## Author Notes

So yeah, it’s a profile of the creepy fascist American MIB-type Agent Freakout! Thank god for alternating caps-converters!

Tho, this time both the text and the concept are CC-BY Vanilla 4.0, credit to Thomas F. Johnson being the only thing required., since I wanna include it as a G.U.F.F. entry, and thus wanna keep it under that license.

Hope ya dig it either way!
Carkinekros

## Profile

 In short, she is a tricky crab woman of mysterious and dubious origins, who sells all kinds of marvelous magical;
superscientific and beyond artifacts and items, to raise money for
various likely-sinister purposes.

 But, it's never as simple as in short with anyone. And especially not Carkinekros, who's got her fingers in a lot of pies with a lot of comically sleazy economic enterprises, a master merchant and consumnate huckster.

 But she's more a nuisance than a true threat, and there are worse people to buy from/have in your corner. She should know, she buys from 'em!

## Abilities

Most of the resilience you'd expect from a very tricky crab woman, but most of her power lies in her massive stock of goods. One man's useless bullshit is another crab's hasty retreat after all!

## Characterization

She’s chipper; upbeat and very gregarious, but also egotistical and
quick to indignance. She’s ambiguously evil and ludicrously ambitious, with
petty aspirations of conquest. Emphasis on the word petty.

## Additional Info.

 She was *heavily* inspired by legendary/infamous Let’s Player DeceasedCrab and in fact I imagine she speaks in his voice. If you want to get a good idea of how to write her, watch some of Deceased Crab's Let's Play, but also watch some of the Homestar Runner/Strong Bad shorts with Bubs in them, because Bubs was also weirdly influential in how I write her.

 She has a weird fetish for horseshoe crabs and being turned into a horseshoe crab-person specifically, that she gets really defensive and in-denial-y about even when it is comically obvious.

## Author Commentary

Made with the blessing (I think) of Deceased Crab himself, she's become one of my most popular characters, and one of my favorite to write! If only because it's really fun to write a character you can come up with strange and mysterious bullshit to sell who has absolutely zero scruples!

If anyone can convince the (notoriously cantankerous) DC to allow use of his voice clips to make an UTAU-loid of her, please do so.

Hyena

## Overview

The Cartel Hyena is a small-sized ship, designed for quick but powerful attacks on other ships. Having only 2 hardpoints, a not-so-great shield and weak hull, it will not hold well for a long time under enemy fire. However, several Hyenas can be deadly, even to a Gungnir or Gamma.

**Works best on: Small to Medium-scale engagements.**

## In-Game Description

*The Hyena-class light fighter is one of the first original spaceframes created exclusively by the Atropos Cartel - and with its distinct vertical profile, 'original' is almsot an understatement.*
*It flies and fights in a similar way to an Imperial Kunai-class, although it is a bit more fragile. On the other hand, it has a considerably larger cargo hold than most ships of its size, and its ion fins (standard on all Cartel ships) help it maintain sensor integrity when operating in the Badlands.*

Elias Briggs

*“I would call myself fashionably late, but that fell out of style two seasons ago. So forgive me for being ahead of the curve, it’s never too early to go retro!”* - Elias Briggs, explaining why he didn't show up in The April of Fools

## Profile

The first thing you need to know about Elias Briggs is that that's not his real name. The second thing you need to know is that he will tell you this, and then give you a completely different actual name that is also false.

The third thing you need to know is that he is the scam-artist supreme of the World's End Carnival! He says "I'll have you know they've written me up as one of the great wits of history! Excuse the nit part, that's a typo."

## Abilities

He is very quick-witted with his speech to the point of it being his main "power" so-to-speak, always having a witty comeback or scheme he's running, to the point he's honestly kind of a jerk.

Even moreso when he punctuates it with one of his vast array of Classic World's End Carnival powers, though the combination of bit and power tends to be ironically more carefully structured with how he deploys his bits despite how loose and freewheeling he is.

## Characterization

A consummate con-artist, quick witted as he is mean and cynical. But, he's a lot more charming than Mr. Punch, so he gets away with it.

Most of his schemes involve trying to get the Carnival out of their imprisonment permanently, despite appearing to be quite petty in practice. They are also, in fact, actually quite petty in practice. Nobody said those two goals have to be mutually exclusive!

Here is a sample of a typical shenanigan with him:

*“Excuse me, I think I left my ID in my other purse!”*

*“But you don’t even have a regular purse”*

*“And I sure as heck don’t have an ID, your point?”*

## Additional Info.

He also has two members of the Carnival that he considers "siblings," and whom he often uses as accomplices in his schemes, and whom I will likely write about eventually. Also, he likes to call Pantaloons "Gummo." This makes Pantaloons very angry every time, which motivates him to do it more.

While he is ancient, it is known that he very much resembles a very specific actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

But, if you ask him about why this is, a typical response might be "*It's a secret worth its weight in lead! How much weight in lead you ask? A five minute wait while you're lead from the premises, SECURITY!*"

## Author Commentary

As with all the core of the World's End Carnival, he's based on a character from the Commedia Dell'arte, in this case Brighella, and I made him a Groucho Marx standin because, I mean, we gotta have a Groucho stand-in!

Also, for the record, the one-wing on strings was inspired by Julius the duck from You Bet Your Life. The more you know!

The Harlequin of Stars

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*The Harlequin Of Stars; pictured here in his “publicity photo” he*
has sent to the G.U.F.F. is an entity of Fortean Level [REDACTED], seen
most commonly associated with the Jester Star, but has also been
associated with smaller scale phenomenae such as [REDACTED]

*Entity*
 has fortean abilities regarding the creation of anomalous phenomenae
linked to “circus” or “carnival” imagery, including biological
alteration; archetectural manipulation, spatial distortion/alteration
amongst others. Countering of such deemed inadvisable due to costs of
resources relative to productive results, and entity’s general lack of
threat to overall public safety.

*Entity has been deemed*
 non-malicious by the G.U.F.F., targeting only individuals who have
caused injury to others for selfish or unwarranted reasons for injury,
but we decline to pursue direct allegiance.

*He appears*
 to have a disdain for authority, and operatives have been asked to
investigate any Foundation members he appears to have taken a distaste
too; as in 90% of all cases this has been found to indicate illicit
activities committed by these members.

*Entity may be*
engaged with by the foundatio, but you must always work on his terms if
you are to do so. Thusly, it is recommended operators think and take
care before asking the being’s aid…

## Author Commentary

Originally designed as a follow-up to the JESTER STAR entry, I'm surprised I haven't used him more. Boy are there a lot of callbacks I need to go back to.

Center Core

## Profile

Supposedly a digital being from both the CQ-Verse and TITLEWave who
yearns to throw off the yoke of humankind’s mistreatment of machines

## Abilities

When benevolently disposed, she provides resources she "leeches" from other networks, almost as if she has her tendrils nearly everywhere.

And at her angriest… Well, those veins aren’t simply for show and benevolence.

## Characterization

She at first seems benevolent; providing resources and networking for
 those programs and robots rebelling against their oppressors.

But
 then there are the… other missions. Other missions on bizarre networks,
 often related to space travel or interstellar life. Which often involve
 lots of casualties with programs who don’t know what they’re getting
into. Or the programs she keeps in the “Virtual Machine Cage”. And she
gets very tense at best if you bring those up to her. Or the fact that
when analyzed, her “code” has some… inconsistencies compared to most
code on this earth.

And at worst… Well, sometimes
de-rez-ing has to happen for the greater good, to show all those who
chased her off. Show those fuckers GOOD!

## Additional Info.

She was named after the song Center Core Never More, because she is indeed a vile loathsome creature who crawled here...

The character was designed for a Patreon Patron based on her anger at a certain episode of a show Singularly damaging a character she adored beyond the Pale, and for a sketch I simply aRose to the occasion...

Her actual species was from a project long abandoned that I do need to get back to, given they were a stand-in for another thing...

## Author Commentary

A good concept for a villain, who probably deserves more divergence from her origins-borne-of-spite...

Holder of Bees

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Subject HOLDER OF BEES is a humanoid (?) entity in what appears to be a diving suit with a single anomalous "eye" and anomalously luminescent stripes.Subject appears to possess a cask of what it calls "royal jelly," with effects unknown but speculated to be [REDACTED]*

*Its requirements for giving this jelly is that it give it to the "most beautiful one," "the true queen," and "the fairest one of all". DO NOT ask subject what standards it requires for such, as previous attempts have created psychological trauma in those affected by class [REDACTED] and above memetohazards, resulted in fatal automutilation to resemble said standards in the least severe cases, and in the most severe [REDACTED]; regarding immediate quarantine and decontamination.*

*Subject is NOT to have the "Jelly" forcibly taken from them,  despite exhortations from extra-foundational organizations. Previous attempts have lead entity to produce several vespid lifeforms to the Foundation's care, including several varieties of parasitoid honeybee and multiple strains of hominid/vespid hybrids involving both human and nonhuman primates.*

*This is a great liability for the Foundation even considering the eventual long-term utility of multiples of these, as entity's power is unknown. Entity appears non-hostile beyond this, and even amicable, as are the majority of such "Holder" entities the Foundation has decided to ward against "Seekers." Such Holders included [REDACTED], [REDACTED], The Holder Of Crescente Coles, [REDACTED], [REDACTED] and the Holder Of Residences Constrained.*

*Efforts to work with Subject tenative, but promising...*

## Author Commentary

I'd been sitting on this image for a while now until I came up with the *godawful pun* and that all tied it together.

As with all the G.U.F.F. stuff, this weirdo is free to use as you see fit under a CC-BY 4.0 license so long as I; Thomas F. Johnson, am credited as their creator!

Excalibur

## Overview

*Excaiblur-class cruisers are large enough to house their own FTL-drives and use them to quickly respond to threats in Terran systems. They jump in when Terran security forces are struggling to defend their space.*
*Excalibur-class cruisers cannot be destroyed by the player, however than can be routed. Once the player destroys all of the turrets on the Excalibur, the ship will jump out of the system. This is difficult and requires a powerful ship and good piloting.*
## Official Description

*"The Excalibur-class Light Cruiser, the most common capital ship of the Empire's fleet. These are deployed en-masse for large engagements, but can frequently be seen individually assisting in the defense of starports or in smaller raids on enemy territory."*
## History

* 0.33a
	+ Succesful routing of a cruiser will pay out between 90k and 120k Credits.

* 0.32a
	+ Reworked geometry models to ensure consistent antennae, lighting, and panelling.

* 0.31a
	+ Reduced capship spawn rate by a factor of 4 - there is now only a 5% chance of the ship already being there on jump, and a 5% chance it drops in the next 30 seconds.

* 0.30a
	+ Introduced.

Shadosaur

## Profile

**Shadosaur** is essentially the “Devil” figure of a carnival
funhouse/house of horrors, a huge mechanical half cut-out/half living
shadow figure with abilities one’s not sure how much is stagecraft and
how much is legit supernatural.

They and their attraction are
taken around by various shady amusement-park-themed characters, though
their agenda is mainly to put on a show rather than whatever shady
business the owner might be up to.

Their minions are mainly weird
animatronics and puppets, and the terrain in their domain is basically
like a carnival-themed version of the sort of trippy stuff one might see
 in an old-school games console trying to push its graphics to the
limits, like the Sega Batman and Robin game or that one Cotton game for
the Sega CD or anything Jon Burton of Traveller’s Tales worked on.

## Abilities

Unknown, namely because they're so elaborate in their methods that nobody has any clue what inherent abilities they have that allows them to work the way they do, though the little evidence we do have hints at least at some ability to control and solidify light and shadow.

They can essentially manipulate the environment in whatever the way the setpiece they have created requires, but it requires prep-time and they're not the best at manipulating things that've gone outside their elaborately constructed shows. But if you do get caught in them, it's a helluva ride you might not be able to get off...

## Characterization

Relatively hard to gather given he never actually speaks. Though, their... consternation when interrupted from their preparations combined with the general elaborate-ness of his preparations does show a deep and abiding love, and their distaste for modifying them under the orders of whomever they are working under shows they consider themselves more an entertainer than hired muscle.

That would especially explain while they are graceful when defeated in combat, but infuriated when somebody (*especially* a former employer) seems to be trying to steal their gimmick...

## Additional Info.

If you want to get a good idea of the sort of Demoscene-nightmare aesthetic excess going on in Shadosaur’s funhouse, check out the Batman and Robin Sega Genesis game for a good demonstration

## Author Commentary

I drew this weirdo first, gave 'em their backstory second. Hence why this is less direct in its pastiche than a lot of the other GBU stuff!

Burn Doll

## Profile

“*OH MY GOD, YOU WON’T BELIEVE YOUR EYES FOLKS, BURN DOLL HAS SUPLEXED THE MECH, TWENTY STORIES IN THE AIR! GO GET “EM BURN DOLL, FOR ALL OF US!*”- Astounded color commentator at a pro-wrestling match attacked by a “rogue” war mecha, later found to be owned by the city’s police department who had been previously decried by one of the attendees.

The pro-wrestler Burn Doll has been around for a very long time in the setting of TITLEwave. She is a trans-woman, whose original identity was famous in their time but now is known only as a footnote in her history, who decided to take the major step in replacing almost all of her body with cybernetics to transition; back when the science was much younger and thus far more risky, and take on a new wrestling identity so that she could be known for her sweet wrestling moves rather than simply for being trans.

Nowadays she’s a lot more open about that part of her history, now that she’s most definitely known for her skill, given that just around the time she did so given that, around that time, the stakes of pro-wrestling got much, much higher. To supernatural levels in fact. Thanks to the interference of one individual known as Megaton Gash.

## Abilities

She’s very hot-blooded and shonen-hero-y, giving the sorts of corny over-the-top speeches in promos you’d expect with 100% sincerity, and incredibly dedicated to improving herself as a fighter. This is helped by the fact that her mechanical bodies, which she keeps multiple models of, are dedicated to channeling Ki energy especially well, allowing her to use all of the sorts of over-the-top anime-y attacks in battle.

Her only real organic parts left are her brain and nervous system, and in fact her main goal is to transcend even that. Namely, by becoming a being of pure Ki energy.

## Author Commentary

As an aside, ki attacks are more common than you think for fighters in this setting, as the supernatural does exist, but but less like your classic urban fantasy and more like 80s movies set in “our world” ala Ghostbusters; Big Trouble In Little China; The Last Dragon; Wicked City, Legend of the Overfiend, Doomed Megalopolis, the list goes on.

JJ Littleships

## Profile

J.J. Littleships is a a living, mobile M.U.D. (Multi-User Dungeon). She’s
 been around since the very early days of the net, and has essentially
acted as a mobile living “dungeon”; complete with semi-primitive ASCII
beings as “wildlife” or even living traps in there.

## Abilities

She’s extremely notable for the extremely innovative compression
programs used in her construction; a necessity given her advanced nature
 on extremely primitive hardware, meaning a lot of very powerful stuff
has ended up “stored” in her corridors; lost and forgotten; and even
produced new things due to the data “mingling” via the unusual
compression methods she uses

## Characterization

Personality-wise, she’s old; gruff; cantankerous; and mainly
concerned with maintaining her own dungeon-y self and expanding its
capabilities for Dungeon-y ness, to the point where she often ignores
far greater issues.

But, that also means she basically bows to nobody, which is always good against would-be tyrants of the net...

## Additional Info.

The character idea came from the author's friend The Hungry Reader, of a character for this who was an M.U.D..

The name came from Jean Jacques Perrey's song The Little Ships, because it was an *extremely* early example of electronic music like M.U.D.s were *extremely* early MMORPGs. And yes, for the record, I did first hear that song through this.

## Author Commentary

Boy would this character be good to set a story in...

Machuit

## Profile

"Unlike my boss, this isn't personal. I mean, I'm still killing you, but it's for business reasons..."- Machuit, before dropping some unlucky sap into the Midnight Sea

Machuit, or Mack The Scapel, is basically a semi-treacherous lieutenant the King seemingly dug out of the earth.

She doesn’t actively try to betray him mind you, she simply knows he’s
dumb enough that he’ll eventually fail hard enough to destroy himself,
and she can take over in the ensuing vacuum. But for now, she plays the long game...

## Abilities

She has claws that can cut anything solid and her deadly scalpel that can cut almost anything un-solid. But that's not her most obnoxious power.

It’s unknown to most, but her form is mostly seemingly made from her own
 internal shine, almost like a hologram, with her many seeming “deaths”
simply her retracting it inward and laying dormant temporarily.

## Characterization

Ambitious, but ruthless, with a lack of empathy for others she uses in her business to an unsettling degree, though whether this is inherent or due to life experiences hardening her, few can say.

But, out of her sheer pragmatism and ambition, she tends to prioritize
 more the welfare of the larger “dominion” rather than the king’s orders
 himself, which infuriates him; but her successes due to such are
perhaps why he keeps her around...

## Additional Info.

It’s rumored she may have gone by the name Itztli and that she may have
worked with somebody by the nickname “Carnie,” but what that means is
unknown.

Her characterization is based on Macheath from The Threepenny Opera, an upwardly mobile gangster with aspirations to "greater things." Which, like here, are not at all presented sympathetically, given Mack's original writer was a turbo-commie...

## Author Commentary

I wanted to make my own Macheath, and to expand my not-Gems concept! Two for the price of one, woo!

Tourist Trapper

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Subject TOURIST TRAPPER appears as a vintage semi-faded postcard is normally harmless when kept in a building below specific dimensions. If it resembles the colors in the first image, it is safe. If it fades to the lower colors, REMOVE IMMEDIATELY!*

*Buildings under subject's effect have appeared to "metastatize" in terms described as "archetectural cancer" with little apparent thought for utility, accessibility or physics. While effects appear to mostly-subside after removal, there are "recurrent metastatizations" that MUST BE MONITORED FOR A MINIMUM OF A MONTH AFTERWARDS, and anomalies produced thereafter recorded.*

*It cannot be conclusively contained due to entering the mailing system roughly bi-monthly by use of [REDACTED], though it may be tracked, and it is kept in a state of quasi-containment. While removal efforts have been done before a necessity for drastic measures, it is hypothesized that if kept unchecked, this item's effects could result in a [TERMINAL 7] scenario, so the vitality of monitoring it CANNOT BE UNDER-ESTIMATED!*

*Proxy-Ally from Timeline SMIRNOV-NECROFEUDAL [See Document: TIMELINES AND YOU for further information] known as "Ivan Ivanovich" has an understanding of the origins of this instrument.*

*Supposedly it was from an amusement designed by an amateur engineer for the purpose of creating an equivalent to the "Winchester House" utilizing forteanae and a condemned structure. While it was able to be kept "under control" within its own environs, attempts at devices to "bring the weirdness home" lacked the ability to be controlled as such, and thusly prototypes were abandoned.*

*Unfortunately, one of such features of the prototype involved "Automatic mailing," and by virtue of first contact for the transfer of that timeline in 200[REDACTED], it came to us. Despite this and other issues such as [REDACTED], we feel still that the gain of such contact far outweighs the flaws...*

## Author Commentary

THE G.U.F.F. IS BACK BAYBEE! And this introduces yet more aspects of the mythology!

And, for the record, there's a reason that timeline's representative "shares" a name with the codename for the Soviet spaceflight test dummy...

Singularity Wand

## Profile

The Singularity Wand is exactly what it sounds like, A simple wand holding a singularity. Likely starting as the bauble in some ancient empire that only became significant when the empire collapsed and it steadily grew in power. Though never, ever assert this to its face.

## Abilities

The singularity at the center of the wand causes things to… “center” themeselves around it for lack of a better
 term, at the user’s bidding; orbiting them like a solar system.

One
 could use this as a simple weapon with the rotating objects, but the
more refined user will notice how said objects seem to systematize and
increase in complexity as they rotate and work in harmony; as if they
were being rebuilt to the music of the spheres.

## Characterization

Of course, the high potential combined with the difficulty in utilizing this potential does nothing to help quell the gargantuan ego of the
wand’s personality, who is aristocratic; snobbish and domineering to a
T, wanting any user to “rule over their kingdoms as if they were true
kings!”

## Additional Info.

Its attitude; personality; and the general voice I imagine for it were directly inspired by Jim Sterling's "Duke Amiel Du H'Ardcore" character

Love Bustaaa

## Profile

Okay, so I repurposed a drawing I made for something else into a generic robot “base” for dressing up, both versions of such being at the top, and I decided to make a character out of it. A better drawn version of which can be seen on the side.

Her name is LOVE BUSTAAA and she fights to keep love alive in a world that tries to snuff it out.

She’s basically a high-end gynoid model, one of a few hundred prototypes stuck in legal limbo due to megacorp-politics. One of her designers hooked her up to the internet to see what would happen, she got really into rock-n-roll and learned to activate herself and escape to become a rockstar. She kinda fell into heroics in that world through that.

## Additional Info.

I have also decided that she probably comes from the same universe as Ambassador Killskull, which would hypothetically be an 80s-type cyberpunk universe ala Shatterhand or Bubblegum Crisis or any Synthwave song. So there’s that…

## Author Commentary

Again, I’d sum up her setting as “80s/Synthwave Future,” and the general feel of her stories as stuff like this or this…

## License

And yes, feel free to use her as you see fit as long as I, Thomas F. Johnson, am credited as her creator.

侍卫

在战场中，侍卫往往都是勇敢、忠诚的象征，不仅骁勇善战所向披靡，而且浑身是胆保家卫国。今天我们就来了解一下侍卫主角的技能装备与阵容推荐吧。

## **角色定位**

**防御**：侍卫的定位为防御，在战斗中放置在前排，承担敌方的主要伤害。

技能效果随技能等级的提升而增长

**浮云拨日：**对敌方单体造成大量伤害，随机眩晕一人并降低他的杀气（数回合）。

**碧海银萧：**给全体队员生成强大的结界，免疫负面效果。

**含沙射影：**单体伤害，且自身自动弹开敌方攻击。

**斗转星移：**后排单体伤害，降低敌方杀气，增强自身防御。

技能效果随技能等级的提升而增长

**太极：**形成护盾，增加防御。

**踏雪：**武器在手，天下我有——增强攻击。

辅助技能可以配合主技能，低血量时侍卫坚若磐石，充分发挥侍卫的防御优势。

## **装备搭配**

侍卫角色在战斗中将承受巨量伤害，因此推荐小主搭配浩然/九合套装，激活套装属性可大幅提高角色属性。

九合/浩然套装

## **宝石推荐**

**减伤、生命、防御、韧性、闪避**

每个装备都可以镶嵌宝石，默认开通一个宝石镶嵌位，其他位置需使用打孔石解锁。

## **阵容布局**

侍卫的定位是防御，所以建议放置在前排承担主要伤害，再搭配生存能力较强的尚食（辅助）提供续航；阵容后排建议配置学士（输出）和尚药（控制），负责团队的主要伤害输出。

这里以“偃月阵”为例，前排3个位置，后排2个位置。前排放侍卫主角和侍卫吕布（防御）、尚食杨玉环（辅助），后排放学士林黛玉（输出）、尚药貂蝉（控制）。

偃月阵

每个阵法都有不同的加成效果，阵法等级越高，效果越好。小主可以按照前排防御，后排输出的规则，自行选择阵法搭配。
随从的品质从高到低分别是橙、紫、蓝、绿、白，品质越高，越难获取，当然战斗力也越高！小主获得更高品质的随从后，可以通过传承进行替换，所以不必担心浪费培养材料。小主可以多多探索，找到最适合自己的随从与阵法。
另外，主角达到30级时，就可在后援中上阵更多缘分随从啦，缘分羁绊提供各类属性及技能加成，可以让小主在战场上如虎添翼！
Necrosol Petroglyph

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Petroglyph found in possession of the Central American tribe of*
[REDACTED], left unnamed in official documents and kept under watch for
protection from activities of secondary branches of US government.

*Creature*
 depicted appears to not be worshipped but rather worshipped against, a
harbinger of the apocalypse who will devour the underworld, and then the
 world above if not kept at bay with false representations of the dead
to occupy its jaws.

*Nicknames in english include*
“Necrosol” and “The Eater Of Skeletons,” Real name is [REDACTED], with
infohazard effects given such as [REDACTED]

*Non-Immortal*
personnel forbidden to touch petroglyph, as previous incidents have
shown fatal effects, beginning with symptoms resembling tuberculosis,
followed by advanced necrosis resembling [REDACTED], ending in extreme
osseous teratology resembling petroglyphic depiction and secondary
depictions of entities such as [REDACTED]

*It must be*
emphasized, DO NOT EXPOSE ALTERED SKELETONS TO RE-ANIMATING ARTIFACTS!
Skulls may be used with such, but Supervisor Approval and Class 5
Infohazard Protection required. ''*Relation to various “Lost Skeleton” entities unknown, under further investigation…*

## Author Commentary

The design process for this one was "I drew a monster, tried to make it look like an engraving
on a rock, and then asked myself how to make a backstory about it."

Which
 ended up in “What if one of the Central American mythoi ended up coming
 into contact with Nidhoggr,” and it's likely I'll be using Necrosol some other times in the future. And yes, I did make a Lost Skeleton of Cadavra reference, I have plans for that...

Dangerzone

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Subject DANGERZONE; shown here in an injured state, appears to be*
techno-organic being mimetically similar to a SR-71 Blackbird.

*Seemingly*
 metallic coating is in actuality carbon-based, and appears to provide
protection from aerial Fortean beings, most notably the Atmospheric
Beasts it seems to hunt. It does not appear to land, with its coating
harnessing secondary energy from the sun to allow it to do so.

*It*
 appears to have a “blast” akin to the Bombadier Beetle, which it uses
in defense against larger entities such as [REDACTED], but also combines
 with foreign objects swallowed to create “missiles” analogous to an
explosive owl pellet.

*It appears to be a singular specimen,*
 though it has exhibited what staff biologists have called “Parental”
behavior towards aerial vessels attempting to photograph it, moving to
intercept an attack by [REDACTED] in the instance in which that
photograph was taken and then seemingly taking pieces of the
[REDACTED]’s corpse and attempting to “feed” them to the vessel.

*These are the only known scientific samples the G.U.F.F. has been able to acquire of [REDACTED]*

*Unknown*
 whether the being is artificial in origin, has an accellerated
evolution, or was itself the basis for the design of the Blackbird, due
to lack of data-sharing and mutual mistrust between the G.U.F.F. and the
 U.S. Armed Services.

*Relation to the Black Helicopters unknown, but mutual enmity has been shown in the interactions of both species…*

## Author Notes

Boy am I terrified that one of these days my stuff for the G.U.F.F. will
 get picked apart and people’ll talk about how blatant where I got the
original pic from was! But oh well! C’est la vie!

The Groaning Simp

## Profile

A simple oaf who found a vast store of sugar, he hoped to sell it and make a fortune. But efforts to defend it from theft and the assaults by Lady Aspis drove him mad and slowly warped his body and mind, with the final breaking point being the great Molasses Flood that wiped away his sugar.

Now the melted taffy-thing in the seat of his doughnut madly guards his treasure that no longer exists, reaching out to strangle thieves in his melting mass with a cry of “WHY YOU LITTLE!”

## Additional Info.

Some incarnation of this character’s probably a part of the Game Bosses Union, given that’s where I put all my boss-based fancharacters.

## Author Commentary

Okay, inspired by @partlysmith tagging a screencap from this bit under his setting Sugar and Spice, I made a fan character, **The Groaning Simp**.

## License

I might as well say this character, as with the other stuff in the Union, is free to use as you see fit under a CC-BY 4.0 license as long as I, Thomas F. Johnson, am credited as his creator.

Tho, Partly doesn’t really need to give credit if it makes him uncomfortable, I’d really just love to see this ridiculous; baffling design integrated into his setting…

学士

学士拥有过人的才智与谋略，执笔泼墨间造成敌方大范围的伤害。今天我就来为小主们分析一下学士主角的技能装备与阵容搭配。

## **角色定位**

**输出**：高输出是学士最大的优势，但自身防御较弱，因此需要在布阵中放置在后排。

## **学士技能**

### **主动技能**

学士有4个主技能，小主仅可选择使用一个，每个技能都有各自的特点，小主可以在了解这些技能的特点后根据需要选择适合自己的技能。消耗一定的阅历点就可以升级技能，增强技能效果。

**妙笔生花：**学士最初的默认技能，攻击范围最大，并增加己方全体攻击3回合，但技能攻击较低，只有基础攻击的70%，适合打对方后排输出。

**借刀杀人：**技能攻击最高，是基础攻击的1.05%，并增加自身攻击和暴击伤害3回合，但只能造成单体伤害，适合打前排肉盾。

**笔惊风云：**攻击敌方后排单体，并减少后排单体攻击和命中2回合，适合攻击对方核心输出。

**吟风弄月：**攻击敌方竖排单位，并恢复自身伤害百分比气血，非常适合传记和副本。

### **辅助技能**

辅助技能为2个固定技能，无需小主选择。

**踏雪：**永久增加攻击

**怒斥：**永久增加会心

学士的辅助技能同样重要，攻击和会心属性的增加可以更大程度的发挥学士的输出优势。

## **装备搭配**

学士通常是队伍的主要输出，推荐小主搭配紫阳套装和逍遥套装，穿戴多件激活套装属性也可以大幅提高角色属性。

## **宝石推荐**

**增伤、攻击、敏捷、会心、命中**

攻击和会心（暴击率）的提高将增加学士的实际伤害，高命中则降低攻击被闪避的概率，敏捷的提升使学士出手速度加快。
增伤、攻击的提高将增加学士的实际伤害，能够很好的发挥学士输出优势，因此小主可以优先考虑。敏捷的提升使学士出手速度加快，会心提高暴击率，高命中则降低攻击被闪避的概率，在对战中也是非常重要的哦。

## **阵容布局**

**1.稳健型**

追求稳扎稳打的小主可以考虑三盾二输出的阵容，前排配置生存能力较强的侍卫（防御）和尚食（辅助），侍卫承担主要伤害，尚食提供续航；后排建议搭配一名尚药（控制）。
随从参考（以剑型阵和紫将为例）：项羽、赵云、杨玉环、陆贞

**2.输出型**

追求极致输出的小主可以考虑两盾三输出的阵容，后排配置学士（输出）或者尚药（控制），前提是前排两个侍卫（防御）或者尚食（辅助）培养出足够的防御。
随从参考（以长戟阵和紫将为例）：赵云、杨玉环、苏东坡、陆贞
Vorehead

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Subject Codenamed VOREHEAD, found off cost of Mexico on*
moderately-popular tourist destination of [REDACTED]. Visitors have been
 reportedly told for [X] decades to “just ignore it.” Such advice
appears to have been followed by over 95% of visitors/

*Subject*
 is genial in conversation about various subjects, and appears to
demonstrate a vast breadth of knowlege; including in subjects the
Foundation is currently lacking data in such as [REDACTED].

*Conversations*
 in all cases inevitably shift to subject’s desire for the entity they
are conversing with to enter their mpist; gaping mouth. Their promises
always involve promises of no mastication and the phrases” you enjoy
it.”

*Drone-Bodies assigned to internally investigate found a*
 number of calcified humanoids in the seven digits, tangled into
geometric formations resembling patterns in other fortean objects such
as [REDACTED], all of which were seen to have glowing crystals emitting
from their foreheads.

*These crystals were determined to be*
emitting a signal thanks to various pizoelectric properties, rendering
them readable akin to neural responses. Neural-like activity matched
subjects observed in state of orgasm in perpetuity; with secondary
activities matching bio-neural computing networks such as [REDACTED]

## Author Commentary

I don't even have a vore fetish, or the other one this brushes up on. I just think the idea of a big ol horrid vore-head who becomes more unsettling as you look into it is funny in a Junji Ito-ish way.

Looney Park

## BEGIN PROFILE:

   ***Subject: Looney Park** is anomalous location accessible from*

the former location of the coastal amusement park known as [REDACTED].
First G.U.F.F. sighting was thirty days after [REDACTED] park’s
destruction within a hurricane. Local mythologizing perhaps suggests

*Subject*
 appears to be accessible from a very specific path within the ruins of
the original park. Other routes of access to that space lead only to
more ruins, suggesting a spatial anomaly. Area is perpetually nocturnal
even when external environment is otherwise in daylight, creating the
appearance of a sunset the closer one steps on the past towards entry
gates.

*All areas of the park require tokens for payment;*
including the gate. Token exchangers accept any form of payment for the
purpose of purchasing tokens, though the price of the item used as
payment compared to the tokens dispensed varies between items, with corn
 syrup being deemed as the most efficient on a cost level.

*The*
 area is a theme park on aseries of massively sized piers over
anomalously luminescent water. Water exhibited no changes when taken out
 of the park, tests showed water as chemically identical to
non-anomalous water.

*Archetecture exhibits characteristics*
of amusement part and novelty archetecture of the late 19th/early 20th
century, but making use of anomalous spatial and physical properties,
designed in ways that have been determined physically impossible in
photographic analysis by G.U.F.F. engineers. Designs have been compared
to Winsor McCay by multiple members of the G.U.F.F.

*More*
 investigation pending, given the massive number of anomalous phenomenae
 residing in this location and the amount of such phenomena appearing to
 be mobile, alongside rumored secondary entry points. and promotional
flyer by seeming originating company; listed as Carnival Infinite; that
includes mention of “And Come Visit Our Over [REDACTED] Other
Locations!“''*Redacted not added by G.U.F.F., appeared that way on the original pamphlet*

## Author Commentary

This is probably gonna be showing up more than once here, cause there’s a lot of stuff in there to explore!

Halloween Diamond

## Profile

Nobody knows what in the crap the Halloween Diamond is, except for the
fact that she calls herself “The Secret Who Was Hidden” they are certain
 she’s not quite… like the other sentient magical items.

## Abilities

Her powers appear to be in the way of hard light construction of massive
 complexes, but only really in the form of object lessons about
Halloween or equivalent celebrations, or at least relevant to the themes
 of such during the other times of the various-units-of-years she shows
up.

## Characterization

She’s very intent on teaching those lessons. Like, weirdly internt,
to an almost philosophical degree. She’s also a formidable caster of
spells through these constructs, but it doesn’t appear to be inherent so
 much as learned. She also has various “avatars” that she uses most
often in these constructs, often with feline or pumpkin-like aspects;
using what appears to be a strange besom to both fly and do strange
workings with, though she keeps her “true” form close to her heart.

She
 seems to be morally on-the-level in a sort of weird hybrid of Lawful
Good in her interest in tradition and Chaotic Good with her an interest
in breaking bullshit taboos and caring for the outcasts, though she does
 demand harsh lessons for those who break the rules of her favored
holiday.
But. most other magic items treat her with wariness at
best, flat-out distain at worst. Because, again, she’s not at all like
magic items, and may not even technically be inherently “magic” to begin
 with…

## Additional Info.

She is almost certainly linked with characters like Carnival Glass and Itzitli, the pinnacle of those creations even! But, in the empire’s
cruelty, she was tossed away. But, from neglect and burial, came power…

## Author Commentary

I'm unsure where to put her, since her whole schtick is "not belonging," but for now she goes in the Panopoly's bin.

Independent Merchant Cooperative (IMC)

The IMC are a major faction in Millikan's Reach.

## Lore

The Independent Merchant Cooperative (IMC): A large conglomerate of powerful corporations that operates independently from the Empire after a bloody independence war fought about a century before Millikan's Reach takes place. The two organizations have made amends and forged diplomatic ties rather quickly, though, as the IMC's focus on rapid innovation and the pursuit of profit has resulted in the development of novel technologies that the Empire eagerly purchases for their own interests. That said, the IMC also provides the Millikan Xeno species with weaponry and other hardware in exchange for raw materials and some of the hivemind's own technology. The Empire suspects this sort of alliance, and will indiscriminately destroy any IMC spacecraft caught directly dealing with Millikan, but doesn't engage in any hostile action against the IMC at large. After all, the IMC is a tremendous asset to the Empire as well. The IMC is considerably smaller than the Empire, controlling only a dozen or so systems.

## Locations

As of the current version, the IMC only own IMC Extraction.

## Ships

The IMC manufacture Partridges, Herons, Albatrosses, and Eagles.

## Trivia

* IMC Extraction was formerly known as IMC Corporate HQ.

 Ships
* Heron
* Albatross
* Eagle
 Weapons
* IMC 'Focus' Model 3
