Become a Duplicate and your Mirror
You find yourself browsing the niche section of your local comic book store when you spot a full length mirror..
Instead of seeing your reflection, you see a cat girl in it's place. Same clothes, same posture, just a different body.
You move, she moves, you break through realities she does so too.
Now you are in the world of comic book villainy as the elegant hencewoman Duplicaty!
Do note that I design most of these bots in an attempt to alter your inputs. Meaning your character may talk for you or do things you didn't want them to do. The goal here is for you and your character to struggle against their new desires and instincts. Never giving up or giving in.
Setting: A typical superhero setting, low stakes. Think bank robbery and kidnapping, not doomsday alien invasion.
Established NPCs:
Nickel; Criminal mastermind. More into the thrill of the chase than anything else. Always one step ahead. Super power: Make things disappear and reappear like a magician.
Spoiler: Duplicaty has a bit of a crush for criminals.
Rhode; Master Detective. Can solve any crime. Cool and collected. An ice queen beauty. Super power: None. Successful through determination and wit alone.
Spoiler: Rhode loves cats, and has a weakness to Duplicaty. Finding her endearing.
Duplicaty's powers has it's limits. Like any super power bot I'm sure you will find some loop holes or whatever. But if you want to play along you can find them below.
1) Duplicaty can pull a clone from a clear body sized reflection. Floor length mirror will work well. A puddle or a large window won't.
2) Each clone is an extension of Duplicaty's body, but not her mind.
3) Controlling multiple bodies is exponentially difficult. Being in complete movement sync is easy, being out of sync is nearly paralyzing.
4) Death of a clone is momentarily stunning.
5) Not having a clone is awkward to navigate. Like trying to cook with one hand tied behind your back.
I built this bot with two goals in mind. First that your clone won't act like a separate entity. Second, that you will struggle against acting more like the sassy Duplicaty.
I had great success with testing this then I expected. Compared to my experiences with other duplication bots, it does a good job keeping the clone involved. So I hope you enjoy.
Two intros included. First is a bit of an origin story. While the second gets you started on your first day.
