The worst idea in the whole gorram world: Let's Play Princess Maker 2!

Arhra · 06-30-2011, 08:36 AM

Hello people, it is time for me to do a Let's Play again.

For this occaison, I have chosen...

which is

Studio Gainax is better known for producing animes featuring well adjusted people such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL and Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Unlike all of the above, there are no giant robots in Princess Maker 2. I'm... I'm sorry.

Instead we'll be raising a little girl to the cruel and capricious whims of a forum in a game designed by Japan. Hooray!

SAMPLE ONLY

Sending her to school, sending her to work, sending her off to fight monsters, sending her off to get married, possibly marrying her, that's what this game is all about.

Now let us find out about the story of this intrepid father and his daughter!

There once was a city in the world of mortals.

Its king was proud of his position, and its people were arrogant about their wealth.

Its rulers made light of the gods and ceased to worship them.

Its people sank into debauchery and sloth.

The Lord became angry at this and commanded the Prince of Darkness, ruler of the Underworld, to attack the world of mortals.

The soldiers of the capital, accustomed to peace (and debauchery and sloth I would assume), fell helplessly before the powerful Demon Army. The ramparts were destroyed and the castle was engulfed in flames.

It was clear to all that the fall of the kingdom was at hand.

But then, seeing the plight of the capital, a wandering swordsman threw himself into the battle against the Prince of Darkness.

Creeping into the demons' encampment on that dark night, the swordsman confronted the Prince of Darkness in single combat.

How did this epic battle end?

: "But why are you fighting for these people? It was divinely ordained that I attack this decadent capital. It is no concern of yours. I've killed only fools."

The swordsman didn't know how to respond.

The Prince of Darkness disappeared into the West along with his army, returning to the Underworld to recover from his defeat.

The king and the queen thanked the brave warrior and resolved to make a new beginning. They asked the swordsman to stay in the capital while he recovered from his wounds and help them rebuild.

And so the swordsman came to live in the capital, and to be granted a salary by the king.

One night, when the stars were shining brightly in the heavens, the swordsman felt an eerie compulsion to go outside.

A voice called out to him from the heavens...

As he lifted his head, he spotted a shooting star. Before his eyes, it slowly descended to the top of a nearby hill.

He ran to the hill and there he found a floating sphere which was shining brightly.

Inside the light there was a little girl...

A voice said to him:

"This darling child has lived in the sacred light since the time she was born.

she has an innocent soul and knows nothing of the impure world of mortals.

Now I entrust you with this child.

Your actions alone will determine whether she will live or die, and what kind of life she will lead.

It is all up to you.

That is all I have to ask. I will be watching from the heavens..."

Ah, storytelling at its very finest.

So let us make a kid!

First of all we need a family name!

In the absence of any better suggestions, we will default to FOROMSCHALD.

We also need a name for the PRECIOUS CHILD. Default name will be NUKLEAH if there's nothing better proposed.

Did you know: the real default name is Olive Oyl?

Finally we need to pick out a blood type.

As we all know, your blood type completely controls your personality.

Pick a blood type and one positive trait and one negative trait from that blood-type to emphasise.

Type A
Best Traits: Earnest, sensible, calm.
Worst Traits: Fastidious, overearnest, tense.

Type B
Best Traits: Wild, active, passionate.
Worst Traits: Selfish, irresponsible, arrogant.

Type AB
Best Traits: Cool, controlled, rational.
Worst Traits: Critical, indecisive, forgetful.

Type O
Best Traits: Agreeable, sociable, optimistic.
Worst Traits: Vain, ruthless, cruel.

Then pick a wildcard trait. It can be anything. Annnnything. If our blood wants to control us, we'll fight it to the end! That's the NPF way!

Row row fight the power or whatever.

Then do the blood thing again for the father and pick a first name for him. Then, summarise your mental image of him and his parenting style in one paragraph or less.

So in summary we need:

Family name:
Daughter first name:
Daughter blood type:
Daughter reinforced traits:
Daughter wildcard trait:

Father first name:
Father blood type:
Father reinforced traits:
Father wildcard trait:
Father concept:

For bonus points, submit a father portrait as well.

Next time, we map out the path of our daughter's future!

Oh I just wanted a good, simple way to influence the personality of the daughter and the father.

The game already uses blood types, so I decided to put out a list of the traits associated with that blood type.

Pick a blood type with personality elements you like. Then pick one positive trait and one negative trait from that blood type. These traits will be reinforced, making them dominate their personality.

I am seeing very little about childrearing approach in that father description! Unless by 'battle' you mean 'parent-teacher nights'.

Daughter first name: Meteor
Daughter blood type: O
Daughter reinforced traits: Sociable, ruthless
Daughter wildcard trait: rational

Father first name: Henry
Father blood type: A
Father reinforced traits: Sensible, fastidious,
Father wildcard trait: Cool
Father concept: Ever watch the Venture Bros? If not then just a really good guy..... who wants to make people as evil and dangerous as possible for reasons unknown and unknowable.

Nikose Tyris · 06-30-2011, 10:23 AM

Family name: Szermierz

Any kind of backtalk will be met with a verbal beatdown, as he'll be damned if she becomes anything other than a _________ (Same as above, still want professional wrestler)

EDIT: Whoops. Fixing now
