>>1718 A thing I do like about DC Death is they took a lot of the same things from Discworld Death, including that quote about the chairs at the end and how there is no atom of mercy. But in that vain, if someone knew that, she would be really easy to find. The main reason people can't see Death is because the really don't want to for their own sanity. Those that can see her do not realize it most of the time. But as a jumper I figure she might sense the desire to meet and chat. If she shows up is another matter. But with Discworld knowledge, if you went there first you can summon her through that ritual. She just isn't bound to the summoning circle and mostly uses it to make other feel comfortable. I think that could be a really funny plot point while in DC. Jumper just has Death on speed dial and he keeps calling in this weird goth girl to help him set up his summoning circle and face paint the people trying to summon Death. Because you have to have the spooky face paint.

Speaking of does anyone know of any way to just arbitrarily not be part of deaths jurisdiction? Like just be deathless?

>>1727 >The Department of Efficiency April Fools event happens permanently I guess this site has to die someday.

>>1732 In DC you have to be a true immortal that can revive from anything. Similar to how Deadpool once was.

>>1732 Become a Type-CHAD in Angel Notes, Tsukihime, or FGO Part 2. For Tsukihime, Beautiful Blood and being a True Ancestor also do it.

Do you guys think an unbreakable umbrella would be a bad idea? Would probably use it as a sheild item when I go to a xianxia jump. Just pop it out and block bullshit.

Good morning new thread. Do you guys have any ideas for a magical item that would be useful for a necromancer? I was thinking maybe a ring that allows me to regenerate from any soul damage really quickly as well as allowing me to shave off a tiny part of my soul to put into my creations to give me a sort of necromantic hivemind. Bonus points in that it would mean I dont need to use anyone elses souls but Im unsure if this would be a good idea.

>>1731 Someone might argue whether the Rite of AshkEnte would even work on DC Death, given the Death of the Discworld is technically a mere fragment of Azrael, the Death of Universes, and the Endless effectively have full jurisdiction as the X of their particular universe. And funnily enough? Strictly speaking if your only goal is to just talk to her rather than BING her, it's piss easy. One of the Sandman comics even involved a family that barely knew anything about magic kludging together a dream quest-style ritual to go talk to her about potentially resurrecting a family member. She was super reasonable about it and even let them trade a life for a life, to maintain the balance or somesuch. It makes people like Felix Faust look hilarious by comparison when an actual, in-universe fact in DC is that while it's relatively hard to talk to an interdimensional demon or resurrect an ancient warlord who has been dead for centuries, the more sociable pillars of existence are actually so easy to talk to that many muggles have done it without fully understanding how. This may or may not be because of the Apex Predator thing, but it probably has nothing to do with it since the Apex Predator thing was written way later and until then humans were "merely" supposed to be the successors to the New Gods. In other words, you probably don't even need mouse blood or a FULL egg to adjust the Rite for Death. >>1732 Death is...polite about people who a god has a claim on. It's not precisely fully immunity and she can take slap around a god if she really wants to, but in the case of Element Woman she had to be talked around into explaining how to get out from under Ra's "blessing". Given the way she talked about it and the fact that it's been shown supernatural entities in DC can sometimes be arbitrarily weakened when treading on each others' rules or laws, one could argue Ra's blessing was actively keeping her from Death _directly_ taking her although Death probably doesn't see much of a difference between rules lawyering and doing things directly. The main example of a guy who was flat out immune to Death is Lucifer Morningstar, holder of half the Presence's power, who even when tricked into basically smiting himself by a sentient deck of cards (and the machinations of Japanese deities, and being distracted by an argument with his girlfriend) resisted being reaped through sheer spite.

>>1732 Archlichs in D&D can sometimes be revived from their own death in the lore because they can draw so much strength from death, and they're not technically made up of negative energy like the normal Undead. Moreover, they are the only Undead I can think of that are entirely immune to being Turned. >Turning Immunity (Ex): Many good liches cannot be turned or destroyed by good or neutral clerics. When evil clerics attempt to rebuke or command them, they are turned or destroyed instead. Whatever that is next in a theoretical evolution of Archlich would probably be close or what you want. There's also the Deathless template for more positive energy Undead.

>>1736 Sounds good. I've read xianxia where chars use umbrellas and yes, they do tend towards being used as defensive items.

>>1736 Depends on how big the umbrella is; but yeah use that shit to block the tribulation lightning.

>>1738 The ruling ring from the new lord of the rings jump? >Acts like a phylactery >Enhances all powers you have >Can corrupt others to give you the ring back if stolen

>>1738 I like the Boxers of Healing. For a cheap 4k gp, you can enchant a pair of boxers to heal 1d8+1 HP every round. Very good item. I also recall an item called Bag of Bones. You can summon so many sekepeton warriors per day. It I was similar to the Bag of Tricks.

>>1736 I had that as a stand idea one time. Basically an umbrella that reflects everything away from the top of it

>>1735 >Type-CHAD Gohanposter orgasms aside, unironically seems to be ORT in Nasu's mind given how his explanation for how Camazotz can beat him boils down to "only a Chad can beat another Chad" More seriously I don't actually think a TYPE is immortal enough to be truly immune to the Eldest Sister. There still seems to be a meta-lifespan for universes-actual, no bullshit universes not Human Order timelines-in Type-Moon given that the Moon Cell, Umbral Star and Olympian gods all came from previous ones. And judging from Extra/Notes even celestial bodies can apparently just run out of life one day, even if not physically destroyed. The only reason I'm even curious if it would be hard for her is because of the weirdness in LB6 about Avalon being the centre of the universe, and the big bang hologram thing inside of Arc's soul in the Tsukihime remake that Nasu hasn't elaborated on. Technically speaking star spirits did give Dream trouble in Prelude but like...it was a whole city of them gone mad that stuffed him into a black hole.

>>1741 >>1742 >>1745 Nice, protective umbrella is going on the list then. Im thinking one of those neat, painted chinese fancy umbrellas. The big ones.

So I recentley read a really unknown manga called Ukyo's Sky/Ukyou No Oozora, a martial arts manga in the vein of Streetfighter Tekken/Tough & Baki that was released around the same time as those two as well. The art is fantastic and the fight's are pretty good but it kind of suffers from having no filler, which is an odd thing to write, since you don't really get any character work beyond those fights and it just kind of becomes less impactful as it goes on since there's not really any significant emotional content to connect you to the characters beyond small bits here and there that feel like they were forced in against the authors will. All in all a solid 6/10 or a weak 7/10 in anycase, it'd make a great jump but it's unfinished and hasn't been updated in two years. Anyway the hook of the manga was that the main character, Ukyo, practiced a martial art called Musashi Ritten Style with the lore of it being that it was Miyamoto Musashi's unarmed style that was his "true" style of choice, one that would let him defeat armed opponents with just his bear hands, in reference to Musashi's school of swordsmanship being a dual wielding style the legs and arms both made up the two "blades" of this style. Okay with the pre-amble done reading that manga has inspired me to make a chain based on this and i've got two contenders for which i'm going to start with for that chain which would be either Fate Legends - Rising Sun since i'm pretty sure it has a perk to turn your sword style into an unarmed one in it and Katanagatari since that's the main character's whole deal as well from what I remember. Anyway any other suggestions on where I could start it or where I should go during it would be appreciated.

>>1740 I like his beard

>>1744 And nobody thinks to steal the boxers off a corpse >>1743 That is pretty good.

>>1739 >other words, you probably don't even need mouse blood or a FULL egg to adjust the Rite for Death And that just makes it better. Jumper could summon Death just by convincing the JL that he can and trying to put on a show to get her attention. But there is also the idea and claim that when you have a near death experience she has a near you experience. If a person has truesight or just the know how to see her, being around the JL long enough would see the two of you having some nice chats. Or you could just visit a hospital for a faster option. I do love the idea of the entire JL thinking jumper is crazy with his imaginary friend DD. And then Dr Fate walks by and starts freaking out. If a friendship does form, I like to imagine her playing along with jumper games, such as the aforementioned trading life for a life of challenging her to games to save some. But random games like Yugioh that no local knows.

>>1736 Sounds great if it has a built-in locking mechanism to keep it open. If it's a basic parasol that seems like a bad idea.

>>1748 Pretty sure a few of Gene's jumps could give you a good starting point. That or something like Dead or Alive or another fighting game?

>>1738 Overlord, The Orb of Death - Can store infinite negative energy. Size of a baseball, though. I'm sure you can shenanigans that to be smaller with the right perks.

>>1736 Does anyone consider the transfer of kinetic energy that could occur through the umbrella

>>1749 Archlichs can canonically do everything they did while alive. Eat, sleep, have children. Some Archlichs just look like dudes or ladies with glowing eye sockets. They do get somewhat skinner.

>>1726 The site wasn't updated in 10 years anon, the last time it was updated was when Moot was still in charge and Hiro was raking in the pass dollars

>>1754 Has Gene done any fighting/martial art's jumps besides Baki part 1 & 2? In anycase I like the idea of that especially since Musashi himself show's up at somepoint doesn't he. I'll have a look into some fighting game jumps as well, thanks anon. Also like Baki Ukyo's sky has a guy representing 4000 years of chinese kenpo. Also parkour on moving cars and Ukyo fighting not!Andy Hug.

>>1751 Tbqh I don't think the Justice League, even with their occasional object permanence issues about things like remembering they literally have the Spear of Destiny in their basement, would be THAT skeptical given that they consistently have an actual Lord of Order, a demon from Hell, and the Spirit of God's Vengeance on their team. And somewhat less regularly these days, an angel from Heaven who realised Heaven wasn't doing enough good. (I don't actually know what Zauriel's current status in DC canon is, they used to have a buddy cop tension thing between him and Etrigan, now Etrigan is definitely on the Justice League Dark but I don't actually remember Zauriel even being mentioned anywhere recently)

This is gonna sound insane but I want to run a FAIR casino. A casino where the house DOESN'T always win, where there's ALWAYS at least 50% odds of the player winning. Besides "an infinite amount of money", what do I need to make this dream a reality in my chain? How do I tilt the odds OUT of my own favor without allowing blatant cheating or the like?

>>1679 Does destiny have a 90s boyband infected with a cybrog zombie plague due to their morally bankrupt corporate sponsors wanting to mass-produce them, who sing songs which sound like generic pop until you realize they're full of innuendo constituting a full-on villain song, or commenting on plot elements they have no business knowing about in the first place? Because that's funny to drop on any setting, and they're recruitable in-game. https://youtu.be/YtF6jiLxc88 PSA, there's an event mission going on now. Steel Path Survival, reward is an Umbra Forma.

>>1753 True >>1756 Yeah but usually Im thinking it would be braced or used to stop attacks like lightning blasts and such. Will need to work on its self bracing powers.

I don't even know what my own tastes are half the time. Why is this fucking flower doing it for me? >>1759 Far as I can recall, Baki is the only martial arts-focused series I've made Jumps for.

>>1761 By just being fair. That's it, maybe have slot machines that aren't rigged and such

>>1764 Don't fuck the flower, Gene.

>>1761 Okay well, for starters you NEED to ensure that the casino is not being run by humans or other profit-driven sentient lifeforms. Because 80% of the problems with the casinos-from (allegedly) executing the homeless with flooding to preserve the nearby city's appearance to rigged pachinko machines-come from humans (or other greedy sentient lifeforms) trying to milk other humans (or other greedy sentient lifeforms) for all the money they're worth. Knowing that underneath all the bright lights and shiny colours, a casino is basically a gaping maw that could go under if the patrons wake up to the fact that it has no purpose outside of taking their money. I suggest staffing it with a demon/ghost/fairy from a western cartoon setting. Those tend to look at real world evil and go "Hey! This may be evil, but it has no STYLE! No FLAIR!" and promptly set up a system that has penalties like being trapped in cutlery but also genuine boons like hellfire powers. Alternatively just have it be run by some perfectly programmed AI arbitrator that can produce a hologram called "The Biggest Boss" or "Gina Gazongas" who resembles an incredibly crass, confident incarnation of affluence and success that can simultaneously annoy and attract customers into giving the slots and tables a go while low key tilting the odds so they have a fair chance. Alternatively alternatively, find Goro Majima from somewhere in the multiverse and put him in charge.

>>1764 Fuck the flower Gene.
