[OOC] Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

[vFear]

@Shadow Daedalus Not at all, that sounds great.

[Turboshitter]

Wow okay lotsa posts happened while I was at work. Time to read!

@Shadow DaedalusSo his Mystic Code acts as a sort of weaker version of Astolfo's Trap of Argalia rather than Kiritsugu's Origin Bullets? Yeah I can dig it. I'm guessing the shield works similarly but in a defensive capacity?

Anyway, it's approved. I'll add him, Khan, and hopefully Ms. Koenig to the character tab tonight.

@Turboshitter I still have a draft of my original idea, if you want to hear it. It's a lot closer to Kiritsugu's Origin Rounds, but I figured it was a little OP.

Nah I like this one. Knockoffs of Kiritsugu's Origin Bullets are used way too often in fanworks because of how popular Kerry himself is (at least that's my take on it).

@Turboshitter

I know his name is a 'C' not a K but it still made me think of him.

pfffft

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Turboshitter I would like, if possible, to buff it a little so that it's a little more like a Finn-shot and can cause physical damage, but only if you're cool with it. I watered down what I wanted it to be out of fear of rejection

@TurboshitterYou are now imaging Artoria being summoned by Jim Carrey during Fate/Zero.

"Are you my master."

"Damn right I am!"

Alright, posted. Gotta let Daedalus get both his characters in ^^

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Vocab It's ridiculously late at night for me, so I'll have to work on it in the morning... :/

[Temporary]

@Shadow Daedalus das fine, in just setting it up so you don't have more work later on ^^

Okay I just noticed this catching up on today's posts, but a lot of people seem to be writing their characters as if they're already aware that this is going to be a Great Holy Grail War. This is probably my fault for not explaining this, but the Grail's emergency backup hasn't actually been activated yet. It will be activated shortly, because our characters aren't aware that the backup even exists and there's not terribly much anyone can do to make the location of the Greater Grail any more defensible than Ayondale's already has anyway, but at this point in time, our characters are operating under the assumption that this is a normal Grail War.

Therefore they are liable to believe that stealing Ayondale's catalysts and summoning all seven Servants will prevent Ayondale or any of his allies from even participating in the HGW, which was the group's plan all along. They don't know that Black Faction exists, or that summoning 14 Servants is even possible. Right now they're attempting to ruin Ayondale's HGW just by hijacking it and stealing all seven (or even just six) Servants for themselves. The backup actually activating and summoning an additional seven Servants is supposed to be quite the surprise for them at this point.

Basically, the current situation is like the beginning of Apocrypha but we're the Yggies trying to defend the Grail from the Association, who have sent Enforcers and elite magi to either activate the emergency backup or kill us all before we can finish summoning if at all possible. So Sonja should probably be more concerned with being ambushed by Enforcers before they finish than Ayondale himself showing up (though rest assured, he will soon enough, and the emergency backup will be activated by the end of the prologue).

@Turboshitter That makes sense. I myself have mostly been trying to keep things ambiguous in that vein, however there were some very small parts from my first post which would indicate that knowledge which I have now changed ^^

Then again, considering the minimalistic research Oly actually did on the War, I wouldn't be surprised if she thought they were gonna take the fight straight to his front door XD

[Grey]

@Turboshitter@vancexentan Am I cleared for lift off?

[Turboshitter]

@Turboshitter@vancexentan Am I cleared for lift off?

@Grey

Unless vance has anything to add, yeah. If we decide the numbers you discussed in your earlier post won't do, we can always talk it out while the RP progresses. There are no technical issues or inconsistencies with your sheet, so it should be accepted once we come to an agreement on the numbers. Which is good because I really want to get this ball rolling for everyone involved ^^'

[vancexentan]

@TurboshitterI'm fine with it as it is.

[Turboshitter]

@vancexentan Great! You have the go-ahead, @Grey. You too, @KawaiiKyouko.

EDIT: Also, here's a late-night rumination for y'all. Do you think there were ever any heated discussions about religion between Hundred-Faced Hassan, a Muslim assassin, and Kirei Kotomine, a devout Christian priest? xD

[vancexentan]

@TurboshitterHassans have a track record for not giving a shit about what their masters believe. Cursed Arm the most prominent of the loyal servants.

@Turboshitter
I've edited my posts to reflect the "not aware of the grail war" thing. Also, did you see the revision I posted for Archer's NPs?
