[OOC] Fate/Secondary Genesis

[USS Iowa]

Aaaaaaah, I've been looking for an Fate RP since FGO Part 1 ended! I'd really like a master spot!

I might need some help though ;n;

[Ever Green]

This is a lot of people going for Masters. Huh.

[Epsir]

@USS Iowa
Well we've got plenty to hand out, so consider the spot yours. I can help out with whatever, so no worries.

@Ever Green
Masters are really fun, at least in my opinion. It's a little more freeform and less guided than selecting a legend for a Servant, but if you enjoy reading about the occult at all there's just as many possibilities to wrap some historical magical craziness into a world where some of it is real.

[DrowsyPangolin]

Howdy everybody! I’m gonna try to post Rider’s Character sheet later tonight.

[ERode]

On second thought, I'll retract my reservation on Assassin and think up a Master instead. Guerilla Vlad will have to wait for another day.

[Epsir]

That makes us as even as we can get with an odd number, and totally even if someone is cool with me covering their Master. Huh. Not the situation I figured we'd be in.

[Sosuke]

Its fortuitous. Also @Epsir I sent you a mechanical outline of Archer if you could look over it when you get the time.

[Demonic Face]

Saber will be up soon! He's a canon, but a reclass. Brownie points if you can guess who~~

[Ever Green]

@ERode

I would be fine giving up my Master slot. In truth I'm not really a fan of making them, even if I understand the appeal.

[Epsir]

@Sosuke
Thanks for the heads up. I saw it and I've been reading over some stuff in relation to that, I'll be finishing up my reply in a second.

@Demonic Face
It's finally time to welcome Sasaki Kojirou to Grand Saber, I see.

[King Cosmos]

Saber will be up soon! He's a canon, but a reclass. Brownie points if you can guess who~~

@Demonic Face

I'm guessing Sasaki or Cu Chulainn.

[Demonic Face]

Alright, here's an abridged form of my Saber! Please don't judge until I get the rest of the sheet up ;)

totally not a joke Saber

Bravery
EotM (False)

God Hand
Nine Lives
Golden Sword

[ERode]

[King Cosmos]

[ERode]

fast af, but thats only cuz nasuverse magic is hell to think around

Normie Alert

_{"Eh? You're supposed to eat sushi with your fingers, you know?"}

Naoko Bushiro

20 y/o | 5'1 | 121 lbs

Elemental Affinity: Water
Alignment: Neutral Good
Origin: ???

Magic Circuits
Number: C
Quality: D

Magecraft/Abilities:
Reinforcement – Rather than augmenting individual parts of one’s body, Naoko envisions her entire body as a single, flexible ‘bag of water’, allowing her to gain an inhuman fluidity alongside the usual package of physical attributes being increased.

Memory Alteration – Basic magecraft used to turn ordinary human beings into amnesiacs.

Thought Acceleration – Thinking faster’s always good when you’re cramming for your final exams.

Transference of Consciousness – Naoko’s familiar is her pet dog. It’s nice to see things from his point of view. Definitely not the most inconspicuous spy though.

Other Abilities: As a modern woman, Naoko is definitely good at adulating, at least enough to the point that, outside of her current relationship status (and the whole Holy Grail War deal), she’s confident that her parents have nothing to worry about when it comes to her life. The 2nd Amendment, while it has its fair share of problems, is also something that she benefits from. Though not exactly someone with a small armory in her closet, Naoko’s packing a Sig Sauer P220 Compact for safety and other purposes. Mixed martial arts is also something she’s a fan of, but only as a casual fan that likes to see muscled, half-naked men get all sweaty as they grapple each other.

Though her culinary skills wouldn’t cause Gordon Ramsay’s clothes to explode, Naoko can dish out a lot of food out of her humble food truck when the lunch rush hour comes.

Mystic Codes: Her grandfather, the only one that particularly cared about the family’s past as mages, wrote in his will to pass his cane on to Naoko after he passed away. Well, he did end up passing away and now Naoko has a cane that’s APPARENTLY a mystic code…but she also has no idea what it does and doesn’t really want to know what it does either.

Weapons/ Other Belongings: A Sig Sauer P220 Compact, an IPhone X, and your photo ID’s all a girl needs to get around, right?

Personality: Warm and vivacious, Naoko Bushiro is a twenty-year old woman who likes to care for flowers and thinks that water is just as delicious as pop if you work hard before drinking it. Though she sometimes gets moody if things get too difficult, she’s a reliable individual who always manages to grin and bear it before she stumbles and crumbles. After all, she’s young, she’s got a job, and there’s no way in hell she’s going to let something like a battle to the death between mages stop her from fulfilling her dream of travelling all around the world. For Naoko, it isn’t a battle to grant her wish. It’s a battle to stay alive until she’s sure the winner’s not a jackass out to take over the world.

Short History: After the disappointment that was her father, the head of the Bushiro family was overjoyed to find that Naoko had any prospect of being a mage at all, and got her into magecraft early on. It was fun for the child, to do all that magical shit, after all, but the 21st century being what it was, it also felt sorta pointless as she grew older. Her grandfather, the only person in the once-illustrious Bushiro family, ended up getting Alzheimer’s and losing his marbles, while her father uprooted the family to relocate to America, where his company slotted him over to help out with their foreign branch.

She still continued on with magical self-training, of course, but it was less about becoming some mage with a title and more about honoring her grandfather’s last requests. Tradition, as opposed to progression, kept her circuits healthy and her small repertoire of magecraft sharp, while the rest of her life moved on, propelling Naoko through various stages of her life until she became a 20 year old high school dropout who owned a food truck in downtown Boston. With careful budgeting and hard work, Naoko was definitely on track for her personal goal of being able to AirBnB around glorious, romantic Europe when the Holy Grail War happened.

Well, it didn’t exactly happen, but when those visions came up and those letters came up and she had to do a busy Monday noon on zero sleep because of it all? When she started reading up on the Japan Holy Grail War and realized that like, 110% of all Masters involved were total dickbags?

Yeah, no, she didn’t give half a shit about what this new era of magic was going to be, not when technology was so much more convenient, but Naoko definitely wasn’t going to let Boston and her clientele burn in a lake of fire because some edgy mercenary bastard wanted to see how much of a Machiavellian villain he truly was.

So she busted out her grandpapi’s cane, remembered her training, started taking firearms lessons, and got to work.

[Demonic Face]

On a more serious note, here's my Saber candidate. I plan to reformat the sheet a bit if it's accepted to make it look prettier.

EDIT: Just rewording some of the flavor. This is a pretty old sheet, but it's a passion project of mine ;w;

Blue Saber

Name: Cu Chulainn, Child of Light, Hound of Ulster

Class: Saber

Gender: Male

Appearance: https://i.ibb.co/Nr0y4qq/image.png _{i know it's proto cu but it's hard finding a nice image of cu with armor so shhhh ;w;}

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Attribute: Sky

Personality:
As a Saber, Cu Chulainn acts with more impulse than his Lancer counterpart, taking the role of a fierce knight who would fight fiercely in order to seek glory and defend his country and Master. Like a guard dog, Saber fights with a ferocity that would liken him to a beast, willing to use everything at his disposal in battle, even if it is a losing one, as if he’s facing off against an entire army. Despite this, however, Saber still carries a similar disposition that he has as a Lancer outside of battle, though he leans more towards seeking excitement wherever it may be found. At the same time, however, he would not do so if it meant that it would severely harm his Master, or if the act itself went against his own honor. In other words, life is short, and one should spend the time that one has to accomplish as much as one could. To Saber, there is never enough glory to obtain.

Weapon: Sword, Shield, Armor

Parameters:

STR: A
CON: B
AGI: B
MGI: C
LCK: E

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: B
Class Skill of the Saber Class. Grants protection against magical effects, cancelling spells cast on the wielder altogether. Cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High Thaumaturgy, it is difficult for this Servant to be affected.

Riding: A
Class Skill of the Saber Class, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. All vehicles as well as all creatures aside from those of the Phantasmal and Divine rank can be used as mounts with expert proficiency. This rank is high enough to have aptitude in the Rider class.

Personal Skills:

Rune Magic: B
The possession and aptitude with the utilization of runes. Cu Chulainn has the capacity to use the 18 original Runes (Norse Runes), granted by his mentor Scáthach from his studies with her, appropriately using them to respond in different situations. By making proper use of this, powerful and varied effects are mastered. Other than attacks, this is mainly employed for effects corresponding to the Skills Magic Resistance, Clairvoyance, for raising parameters to Rank A, etc. All of these applications are merely temporary and he cannot employ multiples of those simultaneously. Cu Chulainn’s aptitude as a magus is nearly first-rate, and while he would normally see such talents as a hindrance, because this variation of Cu Chulainn is one who has faced off against an entire army, even runes are something he’s more open to utilize more often.

Protection from Arrows: B
The increased awareness and defense against ranged attacks. In Cu Chulainn’s case, it is blessing inherent from birth. It's said that it's possible for him to avoid any long range attack if he has made visual confirmation of his opponent, tracking down ranged weapons with his eyes and defend against them. He can deal with most projectiles even in conditions where the opponent cannot be visually seen. As long as the attack is a thrown type, he can avoid even Noble Phantasms, but he can't gain the effects of this protection with respect to wide range attack types where the attack range of the weapon explodes on impact, or a direct attack by a weapon that has simply long reach.

Knight’s Tactics: A
A method of combat where one grasps the flow of battle and instigates the opponent to make a mistake, removing the difference of strength between one’s self and the opponent. Simply put, a skill that invites a check failure for the opponent. A heightened sense of observation used to obtain victory. Cu Chulainn single handedly defended Ulster from the armies of Connacht, invoking the right of single combat and successfully facing off against many of Connacht’s champions. Because of this, he has a naturally high rank in this skill.

Divine Body of the Sun God: A+
A condition unique to Cu Chulainn’s existence as Ireland’s Child of Light, son of the Sun God Lugh, born with a myriad of blessings, and destined to find fame and glory in battle in exchange for a short life. Among his many gifts, his greatest was his Hero’s Light, granted to him due to his divine heritage. When in combat as the battle proceeds, he would glow as if he were bathed by the sun, itself. Should the odds continue to rise against him, however, he would only shine brilliantly against such opponents, the light surrounding him shining intensely enough to burn away at his opponent while invigorating himself. A skill that would represent Cu Chulainn’s legend as a likeness to a mighty flame that would burn out in a blaze of glory, should he also be dealt a lethal blow in combat, then his light would glow at its brightest, allowing him to deliver one last retaliating strike before finally fading away.

Noble Phantasms:

Cruaidin Catutchenn
Blazing Sword That Grants Certainty
Rank C+
Anti-Unit
Range: 1~2
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
The famed sword of Cu Chulainn, said to be a flawless blade that shines brightly like a torch, further enhanced by the runes inscribed within its blade. While it isn’t as famous of a weapon as Cu Chulainn’s Barbed Spear That Pierces With Death, it is still the blade of the Hound of Ulster used to perform many feats of strength and skill. The most famous of these feats was the splitting of the Lia Fail, one of the Four Great Treasures of the Tuatha De Danann. Sporting a passive effect not too far apart from the Gae Bolg, the blade adds a slight deviation to the World, creating a situation where the target of the Cruaidin is “easy to cut.” When the true name of this Noble Phantasm is invoked, however, the blade itself is engulfed by the Hero’s Light of Cu Chulainn, empowering its cutting power with its wielder’s glory and granting his next strike the ability to slice through even the strongest of defenses. It is a strike that is incapable of being resisted through any means, an intrinsic ability carried over by this blade’s true form mixed with the wielder’s heart-piercing technique.

Claidheamh Soluis
Shining Glaive That Brings Triumph
Rank: A+
Anti-Fortress
Range: 1~80
Maximum Number of Targets: 900
One of the Four Great Treasures of the Tuatha De Danann, it is a Holy Sword that once belonged to the god Nuada, holding the phenomenon of a Hero’s Weapon as it has been cited in many tales involving the hero completing a set of trials and slaying monstrous foes in order to obtain the blade, itself. Held in a similar light as the Sword of Promised Victory, the Claidheamh Soluis is considered to be a symbol of Ireland, its brilliance ignited by the hearts of the whole country. The true nature of Cu Chulainn’s blazing sword, while the Cruaidin Catutchenn is considered to be “The Claidheamh wielded by Cu Chulainn”, this Noble Phantasm would be the capabilities of the Claidheamh, itself. Due to its nature of a “sword that draws out heroes”, it is because of this sword’s nature that Cu Chulainn under the Saber class container manifests his Divinity in such an obscenely flashy manner.
When the true name of the Claidheamh Soluis is invoked, the entire sword begins to surge with a blinding flare as Cu Chulainn’s Hero’s Light is drawn into the blade. Empowered by the tales of glory and valor brought to the many heroes who have wielded the Claidheamh before and after, the intense light surrounding the blade would begin to take a more tangible shape. In the hands of Cu Chulainn, the greatest hero of the Ulster, the light would take the shape of a mighty spear, the crystallization of Cu Chulainn’s own fame as a hero. Despite this, however, the spear of light is only capable of being thrown once it’s created due to its sheer cost. When thrown, however, its destructive power is comparable to that of nuclear fission, releasing a wave of destruction centered on the point of impact. Aside from its extremely high cost, the use of this Noble Phantasm would leave Cu Chulainn in an exhausted state, unable to fully utilize his Hero’s Light for a significant amount of time. A star burns its brightest before it fades.

[Sosuke]

I want to run my Cu Roi now that I see the saber, but that particular Archer is a bit... Unfair to play against. Sadness that the Cu's can't hate each other in this particular War. Maybe Next time.

[Demonic Face]

@Sosuke

Cu Roi is really cool! It'd be interesting for the Cu's to fight each other once again! I could see the concern for why he'd be unfair to play against, though. Maybe if I did app [The Previous Saber] that I posted, it would be a possibility?

[Sosuke]

I have another Archer lined up, who I think is a bit more fair in the long run. I did however sent the Cu Roi sheet from another site to Epsir anyway for funzies.

[ERode]

Damn, reading Cu's sheet is like reading a Chinese kid's report card. XD
