Welcome to Acatalepsy's third EMP/ATP meme! Our players suggested this meme as a way to advertise the game and toy around prior to our Test Drive Meme on March 24th. We won't be giving out the prompts ahead of time, but here's a fun clue! Some quick facts about Acatalepsy before we drive in! ✔️ Astoria is the game's main NPC! She is usually around during your time at the Temple. ✔️ The TDM always takes place in the Temple of Beginnings, the home-base of the Game! We will have several prompts available for the players to choose from. ✔️ Expect some light-hearted shenanigans for the TDM. ;) The last TDM can be found here! ✔️ Established characters will be at the Temple to greet the potential new characters. ✔️ the TDM threads are considered canon if the players so choose! ✔️ Acatalepsy has a 100 player cap. You may app/reserve one character per round. We currently have 52/100 players in game. ✔️ Reserves open March 24th at 9:00 PM EST. This time, our TDM and Reserves opening are happening on the same date to work with our latest world jump wrap-up, so keep an eye on our reserve page! ✔️ To avoid difficulties with player placement, there will be a reserve cap. This means that 48 new players will be allowed to reserve. ✔️ Returning players will not be affected by the reserve cap. ✔️ Acatalepsy has an eight (8) character cast cap. Here is our taken list! ✔️ Applications open April 1st at 9:00 PM EST and close April 5th at 11:59 PM EST. ✔️ Reserves will be given first priority. People who do not reserve can still apply in the case of more slots becoming available post AC (aka if all 48 reserves do not app), but will be considered after reserved applications are processed. ✔️ We have an every-other-month app cycle! ACATALEPSY 101 Acatalepsy is a plot-driven world-hopping RPG, in which characters travel from world to world through the powers of Astoria, the Head Witch of the Circle that your character has been drafted into. Your mission, should you choose to accept it? Save the universe. All magical items are nerfed upon arrival, but Astoria allows you to keep one (1) magical weapon/weapon. It may not work within the Temple of Beginnings, but it may work on your travels. Only time will tell. To make up for the lack of powers, your character is gifted an ability by Astoria herself. If you ask why? Astoria will simply smile and say, Because. ♥ . That gift can be anything from creating fire to creating spontaneous birthday cakes to rain from the sky for about an hour -- however, Astoria does not grant anything too game-breaking to her Circle members. She does, however, get creative in her gifts -- she likes to think she's funny. Every decision a character makes can change the course of the game, and Astoria keeps a watchful eye over those in her service. The universe is full of problems, troubles, war -- and your character, through their travels, has the opportunity to alter fate. Hang on tight. The universe, as Astoria likes to say, awaits. We also have a Settings Page and a FAQ if you need to catch your bearings!

PLEASE

EITHER ONE







I think Sheryl would probably be a little happier to see Klan because SOMEONE SHE KNOWS (And someone she can hide behind without feeling too guilty about it) but

we could also make canon some of those May'n/Junna duets

how would you handle klan sizeshifting Edit: YOU ANSWERED THAT NVM

[traumaplate]

they both have their points that make them tempting to app...I think the tdm is going to be the big decider for me tbh

[stuns]

:9 yes bee

[stuns]

god i can't believe juno's feelings are going to be weirdly Hurt that ren doesn't remember him

POSSIBLY APPING: two choices! either Hanamaru Kunikida from Love Live Sunshine or Cole from Dragon Age
TELL US MORE: HANAMARU is a cheerful country bumpkin sort of girl. She doesn't know how technology works, can only do one push-up, really fuckin loves food, and also loves books & being a school idol. She's got a little bit of self-esteem issues but that doesn't stop her from trying her hardest! She's a very good girl even if s2 of the anime did her so dirty.

COLE is weird. Basically, a spirit of compassion had an identity crisis. He's getting over that, but he still has to learn things like 'boundaries,' 'when to not use your infomoddy mind powers,' and 'not obliquely calling people out on their backstory.' Still, he's a good egg who's main focus is helping people. He is very good at stabbing and not good at staying alive (seriously Cole, this is why I don't bring you into battles)
POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? HANAMARU would get 'reading rainbow.' if she takes a look, it's in a book: Hanamaru has the ability to learn one fact a day, though the fact can only be learned while reading something. She can focus this magic if she wants to learn something specific.

COLE is one that I'm torn on. on the one hand, some baby version of his canon powers (empathy, telepathy) would be useful. on the other hand, I kind of want to give him something else that would be inconvenient to everybody else like a zone of truth sort of power. the main theme of his power will still be 'Cole finds some way to drag backstory out of people b/c he doesn't know tact' so hmu if you've got ideas!
ANYTHING ELSE? how bout one gif for each of them



I had to find a gif of Cole's stupidass hat just b/c words cannot describe how silly a hat it is.

enable... me....

POSSIBLY APPING: All Might / Toshinori Yagi from My Hero Academia (from joint learning arc ig, definitely post AfO)
TELL US MORE: Actual Anime Superman, but retired. Instead of kryptonite, his weakness is adopting children. Now just a skinny old man with massively busted up internal organs who teaches at superhero high school. Full of bullshit on a personal level, but like, wholesomely??
POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? this is what I'm stuck on rn lol, giving him super strength would be boring... current ideas:
- LASER EYES
- plant growing/manipulation bc the new generation of heroes is made up of little seeds
- summoning/shapeshifting into birds because the new generation of heroes is made up of little chicks and horikoshi was a Coward when designing Hawks
- leaping tall buildings in a single bound, then coughing up blood
- coughing up.... not blood??
- super strength but he remains skinny and dying
- idk
ANYTHING ELSE? he is Here, awkwardly

[juniberries]

please
plEASE
PLEASE

I LOVE ALL MIGHT-O.

and my vote goes for laser eyes because superman

but oh no him turning into.........a big buff bird........

[shootstyles]

I briefly had Maes interact with an All Might once and it was the best thing ever. Yes to more dads among the Circle!

POSSIBLY APPING: Hamel from the Violinist of Hameln manga.

TELL US MORE: Technically a world-saving hero but with a personality so awful you can easily mistake him for one of bad guys. Hamel is greedy, selfish and likes to abuse his powers for fun and profit. Has a hidden heart of gold somewhere, unless he already pawned it off.

POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? Idk honestly. Something stupid that can be also effecient with creative use.

ANYTHING ELSE? I briefly played Antigone Funn months ago, than Life happened. Now I've more time and Hamel's like, that one character I always come back to.

[verbaltic]

b/c I can only start with one and idk who to app first

[verbaltic]

mirai zura all over the place

[allpunchman]

what if i app him and you kill deku again

[shootstyles]

i'm not that cruel

probably

[allpunchman]

OBVIOUSLY A BUFF BIRD

like a rockhopper penguin but Swole

[allpunchman]

these dads have been passed down for generations!!

ENABLE ME!

POSSIBLY APPING: Steven Universe
TELL US MORE: Steven is half alien gem princess and half human. This mostly means that he has a sparkly pink gem where his bellybutton should be, and uses his magic powers to fight for love, liberty, and peace on Earth, alongside the rest of the Crystal Gems. Recently, that has mostly involved trying to convince the Diamond Authority (the rulers of all gem life) not to blow up Earth, and also to leave his family alone. Haven't totally decided on canon point, but it will be somewhere in the Diamond Days arc.

Steven himself is a empathetic, creative kid who has been forced to deal with a lot of BS at a pretty young age. He's risen to the challenge for the most part, and while it's obviously left some scars, he keeps moving forward and retains his enthusiastic and goofy personality.

POTENTIAL MAGICAL POWER? I have a few different options, though I'm leaning towards the first one:

1) Crystal constructs that are powered by feeeelings. Essentially, Elsa ice castle building magic except made of pink crystals, less ridiculous, and with durability dependent on his emotional state. Strong, focused, and determined emotion will make the crystal structures strong, while anxiety and doubt will cause it to become fragile.

2) Also possibly just doubling down on his astral projection power, because that's fun. He can essentially occupy people's dreams or try to possess their bodies, but that sort of thing is harder to make work in RP (and also he wouldn't be very inclined to use it for reasons other than communication.)

3) Fusion, which is a thing that happens in the show a lot. Essentially, Steven would fuse with other characters, resulting in a bigger and stronger combination of the two. That could be fun but would also be more complicated logistically.

[rougerebelle]

Powers can be difficult like that sometime...though I like where you're going with something that seems stupid but can actually be useful. I might also suggest something that acts/supports his greedy nature but somehow in turn also helps his friends/associates?

[rougerebelle]

STEVEN!

Yes, I like this plan. Bring a Steven :D

These are all amazing power creation possibilities though how are pink crystal palaces LESS ridiculous than icey crystal palaces?! I feel like 1 is the most flexible, though 3 could definitely be interesting since, for the most part, Steven would be fusing with humans other than Connie and I could see where that might have interesting possibilities. Especially if fusing with Steven gave them a boost in power or something?

It probably isn't as complicated as you think. I briefly played in a Steven Universe based game for a while and whenever we played a fusion character it was just a matter of collaborating on the dialogue and action so that both parties agreed about how it would play out. It was kinda fun really, especially coming up with appearance and personality as well :D You'd have some fun avenues to pursue, though of course this would be a power dependent on CR and I can see where that could be a little intimidating.

[wraithes]

I LOVE STEVEN

I also love the crystals constructed by feelings, idea!! It's a very Steven Universe power, hahaha.
