Jumpers, have you ever made any cool robot friends? Or cool robot enemies?
FOOLISH JUMPERS! When you were THROWN into the future where my EVIL is LAW, what alignment was your MAGICAL SWORD unable to harm!
>>46070031
Neutral.

I mean I have anyway, but I have an AI as a companion

Thanks thread, and IRC, for forcing this Waifu upon me.
>>46070144
Wonder what she looks like under the paper bag.
>>46070172
She let me see once.
I still haven't recovered.And then we fucked

Kinky.
>>46069986
Made a few in the Blame! jump, SOMA, and plenty of others, especially once I could wake up machine's spirits.
What type of clothes do you wear, Jumpers?
>>46070315
Due to the sheer number of drawbacks that made me scantily clad. I hardly wear anything. Like one time I spent fighting bad guys in Indiana Jones in nothing but boxers and a wife beater. I almost never really cared about what I wore. But when I did I usually asked my companions for fashion advice.
I often side step it by being a form that benefits from having little clothing.
>>46070315
Mainly sporting a kimono when I'm not dressed in my Sororitas power armor.
I've got a Kitsune theme going on at the moment, so thats my excuse for sliding the weeaboo up to 11.
>>46070435
Slut.
>>46070498
No need to be so rude.
>>46070506
Just calling it as I see it
>>46070031
No alignment. If I don't want to harm someone, that's what the Merciful enchantment is for!
>>46070315
a Coat & a jumpsuit,a belt,empty glasses frames, sport sneakers,leather glovesbut i am nude in this pic
>>46070315
I dress differently for every occasion.
I tend towards extremely casual clothing when I'm just doing stuff, and it's usually pretty beat-up and torn. Pajamas, underwear, big t-shirts, swim trunks, whatever. I illusion clothes up if I need to. Occasionally I'll wrap an old blanket around me and call it a cloak.
When something big is happening for me I bother with stuff like big boy pants and possibly shirts with buttons somewhere on them. That's when I get my digimon goggles and pokemon hat out.
If something big is happening for my companions, I have a red carpet wardrobe from Hollywood jump. I try to blend into the crowd and most my companions actually really like fancy dress clothes.
I have job outfits, like I'll wear a suit when lawyering and a labcoat when doctoring. Those are things I have to do to get people to let me do things, though. I'm never happy about it.
When training I wear the Power Limiter Coat from Resident Evil. I have multiple companions that insist I train every day, so I spend about a couple hours in the morning doing whatever. It's healthy for jumps when I lose my powers to be well practiced without them. Running in the coat is weird, though.

A-At least I leave something to the imagination!

You're saying that it is getting hot in here, so you're taking off all of your clothes?
>>46070805
And what a small imagination it takes to fit what you're hiding.
And I do, actually. Favored weapon during the Kannonbull Run. I can totally appreciate your need for a nice coolin breeze.

Needless to say, Lotsa Burning

Swords are sluts.
Hammers of best waifus.

are*
84. Animorphs
Origin: Drop-In, Age: 13
Perks: Morphing, Two of your Earth Hours, Yoink (-100), Acquisitive Gaze (-200) Chimera Morph (-300), Estreen (-200), My Name Is Jake (-100)
Items: The Series, Escafil Device (-600)
Drawbacks: Attractive Host (+100), Restless Wildlife (+400)
I have a habit of talking to the animals before I acquire a morph. Just verbally calming them down, explaining what's up, making sure everything's okay. The drawbacks means they still don't take kindly to me when I want to acquire a bear, but the wrestling is really fun. Another neat thing to do is use shaping and biomancy to make super-creatures to morph into, including just plain better versions of regular animals with human-instincts.
I decided to kill the plot here. Children should be children, not guerilla fighters. I have the Light of Terra, and it will serve it's purpose: The Defense of Mankind and all her colonies. All my companions are psychics that can sense the Yeerks and I can force them to leave the bodies of those they've captured. I can even build them new bodies if they wish, ones capable of melding with a yeerk at the base level and breeding more compatible bodies as needed. That was the first offer. If the war continued, the second offer is the death of thousands. The third is millions. It's the carrot and the stick, you know?
We got up to thousands. It's hard to feel bad when you gave them the bodies they wanted and some stuff to make their planet more habitable, and in the end they were just dicks.
Post-jump, the escafil device is installed inside of a petting zoo on the Kerykeion. It's quite common for people to take their kids there so they can all swim as a school of manta rays or dolphins. If they stay more than two hours, I shift them back, but it's pretty rare.
>>46070928
Emperor bless you, Sister. You've earned a cool drink and a nice breeze. Where to next?
>>46071151
Dragonage Inquisition
Last time we went there was before we discovered our faith in the Emperor, my sisters and I are fully aware of the mission layed out before us.
The Free Marches is were we will form our order, and from there we will do the Emperor's will. The Chantry, Qun and the Tevinter Imperium will come to understand the Imperial Truth or purged from the world for their heresy. The Mages will be taught of the indominable qualities of the human spirit and be empowerd by the Emperors will to fight against the forces of the Fade, they will understand the responsiblity that their birth has thrust upon them. The Deep Roads will be set alight, the old gods torn asunder before they have a chance to return, and the Maker, should he exist, will know fear. Another universe will be uplifted, Justice and Liberty will reign supreme under the Imperial Banner.
So again, lotsa burning. This garment really does pay for itself.
>>46071325
Thedas really does need a good punch in the face. Lotsa stupid in that setting.
>>46070928

Whatever MAGIC WEAPON you used then, FOOLISH JUMPERS!
>>46071401
Sorry I was too busy using my MAGIC WEAPON on your mom last night oh dark one.
>>46071386
It has been many years since our order has had the benifit contact with the Ecclesiarchy out here, but I believe in my heart that we are doing the Emperor's work, no matter what others might think from a superficial examination.
>>46071427
You mean the primordial mass of darkness the gods blew up, a fraction of which fell to Earth and became Aku countless millennia ago?
>>46070031
I was a scientist. I just built robots.
>>46070315
When I'm being the jumper? Longcoats/labcoats and goggles.
Unless I'm actually trying to fit in, which is mostly always. Then I wear stuff to fit in, like T-shits with nonsensical foreign words on them.
>>46071618
> T-shits
Well... I COULD erase that post and try again, but I think I'm just gonna let that one stand the test of time.

>>46070315
Depends on the setting and situation entirely.
Don't really have a single costume. Usually pick something up or have something made in the setting.
...h'okay, so. After some consultation with /tseg/ and others, it appears we seem to have drastically underestimated something we magpied through a gigantic Warehouse door ages ago: The Eye of Magnus. There was lots of speculation as to exactly what it was ranging from the shell of a magical AI from the future to the hole left behind by Magnus when he left Mundus, but apparently the thing's an effectively limitless font of magical energy-which in sufficient quantities is apparently comparable to the deities of Elder Scrolls. And before the Evil Overlord list gets quoted, we did purchase the Staff of Magnus too at the time.
Now, Elder Scrolls was only our 26th jump; we'd only performed the Darkhallow one jump ago. So what's some good ideas to use the Eye and the Staff for, as a reletively inexpeienced Jumper?
>>46070031
Didn't have one. Magic swords are overrated.
>>46070315
Lots, and lots of Territories, portals and Bounded Fields stacked together and fiddled with into a sort of ablative outer layer. We call it worldmail. Also a great deal of holy fire and psychic emanations.
Though the avatars we send into reality usually get by with something understated like jeans, a longsleeved v-neck and a vest.
>>46072107
>Darkhallow
Wait wait wait, hold on. Doesn't that force you to stay within the jump? Because I'm pretty sure that the jump explicitly states performing the ritual means the same thing as if you choose to stay.
>>46072307
Which is why you do it in another jump.
>>46072107
I warned you about the eye, spinning anon. If you don't know what you're doing, your best bet is to not try to actively use the eye itself for anything. At best use it as research material, and possibly to siphon off the magicka it radiates into mana batteries. The staff in game drains magicka on hit and does damage, from memory. It also has the feature of severing Arcano's connection to the Eye temporarily when he's going full saturday morning cartoon villain. So on it's own it could be a pretty useful dispelling tool. Might be able to let you experiment somewhat safely with the eye after a great deal of study.
Of course this may be wasted advice, as memory serves you were going through a saturday morning cartoon villain phase yourself then. Try to learn from the last one, you destroy enough worlds as is.
>>46071453
Yes.
>>46071325
Dragon Age is basically a mini 40k. The fanatics religions control everything, torture and punish the people who have magical powers that work by connecting them to the spiritual realm, and their religious figure actually was a magic user who was defeated by being betrayed by someone close to them.
>>46072369

Eh, edgier than that. I'd say he's a Newgrounds Villain at best.

They believe in an absentee father figure that created them.
They believe that it was their sins that drove their creator away.
Slavery runs rampant.
Hegemony threatens freedom.
A twisted parody of the Imperium, I will give you that, but their heresy will not be tolerated.
>>46072594
>Slavery runs rampant.
Slavery is only tolerated in one nation. Everyone else is just a racist cunt to elves (And some are not even racist cunts to elves) and typical medieval serfdom.
>>46072594
Not to mention that Inquisition literally involves someone opening what amounts to a warp rift that spills forth hordes of demons in an attempt to become what amounts to a Chaos God.
I don't see eye-to-eye with you sisters on a lot of things, but if you want to shit on the fucked up societies in Thedas, you have my support.
>>46072613
Mages are basically slaves. I mean, yeah, you can't just let untrained demon magnets run around everywhere, but they go too far.
And the Qunari are an entire race of slaves, though most of them don't realize it.
Not to mention the fucked up caste system in dwarven societies.
>>46072307
Hence why we performed it in Dragon Age, 4 jumps after Dresden Files. And the same reason why we only took a loot at the Datasphere after leaving 8-Bit Theater.
>>46072369
Duly noted. Actually since we also own the comfiest couch in the multiverse, Spellmaking and an alter to enhance our knack with it we were thinking of putting the couch on the Eye and rigging up some custom spells to give the best magical massages ever.
In that case, any ideas for potential research after centuries of research?
Also technically our saturday morning cartoon villain phase only really kicked off around jump #118. Becoming a Wretched Egg-expy was the straw that finally made us lose it for a while.
Also oi, what happened in DxD was completely out of our hands.
>>46072540
>Newgrounds Villain
I...don't visit newgrounds enough to get what the distinction here is but I'm assuming they pull their punches a lot less than the saturday morning variety of villains.
>>46072645
Mages are contained and forcibly conscripted. Generally speaking, however, Chantry has explicit laws protecting rights of mages. Although as we can see it's not always enforced (Dumb broads, can't do anything right) circles run entire spectrum on individual basis - from Knight Commander and First Enchanter being best buddies concerned only with mages' welfare (Fereldhen) to Knight Commander literally being high on mind-altering drugs (Kirkwall)
>>46072645
Would it be unfair to say Qunari are comparable to the Tau in this regard?
I mean yeah there are differences, but it seems like the foundation is there.
>>46072749
Actually nah, that's...pretty accurate. The Qunari are basically barbarian Tau who fight in melee a lot more often.
>>46072749
Yup
Bunch a fucking marxists
ABSOLUTELY
HERETICAL
>>46072703
Many places have Laws that protect the rights of slaves, too.
And that's not accounting for Tranquils, which literally every circle seems to use.

You had forsaken your humanity long ago

>>46072835
He's also one of the nastiest villains ever. The eclipse is just the most well known feat of asshatery.
>>46072785
Yes, but they also have laws protecting the rights of prisoners, which is what Mages actually are instead of slaves, since they aren't required to work for others for no money.
>>46072943
Okay, I'll concede.
The Tranquils are still slaves, though.
>>46072866
>I'm honestly not entirely sure if they have capitalism even as an abstract concept.
...You're talking about the society that literally has an entire IRL roleplaying game focused around being MAXIMUM OVERCAPITALISTS in it. Rogue Traders, yo. Then there's various worlds with their own markets and trade guilds, interplanetary trade groups, sector-wide markets like the Beast Trade or the Cold Trade (though that one is highly illegal), and so on and so on. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
>>46072967
If they are, they're slaves of the mage circles, working to make goods the other mages can sell to support the group, rather than slaves of the Templars.
>>46072999
You think the majority of mages would still make Tranquils without the templars? They live in perpetual fear of being made tranquil - and for good reason. You did do the quest in II where you help Anders try to save the guy, right?
>>46072795
Being granted a rare and unique gift, the ability to remake myself for a journey ahead. I chose to be more or less my current self but a better. Which is great, because boy howdy did I need it!
The Benefactor has dropped me off in strange place. I think it was somewhere in Asia, but only thing I know is that I can speak Chinese, Japanese, Korean... I don't know what the language is. Point is I'm obviously sticking out like a sore thumb here, but majority the people don't seem to mind.
Not at first it would seem. However I found myself swamped with people soon enough. Standing a good foot above the average person would do that. However it would seem my arrival has given new hope to locals. Somehow I got swept up in a rebellion against someone or the other.
Needless to say, the rebellion got squashed hard. I was seen as the Rebel leader, but I hardly knew what was happening before I was literally swept up and put on a pedestal basically. Not that the officials cared, it was all the same, found guilty of treason against someone or another. All I know they wanted me to kill myself, and I kungfu'd my way out there.
That's my life for next few years. Wandering the backwoods, somehow in someway end up sponsoring rebellion. All I know by end of my time was there was something about three kingdoms at war, and bunch crazy shit happened. I swear, the Benefactor has to be crazy to send me here for my first trip. Hopefully my next trip is going to be better.
>>46072901
I'm curious, sister. At what point do you consider someone to have forsaken their humanity?
>>46073053
Of course not, but being judged to be too high a risk of possession and made tranquil to stop that doesn't mean the Templars are enslaving them. That's like saying that shoving someone into death row is enslaving them. Whether you consider it right or wrong, it's still not the same thing.
>>46073053
Well Tranquils are necessary to work the Lyrium. Also not everyone that's born a Mage can resist the temptations of the Fade. So they're kinda necessary to have.
>>46072982
I'm talking about the Imperium, not fringe states loosely connected to them.
>>46073121
It's far more ethical to just kill them. And can't Dwarves work with Lyrium?
>>46073110
I meant it in a more metaphysical way, to begin with. In that they had their choice and free will stripped from them. I honestly thought the Chantry required them to work, but it's been a while since I played. If you say it's the Circles forcing them to work, I'll believe you. But they're still being forced to work.
>>46073131
All of those are Imperial planets (well, Rogue Traders aside), often with Imperial trade charters or Imperial ranks. The Ministorum isn't the only organisation in the Imperium. You might as well say the AdMech doesn't do anything but fight because it has the Skitarii or the Adeptus Titanicus.
I'm going with a vampire theme for a new chain but don't want to deal with a weakness to sunlight. Any solutions?
>>46073191
Dwarves are resistant to lyrium, not immune to it. It seems to be some sort of skin barrier, cuts and scratches, as well as the membranes of the eyes and nose/throat can all be infected. It also degrades under sunlight, surface dwarves don't have the resistance.
>>46073191
They're "forced" to work because they still need to eat, need clothes and are generally part of the Circle which needs cash for books, materials and so on.
>>46073218Twilight
>>46073218
No Sell from Tsukihime.
Also, Hellsing vamps can eventually outgrow their weaknesses.
>>46073244
So they make money for the Circles, and in return they get...to wear clothes and eat. Sounds like a platinum deal right there. Not that they care, because they're hollow shells that don't even understand they're in constant agony.
>>46073328
If they don't understand that they're in constant agony, are they really in constant agony? Wouldn't you have to notice it in order to have any sort of response?
>>46073328
>So they make money for the Circles, and in return they get...to wear clothes and eat.
Yes, much like everyone else in the circle. This is a thing known as an "economy."
>>46073328
The tranquil process seems to be complete ego death that leaves a useful meat golem behind. Like single step necromancy.
>>46070315
Under most circumstances? Either something tailored to the setting I'm in, like 20s era clothing in Bioshock Infinite, or I dress in a manor similar to Natsu. Pants, shoes, and an open vest. But my clothing is always of very high quality, and either granted by Jump-chan, or made by my Fashion Company.
>>46073372
>Like single step necromancy.
But neater.
>>46073233
That and the Tranquil are only ones that can refine it into enchantments. Well except for ENCHANTMENT Dwarf.
>>46073063
Considering the gifts of the chain it's a very difficult question to answer. When you've surpassed the limiatations of the majority of humanity, are you still human? If so is human and humanity a word subjected to somantics? Perhaps, but this is what I believe.
There are four things that make up the core of the human experience. Induviduality, Agency, Community and Ingenuity. There are the darker sides, sure, and their role in humanities evolution cannot be understated, but if the positive attributes are protected, then the darker ones are reigned in, for the most part atleast.
A human is a stand alone conciousness, with free will, who participates in their society, and can adapt, either personally or through their society to changing situations.
Each one of us has depths as deep as the next, but we are unable to share anything but the surface, yet dispite that we have overcome our differences to create a society that spans vast distances. And the most effective way to protect and nurse humanity is to espouse the values of Justice and Liberty, so that all of humanity are free to interact and create equally.
To stand against these values or attributes is to have surrendered part of your humanity.
>>46073388
FUCK, forgot my name again. God damn it sleepy brain.
>>46073233
It doesn't degrade under sunlight, it degrades with no/significantly less exposure to Lyrium. But that's a simple mistake to make.
>>46073404
>A human is a stand alone conciousness, with free will, who participates in their society, and can adapt, either personally or through their society to changing situations.
But that defines...so many things. Do you just claim any sapient being who does these things is human? If you see a bunch of sapient tress following those values, do you just walk up and go, "Hey, you're basically human. Have you heard the good news of our Lord and Savior the GloriousGolden Shit FaggotGod Emperor of Mankind?"
>>46073372
>>46073352
You seriously don't remember the guy who begged for death so he didn't have to go back to being Tranquil?
>>46073370
Yeah, but the rest of the Circle has a choice. A really shitty choice between really shitty options, sure, but it's still there.
Well at least Tranquil mages are totally immune to demon possession, so they've got that going for them.
>>46073513
You adapt the rhetoric
But basically yesAlso, you don't purge the subhumans unless they threaten those who espouse my values
>>46073513
Of course, only after they refuse do you burn them. Sanctioned xenos are a thing.
>>46073270
Does that carry over into other jumps? Like, if I take No Sell in Tsukihime but then become a Buffy vampire in the next jump will I become vulnerable to sunlight again?
>>46073404
So I'm still human according to you, despite my incredibly in-human looking Final Form?
I approve.
>>46073549
To Be Fair. Most Tranquil get a choice as well. Die or become Tranquil. It's not right or fair, but they do have a choice.
Except in a couple of Circles with crazy Templars.
>>46073549
>You seriously don't remember the guy who begged for death so he didn't have to go back to being Tranquil?
No. I haven't played the games. I was genuinely asking about what their experience is. So is it something that would be traumatizing if the Tranquil had the capacity to understand what was going on, but they no longer do, so it only traumatizes them in retrospect when it turns off? Couldn't you solve that with memory erasure?
>>46073578
Well yeah, they're immune to demon possession... because they essentially had their souls ripped out.
>>46073611
That's true. But hey, they're essentially asking late teenagers if they want to live or not. What do think the answer will generally be. I mean, I'd choose death or a desperate escape attempt if I was in that situation and knew the specifics about tranquility, but...yeah.
>>46073620
I mean, I'm not overly sure. Technically we've only seen it happen once, and it was only for a few minutes, so it's hard to say. For all we know, their soul is trapped in the Fade, unable to move on because it's still tangentially attached to their bodies.
>>46073611
>despite my incredibly in-human looking Final Form?
There comes a point in the chain where we all become immortal gods. At that point you have to choose between the faith you got in the Lectitio Divinitatus during one jump and what you know to be true.
It's not hard to adjust the rhetoric ever so slightly so you can continue the joys of being a battle nun, uplifiting the multiverse with her sisters.
>>46072688
I was alluding to mushoku tensei there but yes, DxD was a thing too, wasn't it? Anywho, I'd like to answer your question but given how uncertain the thing's origins are, and the little info we have available on it, it's hard to say. Given that is an infinite wellspring of magicka, you could use it to study the underlying nature of magicka itself. Perhaps discern what it actually is, possibly replicating it or manufacturing discount EoMs to power things. Possibly figure out how to attain infinite magicka, but there's that old caution about absorbing energy fields larger than your head. You might try to go the Arcano route but know what you're doing, thereby nullifying attacks made against you with the thing barring dispelling from anything that can manage it. In game only the staff could pull it off but the multiverse is a wide place. If we understood it's origins I could offer more but really, it's a large infinite energy generator with a temper if you don't know how to use it responsibly. Covered in aedric runes come to think of it, so that might be an angle of study. Probably not as useful outside of TESverse, but it might be of help to any TES magic you have?
All else fails you can use it as a magic disco ball.

It's the same choice Normal Mages have to make about being in the Circle in the first place. Join or Die, very few live long enough to have a real chance at survival as Apostates.

Technically most of them are taken as kids and indoctrinated, so they don't have a choice about that part.

>Classic Liberalist
Does this mean that if someone doesn't want to be part of your Neo-Imperium, they're free not to? Because, iirc, Classic Liberalsm is very heavy on the importance of individuality and choice.
>>46073763
Don't make me laugh.
You know as well as I do that the Emperor never wanted to be seen as a god.
>>46073804
Yes, providing they don't try and undermine it with force then I won't bring them to harm.
I'm still going to call them Heretics though.
>>46069986
I worked together with some of my companions to make a Dragon in the Borderlands Jump using Eridium, parts left over from my FTL Jump, and broken Hyperion robots. Gave it rather basic AI from the drones I had built in FTL too. I'm not sure I would call it a friend, but I would call riding it into battle and unleashing the flamethrower I installed in its mouth cool.
>>46070315
Usually I dress to fit into the Jump. If the Jump is flashy, like Soul Eater, I go flashy. Otherwise I prefer to blend. My companion Sweets actually has what I consider to be the coolest outfit. It's a black trench coat with each arm designed to look like a Mawile hair/mouth. The collar of the coat is ringed with teeth as well, to make it look like a third one. I love it.
>>46073404
A number of AIs would probably qualify for this definition of Human as well, and I approve.
>>46069986
I may have accidentally transformed the entire population of New York into Immortal cyborgs once. Does that count.
>>46073851
Have you ever even tried Heresy, sister?Come on, you know you want to. It's fun.

I take it the incident involved nanomachines and something going horribly wrong?

Yep. Turns out that AIs react... strangely to some magic.

Okay. So I counted from the last thread and it looks like...

...I guess that settles that. I'm going to be doing the Warframe Update. Reminder of the plans: http://pastebin.com/zzGB25zq
That being said, is there anything different you all want me to try and do, to help keep this as open as possible? Regular updates? Some kind of document where people can access it to look at any time? Other things you want done to the jump instead? I'm open for suggestions, and I want to make sure things go smoothly.
>>46073923
Never you pinko pedophile!Like seriously, there isn't much you can do that makes you a heretic in my eyes that doesn't involve breaking a western law. Communisim, Murder, Theft, Assault, and maybe a few others and that's it.
Its supprising how many people are heretics given this.
>>46073984
It might be covered by "Balance the drawbacks" and "Balance the Origins"
But don't lock Tenno behind a 600 point Drawback. Please.
>>46074006Is Robin Hood theft heresy in your eyes?
>>46073549
>Yeah, but the rest of the Circle has a choice.
And? The Templars aren't the ones telling the Tranquil to make stuff for the mages to sell, that's the mages. If they're being enslaved, it's by their fellow mages. The Templars are the ones who do the initial lobotomy, but after that...
>>46073984
Regular updates sounds fine, I don't think there's any code of conduct for this sort of thing, I just like to know stuff's still being worked on.
Godspeed.
>>46074023
I already admitted that. The fact that it's the mages doing it doesn't make it not slavery.
>>46074022
Depends on the society in which it was happening.
Robin Hood operated during a time before Britan was a Constitutional Monarchy. The taxes were decided and enforced by a totalitarian regime, so the "thefts" were in actuallity guerilla operations against an oppresive administration.
But if we're talking about stealing from modern day banks and megas? That's a blurry line, ideally you want to petition your democratically ellected leader for change, but even I can recognise a point at which the "Democratically Elected Government" is democratic in name only.
>>46074110
>The taxes were decided and enforced by a totalitarian regime, so the "thefts" were in actuallity guerilla operations against an oppresive administration.
Not Quite. The King was off Crusading, his Regent, his Brother, declared himself King despite the Rightful King being alive and well.
He also stopped stealing when the Rightful King returned.
>>46074110
Actually, I'm curious about something. Did you actually try to make changes while you were actually in 40K, or did you just keep your philosophy to yourself until the jump was over?
>>46074163
Monarchy's are oppresive Justice, as a general rule. Without democratic representation the Administration was Heretical.
>>46074165
In 40K it was a matter of the lesser of 2 evils. Had I been there at the start, during the great heresy I might have been able to change it, but given the situation the Adeptus Administratum and the Ecclesiarchy were doing the best they could.
>>46074237
My point was that the Ruler wasn't the Rightful Ruler and was in fact a traitor to the government.
Making Robin Hood's actions righteous
>>46070315
Short skirt long jacket, thigh highs for zettai ryouiki, and mid heels.
>>46074263
My point is it doesn't matter.
Both were Heretics, Justice.
>>46074237
Society is oppressive as a general rule. It's just the alternative is pretty stupid.
>>46074296
Resisting a traitor is the opposite of heresy though.
>>46074296
I think we have to agree to disagree. A Benevolent Dictatorship is the best form of government possible in my opinion.
Democratic systems have far too many issues. Some with bureaucracy, some with that fact people can just buy the election, some with the fact that charismatic liars can get elected.
>>46074323
She's saying the Kings were heretics.
>>46074333
I'd you're assuming a completely benevolent dictatorship in which no one will resist them or try to topple them is possible, shy is a completely honest and far more efficient democracy not equally possible?
>>46074304
I'm not an anarchist, I thought I made it pretty clear. I'm a Classic Liberal.
There are limitations on what you can and can't do, yes, but it is through democratically elected officials that these are decided.
>>46074323
Let me spell it out then.
King Richard = Heretic
Prince John = Heretic
Robin Hood = Saint
>>46074333
I would argue that a Constitutional Monarchy is the best of both worlds. No one should have total authority over a nation simply because they share the blood of the last ruler, that's stupid.
>>46074364
why is*
>>46074364
A benevolent dictatorship requires one decent guy to be in charge.
A honest and efficient democracy requires not only a lot of honest politicians (something many regard as an oxymoron)
but also a populace that has enough understanding of politics to make an informed choice and enough sense not to vote for idiots & liars or fall for nice-sounding but ultimately worthless rhetoric.
In short, a really good democracy essentially requires every voter to be a politician as well, which is obviously not going to happen.
>>46075161
however, it takes a number of people being shits to really ruin a democracy
it takes one to ruin a dictatorship
>>46075184
But, one person is capable of being decent.
Whereas you can always count on a bunch of people to be T-shits.
>>46075226
Did you mean t-shirts, Anon?
>>46075226
I'm reminded of a quote that went along the lines of "A person is intelligent, people are idiots"
>>46075253
To be fair, one of the famous people who said that was Hitler, and he knew that really well.
>>46075267
Hitler also ate food, so that means eating is evil too, right?
>>46075305
Well of course. Eat food? Please, everyone knows photosynthesis Is the way to go. What's that you say? You're not a plant person? Terrible shame...for you.
>>46075226
>>46075184
Personally I'd rather have a bunch of people deadlocking each other and acting like children than one guy allowed to fuck everyone over with impunity.
The idea of a benevolent dictatorship assumes that the guy in charge isn't going to be a liar, isn't going to be corrupted, isn't going to end up passing power down to his jackass son who's worse than he was. People have tried to do the benevolent dictatorship thing in the past. Some guy shows up, says, "I'm going to fix things. Support me.", and then it turns out he's an asshole just like the guy before him.
Of course, in the imaginary jumpchain world, you can always assume you're the guy in charge, and then everything you do is right, because by nature you'll agree with everything you decide. "I know how to fix things, and so I will, because I'm in charge and also fucking magic."
But in the real world, such things rarely turn out well.
>>46075305
seems a bit self serving in his case
>>46075370
>implying most noticed Jumpers trust themselves with political power
It's the same reason Kingmaker isn't the most popular Adventure Path in Pathfinder - adventurers do not make good rulers. They often find the reins of administration /boring/, whereas leading a group of itinerant mercenaries and roving wherever you want is exciting and fun!
>>46075253
I am reminded of things such as "the wisdom of crowds" and prediction markets and such that suggest that "people are idiots" can instead be pushed into "people vastly outsmart an individual person"
>>46073706
Hmm. Well, it's certainly going to help out any tinkering with the Alter with effectively unlimited samples of magicka to make spells out of.
Or once we pick up Conjoined Conjures, for acquiring enough mojo to start making Eliacube-alikes for portals absolutely everywhere.
Or for buffing our Noble Phantasms to new heights using the whole "diminish X to make something even better than X" using Elven Enchantment, only by siphoning from the whole infinite magicka thing to avoid Sauron and Morgoth's little mishaps.
>>46075370
Or since in the imaginary jumpchain world there can potentially exist computers that can predict the best possible course for society for the next couple of centuries you can start asking questions like whether politics as a concept is ultimately flawed, and kick out the White House to be replaced by a techno-dictatorship like what the Culture have.
Anybody have the Stand supplement for the JoJo's jump? I didn't see it in the Drive anywhere.
>>46075658
There ain't one, the creator left before making it because the thread bitched at them too much apparently.
>>46075658
Doesn't exist. Jumpmaker got driven off before she could upload it. Just gonna have to fanwank it.
>>46075535
I admit, if we ever get a Chrono Cross jump, first thing I'm gonna try to do is reverse engineer FATE.
I'm sure this will in no way go wrong.
What's with the sudden influx of people asking for the stand supplement, I wonder? That's like the dozenth time in the past week.
>>46075798
New people joining Jumpchain and getting round to jumping JoJo? Occam's Razor, man.
>>46073218
Waaaaaaay late, but being a light dragon/God/demon slayer from Fairy tail makes you immune to damage from mundane forms of light. And also highly resistant to magical light and holy damage.
>>46075798
I don't know. I think it's always been like this pretty consistently.
>>46073984
So long as I can still afford Corpus, Tenno and Orokin tech, I'll be happy.
>>46075687
>>46075702
So if the creator ran off, why hasn't anybody else taken a crack at making a Stand Supplement?
>>46076035
Because not only is there a constant shitstorm every time somebody suggests such, BUT?
Nobody here has the willpower, the time, or the patience, to consistently deal with the issues that a Stand Supplement would create.
>>46076035
Because it's considered bad form to alter a jump that's already been finished enough to be posted on the drive.
>>46075658
Alright, you are really pissing me off, asking this every other thread.
>>46076035
Because nobody here has the stones to deal with constantly managing a Stand Supplement.
You know how often Merchant has to answer questions and clear god imports for Percy Jackson, or how often OAA had to bloody stamp beast imports for Terra Formars?
Multiply that by a thousand, remove the import option, and you'll have the nightmare that's trying to manage a Stand Supplement. So unless you have the chutzpah to do so? Don't bother.
>>46075370
Well there's a reason that democracy has been called "the least shitty system of government we've developed yet" instead of "the best".
It still sucks. It just tends to suck less even in the worst (or realistic) case that the people who end up in charge are assholes.
That's probably one of the biggest flaws of governments everywhere: The people who would actually be good at it don't want the job, and the people who do are rarely altruistic and need to be kept in check - mostly by other people who are also selfish assholes, so nothing gets done.
Any of you know a perk that lets you see what kind of talents people have? Current and unused, if possible, but unused would be preferred.
Why don't we put the JoJo jump in a folder with another file that explains why there's no supplement?
>>46076092
What? This is literally the first time I've posted in a Jumpchain thread.
>>46076141
Because the jump is perfectly serviceable apart from the supplement, I'd assume.
>>46075798
I'm just gonna piggyback on this.
I've always been fond of the idea of a Stand Guideline. Not an actual supplement or anything that goes on the drive. Just a list of stuff people generally agree on for making your own Stand, and possibly a few examples of Stands others have come up with.
...Not sure what purpose it'd actually serve, but still.
>>46076153
I meant just a folder in the Completed With Images folder. It might stop people from asking so much, which would in turn stop some of the arguments that break out over it.
>>46076127
Winging Ceremony from Sekirei
>>46076119
I can't say I actually understood any of that, but I get the gist of 'it would be a lot of work that you'd have to constantly manage'.
>>46076161
Sounds cool to me. I don't actually know anything about JoJo, so it would be helpful. People would still scream about how you're "altering the jump", though.
>>46076186
That's essentially what I'm getting at, yes.
>>46076119
Preach it.
Also, just gonna pop this in because I fucking know somebody's gonna ask it at SOME point today:
The reason the Brando and Explorer Stands suck was because they were ideas and the jumpmaker was going to update them in the same update that would've given a Zepelli origin, a more fleshed-out Spin tree, and more items.
Stand supplement again? This is, what the fourth thread in a row this has been brought up? Not complaining, just curious.
>>46076127
You Can Shovel Pig Shit from Mad Max
>>46076283
Like I said, new blood. We've even had some new jumpers recently if the Classic Liberalist SoB anon and the other SoB bickering about darkness and light and whatever are any indication
>>46076272
but y do brando stand suck tho
>>46076381
Well apparently it was going to be updated, but the thread scared off the jumpmaker before they got around to it.
>>46076381
Ah, foolish anon. Judas Priest Requiem is actually the strongest default Stand.
You see, it summons three soldiers. Three good men, if you will.
A single one of these has the strength of three other good men.
But their weaponized instruments also multiply their power by ten due to the rockin' potential.
In total, they have the strength of 90 good men. That's enough to fight 4 entire armies.
Nothing compared to Chariot Requiem or Gold Experience Requiem, but surely you can respect such power?
>>46076127
I think Captain Planet has a perk that lets you see people's potential.
>>46076591
Why I Chose You - Planet Spirit discount.
What are some good jumps to remove the need for sleep, food, and drink?
>>46076668
Cardcaptor Sakura and DC.
>>46076568
They're not as good as Plum Juggler Requiem which duplicates any person or items it touches up to 3 times. Or Blue Oyster Cult Requiem that controls water on an molecular scale. BOCR is able to break apart water molecules, then reassemble them pretty much at will.
>>46076936
He's being sarcastic.
I mean I know it's hard to recognize over the internet, but recognizing his choice of vernacular and selection of articulation at how he over emphasises a specific point should make for a clear and concise point of view.
>>46076568
>Judas Priest Requiem is actually the strongest default Stand.
But of course!
New to JUMPCHAIN does your first jump have to be specific or can you take any jump
>>46077540
Generally as a mark of respect to Quicksilver, the guy who started this entire thing you take pokemon first. If not then Light of Terra.
>>46077540
You can take any jump, but it's considered bad form to take Pokemon as anything other than a first jump. Of course, it's possible, but you'll be kind of a dick for doing it.
>>46077540
If you intend to do pokemon at all, it must be your first jump. You can skip it, but then you can't ever jump it. Beyond that order is up to you.
>>46077540
You are supposed to do Pokemon first or not at all, as it was the first jump made, no other jump has any such restrictions.
>>46077563
>>46077569
Good to know
>>46077563
>Light of Terra
What? Since when has that ever been a first jump?
>>46077587
Ssh!
>>46077563
I prefer Commoragh, though I suppose Worm might work too. Bleach is also a high quality jump, and you should take it early.
>>46077587
Some people occasionally think it's a good first jump as you lose your powers anyway. Of course you could develop a load of skills first and increase your survivability by an order of magnitude instead but some people like just going 'I win' without ever really justifying how.
When new people come to thread as well it seems to be a tradition for at least one person to either give them purposefully bad advice or give them information that is skewed seriously in the direction of their own opinions/run.
>>46077587
There is an opinion of a few people that as it takes away your abilities it may as well be your first jump, and that there is no benefit to waiting. There is also the opinion of, why would you do that to yourself?!
>>46075535
Bit late to the party but... Would the eye even work in other worlds? Elder Scrolls magic comes from another plane of existence and seeps into the rest of reality. When you leave fiat keeps your magic running, but I'm not sure the eye would work. You're essentially taking a tap that would no longer be connected to a reservoir. That said you could probably use it as a tap/battery for other poolsof magic once it has run out of it's own reserves. I'm sure you could come up with something else to do with it.
>>46077687
Hold on, it does? There doesn't seem to be a definitive canon explanation for exactly what it is but IIRC in the game it kinda looked like a big ball so it seemed like a container for a store of limitless magicka unto itself rather than a portal to wherever it comes from.
Guess that'd make things simpler if so, though. Hopefully Cats sees this if he cares to make a ruling on what the Eye is.
>>46076668
You also have Tales of Symphonia.
>>46077687
>>46077793
The eye itself is an incredibly advanced bit of equipment created by the god of magic, that it's implied he used to punch a hole into Aetherius creating the sun. Its never explained what exactly it does, other than it's really fucking powerful and can warp reality in some way(which isn't that weird as far as a lot of the really high end stuff in TES).
>>46077845
Was that ever confirmed by someone who actually knew what they were talking about in the game? Far as I know there was no explicit confirmation of the Eye being Magnus' creation, just a name the College of Winterhold gave it.
Why are spacebatlles now allowed to replace jumps they think aren't powerful enough?
>>46077929
The name comes from the Augur of Dunlain, a guy who accidentally himself with the magic energy around the College. He seems like a pretty good source of information, seeing as he is the magic of the region, it's a couple steps down from one of the gods saying it's the eye of Magnus but well above just the College naming it thus.
>>46078010
They aren't allowed, there have been attempts in the past and they don't make it onto the drive. If they want such jumps they can make their own drive to keep them in.
>>46077793
Can't really make a ruling on something that we don't know what it does by lore.
We know the Psijics think it's too dangerous and unstable to keep in Mundus and form magic anomalies in that setting. Presumably it's connected to Aetherius in some way but we can't know to what extent and what it'd even have done if it hadn't been stabilized. Probably more bad stuff.
In another setting it'd probably have some residual magic but given we don't really know what it is or what it does I couldn't tell you what it would do or whether you'd be able to harness it.
Wouldn't be able to punch through to Aetherius though (Aetherius no longer being anywhere near in a metaphysical sense) if that's what it was even doing in the first place. May totally crap out as well due to relying on TES metaphysics and you'd just have a giant ornate marble rolling around your warehouse.
>>46077793
They don't really explain it fully,hence why I started my post wondering if it would work.
If it is a tap you won't get much use out of it without finding another reservoir and learning how to attach it to it.
If it is a tap and battery you could probably store other types of magic in it with a bit of work and connect it to other sources of magic if you find one.
If it is just a battery... Well, it seems that it stores a ridiculous amount of magic so it'd be a damn good battery.
If it's a generator then my question is moot because it could replenish it's own stores of magic.
There isn't enough to say definitively, I think.
>>46078010
They're not, the mods a jackass, and will be summarily expunged from drive and thread if he dares set foot in here. Then again this is the fucker who insists rules lawyer perks apply to perk descriptions and that he only goes by what's in the jump document. So I'm thinking this will be a valuable opportunity to demonstrate to him why that style is utterly toxic.
>>46078010
What? No, they've NEVER been allowed to do that.
>>46069986
My Robot Partner Chartreuse, who helped me a lot when I locked away my memories for Negima. Never doing that again.

Near the beginning, the connection with the Kaiju hive mind acts as a sort of early warning system, but a half-dozen ambushes and they learned to block things they don't want to send. It didn't make them any less annoying with the constant mind whispering, though. In any case, blood is now cobalt blue and of variable toxicity for all our forms, which leads to hijinks when folks think I'm asphyxiating whenever I blush.

Also, set Harry up to be friends with Neville and Hermione instead of Ron and Hermione, and go with the three of them to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone. Replace it with a shiny bit of garnet and squirrel it away in my Warehouse. Second year is pretty boring, since I broke into the Gryffindor common room and stole Riddle's Diary from Ginny. It, along with Ravenclaw's Diadem, becomes raw material for experimentation on how to destroy a Horcrux without basilisk fangs or Fiendfyre. Also, I made the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team as the best Beater in the school. Not many people have been able to hit a bludger with enough accuracy to make it hit the other bludger to knock the quaffle out of the air on its way to an unprotected goal.
I let third year play out as in the book because I was bored the year before and definitely not because I forgot about the whole Sirius in Azkaban thing. Left things alone right up to letting Wormtail get away--being unconscious makes it so much harder to escape. So Sirius is exonerated, but is still in no condition to take care of Harry. Also, at some point, it became known to the school that I'm a Kitsune. Start pushing Harry and Hermione together.
Fourth Year was fun. Sooo much fun. Entered myself in the tournament as the only constestant from the Chuck Norris School of Badass. Complete all the tasks, but end up with no points for the third because I threw my dragon around Hulk-style without using magic, and then earthbent the mermaid city up from the lakebed to become an island, then rescue all the hostages without getting my feet wet. Of course, the whole thing was a setup to get Voldemort and all his followers together so that I could have my droids come in and blast them all to kingdom come, then have a bit of gloating over Voldie by showing him all of his horcruxes before kicking his new skull in..

Of course, Harry didn't much appreciate me manipulating his life so far, and after a bit of an argument, he went back to Hogwarts and I...left. Chartreuse got my stuff from the school, and I ran off to go around the world, learning new magics from all over to distract myself from lost friendships. Heard that Harry and Hermione got married shortly before the Jump ended. Good for them.

>Also, set Harry up to be friends with Neville and Hermione instead of Ron and Hermione
So excluding one kid. I mean he's not always the best guy in the world but you are talking about taking the only friends an 11 year old kid has away.
Why not just make friends with all of them and bring Neville in?

Woah ok, yeah this is weird. This time I know where I am, only because the Open Palm & Closed Fist information swirling around my mind. My temple was destroyed and I'm one of I think only three survivors now. Anyways it would seem that my accent drives people crazy, I don't hear it, but I was told it was a lisp. Small but noticeable and it's annoying to deal with when you have tonal languages.
However under the tutelage of Master Li, I follow Tiger Shen, the master's star pupil. He too was one the last Spirit Monks, and Master Li saved both of us from our temple's destruction. Tiger Shen and I help defeat Emperor Sun Li and cure the Long Drought. After that we kinda left our separate paths, I just explored the world.
While here I learned Iron Palm, Legendary Strike, White Demon, and lastly the magic style Dire Flame. I do like learning new styles, but it would seem that I have a fatal weakness. My ten years here was pretty interesting, and I had a blast. I hope my travels continue.
For all you travels, have you ever found a man's romance?
Figured I should reaffirm my declaration that I'm doing a DC endjump as I'm working on it at the minute.
Intend to roughly follow the Dragonball format but with obviously entirely different stuff. It's also probably going to be a lot more highfalutin and pretentious.
>>46079125
Nice. That's the one with the Anti-Monitor, right?
>>46079125
Shit. What. When did you say this before? That's fucking A.
>>46079226
It's all of them and then more increasingly escalating shit if you manage them.
Even then you've got to stay popular with the readers.
>>46078686
I'm talking about making it so they weren't ever friends to begin with.
This was at a point in my chain where I was arrogant enough to believe that I, having the books practically memorized, would be able to steer everyone into happy relationships like the shipper I was. So that was part "Ron's an unhygienic jerk and I don't feel like training him better this Jump" and part "I remember the books and I know Harry and Neville will be bestest buddies furevuuur" and part "I personally don't understand how people have more than, like, three friends." Looking back, I'll admit it comes off as callous and manipulative.because it may have been callous and manipulative.
I like to think I've learned better since then.and not just by avoiding contact with anyone not Companion. I made other friends! With...um... I was friends with... Quark? I think?
>>46079274
Will there be a drawback for having dumb and mildly offensive plots retconned into existence, in the style of Zatanna's memory erasing magic?
>>46070315
Normally, in my metal gear rising civilian body, I'll wear kull warrior armour (leaving off the gloves/helmet if I don't need them), and my strike witches bomber jacket (with the pacific rim acid jacket's sacs sewn into it), or my kingsman suit.
If I'm in my specialized cyborg body, I've pretty much given up all pretenses of normality, and as such have on nothing that isn't built into the body itself.
If I'm in one of my organic forms (like basic human), I'll wear whatever fits in, since I'm either trying not to stand out, or I want to use powers that require organic parts (like prototype), and whatever I'm wearing will get fucked up (course, thanks to prototype, I'm less wearing them and more "forming my body into them")
>>46079125
Neat. I can't offer much in the way of advice or suggestions because I'm not a big fan of cape comics, but this could be fun.
Any sneak peaks you want to give us?
>>46079125
>Crisis of Infinite Crises
This is joke, yes? If so, very funny. If not...
>>46079125
The most important question I have for you is, will Adam West Batman be present in the jump in some way?
>>46079368
Kull warrior armor counts as a pretense of normality?
Alright, so finals are done until the quarter starts again next week. And of course while I was cramming, I did not spend a large amount of my pharmaceutically-enhanced study time to type out a lot of stuff for theTom Clancy's Rainbow Six/Jack Ryan jump.
I swear I didn't guys.Okay maybe I did.
This is currently not even alpha yet. Still got to work on Perks, Items, Drawbacks, andScenarios.So it's gonna be a bit of work, but I am content with my progress so far. Will hopefully get it knocked out in a few weeks. I welcome suggestions for Items and Perks, as well as any concerns. They will be addressed in a timely manner,about six to eight months.
>>46070315
Default clothing: Kull warrior armour (minus the helmet and gloves) under my strike witches bomber jacket (with the pacific rim acid jacket's acid sacs added). With my civilian cyborg body from MGR
Formal: Kingsman suit or Gundam Wing regal regence
Heavy combat: Nothing but my specialized cyborg body, and whatever pieces of armour I currently have built into it.
Fitting in: one of my alternate human forms, with clothes I formed using my prototype powers that match what everyone else wears (granted, unless I know the culture, may not actually fit in). Alternatively, whatever I think looks badass if I'm just looking to use my prototype powers (or some other ability that requires a more organic form).

A couple of times. Think originally it was ages ago. DC is pretty similar to Dragon Ball Z but it
>>46079344
Maybe, pretty open to suggestions as I don't have that much content yet, just a lot of stuff on how I want it all to work. I know the Comics Code Authority is going to be a drawback.
>>46079397
Not really. A big thing I guess is that if you've jumped DC already (which is effectively a DC universe without the retcons/reboots so the total opposite of this) you get buffs on various options depending on which Identity you spent the most CP in/whether you picked up certain options.
>>46079422
No jokes, only crises now.
>>46079425
Nope as this is mostly a sort of meta comicbook thing. That could definitely be its own jump though if we had anybody who had seen enough episodes. Could do with some shark repellent bat spray.
>>46079443
Depending on the setting, it could. At best, I look like a weirdo, not a "holy fuck huge robot guy".
And nice, told me the post didn't go through, but it did. Double post fail.
>>46079125
I like it! What about Flashpoint? Oh! What about Convergence? Will they be like +0 drawbacks? Kinda "pick your poison"?
>>46079523
>No jokes
OH BOY. In all seriousness, I'd say the biggest threat jumpers would have to deal with is being retconned, either into something or someone else, or out of existence entirely. Maybe a drawback where the Jumper is the BBEG or the reason why everything is going on, and they have to fight everybody, with only the nerfed former BBEGs as allies to even the odds?
Skulduggery Pleasant jump should be mostly finished now.
Changelog:
>Added another Origin
>Added two more magic options.
>Finished the Drawback section.
>Added notes.
I'll likely add some more drawbacks, but otherwise, it should be mostly finished.
>>46079852
Those God-Killer Weapons sound like they could use some serious benchmarking/clarification on how more esoteric defences work on them. Exactly what are Skulduggery Pleasant gods like, that they get instantgibbed by this thing?
Is this the kind of weapon you can one-shot a Chaos God or Azathoth with? I figured not but as written it seems really vague.
>>46079852
Looks good, but
>After all, one wretchling may not be a problem, but ten are annoying, a hundred are a
problem, and a thousand are nothing less than a predicament.
Did you mean to say Hollow Men?
>>46079932
>One-shot Azathoth
Considering reality is his dream, that's a bad idea even if it works.
>>46079564
You get more CP for starting earlier on and dealing with more events. Or at least that's what I'm doing with it at the minute, may change my mind it doesn't pan out.
>>46079585
Could definitely have a drawback where you're the start of a specific event and there's a certain amount of hero fighting as a result.
>>46079967
That's an idea. Exactly what power level are we working with, here? Considering the Anti-Monitor and Superboy Prime are running around, I'd imagine it'd be pretty high.
>>46079965
What I'm trying to say is "god" covers a lot of different beings from Olympians to kami to Kami Tenchi to Beerus, so the weapon's effect as written could use some clarification to avoid having the MEoDP problem
>>46080026
Ah, yeah I figured. Just thought I would point that out. Cracker Jack, you may want to edit that as well.

Attempt to what the faceless ones? That feels very relevant.
