quinten814 yapping shit about notebook’s formchanges
in general
- There’s two types of Formchanges: Drive Forms and Weapon Enhancers. Both change Notebook’s appearance in some way.
- Formchanges are obtained by forming connections with various objects - specifically, Drive Forms are created by connections with OC’s and Weapon Enhancers are created from connections with characters from well-known object shows (such as BFDI, II, TNM, PPT2, …).
- Weapon Enhancers, just like their name, enhances weapons into stronger ones that also have major changes in appearances. These are weaker than Drive Forms, but cost way less energy for Kingdom Key to change into. All of them have special attacks exclusive to each form.
- Drive Forms change Notebook’s skillset completely but are more powerful and better than Weapon Enhancers. These forms change Notebook’s properties (such as Radiant Form being able to turn Notebook into light energy and Converge Form turning him into moving streams). Changes in appearance are focused onto Notebook himself instead of his outfits and accessories. Notebook also has changes in personality during Drive Forms. Drive Forms all have their own Finish Attack with different effects on enemies.
- The only Formchange to not fall into any of these categories is Rage Form.
- Kingdom Key’s the one controlling all of Notebook’s Formchanges.
- While a Formchange is active, Kingdom Key temporarily “loses its sentience” (they “regain it” after the Formchange is over).
- There’s no time limit for Formchanges, however Kingdom Key does tend to get bored (when it has to stay in a “non-sentient state”) and intentionally cancles the Formchange.
- Formchanges don’t have any cooldown either, but because activating takes a lot of energy, Kingdom Key usually only activates them when they need to.
- While in this form, Notebook’s left-side-thingy becomes very, very bright, and he gets a crown that is placed on his head (like the KH2 Crown).
- Notebook attacks with slashes powered by well- light. Duh.
- Missed attacks become projectiles that home onto enemies.
- Missed CHARGED attacks become beams that lock onto any fire at enemies TWICE.
- It’s possible for Notebook to avoid physical attacks by turning into light energy and then back into a physical form.
- Radiant Form is somewhat like KH3 Light Form, but modified in a way that makes it almost ridiculously overpowered.
- In this Formchange, Notebook’s personality turns into a “heroic and brave one, somewhat like Sora(from Kingdom Hearts) when actually serious”.
- While in this form, Notebook’s cover and limbs are covered with arrow patterns facing opposite directions from each other.
- Notebook can control objects like if they were on conveyor belts next to each other and moving in opposite directions (max 2 streams).
- Using the above, Notebook can move projectiles heading towards him out of his way, even if they are homing at him. However, sending them back has proven to be challenging.
- Successful slashes create considerably weaker streams with shorter lifespans.
- Kills with this Formchange’s finisher creates an explosive effect exclusive to this Formchange.
- In this Formchange, Notebook’s personality turns into one that is “relaxed and chill, somewhat of Diamond/Sticky(from Double Down)’s personality”.
- While in this form, traffic signs are displayed on Notebook’s cover and his left eye is replaced with a small “no parking” traffic sign.
- Notebook can force objects to move in specific directions using traffic signs, and can combine these signs to form specific movement rulesets, applied to all objects except Notebook and his allies in a wide, circular area around Notebook.
- Forcing objects to violate rulesets deal massive explosive damage at the cost of removing that rule.
- This Formchange’s finisher has a damage multiplier based on the amount of damage dealt during the Formchange, indicated through the “speed limit” sign on Notebook’s cover.
- In this Formchange, Notebook’s personality turns into one “full of joy and whimsy”.
- The Formchange name was not spelt wrong, instead it is a reference to “$trange Attraktor” by schwarzkugel.
