I'm going to go ahead and post this again. I have the resources and a rough notepad set up for a second version, but haven't really gotten around to working much on it past that. Not sure when it'd be done.
>>48099246
/cyoag/ is dead
>>48100332
>>48099928
Maybe if you're just using it to stay motivated or help yourself, but not when you're using it to tell someone there's something wrong with them for being miserable over something awful that they can't change, or telling them that if they can't "just see the positive", then they deserve to suffer anyway.
>>48100332
You say that like it's a bad thing.
>>48100332
/cyoag/ doesn't die, it merely sleeps, awaking occasionally to spew another drama filled shitstorm.
Also /cyoag/ threads are usually dead during Sundays. Apparently most of us work or have important shit to do during the weekends.
Making a google drive with some choice CYOAs; about 25 on there right now as I continue to go through them.
No waifu stuff, no fetish stuff, no meta-CYOAs, no CYOAs with only one choice. If you're into that, more power to you, and no judgement; I'm just telling you what is there.
It has both split-images of the CYOAs and the originals. I know most people like the big images; good for you. I do not. Both are there.
I've appended the author's names where I have them to the folder name. IF you know any more of the authors, I'd love to be able to give credit.
Anyway, here it is: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7BuylZWKxemRXZsNEI5ZWRYRjQ&usp=sharing
I'll be continuing to add to it.
This is primarily a project for my wife and I to use; I'm sharing it because why not? If you don't like it, or if you don't care that I'm sharing it, that's fine.

>>48100332
I always feel weird when someone posts Traveller's Tale. On one hand there's clearly an immense amount of work that was put into it and I can respect that.
On the other hand, it's 164 pages and it just takes so. fucking. long. to actually read through. Then afterwards I feel the need to go back and modify everything and it takes forever. It's like it was developed past the point of any real necessity to include every suggestion or something.

>buy perks to make yourself a master wizard
or
>buy perks to be Suzy Home Maker, whose main talent is knowing how to get around their city and writing pretty thank you cards.
I am paralysed with indecision.
>>48100889
Take a fuckload of drawbacks and do both.
>>48100889
If it helps, there's a billion wizards that Highlander has to sift through in order to find interesting ones.
If you make Suzy Home Maker, that's sure to get her eye and get in the ranks. In fact, I'm gonna try and make something like that.

Ivithar grew up in awe of the magus-engineers of his civilization, aspiring to join their ranks. But their apocalyptic mistake taught him that all that glitters is not gold. While still haunted by the ghosts of his past, Ivithar tries to put his passion of hunting to use. Having seen what evil men are capable of (intentionally or unintentionally) Ivithar joined the legislators to prevent further devastations and test his skills. So now he trains under the best mentors he could find, refining his Technomage talents and perfecting the art of the hunt. Vigilantism can be fun as well as rewarding. And with the entire multiverse to explore, there will be plenty of wanderlust, adventure, and chase to be had.
I don't know man. i just read a couple pages here and there when I had the time. Its pretty much like reading a book. Take it where you can when you can.
>>48098039
>Start at 3 years old.
Best to start young to adjust to the new things.
>Full shapeshifting any form -35
Technical immortality. If not by simply shapeshifting into a younger form than by taking a form that doesn't age normally. Also covers attractiveness.
>Permanent gender change -5 (changes my birth changer)
In order to be born a girl, even though it's not necessary with shapeshifting in the long run. I want to learn this way
>Less tech (10 years) +5
I'm going to take this to mean that I'm somehow born 10 years earlier, since tech and world events are pretty inextricably linked. This is actually within reason without changing anyone else, and probably explains why my parents are poorer.
>Full immune -15
In case shapeshifting can't cover disease.
>Monsterpeople world -10
Most live separate. Monsterpeople in human cities are uncommon but not unheard of, not always welcomed but very rarely harmed.
>Magic Exists -15
Most people don't know it exists, but if you know how it's relatively easy to develop magical talent. Spells are learned and cast naturally, not through ritual and study. Some monsterpeople are naturally magical but most are in the same boat as humans.
>Poorer family +10
This one is probably going to be very bad, since my parents were already struggling.
>Slightly more lucky (free)

>Easier to get fat +5
Shapeshifting nullifies it, provided I use it actively.
>Weaker +5
Compared to what I am NOW, being weaker as a girl only makes sense. Shapeshifting probably nullifies it anyway.

I guess shapeshifting both explains and helps mitigate this.
Did BoxWine ever update the academy CYOA?
>>48100882
It's not too bad for me, since a lot of the pages can be avoided for the most part. But I know that this kind of CYOA isn't for everyone, so you do you.
If it helps, here's the 40-ish page version: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/43r0qdm4sm895/The_End_Approaches

I think he said he was working on something else for a time, to avoid getting burnt out on Hero Academy. Might be misremembering.
>>48101105
He got burned out so he's taking a break.
>>48100776
Honestly not sure how to do that. I will look into it though.
I'm not really a proper 4chan-er.
Could some kind anon please help me out? I'm looking for a cyoa that pretty much involves taking over an african or south american nation and ruling it. It was diplomacy-based, and you could choose why you were chosen as ruler (some of the options were you had an artifact on you or the natives thought you were a divine being) as well as advisors and such. The format was similar to the Paladin cyoa I believe. If someone knows what I'm talking about, I'd really appreciate if they'd post it, or at least give me the name so I could google it.
>>48101215
>I'm not really a proper 4chan-er.

>>48101250
Are you talking about The Man Who Would Be King?

>>48101256
I think he just wants you to put all the author info into and things.
Pastebin is just a site that saves plaintext data, if that's what you're wondering about.
>>48101391
I'm adding authors to the CYOAs for all the ones I have been able to find them. Which is, unfortunately, only about half so far.
And thanks for the info. I did know pastebin was for storing plaintext, I just haven't ever used it to store anything. I doubt it is hard to figure out, though, so no worries.
>>48101264
Yes! Upon googling it I have found a link! Thank you so much! Also, out of curiosity, do you know if the same person who made the paladin cyoa made this one? And if so what other cyoas they've made? Paladin and man who would be king are probably my favorites.

Is there a requirement to be a traveller or can anyone join as long as they were recruited by one?

Gift: The Deck of Cards
My mind isn't clouded like most other capes.
I'll never truly have a cape identity. I'll operate entirely through clones, directing them to control key capes and other influential figures.
Despite my perfect memory, I'll likely need to consult Number Man and Contessa on who to prioritize.
I'll probably take over the villains first, but soon enough I'll control everyone.
Maybe at some point I'll be able to arrange some sort of controlled release of prisoners from the Birdcage, but that's in the (relatively) distant future.
We'll save the world, and the world will hate us for it, but it's worth it to continue our species' existence.
>>48102371
Highlander has at least few pages worth of builds from the threads. Some of em are in the image version.
Is this cyoa new?
The first time I saw it was a couple threads ago.
Is the author still around?
>>48102599
>>48102624
>>48102371
Highlander takes builds from people who submit them, generally those who add in some good lore and maybe a companion sheet, and edits them slightly then adds them.
>>48102641
>>48102627
Oh, I see, thanks. I had a question but after thinking about it I realized my question was retarded.
>>48102326
There's a test for ethereal and time shit iirc, but if the recruiter gives you the okay, then you're a Traveller.
Even if the system managed to recruit a Servo-skull with the intelligence of a housecat.
>>48102326
There's some kind of nebulous special property that even the Travellers don't really understand. A gift or power given by the Great Old Ones when they were supposed to be their harbingers. Something relating to how you interact with space and time. Hence why you can make traveller ash soap and it protects you from temporal misshaps, or why they're exempt from the time stop devices. You also have to pass a psych eval too I think.
>>48102652
I'm probably a moron, but what is "Bac My Goa" that's in Jackson's description under his picture? Is that a real thing?
>>48102599
Yep, I'm the author.
No it was made about 1-2 months ago. It never took off since I posted it about the same time as Master Beri posted his OC.
>>48102719
Don't think so. Couldn't find anything using google either.

How big are Behemoths and Wraiths? I was imagining 8 feet for Behemoths and 7 for Wraiths.
>>48102874
I think it's referring to how Cauldron shit and the Truce means that Protectorate Heroes generally can't accomplish any lasting improvements, since the status quo just rolls right back around when an Endbringer hits and all the villains are set free to help fight it.

>Mark IX "Ultra" Armor
The lack of resistance to Energy Weapons is a tad worrying, but I should be overall fine, and the Juggernaut's too slow for my build.
>Mobius Crystals
More useful for Keegan.
>Purifier, Rations
Water is essential, and the rations will help if we can't get food.
>The Dogs of Talos
Mercenary work's the best way to stay afloat in the Wasteland, and the Dogs' aren't fanatical idiots.
>>48103015

Background: Wraith
Perks: Plasmoid, Demolisher
Skills: Electric Storm, Mutated Hide, Fury in Agony, Exhume, Greater Regeneration
Companion: Michonne Keegan
Armor: Mobius Crystals (X2)
Survival Items: Rations, Boost
Faction: The New Human Alliance
Being immune to explosives would confer an enormous resistance to force and being immune to electricity would confer an enormous resistance to heat. The crystals would help our resistance against extreme temperatures and general defense even more. As for what I'm going to be doing I like the idea of uniting Sanctuary and The New Human Alliance to the benefit of us both. Under ideal terms they won't even have to fight so long as they help supply our faction and don't work against us. With a good head there are few things that could really stop us. If they can't be convinced our biggest threat is without a doubt The Emperor's Children. In my free time I think I'll try to help Sanctuary even if they don't want to help us directly and maybe see if I can convince Keegan to let me touch her butt.
>>48103434
>being immune to electricity would confer an enormous resistance to heat
Not in this case, it's more of your body is an insulator.
A Plasmoid is not resistant to high temperatures innately.
>Being immune to explosives would confer an enormous resistance to force
Can't think of a way to make it so that is not true.....I suppose you win this round until I can.
>>48103493
>it's more of your body is an insulator.
I hadn't thought of that. That works. I can accept that I only half look like an ass.
>>48103493
It could be a specific type of force. Like sudden force, or non-material force. There's a significant difference between an explosion and a bullet, for instance, even when the two have about the same amount of impact.
Hell, make it resistance, specifically, to the penetrative force of a blast wave, which can cause organ trauma to those caught in it, if the explosion is powerful enough, without leaving a scratch on the victims.
>>48098992
>>48099011
>The Stones
>The Mirror
>The Box/The Portal
No rule that says you can't continually enumerate on slight changes made with the mirror to become a completely different person.
24 hours is... not a lot of time. I have a friend that I'd like to let use the stones and mirror before I go, and they live sixteen hours away, by car, in another state. They do own a truck, however, so that's not completely off of the table.
Use the time between me receiving the gifts and them arriving to make changes to myself, to make myself fairly androgynous and athletic looking, remove fat, build muscle, make myself younger, etc, go to the store once they get here and get started with their own changes, and just while away the time until I leave, walking around, talking, etc. A couple of minutes til, put everything I've picked up into a backpack I've brought with me, find a bench, and sit down. Maybe have friend sit on my lap, with one arm around their waist to see if I can take them with me, because they'll probably be small enough to be carried by the time they get done with their changes.

Why can't this happen for a good CYOA like Paperwork Error? (Where is that CYOA gone I wonder.)
>>48102130
remember that time when worm cyoa was good?
>>48104247
>Waaah, I can't be Triumvirate-tier and stomp everyone without taking drawbacks
So, everything is fine.
>>48105580
Which one of them? There's five or more different ones, from what I've heard.
>>48105579
Paperwork error was the shit.
Wait, I made a mistake.
Paperwork error was shit.
There we go.
>>48105579
what's stopping you from doing it?
>>48105625
>Waaah, the cyoa is viable if you take all drawbacks and the 20 point powers
Geez, thanks. That doesn't make 99% of the cyoa redundant at all.
>>48105891
Separate forms of currency would have helped, having to spend points on items that could be spent on powers- it doesn't make it ideal to buy items. Personally I still prefer the 4th iteration of worm, simply because you have a sliding scale of power and non-power options are actually more interesting.
>>48105891
'Viable' means 'roflstomping everything' to you?
A question for Highlander if he is still alive.
Can I get more detail on the "Collosi" armor in the Traveller CYOA?
>>48105961
You've clearly got 0 knowledge of Worm. It's stomp or be stomped, and most of the single 20 point powers are not even close to making you stompworthy.
>>48106014
>It's stomp or be stomped
The same thing could be said about literally everything. There is no such thing as 'half-stomped'.
>>48106042
That's nonsense. There's plenty of settings where a comfy lower power build is viable. Worm doesn't tolerate that shit. The less power you have in Worm as a parahuman, the more dangerous your life becomes. Not to mention becoming an expendable bug in the great Taylor Hivemind against Scion.
>>48106014
With immunity to path to victory, blind spot and care free you're already safe from pretty much everything happens in the story other than Zion himself. Add to that some meta-knowledge and you could effectively save the world without powers. Just track down That hobo guy in the U.K. and try to persuade him to let you speak to Zion and you could just tell the big golden faggot to fuck off. Maybe trying to get revenge on that Abbadon fucker will make him happy.
And again, that's without taking any powers.
>>48106094
That's 5 of your 10 points, and I'd argue that going to look for Scion negates the "as long as you don't go looking for trouble" clause of Care Free. Telling him the fuck off seems like a terrible idea.
Anyway, it leaves you 5 free points to spend on powers, companions and a benefactor. Good luck with that.
>>48106126
Don't tell him to fuck off then. Tell him about Abbadon. Tell him that the death of Eden wasn't just a mistake, but a case of cold blooded murder. Even if it's not true, if you can direct Zion's inevitable tantrum towards some incomprehensible god-thing and away from Earth you've already succeeded in saving the day. And it's not like he'd have a reason not to believe you. He's already insanely open to suggestion.
>>48102206
What's with all the names? How am I supposed to know who all these people are?
>>48106186
>How am I supposed to know who all these people are?
By having read Worm, I'd guess.
>>48106207
Alright, how do I do that?

Plenty of people successfully survived to the end of the story with weak powers.
But I guess that's just your opinion on this and nothing I say will change it. A pity, really.

So is worm pretty much some shitty fiction written by some teenager?
>>48106404
Taylor controls bugs. As in, every single bug, worm, or any other living animal with a simple enough brain within a radius of 3-4 city blocks. She wants to be a hero, and on her first night out patrolling the city ends up getting into a fight with Lung, who is quite possibly the 7th or 8th scariest mother fucker on the planet. Through sheer dumb luck and a little assistance she manages to knock him out long enough for the leader of the local government endorsed super hero team to take him in. Some teenage villains mistake her for a villain and offer to let her join up. Hero guy mentioned that they'd been having a lot of trouble nailing these teenage rascals so she joins up with them with the intent of finding out where their base is and who they work for so she can turn them over to hero guy. Over time however she comes to really enjoy their company and it's also revealed hero guy is quite an asshole, so she decides to stick with the villains for a while and see what happens. This is the start of Worms infamous ladder of escalation. Things tend to get worse for everybody quickly from here on out, and we're not even halfway through the story. This worlds version of Godzilla sniffs out all the gang violence and crazy shit going on in the city and decides "yeah, I think I'm going to go fuck their shit today." The thing about when a Kaiju attacks in this world is that these fuckers are so overpowered, EVERY superhuman comes to drive them off. Heroes, villains, and super-business men alike all come to uselessly scratch at them until they decide they've had enough and head back to the ocean.
The city is now a disaster zone, Taylor found out that one the assholes who tormented her for 3 years is on the super hero team, Leader of that team is put on house arrest for pulling sneaky shit during the Kaiju attack, and everything is well and fucked. cont. We're about a quarter way through the story.
>>48106469
About, by and for teenagers. Yes.
>>48106485
Well, that sure doesn't sounds like something I'd be interested in.
I have to break this into paragraphs

>Taylor found out that one the assholes who tormented her for 3 years
So the author got revenge on her high school bully in fictive form I take?
>>48106485
Taylor and the rest of the Undersiders become yakuza style warlords and take territoy in the city to try and keep shit under control while the city is rebuilt. There's this creepy fucker called coil whose just pain the ass for everyone, and these shit heads called the slaughter house 9 show up. The slaughter house 9 are collectively considered to be on the same threat level as one of the Kaiju, and came to the city to recruit after losing their 9th member. They cause a lot of trouble, kill a lot of people, but eventually have there asses handed to them except for their leader Jack Slash and a couple of his cronies. During all this a precog predicts that if Jack Slash doesn't die he will cause the end of the world. He survives. Meanwhile Taylor and co. have had enough of this Coil guy's bullshit and plan to kill him. He manages to piss off what is effectively a Kaiju he had in his basement and it starts rampaging all over town. Yada Yada, Taylor's identity is revealed, she's kind of hassled into joining the heroes Jack Slash goes into hiding and 2 years later the world fucking ends. Taylor gets her power limiter broken into pieces and bullies the apocalypse into suicide. The ending is like Evangelion, but without the bitter sweet message.
All this is written well enough that it doesn't come off as shitty teenager fiction.
>>48106538
The writer's a dude, and also I'd have to explain how people get powers to begin with.
>>48106560
>All this is written well enough that it doesn't come off as shitty teenager fiction.
As if.
>>48106538
Surprisingly no. After fighting Godzilla, Godzilla's bigger older brother and being a ganglord for the better part of the year Taylor really stops caring about little things like school bullying. The cunt gets sent to Juvie but Taylor ends up just breaking her and all the other imprisoned capes out of Super Jail to help stop the Apocalypse.
WHERE IS THE OC?!
does anyone else memorize all the potentially useful options in a CYOA including costs to the point that they can work out builds without even looking at the CYOA itself?
I've been told I have an exceptional memory for crap like this but I wondered if it wasn't more normal.
>>48106595

what
>>48106623
It varies from person to person, but think it's effectively how it works in the Deadpool Movie. Someone needs to be subjected to some kind of intense trauma and if they're (un)lucky they get to shoot fire from their eyes and lightning out their arse. Sometimes it's something immediate and intense like a car crash, other times it's more of a 'straw that broke the camel's back' type of situation. With a bunch of little things leading up to a tipping point.
For Taylor it was a bit of a mix.

A biological antenna is implanted inside their head that connects them to the corpse of one of many planetsized lovecraftian horrors.

Powers come from little pieces of these god-like space whales called entities. Each shard has A-lister, cosmic level superpowers at it's disposal, but for the sake of not turning every single parahuman into an OP bitch, they only let their host access a relatively small portion of that power. Taylor has the local bio-kinetic fuck with her brain until she's effectively more alien god-bit than human.
And I meant that bullying thing literally. The end villain is one of those magic spacewhale gods throwing a tantrum because it's 'mate' died. Taylor just keeps reminding it that it's partner is dead and that it's going to die alone and that all destroying all of humanity is going to do is use up what's left of it's life faster. In the end it just decides 'fuck it' and suicides.

this is my shattered limiter notes : Shattered Limiter : Super Speed = Immeasurable Speed, possesses a limitless level of speed and velocity, can move at speeds that not even the most attuned of beings can grasp and outrun or avoid anything an opponent can use against the user, The user can move at infinite velocities, allowing the user to easily surpass trans-time velocity movements and beyond. And also can move at speeds so that allow the user to move past time and space itself.This power will also affect user's reflexes and mind, making the User has glaringly, obviously and godly/Immeasurably superior reaction speed and mind.and be able to perceive event that lasts than a Centillion Planck time because the user's
capabilities are pushed beyond the natural level, making the user able to react and think faster without the need to train. The user also has full control over the speed power and reaction speed. And also the user possesses automatic, extraordinary reflexes that are entirely involuntary. Especially when there's Threat, Hazard, Danger targeting the user. The user can easily go to 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mach at 0.000000000001 Planck time, The maximum mach speed the user can go is incalculable or limitless, The user also becomes extremely tough while moving at high speed making the user's body become Centillion beyond calculation tougher and since the user is also become very extremely invulnerable, the user's finger and body will not broke even by such extreme speed force that could shatter anything, the user can move a Centillion times faster than the speed of light easily, The user's godly speed does not connected to the speed-force or any kind, rather it comes from the user itself. The user will also become fully control, comprehend, and understand the speed, for example the user will understand at what speed

it will take to damage things surrounding the user, And what speed to time-travel, and what speed the user currently on. And no matter how fast the user is, The user will not turn into light, sound or gooey stuff because the body can handle any speed the user is currently on, making the user The fastest thing even when competing against omnipotent beings. Even when the fastest of beings go "slow-motion", for them the user seems more faster than them the user is so fast that their slow motion speed abilities can't see the user
>>48106861

>>48106863
Shattered Limiter : Super Strength = Immeasurable Strength, the user possesses a limitless level of strength and offensive power that can distort or do immense damage to anything in existence, the user also capable of effortlessly defeating extremely powerful endbringers, deities, and Entities, and able to surpass the strongest of beings with nothing but the raw force of the user's physical blows. Which capable of stopping a superhumanly fast healing rate (except the user's own fast healing rate powers) Any level of weight the user needs to lift is irrelevant as the user's body can emit force that can repel an object of any mass. With this ability, the user could shatter galaxies with the user's fists alone and even tear through space-time anomalies with the sheer force of the user's strikes. If there is an unstoppable force and/or an immovable object, The user can

>>48106880
destroyed it in an instant by making an impact with any parts of the user's body. Same goes for indestructible objects, Siberian for example will die and obliterated upon impact with any parts of the user's body. Endbringers will die instantly upon being punched or kicked by the user, they will explode into tiny little pieces, and even if they did somehow miraculously survived the attack, they no longer can regenerate parts of their bodies and will be highly vulnerable and extremely weak that even a child punch will kill them instantly, Even immortal and/or ammortal things/beings will die and obliterated once they are punched by the user. If there's someone/something that the user hate and/or make the user angry, this power will be able to paralyzed and making them suffer an extreme pain so great that even omnipotent beings cannot handle 1 second of it for 1 hour and then died, This effect however will not work on the user itself but can be used to anything and anyone even the creator of omnipotent beings and its creations. And if somehow if the user managed to punch the user's body and/or any parts of the user either by redirection abilities or some other things, while in rage and/or while hating someone/somethings, this effect will not work and will be nulified. If what the user punched is reality warper or incorporeal to the the physical world beings or a clone of something or projected avatar form or a physical manifestation of astral beings or even the astral beings itself, it will still affect them, even if what the user punched is a mere physical manifestation of somethings or even avatar projection, or even a light form or dark form or any elemental form, the user can hurt them. And it will still affect the true soul or the owner of the physical manifestation of it, even ghosts can still be affected even if the user can't touch them. Those who have plot armor will also be affected making their plot armor useless.
>>48106774
The one you're complaining about (>>48102130) and the one you think is better (>>48106723) are two different CYOAs, both are just using the same setting. The one I referred to as having a non-shit latest update is the latter.
>>48106892
Even things that cannot feel pain will feel tremendous amount of pain by this ability. The user is also has full control and restrain over the strength power and fully comprehend the user's strength.

We are fucking with you to an extent. The "giant magic space whales" is just a humerus way to describe the entities. They're more like Lovecraftian elder gods, made up of trillions upon trillion of 'shards' with each shard being around the size of a small city. The giant space whales find sentient races, like humans, to give powers because despite being fucking enormous super powered gods they aren't capable of thinking creatively. So they give us monkeys powers and tell 'go find new ways of using these'. Their end goal is to stop entropy forever, making sure that they will truly never die.
>>48106986
>>48107034
It's a really great book not just because it is an internal portrait of a certain kind of troubled youth (not the kind that most readers who dislike the book claim -- "Holden is self-absorbed and has no real problems" is a frequent criticism), but also because the book is misinterpreted with the same willful blindness that the main character rails against.
The main character has been sexually abused by adults throughout his life. Other people know about it but pretend that nothing happened. Most readers also pretend it didn't happen despite the book saying this in as many words.
>>48107040
>fucking enormous super powered gods they aren't capable of thinking creatively.
>So they give us monkeys powers and tell 'go find new ways of using these'.
Like the generic concept of a cyoa:

It's pretty clever though. They can hand out millions of shards globally, and then let us do their work evolving and expanding those shards. Then they easily reclaim them and repeat the process. It's a very clever way to delegate your own ascension.

Yeah, also during the reclamation process they convert all matter on earth into energy to fuel their trip to the next planet of monkeys. Or more accurately they convert the matter of Earth, and every single parallel version of earth into energy.

That's only half of it though. These elder gods traveled as a pair, and were basically two halves of a whole. Zion is 'the warrior' in that he carries all of the powers used for combat and such.
Eden is the one that actually did all the thinking. Zion is like Benny to Eden's George, except int this case George gets shanked by Curly and Benny is left alone and just decides to keep working on the ranch because he can't think of what else to do. Then Jack Slash comes in and tells him he'd feel better if he just burned the ranch down and he goes along with it because he's fucking Benny.
Then Taylor bullies him and makes fun of George and reminds him that he'll never see that little house and he'll never tend the rabbits so he goes off and drowns himself in a river.
I think I mixed my metaphors here, but you get the point.
>>48107279
An almost omnipotent but not omniscient being could still miscalculate and through a twist of fate end up giving humanity the tools to banish it. Especially if a similar rival being involved itself and nudges humanity in the right direction to do so. Or even more luck-based if a freak occurence weakens the almost omnipotent being just after handing out powers and he has to retreat to a personal demesne to regain his strength, giving his beneficiaries a window of opportunity in which they might follow him and turn their powers against him. Many more scenarios are possible.

I am a male delinquent who has somehow become student president. Due to my reputation, there have been rumors about things that I may or may not have done before winning the election, causing the general student populace to act scared in my presence. As a result, I am not that popular (at first) and love life has suffered for it.
Morio is my running mate from before I was student president, and acts as the vice president. Hitoshi was one of the only students at first that was unphased by any rumors that surrounded me, and joined the student council to make himself look good on his resume. A man of few words, he is nonetheless smart enough to act as treasurer. While it may seem unusual for the principal to be on good terms with a former delinquent, my presence at school kept any unruly students from acting out, and he was grateful for the peace that I enforced. Natsume was unafraid to do whatever it took to get her next scoop, and quickly struck a deal with me to trade information for information.
While at first the former student president was a little wary of me given my reputation, the fact that I was making an honest effort to better the school did much to ease her fears. When personal tragedy struck her I rose to the occasion, performing my duties as well as comforting her in her bereavement.
CONT.
>>48107541
Fate used to be an interesting take on various mythological characters and their modern interpretation. Now it's... not so interesting any more.
>>48107574
During my second year, I was too busy looking after the student council to deter the trash of the school from forming up under some upstart who named himself "King". Using a combination of Morio's underworld connections, Natsume's information gathering and propaganda, the principal's approval and my own personal prowess, I succeeded in breaking up King's mob and forcing his expulsion from the school.
It turned out that King's father was high up in the school board, and threatened to shut the school down using the flimsy excuse of it using up too much funding. The only way to keep the school up and running was to enter the nationalTankwondotournament to prove the school's prestige to the school board. Rallying the entire school behind me, we entered the tournament using exclusively American tanks, Culminating in our winning the tournament on the most sacred of days: July 4th.USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

Your build would be more interesting if you didn't pick likeable, rich and wisdom/intelligent. Those are not delinquent qualities, unless you want to be one of those rich tsundere bullies.
>>48107555
what would you want in an expansion?
>>48107651
Anything. It's a really interesting premise that reminds of me a bit of Claymore and Berserk. The demon absorbing into weapons/armour is an awesome concept too. It's just a bit barebones currently being a 1 choice cyoa.
Maybe some fellow recruits you can befriend/waifu? Or a demon to hunt with an appropriate reward? Some more on your background as the underdog guard?The underdog theme was a really good idea btw.

>>Not understanding that the whole point of the book is the Holden isn't yet an adult so he thinks stupid things
>>Not understanding that the actual plot of the book is about a man coming to terms with complexities in the world
>>>>>Not realizing it's actually possible for someone to fully understand a story and still think it's complete shit
Normally I think the 2deep4u counter is retarded, but that's literally what your argument boils down to. Shit things are still shit, even if it's the special brand of shit you can personally enjoy. I love me some HFY and even I realize an overwhelming majority of the stories are complete fucking shit full of Mary Sues but I'm not about to defend any of them.
>>48107612
M8 I've basically made GTO: America Edtion for July 4th. You can make a case for the rich thing, but if you think that Onizuka ISN'T likeable/wise/intelligent you've got another thing coming.

so you want to tack on an extra "pick from one of these"? That's generic, too.
>waifu
absolutely not
>a job
possible, but sounds boring
>more background
would ruin it imo. It would force you into a specific role, rather than you coming up with your own backstory for why you did this.
>being an underdog was nice
I'm still surprised anon didn't scream at it. Then again, it only got 3 responses when it was posted, so that's probably why.If I had any ideas, I could expand on it.
I will not turn it into a boring, generic "you're a soldierdude in a fantasy world now"

Can you waifu yourself?
>>48107726
Except it's like complaining that you hate Moby Dick because you think revenge is wrong. You'd not only be missing the point of the novel, you'd be assuming it promotes the opposite.
Now I'm not trying to say people have to love it or even like it, but hating it because you think it's about how great the main character is when it clearly is not is pretty fucking dumb.
People who haven't even read it hate the book because they've been told that Catcher is about some whiny rich boy and that's it. Even at my school we didn't read it and were told by the teachers that it was just about some marry-sue white boy. Catcher hasn't been held in high regard by the general public for decades.
>>48107928
Already beat you to it.
>>48107090
>like Madoka
I fucking wish the entities were half as smart as kyuubey's people.
History lesson. The entities used to exist as smaller versions of themselves on some planet out in bumfuck nowhere. They had no natural predators and bullshit magical powers, so they bred and bred until they filled up the entire planet on all of the couple quintillion alternate universes that exist. Then, running out of natural resources, they went into a cannibalistic orgy and devoured each other until they reached a triple digit population. This event was so horrifying that the survivors vowed it would never happen again. This exact cycle then continued, as the story states verbatim "this happened no less than one hundred and seventy times". On the 171st occasion of this event, one fish-whale thing says "Can we maybe come up with a way to stop this?"
He was promptly eaten.
Now, instead of inventing condoms, or just not breeding, the Entities decided that they needed to solve entropy so that they could sustain an infinite population, each member of which could live infinitely.
So they all merge together into gestalt elddritch gods, and because of how retarded they are, decide to set off to find intelligent life that can think of ways to sustain an infinite population. That's where humans come in.
Entities would camp out in space, hooking humans up with powers with limiters built in to make them less useful, then not telling humans what they're supposed to do, implanting psychological nodes that make capes less intelligent and more prone to doing stupid shit, and in some cases giving people powers that are explictly trying to kill them, like Leet's shard.
They would then get pissy when humans didn't accomplish anything of note other than grinding out some XP for the shard, atomize the world, then move to the next planet.
>>48107864
What kind of ideas you looking for then?The "problem" with your cyoa and probably why you only got 3 responses, is that it's a 1 choice cyoa and very open-ended. It's fun to think about but not to build. It's a shame because you're really onto something here.
>>48107967
This is wrong in that it implies the entities were doing this to some galactic human empire. They're doing it to various aliens on various planets, only in the cycle focused on in the story are humans involved.
>>48105997
Not Highlander, but apparently the comparison for the Mech Armor is:

>>48108002
anything that prevents it from being
>pick a friend, too
or
>generic soldierdude pick a weapon and armor
>>48108030
I thought that it was humanity every time, just hopping between the alternate Earths each time, since Aleph being untouched implied that the entities hadn't gotten to it on the checklist yet.
>>48108147
Nope. Their method of FTL specifically involves blowing up every alternate reality version of a planet to get to the next planet, and on top of that there are many more Entities than Eden and Scion, like Abaddon who is also important for how the story happened.
>>48108089
The ancient greeks believed that the foundation of art was to improve and variate on an existing theme. They had little interest in the modern concept of "creativity".
There's nothing wrong with following a more generic cyoa template assuming the content of your cyoa is not generic.Otherwise maybe something more episodic? So we have a mentor now, but what happens next? Do we face a threat, or just graduate, maybe get our own recruit? Can we choice which locations to visit during our apprenticeship? I don't know... turn it into a story.
>>48108267
>there's nothing wrong with being generic
I won't make it that.
>episodic
possible. There will have to be huge time jumps, of course, so that'll likely turn off most players.
>>48108418
Time skips are more than okay if they make sense and are not longer than necessary.
"You finished your training, now decide X" Okay!
"You finished your training, became a mentor, saved the world twice, married a malaysian transexual, somehow had 5 children, travelled back in time, now decide X" Not okay...
>>48108513
This desu senpai, It creates a nice sense of progression and can open up lots of possibilities, like having friends come up again later on where your choices before effect what you can choose in stage 2.
>>48108513
I see how to do it, but I have a number of projects I have to do first.

Thrown away like some childish toy during the start of a divine age in his time. Glimmer was made to be an eternal sentinel of his time, infused with divine powers, trained in martial arts and wizened by being made outcast Glimmer continued his duties as he saw the world he loved tear itself apart turning from utopia to broken hell in mere years.
After leaving the main continent right before it was literally set on fire by a powerful pyromancer, Glimmer was found stalking several powerful warlords in the husk of an enlightened city.

Why not all of them, Anon? Do you not dedicate at least an hour of your day to reading? Are you some fucking pleb who only reads words on a shitty image board?

None of them. I'd rather subtly claim a single Kingdom and live the life of a royal. No idea which Kingdom I'd pick though. Maybe Miragus.

Then you sir should go play the less crushy version known as Kingdom Diplomacy

I join the mob in Vilerow and use my psychic powers (perhaps with a bit of mind control) to work my way up to the top. From there, I can live the easy life off protection money, gambling, etc. If any problems arise, I've got an army of subservient criminals to deal with them; I don't have to break a sweat.
>>48102599
So who would you say is weak and strong against who? Psychics seem like that have a advantage over implants, while nanos have an advantage over psychics, seem like then are weak against behemoths/wraiths. Then again, I am just talking out of my ass here.
>>48109636
Nope. In Kingdom Diplomacy I played as a bored nobleman of Myst who schemed to destroy the nation just for fun. In Kingdom Crusher I want to live a casual, silly royal life with the comforting knowledge that I'm hiding enough power to wreck a world let alone my political enemies.

Hero, Abaddon shard
>Powers: Shard Administration (20), Power hub (3), Power sight (1)
>perks: Manton bypass
>flaws: S9 recruit, Endbringer target, Kidnapping, Trouble magnet
Gift: The diary
There, with Manton bypass I can use shard administration on myself, I will change power hub to actually create a permanent perfect copy of any power that enters my 100 meters range, even if I can only keep one power at once, if I can copy Eidolon victory will be mine, since my Abaddon shard will boost my power beyond anything the real Eidolon could do.
And I can just remove contessa PtV limitations for a free win.
Eidolon was actually kicking Scion ass before he used verbal kung fu to win.
I can also pick worthless opponent+bringing an end+copy cat+ god slayer+Abaddon shard to take control over the simurgh, I will not have any power aside from her massive telekinesis, but should still be fun.
You get 10 free points at once and you can get 20 more points with only S9 recruit, endbringer target, and wanted: merchants, ABB, E88, and all those factions aside from S9 will be destroyed in one month of the canon timeline thanks to Coil shenanigans, I really dont see why everyone is bitching about the lack of points.

A nano with Uplink could in theory turn an implanted in their armor into someone buried alive. Unable to move or remove their armor they'd eventually just starve to death and that's only if someone doesn't just kill them immediately. A Wraith with Commando and Demolisher who takes Glaive Launcher could probably one shot anyone with a well placed shot from stealth.
