thinking about QC powers some more
Mrs Sheepie
mostly gil's, bc as the Adversary of Links his primary ability is to see the links between things in a literal fashion
Mrs Sheepie
so when he activates it he can see chains connecting people, with varying appearances based on their relationships/bonds/other strong links
Mrs Sheepie
and his other abilities all functionally revolve around that, but can be used in literal senses on actual real chains
Mrs Sheepie
good luck tying this boy up, in other words
Mrs Sheepie
and now i'm just wondering what shit actually looks like
Mrs Sheepie
the stronger a bond is, the thicker the links
Mrs Sheepie
True Bonds are gold, Conductor bonds are silver/white, hah
Mrs Sheepie
familial bonds are ruby chains, and that doesn't necessarily mean just blood relatives. good friends are orange/yellow, a distinctly different shade to TB
Mrs Sheepie
links where there's more than one major bond at play will be dominated by True Bond, if it exists between them, bc QC magic
Mrs Sheepie
but otherwise it'll just be a mixture of colours that grant's learned to identify from experience
Mrs Sheepie
rivals are navy blue
Mrs Sheepie
Spirit Companion links are probably like. rose gold? they're probably distinct in some way bc spirit companions are weird. maybe their links physically look different
Mrs Sheepie
The Zemblanity! i'm p sure i'm behaving within acceptable limits but let me know if i'm going overboard
Mrs Sheepie
or if you have suggestions bc i think being able to ride the links was a fucking fantastic one
Mrs Sheepie
i did ask already if grant can feel gil's and i'm so glad the answer is yes, he just can't see them bc that has potential for shenanigans
Mrs Sheepie
bc he has close CR that's not infiltrating that he can just, like
Mrs Sheepie
trip over the links to
Sleepy Deer
That sounds pretty close to stuff that Kanji's done in the past. Might want to check with Sleepy
Mrs Sheepie
which part?
The Zemblanity!
the coloration is all kosher. one note will be that the Bond between Conductors and Tesserae is the same color as between Conductor and Conductor
The Zemblanity!
a bond created by a Sanction would be a leaden grey
Mrs Sheepie
nice nice nice
The Zemblanity!
also that the Conductor bond will always be the thickest bond a conductor possesses, and Conductor bonds to non-Conductors will be visible on the non-Conductor side but not visible on the Conductor side
Mrs Sheepie
oooooh
Sleepy Deer
Specifically the visible bonds between people part and affecting people's relationships with those bonds.
nonhoration
another pin for the board
Mrs Sheepie
grant's primary powerset isn't emotional manipulation which is the route my brain automatically takes re: affecting relationships it's using the links he can see as physical assets. which i can see is not well-described in how i've been explaining his powers so far!
Mrs Sheepie
any adverse affects he puts in place, eg muting, displacing, swapping, all last for like. a minute tops
Cerise ♢
Yup, that's how it worked for Champion!Kanji. He didn't use them as physical objects, though... Just used razor wire threads and nets as weapons, so that's out of archetype here.
Cerise ♢
He had the colours change depending on specific connections and the colours he associated with that person, though.
Mrs Sheepie
nice! adv!gil doesn't weaponise his, as such, he uses them as environmental factors and the colour association is entirely dependent on the relationship type, not the emotions of the people involved
Cerise ♢
Nice. Kan will wish he'd thought of that. XD As it is, he did get frustrated by calling the threads up and seeing his links looking weak compared to others... They weren't an always on thing.
Mrs Sheepie
GIl hasn't got any True Bonds in this overlay, i think, but he
Mrs Sheepie
he doesn't expect people to WANT to, haha, he knows his reputation
Mrs Sheepie
even as a Champ Gil's weapons were like. meteor hammers again. using chains to wrap around objects and swing them around like a wrecking ball. he didn't get to explore them much bc he was only a champion for one literal day
Cerise ♢
Awww.
Mrs Sheepie
he doesn't mind
Cerise ♢
And again, Kan says true bonds are overhyped. ;-)
Mrs Sheepie
i feel like he and gil's overlay will get along well :3
Cerise ♢
It's not the type of connection that's important, it's the feelings.
Mrs Sheepie
i like that as a crucial difference in how their powers work, it's neat
Cerise ♢
Yes! It's nice to have that contrast. (And yeah, he might try and go 'look up that big purple rock over there, I know you're wary of Oracles but he knows this shit.)
Cerise ♢
Kan didn't keep his Champion stuff when he Adversary'd out, but he definitely remembers it. Might have to find an excuse for why his archetype changed so much. XD
Mrs Sheepie
(CAN'T BE TRUSTED, HOW DO THEY KNOW THIS SHIT FOR SURE)
Mrs Sheepie
i don't know if gil started as Links here or if it ended up being a natural progression from like. Hooks or Chains
Cerise ♢
Makes sense. :-)
Cerise ♢
('cause it's their job? XD But he gets it.)
Mrs Sheepie
(they have secrets and he intends to find out)
