Thanks for looking over it, but I sorta thought about it some more and realized I was acting on a whim rather than seriously considering playing. I retract my request to join. Thank you though.

Your character is not literally a wav file or an audacity script or something

I am slightly disappointed but approve tentatively of this idea.

oh well, in my heart you will always be ree.flak

[Empiricist]

You're good now. Though I feel like you might be to blame for why the other sheets I'm seeing have also decided to dump all their points into a single attribute :p

-snip-

I'd still rather everything be reasonably humanoid rather than just having arms, again for looting purposes since if I say give people body armor or a golf cart, it's going to hard to use for a gun crab thing.

For the gun I'll just assume a balance between accuracy and power with about a semiautomatic rate of fire as the breakdown isn't specified.

Beyond the design of the bot itself, I'm fine with your sheet, though are you sure you want Large Glass Sphere to have that limitation? It's your only attack method so you'd have to not attack for three turns straight, which is a bit of a long time. Like it could work as a decent hail mary shot to open a fight with, but just making sure you're clear that it's probably not going to meet its requirements in an actual battle.

Another glass cannon following the Unix philosophy eh?

You're good save for needing to have a humanoid avatar.

Yeah re:that please do not mirror my build it is terrible and I will probably die immediately. I only did it because memes.

1: Why shouldn't I run a character which can make the holocaust look like a joke just by screeching?
2: Fixed.

Also, for an in depth explanatory video of what my character will be in practice, here you go

[Strider03]

Here's the sheet. Just tossed it together from one with more methods and attributes, so if anything references something else, just tell me and I'll go fix it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Starting Dancer.
Name: Dancer
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Appearance: A slight humanoid wearing a strangely patterned and patched robe. Its movements are fluid, and its face is covered by an obsidian mask inscribed with illegible white writing. Attempts to grab its cloak result in extremely small pieces of the robe breaking off, making it quite difficult to grab the dancer. This only occurs when someone tries to grab it, for unknown reasons if it snags on a bush, it will not instantly rip. The mask is solid and can still be grabbed, and there is of course a physical form beneath the robe.
Product: Pharmaceuticals

Quirk:
Dancing Queen: Dances and movement may still be performed perfectly when they would otherwise be impeded (injury, restraint, disorientation).

Attributes:
Interference: 5
Many of the Dancer's dances can have hypnotic effects on those who percieve them, enhanced by diverse but mild psychic attacks. The mask and robe add disorienting effects on top of these. Small pieces of the robe will break off if grabbed, or hit by even light attacks.

Dancing: 6
Complicated dances allow for dodging, physical attacks, and the application of interference effects, formidable speed allows for opening and closing distance as needed through dance

Survival: 3
The Dancer's speed and unpredictability, combined with some measure of pure physical resilience allows for enough durability to reliably start stacking up effects on enemies.


Methods:

Weaving lull [4]: A quick and simple dance adding disorienting effects and mild paralysis. Movements are slowed, and paralysis can be compounded by further attempts.

Fleeting star [3]: A quick and simple dance, exaggerating the Dancer's speed and confusion to dodge a difficult to dodge attack, or to increase the distance.

Hymn of loss [5]: A combination dance and song (no one is certain if it's actually vocally sung) performed following an attack. Injuries that should have been sustained from the attack appear to have disappeared. It is unknown whether the ritual heals them, or is simply the after effect of some ritual that already prevented the attack from landing.

[Empiricist]

-snip-

Looks good to me! Though, to be clear, is mentioning interference neccesary for survivability? Since you're already using it do dodge and deal damage, so I'm not sure if putting it there adds any new functionality in exchange for diluting the descriptor. As with the first test, your methodless dance effects will consist of adversarial systems that damage and disrupt foes more the harder they try to target you.

[Strider03]

Got it. Probably not necessary, I'll remove it

[Naturegirl1999]

Will this thread have a link to the IC thread?

[Empiricist]

Will this thread have a link to the IC thread?

Yes! I'll link the IC when it's out.

[Naturegirl1999]

Good, it will be interesting to watch and maybe join when the next mission comes out

[Powder Miner]

finally, the legend comes true
a sheet
from powder

Spoiler: Bogosort-chan (click to show/hide)

Name: Bogosort-chan
Appearance: Bogosort-chan looks like a fairly normal, if short human, white-skinned (usually -- it's not unknown for it to change color randomly if she's affected by something). Her hair is in pigtails which go down to her back, and is an eclectic, rainbow-colored mess, with patches of individual colors scattered with no rhyme or reason, which shifts into other random patterns every few seconds. Her clothes are surprisingly normal and mundane for an AI, as they just look like, well, what are normal clothes for humans, albeit clothes just chosen completely at random per mission. For Mission 0, she wore wearing a yellow sweater and a pair of jean shorts.
Product: Data Sorting
Quirk: Bogosort: Every post that is made with Bogosort-chan, whether in or out of combat, has a spoiler at the end with 5 numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. They are completely randomly arranged, and if they happen to be arranged in ascending order then Bogosort-chan gains a Quantum Bogosort Charge.

Bogosort can expend a Quantum Bogosort Charge to power up into Quantum Bogosort-chan, boosting her spell power and allowing her to choose her spells and targets.

Attributes: Bogo: 7: All of Bogosort-chan's Methods and spells are powerful, but the tradeoff for this is that all spells and all Methods have a target chosen randomly (within friendly spells choosing among friendly targets, and hostile spells choosing among hostile targets). Bogosort-chan's non-Method spells are limited to having the same effects as her Methods, but are naturally significantly less powerful. Further upgrades to this attribute will create more stipulations on randomness, but significantly increase Method and spell power.
sort: 3: This stat governs the effectiveness of Bogosort-chan's defense against Methods. While it is on the balance presently mediocre, the higher the value used to cast the Method Bogosort-chan is hit with, the more resistance she has against it.
-chan: 4: Bogosort-chan's durability against non-Method attacks and general mobility, both governed by this stat, are both fairly mediocre, but not nonexistent.

Methods: Check Validity [3]: This Method has Bogosort-chan cast a heal which directly affects the target, with them flashing green for a moment. It is more effective if the target does not have a negative condition currently affecting them.
Fireball Method v1.0 [4]: An extremely basic and likely very, very old attack method which does not appear to be native to Bogosort-chan like Check Validity and Value Rearrangement. This is, well, a fireball, but in extremely busy fights, its highly unoptimized processing becomes strained and its effect becomes increasingly unpredictable, for better or for worse.
Value Rearrangement [5]: Bogosort-chan attempts to directly damage a randomly-chosen one of the Attributes of the target, lowering its value numerically. This is a Line of Sight ability, with a brief, scrambling visual distortion around the target indicating its hit.

[IcyTea31]

PTW. If you end up running an open game, please inform me.

[Empiricist]

-snip-

I see that the O(infinity) runtime extends to sheet-making too

Jokes aside you're fine save that Value Rearrangement will impair some aspect of the attribute rather than being numerical, since y'know, no affecting mechanics and whatnot. Though I'd imagine that makes no difference to what you want anyways in practice.

PTW. If you end up running an open game, please inform me.

Understood. Hoping to open it after Mission 0, but well, you know how these things go - gotta make sure the test run doesn't crash and burn first.

[Screech9791]

Only 3 people got into the first mission. Is this intentional, or was there no easy way to balance it for all these accepted sheets within a reasonable amount of time?

Either way, spectating Hypochrondia will be interesting. Will the first smash and grab op be a success, or will it fail? Who knows.

Also late, but "It is the year who the fuck knows who the fuck cares." is the best one-liner to start a thread with.
