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

I can make another Master for Faust, if you want, Anno.

Thanks.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Alright, here she is. I'll be tweaking Yuna a bit to differentiate the characters.

Name: Hikaru Rensaki

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Here.◊

Personality: Very kind and warm, Hikaru always seems to know exactly what to say to someone to make them feel better. She is unfailingly kind and polite to those she meets, but dislikes people who refuse to acknowledge the truth of a matter, especially inconvenient facts about themselves.

Abilities and Property of Note: She isn't that good at fighting, but she's very good at creating a relaxing atmosphere, due to her Origin of Understanding: by talking for a few minutes with someone, she can ascertain much more about that person than would normally be gleaned from the conversation, and is a gentle enough talker that this tends to go unnoticed by most. Her Affinity is Water (along with ice), and she is skilled enough to use it fairly effectively; she always keeps a bottle or two on hand. She can freeze a bottle of water in eight seconds and manipulate the ice as she desires, and can draw some water vapor from the air as well.

Backstory: Hikaru isn't quite sure when she became the main beacon of support for her classmates—it just kind of happened. She'd always had a pretty normal life, save for the magecraft (she stumbled into a rather intricate spell one night, and the rest was history), and soon developed a knack for telling people what they needed—or wanted—to hear. She's become 'the one people go to for help' for so long she doesn't really have any friends, just people she helps.

Right, she works for Faust!

THIS IS JUST FOR SHOW. Don't judge me.

---

• True Name: Don Quixote of La Mancha
• Class: Lancer
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Don Quixote in his middle-aged glory◊
• Personality: Don Quixote, despite his delusions of heroism and chivalry, he is a kind man. He ALWAYS tries to do the RIGHT thing. By RIGHT, I obviously mean RIGHT by his own standards. He'll often pick fights with strangers because he thinks they're doing something wrong, however if that person is a woman or child, he's far more... lenient. Hell, he won't even fight women, thinking they're fair maidens to be protected. As a Servant, Don Quixote boasts about his strength and his acts of chivalry. So much to an extent that he narrates during battle about which weapon he 'sees' himself with which will probably throw others for a loop.
• Stats:
  • Noble Phantasm: C
  • Strength: C
  • Agility: C
  • Mana: D
  • Luck: E
  • Endurance: B
• Personal Skills:
  • Mental Pollution (Rank E~EX): Don Quixote, due to his own distorted mind and beliefs, cannot come to an understand with other individuals. However he can shut out any mental interference Thaumaturgy. Don Quixote's attachment to reality increases and decreases depending on situations. If it hits a low, it's believed that he'll drown in despair and his stats will all drop to E. And the vice versa, which is actually the stronger his delusions his become, the stronger his Noble Phantasm Paradera de Legendario becomes. It's actually possible to raise the rank of the Reality Marble up to EX. It is not reccomended that you force this to happen.
  • Nature of a Rebellious Spirit (Rank B): The temperament to never remain at one location and never embrace a lord. A wandering star that does not have the capacity to be king nor is capable of finding his own king. Negates the effects of Charisma with the same rank.
• Class Skills:
  • Battle Continuation (Rank A): Makes it possible to fight even with deadly injuries and can remain alive so long as one does not receive a decisive fatal wound.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • No Name, The Lance Without A Legend (Rank E): The Lance that Don Quixote is often depicted with. The only special qualities that this Noble Phantasm has is that you cannot break it. That's it.
  • Paradera de Legendario (Rank E~EX): A Reality Marble that crystalizes Don Quixote's own delusions about the world and of himself. It's a land where Don Quixote is the hero he's always saw himself as. His stats increase, he gains a faithful steed and his lance changes form into a weapon blessed by God himself. He becomes a knight in shining armor. This Noble Phantasm can, also, influence the outside world. Don is capable of grabbing normal, mundane equipment (Pencils, erasers, broom stick, etc.) and he's capable of transforming that object into a Rank E or D Noble Phantasm. It's form does not change to fit the ideal Noble Phantasm that Don commands it to become, instead it retains its form to trick the opponent. Don is the only one that can see it's true Noble Phantasm form.
  • The stronger Don Quixote's delusions become, the stronger his Reality Marble projects itself. It's possible to raise the Noble Phantasms rank up to EX once certain conditions are meant.

Bleh. Finally finished messing around with the silly formatting. Daedalus's and Talos's character sheets are done.

I'll finish editing Fion tomorrow. Probably.

edited 19th Jun '12 1:17:51 AM by Thrombin

I don't believe it makes sense for Talos to fly around...

The wings are a real part of the myth (although probably not the original script). Talos was said to circle three times a day around Crete to drive off pirates and invaders.

Oh, I am always interested in a F/SN roleplay. I noticed a disturbing lack of Lancers, so here is one that I wanted to play for a long time:

• Class: Lancer
• Master: Tristan Alyan
• True Name: Vlad III the Lord Impaler
• Gender: Male
• Height/ Weight: 1.95 cm, 80 kg
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral
• Appearance: To be honest I can kinda see why everyone thought he was a vampire...◊
• Personality: Vlad III is the lord impaler of the Principality of Wallachia. Motivated by a love of his nation and a duty to maintain its sovereignty and power, he purged all who would oppose its interests. Though there is an aura danger about him, he in fact possesses a modest and considerate personality; but his opinions and unrestrained manner of expression lend easily to the impression that he is a sociopath who has disengaged himself from the standard mores of society. He tries to ignore the reputation of the vampire modeled after him in a mature manner — but somehow, representations of him that he comes across will end up being destroyed.
• Stats:
  • Strength: B
  • Endurance: C
  • Agility: A
  • Magical Energy: C
  • Luck: E
  • Noble Phantasm: A
• Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects prana, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Important to note that the term "verse" seen below refers to a set of three lines. Thus, a chant of two verses is equivalent to a Six-Line incantation.
    • C: Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
• Personal Skills:
  • Demonic Defender of the State Capacity of the Servant to mark a region as his personal dominion by securing the surrounding leylines prior to an engagement, permitting reinforcement of his combat capabilities when fighting in defense. Kazikli Bey is a Noble Phantasm that may be deployed only within the marked domain.
    • A: When defending a personal dominion, the users attributes are increased by one rank, and the prana for Lancer is supplied from this dominion, freeing his Master from the drain of maintaining a Servant.
  • Battle Continuation is the strength of vitality for predicaments. Also, the ability to withdraw from combat and reach allied territory alive after being defeated.
    • B: The wounds received during battle does not diminish the combat performance of this Servant, and a decisive strike has to be inflicted to truly kill him. Things like a “death from sustained injuries” or “death from blood loss” are impossible to him.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Kazıklı Bei: The Lord of Execution
  • Rank: A
  • Type: Anti-Army
  • Range: 1 km
  • Max Targets: 20.000
  • A noble phantasm that looks like a pike in its sealed form, it is deployable only within the Servant's marked domain. Within a range of 1 kilometer, a maximum of 20 thousand identical-looking pikes can gradually manifest over time, bursting from the ground to impale opponents. Manifested pikes remain as a physical barrier that eliminates free ground, and evasion thus becomes less likely with passage of time. The sight of the pikes impose a curse-like psychological effect, destabilizing an opponent's mental condition with oppressive anxiety or fear. The speed of the manifestation of pikes can be controlled by Lancer by investing prana in them.
  • Legend of Dracula: The Succession of Blood
  • Rank: B
  • Type: Anti-Personal
  • Range: 1 person
  • Max Targets: 1 person
  • An ability gained through the distortion of the Servant's heroic legend. The Servant can alter his aspect to become the vampire modeled after him. In exchange for the sealing of his normal skills and Noble Phantasms, all attributes are boosted by one rank, and he obtains the capacity to shapeshift into mist and assorted animals. Being in nature similar to a Dead Apostle, he possesses the Curse of Restoration and the Mystic Eye of Enchantment, as well as weaknesses against daylight and holy symbols. Lancer LOATHES this Noble Phantasm and the distortion of his legacy it represents and will activate it only when forced to with a Command Spell.

Has a compulsive editing and re-editing disorder.

Ragna and I have decided that, while true to the legend, wings basically make Talos a bomber, which offers a little bit of an unfair advantage. Remove that, and you're fine.

Accepted.

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial

BOOM, GONE!

If there's still room, I'd be interested in joining. Due to what happened last time, though, I'd only join if someone's willing to be my character's Master. Anybody interested in commanding El Cid? (Or perhaps someone else?)

Life is like a game of Mahjong. Sometimes you need to take risks if you want to come out ahead.

Probably me! But I'll wait for others to say something.

I might have a Berserker to post.

I'll either get them posted soon, or in the morning, eh-heh.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

• Class: Rider
• Master: N/A
• True Name: Trung Sisters
• Gender: Female
• Height/ Weight:
  • Trac - 163cm and 57kg
  • Nhi - 133cm and 29kg
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Appearance: Trung Trac◊ and Trung Nhi◊
• Personality:
  • Trac: The more abrasive and hot headed of the two sisters. Trac is the one most likely to charge head long into battle, among the blood shed and chaos. She is the stronger and braver sister who prefers to be in the front lines of battle. Outside of the battlefield, while still very tomboyish compared to her younger sister, she still manages to come off with some femininity.
  • Nhi: Nhi is the calmer, more reserved of the two sisters. She would rather stay out of the heat of battle and make strategic plans in the background. She'd never join the fight unless it was in self defense, relying mostly on her sister to be her brawn. She's very shy around strangers, and will often hide behind her elder sister in their presence.
• Stats:
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: D
  • Agility: B+
  • Magical Energy: C
  • Luck: E
• Noble Phantasm (Rank): C+
• Class Abilities:
  • Riding: A
• Skills:
  • Bonds of Sisterhood: B - So strong was the bond between the Trung sisters, they together began a revolt against the Chinese, took control of Nam Viet, and ruled together until their untimely death in which they chose to commit suicide together rather than die at the hands of their oppressors. This skill alone makes it impossible to summon one sister without without the other. Together they are strong, able to maintain their stats at a constant, apart they get all their stats cut in half and are unable to summon their mount. They must be within 25 meters of each other or else they get the stat cut. And the must be within 5 meters of each other to summon their mount.
  • Charisma: B - The sisters were able to rally a rebellion against the Chinese and were declared queens of Nam Viet for 3 years before their demise.
  • Chaste Heroine: C+ - The Trung sisters had never considered looking at another person other than their husbands. Sexual behaviors were something that didn't dare enter their mind outside of wedlock. This would eventually be their downfall however, for the Chinese military entered into battle in the barest of clothing, showing off far more than the sisters and their warriors were used to. So shocked and appalled by their shamelessness were they that many fled the battle scene, leaving their weakened forces easily defeated. This skill while preventing anything but the highest of ranked mystic face from affecting them, also causes their stats to decrease by one full rank in the presence of a servant with very little clothing covering them, no matter the servant's gender. Two ranks if the servant comes into battle naked.
  • Vietnamese Martial Arts: B - Not quite masters of the art, but are quite capable of using their bodies at the level of an E ranked conceptual weapon.
  • Military Tatics: D - They were able to defeat and out maneuver the Chinese army with only a small number of women rebels.
• Non-Noble Phantasm Weapon:
  • Unnamed Sword: An unnamed weapon possessed by Trac, the eldest sister. It has no abilities or any bonuses, it only serves as a conceptual weapon of low rank.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Thi Sach: Anti-Army C+ - The great war elephant Trac named after her departed husband. It was the trusted mount of the Trung sisters who often rode into battle atop it's back. As a Noble Phantasm, it's power is even greater than that of a normal elephant, it's pure physical strength could easily be ranked at A+ in terms of servant strength. If severely injured, the elephant will activate a rampaging ability that causes it to charge and trample all in it's way whilst becoming impervious to further attacks. The rampage only lasts a few seconds before the elephant is forced to disappear from the battle field. If Rampage is not activated, then it will remain on the battle field for 5 minutes before disappearing.

Oh, hi. I've noticed that there were a few unpartnered Masters and Servants...So, I've decided to make another Master and another Servant!

MASTER

Now, For this Master, I have my eye on Vlad, but anyone can still partner with him

• Name: Tristan Alyan
• Age: 21
• Gender: Male
• Description:Minus the bandages.◊
• Personality: First and foremost Tristan is religious and full of piety. He's soft spoken and gentle. He loves helping others and is always honest. He wasn't always like this though, and his old hotblooded personality might surface during extreme cases.
• Abilities: Not much, really. He's a normal person. He does have some basic knowledge of martial arts, mainly boxing, but that's it.
• Bio: Tristan grew up in a rough part of the neighborhood. During his high school days, he was their school's boxing champ,not to mention local gang leader. This worried his religious parents, but he couldn't care less. He continued on his violent path until a local gang war severely injured him. He was taken care of in a hospital run by a local church, and that was when he found his calling. He found the Lord, turned his life around and went straight into a convent after high school graduation. He's now working hard in order to become a full-fledged priest.
• Assets: Nothing except the grace of the Lord.

SERVANT

I know we have so many Sabers already, but I've always wanted to play this dick.

• Class: Saber
• Master: Up for grabs.
• True Name: Sir Gawain
• Gender: Male
• Height/ Weight: 189 cm,79kg
• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Appearance: The Knight of the Sun◊
• Personality: Gawain has devoted his entire life to the code of knighthood. He will follow

chivalry and honor until the day he dies. Noble, honorable and loyal, Gawain would have been the perfect knight....if not for his flaws. Gawain is a brash individual, known for trash-talk and is prone to keep grudges. The most severe grudge of all being his absolute hatred of Sir Lancelot. Unlike his Fate/Extra incarnation this Gawain has not let go of said grudge and continues to hate the Knight of The Lake.

• Stats:
  • Strength: Varies
  • Endurance: B
  • Agility: B
  • Magical Energy: B
  • Luck: A
  • Noble Phantasm (Rank): A
• Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance: (B) Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for him to be affected.
  • Riding: (B) Most vehicles can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasm Races such as Demonic Beast and Holy Beast-rank creatures.
• Personal Skills
  • Numeral of the Saint: (EX) A special trait unique to Gawain. During the hours of 9 AM until noon, and the hours of 3 PM until sunset, Gawain's STR waxes and wanes from C to A+.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Galatine: Reborn Sword of Victory (Anti-Fortress,A): The Holy Sword of Sir Gawain, which takes it's power from the sun. The Noble Phantasn, once activated, acts like a weaker Excalibur, searing the enemy with the sun's flames. A note: While Arturia swings Excalibur vertically, Gawain swings Galatine horizontally.

Master of the Cliffhanger! Fire Emblem Elibe LP!

• Class: Archer
• Master: Florina Winester
• True Name: Tomoe Gozen
• Gender: Female
• Height/Weight: 159 cm/47 kg
• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Appearance: "There isn't any time to be foolish."
• Personality: Tomoe Gozen is, of course, intensely loyal to her Master without fault. She has a strong sense of honor, but is not above pragmatism in combat. While she remains refined at most times, she has an impatient streak and is somewhat quick to anger. She is also a very straightforward person and will not hesitate to speak up. If she has something to say, she will say it. She prides herself in skill in combat, with her bow, her swords, and any other weapons she has in her possession.
• Stats:
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: C
  • Agility: B
  • Magical Energy: D
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm: C
• Class Skills:
  • Independent Action: B
  • Magic Resistance: C
• Personal Skills:
  • Pioneer of the Stars: C
  • Military Tactics: B
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Senshi no Jisonshin~Onna Bugeisha: C
    • As Archer, the crystallization of Tomoe Gozen's skill with weaponry takes the form of a finely-crafted crimson bow half as tall as the warrior herself. Her katana are not a Noble Phantasm, though they are a grade of weapon capable of harming a Servant. If she were summoned as Saber, her Noble Phantasm would take the form of a katana while she would have a bow that is not a Noble Phantasm. The bow will always hit Archer's target as long as she calls out what she is aiming for.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Probably won't use this one for a while (I want to make sure I'm perfectly comfortable with the way I'm playing Jack before I drag anything else in), but just so I don't forget...

• Class: Rider
• Master: TBA
• True Name: Queen Boudica of the Iceni
• Gender: Female
• Height/ Weight: 175cm, 60kg
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Appearance: "For victory and preservation of liberty."
• Personality: Fearless and and single-mindedly determined, but serious minded and calculating. Whilst she can be loud and filled with bravado, she's actually rather intelligent. She has a noted hatred of tyranny, and those who would oppress others for their own gain; she especially hates the avaricious who prey on others solely to fill their pockets.
• Stats: (From E to A+, E being the worst, A+ being the highest)
  • Strength: B
  • Endurance: B
  • Agility: C
  • Magical Energy: D
  • Luck: D
  • Noble Phantasm (Rank): A
• Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance (D)
  • Riding (A)
• Personal Skills:
  • Bravery (A+)
  • Charisma (B)
  • Military Tactics (D)
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Andraste - Righteous Charge of the Victorious (A) (Anti-Army): A mighty chariot◊ named after the Icenic war goddess upon which Boudica rides into battle. By invoking the goddess in the name of victory, the chariot becomes wreathed in flames, setting all it crashes against alight. The flames represent not only her burning of Londinium, but the flames of her righteous fury towards the Roman Empire, who stole her freedom, defiled her daughters and tried to break her body.

... Uh... I'm sorry, but with that kind of boost I don't think it exactly matters if the battles are fought at night, not when you can just walk into an enemy Master's house, kill their Servant, and then kill them during the day. No-one will see then.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

One: This is canon, actually.

Two: Gawain is a Knight, he's not going to up and do that. It's dishonorable.

Master of the Cliffhanger! Fire Emblem Elibe LP!

I know it's canon, and it's still hideously broken. The only reason you can beat him in Fate/extra is because you cheat.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

I love that sequence.

...Hmm. Good point, that, but that skill is part of his legend.

And didn't Lancelot beat him anyway?
