Congratulations, you've now turned her into a supervillain

Speaking of, where's our jobber?

[Taricus]

I PMed that to Dwarmin. Got one PM back and heard nothing from him since

[Twinwolf]

This might be me being ignorant about comics, but what's a jobber?

[Taricus]

Not a comic term but a wrestling one. Simply put, the guy who there to lose intentionally.

Congratulations, you've now turned her into a supervillain

plot twist: she already was a villain

IT'S RIGGED!

[Dwarmin]

Could I please get Radia's drawback choices? Sorry if I seem a bit pushy on that.

Also, when is the game expected to start?

Probably Tuesday, on both questions. I am enjoying my holiday weekend.

[Twinwolf]

So Dwarmin's not dead, because they followed through on the above post and I got my Drawback choices. Now to choose which one, because I can't decide

Choose one!

1. Shadowself: Radia has often given thought to the nature of duality...about light, and darkness. She had often wondered why she feels uneasy at times, as if being watched. And dreams do come, where she sees through other eyes...another world, like she saw before...only recently, has she become concerned that the accident caused something of herself to be cast off, a dark construct...or, perhaps she is the construct, and this being whom she feels instinctively knows her, is the real person...either way, Radia knows this being is eager for a reunion-a merging of whatever forces that were split in the original accident. The being of light she now is, however, knows this would be the death of the person who calls herself 'Aurora'.

   

Effect: During the accident, Aurora unintentionally spawned a hostile twin who controls the opposite of her powers-the ability to manipulate and embody the darkness. Her 'sister' ultimately seeks to absorb Aurora back into herself, making them whole once again...which unfortunately, would be fatal-at least metaphorically, for the both of them. This 'villain' is nearly unstoppable and difficult to dissuade, and will attempt to 'kill' Radia at every turn.

2. Diffusion: Radia's energy form has the potential for nearly limitless power...but, it comes at a price. The longer she spends as Aurora, the less she feels the need to return to a purely physical existence as Radia Verana. She must be careful not to stay too long in her alternate form, lest she cease to be Radia entirely.

Effect: Per level of her power, Radia can spend up to 10 minutes in her other form without harm. After this time, however, she begins to take 1 stamina damage for every minute (equivalent to ten combat rounds) until she either reverts, or 'diffuses'. All time spent in this form must be rested with the same amount of time in response-if she spends 24 hours as Aurora, she must spend the next 24 as Radia-incurring damage if she ever spends a total of more than 10 rounds in her light form.

yay, dwarmin lives
now we can mob them for the ic thread
*grabs pitchforks*

[Criptfeind]

I also got mine, since we're sharing.

Spoiler: Dem (click to show/hide)

Choose one!

1. Overpowered: John's massive strength is surely a boon, but also a massive drawback. He might be able to lift a battle tank and crack it open like a can of tuna, but he has trouble with shoelaces and pretty vases. He is often forced into an uncomfortable medium-a balance between overwhelming power, and delicate control.

Effect: John's strength and prowess are effectively 'capped' safely at 6-if he chooses to raise these abilities up to their max of 10, he incurs some penalties. His coordination is reduced by one point for every point over six he raises his physical max, making him easier to hit with enemy attacks. He also incurs a +5% percent chance of something 'bad' happening-he may accidentally crush his opponent into a fine powder, or demolish the bus he was trying to pick up. If he ever goes into 'lethal' combat mode, however, his coordination is no longer penalized-since he no longer cares about collateral-while, his unwitting destruction chance is doubled.

2. Stoneheart: John has always felt a keen affinity to the Earth...and when he regained his powers, he understood why. He owes a debt. Somewhere in his distant past, he made a bargain-perhaps his very soul-to obtain his great power. Payment has been delayed for far too long...and, deep down, he fears this untold reckoning.

   

Effect: John owes a debt to...someone, or something, for his powers. He will have to pay it back. With interest!

3. There can be only one: John's first thought on gaining his fragment of memory was...fear. Not for himself, but of others-those who would steal the Stoneheart, if they could. His heart, while his and his alone...was neither good nor evil, and had no allegiance beyond those who have the power to claim and wield it. He further felt this heart was also merely a fragment of a greater whole, one that desired reunion with the others...perhaps, at the expense of those who wield them.

Effect: John's heart is not the only heart. There are other 'Stonehearts' in the world, each one carefully protected by their owner. If a wielder is particularly ruthless...or merely fortunate...he can claim another piece of the Stoneheart, and strengthen his powers even further. In turn, however, he finds himself the target of the others. In the end, the Heart must be made whole-this is a deep imperative in all who wield the power, that is difficult even for a good man to resist entirely. All Stonehearts feel the need to seek and claim more pieces of this great power, perhaps tearing the living stone from the former wielders body if need be.

Cool stuff. I picked highlander mode.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I didn't get anything interesting. Just that stealing Lillian's Gear Sheriff armor takes away her powers. ;-;

[Twinwolf]

I can't decide which one to take. The "evil clone" one seems really comicbook-y, and the other one seems really thematic and/or realistic.

I honestly prefer the 'evil clone' option, if that means anything

[GiglameshDespair]

I wonder when I'll get my drawbacks.
TICK TOCK, DWARMIN

Personally I think the evil clone one sounds far more fun.

I guess that makes sense, though... maybe it could just have a 5% chance per turn of horrendous meltdown and everyone dies?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Iunno, horrendous meltdown and death seems like a terrible tradeoff for bullet-resistant armor
