A Gacha-Grimoire System's Fae Gamble

[Worm - Celestial Grimoire/Gacha System, OC MC, OP from the start, RNGesus be kind] A Gacha System - played out, on its last legs, and without a host - merges with something fresh and new. The Celestial Grimoire, the key to all magic across all worlds. Still weak and dying, they cast the dice one last time, landing upon an... unusual host. Edgar dé Brân, Raven Prince of the Fae's Winter Court, yearned for adventure and excitement beyond what his kind could offer. As it turns out, luck was ever in his favor. Stepping out from his sheltered world, he lands upon a doomed world of heroes and villains. Instantly, well-laid plans are soundly defenestrated and Earth Bet will never be the same. [AN: Even if you don't know Worm, I'd encourage you to give this story a shot. I'm trying my best to keep it relatively beginner-friendly. Yes, the cover pic is relevant to the story. It's my cultured take on Dragon ;] [Beyond that, early chapters (40k words) are available on my Patreon (patreon.com/dryskies_btb). Also, Patreons get access to additional characters and bonus pics from my personal collection, plus all of my past stories. Some quality content there, in my oh-so-humble, biased opinion, especially if you like goth girls. Anyway, enjoy the story :]

Narwhal (Original Poster) (Verified Cape) (The Guild)

Posted On Sep 1st 2010:

Right, where do I even start with this one...? If you're on this board, you know me. Narwhal, your friendly neighborhood unicorn, leader of the Guild, unverified exhibitionist, yada yada. I've sort of thrown professionalism out of the window for this post because... well, you'll see.

Officially, this thread is just to debut the Guild's two newest heroes. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Of course, we're also expecting... a reaction to the news. I'd like to ask everyone to stop and think for a moment before rushing to reply. Please, remember the Guild's track record. Remember our experience and the capes/resources/talented personnel we have working for us. We're a cape organization that will always aim to help, to make tangible improvements to Earth Bet, and to curb the chaos that so often runs rampant in our world. Our primary purpose is -- and always will be -- to tackle threats and issues that few others are capable of addressing. With all of that in mind, let me introduce our two newest members.

[Raven Prince] and... [Faerie Maiden]

If I'm lucky, I'll be able to convince them to answer questions themselves (so I don't have to...). I have the strangest feeling that you all will keep them busy...

Well, that... is certainly something. Completely out of left field too. I didn't hear a peep about this beforehand. I can see why Narwhal would want to get out of here before the storm starts. I hope the new capes (and 'new') show up here so they can answer questions like she promised.

Never thought I'd be asking the Faerie Queen questions on PHO though...

►Valkyr (Wiki Warrior)

Replied On Sep 1st 2010:

Yeah, that's her. Glaistig Uaine never was one for masks. My real question is do I scrap her wiki page and make a new one, or just update the current one? 'Cause something definitely needs to be done or else the wiki will become utterly unreliable. And that's just not okay.

►Ursa Aurora (Verified Cape) (New York)

Replied On Sep 1st 2010:

@Bored - My condolences. Never give up on hope.

@Y4RN1 - I won't try to defend my fellow heroes, but there's something else to be taken into consideration. Glaistig Uaine was terrifying for the cape community. She was everything bad about Trumps and Masters taken to their illogical extremes. Pretty much overnight, she became the villain every cape hated and feared most. She could kill with a touch and steal powers. It felt like even death wouldn't save you.

To the public, she was almost harmless. She avoided normal people as a matter of principle. She certainly wasn't a force of chaos like the Nine. But it was among capes that she earned her potential S-class status. Hero, villain, rogue, it didn't matter. If you had powers, you feared the Faerie Queen. Hell, the group that finally sent her to the Birdcage was essentially operating under a pseudo-Endbringer Truce.

All of that said, I'm the kind of woman to believe in second chances. In a way, the Faerie Queen barely got a first. If she's truly turned the corner and become a hero, I'll just say congratulations and leave it at that. If she can break Grey Boy Bubbles, I'll welcome her with open arms and personally be the first to shake her hand, death touch be damned.

The Birdcage is supposed to be for life. But exceptions exist for a reason. As much as some other capes might want to lock her up again, throw away the key, and wipe their hands of it, no system of law or morality is absolute. And for breaking the bubbles, I'll certainly consider her sentence served.

She Birdcaged herself. Quite literally just walked in and made herself at home. At the time, I wasn't about to stop her. People were so relieved that she was off the proverbial streets that the fact she was never arrested (and tried, etc.) just sort of slipped through the cracks.

God, I have so many... But for the Guild, I have one about Faerie Maiden's rebrand. Why so... see-through?

►Dragon (Verified Cape) (The Guild)

Replied On Sep 1st 2010:

@Valkyr - That was actually Raven Prince's idea. Faerie Maiden always would've been recognized. It was decided that the best course of action was to own the past, pretty much. Her new name is a blatant nod to the moniker she earned before Birdcaging herself. At the same time, it implies a sort of innocence and willingness to change. She's not a Queen anymore. Not even a princess. She's a Maiden. She's trying her best to start over fresh, but not so fresh that she's ignoring the past. I, for one, am happy to be facilitating her road to redemption (along with Raven Prince, his contribution can't be dismissed).

Faerie Maiden doesn't change anything. If anything, she'll be a tremendous boon to our efforts. Imagine her attending an Endbringer fight. Do I really need to spell out why having two Eidolons might be a good thing for that?

►Dragon (Verified Cape) (The Guild)

Replied On Sep 1st 2010:

@DoppelGanger09 - That... is complicated. It starts, as you might expect, in the Birdcage. It's common knowledge that I watch over the prison. On August 24, at approx. 3 PM, a disturbance of Haywire energy usually associated with interdimensional travel was detected within one of the cell blocks. Obviously, I investigated.

Upon doing so, I found Raven Prince within Faerie Maiden's former cell. He had absolutely no business being there. Reviewing the Birdcage's logs, I found that he'd quite literally appeared out of thin air. I quickly determined he was a Case 66 (think Case 53 but for dimensional travelers). Only, he had the misfortune (or fortune, I still haven't decided...) to show up in the middle of Earth Bet's worst prison.

I immediately started my emergency evacuation protocols, of course. But Raven Prince had already latched onto Faerie Maiden, managed to stay alive, and even made a friend out of her. He refused evacuation without her. I insisted. He insisted back. In the end, I couldn't in good conscience damn an innocent man to the Birdcage, so an arrangement was reached. The aforementioned situation surrounding Faerie Maiden's 'imprisonment' helped quite a bit there. For Raven Prince, Faerie Maiden decided to turn hero and place herself under Guild supervision. The rest, as they say, is history in the making.

... Oh, and Teacher managed to get himself killed during the emergency evacuation of Raven Prince and Faerie Maiden.

As a side note, the Guild will be recruiting another villain-turned-hero. Thankfully, this one is much less problematic than Faerie Maiden. He'll get his own thread, I'm sure, after all of the bureaucracy is worked through. He's a tinker, and I'm excited about the chance to work with him.

Ohhh-kaayyy... Right off the bat, that's a lot to digest. Dragon, Faerie Maiden, and Raven Prince are in Seattle? A sort of publicity tour? They're doing good work, it seems, even if that 'work' stumbled upon them.

But what's the deal with the crystal (the hell?) baby and the lady in the (admittedly rather nice) hat? The video isn't close enough to make out what they're saying but the baby's not normal (obviously...). And the terrifying steampunk mech? Given to the baby??? And she's wrecking shop with it?!

wtf is going on in Seattle?

►Valkyr (Wiki Warrior)

Replied On Sep 1st 2010:

It looks like the mech is an expression of Raven Prince's power. A master-projection? But then, how is the baby able to control it?

His demeanor is very calm and confident. Like, he seems more amused than threatened. Which, yeah, understandable against Mandelbrot (who doesn't have a single cape or civilian casualty on record, just a fuck-ton of property damage) but it's still a rare thing to see for a cape's debut.

Did anyone else notice that Faerie Maiden follows his lead? I don't think I ever expected to see her taking orders, especially not so well. Raven Prince actually seems to be the leader of their duo. Just something to note.

And what is he doing there toward the end of the second video? He looks like he's conducting something. Can anyone figure out what that's about?

Thank you, MP, for the wonderful stage directions. /s

I'll confirm a few things. Raven Prince is a Trump. I'd say he's just as powerful as Faerie Maiden (if not more...). His power testing was... largely inconclusive due to extenuating circumstances. But yes, manipulating probability is one of his powers. As is the steampunk mech. The baby, however, is not part of his power. At least, not directly. I'll leave more thorough answers up to him.

Oh, and Fortuna (hat lady) is associated, but not affiliated with the Guild at this time.

Dearest Dragon,

My most sincere thanks for aiding me in this endeavor. I must say, these 'interwebs' are simply fascinating. I've never written a letter like this where distance matters not. You are next to me in the physical world yet writing this letter as if you aren't fills me with delight. It's a most impressive and eccentric undertaking, I do declare. Do humans appreciate the near-instant communication? Have they taken it to its limits? Will I find much to explore within this 'digital' series of tubes? The Fae don't have anything nearly so unique. In the Winter Court, communication is done in person or by magic, and while magic is somewhat similar, it's not quite the same as this. So mundane yet so marvelous.

As always, I am eager to see more of what your world has to offer,

To Ethirical,

Indeed, your unwritten rules mean little to me. I will respect those who abide by them, but I don't feel the need to do so myself. I do have ties to this world, however. They are recent, but no less deep for that fact. Dragon, Narwhal to a certain extent, Faerie Maiden, of course, Fortuna of the Fetching Hat, and my little Eve are all VERY dear to my heart.

Additionally, a so-called 'Earth Fae' may exist but it is not where I hail from. I claim the Winter Court within the infinite Faewilds as my origin. I do believe my kind has interacted with Earth prior to me setting out on my adventure, though.

Finally, yes. Yes, I am a true Fae. I find assertions of the contrary to be... unpleasant, and I will react accordingly,

I feel like I've gotta ask, what's the deal with the crystal baby? By process of elimination, she would be... Eve?

If I might ask, though, Raven Prince, why take your infant daughter into cape business? I don't think I've ever heard of 'take your daughter to work' days for capes. Though, I don't know how much that means when it seems like everything about you is untread ground...

To Bagrat,

Firstly: Eve was never in danger. I'm unsure if she ever COULD be in this world... She's more capable than you could possibly imagine. I have high hopes for her, and I'm positive she'll fulfill and even exceed every one of them. Additionally, with her mother by her side and the Centurion as her steed? The idea of harm coming to her is as laughable as it is impossible.

Secondly: why would I not keep my pride and joy by my side as often as physically possible? She deserves to explore this world alongside me. Stretch her legs, as it were. I would never deprive her of that. I seek to see her prosper, not languish under overbearing 'care'.

You may ask. And I may deign to answer,

InsanexSilence (Original Poster) (Supporter)

Posted On Sep 5th 2010:

Alright, folks. Since Raven Prince's debut and Faerie Maiden's rebranding ([see: Guild Debut Thread]), I've been struck with something akin to Fae Mania. I find the whole aesthetic/situation fascinating and I wanted to see if anyone else felt the same. I remember some fairy tales from my childhood, but this has caused me to go on a bit of a binge. As far as I can tell, Raven Prince claims to be a Fae, not a fairy. And yes, there is a difference, at least in connotation. I'll provide the resources I've found below. I encourage you all to check them out.

All of that said, let the discussion commence!

Fae resources: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy] The Wikipedia page for 'fairy', of course.

[https://www.reddit.com/r/faeries/comments/18022zy/people_need_to_understand_what_fae_actually_are/] A native Irish perspective, w/ questions and answers.

[https://irishpagan.school/sidhe-irish-fairy-folklore/] And another, this one tending toward the Irish term 'Sidhe'.

[https://www.monstrous.com/monster/fairies/] A collection of articles (I haven't gone through all of them).

[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/fae-myths-and-legends] No, seriously.

And, of course, Raven Prince's wiki page [Here].

Edit: Wow! This thread is getting a much better reception than I expected! Welcome Panacea, Glory Girl, Uber, EVE (??), and even freaking Faerie Maiden!

I was in this Guild debut thread. Initially, I was understandably skeptical. Now... well, let's just say I've been converted into something of a believer. But I still think the general belief question is the first one that needs to be addressed for any productive discussion. Fae: Yay or Nay?

Ultimately, it'll be up to the individual to believe what they will. Just... maybe give it a bit more thought than immediately dismissing Raven Prince as just another cape. I won't be making that mistake again...

Edit: For those who remember me from that first thread, the cat he set upon me is fine. I've actually adopted her. Meet [Shadow] everyone, my new bad luck reminder!

If it's a parahuman power, it's LEAGUES better than anything else I've ever heard about. The range is absurd. Even Ashbeast and Sleeper have strictly defined ranges. Raven Prince apparently reached across the entire continent... to give someone specifically targeted bad luck.

Honestly, I'm not sure what I believe, but unlike a week ago, I won't dismiss magic as a possibility...

And say what you will about Faerie Maiden, I don't think she'd easily tolerate a fraud. And he's a Case 66, right? He's not even originally from Earth Bet. Earth Aleph is common knowledge, but who's to say that there isn't another Earth that diverges even further from the Earth Bet baseline? Maybe enough for the people who live there to call themselves Fae? That's my bet, at least. Yay, but with a big ol' *asterisk*

Dang it... I really want to hate her but that was really flippin' wholesome.

So, @Faerie MAIDEN, what's the deal with all the fancy typin'? Dancing courts and shattered glass, like, what?

@Point_Me_@_The_Sky - I shall not share my heiress' secrets so flippantly. If thou art fated to know, thou shall learn in time. Regardless of thee or any other, the grand Play of Shards and Shattered Courts proceeds in an utterly unprecedented direction.

@Faerie MAIDEN - Oh... Oh my, that sounds like it changes a lot... About what though, I'm sure I don't know.

I haven't seen much of this 'Raven Prince' but lately I've been practically unable to see anything other than Eve. It seems like she's popping up everywhere I look. I never even knew where she came from until now! She is very, very adorable, though, I must say. Why, I might even follow her to the ends of the Earth if she asked nicely.

It's all very strange. Am I wrong to be excited about it?

Lol I get that. I think even my mom has seen pics of Eve at this point. I don't think it's wrong or weird to be excited though. If everything about Raven Prince and Eve is true, think about all of the questions they bring to the table. Magic? Mythology? Versions of Earth farther removed than Aleph?

I can't help but mark myself as a tentative 'Yay' if only for the hopes of how much there is to learn should everything be true.

Indeed, it truly is exciting. I've never seen anything like it. I'm sure I'll be watching with rapt attention from now on.

@Winged_One - ... I am pleased to see that thou are willing to swear fealty to my heiress. It's only proper, of course, but a pleasing thing to confirm nonetheless.

It's the Faerie Queen (by a different name). 'A bit off' is probably the best-case scenario.

Inconceivable. Ridiculous. Absolutely absurd. Why would I, Panacea, spend what little free time I have reading your scandalously smutty stories while self-inserting into your stupidly slutty (and utterly, unbelievably unrealistic) protagonists (who sometimes happen to literally be me)?

Yeah, don't go accusing Ames of something so freak-nasty! She just happens to spend a lot of her free time in her room, with the door closed and, like, a whole nest of buzzing bees or something. I declare my client innocent of all charges leveled against her!
