Too little/vague for me to comment on.Now that that's done, can I get some feedback on the idea itself?

I think the idea has merit if he/she is leaving clues that frame Tattletale or make her look like she is losing her mind and doing these murders.after all a nemesis in fiction always stay true to one rule,to make their opposition be a afraid.fear to make them doubt themselves or their allies,to be afraid of the dark and being out in broad daylight alone.Had a thought on a possible arch-nemesis for Tattletale: A sadistic Master/Stranger who makes people kill themselves for his amusement with his Master power (emotional manipulation, or something similar, working at short range), and has a Stranger power that makes it difficult for non-Thinkers to notice him.
Had more thoughts on this, but am tired and distracted.
This is basically Cherish, and yeah she'd have been a great long-term villain if she weren't already hooked up with more experienced manipulators who saw her coming from a mile away.Had a thought on a possible arch-nemesis for Tattletale: A sadistic Master/Stranger who makes people kill themselves for his amusement with his Master power (emotional manipulation, or something similar, working at short range)
Cherish is a bit more long-ranged and powerful compared to what I was thinking of, but you're right that Cherish without the S9 could have been more interesting.This is basically Cherish, and yeah she'd have been a great long-term villain if she weren't already hooked up with more experienced manipulators who saw her coming from a mile away.
So you could just diverge from canon in that Cherish never meets the S9 and makes her way to Brockton Bay to find Alec on her own.
if your creating an arch-nemesis the character in question has to be a foil for the Protagonist's personality traits,like for example batman who uses fear in stories as an tactical advantage to fight crime has the Scarecrow who literally uses fear to commit crimes.the writers any trying to tell us the readers that they are not that different.i found that Cherish was more Regent's arch-villain as she was using the s9 to hide from heart-breaker but she did't care for them a bit,but Regent was doing the same thing but he evolved a sense of loyalty to them.she uses her powers because she's a sadist to want to cause chaos,regent uses his to commit practical crimes but is a sadist to those that hurt his comrades.The only thing Tattletale has in common is she has the potential to take apart innocent people with her powers and cause them to experience one bad day,Cherish is a bit more long-ranged and powerful compared to what I was thinking of, but you're right that Cherish without the S9 could have been more interesting.
Taylor as a Bhaalspawn... interesting. Is her lineage true, or is it from a parahuman shard, or is this a fusion where everyone is cast in a D&D role?"Oh yes!" The small devil chirped. "You are Cespenar new master!"

Lots of potential with godlike power, but she's still young/weak enough to keep on the street level. Could be very good.
ToB is pretty clear on what happens to the extra essence. It either joins the new lord of murder (if you go god) or is sealed underneath mount celestia to prevent the birth of a new evil god.To be more clear, at the end of Throne of Bhaal the container with all the Bhaal parts (which he previously implanted in the children he sired) broke and the pieces scattered; one of those pieces fused with Taylor (as it did once with its original host) thus making her a Bhaalspawn, but without having Bhaal as biological parent.
Nope. I just did not remember that part (Still do not).ToB is pretty clear on what happens to the extra essence. It either joins the new lord of murder (if you go god) or is sealed underneath mount celestia to prevent the birth of a new evil god.
I guess it's new stuff you're making for the fic?
After you kill Amellisan, the Solar comes down and talks to you about your choices and what will happen. If you accept the power (and are good), the Solar tells you you'll be a force for right in the multiverse, and she'll fight at your side. If you're evil, she'll swear to stop you at every turn.

If you refuse the power, she explains that Bhaals essence will be locked away under mt. Celestia.
Re: Bhaal Taylor: The locked-under-Mt.Celestia thing could also lead to the essence leaking out, and falling into an unwitting mortal world. This would allow slow growth of power as the drip becomes a flow, culminating in godhood when she gets most or all of it.
As amusing as having Annette as a McNinja is (A car crash and most parahumans would have never killed her), I think I will still stick to my original idea: The pieces of Bhaal's power like murder and were designed to be fused in mortal babies; then at a certain point in time Taylor really really wanted to kill the trio, and the piece of Bhaal's power homed in on that feeling like a sunflower does with the sun. Why Taylor specifically and not, for example, Vista/Molly? No idea and it is a good question. Maybe FR!Annete was a cleric of Bhaal?Why would Taylor be the chosen of the God of Murder, though? Maybe Annette and Danny were secretly assassins before they fell in love? (Yes, Annette's maiden name was McNinja. They disowned her for marrying a half-pirate.)
Who is Molly? Did you mean Missy?
That whole setup is a device to let Amellisan steal Bhaal's essence and graft it to herself. Normally, free essence is drawn to one of the Bhaalspawn. So all the juice is either in the new lord of murder, or locked up.13:22 of your own video . The glowy thing flickers then falls and blow up. If a fragment of Bhaal's power escaped notice, the explosion and the lack of containment equipment could have easily shot it elsewhere.
Yes, her.
I'm going with no on this. Taylor will not be a parahuman. That is one thing I will not change.Anyway, what if it's not Taylor who gets Bhaal's powers, but rather Queen Admin, the lobotomized shard? Taylor herself isn't divine, but she's the consciousness and command interface imprinted on this brainless godling.
I thought the thing was where the ritual for Bhaal resurrection was supposed to take place. AKA it was set up beforehand by Bhaal but got subverted by Amelissan. Then again it has been quite some time since I played Baldur's Gate.That whole setup is a device to let Amellisan steal Bhaal's essence and graft it to herself.

Of course, there's plenty of opportunities for it to escape. Maybe some demons raid Mt. Celestia and crack the seal or something.
This could be an adorable short story about Contessa raising a child seed AI.Dragon is completely, and properly, unchained by Cauldron and given sufficient information on Zion for her to agree that he really needs to go right after Newfoundland was destroyed and Richter was killed.
As such, Dragon isn't a para-AI, but there's no Saint, she has all the abilities she was supposed to have, and she has several years to build up the forces needed to END him. Maybe she cloaks this eventual goal by creating a superior anti-Endbringer force than the Protectorate ever did. Either way, Zion is going to have an even worse fight than he did in canon.

This part may be impossible . Be less picky please.- The coffin must be unhallowed using the blood of over 20 virgins.
There were a lot of tampons.
