[OOC] Symphony of Espers

[BrokenPromise]

@Majoras End Looks pretty innocent. Accepted.

Alright, so the rest of the announcement stuff...

#1: Replacing the survey for this operation period is a regular ol' comment box in the survey section of the discord. You can use it to remain anonymous while suggesting changes to the DoCS or comment on the operation. In the end, I think it's easiest for everyone involved.

#2: There are some collabs I wanna get done this week, and I have an extended holiday coming up which should provide me with a lot of time to work on the DoCS. Figure on the next operation starting on Jully 10th or 17th, depending on how our outlook is. Do let me know if that time frame is going to be a problem for anyone. With any luck, the new glamor slot should be up the week of july 4th, which should give everyone plenty of time to make new glamors.

Untill then, keep being your totally chill selves.

For your consideration-

Current

STYLE: Raiment of Tomorrow

Ashley’s Style is a futuristic outfit which consists of a skin-tight bodysuit, along with matching gloves, boots, and visor/headset, all of which are adorned with a variety of semi-transparent, ultra-tech accessories. As with their similar counterparts on her Instrument, these also appear to emit a soft, neon green glow, which significantly intensifies whenever Ashley employs a melody.

GRADE: Bronze
PHYSICAL: E
ARCANE: D
CHAOS: C
SPECIAL: Stride of Tomorrow- Ashley’s highly impractical footwear are equipped with a pair of miniature anti-gravity field generators. While nowhere near powerful enough to allow her to levitate, they are strong enough to allow her to walk like a normal person, instead of falling flat on her face as soon as she tries to take a single step.

SPECIAL: Stride of Tomorrow- Ashley’s highly impractical footwear are equipped with a pair of miniature gravity manipulation field generators. In addition to allowing her to walk like a normal person, they are also capable of temporarily increasing the gravity directly beneath her feet, thus permitting her to remain standing even in situations where her footing/balance would normally be compromised.

[BrokenPromise]

@Ponn So how do you envision this working? Is it like a permanent speedster note in that you can walk up walls and such, or more like knockdown immunity?

[Ponn]

@BrokenPromise Mainly the latter.

For now...

[The World]

Wonder if I'll get away with this since it's a physically very small defense change.

Old

STYLE: Wind-Carved Glacier
Marrie gains a winter aesthetic and small pieces of armor that look made of ice on her cheeks.

GRADE: Bronze
PHYSICAL: E
ARCANE: D
CHAOS: C
SPECIAL: Masking. The "armor" on her cheeks can be targeted by spells for defensive purposes. Otherwise it's entirely cosmetic.

New

STYLE: Arctic Storm
Marrie's sweatshirt now flows in the wind like a capote, allowing for melodies to be put on it for protection.

GRADE: Silver
PHYSICAL: E
ARCANE: C
CHAOS: B
SPECIAL: The "armor" on her cheeks now provide an additional rank of physical resistance once per transformation per piece. (In other words they can take a physical hit and then they break until they recover.)

@The World

This description kind of confuses me.

So she has armor on her cheeks (two pieces) which gives her +1 physical defense total. Then when she gets hit anywhere(?) a peice of her armor breaks, and if she loses all of her armor pieces, her defense score is normal? Does that sound correct?

#slapthosecheeks?

#slapthosecheeks?

@BrokenPromise

Oh, sorry I really messed up explaining that. Basically if she gets hit in the face, her armor pieces she has on it will lessen the damage from physical attacks, but break if it's too much force. So it's a potential safety net for a one-shot kill if someone slashes at her face or something.

[BrokenPromise]

@The World Oh cool! So it's just an anti-decapitation/headshot sort of delio? If someone tries to #slapthosecheeks the armor is sacrificed instead of the head? I'd probably reword it to something like this:

SPECIAL: The "armor" on her cheeks can stop physical critical attacks from hitting her head. This special can activate twice per operation.

Operation being the official term for each "encounter."

Will reword, thanks.

@The World

I also cut the latter half of the description to make it less seem like a special itself.

[BrokenPromise]

@Ponn

Accepted. Uncle Erode thinks it should resist movement manipulation for more utility. How nice of him...

@The World

you're good boiiiiiiii!

[BrokenPromise]

Alrighty, so some quick updates.

-YES! We have some new glamors! Backup and PR glamors are here, and you may app them post haste. Your espers should now have a total of 3 silver glamors and 3 bronze ones. More info on the discord announcement.

-Probably gunna aim to start the next operation on the 17th. Though if we need more time to get glamors approved, I might push it back to the 24th.

The next operation is going to be the end of the first arc of the RP. It's gunna be pretty huge, dramatic, and all that good stuff. I don't expect many people to take this option, but if you want your character go out with a bang, just PM me so that it can be a suprise when it happens ICly. Also, I'll let you roll up a whole new esper that's just as strong as the other players. This would also be a good option if you just wanna try something else.

And that's all I got for now. Make those new glamors and buy a plush!

[Majoraa]

First again it seems.

Expansion pending...

BACKUP: Eddy

For a bit of good luck, Mary has given Fable their other puppet to help him in combat.

[Bronze Beam][Summon][Enhance][Powerful]
SPECIAL: Eddy seems rather fond of the boy, wonder where he gets it from.

PR: Pistol, Medical Supplies

Sometimes you can't rely on your esper form alone.

GRADE: Bronze
SPECIAL: Fable's PR equipment carries the same theme as the rest of his transformed self. Kind of charming.

[BrokenPromise]

@Majoras End That works! Approved. You can add them under your other glamors on your character sheet.

[The World]

Here for review, very rushed honestly but still.

Being a Basic Bitch

Backup:
After You Get Smacked Up : Silver Self - Heal

PR:
Disco Fever - The clip light can change colors.
Clip Light
Kevlar Coat
Kevlar Padding

[BrokenPromise]

@The World PR is fine, Backup melody would need to be Bronze. But you could easily just do [Bronze self][Powerful][Enhance][Heal] For something with a similar effect for under 100 mana. And you would need to decide who the totem object came from, be it Stacy, a PC, or even someone you made up.

[Ponn]

Tentative Backup and PR items

BACKUP: PRO-TEK 4000 Defensive Surgery Implement

Ashley received this autonomous, anti-gravity buzzsaw from Binky as protection against opponents wishing to engage her in melee. It is stored in a compacted form within a chamber on her right gauntlet.

[Bronze Self][Dynamo][Damage X][Piercing]
SPECIAL: In an effort to keep with Ashley’s theme, Binky modified the buzzsaw to glow with a neon green radiance.

PR: Kevlar Coat, Kevlar Padding, Clip Light

To increase her survivability outside of the esper state, G.E.M.I.N.I. techs have modified Ashley’s hoodie to be as durable as a Kevlar vest, and then some. She’s also requisitioned a small Clip Light, in case she needs to explore darkened areas while untransformed.

GRADE: Bronze
SPECIAL: The beam of Ashley’s Clip Light has a faint green hue.

[BrokenPromise]

@Ponn Looks good, you can add them.

Hmmmm, I should probably get around to Su and Luna before the week is over.

[Ponn]

Yeah, GM.

You're supposed to be the one showing us how this is done.

[Majoraa]

Just use how I formated it lmao
