What syndromes did you get in Double Cross, /jc/?

Jumpers!

The Jurai Trees and their ships are amazing. They're sapient, they're loyal, and do what they can to provide for you and defend you. Tell me, do you have a Jurai tree on your chain and what have you done with her? Has that relationship changed? What was your best adventure of favorite memory?

Tell me your tales of Jurai trees!

Previously on The Chronicles of Ryuma Saotome [Build: archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/55283369/#55290944] [Fluff: pastebin.com/6v555wu3]:

“Destroyer, All of Humanity’s Evils, Source of Colorless Fog, Beast of 666, and Cursed Element.” The voice said as it rose from the consumed corpse of the Ninth Bright Shiner. “I have consumed five grand Evils within myself and exacted each of the penalties. Life penalty (Oh Lord of the Dead), body penalty (A Perfect Sacrifice), freedom penalty (Trapped in Slumber), fame penalty (Fallen Who Takes The World), fortune penalty (Sin Given Form by Choice).”Behind each phrase of penalty a second voice listed out their ‘donors’. “Hate of life, hate of self, hate of chains, hate of others, hate of fate.” It laughed mockingly. "That's a neat form, Jumper! How do you like mine!"

Pic Related is basically the shape Avenger has taken, take note the 'human' in pic is a multi-story construct body that my Jumper is in as a Not So Bright Shiner.

Reposting because I forgot some stuff. So, here's a question guys when faced with irredeemable, absolute, Evil what is your Jumper's response?

Show me your Old Kingdom builds, /jc/.

What's Double Cross?

>what is your Jumper's response?
Contain, dissect, exploit, then disposal

I wonder how many people have waifued the tree.

Imagine a frog being boiled alive. You're never aware of the danger or the doom looming overhead until it's far, far too late. I was immediately in a bit of a bad situation, being in the FUCKING DRAGON EMPIRE CAPITAL of all places. Instinctively, I knew that I had to help the Hero-King-to-be, Marth, or all would be lost. I'm not sure what possessed me to believe it, but I knew there was no time for doubt or second-guessing myself. I began making a running start to the nearest port. As luck would have it, I found myself crossing paths with a large number of troops being transported to the ships to continue their invasion of Archanea. About five-thousand, give or take, with a sizable fraction of them being dragons.

The sane thing to do would be to find a way to blend in and board their transports, then slip away and give the intel of their movements to the first relevant royal I could find to prepare for a counter-attack. I, however, was not sane. I announced my presence and held the Hookblade up high, making sure to 'nudge' the sun facing me. I told them to prepare for battle, because this was an ambush. Then I patiently waited for them to line up and prepare for said battle, though the rank-and-file were convinced this was some sort of elaborate deception from an escaped human slave.

I heard murmurs among the officers, however. About the tattoos I wore and the Hookblade in my hand. 'The Nameless One' escaped their lips more than once. And then, they were ready, and so was I. My companions were convinced I had completely lost my marbles. I gave them a chance to surrender, turn back from their journey, and to live to fight another day. I don't know if the officers underestimated me or couldn't risk causing disarray in their coalition of troops from Dolhr and those kingdoms who worked under them, but my offer was refused. The soldiers were tense, as if sensing the coming storm. Thus, I drew my Hookblade, and charged.

Everything became a blur to me. I wasn't sure what my original intent was - I figured I'd cause some chaos in their ranks and then retreat once it became too much for me. But that moment never actually came. I had taken injuries, certainly, but Reverb and the fragment in my body closed those wounds before they had a change to actually slow me down. It's only when I realized the remainder of their forces had routed into a terrified retreat did I stop and slow down, realizing I was covered in blood from face-to-toe. The Hookblade dripped softly with warm red as I stared at my handiwork. I had merely planned to be a distraction. But I had routed the entirety of the invasion force by myself, with almost no real resistance able to stop me. Even the dragons did little more than slow me down.

Would it be better to pick up Tiki in Archanea or Awakening?

I was…I was expecting an exciting battle and a chase. But all I had done was reap the souls of dragons and men like wheat in the harvest. The killing ground has fallen dead silent as the remainder of them ran away in a panic, before Sho shook me and promptly hit me over the head for doing such an unnecessary battle in the first place. The others were worried…except Dan, who was mostly upset that I didn't use the Gamer Driver or any of his 'ingenious' inventions during that particular fight. Eventually, we ended up moving to the port to try and use one of those ships they had planned to use…except that they had set fire to the ships in what I assumed was a mad panic. We managed to find some boats to use instead, miraculously enough. Though I guess we could have just swam in our fish forms…ah, well.

I guess…I became too strong?

..we met up with Marth and we ended up assisting him. Things go relatively according to schedule, though…I couldn't shake the idea people were a lot more afraid of me now. I certainly was.

to smile at the mirror!

for a more serious answer, super powered Holy/Divine spell. when i say super powered, i don't mean 'very' powerful or 'extremely' powerful. i mean supreme power, power an entire galactic empire for a century powerful.

>Reposting because I forgot some stuff. So, here's a question guys when faced with irredeemable, absolute, Evil what is your Jumper's response?
Purge?

Huh.

>pastebin.com/6v555wu3
You might be geting a space before or one of the brackets user. Here you go, try this one.

I'm thinking I'll get the Light ones for enhanced senses.

Magic space herpes will eventually eat your brain.

>when faced with irredeemable, absolute, Evil what is your Jumper's response?
Roll to seduce.

That's why I asked. I think the Jurai tree is incredibly underrated as a partner in the chain and I wanted to see if anyone else agreed.

My Jurai Tree is somewhere between a daughter and a little sister. Backstory in the jump is that I would visit her in the arboretum as she was growing from a sapling, took care of her and formed a strong bond from a young age. So she wants to make me proud and help me whenever she can, though time and experience has tempered that from the blind worship of a child to just a very strong respect.

As for what I've done with her? Turned her into a world tree. Avatar of the Green and World Tree, from DC Occult and The Gamer respectively, have made her a giant avatar of all life that channels enormous amounts of mystical energy. Then she learned the Second True Magic in Fate, so that she can bridge the world with her roots and branches. Avatar of the Green non-locality means she's always by my side, usually in the form of a lotus flower that goes with the pseudo-Buddhist aesthetic I use. And Kaleidoscope means she can bring in the big guns so that I always have backup. She is best daughteru.

Imagine Worm.

Now imagine that the superpowers come from a viral agent that can infect even inanimate objects, instead of dumb space-whale bullshit. Your use of your virus-borne superpower can potentially make you go inhumanly bonkers.

Now MAKE. IT. ANIME.

That is Double Cross.

Man, I'd love a jump where you can just buy 70ft of hair that doesn't have all the logical problems that would cause. Hopefully with option to grow even more.

So you've been importing her as a companion?

This guy gets it.

I decided against pixies but got giant eagles because 1 I havent been to tolkien stuff yet and they will come in handy and 2 they could probably teach me a lot of nice wind related stuff

And I picked foxes for kitsune because 1 kitsune are always appealing to my inner weeb and 2 because I am a massive fluffy tail lover.

Also does this mean I am simultaneously Naruto, neji, and sasukes cousin? Oh god does that also mean Im a shoe in for befriending by naruto? I want to make friends with hinata!

Plus side is with these fucked up eyes they probably wont know its byakugan and will probably assume some bastard version of the sharingan.

And yes I went total tailbait for the furball summons.

So you've been reading AGG: Rise, I take it?

As for your question, depends on how much of a threat I consider it to be. If I feel I've got the upper hand I'll take the time to drive it into despair before obliterating it. I'm good at that, lots of dickishness perks in my build. If I don't think so, I immediately move to bind it with as many buffs and restrictions as possible, then call in every major weapon and asset I have to destroy it with supreme overkill. Unless that's just what it wanted me to do, of course, always use hyperintelligence and precognition to check for double blinds like that.

Right here.

Yep. She's sapient, so I figure she counts as much as anyone else journeying with me. And best daughteru deserves all the upgrades I can give her.

Aionon, are you around right now? How's the World Seed update going? I think you said that you were going to slot it after the WoC update.

So how do you balance her as a ship vs her as a .. bodied person? Not sure how to put that, but basically is it weird to go riding around inside of someone you could also sit next to and headpat?

How is the tree a daughteru when she is probably older than you?

Growing the Beard in X-men lets you do thatt IIRC

I've actually tried something like this on Avenger during my first full on fight with him. Me and him played conceptual ping pong whilst I tried to kill the heck out of him and he just kinda ignored that.

[The expected answers]

>AGG: Rise
What is this?

Yeah good luck with that aions in a bad way right now. He posted a few days ago saying he lost his job and if he wasn't back in a week or so to put everything up for adoption.

It's a Japanese tabletop RPG. The premise is that archaeologists accidentally unearth a sample of some ancient super-virus that infects people and turns them into monsters. You play as one of the Overeds, those infected by the virus that haven't been transformed yet. In theory it's possible to go a long time, maybe even your entire life, without transforming so long as you manage your condition. Unfortunately, using the superpowers your disease grants you accelerates the transformation process, and since the virus produces monsters and is able to infect literally anything, not just people, you're probably going to need those powers. And that's before you get into superpowered criminals. It's pretty cool, and Digger did a great job on the jump, you should check it out.

Link that for proof please.

USE THE GIFTS GOD GAVE YOU

Did she just steal his shades?

I think that one's only up to knee-length, which is kinda pitiful for rapunzel hair? Does also make it easy to style though, which is nice.

>he just kinda ignored that.
thats why you gotta get those perks like 'Slayer' (generic isekai) and 'MEoDP' (tsukuhime). great for killing the unkillable.

Dance with damnation. Burn my eyes on a candle, and drive a knife on my heart. Pledge to the edge, and grant thee a corpse. Drown in the marshes, and look north.

Red as Wounds. Red as Riots. Red as Sunsets. Red as Desire. Red as Betrayal. Red as the Waters. Red as Remembrance. Red as Roses.

Seven scars weep. Seven chains are remembered. Seven times is the soul stained.

Eat. Eat until I don't need to anymore. Eat until I want to stop. Eat until it hurts. Eat until I bleed. Eat until I force myself open. Eat until the world forgets who is who.

All shall be well.

But seriously I'm a hungry boy and evil's got all the vitamins a growing cosmic being needs.

Man I'm on mobile I think it was friday or saturday go look for yourself.

>So, here's a question guys when faced with irredeemable, absolute, Evil what is your Jumper's response?
Companion it. As long as they are not backstabbing (and I have perks to prevent that), I like to companion that kind of guys.

Oh damn. I remember that, now that I think of it. Losing your job fucking sucks. Guess I might pick up World Seed if he's really in such a bad spot.

archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/55283369/#q55285352

>What is this?
Seriously? Wow, weird coincidence, then. A Geek's Guide: Rise is a quest over on Space Battles. A recent event in it had the hivemind "Chimera" monsters make a big giant super-avatar by eating and usurping the power of a dead god of destruction. It then went to devour the most powerful other Chimera to grow even stronger. And the image used for it is the exact same one you used in that post.

She's an Avatar of the Green. Having a humanoid body running around while the majority of her is a ecosystem-sized mass of plantlife is the natural state of her existence.

Nah, you start out with a sapling, remember? I raised her from just about when she was old enough to have consciousness.

As I recall he has tried to give that one up a few times anyway. Might be a good thing in the long run. Hope the guys job situation works out.

Yeah, he talked about how updating World Seed was going to be a pain in the ass.

Dis is da current levul uv dakka I'm workin' wif. Almost enuf dakka. Almost.

>Enough dakka
I don't even need to look to know that you do not have enough dakka.

There is NEVER enough dakka

Well plus side is you have shit tonnes of chakra with your build and plenty of tricks for swording stuff.
The bad side is now you have 2 ninja animal tribes calling on you in times of need and you are an angsty pants.
Miss angsty pants. That's what people are going to call you. I suggest you befriend naruto and push "The Plan" as hard as possible. Naruto will want your attention as a relative and sasuke will try to help you too. Your very presence will probably derail the story by a large amount.
Got a picture for your funky eyes for you though. This is my favorite fan version because it is simple.

Before you imported her as an AotG, did she primarily run around as a humanoid or a ship? Or both? I like this idea, I'm just trying to get a feel for it.

>KRUMPIN' STRUMPET
>not KRUMP IT STRUMPET
0/10, see me after class.

Was your behaviour there drawback influenced or something else?

A question for everyone. Does your jumper make the picks and know their purchases and drawbacks, or do you behind the keyboard make choices your jumper character just has to deal with?

>miss angsty pants
That is just mean.

But thank you for the eye picture.

Ship. DC Occult was the very next place I took her, so she went straight from being a tree powering a spaceship to being a tree large enough to be a spaceship that could also bud off little sub-bodies. It was only a matter of time before she decided "I want to have a body I can go on adventures with dad and our friends" and made something humanoid. Her sense of aesthetics needed some work, at first they were more or less just wooden mannequins, but she got it eventually.

Ayep.

Let's put it another way, Avenger isn't the problem and Jumper doesn't even know that.

Hey not judging, I sought the name as well. I know what hunger feels like both as a player and as the Jumper (Twice for the Jumper).

Huh.

Wow really? I litterally just looked up Scary Anime Monster and image searched for a bit. As for this I built up Avenger's Actions all the way back in Demon Souls (archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/53627297/#53629751) The Pastebin is old so it might not be active any longer so pastebin.com/V57TY9UK here you go.

Would Mikotsu really be worried? She might be better now, but she was pretty into blood and slaughter before.

Changin' da titul immediate-like.

I feel like this is from something...I want to say Fallen London or Sunless Sea?

Not really. The Jumper in question was used to being a thrill-seeker and someone who routinely fought against bad odds for the hell of it...and drastically underestimated how far he had come in terms of power and combat ability. He had never just absolutely run roughshod over such a large group before, so it came as a bit of a shock.

He's also only aware of perks on a very subconscious level, just enough to know how they work.
GET BACK IN THE CAGE
More worried about the fact Nameless was a fugue than over the fact he just did a violence. Mikotsu is...not hard to amuse. Her reaction to Kuroto joining was more 'HeE...hEe..fUnNy LoUd mAN.'

The most interesting idea for a benefactor you have had shows up to take you away, are you fucked?

...

That's pretty awesome, user. Well done.

...I mean, depending on the context, here...

>>GUBBINZ >>Ether Drake

a Squig ain't a shiny bit you git!

My one and only benefactor is Jump-chan. Basically a waifuable omnipotent being. I think I'm fine.

IT'Z A SHINY SQUIG YA GROT!

Anything can be a shiny if it's flash enough!

I, too, follow the old ways.

Well, I'm fucked.

I dunno, I give myself 50/50 odds on this.

I have always imagined my Benefactor the same way I imagine the Random Number God when I play tabletop. So I am always absolutely fucked.

MY LIFESTYLE IS DECIDING MY DEATH STYLE
Complete justification for going into drawbacks mostly
Female optional, just the gambling mentality matters

They only have as much knowledge of their circumstances as I need them to have for me to enjoy writing the story of any given jump.

I generally try to pick things that Jumper would want while still being fun for me to use as writer. No deliberately evading powerful options or forced suffering though.

Who YA CALLING A GROT YA GROT I IS A BIGMEK!

Could someone who knows about Desolate Era tell me if having a first-rate Jindan does anything in the long run? Does the grade of your Jindan still matter when you are a Daofather, for example?

I also remember something about Primordial Chaos being a trap Dao to learn, is that really a thing? I'm guessing it has nothing to do with mastery of cute androgynous boys. That was Hastur, not the Crawling Chaos.

Nah. That's probably a pretty good scenario for me? My chain usually doesn't involve the benefactor much. Most of the time it's either generic jump-chan, just wanting some cheap entertainment, or something that's near-completely absent, apart from comments when picking stuff out for the next jump.

So, the 'most interesting' slot defaults to a tsundere Jump-chan who set the whole thing up to make a random bastard into her husbando.

Anybody have a favorite jump for becoming a sniper? Not just for being a good shot but for fieldcraft and the like aswell?

A semi-sapient jukebox in the warehouse, which sends me to random settings.
Not terribly fucked.

A RISING TIDE, THAT PUSHES TO THE OTHER SIDE

>Mufasa-like Cloud Man Benefactor with the voice of BRIAN BLESSED that screams advice down at me when I ask for it from the heavens and routinely engages in battle with ninja mountains in the background
...I'd say I'm pretty good, honestly.

Pokemon is pretty darn good for it.

Be one as a sniper based archer servant maybe? A NP that gains auto mastery of any ranged weapon you pick up and another NP for impossible trickshots? Fuck I kinda want to do this now.

Harry potter is pretty good for using it.

So let's just review what happened here. Your jumper is toting around Grail-Kun because as annoying as he is he's funny or whatever reason. Grail-Kun has slowly compiled a ton of various magics and stuff together and made an Avenger expy that he's annoying you with?

So uhh... How big is da tree ships? Is dey killy?

Existentially speaking, yes. But ignorance is bliss so most of the time I'd still be enjoying the chains.

She's a regular G-Man. Selling the services of my Jumper to the highest dimensional bidder as drawbacks I have to overcome for her to get paid. Probably not? She wouldn't throw me to the wolves immediately, that'd just be a waste of an investment.

>A neet who wants me to buy the world's comfiest couch so we can laze around and play vidya.
Everyting except my productivity should be fine.

I'm looking to start a new chain and I've used excel in the past, but I want to try something new. What do you use to keep your chain organized?

Cherry Tree. Just Cherry Tree.

Miss ya, brah.

>image

stop

stop

what the fuck am I looking at.

One note, quite convenient.

A quill and parchment. Get gud.

I suggest Cherry Tree, but I personally use Notepad because I'm lazy.

Having a better Jindan very much matters at higher levels, if you want to do Ki Refining. The inferior Jindan-cultivating methods the Three Realms have is the reason why they falsely believe that Fiendgod Body Refiners are automatically stronger than Ki Refiners. When Ji Ning visited Prisonworld 17 (the canon counterpart of the Strange Stele item), despite being at a higher stage of cultivation than many of the prisoners he was actually weaker than them. You definitely want a first rate Jindan if you can get it. Fortunately, you don't have to buy the Jindan Cultivation Methods item, with its high cost, if you want one. Paying 200CP to have your cultivation method be good up to Celestial Immortal rank should teach you the method to make a first-rate one, since it says that it won't introduce any weaknesses or stunt your growth, which a third-rate Jindan would qualify as. It's just that you'll need to make your Jindan the normal way instead of the upgraded way the item teaches you to do, by absorbing an entire world into your Zifu to fuel the creation. Have fun, try not to choke.

Maybe, maybe it would turn into something super comfy instead. That idea of a benefactor was one where they were really out of touch with things, to the extent that they don't understand danger, or the value of things. I was thinking of doing a chain for it, where I would randomize the amount of cp for each option in the jumps, and the amount that each jump would start with, but it sounded like too much of a pain in the ass. That benefactor would likely throw me into absurdly dangerous situations armed with a fake gun, or throw me into a children's cartoon with rocket launchers strapped to my everything.

Cherry Tree is really useful since you can sort things into nodes.

So you could like have the overarching chain information in the primary node. (Chain order, themes, ideas for arcs, etc) then the individual builds in subnodes (Jump 1 is its own Node, Jump 2 is its own Node, etc), then special projects, plot writeups or chain developments in subnodes of your builds to keep a timeline fairly organized.

In the long run, it doesn't really matter. I don't think World Gods or Daolords are held back if they had a third rate jindan, for example. At those stages, only the strength of your Dao matters.

Not him but you seem to know the setting. How hard is it to learn the various levels of dao?

I am looking to learn as many as I can which is why I bought the time tower to get in a few thousand years of extra training whenever possible.
