What If? Your Avatar to the Rescue.

[Sailor.X]

In this scenario the ROB is taking your Avatar and sending it on a few missions in the Multiverse. Here are the missions.

1: NBSG. Your Avatar appears 1 week before the fall of Caprica. It's mission is to either warn the Human Fleet of the impending Cylon Attack or Neutralize the Cylon Skin jobs in the fleet.

2: The Lord of the Rings. Your Avatar appears just before the fellowship of the ring is formed. Your Avatars task is to protect Frodo and help him get the Ring to Mount Doom. Brownie points if you bump off Saurons forces along the way.

3: Terminator 3. Your Avatars mission is to stop Judgement Day. All tactics are fair.

4: A Quiet Place 2. Your Avatars mission is to help humanity stop the Alien monsters. Your Avatar arrive one week before they do.

5: Jeepers Creeper. Your Avatar must find a way to help defeat the Creeper.

6: The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. Your Avatar must help Sinbad and his crew get the Magic Lamp for the wizard in order to restore the Princess to normal size. Or do so by other means.

7: Clash of the Titans. Your Avatar must find a way to defeat the Kraken. All tactics fair.

Your Avatar will act like they normally do and will approach the situation from that perspective. However in extraordinary situations they can bend their normal morals to get the job done. Your Avatar will also have access to all the gear and equipment they normally have by act of ROB up to and including a Base of operations. And if your Avatar is a vehicle or ship they will have whatever named crew they would normally have doing the mission. So what does your Avatar do in each of the missions? Can they make a difference?

Edit: If your Avatar is Gigantic the ROB will scale it down to the size of Legendary Godzilla.

 

[Jormungandr]

Uh, for the more fantasy-orientated worlds, like Lord of the Rings, Clash of the Titans, the antagonists of those settings are going to have bad times all around.

I mean, it's a gigantic, god-like snake that can only be harmed by other deities, and it's capable of swallowing entire armies/foes... not to mention causing global devastation by simply letting go of its tail.

So, um. Yeah.

Yeah your Avatar is beyond normal Kaiju size. He is Natural Disaster size.

 

[bintananth]

Mine is Cutey Honey. She's an android with a fan-servicy transformation sequence capable creating objects from thin air who fights villians.

How she'd do in the various scenarios:

#1: She'd make things worse just by being there due to what she is.

#2, #3, #6: She's got this. In #2 and #6 she'd need to overcome sexism to be taken seriously or act covertly.

#4, #5, #7: I'm not familiar with those so I can't say.

 

[Jormungandr]

Yeah your Avatar is beyond normal Kaiju size. He is Natural Disaster size.

Well, it's said he encompasses the whole world once over from tail-to-mouth, but whether they mean Earth as we know it now or what the Norse knew of the world (so just over a continent or two e.g. Europe, Africa, Asia) is debatable.

Still... fantasy foes are sort-of fucked unless they have an actual deity on their sides, and nuclear weapons may do fuck all to it aside from irritating it or giving it a case of sunburn.

On the other hand, the cylons, for example, in orbit, would be safe because they'd be out of its reach. Well, unless they fly too close, but that's more of a stupidity thing on their part, lol.

Well due to your Avatar's size. I will make a special exception. Your Avatar will gain the ability to shrink down to Legendary Godzilla size. That way destruction to the world is on a more manageable scale.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

I mean...I've got a giant sentient robot chock full of Kick Ass, Charisma and Leadership...and a Super Ninja that likes Uzis!

1. Might have to keep Optimus in whatever vehicle form he takes because...yeah...the Capricans would just shit a brick. Snake Eyes can do Ninja Things and hunt all the skin jobs...starting with Baltar's favorite.

2. Optimus destroys anything that threatens Frodo, and Snake Eyes just makes sure nothing manages to sneak past Optimus.

3. Yeah...Snake Eyes would be challenged here, but the Terminator is just toast when it angers Optimus. Who knows, maybe Optimus adopts Skynet and raises it right...teaching it about the do's and don'ts and how every being deserves freedom.

4. Don't know the monsters here.

5. Jeepers is D-U-N.

6. Assuming Optimus doesn't sink Sinbad's boat, this one is in the bag too.

7. Just to be different, Snake Eyes will hypnotize the Kraken and send it back to sleep.

 

[Crom's Black Blade]

Hmmm, my Avatar's Elric of Melnibone. Number 2 is going to be interesting. Not least that I don't think Stormbringer would allow Elric to become enamored with another mystical artifact and might just destroy the One Ring in a pique. Barring that Elric is an accomplished fighter and skilled sorcerer that will very much make him OP against anything other than, maybe, a Balrog or Sauron himself.

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

My avatar is a Warrior of Light from FFXIV.

1. The Warrior of Light won't hold much influence in Caprican society. Will more than likely be laughed at as an overly imaginative kid due to his appearance. He will be lucky if his warning is heard by the military, let alone taken seriously.


2. Nothing changes much. The WoL is a powerful swordsman but is still a mortal man. Won't be able to kill the Maiar. No slaying the Balrog in Moria and no killing Sauron. Probably just reduced casualties at Helm's Deep, Pellenor, and the Black Gate.

As aforementioned, succumbing to the One Ring is a possibly, as the WoL comes from a very materialistic setting where acquiring magical artifacts to fight the enemy is the norm. The idea of spiritual corruption would not be easy to grasp at first.


7. Unless the Kraken kind sticks his head out over a platform while the WoL slashes at his chin, the WoL will be unable to slay the Kraken.

 

[bintananth]

6. Assuming Optimus doesn't sink Sinbad's boat, this one is in the bag too.

That would be all Snake Eyes unless Optimus has an alternate way of assisting because he is too big fit on and too heavy to be carried by ships of Sinbad's era and origin.

 

[Sailor.X]

I am pretty sure Optimus Prime was able to travel on the ocean in vehicle mode during one G1 episode.

 

[Agent23]

In #2 and #6 she'd need to overcome sexism to be taken seriously or act covertly.

Wasn't she able to kinda-sorta shapeshift, too?

In any case, she just needs to find a nice, big orc and crack its skull, that will give her the proper creds, like in prison.

As to Rory, well Best Girl probably takes this easily!

1. Kill Baltar and capture the Six he was fucking, prevent the infection of the fleet and make sure there is a very nasty surprise for the Cylons if they still do decide to attack.
I imagine that prominent people dying and disappearing will cause enough of a ruckus to get the Colonials to look into wtf is going on.

2. Rory is an immortal demigod from a fantasy universe that is arguably better at magic than LotR, and she did quite well against heavily armed special forces units, too, she stomps.

3. She can take out the T-X, maybe raid the lab where skynet is being developed and blow it up.

4. No idea.

5. No idea.

6. I think she will do fine.

7. I have seen bits and pieces of that movie, I think she will do ok, demigod and all.

In this scenario the ROB is taking your Avatar and sending it on a few missions in the Multiverse. Here are the missions.

1: NBSG. Your Avatar appears 1 week before the fall of Caprica. It's mission is to either warn the Human Fleet of the impending Cylon Attack or Neutralize the Cylon Skin jobs in the fleet.

I don't see Wesley succeeding here. He's not especially powerful but omniskilled, but he has neither any authority nor any particular power nor any real understanding of how machines work that might make him successful. If Wesley were from a sci-fi setting instead he might be able to pull it off.

2: The Lord of the Rings. Your Avatar appears just before the fellowship of the ring is formed. Your Avatars task is to protect Frodo and help him get the Ring to Mount Doom. Brownie points if you bump off Saurons forces along the way.

Wesley would make a pretty swell addition to the fellowship. His willpower's fairly strong and he'll likely be able to resist the ring for quite a while using the power of True Love. He's likely worth at least a dozen orcs in combat and can keep up with the others.

Of all the missions, this is the one where he'd made canon go off the rails the hardest, because while physically capable, Wesley's primary attribute is that he's very clever on top of it and while nobody in the Fellowship is stupid, they don't really have a specific smart guy besides Gandalf, who's primarily magic smarts and not tactics or street smarts the way Wesley is. His high level of skill at sailing may encourage them to take a sea route for part of the trip which would avoid a ton of the problems they'd otherwise face, but also might get them blown off course if Saruman sends a storm at them leading to entirely new threats and adventures.

3: Terminator 3. Your Avatars mission is to stop Judgement Day. All tactics are fair.

Fail. Wesley is clever but a sword is no weapon to bring to a Terminator fight. All tactics fair is normally pretty powerful with him but he has no effective tools in this situation, while he can probably figure out how to use a gun easily enough the time it will take him to get up to speed just on modern tech will hose him, much as it would for Battlestar Galactica.

4: A Quiet Place 2. Your Avatars mission is to help humanity stop the Alien monsters. Your Avatar arrive one week before they do.

Unless ROB gives Wesley some foreknowledge the extra week won't help. He may be able to figure out the alien weakness or not, but probably not a whole lot faster than happened in canon. Best case he's going to add a bit to the alien casualty list and maybe slightly reduce the human one, but no massive changes.

5: Jeepers Creeper. Your Avatar must find a way to help defeat the Creeper.

Does a way to defeat the Creeper beyond absolutely massive damage actually exist? The Creeper doesn't seem to have any kind of exploitable weakness like garlic of silver that Wesley might sus out and employ so he won't be able to easily leverage his intelligence, and he's not on the physical level to fight the Creeper hand to hand.

6: The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. Your Avatar must help Sinbad and his crew get the Magic Lamp for the wizard in order to restore the Princess to normal size. Or do so by other means.

Yeah honestly trying to think of a mission more perfectly suited to Wesley's skillset, and failing. He was born for this job.

7: Clash of the Titans. Your Avatar must find a way to defeat the Kraken. All tactics fair.

Yeah, Wesley can win this one if all tactics are fair. Imma presume Buttercup is replacing Andromeda to give him more motivation which should let True Love kick in, but basically this one plays directly into his normal skillset, albeit the monster is much tougher than he's taken on before. He probably won't do as well as Perseus though, Perseus isn't a pushover to begin with and also has a lot of divine backing Wesley lacks.

 

[Agent23]

I don't see Wesley succeeding here.

Wesley?
I thought you were Zorro.

 

[Bear Ribs]

Wesley?
I thought you were Zorro.

Nay, my Avatar is Wesley, the Dread Pirate Roberts of the Great fantasy/comedy movie The Princess Bride.

He does stack up fairly well to Zorro in swordplay though.

 

[bintananth]

Wesley?
I thought you were Zorro.

Zorro has a hat and cape. Wesley doesn't. He's got oversized bandana instead.

Their costumes are pretty similar so it's easy to mis-ID them.

Out-of universe I always assumed they were deliberately going for a Zorro look to give Wesley that devilish-rogue swashbuckler vibe. I mean I really could see him sailing out across the sea to the new world and having a rousing adventure with Don Diego.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

"I know something you don't know."

"Oh. What is that?"

"I'm not left handed either!"

Love this fight!

 

[Sailor.X]

Well for my Avatar's part you have the USS Defiant with Sisko and the gang. So here is how I think it would go down.

Mission 1: Sisko would contact Caprica and the Colonial Fleet to inform them of a pending Cylon Attack. All while covertly scanning for the Skinjobs with the Defiant's sensors. Once found each and every skinjob would be beamed into some remote area on Caprica so that they can't sabotage the fleet. If the Cylons fleet shows up they will find out what Ben Sisko's Muthafucking Pimphand can do.

Mission 2: This is laughably simple for Sisko and the gang. They just beam Frodo and the Ring to Mount Doom so he can throw it in. Literally the quickest mission of all. If beaming is not an option. Frodo can be transported in a Shuttlepod of Mount Doom. Oh and Saurons Army would eat a Photon Torpedeo at some point.

Mission 3: With how persistent Skynet is. Sisko and the Gang might go with a Targeted EM Pulse of the base to snuff Skynet for Good. But as a safety measure the Defiant can beam all of the Russian and Chinese Warheads out of their ICBMs so at least no Nuclear Exchange can take place.

Mission 4: The Defiant just flies to where the Asteroid carrying the Alien Monsters is and locks a tractor beam on it. They will then tow it to a trajectory that sends it into the Sun. Problem Solved. Once they figure out where the attack came from. That Base will cease to exist via Quantum Torpedo.

Mission 5: Once Sisko and the Crew locate the Creeper on sensors. Firing a Phaser blast at it's location could be enough to completely destroy it's entire body down to literal subatomic particles.

Mission 6: The Defiant literally flies Sinbad, The Wizard and the Princess to Cyclops Island. They then beam down with the Defiant doing overwatch above them. Any Cyclops that try to attack them gets Yeeted. And after the Princess is restored the Wizard eats a Phaser Blast.

Mission 7: Just one Photon Torpedo is all it would take. But Sisko and crew might just Phaser the Kraken to death instead.

I misread that as Sisko beaming Frodo and the One Ring *into* Mount Doom! And was like-well, it's Sisko so I could see him doing it. xD
