[OOC] Fate/esoterica

[VitaVitaAR]

@Shadow Daedalus: A couple things: You understand basic Gandr is curse that just makes the target sick, right?

Also, why would a rogue magus attack a military platoon? That seems counterproductive. ^^;

[Crusader Lord]

Speaking of the servants and masters almost being completed:

Are any of the remaining servants interested in Elizabeth? :)

[Shadow Daedalus]

@VitaVitaAR

Yes, I know what Gandr is. I figured its a basic enough curse that a low-skill Magus would know, and it would provide a bit of an advantage if he needed it. Nausea or just general unwellness can be a distraction, and even the smallest distraction can be fatal in combat.

As for why, why do any militants do anything? Ideology? Revenge? Money/Self-gain? James neither knows nor cares, but just to set the record straight the Magus was radicalised while visiting as an aid worker and he attacked them alongside an extremist cell. Not the smartest idea, sure, but extremists seldom have those anyway.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Shadow Daedalus: ... Have to be honest, you'd have to scrap most of the backstory for it to become acceptable right now.

I'm sorry, but those aspects of the backstory, especially dealing with the rogue mage, don't make much sense to me at all. The more I've learned about it the more it just doesn't mesh with the setting as far as I can see.

Sorry again, but you'll have to rework him completely at this rate.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@VitaVitaAR The idea is, at it's most basic, a character that uses guns over magecraft (partially because I like the idea, partially because the Magecraft system is a convoluted mess). Is that concept itself the problem or is it just his backstory that's the problem?

Would a Career Mage Killer (trained and raised by his parents) hired by one of the three major families work better?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Shadow Daedalus: Kiritsugu was effective because he was trained in eliminating magi, he had the Origin Bullets, he was unexpected, and he played extremely dirty. He had a good understanding of magecraft on top of that.

Just using a gun is surprising since a mage isn't going to expect it, but just using a gun isn't good enough to give you an advantage. Volumen Hydragyrum would have blocked any other bullets, and the same goes for your average defensive bounded fields. Reinforcing your body can let you dodge pretty effectively too.

Basically, if you want to make a Magus Hunter who uses guns, they need to have understanding of Magecraft and training in how to kill magi and also cheat all the time.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@VitaVitaAR I was specific in my wording when I said 'over' and not 'instead of', and you've already shot down my attempt as somewhat replicating Origin Rounds. My original idea for them were bullets that completely eliminated Magecraft, like Bounded Fields etc, but I thought that would be too overpowered, considering that would extend to the Magecraft that allows Servants to exist.

Either way, This is rapidly becoming more hassle than it's worth, so I'm respectfully withdrawing both my applications. Best of Luck, I hope this goes well, Vale

[Raineh Daze]

Since this seems to leave a gap in the necessary 7 Servants/Masters, I'd like to volunteer.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Raineh Daze: Well, we need that cap filled and no-one else has volunteered for Assassin. ^^;

[Raineh Daze]

Also I'm just going to come out and say this because it's literally impossible to keep this a secret OOC and it creates a restriction on Masters that actually work:

Assassin.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Raineh Daze: The Dreaded 403 Forbidden?!

[Raineh Daze]

Okay, try this one:



I don't feel entirely comfortable with just posting her normal outfit here. xD

[Rin]

:D

[Cu Chulainn]

Dang, there goes using F/SF Berserker as my fallback option.

UPDATE: So my Berserker has been approved if anyone's interested in pairing up! They come with their own Command Seals, too!

[VitaVitaAR]

And Berserker, too, is completed!

[Crusader Lord]

:D

@Rin

XD

@Cu Chulainn

@Cu Chulainn *gasp* But wait, there's more! :P

@WanderingSpirit@Cu Chulainn@Raineh Daze Just to be more formal about this, though, i want to submit my interest in each of your servants. Though since i am already partnered with Cu's master, to be fair in things i am placing greater emphasis on wanting to partner with either the servant of @WanderingSpirit or the servant of @Raineh Daze. :3

[Raineh Daze]

Well, she fits the bill of "Female, adult, and not completely off her rocker" that makes for the best results with Jack.

Pretty certain a guy is just getting filleted at some point no matter how they act.

[Rin]

@Crusader LordBut that's a Cardcaptor Sakura reference! D:

[Crusader Lord]

@Rin I know, Jackie's quite the "card", but i was just wanting to keep the magical girl theme running! Sorry i made you sad. :(

I enjoyed watching Cardcaptor Sakura when i was younger though. Still have the old VHS movie for it.

And i love your Little Witch Academia profile pic! :D

@Raineh Daze A guy being filleted would probably be among the least evils, perhaps, considering Jackie's skill with a knife...or several knives in fact.

But does this mean you want to partner up with my master?

After all, someone needs to save the murderous cinnamon roll.

[Rin]

@Crusader LordA BELIEVING HEART IS YOUR MAGIC!

...Now if only I could get @VitaVitaAR to actually get around to watching it already.
