VN Ren'Py Origin Story [v0.8.2] [JDOR]

I mean to break her and have her as a sub, so she knows what feeling lesser is like for a change.

Just wanted to say that the whole point of Lucia's backstory is she already knows what that feels like due to years of being treated that way because of the camp prank. But unlike Evelyn, she didn't have friends to support her, so she built her armor and bitchy persona to keep others at a distance instead.

 

[Elduriel]

It happens in chapter 1 with Kyle in the park. He confronts 3 guys who he knows are big time bullies (and bigger/stronger than him) to stop them beating the shit out of that kid; they beat the shit out of him too for his trouble. Then after the survivors run away he goes and sits with Mr. Thermonuclear Device, knowing he could get killed the same way as the bully, and calms him down until what he thinks the good guys come to help him. He also stands up to the most popular bitch in school who he knows can cause him misery to help out a total stranger, and then steps up again with a teacher and the dean to help her out.

Who exactly is walking all over him? The ones with powers who can turn him into a smear of high-protein minestrone with a thought? That seems to be the prudent thing to do for a guy with no powers most of the time, yet he still stands up for people who can't defend themselves against those people. I guess you are just a bigger tough guy than him.

even when he gets his powers he is not supposed to use them in public, so he doesn't, so yeah, he gets sucker punched in the bar, but again, why? Standing up against bullies/assholes.

Yeah, as I said earlier, her love route is SO much better that the manipulation route

 

[anonnyscouse]

He doesn't really get better, up until the end of Chapter 8 when Lady Steel has her fight with Chokehold. Unfortunately it's too little too late for us. Maybe he'll grow a spine in later Chapters.




He does so as a kid, when he's up against bullies, yes. But I also got the feeling with him that he could have taken a much more active role (physically in particular) with the story.

Maybe it's more in the way he does it - rather stupidly, instead of thinking how best to attack a situation. Chapter 8's conclusion is a perfect example of this, when he's almost killed attacking Chokehold without any powers whatsoever. He's not exactly portrayed as a smart guy.

What game did you play? Before chapter 8's conclusion, he stood up for Kyle, Cat, Lake and Ev, in all cases he risked his personal safety to stand up for them. I'm not sure how he can be classed as lacking a spine at all.

Yeah for real.

I didn't even realise the love route existed until this last update. So I ended up going back and doing a fresh run again to try it. And it's now taken over as the main run for me. Such good shit honestly.

Yepp, same here!

Thanks Elduriel

praise URM, that's how I realized what a difference that choice makes. I initially didn't have a non-manipulate save either, but a while back I checked out what that variable does, now it's my canon route for her, it's a much more satisfying story compared to some extra lewds.

 

[Elduriel]

Now I'm just waiting for Isabella to show up again I kinda liked her character.

 

[Jaga Telesin]

and what power should he have used, pray tell. He saw the whole fight and the "conversation" with Ruth. Wolf is useless. Cat's is useless and he can't even use it consciously yet. Emerald's is useless (he only does it out of desperation at the end as he is about to die and then only accidentally finds her weak spot). He could blast her in the face and Chokehold would shrug it off. The outcome would have been the same in any case.

Any power really. I would have chosen Emerald's to blind her temporarily, to get Steel out of the cage. Him jumping on her back was just the epitome of stupidity - she's literally a tank. What he did served as a story mechanism to ferret out her weakness, but it was really, really stupid of him to try. Hell - he could even have used his wolf to temporarily distract her. Or maybe used the create item ability to put shackles on her legs holding her in place (they supposedly don't move unless he moves them).

Lots of options, but he did the one most likely to get him killed. Not smart.

i can't really summon wolf and have emerald power thingy so mc has me beat there

Also yeah i do agree that mc doing that was a brave thing to do but that still doesn't mean that his character is'nt like a wet towel

I am not here saying that he should beat the fuck out of other people stronger that him nope

I am just saying that in normal conversation it shows how mc talks and everything it just makes him look like a wimp

I just don't like how he gets folded in conversation while literally any other character has more respect or authority than him in some way or another.

Game legit reminds like 100 times how mc is a virgin again and again and again and again like dude i get it he is a virgin

Mc just comes of to me as a brave ,dumb idiot that doesn't have any agency in his life and neither intelligence because his brain hurts after listening to like 4 sentence of explaining how his powers work. His heart seems to be in good place though so thats something.

Like literally what dude has going on for him expect his powers ? The only think i can think of is his jokes

Dude has no intelligence , is dumb as rocks and has self esteem issues because he cant tell why would emerald and georgia would fuck him like he also doesn't fucking ever acknowledges that he has a monster schlong.

I know he is a virgin so that explains some of his character traits but like dude still a little self respect ? Riley calls him a virgin to insult him and all my dude could muster up was some joke how that she can pop his cherry. Call her a slut maybe or poke fun at her "dancer" job instead my guy reassures her that a job is a job nothing to be shameful about if it pays well. While riley pokes at him for being a virgin which mc is self conscious about.

No fucking wonder he has a fucking low esteem when his landlady brings guys that can fuck her and he can literally hear that every night. Parker respects riley enough to not bring guys when she is at home but not mc no no no he hears her moan like a cuck while literally being attracted to her

Many characters in the game, from a verbal perspective. I can't count the number of times I would have walked away from a conversation while in his place. That's probably the biggest weakness I see from him, much more so than physical. From a physical action perspective, he's more stupid and brave than effective. But "spineless" can be attributed to his conversations with others just as much as anything else. It's a general feeling I got from him - he's not a super wimp, just not assertive at all.

he was behind her, and I don't think it blinds people... even if they gain a few seconds that ain't gonna save them
the wolf does nothing to her, she just kills both anyway with a punch (granted I don't know if the wolf can die without MC dying but the point is moot)
even if he shackled her hands (why would he go for the legs), she will just choke out (lmao) Ruth anyway, her hands were already there.
There was literally no scenario in there where they would walk away, regardless what he does (except not going into the ring)

 

[Rehwyn]

I don't want to jinx anything, but it's been two or three relatively quiet update cycles for this game, I think. No "Tag Wars" and thread lock like back with... Ch 5? I think?

Maybe we've achieved a critical mass of fans or something. That'd be nice.

No fucking wonder he has a fucking low esteem when his landlady brings guys that can fuck her and he can literally hear that every night. Parker respects riley enough to not bring guys when she is at home but not mc no no no he hears her moan like a cuck while literally being attracted to her

Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have opened my mouth.



Edit: In all seriousness, MC acting all "alpha" at everyone that makes a harmless joke at his expense would make him look a lot weaker to me.

Yeah, you can find a middle ground. But being able to laugh at yourself and not letting inconsequential stuff like that stick to you is also a powerful thing that takes self-confidence to do.

The fact he is a virgin is a major plot point though, it's the whole reason why he is still a "normie" if he wasn't a virgin then he wouldn't be a normie, it's not unusual for a story to hammer home a major plot point multiple times to make sure readers understand it.

So someone teases you about something relatively innocuous like being a virgin and you think the response should be to call them a slut just because they dance for a living? That's not having a spine, that's being a cunt.

Is it ever stated in story that Parker deliberately avoids bringing guys home while Riley is home, or is it just that Riley is working nights so is out more often than home so has missed the nights Parker has brought guys home. It's also indicated that Parker is unaware of how sound travels through the house, we know she's paranoid about MC finding out about her masturbating and is sure he doesn't know about it, but we also know that MC has caught Parker masturbating at least once. We also have no clue whether Parker is aware of MC's crush, in fact all indications are that she is totally unaware so she isn't bringing guys back to make him jealous. What would he do if he wasn't spineless in your view? Walk in on her fucking another dude and saying "I know you're my mother figure but I want to fuck you myself so stop bringing guys back to your own house because it's making me uncomfortable even though I'm technically just a guest here"?

Mc mentions that parker doesn't bring guys home when riley is there

I don't want mc to go fuck parker she can get gangbanged for all i care my main problem is how mc handles conversation and banter

Riley is a stripper and makes fun of mc being a virgin the least he could do is call her slut for the fun or joke or as a jab at her.

Again Riley works nights so she is out most nights, it could just be that Parker stays in and watches movies with Riley when she's home, or it could just be a coincidence, unless we get Parker saying it herself we can't know if it's deliberate.

Parker is a single woman bringing guys home to her own house to sleep with them. MC calling her out on that would not be MC having a spine that would be being a cunt, slut shaming her for no reason as Parker is doing nothing wrong. As I said previously all indications are that Parker has no clue that MC has a crush on her so she isn't deliberately making him jealous.

Again, calling someone a slut is a massive insult, calling someone a virgin isn't. One is a major insult and the other is harmless banter, bantering back and saying she's obsessed with his virginity because she wants to take it is a much better response than straight up insulting her.

That would be out of character for the AVN. A big theme of the AVN and MC's character is not shaming women for being sexual.

I'm sure MC might eventually call Riley a slut. But only after they're fucking, and if she likes it. See Evelyn and Emerald for example.
