Fate/Swords of Ruin - Sign-up Thread

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground

First of all, Servant signups are closed. Secondly, I get the feeling you don't actually know how F/sn works, considering that sheet has many issues not limited to: More than one class the wrong class skills, and skills doing the incorrect things. Finally, time reversal is a BIG no-no. It works in a plot written by one guy, but it basically means that you can reset the RP whenever you want, wiping out any progress the rest of us have made.

I'm not the GM, but those are just my thoughts.

& Also worth noting that even without the ability to reset the timeline, pre-Madokami Homura is horrifyingly broken in this kind of setting. The ability to freely stop time basically means that, even if she can't be too much of a threat to other Servants on account of her lack of offensive Noble Phantasms, she's going to slaughter any Master she comes across without any effort whatsoever.

Like Krika, not the GM- but if you want a Homura, might be best going for the one we saw at the end of the series with the wings and the bow, especially since I think that's the rough timeframe Ragna's pulling Mami from. Maybe even Homucifer if you want to infer about some of her abilities, since she might not be that horribly broken outside of her own universe.

Firstly, I did say that I was putting up a servant sign up knowing that servant sign ups are closed. My one is just there in case someone drops out and a space opens.

Not sure if this is a bad thing but that is kinda what I was hoping for: Homura as assassin class that targets masters only. On the issue of powers after Madokami- the problem is that after that, her powers become so damn vague- not like Mami who just pulls guns out of everything. She has a bow, sure, but we don't know anything other than that. Thus, my decision to do pre-Madokami Homu.

I do have several other servant ideas but seeing that there really is no space for them, I'll leave off till later. On the subject of a Master, I'm still working on that.

Note, I'll pull the time reversal one. I knew it wouldn't work but I was hoping that maybe somehow it might. Eh, doesn't matter really.

Anything time-related likely is too OP for most RP's. Unfortunately, Homura doesn't have much more beyond that. She has her arsenal, true, but otherwise she fails short on almost every other account. As such, I'm gonna have to reject her altogether for now until a new version of the sheet is provided.

@Hulk: Looking good. :)

Also, Discussion Thread is up!

acknowledged.

I'll have a new sheet up for someone else soon.

Oh look.

Master

• Name: Vladimir Namir. Nicknamed “Weasel”.
• Age: 37.
• Gender: Male.
• Servant: Artanis.
• Appearance: What do you mean, Shout Outs?
• Personality: Avi is about as pleasant as a block of ice. He talks as much, too, and spends his off-time training, caring for his potted plants, and training some more. People would think that someone like that hides a soft side or some tragedy, but in Avi's case, he was a cold person even as a child. Of course, it meant he had close to zero friends, not that it mattered to him. He's also pretty driven — once he accepts a contract he will complete it no matter what. He also takes promises very seriously, whether his own or others'.
• Abilities: Avi is not a Magus. He is, however, very skilled in taking down Magi — similarly to Natalia Kaminski, he goes after Magi with Sealing Designations.
  • Skilled assassin — firearms, escape routes, confounding the police, etc.
  • Magus Hunter — basic knowledge of Thaumaturgy — just to figure what's used against him and some counters.
  • Functioning human being — can walk and talk at the same time! Knows how to drive and curse, too!
• Equipment/assets:
  • A moderate amount of money stashed in offshore accounts.
  • A small flat in the so-so parts of Handayashi.
  • Various weapons and the like.
  • Connections in the Handayashi police department. He knows a corrupt cop or two, and has a work relationship with the local Yakuza branch, too.
• Bio: Born to a poor Russian family in Israel, Vladimir had to work had for what he wanted — even the smallest things such as candy or extra pencils. He was also colder than the tundras of his ancestral Motherland. He seemed to find his calling in the IDF — he volunteered to the paratroopers division — but he left the army after his mandatory four years of service (he became a junior officer before deciding to quit). Instead, he started a life as a mercenary, first for the Israeli-Russian Mafiya, and afterwards for whoever paid his fees. A few years afterwards he agreed — by mistake — to capture a Magus with a Sealing Designation (he may or may not have been inebriated). Needless to say, the Magus Curb Stomped him. So after he got well he tried again. And again, only succeeding at the third time. Afterwards, he started taking the Association's contracts as well. His latest led him to Handayashi. Unfortunately, the target had this weird circle drawn on the floor of his apartment...

Stanneh, if possible, I'd like to pair Vladimir with Artanis, assuming he's accepted.

Look, a Master. Have at her.

• Name: Sakura Handayashi (Western Order)
• Age: Nineteen
• Gender: Female
• Servant: Dilly dally, shilly shally.
• Appearance: If only I could sleep for a whole day...◊
• Personality: Sakura is odd. Flighty, always dissonantly serene, always going off on absurd tangents, seemingly always sleepy. Her attention span is absolutely tiny. Childish, innocent and seemingly lacking in common sense, she doesn't seem like a mage. But she's also nonchalantly amoral, the same innocence applying to her conscience as well. She's never been around people much, so she's never learned about social graces...or empathy for that matter. Although, she's really curious about these things called "friends"...
• Abilities: As heiress to an old Magus Family who's recently inheritted the Magic Crest, Sakura is a formidable mage. In fact, she's something of a prodigy.
  • Handayashi Magecraft: Bloom - The magecraft of her family involves the use of plants. Controlling them, weaponizing them, creating all new ones, she could do this and then some. She can create cages of thorns, strike with roots and branches, make a Bounded Field where plants overgrow. Her specialty is known are the plants she calls "Blood Roses". These magically-created plants suck out the life of anyone caught in their thorns and branches. Additionally, their seeds cand be placed inside a victim's body...with fatal results to the poor sap when they bloom.
  • Handayashi Magecraft: Brew- Sakura can also make potent brews made from her plants. Poisons, potions, and assorted elixirs.
  • Bounded Field: Red Rose Garden- Sakura's territory, wrapped around the family mansion. A veritable magus fortress of her creation, designed to make those who enter lost...and easy prey for the heiress of Handayashi.
  • Equipment and Assets:
  • Her assets include her family mansion, an assortment of butlers, maids and bodyguards, as well as the money and resources left to her as heiress.
  • Mystic Code: Rose Scepter. An oak staff topped with a gem carved to look like a rose. Greatly increases the potency of the family magecraft.
• Bio: The Handayashi family, as the name suggests are both the founders of the town and the mage-stewards of the land. Sakura is the latest in the long line of these proud magi. An only child whose parents died when she was but a little, Sakura was raised by her grandfather, a stern and severe old man who trained her in the art of magecraft and not much else. The Handayashi are old, but not famous among the Association. Something Grandfather was rather bitter about. As such, when the Heaven's Feel ritual came to their own lands, Grandfather seized this chance. He sent Sakura, as is her right as heiress to the Handayashi, to claim the Grail for their own...

Nothing is what it seems. Master of Shipping and Sadism.

She's good to go. Welcome aboard. :)
