Good morning all

Fingers up: this post marks the end of ROUND 1. Here be your entries! (1/3):

Significant Appearance: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (2010)
Keywords: MSF, Past, Scientist

Albinism: When Dr. Strangelove occupies clear outdoor terrain that is not part of a starting area at the end of her turn, deal her 1 unavoidable damage.

AI and Robotics Genius: Perplex, Empower, Enhancement, Support, all only to target friendly characters with the Robot keyword. When she uses Perplex this way, she may target any friendly character with the Robot Keyword on the map.

DESIGN NOTES: Going with the first criteria, with a woman whose nickname was given because of her preference to other women in this sense. Which, given her existing around the 60-80's in the series, was probably quite strange to people indeed that she took pride in her preferences.

SO, given the Metal Gear series has other characters who both fit the criteria, and would make better non-support role dials, why did I choose Strangelove?

Simply put, her preference is not just tacked on as data, but an actual major plot point in the series because of her particular attraction to The Boss, a female war hero soldier she was trying to "bring back" from the dead as an AI, and it's her attraction to The Boss that fuels a lot of the story she's involved in through Peace Walker. So while there are other notable characters (Like Vamp in Metal Gear Solid 2) who have been confirmed as criteria meeting in canon for this, I felt Strangelove's preference being an actual story-mover in the series fit better, (partly because Vamp's bisexual status is barely referenced, opposed to Strangelove where her particular tastes got her the nickname Strangelove by her peers in series in addition to it being a major plot detail because of how it guides her actions).

So why bother with a negative trait? Well for one, big excuse for a point cost reduction, and two, her albinism actually does get frequent mention for some of her lore, like wearing heavy coats outside during the day, and explaining her initially taking interest in astronomy before later developing into AI development. (Her astronomy interest was explained as mostly going outside at night as a child, due to her skin burning easily in sunlight, and the coat was to prevent this when she needed to go out during the day.)

Fiercely Independent from the Board: Toughness. Leadership. Junlei can use Leadership on all Friendly characters with the Groundbreaker Keyword within 5 squares, regardless of line of fire.

This is my ship. Everyone is under my protection. - Defend.

Steady now, we're showing enemies ahead. - Enhancement.

You got this. - Empower.

I can help until we can get you to Sick Bay. - Support.

Significant appearance: The Outer Worlds - October 25, 2019.

Notes:
As soon as I saw the prompts for this week I knew Instantly who my dial was to be designed for.
I had to go back to The Outer Worlds! Junlei Tennyson is the heart and soul of the Groundbreaker. She's aware of just about every single part of her ship from the smallest bolt to the latest conflict.
Before I go any further, I'm not sure about the rules on flavor text, but I did it for myself and to flesh out her character a little. Apologies if it bugs anyone.
Junlei's Grandmother and the Groundbreaker were vital to the start of the Halcyon Colonies. The huge ship was converted into a space station and is currently a hub for trade and repairs.
She's the chief Engineer of the Groundbreaker and the chief Engineer of your ship, The Unreliable, is Parvati Holcomb.
And she wants to see the ship and meet the engineer.

Parvati is one of my favorite characters in the long list of Video games I've played over the years. There are a few quests there and at least two of those involve Parvati and Junlei.

Anyway the story of Parvati and Junlei is sweet and the writers did a wonderful job with their relationship. Both characters are perfect fits for this weeks prompt albeit for different reasons.

In Sept. 2020 I designed a dial for Parvati which I'm still very proud of. So this is a perfect time to finally make a dial for Junlei. I wanted to make one that complimented Parvati and would work with the other characters ( such as The Mardets.) that are tied into the Groundbreaker.
Someday I hope I can get a chance to do that.

Looks like an average girl: Stealth/Sidestep

I hate Bendis but I'll forgive one of his creations because its an ancestor of one of my favorite characters (and Clix).

So long story short. Shes a descendant of Jonah Hex who inherits a giant trunk of magical and futuristic relics that Jonah managed to collect over the years of his adventures. So she takes the trunk into the big city during an alien invasion where she jumps in to action with a shotgun because she's a Hex and somehow ends up on another world with her trunk and the members of Young Justice and long story short she joins the team. Later on back at her home, her ma passed away so shes running the family auto garage when her estranged father comes back to see her but the moment is ruined after you find out he's some immortal foil of Jonah Hex and he's after her trunk and her life energy to remake the world, well she eventually defeats him with the help of her friend but it leads to the discovery that she has his special blood too.

So because of her bloodline I gave her Mystical and Past keyword (especially so you can run her with her great x 5 grandpappy.)

She has a basic human dial and stats but she's a Hex so she needs to be tougher than she looks and able to put up a fight but I didnt want to make her too powerful because the gimmick is her trunk of treasures so maybe she'll have a ring, sword, gauntlet, or symbiote to give her the rub.

Although the romance between Tangle and Whisper isn't an exact canonical thing, its about as much of a couple as the SEGA mandates allow. Throughout the whole comic series, its obvious that's what the lead writers want to imply. Even the mobile game publishers poke fun at the situation, bundling the two female characters together for Valentine's Day offers the same way they do Sonic and Amy.

Design notes: Super easy to dismiss Midnighter as "Batman, but gay," but he's a ton more than that. Born in the late 90's/early 00's as part of the Stormwatch comics, I've always loved the Authority. It's a mix of JLA/Avengers archetypes. Warren Ellis took a typical superhero team archetype and said "we're not going to play for the status quo, we're going to play to make the world better." It was a pretty progressive comic, aggressively violent and funny while also having a good bit of heart. Anyway, this is Midnighter before DC absorbed the Stormwatch label into its main continuity.

The Realms of Hades are Ever-Changing: No players this game gain map choice initiative. Before the beginning of the game, gather a collection of at least 6 game maps, and choose one blindly. The chosen map is the one that must be played on.

Defy Death: Once per game, when Zagreus is KO'd, instead turn him to his final click. Roll 1d6 and heal him that many clicks.

Infernal Arms: At the beginning of the game, choose one of Zagreus's weapons. His Special Attack power “Aspect of Zagreus” is determined by which weapon he chooses.

Aspect of Zagreus: Refer to the chosen weapon.

Gift of Nectar: Perplex. Once per game, choose a friendly adjacent character and place a Nectar Token on their card. For the rest of the game, even if this power is lost, the character with the Nectar Token can use Enhancement and Empower, but only on Zagreus.

Toughness: No Matter How Many Tries it Takes
Regeneration: Aha, Yes, Carry On Everyone. Don't Mind Me.
Perplex: In The Name Of Hades...
Outwit: Olympus, I Accept This Message!
Probability Control: Each Exit Has Its Own Reward.

Zagreus, the son of Hades, is the protagonist of the game Hades, which - if you haven't experienced it yet, do so. ASAP.

For those not in the know, he fits this month's prompt because over the course of the game, you find out that Zagreus has romantic entanglements with both Maegara of the Furies and Thanatos, god of death. At some point before the game began, his relationship with each had soured to some degree, but you can restore that relationship with one or both of them over the course of Zagreus's many attempts at escape. You can also stir up a romance with Dusa, a Gorgon, who is depicted here as a floating snakelike head with snakes for hair. So Zagreus is about as pansexual as they come. Winged ladies, scythe-wielding dudes, floating snake heads... Zag digs 'em all.

I know there's a lot to read with this one, but I wanted to replicate the way Hades plays as closely as possible. Soooo....

1) Hades is a randomly generated dungeon game. The rooms assemble themselves in a random order so that your escape is never exactly the same each time you try it. In order to recreate that, I took map choice out of your hands when Zagreus is in play. How you choose to do this is up to you, but Zagreus makes you blindly pick the game board each time, making for an experience that may be different each time you play him!

2) Zagreus can survive getting killed, restoring a portion of his health and continuing the fight. In the game, you can upgrade this to multiple defiances of death. Here, it's just one, but that one is pretty darn powerful in and of itself.

3) While Zagreus can't pick where he battles, he can pick which weapon he brings to combat. Pick a weapon that suits your play style and Zagreus will accommodate. Whether you prefer range or close combat, Zagreus has plenty of options for both.

The various divine blessings you can accumulate over the course of your run felt a bit too much to replicate, so I gave him those nice Damage Powers to kinda sorta emulate some blessings. I also opted to leave his Casting out as that added an extra layer of complication to gameplay that didn't feel like it added as much as it should for how unwieldy it would be.

Hopefully Zagreus is to your liking, and if he makes you curious to check out his game, do so! It's a glorious experience.

Edited Manuscript (Probability Control)

Significant Appearance: Elizabethan England

Insight
First off I’m hesitant on assigning sexuality to historical figures unaware of the social construct as it goes against zeitgeist, but the evidence is what it is. Edward the Second paints the protagonist and Pierce Gaveston as star crossed lovers unjustly persecuted, not a common view among his contemporaries and centuries ahead of its time. Kit Marlowe was accused (posthumously?) of ‘Sins of Sodom’ but the credibility of his accusers is weak. Regardless, we know through written correspondence he was a spy for Elizabeth’s Master of Spies, Lord Walsingham, and likely faked his own death. This one proliferated blank verse before Shakespeare, and Doctor Faustus in particular has inspired a slew of comic characters namely Spawn and Mephisto(pheles). Whether he was same sex attracted or just an ally I count him part of the community.

99% THE SPEED OF LIGHT: Super Senses. Hypersonic Speed, but gains Passenger: 1 instead of Passenger: 0, but only to carry characters with a shared keyword.

TWIN CONNECTION: UNIQUE MODIFIER - If Northstar is adjacent to a friendly character named Aurora, both can use Pulse Wave, modify attack +1, and have SAFEGUARD: Pulse Wave. // When Northstar uses Hypersonic Speed, he can use Pulse Wave as FREE instead of making an attack if he is adjacent to a friendly character named Aurora.

While you think on these, consider the following:
ROUND 2 - World Oceans Day
Design a dial for a character with an aquatic theme
-or-
Design a dial using only blue shaded powers (blanks and SPs are totally fine)

Glub glub!

ROUND ONE VOTES

Hagath the Great: Northstar

RockyRaccoon: John Constantine

moonknight2099: Red Robin

HMs: brennan4: Gwenpool - I like the character and Jeff, but that dial is so bogged down with a lot of traits and specials for only 50 points. Would help if she were listed as a Unique or Prime to swallow such a pill of text. I don't think she's too POWERFUL for 50 points these days, but without being listed as Unique or Prime, a game would get bogged down fast with GwenHives, Jeffs, and a lot of card reading. Really all that cost her a vote was the walls of text for only 50 points, and relating that to actually using the dial in a Clix game.

Unique Decoy Octopus
Real Name: Unknown
Team: No Affiliation
Range: 0
Points: 30
Significant Appearance: Metal Gear Solid (1998)
Keywords: FOXHOUND, Spy

False Intel: When Decoy Octopus succeeds using Mind Control, place a False Intel token on the target's card [MAX: 3]. Characters modify their Attack and Defense Value -1 for each False Intel Token on their card, and Decoy Octopus modifies his Shape Change roll +1 for each False Intel Token on an attacker's card (A result of 1 still fails). // When Decoy Octopus is KO'd, remove all False Intel Tokens. Protected: Pulse Wave.

Misleading (Mind Control)

Non-Lethal Dispatch (Incapacitate)

Part Of A Larger Scheme (Mastermind)

Lives Up To His Name (Shape Change)

DESIGN NOTES: And you thought I couldn't do both prompts and still go with a Metal Gear theme, didn't you?

I even avoided giving him any powers that aren't the required colors as part of an SP or Trait, just to be on the safe side (in case someone would argue that's bending the criteria rules too far). The intention of his trait is by giving someone false information while posing as an ally, he makes them let their guard down and feel more at ease when they shouldn't, and makes it easier to "trust" him as he gives up misinformation. He's not going to take down Superman in a fistfight, but he's clever enough to set someone up for his own allies to take down.

The votes:

Junlei by GreenMan.

No idea who this is, but it’s very useful support piece nonetheless. To be fair, I’ve always been a fan of Defend, so there’s that too.

Jinny Hex by 2 Gun Kid.

Another character I’ve never heard of, but I do like Jonah, and that trunk of his is a neat power.

Dr. Frank N Furter by Limelight451

Tim Curry is very well done. I like the resurgence of the “use the D6 from this card for X” power that he has.

Unique Sobunar of the Depths
Team: No Affiliation
Range: 0
Points: 50
Keywords: Arakko, Politician, Ruler, Cosmic

Omega Level Mutant: Safeguard: Outwit. This character's combat values cannot be modified by opposing characters' effects.

Terraforming Mars: POWER: Destroy an adjacent terrain marker or square of blocking terrain. Instead of placing debris markers, place water terrain in the squares the marker occupied.

Dive in and prove your worth, unless you are soft cowards: Poison. When Sobunar of the Depths uses it, he considers characters occupying water terrain within 6 squares to be adjacent.

A Vote For Peace: Defend. At the end of your turn, if no friendly characters with the Arakko keyword made an attack, heal all characters within 6 squares 1 click. If they have the arakko keyword, they heal 2 clicks instead.

Seat of the Below-Us: Leadership, Empower Support. When Sobunar of the Depths uses any of these powers, he treats characters occupying water terrain as adjacent.

Plasticity-The ocean of my blood roars!
Poison-It teems with offspring of the Sobunar line.
Defend- Defend this Broken Land
Support-We've foes enought to fight without turning on ourselves and our own choices...

Significan appearance: Planet-Sized X-Men #1 (2021)

This si the second time in a row I've done a pretty weird dial this month, but I couldn't resist. The guy's mutant power is "having an entire oceanic ecosystem in his blood." What's not to love? Consider the Omega Level Mutant trait a preview of something I might be working on for a Destiny of X fanset...

Prideful votes!

1. Dr. Frank N Furter, Limelight451. All hail Tim Curry, baby.

2. Junlei, Greenman. Great to see GM back, and amazing to see this franchise/game represented. If you aren't familiar with it, imagine Fallout: New Vegas in Space and you're not far off. It's from that studio, anyway, and Junlei makes for a great support character.

3. Constantine, Rocky Raccoon. This is a more offensive version of Johnny than we're used to, but it's still a lot of fun. The My Talent is for Lying special is pretty perfect for how much he can hurt friends and enemies.

HM1: JM, Destructoboy. Props to your brother.

HM2: Zagreus, NoName. Too complex to get higher, but inspired choice and design.

Round 1 Votes:

Hagath The Great - Northstar
What a superb Northstar. Decent point cost and values appropriate to both his power level and level of importance, and perfectly synergistic traits that encourage playing him alongside Aurora. He's so good I've changed my plans for Round 2 to instead spread more Alpha Flight love.

moonknight2099 - Red Robin
I really like how he's got human-level stats (been seeing lots of 12s on mortals lately) but greatly enhances the team abilities of his friends. Pick-a-damage-power might seem a tad generous, but that falls into the age-old "how much time has Batman had to plan" debate, so it's fine.

No-Name - Zagreus
I like this dial a lot. The map scramble and weapon selection are two great features replicating the source game's structure. The potential return from KO to click #1 makes him seem undercosted, but that can also plunk him right onto click #5, easy to handle (as someone who played 120-point Ultron-1 a lot, I know how quickly things can go that way).

Honorable Mention: ComicJunkie - Christopher Marlowe
LostGaladorian, enamored of a literary dial? Well I never.
I really like his Mysterious Circumstances STOP click. It's such a perfect way to represent someone 'presumed dead.' His trait is so good that he's too cheap for me, so here he sits. And if you haven't seen Bill (2015), carve out 90 minutes and enjoy.

Insight
Wanted to continue to spotlight my queer heroes from history. This one happens to have written the tale on everyone’s lips these days although Disney has bastardized it beyond recognition. Not that Ursula isn’t one of the greatest antagonists in cinema, the title and the transformation are about the only things paralleled in the original work. If it is his most loved creation, it only edged out the other tales marginally. Disney has been mining HCA since the second his works hit public domain, Frozen being the most successful, but all have seen some form of theatrical release, although most strayed from the bittersweet conclusions he was famous for. We know HCA was queer because of the extensive journals he left behind. This guy hired prostitutes for conversation, wrote about his masturbation habits and what he was thinking of, and was asexual by choice. He was such a weirdo and I’m living for it. He’s also the most famous Dane since William III. Trying for both requirements considering he created two famous seafaring characters.
