[OOC] Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

[Lonewolf685]

And then the cult abducted a bizarrely ginger Japanese man with decent magic circuit count who helped maintain the Servant out of an underdeveloped hero complex.

Sey-chan's Advice Corner: "Baka Cult, you need a whole lot of low-lives to do what a single true magus couldn't... baka, baka, baka, What do you think you can accomplish if you don't even understand the foundations upon which you are building a castle? Baaaaka~"

@KoL

Fixed that for ya.

And then the cult abducted a bizarrely ginger Japanese man with decent magic circuit count who helped maintain the Servant out of an underdeveloped hero complex.

@Lonewolf685

Said man would indeed exist, but he can't have a hero complex if he never met a certain mage killer (who should be alive as well, by all means) amidst a certain fire. For all that's worth it, he might be a royal scumbag and most likely has not a single clue about what magecraft is.

Name: Miyamoto Musashi

Class: Saber

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Musashi

Wears a plain, dark colored kimono.

Alignment: Neutral

Personality: A man equal parts stern and zen, Musashi's number one goal in life is the status of Japan's greatest swordsman. As he has long since achieved that goal, however, he is no longer a hotblooded young man. Cool and calculating, he has a wit sharper than his sword and is not unwilling to manipulate the enemy. In combat, he's ferocious and clever, and his swords resemble the fangs of a tiger and the claws of a dragon.
His hobbies are painting and woodworking. He has an aversion to baths.

History: Musashi was a famous ronin from 17th century Japan, notorious for being an expert duelist, winning numerous fights throughout his life through a combination of wit and skill. Most famously, he fought and killed Sasaki Kojiro when he was about twenty-nine or thirty. Besides this, Musashi was known for his skills as an artist, philosopher, and writer. He was said to have a rough appearance and mannerisms, despite his skill.
For more information, go to your local library. Or here.

Weapon: Musashi personal NP weapon consists of a daisho, a matching set of samurai swords consisting of the longer katana and the shorter wakizashi. These utilize the iconic twin ring tsuba he's associated with.

Parameters:

Strength: A

Endurance: B

Agility: A

Mana: E

Luck: C

Class Skills:
Riding: E
Concerns the usage of mounts and vehicles. As Musashi was no cavalryman in life, this is more of a courtesy skill. He has a functional grasp of most vehicles and animals, enough to drive normally.

Magic Resistance: C-
Allows Musashi a basic defense against simpler spells. Due to his being summoned under a false grail, it's weaker than it would be were he a normal Saber.

Personal Skills:
Eye of the Mind (True): A
Despite his countless duels and battles, Musashi mastered many forms of art aside from swordfighting. His powers of observation and analysis have been honed through a lifetime of experience devoted to understanding the Way.

Like Water: B
Musashi was known for winning even wit a wooden sword. Any sword or sword-like weapon used by Musashi is laced with prana, becoming a NP type weapon capable of damaging other Servants.
To clarify, in addition to becoming a viable weapon against Servants, the weapon itself becomes a "ranked up version of itself". If a pool cue and a baseball bat were both affected by this ability, the pool cue would break in fewer hits than the bat. However, both could exchange blows with a Servant. Additionally, weapons utilized by this skill do not become truly unbreakable nor do they possess special properties such as blade beams. They have limited durability and can still only be used as melee weapon.

Book of Five Rings A
Musashi relied equally on skill and strategy. He became the world's greatest duelist not only because of his phenomenal skill but because he approached each duel as if it were a battle, coming prepared with a plan and strategy. The more Musashi learns about an enemy's abilities or Noble Phantasm, the more likely he is to develop a counter-strategy.

Noble Phantasm(s): N/A

You fail to see the bigger picture of Seyrun's plan as of now. Since she has Caster on her side she might not even need a Servant, to say the truth.

@KoL

Yes but "does she have Wes on her side" is the question. Huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue

(jk alliance is go)

[Turboshitter]

I think Musashi already has a semi-canon incarnation, sorry.

Oh let's face it, Kiritsugu would have killed himself through his work long before 2012 rolled around if the Einzbern's never showed up.

[IncredibleBee]

@Turboshitter

Are you sure? Because I don't think he's been in any Fate yet. Would you mind directing me to information about this incarnation?

[Lonewolf685]

And Musashi is kind of canon.

[Unoedipal]

@IncredibleBee
Musashi's a thing in Koha-Ace, so he's unusable.

[IncredibleBee]

And Musashi is kind of canon.

@Lonewolf685

I'm gonna need a source on that.
And even if he's canon, what does it matter? We've already got Tamamo and Vlad the Impaler.

[Zobozun]

Tamamo and Vlad have both shown up in Fate, but they're still in the game.
Personally I think you two are just bitchy cuz he got in.

@IncredibleBee

Here.

Do not app any of the following. I've included the reasons for each, for clarity's sake:

Gilgamesh: Balancing.
"Pre-Gilgamesh" heroes: They can't exist.
Individuals born after 1899: Not eligible.
Individuals still alive today in their mythology (Merlin, Hanuman, etc): Not eligible.
Individuals without human blood: Not eligible. (Exceptions can potentially be made on a case-by-case basis)
Canon Servants that we do not have full information for (ie, most of the Grand Order and Strange Fake cast): Obvious.
Patriot Heroic Spirits (Koha-Ace): Obvious.
Servants that are functionally just clones of canon Servants: Originality.
Gawain: Ambiguity over Numeral of the Saint's effect.
Nursery Rhyme: Balancing.
Lugh: Balancing.

[Zobozun]

But Vlad Tepes and El Cid are also national heroes in their respective countries.

[Unoedipal]

But Vlad Tepes and El Cid are also national heroes in their respective countries.

@Zobozun

And neither of them are in Koha-Ace. "Patriot Heroic Spirits" just refers to the Koha-Ace cast.

[Zobozun]

That isn't Koha-Ace Musashi, though?
It looks like regular Musashi.

[IncredibleBee]

Koha-Ace doesn't explicitly state which Musashi it is. In fact, basically no info is given at all besides a personal name.

[IncredibleBee]

@Zobozun

This is indeed regular Musashi.

Sey-chan's Advise Corner special note:

"Hahahaha, it's so funny that It think I'm gonna die. Someone, give a cookie to this person, now."

By the way, everyone, according to KOHA-ACE, the cult's identity is a very interesting one.

[Unoedipal]

We still have some basis for that clash. There's a semi-canon incarnation of Musashi with information that's questionable at best. Same reason you can't app someone like Caesar, because there's a canon incarnation.

Besides that, I don't think you'd like the edits that would need to be made, given, the fact that one skill's basically a weaker Knight of Honor which has no business being a skill, another is very vague and feels like a metagame justification more related to a fanfiction plot than an RP, the combat stats are so much better than Not!Kojiro's that it's not even funny, and the weapon is referred to as an "NP".

Since he's not a proper feature in Koha-Ace, I'll allow it, but you'll still need some heavy changes.
