Welcome to I Can’t Believe Canon Is Dead, where Annis Valencia and Dylan Alvarez break canon into two halves - except I lied because canon was already broken in two halves. This levelling system is the least serious levelling system in DTG, where we dance on shards of canon, and laugh. Half of it’s basically made up on the spot, anyway.

This levelling system was inspired by Skirmish Manoeuvres, by Tazz. Without him, poor Annis would be alone.

THE PARTY SYSTEM:
A Trusty Squad of Heroes: Annis is not alone! If one girl hoarded the shards of a broken canon to herself, she’d be blasted out of reality by the Italian Space Mafia, Narrative and Conflict all at once! Annis can have allies of two types:
TEMPORARY: These guys only last for a single respawn, and cost less or more money, depending on how ridiculous their shard is.
PERMANENT: These guys last until Annis fires them! If Annis fires them, they’ll either die or be demoted to a temporary party member!

Activation: Only a singular party member can be active at once. If a party member is active, they can use their shard of canon, passives and actives to its fullest potential! If a party member is inactive, then they’re completely invulnerable.

Respawning: If a party member is reduced to 0 HP, and they’re Permanent, then they’ll respawn in 6 turns. If all party members are dead, then the party member closest to respawning will respawn in a turn.

The Hiring Process: To hire a new permanent party member, Annis needs to spend at least 500,000 stacks of A LOT OF MONEY, as discussed below. To hire a new temporary party member, Annis needs to spend at least 250,000 stacks of A LOT OF MONEY. When allies are recruited, they can be granted a singular Shard.

A FRAGMENTED CANON:
A LOT OF MONEY: For every point of damage a party member deals, they gain a singular stack of A LOT OF MONEY. A LOT OF MONEY can be used for a lot of things, but mainly buying new cards / shards, hiring new members and empowering cards / shards!

Shards: Shards are the main feature of this levelling system. Shards are aspects of canon that tend to be patently ridiculous. Some of them have probably been retconned from reality at this rate.

Shards have no set effect. Their effect is based on what they are, and what the user’s imagination is. For example, a shard with “The Gun That Can Kill The Past” can be used to deal super high damage, and soulkill non-Descendants with sufficient creativity, or, using A LOT OF MONEY, it could be turned into an active or passive with like effects.

Shards have to be something super OP. That’s the entire point.

Cards Against Godmodders: Dylan and co also have a Cards Against Godmodders deck, where they can store shards for later usage, granting shards to entities, using their effects like alchemies, alchemising with them, and generally using them for evil shenanigans! With enough money, somebody can do anything!

STARTING SHARD: The Universal Essence:
The Universal Essence is Roxxanne’s OP source of powers, granting her every power in Fiction, yet somehow Shadow Roxxanne hasn’t killed us all yet, or turned into a boss. I don’t know, either.

The Universal Essence is Annis’s shard, put on a nice White Card Against Humanity, and thus usable for any power in Fiction via the power of DANCING ON CANON’S BROKEN SHARDS WHILST USING THEM LIKE A WEAPON.
