Jumpchain CYOA Thread #1740: The nature of crystal and stone Edition

And yet she turns a person into pure ice, and makes magic walking living snowmen, and also seems to create the cold itsself. Seems more like a full set of magic with a loose ice theme to me instead of a full on restriction to just ice.

Post your Avatar Legend of Korra builds!

Yes? And a wind queen could make wind elementals, create storms or still air, lay a wind curse or something. But it's elemental magic bullshit, not chemistry.

Another WIP, but I am actually getting near to completing this. I need to add a couple of perks and an item, as well as write up the last three/four drawbacks. I'd like some feedback for this WIP before I finish up though.

>We don't get to be Zombies
This makes me sad :(

The problem seems to be that val split all crystals out of that making it about chemistry.

Yeah probably would have been better off saying you can make crystals just fine but a person who does only crystal would do much better.

Why do people want to be zombies so much? I swear, everyone brings this up lmao

Because its neat and everyone likes a new altform.

Apparently Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Hercules, Frozen, Tangeled all share same universe. Arale is Hercule's cousin, due to her Grandfather being Poseidon who's Herc's uncle.

Elsa's parents died on the sea voyage to Rapunzel's wedding. Elsa & Rapunzel are more likely sisters. The ship wreck that Arale discovers could be Elsa's parent's which was in Danish waters. Cinderella characters can be seen in the wedding scene for Tangeled.

Hercules also had Scar's pelt but I think it's more an Easter egg. However if he really did have his pelt, that means he survives the hyenas.

That'd make sense. Same way a Water Queen could probably make ice/snow, but not to Elsa levels or with cold powers.

Braaains... are delicious?

yeah, i was thinking, an earth focus could make a rough wall of crystal, while a crystal specialist could make people/golems and castles from crystal

The interesting thing is that while with Olaf she pulls the coal, sticks and carrot from off screen, in the short about Anna's birthday when she sneezes the little snowballs have coal when made.

I don't know how canonical the short is though, but she also pulls color from a flower to change her dress.

I think most of those are easter eggs or so far apart in time as to make no difference.

I understand that, but a single CoD zombie is... kinda crappy?

Maybe people just want to kill CoD men?

Alright, this is the final edit for now, barring any minor flubs in the document to be finished for the upload version. If I come back to it with Adventures it'll be a separate doc

Changelog:
- Added import to Custom Shoes
- Fixed issue with Engineer from the Future
- Clarified Searcher from Space
- Added Cybernetics
- Neutral alignment now has a 200 CP item Stipend to match Egg Boss cybernetics stipend
- Freedom Fighter alignment now has a 200 CP Companion Stipend for the same reason.
- Added OC Companions

Maybe people just want to be killed by CoD men?

Thats why you have perks!

Maybe make it a drawback, you are a CoD zombie, if you survive you get to keep it as an altform.

Or, you know, you could stop trying to science everything and look at it from the way a layperson sees "earth" - dull rocks, dirt, and the like - versus "crystal" - shiny, clear stones.
This is magic, not quantum mechanics and chemistry. Symbolism is more important here than what the atomic arrangement happens to be.

>CP
Why not wumpa fruit?

Have you considered giving the bandicoot's their 100 free and not charging anything for the backgrounds? 50 is an especially odd price.

Forgot to note that OC companions are free but can decide whether or not to become companions (Though a few of them are pretty much guaranteed to agree)

That'll be fixed in the upload version.

Otherwise, I'm proud of this, and I'm gonna take a long, long break.

My build for this is crazy boring though. Most of the fun went into my Last Aribender build which built up from my Wuxia Build.

Can I just post all of them?

For those of you with big families, how do you manage your kids, nephews, grandchildren, etc.? Also, do you differentiate between bastards and matrimonial-or-whatever-serious-relationship-you-are-in children? Have you ever adopted anyone as your children?

Is it? I've seen it in a few Jumps, one's that follow the 'modern' formula of Jumpchain. S&S and Sherlock Holmes spring to mind

Turn the tables user! Strike back against the discrimination that says zombies must die en mass to mere mortals!

Ooh, I have one of these! It's kinda boring but whatever

In magic crystals are always part of earth. That is the purpose in most symbolic magic systems, crystals are the earth but also evoke connotations of water.

>For those of you with big families, how do you manage your kids, nephews, grandchildren, etc.?

Like a well oiled machine that cares

Also, do you differentiate between bastards and matrimonial-or-whatever-serious-relationship-you-are-in children?

No

Have you ever adopted anyone as your children?

Yes

Done!

BRAAAAAAINS (+400CP)

You asked for it. You are now a zombie. A member of the mindless hordes, mere cannon fodder for any survivors. You may have supernatural powers from previous jumps, but they are toned down somewhat by your undead nature. To sweeten the deal, if you can survive for ten years in this body, I’ll let you keep it as an alternate form.

Fair enough. I think it is a little odd that it ends up even though. The 50 is essentially buying the first perk at a discount, while the free background can decide not to take it if they don't want to.

There's plenty of precedent for you to ignore me and go on your merry way. I may just be getting used to jumps with free backgrounds. A little spoiled, so to say.

In any case I'm still reading it but this looks good. Brings back memories of playing on the PS1 all those years ago.

I love it!

>one's
That's not a possessive, goddammit. The Jumps don't have personhood ,yet

>but this looks good
Aw, shucks

Since the zombie drawback seemed to be the last thing people wanted added, I'm calling this complete for now. Might come back to it later if people, say, want some more buyable Wonder Weapons.

The boxes for Wanderer and Warrior From the Future aren't aligned with the rest of the boxes. It looks like the boxes for the origins line up with those first two From the Future boxes too.

I just want to be able to pop up giant granite castles in no time, I know granite is like 90% crystals but the stuff is solid and the dark stone look is appealing to me. I love the look of a fortress and an archway made of it.

I wonder how Aang reacted to meeting another Air Nomad.

OC Maker extreme is ready to go!

Speaking of OC's, is Dinya meant to have Comrade From Another Dimension, which is light and day based, or Personality From Another Dimension, which is the actual Djinn perk with the sand and the sunlight and the wishes?

Why do people care at this point? Isn't this just the whole avatar discussion all over again? If you want to be able to make and manipulate whatever material just go to generic xianxia or desolate era and meditate on a dao of it for a couple years and then you can make and create it all you want. Plus since learning similar dao is easier you can just keep moving sideways until you control all the elements, you have time I have seen people spend 5 million years there. Hell DE lets you spend a quadrillion years there. Just learn the various dao elements like earth, air, fire, water, wood, metal, life, and death and you can pretty much make whatever the hell you want and it is even free to do because it is part of how cultivation works in those settings which you get as a perk.

...
Personality
I got the two mixed up, for some godforsaken reason.
Gonna just mark that in the newer version to be uploaded, fuck

any writefagging to go with that? builds are p intriguing
>Drawbacks: The Seven Chakras
that means you're amnesiac and your powers are sealed off right?

Happens to the best of us.

This is one swanky jump. How'd you manage a second great Sonic jump?

Working on a new jump that should be ready around this time next month; here are some of the Drop In perks.

What's the jump?
That stray bit of perk at the top seems fun.

From what I can tell this time round it's less wanting to be DA AVATAH, and more some chemistry autists being unable to recapture the magic of childhood

Looks cool.

Bit of advice-might want to give an example to benchmark Deader Than Dead.

What changed since the last WIP?

...That made me remember of this episode.

I'm 99% sure it's Friday the 13th because Jason Voorhes is the one that kills teens for disrespecting the sanctity of marriage, Myers is the one that kills because he's a psychopath and Freddy's the one that kills for shits+giggles

I added another origin and all but one of their perks, almost finished the items, added companions and typed up some drawbacks

Pure unadulterated Autism

The tombstone at the bottom says "Jason", so all aboard the hype train!

So with Engineer from the Future can I use my powers to give my avatar physical form?

Man, you should be proud of this. It looks freaking magical. Enjoy your break. I love the OC Companions. So much flavor.

>FORGET IT, LET'S DO IT LIVE!
You cheeky bastard.

So... if I combine the N'rrgal Queen option with something else like being a robot or a Zoah hybrid, do I make robot/hybrid drones or just normal slimes somehow?

Normal Slimes

You could but it'd basically just be a kinda mindless lump otherwise.

I'll do a little write-fagging on this when I can, but basically:
> Three Kingdoms
I accidentally to over the Shu faction and connected with the Wu by marrying Sun Shangxiang. Got fucked near the end of the stay via an unusually potent poison concocted by who knows who, so I was too busy trying not to die to choose to stay like I had planned.

> AtLA
The transfer, poison, and fucked up chi circulation screwed up all my memories and abilities, spent what felt like forever meditating with the Guru to rebalance and reopen Chakras. Aang thought I was someone who just wore Air Nomad clothing, I couldn't air bend and all Nomads were benders. Struck up a friendship with him as we continued our meditations and also managed to badger him into teaching me the Air-bending forms, which started to trigger my memories and balance my chi. So he taught me more and when he finished, we decided that the other forms would help...however, he had a vision of Katara needing help and had to go. I tagged along.

I eventually regained my memories years after the end of the Fire Nation, and made a name for myself as the Void Bender, the man who could bend other Benders' elements. Taught the Kyoshi Warriors and Sokka how to do it too. Managed to find myself back in the Eastern Air temple where I meditated one last time and finally Let Go of Shangxiang, then continued on to the next world.

> AtLoK
Where I found myself meditating in the ruins of the Temple, so a guy had to figure a way down, then to the nearest town. A trip to Republic City later, I found myself being very unimpressed with the new Avatar and the realization that I was in the original timeline. So I figured, "eh, I can make her a better Avatar and person in general" and proceeded to humiliate her and Team in a pro-bending match. It's kind of difficult to beat someone who can use your own weapons against you after all.

After that, and a little chat with Tenzin, I became Korra's part-time trickster mentor.

>I accidentally to over the Shu faction
>accidentally to over the
> to over

TOOK OVER!!

>Elsa & Rapunzel are more likely sisters
How does that make sense?

It doesn't make sense. At all. Plus if rapunzel and else were sisters and the parents died going to her wedding how come she also appears in an easter egg at the coronation? Her hair is still the same and she is the same rough age.

Its just some user pushing their headcanon as real. Ignore them.

I'd understand if it's too much to ask for, but I would really like to have a Jason Origin.

Do we have a Three Kingdoms jump?

We do not. But I would love to meet uo with lu bu.

The Wuxia Jump allows you to go to different Settings, one of them is the Three Kingdoms Era.

Your Beautiful Brain? has fanfical when you probably mean fanciful.

Of course.

>Lu Bu
>Shu
Literally meme tier faction.

How did I miss that? Thank you, user.

Poor user doesn't get any pancakes.

Can imported companions buy things like the company or the 'non-fictional' Wumpa Islands?

The Spyro drawback probably shouldn't let you companion Spyro characters using Crash's canon companion option. If people want to burn a pod or a Blue Feather or something then there's no need to stop them, but while there was a crossover this still isn't the Spyro jump.

That said, if you get (or already have in which case I apologize) SpyroAnon's permission go ahead.

So I didn't see this last thread but Sei and Dou ki aren't anger and power vs. calmness and skill. Someone can be incredibly skilled and calm while using Dou ki, someone can be incredibly angry and powerful while using Sei ki. Instead Sei and Dou are about how you fight, Sei contains your ki until the last moment where you use it to dodge an attack or land a hit that would have missed, it works with methodical styles that work on precise movement and hitting only as hard as they need to defeat their opponents. It requires you to ignore your emotions while fighting though which stops people from getting stronger because they really want to win. Dou ki meanwhile relies on a fighters instinct and training to guide them in battle without them having to think about it much and letting them pour on power and pressure. They do stuff like dodging attacks they didn't see just based off fighting instinct, overpowering opponents with sustained powerful offenses, and letting their emotions fuel their fighting power to move faster, hit harder, and take hits they otherwise couldn't. Neither one is really stronger then the other, Sei lends itself to endurance fighters and tactical fighting while Dou lets you hit harder and faster then Sei

I'm sure you'd still be able to fart.

M, multi-dimensional time-traveler, escapee of the prison dimensions, freelance bounty hunter extraordinaire. And that's before I jumped in.

You mean Generic jumps, I'm guessing.
Some people assume they get to choose a setting from among the works classified as within the relevant genre. Others treat the world like a blending of the tropes, themes, etc that make up the genre.

...

Is that fairy about to whack the wizard?

no, she's holding up the lamp so he can see the pages.

Family is... Complicated. I have to rule a really big ass realm, including multiple worlds and subdimensions, so everyone who doesn't decide to stay in a Jump ends up sharing some responsibility. That means that most of my children end up ruling a really large chunk of land. Call it nepotism, but my children usually get the job done. As for grandchildren and later generations... We don't really get too much contact? I know that they exist, but that's mostly it.

Also, lots of egos and court politics some times lead to some conflicts, but nothing significant.

> Also, do you differentiate between bastards and matrimonial-or-whatever-serious-relationship-you-are-in children?
Early in the chain I didn't really cared about bastards because I tried not to leave any behind, since it would probably mean fighting with the other parent to take away the child. Nowadays my children are just that, my children.

>Have you ever adopted anyone as your children?
I consider lots of my younger companions as that.

What sort of Noble Phantasm would these servants have?
Brutus
John Wilkes Booth
Gavrilo Princip

Brain cells exist for a reason. Exercise them.

I'd like to see what /jc/ can come up, thought you are right that it is lazy. Gavrilo Princip would likely have a NP that makes fate help you find your target and Brutus would have a NP that gets stronger the more the target trust you. I'll probably try to fluff it a little and ask Val about it later.

>Brutus
>John Wilkes Booth

Both assassin class, both have anti tyant NPs, both are rather close range. But brutus has higher charisma while boothe has higher agi (he jumped off a balcony iirc)

Anti tyrant*

And broke his leg. And was apparently SUPPOSED to KIDNAP Lincoln, but like every Leeroy he couldn't stick to the plan.
