What Do Ability Scores Represent?

Recently, Into The Odd and the players in my home game helped me realise something fundamental:

Ability scores represent how good you are at acting under pressure.

STR isn't strength, it's toughness;

DEX really means reflexes;

WIS is more accurately calm or willpower;

etc.

+++

It is convention in roleplaying games that your ability scores / attributes / six stats determine who your character is.

High DEX means your character is spry, capable of acrobatic flourish; a good Willpower generally means you can browbeat others / themselves / reality (if you are spellcaster) into doing what they want; etc.

There is pleasure in looking at a sheet and seeing: Oh! These are the things my character is good at.

But you do run into problems. Does my 18 DEX rogue know they are fleeter than the 17 DEX bard? What if my wizard thinks she is stronger than her 10 STR? What if I have a brilliant scheme but my barbarian only has 9 INT?

How well, in other words, does the map represent the territory?

+++

(Art by Vesha, who is an illustrator! source)

I've got three players in my home game:

Vesha plays the teenaged trader Khabar (and his buffalo friend / parent-figure, Paal);

Amanda plays the monkey warrior Boots-Ra, now going white-furred;

Aish plays Captain Phung.

Phung does not yet own a proper sea-going vessel. Perhaps he lost his previous ship? Perhaps he never had one. (He does have a magic five-person sampan, though!)

He is impulsive. He tends to make dodgy deals with hapless village-folk, pick up dangerous-looking objects, and flirt with dangerous-looking men.

+++

Mechanics-wise, here's how my interactions with Aish / Phung tend to go:

Me: Okay, make a DEX save to duck before the hunter stabs you. Aish: Damn, my DEX is only 6, guess we'll see ... Amanda: Oh, no, Phung!

In a previous session:

Me: Okay, I think I'll call for a WIL save, because the ghost in the goat skull is trying to possess you. Aish: Well, my WIL is 5, hopefully this works out ... Vesha: Oh shit, Phung!

Some sessions back:

Me: The automaton shoves you. Make a STR save? Otherwise you'll be on the ground at its mercy. Aish: Guys I have 6 STR, I may be in trouble here. Me: Wait wait wait. What are your stats again?

So it turns out that Aish had terrible rolls at chargen. STR 6 DEX 6 WIL 5. Just going by ability scores, Phung is an idiot weakling.

+++

Thing is, Phung isn't an idiot weakling.

I've got crafty players; they are pretty good at cooking up multi-part schemes. (Their go-to tactic is bamboozling rival factions to show up at the same place, then benefit from the fallout.)

Phung is generally the face for whatever racket they've got going: he's the most obvious leader (the party is generally "Captain Phung and crew"), and Aish plays him as a capable, charismatic go-getter.

Looking at the character sheet, is Aish playing Phung wrong?

Fuck that. A player cannot play their own character wrong. I reject this notion outright.

What's going on?

+++

Different rulesets try to bridge the gaps between player action, character ability, and abstract math in different ways: eliminating mental attributes; going totally skill-based; etc.

The ruleset that comes closest to "solving" this, for me, is Into The Odd.

Saves are the only kind of test player-characters make, in ITO and its derivatives. This is key.

The ruleset assumes competency on the part of characters; you only go to the dice if you need to figure out stuff that is out of your control.

How badly a straight-up fight goes; whether you can jump aside in time if you've accidentally sprung a trap; whether you can improvise a lie on the fly.

+++

Implicitly, and in practice:

The STR stat in ITO is more accurately toughness---ie: how well you can withstand a physically demanding situation you didn't prepare for.

Ditto DEX, which is an abstraction for how quickly your reflexes trigger.

Same with WIL, which is how well you stay calm under duress.

I can be sharp when I've got time and it is a subject I have experience in. But suddenly ask me to make a speech and I'm toast (low INT).

Some folks have no martial arts training but can hold their own if a brawl breaks out in a bar (high STR).

Captain Phung is a pretty cool operator when he's in control, but tends to seize up when things go off the rails (low WIL).

There's my answer to the conundrum of Captain Phung: he's a genuinely capable guy. He's just not necessarily great under stress. His reach exceeds his grasp, sometimes.

+++

Your ability scores don't represent who your character is. Your ability scores represent who your character is, when under duress.

In other words:

Ability scores are who your character is when they are not in control. Ability scores are your character's reactions.

+++

I do feel slow on the uptake, for only grokking this now.

Chris McDowall probably has a post from the mid 2010s or something where he discusses this aspect design in detail, the clever genius bastard. It is probably internalised play-culture within the ITO-and-descendants community; Emms points out that the current edition of Mothership explicitly talks about stats in this way.

Still!

Am glad to have a regular TTRPG group again, and I have them to thank for my epiphany!

(They are kickass. I ran them through Whirling Mummy a while back and it was a RIOT)

The first batch of pictures for Amoré's character journal are here! Also I have been so super sick that I've literally had nothing to do but to work on this for like almost 2 weeks so...

The cover to cover tour officially starts here. All I can say about the front & back is that I lament my lack of experience with my Cricut when I made these decals. I only had 2 "fun" colors to work with at the time & I was still getting comfortable drawing in Procreate, so my silhouette art leaves a lot to be desired compared to some stuff I've made recently. I also found it's incredibly easy to burn this leather book.

But she's volume one, everything with her is a learning experience, & I realized as much as it helps to have a mini heat press for tight corners & small spaces, the cloth barrier they suggest you use between the vinyl & the iron tends to make things harder to press on this scale. So instead I gotta quickly tap straight on the transfer film & hope I don't burn anything around it :(´◦ω◦｀):ﾟﾟ

So at the risk of thoroughly exposing my inner theater kid, Amoré set the precedent with how I went forward creating campaign characters. I started off collecting 5 songs to make a mini story arc (almost like a show choir set list 🙃) that helps me figure out an outline for the kind of story I wanna give them.

Somehow Amoré ended up with a truly horrendous blend of rock & theatre. Absolutely incredibe. No wonder she's always such a dramatic bitch.

It was a lot easier to go in & add little decals around these lyrics. I'm definitely cursed with the Too Much™ gene, but I enjoy the little pops of color they give ✨ plus it justifies me hoarding all these vinyl scraps printing stuff this small lol.

Stat sheet!

In all honesty, as my first character I had no fucking clue what I was doing when I placed these & if I could go back & change one thing I'd probably swap her Intelligence & her Wisdom. She’s definitely more people smart than book smart.

But everything else is...very accurate. She has all the upper body strength of a chicken nugget. Plus on top of the (already) negative I traded disadvantage on everything DEX for magic crystal shoes that can be periodically harvested. Just a way for her to carry around the family fortune without actually having to return to the vault✨

For something that started so average, her CON became a monster & always comes in clutch for her alcohol tolerance. I've played variations of her across a few different one shots & I always manage to roll well for anything alcohol related. The dice do respect a bit 🤣

Spells on the other hand, I floundered with a lot at first because we’re not a combat heavy game, but then I found Chaos Bolt & that was that. It’s essentially Amoré in spell form & I’ve had a ton of fun with it over the years. Also Mage Armor cuz my girl is SO DISTRESSINGLY SQUISHY.

Cantrips were more or less a bit of a toss up. Message was fun for the sheer idea of her using it to talk shit during social events without being caught. But aside from Light serving fun backstory purposes the other 3 are kinda just what looked fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ unless you count the idea that she would absolutely delight in zapping handshakes.

From there, I wanted to extend the world map made by our wonderful DM @cappierong into a full scroll. Ya know, for the aesthetic ✨

Our campaign started in Civania, where Amoré's main Estate is. I just wanted a quick mock up to reference, so I edited a preexisting picture I found that checked all the boxes (large, on a plateau, accessible only by bridge) and then absolutely smothered it in flowers.

But anyways... This is primarily where Diana & Amoré grew up together in their decade of backstory ✨

There was probably waaaay to much back & forth trying to keep the continuity between stuff I've already drawn & this big reference. But I think it turned out pretty ok? Not like if I make a mistake anyone will really know lol.

Scaling was also another big issue I had, & I moments where I thought something was too big I just kinda handwaved it away like "ehhhhh she's from a stupid rich family." But now I have a NEED to draw baby Diana & Amoré around like, the statue gardens or something cuz I feel like certain parts of this place are definitely ominous 👀 especially for children...

And lastly we have the back cover & the High Noble political relationship map! I normally have this closer to the front but for layout purposes it'll be here. I kinda feel like I need to do more for the decoration of it but I can’t think of anything else to add at the moment.

Sam if u read that no you didn't.

But now! Other than a family portrait that I've always wanted to draw, I think I'm ready to move onto the art for Season 1 : Arc 2. It's a pretty hefty amount of art in comparison to others, so I gotta get busy. Especially since I think I'm gonna have to draw a few comics *sobs*

If you made it this far, thanks so much for reading! I'm always excited to talk out our little idiots so thanks for indulging me ❀(*´▽`*)❀

HYBE Girl Groups Thoughts On Each Other Mini Reading

⚠️DISCLAIMER! TAROT CARDS ARE NOT 100% ACCURATE! TAKE EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT! IF MY INTERPRETATIONS ARE INCORRECT FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME!⚠️

ILL’IT

LE SSERAFIM’s Thoughts: 7oC, 4oW, 10oS rx, 8oW rx, Strength rx, AoW, 2oS

They love the group! And think they’re gonna do well, but they really wanna ask them if they really want to do this. They worried the girlies will experience A LOT of hate and they scared and don’t want the girls to experience that pressure and distress.

NEWJEAN’s Thoughts: KoW, 2oC, 8oC, PoS rx, QoW

They love the groups songs and support them but they find it weird how ILL’IT’s sound and concept is just like theirs.

KATSEYE’s Thoughts: 5oC, 7oW, 7oP

They feel as if the company betrayed them! Because they wished to have this sound as their debut song. Now they’re worried about having to achieve the same stats as illit for the debut.

FROMIS 9’s Thoughts: The Hierophant rx, QoP rx

They think illits concept is unique and had a different impact compared to other groups, but they worry about the girls busy schedules and unhealthy diets.

NEWJEANS

ILL’IT’s Thoughts: 4oW rx, 7oC rx, 5oC rx

They think the girls should work better together and be more supportive of one another. They also think NWJNS are really successful and have job/endorsement opportunities for days, and some illit members wish they had that access too.

LE SSERAFIM’s Thoughts: AoP, Hanged Man rx, The Lovers rx, 7oW rx, 10oS rx, Temperance

They think the girls are getting paid!! Some members think the girls are open and fun to talk too, and some aren’t as interested.

KATSEYES Thoughts: 6oP, 5oW rx, 4oC, Magician rx

Some members think the girlies are talented and are sharing really good music on their platforms. Some members wish they had the same concept in order to reach NWJNS success too

FROMIS 9’s Thoughts: KoW, AoC, 3oP, 6oW rx, 3oW

They really love them with all of their hearts, and genuinely so. But some members, probably all are really sad and wish they also had the same success as NWJNS but they unfortunately have to try move on and continue to support NWJNS.

KATSEYE

ILL’IT’s Thoughts: The Emperor rx, PoC, 5oP rx

Some members think they don’t have the passion for being idols, or they think their attitude/aura is too western/intimidating in a way and some members think KATSEYE are creative and happy to see their dreams have come true.

NEWJEAN’s Thoughts: 4oS rx, The Star

They seem to support KATSEYE and think they’ll be successful but NWJNS think the members should prepare themselves for the hate comments from stan twitter.

LE SSERAFIM’s Thoughts: KoP

They think the companies plan to create a western gg planned out well but they unsure about them…

FROMIS 9’s Thoughts: PoP

They think this is something completely new for the kpop industry, and they like it. They wish the girls have long term success too!

LE SSERAFIM

NEWJEAN’s Thoughts: 4oS rx, PoC, PoW rx

They think the girls are still healing from the overworking and workload. Some members think they should be more serious about their career and talent skills. Apart from that, they love their discography tho!

ILL’IT’s Thoughts: 7oP, The Hermit, 6oS rx

They think the IZ*ONE members returning to the industry after the industry was a good plan, and that their hardwork is really paying off but some members think there could be improvement.

FROMIS 9’s Thoughts: 5oS, The Empress rx, 9oP, The World, 6oW rx

They think the members argue one to many times and think the members should use the words clearly in order to avoid downing each other’s confidence. Some members are aware of the groups impact and popularity overseas and are proud of them.

KATSEYE’s Thoughts: Justice rx, 2oW, KoS rx

They think there’s a lot of disharmony amongst the group. They also think LSFM should treat them fairly? And to avoid being too intimidating towards them.

FROMIS 9

LE SSERAFIM’s Thoughts: 7oP rx, The Hermit rx, 3oC rx, QoW rx, The High Priestess, KNoS, The Devil rx, 8oS rx, QoC & The Star

They think the group is still struggling with the loss of one of their members. They believe the girls should fight the company for the sake of their careers and maybe something will change.

NEWJEAN’s Thoughts: 3oW rx, 6oW rx, Judgement

NEWJEANS think they should honestly give up because there is no hope, because they think their fanbase has left them and that has led them to experience many delays.

ILL’IT’s Thoughts: 2oP, 2oC

They seem to love them and they see them working really hard but unfortunately their rewards are not given to them.

KATSEYE’s Thoughts: The Fool, 8oW, The World

They think the group should go the western way and sue the company for mismanagement. The members seem to be baffled at how F9 allowed themselves to be thrown under the bus this way and still stay silent. They think members must attempt to take the leap of faith for the sake of their careers.

TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!! I REPEAT!! TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!!

NNT Rewatch s2ep1-6

(This was written weeks ago but was in my queue. I am moving back to my college town Saturday so busy days are to come but now I have things to procrastinate 😈)

So YAYAYAY time for season 2 (my fave season overall) !! I’ve rewatched this one before, so i actually remember some of this lol

Ban: I quit

Meliodas: your face is the only joke we can handle

HE GOT HIS ASS DAMN

i love both of diane’s orange fits, but s1 leotard hits different

i have thots abt the introduction of power levels that will be told beneath the cut

i mean it’s all very dragon ball (which i love, but in a very different way). I feel like they are just better executed in manga format, because saying the numbers out loud just kinda breaks up the flow of dialogue and action. Plus the numbers never stay accurate since the characters are always powering up and nakaba lowkey just stops using them at one point. so like assault mode!Meliodas has a power of 142,000. BUT he defeats enemies with powers higher than that and is shown to gain even more power. But this is the highest number we have for him. Overall, theyre clunky, not updated enough to be accurate, and just kinda cheesy :/ I feel like plot could have been added to justify and explain the eye of Balor (AKA Drole if i remember correctly) but it’s just used as an excuse to quantify the characters’ strength since this season is mainly focused on physical and emotional growth, as seen by the Ishtar Arc (one of my fave arcs hehe)

merlin’s friendship with hawk is actually so cute tho

so Meliodas’s beginner stats (still missing his powers) are magic 400, strength 960, spirit 2010. The way I see it, his insane spirit strength could mean one of two things: bitch is just hella determined in his quest to end their curses and protect his friends (likely) or merlin taking away his power only affects his strength and magic since spirit has to do with your mind (also likely) anyway what do y’all think?

how the fuck is gowther’s strength 500??? The average person who can lift 50-100 lbs has a strength of 30. HOW IN THE FUCK?? IS GOWTHER SECRETLY SWOLE????

Meliodas being like “no idk who the ten shadows could be haha” when he and merlin literally formed the sins to fight them and HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS is so funny like so tru king lie to their faces

the first thing Zeldris says is “3000 years... please tell me that he’s still alive” which tells me two things: 1) he doesn’t know about Meliodas’s curse, which could explain why estarossa kills him when he’s just going to come back a rival to the throne of the demon king and 2) the listed life expectancy of 1000 years for demons is probably not accurate lol

maybe it’s driven down due to number of battle deaths like the mortality rate of the middle ages lol

we are introduced to a demon who hopes mel is alive, shares a voice actor, AND HAS THE SAME FACE yeah the brother coding is very thick

AJSDBJKBHJEBFNWKFH YESSS THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVE INTRO SONG AND ANIMATION

ban’s refusal to get jericho’s name right makes me laugh every time

Jericho: is scared and runs to Ban

Ban: 🤨 yeah. i don’t remember asking you to grab my arm🙄

im sorry but king rlly was a bad fairy king like mans didnt even know the forest was there 😭 its ok tho i love that for him

King hating Ban at first bc he “killed elaine and destroyed the fairy kings forest” only for Ban to pull THE BIGGEST uno reverse on him will never not be funny

wait does that mean ban is technically the 4th fairy king and king is both the 3rd and the 5th bc that would be rlly funny and does happen quite a bit historically

I love how as much as a smug asshole Ban is, he’s not rubbing it in King’s face and is showing him he’s still his friend

so if Gil is Margaret’s guard and Griamore is Veronica’s, does that mean Howzer was Elizabeth’s ?? bc that would be so fucking funny

Helbram got King’s ass with “and you’re short”

KASBDFNJBSDKF HE LOOKS SO GOOFY😭

MY BABYGIRLS ARE HEREEEE

Best girls Melascula and Derieri fr

i love that they said slader is gay, how can we let the audience know and then gave him the smoothest, gayest voice imaginable

merlin calling og gowther a great magician when we know he was the one to train her is actually so sad, i want to give baby merlin a hug

slader is hot, thanks for coming to the ted talk

how the fuck does he walk like this tho??

is there a reason i just don’t remember why they never really bring up albions again or do they just ~disappear~ conveniently from the story lol

So the whole concept of sacred treasures is really cool to me because they are clearly something unique to the Sins, despite all of the sacred treasures being very different and made of different materials. I mean Gowther’s is straight up made of light Still, them having weapons that serve as a constant and grow with them as they become more powerful is just a neat concept to me. I just wish we could have seen Ban use Courechouse more than just a few episodes. There really isn’t a plot reason he couldn’t have had it beforehand.

Gerheade being a bitch to Ban bc he’s a human makes literally no sense when we learn her backstory with Rou. Like NO sense at all lol

I honestly love that Meliodas destroyed the albion on his own. Like yes, he is my OP blorbo BUT he’s also supposed to be incredibly powerful in canon, which we haven’t seen him go all out with an enemy yet. Not only does he know all about albions (bc he’s a demon), but as leader of the 10 Commandments, he probably was on the controlling side of the golems. Then, as a member of Stigma, he fought against them. Not to mention, this is when he finally gets Lostvayne (the DEMON sword) back. This moment for me is when he gets to show off the perks of him being a powerful and high ranking demon. Might fuck around and do a full post later on Meliodas’s relationship to his own race and what/who he is lol

Ban screaming “you bitch!!” is... a wonderful experience

Yass king (hehehehe get it? bc his name is king? hehehe)

Galand petting Gloxinia is actually so cute lol

Merlin covering Arthur’s eyes 😭😭 she’s his mom fr

“its been a while meliodas” oop galand just let the Meliodas is 3000 years old cat out of the bag ehehe

(stay with me bc im about to get delusional) WAIT so galand says “to think that after all this time has passed youd still be in that form” in this essay i will prove that Meliodas looks like a young teenager because he essentially is biologically young for the demon race. Galand doesn’t know Mel was cursed, so he would think that he had aged in the past 3000 years. Plus, I think the demon king’s possession of Meliodas AND Zeldris can be (somewhat) compared to Sariel’s aging up of Solaseed. Anyway, i feel like this can support my hypothesis of Zeldris and Meliodas are just babies who will eventually look like adults. Also, I think them being super young just enhances the angst quite well.

everyone is fucking terrified of galand but hes just a silly foolish little fellow to me lol

ban and king being brothers-in-law makes my heart happy like theyre so cute

Ban threatening Gerheade and actually being pissed and serious has suddenly reminded me that if i saw a grown ass man who couldn’t die and was a 7 foot tall violent alcoholic i would be fucking terrified

like a demon 14 year old? creepy ig but not a 7 foot tall masochist with an 8 pack

I love how hard Diane always goes for the ones she loves, she’s just so devoted and passionate Best Girl tm behavior

*Merlin being incredibly confidant and nonchalant starting a proposition*

Meanwhile Merlin’s thoughts: SHIT SHIT I HAVE 10 SECONDS TO THINK BEFORE EVERYONE I LIKE DIES

Meliodas doing the same thing Hendy did by reattaching his fucking arms using Darkness and the sins still being like wait?? is Meliodas?? a... demon ??? 🤨

okay so we DO see him in this mode again. But what is it called? and why does he become no thots head empty? its not like he died. and even in assault mode, he has thoughts and emotions (when they’re not stuck in purgatory)

Im ngl, i forgot everything about this episode entirely lol

obvi i hate that derieri died, but at least the souls she fucking ate got returned lol

do we think arthur has a tiny teenage gay crush on meliodas? Discuss.

(the answer is yes ehehe)

gowther walking around with his dang a lang swangin hehe

Gil crying in annoyance and defeat as griamore and howzer bicker is literally so hashtag real

HENDYYY MY BABYGIRL IS BACK BAYBAYYYY

very suddenly realized that Hendy’s probably only like in his 30s. Mans is just not that old

exactly 3 seconds after I had that though Howzer calls him old man LOLLL

i forgot about hendy’s childhood trauma. damn. thats actually rlly sad :/

look how cute he is tho 😭😭

hendy and dreyfus are in love. thanks for coming to another one of my ted talks

so do we think dreyfus is half druid (and zaratras is full) or zaratras is half druid? i mean they’re half brothers but only one is a called a druid sooo

IM SORRY BUT THIS IS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SCREENSHOT ASDFFHSLDH elizabeth scandalized, meliodas accepting his fate, slader leaning in closer and blushing ITS JUST SO GOOD

The ass shot of Diane 🤨😑

Damn Idk how i never realized that all of them pretty much only call Meliodas captain. Merlin, Ban, and Elizabeth are the only ones who will call him Meliodas, but even merlin and ban typically go with captain.

“im a giant, why arent you afraid of me?” hes a fucking demon. lol

BLLK + What BnHA Quirks I Think They'd Have Loosely Based Off Their Canon Abilities & Personalities (And Why)

Chigiri: Super speed. Self explanatory.

Hiori: Some kind of temporary time stop/slow down, even if it's just a split second. "Technician of stillness" in the manga = being able to stop time and still move when others can't.

Bachira: Like Tokoyami's Dark Shadow but his Monster.

Isagi: Some computational thing where he can predict the outcomes of situations with increasing accuracy the better he knows the people involved. I spent too long thinking about this.

Shidou: Can grow and manipulate his hails, teeth, and hair into blades at will. Makes the restraints make more sense.

Nanase: Boosted jump power + falls super slowly. See Pop-Step if you read the BnHA Vigilantes. Does a lot of recon and distraction work.

Kurona: Rock manipulation. Includes (to a more limited extent) dirt, concrete, and sand.

Niko: Foresight to some degree. Uses it to similar effect as Isagi, but for him the future can change so not always as accurate if he predicts too soon.

Reo: Temporarily able to "steal" others' quirks and use them himself with a cooldown in between. The cooldown depends on the time he spends with the quirk.

Nagi: The energy he saves on daily living can be used to make his hits stronger, so he's really lazy.

Aryu: Can take a mental picture of himself at any time and the better he looks in the picture, the more strength/agility/etc he gains.

Tokimitsu: Can create shields/barriers around himself and other people or things. They reflect or repel anything that bounces off them like lasers or physical projectiles.

Yukimiya: Short-distance teleportation/portal-opening. Both himself and other things. Very good at one on one and close quarters fights.

Karasu: Summons a murder of crows that do whatever he wants. Not actual crows but like imaginary ones or something idk.

Otoya: Invisibility. Ninja.

Raichi: Changes the size of his hands like Kendo and punches people. Starting to use it more to block people's vision, etc.

Rin and Sae: Obv they'd have somewhat similar quirks because they're siblings. Frost/ice manipulation. Rin likes to give himself an ice mecha and smash things, Sae prefers to do more supportive and ranged stuff like creating cages and ramps.

Aiku: Controls speed, as long as someone's visible and in a certain range, he can greatly slow their physical movements.

Sendou: Just because of his name, some kind of sniper thing.

Barou: Shapeshifting. Turns into a lion or dragon most often.

Ness: Similar to La Brava, can boost the stats of whoever he focuses on based on how much he cares about them. Unsurprisingly, he uses it on Kaiser the most.

Kaiser: Telekenisis. Can use this to fly. This bitch took me even longer than Isagi's to figure out i hate him.

Grim: I know no one cares about this guy but he isn's bad looking in the latest chapter, which is why I'm including him. Quotes Shakespeare or similar and gains power based on the lines.

Noa: Space distortion. Uses it to dizzy and confuse his enemies and protect his allies.

Snuffy: Some overlooking thing. Can project his vision to a bird's eye view and still control himself. Maybe can also get information about a person's quirk the more he's in proximity or physical contact to them?

Lorenzo: Dies temporarily and can project his soul out of his body in a ghosty form. The time he spends in ghosty mode is related to the time he spends dead but he can't die for too long since he's like. Actually dead and he's going to permanantly pass away if he tries too long.

Loki: Healer, but can store and re-inflict a portion of the damage he negates onto his enemies. There's a limit to how long and how much he can store and heal.

Prince: The usual "classic" superpowers: flight, superstrength, and increased physical toughness. Wears spandex like Superman.

Lavinho: Special joints and mucles that give him a lot more cushioning and rapid, explosive directional and speed changes.

Ego: The worse his health is, the higher his IQ. Instant ramen galore.

Anri: Some kind of extremely complex data analysis, maybe she can somehow connect her literal brain to computers and draw conclusions, make inferences, etc that combine computer and human functions. Cool.

me about halsin’s 10 strength score: well its important to note that all companions default to what the game deems ideal stats for their class when they become playable. its not necessarily accurate to the character themselves. his strength stat before recruiting him is 16.

me about halsin’s 8 intelligence score: dumb dumb dumb big dumb bear of a man i love you so much big dumb stupid man who is so so so wise ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

#its so important to me that halsin is like. he is smart but so stupid do you onow what i mean #bg3 #and i will say his int before recruitment is 12 and its still his lowest stat

Legion Courier lore, I beg of thee… alms for the poor 😔🫴

anon ive been staring at this ask in my inbox for a solid week trying desperately to get my thoughts together about this fuck. ive made 3 drafts. i think i finally got it this time (cracks knuckles) here we go prepare for incomprehensibility (under the cut because im not subjecting everybody to that on the dash)

his name is The Happy Smiler (because i am always so serious about naming my characters) but i just call him Happy for short. i think that his "principles" (if you can call them that. principles used very lightly) are wholly centered around doing anything to survive. in my head i tend to compare him to a scavenger, like a turkey vulture or a coyote, and i think thats pretty accurate. he will do most ANYTHING to survive and in this particular case that "anything" is siding with the legion. the wastelands capitol-f Fucked and the legion at least has a tighter grip on their territory than the ncr does.

he also partially sides with the legion because he thinks it might be interesting and even a little fun, in its own fucked up and evil way. he wants some spice in his life.

hes not the smartest cookie in the jar but that doesnt mean hes an idiot. hes got enough brains in him to know when hes being used but he doesnt really... gaf. as long as hes in a decent place it doesnt matter how everybody else is feelin. he mostly views people as like... "how will this person be of use to me" maybe hes got some form of undiagnosed psychopathy, i dont know. dont quote me on that

hes an eeeextremely stealth trans man (because the majority of the wasteland doesnt fw transgenderism) and hes so stealth that sometimes even HE forgets that hes trans. he did his own top surgery and by god is it fucked up. related: hes addicted to buffout because i imagine its like... fucked up wasteland testosterone

back to my vulture comparisons; yup, hes a cannibal. hes not one to let perfectly good delicious food go to waste and people are no exception. hes aware that it probably isnt the best for his image to be eating people, but, to reiterate: he does not care.

despite his low charisma hes good at bullshitting his way out of things because of how good of a poker face (by lady gaga) hes got. more on his stats: hes got low perception and intelligence too, but he makes up for it with high agility, endurance, and strength. i think that he... could be smarter. but getting shot in the head jumbled his brain up and fucked him up sizeably. the whole getting shot fiasco also probably added to his irritability and lack of empathy thing. anyway thats it for my stream of consciousness thanks for listening to me jabber on, to the 5 people who will read this

tldr; this guys fucked up! damn!

also here are some stupid shits...

#fallout new vegas #fnv #courier 6 #hmm... still need oc tag #ill just do the tried and true #oc: happy #symphonart #<technically.#ask

“Creepy innit” Hobie chuckles as he reads the screen as well “s’not even accurate”

“Seems it” you say distracted as your mind continues to process the information they have stored on you

“Nah” Hobie says as he points at one part of the screen “says one sided friendship here”

“Yeah, and?” You say as you look at him with a raised brow

“S’not true, is it” Hobie says with a nonchalant shrug

“Actually, it pretty much sums us up pretty well” you say deadpan

“Nah, you love me really” he says as he swings an arm around your shoulders

“Sure” you say with an exhausted sigh as you brush his hands away from your shoulders before closing the screen and exiting Miguel’s office

“Where you off to?” Hobie calls after you but you don’t even turn around and you continue to walk in the opposite direction

“I’m gonna smash the camera in the housing units kitchen and the one in front of my door” you shout back “so he can’t spy on me and get any more information on me”

Hobie just shrugs as he puts his hands in his jacket pockets and nonchalantly strolls in the direction you went. You could smash all the cameras you want, it wouldn’t make a difference

Not unless you found the ones they hid in your bedroom.

The Lord of The Underworld And His Lady of Spring Part 6

Next in the HPHM x Twisted Wonderland AU, it is time for the testing, as both groups of the boys go through it, Idia, along with Helena and Ortho go through the data to look for interesting results

“Test One complete.” Ortho confirmed, “Subjects are cooling down within the simulation.”

“All vital signs for the three subjects are normal.” An employee, Moor Eiriniko, of Helena recalled his name right, reported. “And blot accumulation is within standard range.”

“There are the numbers I expected as well.” Idia observed, “Time to see if they differ with the next test.”

“Simulator has been synced with the Lachesis System.” Another employee, this time, Etern Skotadi, was the one to talk, “We are set for the second test.”

Idia nodded firmly, “Take it away Ortho.”

“Roger!” Ortho obeyed, “Virtual enemy mode standby. Commencing dive!”

~~~

“Test two complete.” Ortho reported, “Subjects are cooling down in the sim.”

“Vital signs remain normal.” Moor typed on a tablet as he talked, “Yet there has been an increase in blot accumulation.”

Etern looked at the system and made modifications, “Lachesis System desynchronizing. Down to five percent… four, three, two… desync complete.”

“Simulator cooldown has finished.” Ortho’s voice sounded, “Subjects are being transported to the recovery room.”

“Excellent.” Idia breathed a sigh of relief, “When you are done with that, prepare Subjects B and D for their testing.”

“Roger.” Ortho’s holographic figure nodded before disappearing.

“Now let’s read the stats for these famed housewardens.” Idia grinned as he went over to a large screen.

“The difference in their blot accumulation rates is fascinating.” Helena observed, walking up to Idia to stand beside him.

“Totally.” Idia smiled at her and then looked at the screen, “Let’s look at Riddle first. He busts out spells like he is in hyperdrive. And his magic pool is way beyond other mages his age. Likely had training in magic at a young age. Like a sports pro who practiced their whole lives since they could walk. It’s the only way he could wield such numbers. If you ask me, his strength is more from hard work than from innate talent.”

Helena hummed, “He also has a tendency to elevate his output and brute force his magic during moments of indecision.”

“Whiles it is inefficient.” Idia admitted,

“he had the power to back him up”

“And his mental state is impacted by external factors rather than internal ones.” Helena pointed out, “If my memory serves him right, he had quite the controlling mother watching over him, a skill mage doctor in the Queendom of Roses.”

“Despite everything though.” Idia starred at the screen, “Its safe to say he has a strong offense but a paper thin defense. Being quite fragile physically and mentally when he isn’t in control of his surroundings.”

“Yet compare that to Azul,” Helena observed, looking at his results. “Despite his slow speed at casting, he is precise and deadly accurate with his spells.”

“He served as a support for Riddle’s brash actions!” Idia declared. “On one hand he is calm and efficient, on the other you could say he is cowardly for hiding behind the magical gifts of others.”

“Or it just means he can be suited as a healer.” Helena shrugged playfully.

“Perhaps he is careful because he has a small magic pool.” Idia theorized, “like he is banking up on his quick thinking to make up for his little reserves or something. It’s not like he can use his signature spell willy nilly.”

“Making him the opposite of Riddle.” Helena observed, “Then there is the case of Vil, who is unique in his own right.”

“Oh boy talk about STABLE.” Idia exclaimed. “All of his numbers are remarkably high and he hardly breaks a sweat. His lack of sharp performance strikes may be one thing, but he is solid in both offense and defense. And I am pretty sure Vil didn’t get any specialized training prior to his enrollment.”

“His physical and mental resilience is rather impressive.” Helena observed.

“He would make a perfect tank!” Idia declared with confidence. “Vil’s signature spell is a long duration debuff curse… and since he’s got a big magic pool, it is a long lasting one, that’s huge. I would hate having to fight these guys, but oh man they’d be a blast to play if they were in an RPG!”

~~~

“That was quick.” Idia exclaimed with wide eyes, “They figured out how the system worked immediately.”

“Well Leona is the type of guy who knows when he is dreaming.” Helena reminded him.

Idia sighed, “Where’s the fun in that? And Jamil’s stress levels barely moved to. How did these guys overblot? Vil as well for that matter.”

“Simulator cooldown complete.” Ortho reported as astern worked on desyncing the system, “Transferring subjects to the recovery room.”

“Testing sequence completed at 2245” Moor took note of.

“Good, good.” Idia muttered then looked at the two employees, “You two are free to go once the data is backed up.”

“Roger.” The two men nodded.

Ortho suddenly entered the room, “All subjects are in the recovery room Idia. They’re fast asleep.”

Helena laughed, “When is Leona not asleep? Not surprising at all.”

“Nice job Ortho.” Idia spoke calmly

“You to Idia!” Ortho cheered happily, “What do the results look like for Leona Kingscholar and Jamil Viper?”

Helena gasped as Idia put the data on the monitor, “Their numbers are exceptional!”

Idia started with looking at Leona’s data, “Spoiled or not, Leona is still royalty. Totally makes sense that he would have top notch magic instruction as a kid. His casting speed is off the charts and his magic pool is huge and he is quite efficient which helps with minimizing blot accumulation.” Idia sighed, “But I already knew Leona was tough and could handle whatever danger is thrown at him. And it’s hard to measure resilience when it comes to inner turmoil.”

“He does seem to commonly exhibit a great mental fortitude.” Ortho agreed. “And a drastic change could lead to an increase in blot accumulation.”

“Stat-wise he would be a great tank like Vil.” Idia continued. “But given his personality, he isn’t best suited for a leader. Now that I mention it, their personalities don’t seem to match with their ideal class.”

“What class do you believe Jamil would be?” Helena pondered.

“He’s tricky.” Idia admitted with a shrug, “He could fit just about anywhere TBH. But he tends to go for efficiency over speed, just like Azul. Looking at his background… he had no training before arriving at Night Raven College. Yet where he differs is how he is really quick and precise with defensive magic. Perhaps it’s his natural state given how he guards Kalim.

“So perhaps a Melee to defend a tank or a healer?” Ortho proposed.

“Something like that.” Idia nodded. “Just imagine it, Night Raven Quest, the RPG, now that’s a game I’d play even more given these additional stats.”

“You should totally make it Idia!” Ortho energetically requested, “It would be a blast! And it could be open world!”

“Development costs would be too much for open world for such a ridiculous concept.” Idia pointed out. “Besides development for a joke concept like this would be a pain and waste of my time.”

“Say Idia.” A lightbulb seemed to light up for Ortho, “Why don’t you invite the Housewardens to play with you and Muscle Red?”

“What!? No!” Idia was simply horrified, “Where did you get that idea!? None of these guys are interested in gaming! They are complete normies! And besides, we are going to send them to the River Lethe before they return to Night Raven College. They will forget everything, and possibly us as well.”Glancing briefly over at Helena and her Pomegranate lenses that his parents insisted on if their detail instructions before their departure, before finally turning his gaze to Ortho, “There is no use with making friends with them…”

Fic Writers Showcase Game

@there-must-be-a-lock tagged me!

Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason.

First fic published on Ao3: That would be The Other Side of the Mirror, an Earth-3 continuity mess with a JayDick main pair, featuring Roy as a 3rd PoV. First chapter was posted in September, 2014, currently 200k, 20 chapters , and as of yet unfinished, though I think as it stands it ends on a decently hopeful note. I do still recall the main plot points of where it goes, and would like to finish it someday.

Last fic published: I posted the first chapter of Five Finger Discount just yesterday, which is the 5th piece in my Worth Counting series, an alpha!Slade/alpha!Jason series exploring a variety of kinks but with a focus on non-formal dom/sub vibes, competence/strength kink, and mostly-play fighting. (The last finished story was Shifting Into Fourth which is the 4th piece of that same series, so, I'm a little bit on a theme here.)

Fandom/ship I only wrote once: I uh. I wrote Hamilton/Jefferson/Madison room-where-it-happens porn. For the Hamilton musical. It's called Do Whatever It Takes and I think it is still the thing that makes me feel the most sinfully dirty of all the things I've ever written. So there's that.

I also have Let's Be Clear, which is my only fic set anywhere in the MCU, and is a Daredevil oneshot of an asexual!Wesley being invited to join a Fisk/Vanessa relationship, as I vibed real hard with Wesley as a character and never really got over his unfortunate demise.

(Honorable mention to my four stories that are technically fandoms of their own, but all fall under the 'DCU' umbrella, being for the Arkham games, two shows in the CW Arrowverse, and the Teen Titans cartoon.)

Favorite fic in most popular fandom/ship: This is a little hard to quantify. Technically 'DCU (Comics)' comes in at 93k in stories, which would make JayDick the most popular pairing, which makes my favorite story Captain's Privileges. It's a Star Trek mirror!verse fusion with Captain!Dick and Engineer!Jason and so many unhealthy relationships everywhere, and I love it.

However! 'DCU (Comics)' is a very broad umbrella and it's not really fair to say it's my biggest fandom, since the slice I belong to is much smaller. Which means the more accurate winner is Voltron, at 85k stories. I technically have a Klance story but given that it is a big poly clusterfuck dark!fic I really have to actually give this to the second most popular pairing by stat, Sheith. Out of those, I think my favorite is I'm Not That Man, which was an early false-memories/brainwashed!Shiro fic set just before the wormhole split them all up.

Fic I wish more people read: An Extra Shot, hands down. Come read my gen, Wilson-family-focused exploration of what happens if Adeline dies during the attack on Joey! Come read Slade Wilson being forced into confronting the fact that he is a terrible dad and also now a widowed dad of three kids! Come read Billy trying his best to bludgeon all the terrible communicators of this family into actually working things out! READ THIS. THERE'S A SEQUEL IN PROGRESS. IT'S GOOD I SWEAR.

Fic that was hardest to write: I think the award for this has to go to Me, Not Her, a CaptainPan/CaptainSwan piece which I was apparently so frustrated with at some point that I straight up deleted the file. Four years later (no I am not kidding) I had the vague memory of it. Some sketchy thing I could maybe expand, now that I was having thoughts about OUaT again. I pull it out of the (then eternal) trash of Google Drive. It is five thousand words long and needs no more than pretty basic editing and a little padding at the end to round it off. I don't know what the hell was happening with me when I deleted it, but wow, lesson learned.

Fic that popped out fully-formed: I don't recall any that were explicitly like this, but I also don't tend to write like, neat little packaged stories all that often. If I'm writing oneshots they're usually for events. So my best answer to this is probably Fucking Androids? It's a Reed900 relationship origin story that blazed its way out of me during NaNoWriMo one year, named entirely for the sex pun and then in the end absolutely refusing to have any sex in it, so it won that fight. I remember at least most of it coming really, really easy.

Fic I'm proud of: Pulling out a weird little one, here. I'm going to say Take a Ride. It's a JayDick, Gotham City Garage story that I wrote for Firefright's birthday one year, and on reread I actually still really, really like it? It's just a neat apocalyptic-desert vibe relationship building thing, set in the criminally under-explored and rushed GCG world, and I really like how I put Dick together in this one. I recommend it.

Not tagging anyone specific, but if anyone would like to do this as well, feel free!

pspsps since ur like the no 1 contester for accurate sonic lore. How strong do u think amy is, especially her hammer. do u think she’s as strong as knuckles (considering how heavy the hammer is) or she’s avg (or as much someone can be when in sonic’s group)?

(sonic forces speed battle)

(mario & sonic at the oympic games (various))

(sonic battle)

OKAY. if we go based on stats alone im inclined to say knuckles is stronger and by quite a bit. amy is no doubt a powerhouse espeically since she has her hammer, which means she has both the strength to wield it and can be a heavy hitter because of it. however i don’t think she’ll be winning an arm wrestling competition with knuckles any time soon.

amy’s usually characterized as a speed type (like sonic heroes), but she’ll fit just about any role she needs to in a team (sort of like her personality! she’s very adaptable). the olympic games classify her as an all round type, meaning she’s a jack of all trades. she won’t be able to out pace sonic, or arm wrestle knuckles, of out-technique tails, but she can out pace knuckles, arm wrestle tails, and potentially out-technique sonic. so i think amy is probably slightly above average when it comes to most of her skills (and arguably much stronger than average compared to her friends), but knuckles is always classified as a power type, so i think it’s safe to say knuckles is physically stronger than her.

that said, would knuckles win in a fight against her? that’s not quite so clear cut.

#interesting question!#master emerald brothel #i do think it depends on what they were fighting over and the environment #knuckles would have the advantage in a rural area (digging) but amy would have the advance in a city #she would beat him in a race #and i think she might have the stamina to wear him out #anyway. hmmmmm

Leigh plays Tellius prt 10

It's time to lay siege on Daein Keep!

Also, I love how quickly these racist Daein men change their tune as soon as they have a dragon on their side. Keep in mind, they believe the entire reason they went to war with Crimea was to apply sanctions for the Crimean nobility creating an alliance with a "sub-human" nation. But it's okay as long as the laguz is on their side, right? I love how this game isn't afraid to show just how hypocritical people can be.

Ena was super brave for this, imo. She couldn't be certain that they wouldn't all turn on her the second they realized that she was a laguz. I really love her character.

Damn, I always forget how OP Mist is once you give her a sonic sword. It's too bad there aren't swords that do magic damage in RD, or else Mist would have swept the floor with everyone.

It was here that I had my first perfect level-up! Oscar, my man, you never disappoint. He continues to be at or above average for all of his stats, except for strength. Gosh, I love this guy. I mean, I'd love him no matter what, but the fact that he's succeeding so hard is a wonderful bonus.

I kind of hate the implication that Tauroneo assumes that Mist cannot learn or pass down Gawain's style of swordsmanship. Not only is it sexist, Mist can use a sword!

But whatever. I have Tauroneo now I guess.

In any case, this map was smooth sailing. I swiped all the treasures, and wiped out all of the enemies without issue.

I did intend to draw out the Ena fight to get as much exp as possible, but Ike decided to Aether her TWICE in the first round. So that was a touch disappointing.

Here we go with Ashnard's core philosophy again. I do kind of find it ironic that, according to how the game works, Ashnard is 100% accurate. If I want to win the game, I need to get my characters exp, which comes from fighting enemies. And if I leave a unit on the bench too many times, they will fall behind, because the enemies we face get a little stronger on every map.

That being said, I still want an essay on Ashnard's world philosophy, how it relates to certain philosophies in our world, and the way the story handles it.

I love how absolutely petrified (heh) Petrine is in this scene. In every scene before this one, Petrine is a villain with the utmost confidence in herself. But in this scene, Petrine is so intimidated by Ashnard that she can barely speak. It's interesting to see a different side of her.

Yes, Ashnard is irredeemably evil. I do appreciate his sass, though. This line always gets a hearty chuckle from me.

Zelgius!!! Honestly, I could barely take this scene seriously, because I kept remembering the ongoing bit in Jello's PoR stream where Ike has a huge crush on Zelgius. For all Tellius fans, this is a must-watch.

Titania continues to be tired of Soren being a sourpuss all the time. I love Soren with all my heart, but I do imagine his constant cynicism can get annoying, especially in such a tense atmosphere.

That being said, Soren is right as usual. Really, Soren's main role in this game is to speak the truth that no one else wants to hear. And luckily, Ike actually appreciates Soren for it.

Like, sure, a lot of what Soren says is harsh, sometimes even cruel. But it all comes from a place of him wanting to protect others.

Aaaand, that's the siege on Daein Keep!

Next time, I get to play some tetris with some knights and finally, finally, FINALLY recruit Ranulf.
