if you were a boss fight, would you be a serious antagonist, a tragic foe, or a silly joke
@kitsch ◽ Serious antagonist, I'd hope, but with an undercurrent of "I'd rather not fight, but apparently it has come to this", but not really "tragically" so.
@kitsch tragic foe for sure
@kitsch (with about 20-30% joke)
@kitsch tragic foe, definitely in the "forced to fight by own nature" department. pretty solidly vampire I think?
I am and remain a goth ^.^
maybe it's just me that i feel like choosing only one of those isn't really going to feel right <<
@kitsch also, a vote in favor of prompts like this
@kitsch ◾ I… dunno? I think I'm going to have to go with TRAGIC FOOOOOE (especially if I get to be one of those scary orange dots on the map screen) *dramatic faint when defeated, sprawwwlwlwggrhghfg bleeehhh*
◽ … ◾ ? ◽ … ◾ What? ◽ *facepaw* ◾ ^..^
… do I get a last line of dialogue after ◽ NO
@chalcedony i quite enjoy this imagery ^^
i suppose another layer to "what kind of boss fight are you" could be is,
would you be an average-sized but powerful enemy, a huge imposing enemy, an otherworldly enemy,
...there's probably others that i can't think of atm. (i'm not sure i ought to spend too much time thinking about this <<)
@kitsch I'm the huge, oppressively powerful boss that turns out you can't beat straight on so you do some puzzling on the side and realize that the big baddy is actually just a mage using illusion magic and a LOT of debuffs
@kitsch ◾ ♪ The best part of going askew / Is when your ammo's you ♪ *evil cackle* *SHATTERSTRIKE!* *railgun of disassembler/takeover drackels fired toward the protagonist at high speed* *techno music with some kinda siren*
@kitsch ◽ *sigh, okay*
*strident voice* I may be small, but I am an avenging angel with _wings of fire_! Come no closer unless you seek incineration! *Searing Splitshield* *quiet, staid*
*protagonist steps forward*
… you still insist on trying to violate our sanctum? Then you have only brought this upon yourself, adventurer. May your end be swift and merciful!
*orchestral horn crescendo* *Haste* *Divine Premonition* *Formation Bugle* *Ranged Cancel* *Dragon Fire (takes 6 turns to charge)*
@kitsch I'd be that reluctant boss that only fights the player's party because i have to then join them later because I'm sick of how my boss treats me
