Jumpers!
What's your faction? What are their units? What are their specialties?
>>47987647
Cuz, I'm not that anon, but I thought it was a pretty fun topic thirty minutes before the thread died.
So what DID your Shadow say to you in Persona anyway, /jc/? If you haven't been there, what do you think it'd say?How badly did it hurt?
>>47988251
Pizza
Pizza Skeletons
2 large pepperoni pizzas for 14.99
Jumpers what toppings power you through your day?I hope none of you are a filthy anchovy lover.
>>47988314
Chicken-bacon-blue cheese
or
Pineapple-bacon.Even if it take fucking forever, homemade pizza is the best.
So! I finally devised the plan to prevent Endbringers from destroying me, making a lot of money and prevent the heat death of the multiverse! I'd like someone todo point out any flaws here so I can ironía them out with QB's help.
>First: Become Kyuubey's associate. Help his plans along by hoarding all grief seeds and getting the mágica girls to work for me to get them. The corruption and despair from having to commit crimes to survive will witch them out, netting me more Grief Seeds.
>Create more Magical Girls via general manipulation, suggestion magic and by loansharking the families of potential candidates so they make a ideal for money to pay off the debt. This way we get more magical girls AND money.
>Using the witches created by this process, find a way to assemble a gestalt witch, which we'll call proto-Walpurgisnatch for now, or PW for short.
>Using Control magic, find a way to reliably control PW, and the strongest I can make it while keeping control of it. This will be training for the important parts.
>Since Kyuubey agreed to it, I've podded him, I'm looking for a way to make him a proper companion though.
This is the plan for Madoka Jump, and it has worked so far (thanks to generous dice gods). Now, i still have to jump Worm, but here's the plan.
>Using Contractor shard to assure that Kyuubey's magical girl making ability works in Worm
>Using my mafia, find potential candidates to turn into magical girls. Taylor's bullies are some aceptable targets for witching at this point, but I somehow want to make Taylor or Bitch a magical girl.
>Since the witches will cause more despair, and I can use magic to more or less force Contracts on people, I will increase the number of Magical Girls in Brockton Bay steadily. If I were to use the Leviathan attack to make more, It would increase the ammount a fair bit, but perhaps using the attack as a way to Witch them might be preferable.
>Create my own Walpurgisnatch using the information gathered in Madoka. (1/2)
>>47988251
the new divine science dragon empire
Lots of giant robots/literally brainless Kaiju,Piloted by Remodeled humans, Alpha lantern genetic duplicates of myself,and my companions,clouds of von Neumann nanomachines that blanket the sky dismantling and reconfiguring everything in their path,zurg swarms enhanced with the genes of toriko animals and gourmet cells along with Martian and Kryptonian DNA from young justice taking biowarfare to a whole new level, fully autonomous normal size light of Terras/the shards printed out from the maximally sized light of Terra and/or the shard
mass destruction followed by rebuilding and repopulating with our own, our code of war states that war is a horrible last resort, and thus must be over as quickly,as decisively and as definitively as possible we will Literally overwrite your civilization with our own.
>>47988337
(2/2)
>Using said Walpurgisnatch, if done before Leviathan, might allow me, with help from the Capes of the town and magical girls, to prevent major destruction of the city, if i were to choose to do it at that point. This should get me at least some decent standing with the Protectorate if I show myself, which I probably won't.
>To ensure that the Protectorate won't try to fuck with me, I'll have to gather proof from the Locker Incident, since it would allow me to blackmail them due to Shadow Stalker being in the Wards.
This is more or less the plan to avoid Brockton Bay being almost destroyed by Leviathan. Any plans involving Magical Girl Scion and making him into a Witch are pure conjecture and probably imposible to achieve at this point.
Thoughts?
>>47988264
Whats your pizza jumper?
>>47988394
extra sauce, extra cheese, sliced Jewel meat,Cheesy hotdog And pretzel bread crust.
>>47988408
That actually sounds very delicious.
>>47988419
yeah that's why it's my jumpers favorite pizza.
>>47988260
Aww, you brought your little friends, too. Wait, no you didn't. Because we don't have any friends. Oh, we pretend so well you've even convinced yourself. But they're not really our friends, because that would require us to care about them. And we don't. They're just little distractions, people we're going to use and abandon when time's up. Aw, didn't they know that? That we're not just moving home in a year, we're moving on completely? We'll never see any of them again, and that's fine with us. Because there's always more in the next world, and the next. Even our "Companions" are disposable! If they wanted to all stick around and settle down, we'd just drag them off to the next hell! Or we'd leave them too. Just like her. Do you even remember what her name?
>>47988260
"You're boring. All this power, all these grand monuments you cart around with you, and you're just some stupid child playing tourist. The only reason that she even watches you is for your 'friends', who don't even want to be around you if they can avoid it. She only keeps you around because it means they come back from death faster.
Just admit it, you're nothing without someone to prop you up. An empty shell for others to use as they please before dropping you like trash."At least I have friends. All you've got is insults and a 10 month long lifespan, tops.It hurt a lot.
>>47988260
that's part of why am avoiding that place,I know I am bad and broken and I know how I get when I Am forced to confront that,I know what I am and adding personality on personality, history after history trying to escape that is a good part of why my Jumper has kept going for so long.
>>47988260
No talk, only my Shadow getting suplexed.
>>47988432Hey you.
The cowards hiding behind the screen where you think you're safe.
Do you remember their names? Or their faces?
Did you even remember they existed until I asked?
>>47988260
"I'll bet they don't know, do they? You've kept some of your friends around for nearly 300 years now and they still don't know you're just a boring, pathetic excuse for a human being underneath the shiny foil you've wrapped yourself in. You're a pretty Christmas present wrapped in layers of lovely paper, but inside the box there's just a dead puppy.
That's why She has been distant. She knows. She can see it. She's just along on this strange little journey of yours because you /made/ her come. The rest of them just haven't seen past the wrapping yet. But they will. Eventually they'll all see the necrotic little man-child huddling inside that empty hole you call a heart and they'll leave.
Either that or you'll let them die against just to survive one more hour.
By the way, did you ever stop to think that maybe using a cursed diamond to revive your Companions may not have been the best idea?"Then each one of them turned around, wearing a Shadow's mask, eyes shining yellow.This Jump is going to hurt every part of my soul.
>>47988572
Who is this QT3.14?
>>47988260
"My my, the big bad Jumper! I'm shaking in my boots. You've got everyone convinced that you're this big shot, whether you play the role of the hero or villain, you're always acting like you're really that good.
But behind the mask you wear, you're still that lazy, softhearted loser. You've inserted yourself into their story, and what's more, you act like you deserve to be there! How pathetic."
I told my shadow he was right. It hurt to admit it, but it was true. Well, except he left out one detail.
I'm the lazy, arrogant, softhearted loser with friends, where as he was just as big a loser, yet he was all alone.
>>47988260You're waifu a shit
>>47971022 >>47971080
>>Epiphany: Level requirement and number of participants
>>The difficulty will always scale to make it challenging, read: potentially lethal, to you given the amount of power you have available to you in jump.
Hmm... shouldn't it at least taper beyond a certain point? I mean, the canon group weren't even halfway to DL's level cap, and in jumpchain it's possible to actually be a deity or at least divine yourself (Okami, Smite, etc). Though I suppose at that point you ARE a new source of divine power anyway. Heh, that'd be surreal, taking the cleric perks and finding that you're praying to yourself for spells.
So Imagine Breaker says it didn't affect your own powers, but what about your magical weapons?
>>47988783
It'd affect them as normal.
>>47988805
Hmm, what about ones that are manifestations of yourself? Say a Zapakuto or Noble Phantasm?
>>47988817
Depending on what exactly it is, it'd either fall under 'your own powers' or just be effected like any other external magical item.
>>47988765
Deities cast cleric spells all the time. They don't pray for them, though - they just have access to them by virtue of being a God.
What's really going to be interesting is having your Companions praying to you for spells.
>>47988859
>not already being prayed to by his Companions
Pleb.
How dangerous is Evnagelion?
Jesus, I am a sucker for canon companions. I thought it was bad before and then I hit Fire Emblem: Fates. Jump is fucking dripping with waifu slime.
>>47988886
>waifu slime
>>47988886
Doesn't help that it throws, like, 3 possible companions at you for free.
>>47988873
About as dangerous as a giant biomech that can shoot lasers or a mega giant angel that shapeshifts and shoots lasers while hurling spears from the moon. Oh and tang.
What are some settings that you are surprised aren't already jumps? I for one am shocked beyond measure that with all the jumps we have no one has ever made an EverQuest or Dragon Quest jump.
Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
>>47988990
Dragonstar, spellJamer,Godzilla cinematic, burn up W, the tick.
>>47988990
>Everquest
Son, I tried giving that a shot. All of those god damn expansions will result in one hellaciously bloated jump unless you intersperse them as DLC, and ain't nobody got the time to make THAT much DLC for one fukken jump.
>>47989008
Neither. I'm a sandwich.
>>47989031
>FFXIV
>>47988990
Runescape and Wizard of Oz.
I'm also surprised that we don't have a poorly written and clearly rushed Simpsons jump.
>>47989039
Oh are you trying to be cute?
>FFXIV - 1 Expansion, with a second on the way
>EverQuest - 22 Expansions
>>47989031
And if you don't include every last thing some little shits going to come up and complain that you didn't do a good job and that you ruined his Nostalgia trip.
>>47989055
>22 Expansions
Wow, that's something alright.
>>47988260It's hilarious the way they all care, isn't it? Even if they don't matter. We don't matter. This whole fucking chain... doesn't matter.
That's why they're so cute, that's why it's so fun to play around with them, just like a bunch of dolls.
Hey! I got an idea. Why don't we just destroy it all? That would be fun, right?! That'd give them something to REALLY care about!
... but that's a lot of work, isn't it? And in the end, even that wouldn't matter. Yeah, nothing we do matters even a little bit.
That's why, you and me? We'll never change. It's easier just to do nothing.
Just do whatever it takes to pass the time. Whatever sounds fun. Back and forth between roles.
It's too much work to care about something the way they do.
Not that you can.
And when you go too far, just tell everyone you'll do better next time, right before you put on another mask.
... Look at you. Didn't even bring anyone with you. Cuz you don't want anyone to see how worthless you really are. How there's nothing underneath.
But hey! Look on the bright side.
It doesn't matter!
Even if they knew, they'd still care about you! They'd still love you!
Even if you told them how pointless they all are, how worthless their opinions are, even if you tried really, really hard and did everything in your power to be the biggest, meanest bitch in the whole wide world, they'd still forgive you!You sure stacked enough perks for that.
>>47989055
Think he meant the size of the jump (269 fucking pages), more than the amount of expansions.
I'll grant you that's a whole bunch of them though.
>>47989008
Witch hunterwho is also a witch.
>>47989085
Mmm, fair point. I mighta should've toned down the sass.
Although, for FFXIV, most of that is Scenarios. Major purchasables stop at about Page 76.
>>47989080
You always write such oddly dark shit. It's terrible and fantastic and I almost want to see how things would go if something happened to make you change...
>>47988990
>>47989031
>>Everquest
Couldn't you just treat the expansions as sequels rather than DLC? Vanilla Everquest is its own jump. ExPac 1 is it's own jump. So on and so on.
>>47989127
That's just it - the expansions themselves would be strapped for content for making themselves a stand-alone jump.
Timeline's also something to take into consideration in those regards.
So, /jc/, for those of you who've jumped Strike Witches, what was your callsign?
Mine was Poptart.I may have had a small sugar problem that jump.
>>47989191
Painkiller.Faster than a lazer bullet!
>>47989145
We did something along the same lines with the Final Fantasy jumps.
I mean, I know there's a difference between a DLC and a series of completely different names, but the precedent is there.
>>47989191
I've had the same callsign for ages. I also use it as my Shadow Name for Skullduggery and Mage: Victory.
>>47989219
The problem is that the classes, races, and abilities are more or less the exact same from expansion to expansion. DLC add ons are the only way I can see it working.
>>47989219
And the individual Final Fantasies are entirely different worlds with entirely different stories varying between themassuming we just ignore the travesty that was X-2 and the 13 Series.Even the ones in Ivalice have drastic enough differences that they absolutely did warrant their own jumps.
In this case, it'd be like if Fist (by some ungodly decision-making) decided to split WoW into individual jumps based on expansions. You'd have the large, central jump - and then a bunch of piddly ones. Wrath of the Lich King, as an example, would be a sparse-as-fuck jump. In EQ's case, something similar would be the Scars of Velious.
>>47989259
>not wanting to be a magical girl whose costumes give her superpowers
Absolute pleb.
For those who took the Parasite ability in the Rick and Morty jump, how have you used it so far?
>>47988314
peperony and chease
>>47988251
GOATS! Goats.
Their specialty is being marginally less shit than Waddle Dees.
>>47989008
I'm a bad witch who tries to be good.
>>47989108
Hah. Thanks. It's actually always really nice to see that someone is reading this!
>>47989191
I went with Redwater, because I'm unoriginal.
Back in FMA, I bought the Red Stone, and so as the only person in the entire damn Brotherhood setting who knew how to make stones out of alchemical reagents, I dubbed myself the Redwater Alchemist (despite never serving in the military) -- because Red Stones are made by distilling Red Water, a highly toxic alchemic liquid made by mixing the reagents with huge amounts of water.
Anway, I tend to use that callsign anytime a jump asks for one, because the elements of "water", "toxicity", and "magical science" are rather apropos for me.
Although since Red Stones aren't really a thing in other settings, most people tend to think the "red" stands for "blood", and have a much darker view of the title as a result.
But I rarely correct them.

"Do you know how much could be fixed if you just bit the bullet and used mind control? We know it's the most efficient option. They won't even know they are being controlled!

Even now people are at risk because you refuse to use your most powerful tool. I know better and I will fix this.""I... can't let you do this."
"So be it. I am a shadow-"
"But I didn't say I reject you!"
"-the true self. I will make the right choice for you!"
>>47988260"How many people have died because of you? All because you wanted to feel big and important? You don't REALLY believe in justice or altruism, or even being a half decent person.

But no matter how strong or capable you think you've become, you're what you've always been: unnecessary.
These worlds already have heroes. They never needed someone as selfish as you."
>>47988260
You forgot the olive in that mans martini. The shame was heartbreaking.

I am a scientist.
With all due respect to witches who fulfil a valuable role in the community, my area of expertise is science, not intuition.

It doesn't matter. I dislike pizza unless it's really, really well made.
>>47988251
Which one? I have several, although these days my identity crisis means I delegate a lot more than I used to.
There's the Grand United Alliance of Law, a mutual defence pact forged between Jubileus, YHVH, the God-Machine and the entities of MtA's Aether which field a variety of angels with all kinds of specialities. Usually frontline Sodom & Gommorah-style destruction.
There's the Seelie 4, four "courts" of True Fae who sold themselves to us in exchange for freedom from the need to feed, and quasi-domesticated through a disciplined regime. Their units vary a lot but are always either a powerful individual, a group of lesser beings, a weapon or a landscape. So they specialise in hit and run tactics.
There's the Neverkingdom, a loose association of Fingerking hybrids, living memes, embodied nightmares and supercharged Ira created by us wholesale when we need a cosmic black ops force.
There's the shoggoth civ we once ruled over which is...mostly not an asset at this point.
There's the Court of Bel, which contains various powerful gods/godlike beings we've defeated. In the past I usually fielded their talents as support for other groups given they're capable of much more versatile things than just spamming Megidolaon until somebody keels over.
And of course, we technically count as our own faction.
>>47989511
>A shadow that is legitimately trying to help.
>You take each bit of advice as though it's a strike to thee heart.
>>47989659
Pfft, what's a scientist without a little reckless intuition?
Oh, to explain the "we" thing: Although I no longer identify as a hivemind, I Ensoul all of my perks in order to, among other things, carry out self-modification using sympathic magic when I need it.
It's kind of weird now because when I hang out inside of my multiverse-body I'm surrounded by lots of weird glowy people who are technically subdivided aspects of me.
They used to be immersed in an Instrumentality-like sea of consciousness but now they just kinda do their own thing and we're all genereally confused by the experience.
>>47988765
Actually Mystics in Dragonlance basically basicallybelieve in themselfto fuel their divine casting.

>>47988859
>>47988871
Can confirm, having companions pray to you is a great way to build team spirit and raise morale. Not all of mine do, though.
That said, the ones who started worshipping me BEFORE I became a proper god or knew I was one really freak me out.

>>47989898
>Your scientists were so obsessed with wondering if they could... they forgot to wonder if they /should/.
>>47989854
Out of curiosity. Have you ever considered having your Ensouled perks act like less blatantly destructive Entity shards?
Also did you have to keep making new ones when you gained new perks, or did you find a way to automate the process?
>>47989191
Gawk.
Mainly because of the forbidden love drawback, but also because I had really good eyesight. Which was of course used too perfect the art of the Bounce.
>>47989008
I make giant mecha out of the souls of despair-filled little girls. Hoping to get some redemption arc going soon.

>>47989960
Oh, I add a pinch of Soulfire, a dash of Type-Moon Demons (the force, not the entities) and my personal blend of corruptive magic to each being such that they're axiometrically obsessed with making the powers they embody more efficient while encouraging cooperation over uncontrolled conflict as a work ethic.
Technically both. The soul-machinery of my world-self includes assembly lines (gotta have redundancies just in case) infused with the Ensoul enchantment. I prefer making new Ensouled when I get new perks just to sort them for neatness' sake, but the assembly lines just kinda pump them out when I get said perks so it's no biggie.
It does mean they tend to form cliques, though. The magic perks are like the cheerleader and jocks, the study and knowledge perks argue bitterly with each other over who's nerdier, the really unique perks tend to wander off and do their own thing, the musical perks form their own travelling band and everybody shuns the harem perks.
>>47990039
They got better.
>>47988260
My wife and I are a package deal on the psyche front, so my shadow was both of us.
The moment I realized that the area of the Shadow World it taken up residence in was a BDSM dungeon, I knew I was in for a bad time.
No kids allowed.
>Look, my little pet. It's them...
Mhhmmmhhmh!
>Who gave you permission to speak? *SMACK*
~HMMM!~
>It's a shame you brought friends. Those disgusting things always get in the way.
>Why don't you throw them away, so you can join us?
How about no?
>This is always how it is! Can't you see?
>The world is just in the way of our fun, and we have the means to make it go away!
>If you're unwilling, I guess I'll just have to whip you into shape! *SMACK*
~MHMHMMMH~
Then they turned into something that vaguely suggested a horse and rider.
It was extremely uncomfortable. For everyone involved.
Oh god, it was dripping. Eww...
I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to choose with the Strike Witches jump. Anyone mind sharing theirs to help me out a little?
>>47990061
>Oh, I add a pinch of Soulfire, a dash of Type-Moon Demons (the force, not the entities) and my personal blend of corruptive magic to each being such that they're axiometrically obsessed with making the powers they embody more efficient while encouraging cooperation over uncontrolled conflict as a work ethic.
I meant having them follow random people around, grant them access to the powers, and then studying the resulting data to see if they figure out anything the rest of you missed.
You know what the Entities do, but without the destructive idiot parts.
Also this gave me another thought.
Would entities created by Ensouled be valid targets for perks and other options that let you grant other beings powers?
>>47990114
What exactly am I reading here?

My shadow was Jabba the Hutt meets God Emperor of Dune. Like a big fat worm,no offense worm_anon.. He had like gyrating muscle men and spoke in a heavy lisp, while stuffing himself with food.
All I said was "Huh. Interesting." Before I ATATATATATAORAORAORAORA.
>>47990462
...
I'm kind of mad that I missed whatever that was an answer to.
>>47990190
Ah, right. In that case-it depends on the world, but as a general rule having a bunch of random superpowered chumps running around tends to upset whatever delicate Rube Goldberg designs I have on the world at large. Sometimes, letting the Ensouled outside my world-body is a security risk when there's dangerous people about. Other times, they're useful intermediaries when I want to grant someone an ability-usually as part of a favor-but don't want them to keep it.
Gotta admit, I was surprised how many volunteers there were for the contracts in Magical Girl Noir Quest. Turns out a lot of girls resented being overlooked for magical girlhood, who knew? And there was a bit of a fiasco in FF8 after someone tried to junction one and-let's just say I learned the hard way not to set the damn things an auto-attack mode in a populated area.
What usually happens is a kind of quasi-posession arrangment where the Ensouled becomes something between a Stand and a Servant, and the beneficiary gets some limited access to the power along with some VERY CLEAR instructions/compulsions/flashing letters on what the task they're supposed to accomplish with them. The variations lie in how they achieve that task, and the Ensouled retains admin privileges to revoke access to the powers, leave the host or use a separate ability to hijack the host's body.
As for the other thing-I think it would depend on exactly which power-granting ability you mean, since from what I understand Ensouled are basically advanced, sentient magical constructs. So The Binding from Storm Hawks for example would probably work, but another perk fluffed as transplanting abilities via surgery probably wouldn't without other things backing it up.

>>47990491
> and the Ensouled retains admin privileges to revoke access to the powers, leave the host or use a separate ability to hijack
You know I never understood why the Entities apparently didn't have that kind of safety feature installed just in-case.
>As for the other thing-I think it would depend on exactly which power-granting ability you mean, since from what I understand Ensouled are basically advanced, sentient magical constructs. So The Binding from Storm Hawks for example would probably work, but another perk fluffed as transplanting abilities via surgery probably wouldn't without other things backing it up.
I was thinking of stuff like the Star wars Force Conduit granting the ability to use The Force, the post-Nartuo chakra awakening, the Psychologists perks ability to give people Peronas, and other similar stuff.

Damn it, this was supposed to be a response to >>47990513. No idea what happened there.
>>47988260
I didn't take Shadow. I damn well knew what was going to happen and there was no way it wasn't going to be depressing as fuck. Fuck that noise.
The fact that the Shadows are designed like horrible caricatures that make absolutely anyone look like a complete asshole inside with no redeeming qualities only strengthens my insistence on NOT taking Shadow.
>>47990686
night witch a best witch
>>47990678
Given that the perk explicitly mentions "any single magical ability you have"? Yes, you're misunderstanding something.
The perk can turn any of your magical abilities into a being similar to a clow card.
That's not all of your perks, but even without stuff like Crimson Saint it's a whole lot of possibilities.
>>47990725
But that's why they're fun!
>>47990615
How's it that a wanker? Because Imdidnt go "OH MY GAWD THATS NOT ME!" "IM THE PERFECT, AND THATS CLAIMING TO BE ME!"
If you haven't accepted yourself after how many years & decades, then you have serious issues. Besides having knowledge that your shadow is an exageration of yourself. Then it shouldn't have any power over you. Self acceptance is key.
>>47990669
I think it was implied the way the original system was set up, everything would run like clockwork such that the powers are wound up and set to wreck each other without any possibility of backfiring. Well, that and the Endbringers-especially the Simurgh-seemed to function as a punitive "safety feature" for the entire system. PIty they went rogue.
Heck, even in the canon timeline barely anyone had any success of derailing the cycle even after it was mostly broken.
As for the rest, I've no idea about the Force but given a Shadow awakened their own, I think the Persona granting would. I suspect the chakra awakening /alone/ wouldn't based on what I know about chakra but I also think it wouldn't be hard to adapt some seals or something to integrate within your Ensouled, especially if you have Castlevania's Dual Art, to enhance their forms to be able to process chakra.
>>47990678
In addition to what >>47990776 said, I used Real Eater to extend the ability to incarnate things like physical, spiritual and psychic abilities as necessary. This does, admittedly, mean certain perks that transcend or outvalue what can be adequately described as one or the other were beyond the technique's scope to incarnate at first so I had to do some more tweaks to it.
During the Fourth Holy Grail War I teamed up with Kiritsugu to safely extract the Lesser Grail from Irisviel using a magitech medical procedure, which involved spamming lots of restoration spells to replace removed bits of the dematerialised grail with human tissue until she was...some kinda human/hormunculus hybrid.
After exorcising Avenger from it, I fused the Lesser Grail with my Magic Core in order to tap a fraction of the Third Magic-not the full wish-granting but on Shadow Sakura's level, attaining effectively infinite prana capped at the output of a Counter Guardian.
Which I would, much later on, conjoin into the Ensoul magic technique in order to be able to Ensoul more esoteric abilities.
>>47990894
Because you didn't have any struggle with it at all. Your shadow is everything about you that you refuse to accept. Going "meh, whatever" is pure wank.
>>47990857
Honestly? It just comes off as a blunt hammer smacking you over and over because it isn't enough that you have to confront your issues, you gotta feel like a TOTAL DICK over it and feel your self-image being reduced to pond scum because now it's a case of "If I let my inner self out is THAT how I'm going to act?" or worse, it'll make you question if you even SHOULD let your inner self shine for fear of being ostracized and other people seeing you like that.
In the end it's trying to help you and make you confront that side of yourself, but it just comes off as "You are a gigantic douchebag and you should kill yourself for ever having these thoughts". It's probably nowhere as bad as I'm making it out to be and I'm likely overexaggerating, but it just seems... completely counter-intuitive to actually trying to help you.Unless that's the fucking point of it all.

Hmm, this guy could come in handy. He has a soul, I owe a soul to my friends on the other side. So off we go to see Gaston and I offer him a deal with a catch, he gives me the girl and I'll grant him a wish, however if he goes back to his jerkass ways his soul is forfeit. Strangely enough, he doesn't go into soul bankruptcy before my "friends" come to collect. I throw them a crystal full of bandit souls and tell them to keep the change. Alice, Tink and I get to wandering around enjoying what appears to be a nearly perpetual mardis gras. Enjoying the food and the music. Getting to know each other, until I prick my finger on a spindle of all things and go into a magical coma. Alice runs around in circles wondering what to do, and before she can attempt to wake me up Tink has already done the job. Honestly, after that it's more of the same with me effectively dating the both of them. By the end of my time here, I've given each of them a ring and they've signed the papers and we'll all be moving along. Gaston you ask? He actually wished to become a jazz musician. He is now enjoying his role playing all about the city and he doesn't lack for companionship.

Considering that personal shadows start showing up with Izanami, who has a grudge the size of the underworld and is pretty much looking for an excuse to wipe out everyone, I'm really not surprised that it's not actually supposed to help you.

80's action. K, I just had a heap big vacation, I could use some fun I guess. Next to join the queue from the queue's queue is Sims 3.
>>47991000
>spoiler
Pretty much. There's a reason why encounters with the things are confrontations rather than just kind of talking out your feelings until you become friends.
I mean, the whole Sea of Amala cosmology thing common to the SMT/Persona games is kinda like a naturally occurring Warp, except it's a fundamental part of all things rather than an aberration. A subtle distinction, but an important ones.
>>47991000
No, they are not trying to help you.
They're just the shitty parts of yourself, powered and amplified by the collective salt of the sea of unconsciousness.
That's why they're fun.
The catharsis of beating them up is also nice.
Also this >>47991023
>>47990776
>>47990947
Yeah, ok, I misunderstood the writing. In my defence, my heads killing me, so Ii can barely think straight.
>>47990954
You know, i'd actually be surprised if a centuries-old jumper had as many issues with his shadow as a teenager (which is what the Persona chars are). That's pretty much the worst time to confront your hidden fears.
There's also the out-of-setting knowledge that shadows distort and magnify those flaws in order to fuck you over, which should help significantly in lessening the impact.
Or you could just take the perk that's pretty much designed for this. It's called Self-Awareness and conveniently available in this jump.

>my face
>>47991000
That is the point, though. Your Shadows are the parts of yourself that you suppress because you're afraid of what people will think. Therefore, they use that fear in their manifestation. Worried that people will think you're just using your friend? Dominatrix banana sitting on a whole stack of people! Afraid people will think you're gay because you have girly interests? Welcome to the gay pride parade, let me literally hit you over the head with some giant golden make/make symbols. They take everything you're afraid of and make it into flesh to prove you don't have the guts to face yourself.
>>47991023
>>47991068
>>47991104
Well that just solidifies my desire to not confront my Shadow even more. If I wanted an excuse to feel like shit and get hammered in the head for my inner self being presented like a total asshole, I'd just go to other jumps and pick up some artifact/drawback that makes an evil doppleganger, or do a questionable act and give it time.
I don't need a caricature to walk up and go "lol what a total bitch you are", I'm perfectly capable of collecting those nagging thoughts myself.

It is, isn't it? Though I suppose there is at least that, that many of us are not so far gone that we don't realize it. With that, there is always the hope that we might become better people. That alone is worth striving for.
Well. I like to think so, anyway."Broken" was the word I used to describe myself, when Eevee confessed. I've forgotten a lot about that time, but I still remember that part clear as day.
Whatever feelings you have for me, I can't return. Whatever it is people are supposed to feel at times like this, I never have. The best I can offer you is my friendship.
I'm sorry I made you feel this way.
I told myself that I took that perk because I thought it would be cute. It would be fun, to make someone have a crush on me.
But I think the truth is...
I'm afraid I'm not worth being loved.
He said he understood. It was okay. But he slunk off to be alone for awhile. I didn't see him for the rest of the day.
Much later on, he evolved, as Pokemon are oft to do. He became a beautiful Sylveon.
That's what Eevees turn into when they care about someone enough.

I... actually did that.
There wasn't any kind of battle, at least not in the traditional sense.
Then again, I would hardly say we were friends.
It's more like, I said a BUNCH of shit, and they said a LOT of shit, and then I made a bunch of promises, and then we made a... a deal.
It wasn't just a simple conversation, either, I think I was in that room for at least well over an hour. Try having an externalized debate with everything you hate about yourself, which is also very actively hating you, and see how quick you tie that one up in a neat little bow.
But I made a lot of promises that I sorta, kinda, HAD to keep, or it would have ended poorly for me, because they were always watching, always waiting for me to reneg on the deal.
And after that, we worked together, for the duration of that year. I shouldered the weight.
And at the end of it, I was so very, very tired.
... so, anyway, because of reasons, I can't summon my Persona anymore outside the jump.Well, I think it's a better story than, "I kicked it's butt!"

"A heart to call my own" perk from Kingdom hearts.
So how big actually is a LoSS dragon with the max size boost? Like I know 3 old rag mountains but how long would that be. Wiki says it's 1,003 meters in elevation and 413m in Prominence. Does that make a fully grown dragon 3 km long and 1.2 wide? roughly.

>>47991351
Depends on what you mean by "lost".
I'm still the same person I was before, for better or worse (plus a psychologist perk).
I even saved everyone.
Hell, I got what some might call the "Golden Ending". Everyone threw a party for me on my last week. They said I was incredible!I ducked out of the scene early because I was tired.
Also, while I may not have a Persona anymore, the one I had during the jump totally kicked ass.
I kept every promise I made, and didn't even go insane.
Not every victory has to be a gigantic one.
At the end... even my shadow admitted that, while I WAS still a loser, maybe I wasn't completely worthless after all.Maybe I just wanted to prove something to myself.
...Also, dipping out of story mode for a moment, I don't actually like Personas -- or any "my soul attacks from outside my body!" mechanisms for that matter -- and think they're kindof dumb. I actually feel the same way about Stands.
I would A) Constantly forget I had a Persona, and B) Constantly refuse to use it for anything other than pounding mooks. I feel this is both a waste and kindof against the spirit of what a Persona is, and so it sortof acts as a way for me to write the thing out of my chain considering I don't actually want it anyway.
Also, again. I like the story for it more than just truncating the whole thing down to "I fought a guy."

If you buy the Red Stone, you can make them out of alchemic reagents. They are not as powerful or efficient, but they don't require any souls and you can make basically as many as you can find materials for, which, if you have properly calibrated matter converters, could even be infinite.
There's also the Sanguine Star, which is actually in the Brotherhood canon, which is basically just a Philosopher's Stone that requires a SHITLOAD of blood instead of souls. In addition to likely being capable of doing anything a normal Philosopher's Stone can do, you can also use it to shoot red lightning. So, y'know. That's pretty neat.
You can probably figure out how to make those either by going to the relevant area and doing research in the jump yourself, or just doing your own research on substitutions. Thrifty Thaumaturge from Young Justice would probably help with independent research, if you're into that.

No, you could totally rip and tear through there and that's the problem. You'd crush your enemies, and the dark powers would send more enemies your way, and more and more. Once you became used to that much violence they'd start corrupting you and, shortly thereafter, you'd be a Lord with your own little slice of the Demiplane of Dread.
Now, you'd never get to leave, but you could rip and tear to your hearts content there.

Don't go hacker, massive fucking trap option. Like any supernatural powers will have a big fucking banhammer after you.
>>47992006
What about anti-corruption perks? People always wank the dark powers, but isn't their exact level of power ambiguous besides being way stronger than the Lords?
>>47992037
It's also weirdly pointless, given that it costs the same to go Hacker and get a free cheat option as it is to go any other background and just buy the cheat at full price.
>>47992079
Yea that too.
>>47992050
Well, the Dark Powers are plot device so they don't have power as such. What we know about them is that they can kidnap whoever they want from within the D&D 'verse, and they do so with impunity. They can create realms ex nihilo. By realms we're not talking just the lands, but they construct it so that it's a Divine Comedy'esq retributive punishment for the Lord in question.
So, yeah, they probably get wanked but not as hard as you'd think.
And I wouldn't bet on anti-corruption perks saving me from them given how nebulous their powers and power levels are.
>>47992050
>What about anti-corruption perks?
This probably depends on if the Dark Lord thing requires actually being corrupted, or just acting like it. So you might want to research anti-binding magic.
>People always wank the dark powers, but isn't their exact level of power ambiguous besides being way stronger than the Lords?
To be more accurate their exact everything is ambiguous.
Unless things changes since I last checked there's literally no information on them besides "Responds to evil acts and traps things there".
For all we know the 'Dark Powers' could literally just be Ravenlofts version of gravity.

So you pretty it up in words about 'justice' and 'honor', so you have an excuse to cause others pain. How long until the dam breaks hmm? Maybe it has already?

Perks work on jump fiat. And jumpchan is definitely way stronger than the Dark Powers, given that she's capable of breaking the absolute law of copyright, which even they aren't capable of.

>>47992050
They don't actually need to corrupt you to keep you there. You are fucking with their toys on a massive scale if you are making stones. The powers are believed to be collectively on the level of the Lady of Pain, locally omnipotent with the power to take the countries of particularly wretched souls part and parcel and rip them from their worlds and create whole new portions of the plane of dread(it got upgraded from demiplane around about 3rd edition I think).
So RWBY Dust can be used in various ways. However could one tattoo them into the skin?
>>47992232
Ahh yes. "Vanity"
I forgot about that.
The World Ends With You:
So, the jump says that in order to play the "Resurrection Game", you need to give up whatever you hold most dear. Do you get to choose what this is, or does the game already know? And what if you consider several things as "most valuable"?
Everything on the list is something that matters a lot to me; but I know that if I spent a month without any one of these, I could easily regret not choosing another.
1. My morality
2. My freedom
3. The existence of sapient life
4. My mind
5. My memories
I'm probably missing a few others, but the point is that all of them hold equal value for me; would I choose one, have it selected randomly, or lose all of them?
>>47992208

Does the drawback "Dulled Bite" in VtR leave you with normal human teeth?
>>47992493
It's basically magic nitroglycerin.
Manyfist can probably do it, because he's just so cool.
>>47992388
Yes, it's mentioned in the Dust Video I believe, as an "archaic" form of Dust Manipulation. Powerful, but not much control.
>>47992493
When used in a specific fashion.
>>47992518
No.
>>47992544
Shoosh, I want to imagine a man replacing his skin with a suicide vest.
>>47992388
Yes, probably.

>Or even fusing it with their own bodies.
Sounds "close enough" to Tattoos to me.
>>47992392
It's not even the vanity. My Shadow being Vanity-based would imply that I haven't embraced and accepted that I'm vain in some manner. We've already accepted that I'm vain, I've turned down multiple min-max options and power options for the sake of going for beauty perks or maintaining the appearance I've so tenaciously crafted. Hell, I broke the Deadlight for that reason.
No, a hint of what my Shadow might be?"You stare at me... my resplendent form. My divine light. ...and yet it's not with awe. Why is that? What has you so hesitant, my dear?
Are you afraid that you'll end up like me? Hungry for attention that you'll bring low civilizations and lesser beings, to worship you like the goddess you are? That you'll reach a level of existence you research and study so much, an existence you fantasize, and become everything you hate in stories and legends?
...or is that a look of jealousy? Maybe you WANT to be like this. To give up all that restraint, all that fear... and just become more. I don't blame you. Anyone would want to be like this. Free, uncaring of what others think... uncaring of how your actions affect others. After all, gods are a higher being. Who cares what anyone else thinks? It's a glorious existence, for your actions alone to shape the world.
Look at you. I can see the anger boiling inside. Not because of your fear that you might end up like me, no. ...but the anger that I'm here.
Because you know that means you have the potential for me to be who you really are."Ugh. That is so fucking corny. I feel like some edgy teenager who's writing shitty doppleganger fanfiction in Mortal Instruments or Percy Jackson or something.
>>47992561
I'm now picturing an Endbringer type jumper made out of layers and layers of super compressed dust. Just daring someone to attack them so they can go off go off like an elemental nuke whenever a layer is breached.
>>47992645
Just throw them into space, then. Dust doesn't work in space. That's why Remnant hasn't used the antigravity tech they have to just leave their planet full of Grimm behind.
>>47992624
They are all corny in some was, it's all good Red.
God knows mine was corny.
>>47992645
I'm reminded of that one image, of the guy who's wearing a suit made of Babies so no one can attack him.
>>47992686
>Implying it's not that there are even Worse Grimm in space
>How do you think the moon broke?
>>47992712
No it was actually confirmed by the show creators that dust doesn't work outside of the atmosphere.
No word on space grimm though.
>>47992731
Fair enough, I was just trying to be funny though.
>>47992731
So its literal magic gunpowder?
I mean thats relevant to my interests but still

>>47988990
Fifth Element. Demolition Man. Those are the two that spring to mind.
>>47992760
It can do other things! But yes, it's some sort of crystallized geomantic energy. You can consume it to create elemental magic effects.
>>47988260
Remember that time when [insert embarrassing incident here]?
>>47992760
There's always a darker interpretation, which witch the way RWBY is going is possible.
It was Planted, on purpose, by some being.
For, as an example, the purpose of stopping humans from developing Technology that Doesn't Rely on Dust.
>>47992645
>>47992688
>>47992799
Endbringer?
Is bomb.
>>47992790
So Dust is to R.W.B.Y what Ezzo/mass effect fields are to Mass Effect, and whoever planted it is the equivalent of The Reapers?
>>47991154
This is true. The only shadow that accurately portrays the person they represent is Rise's.
>>47990663
I went edgelord because your shadow is meant to portray and magnify your negative traits, and take your worst fears about yourself and realize them. And the thing about actually, seriously being depressed is that you already believe all of that stuff about yourself, so if you haven't already killed yourself there's nothing for a Shadow to really do but make that attempt.

>>47992410
It's automated, you don't get to choose. Also a normal run of the Reaper's Game is a week, not a month. For reference we've seen everything from identity (week one's partner, ended up running around looking like her best friend), to memories (Neku week one was his own, Beat's were his sister's memories of him), to specific people (Neku week two), to entire groups of people (Neku week three, where his entry fee was the other players). You don't get to know what it is before entering.
>>47991719
50% of the time.
>>47992894
Yeah, but the Investigation Team's Shadows were being puppeted by Ameno-Sagiri. One that was "natural" would probably be a bit less harsh. More interested in making you see your actual repressed thoughts instead of caricaturing them for the sake of making you feel bad.
>>47992510
Yes, enjoy your flat teeth.
>>47991599
How long do you think it'd take to get that huge though?
>>47992837
Huh. Never thought of it that way.
It's fully possible, and just edgy enough for them to use.
>>47992954

About as long as it takes to cast the required time spells.

Well, then they just beat the shit out of you.
So, I've adopted the Generic Video game designer jump in the adoption folder, and have a WIP to show. So far I've added most of the perks, a drawback or two, and have replaced the wealth level with a starting company. Looking to see what people think
>>47993031
Exactly.
>>47992837
But Mass Effect fields facilitate space travel in that universe, where in RWBY it can't be used that way at all.
>>47991719
Happens a lot actually. I'm finding out through Jumpchain just how many things I've missed watching/reading/playing. I Jump pretty slowly because I don't like writing about a setting without knowing at least a bit.
I've spent the last two weeks dive bombing through Kamen Rider OOO, because my next jump is there.
Pic related, my face when watching.

Efficiently taking out enemy forces and occupying the areas they were.
>>47988260
>Has it ever occurred to you that most people people are fine with the world the way it is? I mean, I know you're a bit off in the head, but even you have to realize that not everyone would like even the smallest of changes. When some people don't even want to have AI Doctors because they think they might replace workers, how do you think they're going to respond to Symbiotes? Are you really going to change the lives of everyone you knew back then just because you feel it would be better for them? Of course you wouldn't. You're going to do it because you think it would be more interesting. After all, you would just hate it if you were to lose the only connection to who you once were, before you started this whole thing just because it bored you. So you'll try to paint the world in your colours, in change for the sake of change and the blood of those who are run over by you playing god and calling it progress. You might say you're changing the world to save it, but we both know why you really want to. You are really just an autistic child with markers, scribbling on the walls because you think it makes them prettier.
You know, I can tell you're me because you just spent five minutes ranting about your own flaws, thinking it might make yourself a better person. I don't need be a good person for this to work, I just need to become one eventually.
>You never will.
Go fuck yourself.
>That Sounds like a rejection to me.
Of course it is. People change over time, so why can't I be a better person?
>Well, you know how this goes. I am a shadow of the true self.
It was fairly painful.

Or do you want a list?
>>47993475
There are definitely more than just those.
>>47993035
I like the idea of having multiple capstone boosters. Adds some neat extra complexity.
>>47993035
I want to go Indie Programmer and make my own stuff, but damn, the various effects Artist and Designer get from capstone boosting are tempting.
And, I think R&D should be expanded to cover in-house development for consoles in general. So, basically a little bit of hardware stuff, marketing concepts to the company itself, and making games using outside (technically inside, if you think about it) resources. But that's probably bloated as hell, or just ineffective.
