Name: Nikki
Gender: Female
Race: Barbie Doll
Appearance:

Personality: Pretty much the number 2 BFF of Barbie, Nikki is notorious for ALWAYS being in the know when it comes to fashion, especially with her blog. When you've got this much style, why not share it? So, like really shallow, but very adventurous and willing to help a friend out.

Starting Weapon: Glitter bombs!

Starting Abilities:
Always In The Know [Level 1 Passive] - Nikki's abilities of almost always knowing future trends gives her a +1 to Dodging Physical Attacks.

BARBIEEE!!! [Level 3 Active] - Nikki calls on the aid of Barbie, who arrives as a friendly ally for four turns. However, Barbie can only be called once per battle. Barbie has access to two special abilities:

Patching You Up - Barbie heals one character, with the healing scaling based on the whims of the RNG. (AKA, the roll.)

Life in the Fast Lane - Calling upon her abilities as a race car driver, Barbie rams into an enemy at high speed in her car. This ability is high-risk, high reward, as the car is quite prone to exploding, causing collateral damage for all of those involved.

Glitter Bomb [Level 1 Active] - Nikki throws a glitter bomb at enemies, raining down a veritable cloud of glitter on all those it befalls, as well as disorienting them for two turns.

Live from the Battlefield [Level 1 Active] - By vlogging one other character's escapades during the fight, Nikki can temporarily give them a boost to their morale, meaning a +1 bonus to all Attack rolls, for two turns. This ability has a three turn cooldown.

Backstory: Nikki is from the world of Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse, where she is a fashion blogger and one of the best friends of the aforementioned Barbie.

I was confused by Barbie's abilities (I thought they were yours), but I see it now. Approved...once I get a Text Color.

[wipeout1024]

Dark violet!

[Greatness942]

Dark violet!

Then she is Approved!

If I don't get any more replies, I'll use Amnis as the last free thing.

[OceanSoul]

Is Nikki life-sized, or doll-sized? What about Barbie?

Life-sized, and Barbie is too.

Staring into the cold, sterile room with unblinking eyes, Amnis draws a plan together in his mind. Focusing, he attempts to turn his epidermal layer into a thick carapace. [7] He hardens it, which should protect him. Thus, he walks in. [Spot: 8] Immediately turning his head left and right, he could see that no threats were near the door at all. Walking into the room, he continued looking through the area [Spot: 9] He turns his head to the right, and sees something shocking. Illuminated by red light, the creature seemed to be a crouched over human, with what seemed to be a scrounged together combination of a black shirt and a black labcoat, with dark violet pants. The creature seemed to wear a mask, with the eyes and mouth sewn shut. Amnis could see that it was the actual body parts that were stitched together, the mask still hanging open around those spots. The other eye was an unblinking purple, that bore into Amnis's soul. [A/D: 3 v 6] Amnis dodges out of the way of a strike from behind, rolling away from the blow. In front of him is a very similar creature, though instead of the first one's get up, this one had slightly more color, as he wore a silver sweater with grey jeans. He could now see sharpened claws that glowed purple with a magical energy.
Section Three: Paralyzed will begin next turn.

So, I have multiple character ideas, one of them is an idea I used some time ago, but to somewhat less sillyness than I wish I was able to.

The question is, would it be okay to have a permanent NPC ally, if all movement was tied to them. For context, the idea I had had, was a pyrovore. The thing about them, is that the gun and the monster its attached to have separate brains, and the gun is the smart one that does the thinking. So effectively, it could take an action to try and make the body do something, or use an ability with a cooldown to do so guaranteed.

I've got other ideas, I just really fuckng want to use this one to its full potential.

That sounds really cool! I would definitely be interested in seeing how that character works.

"Well, hello there... what exactly are you two?"

Assume a posture that is good for counter-attacks. Hopefully, I'll intercept any incoming blows and counter them. Make sure my carapace is maintained so that if I happen to fail to intercept I don't take as much damage. Also, avoid eye contact with that purple-eyed fellow, I don't trust that eye.

Spoiler: did somebody call fire support? (click to show/hide)

Name: Hellstorm(the cannon, self given, and because he can't talk nobody knows this), Bob(the pyrovore, it has a nametag and everything!)
Gender: Flamespurt cannon, pronouns wise though, just use it.
Race: Flamespurt cannon(oh, and the dimwitted walking stomach it's attached to)
Appearance:

Personality: Hellstorm has a short temper, is vindictive, and just dislikes people in general, but it's smart enough to realize that without a fleet, it means very little in the world, so it begrudgingly lives with the fact that it can't just kill people anymore. Bob eats, that's it, Bob just eats, that is Bobs entire existance, eating and carrying around a flamespurt cannon, it isn't smart enough to think about anything else, hence why Hellstorm has to MAKE IT.

Starting Weapon: itself
Starting Abilities: Passive or Active?
Of two minds(passive Lv 4) - a pyrovore has two independent brains. One within its body, and the other within its weapon and possessing far higher intelligence. It is the weapons job to attack hostiles and identify things as food or not-food. This character is the cannon, but as you cannot have one without the other, the Pyrovore has to come with it. As such, the pyrovore is an NPC that acts of its own accord and possesses its own set of passive abilities.

• true omnivore - a pyrovore can eat just about anything due to being effectively an ambulatory digestive system. It can consume metal and rock just as well as it can animals and plants. This is used to fuel the cannons shots, the more it eats, the better Hellstorms next shot will be, with a modifier of +1 to the damage for every persons worth of material it consumes
• caustic and combustible - whenever Bob is harmed, it releases spurts of acidic blood and digestive bile which damage enemies in melee range based on the amount of damage. When they die, they will explode, VIOLENTLY
• Wears the pants - Bob is the body of this duo, that means that whatever it does, Hellstorm has to come with, and that all melee combat is left up to Bob to do, Hellstorm must use a once per turn free action called "nudge" to try and make Bob do something specific
• big - Bob is very large, this makes him take less damage from non-AoE attacks and do more damage with melee, but he has a hard time fitting into spaces not designed for vehicles, is easier to hit, and takes MORE damage from AoE attacks.

Assume direct control(active Lv 1) - Hellstorm FORCES Bob to perform an action. Has a two turn cooldown
Take aim(active Lv 1) - Hellstorm stills Bob and moves it to be in line with the target, giving the next attack +2, but can't be used on the same turn as assume direct control or a nudge.

Backstory: once an ordinary pyrovore from hive fleet behemoth. Then warp shit happened, the beast and cannon losing their connection to the rest of the swarm, and winding up hurdling through magical space hell until they fell out here, this process has dramatically increase Hellstorms intelligence to human levels, but left Bob still mostly animalistic.

Seems pretty cool, but I need a level for your "big" ability, Of Two Minds. Since there's six starting points, and you used two for your other two abilities, perhaps a Level 4 ability is good for that?

The reason I have it listed with a question mark is because I couldn't really figure out how expensive it should be.

I made sure to give it plenty of downsides so that it wouldn't be such a high level ability, and then the rest of the remaining points would be allocated elsewhere. As is, Of Two Minds is three(technically four if you really want to count the fact that I have little control over the characters actions as an ABILITY) separate low level passives plus an extra(mostly uncontrolled) action per turn packed into one ability, but it also has several negative traits, such as potentially dealing damage to allies on death, no communication with other characters(yet at least), trouble moving in corridors and buildings, and being a big target who is extra vulnerable to AoE
