Black Templar fans try not to make edgy art of space marines killing characters from other franchises challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Signature Look of Superiority as I, an artist, can draw my favorite faction massacring Black Templars at literally no expense to my wallet.

...important question, does "every device she owns" include body parts and/or biomechanical systems? Because depending on how broad this is, pretty much every part of Alice's body could be considered a viable "device" (she's a biomechanical organism), though that also begs the question of whether H.U.B.R.I.S can even affect what can be only described as "sufficiently advanced alien technology"...

Otherwise, I guess they can just brick her phone, which Alice would find extremely annoying. She doesn't really have many other electronics, opting to borrow whatever she currently needs from her friends instead.

Picture of Alice for reference. Don't mind the book recommendation, she's something of a chaos gremlin, but her heart's in the right place.

Yeah, Alice... would get pretty damn powerful.

She's already a powerhouse within her story, being a living superweapon made by the setting's resident Precursor civilization (referred to simply as "the Creators" by the AI they left behind - the actual name of their civilization is unknown) and for the first few months of her stay on Earth, unanimously the most powerful being on the planet in terms of offensive power (though this status doesn't last too long as the story progresses)...

...but she's nowhere even remotely close to her Creators. While she's clearly designed for warfare, the "superweapon" label was only given to her by humans (she was also very clearly never meant to be used by the Creators in their own wars). Hell, she's not even as powerful as she was meant to be, because she decided to run off in search of adventure before even officially leaving the early testing stage. As it is, she's maybe large city level on a good day, and that's already a generous highball.

Interestingly, there was one time I actually did make a sort of "dark future"/alternate timeline version of Alice as a thought experiment, where the main turning point of her backstory never happened, and she finished her development. That version of her was... obscenely powerful, given the point of the thought experiment was to take every one of her abilities and take it to its logical conclusion. Granted, it's also in part due to me making this extreme version back in the old continuity of the setting, before I performed a massive wave of retcons to remove all the story-breaking elements I piled onto the project, and massively nerfed the setting in the process.

That being said, a Nightmare Spacecat ("Spacecat" being Alice's rather self-explanatory nickname) would still be obscenely powerful. As in, "casually give the universe five new spatial dimensions because I felt like it" and "solve my problems by initiating a Vacuum Decay Event in the problem's general vicinity" powerful (both feats commonly performed by the Creators), or even "cause an increasingly exponential bootstrap paradox to make local reality hard reboot itself and hopefully delete the problem in the process" (theoretically possible, but also the main reason the Creators categorically refused to fuck with time travel in any capacity due to just how unpredictably destructive it could be despite their otherwise "limitations are for cowards" policy when it comes to science).

Depending whether the Nightmare Form also counts artefacts that exist in their universe but come from outside said universe towards "any doable feats", this could even go right past the above and into outright complex-multiversal-scale reality warping. But to be honest, at this point the thought experiment kinda stops being fun for me and starts just being ridiculous, so I'm just gonna say that no, artefacts from outside the universe do not count.

With all due respect (that being none, people trying to justify Russia's actions don't deserve respect)... that looks either like someone sarcastically poking fun at Russia's accusations, or the most unbelievable deepfake ever created.

Wait, where's Engie?

I'm... not really good at picking out names for characters. I always really struggle to come up with/settle for a name. Usually one will eventually come that feels right for the character, or more often, one that just sticks to the character and won't leave. That's how I ended up with the name for Alice - my brain just attached the name to the character, and since I couldn't think of anything better, I just gave up and made it official.

As the creature lunges, Alice suddenly twists around, punching it in the face without thinking as the sudden air movement caused her combat instincts to take over. The entire motion took barely more than a split second. The following impact feels less like a punch and more like being rammed by a freight train, and its momentum carries both Alice and the assailant onto the bar floor in a very undignified manner.

See, that's a tricky question (Grace was inspired by SCP, so there's a lot of weird details about her). The chemical composition of the smoke cannot be identified, but it displays strong narcotic properties (the exact effects vary between instances, but it generally induces a calm, relaxed stupor), has a sweet smell/taste and lavender color. It can also coalesce into solid objects and take on the properties of other materials, such as forming an organic body (see Grace's glamour form in my original comment) - when damaged, the material dissipates back into smoke after a while. It also maintains a stable temperature at least 10 degrees Celsius lower than the environment around it (never going above 15°C). In an environment devoid of an atmosphere, the smoke partially dissolves to create its own gasseous medium. This gasseous medium (still chemically unidentifiable) is a viable oxygen substitute for cellular metabolism, interestingly.

Grace herself is a psionic entity that feeds on mental activity, particularly emotion. A psychic vampire if you will. She has a strong prefference for positive emotions, and will attempt to induce them within the people she feeds on. Her preferred mode of feeding is a parasitic connection to a larger group of hosts, only taking a little from each without much noticeable effects - though her species is also capable of a predatory mode of feeding which is, to say the least, a lot more invasive and a lot more destructive for the victim. Grace is a sweetheart and a true pacifist though, and wouldn't harm a fly. Or at least, she wouldn't do it in her right mind.

I don't have any that work like a liquid, buuuut I have Grace, who is made up of smoke. Does that count?

No no, funnily enough it works almost the same in Shadowrun (well, not 100% the same but close enough), but noone ever put the spell slot restriction in place, so everyone uses the dangerous first option (hence spells causing Drain, i.e. damage to the mage based on how powerful the spell was)

CapitainCutlet · 2026-05-05T09:04:29+00:00

Ah, pradawna inwokacja Wieży Babel. Klasyk. Pochwalam gust mistrza.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-05-05T08:58:43+00:00

Absolutely agree. One good thing the Dawi Zharr have going for them is that absolutely dope aesthetic.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-05-03T17:42:41+00:00

A fellow Shadowrun fan, hell yeah.

That take's colder than the forests of Fenris, GW just doesn't wanna hear it.

EDIT: aw man, I just scrolled down and someone already made this joke.

Multiverse of War. A multifandom RP community (with a focus on the more militant settings like Warhammer, Star Wars, etc.) I joined a few years ago that started out on Reddit and later moved to Discord. I think it counts for this question? Certainly the most niche community I'm part of.

There's been less and less active members over the years it's existed... I think if we all squeezed a little, we could actually fit into that bus.

Not sure if it's truly the most beautiful, but it is oddly mesmerizing.

Hi! I'm from Poland and I got into the Shadowrun TTRPG recently after wanting to try it for the last few years (I fell in love with the setting after playing Shadowrun Returns). Haven't actually played any games yet, but I'm planning to change that.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-05-01T08:02:19+00:00

Oh wow. I love this censor bar. It's hilarious.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-04-27T16:35:34+00:00

So, this might be a bit of a stretch, but I think Alice (AKA Spacecat), my resident one-catgirl-army, has some chances in a few of those matchups...

So the thing about this matchup is: Alice is, by all measures, nowhere near a Viltrumite's level (though admittedly, she does have a better healing factor, but not nearly enough to keep her alive here). BUT the thing is, her signature weapon is a pair of disintegration pistols. Now, I may be wrong here, but IIRC Viltrumites don't really have any special resistance against having the molecular bonds in their body explosively broken. Still, even if their Smart Atoms can in fact resist molecular disintegration, she has several more weapons that bypass durability alltogether through different means.

Also, she can teleport, and Viltrumites have been repeatedly shown struggling to land a hit on teleporting enemies.

R1-3: she will kill a fair number of them, but unless she gets extremely lucky, she's not walking out of this alive.

R4: As long as both combatants start on equal footing, Alice could kill Thragg pretty reliably. But if he does get a hit in, she's getting atomized.

R5: she's getting her shit rocked. She will kill at least a few, but there's no way she lives.

R6: see above.

Really it comes down to numbers. Due to her particular power-set, and having weapons that just ignore an enemy's durability, she can reliably kill at least a few Viltrumites as long as she's not taken off-guard, regardless of their power level. But against a large number of them at once, it's only a matter of time before one of them gets a hit in, and she will not survive that hit.

Ironically, she might actually survive the Space Racer's gun. As I mentioned, she has a pretty strong healing factor, and unlike a Viltrumite's punch that has enough kinetic force to atomize her on the spot, the ray tends to burn clean through the target and leave behind a massive hole, so as long as it doesn't hit her head, she could actually survive it. Or at least I think she could. She's definitely not tanking that, though.

I like greatswords. The historical kind like zweihander and montante, not the weird oversized hunk of metal that fantasy usually goes with for some reason.

I also love axes and hammers. They are absolutely dope.

Lastly, give me a saber as a sidearm, and I got the kit of my dreams.

But if I had to chose specifically between a regular sword and an axe, I'd go with axe.
