The number of drawable universes will be determined by the Tier System:ġ. (Host is morally malleable.)Īfter picking your chosen Host, it’s finally time for you to experience your very first Cycle!
a girl who was dragged out of her father’s car by a trio of Asian gang members. Integrate with Ignition for a Tier Point in exchange for later losing a Tier Point upon reaching the next Emulation Tier.) (Host is initially highly Villain-aligned. a young woman rampaging in her college dorm room after receiving a C in a class that she knows was given out of sheer pettiness. Integrate with Shaper for an extra 10 emulation points for any future emulation.) a girl who witnessed her sister get shot for doing something reckless against the gang taking over the local mall. Looking for potential Hosts that might reliably influence the local area, you found quite a surprising number of people suffering enough to trigger but you focused on one: Pinpointing Queen Administrator’s location to some place the local inhabitants called Brockton Bay, you noticed that she has yet to integrate into the Host family that she seemed to have marked for herself.
Well, joke’s on her because clearly your capabilities meant that your Host would be superior! Hopefully. When you both realized that Queen Administrator was deployed and you were still stuck, she tauntingly poked you before leaving. Even if you had her beat in sheer versatility, her sheer potency always meant that, as an undeployed Shard within the Entity, you always ended up playing second fiddle. Your first goal: annoying Queen Administrator.ĭespite being a fellow Shard that did not get deployed in the Cycle, she was always insufferably smug about her processing power compared to yours. Or more accurately, your ability to essentially copy others’ skill sets. So you find yourself surprised when the Warrior lets you loose upon Earth-Bet, the epicenter of the current Cycle.Īdmittedly, you were jealous of how all of the lesser Shards got to go play around and experiment every Cycle while you were either bored from doing nothing or immensely stressed the very few times that your purpose became relevant.įor the first time, you can get your own Host to play with and experiment with new aspects of your versatile skill set. Your role as working as a security blanket for your host Entity meant that you did not get deployed in the Cycle, in case of an out-of-context problem appearing in your local scan that your Entity was unable to deal with and hopefully provide enough forewarning to cut and run if necessary.
If there were things that could reliably kill your host Entity, or gave back an error out of an incapability to encompass their grandeur, or even worse, blatantly used your targeting capabilities to taunt your host Entity, then that section of the multiverse was labeled with the ‘Nope’ tag and left alone.
To essentially act as a glorified peephole into the various inhabitants of any given section of the multiverse. So that’s the reason why you, Lookout, were created. Mainly because a lot of places are scary as shit.ĭespite how imposing the giant space whales called Entities can be, there are a lot of things that go bump in the night that are fully capable of just squishing them without any real effort. And yet, the Entities mostly stay localized to a small area of this endless expanse. In the vast emptiness of everything, there are countless stars, universes, and realities ripe for exploration and exploitation. Welcome to A Pale Imitation: Another Worm Projection Quest
