Just a thought experiment on how certain types can be changed to be in universe, especially since some fill the same niches.

Cybermen, Borg, Synths, Necron -> Synths.

A robotic species without using Robot.

Pros: Synth is a good word for a species of robotic creature, especially one that converts people.

Cons: Nick Valentine is now a part of the bad guy species.

Tyranids, Symbiotes -> Symbiote.

Natural parasites

Pros: Combined merging space races together to mean the same things; We also have Symbiotes thanks to Omen Paths.

Cons: Symbiotes and Tyranids kind of have the exact opposite goal. Symbiotes share control with people while Tyranids take total control, basically.

Tyranids -> Phyrexians

All will be bug.

Pros: Parasitic conversion races becomes the mechanical conversion race.

Cons: Do you really want to give the Atraxa players Clamavus?

Tyranids -> Slivers

Pros: Add more lore building to Slivers, maybe even the human ones on Shandalar.

Cons: Do you REALLY want to give the Sliver players Biophagus?

Time Lord -> Avatar? Incarnation?

Oldest beings in the world?

Pros: Finally get reprints for these things.

Cons: Doctor's also a recognized card type, so we have to give out 16 PHDs to our future Avatar-nations.

Any other ideas?

As someone who plays Overwatch, I was curious about how other games monetize their content. From my studies, they changed from Riot Points/RP to Orange Essence, and Influence Points to Blue Essence(I watched TotalBiscuit's video on League plus skimmed the wiki a bit), plus there's Hextech which looks like lootboxes. I'm mainly curious about what cosmetics there are, how you usually get them, the prices of them (preferably in USD) and how content gets "vaulted" or otherwise locked away from players.

They changed how the /give command works on Java, and I don't know if this is something that can even be done on BE.

#MAIN WEAPONS:

Biggest Iron, The: A massive revolver. The bullets are about 6 inches wide. They're so big, they ricochet when they hit a wall.

P.E.Z. Espada: A mechanical Swordfish. You swipe twice and charge forth on the third hit. Crits on any enemies caught by just the tip of the weapon. (AKA Smash sweet spots)

Reaping Scythe: An energy-bladed scythe. You fire off piercing blades that slice through walls and enemies at the cost of losing some damage per pierce.

Root Beer Launcher: Launches out rocket bottles of soda that burst on impact. Also knocks you back if you're close.

#SECONDARY:

Cactus Sling: Fires off Cacti that stick onto whatever it lands on, and explodes into spiky bursts. If an enemy steps on a cacti, it deals damage to them and sticks onto them.

Homing Cards: Fires off explosive cards that you can control by aiming (ala Wuyang Overwatch), even if you're holding out your primary. They burst on impact.

#UTILITIES:

Fool's Gold: Creates a few random rare jokers that you can use temporarily. When they expire, they explode and deal minor damage to nearby enemies.

Spicy Sarsaparilla: Molotov Cocktails. Breaks on impact and leaves a spicy, bitter puddle of damage.

#SPELLS:

Fire - Volcanic Rage: Buffs your damage as well as nearby allies' damage temporarily. Causes your guns and utility to do fire damage

Fire - Magma Dash: Runs constantly, leaving a trail of magma. Also increases your jump height.

Fire - Ring of Fire: Creates a bunch of fireballs that circle you. You can fire off them early by spamming your spell button.

Elec - Cattle Prod: Zaps and stuns enemies directly in front of you.

Elec - Tesla Fence: Fires off a few metal spiked that connect to make an electric fence.

Elec - Summon Stormy: Creates a cloud you can ride like a mount. Constantly zaps enemies under it.

Acid - Spreading Blight: Fires off a pustule that damages an enemy over time. Each tick of damage duplicates that instance of DoT (they keep the remaining duration, so it doesn't last forever) to nearby uninfected enemies.

Acid - Exorcise Bile: Constantly spews acids in a stream. As the spell duration fades, the pressure behind the stream weakens and falters.

Acid - Hazardous Barrel: Throws a barrel forth you can shoot to cause it to burst early.

#NEW SPELL SCHOOL: Holey

Use your holey might to aid allies in dairy need and hinder enemies. Enemies damaged by holey magic become cheesy and grants lifesteal when hit.

Bleu Away: Creates a dust devil of cheese that goes forth, healing allies and knocking enemies away.

Bovine Intervention: Creates a beam of light. After a few seconds, a cow craters and causes major damage and healing.

Cheddar Twist: Like a sprinkler, two streams of cheese rotate around you, healing allies and cheesing up enemies.

Creamer Speeder: Amps up your fire rate and speed greatly. After a while, you crash and have lower fire rate and speed harshly for a duration

Not Your Cheese: Creates a sticky hand that sticks onto walls and lets you grapple to them, or grab an enemy and lets you hook them towards you while stealing their money, or grabs multiple items from afar, or slaps an ally to revive them.

Puff Up: Grants temporary health to all allies that rapidly decays. Damage causes that player to spit a cheese blast.

Queso Bubble: Protects an ally (or yourself) in a protective bubble that heals them so long as it lasts. When it bursts, all nearby enemies become cheesy.

Swiss Shooter: Replaces your gun with a Kraft single. You can fire off six circles of cheese to heal allies hit, or damage and slow enemies.
