VN Ren'Py Origin Story [v0.6.0] [JDOR]

[RC-1138 Boss]

What she explained in CH5 was how to select a host, but it obviously takes a little practice because MC failed. The way her power works is that her host is random (among who she's touched) unless she selects a host. As far as control, that's literally the only thing she has control over with her power. Once she's asleep, she's scrying someone she's touched, whether she wants to or not.

She also has no idea what's going to happen in that precog dream. She could brush against a domestic abuser or victim in the store and have to live through some pretty despicable events basically a captive audience with full sensory engagement. So really the only way to avoid undesirable dreams for certain is to never touch anyone. She can at least mitigate it be trying to avoid touching someone she knows is abusive but as she explained, that's not always possible.

Thinking about it, even with all the practice to learn how to control which person she will relieve their day this is still a really shitty power.
She can't simply shut it off, she is forced to see the events of someone's previous day every time she goes to sleep. No ~8hours of blackness or strange dreams or even nightmares for Evelyn.

It says a lot about her state of mind that Evelyn haven't gone insane or decided to completely shut off physhical contact with other people by using long clothes and gloves or decided to hide herself in some cabin away from people.

Personally, I don't think that power is as bad as you say. Espionage to gather information with the use of that skill can be very beneficial to not only companies but also governments. Also, lets not forget those who are small time thieves and break the law.

The one thing I'm curious about in regard to her power is if she touches a target and isolates herself from other people for a period of time, will she continue to see the previous day events of that same person during the isolated time??
If the answer to that is a firm yes then as long as she doesn't take time sensitive jobs, she can gather a lot of intel on anyone.

I don't think they were saying her power wasn't potentially useful, just that dealing with the side-effects of it could be very difficult on her mental and emotional state.

As for the second part, I asked jacq a while back in the Discord what happens if Evelyn goes the whole day without touching anyone, and his answer was she doesn't get any pre-cog visions.

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Considering one of your friends, I suspect that's not a bug ...

If you watch the door in the early parts of the scene you can see it open and close as well. It's 100% Amber coming in and out. Or the MC has another invisible stalker.

For the door closing it's suggested it's Amber...

It's also why your clone seem to fall over (is suggested), I need to check that last one again myself.

I figured as much, it makes sense, but I don't want to be 4 more chapters in thinking "When's she gonna mention it?" and have the dev go "Update, fixed the closing door during the sex scene"

 

[Capt. Obvious!]

I would love to have an update 6, where dev writes he fixed the opening door bug in the update. So everyone would be going back to check it... It would be more interesting for us, if we could somehow see a contour of amber...

I don't disagree that her power affects both her mental and emotional state which can be seen in how slutty she is being towards the mc now due to her exposure to sexual stimuli. RC-1138 was dismissive of that power overall which is why I responded pointing out how it's useful. It'd be more useful if it could last longer but it seems that in order for her to continue monitoring the same person she'd need to refresh her contact with them daily which would put her at risk eventually.

I was not being dismissive, just pointing out the nature of the mental toll it could take, like Rehwyn said.

Interesting. As i was imagining the only way to shut it off would be to close any physical contact with other people. That must be hard.

 

[Rehwyn]

Yeah. And I don't think it's ever actually been specifically stated if wearing a thin barrier like gloves or long clothing would work. For all we know, direct skin-to-skin contact might not be needed, just very close physical proximity.

Good update! The scene at the end was really good I'm not normally into those types of scenes but I really liked it. with the power he got from the copy girl in the bathroom will he be doing that with other women in the future?

It probably depends on how quickly he can learn to control it. It was more of an accident that he managed to create a clone this time, since it seemed he wasn't able to do it again on command.

 

[Nezron]

I have a bad feeling that the MC is not going to get very many good powers. Like the know fantasy power, or the orgasm power, probably won't get the super strength either.

other than his own power (to gain multiple powers) which is very cool,
only real power he has gotten so far is emeralds power. the others... big deal, he has a wolf, get to dream about what someone else did that day, and can make 1 duplicate of himself (and that is just a cheesy way to add NTR without it being real NTR), or maybe a way for the developer to have his double do gay stuff with other guys (hope not)

IF he does figure out how to make more than one of himself, then it will just be a way for the developer to let LI's get gangbanged.

I hope I am wrong and the MC gets some cool powers, we will see.
peace

 

[e6mill]

get to dream about what someone else did that day

No, it's dream about what someone is GOING to do tomorrow. And they will remain none the wiser. It's actually got potential to be quite OP.

ok, I did get that wrong, but don't see how that is going to be very useful, maybe for blackmail or something like that. And I don't like blackmail.

so how do you see it being useful?
peace

 

[Reniere]

Evelyn's Power has positives and negatives.

Positives- If touched the right person
MC could see possible threats or find out info
MC can prevent dangerous things from happening (only with that person )
there is alot more possibilities but you gotta touch the right person.

Negative- Touching the right person or not
Seeing things like people fucking if your not into that( User based )
Witnessing Murder or sexual abuse
Seeing your bestfriend fucking a blue chick ( lol )

There is positives and there is negatives, It all depends on the person or how dev decides to mess with us.

Since Ruth / Lady Steel is classified as a main girl love interest, I'm inclined to believe the MC will get super strength. He might have to be a little creative about how he goes about getting it mind you, at least until he unlocks "unbreakable spine" or "cock of steel" to avoid being crushed to paste.

You really aren't seeing the potential those powers have with just a little creative application.

First of all, "big deal, he has a wolf" - that wolf is a psionic projection. Not only is it likely stronger and faster than a real wolf of its size (and it is pretty big), it's also essentially immortal. It might be put down / out of action, but as long the the MC is still alive he should be able to summon it back (perhaps after a delay, who knows). If it was just a simple "Oh, it's a big doggo" type power then Moonsong wouldn't be able to hold her own and hang with the Sisterhood girls. She isn't Batman.

And the clones are stupidly powerful. They can do anything he can do. So they can use Emerald's power. And they can use super strength when he gets it. They could potentially summon their own psionic wolves too. If we assume the gallery is canon, Cat (the clone girl) has a picture in there with her and 4 clones about to "service" Emerald, so let's say 4 clones is the limit. That's 4 disposable clones able to potentially use every power the MC has at once. They might even be able to use his own power absorbing power themselves and transfer it back to him.

Evelyn's precognitive scrying thing is a bit weird (and it's more likely to be the NTR power than the clones), but also extremely powerful if properly used.

He's also going to get cryokinesis, invisibility, and Ghostraven's enhanced physical abilities. Those all belong to main girls so it's more or less "guaranteed" those are in.

He'll also potentially be getting time stopping (although it comes with severe drawbacks if you abuse it like a moron), hyperpolyglotism (perfect for a superhero on the go around the world), telepathy, intangibility, pyrokinesis, replication, and Marina's sexual desire knowledge power (which is admittedly probably mostly useful to obtain more power). All of those belong to side girls, so there's no "guarantee", but at least a few of them are likely.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Right now i am more interested in knowing what limits will be put to Jack's power. Right now he can copy up to four powers at the same time so i am inclined to believe time may be the limiting factor here.

I don't think we know if they'll be able to use his other powers or not, since Cat only has that one power, and he didn't try to use any others with his clone when he had one out. The fact he got the power from Cat's clone seems to indicate the presence of metagenes in the clone though, so it's certainly a possibility.

That's true, but if they are straight up clones (and like you said, they seem to be since the MC got Cat's power by fucking one) they should be able to use anything the MC can with the possible exception of something requiring mental focus or thought to use.
Like, I'm not entirely sure if they could use the wolf power, since that's a whole mental link thing and the clones are just puppets without an ego. But something like "Hey Clone 1, break that guy in half while Clone 2 uses green sparkle power!" should be totally doable.

Well you and I are looking at his powers differently. If this was a TV show like The Boys, then yes all that you said is true and great for the MC.

Now if this is a porn game, and it is, then those are not that useful for getting more girls. Now knowing a girls fantasy and being able to get her addicted to just your touch (because it gives her mind blowing orgasms) then those are powers I WANT my MC to have.

I did not even give the Timestop girl the time of day... I did not agree to be her photographer, she is a Bitch and I don't even want her power, it is a rapey power like invisibility, don't want that one either.

And for the porn game I don't even want super strength, on the off chance it could end up hurting one of the girls.

Now other powers that would come in handy, are Teleportation (to take girls to nice places), Flying (girls would like that as well), Super endurance (he just keeps going and going, nice for ability to make lots of girls happy)

Do you see where I am coming from now?

I hope not then its Heroes all over again. having to copy powers over and over again when you overwrite the current one.
