Prologue:
-
Personal IS (0CP) All players get a free Infinite Stratos Mecha personalized to them. See the Infinite Stratos section after the Item section for details on how to create this mecha.
-
IS Education and Training (Infinite Stratos) (0CP) The Infinite Stratos are terribly complicated things. It takes a lot of knowledge of mathematics and various sciences to operate one and even more to maintain the machines. That's not even getting into the trained reflexes and coordination you need to be able to use an IS for effective combat. Usually, you'd learn this over time in school but as a special consideration, you'll have all that knowledge and skill popped into your head, free of charge. You won't be matching an Ace but you can be assured of being proficient.
Build your own Infinite Stratos in the Jump Document. The options are half the jump document and not copied here as a result.
Chapter 1:
Beniemiya (Fate/Legends: Japan)- 50 CP.
It might just be something in the water, both what you're drinking and what you serve to the guests that adore every meal you make. You're a savant when it comes to making meals, not just limited to Eastern dishes either. With a little experimentation, you can make almost anything into a mouth-watering feast for both the taste buds and the eyes. The real problem isn't making a good meal but keeping all these greedy pigs from eating you out of house and home. Don't even try making hamburgers around any blonde ladies, it never ends well.
Now, while cooking good food is a prize well worth it, you do also have a more useful aspect here. By channeling magical energy into your tools and ingredients as you work, you're able to 'enchant' the meal with a variety of useful effects. A hearty beef stew that lets a warrior heal their wounds much faster than normal, sugary sweets that give people the speed of the wind, a mighty hamburger that temporarily bulges the muscles to greater heights. Even negative effects are possible if you want to taint your food that way. They only last for a temporary period and the effects tend to be fairly weak without a lot of mana put in but it makes your food all the more popular.
Blossoming Sun (Fate/Legends: Japan)- Free
You had a fortunate birth, whatever you end up being, and find yourself above average for these lands. Japan is not particularly a bastion of mystical heroes in the way of Greece or Britain. Indeed, many of the legends to be found following are made from incredible skill or the command of many soldiers instead of personal feats of might and magic. But even these skillful heroes do tend to stand above the other poppies.
Your body is naturally on the higher end for human fitness, ably competing in modern athletics without any training required. Magically, you possess a number of high-quality circuits, equal to the much later coming Tohsaka heir. A prodigy in those times but still notable even a thousand years prior. You lack training for now but magic is not so hidden as it becomes in the modern-day, with the presence of spiritual temples and Onmyouji practitioners.
As a quirk of this land, you also can summon a wide range of aesthetic effects, even when they make no sense. A flurry of cherry blossoms on the wind as you make an entrance, the sun shining down the red rays of a sunset even mid-morning to dramatize your battles. One might claim you're in some sort of samurai movie, with how many dramatic effects tend to occur around you.
Habitat Constructor (Subnautica)- 50 CP.
As long as the materials are present in your subspace inventory, the Habitat Constructor is capable of creating robust outposts and domiciles. Due to complex structural requirements, the constructor is unable to build anything that isn't anchored to the ground.
Manifold Destiny (Subnautica)- 100CP.
You've got one job, and you're pretty good at it. The things you build have extra hull integrity, giving you more leeway when constructing habitats. Vehicles you construct have more advanced armor, making them harder to hurt without sacrificing acceleration.
Skin-suit (Subnautica) (Free to everyone)
It's not armored, but it's climate-controlled, and it comes with an air tank-compatible helmet. Utilizes a small subspace inventory for the convenience of the wearer. The gloves grant extra traction, making it easy to grip slippery things like slimy fish scales. Skin-tight.
PDA (Subnautica) (Free to Everyone)
Loaded with an emergency intelligence and more data capacity than you could ever use, this is a survivor's second most powerful tool (after his or her brain.) The AI may get a bit… quirky… over long deployments. Your version is basically indestructible. Contains basic construction blueprints.
Pod (Subnautica) (Free to everyone)
This emergency life pod has inflatable skids along the bottom to help keep it on the surface of the water, as well as a hatch on both the bottom and top. It also comes with a radio receiver, six solar-charging batteries, and a universal fabricator. The storage container has enough food and water for about a week. A nano-med kit is synthesized and added to storage once a day.
Resource Generator (A Certain Magical Index + A Certain Scientific Railgun) – 100cp
Buying materials and resource cost too much time and manpower especially if the materials or recourse that you need are limited or rare. You gain a warehouse full of materials and resource no matter how common to how rare it is that you need to build any technology that you want. It replenishes used materials every twenty-four hours after you took them out of the warehouse additionally it records and replenishes any materials that you add to your warehouse. After jump, it would become a warehouse add-on or be inserted near your starting location.
Cosmic Warehouse (free): Over the course of your adventures you're probably going to collect a metric duck-ton of stuff. Weapons, armor, technology, cars, big evil laser beams, everything and anything including several kitchen sinks. Why? Because you can. Now, normally you'd have trouble storing it all, and that's no fun, so here's your very own Cosmic Warehouse to give you a place to stick all your stuff. It is contained within its own reality that contains absolutely nothing else (guaranteed) and no matter where you go (unless blocked by a drawback or gauntlet) you'll always be able to access it. Before you do anything with it, it looks like a fairly dimly lit and very empty room.
Your Warehouse forms the base of your Personal Reality, with any additions you buy or make expanding it through various means. Anything added to the Warehouse via CP purchase is guaranteed to work flawlessly with anything and everything else attached to the Warehouse. Anything added by the use of fiat-backed powers or abilities is likewise guaranteed to seamlessly integrate. This means that, although you can't just buy a house with cash in a jump and integrate it into your warehouse, you could enchant a closet already in your Warehouse with Harry Potter brand 'bigger on the inside' magic if you've been to a Harry Potter jump. Essentially, you'll get a complete set of manuals on how each thing you buy functions and listing how various techs and magics that you have already purchased can be integrated with what you have already. It won't make suggestions, but it will tell you how to accomplish something if you've already got the power and know-how needed to pull it off.
Starting Space (free): Your Personal Reality starts out with a volume of 80×80×10 meters, so 6,400 square meters of floor space or 64,000 cubic meters of storage volume. In the archaic and silly 'Imperial' measuring system this translates to 262.5×262.5×32.8 feet, so 68,889 square feet or 2,260,138 cubic feet.
Access Key (free): This is a special key that lets you access your Personal Reality and its contents. When inserted into any lock on any door, the door opens to reveal a gateway into your Reality at a predetermined location within it. You are the only person who can take the key from the lock, the gateway remains open as long as the key is in the lock, and if the key is ever lost or stolen you will find it in your pocket a few minutes later. You cannot close the door as long as you are inside the Personal Reality.
Security System (free): Anybody coming in and out of your Personal Reality is now checked for any authorization you've given them to access it; and should anything about said authorization (or a lack of it) raise any flags in the system, then you will receive a warning about it. This allows you to define just what sorts of authorization different individuals can have to access your Personality Reality, anything from No Access through Temporary Access and Limited Access to Unlimited Access is possible. All this does is notify you. It does not stop them on its own. A Keyholder's Access cannot be limited by the Security System. Only hand out Keys to those you trust implicitly.
Loft (Free): What's the point of having a room 10 meters tall if you can't build upwards. Feel free to stack things up to the ceiling if you like.
Environmentally Neutral (Free): By default, the temperature in your Personal Reality is never too hot nor too cold, the air will always smell faintly musty but scent neutral, and the air will always be breathable… even if two different species with different atmospheric requirements are present in it at the same time…. well, as long as both species are there with permission. This won't protect breathing invaders. Earth Standard Gravity will be maintained in all areas, and the air will be just humid enough.
Shelving (free): Basic metal shelves to keep your goods on, the kind you find in industrial big box stores, sized for pallets and numbered for sorting. You'll get up to as many as will suit your initial space allotment, but if you don't take all of them, you'll need to buy more on your own… they sell them at most business supply warehouses, ironically enough.
Neutral Lighting (free): These lights are nothing special, It's a color-neutral, source-neutral ambient lighting system. It's not really that bright… think early twilight gloom, but if you want better, install it.
Entrance Hall (First Free): This is the room your Access Key opens a door to. It starts off as a 5-meter cube with blank white walls, floor, and ceiling, and some doors, one leading to the current Host Reality, the other into your Cosmic Warehouse, with additional doors leading to other extensions as these get added to your Personal Reality. Feel free to customize this Entrance Hall as you see fit. Additional Halls can, at your discretion, be linked only to certain keys or only to certain extensions. This allows you to have an entry hall just for skiing if you want.
Companion Calibration Unit (Free): While not a full Body Mod for your companions, this is perhaps the next best thing. Taking the form of a vending machine-sized diagnostic cabinet, this scans your companions (and all their alt-forms) for any form of illness, genetic malady, or physical/neurological dysfunction and corrects them. It also provides a statistical analysis of their baseline (i.e. what they'd be like powered down). This second function can be used on non-companions.
Cleaning Supplies (Free): Infinite supply of any cleaning supplies you might need for cleaning your Personal Reality. By default placed into a specific closet, but can be placed elsewhere. These have no actual chemical properties. No using this to get an endless supply of brooms or bleach. Completely safe for all complex lifeforms. Very not safe for viruses, bacteria, amoeba, or household pests.
Chapter 2:
Planes are fine when they're going through the air and dealing with enemies. But leaving them to the elements and the outdoors when they're not in use? Well, that just seems really crass. You need somewhere to store your vehicles and planes when you're not busy destroying anything that's not on your side, and that's what these establishments are for. It's not the fanciest thing in the world, but it'll serve its purpose and make sure your means for vehicular slaughter are in prime condition for their tasks. For an additional +50CP, these hangar bays also come equipped with special clamps and harnesses to make refitting and refueling any planes, go much more quickly than they would if you were using them by hand. For sea-based bases, this also means you have docks for boats and submarines.
Gives a Warehouse attachment for planes, vehicles, boats, submarines. A very all-encompassing storage space that keeps the vehicles stored in prime condition too.
Soundtrack (Ace Combat) (Free): When you take to the skies, it does not always have to be on a somber note. As you fly to your mission, dogfight, or assault an enemy position you'll have the soundtrack of your choice playing in the background. Others can hear this if you wish, and you can turn this off at any time. Perfect for when you want to hype yourself up for a situation.
Basic Flight Training (Ace Combat) (Free): If you couldn't fly before, you have a basic idea of how to fly a plane now. You know how to maneuver the joystick properly, which button fires the missiles, and how to properly land a plane without creating a multi-million dollar pile of scrap. It won't save you if you dive into a massive swarm of planes all by yourself, but you can learn.
Missile Surplus (Ace Combat) (Free): Well this is odd. Any plane you pilot seems to hold an unnatural number of missiles for its type, far more than it should. You're not sure where it's getting this many missiles, but you'll have to restock them if you run out. The same thing happens with special weapons, though you have to have a working model to attach if you want to swap it out.
Comm Chatter (Ace Combat) (Free): While an important part of war is knowing what your opponent is up to, sometimes it's good for puffing your ego up too. For whatever reason, your radio will occasionally catch communications being broadcast from the enemy. This can range from important information to wild surprise at your antics. Not too useful, but good for knowing how you're doing.
What use is genius if no one will listen? How can one save the day or take over the galaxy if they are ignored? This ensures that will never be a problem for you. You know things and people know that. They will no longer scoff at or ignore your scientific ramblings so long as you know what you are talking about. You can always convince people to accept facts so long as you can explain them. People will also accept your knowledge of things as equivalent to a physical item of equal value when discussing bartering or trading. You can't bullshit with this perk. You have to actually be right and know the thing for it to be taken seriously.
Deposits of Moonsilver form only in the Wyld. Beams of moonlight unpredictably illuminate a region of the Bordermarches or Middlemarches, boiling off the Wyld and distilling its Essence into the fluid, watery-looking moonsilver. However, raw moonsilver is unstable. An artisan needs special techniques to work it. Through coaxing songs and careful taps and strokes with crystal hammers and probes, the artisan quiets the Wyldness remaining in the raw moonsilver so it becomes a stable metal. Pacify it too much and it freezes into silver; hit it too hard, and it shatters into drops of quicksilver.
This does mean that in other worlds, you might have some difficulty finding any quantities of Moonsilver to use. Therefore, you may purchase a supply of moonsilver here. Gaining five Talents of pure, stabilized Moonsilver for you to use, enough for the creation of almost any kind of artifact, as well as notes detailing the thaumaturgical procedure that may be used to create Moonsilver yourself. In the future, you will gain another five Talents of this mutable metal every year, ensuring that you will never permanently run out.
No Moon (Exalted-The Lunars) [Free]
The members of the No Moon Caste are the loremasters, occultists, and sorcerers of the Lunar Exalted. The Children of the Hidden Moon preserve the lore of millennia and drink in its wisdom as surely as the Heart's Blood of a ritual hunt, they are naturally suited to perceiving threats on the horizon and defeating them with tactical brilliance and subtle insight, and they are also the foremost priests of Luna.
Through their anima power, they may attune their Essence to that of the new moon.
Cloaking themselves in darkness, and amplifying their occult power for some time.
Spirit Shape (Exalted-The Lunars) [Free]
At the moment of Exaltation, a Lunar gains its first animal shape. This is the character's spirit shape, reflecting the character's nature and temperament, and is as much a true form as the Lunar's original human form is. Exalted who are sly might discover the snake or raccoon, the mighty could find bulls or bears, the wise sometimes see raitons or the lone wolf. Your circumstances are a little different though and so you may choose your own spirit shape. You may choose any natural animal that exists or has existed in Creation, from the size of a house-cat to a moose for free.
Silver Mind (Exalted-The Lunars) [free No Moon]
The Children of the Hidden Moon are loremasters, occultists, and sorcerers. They excel at quick thinking and mystical insight, easily mastering useful lore and outsmarting dangerous foes. Fittingly, you are at the peak of human potential in terms of mental prowess, being more intelligent, quick-witted, and more perceptive than most anyone else. Few could boost to match your intuition and logic, nor are there many that pick out subtle clues and tell as quickly as you may do.
Claw-Speak (Exalted-The Lunars) [free No Moon]
The Moonsilver tattoos that ward a Lunar from the twisting influence of the Wyld are much more than merely decorative designs. To those with the knowledge to see, Lunar tattoos contain a wealth of information about their bearer, including their deed name, their caste, any prior renown they have won, and how many blood debts they have accrued and fulfilled.
In fact, the markings of the tattoos are part of a writing system unique to Lunar society, known as claw-speak. Lunars use this script to convey considerable amounts of information in delicate swirls and cuts that a Lunar can write even with a claw in one of his animal forms.
Aside from knowing this secretive language, taught only to other Lunars except in the most extraordinary of circumstances, you may similarly read the meaning behind and purpose of tattoos borne by other people.
Moonsilver Tattoos (Exalted-The Lunars) [Free]
The moonsilver tattoos that most Lunars wear protect them from the effect of the Wyld taint… and from so much more. The tattoos protect Lunars from any influence that would change their shape other than their inherent abilities. They offer perfect protection from any and all effects that would alter your body, which includes many Shaping effects. The tattoos do not, however, offer blanket protection from all Shaping effects. Tattooed Lunars are still vulnerable to effects that target their mind or soul.
As a further item of clarification, the tattoos are nondiscriminatory in their protection. They lock out all non-Lunar shape-shifting influence, even beneficial magic cast by the Lunar on himself. Only a Lunar's own Lunar Charms, Knacks, and inherent shape-shifting may change the shape of a tattooed Lunar's body. Though post-jump you may selectively allow shape-shifting and alterations originating from yourself or others to alter your body at will.
Chapter 3:
Katou Sensei (Fate Legends: Land of the Rising Sun) (400CP)
An advanced combat doll, of the same make and potentially even the same appearance as Katou Danzou. A highly capable warrior and assassin, this doll is a loyal servant to your cause. But in truth, her real value is not in her physical form but the exhaustive database of martial, ninja, and even some related magi techniques that have been uploaded to her mind. Centuries of data and teachings on these subjects, enough to bring even a complete amateur to the level of a master with enough time spent. The doll is an exceptional teacher, able to teach in both theoretical and practical terms to any of her students. Oddly enough, the doll prefers to wear glasses while teaching too. In future worlds, similar information can be found in the doll's database on local martial and ninja techniques, excluding unique or particularly hard-to-find information.
Chapter 4:
A fairly large metal bucket, which, when filled with a liquid, can pour out infinite amounts of said liquid unless deliberately completely emptied. It will resist cold, heat, corrosion, and other damaging properties of whatever liquid fills it, and when deliberately emptied, no traces or cross-contamination will happen when the bucket is refilled.
Chapter 5:
Going out and beating people up is not all there is to be a ninja, certainly not in the myriad worlds of Naruto fanfiction. There's a lot of space for less outdoorsy activities, such as seal-creation, weapons-forging, and so on. That's where this beautiful place comes in! It's the ultimate workshop, perfect for just about anything you may care to work at. It has a huge supply of papers and inks for your fuuinjutsu needs, herbs and plants for preparing poisons or medicines, a forge and metal supplies for smithing, timber for woodwork, and so on, for anything else you may care to work on. The quantities of the materials generated depend on their rarity and value. Something like ordinary paper and ink, or plain steel and wood, would never run out no matter how much you use, while things like paper from special, chakra-enriched trees would be in a far shorter supply. But no matter how rare something might be, so long as it's not absolutely unique, you can expect to find it here, and in sufficient quantities to work with. At the absolute slowest, for materials of priceless rarity like high-quality chakra-storing gemstones or metals, you could expect a supply to regenerate bi-yearly, and proportionately lesser times for less rare substances. In future worlds this workshop updates with materials and ingredients of the respective settings, with the same replenishment rules remaining in effect.
Chakra Coils- Free
The basic ability to use chakra, as represented by "chakra coils" that are a nebulous part of your body and/or soul now. You have top-quality chakra coils which would place you in the top 5% in this world in terms of both capacity and control.
After this jump, your chakra system and body continue to function just as they do in this world, along with any changes made along the way. You may also if you choose to, induce the development of chakra coils in other people simply by pushing some of your chakra into them.
Academy Training- Free
You already have all the basic training necessary to start your career as a ninja. Your physical stats and resilience are what civilians would call 'peak human' and you can mold chakra, use kunai and shuriken, do the academy three Jutsu (henge, kawarimi, and bunshin), and have learned a basic taijutsu style. You've even studied ahead a little and learned tree climbing, chakra-boosted jumping, and several D-rank techniques (Body Flicker Technique, Manipulated Shuriken Technique, Shadow Shuriken Technique, and Temporary Paralysis Technique).
Elemental Affinity (Fire)- Free
Not much to see here. You have an extremely strong elemental affinity in one of the five primary elements of this world, those being Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and Lightning. The first purchase of this perk is free, the second and onward cost 100 CP though you must purchase a different primary element each time.
* Affinity was determined by an Internet Quiz.
Ninja Weapons- Free
You have a pouch full of all kinds of general use ninja weapons, like shuriken, kunai, senbon, each of multiple kinds and sizes, up to and including things like fuuma shurikens and the rest. It also has many spools of ninja wire, along with the other slightly niche materials, and everything is of the very highest quality, prime Higurashi product.
No matter how many of these you take out, there are always more, and you always pull out exactly what you were meant to. Strangely no one ever seems to question this, maybe they just think you have a lot of storage scrolls in there? The items you take out eventually disappear after use.
You possess greater than human levels of skill in a single occupation. You could be a superhuman sniper, martial artist, mechanic, chef, or any other area of skill. You may purchase additional occupations for an extra 100 cp each. At Street Tier, you are slightly above what a normal human could achieve. This level in skill is equivalent to Bullseye's accuracy or Lady Shiva's fighting skill. At National Tier, you can achieve feats of skill that would normally only be possible with machine-like perfection. You could literally shoot the wings off a fly at 100 meters, perform delicate brain surgery with a shard of glass in a tenth the normal time, or write a song that inspires a national revolution within days. At Global Tier, the laws of physics become flexible when you practice your skills. You can bend bullets Wanted style, balance on a cloud, or swim up a rainstorm. At Cosmic Tier, things get a little ridiculous. Your skills acquire conceptual level effects. You could shoot someone by targeting their shadow, dodge bad luck, or repair spatial rifts with duct tape and baling wire.
Academy Graduate (Generic Super Academy) (Free for All Origins)
This is the very basics. If you didn't know this stuff, you could never graduate from the Academy at all. And, lucky you, you get to start with it. You have very basic self-defense training, enough control over your powers to not accidentally hurt yourself or others, a minor grounding in the science of metahuman powers, hopefully, enough knowledge of metahuman law to avoid going to prison, and basic general education to the level appropriate for your school.
* All this appropriate if such an Academy existed on Earth Bet.
Most Common Superpower (Generic Super Academy) (Free for All Origins)
You have the incredible good looks that comic book heroes always seem to have. Chiseled features, defined muscles, perfect curves, flowing hair, no matter what you are at least an eight out of ten, and you stay that way no matter how dirty you might be or how much you might get beat down. You will retain your fit and attractive appearance, even without exercise or a proper diet, as long as you consume enough calories to avoid starvation. You will either heal perfectly, without any form of scarring, or your scars will enhance your appearance in some way. Even if your appearance is inhuman in some way, you still manage to be this attractive.
Required Secondary Powers (Generic Super Academy) (Free for All)
You have the often implied but equally often never stated ability to have your powers work in ways that won't hurt or adversely affect you. This works for powers purchased in this specific jump and for any future powers you gain that are at least superficially similar in nature to the ones purchased here.
Costume (Generic Super Academy) (Free for All Origins)
You have a costume of your own design that always looks good on you. It does not provide any powers, but it will never be harmed by your own powers or movements and will alter itself to always fit you perfectly. It will remember any upgrades you make to it and is self-cleaning and maintaining.
* Assimilated into what Baran is clothed for his heroic persona.
Chapter 6:
You're a Savant! This means you've got an incredible insight in crafting all sorts of things, from meals to clothes, to armor, to weapons, to magical devices, and all sorts of other things besides. Even if you've never done something before so long as it's a skill remotely 'craft like' in nature, you'll be able to perform it at the level of a (mortal) master. This just represents innate talent, and if you actually focus on developing such skills the normal way you'll quickly outstrip even the best that a mortal craftsman could accomplish, able to make artwork that speaks to the soul (perhaps literally) or armor and weapons of surpassing quality that looks like show-room pieces despite being suitable for combat and also being sturdy and reliable to a frankly unbelievable degree. Purchasing this will even make you substantially better than other Exalted craftsmen, assuming you put in the same amount of effort that they did.
A Simple Amulet (Generic Exalted)[free]
A hearthstone amulet, your choice of magical material to be made out of. It has a single socket which can have a single hearthstone placed into it. Hearthstones provide all sorts of different magical benefits as well as increasing regeneration of Essence when a hearthstone is placed within. These hearthstone amulets you purchase here do not require Essence to attune them. Your first hearthstone amulet is free. Does not actually come with a hearthstone.
A Storied Blade (Generic Exalted)[free]
You receive an average Daiklave, roughly a '2 dot' artifact weapon, for free. It comes in the magical material of your choice. Daiklaves are swords that are really huge because screw you physics huge swords are cool. Unlike regular artifact weapons that you would normally find, ones purchased here have no Essence requirement. You can attune to them, and keep them attuned, for absolutely free. Additionally, also unlike normal magical weapons (of this low a level at least), these Daiklaves are completely indestructible. Comes with 1 hearthstone socket, just because.
* Of note, this is based on the second edition of Exalted, and I use the third edition. So be prepared for some differences, most notably, such an artifact is now '3 dot'.
You receive a 1m white ceramic cube, which contains 250 kilograms of randomized base components and Grathnode crystals. Stocks replenish every week, and ratios skew towards whatever ingredients you used the most of.
Chapter 7:
Some people think firewalls and passwords are enough to keep a hacker out, they would be right in most cases too except they didn't count on you. Your ability to hack and crack systems passwords is astounding and anything short of a complete physical disconnect in a system is simply another way for you to gain access. Did somebody order Chinese food on the company Wi-Fi? You can probably get into their network servers in a few minutes while they place the order.
Scientist (Hive Queen Quest) (Free)
While born and raised on Arnim, you showed yourself to be highly skilled in the field of biology, spending your time as a child cataloging native insect species found in the yard, and eventually working your way into a graduate program and securing a scholarship to the prestigious institutes of Mentan. Like most students of Mentan, you focused your studies on several subjects with a particular goal or theme in mind. In your case, it is to better humanity through a greater understanding of non-human life, society, and history, with degrees in Xeno-biology, Quantum Logic Theory, Xenopsychology, archeology, Xeno-sociology, and Quantum Computer Engineering. An impressive resume indeed, which is why you are currently on a ship headed to your chosen planet ready to start your new career!
* Please, don't ask me about quantum logic, I could barely read a few lines in Wikipedia.
(Hive Queen Quest) (Free Scientist) Spin Doctor
Let's face it sometimes your work may not be completely moral, attractive, or even make much sense. But you need funding! You need test subjects! You need materials and goods! These problems can be easily solved however by securing proper government funding. You are a master of spinning what you know into an attractive and lucrative business proposal. Making your horrific experiments seem like something a person may want to take part in (for the right price) is well within your capabilities and securing government funding for your projects is child's play. So long as you keep up your end of the deal and get results. So long as you keep up your end of the deal and get results.
(Hive Queen Quest) (Free Scientist) Xeno-Anthropoligist
Your studies are many and varied, extending to even odd or eccentric fields such as Xenoanthropology, the study of the behavior of alien races. As such you find it much easier to understand alien races' motives as well as their way of thinking giving you a slight leg up in social situations, as a bonus you also learn alien languages much faster than normal.
Advanced knowledge of chemistry and metallurgy has allowed you to create alloys out of various materials, including metals and chemicals. These new alloys retain all of the properties- including those that are supernatural in nature- of the materials used to make them, allowing you to create truly powerful substances.
It is a dangerous universe out there, and you'll need protection. You know how to make Environmental Protection Packs (EPPs), specialized devices designed to protect the wearer from hazards such as lack of oxygen or heightened levels of radiation. You can fine-tune them to block out most forms of danger that you come across. Just be aware, the more dangers you are blocking, the more energy and exotic materials your EPP will require.
Basic Techs: (Starbound) Free
Tech are special implants that give the user various abilities designed to increase their range of movement, which can be used at will, though some of them do use energy. This perk unlocks the basic tech groups: Morph Ball, Dash, or Pulse Jump, along with the three variants of each of those techs. This also comes with a free tech station in your Warehouse/Spaceship, where you can switch between your chosen techs. You can decide whether the Techs that come with this are actual implants or just innate abilities. Given time, you may be able to figure out how to implant techs in others as well, using your own as a basis.
Mech: (Starbound) (Free).
Mechs are large bipedal vehicles, used for both land and space travel. Each comes with two weapons set in each of its arms and a pair of thrusters used for movement in space. Each mech has an internal energy supply, which drains over time as the mech is in use, and drops sharply as the mech takes damage. If the mech's energy drains completely, it ends up "despawning" to await re-deployment and avoid total destruction. You get a basic mech for your given race for free, along with a mech crafting/repair station, which will store your mech between deployments. This station can be placed as an attachment to your Warehouse or set in a section of your Spaceship (does not provide additional room in your Spaceship). The basic mech has enough energy for roughly 8 hours of deployment, and comes with a flak cannon and drill on its arms. It can fly in space at around 20 kph, and run on land at around 10 kph.
Fixer-Upper: (Starbound) (Free)
You get a basic broken ship for free, with a week's worth of supplies for two people, including rations, medical supplies, a few simple weapons, and the like in the ship's storage. None of these supplies are CP-backed, and they won't replenish once used. This is where you will start your jump, and your initial goal will be to find a way to patch up and repair your ship. You can either do it yourself, or follow the standard questline down to the planet, make your way to the Outpost, and find someone to help you there. Your standard size ship can hold a crew of two comfortably, with living quarters, bathrooms, basic food prep stations, etc.
Ship's Pet: (Starbound) (Free)
Not a true companion, but you can choose to gain one of any of the ship's pets, even those for other races, for free. They do not take up a companion slot and may accompany you to new worlds, without aging or dying. If you choose to import them into a new world as a companion, or if their intelligence gets raised to human or better levels, then they will begin to count as a full companion.
S.A.I.L.: (Starbound)(Free)
A Virtual Intelligence that is in charge of maintaining your ship, S.A.I.L. doesn't count as a full companion. While it mimics sentience, it isn't fully sentient in its own right. However, this could change if you decide to import it as a companion in future jumps, or if you manage to unlock it into full sentience via software upgrades.
Chapter 8:
A certain amount of discretion is required when working with materials as sensitive as those common in your line of work. While high-end tech components or raw materials are easily acquired and delivered, materials such as holy relics or certified virgin blood are rather less so. Although taking such items through customs and security is normally a fairly sizable challenge, you do have an advantage - these forms. Suitable for ordering items or attaching to crates or other 'deliverables', these certificates ensure that nothing but the most determined intent will ever cause them to be searched during routine checks. You'll not need to worry about delays or unpleasant questions, though you might want to avoid using them to, for example, mail explosives to the UAC's board of directors. Even authoritative paperwork filled out in triplicate only holds so much power, after all. In future jumps, these forms will automatically adjust to whatever other packages you need to get to their destination without any poking and prodding.

The wings on their backs are helpful for gliding and attempting to break falls, but can't be used for flight.
