The Great Belgiuming (April Fools Forum Game)

[Ferrus_coloni]

sorry for the delay

Both actions: “feel” for the minds of enemies around and within the structure, hoping to “map it out” and understand how it works better

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

By the way, do you think enkefaros disappearing would decrease your total hp?

[Ferrus_coloni]

most likely, I was also considering asking you to replace my health stat entirely with something like “acknowledgements”, measuring how many sentient entities know of my existance and by extension perpetuate it (of course, enemies would be exempt from this counter, otherwise it’d be an unlosable scenario)

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I suppose TGB would also not influence the amount of your HP… directly at least.

[Ferrus_coloni]

correct, again, that would be an unlosable scenario; since you can’t “extract” me from someone’s mind, even if we were utterly wiped out, I’d have an infinite amount of time and attempts to mentally break my unwilling hosts

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

We’d see about that, but that’s not the direction we’re going for.

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

how would that make it unlosable?
only enemies that know about you would count, and posessing an enemy and being seen by another wouldn’t make the other enemy know about you

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I suppose an enemy would realize somnium exists if they were attacked by it but the attack failed…

[Ferrus_coloni]

TGB knows about me, and the belgium-creatures are slaved to him. I can grind him down over an irrelelvantly long period of time

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

well there is the fact that he is literally a god making that a lot harder
but also
a better thing to use for your health would be entities who know what you are, and share your ideals

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I suppose companions could do the job with extending somnium’s “HP”…

BATTLE 2 - TURN 6

Somnium attempted to feel for the minds of the enemies within the room Enkefaros and Waterzooi are in, and managed to determine that four more enemies reside on the farther-away side of the room, but before anything more could be done Somnium felt it’s connection with Enkefaros slipping away before terminating completely. What happened there? No matter that, now the rest of the room is too far away to feel for minds there, not to mention other rooms. The climate of this arena does not help either.

Waterzooi observed the situation around itself. All around all it could see is snow, some decaying bodies of recently defeated foes and tracks of Enkefaros. It was about to go in the later’s way when it felt it’s connection to that person via Somnium cut off. Not knowing what happened, Waterzooi moved close to a wall and decided to progress from there towards the dark spot on the map…

Enkefaros for some reason stood still for a while before the unexpected happened - no other fighter was around to see it, but in some strange manner the many-limbed fighter simply vanished into thin air. Perhaps the host of these battles knows something about this incident?

Loki meanwhile realized in the tunnels that it has gone to far south, and instead branched off to the west, creating a new, cozy tunnel in the process. At the same time, the swarm at the hive guarding the entrance to the beginning valley prepared for utilizing some corpses that litter the terrain up that valley into the first chamber. Later on meanwhile, the “tunnel swarm” would create two new tunnels, one leading into the core of the mountain below, and the other heading upwards at a rather steep angle, of which both had foamy wax as the insulator.

(+1 XP to Somnium, +1 XP to Waterzooi, +1 XP to Loki, Enkefaros no longer in the game)

FIGHTERS:

Loki

ADVANTAGES:
1: Extra Form
2:

@willow

overstimulation immunity: the user’s brain adapts to the amount and types of stimuli it gets and actions it needs to perform at a time within minutes, resulting in the user being functionally immune to overstimulation

3:

@willow

decentralized body: the user cannot die from destruction of one vital organ, as they have multiple copies of every vital organ, and thus every copy of at least one vital organ must be destroyed for the user to die. the user can also start growing more of any organ on command, but it takes time to grow them, even if cells can just be tilapia-dteleported in in the shape of the organ, as generally tissue will need to be moved and spawning all the cells at once will simply make the whole thing either fall apart or otherwise not function.

DISADVANTAGES:
1:

@willow

legless: the user does not, and can not, have legs. if the user attempts to make legs, with a leg defined as a limb that has the intended main purpose of locomotion by pushing against the ground or a wall, the limb will disintegrate or be turned back into its raw materials.

2:

@willow

insomnia: the user is physically unable to sleep. they don’t have a biological need to sleep either, but they still feel the effects of not sleeping.

DESCRIPTION:

@willow

single entity
stronger but less agile than Numerous Bees

Numerous Bees
weaker but stronger than single entity form

@willow

Loki has no legs and any legs they try to make will simply vanish as soon as they appear, and as a result they had to know how to make limbs for flying, climbing, swimming, limbs to use the ground to rest, and all-purpose limbs built to do everything but just happening to originate in a spot that makes them useful for locomotion on ground to work around their chronic and incurable leglessness. unsurprisingly, the form they often find themself the most comfortable in is that of not one, but several, and up to thousands of, large bees. of course, as they can shapeshift and keep their most important part in a magical big words pseudoscience dimension, they have removed parts of their central brain they don’t need or want, like their internal thermostat(the bees have their own and having one dedicated to all the bees is simply a bad move), most of the medulla oblongata, as insects are small enough to not need much of a circulatory system, but these bees do breathe, and they all breathe in sync, and their breathing pumps their blood. when they are in bees form they have to modify their auditory and visual processing centers to hear and see things properly, but due to the great amount of bees they do away with their chemoreception processing centers and replace them with something to let all the bees know what bee is smelling what thing and let all the bees smell what all the other bees smell. in bees form they typically feel the need to be doing between 300 and 10,000 things at once, and can do so with their multiple bodies that can communicate near instantly through the magical sci-fi handwave dimension, said bodies also put themselves entirely in the dimension when they are nearing death by anything that won’t continue killing them once they are in the magical electromagnetism dimension(things that will include poison, viruses, parasites that enter your cells, cancer, and prions.).
as Loki is not able to make chitin, their bees for their bees form instead use a keratin exoskeleton with a bone inner lining for muscle cells to bind to, and when the exoskeleton needs to be shed, bones are summoned in their place. Loki also cannot produce venom, so instead for their stinger they use highly concentrated ammonia with all the toxic metals from the bee it’s produced in mixed in.

in ‘human’ form Loki cannot aqcuire brain damage as they keep their brain in the magical sci-fi big words pseudoscience dimension at all times, but they can still ‘die’ if their body is destroyed, but they are still alive when that happens, they just have no anchor to the universe and thus cannot remove any cells from the magic cells dimension, and have to wait until the next battle for their body to respawn. they can also ‘die’ in a similar way in any of their forms, whether or not they have multiple bodies, but if they have multiple bodies all of them must be fully destroyed to destroy their connection to the real world. in forms they have one skull it generally makes a hollow ‘thunk’ noise when knocked on as it is actually generally hollow in those forms, unless they fill it with smaller copies of their internal organs so they can turn into a head octopus if decapitated instead of loosing an anchor to the real world.

@willow

Loki is a human bard multi-dimensional changeling who tells their foes that their magic is very much not magic and is in fact [insert big sciencey word here] for the sake of chaos and just chaos, and that they sold their ability to have legs to an alien that calls its species the belgiums for the knowledge to do all the things they do, and that they were a human but the knowledge they had fed into their brain cannot be comprehended by a human brain so they couldn’t stay human and keep the knowledge, so they kept the knowledge and cast away their humanity. they were actually never a human, their magic is very much magic, the only knowledge the belgium blobs gave them is how to use the magic, and the knowledge is fully comprehendable by the human mind, it’s just useless to the human brain without access to the specific kinds of magic they have. Loki also likes playing instruments and threatening to cast vicious mockery on people who are being rude with no reason.

Loki likes cats, axolotls, octopi, clownfish, and sponges the most due to cats just being cute chaos contraptions, axolotls both being cute and having really good regenerative abilities, octopi being masters of disguise and extremely intelligent, clownfish literally being able to change their sex at will, and sponges being the best shapeshifters on earth, second only to Loki themselves. Foods Loki likes include pretty much anything a honey bee or a cat likes, chocolate, bitter almonds(they can just regrow the parts of the body that die), and the cerebrospinal fluid of kids who intentionally abuse animals they find in alleyways(not like they’re gonna grow up to be good people anyways, but they’ll still probably survive, they’ll definitely have the worst headache of their life though).

yes, my character is just a joke character based on how NBs, including me, tell people who can’t seem to get our pronouns right to refer to us as if we were a swarm of bees, but with shapeshifting, an optimized body and brain for it, leg(o)lessness, and chronic, incurable, and possibly weaponizable insomnia mixed in

ADVANTAGES:
1:

@doomlightning

Equilibrium zone: [Passive] Up to a certain range, anything that is defined as some kind of ability or energy at a higher frequency than ultraviolet, is neutralized, including mine. It is possible to change the range, but usually no more than 6 m. (Electricity is affected by this, kinetic energy [e.g. a projectile] is weakened upon entering the area but not eliminated).

2:

@doomlightning

Genetic manipulation: [Active] Allows a certain control over the genes of other creatures and their modification.

3:

@doomlightning

Dimensional Weaver: [Passive] Able to “borrow” other’s traits from anywhere possible, if not the most effective.

DISADVANTAGES:
1:

@doomlightning

E=MC2: [Passive] Any use of an ability means use of energy, and existence in which some external energy source is required.
[Equilibrium Zone allows you to ‘draw’ energy from the environment, only if it is real energy such as electricity, laser, lightning, etc.]

2:

@doomlightning

Vulnerable: [Active] A simple hit can cause great damage.

DESCRIPTION:

@doomlightning

Beige long Hoody. cant see his face. simmaler to human.

SPEED: 20
STRENGHT: 10 Normal Strenght
HEALTH: 16/11 + Partial Protection (Abilities)
EXPERIENCE: 67
(DISADVANTAGE) ENERGY: 5/5

ABILITIES:

PASSIVE:
Equilibrium Zone: Energetic and Kinetic attacks are weakened if they are within this zone, regenerates energy if such attack is commited

Dimension Weaver: When Hit an enemy, temporarily adds the best advantage to The Fighter (Lasts until the fight with this/those entity/entities ends)

E=MC2: Special Energy Statistic which measures how many Active Abilities can you cast.

ACTIVE:
Genetic Manipulation: Can Modify an enemy’s genome, changing it’s statistics, abilities and even alignment. You need to first inspect an enemy in order to use this ability.

MISC.:

Other Stuff

10 XP can add 5 points to a statistic,
100 XP can add an advantage/ability OR upgrade an already existing advantage/ability.
XP can be gifted by one player to the other (with no fee for the gifting)

Fight will include cube dice rolls:
1- You miss
2- Strikes a worse area
3- Strikes a worse area
4- Strikes as expected
5- Strikes as expected
6- Strikes critical area

Damage is affected by the rolls of the dice, and is closely tied to strenght.
Various strenght types to various things (control S. allows for control of enemies, distance S. allows to hit enemies from further away.)

Damage drains Health.

If you have more stealth than an enemy, you will be able to attack them from surprise, giving you a lot larger chance of critical hit.

@doomlightning @Ferrus_coloni @willow

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

both actions: continue the tunnel

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

You mean both the one going down and the one going near-vertically?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

i meant to have it be one tunnel with a horizontal slope of -1/2(south 1, east 2) and a vertical slope of 1/6(1 up per 6 east)
so per 6 pixels east, it’d go up 1, and south by 3

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I see. I previously didn’t exactly understand what did you mean by these slope numbers but now I see.
Edit: @doomlightning @Ferrus_coloni

[Ferrus_coloni]

Action 1: seize control of a belgium-blob within the structure

Action 2: unleash it against the other enemies, seeking to damage them and delay them joining the battle proper

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

@aah31415

Two for two to me, and the black wall shall fall.

You three also need to remember about this:

1. move to the black spot on the mapo
2. chage myslef with to add more energy

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

You cannot get more energy, you’re already at 5/5.
