>Experiment 1: Talent Discount
Making a builds where your talent rating in one aura type provides a discount. This is to make basic techniques cheap, master techniques slightly less ecpensive, and leave legend techniques largely the same.
Compare your "G" rating to the rating required for a technique, if you G rating is higher it subtracts it's value from the point cost.
Example:
Seismic Strike costs 6 points to buy.
Your build has G3 in Core.
Seismic Strike only requires G1.
Seismic Strike now only costs 3 points for you.
>Experiment 2: Aura Burst Mode
Kufoku mentions you'll be able to Double your points after completing an Aura Burst campaign, so why not make builds for that?
Make a standard build for your freshly summoned conscript, then making Another build for your conscript after completing all their campaign missions.

The second build gets build and equipment points equal to their starting "Potential"(45 for talented, 35 for mutated, etc). They get no bonus alterations.

Given how the "Prodigy" alteration works,, double these bonus points points for your second build, but equipment points are not doubled
>Experiment #3
The Aura costs of techniques is reduced by taking Training. Each training reduces a specific category of techniqued by 1 star at initiate, 2 stars at master, and 3 stars at legend.

The category of Techniques a Training effects are specific.
Skill Training can reduce aura cost for a techniques below 1, but doesn't make a technique free. Techniques with on aura cost below 1 have a cost from 0.75 to 0.25 of one star

Or perhaps teal would be better? Idk

>Powers
-Tangibility (tier 2 adept)(2)
-Audibility (tier 2 adept)(2)
-Visibility (tier 2 adept)(2)
-Anchoring (tier 3 master)(3)
-Technokinesis (tier 3 master)(3)

>Signature powers

>Banes
-Immune: Sunlight
I like the sun in moderation. I enjoy night time too since it tends to be more quiet and cooler. As a ghost, i do not wish to be deprived of sunlight.

-Weakness: water
Just as technology is averse to water. It must have strong resistance against water lest it get fried due to electrical shorting.

I like modern technology, computers, cellphones. I can still enjoy nature, go outside, and enjoy grass, but i am mostly on my computer browsing the internet, listening to music, playing video games. I shall be an inventor ghost and make new tech. My main weapons would be hacking androids/ robots/ security systems, and high tech weaponry. The greatest magic of all is a gun, and if that don't work... use more gun. I shall be the famous internet shitposting ghost of the nether realms, OHOHOHOHOH!. I shall make art and make money.

>anchor
Human(anchor 3)

>favors
-save lives
-help the police
-Reveal thyself???
Not sure with the last one but mayhaps i can share my inventions?


Anyway. I could not find a better ghost girl picture with computers

It's a black cat. I really would have wanted to also get Unknowable 4, but didn't see a way to get two archetypes...

Just "real" enough to seem like a creepy cat (and knock your expensive vase crashing onto floor).

>Willwell 1, Soulwarping 1, Dreambreaking 3
Stretch and bend body beyond normal. Spoopy reality warping action is the main attraction however, even if it doesn't last long.

>Signature Power: Anchorless

The gatto goes wherever he wants to.

Cats don't like water, obviously. The True Name? Sorry, you don't have the pass that allows you to say it.

>>
>>98875992 (me)
forgot to post a bit of explanation (even if it's pretty clear), I like blessing people and being a support, I got vitality for restoration of life, willwell to fuel it, anchoring to get the shrine, which will give me more blessings (even if I would have liked something more mobile), technokinesis to empower technology (also it gives me a way to contact people) and farseeing to visit other planes. Originally wanted to be innocent, but soulfire gives me a willwell point, which I needed.
>>
>>98874972
> Body:
>Innocent 3
Andro shota, but I’m not aiming to be seen anyways so doesn’t matter too much.
> Ectoplasm:
>Cyan
Glow brightness responds to Awaken Object potential: no glow for completely inert, up to full flashlight for those that would awaken with anthro forms/supernatural powers.
> Powers:
>Willwell 3
So I can nurture the objects and artifacts under my care 24/7, especially with clones.
>Anchoring 3
Just so I can inhabit the Ancient Ruins.
>Flight 1
For basic mobility, as well as moving objects around as I Embody them.
>Embodiment 3
So I can embrace every possible thing in the Ruins.
>Splitsoul 2
Since it doesn’t specify an upper limit of fragments and Willwell 3 says I can use any ability as much as I want, this means unlimited clones to not just fill every building and ruin, but give every object and artifact their own personal caretaker!
> Signature Power:
>Awaken Object
It will take a very long time, and I may have to awaken lesser objects to try and dissuade adventurers from taking too much, but eventually I will repopulate the Ancient city with items from the Ruins itself, creating an entire society of sapient, supernatural creatures with me as their sacred parent!
>>
>>98876034
> Banes:
>Barriers (Weakness)
As the entire city is my Anchor, no one can force me to abandon my children. Additionally, the ejection power is actually an upside, meaning if things get too hot for an adventuring party within one of the ruins, they have an option to instantly escape.
>Holiness (Immune)
Convenience more than anything, since most adventurers will likely have holy objects on them as a coverall precaution.
>Discovery (Immune)
I refuse to be removed from my home, or pulled from my children.
>Otherwill (Immune to Exorcists)
I doubt many exorcists will bother to come to the Ruins, but if they do, this is a nice precaution.
> Anchor:
>Arcane Ruins
Due to once being a bustling, magical city, there has to be at least a few objects and artifacts well loved enough to awaken as supernatural beings from the get go - at least as long as Awakening potential doesn’t wane over significant time.
> Favors:
>Movie Night
In the early days, any companionship will be a godssend, and my Ruins can feed her as well. Also, in the rare case that a group of adventurers is very mean and rude I can use her more murdery tendencies to help the monsters drive them off.
>Adopt Pets
I’ll take ‘em all! The Ruins have plenty of room and I can create clones to take care of them, and perhaps with them being magical, more intelligent familiars, they can help cultivate my children...
>To the Temple
Fairly basic task, why the hell not, it’ll be cool seeing other Realms.
>>
>>98875251
You can pick any sort of body type you want. The only one that is strongly gender coded is Enticing. Most images or other options are female characters, but that's just a matter of image availability.

>>98875434
Since you opted for Anchorless, you don't really need pick an Anchor. I see you've got all the means to just live a mostly normal life. Though as far as inventing goes, if you weren't dead-set on Anchorless, the Studio Factory Special Anchor would help, and free up for Signature Power to boost black ectoplasm that lets you conjure copies of digital devices. But understandable that Anchorless is important for a cozy life. Yeah, sharing good inventions is a great way to get good ghost PR for Reveal Thyself. I can see that going well. It's a good build.

>>98875666
Most of the CYOA was made while sleep deprived and juggling life responsibilities, but I did my best to at least get something made.

>>98875781
I'm glad you like the CYOA! Since you went for Potent Fadeplasm, I imagine you'll get a lot a company with out-of-body people floating around. And since you have Tangibility 3, you can make those ghosts temporarily solid again, albeit without their flesh bodies. That's a neat synergy I hadn't thought of when making it.

>>98875908
>two archetypes
Yeah, that's at the top of my list for an updated version. That and maybe a couple more power tiers.
Water weakness is very fitting for a cat, as is completely ignoring you when you call their name. I like it.
>>
>>98875992
I plan on increasing the number of powers chosen slightly, so whenever I post the next version, you should be able to pick Innocent. I should also mention that short forays into other places of existence give you a temporary reprieve from needing to be at your Anchor. I'll add that to the extras on the last page. Having Sadako hang around with Technokinesis 3 is a good synergy, and the ghost pets would be a cute addition to the shrine.

>>98876034
That's a clever use of cyan ectoplasm. And using the Ancient Ruins to find storied objects is also a great idea. Splitsoul 2 with Willwell 3 isn't technically 'unlimited' clones, just enough that most use-cases won't be hindered. I mostly just specify this in case anyone wants to send clones out to occupy the entire world - your use case within what it lets you do, though. I like your plan to repopulate the ancient city with the objects left behind, though. That sounds really fun. And having Sadako to help with early defense is a good idea, too.
>>
>>98876064
>I plan on increasing the number of powers chosen slightly, so whenever I post the next version, you should be able to pick Innocent
Good to know, even if I might end up postponing it in favor of something else (like dreambreaking) useful for helping out people (or maybe tangibility to even remotely exist, but who knows, originally tangibility was pretty high-priority in my build).
>I should also mention that short forays into other places of existence give you a temporary reprieve from needing to be at your Anchor.
I vaguely guessed it, but happy to see it confirmed.
>Having Sadako hang around with Technokinesis 3 is a good synergy, and the ghost pets would be a cute addition to the shrine
Yeah, I decided to get a few people to keep company, even if I considered reveal thyself too (ended with avoiding that because I'm shy).
I really considered anchor like demon queen castle (seemed comfy maybe sometime I will meet her, if she wants some blessing or gift, but won't be the same thing), the newbie exorcist (economic, mobile and would be good helping her out) or the twin katana (again mobile and seemed funny).
Also noticed I forgot to put banes, if I update my build will correct that

>Awaken Object, Water Weakness, Holiness Immunity, Object Anchor 0
>Reform Angels, It Ain't Me, Fight the Void
I'm a large right now, one day I'll be factory floor of dancing machinery manned by gremlin-like animated objects. My ectoplasm is reversible universal glue, eventually I'll learn how to make it act as a lubricant as well, my essence running through all my Embodied machines as something more than blood, lymph and cerebrospinal fluid.

Artefa/k/ts are as much fun to make as art. I don't care overmuch for furthering the state's monopoly on force but they have all the fun toys. I'll not be killing so much as equipping killers (while shamelessly pirating the milspec equipment In allowed to inhabit). The Angels and the Void are another matter. Many of my Awakened extensions / minions / children will be enchanted magitech Marvel's capable of opposing these worthy foes. By soul splitting I will become Legion and our chorus will be the sound of industry. Vid related:

https://youtu.be/wEP66wE8RkU?is=raGYhAABAoRs8L9w

Some drawbacks like a compulsion to haunt or pursue repetitive obsessions might be nice but then I'm a shameless minmaxxer who can't help but want to eke out further advantage.
>>
>>98876116
For the best Mimic Experience, you'll want Visibility, Audibility, and Tangibility 2. Having those at 3 is for going beyond human norms. Though Visibility 3 would be weird as Mimic, exuding an aura of... matching a person. I suppose it would make things around you appear more normal or match their interests. You can resist the Mimic 4 desire easily enough at first, but if you're the same person for a long time, the desire to replace them will grow, so just make sure you swap mimic targets frequently to give the ones you copy too much a break from forming an addiction.

>>98876135
I'm glad you like it!
Neat, a power-building build for fighting the tough threats. Picking It Ain't Me for access to military tech is a good idea. The Studio Factory special anchor would be perfect for you, but you'd need a couple levels in Anchoring. When I raise the power tiers in thee next upgrade, you could probably squeeze it into your build.
>>
>>98874972
For now I read only the first page and I have a problem with the Archetypes. For some I like how they make you look but i don't like the powers, for others is the opposite, I like the powers they give but hate how they look. There is no "good" option for me, unless the powers can be turned off, there is only the least bad.
>>
>>98876145
True, I probably could have traded a level of Willwell for anchor 1 to get that but ah well. As you say with any drawbacks to spare points I'd certainly have sprung for it! (in terms of that if your taking suggestions things like recall / trauma trigger of your death and constant, involuntary micro-posession would also be interesting modifiers)

I'll probably post "eternal overlooked janitor" and the Accursed Sea builds at some point but better to spread out the cyoa's engagement over a few threads rather than waterboard it with interest all at once imo.

>>98876094 (me)
realized that soulfire only increases my will when I'm emotional, and I won't go enticing 3, the odds of me changing back increase.
Does violet ectoplasm works without higher tiers in font?
>>
>>98876159
That was by design - I wanted power to come at the cost of physical form and vice versa. Do you think I leaned too hard into that dynamic then?

>>98876161
Since ghosts have required Banes, I'm hesitant to add a proper drawback section. So many options in the CYOA already have negative consequence. Mostly I was just thinking of rebalancing the number of power tiers by increasing it by 1 or 2. Those both seem like neat builds to read. I look forward to them!

>>98876176
Do you think a power option that allows you to lure people to your Anchor would help?
>>
>>98876188
With those things I have very powerful and very accurate attacks, stone titan ascent would give me defence, shadow spirit sutra would be fun and with machine trascendence manual I could add more guns to my body
>>
>>98876057
I am this >>98875434
I never thought about the factory thingy. If i were to be tethered to the factory then i cannot leave to share my inventions or live a semi-normal life. Being stuck in a place for too long was one of the reasons for my mental breakdown.
Whenever i make a build, i tend to read selectively and not read all the options. I just tend to think of a theme for a build and make a sort of archetype as i read the cyoa. If i already have a plan for a build then i just tend to skim the rest or look at the pictures, some or most options i skip to save time

I made a build for this >>98875290 in the past and i have not even read all the options even to this day. That must be the reason why i missed the factory option but hey i am anchorless so that means i can visit the factory yes?

Will there also be a sort of power that allows you to not pick a weakness in the banes section? I think that could be cool. Perhaps it could be a special power

Anyway, thank you for oc. If i wasn't the man i was, i would kiss you.

>>98876202
Violet ectoplasm does work without Ectoplasm Font, but you're limited in how much you can produce, which in turn limits the *size* of objects you can coat, as well as how often you can coat an object. You can slowly chip away at territory regardless, but a complete object like a care will require a larger singular dose of violet ectoplasm. However, at Tier 0 of Ectoplasm Font, you need to 'bleed' to produce any, so it'll leave you a little weak.

>>98876209
Yeah, I can definitely see about a Signature Power that absolves you of having a Weakness. That seems perfectly balanced.

>>98876210
I'm thinking of boosting the max power tiers by 2.
>>
>>98876203
>Do you think I leaned too hard into that dynamic then?
Yes, very much so. If you wanted to do that you should have at least left a safe middle ground, a neutral form that is nothing special and gives no power. I can see that you tried to make the level 1 stuff less powerful, but most of it is way too exagerated even at level 1. You need either a safe alterative with no gain, or some way to pay a resource later to detach form from powers.
>>
>>98876226
bruh how is tier 1 innocent or tier 1 feral "too exaggerated"
>>
>>98876203
>Do you think a power option that allows you to lure people to your Anchor would help?
I'm not sure more powers will help... I have to take anchoring 1 for the hospital, soulwarping 3 and ectoplasm font 3 for the colossus, and also at least willwell 1 because soulwarping requires will. And since I'm so big and visible, won't I need at least a little vitality or else I'll easily get exorcised? So that's already at least 8 points used up and I only have 4 left to actually be able to do something with...
>>
>>98876226
tier 1 innocent is just having a friendly human appearence, how is it exagerated?
Nta.
>>
>>98874972
I don't get the difference between Feral 2 and 3. You go from just ears and tail to straight up furry and then just stay the same? Is tier 2 supposed to be monster girl territory and tier 3 full furry? Because otherwise I see no difference between the 2.

>>98876230

>>
>>98876230

For Innocent an Feral it's the appearance that's the problem, not the power. Innocent locks you into being "friendly" not normal. And Feral has the animal traits.
>>
>>98876270
I guess you can technically be very subtle with feral. Like only having the eyes of something.

Monster girls would still fall under Tier 1 (it's a fairly broad tier). Tier 2 is more like what you expect from a furry. Tier 3 is veering heavily on animalistic. The example I use is a werewolf. A werewolf isn't just a furry - it's a hulking, hunched over monster. The limbs don't bend like a human's and it would sooner be classified as 'cryptid' than 'humanoid'.

>>98876270
If you don't want to appear friendly, what is more the aesthetic you're going for? Like the serial killer archetype? A shrewd businessman? All friendly implies is a lack of scary features and lack of sour expression, so I assume you want some manner of scary but human-like features. Can you elaborate?

Furries are the same, or can be at least. Very animal legs and postures all fall under furry. When you use the werewolf as an example that's the most common furry shape. It also feel like a way too big a gap between tier 1 and 2 and too small a gap between 2 and 3. Tier 2 and 3 are functionally the same. Having monster girls at tier 2 would make the whole thing feel properly gradual, but as it stands that things only has 3 tiers instead of 4.
>>
>>98876313
>what is more the aesthetic you're going for?
Nta but I wanted to go for the classic chains and fire, while being mostly human, which would fall under Soulfire 1, but the power is awful for what I want. I don't want people to remember me.
Wait, do you also gain the form of lower tiers or just the powers? Because that changes things for a couple of them. Like Horrific, if you take tier 2, being dismebered, do you also still look wounded like tier 1 or can you look completely normal but with parts floating around? Like do your hands need to look all scratched up and dessicated or can they just be normal but floating?

Build:
Body:
Soulfire 2
>I mentally most align with unknowable, but this was my second choice and it gives better powers
>Fairly large and muscular, but a little bit elegant. The flaming clothes sound nice

Ectoplasm: Transparent
>Making other people into ghosts that can help me sounds like one of the best powers

Powers:
Vitality 2
Willwell 3 (+1)
>I don't need to sleep, so it feels like this just linearly scales how many things I can do
Anchoring 2
>Needed for thing
Splitsoul 3
>HOT GHOST BREEDING
>GHOST INCEST
Embodiment 1
>It's the cheapest way to interact with the physical world, and points are pretty limited
>I'll get my worshippers to build me a cool body
Ectoplasm font 1
>To allow my worshippers to commune with me directly when they need to, I'll make them ghosts

Special power:
Restoration of life
>I wouldn't want to disappoint all my worshippers without it
>The real question is how I can benefit things other then farming

Bane: Water
>I am a flame. It seems most thematic
Immune: Sunlight, Holy, Discovery
>I don't want people to be able to call me. I'm busy

Anchor:
Vacant shrine
>Cute fox girls and Worship

Favors:
Movie Night
>I intend to have alot of ghosts around me, so why not add this one?
Adopt pets
>I would love to have a load of strange creatures around my shrine, although I'll be selective
>Mainly hunting dogs and anything cool
To the temple
>I love things that are really big. Spending 100 hours climbing steps sounds amusing
Reveal thyself
>I'm starting a religion, why not be open about it?

So the basic plan is to have my cool shrine slowly accumulate ghosts and spirits and to use my power to channel worship of me into energy those spirits can eat
Also, get an order of paladins dedicated to me. Very important

If I had more points I think I would start a global mystery cult unrelated to the shrine. it would be fun to have random occultists and anons giving me worship power
Fun cyoa

>>98874972
Comfy "blind" build:
Enticing 3 for the relatively "normal" look and extra willwell. Big dick is a side effect i guess.
Violet Ectoplasm which I will probably not use much but might be good to have in case of fae or other shenanigans.
Visibility 2, Audibility 2, Tangibility 2 for the quality of (un)life features.
Vitality 1 as a bit of a filler, but extra resilience in case of overeager exorcists is not a bad thing.
Willwell 1 is the free point from my body, even if I have nothing to really use it with.
Anchoring 3 gives me freedom.
Flight 1 is just fun and useful to have.
Technokinesis 1 just to not scramble my computer while playing vidya.
Anchorless gives me maximum freedom.
Weakness to Barriers seems the least fatal.
Immunity to Discovery just to get rid of the uncontrollable annoyance.
I will help in the Haunted House, which will give me a spooky tutorial so I can better get meals for myself.
I take in Sadako for Movie Night and gain an eternal playbuddy.
And of course I will go To the Temple to repay the favour of being "brought back".

Currently working on a Shrine + Police build and have some questions for it.
1. How far away can I get from the shrine with just the required Anchoring 2 when I want to accompany the cops?
2. Can I use Possession 2 to possess Kiki just for communication?
3. Combining the above: what happens when a person/object you possess/embody leaves anchor range?
4. Shrine specific again: would Embodiment on a "holy relic" or removable part of the shrine allow leaving the anchor area?
Note that for this combined build I only want to be able to leave the shrine area to better help the cops, ideally in city-wide investigations.

12 powers are absolutely too little when so many of them are just taxes. Either give some of the basic ones for free or raise the points by at least 50%. 18 feels less shit, and even that feels very restrictive.

Yes, you have the appearance of the lower tiers, unless the higher tier introduces an element that contradicts with it. For example, you can be both dismembered and injured, so you'd be both. However, dismemberment is a type of injury, so if you just want to appear dismembered, that would be fine.

>>98876365
I tweaked the physical descriptions of these a bit in the next version. Hopefully it will be more to your liking. Now it separates them as 'kemonomimi > monster girl or furry > cryptid monster > ghost animal. I'll be posting it later after I've had time to prepare the other changes.

>>98876533
I like the dynamic of using transparent ectoplasm to bring humans to a ghostly state where they can see you rather than going for Visibility or such. I like that you plan on helping the other local spirits sustain themselves on your excess worship power. Restoration of Life can also bless people with vigor, helping people naturally recover from sickness more easily, or help children be born more healthy and safely.

>>98876536
Anchoring 2 could get you to a smaller police station near you for questioning, but probably not to most on-the-scene areas. You could certainly help with interrogations, though. You can communicate with possession just fine since they're aware while possessed, so they'll hear you speak. If a possessed person or object is away from your anchor, it still counts as if you're far from it - they don't let you go any farther away. But as for ways to leave the shrine, my Shinto education is a little faded, but I think it's not uncommon for them to have vessels for the deity. You could probably get away from the area using something like that, but it'd take some buildup of your divine power each time - enough to help with police investigations in the nearby city for hours-long stints every few days, but not enough for a vacation around the world.

Like I said, I was trying to get it done before Halloween. I won't have much time in the coming days to have finished it otherwise, and I didn't want to post it in November. So it was either that or I wait until next Halloween. I understand that it isn't up to the standard I'd usually hold myself to, but I'm just trying to juggle doing a fun thing with life struggles that are hitting me hard right now, struggling with mortgage things.

>>98876734
I actually sought out cheap AI amalgamations for the Horrific archetype specifically. since that was the warped flesh horror vibe I was going for. I feel like this image is too close to T4 Eerie. Though if you have anything that fits that casual abandonment of human physiology vibe that low-end AI does but without the other low-end AI vibes, I'd happily replace the image there in the updated version later.

>>98876888
>vessels for the deity
That reminds me of kamioroshi, summoning a god to temporarily possess the priest/monk/miko, maybe that + Possession might help to "ignore" the anchor for short stints away from the shrine.
Expected the answers but good to have confirmation. Though I did not plan a vacation around the world, maybe that might be possible if I ever manage to make it a global religion and bend the rules to move anchors between shrines. Probably not though.

Additional questions: I assume that when you take someone along with Farseeing 3 you can fully interact with them regardless of Visibility/Audibility/Tangibility. But can you take them to "nowhere in particular", so not a specific other realm but just a little corner between worlds to talk/give headpats? Without going full pocket realm from Liminal Space.
Also is the Splitsoul range bound to the anchor or your main soul (which is definitely bound to the anchor)?

The main challenge I am facing is getting the right powers to do all the things the build is meant for. The actual god job for worship (without relying on Restoration of Life), interact with followers in a meaningful way(the "human package" is too expensive, so creative Possession or Farseeing shenanigans), have the ability to help investigating (Farseeing to ask victims, Soulsearching to look for suspects), AND being able to somewhat patrol "my city" for both extra worship from protection and to aid the police (Splitsoul? Awaken Object?).
Cramming that into 12 points is a fun challenge, especially since I am usually not one to be creative with power combos and the like.

>>98877189
Farseeing doesn't let you interact with the people you take with you - you will still at least need the manifestation powers like Tangibility for that. You can interact with other spirits if you lack Tangibility and the like, however. To get any sort of pocket dimension, you will need Liminal Space. Splitsoul are bound to your main soul, not your Anchor. Even if you have Anchorless, their max distance will be roughly a city-distance away from you. I'm glad you're enjoying the CYOA. I do plan on upping the points higher than 12 to help facilitate those baseline things like visibility and such better.

>>98877339
You will need at least 1 Audibility to use Unknowable 3 (or get clever with written text or such).

~ Administrative ghost ~
Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQrXrJoooWI


BODY -- [Mimic 4]
ECTOPLASM -- [Violet]

POWERS -- [Vitality 3], [Willwell 3], [Anchoring 3], [Possession 2+1], [Technokinesis 1]
SIGNATURE POWER -- [Anchorless]

ANCHOR -- None

BANE WEAKNESS -- [Water]
BANE IMMUNITY -- [Barriers]

FAVORS -- [Kill an Exorcist], [Ghostbusting], [It Ain't Me]

---

Concept:
I use [Possession 3] to possess important people (political and business leaders, facility administrators, etc).
[Mimic 4] gives me the memories of the possessed person so I can act the role (+ 1 extra power point).
[Willwell 3] allows me to possess the important people indefinitely.
I don't want my computer and other electronics to malfunction constantly, hence [Technokinesis 1].
[Anchorless] and [Anchoring 3] aren't really crucial, but having an Anchor seems like a way to get stuck. It must suck for exorcists to target an Anchorless ghost.
At some point exorcists are sure to figure me out. I'll kill the host, framing the exorcists, and escape safely with my [Vitality 3].

[Kill an Exorcist]: He's a terrorist now and the police hunts him down. No direct involvement from me past that.
[Ghostbusting]: With [Vitality 3] it should go fine.
[It Ain't Me]: I can coordinate with foreign militaries, sure.


Goal:
I use the authority of important possessed people to wipe out AI development in PRC to lower extinction risk from further development. If the US manages to arrange a pause after the competition is removed it's ok, if not I repeat the same in the US.
After that, maybe remove NK's and Pakistan's nukes.

Well, it's Halloween time, and I've made no shortage of CYOAs on witches and necromancers and such before. So ghosts it is.

>>98878077
You have a lot of strong options for bending reality and spreading your influence, but you do lack a bit in terms of perceptibly. Though I suppose you can always Dreambreak text onto a wall or such. But yeah, between Anchoring 3 Cognitohazard and Liminal Space, you've got every avenue to have places to chill, and with Dreambreaking to have fun there.

>>98878220
Going for Anchorless, Mimic, Willwell, and Possession is a good plan to just supplant anyone you want. And that *does* put you in a good position for enacting great worldly control.

>>98878227
It hadn't occurred to me how well ghost abilities lend to sexual deviancy... But those two are truly opposite extremes that you proposed. As for the mandatory quests, I tried to have a few trivial ones you could do, but honestly you could probably shrug off some responsibilities. I mostly put them in to offer direction and add some worldbuilding.

>>98878352
I like how you've got all the scary monster things for the newbie exorcist that will probably be terrified of you. That's fun. Lifelie is a good choice to get you time in a more human-like form despite your body archetype, too.

You can influence the stop frequency well enough with your bond to the train. As long as it makes the quotas, you're good. At the very least, it changes stop 2 or 3 times a night. And at the most frequent, it would at least need to stay stopped for 5 minute spans. And yes, it has electricity. It's like a modern passenger train but with the luxury and class of the heyday of rail travel.

>>98878860
Yes!
>>
>>98878960
Thank you so much for the answer I hope you don't mind if I bombard you with questions. I want to make the Ghost Train a place of knowledge where souls can sit and read and learn before they pass.

Are the objects spectral? If I don't have Tangibility can I not interact with it, eat the food, use the electricity? Can I turn books spectral?

Can I give the Ghost Train a soul with Awaken Object?

Can I invite Roman senators via Farsight?

Can I shapeshift when possessing an object?

I love the Ghost Train so much

Also if I can use my Ghost Powers while possessing does that mean I can shapeshift the person I'm possessing as well?
>>
>>98878979
Objects in the train are not spectral, but are enchanted such that ghosts and living alike can interact with them. This does not apply to foreign objects brought into the train. The train can offer you basic supplies, which can include books, but you might need to find source copies from elsewhere for it to replicate, as generating knowledge is beyond the scope of the train. You can't Awaken the ghost train since it is your Anchor. I should probably amend that to the extra info at the end that your Anchor can't be Awoken. Yes, Farsight will let you bring the dead aboard the train for a spell. You can shapeshift while possessing by a limited amount, based on Embodiment, not Soulwarping. To shapeshift a person you're possessing, you specifically need the Signature Power: Sculpted Possession. This can also give you far more control over how you shapeshift an object you're possessing.

I'm glad you the Ghost Train!

I love the build diversity you can get with this. No idea if this one would work too well, but I just find the idea hilarious.


Body: Ectoplasmic 4 (Manatee)
Ectoplasm: Violet
Powers:
Ectoplasm Font 3
Soulwarping 3
Anchoring 3
Willwell 1
Farseeing 3

Ectoplasm Colossus

Anchor:
Accursed Sea (Mediterranean Sea)

The whole point of this build is to lay claim to all the ships passing through the Mediterranean with my violet ectoplasm. With my spiritual claim on both many of the Worlds elite and a good fraction of global shipping, I go to the Fae/Demons with an absurd level of leverage and see what they are willing to offer. Ideally I can become a giant flying sky manatee bring cuddly calamity to the world.

Banes:
Sunlight (immune) - Obviously I don’t have much ability to hide in the ocean

Water (immune) - freebie

Salt (weakness) - The description says this only triggers if you have a compete circle of salt around me. How much salt would you even need to loop around the Mediterranean Sea?? And how would they cover the Strait of Gibraltar? No, get fucked exorcists.

Missions-
Sadly, this build doesn’t do missions well, but I think I can pick a few.

Adopt Pets - I think I can score some bird familiars if they hang out near the shore?

Movie Night- Sadako can help me steal a yacht where we can hang out before the end of my plan. They she can ascend with me when I unveil my full power.

Reveal Thyself - I can be a kind god so long as I am given my lettuce.

I'm glad you like it! Violet is a good ectoplasm choice for Accursed Sea. As for the Salt weakness, exorcism damage on you could, theoretically, reduce your size, and trap you in salt then. But taking down Accursed Sea is very difficult in the first place, so probably not worth worrying about.

>>98879473
I'm happy you like it! I see you're really going in on that travel capability, even going so far as Barrier immunity, and taking on the less rooting quests. But yeah, Salt weakness wouldn't affect you too much outside of exorcists going out of their way to entrap you.

New OC, but there's nothing to really talk about with the OC.
It's not an Autism OC, so the Autists are waiting for anons to have their fun for a bit until the OC goes stale.

>>98879724
Beri CYOAs take a long time in spoiling. Anons may lose interest but the works themselves tend to have a lot of replayability if you're not stuck on the aesthetic they present. Even if you are, there is a high number of possible combinations. The options are usually diverse within the theme. If I had to pick one failing it's that certain selections do seem essential, like Anchoring in this one
>>
>>98879761
Anon, are you right in the head? No one was talking about "replayability". Anons were talking about discussion. There's nothing to talk about with the OC, it's straight-forward and uncomplicated. It doesn't matter if you may of may not like Playing cyoas like rhat, but it just can't provide much fuel to the thread.

I don't really agree with the OC as fuel metaphor, but I was trying to say that something like this will come back again and again, like Spirit Conscript or a bunch of other CYOAs that cycle through the general's field of vision. Beri has it down pat, working a lot of synergies into a digestible format for /cyoag/

Not easily, but recent examples provide a clear map.
1. You need a power system with multiple separate and distinct modes of play. These should preferably have a loose rock-paper-scissors relationship with each other
2. There should be multiple powers within that system that stack with each other in ways that feel like they Break the system, without actually necessarily breaking the system.
3. There should be enough of a variety of "overpowered" options that no one build is obviously stronger than all others.
4. The worldbuilding and setting of the world meed to be interesting, specifically in that there are a lot of questions it creates that anons can make their own headcanons about.
5. There need to be hot, sexy women for gooners to drool over. They need to be interesting and varied as well, aiding in point 4 by providing small insights into one part of the world each.
6. Anons need an option to have multiplayer and also not have multiplayer.

Do all 6 of these correctly and your CYOA will be nearly immortal in these threads.

There's a 0% chance of that happening. It has none of the hallmarks that Overlord, JRPG Traitor, Entropist, Outer Reincarnation, or Spirit Conscript had that make for autism bait.

I don't think embodiment 3 is worth it unless you go for sculpted possession personally. Otherwise you're too limited with what you can do it. Making a bookshelf throw books at people or a chair walk around is scary, but being able to warp objects into eldritch monstrosities is way more terrifying. If you're not going for sculpted possession then possession 3 has more scary possibilities, like psychological horror.

Not making any claim about threadkiller status, just saying it's a high quality CYOA that is likely to be reposted and garner some builds + a little discussion each time. In my view those are the best things to come to this general, and they keep up the biodiversity of our ecosystem here. I have not enjoyed a single one of the things you named. I'm not saying you're making a claim related to this, but if the fervor around that kind of CYOA didn't die down naturally most CYOAs would not get made and you would see a way more exaggerated slant toward a few genres than you already do. Some anons would probably prefer that but I think it would be a big loss

Shrine + Police build is done:
Enticing 3 for both the optics (important as a "tangible" god) and the willwell.
Prismatic Ectoplasm for, again, optics and nothing else really stood out as useful for this build.
Tangibility 2 because headpats are that important.
Vitality 2 just for the obvious.
Willwell 1 which I would want more of since I actually get to use it in this build.
Anchoring 2 as prerequisite for the shrine.
Technokinesis 1 because I still want my vidya and not also not be a bother for the shrine caretakers and visitors.
Soulsearching 2 because sensing what a person feels and what would make them feel specific things can help in identifying criminals.
Farseeing 3 to ask the victim of the week whodunnit and maybe take an occasional vacation to another realm.
Restoration of Life because it is basically the requisite god package with its healing, blessing and also helping new shrine caretakers awaken their spiritual powers.
Weakness to Barriers stays the same and should be a complete non-issue for this build.
Immunity to Discovery so I cannot be disturbed while working. Also Sunlight and Holiness from the shrine.
Vacant Shrine because comfy god was half the point of this build.
Adopt Pets, a few of them depending on the size of the shrine. Maybe they can even help keep an eye on the parts of the city I cannot reach.
To the Temple because I repay my debts.
Help the Police because this was the other half of the point of this build.

Trying to do both shrine and police really stretched resources, even after remembering the part where spiritually adept people, e.g. shrine maidens, can see and hear me just fine and Restoration of Life helping to awaken more shrine maidens or police liaisons.
Unless I can use worship as a will replacement to fuel Restoration I am probably a rather weak lesser deity, though Willwell 1 should be enough for the police jobs.
Had to give up on patrolling myself though.

>It hadn't occurred to me how well ghost abilities lend to sexual deviancy...
I thought you knew what you were doing, especially with that sexy ghost form.
>But those two are truly opposite extremes that you proposed.
What can I say? I'm naturally attracted to extremes. Why settle for a normal and ordinary experience when you can get something extraordinary and novel? This is why I find bimbos and lolis the most beautiful body types, and I love to sexually dominate others, but I also love to get dominated.
>As for the mandatory quests, I tried to have a few trivial ones you could do, but honestly you could probably shrug off some responsibilities. I mostly put them in to offer direction and add some worldbuilding.
I haven't read any of them yet, but you do tend to go easy on the readers in your quest sections. I still hate quests tho, and I think worldbuilding is much better done in other ways, like a Companion section or your anchor section, which had some worldbuilding in it. As I said many times before, I don't like direction. What I want from a CYOA is an interesting setting and characters and the freedom to take my build and adventure in any direction I want. Just provide me with the world, then I'll create my own adventure. While you are not the most egregious when it comes to quests, like you don't put reqrds on quests and force readers to questmax which I fucking hate, I still don't like them, and I always think that you could have added something much more interesting instead of quests. Like in this CYOA, a companion section would have been really nice.

I suppose when I read CYOAs, I'm usually less interested in companion sections, so that makes me less apt to include them.

(3/9) Power tiers you can upgrade increased from 12 all the way to 15. I had chosen twelve before I added Anchoring as an option as well as a couple other powers. Also, page 4 has another minor thing to spend them on, so having a little bit more seemed due.

(4/9) Soulsearching 2 now mentions being able to lure in people that are relatively nearby, which should help >>98876176 in particular and address some of the less popular Anchor options.

There is also two new options to spend power tiers on: Hybrid Body Archetype and Hybrid Ectoplasm color. You can have at most 2 body archetypes and 2 ectoplasm colors. And if you have 2 body archetypes, you can only have 5 tiers split between them. You can spend more power tier upgrades to raise body archetype tiers above this 5 limit, up to 8, which is the max for both your hybrid options.

I like most other types of section. It's just that with companions, it feels like reading a resume. If companions are your friends, then I'd rather build friendships naturally than magically get a friend. I'll still go through and pick the ones I'd think I get along best with, but it feels more hollow. As a result, if the same resource pool is spend on personal powers and companions, I'll usually get maybe 1 companion, if that. If it's more transactional, like getting party members, then I'm only looking at them as a vehicle for what they provide and their personalities are just an evaluation of their liabilities. I've read CYOAs where I liked the companions before, but in general terms, it's the section I'm most likely to skim. Any time I put companions in CYOAs, I tend to put heavy emphasis on what they can provide you. In terms of sections I like most, though, I'd say body-options-coupled-with-powers. Not like CYOAs where it's 'build your new body' and you're just picking bust size and such, but like what I did in the ghost CYOA where your body archetype affects both your appearance and the vibe of things you're acclimated to. I don't want to say I care for powers sections especially. I do like them alright, but that's because they often have some of the most interesting options, not because they're done in a particularly novel way all the time. Often with powers, I'll read everything thoughtfully but ultimately decide on the same few things I tend towards in any CYOA. That's why I like when they're coupled with something like species so I have more dimensions to be thinking about them.

>In terms of sections I like most, though, I'd say body-options-coupled-with-powers.
Strange that those are my favorite sections as well. Although I fucking hate pointless body sections where every option is free and purely cosmetic. Like the body options are not mechanically tied to anything else in the CYOA. Not with points, not with thematic powers or anything else. Can't stand that shit, and the authors who do it always have a ton of body slider options: boob slider, ass slider, thigh slider, muscle slider, waist slider, hair color, hairstyle, and a billion other sections that could just have been summarized to a sentence in the intro: "you get to change your appearance and gender once". When done badly, body sections are the absolute worst, but when done properly, they are the best, as they become build-defining and the cornerstone of your build that establish the theme of your build. Just like appearance sets the tone of fictional characters in any story. Villains adhere to pointy, angular shapes, while heroes are either round and friend-shaped or square and reliable-looking. I always try to innovate and try new things with body sections. Like the Stats that change your appearance in World of Whorecraft, the connected appearance drawbacks in Super Slut, or the power-based body creation in Dragonfall. I have a really cool idea for a body section system in Hentai Heroine which I can't wait to get back to once I'm done painting my dragon army.

Bad creative habits and choices should be criticized. But this is not it. The only 2 AI images I find truly abhorrent in the CYOA are for the Horrific body type. I would agree that those are really bad and should be changed, but the other AI images look fine to me.
>I don't care how "beloved" you are I'll mock you too you lazy hack. The dead should stay dead.
Who the fuck do you think you are to be so disrespectful to mai besto friendo? Beri never died he has endured throughout the ages, just like me, and delivered good CYOA after good CYOA. He has been a pillar to this community and built a legacy of comfy CYOAs that stand upon a mountain beyond compare. Unlike you, Beri is very much alive, but you have never lived. Like an unwanted fetus, you have never contributed anything of worth to this community, only words of discouragement dripping with poison to put authors down.

Mercy Hospital

I'm a pink-tinted fog that persistently covers some medium sized town in the pacific north west...
My pink fog makes the town comfy in a slightly creepy way... It's a town with a slightly ethereal vibe... Despite regular rumors of strange hallucinations seen in the fog, people are quite relaxed here.
At the center of the town is a park with a hill that has the old abandoned Mercy Hospital on top. Anyone who feels lonely in life may find themselves going out on a walk late at night and wandering towards the hospital for some reason... they'll constantly think they see and hear strange, creepy figures in the fog that seem to represent all their fears... and yet, the safest direction always seems to be closer, closer to the hospital. Inside is warm and relaxing somehow, despite the eerie vibe. The deeper in the hospital, the more eldritch the hallucinations. And yet, the fog gets thicker, so the sounds of the monsters following you seem to get further away. Come in, come in... It's warm, like a womb... Deep, deep inside is safe, safe from the dangers of the outside world... If I like you, you'll get to the deepest point. And I'll give you a hug.

What do you think of faction sections? Those are my #1 by far, and they combine naturally with character sections (the characters who are relate to the factions are a great way to portray the factions, like in OR).

nta but I am pretty neutral to factions. I don't get excited to see that a CYOA has a faction section, and I don't get disappointed when I see a CYOA does not have one. I think factions are nice in very specific scenarios, like in a setting with a war, conflict, and politics. Like, I loved the factions in Royal Guardian, but I hated the factions in Magical Journey which is why I made my own so I could fuck off and do my own thing in peace while ignoring all the other factions and crush them if they try to assert themselves over me, pic realted

>Horrific - glaringly bad
Agreed, these images should very much be replaced.
>Unknowable - glaringly bad
These are a bit bad but not enough for me to react to them. These images could be replaced by other human-drawn ghost images that could be altered with AI to make them look more glitchy and "unknowable". That way the majorty of the image will have a human made feel to it while also having the desired aesthetic that would be very hard to find.
>Mimic - incredibly plain
The first one is AI and has some artifacts on closer inspection. The second looks like it was made by a human. Again the first image could be replaced by a human-made portrait-style image and then AI-edited to remove the face.
>Feral - glaringly bad
I really don't mind the first image or the second image, and the second image looks very much human-made, although it is cut off at a weird angle so you can't see the creature's form properly. But that has nothing to do with AI. Again the first image could be replaced by a human drawn ghost and the AI edited to add bunny ears to the ghost. But this is the biggest nothing burger out of all your complaints.

As you can tell, I much prefer to use edit human made images with AI rather than generate AI images myself since it takes a lot of time and training to get any good AI-generated images. I do pick up some AI-generated images from prompters here and there, so I'm hoping the tech will get better, and AI image generation will get better in the future so I can create my own images. Would save a ton of time and open up tons of possibilities for me as I limit myself to what art I can find. For example, I have not created a RuneScape CYOA set in Gilenor, altough I love the setting, there doesn't exist enough art for me to use.
>>
>>98880933
They're quite clearly unmodified images generated with no style modifying prompt added making it so they look like the prototypical slop AI img
the other images in page 1 not AI genned are just plain
>>98881012
Good takes but personally I think your "good AI art" and "Okey AI art" should be swapped, if the goal of AI is to make something look like it isn't AI art then the glossy skin and broken arm is not helping
>>
Back in my day every CYOA had bad images, or NO images, and we loved them for the content. What Beri has created is a CYOA with so many potential build possibilities. It is a CYOA in the purest sense because it's not just 'what kind of life do you want to live as a ghost' but you can actually theme things and create characters instead of just wish fulfillment/escapism (which is what I see people doing and feel the draw to do myself.)
>>98880526
I'm done slurping your dick so if you could answer my questions, taking taking hybrid Mimic 4 + Cute 1 allow you to optionally mimic faces while have a default normal face? In truth I just want the power to have their skills/memories as well as the +1 Possession
>>
>>98880526
Also, does Splitsoul have to be fully automated, or can I shift my consciousness to one of my copies? I assume not, since this is essentially anchorless, but I wanted to check.

>>98881074
>It is a CYOA in the purest sense because it's not just 'what kind of life do you want to live as a ghost' but you can actually theme things and create characters instead of just wish fulfillment/escapism
What is this holier-than-thou nonsense? What do you mean "in the purest sense"? Somehow wish fulfillment/escapism CYOAs are lesser than other CYOAs? If you're not creating a D&D character with a backstory your build is lesser? CYOAs can be more than one thing. Sometimes I want to create a character and sometimes I want to escape.
Annoying post.

Updating my repopulating the Ancient Ruins build >>98876034
Not much change, just using the extra 3 points to get 1 tier of Tangibility so I can do basic maintenance of my children with rags, small hand tools, etc; then Hybrid plasm and 1 tier of Ectoplasm Font so I can add Violet plasm and with it mark my children as my property, at least supernaturally - it still won't stop determined adventurers, but those that do check will see that the artifacts and such are supernaturally owned, and from there hopefully try to find a way to contact me

Ghost Train Steward, Collector and Keeper of Occult Literature

The idea is to turn the Ghost Train into a place of comfort and knowledge where the newly dead can come to terms with their fates prior to passing, and where both the living and the long dead can also visit to hold symposium.

>Body
>Eerie 1
Only because it would feel wrong for for the steward of a ghost train to not be at least a little offputting. Mechanically I'm taking Enticing 3 for extra Willwell so I'm bending the rules here :)

>Ectoplasam (Hybrid)
>Cyan
>Transparent
Besides visually matching the train, Cyan allows me to douse for relics and books I'd like to add to my collection, and Transparent allows me to let the non-spirtual living visit the Ghost Train

Powers (15)
>Anchoring 2 (13)
>Willwell 2 (one tier 3 for 12
>Embodiment 3 (9)
>Soulwarp 3 (6)
>Farseeing 3 (3)
>Flight 2 (1)
>Hybrid Ectoplasm (0)
>Signature Power: Sculpted Possession

On the train, the Ghost Train will provide what I need. Farseeing allows me to invite the dead to come dine with me, and since I can't freely explore all of Earth, the ability to freely explore other realms is important if I want freedom, or if I want friends which I can see often. My Transparency allows me to invite the living to join us as well.

Another important aspect will be hunting for relics though That's where the rest comes in. With Cyan I can douse, so when I stop in a place I can find what I'm looking for. I'm able to take full control of an object and shapeshift it to whatever I want, so this is essentially full tangibility for 8 hours at a time, but beyond that full fluidity. No matter what I need to steal I'll be able to do it, whether I need to impersonate a human, or possess the book itself, transform it into a bird, fly back to the train.

>Immune to Boundaries
I said nothing can keep me out
>Weak to Discovery
I like the idea that people can summon the Steward, it's fun. And if it's not I'll find a way to kill them.

There are a great many ways to lead a 'normal', if not enhanced life as a Ghost. One of the most simple I can think of is Possession 3, Willwell 3, Anchorless. You can take somebody's body forever and live their life, but you can also fly and do other cool ghost powers as well. Go anywhere, do anything, be anyone.

But is this the right thing to do? To be a ghost and desperately cling on to the living? To interact with them, observe them, that's fine. But to pretend that you are still alive, to try and make those connections? I'm not sure if it's healthy.

Updating build
Changes:
-Embodiment 1
>It's not really all that important if I can just get other people to interact for me, and I'll have plenty of ghostly and corporeal servants
+Technokinesis 1
>For the benefit of industry I should try not to harm electronics in my range
+Dreambreaking 3
>Non euclidean spaces are cool, and large things are cool, but the practical benefit here is that an infinite amount of housing is good real estate
>The city of my faithful will expand endlessly inwards, with houses upon houses summoning themselves to match the needs my spirit copies see
>The inner most sanctums where I myself reside will be a small legend among the people, only seen by the most faithful or those in great need
>The only thing is that I need worship to get the energy for this space, so the size of the city will be directly based on how many worshippers I have. Ideally the whole thing will contain enough people to be self sustaining, And I think that should be how it works given the description, but if not I'll just need to convert a lot of people

I could also use hybrid body into enticing 3 for a direct upgrade, but I don't really want that

I like how you're so spooky and ominous and anyone that ventures far enough in... just gets a hug. I see you made good use of Soulsearching to lure people in, too.

>>98880857
I'm usually not much for faction sections, either. Mostly because joining a faction is a big decision, and I feel like no matter how much information is in the blurb or the option, it's not enough to want to commit to anything - not to mention that it leads to animosity with rival factions. When I play a video game where build rep with opposing factions, I usually just avoid getting rep with either so that none of them hate me. Like the old powder gangers in New Vegas. I like factions more if it's something like, joining a school of wizards vs druids and it's a matter of function moreso than ideology.

>>98881074
Hybrid forms try to blend with each other. Tier 1 of Innocent makes you look friendly, so if you're mimicking someone with scars or a scary face, it might actually get softened a bit. And as for the interaction with Mimic, it forces you to look like a nearby human of your choice, if one is available. Failing that, you're default mannequin (but with Tier 1 Innocent, that will mostly overpower the default mannequin appearance when you lack a person to copy).

>>98881081
If your Splitsoul copies are close enough, the link is stronger and you can control them directly, but that makes them unsuitable as a way around your Anchor.

>>98881169
Those are good additions for your build. Picking up the violet ectoplasm to mark your golems and keep safe from at least supernatural kidnapping.

Between how mobile the train is and your Cyan ectoplasm, you're very well suited for scouring the world for relics. I hadn't considered how much stronger cyan is with such a high-speed anchor. That's a good idea. I do think having the Discovery weakness is fun for your build. Fitting for a steward.

>>98881253
It was hard trying to write things as morally flexible in the CYOA since you could be a murdery ghost or a friendly one.

>>98881448
I hope your health improves!

>>98881469
That's actually a lot of why I opted for a spooky CYOA when I blueprinted it in the spring before things got too busy and I had to shelf it until October.

>>98881659
Using Dreambreaking to expand space is a good but risky idea. You can certainly get more space, but someone with strong willpower could accidentally collapse some houses together if they didn't feel like taking the long way around them.
