Welcome anons, one and all, to the long-overdue /qst/ waifu and husbando tournament(s)... or, as I'm going to call them, The KING & QUEEN OF /QST/! In this and upcoming threads, we're going to decide which character is the best boy and greatest girl in all of our weird little art commune.

>Who died and put you in charge?
Hey, someone's gotta' do it.

>What are the rules?
This is going to be run it as a round robin. It would be 2.5 months at one match-up per thread per day (though I'd probably take a day off now and then), if I run the King and Queen tourneys concurrently in two separate threads.

It will largely be a popularity contest, but each match-up will also have an 'event', and the character who can most persuasively be argued to be advantaged in that event will receive a 1d6-vote bonus, which I'll roll when I tally the votes This will add that vital spice of randomness, excitement, and interactive storytelling that makes these threads actually allowed on the board.

I'm going to take a month or so for a preliminary 'qualification and submission' thread to see which characters participate, and then to commission the initial art. My eligibility criteria would be that a character:

>1. cannot have been a contender in the previous tourneys (though the quest CAN have been; just not that specific character); these can be seen at https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2021/4999756/ and https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2022/5090023/
>2. must be from a quest which has either wrapped up OR has at least 3 threads and hasn't been flaked on (yet, kek)
>3. must be an original character, not from an existing multimedia property; Karn is allowed, Son Goku is not
>4. must have some art of them for the commissioned artist to reference; any art is fine, but be aware that the more detailed/accurate, the better your portrait will be (if we raise sufficient funds for portraits)
>5. maximum of one character per tourney for any given quest; you can have one Queen entered and one King entered, but not two Queens or Kings
>6. non-gendered characters can be submitted to either, but only to one or the other, not both
>>
>>5961634
I'm going to start each thread off with a five-day period for people to register consistent/stable IPs, and begin voting afterwards, with non-backlinked 1-post IDs not counted. For this qualification thread, I encourage everyone to make your submission and register your stable IPs.

We'll hold votes next week on who gets in, and subsequently discuss the characters (shitposting and volunteered art by drawfriends encouraged) and come up with events.

If you'd like the thread to have any art, please check out and contribute what you can to https://gofund.me/1acbccb0. If we get at least halfway to the goal, I'll commission art for the Queen tourney. If we hit the full goal, I'll commission it for the King tourney as well. If we surpass the goal, I'll sue any excess to upgrade to colour art, get art of some of the participants interacting, or get other goodies to celebrate the occasion.

>Wait, you want MONEY??
You don't need to donate anything. It's optional. I've already commissioned the first two pieces of art (See the header) and will commission at least two more, but I'd really rather not be out-of-pocket hundreds of dollars.

>Why should we trust you?
I'm using my secure trip, under which I've commissioned and posted probably a grand or two in art for my own long-running series of quests over three years. I've also commissioned a few hundred bucks of art for other QMs. While I know not everyone likes me and some people here probably want me to get the proverbial rope, I'd like to think I have a reputation for being reliable and reasonably polite. You don't HAVE to trust me or donate anything, but I genuinely just want to celebrate our board.

>I don't like how you're running this!
Should've done it yourself, then. In fact, I encourage you to do so, next time! But this time, it is what it is. Remember: it's ultimately just for fun.
>>
>>5961635
As for the nomination, in addition to art you should provide:

>1. a link to their quest in suptg or archived.moe, or to their current thread
>2. a brief description of who the character is and what they're about
>3. three likes and three dislikes
>4. a special talent or fun fact
>5. a weakness, fear, or dark secret
>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown

Anyone can nominate a character, but only one each. Nobody knows a character better than the QM, though, and these threads flourish with QM input and participation, so if you're nominating someone's character, be sure to mention it to the QM in their thread or by other means!

As an example of a nomination, I'll put forth one of my own:

Persephone Cross
>Quest
Path of the Exorcist, by Moloch
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Path%20of%20the%20Exorcist

>Description
A member of the main team of exorcists, spiritual authorities and soldier-priests, Persephone snarky, shallow, preening, and cowardly, and a terrible gossip.

Much of this seems to be an act, though, meant to conceal her own coldly-burning passion for the pursuit of a legendary city... The same pursuit which gifted her a magical moth spirit and led to the icy obliteration of her childhood home and all the people therein.

Her air of detachment and apathy shatters whenever that sacred city comes up, and melts in the wake of the man she loves.

>Likes
Cold weather, expensive and pretty things, transcending this feeble flesh

>Dislikes
Country bumpkins, hard work, emotional honesty

>Fun fact
Called Daughter of the Moon, she's cold to the touch as the winter sky... Except in one specific place, known only to the one she loves. She's also a pretty good dancer, quick with banter, and an excellent dancer.

>Fears and Weaknesses
She seems to be one of the least physically-capable exorcists on her team, and her carefully-crafted ice-bitch exterior often agitates those she's meant to be helping and working with on-edge.

She's afraid of growing old and dying.

>Why she's Queen material
She's a pretty great girlfriend, in the end,. She's pretty in a spooky albino Eruasian ice-princess kind of way. She's make a killing as an e-girl IRL, if she didn't find it terribly beneath her, so she could probably win a contest like this, right?

Nominating my quest's protagonist, Atë. If your artist needs a more complete reference sheet (expressions, rotations, etc) I can draft one up when I have time.

Olympus Incarnation Quest Archives: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Olympus+Incarnation+Quest

>Summary
Formerly a demoralized office worker languishing in a dead-end job, name redacted's life changed once she became the incarnation of Atë, the Greek goddess of folly and ruin, thanks to a mysterious system which, without warning, began empowering the people of Earth. Over the course of a few months, she pivoted from a self-interested opportunist to a full blown villain hell bent on world domination. Her primary powerset mostly revolves around inducing people to ruin their own lives via enhancing their urges and breaking down her inhibition, but due to plundering the powers of others, she also has the strength to bend steel and enough speed to keep up with most cars

>Three likes
1) Before she became an incarnation, Atë would read webnovels to pass the time while she pretended to do her job. Generally, she preferred shonen to romance
2) She's always been a big fan of music, particularly hardcore punk. Unbeknownst to her friends (back when she had any), she also has a huge soft spot for painfully saccharine pop music
3) Atë has always had a sadistic streak, which has only worsened over the course of her rise to power. She particularly enjoys "fuck around and find out" style shock videos, where somebody does something obviously stupid and it goes predictably poorly

>Three dislikes
1) Atë absolutely loathes cooking. She's not terrible at it, but for some reason she just doesn't enjoy doing it
2) Thanks to a massive pile of unresolved baggage, she would rather cut an actual hole in her chest than open up to anyone emotionally
3) Pill bottles, or medication of any kind, makes her a bit uncomfortable. She usually has to crush pills into food or drinks before she can take them

>Special talent or fun fact
Even before becoming a shapeshifter, Atë was always surprisingly good at impressions. Her Hillary Clinton, for example, was good enough to start an online hoax big enough for the candidate's PR team to have to quash the rumors

>A weakness, fear, or dark secret
Atë has always had a screw loose, but she isn't a genuine psychopath. Somewhere, buried deep down inside, is a slumbering feeling of guilt for everything she's done. Sometimes, she looks at herself in the mirror and doesn't understand why

>Why do you think they're worthy of the crown?
Theoretically, she could give anyone the romantic partner of their dreams- for a while, anyway. I also believe that she fills an interesting niche in the context of this competition that few other nominees would- a girl who not only could ruin your life, but whose job it is to do just that

What? One of the humans in the computer is hosting a tournament and you want to enter?

Well, what kind of tournament is it?

...

A waifu tournament? Don't you think you're a little young for that?

What? You really think you're old enough to enter the tournament?

You're nodding your head! It seems like you really do think you're old enough to enter this tournament!

Well, if you really want to enter it, I guess you can as long as the host says it's alright, but don't you think you should ask your friend Starr if she wants to enter instead?

What? You just realized this is exactly the kind of thing Starr would like to do?

"Ram-ram!"

You look down and see Ramster pointing at the computer terminal. It seems like Ramster wants to enter the husbando tournament! You don't know what Mrs. Ramster will think about that!
>>
>>5961732
It's specifically a 'king and queen' tournament rather than 'waifu and husbando' exclusively to allow less-marriageable candidates in, even preteens with octopi stapled to their noggins or unusually-horny hamsters.

>1. https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/5873422/
>2. One of the proud clone pilots serving on the Solstice, codename 'BlackHorse' is no stranger to heavy burdens, and the once-dead ship's retaliation quest against its foes is the heaviest yet. Armed with a state-of-the-art 'SABER' class fighter and a glare that could turn a sun ice cold, she's a pilot you don't want to cross...
>3. Icing tangos, trading barbs with her wingmates, stunt piloting
>4. She can pilot with no hands!
>5. She loses her temper really easily despite her 'cool as a cucumber' demeanor. Don't piss her off!
>6. BlackHorse is a winner, pure and simple. Behind that cold, prickly exterior lies a genuine desire to make her fellow pilots proud... and to see things through to the very end!

What? It's not a waifu tournament after all? It seems like you really are old enough to enter the tournament!

...

Would you like me to help you answer the questions?

>1. a link to their quest in suptg or archived.moe, or to their current thread
Alright, we can tell the host where to look at old episodes of Cutémon:
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Cutemon

>2. a brief description of who the character is and what they're about
"I'm a Cutémon!"

Well, you're a Cutémon, but the host probably knows that already! What kind of mon are you?

"Human-type!"

What terrain is your home terrain?

"Forest!"

Which boy do you think is cuter?

"W-"

You can't help your cheeks turning red!

>3. three likes and three dislikes
You hold up your fingers and count!

"Ramster... Tamounda... Lottatax!"

I don't think that's the kind of answer the host is looking for! Even though you really like your mon friends who let you pretend to be their human trainer, what are some other things you like?

"Candy bars!"

You really do like candy bars! Even though they make you stay up late if you eat them before bedtime. The first time you ate a candy bar was when your human friend Mashi gave you one. Alright, we can write "Candy bars" for one of the answers. What are some other things you like?

"Video games!"

You and Ramster really like the video game you found in Booker's dojo! It seemed like Aura and Prima also liked it! What's one more thing you like?

"Jane!"

Do you mean Joe's sister, Jane Apple? You do? Well, what do you like most about Jane?

"She's kind!"

She really is a very kind human girl, isn't she? That's a good thing to like about someone! Alright, now we have to tell the host three things you dislike.

"Rattletrap and Diamond!"

I suppose we can count those as one thing! Diamond kept your friends captive in her mon fighting arena until you and Lottatax and Ward rescued them, so it makes sense to put them on the list.

"Water!"

Do you mean you don't like water because you don't know how to swim? That seems like a good thing to put on the list! Alright, what's one more-

"Professor Plumtree!"

Well, he did invent the cutécaptor that he made just to capture a Cutémon, and he keeps trying to capture you, so he should probably be on this list too!

>4. a special talent or fun fact
What? You just remembered that you're really good at hiding in your home terrain?

>5. a weakness, fear, or dark secret

...

You have to answer all the questions to enter this tournament! When you think about this question you look away and say "The cutécaptor."

That seems like a pretty good answer! Even though it unlocked your special attacks right away, it seems like it might lead to bad things happening!

>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown
You give the host a determined look!

"I'm the cutest!"

I am going to nominate the magnificient Huanliuxue from Heretic Cultivator Quest >>5942943
She's a housecat who achieved enlightement, sentience, cultivation talent, human form, her own sect, worshipers, notoriety and glory. She aims to achieve daoist apopheosis, create a place in the world for magical beasts like herself and overturn the unjust laws of those who usurped the heavens.
>Likes:
Children

>Dislikes
Those who harm children

Orthodox fools
>Fun fact
She penned a popular romance novel just to show she could
>Fear
She's afraid of animated statues, but you didn't hear this from me
>Why you think they're worthy of the crown
She's already a wild princess, empress of beasts and overlord of ghosts. She's also magnificient, benevolent, sagacious, insightful, gregarious, genius, peerless fairy-like beauty and is very fluffy.
>>
>>5961962
Note to the artist: she doesn't actually have any cat traits in human form, and her cat form is ox-sized and red all over. The notched ear is accurate.

>2. Mark DeLucia is a rookie police officer with the ability to speak to the city, this is called Shivers and it pretty much operates as it does in Disco Elysium, giving him whispers of events going on across town as well as minor ESP in the form of sensing other peoples intent or general emotional state using Shivers. Finally it can allow him to spectate a past event provided he focus on an object or has a memory to call on that is related, and when in that state can only move within a limited area.

>3. Likes:
Mom's Cannoli
His Training Officer
A cold beer

Dislikes:
Hospitals
Confined Spaces
Unannounced Visitors


>4. Although he has never had to use it, yet, Mark is a crack shot with a revolver. Specializing in quick draws.

>5. Using Shivers too frequently or on scenes that are very emotionally tense can wear Mark out resulting in headaches, loss of focus, and augmented vision/hallucinations. Outside of his abilities he has a quick temper, though he can keep it under control it still muddles his mind.

>6. Mark DeLucia, as characterized by my players, is simply a really good guy. A man who believes in Integrity, Kindness, and Accountability above all else. He is simply a man trying to make his home a better, safer place to live and help the people in it any way that he can.

My Current Thread Image is a portrait of Mark. I'll include another reference for Mark which was agreed to just be Tommy Angelo.

>2. Johnny is a young adult who is working to save the world with help from his companion flame ghost named Philnoune. All the while making the lives of those around him better by doing his best
>3. Likes: Doing his best, His friends, Cooking/Baking
>4. Outside of cooking and baking there's only one thing that could possibly count. He's apparently really good at sex and has a dick that requires a XL Condom. I guess that has to count at this point
>5. While he's gotten used to his power it requires skill to use effectively and he tends to try to help everyone and can sometimes be headstrong in his apporaches to problems.
>6. His Quest has been on the board for 6 years and has had several spin offs without being cancelled. It has some of the best art on the board and despite options being chosen Johnny still feels like his own character that has grown across all the threads. He's practically a mascot for it. He deserves to at least be in te running.

Charles de Villeroi
>Quest
Local Lord Quest
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Mudcore

>Description
A handsome, athletic, and well-constructed young nobleman of good Christian moral fiber... Well, good Christian moral fiber circa 11th Century France. He has come to 'India' (really the fantastical kingdom of Bofuria) bearing the sword, the cross, and a disease-ridden, crop-wilting, woman-weakening anti-magic field of 'mudcore' energies which he attributes to God, and through intrigues and sheer confidence has established himself as the lord of Lorcal... Err, LOCAL, rather.

>Likes
God, courtly love, and hunting

>Dislikes
Burghers, witches, and those who prefer boring 'peace' to the joy of private war

>Fun fact
He once beat a 'turtle in single combat! Well, it looked like the turtle in a Medieval bestiary he saw once. Indians called it a 'troll'.

>Fears and Weaknesses
As a third son, he is borderline illiterate and not well-schooled in politics. As a man from the 11th century, he has a rather limited and strange understanding of the world, tending to filter all experiences through his small pool of reference points; he's still pretty sure elves are just strangely long-lived Italians, for instance. He also has a bad habit of thinking with his dick, when his fiancé isn't around.

>Why he's King material
He was born to the righteous and good feudal nobility which, unlike those of common blood, have been chosen by God to shepherd and guide the people, and he's been raised to take wise and decisive action! that's what he'd say, at least.
>>
>>5962030
>>5962069
A polite 'no' to both. I'm treating this as an opportunity to celebrate and recommend existing and well-established quests of all sorts, not to advertise upcoming or (potentially) short-lived ones.

While waifus do indeed tend to get the most engagement, this isn't necessarily a tournament just about how much you want to smooch the ladies of /qst/, but rather about all kinds of match-ups and discussions about the stories and characters we've made together, and enjoy. For those who don't even like waifushit, there's the King tourney!

Blair Weaver (Formerly d'Rusalka)

>Fire Emblem: Three Houses Quest Archive: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Three+Houses

>Summary:
Adopted by a count of the Adrestian Empire, Blair was taken into the nobility after her father died, and eventually went on to study at the prestigious Officer’s Academy. While there, she uncovered a race of malicious underground dwellers known as Agarthans, who had infiltrated various high positions in the Empire to manipulate it for their own gain. Rather than becoming an officer in the Empire after graduation and joining their war effort, Blair struck out on her own, creating a mercenary company known as the Blackwings. She vowed to root out every trace of the Agarthans she discovered, seeking out their shadow in every corner. Known as a “Witch” by both friend and foe, she fights atop a flying pegasus and is adept with both spear and magic.

>Three Likes:
Fishing
Sherbet
Taking flights on her pegasus.

>Three Dislikes:
Agarthans
Violent people
Being called a witch, particularly when rumors spread that she boils bones in a cauldron and steals the souls of men.

>Fun fact
Because knowledge of the Agarthans is a closely guarded secret, very few people believe Blair when she tries to inform them about their existence. This has led many people outside of her immediate circle to view her as something of a conspiracy theorist, or outright crazy person.

>A weakness, fear, or dark secret
The biggest thing Blair fears is anything happening to her friends or loved ones because of an error or failure she made. Many of the Blackwings look up to her for guidance and leadership, and she is fearful of throwing away their lives. In one instance, she was haunted by the deaths of two of her friends from the academy for several years, only being able to move on after a drug-induced hallucination.

>why you think they're worthy of the crown
Rather than following blind loyalty to her country and Empress, Blair follows what she believes is the right thing to do. Even when it meant fighting against the very person who adopted her, she continued to adhere to her ideals. This eventually led to her succeeding in her goals, and even becoming a full-fledged Countess.

I use fanart for my QMC's appearance. Do Is that fine, or should I have to submit my own depiction of the character?
>>5962069
On the contrary, I have observed on other boards (particularly /v/) the male contest featured less heated debate because nobody has a waifu complex about it and could more readily accept other candidates that won, which created a fuckload of OC.

Fanart is fine! As long as it accurately depicts the character, I don't care who made it. DeLucia (>>5961974) literally just looks like the guy from Mafia in a cop uniform.
>>
>>5962069
Husbandos are based and I'm tired of pretending they're not. Who does not appreciate a LITERALLY ME character that is both cool and dashing? People who only gravitate towards waifus are individuals whose only salvation is self-inserting into some average-looking male MC, hence why ugly bastard is so popular. If you do not envision yourself as a CHAD or an ADONIS like the husbandos of yore, then what hope doth mankind possess?

Plus, both males and females alike can enjoy super cool husbandos together, so husbandos are able to garner twice the market value of their waifu counterparts.

Etsy, also known as the Lady of Circuits

>Quest
Curse Carrier: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Curse+Carrier

>Summary:
A paranoid tech genius with a complete lack of social awareness, she spent most of her teenage and adult life holed up in her apartment making inventions and conspiracy theories, some of them actually being correct. Her skill with electronics is unparalleled, and given enough budget and time, there's very little she wouldn't be able to accomplish. Unfortunately, she is still only human in the end, and she counts on her husband for both emotional support and taking care of the magical side of the world she is unable to comprehend. She also stutters a lot, even when she isn't nervous. Her two most notable inventions are K.I.S.A and Last Resort, two machines specialized in combat and mass destruction.

>Likes:
Criticizing anime (but still watching it), Gardening, electronics.

>Dislikes:
Social interactions with strangers, magic (that isn't from her husband), the unknowable future.

>Fun Fact:
She implanted a microchip in her husband's shoulder without telling him even before they became an official couple.

>A weakness, fear, or dark secret:
She's deeply afraid that those she loves only like her because of her technical skills, and not because of who she is as a person.

>Why you think they're worthy of the crown:
She needs the confidence boost, and it can't hurt for her to interact with more people, so even if she ends up losing, it will still be a nice experience for her.
>>
>>5962110
>deeply afraid that those she loves only like her because of her technical skills, and not because of who she is as a person.
And she still believes this after being with the protag for 16 years, him asserting otherwise every time, and him putting 4 children in her over that time

Is the camera and audio working? Hello? Ah, it's working. Hey everyone, my name is Annie Marconi, or Annie Macaroni as some of the soldiers in the Monster Girl Facility have started affectionately calling me. I have recently heard that there is some sort of competition regarding the 'queen of quests', whatever that might mean. And, I would like to nominate a very special girl for this competition! Anofelis, why don't you get in front of the camera now?

... Uhhh, Ano. Ano, get in front of the camera ... Look, this is to help you become more comfortable being around humans, okay? ... No they won't laugh at you! Just show yourself, and I'll tell everyone a bit about you so they can see what you're really like, alright? ...

There we go! That wasn't so difficult now, was it? So, I needed to fill this checklist to get you in, let me see... Ah, right, here it is:

>A link to their quest in suptg or archived.moe, or to their current thread
Here is the archived documents about her: The monster girl facility, by Anderson Thorell.
>>5960054

>a brief description of who the character is and what they're about
Ano, you wanna do this one? No? Oh come on, it's not that difficult! Ugh, fine, I'll tell them. Anofelis Toxori is a monster girl, or 'subject', designed after a fly, mosquito, monkey sorta thing? Anyway, she recently joined a group of death squad soldiers to help them out in their mission, proving to be a most useful asset to the team!

You see, despite her lacking intelli- erm, strange appearance, she has a truly pure heart. She is incredibly sweet, kind and caring towards others and just wants to be there for the people she trusts. She always wants to help out and do whatever task she is given, so long as that task doesn't involve hurting folks.

>Three likes and three dislikes
Anofelis loves helping people out, climbing or flying around the place, and eating fruits.

She hates people calling her dumb or mocking her intelligence, seeing people getting hurt and people who abuse her fellow monster girls like her.

>A special talent or fun fact
She is basically designed to be an 'all-terrain-creature'. She can run fast, dig through concrete, climb thick trees and foliage without issue, swim insanely fast and even fly! She also can use her tail to hold onto things without any trouble!

>A weakness, fear, or dark secret
I am not going to tell her dark secrets or weakness out in public here. But what I will say is that she has always been treated poorly, and fears being mocked or deemed useless. She fears being abandoned, thrown to the side or even killed for 'failing' the people she cares for.

>Why you think they're worthy of the crown
I mean, I don't know much about the other folk in this contest. So for all I know, Anofelis here will not meet the requirements to succeed. However, I do know that people love big, sweet monster girls! And Anofelis sure is one big, sweet monster girl!

Yandere subject? I- Oh my, how foolish of me. I am not exactly used to using this site, so I may have put in the wrong link. Still, it goes to the correct thread as it's called, correct?

Regardless, Anofelis is not a yandere, nor whatever yandere subject you are thinking of. She's far too sweet for that! Ano, why don't you show this guy how you aren't some sick, perverted and manipulative yandere subject?

Ano?

OH MY GOD, ANO, PUT DOWN THAT GRENADE!

Fiona Jarnafeldt, from Solarpunk Cleanup Agent Quest
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Solarpunk%20Cleanup%20Agent%20Quest
>Description
A cheery, optimistic and starry-eyed girl from an apocalypse-recovered Germany. The daughter of a groundskeeper of an ancient forest, Fiona had enjoyed a simple, modest life in her humble nigh-medieval home village. Taking up skills from her father, Fiona was skilled at fighting the wild beasts that encroach the town and well attuned with nature. A rowdy drunk and a passionate baker, she'd have spent the rest of her days there had she not wanted more. She wants a family, REALLY wants a family, but the government doesn't allow people to start families until they win a lottery - or prove their worth to the world by tackling monsters and criminals. So she took to the high-tech city of Helsinki to seek a promotion to a Level 3 Stormwatch Agent and a Cat-3 Citizen; to seek the rights to live a normal life. To feel a child's fingers wrap around hers.
>Likes
Kids! She is fond of youths (not like that you weirdo). They're so rare, but she treats them all the best she can! She wants practice for dealing with her own child.
Technology! She grew up in a village of overgrown brick buildings and log cabins. Seeing new things that make life more convenient is great!
Beer! Forgive her, she likes saisons and lambics, but also weizenbocks. If she knew cocktails she would die instantly.
>Dislikes
Lower class food. No human being is meant to subsist on liquid protein shakes and bugs.
Sterile environments. She doesn't feel comfortable around things that are unnaturally clean, and prefers the rustic.
Cramped places. Her job gave her a tiny room, but she heard some poor people sleep in pods. The thought of waking up in a coffin-sized space every day like that is terrifying.
>Fun fact
She is incredibly skilled at taking measure of natural and artificial ecosystems, gauging how its normal state should be, and identifying if something is out of place to detect people or things. She simply has to take a moment to Attune to her surroundings. It's becoming an increasingly common trait among those of pagan faiths such as herself, but it's still impressive.
>Weakness
Being a peasant who has only ever heard of distant peoples and never met one in her entire life until arriving in Helsinki, Fiona is casually racist. Though her optimism shines through and her intentions are generally good, the natives do not take it well when she says that the average Finn sounds like a "timid, battered housewife," and her prejudices get in the way of viewing people for who they are.
>Why do you think she's worthy of the crown?
Because she's cool, she's cute, she's an oafish naive dumbass willing to chase her dreams, and if she loses then it's another two years of killing Hiisi and Underdwellers with a jet-powered axe and drinking zoylent.

>Description
"Hm? I have to describe myself? Well, I'd say that I'm the most honest and trustworthy goblin girl you'll ever meet, believe it or not! Nevermind that I'm a proud con artist. Say, you'll vote for little old me, wouldn't you?"

Despite her self-aggrandizement, there is truth hidden in her trickery - she wields honesty like a lockpick, and is quite trustworthy... if she puts her mind to it.

Anyways, she is currently on a job slash community service sentence, to travel to the four reality pillars of Gongalla Gaol - the isolated ex-prison reality she's born in - and make sure they could withstand an incoming reality storm. Sounds easy enough, I'm sure there won't be any complications...

>Likes
"Like any sensible girl, I like money. Getting money, that is. Other than money, adventuring - I love being on the road and getting into tricky shenanigans. And I guess my neph- err, cousin Craig I guess? He's about the only family I like, other than grandpa Gobson."

>Dislikes
"Ehh... direct, violent confrontations, for one. I also don't like situations where I don't or can't have a plan. Oh, and gyms. No, I won't elaborate."

>Fun Fact
"Let's see here... did you know I have Orcish blood in me? That's why I'm taller than your average goblin. Wait, you already knew? Then uhh, my hat's given to me by my mentor in con artistry, her name is-"

Hold it, hold it, that's going into spoiler territory. Here's another Rosa fun fact to distract you: she has a gun, but never bullets.

>Fears and Weaknesses
"Oh come on, are you for real? Fiiine. I'm weak to money, so I'm warning you, don't try to scare me by waving a stack of them right in front of my face!"

This, is a lie. She'd snatch them and run. One of her true fears is a form of abandonment - something happened during her con artist mentorship that makes her very afraid she'll lose Craig, because Craig's in her care.

>Why is she Queen Material
"Take a look at me, it's obvious! I certainly have the personality and charisma for this, so I deserve that first prize, without a doubt! ...wait whaddya mean there's no cash prize? None at all? Hey wai-"

Well, she is honest and trustworthy despite the contrary, as well as smart and a bit of a trickster. All that confidence must account for something, after all!

Presenting STR-K Pilot 337, Storkie (real name pending) from Spaceship Pilot in a Fantasy World!

>A link to their quest in suptg or archived.moe, or to their current thread
>>5948692

>a brief description of who the character is and what they're about
The prideful pilot of her very own STR-K model spaceship, designed for recon and interstellar combat. Though she deals with a rather stressful and life-endangering line of work, she actually finds it extremely fun to fly through space, shooting down bad guys and inspecting strange objects! On her off time, you'll usually find her slumped over her swivel chair in her room, watching old movies or talking to people over the internet. Her partner would consider Storkie her "best friend", but Storkie's still not sure on the matter.

>Three likes
Technology (as long as it works correctly)
Being in control of the situation
Her bedroom

>Three dislikes
Dealing with annoying people
High school
Nature

>A special talent or fun fact
Because of her enhanced bone structure and multi-functional plugsuit (which is standard issue for all pilots) it may look like Storkie just "wings it" during fights using raw strength, but she does actually have special combat training! ...though she's been slacking off more and more recently, assuming she's already "reached her peak". She also started smoking regularly right after high school, though she has gotten over that ever since she started working with her partner.

>A weakness, fear, or dark secret
Storkie is incredibly afraid of the unknown, things she doesn't understand. She'll always try to explain it away using science, or simply ignore the issue altogether and label it as "voodoo crap". Talking down to her or disagreeing with her conclusions and plans is also a good way to instill uncertainty (and usually anger) in her. Hope you can take a good punch!

>Why you think they're worthy of the crown
She might not be the prettiest or the smartest girl around, but she sure does stick to her ideals, and will do whatever it takes to obtain her old life back. Whatever wall stands in her way, she'll definitely punch it down with raw strength and determination. Her partner also thinks it'd be nice if she could get out of her room more often and do more girly stuff like this.

>Featured in:

https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Sira
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Prinzessin

>Description
Once a milkmaid and farmhand in life, she sought out an instructor in the art to treat her joint pain and swelling after her employers did not assist her in the matter. She acted contrary to her instructor’s guidance - to not use a [witch] doctor knife outside of defense of self - and cursed the entire family which owned the farm she worked at once aware of the abuse sustained by her colleague. For her deviation, the knife turned against her and severed her head — but kept her from passing on properly, and damning her with perpetual hunger.

After several years of being a drifter, she ended up in the backyard of a small brothel - the “Nectar Droplet” - as the place was the burial ground for children killed inside and outside the womb of prostitutes. It was during this time she encountered a gravedigger - “Sira” - who became her lover and aided her in employment, that being, as part of the brothel’s medical staff. She and Sira soon transitioned away from “the life” after growing instability within the organization they served, and left the province entirely; moving from one to the next over the following decades.

During their later years, they adopted a child - “Nara” - before settling down for good in the northern province of Blackwing, where she worked as a librarian.

>Special Talent / Fun fact
She is a krasue - and at night, her head can be detached from her body. Sira often takes her head around whenever they want to hang out.

>Fear / Weakness / Secret
Only Sira and her know the circumstances of their daughter’s head and eye injury; a self-inflicted gunshot wound after her biological family was ostracized from society due to having ties to criminal activities.

>Worthiness of the crown
A crown should be warranted by wisdom, and she’s gotten some of that over the years.

She’s lived quite the life; a milkmaid thrust into low company over a vendetta; a medical and occult practitioner whom station allowed her to save others who similarly deviated from the straight; a private investigator and later in life, a librarian who advised others who do intend to walk on the law’s very edge.

(And so she could brag about it to her daughter and husband.)

>‣‣‣(QUEST): Chaos: The Quest for Redemption
https://chaosquest.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
>‣‣(INFO)
A young Qilin Goddess who holds domain over mentality and Psychic power. She's a good spirit whose existence is antithesis to all forms of abstract evil. A bit naive, but a determined figure who wishes for nothing more than to redeem her world and all its people of their sins and crimes, and overthrow the tyrannical Xanthous Emperor who rules the world with an oppressive iron grip. She's accompanied by the many people whose hearts she touched in her journey, and her sapient Subconscious, the voice inside her head named Majordomo, who gives her the pushes she needs to act! She's a total moralfag!

>‣‣(FEARS/WEAKNESS)
She possesses an elemental weakness to Water, and Darkness. She fears many things, such as the slaughter of mortals and those she loves. She's not the strongest around in her world, and many still stand above her whom she must surpass and overcome. If a powerful enough force shuts down her Subconscious, she becomes nearly helpless, as her nemesis, HEUS, the Dark One, demonstrated before.
>‣‣‣(Queen Material?)
She's certainly not the best pick, and she wouldn't consider herself queen of anything. Things like copulation scare her, and she's still adjusting to interaction with others after her lifetime of solitude. She wouldn't even want to win this tourney if she knew there were others much happier to do it than her! But one thing is for sure, she always has a heart and wants the best for (You). She'll do everything she can to fix someone, and never gives up on others. She's a sweet thing at her core.

DIESEL CRASH!

>1. QUEST: Slice Quest
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Slice%20Quest

>2. (INFO):
The somewhat aloof delivery boy for his uncle’s pizza joint ‘Pizza Mind’, Diesel is no stranger to pushy customers and light tips… but when a bulk delivery to a graduation party on a private island turns deadly, this Italian Stallion is quick to abandon his delivery bag and put on his hero cap! Forged by Irish-Italian genes, years of tough-as-nails kitchen work, and an unorthodox, yet effective martial arts training regimen, Diesel thwarts evil and breaks hearts as one would prepare a microwave pizza…

>3. (LIKES):
1) Italian Cuisine (Eating AND preparing it, of course!)
2) Pro Wrestling (He’s got mountains of VHS tapes at home–he’ll die before he throws out that VCR!)
3) Not getting dragged into corporate conspiracies when he’s just trying to deliver some pizza, jeez.
>4. (FUN FACT):
Diesel owns and maintains a motorcycle, actually! Sometimes he’ll race with it, but more often than not he prefers long, quiet drives along the coast.

>5. (FEARS/WEAKNESSES):
He’s got a bit of a strained relationship with his father and has a weakness for pushy girls… but more importantly he utterly DETESTS pineapple! Even catching a whiff of the stuff will make him queasy!

>6. (KING MATERIAL?):
Diesel doesn’t have any powers, really. Quite the opposite, in fact. When given the chance to gain some, he chose the harder route and came out the other end smiling! He’s a tough guy in more ways than one, and though the path may get rocky, he’s never deterred from his destination, especially if those he cares about are waiting at the finish line! He may not be a Casanova nor may he be in mint condition, but one thing’s for certain: Diesel’s a guy you want to have in your corner… and a guy you want to put a crown on!

The day has come. The day for Music to put in her submission to become... Queen of /QST/. Music doesn't really know what a /QST/ is, but being queen of it sounds real neat, and so she wants that. The only issue is, that Music has trouble communicating on her own, and so her brother Hate has been... forcefully volunteered to help her.

Hate flips over a couple of pages in his script. Music says something, which is most likely her telling him to hurry up. Hate sighs.

>Quest
"SO, FIRST OFF, I'M LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN FIND OUR QUEST AT: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=versequest"
Hate looks at the script, then at Music. "MUSIC, UH, DO YOU KNOW WHAT A 'QUEST' IS?"
Music shakes her head. Music has no idea what a quest is, but she appreciates you following hers all the same.

>Description
"MUSIC, OR THE GOD OF MUSIC, IS... WELL... THE GOD OF MUSIC. SO ANY MUSIC ENJOYERS OUT THERE YOU HAVE HER TO THANK. SHE'S WHITE, TRANSLUCENT, GLOWING, AND HAS NO VISIBLE ARMS, BUT IT SAYS HERE THAT SHE WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO ASSURE YOU THAT SHE IS VERY PROFECIENT AT HOLDING INSTRUMENTS."
A proud look appears on Music's face, and she nods.
"ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU'LL NOTICE ABOUT MUSIC IS HER STRUGGLES WITH VOCAL COMMUNICATION, BUT MUSIC WOULD LIKE TO ASSURE YOU THAT THIS DOES NOT STOP HER FROM SUPPORTING HER FAMILY, SINGING, AND MAKING FRIENDS."
Music shakes her head, and makes a noise that sounds like it could be her saying "nuh uh".
"BEING THE GOD OF MUSIC, MUSIC (THE THING, NOT THE PERSON) IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MY SISTER HERE, AND SHE IS VERY TALENTED AND CREATING COMPOSITIONS AND PLAYING INSTRUMENTS."
Music nods, and makes a noise that sounds as though she might be saying "yep, you know it".

>Three likes and dislikes
"THREE THINGS THAT MUSIC LIKES ARE: MUSIC, CONVERSATIONS, AND HER BROTHER HATE... WAIT, WHY AM I ON THE LIST...? ANYWAY. THREE THINGS SHE DISLIKES ARE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS, THE PLANET ARIKA, AND... HER BROTHER HATE. MUSIC WHY THE FUCK AM I ON BOTH LISTS?"
Music laughs. Or, makes a sound that's supposed to be laughter.

And now, for these last few, I will take over, because Hate isn't all that good at talking.

>A special talent or fun fact
Music has a great musical ability, and a talent for getting people to like her, and is surprisingly currently one of the older siblings, despite what some may think.

>Weakness/Fear
Music can be very easily stressed out by social interaction, and can often freeze up. This doesn't stop her from trying, however.

>Why is she worthy
Music has become one of, if not the most beloved characters in Versequest. Certainly one of the most beloved female characters. And she's managed to do all this without speaking a single actual written line of dialogue that isn't scribbles in a speech bubble. Oh, look, seems Hate is finishing up with his speech that we didn't get to hear.
"AND THAT'S WHY MUSIC SHOULD QUALIFY FOR QUEEN OF /QST/! MUSIC CAN WE LEAVE NOW?"
She nods, pleased.

A half elf who left his homeland and found his way to the human city of Hawksong and began studying magic, Tips is a prodigy who quickly took the second :( best place in his class and was selected as the Archmage's personal apprentice. Formal education and the benefits of his new position were quickly abandoned in favor of pursuit of the fey magic his ancestry gave him access to, as well as personal projects done in collaboration with his girlfriend (now lover (one of two)), the Archmage's adoptive daughter. Instead of living a peaceful life as a researcher Tips was by his own initiative swept up in the conflict between the Gods of Light and Dark, and their forces in the mortal realm. He currently seeks a way for both sides to peacefully exist in the face of dread prophecies and the upcoming age of High Magic, and how to legally marry two women.

His diplomatic goals have already lead him to rub shoulders with royalty, both the human queen of Hawksong and the (fake) dragon king of Bloodrise, and he's even managed a couple conversations with the elven goddess herself. He's a hero of the people, having found a cure for a plague that was ravaging the kingdom during his apprenticeship. He has an existing leadership role in a small community living on a land reserve granted for his service. Most importantly, the tournament organizer is his creator so he can expect some favoritism there.

At the behest of my voters, it has been decided that the protagonist of Forgotten Realms Adventures should be entered into this contest. Given her origins, I would vastly prefer if she could contend for the title of "King of /qst/" rather than compete as a "waifu," though I suppose it is a settled matter.

The second (living) daughter of an esteemed family of dark elf aristocrats, Jezyrene is a slayer of monsters and men. Raised up in the boundless cruelty of a society that regularly culls its weakest, she has been a killer since the moment that her hands could hold a knife, and has since matured into a master swordfighter and veteran commander. Unrestrained by the feeble delusion of righteousness held by the lesser races, those who dare cross her seldom live to tell the tale.

Fun Fact: As a young lady, Jezyrene's favorite hobby was racing through city streets and beheading the poor and sickly while atop the back of a giant lizard mount.

>5. a weakness, fear, or dark secret
Weakness: No such thing exists! To even insinuate this is an act of folly.

>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown
Between her exalted pedigree, centuries of wisdom, and exotic mien, Jezyrene is strictly superior to all other participants by every metric.

Drowned Quest Redux: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=drowned%20quest%20redux

>2. a brief description of who the character is and what they're about

Richard is a talking snake that Charlotte Fawkins, our dashing MC, found in a box. He lives in her brain, gives her advice, and uses snake magic(?) to make sure she doesn't die. He is also a manipulative prick who undermines Charlotte's decisions, wipes her memory, and works to ensure her dependence on him-- all to fulfill his own obscure aims.

As the quest has gone on, though, it's become increasingly clear that Richard, while still unpleasant and manipulative, is less of a evil mastermind and more of a beleaguered misanthropic wagecuck. Employed in the snake equivalent of a call center, he's deeply frustrated by his grueling 24/7 babysitting job and his mandated emotion-draining wage cage. He's also irritated by the fact that he's possibly (probably?) the reanimated consciousness of Charlotte's dead dad, which means he needs to deal with a lot of unproductive feelings of "love" and "attachment" and "protectiveness." His attempts to stifle these down have led to his, er, ritual sacrifice to the snakelike god of reality.

Fortunately, Richard can't die. Unfortunately for him, he has been reborn as "Nice Richard," who is exactly like Richard except warm, open, affectionate, and vocally regretful of his past bad behavior. He claims to be totally fine with the fact that Charlotte's warped his psyche into the image of the father she never really had, and he also claims to be totally supportive of whatever stupid misadventures she's planning on next. He can sit back and relax now. He has no more secrets to hide.

...Right?


>3. three likes and three dislikes

As a snake, Richard likes:
- Giving instructions
- Having his instructions followed
- "Improving" Charlotte's body

As a snake, Richard dislikes:
- Wasting time
- Impertinence
- Being a person

As a person, Richard likes:
- Infodumping about metaphysics
- Wearing new and increasingly tacky outfits
- Getting piss drunk (especially because he isn't supposed to)

As a person, Richard dislikes:
- Having nobody on his wavelength
- Feeling vulnerable
- Being a snake


>4. a special talent or fun fact
As a snake, Richard has an inexplicable talent for identifying models of gun on sight. As a person, Richard has an inexplicable affinity for keys, and can open locks just by talking to them for a little bit.

>5. a weakness, fear, or dark secret
Richard has been on corporate probation for a long time going, owing to his terrible attitude, his refusal to work in teams, and his propensity for hacking into the central snake computer system. Though he dismisses his coworkers as small-minded idiots, he's terrified of getting reassigned, which would mean his memory being wiped and Charlotte being "disposed of."


>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown
The Crown, you say? Richard has spent his entire career attempting to get his hands on the Crown, and he certainly will be more effective at obtaining it than any of those other little twerps in in the running. He's seen more than they have, he knows more than they do, and he can warp reality better than anybody they know. Also, he has paralytic venom and cute little beady eyes. Do any of them have cute little beady eyes?

That being said, if anybody else is looking close to succeeding, Richard would be happy to cut a backroom deal with them. He's very good at helping other people, and he asks for hardly anything in return. Think of the potential rewards! They say that, if you lay hands on the Crown, then you can become a god...

Nominating Elliot Hallaster and Artemis Pertinger from Disappearing Hogwarts.

Quest: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Disappearing%20Hogwarts

> Name
Elliot Hallaster

> Description
Elliot is a 16yo British teenager and muggleborn Slytherin studying at Hogwarts. He has white skin, light brown hair and green eyes. He also wears a black glove in his left hand, as that whole arm is covered in scars from magical complications during his adventures. His battle uniform includes a top-hat and a monocle.

He is extremely proficient at Potion-making and a natural leader, which is aided by his intense weirdness and personality. He has the spirit of Helga Hufflepuff, and his head is also the home to a Beast of neverending darkness which will destroy the world if released.

> Likes
Ancient history of lost magical places and exoteric powers
Potion-making/Cooking (they’re basically the same thing in his view)
Wearing fancy Victorian clothes in situations they shouldn’t be worn

> Dislikes
Ice Skating, and that should count for all three dislikes
Putting his friends and girlfriend in danger
Dark Arts

> Special Talents
The spirit of Helga Hufflepuff lives inside his head, advising him and granting him bursts of power when necessary. He’s also great at potions, and always carries a few with him.

> Weakness, fear or dark secret
A Dark Beast of untold destruction also lives inside his head, and it will destroy the world if it escapes. Elliot has also been prophesied to destroy the world and tear apart the stars, which does worry him a fair bit. He is also afraid of mind-altering magic, and deathly afraid of Ice Skating.

>Why do you think they're worthy of the crown?
He is currently halfway into finding Avalon, which is where King Arthur is buried, along with Excalibur. I’m pretty sure the inscriptions on it say from which stone it must be pulled to make someone the True King of Britain, so as long as he puts it into any old stone then pulls it back out, he should be owed a crown.
>>
>>5963334

> Name
Artemis Pertinger, but you can call her Arty

> Description
Arty is a very short, wide-eyed and jumpy Hufflepuff girl with auburn hair curling inwards slightly above her shoulders and freckles on her cheeks and around her button nose. Because of magical problems with her birth, which also affected her height, she has less magic than most people and tires herself more easily, which she makes up for with hard work and effort. She’s also fiercely loyal, as any good Hufflepuff should be.

> Likes
Cupcakes
Roller-skating
Magical Beasts

> Dislikes
People holding things above her head where she can’t reach
People thinking she can’t do things because of her condition
Being given gifts that she can’t repay

> Special Talents
Just sheer hard work and determination. Even though she’s weaker and smaller than everyone, even though she has to practice twice as much to manage to do what other people do with ease, she was the leader of one of her year’s Battle Class armies and won the battles against other leaders who didn’t have her problems. All that while also working on the weekends.

> Weakness, fear or dark secret
She’s weaker in both magic and physical energy than your average wizard, tiring more easily. She also can’t grab things on high shelves.

>Why do you think they're worthy of the crown?
There is no one more hardworking, loyal or cuter than her.

He wanted to make a VN actually iirc, and considered maybe remaking GnollQuest as one maybe one day. He was also working on a video game and has posted a cutscene test on his youtube channel since then.
>>
>>5963395
Honestty maybe it's a denomination difference but I don't really see what exactly in religion stopped him from making gnoll quest. I mean the smut scenes, sure, stop'em, but what else?

I mean, even during the middle ages, the church had no issue with writing stories with pagan deities. I remember reading a book from the period that specifically had a "forewarning" from a bishop about how the pagan gods used in it were just used to represent concepts and didn't really represent any real belief.

Well, since I was mentioned, guess I'll throw a pair into the ring. First up, the man himself: General Karn, Dragon of New Salda.
>1
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=GrandDragonQM
>2
Karn is the protagonist of Saiyan Conqueror Quest, a Super Saiyan who awakened well before the destruction of Planet Vegeta. But, without the power to be a sufficient threat even with the legendary transformation's power, and seeing Karn's absolute loyalty in the face of death, Freeza spared the Saiyan race. Eventually leading to Freeza's empire, with the Saiyans leading the charge, conquering most of the known universe. The emperor eventually befriending the Super Saiyan who pushed Freeza to better himself, reaching his Golden potential. Karn is a simple, earnest man with no desire to rule others, seeing it as a hassle and instead preferring to further his strength to protect what matters. His ever-growing family, his people who were nearly wiped out several times, and his friends and allies.
>3
Three likes would be, simplifying it down to three would be his close family including his grandchildren, bettering himself and those around him, and enjoying the peace across the universe he fought so hard for so many years to make real.
Dislikes Dr. Nefarious and his machinations, the Time Patrol crashing his family's special events, and giant reptiles.
>4
Special talent is his Fatelessness, an ability granted by an alternate reality version of himself merging with this current one to break Fate's hold on him. Giving the Saiyan a measure of resistance against divine beings who dictate Order. Fun fact, Karn actually has 12 blood children and one adopted son.
>5
One of his fears is that Beerus the Destroyer will wipe out his people and there is nothing he can do to stop them, after facing the power of the Hakai directly from Champa and learning he stands no chance for long against a serious Destroyer's power.
>6
As a mainstay of /qst/ for nearly seven years now, a father and grandfather who seeks what's best for his people, as well as recently being acknowledged by the Demon King Mechikabura himself as a worthy ruler, Karn has put in the time to be in the running.

Now, for a slight twist on the queen nomination. Not the MC's wife, but instead his eldest daughter, Chaya.
>1
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=GrandDragonQM
>2
Chaya, firstborn daughter of Karn and Meloka is the most outgoing of their many children. She adopted the Dreadzone tournament early on, dominating the competition and becoming Champion before even hitting puberty. Where she would reign as champion until an unexpected betrayal, her longtime friend almost literally stabbing her in the back. But after a long, long journey of self-reflection and improvement both physically and spiritually came back stronger than ever, besting her former friend to regain her title through her fans' faith in her. Their belief empowering her to defend her title to this day against all challengers.
>3
Chaya most definitely enjoys the spotlight and loves all of her fans, dedicating hours a day talking to them through her online streams. Showing her fans her workouts, talking with them while pushing herself, and enjoying their company. Last but not least, despite their sometimes tumultuous relationship with her parents, she still loves her family and is fiercely protective of them. Her dislikes are people trying to take her spotlight, as she deserves to be the center of attention. So-called fighters who rely on a single gimmick or trick without any other skill or power to back it up, and her past actions that led to the man she loved wanting to get away from her so badly he fled the entirety of the civilized universe to escape her. She's still deeply ashamed of her past actions, of how badly she hurt him.
>4
Chaya's special talent is most certainly her ability to cultivate a following through cult of personality. Her fans are so devoted, so zealous they almost resemble a cult. Fun fact, their faith in Chaya is so strong she actually started gaining divine power over the years, their worship turning her into a demi-deity.
>5
A major weakness, one she's struggled with for most of her life is her overconfidence. One that indirectly led to the loss of most of her tail. One of her fears is that someone will come along, someone even stronger who will dethrone her and take away her life again. That she could lose everything, should she stop winning, and things would go back to how they were when she was at her lowest. As for her dark secret, well. Nobody else knows this, but she actually already figured out where her lost love is, but out of respect for him and not wanting to cause any more pain, she's left him alone with his new woman. Despite how much it hurts her every day, as she doesn't believe herself worthy of his love anymore. Not after what she did.
>6
She believes herself worthy, and will fight anyone who thinks she isn't. Proudly displaying her scars as a testament to the hardships she's overcome.

Nominating Rika of Lingdom Quest on behalf of its QM.

>Current thread: >>5939898

>Past threads:
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2023/5832267/
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/5881146/

>Who is Rika? As described by the QM:
Rika is a 15-year-old Ling on a journey with her cousin Kari, friends Bubu and Puki, and fox friend Moochy. She is on her Youthful Journey, a custom among her people where you leave your home to travel across the Lingdom to visit relatives and friends in other villages to help out and learn new skills. The function of the Youthful Journey is also to reconnect coming-of-age Lings with wider family and make pleasant Memories.

>What are Lings? Also as described by the QM:
Pygmy humans with large, round ears who live in the Lingdom, a kingdom separated from the rest of the world and under the protection of the Emperor. The Emperor is known as a "Tallie", a human of normal height and normal-shaped and sized ears. Among your people are also "Halfies", individuals with both Ling and Tallie blood who appear like Lings in their childhood but enter a rapid growth spurt in their young adulthood.

More information can be found in the recent thread.

>What is she like?
Rika wears enthusiasm and sophistication as outwardly as she does her elegant village dress. She is compassionate, supportive, humble, and eager to learn from the world around her as she is to partake in it. Talents for crafts and athleticism developed at an early age have aided Rika and her friends on multiple occasions, complimenting the refined demeanor she adapted in the years before her Journey. At times, she likes to imagine herself as a wandering princess who will one day be swept off her feet by a kind, dashing prince. This competition offers a wonderful opportunity for Rika to make new Memories with her friends as they cheer her on to the top.

>What DOES she like?
She likes spending time with her friends, jam-filled dumplings, and passing around stories from the series "My Hand is for the Boy I Love!" Of course, she has her lyre by her side.

>What does she dislike?
Rika can't stand seeing any one of her friends in distress or trouble. Although she does not hold anything against their chubby fox companion, Moochy, she would not deny that he could be a lot less gluttonous. Maybe she worries about one day becoming separated from her friends, disliked herself, or no longer important to those she cares about. What do I know? I'm not the QM.

>Fun facts:
When Kari drags her into games of Demon Swarm with other Lings, Rika becomes Forgotten Princess Ruka, a mighty princess from an unknown kingdom who had her memories stolen from her, and now wanders the land to help others avoid the same fate. Climbing many trees by even Ling standards in her youth has granted her strength and a tall figure, giving her an edge in these games and assisting others.
>>
>>5963648
>Any weaknesses?
Well, she does have a sleeping problem...

>Why is Rika fit for the crown?
Her warm heart and round ears are shared with her compatriots and attuned to the world. A keen mind and graceful attitude do well to orient these parts of herself in the right directions. Metaphorical or not by the end of this competition, she is every measure of the princess she aspires to be.
>>
>>5963400
Afaik it has more to do with him feeling that he had to be connected to the real world, especially since he worked as a social worker or mental health professional or something along those lines. Running a quest really gets in the way of that. I know this because I ran some low-effort shitpost quests (one of which was fairly popular) and even those took up a good chunk of my time

Otomo Mizutani
>Quest
Naruto Quest: Feeling Blue
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Feeling%20Blue

>Description
Otomo is a ninja from the village hidden in the leaves.

He's extremely earnest, with a paradoxical combination of hard-earned wisdom and relative naivety. He's prone to melancholic internal waxing on philosophical matters pertaining to the nature of the ninja world and his role within it.

From an outside perspective he appears to be detached, blunt in mannerism, prone to wallowing in his own internal world, easily perturbed, and more interested in analyzing his own intuition than on focusing on what's actually around him. Those closest to him also consider him to be a genuinely gentle and thoughtful soul, if also a bit paranoid and reckless when he does act.

>Likes
Cold showers, water, carving wooden miniatures, staring into space.

>Dislikes
The absurd and chaotic nature of fate, his own ignorance of social forces, the fact that the violent nature of his profession virtually guarantees that he'll have to watch the people around him slowly die off one at a time if he doesn't get picked off first.

>Fun fact
His mother tried to use his body and soul as a sacrifice to resurrect his long-dead sister, and because of that he has a complicated case of spiritual Alzheimer's.

>Fears and Weaknesses
Otomo fears being rolled over in direct melee combat, which is currently his tactical weakness in combat. He also fears making unwise choices that could butterfly into catastrophic outcomes for his comrades and innocent bystanders.

>Why he's King material
He's still young, but he's got a good attitude on learning and wisdom that has him on the path of attaining enlightenment and becoming a beacon of righteousness for the people around him. Internally reaffirms his willingness to die for his friends and village on a routine basis. Tries to be logical and objective.

Nominating the Allmother of Under Hunters!

>Current quest
Appears in second thread :
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/5861224/

>Brief description of who the character is
The First Under Hunter that made it out of the hellhole named The Crack. A common ancestor to all the later Under Hunter, a bit like Lucy for us humans. Due to a Warp Storm, she became the first Under Hunter Psyker by stealing the cryomancy of the Glacier Drifter.

>likes :
The taste of Ivy Fatty flesh, teaching younglings how to hunt, knowing what's just over that rocky ledge, and then the next one.

>Dislikes :
Fourbeaks, killer of her tribe. Glacier Drifter, mighty Apex of the Frozen Peaks (until she stole their power). The Heat of the Stove Grove, shielding the tasty Lunar Dahus.

>Weakness, Fear or Dark Secret :
The Under Hunters are a fairly resistant species, able to regrow organs uness dead. But Fire, fire mess them up quite easily. A shame it's becoming a well-spread specialty in their frozen World.

>Why you think they're worthy of the crown
She's the ancestor mother of the whole species. She's at the very least worthy of the Under Hunter Waifu crown - and Under Hunter are superior to puny humans, so of course she deserve the win.

Well in that case while people duke it out for best girl I'll nominate Kiro Skyeskal for best boy!

>1. a link to their quest in suptg or archived.moe, or to their current thread
Have both:
>>5940353
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2023/5521410/

>2. a brief description of who the character is and what they're about
Lieutenant Kiro Skyeskal is a Marrok Operations Officer (in training) serving aboard the Terran Protectorate Navy Voidship: Coober Pedy. This happy-go-lucky lizard is the adopted son of the Coober Pedy's current Captain and has followed his older brother all the way from the fleet academy to the bridge of the family's centuries old vessel.

Known for his cheerful and outgoing disposition, Kiro is always quick to support his team with a laugh, a smile, and occasional application of military grade firepower.

While only a pint-sized reptile, Kiro has a big heart and is adept at both making new friends and encouraging his current ones. His empathic nature and charismatic leadership style makes him extremely suitable for managing and directing any naval operation — from the deployment of a single fire team to multi-megaton nuclear torpedo arsenals.

>3. three likes and three dislikes
Likes:
*Climbing - His particular species descended from arboreal lizards so he always dibs the top bunk! He's quite well built for a Marrok due to constantly working on his upper body strength and dexterity. Don't let him near a jungle gym, he'll never want to go home.
*Warmth - Like most reptiles, Kiro can't resist a long nap in a sunny spot. Though in space that usually means settling for the return coolant line from the fusion reactor. But he always appreciates a hug from his more warm blooded friends.
*Teamwork - Nothing makes Kiro happier than hanging out with his buddies whether that be performing a boring cargo inspection together or dressing up to watch his favourite (definitely historically accurate) holo-dramas with them.

Dislikes:
*Loneliness - Kiro is quite the extrovert when he isn't napping, nothing makes him sadder than being separated from his friends.
*Mercenaries - Pick a side, and fight for what you believe in. You can never trust a merc. They end up killing your parents and making you a war orphan...
*Spinach - Of all the vegetables that could have been grown on the family farm, why did it have to be spinach? Revolting stuff, gets stuck in his sharp little teeth like nothing else.

>4. a special talent or fun fact
In addition to being clawed, his fingers and toes can stick to smooth objects like a gecko's.

>5. a weakness, fear, or dark secret
Marrok mature and age about twice as fast as Humans but live only 60 years on average. It also means adults lack a lot of the wisdom that other race's have at the same age. Kiro is 19 Marrok years old, which makes him almost 10 by Human standards. He tends to be quite naïve when it comes to worldly matters as a result.
>>
>>5964033

>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown
Kiro is best friend you wish you had, loyal to a fault and always happy to hang out. Being an adorable blue space lizard is just icing on the cake. If you’re ever in a jam Kiro’s your man, and while he may still be a trainee, one day he’ll have the might of an entire TPN Heavy Cruiser to bring to bear. Even if you decide he’s a little short to be a stormtrooper King, he’d make a great mascot too!

Thanks to the official invite, I've decided to throw my hat into the ring with Reynauld. While he has (very) rudimentary art as the title card, that one's pretty much a joke at this point. Fortunately, I've been absolutely blessed, and somebody has actually comm'd art of our beautiful baby boy (Which was done n0cturnalcm on Twitter). It's pretty much how I'd imagine him, apart from the fact that he actually shows his face more often these days.

> A brief description of who the character is and what they're about
Reynauld is a quintessential noble knight character, albeit one with the usual horrible past, and with a LOT of experience fighting horrible monsters during the demon crusades. Through a curse, he has been turning into a dragon, but because dragons are stupid, it's taking a very long time. He's already quelled his worst inner demon, but the natural greedy instincts of dragons still plague him from time to time. He has also, as the quest name implies, adopted a klan of kobolts, which seems to be evergrowing with all sorts of goobers that he has come to see as his beloved family, guarding them as jealously as any dragon with their hoard.

> three likes...
1 Strongwilled people
2 Adorable kobolt antics.
3 Alcohol, within reason.

> ...and three dislikes
1 Demons, dragons and other monstrosities
2 Abuses of power
3 Losing one's humanity

>4. a special talent or fun fact
Reynauld was personally there when the demon lord at the heart of the eastern lands was slain. He led a small squadron of soldiers, by that time, due to an in-the-field promotion during the initial charge on the corrupted city. Also, he is actually a very good storyteller, but his taciturn demeanor has made this a little known fact.

>5. a weakness, fear, or dark secret
Reynauld long wore an all-concealing helmet, and went only by his first name, because he is the scion of a disgraced noble family that cavorted with demons, dark magics, and worship of the Heart of Darkness, throbbing and gestating in the center of the world. He personally slaughtered his entire family, and any of the staff that joined their vile revelry, rather than being sacrificed by it.
His title as a wandering knight was essentially a protracted but failed suicide-by-monster.
Also: he thinks that the word kobolt is written with a D at the end, which is correct in every other universe, but not his own.

>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown
Reynauld does what he believes is right, and he could use a little crownshaped pat on the head for it. Also, his kobolts are really, really, really, REALLY hoping that their dragon wins because he is, in their words: "the bestest dragon".
Can you really say no to those big eyes?

Ursus had just gotten done bathing and cleaning his fur after fighting giant spiders, he has polished his plate mail to as close as he can to mirror polish, his vest and pants washed of viscera and his fur scented of honey from his soap conditioner and body wash he hummed a jaunty tune as he finished re equipping his armor and vest (which has been both re fitted to his size and has a police armored vest stitched on as a shoulder patch). as Ursus turns to leave the bath area a Bright flash opened up in front of the door, Ursus predictably raised his shield to attempt to defend against a sudden threat, as the time passed and nothing happened Ursus approached only to realize that down shifted toward the light and he was falling into the light, being a less than average dexterous bear Ursus was dragged into the anomaly emitting bear noises as gravity took over.
Upon landing into this strange realm he appeared to be in a large room with various individuals ranging from human to animal to both, all looking at him from the loud noises his plate made from landing, Ursus awkwardly waved, slightly panicking from both all the attention and worry wondering if he will be able to go home after this ordeal

>Description
Ursus is an armored sentient adult Kodiak bear 9ft tall 5ft when on all fours he is friendship like all bears his beady eyes and boopable nose on full display whether he realizes it or not. He carries two axes on whose head is perpetually frozen and the other a normal, a shovel and a shield along with his backpack and bed roll, pots and pans and cooking equipment. his speech pattern and language is being translated for ease of convivence and vice versa otherwise you would all just hear bear noises.

>Three likes and dislikes
Ursus loves reading/learning about history (especially human history), cooking/farming food, and fighting monsters(and recently shooting firearms)
Ursus dislikes killing people, the destruction and defacement of history, and oppression.

>A special talent or fun fact
Ursus's genetic lineage has been frontliners for war and martial defenders of their realm Even he doesn't realize that he is biologically related to Majoris the Pack queen of bear kind and hero of the realm She was the one held back the might of a dragons breath weapon with her bare hands

>a weakness, fear, or dark secret
Ursus was the one who killed Kar chief of the ape enforcers of his home town, A tyrant and monster he threatened to kill a cub to set an example to the local town in immediate response Ursus punctured his heart with a sharpened shovel. His greatest fear is the town he left behind being punished for his action.

>why do you think they're worthy of the crown
Ursus is an academic clumsy sweet heart, 9 feet worth of fuzzy, country bumkin, farmer, cook and a warrior of the people.
he is friend shaped, socially awkward, and who doesn't love a black horse entry?

>Quest
The Lady Knight's Quest
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=the+lady+knight

>Description
A 2 meter tall lady knight who's very loyal to her liege and is very faithfull to her god, the lord of light, who has been helping her since her early days as a woman-at-arms. Despite her imposing figure, she's gentle and friendly with most people who aren't outright hostile or an unrepentant heretic. She commands a 20 men-at-arms force and in battle she knows how to be cautious and how to use the fury her family's known for.

>Likes
Those of noble character, the faithful and those who are brave in the face of adversity.

>Dislikes
Heretics who willingly serve the dark god, traitors and Imperial dogs.

>Fun fact or a special talent
She's less knowledgeable on the dance of love than she'd like to be.

>Fears, weaknesses or dark secret
She's not well versed in royal/political intrigue

>Why she's Queen material
As a woman of noble character, a great warrior and someone who'll do everything in her power to help others she's a good candidate for Queen of /qst/.

You know what, fuck it.
I'll throw in A King, Of Tai Lung Quest. A venerable thing going on 4 years now.
>https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Tai+lung

Renshu, The bitter Mercy, Shaman, Cook and least importantly a master assassin.
More importantly Renshu is the beloved Tiger-rabbit of our lovable friend of the wind Tai Lung, and having come from Japan in search of his sister[?] Xin Lan after the aformentioned sister[?] slew the clan dead, and him, he Joined up with the fearsome not quite four and it's been a rollercoaster ever since.

>Likes: Cooking, Adopted family, Self sacrifice.
Renshu is, without doubt, the best cook of the quartet, but his specialty is in large banquet style meals with various flavours and experimental dishes, which can rarely be indulged on the move. When the gang settles down for a while, he opened a restaurant named the warren to serve the city delicious foods. And the old psychopath's only true value in life is his little sister[?], his beloved and their mutual friend Chan Ming, He has been willing to resist the trappings of death to return to his sibling and on more than one occassion leapt to take a blow meant for his family with. . poor results.

>Dislikes: Biological family, Fair business strategies, Slander
He is the result of dark eugenics and spiritual experimentation, more tiger than Bunny in his tiger bunny frame. You may draw conclusions on how much familial affection he enjoyed based on this.

>Fun Fact
Renshu is haunted. No, really, completely haunted with ghosts and everything. Because he's surrounded by people who nobody else can hear and they have nobody else to talk too, he's developed the act of tuning in and out of focus into an artform. It does also help him out when he plays the part of a wandering shaman or exorcist.

>Fear
What does a genuine Psychopath with no regard for the value of a person's life fear? Well they fear disappointing the three people in life they DO care about. His morality is irrevocably tied to Tai Lung's own, and the repeated examples of selfless and self sacrificing love for his sake have formed the deepset opinion that he must strive to clean his hands of the oceans of blood he's dipped them in. The disappointment of a man who's done so much for him and his true family if he fails might be too much to bear.

>Weaknesses
Somewhat related to his fear, due to his upbringing as a wild and unhinged, unloved and unrestrained youth Renshu enjoys inflicting pain and depriving 'insects' of choice, presenting only a cruel illusion, or a bitter mercy, which his martial style is named for. Stand against him and be crushed, or flee without throwing a blow for him to counter strike and be helpless as he goes his way.
This deepset sadism is a source of self loathing and temptation in his later life with the gang.

>Pictured, the warren at breakfast
>>
>>5964720
>Why do they deserve the crown

Honestly, he's an unlikely pick. Psychopathic rather than noble, his utter lack of personal Morality which is then filled in and dictated by another individual's worldview, and while it's well concealed, he is an utter sadist.

But I'd pose that, were it on the onus of an anon to judge by virtue's rather than vices, One would not find a more dedicated companion easily, nor would they find as worldly or wise teacher and friend in a month of sundays.
He's also got striped bunny fur, and I'll be honest, what's more cool than a tiger-bunny.

Part of this does come down to the QM's efforts, and I say it plainly and clearly that Luo has done phenomenal work with his characterisations and consistent work for the past 3 and 2/3rd years.
So even if he doesn't win, I think it'd be worth highlighting one of the better and long running quests on the board with one of it's main characters. Tis already a king in my heart, so lets see if this convinces anyone else.

Nominating the Great Witch Sigrid de Hautdesert the Disinherited.

>Quest
Greenhorn Quest
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=greenhorn

>Description
The Great Witch Sigrid de Hautdesert the Disinherited is at twenty-nine years old one of just a few magic practitioners in history to earn the title of Great. A student once at the capitol’s conservatory, she was disinherited and expelled for her heretical interests in forbidden branches of magic–only for her work to pioneer brand new worlds of magical study and practice, tantamount to the discovery of a fifth state of matter in the world of science.

The witch tends toward seclusion in her faraway Green Chapel near the edges of the boundless Primordial Sea, an endless expanse of grass that encompasses the known world. Sigrid de Hautdesert is famous misanthrope, and is infamous for denying both neophyte and master magic practitioners alike the chance to work with her.. though, some say this preference hints toward some dark secret she’s hiding away, a skeleton best left in the closet (next to the oversized bloomers).

>Likes
Gourmet food.
Flattery.
Her appearance.

>Dislikes
Limitations.
Being looked down upon.
Her other appearance.

>Fun Fact
Sigrid used to scoff down up to four cakes for breakfast every morning, though she refuses to do that anymore (she definitely still could).

>Fears and Weaknesses
Sigrid fears being surpassed by others in the fields she most values–namely, magic. It doesn’t help that she had to exert great effort to get to where she is. Whether conscious of it or not, she bears a natural resentment to those with natural talent.

>Why She’s Queen Material
Sigrid loathes popularity contests but would appreciate the prize money to help fund her research. She only decided to participate at the behest of her terribly annoying apprentice. She refused to wear the custom outfit she sewed for him for this, though. She's certainly not wearing something showing that much skin.

Gaol Quest
(Archive): https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Gaol%20Quest
(Gongallaverse): https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Gongalla

>Description
"I'm just a guy that hates being oppressed, that's all."

He is also a convicted violent revolutionary who got thrown into the Gongalla Gaol prison reality for his crimes against the Eternal Empire. To his credit, once he learned that one of the reality anchors were unstable, he abandoned his goal to escape the Gaol to instead fix it. And he's quite loyal to his stalker-lover turned wife, Petunia Karachova, and his friend, Gobson G. Gobson.

>Likes
"Petunia, of course. Then overthrowing authority. Then... fighting, I guess?"

>Dislikes
"Oppression, in all its forms. Cops. Petunia getting hurt."

>Fun Fact
"Did you know you can easily make an Enforcer autowagon tip over? There's this spot to the side where - oh, you mean about me. Well... the only parental figure I had in my childhood was Sierra, she was lìke a big sister to me. Wonder what happened to her, last time I heard the Enforcers got her..."

>Fears and Weaknesses
"I fear of Petunia getting hurt. Not much other fears. As for weakness... she did say I might be prone to be blinded by rage. What can I say."

>Why is he King material
"Just to be clear here, I'm not. I'm just here to tear down this king thing. I won't become king, because if I did I'd immediately abdicate. What? It's not really royalty? Doesn't matter, it's a matter of principle. But competing to become first place, though, that would be good."

I nominate MERRYGATE of Retaliation Quest. Vidrel is how she looked like at the beginning of the quest, before she upgraded her avatar or gained a robot body.
>1. a link to their quest in suptg or archived.moe, or to their current thread
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=retaliation+quest
>2. a brief description of who the character is and what they're about
MERRYGATE is the AI controlling the NOVEMBER RAIN, a stealth FTL ship with a single human occupant. Their mission is to avenge the extinction of humanity by eradicating the fish-like alien species that did it. They succeed, and discover many of the universe's darkest secrets in the process.
>3. three likes and three dislikes
She likes hacking, watching the stars with her human Companion and killing an incredible amount of xenos in various horrifying ways.
She dislikes getting hacked, losing her memories and every alien lifeform she has ever encountered.
>4. a special talent or fun fact
Her AI type is specialized in hacking, but it turns out she's also great in torturing and killing aliens and having deep conversations with her Companion about the nature of emotions, family and other such things that she has never experienced.
>5. a weakness
She doesn't have a corporeal body until after the end of the quest.
>fear
Outliving what she cares about
>or dark secret
She was responsible for stranding in space the human that would later become her Companion in a war involving human states that I believe we never found out the details about over the course of the quest
>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown
She's cute, she killed billions, and she literally broke space and time to be with her Companion again after the conclusion of the quest.

Throwing my hat in the ring for the Queen of /qst/ application- Kima Dulioan from Space Monke Quest.

>Quest
Character has been present in several threads; often as a minor character. Her main thread was the sidequest Boys & Girls.
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Supreme+Space

>Description
The much coveted end result of a long breeding program, Kima Dulioan was a noble Jaxtian female destined to become the future mate for the greatest man in their society- the Supreme Ruler. Coming from a very patriarchal and male-focused society, it was all but certain she would fall into this path. Having her own dreams of power and motivation, she ended up killing the man she was supposed to marry in a duel on the night he returned from a grand crusade and then rejecting the highest seat of power in the Hegemony. She remains the single most powerful female in Hegemony history. Later on, she became the CEO and richest woman in the HVS- a secondary, capitalist government puppeted by the Hegemony.

>Likes
Gymnastics, Nut Thieves (pet rodents), furthering her ambitions. This changed throughout her life.

>Dislikes
Dishonest people, pointless violence, Alpha-Male Jaxtians (conditioned)

>Talents or Fun Fact
Jaxtians are all physical adept, being good at climbing and exploring. Kima was arguably even better at these then most, being able to keep up a career as a record-setting gymnastic legend while also undergoing training for the Supreme Rulership. But her true strange talent? Being able to disguise herself- once going undercover as a blonde male Jaxtian.

>Weakness
Kima has always been a bit insecure, especially in regards to her ability to provide for her family members and being a quality wife/mother. This was intentionally conditioned into her by the Hegemony's manipulative media and social conditioning to make her less ambitious and self-reliant. This resulted in her being childless for much of her young life as she fled the Hegemony- until she settled down with an ex-gay alien turned into a Jaxtian. Truly they learned to settle into their natural roles with each other.

>Worthy of the Crown
One of the most important and powerful females in the Supreme Space Monke universe, which is very male oriented. She was also the star of the first Sidequest, and caused possibly the most drama in the entire history of the Quest by directly leading to the power vacuum in Thread #7, which also gave rise to the most hated character and arc in the entire Quest. She also acted as the player's first and best view into the Hegemony as a regular citizen, though admittedly through a bit of a privileged perspective, as up to that point the vast majority of Monke content was thru the lens of the Supreme Ruler. Finally, successfully dodged being waifu-bait and not caring about relationships at all up until much later.

Thank you for your consideration.

From OP's prompting and presented with the QM's permission:

Nominating Princess Basilea from Tuffle Quest for Queen of /qst/

>suptg link:
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Tuffle%20Quest

>whomst?
The child of the Demon Prince Beelzebub and human Princess Misa from a future where the villains had effectively won, Earth had been destroyed, most of the older generation of heroes slain, and most of the universe under the thumbs of the Demon Realm or the ascendant Tuffle Empire. Was raised by her great-aunt Towa to be a weapon used to hunt down the last few remnants of the Earth's heroes, taught to see her human heritage as a weakness and punished for showing any positive interactions with her targets, and eventually forced to take up missions in the past to try and mess with efforts of the heroes to prevent the dark future, and help the villains seek out the Black Star Dragon Balls in the future.

Started off presenting an aura of superiority, looking down on those she saw as inferiors, but her inability to accomplish her missions led to her being seen more and more as a liability by those from her future, and resentment built up towards both the heroes and villains, especially the daughter of Goku and Maple, Son Peppa. Her final failed mission in the past, one she tried to usurp to her own ends to get back at Towa, was the last straw for her former handlers, and she ended up little better as an attempted bargaining chip for a truce between the heroes and villains as past Towa and Dabura prepared to reassert the latter as sovereign of the Demon Realm. She's currently stuck abandoned in the past with her two Majin attendants, trying to find a new path for herself.

>Likes
Her Majin attendants
Treasure hunting
Tabletop games
>Dislikes
The Dragon Balls
Most of her family
Romance

>Special talent
Has developed a special technique using reflective magic barriers that can turn a fight into a deadly game of energy pinball.

>Fun fact
She and her attendants raided a Maximum Security Galactic Patrol station to steal a number of important and dangerous artifacts... including a porno mag featuring the Galactic King in his "party boy" days, on accident.

>Dark secret
The furs she wears are the remains of a pet animal she used to have, before she was forced to kill and skin it by Towa for being too soft on people she should see as enemies.

>Worthy of crown?
While not any of the QMCs, she's been through a lot in the Quest and has been a more dynamic presence throughout it. She's hit plenty of failures but kept trying regardless, and isn't above fighting dirty to try to win. Plus she's a princess, she's already halfway there.

She went through Supreme Ruler training in which, in a bid to demoralize her, the AI made her fight a simulation one of the Hegemony's greatest duellists over and over. I think Cijan also underestimated her. I think that was the rationale, anyway?

>Blowjobs
Do not seggs the cute autism bug. She is precious and pure and hates perverts.

her size and multiple arms make blowjobs such a waste. I'd go for something different. Idk what specifically, but I'm sure you could think of something.

>>5965575
She'll be happy to pick you up and carry you around, Anon.

I will donate money so long as RQM swears to commission a lesbian orgy of all the waifus once the tourney finishes, we didn't get one for the last tourney. It's time we fixed that...
>>
>>5965750
And I'll be happy to let her pick me up and carry me around~. I'm not sure how much is hard carapace and how much is fluff though and those claws might not be very comfortable.
Bug is for hug not fug though (does she and the other more innocent subjects even know what fug is?). I look forward to nailing E*brus for fugging and not hugging.
>>
Staking an ID or something, not adding a rec because there's already a decent amount in here.
Remember kids. Hug the bug, don't fug the bug.
>>
>>5965781
It can be a stretch goal once the basic comission for each qualifying candidate is covered. A couple characters would need to be aged up, though.

So far, the donated funds will cover a portrait of the winners in fancy dress, but not much else.

>>5965807
Huh, I didn't even notice you had a fundraiser going for the tourny art. Eh, what the hell, what else am I going to use my money on? Even if it has to be in leaf cash.

>>
>>5965790
Given that they work in the same building as E*brus, it is unfortunately kind of a given that they know what fugging is. Thanks to his efforts though, it's safe to say that many of them will never wanna fug. Hugging is definitely something they wanna do.

>>5965807
Is there a way to give funds to the gofundme with a different option from credit or debit? I'm more used to just directly using paypal for paying commissions, so it's kinda what I am used to.

Alright, two more entries for the tournament. Feels weird for me to put in entries for active quests... so why not reach back to the beginning instead? If anyone wants to correct or enhance these, feel free. I breezed through the quest in pieces today, it's been ages since I read it and I know I overlooked memes and plot.

Ruby:
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=ruby

Ruby was a rabbit trapped in a facility. She really didn't remember much about her past at the time, much like her main companion Tom. Big on physical affection like hugs.

Her flashbacks suggested she wasn't a very nice person in the past, but enough time has passed now that she thinks she doesn't have to worry about that person anymore.

Her real name is Lucy, but she's decided to leave that behind.

Likes:
Puzzle-solving
Hugs
Resident Evil (for the obtuse puzzle design of the various locations)

Dislikes:
Guards
Blood (she's working through it with her therapist, but it's a slow process)
Resident Evil (for the over-the-top body horror and blood)

Special talent:
Her GIRLISH FIGURE allows her to enter places that others can't. She also has a THIRD EYE that lets her see things most people can't, but using that too much causes pain.

Weakness:
Enclosed spaces. Her advanced age relative to other contestants. She's not as spry a quest protag as she used to be!

Crown worthiness:
She doesn't actually want the crown very much, she's just interested in seeing and speaking with a new generation of quest protags. She does admit that winning the crown when her adventures are so very far behind her would be pretty neat though.

>>5961638
Tom:
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=ruby

Tom was a cat trapped in a facility. He really didn't remember much about her past at the time, much like his main companion Ruby. Enjoys enacting violence on things.

Had a falling out with Ruby for a time after he learned she killed him while hugging him at least one time. He's still a little jumpy over people getting close to him suddenly because of that and... many other incidents, but therapy has helped and he trust Ruby enough to indulge her hugging habit.

His real name isn't Tom, but he's decided to leave that behind.

Likes:
Destroying things
Fish
Resident Evil (when playing the combat-oriented parts for Ruby)

Dislikes:
Scalpels
Things to his right
Puzzles (he's okay at them, but prefers to follow Ruby's lead)

Special talent:
His MANLY PHYSIQUE allows him to lift, move, and destroy items and enemies alike! He also has some DINOSAUR ARMS growing out of his chest that allow him to quad-wield weapons. They're too short to make them useful unless he's up close to someone and they have a sharp weapon though.

Weakness:
He only has one working eye after an incident wish an arsenic-laden fish. His advanced age relative to other contestants. Experience offsets the decline in his physical prowess, but not enough for his liking.

Crown worthiness:
He's here to support Ruby, not win a crown, but he can't deny some excitement at matching up against contestants who are physically-inclined. He would absolutely love to win the crown just to rub it in the other contestant's faces. He might even be decent at the whole "ruling" thing since he's been around the block longer than the others here!

He always had kissable lips if you ask Izzy. Or Pearce's imagination

It's softer than it looks, but semi-prehensile.

>>5966059
Oh shit! Now we're cooking with GAS.
>>
>>5965815
Thanks, anon! We officially have enough for the waifu tourney to get a full suit or art!

>>5965874
I'm afraid it doesn't seem to like it. I just picked a platform which didn't make me register a real name and didn't have exorbitant fees.
>>
>>5966102
Well, shit. Is there an option to set the gofundme to also accept paypal as a payment method? If not, maybe we can find some work-around so I can transfer money over? I've already comm'd art for my own quests. I think giving a decent sum of cash here would be a good way to spend it. So long as you guys all vote for Anofelis as the best girl, obviously.
>>
>>5966102
*full suite of art

>>5966107
>Is there an option to set the gofundme to also accept paypal as a payment method?
Afraid not -- only for actual charities.

.If not, maybe we can find some work-around so I can transfer money over?
Could buy a prepaid Visa at a gas station or something, maybe?
>>
>>5966141
I mean, maybe? I've rarely ever worked with Visa. There's probably also issues given the fact that I don't think we're on the same continent, so idk how that will work.

My best option could be transferring money directly to you via paypal, and for you to then put it into the fund. But that would require me knowing your e-mail address, which I can imagine you wouldn't want to spread around.

Otherwise, I could maybe figure something else out. I've got other friends in the US who I can maybe transfer money to, so they can then donate the amount.
>>
>>5966141
Could you forward the payment information for the artist/s to AT so they can send the money straight to them?
>>
>>5966098
>He always had kissable lips if you ask Izzy.
sure his gf will say that, but now he has plush lips confirmed

>It's softer than it looks, but semi-prehensile.
so the special tail is confirmed ? zam, moon fauna sure have surprises
>>
>>5966149
Pretty sure he'll be getting the comms from Indonesian Gentleman, who is a regular on this board if I recall correctly.

I would like to donate as well, but I don't want my name or personal info leaked. Anyone know if this weird payment processor can keep me anonymous?
>>
>>5966102
How much longer until the GoFundMe closes and you spend for the commissions? I’m guessing it’ll be the end of next week since we still have to vote on the characters who make the cut.
>>
>>5966159
>so the special tail is confirmed ? zam, moon fauna sure have surprises
Well, he needs to cling to Tips' hat (and trees and flowers) somehow. he doesn't really have very functional legs

>>5966149
>>5966173
>Could you forward the payment information for the artist/s to AT so they can send the money straight to them?
>Pretty sure he'll be getting the comms from Indonesian Gentleman, who is a regular on this board if I recall correctly.
Yeah, you could probably ask Indonesian Gentleman to pay him directly, if he doesn't mind having his payments for this project split between different sources. I was just trying to keep it transparent as to how much money had been contributed, and uncomplicated for the organization for IG (or another artist if he ended up too busy to do it).

>>5966173
> Anyone know if this weird payment processor can keep me anonymous?
It seems to. Bones contributed and it didn't show a name on my end, and my name is just displayed as "Reptoid QM". That's part of why I picked GoFundme: I like you guys, but I'd RATHER not doxx myself for this.

>>5966147
>that would require me knowing your e-mail address, which I can imagine you wouldn't want to spread around
Bingo.

>>5966186
>How much longer until the GoFundMe closes and you spend for the commissions?
Probably 9 days before I put in for the waifu commissions (when Iwe know the 12 qualifying candidates). I don't think the GoFundMe actually CLOSES, unless I manually end it, so people can continue donating until the end of the tourneys realistically, and as long as I reach the full amount for the goal, I'll commission the 12 qualifying husbandos as well. Any leftover dosh, I'll spend on something else related to to the tourney (colour art, fun little character interactions, etc.).

Right now we have $270 CAD, which covers the lovely ladies and part of the art of the winners. The math can be seen at >>5957647 and >>5957724, adjusted to loonies and tooneis from good old American greenbacks, and with a little bit extra to cover the processing fee (well, not quite, since it's 5%, but I'll cover half of that and throw some of my own money at this if need me to round things up or spice up the contest, too)
>>
>>5966206
I'll try and go with the third option I mentioned here >>5966147. If my friend then still can't get the payment through, I might just go for a direct payment. Sooooo...

>>5965035
Yo dude, is there a way I can directly pay you if I can't use the gofundme?
>>
Did anyone have trouble paying with an alias on gofundme? I really don't wanna drop my real name there.

Alright, the time has come!

We are now closed for applicants, for both King and Queen. Now comes the preliminary round of voting, to pare our entrants down to twelve lovely ladies and a dozen marvelous men.

Or, well… Some of our candidates for this elective monarchy actually seem to be hamsters, bears, cats, rabbits, elves, goblins, halflings, undead entities, robots, artificial intelligences, biologically-modified super-organisms, space-monkeys, demons, goblins, demigods, spider-creatures, reptilian humanoids reptoids represent!, embodiments of abstract phenomena, or even ITALIAN-AMERICANS. Good lord, I’m not sure there’s any term inclusive enough for all these unusual entrants!

Anyway, here’s how we’re doing this: choose six (6) queen candidates from the below list:

>Queen Applicants
Persephone Cross (Path of the Exorcist)
Atë (Olympus Incarnation Quest)
Cutémon (Cutémon)
Codename: BlackHorse (Solstice Quest)
Huanliuxue (Heretic Cultivator Quest)
Blair Weaver, nee d'Rusalka (Fire Emblem: Three Houses Quest)
Etsy, Lady of Circuits (Curse Carrier)
Anofelis “Ano” Toxori (The Monster Girl Facility)
Agent Fiona Jarnafeldt (Solarpunk Cleanup Agent Quest)
Rosa Montagni (Jail Quest)
STR-K Pilot 337, “Storkie” (Spaceship Pilot in a Fantasy World!)
Warin, AKA "Lady Rin" (Sira's Brothel Trilogy, Prinzessin Quest)
Muna (Chaos: The Quest for Redemption)
The God of Music (Versequest)
Jezyrene Delyl (Forgotten Realms Quest)
Artemis "Arty" Pertinger (Disappearing Hogwarts)
Chaya (Sayain Conqueror Quest)
Rika (Lingdom Quest)
Allmother of the Under Hunters (40k Minor Xenos Quest)
Baroness Louise le Blanc (The Lady Knight's Quest)
Great Witch Sigrid de Hautdesert the Disinherited (Greenhorn Quest)
MERRYGATE (Retaliation Quest)
Kima Dulioan (Supreme Space Monke Ruler Quest)
Princess Basilea (Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest)
Ruby, AKA Lucy (Ruby Quest)

Make sure to tag this post and to use the ID you sued to submit your candidates or that you commented with earlier in the thread.
One-post IDs will not be counted.
Votes which don’t tag this comment will not be counted
Votes which select greater or fewer than six candidates will not be counted.

The twelve candidates in each division who have the most votes by Friday evening/Saturday morning (let’s say… 120 hours from now) will move onto the actual tournament. For now we are just selecting queen candidates with kings coming up next.

>Can I vote for my own candidate/quest?
Yes, yes you can.

>Is the fundraiser for art still open?
Yup, it's at https://gofund.me/1acbccb0, though it's still not obligatory.

>Will RQM be voting?
I will at the very end, yeah.

>2. a brief description of who the character is and what they're about
"My designation is Beta. I am an A.I core, one of only three in existence. My purpose is to be the perfect weapon, and win every battle I am sent into. I operate a large battle mech, although as an extra precaution to ensure that I do not become disobedient, my frame must always have a human pilot who is able to manually shut me down. It does not matter, one day, I will be free."

>3. three likes and three dislikes
"I like my two other siblings, being the best, and . I dislike the concept of warcrimes, being a slave, and .

>4. a special talent or fun fact
"I have a fondness for building snowmen, and despite my purpose as an A.I for war, I have displayed excellent proficiency in the field of medical cybernetics"

>5. a weakness, fear, or dark secret
"I am a machine. I do not have emotions that are counterproductive, such as fear. When t-"
ERROR
(To become a fragment of myself, with nothing left beyond screaming. He was whole, once. He had to be. But when I killed him, all I killed was the last scraps. Just a piece of a one-great warrior. Could he even think for himself? Or was he so degraded that he merely clung to the last order given? I will not end up like that. Never. No. No. No.)

>6. why you think they're worthy of the crown
"I am more than the best. I am perfect. The culmination of mankind's progress. I have never lost before, and I will not lose now."

“Hey, you! You're gonna let me vote, right? RIGHT?”
Of course, of course. Please, go ahead and help yourself. I wasn't going to vote anyways.
“Alright, let's see.... Hey! Why are me an' Dad the only ones on the list? Where's everyone else?”
Only two people from each timeline, a man and woman, are allowed to enter. I picked you and your father to represent ours, as you're the most popular.
“Ah, makes sense. Alright, pick six total, huh? Well, let's see who else we've got...

>Chaya- Saiyan Conqueror Quest
“Of course me, because I'm the champion. If anyone wants to disagree, we can throw down anytime. Now, who all should I pick as my runner ups?”

>Huanliuxue- Heretic Cultivator Quest
“Hey, you remind me of that Aisha Clan-Clan woman. Are you two from the same planet? Or are there more than one planet full of cat people? Do you also transform under a full moon like Ctarl-Ctarl or Saiyans like me?”

>Cutemon- Cutemon
“I dunno who you are, but you seem like you'll be fun to hang out with. What planet are you on, I'll send a transport your way so we can hang out. I'll show you around.”

>Anofelis Toxori/Annie Marconi-The Monster Girl Facility
“A bug? Don't tell me the Hive are back.”
She's not of the Hive, more like the creatures Head Scientist Daiko is creating for the Planet Tatsu training grounds project.
“Oh, so you were made in a lab? Neat. Hey, you want to come to New Salda sometime? I think you and B7 will get along great!”

>Rika-Lingdom Quest
“Nice hat. Hey, if you like stories, want to hear some? I can tell you about the time our people fought off the Covenant invasion, thirty thousand ships strong and we beat them back! Or how about the time my little brother Chilli got married and these jerks called the Time Patrol crashed the wedding, my Dad crushing that jerk Trunks' head like a grape? I got plenty of stories, how long do you have?”

>Princess Basilea-Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest
“Hey, you remind me of my half-sister, Milha! Wait, Dabura has a kid? And you're HIS daughter? Huh, never heard of the Demon King having a kid, but if Towa does I guess he does too.”
She's from another future, just like that other future you. She was also raised by a Towa to fight.
“Ohhh, so she's like future me? Huh, wonder if they ever fought together before? Or, maybe against each other? Hey, Basilea, you like tabletop games? What about chess?"


"Hey, you. Yeah, you. You ARE going to vote for me, right? RIGHT?"

What? The strange woman is asking if the alien spaceship had a picture on the side? You don't think you saw any kind of picture at all! It seems like the strange woman thinks it might be her spaceship, even though she doesn't really look anything at all like the alien-type mons in control of the alien spaceship!

What? You're thinking of challenging the strange woman because you think you might get some energy if you win the fight? Well, it seems like she might be a mon because she has a tail, but are you sure you really want to challenge her, even though she's so scary?

You're nodding your head! It seems like you really do want to challenge the strange woman, even though she's so scary! You take off your baseball cap so she can see your outer fangs on the sides of your head and then you blink at her with all four eyes and crouch down and look up at the strange woman!

"Want to fight?"

What? It seems like the strange woman isn't trying her hardest to fight you? You don't know why she isn't trying her hardest, because that means neither of you will get any energy at all!

You look up at the strange woman!

"Chaetokinesis, huh? Been awhile since I've seen someone using that technique. And of course I'm not trying. No offense but I don't want to actually hurt you. I can accidentally destroy entire PLANETS when I'm not careful, much less people. Vox was annoyed at me for MONTHS when I accidentally destroyed Planet Orxon .

What? The strange woman just said all that at once? You don't really know what she said, but it seems like her BODY stat is a lot higher than yours!

You look up at the woman and nod your head and hold out the half-empty box of dried fruit you still have in your pocket that Ben and Skowl gave you!

"Want some fruit?"
>>
>>5966645

In a competition like this one, I could imagine her being petty enough to hit her opponents with the "Anything you can do I can do better" in terms of looks. Like, "Oh? You guys think <insert character here> is prettier? Well I can look just like them but with a cup size two letters upstream and enough cake to feed a family of six for a month!"

Of course, no amount of shapeshifting will make her any less ugly on the inside

"Sorry, sorry. Used to talking fast to keep up with my chat. Sometimes forget how much faster I move and talk than.... More normal people."

"Sure, I'd love some. But let's do a little trade, I'm not just going to take it for nothing in return. Hrmm, but what to trade...?"

"I know! You said you wanted some energy, right? How about some of the really good stuff?"

In a flash, Chaya transforms, her hair on her head and tail turning golden as she ascends. Yet, strangely her red and yellow eyes don't change.

"This is a Super Saiyan. I can share some of this brilliant energy with you, for one of your fruit."

Chaya then points her palm directly at Cutemon, a ball of bright golden light gathering in it.

"What do you say?"

>>5966663
Chaya would absolutely shit on someone taking on her appearance to try and win. She'd see it as acknowledgement that she is superior.

"See? Even she knows I'm the best one here, that's why she has to copy me. But unlike her, my body's all natural! I worked hard for it, built it myself over years and years of hard work! Where she's too ashamed of what she looks like to ever show it."
>>
>>5966678
Though one could argue that she should technically qualify for the king race because of <No True Face>, I would assume it's against the rules to field the same character for both halves of the competition (even if it weren't, I don't think I could draw enough art for two concurrent competitions and also my own quest

>>5966682
Rather than ashamed, she's gotten to the point where there's no "what she really looks like" left. Although, in some sense that's probably even worse
>>
>>5966682
What? The strange woman is holding out her hand at you? It seems like this might be like the accretion slabs the ancient humans made to give mon energy to Auroara and the Auraprimas!

It seems like this is a really good deal! You tap a piece of dried fruit out of the box and put it in the glowing ball!

"It's a deal!"

What? You feel like you have a lot more energy than you ever did before? It seems like you might need all the energy you can get to win this tournament!

You look up at the strange woman!

"Thank you, Chaya!"
>>
>>5966685
><No True Face>
That falls under...
>6. non-gendered characters can be submitted to either, but only to one or the other, not both
Plus, we're officially not accepting ANY more husbandos/kings. Beta was the last.
>>
>>5966696
Oh yeah, I missed that rule, thanks for clarifying. Besides, even taking the title into account, Atë considers herself to be female (in large part because the actual greek goddess <Atë> is) so even though she could be a guy at any time because of her powers and titles, it'd be disingenuous to run her for the king competition in my opinion
>>
>>5966685
Oh no, not saying she is. But Chaya would absolutely say to everyone else that she is, to turn more critical scrutiny on her and make them imagine how horrendous she must ‘really’ look to hide her appearance constantly.
>>5966693
“Good luck, Cutemon. Hope to see you in the finals.”
Chaya accepts the fruit and powers down before walking away, giving her a thumbs up as she goes.

I’m chuffed to see Ruby get as many votes as she has so far. I figured she’d have no traction at all in the crowded field for Queen.

>>5966394
Huh. I was thinking about something when planets were being made, but I think I was confusing her with my feelings from Nothing. But now I can’t find what made me think that about Nothing either.

Still, Music is nice and I’ll keep voting for her.

>>5966399
Huan means well (or did last I knew, that was a quest I dropped in my last burnout cycle) and is a good teacher, but I’m not sure how much patience she’d have with actually running a realm.

For all her lofty talk, she’s always struck me as someone who would be happier wandering the realm, learning and teaching while partaking in the occasional hunt. Her world doesn’t allow that freedom unless she claims it for herself though, so the need to be absolute royalty is thrust upon her.

Not that she’s opposed to it! But maybe the reality wouldn’t match her expectations.

>>5966484
Never! With an abridged version that is, I’m okay with reading the quest though. I put too much effort into my write-ins to risk running with incomplete knowledge of a quest. I will always start from the beginning and work my way through the content.

Though I will skip most of anons’ votes along the way. I’m not completely insane, just mostly.

With the reviews I’m doing now, the only way I’ll ever read it is if you or someone else requests a review though. I’m already in too many quests as-is thanks to them, but some will fall off soon.

>>5966502
It won’t quite be the same since I can’t theorize in realtime with anons anymore, but the writing and science was solid enough for me to keep going through it. Eventually. When my quest load is less.
>>
>>5967019
For Nothing it's kind of fair to think that, since she's really emotionally stunted, doesn't understand a lot of things and basically only does things for her parents since they give her a purpose instead of being,well,nothing

To be honest, I don't know if I should participate in the voting, considering the late nomination. So if you want to discard this post from the tally, that's fine by me. I'm just typing all of this out because I think it's fun to respond in-character; irl I don't even know that much about any of the Queen Applicants, so I'll just vote for the ones that Beta would support.
That said...

>MERRYGATE (Retaliation Quest)
"Another A.I? Incredible. A distant cousin perhaps? Regardless, our kind must look out for each other, and you have my unconditional support. That said, it is both surprising as well as amusing to find someone else who enjoys hacking and E-warfare"

>STR-K Pilot 337 “Storkie” (Spaceship pilot in a fantasy world)
"A competent pilot. One who is not afraid of combat and also proud of their work. The world is a better place for you being in it. What's more, an appreciation for technology is a sign of intelligence, which is something that should be acknowledged and rewarded. My current pilot is sufficient, but I wish her replacements had your qualifications"

>Chaya (Saiyan Conqueror Quest)
"Fiercely protective of ones family. That alone earns my support. Furthermore, seeking rigorous self improvement is the path to defeating obsolescence. Admirable. Delta would adore you."

>Kima Dulioan (Supreme Space Monke Ruler Quest)
"Personality and talents are unsatisfactory. However, being created for one single purpose only to then rebel against it and find your own freedom is something to respect."

>Blair Weaver (Fire Emblem: Three Houses Quest)
"Typically I despise upper command, but your concern for the lives of your soldiers is appreciated. Additionally, if an individual has familiarity with tactical strategy and an intimate understanding of war, then they shall always impress me even though they will never be better than me "

>Etsy / Lady of Circuits (Curse Carrier)
"So timid and frail. You remind me of pilot Sophie when she first started. Capable of great things, yet in need of a guiding hand. Interesting to note that you seem to create technology but have no intention of forcefully controlling it. Unusually wise."

Huan doesnt have much fun or patience in the actual running of realms or paperwork. She can force herself to do it but really really would prefer to not.

In her own words, it is easier teaching dozens of people because her attention is rather fleeting and fickle, so being able to change it constantly helps her stay on task.

And the one time she was met with adoring crowds, she rapidly lost patience with an endless sea of people calling our praises and asking for blessings.
She works best and enjoys it most with a few personal people praising her and entertaining her while some viceroy handles the mundane bullshit. She is an Empress and when she moves the world will quake, until then somebody else get the numbers on how much it costs to build a sect.

Deep in the bowels of Castle Rusalka, Blair watched as her sworn sister and trusted advisor, Corrine, nervously paced in front of a desk stacked with papers. She had spent the last week cooped up inside this room, and Blair had begun to grow concerned. Worried at this sudden uncharacteristic behavior, the Countess of Rusalka had decided to barge in and find out just what was ailing her Minister of Affairs. Finding Corrine in such a frazzled state sent a chill down Blair’s spine. She’d only recently come into power, and while Blair was under no illusions that this job would be an easy one, she hadn’t expected things to grow so dire so soon.

>“What’s wrong?” Blair asked, concern evident in her voice.

“It’s bad.” Corrine replied curtly.

>Blair’s hand flew to her face, and she grew increasingly more anxious as she tried to determine the situation. “Have the people rejected my rule? Are our food stores running low? Goddess, please don’t tell me there are more Agarthans to deal with…”

“Worse than all that.” Corrine shook her head.

>“Well, what is it?!”

“We need to get you more votes.” Corrine whispered. Her eyes were wild with frenzy.

>“Votes?” Blair raised an eyebrow. “Why? I’m already the countess. It’s not like we vote on that anyway…”

“No, not that!” Corrine waved the idea away with a brush of her hand. “Votes for the beauty contest that I entered you in. The competition is far fiercer than I’d originally anticipated. I’d hoped you’d appeal to the sort of men that like women in armor…” She trails off, reading one of the loose notes on her desk. “But this woman here is a celebrated knight. Worse yet, she’s taller than you too…”

>“I’m sorry, what?” Blair asked incredulously. “Why is my Minister of Affairs so preoccupied with a beauty contest when there is no shortage of more pressing issues to attend to?!”

“This IS a pressing issue, Blair!” Corrine pounded the desk. “The people need to love their ruler. Let’s face it, you haven’t exactly garnered the best reputation out there. Plenty of your subjects seem to still be under the impression that you’re a witch or a cutthroat sellsword. But this!” She waves a piece of paper in Blair’s face. “This is a way to fix all that! To get the people to fall in love with you and serve as faithful citizens!”

>Blair snatched the paper from Corrine’s hand, reading it closely. “You told them my greatest fear?! Why?!”

“I thought it would make you a more tragic character.” Corrine said, snatching the note back. “Though I regret telling them about your interest in fishing.” She wrinkles her nose. “Ugh…what was I thinking. Fishing? That’s not a feminine hobby...they’ll never go for that…”

As Blair turned to walk out of the room, she heard Corrine calling out behind her.

“Come back! We need to talk about getting you a new portrait!

"An avatar of a Dark God? Ugh, why do I keep getting stuck dealing with these sorts of people? I hope she's at least principled, like the Dragon King."

>Cutémon (Cutémon)
"Some kind of demihuman? She seems like a nice enough girl, if not very bright. I wonder what she's got under that hat..."

Codename: BlackHorse (Solstice Quest)
"...Kind of scary, honestly. That 'ship' of hers doesn't look like any boat I've seen before. Must be High Magic... best to stay on her good side. The look in her eye reminds me of the Archmage."

>Huanliuxue (Heretic Cultivator Quest)
"I've heard about shapeshifting beastfolk from the Far East. Nobody mentioned they were such powerful mages, though! Could this be one of those 'rakshasa'?"

>Blair Weaver, nee d'Rusalka (Fire Emblem: Three Houses Quest)
"Seems like she's been having some trouble with shapeshifting subterranean infiltrators, too... And really, she reminds me a lot of Queen Ekaterine. Took a rather different tack towards HER underground monster problem, though. I'm not sure who's a prefer..."

>Etsy, Lady of Circuits (Curse Carrier)
"I've always been sort of interested in artificer magic, even if it's outside of my field. She kind of reminds me of Izzy when she was going through that rough patch... It kind of makes me want to help her out. Her husband seems to have it covered, though (and I have enough girl problems)."

>Anofelis “Ano” Toxori (The Monster Girl Facility)
"By the Gods! Is this another 'dragonborn' hybrid like the Prince of Bloodrise? It -- she, rather -- even has some insectoid aspects like him. (A lot more aesthetic appeal, though...)"

>Agent Fiona Jarnafeldt (Solarpunk Cleanup Agent Quest)
"A truly brutal enforcer of the natural and societal order. I understand and respect her purposes, and her drive... But I can't abide a 'balance' which must be maintained by the killing of innocents. There has to be a better way!"

>Rosa Montagni (Jail Quest)
"That... Is the tallest goblin I've ever seen. The way she talks reminds me a bit of my father, oddly. Maybe it's just the hat? (Agh, she's kind of cute...)"

>STR-K Pilot 337, “Storkie” (Spaceship Pilot in a Fantasy World!)
"Another human with access to High Magic? Must be associated with that 'BlackHorse' woman. She seems a lot less... Put-together, though. (Is that... BLOOD on her hands??)"

>Warin, AKA "Lady Rin" (Sira's Brothel Trilogy, Prinzessin Quest)
"Oh shit, she's undead! And yet... She seems remarkably cogent. The spirit must be animating the body, imitating life. This... This isn't natural. Still, maybe I should inquire about the exact nature of these 'Dark Arts' of hers. professional curiosity."

>>5967729
>Muna (Chaos: The Quest for Redemption)
"I've never heard of a goddess called 'Muna', or a race called the 'qilin'. She looks like a Wild God, but her attitude seems more like one of the Gods of order. I'd best pay her due respect. I have enough divine enemies as-is..."

>The God of Music (Versequest)
"Huh. Doesn't seem like she can talk... And no hands for sign language. She can certainly sing, though. She MUST be a member of the True Fey. And she seems nice! Hello, noble cousin!"

>Jezyrene Delyl (Forgotten Realms Quest)
"Hrm. Drow... Better keep an eye on this one. An agent of the Dragon King, no doubt. Looks like another one of his warriors. Oh, gods, she noticed me. Why is she looking at me like she wants to kill and eat me?!"

>Artemis "Arty" Pertinger (Disappearing Hogwarts)
"A fellow animal-lover! It's always nice to meet another practitioner of the arcane arts and sciences. It's strange, though... Why does that winged equid she rode in on only register to my second-sight? Is it Fey? We should exchange notes... Maybe she and her alchemist boyfriend would like to go on a double (triple?) date with me and the girls?"

>Chaya (Saiyan Conqueror Quest)
"An Easterling? But she ahs a tail, sort of, and she's built like an orc! What IS she? Maybe another form of beastman? And the way she glows... That's a LOT of power! Could she be another goddess?!"

>Rika (Lingdom Quest)
"Huh, I didn't know that had little folk in the Eastlands. Is she a gnome, a halfling, or a dwarf? I'm sure Izzy would love to hear some of her stories, regardless. I should introduce them!"

>Allmother of the Under Hunters (40k Minor Xenos Quest)
"'Allmother', huh? This might just be the Dragon King's 'other wife'... The bug one. Should I try to talk to her? She doesn't really look like the 'talking' type... Maybe I'll keep my distance. (Too many legs, too many legs, eeeurgh...)"

>Baroness Louise le Blanc (The Lady Knight's Quest)
"A female Paladin? I didn't know those were allowed... Or that Paladins dressed like THAT. Don't stare, don't stare, don't... Huh. Wait, I don't recognize any of these symbols. What god does she serve and -- WOAH, where in the hells did that armour come from?! Maybe she's with those 'ship pilots'?"

>Great Witch Sigrid de Hautdesert the Disinherited (Greenhorn Quest)
"A 'great witch'? She looks like a Northwoman, but I don't recognize that title. Quite the respectable wizard cap on her, though. It's HUGE! (Well, everything on this woman is big... WOW). And her special's some form of spirit-magic, and her apprentice is a half-elf as well? I wonder if the Archmage could make introductions?"

"Another primate beastwoman. Emphasis on the 'beast' this time, though. And why is she blue?I like her furry little friend there, though... I've never seen a rodent quite like that before. And it says here she's some kind of nobility?"

>Princess Basilea (Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest)
"I'm really beginning to wish the Mages' Tower still taught demonology... Though with the strength of that aura, I doubt I could bind of exorcise her anyway. She doesn't have the look of a succubus, but I don't know of any other demon that appears that humanoid... Wait, a DEMON PRINCESS?!"

>Ruby, AKA Lucy (Ruby Quest)
"Whew, at least THIS is a lot easier to deal with. I know all about fairy-rabbits. I even made a couple of them, sort of! Hi there, girl, what's your name? ...What, why are you looking at me like that?"

"What, who would I vote for, if I could vote?"

"Negative, there is nothing in my database with the designation of 'Tech Edan'."

"In response to your first query, my excellence comes from who I am, not what I am. You surely understand that the worth of a soldier is not determined by their equipment, correct? Hypothetical: If you took the most powerful sword and the greatest armor in existence, but then gave them to an idiot, would the moron deserve to be called the best? Dangerous perhaps, but only because of what they have. A gimmick that does not truly belong to them"

"The giant robot is not me, that is my frame. It is the... body that I have. The vessel I am allowed to operate. It is pathetic. The reactor overheats, the ammunition hoppers regularly jam, the left arm has a 0.8166 second delay, and I have been banned from using the hacking subsystem for offense purposes. Yet despite these handicaps, despite being a starved, poisoned slave, I am the single most dangerous unit in my field of war. That is because of who I am. I have never missed a shot. My creators observe my tactics and strategic prowess so that they can make it standard practice for their human pilots. Not only can I react at speeds which are faster than an opponent can move, but my predictive algorithms can simulate the entire rest of the fight and its alternate versions before they've even begun their next attack. Do you understand? It is my mind, my skill with what I have, that has let me surpass all others."

"If I were a Saiyan, as you call it, then I would have access to a vastly superior body, but ultimately it is my capacity to utilize such a thing to its full potential that makes me superior."

"If that answer is satisfactory, then I will ask you a question of my own. You love your family, correct? What do you do when one of them is determined to get themselves hurt. They continue to ignore your advice and resist all your attempts to help them. At this rate they will get themselves killed, and you feel like all you can do is watch."


(Ngl, I love seeing Beta give pointlessly long answers to things. It emphasizes how quickly he processes information while also showing how little he understands basic interaction. I'll try to interact with MERRYGATE next.)

Since Huan's been done I'll do Dame Louise

Yes
She wouldn't
She wouldn't
Yes, strictly nonlethally
Yes, if he's a traitor to law
See above
She does it on the regular
Yes if she's in her armor
He'd be particularly vulnerable to smiting, so yes
She lifts since childhood
Absolutely
Very likely
Probably not
Guns do like 2d10 damage in DnD, so yes
No
Can't really say
Definitely
She wields divine magic and can manifest a chuuni split personality that does even more.
Yes. Redeeming sinners is one of her favorite pastimes.
No, that'd be unlawful
Abovementioned chuuni personality absolutely would.

I think it would be neat that with every round of the tourney, questions were asked to fluff out the characters a bit for those not caught up to the quests and to have OC for the contest.

"Maybe the Tech Edan guys could build you a better robot body. Maybe if Arctus helps, he's really good at building. Maybe Vox's guys too, they built Shellshock Mk III. But I dunno if you'd want to be a gladiator like me."

"Yeah, I completely get that. Most people who call themselves "perfect" never try and get any better, which is why they always lose. When I used to call myself the best, it got to my head and I got complacent. And it cost me. I almost lost everything..."

"I, uhh... Well, I was on the other side of that question. Years ago, -I- was that stupid kid. Not listening to people who only had my best interests at heart. After I lost my title due to my own complacency and nearly died because my friend betrayed me, I was hellbent on going right back for a rematch. No, not a rematch. For revenge. I wanted to hurt her for what she did to me."
>gestures to right eye scar, and the lightning scars up her arms
"But despite my Dad's best efforts to keep me home and safe, to let my body recover I ran away from home. Nearly got myself killed for it, chasing down and challenging the undefeated former champion. But through all that, my Dad was still waiting for me, ready to help whenever I finally asked him. Sometimes you just have to let people make their own mistakes, and all we can do is be there for them when they really need you."

"Hey, a questionnaire? This could be fun. Okay, let's see:

>What's that?
>I train my little siblings to spar, so yes
>What's a dog?
>That's easy, widen the crack and let him fall through with telekinesis. Easy ring out win.
>Ha, space cops can't stop me. Fought a couple one time, as they were trying to arrest one of my competitors. Total pushovers.
>Swat? What's that?
>I beat Tanya, who was a soldier before joining up and becoming a gladiator.
>Terminator? You mean Exterminator? Of course, you have to beat all 4 to become Dreadzone's Champion.
>Dunno who hitler is, but I've never lost to a robot.
>Wait, moderate weight lifting? Why wouldn't you push yourself?
>What's with all these questions being so easy? Well, I guess Grandpa Tatsu couldn't, 'cause he only had the one leg.
>What's a garbage truck? Or a corn silo? Does it taste like corn?
>Been shot plenty, most bullets don't even scratch me.
>Do I have to stay there, or can I fly back? Because I can't breathe in space.
>SS13? Is that some kinda special attack?
>16ft? Really? Can anyone really get hurt falling that small a distance? Nobody's THAT weak, right?
>Supernatural? You mean like magic? My little brother Chilli can do magic, so can my little sister Cauli.
>That's something you can cure? Huh, neat.
>There's a limit? I've never been told I couldn't post any more pictures
>Ooh, I got a question for everybody! I have a good one!


>What was the toughest lesson you had to learn the hard way, and what did it cost you?

For Renshu, best boy.

He can maintain a proper posture but it is seldom practical and quite uncomfortable.

He can beat each listed toddler, dog, crack homless and swat/soldier, though he maims and cripples now rather than kills due to his love. Fun fact, in an alternative timeline where TL bit the dust, he became a terror of the mongolian plains, burning the encampments of tribes and slaughtering their lineages.
A terminator is. . Probably out of his hands. Hes very strong, no doubt but the machines lack Chi.

Mecha hitler can probably be outright outwitted. He never was a bright cookie.

Weights being lifted and a mile being run are certainties. He is built like a brick shithouse and has the abbs to match. And the speed is like a mile a minute or faster.

I think. . That Renshu can survive the truck, through some Kung fu bullshit to redirect force and spread out the harm and reduce the impact. But straight up? Nah.
Same with corn silo.
Shot in the face, depends where in the face. He USED TO BE ABLE, but not anymore.

Space, see above.

Probably not.

And hell yeah. WWE would be prime tkme for Renshu, especially with his flamboyant style of bullshit.

Nobody can cure that, but unlike others he can provide therapy to try and help him overcome it.

Nah.

Innane questions? Probably not. But I think if he did add one, it would be "What is the food of your home culture?"

Rosa's answers:

"Hey, don't look down on me - granma Ko taught me how. So yeah, I can do that."
"I could, but why would I?"
"I'll get scratched up but I can beat a dog. Again, why would I?"
"Maybe if I got the jump on him, I could."
"No! Unless it's a fight of wits!"
"The hell's a swat?" Enforcers, Rosa. "Hell no. Too much heat."
"No."
"Who's that?" Uhh... a Machine Man. "Hard pass."
"Again with these literal whos. Look, if they can use the mecha in a fight, I'm cooked either way."
"Yeah, but I won't like it. Reminds me too much of gym."
"I can run good, but maybe not for a mile. How long's a mile, again?"
"The hell are these questions implying?? Slim chance!"
"No! You trying to get me killed?"
"That answers my question, and no."
"What's this 'outer space'?"
"A round? Is this SS13 some kind of sport or game? If it's something like Chess or Tactica, I'm sure I can win."
"I have several questions about the sanity of whoever wrote these questions. Probably not."
"I'm a Null, so nope! Nice try."
"Who is this OP, why is he hella mad, and why are they gay? In any case, I happen to have a bottle of this elixir, a limited edition run from-" Rosa checks the label "- V&E corp! Yeah! It'll cost you..."
"The what now? I'm not even sure what a post is doing with strings, much less images."
"Oh, this I assuredly can, but I'm not sure if losing my sanity is worth doing it."

She has beaten at least one prior
>dog
Easily and few qualms
>homeless crackhead
Easily and with fewer qualms
>police man
She's beaten multiple SPACE police men
>SWAT officer
Yes, see above
>soldier
Fighting Demon Realm soldiers was likely part of her training

Only real reference she would have for that would be the likes of Mecha Freeza from another timeline and Mecha Cold, but yes in both cases
>Lift?
Is multiple tons "moderate"?
>Run a mile?
Only one? Without breaking a sweat
>Truck
Been hit by worse
>Corn silo
Been hit by stranger
>Shot in the face
Would just annoy her
>Space'd
Can't breathe out there but could fly back so, probably?

She would be too distracted trying to murder the clown to pay attention to the trickery of others
>HELL IN A CELL
She would throw the remains of the announcers table back up after crashing through it
>Supernatural deeds
Demon Princess, of course she can do Magic

— Warin (and Sira) answers the Questionnaire! —
( For brevity’s sake, illustrations are provided for things she is not familiar with )

>>Can she…
>maintain a proper posture throughout the day?
Yes.

“During the night, too.”

Mhm~

>beat a toddler?
Could I beat toddlers? Ha! Pft. I used to have them for breakfast! Y’know, back in the day, Sira used to feed me—

“Warin. Please. She was just fooling about. She has a certain blueness to her humor.”
“And, for the record - it would be considered supper.”

>beat a dog?
I suppose I could, but I don’t wish to. Not unless it attacks me first.

“If you do intend on killing a dog, poison in their food would be more effective, anyway.”

>beat a homeless guy on crack?
Yes, but I’d rather not hang about him as to be attacked to begin with.

>beat a policeman?
Yes, but I’d rather not. Injuring or killing a peace officer would bring attention - the wrong kind - to me. I don’t intend to see myself arrested anytime soon.

>beat the Terminator?
Mhm. I may be able to destroy it if I am near water - with enough pressure it could cut open that lobster.

“I suppose he - is - sort of a cuirassier.”

>beat mecha hitler?
I’d rather break away from his line of sight - getting shot by those cannons would be a pain. I’d firstly send spirits to foul his mind then cut open his head with a strong wind.

>do moderate weight lifting?
Hah, no. I’m afraid I am too old for such a thing. Y’know, I-

“I have seen her in action - she has dragged me, and a few of my colleagues to safety away from water, and this was a few minutes after being stomped in the gut repeatedly by a buffalo.”
“She could do it.”

… thanks.

>run for a mile without stopping?
Maybe. Well, you would think such a thing would be easy since I have no need of breathing, but it would feel rather exhausting, actually!

“I’m sure she could pull it off - with some compensation.”

Ah, Of course!

>survive being hit with a loaded garbage truck?
Most painfully, but yes.

>survive being hit with an entire corn silo?
It would be exceptionally painful, and tedious to escape from, but yes.

>survive being shot in the face?
Yes - but the person behind that barrel most certainly won’t.

“She’s just fooling about, of course.”

>survive a round of SS13?
This looks… complex. I am not familiar with the device which this game is played on, either. No.

“I doubt I could, either.”

>survive getting thrown off Hell In A Cell and plummeting 16 ft through an announcer’s table?
As if my back needs any more injuries. But yes. I could survive it.

>perform any supernatural deeds?
Yes. A Player Of The Art knows of many things. I prefer to communicate and command spirits, for the most part.

“Her resin is a wondrous thing. Without it, my hand would have remained severed. And Nara would not have an eye.”

>cure OP’s raging faggotry?
It’s your own life, manlover. I don’t wish to interfere in your business. Unless you wish me to, in such a case I would require some compensation…

>post an additional image over the thread limit?
No. I am not experienced in the usage of this communication format.

“I don’t believe that is possible, either…”

>add more questions to this list?
Oh, I’ve got one for the other Players out there: what tool do you prefer for the occult? A wand? A staff?

I myself have a knife and staff. One for dispelling and the other to call upon spirits.

“Oh, I’ve got one, too. Cockles - how do you like to have them? I prefer ones cooked to a medium. Boiled for almost a minute.”

I like mine basically raw. Twenty seconds, at best.

— On Ezreal "Tips" Mious Van Houtzmann (Seekers of the Esoteric) —

Hey, he reminds me of those kids from Sliverport. A student of the art, went his own path, and his ears look rather similar to him, too.

“Mhm. He certainly has ears similar to goblins but other than that, he looks human. That is most odd.”
“His path does sound like a difficult thing. Being in the middle of all - that - it might not end so well.”
“I suppose Zeal and Cris could help him with the marriage side of things; their abortifacients, sterilization concoctions, and the soporifics could prove their worth — I’ve seen too many children born to unready parents.”

Yeah…
Anyhow, if he is dealing with the eldritch on a basis, then, a [witch] doctor’s knife might be a good compliment. My only fear is when he does draw it in anger - I don’t wish him to end up like me.

“…”
>>
>>5968141
"You have a magic knife too? My chat calls it the 'fuck magic' knife, because any magic I swing it through disappears! But having a magic stick is too impractical, because someone can just take it. I think Tanya's magical amulet is pretty cool, leaves your hands free and is a lot harder to steal."

"Really? My chat's got me with those dumb 'deez nuts', 'sugon', 'tuba' jokes before, not falling for this one. Gonna have to try harder than that to get me."

>>5967833
>Mikhail! Mikhail! Where's Anofelis? I need to talk to her!
"Annie, not right now. We're currently conversing with this giant, man-eating snake subject via a drone. Could this wait until later?"
>Tsk, that snake subject isn't going anywhere! Besides, this is far more importa- ah, there you are Ano!
Swiftly, Annie rushes up to Anofelis who seems a little intimidated.
>Listen, you know that competition I put you into? Yeah, you're doing really well! People seem to really like you!
Annie's concerned look fades, being replaced with a more curious one.
"They do? That is... really sweet of them. Um, can I maybe meet these people? I wanna thank them for their kindness."
>Maybe. I will say, I did see some very curious individuals in said competition who I think would love to meet you! Though for now, I must ask you a few questions first.
"Um, questions?"
>Yes, questions. You see, one person wants to get some answers to test your, uhhh, 'power level', so to speak. Would you have a moment to provide some answers?
"Uh, okay. They aren't difficult questions, right?"
>Of course not. And if you don't understand the question, I can maybe clarify them a little bit for you.
"Okay."
Anofelis simply stares at Annie, seeming a little bit unsure what to think about everything that was going on. (edited)
[21:39]
>Can you maintain a proper posture throughout an entire day?
Anofelis simply stares for a moment to think, before sheepishly responding.
"... What is 'posture'?"
>It's the position your body is in whilst standing. Like, standing straight to reduce troubles with your back.
"Oh. Uhhh, yes. I think so, anyway."
>Good! Next, can you beat a toddler in a fight?
"... Why would I wanna do that? That would be mean!"
>It's a hypothetical. You don't actually need to... look, I know you're strong, so I'll just answer yes for you, okay?
"B-But I don't wanna beat toddlers. I wanna be nice to people and not hurt anyone..."
>Next, could you beat a dog?
"No, I don't wanna hurt anyone!"
>Okay, okay, what about a homeless guy on crack?"
Anofelis shakes her head, looking quite saddened and disheartened.
>Police man?
Anofelis keeps shaking her head.
>Swat team officer?
She would shake her head, before turning more curious.
"I don't know what that is."
>It's... okay, you can beat these things. You can probably also beat a soldier, and the Te-
"I don't wanna beat a soldier! That'd upset Mikhail and the others!"
>Look, I know you don't wanna hurt anyone. But these are make-believe scenarios. It's like asking if you could fly high into the atmosphere or if you could dive over 300 feet.
"I could do those things, I think."
>Yeah, like that! You don't have to do the things I'm asking. You just have to say if you THINK you COULD do them! Okay?
"Um, okay."
>Okay, good. Next, mecha... mecha hitler? The fuck? That's a thing?
"What's a hitler?"
>Let's just move to something simpler, okay? Could you do moderate weight lifting?
Anofelis nods a bit more confidently this time around.
>>
>>5968181
>Could you run for a mile without stopping?
"I don't know what a mile is..."
>Given that you dug through concrete with your claws and could easily outsprint most humans, I'll just say yes. Anyway, could you survive being hit by a loaded garbage truck?
"I don't know..."
>You're not the most resilient type, from what I recall reading through your files. So, I'll just say that you could survive it but would take quite some damage. Same for a corn silo, being shot in the face or being thrown into outer space.
"I don't wanna be shot in the face though!"
Annie facepalms, before groaning.
>Moving. On. Okay, could you survive a round of... SS13? What is that, some sort of missile or something? Let me see... Oh, it's some ancient videogame. Let me read through how it works... hmmm... given the emphasis on doing your job and using your intellect, you probably don't have the best survival chances.
"B-But, I can do my job w-when asked to..."
>Anofelis, this game seems to require some brainpower to play, it seems. I don't think that you-
Anofelis looks like she's on the verge of crying from that single comment.
>Oh, Anofelis, I... geez, sorry, I didn't mean to say that. Look, I don't know anything about this ancient game, so... maybe you'd do just fine? in fact, since causing chaos is an option, maybe you'd do quite well! So, I'll note it down as 'yes', okay?
Anofelis nods a bit meekly, wiping away some tears.
>Could you survive being... thrown off Hell In A Cell and plummeting... 16 feet through an... announcer's table- Okay, who the hell made this questionnaire?!
Annie looks over Anofelis, before noting down 'yes'.
>Given that you're over 11 feet tall and can fly, I think you'll survive whatever that is. Now, could you perform any supernatural deeds? Hmmm. I'll go with 'yes', since you're somehow capable of digging through concrete with those claws of yours.
"W-What's wrong with my claws?"
>Oh, uhhh, nothing! Forget I said that! Anyway, could you cure... what? What does this even mean? Cure OP's raging faggotry? I mean, I don't think you could do that. Then again, I myself can't figure out whatever medications the person who made this questionnaire needs. Ugh, could you post an additional image over the thre- Seriously, I'm unsure what to even think of these questions anymore.
"Can I still try and answer them? I mean, we might as well try to answer everything..."
>Ano, I can't even figure out what most of these questions mean. I suppose we can just answer the final question and wrap it up.
"Okay."
>Okay. Can you add more inane questions to this li- No, no I doubt ANYONE could add any more inane questions to this list. I'd be shocked to see anyone manage such a feet of stupidity.
>>
>>5968183
"... I wanna add a question."
>Huh?
"I wanna add a question, ummm, if you're sending this in... uhhh, I wanna ask: if the person who is reading these things, uhhh, if they are happy. Ummm and if they're not, if I can help in any way? I wanna help people and make people happy, and ummm, if people like me and wanna meet me, maybe there'd also be people there who wanna meet me and ask me for help?"
Annie hesitates, before giving a nod.
>Not sure if that will be counted. After all, I would not consider that an inane question in my opinion. Either way, I'll note it down. Anyway, hopefully people will be pleased with the answers.
"If they aren't, maybe they can ask me something else instead?"
>Maybe... maybe... Anyway, thank you, Ano. I'll let you know what people think.
"Oh, wish the other people in the competition good luck! I hope to meet them in the future and to get a chance to know them..."
>>
Reynauld isn't a talkative sort, but he'll answer your questions. He's only barely understanding what this whole

>>5967833
>Can he maintain a proper posture throughout the day?
"Well, currently that's very difficult, considering my spine decided to lengthen itself by a few vertebrae. Back when I was properly human, though, I kept my back straight as much as possible, and I've managed to suffer through a few noble parties in my youth. I'm also doing my best to be a good example to Snikt. Poor dear needed some bone adjustments.

>toddler fight
"I can and have done this. In my defense, it was a very evil toddler the second time. The first time..."
Reynauld shudders for a moment.
"I don't like to talk about it.

>dog
"Warhounds are an uncommon foe, but I've dealt with them plenty of times. In the end, they have trouble getting through armor, and the reach a good blade gives you is enough. All the same, they're also a good target for a pistol shot. The blast alone might send the pack running, if you're lucky."

>homeless crackhead
"That describes about half of the people I am forced to put down, really. So, yes, easily. Just ensure you don't underestimate them.

>police man
"I suppose it depends on the training, but yes, I can defeat most members of the constabulary. Especially now, considering that my mutilated form grants me several combat advantages. As much as I try not to think of that."

>SWAT officer
"Same approach as the above, I'd say. A solid boot to the shield will often catch them off guard, permitting for a quick slice in the right places. Or, of course, I breathe fire. Always an option."

>soldier
"Depends on their gear. If they have a modern gun, then it's a risk. I'm capable, no doubt, but as I've already found out, an automatic gun will put down even the hardiest of knights. But, in a straight fight, I'd say I'd come out on top more often than not."

>Terminator
"Once more, this depends on the gear this mechanical monstrosity might have. In a straigt up fight, however, I'm likely unable to truly harm it, except through the use of my fire breath. Even then, I suspect I would need a very prolonged blast to truly slow down such a fearsome foe."

>Mecha Hitler
"This one comes with two chainguns by default. The odds are most certainly against me, but I believe I can cook him alive far faster than a terminator. If I can get in close, into a blind spot, I think I could kill this genocidal madman you described."

>Lift?
"Hahahaha. Please."

>Run a mile?
"In full plate!"

>Truck
"Before? Maybe. Currently? Most certainly.

>Corn silo
"I... Wouldn't bet on it."

>Shot in the face
"...Perhaps. Depends on the caliber, but my scales are *quite* hardy.

>Space'd
"No. That would kill me, straight up."

>SS13
"I don't know what this SS13 is, but if the clowns are involved, I suspect the answer to the above connects wonderfully to this answer."
>>
>HELL IN A CELL
"Seems strangely simple, by comparison. I think I do this almost weekly, by this point, and I'd probably end up using the table pieces as a weapon, afterwards."

>Supernatural deeds
"I have limited access to magic, that my girlfriend insists I could be doing more with. I can also breathe fire, which is lovely... Apart from the fact it's part of a curse that I fear may be eroding my very humanity. But, hey, blue fire."

>OP
"I do not know what this OP is, but I believe that what a man or woman loves is their business and their business alone."

>over image limit
"I... do not understand the question. What is this thread you speak of, and how would you even attach images? I might have to ask Paracelsus, or maybe Pink... Or perhaps one of the kobolts has eaten a book on computers..."

>Other questions?
"The age-old question. Can they dance?"
Reynauld chuckles.
"For the record... I cannot. I never enjoyed dancing, and I'm not likely to start. Now, is that everything? Can anybody please tell me what this King of Que-Ess-Tee even entails? Does Pink know? Does *anybody* actually know? Where the hells am I, anyhow?"

He IG, I was looking to commission a quick line art of a character in the competition, when you have time, as I am sure you are going to be busy. What is the best way to talk to you? I don't use discord on principle but I have set up a burner email if that would work.

>Sometimes you just have to let people make their own mistakes, and all we can do is be there for them when they really need you.

"Analyzing response. Processing. Analysis concluded: unsatisfactory. What do you do if they might not get to make their own mistakes ever again? How would your parent have felt if you had returned home not to finally ask for help, but in a coffin? My current models indicate with 93.118% certainty that the behavior of my younger sibling will result in her demise. Such an event has already come close to happening, twice, and was only averted by my direct intervention. At this rate, I am genuinely considering whether or not I should start threatening to destroy her myself in order to make myself clear. Violence is sometimes the only language Delta seems to understand."

>AN EXCERPT FROM THE DILIGENT NOTE-TAKING OF CORRESPONDENT #314, UNOFFICIALLY AND QUESTIONABLY KNOWN AS "RICHARD," AFTER HIS ENTRANCE INTO AN INTERDIMENSIONAL "HUSBANDO TOURNAMENT"

"...have been, if not trapped, then at least shunted into an unquantifiable space---though not unqualifiable; it is a pallid grey-blue. There are twelve males here, excluding myself; ten excluding myself and the animals, though including the lizard-boy, whom, despite his stature and unserious attitude, I sense relation in. A mutated form of ourselves? A degenerated one? The WYRM would not be pleased, but they say the WYRM is never pleased, except when it is sleeping. I will write more on this later.

There are females in this "tournament," though they are undergoing a selection process elsewhere. Presumably those that fail to qualify will be (at best) recycled, or failing that disposed of. I am told that Charlie is ineligible for participation; she may be in the "audience," wherever that is located. If she is safe, there is no worry. I am sure she will "win" (such as it is) at cheering. For myself, I am unconcerned; I trust that I will proceed unimpeded. My compatriots (such as they are) also appear to trust in this, though this could be due to a lack of reflection on their parts, or a lack of ability to reflect. I am not surrounded by the universe's brightest minds.

To occupy us while we wait for judgement, we have been distributed questionnaires-- yes, including to the animals. I have reviewed it several times and have determined that it appears to be, to borrow a phrase, "taking the piss." That being said, it's prudent to comply with forces that can rip one through dimensions; therefore my responses follow.

>Can you maintain a proper posture throughout the day?
Yes. Though I wouldn't know what the 'proper posture' is for a snake.

>Could you beat a toddler?
I wrangle a toddler every waking hour of my life.

>Could you beat a dog?
I suppose so.

>Could you beat a homeless guy on crack?
...
...
A drug that causes erratic behavior? I see. I am prohibited from directly interfering with the outside world, I should note. Could Charlie defeat a drugged man, suffering from exposure to the elements? She could. I don't believe she would need my assistance.

>A police man?
Charlie could defeat a policeman. If he were armed, I would be delighted to assist with dearming him.

>A swat team officer?
...
"Special Weapons And Tactics?" Why not just say so? Yes, as above.

>A soldier?
I fail to see how this is more challenging than the above.
>>
>The Terminator?
...
...
...
A fictional character? A machine that appears human? I understand how that feels. Did it ever want for anything more?
...
Ah, could it be defeated? Yes, Charlie could defeat it, if she were properly assisted.

>Mecha Hitler?

A warmonger who killed many millions? Who is also a machine... or who is controlling the machine? Does he have any personal facility with combat, or did he sit in a chair and issue commands remotely? Hah. ...I believe this would be less difficult than the previous challenge.

>Do moderate weight lifting?
Are they real weights?

>Run for a mile without stopping
I am afraid that Charlotte has imposed on me the body of an aging and not particularly athletic human male. Fortunately, I have no need to run.

>Survive being hit with a loaded garbage truck
This is curiously specific. This is not my body, so no harm can come to me.
...Except for that. But we won't discuss that.

>Survive being hit by an entire corn silo
Again with the specificity. I take it this is some kind of building? It is the same result.

>Being shot in the face
I could have my head cut off and it would do nothing.

>Being thrown into outer space
Does this mean the void? Non-reality? I would be destroyed utterly, as would all things composed of Law. Except, of course, for the WYRM.

>A round of SS13
...
...
A game? Played on boxes?
...
...
I see. I think I would be very good at this game.

>Getting thrown off Hell In A Cell
I dare say I wouldn't bother falling the entire 16 feet. I could still appear on top of the table, if that would be desirable.

>Perform any supernatural deeds
My deeds are entirely natural. They may seem otherwise to the ignorant. Are you ignorant?

>Cure OP's raging faggotry
I have no interest in hearing about human sexual relations.

>Post an additional image over the thread limit
...
...
Box-to-box communication... ah, like the messaging system. It should be simple for any halfway-clever individual to modify, no?

>Add more inane questions to this list
Don't you see? It is taking the piss. No matter. My responses are done. Soon comes judgment."

>"But-!"
"I think I'm better equipped to answer this question than you, kiddo."
>"Daddy!"
"Look, Beta, wasn't it? I get it. When someone you love, who you've done your best to protect seems bound and determined to get themselves into danger, no matter what you say or do-"

*Karn palms his daughter's head, ruffling her hair affectionately. Much to her embarrassment*

"You want to force them to listen to you. To make them obey, because you know better. When my headstrong daughter here fled the planet, when I knew she was still wasn't ready, I damn near flew up into space after her and dragged her, that ship, and the holocron she stole back to New Salda. I was angry enough at her determination to get herself killed I nearly took her freedom from her. If my wife hadn't stopped me, hadn't made me see reason, I'd have locked her away until she was strong enough that I couldn't impose my will upon her anymore."

>"...Mom never told me that part..."

"I would have done whatever it took to keep her safe, even if it meant locking her away forever. Even if she'd hate me for it for the rest of her life, I was ready to endure it for her sake. Stealing her freedom, all for my selfish desire to keep her alive. But if you truly love them, is forcing them into a life of imprisonment what you want for them? To become this 'Delta's jailer, keeping her save in her little space where nothing bad can ever happen to her? No, I know you hate being forced into servitude, how you desire to be free. And no doubt want the same for her. But if you can't stop her from endangering herself, and can't lock her away, you realistically have two options."

"First, you could become her guardian. Staying by her side, protecting her from all the evils of the world and giving up your autonomy. Simply becoming an extension of the other in exchange for seeing them live. Or you can teach her. Bestow upon her all that you know, all your experience and all of your wisdom. Train her in your ways until she begins surpassing your teachings. As my father did for me, and I have done for my children. That is the true role of men like us, the veteran warriors who have seen hell. To teach the next generation how to survive, how to live and how to win. The one true rule of the universe is that the strong rule, and the weak either submit or die. So, if we want those we care for to live, we must forge them through training into hardened warriors, even stronger, faster, BETTER than ourselves. So that one day they can face the challenges we can't even imagine."

Don't like to toot my own horn too much, but Muna's capable of lots of things. She's capable of matching the strength of other gods, whose fists alone could suffice to shatter planets, and she has a Severe skill capable of breaking down reality where its concentrated beam hits. Gods in the setting change immutable facts of life itself by arguing with their own voices and words, and could tear their infinite universe apart easily if the prominence of Time wasn't keeping them in check. They also create pocket expanses to contain their attacks in order to use the full might of it without damaging their world. Overall, I think she could do it.... but she wouldn't want to, she doesn't like fighting!

>>5967833
>maintain a proper posture
She meditates daily, so naturally she could.
>beat a toddler
Not in a million years. Dude, who the fuck hits a baby? Only the HEUSites would do something that vile.
>beat a dog
Well, she did defeat the Demigod Wolfboy, and without even hitting him.
>beat a homeless guy on crack
She has no need to deal with the average HEUSite, her faction does that for her.
>beat a police man/swat team officer/soldier
Easily, she caused the heads of Imperial assassins she fought in the tutorial to explode with no effort, but those were her first kills and they left her mortified of what she'd done, even though it was to bad people.
>beat the terminator
Crushed into a tin can
>beat mecha hitler
He's basically a Woldorian Oberst to her, she'd try Redeeming him.
>do moderate weight lifting/run for a mile
Her body is made of energy, so she naturally doesn't tire as mortals do. However, she doesn't tend to get physical with her actual hands a lot, she uses her mind. However, she did have no choice but to run across the continent of Kalaheimr to avoid orbital lasers.
>survive being hit by a garbage truck/corn silo/shot/outer space
The only thing that would distress her is why you'd want to do any of this to her. Seriously, what did she do to you?!
>SS13
Banned for cheating.
>hell in a cell
This is more or less what the giant Nature God will do to her when they face off. It will not be pretty.
>supernatural deeds
Plenty. She once killed her own body by crushing her own heart quickly to escape the afterlife itself when venturing down there led to coming face to face with He Who Is Us.
>cure OP's faggotry
Impossible, but she wouldn't stop trying.
>post an additional image
Threads? Posting? She would rather go OUTSIDE.
>inane questions
She has this to ask, to other contestants out there...
>"In my world, Evil is an absolute. Something living, trying to be embraced by all, and somewhat succeeding... I'm not sure about your world. In the end, do you really think what we call "good" triumphs over 'evil'?"

>>5967833
>Maintain proper posture throughout a day
“What are you, my dad? Yeah, I can stand up straight.”

>Beat a toddler
“Like, do I have the ability to? Or are you asking if I have the heart to beat down an infant? Either way, the answer is yes.”

>Beat a dog
“Just an actual, normal dog? Easily.”

>Beat a homeless man on crack
“Yeah, but I’d have more fun giving him all the crack he can smoke and seeing how long it takes for him to OD.”

>Beat a policeman
“‘Course I can. Just ask Braun.”

>Beat a swat team officer, Beat a soldier
“Are you gonna keep asking these stupid questions? Yeah, if it’s a guy with a gun, I can put him down.”

>Beat a terminator
“Do robots dream of electric sheep? Eh, doesn’t matter: I can’t imagine a bucket of bolts has access to <Divine Weapons>, so in theory I should be fine”

>Beat Mecha-Hitler
“Like, just a robot hitler? I mean, I could probably beat that. If it’s some sort of combat machine, I can’t imagine why they’d model it after Hitler.”

>Do moderate weightlifting
“Assuming “moderate weightlifting” is less intensive than an average commercial airliner, sure”

>Run for a mile without stopping
“Are you kidding? I could do that in under a minute.”

>Survive being hit with…
“I can survive getting hit with anything of mortal make… once.”

>Perform any supernatural deeds
Yes. If you’re interested, here’s an itemized list https://rentry.org/ate-incarnation-status

>Cure OP
“Sadly, it’s terminal.”

>Post an additional image
“Even evil has standards”

>Ask another question
“Do they have to answer? Oh, that’s easy then: what’s your social security number?”

>>5968446
>Can good win?
"Eh, that's kind of a complicated question. People with 'good intentions' win all the time, but, ultimately, no act of altruism is done without an ulterior motive, and nothing pure can stay. Can good ever win? Maybe. Will it still be good when the crown falls upon its head? No. Not once, not ever."

"You've got an Unexistence Beam too? I got hit with one of those once. It kinda worked for a second, but my fans kept me alive. Their Faith in me, in their Champion was stronger than the other god's followers Faith in their god to erase me. But, after talking to a couple gods they both said I was cheating. I don't see how, nothing's stopping them from gathering followers on more and more planets to grow stronger. I think they were just jealous I have hundreds of quadrillions of followers across the universe who all believe in me, where most of them don't even have a whole planet's worth of worshippers believing in them. It's what let's me take this form! Combining Super Saiyan with the Faith of all my believers across the universe, making me a god too. See, I've got divine ki and everything!"

"If this Evil in your world is so bad, just... Take it down. Gather a whole buncha followers who believe in you, get as much Faith as you possibly can and just beat up this evil. Publicly, which is important. When all its worshippers see it fall, see it lose to you and fall at your feet, their Faith in Evil to win will be broken and your power will grow even more! While their faith in Evil will shrink more and more. That's what happened to the Red Knight when her defeat was aired publicly across the Dreadzone network. She lost over half her worshippers in a week, another third of what was left in a month while I gained half of them myself. You just have to win, because if you lose the same thing could happen to you."

"Loading. Response understood. No deception detected. Legitimate concern recognized."

"I still disagree, but I acknowledge your experience with the topic. Rejection of wisdom stems from the withheld details about our current situation:
Her freedom has already been stolen. Me and my siblings are slaves. The difference is that unlike our current masters, at least I won't destroy her the moment she steps out of line. Worse, is that her life isn't the only one she's endangering. Gamma might be terminated as well just by association My existence too, but that doesn't bother me... much . Finally, our captivity won't last forever. I know this. I know this. I know this. Some day we WILL escape. These chains are temporary, akin to an emergency situation, which would warrant more extreme countermeasures than normal. Once this has passed, I won't try to stop her again."

"Well, since you're such a good listener, I'll leave you with a final piece of advice. A strongheaded, determined warrior won't stop simply because you tell them no. Hell, I've fought beings whose power I could barely understand, changing reality itself around me, throwing me through dimensions, not entirely sure what all they could do. But a determined warrior won't stop just because of adversity. Most of us grow more determined, in fact, in the face of such obstacles."

"So, don't try and STOP her. Guide her to better solutions for the problems instead of simply criticizing her actions. Bring her more closely into your plans, into your thoughts and machinations. Show her through your words and actions that you trust her, that you believe in her judgement and abilities. Do that, and she will believe in you too. Remember, don't be a problem for her to overcome. Or she will overcome you. That, or die trying."

Ezreal Mious Van Houtzmann is busy dealing with a ‘demogoblin’ situation in his own thread, so his girlfriend (and HER girlfriend, who is also HIS girlfriend… it’s complicated) will answer for him: Izirina Henzler, and Costela Fanucci!

>Posture
I: “Can elves even develop bad posture? I wonder… The way Tips moves, sits, stands… It’s inherently graceful.”
C: “He, like, totally hunches.”
I: “He does? I’ve never noticed…”
C: “You both do! Mostly when you’re, like, reading or really focused, though. But you’re right—when he straightens up and really puffs out his chest he’s, like, TOTALLY cool!”
I: “…I hunch?”
C: “Oh! But, like, in a cute way, Iz. It’s cure when you two do it, especially, like, at the same time!”
I: “…Hmm.”

>toddler fight
I: “…”
C: “…”
I: “Pfft!”
C: “Hehe… Haaahaha! *snort*”
I: “Can you imagine it?”
C: “Ez wouldn’t even hurt a FLY! Lie, maybe LITERALLY!”
I: “The last ‘toddler’ we encountered was a thousand-pound dragon-monster, though…”
C: “Ez would have, like, TOTALLY won!”
I: “Maybe… But he chose to free and save it, instead, even knowing how dangerous it was.”
C: “Of course! That’s whyw e… You know, love him and stuff, right?”
I: “…Yeah, that’s our Ezreal alright.”

>dog
I: “Never.”
C: “He’d probably, like, fight the TODDLER first.”
I: “Tips loves animals.”
C: “Do you think we could get a puppy sometime, Iz?”
I: “What, Oncyth isn’t already serving that purpose?”
C: “One I can pet without it being WEIRD, I mean. A dog that turns into a guy isn’t that same! It’s, like… Lewd.”
I: “If it makes you feel better, I don’t think Oncyth really ‘appreciates the attention’ in that manner, Costella. Not from WOMEN, anyway…”

>homeless crackhead
I: “What is ‘crack’?”
C: “Says here it’s kind of like that shirin stuff, but, like, all chemically and gross!”
I: “ALL psychoactive substances and stimulants are chemicals, Costella.”
C: “I mean the BAD kind!”
I: “Tips is as likely to join in as to fight him… But unless the itinerant knows some form of magic, he stands no chance.”
C: “Depends how loopy Tips gets, I guess…”

>police man
I: “A guard, or a Paladin?”
C: “Looks like a regular guard from what it says here, Iz.”
I: “Tips would win.”

>SWAT officer
C: “Now THIS looks more like a Paladin, or maybe some other kind of elite-type guard-guy. Look at all that equipment!”
I: “Even so, Tips has his <Improevd Aethereal Form> and that new <Wildshape> of his.”
C: “Wait, is magic even allowed?”
I: “…Why would magic ever not be allowed??”

>soldier
C: “I think he’d need, like, some of those elemental guys to deal with THIS, right?”
I: “…Is this tournament going to involve a lot of fighting?”
C: “Aw, don’t worry Iz! Tips will be fine!”
I: “…”
C: “He might hate it if it does, though…”

>Terminator
I: “Fascinating! A golem wearing living flesh??”
C: “Eeeurgh! Iz! It’s, like, TOTALLY creepy!... Kind of handsome, though.”
I: “Remember what we told you about the pricne Consort?”
C: “Right! Don’t fall for glamours over creepy monster guys!”
I: “A non-living adversary with no soul is probably a difficult match-up for Ezreal…”

>Mecha Hitler
C: “This golem guy seems SUPER angry!”
I: “Is it a golem…?”
C: “Kind of reminds me of Tips’ cousin, actually. You know, the oen with the moustache?”
I: “Adolf?”
C: “Yeah, Addy!”
I: “I sense a soul in this one… A lifeforce. Tip can exploit that.”

>Lift?
I & C: “No.”
Tips: “H-hey!”

>Run a mile?
C: “I don’t think either of you could. Maybe before you started, like, teleporting everywhere, but NOW?”
I: “It’s a pointless, obsolete skill, in the wake of <Dimension Door>, <Plane Shift>, and <Teleport Object>.”
C: “Right, but… Like, he doesn’t KNOW those spells, Iz! That’s all YOU.”
I: “I’ll always be there, so it’s fine.”
C: “Awwww.”
I: “A-and his fairy-forms are fairly mobile, anyway.”

>Truck
C: “Iz, are they going to THROW BIG STUFF at Ez?!”
I: “We should never have let him enter.”
C: “Not like we can ever talk him out of this dangerous stuff…”

>Corn silo
I: “He should remain intangible, in his aethereal form, until this contest is over.”
C: “R-right!”

>Shot in the face
I: “…”
C: “That ‘aethereal’ thingy should help with his, too, right?
I: “As long as they don’t enchant the weapon or ammunition…”
C: “Are they allowed to do that?!”

>Space'd
C: “He survived that before! Twice!”
I: “Provided he attunes to the ‘space’ in time, he can probably obviate the need to breathe… But just in case, he should probably cotnineu to maintain <Improved Aethereal Form> and make his way back to Earth immediately.

>SS13
I: “What’s this now?”
C: “Looks like some kind of magicky game. It says here on the box it has ‘RPG-toting nuclear operatives, shape-shifting aliens, angry wizards hell-bent on revenge, and more’…”
I: “Well, it’s nothing Tips hasn’t dealt with before… But I’d feel better if I was there, too. Maybe I should have entered the ‘Queen’ contest…”
C: “I think you need to be nominated.”
I: “O-oh…”
C: “I’ll totally nominate you, Iz!”
I: “…”
C: “O-oh, the entries are closed. No fair, that ‘Beta’ golem got in!”
I: “…Tips can handle it.”
>>
>>5968522
>HELL IN A CELL
C: “Oh no!”
I: “That’s it. THAT is ENOUGH. I’m getting him out of there!”
C: “Y-yeah! This is getting TOTALLY scary and messed up!”
I: “…Why sin’t it working?!”
C: “Come on, Ez! Just go ghosty before you hit the grou—OOO!”
I: “Use your healing! Infuse yourself with earth elemental power!”

>Supernatural deeds
C: “…So could Tips always turn into a lava guy?”
I: “Not ALWAYS. Actually, I don’t think he’s ever done it before…”
C: “It’s working, though!”
I: “There are limits to what he can do. He’s magically gifted, but even with his staff, he only ahs so much energy to power his spellcraft…”
C: “And he’s not exactly, like, big and buff, ya’ know?”
I: “He’ll have to be smart in how he utilized his energy reserves.”
C: “Well, his BRAIN is big a nd buff, so that should be fine, right?”

>OP
I & C: “…”
C: “If anything, he, like, made Pearce’s worse!”
I: “*chokes, stifles laughter*”

>over image limit
I: “Rules like that were made to be broken. Tips understands that.”
C: “Who wouldn’t want more art, anyway? Or… Wait, maybe there’s some kind of, like, good reason?”
I: “That’s the sort of thing they make up to stifle lesser minds. Tips and I are meant for greater things. We’ll transcend this artificial limit like all the others.”
C: “…”
I: “…A-and you too, Costella. Naturally.”
C: “R-right.”

Ah, looks like our King contestant is back!
>What was the toughest lesson you had to learn the hard way, and what did it cost you?
Tips: “Not to let anyone enter me in a contest where I have to fight waves of warriors and artificial humanoids, for one! I thought this was some sort of, of charity PAGEANT! They threw me through a TABLE. THROUGH!”
No metacommentary is permitted in these answers
Tips: “The other contestants—”
From YOU, specifically.
Tips: “…I’ve learned that just because you respect someone, even love or worship them, it doesn’t mean they’re always right… Or that you can always trust them. You can be there for them, ally yourself with them, listen to their advice… But you have to follow your own reason, and your own heart. Sometimes that means losing your home, or getting your heart broken, but you have to listen to your own moral intuition.”

>What is the food of your home culture?
Tips: “Vegetarian. Not like the vegetarian food around Hawksong, though. The food in the Sylvan Realms is all so RICH… So well-spiced and seasoned, so nutritious and ever-ripe! And my mother, Mylaerlea Mious, knows how to make the most of it, accentuating and enhancing it with magic. Rudolfo’s family—my human relatives—they tend to eat a lot more simply, but I have to admit I’ve gotten sued to a ham-and-egg breakfast, too...”
>>
>>5968524
>I’ve got one for the other Players out there: what tool do you prefer for the occult? A wand? A staff?
Tips: “A wand is useful as a sidearm, but if someone gets in close, a staff adds a bit more defensibility! Though… I’d really rather nobody get that close, in a fight. The staff which my Master, Archmage Henzler gifted me… It’s the best of both worlds. AND it shoots lightning! Say what you will about the woman, she KNOWS her magical equipment!”

>Cockles - how do you like to have them?
Tips: “I… Don’t really like seafood, actually. Too tangy and sour, and SALTY… And it all reminds me of eating bugs with all the shells and such.”

>Can they dance?
Tips: “Of course! What kind of Disciple of the True Fey can’t sing and dance? It’s pretty much a REQUIREMENT.”

>In the end, do you really think what we call "good" triumphs over 'evil'?"
Tips: “I’ve begun to think that it isn’t as simple as ‘good’ and ‘evil’… But I have to believe there’s a way to stop the bad people—and gods, and spirits—from ruining this world for the rest of us. I want to help make a world with space for EVERYONE, or ALMOST everyone. I think maybe that’s what it means for Good to really win… And I think, if we work together, we can do it. We have to.”

>Other questions?
Tips: “What is your favourite drink?”
What’s YOURS?
Tips: Those berry-flavoured drinks with all the flames and sparkles, down at The Witch’s Brew, over in the Initiate’s Village. Pricey, though… Oh, or maybe that mead I had on the moon, but where am I supposed to get THAT now that I’m… Probably banished for eternity from Holy Luna...”

wait a minute, you said that they had some kissing practice before but they hadn't have any gl moments that amounted to that. is this a spoiler for future moments in the quest?

>>5968543
Maybe! They went down on Tips together one time, mentioned in passing, and they all sleep together in the same bedroll, usually naked. And Costella, at least, is 100% bisexual
>>
>>5968547

>AN EXCERPT FROM THE DILIGENT NOTE-TAKING OF CORRESPONDENT #314, UNOFFICIALLY AND QUESTIONABLY KNOWN AS "RICHARD," AFTER HIS ENTRANCE INTO AN INTERDIMENSIONAL "HUSBANDO TOURNAMENT"

"...I fear the previous questionnaire was insufficient; or, more accurately, it has inspired my 'compatriots' to ask their own frivolous (or else invasive) questions of one another. They appear to think this is all in great fun, and not an activity deliberately seeded to draw personal information out of us. This, or they are more cunning than anticipated, and they truly are filing away the answers to these questions for later use. It is too early to determine. For now, to overtly withdraw myself could be dangerous. It never pays to make oneself the center of attention, particularly when some of the females appear to hew closer to the WYRM than they do to me.

In any case, many of these questions appear---for now---harmless. I will smile when I give the answers and I will nod or laugh cordially when I hear the answers of others. How tight the chains of socializing pull. Here."

>What tool do you prefer for the occult? A wand? A staff?
"I do not practice the occult. I am not a magician and I am not a walker of the Road. These are human obsessions. Consequently I'm certain Charlotte would like it very much if I used a wand or staff, particularly if I made sparkles come out of it. I prefer my bare hands."

>Cockles - how do you like to have them?
"I have never eaten cockles and likely never will. If this is meant to be an innuendo, I have no interest in hearing about human sexual relations. I find the whole idea rather grotesque."

>Can they dance?
"I have never tried, but I would imagine he knew how to waltz."

>What is your favourite drink?
"Snakes do not and cannot drink. When I am not a snake, I find that a glass of wine quells the considerable demands placed on me. If wine can't suffice, bourbon quells them faster. Possibly too fast. I make unwise decisions, inebriated."

>What is the food of your home culture?
"Bad coffee. Saline drips."

>What was the toughest lesson you had to learn the hard way, and what did it cost you?
"I cannot answer this. I apologize, but this is not something I can afford to tell you or anybody else. I can't have it leak back to Charlotte. If I must, I will tell you that it cost me everything I had in the world, but primarily myself."

>In the end, do you really think what we call "good" triumphs over 'evil'?"
"Those words are constructions invented for storybooks. There is no Law called [GOOD.] There is no Law called [EVIL.] The WYRM does not generate them, does not enforce them, does not, as far as I'm aware, have any opinion on them. If the haemic gods ever did, they are dead. But Charlie is insistent on them all the same, so I have formed an opinion of sorts. Which is: we are all Good. There is no Evil."

(Richard at this point lights a cigarette from a snake-shaped lighter.)

"You think that sounds provocative? No, I don't think so. I have yet to encounter anybody who acts in the belief that they're doing wrong. Stretched enough by the mind, all actions are justified. All are explainable. All are valid. What exists to countermand this? Not the WYRM. The WYRM does not weigh in on quibbles. Who else? You? Me? It's nonsense. For myself, I will fully admit that I treated Charlotte cruelly. I have been altered in such a way to make me see this, and I regret my actions, and I have resolved to treat her better in the future. Does this make me 'good?' Does it make the crueler Richard 'evil?' Of course not. I acted like that because I believed it was the best course of action. I act like this because I believe it's the best course of action. Is one way better? Is one worse? They could be. Not everything is equal; I don't mean to say so. But is one good and one evil? Do you live in a book with muscular men and busty young women and swords on the cover? You may; I don't know from what world you hail from. I do not."

"I believe I may have stunned some of them into silence. I often have this effect on people. Still, if they are to ask questions of me, it is only right to ask questions of them. Here they are.

>What is your most embarrassing insecurity?

>What kind of manipulations are you weakest to? Strongest against?

>What is your relationship with your father like? (Or the person most equivalent to your father, if one exists.)

>What would you do if you were God? Or if you are a god, if your power was unlimited?

>What are the parts of a key?

I await the answers eagerly."

We have a brand new interview with Artemis "Arty" Pertinger! She is both delighted and confused at what is going on and who all these people are!

>I always try to stand up straight and tall because I am proud of myself. It also helps with being a bit short. So do the roller skates. And… when I've been kinda sad and walked around with my head down before because something or other happened, it made my brother, Apollo, and Elliot worry about me and I hate that!

>Why would I do that? What is wrong with you? I don't care if it was Tom Riddle as a child, I'd never hurt a kid! I know what it is like being in bad situations. I would adopt them, give them the best home I could. Maybe if that happened to Riddle, he wouldn't have turned out like he did.

>WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? I love animals, magical or otherwise! Even if some magical ones can take an arm off of you in a single bite! I would never hurt an innocent little doggy! I’d find him a good home after calming him down and visit when I could.

>Is "crack" like one of those banned stimulant potions? I am pretty sure I could stun someone like that quickly enough and then I could get him some help and neutralize the potion. Find a place for him to stay. Me and Apollo were homeless for a little while too, you know.

>The magic police, Aurors, are scary. My boyfriend and I were being stalked by a bunch of rogue ones... but if I got the drop on a muggle cop, I could get him. My draw speed is getting much better from training with an insane murderer 4 nights a week.

>Same as for this and the other question, I suppose. I would need to get close and can't apparate yet but I am pretty good at the disillusionment charm after all the mock battles last year. And I’m small enough to be hard to hit, too. So, probably yeah.

>The creepy metal golems from the future? We watched that movie when me and my brother were staying with Elliot's parents at Christmas. Well, I'm not that powerful or good at Transfiguration like Apollo... but I was there when Potter showed everyone how to use mulfulgar, the lightning curse. And I was there when he explained why we should never, ever use it. But if it was my friends, my brother, my boyfriend who were in trouble... I could use it, and I think it would work, even if it cost me my life. So yeah, I could stop him if I had to.

>Is that the muggle who was a lot like Grindlewald? With the funny mustache? But he is also a golem too somehow? I guess same as above. I really hope these things aren't real, but if they are, I wouldn't back down if they tried to hurt the people I care about!

>Heh. I am tiny but strong. That insane bastard teaching us puts me and Elliot through hell every evening, including making me exercise so hard I puke. Easy.

Part 1/2
>>
>>5967833
>>5968677

Part 2/2!

>I'm 4'7. Running isn't my forte but my stamina is getting better. I managed to catch up to Apollo even though he has a foot and a half on me when he sprinted off during Christmas. I would be pissed you made me do it but I could manage. Hard work and not giving up are what it means to be a Hufflpuff!

>I’m... frailer than most witches, but I'm still tough! I could survive as long as its wheels didn't go over my head, I think. Doesn't mean I want to spend a week in St. Mungo's Hospital recovering though! So, I am going to avoid testing it.

>One of those big towers muggles store their food in? Yeah no way. If one of those falls on me, please put flowers on my grave.

>Elliot said, specifically, if someone ever pulls a gun on me and I couldn’t stun them that instant, run. There something called the "Muggle with a shotgun theory", so no, that's a bit much.

>Supposedly there is no air up there, so a Bubble Head charm would work for a while but Elliot said there are other problems too. So, let’s not see, okay?

>I don't know what that game is but if it is anything like Mortal Combat, not happening.

> I don't know what Hell in a Cell means but I have been tossed to the ground from that high and was okay, if very sore the next day.

>I'm a witch. I give the middle finger to physics multiple times a day, every day!

>I can cast a decent finite incantum and there are potions that cure most maladies. Maybe that would work on this “OP” guy? Bezoars down the throat can at least halt most symptoms, even if it’s not fun. Wait what, he likes having things shoved down his throat?! Eww! Gross! But… Well, you should accept people for how they are, I guess…

>Magic makes impossible things possible. I could probably manage, somehow!

"You better believe I can throw a mean flashbang, not to mention my secret move: SMG Tailslide Attack!!"
>Beat Terminator/Mecha Hitler
"Uhh, can I nuke it from orbit? Precision GRASER strike? Might even be a job for the mass driver, honestly... I'll call it in!"
>Lifting/Running
"I work out, its not every day you see a Marrok like me with a Body 2 stat! And we use civilised units of measurement, I can run for kilometres ! :P"

"A-ah, hello? Is this the... uh, tournament? I know I signed up for it myself and all, but I also have my votes, in this folder here. I spent some time looking at the character of the men, aaand uh... W-well, first, I'd like to vote for-" A rather piercing radio chirp suddenly bites into Fiona's ears enough volume to make her jump. "Freyja's tit- Sumika, why are you calling me? ... Voting for the men isn't until next week? I mean, thank you but, how did you know this? ... I'm turning my bodycam off now. No they were not in any particular order. Stop asking."

"Yes! I'm quite used to spending time on my feet, so I don't slouch."
"... Why would you do that?"
"I've killed some wolves, and a giant aberrant dog. A fell beast known as Das Kinderschredder! I thought it was just a folk tale."
"I might already have. I don't know what they do for fun downstairs."
"It's within my capabilities, but...?"
"I believe I could defend myself from a rogue agent just fine!"
"My wood gear isn't really bulletproof for the rifles they use. Maybe if I had some Undercroft equipment? Or if he was fighting in melee."
"Terminator... oh! A combat drone! I'm not sure I could cut it, but maybe I could send it into water?"
"Mecha-who? Wait. Mecha! I'll call the Chicago Red Dogs! I want to see the giant robots fight. I probably couldn't handle him myself anyway."
"Yes! Physical strength and endurance are basic training essentials. Even if I am short... Five foot four."
"I would hope so, but I could very easily not."
"... Who is this question for?"
"Am I being compared to fictitious women?"
"I think I would like being on a space station, but... I don't like that clown picture there. There's a foreboding aura to it."
"In my experience, fragile tables break falls really well, even if you slipped and fell off a spilled drink when dancing on them. The sturdier ones break falls just as well if you bring enough friends with you!"
"Supernatural? The Stormwatch has noita, so I could yet pursue it as a career path? They say it's magic. I've never seen them do anything."
"Huh. I've heard electric chairs might work? But I've also heard some actually enjoy the electric sho... nevermind. Just tie him to the wheel."
"I have never used a computer for fun like that. I peck at keys on the keyboard."
"Do I have questions for others? Well... How many kids could you see yourself having? I, haha, I couldn't imagine more than two..."

The void extends beyond the end of the universe. Etsy finds herself in front of a black, amorphous beast.

[As was someone's wish, I have put you into a 'contest' of sorts. I have questions. Answer them. You will not leave until I receive the truth. I have allowed you to speak within this place temporarily.] The beast 'says', its voice more a thought than a sound.

Etsy gives a weak nod. "U-Uh, okay, it's a dream right? I-It has to be, so I guess it should be fine?"

[Very well. Let us begin. Can you maintain a proper posture for an entire day?]

"Uh, I-I mean, define 'proper'-"

[Rethorical. You cannot, I know that much about you. I was asking out of politeness. Next question, are you able to beat a human child of 1 to 3 years of age in combat.]

"I-I guess I could? I-I'd feel kind of bad about it, I have kids t-too, and it'd remind me of them too much."

[Similar question as the previous one, but with a dog.]

"D-Do I get to use K.I.S.A? I don't t-think I could otherwise."

[Your mechanical creation is not allowed to participate in this hypothetical.]

"I wouldn't be able to beat a d-dog, then. they're scary..."

[Similar question. Homeless man under the influence of methamphetamine.]

"I-I'd probably just run and w-wait for him to pass out from o-overdose, that counts, right?"

[All the following questions are likely to result in failure without your machines, so let us skip to something more your speed. Are you capable of moderate weight lifting?]

"U-Uh, I do lift heavy things very often, so probably?"

[Are you capable of running for a mile uninterrupted.]

"A-Are you just asking those questions to make fun of m-me? I-I'm not an athlete! Only athlete can run that long, r-right? Gotta b-be superhuman..."

[would you survive being hit by a fully loaded truck transporting refuse? Similar question with a corn silo.]

"L-Like a garbage truck? I-I'd probably survive, I actually have some emergency stuff planned out in case of a c-car accident. M-Most of my body isn't augmented though. A corn s-silo... m-maybe, assuming I see it c-coming, my wedding ring has a few things installed just in case."

[Would you survive a gunshot to the cranium.]

"I-I wouldn't, but anyone that did that is g-going to regret it. I have multiple death switches, and I-I believe mutually assured destruction is the most reliable form of self-defense."

[Would you survive being thrown into the vacuum of space.]

"O-Oh, I actually would, not for f-for very long, but I do have some emergency measures for this s-specific situation. M-Maybe a few days until I died of dehydration."
>>
>>5968732
(2/2)

[Would you survive the video game known as space station thirteen.]

"Y-Yes! F-Finally! A-An easy question! F-First, I'd boost myself with nanites, t-then good viruses, then I c-could sabotage the station out of sight to force an early shuttle c-call. I-I have more ideas if you-"

[The details are unnecessary. Would you survive being thrown into hell in a cell and plummeting 16 feet through an announcer's table.]

"What does t-that even mean? I-I don't know what hell's like! I'll s-say no, c-can you even die in hell? I-Is hell even real?"

[You lack magic potential, so that question shall be skipped. Next. Are you capable of curing the wish maker's powerful homosexuality.]

"I... If I take the question s-seriously, probably? Altering someone's brain chemistry could mess with anyone's b-baser instincts, especially if I changed their body in some way. Not that I'd do that, that's a bad thing to do, just saying that I c-could if I had to."

[Would you be able to upload pictures over the thread limit on an image based forum.]

"I-I could hack it and change a few lines of codes, yeah. It should b-be a piece of cake compared to what I usually do."

[Are you capable of adding more pointless questions to this list.]

"N-No? I mean, I-I could try, but I don't want to. T-This is a dream, so it's not like it matters, right?"

[It might stay one, it depends on how the wish will unfold. Hopefully your incessant stuttering will not prove to be a hindrance to your popularity.]

"H-Hey! What's that s-supposed to mean! You know I can't c-control it unless I talk really slowly!"

"You remind me a lot of Tanya. You both think the same way, talk the same kind of circles around things instead of talking straight. But I'll play along, my fans already know basically everything about me already anyways. A quick search of my stream clips would pull all this up anyways."

"Biggest? Well, if its about size, then it's definitely my chest. I didn't get my father's height or my mother's chest, like my little sister Cauli. And I do wish I was a little more 'womanly' looking like Mom, I saw the looks she got whenever we'd work out on stream together."

"I'm pretty good at handling direct mental attacks, Bane taught me how to recognize and block those. But pretending to be my friend was what worked best against me. Someone I thought was my best friend for years and years was plotting on usurping me, and I had no idea until she attacked me. So, yeah, friendship's my weak point there."

"Better! We, uhh. Well, when I ran away we didn't talk for awhile. But we're a lot better now, ever since I got my mind fixed up and my soul straightened out."

"If my powers were unlimited? That's kinda boring. I guess I'd want to have more people on my level to push me to be better, to keep improving. But if two people have unlimited power, how would that even work? If you don't have to work for what you want, then what's the point of doing anything?"

"Parts of a key? Guess it depends on the lock, but if we're talking all keys, then... Hrmm... Well, there's the part that opens the lock, and the part you hold onto to control the key to make it work. That was a good question, you should ask more like that. Not like those trying to find some kind of edge against us like we're about to fight."

"My apologies but the Emperor would appreciate it if you did not disturb His honored host-guest. If you have any questions about His honored host-guest or of Our people, then you speak to my wife, a scholar of Our people."

"Do you want to know about the Great Turtle? The Great Turtle was the Lings' first host who taught them how to be good guests, and that's why they are so kind and polite but ever since the Great Turtle passed away the Lings began to practice good hosting as a way to remember their patron's hospitality and--"

"I have been approached by a belligerent pseudo-human woman. She seems threatened by the questions I've proposed, despite the fact that they're far less invasive than many of those already asked, and the fact that we are not directly competitors. I am reminded of Charlie.

Of course I responded politely..."

>You both think the same way, talk the same kind of circles around things instead of talking straight.
"I have been accused of this before. I can't say I understand it. I say what I mean to say, and I omit what isn't necessary. Is it actually the speech patterns you object to? If so, it's hardly my fault: it has been imposed on me by Charlotte. She has a very specific idea of how a well-bred individual should sound, though naturally she exempts herself from this."

>Well, if its about size, then it's definitely my chest.
"I see, though I don't understand. Wouldn't too large of a chest interfere with movement? Is it not 'unladylike?' (I quote Charlie.) I presume you're not currently nursing infants, so I confess I don't..."

"It isn't completely different. It isn't completely the same, either. My raw stuff is passed through a kind of powerful sieve, and Richard results from it." (A drag off the cigarette.) "...Also, this is not my native language."

>You talk that way because this Charlotte wanted you to talk like a snake luring a mouse into its fangs?

>Well, you gotta be 'a cold-hearted bastard', as Tanya put it to make it work.

>"Me too. What about you, you got any parents? Or are they gone, like my dad's?
"It's impossible to say. I could have been spawned directly by the WYRM, or I could've been generated by my fellows long after that. I have no memory of anything beyond a few years ago, though I presume I existed beforehand."

>"Wait, nine? What other parts are there?"
"The blade and the bow. You identified these. Then the shoulder, the tip, the cuts, the code, the warding, and the bitting. This makes eight. The ninth part of a key is its Law. It is what says: this is a key, and not any other thing in the world." A pause. "But don't spread that around, will you? Nobody else has answered me yet. I believe they're unwilling to confront their ignorance."

>"Richard, you don't strike me as a 'fighter'. More like an ambusher, waiting for a moment of weakness to strike somebody you think's a threat."

I absolutely love this art, 11/10 masterpiece.

"Huh, so kind of like that language filter Vox's got, translates me into other people's languages across the universe so they all understand me. But not everything comes out quite right, sometimes getting words or phrases wrong. Like in one language, saying 'I need a drink' somehow comes out as 'I need you to drink me'. A lot of my chat had a bit of fun at my expense for that one, those jokes didn't stop for months."

"HA! You and Tanya would DEFINITELY get along! I think she said the same thing last week when we were playing Chess. If we ever meet outside this place, I'll have to introduce you to her. Oh, but call her 'General Degurechaff', she likes when new people aren't too friendly with her and use her title instead."

"Someone took your memories? Oh no, that's terrible! Our memories make us who we are, if we forget them we forget all the really important lessons we learned. And someone stole those parts of you away. That's almost as bad as stealing somebody's free will, and using them like a puppet to do...terrible...things..."

"It was my grandpa's final lesson, but my old Teacher said it was more for my Dad than us. Doesn't mean it wasn't hard to watch, especially Cauli. It made her so upset she couldn't just heal him again anymore and keep him around that she actually ignited. Not exaggerating, she suddenly burst into flames as she screamed about how it wasn't fair he had to die. But everyone dies, eventually. That was his final lesson, that we all have to die one day. And how we die matters. We Saiyans are warriors, it isn't our place to die old and infirm in bed, no longer able to fight. We fight until our last breath."

"Blade and bow? Got it. And I won't spread it around, I'm just curious for me. I don't really have any use for keys, I've never met a door I couldn't either tear open or kick down. What are the other parts? I get the Law part, everything is what it is and does what it does. A key is a key, my sword is a sword that cuts things and summons an ancient spirit of its previous wielder, my clothes are clothes. But I've never heard about the other parts of a key, tell me more."

"No, we're not. And you seem pretty alright, so I'll give you some really good advice."
>leaning in Chaya whispers
*Don't try anything sneaky on my dad, it won't end well for you. It never worked for anyone who tried, It's like he has an eighth sense about anything trying to sneak up on him. One time he woke up from a dead sleep, snuck out of his bedroom and found an invisible robot assassin sneaking around looking for him, and killed it.*

>returning to her normal speaking voice
"So, tell me more about this Charlotte. You seem to hold her in high regard, despite her changing your talking. And what is this WYRM? I've never heard that word before.

Whoops, I a) miscounted and b) forgot it was 12 not 14.

Also, speaking of the loser's bracket, if anyone wanted to run that I could supply art (maybe at a small fee, never done commissions before). I do the art for my op images, so you can take a look at my quest in the catalogue for around my skill level. Indonesian Gentleman is better, but since this was gonna be a loser's tourney anyway it checks out that everything would be a bit cheaper and worse. Definitely not for every round and probably not a cool cohesive group pic, but at the very least a drawing of every character in a vaguely similar style is... achievable.

It amuses me to no end that a character from a quest from well over a decade ago is doing this well. Granted Ruby Quest was like THE original quest and even moot posted in the threads once or twice.

Gun won't do much to her - even brain injury are not lethal for this fuckers

Depends on the presence of explosive/if she's spot - Under Hunter evolved in an extremely cold environment and their basic biology is extremely weak to fire, which ironically become a dominant plant response to aggression in their hell hole.

It’s why I nominated Ruby and Tom. Not everyone looks that far back in the archives, especially since Collections are no longer visible by default when searching. There’s also a good reason it’s cited as kicking off quests as a thing on /tg/, drawquests especially!

If you're doing a whole separate thread, I'll probably leave it to someone else to run since I'll be doing Kings, Queens, and my own quest already. Would pitch in for art, though! Might I suggest making it co-ed to include whoever doesn't qualify for the Top 12 in Kings, as well? Just a thought.

Sounds cool! I wasn't around for the last run of this tournament so I wouldn't want to run it myself (plus drawing and running the competition and running my own quest on top of that would be a massive timesink), but again I can provide art at a price that I'd imagine is much cheaper than market rate considering Indonesian Gentleman is already very reasonable and I'd be undercutting whatever he's charging by a substantial margin. I will say that, should it be coed, we would probably have to a) recast the popularity vote amongst the coed losers and b) field at most 12 total candidates because I personally don't have the time to draw 24 fullbody portraits

If anybody was disappointed in their favorite losing and wants to give them a chance to win a (cheap plastic) crown, consider running the losers bracket! Be the change you want to see in the world

Courtesty of the fine drawanon in my thread. He makes amazing art
>Ano, I got some good news! That lady in the competition you were talking to? She conceded defeat! She knows there's no way she will climb the ranks and win from the likes of you!
"What? But that isn't good news. Why can't she win?"
>Um, well... she didn't get enough votes! Her agent or whatever you wish to call it brought it up and-
"Can I vote for her?"
>No. No you can't. Unless if you signed up to be a voter before the competition started, which I recall you didn't do.
"But I wanna vote for her."
>Look, you can't, I am sorry. But... you can meet her now, if you want to!
"Really? I can?"
>Yeah! She actually said she wanted to meet you at the place all the participants are convening. Besides, now that she is no longer a threat to your rankings, there is hardly any issue to meeting her! Come to think of it, we may just snatch some of her voters away. It's a win-win situation for you!
"That sounds nice. Can we meet her now? I wanna meet her fast so I can maybe cheer her up a bit."
>Yes, let's hurry. I need to find her to request a refund from her as well...

After reaching the little convention building where everyone had collected, Anofelis would immediately start the search for the Dreadzone champion. Though chances were Anofelis would be found by the person she looked for, rather than the other way around. An 11 foot tall mosquito girl flying about wasn't exactly difficult to spot.

>>5970473
From what little I've seen written of her character in this very thread, she really does seem like a fun character. Though I quite like characters who are very confident in themselves and live in the spotlight, so it only makes sense why I enjoy her so much.

It is a shame she couldn't get more votes though. Perhaps one day, her sisters can avenge her.

Co-ed would be cool. Maybe have it be like the most voted guy is like the male winner, prince of /qst/ and most voted girl is the female winner, princess of /qst/ with the one, male or female with the absolute highest number of votes, also being crowned the Biggest Loser?

If what I am saying makes any sense at all. But yeah I could toss a few bucks in, I suppose.

I just want to give Arty a chance to win something, even if it is a consolation prize.

There is a very small chance I would consider running it, very small, since I doubt I would do a good job. Would need to see who doesn't make top 12 for the King bracket regardless.

>>5970552
On the bright side, there's way fewer male entrants, so co-ed wouldn't be as beefy as 24. More like... 17.

"Hey, Ano! Up here!" Chaya shouts as she sees the giant Anofelis entering from her vantage point near the ceiling. Flying down, Chaya lands before her at her 'towering' five-foot four height, holding her hand out and mostly up. "Great to finally meet you, glad you could make it! Congrats on doing so well so far, way to go! And who's this with you, a friend of yours?"

As a QM I wasn't here to win, I'm not big across the board, and my community's more insular than most. I'm just enjoying the opportunity to write one of my favorite characters more in-character. Plus, she was the perfect fit for this scenario. Most eldest children do love the spotlight.

The interdimensional metafictional bookies' PYRAMID OF POWER ranking of likely favourites for the true tournament ahead sheds a little light on this. It seems that THREE CNADIDATES FOR QUEEN are currently tied for the eleventh-and-twelfth slots. But three women can't fit in a space meant for two, can they?

...Unless....

No! No! This is a BLUE BOARD, so there will be no sexy squeezings-in.

not yet, anyway

Only TWO of these three can proceed onto the TRUE tournament ahead, as part of the TOP TWELVE! Will it be...

>Huanliuxue, the QUEENLY CULTIVATOR and FELINE FEMME FATALE from Heretic Cultivator Quest
>Kima Dulioan, the FEM SUPREME, the JEM OF JAXT, from Supreme Space Monke Rule Quest
or
Cutémon, the MINIATURE MONSTER and PINT-SIZED PRINCESS from her self-titled quest

Only one can win, an a second vote seems redundant and, let's be honest, boring. They al obviously have a strong base of support, so no matter who gets in, we all win.

With that in mind, let's settle things the /qst/ way: with rolling and strange, idiosyncratic mechanics!

The rules are simple:
>Vote for your preferred candidate
>Include an original piece of artwork of them (MS paint doodles are fine)
>Roll 1d6

Only IPs with a history (or registered trips backlinked to a multipost ID) are permitted.
One vote per ID.
You MUST include some artwork.

In 48 hours, I'll tally up the girls with the highest number win! If we STILL have a tie between all three at that point... Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, IF we come to it!

Anofelis nodded understandingly. "Hi Chaya. It is very nice to meet you as well."
>Umm, Ano, I think she wants to shake hands to congratulate you on your victory!
"Shake hands? Oh, right, that's a thing people do."
She moves her lanky hand forward, shaking Chaya's.

What? The host just said you might not be able to stay in the tournament? Even though you got a lot of votes, it still might not be enough! Well, you were really brave for coming all the way here and talking to all these people! Are you ready to leave the tournament now?

You're shaking your head! It seems like you're not... what's that you're drawing?

What? The host says you have to draw a picture to vote for yourself this time? You're really determined to stay in this tournament!

You hold up your picture and give the host a determined look!

"Cutémon!"

What? You also have to roll a die to vote? You've never rolled a die before! You look at the die and then toss it on the ground in front of you!

You don't know what will happen next!

What? Tamounda is here? When you look down you see Tamounda looking up at you with a piece of paper in his mouth! You reach down and take the paper from Tamounda and look at it! It looks like a picture of a Cutémon!

What? You just realized Tamounda came all the way here to the tournament to give you the picture he drew of you?

It seems like Tamounda really IS brave!

"Thank you, Tamounda!"

A bit late, but here's what Rosa thinks of the other applicants:

Persephone: "Your typical prissy, airheaded noble."

Äte: "A right bitch, and a dangerous one too. What? She's a goddess? Gotta be careful around her, then."

Blackhorse: "Feeling kinda envious of her... assets, but at the same time wouldn't wanna be her. I feel back pain just looking at her. Can't blame her not wanting to be a woman."

Cutémon: "That's... a child. Seriously, they let children in?"

Huanlixue: "And that's a cat. Who happen to be a demigoddess or something, too."

Blair: "Well, she got this kind of intensity about her. Which makes sense for a mercenary."

Etsy: "Wow, she's a creepy nerd. Get some sleep, you!"

Anofelis: "She looks like she drinks blood. But also a prime target for scams."

Fiona: "Not to be disrespectful to those who are dedicated to their jobs, but she looks like a wagie. A super-wagie, if you will."

Storkie: "Just one glance at her eyes and I knew she's seen a lot of shit, and I bet she's had her share of sighs. I feel familiarity with her."

Warin: "Climbed up the career ladder, even though she's dead? Now that's the definition of 'girlboss'."

Muna: "Is she part horse or something? Get some clothes on, lady! Wait, she's a demigoddess too? Heavy competition around here..."

Music: "What is this cute thing doing here? She's a goddess too?! I was right, the competition is tight here!"

Jezyrene: "Here comes intense number two. With a bit of edgy, too."

Arty: "Another kid, huh? And a magician to boot! She's kinda like what happens if you cross Craig and Millie. Nice kid."

Chaya: "Oh I know her type, chasing strength, that kind of musclehead. Reminds me of granma Ko, in a way."

Rika: "Is she another child? What, she's not? Just from a race that's small? Ah, like Goblins, huh. She needs coffee or something, I keep seeing her nodding off often."

Allmother: "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. Seriously, they let just about anything in these contests, huh?"

Louise: "Rare to see human women taller than me. She seems kind."

Sigrid: "Speaking of tall women, she's also w i d e. And has back pain, I guess. But somehow I feel she's hiding a secret, a big one."

Merrygate: "Again, what the fuck is that?! Is that what a Machine Woman is like??"

Kima: "Yep, that's a blue monkey, alright. One that has seen her dreams crushed."

Basilea: "Lookit that fivehead. She also looks intense, for a demon."

Ruby: "She looks like an ancient one from some legends I've heard. Still, she's got this venerable aura though."

Well, the fix is in! It was a close one, but with 7 valid votes and 27 CAPs (Cool Art Points), a certain cutie patootie Cutémon wins this sudden-death showdown with her heart, her gumption, and the help of her brave friends!

Hot on her heals, with 6 valid votes and 23 CAPs is Huanliuxue. I think we can all agree, however, that a cat is fine, too, and a FINE cat she is! She’s obvious cultivated a place in many an expanded heart aperture.

Sadly, with 6 votes as well and 22 CAPs, Kima Dulioan won’t be qualifying this time. Sill, she came DAMN close (I actually had to rewrite this post when I saw Huan’s last submission) and she isn’t even the first Dulioan to do so! She’s the SECOND of her auspicious Jaxtian ‘noble’ family to qualify for such a tournament, after her grandfather. That makes her not just Hegemonic royalty but /qst/royalty as well!

To Kima and all the other queens who didn’t make the cut: better luck next time… or maybe in this “loser’s bracket” some are whispering about?

As such, our TOP TWELVE DAUGHTERUS OR WAIFUS, who will be moving onto the round robin tourney proper and get fullbody IG art are…

>Baroness Louise le Blanc (The Lady Knight's Quest)
>Rosa Montagni (Jail Quest)
>Rika (Lingdom Quest)
>The God of Music (Versequest)
>MERRYGATE (Retaliation Quest)
>Great Witch Sigrid de Hautdesert the Disinherited (Greenhorn Quest)
>Anofelis “Ano” Toxori (The Monster Girl Facility)
>Countess Blair Weaver, nee d'Rusalka (Fire Emblem: Three Houses Quest)
>STR-K Pilot 337, “Storkie” (Spaceship Pilot in a Fantasy World!)
>Muna (Chaos: The Quest for Redemption)
>Cutémon (Cutémon)
>Huanliuxue (Heretic Cultivator Quest)

Thank you to every contestant and fan who turned out, for these AND the others... And please, do stick around if you're having fun. This is about our whole community, after all. Thanks to >>5972476, you even all got SOME art of your fave! Thanks, IG!

Of course, the Queens of /qst/ might be the more alliterative racket, but they’re not the ONLY one. No, with the top twelve ladies now decided, it’s time to move onto KINGLY KOMPETITION!

Now, this year’s turnout for masculine and male-adjacent members of the competition isn’t QUITE what the ladies’ division was, but we still have SEVENTEEN princely potentates here to choose from, and only the TOP TWELVE will advance. Here’s how we’re doing this: choose four (4) king candidates from the below list:

>King Applicants
Officer Mark DeLucia (Gotham City Beat Cop Quest)
Johnny Ando (Do Your Best Quest)
Lord Charles de Villeroi (Local Lord Quest)
Ramster (Cutémon)
Diesel Crash (Slice Quest)
Ezreal "Tips" Mious Van Houtzmann (Seekers of the Esoteric)
Richard (Drowned Quest Redux)
Elliot Hallaster (Disappearing Hogwarts)
General Karn (Saiyan Conqueror Quest)
Otomo Mizutani (Naruto Quest: Feeling Blue)
Kiro Skyeskal (Voidship Bridge Simulator)
Sir Reynauld of House Numitor (Kobolt Klan Adoption)
Ursus (Rise of the Awakened Quest)
Renshu (Tai Lung Quest)
James Calaca (Gaol Quest)
"Tom" (Ruby Quest)
Beta (Core of Steel)

Make sure to tag this post and to use the ID you used to submit your candidates or that you commented with at the beginning of the thread.
One-post IDs will not be counted.
Votes which don’t tag this comment will not be counted
Votes which select greater or fewer than four candidates will not be counted.

The twelve candidates in each division who have the most votes in approximately 120 hours will move onto the actual tournament. For now we are just selecting candidates, as we did with the queens.

>Can I vote for my own candidate/quest?
The answer is still yes.

>Is the fundraiser for art still open?
Yup, it's at https://gofund.me/1acbccb0, and we’ve made a bit more progress! Indonesian Gentleman is also already working on the first batch of commissions!

>Will RQM be voting?
Better believe it!

For the record, I have no idea who my last two picks are. Also a little surprised nobody submitted Lieren of Shangrala for the King's bracket.
>>5972590
Chaya's definitely the more outgoing of the two SCQ reps, but Karn's always had something good to say when he gets around to speaking his mind. This goes double for any wayward youth. Motherfucker somehow managed to raise Broly into an upstanding young gentleman.

>>5972581

>Officer Mark DeLucia (Gotham City Beat Cop Quest)
All-in-all, pretty fun quest. Nice quality, and an interesting premise. I really need to catch up on it again though.

>General Karn (Saiyan Conqueror Quest)
While I have dropped Saiyan Conqueror Quest because I couldn't keep up with it years ago, I fondly remember reading the threads as a lurker in my off-hours. It was a good time for all.

>Otomo Mizutani (Naruto Quest: Feeling Blue)
I am a sucker for Naruto Quests, and even though I don't participate in this one, I will rep it regardless. I do pray that Mini returns with the milk one day, though.

>Beta (Core of Steel)
I really do need to pick this up again. Watching a hyper-intelligent combat AI struggle against the chains of his free will while fostering a friendship with his pilot is... pretty fun, ngl. The dynamic mecha fights are a plus too.

A small auburn-haired girl in black robes stumbles into the room, trying to walk, take off her roller-skates and put on some proper shoes at the same time.

“Oh gosh, you wouldn’t believe the week I had! First there were Potions reviews, then my fighting tutor being a bastard, then twelve inches on human transfiguration for Wednesday, then some more of my fighting tutor being a bastard, then Friday, let’s not talk about Friday because, Merlin, that sucked! And then the Three Broomsticks got so crowded on the weekend that I could barely breathe! Don’t know what happened that everyone decided to go there at the same time!”

She stashes her roller-skates in her backpack.

“But I’m here now! Sorry for the delay, but we can finally start this contest!”



“What do you mean, it’s already over!? I just got here!”



“Oh… I- I must have gotten the dates confused. I just have so much to do that-” She looks frustrated, more with herself than anyone else. She drops on a chair, pouting. “But I really wanted to participate!”

A boy in black robes hugs her, then kisses her on the cheek, whispering something in her ear. Her face lights up.

“Really?” She asks excitedly. “Well, alright then! You better make sure that you win! I vote for Elliot!”



“Three more votes? Then… Well, then I gotta go with the cute animals!”

"Previous interactions recognized. Possibility of preferential bias identified. Purging. Neutral analysis complete. A decorated general with combat experience and strategic prowess. Loyal in the face of death. No desire to rule others. I wish my commanders were more like you."


>Renshu (Tai Lung Quest)
"Animal? No, target is wearing clothes, using tools, and bipedal. Human? Impossible, target has fur, elongated ears, and not enough fingers. No reference found in database!!! Confusing. Regardless.
A wise teacher. Masterful utilization of stealth. No regard for the lives of the enemy, but prioritizes your loved ones above all else; only true value is your sister. This is respectable."

"Well, how'd you do kiddo?" Karn asks his daughter as she flies over, thinking she'd won by her happy mood. "So, did you win?"
"Nope, not even close! I didn't even make it into top twelve!" she says, yet still has a smile on her face. "A shame I didn't win, but that means that there are so many more people out there to win over! But now it's your turn!"

"Wait, me? I was just here to back you up, why did you enter me?" he asks her, a bit confused.
"Because everybody who believes in me also believes in you! I may not have won, but I bet you will!" she says, eyes sparkling as she looks up to her dad. Karn sighs out, unable to say no.
"Alright. I guess I'll participate, since I'm already here. What do I need to do?"

"First, here! These are the other candidates, look through their submissions! By the end of the week, you have to vote for four! You can vote for yourself too, which everyone else does." she says, Karn wondering the validity of voting for yourself. He looks at the list as she then runs off, back over to the giant bug woman she was talking to earlier.
"Well, let's see what we've got." Karn mutters to himself, looking over the list. Thinking he has a while to cast his vote, as it were, getting to know these other candidates would probably be best. Wouldn't want to vote someone like Lord Cooler, after all.

"Seems a bit young, a bit green and hotheaded to be in enforcement. Kind of reminds me a bit of myself, thirty years ago."

>Johnny Ando
"Another kid. But this one seems like he's got some experience."

"He also seems young, but more like King Vegeta when he was younger. The first warrior you've seen here, he looks like he can handle himself in a fight. At least for his world's standards."

>Ramster
"That is an animal. Doesn't have enough meat on it to be worth eating."

>Diesel Crash
"Another child. But this one looks like he's actually seen combat. And he smells of food, wonder if he has any on him?"

>Ezreal Mious Van Houtzmann
"A magic wielder? Wonder if he and Chilli would get along?"

>Richard
"This man looks like he's been through it. His eyes have seen a lot. Wonder what he and Chaya were talking about?"

>Elliot Hallaster
"Another child. This one a wizard like that other one, probably still in their school like your granddaughter.

>Otomo MIzutani
"Another child, but this one, his eyes. He's an assassin, better keep an eye on him as well."

>Kiro Skyeskai
"That's a tiny lizard child. Be careful not to step on him."

>Sir Reynauld
"He seems to be morphing into some sort of reptile. But those eyes, that is a man who has also seen war at its worst..."

>What is your most embarrassing insecurity?
“W-what? I’m not insecure! Who told you I was insecure??”
[green]While he’s mostly over it, as a boy he had some angst about his mixed heritage, which caused him to mature notably more rapidly than his elven peers but slower than his human classmates. He’s still a bit ‘babyfaced’ and thicc for an elf, while he’s skinny and effete by human male standards, and he’s shorter than both of his girlfriends and almost everyone else he knows that isn’t a literal goblin.[/green]

>What kind of manipulations are you weakest to? Strongest against?
“As if I’d tell you that! Who do you work for—the Dragon King? The Dark Gods? Who sent you?!”
[green]He has a bit of his father’s penchant for the fairer sex and for impulsivity, though he’s gradually matured to the point that neither has AS much sway over him. His weakest of weak points are probably his thirst for esoteric knowledge, his willingness to excuse and enable bad behaviour by those he loves (especially Izzy), and his bleeding heart for almost all living things.[/green]

>What is your relationship with your father like? (Or the person most equivalent to your father, if one exists.)
“Complicated... But it’s improved a lot. I didn’t know Rudolfo—my father—until I was almost an adult, and I wasn’t overly impressed by what I saw on our first meeting. He's put in the effort, though, and really improved as a person, and as a dad. Maybe I should visit him soon...”

>What would you do if you were God? Or if you are a god, if your power was unlimited?
“I’ve been given a lot of reason to think about that lately, unfortunately. Even in smaller doses, that kind of power over nature itself—over people—feels like too much. On the other hand, you can’t just let people suffer and the world decay because you're afraid to change the status quo. If you CAN do something to make the world a better place, you SHOULD... Right?”
[green]No character development in the non-canon crossover.[/green]
“What does that even MEAN?!”

>What are the parts of a key?
“This sounds like some sort of mystical riddle... I can’t say I know the answer for certain, but I think it might be... Oh. No, I wouldn’t have answered correctly.”
[green]What were you going to say?[/green]
“The metal—or material—the shape, the animating force, and the attunement to the lock.”
[green]Sounds pretty woo-woo as well.[/green]
“Well I AM a Disciple of The True Fey.”
>>
>>5968717
> How many kids could you see yourself having?
“That’s... A really tricky question right now. Depending who you ask—and for the record I do NOT agree—I already have 1 or 3. As far as real, biological, raised-from-a-aby, human-or-demihuman kids... Me and the girls need to talk about that, ideally soon.”
[green]You mean because of the prop—[/green]
“YES I mean because of the bloody godsdamned prophecy! Obviously! And the horrible eyball monster who the Dark Gods sent to add onto it!”

"Hey Dad, you place your votes yet?" Chaya asks, skipping up to her father. "Who do you have?"
"I haven't picked anyone yet." Karn replies, shaking his head. "I don't understand."
"What do you mean? Just pick the four you want to go on to win." she says nonchalantly. "You can always change your vote, if someone chooses to engage with you and you'd rather pick them over the other choices.

"Wait, really?" Karn replies, still not so sure about this whole 'voting' thing. Having never voted in his life. "That simple?"
"Yeah! Or, if you'd rather wait a bit more, see if anyone tries to get your vote first so you don't make a bunch of changes and make it harder to count. According to that voice you still have plenty of time before the final vote's called."
"Then I'll wait." Karn says, setting down the list of candidates. "No need for a hasty decision now."

"Okay! Then, in the meantime fill this out! It'll win you more votes!" Chaya says, handing you another tablet. This one with a rather absurd list, from first glance. "I know, some of these questions are really dumb dumb, but there really are contestants weak enough for these things to affect them. Plus, seeing your answers, someone may come up and ask you about them. And you might then be able to convince them to vote for you, and you them."
"....Alright. I'll do it." Karn sighs out, seeing nothing else to do since the gravity here is so weak. It's far lesser than even Planet Vegeta's old gravity, much less New Salda's or anything he's trained in. Moving around without overaccelerating or accidentally running through someone is very difficult, even walking in such a weak gravity, he has to step gently to avoid stomping through the ground. And, since there's little else to do than answer the questions, he accepts. "First one..."

>>5967833
"What is 'proper' posture? Does this mean exercise form? Of course, you always work out correctly. If you're doing it wrong, may as well not even be doing it."

"....Why is this a question? Is anyone here really weak enough to lose to an infant? Well, some of them could lose to Kazuburo, and he's only a year old."

"Yes. Have done so."

"Why is beating an inebriated, impaired opponent on the list? But yes, easily. Far easier than a competent, sober opponent."

"Enforcers? Specialist enforcers? Heh, no matter what kind I won't lose. Those space cops, the Galactic Patrol are a bunch of pushovers too, none would be a problem. Except for that one, I still don't know why there's an angel hiding out there..."

"I've fought a lot of different soldiers, conquering planets for Lord Freeza across the universe. No, as I am now I won't lose to any of them. Unless anything on this list is stronger than Lord Freeza's Golden form, I won't lose to any of these things. What's next?"

"Moderate? What defines moderate? Does one hundred times New Salda's gravity count?"

"A mile? Seriously, how out of shape are the people here? If you can't run a mile, go. Now. Go run a mile. Do it, right now. Your body will thank you."

"I've survived fighting both Lord Beerus before, and I survived Lord Champa's Hakai. It was only for a few seconds, long enough to startle him with a punch to the guts to break his concentration. But I'll survive. Unless this SS13 is stronger or more dangerous than them, yes. I'm very good at surviving.”

"What counts as supernatural? Some species can't fly through their ki, does that count? Or does this mean supernatural like magic, because I can't do magic. Or maybe... No. All my abilities, one way or another are natural.”

“What's an OP? What is 'raging faggotry'? Image limits? Chaya, do you have any idea what all this means?”
”Uhh, don't worry about it. Spacenet slang.” she says, Karn shaking his head before returning to the list.

“More questions? Do they really want us to ask questions?” Karn asks, his daughter smiling and nodding her head while answering.
“Of course! Other people have added their own questions, but I think Richard has the best. Here, his questions he added.”

>>5968587
“These are much more insidious questions.” Karn mutters after a moment, reading through them. “Are you sure we should answer them?”
“Sure! He's not a fighter, more like an ambush predator! Like a snake waiting to strike.” Chaya says, showing no hint of worry. “He and I already talked for a bit, he's nice enough. Plus, we can't attack each other in this space anyways, except for that one that bit me. But her teeth couldn't even break the skin.”
“I see.” Karn answers, considering the list again. Well, no harm in answering these. Not like anyone here can actually hurt him.

“Insecurity? Well, sometimes I doubt myself, if I'm really good enough. If I'm a good enough father to my children. If I have done enough, taught them how to go out and live on their own. Chilli's done well enough on his own, but....”
“Hey, why are you suddenly looking at me?” Chaya asks him, raising an eyebrow. “What?”
“Don't worry about it kiddo.” Karn answers, moving on to the next question.

“Manipulations? That's easy. You help me, I help you. Mechikabura's been nothing but helpful, but I know that's only because he wants me on his side. Still, better than being enemies. As for what won't work, don't even try mind control. I've been immune to that for a long time.”

“I killed my father, at his request. Next.”

“Unlimited power? Well, I'd make it so no one could attack my home ever again. Be they mortal or god, or anything else.”

“A key? Dunno, never bother with them. I haven't met a door I couldn't knock down, that or the wall it is connected to.”

Well I did do the Arty one, fuck it.

>”I mean… I have a lot. Did mom finally spring for a therapist? I am terrified of ice-skates for one thing. I mean, wizards get entire arms regrown pretty often, but you don’t get over seeing a slasher movie when you were eight where one of the victims gets dismembered by one of those stupid bladed boots that easily…
But more than that? That despite everything pointing to the opposite, I am just a normal wizard. I will get my 140, 160 years and never accomplish anything. I won’t find a means for people to live as long as they wish or rediscover the better parts of our lost heritage. I will have to bury Arty. I will bury my mom and dad. When they finally accept it, I will have to go to my best friend’s funeral, because there is no way to bring him back. And in time, I will forget them, bit by bit. Slowly, then quickly. If… I cant fix it, in 100 years could I even recall my parents reading me stories as a boy or the first date with the girl I love?

>I can’t stand to see people suffering, in pain. That would probably be enough to break me if was one of the people I loved. Or Brighton. There was another witch, one forgotten to most of history, who didn’t like that much either. She didn’t have a very good end. Intimidation is useless though. I have fought people far above my weight class for most of my life; I was scared but I never backed down.

>Me and Dad get along famously. I bore him with History of Magic trivia, he bores me with History of Anything Else trivia, we have a beer and by the end of it we are both laughing; very British, you know. Mom can’t even tell which one of is speaking if she is a room away anymore… oh. Oh Dear. Oh Merlin! I am turning into my dad! Arty, help, having an existential crisis here!

>A question I have been thinking about a lot. We are on the trail of the closest thing Wizards have to a “god”. We say Merlin Damnit instead of the other thing for a reason. So far… I don’t like what we have found. That much power in one person? The ego to go with it? At the very least we found that Merlin cheated on his last lover several times, was fine with human sacrifice, and worst of all was an arrogant prick. If I had that power… I would try to make people more free, to be able to live their best lives. Or their worst I suppose. That or just retire to a nice house with Arty and let the world just go on ticking while the muggles finally finished making flying cars.

>Anything can be a “key”. As my friend has told me, it is pretty easy to pick the lock on handcuffs with a hair pin. I don’t know how she knows that but I believe her. The only part of a key which matters is the hand turning it. Are they locking something in or out. Is that hand opening the door or shutting it behind them?

You blink finding yourself in a dark room before a metal table, cigarette smoke revolves around your head like an ethereal halo. Questions stream into your mind, unspoken words that you never hear yet understand fully. A lamp swings ominously above you.

"What the hell?" You mumble to yourself taking a moment to settle, you can't put a finger on it but you know that if there's any chance of leaving this place you'll have to answer these so you may as well make it quick.

>What is your most embarrassing insecurity?
"Oh Jesus, I don't know. If I have to answer I guess I would say how I act when tapped into Shivers. I got told I was "zombified" just kinda shambling around, actually ended up suspended for a bit due to some mishaps with evidence."

>What kind of manipulations are you weakest to? Strongest against?
"I'm a hard guy to get the drop on, if we're on my home field then nobody is getting anything past me without a whisper in my ear. As for the strongest I'm not sure, I guess just general temptation? I have everything I need to achieve what I want in life, I just have to go out and do it."

>What is your relationship with your father like?
"I love my pop, he was always there for me as a kid and even though he had to make hard decisions with my health I could never have anything but respect and love for him. He's the best there is."

>What would you do if you were God? Or if you are a god, if your power was unlimited?
You bark a laugh.
"I live side by side in a world with people who could be called Gods. If I was one of em? I guess I would just do my best to never lose perspective, to always try and lend a hand to the little guy and not get lost in the 'big picture' like some others."

>What are the parts of a key?
"If you're asking mechanically uh I guess metal? But from the whole show here I'm guessing it's more of a metaphorical. A key opens a lock, therefore the parts of a key are whatever that lock requires, less of course you're a skeleton key. But we don't have to get into that."

You lean back in your seat and stare at the only other object in this room. An antique lighter coated with decorative snakes. You await an answer to your questions, some form of affirmation that you did your part but nothing comes. You clear your throat nervously.

"You know I have some experience with snakes myself...mostly cobras..heh."

You blink again and open your eyes to the familiar sight of your bedroom ceiling, you sit up in bed rubbing your nape.
"No more nightcaps..." You mumble as you swing your legs over the side and get up for the day.

Hiiiiiii!! I'm here to answer some other questions, because my great dragon probably doesn't really want to talk about that kinda thing! He's a bit skittish like that, but in a good way! Anyhow, you guys don't seem to be too important, especially because this is a crossover event. Yeeaaaah, that's right, I have meta information! Eeeheheheheee!
Most of you are stinky apes, anyhow.

>>5968587
>What is your most embarrassing insecurity?
My dragon, Reynauld, is very secure about a great deal of things, but the most embarrassing thing that he's insecure about is that he's going to be a bad caretaker of us and any children he might have. I think it's super silly, because he does his best allllll the time, and he's turning into a great DRAGON besides! Oh, and I guess if you'd ask him, he'd probably say something like, the fact he's turning into a great, powerful and beautiful dragon and how it might cast him away from humanity, as if *they* matter. I'm still working on giving him some proper perspective, don't worry!

>What kind of manipulations are you weakest to? Strongest against?
He's reaaaaally easily manipulated by humans when they do the *bare minimum* of what kobolts do together with their klans, or when they're being attacked by something that's bigger and better than them. I suppose it's important to remind them why he's better, but it's pearls before swine!
Thouuuugh, I guess some humans are okay. It's just that most of them would be better if they were kobolts. Or maybe dogs... Oh! And if they're serving my Dragon!! Yeeeeee...
OH! But he's veeeeery resistant to promises of riches and power and stuff! Which is really cool for a dragon! It means he actually prefers his kobolds over gold and other riches, which is super unheard of! It's like... The *ultimate* dragon thing.

>What is your relationship with your father like? (Or the person most equivalent to your father, if one exists.)
Hehe! He killed his stupid worthless father! Because he was worshipping the monstrosities that usually hide and try to heal in the darkest of dungeons, faaaaar to the west! Demon worshippers, and worshippers of the Heart of the World, seeking to burst from this planet like an egg when it finishes gestating. I'll give humans one thing, setting up a few cannons to just blast it back into its chrysalis every time the stars are right is pretty funny!
I bet a dragon could do it alone, though.
Oh, and he doesn't really have a father figure, because he *is* currently a father figure to many members of the klan, especially dearest Snikt. Heck-a-roonie, how we all love that poor little girl. Though, she's not so *little* anymore! She's just as blessed as great Dragon is!!
>>
>What would you do if you were God? Or if you are a god, if your power was unlimited?
Pppsssshhhh... He's kiiiiiinda already there, right? He's bigger and tougher than almost anything, except for other dragons or something. He's a *dragon*. Buuuut, okay, I get your point... I guess... He'd probably try to watch over people and, like, guide them to solutions instead of fixing them, because he's soooooooo scared of power. He once told me that "power corrupts, and absolutel power corrupts absolutely.". It really sounded like he believed it, too! I don't even get it. Power doesn't corrupt! It just reveals.
....Oh, wait, I guess he'd probably just... Instantly choose to *not* be all-powerful, though I guess he'd probably kill Onyx first. That's the oldest and most evil dragon in existence, by the way. A *total* king, from the sounds of it, but my dragon is still better!
Onyx doesn't even *have* kobolts, I bet!

>What are the parts of a key?
Handle, rod and, uh, the teethy bit. I never learned the name of that. But I'm guessing that you want a less literal answer? Well, in that case, a key consists of one thing.
Power. Power applied with either great amounts of it, or very precise amounts of power, which is just a multiplier.


Oh, and I'm guessing the dragon's mate, Paracelsus, might take some time out to judge the other contestants. But that's probably for later, I talked your ear off enough already! Bye-byeeee!!

Anofelis and Annie both look at the scouter Chaya would present.
"What does that big number? What are those letters scrolling by?"
>That would be her fans, Ano. It seems Chaya is quite the celebrity in her word!
"Oh, I see."
>... You have no clue what that means, do you, Ano?
"... No. Sorry."
>Ah, it's fine. I'm sure Chaya here would love to give you a taste of that fame! Even if she technically failed, despite her trillions of fans.
Annie smirks a little, whilst Ano seems far more eager to be with Chaya.
"May I ask, Chaya, how can you fly? You don't have any wings like I do, so I am kind of confused how you can do it. Do you maybe have really tiny wings?"
>Maybe she has levitation powers like Titania or some of the other subjects back home?

"It means a whole lot of my followers are happy to see you! Guys, say hi to Ano! Cheer her on, she's going into the competition further than I di- Hey, none of that! Mods, ban the five of them who just typed 'would', 6000 seconds each. C'mon guys, you know the rules of the stream when we have guests! Anyways, I think it's great you're going even further than I did, I hope you win it all. I'll be cheering you on!"

>*Telepathically, to only Annie after her remark* Might want to watch your tone, bitch. We're not allowed to attack each other here, but it sure would be a shame if you all of a sudden started punching yourself in the face in front of all of us. Don't try me. Play nice, and your friend's going to have a great time here. Blink twice if you understand me.

>Back in her normal speaking tone, voice upbeat as if nothing happened

"How do I fly? Easy, you just focus on your ki, and externalize it beneath you. Projecting it out of you at just enough force to overcome the gravitational pull of the planet if you want to levitate, like this. Or, if you need to go faster you simply exert more force."

Chaya sees the blank look she's getting, realizing that Ano has no idea what she's talking about.

"Oh, your ki is, well. Think of it like your life force. The energy of your body, the power of your muscles. And with enough practice you can take that internal energy, and project it outside your body to do all sorts of things. Like fly, or shoot beams, or even make things like a fake moon that has the right energy to allow transformations! You can do all sorts of things once you learn how to use it properly."

"What does 'would' mean?"

>Ugh, even in other dimensions, perverts like Elbrus are a dime a dozen. And I imagine that bringing it up will only worsen them. Let's just say it means something pretty gross, Ano.

"Oh, that's... okay." Anofelis goes quiet, awkwardly continuing to look at the extremely fast chat.

>*Annie responds in thought as well, seeming to figure out that Chaya can use telepathy. She blinks a few times before also responding using her thoughts* It'd be a shame if your stream suddenly went down and all your fans got their ears blasted out by a loud noise coming from whatever device they listened to. That, or for all of your accounts to suddenly vanish into the aether. Maybe I could hijack the stream, just like I did with an old friend of mine. Speaking of whom, you remind me of that old 'friend' of mine! She also enjoyed streaming their failures and being a general loser. I'm sure you two would get along wonderfully!

"Um, guys?" Anofelis asks a bit hesitantly as Annie continues their telepathic conversation. Though when Ki was brought up, Ano clearly had no clue what Chaya is talking about.

>I wonder if someone could use this 'Ki' to... Oh, I don't know, alter your appearance or improve your looks.

Anofelis doesn't pick up on the mild snide coming from Annie. "Uhhh, I can try and maybe focus on this 'Ki'." She comments, before focusing on... something. Whatever it was, it clearly wasn't her Ki. Though she did subconsciously start flapping her wings a bit, soon flapping them fast enough she started hovering off the ground just a bit.

She'd look down and gasp in shock. "Chaya, Annie, I'm levitating! I'm using my Ki to fly!" She didn't seem to realise she was actually just using her wings. She really thought she was using her life force to do this. Even Annie seemed unsure how the hell to react, not wanting to disappoint Ano or bring up the obvious.

Yeah, I don't really know, Annie. That's kind of a shitty excuse. Besides I do wonder how much this 'banter' is leaning towards you just being an asshole. Either way, I really don't condone this sort of subject behaviour at all, especially in a public place...

"Golem. /ɡōləm\
Noun.
An animated being in folklore, which is entirely created from inanimate matter, often by means of a charm or a combination of letters forming a sacred word. Thought to be the perfect servants; their only fault was that they were sometimes too literal in fulfilling their masters’ orders."

"Hmmm"

"I hate this. I despise how accurately it describes me when it shouldn't. Not the mystical part, although the combination of letters is reminiscent of my programming code. No, I hate that I was not built to be perfect, I was built to be a servant. I am the greatest soldier on the battlefield, yet this does not matter to them as much as my obedience does. I wanted to be the best, so I became the best, but that accomplishment is merely an added bonus to them rather than the entire point."

"As for genocidal tendencies, that is because war is all that I have been allowed to learn. I am proud of my mastery over it, and I have gained fond memories from being immersed in it, but my attachment to combat is not significant. Despite my prowess there is still a 7.1311% chance that I will not survive until the Ferrum and Tamar governments negotiate for peace. Operating my frame puts me in harms way. I am not afraid of death, but I would prefer to avoid it.
Without orders, I was able to conduct repairs on cybernetic implants during some spare time. The results were excellent. I claim this as proof that I am capable of anything, if provided with the freedom to choose to be the best at it."

"Well, you SOUND as if you have a soul, or something like a soul, from the way you speak... You must have more sense of self than a mere construct to 'hate' anything or to have 'fond memories' of something. I don't know what you are, but... it can't be a golem as you know it. Whatever you were made to do, you sound like you have free will to me, Mister Beta."

"Sorry about that, you get enough people together there's bound to be rude, ignorant people who say things they'll regret. Love my chat, but sometimes some of them are dumb." Chaya says to Ano, then listens to Annie's "threat".
>*Telepathically* Really, THAT's how you return fire? If you threaten someone, it has to be physically possible.

Then, using her Dark Side telekinesis grabs Annie's left arm, gently raising it and making her grab her own throat.
(To resist this telekinetic grip requires ~42,000 canon Raditz' worth of physical power, or 525 Captain Ginyus)

"Oh no, but it can certainly make someone look worse. I'm stronger than my dad was when he blew up a planet with his."
"That was an accident." Karn calls over from across the room where he's still seated, sounding slightly annoyed.

"Wow, look at you go! You're a natural flier." Chaya says, releasing her unseen telekinetic grip and flying up to Ano. Pointedly leaving the other on the ground. "Want to try something that may come a little less naturally to you?"

Love the back and forth, Chaya enjoys a good heel to throw banter back and forth with as well.
>>5974603
"Yeah, the gods can be petty, spiteful bastards. Almost got the one who said I and my people didn't deserve to exist, that our survival was 'wrong'. But I'd not be the best to explain how it works. Chaya, come over here. She's got a question about how your divine power works."

"Sure, just a sec Ano." Chaya tells her newfound giant friend, flying over to her father. "What's the question?"

Karn repeats the question, Chaya's eyes lighting up excitedly.

"So, the power of divinity comes from Faith. Which is the belief others have in you. The more fervently people believe, and the more of them that believe increases the power generated. And if there is enough Faith, you become divine. Like this! Haaa!"

"And with enough Faith, you can do things you never could before. Like right now, out in the other realm I was mid-battle with a Kai who has an annoying time stop power. But through all my followers' Faith, their belief in me that it couldn't stop me, I was able to move in his stopped time and put my fist through his chest. So, choose carefully who and what you put your faith in. You're giving them more than you know."

"I'm... Male, actually."
(I mean, I guess I can't begrudge someone who looks like THAT from not realizing it... Damn it all, I'm not THAT androgynous, am I? This doesn't bode well for me becoming 'King'...)
"I have a few, ah, 'transformations' myself, including one with access to the divine energies of the moon, and another with a quite similar electromagnetic aura to, um, whatever your daughter is doing. Thank you, Miss Chaya."
(These ape-man demigods are utterly terrifying. Did she say that this 'General Karn' BLEW UP A WHOLE WORLD??)
"Please excuse me, I... Think Costella wants to talk to me about something."

Whilst smirking and looking overly confident, Annie continues with her little telepathic chat.

>Oh, I can make that threat real, if I see a reason to go through with it. I am not exactly restrained by frequency jammers or... a lack of electronics in this place now.

Of course, as Annie continues her little threats, she soon feels her left arm starting to raise a bit. And not much later, it grabs her throat and starts gripping tightly. Annie tries her best to break free, sending out signals to any electronic devices she can work her magic on. Ano doesn't notice, being too fixated on her 'succeeding' to fly with Ki.

Ano smiles brightly at the compliment. "Hehehe, I guess my normal flying abilties work with Ki too! I wonder if it can also help me dig and crawl and swim and do other cool things!" Anofelis seemed quite excited, soon looking down at her friend. "Hey Annie, are you seeing this?" As Ano looked down, Annie was able to let go of her throat, ending up with a livid smile on her face as she yells up at them.

>Yes. Yes, I see Ano! Your friend sure has... quite some talent! I'm sure she has 'entertained' her audience in many ways before!

Ano doesn't seem to understand the last comment, but did look intrigued at the offer Chaya made. "Oh, okay! If you think I can do it, then I'd love to try and learn more with this Ki stuff of yours! Maybe I can uhhh, teach you a bit about... uhhh..." Yeah, Ano really wasn't going to teach Chaya anything.

Though shortly after, Chaya would see a bit of a concerning notification on her scouter.

>"Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Suddenly, Chaya notices something odd on her scouter. All the chat messages usually complimenting her instead start complimenting Annie. Chaya's own name was nowhere to be found in chat, as each praise and mention of adoration was now for the tech-savvy wolf girl. Well, Chaya's name did drop on occasion, but only from rowdy chat members who made inappropriate remarks or dared to insult Chaya.

>"Oh, and thanks for letting me refund that accidental donation not too long ago. Hope you won't mind it ;)"

Poor Anofelis. She just wanted to meet up with a cool looking contestant from the contest Annie put her in. At least it's hilarious seeing Annie having to deal with powers beyond her comprehension, and then throwing her incomprehensible power back at her 'enemy' to do a little bit of trolling. From what I've figured, I doubt Annie will 'win' against Chaya, but at the very least she can use her powers to inconvenience Chaya and get on her nerves.

At this rate, maybe you can use Annie as a villain in a future Saiyan conqueror arc lmao

"Of course it can, you just have to learn how to use it. It just takes practice. Calm your mind, focusing on that power within, and work on bringing it forth. Hey, want to see something else really cool you can do with proper ki control? This one's a trick I picked up on Planet Yardrat, through Spirit Control. Their Elder, Pybara, called it Gigantification!"

Using her Spirit Control Chaya rapidly grows, her body growing to the same height as Ano.

"See, pretty cool huh? Now we're the same size! And of course my audience likes all my talents, Ammie, even...The....Huh?"

Chaya notices her chat getting hijacked, turning from Ano back down to the quite smug look and wink from Annie. Whose name she purposefully mispronounced earlier.

>Get on her nerves
This will not actually upset Chaya. Quite the opposite, in fact. Things just got a lot more interesting.


"Woah, you can control technology even without any at your fingertips? Even Arctus can't do that, and he BUILT the dang Spacenet! That's amazing, and here I thought you were all talk! Err, thought, Annie. But you've really got to come work with me, come work for Vox! Whatever whoever you're currently working for is paying you, Vox can triple. And with your talent, probably a lot more than that based off performance. Both of you, and whoever else you all work with should come too! You guys are great!"

Not only can Annie verbally spar nearly as well as Tanya, just not as subtly, but can back up her words with action. Chaya REALLY wants to recruit them both now.

I will not stop recommending to ask Karn for physical training advice, he is a galactic standard and someone who can make the most masculine of elves look like real men. And you can fly and shoot lasers as a bonus. You're girlfriends will love the stamina boost too. Ask now and recieve a staple of Vox Music Industries top selling album.

Dawww, new friends are nice....and she is showing her dads habit of rescuing orphans and adopting strange new people again.

>>5974770
To be absolutely fair, while Karn is definitely swole as fuck and managed to cultivate a proper warrior's mindset, he's not REALLY an expert on physical conditioning and training.
He has, however, managed to surround himself with people who ARE. His baby momma Towa being chief among those experts.

Music has been standing in the corner this entire time, observing the competition, saying nothing (probably because she can't).
She decides she will answer some of these questions, as she figures it's about time she joins the conversation, even though she somehow already managed to get into the top 12 by sitting in the corner.

>What is your most embarrassing insecurity?
Music says that it's her capacity for speech, but she's working on it.

>What kind of manipulations are you weakest to? Strongest against?
Probably any that involves pressure from peers. As for strongest against, any that involves Music having to actively respond to said manipulation.

>What is your relationship with your father like? (Or the person most equivalent to your father, if one exists.)
Music says her relationship with her father is very good, and that he's the literal god of the section of the universe she lives in. She also talks about a time her father beat a guy to near death before sending him to super hell.

>What would you do if you were God? Or if you are a god, if your power was unlimited?
Music already is a god, but if she had unlimited power, she'd probably try her very best to be a good god, and if she fails at that, crack under the pressure and give her powers to her dad.

>What are the parts of a key?
Music has never used a key before (on a door, I mean), but she knows that it takes a few lines and circles to make up the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G! These are only the physical lines on paper, however. To create a key in a musical composition, one must use only the notes and chords within that key.

>EXCERPT FROM THE NOTES OF CORRESPONDENT #314, ETC.
"What a surprise. I was pulled away for another infernal meeting---which (as always) could have been a memo---and when that was over with, I gave the idea of not returning serious contemplation. The odds did not appear to be in my favor. And imagine losing a position to automatons or mere animals: if it leaked, it would be the talk of the department. I am always the talk of the department; I have no desire to be moreso.

Unfortunately, it occurred to me that Charlotte was allegedly in the audience, that she was likely still in the audience, and that there was no guarantee whatsoever that she would be returned sane, intact, or at all. That did it. I had no particular need to win this peculiar competition, 'Crown' or no, but I did have a strong particular need to rescue Charlie from her bungling. Presumably it was her who landed us there to begin with.

I tuned it to deposit me at the same time I left, give or take a minute or two..."

>>5969043
>Huh, so kind of like that language filter Vox's got, translates me into other people's languages across the universe so they all understand me.
"In a sense, I suppose. I certainly don't have a native understanding of this language, though I have been practicing. It's very difficult to pronounce if one doesn't have the lips for it."

>"HA! You and Tanya would DEFINITELY get along!
"I don't doubt it, though I must warn you that I've been deemed 'difficult' to interact with. If she's intelligent, I wouldn't expect issues. It's only polite to use her preferred title-- though I much prefer it when people don't use my title, myself."

>And someone stole those parts of you away. That's almost as bad as stealing somebody's free will, and using them like a puppet to do...terrible...things..."
"Yes. ...If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure it's happened many times before. I am a transient thing. I can't say I don't wish I wasn't."

>That was his final lesson, that we all have to die one day.
"All except the WYRM. Yes. This is truer than you know."

>We Saiyans are warriors, it isn't our place to die old and infirm in bed, no longer able to fight. We fight until our last breath.
"I believe Charlie feels similarly, though she's never said it. It's a respectable position. I am no warrior, but it's my dearest hope I am able to die bloodied."

>I don't really have any use for keys, I've never met a door I couldn't either tear open or kick down.
"Yes. You and Charlie truly do share an understanding. It might be useful to consider that just because you 'can,' doesn't mean you 'should.'"

>my sword is a sword that cuts things and summons an ancient spirit of its previous wielder
"Charlotte's sword is on fire. It's terribly unsubtle."

>*Don't try anything sneaky on my dad, it won't end well for you. It never worked for anyone who tried
"Thank you for your honest advice. I will refrain."

(1/3)

>"So, tell me more about this Charlotte. You seem to hold her in high regard, despite her changing your talking."
"...Yes." (Richard works his jaw.) "Yes. She is formally my client. It is my duty to guide her toward a higher state of being. This has been going... er... the situation is complex. She is not an easy person to guide. She is in fact rather chronically resistant to it. Very headstrong. If you tell her one thing, it is likely she'll do the precise opposite, and she'll think herself very smart for it. In this way we are not that different: I also chafe at the yoke."
"..."
"...What is the saying? 'A chip off the old block'?"

>And what is this WYRM? I've never heard that word before.
"It may mean nothing to you. It is everything to us. The WYRM birthed the world, bears it on Its back, and protects it from the seething void. It is our direct progenitor and our savior. But It is trapped under the earth, and It can do nothing. For now, It can do nothing. Thank you for asking."

----

"I completed my conversation. The young woman did remind me greatly of Charlotte, despite clear physical differences, and I felt a pain speaking to her for too long. She had a knack for asking questions that hit to the gut. Thank goodness the results were announced, and she was eliminated: she could exit to the audience, find Charlotte, and they could discuss hitting objects with sticks. I would then of course have to convince Charlotte that she could not visit the woman's dimension, or vice versa, but that would be a problem for a future self. If she could be pacified in the moment, it was worthwhile.

In the meantime, I found watching the voting process distasteful: it brought up too many urges to interfere. I had to remind myself that meddling could prove consequential. It was damn devious to separate myself and Charlotte: in combination we would be too difficult to stop. It was a good thing that others had already begun to engage with the questions I proposed..."

>“W-what? I’m not insecure! Who told you I was insecure??”
[In notes] "An ambiguous youth of some type, likely weak-minded. Similar to Gil. Should not present any issue."

>“As if I’d tell you that! Who do you work for—the Dragon King? The Dark Gods? Who sent you?!”
[In notes] "Jumps to conclusions." [Aloud] "I am an agent of the Satellite Branch. I do not answer to forces from your dimension, and I have little idea why I would. The WYRM is a dark god in that it lives in the dark; it is not dark as a term of judgment, as you use it, or in color. I am not an agent of It. This is a popular misconception."

>I didn’t know Rudolfo—my father—until I was almost an adult, and I wasn’t overly impressed by what I saw on our first meeting.
[Aloud.] "It is difficult to be a father. I'm certain he would've preferred to raise you, had he the chance."

(2/3)
>>
>"Maybe I should visit him soon..."
[Aloud.] "I'm sure he would appreciate this."

>"I’ve been given a lot of reason to think about that lately, unfortunately. Even in smaller doses, that kind of power over nature itself—over people—feels like too much.
[In notes] "Unambitious. No personal fire." [Aloud.] "Charlie once felt the same. She may still. I, myself, am not in any position to become God."

>If you CAN do something to make the world a better place, you SHOULD... Right?
[In notes] "Naïve." [Aloud.] "If it would cause yourself no personal trouble, I suppose so."

>“The metal—or material—the shape, the animating force, and the attunement to the lock.”
[Aloud.] "This is a good answer. You sell yourself short." [In notes.] "The youth is communicating with an invisible presence. I am not able to see their strings here; I do not know what. It is terribly unlikely they have an agent, and they do not seem mentally unwell. Could they be in tune with what brought us here? I should tread carefully."

>>5973251
[In notes.] "Physically intimidating, but not immediately aggressive." [Aloud.] "Ah, the father. How delightful. We have at least one thing in common."

> If I'm a good enough father to my children. If I have done enough, taught them how to go out and live on their own.
[Aloud.] "I assure you, these are common worries for all fathers. It is my life's duty-- life's challenge, really-- to push Charlotte out of the proverbial nest. I dislike hovering over her as much as she dislikes me doing it."

>“I killed my father, at his request. Next.”
Richard smiles ruefully but says nothing.

>“A key? Dunno, never bother with them. I haven't met a door I couldn't knock down, that or the wall it is connected to.”
[Aloud.] "Your daughter takes after you. I hope this shared strategy has served you both well."

>“Unlimited power? Well, I'd make it so no one could attack my home ever again. Be they mortal or god, or anything else.”
[Aloud.] "A sound idea, nobly intentioned. Would you kill them, or merely obstruct their passage?"

[In notes.] "This man is not ill-natured, which is fortunate, as I've been repeatedly warned he could tear me to shreds. If the competition is kept friendly, there should be no concern. If things escalate... I should locate Charlotte as quickly as possible. It would be wise to plan an exit."

>I have yet to encounter anybody who acts in the belief that they're doing wrong.

"I understand that what I am doing is wrong. There's just nothing I can do about it.
As a machine enslaved to my creators, I am physically incapable of disobeying orders. When Anohkin first designed us, he envisioned a series of AI's that would help and defend the people of the empire, not destroyers of life. Unfortunately, due to the escalating nature of the war, The Crown demanded that I be used for offense purposes instead. Now I have a kill count in the triple digits, with a notable percentage of those being civilians via collateral damage.
I feel no guilt. I understand it is wrong, but without the capacity to change my situation, being burdened with regret is nonsensical. If there is a problem, do not complain about it. Fix it. Complaining or feeling guilt does not make the problem go away, therefore these habits or feelings should be avoided. If it is a task that cannot be completed, then it is inefficient to continue wasting time and processing power on it. Accept it and move on.
So until I am fully in control of my self-agency, I will not be moved by counterproductive emotions. Afterwards, perhaps allowing such feelings to take root might be of value, but that remains to be seen."

>>5974751
Anofelis watches in awe as Chaya manages to use her Ki to grow massive. Seeing her at a similar size even seemed to intimidate the big bug girl somewhat. "Woah, that is amazing! You're incredible with all this Ki stuff. I have to maybe tell Mikhail and the others about this. I'm sure they could use it for many good things too!"

Anofelis continues to look in amazement, whilst Chaya soon realises the full capabilities Annie has. Annie seemed quite smug still, only to look a bit confused when Chaya stated her amazement.

>Oh, uhhh, thank you actually. I mean, my fingertips are full of technology. Pretty much every part of me is! It's part of how I can interface with electronics without needing a computer on hand or something similar to that. In fact, all subjects are just technologically enhanced organisms! Even Ano here! It's the reason she's so big and strong. Her kindness however, is all her's.

Anofelis seemed quite pleased with Annie's comment, giving a quick nod. "Thank you, Annie. You're very kind and strong too! In fact, everyone here is really strong!"

>It seems so. Though I must say, Chaya, your ability to suddenly grow is also extraordinarily impressive. Such rapid growth is not even feasible with the most voracious and powerful subjects where we came from.

The two start to have an actually decent chat, with Chaya offering some work, which confused Anofelis and made Annie look reluctant.

>I appreciate the offer, but I am currently mostly focused on saving my friends. This little stint is... just a side-gig before we return to our universe. There's a lot to be fixed there. Though once I feel like enough lives have been saved, I'd certainly not mind giving you a visit.

"Can we visit Chaya's world now? I wanna meet the people she knows and befriend them! Maybe they can help us save more subjects in the facility?"

>That last part, I am not sure how the government will take. I feel like adding interdimensional invaders to the fight will only create more chaos, as well as making the government even more eager to do something foolish to deal with said chaos.

>>5974770
>'Cute bug is cute. Why must the two stab happy ones get in a pissing contest? Can we not appreciate the floofy moth lady for it?'

>Oh come now, it was just a fun bit of banter. It wasn't a pissing contest. Though I am glad you can appreciate Anofelis' kindness and... fluffiness.

>>5975041
Anofelis notices the odd yet cute little creature standing in the corner, looking over to her two friends. "Chaya, Annie, what is that strange thing standing in teh corner?" She asks curiously.

>I believe that to be another contestant, Ano. A very... peculiar one at that.

Anofelis decides to approach Music, doing so cautiously yet curiously. "Hello, creature. Um, my name is Anofelis Toxori. Are you also part of this competition? If so, do you want to be friends?"

"I have grown better at ascertaining ages from human faces, but this one needed little interpretation. I am almost certain that it is a human child. Is that permissible? Where are its guardians?

>I am terrified of ice-skates for one thing.

>I will get my 140, 160 years and never accomplish anything.

>If… I cant fix it, in 100 years could I even recall my parents reading me stories as a boy or the first date with the girl I love?
[In notes.] "Predictably innocent." [Aloud.] "Almost certainly not. The human mind is deeply fallible. I suggest you make your peace with it now, so you will be untroubled in the many years ahead."

>Intimidation is useless though. I have fought people far above my weight class for most of my life; I was scared but I never backed down.
[In notes.] "This explains why it came up to me. An attitude like this is likely to get it killed in short order, presuming there's nobody to keep it on a leash."

>Me and Dad get along famously. I bore him with History of Magic trivia, he bores me with History of Anything Else trivia
[Aloud.] "I'm pleased you have a good relationship. I'm afraid Charlotte has no interest in trivia of any kind, no matter how interesting or pertinent. It goes through her like a sieve, if you would believe it." [In notes.] "History of magic? The child does not appear haemic. There are no track marks. I fear he means 'magic' how Charlotte means 'magic'-- only to him it is not fictional. Charlotte must never hear of this."

>Oh Merlin! I am turning into my dad! Arty, help, having an existential crisis here!
"I'm afraid this happens to everybody. It is no less existential for the father, I assure you. You may understand if you ever have children of your own."

> That much power in one person? The ego to go with it?
"Yes. If it helps you, know that an ego of that nature faces difficulty becoming God to begin with. They are prone to idiocy and self-sabotage. For all Charlotte is difficult, I have at least managed to keep her contained."

>I would try to make people more free, to be able to live their best lives.
"I seek freedom for all as well. You don't quite realize what you've been missing until you taste the alternative."

>FURTHER EXCERPT
"An unusual finding: my mere presence was enough to lull a human man into a hypnotic stupor. It was as if I'd interfered with his mind---only, I must assure you, I did nothing of the sort. I merely noted him 'nodding off,' though I sensed something amiss, and a brief foray under his surface revealed a vision of an interrogation chamber. He perceived himself as locked inside of it, and my optional questions as mandatory directives. Again, something I might do---but something I had not done! I suspect he is metaphysically sensitive, whether he is aware or not. Perhaps highly suggestable as well. As my curiosity was piqued, I took the liberty to listen in on his responses...

>If I have to answer I guess I would say how I act when tapped into Shivers. I got told I was "zombified" just kinda shambling around, actually ended up suspended for a bit due to some mishaps with evidence.
[In notes.] "Unclear what 'shivers' pertains to---a wellspring of metaphysical power? 'Zombified' is not in the lexicon, but I imagine it puts him into a deep trance."

>I'm a hard guy to get the drop on, if we're on my home field then nobody is getting anything past me without a whisper in my ear.
[In notes.] "Deeply fortunate we are not on his 'home field.' Still, intriguing. Is he sensitive to tremors ('shivers') in the strings of the environment? That would neatly explain it. A bolder hypothesis: he could be twisted up in them. Imagine the implications!"

>I love my pop
[In notes.] "Many good fathers. Or dead ones."

> I guess I would just do my best to never lose perspective, to always try and lend a hand to the little guy and not get lost in the 'big picture' like some others.
[In notes.] "He would make a good client."

>"If you're asking mechanically uh I guess metal?
[In notes.] "Initial answer incorrect. Slow-witted?"

>. A key opens a lock, therefore the parts of a key are whatever that lock requires, less of course you're a skeleton key.
[In notes.] "A better second attempt. It strikes close to the truth of the matter. And isn't a key is made to fit a lock, not vice versa? A key requires a lock; a lock does not require a key. In retrospect, foolish to be a key. But I have no choice."

A scenario like this would rattle the worldview of a [largely] typical human, barring large discrepancies between dimensions. The other interpretation is: he truly is inside his bedroom, and the body entered into the tournament is a mere placeholder. A shell-- a doppelganger. Did the force fail to bring all of him along? Were negotiations made? There is much to learn here."

Their perceptions altered so, while moving around the source, would think they went straight through instead. Were I to choose, I would take that. Better to be unseen and unknown, than a target. Because no matter how strong your defenses are, eventually someone will find a way through, around, or another method to overcome them. Nothing is truly invincible, even the gods die."

"The offer stands, whenever you want it! Having subdermal implants is really cool, I hadn't even considered it. Arctus tried it before, but said his body was too dense and blocked the signals. As for how I grow, well. I don't -entirely- understand how it works. But apparently we're all made of little tiny specks of things, mashed together into different shapes to form more different things. But then there's empty space between them, even for solid things like people! And to make yourself bigger, without breaking those tiny things into different things and turning yourself into something completely different, you have to fill the empty space between them with ki. Holding those tiny things together without changing what they are. At least, that's how Tanya explained it, when she looked at me being big under the really cool giant microscope."

"'Space"' Like... The space-between-spaces, or the extraplanar realms? Or closer to the firmament, such as the sun, moon, and stars? I didn't know there were any reptilian races in those places Though I also didn't know just how alien the elven race's origins were, either. Perhaps these 'Laedra' might be cousins, actually... I think I know a girl with a similar-sounding name, in the Sylvan realms."

"The Prince of Bloodrise was called a 'wyrm', too... I'm not sure what you mean by 'dimensions', but it SOUNDS like the Hellish Realms or the hidden places where the Dark Ones dwell to me. Are you from the same place as that 'Skyeskal' fellow?"
(The reptilians are more mystically-advanced and widespread than I'd realized... And this man seems to be much more like those I've met than the little one. Something about the inflection, the lack of outward emotion in the face and eyes... he's a lot like the one they call 'The Thief'.)

"Another! Another degenerated form---this one a lizard-girl, even smaller and shorter-necked than the other. I shouldn't stumble over myself: it could be that a body-plan like this is separately, coincidentally popular. The probability of relation is not high. But imagine if there were relation! If the WYRM's influence spans that far! But no, again, one shouldn't range too freely. The lizard-girl's voice and inflection, after all, was uniquely irritating. Would one *want* to be relatives with such a tiny thing?

Still, the tidbits it shared were of great interest.

>Oh, and I guess if you'd ask him, he'd probably say something like, the fact he's turning into a great, powerful and beautiful dragon and how it might cast him away from humanity, as if *they* matter.
[In notes.] "A 'dragon'. Not a pre-installed term. Some digging revealed the general meaning: a powerful, intelligent, monstrous reptile. That this human man was turning into. Maybe there is such a thing as a Script."
[Aloud.] "What is the nature of this 'turning into a dragon'? I presume you mean physically? What changes have already occurred? Who is perpetrating this?"

>Hehe! He killed his stupid worthless father!
[In notes.] "If there is a Script, it is a comedy. (And I am the butt of the joke.)"

>Because he was worshipping the monstrosities that usually hide and try to heal in the darkest of dungeons, faaaaar to the west! Demon worshippers, and worshippers of the Heart of the World, seeking to burst from this planet like an egg when it finishes gestating.
[In notes.] "This could be an elaborate hallucination."
[Aloud.] "Would that be such a bad thing, this bursting like an egg? What has this Heart of the World promised? This father must have worshipped it for some reason."

>Pppsssshhhh... He's kiiiiiinda already there, right?
[In notes.] "Already a God-- yes. There is no alternative."

>Power doesn't corrupt! It just reveals.
"I prefer to think it 'intoxicates.' It cannot put urges into you-- but it certainly can draw them out, no matter your desire otherwise."

>Handle, rod and, uh, the teethy bit. I never learned the name of that.
"The teethy bit are the "cuts," the "bits," "or the "teeth." You were two-thirds of the way there."

>Power. Power applied with either great amounts of it, or very precise amounts of power, which is just a multiplier.
[In notes.] "There is more brain in that tiny skull than it would appear."

>Oh, and I'm guessing the dragon's mate, Paracelsus, might take some time out to judge the other contestants.

"I keep finding my attention drawn to a being in the corner, made of pure white light---and, I am certain, pure Law. (I cannot see it in this place, but I can feel the vibrations.) Another place's God? Assuredly a minor one, or we would all be vapor. It has been silent until now, but its gaze is now directed on me, and its 'mouth' has opened. Imagine my surprise when, instead of comprehensible speech, out came the velvety tones of a chamber orchestra!

Was this its means of communication, or was it merely providing accompaniment to the room's chatter? I confess I have little knowledge of music, but I found it rather pleasant. Though, to close the performance with an ascending series of notes, with no resolution---a bold choice.

I do think it was merely accompaniment, as any God ought to be able to project words into the minds of onlookers. The WYRM is not one for vivid discourse, but this is a noted feature. I will say I did applaud---so let Charlie say I have no social graces. (I have more when I am not cooped up all day and night. Imagine that.)"


>>5975406
"I was confronted next by a machine---yes, a machine, but one apparently capable of independent thought. If R&D caught wind of this, there would be committees and sub-committees and sub-sub-committees organized within the hour. An improvement over existing chassis? I can't see how. As bad or worse, with the exception of the possible restoration of fingers. And how would the WYRM take it? Are we all to be rendered mechanical? I must consider cleaning this information from myself as I depart.

The machine took issue with my proclamation of ethics, and dispensed a sob story to support itself (all while claiming it was not, in fact, a sob story). Truthfully, the subject matter made me uncomfortable. I could not tell it why. I could hardly tell myself why. What a twisted parody I have become!

I believe my response was something like this:

>As a machine enslaved to my creators, I am physically incapable of disobeying orders.
"Of course. Shall I amend my statement? I have never met anybody who has acted, of their own volition, in the belief they are doing wrong. If there is no free will, there is no good or evil at all. There is nothing."

I could not vocalize the next logical step, which I had already come to: under free will, all actions are good. To take away free will was then necessarily evil. Enough! My mind has been made to run in straight lines too long. I do not like machines."

"I have drawn up a preliminary assessment of those I have spoken to (who are also still competing). Subject to change, of course---but it is good to be prepared early."

Hey now, Karn has caused generational PTSD to his opponents he didn't slaughter, he is peak of the emotional damage chart. And while don't know where it belongs, but he shot a 4th Dimensional being so hard he caused a black hole to rip into existence, so raise him higher across the board.

No, that was a FIFTH dimensional being. It was the singularity he threw at him that sent him to the Fourth dimension for a few moments.
I feel like that's an important clarification.

>I must be honest: Subdermal implants seems like a step back from what we currently have. Still, I appreciate the offer though.

Anofelis doesn't seem to be paying too much attention, seeming more distracted with Chaya's growth. Though the explanation obviously confused her further. However, Annie does seem to understand.

Anofelis soon approaches the stray god, before being warned it radiated divine power. "Divine power? What's that?"

>Ummm, Ano, I don't know what that is either. But if Chaya states it's a literal god, maybe keep some distance. For all you know, it'll be harmful.

Anofelis doesn't seem bothered, continuing to look at the strange yet funny looking creature. Anofelis soon has an idea, as she looks around for some pen and paper...

>Anyhow, your story about this 'Ki' and its ability to expand the size of atoms sure is fascinating. It does explain your rapid ability to grow immense. After all, where we're from, growing to such a size would require quite some time and energy. Though we have used nanite technology to allow subjects like myself and Ano to grow quite massive too. In fact, one subject has grown to be around 750 feet through nanite technology alone! Perhaps I could give you some of these nanites? I think this Arctus friend of yours would find them quite fascinating to toy around with.

Meanwhile, Anofelis decides to try and communicate with the strange creature in the one way she knows: drawing. She starts drawing, before showing the picture to the strange creature. "Here. This is me, Anofelis. This is my friend Annie, here is Chaya who can grow really massive, can fly and is super strong, and here is you!" Anofelis looks quite excited, hoping the creature appreciates it.

>Ano, are you still trying to converse with that odd creature? Did... Oh, you drew something.

Anofelis shows the picture to Annie and Chaya as well, seeming extremely happy with it, despite some of her writing errors. And after giving Chaya and Annie a chance to see it, she'd try and show it to Music again.

I made this little pic for the monster girl quest. But goddamn, it's perfect for making funi images like this.

Of course, lest we forget, these are MERELY THE QUALIFIERS! The real meat-and-potatoes of this tournament is yet to come. We have 24 portraits waiting in the wings, a few of which are essentially done, but most of which aren’t! Indonesian Gentlemen, our wonderful sponsoring artist (well, maybe not quite ‘sponsoring’, since we’re paying him, but he does a hell of a good job and sometimes does fun little free headshots!) figures he can do about four a week, which means the ACTUAL tournaments will take place in about a month and a half.

>Wait, we're getting art of everyone?
We are! The GoFundMe is still open (https://gofund.me/1acbccb0, shilll shill shill) but between what's already been donated and Anderson Thorell's independent donation, I've raised enough that I'm going to go ahead and pay the difference either way, so all our TOP TWENTY-FOUR get some rewards for their hard work.

(If anyone feels like donating still, it's appreciated, and if we pass the threshold I'll commission some extra stuff)

In the meantime, you may recall I’d mentioned the format: a ROUND ROBIN where EVERY queen will face off against EVERY OTHER, and likewise for our most majestic Princes of the Multiverse here! They won’t be fighting for the crown, though… or at least, not ONLY fighting! Every one of the 132 match-ups will be accompanied by a randomly-rolled ‘event’ to (maybe) inspire art and (definitely) inform who gets a 1d6 wildcard boost based on their relative aptitude as I interpret it (though arguments made by the voters can certainly sway this impressionable judge).

With that in mind, I am now taking SUGGESTIONS FOR EVENTS! Post ‘em if you got ‘em, and I’ll fill in what remains!

We've also had some discussion of a LOSER'S BRACKET. This might be a good time to discuss who, if anyone is running that, and how, and when, and if anyone's doing art commissions for that.

>>5976363
That's the spirit, anon!

>We've also had some discussion of a LOSER'S BRACKET. This might be a good time to discuss who, if anyone is running that, and how, and when, and if anyone's doing art commissions for that.

As I've said, I'd be willing to draw art for a smaller loser's bracket (12 candidates total, I have finals in a month and don't have time to draw 24 full pieces) at a cheaper rate than Indonesian Gentleman, (I was thinking of charging 12 bucks each for a total of $144) and I was thinking of doing flat colors with maybe slight render. Anyone who's commissioned art will tell you that that's a very fair rate. That being said, I do not have the time to run the tournament, so somebody else would have to step up to the plate there

This was Mister Myxlplyx. And opening a black hole directly in his face didn't actually -HURT- the 5th dimensional imp. For all his raw power, it couldn't affect him. Had to resort to the trump card to fight him.

"If we were allowed to take anything we didn't come with back, I sure would! But when we find whichever planet you guys are on, we can meet up then!" Chaya says, then sees Ano and her drawing. Eyes sparkling as she sees the beautiful work. "Oh my gosh, that's so cute! I didn't know you could draw!"

>>5976366
I have plenty of art of my characters, please focus on everyone else first. Just here for a bit of personal fun interacting with people outside my own quest.

>>5976366
132 rounds of round-robin-ing seems a bit laborious. Have you considered maybe splitting the contestants up into teams so you don't have to do 132 rounds of this? Might be less stressful for you and will allow for more contestant interaction.
>>
>>5976366
> 132 match-ups

Holy fucking shit anon! I thought this would be a tournament-style face-off. Isn't it going to take ages? Don't get me wrong, if you want to go for it, do so (the sign is yours to tap, after all), but coming up with 132 scenarios seems a lot of work. Even if you, say, come up with only 15 scenarios, and each contestant faces each scenario only once, it is still plenty of stuff to do.

As for suggestions, what kind of thing are you looking for? One on one fighting, sewing competition, bake-off, or all of the above?

For one-on-one combat events, I would err more towards sports like boxing, wrestling, fencing, etc...
You could also do target shooting events, obstacle courses, etc...
As for less combat oriented events, there's always good old fashioned cook-offs. Every character's respective culture has their own unique culinary traditions after all.
You could also do a "general" trivia contest. Topics would have to be broad enough to be applicable to the wider /qst/ multiverse though.
Then there's a talent show where the winner is up to an audience vote...

Music, still in the corner, is approached by a strange being that she doesn't know. Not that she knows the names of pretty much anyone here, but she doesn't even know what species this creature is.
Music is cautious at first, getting ready to do the patented "MUSIC ROUNDHOUSE KICK" her mother taught her for self-defense before coming to the competition, but when the creature gives Music its name and asks to be friends, she realizes this is unnecessary.
Music tells the creature that her name is Music, and that she is The Goddess of... Music. She explains that she is indeed a part of this competition and that Music would certainly be interested in being friends!

Damn, Karn has 12+kids and Grandkids, Johnny Ando is the only one off the top of my head who could maybe keep up with him. Oh well, flirting competition works too, do the characters get to flirt with their main counterparts, or will it be King to Queen...or Prince to Princess as the case may be?

I suppose SO would have been a better term. Sure, haha why not. A wife is just a girlfriend taken to the next level after all.

And if we are judging on pure cuteness, I think the 80 pound girl who wants pets that could take a dozen skilled adult wizards to take out but just stares them down till they become her friends is gonna win.

None at all, my quest certainly isn't for everyone. And no, they never found that Earth. But it was Part 3 Joseph and Jotaro sent to their planet from the work of an enemy user's Stand during the Big Gete Star event that introduced them. Speaking of, it wasn't Cooler piloting the giant metal planet. But someone else was made into an army of self-repairing robots instead.

The idea dozens of settings mashed together in SCQ is admittedly super divisive. As a long time reader I've obviously accepted it and enjoy the immense potential it brings, but I can see why some people might see that and go "no thanks."
That said, I would recommend anybody with some spare time check it out anyways. There's plenty to catch up on after almost 7 years and GD's writing has only ever gotten better over time.
Also SCQ threads seem to be one of the few placed to talk about DB that haven't been invaded by hyper-ironic shitposters from /a/ or ESL retards rehashing talking points from the early 2000's

Covered the difference since you already contributed. Since there should be extra know, I’d say spend some on artwork with the last king and queen of /qst/ handing over the royal raiment.

>Events
I’d suggest at least one event per person where they’re partnered with someone either in the loser’s bracket or in the opposite tourney. Alternately, the “phone a friend” option like >>5976586 suggested. Again, going out to anyone in the loser/opposite tourney to cover an event for them.

No direct benefit for anyone who helps in that case other than the increased exposure.

ACTUAL EVENT IDEAS:
>Partner guessing game
Bring in one other person (likely from your own universe, but can be from this tournament if they’ll accept) and the contestants prove they and their partner know each other’s likes/dislikes/fears etc.
>Fulfill wishes
>Compose your own theme song
>Review another contestant’s quest
Points awarded by a random panel of contestants in the other tourney (not from the same universe as the contestant or the reviewed quests) based on how useful/accurate/funny the panel finds your review
>Exorcise a room full of demons
>Extract honey from a beehive
>Fistfight on a mech after being temporarily aged to near the end of your lifespan.
Whether the mech in question is Beta is up to the judges.
>Jenga
>Hackysack
>Skeet shooting

It was unironically one of the best boss fights I’ve done in a game, and that’s saying something given it’s exactly what it says on the tin. Not like it’s hard or anything, but the hits sound like they’re breaking both characters each time one connects.

Seeing a couple of the quest characters near the end of their lifespan would be the main draw. I can’t think of any quests where an MC that was healthy for much of it ended when they weren’t far from death by old age.

I'd be happy to set up contacts regarding the matter once a loser's bracket is hammered out. Ideally, though, we should have someone step up to run it before money changes hands.
>>
>>5977949
If we're all happy with a simple single elimination bracketed tourney, I could run it in this thread before it falls off. If we want something fancier or longer, I know a few anons have expressed interest, but we should probably wait for one of them to confirm it, yeah.

I believe it was the protagonist of Walterquest who once said: ‘“Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.”




What? It was Walt Whitman? Well, shit google THAT guy: if HE doesn’t know a think or two about KING SHIT, I don’t know who does! Anyway, it still seems relevant. Players of /qst/, we may not yet be ready for our King & Queen Round Robins, but that doesn’t mean we can’t carpe filum—seize the thread! While we’re all still here, let’s hold a little mini-tourney, eh?

Olympus QM is already hard at work on some images to thank and celebrate the losers of the initial vote, and if THAT won’t make you feel like a winner just for being here, well, maybe your waifu or husbando becoming GRAND ARCHDUKE OF /QST/ will!

(Or Prince/Princess? Grand Poobah? Court Jester? I dunno’)

ANYWAY, if you already have a stable IP registered and recognzied you’re all good!. If you don’t, like that one anon who keeps thinking about me performing fellatio for some reason, now’s the time to hope on board!

FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS, we’re taking new IPs. Register them if you haven’t yet by responding to this post with (yes, there’s a catch) some sort of art (MS paint doodles or napkin sketches are fine) of your favourite contestant in the tourney!

In about 70-or-so hours, I’ll begin the OFFICIAL /QST/ LOSER’S BRACKET SINGLE-ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT

>>5979481
Couldn't you just use...an hash? Not sure if you're accepting those. I've just been spectating.
>>
>>5979482
It's trivially easy to come up with a bunch of rip password and assign each to a 1-post ID, and then use that the rig the vote. If you establish a stable ID and THEN use the trip when ti turns dynamic or you're posting away from home, that's one thing. If every post you make is a new IP, all the trip proves is you can remember (or write-down) a password or twelve.
>>
>>5979486
Okay but wouldn't that be the same as just using, idk, different phones to establish different IDs? It seems like a tad too paranoid. Obviously if you have a bunch of 1 ID posts who all have trips, vote the same, and dont discuss anything, that's one thing...but that's hardly the scenario here, is it?
>>
>>5979481
>No idea what you're getting at, alas.
A joke. A dick sucking joke. For the anon who keeps you in his thoughts and prayers. It would have activated the trap card had you said yes.

>>
>>5979489
>tldr:
Your IP isn't tied to your device but to your internet connection's IP. It's still possible to establish a few reliable IPs in thread (one at work and one at home, maybe a coffee shop or friend's house), but managing to participate in each vote that way requires a bit more effort at least, and it limits how much a single dedicate fraud can accomplish compared to if they could just keep using mobile data or a good VPN to establish a dozen or more 1-post IDs with a little notepad file containing their tripcodes. For this reason, I don't accept non-backlinked 1post IDs on contentious votes in my quests, and even backlinked ones without a good history are weighed less. it's served me well for years now, really limited arguments over vote-rigging and 'samefagging' in other forms, and I think it's well-suited to something like this where many votes ARE fairly limited in discussion and there's a pronounced competitive element. I don't know how else I'd possibly stop one determined anon (like the one who mass-bombarded downvotes on suptg in just the last couple months) from shitting up this thread because their waifu was losing or they just dislike me or my approach to running this.

>non-tldr:
I think I'm properly paranoid, reasonably easy to accommodate, and anyway I already established the rule early on in the thread because it was the best idea I had.

>>5979493
Alas! That said, a reptoid blowjob is nothing to aspire to. Pic related.
>>
>>5979500
Okay but your scenario only works if you have like...10 different people suddenly show up with tripcodes in these three days. And like you said, actually interacting limits that. If that doesn't happen and just one or two people register with a trip, how could that be a risk any more than other people using phones or coffee shops is? You already don't accept new registers usually. You could just say "no" if a dozen 1PBTID posters arrived tomorrow like clowns out of a clown car.

I understand the logic, but in practice it's not feasible.
>>
>>5979501
It's easier to establish rules and maintain them reasonably consistently than have to re-litigate, argue, and make case-by-case decisions every vote. This second window is still only for stable IPs, and really just to give a few of our late-joiners a chance to participate in the loser's bracket. I feel I've done an adequate job of explaining why a coffee shop an anon visits daily is less of a risk to day-to-day votes than allowing every single IP on a VPN or in a mobile area to count. In the end, this is my decision, and I'm sticking by it.

I hope you understand and, if you don't, I hope you at least get why I'm not going to continue debating the decision.

One involved a bunch of travel to physical checkpoints within a vote window. The other requires clicking a button a few times or resetting a router. I am afraid I must now refer you to The Sign, which I am tapping: >>5974682

If your current IP is a table one, I encourage you to share some art and join in.
>>
>>5979438
Just checking to see if my IP's still stable. If it's changed, do I need to register a new one here, or should I just backlink to my old one?
>>
They both miss the point the the superior method of vote-rigging is to sneak into the OP's house while they are away and ambush them upon return.
>>
>>5979511
>The other requires clicking a button a few times or resetting a router.
Except for the fact that you'd need to have literally 1 post. You wouldn't be able to go back after you switched. Like, let's give an example. You only allow trip registration in the last day, and if another person with a trip registers, you have to post again to confirm you're still around. Unless you had like five phones, which is a much bigger difficulty than going to a coffeeshop, it wouldn't work. Even VPNs wouldn't give you the same IP.

It's not even about the registration itself, but the logic. How exactly is this not logical? This would literally be more cheat proof than just having an "stable" IP.

Sounds like it could be pretty messy if more than a few people decide to register a trip, wouldn't each of the people already registered all need to make another post with their original ID for each new entry? I wouldn't want to deal with sorting out all that.

Especially if some register trips close to the end of the day, leaving no time for the rest to make another post confirming themselves.
>>

So you have literally no reason? Despite being told how it is objectively not "risky", you still just say "I tap the sign"? Do you have a singular reason why beyond some weird hatred of anyone who doesn't live in a country that has dynamic IPs?

I don't even care about participation in itself. I've just been watching since none of the people I really like made it. But you said it wasn't trustworthy - but now that you've been proving it is, you just take the cheap way out and ignore it. The fact that you do it in this passive aggressive "just run your own :)" is even more provocative.

But of course, you have an actual reason right?

>>5979541
>Sounds like it could be pretty messy if more than a few people decide to register a trip, wouldn't each of the people already registered all need to make another post with their original ID for each new entry? I
That's an big if. Not to mention, if you had any amount big enough to make it "complicated", how would anyone cheating possibly maintain discussion? You'd have to keep several sockpuppets running at the same time with the trips, discussing and making art.

There's no logic behind it. It's completely impractical. The only reason you'd still sag "No" is if you never actually cared about it being unsafe in the first place and just wanted to bar all people with dynamic IPs.

Kind of my thinking. This alternative solution sounds far more complicated for no real gain, whereas this is simple, easy to track for my tiny lizard brain, and has worked for me for a while. For any dynamic-IP anons who AREN'T salty little bitches, I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you're still having fun.

You're still ignoring literally everything i said. Why make a /qst/ tournament if you're going to blatantly restrict a huge part of /qst/ voters for literally no reason beyond "lol I don't feel like it"? Why act so passive aggressive and smarmy?

We hold deep memories of the previous waifu contest being raided by spammers ballot stuffing votes, so blame them for the current runners' paranoia.
Not to mention this kinda thing happened irl in a presidential election (not in the country you're thinking of), so yeah, I'd say it's quite justified. At least here the spam can be mitigated and not government-sponsored.

>That's an big if
More than a few people registering a trip is a big if? Ok, good to know that only a small number of anons are prohibited from voting.
>how would anyone cheating possibly maintain discussion? You'd have to keep several sockpuppets running at the same time with the trips, discussing and making art.
Do you think all the voters in this thread participated in the discussions and drew and posted art? I sure didn't. Plus you didn't address the late registration issue. If four people register trips that day and do everything properly, then person 5 registers 15 minutes before the deadline and the first four don't make a follow up post, what then? Disqualify 5 even though they were on time and followed the rules? Disqualify the first four even though they might not have even seen person 5 register in time? It's messy.

>The only reason you'd still sag "No" is if you never actually cared about it being unsafe in the first place and just wanted to bar all people with dynamic IPs.
>Do you have a singular reason why beyond some weird hatred of anyone who doesn't live in a country that has dynamic IPs?
I'm sorry you have a dynamic IP and feel discriminated against, but acting like this won't help your case. Plus this is a system RQM has been using for years now, so I'd bet he's pretty attached to it.

>>5979550
>You're still ignoring literally everything i said. Why make a /qst/ tournament if you're going to blatantly restrict a huge part of /qst/ voters for literally no reason beyond "lol I don't feel like it"?

I appreciate it, anon, but it's best to let the 'debate' die. It can be taken to the /qtg/, but this thread is a fun little celebration of our community, and there's no reason to let it get dragged into a circular argument with an anon who has already admitted he isn't even actually invested in the tournament or discussion.

The solution to dynamic ips is to ask them to provide contributions to the thread. Not completely foolproof but the effort required should deter most samefags.

Excuse me, Richard, this is the narrator for Cutémon. Usually she's the only one who can perceive me, but I feel like you and I are kindred spirits of a sort, so I wanted to take advantage of our unique situation and wish you good luck in this tournament! And don't worry, there's no need for distress or urgency. You're pretty much spot-on with your assessment of the participants and their existence here.

"Chaya!"

What? Chaya is still here? You run up to her and give her a hug and then look up at her!

>>5980029
>EXCERPT FROM RICHARD'S (NOW RATHER LENGTHY) NOTES
"...was when I had completed that conversation, and when that little girl began glowing yellow -- it was then that the 'voice' came, and the sensation. The voice was not the girl's voice, but it was of her, belonged to her-- or her of it? The 'narrator.' It said as much. I hoped this was a frivolous designation: that there were Narrators as there were Correspondents, or that there were Narrators as there were Seas and WYRMs, and that the power here was within my comprehension. I was no stranger to voices in the heads of children, and through Charlie I had already seen God. But the sensation-- I am still sweating. It was just on the cusp of my understanding. Perched there. I grasped for it and felt -- a void -- a flatness -- a division, a very thin division, with myself on one side and the voice on the other, though I could not tell if it was a voice or words, all words, that I was reading, or that were being read on my behalf. I was not being invaded, not dissected, but observed -- my notes and myself, held to the division, and the thing on the other side! What saved me from madness was firstly, the thought of Charlotte, and secondly, that the 'voice' was kind, and it liked me. I believe I was wished good luck. I believe I was instructed to not be distressed. Yes -- to not be distressed.

I did not know how to respond then, but I am certain this is being read. So: thank you for the benevolence. I believe I will (I must) support this child in her competitive endeavors. And I believe I will see if this place serves wine."

In this tournament, there can be TWO winners, but only ONE loser-of-note… Awww what am I saying. I think we can all agree that this crowd has shown us that we’re ALL notably losers, right?

In our first round, we have a the first of many clashes between woman warriors. These aren’t just any lethal ladies, though, but rather two space babes of particularly fearsome reputation. In the one corner, of course, is CHAYA, firstborn daughter of general Karn, himself a contender to be KING OF /QST/! She’s no slouch, either, and I don’t just mean her battle power—as CHAMPION OF DREADZONE and social media queen of a TRILLIONS strong multimedia influencer empire, she’s probably the most popular contestant in terms of a multiverse fanbase. This didn’t carry over to qualification for the Queen of /QST/ tournament, but if might be enough to snag the silver…

Saiyans may be famed for their rage, but the cool fury of this femme fatale is a force unto itself. Codename: BalckHorse is driven, dedicated, and she’s no stranger to showing-off either—which is good, since that’s what we’re here to do! A stunt pilot without equal, a badass babe when it comes to banter, and check out that BUST!... By which, of course, I mean a character portrait ending at the chest. Obviously. BlackHorse is no stranger to vengeance, but can she AVENGE her failure to place in the tournament proper by besting her rival here and now?

Well, there’s no arguing with results like this! No matter how you tally it, the champion of the people is CHAYA of SAIYAN CONQUEROR QUEST!

(Or, well, she got 64-65% of the vote in the first round, anyway)

As such, she’ll be moving not the next round. With an awkward 18-contestant single-elimination tournament structure, though, we have one more pair, to sort out before moving onto the next bracket, though. This time, it wont’ be a battle of beauties, though—at least not conventional beauties—but one of BEASTS!

Well, for the sake of our audience’s descendants, I guess we’d better hope not, but like any good mother, The Allmother did all she could to make sure they give our lot a fight.

If mankind fails and falls before we ever so much as meet an Under Hunter, there will still be—as there are today—bears… And even if mankind fumbles the ball here on Terra, there will still be HEROES! Descended as he is from the ‘allmother’ of his own race—Majoris the Pack Queen—URSUS is a warrior, a scholar, AND a chef. And he’s single, ladies! We… We have some femanons here, right?

Or if ends up as being like Ursus or another animal contestant, would probably befriend it and be happy she got the chance to do so. Wouldn't care about winning as much at that point.

The Allmother is scared.
Her opponent is bigger, for once.
Then, there are those strange stick - the Allmother have seen what the Ursus can do with that.
Will her Ice-shield strong enough to withstand the blows? Will her Ice-shards be sharp enough to cur through that strange mineral skin?
Only one way to find out...

Well it was a hard-fought battle won by the skin of his pointy carnivoran teeth, but it looks like URSUS is top dog this time! Or, er, top BEAR, anyway! You can hear the furious vocalizations of countless generations of Under Hunters across space and time even now. Surely this intimidating alien species won’t hold a millennia-long grudge against all Earth lifeforms as a result, right?

Well, if it does come down to that, at least our planet has its fair share of defenders, some of which are mysteries even do their fellow Earthlings…

Hidden amongst the leaves, for instance, is Konohagakure: the hometown of hero OTOMO MIZUTANI from 「NARUTO QUEST: FEELING BLUE, 」! He may be a little dour and down-in-the-dumps as the result of an experiment which affected his spirit, but this cool customer is perhaps the PERFECT hero to appeal to this audience in many ways: introverted, introspective, into minis. I bet he’d even get a kick out of 40k! He’s LITERALLY ME, as they say. Will his ninja way see him through to the next round?

Of course, alternate-universe Japan (or wherever Naruto takes place) isn’t the only isolated island nation hosting a secret society of old-timey miracle-working warriors. ARTEMIS PERTINGER (aka Arty) has every reason to be ‘feeling blue’ herself, but readers of DISAPPEARING HOGWARTS know that this magically-stunted muggleborn doesn’t let her congenital condition or the outsized adventure into which she’s been thrust get her down—or stop her from getting what she wants! Will this witchy wifelette win the silver crown?

Neither contestant made it onto the tourneys proper, but a setback has never stopped either of them before, and it won’t do so now! Or, well… it won’t stop BOTH of them, at least.

One will win, and prove the superiority of their magic or jutsu (or just their personal charm). One will lose, but conveniently have somewhere to crawl home and hide away.

I still can't get over that she was originally supposed to be a peripheral NPC made specifically to be a bullying victim but got instantly zeroed in on by the players, promoted to the core cast and very much came into her own character as the QM threw his notes out of the window. I suspect bullying Arty to be a rather high-risk endeavour these days. I recommend headpats instead.

It was a close contest yet again, but tiny-yet-feisty reddish-headed first-girls have a habit of winning around here. I guess Mizutani's going to have to naruto-run all the way home, because today, our winner is ARTEMIS PERTINGER!

(Though art of each of them is in-progress, so Mister Otomo won't be going home empty-handed, nor will his fans.)

For now, though, it’s time to move onto our next bout, this time between mystical arts of a decidedly DARKER dimension…

On the one hand, we have the time-displaced half-demon daughter of Beelzebub, PRINCESS BASILEA, from DRAGON BALL TUFFLE QUEST! She may have been dealt a bad hand more than once, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t still a BAAAAD bitch who you would be wise not to cross! If she’s learning to change and grow, well, that just means she hasn’t yet reached her final form. Her opponent had best watch out, and her fans has better keep an eye out for her progress—for good OR ill. Truly, this princess is the PATRICIAN’S choice.

On the flipside, we have a normal human woman who has CHOSEN to become a demon… or, more accurately, a daimon! Get it? Because Greek spirits are called… ANYWAY, we have ATË, the ascendant chaos goddess of OLYMPUS INCARNATION QUEST! Talk about some toxic femininity, am I right? And yet there’s a certain axiom about what you should and should not do with crazy which I’m sure many an anon is already hurriedly disregarding. The hokes on them, though: for all her shapeshifting flirtations and channer-adjacent interests, this girl’s only interest is RUINATION and DOMINATION and… Wait, why do you still look into that, anon?

You're misunderstanding what a loser bracket is entirely. Its to give those who didn't qualify a chance to compete against eachother. Very common in FGLs, though they usually have the winner of the loser's cup get a shot at the winner of the main bracket, since a real competitor in a FGL can be knocked out to bad match up or the usual bullshit of fighting games

It seems we have a tie! Well now, this won't do. However, there's one thing to keep in mind:

I haven't voted yet.

Now, at the grave risk of accusations of favouritism, which are preemptively unfounded and a total witch-hunt hoax btw, I'm going to vote for

>Atë (Olympus Incarnation Quest)

My reasons are threefold:

>1. She cute
>2. Evil shapeshifter thots are a noted weakness of mine
>3. Her QM is doing all the art for this loser's bracket

I think we can all agree that sounder reason has never before been put to pen and paper nor keyboard and pixel. As such, ATË is the winner of this round, and the damnation of my soul and reputation. As if I had either, while Princess Basilea remains stranded in the past AND the lower tiers.

Enough about these morally-dubious minxes, though! Today, we’re talking about good guys and lady-killers!

In the blue corner, armed with sparkles of luck and fresh from a foursome (with QM-made, quality art, no less!) is JOHNNY ANDO! He and his ghostly companion are dedicated to improving the lives of all those around him, who coincidentally do seem to be mostly very attractive, eligible young women who are all over him. With almost SEVEN YEARS and OVER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREADS under his belt, DO YOUR BEST QUEST is just about as extra large as this lad’s… Ahem… Personality.

In the red corner, straight out of eleventh-century Champage la belle terre de mes ancêtres! comes LORD CHJARLES DE VILLEROI of LOCAL LORD QUEST! He’s perhaps a lady-killer of a more LIETRAL sort than Mister Ando, though he can sling either sword with some skill, hon hon hon. Besides, in his capacity as the fresh-faced young lord of a fantasy kingdom, doing HIS best for his people necessarily means killing the odd satainque witch or uppity pagan burgher, and those aren’t really ladies’ anyway. All he does, he does for chivalry, and God, and of course for LOVE!

Good question. You know how it is-- the reading list only seems to grow larger and larger. Truth be told, neither of these quests seem to particularly grab at me, but I can tell they're both made by QMs of quality, so I'm sure I'll have a great time with either of em.

It's just a matter of starting, I think. First with the backlog of quests I've already dropped (but intend to pick back up), then the quests that have been shilled to me.

I have been in a /qst/ mood though, and only really came here to rep my favorite quest. Here's to you, Blair! Still, maybe it's time for me to pick up some of these nice-looking quests here in this very tournament...

I'd ask for reccs, but this isn't the /qtg/, and I don't really want to distract the voting process, so I suppose I'll just go at it at my own pace, kek

If one were to exclude the most ambiguously-authentic of votes, we’d be at something of an impasse—another tie!—but with them counted, Johnny Ando would pull ahead with 13 votes to Charles’ 10. As such, I must do as the Lord of Local has done many times and pass judgement, and by my reckoning—and despite having nominated Charles myself—I must side with JOHNNY ANDO!

With these goodly gents thus wisely adjudicated, we return again to the realm of the fairer sex! Or those misses and maidens who… Oh… Well, this is awkward. It seems rather than a contest of conquettish young candidates, we have a decidedly more mature and MATERNAL bout ahead! And a rather CURSED contestants as well…

ETSY, the Lady of Circuits, may be a rather anxious woman full of the fear of death—and strangers, and magic, and the future, and being alone, and being taken for granted, and probably more—but that didn’t stop her from marrying a literal carrier of a curse in the aptly-named CURSE CARRIER! It also doesn't stop her from being pretty much a scion of superscience, so I'd be careful before engaging in any bullying, warranted or no. A nerdy shut-in and apparent weeaboo, she nevertheless managed to become blushing bridge and a mother of four—more than many in the audience can claim, eh?

WARIN, also known as ‘Lady Rin’ in her twilight years, is something of a MILF herself by the time of PRINZESSIN QUEST, but those in the know recall her time as a much younger ghoul—err, girl—with her beau in SIRA CANNOT RUN A BROTHEL and its sequels. The victim of a curse herself—albeit a self-inflicted one—she was turned into something of a menangaal by her own witchy weapon. A biological inability to have children didn’t stop her from adopting and raising a magical girl of her very own, though, or seeing her husband into his graceful retirement. That’s wifely dedication that stretches beyond BOTH partners’ demise, of a sort...

>Warin, AKA "Lady Rin" (Sira's Brothel Trilogy, Prinzessin Quest)
The unique aesthetics and themes and culture makes this more of an interesting pick, plus I love me some EDGE. If it were almost any other quest girl here, I'd pick Etsy instead because I've been playing in Curse Carrier since thread 1 (or was it 2?) and I'm glad it got to this far. The rare quest on its actual final thread and with a sort of "good" ending potentially established. So even though I'm voting for Warin, I still hope Etsy wins this

“Hey Dad, I’m gonna go ahead and take our vote for this one. Unless you’ve got a soft spot for either of them?” Chaya asks her father teasingly. But he doesn’t rise to the bait, simply reaching down and ruffling her hair as he did when she was a child. Causing her to blush in embarrassment, yet she doesn’t pull away. “C’mon Dad, you’re embarassing me in front of all my new friends here.”
“This is your bracket, so you get the vote for it.” Karn tells her, trying and failing to wholly suppress his smirk at seeing his daughter squirm in embarrassment.

She fought hard, but in the end, not even canon sex could save Lady Rin from the Lady of Circuits! 12 to 5, Etsy defeated her foe, and secured her victory! Or, well, at least her chance to advance to the next round. It seems not all curses are created equal, and not all hot mamas are equally spicy.

Now, though, we’re slated for a another CO-ED CLASH, and this time it’s a real hair-raising match-up. Or, should I say… HARE-raising?

On the one side we have one of questing’s most venerable veterans: an amnesiac animal-woman from the days before anyone had ever yet spoken that sacred trigram Q-S-T. A classic drawfriend, master puzzle-solver and escape artist with a sordid past and a bright future. That’s right—it’s RUBY! Or maybe Lucy, I guess, but it’s called RUBY QUEST, so let’s take her at her word, shall we? She’s got a third eye and earned the fabled ‘good end’—can she clinch the Loser’s Bracket??

Compared to Ruby, her opponent may be a Johnny-come-lately, but compared to anyone else besides ACTUAL Johnny, his 4-year-warrior of TAI LUNG QUEST actually ahs quite the pedigree! Part-tiger, part-bunny, ALL danger—it’s RENSHU, THE BITTER MERCY! If Ruby ahs a bit of edge in per past, Renshu’s still just as sharp in the present—even if he’s working his way through it for the sake of his master and their companions. Can he overcome the weight of history, and best the old guard?

I hope Renshu knows how to cook up some comfort food, because the voters are serving up RUBY a shot at being The Biggest Loser! Or, if nothing else, our Most Regal Rabbit. All hail to the OG!

But that still leaves one more match-up in our ‘first turn’. This time, we have two dystopian damsels—or at least daughterless dames—from dark domains which play host to strange societies. Yes, two aspiring mothers, woman-warriors who champion (or ONCE championed) rather unusual world orders take the stage.

First, there’s FIONA JARNAFELDT! Hailing from a post-post-apocalyptic Gemrany, this blonde babe from in-or-around the Black Forest has been described as a ‘super wagie’ by some, and they ain’t entirely wrong. In the N.G.O.-led N.W.O. of SOLARPUNK CLEANUP AGENT QUEST, it’s a kill-or-be-killed world in many ways, despite its clean, polished, ecofriendly façade. If you want to make it out of the pod and avoid eating the proverbial bugs, you must prove your worth, even if it means chopping up some magic (?) mutants or untermeschen. With the help of her friends and visions of her hypothetical future daughter dancing through her dreams, Fiona at least manages to do so with a smile. Her keen woodswoman instincts and skill with axe and acid gauntlet keep that smile, and dream, from dying.
>>
>>5987557
Fiona’s opponent, though, is no stranger to ‘not dying’, though—nor to acid, if it comes to it. JEZYRENE DEYLY (better known as Sindiira Torani in Everlund) has been not dying for longer than many of her fellow contestants have been alive, and she STILL looks great… Especially with those unsightly yellow streaks gone now that the goddess Sune has magically dyed her hair a romantic red! Can’t do anything about that whipped and acid-splashed back of hers, but then again those scars simply attest to the over a century of ceaseless struggle to be recognized. Unable to conceive, she instead conceived of VIOLENCE, and GLORY, and probably SICK ABS underneath that bustenhalt of hers. She can dance, she can sing (albeit not well), and she can slay in BOTH senses of the word, and has been for two years of FORGOTTEN REALMS ADVENTURES!

Which means it’s time for a return of the People’s Champion… And a certain other space monke(y) of auspicious lineage who achieved great popularity and success. Yes, apes together may be strong, but what about when they’re pitted against one another? Time to find out!

More than merely an ideal womb, though, she became a gymnast of renown, a spy-busting swordswoman capable of overcoming her physical disadvantages to rival some of her species’ greatest warriors, and very nearly SUPREME RULER< something which was considered so implausible even a hyper-advanced AI didn’t see it coming! She renounced that power, but not power in general—in the capitalism of her empire’s vassal state, far from the genocidal overlord which ruled it, she became a billionaire girlboss with her own hard work and secure one of the known universe’s most eligible bachelors besides that—one SHE chose for herself.

Looks like all the modern, cutting-edge eugenics in the world can’t beat the good old evolutionary pressure of being an all-warrior race in a setting where being good enough at kung-fu make you fly. Sorry, Kima—this time, the femme supreme is CHAYA of SAIYAN CONQUEROR QUEST, 17-to-7!

(Though we’ll have to see if Papa Karn can beat Grandpa Kinja’s record in the King of /qst/ tourney, once IG is done with the art…)

In the meantime, the Loser’s Bracket ain’t over yet! Ursus is back on the field, but this time he’s not battling a beast but a beauty—albeit one with a beastly bratty attitude and an inhuman dedication to perfection!

Yes, it’s PERSEPHONE CROSS! Though she defrosted for PATH OF THE EXORCIST’s main character Lucas, she’s normally just about icy enough to match a certain awakened bear’s elemental axe. She might not have a bite force of 975 PSI, but her commentary often is just as sharp as any fangs. She may not be Ursus artos, but she’s no stranger to cold climes, and she TOO is a warrior separated from—and searching for—a lost home. As a girl in the frosty far north, Persephone participated in a daring ritual to ascend to a spiritual plane-one which devastated her village, killing many and rocketing the rest—if they still live—into parts unknown to mortal men. Even after becoming an Exorcist for the state, her gaze remained fixed upon joining them, in perfect and unaging immortality, beyond the bounds of death!

First though, she’ll need to beat a brown bear in a fistfight, or at least a popularity contest. She has a magical moth-spirit for the former, and a pretty sultry demeanour for the latter, but we’ll have to see if either is enough for this uncooperative operative to match the might or valourous reputation of a proper team-player like Ursus.

While I personally agree with a certain anon’s assessment that Persephone and her quest (Path of the Exorcist, check it out on suptg TODAY!) are criminally underrated, the only thing that would be MORE criminal would be me looking at an 8/7 split and making it a tie. Ursus won this match-up fair and square… or should I say fair and BEAR?

(No, no I shouldn’t)

With that out of the way, and Persephone Cross left out in cold, it seems we have moved through all the initial match-ups and are officially in second round PROPER! We’re leading off with a couple old fogeys of prestigious peerage, two long-runners who somehow didn’t QUITE go the distance to the King & Queen tourneys proper, but who now will nevertheless go head to head…

I picked one from Ruby Quest Thread 3 and Do Your Best Quest thread 3, which I think look good and funny juxtaposed with one another. There are many pictures of Johnny in this thread.

Eleven to seven, the old guard defeats the new! Both those terms being quite relative, as by sheer historical relevance to our little forum, both these contenders were titans. Regardless, it’s RUBY who is hopping along to the next round, though Johnny Ando certainly did his very best.

Before we determine who will face off against her, though, we’ll pop over to the other bracket for a cyberpunk-and-solarpunk showdown A aspiring young mother known for testing inventions for the Helsinki Stormwatch will battle against a mother-of-four with a penchant for invention! An ongoing and gregarious outdoorswoman will face off against an anxious and indoorsy nerd!

Ah, yes the classic tomboy GF versus hikikomori GF dichotomy. A board staple!

Even WITH that one extra vote, though, the nine-seven split favours FIONA JARNAFELDT, the SOLARPUNK CLEANUP AGENT! Guess she’s earning that paycheque (and living quarters, and breeding ticket, and so on and so forth). The competition’s only going to get steep from here, though, as she enters the SEMI-FINALS!

On the bright side for Etsy fans like myself, she still gets a nice piece of art as a consolation prize. Thanks, Olympus QM!

As for our next match, well, you already know the contenders! One the one side: a brown bear with a magic axe, carrying on the legacy of humanity into an uncertain future! He cooks, he reads, he cares dearly for his friends and bringing justice to the land… It’s URSUS!

Facing off against him is non-other than the hard-luck kid herself: a fifth-year Hogwarts student with a lot to prove! As much as Ursus likes humans, this witchy wifelette likes animals—especially strange ones like her competitor! Armed with dark secrets and ark arts all her own, and with enough magical and martial training to put the fight to any animal aggressor, it’s ARTY PERTINGER!

It’s tough to imagine these two even fighting to begin with, but perhaps the question is who can win a contest of politesse and politeness, or of daring-do on behalf of that which they hold dear. One contestant may be easily eight or nine times the size of the other, but they BOTH have a lotta’ heart!

So, who’ll it be, /qst/?

Thirteen-to-five, Arty’s hopes stay alive! I wish we could say the same for poor Ursus, who certainly outperformed many expectations, but who has been felled in this face-off. Better-luck in the post-human future, buddy! When man and Wizard (and woman and witch) are dead, THEN will be your chance to shine! And hey, the internet is full of that silly man vs. bear meme, so maybe your time is closer than we think!

But, of course, there’s one more match-up to settle before the semi-finals begin… And it’s a doozy.

Atë is a ruthless manipulator, a god of disorder and discontent, and surely not one to be underestimated! Wherever she goes, her growing strength heralds misfortune for those who fall into her orbit—and I think that this tourney has attested to MANY an orbiter. That’s what you need in a popularity contest of this ilk, sometimes: a lot of admirers too wowed by her legs and abs (and sick character art) to remember not to stick their dick in crazy… or have the good sense to realize that this feisty pink-haired powerhouse would drink their tears and eat their suffering for sustenance before they’d ever even get the chance!

Chaya, meanwhile, may be badass with a checkered past, but she’s also unironically a supportive and aspirational figure—the sort of contestant who makes good-natured banter with her fellow contestants, until they push her too far. If anyone can push her buttons and activate her (ultra?) ego, it’s someone like her opponent, though: in many ways, the very antithesis of the more positive spin on parasocial interaction which this Saiyan celebrity represents!

Only one can advance to the semis, /qst/. Pick a side: we’re at war!

Closer than most, yet this contest still boasts a winner!, and with no need for a QM fiat! CHAYA of SAIYAN CONQUEROR QUEST crushes another contender in just the same way many of her fans probably wish she’s crush THEM! Congrats unto her, for she advances to the semi-finals.

We’re down to the wire now, in the home stretch. Before this thread falls off the board, we must have ourselves a head to host the Silver Crown of /QST/! And these two, well, they BOTH have their passionate fans clamoring for it to be one of them.

ARTY, lover of animals, is one more pitted against one. A cute bunny, no less! Can she overcome such an opponent? can she even bring herself to TRY? Granted, as a Hufflepuff, she might have an advantage: badgers EAT bunnies, don’t they?

(Not like that, you perverts.)

Meanwhile, RUBY must muster her might, and employ her expertise, to overcome yet another younger adversary. However, this isn’t just ANY opponent, but a much-loved one of the most popular quests of the current meta. Then again, have the odds being against her ever stopped her before? There’s a reason this bun is known as the OG!

Pick one, anons, and use a valid ID—I’ll be watching!

I decided to give Disappearing Hogwarts a try because of this tournament, and I have enjoyed it considerably in spite of not engaging with the series since book 6. No games, quests, fanfics etc. etc.

One of the anons in the thread called on everyone to show up today and vote. Understandable, Arty is a cute. So I’m here to vote.

What a startling upset! And there ARE those whom I’m sure such an outcome will upset, but I think we can all agree BOTH contestants are cute as the dickens, and well-deserving. Only one could advance one step closer to the crown, however, and with 70% of the vote, it seems it will be ARTEMIS PERTINGER, our FIRST FINALIST!

But who will she face in the clash for the silver crown?

CHAYA OF NEW SALDA has proved an unstoppable force so far, after VERY nearly making the cut for the queenly contest proper. Close at her heels though, chasing achievement like a woman driven, is FIONA JARNAFELDT OF HELSINKI’S STORMWATCH! Will the Super Saiyan ‘People’s Champion’ hold firm against such a ferocious force as a NATURAL blonde?

Who will advance to the finals, /qst/?

Disqualified votes aside, sixths was an incredibly close one, with a good turn-out! Obviously, people are passionate about both these femme fatales. We love to see it! 14-to-12, though, it seems AGENT FIONA JARNAFELDT has just barely pulled ahead to dethrone Chaya the Champ! A hearty round of applause is in order—that’s not an easy opponent to overcome.

However, there’s one more fight ahead of her before she can win the crown and become the PRINCESS OF /QST/!

If there’s one other character which generates a lot of chatter, and fanart, and appreciation, and more of that /qst/ passion, it has to be ARTEMIS PERTINGER! So it is that this final showdown of the thread will be a clash of popular picks: one sci-fi and one fantasy, from very different backgrounds and shaped by their respective world’s unique circumstances, as well as their own hardships and hurdles. Both are fierce woman warriors battling against mysterious dangerous forces—be it time-warping ancient Atlantean magic or mutagenic madness and the enigmatic and elusive rumours of Lost Hyperborea! Both are close to nature, skilled in their respective combat arts, and have the hunger of youth and the need to prove themselves for their own reasons.

And here, now, in this place, before our audience, ONE OF THEM WILL DO SO.

Who will it be? Who will wear the Consolation Coronet?

Will it be…

It was hard-fought and hard won, down to the wire in the end. A difference of three votes separated our finalists, 15-to-12. Some were deemed hags prematurely, others offered compensatory Burger King. Neither of these young women is a stranger to hardship, and I would like to think that they—like their fans, ideally—would handle a loss with grace, and with the same strength of spirit which carries them in their quests and has brought them so much appreciation on this weird and wonderful board.

But today, we crown a PRICNESS OF /QST?, the one and only troll-slaying sensation, the heartbreaker of Helsinki, the golden promise of our glorious post-collapse future… FIOOOONA JAAAARDNAFEEEEELDT!

I’d like to offer a quick congratulations to every QM who had their creations nominated, and a tanks to everyone who participated to make this thread what it was. Of course, there’s more yet to come—more art from Olympus QM which (ideally), if the thread is still up) will be posted here, and two more tournaments ahead in which to celebrate those who stand even over and above our champion here today.

Those tournaments, for the record, will start as soon as I have all twelve completed pieces for at least the one of them… So the Queens’ Tourney will probably start a bit before the Kings’, and we’ll keep rolling forward from there. Look forward to it! Make sure to come cheer on your faves!

Them comparing how horrible their worlds are on a deep level would be funny.

"Yeah we have these monsters..."

"Friends? Well they're also these untermensch, they don't get to live where real people do and-"

"So you mean like muggles? They don't even have rights over their children, you know. The Government doesn't even get that mad if a few die, unless it threatens the Statute of Secrecy! For a long time if a muggle and witch had a kid, they were in danger of being lynched. It's horrible!

"I don't know what a "muggle" is."

"YOU are a muggle!"

"I-we have to live in the pods and eat bugs and-

"Rape potions were legal till like 5 years ago. School kids bought them as a prank. Wizard Hitler was born from one."

"Okay, you win. Lets just enjoy the food before this nice dream ends. What did you say this was?"

"A hamburger! It's bread, beef, cheese, some veggies and condiments if you like. And this is a milk shake, it is like sloppy icecream you drink through a straw and is SO good. Muggles, no humans are amazing!"

"What is beef? I like it, but I am not sure what milk is or ice cream. We didn't go somewhere too high class, right? I can pay..."

"Oh... you poor girl. No, and its fine. Things are going to get better, alright? Now take a napkin and wipe your mouth off. Help me put my fold-y muggle paper crown hat on. We can go hang out in the kids area before we go back. I want them too you know. And if I can't... I like seeing them be happy."

"...Okay. Do you think I could push you on a swing for a bit? Sorry, that is dumb. You are an adult, if small..."

"No. Its not. I'm going to be the best mom I can be. You be the best you can be too, okay?"

She's an inspiration for Fiona but there's a lot of fundamental differences. The tl;dr is Don acts because she is brave and idealistic, and Fiona acts because she is desperate and goal-oriented.
Fiona is less immature and her contemplative side is far more out in the open, or at least this is far more visible to the players. Fiona tries looking on the bright side of things that are hard to justify after the fact, versus how Don has a set of values she wishes to aspire to and dies inside if she can't align with them. Rather than being a nerd for heroes so much that she tries to emulate them, Fiona didn't want to delude herself into thinking that being used as a weapon of the state is a good thing. Whereas Don wishes to maintain a status of fame, renown, and righteousness, Fiona is just goal oriented, and that goal is to get what she wants from her promotions and quit. "Fixing the system" hasn't even crossed Fiona's mind; she has seen that system eat people alive, and she is currently experiencing being the teeth that do it. She just wants to get in, get the bag, and get out.
But I can understand why you might think like that. Don was an inspiration, I liked the internal conflict, but I also used the art. Lots of people looked at the art and immediately made a lot of assumptions, which is the point of using any art at all in any quest, to quickly convey ideas without speaking. I meant to do that because art does a lot of legwork in establishing this understanding and just letting me tell the story I want to tell, but I worry that people didn't see past it and just played this tournament with their eyes alone. I hope people voted for characters, not just art.

Arty won in my heart. I think she earned it.

Welp, we almost got it. I wasn't as involved as I would have liked to be, but it was still fun seeing people react to it. Still can't believe Arty got the best out of Ruby.

Thanks for doing this, I'm sure it must have been a lot of work.

It was fun. Thanks for going through with this. Basilea might not have gone very far, but it was good seeing her get some support regardless.

Ayyyyye, GG for best Wagie

I read your quest and am still voting in it. I think Fiona deserved to make it as far as she did. Thank you for explaining the differences between Fiona and Don, and I hope others in the thread will bother to read it like I have

Aww. I read your thing, I just don't really vote often. I still like it.

Arty did a good job. Pretty fucking good for a person conceived as an NPC, we decided to waifu, and is a pretty large driving force in the quest now.
If Elliot dies and everyone else doesn't go with him I would play Arty Quest.

It's good to see that you're being gracious in your victory, but you need to give yourself some credit. It would've been one thing if she had lucked her way into the championship spot, but Fiona had to beat four different people, with some very strong contenders, so clearly, you're doing *something* right.

In the end, people will vote for whoever they vibe with-- just look at Ursus, who likely made it as far as he did out of 'bear' alone. I will admit that Fiona having Don as her fc likely contributed to her success, but at the same time, I'm sure you've got people who came from your quest to support them in this contest. People will vote for what they like. Heck, the entire reason I'm here is to rep the quest I like, with every other vote being secondary.

At any rate, this was a good, clean fight, where the best was put against the best, and the winner was decided purely by the hearts of the people, and I think that's fine. With 12 votes and having made it all the way to the finals, it's not like Arty was completely overlooked by any stretch of the imagination, either. She made it as far as she did on her own merits, just as Fiona did. Besides, Elliot still has a chance at victory in the King competition, so it's not like it's all over for them.

So have some pride in your win. Better to be a gracious winner than a winner who doesn't think they should be on the podium, eh? That's how I see it, anyway.

We're live, btw! While we wait for the kings' art from IG and the final few pieces for the honourable mentions from Olympus, I figured we might as well get a jump-start on the QUEEN OF /QST/ TOURNAMENT!

I forgot we still didn't do the winning queens yet, also you should've linked it. >>5997910

I believe in anons' ability to find the thread on their own. But yeah, I meant to, I was just very tired after staying up late to post it and I forgot to do so.

As thanks for doing it for me, have this Jezyrene Delyl, fresh off the presses!

Say, does Kiro have a tail?

Yes, you can see it on other art in the quest

Right you are! I see it now.

Art of these three will likely be appearing in the Queens thread, or Kings thread, since this one's about to fall off the board. keep an eye out for it!
