[OOC] Fate/Grand Jackpot - Gamble For Humanity [DISCONTINUED]

[SSW]

It does sound fun. Would that be moving the whole full body thing to the mystic code section basically?

[Enkryption]

@SSW

Pretty much, yeah.

[Enkryption]

@Silverstein

Ready to transfer your CS over here?

[SSW]

Ok, both sheets have the edits up, tell me if that's the sort of thing you had in mind for the mystic eye.

@SSW

Works for me. It's still carrying enough vulnerability to warrant being useable three times. I like it, and her concept. All I need now is both sheets in one post and we're good to go.

[Silverstein]

@Enkryption My apologize for the delay, i was swamped last week. Nevertheless here is my odd pairing of servant and master.

The Druid Thief of Sherwood Forest

Robin Hood

"Gambling eh? come now, you're better than that master.. But if you insist on pursuing this slippery slope, may i suggest an alternative source rather than to cripple our own pockets.. like stealing from the rich perhaps?"

History

You know the same old telling of the legend of Robin hood and his merry men. The chivalrous thief who opposes the tyrannical sheriff of Nottingham. A faceless hero of the masses who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. The version that you knew growing up.

This robin hood is one of the many who wears the mantle. The one who has a wandering druid priest for a father and who grew up within the depths of Sherwood forest, living like a hermit without his merry bandits. He got betrayed after he saved the townspeople from their oppressors. He was depicted as a hero, a criminal, and a guardian of the woods.

Class Skills

Magic Resistance: D
Invalidates single action magic use. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that wards off magical energy.

Independent Action: A
The ability to act independently for a period even if magic energy supply from the Master is severed.
At A rank, even if he loses his Master he can stay materialized for a period of 1 week.

Personal Skills

Subversive Activities: A

The ability to reduce enemy's war potential in the preliminary stage before going to battle. An expert of traps. With this skill at A rank, it is possible to disable close to 60 percent of the enemy forces before they advance.

Golden Rule: E
Indicating the fate of how much wealth follows him around in life. He himself was constantly poor, but he seemed to never really have it bad financially. Maybe it was due to him being thorough in self restraint, or maybe he was simply good at managing his expenses. Or maybe because he was receiving tributes from a girl in town…. The truth is laid within the deep forest.

Noble Phantasm

Yew Bow , Bow of Prayer
"Tree of burial, hone your fangs."

Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
Range: 4~10
Maximum target: 1 individual

A bow created from the yew tree located in the forest where he had based himself during his live.
A yew tree is considered by the Celts and Norsemen as a type of holy tree. The act of making a bow out of a yew tree has the significance of the ritual on “becoming one with the forest”. To add, yew tree is also considered to be the tree that leads to the underworld.
It holds the ability to instantaneously amplify and discharge the impurities (poison and disease) within the target’s inside; should the target carries poison with him/her, it would result in the poison exploding like gunpowder.
Invoking it in the case of the opponent already afflicted with a poisoned status would result in the poison being strengthened (damage increase plus and turn extension).
Other than its effect as a normal weapon, by piercing the ground as an origin point with an arrow it is also possible to turn the surroundings into a poisoned space dyed with yew poison.

No Face May King: Faceless King

Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
Range: 1
Maximum target: 1 individual

This is Green Archer’s hidden Noble Phantasm. Robin Hood was established as an incarnation of nature, and treated as such and celebrated in the May Day festival which succeeded the traditional Celt Beltane Festival (a spring festival).

In the center of the village there are pillars erected called May Poles, and the villagers gather around them and dance the night away. In the May Day festival girls and boys who will soon be of adult age dress up as “May Queens” and “May Kings.”

“May King” especially is a metaphor for Robin Hood. In this festival the standard costume for May Kings is tight fitting green clothing with brown accents. It goes without saying that this is the green of leaves and brown of tree trunks, so even the costume is designed to emphasize that Robin Hood is an incarnation of nature.

A May King’s attire is said to hide their presence, and allow him to melt away into nature. So Robin Hood essentially has the same ability as the fairy Puck.

This Noble Phantasm is Green Archer’s trump card, and is said to be even more powerful than his Yew Bow Noble Phantasm. It’s a cheat-tier item that makes it impossible to read Green Archers moves, so he completely one-sidedly defeats his enemy. Robin uses this cloak to hide among the trees, and snipes his enemy from afar like an Assassin.

Spartan Descent

"Heh, I'm just built different"

Basics

Name: Casandra Takanashi
Sex: F
Alignment: Chaotic Good

History

Casandra Takanashi. An orphan; born in Greece and was adopted by two magus of a minor family and soonly makes her way to the clocktower as a decorated student. Unfortunately, Cassandra didn't finish her time in this prestigious academy due to financial problems, and instead devoted her time to the military, serving her country.

She is recommended by the magus association to join the Chaldea program, due to her affinity to rayshift and not to mention impressive feats of strength and physique.

She is a straight "A" magus whose physical strength and physique outmatch even the great Luvia herself. She also carries the bloodline of the warrior king, Leonidas.

This is one scary and unpredictable woman, I don't know if I should be pleased or frightened by the fact she is my master - Robin Hood

Magecraft

Magic Circuits Quality: B+
Magic Circuits Quantity: C+
Magical Affinity: Earth, Fire
Attribute: Fortify

Minor Magecraft

Basic stuff they teach at the clock tower.

Reinforcement magic: Mainly a fighter than a mage, Cassandra is able to fortify her limbs and arms using magecraft, making her an effective combatant. It also makes her body sturdy against minor physical trauma.

Major Magecraft

Blood of the Warrior King - A blessing from the spartan king himself that runs in the veins of Cassandra. Allows its user to lessen the effects and duration of negative curses and hexes inflicted upon them.

1/singularity

Never tell me the odds - This is considered as Anti-Fate magecraft. An active blessing or a curse that defies one's destiny and luck. Based on the mathematical manipulation of probability, Cassandra can turn the tides in her favor whenever she is up against an overwhelming and disadvantageous situation. Her chances of winning are slim but never zero.

5/singularity

Phalanx Barrier - Cassandra can generate three forward facing Shields of Leonidas, simulating a phalanx of her ancestor, before herself or an ally in need, that takes three hits from anything that isn't a Noble Phantasm, or at the cost of sacrificing her [Blood], Cassandra can defend herself and her allies for five Shields of Leonidas and/or defend against a single Noble Phantasm of Anti-Unit or Anti-Army.

5/singularity.

Primary Mystic Code

A fragment of Leonidas's spearhead that she kept in her locket and wears as a necklace.

-It slightly increases her physical capabilities, and her mental acumen. It also gives her resistance to statuses such as fear, at the cost of a severe period of fatigue and migraine.

Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items

An adept brawler - Cassandra rigorously trains her body and fighting techniques as much as she practices magecraft due to her military training.

Impeccable Stamina - Cassandra does her cardio day in and day out making her more durable than your average magus.

Here we are then,

Master

Basics

Titles: All the World’s Evils (False), Queen of the Threefold Beasts, Sin-Devouring Serpent, Regulus Magnus, Baphomet’s Seventh Seal (All self-given)
Name: Katerina Trisomatus
Sex: Female
Alignment: True Evil (Chaotic Good)

History:

History

The Trisomatus family were one of many who used the meaning of various ancient monsters to power their magecraft. Though they were an ancient family, they fell into disrepair for various reasons. The dispersal of phantasmal species to the far side of the world, the natural consequences of beast magecraft as a loss of humanity, and problems unique to their own family. The loss of meaning of ‘chimera’ as a singularly powerful beast was already a problem, and, worse, the family’s ability to create new heirs became increasingly poor over time. It was simply a matter of lacking in fertility, but even if it had been purely mundane, such a thing will lead a family to ruin over the scale of time a Magus family needs.

The family stabilized their craft into the modern era of Christianity, by drawing together the meaning of ‘monster’ and ‘demon’, in addition to various meanings of serpents, lions and goats. But nothing could fully regain their past glory. Out of desperation, they turned to a new way of acquiring heirs. Scouring the country for those who naturally fit their purposes, and bringing together three into one.

Katerina is the latest in this line. Not a family by blood, but a line of Magi nonetheless. She doesn’t remember the circumstances of becoming part of this family, nor who she was before being coloured with their magecraft. All she is left with is a vague sense of being much greater than whoever she used to be - well, it’s not something that bothers her, in that case. And everyone changes as they grow up, right?

Even if the Trisomatus family is certainly in decline, a place in the Clock Tower is still a given for their current scion. Though she spent time there, she made no real friends or alliances. Those around her were intimidated by her aura of great evil - or that’s what she told herself. Probably, many of them were simply looking down on her. Even in the world of magecraft, Chuunibyou can still be an embarrassment, it seems.

As for her answer to Chaldea’s call, it was simply a matter of proving oneself. Perhaps it was simply that she took the threat more seriously than many around her.

Magecraft

Magic Circuits Quality: E
Magic Circuits Quantity: E
Magical Affinity: Fire
Attribute: Consumption

Minor Magecraft

• Sin Nexus: Using the concepts of Sin Eating and Scapegoating to draw sin into oneself.
• Sin Devouring: An internal hell that can purify sin and use it as nothing more than fuel. An energy source that compensates for her lack of circuits. Can be used infinitely, but if she attempts to devour something of a higher order than she can handle, it will lead to indigestion… Or death.
• Beast Magecraft (Limb): Encasing one’s limbs in an aura of magical energy that mimics a Chimera. When used on individual limbs, it works as an enormous boost of strength and speed, far exceeding self-reinforcement. Useable 10 times per singularity.

Major Magecraft

• Goat’s Flame: The flame breath of the goat head of the chimera. Using the internal hell as fuel and letting forth a blast of hellfire. Useable 5 times per singularity.
• Snake’s Venom: An attack, striking from a tail with a snake’s head. Biting with powerful venom that melts away flesh. Useable 5 times per singularity.
• Lion’s Skin: The use of beast magecraft to mimic the skin of the lion. A symbol of protection that rejects civilisation. Useable 5 times per singularity.

Primary Mystic Code

Mystic Eye Killer: Golgotha’s Ruin

A mystical eyepatch used to cover her Mystic Eye of Perdition. Though she doesn't truly understand the nature of her eye, and has no memories of using it, it's something she believes in, even if she can't really understand it. As a result, she heaps her own stories upon it, giving it whatever name or ability seems 'cool' at the time.

In truth, it's a single mystic eye that was one of a pair belonging to one of the three people who became one, mutated in the process. A mystic eye of Regression, mutated so that it can only turn inwards. Turning backwards, from man to beast. It's something that aligns well with her Magecraft, empowering it to use her Beast Magecraft across her whole body. However, it also greatly effects her mind, as she becomes something more akin to a beast. Though normally, someone in that situation would simply run out of energy and collapse, her internal sin engine means she could go feral and cause havoc for quite some time... Thankfully, that hasn't happened yet. Her dreadful eye of Perdition is not a tool to be unleashed lightly, after all.

Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items

• Pankration Antistrofi: Pankration, the martial art created by Heracles and Theseus to fight Phantasmal creatures toe to toe. A theoretical reverse; a technique usable by beasts to elevate themselves against heroes… but it isn’t very developed. In its current state, it’s a functional martial art, at the very least.

Servant

Basics

Class: Caster
True Name: Pasiphaë
Master: ~
Sex: Female
Alignment: True Neutral
Attribute: Heaven

History:

History

The youngest child of Helios and the nymph Perse. Each of them were powerful and renowned Magi, witches and children of the sun.

There was a time where she wanted wings to soar like her siblings, the eagle and the falcon. But later, it seemed like wings were nothing but trouble.

Unlike her siblings, who achieved their own land, she was married off to king Minos of Crete. A gift, to bridge the houses of Zeus and Helios, one could say. It was not an especially happy marriage, filled with faithlessness - but she had her own method of revenge for that. Nonetheless, she did her duty, and gave him eight healthy children, including her beloved Ariadne.

But the king’s own arrogance, his refusal to keep a promise with the Gods, resulted in the deepest curse. The Divine Bull that he had promised to sacrifice, yet had kept for his own herd - the queen was stricken with an unnatural lust for it. From this cursed union came a monstrous child, Asterios.

Though it was the result of a curse, the queen could not bring herself to see the child harmed. And, since it was a result of the king’s sin, he could not disagree.

The refugee from Athens, the inventor Daedalus, was forced to build a labyrinth to contain the creature, for his part in the queen’s sin. The child grew in the darkness of the labyrinth under the palace of Knossos, fed on sacrifices from Athens.

Years later, that hero, Theseus, appeared. A hero who killed her son, who abandoned her most precious daughter, and stole away another. Like a whirlwind of destruction.

The king focussed his anger on Daedalus while the queen mourned. Imprisoned in his own Labyrinth, the queen brought him what he needed to construct his escape device. Building a pair of wings, he and his child escaped from the island - only for the child to be struck down by Helios, Pasiphae’s own father.

Minos left the island to pursue the inventor, and eventually met his end this way. The queen ruled in his stead, and one of her human sons ascended the throne after news of his death returned to Crete. After this, myths about her cease. Perhaps she returned to her father’s domain.

Parameters

Strength: E
Agility: D
Endurance: B+
Mana: A+
Luck: C

Class Skills

• Territory Creation: B+
  
  The skill to build an area advantageous to a Magus. At this rank, the creation of a ‘Workshop’ or ‘Altar’ is possible. From watching that genius crafter at work, it seems she’s picked up some of the secrets to the creation of a ‘Labyrinth’, but not at a level that approaches the mystery of the true Labyrinth.
• Item Construction: A
  
  A skill to manufacture magical items. Time and resources are required, however. Though it’s difficult, she’ll definitely prove herself an equal to her sister… Even if it’s just for strange curses.

Personal Skills

• High Speed Divine Words: B
  
  A skill that assists with magical incantations, using the language of the age of the gods to greatly abbreviate incantations. Higher level thaumaturgy can be achieved in a greatly reduced time, something with particular applications for direct attacking Magecraft. At this rank, greater level Magecraft can be cast at the speed of a single action.
• Monster Creation: EX
  
  A skill representing the techniques and arts to give birth to a monster. Though the nature of a Servant makes it impossible to truly give birth, artificial means can substitute, so long as one has the materials, time and space. In terms of a mother of monsters who is not herself a monster, it’s hard to think of anyone more infamous. Though birthing only a single monster scarcely compares to a monster-printing machine such as Echidna, on a ‘human’ scale it’s still exceptional. Limited to 5 times per singularity, though extra 'charges' can be spent to increase the power of the resulting 'child'.

Noble Phantasm

[Rank C+]

Counterfeit Cow Cultivator
Daedalus Boukolos
Targets: 1
Range: 0
The device Caster used to mate with the Cretan (later, Marathonian) bull.

Though it’s recorded as being an invention of Daedalus, and simply a wooden cow, in truth it was a collaboration between the two Magi, a conceptual formal wear designed to allow one to synchronize with Phantasmal Species. Between the craftsmanship of Daedalus and the herblore and witchcraft of Pasiphae, something truly special could be created.

Naturally, the intended application can be deduced, but it’s best not to dwell on that.

The synchronization applies to a number of factors - the physical, in terms of matching the rhythm and reducing damage from a phantasmal species’ blows. A defence that automatically matches the strength of physical attacks from Phantasmal creatures, serving as massive damage reduction. The spiritual, opening up the ability to tune one’s mana with such creatures, synchronizing magical energy to increase the potency and output of both parties. Even social synchronization is possible - one will always be perceived as something close to ‘another member of the species’ by phantasmal species. Though it isn’t on the level of brainwashing; hostility from Caster or her allies will still cause a normal reaction, and a greater level of loyalty to another master will not be overridden.

Due to the prominence of her myth, Caster’s physical form is stuck as closer to a cow, and plus modifiers are applied to interactions with Divine Bulls.

@Silverstein

Before I move you over to that CHAR tab, did you want to go over any of the suggestions from the Interest Check regarding Cassandra?

[The Irish Tree]

@Rezod92

Your Master's image has broken somehow on both the copied sheet and the one you posted. I think the link be dead.

[Enkryption]

@Rezod92

It's broken in the PMs, too, so yeah, link is gone gone.

[Silverstein]

@Enkryption

I did the revision based on your suggestions mostly on the effects on her major magecraft which I gladly appreciate you doing improving her kit.

I left somethings behind cause i feel like its OP for my taste, like that strong fortification armor that burns overtime. I don't want Cassandra to be somesort of a Demi-servant based on her ancestry with Leonidas. I just wanna punch things, gamble fix humanity's future and torture Robin for the LULS.

Anyways if there's anything i miss or concern about her current stat lemme know. either way i'm fine with Cassandra as it is.

[Enkryption]

@Silverstein

All good. If you're 100% good with her, I'll move her over, as is.

[Rezod92]

@The Irish Tree @Enkryption

Yeah, I noticed. I'm currently having fun at Busch Gardens right now, so I'll have to fix later today. Do you want me to find a new image?

[Enkryption]

@The Irish Tree @Enkryption

Yeah, I noticed. I'm currently having fun at Busch Gardens right now, so I'll have to fix later today. Do you want me to find a new image?

@Rezod92

When you have a minute. No rush. Hopefully, you can find the same image.

[Yankee]

Woooo, cast complete~! Looking forward to start. I also like seeing the similarities between some of the characters, and differences. Should be a fun time.

[Rezod92]

@Enkryption

Adjustments made. This good?

[Enkryption]

@Rezod92

You got a face, works for me. XD

[Enkryption]

Alrighty. As it was pointed out, the cast is complete. So, I'll get started on the first post, once I'm free of work. Fairest warnings, I like to make update posts on Sunday, due to my jobs keeping me busy during the week, so generally I will work on a post piecemeal throughout.

That said, that won't always be the case, depending on how fast others post, and the general content. If posts are short and simple, I'll likely respond the same, and vice versa - granted, once the ball is rolling, expect to be reading paragraphs.

Now, with all that our of the way, I'll finish moving the characters over, and start setting the scene after work. Let's aim for that pizza party!

@The Irish Tree

[Yankee]

Coolio. At this point we should write the characters heading toward and arriving in the assembly hall, yes? I'll work on it this week!
