Does your MC have a backup plan in case they lose their power?

If I made a reality warping MC, their back up is the Green Lantern battery until they recover.

My other mc would try magi tech if I want to include it. Not in the books. That's an if.

honestly if I took away Sybil's "powers " she'd probably have an easier time getting along with others, though she would have to ask for help carrying something every now and again.
She doesn't have some major plan, she just wants to live a peaceful life

They actively hate their power but keep it because losing their power would mean losing his friends and returning back to his timeline. Of he did do that then he would be depressed and desperately trying to find a way back.

My character is insanely manipulative and charismatic. Not to mention hyper intelligent. If you somehow remove their power and they don’t get given it right back by the various powers with far better reality warping than whatever was used to remove their power then…
If they lose their Miasmic powers, then they will fall back on what they used to survive their terrible life for the past 17 years.

My MC hasn’t figured out how to safely use their power yet. BUT if you took away even what they’d do now, a series of events would occur

1. they would be depressed and feel useless as they could no longer offer their power to their Deity
2. Their Deity would love them regardless
3. They would heal and ultimately be happier as they would no longer be so insecure all the time

The world would also burn. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t care about that.

Oalur doesn't have a backup because even if he turns into a crippled mortal he will have zero doubts he'll be able to achieve whatever he needs.

Jennifer doesn't have a backup because she doesn't have any power to speak of.

Victor's power is tightly related to his raison d'etre and if he ever lost it the world would end up in a much worse state than it'd been before because he would get it without a doubt

So better for the MC, but to the detriment of the world. Interesting!

My MC fight dragons whiteout even weapons before have any powers, and even after then he once was robbed from them and he chase the enemy and kill him on a 1 on 1.

The truth is that he even see his powers as a thing that gets in the way, because he is so battle maniac ( survivor guilty) that what he wants first is a good battle where he can loose easy for a wrong move against something a lot powerful than him.

Without magic he'd just be a regular swordsman. His sword skills are above average so he'd be fine to continue his life. He'd have to adapt, though. Probably become like Goblin Slayer.

I gave them a dozen bags of plot armor and angst powerups to make use of for the duration.

They're gonna be juuuust fine.

In the event the MC loses everything then they'll at the very least still have the position of the Head + relations that can alleviate it.

My MC won't be able to automatically dodge attacks anymore, but she still have... let's see, a giant ass mecha, sniper rifle powered by xenophobia and angst, a lance capable of controlling storms and its aspects, a jacket that can turn a random stick into a god slaying weapon.

Charlotte will do just fine~

Ichiro would probably have not noticed it, as he's ordinary human just like you and me, probably having better time because those bizarre nightmares had ended and he's still driving a truck, so no

She doesn't need her power to be able to achieve her goal. She is enough in her own to force the other characters to do what she wants.

But she also has a backup plan.

All of her weird abilities are due to her being an elder god so if somehow they got taken away she'd just disappear I suppose.

LOL! That’s be terrifying if the MC did do that!!! :sweating_profusely: The amount of success they’d have in convincing everyone from teens to old people is…thankfully that is not the case!:sweating_profusely::sweating_profusely::sweating_profusely:
He is a mafia doctor/always able to weasel his way into the top layers of mafia authority, influencer, a cultist of the Stars/genius at eldritch rituals, a master actor and musician whose career has not taken off (because she is more than a little busy with this next thing), and a part-time dealer in Demonic goods.
