Casting Role
The Protagonist
No longer will you be called an egotistical narcissist for thinking that the whole world revolved around you. Because this franchise absolutely does! Ninety percent of the time, the audience will experience the story through your point of view. Plus, whenever anything remotely interesting or plot-changing occurs, it’s almost guaranteed to involve you in some way. It doesn’t matter if you’re the good guy or the bad guy. This is Jumper’s story. The character that formerly held the protagonist position will be switched to a ‘Decoy Protagonist’ and later demoted down to a ‘Main Character’ once this plot-twist has been revealed to the audience. That’s if they weren’t killed off during the reveal.
Official Franchise
Television Show
Your Jump franchise starts off as a show on any television broadcasting network and in any country of your choosing. The number of seasons and the length of these episodes can be up to you. You will choose to have this television show be fashioned in the form of a cartoon, anime, or live-action show. You purchase this option multiple times to gain more shows in a specific form.
- Anime
Book
Paper, paper, and more paper. Across the world, your Jump will be published as a literary work and sold in every bookstore. This literary work can be written in any style, like a screenplay or prose. Alternatively, you could choose to have your adventures told through a comic, graphic novel, or manga. The length of these books and the number of volumes created are at your discretion.
- Manga
Perks
Creator’s Pet
What’s better than being the audience’s favorite character? It’s being the Creator’s favorite. As the title states, you are sincerely beloved by the Creator of the franchise. So, if you aren’t the protagonist, then you will soon be one in every way but name. From now on, life seems to constantly go your way. Sure, there will be struggles, but the pay-off will be worth it ten times over. This comes with a guarantee to survive until the franchise’s climax, more screen time than anyone else, and leeway from the Creator to change the plot as you please. In-Jump, this also gives you a huge relationship boost with the God or Godlike-beings in every Jump.
Sticking to the Script
There are plenty of scenes that make a franchise memorable and enjoyable to the audience. A lot of scenes that you might want to experience for yourself. But with the arrival of outside forces, it will be difficult to guarantee that these scenes can ever occur.
This perk will act as a butterfly repellent when toggled on. As long you haven’t completely derailed the plot (like killing off certain characters or destroying certain places), the franchise will try its best to make canon events happen, even when you have directly inserted yourself into the narrative.
As an added bonus, this perk comes with a guilt-free conscience. Especially during times where world peace in the franchise is achieved through its total destruction.
Faithful Encounters
Most of the exciting things that happen in a Jump are due to pure coincidences. How many protagonists have gained their OP skills, items, or allies from solely being at the right place, at the right time? Pretty much all of them. While this is pure luck in the Jump, meta-wise, it’s all thanks to the creators of the franchise. You too, are very lucky, when it comes to running into people and opportunities that will insert you into the plot or make your life much more interesting. You only have to take the initiative to seize them.
Room For One More
You’d be surprised how exclusive the main cast is. Plenty of times, these important characters are within groups that can only hold a specific number of people. The Voltron robot? Sorry, only five seats available. Konoha’s Team 7? They’re a four-man squad. Although you could still insert yourself into such groups for more action and screen time, your arrival might lead to another character being axed.
But if taking another character’s role isn’t something you truly want to do, then allow me to offer you a solution. Often, you’ll find that the number of spots available on a team, mission, or organization will increase to give you a fighting chance to join. For example, instead of the Voltron robot only needing five pilots, that number will be bumped up to six, maybe even seven pilots. Or a cultivation sect will greatly increase the number of disciples it’s accepting, that way you and all your companions can join without ruining the chances of characters that would have been accepted without your intrusion.
However, this perk is not an absolute guarantee. You and your companions still need to earn your spot by being the obvious next choice or the situation must be so minor that accommodating you would not be considered strange; like an extra seat appearing on a bus or escape pod for you.
Sexiest Fictional Character
Remaining in the spotlight takes a lot of work. It’s even harder when 90% of the cast are either world-class beauties or tall, dark, and unbelievably handsome. Fortunately, that’s something you never have to concern yourself with, because it’s as if you were painstakingly drawn by the Goddesses of Beauty themselves. With your appearance alone, expect half of the cast and the audience to develop a small crush on you. The audience will constantly replay your scenes on loop, hearing your voice will make hearts race a bit faster, and seeing your face will cause admirers to squeal with joy.
Character Design
Don’t some of your companions look really familiar, Jumper? It’s as if the audience has seen them before. Perhaps, in another franchise? While the audience will appreciate the crossover, one of your companions might still be considered someone else’s legal property on Earth. Thankfully, you have a way to dodge all the lawsuits and copyright infringements.
If you or your companions have ever appeared in a previous franchise, the audience will not be able to connect you or your companions’ appearance, personality, and/or powers to that franchise. In each franchise, you and your companions will always seem like new and original characters to everyone. So, you could copy another character’s design and even look like their identical twin, and nobody would ever be able to see the resemblance. This can be toggled on or off.
Punching Bag Body
You’ve been through enough Jumps to know how violent people really are. Even the gentlest souls or your closest allies can throw the meanest punches your way. And no matter how much it hurts, the Creator and audience will always expect you to get back up, like you aren’t currently suffering from internal bleeding. With this perk, you’ll find that your pain tolerance has risen to match a Shonen Protagonist.
While the wounds you receive are real, the pain you’ll experience is almost nil. A strong punch to the face feels like your grandma pinching your cheek and the feeling of getting impaled by a sword is only comparable to a rough doctor giving you a shot. Just remember to see a real doctor when the fight is over.
Alternate Universe
An alternative universe (or AU for short) allows you to change how the world works in this franchise. Perhaps in this universe the heroes and villains swap places, several characters are born a different gender, and everyone can find their soulmates using wordy tattoos. The combinations are endless, and you can apply a maximum of three AUs to each Jump.
Easter Eggs
There’s a good chance that before using this supplement, you’ve already experienced plenty of adventures, found many treasures, and interacted with a variety of colorful characters. To simply leave all that behind would be such a shame. It would be even worse to forget any of these magical moments. So, whenever you move on to a new Jump, you’ll find hidden objects, messages, and glimpses of familiar faces that act as shout-outs or references to your previous Jumps.
These items will never have any special powers, nor will these familiar faces insert themselves into the plot. To the people inside the Jump, these Easter eggs will be simple trinkets or strangers on the street. Only to you and the audience will it be something more.
Character Song
What a beautiful voice you have Jumper! At least when you are singing a very special song. This song so happens to be your theme song. A melody that vocalizes your current personality and motivations perfectly. It comes with the pleasure of always sounding wonderful when spoken from your lips. Even as a whisper, a hum, or a whistle. The song and its lyrics will always induce a certain feeling in its listeners too.
Perhaps, you want to produce a cheerful and bubbly song that will uplift the audience’s spirit or maybe you want to sing something that does the complete opposite, bringing the blues and a wave of melancholy. For each purchase of this perk, you can get another theme song and even invite other characters to make a character song with you.
Items
OP/ED
Opening theme songs and ending credits are very important, as they can capture the audience’s attention and keeps them coming back for more. At least, until the plot finally kicks in and the audience starts to realize just how good or bad the franchise really is.
With these music videos, no matter how unimportant or insignificant you are to the current storyline, you will always make an appearance in every opening theme and ending credits produced for the franchise. Although, your Casting Role will still determine how much screen time you will get in these songs. Whenever a new OP and ED comes out, you’ll always receive a pristine copy of them too.
My Signature
There are so many fictional characters created in your original world. So many, that plenty of them have been long forgotten or have blended all together in the audience’s mind. But you aren’t someone that can be simply forgotten. At least not completely.
You have something that sets you apart from all the others, something that defines your character. It could be a cosmetic feature, like a lightning bolt scar or multi-colored hair. A weapon or article of clothing, like a straw hat or key-shaped blade. Or perhaps, you fancy having a catchphrase or signature move instead. Whatever you pick, this signature will make anyone that sees or hear of it, instantly think about you. Even if you aren’t the one sporting this signature or saying this phrase. You are unforgettable.
