Fate/True - A Grail War Role Playing Game

@Slime You gotta be fucking kidding me. *unleashes every single blade in the Gate of Babylon* MY Servant has been up since DAY ONE. Pick another!

Considering that is the EXACT THING I HAVE.

@Slime I call BS on that Rho Aias, just like how I call BS on Archer escaping Gilgamesh. NOBODY escapes the one true king.

@BubbleGumKing Sounds good!

@Lunaeria I'm still at work and it's going to be awhile to get home until I can finish Fan's backstory. Does that count down include me?

@Slime Ten. Foot. Thick. Plot Armor.

Believe me, I'm hearing your argument but it's like Harry Potter fighting a basilisk. Main characters always survive. TT_TT

@Slime Nah, it's fine. I simply ask that you don't abuse that though.

Also, if your referring to Shirou and Gilgamesh, I'll have you know that little red haired Bastard is protected by plot armor ten feet thick. -____-

But yeah, she's approved.

@Slime I think Phantasmagoria is a little too strong. Remember, Mages are powerful, but not exactly powerful enough to take on a Servant. Their spells can be powerful, but if the Caster has a hard time with the Knight Classes, mage would have a even harder time. And the Caster excels at Magic more than a mage ever could.

Circuits are how many. For instance, Shiro Emiya has one or two, while I think Rin Tohsaka has closer to Seventy... and you see the type of Magic she is capable of.

@Halvtand Not only that, but also look at things politically. Both Avatars were manipulated so many times its almost not even funny.

I'll fully allow Aang's group to be written off, since they comprised of a child frozen in ice for 100 years, two teens from the frozen boondocks in the south, and a blind girl. They're allowed to be ignorant. . . but still.

Korra was TRAINED by the White Lotus in what only seemed to be bending, considering she has the finesse personality of a brick through the window. She butted heads with the Chief of Police, was manipulated by Tarrlok, was manipulated so blindly by her Uncle, further manipulation by Varrick, further further manipulation by the Earth Queen, Zaheer. . .

Korra: Ha! Forget it! There's no way I'm rejoining your vanity project.
Tarrlok: That is unfortunate to hear but I'm sure you'll come to your senses as you have in the past.
Korra: Don't hold your breath, bub. You know, Tenzin's been right about you all along. You played me, you played Beifong and now you're playing the new Chief too. Well, I got news for you. You need me, but I don't need you. I'm the Avatar.
Tarrlok: You're not, in fact, the Avatar. You are merely a half-baked Avatar in training, which reminds me, how is your airbending going? Made any significant progress with that? I didn't think so. If you will not be part of my task force, then you had best stay out of my way.

Like, omg, did nobody teach the Avatar to MAYBE read a room? Not every battle is won with fire blasts and flying boulders.

Nobody thought of telling her the Red Lotus existed, despite the kidnapping attempt. Nobody thought of telling her the political conflict within her own family. Nobody gave her the full and fleshed out history of her predecessor... like, a Blood Bender NOT using the full moon? Kinda an important detail. Nobody bothered to put HER life above all others, and instead they flung a teenager into world-ending scenarios over and over because SHE was the Avatar and not them. And as a result, they almost lost the Avatar spirit for good.

I love Korra. I love how she's brash, hard headed, punch first ask questions later kinda girl. I wouldn't have wanted her to be anything else. But I can only look at the White Lotus and go "Really? THIS is the Avatar you guys produced?"

I imagine that whatever Avatar Fan has is going to make his life HELL as he tries to keep things on the level. And I wouldn't want that any other way.

@Halvtand Thanks! Though I'm sorta in love with your Kyoshi warrior. She's like one of the Wushu masters you'd see in films, and I bet you'll have a load of fun writing with her different combat styles.

My thoughts for Fan were like... "Aang screwed up so many times, and Korra screwed up with Varrick because they were naive and trusting. I mean, first thing Korra does when she gets to republic city is fish in a local park and share it with the first hobo she meets. Aang willingly trusts the Dai Long and suffers fkr it. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

So in a sense... our characters are opposites. One is a socially akward and naive fighter in her prime and mastery in combat. The other is a more cynical and world weary assassin whose focused on making life a little kinder for the Avatar.

....honestly, I will we could both play just to see these two interact.

@ProPro My initial thought was that the White Lotus had to change its play style significantly after the Red Lotus played their hand. In Aangs time, the White Lotus was comprised of a few elite masters. They diluted that in Kora's time and became more like glorified body guards. So when the Red Lotus, a group of a few elite masters, showed up, the White was utterly wiped. My thoughts were that when the Red were forced underground, the White focused its efforts on hunting them down and slipping back into the shadows after them.

Fan wasn't employed by the White Lotus. He was TRAINED by them, and works for them as an operative, responsible for stopping threats to the avatar (like Kora's kidnapping) before they happen. Keeping the Red Lotus scattered and trying to keep them from unifying again.

The idea is that Fan sueded in a mission but was injured to an extent that he could no longer work as an assassin for them, but his knowledge was still useful. Something to prepare the Avatar for the manipulations of the world around her
