All of them, like all Tankista CYOAs. Picking a shard is a trap. Picking a blessing is a trap. Politicking is a trap. Dabbling in blood magic is a trap. Accepting the Omniarch's position is a trap.
Option A is your only escape.

Both Evernight and Earth Mother are traitorous whores. Lord of Storms is a ragetard, Eternal Blazing Sun is a narcissist, God of Wisdom is a reclusive hermit, and God of Steam is a useless fraud. God of Combat would be a ride or die husbando though.
True Creator is fucking insane, Primordial Demoness would leave you traumatized with a broken dick (possibly castrated too) and scared of women, Dark Side of the Universe is an actual literal psychopath that will torture you to death, Hidden Sage would mindrape you, and Chained God is a volcel with a chastity belt.
Almost all of them are terrible romance interests

>>97484296
Maybe. I had hoped that Hunting+Crossbow+Traps would help deal with the more mundane wildlife while Mysticism+Monsters+Mirandawould help me out with the Cryptids.
Thinking about switching out Irene for Phyllis and buying her a rod.
Bart may be a better pick than Hans too.
Chuck + Hans would make a great combo if getting rich was your goal.

This is probably why GA instead of CW accommodated the City of Calamity: it wasn't because he had greater foresight, but because he was simply more willing.

But she does. You just have to make an average Northerner and she will instantly drop to her knees. That's what happened the last two times. Anon told me.
>MC
>Some do, some don't.
Male Auctors don't count, lesbians Auctors can be turned straight and the rest are waiting for their picturesque romance. I'm sure Evoco will be the perfect housewife once she's addicted to the D.
>PPPP
>Maybe? Who knows, she a strange woman.
She's a normal woman, it's already over. The real challenge is Valentina (and she loses too btw)
>JRPG Traitor
>Some do, some don't.
See the response for Magi Case.
>Entropist
>True, but they aren't your opponents. The Goddesses and Tempered Heroes don't.
Because you're not attractive and charismatic enough, simple as. Deceiver hot Strahd builds and plowing goddesses like crazy. Otherwise you have less aura than the Groom.
>IDL
>We don't know shit about them.
'Technically' we know their domains and their followers, so we can make an educated guess. Raping the defeated goddesses is a staple in dark fantasy.

Maybe for you lil bro
>>97484923
True that. Happiness, self-actualization, money, fame, power, health, immortality, knowledge, peace, enlightment, thrills, duty, family - all rendered useless before the mighty Dick.
This is a fun rationale to use ngl. I see the appeal.

Out of all Overlords only Alis Bradford loses to cock, but she's a silly virgin who loses to any traitor who is smooth enough to play along with her sex pest antics. Traitor's gender is irrelevant, Alis gets dommed by both boys and girls.

>companions are great adornments to cyoas
Wrong.
Companions and waifus are cancer that kills any creativity and interest in the setting or the actual mechanics of cyoa. The fact that people obsess over them is what kills OC.
Take JRPGTraitor, no one gives a single, even the most miniscule, fuck about making a cool build or story, it's all about "but I wanna fuck this giiiiiiirlll..."
Isekai Bounty Hunter? The only interest is in fucking the girls.
Same with OR, or any other cyoa that doesn't cater to powerlevelfaggotry. It's all about muh companions, muh cute girls and all discussion revolves around them specifically.
More than that, people have conditioned themselves to only remember CYOAs that have waifus. Now it is seen as a goal in itself.

Hmm. Right now I have 370 points from Oaths. I refuse to take any more. In order to unlock Aelthiriel's true potential, I need 400 total points available. That means I can give up by other 2 companions and gain 30 points, and thus be able to walk alongside a divine avatar. But there are other cool companions. Difficult choice.

>Option C) Blow your head off so that your heart can be transplanted into imouto, giving her a chance to beat Ligma. She will know what you've done.
Kinda like that. Something miserable and vague.

>>97485409
Because if it isn't her, what's the point?
Why not 100 android imouto? Why not modify her perception and download inhuman knowledge? Why even keep all her real memory packets at the top?
Eternity is the opposite of identity. Without identity it's just another computer and maintaining identity is implausible
>>
>>97485420
>Because if it isn't her, what's the point
It may be her. You're denying her a chance to have a better life in a superior body just because you are afraid to gamble. Despite the fact that she's gonna die soon anyway.

Okay so in Radiant, my issue is that my companions are so much more powerful than me? Like I am pretty badass, but more power = wider power rather than tall. So I can do tons of things but I can't 'summon giants', 'conjure earthquakes'' or naturally bless all land I am on + completely negate all negative magic just by existing, stop time, rain meteors, open portals between worlds. We cannot compare to that!

Apotheosis seems lame because you're basically useless after it. Meanwhile spelltheif can just render people completely powerless while gaining power for herself like no big deal.
Reinforcement and Enhancement is the only thing I can really see that has the power to scale. I can get x1000 strength speed durability stamina, now that's something special. I wish other abilities could stack like that. Can you explain the power of metamagic?
>>97485499
Yeah I'm taking crown of stars as well as the book of names since I am an inquisitor or whatever they're called..
>>97485511

>>97485520
I shall explain you my wizard paladin build.
metamagic is wonderful thing, the author actually said it you can use it with normal magics not only paladin powers. They allow for a fuck ton of utility like you can store and automate death wards in advance that will refresh every 24 hours rendering you immortal. Act is just obscenely retarded its pretty much magical programing where you can set any conditions you can imagine and you have a literal detector for what will and will not break your oath. With store + act + runestones you can set up automated traps, spell contraptions, wards, etc. Now with focus you can engage in hax fuckery, where you can exclude people from your safety zones, then you can just lay traps while in stealth using holy shrouds or just throw them outside of the safety bubble and activate them, so they will attack your enemies while you remain invincible in your bubble.
>>
>>97485520
>Can you explain the power of metamagic?
Buff all your allies to the moon, including clones who may protect you when your Apotheosis ends, save activations of powers with energy of Apotheosis to use later, do all of that automatically. Fun stuff like that.

However, I am sorry, but I shall not fight dishonorably. Moreover, as a beacon, I strongly suggest that you too begin to fight with honor.

These are my powers! I think all around they're pretty good.
I am wondering what to do with my final 40 points however.
I could spend all 40 on magic immunity, be totally immune to all types of magic?
Or I could spend it on various things to help people like totems, absorb wounds, that shit.
Or some third thing?
In combat I will be using Radiant Surge/Strike to burst in, my holy flame fists burn past their resistances into their souls, smite it for extra juice and a holy fire explosion. If it's a big mass, Radiant Barrage. I am at x300 strength/speed so I should hit like a truck. The other stuff exists to help find the evil'uns and to help the people I meet.
>>
>>97485743
Oh and I forgot to mention the fact that because I try not to kill and want to give people a chance to surrender, I will restrain them with my chains. Ideally my chains float around me while I fight, adding an extra dimension. I can easily put them in submission and wrap them up. If they surrender, they will be taken to justice. If not, they will burn.
And if my burning chains are not enough, or I want to be showy, I will use farspeak and loudly proclaim their sins until they are Condemned and ripped apart. And when the people cheer I will put a hand up and say "No, people. Let us not rejoice. Let us be relieved that we are rid of evil, and yet lament the loss of a soul who strayed from the light."
They will ask for my name and I will say "No people. I have no name. I am but a servant of the light", but I saved all their asses so they will bring me to the bar anyways and we go woooo
>>
>>
>>97485743
Okay I think I take back what I said about being underpowered also.
Usain Bolt goes 44.72km/h, let's call that peak human. This is about 3699 m/s using my x300 ground speed. I can run from LA to NYC in about 18 minutes. I easily have the stamina for that as well.
Now my flight speed is x10 that, which is let's say 37 km/s. I put on wings and I can do that cross country America trip in under 2 minutes. I can fly across the entire world in about 18 minutes.
Now let's keep in mind that if I take comet, I am coming down at many times faster than that, let's say 5? Conservatively. I do not know what that might do, hitting the ground in an explosion of Holy Fire at 185km/s, but it must be devastating.
>>
>>
>>97485802
Doesn't matter I have radiant surge so I can instantly move across short distances, and for long distances I can fly at x3000 speed.
Anyway, it says that if I take marital arts master I count as 'armed', meaning I will not be able to use my Holy Shroud powers. If I wear coverings on my hands to prevent their lethality and show no intent to harm can I still use it

If your imouto is about to die the correct answer is to kill her with your own hands. At least then, it's out of love, since it comes from a personal connection. Why let an impersonal ligma kill your imouto? Clearly, you should do it yourself, and not let yourself get cvcked.

Inverse situation for me - I'm only interested in what I could do in the setting and all the future adventures - waifus aren't part of my fantasy.
Unless they have lore attached to them, in which case they can be a platonic companion for the arc linked to it.
That's why I skip most companions sections.

I took back what I said I am a god.
But now I have another issue.
What happens if the laws of the lands fail? If there is a corrupt statesman who has killed and tortured for financial gain. I cannot strike him, he is unarmed. I can metamagic condition on him that he will burn in holy chains if he sins again, but that is harming him while he is unarmed.If the justice system fails to stop him, what do I do? Am I allowed to execute?

The waifus themselves aren't the issue, how much they are remembered will rest entirely on how much they will be able to start an autistic debate around them, and that part is completely out of your hands.

Kay I will be honest here, the 'do not harm the unarmed' creates some serious problems. I would REALLY love to do metamagic act so that if they break conditions my chains will bind them and burn their soul no matter where they are. But if they're unarmed it won't happen.
I do want to show mercy. Genuine pleas for mercy I will gladly heed. But if some guy keeps doing evil and going 'hee hee hee look no sword in my hand' I want to smite his ass!
There is always the option of stripping them and throwing them on a desert island. There is also the option of calling an avenging paladin who isn't bound not to harm and letting them deal with it. But idk. I might have to give up one companion to make this work.
>>
>>
>>97486671
I don't understand why people are always going "b-but what if my oath SABOTAGE ME and leaves me BETRAYED and TRAPPED?"
If the bad guy is doing evil, you smite him. If he goes 'hehe no sword' you restrain him in a way he can't betray you later. It's not rocket science.

Okay so consider this:
A man who is a councilor of the city is using his influence and power to torture people who cross him. For financial gain. He absolutely is unarmed, he's a little man sitting in his office chair. If you hit him, kill him, smite him you would be harming an unarmed man. A dangerous man, absolutely, but still unarmed. This is a chivalry oath, it is dishonorable to attack him.
So what can you do? Restrain him, provide full evidence of his transgressions, give him to the justice of the city. But if they find him not guilty because he owns the courts, what do you do? He is continuing to torture people, you can go stop the torture yourself but it will just keep happening.
There are always ways to stop it. You can take all his possessions off his person, fly him to a fishing town across the world, and redistribute all his wealth. You can chain him in a basement somewhere forever. But isn't smiting him so much easier?

They let him go free.
I chain him up in his house? And then I go and arrest the judges who freed him and chain them up. Now who is doing the judging for the judges and for the first dude.

Sure, it might be messy or tricky, but even killing them leaves the questions doesent it? Someone is going to have to fill the power vacuum and youre probably going to want to make sure its not just another evil dude (and that it doesent devolve into civil conflict)
Arrest the dude and bring him to court, if the courts are evil dismantle the courts and have the dude AND courts answer to a higher authority (if one exists) or let the people lynch them I guess if theres no other option.

Finally, we have the White Tower's rituals.
>Wisdom Angel: Cause the fall of an Angel through intellect rather than force.
This may seem like a problem until you realize that you can just shove an s2 or s1 characteristic into someone to make an angel.
>White Tower: Survive a catastrophe brought about by an existence above Sequence 0 (those caused by Sephiroth combined with corresponding Old One knowledge also qualify).
Surely the Original Creator waking up counts, but does the arrival of mysticism without him waking count? If it does, this is auto completed in all scenarios, but if it doesn't, this calls for a path switch In Modern Day.
>>
>>97487142
>Ritual: Analyze the flesh, blood, or Beyonder characteristic of an Angel from either Knowledge pathway and master at least one-third of the knowledge contained within—or receive the blessing of one such being.
So White Tower outright needs Paragon or Hermit angels to exist to advance at all. Very cool. Also strange how it says "either" Knowledge pathway, does White Tower not count as a Knowledge pathway?

The Sefirot consciousnesses were never killed and are unsealed In Modern Day, they're going to cause trouble sooner or later. You just have to survive it. In Modern Day White Towers may complete the ritual before they even reach Angel tier through chance and happenstance.

So you, a Seq 3, have to gain an extra Seq 1 or 2 Characteristic from any pathway, force it into someone, and cause the fall of the resulting Angel through "intellect and not force", whatever that means. That's pretty difficult.

Only the Lord of Mysteries specifically can take on an infinite amount of non-countering symbolism GOOs thanks to their Marionettes and Substitutions and other hivemind abilities. 2 GOOs with counter symbolisms are enough to match a Pillar. 3 counter symbolism GOOs can overpower a Pillar. And a single GOO with the right symbolisms can survive, avoid, or injure a Pillar in the right circumstances.
Pillars are powerful but they're not going to instantly win all fights, even against technically weaker GOOs.

This is wrong, both LOM and GA can take on infinite amounts of GOOs that don't counter them. MGoD can only take on two or three GOOs, but she's immortal and indestructible. They'd need GOOs with sealing symbolisms to deal with her for good.

>>97487743
But the immortality relies on a "status quo" that can't be broken, akin to a slice of life anime. This suggests that it blocks against anything that could disrupt the status quo, whether "good" or "bad". A permanent - or even frequent - gender transformation would be a serious upheaval to the status quo. Maybe you could get away with a "genderswap episode" to become a guy once every couple months, but I don't think the status quo would allow it as a normal thing.

its very damn vague and as written as raw it only effects if a bad thing happens. "You have magic, and if anything bad happens to you, you'll reset to the status quo" of course it will most likely reset you to the body of a little girl, but you transform again.

Hermits would be a unique menace In Modern Day. Internet and other information technology buffs them massively. The Paragon in LOTM was already having trouble finding a quasi-Hermit, modern day Hermit would be genuinely unfindable if they wanted to be.

He was a hermit pathway beyonder until Sequence 2, then switched to Paragon because he was scared of fighting Hidden Sage and skipped straight through to Paragon without digesting his characteristics.

Even if you were the Paragon, do you really think you could find the Hidden Sage where Stiano couldn't? Hiding is straight up one of the Hermit pathways authorities, and the Mystery Prying authority makes 99% of traps and ambushes ineffective against them. No Seq 0 has the ability to find them if they don't want to be found, any engagement would happen on their terms or not at all
>>
>>97485406
They're more than fine In Modern Day. In fact, the outer god paths have a great advantage there because the wills inside their characteristics are much weaker due to the barrier. Beyonders of those paths will advance faster and resist losing control easier. Trouble will come in... tens of thousands of years, at which point if these paths had GOOs early, they should have already created enough countermeasures.
As the only outer god path connected to a pillar, the Goddess of Origin may well usurp the Mother Goddess of Depravity if the situation on Earth is good enough.

Bullshit. Just because a trash Paragon, which doesn't even have a countering authority against hiding, can't find it, doesn't mean White Tower, Key of Light, or Chained cannot.
>>
>>97489402
Only person on that list that has any chance of knowing is White Tower thanks to their Omniscience symbolism. Neither Wheel of Fortune or Chained have any symbolism or authority that counters a Hermit's Hiding. Funnily enough Mystery Prying is one of the few counters to Hiding, it's potent enough to have a chance of seeing through the concealment of Darkness according to the authors wechat.

Makes perfect sense to me. Authority over information must also include the ability to hide that information, including hiding who you are and where you are.

Firstly, Genetic sexual attraction, the thing I am refering to, Is an observed piece of data. The model changes to the data, not the other way around
Secondly, inbreeding increases the rate of "homogenous" genes like BB or bb.
From the perspective of individual genes wishing to spread, this can be not only good but worth a slightly reduced fitness, because it guarantees the gene some amount of spread among its own regardless of outside circumstance. The reason that people feel less inclined to fuck those who grew up with them is likely a social evolution to do with tribal mantainence, outside of the social situations genes love to clump together
If there were someone with the same genetics as you from a different family, from a certain perspective, they would be the perfect mate

Hey, does someone know if in Spirit Conscript you can join a Faction as a member, while also making a New Sect? You can only be a Member of a Faction, but I don't know if you can technically create a New Sect while being the member of a Faction, like a sub group.

>does White Tower not count as a Knowledge pathway?
Don't think so. In the supplementary ingredients, it says
>“知识导师”或“贤者”经常使用的物品1件
>One item frequently used by "knowledge mentor" or "sage".
Which are the s2 of Paragon and Hermit. There is no mention of White Tower.

Yes, but the Ninokata are the most severe with that.
The Undead faction, for example, makes marriages to make alliances. Meanwhile the Ninokata are dying because of their opposition to add new blood.
Basically the only way to save them is by joining them and becoming the stud. Because even if the current heir survives, the clan will keep going down hill with their incest problem. And they can't disappear, they are the most useful human dynasty for the city and their affinity is the most lethal (you want them in your team with their time fuckery).
So the best option is to join them, save them from their stupidity, breed Takako and make the City better with them. The only real problem is being a Ninokata member at the same time you are going out with Futaba, the richest gal with the army of slaves. Add dating Yomi, so you probably will meet the Hair Tribe, whose leader is the dad of Futaba who exiled her, and you have a coctel of being in the middle of a lot of problems.
Imagine if you wanted to also go for the blue oni twins and Mai.

Searching for CYOA images is truly a tumultuous affair
I have a few characters from my previous CYOAs returning in my new WIP:
One character was from a very well-known and popular anime. He had thousands of pictures. I thought I'd have an easy time finding more pictures of him for this CYOA. Nope, barely anything posted on any booru in years, and nothing with proper framing/content. I end up having to switch him to use a completely different character for his images because there's just nothing to use.
Another character is a very minor character from what was already a very obscure media franchise. She had barely any fanart when I did my first CYOA, and barely anything has changed since. I used up a huge chunk of all her usable fanart in my first CYOA. I search up one of the images I need of her, and somebody posted one of the most perfect images possible apparently only 18 hours ago. Incredible.

The hardest part is it being cohesive, I think. Images are thousands of almost everything, but the type you want? Thats another thing.
And not to open a can of worms, but AI fucked it up more. Basically any type of image you search, even fucking animals in real life, has AI.
Honestly, AI has been a downgrade in my life, I don't use it, its being shoved down my throat by everything, RAMs are more costly and it looks like another bubble.
I miss times pre generative AI, when you could see videos without trying to guess if its AI or not

Just prior to this image I had to spend a few hours painting over a "no training/no AI" watermark an artist had plastered over the art I really wanted to use. It's especially annoying because if someone wanted to use their image for training it'd take seconds to just feed it into an image gen and tell it to remove the watermark, but I'm going strictly no-AI for at least most sections of my CYOA. So it only really hurts honest, (chaotic) good folk like me instead of the AI people

It feels weird to not be one.
+Best clan for the City (the only ones doing a real change for the better)
+Most lethal affinity
+Assassins
+Almost every other faction hates them but they keep living because they are that good
+Genuinely good people
+Comes with an harem, as literally all of them except a kid are women wanting to fuck
-Incest fucks them up and will disappear eventually if they dont add new blood
-Hardest faction to join, basically impossible
Not joining them is bad for the city, and joining them is incredibly good for you.

In that world, if you want to make it better, you are going to have to kill a few people.
They only target powerful people trying to become despots. They target from both Yudi and Yama factions, showing they are impartial, its also stated that the corrupt elite hates them. They are doing a good job.
A group of assassins that targets corrupt powerful people only, that are hated by that evil people, that don't make favourites to ignore, and that put their duty to the City above their lives, I would say they are genuinely good people. And they for sure make more good than a Batman approach would

I posted about the first guy and my troubles with finding images for him a week or two ago
My resignation and decision to use a new character for his images, as well as everything about the obscure second character, is brand-new, never-before-seen information
