Just change his ME to D+, okay? xD

[VitaVitaAR]

@Cojemo: Last call. If you don't respond I will have to reopen the Assassin of Black slot. I'm sorry but I really do want to get this RP going at the end of the week.

[Argonaut]

@Raineh Daze Cool. now follows the bane of my existence: creating a master.

[Flood]

Ah hello there. I might be jumping the gun a little bit, but it looks like Assassin of Black might be open?

Assassin of Black

Name: Okada Izou

Class: Assassin

Appearance: "I am a manslayer..."

Personality: A swordsman above all others, Okada Izou is what could only be described as a "once in a lifetime genius". He dedicated himself to the blade and cold hard cash above all else. He's a man who is true to his won desires above all else, embracing his base desires with no hesitation. Gambling, alcohol, women, but above all else, Okada Izou loves killing. He relishes his title of Manslayer and will have no problems obeying his Master so long as he's allowed to kill. He mocks samurai and their codes of honor, all that matters is the kill in the end.

Alignment: "I'm a manslayer, I kill whoever I'm told to kill." (Neutral Evil)

Faction: Black Team/Ainsworths

---

Stats:

Strength: C+
Endurance: C
Agility: A
Mana: E
Luck: E
Noble Phantasm: C

---

Class Skills:

- Presence Concealment B: Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. It is possible to disappear completely and become nearly impossible to be detected. The rank of Presence Concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack.

Personal Skills:

- Manslayer A: A practical form of swordplay focused on nothing but victory, unsuited for one whose soul seeks out the truth of the blade. Yet that is why it is strong, and so brittle. Against human targets, or even partially human targets, Okada Izou's blade is considered the most deadly. Any wound inflicted by Okada takes significantly longer to heal, resulting in real consequences should a Servant take damage from Okada in battle.

- Eye of the Mind (False) B: This is a natural talent to foresee/sense and avoid danger on the basis of an innate 6th sense, intuition, or prescience. The accuracy of this instinct can be augmented by experience. The ability also grants an effect of offering resistance against penalties caused by visual obstructions.

-One with the Sword, as Swift and Nimble as a Falcon A: These words were used to describe Izou's sword when he was still seeking knowledge in dojos during the Edo period. As a heroic spirit, this ideology has evolved to become his entire body. Every inch of his body can be compared to a sword, as even a finger can slice through bone. Essentially making his whole body the lethal weapon he wanted to be in life.

---

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Shimatsuken: Settlement Sword
Rank: -
Type: Anti-Unit
Appearance: A plain katana.
Effects: Manslayer Izou's heretic blade. A noble phantasm that allows him to reproduce any sword technique he's seen before as his own. When summoned, this includes the techniques he remembers from his life, but even after that, by seeing new techniques, it is possible to enhance this even further.
However, what he can reproduce is limited to swordplay, and only anti-unit skills at that. Those whose techniques depend solely on the characteristics of their noble phantasm may prove impossible to reproduce.

[VitaVitaAR]

@floodtalon: I was just about to open it up, honestly.

I don't think I see any problems, but it's pretty late for me and I'd like to see what both of my co-GMs think before making a final decision. ^^;

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@floodtalon: Chiming in real quick 'cuz it's also late here.

Statline got too many buffs. His base is C D B E E C, and there's no way you get to A B A+ E E C from staging alone. It's not THAT big a buff; if anything, tune the statline to something like C+ D A E E C or something. His skills and NP make up for the difference anyhow.

Else, I think we're okay? We'll see what my counterpart has to say later.

[Flood]

@PKMNB0Y

Any chance we could buff Endurance to at least C? Otherwise I have no problems with the stats spread.

[Scallop]

Berserker of El Dorado

Name: Penthesilea

Class: Berserker

Appearance: "Finally...it's here"

Personality:

When she is not being engulfed but the anger and desire for revenge towards Achilles, she is a stoic and calm female warrior. She is severely brutal against her enemies. Even if one is an ally, she would rage upon them if they were to treat her as a women. Especially taboo are the words “beautiful” and “lovely” due to the trauma she has. A battle frenzy whose identity is her strength as a warrior. Due to being a queen, she is fundamentally arrogant. She can usually be found to hold civil conversations but once certain words are said rage and anger will take over.

Any mention of Achilles or the Greek heroes he fought with will send her into a blind rage and she will begin screaming and lashing out if it escalates any further. She is a valiant and proud warrior queen with keen instincts and startegic knowledge on the battlefield and before the rage consumes her some would say she is a normal sane person. But when the rage consumes her, she becomes more animal than beautiful woman.

She refuses to become her older self, feeling herself unworthy of the elegance and grace that she had become, only believing she is worth the rage filled version of herself that she was.

Stats:
Strength: A
Endurance: B
Agility: C
Mana: A
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills:

Mad Enhancement EX - Fueled by her rage of Achilles and the heroes that fought alongside him, her madness can usually be concealed but any mention of them or her beauty can set her off into a mindless rage.

Divinity B - Clad in a divine aura for being one of Artemis' virgins and for being the daughter of Ares the war god.

Personal Skills:

Charisma B - Having B Rank in this Skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its King/Queen. The morale of military forces she commands is extremely high.

Golden Rule (Beauty) A - No matter how she grows up, she will show a predestined growth into an existence endowed with a perfect beauty like that of a goddess’s. At the time of the Trojan War, it is said that she possesses a beauty that can only mistake her for a goddess, this beauty being blinding to opponents and compliments of the beauty sending her into rages.

Howl of the War God A+ - The yell will grant bravery to her allies whom stand together as warriors, as if they were lead by the God of War. It is said that during the Trojan War, the war cry of the Amazoness forces caused their opponents to violently tremble.
In the case where before her are heroes of Greek Mythology (or if she feels their scent holds a similar origin), her hatred will surge—Her howl will not stop until their lives are wiped out.

Noble Phantasm:
Name: Outrage Amazon: A Hero to Die on My Rage
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Effects: With the activation of this Noble Phantasm, all reason is lost. Her sleeping anger and need for vengeance from the hero Achilles, the blood of Ares and the fire of wars that resound inside her. With it's activation she unleashes all of them. Reason goes out the window and she becomes an animal of a person, rage fueling her as she charges forward with everything she has, violently ripping apart and attacking her opponent who in this moment, she sees as Achilles. The one she has to destroy. The one she failed to destroy. In this state she becomes almost unstoppable and until the Noble Phantasm wears off, all she will want is to destroy her target.

Alignment: Lawful Good

Faction: Red Team

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@floodtalon: Okay, it's daytime and I am distinctly less tired. Having consulted with the others, this is the conclusion we've come to:

A final statline of C+ C A E E C is fine on our end.

The bigger point of contention was how the Manslayer skill was set up. I can see that you're trying to justify how his NP appears to work in-game, but we can also chalk that up just as easily to a technique that the dude knew. Super damage to a Servant or gibbing a Master on the spot with a nick is a bit absurd.
An alternative to setting this up is that wounds dealt by Izou take longer to heal (especially given how Servants have a knack to just shrug off chip damage after a while out of combat). If the wounds stick, then he has more utility rather than a built-in Zabaniya as a skill, which could also lead to more interesting situations in the long run.

(Dude has a habit of biting off more than he can chew, anyhow.)

Think that's about it, though. The others will say if there's anything left to be ironed out.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Scallop: Accepted.

[Flood]

@PKMNB0Y

So what you're suggesting is that instead of just shrugging off wounds at the end of a battle, there would be a real possibility for Servants to actually bleed out if they don't get properly healed? Kinda like Diarmuid's Gae Buidhe? If that's the case I see no problems.

[Raineh Daze]

Not bleeding out. They're still Servants.

Normally, though, just waiting overnight is sufficient to deal with any injuries they have and even nearly cutting cut in half by Saber is something even EMIYA can heal in a few days; so long as their Master can supply mana they'll heal. This would mean the skill inflicts injuries that can't be ignored so easily. It's still an advantage if it keeps a Servant at a disadvantage from a minor wound for longer or a major one takes them out.

[Flood]

Alright, well I think I've changed everything I need to then.

Are You Ready to Rock

Name: Jeremiah Frain

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality: Jeremiah is very much a keen learner. Always trying his best to get involved with as much as he can and really get himself through different walks of life. Being almost stupidly fearless in some cases, having on multiple times done things that in hindsight could've ended horrifically. Trying his best, Jeremiah can be found trying to please as much people that he admires as much as he can, always offering his services to those that can't usually afford such fine craftsmanship and this leads him to be quite the naive fellow at some points.

For all his flaws, Jeremiah makes up for it with his innate love for his golems above all else. Putting his life into creating them, he ahs faced many set backs that have caused him to have a slight hatred for those that don't appreciate the finest parts of magecraft. Hence his slight hatred for the mages association. A misguided fool, Jeremiah does what he believes to be good for everyone but in the end all he cares about is perfecting his craft and making some new friends. He's all smiles and joy until his golems are insulted, at what point he becomes volatile and devious.

Skills: Jeremiah is an adept conversationalist and persuader, always using a silver tongue to try and lie his way out of unfortunate situations and convince others to help him. Going well with his crafting, he possesses a rare skill of being able to recognise how precious most resources are and does well to preserve anything he deems worthy of polishing and using. He's a keen marksman but still not the best, only using guns like a pistol or revolver, nothing stupendous for a grail war of this magnitude. He's also a good tailor but that's unrelated.

Abilities: Jeremiah's magecraft is reliant on one area, and that is golem crafting. He has experimented in some scrying and illusionary, which he can perform to a certain extent, but when it comes to golem crafting he carries the entire Frain heritage of their golem making. He can produce golems of impressive stature and plenty of upgrades with a lot of development time and research, with the right materials able to make them have slight sentience and carry heavy armour and improvised weaponry atop them. He keeps a couple specialised golems around to keep him company, often producing more weaker and flimsier models to do the dirty work. All his creations contain wraiths that he binds to the creations, having to collect as much wraiths as he can to be able to have a full golem army roaming about.

Brief Backstory: Born into a declining family, Jeremiah brought with him impressive magical circuits for the Frain family. Quickly bringing him up with the prospects of success given to him with a silver spoon, he began delving into the craft of golems from such a young age. Experiencing more relationships with golems than his family due to their absent nature always off on trips, he began to respect them as people, people he could upgrade and improve and even create life for these stone and steel beauties.

Having grown old enoguh to make a name for himself, he moved out and began to delve further into the study of perfecting his creations, always putting more and more thought into what materials could make them even more impressive than they were before. He moved around, around this time meeting the Ainsworths and other families that were interested in his arts.

During this time, some families that wanted him to work for them yet he refused began to try to make him work for them by forth. In retaliation to this, Jeremiah began to realise that they did not treasure the beauty of golems and began to train himself in a more offensive manner, training with guns and some offensive magic to defend himself.

After a few ventures, he finally agreed to the Ainsworth's offer, travelling out to fight for their side, alongside his magnificent creations.

Presenting... The best queen!

Rider of Black

"I am Medb, Queen Medb! Are you the mighty warrior, the one who will fight and die for me?"

• Name: Queen Medb
• Class: Rider
• Appearance: "I am the Queen, the Eternal Lady!" Bonus: My Dear Fluffy Cloak.
• Personality: Innocent and pure, yet wicked and lustful. Despite how contradictary it may seem, both are her true face; she purely devotes herself to lust, and commits wicked, sinful deeds with a look of pure innocence. In her mind, all things belong to the queen; land, treasure, men... If the queen desires something, she will simply take it, for in her mind it is rightfully hers to begin with. The only thing that matches her insatiable lust for both carnal and material delights is her unstoppable ego; Medb truly believes herself to be the center of the world, and that her royal authority extends to all. It is not only her duty to dominate and control others, but it is her divine right to do so and all who oppose this right should be crushed beneath her iron heel until they beg to be hers. As a mighty warrior queen, she is intensely attracted to great heroes and strong, powerful men (and occasionally women); nothing makes her feel more alive then making them squirm beneath her and submit to her with both mind and body. Despite her great pride and sheer arrogance, or maybe even because of it, Medb is kind of a sore loser. She is prone to throwing tantrums and acting purely out of spite towards those who defy her, those who wrong her, those who violate her... To her, they deserve nothing less than to be utterly dominated by the queen.

  • Golden Rule (Body): A
  • Discipline of the Queen: A
  • Siren Song: C
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Chariot My Love: My Dear Iron Chariot
  • Rank: B+
  • Type: Anti-Army
  • Appearance: "All power is my power! The authority of government! The steel of oppression! The terror of domination!"
  • Effects: Both a mighty chariot and a physical embodiment of the queen's authority. Pulled by Finnbennach and Donn Cúailnge, the two legendary bulls that were the center of the Táin Bó Cúailnge, it represents the royal authority of a lord, the iron that binds her people, and the fear that makes them shake. The two bulls are capable of flight, and their iron-like hooves and piercing horns crush all who dare to oppose Medb. The true power of the chariot, however, makes itself known when a mighty warrior catches the queen's fancy. When targeted against them, it draws them into a Reality Marble formed from her lust and will to dominate, an inescapable love nest from which freedom is near-impossible until she is fully satisfied. It is notably especially effective against males.
  
  
  • Name: Fergus My Love: My Dear Rainbow Sword
  • Rank: A+
  • Type: Anti-Army
  • Appearance: Modified to be sleeker and more elegant, as to her own personal tastes.
  • Effects: Caladbolg, the legendary sword of Fergus mac Roich, one of Medb's many lovers. According to legend, this mighty sword was said to be able to slice the tops off mountains and leave utter devastation in its wake. An exceptionally powerful weapon that Queen Medb is able to borrow. With a swing, she releases a trail of rainbow-like light, annihilating all who stand before her.
  
  
  • Name: Conchobar My Love: My Dear Future Vision
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: N/A
  • Effects: The power of future vision "borrowed" from Medb's first husband, the Ulster King Conchobar. Of course, due to how much she despised Conchobar, "borrowed" isn't exactly the right word; "seized by royal authority" is more accurate, but really it's just been stolen by the Queen of Connacht. By focusing her mind, she is able to see glimpses of the near future, allowing her to plan out her actions accordingly and react to otherwise unpredictable events. However, this requires her to intentionally focus, and thus she can still be taken by surprise if she feels no real need to glimpse the future. Due to her arrogance, she has a tendency to forget to use this Noble Phantasm until things get serious.
  
  
  • Name: My Red Mead: My Dear Honey Alcohol
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Anti-Army
  • Appearance: "Fufufu~ I guess I'm adored anywhere I go."
  • Effects: A golden mead infused with the queen's legendary charm. Those who she offers it to feel a strong compellment to drink it, and once it has passed their lips they belong to her. Serving the queen, loving the queen, these are the only thoughts that can pass through their minds, making them little more than slaves to her will. To them, the queen is their whole world, and it takes a phenomenally strong will to fight their new obsession with her.

[Reflection]

So, since you guys still have no Lancer. I still have that sheet for Finn McCool on offer. Or because Black Team has Mebd and Cu is on Red, I could just make a sheet for Ferdiad.

Also I'd probably just app Kotomine as a Red Team Master.
