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

Twinwolf · June 19, 2019

6D looked between the two directions people were going, not sure where to go - but her particular skills would be more of use against fewer, powerful enemies, and going after Trick seemed in line with that, so she went with Mira, Isobel, and Lyra.

StormLord · June 19, 2019

As Mira moves forward the officer standing in the path is out of the way and off to the sidelines before she even gets the words out of her mouth.

Square looks back and forth at what's going on before shrugging and jogging forward to keep up.

"I'm going to follow Her."

[43]

The officer raises an eyebrow as Punch announces "guard guy". You hear a feint snicker that is quickly stifled coming from one of his colleagues in the background. Never the less he listens to Punch's question and seems to answer it the best he can.

"Well after the initial attack he hasn't moved around much, just sort of sits in the middle of the park while his henchmen do the heavy lifting. Good for us and you I guess since it means things don't get done very quickly. If I'm remembering the news right last time he showed up he tried to kidnap the Goddess Candidates and hold them for ransom, didn't work out for him though."

Movement:

Directly before your first action each round you may move from one named space to any other named space directly connected by a "Transition". Transitions do not connect through thick borders(Which represent blockages and/or extreme elevation changes.). You may only take actions that effect targets in the same space as yourself.

Lunchtime Snack:
Prevent CFW Trick from eating civilians and even his own men lest he grows too powerful to control!

Civilians in uncontested spaces can be forced to move(following normal rules) with an action if they aren't hidden, hidden Civilian must first be found with a separate action. Civilians do not take any actions during the round. CFW Trick may spend an action to eat any unnamed NPCs he is in the same square with.

Mira, taking the shortest possible route to Trick, will proceed to head to the Colorful Blocks area.

Magra: 1/8

Loadout

Spoiler

HP: 90

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 1 Magra.

Full Moon Arts
Mira’s personal style, the Full Moon style, specializes in using Magra for extra powerful attacks for varying situations. Specifically, this perk gives Mira access to the action “Shattered Moon: Eclipse”.

Growing Power

While Mira's prototype generator is flawed and not as powerful and others, it is still something that is growing in efficiency. Mira gains +1 SYN every level.

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, although it costs twice as much Magra if she does so.

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.

Actions: (9/9)

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 three 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.

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 one Magra to add 1d6 to the heal.
- 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.

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+2d6) 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.

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.

(Perk Backed) Shattered Moon: Eclipse: Focusing all of her currently generated Magra and then some, Mira punches the ground and forces all of her Magra into it, causing a massive explosion of darkness to erupt from her. With this action, she can deal either 8d8+Syn damage to 4 targets, or 14d8+Syn to a single target. However, after it is used, Mira is unable to generate Magra for the remainder of the battle.
- Requires 8 Magra
- Level 1: Mira deals (6d8+SYN) damage to up to 4 separate enemies. However, after this action is used, Mira is unable to regenerate Magra for the remainder of the battle, effectively becoming locked out of most of her actions.
- Level 2: Shattered Moon: Eclipse can now target one enemy, dealing 12d8+SYN damage to them with the same negatives as normal.
Level 3: Now deals 8d8+Syn damage to 4 seperate enemies, and 14d8+SYN to a single target.

(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 looses 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.

"RRRRg. Damn hotheads. I miss working with professionals," Iowa groans, "We could really use a chain of command. We're going to have to split up. Since we've got a lot of heavy hitters going for Trick to keep him busy, the rest of us should probably go for the Splash Zone to support the evac team in combat. Iowa heads toward the Splash Zone.

Powder Miner · July 14, 2019

Perlita buried her face in her hands for a moment, making a thoroughly frustrated sound -- Mira's actions were going to get somebody hurt, and it wasn't impossible that it would be her. But, nonetheless, she had to keep going if she was going to stop Trick from killing any more people.

Perlita heads over to the Colorful Blocks area!

Spoiler

Diarama (Level 6): 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 6d4+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

Media (Level 3) : 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 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.

Patra (Level 2): 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 a target’s ailments.
Level 2: Upgraded from removing one ailment from the target to removing all ailments from them.

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 orresistance 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.

Endlessblaze · July 15, 2019

Punch sighs and follows Lyra
When she gets there she once more begins to scream at the sky and charge up.

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.

Perks

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.

Atton

HP: 93/93
Constitution: 9
Dexterity: 8
Intelligence: 15 (8+7)
Strength: 3
Synergy: 2

Perks:

M9 Half-track:
Atton enters combat with a Half-track that has HP equal to [Int*LVL]/2, it comes crewed as needed, and has half as many (rounded up) action slots as Atton. The Half-track can be loaded with actions or equipment from Atton or his allies(where applicable). Atton may spend his turn acting or commanding the Half-track, if the Half-track doesn’t receive orders it automatically takes the “Defend” action.
The Half-track shares the same Init as Atton, effects that modify its Init instead modify Atton’s. Actions and equipment being used by the Half-track are inaccessible until the end of combat if the Half-track is destroyed. The Half-track’s base stats are equal to Atton’s level across the board, plus any bonuses from equipment it might be using. The Half-track reappears fully repaired any time the party would get a full HP restore.

The Endless pursuit of Perfection: +1 Int per level.

Inspirational Speechwork: Richard is able to use the action “Never Give up!”

Proper Goddamn Food: The standard C and K Rations that Atton’s crew have had the displeasure of consuming for most of their military career are so fucking terrible, that the mere prospect of being able to survive long enough to return to base and eat a proper meal is enough to drive Atton and his crew to new heights. Atton's Level is considered 1.3x its normal value for the purpose of calculating everything but his AP and CT pools.

(Flaw) No Plan survives first contact with the enemy: Richard is unwilling (or more likely unable) to use any support actions in the first round of combat, this includes using his basic defense, or any action that does not involve attacking and the first support action used has an additional round of cooldown.

Half-track:
HP: 52/52

Sats: 7
Actions: Gunner, Combat Engineer, Armor Plating, .50 cal.
5 DR vs Piercing, Slashing, & Bludgeoning damage.

Loadout

Atton's Actions:
(Perk Backed) Never Give Up!: “Richard stands upon the highest platform he could find, and raises his silver sword in such a way that catches the light, golden wings appear and Richard appears to be wearing a golden horned helmet for just a few moments, this causes anyone watching to suddenly feel inspired”

Current: Heals 1d4+[Int]+[LVL] health to the entire group and removes one ailment, three round cooldown
Level 1: Heals [Int]+[LVL] health to the entire group, four round cooldown
Level 2: Healing increased to 1d4+[Int]+[LVL].
Level 3: This ability now has a three round cooldown.
Level 4: Now also removes one ailment from each ally.

Battle Plans: “Richard analyzes the current situation and formulates a cunning plan, one that is so cunning that it has recently managed to become the professor of cunning studies in Harvard”
Current: Boost the stat of choice of two targets by [LVL] for two rounds and reduces a cooldown of the targets’ choices by one, two round cooldown.
Level 1: Boost the stat of choice of one target by [LVL] for two rounds, two round cooldown.
Level 2: Increases the amount of targets by one
Level 3: Now also reduces a cooldown of the target’s choice by one.

Entrenchment: Atton orders some of his squad to quickly dig an entrenched position...complete with a bunch of sandbags to form a chest high wall.
Current: Create a trench large enough for two allies.
Level 1: An ally can choose to enter this trench as a free action, causing them to gain a 30% damage reduction against ranged attacks until they perform a non ranged action.
Level 2: The entrenchment is now large enough for two allies.
(Alternatively just a 30% damage reduction against ranged attacks that lasts until the target use a non ranged action.)

Forward March!: “Richard attempts to convince a friendly target that they can, and will move faster than they usually would by using a short speech”
Current: Increase the Init of two targets by [Int]/2.
Level 1: Increase the Init of one target by [Int]/2.
Level 2: Increase the number of affected targets by one.

That, is naught but a flesh wound: “Richard converses at length about how the friendly target can power through an injury that is affecting them”
Current: Restore 1d4+[Int] HP to one target and cure one ailment.
Level 1: Restore 1d4+[Int] HP to one target.
Level 2: Now also cures one ailment.
Level 3: Increase the number of affected targets by one.

Banner of the 10th Regiment: A rather minimalistic banner depicting a symbol of a golden winged white cross and the words ‘10th Regiment’ written in stark white placed on a dark blue background that is held aloft on a sturdy metal pole. The sight of the banner flying freely (and a constant stream of motivational sayings) motivates Atton and his crew to move and act even faster.
Current: +6 Init
Level 1: Boost Init by 3 points.
Level 2: Init boost improved to +6.
Level 3: A megaphone attached to the top of the banner grants Atton an additional +3 boost to initiative....if he spends a turn to activate it that is, as he decided to place the mouthpiece at the top of the banner for some inexplicable reason.

Symbol of Lumabella x1 - A holy item in the shape of a stylized bow in a beam of sunlight. Can be activated as a free action once per battle to cause the user's ally-targeting actions to remove a single debuff from allies for the round. If said action already removes debuffs, it will instead heal them by user SYN/2.

Half-Track's actions:
.50 Cal: Atton orders the squad’s gunner to man the M2 Browning and open fire on the enemy’s position.
Level 1: Deals 2d6+[Dex] damage to one target or 1d6+[Dex]/2 to three targets, only usable when equipped by the Half-track or Atton is in a stationary defensive position (Such as the one created by his Entrenchment action), one round cooldown.

Armor Plating:
Current: +5 DR vs Piercing, Slashing, & Bludgeoning damage.
Level 1: Reduce incoming Piercing, Slashing, and Bludgeoning damage by 3 points, reduce user’s Init by 7-[Str], only usable by vehicles.
Level 2: Increase damage reduction by one point.
Craft Level 3: Synthetic adamantium has been alloyed with the pot metal armor of the Half track, allowing it to absorb kinetic energy and convert it to heat. Increases damage reduction and initiative reduction by 1.

Combat Engineer: Specialist James Doherty is an almost constantly overworked Scottish man who prides himself in his ability to allow the squad’s M9 Half Track take a bigger load of punishment than it is used to without falling apart.
Current: 4 points of repair regen each round.
Level 1: Grants 3 repair healing to the user at the start of each round while equipped.
Level 2: +1 Regen each round.

Gunner: Private Jesus Kaltenbrunner is a textbook example of how not all Germans who fought in world war 2 were evil, or misled by patriotism and promises of racial superiority into fighting for the Axis forces, as some of them were Jewish, German expatriates, immigrants, or just decided that the Axis forces could go stuff themselves. Rather unfortunately he is also a terrible shot with any non fully automatic weapon...but he is improving somewhat.
Level 1: Increase damage dealt with ranged weapons by 3.

"That sounds like a good plan to me, the half track's bound to be better at picking up civilians than fighting Trick anyway," Atton said before he ordered his gunner to be at the ready, and drove off towards the splash zone.

Head to Colorful Blocks since idt he can arrive at the Splash zone yet, Ready an action to use .50 Cal on Trick or the Thugs if they show up in this square.

Atton puts his soldier’s on high alert and moves to the Colorful Blocks area.

Bridgett summons up another protective barrier and moves to the Colorful Blocks area.

Lyra moves to the Colorful Blocks and then activates her Swapper, disappearing in a pulse of energy. She finds herself standing on a square plateau with roller-coaster track overhead and moving cars cycling through.

Several tense seconds later the rest of the party sees a pulse of energy and something large forces its way into the world where they stand. The thing vaguely resembles a bear, colorful and monstrous in design. Wild eyes and huge teeth dominate it’s head, which already makes up a third of its mass. The thing is sitting and cranes its neck to get a good look around, a massive tongue dripping drool out the side of its mouth.

“What was that!?” *shhhlpp* “Did one of you HAGS do that? Have you come to try and beat me up like before?!”

Atton’s crew fires on CFW Trick, .50 glancing off his skin for 11 damage.

“Oowww! I’ll make you pay for that!” *shhhlpp*

A tense chunk of muscle flies from Trick’s mouth and whips itself between Atton’s Half-track and Bridgett. It deals 12 and 23 damage respectively.

Perlita and Gabriel move forward!

6D moves and applies a massive amount of buffs!

6D pokes the bear inflicting 0 damage, taunting it, and Raging it.

Square uses Focus and applies it to Mira, increasing her Syn by 12 for two rounds.

CFW Trick lashes out again dealing 4 damage to 6D and 29 damage to Perlita.

The Evac teams and Thugs fight, bringing each-other down 30 HP.

Punch moves to Colorful Blocks and screams.

Iowa moves to Colorful Blocks and loads big guns.

Mira slams into Trick for a blistering 39 damage!

CFW Trick whips his tongue around yet again dealing another 4 damage to 6D and 21 to Atton.

Mira

"Marvelous, and you decide to tell me that now-" Mira began, barely turning her head to look at Lyra before the latter seemed to pop out of vision... And be replaced by a giant, bearlike monstrosity, the exact one they were looking for. Mira barely had enough time to let out a curse before she fully turned around, placing both hands on her sword as she charged forward. While her strike was akin to that of a stab, it was more close to a tackle that had a sword added onto it, as she first jammed her sword into Trick's side, before using her own momentum to push it further in. Not wasting a second to spare a word though, Mira then flipped her grip around, before attempting to yank the sword back out.

And as she went into battle, the helmet taken from Judge activates, scanning what could loosely be defined as an "old ally" for its new master.

Mira attacks Trick with Black Heart, dealing 6d8+11 damage, gaining a second charge on Black Heart to give her +1 Synergy, but -1 DR. She also uses the Helmet of Judge to cast Libra, showing her Trick’s HP and potential blurb of detail.
