Hi I'm here from the banner ad and thought why not. I can't decide between setting A and E so I'll pick the one with fewer votes right now.

Welcome! I'm glad to hear they're working. I hope the game lives up to expectations.

If you guys want some decent webnovels in the genre that this CYOA will (probably? I am, after all, not the author) draw inspiration from, I'd personally suggest A Will Eternal or Library of Heaven's Path.

The real power behind countless overlords

Lord Zedd-Repulsa posted:

A because animal buddies sound like an awesome start to an adventure.
For everyone who wanted honor duels, don't worry. There will still be lots of those.

It is midday, and the light of the world Yolk shines brightly on Aestia Valley.

Your mother screams as you enter the world, and you scream with her. The tribe midwife, Zhuchansa, holds you tenderly. She swiftly inspects you. Then she tests the range of motion of your limbs. Then she pricks you a needle which you kick out of her hand. Satisfied that you are whole and healthy Zhuchansa presents you to your father. "Congratulations!"

1) "It's a":
A "boy."
B "girl."

Though you do not know it yet, you are his first child. He looks at the midwife with an expression of confused panic before reluctantly reaching out to hold you.

2) He holds you up in front of his face and you:
C Hit him in the nose
D Kick him in the chin
E Vomit on him
F Scream
G Cry
H Burble happily
I Smile quietly

The clan matriarch comes forward from where she was observing your birth, as she witnesses every birth in the tribe. Despite being almost 100 years old, she looks only 10 years older than your mother. She takes you from your father and places you on a pile of bedding beside a baby. Too young even to roll over, you still manage to rock your head to the side and look at this strange creature.

3) The baby beside you is a:
M Water Leopard. These giant ambush predators are among both the most powerful and fastest animals in the valley even without using their water-aspected madra. Its fur is a light blue with brown spots, like a waterfall with the occasional rock sticking through it. It looks back at you haughtily for a few seconds and then dismisses you from its attention. Alone among the tribal animals of Aestia valley, it uses only one aspect of madra. Some say it is too proud to stoop to using a second aspect. Others say it doesn't need to because of its many physical advantages.
N Corazon Chamois (Goat-Antelope). Tiny horn buds stick up from its forehead. It stops trying to eat the bedding to look at you. Curious about you it bleats. Corazon Chamois can climb almost anything and have Plant and Earth aspected madra. Their partners are the best alchemists in the valley.
O Silver Bear. The largest animals in the valley they are even stronger than the Water Leopards, but also slower. Utterly fearless, these creatures have Metal and Dream aspected madra. It does not respond when you are placed beside it because, despite having only been born moments ago, it has already fallen asleep.
P Marbled Polecat (think mink or weasel). The marbled polecat cub is tiny; barely larger than even your small hands. It is one of the most cunning animals in the valley and is greatly feared for both its boundless bloodlust and ability to slip past any obstacle. Shadows cling to the cub, trying to hide and protect it even at such a young age. As it ages, it will begin to accumulate Death madra each time it kills.
Q Crystal Butterfly. The butterfly is just now crawling out of its chrysalis. Beautiful wings catch and shatter the light into a million fascinating colors. Though you can't see it yet, everyone else in the room can see the Light madra from the world Yolk soaking into the butterfly. Partners to a crystal butterfly share its intuitive understanding of Air madra.

Your clan matriarch settles into lotus position at the foot of your bedding facing you. She holds one of her hands over each of you. You stretch out to grab her hand, but it is just out of your reach. Eventually, you tire and stop squirming. The matriarch sits still and silent, breathing rhythmically. You are just about to fall asleep when she moves. She places her thumb on your forehead, right between your eyes. Her pinkie on the same hand touches the spirit animal beside you, also on the forehead right between the eyes. Suddenly, you hear a voice in your head: “Hello?”

4)You reply:
V Hello - friendly but cautious
W Greetings honored sibling - respectfully
X Welcome friend! - warmly friendly
Y Get out of my mind! - angry
Z ha ha ha, you're my slave now!
write in

The Matriarch withdraws her hand and then rolls you over to face the other baby. She lectures you: "Child of man, this spirit animal is your sibling and your partner now. You will feed it, keep it warm , shelter it from the elements, and share your madra with it all your days." Then she turns the spirit animal baby to face you and lectures it. "Spirit child, this human is your sibling and your partner now. You will protect it, help it gather vital essence, and share your madra with it all your days." The Matriarch gestured at the midwife and Zhuchansa picked you up and carried you to sleep next to your mother. The matriarch picked up your new sibling and placed it next to you. You quickly fall asleep, sheltered between your mother and your spirit beast sibling. Your first day has been long and tiring.

For your consideration, though:



Does any other animal have cute facial expressions like this? Can any other animal help you plant potato to help you survive brutal winter? Can they give you a hug? Will they make this sound when you cuddle?

Make the right choice... or bear the consequences!
