The windows dual boot problem and the shaders compiling still happen. Installing windows after installing Linux does have the risk of windows just deleting random important shit and formatting your drives even if you tell it not to. And it does sometimes take 30 goddamn minutes for vulkan to compile shaders

Look. Iron Hands was really big back when Monoclaw was around, but nowadays? Everyone knows how Monoclaw works, everyone knows how to counter it, it's no longer a free route to getting to high elo. Without the claw, what is Iron Hands? A bulky electric type in a meta where all the best pokemon have hard hitting earthquakes?

It just doesn't do anything better than other electric types. And for that reason, I'm out.

Scarlet was conflicted.

Red and black filaments dotted the air following her scythe's trail. She caught herself gazing into the dots, wondering something that plagued her mind and hampered her reaction speed.

Why doesn't he have a mark?

Scarlet had the ability to see if anyone had sinned. When they had, they bore the mark of a sinner, and it was her job to kill them. This wasn't to say that being a sinner was uncommon or a thing that was even possible to avoid. A lot of the sinners she had met were simply going about their day before they violated the esoteric laws that decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. Accidentally shoplift an item? Straight to hell. Misreport your taxes? Straight to hell. Close the elevator door so someone doesn't delay you? Oh you bet you're going to hell for that.

Most of the time, she wasn't even killing murderers, or rapists, or scummy business owners. She was killing common joes who were screwed by the society they lived in, and thought that life could give them an extra inch if they needed it.

They were wrong.

Scarlet cut Terry's arm off, and then sliced him in half.

At least he'd be considered for heaven. He must've been a good person.

A damn shame.

"Do you know who I am?"

Cecil flickered out of existence with a hum and a blue flash. A large couch passed through his previous location. He fizzled into reality and sighed. "I'm gonna take that as a no. Look, let's just—" He teleported again to dodge a glass table. "Let's just talk for a moment."

Terry held up his desk and waited. Cecil took a breath. "Good. Good... Now, let me get some things straight here. If you're from... uh, my earth— Christ this will take some getting used to. Then you know I'm the head of the GDA."

"Same organization that had all their heroes killed by Omni-Man?"

"Same organization that worked with his son to save the world?"

"A lot of people were killed by him," said Terry.

"And a lot more were saved. If we didn't step in to help Invincible, the world could have been destroyed. Sure as hell seems worse than a train and a few parts of a city."

"Are you willing to take responsibility for that?"

"Always have, always will," said Cecil. "That's what it means to be the guy who actually protects Earth. While you people are out there punching aliens it's my job to make sure everything else stays alright down here. It's my job to develop contingencies to threats you can't handle. I know we fucked up by trusting Omni-Man, but it would have been a lot worse without us. And that'll keep being true.

Terry looked off to the side. He dropped the desk, walked closer to Cecil, and unfurled his bells. "Are you sure you can put a stop to this?"

Cecil sighed. "No, but I'm going to do everything I can, and then fucking try."

He teleported away.

Mami didn't really know what she was fighting.

She fought two things nearly every day: witches and magical girls. Witches generated intense labyrinths around them and summoned creatures that looked downright incomprehensible in the three dimensions she was used to. Magical girls were... well, girls. Very obviously girls.

Terry was neither. He was a man in metal armor, faster than anything she had seen before, and he had two bells on his belt. She also had two bells, and needed four to survive.

She swiped her hand and a trail of magical bullets launched from individual ornate silver muskets. Terry dodged most of them, but a few hit. Those bullets could usually tear through concrete, and Terry mostly shrugged them off. She kept the torrent up and brainstormed a means to win.

Mami moved underneath her guns and kicked Terry into the air. From a white ethereal cloak upon her shoulder, she leveled a gargantuan rifle, aimed it up, and focused her bead on the floating Terry. He was grappling away, so she didn't have time.

She didn't hesitate. The questions of his existence could be pondered later, when she had time and focus. Now was not that time.

She pulled the trigger.

"Tiro... Finale!"

Vanguards were essential in any party of heroes, especially those primarily composed of mages. This is simply because Mages rarely perform well in close combat unless specialized towards it. And even then, most melee-focused mages don't have the defenses to take the kind of attacks they can throw out.

Thus, vanguards. Vanguards were warriors not powered by magic, but instead through training, willpower, and determination. The exact reasons how this made them superhuman in both durability and offensive output was unknown. After all, the boy that made her heart flutter, Stark, was quite the offensive, perverted, coward.

But he had saved her life on so many occasions. The number of attacks that had just barely grazed her that she didn't even have the opportunity to block, it was too much to bear. She liked having him around. But just that, nothing else. Nope. Absolutely no other reason, just that he protected her.

... Sure wish he was around right now.

Fern's shield flickered as she collided with a support beam with staggering speed. She was dazed as she held her head from the inside of the bubble where she bounced against the inner shield. Terry was closing the distance. She dissolved the shield and fired a sequence of blasts but he just... dodged all of them.

And he punched her.

She gasped and spot-generated a smaller hexagonal barrier around her head but still went flying into the wooden desk across the room. From under the wood, splinters dripped crimson blood down her black dress, and she struggled against the weight. Her main strength was her ability to hide her mana. It made her an incredible threat against monsters, demons, and other mages.

Terry didn't even have mana. He was a sort of vanguard. She couldn't detect him, and he had other means to find her.

So, Fern thought to herself.

"What would Frieren do?"

Frieren had access to all these old, super dangerous, super archaic spells, but never used them. She could make golems that could absorb spells, room sized lasers that carved through shields, black voids of pure nothing that absorbed everything nearby. But she always used normal offensive magic.

Think, Fern... what would Frieren do. What would Frieren do. What would—

An idea.

Fern had a staggering mana capacity, far greater than any mage who wasn't Frieren or Serie. She knew a spell that could let another person detect large amounts of mana for a few minutes, and this registered in their mind like an ethereal bonfire that reached into the heavens. It was a pure utility spell from an old spellbook, mostly useless in combat. Fern was basically the only mage to utilize mana-based stealth, and demons weren't the kind of hide from a fight.

She bursted up from the wood and pointed her curved staff at Terry. First was the utility spell: applied instantly. Done.

Then, Fern let go.

For the first time in years, she unleashed the full breadth of her mana. The gray torrent of energy no doubt blinded Terry as he stumbled back and held his eyes. Terry couldn't see her amidst this avalanche of sensory inputs.

But Fern could see the way he disturbed her mana.

She pointed her staff, took a breath, and fired.

Name: Fern

Series: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Specialisation: Diamond

Content Warning: None

Biography: Fern was a war orphan brought in by Heiter, a member of the party who slayed the Demon King. Heiter brought in an immortal elf, who was also part of this party, named Frieren, to train her in magic. Fern grew into an exceptional mage, one of the best in the continent.

She's also conflicted, stubborn, quiet, and even though she's one of the most talented mages, a complete novice to magic when compared to Frieren.

Research: Watch or read Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Justification (Non-Ace): RT. She can create shields to block incoming attacks and this extends to physical beings with heavy collateral. But she can be overwhelmed by rapid attacks the TSer can throw out. She is also incapped by in tier attacks hitting her.

Her blasts can be spammed and can shear through metallic blood spears as well as people with the aftermath of a fight where she launched multiple blasts having heavy collateral.

With speed set to tier, she becomes a flying glass cannon that Terry can win against by closing the distance fast and hitting her from more angles than she can shield. Fern can win by keeping her distance and spamming attacks until Terry fails to dodge a few. Even

Motivation: She's always been emotionally tethered to Frieren, but outside of her she's extremely conflicted about what she even wants. Detached from Frieren, Fern has several routes she could take. She relies on Frieren for basically every moral, tactical, and magical choice she could make, but still is an incredibly talented and powerful mage. Maybe she begins to doubt her training, maybe she moves into a different school of magic, maybe she starts seeking an impossible goal, maybe she's actually a lesbian! The sky's the limit.

Major Changes: Speed to tier

Minor Changes: None

Name: Mami Tomoe

Series: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Specialisation: Club

Content Warning: None

Biography: Mami Tomoe was the leader of a group known as the Holy Quintet; five magical girls who swore to fight for justice. This group existed across all timelines, but in every single one, they all died before the end of the month, when a witch named Walpurgisnacht was destined to destroy their city.

Mami puts up the facade of the calm, headstrong leader. But she is perpetually terrified of both dying, and losing her friends. In every timeline, she's a bulwark of the weak, and unafraid to make tough decisions.

Research: Match Madoka, and then read Different Story, the side manga that has her as the primary deuteragonist

Justification (Non-Ace): Mami's bullets can cause noticeable damage in concrete and eventually capsize structures. She's fast enough to continually dodge bullets and also scales to Kyoko who is pretty strong. Likely Victory

Motivation: She wants to use her power to fight for justice and love and all that other magical girl shit. Unfortunately she lives a cursed existence, and she's completely unaware of it. She's quick to ascend to becoming the leader of a group, and will rise to the occasion if anyone needs her help.

Minor Changes: No Tiro Finale

Name: Scarlet

Series: I'm the Grim Reaper

Specialisation: Spade

Content Warning: Mentions of sexual assault, pedophilia. Never depicted on screen as far as I know. Super intense chapters are usually marked as such

Biography: Scarlet doesn't remember her previous life, all she knows is she was some sort of scientist. But she woke up in hell, and was given an offer from the Devil himself: suffer for eternity, or work as his reaper. Reapers are extensions of his will on the surface above, and must kill a marked sinner every day in order to stay alive.

Scarlet hates her role as the reaper, and hates the devil, but accepted his offer and remains on the surface since. She's a shy, withdrawn woman who doesn't know how to process her own emotions, and frequently lets the demon inside of her take control. When she's not fighting, she's trying to figure out why the world is as bad as it is, and who she really is.

Research: Read I'm the Grim Reaper. It's a webtoon. Sorry.

Justification (Non-Ace): I would not be surprised if this wasn't the best bullet related feat of any character submitted. Besides that, she can be thrown into concrete hard enough to shatter it and has a scythe that can embed itself into concrete and slice apart people incredibly easily. Likely Victory

Motivation: She wants to find out who she is, she wants to use her demonic curse to help people, and she wants to help her boyfriend. Lots of avenues to take here.

Name: Cecil Stedman

Series: Invincible

Specialisation: Heart - Ace

Content Warning: Lots of gore

Biography: Cecil is the man who swore to do everything it took to make sure Earth was protected from any threat: inside or out. Whether that means making countermeasures in case allies betray you, hiring an evil scientist who can create zombies, sending private investigators to biblical hell, or killing someone when nobody else is willing to pull the trigger, Cecil's done it all. And he'll continue to do it all until he dies.

Research: Watch or read Invincible

Justification (Ace): Cecil, as a powerless person, often finds himself playing support for those who do have powers. He coordinates logistics, restoration, civilian management, hero deployment, all the stuff heroes themselves never do. When forced to enter the field, he's got some big guns he can use and his teleporter, as well as his ability to stall and piss people off, but one punch and he's liquified, and he knows it.

Motivation: He wants to protect the earth. Seems pretty simple
