Vessel of the Jump OOC (Jumpchain if everyone shares the same pool) (Recruiting) (AI-Assistance)

[Necrorifter]

INTRODUCTION

Hey there. Nice to meet you.
My name isn't important, but I have a business proposal for you.

I'm a hobbyist of sorts—I watch people go on grand adventures, and I'm starved for new stories. So here's the deal:

You want your life to be different. That's normal. Escape fantasies are part of life. I can offer you an actual escape. Not just a fantasy.

However, we will do this differently from the traditional way. You already know JumpChain and how overpowering they can be. Instead, you all will share the same title of Jumper, meaning whatever you all agreed on and voted on will be your shared power. These powers can only be used by a single person at any one time. I think this will be an interesting shake-up from the normal style of every individual having their pool and forcing you guys to split and work together on these choices.

I recommended voting and decide on each section before move on to the next as previous final decision for a section might influence future section decisions.

The Offer

• I'm sending you to the world of Pokémon.
• You'll live there and deal with the local plot, typically resolved by becoming the champion of the region or beating the regional crime syndicate. Time will be frozen back home.
• At the end of the plot, you individually choose what happens next:
  Go home with all the new toys and friends you acquire? Stay in this world forever or move on to a new world with new rewards and challenges, assuming you entertain me enough.

Before we continue, if you do not want this, you can turn around and walk away, you will wake up, and this will be but a fading dream that you will forget in a few moments.

The Budget
To help you survive, I'll give you 1000 Choice Points (CP) to spend on your new life. Spend it all now — it won't help you later! If you die, I will just send you back to Earth with your memory rewritten so it's all in your head that you read off some digital screen.

Free Starter Gear
You also get these for free:

• Bag (Bigger on the inside)
• PokéGear (Can be muted)
• Pokédex (Already filled)
• 5x Poké Balls (Standard catch rate)
• 3x Potion (Think "band-aid in a bottle")
• Red Hat
• Whatever you're wearing right now
• Your wallet and cellphone (no service, useless currency)

SECTION ONE: REGION

Not bad, but I think you misunderstood the point of this. This is fine until someone else joins, then you guys have to vote on shares. Everyone have share the same "character sheet" which I already post and threadmark as Jumper Sheet but have their own PC sheet to decide who they are.

This way everyone have same power set and origin but must delgate who and when can they use power since they can only be used by one person at any time.

Think Questing where they vote on MC action but they all share MC powers with their own PC, power that they vote for MC together.

JumpChain issue is both power creep and spread of players who picking different origins/backgrounds and locations that make it harder to tackle this and that was designed for one player, not multiplayer which become more broken. This allow/force everyone to share same origin/background and location as well slow down power creep by share single pool rather than have their own pools.

With your two dice, your "vote" is Kalos for everyone and age 16 for your PC. Now that you understand what I am going for... You can decide if you still want to try this or nah and move on.

Ohhhhh. My fault. Ya I still want to do this.
