After explaining what is available and being unable to process it all. Mister Neutral took you to...well the closest thing to paradise a Psi Mage could ever encounter. He had special place where he trained his abilities...where he kept all his notes. All his materials for psi Magi...everything really. After getting access to such a thing and training inside you make great progress.

You are also begun to notice some strange things...among the materials there. Some of it isn't entirely written by the sane and the rest show signs of being patched together by another who wasn't their original writers. Strangest of all was two sets of notes...one more advanced but insane ramblings included and the other sane but less advanced more struggled. Both appeared to be written by the same person and they were the most whole of all the notes. Neatly organized too according to timeline...if your guess is correct.

>>871557
That sound like a good idea. What sounds stupid is specifically wanting a Bandit Bitch. I would be against trying to get a ghostly harem, since I suspect that's what you really want, but a Bitch in particular seems like a terrible idea.

You learned a lot just going over the basics of the notes. Looking around the office you also discovered a bookcase which contained books. The books though...were all psi magi material books. Albeit some of them were clearly written by a Madman or were some kind of research journal or even diaries.

There were a collected of armor and weapons lining the walls which you could tell were made for both psi and magic. The majority of which seemed to be old relics, but you were surprised to find tech items scattered among them.

There were also files...files on people and things that also used psi magics. Many of the files were old and commonly the people inside insane as well, but you were surprised to see how up to date some of the new files were. Even if the persons contained within were insane much more often then not.

The notes meanwhile were roughly patched together made up from many different sources. Some of them you were quite surprised to find how whole or organized they were.

Meanwhile there were many strange objects scattered around all over the place that you didn't know what they did...but you could clearly sense psi magics radiating from them.

What really drew your attention besides from the desk...was a chest. A single blank chest in front of the desk and you couldn't sense a thing from it. As if it weren't even there. If your eyes couldn't see the box you wouldn't believe it actually existed.

I kinda wanted the bitch because Bitches seem crazier and harder to understand/relate too (being a bloke and all) so I wanted the bitch partially yes because I think having a Bandit Bitch spirit hanging around could be funny but mostly because we can already relate to Bandit guys in a way. She's be our way of handling Bitches and possibly other women in general.

Also as we gather more our Bandit Bitch spirit could kick the other spirits into order if they slack off.

Use a recently dead Bitch because she'll have had a taste of the great dark and being dead and no one like that shit unless they are at peace...which I doubt a bitch would be. I can't think of someone being a more willing spirit to keep ruining peoples lives in death and refusing to move on as a Bitch?

Bandit Bitches are among the most evil women in the post apocalypse only ones who can rival them are the Corp Chicks.

Pre Fall Corp Chicks were still numbah 1 but were tied with Clanner chicks instead of criminal ones back then. You only really ran into the insanely scary corp chicks the higher up the megacorp chain you went the worse/more common it became. To the point where in the high ranks it was a given every female was the worst.

Fall screwed all that up. Selective pressures resulted in the corp chicks that would normally be common the higher up you went to start showing everywhere. Meanwhile the clans lost their tie and were replaced by bandit bitches.

Now in the post apocalypse the scariest women belong to the Bandits and Megacorp remnants.

So I wouldn't exactly suggest going the bandit bitch route unless you can handle the scary and blatant upfront evil. Corp chicks meanwhile are not as blatant and upfront about it as bandit bitches, but they make up for it sheer plotting and manipulation. They are more the type to stab you in the back instead of the front like a bandit bitch would. They both like their poisons though.

As much as women hate each other both bandit bitches and corp chicks grudgingly acknowledge each other as a worthy foe for the title 'scariest women in the post apocalypse'.

Wish I was joking.

In fact, all his classes are paramilitary/corp hybrid, and the only player civ we've seen with that is Maticio and FortiCo, which actually does make heavy use of cybernetics and bots...

He said back home everyone was obsessed with image, which fits all of Maticio's troops and people in general being bedecked in blinged out hand-carved masterwork power armor.

It would, in fact, appear to be so so much that I can't accept it because it seems too obvious.

I can't think of a halfway-sane spirit that would be more difficult to deal with, particularly as a long-term companion than a random Bitch. If things go wrong, a fate point would not ensure cooperation, it would prevent us getting possessed.

We already have our Witch Bis Sis. Between her and our masters, don't we have enough crazy of the female variety to deal with?

Were you around when we first visited a bandit camp? Even if you weren't, you were here for the introduction of She Devil Beatrice.

I do not believe we have a good chance of getting someone like that to like us. Even if we do, they're going to get pissed off at us, probably a lot.

How do you conclude that a Bitch would make an optimal long-term companion? Just...how?

>>871924
Really? I thought the "obsession with image" was the part that didn't make sense for Maticico. He said they were into keeping up appearances, i.e. not letting their evil show through.

Plenty of neat little trinkets. Turns out there is entire little boxes full of them. Your not sure what they do exactly. In particular you found one hidden box inside the desk which contained a fine selection of little trinkets. No idea what they all do and you do not know how exactly Mister Neutral managed to get so many of them.

After enjoying looking at all the pretty little trinkets like a little girl. You eventually gave up trying to figure them out and went to the psi house. Which turned out to be a building hidden in a dig site built into the earth and along a narrow dirt trail. That you first honestly thought was made of glass or plastic. But what turned out to be slabs of strange material and crystals growing on it. Including windows...made of crystal. Some which were different colors. Inside you saw a small group of bandits lounging around snorting crystals and smoking from a strange crystalline hookah.

When you asked about learning all they did was give you a line of crushed crystal and a hit from the hookah. After adding in that snort...you were long gone. Your mind taken to strange places until you felt like you were getting sucked in somewhere. There you found yourself...outside your body in the world...that now looked very different. It was much more dull outside few brilliant flashing or plenty of normal lights of varying degrees. Looking around you noticed the bandits were also there. A few had wandered off while the rest were sticking around. Apparently meditating or unleashing psionics.

You meanwhile were now very confused.

I like it. I like it a lot actually. I've been kind of thinking "Why can't we use psionics and magic to find treasure?"

Or why can't we peer into the Noosphere when we see something and try to determine if this thing we're looking at pings back as something valuable from someone in there.

Honestly besides everything looking much more drab there really isn't much a different except for the lights that are people and things. Maybe your missing something as is though honestly rather disappointing you so you decided to practice your powers. Magic as it turns out...you don't know how to get it to work in this place so no psi magics. While psionics was strangely enough much easier to perform.

Sadly the more you practiced the more you can feel yourself tugged back into your body. After awhile you slipped away entirely and awoke in the psi house.

You heard of this...food shark who you decide to visit. The food shark as it turned out was a mutant shark who served stews, noodles, grilled, fried, bread, pizza and barbecue. Hell he even had a questionable salad bar of produces and sauces. The food was surprisingly good and he always made it fresh if you asked otherwise there were ready to eat foods always available or so he claimed. So you enjoyed a bowl of questionable stew, salad, a loaf of bread, and some grilled meats on a skewer. You tried not to think about what might be in the food. Particularly when you saw the human flesh option. There weren't that many people and the 'restaurant' was placed near the bar and other places of work as well as residence.

For the deserts when you went back you enjoyed some pastries with ice cream which was served to you by a cute mermaid. Honestly the food wasn't half bad all things considered. Much fresher and a wider selection then you were expecting. Plus they both knew things.

The witch however you were not able to find...which is probably a bad thing knowing her she is no doubt causing trouble. Hopefully it wont involve you.

"So...what can you tell me of bandit culture," you asked the sharkman with his girlfriend the mermaid nearby. Honestly how the hell they ended up in this place is something you REALLY wanna ask...but the guy is big and scary looking as all hell.

"Bandit culture? Bandit culture varies from place to place...you got the prison, clan, outlaw, outcasts, and more. Bandit groups aren't all alike."

"So what about this group then?"

"Mister Neutral is a very strange guy...and a legitimately nice bandit which makes him so scary. You see you only get away with being nice as a bandit is if you can actually afford it. Bandits aren't nice so its the nice ones you gotta watch out for. Besides that this place is in truth really laidback. I mean you don't even see much infighting and the boys as well as bitches actually get along oddly well."

"That is considered strange?"

"When they aren't trying to screw over, kill, fight, or rape each other then yes. Usually its the sign of a particularly strong boss or well organized group. In this case its the former. Bitches here are actually oddly sweet but only to the guys here."

"So that is weird?"

"Of course it is. Bandits are a rough evil bunch...but your new here so don't expect the bitches to be nice to you and whatever you do DON'T Follow them. Even should they invite you somewhere...just don't."

"Why?"

"Imagine yourself as a hot young chick who wandered into bandit camp wearing a skirt saying 'fuck me' and a shirt with a bull's eye on it while obscenely drunk when a massive orgy party was going down and they were running low on pussy. That is what you are to bitches."

"What about boys?"

"So don't go with the bandit bitches lest I wanna get raped."

"Gang raped actually," corrects the shark man while his girlfriend nodded in confirmation.

"Most bitches like travelling in packs. Its rare to see them on their own and its those ones you especially gotta watch out for," explains the mermaid. "Those who go solo only do so because they can get away with it and prefer it that way. Basically they are especially dangerous. Bitch packs gotta share...but the solo ones don't. So they have...much less limitations to what they can do."

"...Fucking hell and that is this place which is supposedly nice and laidback?"

"It is. Out there is much worse. You should see what bitches are like in a female only warband. Like the banshees," says the Sharkman. "Plus they wont actually force you to go with them...so you know that IS actually quite sweet of them. They like volunteers."

"...There is no way there is anybody that stupid."

"You'll be surprised. Lotta guys vastly underestimate what a pack of bitches are like in the sack. Not to mention thinking they might be able to drag one somewhere for fun...bitches fight hard and most of them fight in groups. On the plus side if they like you enough they'll help protect you."

"...Really how does that fucking work?"

"If your a good fuck they wanna keep you around," explains the mermaid. "If a bandit bitch catches feelings for you...well she will make that painfully clear."

"How clear exactly?"

"Barrel of a gun to shoot both you should you try anything funny and other bitches who try to trespass."

"oh...wow. So uh what about male bandits then?"

"Meh its not that hard to invite a bitch for sex and its not like they hide their fetishes. Otherwise you got raiding and slaves. Hell even having a fetish for raping female bandits isn't hard just pick a fight with another bandit group or find a bitch who has that fetish. Now for feelings...well best be upfront about it. Bitches aren't the type to leave you hanging and will typically give a upfront answer lest the other boys decide to teach her a lesson for stringing a guy along."

"Oh so boys DO work together then?"

"Of course we do we just aren't obsessed with it like bitches are. As a lot of us like doing our own thing is all."

"Huh...I didn't think relationships would be so...well honest."

"Hey feelings happen even for bandits and if they feel the same way you form a couple. Should things get serious then you might get married."

"Bandits are the marrying type?"

"Bandit marriages is a alliance, agreement, and mutual defense pact all rolled up into one but on a personal level. It can be dissolved if one party should want it so but that is a good way to die very painfully should the feeling not be mutual. Marriage is serious business even among non Bosses."

Depends on the type. Learned Magi take the longest among the magi for instance. Psions it depends upon their specialty.

Psi Magi take forever without going MAD.

Necromancers seem to take awhile because of how insanely advanced their field of magic is. It takes awhile.

Witch is eating a multi class penalty and is chasing after specialties as well as fusions. Hence why she is taking awhile despite her supposed talent for necromancy.

>>872734
You decide to train in psi attempting to trigger physical manifestation. While tricky you were able to create a type of physical force that you could lob or shield yourself with it.

You realized something important...you have left the thickheaded witch for all this time alone in bandit town. Fuck.

So after asking the Food Shark where she might be you ran off.

She was not at the magic house.

Or bar.

You weren't allowed in the bitches barracks.

She wasn't at the clinic.

She wasn't at the arena.

She wasn't dead.

So you checked the guest quarters. There you found a naughty witch talking with a bunch of bitches...about how adorable and cute her junior apprentice is.

Oh no...this is even worse then you feared.

She is gonna get you raped!

"NNOOO-" you tried to get her to stop instead the oblivious witch catches you and says "See ain't he adorable?" Before stuffing your face in her boobs with a mighty hug. "MFHM" Luckily you soon broke free happy to note that not all the bitches were eyeing you. Lucky you...but some of them were eyeing the witch.

Shit.

"He isn't that cute too old and rugged," complains one bitch.

"I don't know...that rugged man look with all those scars...hm you girls just need to get a taste in REAL men," says one bitch eyeing you dangerously.

Fuck.

Right when you were about to grab the witch and run away. The witch spoke up.

"Yeah I know...but you see I can totally fix that! Make him young and cute again a old man never!" You desperately attempted to clamp the witches mouth shut with your hand.

"Oh...really? What about the scars? Does it work on women too," asks the bitches.

In response the witch nodded as she broke away. "I can totally fix the scars too! Cute boys for everyone and staying cute forever!"

Oh gods she is winning over a bunch of bitches...but for some reason they bitches are actually starting to give you both space. Holy shit...did she totally just save both your asses?

"So..." begins one horny bitch. "Do you have dibs on him?"

"Wha-no he is uh...just the cute and adorably young junior apprentice brother. Why?"

Oh no. Some of this bitches are looking at you hungrily again. Damn it witch your gonna get me gang raped.

"Oh you know since you have no dibs he is available right?"

"Yeah I think so, but he IS my junior apprentice brother you wanna get with him you gotta go through me!"

That made them pause. YES THE WITCH TOTALLY JUST SAVED YOUR....ASS? Come to think of it you don't know how bandit bitch rape works anyway...either way though YOUR SAVED!

"...What if its just sex?"

"Oh...well I guess that is fine no wait no harmi-actually nevermind he DID fuck that demon witch who did things. So you can do whatever you want. Just don't kill him kay and you gotta patch him up when your done!"

Damn it NOO...wait why aren't the bitches making their move?

"..."

Holy shit they are in shock. Now is your moment to run away! What the hell is she trying to tell them fuck. So you grabbed the witch and ran.

"...Did I really just hear that right," asks a bitch.

"Fuck you bitches he is STAYING the way he is! Losing all that rugged goodness fuck no."

"No FUCK YOU CUTENESS IS BETTER."

"Oh great here we go again," says a bandit boy on the outskirts as the bitches start to fight each other. "And it looks like the gay bitches left after that witch...well except for the ones not into busty chicks anyway."

Meanwhile a short distance away.

"DAMN IT WITCH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY ALL OF THAT," you complain why running very fast.

"What? We were getting along just fine!"

"FUCK No you weren't. Barely just a short step away from getting gang raped by a bunch of horny bitches."

"Wait really? I just passed up an all woman orgy? Fuck I haven't had one of those in forever," complains the witch slowing down. Which was when you realized the bitches were gaining on you.

"IT WOULD OF BEEN RAPE. RAPE IS NO FUN!"

"Who says it ain't my fetish?" Pouts the witch.

"IT WOULD OF BEEN ACTUAL RAPE NOW RUN."

"Why?"

"I DON'T WANT US TO GET RAPED AND ITS BAD RAPE OKAY? NOT THE GOOD FETISH KIND!"

"OH...right that would be no fun." Now the witch started to run properly.

"Damn it they are closing in...shit wait aren't we under Mister Neutral's guests and thus protection? QUICK TO THE BOSS'S PLACE!"

Fortunately you made it there barely in time you threw both yourselves inside...and you could hear the bitches slowing down as they approached. When you looked up you were surprised to see a certain She-Devil sitting on the lap of Mister Neutral...being sweet. Good god the Food Shark wasn't joking.

This image is even more terrifying then she shooting her own guy in cold blood.

"Ah," notices Beatrice as she sees the bitches encroaching. "Get lost! These are our guests...isn't that right N?"

"...Uh yup. Totally," says N with sweat dripping down his neck from underneath his helmet.

The bitches left...in a huff after giving strangely the witch one last look but not yourself.

"Ah...guests should not tempt the bitches. They are a bunch of feral wild dogs and your like a bunch of juicy bloody meat," says Beatrice as she gets off Mister Neutral's lap.

Which causes him to sigh a breath of relief before saying. "Your quarters are right over there. If you wanna get laid don't go directly to the bitches. Yes everyone here is clean but that is just stupid. Let them come to you and choose who you wish to enjoy. Simple. Even if your gay."

"Really?" says the witch perking up.

"...Lesbian witch? I swear I would be more surprised to find out if you were straight," mutters Mr N.

"Bi actually," corrects the Witch. "I can just more easily enjoy women without having to worry. So I do simple."

"Sounds like my kinda girl," speaks Beatrice as she approaches.

Man i give up trying to find evil lady in a dress. Too many good ones to choose from for Beatrice. Surprisingly enough Beatrice was actually wearing a dress. Apparently having changed since she got back.

"Ooh you too?"

"Yes...so is he yours?" she asks looking in your direction.

"What no I am just his senior apprentice."

"So no dibs then?"

"Wait dibs?"

"...You get first shot."

"First shot?"

"...You get a chance to make him yours before anyone else has that chance."

"Oh...well technically as magi of the same institute and fellow apprentice I do indeed get dibs in that case."

"Ah so...why aren't you? I mean he is right there."

"...Men are not for fun besides we don't know each other that well. He may be cute and adorable but not all that yet."

"Doesn't mean you can't fuck."

"That is for fun and with women. No problem that way."

"So...you are going to waste your dibs then?"

"Why rush?"

"Because other women that is why you thickheaded woman. You think a bunch of cunts are gonna give you that chance?"

"Uh...well good thing he is working with a bunch of bots no pussy around."

"Really now? You think he is always gonna be there? Where are you NOW? You think a bunch of bitches aren't gotta steal him away? What do think we are bunch of chaste zealot maidens?"

"...Is Beatrice actually trying to get me laid," you mutter in shock of what is going on before you.

"Possibly," states Mister Neutral. "She may not look it but she has quite the romantic book collection and films."

"Wait that she-devil of all things is a romantic? How do you know this?"

"...I have seen terrible terrible things. Somehow when I aimed to recruit someone like her i managed to nab the ONE romantic. Fucking bad luck I tell you and that is even before she got into her head that I was the non gay guy she didn't mind. That somehow turned into liking...and yeah."

"Wow you poor bastard."

"Ah its not all bad. No longer get hit on back home when she is around in exchange though I get stuck with...well that."

"Might as well bang an actual demon at that point man."

"Yeah but if I did I would lose my soul too."

"That...makes a lot of sense actually. Gotta say your quite the bad ass. Not many dudes would be willing to stick their dick in that on a regular basis much less once."

"Yeah how did you think I became a bad ass?"

"...No."

"I went around fucking a bunch of bitch bosses and lived."

"...You are a fucking madman. If not foolish or brave one. You sure you aren't crazy?"

"Well I had to become a bad ass somehow and fighting really wasn't my forte."

"...It ain't mine either. So...I gotta fuck a bunch of boss bitches to become a bad ass?"

"Not just fuck. You gotta live afterwards too. Otherwise it wont do you any good. So do you have feelings for the witch?"

"...A little bit, but fucking hell is that woman trouble. Tried to get me gangraped earlier."

We could perhaps call for AMY and use the Imitator Matrix on our bike to assist in this.

The witch is currently...otherwise engaged(getting laid). Very loudly I might add. Very mutual sounding too.

Which meant you got stuck waiting until she finished which was faster then you expected given the sounds you thought it might take while. But both later emerged irritable Beatrice in combat gear and disappointed witch. After grabbing the witch killing your skeletons and grabbing the bots you fled back to base. Luckily the bots do not tire and Amy had brought the Bike.

So you made ground quickly as you ran all the way back to boss. Who was annoyed about you being gone for not very long and returning...especially with the witch in tow.

"Oh what is it now," asks the Shrouded One.

"So...I sorta have a thing for troublesome and dangerous pieces of ass. Also I may have fucked a demon witch and the bandit bitches found out above all of it."

"...Please tell me your joking?"

"Afraid not."

"...You...are THE WORST."

"HAhAHAHAHAH," meanwhile Andy was laughing in the corner. "I think...I think you need to give in and hook him up boss."

"...hah. Your lucky I know exactly what to do."

HEROIC ABILITY ACTIVATED.

"I have a group of loyalists...who are also meatbags from the days of my exile. For reasons we separated and you are going to join them up with them...as a bandit."

"...What? WHY?"

"The last place they'll look is among bandits and these guys I trust...also you can...'enjoy' yourself," shivers the Shrouded One. "With the women there. There you will however learn to fight properly. They are a bunch of outlaws paramilitary originally but I have heard they have since...expanded beyond that. Discipline is important however. Becoming bandits hasn't completely made them lose their edge even if they recruit those who aren't as professional as they are."

"You will leave with a caravan..."

"What about the witch?"

"No."

"but..."

"NO. That woman has been nothing but trouble! She is the one who got you into this trouble...I will send her back to my girlfriend to deliver a message. With you gone that solves a problem of theirs."

"But...I like the witch."

"Which is the problem you fool. You will depart with a caravan I will arrange to supply them, deliver as message to Captain Cull, and you are not to reveal your psi magi status. I will give you some modified power armor, some tech, and other bandit weaponry. Your identity will be a Looter. You will not scavenge you will fight. You may reveal yourself as a magi or a psion but not both. Only later when they have 'earned' your trust."

"You will leave now."

"Now?"

"Yes."

"As in...right now?"

"Yes. Enjoy your trip and leave your stuff here. I too will be making a move...this was always a temporary location. Next we meet will be a grand reunion as it will not just be you rejoining me."

That was how you were escorted away, stripped down taking a 'special' bath to remove trackers, and thrown in the back of a truck that proceed to rumble away.

Rolled 26 (1d100)

>>874423
You ended up falling asleep mostly because the truck never stopped even at night. You were awoke however by the sounds of fighting. Looking outside you could see raiders were attacking the convoy. Things weren't looking good given their number...but then bots rumbled out of APCs. High grade military bots at that and even giant bots. Tanks meanwhile fired as well as other weapons. It was a big fight...one that was on the move, eventually the bandits were driven away.

So you fell asleep...and when you awoke you groggily realized something wasn't right. There was a warm body next to you and these boobs...you didn't know these pair of boobies. As you awoke you noticed...a bandit in a mask looking down at you.

Fuck.

"Enjoyed my tits did you," asked the bandit bitch?

"...They were very nice and comfy."

"Very good. So you are the messenger for Captain Cull yes?"

"Indeed...So you wont might if I stay this way right?"

"Nope."

"...huh. Usually..."

"What you think I am uptight," says the bitch getting hostile.

"No no of course not...just usually temporary."

"Boobs are meant to be enjoyed. Along with nice asses, faces, and crotches. Really the body in general. You think you were the only one enjoying this? I enjoyed a handsome, naked scarred rugged man."

Oh wow your still nude...you never noticed thanks to the body heat and blanket not to mention this strange situation.

"...So I guess your the one who covered me up then?"

"Yup. You think I was gonna share? Hell no."

Oh great she is one of those solo bandit bitches you were told to be especially worried about.

"So...you didn't uh...do anything to me while i was asleep?"

"Nah I like them awake and aware. Screaming and begging...nah just fucking with you. Hah the look on your face...priceless."

Oh crap...you nearly shit a brick.

"So...nothing is going to happen then?"

"Hear no. Afraid not we are business you see. No fucking around allowed now when we get back..." she gets brushes up against your crotch. "Is when we can have some proper fun!"

"...Uh...okay your...i hope your attractive."

"Nah I am lesbian. Your for my sister."

"You...can't tell if she is fucking with you or not given the helmet.

"..."

"...Really?"

"Would a lesbian be here right now? Fucking hell your no fun."

"Actually there was this one chick who like a guy...but hated everyone else and preferred women."

"Oh one of those types huh..."

"They aren't rare?"

"Nope. demented vile creatures? Very. If they were lesbians everything would be much simpler but they ain't. They like to rape men and steal boys. Sadly they are just a single flavor of bandit bitch."

"Flavors?"

"Its safe to assume we are all evil fucks in the end. You really are green aren't you?"

"Afraid so."

"hm...well in that case you should either stick it out with a single bitch as a boy toy, manwhore among multiple bitches, or go gay."

"Any other options?"

"Your green I wouldn't suggest much."

"Did I fuck you voluntary or no?"

"...Isn't this awfully uh lewd?"

"Just because I am uptight bitch doesn't mean I don't like some eye candy and consider the boobs as repayment."

"...Your a weird one."

"I get that a lot. Aren't you also a weird one? Being with all those bots?"

"...Guess we are both weird then."

"Indeed."

"You really do have nice tits by the way. Not the kind that does their best to kill you but the comfy kind."

"I do get that a lot."

"Really?"

"I wasn't lying about my sister. She uses them as a pillow all the time. I am quite used to it and she also insists they are amazingly comfy."

"So what is she like?"

"Well since you brought up the dating a non bandit...I think that might be whats up with her."

"Really?"

"I sure hope so. Its a pain in the ass beating off bitches and boys all the fucking time. Worst part is that other girls too started to hide behind me like my sister. I got an entire collection..."

"Hah. So your a protective big sis type huh?"

"Afraid so."

"Sounds like you really need to get laid."

"I get that a lot too but if I do so the girls will get afraid and probably due something stupid. So I don't."

"...Alright I gotta admit it your the weirdest bitch I encountered yet."

"What?"

"Be such a good protective big sis...how ARE you a bandit of all things?"

"Friend's father was a pedophile but he was important. She killed herself because she got pregnant from him. After that her younger sisters were in peril because she offered herself up to protect them. Last thing she asked me before she died was to protect her sisters. So I killed him...slowly and every other worthless in the entire town I knew about."

"...Holy shit...why did she ask you?"

"...My eldest sister did the same thing but it was our uncle when she was older. Father dead and mother passed. We moved in with him. I poisoned him after...seeing what happened one night and with his threats with what would happen to us if she didn't comply...which she always did even as she cried and then went silent. Went to a nearby witch for poison to do it with. only told my good friend. My eldest sister was the never same after that...became a literal whore and everything. Our youngest sister never knew about why she changed like that...never told her. When I left after the killing spree I took her with me along with a baby that was my sister's before she passed from childbirth complications."

My sister's baby didn't end up making it...not uncommon to die from sickness when your young still. I hear only the remnants are able to avoid that what with all their fancy tech. Tried with the Dok who unexpectedly didn't charge me in the attempt. Said it ain't right to charge for that sorta thing. Second time I encountered great and unexpected kindness among the bandits...first time was when they took us in without complaint or harm. Younger sister still alive thankfully but there were some close calls...she wants to become a Dok. Guess losing her nephew and older sister hit her real hard like that."

We'll need to hide a lot of our story.
I think we should tell them what we know of our past pre-memory wipe, but leave out the parts about us being a psion.

I also think we should go with psi. For one thing just being psi has already drawn the wrong kind of attention, it'd be better if they knew we have a zombie stalker.
Also I think it's easier to practice subtly, good because we don't want everyone to know about it.

Zombies and undead are actually different things, and we don't have to actually use psi for it to attract smart zombies.
Necromancy also tends to attract the undead, and a novice like us can't do much to control them.

I kinda agree with you there, but we know there is a psi zombie coming for us. They shown them selves once. They will likely come knocking with a stronger horde next time. I think it would best we are open on the psi so we can learn control quicker and mask our presence before we have to go at it again.

Although the idea of some how talking to the psi zombie and try to shift their goal would be funny. Like o hey zombie want to join my skele bros and go on an adventurer.

You do not remember it correctly but the guy wasn't that clear either.

I'm of the opinion that it's probably best we stick with the necromancer route. It allows us to practice in that field that we've got a whole bunch of books and shit for while we're out fighting.

>>875114
We don't have a whole bunch of books and shit, we're going undercover without our equipment remember?

The plan is to stick with necromancy, but we have to choose between that OR psi for now. And we really need practice with both. I'm saying if we practice psi, it'll be easier to keep it a secret from everyone we don't trust enough to tell we're a mage or a psion.

Now he sent me out here with you guys to learn how to fight (if I ever knew then the mindwipe took care of that) and I didn't particularly feel like picking a fight with him/her over it so here I am.

>>875124
Bandits love magi, and forbidden magics. It's not really a problem if they know we do magic or do psi it's just a problem if we do both.

So keeping that in mind it's actually better to publicly do magic because we can keep our psi-training better under wraps.

Rolled 80 (1d100)

>>875129
Bandits love psions too!

Mostly because psions would much rather NOT look into the mind of a bandit! Hence the big fears of psions is significantly lessened with bandits. Its also why persocuted psions will often go to bandits. Bandits have a thing for recruiting outcasts because of how fucked up they not even psions would wanna go poking around in their head. And for a good reason.

The only reason they don't like psi magi much is because often many of them go MAD. As much as bandits appreciate the FUN that is MADNESS they are smart enough to realize too much MAD is a bad thing. Also because all the bandits who didn't destroyed themselves when MADNESS finally backfired on them.

Shrouded One sent you far away to a place that is distant and removed any connection of who you are. Just to be safe also instructed to keep your psi and magic on a down low for awhile before revealing it.(only one however as psi magi is very rare without going MAD).

Shrouded One wants you to improve which will attract attention but so long as there isn't anything connecting you to the old you(and waiting a bit just to be safe) believes it should be safe.

Shrouded One isn't stupid and even used a heroic ability just to make sure.

Your not sure about the bandit bitch but when you looked outside you can see you are now in some ruined cityscape. You also see some new vehicles have joined the caravan...bandit rides from the looks of it.

After driving a bit further you find the caravan is slowing down as it moves past some bandit barricades. Finally stopping in the middle of a street as the bots hop out and yourself included as Vale throws your gear at you before hopping out.

Once you got dressed and exited you can see that crates are being taken out and some of the vehicles are being led away. As you sorta stood there a bandit boss approached who was being led by Vale.

"So...your the guy huh? Letter let me see it."

So you passed it over and after reading it he looked back up at you.

"Only some of guys know about your mysterious supplier...fewer still having ever met that one. So do your best to keep quiet about that and how our supplier isn't in truth our backer. It tells me in this letter your not that great a fighter but agile and with something Special is that right?"

"Afraid so."

"Fine to the bootcamp it is with you. So let me go over your options real quick. As a survivor you can likely pick up a survivor combat class easy enough. Problem is they ain't that strong. Your other option is to take up a bandit class. So long as its not higher then your other non bandit class its easy to hide otherwise you'll need some stealth skills to keep it suppressed. The last option is to go the wanderer route and their...own strange means of classification. Not much is known about them but hey we DO know they can be a mighty strong bunch. So what will it be?"

"Very well Slate Stone."

You decide to try the wandering adventurer path. After telling Captain Cull Vale led you to the bootcamp. To be more precise the only guy running solo who was there.

"That guy...is also one who met the Man in a suit. He just kept on wandering consorting with bandits and worse in the attempt to find out more. Unlike you he never settled and wanted to know what truly happened. What he was like...who was responsible."

"Well well if it isn't Vicious Vale...who is he?"

"Slate. He wants to do what you did."

"Really now? You sure he has potential?"

"Captain Cutter says so...and I too happen to believe there is a surprising amount of similarity between the two of you."

"Oh...is that so? Fine lets see what you can do."

That was how you were forced to shot different guns on stationary targets, moving targets, and things trying to kill you that are 'target practice'. After that he forced you to run through a place with many different kinds of terrain which you did wonders in. Barely slowing down as you got passed all the obstacles. Finally after that you were put in melee training against bots and bandits. Both armed and unarmed. He even had you use throwing weapons and practice grenades.

"Hm...so you might have some potential after all...especially as a Ranger."

"Ranger?"

"Lightly armored but deadly fast and quick. They know how to range far and wide. Never know when you'll run into one of them."

"Any other picks?"

"I could sense you had some special potentials each could offer you a different avenue should you follow this path. Besides that you could also become a Treasure Hunter given your looting and scavenger training. Should you get tribal survival training too you could even become a great scavenge sage or even something else entirely."

"Outside of that there is also one more pick..."

"Which is?"

"A Lost."

"A Lost?"

"Yes. I am one of those myself but I do know enough about the rest to at least help you guide yourself to that point. SO what would it be?"

After that you were let go and were freed from the bootcamp for the time being. You are however required to come again and again every day until the Drillmaster gives you permission to not to anymore.

I like the Treasure Hunter option, but we're here to learn how to fight (although if it's enough of a combat class to qualify, or if we can learn it in addition...)
Lost sounds rather sinister. And lonely.
Ranger sounds good, and if it wouldn't synergize with tribal stuff, I bet it's at least close enough to be on friendly terms with them.

Then there's the special potentials, but we're trying to keep those on the down-low at the moment even though I'd normally jump at a chance to train them.

Class is still undecided but Ranger appears to be in the lead.

After wandering around a bit(but mostly following your nose) you eventually find the place which served food. Which turned out to be a large cafeteria serviced by slaves and the odd bandit. There you lined up with other bandits before getting served a mixture of veggies, meats, and bread. Drinks were what smelled like to be some kind of booze mixed with juice, water, or soda. Your pick apparently.

After getting your food you sat down with some other bandits with whom your introduced yourself as a looter. The armor you noted did a good job as keeping other magi and psi bandits from noticing anything strange. According to the bandits you sat down with everyone has to raid. If you have skills then you just raid less then the others.

After asking them a bit about the food and places to crash. They told you a bed will be available in the barracks for free. Otherwise it costs loot to get an apartment. Food...is well what you have before you. At dinner and breakfast they have desert options included which is typically fruit and or pastry based. This food according to the bandits is provided for free.

If your willing to pay you can get much nicer drinks at the Cafe or eats at the 24 hour diner.

Entertainment wise you have the arena, bar, drugs, theater that plays old shows/movies sometimes plays, and sex as provided by your fellow bandits or slaves. They would suggest saving loot firstly for sex so as to not catch anything. Otherwise you'll have to enjoy a visit to Doks which can get pricey if you keep being a cheap dick.

After eating the food which turned out to not be nearly as bad as you thought just a bit plain at worst. The drink on the other hand...your not sure how the hell the bandits can chug this stuff down so easily. It even gave your nanites trouble to deal with. You got up and left.

A Lost is a special Class that is an option due to the wanderer angle and you having amnesia.

Hence why the guy was also able to take it(and chose it).

I was more leaning towards what it specializes in, since I have some idea of what a Ranger is (D&D, Shadowrun, Rifts, etc) but I have no idea what the focuses or specialties of a Lost are.

People keep mentioning a Genie-verse, but this is my first thread group, so I have no background information.

Rolled 22 (1d100)

>>877431
I have no idea what the Lost do either. I'd actually be surprised if it's been covered before, due to there not being much direct interaction with wanderers in previous games. Probably some heroes had wanderer classes, but we don't normally get the details on that.

Guess we'll just have to ask the Lost guy himself to tell us more.

Lost is a mysterious type who well...are truly Lost hence the name. They are very mysterious...even to themselves.

Rangers are the wanderers of the lands. They can be found anywhere and everywhere.

Really their name is pretty self explanatory. They are an odd bunch given their love of even the hardest of foes and most difficult of terrain. They are little known because of that same reason as well.

Everyone has heard of the Ranges but very little is actually known about them.

Rolled 39 (1d100)

>>877535
It has never been covered before and the only reason you get that option is due to amnesia.

>>877354
You decide to train at the bootcamp. There you learn to shoot better and combat in melee. They didn't bother putting you through the obstacle course due to how insanely good you are at it.

You learned how to better shoot with SMGs, pistols, and shotguns with closer targets.

You were taught how to use middle range weaponry like assault rifles and machine guns.

Finally you got some long range weapon training with stuff like sniper rifles. What was impressive was the number of bandits who were in truth quite skilled in each.

In melee combat you were given axes, swords, knives, clubs, and unarmed to practice with. First against dummies, then training bots, and finally other bandits. You never actually made it to the other bandits part. As you practiced against dummies and training bots who in truth are much more difficult opponents to face then you had anticipated.

Target practice meanwhile had fake targets, moving, and even flanks as well as ones coming from both above and below. After practicing you realized your aim and combat reflexes are in truth rather lacking.

Which was full of monsters who were slowly waking up.

So after that you went a building only to find out it was crawling with undead...

So after that you went to yet ANOTHER fucking build that turned out to be inhabited by bandits.

Fucking hell.

Fortunately the next building you found...while full of dangers from the sounds of it is not outright infested with anything in particular. So you carefully made your way floor by floor bypassing wander hostiles as you finally got a good look at the top of the building. See the sunset over a city that surrounded a bay of water. You could see lights here and there in the city. Some entire sections were even lit up. Especially as night set in...and you could hear things that went bump in the night start crawling out of their hidey holes as they go on the prowl.

Including unfortunately the building you are currently in...you can hear them approaching.

I suspect anything other than skeletons or zombies is too advanced for us. Meaning trying to do something else will likely get us nothing and waste precious time.

I see what you're saying, but to be honest we only barely animated those skeletons with the Bone Rod, which we no longer have, and also i don't think there are any corpses or bones lying around to animate either.

Attempt to animate some undead, preferably immaterial ones but we'll take what we can get if there's something nearby that has a higher likelihood to succeed.

Wait for something else to make the first move on us, unless we can clearly tell we're about to be attacked. Find a reasonably defensible position to hold out in, preferably with an escape route.

Should we fail in summoning undead, or if an opportunity presents itself, attempt to use Mental Treachery to dominate something that attempts to attack us and make it fight for us. Upon its expiration attempt to use necromancy to raise it to fight for us again.

Further whether we raise undead or use the living we should buff them with whatever spells we know that would help. We have a basic understanding of necromancy and that should include some blood or bone boosting spells we could use.

Rolled 50 (1d100)

Its a holy number among the Magi.

1 is a holy number among the psions.

0 is a holy number for both of them.

1 is unlucky number among Magi.

meanwhile 8 and 88 is considered unlucky among psions.

>>880612
Something like that.

Things that deal with infinity/many are held by high esteem among the magi and loathed by psions.

Meanwhile things that relate to Oneness is held by an high esteem by the psions but loathed by the magi.

0 Interestingly enough is something both can agree on liking. A LOT. It was one of the only concepts they appreciated learning about from each other.

Lost is an amazingly class because of its ability to hybridize and fuse without penalty. Its one of the weirdest yet strongest perks of the class.

You see multiclassing you eat a penalty.

That penalty goes away however should you successfully FUSE it with another class creating a Hybrid.

Fusion is however difficult and Hybrid classes have their own problems but they are not as severe as if they were separate multiclass. Sometimes if you get lucky fusing different classes results in an entirely NEW class that removes ALL penalties and offers special bonuses.

Lost also has other interesting potential...

I could talk more about how magi and psion see that kinda stuff but then we would end up going into some deep philosophy bullshit.

Most don't realize it given how they specialize in magic and psionics respectively but in truth both actually have a surprisingly well founded philosophic base. It was considered VERY important that one learns some philosophy. Even if it didn't come up much with others(which it typically didn't even among others of their kind they typically preferred discussing their specialties first before delving into philosophy). While it isn't obviously their main focus it was an activity that they put quite a bit of thought into.

They both basically viewed philosophy as food for the soul and their magics/psi for food to the mind.

Their philosophic works are rather different from our own as they were based upon what they noticed with their abilities and the traditions that gradually formed over the paths that were taken over generations.

The philosophies that were formed with different traditions helped explain and teach their followers about critical concepts. In truth imagine as magic/psi being the ground work...and then the philosophy is the framework built on top of it. After that the rest is filled in with study, practice, and experience.

The resulting structure is the Magi/Psion.

That is how important philosophy is because it teaches vital concepts, how to think(not WHAT to think),critical discoveries, and so on.

But then it too starts to split and change into different schools of thought. Those schools of thought in turn helped support and establish a means of psi/magic where people would follow. Build upon it with their own discoveries and experiences so on...

Thus why despite there being only ONENESS with psi you can encounter many different schools of thought with what they think and how they use it.

This is also true with the Magi. Thereby resulting in a amazing variety of concepts, teachings, and different ways of usage.

Most think its the scientific like concept that resulted in the psi and magi being developed but that is at best...only somewhat true. The other biggest thing was philosophy, discovery, path forging, idea sharing, working together, and so on.

The magi and psions are in truth more akin to philosopher scientists of differing traditions/culture with a fetish for exploration is the best way to describe them.

Philosophy wise shit gets complicated and frankly I can't say I did a particularly good job about it but the core tenants I have mostly figured out. Figuring it out was such a pain in the ass.

Not to mention I have a hard time explaining it properly because frankly it really is rather complicated. They had way way too much time designing their philosophies, perfecting their ways, forming their traditions/pathways, and experimentation/discovery.

TLDR

Genie has the core tenants down and a little stuff figured out for the philosophies among magi/psions but everything else is fucked.

When you get down to the Oneness and Infinity...there are a fuck ton ways to look at it. All those ways in turn combined with experience and teachings passed down create paths that people tread which in turn become Traditions.

....There can be a fuck ton of traditions that built up over time and they each utilize things differently as well as having their own specialties, focuses, and weaknesses.

It gets complicated.

Don't even get me started on the bullshit that is Psi Magi and the concept of Nothingness.

non real worlds aren't suppose to have their own well founded philosophies and traditions...its such a headache. For you being a psi magi the Concept of Nothingness holds a very important Key. Have fun figuring it out!

You thought back to the books you read on necromancy, the undead you met, and what a certain naughty witch told you about. You recalled the experience of the deathly psi crystal. You even thought about the feelings of necromancy...as you attempted to unleash your powers you felt your psi tremble and shatter beneath the pressure...but not before creating a signal for the magic to follow.

You weren't entirely sure what happened as you felt overwhelming magical energies be unleashed...but not much from you but rather the surroundings. The death and decay. The ruins and corpses...the entire world really. You caught a glimpse of something...and you guided the magical energies to suite your will.

You recalled the psi crystal with its thoughts of the dead...and how the spirits of the dead still exist. You thought of despite not having any bodies...you should be able to call them over yes? To bring them into your service? To serve under you Will? To ask for their assistance...

Yet at the same time you felt a strange tugging of the bones of corpses with little to no flesh, broken or unbroken. To the ruins of the old world decaying but still sometimes serviceable...honestly you weren't entirely sure what happened.

One moment you were trying to cast a spell desperately before the enemy came and the next you were only a weird fucking trip. Yet somehow it had results...

you could feel Will and Spirits come together.

You could feel Bones and Ruin come together.

You could feel Death and Life become one as Necromancy.

You could sense the Broken and Unbroken by Death itself.

You could feel the ruins and corpses sing together!

You were only taken out of your revelry when you felt a bitter coldness that even shook your soul. You could taste bone dust and old building rot. Your skin was feeling increasingly dirty yet cold. When you opened your eyes...you saw it. You could hear strange rumbling like rubble and bone smashing into each other. While at the same time a distant wailing and whispering.

A pile of bones both unbroken and not yet broken were coming together with ruined piles of rumble. Fusing together...into something else entirely.

>>880842
Infinite is not considered sacred except in only the most heretical of psi teachings(also Psi magi but they are a bunch of filthy freaks who sought to make Oneness and Infinity join).

You gotta be aware they focus towards to very different concepts. Psions ultimately realized they were all tapping into the same thing and the magi realized the infinite variety of magics.

So their teachings/philosophies divulged massively but they had some very interesting discussions related to the role of 0 and Nothingness. It was very common for psions and magi to get into heated debates relating to philosophy because they couldn't discuss their work. They actually had a surprisingly good knowledge of each other's philosphies but good luck getting them to admit to such.

Meanwhile up in the air you could not only hear the whispering and wails but see it too. As spirits of the dead came materializing and awareness infusing them throughout. An unholy ever burning will you could sense surrounded by a ethereal 'body' of coldness from Death's chill.

Eventually the two new...undead finished forming. One you could hear a multitude of voices and powerful wills shackled together wailing and whispering. Even as they conceded to your control...for now. You could tell this one was gonna be trouble.

The other meanwhile rose up as a hulk of bone and rubble. You did not detect an entire horde of fighting wills and spirits in this one...instead you sensed a strange subdued stillness and sickly sweet scent of decay. Which was strange given what it was made of. In its many eye sockets however you could see something...flicker within. A strange unholy earthy yet deathly fire it contained within.

"So...what are two things exactly," you asked knowing that they are both intelligent.

"I am a Spirit Swarm of Awakened Ghosts of the Dead," wails the floating storming spirits that constantly fought among themselves and to break out of...whatever was keeping them together forcefully.

"I am a bones of corpses and ruins," explains the massive hulk.

"...Something more then that?"

"We do not know what you would call us."

Became Green Necromancer.

Gained 1 Smart Dead Spirit Swarm. Green.
Gained 1 Bones of Death and Ruin. Green.

Now that has been cleared up...good news is whatever was originally coming your way was scared off by the magic show. Bad news is you don't know what is gonna be attracted by said magic show.

What do?

My computer went to shit. I had it there with anon's copy of Genie System that I had explained over again to make sure anons had some of the important details.

So...that happened.

I would suggest riding the Bones of Death and Ruin, but I've no idea where to. Going towards any sort of visible civilization with those two would send the wrong impression.

>Take a closer look at your new...undead
When in doubt, try to gain more information.

Rolled 82 (1d100)

>>880947
Correction names are

Awakened Dead Spirit Swarm(holy shit you never would of got this without double 88s)

...Still trying to figure out a good name for the other one. I sorta had them listed as spirits/golem things but had it crossed out and to keep working on a better name.

Basically its made up of bones of the dead and rumble from ruins to create a very special undead hybrid. Technically not a golem but very VERY easily mistaken for one.

Foes wish it was technically a golem because of how nasty they are. They are however...extremely difficult to create and hence rare. Its not easy to get bones and ruins to fuse properly even with very powerful necromancy.

The bone guy is actually much more rare then the spirits.

The spirit swarm meanwhile is very...difficult to control. Much less if you threw in its Awaken status which greatly ramps up how hard it is control.

Mostly because its quite literally an entire swarm of angry dejected undead spirits who are forced together into one unholy mixed whole. If you Awaken them they become even stronger and smarter at the cost of being even much harder to control.

Such swarms while tricky to make aren't super difficult. What IS super difficult is controlling them. Necromancers are fond of trapping them in areas to serve as a very...effective 'deterrent'.

Its not fun getting swarmed by an entire goddamn horde of undead spirits. Not fun at all!

I tend to agree with purple ID anon. We should keep it...however I also agree with you that we should hearken to the ways of the Old Necromancers and reach an understanding with it.

Even if that understanding sums up to "Look buddy, I'll do you (as a group) some favors and in return whenever I lose control of you just dematerialize or run away or whatever as long as you don't harm me directly or cause me to be harmed indirectly/directly.
