Tickettbror's Character Info

Post your stuff here!

If you look at Tomo's info, you'll notice they also have probability-altering powers, as well as a listless personality.

I don't know if you want to differentiate Blended from that. It's not required; two characters with similar powers will certainly lead to hijinks.

Ah, yeah, not sure if that'd been brought up in the recruitment thread and I somehow missed it? Still, I may not go for Blended to keep things different if that's not a problem? Looking at who we've still got Blended's stuntman self might've also stepped a bit on Rocketeer's more daredevil toes.

No, I didn't mention it in Games Tavern. I figured we could hash things out here. Apologies for any confusion!

In the future, I guess I can list the current characters when I'm recruiting, so people can brainstorm accordingly.

And as I said, you can use Blended. I was just making sure you're aware of the similarities. You can stick with Blended, modify them, or start from scratch!

Okay, much as I got really into making Blended, I can be just as easily into Fei-fei... assuming I'm not missing something this time. I usually like to keep backstories relatively vague to learn more about my characters as I play, but I hope this gives an idea? It's quite a quick writeup so let me know if you want me to revisit anything.
Cape Name: Lunar Q
Name: Valentina "Fei-fei" Angilley

Valentina, or self known as Fei-fei at the risk of annoying everyone around her (or likely in order to), started her life as a normal young girl in Sydney. It wasn't until she discovered kung-fu, her uncle taught classes in the "old country style", that she realised how different her life would become. She loved every second of it, the rush of the sparring, the choreography of training, the whole experience awakened something inside her.

Little did any of her family know, they descended from the holders of the twelve spirits. The power to channel them had long been forgotten, and the bloodline died out day by day... until her. The last one left. In her the blood burned brighter, and she inherited all twelve spirits at once, far more than any mortal should.

She was forced to live alone until adulthood, training her body and her mind to the point where she could channel the powers. Now, as an adult, she's returned to life as their avatar in the mortal world.

Lunar Twelve (4) Fei-fei can access the twelve spirits of the lunar zodiac. Each one comes with it's own set of powers and abilities, though not always what you'd expect from them. They blend somewhere between magic and science, and provide super strength, speed and more. She can only access one a day though, and it has to be a different one each day.
Prodigal kicks (3) Kung fu at it's finest. Fei-fei loves and lives the fight, enjoying the rush and the action.
Belligerent Spirit (2) Never having learned to interact with people normally, Fei-fei developed a unbreakable spirit in the worst way possible. She usually manifests a will to succeed out of sheer bitterness and spite.
Reluctant Allies (1) She has people at her beck and call, but it's not like she's rich. Most of them would rather not do what she says, since they're only there to support the Twelve. It's not her fault they picked her as their mortal host.

Noice! I love the artwork! Is it AI, or did you find it somewhere?

Does she turn into that tiger, or does that symbolize her spirit? Or maybe it's one of her helpers?

So time is sorta loosey-goosey in this game. Not like D&D, for example, where you usually keep track of stuff more carefully.

We're currently on the second day of the adventure. Yep, just the second! PbP at its finest...🤣

The first day had a tutorial fight, then two missions. Going forward, we'll probably do 1-2 missions per day, then you'll "long rest" until the next day, which will restore any depleted cliches. Or ya'll might want to night patrol or something. Definitely possibly if you're not too beat up by then.

Anyway, that's what you're looking at time-wise for the "one per day" part of your powers.

I... hope it's not AI. I try to avoid it honestly. I was looking through my RPG image folder until I found something to spark my inspiration.

I was thinking it'd be more along the symbolising her powers, but it could be she turns into it. I hadn't thought about it being a helper at all though, and I do kinda like that idea. :3

I figured it'd be more loose given Risus as a system. I might always revisit that conceptually, but I thought from a narrative perspective it might be a fun limitation to her powers to think of. If your okay with it though, I'll leave it as it is for now.

Thanks for the vote of confidence though!

So I'm ready to approve her, unless you want to change something based on this game's use of time.

If you want to post as an avatar, submit something for me to approve.

One thing: maybe something more descriptive for "The Staff"? Like "Followers of the Twelve" or "Reluctant Allies"?

EDIT: We posted at the same time!

Regarding AI: I use plenty of AI images. Does that bother you? Like enough to leave the game? I remember one user on here who was adamant about avoiding AI, so making sure you know how I operate on that front.
Mar 16, 2025 8:41 pm
Gotcha. I'll switch it to "Reluctant allies".

And submitted!

We're here at the same time, so posting this again, in case you missed my edit above:

Oh, no, not at all. It's more a habit from having a lot of artist friends than any strong opinions on it. As someone who GMs a fair bit I can really understand how useful it can be from that perspective, so don't worry about me!

Awesome! 😎

You're ready to RP.

The team is split up, so you can choose where to make your entrance.

Celestine hasn't posted IC in a while, so dunno if they're sticking around. But Eliza, Sarah, and the robots will keep you company if you choose to start at the backyard/future girl genius lair.

Sounds good. I'll read and catch up a little before I post, but if I don't get something up tonight (it's fairly late for me and I've been travelling today) I will tomorrow morning!

Again, almost forgot this: this reward transfers over to you now. I believe the one you get belonged to Shield Maiden (DMBrainiac's character), but it's not a big deal narratively.

Use it wisely!
