Black Butler Jump v0.9 – by Mommy

Welcome to the world of Black Butler. It is 1887 and the greatest nation on earth is in mourning, following the example of Queen Victoria who has in secret aligned herself to the former forces of God. Meanwhile a young Ciel Phantomhive plans his revenge aided by his Demon butler, Sebastian Michaelis. Oh, and a supernatural Jack The Ripper is on a killing spree, Demon Hounds terrorize the countryside, and suspiciously young nobles are plotting murders.

You arrive shortly after Ciel has contracted with Sebastian, around the time when a foolish Italian thief attempts the cross the Phantomhive household.

You may pick a few perks to better fit into this world where you will stay for 10 years.

+1000 CP

Oh, does this world look easy to you? Like a vacation? No, sorry. The world of Black Butler contains supernatural threats in far greater quantities than simply those encountered by Ciel and Sebastian. You didn’t think there were just 3 demons in all of England, did you?

***Background:

England is the rightful ruler of this world as chosen by God and thus London is where everything takes place. Your age will be determined by your background. You may change your gender for 50 CP. Each background comes with its own memories, even for those who can be considered immortal.

Drop-in:

You come to this world as you. This means you have no annoying memories to bother you, but finding a Demon willing to contract with an immortal Jumper is almost impossible. The same applies to Grim Reapers and Fallen Angels.

Foreigner:

You are a foreigner enjoying his time in London. You may any Asian nation and consider it your country of birth. You came here to sell drugs, make business contacts or hunt the supernatural. The details are up to you, but you will have to bear the memories of your chosen “foreigner”. For some reason Demons don’t contract with foreigners. You are 18+1d8 (or 50CP to choose between 18 and 26) years old

Master:

You are an orphaned young noble. You are 8+1d8 (or 50CP to choose between 8-16) years old. You come from wealth and live in a splendid manor. You are not alone. Pick one:

- Brahmin Sinner(100CP): It seems a mistake was made! You are in fact 18+1d8 (or 50CP to choose between 18 and 26)years old. You are a minor Indian royal (i.e. a 26th in line Prince) and have gained the loyalty of a former Brahmin, who lived a wicked life of debauchery and pleasure. You spared him, granted him a new name and have his undying loyalty.

- Grim Reaper(200CP): A Grim Reaper has found itself attracted to your unique history. It has decided to follow you around, acting as your butler, but makes for a shady friend. The Grim Reaper has a job to do and will at times leave you to fend for yourself, additionally it is under no binding obligation to serve you.

- Fallen Angel(400CP): Your purity has attracted a Fallen Angel to your side. It will aid you as long as you abide by its obsession to rid the world of filth. You must remain chaste, pure of heart and be willing to follow its guidance. You will be an important asset in its plan to purify the world. Do note that their sense of morality is skewed and they often rely on destruction and manipulation to achieve their dreams of a pure world.

- Demon(600CP): You are a clever, clever little noble. You were approached by a Demon who offered you a wish in exchange for your soul. You wished for it to be your butler for 10 years and a day. It intends to devour your soul at the end of that time and will follow your every command. For now it does not know that you may not stay here for longer than 10 years.

Butler:

You are the servant of a young noble. You stand far above the common man in every aspect. That is because you are not just any butler.

-Brahmin Sinner(100CP): You were a Hindu to the Brahmin caste, destined to serve the Gods. Yet you strayed from your path and were sentenced to death. A minor Indian Royal spared your life and in him you saw divinity. More than any other Butler, you truly care for and worship your Master. You are human however.

-Demon(200CP): You are a Demon. You contract with humans in exchange for their soul. Your Master has either asked you for 10 years minus a day of your time or for you to aid them in fulfilling their deepest desire, in which you may succeed no sooner than by the final month of the final year of your stay here. As a demon you wield tremendous, incredible power but mainly when in contract with a human. Furthermore you may never disobey your master’s orders or harm them in anyway: you are one hell of a Butler, after all.

-Grim Reaper(400CP): You are a Grim Reaper. You are bound to remain neutral in all affairs between the forces of good and evil. The job of a Grim Reaper is simple: to judge the lives of a dying soul and either claim it or allow the person to continue living, but only if he has the potential to be beneficial to this world. You have aligned yourself to your Master, in whom you have taken an interest. For now, your job will take a less prominent place in your life and somehow the Grim Reaper Dispatch doesn’t really seem to mind as long as you remain loyal to your Master.

-Fallen Angel(600CP): You are a Fallen Angel. Your obsession with the purification of filth through any means, has led you astray from the righteous path of God. You have for the time being aligned yourself to a young noble but your interests are your own. You are not as powerful as a Demon, but possess several unique abilities and more importantly, you possess absolute freedom.

***Perks:

Your origin will no doubt grant you boons and powers by itself but since you are a Jumper, you are not limited to the natural limitation of your species.

Free Perks are obviously free and discounts are 50% off.

**Drop-in Perks**

//

**Foreigner Perks**

Feigned Ignorance100CP (FREE for foreigners): You may be a criminal mastermind, or a master fencer or world’s greatest cook but if there’s one thing you’re good at it’s pretending to be an idiot: you know when to interrupt people to sound stupidest, when to trip over your sword so you look like a bumbling fool,… This hardly ever fails, with only the cleverest of people being capable of seeing through your charade.

Hole in the Market200CP (discount for foreigners): One hour of sightseeing at the local farmer’s market and you’ll know exactly which vegetable would turn the community wild. Luckily your talent is not limited to farmer’s markets, in fact a few weeks of careful analysis will reveal the weaknesses of even the most complex worldwide enterprises. Note that inter-galactic trading corporations might take you quite a bit longer.

Embassy of *enter nation*400CP (discount for foreigners): If you act the part and dress up accordingly you can convince anyone that you are an important ambassador from a foreign nation of your choice. This does not work against the natives of your chosen nation. You may invent a nation, but such a lie will quickly fall apart under scrutiny.

**Master Perks**

Born Aristocrat100CP (FREE for Masters): You are of nobility. In this world it comes with an official title and knowledge of all manners and pastimes befitting the decent folk. In all worlds it comes with an aura of aristocracy, which assures people will always assume you are a member of the nobility of that world unless you act in a way unbefitting of this assumption.

Will of a Nobleman 200CP (discount for Masters): Your veins carry the blood of your ancestors, amongst them the blood of the ancestor through whose hard work your family was granted its title. You share that ancestor’s willpower, capable of persevering against all odds to achieve your goals. As long as you can draw breath, your will knows no end.

Nobleman’s Pedigree 300CP (discount for Masters): You come from a long line of nobility, one who has not sunk to inbreeding to preserve its wealth but actively set out to improve each and every generation. You will always be stronger, more intelligent and more beautiful than your peers.

Voice of Authority 400CP (discount for Masters): You word carries weight to it. The peasantry and lower folk will rarely hesitate to obey any reasonable task you might require of them. This power grows weaker against those of nobler blood and is useless against the equivalent of a monarch or duke.

**Brahmin Sinner**

Brahmin Sinner Physiology(FREE AND LIMITED to Sinners): You are the only Butler who can truly consider himself human. This means you are technically inferior than any of the supernatural races. Yet you are still at the heights of human capabilities and for a truly righteous cause, you faith empowers you to the extent that you can go toe-to-toe with any Demon for a short time. Eternal Loyalty400CP (discount for Sinners): Your loyalty knows no bounds. You will never betray your friends or your master. When fighting for their sake you may fight at full power until you have breathed your last.

Repentance400CP (discount for Sinners): You may repent your sins. You do this by cutting off your hair, assuming a new name and persona and permanently abandoning your sinful past. Doing so effectively absolves you of any crime you have committed and any affront you committed against the gods. The world will consider you a reborn man.

**Demon Perks**

Demon Physiology(FREE AND LIMITED to Demons): Off all three species: Demons, Grim Reapers and Fallen Angels; Demons are the strongest, most agile and most enduring. To break a concrete bridge with a punch, to run faster than any car and survive being shot in the head thrice are all easy stuff. However, most of your power and certainly your true power can only be accessed while contracted to a Human and when ordered by your Master to give it your all.

Faustian Contract 300CP(discount for Demons): You may contract for the equivalent of a human’s soul in exchange for fulfilling their deepest desire. You may seduce or manipulate your victims, but may never force someone into contracting you. A human soul taken this way is of the purest quality and fills the craving of your black heart. While nothing more than a tasty treat for a Demon, a Jumper is completely revitalized by the consumption of such a soul. Your power increase noticeably when used to the extent of completing such a contract.

True Form 800CP (discount for Demons): Pick any animal associated with evil, i.e. spiders, ravens, rats or cats. When commanded to by your Master you may unleash your true power, turning into a hermaphroditic hybrid of you and that animal. You power is increased to incredible levels but this form may only be held for very short amounts of time. If you prefer, you may opt to just transform into a hybrid version of you and that animal.

**Grim Reaper Perks**

Grim Reaper Physiology (FREE AND LIMITED to Grim Reapers): Your strength and agility is on par with those of a Demon, your endurance is vastly superior to humans but not to the extent of a Demon.

Cinematic Record300CP (discount for Grim Reapers): You’re a Grim Reaper and thus your most important task is to collect souls. A Grim Reaper does this by judging a person’s Cinematic Record, which is a book or movie about the life of a person up until their death. You’re a bit peculiar in that you may see someone’s Cinematic Record by drawing a person’s blood. You may not judge whether they are fit to pass on, but you still receive a complete and perfect recollection of their life.

Potential of Man500CP(discount for Grim Reapers): Your most important task being the collection of souls? That was a lie. The real task of a Grim Reaper is to find people “who have the potential to be beneficial to humanity”. These people are temporarily exempt from death until they have realized their potential. You may brand any willing target as such a person, but not yourself. They will be completely exempt from death but this severely upsets whatever is tasked with the collection of souls on the world you are presently in. Once branded this mark may never be revoked, but the bearer WILL be hunted down by the entities you have upset which will slowly grow infinitely stronger until their target has been relieved of its soul and thus, died.

**Fallen Angel Perks**

Fallen Angel Physiology(FREE AND LIMITED to Fallen Angels): Your strength and agility are vastly superior to any Human but not the extent of a Demon’s or Grim Reaper’s. Your endurance however is comparable to that of a Grim Reaper. You may unfold your hidden wings to fly and use your feathers as projectiles sharp as knives.

Bodily Purification300CP (discount for Fallen Angels): On the most primal level, the purification of a person involves the purification of his body. A Fallen Angel may thus purify a person of any affliction, illness or infection. This works to the extent that rotten flesh may be implanted into a person which is then routinely purified by the Fallen Angel thus allowing the Angel to create semi-immortal ghouls.

Memory Purification500CP (discount for Fallen Angels): A Fallen Angel’s tell-tale ability is their power to rewrite a person’s history through the viewing and altering of their Cinematic Record. This does not truly rewrite a person’s past as even God himself may not do so, but is perfectly convincing to your target. A person whose past has been rewritten is considered relieved of all his contracts, duties and bindings of a supernatural nature if the origins of these pacts are removed from a person’s soul.

***Companions:

You may as always bring any of your companion into this world, if anything as a free source of servants. They will not receive any CP, but you may buy perks on their behalf with your CP.

As a Butler your Master automatically has all Master Perks, and if you choose to spare his/her life at the end of your time here he/she may be considered a Companion granted through CP.

As a Master you Butler automatically has all his respective Butler Perks, and if he wishes to join you or he chooses to spare your life at the end of your time here he/she may be considered a Companion granted through CP.

Jump-chan admits that convincing a supernatural butler who may or may not have known you are a Jumper to join you can be tricky so she gives you some healthy advice.

-a Brahmin Sinner requires no persuading, being forever loyal to his Master. -a Fallen Angel can be offered the chance to purify filth across the Jumpverse -a Grim Reaper can be offered freedom from the Dispatch. -a Demon can be offered the chance to savour the souls of different species on different worlds.

You may arrange for this yourself, or ask Jump-chan to do the convincing for you. How exactly a Demon butler might react to having his contract with you nullified by Jump-chan is up to you and him.

Feel free to design your Master/Butler to your heart’s desire.

Demon Hound(300CP): A Demon Hound is a supernatural being who closely resembles an enormous dog. They are proud but kind, and may occasionally bond with a person. They may at will shift between their Demon Hound form and a Human form. They have the intelligence of a dog.

A Demon Hound can breathe out and endless stream of fire, but there most interesting ability is their power to unlock most things that can be considered a Door by being in its presence.

You have met such a Hound and it has decided to follow you for the time being. Be warned that mistreating it may cause it to go berserk at which point nothing can temper its fury and most people would opt to put it out of its misery.

***Items: (more to come)

Mansion (FREE for Masters): A luxurious mansion with a source of income for the duration of your stay. If you’re the Master of a Brahmin Sinner, you instead receive a lump sum of money which should allow you live comfortably for the duration of your stay here.

Opium50CP (FREE for Foreigners): An endless supply of grade-A quality opium. You could sell it, but over-saturating the market causes this special-brand of Opium to reduce in quality.

Party Boat100CP (FREE for foreigners): A big, nice party boat perfect for every occasion that involves partying on sea. You can live inside it if you want.

Glass Harmonica200CP(discount Demons):A demonic instrument created by Demons. Those who hear the music of the Glass Harmonica become temporarily insane, wicked thoughts and beguiling whispers urging them to kill. The musician is unaffected, and so are most creatures of evil.

Death Scythe600CP(FREE for Grim Reapers): A weapon shaped like a gardening tool – ANY GARDENING TOOL – capable of cutting through any natural material. It can in theory cut through materials enchanted by magic as well but the stronger the magic, the longer it’ll take to effectively cut through it. Interestingly, it doesn’t cut through the equivalent of a Reaper’s Scythe in any world at all.

Lævateinn800CP (discount Demons): A legendary sword cloaked in darkness. A soul pierced by this sword is completely destroyed. Injuries sustained by its blade are healed at a fraction of its the victim’s natural regeneration speed. Note that destroying the soul, does not destroy the body and a living body may find its soul restored in time. Entities without a physical body are partially resistant to the power of the Lævateinn.

***Drawbacks: (more to come)

Pick one of these:

Manga0CP: This is the manga. Anime0CP: This is the anime.

Now take as many of these as you desire!

Limbless+100CP: You have permanently lost an arm, a leg or an eye. This might have been the result of malfunctioning contract or a very nasty wound. This injury may not be healed by any means and any alternative form will lack the equivalent of your chosen limb or eye.

Clumsy+100CP: You are clumsy, extremely clumsy. You are incapable of doing anything without tripping and breaking a few vases in the process. Somehow this does not affect your fighting capabilities.

Madam Red+300CP: You have an obsession with childbirth because you either lost a child or your species is incapable of procreation. You however live in a world where prostitution is rampant and birth control is lacking. You are thus compelled to violently murder at least one prostitute who has had an abortion a month. You have a natural instinct for finding these women.

Revenge of the Phantomhive+300CP: Oh god, it seems Jump-chan has left an anonymous letter at the Phantomhive estate implying you were the one who plotted to murder his family and has informed Ciel of all your powers. Even worse, you and your companions have no idea what she did and Ciel is quite the strategist. Beware.

Duty-bound+300CP (Butlers only): As a Sinner you will require rigorous praying and adhering to the Hindu faith. As a Grim Reaper you will be required to continue your work as a collector of souls. As a Demon you will have to regularly consume souls which you may harvest through violent murder. As a Fallen Angel you obsession with purity reaches psychotic heights, forcing you to regularly destroy anything that might be interpreted as being filthy for whatever reason. Failure to do your task leads to the termination of your soul. This kills you.

Alois Trancy+450CP (Masters only): You were not born into nobility, instead you pulled an Alois Trancy. This has skewed your sense of morality and comes with certain memories that you can’t seem to get rid of. This drawback cannot be taken with Alois Mildly.

Alois Mildly+450CP (Masters only): You were not born into nobility, instead you were taken in as the companion of a kindly, old man. Your friendship resulted in him naming you his heir and then you killed him. You are just as psychotic a child as one who would have taken the Alois Trancy drawback, and you will always remember the feeling of you greedy fingers strangling the life out of his weakened body. This drawback cannot be taken with Alois Trancy.

***THE END: *You may return home and end your chain, keeping all your gathered powers.

*You may continue your chain, choosing your next Jump.

*You may continue your life her indefinitely, ending your chain but keeping all your gathered powers.

Notes:

Manga0CP and Anime0CP are there for a reason. It is advised you know the fundamental difference between them before you choose.

Alois Trancy+450CP is kept vague for a reason. It is advised you know who Alois Trancy was and how he rose to power before considering taking this drawback.

Every living being has a Cinematic Record. Yes, even Eldritch Horrors whose Records might span billions of years.
