Meta Essence CYOA 101

Essence of the Emperor Ascendant

Drinking this regal-appearing essence of pure power sets you on the path to becoming a true ruler and exemplar of humanity, with all the limitless potential the Emperor of Mankind held before his tragic fate.

* You are now a Perpetual, a variant branch of Humanity that possesses true immortality. As the mightiest of the Perpetuals your extraordinarily rapid and efficient cellular regeneration is capable of almost immediately healing any injury up to and including your complete disintegration. This regeneration even persists after your clinical death, allowing you to self-resurrect after being killed. Only true soul-death is capable of actually ending you permanently, although sufficiently ludicrous physical overkill can delay your resurrection for a time. And you of course possess an infinitely long lifespan, an absolute immunity to things such as diseases and toxins, the ability to survive for incredibly long periods of time without sustenance of any kind, maintaining perfect physical readiness without effort, and similar little tricks.

* Your soul is also exalted and magnified, starting out with the collective strength and power of all the psykers of ancient humanity and only growing from there. You have the potential for every psyker ability known, hinted, or even vaguely implied for the Emperor of Mankind or any lesser psyker in the lore of 40k and a full understanding of your powers and perfect control over them. With time and practice you may develop even more advanced applications of your psyker abilities or learn how to wield them with optimal tactical efficiency.

* Your mental and physical abilities are likewise perfected and exalted, removing all prior infirmities or derangements and making you supremely talented at any field of endeavor that you could possibly know or do. Even with barely any training or experience at all you could still easily match even peak humans in specialties that they had trained obsessively at for their entire lives, and should you devote actual effort to self-improvement then you could rapidly progress from there, Likewise, your strength, speed, resilience, intellect, perceptiveness, and other such attributes start out already well into the superhuman range and may also be improved.

* Your body is likewise altered in a manner befitting your new and glorious state of existence. You become a perfected human in all physical aspects. Your 'default' form is that of a human being (if an exceptionally attractive and impossibly fit human being), not an eight-foot-tall demigod-construct, but it would be a trivial feat for you to use your biokinetic talents to reshape you into that form or any number of other humanoid forms either temporarily or permanently.

* Your mind and soul are adapted to handle eternity as well as your body. Your memory is perfect, with infinite storage, perfect indexing, instant recall, protection from tampering or harmful memories, and other such features. You are fully acclimated to a perpetual existence, leaving you with your full capacity to feel and act according to your sense of ethics while still being able to accept things such as the passage of time, the inevitability of outliving mortal friends and acquaintances, and the weight of ages without excessive regret or pain. Time will not dull your edge, inactivity will not cause you to degrade, and entropy alone will never bring you down.

* Your willpower and resistance to corruption are absolute, limitless, and unbreakable. No amount of distress, suffering, or difficulty can make you hesitate for the slightest instant. No physical, mental or spiritual taint can touch you, however subtle or terrible. No force in existence can beguile or subvert your mind by any means whatsoever, not even memetically. Should the Ruinous Powers themselves all assail you in concert with their worst tortures for an eternity of eternities, you would not so much as blink. This indomitable sense of self does not make you incapable of admitting error or maintaining rational habits of thought; it merely means that nothing will ever dictate your choices save your own free will. You may conceivably be killed, as nigh-impossibly difficult a feat that would be, but you can never be broken.

* Should you happen to enter the Warhammer setting your powers and nature would interact with the Warp in the same way that the Emperor's does, including his ability to help create other psykers. In any other cosmology your powers are independent of the Warp which almost certainly doesn't exist there anyway, and it may or may not be possible for you to foster and unlock psyker potential in others depending on local conditions.

* Most wondrously of all, your ultimate potential knows no limits. You will never reach a point where you cannot grow any further, never hit a plateau beyond which you cannot improve, never be doomed to physical, mental, or spiritual stagnation. The only limits upon your growth are those that you knowingly choose to place on yourself and the ultimate limits that apply to any sentient being in the particular cosmology you inhabit.

Essence of the Broken Limiter

By consuming this essence, you shatter all obstacles on your path to power.

* Your natural limiter, the factor that dictates that all beings can only grow their strength to a certain level, has been entirely broken and removed. This doesn't just apply to your physical strength but to all aspects of your being, whether physical, mental, spiritual, etc., and also applies to all abilities, powers, skills, etc. you may come to possess. Your body has been released from the constraints of normal logic - your muscles no longer dictate how much you can lift, the size of your brain no longer limits how much information it can store or how rapidly it can process things, etc. Given sufficient time or effort you there is no barrier you cannot pass, no level of opposition you cannot surmount.

* Even when doing absolutely nothing you still passively grow your power, surpassing each previous day's version of you by a small increment. This rate of growth continuously increases exponentially whenever you are training or practicing your abilities, or are even slightly challenged by any opposition.

* Your vast strength allows you to resist or outright ignore the abilities of those weaker than you. Whether it be a punch to the face or something as esoteric as an archmage's spells or an eldritch being's soul destruction, all such things are futile against you if not backed by sufficient power to overwhelm your limitlessly expanding might. If you wished you could rapidly evolve past the frailties of mere mortality, even to the point of being able to breathe in space (or beyond).

* Your strength will always be a blessing, not a curse. You are entirely immune to the "world of cardboard" problem and may always perfectly restrain yourself to precisely the limit that you wish to exert yourself and not more. You are immune to madness or insanity of any kind and your mind and soul may not be controlled, leashed, sealed, etc. by anyone. You are still capable of feeling emotions normally, but they will never overwhelm your ability to exercise sound judgement. Lastly, unlike a certain bald man, you are never more than mildly bored and may still take pleasure from life regardless of how much you grow.

* At the time you first drink this Essence you will be given the opportunity to re-sculpt your body to your desired aesthetics and idealized self-image. You will also be cured of any and all physical ailments, psychological trauma, and other unwanted mental conditions, ailments, disabilities, etc. You will have perfect control over your fertility and other minor, related buffs.

Essence of Humanity Unchained

By consuming this Essence you remove all limits on the Human Will and what it can eventually achieve, giving you the following benefits:

Regardless of whatever happens, you will always remain as "human" - in whatever sense of the word that means to you - as you desire to be. As a physical baseline, you will receive a perfectly healthy human body of what you would consider ideal appearance. You start out at roughly fifty percent above peak human strength, above peak human toughness and speed, and with peak human senses. You will recover at least several times more rapidly than normal from any injury or illness that does not kill you outright. Your intellectual baseline will likewise be increased so that you are a truly multi-faceted genius and at least as smart and talented as any human that has ever lived. You will be a true Renaissance man, able to apply the full force of your intellect to any or all fields of endeavor that might strike your fancy with equal ease. Suppose you would already be even theoretically capable of learning how to do something without the benefit of this Essence, whether it be a normal property of the setting or a unique power or ability you already possessed. In that case, your ability to learn and develop that thing is now expanded exponentially. You can explore new modes of thought and new techniques, or learn how to experience new sensations, much more easily than those around you. You are a single-repetition learner for anything that others could teach you and when attempting to discover hidden depths of mastery within yourself or teach yourself then you will need at least two orders of magnitude less time than a 'normal' genius would. Being Humanity Unchained means that you are zero risk of ever becoming overspecialized or trapped in an evolutionary dead end. No matter what you learn you can always choose to learn new things if you wish, even if people could not normally learn both. Likewise, you will always be capable of approaching new concepts without being unconsciously biased or constrained by what you already know and instead judging it fairly upon its merits. As Humanity Unchained all limitations are lifted from your body, mind, and soul. No matter which quality of yours you are trying to improve, you will always find new ways to advance yourself a reasonable amount in a reasonable timeframe. Ultimately all it takes is you being willing to put in the effort, and you will always be able to muster sufficient willpower to be able to push yourself to improve or encourage others to do likewise. Optional: Humanity Unchained is intended to be a harbinger of what all humans may one day become. You may with sufficient effort and example eventually help anyone for whom you had the responsibility of ruling, raising, training, or engineering to become Unchained themselves. Likewise, all of your genetic descendants will also be Unchained, and their descendants in turn, ad infinitum.

Essence of Skill Mastery

 By consuming this bright gray liquid you gain the ability to learn and master virtually any skillset to an ideal degree of mastery, one not normally attainable for even the most exceptional candidates.

 * You have a near-limitless capacity to learn and master any skill or feat that you could possibly execute without openly defying the laws of physics (unless, of course, you already have a power or ability that allows you to ignore that particular law of physics). You require only the most minimal or widely available introductory knowledge to begin the process of independently reproducing the entire available body of knowledge on a given topic and then extending it even further.

 * The speed at which you acquire, master, and create skills and techniques is nigh-inconceivable. You could attain in mere minutes a level of proficiency that a normal genius would require lifetimes to attain. Furthermore, you will never forget any of your knowledge or later become incapable of your peak accomplishments, meaning that with time you will inevitably become a veritable Swiss army knife of incredible scientific knowledge, Olympic feats of strength and skill, and much, much more.

 * You can manually control your own motivations, totally divulging your will from the limits of your physical body. You can ignore anything keeping you from your current goals, remain unflinchingly motivated to complete tasks despite lack of rest or sustenance, and simply ignore pain and other adverse conditions. Your body may deteriorate and your mind shrivel away, but your will is absolute. This will not affect your morality unless you wish it to.

 * Your cognition processing is enhanced to where you can instantaneously perform high-level problem solving and critical thinking. You can instantly solve even the most difficult, complicated or advanced mathematical or geometric problems, as long as you understand it in the first place. You can also multitask with ease, keeping mental track of multiple factors without difficulty. Your memory is truly perfect, though you may choose to selectively let things fade.

 * If it is at all possible for you to perform a physical feat given your knowledge, genetic composition, metabolism, and physical dimensions then you may reliably complete that feat every single time. When you are completing a longer task the speed at which you work and cogitate can accelerate exponentially over time, and are physically capped only by the hard limits of your biology. In minutes you could be in a state of transcendent genius, or be moving with the speed and precision of factory automation in every task you complete.

 * Simply desiring to evaluate a scenario will allow your mind to utilize all of the information at its disposal to immediately generate as many potential solutions to the problem as it can. For example, reacting to a combat situation would have your mind almost instantly generate thousands of possible escape routes and contingency responses for virtually any imaginable combination of powers and abilities that your opponent might possess, up to the degree that any effective response could be possible at all for you given the existing conditions. You may only use information you are actually aware of to develop these possible solution sets, and your conclusions are still potentially vulnerable to ignorance or disinformation if these would apply to your situation.

 * The type and amount of skills and disciplines you may potentially master is literally all-encompassing. You are by no means limited only to accomplishments in science and technology; in less than a day you could become history's greatest master of martial arts, or its greatest detective, or its most talented artist, or most charismatic leader, or greatest strategist, or any similar feat.

 * Your potential scientific accomplishments are equally as unlimited; a short period of study could allow you to cure the deadliest diseases, or build starships in your backyard, or solve the mysteries of genetic recoding, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, or any other possible technology. Should you care to push the boundaries then in a matter of months your discoveries could advance civilization to its extremes or make you into a transhumanist god. Who but you could imagine what might be possible for you after years or decades.

 * You become fully aware of any flaws or errors in any task you have performed at the moment such an error is committed and you will never make the same mistake twice if you are at all capable of avoiding it. This essentially guarantees an entirely flawless end product in any feat of design or computation and exponentially minimizes the possibility of natural error as you perform basic intellectual or physical tasks. This can be exploited to learn how to perform tasks you are completely unfamiliar with via trial-and-error.

 * Your potential mastery will not be limited by an unsound mind or body. At the time you drink this Essence you are cured of all physical health issues and genetic defects and are restored to the prime of life in a body of an appearance based on your desires and idealized self-image. You are likewise cured of all unwanted mental conditions, ailments, disabilities, etc.

 * For all intents and purposes your intelligence is at least peak human in every aspect where your abilities do not already exceed that level, from creativity to perceptiveness/attention to detail to pattern recognition to anything else relevant. You can easily comprehend difficult topics and concepts, follow the smallest details to the most obscure solutions, and there is no concept you can't grasp eventually so long as you have at least some evidence to help you define it. Despite all this you will retain your essential 'self' and personality, without risking the death of identity that can accompany transcendence.

 * In summary, you are essentially become the Overman. Nigh-impossible scientific and engineering achievements, defeating a small army of opponents via martial prowess alone, easily amassing billions of dollars via sheer financial skill, all this and so much more is now within your grasp.

Essence of the Gacha

○ You have the ability to randomly get one item, or person of importance in fiction per roll.

○ These things will always appear on cards and can be summoned out of it. However they can't revert back into cards once done.

○ You have access to a list where it details every single card, and option in order to narrow down searches.

○ Cards can be used to increase the strength of a summon item or person, however these cards will be destroyed in the process. This increase is determined by the rarity of the card.

○ The rarity of cards are determined by the strength and the importance of the being or item.

○ Items that are summoned through the gatcha will always work no matter what universe you are in, and can never be used against you in any way. These items are always in perfect condition, and will not degrade in any way. They can only be used by you, and the only way for anyone else to use them is that they must have direct permission from you. These items are summonable and will appear by your side no matter what. Items that require things such as energy sources or ammunition will have infinite amounts of them, however you can't siphon or use them for any other purpose.

○ People that are summoned through the gatcha will always be loyal to you, no matter what their personality or alignment is and can't negatively effect, hurt or kill you in any way. If they are ever killed or injured, they will immediately be restored back to full health after the battle is done and return to your side. They can disobey orders that they don't like so long as these orders don't directly involve you in any way.

○ You will have a bond relationship with the people you summon and can check anytime what level the relationship is at. Bond relationships start at 0, which means that you are strangers to them, and end with 10, which means that the person is completely in love with you and will do anything for you. Anybody summoned through the gatcha will have a bond relationship of 0. By spending time with them, you can quickly increase your relationship with them to a 10.

○ You get 1 gatcha point per day. You can get more gatcha points by paying the equivalent of 1 dollar for 1 gatcha point. However, there is a limit to that as you can only spend the equivalent of 100 dollars per month. Don't want you developing a problem.

○ You have three modes in the gatcha. The first mode is where you have two options to spend your gatcha points: you can spend 3 gatcha points which will always gives you a 3 star card or have the chance to get a 4 or higher star card, or you can spend 30 gatcha points which will give you 10 cards, guaranteed to get at least one 3 or higher star person and one 4 or higher star card, however in the beginning you are limited to just getting 3 to 5 star cards. This limitation will gradually disappear as you use the gatcha. The second mode allows you to get 10 cards for free once per day, however you are limited to 1 through 3 star cards. The third is an alternate mode of the first one, where you can get copies of items and people that exist in the universe you are in, however you must pay 6 or 60 gatcha points to summon the cards instead of the 3 or 30 you would normally pay in the first mode, must face the same limitation as the first mode, and can only get cards that exist in that universe. This mode can only work if the universe you are in has 4 to higher star cards that are based on the items and people in it.

○ You can decide on how this Essence manifests.
