BrokenPromise

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

I'm enjoying ff 14. Playing through the Storm Blood expansion right now. I really like the story for Heavensward, but I have a hard time recommending it to friends because the base game (A realm reborn) is so bad. It's like eating vegetables before moving onto desert, only instead of vegetables, it's a mess of a story where 90% of it feels like mandatory side quests and doesn't really matter. Fortunately the dungeons and everything else is pretty good.

Speaking as someone who's played very few MMOs.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

@Majoras End@Mateotis@FamishedPants You came 95% of the way, I decided to take us the other 5% as a reward.

I'm pretty sure that would have been broken down into 10 smaller puzzles in a real Danganronpa game, but I did warn you guys that this case was a little rough around the edges.

Alibis are coming soon, But here's something else to ponder (solve?) while you are waiting for them.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

"No, string right." Denis had been quiet up until now, But he seemed to be energized by the discovery. "Killer use invisible string!"

Max turned to look at him. "Hmmm? What do you mean by invisible string?"

"Kind you fish with!" He pretended to cast a rod out towards the center of the courtroom. "Hard to see string. Fool fishes. Fool Daimyon and Emily."

Lucy leaned against her podium with her elbows. "Yea! That would be really hard to notice. It's not like the lighting is even that great."

"Then it's settled." Cyrus looked at everyone. "Emily is no longer the sole suspect in this case. The killer could have entered Jezebel's room well before Emily and even Daimyon got there."

Ice folded his arms. "Well it doesn't mean it's not her!"

Cyrus only sighed in response. "That is true, but knowing everyone's ali-"

"Wait." Max stood up.

The politician looked more and more tired with everyone who spoke. "Yes, Max?"

"I don't understand the crime scene at all!" He threw out his arms. "Does no one find it extremely suspicious that there was a candle lit dinner set up, with a knife taped under the table?"

Jezebel raised her hand. "Yea, Like, I can explain that." Even with the makeup on, the bags under Jezebel's eyes were visible. "So like, I was going to surprise Zachary with a dinner and junk. And like, I thought it would be funny to stab him with a prop blade at some point." A grin crossed her face as the truth came out. "But like, that wouldn't have been too tasteful looking back at it."

Max closed his eyes. "It wasn't." He opened his eyes again. "And I take it you have no idea why Faith and you swapped clothes?"

"Like, I wasn't really awake when it happened."

Max gave the Jester a sideways glance. "Just making sure it wasn't something you two planned in advance."

"We weren't exactly on speaking terms."

"That is really weird though." Lucy held her chin. "It doesn't really make sense for the killer to swap their clothes. Unless..." She looked at monokuma. "Hey, that mono snooze stuff. How does it work?"

"My patented MONO-SNOOZE medicine puts everyone who eats it into a deep sleep for a few hours." the bear chuckled. "You don't always wake up feeling refreshed, but you do wake up! Well, unless you get strangled first. But it doesn't matter how much you have. Everyone falls asleep and wakes up at about the same time. Even things like your weight don't really matter."

"Then I don't see why the killer switched their clothes." Lucy groaned. "Why even bring Faith into this? I'm just saying, they had access to Jezebel. Do we even know how they got Faith in there?"

Discord and role-playing, a good idea or a no-no?

Site rules are here.

I prefer writing and reading longer posts, and the 2k character limit on discord is kind of annoying as someone who regularly drops 10K+ posts. But some people enjoy the rapid fire nature of discord for RPing, and more power to them. largely depends on your group and what you want.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

@Majoras End@Mateotis@FamishedPants

Seems I made this one a bit harder than I intended, so here's a few hints. They get gradually stronger, and I'd rather you only look if you're super stumped.

Barely a hint

For the moment, ignore the possibility of Emily using Jez's handbook to open the door. The goal here is to fine an alternate way the door could have been opened.

Tiny hint

The tape on the bottom of the door was intended to hold something. It's up to you to find out what that is.

Medium sized hint

If the killer knocked out Jez, they probably had her handbook for a time. Could they have set something up from inside her room?

YET ANOTHER Medium sized hint

Locked or not, the door can always be opened from the inside. If what Emily says is true, there was nobody inside the room aside from an unconscious Jez. Whatever was taped to the bottom of the door helped the killer access the room from the outside.

Pretty big hint, practically gives it away NGL

What was the murder weapon?

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

Bliss lifted a finger to her lip. "Well, It might fit, but..." She raised her eyebrow. "How would that be used to open the door?"

Earnings this post: Zilch

Total: 6 Gold, 111 Silver, 120 Bronze

The vacation was nice, the arrival of the Ascendancy was not.

It was within Mac’s power to end the vacation before the Ascendancy got here, but it was not what her patron wanted. Though with everything going on, it was probably less a question of “if” and more “when” they were going to arrive. Alicia had proven sympathetic to monsters in the past, but she was also willing to drag out a harmless grudge match because someone dared to impersonate one of the least likable beacon girls in existence. That would be former monster queen Regina Bates. Perhaps having such shortcomings was par for the course when you were a “warrior of light.” She should probably just be fortunate that Alicia wasn’t a total zealot.

Beacon’s pettiness aside, she would have her chance to fight the ascendancy relatively soon. She wandered off to where th fighting would soon take place.

”Where ya at, Sammy?”

— Nuncio

If someone cared to look in front of Brittany’s shop, they would see a young man pushing through the snow. The wind kicked up his trench coat as if it were a cape, exposing his white button down shirt and suspenders. He kept a hand on his coat, and another on his black fedora. Back in 1910, He looked like a well to do business man from the 1910s, if not a mobster. An odd thing for a boy to be wearing in this day and age, but at least the coat was warm.

”Sammy, I’m gunna smack some sense into ya when ya turn up.”

Nuncio was no detective, but he knew Sammy well. Certainly, he knew that she was not so absent minded enough to leave the city searching for clues. Nor was she the type to get jumped by your average group of monsters. Yet since his return he was unable to find her anywhere. That was where Brittany came in. He pushed open the door and stepped inside, causing a cute little bell to ring on top of the door. Even though he was worried, even though he was nervous, he forced a smile. ”If it ain’t my second favorite dame!”

_{Played by Ari}

‘I’m gunna get rich off this chump!’

— Brittany, (probably)

Brittany was behind the counter, cleaning a pendant with a handkerchief before she waved a greeting. ‘Hi there, and welcome to-Second favorite?’ Her eyes sparkled, her mouth wide in amazement. ’I’m already your second favorite, Nuncio? I haven’t even shown you all my wares yet.’’ She climbed up on a stool, and put her hands on the counter.

”Heh, not like I’ve been in the area long myself.” Nuncio took off his hat and held it in front of his chest. The snow on his hair was already melting. ”Saw ya message! Ya opening for real now, that’s good!”

‘Yep yep, Brittany’s Boutique is all revved up and ready to go!’ She lifted a broom in the air. ‘It’s times like these when people need weapons and artifacts most, you know? Gotta strike the anvil while the iron’s hot! So, did you bring more products?’ She asked with barely contained excitement. ‘Those plushies have sold much better than I thought they would!’

He looked to the plushies at one side of her counter. ”I uh…” He folded his arms. ”I ain’t here to peddle anythin’ this time. I need ya help.” His face became stern while he spoke. ”You can divine the location of stuff, can’t ya?”

She then blinked and smiled in surprise. ‘Oh, you want me to help you?’ She leaned against the table with a mysterious smile. ‘That is in my repertoire of expertise, yes. But it depends on what you’re looking for...And the price you’re willing to pay, heh~’

”It’s Sammy. She ain’t in any of her usual places.” He placed his hat on the counter and ran his hand through his coat. ”As for cost, whatever it takes, ya know I’m good for it. If I can’t pay it all up front, I’ll pay for it with the next few dolls I make. If they sell, that should be good.”

Brittany’s lips curled in thought. ‘Sammy? Oh, you mean that cute little detective? She’s funny. But now she’s gone, huh?’ Brittany put a hand to her chin. ‘Okay, bring me another set of plushies, and I’ll work on finding your friend. After all, you’re a valuable business partner to me,’ she then said with a smile.

”Wa?” Nuncio was taken aback by the tiny girl’s cutthroat business practices. ”Brittany, We just got back from that vacation place. Ya not gunna tell me ya expectin’ more dolls so soon?” He leaned across the counter with both hands. ”Penrose is a frozen hell, and my angel is no place in sight! This is an emergency!” When Nuncio’s hand came flying out of his coat, it dropped three gold coins, five silvers, and three bronze on the table. The two Dan plushies also fell onto the table. With a sigh, he picked up one of them. ”This one’s for her..” He tucked it back into his coat. ”When I get her back.”

Brittany pouted, only to blink as she saw the coins. ‘Well, this is ample compensation.’ She took the coins, and placed the other Dan plushie on the shelf.
‘Alright, I’m gonna find Sammy. Any clue where she had been last?’

”Haven’t seen her since I got back” Nuncio took a deep breath. ”She was crashin’ at my place. She should have been there every night. I got no idea what day she vanished. Some folks at the pit stop said they saw her a day or so ago, otherwise I got no leads. ”

‘The Pit Stop, eh? Well, it’s as good a place to start as anywhere. Don’t worry, I have a knack for lost treasure hunting. And Sammy’s so precious she might as well be treasure too!’

”Thanks doll.” Nuncio sighed. He probably over payed for whatever type of sorcery Brittany was going to employ, but at least the extra coin ensured she would make it a priority. He was going to leave, but this was his first time in the store as a customer instead of a supplier. He didn’t have any money left, but it didn’t hurt to look at things.

”Back to Business!”

— Tetrad

The bar was dimly lit. Only the neon signs lining the walls provided any sort of light. It was enough to illuminate Tetrad, who sitting on an old leather couch. The large buns on her head made her look like Mickey mouse from behind, but only if you didn’t look at the rest of her body. She had a petite shape hugged in a black and white corset. Her legs were clad in black netting, Which ended in black leather boots that came up to her thighs. Her arms were stretched out along the back of the couch. They were wrapped in bandages that covered old injuries. Her finger-less gloves had cuff-links, and neither one matched. There were also all manner of tool belts and harnesses draped across her outfit. If special forces ever decided to train casino girls for combat, they might look something like Tetrad.

She had not actually returned to Penrose. The genie twins had returned Tetrad to her international home, which was this bar she was sitting in. She had gone into Penrose since then, but the gambler returned here to decide her next course of action. Veronica had requested that all agents remain on standby. Tetrad’s boss was getting in contact with the agents that remained in Penrose to figure out what else was going on. was going on. Aside from the presence of Beacon special forces.

In Tetrad’s opinion, the arrival of the Beacon Ascendancy changed little. Veronica already had a lot of enemies, and Beacon had proven themselves to be incompetent on many occasions. If the Ascendancy was as big and bad as everyone said they were, they probably had bigger fish to fry than a few cradle agents. The leader of Crimson Cradle had disappeared for several months. There was the mint, Cindy’s Gang, the outer Penrose alliance, as well as a dozen or so other organizations that were run by horror worshipers and “less than pure” magical girls. It was unlikely they would be hunting them specifically for a while. There was too much going on to worry solely on the appearance of Beacon reinforcements. In fact, she was already tired of thinking about it, she needed something else to do.

The magical girl party on Glimmr sounded good. Parties were right up her ally. But she didn’t know “the place” having been out of Penrose for so long. Furthermore, she wanted to accomplish something. It was clear what she had to do.
Shortly before her unplanned vacation, Tetrad and Emily were on the cusp of discovering a necromancer’s den. She was pretty sure that Emily would be up for continuing that. Tetrad immediately typed up a text message before remembering a new acquaintance she made over the beach vacation, and scrolled down to Amaryllis’s name. Surely she would also be interested in hunting a necromancer. Letting her participate was the least she could do for a fellow Keijo queen. Tetrad punched in an invitation and hit send, only to get a prompt that the message could not be sent because the signal was too weak. That was when Tetrad looked around herself and remembered where she was.

”Right, I should probably go to a dimension with internet service.”

“Everything’s gone to hell, but I like my hair.”

— Su Fang

Su examined herself in a full body mirror. Typically her long brown hair was tied into pigtails, but she decided to change it up after her vacation. Now her hair cascaded over her shoulders, with her bangs reaching her collarbones. The rest tumbled down her back over her Chinese dress. It was a more mature look that suited her well. Not much could be done about her magical girl uniform, but she wondered how she might look in a change of clothes. She would need some time to think about that. There was a lot of things on her mind aside from her appearance.

The first things Su did when she got back was talk to Boteg. The news that Penny no longer served Laat rocked Boteg’s world. His core reason for coming to Penrose many months ago was to pit his champion against that of Laat. It was with Penny’s death that the cowardly dragon would finally get revenge. A chance to spit in the proverbial eye of the one who committed genocide on his race. But it seemed all was for naught. Laat losing his champion like that was not a pleasant thing, But Boteg did not seem satisfied with the outcome. On the upside, there would be no repercussions. But then what would Boteg do? This was something the gold dragon would need to consider.

Boteg tried to tell Su about all that had happened, but she needed to look through the news to get comprehensive answers. Needless to say, there were many unpleasant surprises waiting for Su in Penrose. First was the winter season. Not her favorite type of weather, but worse was the catastrophic events. This was typically the busy season for a hotel, and recent antics inside of Penrose had driven almost everyone away. All that extra business was important to make ends meet, and she knew Boteg wouldn’t keep funding things, especially if Laat’s next champion remained elsewhere. Worse still was the Beacon Ascendancy. Su was a dark magical girl, and Helga was a monster girl. Lupa and the ghost twins were also monster girls that were unlikely to be well received by the Ascendancy. They would need to be dealt with at some point. But that was bound to bring the rest of the beacon girls down on her. She had seen how fiercely loyal Beacon was to its own members. Alicia and Abigail’s behavior over the vacation gave her little reason to think they would remain divided for long. But as frightening as the prospect of fighting them was, She’d sooner die than surrender her family to Beacon. Hopefully that wasn’t a sacrifice she’d needed to make.

But one thing at a time. First Su needed to make sure her family was safe. Mika and Lupa had since departed to play in the snow. Not the best time to do so, but they had told her that they would remain close just in case. For some reason Boteg seemed to be agitated by Mika’s presence, but she chalked that up to him not liking the news about Penny. Helga was still in the hotel, likely doing something in her room. A lot had happened, and she probably needed a moment to process it all. She was sure all the other guests were fine, including the non-magical people that agreed to act as the hotel’s security staff.

Which left the matter of drawing in more guests during such hard times. She would need to invest in advertising in order to keep her guest count up. Specifically targeting magical girls, as there wasn’t likely anyone else that would willingly stay in Penrose. Boteg wouldn’t like it, but these were hard times. Glimmr was becoming an increasingly popular platform for Penrose Magical girls. Su could put an add in there and buy a sponsored spot. She wasn’t the best with computers, but Helga seemed like she’d be good for something like that. Or maybe they could work on it together. Su was sure that with her artistic eye and Helga’s know how they could make something. That was when Su’s phone got a notification from Glimmr about a magic shop that opened up.

“It’s a good excuse to go for a walk.” Su stashed her phone and approached Helga’s room. With a knock she said “Helga. Wamma go for a walk? A magic shop just opened up.” She waited for a response. It was a chance to see how Helga was reajusting to her normal life, as well as talk about that ad idea.

“First Blood.”

— Vermilion Veronica

@EnterTheHero

Kaito would not be shown mercy. He was new to Penrose. He was unaware of how dangerous this city could be, and experience was not a merciful teacher. You are never on the top of the food chain here. Monsters, Magus, but mostly other magical girls. Something out there wants to kill you, steal from you, or capture you and do far worse things. While he prepared to hunt monsters, he himself was being hunted.

His pursuer was careful. Unlike Kaito, these streets were not unfamiliar territory to her. She had walked them all before, new their names by heart. The snow quieted her steps, and the storm made spotting her impossible. Given the circumstances, she might as well have been invisible. It was almost unfair, but unfair was a perfect one word summery for life in Penrose.

She flexed her fingers. This wasn’t even good enough to be considered practice. But that mattered little. She would get what she wanted out of this exchange. Without another thought, she dove into the street below. Her weapons ready. Kaito heard the attack much too late to do anything about it. He’d turn just in time to witness his assailant before they attacked him.

WARNING: Extremely graphic content

“Kidding! It’s just Mika!”

— Mika Sarraf

Fortunately, Kaito’s attacker was not out for blood. Mika dropped down in front of him while encapsulated in a large droplet of water.on impact, the water bubble exploded and splashed him and everything else directly around the girl. Mika probably soaked herself more than anything else in her surroundings. If Kaito bothered to observe Mika (who wouldn't?) he would notice she was dressed like an Arabian dancer. Her red uniform was covered in gilded accessories, and she also had a tail and pointy cat ears.

“Hi hi! I’m Mika!” She said with a friendly wave. “I don’t get to play with boys very often, and not ones with cool legs like that!” In a puff of smoke, Mika’s legs also transformed into that of an avian creature. “They’re animal-tommy correct! A lot of fantasy artists don’t realize the true shape of a bird’s legs, and just cut them of at the knees!” She giggled, without any intention of stopping her rambling. “Also, do you hop or walk? I’m kind of curious because-” Mika’ pupils dilated and her ears flickered. “It’s so cold! The water is so cold!” She extended her arms. “Quick! Huddle with me for warmth!” She hobbled towards Kaito with chattering teeth.

@Majoras End Mate got busy again, and is okay with someone else posting.

Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Wolf Cop

Name: Tonya “Mac” Murphy

Age (Magical Girl): 11 years of experience.

Age (Before Magical Girl): 24

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female

Appearance: Overdeveloped, Skimpy

Tonya has the appearance of a tall, slender woman who’s beastly features are hardly contained by her outfit. While she wears a police uniform, it’s been “customized” with accessories to the point where no one would ever suspect she was law enforcement. Though her canine ears and harness lead most to think she’s a fetish model, if not something more depraved.

Specialization: Illusion, Gravity

Illusion magic is what Tonya makes the most use of. Like other illusionary masters, she can simulate virtually every sense one can use. Visual, sounds, balance, and proprioception are all things that she can play around with. And because she’s particularly gifted with her magic, her illusions are difficult to pick up, even with a third eye power.

Gravity is her second specialization, which can be used to create gravity wells or adjust the weight of objects/people. With some effort, she can make gravity effects that only work on an individual person/thing, but this is taxing and not something she does often. Though as a gifted mage, she is able to create attacks with gravity that can replicate wounds inflicted by other weapons. As an example, she can pull streams of air across one’s flesh to simulate a sword slice or a claw scratch, Or thump someone to create a bruise as if they were punched.

Weapon: Fist

Tonya’s entire body is a weapon, from her metal studded knuckles to her leather boots. Her extensive training with other weapons means that she can improvise just about anything she picks up, but most aren’t able to handle more than a few swings before breaking.

Power: Power of Friendship #1, Regeneration #2 (Gold) Third Eye #2 (Platinum)

Maybe it’s her time as a police officer, maybe it’s something in her magic, but she has no difficulty making friends with people if she so chooses. At the very least, people are always willing to give Tonya the benefit of the doubt, and she can tell if it’s possible to befriend someone, and if so, how to do it.

Perks:

Coercion: While Tonya is already a pretty affable individual, she can influence the thoughts of those who look into her eyes. Attackers might get the urge to free or not attack with such ferocity. This is made more potent by her power of friendship, or if the person she's looking at is less magical than her.

Soul Jar: Tonya has joked in the past that she’s not going to hang up her badge until she’s ready to sleep in a grave. Those words couldn’t be any more true now. She cannot truly die until her badge is destroyed.

Martial Training: Her extensive training with weapons and martial arts were always formidable, moreso now that she is a magical/monster girl.

True Sight: No bad deed can escape the long arm of the law, and if that deed is performed in darkness, smoke, or behind an illusion, Mac will still see it.

Parasite: Tonya can get a bit hungry when she's wounded or low on mana, and nothing satisfies like the hide of some arcane flesh. Monsters, monster girls, a nibble will heal her a bit on the spot. Her regeneration is also twice as strong as normal.

Gifted (Emergency): Mac’s magical specializations are gifted, and explained better in their sections.

Awareness (Emergency): It might be her instincts as a cop, or her beastly nature, but Tonya’s senses are all far more acute. She is almost impossible to surprise or ambush, and will immediately notice if something is out of place.

Overcity Shift(Ruby Coin): Mac can now enter the Overcity at will.

Mystic Artifact (Gifted Item): Mac has been given a small spool of thread, which is capable of telling her about past, present, and future events.

Patron: Moirai, the Greek fate sisters.

Patron Benefits:

Magical Overload:Due to events outside her control, Tonya has come in contact with enough magic to turn her into a monster girl, and now has canine features.

Paragon: In order to ensure their champion’s thread isn’t cut too soon, the Moirai have decided to make her S W O L E.

Blessing: Fate is the great decider of everything, and it decides how much suffering and pleasure a soul may receive before their string is severed. The Moirai have granted Mac the ability to bless someone with a “balance of fortune.” This basically involves funneling the good fortune and power of one individual into another until the two are perfectly balanced. Ending the blessing returns both people to normal.

Gifted Item:Tonya has a spool of thread that lets her know the fate of whoever or whatever she desires. It was spun on the same loom the fates use to determine the fate of man.

Supplier: Any mundane resources Tonya desires are hers. Fate is simply manipulated until the items fall into her hands. Easy.

Patron Drawbacks:

Monstrous Form: Power is good, but it comes at the cost of some mental mutations, inhuman features, and a willingness for Beacon to kill you on sight.

Big Brother: The fates watch everyone, which shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Arrogance: The fates have a lot in store for Tonya, and she might not be up to the task, even if she gets help.

Vendetta: The Moirai wish to challenge the status quo, which involves tipping the scales of balance away from superpowers like Beacon.

Monster Features:

Nonstandard limbs: Tonya got lucky, and just has a pair of wolf ears to indicate her monstrous nature.

Destroyer: Her desire to see the mighty fall isn’t just the will of her patrons. It’s also part of her own dark desires.

Redirected Magic: Mac’s magic is more potent than most, but many would be surprised to find out that she could be even more mystical if her power wasn’t redirected into her physical form.

Second Specialization (Gravity): Better explained in the appropriate section.

Fighting Style: Tonya is the rare type of magical girl that if you’re in a fight with her, you probably don’t even know it. She makes good use of her magical specializations to trick her opponents into moving exactly how she wants, all while remaining disguised or invisible. For the instances where her magic isn’t viable, her physical prowess is well enough that she can hold her own against all but the strongest magical girls.

Stats (Untransformed): These start at 3. CYOA options indicate if they apply out of costume as well.
05 STR: 3+ Martial training (+1) Paragon (+1)
04 AGI: 3+ Paragon (+1)
05 VIT: 3+ Overdeveloped (+1) Paragon (+1)
03 MAG: 3+
03 LCK: 3+

Stats (Transformed): These start at 4.
21 STR: 4+ Illusion (+2) fists (+2) Martial training (+1) Paragon (+1) Redirected Magic (+2) Parasite (+1) Earned coins (+8)
21 AGI: 4+ Skimpy (+1) Paragon (+1) Redirected Magic (+2) Earned coins (+13)
21 VIT: 4+ Overdeveloped (+1) Illusion (+1) Gifted (+1) Paragon (+1) Redirected Magic (+2) True Sight (+1) Earned coins (+10)
20 MAG: 4+ Redirected Magic (-3) Gravity (+4) Gifted (+1) Coercion (+1) Gifted Artifact (+1) Overcity Shift (+1) All silver/bronze coins (+10) Earned coins (+1)
20 LCK: 4+ Illusion (+1) Awareness (+1) Earned coins (+14)

Personality: Mac is pretty laid back as far as magical girls go. She’s playful, but not to the point that it would make anyone feel uncomfortable. She’s mature, difficult (but not impossible) to offend, and has some wit. About as much wit as you would expect from someone who chose to put their life on the line before becoming an immortal monster girl. She’s fairly confident, and doesn’t kowtow to anyone. Least of all her enemies.

While her previous job had her blending in with all kinds of scumbags, she prefers to conduct herself with a certain level of professionalism. She hardly ever swears, and tries not to name call. Unfortunately, magical girls are an eccentric bunch, and she’ll do whatever it takes to break through if communication is important.

History: Emergency

It was the most trivial of emergencies. The end of the world.

Normally a plain jane cop like Tonya could expect herself to get swallowed up by a hole in the earth, had her skeleton extracted by a necromancer, or her brain by a mad scientist. But fate, literally fate, had other plans for her.

It was a case of being at the right place at the right time. She and a few others were suffused in magical energy so that she could delay the inevitable long enough for most to escape. Few of fate’s champions survived, but Tonya did, if only barely.

She was rewarded for her bravery by being placed in another world that’s ready to meet its end. Only this time, she’s been tasked with ensuring such a fate never comes to pass.

Incantation: ”I don’t spin the thread of fate, but I can cut it shorter!”

Additional Info:

-In Ireland, wolves are known as “Mac” which roughly translates to "Son of the Country(side)"

-There are no more wolves in Ireland due to persecution by humans. Or maybe they’re just well hidden?

-roleplayerguild.com/rolls/23116 < Roll

fate

Type: God

Name: The Moirai

Personality: The fate sisters are a trio of sisters who are supposed to manage the fate of man. They don’t really speak much. Nor has anyone really seen them. Anyone who serves the Moirai need only look into their spool to know the will of the gods, which is to bring about the fate they have foretold. They are much too busy writing the fates of every human in existence to bother communicating directly with their champion.

History: Clotho (Spinner), Lachesis (Allotter), and Atropos (Inflexible) do not have a very well known history. There are famous poems about fate, but not so much has been written about the sisters themselves. Perhaps their stories were destroyed along with the library of Alexandria?

What is known about them is that they have a vision for everyone, but they do occasionally mess up. When you have all of humanity to deal with, sometimes a string of fate is made too long, cut too short, or is just…thicker… than it needs to be. Their champions, magical girls, have been frequently employed to fix such issues when they arise.

Resources: The Moirai are sufficiently powerful gods, possibly the most powerful. But their resources are spread thin across various realities.

Their greatest resource is the history of all mortals, happened, happening, and yet to happen. Beyond that, they work closely with other like-minded gods and forces to bring about the weave they desire. And then there’s the fate’s ability to alter fate itself.

Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Their memory is more important than what they were.
