Doesn't seem too convoluted to me. Originally I think you were going with an amnesiac protagonist trapped in a mysterious (haunted?) location. Then you stepped back and went with this phantasm thing instead.
Or rather...I know you SAY It's convoluted, it probably is, on your end, but from what I can tell, at least, all that happened was you started down one story path, changed your mind and went another way.

[Unnamed Protagonist]'s Bizarre Adventure.

it's ruby quest with STANDS

It's like Pokemon-Silent Hill

>>81108
Persona-Silent Hill. They just get one spirit, not six.

>>81105
>>81106
I am more than Ok with this.
This is like my two favorite things mashed together and I am excited as hell to see where it goes.

>>81102
yeah its true originally its intended to be about
>amnesiac protagonist trapped in a mysterious (haunted?) location
without any supernatural elements

then i thought of adding ghost like enitites to it... done some sketches... then tried to put one behind characters back, and it clicked.

>>/quest/572564
Doing so would also leave Spike unarmed and in danger. Besides, since it resulted in a death, it might actually be a storyline STRONG point, fortifying everything before it even to the point where it couldn't be undone.

Guys. Guys! GUYS!
WHAT IF WE'RE the protagonist's Phantasm?
We could be called [spoiler]Guided by Voices[/spoiler]

>>81368
Interstingly, I already had that thought. I mean, he seems to just accept being given advice, as though it's natural, despite not really knowing much about the Phantasms or even being able to manifest his visually.

I think i need to make a warning at this point, not to treat power of "SweetChild" lightly... cuz "butterfly effect" can be a bitch...

>>81421
Aw geeze, this is why I didn't want to mess with it before. We just retroactively caused someone to die of starvation.

...whatever food blue (didn't) take from the vending machine hasn't reappeared, though.

No, it wasn't starvation. Apparently the coins were needed for something... or we messed with the timing of the timeline in general, so the guy wound up meeting a monster that he wouldn't normally have by virtue of being a minute early.

>...whatever food blue (didn't) take from the vending machine hasn't reappeared, though.

cuz the food namely twinky was taken... plotpoint affected whether or not the change was taken out of the coin return...

I still think the person was likely attacked sometime later between now and then and that an unknown factor with Sweet Child's power is what completely erased the person's timeline, like my "For people, they have to do everything over again in their timeline, however, physical objects will be where there supposed to be before the eaten plot point as they were interacted with the timeline, even if the person would be unable to interact with that item from the beginning because of a wound that carried over from the future" theory.

So the items were bought and dropped somewhere. It's probably within the person's inventory still if a person's inventory counts as a physical location an object stays in. And that person has probably been freaking out over their wound they gained that they have no idea how they got.

I think what Sweet Child's ability actually does to the reality around them is that it merges bits and pieces of different timelines according to what was eaten. Wounds from the future get kept regardless if what was eaten, so the new timeline has to figure that wound in somehow.

so looks like nobody wants to know who the heck they are playing as... :) oh well...

I think he should have at least temporary name... so leave your suggestions here.

Spike's been tossed out there before I think, but if it comes to throwing a new name out there, I'll go with Harry.

How does plagiarius work? What are the restrictions on when we can copy an ability, and from who?

How does the single use thing work? I kind of assume that means, say, we could borrow Becky's power to observe plot points, but we can't eat them (since they would involve two consecutive actions).

>>/quest/573332
Was this asking us to choose our power from the three, or saying that we have all three powers?

Anyways I threw Spike and Stabs out there as joke names, and somebody said that Spike was a good one, so for the time, I just kept at it.
>>81488
I think I like Barry more than Harry, but Harry's still a good name.

I must say, this is my new favorite quest!

I'm fine with continuing to use Spike, for now.

>>81489

I should have been more clear about it :P sorry

>What are the restrictions on when we can copy an ability, and from who?

You can copy ability of any phantasm as long as it within 1 meter range of you... you must know the name of the ability (so you must expirince it or see it in use at least once)

>How does the single use thing work?

After you stole it, original user cant access that ability until you use it once, after that you will have to steal it again (you cant steal the same power two times in a row)

>I kind of assume that means, say, we could borrow Becky's power to observe plot points, but we can't eat them

Yes they are two different powers so you will have to use up 2 slots for that (you have 3 max)

>Was this asking us to choose our power from the three, or saying that we have all three powers?

You have all 3 powers (the third one being extra bonus for loosing the memory fragment.)

>>81496
>After you stole it, original user cant access that ability until you use it once
Damn, I was worried that would be the case. Pretty much rules out the willing lending of powers.

>>81502
Not necessarily, an ally might be willing to give up one of their phantasm's powers so that you can use it as you see fit, especially if you're going separate directions and it's not a joint power (such as Sweet Child's ability to see plot points and his power to eat them are separate, but jointed powers). Say we find an ally who's phantasm can shoot out a fireball and also has the power to punch really hard: they could let us "borrow" one while still being able to use the other one themselves.

>Now I have to wait for chapter 2, darn ._.

You wont have to wait long :)

I'm interested in where this is going I'm just not invested yet. Can you do horror and action/powers? I was curious about that

Also I say we all band together and find the magic locker factory so we can prevent anymore poor souls from waking up inside dark boxes with light switches.

Something I wanna note about Helter-Skelter: I can't claim to know Sombermann's true reasoning, but from appearances, I would guess he used a lot of the suggestions together. There's a feline like apearance to the mask, as in >>/questarch/573091 but it's also completely covered up, possibly as suggested from >>/questarch/573103 wherein I asked for a "Full head covering mask," combined with the mask from >>/questarch/573101

Sombermann, is this anywhere close to true?

Sombermann also brought the star nipples from the first picture.

Yep :) thats pretty much spot on :D

>>81619

I figured that was the idea, and that's a good way to go about it! Also, the amount of Jojo in this thread is magnificent.

>ora.png

>>81619
It's gonna be so cool when we get to do this to somebody.

Also another tidbit about "Deep Blue" the song, it was written by George Harrison, lead guitarist of the Beatles, which is the band that I mentioned that also performed "Helter Skelter". The connection may imply a friendly male character. That or all the character's with shady pasts and are potentially evil will now get Beatle's related phantasm names.

At this point I have no idea if Sombermann has fully embraced the Naming Scheme's for player characters or Main Ally's phantasms or if the connection is just a huge coincidence. The user of Deep Blue may be an important character.

>>81661
or it could be everyone in the 'gang' will get the same theme. aka, everyone in the 'band' gets songs they wrote.

I find it amusing that so far, every corpse we have found has been in a bathtub, and every bathtub we have looked inside (and likely the one we haven't) has contained a corpse.

>At this point I have no idea if Sombermann has fully embraced the Naming Scheme's for player characters or Main Ally's phantasms or if the connection is just a huge coincidence.

Believe it or not... it's just a huge coincidence... and there is no such a thing as santa...

>I find it amusing that so far, every corpse we have found has been in a bathtub, and every bathtub we have looked inside (and likely the one we haven't) has contained a corpse.

Bathtubs and corpses... something just makes them fit prefectly with each other...

>>81679

So the song titles aren't in the same naming scheme? There's still a chance to get "Closer" then muhahaha

>>81684
The naming scheme is the same as JoJo's.
Just about any popular western band or song is fair game.

I just gotta say; I LOVE the way the other characters are just setting things up the way they were in the other timeline for *seemingly* no reason. I know they probably *have* a reason for doing these things, but it just seems so awesome. Alternate timelines are a thing I like a lot!

outlines are actually really easy to do, for phantasm i first highlight it from outside with magic wand then fill it with white then i do 1 pixel increment and fill it with black, and then 1 pixel increment again and fill it with white again. Line them all behind one another and you get this kind of outline. By the way what soft do you use to draw?

Ormus and his phantasm, Planet Telex.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXyrCRd1ikw&feature=kp

Ormus is a serene, meditative man, with a powerful and utterly alien morality. He thinks nothing of killing in cold blood to attain his ends, and does it always with a look of beatific restfulness on his face. There is a core of justness inside him, a strict honor code, attained after long and strange journeys through the emotional and physical cosmos, but it is so unknowable to most that he often comes off as pitiless or mad. His true beliefs and motivations are difficult to read. He never lies.

His phantasm, Planet Telex, has these powers:

You Can Force It But It Will Not Come: Planet Telex has the capability to join two touching objects together with a nigh-unbreakable force. This joining means that said objects will be impossible to separate, fusing together and becoming one. These bonds dissipate after a while if not concentrated on.

You Can Taste It But It Will Not Form: Planet Telex can sever any of the joined bonds it has created in order to release every joule of energy that has been exerted to physically sever that bond, with concussive force. For example, if it were to fuse a bodybuilder's hands together and he gave a titanic effort to separate them, Planet Telex could then sever the bond and rebound all of that bodybuilder's effort and force into a devastating attack. This attack often manifests as either an explosion centered on the severing bond or a wave of force rippling a short way out of it. The more powerful the repulsive force of the attempted severance, the more powerful the resulting attack.

Everything is Broken: Planet Telex is itself made up of a great number of its own fused bonds at any one time, and its core is unstable enough that those bonds are constantly straining to be free. As a final attack it can explosively unleash every bond on its body at once in a room-clearing pulse of violence, although it then needs to manually rebond and re-assemble itself, leaving it and Ormus highly vulnerable. Since it usually reduces everyone he faces to a red mist, this has rarely been an issue for Ormus.

>>81862
Man, that's way better than I could do, probably. Maybe I'll try something tomorrow. For now, however, I would like to at least post my idea:
A Phantasm which looks like its head and hands are on fire, but has more control over cold than heat.
Phantasm name: Cool Water
Powers:
Chilling Touch-By lessening the flames upon its body, Cool Water can gradually reduce the temperature in an area. This effects an AREA, not a target, meaning a conscious entity could simply move out of the area unless somehow restrained.
Miracle Water-When encountering an area that was frozen by non-phantasm means (Yes, Freezers count), Cool Water can siphon the frost, effectively melting it back into water, and use the sapped cold to heal any friendly target, so long as they are still alive. Mostly useful for light wounds, as finding large enough bodies of ice to heal anything larger would be difficult.

Here's my entry!

Pauline Galigari
Room 402
Persona- Silent Gun

Powers:- Frame Overlay- Silent Gun can 'merge' and enable a person to continue to function despite wounds via 'puppeteering' (Think Twig, but external instead of internal)

Strike through- Silent Gun can stab it's lance arm through an object to strike at whatever's behind it. For this ability to work, the object must completely obscure Pauline's vision of the target behind it. (Basically? She can stab through walls but she's shooting blind when she does so.

History: Pauline is an ex-military soldier, who came to the Sunset Hill looking for a place to spend the night. She vaguely recalls a surprisingly sterotypical boot-camp training that suggested a personal tendancy towards mischief and pranks...

Anyway, sorry for not providing anything about it
Now let's see...

User's name: Nicolas "Nicky" Jaquet
Phantasm: CROSSFIRE (yes, all caps is a must also yeah that's a bullet for a head, I'm so regretting that now thanks to >>81869 ;w;)
Powers:
CAUGHT!:Can detect the location of an specific person the phantasm has seen either in person or a portrait.
Rapid fire: Creates and shoot projectiles of varying size and shape crafted from nearby objects, doing so is taxing on the phantasm making his accuracy low and his presence unstable to maintain, if Nicky loses focus of the target while using rapid fire then crossfire vanishes for a few moments.

Ezekiel and Two Birds.

An amateur author that came to the hotel hoping to take a break and rethink his writing style. He's a bit of a coward.

The more i look at your OC's... the more i somehow wanna make them part of the story :)... If I would have your premission... of course :D

Yeah, I can't draw it. If you wanna use the idea, go ahead, but I guess the specific details are your choice :P

The user I decided on would be "Archibald," a man who wears a pair of shades which has the right lense "broken" off, though he wears it as a necklace and can just slip it in and out as he desires. The reason for these shades is that his left eye is clinically blind (He can technically still see out of it, but he'd have a hard time recognizing things) and dims what it sees so it doesn't interfere with his standard sight.

Careful with integrating OC's into canon
Fans may badger you forever to join your story

Go ahead, I'd be flattered to have him in it!

>>81893

Name: Alexander and Dare to be Stupid

Powers: DtbS constantly projects an anti-ability field which stops the use of abilities from all phantoms except those of great strength, and allows Al to go toe to toe with his foes.

Personality: Alexander is caring, content, and helpful since he adopted his daughters. He used to only live to survive, getting by however he could until they came into his life. He's always at odds with himself because he feels sad and guilty for not being able to get back home to his daughters but he relishes the freedom and excitement of the hotel even so much as to dip into his selfish survivalist ways.

Background: Al left out on his own when he was young and did what it took to survive, lying and cheating where ever he needed to. Since he adopted two young and beautiful daughters he's started working hard to become stable and raise a decent family. He wound up here somehow and is always trying to find a way out as he lives day by day.

I spent way too long on this, then that time got doubled when paint dot net crashed on me.
Meet Jack Reigner, and his stand phantasm Bluesteel Blackout.
Jack, before getting sucked into the hotel goings-on, was an impending college burnout. His slow spiral downwards was just slow enough he might actually have made it, though not in any impressive capacity.
He's a smart dude, studying Architecture and with some natural talent at it he does actually have a future.
He lacks motivation in most cases though, and this usually results in him having a bad time of things as a result of his inability to get shit done without a fire at his back.
He's generally kind of a laid-back person, his default attitude being a sort of mellow happiness that clashes a lot with the hotel.

His Phantasm, Bluesteel Blackout, exists partially in 4-dimensional space, and has 2 abilities that reflect this;

Escher's Box is essentially extra storage space, not limited in any way shape or form save for it being highly-traumatic/deadly to living things due to 4-d space not being exactly the healthiest thing to be in. probably.

Penrose Fractal brings out a freaky violation of natural physics in the form of a fractal pattern of impossible shapes. Looking at these can induce severe nausea as the brain attempts and fails to parse them right, and in some cases can lead to passing out. Maybe.

Room number is 302.

What would have happened if Vicky would let go of the rope...

>>84931
I guess a leap of faith woulda worked, but since we went back up we got to make all sorts of bull puns! Worth it~

>>84931

I think her part would have got alot more interesting...for varying amounts of time depending on what you decided

Guess which quest should update again =D

It's time.... you know this to be true

I believe in you....and the heart of teh cards....and Harvey Dent....and a thing called love

>>86124
Well as format of this quest dictates... player must input command for characters to actually do something. As of time of last update nobody suggested any action for character... so i figured that the quest reached its rock bottom. There you go... no commands = no updates.

>>86126

I never noticed that D=

here I've been waiting for it to update but you've been waiting for a command......

>>86127

actually....umm I'm not sure what to command besides gtfo of bed and do something.....

be better to give us a lead of some sort

>>86128
Well think back on what you know about this character so far. What he can and can't do. And commands don't always have to include 'physical' actions... Come on I don't want to railroad the entire thing.

>>86129

since i have the worst memory in the history of this board i went back to look...basically we did nothing and let him sleep while his phantom floated over to of him so I'm not sure. ( I really do have a horrible memory i'm sorry)

>>86130
Oh well why the heck not. Dr Herman Strauss is quadriplegic so he can't move on his own. His phantasm is 'Lemon Tree' able to peer into alternate dimensions and displace people and or objects between them. This is how Becky 2 got into dimension where Becky Prime died in the bathtub and met Harry Prime.

>>86131
Ahh, so he's a hub for alternate dimension shenanigans then.... well he's awake and hadn't noticed two people sneak into his room so all we have with him right now are his musings. I can say lets think about stuff or peer into different dimensions but Im not sure what exactly he should be doing. Ill make a suggestion and lets see if we can get some better thinkers to help out.

>>86132

Doesn't hatman take care of him too? That could be something to work with... get him thinking

It's back, huzzah! Round 3, go!

I forgot the last bit of round 2 so I read it up again
Meat City is by John Lennon
Another Beatle's relation.
Even though Sombermann said the last Beatles song name "Deep Blue" was coincidence, I still can't but help to love the pattern.
I'm guess Sombermann loves the Beatles?

I've found two Lemon Tree songs

This video is for a much more recent song but the video reminds me of Strauss's powers with the whole being stuck in a moving room seeing everything.

This older folk song is about unreachable lemons and shit apparently. Also relevant to his character.

I am also curious how a quadraplegic from birth received a doctorate or if it's informal or not. Then again, he might not have been disabled from birth so I don't know where I got that assumption. The idea of pursuing a doctorate while dealing with the difficulties of not being able to do most stuff with your limbs is an impressive history. I believe Steven Hawking was able to walk for most of his graduate work, as he was diagnosed with his motor disease at 21.

I also forget Strauss's major, if it was stated. What's he a doctor of?

>I also forget Strauss's major, if it was stated. What's he a doctor of?

It was not yet stated.

Hey guys, next time we want to use Strauss to change something in the timeline, can we investigate everything that happened to the first incarnation of Becky when she died in the first chapter? Maybe also investigate the bullshit that happened when we used Sweet Child's powers on the blue timeline?

I'm curious what would happen if we teleport a single chain link out of Becky's handcuffs at that time. It's a really small, but insignificant change compared to fucking plucking out a bullet mid-air. Shit, we might as well do that as soon as she meets Harry. Harry will find the key eventually and then we can get the rest of the handcuff's off of Becky 1.
I wonder if Becky 2 will show up at all? She was teleported in by Strauss and I'm really curious about the whole chain of events that would transpire from Becky 1 and 2 meeting.

Probably a fight. I mean, come on, another version of yourself. There's ALWAYS two things to do with another you that you really can't do anywhen else.

so what's the hangup bro?

>so what's the hangup bro?

Right now im sorta in a very "floaty" position. It could happen that in the next week or so i will be gone for 1 year... serving my country. Im currently running all sorts of med-exams to avoid the draft. So cross fingers for me, if im not very lucky Sunset Hill Quest is up for a veeery looong hiatus... ;-;

>>86650

wait wait wait....why does your country need a draft? =/

I really hope you don't get caught up in it

>>86650
aw damn good luck mann

How is that military stuff coming along? haven't heard from you but saw you post

>>87007
right now i'm done with medical examination, so all that is left is wait for a decision from the draft board, it should be done by the end of the next week. fingers crossed

I miss you..... I hope you stay ok

I really hope this quest gets revived. It's Fucking amazing Sombermann.

I hope you're still alive and well
