The Great Belgiuming (April Fools Forum Game)

[Ferrus_coloni]

Action 1: calm down Waterzooi and his converted belgium-fighter, slowing down their breathing and thus reducing the amount of toxic gas inhaled

Action 2: transmit the remaining information from Enkefaros to the rest of the fighters, hoping that they learn to avoid the circumstances which led to their demise

Also Aah31415, since my fighter’s existance is based of people knowing/remembering about it, and dead people cannot remember, Somnium should lose some HP

I will note that down. Originally I planned that once enemies reach the “spawning area” of the player fighters, they would notice that one is missing and start attack you.

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

Well, I guess the brain got squished.

A1: main swarm attempts to bring the pilus blob to waterzooi while the smaller swarms converse in the walled off area to the south(top swarm)/West(middle swarm) of them, then fly up the big boulder as high as they can go get a better view

A2: if the main swarm successfully brought the pilus blob to waterzooi, have it explore southwards while the top swarm flies to a stable spot on the large boulder to turn human and use the much longer range eyes of a human to look for corpses to make meat honey with to heal up.

Btw is the size of my swarms measured in health? If so, does the max health of my bees form go up if I make a hive and have a queen make more bees?
(Honestly kinda surprised I didn’t think of this earlier since swarming bees are hive bees and would be able to multiply by settling down a group, if I am able to do that though the bees should be reproducing asexually in the hive because they have to all be able to combine into a person who is genetically (nearly) homogeneous, and the effects of having no biodiversity in a species that does genetic recombination tend to be very deadly to the offspring, or at least to decrease their ability to function, and only in the best case scenarios do they get the parent genome or a version of it that’s just two of the same half of the parent genome with slices of the other half)

Fralegend015 Do you wish to have your ping stopped until the inter-battle intermission?

Yes.

BATTLE 1 - TURN 13

Somnium made Waterzooi and their converted ally less affected by the poisonous gas released by the foes. They also made both Loki and Enkefaros a bit more resistant to that gas by providing last Enkefaroses information which Somnium could receive…

Waterzooi decided to follow Loki’s main swarm, with the allied blob following it. It then evolved the said blob…
(Ally HP regenerated to full, Temporary Strenght boost now permanent)
The gas-attacking enemies have ran away, perhaps they need to recharge their gas-spewers?

Loki’s main swarm tried to get the pilus enemy to Waterzooi, however only remains were left of it. The two other swarms merged in a previously undiscovered area and flew up, revealing the last section of a huge boulder.
The main swarm then explored southwards, revealing a large passage, meanwhile the other swarm climbed up the big boulder and turned into a rather barebones human, searching for foe corpses in range, however no were found. It seems like the only option for healing available is to heal alongside Waterzooi, or perhaps Somnium? The human feels like a divine force will remove them from the boulder if they stay on it any longer…

(+3 XP to Somnium, +3 XP to Waterzooi, +1 XP to Loki, -1 HP to Waterzooi)

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

Waterzooi

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.

STATISTICS:

STEALTH: 20
SPEED: 20
STRENGHT: 10 Normal Strenght
HEALTH: 11/11 + Partial Protection (Abilities)
EXPERIENCE: 37
(DISADVANTAGE) ENERGY: 1/5

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.

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.

Speed determines how fast can you cast actions - at 20 speed it’s 2 actions/sub-round, and it scales as +10 speed = +1 action/subround, easy to understand.

A1: turn the part on the boulder back into a swarm and fly it off the boulder to the southeast while the main swarm flies up the boulder to the east

A2: fly the west swarm up the boulder to the southeast while the main swarm searches for any isolated spots to build a hive

[aah31415 (Possible Error Message)]

@doomlightning and @Ferrus_coloni I need your votes.

[Ferrus_coloni]

Action 1: increase sweat gland activity and numb pain signals from the legs (or bee wings), effectively turning other fighters into long-distance runners like Homo Sapiens, so that they can explore more effectively

Action 2: attmpt to infiltrate the minds of belgium fighters which are already wounded/distracted

[doomlightning (The Invisible Aztec Dodo God. probebly cooking something here, or not? ^_(o_0)_^)]

1. move east
2. find more energy

[aah31415 (Possible Error Message)]

I should remind you that this is your last energy point being spent there.
