At first I had an idea, then I pondered about it and it felt too ridiculous to post. I'm a scrub.

>>10651238
Post it. It's not like anyone would ridicule an Apostle. Anyone who planned on living long, anyway.

Nyarlathotep.

So...a shapechanger. Millions of different forms.

Wait, what does it do?

Only assholes would sacrifice someone important to them for superpowers that aren't even that super.

what if your just holding onto the Behelit for someone else?

>>10651271
sacrifice someone you love and or are bro with and get a unique snowflake demon form.

A giant orange penis with walrus tusks.

This

>>10651271
In exchange for someone you hold most dear, you become a nigh-on invincible demon.
>>10651274
I know. But this is saying if you did that, what would you like to be able to turn into?

>>10651274
>implying you wouldn't.

>>10651200
Basically, is there even a way to decline the Apostles since they are twisting your subconscious desires against you? Unless you're hellbent on revenge like the certain nameless protagonist, that is.

>>10651307
Damn you SS. Damn you to hell. You killed Jade! (In a roundabout way)

I'd personally like to be an anthropomorphic horse with horsecocks for eyes, fingers, and testicles. And the ability to jizz deadly lasers.

A cross between Berserker armour and Lord Soth. Metal skin, no feelings as a downside.

Unleash the power of weeaboo and turn into a nine tailed fox demon in a human form with powers to manipulate others.

My demonic form.

>>10651390
I'd sacrifice the only thing I hold dear, my dignity. HAR HAR

>>10651332
Declining the offer gets you sent to hell.

You're really better off accepting.

Oh boy, I'd be sitting there for like a week trying to decide, and the God Hand would be all "Dammit, what's taking you so long?"

>>10651323
I wouldn't, Moralfag till the end.
>>10651317
This

This

>>10651339
Didn't kill her, only her dream-self. The trolls have talked about stuff she does later, including something which REALLY flushes the multiverse down the toilet.

Personally, I'd wait until he gets prototyped again, THEN pick that as a form.

>>10651410
declining only gets you sent to hell if you're already in hell.

>>10651418

FASTER THAN A LASER BULLET
LOUDER THAN AN ATOM BOMB
CHROMIUM PLATED BOILING METAL
BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS!

Doomrider ain't got shit.

I'd decline, even if it gets me sent to hell. I kinda like my bros, family, and friends happy.

>>10651341
Wait, what?

My demonic form would be Griffith.
Beautiful and kind and loving and charismatic... on the surface.
I'd lead an army to conquer all foes and be the greatest and most wonderful thing all the people had ever seen. I'd lead them to my grand capital and then I'd sacrifice the lot of them because that's what I do.

You won't actually decline. Shit will wait till you are broken and fucked, before triggering.

I'd turn into Moot. Habeeb it!

>>10651454

It's the song, relating to the being in the picture.

>>10651431
Well, the God Hand only show up if you're on the precipice and are at your most desperate.
It's your own selfish desire to live that calls them forth.
If you find a behelit and are a upstanding moralfag, you won't even have to deal with the God Hand.

I'd be a great figure encased in arcanic black armour and steeped in shadows. Wielding a gigantic sword wrapped in blue flame. I'd be wrapped in blue fire and my every step would bring with it doom. I'd be like a giant lich.

Fuck yeah.

>>10651418
So you would want to be faster than a bullet with a terrifying scream.

Dohoho moralfags.

You would turn down immortality for any reason at all?

You are a moralfag.

>>10651469
TWINKIE HOUSE!

One of my best bros just agreed to be the sacrifice for my power, awesome!

Going to mix myself a bit with a tiger, keep my face mostly the same though, and then have growing from my back bio armor like a Guyver Space Marine.

>>10651306
How would that work, exactly?

>>10651511
of what profit is a man who gains the world at the cost of his own soul?

I don't generally buy the whole "immortality is terrible you would hate it" angst of vampire bullshit, but quality of life is relevant. Pokey might be fine being immortal, immobile in a tiny box, beyond the end of time, but that isn't my bag. being able to have friends is kind of important to me.

Being a Godhand kind of means you are suffering, and everything near you, even stuff you take near you after the conversion, are cursed to suffer in misery.

I'd be cool with Highlander style immortality, though.

>>10651599
Isn't it pretty darn obvious?

I'd be an amorphous puddle of slime that can shape itself accordingly.

Try cutting me up with that sword of yours, Guts. I'll just ooze around it.

>>10651469
I'd turn into Moot's penis. Oh happy days ahead of me!

>>10651622

No, how would a penis have tusks? Would they be where your testicles would be?

>>10651642
He'd probably just set you on fire once he realized he couldn't RIP AND TEAR.

This would be my demon form

>>10651675
What are you? Raised in a barn?

>>10651697
You'd be The Chicken That Wasn't A Chicken?

>>10651705

HE'S A CHICKEN I TELL YOU! A GIANT CHICKEN!

>>10651705
No, I'm just curious as to where you'd put tusks on a penis.

i've got myself some g-crystal

I don't need any faggot ass godhands, i just need COURAGE

>>10651731
Look, im not gonna explain the obvious.

>>10651753
They'd be on the head, I'm guessing.

>>10651731

I also think you're retarded.

>>10651768
Where else would you have tusks? On your feet? Or in your butt? Of course they are on your head!

I would swallow my behelit then look for more to eat.
Imma gonna make a bitchin sword.

Whatever I'd be... It'd have to be massive

>>10651662

>>10651511
Yeah, well, I don't want to get CLEAVED AND SMOTE by Guts.

>>10651323
Paladin here. I'll smite the evil artifact

>>10651662
I came.

I'd become a giant oil spill

>>10651448
this
>>10651500
The God Hand doesn't even show up until you would accept the offer. If you truly reject it, they wouldn't even show up to offer.
If you did reject, meaning you died before you could accept, you do go to hell. Of course that doesn't mean anything because everyone goes to hell when they die in Berserk world .

>>10652056
One apostle rejected their offer for more power in exchange for his daughter's life.

A hand with an eye in the center.

>>10652082
And Femto/Griffith sent him to Hell.

>>10652095

A tralfamadorian?

Whatever it'd be, it would have lots of teeth.

Miura loev demons with lots of teeth.

A balrog.

Nothing says "Fear" like a 30 foot tall burning demon.

>>10651867
Nah, Guts doesn't CLEAVE AND SMITE, he RIPS AND TEARS.

>>10652082
He had already sacrificed his wife, but couldn't bring himself to sacrifice his daughter.

No, ok, guys, I got this.

I would be like, a giant praying mantis, but I'd have a human face (except for the mantis eyes) and instead of a lower body I'd have a hugely long snakelike tail. My exoscalesaton would be dark mottled black/brown, but every time my huge wingshells clicked open for a moment you'd see buzzing prismatic wings that glow like a HARMONY HARMONY rainbow and constantly flick off whirling shards of rainbow light. I'd take flight at dusk and dawn, and the sun's light shining through my rainbow wings would enthrall all who saw it, just as a low thrumming vibration of my flight would worm its way into their heads and drive them mad.

I've thought about this for a long time.

>>10652244
I'm not entirely sure WHAT verb to use to describe what he does when he swings that sword of his.

Decimate.

Annihilate.

Destroy.

But nothing on his cutting action...

>>10651200

I turn into Bob Ross.

>>10652442
Praying mantis are fucking scary.

Perfect killers and whatnot.

>>10652442
That... that actually sounds like something you'd see in Berserk, what with it still having your face.

A FATAL character. 5" by 5" penis, HO!

I would turn in to a giant wolf furry with 7 prehensile penises and 6 mouths.

this would be my warped, demonic form.

>>10652586
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE EXPLODING FOREVER!

>>10652586
AW FUCK!!! GAME OVER, MAN!!! GAME OVER!!!

>If you were allowed to choose your new warped, >demonic form, what would it be?

A panda!

I would become a giant, armoured juggernaut surrounded by levitating babies made of obsidian that ominously chant and mumble curses and blasphemous incantations

I would seek out pregnant women, my eyes of fire burning furiously, and I would lash their bodies with my barbed tongue and eat chunks of their flesh until only the bloody sack of the still full womb, which I would take back to my lair that I may add another minion to my collection through a dark ritual involving the sacrifice of 12 newly married couples

>>10652619
Some sort of demonc panda, with lots of fangs and your face somewhere on its body, or an ordinary panda?

>>10652645
Can't tell whether you're a /b/tard, a metalhead, or getting into the mindset of a Berserk villain.

>>10652655
or all three

>>10652655

1. I abandoned /b/ ages ago
2. I dont listen to music, much less metal
3. That was the intention yes

>>10652645
I was gonna post one but... Man... How the fuck do you compete with that?

>>10652775
There's always something like >>10651341, if you want to get something close.

>>10651200Let's say the Behelit activated (who am I kidding, it will activate if it found its way into your possession). Let's say you accepted the Godhand's offer (yet again, who am I kidding).

aren't you gonna ask "what do you sacrifice"?

>>10652825
No. We archived that already.

This would be my demon form

>>10651441


dude, that IS Doomrider. Judas Priest wrote that song when 40K was coming out.

I would be a little girl. ^_^

I'd be an inherently formless mist and take other shapes by consuming people/animals/creatures. Through absorbing living things I'd be able to mix and match their characteristics to become almost anything. I would sure as hell go around defeating and consuming other Behelit pact makers.

>>10652887
What the fuck.

My demon form.

I already activated my behelit...

This is the nightmarish form I chose, madness and despair are sown like seeds in my wake

Behold my demonic visage. The mere sight of which drives men to madness!

>>10652056
>>If you did reject, meaning you died before you could accept, you do go to hell. Of course that doesn't mean anything because everyone goes to hell when they die in Berserk world .

You know I wonder why some religions in the past had this notion. It's really really fucking depressing and fatalistic. I mean even for the Norse you have the out of dying in battle, but for say the Ancient Greeks its just "YA'LL FUCKED WHEN YER DEAD NIGGAS!"

A phantasm. I'm gonna read me some fucking minds, plumb some fucking depths, and fuck with some fucking heads.

Seriously, I'm pretty sure the only thing that scares The Black Swordsman is his own psyche. The White Hawk, on the other hand... well shit, what do you fuck with when everything's already been fucked over and all that's left is a deitic shell?

>>10652887
That picture sums up summer /tg/ nicely.

>my face

Sure is summer here

Whatever the hell this is, I'd make it my Apostle form.

Good sirs, many of you obviously know what demonic form I would choose.

>>10653120
Sergal?

how many of you are big enough losers that Games Workshop is what you'd sacrifice

>>10653109
>doesnt know about elysium, where good people go... and Tartarus, where bad people go... and that... other place in between where average people go

Read the Odyssey and Aeneid, and I'm pretty sure Hades is just "you hang out here in this cave forever and forget who you are. until you drink blood" while the Roman afterlife has Tartarus and Elysium and all that

>>10653051

Because those religions didn't have a Judeochristian view of hell. The Grecian afterlife had some nice places in it if you were a decent guy. Many christians doin't even have that view of hell, namely because there's damned little to actually support it biblically. Unless you bring in apocryphal materials, best reasoning says you just die.

>>10653124
Amazing deductive skills good sir. I am most impressed.

this

>>10653155

Aenid is by the Romans, so it's likely different. And I hardly think it's a mark of being 'summer' for not knowing every facet of Greek mythology - Would >>10653109 be able to explain the Zoroastrian afterlife?

I haven't read much into Greek mythology, which is why I joked about how the cartoon Hercules tricked me.

>>10653194
Close, but needs more nudity to be a proper Berserk character.

>>10653112

The veiled fiend.

At first glance it appears normal, a slightly chubby humanoid of no discernably remarkable qualities.

However this nonthreatening image is a facade, as the face you see is in fact the face of one of its victims. It is drawn to the radiating feelings of self-loathing and depression that befalls many of the outcast, the ugly, the average, and it offers to make them beautiful.

In return they only need give it one thing: their face, which the fiend devours directly off of their head.. it's tiny, slitlike mouth erupting into a hellish thicket of hooked tongues that latch onto the skin and suck it off. The recipient is blissfully unaware at this point, having been lulled into a deep sleep by the hypnotic gyrations of the bulbous growths that serve as the fiend's eyes

When the recipient awakens they find that their visage has taken on a shining, beautiful new form, and indeed their body too has become slim, muscular, a paragon of the Olympian ideal.

Meanwhile the fiend digests the face of its victim, an imprint of which slowly begins to form on its engorged belly. When it is fully formed the fiend peels its new identity off and wears it that it may walk among men once more.

Eventually however, the 'veil' grows rotten, and the fiend casts it aside to seek another. At this moment the old pact was broken, and the former recipient of beauty unparalleled awakens to find their skin missing, their body bloated.... their life ruined forever

>>10653284

I had a scared

>>10653109
To be fair, it was a REALLY depressing place, if you weren't in paradise. Misty, cold, dark, wet, nothing to eat... IIRC.

>>10653181

What is this thing?

>>10653389
A robot.

>>10653284

>hypnotic gyrations of the bulbous growths that serve as the fiend's eyes

lol, hypno titties

>>10653194
I am unfamiliar with this character

This is probably the most thought-provoking thing I'll experience all week.

Pic related, my demonic form.

Has a behelit ever been statted out?

I would love to make a apostle in dnd or something.

>>10653451

>>10651200
My Apostle form. Fucking fear mah lazer eyes, whitey!

>>10653471
Seconding. I'd say that uses who accept a behilit get a massive Con, STR and DEX bonuses, and certain spell-like abilities (breath weapons? in exchange for becoming demonic sybtype and sacrificing a beloved person to hell.

Teddy Roosevelt had a behelit.

>>10653545

How deep did you have to dig for that one?

>>10653591

Has to have a requirement that necessitates its use though

USER MUST FAIL AT EVERYTHING FOR 6 CONSECUTIVE SESSIONS

>>10653622

Not far really... i regularly break it out for shock purposes

>>10653591
>in exchange for becoming demonic sybtype and sacrificing a beloved person to hell
The sort of player who would accept the Godhand's offer calls choices like that "Juicer problems."

Rockpocalypse

>>10653657

How about the cost is: 'have to exile another player from the entire campagin?'

Jack Chick would be proud

>>10653657
From RPGnet's wiki:
>Juicer Problem
>Any time a game gives PCs an option for significant power with drawbacks that would be horrific to a real person, but, since the PC is not a real person, the drawback is not compelling.
>Usage: "He's going to kill my character's wife if I don't give him back the superweapon? She's not a PC, it's not like I care. Man, this is just a Juicer Problem."
>The term is a reference to Juicers in Rifts whose awesome combat power was balanced by a significantly shortened lifespan. This would be horrific to any real person, but unlikely to faze any players since it's rare that enough time passes in-game for it to be an issue.

>>10653605

Rebuild version of course.

If all apostles chose their form it makes me wonder why so many of them were shaped like spiked cocks

>>10653725
I'm not sure they can, but this is just a hypothetical.

>>10653642
Maybe have some fluff-related tragedy or flaw kick in? This Behelit mechanic seems ripe for the point where thespians and min-maxers meet - you have to convincingly RP to win over the DM that , yes, your guy's life is shit, and still have to manage the costs. Maybe some mechanical costs, too - as much as I love being a min-maxer, unbalanced homebrew isn't fun.

Maybe you spend one half-hour undergoing the Apostle transformation (as befell Griffith in the manga - not exactly half an hour but bear with me). Moments of blind berserker rage, depending on character class? Any other bright ideas?

>>10653610
What was his Apostle form?

>>10653682

Did Juicers even really outperform cyborgs, crazies, or power armor pilots?

>>10653591

>>10653725
do you really need to ask

>>10653725
Given how much Mirua likes sexual violence as a plot device, this makes perfect sense.

I love Berserk but I dearly wish Miura would find ANOTHER way to write a character aside from threatening them with rape.

>>10653741
See >>10653682. I think it would be an astronomically bad idea to let players become Apostles, because the CE shitheads would jump at the opportunity and kill the rest of the party.

>>10653751

>>10653815

I'd say this guy works as an Apostle.

>>10653181
ooooohhh good pick.

what about this though?

Can I? Not just form but also powers?

>>10653988

What is it? It looks like it is made of poo

>>10654006
It's the Idea of Evil. Miura wrote a chapter featuring it during the Golden Age arc but scrapped it because it gave away too much of the plot too early.
>>10653988
Yeah, no. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

>>10653750
Yeah. I'd like to see someone experiment with designing this for a DnD campaign, but I'd have reservations about which playgroup to test it with. Perhaps as among a group for people who were actors or dramafags (like me) who'd be willing to work with characters as 'people' rather than 'sheet with numbers on it'.

Any ideas for a mechanical drawback to activating behelit? maybe a roll where one has to be stupid low on HP with permanent cost to COn if you fail? Or maybe you have to do a CHA check against the Godhand to prove your worthiness?

>>10653912
Handbanana as an Apostle? That works. Hell, that works for a lot of ATHF villains.

>>10654070
No, it really doesn't.

The most horrifying form of all.

>>10654301
Who is that man?

>>10654323

He is clearly labeled.

Something similar to this.

A few more mechadendrite-type things, and maybe a set of more wicked claws, and a bulkier frame in general, but pretty much this.

>>10651832
this too

>>10654376
Yes, I can see he's a niggo. What's his name?

What's a behelit?
