Nice name!

Now onward with Nightmare City!

Come Under The Wet Yourself [100]: There are moments at which you’ll hit rock bottom. However you’ll always find a small glimmer of hope even in your darkest moments. Even should you be at the edge of suicide you would at least find a second to reflect on your good times. It isn’t guaranteed to help but this perk allows you a moment of clarity about the good things in life.

This Little Time That You Live Here [200]: You’ve learned that some things are more valuable than others. Time can pass by but the emotional impact of memories can change a person more readily than any other weapon or armor. You can gauge your emotions slightly, allowing you to care a little less about unimportant things and cling a little more to memories of joy and happiness. Whilst this can’t alter your personality it may lead you to have greater determination when facing unlikely odds.

We Cannot Change the Past [400]: The past is immutable to those of this world so you must learn to accept deal with the present no matter how ugly it’s face. Overcoming a perilous situation and ending in triumph is always the path you should seek but reflecting on the past allows you to objectively take in both failure and victory so to make you stronger. Should you take time to reflect on something you had trouble with you’ll be able to create counters for that situation so that if you ever encountered that situation again you would be able to make the result favor you more than the last time. The closer to the original situation that the new one is the greater the plan’s effectiveness, however the more differences that are introduce the less effective the plan will become.


Field too long. Continuing on next post.

>>51813364
Have no idea what happened there.

Reach Out Our Hands [600]: The future is yours to create. Moments come when you are faced with the threat to all that you hold dear. This power allows you to, in moments of dire need when you or a loved one is threatened with death or worse, to gain powerful boost that could, if used correctly, turn the tables. This boost is mostly temporary but always leaves you slightly better off than before it activated, reflected in anything from a full heal to the ability to manifest weapons out of thin air. Powers left behind are minimalistic things, pale shadows of the power you enjoyed during the temporary period of boost, but mastering them could be a path to getting to that point on a more permanent bases.

>>51813333
Whoa, nice quads, half-Mega Satan.

>>51813362
No, but it's appreciated. Looks pretty good. I'm going to introduce these people to mobile suits, the game is more or less Gundam already.

>>51813362
I always wanted a Call of Duty Jump. Infinite Warfare is okay, would've liked a Black Ops Jump.

Reading now.

>>51813362

Oh, hey, how ya doin'.

>>51813383
I woulda made Black Ops, but I've only played 2 and a liiitle bit of 1 and I didn't think I could do it justice.

>>51813395
I'm doing pretty good, anon.

Like, as in, pic-related? Huh,

>>51813414
Ahh. would've liked one. Really liked the swarm nano machine things and the rolly balls. Loki would have been a sweet weapon to have.

What is the largest ship that you can get from the Light Fleet of Fog option? Other than the subs that is.

>>51813362
Awesome. After we finished discussing the story last time I realized there was apparently a zombie mode to the game too, CoD really won't get away from the zombie meme will they?

>>51813433
Nope more like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08xabmiFuHU

>>51813449
Zombies makes them money. People will outright buy the game just for the zombies mode and nothing else.
It would be dumb on their part to take it out.

>>51812500
>basically what >>51812442 said

Sure, but only within reason. Let's look at Kryptonians for example:

Race "package" cost of 1000 cp, or only 500cp if you ally with the Regime. Comes with potentially fatal allergy to kryptonite and an occasional need for yellow sunlight.

Separated "powers" cost of 3000 cp, no discounts available: enhanced reflexes (not even close), speedster (not as good), extreme durability, enhanced regeneration, extreme strength, flight (not even remotely close), enhanced senses (no xray vision), breath attack with freezing effect, eye beams with heat effect. Comes with no allergy to kryptonite nor need for a yellow sun, but you're not remotely as quick or fast as a Kryptonian and lacking a few miscellaneous powers.

I could understand a 2:1 disparity, that fits the whole "50% discount" style of jumpchain, but the above is or exceeds a factor of three (or six!) to one.

So if you don't want to make the races significantly more expensive, discounting individual powers for those who didn't choose a super-powered race "package" would be reasonable and in line with the 50% tradition.

>>51813374
Can we stop doing the "You can constantly gain new powers through single perks" stuff? It's fine as a perk that can give you temporary power ups but ones that give you entirely new powers, not weak ones either, that you can eventually train to full strength is too much.

>>51813383
Is the old CoD wip from 2015 still on the drive?

>>51813430
You mean based on the jump, or just for the hell of it?

>>51813437
I swear Woods was enough of a goldmine for two perk trees. Cranky jackass that he is.

>>51813449
They won't! Although at the same time, even though they try to change it up a little each game, it ends up being pretty much the same. I'd wager it's the only part of CoD you can make a single generic jump for.

>>51813465
Hello, anon.

>>51813430
Not all that often. It always just ends up being akward and uncomfortable.

>>51813460
Fair enough, I'll add 300 CP for powers for non-superhuman races.

And it's not as bad a disparity If you take out speedster, but that's another issue which, frankly, I'm too tired to tackle.

Also, are uploads to the drive supposed to be restricted now?

>>51813362
I think the first two marine perks could be price-swapped.

>>51813430
I change forms at the drop of a hat, but I'm pretty consistent about sticking to being female. Makes me feel pretty.

>>51813440
Destroyers or the smaller cruisers, maybe? Heavy cruisers and battleships are listed under the Heavy Vessel option, so those should give you an idea of "too big for this."

*not an expert.

>>51813430
As many times as I damn-well please after I got Potterverse's Metamorphmagus...or, well, used to.

Companions bruv, they are sometimes a great boon, but other times a grave curse.

Though in this case, I decided to stop using the power outside of emergencies so that they can feel comfortable.

>>51813469
Any reasoning?

>>51813488
I actually flipflopped on this for a while, but I decided I wanted to make sure the freebie for the explicitly combat-based origin was actually a combat perk. Both because it generally made sense and also to avoid a marine who spent all of their CP on items not being a very good fighter.

>>51813512
Aside from "You rack up a ridiculous number of actually good powers over time from this one perk" and that it seems significantly better then the other capstone we've seen so far because of it's incredible long term potential, in addition to it's great short term effect? It already puts you in a advantageous position when you or a loved one is in danger but getting permanent powers you can train up, with no limit on the number you can gather, is just too for what we have seen so far as the other perks.

>>51813430
Every four or five jumps, on average. Sometimes I'll do it more often to mess with people, though. Depends on the setting. Like, Ranma 1/2 I did it constantly just so that Ranma would realize my transformations were under my control instead of Jusenkyo-based. He got so jealous.

>>51813487
>anon points out separate powers can be up to 2500cp more expensive than buying them as a racial pack.
>maker adds an extra 300cp for non-super races.

Er... why not just go with the discount idea? It would seem to scale better.

Ravenloft, that was some good stuff. Finished reading it while the thread was down. I feel bad for Karen, but at least she got a semi-happy ending after all that. Going to have to up my own writing game a little bit though. You always write such interesting stuff.

>>51813364
>>51813374
Rough, but interesting perks. I'm not really certain "We Cannot Change the Past" is worth 400 the way it stands. Unfortunately, I don't really have a good suggestion on how to fix it. Sorry.

"Reach Out Our Hands" is a really great Perk, but you should probably limit it to finding new ways to use powers you already have, instead of manifesting brand new ones. The way it's worded now gives people free range to make up pretty much anything. The temporary power-up while protecting others or near death is a good base though.

I know what you're going for with that last perk, but unless you slap some harsh limitations on it, people are going to rag on you for perks like this. It's just too much for a single capstone perk.

>>51813430
It depends on what's happening and what is needed at the moment, but I'll usually swap back and forth a few times a week. After spending most of ten years in Ranma 1/2 switching genders every time I so much as touched cold water, I lost the fear I had of the whole affair.

I tend to stick to male primarily, but I'm not married to it as strongly as I was before. And once you've been a dragon, well, the soul starts to become more important than the form.

>>51813362
>Anthropic Universe
Uh... Wow. This seems way too much for something in a Call of Duty world, especially when further boosted by capstones. I mean, causality manipulation/outright reality warping on this scale blows the other perks right out of the water.

>>51813535
Frankly, it seems like most of the issues surround the Kryptonian race - might just remove them and the Martians altogether.

>>51813534
I gave him a clue as to how to sort out his problem. His face-palm when he figured it out two days later was all kinds of epic.

>>51813532
Okay then thanks for the critic.

>>51813536
>I'm not really certain "We Cannot Change the Past" is worth 400 the way it stands.
Okay then I'll work on it.

>Unfortunately, I don't really have a good suggestion on how to fix it. Sorry.
Thanks for trying though.

>"Reach Out Our Hands"
Let's see what I can put together then. Thanks for the critic.

>>51813548
It's not really any different than how Genre Shift from Evangelion is treated.

So Arpeggio anon can we get a canon companion purchase option?

>>51813548
I disagree. It's a setting tone adjuster perk, it might be objectively vast in scale but doesn't have enough selectivity for it to really have a huge amount of utility. It's really just a dial with settings for "more darker" and "less sadder", trying to do anything else with it is outside its scope.

>>51813593
The ability to make any setting far less dangerous seems plenty useful to me. Get the best version of the perk and turn all the high power jumps into total comedies to remove a lot of the danger in them.

>>51813548
The story of the campaign is basically about the war between a straight good and a straight evil faction, but they threw a bunch of depressing tropes about war in. I wanted the fact that Reyes is basically trying running directly against the tone of the setting to be reflected by that.

Key word is 'trying', though. At the end of the day, the base perk is at best a nudge, and with boosters more of a tilt on the original setting. That's why I generally kept to repeating 'shift' instead of outright 'change' for things. Although now that you mention it, the Mars booster for it has a bit more forceful wording than I really intended. Maybe toning that one down is in order?

>>51813590
I think he has said that you can get canon boatfus for the mental model option if you want them anon, not sure about humans though.

>Turn them into comedies to remove a lot of the danger in them
>Turn them into comedies

>>51813642
I might get hurt but it's a light hearted comedy, so I'll survive and everything will be right as rain in the end.

>>51813624
You ever read a gag manga before? Comedy doesn't mean less dangerous, it just means it's funny when people get kicked to the moon.

>>51813624
I guess I'm reading it differently than you are, then. To me, there's no reason that a comedy can't be super dangerous, and since it doesn't say that it would change the danger level of a setting I interpret that as meaning the comedy version would be. All sorts of dark humor where death is the punchline and stuff like that, you'd just be getting a laugh out of it. Perhaps that's not the case, though, let's ask the author. Author? >>51813635

>>51813635
But you outright say 'change' for the best version of it.

>>51813556
Hmm. ... well you're not wrong. Supes, Kara, Lobo, J'onn, Diana, etc - it's hard to balance special snowflakes.

Could it be tackled by having the races cheap/free and instead giving them a discount on the appropriate powers? Sorta the reverse of how it is now?

I'd also avoid mentioning specific numbers in the powers. It's not like comic writers bother with consistency anyway.

>>51813668
No, then you'll just have idiots screaming about unfair it is that they're not also getting the powers for free since the races should have them automatically.

>>51813656
I mean, it depends on the comedy. There are a few where you could get killed off for the sake of a joke. You don't have the same guarantee of survival.

>>51813624
Remove danger? No, it's not supposed to be for changing what the setting is. You wouldn't get... say, Text To Speech Device if you shifted 40k more towards a comedy... it'd still be 40k, something that is incredibly dangerous.

This is what I meant by the 'tilt' stuff up above. Let's say you did, in fact tilt 40k towards comedy. At best what you'd get is people generally being a bit more upbeat and funny, but remember that comedy can come in really fucked up brands like black comed- actually this guy got it pretty well. >>51813658

>>51813667
You're right, I did say that! But read the line and I'll explain why I used 'change' there.

>Instead of simply being able to shift the tone higher and lower, the influence you exert has expanded to the point that entire genres can be delicately shifted and changed over.

I used 'changed' because I was referring changing the setting more towards different genres instead of the idealism vs. cynicism scale. Although... you do have a point, it doesn't read as light as I wanted it to be, it does sound pretty absolute. Revision in order?

1B, 486x500px

I'd like this to be the final draft. I've removed the Kryptonians and Martian races because they pretty much were only skub.

Y'know, it's fitting that on the first day I tune into the thread in 2 months that I should cause something like this.

>>51813668
But then the question is "YOU DIDN'T LIST X POWER

Well they don't show that power in Injustice

THERE'S NO REASON TO BELIEVE THEY DON'T HAVE IT"

I'm all for wank, but wank in moderation.

>>51813678
>>51813700

Point.

Heh. Kinda ironic anyway since the video game deliberately put in the super-pills as a way of leveling the playing field so that players of the game had to rely on skill rather than 'muh power levels'.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

But in all seriousness I suppose it's not so bad. At least there are superman pills to even it out.

>>51813700
Well shit, no hope of a Martian waifu now. I hope you'll consider updating this when Injustice 2 and its comics come out. Supergirl waifu.

>>51813700
Yeah, it's probably for the best.

Retrying Nightmare City Perks!

We Cannot Change the Past [400]: The past is immutable to those of this world so you must learn to accept deal with the present no matter how ugly it’s face. Overcoming a perilous situation and ending in triumph is always the path you should seek but reflecting on the past allows you to objectively take in both failure and victory so to make you stronger. Should you take time to reflect on something you had trouble with you’ll be able to create counters for that situation so that if you ever encountered that situation again you would be able to make the result favor you more than the last time. The closer to the original situation that the new one is the greater the plan’s effectiveness, however differences dosen’t exactly hinder the plan as long as the situation is similar enough to count.

Reach Out Our Hands [600]: The future is yours to create. Moments come when you are faced with the threat to all that you hold dear. This power allows you to, in moments of dire need when you or a loved one is threatened with death or worse, to gain a powerful boost that could, if used correctly, turn the tables. This boost is temporary but always leaves you slightly better off than before it activated, usually by leaving you not on the edge of death.

How're these? Reach Out Our Hands feels a little weak compared to Obey Me or Defy Me now but I don't know what to do about it.

>>51813477
Either one.

>>51813700
Honestly you could still offer Martian & Kryptonians. Instead of 1000cp, I'd go 1200cp with discount. Or just go straight. 1000 or 800 with no discount.

>>51813754
Maybe a slight boost to physical or mental attributes? We already have a few perks like that, it's still worthwhile, and it doesn't run into the same issues as creating infinite OC powers.

>>51813731
I hope you remember that my attitude towards Kryptonians was, from the very beginning of this, that I didn't want to risk an OTB and that comics being what they were, no price would be high enough. This thread and the last prooved that.

>>51813751
I plan to. Not sure what they plan on doing with that, though - if they plan on having new factions emerge from the sidelines, or if they have the existing ones be broken and reformed. The second would make it largely incompatible with the jumpchain structure.

>>51813768
But as the other anon showed, it could well be a 3000 CP value. And when you consider that Superman was shown going full ZA WARUDO timestop, the potential for wank is... nasty. And not in a good way.

If there are no more objections, I'll probably upload this as soon as Brutus unlocks that. Tomorrow I'd like to get the Crusader Kings jump up as well, and after that - well, if no one else has claimed Ride to Hell: Retribution I would like to do that.

>>51813473
I don't think the old CoD jump was based off of anything specific was it? Then again it's not like we have a Spec Ops or a The Division jump either.

>>51813754
There was no need to remove the full healt or temporary new powers bit. The only problem was gaining those powers permanently.

>>51813788
>>51813754
Erm, that said, clarifying that these powers are mid level and will always be combat related stuff would be for the best.

>>51813785
Then can we have a male Amazon? Atlanteans aren't as strong.

>>51813700
How do you know what powers you get if you pick a race like czarnian?

>>51813811
Yup.

>>51813813
Extreme strength, enhanced durability, extreme regen.

>>51813813
Super strength, durability, and regeneration. It is Lobo anon.

>>51813536
Thank you I am glad you liked it. I tried very hard to give Karen a good ending she deserved it after all that. Hopefully I gave her a good enough send off. I certainly enjoyed writing up her chain.

>>51813813
>Czarnian-800 CP (Discount Drop-in): An alien race thought to be extinct after one of its members, Lobo, killed off nearly all others within it. Members of this race are well-known for their strength and durability, as well as their extreme regenerative abilities – with more mature members being able to regenerate fully from a single drop of blood, and topple skyscrapers with a backhand.

Anon it's literally in the race description.

>>51813700
>>51813717
>>51813731
On that note, can someone point me to anything that describes the differences between the temporary and permanent versions of the pill?

>>51813772
>>51813788
>>51813796
Thanks for the ideas. So, I take it that We Cannot Change the Past is good now at least?

How about this?

Reach Out Our Hands [600]: The future is yours to create. Moments come when you are faced with the threat to all that you hold dear. This power allows you to, in moments of dire need when you or a loved one is threatened with death or worse, to gain a powerful boost that could, if used correctly, turn the tables. This boost is temporary but always leaves you slightly better off than before it activated, reflected in anything from a full heal to a slight improvement to your mind or body. The powers temporarily gained during this boost are always appropriate for the battlefield at hand.

>>51813866
Hey man, reading is hard.

>>51813892
Probably best to replace a slight improvement to mind or body with explaining the sorts of powers you can get and their strength level, since you seem to have gone with it granting temporary powers in the last sentence.

>>51813880
Pretty sure there's no permanent version without jumper shenanigans.

>>51813880
The temporary version is temporary, the permanent version is permanent.

They both amplify human strength and durability by several thousand percent.

The comics were rather inconsistent on whether it was that Superman's pills were permenant and the insurgency's were temporary, or whether they were all temporary. Going by the former description, Alfred took a regime pill and you get insurgency pills for the item. If we do the latter... well then, Alfred is the one exception. Jumpmaker decision here.

>>51813838
So uh question about the Motherbox item.
Does it assume that there will always be a fuckton of very similar universes to go to in any setting or does a setting take primacy and override that if it already has multiversal travel?

>>51813838
Can we choose the main universe version of the characters if we buy them instead of the evil ones? I would prefer to waifu the not batshit version of Wonder Woman.

>>51813925
>Does it assume that there will always be a fuckton of very similar universes to go to in any setting

>>51813934
No. The focus is on the characters of this universe because they're what make the universe unique.

Also, you have shit taste. Injustice WW is a perfect goddess of war and death.

>>51813936
Can the jump's mother box open portals to locations in the same universe? e.g if I want to get to Europe from America or to Oa from Earth?

>>51813937
That...still doesn't really make sense? If you don't mean to have the perk give even temporary powers, you should probably remove the last line. If you do mean to, you need to give more detail on those powers.

>>51813952
Yes but it's imprecise in doing that. I'll add that in.

Off to sleep for now, should be back to answer anything else tomorrow afternoon. Feel free to leave posts here, I'll respond to them all.

Why is it imprecise?

Okay then. Thanks for the critique.

This boost is temporary but always leaves you slightly better off than before it activated, reflected in anything from a full heal to a slight improvement to your mental or physical abilities. The powers temporarily gained during this boost are always a boost to one’s general combat ability and the ability to manifest a personal scale weapon of your choice.

How about this?

>>51813700
Since we aren't as strong as regular Doomsday for some reason, can we be more handsome?

>>51814034
Well, I guess you did follow my feedback. Seems good with that anon, I wish you good luck on the rest of the jump too.

>>51813700
Please forgive me if this has been asked before or is a dumb question but for powers do you have to purchase the enhanced version of an ability to take the extreme version (like durability)? If not what happens if you take both?

>>51813700
...Why is all the shit I want 600 or more, and none of it to the same origin?

Bah. Time to abuse companions.

>>51813949

>Wanting Injustice Superman's sloppy seconds

>>51814007
RL answer is so there's still a need for the characters to travel through the portals rather than simply asking the box "open a portal so I can reach through and grab the maguffin" or "open a portal to bisect my enemy's torso", etc.

>>51814109
Don't know what happens if you buy both (I guess they'd stack), but last thread Cenanon said you don't have to buy one to get the other.

>>51814178
Really? Thought that was because Cyborg is the only one who has one and the nature of the tubes make them ill suited for use as a weapon.

>>51814168
>implying Kal will ever get over Lois long enough to remember that WW is top-heavy

>>51814218
That'd be the IC reason, not the RL reason.

>>51814234

I'm pretty sure Regime Superman canonically fucked Wonder Woman. She got him on the rebound but he was barely into the relationship.

Or I might be remembering wrong.

So let me get this straight. Somehow, the DOMINANT political ideology of the Martian colonists turns out to be effectively identical to that of North Korea. And the original governing body is fast on its' way to becoming just as bad. And humans in this reality have Cell-like regeneration powers.

...I had to sit down and look at my "genocide against a harmless species is wrong!! Be the change you want to see!!!!" motivational Hallmark cards for a while before coming up with what to do next.

In the end, temperance wins over valor. I still decree they must be disciplined: Mechanical angels erupt from the far side of the sun to smite their satellites with swords of plasma. A lesser Horrorterror's glubbing changes the taste of water to that of orange juice mixed with toothpaste. Several planets spontaneously develop sentience and start denouncing the faction leaders.

But my fetich's miracle-heartbeat leaves but two changes: The first, a tissue box-sized aentropic mass-energy converter on every doorstep.

The second, the transformation of every single weapon into a nerf gun or bat.

Enjoy your infinite nerf war.

Oh hey, another war. And it seems the kingdom is threatened by...a little girl, this time. I mean, to be fair i've seen some frightening little girls back in the day.

The thought occurs-If multiverse theory is apparently applicable to the Fire Emblem universe, does that mean that by overcharging the summoning gun I can draw out different versions of the same hero from different points of the same line, or even almost-identical timelines? We won't find out unless we load it with dragonballs and HSDW, that's for sure.

The joy of infinite Tharjas aside, that in turn implies there might be something like the tachyon at work in this world's magic.

I must study this! To do that, I should look at how life interacts with magic at its' most basic level. I'll have to create some sort of infant domain. Some sort of newborn demiplane. Dare I say it, a baby dimension

You go too far this time Man of the Spiral

Hero for Glory 200
A young man who has yet to prove himself in battle. He is well liked in his home city and seen as the strongest of the young men there. As a child he was sent to Chiron to receive tutoring in the ways of the Greeks and the art of war. Now seeking glory he has gone forth from his teacher to find adventure. He feels a strong attraction to you and will follow your journey seeking glory from it.

He begins with From Zero to Hero, A True Labor, and Quest of the Gods as well as all the abilities natural to the Hero background. He also has Hoplite’s Equipment and a Divine Chariot.

For 200 CP you may upgrade this Hero into a Demigod granting him all appropriate abilities along with Strength of Heracles and give him a Lion’s Pelt.

Nightmare City Jump Next origin!

Lost:
This Life is a No Exit Labyrinth [100]: You have taken on the form of the oppressed and become a cat-person yourself, so suppressed are you that few can tell if you are even human or AI. This will allow you to slide under the view of most oppressors as just another part of the masses but it does lower the level of power you can output whilst granting you a boost to the ability to hide from those who seek you out.

The Hands of Time Keep Ticking Away [200]: Time seems to have lost all meaning in this world. One event always seems to follow the others but it is quite obvious that time is going by just that the faceless masses don’t seem to note it. You have the ability to ‘skip’ the parts of an action that are too boring to do yourself and for a loss of ingenuity you will ‘skip’ through the action, retaining only a general information about what happened. If you are interrupted during the skip you’ll be dragged out of your ‘skip’ and you can set other things that can pull you out of a ‘skip’, such as ‘when the alarm goes off’ or ‘my companions enter the room’.

Diesen Liebe Der Welt [400]: This world was made for a reason now forgotten but you have touched something near its inner nature allowing you to just have a mundane weapon on hand. It’s personal scale only but anything from a metal pipe to a freaking Bazooka could be found. The rarer the item the more time it will take to search for it but with this if it is a mundane item you’ll find one sooner or later.


Field too large. Continuing on the next post.

>>51814567
Open the Gate of Hope [600]: Sometimes it is easier to pass the torch, sometimes the value of even one life is great enough to you to mean risking your own life, and sometimes those who witness such an event feel the passage of flame and add a little of their own warmth to the blaze. You can save another from being slain at the cost of sealing all of your powers for a while. The person saved gains a proportional boost in their physical and mental abilities as well as the ability to manifest a personal scale weapon of their choice. People within a citywide area of this event can feel this power being used and can chose to pass a spark of their own strength down to the target of this ability. One lone spark atop your inferno might not be much but when all the hopes of an entire people come spilling forth this can even go beyond even your own donation. Whilst sealed you are a voice in the mind of the target and can present yourself to them as a vision if you so wish. You only regain true form if and/or when the event you saved them from is completely resolved, returning all power back to it's original owners.

Sometimes jumps are really hard to build for. And then sometimes, like this one, they're super easy.
Anyway, I have a Yellow Lantern Ring now! That makes two rings! One violet, one yellow. Now if I can just get green, I can make my own Mardi Gras!
Though, on that note, I'm not sure what the background here is. Apparently I'm already part of the Regime, but I'm also part of the Yellow Lantern Corps? Are they already part of the Regime, or does that come later?
Maybe I'm, like, an advance scout who joined up with Superman or something, and Sinestro will come in later. Maybe this will spare him getting slammed into the moon.
I dunno.

Anyway, the job here is simple. I'm just gonna tow the line. Survive. Hang around in back, maybe try to rebuild the parts of Earth that got exploded.
Because I'm secretly way more into Batman. I'm more for the insurgents. But I'm not fighting Superman.

And sometimes the easiest way to fuck up someone's day is to take a certain drawback and become their friend.

NO SUPERMAN just because the Daily Bugle printed Lois' obituary in the wrong font doesn't mean you should toss them into the sea! That's where we're bulding the death rays! Kat, take that lunatic to SUPERJAIL!

WHAT THE FUCK RAVEN why would you induct Trigon as a member of the Regime. You do realise he's literally trying to destroy Earth, right? Avacyn, please stop him from eating the other recruits.

WONDER WOMAN STOP a rude post on Tumblr is not a valid reason to hire Lobo to kill some shitposter! That's Arfoire's department!

...

...it takes a week of temper tantrums, angsty backstories, NAAARGHS and general mass bipolar disorder for me to give up on the Regime as a lost cause, start shouting Correspondence until everyone sat down to listen and then patiently start teaching grown superheroes (and one 5th dimensional imp) how to behave like adults. In at least one case, BANE, including proper table manners. WE DO NOT WEAR MASKS AT THE DINING TABLE, YOUNG MAN. It took a lot of strongarming, but I'd FINALLY got a semi-functional new world order running.

...

...and then the Insurgency showed up.

And an escalating series of events starting from Batman stubbing his toe led to Australia being vaporised.

Just going out on a limb and thinking no one really cares right now, but I'll keep on trucking!

Troubleshooter:
Oh I Am a Hypocrite [100]: Troubleshooters have been hinted at being Humans who have completely turned to the Central AI. This rumor may not be wrong or it may be off the mark but all who see the Troubleshooters know to stay away from them, for IF they did sacrifice their own race to the Central AI then why would anyone want to be around them now? Intimidating rumors about you spread far and wide seemingly for no reason and you carry an air of menace that can’t really be thrown off by the average will.

Oh I Have Nothing [200]: You have no eyes, for those would be windows into a soul you no longer have. Where you once had eyes you now have black voids, empty void of soul and emotion. Aside from this aesthetic aspect, which you can turn on or off at will, you have the ability to ignore your emotions and make logical choices in spite of what your emotions would rather you do.

I Want to Be Mighty, Yeah [400]: Strong enough to punch a person through a building, fast enough to keep up with a motorcycle in a foot race while jumping from building to building, and tough enough to take an RPG to the face and only be knocked out. The Troubleshooters were formed by the Central AI to fight against the canny humans who tried to buck the control of this world. To do this the Troubleshooters have become mighty beings equal to entire groups of desperate humans.

Field too long. Continued in next post.

Minor update.
v2.0.1 – minor spelling corrections. Clarified buying canon companions. Changed the “A Human Unit” companion option. Clarified replenishing on nanomaterials at the Hidden Base.

>>51813590
I've put in the jump: you can use the options in the jump to take canon companions by buying the appropriate option.
For example you could have Takao as your ship by buying the I Am Your Ship option, or if you were a mental model as well, the Sister Ship option.
Or buy Takao without her ship as a Co-Processor.
For humans, just buy the right background (Maki is a Crewman Design Child, Gunzo is a Captain, Shizuma is a Crewman, etc.).

>Do things like Nano Machinces and such resupply on the Island?
Like the other items, expended nanomaterials resupply on the island weekly. Clarified.

>The Prinnies have robo-maid assistants.
I'm legitimately not sure if this is an excellent idea or a terrible idea.

>In Otoyomegatari, do imported companions get the 100 CP items for their origin/background for free, or merely discounted?
Free as in beer.

>>51815049
And here we are the last of the Perks!

Infinite Blade Penetrate [600]: Beyond even the kindred spirits of the Troubleshooters is you and one other. You who are one of the individuals that carries the red swords that devastate. By design you have been created to take out those few monstrous humans who for one reason or another develope powers beyond their kin. These individuals seem cloaked in probability altering properties and chance power ups when pushed to their limits they just seem to dig a little deeper and open new paths of power. This ridiculous trait is negated by your power, handed down by the Central AI, which allows all of your attacks to act as if things like chance, fate, and even the flow of probability were the same as a normal person. To those who bear the crimson sword all are equal and the humans odd effects on the world are just things to bypass.

So um, Breidablik works across jumps, right?

>>51815108
If you just mean through self study coming up with ki stuff doesn't seem too tough. At least not if you're actually capable in the first place.
Getting it the specifics just right like the Kamehameha wave is probably going to take some doing, but if you just want to pull off laserbeams that's ez modo.

As for flight it's extremely commonplace throughout the universe for anyone that can actually use ki.
Seems like the only real prereq for that one is having enough oomph to support your weight and figuring out the trick. Just ask someone that knows how the basics and use them once the jump is over. That'll make things much much easier.

You know what's messed up is, this isn't even the first build I've done this for.
Most memorably offhand, I took a similar set of drawbacks in Boktai, which rendered my side incompetent while granting Django hypercompetence with a bevy of upgrades and superpowers.
I don't mind being the villain if it helps people.

But, I do have to admit, it's still a little sad sometimes.
Because in order for the drawback to work, I can't let anyone know. I can't be nice to Batman, or try to help him from the inside. I have to play my part.
I have to be the villain. The best I can do is be a relatively benign one, who doesn't try too hard.
But I'm still a villain.

Because I'm the hero they need right now, but not the one they deserve. So they'll hunt me. Because I can take it. Because I'm not their hero. I'm a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

I finally decided to look at what this stuff was after seeing these threads for so long, and I'm not sure if I'm just not understanding what this is or if I'm missing something.
I started with the pokemon one since the instructions said to start there, and after going through the character creation I couldn't find where to actually begin. Looking at some of the other chains, I can't tell if I'm just not looking in the right place or if that's really all this is.
Is this just make all the choices, then move on to the next one? The rules and all made me think that this was more than just that.

>>51815200
Not to ruin the moment I guess, but don't you also not mind being the villain if it doesn't help people? Or have I just misinterpreted a huge portion of your chain?

>>51815160
Basically, they're Fog High Flagships. They mount many superheavy weapons, at much higher power than the norm, and possess command authority over the entire Fleet of Fog.
That's like...being able to companion Skynet in the Terminator jump or something? I can't really balance either the ships or their authority when the jump is aimed at the individual scale.

>>51815255
It's an imagination game. The jumps are jsut a framework to get you started.
Make your build and then imagine what happens during your stay. You've got 10 years to do stuff. Make it good.
After that you can keep going if you feel like and see what comes.

>>51815121
You might want to note the drawbacks involved in using a Mirror Ring System. From what I recall those can only be used effectively by the Yamato class ships, otherwise they are debilitating to use and have a long cool down time. Also don't they come standard on battleships in spite of this?

Nano-Companions Son

Traveler Without a Home 200
Ever since their childhood this young one has moved from place to place as if they were a grain blown by the winds. They have nowhere to truly call home always pulled away from the places they rest by some thing or another. The one and only constant of their life is that it is filled with adventure and fine friends. They have learned many skills over their years of travelling, ranging from combat and hunting to burglary to singing, but never truly mastered any. While their deeds to date have not been so great as to be sung of in legends they have a mind sharp enough to cut through any steel and loyalty to their friends which even the gods could not break. Perhaps following you gives them purpose or a tether even their wanderlust will not break or perhaps they simply wish to follow you to new worlds entirely. Whatever the case they will follow you wherever you are going.

They begin with Xenia, Trojan Equine Knowledge, and Blessing of Hygieia as well as all the skill and strength you could expect from someone who has been on a few adventures grand enough to receive minor gifts from the gods. They also have a Cornucopia and a perfect copy of Hermes Sandals.

For 200 CP you may make them a child of Boreas, God of the North Wind and Bringer of Winter. From this they will gain all the abilities of a demigod and Walker of Worlds. They will also have a golden apple gained during one of their adventures. While Boreas does not know they are his child he still favors them as he knew their mother was one of his lovers keeping the chilling bite of winter from them and their friends while blowing harsh cold winds on their enemies.

I like being the villain for fun, sure. Villains get all the best lines, cool costumes, etc, etc.

But, I think, with the exception of moments where I was being really edgy -- which is usually a direct result of landing in really edgy settings or loading up on drawbacks that I shouldn't be loading up on -- I usually prefer to be a relatively benign villain. Like, around Eggman levels. Which can be threatening, and shouldn't be dismissed entirely, but is also... y'know, Eggman levels. Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain.
I don't wanna Darkseid. I wanna be Skeletor.
I actually hold back, like, a LOT. All the time. And I purposefully keep my minions on the lower end of the power spectrum, and their orders usually amount to, "Hold this position indefinitely, because it makes this little mini-fortress I built look cooler if it has guards in it."
This is fun for me. This is a game. And I only really stop playing when the heroes or other villains start taking things way more seriously than is warranted. Basically when people go from Superman:TAS to... Injustice.

So, yeah, I like being a villain, but I mostly like being a harmless, quirky villain who sings and dances.
Here, I have to pretend to NOT be harmless, and Superman would probably frown on me doing a musical number. It's not really the same. It's not really as fun.
But I'm okay with it, because I can help Batman!

They'd break through the exterior structure, but the interior space would be fine. The interior space would be visible through the hole they made though.

>What, like building them inside of each other? I'm going to say no on that one.

It's...not really that straightforward. In the manga, U-2501 uses it against Takao, and it doesn't even have a mental model. It's also less than half the size of Hiei, who uses it in the anime with assistance from some Nagara-class cruisers.
So I'm just going to leave it firmly in "fanwank" territory.

>>51815480
Since Takao class heavy cruiser is the smallest ship mentioned in the heavy category does that meant that regular cruisers and below are possible for Light Fleet of Fog Vessel option?

>>51815480
U-2501 can make one, she's just been forbidden by her captain to form it because of the process power it would take up.

>>51816101
Are you sure that from Blame!, I thought it was from SAO.

And reptiles that have penises retract them inside the body, that's the joke.

Also can you just imagine some large reptile, like a dragon or dinosaur with human external junk. It would either be terrifying or comical, depending on setting and proportions.

>>51816164
>Are you sure that from Blame!, I thought it was from SAO.

there is one in both of them. The one in blame is more free-form , but it doesn't come with an ALT form.

So, wait, going by the Enhanced Tactical Humanoid, 3rd Revision capstone boosts, the first turns me into a C-12 tank, and the second turns me into a (lower performance individually) squad of bots.

So, since they stack, taking both of them means I'm a squad of (lower performance individually) C-12 tanks?

Why would I use the combined capstone boost options then? Is the squad of RC-8s better than a squad of C-12s (the C-12s look more intimidating, googling them)?

And the other option, trading 5 out of 6 C-12s for a single ETH.3n unit seems... eh? I guess it helps with human interaction?


Am I missing something here? If this isn't obvious, I've never touched any CoD game, let alone this one. So I have no idea what's going on.

>>51816886
Don't worry, the Luggage is supposed to be terrifying. It's a living piece of storage that hungers to add things to its collection, hates all life, and is immune to magic. Its one redeeming property is that it's actually quite protective of and affectionate to its owner. But considering that it can follow you literally anywhere, even to other dimensions, having it like you really isn't that useful. It just means your life will be forever plagued by this chest monster wandering around and eating people when you're not looking.

>>51816954
No, I mean the fact that it has legs.
Human-ish legs.

That's creepy as fuck. They should be like spider legs or something.

>>51816987
Yeah, like I said, it's supposed to be terrifying. Having human legs is the point. Don't worry, they're probably made of painted wood and not stolen from the people it eats. Probably.

Er, hard to say. From what little I know of Drifa, I'd tentatively say he's physically much tougher and much more resistant to magic, but lacks esoteric abilities beyond the ice breath thing. Basically you're fighting the Godzilla from the newest movie, but icy instead of fiery.

Um. I'm less sure about the others. I'd imagine the ones of 2 would be roughly Greater Daemon-level considering Drifa's supposed to be a superweapon.

As for part 3, well-you're up against a hellgoddess which I gather is somewhere around the high-Olympian benchmark based on what little I've gleaned from the wiki. The Riders are individually less powerful than the gods but have greater esoteric abilities; one of them straight up kills most of the units in the game with its' presence just by appearing from what I remember. And I remember Babs said the Avatar of Wrath (given a quote and backstory belonging to one of the other Riders for some reason) is stronger than a god.

Finally, apparently two or three of the bosses in the DLC are Eldrazi Titans while some of the others are beefed up Dominions 3 monsters. I asked him about Umor specifically, and he said the thing eventually grows in size by lightyears and annihilates the reality around it.

Ironically it would be a good idea to just steal the sword mentioned by the DLC early on, since the gods' (actually archangels) oaths on it mean it can instantly slay any god that breaches the neutrality pact i.e. the one it part 3, and probably deal grievous damage to Drifa since he's Mulcarn's avatar.

Can I ask the thread a question?

If a jump does not explicitly say one way or the other, is it reasonable to assume that companions can take drawbacks, or not? I suppose I'm just asking what the default position is.

Wow. The old place really has changed.

I'm not gonna lie: It's kind of unnerving watching some of the most powerful fighters I've ever met yucking it up as mere mortals.

It's gonna take a loooong time to bring them all back up to speed. The other fighters too-Bison's NOTHING compared to what's coming.

I'd meant to catch up sooner, but I've been tied up founding a benevolent version of Umbrella Corporation. The current plan is to lace trace amounts of golden mantra into the sports drink Hetap, which I'll be promoting at a company sponsored world tournament. At least one fighter's already volunteered for the position of company mascot!

There he is. We fought together, once. One of the few men in all the multiverse I respect and fear in equal measure.

Massive Mantra signature inbound. Protect the assets. Initialising mass unit perfect defences.

"HEY! Who're you?! Get away from my wife and daughter!"

"Trust me, I'm a fate ninja doctor! Listen-even if you stop that thing, its' heat will sear the surface of the Earth!"

"How do you-FUCK. Then-what, how should-"

"I GOT THIS! Go, punch the thing! You CAN punch the thing! Are you gonna let that faggot meteor threaten your family?!"

"RAAAGH!"

The thing shatters. Somewhere within it, I see him fighting something red crusted with gold, and furious. And winning.

I take it back. This is just like old times.

>>51817416
I never did get why people thought they were supposed to be unbeatable anyway. Even back then there were plenty of things that could fight on their level. One of the most powerful rituals in the game is an inferior version of the Darkhallow, for example.

>I never did get why people thought they were supposed to be unbeatable anyway.
A very long time ago, people asked the maker the same question, and the maker's response was that while the normal part of the jump was basically a jump as is, the last DLC was more of a statement against the idea of jumpers being able to do anything anytime anywhere. This didn't sit well with people in IRC when it was brought up, and the thread didn't take well to it either, but the jumpmaker's official stance never changed. Back in the day you never had people as zealous in crusading against a jump, to the point that what happened to LoT was mostly an anomaly, and then really, nobody bothered to discuss much of Age of Ice - it's like LoT's forgotten little brother for the most part. The two factors combined with the jumpmaker leaving basically meant that the jumpmaker's "ruling" is up in the air.

It's especially hard to reconcile for me because I specifically went and asked him about Umor's combat stats, and after I posted my build for the DLC he never said anything to the effect of me autolosing or anything like that. Honestly apart from that he seemed pretty chill to me, we had some fun bant about christmasfying the Shadow Battlecrab and brainstorming the Lost Valley jump.

I am aware about the other argument he was involved in though.

That's part of the problem behind it, because it happened so long ago, the exact time frame of when the first note of this ruling came up is extremely vague. If it happened after people started bringing up LoT as a "trap", then in all likelihood it was something that happened on the chat, and only blew up when another anon asked a question afterwards. With the jumpmaker gone, there's no way now to either confirm or deny it, but it won't stop plenty of folks from bringing it up, and the jumpmaker's change in mindset following what happened with LoT does make the idea of the ruling a plausibility. It's why all in all it's one of those things that's become an obscure "relic" as it were.

I feel upset since the only thing keeping me from making a proper main chain is my own delay in finishing up Heisei.

Speak of, I've been binging Blade, Den-O and company and had an idea for an OC Driver. How feel about a Driver that lets you merge/be possessed by companions and gain a form with some of their abilities/properties while doing so? Based off of the Den-O driver's gimmick, of course. In case it needs to be said, in both cases, you have an 'emergency off' switch for those iffy about possession. It's kind of the whole gimmick, though.

A lot of the major shitstorms that happen tend to happen when the thread is most active, during peak hours in NA time zones, which is probably just to be expected. Sure, you get some folks who like to try and provoke things at odd hours, but we were always consistently quieter during the "night" cycle. The fact that you were on the opposite side of the Earth to that and you weren't really active on IRC for the most part kind of shielded you from most of it.

Heck, when I'm not lurking about, now that I don't bother going on IRC, I haven't had to encounter shitstorms much at all. The thread is nice and chill at this time of the day, even though it's basically midnight now.

Aren't they supposedly a civilization based on fighting and military discipline? Everyone is a warrior and they call others 'more violent'?

>>51818291
It's about controlling your violence. But yeah Amazons don't make much sense, like everything else in comics.

>>51818291
Exactly, military discipline. They don't want those savage and brutish men. Only a woman can really attain the focus needed to master the fighting arts, or so the Themiscyran party line goes. In practice they're actually fine with most of the male fighters they've met, but hold that they're the exception rather than the rule.

>>51818276
Wonderwoman in many of her backstories wasn't made from traditional procreation. She's formed by the gods from clay and given to the queen as a daughter, and a magical paragon of humanity in the physical department at that. I think in others she's the daughter of the queen and a god, and since Amazons are extremely pious and continue to worship (or at least acknowledge) the old greek gods they were cool with it.

Superboy is basically a Superman clone mixed with some other things. He doesn't actually have the classic Kryptonian Powerset because of that but. . .some sort of tactile telekinesis I believe? I think it was a form of telekinesis that allowed him to manipulate things he was touching, which sounds dumb, until you realize it gave him stuff like super strength, allowed him to fly and do complex actions at a touch like pick a lock by poking it and feeling around with his mind.

>>51818316

Nope. He's Lois' son. The Superman you see there isn't the same Superman in New 52. Rebirth is all kinds of crazy, but crazy good.

The Supes that was banging WW, eventually lost most his powers. Then died. His powers were transferred to some Chinese dude. While Pre-Flashpoint Superman had a son, was actually retired & went into farming.

Thanks to a motherbox, Lex Luthor has a suit of armor that allows him to live out his fantasy. Being Superman.

What the fuck comic book writers. Is everyone drinking from a wellspring of retard or something?

>>51818482
Seeing heroes as exceptions instead of the norm seems like a fairly logical decisions though, since at the core of their concept they're all around "more" than most people. I mean there's a bunch of villains who are absolute dicks and prove their points really well. It's still a dumb outlook since man or woman you're human and have pretty much all the same desires and potential, but that part of their argument holds up. "These men are cool, but they're also completely different than most men. These are exceptions."

Yes & no. Clark Kent is still around in ReBirth, he has a son & married Lois Lane. Lex Luthor also started calling himself Superman. Then there's New 52 Supes who died & transferred Superman like powers to the Chinese Superman.

Its very confusing but ReBirth basically said that New 52 was an "experiment" by Doctor Manhattan who's ascended to a plane of existence that he can casually manipulate the timestream.

>>51819276
so no using them in part 1, but possible acquisition for use in part 2? what with them appearing not to be available(at least for cp) in part 2.

>>51819231
Other than Garlock who's posted builds for DDS part 2 anyway?

>>51819353
Yep.

>>51819377
Well, when you rolled DDS next and part 1 and 2 are one jump. So, I will be. Shortly. Ish.

Working on the DBZ update as we speak.

Demon [400] –
A usually-malevolent race that dwells within the Demon Realm, separate from that of the world of mortals. They are mostly identical to the human races in appearance, save for some pointed ears as well as unusual skin and hair colors. Demons have a natural aptitude towards magic and start at a higher-than-average potential and power for combat and ki use, though actual training will still get you farther than innate ability. It is said that Demons can unlock a greater transformation through absorbing or experiencing a huge amount of negative emotion, such as complete humiliation or rage at a crushing defeat, though this is unusual and incredibly difficult to achieve - even by the standards of other ‘legendary’ transformations. Still, a Demon can dream, right? You start on Earth, either in exile or in a fit of wanderlust.

Age: 20+1d8.

The notes state that the gun can only summon characters appropriate for the setting. During the Fire Emblem Heroes jump it works as normal but then post-jump it works differently as is stated in the description.

So, no it doesn't.

Anyway, now that everyone's calmed down from last night I'll repost the Fire Emblem Heroes WIP.

Some notes: I bolded important parts of the perks to make it easier to find what they do since I worry about bogging down people.

I'm also going to move the fat owl to items and try to make some more items and perks

>>51819653
Wait what? Are demon transformations canon?

>>51819653
Freiza Clan [600] –
Sometimes referred to as ‘Frost Demons’, this mighty alien race is kin to the tyrant Freiza, who controls much of the galaxy with an iron fist. While the Cold Family are mutants who enjoy a huge amount of innate power, you’re not quite at their level to begin with - though you enjoy several benefits to this form. To begin with, while you don’t benefit from something like the Zenkai of Saiyans, your body is durable and even your vital organs become vestigial - you can easily survive and clot wounds as severe as being bisected, though being reduced to tiny chunks can still kill you. You also enjoy a faster growth rate in ki and combat power, even moreso if you train yourself - you can’t lazily breeze through the terrors in this jump by doing nothing, but by applying yourself, you may become a terror all on your own. Finally, as you grow in power, you may create increasingly-weaker ‘forms’ for yourself to both contain and conceal your might, and when the gloves come off and you return to your ‘true form’, your might is terrible indeed. However, this race also suffers from intense stamina troubles when unleashing your true power - unless you properly train, you may find yourself sputtering out into weakness from exerting yourself too much. A surviving adult of your race, you may begin on any planet in the galaxy save for Namek, or at your kinsman Freiza’s headquarters. Be warned that Freiza will be quick to dispose of any threats to his rule, or anyone who is growing too powerful for their own good...even his own kin.

Age: 20+1d8.

APPARENTLY. Honestly, I'm just nodding to its existence. I have no idea how this works beyond this form and how it was obtained. At least this means there's another transformation race on the menu.

Time for a build!

Last time on Restarted Chain!
Jumper went to the world of Spirited Away and ran a hot springs inn for ten years. All the Dolls from Nechonica got the chance to have a semi-normal childhood. They all signed on for an extended tour as a way of saying thank you. Mostly going to stay and run the Hot Springs though.

This time on Restarted Chain!

>"That was rather boring."
Yorokonde: "Since when don't you like Slice of Life?"
>"When you involve that other team of Coordinators, it interferes with my viewing. It's like watching television on satellite. The picture isn't always as clear as it could be and there are periods where I can't see anything at all."
Rip Van Winkle: "They censored the dirty bits on you, didn't they?"

Raven: "That's a yes."

>>51819825
Can we get a Saiyan hybrid option?

>>51819825
>another transformation race on the menu
Because humans need to have it rubbed in their faces that they'll never be relevant.

>>51819653
kewl. looking forward to the return of Dragon Ball posting. all day every day brother!

>>51819796
The army you conjure up with Grunt Creator are constructs with no will or desires of their own that exist only to serve you, right? Just checking before I send them marching off to their deaths.

I'll give it a read-through in a bit before I make any comments.

Our of curiosity, has no drawfag produced a widely accepted portrayal of Jump-chan yet?
Or did I miss that? (Been away for a while)

>>51819825
So if non-Saiyans have xenoverse protag potential, whose potential do Saiyans and these new races have?

>>51819952
You know they love it. Being dominated by a stronger, strapping race fulfills them completely.

They know their places. Under their masters' powerlevels

>>51820047

Broly pls go and stay go

>>51819825
>the demon super form turns you into a stripper
I'm neither surprised nor upset.

>>51820090
To be fair Towa was clearly a stripper already. This transformation simply gave her the power of the Legendary Semen Demon.

>>51819952
Humans in Dragon ball have an odd talent to always be almost relevant. Honestly they would be like the perfect race to make an army out of because they never get stronger than the strongest person around, but they are a hell of a lot closer to Goku than say the Ginyu Force were to Freiza. It's like human power levels are relative to the strongest being they spend any time around.

Story Time!

So I drop into the world as Commander Amarao's younger brother. Which I find all kinds of amusing. I don't even mind all these people comparing me to him. Seeing him leap into the giant robot battles as Kamen Rider Eyebrows is just priceless. Unfortunately, this means Haruko's plans get disrupted more often than not, delaying Naota's growth as well as the end of the series in general. Instead of a few weeks of giant robots and craziness, Mabase City ends up subjected to that insanity for over a year.

As Amarao's younger brother, I frequently get left in charge of the Bureau of Interstellar Immigration's intelligence gather division. He would normally have done this job but he keeps running off to kung-fu punch robots. So it ends up falling to me to pick up the slack. Rip Van Winkle fills in as my Kitsurubami, as the later gets recruited fairly quickly to join in the fighting. I'm not sure how Amarao got his hands on the parts to build the power armor for Kitsurubami, but soon she was out there blasting robots in an junk-mail set of high tech nonsense.

Soon, however, I get the itch in the back of my head that is the Coordinator's way of letting me know that sitting at a desk all day isn't going to fill my entertainment quota. At least he warned me this time. So I ask Raven and Muffet to fill in for me while I hunt down the alien queen bee herself.

Not that it's hard. I step out of a taxi in front of Naota's father's bread shop to find her in the driveway, tinkering on her Vespa with a pile of Gunbam toys lying nearby.

"Hey Alien."
>"Wrong house buster. You want the one down the street. You'll know it when you see the black chitin and chest bursters."
"Ha. Clever. No, seriously, Alien, we need to talk."
>"Like I said, wrong house. We've got a robot, a man-child, a hero, and a grumpy old man here, but no aliens."
"So what are you then?"
>"Me? I'm the maid."

So I reached into Rip Van Winkle's head and pulled out her Guitar.

Is anyone doing Kill Six Billion Demons?

>>51820169
Is that a holocaust documentary?

>>51820077
Wouldn't you want to bed Princes Trunks?

>>51819982
They have to be appropriate for the setting. So if you say, made a pact with Saber in Fate/Zero, you could summon her in other Fate settings with the Gun.

But you couldn't say, summon her in Pokemon Conquest.

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to write a Smallville jump.
Turns out writing is hard. I feel like I have a simple idea in my head, but when I try putting it into words it comes out a horrible cacophony of untreated mental illness and barely repressed sexual frustration. Oh I also have trouble with tone. Like, what's Smallville's tone? Bland soap opera/superhero prequel?

Here's an example of a drawback I tried to write:

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex [+200] For the duration of this jump, you're unable to control your powers and particularly your strength during your more... intimate moments. To put it bluntly, you can't have sex without hurting your special friend badly. Unless you find a superpowered partner who can take what you dish out.

How do I make it readable?

>>51819825

Can Frieza Clan achieve the transformation that Cooler had, which was an actual increase rather than simply hiding his true power behind weaker forms like Frieza did?

What about Golden Frieza?

Jesus, did you guys know theres a Saiyan-Demon Hybrid?

http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Mira

>>51820288
He's also an Android, I think. And yeah, we knew. Him and Mira are the Big Bads of Xenoverse 2 and Dragon Ball Online, though their spot got stolen in Xenoverse 1.

>>51820239
... Kryptonian option?

Also, is Supergirl a thing here? Because that drawback then becomes much less daunting.

>>51820169
I was considering it, actually, but the thing is that the story looks nowhere near complete so we might get a curveball thrown at us.

>>51820239
sorry sorry this is the dragon ball z thread try the smallville thread downtown

If you 1d8 a location and you get a bad one like say imperial down from One Piece, can you then pay the price to pick a new location? or do you have to keep the location if you roll it

>>51820324
Yes and yes.
I have a very badly named "Other Last Child of Krypton" origin that makes you a Kryptonian, but it's gonna be pricey as fuck. Probably the same price as in the Superman:TAS jump.

There is a Kara in Smallville but she looks like pic related. Also sometimes she turns out to have been Brainiac in disguise. Maybe that's your thing tho?

>>51820393
Pay the price to pick a new location.

>>51820393

...That's exactly what the purchase option does, yes

>>51820397
>but she looks like Laura Vandervoort
...Is that supposed to dissuade him?

>>51820239
Familiarize yourself with the lore, the pacing, and the general peaks and lows of the series. You don't need all ten seasons, just enough to draw information from (for yourself) and enough to create a facsimile of immersion (for the reader). Your writing style as it stands is pretty much on par with plenty of jumps, but because what you're presenting is a drawback and not the intro, you need to accept that certain sections of the jump can have concessions made.

Writing a jump isn't that much different from writing a short story, or a longer story, if you're trying to go for immersion, you need to set up the foundation in order to support that immersion, otherwise it all just falls apart. Use the setting to your advantage, and learn to find the pacing of your own writing and control that pacing. Once you have the foundation down you can start working on the next layer up.

>>51820397
Don't make an origin cost more than 300 CP. Don't punish the jumpers. Didn't Supes start out in smallville with little mastery over his powers? Maybe you should have the jumper start out with that kind of mastery.

>>51820239
...That seems a tiny bit too specific?
You may wanna make it something more general. Then again I don't know the setting/show too much.

>>51820441
It's based off of a very famous thing that someone wrote about Supes's dick, Digger.

Rip Van Winkle's guitar proved to be black with red streaks in the paint. Vaguely V-shaped but with jagged edges sticking out in odd places. And the neck of the guitar looked to be the antique flintlock rifle that was her signature weapon, with a fingerboard crudely screwed onto it. The vampire girl's knees gave out and she made vaguely sensual noises as she collapsed.

Haruko had pulled her own Rickenbacker out from somewhere and was aiming the dangerous end of the rifle inside in my direction. With one smooth motion she kicked her Vespa to one side, scattering plastic models everywhere.

>"What are you? You're certainly not an under-evolved monkey."
"I'm just a passer-through. It's my fault Amarao has all those fun new powers. It's my fault all your plans are taking so long. Is it frustrating? Knowing Atomsk's power living in the same house as you, but you just can't reach it?"
>"Why you..."
"Hey hey hey, don't get the wrong idea. I'm here to help. You want Atomsk's power? Let's go get it."
>"You're a nutty little monkey, ain't ya?"
"And you're just itching to see what guitar you can pull out of my head."

And then she smiled a shark-toothed, wildly amused grin, chuckling through her teeth.

>"I have to say, you're much more interesting that Naota."
"That's not hard."
>"So what did you have in mind?"
"Kick Amarao in the face, bring the world to the edge of annihilation, then steal the ultimate thief."

We did the first vigorously, the second carefully, and the third with a Masterball the size of a standard yellow bus.

Of course, that's not all there is to the story. It took nearly another year to reach the point where Atomsk could break free and I used that year wisely. By the end of it, I had convinced Haruko not only that I could offer her more power than even Atomsk, but that it was much more fun to hang around me than chase the Celestial Pirate King across galaxies. Eight years later, Haruko had signed up for a long haul, plus "perks".

>>51820461
Larry Niven, actually. Far sight away from The Mote In God's Eye in terms of seriousness.

>>51820428
Well she's sort of a cheap version of the comics Supergirl. But that's Smallville in a nutshell.
>>51820438
Thank you. That sounds... complicated. I'll try my best. Just be warned my best is still pretty fucking bad.

>>51820440
It comes with all the standard Kryptonian powers, plus a couple of weird ones the show made up. By the end of the series Clark Kent is able to move planets. So I'm definitely making it cost more than 300CP. It's not about punishing anyone, it's just the best thing the setting has to offer. Also the weakness to kryptonites fades once you leave this jump.

>>51820441
I could make it gender neutral? It's a pretty big deal in the protagonist's life actually, he has to wait for his girlfriend to gain temporary superpowers before having fun.

>>51820507
>Larry Niven
If we ever get a Ringworld jump it'll be amusing to share Louis Wu's birthday with him.

>>51820461
Yup. Smallville (the show) is chock full of references and winks to all things Superman so I'm trying to do the same. But if it's making things unclear I might have to stop.
