@The World Yes, that works.

Alrighty then.

In case it wasn’t apparent (it won’t be for some characters), a few espers have gotten their PR improved this post cycle. Ashley, Asher, and Cirilla may all improve their PRs by one grade and enjoy the improved special/larger loadout that comes with it.

Also a reminder to everyone who hasn’t submitted a glamor upgrade yet, remember to get that to me. These operations are tough enough when you’re equipped for them, and being under equipped could spell disaster. Probably. So make sure to do that.

And this is optional, but guys are also free to make bronze backups! Find a friend and start brainstorming.

There won’t be a GM update next week, but don’t be idle. Some of you have a bit of work to do before your characters are in order.

But I’m not just giving you guys time off, I need some time to update the notes in the DoCS. Here’s some stuff that’s coming down the pipe.

Blink/Transplace is getting its (hopefully) final rework, and cast notes are getting definitive cast times.



Quicken will make melodies cast instantly.



Summon Rework



Purify/Dispel Rework



And that’s not all…



For those that don’t know, in the past I would let players team up their espers and go on small side operations that are made for two people. It’s good for going on a romantic date teaming up with espers that you normally wouldn’t get a chance to. More details will come around next week, but if you are interested in participating in an operation that is smaller in scale when compared to the mainline ones, then keep an eye out for them. They can also tie into the main plot. Dante and the were tiger mafia were introduced in hunts during the old RP, so don’t look at them as mere busy work. I mean you can, but it would be wrong to do so, and Majora would laugh at you.

Witch Hunt
For monsters, exorcism and execution. For witches, prohibition and imprisonment.

Grade: Gold
Element: Light
Notes: [Reveal (2), Purity (4)] Mana Burn (6), Magic Sense (4), Blink (4), Dispel (6), Damage (2), Stabilize (0), Shield (4), Scatter (2), Full Extend (4), Restrain (4), Enhance (2), Quicken (0)
Special: SACRAMENT OF CENSURE - Mana Burn, when cast, counts as one Rank up. At the start of an Operation, choose one of two effects to append to SACRAMENT OF CENSURE:

@ERode Slap that in there.

Hey hey people, the new DoCS patch is live! Give it a look if you're curious about the changes. Summon might be overtuned for the cost, but we'll be keeping an eye on how it performs in the next operation. The temptation was to sneak in a craft update, but I feel like there are enough balance changes in this “patch” that it wasn’t necessary.

Hunts and information about how to join them should be up later this week. In the meantime, I gotta get some character sheets updated and participate in some collabs.

It’s gunna be an exciting week.

Hunts are live! Just peer into the zeroth OOC post for a gander.

But before you participate in them, some of you may wish to upgrade your glamors first.

@The World@TaintedMushroom I feel like we discussed or even finished discussing them, but your character sheets have not been edited yet?

@Nakushita@FamishedPants@Vertigo I don't think I've heard any ideas from any of you yet. might wanna get on that.

@Kero You get an upgrade because an operation has concluded. that's what happens when you app for an rp months in advance smh my head.

And then I need to do mine, once I get done setting everything up.

Also remember that you guys can make bronze backup glamors, haven't seen anyone going for those. y'all need more friends huh?

What's up everyone? This is the BP man here!

Opperation is more or less over. You can start working on your esper’s upgrades. Pyramid level up system, etc etc. Some of you forgot to upgrade so I'll make this simple: You should have one Diamond, one Gold, one Silver, and one Bronze glamor. This is going to be the last upgrade for this chapter of the RP so try to get it done in a timely manner. There may be a 1-2 month wait time before the last op but there's going to be a lot of crazy stuff going on in the meantime. The sooner you can work out what you want, the better. Also, Diamond is kind of a broken tier. There's a good chance I'm going to have to rework existing Diamond characters like Oros and Elroy, so don't worry too much about getting feedback. The sooner you get something to me, the better.

Remember that you can carry a friendo's trinket to use in a really emotional and sad way. Just think of how much more impactful Himiko's death would have been if she had used her BFF's charm to power up before delivering her final attack, or maybe their BFF is out there holding onto Himiko's gift, knowing that once they use it, there won't be anything left of her. And then in using it, it can be a way of the character finally moving on. Yea, it's great stuff, and you losers should totally try to make friends. But yea, bronze for backups.

PR upgrades/downgrades will be announced later once we see how Noah does and if anyone else turns their back on humanity.

But yes, I have a lot of collabing to do. so many collabs. I may be writing collabs like the president writes executive orders. You can feel free to workshop your own stuff too. Everyone likes to do collabs but nobody likes to be the one to start them for some reason.

Uhh, but just to start I guess I'll list what I have to do.

STARTED-Noah VS Trixy/Boteg
STARTED-Gemini post operation briefing (This is probs going to involve just Ashley : C)
-Maverick Alternative post operation party (Just Ciri... Man, Maverick and Gemini have just as many player characters now. That's sad. But we can't start until the Noah fight progresses.)
-Asher and THE NUNS
-Something with Finn C:
-Sooooo many things with Marrie, but it's her fault for going pacifist route like this is Undertale.

Might do a hunt later, but yea, got some stuff to work through.

I think I did the weapon thing right but if not I’ll try to fix it when I get home from work. Im always terrible when it comes to remembering the letter stuff.
