Worm CYOA v.3 into Star Wars!
Added 2020-07-13 02:35:15 +0000 UTC
So, somehow, my Idea Suggestion got the second highest vote.
O.o
That means that as I’ve promised, all of you, my patrons, get to vote on what this build will be! To make this easy for all of us to process, I’ll set down some basic guidelines as to how the build will be chosen.
Essentially, I’ll be converting the Worm CYOA v.3 into a Star Wars-Worm CYOA.
-VB-
Guideline!
Limits on Power:
Skitter Mode, so we can only get Lesser Powers.
Case-53:
Unless we look distinctly Frankenstein-ish and/or horrifying, it’ll learn us no points in a galaxy full of diverse sentient lifeforms.
Enemy:
If you choose this, then I will build this.
Reincarnation:
Random reincarnation enabled, memory-less reincarnation enabled, Anakin Skywalker (main protagonist) Reincarnation disabled.
Geas:
Same as stated in v.3
Pint-Sized:
Same as stated in v.3
Wanted:
1 pt-ers are local governments, minor light/dark Force sects, powerful planetary criminal organizations (any criminal organization smaller than a city-wide one does not earn us points)
2 pt-ers are Jedi Order, Galactic Republic, Trade Federation, Hutt Cartels, Sith Order, etc. The “main line” of Sith Order will be considered a 2 pt-er due to their connections.
Without a Map:
Don’t give me a reason to land you on Nar Shadda or Coruscant underlevels.
Lucas? What's a Lucas?
Forgot to add this. If we take this, then we won't know anything about Star Wars. It'll be interesting to say the least.

Comment on this post your build, and the one with either the most likes or most copied will be chosen. If two builds have the same amount of likes/votes, then I’ll toss a coin.
I will be posting other stories for the next three days, but after the third, I'll work on this. If no build is suggested or chosen, then I'll be choosing it :P
Comments
Also to show I voted, I go with build 1.

2020-07-14 09:27:52 +0000 UTCBuild 1. BioTinker Space Empire+Biotics. Advantages: Biotics (+2). Krogan or Human, whatever you prefer. Mass Effect technology for +1 more isn't needed, as Star Wars in overall is better. Twins: Nilbog (+3). Nilbog Power is upgraded in a way that once created, creature doesn't 'rot' with time like with original Nilbog power. But biology does affect lifetime of a creature. So if MC created a creature with only 2 years lifespam, it dies after 2 years. And obviously Monster Girls, as Monster Girls are an awesome fetish ;). This build allows to create his own minions, and biotechnology. Possibly best build for Space Empire building here. And it allows to reasonably easy to create new civilization as long as biomass is around. Twins: Bonesaw (+2). It synergizes well with Nilbog powerset. Nilbog powerset works well in creating creatures or humanoids from the scratch, but it's not great at modifying what is there. Bonesaw fixes this. Also it applies supernatural surgery skills, and ability to apply tissues, etc. to potential volunteers to power them up. Special Snowflake (+1). Pretty obvious. Comic Book Pretty (+1). Also pretty obvious. Wildcard (+1), Spatial Messaging, Rank 7. This little Wildcard Power may come in handy if our future Emperor needs to communicate very long range with his units, and not use technology (that may be hacked) to do so. Disdvantages: Enemy (+3). Powerful enemy for MC. +3 is ALOT by this CYOA standards, so yeah, enjoy. Geas (+1), Claustrophobia. Wanted (+2), Jedi Order. Wanted (+2), Galactic Republic. Lucas? What's a Lucas? (+2). It should make this more interesting ;). Build 2. Libriomancy Menace. I think this build may be a bit too strong, but I'll try to balance it ;). Libriomancy (+2). Core of this build. I think we all know how this works. Wildcard (+1), Literary Creation, Rank 3. This rank doesn't allow to create any supernatural written forms like books, so no magic books. But it allows to recreate everything that isn't supernatural. So those fictional works or wikipedia articles MC knows from previous life on our Earth, and turns them into books? They work. And Libriomancy makes up for lack of 'supernatural' qualities here. And how he will remember all those titles, articles, etc. from his past life? Well... Wildcard (+1), Enhanced Memory, Rank 6. Pretty simple power that allows to remember with unnatural accuracy information from his previous life. Twins: Dredge (+2). Allows to draw knowledge from inanimate objects or people in area. Twins: Victor (+2). Pretty obvious. Skill thief. Charles Atlas Superpowers (+1). Pretty obvious. May be replaced with Cauldron Vials, if you prefer it this way. Special Snowflake (+1). Also pretty obvious. Disadvantages: Enemy (+2). Enemy always make things more fun. Geas (+1). Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Geas (+1). Pathological lying. Wanted (+2). Trade Federation. Wanted (+2). Hutt Cartels. Lucas? What's a Lucas? (+2). This build can handle it :P. Build 3. Old Style Knight Blacksmith. This build is least likely work on massive Galaxy/Empire level, but this one also fits slice of life the best. Or going solo. Wildcard (+1), Enhanced Crafting, Rank 8. Pretty much allows supernatural level of old-tech crafting. So no cars, etc. But armors, hammers, etc? Sure, it works. On this rank artifact crafting is possible. Wildcard (+1), Inscription Casting, Rank 7. Pretty much an ability to cast magic by runes, seals, paper inscriptions, etc. So in other words magic casted via drawing or writing. Wildcard (+1), Weapon Proficiency, Rank 5. Lower tier supernatural ability to use weapons. This rank makes it weaker then for example Jedi proficiency in weapon fighting, but it may improve with time. Twins: Arbiter (+2). Mostly for ability to learn new languages very fast. Twins: Cask (+2). Synergizes well with Enhanced Crafting, so in this case it's potions/elixirs. Man of Mystery (+1). Obvious. Special Snowflake (+1). Obvious. Comic Book Pretty (+1). Obvious. Disadvantages: Geas (+2). Can't use Star Wars weaponry, unless there is no other choice. If he tries, it electrocutes or burns him, depending on a choice. Weapon Proficiency doesn't apply here obviously. Geas (+1). Thalassophobia. Fear of deep water. In his previous life he drowned to death, and it left a really bad impression. Geas (+1). Needs to craft something at least once per 3 days. If he doesn't do it, he looses access to his power for 3 days, but may still use his equipment that he already created. Enemy (+2). We all love good antagonists. Wanted (+2). Jedi Order. Wanted (+2). Sith Order. I hope this will be NSFW? There doesn't need to be a lot of it, but once in a while wouldn't hurt. Also posted this on Patreon. What you prefer is up to you ;).
