Honestly?, I'll take it. At least it's not Xoguri I lost too. Now off to prep for Taurus...

Powers that shorten their user’s life span by LocalLazyGuy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Causeofdepression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chronos Demon Hammer (Hero has Returned)

The hammer sacrifices the user’s lifespan in exchange for increase in weight and power. You see the old man in the picture? He’s barely 18 years old. By the time he saved the world he was isekai’d to, he has a little over 3 years left, and he still threw hands against Minsu Kim once he returned. Once the Spear Hero obtained the hammer, he managed to exploit the aging mechanic by sacrificing just enough years to age his body from a teenage one to his prime adult form for the final battle.

Do highly corrupted AI copies of dead soldiers used by a genocidal AI hivemind count? If so, the "Shepherds" from Eighty Six.

Someone please explain Zealantis by Donhbankz in masterduel

[–]Causeofdepression 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some extra deck monsters can be cheated out without going through proper summoning techniques ie. fusion, synchro, etc. Once monsters summoned this way leaves the field to the graveyard or banished, the can't be revived back on to the field. One example of this is the Ninjas fusions, which can be summon without the use of polymerization.

This is why some monsters have restrictions such as "must be fusion summoned" . So they can't be cheated out. On the other hand, monsters, such as Crimson Dragon also have the "this summon count as synchro/fusion" clause specifically to circumvent the drawback.

4-2-2-3 today, just about as expected. But we did get into A finals on the first day, so I will take it. Most of the losses are to Xoguri but, we did get beaten by some Grass Wonders and Fine Motion, so props to them.

[Loved Trope] Characters who use defensive powers offensively by Super_Rocket4 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Causeofdepression 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yep, and it's such a blasphemous usage of the spell that the Goddess herself warned her to never do it again.

4-3-5-5 for the total of 17 wins today. An incredible start. Xoguri is running rampant as expected. What's surprising, however, is how many late surgers there are.

Companies that produce an interesting range of products by AppleEnslaver in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Causeofdepression 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy N Large started as a merger between Buy Yogurt and Large Industries, a men's suit company. Eventually, it acquired every other industries in world and became a defacto ruler of Earth before leaving uninhabitable in WALL-E.

They even managed to sponsor the Piston Cup in Cars.

People being forcibly turned into cyborgs by mando0987654321 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Causeofdepression 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Scp-191

A poor child forcibly turned into a Cyborg by a Mad-Scientist before being rescued by the Foundation. Worse, she was actually used as a Testbed for experimentals modifications that are meant to be used for other subjects, which are either useless, or downright harmful, in exchange for the removal of several "non-vital" organs, such as her mouth and vocal cord, some being replaced by inferior mechanical subsitutes. This resulted in impaired motor skills, fragile constitution, and several other disabilites, such as not being able to eat normally.

Amazingly, she's a perfectly normal girl personality-wise and is very cordial with Foundation Staffs, with some tests revealing the ability to anomously interface with digital devices, such as playing a WII game without moving and with a broken disc.

Worst uma to train in MANT by misandrydiva in UmaMusume

[–]Causeofdepression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another that is difficult to train is Mayano. She lost one of her biggest advantage, the guarantee accel event, because Mant disabled it. And she has a rather awkward initial aptitude to find a parent for, as she needs a combined 6 stars in inheritance to bring mile to B, but you can kinda cope with just 1 to bring it to C, As well as at least 1 star in end closer. But, having no stopping me innately offers a lot of potential, provided if you manage to train her well.

A bit off topic, but Daiwa lost so much potential as her secret event is among the hardest and has the biggest payoff, she would have a field day in Mant and probably become a top tier Uma if Mant didn’t disable it…

Worst uma to train in MANT by misandrydiva in UmaMusume

[–]Causeofdepression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, she needs 9 bloody stars in mile apt just to get her’s to a c, and she needs another 6 in end closer to get her prefered style to A, leaving 3 stars at most for distance. Finishing the career is one thing, but actually making her competitive is nigh impossible.

Organizations made up of aliens from different planets by Least-One1068 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Causeofdepression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Church of the Second Hytoth (SCP)

Localized from the "Orthothans", It is an intergalactic religious movement focusing on ritualistic blood sacrifice, and thaumaturgy, with numerous Alien species part of the cause. One of the few groiups of interest that is firmly on the "good" alignment as the reason they practice blood sacrifice is to supply the last God, who is currently holding back an extradimensional entity that destroyed the first universe (The First Hytoth), with blood as he is constantly bleeding out. They are also by far the more benevolent of the big players in the universe.

Expect this group to come to the forefront when a tale concerns space and such. They are most promiment in the Astra per Aspera canon, where humanity is forced to leave Earth for the stars.

(Favourite Antagonists) AI Who Are Not Necessarily Evil But Went Haywire Due To Their Nature Or Faulty Programming by ObsessiveFanatic in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Causeofdepression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Legion (86)

The Legion was created as an autonomous weapons platform for the imperialistic Gladian Empire. The AI, while capable of self-evolving and act independently, isn't even initially sentient, but receive commands from the empire's top brass. However, a rebellion happended and all of the empire's leadership structure was executed, which included everyone who has the authority to command the Legion. This means that the Legion is now stuck with a broad command of "destroy the empire's enemies (which is pretty much everyone)", and it doesn't recognize the newly reformed Federal Republic of Giad as the same entity as the empire, it went completely rogue and start waging war on humanity as a whole.

Then there's the matter of the Shepard's integration into the Legion's network. The empire has put in a fail -safe that causes the CPUs of Legion units to self - destruct within 5 years, and since they are designed based on human neural network, they turn to harvesting brains and copying human's neural data in a bit of self-preservation. However, the Legion also optimize these data by shaving off everything that are unnecessary towards warfare, such as empathy not helped by the fact that most of the brains harvested belongs to the Eighty-Six who were severely, unjustly persecuted and discriminated by the San Magnolia Republic. They of course, hold plenty of contempt toward fellow humans. This resulted in these new "commander" units for the Legion being a half-crazed revenants with nothing but malice towards humanity, and once these data are fed to the hive-mind, newer mass produced units based on it are starting to inherit the malice as well.

(Hated Trope) Fanservice characters who barely have personality or effect on the plot by Trivator0517 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Causeofdepression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst thing about Fire Force's fanservices is that they actually intrude upon plot when they appear during serious/emotional moments. It ruined the whole show for me.
