Full Altered CYOA Part 1
This chapter is for those who want to play around with their own character builds or those who just want to read the whole CYOA without interruptions.
——————————————————————————
[Victory Conditions]
Regardless of difficulty or choices, you now have a permanent shard of the Root of Reality, and thus by surviving for five years without leaving your chosen reality (time manipulation not counting), something will change, and at any point after that (or when you die) you can reconnect to the kaleidoscope, and gain the permanent ability to journey throughout the myriad realities, within reason. This includes being able to return to your original time and place with all your powers and perks, if you wish to do so.
You can also instead choose to go to another world and survive another five years without leaving in order to gain an additional five to ten points towards gaining more powers. The amount of points you gain is determined by the difficulty you choose, with World Fodder giving the least and World Breaker giving the most. This can be done repeatedly. However, if the world you choose is determined to be too weak for your current strength, you will instead gain only 10-30% of the points. And if the world is one where no one can challenge you, you gain no points.
If you fail to survive in your first world, you will be brought back to your original time and place in the condition you left, without any powers, advantages, or memories. It will be as if the accident never happened.
——————————————————————————
[Power Level - Choose Your Difficulty Mode (Pick 1)]
World Fodder - You start with -5 points, can take up to 10 points from drawbacks, receive no points from the destination, and can only purchase Lesser powers. This is the hardcore difficulty.
World-Survivor - You start with 0 points, can take up to 10 points from drawbacks, receive halved points from the destination (rounded down), and can only purchase Lesser powers. This is the challenging difficulty.
World-Strider - You start with 10 points, can take up to 10 points from the destination and drawbacks, and can only purchase one Greater power while all other powers can only be Lesser. This is the standard difficulty.
World-Changer - You start with 15 points, can take up to 15 points from the destination and drawbacks, and can purchase any Lesser and Greater powers. This is the comfortable difficulty.
World-Breaker - You start with 20 points, can take up to 20 points from the destination and drawbacks, and can purchase any powers, including Supreme powers. This is the god-mode difficulty.
——————————————————————————
[Destination World - Depending on your chosen world's Tonal Alignment, Tech Level (Civilisation Development), Magic Level (Supernatural Presence), Cosmology (World Structure), as well as your Familiarity (World Understanding) and chosen method of Arrival (World Entry), points will be added or subtracted from the base number.]
[Tonal Alignment - Determines the general danger level and the balance between 'peace' and 'disaster'.]
Peaceful (-2) — A world without significant threats or large-scale disasters. Matches to the setting of most 'slice-of-life' style worlds. The problems are often interpersonal or personal ones, and the structure of society is comfortably safe and virtuous.
Noblebright (-1) — A world with some danger, but within which good will generally triumph over evil, and where peaceful intentions, heroics, and human decency can have lasting positive impact. True horrors and disasters are rare, if they exist at all. The line between good and evil is rarely, if ever, blurred, most people are decent, and society as a whole is positive and worth saving.
Neutral (0) — A world with no significant inclination for either good or ill. There will be both good and evil in equal measure, and danger will happen at random. Similar to your origin, Earth, virtue and honor are often unrewarded, and deception and cruelty aren't always punished. A world with no clear theme but varied possibilities, whose variance reflects reality in more ways than one.
Shaded (+2) — A world in which trauma, suffering, or death are presented as the norm and life is often uncaring and unforgiving. Terms such as 'dark', 'gray', or 'grim' are apt. Any significant good will often be linked to some sort of sacrifice or sorrow, good acts and intentions often have negative consequences, and morality is complex. Usually, people and society are corrupt or "bad" and in need of deep change.
Grimdark (+3) — A world that is actively undergoing some sort of widespread catastrophe. Alien invasion, nuclear war, natural disasters, and the like will be happening nigh-constantly, shattering what little status quo is able to form. Death, danger, corruption, and the like presses in from every direction, as things tend to just get worse regardless of effort. Very few verses are like this, and for good reason.
=========
[Tech Level (Civilisation Development) - Determines the level of sophistication and technology that is available in this world. Note that with higher levels of magic (selected below), the technologies listed can be potentially based on the supernatural rather than science.]
Medieval (+2) — A world with a level of technology equivalent to, at most, the era of knights and castles. Swords, sailing ships, and horse riding are the maximum level of technology.
Pre-industrial/Industrial/Steampunk (+1) — A world with a level of technology just prior to, at, or is like the level of the industrial revolution. Steam engines, cannons, and the like are the general level of technology. Steampunk also applies to this category.
Modern (0) — A world that has a level of technology equivalent to modern-day earth.
Near Future (+1) — A world with a level of technology equivalent to predictions of the near future. One or more of the following likely exists in a practical form: cybernetic implants, artificial intelligence, holograms, hover cars, full-dive VR, or gene-mods.
Spacefaring (+2) — A world with a level of technology that would allow for travel to and colonization of distant planets. Does not strictly require spaceflight to be in use, but technology must be equivalent. One or more of the following likely exists in a practical form: matter teleportation, force fields, nano-printing, FTL travel.
========
[Magic Level (Supernatural Presence) - Determines the level of magic or other supernatural phenomena that are available in this world.]
None (0) — Magic and the supernatural are considered nothing more than myths. You will be one of, if not the only, source of supernatural power in this world.
Low (+1) — Magic and the supernatural tend to be subtle with fairly minor effects. Rituals to improve blacksmithing, for example. Any significant magical effects are usually ascribed to some distant period of high magic. With the World-Survivor option, your power will be significantly above the norm here.
Moderate (+2) — Magic and the supernatural are fairly commonplace. Levels of personal power will vary, but, as an example, a single well-trained war mage would be the equivalent of several dozen ordinary soldiers. With the World-Survivor option, your power will be above average, but extraordinary examples will exist that outshine you in one or more areas.
High (+3) — Magic and the supernatural are common, with significant powerful effects being widespread. Flying cities, mountain ranges turned into massive walls, conjuring armies of magical golems, etc., are presented as examples of semi-common feats. With the World-Survivor option, your power may not even be notable and will probably be overshadowed.
=========
[Cosmology (World Structure) - Determines the general shape of the cosmos surrounding the world that you have entered. Higher point options can have aspects of lower options but only pick one.]
Planets and Stars (0) — A proper planet, orbiting around a star, with other planets and stars scattered around throughout space.
Side Realms (+1) — 'Planets & Stars', but with side realms / sub-dimensions added, such as physical afterlives, elemental realms, faerie worlds, heaven and hell, or other such realms.
Multiverse (+2) — 'Planets & Stars', but with an entire micro-multiverse, containing a finite number of alternate timelines or worlds, as well as spaces between them.
Xianxia Ladder (+3) — 'Planets & Stars', but contained within a 'ladder' of stronger and weaker realms or levels that can be ascended to or descended from. The levels of technology and magical power will reflect in the level you are initially within, but can be outstripped in higher levels or shrunk at lower levels.
=========
[Arrival (World Entry) - Determines the circumstances of your arrival in this new world.]
Reincarnation (-1) — You will fuse with a version of yourself that existed in this world prior to your arrival, usually as a child but possibly older. That version of yourself will have memories and a past within this world, and their actions and choices will have reflected the same values and desires you currently have. This version of yourself may or may not look like you. For +1 point, you don't have the memories of this version of yourself if it's an older version.
Subtle (0) — You will arrive in the world as you are, possibly naked, possibly just out of the shower, or possibly with only the clothes you have and a few items you could gather before making the transition. Your arrival will be unheralded and unnoticed by any who weren't present to see it, in a discreet location, like an alleyway or in the woods.
Dramatic (+1) — You will arrive in the world in an extremely dramatic fashion, such as with a massive pillar of light shooting down from the sky, or a tremendous psychic shockwave echoing from your arrival point. Many significant entities will be aware of your arrival and the point where you emerged.
=========
[Familiarity (World Understanding) - Determines how familiar you are with the world that you have appeared in.]
Recognised (-2) — The world is actually reflective of a work of fiction that you are familiar with. The general structure of the work may have been altered to match your other choices here, but enough of the pertinent details will remain the same to give you a fairly significant advantage. Any Verse presented by an author from your Earth, and then comprehensible by a substantial enough portion of the population, exists within your 'local' branch of reality.
Familiar (0) — The world will have many familiar elements, such as a history close to your own world or a language that matches the one you speak. The structure may also match stories and tropes you are familiar with, even if the actual details do not match any story you know.
Unfamiliar (+1) — The world will be unfamiliar to you in all but the most general aspects, with languages that you can't speak, customs that may seem strange, or a foreign history. If you have chosen to be reincarnated, there will be a disconnect between you and your new memories, and some of them will be scrambled.
Alien (+2) — The world will be completely foreign to you. At best, the beings inhabiting it may still be humanoid, but even that may not be true. The values, history, and general structure are all completely bizarre to you. Even if you reincarnated, your memories will be extremely jumbled, giving only a small bit of the 'common sense of your new world to you.
=========
Your Example Destinations:

——————————————————————————
——————————————————————————
[Drawbacks - Pick any number from each category, but unless otherwise stated, each can only be taken once, and doesn't expire until the Victory Condition.]
[Mutations - These alter your body and cannot be removed except by the victory condition.]
Mutation (+1-+3) — You look non-human and there's no way to hide it. There are degrees of severity concerning mutations. You can take a maximum of two deformed or one monstrous. Deformed: (+1 point) Your mutations are minor, like glowing eyes or small horns on your head. There are always some external indicators and there is little to no physical benefit. Monstrous: (+3 points) Your mutations are major, either affecting your whole body, or most of it. Examples include a slug like the lower half, a missing head, or a torso made of wood. You can try to make yourself look human with powers, but the result is usually disturbing.
Danger Beacon (+2) — You will attract unwanted attention and dangerous entities wherever you go. As you unwillingly and unknowingly spark out random waves of energy that highly tuned instruments looking for these distortions, certain powers, anomalous monsters, powerful magi, and cosmic beings such as gods can detect. The ripples spike most when you enter a verse or fully use your powers. While these entities might not be able to track your position, they can sense your approximate area and will understand your potential danger.
Hibernation Curse (+2) — You are intermittently forced into a deep sleep during which you will be vulnerable and face nightmares. You cannot be woken up and will be unable to use your powers. The bouts of sleep will occur at least once every month, and the sleep lasts for at least two days. However, using your powers more intensively will increase their frequency and length of sleep while causing your sleep to be plagued with nightmares. You will only know when your sleep will occur a few hours before it begins.
Age Locked (+1) — You are aged or de-aged to a specific extreme and can't age yourself up or down with powers. You can only pick one of the following. Pint-sized: You're a kid, (6-10) years old. No one takes you seriously, and your normal physical abilities are quite-limited. Even Powers can only help so much. You'll grow up, eventually. Elderly: You're a senior citizen and you look the part (65+) years old. Regardless of your powers, you will feel the effects of your age as if you did not have powers, and your normal physical abilities are quite-limited.
=========
[Restrictions - These are psychological limitations and action restrictions. Each of them will bind you for a length of time or until some action is complete. These cannot be removed except by the victory condition.]
Conflict Drive (+2) — This will cause your mind to desire for and pursue conflict. This usually results in you trying to solve things with direct confrontation or violence, even if there might be other safer or less direct ways of solving an issue. This does not have to be physical conflict, if you're the armchair general type, intense strategic planning where a miscalculation means death will satisfy you. This isn't overwhelming, but will influence things like your first instincts to be diplomatic or attack but also fight-or-flight responses. If you weren't told about it, you probably wouldn't notice. This is also something that cannot be mitigated simply with willpower or mind alteration. When you don't engage in conflict every once in a while by forcefully repressing yourself, you will begin to feel depressed, manic, and or agitated, and then your powers will begin to weaken and malfunction.
=========
Geass (+2-+3 points (Can be taken multiple times to a maximum of +5 points)) — You are restricted by a simple code of conduct, consisting of two or three rules. This is either a psychological limitation you cannot overcome or you face intense pain, then injury, and eventual death for not following it. Minor Geasa that are rarely inconvenient give only +2 points, Major Geass that are completely life limiting and frequently affecting give +3 points.
Role Playing (+3): You must act, think, and look the part of a specific character, organization, or set of tropes such as 'Batman', 'Team Rocket', or 'The Mysterious, Powerful, and Wise Mentor'.
Still Tongue (+2): You are restricted from being able to speak. Alternatively, you can speak, but it causes intense pain in yourself and any others who hear it.
Truthspeaker (+2): You are forbidden from knowingly telling any falsehood for the duration of this mission. A 'technical truth' or a 'lie of omission' is permitted, so long as you do not actually speak a falsehood to set them up. This restriction extends to writing, sign language, telepathy, and any other direct form of communication.
Empty Hands (+2): You are restricted from using any tools or weapons that are not crafted with or generated by your powers.
Unwilling Hero (+2): "Do not harm the innocent or allow them to come to harm. "
Homebound (+2): "Do not leave a specific location or place such as a city, mountain, or town."
Law Abiding (+2): "Do not disobey lawful authority, and follow the laws of any place."
Compulsion (+2): You must attain and maintain something like popularity, a secret identity, or a large territory and respond hardly to any attempt on it or challenge to it.
Mystic Mentor (+2): "You must teach your discipline to others" there is a quota per year.
Absolute Fealty (+3) — You gain awareness of a random individual, most likely a total stranger, and you must obey any and all commands that this person gives you faithfully, and you cannot either harm them or allow them to come to harm via action or inaction. Some tasks they ask of you may be distasteful or degrading, but none can be intended to cause you direct, permanent harm. You will always be aware of the commands they give, even if you are separated from them, and they're both aware that you exist, that you have powers, and that you must obey their commands.
=========
[Situations - These will restrict your choices or alter the parameters of your situation.]
Type-Lock or Spread Thin (Both +1) — Type-Lock: Choose body powers, discipline powers, or item powers. You can only select powers from that section. Spread Thin: Alternatively, you can only take a maximum of one power from each section.
Bravely Default (+1) — You cannot select any perks (for example mastery meditation or adaptation), nor can you select any of the optional modifiers within powers (for example -2 points to remove the kryptonite weakness of the Kryptonian option)
Long Stay (+1 - +2) — You have to survive for longer before you gain the victory condition (50 years), and during that time you cannot leave the world in any way, alternatively you are required to survive longer (1000 years) for another +1 point.
Trigger Event (+2 - +4) — Initially, roughly half of your powers will be locked, and they will be gradually unlocked upon encountering or surviving sufficiently dangerous, traumatizing, or damaging experiences. Such moments cannot be manufactured. For another +2 point, all your powers are initially locked and will all be unlocked in this same way.
Without a Map (+1(Cannot take Subtle Arrival)) — Upon arrival, your placement is somewhere actively dangerous at one of the worst moments possible, such as an apocalyptic war zone of archmages or a maximum security prison for super powered individuals.
Unknown Self (+1) — You irrevocably forget who you were before the Verse crossing. Your memories, even your name, are lost. Only habits, languages, skills, and practical knowledge is retained. Items you bring with you are scrubbed of info about your past.
Unknown Choices (+1) — You forget all your choices, and will have to discover your destination, drawbacks, and what powers you have through accident or trial and error. You might not even be aware of the kaleidoscope.
Unknown World (+2 (Requires Recognised)) — All prior knowledge of the Verse is irrevocably destroyed. Any information about it in any other form you could take with you, such as items, is erased. Alternate means to gain information also fail.
——————————————————————————
[Combined Synergies: All powers and perks at the very least stack, for example multiple sources of enhanced strength such as from the Supersoldier and Spiderman powers don't result in diminishing returns but at minimum add on top. Special synergies and interactions with output compounding, multiplicative, growth-accelerating, and or weakness-removing effects are also possible. This is most often seen in powers that are both rooted in the same source (serums/injections, the soul, martial arts, mana, ki etc), function (spell casting, crafting, manipulating a unique energy/matter etc), or end effect (superstrength and enhanced body density, future sight and true sight, etc).]
——————————————————————————
[Body Powers - You gain the unique genetics/procedure/condition of your chosen powers listed below. Depending on the power, your abilities may or may not grow with time, study, practice, conflict, etc. Your power cannot be reproduced, reverse engineered, or copied, as others will lack the unique kaleidoscopic connection you have and also be unable to sense or affect this connection, let alone replicate it. Powers that are explicitly reliant on forces that are not present in worlds you journey to still work regularly, but will be somewhat susceptible to associated external influence. If you don't recognize a power, and or the description isn't enough, then feel free to gain more context on what the power can or cannot do by asking.]
==========
Local Destination Powers | -2 points | Lesser |
This power gives you the guaranteed ability to develop in-universe powers, whether its magic, ki, or the local brand of superpower. That's it though. You will start from zero, having to use in universe techniques to gain and train your power. And while this gives you whatever you need to be able to use those in universe powers, you'll be limited to the average strength of these powers. The powers you develop will not be affected by any protections you have, but will become protected when you leave the world. You can also teach what you've gained to others in other worlds like a Discipline Power, given it can be taught. Mastery Meditation or Supply Drops purchased for this power will instead affect the first power developed/learned.
Without this power, it is pure chance that you can develop a power from the world you go to.
-3 | you become proficient in the local power system, equivalent to someone who has trained in it for 5 years, along with the knowledge of how to efficiently grow your power, if possible. If there are multiple local powers, or if the powers have specialties / individual in nature, choose one when purchasing this. The chosen power can't be stronger than other lesser powers to start out with.
[Greater] -4 | your powers now have the potential to be among some of the best in the world, maybe the best. The previous option is also expanded so that it can equal to greater powers in starting strength.
==========
Super Soldier Serum | Marvel | -2 points | Lesser |
You become a super soldier similar to Steve Rogers having undergone the Erskine Procedure, giving you an enhanced body and mind surpassing the perfected peak of your species, practically making you superhuman. The procedure cures any previous ailments you had and causes your physical appearance to be changed into the best possible version of yourself with an olympian physique fit for every sport. This lets you process information at blinding speeds, grants you an accelerated learning aptitude, enhances your reflexes, enhances metabolism, grants perfect resistance to toxins and pathogens, increases muscle and bone density, maximizes healing, alters your biology, and augments the effects of dopamine, testosterone, adrenaline, and various other endorphins and hormones to beyond the peak of human efficiency in order to further amplify physical and mental performance. You have no recovery period, meaning you can exert yourself at peak performance for hours without fatiguing. Altogether, you are capable of tossing large trees over your head, outpacing vehicles, running down motorbikes on foot, and more. The serum will not have any negative effects on your mind.
==========
Spider Physiology | Spider-Man (Marvel) | -3 points | Lesser |
You gain the proportionate powers of a spider, including numerous mutagenic enhancements, such as their proportionate physical prowess, spider-sense, and wall-crawling. This grants superhuman strength, speed, durability, reflexes, agility, stamina, equilibrium, immune system, and healing. You now possess a set of enhanced and newfound senses that are so sharp and coordinate so well that they are effectively a precognitive danger sense which warns you of potential or immediate danger by the manifestation of a tingling sensation in the back of your skull, and links with your superhuman kinesthetics, enabling you to evade most any attack or accident. You can also stick to objects by controlling the flux of electrostatic force between molecular boundary layers with an upper limit of several tons per finger.
-1 | a pair of new spider traits like electro-shock and camouflage, or claws and organic webbing.
-1 | for innate science skill and understanding in regards to webbing, web-shooters, etc.
==========
Heart Shaped Herb | Marvel | -2 points | Lesser |
You have consumed the vibranium-irradiated plant known as the Heart-shaped herb. Granting strength, agility, resilience, and endurance on par with other kinds of super soldiers, but uniquely granting vastly heightened awareness, coordination, reflexes, and balance far beyond Olympic athletes, gaining natural athletic instincts and reactions similar to the innate grace of a feline to, for example, always land on your feet. You can effortlessly lift a person with one hand, outrun a sprinting zebra, or survive most mundane explosions with minor injuries. Under special circumstances, you can commune with the astral plane and thereby the dead.
-1 | for the black panther suit, the Panther Habit, composed of vibranium that can absorb and release kinetic energy and can be retracted into a necklace.
==========
Radioactively Enhanced Physiology and Daredevil Senses | Marvel | -2 points | Lesser |
Similar to the accident Matt Murdock experienced, your non-sight senses have been enhanced to superhuman levels. Granting you detailed sonar-like perception in a wide range and making you extremely alert to danger, nearly rivaling spider-man. Your hearing is now sharper than a bat, allowing you to detect lies, use echolocation, and clearly hear conversations, heartbeats, and breaths multiple meters away. Your smell can perfectly diagnose things like lung cancer, or track someone based on the smell of their blood. Your taste can detect traces of poisonous elements in the air. Your touch can feel the presence of those around you through vibrations, electroreception, temperature variation, and miniscule changes in air currents or density. Your physical prowess affected by your senses is also enhanced, such as granting superhuman reflexes, balance, direction, equilibrium, coordination, dexterity, and agility, resulting in high levels of acrobatic and gymnastic ability.
Actual Blindness is optional.
==========
Burnstein Treatment | Marvel | -3 points | Lesser |
Similar to Luke Cage, you have undergone an experiment and come out with heightened physical prowess comparable to a supersoldier and truly superhuman strength and durability far beyond human physiology. You have extremely durable bulletproof skin, and to a slightly lesser extent, overall anatomy, allowing you to remain unharmed after a point-blank explosion from an M67 grenade, an entire building falling on you, falling from a height of ninety stories high, extreme temperatures and electrical shocks, and destructive energy attacks. Your skin has a tensile strength comparable to carbyne. Your strength allows you to, with little effort, lift and throw large bulldozers, carry trucks across multiple city blocks, punch through barriers as thick as 4-inch steel plates, break guns in your hands, and create thunderclaps. Your other traits are also enhanced to beyond human limits like a supersoldier, with enhanced speed, agility, jump height, stamina, reflexes and a healing factor that can heal internal injuries such as lethal brain damage in a few hours.
==========
Pyrokinetic | Fire Force | -3 points | Lesser |
You become a Third Generation pyrokinetic, awakening the ability to generate flames, and use them in a unique way; while also sporting higher physical capabilities, being more resilient to damage, and a natural immunity to flames and being burned. However, unlike Second Generation pyrokinetics, you cannot manipulate already existing flames. An Ignition Ability is the unique way in which you use your ability to create flames, such as by generating flames from certain body parts, utilizing your flames in conjunction with a certain type of object, and/or utilizing special variants of fire.
Ignition Abilities partially fuel their abilities from the oxygen in the user's body. Once considerably used, you cannot use your Ignition Abilities until you've regathered more. When you overexert your Ignition Ability, it can cause overheating, being out of breath, and severe dehydration. On purchase, you gain an ignition ability of your own and the other pyrokinetic physical boosts.
-1 | you are both a third and second generation pyrokinetic.
-1 | for additional pyrokinetic skills such as Arthur's plasma blade, or heat induced magnetism. If you purchased both generations, then you can purchase skills like trajectory control.
=========
Ajin | Ajin | -3 points | Lesser |
You become an Ajin, as such you generate endless IBM (Invisible Black Matter) within you, making you effectively immortal as upon death it rapidly replaces lost matter, tissue, and nutrients while reforming your body and mind and erasing any obstructions. You are unable to die under any circumstances, including being completely crushed, decapitated, or even due to malnutrition. An Ajin's body will always return to its original state, no matter the situation.
An Ajin's wounds begin healing immediately after a revival and it only takes a few seconds. However, they only begin to heal after dying, or "resetting", otherwise their injuries will not heal immediately and will only heal at a natural rate. An Ajin uses the largest piece of flesh as a base and collects the smaller pieces for regeneration; pieces that are too far away are not collected, but replaced. Ajin can also use a paralyzing scream that seizes the nervous system, paralyzing everyone in their immediate vicinity. On purchase, you gain the traits of an Ajin. For another point, you have a Black Ghost.
-1 | for a Black Ghost you can customize.
========
Conduit Gene | InFamous | -3 points | Lesser |
You become a "prime conduit", a sub-species of humans who possess superhuman abilities afforded to them by the presence of the "Conduit Gene". Conduit abilities provided by this are the elemental variant, which come in the form of the manipulation of certain forms of energy or matter such as electricity, ice, napalm, smoke, neon, concrete, glass, acid, vines, vibrations, etc. A given conduit power can be applied with extreme versatility in regards to its given element/ energy/matter, such as absorbing it, releasing it, controlling it, sensing it, becoming it, etc. Over time, you can develop more and more ingenious applications of your abilities. This is accelerated by active conflict similar to discipline powers.
Aside from the unique superhuman abilities granted, as a byproduct of the protein compound it releases throughout its host's body, prime conduits have an additional set of abilities as part of the molecular restructuring process they undergo. You have enhanced strength, speed, agility, durability, endurance, a healing factor, and basic contact limited particle charge manipulation to perform greater physical feats than the super soldier option. Some other possible enhancements include enhanced senses, or other physical and mental enhancements, depending on the given conduit.
-1 | one additional 'element'. Only one element at a time. Switch elements by absorbing energy from the relevant power source. For example, if you have napalm active but want to use concrete, you must absorb concrete to replace it.
=========
Divine Visual Organs | Kekkai Sensen | -4 points | Lesser |
You gain a set of Divine Visual Organs, known as the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods. You can see the 'The Truth' of the world, therefore you cannot be fooled by any kind of visual illusion, slight altering effect, disguise, stealth, or transformation, even if they are magical in origin or otherwise. You can see the 'auras of any being, to learn the true name of a being, track them, or assess their condition. You gain beyond exceptional eyesight, allowing you to see a person from great distances with perfect detail, lice on a baby's head, and fast movements normally impossible for human eyes to follow.
Other abilities you can develop include total control over the vision of those around you, despite the targets having no actual visual organs, including mechanical ones, like cameras; seeing what others are seeing, and witnessing past events that they have seen; switching the field of vision of two individuals, and creating powerful hallucinations/visual illusions, or causing an overload of information damaging the eyes of others. There might be other abilities for you to discover and develop, like x-ray vision or future sight. Overusing the Eyes' abilities will damage them, making them temporarily lose their abilities from the overheat and eventually crack. However, if left unused, the eyes will repair themselves. Over time, the limit will increase. On purchase, either you are implanted with these eyes or your current eyes gain their traits.
=========
Shard Power | Worm & Ward | -3 points | Lesser |
You gain a corona pollentia, and a shard, as such you are a parahuman. You can select any 'average' canon parahuman powerset from a natural non 'aberrant' (No Ashbeast, Sleeper, Butcher etc) trigger that has not been second triggered. Examples include Laserdream for Blasters, Aegis for Brutes, and Techton for Tinkers. You also have none of the mental disadvantages parahumans usually suffer, lastly your shard has never-ending energy, but only within the limits of the original powerset.
Once bought, these powers cannot be changed and can only grow stronger within the parameters of the shard acknowledging its host in conflict and therefore easing restrictions, but this has a limit. If World-strider or higher you can use your singular greater power and for -3 you can either select a dead shard such as Path to Victory or Eidolon, alternatively for -3 you can select second triggered powers like Glastig Uaine. The only exception is Skitter's bug control and enhanced multitasking that you can purchase with the base option of -3 points.
[Greater] -3 | you can select eden shards, 'aberrant' triggers, or second trigger power sets.
[Greater] -3 | to "jailbreak" or second trigger a powerset modifying it or making it more powerful or remove the Tinker Blackbox.
=========
EVO Nanites | Generator Rex | -3 points | Lesser |
Hyper-advanced Nanites bond with you on a molecular level, transforming you into an EVO (Exponentially Variegated Organism). You can control these nanites at will, resulting in no unwanted side effects, but they passively provide you with a healing factor that is adaptable, able to neutralize poisons, toxins, and disease. For example, restarting your heart. You can also use your nanites to communicate with, analyze, and control technology. This technopathy interfaces best on contact.
Your Nanites will not spread beyond your body, self-replicate only as needed to maintain your powers, adapt to counteract any foreign control or hacking, and will react explosively to any attempt to reverse engineer them. On purchase you have no other special nanite abilities, but with exposure to extreme physical stress and or advanced technology you can further enhance your physical capabilities eventually to superhuman strength, durability, speed, stamina, reflexes, and agility (slightly below the Super Soldier option) as well as minor resistance to various threats due to your nanites adapting you.
-1 | for the chance to develop a nanite based special ability that exhausts you physically to use, such as sonic blasts, or portal creation alternatively for the same price select Machine Manifestation like Rex Salazar.
-1 | on physical contact with a person, you can temporarily imbue your nanites to heal, revert, or optimize wounds, diseases, & mutations or fix malfunctioning biological/mechanical powers.
=========
Symbiote | Marvel | -3 points | Lesser |

There are other uses for a symbiote and it can potentially gain new powers tinder the right circumstances.
However, it has a psychological weakness of extreme noises and fire. It also needs a unique supply of food, being phenethylamine, adrenaline, and other hormones. Phenethylamine can be found in both chocolate and human brains. It will also need to consume other things, or you'll need to increase your caloric intake in order to produce the necessary biomass to create its tendrils and if it loses pieces of itself. They will never seek to leave your side or betray you, unless it is trying to protect you or you ask them to. You may choose what kind of personality your Symbiote has to best suit you or have it naturally develop based on your own.

There are three types that all fruits fit into, Paramecia, which are Super Powers, Zoans which are Animal Transformations, and Logias which are Elemental Body Transformations. Unfortunately, the price of eating one of these is the loss of your ability to swim as you grow weak when submerged in any body of water bigger than a bathtub and sink like a stone.

You gain the durability to tank these feats. At your full speed, you could create shockwaves strong enough to create deep cuts on anyone close enough.
With training, you could react fast enough to dodge lightning bolts. Your sense of smell is strong enough for you to track people and detect traps by scent alone, and your touch and sight are similarly superior. You can also shout incredibly loudly to stun foes.

All ghost powers draw on the user's energy reserves, akin to an Ecto-Pool. Because ghosts are basically living ectoplasm, using too much energy can end with Half-ghosts reverting back into their human selves as they pass out.
In your ghost form you have the potential for superhuman strength, durability, stamina, speed, flight, invisibility, energy blasts or waves, energy constructs, energy infused blows, possession (overshadowing), interaction with other ghosts/incorporeal entities, duplicate creation, observing and influencing dreams, breathing underwater, resisting the vacuum of space, and having a healing factor.

You can gain mastery of any discipline and its basic uses in roughly two decades if you study and practice while fully avoiding conflict and much sooner if you don't, or depending on the discipline.
You can teach others any discipline you know, and your abilities cannot be learned, reproduced, reverse engineered, or copied without your attention, teaching, and willingness. The time and difficulty to teach powers is roughly based on their point cost. Powers that are explicitly reliant on forces that are not present in worlds you journey to still work regularly, but will be somewhat susceptible to associated external influence. If you don't recognize a power, and or the description isn't enough, then feel free to gain more context on what the power can or cannot do by asking.]

Spiral Energy | Gurren Lagann | -10 points | Supreme |
You are a Spiral entity, and can thereby wield Spiral energy, the boundless energy of evolution itself. Spiral Power is produced by the energy generated by gametogenesis in living creatures to keep evolution moving forward. Spiral Power amplifies a spiral person's potential infinitely. It has both infinite potential and applications - it has been known to regenerate and grow new parts on machines to a universal and multiversal scale, and even create tunnels through spacetime. One of its most prevalent applications in the series is in weaponry. It can also be applied to increase one's lifespan, and revive the dead among many other uses. In a raw sense it is an endlessly renewable and infinitely increasing source of energy that itself has boundless potential. The only limitation on spiral energy is your mindset to apply it and the stimulus you are exposed to, pushing you to go beyond your limits from a mere nanosecond ago to an exponential degree, like a logarithmic spiral in terms of intensity and versatility.
On purchase you begin with the same spiral access as simone during the first arc of the series.
