Juri Como's Hero Career

 Okay, time to figure out what sort deeds Juri achieved during her period as a hero. Hero is as far as we're going here because I want to put my thoughts on demigod elsewhere. For one thing, demigod isn't complete yet, though we are getting to see bits and pieces of it now that the kickstarter is going on. It's enough to do some planning with but has the caveat that mechanics may change when the actual games come out. So, anyway, let's move on to figuring out the deeds.

Looking at my GM's summary list of stuff we did we have the following (in her words).

• Utgaard-Loki sets you moving on finding Kaguya under threat of being tougher than you.
• First meeting with the Sumiyoshi of setting out.
• Kaguyahime's requests are impossible.
• Austria, healing the toxic cave.
• Red Stone of Aja = get, Kaguya = Marry, Life = Awesome, Kaguya's immortality = stolen by Utgaard-Loki...oh no.
• The marry here relates to one of the other band-mates, a Chosen of Artemis.
  
• Amaterasu hates you now for letting some 'more immortal than even other gods' immortality fall into titan hands.
• Second meeting with the Sumiyoshi of travelling.
• Island of anonymity, hiding from everyone, getting in a fight with a scion of Odin in front of all those camera phones is not hiding you trashpandas.
• Ruya joins the party. Ruya melts the forest. Ruya wrecks the anonymity on the island even worse than you guys already did. Nice Job Breaking It Hero. The Teotl also hate you for this now.
• Third meeting with the Sumiyoshi of arrivals.
• We like Laura, we should recruit her. Oh shit, how do I break her being a corpse puppet to this group?

The next item on the list is "Welcome to Demigod, enjoy the buffet." And while that would indicate that the adventure with the cannibal spider adventure is the point at which the players entered Demigod, and in 1e that was correct, but there you started at Legend 2 and 3 moves of Legend put you to 5. And given my ideas for Juri's Theophany, it presents a good bookend for an adventure involving a spider Juri had to fight being the story putting her into the last rung of the Hero tier.

Combat Hurricane

So, before moving on to converting Juri's 1e adventuring career into 2e deeds and such, I think I'm actually going pull out a series of charts I put together once upon a time to figure out a little bit about Juri's webcomic and the anime that was eventually based on it. So, I didn't know too much about save a couple of things: she borrowed from the adventures of herself and other Legendary types for her story arcs, it was an interdimensional shounen action extravaganza, and people meeting her kawaiiko self might have trouble believing that it is something she wrote and drew.

However,  while her art was a constant thing she used, her webcomic was only mentioned now and again as a background thing. Like she used her fans to get things done and some of her fans actually became her yokai followers later. But there was little discussion of what her webcomic was actually like.

So, here we go.

Scion Conversion Juri Como

Juri Como is a character I played in a first edition Scion campaign. She is a daughter of Bentaizen and an Australian man....whose name I sadly can't remember because he never actually showed up in game or became relevant. Her early childhood was spent sheltered from enemies by a clan of jurougumo before being delivered to her mortal father in Sydney. So, she has a bit of a friendly attitude toward spiders in general. Juri grew up to be a webcomic mangaka who became a popular success but she was always aware that she was special.

As an archetype, Juri was about a couple of things: being unbelievably cute and adorable; spiders; pretending to be an complete airhead to screw with people, and turning her manga into literal magic.

During her time as a hero, Juri was gifted with her "Fire Rat Kimono" and that caused fire to become a part of her nature. She gained the service of a number of spider-yokai that were fire-spiders rather than the typical watery jurougumo or earth-dwelling tsuchigumo. Said yokai were the spirits of fans of hers that had died and been resurrected as yokai in her service.

I don't have a real inkling of her Origin adventures since we jumped right into Hero, because that's what you had in 1e.

 

As a note, her webcomic, which was getting an anime, was titled "Combat Hurricane" and I never really designed it much, dealt more with the fans and such than anything.

So, now it's time to build her directly as a 2e Scion.
