CONTRACTS AND DEALS

SO CONTRACTS. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT.

A (big??) gimmick of Heckin game is the ability to make deals/contracts with each other using character's souls and/or free will depending on how your character interprets that shit.

Contracts have to ICLY be agreed on and sealed in some way--characters instinctively know this! 'Sealed' can be done anyway you see fit: a handshake, a written contract that floats in the air, sealed with a KISS, sealed with a PUNCH I don't care get creative.

NOW WHAT CAN YOU GET FROM CONTRACTS?
ANYTHING WITHIN REASON.....for the characters. For example, maybe Goku wants your soul!! In exchange he'll teach you the kamehameha. Great, now Jimmy can learn the Kamehaha, and Goku gets Jimmy's soul. Why did Goku want Jimmy's soul?? Idk maybe he just wanted him to be gofer. Either way Goku now has One Advantage over Jimmy and he's bound to make him food every day.

Another example: Girl Boss Makima makes a deal for a dumbass jock's soul. The jock didn't really want anything he's just a horny man. BAD DEAL, BUT VALID NONETHELESS. Makima now can make the jock turn into a dog at her command.

These are bad examples I know BUT THE POINT IS you can play around with this. You can collect as many souls as you want and get as many minions as you want and it provides a way for characters to learn cross canon stuff if that's something you're into!

BUT DEALS AND CONTRACTS SHOULD ALSO BE REASONABLE.
You can't make a deal with like, an idol character and be like I WANT MY GODZILLA SIZED MECHA SUIT. Bruh. Your soul ain't worth that much. Please be normal about this lol.

ALL DEALS MUST BE MADE IC, BUT IF IT AINT FUN, ITS OKAY TO TERMINATE OOC
Please remember to communicate with each other!! If you ain't having fun tell your cr and just break the contract. This can be done IC or OOC! Icly any broken contract will be symbolized by a golden chain snapping between characters. Original, I know.

I ONLY HAVE ONE SOUL, CAN I MAKE MULTIPLE CONTRACTS?
slaps soul you can fit so many poor decisions in here. Your soul is a timeshare. Basically do what is fun for you. Maybe everyone who owns your soul can fight over you, if that's what you want. If you rather only sell your soul Once or not at all, that's fine too.

WHAT ABOUT NPC CONTRACTS?
Npc/handwaved contracts should be A) for small, nonconsequential things, (example: you made a deal with an angel/devil to bring you a pepsi every day) or B) convenience to make things playable (example: you made an npc your chauffeur/maid or in canon you have a special thing to keep your hair blue and you don't feel like playing that so you made a contract to have blue hair always)

Keep in mind for the latter if you make an npc contract it SHOULD have some side-effect; for example you made a deal because you want INFINITE CUTE DRESSES. Great you got it, but now you're cursed to confess a truth every other day. Something like that!
