[OOC] Fate/esoterica

[Cu Chulainn]

@WanderingSpirit George Washington would have at least one nuclear warhead, I'm pretty sure

[Raineh Daze]

@Crusader Lord Gil actually puts effort in, war ends inconclusively because he just broke it.

Summon both of them? He's not going to let that go.

[WanderingSpirit]

@Crusader Lord
I... Uhhh... Counter with Shamhat, she uses charm! It's super effective? (she'll probably live on the side lines, thats a win!)

[Rin]

I mean I'd love to see William Wallace as a Saber since it'd be cool to have at least one Scottish Servant, but they'd probably end up turning him into a girl with huge boobs or even worse, Mel Gibson. So uh... Yeah.

[Crusader Lord]

@Raineh Daze Probably. Would be fun to watch, though, maybe with a bag of popcorn on hand and a camera feed to watch the action from a few thousand miles away. XD

You know, before the two of them obliterate the fabric of reality in the process of things.

@WanderingSpirit
>Shamhat uses Charm!

>Gilgamesh is not affected.
>Enkidu is confused....Enkidu accidentally hit himself in confusion!

For real, though, i think Shamhat would make a decent Caster.

@Rin Or they could make in into a "Moe" little girl with a gigantic sword many times longer than her body. Or Boobs!Mel-Gibson.

[Rin]

Or Boobs!Mel-Gibson.

@Crusader Lord

Welp, that image is going to haunt my nightmares.

[Raineh Daze]

@Crusader Lord I remember someone once trying to do that.

It was: A) terribly done, B) it's a fucking prostitute, and C) suffered from a crucial fundamental flaw.

AKA: Gilgamesh is the Oldest Hero. It's quite simple.

[Crusader Lord]

@Raineh Daze Yeah, Gil's always gonna be the oldest hero. Never gonna debate that.

She'd just probably be the weakest OC to be summoned from that sort of era for her minor role in things, though i'd argue she would have some form of magecraft from that era still. Though a prostitute, she was likely a priestess in the process who probably picked up some stuff in that time. Not that the sex magic part would be RP-friendly at all.

But meh, let's get away from discussing the matter. Opinions are opinions. :P

And let us discuss how to weaponize the small, murderous cinnamon roll's cuteness. XD

[Crusader Lord]

@Raineh Daze

[Raineh Daze]

You weaponise it by telling her that something else needs to die. Or that it's fine to kill it. :D

Said cuteness then goes along with the rest of her and the knives to let out a fountain of gore.

[WanderingSpirit]

@Crusader Lord
Just let it fade to black and let the bedroom mana generator do her thing... I'd agree on her being a decent Caster from whatever they did back then with Ishtar and her followers. She was a Servant I had in the makings with Beserker-countering things but that didn't work so nice in text. It involved a lot of explaining so wasn't worth it

(Wait... who are we weaponizing?)

[Raineh Daze]

"Had sex with someone" is not sufficient qualification to be a Servant. That's just lazy writing.

[Feyblue]

@Raineh DazeNot that the sex magic part would be RP-friendly at all.

@Crusader Lord

DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR A MANA TRANSFER DRAGON?

[Crusader Lord]

@Raineh Daze Example of other lazy Nasu writing: Marie Antoinette as a servant....with a reality marble as an NP...in the rider class. My goodness why did they do that for Grand Order. Among other things, that is.

"Jackie, you can go kill that bad lady over there, ok? Mommy will make you a special dinner if you make sure she's dead!" >:D

@WanderingSpirit Weaponizing Jack's cuteness.

@Feyblue EVERYONE SCATTER!!! Fey found the discussion! XD

[Raineh Daze]

Theeeeere's a pretty clear indication when it's actually Nasu behind something. And you're not helping your case for acceptable Servant design by bringing up GO, where nobody seemed to realise there was a need for Servant QC until Nasu got involved again. >.>

[Rin]

@Crusader LordI mean, I agree that Marie Antoinette should never have really been a Servant. But she also has an actually decent design I guess so that makes me a little bit conflicted since I love her big silly hat.

...Although really, the best thing to come out of Grand Order was d'Eon. d'Eon is pretty much perfect.

[Crusader Lord]

@Raineh Daze I wasn't arguing any case at all. Seriously. I mean, hey, it is what it is. I was literally just switching gears and bringing up another case of bad servant writing for fun. :)

@Rin She is adorable in the France part of the game, though. So glad they came out with an English version of Fate/GO this year.

Also would protest saying d'Eon is the best part of the game tho. But that's just me. Still found their design to be cool in the end., like many of the servants! XD

[Raineh Daze]

@Cu Chulainn Please release me from this limbo. ;~;

So out of curiosity, what does everybody think of Lancer so far? This is my first time writing her, so I'm a little curious to see how people think I'm doing. 0w0
