VN Ren'Py Superhuman [v0.999] [WeirdWorld]

not sure about artificial vs natural evolutions yet .
Sounds to me like the original HERO 5 were all naturals(as there were no serum back then), and they are OP as fuck. Clark and Alexis might've just used stims, the usual stuff that allows to go nuts but you crash heavily after, but reached evolution tiers naturally(they seem like veterans, so they had enough time and opportunity). Who is confirmed artificial superhuman ? Claus' trio(and soon to be Tiffany, I guess?)? As opposed to MC, Alice, and Michael, who all got induced naturally

I'm more intrigued by insight into MC's abilities this episode.
It might be that his core ability is not shapeshifting(which would be Ella, most likely) , but "reading" and recreating from stored "blueprints"(remember Archer from Fate Stay Night?), while he himself is an energy entity of some kind that just creates physical form for itself from such blueprints. Hence the violent reaction to electricity (as it screws with his energy-to-body connection).
But MC is too dumb to use "reading" part on the conscious level, so it ends up looking like shapeshifting,

Ella, Xanthe and even Nico stated that it was artificial evolution for Clark and Alexis. Xanthe saying that his serum grants Evolution and hasn't failed. Nico saying she wants the same thing he gave those 2 and not the defective stuff he gave Klaus. Ella herself, saying they evolved mid fight. It's safe to assume that they reached lvl 5 via the serum like Ella did with the purple one she stole.

As for the Artificial Superhumans, that doesn't seem like it effects them much but they may not be able to get more expansive abilities. That's mostly speculation from me but with how evolution works for those who have monster parents, it seems like they give you knowledge and power as you evolve. Meanwhile, artificial superhumans, I assume, doesn't get any of that because the monster is most likely dead.

When it comes to who's artificial. That would be Klaus, Tiffany, and probably a lot of the agents in Hero. Probably not the original 5, mind you, but those with a lot of generic overlapping abilities. Everyone else, who recently joined Hero, seems to be natural superhumans. The others would be MC, Ella, Oscar, Danica, Deryl, Jake, Alice, Michael, Demi, and so on.

Overall, I don't think the artificial stuff really degrades them, too much, for both. Whether they became a superhuman via a monster corpse or evolved to higher lvls via a serum.

The MC will only successfully go rogue if Deus and Nico decide they aren't going to bring him back.

Nico can't really do anything if MC goes rogue, he can just disguise as the dead scientist he eated(i eat in this case) and just be gonne, after that Deus is the only one that decides his fate, because as far as we know he is the only one that can for sure know who the MC is, and as far as we know Deus was the one under suspicion of omitting information about the MC, that is touched at when Deus doesn't say anything about MC identity being discovered, so yeah, Deus at the moment is the only thing keeping the MC in check.

I think that the core difference is what Ella says at some point, when a sups evolves he can split appart from his maker, meaning that he can acquire powers that his makers could never do, meaning that for example ella at her lvl4 could transform other people and other things, something that her makers couldn't do and her lvl4 was reached naturally, so one could say that if you reach it naturally your powers wouldn't get only stronger but have a chance to become a variant of your maker and do things they simply can't meanwhile the artificial evolved only get a power up like Alexa that after the serun all that happened was a power up where her spike increased in size...
But that can only be confirmed for sure in the next episode with some more indepth look at the makers themselves.

What is the superhero name of your main character?

I named mine "FuckFace" it suits him, in a way. Besides, it's always funny when people talk about "FuckFace" as a superhero

i named mine Wraith

[necromater]

Mine Dagon cus tentacles and being a horny bastard.

 

[Incombat]

I'm definitely naming him "Jackie" in my high corruption run

 

[Deleted member 1474714]

On one hand Jake is gone in my full corruption run; on the other hand Danica is back in my 0 corruption run...
Well, guess my mc will be joining the good guys side after all. As uncle Ben once said: "with great power comes great responsibilitits"

Imagine simping for a low tier girl like Danica.

I've said it multiple times but my hero name is "Darkness" after the game/comic series. It fits my antihero playstyle and everyone in game sounds edgy when they say "the world needs Darkness".

I called mine Nir. It's short, easy to remember and sounds superhero enough.

 

[Lobo420]

I guess you are fan of "Terminus Reach" I am also a fan of other Talothral game "Sorcerer"

Terminus reach is a Good Game & so was Sorcerer sad that it was abandon.

but no my Hero's name wasn't inspired by Either Game, it is from a 1986 movie called The Wraith

I gotta say.... I'm digging the Alex Mercer of this all.
The problem I had playing through this for the first time is... the anime approach to it all.
At the cost of making this a little more linear a story, I think some more characters could and honestly should've been killed off.

Yes, many dead ends from what I saw, but stakes still doesnt feel "there", since the "big bad" of it all never showed up once, (this is very anime, so it aint Ella), and the trope of "backup team with wide ranging powers but weaker" trope being there, yet no one really dying is kinda breaking the tension a bit.
It's a bit sad that super training ( at every chance you get) didnt seem to make a whole lot difference.

Other than that, cool story. Art is AI generated at many places, if I'm not mistaken?
I can see the stable diffusion-like backgrounds at places.

Edit: I named my guy Prototype, since ffs, that's like almost a one to one copy.

 

[holzheimer1993]

I named him Biological, it was a class in armorgames' Sonny. It made sense, his prowess is both physical and he generates venoms and poisons. Just like the class did.

We've already seen the big bad(s). The Numbered Monsters are the threat of the game. We've also seen the most powerful creature in the Glowing Eye monster from the Dead End with Ella, the MC's dream after Evolution lvl 2, and this update with Valravn's flashback. That's most likely the strongest being in the game.

You might've missed the 1st, 3rd and 4th Numbered appearing more if you don't play into corruption. You'll definitely see the 2nd after Michael beats the lightning monster.

Anyone willing to make some notations of all the monster speech when you have high corruption?
My main save isn't 0 corruption, but it's less than 20 even by the end.

 

[Neverwonder]

I Just named mine Black Sebas simply because it sound cool

 

[Demandred20]

I named my hero Darklight in my first run and the name stuck so now he is "Darklight" in my head.

No problem. I got you below. I might post all the numbered monsters again too since I haven't added the 2nd to the post.

"Weakness. Disgusting. Kill the weakness inside you. We are mean't for- Eat. Consume. Consume everything. You need to consume everything. Every option, every opportunity, consume. Because if you don't... More. We need more. Every opportunity. Every single one. Always devour. Always. Our end requires it. Absolute power. It's within our grasp. But we cannot abide weakness. And above all- Above all. Above everything. We need to devour. Fate- Fate has provided all. All the nourishment we require... It has laid out for us. All we need to do is take-"

And that's it. That's all what the Monster said throughout the dream sequence this update. I might have missed one of the dialogues but this should be all of it.

Also here's my corruption playthrough stats for those curious:

Power - 83 Skill - 18 Corruption - 24

Mine´s Black Knight.

Yeah the fight against Valram was an experience
