MF Voice Line Experimentation

So in light of the recent Miss Fortune VO threads, I did a bit of experimental writing so see if I could hit the right mix of flirty, dangerous, sexy, and in control. This version of Miss Fortune is a leader solidifying her grip to power, disdainful of her enemies, prone to a bit of playful mockery, yet flirtatious (sometimes even playful) and not afraid to reach out to potential allies -- even if it means playing friends against each other.

This is by no means a complete concept, but I'm curious to see if people think this direction captures both aspects of Miss Fortune well enough that it might be worth exploring further.

Illaoi (First Interaction) -- What did Gangplank do for you that I can't do better? -- You're right, Illaoi. There's a new queen in Bilgewater, and change is good. -- I hope you're over him, priestess. Bilgewater is. -- I warn you, priestess: I don't break easily.

Twisted Fate (First Interaction) -- Twisted Fate, you sly dog. How much of Gangplank’s booty did you get away with? -- You cut a dashing figure for a card shark. We should...play. -- Come on, Fate. I could use a right-hand man, and you know you can do better than Graves. -- You’ve always sought Fortune, Fate. Here I am. Feeling lucky?

Graves (First Interaction) -- Come on, Malcolm. I could use a right-hand man, and you know you can do better than Fate. -- Gangplank scorned you, but I know value when I see it. -- Cross me at your own risk, outlaw. I’m faster on the trigger than you think. -- Don’t run afoul of fortune in your quest for it, Graves.

Gangplank (First Interaction) -- Not a soul mourned you, dog. -- I hear the sharks have had a taste of your flesh, captain. Shall we give them the rest? -- An iron fist, Gangplank? How tediously cliche. You never were one for subtlety. -- Well look what the wharf rats dragged in. -- I'll put a bullet in your skull next time, Gangplank. -- Not even death wanted you, I see.

Firing Double Up -- Bang -- Catch -- *kissing noise*

Double Up Champion Bounce These lines are mostly mocking, sardonic lines. MF is playing around here.

-- Like fish in a barrel. -- Gotcha. -- Kaboom. -- Should have dodged. -- Too easy

Critical Hit with Double Up or kill with bounce These lines are much more serious, even when identical to the lines above.

-- Should have dodged. -- To easy. -- Bullseye. -- Right betwixt the eyes.

Kill -- Dead already? -- And down he/she/it goes. -- Shame. I liked you. -- Anyone else? -- Like an anchor.

Oh I know you didn't just backhandedly diss Rafen.

Screw the downvoters. I really, really like this. It's similar to GGMF, only better. And wordier, I suppose. How about some lines for activating Strut, or for using Make it Rain? Of course Bullet Time is just that iconic laugh.

How about "Stop looking at my boobs/ass and play the game you man-thot", I know that's needed for a lot of people and if I played her it would probably be needed for me too

I think you did an awesome job mixing the different aspects of her character; my only issue is that some lines seem a little formal for a Bilgewater champion. Using the word "betwixt", for example, seems like a strange choice.

The other line is for Illaoi. "I warn you" should be "I'm warning you", for example; it's very similar, but it changes the tone immensely. "I warn you" sounds much more controlled; it sounds like something Taliyah or Ashe might say, not Miss Fortune. Miss Fortune having relatively loose language suits her "casual confidence" really well; she's in control, but not even-tempered, is the gist of my point.

MissFortune Maybe give her some sexual flirty lines like Evelynn? For example, give her a few lines when she hits a new target and gets her passive on them such as; "I like beginners~" or, "You would do...for now" [sg-lux-2] Reading it again makes me wonder what I do in my free time. Then again MF is probably as sexualised as Eve excluding character lore and voice-lines.

Maybe a line to GP about revenge and her parents?

any special lines when she is Captain Fortune?

I don't care too much. Just get rid of her slutty-like quotes

I found the first interaction ones kinda "meh". I like the rest tho, actually.

This is pretty good. Some lines are a bit generic but for MF, i wouldn't expect her to be super eloquent.

Well done.

Please tell me the "Kaboom" on double up is a reference to the shooting minigame in Legend of Zelda, Windwaker.

Personally I think everything here is pretty damn good

Though I also have the opinion that removing the sluttiness isn't really necessary, its not core to her character as much as being flirty/in-control but if she finds someone hot, her being a tease isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it's very bland on Eve just because she's so generic about it, there isn't enough specific interaction. If MF expressed her own taste via champion interactions that'd be a way to have an element of that but make it feel personal to her, giving it some meaning.

It all depends on what she sounds like though. Good writing can't outplay poor voice over work or a poor choice in voice actors. While I don't mind the lines in the GGMF skin it didn't sound enough like MF to me, especially the laugh. They have got to nail that laugh.

On a side note:

If "Fortune doesn't favor fools." doesn't stay in there somewhere I'm flipping some tables.

This is really cool! I hope you write more for interactions with champs outside of Bilgewater. I think some of those could be really interesting.
