@Shadow DaedalusIt's probably be somewhat akin to a sense of loss and then the mana connection being cut. Maybe a sense of pain if the connection was strong.
@TurboshitterFigured Musashi is legendary in japan and would likely be OP but Musashi has been a guy, a girl, and multiple people at this point. I'm more interested in Fate/Umbral Star as a fan of dynasty warriors I'm considering buying it. Also have you come to your conclusion on Charak's CS? I hate to keep bugging you about it but I am looking to get the review process over as quick as possible.
@Turboshitter Apparently this isn't the real Musashi but like a Musashi from another universe/dimension/timeline/idefk because GO has jumped the shark so far that the concept of sharks and jumping have been removed from reality

It looks fine to me, as long as it's only "near perfect".
No real complaints, only thing I can think of would be 'The only means of escape for magi and Servants are the employment of Magecraft or a Rank B or higher in Instinct.' this section seems a wee bit absolute considering its only limit on you escaping is no sense of direction.
Yeah I'm mostly fine with it, though Eklipse makes a good point. Beyond that, I'm okay with having Assassin

Okay so the thing about Assassins Mist is that it emerges from the lantern correct. Certain people with Wind Magic and or Water magic may be able to divert the mist before they are immersed in it. (hence the usage of magecraft as one of the counters to the technique)
Furthermore due to the mist being laced with magic, it would be a constant drain on the masters magic supply and thus If the servant in question had the disengage skill, they would be able to avoid Assassin in that mist (by continuously breaking away from combat, avoid the serial killer style.) but not leave the mist until the end of its duration. (This is good because Servants take no damage from the mist.)
Name: Taka Frederick Nicknames:The Lonely Trickster Age: 23 Gender: Female Master of: Assassin Command Seal Location: Just beneath her Collarbone on her front. It takes a steely silver colouration. It appears to take the shape of a Jailer's Keyring. Wish: To always be remembered. Origin: Legacy
- Personality: On the surface Taka appears to be a light-hearted and all around cheery girl, who never seems to let the world get her down, someone whom appears to never be tainted by the troubles of life. That is only the surface of her personality, a facade she puts up to protect herself and ease the worries of the people around her because in actuality she is very much worried about the things around her. This may be due to her status as the second daughter to the Frederick family and thus the only whom would never be destined for grandeur, never receive those private fighting lessons or be taught the advanced level of the family's technique of mana burn, or even inherit the family crest.
Of course, she could do little to change that. She lives her life with a simple wish, to be remembered for grandeur. The wish takes a core part of her personality, she does not care if she is remembered as a saint or a sinner, only that the world never forgets her name. It is that selfishness which drives her to do stuff according to her own internal moral compass. Thus she can be seen as a bit of an attention seeker, wanting praise for her actions and what she does. Wanting something to give her that attention.
She views other Magus as overreliant on their grandiose magic, most would struggle to survive without their god given right to cast spells. Thus it makes her happy when she finds the odd one that can survive without magic. It is a thing that she can respect easily.
She views the Servants of the grail war as the thing she wished she could become, The stuff of Legends. Therefore she wholeheartedly respects any servant she has the pleasure of speaking to, be it ally or enemy regardless of the history of the person. They deserve the respect as they have entered the throne of heroes and become someone whom can be called upon at any time to fight. Takas personal relationship with Jack the Ripper takes much the same way. While Jack is first and foremost a serial killer, Taka still treats them as if they was her own daughter, perhaps as an act of defiance against her parents whom were so bad with their parenting.
She is not afraid to let Jack kill those who deserve it, nor does Jack's obsession with her as her 'mother' bother her, in fact she deep down sort of likes it. She will however make use of command spells if the Ripper starts to go out of hand. Of course in order to maintain a good relationship with Jack she can't just force them to stop committing murder all together but she can direct even partially what jack kills. She is in it to win it and with a Servant as potent as the legendary serial killer. She is more than likely to give her enemies one hell of a time.
Biography: Frederick is an old fashioned family of magus specialising in curse magic. The family is of asian-english descent and takes its roots in the capital city of London. While the family believes in upholding a the secrets of mages at all costs, they do not believe in complete societal withdrawal, and thus the family lives a parallel life with the modern developing world. One is how the world sees them, a family whose head is the owner of a successful business. With a beautiful heiress to the name and another daughter that nobody cares to mention as that daughter is not set to receive anything of note. That last detail is the same for the magus side of the family. Taka was never set to inherit anything of note, besides the knowledge of how to use the familys curse which everyone within the family knows how to do. In short Takas life since birth was set to be unfulfilling.
She would never stand for that. She tried to do what any child when ignored does. Give hell to the parents in a bit of attention seeking. In short, she set the kitchen on fire. Her parents ignored her and didn't even tell her off directly, that honor was given to the head manservant who slapped her across the face. That was a defining moment of her childhood, when she realised her parents didn't care for her upbringing. She was as much use to them as a excess part when the machine was fully functional. So in her childhood she resorted to escapism. Reading the legends of the past, of heros and in some cases villains whoms deeds were never ignored whos deeds was past down throughout history.
It was safe to say she wanted to become just like that. A remembered figure of her time immortalised history, never forgotten in the pages of time. So the young girl found a reason to fight the normality of her familys ways. She poured over the libary, retreating from her displays to the modern world for months at a time. In an effort to find the answers of what she was looking for. She never did find it.
At the age of 15 she began taking lessons in the art of physical combat and the usage of guns, she wanted to be able to take on opponents larger then herself like the heros of legends and come out victorous without having to resort to the crutch that was magic. At this age she had come to accepted her nature within the family, but never within the wider world.
19 years of age. She was still the black sheep, the daughter of the Fredericks who was set to receive nothing, she had started to mature into a fine right-minded girl even if her looks was average at best. She still had her deep underlying issue in her persona that would require the much-needed nurture from a family that for all intensive purposes didn't want her. She still kept going, striving for her own personal goal, free of others influence.
22 years of age. She hears about the upcoming grail war about to take fold. At this point her ties to her family were minimal at best. She still lived in the same household supported by their income but the progress of her sister made her existance even less notable. For everything that she could do, her sister could do better but... Could her sister participate in a grail war? Her parents appeared to think so. Hell they even prepared her with the artifact necessary for the servant they was coming to summon. All Taka could do was watch her sister surpass her in everyway. Even with all her hard work and dedication to be somebody, It created a deep set of jealousy towards her sister.
23 years of age: The Night before the intended summoning of jack the Ripper in the Frederick household: two weeks prior to the start of the holy grail war. She was there, the only person awake in this room at the dead of midnight. The mist outside on the london streets. The six blades of the one referred to as Jack was before her. She had one act of defiance in her. She was going to spit in the face of her parents for ignoring her. She knew full well what she was going to be summoning but at this point she was desperate to surpass her sister.
She set up the ritual for summoning Jack. The knives lay played in an ordered array. She poured her magic into the catalyst as a plea to the spirit to respond. Nothing happened. Still the mist continued to swirl outside on the london streets. She had an apathany at that point, opening a window to let the mist gently seep into the room, ruining the furniture that was in it with the moisture. She didn't care.
She tried again. There was a great thickening of the fog in the room. A paid manservant rushed in to check was the commotion was. He opened his mouth to shout for help. Getting so far as the "J-" before his throat was cut by a familiar butcher knife splattering the walls with a unmistakable shade. Taka was in fear of what she summoned. She stared at the petite girl before her. That couldn't be it? that couldn't be Jack the Ripper. Her mind almost wondered to the point of the fact that the legendary serial killer looked better then she did but fear kept her mind focused. The Assassin took a step forward. She crawled back as if to maintain distance. The entity called Jack cocked its head to the side. "Are you our mother?" It asked, its voice sounding childlike in tone. "Why yes! yes I am." Taka hastily replied not knowing what to say. "I would like to form a contract with you." She said continuing as she held out a hand. Leading to Jack to contemplate why the woman had outstretched a limb. Was Jack supposed to cut it? "I will form a contract with my mother." Jack said almost like a happy child was reuniting with her lost parent. Taka was thinking that maybe the legend about Jack wasn't so bad until more manservants came in and met a swift death.
Her face soaked with blood Taka headed out with her servant onto the london streets. She now had the means to become what she dreamed of, A legend. Certainly her family is going to be pissed but what did she care. This helped fulfil her dream.
1 Week before the grail war: She had arrived in Japan having brought a boat ticket before her parents froze all of her assets. Now she was essentially a penniless magus on the streets of Japan armed with a serial killer and a hand gun. She had resorted to theft to feed herself, even sharing unnecessarily with Jack whom had of course preformed the odd murder every now and then. But Taka had made sure that Jack was reminded to make each one different and not default to making patterns. Her parents would find out exactly where she was if Jack started leaving too many breadcrumbs. She grew to trust the Serial Killer named Jack and Jack perhaps found it somewhere within it to trust their master in turn because when they set their minds togather, there was nothing they couldn't kill...
School of Magecraft: Wind element magic & Curses
Spells List:
Silence is a Wind Magic technique that involves the user having vision of the intended target of the technique. The technique works by creating an invisible field around the targets head, this field serves to prevent all sound waves going through it effectively rendering the target deafened and unable to speak. The spell after its application can be maintained for only a few seconds without the need to view the person. This spell is useful in a tactical situation as it can interrupt the chain of command.
An invisible solid air barrier is produced, its size affects its strength, an extremely localized barrier, say one that just protects the user, may be capable of defending against a servants attacks. Though it would be of no help against a direct attack from a noble phantasm. The more the barrier is spread out the weaker it becomes and the more brittle it becomes, The maximum size is 30 meters horizontally and 10 meters vertically, at that point it can only prevent a singular blow. At its most common size of 2 by 2 meters, it is capable of surviving machine gun fire with little loss of durablity.
It works by applying an equal force to what hits it, effectively negating the impact.
Bending the current of air into a curved shape that is moved at rapid speed down onto the target. It functions like the equivalence of a sword slash. The Air can only barely be seen moving, however, it can still be seen. This skill has a maximum range of 15 meters. The size of the slash is limited to one meter.
In order to apply this curse, the user must have direct site of the intended target. The user after choosing the target clenches their hand while keeping view. The effect on the victim is at first unnoticeable but will become so over the course of the fight. The curse leaves no physical injury and does not even affect non-magus.
The Curse creates a theoretical hole in the intended victim's mana supply. Against users with little mana this is a big impact, and thus users with E-D rank in mana suffer with their supply having a rather rapid drainage. (further aggravated if they make usage of Magecraft.) Those who are C rank or above, however, will suffer less from the immediate impacts of the mana leak and can like those of the lower ranks dispel its effects through anti-curse methods, however, usage of mage craft will still cause the leak to worsen and thus decreasing the length the magus would be able to stay in battle. Against Caster type Heroic Spirits this curse has little if any effect due to the biological difference between a Human and a Heroic Spirit.
Does as the name states, removes a curse or curses from an affected individual, depending on the severity it may be only one curse she can remove for the day. In a some cases the magic of the curse may be beyond her abilty to remove it.
This is her most potent curse and she dislikes have to resort to it. It is applied through direct contact wit h the intended victim. The curse affects the victims bone structure making their bones brittle to the point where a weak but direct impact to anywhere would cause breakage. It effectively renders the target unable to resort to physical combat, very useful against certain opponents.
Against Servants the effect of the curse is greatly reduced and at most it causes a slight decrease in strength though that is very unlikely given a servant's magical Resistance.
Amount of Magecraft Mana: B
Skills: Sidearm Marksmanship She is very well equipped in the handling of sidearms, while she may not be able to handle heavier weapons as effectively, she can be quite deadly with a pistol against non-magus opponents making well usage of the cover available to her during her confrontation. This is useful to her as most of her magic is useless against non-magic users. She prefers to wound with her gun, but will not be above killing if she believes it is necessary.
Hand to Hand Combat: While she is not the strongest hand to hand combatant, lacking the brute raw strength in some cases to get the job done. She is capable of incapacitating and even killing someone through the application of attacks to vulnerable areas of the body, her fighting style can be described as a mixture between street fighting and Krav Maga.
Other: She carrys with her, a cellphone for communications and a standard issue Glock 17: A sidearm commonly used by the UK millitary, in the event of a situation where she is unable to use her magic. She will usually carry 4 magazines of ordnance and the bullets are made of purified silver to have a minimal penetrating effect against magical barriers.
Class Name: Assassin
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.
Base Parameters: Strength: (筋力, Kinryoku?): C Endurance: (耐久, Taikyū?): C Agility: (敏捷, Binshō?): A Magical Power: (魔力, Maryoku?): C Good luck: (幸運, Kōun?): E Noble Phantasm: C
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.
I'll accept the characters and ask @turboshitter just for double confirmation.
They look good looking at 'em right now. Also, it doesn't look like Loki's coming back. What are we gonna do about Rider? I'd be willing to make a Master for her instead of Archer.
@Turboshitter The way I plan to do it is attach her to Leon until we can find a specific master for rider there's one guy on here who's checking on and off maybe he'll do it. Leon is a good guy and will accept Rider as his own until she finds her own master. Lancelot will distrust her but he'll allow it since he's well a knight and knights respect women. This way we can keep rider in the game without ruining an plans.
