RP Preview: Augment [Discussion]

Actually, it's not that surprising. The Fae play dirtiest of them all. While still fulfilling their bargains. Basically, Dark Types ignore the rules, but the Fae make them work for them.

The alternative: How are you going to con a Fae? If the Dark-Type is a conman who heeds no rules, the Fae is the devil (only not inherently evil in this case). They're going to con the c**p out of you and get way more out of it. There aren't any rules to break-there's no way to subvert the contract you've just made, no Kill-Devil-Hill shenanigans going on or anything. Nothing ANYONE'S got will save your sorry rear from the tail end. Fairy-Type wins.

Or, a third, much less grim alternative: Evil baddie V. Magical Girl. Who wins? Magical Girl. Duh. :P The genre conventions of anime dictate it.

Also, now I'm more intrigued in this RP. Those tiny snippets of detail tell me SOOOO much.

Actually, there's also the pragmatism aspect of Dark Types and their tendency to use their resources. You know, resources a Fae could provide. For a small price of course. And if the Dark Types want more resources, well, who's the Fae to deny them? For a moderate price of course. Oh, and they need more? Well the Fae are always agreeable, as long as you do them more favors.

Before they know it, the Dark Types have found that they've long since imbibed the Kool-Aid, completely unwittingly, and the Fae basically owns them. :)

This is even more hilarious in the context of the most recent Dresden Files book, where the absolutely Dark Typiest person there found out that the Fae Queen's vengeance is very very broad and very very deep. While she was technically fulfilling a debt for /him/.

As this is a straight-up fight in which they have an edge, I prefer the Magical Girl V. Badguy comparison a bit more...
