[OOC] Fate/Eternum — Reboot

[VitaVitaAR]

@Rezod92: 1. You can play as all of them

2. Due to plot elements, Kingprotea is in a bit of a weird area right now.

[The Red Seelie]

The Twins

Name: Pollux & Castor - The Dioscuri
Class: Saber Avenger
Appearance: Gemini

---

Personality: A heroic spirit defined by two, Inseparable twins forever conjoined in the stars. However their personalities differ.

Castor: " Dioscuri, we have manifested. ……What, if it isn’t a human. Pathetic! Die!"
Castor, The one whom fell from gods, holds nothing but contempt for humanity, his hatred stemming from his fall resulted in his manifestation as an avenger. It is safe to say were it not for his sister, Castor alone would be a danger to his masters existence. As his hatred towards humanity is highly pronounced and he will make sure to remind others of this fact. Though even when he becomes attached, he will still refuse to admit that fact.

Pollux: "It’s fine if you don’t die. We the Dioscuri will become your power."
Pollux, the more reasonable of the two and the one who acts as the reigns to reel in Castor's wrath. she holds a level head on her shoulders even if her mentality is more like that of a divine spirit. She will fight alongside her Master lending her Sword, and as such Castor will give it his all as well, for his sisters sake.

Personal Skills

Twin God’s Essence: B
A skill that both possess. As ancient divine twins it should have possessed the power of A rank. However, from being affected by the growing legends within Greek Mythology as time passed the skill ended up at the power of B rank. In particular, it is thought that a major effect came from the legend of the brother Castor being "one without the blood of the Gods".

Stars of the Chief God: A
Displaying the way of Divine Twins through them existing together as one and becoming a constellation.

Guardians of Navigation: B
Calling forth protection for those who sail the waters. The existence of Divine Twins brings forth hope for those in danger and energizes them from their very souls. While seeming to only be a skill to help those navigating storms, it is actually a skill that also exemplifies the charisma of a strategist at it’s core.

Mana Burst (Ancient Light): A
A skill that displays their being the light which illuminates the ocean way “St. Elmo’s Fire”. In many ways similar to the subspecies magic that some Saint type servants possess, it is able to release magic in the form of strength increasing light.

Noble Phantasm

Name: DioscuresTyndaridae: Hymn of the Divine Twins
Rank: B
Type: Anti Unit
Appearance: "Hymn of the Twin Gods"!!
Effects:
The power of the sword master Pollux and the hatred Castor holds for losing his place among the Gods. A perfectly unified combination attack between the twins inseparable in the heavens. Having reached the realm of becoming a Noble Phantasm through the ultimate combination attack made possible through their incomparable trust and belief in one another. Upon release of their true name they are temporarily able to almost entirely regain the divinity of an ancient god, bringing their Noble Phantasm to the maximum rank possible. Calling forth the complete and utter overwhelming power of a Divine Spirit they are able to utilize it to release a flurry of attacks that pass through any and all physical or magical defenses and obstacles... more than likely completely destroying whatever they set their gaze on.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

@1Charak2: Twins okay, and as we've discussed elsewhere, you'll be siding in for the Momotaro that's been missing for three weeks. We'll start getting retcons in order soon enough.

[Rezod92]

Okay, I've been meaning to do this a LONG while ago, but my laptop "ran into a problem" and restarted itself and I've just been putting this off for too long. So, (hopefully) WITHOUT ADO:

Master

Name: Conner Griggs
Age: 17
Appearance: This boy lookin' fresh AF!
Personality: To those who don't know him, Conner would most likely come off as "lone wolf". He's quiet, reserved and mostly keeps to himself most of time. Hell, he'll rarely interact with anyone he doesn't know. And he DOES interact with others, he's polite and professional. However, this side of him is known to strangers and the public, in general. To his family and friends(and, by extension, Servants), he is a kind, friendly and intelligent young man. He is also known to be quite observant, seeing things people would usually either dismiss or ignore and noticing moments others have when they think no one is looking. This rather nosy quirk of his was often the source of joking and chagrin to those close to him, the phrase "Conner is always watching." was something he often heard from others throughout his life yet he always took it in stride. Not his fault people are careless about what they're doing around other folks. Conner has also been to be reliable and trustworthy, especially when trouble rears it's ugly head. He knows he's not the strongest or the best, but he's not afraid to do the right thing.
Abilites: As far as mages go, if you asked Conner where ranked among his peers, he'd tell you, "Solid mid-tier", and he wouldn't be lying. His magical circuits(both in terms of quality and number) are decent; Nothing spectacular, but not terrible either. Along his Water affinity and "hit and run" focused set of spells, Conner is quite capable of defending himself in a fight(As long as it's not against a Servant, of course). Additionally, he brings to the table some special equipment. Family heirlooms passed down from generation to generations: The Armis de Superbia.

• Armis de Superbia- A set of magically activated gauntlets and shin-guards. Through a ritual involving the Family Crest be placed on the recipient(in Conner's case, a tattoo in the shape a eagle in center of his chest), these magical artifacts become bound to the wearer and ONLY the wearer. When not activated, they appear as blue colored bracelets and anklets that one carries on their person at all times. However, with a uttering of his aria "Torrent, Course!", the seemingly harmless pieces of jewelry become active, transforming into protective azure colored gauntlets and shin-guards that encase the person's arms and legs in armor, enhancing their physical capabilities and performance. Due to it's nature, the durability and longevity of the armor depends on the the strength of the wearer's soul. Naturally, because of this, Conner is a close range fighting mage.

History: Conner is the eldest of six in the fourth generation of the Griggs magus family. Hailing from a long line engineers and inventors, upon discovering their aptitude for magecraft, the family quickly became acclimated in a world they didn't even think existed. Utilizing the mechanical know-how from their industrious past, the Griggs garnered a reputation of being of producing various magecraft tools and equipment, one of these being their closely-guarded Armis de Superbia. Being the most promising of his generation, Conner has come to Fusang City to learn and further develop his skills as an aspiring mage. At least....that's what his FAMILY wants for him, anyway. As for what Conner wants....well, that's up to HIM now, isn't it?

I'm gonna wait for this one to get approval before moving on to my Servants.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Rezod92: Okay, time to dissect the form.

The primary problems stem from the abilities and history, and if I'm going to be honest, they just don't add up to me.

See, the Mystic Codes that your proposed Master has don't actually seem all that out-of-place compared to a lot of the Mystic Codes that already exist (see: Fiore's wheelchair/Doctor Octopus gear, literally anything made by Atlas, etc.;), and even then that isn't actually 'magitechy' in any way. Even then, the stuff that'd qualify under a contemporary definition of 'magitech' is, again, Atlas... And Atlas isn't exactly known for letting their tech out. I don't see the 'tech' part.

That actually leads to my next point, though: due to the nature of the world that the RP takes place in, this entire backstory cannot function as it stands. The city is a multinational coalition and involves the Mage's Association, and there's a non-insignificant amount of overlap between magecraft and technology ALREADY present in the city.

Also, the MA isn't actually that neurotic about science and technology crossing; once again I will point to Atlas, but even Chaldea in /GO makes liberal use of magecraft combined with the knowledge and specialization of modern physicists and engineers. Aside from that, the utilization of technology and magecraft can also be seen in /Extra (though Spiritron hacking is WEIRD and, again, Atlas-related) but it's not like Enforcers were sent out to deal with the ones responsible. The MA is stuck-up and haughty, not fundamentalist.

In short: rejected; I'm happy to help refine the idea, but as it stands, it's a no-go.

[Rezod92]

@PKMNB0Y

Hmmmm....Okay. I understand. I can edit this out, and I would love to have some of your input to help in ironing this out. What do you propose?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Sure, all right. Where to start...

For starters, cut out all that stuff about 'heresy' and 'taboo'. Again, if you were doing something the MA didn't approve of, you'd have Enforcers at your neck, and Enforcers do not fuck around.

As for more usable advice... The integration of magecraft and technology is itself not unusable, just that creating something that we could outright call 'magitech' is not something that should be possible. To that end, I'd recommend re-examining the ways in which the two could be used together and concepts from magecraft integrated into technology (or vice versa). The MA can (and probably still will be) stuck-up and elitist about it, which sorta stays in line with the original concept, but that stuff was going to have to be reworked anyways.

[Rezod92]

So, in other words, you want me to:

A. Revise the history; Cut out the 'heresy' and 'taboo'.

B. Revise the abilities; Either keep it simple, come up with something entirely different or change it to something more tangible and would make sense in the setting.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Well, yeah, that's essentially what my statements are boiling down to. Logically, if the abilities change, then the backstory as it is now would have have to follow suit, after all.

You're free to pitch any new ideas you have, too.

[Rezod92]

The history part? That's an easy fix.

The abilities? ...I could just scrub the 'magitech' idea all together and just have the bracelets/gauntlets and anklets/shin-guards be magical family artifacts passed down from generation to generation. Would that work?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Yeah, that works, though having it only have been a single generation makes that a bit odd. Could always take the 'reverse-engineering' angle if you want, but that works, too.

[Rezod92]

Hmmm....

Alright, I think I got this. Give me a sec...

[Rezod92]

@PKMNB0Y

Okay, the master sheet has edited a fair bit. Is this good?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Rezod92: Hmm...

'Soul' is a bit of an odd thing to place here; I think if you side that out for something else (maybe relate it to their bloodline's Magic Crest or something?) it should be fine.

[Rezod92]

@PKMNB0Y

Edited again. How about now?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Rezod92: Fine now. Accepted.

[Rezod92]

Awesome! Now, I can move on to the Servant. I'm gonna do one, cause I feel like I won't be able to maintain two very well.

She really needs a break...

Medusa

Appearance: "She's a pretty snake."
Class: Rider
Personality: Silent, ever watchful and at times....slutry, Medusa never hesitates when it comes to protecting her Master from harm. Even if they treat her terribly, she is always loyal to her Master, willing to put her life on the line if it means ensuring her Master's safety. She's not one to start a conversation, preferring to hang back and observe others and their actions. Never one to act out on anger or instinct, Medusa is can be quite level-headed and rational, even in times of peril.
Stats:

• Strength: B
• Endurance: D
• Agility: A
• Mana: B
• Luck: E
• Noble Phantasm: A+

Class Skills:
Magic Resistance B: Any magical spell, offensive or defensive, ranked B and lower will be nullified.
Independent Action C: Enables Medusa to exist for a couple of days without needing the Master's mana to maintain her.
Riding A+: Any mount, whether it be man-made or animal, is easily mastered in Medusa's hands.
Divinity E-: One's mind, body and spirit are that which are beyond the human realm. Originally being a Earth Mother deity, Medusa is granted protection against mental spells, plus gaining some offensive power. At the rank of E-, though, it's not a lot.
Personal Skills:
Mystic Eyes A+: Medusa's legendary eyes of petrification. Will turn anyone within her sights to stone.... which is why she will only use this skill when absolutely necessary. It's also why she wears a blindfold in her battle uniform(or wear specially made glasses when she's in her casual outfit).
Monstrous Strength B: Increases her overall attack power. It should be very noted to the Master that Medusa MUST be careful to not overtax this particular skill....lest her worst fears be made real and she transforms into her more destructive self...Gorgon.
Blood Fort Andromeda: Blood Temple B: Usually a skill that requires the blood sacrifice of a large group of unfortunate victims, Medusa instead will use a percentage of her Master's mana pool to boost her combat prowess and performance. Due to the rank and demand of this skill, she will use this sparsely.
Noble Phantasm:

• Name: Bellerophon (Bridle of Chivalry)
• Rank: A+
• Type: Anti-Army
• Appearance: "Look at this horse! This horse is amazing!"
• Effects: Using her own blood as a catalyst, Medusa summons the winged horse of legend, Pegasus, to her side to serve as her mount. On her own, she is already a fast and nimble combatant, but when paired with her beloved child, her speed becomes nearly godlike, as well as powerful. This Noble Phantasm can easily devastate a large group of enemies. Pegasus can also serve as a means of transportation for herself and her Master, though she tries not to put that much burden on her dear mount.

Alignment: Chaotic Good (She was NEVER evil to begin with)
Changes: Using the F/GO version of her and her skills, as well as making it so she isn't THAT much of a danger to the general public.

Aaaaaand done. Waiting for approval.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Rezod92: Ah...

Hm. I suppose I forgot pseudo-Servants on the list of ones that are NG. That's a my bad on my part, but I didn't think anyone would try to sign up with one.

I'll go edit that bit in later, but uh... Yeah, sorry, Taiga is a no. They're just too weird given that the actual cast of SN is alive and well during the era this RP takes place during, so yeah.

[Rezod92]

IS EVERY POST I MAKE CONSIDERED TOO WIERD HERE!?

For real though, that's a bummer. Alright, I'll come up with someone else.

[Rezod92]

@PKMNB0Y

Servant sheet changed entirely. Will this one do?
