[OOC] Fate/Esoterica Mk 2

[Raineh Daze]

Need a Master? Yes, but we need a Rider more.

If it comes to it, I actually have an idea for covering the lack of that pair, but it would mean pairing Mamoru with Benkei... though given that it's Berserker, maybe not the worst thing. Would rather not do it, though.

[Lionheart]

Hey! I saw you're in need of a servant and a master. I'd be happy to join and give one or both just give me a little bit to write something up.

Edit: Here's what I've got for a servant.

Rider

Class: Rider
Spirit: Roland
Master: ???
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Good
Personality: Strong, steadfast, and stubborn. He holds closely his knightly ideals and his christian faith.
As a knight his loyalty to his master is unwavering and his devotion to his cause is likewise strong.

MAG: C
LCK: E
NP: A

Class Skills
Riding: Rank A
All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts.

Magic Resistance: Rank D+
Cancel Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.

Personal Skills
Protection of the Faith: Rank B
A Skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is only the absoluteness of one's body and soul, which is born from faith.

Guardian Knight: Rank A

Battle Continuation: Rank B
The strength of vitality for predicaments. Also, the ability to withdraw from combat and reach allied territory alive after being defeated.

Noble Phantasms

Name: Durendal
Title: The Peerless Sword
Rank: A
Type: Anti Unit
Description: The sword of Roland. It is said to contain within its golden hilt one tooth of Saint Peter, blood of Saint Basil, hair of Saint Denis, and a piece of the raiment of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and to be the sharpest sword in all existence. It possesses three miracles that allow it to maintain its sharpness even after its possessor's prana is depleted. Though Roland, on the verge of death in battle, had wished to destroy it to keep it from falling into enemy hands, it proved to be completely indestructible.

Name: Horn of Hope
Title: Horn to Call the Army
Rank: A
Type: Support
Description: A unicorn horn Roland uses to signal Charlemagne's army, it represents the strength of the reinforcements it is used to call. Upon blowing the horn, he recovers a great deal of stamina and most wounds are healed. He also gains a bonus to Strength, Endurance, and Agility until he is no longer in combat. Once the horn has been blown, it shatters.

Name: Veillintif
Title: The Vigilant Stead
Rank: A
Type: Ani-Army?
Description: A quick, loyal and intelligent war horse, belonging to the Knight Roland. His trustworthy, swift, and beloved horse, was formerly the possession of king Agolant's son, Helmont. After Helmont's defeat, the horse (and his sword Durendal) was given to Roland.

Veillintif is an incredibly swift, and particularly large horse. He can leap incredible distances with ease. Aside from being incredibly fast, Roland gets a boost to Strength and Agility while mounted. His horse is his main mode of battle. (Although he'll generally try to fight on foot first) It has no other abilities beyond being supernaturally fast and strong.

Am I correct that the master needed is for berserker?

[Grey]

That is correct, yes.

Um, not really looking for someone who only wants to play a Master, and someone else already has a Rider up.

On Roland: his stats seem rather... weak? Also a bit confused that a horn he refused to blow until he was about to be killed, and kept going until dying, for the sake of revenge buffs him here.

On Durendal, just going to paste this:

Durandal: The Peerless Sword ( 絶世の名剣デュランダル , Zessei no MeikenDyurandaru ?) is the holy sword favored by the paladin leader of the Twelve Peers, Roland. It was granted to King Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire by an angel, and awarded to Roland. Appearing in the “Song of Roland, it is a symbol of power splendidly forged much like Caliburn, having been the emblem of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. It is a dazzling sword that possesses three miracles that allow it to maintain its sharpness even after its possessor's prana is depleted. Though Roland, on the verge of death in battle, had wished to destroy it to keep it from falling into enemy hands, it proved to be completely indestructible. It was featured later prominently in the various legends concerning Charlemagne, eventually becoming a symbol of the knight Roland’s bravery.[13]

One of the things Gilgamesh kept shooting in Fate. If nothing else, we at least have the sword's official subtitle. XD

[Lionheart]

Weak huh? Well, I'm not very good at servant balancing truth be told, so I usually go with more conservative load outs. If you've got a specific idea of which stats need buffed and by how much I'd be happy to hear them. The horn itself isn't really the Noble Phantasm, but the idea behind it is. The concept that upon blowing this horn reinforcements will come. It's a symbol of hope as the name says. Being a one use buff, it fits that Roland refuses to blow it until the circumstances are incredibly dire.

And I did not know Durendal had official stats, I much prefer my version but I don't know. Can I keep mine, or do I use that?

[Raineh Daze]

I think mostly that Strength. He's a pretty beefy knight, guy shouldn't be going around with D-Rank Strength on foot. More in league with Iskander or Medusa on hitting power.

Well, if you think of the three miracles as something like command seals, you could get basically the same effect out of it if you wanted--and the other useful abilities. Power buffs for a critical fight, the spacial teleportation, breaking through a shield or the like you otherwise couldn't. All you're basically doing right now is giving yourself marginally better Magic Resistance.

[Lionheart]

I see your point, Iskandaar and Medusa, with the right Masters have B. So I guess that's acceptable?

Okay, so the three miracles could basically be anything then? They would be single use abilities that could be entirely situational? So, for instance, if Roland was in a dire fight with Saber, one of his miracles might duplicate his horns effect and give him a second wind? If that's the case I do like that concept better.

[Grey]

I imagine changing the title would be sufficient for the Durandal thing. You've got the sharpness and the three miracles are poorly defined (my interpretation version was three psuedo-Command Seals for Roland to do whatever he wanted) so your magic resist boost and your anti-magic could count as two of three. Maybe add a third effect? IDK. Still seems pretty weak for miracles though, and anti-magic was more Ruggiero's Balisard's thing in the Carolingan myths.

Stat-wise, Roland was basically the Lancelot to Charlie's Arthur. I'd definitely buff his physical stats. Especially END and STR. Roland basically held off an effing army and he had to suicide while Oliphant-ing to die even then (though, I guess all the defensive skills answer his tankitude, still he deserves to be a lot stronger than D++)

Edit: Ninja'd.

[Raineh Daze]

I was thinking B. XD

And yes, that's what I mean. Stat buffs, spatial magic, breaking through defences the sword would otherwise be stuck against--that sort of thing.

[Lionheart]

Fixed, I hope. Let me know if what you think. Also let me know if I need to pick the three miracles now or if they are just in effect perpetually. Again, I'm not too good at balancing really.

[Raineh Daze]

It's a case of the three miracles could be anything, but they're used up in doing so, so it's a bad idea to waste them. But you're a guy with an invulnerable sword.

Sure seems to be a lot of them floating around in this war.

Anyhow, now we just need a Master out of you. :P

[Grey]

Oh right. All this talk of Noble Phantasms reminds me of something. Do I have to do write ups for the magical relics and junk Odysseus can use? Y'know, to prevent ass-pulling on my part.

[Raineh Daze]

And it seems that the Lionheart guy has... totally forgotten about this. Okay?

[Lionheart]

I have not, just waiting patiently to find out who my master will be.

[Grey]

It's Mamoru. He's the only one left.

[Raineh Daze]

Lionheart said

Yup, Mamoru.

And I've been waiting patiently for you to make a Master, since this is how things normally work in my experience.

[Lionheart]

Ah, I was under the impression you just needed a servant from me, as someone had posted after me expressing interest in making a master. My apologies, I'll get on it as soon as I can.

Master

Name: Richard Marks
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Magecraft/Abilities
Richard is an innately powerful mage with great skill in all common schools of magecraft, and his affinities are Fire and Earth. His ability to freeze anyone who makes eye contact with him is actually a result of his Mystic Eyes and not his own naturally commanding presence. These Mystic Eyes were developed over generations of research and study, with Richard himself succeeding in his family's research. Finally, utilizing his dual affinity of Fire and Earth, his Mystic Code is a gold ring with a ruby inlaid within that, upon contact, can destroy and remake any worldly substance. Basic applications involve taking a simple metal bar and making a sword out of it whilst more complex and costly methods involve reshaping the earth itself, which on any large scale could very well kill the user.

Appearance: Richard is a rather tall, fit man standing around 6'2. His black hair is neatly combed and well trimmed, as is his mustache. His dark, intelligent eyes are constantly analyzing everything around him. He generally wears a suit and tie.

Equipment: Wealth from his and his family's businesses both in the modern and magic world.
Personality: A smart and adaptive businessperson, Richard always has his eyes out for opportunities to better himself. That being said he is a just man who values honor and integrity as well, never accepting the easy deals and always seeking to do what is right. Richard's general demeanor is that of a stern, commanding man who has a real sense of presence with his natural charisma and his imposing figure. However get past the crusty exterior and you'll find a caring, yet stern man who would turn the world over on it's head to help those he cares about.

History: (Optional)
