[OOC] Fate/esoterica

[VitaVitaAR]

I'd prefer if we got all the Servant slots filled before we start potentially only making one character.

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR Yeah, i could make Rider and Rider's master instead, if you'd like.

@Shadow Daedalus I have ideas for Assassins, if you would like a few. William Tell is one solid idea, and there is Locusta (a woman who made poisons for emperors in Rome), Guy Fawkes (ah, the Gunpowder Plot), and even possibly Grendel (since he is descended from the human Cain) from Beowulf perhaps since he killed men in the dead of night and such?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: Well, you would be playing Rider and someone else's Master, to avoid being stuck RPing with yourself.

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR Ah! No problem either way.

So should i go ahead and aim for making a Rider now? :)

[VitaVitaAR]

Yeah, since @Shadow Daedalus wants Assassin.

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Estelle Varianbec
• Age: 4. Physically she can be said to look around nine or ten, and mentally she is roughly in her late teens or early twenties.
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Doubting me means you'll lose before the fight even starts."
• Personality: Estelle is seemingly a cocky, arrogant girl who flaunts her inherent aptitude with magecraft. She is a well-read and knowledgeable girl on top of this, quick to use all forms of research to support her perceived superiority. She has very little patience for others as well, and is prone to begin mocking and taunting those she believes deserve it without hesitation. Estelle is also liable to flaunt what she believes is a cute and endearing appearance granted to her by the Varianbec family. Beneath all of this is a childish wonder at the world, and a desire to experience as much as she can in spite of the situation her life has been spent preparing her for. She feels some level of resentment towards her family, in a way, due to tight control that is normally kept on her movements. Estelle is determined to do whatever it is she can to enjoy herself in whatever amount of time she has. While she is not without compassion, she is still a very haughty and bossy girl with a mild sadistic streak.
• Skills:
• Abilities: As Estelle is a homunculus, it is more accurate to describe her as a human created to be a magic circuit rather then a human created to be a magus. Her body contains an enormous amount of high-quality circuits, making her an incredibly potent wielder of magecraft. Her body is frail, but her magecraft carries an intense potency most exemplified in her choices made when in battle. She can construct a localized bounded field to defend herself from damage, and produce multiple points from which to fire beams of intensely destructive prana. A high-grade mystery in terms of modern magecraft, these beams are devised from numerous formulas from the Varianbec family's past in order to create a potent offensive weapon, a tool created specifically for the Grail War in order to best assure her own survival and defeat of the other Masters if she must. If required, she can unite the independent points to create a single, more dangerous blast of prana. As a homunculus, she is capable in all areas that her family excels in, such as the direction and flow of prana and the reconstruction of damaged familiars. Finally, she is accompanied by an assortment of homunculus maids. These maids may be converted into a set of Mystic Codes if absolutely necessary, a defensive dress and a wand for channeling prana.
• Brief Backstory: Estelle was created as a receptacle for all of the Varianbec family's artifice. A sole individual who could continue the family's work even after the rest of them were gone. And, indeed, the rest of the Varianbec family no longer exists. All that remains is Estelle and the series of lesser homunculi they created for her care and upkeep. These homunculi were left with a strict series of orders ensuring that Estelle is not permitted to wander freely due to the importance of her existence. However, one of their key purposes was in grooming Estelle for participation in a future Grail War. The Varianbec family participated in the conception and creation of the Redrock Grail prior to their sudden disappearance, and as a result, Estelle was groomed to be their entry into the Redrock Grail War.

[VitaVitaAR]

Sorry for making another post, but as Servants are completed I'll be adding the "completed" tag to them in the character list, meaning they're approachable for pairings!

[Blackstripe]

Saber, Cassandra would try to summon Saber, of course.

[VitaVitaAR]

I'll be honest and say I'm not completely sure that pairing would work out for IC reasons, given Saber is my Servant and I'm not sure they would gel well. ^^;

... on another note not actually sure which class Estelle would go with. It'd be way too easy to pair the loli with Berserker so I should probably try and avoid that, but Berserker's not in yet.

[Blackstripe]

@VitaVitaARThat's part of the fun, isn't it? One of my favorite relationships in Fate was El-Malloi and Diarmuid, just due to how different they were.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Blackstripe: Hmm...

Maybe. Though we only have two Masters in right now so it might be best to wait until then, but I'll keep it in mind.

I'm eager to see more Servants and Masters come in!

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR It says Rider is completed? I haven't sent in anything yet! XD

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: ... Ahh, I'm so sorry. I made a mistake, there's two claims on Rider at the moment and I'm not quite sure how to reconcile this now.

There's one bio submitted already but there's two claims...

I'm sorry, this is my fault entirely and I completely lost track of things.

[Rin]

@Crusader LordOr as I more succintly put it when Vita brought it up to me, "we done fucked up".

We'll... Try and figure out some way to fix this I guess. Apologies for the inconvenience.

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR@Rin Oh! There were two claims on Rider? Yikes, that's quite a situation to have on your hands.

But it's ok. Accidents happen. Though i guess i can try to throw in a couple ideas to attempt to help the situation. :)

1. There could be a "false" servant in the Grail War who is in the container of one of the seven servant classes, similar to the situation from Fate/Stay Night, who was summoned in an erroneous way (like Medea, a Caster servant, having summoned Kojiro who was a fake servant) or the like that allowed them to be summoned into the Grail War. This could be while a "true" version of the servant was also summoned.

2. Maybe one of the extra "irregular" classes, like the Shielder class from Fate/GO or the Avenger class like the Einzberns tried to summon in the Third Holy Grail War, was summoned due to some kind of interference by one of three families who made the original Grail War (Einzberns, Matou, or Tohsaka trying to get in on the action, perhaps via a proxy or Kiritsugu-like figure) or some other error in the system or an attempted summoning.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: Hmm... Given we screwed up and this is a flawed Grail I'd say it's not impossible to excuse one of those things this once.

That being said, I'd definitely say Avenger is kind of gimping yourself in most cases, so I'd advise against that.

I think the easiest to work out would be a "Fake" Servant.

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR@Rin Yeah....Avenger class would probably be a pretty weak idea! XD

But if a "Fake" servant like Kojiro Sasaki (essentially an extra servant of one class) would be the best idea, then no problem! :D

Still, those are just my suggestions for ideas. I don't want to feel i am forcing something on both of you.

[Rin]

@Crusader LordIt's fine, we kind of screwed up anyways so... Yeah. ^^; Again, sorry about that.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: It's completely fine, like @Rin said.

And I definitely think a "Fake" works the best.

[Blackstripe]

@VitaVitaARSo, since I submitted the profile first, is mine "True Rider"?
