Missy is regular human durability without EGO. EGO is basically some sort of weird magic mind armor that either popped out of your head or out of some collective consciousness, and wearing it gives some bonuses. In this quest, using EGO changes you physically so that's how Missy and other EGO users become a bit more durable. Training really hard will not give you super strength or bulletproofness here which means the people with regular non Brute superpowers are just a little more screwed than usual.
 
[X] Getting people evacuated out of here before things get worse! There's rubble in the streets, and all the projectiles being fired are dangerous, and the panicking crowds are making it worse.
-[X] The people who got injured from that cannon blast, it's going to be hard for them to get out of here.
-[X] Try to convince people to help you with the wounded or those too stubborn to leave, many hands make light work after all.
-[X] Use your strings to turn rubble into improvised shields and remove obstacles blocking the crowds flight.
-[X] after fight is over, chew new wave out for endangering people and escalating a situation, and make sure someone is videotaping it

Our main goal is to get people out, shield them if we can and get others to help move the wounded, give her a sense of purpose.

Add a bit extra action for our string use, I have to say in the future depending on the fine control of her strings, we could turn Missy into a Puppeteer like Alice Margatroid maybe with dolls or worse human bodies.

Honestly while Missy could go villainy, I would prefer if she can stay neutral as much as possible so if villains and heroes fight each other then our main goal is to hang around on the outskirt getting civilians out of the battlefield or use our strings to shield them from collateral damage.

So... I dont know if this has been brought up before, but is it going to be possible for Missy to grow stronger in the future? Like, maybe getting more EGO, or developing her own, etc. After all, given what is shown with Puss in Boots, I dont think that Missy will be throwing down with the real heavy hitters unless the Puss in Boots is pulling a Plague Doctor and is secretly an ALEPH or something. Not criticizing, I just want to know if this is the type of quest where we pull strings behind the scenes and get our way through indirect means, or if we geet the option for more direct methods later on.
 
We likely will be able to gain more methods dark river
Collect egos by encountering their holders and bonding with with them
Syncronize with them by understanding their nature and finding what is the same between the abnormality and the owner
Meddle with their format until they befit their current owner (egos can be specialized as shown by limbus and can be tweaked as the workshop ego and the old faith abnormality also showed)
Master the ego, find out all that it can do, then like gebura, create our own interpretation
And connect with the ego, find the border between it and Missy and set it up properly to safely invoke the power of the abnormality

We have only one but the possibility of gaining other ego exists
And considering Missy is a kid
I wouldn't be surprised if Missy had the most altering ego shifts
Puss likely going to cause Missy fashion sense to be............. boot centric and some catty traits in likelihood if he does physically rub off on her
Puss ego will likely be our building block, gebura could create a variant of the mimicry ego and Missy can likely do similar by doing the things I mentioned
Though wellcheers Missy will be funny, if only because I imagine its mutation will likely make her sleepy and relaxed........... and maybe drinks more soda than I do
Which is saying something
Likely be able to work long shifts though so despite the sleepy she'll likely be better than expected
And more dangerous
Just like wellcheers was able to 'remove' agents from play despite being so beneficial
 
You're probably going to be locked into one EGO for now. Puss in Boots isn't really a combat based abnormality so getting other people to do things for you or structuring things ahead of time is probably what you're going to be focused on. Also Alephs are going to be rare, and your string mechanic with slight chance manipulation lets you run from most fights or at least dodge most hits. I'll try to balance things so you can win if the fight's meant to be fair.
 
Which means there will be situation where fairness does not come into play.
Make sense since in both setting....it is not usually fair.
Shall we prepare....for a journey of pain and suffering?
So that The puss in boots will see the boy put on his crown, and with a smile, listen to every word that cat says.
anyway, My plan is we find the shrimps later and ask for a favor since we helped them

Will be interesting to see how you write it as getting people to listen and follow her plan would be tricky due to her age and the possible Master effect from Puss in Boots for those that listen to her.

I can't help but think Missy could become troubleshooter cape for hire or halping depending on how others ask her?

If y'all want to be a mercenary or a helpful helper then you'll need to vote for it or try to steer the quest in that direction. Though keep in mind if you just keep doing everything everyone asks for you Missy becomes a bit more gullible and likely to take things at face value.
 
If y'all wanted better fighting capabilities Headless Ichthys would have been better, if y'all wanted a bit of growth or the ability to increase your personal strength with minions so you can lead a tiny army then Laetitia would have been the best option. You chose trickster kitty this time so now you have to lean a bit more towards that method of solving problems. If you want to choose a whole new abnormality you'll need to die or get some sort of ending first.
 
So something that nobody said is how different the now is from canon unless AU elements are present.

UNDERSIDERS
-Unexistent
--Regent and Bitch have powers but are far from Brockton.
--Grue either already has powers or will get them soon and even then he started his villain carrer in New York so probably there.
--Tattletale doesn't have powers yet

COIL
-Active but away from Brockton, still obtaining resources and probably hasn't even selected Brockton as his place to rule yet.

ABB
-actually unchanged beyond no Bakuda.

E88
-Victor, Othala and Rune still haven't been send to help them, probably they still don't even have powers.
-Hookwolf, Cricket and Stormtiger are active but hasn't joined yet and are away from Brockton.
-Purity, Night, Fog and Crusader are still part of the Empire.
-Should have a few OC's considering their fame of only holding capes for a time before they go to do something else in canon.

FAULTLINE CREW
-Spitfire hasn't triggered and Labyrinth is still in the Asylum.

PROTECTORATE
-Mostly unchanged, Dauntless and Triumph shouldn't have powers yet.

WARDS
- Aegis and Clockblocker are the only canon characters that should be there (Aegis triggering bettween 1 to 2 years before Missy and Clockblocker either 1 year or a few months before)

NEW WAVE
-Glory Girl still doesn't powers (she got her powers after Gallant who got them later than Missy)
--This one is also kind of worrying because for what we were told by herself at this moment of her life she should have an really high compatibility with the Queen of Hatred.

UBER AND LEET
-Either no powers or experimenting with them. Leet is super careful and took a while before discovering what his specialty was, while Uber doesn't care and is just following Leet around.

BOSTON
-Completely different than canon, the Boston Games are either in progress or will start soon.

There's gonna be a few tweaks to some canon people and the canon timeline, I'm mostly using the Worm wiki timeline as a reference for what's supposed to be going on right now. Big thanks for summing up what the current state of things are right now.

Didn't knew about it. I was wrong with Triumph, Tattletale and Purity.

Boston Games happenned way earlier than I tought considering how Victoria mentions them so they also ended.
 
This also does give us an interesting bit of context
The initial domino for the ego event likely occured before Missy trigger and been there long enough that it accelerated and altered certain events
Like say Missy gaining Puss in boots (or other abnormalities) instead of the space manipulator shard
Depending on other factors it is entirely possible that scion mayhaps popped the bubble on the city and accidentally allowed it to spill in likelihood to earth bet or if this is a diverging universe point big enough technically a neighbor of earth bet, an earth waw if you will
 
[X] Getting people evacuated out of here before things get worse! There's rubble in the streets, and all the projectiles being fired are dangerous, and the panicking crowds are making it worse.
-[X] The people who got injured from that cannon blast, it's going to be hard for them to get out of here.
-How are you doing this anyways?
-[X] Try to convince people to help you with the wounded or those too stubborn to leave, many hands make light work after all.
-[X] after fight is over, chew new wave out for endangering people and escalating a situation, and make sure someone is videotaping it

Seems like a better option to me, also Sea-man is a perfect name for Skidmark, very suggestive.
