I was thinking of making a Villain build who uses the Hyperkinesis to constantly rearrange things around him. He does this according to a pattern by which a person with OCD might rearrange things, but he somehow frames it in terms of moral philosophy.
Inspired by the story Northern Caves https://archiveofourown.org/works/3659997?view_full_work=true

>The task is never done. No one else can shoulder it for us. The task cannot be theorized into parts such as desire or satisfaction. Instead it presents itself in a complete bolus of absolute responsibility. Each moment we have the choice: perform the duty, or evade the duty. Society as it has existed for millennia is a set of structures mainly aimed at rationalizing the second of these choices. Mundum says: DO. And we may either do or not do. And all the theories, all the structures, all the kings and all the ballot booths, are ways of saying, "but perhaps we can choose not to do." No.

>What does one receive in return for obeying Mundum? The other, obverse face of Mundum. I have called this thing "Mundum" bc it is the world, the real world, when one strips away the defenses one has become accustomed to employing. And one face of the real world consists not of matter but of responsibility. The other face consists -- not quite of matter -- but of the RESULTS of responsibility well executed

It was a fun concept. And so I got distracted rereading Northern Caves. But then I felt it wouldn't work well with the PCX build, it's difficult to express what made it fun in the story.

So far I've made it a habit to eventually experience the versions of characters I use in my CYOAs in their original setting/media, at least in some form - sometimes as an anime adaption, or sometimes from the original media (video game, manga, whatever) if no adaption is available. Like I owe it to them to learn more about the face I'm borrowing, or something...?

But SO MANY of the companion pictures I'm using now are from less popular gachas with no adaptations, or long-form media, or both...picking out new companion images brings so much pain now, because every time I see a new niche gacha series, I know I'm burdening my future self months~years down the line with probably 100+ hours of mind numbing gameplay to satisfy some kind of masochistic completionist curiosity

You really shouldn't do that
The intent of the artist is not neccacarily the meaning of the picture, and the meaning of the picture is what matters

Remember that if you put it off long enough skg will make all shutdown gacha create a singleplayer, where you could simply mod directly to the desired character
(And emulation will probably do that illegally eventually. It would have happened sooner if it weren't for the lack of white individuals playing gacha)

>>97597616
>skg will make all shutdown gacha create a singleplayer

Such boundless optimism. The more likely outcome for the less-popular gachas is simply becoming lost media forever

Anyways, I do keep a divide in my head between the characters in my CYOA and the characters from whatever media their images came from. But the curiosity eventually beckons me.

>>97597649
The masses seem to be getting angrier, and any of the smarter politicians will be eager to placate them with bread and circuses
Surely there will be atleast one of them willing to mandate that people can play video games not in support

Word of God (i.e. author) is that it takes about a thousand years to get the first spell in an element (via independent study), as opposed to buying it here.

"Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!" :)

Cheap corporate slogans aside, companions can be invaluable. They can shore up (your) weakpoints, may have access to powers (you) don't . . .and they allow (you) to work on multiple problems simultaneously.

Think about it. Just how many events and plot arcs would have turned out differently, if Naruto had proper backup?

>>97598738
Based this is the correct take. The worst thing you can do in a cyoa is trade power for companions who aren't compelled to serve you in some way. Imagine getting a wizard companion only for him to leave the next day because he received a research proposal from some university. Cucked yourself put of points you could've used for fire magic you love to see it.

I don't know how practical a MtG build can be, without at least a little White or Black. At the very least, they aren't very dynamic.

White, after all, is the color of caring about good of the Many, even to the point of self-sacrifice. Meanwhile, Black is all about prioritizing Self, even if it means sacrificing other people (sometimes literally).

Someone with no White or Black aspect is going to struggle with dealing with society, as they have no guiding metric on what to prioritize in their interpersonal relationships. Without a White streak, they don't act for the good of the group. With a Black one, they don't exploit said group.

I've got a close relative who is classic Blue-Red, for example. Just a brilliant guy who can make the most damaged machinery sing in his hands.

But put him in a group? He just . . .sits there. And he will let problems get totally out of control, because he has no frame of reference to guide his social interactions. At least not until he gets angry, or someone starts buttering him up (and his Red side starts giving him feedback based on his emotions).

Sigh - There are small kids in the family right now, and at least once per family get-together, I want to kick his ass for being so passive. Because it will be obvious that they're about to get into trouble, and he won't be able to act to head it off. At least not until it gets so out of hand that the situation scares or angers him.

(Very, very frustrating situation, as all the Black and White aspected relatives have to constantly cover for him.)

I don’t know what’s sadder, the fact that this fag got bodied by a random archangel and KNELT to Yawgmoth or the fact that the Jastice League underperformed so hard that due to a combination of Bolas consistently screwing up, other potential rivals like Serra dying for stupid reasons like “muh heartbreak”, and the Jacetice League being entangled in events that eventually result in THE MULTIVERSE ITSELF REJECTING PLANESWALKERS, NERFING EXISTING SPARKS AND ENSURING NO NEW ONES WILL BE MADE.

>So I've watched this interesting vid about the best immortality options in Naruto and came to the conclusion that...

>>97599165
But surely you are conflating a given immortality option with powers surrounding and associated with said option

>>97598989
Reds lead other reds as warlords and conquerors.
Reds do not belong in faggoty societies ruled by blacks and whites.

>>97599247
I've never watched Naruto in my life. That's exactly why I hate seek external information to know the setting better.
>>97599255
I'm not sure I understand what you mean anon. Can you elaborate?

>>97599306
I think his point is that the Rinnegan has virtually limitless powers, so taking it to become immortal is kind of missing the forest for the trees. Or maybe like taking a private jet to the grocery store.

>>97599311
Oh yeah, I was already contemplating taking the Rinningan, the immortality plus just sealed the deal for me. Its the most cost effective option in the entire cyoa hands down.

>>97599165
from what I know the rinnegan by itself doesn't automatically give you immortality, at most you could make it with the custom abilities but with that argument then you can also get it with the sharingan's, legendary artifact's and celestial heart's custom abilities.

the best non-custom immortality option is the enhanced body perk which also improves your body in every way, makes you immune to natural diseases and gives you 10 points

with the second place being soul transfiguration which can be a bit expensive costing 33 points but having all elemental affinities and the ability to manipulate souls justifies it.

>>97599321
>Its the most cost effective option in the entire cyoa hands down.
don't get me wrong, the rinnegan is a very strong option but I don't like how it ends up consuming all of your points so one's build ends up revolving around just the rinnegan.

>>97599336
>from what I know the rinnegan by itself doesn't automatically give you immortality
Sasuke explains that it does when detailing his world domination plan.
>build ends up revolving around just the rinnegan
It is the single strongest ability in the entire series, so that's not really much of a deal-breaker.

Could Perfect Integration let you copy Kekkai Genkai that were already transplanted from someone else? Like Kakashi's sharingan.

>>97599388
yeah should work at least ripping out the eye and stealing it for yourself should work, don't know about the blood though, maybe?

I'm not allsyncanon... Just an anon who values image quality.

>>97600150
>implying its the author himself

Is there a reason why you guys post the cyoas over multiple posts instead of just the first page with the rest in catbox links?
Just seems like you get to the image limit very fast the way you guys are doing it

>>97599706
Why does Favored Path cost 20??? I could get 5 levels instead for less cost and massively more gain.

>>97600182
No matter how we cut it, there will be less engagement with that tactic.

>>97600182
That's not a practical consideration. Very few cyoag threads reach image limit, perhaps 1 in 100, and if it happens it's because someone is being silly rather than by accident.

>>97600150
I'd prefer he stopped but not much I can do about it.

>>97600193
The nature of the levelup option makes it more mechanically powerful than almost anything else. The tradeoff being the fact that you're spending a lot on something that's fairly achievable in-setting.

If you take levelup without development abilities you're impacting your overall potential even harder, and the cost goes to 20+ when you do take them.

holy shit, first an unexpected naruto update, now an unexpected danmachi update, all that's left is another dawn of a demon lord update.

>PATH: adventurer {+50}
the most fun path

>RACE: elf
a bit surprised how the race section didn't change considering amazonians, dwarves and hobbits (especially hobbits) are the worst races, meanwhile human have a boost to willpower which can't be gained anywhere else, demihumans have a chance of going into a super furry form, and elves have a super long lifespan.

>SCENARIO: early start (28 BC), multiplayer
poop with friends :)

>TRAINING: combat T2 -> T3 {-8}
had to give up scheming which was a harsh blow but I think the new skills are worth it.

>EQUIPMENT: none
just the free basic gear is good enough for now

>STATS: all {-5}
with how painfully slow getting the big numbers is, I should take the cheap but effective boosts

>LEVEL: 1
I have no problem starting from the bottom if it helps me improve my endgame potential

>SKILLS: duelist {-1}, affinity (fire) {-2}, shockwave {-2}, super {-3}, brave {-4}, regeneration {-8}, metamagic {-8}

>MAGIC: raise (fire) {-2}, restore {-3}, spirit fire {-4}
going for a spellblade kind of build:
shockwave gives me a bit more range
raise+super is a strong combo to boost my stats
restore because healers are very valuable
spirit fire is good for the "nuke it out of this world" type of monsters
and metamagic is here in case I can't cast the full spirit fire and will more often than not make do with a weaker but faster version of it

>FAMILIA: canon god (loki)
bringing my combat T2 to T3

>COMPANIONS: none
if even bete can have friends then I think I can make my own friends too.

apart from the already mention race imbalance, I don't understand why favored path cost 20 FUCKING POINTS when it cuts 4 of your stats in half, I get this is supposed to be the min maxing skill but it sounds more like a dangerous exchange rather than a top tier skill.

>>97599706
The power system of this world is basically shooting yourself in the head and advancing if you don't die. Utter madness. This world needs a better power system, and I will create it.

This endeavor will need many people to help test out theories, provide data, find materials, etc. The beginning will be difficult, but the potential of a new path, one that isn't suicidal, ought to receive everyone's support. I predict that initial success with be achieved within a century.

I chose alchemy as the main field in which the power system will be based on because:
1. Accessibility: it typically doesn't require gods, spirits, and other conditions that can only be fulfilled by a tiny amount of people.
2. Versatility: practically anything is possible with the right methods and materials.
3. Replicability: anyone can learn alchemy, and materials can be refound or recreated.

The power system will be based on paths, like fire mage, dragon warrior, shadow assassin, and so on. Each will have a gradual progression of gaining synergistic powers and enhancing relevant aspects, but also a set of alchemy recipes, training regimes, and possibly other requirements. Some will be compatible with each other, some won't. All should be compatible with falna because falna is technically just a buff from being connected to a god that can be removed or added at any time to anything. On the topic of falna, to not be dependent on gods is another reason for creating the power system.

As soon as I can, I will spread a number of the first few levels of the easiest and highest compatibility paths for free! Everyone will have the opportunity to embark on the path of power! Those with ambition will come to Orario for greater methods and necessary materials. The overall power of the world will greatly increase, and there will be many more adventurers in the battle against the dungeon.

This is actually an updated V.1 build that I've changed quite significantly. Going from a stealthy 'jack-of-all-trades' spellblade type to a more straight up fighter.

I like my companions. I can see a friendly rivalry developing with Veris. Frida trying to keep us out of trouble as the team Mom and Dora often getting us in to it as the fun Wine-Aunt.

As for what do? Probably keep my head down a bit. Brew some beer and try not to be too much of a fuck up. Maybe I can make Soma smile. Actually, fuck it. Going to make it my job to clean up the Soma Familia. Will start by clearing out those just here to exploit the downtroden. Try to attract some artisan brewers or merchants to bring in some more wealth.

Probably try to shack up with an elven or hobbit femboi or an Amazonian or Dwarven Muscle-Mommy.

>>97600494
>elves do not have the three spell limit. They can learn as many spells as they can afford spellbooks for.
pretty sure that is not true, the only two elves that have more than three spells are because they have a very specific skill/spell that allows them to copy or modify spells into another.

elves are strong because they have an affinity for magic (which we already know is op at higher levels), have a higher chance of gaining magic spells, an insanely long lifespan and that's before taking falna and stats into account.

meanwhile hobbits are small and frail with the high level hobbit being a rare exception rather than a rule.

>>97600528
Oh, no, you're right. I'm blowing smoke out of my ass.

>>97600526
Ah, I'll correct it if I update the build again.

>>97600536
You WILL update the build again.

>>97600526
What's the difference between the letters anyway? Concretely speaking.

>>97599706
I'm happy to see you're still around 5anon. Harbinger was a big inspiration for me, in multiple ways.

>>97600590
According to the Wiki, it's a stat ranking. D is in the 500 range (out of 1000), though it also provides an example of an ability that peaks in effectiveness early on at G (200).

>>97600590
It translates to increased effects of development abilities. Reflect deals more damage, Stealth gives better concealment, stuff like that. There's no hard references for development ability scaling in canon unfortunately.

>>97600702
That anon was unfortunately right. cyoag is shonenfag territory at the moment.

>>97600494
Half right. Elves can learn magic that isn't dependent on falna, so yes, they can learn as much magic as they want, but they are typically still limited to 3 falna spells.

Miss Justice is the one calling for my heart.

I wanted to grab three magics, but I can always try and find two good ones later on. Instead, I'm going to grab rainbow magic and buff myself to eternity. I'll shoot sick rainbow sword beams, rolling around at the speed of sound. I got places to go.
>Canon God (Loki)
>>Combat
I don't want to mess around with random chance, and as far as I know, she's supposed to be a pretty reliable boss. She also has some really high level employees, including some powerful elf mages I can crib notes/support from. I'll take combat as my bonus training, which seems like it would be mandatory for dungeon diving.

But now I have four points left. Do I grab Torrent to ensure I have good magic options, or do I grab skills that I cannot replace later? If I said Exalt was a rainbow magic, then Affinity (Light) would be really strong, I think. Yeah, and Intense Heat would compound pretty hard too with my buff based build. I'll add those two.

You can always go for Perfect Integration and just obtain it by stealing from Nagato. Or, if you want your own, by mixing chakra of reincarnations of Indra and Asura.

That's a good idea actually. If I copied Hashirama's Wood Style and a Sharingan would that be enough?

Sharingan technically too. It still obviously works.

>>97601097
Not any Sharingan, no. You need chakra from Sasuke or Madara (true) specifically.

Hi, does anyone have a version with better resolution of this CYOA?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1frriYjewF2IAosdvZmX8ZieMBC4MSY_h/view?usp=sharing

>>97601109
Ok, seems doable. Probably go for young sasuke first, then steal some Hashirama cells when I feel up for it.

>>97601046
Actually, Spirit says your mana regen gets faster the lower your mana pool is, so it might combo really well with Pressurized. Then I could get Torrent and Nova outright without having to risk the trouble of finding a good spell and still have six points to spare. The only problem is that would have to wait until I level up and actually gain Spirit, but I feel like the spells we can get in this are really top notch.

Okay, third idea. Taking development abilities isn't that good when I'm not buying levels. If I drop them, Affinity, and Intense Heat, I can buy Pressurized, and then I'm one point shy on three tier three magics. But if I've already got Metamagic and Torrent, maybe dropping Nova down to Restore is fine. How rare is healing magic in this setting? Cure disease could be either dirt cheap or really good.

so far you just made at best a very strong support to buff allies (which is pretty good), at worst an normal adventurer but worse because you need a long chant time to actually get your stats to a above average level
you are also wildly underestimating how hard it is to get spells even for elves.

if you go for a mage build you want to max out your spells slots because not only is getting new ones extremely hard, getting new ones after you already have spells gets even harder, for example one of the best mages in canon can't seem to fill their third spell slot even after buying multiple grimoires.

imo with those extra points at least buy a single attack spell to defend yourself and consider getting a third spell for whatever role you want to take in the dungeon.

>>97601552
I already swapped some things out, but I did have to rethink Exalt for a little. Ultimately, I think Torrent is the most important spell on the list (insane versatility), but with an actual attack spell, Restore might be better than Nova since it can clear other things, and then I might as well stick with Exalt over Raise in case I have some party members to cast it on. Raise would be easier to cast on myself, though.

When you think about it, White Towers have one of the hardest starts in the In Modern Day origin. Their sequence 9-8 has no combat abilities or physical enhancements, and their sequence 7 only gains mastery of combat in comparison to ordinary people. Their sequence 6 is especially dangerous since, if they want to digest their potion and actually use Imitation for anything, they have to go around looking for magical things to Analyze and study. Being a field researcher in magical apocalypse Earth is the seq 6 equivalent of being a Mysticologist, you HAVE to constantly risk your life for knowledge. There's no church with convenient vaults of artifacts and libraries of preexisting knowledge for Analysis, you've gotta be the trailblazer. How are you even going to get the opportunity to Analyze and imitate useful combat abilities when you yourself have little combat power and no stealth ability? Ask your friends for help?
