[OOC] Fate/Crimson Dusk

[vancexentan]

The year is 2015 the next holy grail war was about to start once more with the church, and mage association preparing to take on new masters, and heroic spirits they were naively blinded by the fact that there were still people out there who were willing to exploit the grail. Many years have past since the Fuyuki Grail War, and with the loss of the greater grail more smaller grail wars had been propping up all over. A small faction in Poland known as the Grey Family have summoned several servants in violation of the Grail War's rules. It's intent is unknown but the Grey Family were known as mage supremacists, and it is speculated they wish to use the servants, and the grail in order to win over the world to their way of thinking. They have held fast in a castle forming battle strategies as the mage association prepares itself to deal with the threat.

Scouts sent to deal with threat were met with swift brutal retaliation and as such the only way to deal with this threat is to summon more servants to combat the 'Red' Faction. Met with fierce resistance initially the mages association has finally come to a conclusion that the threat in question must be dealt with. As such they had sent calls to several different magi be it allies of the Association, or mercenaries. The church has also proclaimed it's support for the Mage Associations 'Black' Faction as the brutality of Red has proven both disgusting, and an insult to the rules of the grail war. Hoping to wipe out the enemy faction the mages are gathering in London to summon their servants. The clocktower seeks to assist the mages in their attempts at destroying Red Faction before they arrive in Poland in order to defeat enemy summoners. Ruler has said to have already arrived in Poland to await what is to happen. Today the mages that have agreed to assist the Church, and the Mage Association have gathered today in the Clocktower to begin the operation to take down the family Grey.

Rules:
1. All Standard Roleplay Rules Apply. Power Playing, God Modding, and other assorted non-sense is not allowed.
2. No over powered servants. Demi-Gods, and servants such as Gilgamesh, Beserker Hercules, and folks of that nature are not allowed. I can't have unkillable servants that make everyone else pale in comparison. Ask before you pick a servant, and I'll help you with them if need be.
3. I must approve of your characters personally before allowing them into the roleplay. Characters not approved do not get noticed in the IC. Post characters in the OOC before approval.
4. PVP is allowed and will be taken up in the arena, or through collab however BOTH parties must agree to the battle. However we're on the same team I'm not sure why'd you want to maim each other.
5. Everyone starts with three command seals.
6. 2-3 Noble Phantasm limit on Servants whom are not canon. This is to prevent power playing, and shenanigans. I may be considerate of more than three if the servant warrants it. Remember in the show at least the noble phantasm is suppose to be a defining aspect of the legend of the servant.
7. I reserve the right as gm to reject characters for any basis. Be it for personal conduct, or roleplay reasons.

alright well let's see what comes along. The others so far have been making their CS's through pms, for one reason or another.

[King Cosmos]

@vancexentan What classes haven't been claimed/had CS's submitted for them yet?

[vancexentan]

@King Cosmos Currently Saber's has been submitted by Reflection. Its an archbishop of some sort. Cu has submitted Archer in the form of Tesla still going through revisions due to natural genius. and caster has been accepted out of the ooc. A man named SSW has submitted an app for a master but as of me writing this I have disregarded the character entirely as it is not fit for the rp until massive revisions are set. Indra has said they wanted Lancer in the Interest check but has made no move to make Diarmuid, or anyone else as of yet.

Master of: TBD
Command Seal Location: Left Hand
Origin: π
Appearance:

Personality: Ecstatic, obsessive and a little crazy.

Biography: A child prodigy born to a well-off British family, she was taught her family's Numerology magecraft from a young age. Their Numerology was mostly derived from an ancient Babylonian tradition rather than more contemporary methods derived from Kabbalah. It's primary function was to predict outcomes of current events and discern personality traits. However, more sinister sects could alter other people's temperament's, allowing mages to manipulate others from the shadows so that their visions of the future were realised. This was how the Dirac's were able to amass influence within the Mage Association.

Paula herself is particularly math obsessed, even having earned a Masters from a typical university. She tries to reduce everything to an equation, a delicate dance of numbers working off of each other. When controlling for every variable, math can be used to predict everything. This is why she covets the Grail as the Grail is a direct line to the Root of the World, the only thing that could possibly account for everything. It has been said that mathematics is the language of God, so surely it must be the true path to the Root?

Magecraft Section

School of Magecraft: Numerology (Chaldean), Elemental Magic (Earth)

Skills/Spells List:
*Snap (6): A magic bullet.
*Set (8): A trap spell that ties an enemy to the ground for a few seconds.
*Square (5): A spell that amplifies a spell's power. You could say it squares a spells output.
*Circle (6): A redirection spell. Hers is particularly effective due it being derived from her Origin. It can turn spells 180 degrees.
*Mean (3): A counterspell that scatters a spell over an area, diminishing its effects. In other words it regresses to the mean.
*Dry (2): An Earth elemental spell that separates solid from liquid,rendering things dry. She mostly uses this to maintain her stash of fancey chaulk!
*Granular Manipulation (3): A spell that allows for the manipulation of granular solids like sand, gravel or dust. She mostly uses this to keep her chaulkboards clean but it does have combat applications.
*Predict (1): A lengthy Numerological ritual that lets the caster see a possible outcome of events.

Amount of Magecraft Mana: B+

Other: likes pudding.

[vancexentan]

The character is a bit small bio wise but there's nothing wrong with it and I'll accept the character. @ItMeGritty You can talk with whoever you want to partner your character with.

[SSW]

Thinking of apping a canon Servant now.

Considering Mata Hari, Iskandar, Ozymandias, Drake, Cursed Arm, Asterios, either of the Onis, Caesar or Lu Bu. What do you think about those for viability?

(edit: oh Bradamante or Astolfo could be fun too.)

[vancexentan]

Mata Hari, Drake, and Caesar would likely be allowed. Iskander Cursed Arm, Asterios, the onis, and Lu Bu aren't. Asterios's maze is a pain in the ass to manage. Cursed Arm Instant kills. Ozy is too strong. Iskander is Grand Rider, and his phantasm is too strong if he wasn't. The onis both have skills that allow them to do ridiculous things in lore.

Astolfo is fair game relatively I may reconsider due to his shield, and flight being issues. I'd need to read up on Bradamante in the wiki if I am to consider her though from what I've seen she's probably a no.

[SSW]

Why's Lu Bu banned, out of curiosity? And would that ban be across all classes?

[vancexentan]

Because chronic backstab disorder, and the fact that his primary weapon doubles as multiple class weapons, and an anti-fortress noble phantasm.

[SSW]

It seems like there's a lot of stuff you're disallowing. Is there a complete banlist or a list of banned categories/capabilities? That would probably make it easier on people.

[vancexentan]

There's a whole section on the interest check that had this. Grand Servants, actual gods, Servants that instant kill, Servants that permanently disable, Character who abuse Imperial Privilege, Characters with overwhelmingly strong reality marbles, and characters with ridiculously high statistics, and or skills. Too name names: Romulus, Gilgamesh, Merlin, King Hassan, Richard The Lion Heart, Artoria, Perseus, Ozymandias, Iskander, Kiyohime (Dragons), Sigurd, Siegfried, Paracelsus, Gawain, Nero, Heracles, etc.

The Fate universe is unbalanced in structure because the authors can usually do what they want. I cannot in this setting. Players are controlling the masters, and characters. Therefore I am retroactively making sure characters are moderately balanced, nerfed slightly to allow them to be used, and making sure players cannot abuse a loop hole ruining the experience for the other players. This is a base line grail war. Meant to be a straight up brawl with trickery mixed in. This is not the roleplay for giants like Gilgamesh to be fighting Heracles, or Romulus.

Servants can be strong, or cunning without being overtly broken. Case in point Arash, Okita, Diarmuid, Leonidas, Mordred, Boudica, etc.

Other servants are on a case by case basis. There is a servant who is meant to be ranked highly on the enemy side but that is because he is to serve as the 'big boss' for the enemy team. However even he is nerfed in comparison to what he could be. The point is to not let fate shenanigans bullshit interfere with a story being told among people who aren't on the same page. I can't have Cu Chulainn chucking Gaebolg half way across the forest, and instantly murdering enemy rider before they can even defend themselves. And yes he can do that. Artoria blocked it, and then got time screwed back into a hit of which she only survived because she literally rolled a natural 20 with her luck stat. Artoria herself isn't allowed not because of her overwhelming power but because she has an incredibly strong base kit, and possible healing from avalon. She even saw Kojiro's phantasm, and herself dying just a few seconds before it hit her because of instinct.

[vancexentan]

@Indra Are you still in this?

[King Cosmos]

I'll be looking to make a Berserker then, based on what's available, I'll start making the sheet today and try to get it in before the end of the weekend.

[Floch]

Yes/My power is just dying in and out due to some past rain and storm here in the Philippines.

EDIT:
I'm not in. I won't be having power for quite a while.

[vancexentan]

Alright best of luck too you

Personality
Someone who easily confuses business and pleasure, and doesn't particularly like being in the spotlight. Tends to give encouragement like "You did your best," while healing wounded fighters. Doesn't expect a whole lot from others, but has an easy time laughing at his own failures. Since his failures often include having people die in his arms, this can get a little fucked up. Since he spends a lot of time around killing intent and death, he isn't troubled too easily. Likes to make conversation in any situation, but has no problem shutting up and standing by. Insists on pronouncing certain things wrong.

Biography
Born as Jaques Cabernet in the French countryside, he was the third son of a house of magi who had defected from the Mage's Association and were in hiding. Because the family fortune was running dry, Jaques' parents used their healing magecraft to work as doctors for criminals injured during their activities. Since he displayed powerful circuits and a penchant for learning the family arts, they began preparing him to be the family head over his siblings, readying themselves out of fear that the Clock Tower would soon find and annihilate them.

The Cabernet children were rarely let outside the house, since anyone they met could've been a scout for the Association. Thus, their social skills were mostly developed among each other during their early years. When he was nine, though, Jaques snuck out and played with some other children he met in the woods, just a single time. His father beat him quite badly for that. His parents told him that he, as the future head, was the only child that really mattered, and that they just wanted him to be the best. His brother and sister became resentful, and so they would often beat and bully him as well. No matter who struck him, Jaques would be expected to heal his own wounds.

When he was fifteen, Jaques snuck out of the house for the second time in his life. This time, he went further than the woods where the children played. He caught a plane to London, and before his family realized what was happening he had reported their hidden home to the Clock Tower Enforcers. His family was dealt with, but for coming forward Jaques was given the opportunity to cut ties with them and become a mage of the Association. He changed his name, and Jack Kabernett was given a formal education in simple things like familiars and boundary fields, as well as mainstream forms of healing.

Jack's healing was considered very high-quality by the English magi, and it became common for him to be present during duels of magecraft, standing by to save the loser, and sometimes winner, from death. Quarrelling mages loved to have a strong healer on hand, as it meant they didn't have to hold back at all, since Jack would be able to handle the healing even if they beat their opponent within an inch of their life. Jack engaged in duelling as well, once he got involved with that community, losing more fights than he won but still walking away with more money than he started. His cleverness and strength was rarely enough to stand up to the more establish duellists, but his reputation as a subpar fighter was outweighed by his reputation as a great healer. He would be called on as a 'safety net' when magi were working with risky spells or creatures, and even got the opportunity to teach a few classes on healing to young mages. Now, he's been called on to support the Masters and Servants of the Black Faction with his skills, and summon a Servant of his own.

Skills/Spells List
-Bodysmithing (10/day): Forge simple objects and structures from corpses.

He seems to be fine to me I'll accept the character. @ManyThings

[vancexentan]

Alright if no one has a problem with it I'll be picking up Lancer since no one else seems to be coming along to be a servant. If anyone has an issue with that please say so by the end of the day.
