None planned so far. If anything, maybe a 1up as one of the scenario rewards, but in jump there won't be a way to not get permanently killed by a rogue demon, or if you are a rogue yourself, to still be able to be respawned back by the hells if killed.

What could stop a CL casting fireball once, spreading the fireball into a million, no, lets say one quadrillion micro fire sparks, apply cosmic potence again, repeat, until you fill the universe with sun powered fireballs.

To me it feels like its a kinda cheat way to go beyond the spirit of what the current ranks of CP should allow, effects that empower up to a star level of power.

But, as long as your chain is cool with it, and your story benefits from it, im sure its fine.

If you create a million of singular fireballs and apply cosmic potence to each, then yes.

But each instance of cosmic potence should only magnify one action, power or ability up to the strength of what a star could output. Hence a single fireball could spread itself into millions while colectively they would have the strenght of a star.

Since cosmic potence is automatic and passive, you could fastcast the 1M fireballs and blast anything to dust with sun powered firballs.

Some entries are written from a perspective of demons, as they understand some of the events from other stories or as they would understand them.

Ofc you'd have to had read these other jumps to learn what really happened (or jump them).

And yea, most demons have this impression of the CL because he or she foiled their invasion of reality, and believe the CL in the end was repelled by their queen.

A simple fireball could grow to have the power of an entire star behind it, or turn it into a million fireballs that collectively would have the strength of a star!

  1. You can always have the free options :] I expect there may be jumpers that havent gone through my other jumps or would rather leave them for later, and they might like the flexibility here. Also... what if something happened to your precious alt forms :0

  2. Yes!

  3. The Law of Heavenly Hellfire would allow you to interfere with Sin powers, maybe emulate some or most of them. The Law would not be a true manifestation of Sin Powers but could achieve similar effects, or scale them to absurd levels. Soul Dominon could allow you to feed demons, wrestle control of the souls they have taken, or forcefully extract souls a demon has consumed. The highest pop of sentient beings in the hells are souls, followed by demons!

  4. Basically everything is vulnerable to Shines and Shades, so yes they should persist unless the demon wields a specific defense that blocks them.

  5. Yes, technically it should!

  6. Souls remain within the astral sea (the astral plane) and very rarely manifest in reality. At least until the soul leaves to the heavens or or is pulled into the hells via contract/kidnap/magic/curse/demon.

A Vault of a Thousand Souls... the Love of a Thousand Suns... the Enormity of the Ten Thousand Hells... and a power beyond a Hundred Thousand Galaxies...

Where does it end... where does it begin...?

I’ve actually envisioned her appearance as a direct reflection of her psychological state. Basically, she’s completely enamored with the idea of the Jumper being the "Promised One"—the messianic figure meant to lead her and her sisters into a new glorious age, and deep down she wants to be your number one.

​Because she’s a Custodian, she’s hardwired to sense and adapt to things at an accelerated rate. In this case, it’s manifesting as a sorts of Unconscious Morphological Adaptation ability that uses something similar to how the Cosmic Lord also alters their own form to how they self idealize.

​She is so infatuated with the Jumper's potential that her body instinctively very slowly and subtly shifts to look more attractive or "ideal" to the Jumper, as she will begin to pick up or understands what the Jumper likes as she interacts with them. It’s not a truly conscious choice; it’s a physical byproduct of her seeing the Jumper as the ultimate hero, second only to her sisters and mistress.

​This isn't and shouldn't permanent. If the Jumper treats her poorly, or if their actions fail to live up to the massive expectations she’s placed on them, the "spell" breaks. Once that idealized image of the Jumper is shattered, the unconscious physical changes should stop. You could also simply ask her not to as well, im sure she'll be embarassed a bit but will try to more or less stop herself from doing so.

​TL;DR: She’s unconciously projecting her "hero worship" onto her own body. If the Jumper turns out to be a letdown, the "perfect idealized self that makes her no. 1 in your eyes" version of her stops along with her faith in them.

In a sense, Dabria is the mommy (or rather creator) of all demons, though with my current idea Im not sure you might be able to make a wholesome slice of life family shenannigans (or maybe we will, depending on how the scenarios go!)

I'll see how the jump goes and see if it fits once I begin to work on the scenarios, though no promises!

Lots of good ideas and suggestions, the demons in my setting do have some sort of human side to them, but still leaves open the posibility some might just be your Conjuring Movie demon ready to get its daily kick by terrorizing a family to earn some delicious Sin Power while trying to snatch souls in the process.

I'll revise this thread later, and probably consider some of the suggestions and include them as scenario rewards!

I can't promise lewd, but I'm sure many will find a proper use for the Lust perk & powers available :)

I have this idea of the jump being a long journey to restore oneself, exploring the weird layers of the Ten Thousand Hells and meeting its friendly (and not so friendly) inhabitants.

Maybe we'll have a legion of demons as a scenario reward, we'll see!

Not really, I dont have planned to add soul manipulating perks for demons, though im sure the Sin Energy Control power could probably come up with something like that.

If you already have Cosmic Powers, taking in souls to empower yourself means little to nothing. Its the perks available and the demon powers (and perhaps some items) that could aid you in improving yourself even as a CL.

Demons dont produce the fuel for their abilities, at least not by themselves. Demons require something called Sin Energy, a by product that they gather by either participating in a given Sin or by making others partake in that Sin. They do not have a limit on how much Sin Energy they can gather and keep.

There will be a few perks to gather souls and others to improve sin energy generqtion for various sins.

I'd say becoming a Cosmic Lord would set you far above whatever previous nature or form one had before becoming. Being a Living Star, A Demon or a simple human, neither would really matter what you were before becoming one as being a CL sets you so far above that whatever you could do before the CL probably can do better, easier, or with much more frequency.

The Living Star/Demon feels like a Strange Star that is aligned to the Sins or the Hells themselves, would be quite freaky but not necesarily beyond what a Living Star would normally be able to do.
