@Shadow DaedalusHe looks fine to me. Unless someone else thinks otherwise I'll accept him.

@vancexentan Ok, awesome. I though he was a little risky.

To me he basically is a less fucked version of Emiya from Fate/Zero.

@vancexentan That's basically what I was going for. I changed a few things around, like no Origin Rounds. (as cool as they are, they're unique to Kiritsugu)

I haven't read the whole profile yet, but just off the top of my head, I'd have to say "Anti-Magecraft" doesn't really seem like a valid Origin. Remember, Kiritsugu's was "Cutting and Tying" xD

Maybe something like "Refutation" or something that means the opposite of mystery?

Oooh, what about "Iconoclast"? Someone who attacks or destroys sacred or religious beliefs (like the tradition/mystery of magic)

@Turboshitter@vancexentan I wasn't exactly sure what to put there, considering that an Origin is basically 'an instinct that drives them'. His instinct was revenge against magecraft, so I couldn't think of anything

Iconoclast works well, I like it

@Phase Transit@Shadow DaedalusUnless you disagree with Shadow's sheet it looks like you have a master for Lancer. How's the master for Archer coming along? I suppose you and shadow can post in the IC as lancer, and James if you two desire but not everyone is ready yet.

I would suggest a collab post using titan pad or something but it's all up to you two. A collab would allow you two to get to where you want to be quicker. No one has to go to the priests' summons you can ignore it.

I think I'll pass if it's okay with Grey and whoever ends up being Assassin's Master. If Fate/stay night and Sunday school have taught me anything, it's that you should never trust a Catholic priest ;P

More than fair enough I suppose lol. Also I've been hoping we'd be able to get a new rider quickly.

Okay, after reading James' full profile, I have a few other things I'd like to say. First is that Void, Fire and Earth are elements, not schools of magecraft. Considering James' background, he likely falls into a similar category to Shirou, where they don't have a specific school they ascribe to because "the only real magic allowed to them" is the unique one they were born with (UBW in Shirou's case). Second is that Void is kind of the hallmark of Shikis Tohno and Ryougi, who both possess the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception (a.k.a HAAAAAAAAAAAX). I don't think we want anyone who has anything to do with the Root, Akasha, or the MEoDP in a Grail War RP (though I don't think you meant that when you said "Void"). Third, this ability of his sounds a lot like Imaginary Numbers, which was also pretty hax when Sakura was showing it off during Heaven's Feel. Again though, I doubt that's what you intended.

I hope this doesn't seem like I'm picking on you or anything. I do like the idea, I just think it needs some ironing out. To be clear, nothing with the power set is inherently bad/contradicting canon (he's kinda like Kiritsugu with Imagine Breaker lol), and I'm normally much more lax about canon and stuff than this. I'm just trying to help iron out details so it doesn't cause any problems or confusion later down the line :)

Of course I've probably overstepped my boundaries a bit already. This is all vance's call. Ball's in his court. I just thought I'd mention a few things that stood out to me (minor fixes hopefully, because again I do think the character is interesting and have tried my hand at playing a similar type of magus before).

Imaginary numbers used by a magus not boosted by infinite magical energy like the grail isn't very useful. Sakura could only intuitively use it to create monsters, but without the grail's support the monsters are like the size of her hand. Also elements are fluid things and aren't strictly defined into the traditional five. There are some cultures that use the 12 zodiacs as 12 separate elements. Eastern magi use different elements than do Western magi use, and so on. It's possible that this void element isn't the same thing as tapping into the root.

True. I just wanted to be sure we were all on the same page. Like I said, having a unique Origin or type of magecraft derived from that Origin that focuses on anti-magic is nothing that particularly stands out as "going against canon".
