So Good to be So Bad! (A Megamind/Nickelodeon CKII Quest Crossover)

Omakes
Alright, so in regards to Omakes being made for this Quest, I want to start off by saying that I am all in favor of people making them for whatever reasons they want. For the funnies, for exploring characters unseen in this thread, for gaining extra modifiers in future rolls, etc. Go right ahead, the sky is the limit with whatever you want to do, but there are some ground rules I want to lay out with it.

1.) If you're planning on writing one, run it by me in DMs first in case it might conflict with something I have planned. Even if it does, there's a chance it can still be counted as non canon and kept around for that very reason.
2.) When it comes to the canonicity of the Omakes and the rewards you get from one, it's not as simple as some other Quests. I'm a guy who is very heavy on when it comes to keeping lore in check so that it doesn't balloon out into an over-bloated mess. Meaning if you do write something and it doesn't fit, like stated above, it can get you a small reward but not much. At best, you'll get a +5 modifier to rolls to whatever characters or actions are involved in the non-canon omakes and those things alone. I'm not a fan of putting modifiers onto rolls that have nothing to do with what you wrote, so if you want it to be counted, then you'll have to follow those rules as a result.
3.) However, when it comes to Omakes considered canon to the story, expect a +10 modifier to them for future rolls. Like I said, I'm big on continuity, so run it through me and I'll see what it can apply for.


EDIT: Ah, a few more things I've thought about regarding Omakes.

4.) Some franchises or pieces of media owned by Nickelodeon and, by extension, Paramount that I have not seen can be done by you guys if you so chose too. I know one of you wanted to do something with Power Rangers, even if I don't have a clue about that franchise, but that shouldn't stop you from going through with it. It just falls under a strange gray area that I can award any amount of reward to depending on its relevance.
And 5.) You have the chance to gain more points with a traditional Omake depending on these factors: its length, writing in general, and how badass it is. The extra rewards will be... a secret, until further notice. :)

I see. Following this line of logic, when it comes to media which has had multiple versions of it airing on the same network, which version will you pull from?

For example, Transformers and TMNT, is it touch and choose from across the entire lineup or are you going to go for a specific version
 
if you do end up allowing South Park (or at least the south park content that is on paramount) I wonder if this means we can recruit Kenny or even Butters. funding and extra brainpower can't hurt.
 
Just be careful to avoid Cartman lol

Except maybe his Adult, Rabbi self. But otherwise yeah, be careful around that little freak.
Actually that reminds me, if we do pull from South park, will we be using the Post Covid Special version of them (Adults, most of them are living unsatisfying lives, but we get one of the few good Cartman timelines out of this) or just regular South Park? (Kids, with most people in their prime Cartman is a bastard)

Or the Better timeline (Everyone is happy, but Cartman has once again screwed himself over with Time Travel. Seriously, every time he does that he just seems to make things worse for himself.)

Although Hobo Cartman seems like he's one ego death away from reinventing himself into Mitch Connor and pulling himself together only to become an even bigger bastard than regular Cartman.
 
Also something to note, in the hypothetical that South Park is used, its unlikely that Kenny would ever work with us for One Simple Reason. We're trying to be the best villain we can be, and we all know that Mysterion would rather be caught dead then ever working with a villain.
 
Turn 1 (April, 20XX: YEAR ONE OF POST-CATACLYSM)
April. The month when Spring hits the air and the warm rays of the sun begin peeking out of the dark, cold clouds of winter. Normally, most people would be heading outside to parks and campsites to welcome the new seasonal changes, but when the world hit rock bottom, so too did most people's fearlessness. Nowadays, you couldn't go to the grocery store without people throwing themselves to the ground and begging for mercy.

Which, to someone as EVIL as yourself, was cool as it was annoying. Especially when you're trying to check out.

"For the LAST time!" you groan, pinching the bridge of your nose. "I just need you to scan these items so I can head back to my evil lair before our first annual 'Villain World-Dominating Meeting' can take place! It's an important event, and it'd paint a poor look to Henchman Spencer if he saw his new master show up with his arms covered in plastic bags."

The cashier quivered in his spot behind the register, cowering under your scrutinizing gaze. "Pl-please, sir. I-I-I have a family."

"That's nice and all, but I'm also on a time limit, sooooo-"

You snap your fingers and several DOOM-Bots drift up lazily past your head, fixating their gaze on the pale teenager.

"Chop-chop."

"Okay!" you eagerly clap your hands, barely able to hold back your excitement at this moment. "Welcome, Minion and Henchman Spencer, to the first annual 'Villain World-Dominating Meeting'!"

"Whoo-HOO!!" Minion cheered, fist-pumping the air.

"Uhh... is this costume really necessary?" Henchman Spencer asked, tugging at the collar of his new stylishly black leather uniform, complete with the spikiest of spikes to intimidate his enemies. And the zebra-patterned socks he wore over his tight leather pants actually worked well with the ensemble.

"It feels like all the blood circulation to my head is getting cut off."

"Oh, don't worry, that's natural," you wave off his concerns. "After the third or so heat spell, your body will start adjusting to the new changes. But alas, that is not what we are here for, isn't it?"

"No, sir!"

"Wait, how do you know it's after the third-?"

"BEHOLD!"

Pressing a nearby button, the conference table flips itself inward and reveals a blue holographic map display of the United States, each of its several regions and states marked off by colors representing the person in control of it. Right now, your own kingdom (something you can't help but feel giddy by saying!) was highlighted in blue, the same color as your skin.

The Midwest was green, the same color as most of the ghosts that occupy the land.

The West and Pacific Coast were colored in steel grey, along with parts of Canada extending to the north. You forget the name of the man who rules the land, but from the pictures you've seen of him, he seems like the type of guy to hate all things colorful. No style to his regime. Pitiful.

The Southwest was colored yellow, because... well, you liked yellow and it's hot down there, so it would make sense, right? Right. It's where that strange chemical industry was running things out of, and chemicals were often acidic so c'est la vie.

The Southeast where those terrorists operated from was colored orange because orange was your least favorite color, and you hated the government while it was still standing so it fits. Too bad you can't tell the folks back at the prison your thoughts on the color, they'd probably go bananas if they heard such slanderous talk!

The new animal-human state of Florida was colored brown just because. Moving on.

The Northeast was colored lime to reflect the strange colorings that the alien robot invaders bore when they invaded last year. The only state to stand out from the others was New York, colored a deep pinkish color due to the other alien species that inhabited the state and other provinces of Canada. Still kinda freaky to think about.

"It looks... pretty," Henchman Spencer comments.

"And very well-organized, sir! As expected of a man such as yourself!" Minion praises, before gaining a pondering look. "But aren't there more of these Kings out there in the country than what we see now? I know we're next door to some weird company run by frog-men and there's also the weird political limbo that Hawaii's in."

"What's wrong with Hawaii?" you ask, raising an eyebrow.

"Uhhh..." Minion lamely says.

"Ooh, I know that one!" Henchman Spencer raises his hand. "Back when my little sister and I were booking it out of L.A., we heard about some weird group of people from Asia or wherever occupying the islands and raising all sorts of heck over it. Don't know who they are, just that they seem really into a theme involving fire or something other."

You grin at Henchman Spencer's information. You knew you had made the right choice by picking out his application from the various hundreds who had applied.

"Very good, Henchman! Consider yourself earning a bonus for that little bit of news! Minion, try to step it up next time."

Henchman Spencer beamed proudly at his boss's words until a jealous glare from Minion had him shrinking in his seat.

"So, lemme make some adjustments annnnnnnd, done."

You colored the state of Hawaii red because... well, orange was already taken so might as well go with the next best color suitable for it.

"So, then," you clap your hands together again, staring at your right and left-hand men. "Minion, Henchman Spencer... it is time we begin moving forward with Step 1 of what I'm (tentatively) calling Operation: DOOM-pocalypse!"

"Ooooh," Minion had stars in his eyes at the name while Henchmen Spencer had a bemused look on his face.

"Ah, but we're not really destroying the world, are we?"

"No, that's way too overblown."

Henchmen Spencer heaves a sigh of relief.

"How can you rule over something that's destroyed after all?"

And promptly winds up slamming his forehead into the table with a pitiful groan.

"Well," he said, his voice muffled. "At least the house I got will be more comfortable than the one waiting for me in Hell."

You frown at your Henchman's words, snapping your fingers to Minion, who promptly yanks Henchman Spencer back up to a proper sitting position. "None of that now, Henchman. We all have a lot of work ahead of us and we can't waste it all on pondering philosophical questions about our lives anymore. Time is short and we're surrounded by enemy vultures on all sides."

You stand up from your chair, feeling the hand of your Destiny firmly clasped down on one spiky-padded shoulder of yours.

"Now, let's get out there and show the world that we mean business."

NATIONAL ACTIONS

Pick One For Each Category
[ ] Fortify Your Borders
You have plenty of secret hideouts and weapon caches stashed across all of Michigan, but nothing too concrete to stop intruders from attempting another invasion on your own private soil. And while Metro City might be barricaded well enough, the same cannot be said for the rest of Michigan. Perhaps taking time out to tidy up and ensure you meant business to your enemies by showing them just what kind of firepower they would be dealing with.

[ ] Cleaning House
Metro City might be under your thumb, but there are those who dare question the genius intellect of yours truly! From good samaritans and teenage hoodlums to shady underworld dealings, you find that not everything is as well kept as you've been preaching to your loyal followers. This will not do. Gather the DOOM-Bots and march into the dens of these rebel scum, and personally ensure the security of your capital!

[ ] Public Relations
Evil Overlord of Metro City you might be, not even you can deny that these last few months that you have been... slacking, in terms of putting yourself out there to the public and making yourself known. And the rare times that you do, everybody freaks out and starts heading to the hills to avoid looking in your general direction. You're starting to get annoyed by it, so it's time you fix that. No more Mr. Existential Supervillain, say hello to Mr. Extroverted Supreme Ruler!

[ ] Supervillain Extraordinaire!
You're not the only supervillain on this side of the world and there are plenty of nefarious capes and other super-powered beings lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike! It only pays credence for you to offer something of an olive branch out to those interested in hearing out what a REAL supervillain these days is like.

[ ] Reach Out to Conglom-O Corp.
"We Own You." That is the slogan of the American powerhouse company called Conglom-O, which operates (surprisingly) out of the Midwest, despite the recent hauntings in the area. Apparently, they're using that as a way to generate more business by staying behind and picking up where their competitors left off, who had fled with their tails between their legs. Smart move. And since they seem to be expanding their power base in the region, perhaps it would be wise to set up a meeting of sorts with its CEO.

[ ] Buy Out a Restaurant Chain
So apparently, one of the quickest routes other Kings near you have taken to in order to accumulate some kind of income is buying out or flat-out overthrowing entire companies overnight to increase their wealth and status in reputation. Which, honestly, sounds pretty cool enough for you to try your hand in! Now then, what could you look into... mmm, this is one good burger that Minion picked up for you for lunch.

...waaaaait a second.

[ ] Investigate a Region (PICK ONE)
The Cataclysm shook up everything that you thought was normal about the old world, and even now a year later, you're still having trouble finding out what exactly has happened in that time. Ghosts, aliens, supervillains, and weird animal-human hybrids have become a common staple of the current lifestyle in America and possibly beyond that too. But as a man once said, "Knowledge is power". And you crave that knowledge above all else. So, let's see what's happening in the world around you.

-[] The Midwest
-[] The West & Pacific Coast
-[] The Southwest
-[] The Southeast
-[] The Northeast
-[] Florida
-[] New York
-[] Hawaii


[ ] Happily Ever Never
The humans of this world grew up with a plethora of fairy tales stemming from ancient folklore, some of which seem to have some truth behind them. While you put more focus on more mature means of storytelling (such as how to hijack cars and create mustard gas from scratch), you can't deny that in a world teeming with magic, doing some research into these fairy tales could pay off in the long run.

[ ] Upgrade the DOOM-Bots
Ah, your DOOM-Bots. The pride and join of your private army. You've gone through plenty of good times with them, and a lot of very bad ones too. But one thing is for certain, they're always reliable to help you and Minion out in a pinch. But with recent times and new threats around the corner, perhaps it would be wise for you to start looking into potential upgrades with combat abilities for the little bots.

[ ] Tinker A Bit
Just because you're an Evil Overlord now doesn't change the fact that you're a mad scientist! Roll up the sleeves, put on the welding goggles, and toggle the Triple-Reinforced-Super-Durable shielding around your evil lair to begin building constructs of DOOM once again!

[ ] Capture a Ghost
During the early months of the Cataclysm, some of those strange ghost creatures from the Midwest attempted to tear down all of Michigan, only to get scared off by your defense system scattered across the state. While that's good and all, you still don't know the full range of these ghosts and their supernatural abilities, so perhaps finding one for a little good-ol' fashioned mad science experiment could fix that for you.

[ ] Look for a Fairy
That strange Crocker fellow seems to have an obsession with small little fairy creatures that he claims is where he got his magic powers from. And while rumors are shaky in certain areas, some say that he is searching for some fairies that slipped past him during the Cataclysm. Perhaps you could look into exploring the land for such a creature for your own benefit?

PERSONAL ACTIONS

Pick Two Personal Actions for Each Hero Unit
OR
Combine Both Personal Actions on a Hero Unit for ONE National Action

[ ] Watch the News
It's been awhile since you actually sat down and listened to Roxanne Ritchi speak about the current state of affairs, so let's see what she has to say now.

[ ] Get a Training Regimen Going
They say that brains over brawn always triumphs, but you also feel like that you can combine the two into serving one end-goal: helping you win. Time to hit the gym.

[ ] Commit a Crime
When was the last time that you actually let loose and showed this city that you were the top dog around here? Perhaps it was time to remind them of who was in charge.

[ ] Tidy Up Shop
While Megamind went around town doing his own thing, Minion felt like it was his duty to make sure that his boss's stuff was kept in proper condition. Clean up around Megamind's lair and office to get all the unnecessary junk out of here.

[ ] Cheer Up the Boss
Megamind has been feeling a little blue lately... no, not like that. Ever since Metro Man died and he came down from his rush of being the Evil Overlord of Metro City, he's been so occupied preparing for world domination that he's acted so glum when alone lately. And it was Minion's job to take care of him in whatever way that an alien fish in a gorilla robot body could.

[ ] Investigate Henchman Spencer
That Henchman Spencer. He thinks he's so cool with his non-robotic body, his long wavy hair, and his cool-looking socks to impress the boss. Well, Minion could see through his act. And he was going to make sure that this guy didn't take away his boss for whatever nefarious gains he had in store!

[ ] Hang Out with Carly
Despite moving Metro City for a clean slate, Carly's been depressed about everything that's happened in the past year. And Spencer, being the dutiful big brother that he is, was not going to let his baby sister wallow in self-misery on his watch.

[ ] Check On Things Back Home
Spencer was quick to get him and Carly out of L.A. when things went straight to heck, but he would be remiss to say that he felt bad about the friends that were probably still stuck in L.A. under Crocker's tyrannical reign. Maybe it was time to get back in touch with some old friends?

[ ] Build Something
First and foremost, Spencer was an inventor. A man capable of building illustrious works of art that (always) caught on fire at the most inconvenient time. But with his new boss giving him free access to a lair of state-of-the-art technology, Spencer feels like this is where he belongs.

QM's notes: Before we go any further, here me out.

1.) I know that the Hero Unit statsheets are not out yet. They will be in about 2-3 hrs, so bear with me here.
2.) Voting will end at approximately 12 AM EST TONIGHT of this posting, meaning you all have eight and a half hrs from now to vote. But feel free to discuss things out and don't rush straight into voting if you want to wait on the Hero Unit statsheets. Or feel free too, I won't stop you.
 
Okay so basic plan here.

So I already have Ideas. Mainly for which personal Actions to take.

Megamind should watch the news and start training. Brains and brawn are better together than apart.

Minion should tidy up shop and keep megamind happy, Spencer is really only here for the paycheck and is no danger to the relationship between the two.

Spencer should check in on Carly, Freddy and Sam. AKA the first two options. He can indulge his creative spirit later. right now, friends and family come first.
 
[ ] Look for a Fairy
That strange Crocker fellow seems to have an obsession with small little fairy creatures that he claims is where he got his magic powers from. And while rumors are shaky in certain areas, some say that he is searching for some fairies that slipped past him during the Cataclysm.

Question, what is the DC in this action to get a Winx Club Fairy?
 
For a Friend, lol
QM's note: Making this post for a friend on Discord writing server we share, as he made a plan of his own and wanted to share it, but has no SV account.
