So what's the plan with PCs? Are we sticking with one or two the whole way through or swapping out a la Anime Campaign?

These are all extremely powerful.

Quill could relate to birds, spikes, or a quill pen. Hammer could give you powerful attacks but also let you build things. Quicksand has two meanings that are polar opposites of one another. I don't even have to get into all the stuff you could do with Royal.

But they're all blown out by Superb, which I hope I can use to turn my allies successes into crits so long as I have the stamina for it. I'm gonna have to put some thought into this, find a good picture.

Man, Pastoral. Cepheid and Download. Riot and Dreamy. Ya'll got some that really appeal to me.

We'll stick with our chosen characters. There might come chances for players to act out the parts of less-important NPCs, but their mains will stay their mains throughout.

Sure, here you go.

Cepheid stars pulse regularly, increasing in light and temperature. Bursts of light and heat, flashes, glows, blinding and burning. Maybe a character could leave small pulsing lights floating around. Such stars are also extremely distant, in the reaches of space. That could carry connotations of darkness or emptiness. Since they pulse, maybe they're the sort of twinkling stars people on earth might look up to see and wish upon.

It's just a type of star, but it's a pretty cool one that gets brighter and dimmer regularly. The most esoteric way I can think to use that is you could use that is give off a light that let's people know how far away you are, but mostly what appeals to me is being able to throw around nuclear fire while being very aesthetic.

*edit*

Oh man, it didn't even occur to me that these were the twinkling stars.

You bet.

Part of the reason I'm doing this so early is so that we can bounce ideas off of one another. If you like, I'm sure we could help you out.

@Lugubrious I have a couple ideas

Broker
An epithet that allows the user to "buy" and "sell" other epithets. Essentially, they can temporarily steal another epithet, but the catch is they can only hold one at a time and must return the current epithet to its owner before snagging another. They can also temporarily switch the epithets of other people.

Byway
The user isn't forced to use any of the "main roads" of life. This grants the user the ability to create various types of spacial byways including linked portals that allow travel between them and static portals that go straight through solid objects.

@Dark Light

While I agree that snail powers are top tier, Deviltry covers black magic, wickedness, mischief and deals with the devil.

You're on the right track, with Byway especially, creating shortcuts around and even through obstacles and offering escapes where others would be stuck. Your idea for Broker might be a bit overstated, especially since buying and selling involves trade and not just giving or taking. Maybe it makes for a good support epithet, allowing him to sell temporary epithet or ability power-ups so long as others pay him, and if they can't or won't he can temporarily take some of their power to use or trade with. He could also spend his assets to debuff others. That way, it's more like buying and selling than stealing and swapping.
