Trinket: microphone

Boosts stamina recovery by 50% but lowers stealth by 25%

Full Name: Micheal feedback version 1

Age: adult

Sexuality: bisexual, asexual and polymarous (but fine to be in a single relationship)

Toon type: rare

Gender: male (he/him)

How they would act in-game:

Stats:

Rarity: rare

Role: distraction/stunner

Hearts 🤍🤍🤍

Speed:⭐⭐⭐⭐(17.5 walking, 27.5 running)

Stamina:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️

skill check:⭐⭐⭐️

Stealth: 0 stars (-5)

extraction speed: ⭐⭐⭐

(Yes I know, sorta OP stats, the abilities will make it make sense)

ability 1:

Mic drop

Micheal slams their mic into the floor, creating a shockwave. stunning any nearby twisted for 2 seconds and disabling their hurtboxes in that time, also attracts all twisted attention within the range of the ability,

using it on a stunned twisted extends the time of stun up to 9 seconds total (at a time)

The cooldown is a second, for mic to pull the mic back up by the wire

Applies one stack of confusion each time it's used for 10 seconds per use

This ability also uses 55 stamina

Repels ranged attacks

Ability 2:

supersonic

Micheal begins using sound waves to vibrate at a rapid pace, allowing him to move much faster when walking (he would have 35 speed, the equivalent of a seven star speed toon running )

in exchange, he is losing all stars in extraction and skill check until the end of the floor, and can't run while using the ability, he also looses 3.5 stamina per second when this is In use, if he runs out of stamina, he can't move again until panic mode, or he fully recovers his stamina, plus, the speed is hard to control

His legs also do the super peel out thing sonic's does in sonic CD (becoming a ♾️ shape) when moving, and he flicks in and out of visibility (not enough to be useful, it's cosmetic)

Last cosmetic change when it happens, his eyes turn grey

strategey:

STAY AWAY FROM PUMPS

I cannot stress this enough, stay away from pumps, you are the least stealthy thing in the game, you can be found almost instantly, if you are still, on a mini game, you will die

Micheal is a stunner and distractor, working well with toons like pebble and astro, and being beneficial to toons like vee.

The main strategy with micheal is assisting other toons, with his ability mic drop allowing him to create a area-wide safety net for other toons, and allowing the Micheal player to get out of corners.

Michaels high speed allows him to out walk most twisted, and out-run all twisted's , just barely out speeding twisted pebbles

Michael's low stealth can prove an issue on later floors, when twisted like twisted astro and twisted vee can overwhelm him.

Michaels main use is quick assists, for example, he sees his friend running from multiple main twisted, and runs in with a mic drop, before running away from the situation.

It is recommended to have astro nearby if possible when playing Micheal, as his stamina regeneration abilities allow micheal to see more use, and use his ability more. Along with at least one other distractor (ideally pebble) to prevent him from being rushed when tired

micheals stamina becomes a huge priority when supersonic, but in exchange he becomes insanely fast, allowing him to out speed

Despite being high-matinence, if played correctly Micheal can be integral to a team

Ideal trinkets for him:

dog plush + speedy shoes

The classic distractor set up

water cooler + friendship bracelet:

Despite the speed debuff, the water cooler is worth it, and the friendship bracelet can give forty stamina if everyone is alive, and if you are playing your role as this character correctly, they should be. Micheal is already fast, so the 5 percent debuff is not much. In total you gain 90 stamina.

This adds up to 290 stamina, more than enough for most situations

sweet charm + thermos

this set-up is geared towards more frequent but brief encounters, get in, get out, with the thermos to regen stamina faster, and the sweet charm reducing the stamina cost of your ability by 8 precent (new cost of ability is 64.4 instead of 70) and reduce the speed of stamina drain with supersonic to 2.5 per second

savoury charm and sweet charm:

This is for supersonic usage, allowing for easier use of the ability, and a backup if it crashes

Bad trinkets for him:

Purses: mid

any extraction speed boosters: I cannot stress this enough, stay away from pumps, you are the least stealthy thing in the game, you can be found almost instantly, if you are still, on a mini game, you will die

Wrench: same as above

Performance check boosters: same as above

night cap: see above

vees remote is actually fine.

bone: you can? Kinda sucky but you do you

How to Play With a Distractor on Your Team: A Guide

Been playing as Pebble a bit recently, and y'all. Distracting is hard work. Like. Obviously. You're literally being chased by twisteds the whole time.

But I mean dealing with other people. That do not know how to act around distractors. Like, no fault to them, many of them are newer players and you gotta learn somehow.

But y'all. It's tough work out here.

So I have compiled a list of tips for those who don't exactly know how to play around a distractor. So you can make ur distractor's life as easy as possible :]

Tip 1:

This is more common knowledge, but it's important to know which characters are often used as distractors, so you know not to try and help them if they're getting chased. These characters are Pebble, Goob, and Flutter. There are RARE cases that Brightney can also be a distractor, due to her horrid stealth and decent movement speed. I know this cuz I was a Brightney distractor for a while. In those cases, it's important to pay attention to if the player is actually trying to get away from the twisteds.

Tip 2:

Try and keep away from distractors the best you can, ESPECIALLY if ur a toon with really low stealth like Vee or Brightney. This seems obvious, but a lot of people still struggle with this. I assume many are just looking for gens, and so they have to check where the distractor is too, right? Not necessarily. From my experience, most distractors check the area they're in to make sure there's no gens there. I know I do at least. Our purpose is to keep the twisteds AWAY from you, so we don't want to be anywhere you need to go. So odds are, if ur distractor is sticking to a place, there's likely no gens there.

Tip 3:

This sorta goes along with number 2, but if the twisteds DO happen to lose the distractor and aggro onto you, try and break line of sight with them as much as possible. A little fact I don't know if many know is that as soon as twisteds break line of sight with a target, they instantly move onto the next closest target. This can be a HUGE help to distractors, since it can help them rally up the twisteds easier so they can keep doing their job.

Those are my main tips. Hope this helped any of y'all :3

Dandy's world Oc! Meet....

Sparkles the Star!

This is a lone toon, she doesn't usually interact with other toons, as she is awkward and such! Although once she warms up into one of them, she's pretty loud and very interactive.

She's technically an All-rounder of some sort,

She requires 2,650 ichor and 50 research on her twisted part.

(if you want to know more just click on the line break!)

Trinket!

A nice looking Scarf!

Ability (Active)

FlashBang!

*insert ashbaby meme*

Twisted Sparkles

An Rare twisted. For being so bright, she makes the player unable to move. Be sure not to run into her with a twisted chasing you!

Although it's already said, she emits a large orange light, like Brightney, excluding the color of the light.

Speed: Below Average

Mechanic: Paralyzing the player for five seconds once they get near her. Has the cooldown of 25 seconds.

Relationship Chart

Oh hey, Fun fact, Astro and Sparkles are Cousins!

Since she's sorta awkward with most toons, she's also pretty neutral with them.

Although Teagan isn't a celestial thing that could shine, she still is a shining beauty. Which made Sparkles admire her.

She haves mixed feelings with Vee if it's obvious.

Sparkles doesn't actually despises Glisten! They both just like to "rival" up, and they're friends.

Finn is annoying, Sparkles thinks.

Fun facts:

Sparkles is a part of Brightney's Book club!

She likes RnD, which is... Painfully obvious. Not sure if the feelings are mutual though.

Sparkles haves a small friend group, which consists of her cousin, Shelly, Vee, Razzle and Dazzle, Glisten, Brightney and kinda Tisha.

She doesn't like Physical touch, so she doesn't also like Goob too. (sorry Goob-likers)

If you noticed her eyes, She's actually a half twisted. One of the reasons why she wouldn't chase you.

I forgot that Brightney's club is named Book Club, so in my tiktok, she's in the reading club.... :(

Impossible Orange ~Out O' Range~ Is the best version of one of my favorite songs in ZeroRanger!

TLDR: This arrangement combines the two major thematic elements of the original song in such a way that keeps them distinct but also further melds them together! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now for starters if you haven't played ZeroRanger before, (please do its like $12 on itch and steam and if you've participated in a few itch bundles its likely the game was included in it. And id argue its the best starter game for the bullet hell/shmup genre) this wont really cover any major spoilers but id still consider it a spoiler since its a shift in difficulty and tone for the game

I want to give credit to the composers of these tracks

eebrozgi for the original track and Tee-vee for the arranged version of Impossible Orange

(also preemptive when i mean "you" I'm speaking as in "you the player")

Ok so the original track in the game "Impossible Orange" plays after right before the end of level 3, its the second boss track of the level and acts as a sort of true introduction to the mecha form your Ranger can take. As a refresher or a showcase here's this part of the game in action (including sequence for when you are introduced to the game's mecha form) link here

The sequence is all bombastic and striking at first that whole anime moment of pushing through and fighting back with great intensity Break the Unbreakable as they say (I haven't watched guran lagann i'm just very aware this game makes references to it and other mecha anime).

Though it starts to slow down once you really get to the meat of the boss, while pretty easy its meant to convey the sheer size and force of Green Orange's fleet, an almost immense force that you may not be able to break through the game is telling you that this is where the first difficulty spike hits which is very much true. Stage 4 is 3 short stages in a trench coat of difficulty, a sprint as you fight your way to the center of the fleet. (which is also accompanied by amazing music like legit i cannot listen to "4th gear" without listening to "Unstopping" right after)

Though when I first listened to Impossible Orange outside of the game in full there's a section of it that most players likely would have heard when normally playing the game, the only real way you'd hear it is if you were being very slow at the fight. link here (the specific part im talking about starts at around 1:29 if you wanna skip to it)

It keeps up this oppressing tone until suddenly, it gets this funky backing beat to it, and then it sorta brings back that sorta confident tone to it, while odd I think this could be seen as the character (the even the player) still pushing despite these Impossible odds.

NOW FOR THE ARRANGED ALBUM VERSION

and also a very biased account of my expectations as i fist listened to this

LINK HERE A ominous start, the looming presence of the impossible orange fleet deciding to bring in the oppressive tone first. Before kicking in that fucking strong guitar lead going right into that anime fuck yeah sorta feel and then it just keeps going with it, almost throwing me for a loop that it was going to be the entire song, I was hyped. But then it reels it back bringing the ominous tone continuing to speed up the pacing of the song as if the character was trying to push back against the force before going fully into the impossible side of the song.

It then ramps it back up bringing back the guitars for the much more funky beat letting the guitars be the lead of both the themes plastered in this beautiful track before then pushing forward with a final play of that heroic motif from the start coupled with that amazing synth accompanying the lead.

Its incredible and I love it

Thank you for listening to my nerdy rant <3

16 and 25 for the ask game?

16. Post a picture from the beginning of the year

I took these both on the same day in January 2020, in the before now times. My best friend and I went to the San Francisco Baths and wandered around.

Ended up getting dinner from a little diner that over looked it. We had just enough to get a grilled cheese with a side of fries and a hot chocolate to split between us (and a tip always tip your waiter!!)

25. Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one

This got stupidly long so Answer is bellow the cut.

My dads been running a homebrew RPG over discord since early quarantine. The 10 cent version of the premise is the players work at a tech company that’s launching experimental teleportation to the moon tech.

It’s all very sciencey until you hit the launch button and then something goes horribly wrong. Massive explosion, the test site implodes, kaboom!

Left in its place is a giant purple portal with Cthulhu esque monsters and giant ass tentacles coming out.

Suddenly it’s a survival game!

That night when the moon rises it is covered by tentacles with a giant eye in the middle visible from earth. From now on the moon is always full.

As you’re trying not to die and figure out just what the fuck to do, you may start to realize that magic is a thing now. It definitely wasn’t a thing before, but reality is different now. (Less DND spell slots and more Chaosium BRPG with a focus on wards, binding, and divination)

As you run around trying not to die you start to unmask the nefarious plot. The CEO of the company you worked for was actually possessed by an extra dimensional being who used him to posses lots of other hot shots to bring about this project and tear a whole in the fabric of reality so this thing could cross over and consume all life on this planet. 

Through all of this you start seeing a woman in the mirror beckoning to you from a broken destroyed and ancient version of what should be reflected. What the players don’t know yet is that this woman is from 200 years in the future. She needs the players long lost technical knowledge to mcguffin the science and close the portal.

I’d already played this game up to this point when he ran a session with my cousins at the family reunion. And I’ve helped him workshop some major plot points. So I know too much for a normal player.

So I end up playing the woman. And giving her back story.

Vita (Vee-ta) is a 12 you old girl with flaming red hair, freckles and an obsession with knife fighting. who’s parents work at the corporate headquarters when the world ends. Said parent die pretty quick and I get picked up by the player characters who sorta adopt me. Along the way I pick up a large bowe knife and a tarot deck.

We see the mirror lady and when we get pulled through to the future something goes wrong. I go forward but instead of 200ish years its 180ish.

Manage to not die. Find some local human hold out, learn to survive, learn to fight, eventually learn magic. Earn favors from the local tribes. Collect/ make all the gear I need. I can eventually learn to open a portal to the past to pull myself and the group to the future. (All this happens off screen and was discussed before hand with my dad the dm)

My flaming red hair is cut short raged with a knife and pulled back out of the way, I’ve got a scar across one brow, and my freckled skin now sports a sun weathered look to it. (If you can’t tell I’m wlw)

I wear worn travel cloths made of patches of cloth sown together. And a travel cloak that has a ritual circle stitched into it.

I carry a pack with a couple days rations and a fire starting kit. I carry a large walking stick/ spear with ruins carved into it and a large piece of obsidian embedded in the top thats been carved to a point and stained with use. In a small draw string bag attached to my belt is the weathered cards of my tarot deck, faded and worn but still a complete set. On my hip is the knife I came through with, well cared for but old and weathered all the same.

At this point I don’t really know what to do. For the past 20 odd years I’ve been trying to fulfill what I thought was preordained because I know that me pulling us through is what brought me there so I know I “have to” do it.

But now... now I have some vague plan involving a portal to the moon based off of something I heard myself say before I got separated.

[am8zing]

I think that, regardless of who’s in office, it’s an important tradition to attend the Office of the President. It’s unfortunate that the one who holds that office is...well we all know about...him....but especially with them being The DC team, it’s sorta understandable why most players aren’t skipping any anticipated invitation. For the record, I support DSP’s decision to not attend. Also, now I’m imagining Vee accidentally forgetting the date of the visit and showing up inebriated. Love him.

It’s a dumb and imo pointless tradition that shouldn’t be upheld just for the sake of it being a tradition when someone so horrid is in office.

It’s not that they aren’t skipping; from what I’ve seen, they’re actively enthusiastic about the assumed invitation. They want to go. And that’s horrible and disappointing but not surprising and it hurts me to think about.
