Fate oath/alternative (Festival of Epics Reboot) Sign Ups

Okay, I'll probably have him up later today, I'm going to be at a humane society event today, looking at puppies.

So, is the cocky bastard who Diarmuid accidentally NTR'd okay?

So...what about dat Odysseus? Approved? Denied?

Okay, here's Poe.

• Class: Caster
• Master: -If applicable-
• True Name: Edgar Allan Poe
• Gender: M
• Height/ Weight: Short/Average
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral
• Appearance: Mm, yes, a photo-graph...◊
• Personality: Caster is a fairly nihilistic gentleman, obsessed with the betrayals and insanity of mankind. He is not mad, mind you, as he would remind you, but he is kind of creepy. If given the opportunity he will go on at length about his beautiful Virginia Clem, as well as how terrible a lot of modern art is.
• Stats:
  • Strength: E
  • Endurance: E
  • Agility: C
  • Magical Energy: A
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm (Rank): A
• Class Skills:
  • Item Creation (A++): Poe is unique from other Casters in that his magic items are the extent of his Magecraft. However, this also means that his Items are much more potent. All of Poe's items are some form of written word, be it a short story, wall scrawling, or poem, whose reading provides various buffs and debuffs, including providing Mad Enhancement, commanding Muggles, or exploding violently.
  • Territory Creation (B): Standard for Workshop creation, except that Poe's works by exerting his will on a 'host building,' transforming it into a dark and gothic version of itself. Shadows become deeper, hallways seem longer, and his Noble Phantasm reaches full power. His items become significantly more powerful if their subject matter includes inspiration from the Workshop.
• Personal Skills:
  • Gloom (B): Poe's noted melancholy works similarly to Bravery, cancelling out any form of mental interference.
  • Sculptor of the English Language (C): Capable of leveraging a Charisma score of C through his writing; this has the side-effect of basically having "fire and forget" commands, leaving scrawlings on walls or posters that could later motivate ordinary people to action to, say, form a mob. Spoken word is unaffected, and anyone in possession of a Magic Circuit is immune.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • House of Usher (A): Similarly to how Ionioi Hetairoi is an actualization of Iskander's dreams as a great leader, Caster's Noble Phantasm is an actualization of all that he has written, and of the genre that he went on to inspire. This Bounded Field Noble Phantasm turns any one building, either one of advanced decay or darkness or one affected by Poe's Territory Creation, and creates a true nightmare of a building. Where before hallways just seemed longer, now geometry is actively malicious. All attempts to leave the Noble Phantasm once entering are ineffective; any exits simply open out into more sections of the building. Windows merely appear as opening out into a black void until broken, at which point further sections of the building unfold before them. Additionally, Caster gains the ability to manipulate the makeup of the building as he sees fit. This is limited to line-of-sight when outside his Workshop, but within his Workshop you're in his world now, motherfucker! He can manipulate the building as if it is his own body, projecting walls and forming new traps as he sees fit.
  • Deceptive Imbuement (D): Based on his poems The Black Cat and The Raven, Poe can expend some Mana to imbue an ordinary animal—typically cats and birds—with a false signature of intense malice. Clairvoyance, Discernment of the Poor, and any other detection-based Skills or Thaumaturgy register the imbued animal as a profoundly wrong and evil being, so horrific that it simply must die. There is no actual mental control here, it is simply an illusion that creates evil-based false positives. The Noble Phantasm is dispelled once the animal dies.

@Odysseus: Accepted.

@Poe: Accepted unless Ragna says otherwise.

How about Galahad, Toshi and Jon?

And Fionn too!

Toshi, Jon, and Fionn are good. Galahad's a no-no because he interferes with canon.

-Sees Hijikata- Oh my gosh, Death....I didn't think you'd be that addicted to the otome game I showed you~! Here's a Master for Toshi-san~!

• Name: Yukimura Chizuru (Eastern Order)
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Description: Eh, I'm late...
• Personality: Chizuru is a normal girl, really. She's cheerful, friendly and since she's a doctor's daughter, she likes helping people who are hurt. She looks up to her dad greatly but has a strained relationship with her mother and brother, who left them. She's also...not so bright and prone to klutzy behavior now and then. Hence her nickname "Hakuchi"(idiot). She's a pacifist.
• Abilities: Unbeknownst to Chizuru, her bloodline from her father's side is a bloodline of half-breeds, like the Tohno. In fact, she's descended from the same doctor who invented the Ochimizu that creates Furies. Chizuru heals at an incredible rate, and in times of great danger and stress she might shift into her silver-haired, super-strong demonic form. Not like she can fight, though. also has the uncanny ability to screw up most things she does...
• Bio: Chizuru is the daughter of a Japanese doctor who lives in Archwood City. She's just like any teen, going to school, helping her dad...That changed when men claiming to be from "The Burial Agency" barged into her home one night, claimed that her family were demons and killed her dad. As she was running from them, she accidentally summoned a certain samurai...
• Assets: Just her dad's small clinic in town....

Awwwwww snap, Church time! I'm really excited if that profile gets through. There's only a small problem, which is something I was confused about for a long while as well: Executors = Church's heretic/demon hunters, Burial Agency = Elite Eight of the Executors, who they send to fight big threats like the Dead Apostle Ancestors. Basically, if those dudes were really Burial Agency, Chizuru would be dead meat. It makes a lot more sense for them to be just normal Executors, especially since I can't see the Church sending their top agents to take out a small family with the abilities you've outlined (super-regeneration and Inversion Impulse don't do shit against Black Keys, yo).

Chizuru is accepted, and Poe gets a definite okay.

After looking it over, Echidna's parentage is actually a little too... suspect for her to be actual Heroic Spirit material (judging by the fact that her parents were either two primordial sea gods or the literal Earth and Hell getting jiggy with it). So I've talked with Death and made a replacement Servant for Jon whose lineage is less suspect:

• Class: Caster
• Master: Jon Archwood
• True Name: Circe
• Gender: Female
• Alignment: Neutral Evil
• Appearance: "What do you mean I shouldn't turn men into pigs? What's that supposed to mean?!"
• Personality: Surprisingly hot-blooded for a mage. Circe has a reputation for being larger than life, and quite the ham, almost to Card-Carrying Villain levels of cheese. She's perhaps the only figure in Greek mythology who went by and large unmolested (not for lack of trying, however), and by and large takes shit from no one. She doesn't play by anyone's rules, and instead seems content to play an entirely different game altogether. Metaphorically speaking, the rules of engagement by which Circe plays are like discarding chess, shogi and go in favor for a bizarre combination of the three in which winning somehow involves a canister of lighter fluid. Has a notorious habit of treating men like passing entertainment who exist solely to please her fleeting whims.
• Stats:
  • Strength: D
  • Endurance: D
  • Agility: D
  • Mana: A+++
  • Luck: A
• Class Skills:
  • Territory Creation (A)
  • Item Creation (A+): Capable of producing a wide array of spectacular magical items, although her true strengths lie in herbal medicines. She is capable of brewing elixirs to stir false attraction, drug the mightiest of gods and warriors, and even temporarily revive the dead.
• Personal Skills:
  • Divinity (A): A demigoddess of magic in the Greek pantheon, well respected as the mightiest of earthly witches and the loveliest of all immortals.
  • High Speed Divine Words (A+): The power to activate Thaumaturgy without the use of Magic Circuits. The language of the Age of Gods, back when words played a heavy role in spellcasting. As such, it is power long lost by modern magi. At this rank, High-Thaumaturgy-level Magecraft can be cast at the speed of Single-Action spells.
  • Shapeshift (A+): Maintains a well-founded reputation for turning men into pigs.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  • Rule Breaker ~ complete (Anti-Unit, Support): The true form of the dagger Rule Breaker possessed by her niece Medea. Once, the dagger was actually only the tip of a staff, Circe's finest creation. A Bounded Field Noble Phantasm wrapped in the shape of a staff, one which embodies the nature of Circe's island home, on which many men were said to have met their fates. As long as Circe holds the staff, she gains the beneficial effects of the Bounded Field, which greatly increases the potency of her magecraft. In the Age of Gods, when the boundary between magecraft and Magic was at its thinnest, Circe's staff amplified her already impressive abilities, bridging the gap and allowing her to perform true miracles, feats not accomplishable in nature. However, the scope and range of what she can actually do with this is vague, and even she admits she has no idea what the boundaries of it are. However, the magecraft cast by Circe with this staff will always be far more complete and powerful than the same magecraft cast by someone else, and like with the dagger later descended from the complete model, simply making contact with the tip of the staff is enough to dispel magecraft, even contracts between Servants. It's truly the complete embodiment of a weapon which breaks all rules.

As planned, a Master for Odysseus. Also, the list in the OP needs to be updated.

• Name: Daniel Ibn-Ezra.
• Age: 29.
• Gender: female.
• Appearance: Well, don't just stand there, do something!
• Personality: while good at heart, Daniel has weird ways of showing it. She's certainly eccentric: she's talking to herself all of the time, is prone to make remakes seemly disconnected from the current situation, and is completely tactless. However, behind all of that madness there's a kind and merciful soul.
• Abilities:
  • Daniel's abilities as a mage are middling, but she developed her own style of magecraft, one that deals with plant manipulation. She has a weak affinity to water and earth, required for it, but her spells control plants and animate them.
  • She's fit for her age.
• Bio: Daniel is a mage from Israel. Shunned by her peers because of her (apparent) mild madness, she was a loner for all of her life. Fortunately for her, her grandfather willed her a large sum of money when she was little, so she had no economic problems. She heard of the Grail when conversing with a mage friend from overseas, and immediately began preparations. Why she wants the Grail no-one knows— her friend couldn't understand what she said when she announced she'd join the War.
• Assets:
  • A large sum of money.
  • Her magical research in a few encrypted hard-drives. She also keeps a copy written in code in a few notebooks.
  • A small potted plant she experiments on.
  • Change of clothes, laptop, etc, etc.

I wanna master for Fionn Mac Cumhail... Other than you Death, you've already got your hands full after all.

SIGN-UPS ARE CLOSED.

KSPAM and I will not be accepting anymore characters.

Uhm, can you please update the OP? Some characters are missing in the lists.

Getting to that now.

Not sure if it has been made official yet, but Nicolas Cleary and Rider Manfred von Richthofen have come to an accord.

Ah, alright then. I'll add them to the list.

Is it alright if I begin the summoning ritual in the meanwhile?

Yes.

Hmm...any plans for opening sign-ups, or at least limited sign-ups once the new day rolls out? There were several casualties after all.

edited 6th Oct '12 5:57:37 PM by Drakovicz

I say no.

hmmm......Thats unfortunate, my timing is rather off.

If Sign ups ever open ( And they don't have to) I'll try my hand at this RP.

Don't worry, there'll be a sequel once this one ends.
