Floating through that blankness of non-life was still as strange as it was the first time. But at least this time it was less void-without-body and more space-bright-with-stars. We even had a body to exist in this time!
Though...
Those feelings of grief and unwillingness really did put a bummer on things.
Light: Cheer up, Little Lord.
Light: Didn't we already mourn them before this came?
Yea. But I'd still...
Blank: Let him mourn for a bit.
Blank: He knows.
Blank: He just needs a bit of time to let go.
I smiled a bitter thing.
Sending Blank a thankful thought, I allowed myself to just exist.
The strange thought-body that I'd gained, existed here, but it wasn't the one I'd lived a life in, but still, I drifted through that space filled with miniature stars, galaxies, nebulas, the lot.

[Plane State Selection]
[ ] APOC-XXX
You wake up to a world enduring an apocalyptic reality. The world has ended, and the remnants of humanity are struggling to survive in their new reality. What happened to the world is unknown (randomly selected), but be aware that life as you know it has ceased to exist. As recompense, you will be awarded an additional Two Trait Points.
[ ] MIR-XXX
You awaken in a world disarmingly similar to your own, only with a few very solid differences. The choices are yours, from an entire world of genderswapped humans to having dogs be the dominant species on Earth. Perhaps America lost the Cold War, or the Industrial Revolution was postponed for a century. Whatever the case, nothing will be the way you remembered it.
[ ] UNKN-XXX
You find yourself transported to a fictional world, with all the dangers and excitement therein. The world is chosen at random, but it will be one you are at least passably familiar with. As recompense, you will be awarded an additional Trait Point.

Blank: You sure about this?
I really don't have anything to lose.

Huh.
Blank: That's...

[Trait Selection]
You have been awarded Five Trait Points based on the Completion Status of your previous game. An additional One Trait Point has been added due to World State: Stranger Than Fiction. An additional Two Trait Points has been added due to acculumated Variant Blessings: "Trickster" and "Winter". Each Trait may only be taken once unless specified otherwise. Effects are cumulative.
Note: Traits are heavily influenced by the [Plane] and its characteristics, with some minor influence from the previous [Plane] sometimes taking precedent, and rarely 'yourself' being the greatest influence.
[ ] Planeswalker II (II/VI): If you survive in your current world for eight years, you gain the ability to choose a different World State upon your death with all of your skills and Traits intact. Any additional Trait Points gained in this world can be used to purchase additional Traits upon relocating. Note: Your soul now bears a [Mark of Planeswalking].
[ ] Caged Bird: You are born to tradition, status, power, there is cost to that but- also, great opportunity.
[ ] Bloodline of Whirlpools (^Wolverine): Being of Uzumaki heritage grants you impressive chakra reserves, the ability to quickly heal yourself, and others, using chakra, a longer life span, and slower aging than most. Minor additions also include, an affinity for fuinjutsu, the sea, and water in general, and, finally, a small resistance to demonic chakra. Note: If chosen, your Wolverine trait will be incorporated into and will massively enhance this trait's self regenerative factor.
[ ] Sage Blood (X|+<>^Animagus): As a descendent of the sage, all animals and beasts you encounter will automatically be non-hostile to you, summons will have a good impression of you, and tailed beasts will be friendly towards you. If a summons contract has been made, sage mode training and all things involving nature chakra will be much easier for you to understand, and work with, than others. Note: If chosen, your Animagus trait will be incorporated into this trait's sage mode aspect, final form dependent on the summoning contract and other factors.
[ ] King's Qualification (!*!): Your soul itself has been branded as worthy. Of what? Now that- is the question.
[ ] Abyss Siren (X|+): Your voice is, itself, a treasure of the sea, able to hypnotize, or compel, anything with ears into following your will, but only on the premise that you remain "seaborne". As a creature of the abyssal sea, a siren at that, you have a connection with water, sound, and darkness which is manifested in several manners. Note: If chosen, those elemental manifestations will be factored in after all other traits had been chosen.
[ ] Moon's Favored: You stem from a bloodline blessed by moonlight. Wolves consider you their kin, they will run alongside you. Dark-kin fear your blood, your bonded weapon(s) strike true. None can lie to you, you sniff out all falsehood.
[ ] Kamikakushi (^Incognito): You are a spirit -d̸̜̭͌ẽ̴̲͓m̷̜̔o̷̜̕n̶͚͗͘ child. Blessing? Curse? That is up to you to decide. Note: The myst cradles you as much as it thins within your presence.
[ ] Shinobi Child (X|+): You are able to select one foundational chakra jutsu/shinobi specialty that you'll be innately familiar with and are talented in. You will otherwise be of normal talent adside from areas impacted by other traits and your soul innate impact. Potential skills include Henge no Jutsu (Tranformation Technique), Kuchiyose no Jutsu* (Summoning Technique*), Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), Natural Genjutsu (Illusions) Talent, Natural Taijutsu (Martial) Talent, and Natural Fuinjutsu (Seals) Talent. Note: If Kuchiyose no Jutsu is chosen, know that some changes will be made to the technique to ensure its compatability with this trait.
[ ] Shinigami Eyes (!*!<>I/III): Your eyes see things which should not be, but you care more for them than their possibility, now don't you? Note: Just because a soul is one in the same, does not mean it will remember, and it certainly does not [S̸͓͔͊E̸̓͜͠Ê̷̻̚KNOWǗ̶̗͋N̵̙͎͝D̶̝̍̌E̶͓̰̽͒R̴̗̫̍̐S̸͇̙̀̐T̶̫̑͋͜À̸̺̀N̴͎̬̐Ď̴͙̝CARE].

I-!
...is- is this really real?
Light: This is good! This is-
Blank: Dangerous. It's dangerous.
Dark: Oh, don't be such a downer Blank!
Dark: Paranoia with no logical basis helps no one.
I- I don't care if it's a trap.
This is a [chance].
I would jump straight into the pit of hell itself- if that was what it took.

[x] Shinigami Eyes (!*!<>I/III): Your eyes see things which should not be, but you care more for them than their possibility, now don't you?

Blank: Good! Am I the only one in this damn family that has some self preservation instincts... *grumble*... *grumble*…
Light: Give zir a bit to cool down. Ze's worried.
Dark: Hn. Worrywart.
Yea :] , I know.
Plans for the others? We have a lot of points to spend, so it's more about what we don't want.
Dark: Choose whichever ya like, except maybe that other suspicious one. Blank would be rabid.
Hn, alright.

Blank: Good general choices.
Light: Agreed.
Yea. I just don't know which one to pick for the last two.
Blank: Isn't it easy? Just pick the siren, safe and useful.
Light: If you wanted safe, wouldn't the free innate power be better?
Dark: Are none of you adventurous? That spirit one sounds super interesting.
Don't argue :c
I think I'll pick...

[Perks and Disadvantages]
You may take a maximum of Three Perks and Three Disadvantages. Each Perk costs One Trait Point. Disadvantages taken award an additional One Trait Point each.
Note: Perks and Disadvantages are traits that are considered "general" application, meaning, they "overrule" other traits unless stated otherwise. Caution is recommended when choosing either as, even if Disadvantages do not completely carry over [Planes] as normal Traits and Perks do, choosing them will still increase the odds that they will show up in the selection again.
[ ] (Perk) Finders' Keepers': In a radius equal to the area which you have explored, 'items' [Lost] and [Ownerless] will find their way to you.
[ ] (Perk) Artist (X|~): You are preternaturally gifted with the arts. You perceive every sketch, drawing, painting, and more, as detailed diagrams, and can learn to recreate and draw inspiration from them with very little practice. With time, you will be able to create and comprehend inhuman arts as well.
[ ] (Perk) Soulbinding (I/V): You are given two chances throughout your current life to [Bind] an [item] of [significant] meaning to yourself, or the current [Plane], to your soul. These items will be stregthened by your soul in the direction of their own affinities, but all soulbound items will receive at least one trait in common; they will always [return] to you.
[ ] (Perk) Manga Page Pretty (X|~): You are always drawn to perfection, after battle your clothes are always only artfully torn, and any wounds you take will only leave aesthetically pleasing scars.
[ ] (Perk) Imagine Dungeon: You are able to layer a [Not-Illusion] onto the 'world'. This layer of [reality] will be to your specifications but nothing of the 'real' can be brought here and 'time' is also but an illusion.
[ ] (Disadvantage) Failed a Luck Check (X|=): You wake up in your new world under unfortunate circumstances and in a hostile environment. Nothing around you will be immediately lethal if you play your cards right, but you will in no way be considered safe.
[ ] (Disadvantage) Regression (X|=): You wake up as a small child, but with access to your adult mind and emotions. You will have to age naturally, and any Traits or abilities you possess will begin at weakened levels to compensate.
[ ] (Disadvantage) Headhunted (X|=): Every shadowy organization in the world wants a piece of you for one reason or another. They will never stop hunting you. Other organizations will only stop their pursuit if you are captured by one of them, or become powerful enough to be untouchable.
[ ] (Disadvantage) A Stolen Sociability: Out of the five primary types of human communication, verbal, non-verbal, written, listening, and visual. You will have one 'stolen' from you. Though you will be able to 'work around' or 'mitigate' this disadvantage, this 'stolen' type will never 'truly' be 'returned' to you.
[ ] (Disadvantage) Command Sigil (X|+): On your body is a sigil of command, which gives the first person that touches it power over you. You are compelled to obey them, but can resist their orders with [great] effort. You are not compelled to remain around them, and will not be compelled to obey any orders you are not present to witness. Note: Any others who touch the sigil after the first does not gain control over you. But they do get an understanding of the sigil's abilities and the fact that if the [Master] is dead, the 'spot' will be 'open'.

Well then...
Light: Pretty easy choices eh?
Dark: Ne~ even Dark will be happy with us this time.
Blank: True, just don't pick the-
Yea, yea, I know...

Light: Love...
I know, I know.
Dark: Oh let him have it, art is pretty cool anyway. Right, Blank?
Blank: Don't get me involve in this, I'm not the one who will have to deal with the consequences.
I had my reasons! It'll be good for Fuinjutsu... and it'll pair well with the traits we'd picked...
...
...ok, fine, I'll admit it.
I also picked it because... I've always wanted to be able to draw the memories of us and ours with the same detail that our memories had.
Light, Dark, Blank: ...*complicated emotions*...
