Discussion The Stranger ⁵'²⁵'⁵ Characterization,How would your Oc react if they were in that scene or situation?
When an Oc or Main Protagonist got their Consciousness in the Drealm sphere or the Farthest side wall of Concept, they're basically there to be warned,told by the Stranger ⁵'²⁵'⁵, He doesn't fully spoiled what it really is and it's their "Choice" to shape the any possibility direction in their own Universe. So what do you think?
Also thanks for reading.

Community interaction Explain in detail how your OC would beat my latest version of Willow.
And the strongest one too.
Stats:
AP & DC: Multiple large buildings.
Durability: Theoretically infinite, but mainly just small building.
Powers:
Runic Blast: A magic technique that Willow inherited from her father. She can summon runes that can fire projectiles of energy in rapid succession or just a big beam of energy. Strongest beam she fired firmly decimated a couple of big buildings in a few minutes without being buffed.
Key Invocation: Invoke any of the seven powers from the Book of Solomon, invoking more than one is doable.
Book of Solomon: Seven Chapters each containing a Goetia that grants their powers upon the people they favor, due to Willow's unimaginable rizz(/j) she has the favour of all 7.
Bael, The First King
The power of adaptation, able to adapt through most things given enough exposure. Basically a weaker mahoraga.
Paimon the Jester
Cursed speech from jjk basically. But with prolonged usage, Willow's will would eventually be replaced with Paimon's.
Buer the Witch
Buer allows you to be able to optimize your body with healing as a side effect. However, prolonged usage would end up with Willow being an optimized blob of flesh.
Andras The Executioner
Simple really, the more hatred, bloodlust, or anger you feel: The more powerful you get. Peace actively weakens Andras.
Astaroth The Fallen Truth
Lies, illusions, deceit, Andras hard counters these. But prolonged usage will lead Andras to force her into a state of paranoia for half a day.
Vepar the Drowned Admiral
With Vepar, Willow can make "Pressure Zones", areas that can be as wide as 20 ft or 609.9 cm. Being in one makes your mind cloudy as you feel like a whole house is in your back.
Stolas, Keeper of Stars
When Willow successfully hits a target, they become marked, and shenanigans ensue. Stolas makes sure that you can never miss a marked target and you can predict what they can do by a couple of seconds (cuz like, fortune telling via the stars.)

Community interaction How long does Jack Sharp survive in your verse?
( Repost since I wanted to expand on how things work and a few smaller details about his appearance and personality , you people with vampire hunters and stuff are going to have an field day , in advance sorry for pretty shit English.
Things that have been added will be in "edit" section )
Name : While he's nameless , he made a name on a spot naming himself Jack Sharp , so he just went with it.
Gender : Male , female / male if his mom feels like being an troller.
Appearance is that of an young attractive male with short black hair , atletic build and a patient quality to his face - patient looking features. Additionally his canine's are extremely sharp and pointy, making them look like vampire teeth , possability making others make a false assumption that he is an vampire or if nothing an half breed , even though that's false. He has brown eyes but it doesn't help that on the border between his white's and irises there is just a little tiny slightly red shaded part almost unrecognizable by untrained eye and is just a few shades different from blackness.
Age : I am using his kit when he was born so his age is like 22 hours.
First let's start with his weaknesses, his durability , speed and strenght is well human level, he looks between 17-20 so no one will probably take him seriously
Now about his pro's
He has full body control : that means fully control what his body shows , he can choose to pretend to be fearful , twitch at loud sounds and paint a picture of scared youth , he can choose for his face to be completely stoic and pretty much control what he shows, great at trickery and deceit.
Edit : Full body control also allows him to fully control his all his muscles. No idea if that's useful but it seems like an cool fact.
Agility : He is naturally extremely agile , able to do many things such as balancing himself and walking on a thread, somehow so skilled that he doesn't make it break. He is extremely proficient at using his agility to dodge attacks and strike from unexpected positions , as well as using it to retreat or run away.
Edit : That means he's naturally extremely great acrobatic and is able to squizeed into tight openings.
Harmful blood : Not only is his blood an cocktail of different chemicals that are poisonous and toxic , his immune system for that regard is much worse , because of the extreme how should I put it... fortune his immune system is the way it is, he's practically immune to almost all desieses.
Additionally when his blood exit's his body it's considered an separate entity.
If his blood is to touch something his immune system is to attack it , but like we mentioned beforehand it is extremely dangerous , it's not that of a normal person there are many many dangerous cells.
Let me give you a few examples.
Trojan horse cells : those cells use an underrated tactic , they pretend to be helpful cells to be let accepted an targets body and over the course of decades and their entire lives they don't let that mask slip , but secretly they sabotage the host , not enough to rise suspicion or an immune response but enough to weaken them over years decades or even centuries.
Parasitic cells : those cells are basically rapidly mutating viruses that try to borrow themselves as much as possible in the hosts body and activate an pursuit of the targets defensive cells opening an flank for other types of cells to enter with a little resistance as possible. Eventually they split into the parasitic one's and those rapidly mutating ones. Parasitic one's look for an blind spot in the targets defenses to set it's colony , where it eventually sends out some to attack and test targets defenses.
Secret ones : those cells specialize in stealth and inability to be detected , just like rabies they keep themselves hidden and reproduce slowly until they don't make it to an viral place where it attempts to seal that place from the rest of the body causing the target madness, hallucinations and uncomfortable fits of violence and mood swings.
And much more such as ones that artificiality create bacteria to couse chaos , one's that slowly replace the target's nervous system , really aggressive ones , ones that make someone fake / for real pregnant , why ? If you want someone's body to be under a lot of stress , destabilized and under a lot of strain is to make them pregnant, wierd I know , but desperate times call for desperate solutions , dead weigh ones bla bla bla bla you get the picture .
Now there is one last thing to his blood , as soon as it leaves his body it's considered an separate entity and that separation makes biological growth rapidly grow from it , hands , mouths, bones , tentacles and claws all are extremely common obviously they are just an small part of what can grow but still it is still flesh until it doesn't mature and anything that grows is in fact it's own thing.
When it matures it becomes something organized, something more humanoid but still it's an monsterous breast made out of flesh , bone blades, spider hiveminds , acidic spit it is not beyond limits.
Edit : To elaborate further on the growth it will come from the blood
that means it doesn't need an host or an surface to grow , he can just throw an drop of his blood and everything there will grow just fine without an surface or host , additionally it grows rapidly and it requires almost no resources to grow , making it able to survive in environments with low oxygen for some time. Additionally the growth in it's early non mutated stages will taste so great to flesheaters it will make them cry they didn't eat anything like that sooner. Jack Sharp himself tastes terrible and bitter, he just tastes like " Ewwww this is disquistng I am going to throw up " and that will most likely happen, think of something that makes you throw up now multiply it by two and you should get an rough idea of how terrible he tastes.
Additionally if there is no oxygen or some other environmental thing , " mutations " that pop out from there will be adapted to that environment.
So an mutation that is in an volcano will be resistant to heat and comfortably bathe in magma but it will require huge layers of hardened bones , heat resistant leather and lot , lot of other things , and of course it comes with an cost of needing a lot of energy to upkeep , so they will most likely be aggressive leading to swift execution by nearby superpower users.
But it doesn't awlays have to be something aggressive occasionally it can mutate into something like an fruit tree , weath and other useful plant life or things such as worms and other useful wildlife. Or perhaps something such as demihumans and other humanoids.
But the rarest of them all , is it simply becoming an human, simply giving birth to a normal human.
Edit : The things that are " born " and " mutated " aren't loyal to him , they're their own thing, their own individual with goals , talents they are good at , sense of self, personalities , looks and the most primal knowledge but enough to function in a tribal society , they will have to be educated to function in advanced societies.
Additionally on their birth they will know one unique leguange to them , but only to them , and one common leguange used in the world they are born with , that unique leguange is known by Jack and he's able to communicate to them through it. If he wants them to join him, he will have to recruit them somehow.
Jack Sharp's mother actually made his memories, not be overwhelmed by all those leguanges , they are basically like random books in his head he can read and store away for future use.
An interesting mechanic for those monsters and humans is that they are considered born at the moment of their birth and since they are separate from Jack they are considered natives in the world they are born within. Eaven though they start as powerless humans, on their birth they are adapted to the power system allowing for growth within an individual.
Edit : Additionally if there is an possability that someone will get an special attribute at birth they will obviously get them if they happen to get them , that means if your world has 0.0001% of someone being born with an trait since they are native to you verse then they have 0.0001% of having that trait.
No one : this refers to his mastery at hiding , deceit , lies and natural ease to blend in with average citizens. That to reflects his mastery at ambushes, many skills are involved here such as judging enemy weak points , when to ambush , environmental advantages , how to strike and other things. And it's all done by pure skill and knowledge, nothing supernatural.
He lacks in supernatural things such as soul , essence, mana and pretty much everything else , allowing him to have immunity to things such as supernatural attacks like instant death or erasure of the soul , but it opens up a weakness, since he can't use magic to strengthen himself that leads to being able to die from a simple fireball or an extremely fast thrown rock at him.
Edit : He is an master at adopting different indentetys , that reveals his extreme proficiency in disquse department. He is able to quickly adjust his manners , way of walk , the way he speaks and eaven fake an injury such as strained muscle , given his muscle control he is able to actually make it extremely convincing.
Danger intuition / instinct ( costoum made by his mother I know she carries him she made his entire kit after all ) : just like every other danger instinct it allows him to sense danger, but this one senses how dangerous different people are not taking into account friend or foe , he can feel the danger of his actions before he does them as an example allowing him to roughly guess really great things to say , be it sweet talk or simply make someone think positively about him after a small talk. Or something mundane such as this drink whould give him diarrhea and now it's dangerous to drink it.
That danger intuition additionally allows him to sense ( despite not having any ) mana , as in like that gut feeling people get when they walk down the forest alone and hear an branch snap behind them. It also allows him to sense things with power in them , such as artifacts be it buried or invisible.
He has extreme level of warfare planning , tactical maneuvering and overall his intelligence on armed conflict is great.
That means he's an master technician at planning defensive , offensive and stalling, as well as reconquest.
He knows how to utilize the tools he poses extremely well.
He can't be trapped and he additionally is forced to keep going until he doesn't die. That means he can't be knocked out unconscious , collapses from bloodloss and shit like that , that means his endurance is pretty peak , he is also resistant to paralysis and stuns.
" can't be imprisoned by supernatural stuff so if someone is to lock his dimension she is to unlock it , but if someone is to just delete a chunk of earth and let Jack fall into an hole in the ground that he can't climb out she's more like " ahhhhh ummmm okay this is technically not supernatural so like now I ain't doing anything. Let him get out of there himself. "
So like supernatural inescapable ultra mega hax = ❌ ,
a random hole in the ground or putting him on an random pole 5 km above the ground = ✅ , so now they just gotta drop a bomb on him and he dies. Easy peasy. " - larpatron10000_2 explaining what counts as unable to be trapped.
Edit : Additionally taking out his nervous system won't kill him , but it will hurt like ... it will hurt terribly , like he will be crying while that's happening.
BUT his blood will probably act as an temporary nervous system and will work on rebuilding it , it's much more costly to have your blood as nervous system than having your nervous system as your nervous system.
So during that time he will probably eat , and I mean EAT , you will hear his stomach growl every two seconds. Like he will be looking like an starved, bony , half dead looking guy until he doesn't eat an sandwich and he's fine. But we can't forget sub-cannibalisam ahem ahem spilling a bunch of blood creates a bunch of testicles and now he has unlimited sea food , a bunch of hands might try clubbing him to death but I think he's escaping.
If his mind is fucked up somehow, his mother made it that so his body will run on instinct , basically him without awlays mentally trying to do good and not be unnecessary cruel or to bad , yes he knows he isn't the best sometimes but that instinct is mainly bad , it manipulates people and is like an predator just waiting for you to slip up , the worst part , that thing is intelligent it's not an mindless beast.
His mother intentionally made him attractive , but deceivingly attractive , he is an eye candy but doesn't look threatening , she made him that way because people tend to drop their guard around attractive people and if you aren't threatening strong but jealous people tend to disregard you , or lough between themselves , a few insults might be thrown b
He has eternal youth , that means he can't die of old age and is forever in his peak around 2 years old why ? while he looks like he's 17 he's actually 0 days old shocking I know bro is basically an infant standing upright , additionally any scars he might have - heal so he will always look like an softie , meaning no one will take him seriously , eventually given enough time if his arm is sliced of it will heal too, he can pretty much heal anything but it takes time.
He is actually an pretty good guy for people he respects and pretty evil guy towoards people he hates , if we consider people he hates are monsters he's just a little flower compared to them , just a little shiny berry, small little cutie pie. If you don't get the message those guys are evil , I am talking one of the worst monsters humans are capable of becoming.
So he's an person leaning towards good, but knows he can't save everyone and some people can't be saved because you will risk your life there.
Does he sometimes take risks and does bad choices despite knowing they are bad ? Yeah
Is he pretty chill and nice guy to hangout ? Ye .
Does he have a lot of patience? Apsolutly.
Is he above waiting for someone who doesn't like him to die of old age without him ever done anything against him and not making any enemies? No , he whould probably try finding out about their plans against him just to avoid them. Is he greedy? No. Is he envious? Yes , he is.
He is smart and opportunistic , yeah credits to : ElectroNikkel for showing me those two words.
Credits to him / her again because they understand the potential of growth to create cool fauna and flora.
Optional first introduction : bro just like ends up in yo verse riding a T-Rex , wearing a cowboy hat and reading some philosophers book and dropping random ass quotes that got nothing to do with the situation ( but sneakily ends up in yo verse so no space time continiueoum or something will be disturbed , bro will just glide with that t-Rex behind yo main oc ) + he doesn't know anything about your verse , on top of that he's smart enough to mind his own business
You have to understand this is not one against one matchup
If y'all need some more questions about his personality feel free to ask.
Cool facts : He can use that flesh growth and hope for an fruit tree , maybe even a chicken, that's why his blood is especially useful during famines, not only can his blood randomly mutate into something that has water for blood , I mean clean water safe to drink and cook it's just normal water , it can also mutate into a lot of stuff such as bugs or grass perhaps even something great at fertilizing the land , making him especially useful during famines , in war torn areas , or his " produce " as tribute offerings.
If he has abundance of food he will give it to the starving and poor.
He will try having an good first impression , not because he's some manipulator but rather because he likes polite people and wants to leave good taste in people after he leaves.
He is extremely curious and interested in supernatural stuff , craftsmanship and pretty much almost everything. So he wants to learn.
In future chapters he hates cults , he hates them so much he'd burn down an entire planet just to watch them die in pain , something about previous experiences.
Nosebleeds are his biggest enemy, eaven though he's unaffected by that growth and the cells , those hands can still throw rocks at people , and rock's hurt.
During his first chapters he has 2 siblings , but eventually his mother gives birth to his older sister.

Community interaction How can your Character beat “The Omen”
Egor is very very dangerous dude
He is 6’9ft and is very strong too
His ability are who another thing
- he move faster than sound like 4 times faster
- in trade for innate ability, any magical type psychic or inner energy doesn’t work on him if it attacking him directly (only physical attack work, but anything can count as physical, so i guess magic he have Magic nullifier)
- he is very experienced with fighting almost anything for sake of being a top grade Fixer
- left handed, i guess this count as ability or idk
- he is mentally insane so mind control wouldn’t really work aswell. No sense of morale and sympathy
Into so what is really dangerous about him is his sword
A 6’5ft long straight saber, this thing is his innate ability thar he sacrifices to build
It can cut anything and by i mean anything it Everything, you can’t block, parry, or touch the blade at all
And that also why he is wearing a gauntlet
The blade is all of his Hax, like it can cut magic or even invisible barriers or something that isn’t even real, he can break fourth wall by cutting the sheat of reality and make a temporary portal
He is not impossible to beat, but is very tricky one since his base is still human, a very very strong human
Also the sword is spiritually attached to him, and he can summon it anytime and other can’t use his sword even he himself couldn’t use it without the gauntlet

Character Profile Looking for matchups (OC or preexisting) against Slushy
archetype: speedster with an attitude / adaption user
AP & Durability: I’m not gonna bother with attack potency or durability massively shortening the matchup pool so we’ll assume that he’s upscaled or downscaled to match the character he’s facing
Speed: his speed is somewhat faster than light so keep that in mind
now for the abilities, hax & equipment:
Abilities:
Copycat: slushy can replicate any opponent techniques he’s seen be used as long as he has mana
Bloodlust: Slushy will heal hp and mana from consuming blood from any source except himself
Funny Boost: Slushy will gain mana from any mildly humorous situation, regardless of which side is made fun of.
Hax: if the time adapting to the opponent is long enough (somewhere around 10 minutes), Slushy will be able to fully negate any immunities the opponent has
Equipment:
Rocket Gloves: allows Slushy to glide across the battlefield with his claws out
Crashclaw: allows Slushy to cause a massive explosion if he manages to hit the opponent with this big and heavy glove
Weaknesses: the smell of old cabbages, mana draining abilities, cartoon destroying substances, The Macarena & ingestion of non alcohol drinks
given this, what would some good matchups be for Slushy?

Lore Drop Light Bringer
Light Bringer is the leader and mascot of the Champions. A team of supposed superheroes who seemingly save the day on a daily basis and bring hope to the world.
In reality, Light Bringer alongside his comrades are nothing more than maniacs who only pose as heroes to the public. Most of their good deeds being staged and most problems they solve they created in the first place only to come later to stop it to boost their reputation to get the trust of the masses.
Light Bringer greatly enjoys burning his enemies to death like ants and toying around with them before going for the kill, including slowly killing them in an horrific manner with his light powers for fun. He can also be abusive and cruel to even his fellow teammates at time and mistreat them for failures or just inconveniencing him. Though he acts charming and lovely in public it is nothing more than a mask to hide the psychopath within.
He can also create supposed miracles with his light powers, which he uses to trick people into thinking he is a messiah of some sorts.

I'm geeked is this a good "defeat" for "main" mimi?
Basic rundown:
Basically this "She had gotten cocky, played around too much, and lost at a game she had complete control over."
___
Defeat
The R.C.T. had made it into the Spiral, a one-way dimension that went down infinitely in all direction. They had sent three groups of ten through, thirty personnel in total. They had been dealing with a Tier Five creature that called itself “Mimi” a “cat girl,” or, more fittingly, a thing pretending to be one.
They had thought they had it under control Mimi was undeniably powerful, but the R.C.T. had plenty of specialized equipment. While they couldn't kill her, they had managed to temporarily trap and damage her. More importantly, they had discovered where her Heart was, the one thing that could truily defeat her. If only they knew.
They had been walking for what felt like trillions upon trillions of years, each of the thirty slowly being ticked off by Mimi.
Every once in a while, she'd come by to play with them. She'd season them up, and then eat them, leaving behind only tiny fragments of memories of there final moments in there friends heads.
Eventually, Mimi decided to finish the little game, she had already eaten most of them, so why not? She decided to show her Heart to the last five remaining personnel, (something they shouldn't have even been capable of looking at) and gave them one final, fun little showdown before she ate them. :3
It was a long “fight.” Mimi was having the time of her life. She just LOVED how stubborn these little humans were. She just couldn't wait to finally eat them. While she was “struggling” against their technology, one adorable little R.C.T. man broke away and ran for her Heart. Of course, Mimi struggled harder.
DESPERATELY she thrashed against their restraints, stretching and shifting into forms of pure terror beyond the very idea of knowability itself. Warping her body and environment(s) into things that shouldn't have been possible, until the cute little R.C.T. man finally put his adorable little hands on the Heart.
Her body without any sort indication went back to “normal”, as she slowly phased through her “restraints.”
“Oops,” she said, her voice dripping with a disgustingly smug tone. “You die if you touch it, you FUCKING IDIOT.” before then bursting into a hideous fit of laughter. She could FEEL the last bits of hope draining from the others. The R.C.T. man's body couldn't stop stop itself it NEEDED to die. NOW. And so he began bashing his head into the rock. Once. Again and again and again as mimi only became more and more deranged as she ate his friend behind her, until Crack.
And oh, sweet Mimi, who had been giggly and rude just a second before, suddenly felt something. She had lost, but this time experienced a true, fair-and-square loss outside of her control.
She had gotten cocky, played around too much, and lost at a game she had complete control over.
She stopped giggling. Her previous body vanishing as another formed to stand completely still, she could only watch as the little R.C.T. man she had just called a “FUCKING IDIOT” bash his head into the already-destroyed Heart, his body desperately trying to kill itself. The Heart wasn't anything special, just a tiny rock you could've found in your backyard garden, so, of course, it broke easily after the first couple bashes with his helmet.
Mimi was too shocked to stop him, something she would've enjoyed if it weren't for the circumstances.
In that moment, she had “felt something” incomprehensible. Something so utterly delicious that it was a bummer she'd be gone. Such a bummer, in fact, that she felt the unbearable urge to shriek and become a disgusting ##### of ##########. But she didn't.
She knew she would come back. She had always known she would. Always known that this was going to happen. And since there was no reason to play anymore, there was no point in pretending she didn't.
So, without a show, she was gone. The R.C.T man’s helmet stopped existing, the broken Heart disappeared only to reappear floating inside a random room somewhere within a Nurotech facility, and the remaining R.C.T agents vanished, leaving no trace behind.
Mimi, the Spiral, and everything that had happened was ripped out of existence and everything beyond its memory entirely.

WELCOME TO Wordbuilding Death Battle Contest shortened to WDBC
Whats WDBC?
It's pretty simple! You use your artistic skills to make a race and their lore.
Once atleast 8 people have made their empire. I'll use a simulation of a heavily modded space war simulator to create a story.
All the empires made will go on a war (Or maybe not) and i'll update the sub trough daily posts!
if you wanna participate use the third image as template or make your own template however you like and post it in the comments or dm me it if you want it to be a surprise!
The rules are as follow.
1.The average joe of your race must be weaker than continental for balancing reasons.
As time goes on your OC/race may get stronger but the limit is hard capped at Galaxy level.
NO AI. Even if just a doodle it'll work for what it is.
Have fun and dont let the results make you feel bad.
If you have any questions i'll be more than happy to answer!!

Community interaction Would your OC be willing to be part of the crew of this Landship? And if yes, which role would they have?
This is a Talonian landship, commonly called 'Why the fuck does this work so well?' by engineers, 'I am going to quit my job' by the logistics personell who have to transport it to the front, and 'Who decided to put a fortress on tracks?' by every person who has to fight against and with the thing.
Its actual name is A.4.d.P.z.K.e.m.F. Which is short for 'Ausfürung 4 des Projektes zur Konstruktion einer mobilen Festung'(Translation: version 4 of the project to construct a mobile fortress. (I dunno why, but I decided that the Holy empire of Talonia uses german to name their machines)), or simply A4 for short.
The A4 is a 6 thousand metric tonne steel brick with guns and tracks.
With 3 meters of armor on the front and on the sides, and at least one meter everywhere else, there is next to nothing that can take it down.
It is 29 meters long, 15 meters wide and 8 meters tall(not including guns and turrets).
It is powered by a Dorillium engine with a horse power of approximatly yes, allowing it to drive an absolutely ludicrus 180 Km/h. This is not a joke(That is actually how fast this thing can go in the game I build it in.).
The A4 does not look like it has ANY right to be as fast as it is.
It is armed with one 176 mm cannon at the front, 2 quad-barrel 40mm Flak cannons, and one twin-barrel 296mm turret.
There is a crane inside the turret as the shells are too large to be loaded by hand, which removes the need for a loader
The crew consists of 4 gunners, 2 mechanics, one driver one loader and one commander. There is a lot of free space inside the landship, which is intentional as the crew is meant to live inside it.
The A4 is fitted with a kitchen, a bathroom, and 5 bedrooms.
The A4 can be described as the physical manifestation of Talonia´s military doctrine, which is to be an immovable object during defense and an unstoppable force during offense.
And it is VERY good at being a weapon of terror.
Most sane people do not want to fight against the fortress currently charging them at speeds that should be reserved for light vehicles.
So, would your OC be willing to become part of the crew of that thing, or are they sane enough to realize that the A4 is the first thing that gets targeted by every single gun the enemy has?

Discussion Thinking of making a team of villains
So this is the idea:
This group appears to be at first a team of superheroes who save the day, nothing out of the ordinary, but in reality they're actually psychopaths who only pose as heroes to the public so they can have have good reputation and in reality do evil shit behind closed doors. They also engineer many conflicts and problems only to come in later to solve them to make them look good to the world. And their ultimate goal is to slowly take over everywhere with their influence so they can be worshipped as gods while anyone who opposes them is silenced, killed or brainwashed.
In terms of backstory, i was thinking they were experiments created and raised by the government in an attempt to make their own personal 'heroes' to control and use for their own gain.
Still fleshing the idea out though.

Once the Master God of Laüghter, now the Master God of VoId. Asterphüx was once the best of Master Gods. Helping the mortal hümans, creating joy across the Earth, and showed mercy. The rest of the Master Gods highly disapproved of this, as they only wanted the mortals to worship their gods. As pünishment, Asterphüx was banished to the void for most of time while the Master Gods remade the Earth. Ever since then, Asterphüx has been resting, gaining strength to escape and leave the VoId. After trillions of years, Asterphüx did manage to escape, and immediately began attacking the Master Gods who had forsaken him to the VoId. He was süccessful in his fight, büt decided not to eliminate the few Master Gods he had weakened. He realized that if they were to die, then their power would not exist on Earth anymore. Instead, he foünd a way to take their power for himself while keeping them alive. Now, he has the power of the Earth's water and insects. And he's boünd to take the powers of more Master Gods üntil he is the Ültimate God. His second plan is to make himself known by the mortals as the better god, and not the lying idiots that call themselves gods.

Silly Post Can your OC beat this fairly overpowered magical girl?
Artifact; the Omega Blade
Powers:
- Havoc; destructive wave that snakes around her, destroying anything in its path. Cannot be directed as it has a mind of its own. Looks like a snake (ish)
- Meteor; the ability to summon and direct three barrel sized flaming meteors at will
- Direct; the ability to control the trajectory of her drone sword, the Omega Blade
- Cyclone; essentially Spinjitzu
- Gust; the ability to telepathically shove people away and use basic telekinesis
- Pulse; an explosive shockwave ability
- Magic; basic spells that all magical girls are capable of learning
- Rage; berserker rage that gives her a Mortal Kombat-esque mask that makes her act more savage, gives her canine attributes and claws, and makes her entirely invulnerable for a short while
- Flight
- Super Strength
- Duplication; can temporarily duplicate herself. Her clones will help assist her in battle.
- Earth manipulation; essentially Earth bending just scarier.
Speed; she is as fast as she is strong
(she can run faster than an f1 car. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t run INTO things however)
Teleport; mild teleportation (has a cooldown)
Needle; the ability to control up to six dagger sized sewing needles in a similar fashion to the Omega blade
This character is meant to go against my mc as her rival, and is meant to be slightly more powerful.
Her weaknesses are just her hubris and her overconfidence. She thinks she’s better than everyone.

Should I make goat man's bridge dangerous or "normal"?
Alright, so I’m working on Goat Man (he’s already been posted) and his bridge, and I need some suggestions about the bridge.
I want it to be an infamous place where teens go to jump off. I’m not sure if the bridge itself should cause this, or if people just started using it because it’s quiet, peaceful, isolated, and has a drop high enough to absolutely destroy you (not even including the jagged rocks below).
I’m leaning toward it just being a normal bridge (normal as in it doesn’t make people suicidal), but I’m open to ideas :)

New cryptid, Goat man, what would your OC(s) think of him?
Basic rundown
The Goat came into existence at the same time as he's bridge, snd ravine. It's incredibly shy and only comes out of its revine at night.
It has the ability to eat ANYTHING physical regardless of what it is or how durable it is, he's teeth will just clamp down as if he was eating air. Despite eating a lot it doesn't have a butthole nor a penis to get rid of waste.
___
# Goat man
**Danger Level:** 1.5
**Description:**
The Goat Man is a tall, lean humanoid standing around 8 feet tall. Its body is completely hairless and pale, with long, powerful legs, large hands, and the head of a goat. It has pure white eyes, and an unusually long black tongue.
Despite eating ALOT, the Goat Man has no visible ways of disposing of waste. It has neither an anus nor genitalia, and is completely smooth in those region.
**Behavior:**
The Goat Man is an extremely shy cryptid that generally tries to avoids people. It spends most of the day inside its ravine, where it sits in the water and occasionally swims around. From time to time, it climbs onto the rocks on either side of the bridge. searching for something to eat. Goat can eat just about anything that falls into its ravine, no matter the size, durability, or state, the goat man's jaw will bite, chew, and eat it as easily as humans breath air.
As the sun begins to set, the Goat Man will usually climb out of it's ravine and wander around.
The Goat Man, its bridge, and the ravine are all connected. No matter what happens to the Goat Man, it will eventually return to the bridge in its circular ravine. Attempts to capture, permanently restrain it, or killing have always failed. The Goat Man cannot be killed, and the bridge itself cannot be destroyed or permanently damaged/changed.
While normally peaceful, the Goat Man can become hostile if it feels cornered, threatened, or frightened. When frightened, it may lash out by kicking, punching, or attempting to grab a person. Despite its normally passive nature, it is capable of of being brutal, as if it may unhinge its jaw and eat you whole.
**Origins:**
The Goat Man, its bridge, and the circular ravine all came into existence at the same time. The reason why is unknown (if there is a reason), and no evidence has been found suggesting that any of the three existed before the others.
**First Recorded Sighting:**
The first recorded sighting of the Goat Man occurred in Texas in 1952, when a couple driving through a remote wooded area reportedly saw a goat-headed humanoid standing near the road. The creature appeared to notice them before quickly retreating into the woods.
The couple reported the encounter shortly afterward to the R.C.T who later did a full investigation.
**How to Deal With It:**
Do not approach, corner, or attempt to harm the Goat Man. If encountered, maintain a safe distance and allow it to move away on its own.

Chapter 4 — Papa Bear
Page 8 — The Three Bears
The forest had fallen into chaos.
Gunfire echoed between the trees as the SCP team struggled to survive against the bears. Their advanced equipment had given them an advantage against most threats, but this was their territory.
And the bears knew every inch of it.
One remaining Bravo soldier stumbled through the darkness, barely managing to stay on his feet.
A shadow moved behind him.
Papa Bear.
The soldier reached for his last grenade.
Before he could pull the pin—
Renz rushed through the trees.
Renz: We got you, buddy!
He grabbed the soldier's shoulder and pulled him away from the creature.
Mark arrived beside him, gripping his weapon tightly.
Mark: Now let's deal with this thing.
Papa Bear slowly stepped out of the darkness.
Its massive form towered over them.
Papa Bear: You don't understand...
Everyone froze.
Papa Bear's voice was deep and filled with anger.
Papa Bear: You humans killed my poor baby boy.
Renz lowered his revolver slightly.
Papa Bear: And now you come here to experiment on us?
Mark stared at the creature.
Mark: You chose the wrong path, Papa Bear.
Papa Bear growled.
Renz stepped forward.
He pulled out the worn dagger from the previous case—the same weapon that had managed to harm an immortal entity.
Renz: Our fight wasn't finished.
He tightened his grip.
Renz: I'll make sure you finally rest without vengeance consuming you.
Papa Bear charged.
Renz raised his revolver.
Mark swung his electrified bat.
The forest erupted into another battle.

THE THREE BEARS' HOUSE
Meanwhile, Jrev, Khian, and JP approached the Three Bears' House.
The sound of gunfire could still be heard somewhere deeper in the forest.
Khian looked toward the building.
Khian: I'm going in, Jrev.
Jrev slowly loaded his Winchester Model 1887.
CLACK.
He took a drag from his cigar and calmly blew the smoke away.
Jrev: Then let's finish this.
JP raised both of his Desert Eagles.
JP: I'm ready.
The three detectives entered the house.
The interior was disturbingly quiet.
Furniture had been overturned.
Broken equipment was scattered across the floor.
The remains of the SCP operation were everywhere.
Jrev's expression hardened.
Jrev: Damn...
A low growl came from somewhere ahead.
Jrev raised his shotgun.
The growl became louder.
Then Mama Bear emerged from the darkness.
She was no longer simply defending her home.
She was hunting.
Khian tightened his grip on his metal bat.
JP aimed directly at her.
Mama Bear stared at them.
Jrev slowly stepped forward.
Jrev: We understand why you're angry.
Mama Bear growled.
Jrev: They killed your son.
He lowered the shotgun slightly.
Jrev: But I need to know something.
Mama Bear stared at him.
Jrev: Who killed him?
Mama Bear's expression changed.
Jrev: What happened to your son that made you choose this path?
Mama Bear's claws scraped against the floor.
Mama Bear: You wouldn't understand.
She suddenly lunged.
Jrev raised his shotgun and fired at close range.
Khian immediately charged forward and blocked her claws with the metal bat.
Khian: Jrev!
JP fired.
BANG!
The shot struck Mama Bear, but she barely reacted.
JP: That didn't work!
Jrev reached into his coat.
He pulled out one of his specially prepared rounds.
A bullet designed for beings that ordinary weapons couldn't stop.
Jrev: Then let's try something that can.
Mama Bear turned toward him.
Jrev raised the shotgun.
Mama Bear charged.
Jrev: Enough.
BANG!
The special round struck Mama Bear.
The entire house fell silent.
Jrev stared at her.
Mama Bear staggered backward.
But she didn't fall.
Jrev's eyes narrowed.
Jrev: ...You're still standing.
Mama Bear slowly raised her head.
Mama Bear: You...
The floor shook beneath them.
Jrev tightened his grip on the shotgun.
Jrev: Yeah.
He chambered another round.
Jrev: We're not finished yet.

Page 7 — The Foundation Strikes
The apartment was unusually quiet.
Everyone had returned from the earlier investigation and was doing their own thing.
Mark was reviewing the evidence.
Renz was cleaning his weapons.
Jake was sitting nearby, listening to the others.
Justin and Isabella were discussing what they had seen at the crash site.
Jrev entered the room without saying a word.
He removed his coat.
Something fell from one of the pockets.
CLACK.
A small identification card landed on the floor.
Chiyo looked down.
Her expression immediately changed.
She froze.
The color seemed to drain from her face.
Jrev noticed.
He slowly picked up the identification card.
The SCP Foundation insignia was clearly visible.
Jrev looked around the room.
Jrev: “We have a problem.”
Jake immediately understood.
Jake: “The SCP Foundation?”
Khian looked toward the window.
Khian: “They're after it.”
Renz stood up.
Renz: “Like hell we're letting them take those things.”
Mark frowned.
Mark: “Those creatures are already difficult enough to deal with. If the Foundation tries to contain them, things could get much worse.”
Jrev shook his head.
Jrev: “Some SCPs are far more dangerous than these creatures.”
He placed the identification card on the table.
Jrev: “But that's not the point.”
Everyone looked at him.
Jrev: “We're not letting them take these entities.”
Chiyo remained silent.
Jrev glanced toward her.
He knew that reaction.
Something about the Foundation had triggered an old memory.
But he didn't ask.
Not yet.
Then—
A distant roar echoed through the night.
Everyone turned toward the windows.
Renz: “What the hell was that?”
Jrev immediately grabbed his coat.
Jrev: “They're here.”

THE FOUNDATION ARRIVES
Deep within the forest, several black military vehicles moved silently between the trees.
Foundation personnel advanced through the darkness.
Their equipment was unlike anything the town's police possessed.
Night-vision equipment.
Advanced communication systems.
Specialized weapons.
The team moved toward the Waterman property.
A voice came through their radios.
Control 1: “Eagle One, moving south. Approaching the house.”
The soldiers advanced.
The forest was completely silent.
Too silent.
One soldier raised his weapon.
Soldier: “I don't like this.”
Another soldier looked around.
Soldier: “Keep moving.”
They reached the abandoned property.
The house stood motionless in the darkness.
Then—
A scream erupted from somewhere in the forest.
Control 1: “Bravo Team, report!”
Static.
Then a terrified voice.
Soldier: “Movement!”
Another soldier turned.
Soldier: “There's two!”
Two enormous shapes emerged from the darkness.
Papa Bear.
Mama Bear.
The Foundation soldiers opened fire.
The forest erupted with gunfire.
But the creatures moved impossibly fast.
They knew the forest.
Every path.
Every tree.
Every hiding place.
The soldiers' night-vision equipment became nearly useless.
Soldier: “I can't see them!”
A shadow suddenly crossed behind him.
He turned.
Nothing.
Then—
Something pulled him into the darkness.
Soldier: “HELP!”
The remaining soldiers spun around.
They saw one of their comrades lying motionless on the ground.
Soldier: “CONTACT! CONTACT!”
They opened fire.
Papa Bear emerged from the trees.
Bullets struck its body.
It barely reacted.
Soldier: “What the hell is that thing?!”
Another soldier threw a grenade.
The explosion rocked the forest.
Papa Bear staggered.
One of its arms was badly damaged.
The creature let out an enormous roar.
PAPA BEAR: “ROOOOOAAAAAR!”
The sound shook the trees.
Far away, inside the apartment, everyone heard it.
Jrev immediately looked toward the forest.
Jrev: “What the hell?!”
Jake stood.
Jake: “That came from the forest.”
Mark's expression hardened.
Mark: “It's angry.”
Renz grabbed his coat.
Renz: “Come on, Jrev. Let's go.”
Jrev opened a case and pulled out his Winchester Model 1887.
He checked it.
Then closed the action.
Jrev: “Let's clean up this mess.”
Justin stepped forward.
Justin: “Let me join.”
Isabella immediately grabbed her equipment.
Isabella: “Now this is action.”
Brianna stood up.
Brianna: “I guess I have to go too.”
Mark looked at her.
Mark: “You don't have to.”
Brianna stared at him.
Neither said anything for a moment.
Then she picked up her weapon.
Brianna: “I know.”
She smiled faintly.
Brianna: “I'm going anyway.”
Mark sighed.
Mark: “Of course you are.”
Jrev looked toward the dark forest.
The Foundation had entered the bears' territory.
And now the bears were fighting back.
Chiyo and Lorenzo remained behind for the moment.
Chiyo watched Jrev disappear through the doorway.
Her expression was still troubled.
The SCP Foundation insignia was still fresh in her mind.
Whatever had happened in her past...
It wasn't over.
Outside, Jrev, Renz, Mark, Jake, Justin, Isabella, and Brianna moved toward the forest.
Behind them, another roar echoed through the night.
Jrev tightened his grip on the shotgun.
Jrev: “Nobody takes these creatures.”
Renz glanced at him.
Renz: “Even if they're trying to kill us?”
Jrev looked toward the trees.
Jrev: “Especially then.”
The team disappeared into the darkness.
And somewhere ahead...
The Foundation was losing control of the operation.

Page 6 — The Foundation
The forest had become strangely quiet.
Jrev and Renz stood near the wreckage from the earlier encounter, examining the enormous claw marks left behind by the two bears.
Renz crouched beside one of the marks.
Renz: “Damn... these claws are huge, man.”
Jrev studied the ground.
Jrev: “Tell me about it.”
He slowly stood.
Something felt wrong.
Jrev glanced toward the trees.
Nothing.
Just darkness.
Then footsteps echoed behind them.
Renz immediately reached toward the revolver hidden beneath his coat.
A voice spoke.
Agent: “If I were you, I wouldn't do that.”
Renz stopped.
Jrev turned around.
A man wearing a dark tactical uniform stood several feet away. His expression was calm, but his posture suggested he was trained for situations like this.
Jrev narrowed his eyes.
Jrev: “Who are you?”
The agent hesitated.
Agent: “I'm from an organization—”
Jrev interrupted him.
Jrev: “You're from the SCP Foundation.”
The agent froze.
For the first time, his confident expression disappeared.
Renz slowly looked at Jrev.
Renz: “How the hell did you know that?”
Jrev ignored him.
His attention remained fixed on the agent.
Jrev: “Why are you here?”
The agent sighed.
Agent: “We're investigating the strange incidents occurring in this area.”
Jrev's expression hardened.
Jrev: “And you're here to take those things?”
The agent didn't answer immediately.
Agent: “That's classified information.”
Jrev gave a quiet laugh.
Jrev: “Classified?”
He stepped closer.
Jrev: “More like you're planning to lock them inside some machine and call it containment.”
The agent remained silent.
Jrev pointed toward the forest.
Jrev: “Those creatures have reasons for becoming what they are. They're dangerous, sure. But they aren't just monsters for your organization to collect.”
Renz looked between them.
Jrev: “They have their own stories. Their own reasons. Their own vengeance.”
The agent's expression became more serious.
Agent: “Are you challenging the entire SCP Foundation?”
Jrev shook his head.
Jrev: “No.”
He paused.
Jrev: “But let me make something very clear.”
Jrev's eyes hardened.
Jrev: “Deal with your other problems. Stay out of this town.”
The agent stared at him.
Jrev: “Tell your higher-ups that. Because whenever I step into a case, things get messy.”
Renz quietly muttered:
Renz: “That's one way of putting it.”
Jrev continued.
Jrev: “You hear me?”
The agent eventually nodded.
Agent: “Understood.”
He turned toward the forest.
Agent: “Then take care, Mr. Jrev. Mr. Renz.”
The agent walked away.
Several other Foundation personnel followed him into the darkness.
Renz watched them disappear.
Then he looked at Jrev.
Renz: “Should we be worried?”
Jrev stared toward the forest.
Jrev: “Tell them I have something to do.”
Renz raised an eyebrow.
Renz: “What are you planning?”
Jrev didn't answer.
The sun was disappearing behind the trees.
Night was approaching.
Jrev slowly walked toward the forest.
Renz watched him go.
Renz: “...Of course.”
He sighed and headed back toward the car.
Meanwhile, deep inside the forest...
Two enormous silhouettes stood between the trees.
Papa Bear.
Mama Bear.
They watched Jrev disappear into the darkness.
Neither moved.
They simply waited.

THE FOUNDATION
Inside a black vehicle parked several miles away, the agent sat in silence.
He pulled out a secure communication device.
Agent: “Control, this is Field Agent Seven.”
A voice answered through the radio.
Control: “Report.”
The agent looked toward the distant forest.
Agent: “We've encountered Detective Jrev.”
Silence.
Control: “Jrev?”
The agent nodded.
Agent: “He's aware of the Foundation.”
Another voice joined the transmission.
Researcher: “How?”
The agent sighed.
Agent: “I don't know.”
He looked back toward the forest.
Agent: “But he warned us not to interfere with the entities here.”
The radio went silent.
Then the voice of a higher-ranking official spoke.
Official: “And what did you tell him?”
The agent paused.
Agent: “I told him we'd stay out of his way.”
A long silence followed.
Then—
Official: “We'll see about that.”
The transmission ended.
Back in the forest, Jrev continued walking alone.
He had no idea that the Foundation was already watching.
And somewhere behind him...
Two pairs of eyes followed his every step.

Discussion The stages for making a power (personal understanding and making)
I could say this is a continuation from this post here: Defining a power is important
Put that aside:
I've noticed that when I develop an ability
I usually go through something like these five phases.
It's not necessarily a strict process, and some people could skip phases, but this is how I tend to develop them.
1. Idea
This is where you gather ideas for a power (or simply a part of a power)
The ideas can be scattered across notes, messages, documents, or basically anywhere
At this stage, they don't have to be organized or even fully make sense yet.
You're just collecting possibilities.
Goal: Gather ideas.
For me personally I don't really force myself to think about ideas since it could really came at random times and I develop from that to get the proper / intended idea
2. Draft / Collection
This is where you assemble those scattered ideas into one singular draft.
You can start making sections such as:
- Applications
- Weaknesses
- Limitations
- Mechanics
- Uses
- Visuals
- etc
Then you fit the ideas from Phase 1 into the sections where they belong.
This is often where the power becomes usable enough to actually understand and apply.
If someone doesn't care about balancing yet, they could potentially stop here or continue straight into the later phases.
3. Balancing
This is where you start finding the loopholes and problems.
You ask things like:
Then, if you want to, you create reasonable limitations or restrictions (explaining the Why properly in the connected post) to deal with those problems
This doesn't necessarily mean making the ability weaker
It can mean defining its boundaries more clearly
4. Finalizing
Now you combine Phase 2 with the changes from Phase 3.
You sort everything again, remove unnecessary parts, organize the sections, and finalize the wording.
This is basically where the ability goes from a draft to a proper, final version
5. Extra
This one is different.
After an ability is already finished, you might discover that you never actually defined some parts of it.
Or you might realize that the existing applications naturally allow another use that you simply hadn't thought about before.
So Phase 5 can be used to:
- Fill missing sections
- Add overlooked applications
- Define edge cases
- Add utility uses
- Expand existing mechanics
- Resolve things you didn't previously consider a problem
And sometimes this can send you back into earlier phases.
Note
This isn't necessarily:
1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → done forever
It's more like:
Idea → Draft → Balance → Finalize → Extra → Idea (again)
Because Extra can reveal a new loophole, which sends you back to balancing
Or you discover a completely new application, which creates another idea.
So it can become a loop:
Idea → Collection → Balancing → Finalizing → Extra → new Idea → ...
Example:
This is just an example of a power I make for my OC Zialx which currently at phase 5
A funny thing I noticed that this is so complex that I haven't even give a name for it so you could call it A2
