Jumpchain CYOA thread #922: Counting With Veeky Forums Edition

Quick question - what is the "mid-series upgrade" that the Immelman perk refers to? Do all the Vanships get new motors or something?
Other than that, nice jump.

227. Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt
Origin: Drop-In, Age: 21
Perks: Artistic Reality, Slapstick (-100), Limbo Days (-300), Loser (-100), Ghost Magnet (-200), Spirit of Anarchy (-600)
Items: Sweet Threads
Drawbacks: Fanservice (+100), Annoying Fans (+100), Zombies (+100)

>A way to deactivate and reactivate appearance perks as necessary
Neat, I can stop making furries whenever I talk to strangers. I already have a way to dial beauty perks up or down, but deactivating all appearance perks completely and staying under the radar is still useful.

Sometimes I wish I had shame, but once the cats out of the bag I tend to lose interest in it. The fans slowly rising from my bath tub after my bath is pretty annoying, though. I confused them for a ghost at first, and decided to take no more bubble baths for this jump. Slapstick works well with Not Dumb Luck, Dumb Skills from Kim Possible, and since I have no dignity I don't mind the extra protection.

Anyways, as a Sylph of Breath, both Limbo Days and Spirit of Anarchy are astoundingly useful ways to help people and heal old wounds. Freedom is a great thing, and I have a way to temper it if it goes too far and starts hurting people. You can overdose on damn near anything, after all.

And for the story, I more or less opposed hell and the undead as often as possible. In order for them to care, I had to deactivate Loser, which would draw in admirers, and during the fights, I tended to lose clothes. So, naked ghost punching and accidental BDSM pornography was my life here. I wasn't on the best terms with Heaven, either, but we weren't enemies.

I'm looking for a jump to start my new chain, i'd like to have some sort of memory perk, other than that could be anything but NOT Kotor or pokemon. What other jumps are there that give nice memory perks?

I was thinking of someone else actually-fella called Skellyanon, who was a skeleton specifically instead of a mummy.

But yeah, I guess that would fit the bill technically.

>naked ghost punching and accidental BDSM pornography

The funny thing is, this is pretty much an average P&S episode.

Kingdom Hearts

Plane upgrade in general but yeah, the vanship get some upgrade near the end when fighting against the the Guild, converting them into fighters and bomber.

It's good to know I've understood the source material. Thank you, Mid-Eternity Crisis user.

Fate.

Fallout. It doesn't have a memory perk, but it does have a Pip-Boy, and in the end, that's close enough.

Plus if you do it first the nerf doesnt matter.

Pip-Boys are shit

>Pip-boy
>Not the Pimp-boy 3 billion.

Actually how is the upgraded pip boy better than standard?

Prettier colors and some extra features, including VATS.

You're shit. Pip-Boy-kun is best husbando.

Might be too late to ask this, but what happens if a human takes Archetype? What could they expect to get by standing head and shoulders over other humans, after however insanely long it take to reach that point? Is it a substantial boost, or is it not big enough to be worth doing?

I just hook an allaghan tomestone up to mine so it can unlock doors and download all computer info via proximity.

Thanks, I decided to go with A Certain Magical Index. Wish me luck.

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Luck and pluck.

The 2000 is basically a clunky as hell PDA. It provides GPS functionality, inventory management, and quest tracking.

The 3000 does all that but in the form of a clunky as hell armband, and additionally picks up radio stations and has combat targeting support systems.

It also has a better Geiger counter and inventory management system, and can be used as a flashlight.

>better Geiger counter

Better as in it actually has one.
The 2000 didn't have any radiation detection and you instead had to get a Geiger Count yourself.

All this talk about Fallout makes me curious. Jumpers, how'd your first fight with a Deathclaw go?

The Radio is of course the most important upgrade. After all, how else will you listen to Jet Set Radio?

It involved me running away very quickly, I could have actually killed it easily but I have played fallout so it was a conditioned response.

>had to get a Geiger Count yourself
I read that as had to BE a Geiger Count yourself.

Pretty well. I choose to weaponize it. Not in the "kill it and use its hand to make a deathclaw gauntlet" sense, but in the "pick it up and throw it into a raider encampment" sense.

There was no fight with a deathclaw. I actually spent most of the jump doing drugs and gambling with the ocassional bit of MAD SCIENCE!!! thrown in for variety.

It was great.

My magic theme is going to be Winter Sidhe (I think it's ok right?), so as a result i'm going to specialize in Ice magic and glamour. To empower my magic further i'm going to embody most of the Sidhe qualities from DF: never speak the false, touch Iron etc.
The Archaic speech adds a layer of flavor to it so it's not that bad, I'm more worried about the biting.

What I'm going to do is read the media collection and memorize it, then become the ultimate master ruseman concocting cruel, strange and elaborate ruses thanks to the keikaku master and critical perks

Living Connectors for everything, you want to shoot up with a Core Medal instead of a Memory, go right ahead. Oppressed masses kept just barely short of achieving their desires so the Megacorps can get loads of Cell Medals. Being a Dopant or Zodiart is extremely common, some have figured out ways around the negatives, others just don't care so long as they have power. Depending on nation Greeeds are either running everything or constantly on the run. Near brainless clones are mass produced so rich kids can play W. Large scale tension between Zodiarts and Dopants because Zodiarts give no shits about the Earth, while Dopants are drawing upon the Gaia Library for power. OOOs derived beings are mostly ambivalent, being tied to neither Space, nor Earth. Yummies are used as a carefully controlled workforce, some of the crazier rich people have even started using ones made from themselves as butlers.

On the subject of Core and Cell Medals: Is it possibly for a robot to use the Birth or OOOs Kamen Rider Belts, or do they require that certain something special that Humans have?

Sounds cool, but what do you mean by 'play W'?

It went great, which kinda made it such.
See, I was a Super Mutant who, by the time I encountered a Deathclaw, had managed to build an entire suit of power armor for myself.
A problem inadvertently came from that however. Word quickly spread of a 12ft tall armored monster that is beating up Death Claws in fist fights. From my perspective, and probably some of you, that sounds awesome. But from the perspective of the survivors in fallout? Civilians would shit themselves and run, Enclave remnants would try to hunt me down, and some of the Brotherhood were convinced that I was Frank Horrigan back from the dead.

Needless to say, I had a tough time making friends.

Kamen Rider W is made of two people. If you have a mindless body then you can put it in danger with little to no risk to yourself.

>made it suck*

Using the Double Driver. Effectively you have warehouses full of clones taught to act as the other half of the Rider. Meaning the rich have the massive advantage of effectively being able to use two Memories at once with far reduced consequences.
My best guess would be something like they have to be able to experience desire.

Ah. That makes sense.

Human rights violations aside, buying a clone to act as your other half as a two-person Rider sounds interesting.

Indeed it does. If you're out and about they stay at home and wait for your command, or if you keep the belt on you can telepathically communicate with them so you could use them like a pda or on demand researcher.

If you want to have some fun you send them out in rider form with yourself in charge, and if things get dangerous you teleport the memories back to you and go turn on the next clone. There'd likely be blood sports in arenas and the like for something like robot wars with Kamen Riders.

This would be a terrible future, which I think is the idea.

>Super Mutant in power armor
You're right, that does sound awesome. Sorry it caused you so much grief.

Well, the first few times I only ever fought them by sniping them to get their attention then luring them into minefields.

Then came the old one-two punch of the venom dart to the leg and massed fire.

Then straight up power armor wrestling the Enclave ones to crack their encryption chips so I had my own army to send against the cyber-super-mutants of the +300 rival. That was not fun.

That's terrible, but it also sounds really cool.

I'd probably buy a few clones just so I give them a chance to live like normal people.

Free will, huh? I wonder if...
No, never mind.

Just call me Goggles.
Goggles are a highly useful, if optional, accessory! In addition to looking cool and sciency, they protect your eyes!
You know, from stray objects flopping about, or maybe excess fluids.
Idonthavetoexplainshit.

Anyway, I mostly hung out in the church with my "sisters", a pale girl with greasy overgrown hair, playing videogames in a darkened room.
I was the team's techwiz! If they can even be said to need such a thing. And I also (begrudgingly) helped bust ghosts.
That's about it, yeah.

Absolutely nothing else interesting happened, in this ongoing war of ghosts and demons.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G E-L-S-E.

You know, now that you're no longer Antispiral, there is one jump you skipped for reasons tied to that ideology that could be hilarious for your current character arc.

>N-O-T-H-I-N-G E-L-S-E.
Right, that doesn't sound suspicious at all. . .

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, user.

EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

So, uh. Jumpers. What perks help reduce or eliminate really shitty aim?

Moons destroyed: 3.5

>Moons destroyed: 3.5
You should probably avoid Skies of Arcadia until you get that problem sorted. Far too many targets.

There are a ludicrous amount of them but most of them are for guns, I doubt you are talking guns though since even a GBE wouldn't blow up an entire moon. . .

I know some jumpers are reckless but how do you accidentally three and a half moons!?

Just get more Precision and Aiming perks, Heavens.

And stop fucking up the tidal patterns of the worlds you go to.

Look, maybe I took one too many ranks of Potential in Nanoha. Maybe a city-powered laser had enough kickback to make me miss a gigantic darkness monster. And MAYBE I accidentally sped up the lead to Civil War in MCU.

...I got distacted by all the shiny tech perks, okay?

Perks? Who needs perks when you've got technology? I'll lay out the plan for you.

Step 1: Jump Shadow run.
Step 2: Have a Smart-Link aiming system and Optical HUD installed. Pretty low Essence cost, so you're not losing much.
Step 3: Take a Smart-Link capable firearm and have some techie rip out the aiming circuitry.
Step 4: Install these circuits in a glove. Will be very low key. Get a pair of gloves with fancy arcane sigils stitched into it and no one will be able to see it.
Step 5: Now you'll know exactky where your hand is aimed at all times. Can turn this off when you're just relaxing.
Step 6: Stop blowing up moons you madman.

Savant from pokemon

I rather enjoyed the concept of Amon Top-kek, I wonder what happened to him.

You just cant trust ancient magic and technology with moons these days

Who needs moons, we can make a new one! And fill it with dragons!

Or just buy one of the already existent smart-linked mage gloves.

SR4 War, I think.

WE'RE GONNA BUILD A COLONY
AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE THE SPACENOIDS PAY FOR IT

Does anyone know of any technology or perk that allows the development of weaponry that can take extremely high energy input? Been looking at the microverse battery and my general "Mitochondrial Microverse Battery's" augmentations and I was wondering if there was any tech that would allow me to channel all this energy into a blast or something and not have a risk of taking myself out in the backlash, or everything else for that matter.

There we go, the *Microtrónica Azteca Spellslinger.

*Requires installed cyber eye to work with Shadowrun magic.

Not only , you can also get smartlink in goggles, glasses or contacts.
They're pretty much standard issue for runners.

Losing essence as a mage sucks, no matter how little since even a minuscule amount will remove a big chunk of magic capacity.
And you want all the magic capacity you can get for more powerful spells and spirits.

Well nanoha for starters is full of it.

Tales of symphhonia had an item that does it for 50 cp.

[spoilers]No Branpresto No I'm working on other things stop getting me hyped, im not ready for Fury and THE RETURN OF DARK BRAIN [/spoilers]

I had no idea those existed. I never played the game, only read all the various books. That's much easier. Thank you. I'll be getting one of those myself when I get there.

I'm still in favor of a direct install whenever possible. Though the contacts are a viable alternative. Certainly harder to lose that goggles.

I now know my destiny.

Refined Spellcasting (Dresden Files), A Symbiote (Symbiote), No Such thing as Collateral (Worm), and Queen Adminstrator (Worm).

It went well. It was more a challenge thanks to the power limitation of the jump. However I figured my strongest attacks are equivalent to hitting with power armor and powerfist which can reasonably shatter concrete. Adaptability allows one to quickly understand the anatomy of opponents. So I targeted the joints, breaking deathclaw's arms, then ripping the achilles heel. Super Mutants are tougher to take down. They actually travel in numbers and used ranged weapons.

HEAVENS NO

...

* Angel of Logic (Gunnerkrigg Court).

Heavens we need to have an intervention.

Ahh, interesting, while the Key crest won't necessarily help with the weaponry, this is definitely gonna be of use to make sure I don't literally die from the energy input cooking within myself. Much thanks user.

HEAVENS YES

Didn't happen for a while, because I avoid those fuckers like the plague..I got charged by one once, so I ran into a bunker.

my first FIGHT? I killed a few. Anti Materiel rifles are great.

So there's a lot of talk about how to destroy the chaos gods, but, how would you befriend them?

>mfw all of this

I'm gonna have to start writing
I'm thinking it's gonna be sorta Light Of Terra-ish in that you have a baseline point allocation and then can go take on more problems and scenarios for salvage and whatnot, the only NECESSARY thing you need to do is to probably attack the people who have the proper tech to send you back to mainline-not-bad future
but you can spend your time and energy solving the problems of this broken world and get a little bit of reward out of it.

Quick question regarding the Mad King DLC.

How does Kougami react upon hearing the news of Jumper defeating the King and destroying the Throne? What about claiming the Throne?

What kind of magic does NGNL Jibril do? I know she does a massive capital killing spell that leaves her without magic for 5 years. However does she know any healing/buffing spells? White Magic stuff.

The man was baking cakes during the desire apocalypse.

He'll probably celebrate the birth of your victory

Pic Related for claiming the throne, he's ecstatic. He's slightly LESS happy with destroying the throne but he's just excited that your desire overrode the King's. After all, if the king wanted it hard enough he would've won the day. You wanted it more, and your desire overcame a dude who could've taken over the world if it weren't for his obsession with destroying the pretender in Japan

Laser fireballs. Basically nukes.

Wily Wizard from Fairy Tail is pretty much made for your situation (if on a somewhat smaller scale).

That's the great thing about Kougami. He looks like he'd be some evil schemer that's going to be the real final boss, like we've had with previous Kamen Riders. But no, he's actually just super excited to see all this stuff happen, and has no plans to seize power of his own. Hell, I'm pretty sure that even the "harvest Cell Medals as a clean energy source" bit was just something he made up to justify this whole venture to his investors. Really, he just wants to see Kamen Rider fights, and that's a motivation that I think we can all agree with.

>I baked a cake before I left the castle to talk to Kougami

Where exactly is this Jump?

Nevermind found it.
