[up][up] So you'll be bringing in a Mary Sue that is (hopefully) different in that perspectives on her change based on if she's around or not?

Alex isn't that weak-minded. Unfortunately for Rob...

EDIT: AJB posted, but it got eated by teh page wrap, so check it out.

[up][up][up] Funny thing is that my Yorihime in this RP is flawed version of her canon self, a mary sue. My version is a counter of my distaste with one Touhou manga in paticular, Silent Sinner in Blue.

The idea is that she's an intentional Mary Sue (called Mary Sue) who was created in the same way as The Four Lords, and thus has the same strengths, weaknesses and basic characteristics.

  • Like each of them, she possesses a 'weapon' that serves as both a tool and is tied to their very existence. For Sholryk it's his sword, for Lankolyk it's her book, for Zanjuyn it's his guitar and for Tyki it's her Simple Staff. For Mary Sue, this takes the form of a heart-shaped pendant around her neck: if it were destroyed, it would seriously mess up her day.
  • Each of the other four has an attribute that they can generate and control. They're fire, shadow, light & ice, respectively. Mary Sue, however, has heart. This causes people's perceptions of her to improve and alter when she's nearby, as well as to 'hack' into other people's abilities temporarily. Basically, in a direct fight against several foes she'll probably lose, but she can be quite subtle...
  • Like the others, a powerful psychological/psychic attack can easily cripple her.

So within reason, Zane burning copper could probably at the very least dampen her ability to affect his mind, but his use of emotional allomancy at the very least will count possibly as a psychic attack? Especially when boosted with duralumin...

Need any more details?

Alex is a super-soldier with a rage implant.

Soap and Price have survived death so many times it's not funny.

Roach and Rob... yeah, sucks to be them.

Bear in mind, she's still quite pretty & has a nice voice under normal circumstances, if a bit ditzy & incompetant at anythign practical, but most of the time she comes across as harmless, maybe even genuinely nice. That's the point.

It's only if you're careful & clever that you begin to suspect something might be wrong.

As for Zane, he sounds like he'd be more than a match for her. Assuming, of course, that he found out she was dangerous.

Eve would fall for nothing there, she is the highest ranking solider in the entire alliance, she holds more authority then an admiral, with cybernetics, and neural implants. as for a match, the TRG-2 says hi.

Hakurei Miko is a martial arts master who absurdly powerful with super strengh, danmaku, and a terrible sense of humor.

Other Reimu is a danmaku spammer and she can be intangible to reality if you piss her off and I mean, really piss her off up to Khorne levels

Longram's may be no powerhouse but his energy weaponry can melt anything into goo or incinerate them into ash.

NOIR-01 can make technology his bitch, even Death Stars.

As for Yorihime, she's a skilled swordswoman who can use danmaku. She can summon gods...if she's on Earth's moon.

In short: Go ahead, send the Mary Sue in. She better be impossibly good at making people like her, otherwise she won't last long.

Like I said. Direct fight = she loses.

I'm wondering, are most of the group's minds strong enough to resist? The influence is subtle: over time, even powerful minds get worn down and start to show a measure of obsession & servitude towards her.

NEURAL IMPLANTS, her brain has a lot of electronic bits. and you don't get her kind of rank for letting people get to you.

Okay then, sounds good. Some people become pawns (including Zanjuyn, myes... let's be honest though, that's kind of an obvious one ^_^"), others don't and fight it. And then they teach the Citadel a lesson from the school of hard knocks.

I don't really see Casey falling for this Mary Sue. Same goes for any other character I may bring in, in all likelihood at least. Speaking of which, Casey is a giant, and thus plainly really strong. She's also a Magical Girl of some kind and her powers in that form will likely include flight and some sort of long range attack.

Ohohoho, it'd be interesting to show her effects on his mind vs. Ruin's. Especially when devotion to her might lead to not ruining. Which Ruin wouldn't like, as he has subtle influences upon Zane's mind as well.

The Mary Sue I was talking about earlier: she's called Mary Sue. I'm currently playing Lankolyk... just making sure people know that.

Anyhow, uh, got to find a Mary Sue avatar...

Also, as a note, I recently found out there's one type of metal unaffected by Allomancy. When burned, it takes away all the metal stores in a person's body. Apparently, it also cannot be Pushed or Pulled on. Therefore, someone using aluminum bullets can use them to kill Allomancers. Provided they don't dodge the bullets with atium, that is. But that's another can of worms.

thought you guys would be interested in hearing about a weakness, so if something's aluminum, tell me so I can take it into account.

What is the aloymancer ability with nickle?

Also all Terran combat armor is space age metal alloy with ceramic mixed in for good mesure, if that messes up powers since it is not all metal.

There's no magical ability with nickle, but it can be pushed/pulled on like most other metals.

And it seems like there's enough metal in there to be pushed/pulled on. And FYI, when I say burned, I mean swallowed/used within own body.

Well, since powers are apparently the thing to talk about here right now, I am sorta considering bringing in an OC of mine from WAOA, Isabella. She can basically do just about anything thanks to her magic. Anything that isn't absurdly broken at least, like instant death or freezing living things in time... not working on living things is probably a limitation I'll apply to a lot of things that would be too broken otherwise. The downsides are that she's very much a Squishy Wizard, and is just plain horrible at taking any hit that isn't magical in nature. The second one is that Anti-Magic not only nullifies everything she can do, but saps her energy and makes it difficult to even stand. I'm not sure if I'm going to bring her in, or stay long enough to, and I'm sure the idea needs some tweaking. Figured I might as well leave this here, though, in case I do use her.

#49: Jul 16th 2011 at 2:26:18 PM

Were talking powers?

Eve has none, well she can go bullet time, but her sole power is sheer combat skill, highest ranking solider in the Terran Dfennce force, single handedly destroyed an attack group of battleships, and I am not meaning with a ground based defense, or another ship... I mean her and her rifle VS them.

I have a sidequest in the works that posted on the WAOA discussion, an optional treasure hunt in a dangerous world based Fallout New Vegas' two DL Cs (Dead Money and Old World Blues) and Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

The world in question is a castle/prison/laboratory in a middle of a Victorian era-like city which is crawling with Witch's Familiars resembling Ghost People. Despite the Victorian setting, it's very advanced in Magitek.
