I think I'll withdraw. I find, sitting down to do it that I'm not really "in the mood" for lack of a better phrase, to write a servant. There's plenty of fine people here, I'm sure you'll do well. Good luck and have fun everybody.

Name: Josephine Lam
Gender: Female
Age: Looks like high school student, so must be high school student.
Appearance: Josephine is heterochromatic, one eye red and another yellow, because she's cool like that. Like most Chinese girls, she's on the small side of things, being all 5'4 and all. Thankfully, most of that 5'4 is made out of muscle, strategically hidden under her mentor's old, white, oversized coat. Because she's totally a high school student, she also wears a sailor uniform.

Personality: Picture in your head a female, Chinese Kiritsugu, who doesn’t have any sort of heroic ideal. There you go, that’s pretty much what Josephine is.

Now, to go into a little more detail.

Josephine is a product of Chinese society, a disciplined, respectful, hard-working individual with a competitive streak that makes her go past her limits constantly in order to bring honor to the glorious communist government. She nurses a superiority complex over all those weak-willed, spineless filthy foreigners, and is an advocate of the idea that people can only be strong after succeeding under extraordinary amounts of pressure. As such, there is no ‘pinch’ that can wrack Josephine’s nerves, no fear that can cripple her body, and no pain that could paralyze her mind. Stalwart and determined, this young girl could be likened to that of an ubermensch.

Of course, despite her drive and her ambitions and her beliefs, Josephine bundles that underneath an exterior mask that’s much more natural than the human-shaped Terminator that her associates are used to. With a passion for jazz and an attraction to badminton players, she passes off as a studious individual, a library club member who stays quiet unless someone brings up a topic that she’s interested in, in which her motormouth would just go on and on and on.

Then again, her ‘kyaaa, hentai~’ reaction consists of a swift kick to the balls followed by a judo throw onto the tiles, so maybe that illusion of normalcy would be broken faster than expected.

History: What do you think up when you think China? Bootleg? Manufacturing?

Nope, what you should be thinking of is organ-harvesting!

The Lam family, in particular, is famous for their existence as a ‘middleman’ in the Magic Circuit implanting business. Shitty magi want to get some money and wash their hands of this whole business? While, the Lam family would find an interested magus from a rich family, take advantage of their Sorcery trait to turn low quality Circuits into average quality ones, and then ship it off to that rich bastard! From El-Melloi to Tohsaka to whomever else wants dem delicious extra Circuits, this Chinese family became quite rich and influential without ever actually having made any advancements to magecraft.

Thus, it was quite an oddity when the young Josephine, raised up in a private school and much more patriotic than her forebearers, declared that she wanted to be a real magus and promptly apprenticed herself underneath some communist party supporting magus. While ignoring her parents’ incessant phone calls, bidding her to think about the ‘real world’ and get a successful ‘career’ using her body as a factory for decent Magic Circuits, Josephine went through a whole lot of physical and magical training. A strong body housed a strong mind, and, because Chinese magecraft was really rather backwards at the time, her master actually thought that Magic Circuits were part of one’s body, so a strong body would mean strong circuits.

It wasn’t the case, of course, but punching things was fun, as was making things blow up.

And hey, she was Chinese! It was literally blasphemy if she didn’t learn kung fu and tai chi.

As years passed by, Josephine aged remarkably well, until her mentor promptly contracted and died of lung cancer from glorious Chinese smog and pollution. In the poor man’s will, Josephine learned of the Holy Grail and the War, as well as the prototype designs for a Mystic Code. As thanks for his years of brainwashing and mentoring, the young girl took his Magic Circuits and implanted them into herself, so that he would always be with her.

After that, she took a plane trip to Japan, hitchhiked to Fuyuki, vomited a few times over the disgusting pleb-ness of the inferior sub-Chinese, got herself a job that didn’t involve selling her body, and then started praying to her ancestors that she’d be selected as a Master for the next War.

Yup.

Elemental Affinity: Fire of Communism
Circuit Quantity: 25, all of them implanted.
Circuit Quality: Interestingly enough, while Josephine’s Circuits are only capable of generating 13 magical units at full power, capping at 325 magical units, she is capable of outputting triple that amount. What does that mean? Josephine, if there is an exterior source feeding her, can literally go balls to the wall and shit out prana way above her perceived limits, with no risk of burn-out.

Sorcery Trait: All-Type
The Lam family magus are born without any Magic Circuits, but, in exchange, possess the ‘useful’ ability to take in any Magic Circuit without risk of failure or instability, while converting all Magic Circuits that are implanted to the level of ‘average’. Low-quality Circuits, thus, can be converted into average-quality Circuits in Josephine’s body after a few years of assimilation, and it is through this method of give-and-take that she has become a rather decent magus.

Magecraft:
Reinforcement – Reinforcement be reinforcement. She’s especially good at buffing up her own body with that, allowing her to be sorta like a superhero.

Energy Transfer – Transferring prana from herself to other things, or the other way around. Pretty simple stuff. Not much to think about, really.

Energy Conversion – Converting prana into heat or light or whatever else. Can also do it the other way around, in which other forms of energy are changed back into prana, but it’s a pretty complicated, annoying process.

Fire Spells – FIYAAAA! FIYAAAAA!! FIYAAAAA!!! Josephine’s a bigger fan of causing things to explode by overloading them with prana-heat instead of actually making flames though. Naturally, she also has a whole bunch of fire resistance spells.

Mystic Codes/Equipment:
Fire Sword - Lamest name in the world, but ask Josephine if she cares. She probably won't, and she'll punch you in the face for making fun of her mentor's memento. The Fire Sword is a Mystic Code consisting of six throwing knives and one dagger. The throwing knives have the ability to sap heat energy at a rapid pace, before transmitting all that heat into the dagger, which has the ability to then transmit all that heat into the shape of a long blade. Essentially, a lightsaber without the wub-wub effects.

After all, no wu shu is complete without sword skillz.

Magical Shovel WJQ-308 - A Mystic Code in the shape of a military shovel and totally not the other way around, Josephine likes to carry this cutie in her backpack or whatever, as it helps with magical amplification and all that cool stuff. Sorta odd that a tool generally associated with the earth would cause fiery explosions but screw common sense. Shovels are besto.

Non-Magecraft Related Skills: Cooking, Jobbing, Masturbating, Patrioting, Punching, Kicking, Knifing, Throw-Knifing, Object-Exploding, Mathing, Chattering, Stone-walling, Shovelling

Other:
Communism is good, communism is great.
Jazz music is cool, and she only wishes that she had enough spare time to learn it.
Josephine used to think that handguns were hot shit, until some faggot weeb Magus Killer ruined them for her.
Interestingly enough, she's still fine with Japanese music though. But only because Chris is besto.
Of course, her theme is Hero Story.

Possibly interested; if Lionheart is dropping, does that mean Archer is available, or-?

WIP

Now we just need three unstable weirdo girls, one protagonist male, and then we can recreate ‘I thought this was Harem Heaven, but it was Yandere Hell’!

All according to plan~

How are you going to handle PvP? Because 99% of all Fate RPs die either because of PvP shenanigans or classic inactivity/lack of plot.

By crushing the competition with superior research.

Er, rather, I haven't thought up a personal strategy yet.

This is actually a good question. I've seen PvP be terribly problematic on Guild before, and I've seen it go along just fine. Obviously we all hope for the latter, but I am curious if the GMs have any thoughts on the matter.

I'm making a male Master, probably between the ages of 15 and 20. Does that count? :P

Yandere is love, yandere is life.

If my character's weapon is not named in legend, do I make one up or just leave it without a name?

The first thing you should consider if their weapon isn't named, is if it's even worthy of being a Noble Phantasm in the first place.

Oh, you can just make up a name if it is. I expect it to be well thought out, though, no "Raging Shadow Darkblade".

Oh, sorry if I didn't explain that well! I wasn't trying to imply that it was a noble phantasm. Thank you, though. I just thought it better to clarify.

If it's not a Noble Phantasm, like, if it's just a generic weapon that they use, it doesn't need a name.

@Ashifili Love your character so far, looking forward to the finished product~

RESERVING! PLEASE LET ME IN ON THIS!

Rough WIP:



Do the players of the servants or the masters pick the catalyst?

Dat feel when Amazon, but looks so Chinese. XD

Every other picture is either platinum blonde or really "fanservicey", tho. D:

This is not something I've fully decided on, but for the time being, PvP will be handled in the usual fashion.

@SevenStormStyle Hi~! That sure is a cute girl you have there. I do have some concerns about it, as the GM, so I just have a few questions to ask. I've PMed you about it.

If you're handling PvP in the usual fashion without any system in place, then it is doomed for failure.
