Sometimes hotlinks to resources won't work, sometimes they'll work as embeddings, sometimes the person needs to copy and paste the URL directly rather than using it as a link. Can also depend on what you're sharing the link on. Makes it better to reupload a lot of things if necessary.

Funny, those links worked fine on my end.

When it comes to wikis it's always a gamble. It's one of those mysteries of the internet no one can ever figure out.

Ok, I decided to try a different Master this time:


Height: Short | Weight: Light as a Feather

  • Name: Feng Xiaoyu
  • Age: 17 years
  • Bio: Xiaoyu is the successor of a lineage with roots on Chinese Alchemy. By their accounts, their bloodline dates all the way back to the First Emperor's era when they were part of his courtly mages, assisting him in his search for the secrets of immortality. Needless to say, such pursuits were in vain, but the Feng never ceased to seek it. Even in an age when magecraft dwindled and the secrets of the Immortal Sages have long since been lost, they still continue on their journey. Perhaps, all they need is a push to find the right way. Despite being a reclusive clan, the promises whispered in the wind about Fusang City attracted Xiaoyu's attention. She decided to investigate it on her own, hoping to find what she needs to unlock the next step in their research.

    In regards to Xiaoyu's personality. She has a choleric temperament, being imperious and as stubborn as an Ox while emitting the "aura of a cat". When she sets her mind on a goal, she'll do her best to accomplish it, usually going above and beyond the call of duty. As expected of her headstrong personality, she's also quite quick to anger. However, once you earn her trust, she'll become your most reliable friend. If one were to attach labels to people and be capable of describing them in a single word, Xiaoyu would essentially be a classic tsundere.
  • Abilities: Xiaoyu's magecraft is based on traditional Eastern methods. It's a varied art using a number of talismans as a medium to deliver spells. It's mainly used for divination and excels at Bounded Fields, but she's also capable of some other applications.

    In addition to her magecraft, she also possesses Mystic Eyes, called Mystic of Vertigo「Disorientation」, they are capable of interfering with others' sense of balance, causing nausea, disorientation, and even knocking them out, depending on their resistance to magical energy.

    On the mundane side, Xiaoyu is a really good cook, with a strong predilection for spicy cuisine and cold desserts. She's also very knowledgeable in many sorts of esoteric fields, as expected of an heiress of a mage family. However, Western Mysticism isn't her forte.

    Lastly, Xiaoyu is a very skilled martial artist. Her proficiency with it might actually surprise some who would take her smallish build to be a sign of weakness.
  • Other: Her Mystic Eyes—which shine with the iridescent luster of mother-of-pearl—are a vestigial trace of her bloodline, said to be descended from an ancient Dead Apostle. The fact that she isn't very fond of sunlight could add weight to this story. However, Xiaoyu has yet to show any signs of being a member of a bloodsucking species.

Well, alright. Here we are, migraine's not as bad as I thought it was going to be so I managed to at least get it to an acceptable state. A master for approval. If needed, I'll see about spinning up a servant I guess but I'm still unconfident in my ability to play them.

As I said before, anyone is fine with me. My Master idea is compatible with pretty much anyone here.

Of course, if I have to call dibs, I would say I'm into Arturia first, but that's just to be expect.

Alright, here's a servant.






  • Class: Berserker
  • True Name: Scylla
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Appearance: Scylla with her usual look is a fairly standard size, though perhaps on the thin side in tattered clothes, bandages and chains around her. Her white shoulder length hair always seems to be an unkempt mess even when proper care is given to it.
  • Bio: Scylla was, at one time, a Naiad. A Nymph. As the stories go, she caught the eye of Poseidon and was poisoned by the Nereid Amphitrite, his wife, out of jealousy. The poison did not kill her, but instead, turned her into a mad and terrible monster of the sea.

    Thus, from then on, in her rage, she attacked nearby ships, seizing sailors and eating them. In his flight home, Odysseus encountered her and passed her with only some of his men being taken. Even later, she was killed by Heracles. Despite that, she was said to have been brought back to life by her father, Phorcys, but appling flaming torches to her body.

    Now, however, she has two different forms. A more humanoid form and her true, monstrous form. In her humanoid form, she has more control over her thoughts and actions though she tends to be easy to anger, even against her master. Though, she tends to at least play nice with her master despite the outward threats she gives at times. She tends to seek out things that interest her to keep her mind busy.

    Her true form, however, is a hell of a lot more destructive and almost mindless, much like she is from her myths. While in this state, there’s some part of her humanoid vestige that tries to reign the beast in, but mostly she turns into a beast that enjoys destroying everything around her and just about anything that seems possibly edible will look like food to her.
  • Parameters:
    STR: C | AGI: C | END: B | MGI: D | LCK: E | NP: A+
  • Class Skills:
    Madness Enhancement EX: Rather than having a pure state of insanity, it would be more correct to describe it as having the actual mentality of a monster. For the most part, she runs off her instincts, guts and desires while also having destructive tendencies. This only becomes more obvious the closer she gets to her true monstrous form.
  • Personal Skills:
    -Monstrous Strength A:: As a giant monster, Scylla of course has the strength befitting one. The more she taps into this, the closer she gets to using her Noble Phantasm without her intention of even doing so.
    -Divinity B: As she was once a Naiad, she is a form of divinity.
    -Battle Continuation A: Scylla will keep fighting until the apparent end, though, as a monstrous being it might be a bit more difficult to truly kill her than it might seem. Once left for dead by a famous hero, she was awakened when the light of a torch was shown over her body.
  • Noble Phantasms:
    Abominable Devourer of Man: Scylla Scylla unleashes her true, monstrous form. She turns into a 30-foot tall monstrosity with many tentacles, dog heads and a cat tail. Her true power is unleashed and her sentience is limited, especially when battle is concerned. She can bring it out of her own free will, but it can come out on her own when she gets frustrated or angry to a certain extent. One thing that can be certain, is the destruction that will follow.

  • Extra Info:
    -Scylla tries to keep herself entertained so she can keep her destructive impulses under control. She tries just about anything that seems interesting.
    -She is also very hungry.

@Pyromania99: Accepted.

Anyways, Master time.

  • Name: Uehara Shou
  • Age: 18
  • Appearance: "Oh, sorry, I'm in the middle of something. Give me a moment."
  • Personality: Shou is a bit more sociable than one might expect, and despite his occasional weird bouts of focus or aloofness, he does have a tendency to get along with most others if given the time. He does not tend to anger easily and is often times able to keep a cool head in more stress-inducing circumstances, but that does not mean he cannot have lapses in judgement or respond to malice with malice. Due to his relatively strenuous upbringing, though, Shou is a bit of a busybody; boredom (or what he perceives as such) is the bane of his existence, and there is only so much of it that he can take before he will actively search out something interesting to use his time and effort on in lieu of laying about aimlessly.
  • Abilities: As a descendant of a long line of onmyoji, Shou is proficient in the creation and manipulation of Bounded Fields via the usage of ofuda. Coupled with his elemental affinity of Water, though, his Fields are able to shift in shape and location without sacrificing any defensive capabilities. Furthermore, Shou is able to layer those Bounded Fields on top of one another, further increasing their defensive capabilities, or invert them to keep whatever is inside from leaving rather than entering. As is standard for onmyoji, Shou is also able to create and use evil-warding talismans and charms, and, provided enough time, charms for protection or luck. Of course, the latter do not work for himself, but they are quite useful to make (and sell) when he is in need of money. Exorcism is also within his repertoire, as he can dispel lesser evil spirits with next to no work, but he is by no means able to handle anything beyond that without far more training or preparation.
  • History: As far as growing up went, Shou found himself walking the odd line between modernism and tradition; though his grandparents were very steadfast in attempting to raise him as they had (with all the pride and decorum that came with being from a centuries-old line of onmyoji), his parents were nowhere near as conservative. That dichotomy had brought with it an increasingly more complex set of relationships—on one hand, he had an obligation to carry on the intense training that came with his lineage. On the other, however, the allure of modern-day life (and all the luxuries and excitement that came with it) only served to push him towards a lifestyle that, at the very least, would allow him some respite from the same monotonous cycles he had drilled into him.
    The rapid rise of Fusang in the public eye gave Shou the perfect the solution to both of his problems. Though he was by no means a prodigy, a decade of his life being spent taking in the wisdom of his predecessors had, at the very least, allowed his parents to push his elders to let him travel overseas to study there. Not only that, but a land full of Servants, of Heroic Spirits with all their past experiences, might even allow him to find one of the founders of their craft and study under their tutelage directly.
    Of course, that last bit was more of a way to convince his elders more than anything; Shou had no reason to pursue even more strenuous training so long as he was caught between these two ways of living. If anything, his time in a place like Fusang would only allow him to choose for himself what path to live.
  • Other: Surprisingly, he is multilingual; as onmyoji has roots from within Chinese mysticism, learning all three languages was something half-forced onto him. He's not fluent in Mandarin, but given the writing system, he can at least understand most of a piece of written Chinese if it becomes necessary.


Whee surname changes.

Okay, sorry for the delay; was hashing things out to finish preparing. The RP should likely be starting sometime later today; as no one else seems to be preparing to make a Master, what we have now is... Well, what we have.

The following are the pairs I'm aware of thus far:
  • Nanako - Melt
  • Erika - Beni
  • Feng - Artoria
  • Thalia - Scylla
  • Shou - Trieu

This does, of course, leave us with two unpaired Servants—namely, @Rezod92's Fran and @KoL's Li. I should be able to weave the Servants themselves in, but as we don't have any proper Masters to tie to the two of them, it'd probably be ideal to simply handwave the issue until it becomes relevant.

Edit: Okay, job done. Feel free to borgar it up, everyone. Or not. Your choice.

  • Name: Tsugihara Runa
  • Age: 18
  • Appearance: Moonlight Fairytale Maiden. A somewhat short, slight girl always clad in traditional Japanese clothing.
  • Personality: A straightlaced and serious girl. Runa's mentality is one of commitment born from her family's methodology when approaching magecraft: She takes her emulation of the idea of folklore and fairytales quite seriously. This extends to much of what she does, Runa is a quite serious girl who displays a considerable temper and low tolerance for tomfoolery as well as considerable pride in her bloodline and her capabilities as a magus. Runa is also prideful in regards to her deep knowledge of folkore, primarily and particularly Japanese folklore as her family's magecraft is distinctive in its reliance on it. However, at times certain cracks show through Runa's demeanor. She is quite fond of animals, particularly small and soft ones, and is quite easily embarrassed. A particular source of embarrassment is her complete failure when it comes to the subject of preparing food. While certainly not requisite to a magus, her incapability when it comes to cooking is both embarrassing and simultaneously something she will steadfastly refuse to admit to. A dangerous combination.
  • Abilities: The basis of the magecraft of the Tsugihara family is the folklore of their homeland. Stories such as Taketori Monogatari, tales of various yokai, all of these form the foundation of the Tsugihara's craft. However, they are still distinct in practicing magecraft rather then onmyodo. In order to maintain the folkloric image, the Tsugihara dress in traditional clothing, and due to their Japanese blood use exclusively concepts from Japanese folklore for maximum effect. Runa in particular, with her high grade magic circuits, has a variety of spells she is capable of performing, and her affinity to Fire and Air offers her numerous options. Examples include fiery projectiles modeling on onibi and razor gusts of wind modeled on the Kamaitachi. Chief among her tools as a magus is her familiar, a fox capable of taking human form modeled on the ever-popular legend of the kitsune. The primary use of this familiar is as an assistant, both for mundane purposes and for combat. However, she can also be used as something akin to a living magic wand, enhancing Runa's magecraft and permitting long-range rituals.
  • History: The advancement of the Tsugihara's magecraft has long been at the forefront of the family head's thoughts. By utilizing folklore, something that is endlessly recorded and reused, it is believed that they have a solid foundation for their magecraft. However, the creation of Fusang offered a unique opportunity for the Tsugihara heir: to make a contract with a figure whose story was conveyed through the very folklore forming the foundation of their magecraft. The decision to send Runa to Fusang was met with little protest, Runa herself quite eager to carry out what she felt was the opportunity of a lifetime, and did everything she could on her arrival to ensure the Servant she summoned would be a figure of the folklore she remembered without fail. She did not, perhaps, expect Benienma, but she is hardly about to protest upon learning the sparrow was far more then the fairytale conveyed.
  • Other: N/A

Speaking of (sorta) reviving this thread:

Pairs shuffled around; Old Li now paired with my Master, Vita's new one paired to Beni. Things should proceed with retcons from there accordingly.

Just making the statement as a case of recordkeeping here.

I haven't seen any Masters, but at this point it might be better to just assume playing Masterless is the ideal option.

Oh right, for official purposes:

If going Masterless is an option, I guess I'll take it.

Though, does that mean any one of the other Masters can pick me up as a 2nd Servant?

I think we want to go for 1:1 for the sake of grouping though, so... Awkward. Hm.
