Inactive [LP CYOA] Overlord

Still, I want to play as a humanoid, and I do not want to re-enter this conflict out of our own volition, which we might be forced to do if we take a demon's form.
I doubt we'd be forced either way. But I think people would show more trust in us if we don't look like the embodiment of evil. Well, humans would anyway.

And I hope you aren't going to try and make peace here. We're the overlord. We need to pillage and stuff. Well, that's a lot of work, so we can have our troops do that. But we do need to capture maidens. Or have people capture them. Preferably we'll get other maidens to capture maidens, so that the maidens will be nice and fresh when they come to us. Don't want them sullied and all.

I want to be free of them. They are not my masters, they are not my enemies, they are nothing to me.

I guess I want to be an angel partly out of a desire to troll them a bit, and partly out of symbolism.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm kinda getting sick of FREEDUM protagonists. Ean rebelled against the Masters, Jing rebelled against the stuffy unbro orthodox sects, next time I want a fanatical Cthulu cultist, goddamnit! But here the concept makes sense, I guess.

Doesn't this present kind of a double-edged sword either way? If we look like the literal embodiment of evil, wouldn't getting troops to do the pillaging in the first place be much easier? I mean, I'm assuming it's not often you see an angel with a halo over his head leading the forces of darkness to strike at the surface world.

Probably not if his intention is to start a cult around his angelic charm. Though if he is, he might actually find it easier making the Cult of the Overbaby instead. :lol:

But no, regardless of whether you're angel, demon or dragon, you will not be walking around the human cities undisguised unless you want to draw attention to you, and they're not going to be inclined to worship you either until you conquer them thoroughly.

He would rebel against the oppression of the Holy Inquisition. :lol:

It is a basic Codexian need and a good narrative device. :M

We'll have our troops camouflage as pixies. No one will suspect a thing. If anyone asks, we are escorting maidens to the fairy ring for a disco.

Just Angel Facts #31: Just like certain types of fish, the light from angel halos are a vital part of communication between angels. They emit a gentle pink light when the angel is in a romantic mood.

That's embarassing. And we are constantly in a romantic mood. Can we dye it? :M

inb4 transdemon characters.

It will probably be deep red for us, given how "romantic" we are...

The light will probably track the state of our boner:
gold: neutral
pink: meets a woman
red: she has large breasts
blood red: she is naked... Oh my, look at the time. :rance:

I couldn't help but notice you didn't mention slime there. Perfect slime shape-shifting abilities confirmed! Why choose one of the other forms when you can choose them all. Today a majestic angel/dragon tomorrow a gigantic singular cock. This slime lord option is a real winner none of the other ones offer this much possibilities. vote slime!

NO! slimes don't contain flesh you cretin. And slimes can stay hard just fine. Just think of rock-slimes or hard metal-slimes!

I, uh... is that a thing? I lack the imagination, you'd have to show me one.

A deep, throbbing purple is the mating signal. :M
So how attached is that thing to our head? Is it anything like this?

Or can we do something more interesting with it?

OR we could step it up a notch.
Kyle Theseus: "It can all end, right now... cry out... 'mercy'."
Crowd: "Mercy, mercy!"
Kyle Theseus: "Cry out, just say it: 'Mercy'."
Minions: "Mercy, sire, mercy..."
Tsun-Princess: "Mercy, b-baka. Hell, just say it..."
Kyle Theseus: 'The prisoner wishes to say a word!'
Crowd: 'Mercy, mercy, mercy!'

Several moments of dramatic silence as the music builds.

The Overlord: 'Puuuussssyyyy!'

Defeated, Theseus nods to the executioner... The Overlord's life comes to an end, and as he slips from this world a single pair of worn panties falls from his grasp...

Evangelion Angels are great lazy magical assholes. Too much effort to get up? Get rid of gravity! Massive army trying to inconvenience you? Render their weapons completely ineffectual and ignore them! Too lazy to kill the Sorcerer actually capable of harming you? Reach out and touch their soul, forcibly exploring all of their memories and interrogating them from within the prison of their own mind until their sense of self is utterly destroyed and they dissolve into slime! Irrevocably fucked up the conquest of a world? Initiatie Third Impact to wipe out all life and move on to the next one, because we can't be bothered to clean up our messes! Eva Angels are best Angels.
