I Am So Totally An Evil Overlord [Original Setting]

[X] Don't be stupid! World domination is a man's romance! Aspiring toward power, toward glory, toward domination is just what it means to be a man, so if you’re a real man then you’ll obviously aim for something at least this big, right?

[X] Report to the dorms. As one of the few scholarship students at Saint Isabelle’s Academy for Young ladies, you’re getting an education far beyond anything you could ever imagine growing so average. Well, that’s only your due as true evil!

 

So yeah, I talked to Darkened about this and none of the choices lock in gender.

You gaze at the spacious green lawns and red ivy-covered buildings in front of you. So this is where you'll study for the next four years. No, you shake your head. No, how silly of you. This is where you'll conquer for the next four years!

For now, it's time to go report to the dorms. But, you need to get one thing straight before this story goes any further: You are a man amongst men. You wrestle bears for breakfast and shout your ideals to the heavens for lunch. Neither of those actually makes any sense and there aren't even any bears anywhere near this school; but that doesn't matter because you're just that manly. Who cares about the fact that you're currently wearing a skirt, or that you look really good in it? A man is all about passion! Dreams! Anyone who can reach deep inside themselves and find that burning hot core of passion is a true man. Only a fool would let such superficial things like not actually being male stop them from being a true man.

So what if you're...

Your disappointing looks don't matter at all. That's right, overflowing femininity has nothing whatsoever to do with being a man where it counts. It's just like weight training! Someone who always has to struggle against weights on their arms and legs grows stronger when they have to fight for real. Someone who always has to struggle with being the weakest and girliest in the world surely harbors the soul of a true man inside, rising up ever more passionately, sharpening itself until it breaks free and becomes a spear that pierces the heavens! That's passion, that's evil! That's your aesthetic as an evil overlord.

Brushing your pleated skirt, you cross your arms in front of your chest, throw back your head and laugh proudly. A few students passing by seem to be giving you a wide berth, too intimidated by your sheer presence to step close of course. Well that's fine, you can't help it if you're just that awesome no one dares approach.

"Saint Isabelle's academy is it?" You stretch out one hand toward the school, wrapping your fingers into a fist one by one. "FINE THEN! I'll Make you mine!" A bird chirps in the distance and one silver-eyed upper class-woman applauds slowly as she passes by.

The dorms aren't hard to find for a natural genius like yourself, and fortunately you didn't pack so much luggage that you're exhausted by the time you arrive.

A gray-haired old woman with a stern face and warm eyes meets you at the entrance. Her hands lie perfectly at her sides and she stands ramrod straight.

"Hello dear." She doesn't smile but there is some warmth to her voice, "It's my honor to welcome you to Saint Isabelle's Academy for young ladies. Now, if you would tell me your name so we can get you to your room assignment."

"Of course!" You grin toothily and stand on your tip toes so you can seem a little taller, "You seem like a fine sort so I'll grant you the honor of knowing my name. Treasure it for this meeting will soon be revealed as the most important of your long long life.

Though I appear to be just a normal schoolgirl, standing before you is that true villain cloaked in darkness! This humble figure is one whose passion burns brightly enough to outshine the sun and the moon; overflowing with potential, that m... girl who will one day conquer the heavens themselves! I am none other than the one, the only: ... "

The woman's fist collides forcefullyy with the top of your head.

"Owwwwww" is what you don't say at all, because that wouldn't be manly. Instead you take the surprisingly heavy blow with a steely unconquerable grin. That is exactly what happens. You do not rub your head in pain or whimper.

"This school prides itself on the decorum and nobility of our students. Though there may be some tolerance for a new girl, the fact remains that such conduct is unbecoming of a proper young lady. Bragging impresses no one. A proper lady should achieve distinguishment through deeds and proper conduct, not empty promises. Do you understand?"

Pinned by those fiery eyes, all you can do is nod. Truly this dorm mother is a real man! Shouting her ideals with her fists, she faces down all challenges and refuses to be cowed. How formidable an adversary indeed.

"Now then, I am Sylvia Gunson, your dorm matron. You will address me as Miss Gunson."

Turning around, Miss Gunson opens the dormitory's large wooden doors and ushers you inside. Without waiting for a word from you she continues speaking. "The school holds high expectations for you. All students receive a complimentary copy of the school rules in their dormitories. While your first day's schedule is somewhat up to your discretion. I would suggest--given your conduct until now--that you spend a good deal of the day reading the rules.

As a student on the magic course, you must also make your way to Farraway Hall and successfully complete the imitation ceremony today. Lastly, all students must attend the matriculation ceremony this evening in Custer Hall. Your conduct as a student reflects on your entire dormitory. I would advise you to arrive promptly and quietly."

Finally Miss Gunson leaves, abandoning you inside a small room with two oaken beds at opposite sides. Seeing as how the right bed is already made with a large trunk on top of it, you quickly claim the left.

It's the late morning and, from what you've read, the magic initiation ceremony won't take that long.

[ ] It's time to explore the school! All true men love to venture forth into the great unknown. How could you possibly defy that yearning passion deep within your soul to see and conquer all around you?

[ ] Read the school's rules. Though it pains you to admit it, Miss Gunson defeated you handily. As a true man your pride demands you listen to the words of the victor.
[ ] It seems you have a roommate. Surely if you wait in the room long enough she'll return. Who better to be your first subject on the path to conquest?
[ ] Magic! It has to be magic. You're the kind of person who charges straightforwardly at what they want without monkeying around. If you see something you want, of course you'll take it! And right now that means getting initiated as soon as possible.

THIS IS HAPPENING

 

let's not have our character be a pale imitation of something they can't be.

 

Archetype selection:
- Archetype: Cute as a Button
Innocuous is a very low-impact character, and we can probably get away from some scenes by withdrawing into a crowd or acting innocent.
But then again, we went with the grandstander, which works the other way with this kind of character. The Height disadvantage is piddling and very circumstantial.
-Archetype: Fragile (Nerd) Princess
Nerd probably doubles with the Dorm background's Intelligence advantage. The Athletic disadvantage might be harsh, but it probably fits the cliche of squishy Evil caster.
Ill fits the Grandstander 'I AM A MAN!' theme but good for a laugh, though.
- Archetype: Blonde Bombshell
Sex Appeal does not actually fit the Grandstander, but it keeps attention on the character, which is probably interesting for the character, an In-Character way.
The Legitimacy disadvantage might hurt the long term goals though.
- Archetype: It's a TRAP!
The Hidden Male is... More for a laugh than anything. It's more of a narrative quirk than any statistical advantage, so those who like cute traps and their hectic scramble to not be uncovered, can vote for this.

[X] Blonde, with curves in all the right places and a bright sunny smile that fails to look menacing no matter how hard you try. Even though everyone always does what you say, no one ever really seems to listen to you. But a true man doesn't sweat the small stuff like that+S


Name selection is... I dunno.
[X] Eleanor Florian


Action selection:
- Exploration: Getting to know the right places, and perhaps the right people
- Rules: Pedantry, barracks lawyer, loopholes, and not getting punishment times
- Roommate: Socialization, minion, hench(wo)men, rival, lover?
- Magic: MAGIC!

[X] It seems you have a roommate. Surely if you wait in the room long enough she'll return. Who better to be your first subject on the path to conquest?

Yup, the blonde is really the only one who suits form to personality.

 

I am fairly certain "Imitating something you can't be" is like 90% of the personality/background combo people chose.

Granted, there's a difference between a petite fourteen year old girl trying to Broskander and trying to be Jojoish. (For one the latter has far more awkward posing)


Also going to nix Quim Gushing, because I can't even type that with a straight face.

20:06 Peerless About your Overlord quest
20:06 Spider Yes?
20:07 Spider Yes?
20:07 Peerless Our char will grow stronger, correct? (As in character physical development etc?)
20:07 Spider Potentially.
20:08 Peerless >Potentially
20:08 Spider Well, I mean, you might bad-end before tomorrow in game.
20:08 Spider Or just completely flub all your training
20:08 Spider Or get cursed to never grow up.
20:08 Spider Or turned into a frog
20:09 Peerless Well fuck me
20:09 Spider Hmm?
20:09 Peerless (On second thought, don't)
20:09 Spider I mean, presumably if you don't do something crazy you will improve in general.
20:09 Spider Certain growth paths may not happen.
20:10 Peerless But will the voters be rational?
20:10 Peerless Also, what growth paths?
20:13 Peerless Spider Darkened?
20:13 Spider Good question
20:15 Spider I mean, it would be really useful to know that.
20:15 Spider What actions might lock out what paths
20:15 Peerless But how many paths do we have?
20:15 Peerless And what are they about?
20:16 Peerless People might plan for them
20:16 Peerless So that they can get both lewd ecchi stuff, and enjoy them
20:16 Peerless Like cake and eat
20:17 Spider That's true.
20:21 Peerless ...you're not gonna answer that are you?
20:23 Peerless Whatevs, I'm gonna post it in thread if you do not mind-hora
20:25 Spider Sure
20:25 Spider And nope.
20:25 Spider Your actions may or may not preclude certain paths of growth.
20:25 Spider Who knows.
