I went with the second, though that one feels to be two as well? I just picked everything after the OR if that was the cut off im leaning towards this one, unless we can make something closer to the "honey pot" angle Id love to step up a relationship! anyone want to know a little extra about ramona?

The Relationship step-ups are one-sided when they're picked. For instance, Missy might have a d4 relationship with Ramona while Ramona has a d10 for her relationship with Missy. It also seems to be less 'how well' you know someone and more 'how invested' you are in the dynamic. So you can kind of follow your heart here . Maybe one of us shady people you've been investigating have made you particularly interested or you spied us doing something that really makes your blood boil? Maybe you're really loyal as a partner or have history, so your relationship with Mr. Kay is the one you step up first?

I added the rules for "Growth" and the "Growth Pool" to the Rules Reference. This should give you an idea of why you want to take Stress and challenge your Value and Relationship statements. It's the way you add dice to your "Growth Pool", which is what you use at the end of the session to add or step up Relationships, Distinctions, Abilities, and Resources and grow your character.

Mechanically, when you try to do anything in the game, you won't roll Ability + Skill to see if you're strong and skilled enough to succeed, you'll roll Value + Relationship to see why your relationship and the things you believe are important enough to make you succeed. So your two most important traits to increase are Relationships and Values. You start with all the Value at d4 and a relationship with every other PC at d4. Die ratings "Step Up" from d4 to d6 to d8 to d10 to d12. Values will be automatically stepped up throughout the process, but you will need to choose to increase your Relationships over Abilities and Distinctions (a catch

@DreamsnThings - start with Step 1 in Pathways. You have a square representing you on the Miro board and a circle representing your first related NPC. Add your character name to the square and your NPC name to the circle and then click on the line linking them and add your relationship to the NPC. Add all the other PCs to the Relationship section of your character sheet at d4 rating as below d4 Alicia von Vulf d4 Edmund Blackwood d4 Kojo Amankona d4 Millie Gearhart d4 Missy Fisher Add your NPC from the Miro board to the Relationships section of your character sheet at d4 rating just like the other PCs.

thematically I thnk prodigy fits best, trying to look through origin and im... honestly blanking hard on what everything means on the prodigy screen

so the basis for the character that i have is that she was abandoned by her parents as a child but was found by the organization she now works for, she was trained to be a beautiful rose whos thorns were more numorous than any other and laced with whatever toxin it took to get the job done. shes in this town to trace down the supply of this new ore, and has allready gotten some of the best minds in her organization to incorporate it into the aphrosol (aphrodisiac parasol) which is the tool im focusing a lot of her equipment's value on. she is acompanied by Kay, a scientist and chemist acting as a pharmacist in a little unassuming drug store t

Well it seems like you have a bit of an idea about your character yes? Pick a name and pick a look and then head on over to rules reference to find the info you need. You can just copy the profile and paste it over in characters to alter while you work your way through and alter the sheet as you go and then head down to the pathways system which is the guided creation system we've been going through which should help with what you need to focus on, ask about, and talk about in chat. It'll also tell you what to put up in the miro map but definitely get your character idea solid to make following the steps easier to follow and the questio

Emily could not help herself. As Magda came apart under her, hips rising and the feral sounds of pleasure accompanying every roll of Emily's wrist, the pilot leaned down into the kiss her captain arched up to take. The warmth of their thighs sliding against each other, sweat and discreet silicone making the hot flesh glide, urged Emily closer, until every upward push of Magda's body met hers in a counterpoint of explosive contact. The two fingers stretching her backdoor sent a hot, gasping groan out of Emily's throat, her lips coming off Magda's to let out the encouraging sound while her eyelids half closed in a tremble matching the con

Jumi thought about it a bit more. A Magical Girl’s source of power. A gift from a goddess. Common sense did not necessarily apply to such an item. She thought out loud. A random thought that may or may not be true. “Maybe she is wearing it in the tube….or maybe it is part of her now?” Absorbed into her body? By the goddess’ power, or something else? When? She was wearing it while they were having sex, wasn’t she? One thing she would not take off, not risk losing, especially with Reika present. Was it during the tentacles? The goddess protecting it? The sword protecting itself?….Mitsuko protecting it? Did Mitsuko draw it into he

Nall found the request strange but upon explanation, it started making sense. Hearing that Mitsuko was naked was not a surprise anymore with these girls but perhaps what he felt about her was why he did not mind. Something Mitsuko reminded him of. He did not waste too much time and closed his eyes, his wings apparently flapping on their own to keep him in the air. A small light surrounded him for a moment as he did that. "I can't feel it it anywhere nearby anymore but it's odd, it's like it's gone. Lenneth can't have taken it, though. She tried before but that girl fought her back. If she is in a machine, it might stop me from feeling it.", h

Jumi thought of something as Nall spoke. “Can you feel the presence of the sword? Tell if it is with Mitsuko? She is in a machine. A tube filled with liquid, mask with tubes to breathe. It sounds like she will be in there for sone days, maybe a week. She had no clothes, but I did not look closely for the sword, and it was only a short view. Shinigami asked about it, but I could not answer. It sounds like though, if she has the sword in there, it might influence the healing. Not make it faster, but maybe some other positive side effect. Both Shinigami and Reika implied I might like what I see when she is back, but did not give detail

Nall listened, came closer and shut his mouth for now but as Jumi started going in the juice stuff quickly enough, he found himself gasping at first to straight look terrified when he heard the news of their friend just being gone. He was doing a monumental effort then to not say something but just stayed frozen, staring, watching and most importantly, listening. And if that was not enough, the story was not going on a better path, as it seemed. Reika had invaded Jumi's dream afterwards and fought? But then, the fairy calmly explained that something peaceful had happened between them. Still, the girl he was entrust with to protect was gone, a

Yes. Mao would make him suspicious of course. But then Jumi saw Umi off in the distance, it looked like Mao was willing to give the message instead. Which gave her a moment to talk to just him. She gestured for him to stay close, not chase her. “She isn’t a threat. Stay here, I have to tell you something important. Just let me say it all, you can ask questions when I am done…a lot happened last night.” She sighed and prepared to go over what seemed most important. “Me and Mitsuko were alone for a while, while I’m guessing you were with Shinigami and Umi. After a while, that girl…her name turns out to be Reika, showed up. Tried to t

Shinigami simply took the kiss and remained laid on the bed on her own, her tail swayed gently while she relaxed. At least the small time that they have had together had went rather well. Some issues still needed to be cleared up with Reika having Mitsuko but if Jumi was right, they would get news of that later. For now, she would wait while the two others left the room. A call was given out but Mao stayed floating near her, having no idea who she referred to if not maybe that strangely winged cat like creature. Nall came out to answer the call, seemingly having waited not far from the room to speak to one of them as soon as possible. His eye

“Maybe after I’m back and you finish with Umi then.” She suggested, not sure if they would go very far tonight, especially as she waited for Reika’s punishment session, which might or might not be tonight. But they could give each other sone attention when they were alone again. It also depended on what Shinigami and Umi did, she hoped Umi would enjoy it, if they did more than research. She gave Shinigami a soft kiss before turning to the door. “If I see Umi, I’ll tell her you’re still here. Otherwise, I’m sure it won’t be much longer.” She said, a little wave as she stepped out of the room, and then the building. “Nall, are you nearb

Shinigami melted a bit before Jumi, who figured her out quicker than she realized herself. A light pout on her face but otherwise, a kiss on her forehead while her tail wagged a bit behind herself. The two girls were driving her into being more and more tame, at least when it came to them and their friends. Even without Mitsuko being there, she could guess what that girl would think of what Jumi said. "I did and I look forward to it... But for you, I'll be glad to feed you again, if you wish...", she told the fairy. Something about her even asking for more was cute and the feeling of the feeding itself was otherwise a pretty good experience.

Jumi softly laughed a bit, liking this side of Shinigami. In a way she was submissive towards her now, in subtle ways, but better than that, the warmth between them now. Jumi was not just some human to Shinigami anymore, not someone protecting out of obligation or anything like that. No, there were feelings there. Which made her happy, whatever they were precisely. But the laugh had a more specific reason. “You thought of that too hmm? Me and Mitsuko, side by side, each drinking from a different breast, together? You had that image in your head? I was going to wait until Mitsuko was back to suggest it. But I had the idea too, and I’m

Shinigami didn't question Jumi's methods, letting her searching however she liked and so, she only nodded. As long as she was not alone to leave the temple, things should be fine. If she brought both familiars, she might get help while keeping an eye on them. For the next part, the fairy's teasing words made even the fox blush a bit. "Meal...", she shortly said before she realized Jumi spoke of the milk, "Well... You know my body recovers quickly. I don't know what it can do to you, though. I don't mean what power I share to you when you drink from me and from a kiss. Besides...", she started, looking away a bit, "I hoped that Mitsuko might h

She should have looked closer. Jumi had not considered it, expected Mitsuko to be put in completely naked. But after how Reika talked about using the machine to create Shinigami, she did have to wonder whether it would have an effect or whether Reika realized it before putting her in. But then she had also talked about some strangeness with Mitsuko before going in the machine. Especially how the tentacles treated her. Was there already something about Mitsuko no one, including herself, was aware of? “I may or may not be gone a while, depending on how quickly answers come, but I’ll be back by evening. Probably see if I can get the r

Shinigami frowned lightly. She knew she saw the girl with it once or twice in the manor, even once during sex, hanging at her neck. She was not thinking about it back then. "If she had it on her neck when she was put inside, this might turn interesting... If you don't know of what I talk about then I doubt you have noticed anything out of place but... To answer you, I only remember little myself. A loud sound or a different way for Reika to behave. Floating inside that tank, you don't hear much but a muffled sound from outside. She is the first human I woke up to and she claimed to be my mother, Death. When I was finally out, I think every si

Mitsuko’s sword? Could that be used with the healing? Have some impact with the result? “Dammit, I did not think about the sword. She did not mention it. I did not see it, but she might have had it somewhere out of sight.” Did Shinigami have some idea of what Reika was implying? Or had she thought of something that even Reika had not considered? “You have a much better idea of what is normal with that machine than me, I’ve never seen anything like it. I only had a short look too, of her putting Mitsuko in and starting it up. What would you consider normal?” The easiest thing would be to try to compare what Shinigami described to th

The most important thing was both expected and at the same time, surprising to hear. "She used the life tank on Mitsuko. So this is what she was planning... Did she have that sword relic with her? Did you see it or anything odd with the machine when she showed it to you?", Shinigami asked with a calm voice but still pressed, having a certain feeling. Ignoring what their conversation really was about, she had to ask to make sure of something based on what she was told now. "That sly girl is ignoring all the rules to play her own game...", she commented, starting to understand what Reika meant, based on what Jumi reported her saying anyway. "I

Jumi said the most important thing first. “She showed me where Mitsuko is. In a machine. Healing. Days, week. She could not answer how long it will take, but it won’t be soon. She said strange things, that I did not really understand. Suggested something unexpected happening there. Not bad things, as far as I can figure, claimed I would be happy with what I saw when she’s back, but beyond that, I don’t know what to expect, except that she will be brought back to us when it is over.” Shinigami seemed uneasy. Better to keep explaining. “I don’t consider her a friend. But I am willing to give her a chance, set aside my fears and susp

Shinigami listened, not without a bit of concern after learning that Reika, surely, visited her. There was some confusion about Jumi claiming to have slept well, though. The two sounded like they would not get along the last time, even if they had separated while Shinigami was having sex... Some things had changed between her and Jumi and it sounded like the same had happened between Reika and her, as well. The fox had no real response but the reveal about the reaper telling her feelings about her, apparently with Jumi alone, left her mouth agape a little. Not in worry or anything but to hear that they had such a conversation surprised her. H

Shinigami was awake. Well then she should probably get up soon. There was no rush though. They could take some time. Shinigami and Umi could get back to their research, maybe she could do the research in the meantime. It was not something she could easily bring Shinigami along for. Best to go on her own…maybe with Hikaru, since he was trying to do similar research? Better to be up front with Shinigami. This was connected to her, and the two of them were also much closer now. “Don’t worry about me, I slept well.” She spoke into Shinigami, voice a little muffled, before letting go, rolling onto her back. ”Certain someone decided

Reika's mind returned to her own body, having set herself down for the experience. A soft smile on her lips as she had been invited by none other than Jumi, the girl she was bound to hate, to have another time together. Death had always been generous but these kinds of deals were not the same. Shinigami was the only other one girl she could have a close time with, unlike Mao who only served as her pet if anything. She had felt some surprisingly close time with both Mitsuko and her friend now. Words were spit and pain was given but despite that, she was still welcomed after all of that. But not yet. She had given what information Jumi had need

“Your choice, anything you want, trusting you will restrain yourself enough I don’t need the tube. Or another dream, where there is less danger of that. I have a better idea what I’m getting into, more preparation, but feel free to try to surprise me.” It was and was not like what Mitsuko was asking for, though maybe part of it was in fact that she did not want to be the only one of them who had no experience like that connected to Reika. She was surprising herself a lot lately. Her domination of Shinigami, now this. She had not imagined she would be planning this with Reika. But she committed to it, eager to see if Reika was willing t

All of these things will be developed as you go through Pathways though for things like abilities and such you'll probably need to ask Isabella for specific help with how to translate your characters tools properly. Read the pathways steps carefully and that should help you know where to put what and where. The character relations are are also stepped up through that though everyone starts at a d4 at default (and you can pick who to step up and for what reasons she has made clear the step-ups are super important) but this is all outlined in Pathways so check that out. Its at the bottom of the rules reference page. Origin, Youth, an

"My choice...? Are you really asking from me what you accused me of letting Mitsuko ask? You know, I have some troubles trying to figure what is happening in your fun little head. Besides, was I not completely honest with you, with my feelings just now? But yes, I will moderate my hungry beasts. I presume you do not have the same gift as she does... Not everyone can take these feisty ones but I would not worry too much. On a normal human, they are not as much of a threat. Tentacles try to adapt to their victims and they normally do that so well... What a surprise it was to see what they did to Mitsuko.", Reika commented, assuming that Jumi kn

...I am lost in the sauce a bit i think, can someone point me in a direction to channel all my energy at?

Was she taming the reaper now? Not necessarily a bad thing, reigning in Reika’s darker side might be a good thing. But beyond that, it was not Jumi’s intention to change her. Not doing anything to hurt Mitsuko again was a very good thing at least. She did not know though if she had any impact on her coming punishment. It was maybe better to leave it a surprise. Jumi had established the permission and more or less where the lines were, it was up to Reika to decide what to do. The key was to vent any feelings she had, as long as lines were not crossed, Jumi did not want Reika to hold back for her sake. If that meant feeding the darkness

I'm posting the basic rules and custom build info here. This will be edited, but locked to prevent it getting messy.
