More Zynthias or more CYOAs?

both

Ay Tok, I'm the dude that made the "all quirks, split personality" Zynthia build. I got in late on both the Veeky Forums and /trash/ threads so I thought you missed it. Just checked the /trash/ archive and I'm glad you saw it bro. I'm even more glad it inspired a CYOZ! I just wanted Zynthia to feel like someone out there accepts her just the way she is, whatever that means.

Shy Zynthia, Cow Zynthia, Smart Zynthia, Cool Zynthia top tier. Bimbo, Sexy, Yandere and Maid also solid choices.

Fixed the things that people didn't like/get.
Compared to every other CYOA I've posted this one has gotten way less attention, and I'm not quite sure why.

Didn't read it because it looks shallow at first glance

That's the best author tag I've seen.
I'll play as soon as I think of a good story to dive in.

Well it isn't, so you're weren't wrong; still sensible feedback.
I must be more deceptive in the future (or make deeper stuff).

*Isn't deep.

Miscellaneous: I Don't Want To Go Home, Tone Change, Unity Of Babel, Unlimited Memory, Fast Forward

I’d just like to thank you for putting in some Judy Blume. I’d bet that a lot of the posters here didn’t read her, but her work is truly classic children’s lit.

...Also, the only reason English audiences think 20,000 Leagues is kid stuff is that the Miller translation, one of the most popular versions of it, hacked out huge chunks of the text which contained technical material which Miller didn’t understand. For example, most readers probably don’t know that the Nautilus derived electric power using a thermocouple exploiting the temperature differential between ocean depths. The story makes a lot more sense if you read another translation. Nice choice of cover, BTW.

Hopeman go and stay go.

>Nautilus derived electric power using a thermocouple exploiting the temperature differential between ocean depths.

So a its a fancy stirling engine hooked up to a electric generator. I don't see how that's so hard to understand.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Donno, when I feel like it.

Bimbo or cow? The real questions

>Starting Location
Atlas Academy

Nero Ampero, a guy who never ask’d for any of this, but who prevails at the odds. He’s the typical poor family guy who always wished for more, (power, money, a better life, you name it). He thoutgh the fastest and only way to achieve said wish was walking a less than honorable path, but he doesn’t care, as long as he gets what he wants, he’ll do it. His wishes and his will are the only things that keep him alive.

While it may not be the better suited for killing Grimm, if you could describe Nero with a word it could be: Killer. After all, his work before becoming a Hunter was putting an end to the life he was tasked to (being 95% of the time Human or Faunus) thanks to his Semblance and his “inhuman-like” capabilities. Also not particularly good at anything but tracking whoever he wish (or is tasked) to find (thanks again, old life).

>Your New Team
Rouge Le’chance
Lutz Eisenblut
Zuri E’Bardhe

>Foes
It That Speaks

How did such individual end up in an Academy? Well, let’s say Nero find out that becoming a Hunter granted him entrance to many doors, which could help him achieve what he wishes for. One of his formers bosses, heard about this and since he saw potential in him, he actually help him join Atlas Academy. Of course this wasn’t kind hearted, because, with time, Nero was going to pay the favor back by a tenfold.

He meet his new team at the Academy, Rougue, a girl who is always competing to be the best at anything. Lutz, a laidback guy who doesn’t care what they do as long as he doesn’t do much and Zuri, a girl, which Nero cares the most because he holds her as his only friend, and the only person Nero feels comfortable talking about his past (not all of it and not the important details, for sure).

They became team ZLRN

>Entry: Standard (10pts)
>Role: Level 3 (6pts)
I'd pick level 2 but stories with chosen ones would be difficult to progress and level 3 helps in harsh settings.
>World Management: Ironman (1pts)
I'm going to enter a dwelve a lot into the horror genre. I will still have to be careful but at least I can go back as long as there are more characters.


>I never want to go home (6pts)
Always pick the immortality option. Sorry family and friends, but I'll try to leave riddles and clues around my house that lead to my suicide note that explains that I had a good life.

I intend to spend a lot of time learning about everything.
>Unity of babel (4pts)
Utility.
>Digital Transfer (3pt)
>Real World Communication (1pts)
This is necessary so I can continue finding more and more fiction to dive in even while I am dead.
Also, it would be funny as fuck to send pictures to my friends of me in fictional world even though I am dead.
One sad point remains.

I always wanted to live through death game stories, like TWEWY, Zero Escapes, Danganronpa etc.
But honestly, there wouldn't be a genre I'd not visit, horror, shounen stuff, fantasy, romance and lots of porn.
After living my favorite stories, I'd start picking pieces of fiction that look fun without reading the story beforehand, so everything remains a surprise.

Question: For example, if I go inside fictionland to a story that leads me to a library full of fiction books, can I jump inside them as well, even if they are not explained in the original story?

>World Management: Ironman
Meant to write Casual, oops.
I'm going to die a lot and I won't have to be careful.

>Question: For example, if I go inside fictionland to a story that leads me to a library full of fiction books, can I jump inside them as well, even if they are not explained in the original story?
They will work just like books in the real world, so you can just jump right in.

I'll revisit these other books later in life,
But accumulating powers will take far more strife.
So my plan is to visit a world that I knew,
When I was a child, and stir up the stew!
Shake up the status! Quash all the quo!
Throw off the plot with all that I know!
Artemis Fowl has just gained a brother!
(Assuming, that is, we don't kill each other.)

Aside from keeping any unnecessary deaths and betrayals from happening, my whole purpose in this dream is to play Tiffany Aching to Opal Koboi. With True Heart, Makings of a Witch, The Sight, and my Deltoran gems, it's impossible to hide from me with illusions. The gems might even stop me from getting mind-wiped, but even succeeding at that wouldn't stop me. I have a Field Guide that details ALL of fairykind, and when I set out to solve a mystery it's impossible to stop me from succeeding! They could pull the time stop on me and steal it, but then the Nac Mac Feegle would go after it. And a clone of Butler. Probably both at the same time. God help us all.

Gift of Giving, Unless..., and True Heart will hopefully stop a lot of the unnecessary tension between the Fowl family and the plot relevant members of fairykind. Then we can focus on what really matters. Joint ownership and management of a government funded DARPA equivalent to outpace Koboi labs. Nothing throws off a grandiose genius like a threat to their ego.

Here's a nice grid in case you want to draw your kingdom.

>Chef Nutritionist and Mixologist

I'll open my own restaurant and it will have the best food anyone can taste.

The restaurant industry is notoriously fickle, user. A single great chef is a big plus, but no guarentee of success. Good luck.

Has anyone ever used it?

The point is that Miller excised the part of “20,000 Leagues” that mentioned it, along with lots of other stuff that would be hard for children to follow, leading to the perception of Verne’s work as YA material in the English-speaking world.

And a thermocouple resembles neither a Stirling engine nor an electric generator; I think you may be confusing them with something else. (In practice, thermocouples are not good power generators, and are mainly used as temperature sensors.)

I dunno, I don't read other people's builds.

>good power generators
>5–8% efficiency
>expensive due to the need to use rare earth metals

Thermocouple generators are good for powering low power devices and machines but not huge power intensive applications like submarines.

No fuck you I don't read YOUR build get out of my house

the picture still throws me

Lusus Naturae, The term coined by Alejandros older sister. An ability that has brought horror and shame to the Adonis blood line. Forcing the original heir to be cast in the shadows. Every time Alejandro kills a Grimm instead of going into the ether the smoke is pulled into his body instead. No Grimm is safe they are all prisoners, they may be used in a multitude of way. The most basic ranging on taking the characteristics of a Grimm to full on manipulating it's body in a mass of eldtrich ooze and bone. The absorption and manipulation of Grimm.

Outside of that loophole, this is pretty much made to abuse the Godblooded attack immunity as much as possible, and if all else fails use Overdrive or Niké.

Did you misquote the other user and then repeat his opinion, or am I just misreading things again?

>Macuahuitl
damn, those are cool


>Alejandro Agaue-Aias Adonis

your pages are outdated- ill post the updated ones

>Outside of that loophole, this is pretty much made to abuse the Godblooded attack immunity as much as possible, and if all else fails use Overdrive or Niké
How original. You're only like literally everyone else who has ever made a build.

You didn't misread it, that's exactly what happened. Unless I'm misreading it, too.

The pictures are just for illustrative porpoise, the character isn't Jensen.
also I couldn't find a younger version of Jensen since the character is somewhat based of him

part 3

i know its not jensen, its just weird seeing a 30+ yr old man used for representation for a teen

maybe genos would be better for illustration? i know that feel when you cant find the art you want

Alejandro was a prim and proper nobel, the son of a wealthy Model and an even wealthier Banker. He lived most of his life sheltered and arrogant. That he was a gift to this world. That all stopped when he met his first Grimm in the field of battle. After 'Eating' a Beowulf his sister become curious about his ability. After a couple dozen the mass of Ichor and Bone terrified her. Thinking the beasts had some how corrupted her brother she tried to kill him.

Isolation and contempt is what he received when he barley made it home alive. Now instead of being Gods gift to man he was it's curse. For four years he spent his life in his room. All he could do was read, train and brood. Years and years of 'Education' he was forced through made him want to rebel but he followed his family's words dutifully. No matter the fear of his sister, the glare of his mother... or the disappointment of his father. On his 16th birthday he was finally allowed freedom in return for one thing. Never use that godawful semblance and never drag the name Adonis through the mud. If you become a hunter or renown you may become heir once more.

She requires these yobbos to get off their asses and move.

I thought of using him, but he's too off in the "look-wise" of character per se. I could try changing the hair color and eyes tho. And yeah it sucks.

I made the CYOA and I thoroughly considered the chef option in my build too. I love cooking and making cocktails.
Culinary arts have so much depth because all civilizations have been improving it through history and adding their own traditions to the art.
Too bad being a cook pays poorly even in a good restaurant and starting a restaurant might not go well even if the food is excellent. But there are other options.

Will you be a cunning linguist?

>Singer, Instrumentalist and Composer.
Shit sure, let's become a musician.

Oh shit I didn't even notice. And thanks I was going for A 'Nobel' Name.

It just occurred to me that Artemis Fowl's closest thing to the Nac Mac Feegle are the Berzerkers.

Opal is beyond fucked.

I think he's mid to late 30s if you want to be anal about it

not sure if semblances can really mess with biology/remold people, so it would most likely just be summoner more or less- but semblances arent very well explored so maybe some form of what you are suggesting could work

aside from that seems like a cool build, very unique weapon too- actually really pleases with how creative some of them have been desu

I'm already a decent writer. (typist, not so much) and a good enough chef for my purposes (best in my peer group with no intent to crack into professional levels). They'd be boosted, sure, but it wouldn't be as pronounced. So those are out. Physician could be useful, but I'd still have to go to med school and get certified to really use it. Music and "misc junk" don't really appeal to me.

That leaves three options: Math/physics, visual arts, and IT. IT would really improve quality of life and I could start working freelance. Visual Arts would combo with my Writing skill to let me bring the stories I want to tell to life in a more marketable fashion (doing covers, illustrations, or even converting to comic format), while Math would mostly be to sate my personal hunger for abstract knowledge.

I think I'll take Visual Arts. I've tried to learn the normal way and... I am beyond no good at anything except miniatures painting where I hit OK for tabletop quality at best. So if I ultimately want both visual arts and IT, I think I've got a better shot learning IT without magic CYOA help, and Math/Physics doesn't present new opportunities to better my lot in life.

I'll make 100 text only pdf CYOAs.

I was under the assumption that a semblance could be anything not to out there you know? Like speed and energy absorption is good but putting the concept of spaghetti on your opponents is a no no.

I wish you people wouldn't make me hate this one last hobby that sometimes makes me happy.

most of them are rather tame desu, strongest one so far is vivid illusions/magnetism

I think the answer is that we don't really have a canon answer as to what if anything is the limit of what a semblance can do. Yang's and Qrow's both have very interesting effects/side effects that leave lots of doors open.

Polarity was, frankly, only the crazy semblance it was because Pyrrha was both crazy strong and really good at using it.

Emerald dips into mind control with her mental illusions. She's narrow, but entering spheres other than the physical.

Yang's basic damage = power up is pretty tame (though strong) but her red eye mode indicates that there's some physical change over her from her Semblance.

Then there's Qrow. His semblance is bad luck (Blackbird in the CYOA) which... this is passively manipulating the universe in a way in which we can't really understand.

And lastly, Weiss' Semblance is basically "Be the Wizard" -- her glyphs have a lot of space/force effects including (momentary) superspeed, mid-air footholds, slingshot effects, and that's not even getting into the implications of "Summon recreations of your defeated enemies".

IIRC, pretty much all of them have been in one of three categories:
>energy-based (counting 'misfortune' and telekinesis as kinetic energy)
>psychological (illusions)
>temporary object/creature creation (summoning, most cloning powers)
This suggests that the main limit of Semblances is a general inability (or at least difficulty) to create actual matter.

True, I just think chaining Grimm to yourself isn't too far out there. There had to have been some cases of it. That's why I went for it, the horror route and the cool factor. How would people react to a hunter that can make a liquid mass of Grimm into weapons and have them fight for him. Being able to transform into a giant abominable flesh monster shaped into all types of those monsters while having a soul and a heart of gold sounds like a good story.

hey good on ya for making 3 OCs at once a while ago, all high-quality too.
>Prostitute, Fast Food Cook & Anime VA
FUCC GOOD

you could do that with a very scary looking summoner - so like winters summons, but instead of white and shiny black and oozy and horrific looking

although considering everything it probably wouldnt be that big a deal

I like the body horror and shunning better more room to develop.

Thanks, bud.

I am not afraid of dying, i am afraid of never looking into her eyes again

this is nice, whoever wrote that i want an entire CYOA of it
