The Avatar of The God of Bonds, Invention, and Narrative

[cvasquez]

PREQUISITE: You must be The Avatar of The God of Bonds, Invention, and Narrative to take this class.
Tier 1

Bonds - The Bonds we share with each other are filled with an immeasurable power that binds and connects us no matter where we are. You are able to ATTEMPT to manipulate the domain of Bonds in your base form, based on intelligence, deftness, or appeal. If you choose to specialize in only this one domain, once per day you may use all three of these stats added together for its manipulation. If you do, you may not use either of the other two domains.

Bonds of Power - Now, some so-called "Gods" and "True Aspects" may have had some issue with attempting to use their powers before… but that was before they knew you had such a winning smile . Once per day, you can use a BOP-related ability of one of your allies safely. However, you may still want to be careful on who you choose, as some more… unstable Beings of Power may seek retribution for using their power against their will. However, they cannot stop you from actually using it.

Tier 2

Divine Right - Divinity has seeped into the very core of your mortal being, turning you into something so much more than you once were before. The stat bonuses of your Boon of Bonds, Invention, and Narrative, whatever level it currently is, is doubled.

Divine Manifestation - Even in your base form, others with the power to can sense the divinity within your mortal body. This is basically your identification when you need to prove who you are to the non-believers. You may toggle this as a simple action.

Tier 3

Plot Device - As a simple action, you can now create a Plot Device! What's a Plot Device? Why, just like any other plot convenience, it's a vehicle to drive the Narrative along! Your Plot Device can take the shape of any vehicle of your choosing, and there's always guaranteed space all of your friends inside! Literally, it's bigger on the inside and will grow more seats to comfortably fit any number of people you bring inside of it. The Plot Device is even able to safely drive into other stories (universes)! Rolls driving your Plot Device are based on intelligence.

Divine Inspiration - Eureka! Once per day, inspire a target sapient entity with a brilliant idea! If it's a player, maybe it's an idea how to get out of a current predicament. If it's an NPC, maybe it's an idea for a special invention! You decide the information you pass on and it must be infomation you know or could figure out. The really cool thing is, this works in a metanarrative sense. This means you can pass information to your allies no matter where they are, even if they're on a different mission! This is a one-way method of communication, however.

Tier 4

Invention - You may not realize this, but the world around you is shaped by your thoughts. The power of your ingenuity and creativity are evident in everything you do. Some would argue that in the end, our thoughts are all we have. You are able to ATTEMPT to manipulate the domain of Invention in your base form, based on intelligence, deftness, or appeal. If you choose to specialize in only this one domain, once per day you may use all three of these stats added together for its manipulation. If you do, you may not use either of the other two domains.

Scientia Potentia Est - Knowledge is power. This is a metaphorical phrase for most people, but a literal one for you. Anytime you surprise the pataphysical entities who tell the story of our Reality (The DMs), you gain a permanent +0.5 to either intelligence or perspicacity.

Tier 5

Narrative Dictation (Unique MAXXED) - Don't like how the current story is going? Want something new and exciting to really stretch the extent of your Narrative capabilities? Once per six missions, you may either retcon a plot point that just happened OR dictate how the next story beat goes. You will describe exactly what happens. The only caveat being that the pataphysical entities that govern our reality  as well as any Narrative BOPs stronger than you must like this new plot direction. If they do not for whatever reason (they don't have to give any explanation), this ability fails. Therefore, use your new power to write something awesome. If the ability fails, this does not consume your once per six mission charge of this ability. The only ones who will know of these changes are BOPs with a connection to Narrative, as these changes are not to the timeline, but to the story itself. This means even most Multiversal Constants won't know about what you change! Once EVER, you can transcend the bounds of your Narrative and make a plot point that CANNOT be contested, no matter how badly the governing entities of our reality may want it to be. The only difference being… you aren't in the new story, and no one will remember you were ever in the old one. The Narrative will warp and change to account for your non-existence in the least impactful way possible (For example, this means people whose lives you saved will still be saved, but someone else did it or something happened to keep them alive) and no one will ever know of your sacrifice, except for Narrative-related Beings of Power. Ensure the story you leave behind will be a good one. (Finally, it feels as if it doesn't necessarily need to be said, but just to get it in writing - please use this ability responsibly. If you make a narrative decision that completely ruins the story for everyone else, we still hold the right to veto it. But that would only be in an EXTREME scenario.)

Divine Manifestation (Bonus) - Your eyes are always manifested in your divine power, and you can see other Avatars, even if they're in hiding.

Tier 6

Manuscripted - When you transform, a convenient breeze from nowhere in particular brings you a swarm of manuscripts, all of them describing the bond you share with a single other person. Occasionally, if you ask reeeeeally nicely, they can bring one when you aren't transformed too. Once per encounter, you can summon one of the manuscript pages from your transform as a simple action. This page will be of one person of your choosing, and will allow you to do anything with the page that you can as outlined in your transform abilities!

Tier 7

Narrative - The Narrative ebbs and flows, carrying us on the whims of fate wherever it feels we must go. This is a fact of the universe, and one you are now acutely aware of. However, are we really so passive in our narrative participation? You are able to ATTEMPT to manipulate the domain of Narrative in your base form, based on intelligence, deftness, or appeal. If you choose to specialize in only this one domain, once per day you may use all three of these stats added together for its manipulation. If you do, you may not use either of the other two domains.

Tier 8

Metanarrative Integrity - If this is just a story… there have to be other stories, right? Your life is about to get a LOT more confusing. You gain the superpower "Omni-Incarnational Awareness", and are thus aware of all other versions of yourself. You can use the information provided by these alternate selves as you wish, although it's hard to keep all of them straight at the same time. Typically you'll only be able to pull info from one at a time. In addition, you are now innately aware when an event has gone against the "narrative" of the world, to a level much deeper than other Beings of Power. (edited)

Tier 9

Apogee - Reality is nothing but one long story we all tell collaboratively, forged by the power of our decisions and the connections we make with our fellow writers. In the end, we're all Storytellers. Even if you don't realize it yet. If you chose not to specialize in any one domain, you receive a passive 1.337x multiplier (Rounds up to 1.4x!) to manipulating all three. If you chose to specialize in a single domain, you gain access to the other two, but no additional bonus in manipulating them.

REQUIREMENT: TO TAKE THE FOLLOWING TIER, YOU MUST POSSESS YOUR GOD'S COMPLETE AVATAR BOON. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT THIS TIER IS AHEAD OF TIME, BUT MUST KNOW THE EFFECTS WILL BE PERMANENT. THERE IS NO GOING BACK PAST THIS POINT.

Tier 10
