Nah. You're all equally screwed. Orden won't save you bastards this time.
Incredible how Angel's blurb is strong enough to overcome the malus of not having a hex code. Don't people want a protagonist that's at least somewhat Streetwise? And what of the perverse incentivizes inherent in a magic that trades faith for power?

Not to mention taking a cute innocent angel and forcing them to be a Streetwalker! You people are truly malicious...
That's the best part. Turn our sweet and innocent Angel into the next Sauron.

That they'll have come from such humble, noble beginnings only makes their eventual tragic downfall to villainy all the sweeter, does it not? The finer the spirit, the more ruin awaits it indeed.

Offhand if you had to rate the starting choices for this quest by how many orbs they'd be worth in the normal Cyoa what would they be Birdsie? Also you know how much the disadvantages are worth orb wise if this was the original Cyoa?

All of them are more or less on par with each other, or at least designed to be so. The ones that have harsher drawbacks usually have better trade-offs as well.

That's good to know but I meant if compared to the worth of orbs in the original Cyoa how much are the plans worth here? Like 4 orbs was enough for eventual multiversal power for one of the original choices for instance.

Generally, these votes and argumentation for them shouldn't be considered under the terms of external lore sources, as to make the setting more available to newcomers. Most of them are around a single orb, though, if that; perhaps fractionally more or less, depending on who you ask.

SB: birdsie, quick question: can the angel throw off any trappings of "looking like a person" to turn into the eye wheel?
Birdsie:
Eventually yes.
Birdsie —
Shekhinah's angels are pretty damn close to what you can expect from the Wikipedia articles on angelic hierarchies. But you start off as just a cute little humanoid with fluff-wings.
An emotional support angel.

Almost definitely. "Oh Shekhinah, look at the little ponies! They are so cute!"
The Griever would contemplate what manner of abominable Phantasm created these tortured beasts and locked them within a small box, and then consider smashing the TV to release these creatures from their prison - or not, for you can never predict if they might hunger for human flesh.
