Combo Contest: The Overdue Holiday Gifts Special

Post by Aeromage »

The festive season is over, the fancy dinners have been eaten, family have been seen, and gifts have been sent.

But oh no.

Oh no.

There's that one person you forgot! That one with the face (or not)! You can't just blow this one off by pretending it got delayed in the mail! Lili's running it too well for that to work! She might redirect some angry abstracts your way for even suggesting it!

No, the only thing for it is to make a gift so thoughtful, so extra-special, so them that they'll forget you ever forgot in the first place! Bascaradine's got a waiting line out the door, the street, and the disc, so they aren't going to cut it! And you need to do it quick.

Fortunately, as Arena Members, you can combo! Or if you aren't one of those, you're probably Arena-Adjacent enough to do combos! And if you can't, well maybe you should have thought about that before deciding to be yourself. Or maybe some special permissions might be granted for this flurry of beyond-last-minute giftgiving.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules

It's a contest! The object is to use the resources available to you to make the perfect gift for your assigned recipient!

Points will be awarded by our panel of judges on a scale of 1-5 on the following categories:
  • Suitability- How true to the character's theme and personality is it?
    Usability- Can they use it at their level? Is it properly suited to their level-bracket? Does it have weird ability requirements they just don't meet? You can't go giving somebody something they can't use!
    Potency- If it's gear, is it powerful? If it isn't, is it suitably fancy, expensive, or otherwise containing enough power-in-potential to make it worthwhile? Bear in mind, if the recipient can't use what they get, this should incur a penalty on this front.
    Utility- Does it play well with the recipient's strengths? Perhaps it expands upon their powerset, or opens up new avenues for abilities they have. Perhaps it's an item that works well with their chosen profession, or otherwise would provide great opportunities for them specifically?
The gift has to be the result of a combo made in this contest. No digging out something you think seems appropriate enough from your stash! That isn't thoughtful at all!

Don't just present the combo- give it a little flair! Things tend to be more interesting when you make it a performance. And the disconnect between intention and result can make for some dramatic twists!

Judges will be chosen from players' non-participating character roster. Players can't judge their own characters' results- they'll sit out that round.

The result of the combo will go to the designated recipient- it's meant to be for them, after all! No making up a fancy combo intended for one of your guys. That would just be gauche.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Awards and Prizes

We can't very well have a contest without awards and prizes, now, can we? Fortunately, our resident Santa Cael is well-stocked with very suitable prizes for this flavour of contest- namely, Giftboxes of all stripes.
People are encouraged to add to the prize pot as they see fit, or come up with other awards and prizes to grant.

Tiebreakers will be decided by the GRAND PANEL OF SANTAS. Or the closest equivalent we can come up with.

Kit - Please reserve one of your PCs to be a judge if you're up for that. This contest's judging format is going to work a bit better if every participating player has at least one judge.

Thank you to Cael for setting this up, and to everyone involved for participating. Once all of the interested players announce who they are entering / reserving for judging, I'll divvy up who is making a gift for what target. That's going to be public, unlike a secret santa, since judging will be public too.

Dulcinea, for REMALIUS
======================
Shoes that Never Get Sand in Them + 12 Crate of Stolen Desert Supplies and Finery + Sand Diamond + Celestial's Voice = Shoes of the Dancer of Charity (Footsteps of Song)

Shoes of the Dancer of Charity- (Accessory, Shoes, Light & Earth, 17,600,000 Gold) +9,500 Defense, +17,600 AGI, +17,600 SPI, 45% Dodge, actions or attacks that are Treasure, Wealth, Glitz, Commerce, or Grandeur element cannot inflict Charm or its sub-status effects on wearer, Opponents below Level 60 that are not 5 or more Levels greater than wearer cannot give wearer Gold without wearer's permission, Wearer obtains +720 to all stats as a buff that stacks 10 times that lasts 20 rounds if wearer either trades an item to an ally or places a buff on an ally, to a max of once per round

The shoes take the form of ballet slippers, but in drab browns and earth oranges rather than the more typical bright pinks, brisk whites, or powder blues. They radiate an aura of virtue and, over time, cause areas they are left in to be places where acts of selfless charity are likely to take place. Greed-based demons, devils, and other lower-planar entities find them repellant, and they serve as a ward against greed-based powers and temptations. The shoes boost grace and travel speed, but do so with less potency if on a treasure hunt or seeking some manner of reward.

Twofold Clockwork Volcano Range- (Item, Property, Earth & Technology & Fire & Ice, 97,500,000 Gold)

This is a small range of volcanic mountains, crafted such that their inner workings are made of clockwork machinery, complete with labyrinthine corridors to control rooms. From within the mountains, volcanic eruptions can be triggered, lava flows can be steered, and mountain heights can be adjusted. Should the right settings be toggled in four different places, the mountain range can either invert (so that it begins emitting lava down into some hollow-earth domain or planetary underworld), or can be adjusted so they produce cryogenic, flash-freezing fluids rather than magma.

Ryuutarou, for the Silent One
=============================
Golden Apple + Primordial Clay + Applesauce that Makes Genitals Vanish + 12 Huge Container of Fire Mana Oil = Spicy Apple-Flavored Ramen of Astoundingly Alluring Agamogenesis (Knowledge of the Best Ramen Recipes of the Decade)

Spicy Apple-Flavored Ramen of Astoundingly Alluring Agamogenesis- (Consumable, Food, Life & Earth, 1 Charge, 65,000,000 Gold) User obtains a non-stacking buff that prevents other entities that are not Level 80 or greater from forcing its possessor to summon things, that gives its possessor 30% Fire Resistance and 30% Flux Resistance, that allows its possessor to summon up to 5 Animals, Oozes, Cthonians, Aquatics, or Reptiles below Level 60 that are not greater than its possessor's Level at the start of each round, that causes its possessor to have a 300% chance of inflicting Charm on all opponents whenever its possessor summons an entity, and that causes its possessor, whenever its possessor summons an entity, to give itself a non-stacking buff that lasts until the end of the round that gives its possessor Immunity to Wounded

This bowl of ramen has shimmering, golden apple slices floating in a sauce that almost gives the impression of being brown-sugar-and-cinnamon flavored, accompanied by nearly-transparent, soft-white-glowing noodles. The ramen's flavor is exceptional, though it is assuredly apple-flavored, with hints of the expected cinnamon and sugar, but also accompanied by an astoundingly potent level of spicy hotness. The ramen's consumer is rendered unable to reproduce sexually, instead becoming able to ripple its form, transmuting the outer layers of its body into a soup-like, oozy-mass from which varied monsters - often with a primitive, primordial tilt to their appearance - emerge, with this monster-budding emitting a supernaturally alluring aura that enraptures and enthralls the minds of observers, turning them into dedicated guardians devoted to preserving what they see as the new source of all life and beauty.

Tolva glowers at the information pop-up before him.

Tolva is making a gift for Kit Timeshadow.

Really? Outta all the guys inna contest, it hadda be the fuckin' shiny-holy foxthing?
He rakes his clawed hands down his face.
And on toppa that, she owns pretty much alla fuckin' treasure, ever. How in the FUCK am I gonna make something that counts as a 'good gift'? Should I just make somethin' cursed to screw her over? But this issa chance to show how good I can make stuff...

The little demon scowls. Then he frowns. Then mental gears almost audibly grind behind those blank, angry eyes.

...she DOES like blowin' herself up inna big showy display of sacrifice for her friends...



Tolva gets to work, grabbing items.
Crowns, because all shiny-holy things think they're just that much better than everyone. A whole bunch of glowing nuclear sunfire. Deific crown-steel, to make sure the result ends up being a crown for the god she says she is. Excessively-holy, domineering ivory. Just-as-excessive crystallised shiny-holy hymns about how great she is for sacrificing herself like that. Encapsulated equations promising to break beyond the boundaries of reality. Glowing sunfire explosives. Lovely Blood Magic, set to be twisted to the (ugh) perverse ends of Good and the fox-thing's constant yelling about protecting people. A defensive spell, because he guesses he might as well put in some more of that to make it count as being a 'good and fitting' gift. And a whole heaping, mountainous helping of self-sacrifice.

Cracking his knuckles and calling upon his knowledge of a once-Sovereign-turned-Ascendant, he resolves himself. She wants to go out with a bang for the sake of everyone else? He'll give her a bang, all right.

Lady Rosaline merrily takes to the fore, handbag of materials in tow.
"A gift for one of the newest members of our guild! How marvelously serendipitous! Well, now, let's see here."
A finger taps against a masked chin, eliciting a ringing, crystalline chime.
"Interesting as the field of Nightmare Science may be, I am hopelessly unqualified to provide a gift on that front. Ms de Montreal has a considerable store of power, a deific stature, and an artifact that... ah! There's the idea I was hoping for."

The clockwork lady begins arranging materials before her.
"A simply wonderful artifact, indeed, and one reminiscent of a few legends I'm familiar with. And such lovely Aspects! I fear, however, there's a gap in the regalia it provides that I intend to fill, to some degree. Why shouldn't the Lord Fisherman have a crown? The trick, I think, will be in providing a unique and potent enough result within her current constraints of power. Let's see what can be done!"


A series of glittering crowns are arranged in a circular fashion around a central crown, an enormous, shining egg perched atop it. Godcrown Steel and Planecage Gold are arrayed around that, with Spatial Domain-Core-Linking Crystals set in the gaps, and equations to breach and blur the lines between boundaries set about them to allow for more leniency with regards to the power required by its user.

"I do believe the artifact itself has some not-insignificant relation to the element of Wonder, and so perhaps..."

Diamonds from the Hoard of Wonders are placed at regular intervals between the other materials. A spiralling pattern of Ocean Lures are set around the extravagant arrangement, leading into each of the Domain-Core-Linking Crystals.

"Good. And now for the tricky part. Linking the themes of water, fish, and property, and encouraging it all to mix in a way to provide the result a method to provide access to all the treasures one might find within!"

With a pirouette and a leap, the clockwork lady soars high above her work below, unclasping her Handbag of Holding and unleashing impossible quantities of water in six distinct directions.
To one core, she sends waters from the edge of the world. To another, an ocean that moves with its own will. To the third, an ocean of sealife whose forms are unreal to behold, and to the fourth an ocean of fish whose forms are unreal in the truest sense of the word. A shining, silvery surge of mirrored waters burst forth to surge into the fifth core, and to the sixth rushes an endless fountain of dreams and pure Wonder.

Lady Rosaline extends a hand. Through her will, these disparate parts will be bound together into a harmonious whole, channeling and offering up their greatest treasures to their master, as well as the treasures of all the oceans their master might encounter in the future.



Lady Rosaline's combo:


12 Crown of the Absolute Emperor + Leviathan's Egg + 3 Godcrown Steel + 3 Planecage Gold + 3 Adept's Horizon-Breaking Formula + 6 Spatial Domain-Core-Linking Crystal + 12 Diamond from the Hoard of Wonders + 80 Ocean Lure + 60 Waters at the World's Edge + Mobile Ocean + Ocean Full of Strange Sealife + Ocean of Illusory Fish + Mirror-Water Ocean + Wonderous Dreamfont = ???
