Does a waifu count as a person or as an ideal?

You didn't need to post this 3 times

>superhero

It's saikyō hero you uncultured swine.

Obsession:

>Idea - Truth

Trials:

>Heart

Once I was a relatively normal person with relatively normal desires. Now, I am disgusted by corruption and deception, and uplifted by truth and justice. Anything else is meaningless.

>Body

A perfectly symmetrical human form of average build, white as fresh-fallen snow, with no hair and clothed in white robes. Body covered in glowing geometric tattoos that constantly change form and emit painfully bright white light.

>Name

Who was I before my transformation? It no longer matters. He is dead and I am something else.

>Shame

My purpose is unmistakably clear, both to myself and others. To hide it would be to discard the very thing for which I stand.

>Appeal

The truth is a beautiful but terrible thing to see. The light I emit is painful to look at directly, and can permanently damage the vision of those who gaze for too long.

>Sex

I have lost interest in animal pleasures. Why have intercourse when you can have discourse?

>Self

Before, I was a man. Now I am something less, yet something more. No longer a person, but the avatar of an idea.

>Wealth

Luxuries are a distraction from the harsh realities around us. I desire little, and so I have all I desire.

>Friends

I do not shun others, but my lack of friends does not surprise me. Few people would want a friend who is brutally honest about everything.

Powers

>Durability 1

>Endurance 1

>Awareness 1

>Intelligence 3

>Luck 3

>Special - Lie Detector: I am unnaturally skilled at sensing deception, whether it be an outright false statement, an ommission, or a nonverbal deception such as a feint attack. Don't expect to get away with samefagging when I'm in your thread.

They would be obsessed with themselves.

Sorry m8, you need to unlock the previous tiers of a power to unlock the higher ones. So Strength 3 would cost 6 points, and your full list of powers would cost 25 points.

A person, unless your obsession is the idea of waifus rather than a specific one. If your waifu is the literal personification of a concept then I could see an argument for either.

>>15673

But then they wouldn't be obsessed with the same person.

>>15675

Wrong. Each power costs one Power Point. It explicitly says so in the paragraph you skimmed over. Strength III would cost 3 points, one for each tier.

> Obsession: An Idea

Total equality, existence without hierarchy or the need for anyone to subjugate anyone else. Liberation from identity to live for the relationship.

> Trials

< The Heart

Freedom from hierarchy and identity means giving up the need to see it from my own point of view. That means letting passion go, as anything I want will be opposed by someone else.

< The Body

A real understanding of the plurality of experience is marred by the fact that I only have one body. Giving that up means that every now and again I'll wake up in a new one, often varying widely in appearance, ability, etc. Preferences can influence it, so I can stay longer in bodies I like and shorter in those I don't, but even these preferences will dissolve with time and experience. Dying in one of them means dying for real, although I'm guaranteed to not die of some random disease the body I end up in has (I am not guaranteed to not feel pretty extreme discomfort from one however). I can choose where I'll wake up like this.

< Sex

Required by the previous, considering I can't choose the sex of the body I'll wake up in.

< The Mind

Waking up in different bodies and moving towards dissolving the ego boundary is good for the mind, but probably not in a way that's immediately obvious. Confusion is natural but possibly manageable. Similarly, my need to truly know the perspective of everyone is changed by only knowing one mind. My personality will be plastic.

< The Fame

Someone who has no set identity, no set body, no set personality is hard to pin down.

> Powers

< Intelligence 3

Without this I'm pretty much fucked. Charisma is probably better but no one will remember me anyway. With this I might be able to implement something useful. Since my mind changes often, the form of intelligence might change, but the intensity of it won't.

< Skill 3

The internet feels like a form of immanent, anonymous anarchism. Being the best programmer around gives me not only a solution to the fact that I may wind up in a body without much physical prowess, but also a way to more directly influence governments and companies than just messing with their employees.

< Special

I'm the spirit of crowds. If I can get myself in a group, I can dissolve my consciousness to become that of the group, losing total control over everyone in it (including me) but gaining partial control of them. The size this works on is indeterminate, but likely related to experience, starting at 5-10 people and a reasonable goal being significant portions of mid-sized cities. After all, true harmony might not require leadership, but it requires organization. I am organization.
