#funaday2026 Day 9: I've been making stuff behind the scenes, but got a little behind on posting about them. Should be back on a track now hopefully.
This is a kind of rare example of me coming up with an effect first, and finding an appropriate home for it after. The scene: me standing bare assed in the shower for inspiration, and, boy, did it come.
OverPower is not a game that wants you to turtle up. You have a card in hand that attack? It must attack! No saving Power Cards for a later defense. You can't even pass with one in hand, if you don't wanna attack anymore, maybe you can't win the venture anyway and it wouldn't be worth a character taking damage (or worse, getting KOd) to continue, you're conceding, bucko.
Enter: the IA. A powerful ability that allows you to pass initiative mid battle (shout out Altered's "After You" mechanic) and keep attacking.
I didn't know where it would land, but after the aforementioned nudy meditation, Aki Hayakawa, what with his Future Devil contract, seemed an appropriate candidate. You may think seeing a mere 2 seconds into the future wouldn't be much help, but Aki didn't become one of the most lethal weapons in Tokyo Special Division 4's Public Safety Devil Hunter aresenal without it.
