Jumpchain CYOA Thread #1215: Look To Your Sins Edition

>State your name, rank, and intention.

How do you respond?

Glorp, Slorp, Gwarg!

Why does it keep switching between Lilum, Lilim, and Lilium?

banchô-user ,God, Liberation and you best put that gun down Now girly unless you want to lose that arm

Charity.
None of your business, I suppose I'm the leader of my group, do you have three hours and a whiteboard?

Jumper-kun, Emperor of Space, to shitpost on your Earth internet

Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong?

Above all else? Absolutely? Justice. Never work for the enemy at all costs, and try to avoid killing people if you must. Always protect.

Also no blood magic. That's a nono.

freedom

>but would essentially make the offensive miracles useless.
They are. Haven't you played Dark Souls 3? Slow as molasses.

I have too many, retired, and road trip.

"Nika, uh...don't have one, love, friendship, and to spread goodwill wherever I go!"

Truth.

But blood is good. You need blood to live.

>implying

[Unintelligible noise that causes their ears to bleed], Captain of the GSV 'Overkill Is A Virtue', and I'm here to hunt waifus.

Because dyslexia is a powerful drug

Self Confidence.

After many a day buried under bureaucracy I live!

The strong should protect the weak, but the weak should always be given the option to grow strong. Don't know how to say it any better than that.

I go by Gaunlet-user for the first, though I do have a list of all my various incarnations names for some researched I'm doing and also I have a different list for my various ranks. Intention? Well if the world is shit I'm here to try and help fix it... I'm kinda a white knight you see...

Prudence.

Kindness/Compassion

Enjoying paperwork?

Power is a responsibility, not a toy.

Reminder to everyone reigniting or absorbing the First Flame in Dark Souls:

This should let you rediscover Flame Sorcery, which is kinda like if Pyromancy and Soul Sorcery (the stuff most people use) had a much more powerful baby. The greatest magic user in history, the Witch of Izalith, specialized in Flame Sorcery before the First Flame became too weak.

One thing Iove about Exalted is they have a Bureaucracy ability that you can get Excellencies for, I love the fantasy of slaying paperwork so easily.

I just spent like three days buried under inventory manifests.

Is this Jumpable yet?

compasion

Temperance

Loyalty. Restraint is a close second, though.

Kindness. I know, I know. I'm a bit of a jerk sometimes but I do try.

Yorokonde, Second Lieutenant 2nd Armored Division, and Classified. If I told you, you wouldn't believe me and if I showed you, you'd consider yourself insane.

Have a lollipop.

They got buffed. I mean, they're still useless in PVP because they're spells, but they're usable in PVE.

So,this new DS3 jump got me thinking. How would the Chaos Flame react to the Dark and Deep and All Things Spooky? Would they merge, would they reject each other, would they create some sort of abyssal demon monstrosity for me to unleash upon Lordran and/or Lothric?

That's totally the oposite of a round table.

Oh, I see. Did they buff Sorcery's damage? I remember that damage was a bigger issue than cast time for them.

Hopefully they didn't nerf Pyromancy or Hexes because those two were still useful sometimes.

Freedom to myself, and to some extent, my companions

Chaos has nothing to do with Dark. Dark is the property of the Dark Soul, Chaos is the property of the Witch's corrupted Lord Soul (some people call her's the Life Soul.) They're not direct opposites, but they're not related at all.

Well yeah. Batman is sitting at the table. You can't have a round table to symbolize how all are equal when Batman is there. He is objectively better than all of those knights.

Yes, but I'm asking how they would react to each other. It's like putting two volatile chemicals together; will they explode?

Elongated table?

Jumper (but you can call me Jumper-chan), Pleasure God, to rape and pillage your home-world and this station! And then daemons start infecting everything

Hey douchbag, there's no reason to act like an asshole. If you want to make it better and you've got the go ahead: great. But waving your dick around and talking trash, with no real standing, honestly what have you done, is garbage.

Make the jump or don't, but shut the fuck up about it and leave your soapbox at home. Or at least wait until you've got some laurels before swaggering around.

Time for builds then.

Origin: Drop In
Race: Human
Drawbacks: May you live in interesting times +300
Perks:
Time to mix drinks and change lives (free)- A luchadore, an enkidu expy, and nervous patrons all walk or get carried into a bar...
Theatrics (100)- ...And promptly turn the expy into a slumbering drink tower.
Big Bossu (300)- And no one had dinner that night.
Script Kiddie (400)- Then he got onto the internet and all was lost.
Danger/u/s (600)- Thus was Jumper born, shitposting user supreme who on occasion has a point.
2 idiots 1 keyboard (1000)- His fingers were never seen again.

Gear
Kotatsu (free)- Nor was the rest of him.
BTC Beverage Kit (1100)- Mixing intensifies.

Ware:
Dermal Armor (1300)- Yet their skin remains smooth and fun to touch.

Awakening in a bar and not being smashes would be a first for me. Ditto for the shibe damning me with faint praise over the alcohol tower I form the base of. Carefully pulling the tower off without spilling it, I ignore the applause to have femtobots begin devouring the foreign nanites in my system while studying this mesh over my skin for improvement into superior flesh weave. Thus began the story of Jump runner, vigilante freedom fighter by day and shitposting bartender by night. Hanging out with the boss, and secretly slipping Jill money without her being aware I flip between comfy and a brighter cyberpunk aim. At least the corgis vanished from the bar after that, and the patrons are quirky enough to be interesting. Now if only Dorothy would stop soliciting me or the ghost in the machine stop pestering me at work...

don't have one, wiafu, and i'm here to find casinos I haven't been banned from.

Integrity.

>Just curious, I assume you don't want to create an ugly world and just about every demon in the series has been super uggo so-when you remake all life in demonic form, what'll you add to the Seedbed to ensure folks don't look like gross plant monsters?
I'm not remaking all life, I'm just using the Seedbed as a base for some projects. You know, plant some flowers, let them grow, monitor them to ensure it's only at the level of demonic state I desire, etc. Plenty of other modifications too, but that's likely to come later in the chain. So for now, it's sitting there.

>Also, are you going to personally take on the Dark Sigils/First Flame embers(?) to kindle it, or just shove it all in the Seedbed before shoving it into the flame?
I am Usurping the Flame. Taking those embers and throwing them into the Seedbed of Chaos, going with what Vendrick had theorized. The Dark Sigils are just so I could harness the First Flame and the Dark Soul in tandem, letting me break this stagnant cycle to begin with. 'cause, you know, purposefully prolonging the Flame is what got us into this mess to begin with. So not letting that happen again.

Don't make the Multiverse a less interesting place.

So I've just started getting into jumpchain, so this might be a stupid question. But how do classes work in the FFTA jump? Is there a point or year cost to them?Is it just a grab bag?

>purposefully prolonging the Flame is what got us into this mess to begin with
I thought the fact that the Flame – and the Disparity that came with it – are what caused this mess? Like, hasn't the world already been through countless cycles of Light and Dark, but the world is just falling apart because it's supposed to be Grey and Unchanging?

Comitas which according to wikipedia is the Roman virtue of ease of manner, humour, courtesy, openness, and friendliness.

Seems to be largely on the money.

You can access any of the classes of your race, plus any additional classes you purchase with the Extra Class option. I think FFTAnon said you can also theoretically learn new classes from other people via learning skills, but it's a lot harder.

Hey Myrmidont, the Flexbot note makes me wonder...

I can also just add more Microbots to my Swarmanoid/Skulker swarm as normal, which is retained by the altform, right?

Also, could I start replace the microbots with miniaturised variants to gradually upgrade myself to a (mostly?) nanoswarm?

The Primordial Serpents along with the Corvians in the Painted World of Ariandel also imply that purposefully prolonging the flame and forcing it into Ages of Fire that last way longer than they should is what's fucking the world up. Instead of letting it be a natural cycle it's just constant tampering.

The Corvians consider burning their Painted Worlds when Rot sets in to be a natural thing, to make way for the new world instead of prolonging it unnaturally. The world with the First Flame is prolonging things unnaturally and not letting the Age of Dark come on its own, since the Fire Keeper when she's given eyes also implies there will be flame after the Age of Dark. So neither side is meant to last forever.

While this is conjecture, it does make a good amount of sense. The First Flame came naturally, and so it should be meant to fade naturally. It's been through a bunch of cycles yes, but for a bunch of those cycles the First Flame has been kindled and prolonged to the point where its outstayed its welcome. It just feels like the better option so one day a new flame can arise.

Yeah, you're right. Major dick move on my part, and I apologize.

That makes me think.

Jumpers, would you refrain from saving people or improving their lot in life if it made for less interesting conflicts?

What perks should I pick up before jumping Murdertale?

You know, I got curious now: are we in dream-Ivalice, or the real one from A2? While the jump kinda leans towards the first game, it also takes a lot of elements from the second one, so I got a little confused here.

Tolerance of Evil from Overlord would help.

Well, if you take Marche to the Sea like everyone does, you're in Dream Ivalice. Except real. And you and everyone else dies if the dream ends.

Murdertale should be trivially easy to survive. C'mon, user, a child could do it.

So, using Adaptive Body to absorb what's left of the First Flame: good or bad idea?

I thought it never really reached an Age of Dark. Someone always showed up and kindled the Flame again before it could really start.

Fucked if I know. I just played it safe and used the method in the game.

Is there anyway I can cleanse evil or purify demons?

Taking a lot of dodging and aiming perks could help. If you really want to be evil, you could just take an endurance perk and when Undyne reforms out of sheer willpower, keep dodging her until she melts (which can actually happen), convice characters to stand down and then kill them. It really takes a strong intent to kill to actually kill a monster.

I mean, you have a point. But on the other hand, that does mean you're helping Kaathe. Aka Mr. "Hey Oolacile, you know what would be fun? Sticking your dick in the corpse of the primeval man."

Though I haven't played Ariandel yet.

I think they did reach an Age of Dark but lol DS canon.

That's a complicated one. I mean, sometimes bad things have to happen for the greater good, and other times a little bit of suffering can forge a person from an arrogant little shit to a true hero. But generally, no, I won't let people needlessly suffer just for entertainment's sake.

You, you I like. That was a good one.

You mean you killed the Firekeeper to steal the Flame? Damn, that cold.

Generic Magical Girl

Kingdom Hearts.

New jumper; desu I thought that was partially the point. Even as strangers with outer knowledge, we can't be entirely aware of our own reality in that place. Thankfully, we know a way out that doesn't involve killing what could be an entire world.

On the class thing, I guess it makes sense that a jumper can learn all race related classes in the span of ten years, but it does seem almost too readily exploitable. Still, thanks for the clarification!

Not really. I can find conflict without making people's lives worse.

There's a third ending if you get five Dark Sigils from Yoel before you hit the Catacombs of Carthus and start helping Yuria out. Fire Keeper best, not to be killed.

You know what you guys need? To feed on the humanity of other humans!

Well yes it means I'm technically getting this Dark Party started right, and that's kind of a warning sign. But it is a far different approach than Kaathe had in DS1, which... was pretty much just throwing Abyss taint everywhere and seeing what happens. Plus if the Fire Keeper says that she can see embers and flame after the Age of Dark, then I'm gonna go with that. She's absurdly loyal, she has no reason to lie.

The third ending is absorbing the fire, and you said you didn't do that. You can't just do whatever. You kindle it or absorb it if you use the sigils.

See , and my build has the Sigils, so... yes, yes I did do that?

They didnt use another perk besides the canon method as said here

Don't the Dark Sigils mean you're slowly turning into a rotting corpse.

Do all of your beauty perks mean you're turning everyone you meet into a a necrophiliac?

Purging Stone purchase, so I've got a supply the second it looks like my appearance is marred from them. Boop.

Even then there's ways to get rid of the Dark Sigil after. They're means to an end and chances are once I've managed to put the First Flame into the Seedbed of Chaos I'll try to bugger them away.

The undead are only supposed to be a thing when the flame is dying.

Actually I'm pretty sure corpses are the true appearance of man. The "human" form is an illusion brought on by the First Flame.

The only other time we see the corpse look is before Humanity exists at all. However, even when the First Flame dies, there is the Dark Soul and thus Humanity, and it's the usage of Humanities that keep you looking fresh in 1 if you'll remember.

>Purging Stone
Sounds like an item from Rome, Hollywood, or the Career Model jump.

Nope, DS3 itself.

>-(50CP) - "Purging Stones": "Ash-colored stone encasing a skull. Inhabitants of Londor, the land of Hollows, use this secret treasure to feign normalcy. Occasionally, a Hollow fools even himself, and turns on his own kind."
>Upon being crushed in hand, it completely removes reverts hollowing back to the first stages, allowing an otherwise desiccated husk of an undead to resemble a human once more. Doesn't not cure hollowing, simply reverts the progress of it.

So it's technically something of a temp solution until I've accomplished my goals.

Doesn't to much humanity make you a giant monster?

Too much of anything turns you into a monster in dark souls. Humanity, souls, flesh, knowledge. All of it.

For the Sburb jump, would it be possible to fuse both a Lord and a Muse classes? What about a Time and Space aspects?

Would Time combine well with Void and Doom?

Oh come on, how often do you get to make a induced vomiting joke? I work with what I've got.

>hugestokintits.meme

>that one fucking dragon

You can fuse classes? Was there an update or did I just miss that first time around?

That's what happens when you get too much sunlight.

Which one? The giant vagina one?

how did jumpchain get started? what was the first jump?

Well, you can't be a Lord or a Muse, so I'm going to guess no.

>fusing with a fucking dragon
Seems legit
