Essence ofYoko Taro

You gain a free age and appearance change to whatever you want.

You are immune to the Red Eye Disease, White Chlorination Syndrome, and Logic Virus, and are incredibly resistant to similarly corruptive influences.

You have incredible willpower and resolve to keep going through all manner of hardship, pain, and despair. You also recover from trauma and depression a lot quicker than normal.

You gain a peak human physique, which takes quite well to being enhanced by magic.

You are an expert in the use of several weapons, from swords to spears to axes and the like. You also have the odd ability to store weapons and quickly swap between them.

You have access to all magic systems of Yoko Taro settings (MASO-based magic, etc.). In addition to the more normal magic, you can always shoot red orbs in varying patterns, speeds and quantities.

You now have your own Pod, a small AI assistant flying robot drone with a variety of useful functions, which include (but are not limited to): hacking, analysis, scanning, searching items, shooting lasers/guns/missiles, slowing time on nearby enemies, having extensive databases on many different things, and more. It will be very loyal to you.

You now have a Grimmoire, a sentient floating magic book filled with powerful Sealed Verses. Regardless of its personality, it will be very loyal to you.

You are a very charismatic leader, to the point you could keep a bunch of frankly terrifying, murderous, depressed, broken, misanthropic, etc. people stable and even try to resolve some of their issues with some degree of success.

You are also a very good at fishing.

You have unusually high luck in avoiding Bad Ends for yourself and those close to you.

Optionally, you gain ownership and leadership of YoRHa and its forces, with the Androids loyally serving you. This also comes with the Bunker space station as a base, which you may seamlessly merge with another space station base you may have.

Optionally, you gain a database containing the various technological advancements of Nier Humanity (magic research, weapon schematics, Project Gestalt, etc.).

Optionally, you become one or more of these Yoko Taro Player Avatars, gaining their memories, experiences, skills, abilities, relationships/bonds, and so on. How this works if you become multiple of them is up to you. If you do this and insert yourself into their works, you get self-inserted into them by default (because they are you).

SINoALICE Player.

Nier Reincarnation Player.

You may gain any Yoko Taro characters of your choice as your companions. By default you will quickly grow a bond with them. You may choose what relationships you will develop with each of these companions (being lovers, friends, etc.). If relevant (self-insert into their world, world merge, etc.), you are guaranteed to meet these companions in-universe, meeting them in positive circumstances (this resurrects companions dead by that point, which may draw attention). If you became YoRHA’s leader, it’s named characters (2B, A2, 9S White, etc.) come along as companions. If you became a Player Avatar, you automatically gain these companions:

SINoALICE Player: The Library Characters (Alice, Snow White, etc.)

Nier Reincarnation Player: The Memory Characters (Akeha, etc.).

Optionally, you may Self-Insert into any Yoko Taro series (Drakengard, Nier, SINoAlice, etc.), a variant (fanfics, etc.), or any setting with official crossovers with Yoko Taro works (2B seems to end up in weird places a lot). You may choose when, where, and what world. The specifics are up you; maybe you get dropped in (default), maybe you insert yourself into or replace a certain character, maybe you get reincarnated, maybe you get merged with a local counterpart of yourself, etc.

Curiously, robot/cyborg girls (YoRHa, Nikke, Constructs, etc.) you have access to through Essences have been upgraded to be able to have sex and children if they weren’t already able to. The upgrade can be seamlessly applied to other robot/cyborg girls too. But why would this be here?
