Well saw this earlier and am working on a Master to throw into the lot so thought I'd say hey and what not! Anyone with a Servant that might be interesting in pairing up I'd love to hear from you!
I'm still watching the series for the first time, but I'd definitely be game! (Hopefully my inexperience won't get the better of me too much for this one)
Manami, Mayu


Sitting on the edge of a roof with her arms stretching out to each side, Mayu was enjoying the fresh air and a break from her work. She was making a lot of progress lately and it was a nice change of pace after being stuck for months unable to make a breakthrough. She had planned on going back inside shortly to work some more but that didn't seem to be the plan for her according to the powers above. When Mayu finished stretching and she looked up a bit she spotted a butterfly coming towards her, which was nice to have a surprise pop up, the problem was it was never known what that surprise might hold. Mayu reached out with her left arm letting the butterfly land on her index finger as it relayed its message for her. Finally a sigh escaped her lips as she closed her eyes and spoke softly. "Message recieved."

Watching for a moment as the butterfly flew off Mayu smiled. It was a shame she wouldn't get to continue her work for now, but the exciting thing was that she was being sent on a mission, and that was always interesting. Mayu pushed off the roof gently and felll to the ground, but as soon as her foot touched the ground she was gone with a simple shunpo. She was heading off towards the southern districts figuring the others would locate her on their way there. She would also take a a leisurely pace so as not to rush too far ahead without anyone. A small chuckle escaped Mayu's lips as she went on her way though. It had been awhile since she'd seen Kyogen, so this could definitely be more entertaining than usual.
@Zobozun Sent it...
@Zero Hex Okay, fair enough, but again there are more than one way to go about using just a sword, as mentioned Kenpachi was fuck you overpowered motherfucker, do something else, obviously. As for the Quincy thing, again I'd want it pointed out where the Quincies were annihilated in this universe, because obviously this isn't cannon, so it stands to reason taht might not have happened.
Okay so, considering you haven't actually responded to much of anything, and I'm trying to work with you here seeing I've pointed out a myriad of shortcomings and heavy disadvantages my character is subjected to as well as provided justification for powers you thought lacked ground to stand on based on thematic, story, personality and even real life examples of similar skills:

How do you suggest balancing out a man whose thing is being a skilled actual swordsman with the low key powerset of "can sword real good despite being unable to powerblast", without being immediately rendered moot by the people summoning reiryoku-stealing, crushing bodies of water, creating poisonous clouds and a poison-on-touch armor, summoning and controlling magical shadows etc, all of them armed with a magical weapon as well, often with a higher level of proficiency in other skills to boot over my extremely overspecialized guy. Should I just scrap it and just have a samey powerset? Let go of an actual gimmick in favor of regular lieutenant levels of power?

As for the gunto: Why tho? It's not as though there's no precedent, such as Mayuri having a legitimate Quincy artifact at hand to give to Uryu after he sacrificed his powers. I'm asking for a crappy copy of a thing to have a sidearm both for thematic reasons (daisho) and because my character is, once again, a sword and literally nothing else. It's not at all outlandish to believe someone would think that researching into a backup weapon that's just "portable blade" might be a good idea. I mean it's just whatever, but it feels like a weird thing to shut down off-hand.


So, I'm just going to throw a couple things out there, one being that history is a bit different in this, I'm not sure the whole Quincy extermination event happened (Might've missed or jsut wasn't mentioned), so for the artifact thing might not be so available really...Also since my character is one of the lead project people, especially in relations to Quincy related items, I'm sure we could talk something over in PM and I could work something out possibly and run it by the GM's through her as a character.

As for the the abilities, I'll second what Gan said, though I'll almost point out that he's excessively good at what he does and is a bit of a show off, but aside from that, if you really want to keep the gimmick (Not a GM so I can't speak for anyone, especially none of them) why not just be like kenpachi without a release (Early on obviously) and just go about how he fights differently then 'head on! Who cares if I'm cut!' because obviously already done, and no way a lieutenant would survive that...Also another idea is maybe just go for a seated position if you don't think that they can hack it as a lieutenant. (Of course I look overly biased as I'm already in the process of a character that I'd love to take a Lt. spot with, but that's not the point!)
@Phobos, @Kurisa Are there any more Lieutenant/Captain slots left? If so I have a second character I think I'd like to introduce to the RP, though she does have a Bankai, so It'd need to be either a Lieutenant that is okayed to have one or a captain...
So uh, regarding the missions, namely the possibility of heading into Las Noches. Don't you think starting by going to the giant impossible fortress consistently populated by the most powerful forces in a dog-eat-dog world is a bit...I don't know, extreme? Like we're starting at something that should be built up to.


It's actually secretly a suicide mission :P But nah, it's just to figure things out sheesh, if all seems calm lately, why wouldn't you send a scouting party when you're curious?
@Ciphra Wellllllll then. XD


Hey! I'm fine for now at least :p
@Oblivion666 Of course you are...Hopefully I won't pass out due to my lack of sleep lately...
