Jumpchain CYOA Thread #1811: Every Jump Has An Elm Street Edition

I thank you, even if your sleep cycle doesn't.

Yes. Yeeeeeeees.

>Import elder scrolls pantheon
You are subjecting them to Hermaeus Mora and Sheogorath? You evil being.

>makes you an inhuman monstrosity whom has to share their body with the souls of others who risk overwhelming your sense of self.
The Prototype jump has a perk for dealing with that.

>Jumper looks at Dream Mirror
>All the million souls he has rip his body apart

>Enjoy

We all know you were just waiting to shitpost again, buddy.

Is Dream Demon an alt-form?

And how bad is the weakness to Holy Water/other holy things?

I mean it cant be much worse than the things zeus gets up too. At least sheo can occasionally be funny and hermaus is stuck hidden away in his library realm.

Been there for years, buddy. Never complained about it then.

Besides. Just do some grunt work and merge it yourself if you're that concerned about it.

I love Summon Creepy Children, but it's exploutable as hell.

It's more of a power. Holy Water and a crucifix were one of the things that killed Freddy Kruger in part 3, so pretty bad.

How so?

No I really did enjoy playing it I just got pissed off after I finished since the Notes locked me out of the jump in the first place so I wasted my time on a build when I can't even enter the jump.

>Import elder scrolls pantheon
Wouldn't this make the percy jackson universe subject to elder scrolls metaphysics since the entire cosmos is made up of the elder scrolls gods?

>Mora: You.
>Percy: Me?
>Mora: Yes you the dopey looking one.
>Percy: What is it?
>Mora: Go get me some books from Atlantis.
>Percy: What, no way!
>Mora: I have tentacles. You have watched enough he-
>Percy: Say no more, I am off!

Don't worry. You gave up like a bitch on the capstone boosters and reduced the Hypnos Gene in the process. We'll get this changed sooner or later.

Jeeze, that's pretty bad, then. Does it stick around post-jump?

Why do you always insist on playing your hand early? You'd get reamed at poker, if you even had the balls to talk to the dealer.

>out of the entire jump
>the ENTIRE jump
>mfw
I fail to see how. You just can't import yourself into the table itself. Just make your virus and eat it afterwards, or mishmash yourself with it, there's plenty of perks for it. Still the whole slew of perks and items.

I can always be convinced to change it back. You're doing a good job of convincing me.

Yes, but if you have or get something that nullifies the weakness you don't have it.

What are you talking about? I can't even enter the jump because I took Blacklight in the Prototype jump. It says says Sapient viruses can't enter the Jump and since I'm a sapient Virus that means I can't enter the jump. In order to play this Jump I need to start a whole new fucking chain.

>you can be dragged out of the Dream World and killed, even if you are sturdier than normal.
Does this mean that people can ignore your durability if they drag you into the real world?

Houserule it my man. Single player game, just follow your bliss. Every time a rule inconveniences me I just ignore it or make up my own.

Sorta? I mean norse and greek/roman pantheons coexist somehow even though they are pretty different in the way the world supposedly works.

I try not to think about what will happen if mora figures out hades has every lost book ever.

No, it's more commentary on how Freddy could still be killed by suburban teenagers even if did have enhanced strength and durability.

No point in hiding intent when it's blindingly obvious how it's going to work out.

And then you'll be put through even more threads of arguing and shit - and we all know how you reacted to that the first time. Besides the fact you're already being yelled at by Valeria to remove that limitation.

Does killing someone in the dream world bypass durability and other defenses?

Oh I just can't import myself into the virus creation. I thought that applied to the whole jump and sapient viruses were banned from entering it.

Durability, yes. It would depend on what you mean by other defenses for the other part.

...

I don't think the greeks and norse have bullshit like that if you throw your weight around enough Zeus/Odin loses his marbles and linear time stops existing.

...

I think the word "omnipotent" is something you should consider replacing. I can only see that going badly.

(Hey look! I entered [insert all powerful character]'s dreams and used my literally omnipotent powers to kill him, which kills him in real life! I can do anything!)

It's okay user. We all make mistakes, and I apologize for getting a bit belligerent there. I was just completely confused on where you were coming from.

Because we all know there's no arguing ever. Besides, I'm pretty sure Val's not the jumpmaker, just as I can't tell her what she can do.

What word should I use instead? Because that's pretty much what Freddy Krueger is, in the Dream World at least.

>Teenagers pulls Jumper into the real world to kill them
>They expect Jumper will be rendered powerless
>Jumper responds by going Super Saiyan
>FUCK

...

Damn I wish I had some cookies, cookies are great.

You can learn/copy anything from a character post jump if you take them as a companion. You only lose the shit you learn/copy in the Medeka Box Jump itself.

outbreak company jump when?

That's a pretty significant drawback for a perk that's already 800 CP with a mandatory fail condition. Gain a permanent fatal weakness to hundreds of relatively common and mundane objects, to say nothing of actual divine powers. It can't even be mitigated switching into an alt-form, and setting aside that other perks shouldn't factor into balance for jumps they're not a part of, most that "nullify weaknesses" only do it for races and alt-forms (which this isn't). It also makes it almost impossible to blend into dozens of settings.

Minor reality warping and the ability to kill someone through dreams... Is there something I'm not seeing which makes this worth that kind of hassle? Obviously it doesn't make you actually omnipotent in the dream world, or no one would have ever been able to resist him at all.

I wonder if that can beat Bill Cipher

reality warping or capable of warping the dreamworld

if he was omnipotent he couldn't get grabbed

Changelings would call it dreamshaping and would give Freddy a hard time

Does it at least protect you from your own holy powers? And it seems like it'd render any holy magic or items useless, as I can't really see a way it'd allow you to wield or use them without just blanket allowance. .

I would pay to see that match up.

Oh wait, I totally can.

It suggests he could take on DC Dream and win.

Nerfs should be illegal.

That's a good point. Okay, the weakness goes away post-Jump.

>Obviously it doesn't make you actually omnipotent in the dream world, or no one would have ever been able to resist him at all.
Fair enough; I hadn't considered the different levels of power like mentioned. I'll change it to reality warping.

Perhaps "ungodly powerful"? Because if he was truly omnipotent within people's dreams, the protagonists would never have escaped / defeated him. But in fiction involving deities, generally the average person gets casually smote but a rare few (the protagonists) manage to fight back.

To be fair, he's also trying to inspire terror in his victims as much as possible. If he just made their head explode without any build up it wouldn't give him as much power as if he tortured them for a bit first.

Yeah, you'd be safe from your own holy powers.

>How so?
Is your jumper a vampire? Free blood and souls!
Does your jumper have a way to swap bodies? Free meat puppets!
Does your jumper need expendable minions? Free expendable minions!
Does your jumper have a way to empwer minions? Free minions to empower!
Does your jumper need spare body parts? Free (soon to be) bodies!
What if you never unsummon them? Do they grow up to be creepy adults?

Of course, that's just the obvious stuff.
If there's no limit to the number or speed with which they can be summoned, one could end up with hundreds of thousands of creepy children. A mass of bodies crushing everything nearby. A hundred billion, and you could cover the planet with creepy child flesh.
A hundred billion billion, and you could be on your way to Creepy Planet.

>leaves you 99cp you can't spend.

With discounts its actually only 44cp you can't use. Freddy is still a dick however.

Shoulda been more into bondage. Powerlessness is a pretty great source of fear as well, as well as not allowing a chance to escape. Jumping off a plane without a parachute can be pretty scary desu.

>This means powers obtained with ability drain, skill copy, soul steal or other jump
shenanigans, and powers derived from those. For you and your companions, including
companions podded during this jump.

Reminder to murder everyone on Elm Street and overshadow Freddy, just to piss him off.

Reminder to seduce everyone on Elm Street including Freddy to turn the setting into a porno parody of itself

The only 300s I see are general options with no discounts.

Wait, wait.

Be a copy-cat killer, but then use a combination of meme magic and wild success to become so widely feared that almost everyone forgets about Freddy, and those who do remember think that he was the one copying YOU.

>What if you never unsummon them? Do they grow up to be creepy adults?
Probably. It's a good thing you can buy a mental hospital, since that'll probably give them a hell of an existential crisis.

>If there's no limit to the number or speed with which they can be summoned, one could end up with hundreds of thousands of creepy children. A mass of bodies crushing everything nearby. A hundred billion, and you could cover the planet with creepy child flesh.
>A hundred billion billion, and you could be on your way to Creepy Planet.
That's a bit more than "a group" by my measure.

100 CP options are free for their origin, and there aren't any 300/500 discounted options.

Does Val go by a different username in the IRC?

typically Val-something, or Something-Val.

CanniVal is one example frequently used.

Does Jumper Street insert into new jumps? If so does it have the same people living there or are they replaced?

>That's a bit more than "a group" by my measure.
Maybe "a handful each day" would be a less vague enumeration. At least then even the most wankery-prone person would be limited to 16.

Punnish words with "Val" in them.

Yes, and they are replaced.

Sounds good.

Just Valeria and Val puns. Cannival, Molag'Val, ExcaliVal, CarniVal, ValFree, Val-El, etc.

That's a shame, I liked the idea of an entire street of american families being dragged along for jumper's wild ride whether they want to or not

Anyway. Moar builds.

To that user who thought I was a mix of Xanatos and Fist of the North Star: That is exactly what is going on. Only with Void bullshit.

I've got a few billion dollars, I'm a very skilled mage with superb dexterity... and I'm smarter than Xanatos. Simply put, I am a monster that the Illuminati is not going to want to deal with. It probably doesn't help that I've got literal Void powers that they really can't deal with and enough genetic knowledge to make my own Gargoyles if need be. On top of other magical abilities, being stronger than most humans and having fucking LIGHTNING ABILITIES. Only problem is I can't really play my hand to the Illuminati too much. So I'm likely going to have to engage in politics.

Lots and lots of politics.

If Atlas stops holding up the sky, the entirety of the cosmos crashes into the world, destroying everything. That's pretty wack.

But regardless, I'm pretty sure PJO says that if you import a pantheon they have to play nice with the setting and not completely fuck stuff.

>100 CP options are free for their origin, and there aren't any 300/500 discounted options

My bad, I had a brain fart.

Been a long time since I saw any of the movies, but didn't one girl overcome her fear and start beating the fuck out of him in her dream?

That could describe a multiple of things, but most of the time Freddy is entirely in control and just pretending to give false hope. One of the kids in part three turned into a wizard, and Freddy still gutted him.

>One of the kids in part three turned into a wizard,

Explain.

>merge it yourself
But then it's not fiat-backed. Ergo, it's useless.

Isn't it obvious? He turned 30, user.

Is there anything in the cards for a Demi-Servant option in Extra? Also, can companions take Demi-Servant in Stay Night and Zero?

Dumbass ran into melee range, what did he expect to happen? Wizards are a squishy ranged class.

No I thought she beat him up and then pulled him into the real world or something.

How can one create discount-Skitter powers? The jumper might be butterflying away (as a side effect) the events that lead to Taylor triggering, and she's kind of important to the plot.

Val isn't here right now, come back next thread and try again.

Someone tell Doom that the 9-5 Jump fucking sucks. If anyone wants to carry my torch as Carl, they have my full support. Looks like writefagging is no longer a viable hobby.

I thought you were exaggerating, but he actually ran right up to his face.

Go to xmen and be max level telepath this lets you control pretty much anyone anywhere all at once.

Then find a way to use it on bugs too.

That happened in part one, six, and Freddy vs Jason. And the reboot, which is essentially part one again.

>Someone tell Doom that the 9-5 Jump fucking sucks.

Those are some quality last words.

So, uh, may have uploaded myself into a swarm of nanomachines. Do I still have a soul? Do I still have the bits attached to my soul like Exaltations?

Question for the ircfags, who is POJO?

...oh. Well.

This is awkward.

On one hand, everyone who works for me becomes AMAZING at what they do, I can shrink my tech down even further than before to ridiculous levels, my schemes tend to benefit everyone when I plan it out, AND I've got some amazing tinker-tech while having a formula that stabilizes serums.

On the other hand, literally nobody likes me and Cauldron has favors of me. Which are likely going to be abused and end up requiring me to get involved somehow, forcing me to figure out a way to get the fuck out of there when the shit hits the fan.

Oh this is really going to suck. I can scheme and plot all day, but I'm gonna have to pull overtime to get out of the way. I do not want to deal with Endbringers. Though I do know one thing I'm going to do. I'm going to use my time pause, knock Jack Slash out, and leave him in a medically induced coma for the duration of the time.
