Slay the Princess - The Pristine Cut CRT (More of a Scar Now)

[Eden_Warlock99]

Well, it’s only been... four months or so, but hey, who’s counting? Either way, we've got a ton of new abilities to go over, so let’s just cut to the chase.

The Princess​

Current Profile - New profile

NEW KEY: Prisoner/Cage
Originally, she wasn’t distinct enough from her Chapter 1 counterpart to warrant her own key, but her new Chapter 3 form is pretty unique powerset-wise, so yeah.
[Excuse the Prisoner render, one day I'll get to removing that shadow]

Statistics Changes
Surprisingly, the only Princess who got like, physically stronger from the DLC is the Apotheosis, who's 2-A now for opening a hole in the Construct and inadvertently damaging the Long Quiet's true form in the process. [Ran into some difficulty when it came to explaining why that's 2-A, so any help with that would be appreciated]

PnA Additions

• CH1 Princess
  

  Social Influencing
  

  • Instigating Fear - Can easily instill fear and doubt in the Long Quiet, her composed, almost dismissive, attitude making him hesitate and second guess himself, even when he holds the upper hand. She can do the same to the Voice of the Opportunist, who initially believed that killing her would be a simple task.
  • Deception - The Narrator specifically warns the Long Quiet of her ability to deceive and manipulate him. Can trick the latter into coming close enough for her to stab him.
  • Coercion - Can threaten and belittle the Long Quiet into submission, successfully coercing him into dropping the Pristine Blade and later compelling him into cutting her free, despite the Narrator's wishes.

• The Spectre
  

  Fusionism (Dragged "the decider" part of the Long Quiet with her when she left his body)

• The Den
  

  Power Absorption and Healing (Low-Mid - Can quickly recover from injuries, including regrowing lost limbs, by consuming flesh. Each bite not only heals her wounds but also drains her opponent's strength, bolstering her own power in the process)
  

  • Immortality (Type 1 - Will never die so long as she keeps eating)
  • Transformation (Her body morphs to resemble what she eats)

• The Apotheosis
  

  Forcefield Creation (The light that surrounds her can act as a barrier)
  Existence Erasure (Made the Long Quiet's blade vanish. Her inferno of light incinerates not only the body but also the soul and any other entities within it)
  Nonexistence Interaction (Nature Type 2, Aspects 1, 2, 3 & 5 [Other: Causality]) and Transduality Negation (Type 2 - Can interact with and harm the Long Quiet's true form, the emptiness dichotomy is imposed upon)

• The Fury
  

  Biological Manipulation (Atomic - Can deconstruct and reconstruct living matter to her liking with a simple gesture, unravelling a body cell by cell, reshaping it into various grotesque forms and even stretching it to the point where it exceeds the length of the world itself)
  

  • Existence Erasure (Erased the Long Quiet from existence by scattering his atoms)
  • Life Manipulation (Kept the Long Quiet alive, even when reduced to a single cell)
  • Fusionism (Can merge herself with others)

  Resistance to Pain Manipulation (Lost her capacity for pain)

Other
Added a Note about how we'll treat the Shifting Mound yoinking the Princesses shortly after they leave the cabin (Needs to be specified in the battle assumptions).

The Long Quiet​

Current Profile - New profile

Statistics Changes
Restricted LQ's peak can match the Apotheosis, so he'll also get a "up to 2-A" rating.

PnA Additions

• Restricted
  

  Subjective Reality (As the inverse to the Shifting Mound, The Long Quiet can alter reality to match his view as long as he has an iron-clad belief in what he's doing. Doubting himself will result in the power failing to work)
  Multiple Selves (Type 1: The Long Quiet can generate multiple distinct personalities within his mind, each capable of influencing his thought process, controlling bodily functions or manifesting themselves outside of his body)
  Bodily Weaponry (Possess talons on his hands and feet)
  Weapon Mastery (Is skilled enough with a knife to overpower and defeat physically superior opponents such as the Adversary or Den)

• Unrestricted
  

  Greater Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1), Transduality (Types 1 & 2), Nonexistent Physiology (Nature Type 2, Aspects 1, 2, 3 & 5 [Other: Causality]) & Likely Regeneration (Mid-Godly) & Immortality Negation (Types 1, 2, 3, 5 & 7; Can overpower and destroy the Shifting Mound directly, without having to destroy her avatar)

That's about it.

Looks great, I agree.

 

[BestMGQScalerEver]

I agree with this Gwenpool CRT

 

[Orioreeem]

Low 1-A/1-A when?

 

[Eden_Warlock99]

Low 1-A/1-A when?

Ultima is handling that, I believe.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

You're so peak bro.

Following, but agree of course.

For this it would be something like

Multiverse level+ as the Apotheosis (Can open a hole in the Construct, which houses an infinite series of parallel universes. Damaged the sleeping body of Long Quiet's true form which the construct was built to contain)

Also for striking strength, I would change the justification. Causing 7-C levels of damage is pretty bad for a 2-A justification. Either don't make it multiversal or have it scale to her AP through the Long Quiet.

Yeah, really only kept it cause the creators are a big fan of the calc. Suppose we can just list it on the Verse page, whenever that gets made.

You can link the calc for her height justification if you want to keep it.

Shouldn't The Wild also be 2-A if The Apotheosis is as well (with same interaction related abilities)? Since they essentially have the exact same feat.

The main part that makes the Apotheosis 2-A is harming the dormant LQ, don't think opening human-sized hole in a 2-A construct nets you 2-A by itself.

the construct is the dormant long quiet though and opening a hole in it is essentially harming the LQ.

a direct example but there's a ton of other stuff

 

[Vietthai96]

when we have the verse page? Also minor nitpicking

Varies. Street level normally (Can fight the Princess, though not without significant effort in most cases), up to Multiverse level+ when tapping into his full power (When the Long Quiet tapped into a greater degree of their strength, they overpowered the barrier generated by Apotheosis and was capable of erasing the universe and effortlessly dominated and defeated the Empty Cup), higher with knife (Capable of stabbing, and killing Princesses that are physically much superior to the Long Quiet, such as the Tower)

Why the part "up to Multiverse level+" before the part "higher with knife"??, this make no sense and reader could well think that he is higher into 2-A with knife

The knife is weird since even in the 2-A example the knife is shown to be stronger than your base powers and is what is used to break through Apotheosis. However, its not a solid rating since right after if you tap into your greater aspect even more you can directly destroy her.

I wasn't sure where to put it exactly since it's just like "A useable weapon stronger than your body no matter the tier."

Shouldn't The Wild also be 2-A if The Apotheosis is as well (with same interaction related abilities)? Since they essentially have the exact same feat.

Yes and no imo. So there's two stages of the Wild. Stage one is at the start of the stage when she becomes one with the entire universe. The second stage is if the Long Quiet and her begin to combine, which results in her transcending her previous state

That's because you aren't small, even if you act that way. We're both so much more together than we were apart. And we can be so much more still. Vast. Unfathomable.

To provide more evidence, this is the sequence that happens right before you shatter the construct:

Narrator: You won't find anything. If I have to starve you, if I have to sacrifice my world to keep the Princess at bay, I'll do it. I'll do it all if that's what it takes to save everyone in every other world and all across every other possible existence.

But you do find something. It's cold and smooth, and gently buckles, then cracks under the pressure of your consciousness flattening against it.

Narrator: Don't move an inch. Don't grow another blade of grass or harvest the remains of another dying creature so you can expand just that much further. Stop all of this right now

Voice of the Hero: I think it's too late for that, mate.

The Wild: I'm at your side. Shatter it, and free us all.

The Long Quiet: [Shatter the cage.]

Narrator: No no no no no! Stop—

But His pleas disappear at the sound of breaking glass. For a moment, you and she gaze through the tiniest hole in the world at the place you need to be.

So for the Wild, she would still be Low 2-C. The hole scene doesn't happen unless the avatar of the Long Quiet begins to merge with her and even then it's seemingly the Long Quiet that opens a hole rather than the Princess, who's cosmic awareness is what allowed the Long Quiet to do so in the first place.

So imo its one of two things:

• We make her key "Varies; Low 2-C, up to 2-A
• We conclude that this is a feat for the Long Quiet and not her, with the "higher" rating being that she can theoretical fuse with other universes within the construct.

 

[Eden_Warlock99]

I mean, the Wild is primarily a fusion of the Long Quiet and the Princess, and even loses her form and becomes a physical entity when they defuse (Wounded Wild), so I'd go with the "Varies; Low 2-C, up to 2-A" route (This does mean that she should also probably also have all of the Restricted LQ's abilities).

 

[BestMGQScalerEver]

frick I forgot about this and should've brought it up in the discussion thread but.

Should The Long Quiet have fourth wall awareness for being aware of the chapter title cards in Princess and the Dragon route or would it just be a function of the Construct stuff.

 

[Eden_Warlock99]

Think it's diegetic. The fact LQ doesn’t see it after being separated from his body sure does suggest it’s something the Narrator set up specifically for him.
