I vote Olao for maximum sneak-into-places/escape-from-things ability.

How exactly can Lumeras manipulate electric fields? What can they do with that power?

Lets go with Lumera.

>>326626
Primarily to sense the bioelectric fields of living creatures (though not magical constructs), deliver small shocks to things for various reasons, or light their bodies up like lightbulbs.

Oh derp I forgot to mention that Olao have very good hearing. Ears aren't just for show ya know.

Curelian and Lumara seem kind of hax, so...

Ezilot if it's a volcano setting and Olao if it's a fortress setting.

I, uh... Lumera, why not.

Lumera!

Lumera for great victory.

Hmm. I want to say Elizot for maximum 'smashing stuff' possibility, but we already have one of those, and it doesn't look likely to win, anyway.

Olao.

>>326618
Olao.

Lumera

Barring further information on sleeping habits etc that would make them terrible, I vote Olao for acrobatic ability.

Please enlighten us about this circadian rhythm issue.

Curelians have no control over changing, it relates to the air pressure. Complete achromatopsia is a big thing to get past. Lumera may heal fast, but they're still frail, and they can pass out if they shock something too hard, though they'll typically be aware of their own limits.

The quest WILL change based on choices here, so don't feel restricted.

Oh, everybody, from information I've gleaned from Rosque in IRC over the last two months or so, the quest is inspired mainly a vague feeling of loneliness and also Metroid, and will mainly consist of ruins exploring, and puzzles in said ruins, with a lack of focus on combat. I just thought this information would be useful for the vote.

If metroid then Olao definitely. Wall jump ftw.

Lumera sounds like it would be the loneliest thing to be...

Maybe I'm just pining after Ven.

Olao, for some flexibility action~

Here we go. This is almost entirely cosmetic, though it will have somewhat of an impact.

Male - May not actually wear a loincloth

Hermaphrodite - Far be it from me to restrict to 2

Female - The same as male, just with boobs

BLUE OYSTER CULT, ALL THE WAY.

>>326761
What does that even MEAN?

>>326760
Male because you have a female Olao in that other quest you don't update.

On the one hand, F looks so sad. Surely an adventure would help.

On the other, look at that dude. He has the look of a WINNER.

Voting for loincloth. M, that is.

>>326760
Too many female and herm characters recently. I vote M.

>>326760
Wait, male might actually win this.

So, uh, that.

>>326760
Girls have cooties. Male.

>>326767
girls have cooters. female.

Voting Blue Oyster Cult / Hermaphrodite

Male.

female.

I need more cowbell.

>>326764
>Too many female and herm characters recently.
I don't think there's been a hermaphrodite protagonist in a quest. Not saying there SHOULD be. Just saying.

>>326783
gobbo quest?
several other quests that I can't recall off the top of my head?

>>326784
All quest characters are secretly hermaphrodites. No exceptions.

Hermaphrodite. 8U

I'm going with Blue Oyster Cult

>>326760
Male or something.

>>326794
"Or something"?

>>326796
You're right. Lets go with the something Blue Oyster Cult it is!

Is 'hermaphrodite' here a broad category or specifically true hermaphroditism? If I can, I'm going to vote intersex, if not, male.

Girl with a cowbell wins. Standby for power selection.

We voted for Blue Öyster Cult, of course.

>>326810
at least it tisn't a blue waffle cult...

You know what? Im gonna vote for a Hermaphrodite.

btw, what the hell is this "Blue Oyster Cult" anyways?

>>326823
Awesome rock band formed in 1967 and still active today.

changing vote to herm

hermaphrodite!

GENDER VOTING IS OVER GUYS

So hermaphrodite? And we can contort ourselves, right?

MORPH BALL ENGAGE

I know voting is officially over, but I didn't get to vote the first time.

And you know what? There aren't enough herm characters on this board. They are sorely underrepresented. So I vote herm.

>>326837
True that. Also, Metroid is AWESOME. So I am very looking forward to this.

Ease up guys, it'll probably barely matter if it matters at all.

Also that is the most horrifying paper doll sequence I've ever seen.

You know, instead of selecting powers, I think actually you should just have all of them. Here's a quick rundown.

Telekinesis - Bread and butter. Provides force. Affecting more than one thing at a time is very difficult.

Enchant - Sticks magic in something to hold an effect. Adding symbols, markings, or other things related to the effect makes it stronger.

Draw - Recovers magic energy with time and effort.

Spirit Fire - Heals all manner of injury, proportional to the amount of energy used. Provides a small amount of light.

Generate - Creates matter. Rarely used, requires a very large amount of energy to make much of anything.

Sense - Gains intuitive knowledge of surrounding magic, enchanted objects, and immediate effects of using magic. Also enables seeing ghosts.

Associate - Links two things with each other, many effects will be passed along the link.

Shield - A barrier of magical energy, easy to make and proportional to power.

Adhere - Glues two objects together. Difficult to separate them.

That should be it, I'll go make the areas and stuff.

>You know, instead of selecting powers, I think actually you should just have all of them.
I wish life were more like this.

>>326869
Wait really

So we're some kind of massively powerful archmage?

>>326869
>giving us all the powers at the beginning
>described as vaguely similar to Metroid

Wait a minute... We aren't going to lose all of these after the first ten updates, are we?

>>326877
The abilities seem pretty narrow in focus.

>Associate - Links two things with each other, many effects will be passed along the link.
What kinds of effects?

>>326881
Gosh I hope so.

Having all these abilities is either going to be gamebreaking or most of them are going to feel useless.

>>326887
Ooor it's just a solid skillset. None of these seem particularly game breaking, and we presumably only have the energy to run one or two at a time.

>>326877
An accomplished spirit mage, but not much beyond that. These are the abilities all spirit mages should have, though they vary in strength, some might be better at some than others etc.

>>326887
You should've seen what I was GOING to let you choose...

>>326886
It really depends on how you link things, like, you could link a giant gear with a smaller one, then turn the smaller one to turn the larger one. It'll be far more difficult than just turning the smaller one, and far less difficult than turning the larger one. Think limited voodoo doll. Most enchantments also.

>>326889
Indeed, there's gonna be a magic meter and everything.

Even with all these powers, I hope we find new ones as we go in true metroid style. And we get fanservice for high completion.
