let's kill her
Ryuji Wrote:
Considering what Mary Smythe did back in Gallipoli, can I get some preliminary odds for taking her down? Assuming Mhic Nathair has the same face as she she did back there, Ryuji would recognize her from all the time he spent as a medic/working in those tents, and remembers incredibly well the betrayal of one of the nurses that slit the soldiers' throats (he and 9S tried to save one). Probably enough to have a personal vendetta against her.
Few thoughts here; I'm just spitballing some ideas.
1. I'm completely willing to accept Ryuji's death as an outcome, hell, even encouraging it to be honest
2. He would probably try to rally some people to do it with him, so it might not be alone (assuming, here, that she'd never step foot in the arena).
3. Assuming that, okay, maybe a full frontal assassination mission might not be very viable, what about the metaverse? If that's on the table, he'd like to go in there and steal her heart (probably harder, all things considered), or outright skip the mechanic altogether of trying to rehabilitate her into feeling remorse for what she did, and just completely damage the cornerstone of her psyche enough to cause massive instability (known as a mental shutdown in P5- it usually ends with the person committing suicide).
Or if any of this is completely out of scope and off the table because there's plans for her, that's cool too. I imagine Ryuji would still like to try (see #1).
Mod Response:
So! While we completely encourage this kind of plot, this isn't the thread for it; this thread is for filling out the textarea and getting rolls on if your character dies in the arena battles. What you're asking for is more akin to a player plot, which you can put on the above linked player plot page, or up in the general questions if you'd prefer to keep it all on the same page. That all said, I REALLY REALLY REALLY encourage you to go through with it, there are definitely a lot of ways to go about it, and it may be something that could have serious effect on the plot later down the line.
All we'd need from you is:
-Who is involved.
-What's their method of attack / extraction / whatever?
-What's their ultimate goal?
-Do you want any outcomes rng'd by us (and if so, what)?
Feel free to stick that in either of the linked spaces and we'll get back to you asap.

SIGN UPS
no subject
Codename: Saber
Specialty: Strength, stamina... killing a lot of fools.
Method of attack: BIG SWORD, red lightning, fist/feet/teeth.
Things you'd like to see: JUST LET HER HAVE RYUJI'S BACK. Mordred would 100% vote for killing her (whether in the metaverse or real life), fwiw, though she could be talked into the heart stealing.
no subject
(best servant tbh
even when you're throwing shade at your master)
no subject
Codename: R'iia (it's a Teedo goddess name... she's followin Ryuji's suggestion)
Specialty: she has the force so I mean... here's your cheat card
Method of attack:
Things you'd like to see: Since this is more of a personal thing for Ryuji I'd love to have her basically just supporting him! She would be the opposite of Mordred and support stealing hearts, but really as long as it was supporting Ryuji he'd be able to convince her go with whatever plan he felt was more important.
Basically just +1 support only a slightly less murdery version
no subject
let's kick some regency ass!!!
no subject
Codename: Wolf
Specialty: Strength, but not as much so as the preternatural characters (just pretty much peak physical strength for a human of his size); strategy, but known for emotion-driven mistakes; really good and fast with a sword; has killed 50+ people? Tried to punch a guy to death once. But also, compassionate conversations with people.
Method of attack: He's there to support, but if you're asking him, it involves anger and a cool sword.
Things you'd like to see:
1. I don't know if Jon will know by this point that her shabti is actually Kebechet Undercover, but he'd sure like to know, and I'm unsure of how to approach related interactions because I don't want things to be too on the nose (i.e. he just happens to approach the right people without a hook to send him there). Either way, Mhic having killed the wounded soldiers would be enough for him to be convinced to go after her.
2. If he's convinced somehow that it's possible, Jon would not only want to steal Mhic's heart, he would want to see if there was a way to turn her so that she works for COST inside of the Regency. Otherwise, killing her is fine with him, but he's into making allies of enemies where it's possible and where they can find a common cause.
no subject
i think i might've missed the note that Kebechet was involved with this as her shabti, but goddamn, that makes this even better. also, inflicting a change of heart to join up to COST seems so incredibly dangerous and beautiful.
of course, if the team just wants to do a full frontal assault that's fine too, we can try to kill her outright
no subject
Codename: Cruel
his signature weapons have this in their nameSpecialty: Strategy, intelligence gathering, stealth. His strength and speed are significant compared to organic beings.
Method of attack: As hacking targets consciousness and it works on magical or technological targets, he'd certainly try this. It could absolutely backfire: for instance, hacking a corrupted Eve in turn infected him. If hacking is successful on the other hand he's capable of hijacking or damaging a target. He's the dumb kind of smart and reckless, I'm prepared for awful results if others indulge him in this.
Things you'd like to see: Let him princess carry Ryuji...
no subject
a hacker in this team, either in the metaverse or in real life will definitely have some interesting results. it's super exciting to see where this would go- and depending on our course of action, i could submit the player plot request to have an rng contest of will for 9S vs infected hack save.
(please princess carry ryuji)
no subject
(Clearly it is his destiny to princess carry Ryuji)
no subject
On the metaverse side of things, if we go down that route, 9S could probably hack the structure of its very reality and make this go really smoothly.
BTW- I posted up a discussion thread just below so that we can determine the initial course of action/what route we're taking. After we hammer out details and what makes sense for them to do, I'll go ahead and submit to the mods for approval!
no subject
9S, the most delighted to be useful, even if it's in a really, really weird way.
And I'm on it!

Codename: Blade
Specialty: In addition to his mastery of swordfighting, Mams has also received training with firearms and military tactics. He works kinda(?) as Covert Ops, but isn't the sneaky type - if it would be up to just him, he wouldn't say no to using a full frontal raid. He is all for strategy, manipulative fighting and making sure that their opponent knows why they lost.
Method of attack: Efficient.
Things you'd like to see: ANYTHING GOES he'll be here to make sure the kids don't get into too much trouble ok ok
