[IC]TotMG:V2 - Hyperdimension: Return of the Four Felons

"That would run counter to our objectives, I'm afraid," Saejik stares at the mound with no small amount of trepidation, though he keeps most of his feelings off his face, "I don't suppose you've decided to do the reasonable thing and discuss the terms of your surrender and how we're going to shut down this... thing you've created?"

AzyWng · August 15, 2020

Lyra said nothing, simply moving to CFW's side and wondering how well negotiation would go. If CFW Magic had gone this far, she'd probably already made up her mind.

She turned her gaze to the pile of junk. Something about it... didn't seem quite right, but she wasn't sure what. Maybe there was something inside of it? Lyra made sure to grip her wrench more securely. If things went the way she thought they might, she'd need it soon enough.

StormLord · August 16, 2020

A rumbling can be heard in the distance, from the direction the party walked into the clearing.

"What a waste. To miss such a momentous unmaking all because you'd rather die by my hand."

The rumbling grows louder as Magic twists her scythe in her hand, letting light glint off the blade.
"I hope you don't mind, I invited some friends to the show. Hahahaha...."

As Magic's deep laughter slowly dies off a small tidal wave of monsters pours around the corner, threatening its way into the clearing. She lifts up her off hand and slowly beckons the party to draw closer.
Uni whips around as the monsters arrive, leveling her weapon and preparing to start firing.
"Damnit! They've got us surrounded."

She glances to the side gesturing to a few others, the Twins, the Falcoms, and Square.

"I think we can hold them off, but the main group needs to take care of Magic before she does anything too drastic!"

DragonRage · August 16, 2020

"Of course she has an army," Saejik sighs, "And of course she doesn't want to do things the peaceful way. Well, I have a few ways to possibly even the odds here, but not while this shield is up. Rather inconsiderate of the enemy to have it. Very inconvenient."

AzyWng · August 16, 2020

Lyra frowned, trying to shake off the feeling of inner dread the whole situation was giving her. And trying to ready herself for what she was about to say. At the very least, it might distract Magic while the others got into position...

She just hoped this wouldn't result in a repeat of last time...

"What an amazing

fucking

dumbass!

You got ears on you like a snake, and the planning skills of a tapeworm! Did you really think the universe would just sit back and let you destroy it? In case you haven't got it through that thick skull of yours, we're here after putting all of your previous criminal colleagues in the dirt! You're the only one left! And that means your only options are to give up this harebrained scheme, or get your skull turned concave by yours truly! And since you just spat on the first choice, that narrows down things a whole hell of a lot!"

StormLord · August 16, 2020

As Lyra finishes her statement she can practically feel the arrogant judgement as Magic rolls her eyes.
"Perhaps you don't understand the concept of a distraction?"
There's a rumble from above as the barrier shakes, and then shatters. A beam of light descends from directly above the mound, causing the earth to quake. Patches of new junk is brought to the surface of the clearing as the shaking comes to an end.
"Hahaha. My colleagues were weak because they were disposable. But with this Avatar, this Deity of Greed and Consumption. I'll be able to take my revenge on the brats that ruined my plans and the one who failed me most!"

The mound begins to shift and rise up as Magic loses herself in ominous laughter. Translucent images appear over several of the patches in the clearing, before large pieces of debris and junk fly from the mound and start to assemble themselves into structures.

Saejik gets an all-clear from his communicator, the barrier is down and they have clear line-of-sight to his position.

Lyra nearly rushed at Magic right then, but stopped when the structures appeared. Something told her that they were going to be the key to bringing forth the 'Deity of Greed and Consumption' that Magic had gone on about. And that meant they had to go down.

Luckily, as an ex-Glitcher, Lyra knew a little about breaking things.

Lyra attacks the Power Plant with Rush, attacking it twice for 1d8+4 damage each! If Lyra then attacks the Power Plant with a move other than Rush, she will add 1 damage die to that move!

Mira

For a while, Mira simply stared at the final CFW, red orbs clearly judging her as she took the time to speak with the Captain and Lyra. The arrival of the monsters over the hills of garbage merely got a tilt of the head from the Dark Knight, only to swiftly refocus on her target, watching the mound behind rise up and begin assembling itself into different structure. That seemed to be the "Deity of Greed" Magic commented on, but it was inconsequential to Mira. Her target was Magic, nothing more, nothing less.

"Deal with her 'deity'. I'll handle Magic."

Mira charges forth attacks CFW Magic with Black Heart, dealing 6d8+11 damage and gaining a stack of Greed. She also uses the Helmet of Judge to cast Libra on Magic, giving her a small bit of info on her if possible. Mira currently has 1 Magra and will gain 1 extra in two turns.

Loadout

Spoiler

Perks

Magra
Mira specializes in using an energy she creates inside of her called Magra, which she specifically uses for attacks. She always starts with at least 1 Magra unless specified otherwise, but can carry over Magra from a previous fight if it was higher than 1, and can have a maximum of 8 Magra. At the end of each turn, Mira gains 2 Magra.

Rending Combination
Due to years of training and mastering of her own internal power, Mira both knows and is capable of using her talents in quick succession. Mira can use up to two separate Magra costing actions per turn.

Unstable (Flaw)
Mira is the carrier of the prototype Magra generator, which can become unstable if met with other instances of magic. Any magic attack that connects with Mira deals 50% more damage.

Stats:

Constitution: 12
Dexterity: 0
Intelligence: 0
Strength: 11
Synergy: 7+5 (12)

Action slots: 8/8

Magra Generator: Mira’s heart is a generator, one that creates energy known as Magra, which is something Mira can use as an offensive tool. Every two turns, Mira gains 1 extra Magra.
- Level 1: Every four turns, Mira gains one extra Magra.
- Level 2: Decreased to one Magra every three turns.
- Level 3: Decreased to one Magra every two turns. This frequency cannot be increased further.

Cell Repair: Mira uses some of her Magra to accelerate her healing process than what is considered normal. Heals herself for 3d6+Syn outright, and can use up to eight Magra to add 1d6 to the heal each, or cleanse a debuff.
- Requires 1 Magra minimum
- Level 1: Mira heals herself for (1d6+SYN) health. She is capable of using more Magra for healing, which adds another 1d6 for each Magra used.
- Level 2: Healing increased by 1d6.
- Level 3: Healing increased by 1d6.
- Level 4: Instead of adding an extra 1d6 by spending extra Magra, she can instead cleanse a debuff on herself for every Magra spent.

Lunar Stance: Mira readies for an enemy’s attack, preparing to counter the second they try to strike her. Cancels the first attack made against her in the turn, and deals (Equipment Damage+3d6) damage to the attacker.
- Requires 2 Magra
- Level 1: If Mira is attacked during the round Lunar Stance is used, she automatically cancels any damage from a single enemy and attacks them for (Equipment Damage+1d6). If Mira is not attacked, she still uses the Magra for this action.
- Level 2: Damage increased by 1d6.
- Level 3: Damage increased by 1d6.
- Level 4: This action now has priority, activating before other (non-priority) actions.

Half Moon: Crescent Slash: Mira drags her weapon through the ground, then slashes upwards, sending both parts of the ground and a wave of Magra out towards the enemy. Deals (Equipment Damage+4d6) damage to a single target.
- Requires 4 Magra
- Level 1: Mira deals (Equipment Damage+3d6) damage to a single target.
- Level 2: Extra damage increased by 1d6.

Full Moon: Restriction Release: Mira puts her Magra generator into overdrive. When activated, this action gives Mira unlimited Magra for 4 turns, but locks up Shattered Moon: Eclipse. After 4 turns, the effect wears off and Mira is unable to generate Magra for two turns.
- Requires 8 Magra
- Level 1: After activation, Mira is capable of using Magra indefinitely for 4 turns. However, during this time, Shattered Moon: Eclipse is completely locked. After 4 turns, Mira is incapable of generating Magra for 2 turns, but immediately regenerates Magra at the end of the 2nd turn cooldown. If the battle ends before Full Moon: Restriction Release is finished, Mira will start the next battle with only one Magra.
- If Cell Repair is used during Full Moon: Restriction Release, it is treated as if Mira had only four Magra available.

(Equipment) Black Heart (10 Weight): Mira’s personal sword, a rather long, one handed blade made out of black metal. Deals 6d8+Strength damage.
- Level 1: Deals 3d8+Strength damage to a single target.
- Level 2: Damage increased by 1d8
-Level 3: Damage increased by 1d8
- (Craft) Level 4: Damage increased by 1d8. Bonus towards Magra infusion on this weapon.
- (Craft) Level 5: Aura of Greed: Once per round when Mira lands a weapon attack Black Heart gains one charge. Mira gains +1 Syn and -1 global DR for every two charges Black Heart possesses. Black Heart loses all charges at the end of each encounter.

(Equipment) Mira’s Armor: The armor of the “Dark One”, Mira. Rusted, old, and cracked, yet durable enough to continue protecting its user from harm. Gives +4 Damage Reduction against Piercing/slashing attacks, and gives a +1 Damage Reduction against all physical attacks, but lowers initiative by 4-Strength (to a minimum of 0).
- Level 1: +1 Damage Reduction against piercing/slashing attacks, but lowers Initiative by 4-Strength (to a minimum of 0)
- Level 2: Damage Reduction increased by +1
- Level 3: Damage Reduction increased by +1
- Level 4: Damage Reduction increased by +1
- (Craft) Level 5: Damage Reduction +1 against all types of physical attacks.

(Equipment) Helmet of the Judge:
- Level 3: Once per combat as a free action Libra one target revealing their HP and a small blurb of information if able.
- (Craft) Level 4: Can be used twice in an encounter, but costs 1 Magra to use the second time.

(1) STR Booster Z: Boosts one target's Str by 50% for two rounds, usable once only, doesn't require a loadout slot.

"Got it.....Mira, right?"

Gabriel, for his part, was still a little confused about what was going on. This world, these people....made very little sense to him. What did make sense, however, was that Perlita (and probably everyone else) needed him to do his best, and that, he could almost certainly do, here or at home.
Freila on Deity of Greed inflicting Sun Arcana.

Freila: Utilising Oppenheimer, Gabriel blasts an opponent with the power of nuclear radiation, unleashing a miniature nuclear blast onto them. Gabriel does 6d6+SYN (14) damage to a single target.

Sun Arcana: Gabriel's Persona is of the Sun Arcana, the searing light that burns all who are revealed to it. Nuclear and fire attacks used by Gabriel inflict a burn on the opponent, dealing SYN/2 (7) piercing damage for three turns, each subsequent nuclear or fire attack adding an extra stack of burn. Enemies who resist radiation and fire cannot be affected by Sun Arcana's effect.

Optimism: Even the worst kinds of situations can't bring a downer onto Gabriel's easygoing attitude. As the Persona is a reflection of the soul, Oppenheimer reflects Gabriel's unyielding optimism. Ailments have halved durations on Gabriel.

Fox Chimera Heart: This character has the innate ability to selectively copy Fox traits. When this character encounters any fox or fox-based creature, magical or otherwise, its powers and qualities are added to a list which this character can pull from. In order to take on these traits, they must permanently convert Craft tokens, into Fox Tokens.

Fox Tokens may be invested to realize these traits and powers as trick level abilities. These abilities cannot be upgraded by any means other then the spending of AP.

Fox tokens may be put into or removed from a fox trait at will, outside of encounters, during which Fox Tokens may only be moved around when selecting the initial load out. Some simple traits, like color, may be adapted without Fox Tokens

-------------------------------

Doppelganger: This character has the innate ability to selectively copy the traits and forms of others through disguises. They may copy the abilities and form of an ally, or enemy. An enemy must be studied before it can be copied.

An action may be spent to learn individual moves and traits in battle as a target uses them, or a captured live enemy, can be studied outside of battle to create a more complete copy. When a move or trait is learned via copying, it is added to a list this character may pull from.

In order to realize these traits This character must permanently convert AP into CP (Copy points) CP May be invested to realize the copied traits and moves as Action level Abilities. These copied actions cannot be upgraded by any means other than the spending of AP and exist at the original level of the copied action minus one (minimum one)

CP may be put into or removed from a copied trait at will, outside of encounters, during which CP may only be moved around when selecting the initial loadout. Perk backed actions cannot be copied, as they are to advanced and complex to copy unless the user is using it in the moment, instead they gain "Assist" actions. An assist action allows this character to join an ally in performing the associated perk backed action, granting a buff to that action. Some simple traits like color may be adapted without CP

--------------------------------------

MasterActor: This character may attempt to fool others in various displays of acting and trickery, through their powers and skill. This can include impersonating someone specific, taking on a more general role or disguise to blend in or get away with things they otherwise wouldn't, Or even assume the likeness of an inanimate object, to throw off pursuers.

Subject to GM fiat, 50% boost to relevant checks and/or the ability to use them where you wouldn't normally be able to.

Actions

Spoiler

Color Strike: The user wraps their arm in colorful energy and visual effects, before attacking. Deals Str Damage and forces the target to make a perception check. If they fail, the damage taken is elemental and they take an associated status ailment chosen by the GM. The element is determined by the user

Level 2: Damage is now STR+1d4, And the user may declare one physical damage type, in addition to the elemental damage. This does not trigger a second check, and is instead tied to the elemental check

Vortex Kick: The user jumps and spins in the air, before delivering a powerful kick to a target. The imparted kinetic and bodily energy then forces the target to spin rapidly. Deals STR+1d6 and Inflicts Dizzy for two rounds. This move has a three-round cooldown. Dizzy causes the afflicted target to have a 50% miss chance.

Phase: The user performs a combination of movements, and intent based manipulation of the energy in their body, which allows them to phase through matter. With this ability they may phase through matter up to a thickness roughly equivalent to the distance of one step.

Level 2: Choose one target, for one round the first attack they make against the user is dodged

Charge up: The user excites the energy in their body in such a way their power is magnified. Each turn spent charging up increases Str by 3, and at the end of every turn that is not spent charging, the charged strength drops by 3.

Quick Change: The user has mastered the art of changing Clothes, Tactics, and Mannerisms in the blink of an eye, allowing them to perform Quickswaps. When used, the user may swap one action or equipment, out of their loadout, and bring in something else, as a free action. Three turn cooldown.

Level 2: The user may perform a second Quickswap in addition to the first one, however, each simultaneous Quickswap increases the cooldown by one.

Roaring White Dragon’s Hidden Gem: The user unleashes a powerful special technique. Creating a large explosive orb of icy energy, and launching it at a target, before following up powerful strike of spectral claws.

Deals 4d6+strength Ice damage. If double the damage Dealt would kill the target, the damage is doubled. Once per battle

Level 2: When a target is killed by this attack an icy shard is created, which strikes a random foe for 1d6+[Str/2]

Flowing Blue Rain: The user performs a series of movements, realigning and amplifying bodily energy. All Debuffs and status ailments are purged from the user. Including those that would restrict movements, or the ability to act.

Punch laughs, putting her hands on her hips for a moment before looking around at the battlefield
"Really? This is your master plan?"
Punch leaps into the air spinning like a tornado as she practically flies at the factory, building up kinetic energy, and a swirling flow of power inside and around her body.
"The weakness is all to obvious!"
Before her foot collides with the factory and imparts all that energy into it, swirling magic races through the structure, spreading over everything while the force of the kick lances through it.

Vortex kick on the Factory : Deals STR+1d6 and Inflicts Dizzy for two rounds. This move has a three-round cooldown. Dizzy causes the afflicted target to have a 50% miss chance.

Whatever that means in this case.

Powder Miner · August 27, 2020

Not for the first time and certainly not for the last, Perlita found herself in a disturbing environment and fighting a crazy megalomaniac. Viewing it from that suddenly distant lens, Perlita felt a part of herself suddenly begin to get very tired of the multiverse and its abundance of people who felt entitled to trying to kill her and everybody else that she was trying to protect. But... well... not tired enough of it to stop defending it, she guessed.

While everybody else strategized to deal with the deities and buildings and resources and crazy lady, Perlita set herself and prepared to fight, taking a deep breath and getting braced for combat. "...okay..." She let out a breath. "Let's do this, I guess. Um, let's see, nobody's hurt yet, and most people here are going for Magic, so I think I'll help out with..." Perlita descended into mumbling as she finished thinking it out, before her voice returned with more confidence. "I'll help you for a little bit, Bridgett!" She clapped, and swung her hand up through the air, gesturing violently as if grabbing something very much firmly. "Crawford!! Hama!" And a sphere of yellow light coalesced around the factory, rotating and rotating and--

Perlita uses Hama on the Factory, dealing 1d4+SYN (14) damage, with a 30% chance to deal double that amount of damage!

Spoiler

Diarama (Level 7): With a flash of her glitzy Persona, Perlita casts one of her two direct healing spells, sending a burst of potent and focused healing energy to diffuse through someone’s being, which mostly just presents itself as a pink glow. Perlita heals 7d4+SYN health for a single target.
Level 2: Upgraded from 1d4+SYN to 2d4+SYN.
Level 3: Upgraded from 2d4+SYN to 3d4+SYN.
Level 4: Upgraded from 3d4+SYN to 4d4+SYN.
Level 5: Upgraded from 4d4+SYN to 5d4+SYN

Level 6: Upgraded from 5d4+SYN to 6d4+SYN

Level 7: Upgraded from 6d4+SYN to 7d4+SYN

Media (Level 6): Perlita casts her other direct healing spell, which is less potent and more taxing, but heals multiple of her allies. In a lot of ways it looks similar to her other healing spell, simply causing a fainter pink glow of healing energy to surround more people, but it requires a longer exposure of her Persona and is harder to channel — she’s splitting her efforts, after all. Perlita heals 3d4+SYN damage for four targets. 1 turn cooldown.
Level 2: Upgraded from two targets to three targets.
Level 3: Upgraded from three targets to four targets.

Level 4: Upgraded from SYN healing to 1d4+SYN healing.

Level 5: Upgraded from 1d4+SYN to 2d4+SYN healing.

Level 6: Upgraded from 2d4+SYN to 3d4+SYN healing.

Me Patra (Level 3): Perlita summons Crawford and casts a spell which showers the target in bright sparkles of a turquoise color. These sparkles are the visual signs of a spell that can soothe burns, purge illnesses, and calm down unnaturally troubled minds... or maybe multiple at once.” Perlita heals all of up to two targets’ ailments, with one turn of cooldown for each target beyond the first.
Level 2: Upgraded from removing one ailment from the target to removing all ailments from them.
Level 3: Upgraded to applying to two targets — but for each target beyond the first, she incurs a turn of cooldown.

Hama (Level 2): Perlita summons Crawford and performs a more esoteric attack. She envelops the opponent in a glaring sphere of light containing words inscripted upon the inside, which remains for a couple of seconds, at which point the ability’s unreliable magic kicks in, either doing a great amount or not much at all. Does SYN light damage, but with a 30% *2 crit chance.
Level 2: Deals 1d4+SYN light damage, but with a 30% *2 crit chance.

Through the Bonds of Camaraderie (Trick): As a member of a specific group of people in Roswell with Personas, Perlita shares a unique bond with them, and pulls on ephemeral threads representing these bonds visible only to Persona-users to invoke Crawford. Turns out she can send something across this thread, too. Perlita can choose to have “once per plot” beneficial items affect Gabriel instead of herself.

Effort Choker: A little black and white choker which embodies focus and pushing oneself hard, letting an occasional spell be strengthened but taking some serious effort in the process. Once a plot, Perlita can add [SYN] to a single target heal or attack, but at the cost of adding 2 turns of cooldown to it.

Circulation Sash: A light blue colored sash that is worn under Perlita’s dress and as such isn’t really visible. It keeps Perlita’s circulation and movement clear and uninhibited, but only insomuch as preventing a severe shock every one in a while, after which it takes a while to realign itself. Once per plot, can be used to break a stun on Perlita.

Dark Jacket [Level 3]: A jacket that looks dark as night, and in fact is just short of being painfully dark to look at — a scant few steps from vantablack, in other words. It’s Perlita’s most potent possession, bringing out her Persona’s darkness resistance and resisting sleep magic. 20% resistance to darkness attacks, and a 40% chance or resistance to specifically sleep ailments.

Level 2: Gain 20% chance of resistance to sleep ailments.

Level 3: Upgrade that to a 40% chance of resisting sleep ailments.

The mound shifts and shakes, metal groans, signs flicker and shatter, a large disc protrudes from one side. Fragments of neon signs slowly bind together to form a pair of huge jaws as more of the mound shifts upward.
Several large chunks of metal and tech are flung free and land with a thud near the party before pulling themselves together into a large rectangular box. A glowing screen lights up on the front of the scrap vending machine to read off text as a cheery distorted jingle plays.
“Get Elder-Coins when you need’em and fast! Today only flash sales: We buy Souls! We buy Gold! We buy Life Essence! We buy Random Junk!”

As the Factory finishes construction conveyor belts materialize between it and the vending machine. The belts quickly start to fill with gears, mechanisms, and circuit boards being fed to the vending machine. Ghostly images of coins etched with tentacles appear to float from the vending machine towards the mound before disappearing.

Mira

In a way, Mira was somewhat surprised to have been able to get so close to Magic in the first place, especially in a way that caught the scythe-wielder by surprise. Unfortunately for the Dark One, however, Magic was quick to respond, slamming the end of her scythe into Mira's torso and sending the latter flying, clawed gauntlets digging into the dirt and debris in order to bring herself to a stop. For a moment, Mira stayed in her position, still as a statue, before suddenly letting out an annoyed huff, standing back up and resuming her march towards her opponent, slashing at the nearby factory parts in an almost offhanded way.

Mira attacks the Factory with Black Heart, dealing another 6d8+11 slashing damage and gaining a second stack of greed, reducing her damage resistance by 1 but also gaining 1 Syn. Mira currently has 3 Magra, and will gain 1 extra in the next turn.
