The more comments with suggestions I get, the more I face the reality that I'm not as widely read/gamed as everyone else. Nier Automata has showed up repeatedly, and I never played it. Same for Hellgate London :(. I'll look through the wiki to see what's available, but I make no promises. I'd rather not pull on anything if I don't implement it properly. That said, welcome to my little corner here. I hope what I do write continues to be good enough despite that. Settings set in the future do make it more likely for them to exist in the Catalog already, at least, instead of needing shenanigans.

2025-08-24 15:47:10 +0000 UTCSince you added Dune, I wonder if you’ll add nier:automata or other settings technologies and techniques too? As much as the poor androids from automata would love to defend mankind against the supernatural, and given their whole ‘bullet time so fast energy beams appear as slow moving floating spheres’ thing, I can’t see them as anything but the prrfect troops for mankind. Oh and maybe weaponry and equipment from hellgate: london? Specialized armor and weapons specifically to gight a hell invadion, plus huns with infinite ammo, even for SWARM missile launchers.

2025-08-11 22:55:52 +0000 UTCThis was a neat and tidy chapter to wrap up just about everything important. It'll be novel to see if he'll pick up the Serial Crime's Units informatics, as the EVERGREEN process is something I'm pretty sure anyone could benefit from, but I don't believe it plays the best alongside regular psychic powers.

2025-08-11 16:12:46 +0000 UTCHe mentioned it previously, but it takes a bit of time to build up to that point, density needs biomass, so he needs to eat good for a few weeks to catch up. Also yes, these two ARE the apex vampire and werewolf hybrids, the only two that exist (until their daughter is born). Even at his best he'd only be the match of one of them, if we're only counting physical stats (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution).
Sebastian Pop
2025-08-11 16:04:16 +0000 UTCWait, so he can make humans as strong as the "apex" vampire and werewolf hybrid, with all the benefits and no downsides, but he would still most likely lose against the couple? Is there a reason why he's not using the enhancement which keeps him human on himself. Cause so far, he's only missing the raw power to take more than a hit to actually start destroying whole covens by himself.
