guess I've got my Champions character, Madame Gauss, done?

probably got points values wrong here and there, and I very much did fudge the supercomputer (yeah, HEDY, the very slutty AGI from my previous post, who wants to fuck Leila so goddamn bad it makes her stupid) in the university lab she uses as a base, but that's because I don't think a supercomputer's senses should have to be bought with points, and neither does HEDY

but she does now have two characters to work around, HEDY (allegedly "Heuristic Electromagnetic Diagnostics at Yottascale"), the aforementioned sexy fake-Austrian Old Hollywood-obsessed baddie computer, who works as a Rival Complication, and Mel, her paramedic girlfriend, who works as a Dependent NPC Complication and has her own two Complications (her job as a Social Complication and her constant chasing of an adrenaline high as a Dependency Complication)

Reorganized my TTRPG bookcase. It will overflow as soon as I take my latest purchases downstairs. Haven't figured out how to handle that yet.

In the lands of Savage Lands Of Agartha. Day and night doesn't follow a cyclic pattern no day and night are controlled by warring tribes of sun and moon elves it transitions from day to night every time one of them makes a decisive win in their nearly endless battles. When the night comes and the darkness spreads the world is dark barely enough moonlight to see your hands this is why fire tamers have become so important they keep the flames that allow us to see when the moon elves win.

Fire is the foundational element of tribal life. It is heat, it is weapon, it is medicine, it is religion, politic, food for body and soul and a ward against the dangers looking beyond your weak sight. But most importantly it is light

Light in this world is a currency made more universal than gold. The chafing dunes can practically bleed gold but without the light to see it or the heat to render it then the gold itself is worthless.

The people of this world never know when the darkness will come they can be working in the fields and suddenly they are plunged into darkness and in the darkness the demons come.

So too do the demons not know when the light will come back.

To this day people still search for where this battle happens Between the sun and the moon elves in hopes of either conquering both and taking control of the day and night for themselves or to bring harmony

Tbh endeavor is a great hero. Shit father but it's a canon thing that he is the best hero in Japan if we don't uknowlege the op ofa quirk users. He takes his job with full seriousness and is also a great teacher and mentor. Which is funny because as for the main character that is supposed to show how hero society sucks he is... a good hero. He is a good hero, boss, teacher. He doesn't even abuse his power. Sidekicks love and adore him. Him being a shit person has nothing to do with hero society. Him wanting to be no 1 and better than All Might is not societys fault. He is just a bad broken person because he is just a weak guy that went too far with his goals.

So when people say that Endeavor is prime hero example of hero society being broken I just want to ask... how?

Well, it could show how people use their reputation and public image to cover their horrible actions. The closest real-life example is how police officers can be loved by their peers and the public, then come home to beat the crap out of their families. Then said families aren’t believed because the public image is so strong. In a way, that’s how he uses his “hero image” and abuses his power. Sorry, but as this is a serious topic featuring abuse, I’d rather avoid diving too deep into Endeavor’s character, as it’s out of my field. At the very least, I would like to wait until I have more information on the subject.

I will touch on the Hero Society thing, though; People say that it’s the popularity system that turned Endeavor into what he was. However, from what we’ve seen, he just wanted to beat All Might as he was obsessed with him, like how Bakagou was obsessed with Izuku. The manga states that the hero business is very competitive, and we get a few glimpses here and there. Yet those are more like childish spats than anything serious. Because of that, it’s hard to take the line “heroing is competitive” seriously. It’s a story, however. So, to keep it flowing, the writing needs to compress some stuff into one character, in this case, Endeavor. However, Endeavor never uses the system to get what he wants. Is there a scene before All Might’s retirement that showed Endeavor caring about his popularity? Is he watching the ranks? Anything like that? I can’t recall off the top of my head. But in conclusion, Endeavor is an asshole because he wanted to beat All Might, who was stronger than him. It never had anything to do with the popularity system. Of course, I don’t remember every single scene in the manga, so maybe I missed something. If someone has more information, then, by all means, share.
