Jumpchain CYOA Thread #1982: I Sold You And You Sold Me Under The Chestnut Tree

>implying

Nobody said I had to go to a Xianxia jump. How do you pronounce Xianxia, anyway?

I don't want to be an asshole cultivator who murders and rapes to squeeze out one more Raditz of power.

Where can I learn to replace training and imbibing rare drugs with spiritual growth and being a nice person?

Missing a "or pay X to choose" for the Location roll.

Use of 25 and 75 cp purchases is odd, but at least you've avoided the problem of ending up with unspendable cp.

NGNL has a good physical one exclusive to Warbeasts, Blood Devastation.

I'm IMPLYIN' THE TRUTH, YOUNG MAN.

Also I think it's literally "xee-an-xee-ah"? All I know is I pronounced it "shee-an-shyah" and was told off.

... Oddly enough, Generic Xianxia. Living Saint.

>Living Saint (800): You have walked down many roads and experienced many things, and while
>some would pass this off as unimportant or behind you, you are capable of recognizing how these
>experiences shape and ultimately improve you. It seems that by simply experiencing more and living your
>life, you continue to grow in power, both physically and spiritually.
>This is not to say you grow stronger by simply aging, or that by sequestering yourself in a cave and
>“experiencing” the flow of time that you grow. Rather by living your life, by making mistakes, false starts,
>having joys and sorrows and triumphs and simply living like a (relatively) normal person, your power will
>grow along with you.
>If you are particularly long lived and are able to remain grounded in the lives of humans or other like
>minded peers, your power could become... quite substantial. Living like this for a few hundred millennia
>might even let you reach the power level of beings who could forge stars or birth planets.
Generic Xianxia has that, or you could go full Mystical Being and just eat elements, and/or concepts for powers.

Naruto: Sage Mode, Eight Gates, Tailed Beast cloaks, maybe Sage of the Six Paths chakra?
Bleach: Bankai, Resurreccion, Vollstandig, Fullbring can count but it depends on what yours does.
Showa Kamen Rider Part 1: Charge Up (?)
Franken Fran: One of the... Experiment? Monster? Whatever it was called- capstones.
Dragonball: Super Saiyan, Giant Namekian, that thing Cooler did when he turned into Shredder, that thing some Demons do where they turn into gods again, Perfection.

...I guarantee you there are more but I am drawing a blank.

Make a garden.

Grow your own drugs. Ethical drugs.

How often do you Jumpers go edge lord, and if so how far do you embrace the edges?

It's all just chemicals, my dude.

>Living Saint
A textbook answer, but an acceptable one nonetheless.

>Grow ethical drugs
Skip the middleman and just steal SCP 420-j.
Or just be a tech jumper at that point.

I can cut butter just by walking in a room.

But only if I'm feeling particularly cross, mind.

Given what I know of Chinese, I think it’s some like Shan-she.
Or maybe Shan-shu.
Or possibly shun-she

...

Jumper gets really stressed out when they snap at someone, I don't think they're going to go edgy in the near future.

Chin-chin, it's some weird thing about consonants that doesn't translate well into English.

Is it edgy if you're picking off the villains one by one in freeze-frame bonus shots?

Pretty much that exactly. You meditate or do a specific thing over and over and you slowly get permanent gains over a long period of time. Or you explode. Or you bleed from everything and turn inside out. Or your blood erupts and flows the wrong direction. It can go bad in a lot of ways.

But the gist of it is purifying your body via merging it with your spirit and making it more powerful with the goal of power and immortality through meditating on something.

Also drug abuse. Fucking enough drugs to make doomrider say "Hold on a sec bro"

Sometimes they meditate on certain parts of realiry and gain control of it, sometimes not.

Also drugs.

Like even the kids are given drugs.

Only the poor dont take drugs, only because they cant afford it.

You've been waiting to post that, haven't you?

>Chin-chin
Isn't that slang for balls?

It is a joke, I thought it meant penis.

youtu.be/0S3aH-BNf6I

are chemicals even real?

>I can cut butter just by walking in a room.

that's pretty hardcore

>I don't think they're going to go edgy in the near future.
what about far future?

>Is it edgy if you're picking off the villains one by one in freeze-frame bonus shots?
dunno famalamartini, just wear something nice

It's basically this but Chinese.

What is that list even from? I mean, it's topical, but it seems like a strange list to be compiled by the kind of person who says "ppl".

Also, to answer your question, I'm as edgy as can be in my actions, but personality-wise, I pride myself as being a pretty chill and cheery jumper.

I body-horror-ify myself and others at absolutely any chance, just for the style, and I kill, eat, and torture humans quite a bit, usually just curious to see how far I'm willing to go.

I kinda have Beatrice's whole complex from Umineko, where I don't really see anything wrong with doing fucked up shit as long as I don't cause any permanent damage. Though, thankfully, I have the decency to get rid of people's memories once I'm done mutilating them.

I try not to be edgy at all.

But according to literally everybody else I'm edgier than a razorblade factory.
... So to answer your question: I'M NOT SURE.

...

Is there anything that lets a weapon duplicate itself in combat without weakening it or it's copies?

So if I finished a jump, I change it to pdf right?

Yep.

>>
Once I do change it to a pdf though, the pdf version won't open on the place I typed it, is that right?

And then post it in-thread, for critique. Putting it straight on the drive will get you no end of shit.

No, make a webm the scrolls through the pages.

PDFs are a pain to edit, if that's what you mean. Keep a copy of the original document so you can make fixes or updates easily.

This is a different user from the one who initially asked, but what's a good entry-level Xianxia?

With how many anime and manga I insist on shoving on my plate, I hardly have the time to be reading dozens of massive fucking novels, but this also sounds like something so surreal that I have to see it for myself. It doesn't necessarily have to be small, I just want one that perfectly crystallizes all the insanity I'm picking up in the thread discussions, so I at least walk away with the gist of everything Xianxia has to offer.

Ok so now I am an amoral arrogant asshole who cannot lie, has a bunch of magic folks trying to kill me, and who may or may not be batshit insane (Currently am batshit insane)

Plus side, I wont be bringing the sect into this world.

Minus side is I am currently taking my moral ques from the denarius fallen angel using my brain as her penthouse. She has gotten better since haruhi 6 jumps ago, but Im not sure if she even cares about other humans or just me and my people, she was all about greed and arrogance so I might be helping her backslide on this one.

Is this what being a fae is like? Beimg a hyper charged magical power, never lieing, being arrogant and taking pleasure when others struggle in pain before you? I do not think I like it, I do not want to admit that it is fun seeing them squirm from within the confines of the spells I place upon them. I should see about buying some debts while here, surely the demons have some outstanding loans they have not claimed.

I am going to need a LOT of therapy after this jump to get back to not thinking like a fae demon. What is a good jump for therapy?

You have brought color to my Deku folder, there's only a handful of gray pics left because of these now.

Peerless Martial God.

It is everything bad about Xianxia.

>playing embedded movies to illustrate what the perks do
Buddy.

You're not supposed to give genuinely great suggestions.

Hope you guys can see it.....

This post wasn't worded very clearly, are you talking about how sometimes the words will be slightly out of place compared to when you were working on it? Like everything is shifted a few lines up compared to when you typed it?

>What is that list even from? I mean, it's topical, but it seems like a strange list to be compiled by the kind of person who says "ppl".

Some people discussing Debiruman Kuraibebi on twitter

>But according to literally everybody else I'm edgier than a razorblade factory.
y tho?

No, i meant like you're using microsoft and you're trying to upload the pdf into microsoft
it doesn't work

Hell yeah, I always wanted a jump to here. Reading it now.

By the way, uploaded Soul land...........

graphic sex is edge lordy? is the writer a virgin?

World of Cultivation is a good one with a decent mc, Upgrade specialist in another world has a good guy mc and is good, battle through the heavens is ok and has a manga and a show, each one has a different end point in power.

Btth seems ro cap at cities, upgrade slecialist Im unsure of, WoC maxxes out at country busting under certain circumstances (or at least thats what I understand as jies have been shown to be around country sized with some bigger and some smaller and current bad guy is pulling a frieza on namek)

FUCK IF I KNOW

>that pic
We need a Dungeon Meshi jump.

What new jumps do you guys want?

I deleted it because the old thread was still up at the time.

>taking my moral ques from the denarius fallen angel using my brain as her penthouse

Something about taking moral advise from a denarius angel just seems like a horrifically bad idea.

I'm still reading it, but I can already tell that there are a few spots where you could have formatted just a bit better.

The immediately visible one is that all the spirit lists are a bit hard to read, I'd recommend spacing them out just a little bit. It'll add to the length, but I think it'd be an appreciated change. Also, the reincarnated origin is the only one with the description on the same row as the origin name.

This is mainly me, but I think the "1000cp", could stand to be just a few font sizes smaller. I see what you're going for, but it's kinda excessive.

Sorry if I'm being a nit-picky motherfucker out the gate, I just couldn't tell if you planned to upload it right away, so I thought it was best to say all this now.

>see it.....
Come now, turn those ellipses upside down. Hold your head high and laugh madly into the thread.

How am I doing at this whole moral support thing?

Not like I am in the right frame of mind there user but I agree. Though she was probably right there screaming in my head as I got tortured too,I been trying to therapy her and use humanity is infectious from haruhi to make her a decent person. It was coming along good. I even occasionally let her come out in an insubstantial spirit form to talk too! But in this situation? Shes probably saner than me.

You should detail what the Spirit Beasts actually are and the rules on making your own. I have no idea what any of that means.

Basically the same for that spirit and domain stuff. What does any of this mean? I haven't read the story, the jump gives pretty much no info or context.

Your perks are mostly severely lacking in detail on what they do and how good they are.

The 1000 cp perks mostly seem pretty poor.

Reincarnated's 400 perk is both far too meta and is pretty useless for it's price. Reincarnated's 1000 perk is an utter joke and is far too strong. Just get rid of it cause you're not going to be able to balance it.

Spirit Soul kind of outlines one of the big issues this jump has again. It throws a bunch of terms at me and I don't know what any of them mean. What I do come away thinking is that it seems like a much better version of the first 1000 perk.

>Blacksmith 1000
Why do you put so much stuff based on other jumps into your perks? This really feels like the only reason it's this highly priced is just because of how good it is in other worlds.

>Spirit Thief
Why does this greatly expand in use post jump? Stealing spirits and souls seems to apply just as well in other settings, why does it need to expand to cover all powers?

>Title God
What does this mean?

>Genderbend
Does this have any basis in the setting or is this a personal fetish you're shoving in?

Your drawbacks give way too many points. A lot of them are completely redundant too. What is stopping me from taking most of the 1000+ drawbacks, since the highest priced one makes everyone come after me anyway and letting me actually end up with 4-5000 more CP?
Basically user, the jump is incredibly messy. You need to put a lot more effort into explaining all the terms and concepts you use properly, you need to cut quite a bit of the meta shit out entirely, you need to properly balance a lot of this stuff and you need to explain this stuff. Repeating for importance.

Please don't. It has not yet been accepted and there are SEVERE issues with it.

Ok I love it but it needs a lot of fluff, also some things like blacksmith need a nerf.

Twisted Metal.
Re:Zero.
40k Orks.
40k CSM.
A proper WW2 jump.
Breath of the Wild.
Fire Emblem Warriors.
Hyrule Warriors.
Still waiting on that PMC jump, user.

IIRC the hellsing jump is based on the manga/ultimate.

However the original anime (the one that diverged from the manga a lot) had a few interesting things.
Would any of them be useful to a jumper or to you?
I am mainly talking about incognito's stuff. Since I think everything else appears in the original version.
Stuff like his magic powers, the grenade launcher, and the ritual to summon sett.

This looks like a WIP, not a finished jump. I don't understand what most of the perks and items and races and shit, even origins and drawbacks are giving me or doing to me. Most people aren't going to have read this story and you need to account for that.

Also that 1000cp perk for Reincarnated is the most bullshit perk I've ever seen

See

Roblox

Awesome, was asking about this the other day. Going to read it now,thanks friend.

This is fucking trash my dude.
>that fucking 1000cp reincarnated perk

Someone's working on a Pathfinder jump right? Because that's something I've wanted for a while.

Also Black Crusade, TOR, Orks, Necron, Space Hulk, and Pokemon: Sun & Mon.

Got it off twitter

Graphic depictions of sex usually garner stricter ratings due to content unsuitable for those below a certain age. Edge lords tend to gravitate towards anything that they think would be challenging or mature and cool. "If it's unsuitable for little kids then it has to be cool." There's nothing inherently edgy about things like black clothes, just like there's nothing inherently edgy about sex. It's how these things are wielded by edge lords that make them edgy.

>Have you ever wanted to be someone, but couldn't? Well, take this perk and now you can! Now, you can choose to self-insert yourself as anyone in the world when choosing an origin. The one you choose will now be your new origin. You will gain everything they have. Unfortunately, this means you will also gain any bad things they have. Luckily, for you, when you are choosing who you want to become as your new origin, you can remove anything you want from the one you will become. But, there is a limit to this inserting. You cannot insert yourself as the main protagonist, anyone already dead when you entered the jump, gods, and omnipotent beings. Also, the self-insert you choose will become a new alt-form each time.
Jesus

>Blood Devastation.
I always forget we have NGNL, thanks for this.

Oh, this is good stuff. Thanks for these.

>Cooler did when he turned into Shredder
I have never heard it described that way before, it is quite amusing.

>...I guarantee you there are more but I am drawing a blank.
This is one reason why I asked as I could not think of any myself.

Thanks. I'll fix the problems. Also, by uploaded, I meant to this thread. Sorry, if that sounded wrong.
Genderbend-Some people are into that. That's why I put it into there. The drawback that's not genderbend came from this idea.

Thanks for checking it. I'm still in the process of changing the stuff

Well, thought it might match Mainly since it's something that happens in most Xianxia stories.

Gonna change tons of stuff in it.

Yeah. It's a WIP. Sorry, if that's not posted

Gonna change it. But, I felt it matches Xianxia stories. Either way, this is just a wip.

Give suggestions on changes. Needs quite a lot. Might be too overpowered? Idk

Needs a lot of work my man, nice to see you trying. Maybe ask for some advice here and the irc. Keep trying, I suggest dumping and nerfing the high price stuff and not using anything out of this jumps setting for perks.

Underdark and Sun/Moon pls.

Thanks. Suggest things guys!

Please remove the genderbend stuff then. If it isn't based on something in the canon, it should not be in your jump. Please do so with everything that's not canon to the series or based on canon at least, so we don't have to point out every instance.

I want one so bad, I know that it will never leave hiatus because the publisher went bankrupt and the author I think got stuck in the hospital. So I can atleast play around with a Jump of it. Plus an intelligent shapeshifting and completely loyal sword is always great.

>But, I felt it matches Xianxia stories. Either way, this is just a wip.

Here is the thing if you are making a jump, make it for this story not things general to the genre. If the story has no basis please dont add it.

OMG. I LOVED THAT MANGA. FUNNY TOO.

Damn. Tell me earlier. HAHAHAHA. Maybe it'll be a good one for a Generic Self-Insert Jump?

>I meant to this thread

Ah, a simple mistake. Still, a bit of advice for the future, just to be safe, people tend to say "posted" when they're just talking about leaving it in the thread, and only say "upload" in reference to the drive.

Not him but, what if the reincarnation happens in chapter 1?

Are you...okay dude?

Continuing again from the last thread! I've done some work on Skills since then, here's the current version. Primarily looking for any advice on Skills and Items right now.

Tomorrow I'm going to start reworking Starships. And that one is going to be a doozy.

Whoops, thanks for pointing that one out. And I figured that there were some items or races that, in a jump where a good deal of the combat is going to be space-based, there are some advantages that don't really help.

That being said, they DO still help. This was originally intended to be just the X-Wing books, and then I realized that somehow the conflicts from those books only took a couple of years.

Yeah. Why ask?

No offense, OAA, but you need to fuck off.

Also, when people say you're edgy, they mean you're an edgy writer, not an edgy jumper. Like a combination of Urobutcher and Garth Ennis if both of them were solidly less-than-mediocre authors.

I should really keep a copy of my list around so I don't have to retype this every time.

Working on it my good man. System Shock 2 is working the kinks loose and I plan to spend at least part of tomorrow cranking out more races for Underdark.

Here you go again, trying to smear complete strangers as this one person you just hate immensely.

This distaste isn't healthy, dude.

>Debiruman Kuraibebi

What the hell is this? I googled it on a whim, and the only search result was this very thread.

Clearly, we need the other hero shooters. Paladins must come to fruition.

>it's another "we'll accuse everyone of being the author I hate" episode
Holy shit you're annoying.

We already have two of those.
