Inactive [LP CYOA] Overlord

[Elfberserker]

hmmm.
Either angel or demon king takes it for me.

Demon kings special ability suits our scholarly side of our character, but angel's special ability seems to be natural choice for our laziness.
I think I go for demon lord, so nobody can fool our ous by being hot women by using shape changing spell.

So, basically, a blank slate option that works just as well as with any other character. Fair enough.
There's one option that's not getting a spotlight here:

B. A burning heat rises in your body as your skin hardens into scales. You start to take on the aspect of a dragon.

Lv. 1 Dragonlord

Vitality: B
Mana: C
Physical Attack: B
Physical Defense: B
Magical Attack: C
Magical Defense: B
Agility: C
Charisma: C

Abilities:
Dragonheart
The sturdy scales covering your body can be further reinforced temporarily in battle by strengthening the flames in your dragon's heart.

Moderate increase: Physical Defense, Magical Defense

Considering our character's personality and profile:

DDC? The Slacker Pervert: You like women, you like money, you like success, but more than anything else, you like to expend effort thinking up ways to get all the lovely things you like without effort. They call you the most hardworking lazy scholar in the academy, but you prefer to think of it as minimizing effort in the long term.

The Dragon is the aspect for our character. All we want to do is have a massive hoard of wealth, power and women and just slack off with it until either our Overlady prods us into action or some idiotic hero starts poking us with a toothpick while we sleep. Then, we eat him.

 

[Nevill]

I think I go for demon lord, so nobody can fool our ous by being hot women by using shape changing spell.

A 'tranny alert' special ability. Handy on the 'Dex.

No more Bai Juitians, either!

Well, it's DEMONZ SLIMEZ vs ANGELZ then.

Nephilim?

So, basically, a blank slate option that works just as well as with any other character. Fair enough.

Depends on what you are referring to.

A character with less reluctance wouldn't have appreciated being left alone so much. A character with less leechery in them wouldn't have considered abandoning everything for the titties to become the Demon Lord's heir and might not have lusted after the princess, which kind of affects our preferences still.

Other characters would not have made the choices we've made and would have different reasons to choose whatever they would.

So, no, it isn't a blank state. We still have pre-defined motivations and inclinations.

 

[Baltika9]

Well, what are our motivations as a fallen angel? You said it was all about having a blank slate with heaven and doing as we wish. Which is what the other options are all about too, we are not beholden to anyone anymore, no matter what we choose. So either the Angel (and every other class, for that matter) is a blank slate like everyone else and we should just shut up and pick which option we like best; or he is a separate character with an individual motivation that differentiates him from everyone else.

So what is your concept of a Fallen Angel?

I think I have summed it up. All we wanted a freedom to choose. Choose slacking off, if needs be. Or lust after a cute daemonette. But this freedom was never granted to us - worse yet, we had it, but it was taken away. A destiny of a Hero was forced upon us.

We broke free, losing much in the process. We went against the Heavenly desires, defied their will, and paid the price. Now we can do whatever the hell we want again.

It does not go much farther than this.

So, which is it?

 

[Elfberserker]

Well dragon lord would fit with our reclusiviness and hoarding aspect of our character. It also has respectable charisma with C and second biggest cock in the ranking, but angel and demons are better at collecting harem members with that magnifice B class charisma.
Sadly it has no votes, otherwise I might be tempted to vote it.

aaah, fuck it.
Flopping to B>D

Vote for DragonLord codexians!
For it's vote for hoarder of gold, booze and Women!

:kwafuckyeah:

 

[Nevill]

Well, what are our motivations as a fallen angel?

Well, of course!

Spoiler

But I am talking less of our current goals - of which we know nothing yet - and more about the road that led us here.

A Grim Mercenary wouldn't have a reason to rebel. A paladin wouldn't even have such a choice. But we had, and we did. That is what separates us from other characters and makes the choice meaningful, rather than the one that "works just as well as with any other character". That is what I am taking offense with.

Being the 'blank' is the point of the character who has terminated his fate. He made a sacrifice for that end.

That is pretty different from 'everyone else', if you are willing to accept that as a motivation.

But it is stupid to talk about motivations just yet. What is a motivation of a slime or a beast? You don't know what you've become or where you ended up, and yet you are talking about a motive to do things... but do what, exactly?

For the moment, our motivations are set to what they were when we picked the hero, though our experience may alter them a bit.

 

[Baltika9]

So why Angel>everyone else? I'm sold on the demon, dragon, lich and baby because I can see us as them. I can't see us as an angel.

 

[Nevill]

I can't see us as an angel.

Your loss, then. I have explained myself the best I could.

lich

Yeah, become an impotent lich after passing the ultimate necromancy spell and sacrificing everything for pussy. Such motivation!

 

[Elfberserker]

Well...Codex has long and established tradition for trolling itself.

Anyway.
How long has it been that last time when dragons have beem overlords codexian!
Don't be such pussy mainstream plebs with your demons and edgy angel overlords, but choose magnifice noble dragon edition!

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

It's the hidden Rance option.

All of the options are the hidden Rance option, even the baby.

even the dickless lich?

So why Angel>everyone else? I'm sold on the demon, dragon, lich and baby because I can see us as them. I can't see us as an angel.

Dude, you fail to see the obvious benefits:

"make love to you?! That'd be wrong!"
"Nah, it'd be ok. Trust me, I'm an angel." *points to halo*
"Oh, ok then!"

"so you are saying that if we give you control of the kingdom, you won't enslave all of our daughters in your harem?"
"Of course. Trust me, I'm an angel." *points to halo*
"Oh, ok then!"

"We are here to slay you, you vile beast!"
"Umm..."
"Wait. We thought there was a demon lord here!"
"Nope, I'm an angel." *points to halo*
"Oh, sorry. We'll just leave now..."

 

[Grimgravy]

I'll flop to Dragon>Demon>Baby. I do like the idea of swimming through piles of gold Scrooge McDuck of Duck Tales stye. B>D>G

 

[profreshinal]

I can't vote for anything but the tentacle option
Fight against solid oppression

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

"Kyle. Kyle Theseon!"
"Oh, my! An angel!"
"Kyle, you have been chosen!"
"Chosen, my lord?"
"Yes, I have a mission of great importance from your deities!"
"Anything, my lord!"
"Go, coat yourself in feces and stand outside the city. It will be a sign for them that they have departed from the true way."
"Wut?"
"Do you disobey your dieties?!"
"N-no, of course not. Just let me get some feces and--"
"Smelly feces."
"Of course, smelly feces and then I'll go outside of the city."

Later...

"Haha, mommy look at the poop covered homeless man."
"My people, you have departed from the true way!"
"*psst* Kyle."
"Yes, my lord!"
"My dick is still bigger."
"Fuuuuuuuuuuu--"


edit:
flopping my vote to VAMP>E>D>B>F

 

[Rex Feral]

E for me.

If we're gonna be evil, we could at least be an angel otherwise we're gonna inevitably go to "MWAHAHAHA, MY EVIL PLAN IS COMPLETE".

Also Skeletons have no dick, Dragons probably can't reproduce with humans, Slime is just yuck, being a baby sucks (until we get older that is).

 

[oscar]

G>E

 

[treave]

Hm, f you fall and then become an angel, can you even be considered a fallen angel?

Anyway, the form you take has no bearing on what your thoughts and motivations are. You might find some more choices that depict a tendency towards certain behavioural traits associated with the form, like increased callousness, or a vanishing libido, but you are free not to make those choices.

 

[Absinthe]

So, any chance of info on the vampire?

 

[a bear named spigot]

slime me up, boys

 

[treave]

So, any chance of info on the vampire?

If you're talking about racial background, you know nothing about any of the other options available either. The only one you've encountered was demons, and you were more busy trying to kill them than understand them. The rest don't exist in your world. That includes vampires.

 

[Nevill]

Hm, f you fall and then become an angel, can you even be considered a fallen angel?

Why not? You are still a celestial whose right to that name isn't recognized.

Anyway, the form you take has no bearing on what your thoughts and motivations are.

So how would a lecherous lich function, then?

 

[Esquilax]

So how would a lecherous lich function, then?

A bit like Morte, I'd imagine.

 

[treave]

Why not? You are still a celestial whose right to that name isn't recognized.

Why wouldn't it be recognized?

So how would a lecherous lich function, then?

Frustratingly.

 

[Kipeci]

Oh, come on! No one's going for the slime? It allows for the perfect sneaking on voluptuous maidens, and it has by far the best defensive stats for whenever we inevitably get wrecked by something through our stupidity. Plus, we get to split into multiple copies of our character and have the other ones do all the work. It'd be easy enough to have a clear track to increased power with that too, we just need to digest a lot of folks.

Since that's not panning out due to this fiendish prejudice for characters with spines, I'd also be very on board with the overbaby! The mana's bad right now, but the baby has the best capacity for magical defense (well, aside from slime) and offense for when we can get around to improving the mana. Given that we have an almost entirely magical skillset, that seems like the best way to make use of our potential talents once we get on the way. I'd also like having the rise to power inherent in going from the strongest newborn ever to the most badass mage overlord to ever exist, and on top of all that we end of with the most compatible penis to all the women we come across. I just want to go through one playthrough with someone really charismatic!

I'll be voting F>G>E. Since my favorite options are unfortunately lagging behind, I'll just say that I think that a more defensive playstyle would probably be helpful, the mana increase seems more valuable than the spell analysis since we already have ridiculously powerful spells but have trouble fueling them, and that being an angel probably helps us out in other ways that Nevill described.
