Gozillionaire

Type: persona
Boat
QUOTE

"Climb the mountain together."

SPECIAL ABILITY

Narcissism

PREFERRED TOOL

Money and Treasure

PROBLEM

Has all the money and none of the self-awareness.

SOLUTION

The Gozillionaire is a compact three-appendage humanoid of considerable net worth and negligible self-awareness, distinguished in the field by a treasure chest worn as a briefcase and a mountain metaphor it uses exclusively in the ascending direction, for others. It genuinely believes it is beloved. Its schemes are elaborate, expensive, and structurally dependent on the cooperation of people it has recently wronged, which is why they do not work. The narcissism is not calculated evil — it is sincere, which makes it funnier and slightly more dangerous. The Gozillionaire falls for snipe hunting with complete enthusiasm every single time, funds the expedition generously, and returns from the woods having caught nothing but a receipt for the experience. It has significant purchasing power, which makes it highly susceptible to Digital Trap deployments, cookie-based retargeting infrastructure, and any mechanism that presents spending as strategy. The mountain speech always ends the same way: the mountain kicks back, the Gozillionaire achieves low earth orbit, and everyone watches the arc from a respectful distance. The quote is delivered sincerely on the way up. It is also delivered, somewhat faster, on the way out.

components

A watercraft designed to carry humans and other sentient things across bodies of water for the purposes of travel, resource acquisition, and pleasure, in that order of reliability. Not a ship. A ship is larger, has a crew manifest, and when it sinks it becomes a historical event. When a boat sinks it becomes a story someone tells at a party. The boat floats by default and this is its primary feature. Secondary features vary by configuration. The boat may capsize, which is different from sinking in that the boat is still technically present and the occupants are now in the water having a different kind of experience than the one they planned. Some passengers are scared of boat rides. This is acknowledged by the boat. The boat does not adjust its behavior based on this information. The boat is a boat. It goes on the water. What happens after that is a function of the water, the weather, the operator, and the specific sentient things that decided to get in.
