@vancexentan@Loki Odinson May I control Brnyhilda for my next post? I might need her to allow Rider to go over and investigate the docks together and string together an attack
WE'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT'S BREAK FROM YOUR DAILY SCHEDULED BRAWL, AND ASSASSINATIONS TO BRING YOU FULL HOUSE 2. YOUR DAILY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING WILL BE BACK AFTER THESE MESSAGES.
@Shadow Daedalus@EklispeSince Indra went off and decided not to join or whatever happened I'm giving someone the spot of assassin to fill, Archer will be filled by turbo, and Shadow can transfer James and join with Eklipse for Cu. You two can decide if you want to do the summon immediately or after a night to day timeskip. I'm sure James should react to losing connection to his previous lancer in some way shape or form.
Figured I'd post this since no one really wants to talk about anything.
Hello there everyone. I have decided to join this rp. Leaning towards the Assassin of Black (Jack the Ripper). I would like to ask how everyone feels about Jacks Preemptive strike ability. Murderer of the Misty Night It essentially grants a free preemptive strike during the night time.
(I like to conceptualise Night time as the time between 9pm & 6am)
As I've said in the titanpad chat this is what I think:
: Murderer of the misty night as a skill is ok 12:03 Vance: a free first strike is fine in itself 12:04 Vance: Likewise the mist is ok (as a noble phantasm) 12:04 Vance: it's a debuffer noble phantasm at best, and hurts enemy masters. It 12:05 Vance: It also lets her set up her ability to use her presence concealment. 12:09 Vance: Fighting in the day is all down to luck but remember this is a team based war. Saber, or Lancer can easily make up for anything if they're nearby
MoMN isn't that broken if you're fighting Servants with it. It's when you get a preemptive on Masters that it becomes an issue, but that's kind of the point for Assassin class so
Also not exactly what you were asking for, but in keeping with the spirit of Murderer of the Misty Night, I'd personally think night in this case would just be sundown-sunrise. But to each their own.

At the moment I've tried arguing over the ability to attack a master. It seems to have come down to the fact of how prepared a master is.
Misty Night Murderer - Rank A: As a murderer rather than an assassin, she can strike before her victim. However, she can only unconditionally take the first strike at night. During the day, a luck roll is required. Jack the Ripper's victims are believed to have all been attacked while off-guard.
If it's just "strike before the victim", I think you could make a case for the Master's Servant being able to react to it if they're close enough to their Master (the victim) since the Servant isn't the target?
But then again there's this bit too:
Presence Concealment - Rank A+: A skill that suppresses presence as a Servant, suitable for covert action. If presence were fully suppressed, she would be nearly impossible to detect. However, when prepared to attack, Presence Concealment's rank falls substantially. This weakness is compensated for with "Misty Night Murderer", allowing for a perfect surprise attack.
Though tbh if we just ignore the highlighted bit, it wouldn't be that broke.
I gave Charak a set of nerfs to apply to Jack the Ripper. The end result of the character is not just going to be decided by me but by all of you @Loki Odinson@Grey@BubbleGumKing@Shadow Daedalus@Turboshitter minus maybe Loki. If you don't Jack as a servant in this roleplay because of her rather frankly disturbing level of ability to kill people easily then you may say no to it.
On the word of Loki if she doesn't post in two days (the aforementioned monday deadline) I'm going to be using someone to off her master because even more time than Phase was alloted to Loki due to her good tendencies but it is still hurting Bubblegum's ability to post. In that case then rider will go to a new master if we get a new person interested. OR will be transferred over to Leon for safe keeping until a new master appears for her if ever.
My only other recourse for this roleplay would be a complete reboot and we can negate that since bubblegum has agreed to play Caster.
Nicknames:The Legendary Serial Killer, Murderer in the Misty Night
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Servant of: (insert master when I get around to it)
Catalyst For Summon: Their Six Knives
Weapon(s): Four knives of whose shape has been described as odd in appearance. Two butcher's knives, and a black bloodstained Scalpel.
Wish: To return to the safe and comfortable warmth within her mothers womb.
Abilities:
Murderer of the Misty Night is a skill associated with the Servant's nature as a serial killer rather than as an Assassin, which permits preemptive strike against all opponents. However, unconditional success of the skill is possible only at night. Requires a successful Luck Check for use during daytime. (From the conditions of their bodies, it is believed that all of the victims of Jack the Ripper were assailed when unguarded).
Provides a probability that mental interference magecraft will be rendered ineffective. In the condition that the Servant's master is of Evil alignment, and perpetrates acts of cruelty against the Servant, Mental Pollution will increase in rank, further increasing defenses against magecraft. However, as the Servant's psyche is inherently broken, this may result in irreversible deterioration.
Information Erasure (情報抹消, Jōhō Masshō?) is the removal of information regarding the Servant's true name, abilities, and appearance from the records and memories of all witnesses, including the opponent, following the conclusion of an engagement.
B: (Jack The Ripper) This effect is enforced even within digital recordings by a closed-circuit camera in broad daylight. However, evidence of the engagement is not removed from the scene, and by way of logical deduction, the Servant's identity may be revealed.
Surgical Procedure (外科手術, Geka Shujutsu?) is the capability of surgical repair with use of a bloodstained scalpel, applicable to the Servant or her Master.
E: Jack the Ripper (Assassin) Despite the technique being 120 years old, and somewhat unreliable by visual appearance alone, the procedures manage to attain their intended effect, boosted somewhat with application of Magical Energy. (The victims of were found with their organs removed in such a way as to require anatomical knowledge or skill with dissection.)
Class Abilities:
Complete presence cut off makes detection near impossible. Switching to the preparation of an attack drops the rank of Presence Concealment greatly, this weakness can be compensated by "Murderer of the Misty Night," and a Near perfect surprise attack is possible. Some opponents may sense the rippers presence before she has the time to strike, giving them the time to block her attack.

Name: The Mist: Darkened Misty Metropolis Quote: "Home." Rank: C Type: Barrier Range: 1-10 Description: [fig 1] The Mist: Darkened Misty Metropolis is a Bounded Field Noble Phantasm generated from an antique lantern that reenacts the phenomenon of the "Mist of Death". Upon opening the shutter and gently touching the candle inside, the lit flame instantly begins to generate smoke-like mist from the bottom of the lantern. The mist, wrought of magical energy, forms a Bounded Field around the area that has a negative effect on all those who enter within the perimeter. Normal humans will quickly faint from pain upon coming in contact with the dense cloud of enveloping smoke, as simply breathing it in burns the throat and direct contact with eyes causes them to fester. They start to suffocate due to being unable to breath, and they cannot see anything as they writhe in pain. She can easily use this time to selectively kill them, or she can simply wait for them to be inflicted with death within a few turns. Magi will not immediately perish, but they will receive continuous damage. Heroic Spirits will not receive damage, but they will have a Rank Down in Agility.
Jack is able to direct The Mist as she wishes in order to select which targets within the Bounded Field are affected, allowing her to leave a blank space around her Master. She is also able to limit it to only a specific area.
It also affects the sense of direction of those within the field perimeter, making them lose their bearing of the area. Even within a familiar enclosed space, the mist deceives all those trying to escape into running around in circles in the same place without realizing it. Normal humans will always die in agony without ever being able to escape. The only means of escape for magi and Servants are the employment of Magecraft or a Rank B or higher in Instinct. The Mist quickly clears upon being deactivated.
Maximum range of the mist is 20 meters, Keeping the mist active will constantly drain the Masters Mana Supply,
Name: Maria the Ripper Quote: "Dismember." / "Paint the Town red." Rank: D-B Type: Anti-Unit Range: 1-10 Description: Maria The Ripper: Holy Mother of Dismemberment. is a set of four strangely shaped knives. They are normally classified as Rank D Noble Phantasms, but they can be empowered under certain conditions by "the hatred of children who were denied everything, even the chance to sell their own flesh; the children who were abandoned back then by the 80,000 prostitutes in the London ghettos in order to maintain their own livelihood." If activated normally, they can be used to deal physical damage to the target while the conditions are not completely fulfilled. Upon fulfilling them, the damage rendered receives a large boost in Rank and the attack can guarantee instant death. If a) "it is night-time," b) "the target is a female," c) "it is misty," the knives manifest within the target's body, instantly vivisecting their flesh. The attack is communicated as a curse rather than a physical technique executed by utilizing the set of knives, so it may be used at range. Physical defense is impossible, but resistance to curses may permit evasion. The Maximum Range of this Technique is 15 Meters, That is only if all the conditions have been met, Otherwise the attack is a simple Enhanced cutting attack.
Jack the Ripper
Alright so I made a simple nerf to her presence concealment surprise attack, It is no longer perfect, Due to how quickly her concealment drops an opponent whom is well aware of their surroundings will notice the sudden presence and will be capable of guarding themselves. (well of course unless she somehow manages to get directly behind you)
Also for rp fairness. Murderer can't be used to score lethal blows.
didn't use Jackie's superior first ascension design 0/10
More seriously, I don't have any real issue with it. Most of the enemy Servants so far are guys, so Maria isn't gonna take all the challenge out of the RP and MoMN+PC combo has been nerfed enough.
I also appreciate how well The Mist can synergize with the rest of the Cavalry Classes' ability sets.
Just for fun I went on Shindan and did a few generators and one of the fates one cast me as some sort of bizarre pseudo assassin caster who's either really broken or shitty.
Class: Caster Alignment: Lawful neutral Strength: A Defence: D Agility: A+ Magic: A+ Luck: B Noble Phantasm: A+
Personal skills: Presence concealment Hexcraft
According to this random generator I could probably destroy a good amount of servants lol.
@vancexentan I'd just like to clarify, but what happens to the Master when their servant is killed in terms of the connection? I'd imagine it would be akin to a physical sensation like pain or maybe exhaustion, or it is simply the feeling of losing the connection?
