The Monster (Winter of '83)

"The Monster", also known as "The Lifeform", is the titular main antagonist of the analog horror web-series Winter of '83. They are a colony of an sentient bacteria species part of a secret government project dubbed Project: Freezing Rain. The lifeforms soon broke out of the lab beneath Scott's...

Elemental Intangibility (It is made out of snow that can melt into water)
Corruption Type 1 (It mentioned it can turn humans into itself)
Fusionism (Victims who are absorbed by it become part of it)
Hacking (It can hjiack with broadcasts)
Stealth Mastery (It can ambush someone behind a door. Can silently stalk people)
Size Manipulation (It grows in colder temperatures)
Wind Manipulation and Smoke Manipulation (It can create fog and wind)
Data Manipulation & Text Manipulation (It can change texts and visuals of the broadcasts It hijacks)
Social Influencing (Deception; It took the form of Steven to fool his sister into thinking it is him. It made the news give false information)
Immorality Type 1 (It describes itself to be forever)
Hive Mind Type 1 (It is described to be colony of bacteria yet the credits refer it as "The Monster" and not monsters, meaning it is a hive mind of bacteria)
Limited Electricity Manipulation (It can cut the power. Has the ability to manipulate magnetic media and frequencies)
Upgrade for Shapeshifting (Can take the form of a snowman. It can also take the form of humans)

The Monster's tier should be changed to 9-A physically because it destroyed a cabin.
The monster would have 6-B Weather Manipulation because of this calculation.

You should probably call upon the mods on their message walls.

 

[Apex_Predator_GX]

Looks alright.

 

[FinePoint]

Elemental Intangibility (It is made out of snow that can melt into water)

Sure.

Corruption Type 1 (It mentioned it can turn humans into itself)

If it's only mentioned, maybe a Likely or Possibly is better.

Fusionism (Victims who are absorbed by it become part of it)

More like Absorption. Fusionism would imply something new.

Hacking (It can hjiack with broadcasts)

Sure, though are we sure this isn't some kind of Limited Technology Manipulation as well?

Stealth Mastery (It can ambush someone behind a door. Can silently stalk people)

Stretching the definition of Mastery a bit, but sure.

Size Manipulation (It grows in colder temperatures)

Sure.

Wind Manipulation and Smoke Manipulation (It can create fog and wind)

Sure.

Data Manipulation & Text Manipulation (It can change texts and visuals of the broadcasts It hijacks)

Sure. Maybe specify Limited.

Social Influencing (Deception; It took the form of Steven to fool his sister into thinking it is him. It made the news give false information)

I guess.

Immorality Type 1 (It describes itself to be forever)

Kind of vague. Maybe Possibly instead.

Hive Mind Type 1 (It is described to be colony of bacteria yet the credits refer it as "The Monster" and not monsters, meaning it is a hive mind of bacteria)

Sure. Also implied by the absorption and corruption and such.

Limited Electricity Manipulation (It can cut the power. Has the ability to manipulate magnetic media and frequencies)

Sure.

Upgrade for Shapeshifting (Can take the form of a snowman. It can also take the form of humans)

Sure.

The Monster's tier should be changed to 9-A since it can destroy a cabin.

Are we sure it did this in one attack?

As someone who watched this analog horror, it's plausible that when it got stupid f##king cold it grew large enough that it could do that. I'd say a "Atleast 9-C, up to 9-A with size manipulation" or "Atleast 9-C, likely 9-A" might do the trick. That said, I'm not quite sold on fully just straight up giving it a 9-C to 9-A upgrade straight up, hence the "Atleast 9-C, Likely 9-A / up to 9-A with size manip" instead of just 9-A

I'd be fine with a Likely up to 9-A.

 

[VIZION99]

I'd be fine with a Likely up to 9-A.

I added something new to the CRT, what do you think about it?

 

[FinePoint]

I added something new to the CRT, what do you think about it?

What did you add?

 

[Monstermadman]

What did you add?

They added 7-C environmental destruction because the monster destroyed the entire town.

 

[FinePoint]

They added 7-C environmental destruction because the monster destroyed the entire town.

All at once or over time?

 

[Monstermadman]

All at once or over time?

Honestly I'd argue over time unless the blizzard it caused literally dropped all the snow at once. Though it creating the storm may yield higher results through weather manipulation.

If it created a storm that should be calced instead, yeah, and it should be higher.

 

[Monstermadman]

I'll do it when I can. They drop some hints at the towns location throughout the series so it shouldnt be too hard.

 

[Monstermadman]

Calced it. How ya'll feel about Tier 6?

Well, a CGM will need to approve it.

 

[Monstermadman]

Well, a CGM will need to approve it.

I know, its in the calc eval thread.

 

[FinePoint]

I know, its in the calc eval thread.

Right.

Anyway, I don't find it contextually unbelievable from the narrative's perspective that their 'true power' would be something really high like that, and it is consistent with them creating large-scale meteorological events at all.

 

[Monstermadman]

Bump

 

[AyOgUyS]

seems ok at a glance

 

[Monstermadman]

The 6-B calc has been accepted. So it shout probably be added to the CRT

done

 

[Monstermadman]

Bump

 

[LephyrTheRevanchist]

I'd be fine with a Likely up to 9-A.

I wouldn't. Needs a calc.

 

[FinePoint]

I wouldn't. Needs a calc.

You're right. I don't know why I demanded one for the storm but not that before.

 

[VIZION99]

I wouldn't. Needs a calc.

What's your opinion on the rest of the CRT?
