Lancer Jojo Mech v2

JOJO MECH
[The girl, not yet two decades old, kneeled in the shrine. She paid scarce attention to her priest’s words on tendays, and now was struggling to recall beyond the most basic of prayers. She was there for a very simple reason: Her colony had failed to pay tribute to their masters one too many times, and so retribution was coming, tearing gouges across the once blue sky.

She prayed and she prayed and she prayed, and yet it could not calm the turmoil raging in her heart. What of her home, the only place she had known? What of her family, their mortality now so clearly defined? What of her love, unspoken and unknown to the one who mattered? She had no answer. She received no answer.

The distant rumbling shook the shrine, and she felt her cheeks wetten as she realized nothing would stop her life from being burnt to the ground.

“If only,” she cried. “I had the power to stop them.”

Light blinded her eyes. When she blinked the spots out of her vision, she gasped. For she had her answer, shining silver and purple.]

[Her faceless visor snapped back and forth, the girl gripped by indecision. To her left, one of her master’s dogs, tearing down the barricades of her friend’s home, shouting taunts and jeers as they trampled her friend’s beloved flowers. To her right, her brother and his family, circled by her master’s dogs as they nipped and cackled at her kin, superiority and contempt stretching each of their faces into rictus grins.

‘If only,’ she thought. ‘I could help them both.’

She blinked, and then she saw herself staring back. Identical in every way. A newly-born twin.

And then they split apart, bounding off in a mirrored stride. Her master’s dogs were mean, cruel things, but they were too used to drubbing those beneath them, and grown soft from complacency. They had not lasted more than a single breath.]
	Active - The World
	Protocol - 1/mission
	Stop the flow of time and obtain a World Die, 1d6 starting at 1. Immediately gain 1 extra quick action for you and your doppelganger if it is active. Until the end of your turn, none of your allies or enemies can take reactions and all damage and effects are suspended.
	After you have completed all available actions, you may choose to roll a 1d6. If you roll a value equal to or higher than your World Die, you immediately gain an additional quick action for you and your doppelganger and increase the value of your World Die by 3. You must spend this quick action on both you and your doppelganger before you can roll again. If you fail the roll, your turn ends.
	Once you end your turn, all suspended damage and effects are immediately applied as a single attack against each target.

[She saw the state of her colony, her beloved colony, and wept. The radio spire, bent like a sapling in a storm. The stores, broken and looted. The great hall, burning and tarnished. And everywhere she looked, she saw her master’s dogs, skittering through the skeleton of her home and terrorizing her people.

She knew even with her other-self, she would never be able to stop them all.

“If only,” she said. “I could be everywhere at once.”

She blinked, and then she had seen everything had stopped. Licking flames were frozen like ice sculptures. People locked into place like display pieces. Sound gone entirely, as if someone had turned down the world’s volume.

Time itself standing still.]

[The punch sent her body through a tree, and then the tree behind that, and then the one behind that. She groaned, the sharp ache of a fierce beating new to her, for even if she thought her parents strict they had never laid a single hand on her.

Her master’s dogs were weak, cruel things, but even they were smart enough to realize when they were outmatched, and cried for help. Their answer stood beyond her, its imposing bulk casting shadows in the burning light.

‘If only,’ she thought. ‘I could withstand its strength.”

She blinked, and suddenly she felt weight hold her down. She looked at her body, and saw it was covered in shining metal. Her foe unleashed another attack, and yet she felt nothing. No matter what the brute did, its torrent of blows slid off like droplets on a holoscreen.]

[These dogs danced outside of her reach, their hover transport keeping them far from her fists and zipping too nimbly for her thrown projectiles. Irritation flared up as she glared impotently at them, their confidence surging back as they thought her powerless.

“If only,” she said. “I could reach them.”

She blinked, and she felt her hand wrap around a handle. It was a beautiful silver that matched her beloved’s eyes, and its weight was balanced perfectly in her grip. Its chambers spun with oiled smoothness, and its barrel was as crisp as her most treasured memories.

And then she pointed it upwards, and every single shot was true.]

Punch Rush - quick action

Autopsy of the retrieved bodies and wreckage showed that they received hundreds of blunt force attacks in the span of seconds. Analysis of the impacts puts them about the size of a human fist. As the most common description of the attacker put them as roughly human in size and preferring to engage in melee, it’s improbably that the perpetrator did this purely through conventional physical means. Paracausal effects likely.

[She saw her. She saw her beloved Holly lying on the ground, red staining her the dress she loved so dearly. She was at Holly’s side in seconds, and could only sob even as she sighed in relief that Holly was still breathing, at least for the moment. Holly still found the strength to smile up at her, to declare her affections she kept hidden until it was too late, and the girl only wept harder.

“If only,” she cried. “I could fix this.”

She blinked tears, and then heard Holly gasp. She saw the red stain shrink, and color return to her beloved’s skin until Holly was sitting up in her arms, confusion and relief and embarrassment on her face. She never looked so beautiful.]

[Her master cowered in the gaudy office, now soiled with blood and piss, clutching his broken hand as if he had never received an injury in his life. For years she had thought him godlike. Invincible. Unassailable.

Yet all she could see now was a gangly rat begging for his life.

“Who are you?” he cried, pathetic tears dripping down his scraggly beard.

“I am Josefina Jorgen.” Her voice rang imperiously in the broken room. “And I’m here to collect.”]
