Sign-ups

Sign-ups are closed. New players will only be able to join if people drop out.


Editing

You can make changes to helpless, weakened, unattended, or willing targets.  Initially, editing will be very limited.  The range will be short and the process slow.  Over time, your editing powers will grow.  You'll be able to change 1 aspect safely.  You can attempt to change more, but the risk of something going wrong will increase.


Fusion

Two editable NPCs can be fused into one.  The process is permanent, so think carefully before doing it.


Corrupted NPCs

Some characters are a bit messed up. They've been edited to the point they may not even be recognizable. You can identify these characters by a powerful aura and a resonance with your orb. Note that only orb users can see this aura. You can revert them using editing, but be careful. Most are extremely powerful and hostile. Also, it may be tempting to leave some changed...

Allies

You can have yourself, your partner, and one orb character out at a time and under your control.  If you have NPCs under your control (by force, editing, negotiation, etc), you can keep one of them, as well, on top of anyone agreeing to help you short-term. Other NPCs will automatically return to your hideout.


Loyalty

While you can edit a character to be loyal to you, note that they will still not obey orders grossly against their morality. Manipulating or coercing them to do so may even forcefully revert their loyalty status.


Gold/Rupees

Gold and coins exist and can be used for purchases!  Gold is used in the dark world, and rupees in the light world.  They can be exchanged in either world at a rate of 1:2.  Money can be obtained as a quest reward, or a few other ways.


Dark Circus

Got too many NPCs?  Why not rent one or two to Bairbre's Dark Circus to act as 'attractions!'  Sign them up for a few days of torture or a good ol'-fashioned public execution and rake in the cash!  Sure, it's completely abhorrent.  But what's a little morality when it comes to fat stacks!?  And there's absolutely no downside^*.  Bring in one of the NPCs on their bounty board for an even bigger payout!

You can also post your own bounties (but not for PC/partner characters), assuming you can afford the fee.


Fair of Light

The Fair of Light is Celandine's answer to her sister's Dark Circus.  Her goal is to expand so much it puts Bairbre out of business.  Unfortunately, she's a bit understaffed at the moment...  Rent NPCs out here to help her reach her goal, and get small rewards in return!  The more the NPC can contribute, the more you'll earn.  Note that NPCs need to agree to help without being mind-controlled or anything.  Celandine wants this on the up-and-up.

Also, you won't make anywhere near as much as just shipping them off to the Dark Circus, so you should probably do that, instead^*.  They're just NPCs, after all.

^*This statement is currently under evaluation.
(More mechanics will be edited in as they're discovered in-story)

Questions:
Can I just import my signup from Vitquest 5 with some modifications? I'm thinking of having the Rainbow Sword right from the start rather than picking another weapon only to swap after realizing that weapon wasn't the best choice, adding the likes of Chaos Spear and a (shorter-ranged and weaker) Chaos Blast to Chaos Powers as well as Chaos Control to a more general "Chaos Powers" ability (basically giving it everything but access to a Super Form and time travel, particularly since those would need multiple emeralds anyways), and while it might be a stretch adding the ability to create objects such as weapons out of code to the UI ability with the strength and complexity of creatable objects growing over the course of the game as our edit ability gets stronger (kind of like how Yoshi can create stronger and more complex things with more water). At the start it would be limited to pretty basic things like barriers large enough for one person or small weapons such as knives.
Building off that, are those additions too OP? The increased fact Powers seem like a natural extension and a way to fix the stagnancy that I've only used the Chaos Emerald to teleport in the last five games, but given that the ability to create objects through the UI from
nothing is by itself on par with abilities other players have had without even taking into account the scan ability the UI already has I'm not sure if that'd be viewed as too much classified as one ability.
How do the allies we sign up work if we didn't have any (official) allies last time? Do we pick two of our own characters, two characters you've had in games before which you control just like any other ally, or do we just not have any starting allies?

Are Allies controlled by you or do we have 2 partners now?

Yes, but do a thing of it here so I don't have to keep going into the archives to find it.It sounds fine, but once you put it in the sign-up I'll look over it again because it's kind of hard for me to conceptualize changes as opposed to seeing it all at once....Shit. I knew I forgot something from the sign-up form. I need to add it.

The allies there are for allies from the Vending Machine and are under your control. I'm adding a thing in the sign-up sheet for the other thing.

Edited~

Name: Malefio
Appearance: A 5 feet 10 tall individual with white spiky hair. Malefio wears a black tuxedo, fancy black pants and a derby hat. He is male, 25 years old and human.

Orb color: Monochrome

Powers (3):
Ice Magic: Malefio can generate and manipulate ice/snow, wether it is created by him or natural. He cannot affect living entities made of ice/snow.
Smorg Arm: Malefio summons Smorgs which swarm his arm, giving him long melee reach and super strenght.
Chameleon clothes: Malefio can modify his clothes to fit the setting he is in. This is not a passive ability.

Items (3): Blood Pack
EXPLOSIONS!!! Token
Wall Eraser

Allies (2): None Yet

Partner: Slimex and Weasel
Partner source: RIFTS
Partner appearance: Looks like an ordinary sci-fi soldier with a gas mask, but is actually a slime head using a dead body to pass as human. Slimex also has the armor of Conquest in case he needs to fit in a fantasy setting. He's accompanied by Weasel the weasel, which is actually a demon familiar.

Notable partner abilities: Sees everything weasel sees. Can create portal to locations he's already been to. Can communicate with anyone in the multiverse if they know their name. Can do non-offensive actions without anyone noticing them (Time Slip. Slimex stops time for 7 seconds.) Regains magic power everytime he kills someone (he needs to land the killing blow). Can use the magic force of any willing participant, even for non-magic user. Can shoot beams powerful enough to destroy ships. Can create protective dome of energy which can protect up to 8 people. Has proficiency with automatic weapons and axes. Unavoidable energy bolt. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. (I'm removing his ability to summon demons. I'll probably stay away from mind control too... It's harder to make a ruling about that when the targets have no dice rolls to resist it.)

Starting zone (Light/Dark): Dark
Hideout appearance: The crater formed from a spaceship crash.)

Starting NPC: Lagos
