Current Binding Perks:
Shroud Of Power:
You gain a semi-sapient cape of solidified energy that acts as an extension of your will. It shifts and transforms at a thought, even unconscious ones. By draping it over or wrapping up a waifu with it, you are able to infuse your target with your will and bind them to it. Take Body Tune-Up and Athletic Talent for free. Shroud techniques are mystical arts that benefit from Soul Talent, so take that for free as well. This cape is subject to the same protections as the company smart device. It can shift its form and texture into a wide variety of shapes and imitate any other outfit, ropes, tendrils, hands, blades, and similar forms.
The constructs of the Shroud may have the textures and forms of textiles like leathers, latex, or other forms of clothing. The shroud is extremely durable and capable of significant amounts of strength and speed, and you gain a form of tactile feedback from it. Once completely infused, the waifu becomes one of your Shroud-bound. A newly Shroud-bound waifu's clothes and makeup are absorbed into a cloak of her own, subordinate to your Shroud, and replaced with a new thematic style in line with your tastes and the personal mark of your Seal.
A Shroud-bound waifu will always consider her cloak her most comfortable outfit, but she may still dismiss it and wear normal outfits at any time. Both you and the waifu will be able to manipulate her outfit much like you can with your Shroud, though your will supersedes hers in such manners. These powers are innate abilities, granted by the Shroud, and do not require any magical talent. Altogether, this is enough to push any blue-star subject up to Tier 4 or any copper-star up one tier, but is not a significant gain for higher tiers.
Your own rating immediately increases to Tier 5, if it wasn't already, and can increase further as you train with the Shroud and discover new uses. A new Shroud capture gains a subconscious awareness of your activity and needs. They may even respond to orders you haven't consciously given yet. They will greatly struggle to go against your direct orders, and even the strongest-willed subjects will be unable to go against your intent once bound. Additionally, the infusion will shift Shroud-bound companions' figures to your tastes.
Shroud Captures: Capturing To capture a target, you or your Shroud must maintain contact with them or one of their projections until you've infused enough of your will, whether through the target wearing an outfit your Shroud has been transformed into, being cocooned by your Shroud's constructs, or similar. As a general rule, the more of your Shroud is focused on, inside of, or otherwise in contact with your target, the less time it takes.
The greater the power, will, or resistance your target has, the longer it will take. With the entirety of your Shroud around a target, even if they put their all into the struggle, it will usually take less than a minute for a blue-star subject, under ten minutes for a copper-star subject, an hour for a silver-star subject, three hours for a gold-star subject, and 12 hours for a TX subject. Lesser amounts of your Shroud in contact with a target, or only intermittent contact, will extend the time required, up to years.
Other factors can reduce the required time. Examples include the number of orifices your Shroud has penetrated, any of your essence/fluids you have inside her, or if she's unconscious, been recently defeated by you or your retinue, having sex with you or your retinue, or consenting to the bind. As a general rule, each additional factor reduces the time required to complete the infusion by half.
A willing and aware (but not necessarily informed or 'unassisted' consent) target can make the process functionally instantaneous regardless of their personal power. Until she is bound, your accumulated will within her will slowly dissipate whenever she loses contact with your Shroud. It takes approximately a month for the process to completely reset for a waifu who's just short of being fully captured. Shroud-bound do not count as your Shroud for the purposes of binding new targets. Direct contact with one will, however, delay the fading of any will you've already built up within her. If a target has an already-existing mental or spiritual connection to other bodies or people, the shroud can follow that connection to bind everyone on it at once.
This also applies to summon creatures' phantasms to capture the summons at their homes. Examples of this include the Misaka Network, divine avatars or those who've taken mortal hosts, and multi-summon Servants like Gemini, the Valkyrie squads, or Anne and Mary. Mere followers or even clerics of a god do not count.
Elemental Shroud:(Space-Time)
Congratulations! Your Shroud has been upgraded to the elemental manifestation type! Choose one element for your personal Shroud from the list in Additional Rules. (Your retinues' cloaks are not affected.) No longer purely physical, the Shroud is an elemental manifestation of your will, granting you a noticeable buff to your affinity with that element, as well as allowing you to generate and control significant amounts of it. Your Shroud's manifestation is always intense and obvious, such as a black void for Umbral Shrouds, burning flames or magma for a Volcanic Shroud, or a seemingly star-filled cosmos for the Astral Shroud. As an extension of your will, it will only harm that which you wish it to harm.
You may take control of a natural manifestation of your element by mixing in some of your Shroud into it. Manifestations of the element with a will of their own must be infused with your will the same way a waifu must. However, a willing manifestation may allow you to manipulate them, such as using a Cyber Shroud to repair a willing gynoid. Willful manifestations must either be bound like any other capture or released when you have no further need of their substance. These elemental shapes and tendrils must be contiguous with you or each other. Portions of Shroud that lose contact begin to dissipate, generally within ten to thirty seconds. Your waifus, their Cloaks, and waifus in multiple bodies all count as "you" for the purposes of Shroud sustenance.
As an example, you can create a ring with the Xeric Shroud that would quickly crumble into nothingness if it left your body, but it would not if one of your waifus wore it. Your Shroud can only be damaged by things which could feasibly harm the element itself, such as water affecting the Volcanic Shroud while physical strikes cannot, or gravitational effects damaging the Void Shroud. Even non-physical elements such as light and shadow are capable of becoming tangible, such as by becoming the physical cloak once more, though by doing so they can be damaged by physical forces. Each specific element, additionally, provides free Talents and/or Defenses, as specified in the Elements listing in Additional Rules.
Astral (Space-Time) Elemental Ability: Spatial warping and temporal generation and control. Constructs appear to be starry voids. Intense effects tend to visually involve those starry voids, loud ticking of a clock, or even dancing stars around the user, while subtle effects can involve simple effects like flight and temporal acceleration without any obvious signifiers. The Void Shroud has been consistently rated as the single most difficult Shroud to master by 4.231638 * 10^97 users, as the automatic defenses against harming unintended things with the Shroud make it difficult to fully utilize. Purchase with caution!
Body Effects: My god, it's full of stars! Specifically the pupils, which seem to go on forever. The insides of orifices may also seem to hint at further cosmos within, and the user appearing larger or smaller than they truly should out of the corner of one's eye.
Streamlined Costume Features: Semi-sheer material that glitters and sparkles, feminine designs tend to involve deep cleavage, while masculine tend to involve black latex.
Heavy Costume Features: Dark, spacesuit-like outfit, the material glittering with pinpricks of light like stars.
Freebies: Paradox Defense
Current Lures:
Sticky Fingers
Faerie Feast
Potpourri
Zenryoku Zenkai
Sticky Fingers (Cost: 5): You know all the points that make a waifu melt. You can play her like a piano. Your very touch is electrifying. You are also a sexual savant. Keep a waifu on the edge long enough, and she'll promise anything to make it stop. With your skills, she'll be sure to keep that promise. This lure cannot affect targets who lack a sense of touch.
Faerie Feast (Cost: 10): Your cooking is supernaturally good, capable of making miracles from the worst ingredients. Just one taste is enough to hook a waifu for life - assuming, of course, that she can taste. Even if she doesn't like you, she'll be unable to imagine a world where she can't eat your cooking every day, and stay with you for that alone. Over time, you can leverage this dependence into obedience through simple operant conditioning and, in turn, create real affection by enforcing faked affection. The quality of your ingredients doesn't matter, but they must be real ingredients. This lure will not let you cook without the proper tools, unless you have an adequate substitute. This lure also covers drink-mixing, butchery, and chemical food processing, but does not help with gardening, farming, animal husbandry, fishing, etc. - that's biology, not chemistry. If you want to use this lure's gifts as a professional skill, you can dial your ability down to world-class-chef levels, enough to ensure great business (and plenty of repeat customers) without tripping any "this food might be literally addictive" alarms. This lure cannot affect targets who lack a sense of taste.
Potpourri (Cost: 20):Your sense of smell is more acute than most, detecting and cataloging scents and their origin, and studying others to see their reactions to them. You have also gained some control over how you smell, letting you manipulate others on a level that most would never notice and the rest might just think unusual. From the scent of roses to call up some passion in a romance, to that of freshly baked cookies to aid in relaxing others, you have figured out how to use those scents to alter their emotions, often convincing them to let their guard down or spark conflicts between others. This also allows you to pick up on pheromonal cues and scent based languages/markings, if you have some experience with them. You can also choose to "tune out" specific scents after some experience.
This perk cannot affect targets who lack a sense of smell.
Zenryoku Zenkai(Cost: 20): Full Power! Total Destruction! Targets you defeat in combat or another contest, whether physical, mental, or social in nature, will fall for you all the harder. You'll be at the forefront of all their thoughts as their wish to meet you again to even the score twists itself into a more romantic or sexual yearning. The more decisive and dramatic your victory, and the higher the perceived stakes for each of you, the stronger this lure's effect. Defeating a target in a training spar will have only negligible results, but stopping a villainess in a life-or-death battle for the fate of a universe will add her to your harem practically the moment she wakes up.
This lure is optimized for symmetric 1v1 duels in the target's specialty field. The contest must be initiated or otherwise freely accepted by the target, even implicitly. This lure drops in effectiveness the more you rely on equal teammates; in contests of leadership ability, from team sports to military command, any unit who follows your instructions or plans will not count as a teammate. If your target catches you cheating in a match that has strict rules, this lure will not apply to the result even if you nominally win. If you catch your opponent cheating in such a match, this lure will still apply to the result even if you nominally lose.
Current Talents:
Body Tune-Up
Athletic
Soul
Everlasting
Martial
Communication
Blessed
Body Tune-Up (Cost: 5) You lift. Your body is now in perfect fitness and health, with significant muscle growth, within healthy standards for your species. For most humanoids, if your natural height was less, you are now between 170 and 210 cm tall - or will be, if you aren't yet fully grown. Your clothes are all resized and your muscle memory adjusted to fit. (You may opt out of this height boost.) In the event of a mismatch, your body will change to match your gender identity, reflecting what you might have looked like if you'd been born as such, unless you created or maintained a mismatch with your choice of targets for Substitute or Possess. You knew what you were getting into when you did that.
All unwanted pre-existing medical conditions, from skin blemishes and unwanted body hair to chronic disease, missing limbs, detrimental genetic irregularities, and physical transformations are erased. (Cyborgs will find their reproductive system restored and augmentations optimized within their technological base.) This full heal will automatically trigger only once for each member of your retinue, including yourself: when you first purchase this perk or when the person joins your retinue, whichever happens second. You are immune to further minor illnesses, but not diseases or injuries. All healing or medical operations performed on you will complete without complications, residual pain, or unwanted scars.
The individual benefits of this Talent may also apply, at your discretion, to any/all of your purchased and captured subjects. Unwanted conditions are erased according to your wants, not theirs. If you purchased Extra, Substitute, or Possess, this perk will be retroactively applied to your new body, with the exception noted above.
Communication Talent (Cost: 10): You understand. You can read a room, spot deceit or employ your own, know when to speak and when to hold your tongue, and find the right words to say for good or ill. You will neither be That Guy whom women warn their friends about, nor the otaku nerd whose obsessions drive others away.
This does not lend any additional power to your words - that's what Siren's Song is for - nor will it make you enjoy social interactions for their own sake. It only guarantees knowledge and competence. Additionally, you are immediately fluent in any spoken language you encounter and will speak it like any native in only a few days, with mastery of the written form taking a week on average; this part always applies to your retinue as well. Finally, you have a prodigious talent for writing, regardless of whether the subject is fiction or nonfiction.
Soul Talent (Cost: 10): You feel. You have prodigious talent for ki arts (aura, chi, Hamon, Phonic Gain, Spiral Power, etc.) and magic, and will rapidly learn any such personal mystical arts you encounter and are capable of using.This does not apply to purely scientific forms of magic. Many magical styles benefit from both Soul and Science Talents.
In these cases, Soul Talent improves your improvisation ability and raw power. To unlock new types of personal mystical arts beyond "styles anyone can use" and whatever might be unlocked by your Extra, Substitute, or Possess origin, use Added Potential or various Heritages.
Blessed Talent (Cost: 30): Fortuna and her peers smile upon you. Higher powers, whether they're deities, demons, or merely greater elementals or other spirits, will warm up to you more quickly than just anyone. Blessings or gifts given to you will be more powerful or useful, and curses or smitings aimed at your enemies will be more effective, scaling to how much the specific higher power likes you compared to who- or whatever you're calling upon them for.
If you are a god, the use of your own godly powers benefits from Soul Talent instead. In that case, if you also have Talent Sharing for this perk, it will remain useful for anyone in your retinue who calls upon your power.
Everlasting Talent (Cost: 10): You live. You have weak immortality and eternal youth. If you are older than the peak age for your species (25 years for humans), your body is reset to that point; otherwise you'll continue to physically mature to that point but not experience any aging afterwards. This will not interfere with deliberate age-manipulation effects from within your retinue, whether from the company's transformation suite or third-parties.
If your maturation process had been halted by any means, it will now continue until your peak age. The "Fog of Ages," including atrophy of unused skills, will never affect you. This perk will not make you unkillable or grant any form of auto-resurrection. It just means you won't grow feeble and die of "natural causes," so don't try anything foolish. The benefits of this perk will always apply to your purchased and captured subjects, but you can disable it for specific individuals if you wish.
Athletic Talent (Cost: 5): You can rapidly learn any non-supernatural athletic skills you encounter: acrobatics, physical sports, parkour, swimming, etc. This includes physical ability as well. Skills directly related to combat fall under Martial Talent instead, while supernatural extensions of skill are affected by Psychic, Soul, or other Talents.
Martial Talent (Cost: 10): You fight. You have prodigious martial talent and can rapidly learn any personal, non-supernatural combat skills you encounter, whether melee or ranged. Supernatural extensions of martial skill are instead affected by Psychic, Soul, Science, or Land Talents. This Talent applies to both command ability and personal skill.
Current Defenses:(Fully Bought Defenses Are Level 2 Or x2)(Level 2 Defenses Are Immunity Level)
Paradox x1
Trace x2
Destiny x1
Body x2
Wild x2
Mind x2
Corruption x1
Body Defense (Cost: 10) (Level 2): You have protection from all diseases, poisons, and targeted radiation. Lethal or crippling afflictions will leave you sick enough to most likely stay in bed, unless you really have to move - because you're attacked, for example. Anything short of that will leave you weakened and uncomfortable, but functional. Additionally, you get an extra one-time full heal, identical to the one offered by Body Tune-Up, with the first purchase of each level of this Defense. These are counted separately for each member of your retinue, including yourself and anyone acquired after the purchase of this Defense. These may be kept for future use. This perk still does not protect against injury or provide any sort of healing factor; if you want one, you'll have to find it yourself.
Wild Defense (Cost: 10) (Level 2): You are equally comfortable on a glacier as you are in a sandy desert, steamy jungle, irradiated wasteland, or temperate floodplain. Combined with Body Defense, you are never at risk of suffocation in a gaseous atmosphere. You can dive far deeper than any human, provided you bring an air supply with you. At the base level, survival will not necessarily be pleasant. Non-fatal/crippling injuries (burns, crush or decompression injuries) are a real possibility.
Corruption Defense (Cost: 50) (Level One): Metaphysically corruptive effects, whether environmental or targeted in nature, are slower to affect you, with diminishing returns the farther the corruption would take you from your fundamental self. After they wear off, you may choose to retain effects that would normally be permanent (plus any attendant transformations, if you have those defenses) as a sort of superpowered evil side, or a separate alter ego to converse with.
These remain fundamentally you, just a different version of you seen through a different lens. Other Defenses such as Body, Stress, Addiction, Mind, and Drain may prove extremely useful, depending on the specifics of such a scenario.
Trace Defense (Cost: 100) (Level Two): You are the master of your trail. Hostile and neutral remote viewing attempts: precognition, postcognition, scrying, dream visitation, etc. will have a harder time perceiving you. The same forms of resistance from Information Defense can manifest with this perk as well.
At the immunity level, supernatural observers might only see a world where you don't exist. This does not apply to direct naked-eye observation, other forms of mundane (technological) surveillance and analysis, or Dragon Aura's pull on higher-tier waifus.
Destiny Defense (Cost: 50) (Level One): You are the master of your fate. Attempts to change your fate or luck will be more difficult, less reliable, and weaker than they would normally be - increasingly so the more directly they target you instead of just your surroundings, the more improbable they are, and the more precision they require. Changes that do go through will be more easy to reverse than they would be otherwise.
As with the other Defense perks, you may still experience any beneficial effects of these sorts of manipulation even if you have the second perk for immunity.
Paradox Defense (Cost: 50) (Level One): You are the master of your timeline. Temporal slowdowns will have increasingly weaker effects on you the stronger they are - a weak slowing effect will be even weaker, but a stronger one and even a total time-stop will not leave you completely unable to react. You will retain memories of previous timelines, loops, or other resets, even if they are faded or incomplete, and any attempts to spy on or change your timeline will have the same problems mentioned under Information, Trace, and Destiny Defenses. Attempts to erase you entirely will merely leave you weakened, faded, or flickering into and out of existence randomly.
This perk also blocks forced unwanted teleportation, whether that involves sending you somewhere else or sending something into your current position. Resistance to such effects may make the teleport require more effort or send you somewhere inconvenient to both yourself and the teleporter.
Essence of the Waifu App:
Originally by Jus4532
By consuming this Essence, you are given a high-tech Device and all the following effects. The Device resembles a modern smartphone made entirely of clear glass and can be used for all of the things a smartphone, tablet, or computer can be used for, as well as for its primary function: running the Waifu App.
The Device has a base dimension of approximately 170mm x 75mm x 9mm and may be freely expanded up to 20 times that height and width. Additionally, the processing power of the Device is well beyond anything currently existing on Earth and will automatically upgrade itself should Earth technology catch up or should you move to a multiverse with more advanced technology. Despite this, the Device can run any app, software, or program no matter what ecosystem it was designed for.
The Device is always connected to the Waifu App, as well as the local internet (or equivalent) and any internet or equivalent previously connected to. These connections are entirely secure and cannot be traced, tracked, hacked, exploited, identified, or otherwise maliciously used in any fashion.
Additional upgrades, features, accessories, apps, and usages for the Device may be purchased in the Waifu App.
An app (the titular Waifu App) is installed on your device, allowing you to meet all kinds of waifus that exist throughout the omniverse.
This app can never be deleted, hidden, or rendered non-functional. The only person who can see and use this app is you, although waifus may use the app with your explicit permission for any permitted purpose other than purchasing waifus. Additionally, the Device itself will not attract any unusual attention should it be inappropriate for your current time, location, or circumstances.
You gain one free opportunity to re-sculpt your body to your ideal desires. This is available upon first activation of the Waifu App and may be used at any time. Changes will, by default, be applied over the next time you sleep for more than two standard Earth hours.
Further transformations may be purchased in the Waifu App and various powers of shape-shifting.
This transformation may, at your discretion, include the healing of any and all physical or mental injuries, ailments, diseases, sicknesses, and conditions, restoring you to the peak of health.
Your Device can be summoned at will, no matter its current multiversal location, and will always return to your side automatically if it is ever stolen or missing. The Device is indestructible, has an indefinite charge, and will never be rendered non-functional or non-operational.
The Waifu App gives you access to the Waifu Catalog: a massive catalog of the waifus from the infinite omniverse, strangely resembling the SwiftRosenthal Waifu Catalog CYOA and representing waifus from all sorts of universes, familiar and unfamiliar. Additionally, the Waifu Catalog includes all of the bonuses and extras for sale that exist in the CYOA and all of its official and unofficial expansions.
The user can enter anything or anyone missing from the Waifu Catalog, and it will automatically be appraised and purchasable for a fair value. Similarly, adjustments to waifus, powers, or any other purchasable entry can be requested and will always be made available for an appropriate purchase price. Adjustments, custom orders, or personalized items will not be priced differently than default entries solely on the basis of customized orders.
Every week (7 standard Earth days), you will be automatically granted 300 Waifu Points (15,600 WP Per Year) (WPs). These points will not only help you meet waifus from the catalog but will also allow you to buy perks, talents, defenses, lures, heritages, powers, bindings, and other purchasable abilities, items, and upgrades that exist in the official and unofficial Waifu Catalogs. You may convert 2,000 WP for an IMG/11-tier ticket to either meet an 11-tier waifu or purchase a perk, item, or other entry that is equal to that ticket.
You may refund purchases of non-waifu entries such as powers, perks, and items, but you will only receive half of the spent WPs from the refund. You can not refund waifus.
You may use bindings to capture waifus, but you will not get extra WPs for those captures, nor may you sell them. All bindings must be individually confirmed by you before the captured counts as one of your waifus. This includes confession-based captures.
Additional points are available for completing tasks, missions, scenarios, and challenges throughout the omniverse. Such requests will be fully optional and are guaranteed not to cross any of your ethical or moral boundaries, though the actions taken in resolving any tasks are entirely in your hands. An updated list of such options will be available at all times through the Waifu App. Additionally, requests for specific or approximate unlisted scenarios may be made and will be elaborated on and appraised by the Waifu App, granting an appropriate WP reward for their completion.
The app allows you to meet waifus throughout the infinite omniverse. Unlike the CYOA, the waifus you summoned through this app are not clones or trafficking victims of the Company but consenting waifus that are drawn from across the omniverse according to your desires and general Waifu App specifications. These are the guidelines for the waifus picked by the Waifu App:
They will always be personally, romantically, sexually, and otherwise compatible with you and will be highly likely to quickly and heavily fall for you.
Waifus selected will not judge or care about your physical appearance or mental condition other than in a constructive and caring fashion.
They will always be loyal, respectful, and considerate towards you so long as you do not abuse or harm them and treat them reciprocally with respect and care.
They will never be physically or emotionally violent or abusive towards you. This does not extend to prohibiting self-defense or training/sparring.
They will always be very patient and understanding towards you, willing to compromise and cooperate to solve any issues that arise inside or outside your relationship.
They can feel and express affection and love toward you, even if they are otherwise heartless and evil.
They will see you as a priority in their life and will focus on your safety and well-being through maintaining individual goals, desires, priorities, and wishes so long as these do not conflict with your safety and well-being.
They will listen and obey your wishes as long as such wishes are not stupid, inane, unreasonably harmful to them, or against their core values. No mental compulsion is enacted outside of further purchased bindings; this is just a selected inclination.
They will not mind you having a harem, nor will they ever get jealous or tired of you. Additionally, they will be strongly open to and in favor of forming bonds of companionship, affection, and/or love (Not Sexual If Desired) with other waifus bonded to you, though such bonds will never be as strong as their bonds to you.
They will not mind leaving their original universe forever for any reason.
They will be willing to accept that they are not the supreme authority in their relationship with you and other waifus, will be happy working for the well-being of the group, and will not attempt to usurp or work against the authority of you or other waifus bonded to you.
If your waifus is ever killed or erased from existence, the app will resurrect them in a safe location to full health in both mind and body after 24 hours. This is not a clone nor a multiverse duplicate but the same waifu fully restored and with the trauma of their death muted.
Any waifus whose powers come from an external source will have that connection permanently severed, and their powers will be replicated as innate abilities. Any waifu with a crippling weakness will find themselves no more affected by it than an ordinary human. Any waifu whose power is innately self-destructive, uncontrollable, or presenting a pressing and unintentional danger to you or other waifus will have those aspects of their powers fixed.
Paying for the cost of a waifu will automatically select a version of that waifu from the omniverse that conforms to your stated and unconscious desires for that waifu and is naturally compatible with you on a personal level. By making the purchase, you will be temporarily removed to the pocket dimension to meet the selected waifu and come to a mutual agreement with them on whether you wish to be bound together. Both of your consents confirming the purchase will charge your account the stated number of WPs, apply any agreed-upon bindings or other effects you have previously purchased, and return you to your previous dimension, place, and time.
Though exceedingly rare, occasionally, an agreement with a waifu can not be reached. In such a case, you will both be returned to your respective previous dimensions, places, and times in the omniverse. You will not be charged WPs but will have the option of refining your specified parameters for the waifu, selecting a different entry to purchase, or doing nothing.
Once returned to your place in the omniverse, the waifu will be delivered by whatever method is selected. By default, this is an instant, unpreventable, and harmless teleportation to your location.
Delivery of all other entries purchased will be immediate and directly to you, your device, your home, or your pocket dimension as may be applicable. Physical, spiritual, and mental changes to the user will default to delivery during the next sleeping period longer than two standard Earth hours unless otherwise requested.
All non-waifu purchases made from the Waifu App, including powers, heritages, lures, talents, defenses, abilities, items, locations, upgrades, knowledge, and more, are guaranteed to not be harmful or inconvenient to you or any waifu they are applied to.
Similar to the original CYOA, the powers granted by these perks cannot be nullified, copied, adapted to (unless allowed to), or stolen.
This includes but is not limited to unwanted transformative effects, mental, soul, or personality changes, compulsions, or alterations; physical harm, lifespan shortenings, disease, or degenerative effects; and conflicts between multiple purchased items.
Additionally, powers typically relying on external sources (such as the warp, the force, a foreign soul, a god or faith, or other such sources) have that connection permanently severed and are replicated as completely innate, self-powered abilities with all the potential, efficiency, and power of the original ability. No purchase shall at any time serve as a vector, backdoor, or weakness for an external force (such as warp chaos gods, the dark side of the force, dark magic, the phoenix force, or others) to corrupt or harm you or any of your waifus. The harm done by you, the user, with any non-waifu entry purchased from the Waifu App to yourself or any others is not covered by this guarantee.
Unless you specifically draw attention to them, nothing purchased from the Waifu App will be noticed as abnormal or unnatural. This includes changes to your physical self, new people in your life, and your polygamous relationship with those people. Supernatural talents or technological marvels (especially in worlds where those do not exist) will draw attention, as will skills, knowledge, or abilities you or your waifus may have or purchase, but the suddenness of acquisition of any such things will not be noticed.
Additional purchases within the Waifu App may have the primary effect of making the user completely unremarkable even when using obviously unnatural purchases or may make the user the center of attention even when nothing unusual is displayed, but all such entries will be clearly labeled and intended for such a purpose.
The Waifu App, unlike the CYOA, is based on, and the Company there is guaranteed to not be working for any hidden or malicious purpose. No harm, inconvenience, or misfortune will come to any non-consenting inhabitant of the omniverse due to your patronage of the Waifu App, purchases you make with the Waifu App, or the Waifu App's continued existence. The harm done by you, the user, with or to any waifu or other entry purchased is not covered by this guarantee, though no harm will be done solely from the act of purchasing.
The Waifu App and associated Devices are provided to you free of any cost, liability, bargain, deal, contract, debt, responsibility, duty, or other drawback. Nothing is taken in exchange, including but not limited to your money, time, years of your life, purpose, or your soul.
Additionally, accepting the Device and Waifu App is free of any hidden negative effects, penalties, and detriments, including but not limited to legal penalty, bad luck, death, or eternal damnation. The Device, Waifu App access, and any non-waifu entry purchased are considered to be entirely your property and may not be repossessed, confiscated, or revoked by any entity at any time. Waifus are always considered their own person, despite any bonds to you, but will never be removed, released, or killed without their informed and unforced consent.
