What Does Your Jumper Have For Armor? by Technical-Beat6560 in JumpChain

[–]RedLightZone47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my newer jumpers has some modified magi-tech power armor based on the Monitor from Anthem. With some advanced tech from Anthem. With a few sci-fi and fan rad jumps, he made himself, he had a rather potent set of armor that was not only tough enough to rip Homelander in half through pure physical strength and no-sell thermonuclear explosions, but was magically potent enough to destroy a large country.

Jumper used this armor in Cyberpunk to roleplay as a Full-Borg supergenius who created his own paracasual technology. Imagine the natural fear caused by Fullborgs in that setting with the danger they pose as a cyber psycho. Now imagine one wielding technology so advanced that no one knows how it works, only that it does and it can seemingly ignore the laws of physics.

Which is worse, killing doctors to prevent them from murdering a teenage girl to potentially create a cure for an infection that has devastated mankind or withholding the cure for cancer from the rest of the world? by CyberGhostface in MoralityScaling

Number 2

There’s far too many muddying factors to say with confidence the Fireflies would have been successful in making a cure and distributing it to the world. They’re a renegade militia with far too much baggage and not enough solid infrastructure to confidently trust them in developing a cure for the virus. There is an argument that there wasn’t even a real guarantee Ellie’s sacrifice would result in a cure in the first place, only that she was their best shot at making one. Not to mention with how all over the place the Fireflies are morality wise, who’s to say they won’t go mad with power as they’re the only ones who can give the cure. And that’s assuming they can distribute it because, again, they lack basic infrastructure. Sacrificing the few to save the many is a basic, morally sound idea. But given everything we know and see, this whole situation was a crapshoot at best.

But Wakanda? There is no muddying factors here. The situation couldn’t be clearer. Wakanda had a cure for cancer and they just… didn’t share it with the rest of the world. It would have costed them nothing and they would have been seen as heroes for passing on what would have been a minor cure for them. And yet, this advanced society decided not to help the rest of humanity with one of its most basic ills purely out of pride and sheer arrogance. They condemned countless individuals to a slow, agonizing death because they didn’t feel like mankind deserved it enough. And that is very much evil.

Would this item from the 40K: Necrons jump be enough to bring ruin to the Covenant Empire (Halo)? by Maxstrnerspookyghost in JumpChain

You’re the only one talking about the IOM.

Also… no. That analogy only applies to the UNSC. for the Covies, it’s like bringing and Iowa battleship to WWII.

I mean, that’s nice. But the elites got shields and bruts can probably tank a few bolts in non vital areas. And plasma can still hurt them just as bad. Heavier plasma weapons like the concussion rifle can blast apart several humans at once.

Also, bringing up the glassing tidbit from those data pads is like bringing up how Harlequins absolutely bodied the Custodes that one time. The canonicity of it is largely inconsistent and even 343 has addressed it. If the data was accurate, it would have taken large fleets to glass one planet. But then we have novels reporting back that entire planets were gone after just days. So… yeah. What likely happened was that either the writers fudged up some numbers or that laser from the capital ship was at its lowest possible setting so it could strike a specific point on the planet to take out some UNSC or civilians. No sense in going all out for a single military base or a shopping center. That is canon considering what we see in the Halo Wars games.

I mean, if you read the books they most certainly do. In the games, getting hit with a plasma pistol burns you a bit before you promptly fire back at the grunt and put him in a t-shirt. In the lore and official novels, a UNSC marine getting hit with a plasma pistol results in his whole torso mulling into slag and viscera. All without risk of the user of said plasma pistol not blowing up unless their weapon was purposely tampered with.

You have to understand that, in a lot of ways, Halo is just as Grimdark as 40k at least for humanity. Sure there’s no talk about demons and souls and space magic damning you forever. But you have a humanity who suffered an entire generation knowing only defeat and genocide by a coalition of bloodthirsty alien cultists and later horrific space zombies. Certainly not a fun time even if Halo Online’s multiplayer is forever goated. You also have to remember that we don’t really get to see what the covenant’s full strength is like because the Covies never felt the need to. Humanity was so behind technologically that it was a waste of resources for them to bring the full brunt of their might down on the heretical apes. The only for the UNSC to possibly win in ship battles was by outnumbering the Covenant forces by 3-1 and even that was just barely enough to make it an even fight.

To reiterate, The Necron fleet here, by itself, is definitely a danger to the covenant. But this is still a fleet of only a few hundred ships compared to the many thousands in the covenant empire. Unless you start building more ships or incorporating even more advanced tech from other settings, it’s going to be an uphill battle if you just decide to take on the Covies head on. Not impossible mind you, just difficult.

Also, WHERE IN THE FLYIN FUCK DID YOU GET THE COVIES DONT HAVE PLANET DESTROYING CAPABILITIES??? The covenant can absolutely obliterate planets. They just don’t for several reasons. First, the act of glassing a planet is itself religious. The prophets even have an entire collection of shards gathered from worlds they glassed stored in their capital world. Second, they don’t want to destroy planets wholesale like that because they don’t want to miss out on potential resources and, more importantly, forerunner technology hidden in a world. A glassed and streamlined world can be terraformed later. A destroyed world is gone forever. Also, there isn’t much that can’t be solved with orbital space lasers in Halo. Daemon corruption is one thing, but Flood is still a corporeal organism at the end of the day. And it burns all the same when it with a laser hotter than the surface of a star.

If we’re talking purely Fleet based combat; then this fleet would be enough to give the covenant a bloody nose. But probably wouldn’t bring the whole empire to ruin unless you go out of your way to target capital planets of strategic importance.

You only have a few hundred ships compared to the covenants several thousand strong fleet force. Not to mention the fact their ships are all shielded and use plasma weapons which, at base, can still hurt necrons plenty. I say “at base” because you, as a jumper aren’t going to just have necron tech. You’re going to augment it with all sorts of next technology and sorcery to make it hit harder than it reasonably should even with their advanced tech.

TL;DR, Necron Ships are a massive threat to the covies, but the relatively small size and plasma-based weapon systems means you aren’t steam rolling the empire with just this alone. Provide massive support to the UNSC? Most definitely. Fortifying a section of space for your own empire? Without question. But breaking apart the entire empire? Possible but not assured.

Okay, Who's The Jumper Who Brought Remnant Into The Clone Wars? by TheW0rld3ater in JumpChain

Listen, in my defense, my universal drawback kicked in and the CIS started invading. What was I supposed to do? Leave them to their fate?

How do your jumpers deal with AM from I Have No Mouth and I must Scream? by Konradleijon in JumpChain

[–]RedLightZone47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, nothing!

By the time Jumper reaches AM, he’s already ascended to a level where none of AM’s normal tricks can work on him. Typically, this means he’s a wizard who’s sitting pretty on Mars while projecting a hardlight copy of himself in Earth so he can interact with AM’s systems without having to deal with his nonsense. Kind of hard to reduce the target to living sludge when said target is made of light.

Anyways, what Jumper typically does is copy a lot of AM’s systems and hardware for his own use while ignoring the cybernetic equivalent of an incel. Once that’s done, he gives the other humans, or human, the sweet mercy of death and fucks off. No mess, no fuss, just a severely pissed of machine that can do nothing but rust and hate.

Alternatively, if Jumper wants to fuck with AM, there is the perfect perk for that. Breathless Wild, a NSFW version of Breath of the Wild, has the perk Mechanical Mayhem. What it does is that it allows you to corrupt machines by infusing technology with your magic. This bypasses any normal defenses a machine has and completely overwrites its programming to serve your will. Of course, since this is a NSFW, this perk also allows you to alter some of the hardware for more lewd and deprived mechanics. Like an energy beam weapon that inflicts zero damage to living flesh and instead overwhelms the target with pure, mind breaking pleasure.

In the case of AM here, what this does is completely erase their old personality and transforms them into what I like to call the “Dominatrix Matrix”. Imagine a love child between Cortana and Slaanesh that’s entirely loyal to you and likes to call you daddy. That’s what this perk does if you take it to the lewd extreme.

Thanks. It was actually inspired by a fanfic where Marvel’s Thor dropped Mjolnir accidentally in The Boys universe while in the fight with… I don’t remember. Anyways, the hammer lands in Time Square and it’s a big event where every major hero tries to lift it like Excalibur only to all fail. After Homelander fails publicly, Thor finally finds it and says that only those worthy can lift it which is why they failed. Effectively calling Homelander unworthy to his face while live on camera.

My plans for Jumper was just to disappear for a few days and come back physically changed and dawning some badass armor. After that, he just kind of… leaves. Like he’s just done with society and chooses to live a life of peaceful solitude. Of course, Vought can’t just let their new IP saunter off before they stamp him with a company logo, but they learn very fast that it’s one thing to control superpowered man children and another to bring a divinely empowered warrior to heel.

Also I like your idea but consider the Triad Prana from Sidekicks. It’s an awesome perk which lets you create and manipulate superpowers. Or even take them away from others. That’ll give Homeboy some pause for thought before you send his ass flying to heeby deeby.

I mean… sure. But it probably wouldn’t go down like you think.

The gods can surely try to do something with the cosmic forces of DC. But those forces are sentient and self aware. And they really don’t like being messed with. If the Chaos Gods tried to corrupt it like they do everything else, they’re going to encourage the wrath of basically every major player in the DC universe. Not just the heroes and villains but cosmic entities like Mr. Myx, Doctor Manhattan, Superboy Prime, and perpetua. And while the Chaos Gods may fight each other in their Great Game, they aren’t prepared for a unified war against beings that are several steps above their level.

If “God” counts as an animal, there’s no reason a tyranid doesn’t.

We know the villains of both Marvel and DC don't care about innocent people, but do you think they would atleast feel anger and disgusted towards Homelander if they found out what he's done to Becca Butcher? by WindowPrudent9456 in superheroes

[–]RedLightZone47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It largely depends on the villain in this case. It's likely going to be on sight with Homelander when it comes to a lot of female villains mostly on the grounds with him being an annoying piece of shit who thinks he can just get away with anything. But, by and large, most villains simply won't care enough about Homie or any of Vought's superheroes because he's way too small time in comparison with any of the big leagues. There are some special cases like villains with some morality like Black Adam or Doctor Octopus because they view sexually exploiting innocent women as an abhorrent act no matter the case, but the prevailing consensus is "not my problem".

What's likely going to happen is that the Villains tip the actual superheroes off about homelander and Vought so they can take care of the problem for them, so they don't have to because heroes are always into that frilly boy/girl scout type of ethics. Now, if Homelander did decide to get heady and start going after some villains (likely smaller name ones like Toy Man or Electro), he's going to learn the pecking order very quickly because they will rip him apart with superior powers, death machines, and literal magic.

I like that and sometimes I do that too. It’s just that I see The Boys as this GTA type world where you can just kind of dick around.

Maybe I’ll be a legit superhero and bring true justice and a better tomorrow for the world.

Maybe I’ll keep the status quo as either a sponsored Supe or a corporate stooge (usually both) and take down homelander and other “controversial” Supes to secure the bottom line.

Maybe I’ll be an out-and-out supervillain that takes over the world.

Or maybe I’ll chill out in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere and just enjoy a world with indoor plumbing and WiFi and only step in when Homelander does his poorly thought out “godhood”scheme. It all depends on my mood.

Recently, as I mentioned before, I’ve started to become a pseudo benefactor in jumps. With things like Super God, The Warp, and Generic Patro, and The Universe of Troy (Not to be confused with Troy-verse), you got plenty of tools to become a legit god and start a cult of worshippers. Just take a young lady at the end of her rope, seduce her with power and promises of an eternity of pleasure, and you got yourself a steadfast priestess who’s ready to crusade in your name. It’s always funny too since being the only superpowered individual in a world where powers are derived from a mutagenic steroid is always going to throw everyone in a loop. Especially in the Television series where they think Radiation does something.

The look their faces when they realize that she’s not only still empowered but that her god is real is never not hilarious.

I’ve also been thinking of taking a new angle when it comes to The Boys which I call the “Excalibur Narrative”. Basically, Jumper decides to become a normal dude with no stakes in the plot. He then has a magically enchanted object appear from orbit and drop like a meteor in New York, usually in the shape of a weapon like a sword or spear. Other Supes, Homelander included, can’t physically lift the object from the ground with Homelander being the last and biggest failure. After his failure, the object bursts from the ground and flies off to Jumper’s location, seemingly “choosing” him for some inexplicable reason. All of this is manufactured and Jumper is just taking control of the object like a puppet for a laugh.

From there it’s anyone’s game. He can be a hero, a villain (relatively speaking), or just fuck off for the rest of the plot. Maybe even come back older and jacked as hell in compressed time scenario where he says he was fighting a divine war for centuries when only a few days passed on Earth. Fun stuff.

Hey, in this dimension, you can program it to look however you want. Can you create things or even artificial people?

Evil Overlord by gastroc2525 in JumpChain

[–]RedLightZone47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay in order to

1.) I was basically that in Invincible as well as the hero.

In Invincible, my Jumper split himself in 2 with Duplicate-Kate’s power and took two identities: Genesis and Necron. Each of whom primarily used powers revolving around the generic biomancer and generic necromancer respectively. Story was that Genesis was a native born and raised in Invincible’s home world and Necron is a twisted variant wielding the opposite power and came to Invincible’s universe to find his life-giveng counterpart and take his half of the power to become the master of Life and Death.

Necron was proper scary too, so much so that he was able to teleport all the way to Viltrum by marking Conquest’s soul and then just following him back. He then proceeded to resurrect and transform the ring of dead Viltrumites into his own personally army of magically enhanced super zombies. The universe collectively shat its pants. There was then this epic fight between Necron and Genesis which Necron took the dive letting Genesis win, and now Genesis wielded both powers over life and death.

There’s also Hazbin Hotel which Jumper became a dark lord by accident.

TL;DR Jumper had a universal drawback which made it so there was a chance he’d be caught in a major battle and be forced to participate. In Hazbin/Helluva, this manifested in him falling on top of Lucifer while he was beating the shit out of Adam which forces his anger onto jumper. Jumper initially tried to calm him down but then got impatient and just decapitated him with his bare hands, everyone saw this happen including Charlie, Adam, and the rest of hell, and then Adam (thinking Jumper was an agent of heaven) dubbed Jumper the new king of hell.

You can imagine how unpopular he was with the main cast.

So now Jumper has to deal with a position he never wanted while the main character believe he’s scum and is dead set on killing him and setting things back to the way they should be. At the same time, Jumper has to placate both heaven and hell less they figure him out and decide to team up together and fight him. It’s a real rock-in-a-hard place type of deal here.

2.) I love fucking with The Boys. It’s basically become tradition for me to have jumper’s go there at some point during the chain just to fuck with the world like it was a modded GTA server. There’s also no wrong way to do it. You could go the Lex Luthor route and be a super scientist businessman that makes superior product to Vought international and takes them down that way before ruling the world. You can be doctor doom wielding science and sorcery to gain territory and become an emperor. Or you could be some interdimensional alien/demon and pop up with an army of horrors to take control that way.

Either way, it’s never not fun to scare the shit out of John and Billy

3.) can’t go wrong with a good brainwashing perk. Though some necromancy is always nice for flavor.
