This is a little harder than I thought…
There’s a ton of cool characters whose powers would be awesome in their own worlds and conflicts. But applying them to our world and it gets a little more complicated to think it through. Basically every super powered warrior is kind of moot. Like it’d be fun to mess around a bit. But in terms of how it would correspond with real life means not a lot to me personally.
So with that in mind and having finished a second playthrough of Expedition 33… Maelle (spoilers for Clair Obscur. Seriously. Don’t ruin this game for yourself if you haven’t played it.)
[spoiler]Maelle or any of the painters can paint reality complete with life onto a canvas. To make worlds and living, breathing people and entities within them that I can freely interact with… that’s potentially limitless experience at my fingertips limited only by my imagination. And since others can come into the canvas too it doesn’t have to be a lonely existence either.
Granted if you’re not careful you can lose yourself to the canvas you create but… so?
Maelle has the benefit of having been born into a painting so she has insight that no one else has. Renoir and Aline have experience but too much detachment. Verso is a lying piece of poo. I don’t respect him at all. And Clea only sees things as weapons. So if I want to be a painter, Maelle is the option.
Just the thought of being able to paint my book as a world I could interact with personally. Yes, please.[/spoiler]
Option 2. I chose chaos. The Prince of the Cosmos from Katamari Damacy.
[spoiler]This one’s straightforward. Even though it would be less useful in my own life… some people just want to watch the world get rolled up. With my katamari, I will roll the whole world up. Transferring it from the ball of Earth, to the ball of my katamari. Even though without the King of the Cosmos it will never become a star, it will still establish peace: by rolling us all up into one beautiful Katamari.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I can see the ability to create a new world going one of two ways:
A. I create it, but it just never seems real, and so my interactions there seem hollow. Monika situation, though thankfully without the "being trapped within" bit.
B. That doesn't happen, and I just decide to bail on this one altogether to go live in the alternate world I've created because this world sucks.[/spoiler]
I know I said you're the only one who gets cool video game powers, but unfortunately I cannot allow you to roll up our world into a katamari. I have no choice but to try and stop you with my Mega Man powers. Which should be easy, I just have to stop you before the Katamari becomes big enough to roll me up, too!
