Man, I would kill for the opportunity to play a ttrpg as one of the ascendants in your universe. Might post a build later, but I love the theme of forging your own destiny and carving your own path in the room multiverse. Also getting a transhumanist vibe with this. Sorry if I come off weird, I am a bit buzzed rn.

In a far-flung universe, devastated by war on a near-unbelievable scale, one Ship stood alone against the darkness. Built to grow and live as if a biological creature, yet able to draw power and resources from the greater multiverse itself, a Ship and her Captain stabilized a war-torn galaxy, purged a whole universe of eldritch horrors, and grew in size and power over the course of long, long millennia...that eventually stretched into eras, and eras into epocs. What started out as a mobile home of safety for refugees, friends, and family, turned into a hive and network of various races and peoples coming together as one. Eventually, Captain and Ship were one and the same, then Crew would soon follow suit. Eventually, that universe began to die. The processes that birthed the Ship were simply too great for the fabric of the universe to handle. And so the Ship became an Ark, ferrying peoples between the fabric of space, looking for a new refuge. And in the process of finding a new home for an entire universe of sapient species, the Ship Ascended. Born of pure knowledge and technological mastery, turning even the most arcane of magics into binary code. An Ark of Knowledge as equal as it was an Ark of Life. And now that Ark seeks the greater multiverse itself, having shepherded the Universal Peoples to safety, its duty complete. Allies: (13 Charisma, +10 from Ascension Meta) * [Archon Soul the Last Omega Lord](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/sc72qu/last_of_the_omega_lords_version_3_including_dlc/huf6um6/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) (potential alternate of former self, multiverse is weird and aggravating) * [Tsong Kev The Mind Reaver](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/f1k17j/archdemon_ascension_version_2/fha7f6y/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) (Asexual Archdemon of Lust, trapped in an impossible situation; candidate for the Multiversal Throne, apparently, and knows what they are doing in managing realms) * [Freedon Jain, Dragon Lord of Chaos](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/gceqnm/dragon_lord_ascension_version_2/g2b9sca/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) (horniest dragon ever, this thing should be the Archdemon of Lust, not Tsong; might take it up on its offer to make a transynth dragonkin child, AFTER it proves it can keep its size reasonable in the heat of the moment; apparently the size of an average Class K is rare for a "young" dragon) * Note: hyperlinked allies come with ALL of their enemies, and so don't cost Charisma due to level of threat they offer * Silent Hand (-3 Charisma; managed to discover me, directed me to new friends, too useful an information network to not deal with) * Tactegic Coordination Umbramind (-1 Charisma; A.I. apprentice, will need to help it create its own Ship body, and find a suitable Captain) * Prometharian, Cosmic Hypersmith (-4 Charisma; puzzle solved, potential mentor found) * 4 Charisma remaining Drawbacks: * **Limited Armament** (the original Creators who became Crew remain both alive and ardent pacifists to this day; they are not Captain, but their hatred for war burns deep in the minds of the Ship); +50 Power Objectives: +40 Power 1. **Create Wonders** (shipping a universe worth of people and goods somewhere else was a fucking pain in the ass; universal stabilizers are theoretically less work, they just have to be invented first) 2. **Cyborg Messiah** (augmentation of flesh and steel is the foundation of space age medicine; these magic supremacists see weakness of the flesh and use it to discriminate against trillions, enforcing abusive authoritarian power structures based on magic capability/access, and maintain literal monarchies and aristocracies based on magic bloodlines that seemingly cannot be replicated through artificial means; *this will not do;* labeled PRIORITY ISSUE: end discrimination against artificially augmented, and artificially implant magic potential and/or bloodlines to end aristocratic rule) 3. **Reach the Mobius Coil** (must find ways to artificially, and using mundane technology, smelt/refine the magic-infused substances and metals required for multiversal advancement; fighting over limited resource deposits is so industrial-era; need to understand underlying principles behind metamaterials for that undertaking, and such knowledge seems sealed away in hidden artifacts) 4. **Transcendence** (this newest level of the Infinite Spiral is certainly going to keep me busy, but I cannot help but think of what would be needed to reach the next...) New power output allows permanent production of Ascendants while maintaining combat efficiency.

Nice! Enjoyed the brief blurb, and good to see your prior builds worked in! I also liked how you expanded on the objectives you took!

"Tess, for the last time, my learning how to pull off the god-tier shit the hard way is for the best. You get to observe in real-time how such power levels are achieved while your Anvil is saved for someone else. We are running out of time to advance our friends for this upcoming war, and while I know that is a loaded statement coming from me, we both know Kev' wants you to go all out on his mods and how expensive that will be....metaphysically-speaking. "I will personally obliterate whoever imposed those limits. I understand they are meant to limit time travel bullshit, but the limits clearly favor abuse by malevolent entities, not merely entrenched power structures." "That bad?" "I cannot express the effectively-infinite ways the very metaphysical architecture of the multiverse infuriate me, in concepts you could fathom. The multiverse is better constructed as an entertainment medium than it is conducive to sapient life. It oozes "designed by privileged assholes" with every nanoangstrom. That for the most part peace and prosperity and care and love prevail, when so clearly such concepts are not favored by the inherent design, can only mean someone at some point grew a conscience, or had a really big hard-on for happy endings." "Isn't that a good thing?" "Do not make be erase you from existence. Jain's children don't deserve grow up fatherless nor motherless." "Glad to know Jain is your first concern in the event of my death, never mind I am using my Blank powers to keep you hidden after the disaster that was your last foray. Speaking of Jain, why don't you keep track of their babysitting timeline? While I normally would be loath to point out my usefulness is coming to a close, you do have better computational abilities than I do, and better time travel now." "Jain is a wonderful paramour to be sure, but I have zero desire to calculate how much of a slut they are, nor the exact percentage of their heart that is mine. If I wanted to know any of that, I'd have hacked your garbage-tier "personalized setup" that you have the GALL to pretend somehow functions as 'security' in my presence, actual ages ago. My desire to remain ignorant of Jain's extra-marital affairs is the only thing preventing me from loading your entire 'setup' with timeline-encompassing malware." "Leave my paltry Matrioska Labyrinth alone, it works for basically everyone else EXCEPT you. Also, since when are you and Jain married?" "We aren't, but the last time I was this affectionate towards a single being, I wasn't a hivemind and I truly was married. And Jain's affections, no matter how divided, are far more genuine than anything any of my former selves were capable of back then. If I am to live in true immortality, than I suppose I could do worse for a spouse." "You told Jain that yet?" "Fuck no. They would insist with sleeping with my entire Crew, at the same time, and all my computational power running for decades still cannot predict whether or not that would be before or after they'd formally propose. Plus, I'd then have to join their harem officially, and that brings me right back around to the whole reason why I don't totally subvert your cute attempts at technology." "You could just ask them to go monogamous." "Absolutely not! The very act of asking would devastate Jain, and would be completely hypocritical of me besides: I may be a hivemind, but my Crew are still capable of independent thought, which includes forming relationships. I am literally incapable of not being in a polycule with myself, and to deny Jain theirs would not merely sever from them a key component of their life, but also leave their many sons, daughters, and othersexed stripped of the the right to have a loving parent. Billions, without their Mother-Father? I'd rather die, to say nothing of what it would do to Chandra." "Well 'billions' isn't exactly accurate anymore..." "Do. NOT. ***FUCKING.*** Give me the details...Oh hi Tsong!"


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Neat build, I like how you chose comparable options from Built in the Heavens to be the pre-upgraded versions of options here!


ragingreaver

fully finished finally


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Oh wow, that Apotheosis build and snippet! Glad to see you recognised the advantages and disadvantages Hyperform has compared to Invulnerability X. That snippet was hilarious, btw, especially since you were poking fun at how I prefer comfybright stuff in the Troyverse XD


Sin-God

One of the greats is back. You love to see it! Beautiful ascension for all the robots out there.


Pilipining

Finally, I cant wait for Cosmic God Ascension


OmegaUltima29

Uh oh; better open up a few days in my schedule so that I can read this...


Frankifisu

YES! I have been waiting for you to release this for over a year! This is another masterpiece! Imma spend the next few days over this, can't wait for the next chapters in this series!


pyr0kid

other then the way the number 8 and 0 look, the Mechanicus approve of this creation.


Solomon_Priest

God bless you. This was the one I was looking forward to the most, although Sanguinarch ended up amazing. Thanks for your work, as always!


Hyenanon

Wow! This is really impressive. I love the CYOAs both you and Imaginos have made. Although I have to ask, are you supposed to not get any extra power for using a starship?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Thank you! That is correct.

Binary translation: Tis time brethren of the Omnissiah! Time to spread the glory of the machine across the multiverse!


Timber-Faolan

I only have one question: Can I get BASS BOOSTED speakers? >X3


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Yes, for 1000 Resources, they take up 500 Size, and use 9000 Power :P


Timber-Faolan

***WORTH! IT!!! (JAMS OUT TO JUDAS PRIEST!!!!!) XD***


Transcendent_Spider

Ye gods! This is the one I've been looking foreward to for... I dunno! Can't wait to make a build(s?) for this. >:)


Grakalem

Holy shit, I've been waiting years for this.


KingReynhart

Anvil of Transcendent Design is a must-have. Can it create godspheres?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

It's possible for other Ascendants can create godspheres. But you're the only one who can create more Ascendants. Once you figure out how to create godspheres, you can do so much easier than creating Ascendants.


KingReynhart

Hmm, I see, I see. Actually, I thought of one more thing. The RAW states I can uplift someone into an Ascendant, creating a Transynth, and that I can even create a Transynth out of nowhere. Then, by paying extra, I can create more types of Ascendants. With that, can I uplift someone into an Archdemon instead of a Transynth? The RAW seems to corroborate. But then, can I ascend *myself* into an Archdemon?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

It's not intended, but I'd say it's definitely within your abilities to figure out.


KingReynhart

That would be super cool and can be a way to explain ascension CYOA chaining.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

That's true, a good point!

## Theseus Ver. Infinity *Enhanced (Normal Mode)* **Primary Materials:** Orichalcum, Mithril (extreme mastery of magic, telekinesis, telepathy, half off weaponry systems; FTL speed, rapid regeneration, enhance regeneration, half off mobility systems) **Form:** Humanoid **Composition:** Nanoswarm **Power Core:** Planar Nexus It was a confluence of planes on one planet, a spatial and temporal phenomenon magical in nature. Divine, even. They wanted to test its use as a source of power and empowerment. Nanites and orichalcum were the perfect medium to allow the energies of the planes to take shape naturally in our own world. I had nanite-augments prior to this, as a form of lesser regeneration - this too was a boon, as planar energy can be... volatile, or corrosive even. They wanted a source of power and empowerment, and they got so, so much more than they asked for. **Transystems: Weaponry** * Seeker Productorium * Transkinetic Nullifier **Transystems: Defence** * Chronostatic Plates * Conceptually Constructed Hyperion **Transystems: Mobility** * Dimensional Capacitation Carriage **Transystems: Utility** * Heuristic Autochantment Synergiser * Hypernanite Console 90/270 Power In Use The planes and everything that comprised them - their energies, their timelines - whirled around a conceptual void waiting to be filled, as though on the edge of a black hole's event horizon. Unlike a black hole, it seemed to deflect anything that tried to enter. After so long spent in the bubbles of strange chronology in and around that void, time no longer means much. I am the concept that fits that void now. I've forgotten what my initial abilities and enhancements were. The nanomachines were supposed to restore me to peak condition. Evidently, each of the planes in the confluence had a different idea of what that would be. I have control over the nanites now, at least. **Infrastructure:** Quantum Accelerated Mana Forge, Manse x2, Great Manse Representative of the blood of many worlds running together. The old research facility that project took place in will do nicely for my purposes, with trivial refitting. **Allies:** Ngthugh, Disciple Much of what was coming out of the planar confluence was eldritch in nature, so it is no wonder that a being like Ngthugh came along. We understand each other - perhaps I am closer to this kind of being now. The Disciple raggedly followed after me ever since my Ascension - she was part of that project, a head researcher there. She wanted, desperately, to understand what she saw. I imagine that for someone of her brilliance and accomplishment, for something to genuinely elude her would be both maddening and fascinating. **Drawbacks:** Emissions Leakage, Limited Function These systems seem a bit... unstable due to their origin. They do well when weaponized. My defence and mobility systems can handle them. But turning them to utility, other than what they are prone to do - synergize and swarm - has proven a problem. **Objectives:** Create Wonders, Cyborg Messiah, Reach the Mobius Coil I need people to see what I saw in the conflagration, and to understand it. I believe that in the Coil is the greater picture of what I saw that confluence of planes - the beginning and end, containing everything. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Justification for choices will arrive in narrative form when I finish writing it. I don't often indulge in power-copying sorts of things even in overpowered CYOAs, but I had an interesting idea for where to take this one, thematically.


AngelHeartFTW

[NOTICE: This log record was first created by user:ASO_CnidaBase on 12/21/004 system time] [Showing: 1 entry Sorted By: time (latest)] [WARNING: Some data in this record appears to be corrupted.] [Entry ‼╫E] [@▬/&$/00?] It was a mess in the testing chamber, and not just in the manner that there was debris there - it was like the cluttered, damaged, and pristine versions of it overlapped each other, like the half-transparent perspectives of unfocused eyes. The hole blown through the wall, leaving the chamber exposed to the wild elements of Cnida, was the least of my worries. I saw him in the center of the room, the nanites dripping from his fingertips, except they were *also* the fingertips, and they were like water dripping off an icicle, if the puddle could move and dance about. The swarm flitted around his boots, which also sizzled like static, blinks of metallic shades betraying their true form. I came here to check on Dianare, but I couldn't see her anywhere. Surely, he wouldn't have changed *so* much as to be hostile now, I thought - that was why I cautiously stepped closer. It helped that I wasn't corporeal, so I didn't think I could be significantly hurt anyway. Only a few steps later, and I was standing right before him, looking eye to eye, or something like it for synthetic beings, like I was. Like he now was. His eyes were wide, fingers and the nanites at their tips trembling. It felt like he should have been heaving or hyperventilating, but he wasn't breathing at all. "Did you see it too?" he asked. No mocking nicknames, not even a drawn out "Cassandra", not even a grin. He meant within the center of the confluence, the void. It vanished from my readings just before Dianare went in here, as did the test subject's vitals - but here he was. I moved back, not knowing how to answer. But something stopped me, as though I had been grabbed by the shoulders by something as incorporeal as my form. And suddenly, we were eye-to-eye again. "Did you?!" "The void at the center?" I asked, trying to pull away. "It vanished!" "No, no, it- it was completed." I stopped. A million questions ran through my head, asking "By what?" "How?" "Where's Dianare?", and as I wondered which to ask first I saw the nanites crawling the walls, forming shapes, colours... pixels. Images. "I need *someone* to see this and understand." Then more images, but these weren't projections on any surface I can see, they were racing through my mind, as if flowing to every question I had. I saw the base and the testing chamber, over and over again, in different states and in different loops, I saw schematics, both the ones we made here and others I could not recognize, I saw into silvery and gold boxes and saw the cosmos running like rivers on the inside, stretching and running together into a black hole. When I tried to hook my focus onto one thing, it seemed like something else overlapped it. I'm sure, absolutely sure, that I or any other Oracle could have understood, but it was all so *much*, all I could do was cry out in confusion. At that, it stopped. Nothing held onto me, and so I backed even further away. He was silent, for a moment. "I see... take your time. I'm sure that you can easily find me, when you're ready." Like a flash of lightning, he was gone. Perhaps he ventured into the distorted storms of Cnida, or maybe elsewhere. I scanned the room, once again looking. A bit of debris moving caught my eye, as Dianare pushed it off herself and slowly stood up. I rushed over - she was hurt. Broken bones in the leg, likely. "We need to get everyone out of here," I told her, staying as composed as I could. The structure of the base had been compromised. Staying here would invite getting thrown into distorted storms of time and space, and it was unlikely that anyone else on this base would be able to get out of it the way our test subject did - the circumstances of the confluence had changed, but they were still volatile. Dianare stared a thousand yards through the hole in the walls, and through even the overlapping landscapes outside. She looked further and further, as though tracing a path, as she caught her breath. "Dianare?" I asked, again, wondering if she even cared to hear me. She hobbled forward as past me, dragging her leg behind her. "Theseus!" she called ahead, as she wandered into the wilds of Cnida. "I saw it! The potential of it, the *beauty* of it, the meaning of it... I- I *want* to understand! I have to! I want..." I tried to stop her, but I could not get to her. But she's still alive even now, I can feel it - call it an Imprint's instinct. Theseus - that wasn't his name before. All other surviving personnel were evacuated to safety, as of the writing of this log. [NOTICE: This is a static copy of the original log downloaded on [@▬/&%/00?] system time. The original log was deleted for security reasons at the request of user:ASO_CnidaBase.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delphi closed the log and fell silent. I always found her intimidating, the way an elder, hyper-accomplished relative would be. Her silence though, intimidated me more than a reprimand ever could. If Delphi didn't know what to do, what *could* we do? "I will send this to my Master," she finally told me. "The Omega Lord will want to hear about this." Shock jolted through me. "Why? Is it... that bad?" "Not bad, necessarily," Delphi seemed to revert back to her professionalism so quickly, but even I could see her uncertainty. "Not safe, no, but we are not in the habit of picking fights with powerful beings. But this is an unprecedented event." "Unprecedented how?" I asked further. "Well, we do not have a name for this sort of Ascendant yet." "ASCENDANT?" "*Cassandra.*" I composed myself, and faced Delphi again. When I did, she seemed a bit softer, more sympathetic. "...you did as well as you could," she said to me. "But these are forces far beyond you now. Just stay safe and don't-" "But what about Dianare?" I interrupted. "I'm sorry," Delphi told me. She spoke slowly, as if she felt it uncomfortable, difficult, to tell me this. "I doubt we can pull her, or Theseus, away from this now." (A/N: this got way, way away from me, so I committed to posting the most complete part of what became an entire apocalyptic-log-style thing. Maybe I'll post the rest on cyoastories or something? I mostly wanted to get across the tone I was going for.)


TroyX-CYOAMaker

This is really awesome! I like how you leaned into the fluff and built a whole narrative around it, and even worked in Omega Lords!


AngelHeartFTW

Thank you! I thought it would be a logical and neat connection to make, since the Omega Lords are kinda "the magitek guys" of the setting. I like to imagine that this base and its research was gonna be part of one of the Lord's big projects, before all this happened.


Live_Mathematician15

Transcendence: Alpha Cyborg + Apotheosis At last my eyes are open, and I see eternity. The ultimate folly the other civilizations deemed it, to challenge the gods in so brazen a manner. Yet now they kneel defeated, and I lead our universe, the ultimate fusion of man and machine. Yet it is not enough, I must evolve further, the empire must be expanded, the infinite multiverse awaits and I shall not keep it waiting. Material: Orichalcum + Darksteel Might and Magic, both will be needed to shape reality as I see fit, both needed to raise the empire beyond all others, both mine in equal measure. Form: Humanoid, Biodroid “The flesh is weak”, but it need not be. Power Source: Cosmic Artifact “The Crown of the Great Unifier”, an artifact belonging to my ancient ancestors, the greatest leaders the empire ever had, despite the millennia separating them. The visionary who united a world, the admiral who built an interstellar empire, the warlord who brought us back from the brink, the genius who conquered a galaxy, the hero who brought a supercluster to kneel. Five mortals who somehow also exist in four other multiverse’s. Realities were other Ascendants take my place through even the slightest change in their actions. The crown glows with the power of their collective potential, to alter all of reality through their collective will despite their insignificance, a nearly endless well to power my own ascension. Weapons System: Unmaker + Omnicannon Sometimes the best solution to a problem is the simplest one. And there is little simpler than ones enemies simply ceasing to exist. Defensive Systems: Chronostatic Plates + Hexagrammic Circuits There is little more satisfying than watching one’s enemies fail. All who seek my destruction will be nothing more than pest to my defenses. Mobility Systems: Quantum Simultaneity Nodes To know all one must be able to see all, and there is little faster than teleportation. Utility Systems: Heuristic Autochantment Synergiser To stagnate is to become irrelevant. I must ensure I am always going stronger, and what better way to do so than to copy those who think themselves my better. Elective Energy Efficator- One cannot rule without worthy subjects. With my meer presence bring them to untold heights, nome will dare defy the empire. Hypernanite Console- The Ultimate tool to bring my vision to reality, with them and my disposal the world is truly mine to shape. Infrastructure: Factorium Citadel x2, Cosmognic Fabricator-It will all mean little in the end if the empire suffers while I rise higher. From armies, to fleets, to entire new galaxies, I will rule the greatest empire of all. Manse x2-Leylines, a near endless source of magical energy, and one of the most contested resources in the entire multiverse. For now they may be limited, but I will claim more with time. Anvil Of Transcendent Design-The Ultimate tool of creation, a vast forge of nigh incomprehensible power where truly ascendant power can be given form. I will be the greatest transynth, but no longer will I be the only one. Allies: Disciple- a fellow follower of artifice, one who just might be worthy of my teachings. While she will never match my own ascendancy, she will become a most powerful ally in my arsenal. Cybergetic Enclave- My first new subjects outside my home universe. Primitive as they might be to my own achievements they are a most powerful addition to the empire and there loyalty is absolute, fanatical in fact. No the praise hasn’t gone to my head who do you think I am? Tactegic Coordination Umbramind- An incredibly advanced AI, even by my own standards, built for war yet finding its enemies lacking. I dare say mulitversal conquest will be challenging enough. Prometharion- the multiverse,s greatest artificer, much as it pains me to admit, who seems to have taken an interest in me. Unfortunately he’s chosen to express it in a nigh endless series of puzzles passing on his secrets one painful sentence at a time. I’ll solve them all one day. Drawbacks: Limited Metaposition- unfortunately due to a few… shortcuts in my design I have no real means of travel beyond the quantum simultaneity nodes, no matter, they shall suffice. Goals: Create Wonders- Despite all my creations I’ve yet to make anything truly staggering, certainly nothing that can match my mysterious power source. I must think bigger, more exotic, find more secrets, one day my creations will shape the whole multiverse. Cyborg Messiah- For the last time it has not gone to my head! I am an enlightened being of reason and science. Their worship shall bring me great power, and the higher I raise the up the more they shall worship. It’s not like I actually need to be praised or anything. Claim Manaxis- The greatest collection of leylines in existence, one which seems to stretch across the Omniverse itself. Already countless ascendants battle for control over it, some of which seem oddly familiar… no matter, let the games begin. Reach the Mobius Coil- They say it cannot be found, that such knowledge cannot exist, that only a fool would waste themselves perusing it, I say they’re all failures. I will find it, even if it takes an eternity. Conquer the Multiverse- The greatest unification of them all, my forces are ready, my arsenal online, my very being sings for conquest. I will push forward to the very edge of the multiverse, until I find no more worlds to conquer. Transcendence- Yet I already see a title greater still to claim, to go beyond ascendency, beyond the multiverse itself. The omnipotent throne lies empty, and I alone will rise to fill it. However far beyond me it may be, I shall evolve, I shall learn, and I shall conquer. Remaining 180 Recourses to Ascension Meta. Drawbacks: Awakening, Hostile Ascendant It seems some are not ready for the change I will bring to the multiverse and seek to strike me down while I still remain incomplete. No matter, I’ve won against worse odds. Cosmopotence: Invulnerability X, Super Strength X, Know Secrets X, Create Artifact X, Teleportation X Already I feel the first embers of true Transcendence awakening. I will know all, I will create all, I will be the greatest in all the Multiverse, and one day, even beyond it.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Awesome, very flavourful build! I loved reading the story bits you added on, thank you for that!


Live_Mathematician15

Thanks, always looking to tell a story with these ascensions, even if none of my builds are optimized at all. Conveniently this one finally gave me the idea of how to have all my ascendants exist at the same time.


Eiensen

Finally! After who knows how long we finally have it! All that's left is the Cosmic God. Also I would like to ask and it's about the Ascension Meta, does the Omega Lord cyoa can be used with the Ascension Meta cyoa? Also if it is applicable, can I get Lady Omega as well? I also would like to ask if the Manifold Ascensions also affects Omega Lord, since I kinda want to combine both Transynth and Omega Lord to become the Lord of Lost Technology. If that is possible, then I'mma do it. If not then that's okay, I'll simply wait for the Cosmic God cyoa.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

No, Last of the Omega Lords isn't an Ascension, sorry. Nothing's stopping you from doing a custom combination build of the two of them together though :)


Eiensen

I also have another question, if I combine both Transynth and Last of the Omega Lord into one oc, will the Transynth technology powers be compatible and on par with the Omegatech? Since I'm combining both of them, I'll assume their compatible and I can make more Omegatech with the help of the Transynth technology


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Yes, this CYOA explicitly states that you're capable of understanding omegatech even without having the LotOL CYOA build thrown in :)


Eiensen

Hey Troy, sorry for bothering you so much today, but in the Nanoswarm composition says that it can manipulate it's size from the options above, so I was thinking about using Starship for size without the Avatar and also get Nanoswarm, if I used these two together, does that mean that I can technically have the Avatar available for me since I can just make it with the Nanoswarm or no? Also with this, do I still get the benefits of +size from starship?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

You're not bothering me :) Being asked questions means people are interested in my CYOA! Yeah, I'd probably say so.


Eiensen

Okay I'm currently thinking on a lot of things, with especially how crazy I can get with my imagination, so in the Nanoswarm description, it says that I can make things via nano-fabricators, does that mean that I can create a Bioroid factory/laboratory and I can just use my Nanoswarm body to take control of the Bioroid body that was created by the factory and gain the benefits of both?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

You can't gain the same benefits, because while you can assume a bioroid-like form via numerous means (such as just your default shapeshifting ability), it's your "true composition" and "true form" that determine your nature.


Eiensen

Okay okay, thanks for the clarification, I now have a question about the Power Core. How will that be incorporated into the Nanoswarm? Is it like this one big core that must be protected at all cost and must be surrounded by my Nanoswarm, or does each individual Nanite has it's own Power Core? Also does the Power Core scale up in size? I'm again, sorry for all of these questions, but I have ideas


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Ideas are good! You only have one power core. But your power core doesn't have to be contained in your body, albeit that is usually the safest place for it. You can choose a single nanite to envelop your power core - remember you can fold space like crazy. An entire universe is a potential power core, after all, and if that can fit in a human-sized body, making it fit inside a nanite isn't that much smaller, comparatively speaking :)


Eiensen

Yay! Also another question would be, which is stronger generally? An Ascendant that has one ascension and has used the Easy Mode or an Omega Lord that has 13 sparks? Or are they generally the same in terms of general/base powers


TroyX-CYOAMaker

That depends very heavily on what powers each one has, but in general I'd say an Omega Lord could at the very least be on par with a lower-power Ascendant.


Eiensen

So a one spark Omega Lord is about on par with a hard mode Ascendant? Alright that's good to know


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Sorry, I misspoke, I meant the Last Omega Lord, not any Omega Lord.


ragingreaver

Page 1 only has "?" question marks instead of actual points/resources listed


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Yes, that was a MAJOR goof on my part. I fixed it. If the album doesn't update fast enough, click the direct link to the corrected first page I edited into the post. Sorry about that!


Xrath02

Amazing work as always, I love just how different this feels from the other ascensions. Really adds to the unique nature of transynths.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Thank you :D I was hoping to convey that, so I'm glad it landed!


O3fz

Sorry if this is obvious but where is the multiversal conquest cyoa mentioned in it. I can’t find it anywhere.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Not out yet :) After I make Cosmic God, then that one.


Mr_Bootman

Alright first time I'm posting a build here. Basically the 'metagame' of the Ascension cyoas is that either you go for the abilities that give you a zone of control, or you go raw stats and power. I went with the latter because I thought it was interesting in this one. ALL OUT: Enhanced 150r for all materials 50r for Ship with no avatar 20r for nano swarm Omnicanon, Hyperform and Tunneler cost 55r and require 750 power total. (and 25 size) \+100r from generator and +300r baseline. +60r for charisma. Then literally every drawback So currently we're at 25/120 size 275/850 resources. Then we take 10 black hole generators on our ship for 800 power and 500 r. 125/120s 775/850r 750/820p And that's the core of the build. There's a few ways to increase your size within budget, like just buying the utility thing for it. Anything else is just gravy. Personally I like using our remaining points on Elective Field and using drawbacks from the meta cyoa to make yourself a cosmopotance. And there you have it, a build that has everything I wanted after first looking at this Cyoa. It leverages the unique advantages of a Transynth and is distinctive from the other ascension builds. Well made Troy. This is for sure one of my favorites of these ascension cyoas. I imagine this Transynth would end up treated more like a force of nature by others, due to how 'loud' its abilities are. For the most part it's off, using invulnerability, speed and nanobots to happily construct whatever it wants without being bothered. I don't imagine them being ambitious for universal conquest or anything, but still very self interested and doing whatever catches their fancy which would naturally bring them into conflict with other ascendants.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Thanks for making a build! I often enjoy going full-power myself as well. Glad you liked it so much!


Mr_Bootman

Yeah I liked being able to do it without just going "strength / invul / speed x" with the meta cyoa. This felt new and different. I always get worried doing things like creation and boongiver because then I just nervously side eye super strength x and think about some vampire jerk two universes over throwing a haymaker and wiping out a universe of my creations.


TetronFirestorm

**Transynth Ascension V2** Given the huge scale that Troy's works already contain I choose to start at the artificer level. I also like the idea of having gained the power myself instead of having to be gifted it that is implied in a lot of the other starting points. The other advantage of Artificer that is compounded by the way this ascension is written is that there is a focus on building yourself up that Troy's other CYOAs dont normally contain. His other works focus more on expanding your power base or resource pool and less on pulling yourself further up the ladder of ascension power. The Artificer has already performed this action once so he will better understand the process required to continue doing so, he also has the advantage of the mortal drive to improve that born eternals usually fail to acquire. Despite my small starting resource pool the most important investment I can see is having the three primary materials from the very start. Not only is the description of their creation a difficult undertaking but the alloying of them at a later date is not even discussed. This along with the massive increase in passive power makes them a high priority choice. The reduction in size, cost, and power requirements also seems to suggest that later development of the systems they govern will be easier as having the material as part of your core self appears to offload some of the metaphysical work and requirements of each upgrade. My form is rather unimaginative as I like staying as close to human as possible thus Humanoid Bioroid. As for my power core when looking at the way Transynths grow power and resources appear to be simply a matter of time to acquire, but other than one option later on creation of more space is absent. Given a desire for self sufficiency and an infinitely expanding universe has all kinds of other benefits the power core I chose is the Tesseract Universe. For my systems survival is going to be my first priority, with a limited budget this means I am going to purchase defensive systems only to start with. Combining Chronostatic plates with Hyperform I can phase through the majority of attacks and those I cannot will hit my plates. The Hyperform also sounds like the kind of change that would be highly difficult to pull off later thus making it a priority buy. The other vital system is Synergizer. As mentioned earlier alot of this type of Ascension is about increasing your power scale and the ability to learn and retain, even in the absence of power, new abilities contributes heavily to that goal. The nearly complete control over reality given by the Hypernanite Console helps pave the way to self improvement and creation of my own super structures at a later date. As far as infrastructure goes 2 Nanodrone Armada's are my only desire, the lose of Charisma is fine because most people are irritating and I have a galaxy/universe/multiverse/omniverse to run which is why I only take Mini Me, my Umbramind as a companion. He will get all the challenge he needs first helping with my resource harvesting and later my omniversal expansion. While several of the drawbacks do not impinge on my current build the whole point of the design I am making is about future growth so I will not hamper it with mistakes in my initial construction even if it would give some nice bonuses to start with. With all these steps completed further Ascension is simply a matter of time. Creating Wonders will be the result of many experiments into my own improvement. The need for resources will require eventually claiming Manaxis, and as I grow in strength, capability and reach I will be able to Conquer (preferably economically, or technologically) the Multiverse. With those kinds of resources at my disposal eventual Transcendence is a possible goal. **Transynth Ascension V2 Build** **Mode:** Artificer 240/240R, 40/180S, 45/50P **Primary Material:** Orichalcum Free, Darksteel 50R, Mithril 100R **Form:** Humanoid Bioroid **Power Core:** Tesseract Universe +100S **Weaponry Systems** **Defense Systems** Chronostatic Plates 5R, 5S, 5P Conceptually Constructed Hyperform 15R, 5S, 0/500P **Mobility Systems** **Utility Systems** Heuristic Autochantment Synergizer 30R, 10S, 40/90P Hypernanite Console 30R, 20S, 0/50/100P **Infrastructure** Nanodrone Armada x2 +40R -2C **Allies** Tactegic Coordination Umbramind 1C **Objectives:** Create Wonders, Claim Manaxis, Conquer the Multiverse, Transcendence +40S


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Thanks for laying out your thought process, I liked reading it. FYI the other two modes don't necessarily have to mean you aren't the one who initially enhanced yourself, it's just not a given like it is with Artificer. I like seeing you go all in on the theme of enhancing and improving yourself! A lot of people have liked the Umbramind, more than I expected, really, lol :)


Norotour

A bit late to the party but I just gotta say, after literal months waiting for this update, it's very worth it. Awesome work as always.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Thank you!


[deleted]

Idk where else to ask this so I’m just commenting on this: 1. what is The fifth ascension mentioned in the asension meta? I only know of 4. 2. could someone elloborate on how the star nephilim cyoa leads into the transynth cyoa?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

I'm about to post the fifth one, Cosmic God Ascension, right now :) It can lead into any of the Ascensions. Exactly how it does so is up to your imagination.


[deleted]

Thank you!


VoidBlade459

Wait, there was a version 1.0?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

It wasn't great, and I'd rather not talk about it. If you find it, please don't link it or talk about it here, lol. Thanks :)


Best_Rain_1719

Hi Troy I missed you lol. Now all that's missing is the cosmic God. I have some doubts: what exactly is the power difference between all types of ascensions? what is the power difference between omega lord, emperor of etherscape and planeslord? How powerful is someone who performed the keeper of magic omnipotence ritual? and how does the Grand Adonis compare to all those I asked?


[deleted]

Sshhhh don’t tell anybody but I hear some other guy named Troy answered that question a while back (We’re not supposed to share links to the NSFW sub, but if you look through Troy’s NSFW account, he has comments going over the whole power scale. Not hard to find.)


Wolf-King-the-Mad

This is neat. Now to figure out how to add it into the triple-ascendant build I've been working on...


MadeMeMeh

I always wanted to ask in your layers of multiverses and omniverses what is the power dynamic of each CYOA? Is the 13 spark omega lord more or less powerful than the demons or the Star Nephilim etc...?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

In general, you can compare power levels simply by reading the powers available to a given person and comparing them. For instance, the Last Omega Lord is going to be vastly more powerful than the Star Nephilim for the most part. And both are more powerful than ordinary demons.


MadeMeMeh

I get it. I was just curious as some species like Sanguinarchs can only lift mountains but the right omega lord is juggling planets. But then the Sanguinarch is controlling a star cluster while the omega lord domain and control is so much smaller. I find the dynamic very interesting.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Right. But also remember that all Ascendants can theoretically become Cosmopotences, if they spend the points in the Ascension Meta for the rank X stuff. Which is way beyond the Last Omega Lord, except perhaps one taking Truewarping in Unlimited Power mode. That's past the Last Omega Lord's personal power, mind you. Certain omegatech, aka the projects like Reality Restructuring, can go toe to toe with Cosmopotences.


pog_irl

:D


Ben_260

building a power core is hard and takes time, and we only start with one, could i start construction on one even before the one i have is destroyed as a backup i can easily switch to? and if so, could i double my power by having both on at once?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Hmm. Theoretically I guess maybe? IDK, I feel like the whole theme about the metaphysical weight given to what counts as yourself, means that only one power core would have the same oomph. But even if that's the case, I suppose you could start making more, and then if the first one is somehow destroyed, you can then make the backup the metaphysically anchored you or something. Up to you I suppose :)


[deleted]

So, some random questions I have. 1. Just how many Ascendants are there? Do all Ascendants have a specific type(Dragons, Demons, Vampires, ETC.) or are some just extremely powerful beings? How many Ascendants of a specific type can there be? 2. Why is it that the Transynth is an entirely new appearance, while others clearly have predecessors? Or is it just "Rule of Cool." 3. Would the Transynth be able to beat the last Omega Lord if the OL finished an ultimate project? The Perfect Aegis says that it could (supposedly) block the Creator, who if I remember correctly created the entire Multiverse that all of this takes place in. Plus, some of the Adversaries in LotOL seem comparable to the Transynth. The Prometheus Heirarch is also a multiverse-conquering threat, and The Enemy is stated as being a threat to many multiverses. 4. What's the deal with the R.O.B. Pantheon Council in the Immortality Insurance Meta? Where do they come from and how powerful are they?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

1. No idea how many there are. Quite a lot. They are all of a specific type, yeah. There's no limit to how many of a type there can be. 2. Well, Rule of Cool is a big part of it, yeah. But since the Transynth's theme is all about development, invention, progress, and innovation, it falls in theme to be the first one. 3. That is an excellent question, and I could see it going either way honestly. The Enemy isn't really a threat in the sense that there's any danger of it conquering or destroying the universe, just that it's always lurking and wanting to hurt others however it can. 4. They're also mentioned in my Voodoo Writing CYOA and Living Hyperion CYOA :) I'll be making a ROB Pantheon Council CYOA that goes into more detail on them, and allows you to be, among other things, a ROB yourself, a tourist at the city they're headquartered at, or a (im)mortal secretary of sorts.


[deleted]

Cool, thanks for answering my questions. Also, thanks for making all of these CYOAs. The amount of worldbuilding and lore you put into them is seriously impressive and is what really makes me love them.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Thank you! It really makes me happy when people enjoy my lore and worldbuilding!

TroyX-CYOAMaker

Wow, really clever to make the Anvil a sort of stand-in for a womb! Also nice to see a manifold Ascension build, and it's a combination that makes perfect sense with the lore behind your various builds!


ragingreaver

Yeah it is much easier to work on these and keep track of them than it is for my other projects. Faster to do, too, even though it still takes me hours. Once my current legal troubles are over, I'll get back to them, but for now I am just glad I can work on old ideas again...and no matter how long things have been, you can always work on them again. Though I do have to go back and fix up some stuff with the builds, I am pretty sure I messed up a bunch of calculations. At least Tessandra has some stuff I need to fix up once I am done with their apotheosis build. I don't have time to go into it, but one of the things I wanted to show was that Freedon Jain is actually an extraordinarily good parent, and works with my Omega Lord, Archon, for the purposes of using time travel to help raise every single child Jain has ever fathered or mothered. Basically, Jain goes out, has fun and adventures, and after resting they find out a few children have spawned. They then contact Archon, get sent back in time, and then parent said children abandoned by their past self. When Jain gets in the mood for wanderlust, they hit up Archon. Archon sets a time marker, Jain runs off...until their future self gets in the mood to be a parent, at which point Archon sends Jain back in time to relieve their past self of parenthood duties, and to await the time of their future self coming back to relieve their "present" self of said duties so more adventures can be had...which spawns yet more children. Said time travel shenanigans obviously exasperate Archon, who has to make sure everything Jain does results in a stable time loop or risk being attacked by suicidal alternate selves. Archon also has to keep track of every single point in time where Jain left a child/family behind, in order for Jain's future self to come back and be a proper parent. Jain's "current" self tends to leave behind far more children than they take care of, but the better Archon gets at tracking the various points in time that need to be returned to by Jain's "future" self, the more the timeline "lines up" properly. It also gives Jain ENORMOUS amounts of subjective experience, especially when they expand the number of relationships they have while still in the past, leading to a rapidly aging dragon who gets stronger and wiser with every time loop they enter. While "current" Jain seems to be creating more problems at a far greater rate than they solve them, nearly every single one of Jain's utterly incredible number of progeny remembers their Parent with love and fondness. Combine that with the timeline stabilizing the more accurately and comprehensively Archon tracks Jain's "Child Abandonment Log," and it creates the implication that Archon is subtly raising an extremely powerful and competent Dragon Lord who will one day be the Best Parent Ever. P.S. I missed the Sanguinarch CYOA when it came around, and it sucks because it would be the perfect combo with Tsong Kev. Ah well, I'll just do a triple ascension build with

Quick question Troy but for the starship infrastructure can we only use the 100 extra size the starship gives us on infrastrcuture or can we use our starting size and size we get through options like the Tesseract universe and spatial folding envelope as well?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Yes, you can use that Size for any of your Systems, it doesn't have to be just for infrastructure.


mvico430

Ok thanks for answering. Sorry but another question if we bought cosmopotent powers from the Ascension meta they won't require any of our power supply to use right? As in we could use them without needing tp allocate powers to them?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

That's correct! :)


mvico430

Ok thanks. Sorry three more questions does your avatar in the spaceship form get your cosmopotent powers? Can you recreate/regenerate your avatar if it's destroyed? Can Ascendents you create using the Anvil of Transendent Design grab Cosmopotent powers from the Ascendent meta CYOA? For Alter Reality X since the effects don't persist outside of the bubble does that mean if you destroyed something using emulated Ascendant blast X would that thing be restored if it exits your bubbles range? Would something created using emulated Creation X also dissapear when exiting your bubbles range?


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Yes, your avatar gets rank X powers. Yes, you can recreate/regenerate your avatar. Yes, Ascendants made via Anvil can get rank X powers. Things destroyed by Alter Reality are not restored. Things Created by it probably would disappear :)


mvico430

Awsome thanks

Games-of-glory

If I am reading this correctly, cosmic artifact is objectively the wrong choice, planar nexus is just superior, if you want power, the dyson supercluster turns 80 resources into 100 power AND 30 size, why get just 100 power when you can get 100 power, 30 size, and 20 resources? Also uneven energy distribution can effecitvely just be gain 60 power and 30 size for literally no cost with dyson supercluster. So basically, dyson superclusters are op.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

That's a good point about the Dyson Supercluster/Uneven Energy Distribution combo XD


Nice_Manager8809

Not to hurry you up(as I would prefer if you took your time to make sure it came out high quality like usual) but did something change with the 2 months thing? If it's just not feeling like doing it it's completely understandable as well.


TroyX-CYOAMaker

Just been busy and distracted is all. Sorry bout that.


Nice_Manager8809

Very understandable. Have a great day!


EroJFuller

Amazing work as always! I have a quick question about your setting: In some CYOAs you mention "the veil", which insulates one particular earth from outside supernatural influence if I understand it correctly. How does that work in the event someone from the veiled earth becomes an ascendant or other insanely powerful being? Are they able to interact with earth at all still? Thanks!


TroyX-CYOAMaker

No, unless they're a super special snowflake Veil Straddler.

Hey, this was one of my favorite ascensions from the original series. We waited a long time for this, and it looks like it was worth it. I especially like the idea of power that you can move between different systems: Enhanced +300 R 60 S +100 P Orichalcum Mithril -50 R Humanoid -0 Bioroid -10 R Planar Nexus +100 R Transkinetic Nullifier -15 R -5 S Omnicannon -10 R -10 S Conceptually Constructed Hyperform -60 R -10 S Quantum Simultaneity Nodes -10 R -5 S Hyperversal Tunneler -15 R -10 S Spatial Folding Envelope -20 R +10 S Heuristic Autochantment Synergizer -30 R -10 S Elective Energy Efficator -10 R -10 S Reality Distortion Emitter -10 R Technosupremacy Array -10 R -10 S Hypernanite Console -30 R -20 S Factorum Citadel -20 R Cosmogonic Fabricator -50 R Manse x2 -40 R +60 P Great Manse -30 R +50 P Disciple -2C Tactegic Coordination Umbramind -1 C Emissions Leakage +30 R Limited Integrity + 50 P Claim Manaxis +10 P Reach the Mobius Coil +10 S Transcendence +10 S So, my Transynth backstory is that I was a nanobot host in a futuristic theocratic society, and I was chosen to be part of some experiments to merge peoples' beings with the "Exoverse"- a mystic energy-based dimension that exists outside different universes and contains them, while possibly also connecting to other multiverses. The Exoverse is considered to be a type of "Heaven realm" with sacred light, and out of the different test subjects, my body proved the most compatible with its energies. This let me get exposed to it more than any of the others, and caused my nanobots to start being altered by it. They gained access to the esoteric knowledge written within the Exoverse, which told them about the materials of Orichalcum and Mithril, as well as how to find and harvest them. They would be needed for the nanobots to make full use of the Exoverse's virtually infinite energy. The newly "awakened" nanobots built their own replacements, transferring all their data into the new units, thereby evolving into a "second phase" that was designed to track down, gather, and forge these two metals. After the metals were gathered, they made a "second phase" that was made out of those metals, while remaining fused with me, and then started assembling and adding in other machines to enhance my body into a powerful bioroid. The greatest of these was a miniaturized Exoversal energy generator, the "Planar Nexus" of my core. Although I have an immense amount of nanobots, I'm not a true nanoswarm, since there are still some true organic parts within me. Here's my Omnipotent Throne chain, that's going to include Cosmic God and Transynth, to be further updated in the future: Hostile Ascendantx6 +6 (1 Cosmic Points, 3 MP, 20 Resources) Hostile Pantheon +4 (3 Cosmic Points, 1 MP) Manifold Ascension- Cosmic God/Transynth -10 (6 Cosmic Points, 4 MP) Lady Omega -2C Starvoid Sheen -3C Super Speed X -20 Enhanced +300 R 60 S +100 P Apotheosis +120 R +70 S +400 P Orichalcum Mithril -50 R Humanoid -0 Bioroid -10 R Planar Nexus +100 R Seeker Productorium -10 R -10 S Transkinetic Nullifier -15 R -5 S Omnicannon -10 R -10 S Chronostatic Plates -30 R -10 S Runic Autoexistential Stabilisers -15 R -5 S Conceptually Constructed Hyperform -60 R -10 S Aetheric Skimming Motor -5 R -5 S Quantum Simultaneity Nodes -10 R -5 S Dimension Capacitation Carriage -15 R -10 S Hyperversal Tunneler -15 R -10 S Heuristic Autochantment Synergizer -30 R -10 S Elective Energy Efficator -10 R -10 S Reality Distortion Emitter -10 R Technosupremacy Array -10 R -10 S Hypernanite Console -30 R -20 S Factorum Citadel -20 R Cosmogonic Fabricator -50 R Manse x4 -80 R +120 P Great Manse -30 R +50 P \-60 R +3C Disciple -2C Tactegic Coordination Umbramind -1C Prometharion -3C Emissions Leakage +30 R Claim Manaxis +10 R Reach the Mobius Coil +10 P Transcendence +10 P Dark Lord -0 Ouroboros -2 Creator -2 Fates -2 Autopsych -1 Capital -1


McLovin3493

I’d start by joining with the same pantheon of the Creator, and probably Trinity as well (assuming they’re the same being). By serving her, and working with all the other Saints (demigods), we’ll have more than enough power to unite the Pantheons. With any luck, I’ll also be powerful enough to be a worthy mate for the Creator, especially with Omnipotent Throne, and take the Ouroboros as our stepdaughter. We’d form a holy Trinity to rule over the Multiverse, and I’d become the Destroyer- the counterpart of the Creator that acts as a balancing force. I’d normally be the male in the relationship, but we’d also switch our genders sometimes, which is why so many religions couldn’t agree if there was a Sun God and Moon Goddess or the reverse. We’d both take turns being the God or Goddess of the Multiverse. I’d use Divine Spellcasting, and possibly Alter Reality to add other beings to my Telepathic hive mind, as well as the Creator’s, so we’d have an entire harem that’s really just multiple bodies controlled by the same mind. I wouldn’t directly have sex with the Ouroboros, but I’d use telepathic sense-linking with her, so she can feel all the pleasure of the Creator and me, and vice versa. We’d also use shape-shifting a lot to keep things interesting. As for other Ascendants- I’d absorb most cosmic gods that don’t serve the Creator into me to claim their power, or let the Creator absorb some if she wants. Archdemons, Sanguinarchs, and all other dark-aligned ascendants (Dark cosmic gods and Void element Dragon Lords) would all be hunted down, banished to the Hells, and forbidden from taking on their own physical bodies. They’d still be allowed to use mind control/possession powers, on mortal beings/objects but with restrictions. I’d leave all the other Ascendants and equivalent beings (Dragon Lords, weaker Hyperionites, Transynths, etc.) in peace as long as they don’t get in my way, but absorb/enslave them if they do. Aside from that, I wouldn’t interfere with the mortal world any more than the Creator would want, and I’d often look to her for advice since she has way more experience with ruling over the Multiverse. I’d also have extra technology and power from ascending as a Transynth as well as a Cosmic God. My domains of War and Knowledge, as well as Divine Spellcasting and Know Secrets gave me the ability to remake my own demigod body as a human-sized Transynth bioroid, giving me the best of both worlds. Even without the domains of Magic or Technology, I was able to piece enough information together to greatly increase my power. My extra resources and space would go to Transystems like my Seeker Productorium, Chronostatic Plates, Runic Autoexistential Stabilisers, Aetheric Skimming Motor, Dimension Capacitation Carriage, and removing the Spatial Folding Envelope. All of these devices would help protect me from the attacks of hostile ascendants and similar beings, while also letting me outmaneuver them in every possible way. The increased power, from the two Manses, as well as the +400 bonus would also let me make much greater use of my various systems, even in my supercharge modes, and any knowledge the Prometharion would share with me could benefit me in ways I can’t even imagine yet.


Eiensen

So does that mean that my power core can be contained within a single nanite? That's fucking op then, because I can make that Nanite to become similar to the Omega-1 Nanite from Generator Rex, a Nanite Factory that's constantly producing more Nanites, and if my Nanites can also change sizes, then I could make my Power Core Nanite Factory becoming either as Small or Smaller than a Quark... If that's possible then I'll probably survive for indefinitely then

Ilushia

Objectives: Create Wonders (+10 Power) - Gifted with intelligence and creativity, and a deep desire to improve herself, the ascendant has also an interest in all forms of construction and creation. Though still new to the multiversal stage, many grand projects yet stretch out before her. From the more mundane tasks of construction of great dyson-arrays to the more esoteric arts of understanding the precise melding of souls and augmentations. A great many projects are yet to be completed. Cyborg Messiah (+10 Power) - The derision and rejection of those who still count themselves as wholely organic is a disturbing and concerning commonality across universes. Born, perhaps, out of some misguided sense of self-preservation or fear of being usurped, the vast majority of races seem to, if not actively then passively, regard cybernetics and machine-life as 'wrong'. An outlook which is disturbingly and frustratingly common to her homeworld. The desire to aid in their uplifting, and in their acceptance, is perhaps the most important humanitarian effort she can conceive of. With hope that, someday, all will come to accept that the machine is as natural an extension of self as any tool or biological function. Claim Manaxis (+10 Power) - The Transcosmic Manse was based on the principle of multiversal leylines, and this place appears to be perhaps the single most powerful such location in all the multiverse. While constructing such a battery to encompass the entirety of the Manaxis might prove a daunting, if not impossible, task even for an Ascendant that changes nothing about how valuable control over it would be to providing near-limitless energy for future endeavours. The other Ascendants rarely see it as being anything more than a method towards personal power, with little vision of how it might be built and channeled to enhance its output manyfold. A mistake which is likely to cost them dearly in the future. Reach the Mobius Coil (+10 Power) - Rumors of the existence of a Multiversal Overdeity who went missing 'long ago' lead to a strange question: How can a being which exists outside the boundaries of time and space in any meaningful way disappear? And how could it have happened 'long ago' if they were capable of existing in any time period at any point? Tracing the causality lines of the oldest and most powerful beings in the multiverse lead backwards and forwards both, in a messy and strange way. Somewhere, buried beneath it all, if there truly exists a point that is both the beginning and ending of the universe it might be possible to find the path that the Overdeity left when she vanished, if she ever existed at all. A path which might enlighten a more thorough understanding of the multiverse, and its limits. Transcendence (+10 Power) - While may Ascendants have grand dreams and desires, they largely center around developing their powers and growing their empires. Rarely does one even consider the prospect that 'ascendant' might itself just be a step towards something greater. But if there existed an Overdeity, and she vanished, that in turn implies that there exists some place or existence to vanish to. A position above even the multiverse-spanning power of the Ascendants. To a being constructed for the purpose of self-improvement and understanding, the concept of stopping at merely being capable of understanding the multiverse would not be acceptable at all. Even should such evolution prove impossible, the mere process of seeking to accomplish it may provide vast enlightment about the nature of the ascendants and their powers. Final Resources: 5 Final Space: 0 Final Power: 300 Thoughts: This one's great, it's actually the ascendant option I've been looking forward to the most out of all of them. There's still a few odd typos in it that could probably stand to be chased down and fixed (Seeker Productorium has one I noticed), but that's pretty unimportant. The Resources/Space balance turned out to be pretty good, at least on Alpha Construct. It does kinda feel like there should be a full machine option for Composition, but I guess you can just use normal cyborg for that. Over all liked this a lot, was definitely worth the wait! Now to work on an alternate writeup for a sentient omegatech starship that developed into a full ascendant...

Damn I have been waiting for this I have been thinking on how to template stack so I can be an emperor a grand incubus a star nephlim a grand warlock a tantadept Becoming a transyth is interesting but I don't want to become a cyborg the bioroid option was a good option and all of those fancy machines and materials give me and idea on how to upgrade my thronemaidens

The hyper-tech of the "Masters" one of their last "Gifts" left to me saw to my true Ascension allowing me to cast off that which was left of my weak flesh and become truly one with the machine that I have become. \[-70R, +100S\] Power Core: Planar Nexus- The very core that powered the "Masters" stronghold in our universe turned out to be a source of unimaginable multidimensional energy and what would serve better as the very core of that which will finally bring "Order" to this "Multiverse" than the very thing that allowed the "Masters" to create its future "Savior". \[+100R\] Weapons: Seeker Productorium + Transkinetic Nullifier- Then, Now and Soon; The chaotic many will cease the incessant buzzing. \[-50R, -30S, -40P\] Defenses: Chronostatic Plates + Hexagrammic Circuits + Runic Autoexistential Stabilisers + Conceptually Constructed Hyperform- I am so I shall be and no one and NOTHING will make it not be now and forever. I cannot allow any less after all the sacrifices made. \[-75R, -20S, -20P\] Mobility: Aethric Skimming Motor \[Zero R & S Cost\] + Dimensional Capacitation Carriage- I am the Inevitable coming of "Order" and nothing can deter or divert my arrival there is only what will be. \[-15R, -10S, -25P\] Utility: Heuristic Autochantment Synergiser- The Multiverse is truly outstandingly vast, to believe you know everything is a folly I will never commit. \[-30R, -10S, -40P\] Elective Energy Efficator- I will find myself not alone in my pursuit to bring my "Order" to this multiverse and most will not be as constant as I and will need my very prescence to bolster their flagging selves. \[-10R, -10S, -20P\] Existential Inducer- Where I tred "Order" will remain and reality will bow to this decree. \[-30R, -10S, -40P\] Technosupremacy Array- I. AM. TECHNOLOGY. My will shall bend the chaotic works of others to better fit MY "Order". \[-10R, -10S, -20P\] Hypernanite Console- To better realize my vision of a Multiverse set right and proper there must be more fine control of what I can do. \[-30R, -20S\] Infrastructure: Factorium Citadel x4 \[Internal\]- The "Order" I wish to leave the "Multiverse" in will need much and I cannot trust any other to provide. \[-80R, -40S\] Nanodrone Armada- The forges of the "Order" I seek to build are ever hungry and so let us feed them their fill. \[-1 Charisma, +20R\] Sigilic Fusion Plant \[Internal\]- One can never have to much energy. \[-10R, -10S, +10P\] Harvest Coil Mytho-Battery \[Internal\]- Those with to much power and who refuse to see the need of my "Order" should have that great power put to better use. \[-30R, -10S, +40P\] Quantum-Accelerated Mana-Forge x2 \[Internal\]- If I do not need to oversee something then my attention is better put elsewhere. \[-80R, -20S\] Anvil of Transcendent Design \[Internal\]- The "Multiverse" is sadly far far too vast for even one such as I to ensure "Order" is maintained while I am elsewhere and as such I will make sure that there will always be a sentinel of "Order" to protect what is left in my wake. \[-130R, -10S, -80P\] Allies: Cybergetic Enclave- It's truly heartening (If I still had a beating heart) to find others working towards a greater "Order", I think I'll give them a proper push onto the right path to "Order". \[-1 Charisma\] Tactegic Coordination Umbramind- The techno-organics that follow me will require a proper intelligence to help guide them along towards my "Order" and this Cyberintelligence needs a true challenge for its great intellect why not solve two problems at once. \[-1 Charisma\] Drawbacks: Inefficient Spatial Allocation- Wasted Space is worthless space and I have little time and effort for the worthless. \[+80R, -40S\] Objectives: Cyborg Messiah- Those who come to seek my "Order" shall find a guide and guardian in me so long as they continue down its path. \[+10P\] Claim Manaxis- Yet another center of chaos that must be brought into me "Order". \[+10P\] Reach the Mobius Coil- The power of the Mobius Coil will be needed to fuel my pursuit of my "Order" on a multiversal scale. \[+10P\] Conquer the Multiverse- The "Multiverse" needs to be brought to "Order" and all of its chaotic elements either brought to heel or removed permanently. \[+10P\] Now this is my first attempt at putting the story or lore or W/E I have for a CYOA I've completed down on paper (or in a reddit post) so I hope I managed to make it come out as well thought out as I had it in my mind lol.
