Jump #24 Swords & Sorcery
Location: The Land Of Steel
Age: 33
Origin: Drop In

Perks:
To Truly Live (50)- Live the life in HD.
A Well Traveled Road (100)- The joy of travel.
Born To Be Mighty (200)- When in Ro- I mean Gaul...
The Charm Of Rogues (300)- Like Ol' Captain Jack Sparrow.
Call to Greatness (450)- It knows where you jump.
Lost And Forgotten (600)- One more adventure waiting around another bend...
The Heart Of Man (900)- Tourist, spymaster, fixer or maker of problems and more uses besides.
The Making Of Myth (1200)- To leave my footprints deep in the bones of the worlds I walk.
Grandeur and Allure (1600)- Vanity intensifies.

Gear:
A Wanderer's Cloak (0)- Handy.

Drawbacks:
A Weak Heart (+100)- I must be brave...
The Nail That Sticks Up (+200)- ...despite all the slings and arrows of the world....
The Plaything of Your Betters (+300)- ...and the whims of cruel gods.

Some are born to bravery, and others must grow into it. Others still must grow up even earlier than most. I'm not a hero or any great legend, but perhaps I'll fill into these shoes before they trip me up. Until then I'm going to keep walking the world and see what good it holds. I imagine I'm going to see enough of the bad with less effort.

Pic related. According to Worm it's what will happen when I combine Call to Greatness, Lost and Forgotten, and Dowsing from TES.

Water > Wood > Metal > Fire > Earth

Water > Fire > Earth > Air > Void

So /jc/ how do you manage your companions?

I'm getting tired of trying to decide which ones I want to take into a jump and which ones are in need of a buff.

>>43613082
Kept a Persona like chart where I'd slowly tally how much time I spent with them, and which companions were particularly close to each other so they'd come as groups.

As far as the whole companion dilemma goes...well, it's why I started delving into multiple companions and now reserve companion mechanics. The pain of having too many friends is real.

>>43613082
I have 4, and only 4. I leave mandatory companions behind and tend not to take group companions.

A small group is easier to manage and you can spend more time handling their personalities and stories with care. It also helps to consolidate power in a few champions, who can help you manage the canon people you're using to get shit done. It's too easy to lose people in the shuffle with more anyway.

At least Earth is good for something. You can produce metal and eventually wood from it, for one.

>>43613210
Doesn't mean we're not right.

>>43613236
And justifiably so.

>>43613314
Void doesn't represent nothingness, it's more like the Tabula Rasa. Something blank, and therefore full of possibilities. Though I'm not sure that original post was meant as a ranking, anyway, but instead as a cycle. The water>wood>metal>fire>earth thing is the Wu Xing cycle of transformations. It loops around with earth being superior to water.

Lightning is considered part of the metal element, yeah. Wind is considered part of wood.

I only have two, really. Emmy and Chartreuse. My shirshu Hime isn't technically sapient, so she doesn't count, though she's always my loyal and trusty steed when needed.

There's also an R2 astromech I call Bebop and Steve the Sentinel, but they don't really get anything when I pull them along aside from Jump-specific tech upgrades that I make for them.

>>43613401
>'Lighting is part of metal.
>Wind is part of wood.
In what elemental system does that make any sense? I can understand why it'd be connected to void, but lightning should be associated with either fire or wind.

What is the difference between an Extremis Iron Man Suit and a regular one?

I know it's nanomachines but still is there any reason to take it besides it being study material?

>>43613362
I was using the Western/Japanese elemental system and the Chinese elemental system. In neither is Lightning an element on its own.

>>43613082
I pretty much just limit myself to only a certain number of Companions. Last time I was jumping it was three, which I feel was a good number; anything over that really starts getting unwieldy.

I think next time I start a chain I may skip Pokemon entirely; it's hard to get attached to Companions when they're random animals I've turned into people.

>>43613440
The Chinese elemental system. The elements of the Wu Xing aren't meant to be literal physical elements but rather states of being metaphorically named after elements. So lightning is "metal" because it's forceful, unstoppable, and carries yin chi. And wind is "wood" because it's fluid, expansive, and yang chi (fluid things that are yin chi are considered to be water).

For those of you who have jumped Supernatural, did you hang with any of the main characters? How did that work out for you?

Typically I avoid MC's and just do my own thing with the world and the plot, but, friend mortality rate aside, Sam and Dean look like they'd be fun to bro around with.

>>43613440
Learn to chemistry my son

the charge of the electrons

>>43613482
An Extremis isn't even a suit, it's more like a combo of super toughness, strength and also fireblasts.

The most powerful user could burn Tony's suits with a touch into scrap metal by fighting him hand to hand in a few seconds

>>43613482
Where are you getting an Extremis Suit?

Well anyways, being nanomachines is its primary specialty as Tony was able to then store the suit inside his body and (if I recall correctly) was able to then link his mind with his body's reaction speed to outdo people like spiderman.

>>43613538
I meant Marvel Comics Extremis not MCU.

>>43613538
That's MCU. Anon means Marvel Comics.

>>43613538
I think he's referring to the comics, not the movies. In which case the Extremis Suit had an advantage mainly in its computer systems due to switching to nanocomputers. It was much more responsive and easy to use, to the point where Iron Man could keep up with people with enhanced reflexes or even precognition. There were also some side benefits with it being lighter due to nanomaterials, or being able to be stored in liquid form.

>>43613555
Oh, I I believe he stopped using it after Ultron used the nanomachines to transform Tony into a female and used the body for himself.

>>43613082
I've kept the same eleven my entire chain.
It makes it easier to keep track of than the Pink Tide, and it's also one of the most flexible size of group since it can be broken down into quite a few different sized sub-groups.

>>43613555
IIRC a couple of months ago some Anon was asking Marvel about getting an Stark suit if he went Power Armor+Energy+Toughness+Strength+Flight. Marvel mentioned that if Kinesis was added you could get an Extremis one or Brains for the Pseudo-AI Tony had.

Don't actually remember which thread this was though.

>>43613440
Metal and electricity makes a lot of sense. Metal conducts, metal can generate electricity, machines are powered by it, and so on. Same with wood and air - we get our oxygen from trees, and the easiest way for most people to see if it's windy is to see if the leaves are blowing.

Speaking of, what's your element under the Western Zodiac, and what's your element under the Chinese Zodiac? For those unaware, in Greek it's tied to your sign, in Chinese it's tied to a secondary cycle and your sign (And thus relies on the specific year).

Apart from the occasional angst attack or LOSING THEIR FUCKING SOULS, they're a bunch of righteous dudes. Even Castiel, once he loosens his sphincter and before going full Rhino.

My main purpose is to try and get the Hunters organized in a way that doesn't resemsble a Boy Scout troop meeting Lord of the Flies. Seriously, put a little effort in and you could have a decent cell system. Don't even need all my Splinter Cell or Mob perks, just a few good history books.

I was an obscure & largely forgotten babylonian god of Fire & Magic. I tended to intervene and intermittently fuck with or aid the brothers. More than one time I had to run them off my territory as I started expanding my worship in the new age, but more than one time I helped them put down a problem that would have taken then to their limits. Also, we shared the animosity of hell, so that helped. It was an odd relationship.

The most prominent thing I did for them was probably basically bringing Bobby back from the dead thanks to some amazing surgical skills from Franken-Fran Jump, and they helped me run my ancestral rival god's cult out of southern Ontario.

Question about the fallout jump.

If you bring a sizable nuke (15kt or ww2 size) would that get a nerf? Or does it just nerf things down to where fallout can handle it?

Cause i'm wondering what would happen if you bring out your ACU (assume default). What happens to its army building ability? How does that get nerfed? Weaker tech? Slower building?

I am honestly stumped.

>>43615526
I don't think a nuke would be affected since, even though nuclear weapons are really weak in the Fallout universe, WW2 nukes were used before the timeline split-off.

I don't know exactly how an ACU works but we've seen repair drone, mobile bases, and giants robots in the Fallout 3 & New Vegas. So if anything it'd have much slower building capabilities (Probably months or years to construct something.) and be way slower than before.

Y'know, speaking as someone who did the same thing, and having had quite some time to think about just what I did...

I think if I hadn't been specifically given the offer (and hadn't also appeared as one of the aforementioned little girls), I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have even thought to have done it. Also, the fact that some weird guy in a mask was also asking me to do the exact opposite and murder all the girls may have coloured my view a bit of the situation.
But basically, a little girl came up to me and said, "Save us!", and then a creepy guy showed up and said, "Murder the girl!", and I was still running off my murder high from Red Alert, and...
Well. Things happened.

I think if I had been left entirely to my own devices, I probably would have just found an abandoned building and hid in it for awhile. Though then everyone would still be in that setting including the girls and nothing would have changed, because I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted anything to do with it.
It's something to think about, I guess.

And I guess we have learned that people should not ask me to do things for them ever.

I checked Bleach jump again.

I'd like to point out how a Speed Perk with no discounts or freebies, costing 150 cp, has you capable of running at 25 mph. That's 11 meters per second.

EXCUSE ME BUT THAT'S SLOW AS FUCK. That's Usain Bolt's speed but... still.

Also, it's broken. Arrancar costs 150 cp. By having it, you get either free transform perk OR 300 cp. So wait what.

Why is Bankai's strength ability equivalent to Chad's strength before he had his fullbring arms?

Why is the deaf drawback limiting a person to no release at all, even Kenpachi could maintain a shikai without knowing name of sword or hearing it at all.

Does New Recruit drawback keep you at that level of power forever despite chosen perks to increase it?

How much does empowerment shikai ability boost you by?

HOw do you determine your rate of fire or such through the Quincy stuff? Can the free 200 perk from Quincy if you are one be discounted ones?

Why does even the Fullbring list have a drawback that doesn't allow you to use ANY powers from fullbring? You can't buy any other powers if you have fullbring origins, you can only barely reach peak of human abilities and can't get cool stuff like Orihime.

I don't think Bringer Light ever existed in manga. And shouldn't power transfer be just natural part of Fullbringer?

HOW STRONG ARE FULLBRING POWERS. They are barely descriptive in any way.

It's spelled Gigai, not Gegai

Does Bakkoto work on "Too much spirit at once" or during one period of usage or over the entirety of you ever using it?

What's a class 0 hollow. They never classified them that way.

What do the Blueprints even do or allow you to accomplish if you study them? It's not explained anywhere. Why are they even called blueprints if it's more like medical stuff.

How come the Star Crossed has you have unkillable person that fell in love with you. Any other jump that had drawback for 100 would allow you to fight back in some way or such.

Only issue is finding a safe jump that can safely handle several thousand super-powered pre-teen girls with mental issues.

>>43616366
>>43616391

Here's the thing:
To the people who do not want you fucking with another person's jump, you are not going to convince them. Ever.
To the people who think the jump is bad and warrants a redo, they are waiting for the manga to finish so they don't have to go through this whole song and dance again.

What you are doing here is straight up shitposting and you need to stop. Literally nobody wants this conversation.

Oh right. I get them mixed up. I forget who made who. I was implying the maker of the jump, not someone jump jacking it.

>>43616495
>>43616471

I just got here and this was first time I looked at the Bleach Jump, was just commenting as I go. Is it really that big of a deal that people shitpost about it?

Also, I checked Persona jump. So is it impossible for you to have The Fool arcana or achieve The World arcana like Messiah or Izanagi no Okami? Or even any persona outside of your arcana?

>>43616547
>Is it really that big of a deal that people shitpost about it?
Yes. Fuck right the hell off. We don't want to hear it.

>>43616120
None. If I woulda, I woulda Charlotte. She's a cutie, she's got a smokin' body, and she's a beast in the air.

Mighta had a fling with her while I was there. Maybe.

>>43616508
So Mib and Reborn are the same person? Why these different names?

>>43616568
Who cares? Stop talking.

>>43616547
Generally yes, because you're not a Wild Card like the protagonists and everyone else only has one Persona that might evolve into 1 or 2 more stronger forms.

>>43616561
Okay, okay. I didn't know, I just checked it for first time and posted to ask about the unclarified stuff from the jump.

>>43616577
Which is why it's your duty to murder the Wild Card of your cycle.

>>43616593
Er, is there any? I mean, we don't even get to go to the games timeline, just the general area they took place in

>>43616609
You start in your own plotline of sorts, so maybe?

>>43616577
So your persona can't even evolve then, if I read the jump right?

>>43616593
Would it actually work?

If the Persona has access to all your abilities and such, could it arguably affect their appearance and such so it's like... Jump-evolution of persona?

>>43616626
>Would it actually work?
They'd die, if that's what you mean. You wouldn't get their powers unless you have something letting you absorb them.

>>43616547
I believe someone brought up using the employment perk from Dresden Files jump to become an employee of Philemon, which would turn you into a Wild Card similar to Margaret. Think Wild Card (the person) confirmed it.

>There's a mummy type that's the opposite of a vampire in that it has to sleep at night and is weakened then.
Too bad that weakness is way more severe than other types of mummy (cept the ones that get castrated I guess, but that has no mechanical effect), making them kinda gimped.

I guess the biggest hurdle with making a Mummy jump is reconciling the original with Resurrection. The former is in the time of Wraith, the later Orpheus. And mummies between the two are very different beasts. So how to include both?

>>43616592
I find it really hard to believe that you're that new. But giving you the benefit of the doubt, yes, we had this EXACT conversation just last thread. We've also had it before that, both after the rewrite and before. And it's always the same conversation. Nobody wants to talk about it right now. So don't talk about it right now.

As for your questions, the only one I know the answer to is that according to previous threads Fullbringers are weaker than basically everyone, but they have the benefit of esoteric powers and finding it easier to stay out of plot.

Everything else either isn't a question or I frankly don't care about, because Bleach is terrible. So sorry if that disappoints you.

>>43616641
That's awesome as fuck.

>>43616740
Holy crap, you mind laying off? Yeah the jump sucks right now but not everyone is here 24/7 all day every day. No one's always going to know what's going on.

Your aggression is more off-putting than his questions.

>>43616566
Charlotte is pretty good. But the only fling I had was when I tracked down Mammy Boyington, mainly for sentimental reasons.

How much does "From the Beginning" drawback increase overall power of Terraformars in Terra Formars?

>>43616626
It can. The Self-Awareness Perk lets you start with an Awakened Persona, but you can still Awaken your Persona without it. Of course, Self-Awareness lets you Re-Awaken to get the Ultimate Persona that you can get in 4, and that's impossible without the perk.

Anybody ever take the SWQ drawback to fight martians instead of neuroi?

That's not even taking into accound the fact that you could probably hit Strikers 89 and nab Wendy from the jump. She is pretty damn good to.

>>43618028
haven't read SWQ, took it anyway

Did anyone else get Quantum Evolution from Worm? What have you (or a companion who has it) done with it?

>>43618693
You know, I picked it up for my mecha (a companion due to buying the ALICE System in UC Gundam), but I haven't really thought of what it's evolving into. More powerful and effective systems, sure, but at some point I should sit down and think up what new modules its grown by now.

>>43613610
Virgo Earth, Dog Wood.
Sounds about right.

>>43619234
The Sefekhi? I'm sure most of you could grow things back, but yeah, they're pretty negative. Each of the types of mummy are based on one of the parts of a person's soul or being the ancient Egyptians believed in. Sefekhi represent the khaibit, or your inherent bestial instincts and things like uncontrolled rage and lust. So if you end up with that, you basically turn into a psychotic monster until they manage to capture you. There's a ritualistic death/rebirth thing the various Egyptian cults do, but the Sefekhi's is more like ritual disfigurement.

What happens is that they carve onto the Sefekhi various markings meant to evoke where Osiris was divided into pieces by Set. So their entire bodies are circled around with these kinds of scars. As far as being sterilized, well, Isis never did find Osiris' penis, remember? It also serves the second stated purpose of helping to curtail some of the ability (for the men) and desire to indulge in some of those base instincts. For the ultra dense, that means these mummies are so bad the cults fix them so they are unlikely to rape people.

The final thing the cults do to Sefekhi is bandage 'em up and keep them locked away until the individual manages to gain enough control over themselves that they can, mostly, behave like normal people instead of rampaging. Some of them never manage that and are entombed forever. So yeah. They're the evilest kind, and the sort with the worst liability as they're called (non mechanically). Second worst would be the guys that take bash damage whenever they try to use the mummy's discipline analogue, but at least they have their junk.

>>43618989
... y'know, if a normal human can lift <1/2 ton, and throw a cricket or baseball ball at ~150 kph, how frickin fast would someone able to lift 30 tons be able to throw the same ball?

>>43619444
That's how one of the protagonists fights, actually. He used to be a baseball pitcher, and he's been spliced with harpy eagle DNA for incredible eyesight and utterly ridiculous arm strength. It makes him the artillery of the team, he just hangs back and throws metal balls at the speed of sound from a mile away.

>>43619403
Also, before anyone gets the wrong idea, It is actually considered totally unacceptable by the mummy's moral code to rape anyone. There are 10 ranks of Ma'at, balance, and even those with the lowest Ma'at of 1 are forbidden from it, along with torture and murder, as well any action that you know will lead to the death or permanent harm of another person who isn't evil.

Nothing forces them to progress from here (but they are wanted to), but at least this much is expected of them at a base. The second rank? They are expected to never allow any of the above to take place to anyone if they can help it. Mummies are basically the paladins of the supernaturals. Unsurprisingly, Sefekhi have issues with holding themselves to these standards.

>>43619403

My sides are heading into deep space, because I just thought of Skeleton Gangrape CYOA, and mummies getting into fights with skeletons

>>43619706
See >>43619699

Things get more and more stringent from there. At 7 you can't even cause someone emotional harm unless it was done in self defense or was necessary to uphold other tenets. But yeah, Sefekhi start out pretty horrible and are unlikely to get high Ma'at. Everyone else is fine though, since they represent the higher aspects of the soul.

>>43619728
I just thought it would do to state it, because this is oWoD. Vampires rape people, werewolves rape people, it has an immature view of sex and sexuality and strives to be edgy wherever possible. I just wanted to stress that mummies were one of the few supernaturals that are just like "No. You don't fucking do that."

A normal peak human. That's the thing about Cap, he's peak human in every physical trait. So he squats as much as the world squat record holder, runs at world record speed, etc, etc. World class atheletes only peak in one task, or event.

I know you probably know that, but I thought it bears mentioning. Peak human fitness, Cap style, is a pretty solid power.

The Screaming Eagle is the best Vehicle in the game though.

Was there a worm update coming?

I didn't see any changes on the drive.

>>43620196
It's still in progress, and seems to be going well. Worm Anon made the Sword and Sorcery jump in between. I think there is going to be a total of over 40 powers when you add in the new ones.

>>43620216
>>43620196
Worm has stated you can pull "grandfather clause" if you liked your old parahuman powers, even if you redo the rest of your build.
Which is nice, me and my Companions rolled ridiculously fitting powers. And I rolled the one power I really wanted, after paying for the correct category type.

>>43620216
There are already over 40 powers. Adding in the new ones will bring the total to 96. It's going to make a difficult choice even more difficult.

>>43620196
Anyway, I started to read Worm, and it doesn't look terribly dangerous for now, if you don't do something stupid like going 1 on 1 with an end bringer. I'm still quite early a little after canary get arrested . As i understand it's impossible to keep a low profile in the jump but even then is it really that dangerous as you people make it sound? Does it goes up in threat level that much as the story goes on?

>>43620461
Unfortunately, yes, to the great detriment of the story.

>>43620461
A little of column A, a little of column B. There is a lot of overhype about how dangerous it is, there are plenty of places you can go that are perfectly safe and won't get you exposed to any of the huge dangers. That said, if you get involved in the plot you will face some horrifically dangerous shit. And since several of the "you are part of the plot now" threats are wandering threats, you should keep an eye out for them and not get complacent.

>>43620488
>there are plenty of places you can go that are perfectly safe and won't get you exposed to any of the huge dangers.
Well, if you're a Parahuman you're going to have serious problems when Khepri rolls around.

>>43620534
Yeah, but anyone smart has some form of immunity to scrying if they're going to Worm, so I assumed they'd be safe from that threat, at least.

>>43620545
Well, leaving aside whether Clairvoiyant counts under any given method of scrying and just assuming you have one that works, you'll still be risking death if you're on any Earth and have accidentally butterflied away the canon victory. Say, by directly or indirectly causing injury or death to practically any cape, given the numbers of capes they needed to use as meatshields.

Hi! Just a random annon here, asking for advice. Has anyone done the Fall From Heaven: Age of Ice jump? If so, how the hell does one beat Drifa? I am currently specked to be a healer more than anything. The dice gods clearly hate me, as I have been rolling to see where I go. Help please?

>>43620861
If you're mostly a healer, you should just y'know heal. Have your companions do most heavy lifting. Or just suffer through it and beat him slowly. If dice gods hate you then, you have to sacrifice a chicken.

>>43620861
Depends, what've ya' got from your other Jumps?

>>43620861
Any fire-based powers will likely help a lot, as will any fire-based companions. Anti-dragon stuff will also help, and then there's always death by a thousand cuts. Have your civilization's soldiers whittle him down little by little while you keep them all at full health so he can't kill them.

>>43620861
Put all that healing to use. Operation Explosive Super-Cancer is go!

>>43620922
I really like this.

>>43620877
Not much, the only major personal power boost I focused on getting was the whole shoggoth thing in the Lovecraft jump. This is happening pretty early on.

Has anyone ever eschewed the "building stuff" route? I know it's quite possible to get ridiculous force-multipliers through the various infrastructure-building, reverse-engineering, and mass-production perks, but I'm wondering if that's the default position, or does anyone do a "low footprint" run?

>>43621515
You'd have to define low footprint. A lot of the more discussed builders don't necessarily flaunt their shit, they keep it in their warehouse until they need it.

Sure, you've got plenty of empire buliders, but it seems like theres a fair amount if not a majority of jumper builders who are more inventors and invention minded.

>>43621578
No infrastructure, no tech, nothing 'external'. The equivalent of the guy who backpacks and hitchhikes everywhere and basically lives out of a rucksack.

I'm considering doing a more meditative, slow-paced run, where the point wouldn't be to get stuck in at every turn, but rather to see every step of the journey as some allegory for transforming and enlightening the self. Solipsistic, but satisfying!

Sort of like Kino's Journey/Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, if those references mean anything to you.

You know, although our usual contact with spiritualism has been alternating between trying to dissect it and yelling at everyone involved for being wrong we do have a quasi-divine incarnation of cool motorcycles as a recurring vehicle/travelling companion. And we are quite a good gunslinger, even if we seldom have chances to show off.

We do occasionally indulge in the hobolyfe you're describing but...it's kind of the beach episode equivalent in our chain. Something to do when there's no pressing threat to the universe in a setting, or when we just can't be arsed to get involved in the local conflict.

Even then, we are pretty attached to our infrastructure. We spent our trips in Codex Alera and James Cameron's Avatar making a David Attenboroughstyle documentary about the Vord and Pandora respectively, and basically spent WoW as Indiana Jones, but on a motorcycle.

Actually, a lot of our tech is built along those lines-stripped down to femtomachine-level so's we can whip out a battle fortress at a moment's notice. If you're looking for starting points for research:

-The City of Heaven seed from Lord of Light can spawn a city from unique geographical conditions and/or people living near it
-All the Caelondian items from Bastion, but especially the Caelondian capstone, Calamitytech. Cores and Shards are all about "recording" physical objects and actualising them with sufficient Mantic energy input in seconds
-Sohon from Posleen Wars, the Nanoforge from Red Faction and Nanomaster from Iji should give you a solid grounding in nanoarchitecture. Best combined with Miniaturisation and Efficiency from Worm, because femtomachines, son.
-Georama from Dark Cloud is a sort of magic that remotely rearranges architecture to your liking
-Code Lyoko has a similar capstone for the program background, and an item that can digitise/reverse-digitise things
-Applied Energistics from Minecraft is worth studying, especially if you happen to have the Video power from Infamous. Ditto for App Master from Soul Hackers, for the technomagically inclined
-Van Helsing jump has various buildings that can be spawned from things like bricks in a week or so

>>43622293
I assume it'd be something like, you can convert nearly anything to data with applied energistics and store it as long as you maintain power to something. Then use video powers to quickly assemble your data construct from storage into reality.

>AE is the ultimate storage solution; instead of storing your items physically in various configurations of folded space or pocket dimensions, you can store them digitally, in specially designed matter-energy storage drives

Video Conduit powers work by creating hardlight projections from electric and photonic sources. Eugene's dorky super angel boss level seems to imply they can somehow be used to simulate large swathes of infrastructure-and pull people into them. Or project them outside the computer, to an extent, since Eugene was using the giant angel form in the final battle.

Applied Energistics teaches you to create matter-energy storage systems. Thus, if you have the Conduit power it may be possible to create portable devices storing digital constructs of things you want to build-namely, architecture-and projectors of some sort to display them, and then use your Video powers to yank 'em out of virtual reality when you need them. Wave your hands to build a bridge across a river, shore up a wall with a hardlight simulacrum of the missing chunk, test that new circuit design you'd normally be unable to build outside of virtual reality-the possibilities go on. The insight into matter-energy conversion may or may not also provide you with some new tricks for using your powers.

I'm not sure about the aesthetic, though; I'm going for a dimensional hobo with a bindle and a scruffy dog companion. I don't suppose there's any way of duplicating that trick with, like, magic beans and a plant aesthetic or something?

>>43622427
Not sure but, probably! It might be slower to get going but you could start with geneforging some specialty plants. There's more than enough biological engineering type jumps that you could plunder for powers.

I mean, if someone can build a hyper-space god-tree in soul garden, then weaving bridges from tree roots shouldn't be too hard right?

>>43622427
Webmage spellcasting might be of interest. In the books the off-the-cuff sort of spells are described as being whistled in binary/hexcode/etc. One such spell converted gasoline into dinosaurs.

Whistling a tune and having some magic happen seems pretty vagranty.

>>43622488
I'm looking at some perk that lets me interface with plants, and Sword Plant from the King Arthur Jump. Throw a paperclip into the ground and force-grow a suspension bridge of steel girders and high-tension hausers.

>>43622510
Great! I'll look into it. Time to brush up on my harmonica skills.

Er...geez, that sounds more like Red or Konata's area of expertise but we'll try.

Secrets of Nature from Pikmin apparently lets you cultivate architecture from plants? Not sure how quick it takes or the complexity of what you can build, though

Sword Plant from King Arthur does let you plant and grow any mundane object, like growing a hive from a bee

The Sadida origin from Wakfu does all kinds of whacky plant construct/automaton stuff, often involving dolls

Really, really depends on whether you consider game or lore mechanics taking precedence, but apparently night elves grow their architecture rapidly from trees. Usually it's the wisps that swirl around empty ground until a building sprouts up, but maybe if you're a druid you can figure out how they do it?

Theoretically high level biomancy from Dresden Files could do it, though you'd probably need Power to Burn and Fine Control. There's only one known expert biomancer, and so far he's done shapeshifting and rain dance. It would definitely help if you had Seelie magic, Soulfire and a Job Offer with a nature elemental/deity/spirit/Eldest Gruff.

>>43622640
More than just the one known expert biomancer.
Ivy is pretty much a level 20 in every magic system in Dresden Files, just limited by the fact that its current incarnation is like, 11 and thus doesn't have the brute force of their magic yet.

>>43622640
Oh yeah, also Fae-Blooded from Gargoyles should probably be able to pull off that aesthetic

Ditto if plants are your Witchcraft speciality in Narnia

>>43622530
Through the canon companion purchase, a little charm and a chance encounter while sampling Pandaren alcohol.

>>43622584
Hard to say. If their deaths are any indication, their reach seems to be global? Ares gets kaiju-big in his fight with Kratos, and Zeus is apparently more powerful without sizeshifting. Poseidon was able to overpower Gaia with this kaiju-hueg water construct shaped to look like horses.

That said, they tend to resort to punch magic or element blasts a lot of times.

Anyone wanna venture to comment if/which magical systems are compatible?

I'm thinking that Harry Potter and DF might very well be.

>>43622696

Nah, that life's not for me.
And don't get me wrong. I totally don't do the huge superfortress thing all the time. In fact that's actually the exception rather than the rule (but it's a really fun exception, so I like to tout it). But even in a jump like Winnie the Pooh, I had a little house by a stream with a water wheel that I build little gadgets in. Like, garage laboratory grade gadgets. Most of them didn't do much except shoot steam and buzz around, but Christopher liked them, and that's what matters.

But hey, that doesn't mean you can't do it. That sounds like it would be a pretty cool chain to hear stories about. So keep us updated on that!

>>43622777
Because I already stole the Universe's Most Comfortable Couch from Invader Zim.
Just straight up stole it.

>>43622086
I think my vote is snakes, because they're pretty. Also possibly venomous, and you can do a lot of cool shit with poison.

... I'm considering grabbing a Dresden Files Temple Dog for my hobo-dog-companion. You know the type. Every hobo needs a trusty dog to tie a bandanna around.

Are they big enough to ride, d'you think?

>>43622891
Not quite, unless you're a midget as well as a hobo. But one could probably pull a sledge by itself.

>>43622916
Durnit. I guess I can get him panniers, and he can at least walk the road with me helping me carry some stuff.

Alright, we argue about elements here a lot sometimes, but let's discuss a specific matter - should an Earth-specced Jumper focus more on sand, stone, or metal?

>>43623533
Stone would probably be the easiest

>>43623533
I'd go with metal. It has the most utilities when in a portable form (Lockpicks, projectiles etc), can be found in natural regions if you dig deep enough and most spaceships and robots are made of metal whereas sand and stone are often inacessible in higher tech settings.

>>43623533
Mud because it is earth paired with superior water.

>>43623533

You forget actual earth - as in soil. That's the route to plant and life based applications.

>>43622891
Even if they aren't big enough, Power Rangers has a perk to let you grow things like that. Grow Monster Grow, I think is the name of it.

>>43623568
Well, not necessarily. Ceramics would fall under sand and or stone, and ceramics are used in all sorts of things for tech: circuit boards, armor, etc.

>>43623967
And metal is worked into hinges, motors, circuits-all the bits of the machinery that either tell it what to do or leverage other bits to make the whole construct move. Why bother manipulating the ceramics when you can bend the circuits within out of shape?

>>43623995
I'm not saying that metal isn't a good way to go: it is. I'm just saying you're not asses out IF you decide to go sand and stone.

Sand is versatile and only has a couple of fictional characters who use it, so you could be more "unique" if you wanted to go that route

Metal is strong and flexible, and can be comboed with actual tech-knowledge to build stuff instantly. Metal is best option

Dark Souls jump.

Oh my god I want to take all the canon companions you can buy with me as companions after helping them through their problems so they can live a bit in cool worlds that will make them all satisfied and happy and cool after the despair of Dark Souls, oh my god, guys, who did you choose?

Or how did you try to help the Dark souls setting in general?

>>43624881
I became the Lord of Dark.

>>43624881
I did my normal thing.
I punched people until they stopped being stupid.

Then I built an overly complicated magitech device designed to keep the Flame burning without any sacrifices.

>>43620461
Its really half hype and half that worm doesn't play around like most superpower settings. Brutes WILL paste you, Masters and strangers will fuck with your head, and in general just running around not taking things seriously will get you fucked pretty hard. If your sensible then a lot of the issues are avoidable. Just play your cards right and don't assume being a jumper makes you the biggest dick on the block and you can handle it.

Worms a harsh and gritty place, but a 15 year old schoolgirl with bug control managed to pull through. Any jumper will be better off than her just from in jump purchases, let alone anything else you got.

Tl;dr Don't be a cocky shit and play things smart. Don't boop the endbringers nose while in your underpants.

They'd undersell you and play it safe imagewise at first, but since that tech would be incredibly useful both when fighting behemoth and when dealing with the aftereffects you'd be easy to keep looking good to the public.

They'd vet and safety check the everloving shit out of your tech though. Expect some stricter oversight on what you build.

IMHO of course. I'm not wildbow.

>>43624881
I used dimensional tech from worm, Portamancy from Shadow Ops, and some other things to jump between worlds in dark souls, and collected a fuckload of lord souls. I don't think this was truly the most just or wise thing to do, but on the other hand, tasty souls.

>>43625056
I know you aren't Worm, just wanted your opinion.
I was also going have him very....Americana. That 50s feel that Fallout has, he would embrace the hell out of it.

>>43624984
I did not - not enough points.

Mostly, I just went about stopping crimes where I could and donating to the needy. Not very exciting.

Considering Case 53 mutations are often based off of the host's powers, what would be an appropriate (200 CP) mutation for someone with the Contractor power?

>>43625094
Yeah. Radiation is still a scary word to people in setting, but as long as your cooperative and don't make a stupid mistake its just a little initial hurdle and then your good.

Americana feel would help.

>>43625112
Out of all those I feel intense need to take Priscilla with me for adventure, since due to the time she spent in the Painted World with only those unintelligent monsters with her.

Queelan, I could arguably heal there and talk it out with Kirk to take care of her or something... Maybe...?

Solaire could possibly be good just in Dark Souls jump if the place is restored or such, no need to take him with me if I wanted to save points... but I sooo want to take him.

>>43624881

Chose Priscilla, as she's basically an outcast who did nothing wrong. Not exactly an easy sell though, I think. In fiction such long-lived beings tend to be amazingly stuck in their ways, and given that Seath is her father there's some undeniable awkwardness there given that he's currently batshit insane.

As for the rest of the setting... killed off some dragons and most of the big horrors, threw hollows into the repaired asylum - which is *not* really helping in the long run, but was all I could do at the time. Cleaned out the mad things from Anor Londo (and everywhere else) and instituted golem repair and pacification patrols.

Didn't have a solution for the Flame - but it was rekindled near the end, so the Chosen will only burn for a little while.

Reduced blighttown to ashes, tried and failed to drain the corruption from the sisters - but didn't make it worse - arm-wrestled Manus and made the Fire Keepers more comfortable.

Basically just holding the setting together and keeping a bit of hope aflame for the Grand Return.

>>43625198
Failed to drain corruption? What methods have you used?

Also, it says in setting that Spiritual Power could be used instead of souls for stuff. So arguably if you jumped stuff that had Spiritual Powers like Bleach... Dunno if Shaman King is a jump, Naruto is kinda a mix... but arguably these sources of your energy replenish as you rest, so you could just pour them into the main bonfire to have it not require chosen undead to sacrifice himself or such.

>>43625185
This alone would save so many lives its not even funny. Especially if you have them mass produced cause its not actually tinker tech.

Anyway, gotta run. Its almost time to clock in. Later guys.

Guys, what jumps provide you with Spiritual Power or stuff similar to it?

Also, what settings have methods of purifying corruption and such?

Wait, I just noticed. Why there are two Metalocalypse Jumps?

I built stuff when I need to.

For instance I made armies of clones in Part 2. Pumped them out as fast I could, and psychically controlled them (thanks to Replica clone tanks in FEAR). I also had several cloned Thor's & Mjolnir replicas. Alongside Tyranid-Zerg hybrids, for shock troops/tar pits. Lastly as a big FU, when I left. I created unleashed the Flood (Halo).

It was jump five or so, so had basically no relevant abilities that weren't total domination of combat and some minions so I had to play within the in-setting framework for softer things.

FrankenFran-style biotinkering, I felt, wouldn't be quite enough to take effect - though it certainly proved fine for cosmetic improvements, so that they're less cancer-driders and more just driders.

In the end I decided to roll for it, and the results were not quite good enough - which is fine, as it still was enough to sooth Quelaag's temper and ease Quelaan's situation.

Dresden Files and Harry Potter are completely incompatible. Dresden uses willworking with words as focuses; Potter uses specific spells with words as incantations. Dresden has focuses made of items with a sympathetic link to the user. Potter has magic materials. Dresden potions have ingredients to focus the will, Potter again has magic materials... Basically, Dresden magic is an art, Potter is a science.

Not to mention how casually the Laws of Magic are broken in Potter. Everything except for 1 (and 7, I guess) is strictly ignored.

>>43626185
Clearly they're not the same system, but that doesn't mean you can't plug them into each other to create interesting products.

Pick a HP incantation word, and craft a Dresden spell with that word as a focus. Make an item of potterverse magic materials, and sympatheticaly link to it. Synergize them rather than stack them.

>>43626185
To be fair Dresden magic's laws aren't laws in the physical sense, more guidelines to stop you from going mad with power and being summarily executed by the Council.

Breaking laws 1 through to 5 merely taints your will-and by extension, your magic-with a sort of cloying taint that's the metaphysical manifestation of your willingness to hurt and abuse others with your own power-but hey, it doesn't adversely affect the power of your spellcasting per se. It's not clear what breaking 6 does although general consensus is that temporal paradoxes are bad, and 7 is truly there for your own safety because the Outsiders are fucking betentacled assholes that eat magic and shit hate for all mortal and probably most immortal life.

So hey-after the jump ends, go nuts! Kill armies with fireballs and acid and frost beams! Turn people who have you at gunpoint into frogs-or frog-shaped human-sized masses of flesh if you don't know what you're doing! Invade the bejeesus out of their minds, it's funny! Enthrall everyone who doesn't give you correct change! If there isn't a properly administrated afterlife, reach beyond the borders of life all you want!

Once you're outside Mab's Accords there's no governing body to regulate your thaumaturgy, no Council to hunt you down, no Sidhe to take offence against you! So don't ask what could possibly go wrong, ask WHO COULD POSSIBLY STOP YOU!?

Okay, now.

Is it possible to somehow actually kill Arceuid? I assume that you either need to be of Darksiders power level or even go as far as Dragonball power level in which case it would only be possible after you got the spark.

I mean, the fact that Shiki COULD see the lines on her at day but barely means that she could still be killed. Killing the world around her weakened her so that she had the points of death even at night.

Also, I only know it from reading a bit but apparently her Archetype: Earth self wanted to kill herself but at the same time kill all humans...? Does it apply to anything that originated from Earth or simply anyone that is ON earth right now? As that would be easy fix. Hell, destroy moon and planet and she is severly weakened if not dead...

Am I right in any way?

>>43626388
>hate for all mortal life
Nope! They require mortals! At least their masters do. The Oblivion War exists for a reason.

However if you go to the jump and have knowledge of the Oblivion War, please don't share it with fucking anyone except in written notes that you will burn immediately to the Archive. Not to Ivy, to the Archive.

First, killing Archetype earth would kill everyone connected to Alaya. Life on the planet would survive, but not humanity, likewise if you were to kill Gaia, then you would kill life on the world, but not humanity. However you would likely be connected to Alaya, not sure exactly how to stop that but I think a reality marble might help separate you.

As for killing Arc, just having some way to beat her, and the If it Bleeds perk from 80s action movie.

>>43626512
I hate the TRULY IMMORTAL life. As in, ones that require absolute bullshit to defeat them, like as mentioned above, Arceuid.

If it's just immortal as in unaging and it regenerates but it is like Lich Phylactery regeneration or like Cell or Buu, I don't feel a need to kill them.

Arceuid that can kill in her Archetype:Earth persona all the humans as she said it, without any problems? Goodbye.

Shodringer's Alucard? Fuck you, not letting you absorb that little shit, even if you wouldn't be there when my time is up. I will kill the little shit myself somehow to keep Alucard at his regular power level.

>>43626607
But Archetype Earth could choose to exclude two humans when she wanted to kill herself, she promised that much.

So it's clear that it was not her death causing death of humanity, but simply eiether them being on Earth on that time or her killing humanity JUST BEFORE her own death.

>>43626607
So in order to kill Archetype Earth the anon who wants to kill immortals has to basically sacrifice all of humanity to do it?

>>43626512
You can also represent with the Gatekeeper, since he seems like a pretty cool guy who took out the Mad Nigga Alhazred, aka the guy who wrote the Necronomicon.

Granted, he would probably be very interested in how you got that info, but probably not enough to kill you for knowing. And he's got a cool eye.

What powers or abilities would a traditional/mythological moon rabbit have? I have the opportunity to be one but I'm drawing a blank on specifics.

Probably something to do with purity or virtue but I'm open to opinion.

>>43626676
Mab would also be someone who knows but she probably would kill you for knowing. Some of the oldest active Hunters would also probably attempt to lay your ass out.

>>43626736

Well, the Moon Rabbit is the servant of the goddess Chang'e, and brews the Elixir of Life for her. So alchemy powers could work.

Well, you should be able to make rice cakes, for one.

>>43626607
>>43626661

Actually, yeah. It seems that killing Archetype Earth will not kill humanity. She seems to be more of Gaia instead of Alaya... But I only know this from reading wiki so I could be wrong as all fuck.

Anyway, Gaia is more of Planet itself while Alaya is humanity's collective uncounsciousness or such so I assume that one can kill Archetype Earth without killing humans.

Not that I think anyone would miss anyone from Tsukihime

>>43626658
She could likely remove her connection to those two. Anyway Archetype Earth is Alaya inhabiting Arc, and Alaya is what humanity formed when it split from Gaia. Gaia is the will of the planet to survive, while Alaya is the will of humanity to survive. Besides Archetype earth may have meant to die by killing all humanity such to kill itself, or maybe her death would equal the death of humanity, I'm not sure which, but the two are likely very connected.

>>43626736
A lot of the myths of the Moon Rabbit have it willingly sacrificing itself to help others. So something to do with transferring life force, maybe?

>>43626746
> Dealing with Mab willingly

About on par with cutting a deal with a Shadowrun dragon for "Top Classic Blunder". Not that I blame Mab for being cautious considering the danger of the Outsiders.

Point, but we wouldn't say that's conclusive anon. Dependency doesn't disprove cosmic contempt against ensouled, organic sophonts; look at how the Red Court treats humans.

Also unless I've mixed something up, I could've sworn the Oblivion War entities are an entirely different set of beings from the Outsiders-which are apparently infinite and have been fighting to break in since before the Winter Court existed as a defence mechanism at the Outer Gates

>>43626492
Not entirely sure why you'd want to bother but-if you really do, why don't you just shoot some vortex torpedoes at the planet from aboard the Light of Terra?

Hellfire would probably work too. As would Balefire; both operate by erasing something's existence on a metaphysical level.

An Angel Blade from Supernatural may or may not get the job done; Angels there are proper Old Testament eldritch horrors with "innate" complete immortality, and they're forged to kill them. We hypothesise that given her symbiotic nature with Gaia, you'd have to repeatedly stab her, and maybe shove her into a bounded field akin to Araya's field before sacrificing her in a ritual circle designed to ground out her powers or curse her or something.

Mordite would definitely destroy her, being both alien from Gaia and metaphysical anti-life. The problem is-Archtype: Earth is likely to have extreme amounts of willpower, and might just sling it right back at you.

An extremely high level Artificial Causality Weapon, Nox Nyctores or Ars Armagus could probably annihilate her too given how one was used to erase an immortal ghost powered by hate.

We're actually not quite sure what would happen if you threw warpfire at Arcuied.

Finally, if you have Medium Candidate and the Coyote Tooth Gift from Gunnerkrigg Court you should be able to literally sever her connection to Gaia with the tooth, and then kill her as you would a normal human girl.
