/cyoa/ - Choose Your Own Adventure

>Age

Recent

>Aspect

Humanoid, 190cm tall with the physique of a muscular male. I wear a gas mask and have huge retractable claws but look very much like a human otherwise.

>Triggering condition

A very special day, I'm only active during days when it rains.

>Goal

Chaos agent.

>Victims

Creative, The victims have their throats slit and there is a weird symbol drawn on their forehead with their own blood.

>Abilities

Lair, When hunting more than a single victim i take them one by one into my pocket dimension and return them after killing them and doing my thing. Also seems useful in combat as it serves as an escape method as well as being able to teleport myself.

Regeneration

Contamination, More minions = more chaos. Also hopefully useful in combat.

>Weakness

Chosen one, Pure virgin girls are able to hurt me more easily.

>Enemy

The omega division.

>>13919

Are you one of ebolachans sister?

Kind of weird that an eldritch abomination as old as the universe would only have a few street-level powers.

Age:Recent

Aspect: Semi-Bestial (resembling a chimp nicknamed Chimpy)

Triggering Condition: Cursed Artifact (Shriveled chimp head with a face that permanent pissed off face)

Goal: Hunger (more or less a simple lust for blood and the need to kill, like a pissed off ape)

Victims: Subtle (Despite beating the shit out them like a raging chimp, the bruises and bites will be hard to see but forensic examiners in the morgue will see how bad the handiwork is)

Abilities: Natural Weapons,Natural Protections, Regeneration (anyone fighting this raging chimp man is better off running the fuck away)

Weakness: Good Ol' Beating (It's gonna take a lot to kill Chimpy)

Enemy: The Nameless One (Rumor has it he really hates things resembling chimpanzees. The other groups would fight me but Nameless One called dibs on me first)

I'll likely end up dead by Nameless One's hands but being a raging chimp man, Chimpy is likely to end Nameless One as he dies.

>>13916

>Age

Ageless

I'd rather do recent, but one of the choices later basically requires an older age so I'll go with having no age at all

>Aspect

Semi-Bestial

A creature of indeterminate species, but twisted and broken to appear more in the form of a person

>Triggering Condition

Specific Targets

Teenagers who steal video games. This was one of the harder chioces since so many of the conditions sounds fun, but since there's an enemy section this seems like the safest way to filter out anyone trying to hunt me down.

>Goal

Grand Design

I think a 'recent' spirit could have a grand design too, everyone needs to start out somewhere. Oh well. This seems like the most fun to me out of all the choices, building something up, a grand plan for it all.

>Victims

Vanishing

Besides helping to cover my tracks, this way I don't have to really waste victims, but instead spirit them away into my grand designs. An army of corrupted souls.

>Features and Abilities

Creepymonster.jpg

As per my triggering condition, through the games that people steal I will haunt them, corrupting the game and twisting it into my own domain.

Lair

The game world that I have created with the stolen game is the lair, and I will drag the victims inside. It will end up more of a game of my creation than the one they stole, but I might take a few assets from those games to make things interesting…

Regeneration

Besides corrupting and twisting my lair to my own needs, adding regeneration to my abilities means even if they could find something to attack me with it'll basiaclly mean nothing.

>Weakness

Banishment Ritual

In order to defeat me and temporarily banish me (the most it says is very long time, but that seems relative and vague. that could mean a year or even 6 months to some as much as to other's a decade). The person would have to 'beat' the game of my lair. Of course figuring out how to do this would be massively difficult, comlpex, and you have a monster chasing you while you try to do it. Plus it's not a short game either even if you know what to do.

>Enemy

Omega Division

All of the enemies seem super dangerous and this one just seems the msot fun out of all of them. Not to mention they also seem the least likely to be able to deal with me, since my triggering conditions would make it hard for anyone old enough to be trained to deal with me properly to actually enter. Even if they have young enough agents I'd still probably have enough of an upper hand to deal with things in the game lair.

Seems like a pretty decent 'you're a monster' CYOA, though I spent 2 out of my 3 points just setting up the 'sucked into the game' trope so I guess I wish there was either a drawback section to gain points or that the 'age' section might have effected how many you got, like older more powerful beings getting more points would make sense.

Age: recent

Aspect: I wish to be the little girl. Tell: pallid and corpse-like appearance

Triggering Condition: Summoning Ritual

Goal: Sadism

Victims: Bloodbath

Features and Abilities: Necromancy, Huge Strength, Regeneration

Weakness: Good Ol' Beating

Enemy: Kuznetsov & Sons

I'm basically a supernatural hitman. Anyone from ordinary people with petty grudges to powerful criminal organizations summon me to make examples of their enemies.

>>13916

I feel fairly under-powered given the enemy roster. If only this had a "drawbacks for more boons" system.

>>14062

It certainly seems that way, since the enemies seem to have a massive amount of resources to try and take you down (or is your superior if it's the Nameless One), but it's even worse because of the triggering conditions; they will always know how to find you. If you have a territory, they'll just keep going after you there, since they know where to look if there are legends about you. If you have a summoning ritual, they can just summon you and take you out. If you use a cursed artifact, they just need to find it and destroy you using whichever weakness you chose (although it says the artifact is indestructible, so if you are the object, I'm not sure how that would work). If you choose specific targets, they could probably set up bait somehow (although this is probably the most difficult way for them to find you, since it requires more patience and is more based on chance). If you have special days, they know when to look for you, and can probably find you pretty quickly if they've been tracking you for a while. It needs some refinement.

>>14071

tis why you pick regen and lair. but i agree needs drawbacks to give more points/boons.

>>13916

I'm a horrible demon furry here to rape normies to death.

>age

Dawn of time. I was worshiped by cavemen and I told them jihad everyone that didn't bow down. Got BTFO by a rival tribe and I came back because the furfag's yiffing that bought me back in action.

>aspect

Semi-bestial. I look like what you expect.

>triggering condition

Specific targets. I attack people that don't like me and/or furries. I don't care if it's cheating.

>goal

Grand design. Every rape counts towards my master plan.

>victims

Creative Bloodbath. Maybe just Bloodbath

>furry magic

I will take extra drawbacks.

Insectoid agility because I need to catch normies.

Lair for obvious reasons.

Death cold because the final circle of hell is ice.

Polymorphism because I need to get around. Plus I can trick suckers into bed and reveal myself.

Levitation because why not?

Regeneration because I'm fighting Russians.

CreepyMonster.jpg. An ancient monster with this power? Go figure! I will use this to gain fame.

>weakness

Banishment Ritual only found on the Malaysian deep web that's written in a

extinct language.

3 Chosen Ones which are 3 families I rekt back in the day.

>enemy

The Omega Division. Of course they know about me after fucked on the net and made portals so much.

Kuznetsov & Sons. I don't they would bother to much to come to my place often.

The Silent Church. If they can steal my powers I will steal theirs.

>>14071

>>14072

I suppose if you are the object you would be indestructible, in which case Object / Cursed Artifact would make for one hell of a combo. At that point, (barring any weaknesses) entrapment seems like the only way they can take you out.

As for powers, Lair, Elusive & Polymorphism could let you blend in with humans and disappear at a moments notice.

I doubt any power combo would put you on an even footing with these enemies. In order to make the best of a bad situation it may be smarter to simply focus on evasion/defense/camo over attack. If they can't find you, they can't kill you.

>>13916

2nd build: lets mess with some folks.

Age, old … created in the late 1600's, I suppose? Seems fine for me.

Ethereal, attached to a painting made of me.

Goal: chaos. Victims: suicide

Voices, dreams, and rather than hypnosis like everybody else, I'm going with animal realm: raccoons.

Since the painting that made me, is made partially from the blood of certain animals (blame the silent church's experimentation on that one) I can only be unmade by spilling blood of a beloved raccoon's lifeblood onto my painting, until I can no longer see the real world through the pain of loss. For you can't simply destroy a random raccoon. You must first raise a pet. It must be a part of your family, and you must be the one to spill its blood, and it must still be warm as it drips onto the indestructible, cursed glass over my horrifying, nonspecific visage to separate me from my victims.

The Kuznetsov's have a beef with the so called silent church, as I've killed some of theirs, which is why they found out where I came from, and who to blame. Playing the two sides against each other should keep my painting in the clear a little longer.

>Age

Ancient, related to the legends of the furies, goddesses of guilt and vengeance.

>Appearance

I appear as different human depending on my victims.

There is nothing supernatural about my appearance, except that only my intended victims can sense me in any way, I move at the same pace my assumed identity could, but I'm always capable of teleporting within the range of my prey, similar to "it follows".

>Triggering conditions

Someone commits a crime against the person or property of another person, and gets away with it, with a preference from those who benefited from another's suffering.

>Goal

I seek justice for the wronged, vengeance is the better word for it, however.

>Telltale

I torment my victims for as long as I can before stealing them away, typically just before the point where they would die, such as when they try to commit suicide, this is all basically in the style of "hell girl".

>Powers

I can shapeshift into the forms of my victims victims, this is always how they will see me, my voices follow them wherever they go, I invade their mind with hallucinations and trips into an alternate reality, both of which relate to their crimes, I also enter their dreams to continue tormenting them, I can also possess them, I can also read the mind of my prey.

The point is the whole "guilt" theme.

Maybe I assault them with alternate realities and creatures that symbolize their crimes ala "silent hill", maybe I make them relive their crime from the perspective of their victims, maybe I exploit any religious or supernatural beliefs they may have and send them on a hands-on sightseeing tour of hell, maybe I force them to commit the same crimes against their loved ones, or their own younger selves, or maybe I make them relive the traumatic experiences that sent them down the path of evil in the first place, the options are limitless.

>weakness

I can be banished by a victim who meets three requirements:

A: they feel genuine remorse for their crime.

B: they restore the damage their crime had caused, or perform acts that make up for the damages.

and C: they receive genuine forgiveness from the living person whom their crime has caused the most harm (this can include the victim themselves for those self-hating sorts).

>enemy

My latest victim was Nathan Phillips, whose baseless slander had turned an entire country against an innocent boy, yet received a slap-on-the-wrist in the court case due to political pressure, especially given the celebrity hero status he had received among the rich and famous by then, after targeting this man, his tribe's shaman saw fit to summon a demon eating demon to destroy me - they had unwittingly summoned the nameless, he struck a deal with the tribe considering he fancied leveling up his psychic powers by consuming my own, according to the deal, he has a loyal tribe of native americans helping him to find me, thought the natives cannot see, hear, or touch me, the nameless can.

I'm a psychological horror, not a physical one, when I vanish my prey, I do not kill them, but trap them in a hell of their own making forever, they are forbidden to die, there is always a way out for them, but they must earn it (see weakness), if they earn their way out, I go back in time and have them possess their bodies at the point prior to their crime when they had a chance to choose to not do it and where they would not die for making this choice, I revisit them occasionally to ensure that the change I had made to their souls was permanent, if they reoffended, the haunting would resume, however, I have never had a prey who went back to their old ways.

>>13916

>Age

Recent, if one could describe the 1700's as "recent"

>Aspect

Humanoid: A corpse in hunter's garb, bones picked clean by animals, but with every kill he regains some flesh on his form. With the last slain returning him to his human visage, at least until the hunt begins anew.

>Triggering condition

It's My Territory

The townsfolk burned the old Manse to the ground after they learned that its master preferred to hunt the most dangerous game, but the scorched shell still holds significance to the spirit, and doom to any who disturb it or its grounds

>Goal

Sadism

They are given a sporting chance, the hunt does not begin until they leave the gates of the manor. Whether they make it out of the woods is for them to decide.

>Victims

Creative

A most wondrous trophy room, heads mounted on plaques, bodies preserved and stuffed, tattooed flesh woven together to create a marvelous tapestry. No matter how many are added, there is always room for more.

>Abilities

Ventriloquist

They said that human beings are too intelligent to be fooled by something like a duck call, and yet every time some fool proves them wrong

Elusive

Even in his time he was renowned for stalking like an Indian of the New World, many victims not even realizing his presence until it was too late. Setting up blinds, laying traps, and skinning prey all could be done without a sound.

Iconic Weapon

While the spirit will hunt with everything from swords, to spears, to bows, the one thing that remains constant is an ornate flintlock rifle, usually save for the last man standing. It has but one shot, but when fired, that shot will pursue the target until it either hits its mark or the target escapes.

Weakness

Achilles Heel

at the heart of the forest, far inside the hunting grounds, lies the corpse of the man the spirit once was. Wounded by his prey some 200 years ago, left as food for the creatures of the forest. If one can find this corpse and destroy it entirely, the specter will be banished. A weakness he is well aware of, as he's taken to wearing some fingerbones on his person to prevent total destruction.

Enemy

The Omega Division

The time comes for the ultimate hunt, before this there was only unarmed civilians, the odd "monster hunter" armed with the usual array of useless trinkets and the stereotypical holy trinity of salt, silver, and holy water. At times there was prey who came armed, for whatever good their wonder 9's and deer guns did before their owners unceremonious end. But now comes the ultimate hunt, hunter vs. hunter. Soldiers trained to be anathema to his kind, any other creature would be terrified, but the spirit thinks only of adding their rifles to his arsenal, adding their helmeted skulls to his trophy case, and failing that, causing them so much misery that they would resort to desperate measures. 200 years ago they settled for burning his house, but now, he will not relent until they burn the entire forest to the ground.

>Age

old, I was created somewhere around the middle ages by a vampire, I can't remember most of my human life, but I know I was jewish and grew up in a jewish enclave, my father was a rabbi, apparently, he tried to kill me when I became a vampire, he was delicious.

>Appearance

A fit and handsome young man who dresses, acts, and talks like a stereotypical 80's yuppie, has an odd fascination with precious metals and gems, such as gold and diamonds (but with a severe hatred of silver), or with historically hot commodities such as oil and chocolate (with a severe hatred of garlic).

>Triggering conditions

The desperately poor are my prey, but only if they make a deal with me of their own will, this is done by marking a contract with their own blood, I will mark it with my own at the same time.

>Goal

I am a vampire that embodies the corrupting force of greed, transforming the desperate into my servants.

>Telltale

I make the desperate wealthy, they also become my immortal servants, but in return they must offer up flesh and blood, not their own, but those of others around them, I provide them with a detail of which traits are most in demand, if my servant fails to pay their debts with others, they will pay the toll by being liquidated themselves.

My favorite foods are the young and innocent, babies are the best, and prefer even more when my servants offer up their loved ones and their own flesh and blood, one woman was a crackhead whore who had a bunch of kids, she gave me her baby daughter to stop her crying, had it been an aryan gentile, it would have been best meal I ever had, she was in debt, but she's now the power behind the gangs of chicago, gangs, plural.

I also prefer aryans and gentiles to any other sort.

>Powers

I have all the typical powers of a vampire, at the cost of the accompanying weaknesses, it's worth noting that I am a master vampire lord, with the greatest power at the cost of being the most susceptible weaknesses.

I can change people without biting them, a simple contract is all I need.

I can use magic, magic which has sustained my long and ageless life, but which is powered by innocent blood.

I have a supernatural affinity for social capabilities, a master at knowing and manipulating people, and of charming and outwitting them, I am the ultimate charismatic monster who has managed to maintain an immaculate reputation as a well-loved philanthropist multi-billionaire.

I don't give my victims money, I show them how to make a fortune for themselves, and how to keep me fed in the process, the more they earn, the more they owe.

I also have a special ability to automatically know the best way to make material wealth in any setting or situation, right down to knowing exactly what to do or say, i make heavy use of this ability in my daily work.

I'm also a handsome devil with great charisma, I can seduce or make friends with anyone around me, and project any image of myself into their belief system, of all my parts, it is my tongue that is the most to fear.

>weakness

As a vampire, I am vulnerable to all the usual anathema that vampires are subject too, the ultraviolet radiation burns me, allicin poisons me (even when in someone's bloodstream), the smell of garlic is nauseating (allowing me to sense when someone has it in their system), I can be harmed by silver, the destruction or separation of my heart and brain is the one wound I cannot heal from (thus being lethal to me), I sink when submerged in fast-running water (though I can swim, it does little for me), I cannot enter through any archway unless someone on the other side has given me consent to pass through (but from, then on, I can pass under the arch any time I wish), I do not show up in any reflective surface, fire does not hurt me, but smoke temporarily blinds me and makes me freak out, and finally, I must drink human blood as a human must drink water, I must eat human flesh as a human must eat food, I will die from starvation, but only after aging rapidly and taking on the appearance of a sterotypical nosferatu, while my mind will be taken over by a bestial instinct that seeks out the nearest source of sustenance and gorges itself without any other cares.

>>14102

>enemy

my enemy is that russian family of psychic vampire hunters, they know what I am and how to beat me, though they seem intent on killing me by casting me out into the sun as a means of settling some old grudge that means a lot to them, but which concerns events I've long forgotten (on the basis that I've been doing this shit for a long time).

I'm jewish, and was around during the height of the soviet union, I was taking full advantage of it's opportunities, and apparently that was around the time I did something that put me on their permanent (s)hitlist.

-

I do the "good deeds" that make the world a worse place to be in, everyone loves me (suckers) and I get fed for my work (I'll make you rich if you just give me your virgin daughter, good goy), feels good to be a bloodsucking jewish bastard.
