#either the master sword itself or its base goddess sword form. either way the idea is like. fi has done her job so she can rest

[waywardsalt]

i love having post ph ideas and no idea where on the timeline they go

#like. i know exactly how long it lasts like i set aside two calendars and picked starting and ending dates so i hope to use them #to plan what happens and when and to force myself to limit things #like. i dont actually have a ton of ideas yet #i know damien gets a cool story arc and bellum learns some art stuff and link learns blacksmithing #they have brief visits back to oshus’ world for periodic checkups on bellum’s uh. parole #ciela is scandalized to find out that linebeck not only has a boyfriend but that hes also somewhat involved with bellum too #theres a bit where they find and check out this… ruin? where it is capable of summoning the ghosts of people close to those who entered #so damien gets to come out to his (dead) parents and it goes well :) and linebeck curses out one or both of his parents #he probably curses out and threatens to attack his father and has a mixed thing with his mother #link briefly gets to see the korl. bellum either sees no one or wades through dead armies #theres some asshole pirate captain who declares himself linebecks nemesis but linebeck just wants to kill him and be done with it #things escalate from there he and his crew are reoccurring antagonists causing typical pirate issues #i think things between link and tetra get worse and then they get kinda better. they meet with her crew periodically #theres an overarching plot but thats still being hammered out #i think theyll get the master sword. they somehow revisit ganondorf’s… corpse? and likely get the sword #either the master sword itself or its base goddess sword form. either way the idea is like. fi has done her job so she can rest #like demise’s curse has ended he has given up so her job is finally complete yknow? she can rest once and for all #rn its a handful of big stuff tied together by vague overarching plot plus just slice of life adventure stuff with exploring different #islands and meeting people and seeing different civilizations and helping em out and stuff #less looking for a new hyrule and more exploring what settlements already exist if that makes sense #post ph #salty talks

BF Gungeon Starting Items Because Why Not

Karl

Starting Gun: Frozen Firearm - Ice to see you

A poleaxe turned into a rifle upon entering the Gungeon. Like its wielder, the firearm has an affinity with ice and shoots out a high speed icicle with each shot. While most Gungeoneers come knowing how to fire a gun, Karl didn’t so the accuracy of his new rifle suffers.

Passive: Antidote - A beneficial addiction

Provides immunity to poison.

Karl has almost always been seen drinking an antidote whenever he’s in the Breech. Such over-consumption has left him immune to the various poisons of the Gungeon but unluckily, not bullets.

Seria 

Starting Gun: Bloody Spliter - Get them deep

A sword turned into a revolver upon entering the Gungeon. It shines with the power of its wielder and inflicts a terrible bleed upon those it hits. However while its causes these wounds, the pure damage of the bullet is lacking.

Passive: Champion’s Dominion - Reign supreme 

Boosts damage while at max HP

Seria was famous for her reign at the arena. The same is true for her journey into the Gungeon. However, such pride is easily shattered upon the unforgiving gundead.

Lugina

Starting Gun: Sky Gunbringer - Off the walls

A sword turned into a pistol upon entering the Gungeon. While the gun itself is unremarkable, Lugina has mastered its use to the point where he can ricochet shots off walls. Lugina was the first of a new wave of Gungeoneers to enter the Breech and luckily his blasphemous blade turned into a gun.

Active: Rocks - Looking Rocky

Calls forth three rocks to act as temporary guon stones for the current room.

These new Gungeoneers hail from a land where most beings are in touch with one aspect of the natural world around them, and Lugina has a special connection with rocks. However while the Gungeon’s stones are resilient, they are not for defense and crumble soon after use. 

Passive: Tailwind - As Swift as the wind

Higher movement speed.

Lugina’s Earth magic not only includes rocks, but also the manipulation of plant-life and the wind.

Paris

Starting Gun: Van de Gunff - Close Enough

A rapier that has been turned into a lighting rod upon entering the Gungeon. Lets loose lightning on enemies in a wide arc in front of the rod when fired.

While not far off from its original form, the jammed consider it solely a projectile weapon now as any part capable of melee damage has been rendered useless

Passive: Honor Armor - Health Begets Protection

Armor worn by Paris. Grants an armor upon entering the next floor if you left the previous floor at full health. Grants immunity to electricity.

This armor has been passed down Paris’ family for generations and in her world, activates its defensive properties at low health. Perhaps in Paris’ journey to escape the Gungeon, the power of the armor has been changed like it did for one of her ancestors.

Tilith (Co-op)

Starting Gun: Gate - A World Of Pain

Opens a tiny gate to another world a magical projectile comes out of.

As Goddess of the Gate, Tilith can create openings to other worlds. Unfortunately, the Gungeon's presence prevents her from creating a gate large enough to escape from.

Active: Pretty Battle Kiss - Need a Heal

Use to heal yourself and your ally by half a heart.

It is unknown how a kiss was given an area of effect, even less known how it can heal someone. When asked, Tilith responded that physical kisses were reserved for a certain champion.

Passive: Immortality - Well Kinda

Start with an extra heart container

The immortality of a goddess doesn’t really mean much in the Gungeon.

Lin

Starting Gun: Prototype Blaster - Pew Pew

A prototype laser blaster not designed for direct conflict. 

Lin was not much for frontline combat and avoided it until being forced to enter the Gungeon, armed with a prototype Noel managed to cobble together from spare parts from his own gun.

Secondary Gun: Laser Cannon - The Big Gun

Shoots out a large laser. After being given the cobbled together laser, Lin contacted the requisition department and ordered a gun to deal more damage when she needs it. Unfortunately, she forgot she could’ve ordered a new blaster.

Passive: Communicator - Requisition Delivery

Increased chance of ammo drops. While the Acquisition Department doesn’t do deliveries to people in the Gungeon, the Summoner’s Hall Requisition Department can do such a thing. Though the teleporter that delivers takes time to charge. 

Noel

Starting Gun: Advanced Gun - Ambitious

A simple gun with a large amount of attachments and firing mechanisms. 

Noel designed this gun to obliterate anything that stands in his way. However, all the various attachments and energy sources canceled each other out and left only the base pistol functional. When asked about its state, Noel said it was working as intended.

Active: Mock Bullet - A facsimile of the original

Creates a weaker copy of all enemies in the room. Does not work on bosses.

Noel is famed for continuing his late uncle’s work of psudo-cloning people and beings of all types. The copies he creates are weaker than the base being which makes them not long for the world, especially when they are placed near the aggressive gundead who see such a thing as an affront to the bullet and attack these clones immediately.

Passive: Blank Holster - More Blanks

Start the floor with an extra blank. Unused blanks under the limit are retained and added on.

Blanks are an important tool to any gungeoneer, so Noel had the bright idea of carrying more and not dropping off blanks and only regaining the amount he started with.

Caleb

Starting Gun: Makeshift Gun - Everyone Starts Somewhere

A pistol created by someone who has never created a gun before. After Caleb found his father’s ammonomicon, he made it his goal to continue his father’s work. When a gate opened in time and space to a universe where the Gungeon still existed, Caleb quickly created this gun and ventured through the gate with no care to the faulty firearm.

Active: Failed Gunpowder - Blows up in your Face

A faulty batch of gunpowder sensitive to impact. When thrown, it explodes in a random effect.

While trying to create functioning gunpowder in his own world, Caleb has failed more than his share of times. Ever the pragmatist, Caleb found use in the failures as a last ditch weapon.

Passive: Summoning - Gacha Failed

Grants companions all their synergies, but lowers their possibility of being found and reduces starting HP to one heart.

As a summoner, Caleb has learned how to effectively work in teams and boost their strength. However, the power of summoning is weak in the Gungeon and takes a lot of vitality of a summoner to use their power. Other summoner had chosen to hold of the use of summoning, but Caleb persists anyways.

Renza

Starting Gun: Ranged Punch - Come Get Some

A magical spell that sends out a fist as powerful as the caster’s. 

Physical combat has no place in the Gungeon and engaging in it will bring the wrath of the jammed. Eventually both Renza and the jammed came to an agreement on her ranged punch spell.

Passive: Fist Bullets - You’re already Gundead

Bullets that travel with the power and fury of a healer turned warrior. Killed enemies will launch backwards and deal any overkill damage to whatever enemy they hit. Does not chain enemies.

After the Blacksmith met Renza, she began a regular correspondence with the warrior about her travels and the world outside the Gungeon and how her sister, Cadence, was doing in the Breech. Eventually, the Blacksmith forged these bullets as a gift for her new friend. 

Attached to the gift was a note

“Call me. <3″ 

Hearth

Starting Gun: Prisoner’s Pistol - Desperation or Death

A shabby pistol given to Hearth before he was sent to the Gungeon.

When Hearth was captured for speaking out against the Hegemony of Man, they gave him the option of being extra-judicially killed or sent to the Gungeon. Either way, he wouldn’t be their concern anymore.

Secondary Weapon: Piecework Rifle - Ingenuity in the face of death

A rifle separated into pieces and reassembled upon entry into the Gungeon. While the Hegemony of Man stripped Hearth of almost all possession when they sent him into the Gungeon, Hearth managed to smuggle enough rifle pieces to build an entire rifle. Some pieces had to be sacrificed to be able to maintain cover so the rifle’s power suffers.

Passive: Ammonomicon Pocket Edition - More stats

A tiny Ammonomicon that displays a Gungeoneer’s stats and gives a small increase to magazine size and max ammo

When Hearth was sent to the Gungeon, the pocket edition Ammonomicon just entered production and he managed to get a copy for free. Nowadays you can only find secondhand copies sold for exorbitant prices.
