(AN: A boring chapter, just to give you the build, feel free to skip it)
[WELCOME TO THE JUMP CHAIN!]
"Excuse me?" was all I managed to say as I was quite a bit startled when I heard a voice that came out of nowhere, in a very deep voice at that. There was something special in the voice I just couldn't put his finger on.
I then realized something unusual, I was floating, in a void. I was in what appeared to be a room made out of white light.
In front of me was a tablet that was in an arms reach from me. I took the tablet to my hands, I clicked on it and a classic wallpaper appeared, I then swiped it open, it took a few seconds but a page loaded. It was one of those Choose Your Own Adventures, those that made you create a character.
"What am I supposed to do with this?!" I asked out loud, there was no reply "Am I just supposed to fill it? What is going on here?" I then clicked on the tablet and then the voice spoke once again.
[ENJOY YOUR STAY IN THIS WORLD! IF YOU SURVIVE, YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE OPTIONS! GOOD LUCK JUMPER!]
And that was it, no matter how many times I asked, demanded, even begged for more explanation I didn't get any. The voice simply did not budge, no answers came from him.
Sighing at not being given a proper explanation, nor a choice for that matter, I did the only thing I could think of and began reading the information on the tablet.
"So did I die and now am a… Jumper?" I asked myself before looking at the tablet more thoroughly, "The Boys? That's the TV Show with Jensen Ackles, right? I didn't really watch it but it's supposed to be about Evil Superheroes and CIA agents, right?" I asked but once again, there was no answer.
I quickly skimmed through the entire document, from what O could see, there were Origins that gave you discounts on things such as Perks, Items, and two of them even gave stipends for powers.
I carefully considered my options and made my choices.
Origin: Supes (200) - As a baby you were injected with Compound V. You grew up to be a licensed superhero. You are considered to be a B-List hero, meaning you are well known and loved in your local area, but are low-key everywhere else, that is unless you have a Super PR. If you do have Super PR, you are considered to be a hero on par with Homelander. (PS: Despite Your Location, You Can Make Any City Your Local Area)
Age: 24 (16 + 4 + 4)
Gender: Male
Location: Vought International HQ (1) - You begin in the plaza just outside the headquarters of Vought International, the biggest company in New York City, maybe even the world. Don't worry, you won't be bothered by any heroes unless you are the Public Enemy Number 1.
Perks:
- Super Looks (100/Free) - Have you ever noticed how almost every hero is good looking? Now so are you. Your appearance is enhanced to a solid eight, meaning you are considered to be good-looking by everyone, even by those whose type you aren't. And for those whose type you are, you are exceptionally attractive.
- Super Control (200/100) - You know why most heroes' powers never go out of control? Neither do I. But don't worry, for one reason or another you won't lose control and make embarrassing mistakes like crushing someone's hand while shaking it, accidentally melting someone's face off with your heat vision, or running through a girl who was standing on the sidewalk.
Powers (+400):
- Homelander Package (1000) - Super Strength 3 + Super Durability 3 + Flight + Heat Vision + X-Ray Vision + Super Hearing + Enhanced Reflexes
Items:
- Cornell Ring (800) - You live in a world where superhumans are a thing. So it is possible for one with telepathy to take control of you and your company. But don't worry, as long as you wear this ring, you are immune to mind control of any kind. If lost, destroyed, or stolen, you get a new ring the next morning. For an additional 400cp (undiscounted) you can instead make this effect internal, turned on and off at your will.
- Supes Suit (100/Free) - Every Supe needs a costume. Now you have one too. You have a standard, professionally-made super suit, it's bulletproof and resistant to many other types of damages. Its appearance can be anything you want.
- Sponsorship (200/100) - Money is no longer a problem for you. You somehow managed to get a sponsorship with a company of your choosing. For the duration of this jump, this sponsorship pays 100,000 Dollars annually, (1,000,000 for Supes Origin). In your future jumps you'll receive the equivalent of 100,000 Dollars annually.
Companions:
- N/A
Drawbacks:
- Extended Stay (+100) - Your stay in this jump has been extended by 10 years. This drawback can be taken as many times as you please, however only the first purchase grants you any cp.
- What's the Boys (+200) - You do not remember the plot of The Boys. You will still gain memories of your in-jump character, but nothing beyond what you would expect from them.
- Locked Away (+200) - You will forget about your previous jumps, and any item/perk/power you bought outside this jump, as well as your warehouse will be unavailable to you until 10 years are up. Your companions/followers are similarly depowered. If this is your first jump, feel free to take this, it is a pretty fucked up place.
- God U (+300) - Your age is now set to 18. You are now a freshman at Godolkin University. You have to attend this university for the next four years, and graduate at the top 5, and before you ask no, you can't skip grades. If you fail to do so, or are expelled for any reason, you will fail your chain. Cannot be taken by Soldier Boy drawback.
Once I was happy with my choices I clicked finish, and the room dissolved into darkness.
