[OOC] Winds of Change: A Re:Creators-Inspired Multiverse RP

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Grey Star: Maou should be fine, since the nuances behind his abilities mean he isn't going to be transforming on a dime. Accepted.

[SaveusY2J]

I hope no one minds me taking the third Fate servant

Rider of Black

Name
Astolfo

Gender
Male

Appearance
It's a trap!

Personality

The most outgoing, optimistic and handsome of Charlemagne's 12 paladins, He looovvveesss to talk and will speak to anyone around him even if they don't want to and he will continue a conversation even if it reaches awkward territory, he doesn't mean to make anyone uncomfortable he just enjoys speaking a bit too much and he lacks the common sense to tell if someone is uncomfortable. In spite of that though Astolfo is a very kind-hearted person anything rude he may say or do is completely accidental, and he goes to extreme lengths just to make anyone around him happy.

Though even though he's the kindest and probably the best looking of the 12 paladins he's often considered one of the weakest losing in many riding tournaments and is often defeated by others, however despite this reputation he doesn't seem to care about losing, he doesn't see losing as a blunder, but rather as a learning experience something to help him grow stronger. That's the true testament to how optimistic Astolfo is, he doesn't care how often he loses as long as he can pick himself back up he'll keep giving it his all, and despite being one of the weakest he's one of the most well-known due to his numerous adventures.

Brief History
As mentioned before Astolfo is one of Charlemagne's 12 legendary paladins and the son of an English king. He was the cousin of Roland, another one of the paladins who he shared a close bond with, one of his legends says that when Roland was depressed Astolfo would dress up as a woman to cheer him up. He kept the bows and ribbons in his hair as proof of the bond him and Roland share, and he often remains dressed as a girl due to the fact he likes cute things. He's been on numerous adventures all across the world, getting into a lot of mischief, gaining many artifacts for use in his future battles, and making a name for himself. His legend is so popular that he became one of the heroic spirits that were used during the Great Grail War.

Universe of Origin
Fate/, Nasuverse

Equipment
Chainmail and sword- His basic battle equipment, around the waist of his chainmail is a belt where he stores some of the artifacts he's gained during his escapades

Trap of Argalia- A shining, golden, ornate lance, which Astolfo "borrowed" from another knight, it was mainly used during jousting tourneys where its ability to pierce through any armor really shined. Any wound caused by the lance won't prove to be fatal unless he hits you in the face or directly in the heart or something. Another ability of the lance is if it hits below the knee it returns that part of the body (usually the bottom leg) back to spirit form, basically you'll lose a leg if he manages to hit you there. This effect only applies to servants or any other magical creature, as humans do not have a spiritual form.
(Tl;dr version: A magic lance which will pierce through most armor knocking you back, but not cutting you deeply, but if it hits below the knee you can lose a leg)

Hippogriff- A creature which shouldn't normally exist, it's a cross between a griffin and a horse and has been Astolfo's trusted mount through many adventures.

Abilities
La Black Luna- Astolfo's most extreme noble phantasm, it's the hunting horn he wears on his waist and was granted to him by a witch named Logistilla. When played it will turn any weak enemy, in a 1-50 meter radius, to dust, however, against normal humans and stronger enemies the only effect it would have is temporarily impairing the person's hearing.

So many Fate characters

Not a bad thing. Just interesting

@Crimson Raven

My excuse at least is that since they're finally animating the best route (something I've waited over a decade for) the Fate/ hype train is currently an unstoppable juggernaut. :D

[KoL]

My thoughts on Fate are more or less the same as @Rin's. As someone that has watched the original Deen/Stay Night, as well as played the VN (a very uphill battle for one that didn't even knew what VNs were before stumbling on Fate), I'm really glad to finally see HF get animated.

The oversaturation of Fate stuff isn't as pleasant as a I thought it would be, though. To the point that I don't even feel like going out of my way to watch Apocrypha, despite that being my second favorite entry on the franchise, right besides Extra, before it goes up on Netflix officially.

But yeah, finally getting the best route ever animated... that's going to be awesome.

[VitaVitaAR]

The Nasuverse, and Fate in particular, is one of my favorite franchises overall(the original VN being one of my favorite pieces of media ever with /zero and UBW... also being some of my favorite pieces of media ever).

... I really like Fate. Especially right now my Fate hype train is super... hype... y.

[Rin]

@VitaVitaARExcept this time you're cheating on your waifu with her own child. How shameful.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Rin: I'm playing Arturia already! Soon enough I'll be playing her in two RPs!

[Dezuel]

Changed Emilio's character sheet to include a sign of how fast, tough and strong he is physically.

Adding replacement for Valgarv right now.

My Hider

Name: Menomaru
Gender: Male
Appearance:


Personality: Menomaru is a highly intelligent, cautious, shrewd and manipulating moth-demon. He is extremely confident in his abilities and acts as if he would be a noble. He thus speaks in good manners even to his enemies.
He looks slightly down on humans however like most demons, but in a sense also finds them odd. Especially their persistant struggling to live and determination to stop him.

Brief History:

Memomaru is a villain in the universe of Inuyasha. He is a moth-demon whom was sealed away (alongside the demonic remains of his father) long ago by Inuyasha's father.

He however was awakened from his state by a Sacred Jewel shard which the main characters accidently let loose on the world.
Despite having been awakened by said Jewel Shard, Menomaru sees no need for using said shard to further enhance his powers. Believing he has power enough without it.

Menomaru's ambitions involve absorbing his now dead father's demonic power and use that in order to conquer the world.

Universe of Origin: Inuyasha: OVA 1

Equipment:

- Ornate armor and cape.
- Sword
- Sacred jewel shard: Menomaru may use his own blood to taint it and use it to empower a person or demon whose flesh it be inserted within.

Abilities:

- Flight: Able to hover and fly through the air.
- Dissipated flight: Memomaru transforms into a stream of particles and carries at least one person with him.
- Strength: Strong enough to send the weapon of the main character out of his hands.
- Speed: Menomaru is able to easily dodge arrows being shot at him and dodge sword-swings really well. He jumps forwards quickly on the ground, as if light as a feather.
- Expert swordsman: He is able to disarm the main character Inuyasha easily while the latter wields a powerful sword. Aswell as use his own sword to block the Wind Scar. Which is a strong wind based attack used by Inuyasha.
- Natural manipulation: He has the ability to control roots to entange people in them. May also cause a light gust of wind around him.
- Teleportation: May appear in a cluster of flying demon moths after said moths have gathered together. After he appears the moths disperse
- Insect control: He may command a high amount of demon moths, using them to teleport or spy with, being able to form a telepathic link with them to see through their eyes, or disorient his opponents with their poisonous powder,
- Insect 'breath': Menomaru opens his mouth and sends out a small group of moths to blind an opponent with poisonous powder.

Waiting for go on two remaining characters before adding all to Character tab.

Edit: Also did a fix on Alberich. I had forgotten a very important fact about his sword.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Dezuel: The sword changes do not change my own statement on 'accepted'. The clarity changes are also good enough, so accepted.
And the new form... Yeah, I don't see any problems. Also accepted.

@SaveusY2J: You're talking in terms of Servants and HP, which doesn't necessarily work for the purposes of this RP. Like... Stabbing a normal person (or, well, a being not of spiritual/magical origin) with Trap of Argalia wouldn't take out the entire leg, now would it? That sorta argument.

[KoL]

I'll post sometime this week, by the way.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Dezuel: Hey, yo, quick request: Could you not use that font color for Menomaru's dialogue? Dark purple on this background is nigh impossible to read unless people highlight the text (I almost guarantee you I can't read that on mobile). Thanks.

@PKMNB0Y

Unless your mobile has a godly contrast it's really nearly impossible to read. Usually, the colors of the 1st row or any other pastel tones in general work much better in the Guild than they should in a white background page.

[Dezuel]

@PKMNB0Y

Allright, didn't know it was that bad on mobiles. I shall keep it vanilla white next.

[Crimson Raven]

My exposure to Fate/ was in the order of Zero then Stay Night, which from what I have heard is a horrible way to start the series.

In my defense, they were both on Netflix. With all this hype I've been considering getting into the Nasuverse. I'm not entirely sure where to begin though. I've heard and read many differing opinions on it.

Edit: It also doesn't help that much of it has not been officially localized, and is out of reach for me

@Crimson Raven

If you mean F/SN UBW (Unlimited Budget Blade Works), that's really not the best way to understand anything at all. Also, Zero is riddled with spoilers that assume that you know the content in the proper order to appreciate them in their fullness (*eyes Zouken's rape worms and poor Sakura*).

The real best way to understand anything at all would be watching the original anime adaptation of F/SN, by DEEN. It may not be the best anime ever, but it lays the groundwork of the franchise properly, whereas UBW assumes that you are already a Fate fan and knows what happened in the Fate route, which the ufotable anime doesn't reference at all. You can completely ignore DEEN's UBW movie, though. It's not 100% bad but the ufotable series excels it in every way possible simply for having more time to work with, and... *cough*money*cough*.

Beginning with Zero and the UBW simply makes for a terrible entry on Fate as a whole because you are picking scraps of stories that you understand nothing about yet.

I would recommend the VN for the true Fate experience, but most people don't deserve to suffer the pains of clearing it (*eyes the bunch of nonsensical bad ends that punish you for having common sense*). So, steerign away from it might be for the best for anyone who's not an old, hardcore TM fan.

[Rin]

@Crimson RavenIgnore KoL, READ THE DAMN ORIGINAL VISUAL NOVEL >:O

[Raineh Daze]

You don't need to play the VN, someone did a Let's Play of it. Every route, bad end, and Tiger Dojo.

Feel free to ignore the Deen adaptation. It's serviceable but hey, the VN is right there. And you're going to need to read the VN stuff anyway as they won't finish animating Heavens Feel for ages.

[Rin]

they won't finish animating Heavens Feel for ages.

@Raineh Daze

Why do you hurt me like this.

[Crimson Raven]

You see, these are the exact archtype of advice I see. lol

1. Watch Deen's

2. Read VN

3. Watch Someone else read VN

So, any lets player recommendations? I'm not too familiar with any outside of Game Grumps >:)

And yeah, it was UBW
