Fate/reclaimed dawn --- SIGN UPS AND INTEREST CHECKS

Huh... in case it's not clear, Achea there is really weak to begin with. The longer she survives, the stronger she gets.

... Beowulf's EAM is the same as Lancelot's, it does what it does. However, I lowered the rank from A+ to A since, while Beowulf is an ungodly badass who eats napalm and shits asses which he then kicks, his friends all sucked so we really have no other worthy warriors in his time period to compare him to besides two swamp beasts and a dragon, the latter of whom he piledrived into a chokehold when he was seventy years old.

So... still skilled under ME, but not the insane 'how did you just slice your way through Go B' stuff?

Not that he's going to be using a weapon half the time—RIP AND TEAR is too useful not to be default, and unlike my Beowulf he doesn't have any amount of distaste for such tactics.

Here, have another sign up.

• Name: Minotaur of the Maze

• Appearance:something like this

• Class:Beserker

• Master: up for grabs

• Personality: A being beyond the power of rational thought doesn't have much of a personality it can express; however- it is probably the most lonely individual you could ever come across. Locked up from birth in the most complex maze EVER MADE, all he ever did was serve as a purpose for getting rid of people the local king didn't like. Thus the beast has come to develop an extreme hatred towards the human race. To be fair, he was born from human. However loneliness does play a huge part in this- he both longs for company and hates humans for locking him up- I hope to balance out those two aspects.

• Parametres:
  • Strength:A
  • Endurance:B
  • Agility:B
  • Magical energy:E
  • Luck:E
  • Noble Phantasm:A

• Class Skills:
  • Mad Enhancement: A

• Personal skills:
  • Innocent monster:B
  • Monstrous strength:B

• Noble Phantasms:

• Cretan Labyrinth, Asterion's prison-Rank A Anti unit

A reality marble is created wherein the victim finds himself trapped inside the creten labyrinth- the most complex maze to ever exist. Here, the Minotaur will lie in ambush for the hapless servant and temporarily gains Presence concealment D rank. Apart from this, the bull holds no advantage apart from maybe dealing with a slightly lost servant. The reality marble is fueled more by the master than the servant therefore the reality marble does not have a long duration (5 posts?). Remember that the Minotaur can materialise anywhere when not engaged in combat and also that its rather dark, dank and foggy inside the maze.

• Monster of Crete- the fear that kills-Rank E+: anti unit

It a huge axe that represents the Minotaur's sinister reputation and the dread of him that falls on those thrown into the labyrinth. The Axe is black and shadowy- like Fate Zero Beserker (only this is an Axe and not a servant). I would like it so that people could not see the rank of this Noble Phantasm, if that means anything.

I realized I messed up with my initial Master and Servant profile, so I'm revamping things a bit to make the profile seem smoother before posting it.

MASTER

• Name: Francesca Moreau

• Faction: The Church

• Age: 28

• Gender: Female

• Description: A 5'9 woman with vaguely patrician features, strawberry-blonde hair, and grey-green eyes.

• Personality: A duty bound woman who currently sees exterminating vampires, demons, and heretics as a duty, in contrast to her younger self, who gleefully hunted down vampires out of a sense of vengeance. When it comes to interacting with other people, she's a lot more open and bubbly, but hasn't gotten involved with anyone since her lover died.

• Abilities: A decent swordswoman, having practiced since she was in her early teens as well as a fairly good marksman, due to her tenure in the army.

• Bio: Grew up in a loving household to decently wealthy parents, who owned several mansions around France, due to the fact that they were in charge of a well-to-do shipping company, but were also secretly 2nd generation magi affiliated with the Church. As she grew older and entered her teens, she started to display a growing interest in weaponry, whether melee or ranged. Her parents encouraged their daughter's martial interests, permitted her to go to a firing range and practice with a teacher who was reasonably competent before approaching her with an offer to join the Executors, which they were agents of. Having never heard of the Executors, she refused, wanting to do something else with her life when she graduated college.

She got through high school and college with minimal fuss and joined the army as soon as she got out of college, but she discovered she could use magic during high school, when she accidentally set a boy's shirt on fire when he propositioned her one too many times. Boot camp was a bit grueling for her, but she managed to make it through and got the rank of Private. She didn't see much fighting, but it was during her tenure with the French Army that she got her first taste of the supernatural.

During a routine base sweep before curfew, she noticed that there was a bloodstain in the mess hall that hadn't been there before. When she went to check it out, she was attacked by a vampire and tried to fend him off until a fellow soldier, who was her lover, heard her and came rushing into the mess hall, opening fire on the vampire with her sidearm and getting her head ripped off for her troubles, after which the vampire fled into the night with Francesca letting loose several fireballs at the fleeing vampire, who managed to escape before collapsing to her knees and letting out a shriek of despair and anger.

Several days later, after she finally managed to get over her shock, she decided to quit the army and devote her life to hunting down vampires, which she quickly discovered moved faster than she could shoot, forcing her to set up traps before she led the vampire into them and finished it off. She ran across an agent of the Church while on one of her vampire hunts, who decided to induct her into the Executors after the vampire she was hunting was killed, partially due to her experience in killing vampires, but mostly due to the fact that her parents had been Executors.

After arriving at the main bastion of the Church, she became excited by all the lore on vampires that the Church had in their library and took several volumes for herself to study. As part of her initiation into the Executors, she had to participate in several missions alongside a more senior Executor. Only after passing her trials, was she given the rank of an Executor and the benefits that came with the rank, which included being able to use Black Keys.

Several months later, during downtime between Executor missions, she stumbled on a grimoire in the library that told her of a ritual to summon a legendary hero of myth. Excited by the possibilities, she started preparing the materials required for the summoning ritual and she managed to pull the ritual off successfully, but ran into one problem when she finished the summoning ritual, mainly that Arjuna was a girl and looked nothing like the stories she'd read in order to get a feel for what Arjuna was like. When she confronted Arjuna about this, the archer laughed and said that Vyasa believed that a woman couldn't do all of those things and said that she was a blue-skinned man in his retelling of the events, but said that she was the daughter of a god, since those kinds of things happened a lot during the time period that she lived in.

After she got used to Arjuna, the Church, who had been watching her bond with her servant secretly, told her that she was going to Akahele, Hawaii to participate in the latest Grail War in a few days and that she should gain some knowledge of what the Grail War was before participating in it. She spent the next few days before her flight to Hawaii reading up on the history of the Grail War, before flying to Hawaii to participate in the War, thinking up a wish for herself if she were to win, which would be to become a more efficient Executor.

@Taco and Thread: ... He got me back on. I'll come up with a Master.

Pulling because eh.

edited 26th Sep '13 1:44:13 PM by Azure

Magic Resistance isn't a class skill for Caster; it would go under Personal Skills.

Cthulhu eats 1d4 Masters per turn.

There are also no such things as Cthugas. You may be confused with Cthugha, who is actually an invention of that glorified fanfic author Derleth, and a god—which Alhazred obviously can't summon. Or do you mean the Flame Creatures of Cthugha? I don't think I've ever read something like your description of a Cthuga.

Um.

Guys, how about we don't give Ragna even more work? Though it's unfortunate, there's place for only one Servant while we still have at least four participants.

I'm willing to pass on the occasion, though that would be shameful.

As it stands, I'm gonna hold off and polish my character concept. When someone's posting drops off or disappears, I'll swing by.

@Taco: Worry not, this guy ain't going anywhere.

There was only room for one more servant, but I think there's still room for masters.

I'll try to get it up in a day, at least.

True dat. Perhaps I can cook up some Master...

EDIT: Alright, let's do it.

• Name: Valentine De Vox
• Age: 18(looks much younger)
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Everybody carries a cross on their backs. They just aren't aware of it."
• Personality: Valentine is a very calm and kind soul, accepting all of her hardships - which are hand stigmata and albinism - as they were nothing but scratches. No matter the condition she's in or the circumstances she got caught into, she will always press on, as long as she breathes. Albeit frail and sickly, her determination could put many a seasoned magus to shame. That being said, she doesn't tolerate evil and will long to destroy it if applicable. An easy way to make her snap is to betray her or to only pretend to be a good person and then make a mistake of doing some evil act in her presence. God willing, the offender will not leave alive.
• Abilities:
  • Elemental Affinity: Holy - Valentine represents almost utmost devotion to the dude high up in the air and is a firm believer. This shows in her choice of magics that are specifically meant to clear the darkness, protect the righteous and - if push comes to shove - obliterate evildoers. Technically it means utilizing varieties of Hard Light, healing magic, a few barriers and a number of sight modifiers.
  • Mystic Code: Sainte-Croix - A small(relatively speaking) replica of the original Holy Cross on which Jesus was crucified, this artifact serves first and foremost as an amplifier of healing magic. As long as Valentine is in physical contact with her Mystic Code(a thick enough layer of clothing would be able to sever the connection, so Valentine - much to her discomfort - must wear relatively thin clothes in order to have any actual combat-use for her MC), it nulls the pain of stigmata to a degree of being easily operable(rather than operable with certain difficulty) and fastens overall physical regeneration. If Valentine were to be, i.e: hit with a bullet, the pain would be momentary and dispel soon(though getting rid of the wound would take some more time). When deployed on the ground, it projects a forcefield capable of resisting most offensive magic as well as ordinary physical attacks short of a .50 MAG round. It can also resist against Servants' ordinary blows, though not for long. Valentine can use both effects at once, but this puts a great strain on her prana supply and cannot be used very long.
  • Colère de Dieu - Valentine's most powerful and exhausting spell, used only in times of great wrath(which, thank God, don't happen too often). Opening up arms, looking up in the sky and quoting The Book of the Law, II:57 - He that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is filthy shall be filthy still(can be quoted in English, French or Hebrew). Upon that, the target of said spell gets struck with what basically is a spear made of Hard Light(assuming they were standing still like a doofus). That hurts, of course, though high enough Magic Resistance(B+ and up) would be able to negate the effect it has.
• Bio: Putting simply? It sucks to be Valentine De Vox. From the very beginning of her life her parents prepared her to be the one who will obtain Holy Grail for De Vox family and will grant them glory, prestige and whatnot in eyes of Mage's Association. Raised by a despotic, callous father(her mother died when she was young), she strove to achieve greatness and power she was told about. Then, however, came the stigmata and long months of recovery. Seeing her now as only a waste he invested so much into, her father threw her away to be taken to orphanage in order to focus on his second child. Valentine was throughly bullied by other children due to both her albinism and stigmata. Do you know how fun it is to stick fingers into an open wound and see how it hurts the wounded? Her torturers sure knew.

• That, however, changed, on a day of her 12th birthday. That was the day when she was pulled off the orphanage by a peculiar man living on his own in a small town of Allevard. Said man happened to be an independent magus living by himself and practicing healing magic and concocting various means of recovering from wounds and such. One could say it was a pure accident he and Valentine ever met. Next six years of her life were probably the best she had ever experienced. The man who she viewed as her "real" father was a kind, understanding and easy-going person that also helped her train her magical potential to hone it and polish in a ways her biological father would never think about. That is also where Valentine found God, as the hermit mage was a firm believer and instilled it in her. A desire to help others, a desire to press on no matter how hard the situation is... she always knew why her father desired Grail, but now she knew what she wanted from this holy vessel. She wanted to make things right... and if she had an omnipotent artifact such as the Grail, she would be able to.

• The hermit mage was prepared for that. On Valentine's 18th birthday, as a parting gift he granted her Mystic Code - the exact replica of Holy Cross, for her judgment to use. Now fully ready to travel to her designation point - Akahele - Valentine De Vox sets out to achieve the greatness De Voxes always strove for... but in a completely different way.
• Assets:
  • A modest amount of cash given to her by the hermit mage
  • A first aid kit to treat smaller wounds with. Many bandages to cover up stigmata.
  • An apartment rent on top of Jack's Ripple. The other one.
  • Lots of fancy clothing, both thin and thick.

• @Achilles: A++ Agility and A Strength along with nigh Invulnerability? E Rank Endurance doesn't mean anything if your NP makes you invincible. Rejected.
• @Tadakatsu Honda: Take away the ability to cut N Ps and you're good.
• @Phaethon: Two A++ Noble Phantasms that can scorch the entire town in a single day along with having Riding at C Rank? The eligible requirement for becoming a Rider is A. Rejected.
• @Achea Revair: Mechanically she's fine so accepted. As long as you don't start with Blood slaves, you're good.
• @Minotaur of the Maze: I'd change the Reality Marble to some sort of Bounded Field type deal and it can't be activated unless the Minotaur is out of Mad Enhancement. In that case, it's accepted.
• @Valentine De Vox: Change Colère de Dieu from a immolating white light of death to something like a powerful holy spear blast. If you do that, accepted.

edited 30th Sep '13 8:32:23 PM by RagnatheSaviour

Highly doubted any Servant I want to play would get accepted, anyway, (Medusa and Medea are on the list, so...)

Anyway, is Achea paired with anyone yet? Anyone want to volunteer? And starting with no blood slaves is kind of the whole point.

• True Name: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus
• Class: Saber
• Height: 4'9
• Gender: Female
• Alightnment: Chaotic Good
• Appearance:"The True Flower of Rome!"◊
• Personality: Nero is a proud individual. She takes pride in her accomplishments and those of her master. Under her guise of self-confidence, she seems to be insecure. Nero only wants to be loved under the cover of the haughty attitude. She's extremely proud of her work in the arts and her quality as an artist.
• Stats:
  • Strength: D
  • Endurance: D
  • Agility: A
  • Magical Energy: B
  • Luck: A
  • Noble Phantasm (Rank): B
• Class Abilities:
  • Magic Resistance (C): Nero has the ability to negate the affects of low level magic, often consisting of two verses or less. Compared to others of the Saber Class, her Magic Resistance is certainly below average.
• Skills:
  • Imperial Privilege (EX): Any ability that would other wise be impossible to use can be used for a short time. These skills can relate to riding, weapon mastery, and military command.
  • Headache Sufferer (B): A curse inherited from the birthplace of one's previous life. Due suffering from chronic headaches, the success rate of mental Skills decreases considerably. Nero finds it hard to focus on her love of Fine Arts due to the skill.
• Noble Phantasm:
  • Austus Domus Aura: The Theater of the Deranged (Rank: B) is the Domus Aurea, the theater designed by Nero and constructed in Rome during her lifetime, given form and reproduced through prana with a method extremely similar to that used by Reality Marbles. Rather than being a materialization of her inner world, it is High-Thamaturgy that only Nero, who believes without a doubt that before her status as an emperor she is "an artist who rivals Apollo" and "a chariot driver that rivals Sol", can perform. It is an "absolute imperial zone" which allows the owner to achieve their aspirations.

When the theater was first opened for business, many of the spectators left midway through the performance, causing an outraged Nero to blockade all doorways once the second performance began and not let even one person leave until the curtains of the stage were down. As a result, escape - without Nero's permission or cessation of the Phantasm - is virtually impossible. The ability causes Saber's attacks to ignore the opponent's defense, and they are made progressively weaker over time.

Accepted.

Both are done and done. :)

@Nero: hoo, boy, Hannibal's gonna hate her.

My third character when I open the slots up. (Possibly) Nero's Master!

• Name: Holly Evenhardt
• Faction: n/a
• Age: 22
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines."◊
• Personality: Holly is an emotionally stable girl that has her life together. This stems from the fact that nothing was given to her as a child so she had to work for it. She had to work through school, through college and now her work as a writer. She preservers through everything the world throws at her no matter how tragic. She is a mature, quick-witted woman who looks on to tomorrow instead of dwelling on the past.
• Abilities:
  • Origin: Transition — The origin of one who adapts to the world from one stage of life to the next without difficulty.
  • Improvise: Holly's natural ability is to think of solutions to complex problems on the fly.
  • Simple Rituals: Holly only has knowledge of simple contracting rituals for familiars and enough knowledge to preform a Servant summoning.
  • Reinforcement
• Bio: Holly grew up as a girl with strict parents. With the Evenhardt family of magi completely nonexistant in the modern day, the only thing she could do was lead a normal life in normal society. She sailed through life with her own two hands and legs. Work, work and more work was no trouble for her. Classes and stress? No problems for someone like Holly. After graduating from college and her career as a writer almost set in stone, Holly left for Akahele, Hawaii's resort the Gardens of Akahele upon her parents request. They told her it had to do with restoring the honor and power of the Evenhardt family. Holly, although skeptical, agreed to go (hey, she got to enjoy an expensive resort!). She is sent with a box containing a red, bloodstained cloth for the Servant she was going to summon soon.

Nero's second Master is incoming soon.

• Name: Jamie Bond
• Age: 22
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: "Looks like it's gonna be another beautiful Hawaiian sunrise...
• Personality: A very laid-back and friendly young man who tries to never take anything too seriously. He prefers freedom and the open road, and is accepting of all lifestyles and cultures. As a priest, he believes the message of the Bible is more important than the interpretation, and practices a very liberal and unorthodox approach to the Christian religion by incorporating and reinterpreting other religions into his doctrine so as to spread the message of love and peace as far as possible. Jamie considers himself a pacifist, but will not hesitate to fight if it means protecting someone. He abhors killing however, and will not go to such lengths unless forced. He has a bit of a sarcastic streak, but is never mean about it. His favorite foods are the numerous tropical fruits found all over the island, which he usually eats with spam and sweet fruit dip.
• Bio: The orphan of a magus family with two suitable heirs to the crest, Jamie was given up for adoption in favor of his brother, who possessed a unique Sorcery Trait deemed more valuable than Jamie's above average quantity of magic circuits. He was taken in by an orphanage owned and run by a former Executor named Alyssa Blythe, and grew up knowing nothing of magic. Over time, Alyssa ended up becoming something of a mother figure for Jamie, and when the boy expressed interest in becoming a priest, Alyssa decided she would train him as an Executor, knowing that he would eventually run afoul of hard times pursuing such a profession. However, she never once told him why, or revealed anything about magecraft or the supernatural, leaving Jamie to simply assume his teacher had interpreted the Bible too literally. When he was entering elementary school, Jamie befriended a young magus girl named Holly Evenhardt, who ended up becoming a lifelong friend, even after they were separated by college. Jamie stayed behind, opting to follow his dream of becoming a traveling priest. He borrowed his teacher's motorbike and toured Hawaii, spreading the word of God in his own unique way. Now he's finally returned to his home town, only to find that his best friend has not only returned from college, but has apparently become infatuated with some rumor being passed around by highschool students. Something about a "Holy Grail War"...
• Abilities/Assets:
  • Executor training
  • Proficient with sacraments and baptism rites as well as Black Keys
  • Owns a motorcycle and the accompanying gear/license
  • Large number of magic circuits (above average)
