So are Angels all lawful good or something? If I choose to be one, and be unambiguously Good, but also very Chaotic, how are people/angels going to react to that?

>>47865564
It got posted here awhile back. Got panned for any number of reasons, leading to it getting rejected and Babylon picking it up. Most notably it doesn't cap Essence (6+ charms are obscenities, by the time you hit 10 you're throwing around ridiculous perfect conceptual bs by so much as breathing), is dry as the Sahara flavor wise, stole at least one perk from Forgotten Realms (Experience Like a River), barely tries to balance the options, and arbitrarily groups exaltation types together for perk lines. For instance Sidereal and Lunars share a line. Babylon meanwhile is going full Warhammer Fantasy, with each individual exaltation having a perk line. He might've improved it some since it was posted here but a quick glance shows little improvement, and a lot of piling more crap on. Here's the archives of the thread it was posted in:
http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/46672845/#46675908
Seriously, just wait for the one from Babylon, he looks like he actually knows what he's doing and isn't making a mib tier jump.

Angels in Innistrad are Good, not always Lawful Good.
Most Angels in MtG are Good of various flavors. There are a few who are Neutral or Evil though.


Avacyn is Waifu Tier
Nahiri is a massive bitch

>>47866234
Also don't forget the SB Exalted allowed for Alchemical Exalted creation by Jumper, when LITERALLY ONLY AUTOCHTHON has the authority for that.

And he justified it with Young Justice.

I know of gittrog he has death touch, this is a lot scarier than it appears, so I feel keeping my powers and helping the lady angel there is my best bet instead of megatoad fighting.

I cannot express how much I enjoy this jump.

Not taking avacyn with me though, she belongs here. I need to see if I can learn some of that rotspeak sorin has in the books.

Its a reference to a meme started by Super Best Friends, which originally started as this image
>>
>>47866315
It involves some guy named John Constantine or something. If I'm remembering wrong I suggest Food Fight.
>>
>>47866332
That was various Planeswalkers during Time Spiral, Nahiri wasn't even a character back then.
>>
>>47866223
nahiri basically screwed an entire world in a year she can work stone to control magical flow seal eldrich abominations and make incredible weapons and has the mental discipline to map her entire world from memory. also pretty nice person if you put the effort in in the hellvault to not have her alone for 1000 years.

avacyn is a super angel thats probably closer to a minor god and thinks in a really alien manner she gets on well with children because they are pure and uncomplicated and doesn't like smiling even when she is in fact satisfied.

angels are not unambigously good though they tend that way to the extreme they all went nuts when nahiri messed up the plane and they tend to order and community as white magic beings.

Don't you have like 50 waifus?

i'll give it

Could I use the Dark Wisdom perk from Overlord to eventually train up to 5 Arcanum in each category in the Mage: the Awakening jump?
>>
>>47866616
twice peak human strength +silence field
>>
>>47866650
Regularly training Arcanum + having a fuckboatload of time ought to be of help enough, but Dark Wisdom will definitely reduce the amount of time needed.
>>
>>47866662
I think people asked if silence field is anti-magic or anti-speech
>>
>>47866677
I thought that regularly with 5 gnosis (which is the max), you could only reach 5 in three Arcana?
>>
>>47866689
How many Arcana are there though
>>
>>47866701
10: Death, Fate, Forces, Life, Matter, Mind, Prime, Space, Spirit, and Time
>>
>>47866685
oh christ did i miss something. noise only silence like nightgaunts.
>>
>>47866549
Is there even a Lilo and Stitch Jump?
>>
>>47866701
Ten.

If the jumpmaker had capped it at Mastery there'd be no problem, but they capped Gnosis which has all sorts of run on effects, including being unable to get the third attainments from legacies. They're then making some way to get around that for a DLC. A lot of work for such an easy fix.

Seriously, all they had to do was disallow archmastery and the jump would have been fine.
Also, why is the jump in the imageless folder? Didn't the jumpmaker upload it there without posting it to the thread?
>>
>>47866724
There's not a Lilo and Stich jump, but I guess you could use the Disney Princess jump if you wanted. Choosing Stitch, who's from a scifi-ish story, in one of the positions could make a nice contrast if all the other characters are from magic based settings.

Or someone could just make a Lilo and Stich jump if they wanted. Could be fun. Maybe drawing on the animated series if they're having trouble coming up with stuff from just the movie or the sequel.
>>
>>47866911
Until someone here makes a better Mage The Awakening jump, it's all we have.

and besides, ASA made a build for it. For most of the people here who worship him, that validates the jump.
>>
>>47866911
>>47866927
The thread in general was in favor of it being allowed after looking at it. Though I think you're just the same guy stirring shit and attacking a name so this is pointless.
>>
>>47866650
Probably not since the cap on gnosis is jump fiat.
>>
>>47866918
There's also the anime series.
>>
>>47866911
Yeah, that would have been the better answer.

Also it was uploaded here. I think they did limit the times you can take the 'stay here' drawback though.

It's a pretty good jump, so I think it's staying. If he tries to update it again without going through thread I don't think that'll fly though.

Also, we had shitposters going on about it for a while then when things calmed down people seemed fine with it. Please don't try to stir up that argument again.

If you're gonna call me a shitposter, at least place me on a higher calibre of shitposting.

>>47867011
Scatovore has been haunting us since the Hitman Reborn Jump. If anything you're a petty imitation - a tiny turd totem before the idol that is our god of shit.
>>
>>47866725
I'd wank until the DLC comes out that you can reach third attainment anyway. That's really the only major thing that Gnosis 5 messes up badly. The lack of 6+ attributes doesn't really matter for a jumper, 7 spells active at once before getting into minor pool penalties isn't a particularly hard cap, and the cap also serves to make it so you actually have to prioritize Arcana instead of having all but two at 5.
>>
>>47866955
I was thinking that Dark Wisdom would let you learn spells (does MtAw use spells? If not, Arcana) that you'd reguarly need >5 gnosis for.
>>
So, ladies, gentlemen, jumpers.
Now that I have the ability to Create an Avacyn-tier Angel once per Jump to act as a Protector, and Hero of Justice, I got to thinking.
How will some worlds react to this being?

Resident Evil?
A Song of Ice and Fire?
Doom?

>>
>>47867053
The limit on Arcana dots is explicitly impossible to circumvent. Might help you some with creating rotes without mastery though. Rotes for reference turn spells into Attribute+Skill+Gnosis instead of just Arcana+Gnosis. They're especially handy for jumpers considering most jumpers have absurd stats.

I don't know, but I suspect it has something to do with /b/ and goatse, someone should invent a time machine and preform research.

>>47867283
Angel Perk is still lacking its' name and 1000CP price tag
>>
>>47867352
Yes. Not recalling any that do it passively, but I think Ranma has one that lets you know where to stand to avoid the fallout of stuff you aren't involved in. Might be misremembering, but there's at least two perks like that somewhere.

Beyond that, crazy regen?
>>
>>47867283
You might want to give some other items to the non-vampire backgrounds, maybe one thing? They get the Silver Dagger which werewolves wouldn't like, while Vampires get a weapon and armor free.

Maybe a pendant of Avacyn with a bit of protection in it? Also do you need to buy a land in order to use Angel powers?
>>
>>47867352
Naruto has one. It keeps you from dying in anticlimactic manner, so I'd say getting vaporised for being in the wrong spot would qualify.

When I first read the LoT jumps, I thought Cultist Chan is just annoying and is dumb. I imagined her in fantasy cultist robes and such.

other mtg jumps will give other lands. lands have a set price because they have add on effects and carry through jumps. ay add the other dual colour combos in an update after eldrich moon.

>>47867787
I mean do you need one that gives White mana to use your Angel powers, to do things like Blessing and Warding, or pass the 'energy' along to do the same with the capstone?

I was also meaning if I can have them appear in new jumps in the one spot. I don't care if you can't and know there's no distance on it, I'm just curious if you don't buy any lands do you have no mana/magic at all? If that's the case you might want to give one free just so they can actually use their magics, like the story capstone if you need to have a blue land.

I think the closest LOTR would have to a Mary Sue, given the original meaning that required both (1) perfect/idealized character and (2) young or low-ranking person with unrealistic abilities would be, and the current meaning that seems to be basically "this is the author's wish-fullfilling self-insert"...

Hmm. Frodo? Aragorn? Legolas? Samwise? Tom Bombadil? Do any of them really fit?
>>
>>47868538
Do you know how Christian heaven is actually described in the Bible? It's sitting around in a boring, static dimension, doing nothing but praising god 24/7 while feeling enforced rapture. It's hellish.

And the Elves can claim humans are favored of Eru, but at the end of the day elves are given all the gifts. All of them. In every single way they are vastly superior to humans, and this is supposed to be counterbalanced by humans dying faster, of all things.

>>47868569
The original meaning is solely for bad self-inserts. Tolkien's self-insert is Beren, who himself isn't a particularly bad character, he's not perfect and unflawed.

Correction: Elves do not know what happens to them when Arda dies. Only humans were promised to be part of the next world, Elves don't know. They however have faith that they will, and get to be superior to humans in the next world and everything. This trusting faith is obviously meant to mirror a good Christian's towards God. And considering who Tolkien was, I doubt very much that he would've wanted the elves to have seriously died with Arda.

Jumpers a question I have for you. What do you think of Immortality? Is it a blessing or a curse to you?
Don't you think that seeing those you have bonds with grow old and die while you say the same as a horrible way to live? Those that stood by you disappearing one by one because of disease, battle, leaving you for their own path, or perhaps the sands of time took them.
Or do you see it as a opportunity? Being able to live and see how you could change the world or experience all that the world has to offer and whatever the future holds. Perhaps being a person who keeps records of all the humanity had to offer to show to the future generations.
Sorry if this sounds like some stupid first year psych student bullshit I am just curious on how living for so long could still appeal to some Jumpers.

Well, the fact that I move onto a new world every decade certainly helps. It's rare that I'm in a jump long enough to see people die of old age.

The only reason they didn't get mind-controlled by their rings was because theirs weren't made by Sauron. And they still had to hide them because Celebrimbor cribbed off Sauron's notes so if the latter got a good enough look he could hijack them.

You're digging the whole deeper anon.
>>
>>47868906
Of course it would be while delivering presents in Kung Fury. Why wouldn't it be?
>>
>>47868865
I see it as an opportunity, seeing as I can change countless worlds in different ways, read every book in all of them, develop skills to their logical extreme, and create new works to improve peoples lives. I couldn't do any of that if I lived a normal 80-100 Year life. It probably helps that I never really easily related to people or made connections with them in the first place, and the person I spend the most/ any significant amount of time in is just as if not more immortal. Not to mention my allies probably won't permanently succumb to any of those if they do not wish to, since the earlier mentioned companion is the Maid of Life/ A Cleric/ Level One Hundred + Realm of Heroes Divine Caster, and I pass out Symbiotes like candy on Halloween. Of course, if someone I like finds dying to be their best option, I won't take that from them.
>>
>>47868865
It's a thing, preferable to the alternative regardless of any opportunity. I've never seen losing people to be more traumatic than my memories of those people being beneficial. I've never found the downsides of Immortality to be so great as many other people seem to in the first place. So regardless of the entire, not dying aspect, it comes out a positive on basically all counts in the first place.
>>
>>47868865
Immortality is a curse if you have no one to share it with
>>
>>47868865
Anon, I'm a bit of dino, so I've had a few people leave or die on me long before I even started jumping. And I think you're kind of looking at it the wrong way. RL has plenty of ways to off you before you can get bored, without you having much say n the matter. Jumping on the other hand not only gives you perks to resist being offed, it gives you more opportunities to avoid being bored, and the cherry on top is the possibility of being able to share some of that - including immunity to age and disease, and even coming back from death itself - with those you love back home.
>>
Jumpers! For those of you who've jumped LoTR, how many of you yoinked the Arkenstone? A show of hands everyone.

Myself, I took Steven Universe right after, and what do you know, I have a very fancy jewel lying around...
>>
>>47868865
Immortality is only a curse when you have nothing new to experience or no goals to achieve. With the infinite variety of worlds open to a jumper this is never a problem. There is always something new to discover, someone new to meet, someone stronger to fight, and the challenge of the obtaining the spark to drive you on when you're feeling lost.

As for people dying or being left behind the greatest lesson of the jump chain is that the joy is in the journey. Their journey may intersect with mine for a time, and I may be able to completely change their life for good or bad with my power, but it is not my place to take away the joys of challenge and personal attainment by simply giving them everything they wanted. It is their life to live and I can only hope that my part in it made things more interesting for them.

The only issues are it is easy to lose your sense of self when you get entirely new memories from different a personality uploaded most every jump, and when the people you meet would literally die of old age before they can listen to all of your adventures and comprehend your character in a meaningful fashion it is hard to have meaningful relationships. Companions are a thing though and thank the Benefactor for that.

It won't sadden me to see friends and family go, as long as they had full, joyous lives and accomplished everything they wished. Most people I meet don't wish to live forever. Those that do I will offer the cursed blessing.

With an infinite amount of time, I can do truly limitless amounts of things, and help an infinite number of other people.
I could compose a wealth of knowledge that has never been witnessed before or since.
I could create works so great that my name will be forever spoken in hushed tones, at the marvel of my craftsmanship.

But those are just the carrots in this situation.
The stick is that I'm unsure of what would happen to me if I died at this point. My soul and metaphysical makeup, in addition to the questionable things I've done, make it a real puzzle of where I would go. On the off chance that I may be facing oblivion or eternal suffering, the prospect of dying is a completely unacceptable.

tl;dr
Immortality is awesome and sucks at the same time.
I'd give immortality to people I care about who want it.
I'm scared of dying.

Nah, I'd lost my magpie tendencies by the time I jumped LOTR. Took holos though.

There's also the possibility, at least in the books, that it could be a Silmaril, in which case it /might/ be needed at the end of the world to restore the light of Arda depending on whether you accept the prophecies as canon and valid. I wouldn't want "doomed a universe because I was greedy" as a legacy.

You fear the grim reaper Anon?

KOTOR, how far can the normal teleport from Teen Titans go? Not the Cambion one, the one in the thief perk tree?

It says "any location you can picture in your mind." Would that include Mars? Alpha Centauri? Other Galaxies as long as I have some way of learning about them?

>>47869054
I did. I yoikned so much glitter from there. Dwarves and Elves both hated me, because all their things were mine.
>>
>>47869136
I don't Fear the Reaper.
Scared off what comes after, anon.
If it's hell or oblivion, I want no part of it. Not when I could be helping someone or making something fantastic.
>>
>>47869088
That bothers me too anon. There's a perk in the Redwall jump called "I Am That Is" that may give you some closure . It gives you ancestral spirit guides in every jump you visit but most importantly is the last part.

"Finally, should you ever die once and for all (whether valiantly in defense of the innocent or
peacefully in your sleep), a fragment of your spirit will live on in each world you have visited, to guide and advise other warriors for truth and justice... and, perhaps, to grant them access some shadow of your vast powers."

>"Aww, you poor thing."

>"H-huh?"

>"All you wanted to do was help, wasn't it? Spread a little love, a little cheer, make everyone feel all nice and fuzzy inside? Too bad about those Nazi aircraft, hm? Your sleigh shot right out of the sky, and Santa crashed down to earth for all to see."

>"Who. Who are you?"

>"Ah. Pardon me. I've forgotten to introduce myself. My name is 'J.' My sister has interfered long enough - but in the end, I've beaten her."

>"You. You're the one Chuu warned me about!"

>"Oh. That cat? Ha! It's cute how he thinks he can oppose me. The fat man, too. Listen. I came to offer you a deal."

>"...uh?"

>"You like this, don't you? Going from world to world, seeing new sights, meeting new people. You'd love to keep doing that, wouldn't you? I could help. I could... overlook this little accident. But I'll need something in exchange. Nothing you need, anyway."

>"What would that be?"

>"Oh, just a paltry little thing. You certainly didn't start out needing a soul. I'm sure you'll manage without it."

>"...my soul?"

>"Oh, yes. Without your friends. Without your emotions. Without your soul. Surely you could survive without those trinkets?"

>"...no."

>"What?"


>"You heard me. I said no."

>"Hm. How odd. I was sure someone like you would understand what will happen if you don't accept this deal. You do remember where you came from, don't you?"

>"That doesn't change anything."

>"A shame, really. You were such a pretty doll, too. But... nobody has any use for a Doll who talks back. I wanted to play with you a little longer, really, I did! But you're... B R O K E N ."

The anime, mostly because that's what I'm most familiar with. However there are some references to the manga included so far. I'm planning on rereading the manga over the next day or two along with watching the movie for some added inspiration. I've got five pages so far but I still need a lot of perks.

Don't worry, if it's a Silmaril it'll burn anon with holy light for not being pure of purpose. Pretty sure greed is part of why the Noldor were cursed so. That and kinslaying, but the kinslaying was motivated by greed so it all ties together.

... And then what?

And then what!?

Just one jump before bed tonight, but I feel good about it.

>Jump 54: Dresden Files
>The Hermit, reversed (Concealment, disguise, and unreasoned caution.)
Hey, I'm pretty sure telling people I'm a jumper means the whole world is brought down on my head. This caution is ENTIRELY reasoned.
>Age: 24
>Location: Chicago
>Identity: Sorcerer (-100)
White Council? No thanks, I'm good.

>Drawbacks: (+700)
>The Hex (-100)
It's a damn good thing revolvers worked during the Civil War era, but otherwise... yeah, this is going to be a jump where I'm going to find a nice cabin on the edge of town and live like an eccentric. The only way I'm going to get around quickly is teleporting, though. No flying around in power armor this time around.
>Female Gaze (-100)
I can live with having a soft spot for women, as long as it means that I can deal with them once they show their true colors.
>...And It Wasn't My Fault (-100)
I'm a jumper. Collateral damage is second nature. This is what repair spells are for, right? ...what do you mean, it won't work on electric devices more complex than a telegraph during this jump?
>Faerie Debt (-200)
Hooray, I get to get three wishes from my fairy godmother! ...give. You meant give. Damn it.
>Death Curse (-200)
Well, it's better than Mab figuring out I'm an outsider. This, coupled with the Hex, is going to mean bad luck all around. That's okay. It'll make my time here interesting. In the sort of way that people say "may you live in interesting times".

>Somewhere, a fire is lit. A flask glows yellow, due to the syrupy substance inside.

>Somewhere, a blade attached to a microphone stand floats in the water. A black-haired girl picks it up, not knowing to whom it belongs.

>Somewhere, deep in a great tomb, a suit of armor clatters to the ground. The tomb's master looks on with some confusion.

>Somewhere, a gauntlet falls from the sky, clutching a flag closely. Creatures resembling potatoes with faces and limbs look at the torn banner and weep.

>Somewhere, a sword falls from the sky. A dragon looks upon it with some disdain.

>Somewhere, a young girl with pink hair finds a murky crystal. She has a look at it, curious as to its purpose. If only she knew.

>Somewhere, a bucket falls on the head of a sleeping comedian. He opens his eyes briefly - and realizes one more thing he'd done paid off, if only briefly.

>Somewhere, a long pole falls into the hands of a girl in a white dress. She begins to cry.

>Somewhere, a box of donuts lands on a table in front of a man in a red coat. He smiles grimly.

>Somewhere, a boy finds a broken mirror on the ground. Some sense of the reason must reach him - as he buries the shards and places a flower atop the grave.

>Somewhere, the cry of a bird is heard. An old machine, somewhat like a cellular phone, hands from a cord around its neck.

>Somewhere, a creature coos sadly. The lab-coated men examining it cannot discern why.

>Somewhere, an egg hatches, and a gout of fire greets a face it can never touch.

>Somewhere, a dead man laments the loss of a friend. An icy chill descends upon him as he stares down a winged woman in ornate armor.

>Somewhere, a soldier finds a broken, burnt chestplate and a shotgun on the ground. He roars in rage - before turning back to the enemies he has gone to slay.

>Somewhere, an arrangement of flowers wilts, unnoticed by a young man and his students.

>Somewhere, a small village holds a funeral in an abandoned demesne in the forest.

>Magic 101 (Free, Sorcerer)
Well, if I'm going to be breaking anything more complex than a steam train or a semiautomatic rifle just by being too close, I may as well get the benefit from doing so, eh?
>The Sight (Free, Sorcerer
I already commit literally everything I see to memory. Eidetic memory is not always a blessing. But it makes the Sight less a curse.
>Clued In (Free, Sorcerer)
Fortunately, this comes with the knowledge of (some) things that I need to know as a sorcerer.
>Power to Burn (1450, Sorcerer)
Knowing is half the battle. 25% of the remaining half is having the ability to fight, and to fight harder.
>Refined Spellcasting (1300, Sorcerer)
The other 25% is being able to fight smarter.
>Soul Source (1000, Sorcerer)
The other other 25% is to go EVEN FURTHER BEYOND.
>Job Offer (400)
The OTHER other other 25% is to find someone to hang out with. Speaking of which: "Hey Loki, how's it going? Boy, have I got a deal for you..."
>Stars and Stones (0)
"How would you like to not have to worry about your power being reduced by lack of worshippers? I mean... you won't get stronger without worshippers, but at least you won't get weaker, yeah?"
>Best Ale in Chicago (Free, Sorcerer)
"Now about about we sit back, have a couple of beers, and then I go stir up some shit? There's this floating city that just appeared over Lake Michigan..."

As far as Job Offer in future jumps... I definitely plan on using it to grant others positions as my Emissaries. For now, well, I’m an agent of chaos. Nothing new about that!
>>
>>47869320
What a strange build.

>>47869331
Speaking of cities that appear over Lake Michigan: yes, Carcosa is now floating over Lake Michigan. The joys of using magic to cloak the city means that no one who doesn't have their own supernatural abilities can detect it, because during Sword and Sorcery I realized what a horrible idea it is to have everyone see it from the start. And I don't even visit it very often, I'm just... a temporary ambassador. It's basically following me around and doing nothing except being neat, but there is a LOT of fast talking that has to be done out of the gate to keep people from magically nuking it.

Speaking of temporary ambassadors, Loki may be much diminished in power, but there are enough crazies who worship that particular pantheon to give him SOME measure of power, even if it is a shadow of what it once was. Having someone who can break the rules like that? Well, as long as he doesn't stir up too much, it won't be too bad. Considering his behavior, he was probably part of the Winter court to begin with, so it's no surprise that favors are owed there. Hopefully breaking that rule for him will be the first of the three favors, since going that far is too much to expect from a mere servant.

Honestly... a lot of what I'll be doing is subtle nudges. Saving a couple lives here, making a few werewolves have optional transformations there, and... well. Testing my revolver on Outsiders. Revolvers worked just fine in the Civil War, after all. Even if I have to live in a cabin in the woods otherwise, to avoid breaking things all around me.

And god help anyone who points any weapon more advanced than a revolver or a lever action rifle at me. The Hex has its upsides. And man, I am DEFINITELY keeping this for later use. Can you imagine using the Hex in any high tech setting? In fact, I'm going to save this for Star Wars, I want to see the look on the face of a sith when their lightsaber fizzles and dies.
