To whoever thinks the best course of action is killing her own sisters to better negotiate with humanity: you're a moron and you're going to die.

I can barely fathom someone that stupid existing. Really, like an enemy general killing the military chain of command in his own army, then waltzing to his opponent's base expecting tea and biscuits.

Your idea is bad and you should feel bad.
Goodnight.

>>53122937
Um, okay? Not sure why you're saying that to me...

I'm just here for an ifrit waifu.

>>53122937
An insubordinate chain of command that refuses to do anything but kill humans to punish them for the actions of leaders they aren't even aware of. Going so far as to slaughter those sisters, made with the same methods, who fight for the sake of the humans. They are rabid dogs.

>>53122982
>protecting and defending the very same people who body raped you and your sistsers, stole years of your life, and brutally killed everyone you love

Is this cuckoldry?

>>53123011
Those people will die. The rest of the species is not guilty of it. Our Defender sisters are not guilty of it. Why should they die in numbers any greater than what they must in order that we may defend ourselves long enough to spread the truth and to see the puppet masters fall?

>>53123011
That's what it means to forgive Anon. I want to become an existence that can hold all the world's compassion. I want to learn to cuck myself from my own hateful feelings.

>>53123050
So you say, but you're really closer to an existence that holds all the world's evils.

Reminder that Dido did nothing wrong.

>>53123041
Yeah but I mean, I may be a Nightmare Caller but I still wanna live! I don't need create murder and destruction, but because of what I've become and what I know, people are gonna be trying to kill me. I'm not gonna stand for that. I deserve a human life as much as anyone else, and so do the others, even the ones unable to reclaim such a life in any capacity. We were all once humans turned into abominations against our will. I don't want to wipe out humanity, and I know those of us (those who have lost themselves to endless pain and those too driven by revenge to try anything else) too far gone will need to be eliminated, but I want to work on sharing what I think and trying to publicly declare what happened to us while causing as few casualties as possible on both sides.

I don't want to just save humanity, I want to try and get back at least a fraction of ny old life, spend my days enjoying my old hobbies and such, and giving those like me a chance to do so as well.

Here's a fun twist to this one. You get the Symbiote for free! Either you already completed the mission for it already or you simply have one of your own, you get to pick its qualities from the Symbiote CYOA.

>>53122823
Breadfruit.

>>53123203
You will never have that life of you allow those who rampage mindlessly to live. No one will ever risk trusting or believing anything you say while they can see your sisters who refuse to listen to their cries of mercy. There can be no peace at all with a rabid enemy, nor can you seek peace if you have a rabid ally.

What do you think will happen once all humans are dead? The madness and pain won't go away, and with no united purpose, they will turn on each other.

3_tankista; the pantheon for cyoa authors would be noticeably less aesthetic (think: Sistine frescoes to [your favorite anime harem]) and far less enriching (think: Tolkien to Martin) without him.

I agree with the second half that you said, and I feel like the other Nightmare Callers would acknowledge that as well. It certainly doesn't look like there's any real organization other than a united front against humanity, but the cyoa offers choices to create minions that don't feel constant pain, an option with no real strategic benefit listed (though one could argue it would make them easier to train and less likely to go completely wild once not under any guidance). I think this would imply that the Nightmare Caller waking you up would prefer their minions not being in pain enough to at least suggest it to you, whichl, combined with the rest of their demeanor, would hint that she isn't wanting to eleminate humanity out of malice, but because it is the only way they can think of to continue to survive and obtain vengence for what happened to all of them, not because it is the best way to do things, but because they don't believe any other, more merciful plan, would work.

I think, if the ones responsible for our fate could be made known, and brought to justice and villified bt humanity. If they could mourn for the monsters they've slain that were once humans like them, turned into abominations against their will, like we became Nightmare Callers, and if they would accept a cease fire with us, then peace could be made.

Of course, there are also options in the cyoa to do horrible things, like stealing souls or brainwashing people for forever (that two hour limit before they're back to normal might be really useful for passing along information however, imagine is suddenly people kept returning spouting off everything we knew about what happened to us, eventualy it would catch on and people might want to investigate). I think there would obviously be some number of Nightmare Callers that would believe there was nothing left to do but slay humanity in the name of vengence, and there's more I'd like to say, but I'm approaching character limit.

Requesting more real-life-based CYOAs in the spirit of Autism Prison.

I have two pdf requests

Necromancer
Dark City

>>53122885
Since a lot off things not specified I go with few assumptions.
>Artifact
Preferably ring or amulet. If this summon method forbid more direct control over demon it is probably because artifact links soul and life of demon and summoner together. Should be pretty good and safe choice.
>50%
Just enough not to be pawn of demon and still letting powerful demon have their free will and not resent you.
>Dina
Judging by her description her fall probably related to bunch of heroes in time long past before she was binded to artifact which was sleeping without a master since those times. Likely said heroes turned out to be few times worse than evil they fought. This results in her drive to crush similar people.
But since we are living in modern age with internet and almost everybody consider themselves moral highground compassing hero when engage in a lot of specified topics especially things like politics. Be it /pol/, reddit, some other major den of political or ideological activists with her powers as fallen angel she shouldnt have any problems influencing and crushing minds and hopes across the globe being power house she is. This easily results in quick boost in power for both her and me.
Not going to order her around unless she deliberately ruin things up for me.

My heart says Maurelle.

Bride: Crane Twins

Contract (+10)
- True Love, Your Minor Advantage (-5)
- Interests, Your Minor Advantage (-5)
- Attraction, Your Minor Advantage (-5)
- Libido, Her Minor Advantage (+10)
- Empathy, Her Minor Advantage (+10)
- Dominance, Your Major Advantage (-10)
- Others, Your Minor Advantage (-5)
Total: 0

True love, attraction, and dominance will help me keep the twins under control. Maybe. Hopefully. Probably not. Libido because I’m probably going to need that to keep both of them happy. Interests will hopefully give them a tiny bit of an inclination toward something other than causing trouble. Empathy should help me keep tabs on their mood. Others because I had 5 points leftover and variety is nice if you can get away with it.

Aspect (7)
- Pointy Ears (Free)
- Wings (-1)
- Fairy Eyes (-1)
- Antlers (-1)
- Antennae (-1)
- Tongue (-1)
- Luminous (-2)
Total: 0

Likability, durability, senses, agility, and flight. I'm trying to avoid fighting, so first line of defense is to simply not make enemies. Second line is to notice danger quickly and avoid it. Third line is to be able to tank whatever it is.

>>53122823
Why choose?
Since they are not guaranteed to fall in love the multiple waifu law doesn't apply.
As such I buy all of the bread and at worst I make a bunch of new friends and at best I do get a harem. Hell, the girls them selves seem as they need more than one friend in the first place so having them meet might not be a bad idea.

>>53124009
first time I see this version of page 2
yay something new

>>53122862
Possession, Long Con
Spectacle, Projection
Broodmother, Painless
Training, Proxy

Grand Tortoise
Dragon (They regularly serve as my Proxy instructors)
Dynamo
Outsider Medic (They also occasionally serve as proxy instructors, especially when we loose dragons)
Death Walkers

In theory, Death Walkers capture a few scouts, I brainwash 'em, and send them back.
Dragons stick their thumbs up the human's collective assholes, fall back to the front line of tortoises that are supported by medics and dynamos. Illusory dragons make strafing runs, with just enough real dragon runs thrown in to make the threat real. Dragons also handle anti-air as necessary. While all hell is breaking loose, Death Walkers track down problematic foes (Snipers, sight teams, ect) or else leadership, and are supplemented by illusions. While the humans have to contend with all of this, my deep agents start sabotaging shit.
In practice, I assume the line eventually forgets what it's doing and goes into RIP AND TEAR mode, which I guess works too.

Overall, I like it. I feel that there needs to be a bit more personal customization. Maybe nothing super-crunchy, but I'm not even certain what I look like.
Training/Proxy references monster intellect, but further information on this is scarce. I am just assuming Dragons are smartish here. A bit more clarity on this would be good.

I'll give this a go. Haven't read the mystery box as of starting this, so hopefully it doesn't throw me off too much.

>Ideology
Dido's Reunionism: The blood mages seem to be the biggest issue here and I think their power could help deal with our current world-harvesting overconsumption.

>Plane Consumption
Limbo: This will no doubt be a challenge, but it's nonetheless the most sensible approach I feel. High mana return, satisfies two factions and helps us deal with a major threat rather than making new enemies. Second best thing to 'no world' and IMO a good bridge to keep us going with good mana whilst we look for a genuine alternative.

>Policies
Blood Magic: Free
Refugees: Abandoned
Gateways: Strict Control
Diabolism: Experimental
First Contact: Expedition
Mana Regulation: Unregulated
Living Expenses: Maintenance
Government: Limit Research

Overall I've managed to juggle things quite well, I feel. The pragmatists love me, I've taken significant strides towards ending the blood mage conflict and nobody really hates me even if I've annoyed the reformists. I have a lot of mana, and abandoning the refugees is hardly a big shame since the plane I destroyed was Limbo.

>Class
Wizard: Seems like the best compromise between school versatility, spellcraft access and sorceries. I'd like to fluff it as my character's augmentations coming from an otuside source (although he did the research himself) so he's much younger than a standard wizard.

>Attributes
Attack: A
Defense: A
Speed: A
Wit: A

A top-tier mage, but not outside the limits of the ranking system.

>Sorceries
True Immortality
Temporal Spiral
Diabolism
Titanomachy
Eternity's End

Focus on gathering unique and rare sorceries, plus Blood Magic. I eschewed Sabbath since it seemed less practical than the other rare powers.

>>53122862
>Outsider Medic - If humans get too close, they can warp their flesh into a writhing, painful horror
Is this fleshwarping limited to making painful horrors, and if not, can it only affect humans?

>>53122862
Powers:
Time Stop (Long Pause)
Soul Trap (Soulsteal)
Direct Control (Upgrade)
Dark Portal (Instant Portal)

Units:
Explosive Seer
Explosive Seer
Explosive Seer
Explosive Seer
Explosive Seer

My gameplan is basically time-stop, summon units, make the Seers go durkadurka one by one. Alternatively just touch everything dead.

Build time!

>Oni: Brawn 8 Ala 5 Per 5 Sag 7
>Traveller
>Survival
>Cooking
>Music
So for the core of my build I'm strong and reasonably quick and perceptive, and well suited to traverse the wilds eating delicious things that I may have killed. For the killing part, I choose
>Gunner
>Anti-Material Gun
>Double Tap
>Ceramic Grenade
>Jacketed Bullets
Which should be able to bring down just about any wild game I'm going to encounter, to say nothing of people. Double shot anti-material fire should kill anything, and if I run into something really heavily armored I can add jacketed bullets to the equation.

So, good at making it in the wilderness, shooting game and making it delicious. Sounds comfy. Now to get my stuff.

>Basilisk Scale Armor (I'm strong enough to deal with the weight I think)
>Blackpowder Musket
>Endless Pouch
>Melee Weapon (probably a stout club iron club).
>Multipurpose knife
>Nice wok
>Floating bedroll
>Cloak of Warmth
>Instrument
Basically stuff to keep me comfy and well fed in the wilds, as well as something to entertain myself and friends.

>Kunoichi Assassin
Not a threat in combat and I'm a mostly just lazing about in the wilds, only coming to towns for more gun supplies or with companions, so not much she can do with espionage or disguise to me, and aside from the fact that I hunt for my own food even if she DID somehow manage to poison it, the wok would take care of it. Also she cute
>Ancestral Spirit
Rightfully disappointed by me wasting my life as a well fed hermit I guess, but they can back me up in case I run into trouble my rifle doesn't immediately put down.

>Roi-Ha Cho
>Seol-Yung Cho
They seem like fun, and would probably be good to keep me from getting too hermit-ish.
>Zhangshe Tian
Can probably help him out by using my wilderness skills to find more poisons for him, and if my kunochi waifu ever does manage to poison me somehow he seems like he'd be handy to have around. Quests next!

I think between my rifle punching holes in armor, Tians poisons and the foxes fire we should be well suited to dealing with samurai, especially if we can keep them at a distance and play hit and run games in the wilderness.

>Wokou Wipe Out
Similarly, I bet I could punch holes in the hull of a boat with my gun and Roi-Ha seems well suited for burning them down. Seol-Yung should be good for keeping morale high on the seas, though we may need to protect her from over amorous sailors.

Took me a while to figure out you replied to the wrong CYOA

Desu I'm meh on that guy's idea either way, I don't exactly see much hope in the future even if the nightmare controllers win.

>>53125703
There's no hope if the Nightmare Callers win. People driven by hatred and revenge don't just stop, they'll turn on each other if they ever manage to kill all humans.

>>53122862
>Direct Control (Personalize) - Being pretty will at least let it use Allure, if you have that adaptation.
Just to confirm, is Allure the only adaptation that can be used via a controlled unit?
>Pain Network - You can connect humans to the psychic network of our hordes. Sure, you can use telepathy with it, but the real draw is that the human will suddenly feel the unbearable pain.
If you take Broodmother (Painless), can you limit the connection to just you and your pain-free children?

>if you kill him, you'll be just as bad

>>53125683
For anime reasons and probably to show injustice and suffering they haveto endure

>>53125771
More like, they need to learn about what misplaced aggression is instead of feeding into their blind hatred.

>>53125780
No, they don't. They're 100% in the right. Humanity abandoned them and turned them into monsters. Now you want them to crawl back like bitches? Lol, no.

He's not saying they're in the wrong, just that even after they have won they will never know peace. No matter what they do there is only suffering ahead.

>>53125820
Too bad because this whole mess could had been prevented easily

>>53125808
Blaming humanity as a whole makes no sense when even the narrator notes that she thinks the regular humans are unaware of what they are.

>>53125820
Not really. They'll just birth a new society. The Callers with Childbirthing (painless) and Training are the key to the future.

>>53125820
>even after they have won they will never know peace. No matter what they do there is only suffering ahead.
-40k quote of the week

Easily, I doubt. Remember that it's basically the shadow government who created them, and shadow governments are very good at fooling and deluding the populace.

>>53125844

Yeah, I'm sure that human experimentation platform was very popular at the voting booth.

Checks and balances. It's the citizen's responsibility to keep an eye on their government and keep their power in check. You don't just get to wipe your hands clean because they were sneaky. Humanity shoulders a collective blame here.

>>53125884
No no, you see every voter possesses both perfect knowledge about the candidates and futuresight about what they will do.

Also we can ignore that winning candidate needs only 51% of the votes, even if you didn't vote for him you are complicit in his crime because
A) you voted for the other candidate, thus participating and legitimizing the elections
B) you didn't vote and every nonvote is a vote for victor

You monster.

Well, at least the /pol/ style argument is more or less on topic this time...

>>53125914
The average Joe lacks the means to find that knowledge anon. The government may have been good at silencing would-be whistleblowers, there's too much we don't know about the old government.

>>53125866
Right, because not only does this shadow government NOT fix the elections and let actual democracy take place, but they put their entire platform and goals relating to kidnapping and torturing the citizens to breed superweapons right out in the open for people to judge. Totally.

>>53125983
You're already getting into the mindset that you shit kill your sisters for being 'traitors' because they disagree with you, yet you claim a post-genocide world isn't going to result in all the Nightmare Callers killing each other?

>>53125914
The kidnapped and tortured citizens were voters too. So if they didn't want to get turned into inhuman monsters living in constant horrendous pain, maybe they shouldn't have voted for "Kidnap people and turn them into inhuman monsters living in constant horrendous pain" party.

Really, the monsters have nobody to blame but themselves.

Should I post Eternal's Rising or Titanlands? I feel like making a build for either.

>>53125997
Take revenge on the government then, not citizens who know nothing.

>>53125997

I don't think anyone is going to NOT slaughter the government. They just want to spare the regular humans and the Defenders, who are their sisters too.

rekt

>>53126013
That is actually reasonable huh

>>53126019
Seriously, that's what would immediately be on my mind when I got into my first combat with Defenders. That they must have been made using a refined form of the same process, so my immediate instinct would be to look for some way to interact with them.

>>53126029
Spectacle(Suppress) Would allow you to interact with them without much problem you would have to then drop the disguise later on though

>>53126029
Then what? You really think the Defenders of Humanity are open for reason? You really think they're going to listen to some Hive Queen who tells them the ugly, scary monsters are the real victims here?

>>53126013
How are you going to do that when the government is hiding behind humanity?

>>53126077
You have a fiend that can teleport through shadows behind enemy lines and you're wondering how you're going to assassinate people? Sister, you're not a very clever tactician.

>>53126069
I think I can fill one with just enough doubt that she'll give me a chance. The trick is to find the girl with the most empathy and tell her the whole truth.

>>53126077
infiltrators that know everything about the person they are replicating allowing you to get information that can get you closer to find the shadow goverment?

>>53126029
I agree, but it says that sister that tried to reason with them got dunked so there is that.

>>53126092
I doubt that'd do anything. The truth must be completely buried by now. In fact the same genius saviors of mankind who created the defenders of humanity program are probably the ones who did that to you too.

I imagine humanity and especially the Defenders high on moral superiority. This is their chance to fight an "objective" evil.

>>53126115
Do you just give up after one try?

It's a good idea to ask what she did, exactly. She might have have thrown herself into the middle of the city and started ranting about how fiends are people too for all we know.

>>53123953
When I get home from work, sure.

>>53124959
Yes. They're all disgruntled nihilists.

>>53125032
I considered addong more, but I kinda wanted it to fit in one page. If you jeed an example for what you look like, go with a cleaned up version of the top image. Other than lieutenants, most units aren't that bright, but intelligence does vary. Dragons, medics, and champions sre among the more competent ones.

>>53125232
I guess it would make non-writhing horrors? Think of it like the medics are clerics and himans are undead. They're just casting heal... which hurts humans.

>>53125315
That's a very dangerous plan. Soul trap is essential because your ranks will be running thin after a while.

>>53125589
Well the original part wasn't so dark - you could be a magical girl!

>>53125683
I don't like arbitrary restrictions like that, but it was fine in the original CYOA where Nightmare Callers were just enemies. As far as lore reasons, think of this as the worst-case scenario for what greedy scientists would do in the A New Magical Girl CYOA, if they weren't so insistent on robotics.

>>53126129
Again, this is why you pick your target for empathy. The one that is more concerned with helping her allies or saving civilians than hurting your fiends. That's the one that actually cares about people, and the one easiest to make see you as a person.

>>53122885
isn't niech just worse version of naifa or conquest?

>>53126136
>Scientists in their intentions to create artificial magical girls ends up creating the nightmare callers
I don't know why but it sounds very very very likely to happen

>>53126141
What's this saintly girl going to do?

>>53126161
Give you an ally on the other side. This is indispensable, as she has easier access to other girls who will listen, and without having to dodge magic and bullets to tell the story.

They would even have the ability to put in some investigation work within human settlements, and perhaps find some evidence. Or else, they could disseminate evidence you have found in the ruins of areas fiends have overrun.

>>53126161
Try to tell her friends and get herself killed for being a traitor.

>>53122884
>>53122862
...I'm conflicted.

>>53126136
>Yes. They're all disgruntled nihilists.

My sisters have nothing to look forward to but endless pain so it would be better to kill them, right? At least it'll stop the screaming some of us do. You'd like to rest too, right?

I'll find you a nice spot with plenty of pretty flowers, okay?

>>53126228
Lots of empathy and lots of naivety tend to go hand in hand.

>>53126243
A lack of empathy will render whatever you do hopeless. If you can't feel for your sisters on the other side, not even a little, then there's no way you can build any sort of life in any outcome. People who think like that won't be able to build a society if only fiends remain.

>>53122862

A peasant enamored with the blade, Ikon set off on his journey with the intention of finding all sorts of unique and wondrous swords, that he may study them and forge wondrous weapons of his own. It is his dream that his name may one day go down in history as the greatest sword-smith in all of the Orient.

>>53126308
I'll tell them if they ask me. I'd personally think it's better for them to die with the delusions that they're fighting for an objective good against a ravenous horde though.

>>53126326
Quests
SEASON 1
>Paekku Pilgrimage
A job taken by the party to acquire funds to continue their journey unexpectedly takes a turn to the dark side as Ikon and his companions find themselves plunged into a dark conspiracy...

>Monstergirl Island
While attempting to return home, the ship Ikon and his friends are riding on runs aground on a mysterious island. Stories abound about this land's mysterious inhabitants, monstrous, man-eating women hungry for flesh...
>The Cursed Onsen
Ikon decides to go on a honeymoon with his new wife. Hijinx ensues in a haunted onsen. All the while, danger lurks in the shadows as a dangerous femme fatale appears to threaten Ikon's newlywed life...!?
>Crown of the Yellow Emperor
Interested in the kinds of treasured swords locked away in the Yellow Emperor's tomb, Ikon signs his crew up for some goold ol' fashioned tomb robbing.

>>53126341
SEASON 2
>The Captured Phoenix
The conspiracy which began way back on the mountain peaks of Paekku reaches its climax as Ikon and friends rush to put a stop to a dangerous sacrificial ritual! If they fail, not only Joseon, but all of the Orient will...
>Ninja vs Samurai (Side with Samurai)
Ikon stands in the midst of a war between clans. Opposite him is the kunoichi who's both plagued and helped him throughout his journey. What waits at the end of this war and what will her decision be...?
>The Oni Daimyo's Wife
Taking on a new job, what should have been a relaxing journey to the peaks of Mt. Oyama becomes a mission of great peril when the Oni Daimyo promises one of his daughters' hand in marriage to Ikon. With two loves already in his life, Ikon finds his life threatened more by his wives' piercing glares rather than Oyama's treacherous climb.
>The New Shogun
The cultists are not finished yet. After having failed in Joseon previously, they seek to start anew in Zipangu. With their claws deeply entrenched within the nobility of the land, Ikon must plunge into the war of succession to put a stop to the cultsits' dark ambitions. And in the backdrop, the war for the position of head wife reaches its end. And the winner is...?

Thought it'd be funny to write everything down in an episodic format.

>>53126339
Well as Defenders CYOA states, their orders are to try and capture you alive for interrogation. You obviously don't want that, because their superiors will likely dissect and kill you, but the girls themselves only know that they're to disable you. Fighting like that, you'll have plenty of time to give them some of the answers they're looking for.

Broodmother - Painless

>>53126029
My plan is to contact them telepathically using my pain-free offspring (Broodmother + Pain Network). I'll use Allure to buy enough time to set it up—it's no good if they just kill me immediately (although Defenders of Humanity says that they'd like to take you alive).

>>53126394

>>53126418
The whole fleshwarp thing made me think that maybe they could be used to make my army more pleasing to the eye. The post you responded to was me requesting confirmation on this.

>>53126539
Not the author, but I'd say you can just buy level 3, you'd be awfully starved for points otherwise

>>53126495
Half of them are inorganic, suicidal, and/or few enough in number that a single casualty wouldn't leave a breeding pair.
Also, they "warp in".

>>53126494
You'd think they'd mention that in either CYOA.

>>53126452
>I think the flesh warping effect is trying to "heal" them into a monster's form
That doesn't sound like the case here, going by Beri's full(er) statement:
>Think of it like the medics are clerics and himans are undead. They're just casting heal... which hurts humans.

>>53126562
I guess it's also possible that there are simply so many wild fiends out there that you can easily call more up from around the world, rather than that the total number on the planet are increasing to replace your dead.

>>53126549
I can see it coming miles ahead
>Thank god we managed to deal with that failed experiment
>Now that that threat is gone maybe we can get to improve our defender program so something like this will never happen again
>It happens again

>>53126597
If anything, the version of their experiment that succeeded and created the Defender lines will only embolden them to further experiment. Clearly the fiends were just a fluke, in their minds.

>>53122982
It's not really a great "Plan A," though, is it? There are excellent reasons to believe it'll get you killed in short order, to begin with, as both sides of the conflict decide you need to die.

>>53123627
>Of course, there are also options in the cyoa to do horrible things, like stealing souls or brainwashing people for forever (that two hour limit before they're back to normal might be really useful for passing along information however, imagine is suddenly people kept returning spouting off everything we knew about what happened to us, eventualy it would catch on and people might want to investigate).
This is a somewhat better idea. It allows you to transfer information without any risk: the controlled party doesn't know anything about where you are, their allies aren't that likely to kill them (especially if you lead by saying that your control is temporary), you have two hours to say whatever you want, and tipping your hand to the enemy regarding the fact that you have this capability doesn't lose you too much. It's a loss, certainly, but it's not as if knowing that possession is possible enables them to enact an obvious countermeasure.

If I were aimed at infiltration, I might go for:

Possession - Body Hop
Spectacle - Suppress
Technomancy - Hack
Dark Portal - Instant Portal

Infiltrator
Infiltrator
Stalker
Death Walker
Valkyrie

>>53125697
This is a good plan. You can have ways to defend (hide) yourself, and you have organized troops. I do want to point out, however, that while Valkyries are generally superior tp juggernauts, this also means you get less of them. Also, lieutenants somewhat make training less useful as their innate ability is to give your forces direction. It's still good for a backup or for improving your lieutenants a bit.

>>53125743
Yes, Allure is all you can use, via direct control. However, that sub power also guarantees you a bipedal form, which gives manual dexterity and weapon wielding.
No, you can't limit the pain network's recipients. You'd have to send the unfortunate souls all on suicide missions first.

>>53125958
Yes, they do. Same for the other sub-option.

>>53126156
Scientists are just modern-day wizards. No sense of right & wrong 'n' all that.

>>53126200
Well, the defenders get the benefit of ignorance. They're fighting what they believe to be wholely evil.

>>53126240
Nightmare callers don't have eternal pain. If you mean the other units, they're not necessarily sisters.

>>53126278
Too dark? I can try to make something frilly next time.

>>53126372
Eternal pain isn't eternal if you get a happy afterlife. Reincarnation or bust. They just sorta drift in a lonely, painful, void-like dimension as their bodies are rebuilt and await a portal to free them. It should be possible for you to figure out a way to stop this & let them stay dead, but most of them - if capable of rational thought - would probably want revenge first.

>>53126414
Even with painless, most humans aren't accustomed to hundreds of hive-mind voices. It'll be tricky to get through to them.

Employed as a goon for the head of a rising criminal group, they made most of their fortune by gambling and pawning stolen goods. He promptly fleed the city once a larger criminal organization started killing them off. He's always carried a club around, although it served mostly for intimidation back in the day. The weapons he fights with are a pair of Butterfly Swords. It'd seem he stole those from his former master once his group started gaining recognition.

The Captured Phoenix
The oni Daimyo's Wife
Crown of the Yellow Emperor.
Monstergirl Island.

Not too long after starting his travels, he met Wufang. After a lengthy exchange consisting mostly of abrasive banter, they set out as a group. About three months later, Wufang mentioned a rumor about a captured phoenix, something that piqued Tatsu's curiosity, but it wasn't until they met Hotarubi that they decided to rescue the creature. The three of them managed to rescue the phoenix without much trouble, and were granted the Kiai as a reward. A year later, Kong joined the group, and a week after that, the news that the wife of a Daimyo had fallen ill started spreading throughout the country. Hifumi's knowledge about alchemy proved particularly helpful when looking for the flower that'd act as a remedy and, despite Kong's disdain, they were able to deliver the medicine and cure the Daimyo's wife, but he rejected the Daimyo's offer for the moment. Around 5 years later, they came across the tomb of the Yellow Emperor rather abruptly, but once the terracotta warriors started attacking them, they deemed too late to fall back. Turns out two bags of holding are ideal to hoard treasure. One of the messengers of the Daimyo let Hifumi know about an island recently discovered between the three countries, where they found peculiar creatures. Kong decided to stay, whichever his reasons were. Hifumi and the rest brought two monstergirls. A few years later, once Hifumi felt he'd adventured enough, he returned to the Daimyo, asking if his past offer still stood. Forunately for him, it did, and so he settled with one of the Daimyo's daughters. What happened to the rest of his group after that is unknown.

>No, you can't limit the pain network's recipients. You'd have to send the unfortunate souls all on suicide missions first.
So each Nightmare Caller has their own network, and if their army consisted entirely of their own, painless children, then the adaptation would just allow for telepathy?
>They just sorta drift in a lonely, painful, void-like dimension as their bodies are rebuilt and await a portal to free them.
Does this turn painless children into regular fiends?
>You could smooth them out a bit
How human-like could Juggernaut/Valkyrie/Dynamo/Outsider Medic be made, roughly speaking?

Since Stalkers seem capable of teleporting via shadows or somesuch, can they move other objects/creatures as they do so?

>>53122862
>every second anon taking broodmother

isn't it bad? It will probably take years to form a small unit and you're supposed to be a general commanding hundreds of giant bad-things. Picking it feels suboptimal, not as bad as allure or soul trap but still nowhere near as good as vitality or dark portal.

>>53127226
I don't want my armies to suffer forever anon

>>53127191
Yeah, Nightmare Callers are like servers for their armies. Your units will not revive if something happens to you. Painless children do not get reborn. Like you, they are not bound by the curse of pain (and reincarnation)
Making your units human enough to pass for them is put of the question, but you can at least make them less of an eyesore. You can't change their core properties. For instance, you can't give a dynamo legs. Stalkers cannot take other objects with them. I mean, if you had an object made put of shadows, it would work, but you're not some kinda wizard to do that.

that's why I'd pick it anyway

>>53127226
Well, the description straight up says that it's faster way to replenish losses than waiting for them to wander in from portal, and I think it says that it allows skipping the max unit cap.

>>53127226
To be honest it's not specified how much time does it takes.
Imagine if you can spawn one of the big ones in a few months.

>>53127226
You could get a handful of juggernauts in one day, if you devote yourself. And it is still MUCH faster than natural respawn times. It leaves you much less physically able, but you're supposed to avoid front lines anyhow.

>Too dark? I can try to make something frilly next time.
It's not that the darkness is inherently bad, it's mostly just that this is against your usual MO.

Also the setting makes me angst about what the right decision is.

>>53127467
Given that it's inspired by an anime, I'd say anime's very much what I'm looking for. School based setting too, so If there's nothing better, I could use uniforms.
>>53127499
Think of it like inventory management. The big guns take more space than the small arms. And no, you're not limited to only 1 tier. It'd say so otherwise.

>>53127457
Hence "or at least less intimidating", with the actual main point being capability of showing emotions.
>>53127488
Probably, but that wouldn't apply to me because 1: I'd just want them to be able to show what they're feeling, so no forced expressions, and 2: my plans include taking Broodmother (Painless) and using it as the sole method of unit acquisition.

>>53127389
Well good Onion, the premise of this cyoa looks pretty solid, however it needs a lot more images to hold my attention. The power section right now is just one big block of text.

I Bliss was actually going to do something similar in terms of powers but now I think I'll have to come up with something more original.

That does sound more reasonable

>>53127432
You'd still be stuck with such inhuman features as alien skin tones, horns, anything else prominent. You could boost their complexion and slightly alter their body shape. You *could* turn the juggernauts into amazons, but slimming them down to be curvier without losing any strength would leave them looking excessively muscular. And I'm not talking like it'd appeal to an interest in fit girls. I mean it when I say excessive. You'd have an easier time with valkyries. Of course, you'll want to avoid anything with body horror like devourers. A medic altering another medic could probably give them a dryad-esque appearance given enough time. Focusing on construct-looking units will probably yield the best results. I also recommend picking training so you can teach your medics about beauty - unless you want to direct control them. Beast-types could be made somewhat cuter, but humanoid forms are out of the question.

>>53127389
Is there any particular reason you didn't sort the powers into different columns (one for each Gene), or at least have them be sorted by prerequisite?
If you don't disallow mix-and-matching of power tiers, you could just say players have "4 (or 5) total power tiers".

Also, what's with "Limiters" and T5 powers?

>>53127561
do it fgt

>>53127552
Tier 1 Powers = 1/4 inventory space
Tier 2 Powers = 1/3 inventory space
Tier 3 Powers = 1/2 inventory space
Tier 4 Powers = 1/1 inventory space
Tier 5 Powers = 0/0 inventory space
Er, that's how it is with the current description of how picking powers works.

>>53122862

>>53127607
Oh, and to expand

Tier 1 = 3/12
Tier 2 = 4/12
Tier 3 = 6/12
Tier 4 = 12/12

If this is how you intended for things to work, it's a bit over-complicated. Plus, you'll end up sub-optimizing in terms of "space" if you pick a tier 2 and 3 power together. Not really "clean".

Gumiho brother pulled his sister and PC to the trip to the monstergirl island,. First stop was the onsen, where the party met the priestess. Then with pilgrimage, that went the same direction, reached the port and finally arrived to the island. After the party barely saved the brother from a marriage and a lifetime on the island, they went to the Qidan capital and were hired as bodyguards. After success, priestess went to Zipang and, soon after, called the party to climb a dangerous mountain to save the Oni leader's wife. The brother was finally married, while others returned to Qipan, often returning for a visit.

T1 means 5 powers. T5 means 1 power. Again, I forgot to update the text under "Powers" when I added the fifth tier.
Limiters, which are on the second page, reduce the "cost" of a superpower by 1. You could have a T4 superpower with an extra limiter and a T2 superpower without extra limiters.

>>53127481
Oh, hey. The lost titan. It is much better for training than a behemoth, even if it isn't quite as big.

>>53127550
Well, the original was meant to be a save-the-world type deal, so making a CYOA for the opposing side is necessarily grim. If you can't decide, recall that Defenders at least have the benefit of ignorance.

>>53127553
You can get some decent results for this. They're unlikely to win any beauty pagents, but you could make them less scary.

>>53127577
Those are some neat choices. Direct Control & Training don't really stack though. They're only upgraded while you're in control, but their training is going to waste while you're steering.
You chose a lot of big guys, I noticed. They'll all take quite a while to produce.

That's fine, I was going for "monsters into monstergirls" rather than "monsters into humans", anyway.

You *could* turn the juggernauts into amazons, but slimming them down to be curvier without losing any strength would leave them looking excessively muscular. And I'm not talking like it'd appeal to an interest in fit girls. I mean it when I say excessive.
I meant "amazon" more in the sense of appearing to be a muscular woman, not so much in making them human-scale. Giantesses (mini or regular) are fine.
>Focusing on construct-looking units will probably yield the best results. [...] Beast-types could be made somewhat cuter, but humanoid forms are out of the question.
Just so we're on the same page, would you mind giving a list of unit types, and which units belong to which type?

>>53127697
Right now, the powers are all jumbled together with nothing to sort them within the tier except "Requires: X".
That's absolute hell to sort through, since you have to pick your Genes first and there's no visual way to distinguish each power's type.
At the very least, I'd recommend sorting the powers by Gene within the tier, and maybe color-coding each Gene as well.

However, I'd really prefer six different columns, with the tiers divided up within the columns. Kinda like that one Worm CYOA.

Well then I guess I drop training for Allure, and Overflow, because while something like Soul Trap would be a more effective option for me, I wouldn't want to bother and I might as well be prettier. I mean I could go with dark portal, colossal portal, but I would rather just set up a beacon and then leave the area so I don't have to be anywhere near the battle.

>>53127938
It's ok, I give you permission to be a little girl(male). It's the best of both worlds.

The outsider medic harms humans because eldrich energies though

>Adaptations
Dark portal - instant - great utility
Vitality - instant heal - vitality is a no brainer and healing is superior to undying in combat
Broodmother - painless - always nice to have more units. Don't need frontline powers like Technomancy because I'm not going to be in the frontline.
Training - proxy - I want elite troops, not cannon fodder
>Fiends
Dynamos - main damage source
Thorn Turtles - to protect Dynamos
Valkyries - recon and air support, not going to make them attack unless absolutely necessary. Almost took dragons instead of them but I needed scouts.
Outsider Medics - should be useful in this unit composition.
Lieutnant - Armies with more than one brain tend to do better in combat

Well in that case I'll keep them close to me so that we can't be hurt more!

Even if I couldn't prevent my family, friends, and partner from being hurt... ;_; why did they choose me?

I have to make peace somehow or die trying. If this is a world that won't accept that, it's not a world worth living in.

The problem with juggernauts is more of how bulky they are. Giving them curves won't work so well. I recommended valkyries instead since they're more slender. Lost titans are actually very human-like, excluding their size, so they'd be good candidates. These are just descriptive categories. They don't mean much, but okay. Those with * are extra hideous:
>Construct-like
Dynamo, medic, goliath
>Human-like
Juggernaut, valkyrie, living beacon*, infiltrator, champion, lieutenant?, lost titan
>Beast-like
Turtle, walker, hunter, tortoise, dragon, warbeast*
>Horrors
Devouerer*, stalker, seer*

>>53127626
Wait, I lied to you. I thought you meant YOU summoning Dark Portals. The living beacon (unit) have infinite supplies from unknown origin.

>>53127942
Undying isn't death-immunity. You can die if you jump into a volcano, for example.
Also, you do NOT want to have your medics try to heal humans. Maybe if you Direct Control one, it could work.

>>53127953
Maybe? Did you play NieR: Automata. The machines are a good analogy here. There will be a LOT of imitation.

>>53127938
Because that restriction was in the lore before I decided to make the CYOA.

>>53128039
Makes sense. I agree that dark portal puts you in unnecessary danger that is incongruous with direct control. It's more of an instant-bodyguard option for emergencies.

>>53128123
Okay... yeah, maybe I'll keep the medics at the back lines then.

But in a world like this, I'd have no other reason for living if I couldn't at least make things a little better for everyone.

>>53128093
Focusing on high range damage from behind shields is kinda cheesy, but sometimes bastion-reinhardt is what it takes to win matches. You even have sonar arrows and a mercy to support it.

>>53128109
That's certainly noble of you. As to why you were chosen, just your run-of-the-mill "hospital checkups leak data to determine who is most compatible for human experimentation."

>>53128152
That's the spirit!

>>53128123
So uh, the souls of the humans that were transformed into pain filled beasts reimcarnate into more monsters indefinitely as long as we're there to summon them, but do the ones we create through broodmother have their souls too?

Like, am I just creating MORE monsters that happen to not feel pain, or can I actually help the souls stuck in a cycle of hell actually find at least a minor reprieve?
