Copycat 01 - Who Should We Wear Today?
<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
[Name_Redacted] has woken up on a refugee ship, in a fantasy world where people have innate magical powers and wars seem to be going on. Countries are quite interested in those with good powers, and as it turns out, we have a protagonist-grade one:
We can become other people, yoinking their character sheet for our own purpose.
As most people in power would be greatly concerned to learn about such a person, it behooves us to blend in. To be sneaky and suave. Not that we have to, mind; you're the ones in charge!
Votes:
Name: Suggest a name for our copycat! This is one they'll be telling to other people, so it cannot be copycat. Default name is Secret.
Purpose: What is our immediate goal? (Freedom, Stability, Exodus, Power, Wealth, Knowledge)
Inclination: We can color our copycat's personality and outlook right now! Pick your two favorites. (Tabula Rasa, Kind, Flirt, Predator, Shaper, Goober, Aspirant, Hedon)
Game Plan: How are we getting off this boat? (Sister, His Problem, Stealth, I Have No Idea, Panic)
I wasn't really finding good plot threads with companion, and the story didn't really seem to be panning out for the sort of person we wanted to play. So, let's have one that IS suited to that, yes?
This one will be(at least in the short term) more about changing ourselves rather than changing others. If TF is so good, why don't you TF yourself? Etc.
Work is slowly moving towards reality. The initial signing check has been given to the bank, which they promptly said "hold up ST doesn't normally get paid large sums of money" and they'll let me have my money on Friday. So doing all the steps that can be done in advance; picking out apartments and cleaning up and preparing to have a life again. Wheeeeee!

Yay life! Good luck with that, hope everything goes well!
That's alright wrt Companion, onward and upward!
Name: Elor for now, lean into the idea that your parents named you and your twin sister together and had a thing for anagrams.
Purpose: Immediate goal is food, i.e. Stability. Longer term, I like Knowledge, in particular that which can be learned by experience. It seems that Copycat is relishing in their current shape, and would love to seek out the new and different.
Inclination: That simple joy of becoming something new is definitely Hedonistic. There appears to be Tabula Rasa, but hidden deep under that whitewashed surface is a Predatory hunger that our Copycat is trying to escape. (Take b a c k...)
Game Plan: Sister looks to be the best option, these papers look important. Let's stay twinned, grab the hand of our "sister" and keep her here to help us answer these questions.

Meant to comment earlier, oops! Happy to hear life is moving forward!
This was certainly a spoopy, neat beginning. Hooray!
Name: I'd lean away from Secret. It just screams that things are being hidden! Personally, I'm feeling something more like Echo, maybe. That could hint a bit too much at her power though...
Purpose: Well, the most pressing concerns appear to be needing a much nicer environment, not to mention food and drink. However, for a longer term purpose? Starting off by gathering Knowledge seems like a safe starting point. Figure out more about whatever conflict(s) are happening, what all of the non-soldiers (including Secret) are contributing to said conflict(s) should we work here at Sheltered Cove, and of course, perhaps find any clues regarding who or what she is/was, before she walk up on the ship. If searching for such information from her own mind isn't working quite right at the moment, perhaps getting a fresh and new perspective on it all is for the better, at least for now.
Inclination: Well, they certainly feel very much like a Tabula Rasa at the moment, perhaps with a dash of Goober in there, considering how copied Lore while waking up (by accident, or on instinct?...). For an actual direction for how their powers develop however, I'd say Tabula Rasa still, until we have more information and context to form a better goal and identity (or, identities). As for a second? Shaper sounds fun, however with as broken and shifting as their mind seems (with some odd hunger lurking for m o r e, when ever they try to r e m e m b e r), I lean towards Kind, if only because there is still strength in numbers, and the first thing Secret encountered upon waking was Kindness from Lore. For now, at least, perhaps that might have been imprinted on the little eldritch Secret.
Game Plan: Not sure I'd feel safe going the Stealth route, we still don't know what all is out there on Sheltered Cove. Rats can get eaten and stuff! While I think it'd be awkward to go the Sister route, seeing as Lore just said she has no family with her, throwing the individual behind us under the metaphorical bus, or revealing that Secret has few or no memories of themself, both seem like even poorer decisions. My vote is on the Sister option. Maybe Secret could act like it's a surprise that they're there, or that they're estranged siblings perhaps? Just gotta make sure to show the light power, not the shapeshifty one. That'd be real awkward!
