Okay, time to put my GM Hat on. Psyker and Grey already mentioned stuff in my stead, but I'm feeling better so I'll take it over from here.

-Plops the GM hat on-

@Nidhogg: Alright, I understand that this is a work in progress, however, but I feel there's some things that'll need changing. The Dragon's Breath, you're going to have to explain thoroughly, and I feel like that'll have to be a true form Noble Phantasm. Even then, I feel like I might have to remove it, so don't get your hopes up.

Storm of Ragnarok, that would also be a True Form Noble Phantasm no questions asked as a destroyer dragon. While I do admit this does seem unfair, Nidhogg is a powerful figure and is a legendary dragon; he also has his other Noble Phantasm to work with outside of his true form.

@Roland: Personally, this is one of my favorites. Just give a rank to Durandel and his horse. Oh, and just add a little more detail to what his horse can do, and he'll be fine.

@Claire "Kurei" Sugiyama-Winslow: For the most part, besides looking really revealing, she's alright. Remove the Wu Shu stuff, it's unnecessary on her if she's stealthy and a ranged fighter, and elaborate more upon her background. I hate to say this... but her background is just bland, while her Personality is lively; it doesn't mix well as a master.

@William Marks: Alright. I'm just going to say that you change the ability section completely for him, for we will be having none of that for Masters in this RP. I'm not doing this to be rude, Lionheart, I truly, truly am not. The guy is good, everything is fine except for his abilities. But I will not let a Master run amok with abilities like those in this RP, and I just want to make that clear by ending any arguments now. Rework his abilities.

@Charlotte Fairglaive : Remove Absolute Authority. If it seems like it could be breaking the rules, then it probably is… Yeah… Take it out. You can replace it with something else, fine, but not something of that magnitude.

@Rosaline Fairglaive : Change the Mystic Eyes thing to Clairvoyance or Foresight, because, correct me if I am wrong, that is not how Mystic Eyes are meant to work. Also, remove “There is another level of this power that allows her to pull what she sees into being, like a pillar, bus or train. However this drains her AND her siblings mana considerably, leaving not only her but also Charlotte open for a good while. “ part… because Masters shouldn’t have access to something like this, and I’m not sure what the first half is talking about.

For the most part, I made up my mind on these things. Also, I’ve noticed that most backgrounds haven’t been fleshed out and I would appreciate if they were… it would really add to the characters.

Questions, appeals, or anything of the like, shoot them my way.

Definitely interested. Loved the use of Gia's art too, by the way.

Thank you! I was hoping that I was using it in a good way since I love their art~

The time and setting where this RP is taking place, the world is united under one banner. There is no 'every country', for there is just a single 'country'; Mankind. While this obviously wouldn't work in the real world, things are desperate in this setting.

The reason of the specific age range is because I wanted it to be under 18, but I didn't want it to be so young that it got uncomfortable for other players, and another reason for the young aged pilots is because of the fact that I want to have things somewhat similar to Evangelion with adults using children to accomplish their needs despite the cost of things. This is also sort of what I had in mind for the plot of the RP.

Basically, think of it from an animated stand point or, in specific, Evangelion's standpoint.

Oda smiled a bit as soon as he entered the other room; a fine spacious area where it was more than suitable for people to train and spar at. An excellent place indeed... hell, it brought him back to the court he used to be in when he was back at the Police Academy. It was as if he was back at his natural habitat... back with his buddies at the headquarters training or goofing off in-between calls and tasks. Pleasant... nice. Not much more could be said as those memories came back to him and as a simple smile crept its way more onto his face. Popping one of his signature sweets into his mouth, he began to stretch a bit and was about to do a few exercises until Prudence called out to him and offered to spar. For a moment, he almost choked on his candy as she spoke, and had to cough as he quickly crushed the sweet with his jaws. He never really did have a partner, nor did he actually ever did spar with someone else.

"A-Ah... Sorry about that," Oda patted his chest as he stood straight, smiling before continuing, "I didn't think someone was going to follow behind me so quickly. You kind of took me off guard there, Prudence, correct?" he spoke as he readjusted himself. "To be honest, I've never really had a sparring partner, so this is something somewhat new to me, although I don't mind taking you up on your offer."

"Although, having spectators is quite nice too, don't you think?" he chuckled as he nodded towards Lance. "After Prudence and I are done sparring, I'd be more than willing to spar with you if you'd like," he said in a respective tone. Despite being a cop, he wasn't looking down at Lance- No, his eyes were saying that he was interested in seeing what the guy could truly do. He saw him as a comrade; someone who he could respect and hopefully rely upon. Focusing his attention back towards Prudence his smiled, before a frown emerged as his Mori appeared by his side as a horrifying lantern appeared within his left hand.

"Heh~ It's glowing orange! You know what that means my precious Oda!" spoke the Mori as she giggled with her tail swaying from side to side, poking the moving lantern as the face upon it stared towards Prudence, before turning to look at Lance- its orange color never changing before disappearing. "Oooooooo! This'll be fun! They're strong too! Well, that's to be expected after all! Chief did hand pick you guys~"

"Do you mind? We're in the middle of something. I only need my weapon. Nothing else," spoke Oda with slight frustration as he glared at his Mori before she pouted... and as a scythe appeared within Oda's right hand as the lantern disappeared. Refusing to do anything more, the Mori promptly vanished, leaving the disturbing looking scythe in Oda's hand. "I apologize for her... intrusion," Oda sighed as he twirled the Scythe with excellent skill as if he already knew how to use it, "her and I don't get along well as you can see."

Sighing again, Oda tried to put up a smile. "I would have introduced her, but unfortunately, I do not know her name... but let's ignore that for now."

"The first move, is yours, Prudence."

Well, these Frameworks are experimental, as stated above and one could say that they have a mind of their own- they choose their pilots rather than the pilots choosing them.

This is expressed by the following when someone enters one of these experimental Frameworks in an attempt to pilot them:

"We cast in the name of God... Ye are not Guilty." if you are the true Pilot, granting you the ability to pilot them with no repercussions.

"We cast in the name of God... Ye are Guilty." if you are not the true Pilot and thus resulting in the Framework going berserk or trying to kill you.

"We cast in the name of God... Ye are not" if the Framework has questioned your path/ideals as the true pilot, and as a result will refuse to work for you until you can convince it somehow.

---

Essentially, these Frameworks are relatively similar to those of the Megaduses of Big O and the Evas of Evangelion; they're somewhat sentient beings. They aren't blocky or anything of the such, in fact, they'd look more like something of a humanoid military-grade machine; they're more realistic looking than anything else. They can use normal weapons ranging from rifles, swords, and other various things, to adapting to use alien tech right on the spot... despite how dangerous as that might sound.

Some Frameworks may be bulkier or slender than others depending on their roles on the battlefield, but that can be up to the discretion of the players of course, however, there have been cases of slender models being Pointmen and taking the brute force while heavier models deal the damage.

In the end, they're humanoid looking and they serve mankind to save mankind... but if the pilot's will isn't strong enough, these special Frameworks will take control to do the job themselves.

I hope that answered your question, if not I'm really sorry. >_<

Oda promptly stood up before the chief could answer anything, but not before he took out one of his favorite soft caramel sweets and placed it into Evangeline's hand. It was clear that she was uncomfortable being here and that her life was rough... her Mori sure as hell didn't make things any well better by its cruel antics moment ago. Whether it was intentional or not; no one had to go through that. Patting the girl on the head, and finally standing up, Oda spoke up and interrupted on his own. "I think I have a pretty basic idea, so I'll pass with the questions... besides, I got her telling me stuff... and I suspect things will work much like they did in life for me, or, at least that is what I believe."

The police officer removed his glasses, looking over them for a moment before cleaning them with the edges of his thumb. "If you don't mind... I'll be finding myself somewhere to train and get adjusted to things until whatever the reasons you expected more of us to be here to arrive." Placing his glasses on, Oda bowed his head towards the chief as a sign to excuse himself, before turning towards Koyuki, his eyes were... vastly different than how he was before when he was introducing himself.

"Oh... and not to be rude, but I don't like you... and I think I'm going to dislike working with you... Though, I am glad to hear that I may have the option not to. So, please excuse me if I don't join your fan club, Koyuki. I understand where you're coming from with some of your ideals, but because of who I am, you're someone I'm going to hate. I'd also like it if you'd be more respectful towards our comrades, since they're in the same boat as you," spoke Oda plain as day before walking out with a shake of his hand to train somewhere on his skills until he was called into action.

"I'll be around if anyone needs me, whether it be a small chat over some coffee or tea or something else."

@Lionheart: Alright, thinking it over, I think I'ma go with Art's ideas of stat changes, HOWEVER, I will say that his endurance be reduced to C due to the fact that he has Battle Continuation of A Rank, which is a mighty powerful skill despite what his Endurance may be. Saber is a Defender, from what I see, and by the looks of his shield, it serves more as a Bounded Field type Noble Phantasm in that it serves as a Conceptual weapon when not in use, but once activated, like you said, he can claim domain over an area and "protect" it as long as it is a structure capable of being protected.

So... I think with:

Str: B
End: C
Agility: C
Mana: C
Luck: D

You'd be fine, I believe. Though what Art mentioned above did catch my interest, and I would perhaps read a few things that he may have mentioned if you'd want.

It’s a fairly funny thing… you know? Watching how we, mankind would fight and bicker among each other over the slightest things. For years we would kill and lay waste to each other over religion, putting our ideals on the line while at the same time back at home our people would fight over the rights that they had. Justice… equality… hunger… appearances… or what just happened on the latest TV show… whatever you could imagine with your little insignificant head they bickered about.

You would think for such an advance race compared to all the primitive animals that we’d be far better, wouldn’t we? No. Truth is, we were nothing than primates ourselves; animals who couldn’t go beyond our differences to unite and join one another and create a better world.

In the end, we just destroyed our mother Earth… Well, let me give you a short history lesson.



In the year 2262, roughly 260 years of constant fighting, our world was nothing more than a nuclear dump with only a few patches of habitable lands left where the man who finally united the Earth forces under a single banner decided to make his ground. He built an impenetrable fortress and had his forces cultivate and secure whatever lands could be saved by using Green House Helixes; devices meant to preserve to the lands that were untainted by the wars. Communities were built within these lands, before steps to move forward were introduced.

In the year 2321, the man who united Earth passed and his son took over. Expeditions from Earth to cultivate new planets began, with flagships each containing the newest development; the Framelocks- powerful mechanized piloted units that can only be used by a select few individuals.

Dozens of dozens of these Framelocks traveled and spread across with the Spartans, Howlers, Banshees, and other military forces as they slowly captured planets… and for years, things were working for we thought we were alone in the universe.

Or so we thought.

In the year 2578, we lost communication with a human colony on our outer rim all of a sudden. At first, we thought it was just an error with the signal… until seconds later another colony tuned in and told us that they were being attacked.

We suddenly found ourselves thrown into a war with an unknown alien race for years, with all of our communications being cut off with all of our planets. Despite all the reinforcements we sent, we never heard from them… we could only assume the worst had happened.

It was only in the year of 2590 that we finally were able to make establish contact with one of our outer rim planets due to the efforts of the descendent of the man who united Earth who wanted to find out what happened. We found that our people were killed.



They were slain by an alien race called the Cruxi… and they had technology and firepower that was on a whole new level compared to us. Beam weapons, ships that were faster, soldiers that had barriers… you name it, they probably had it. However, their numbers weren’t as vast as ours. So we threw ourselves at them in order to keep them at bay, and to keep them from reaching more of our home worlds.

Though a strategy like that can only last so long until all of humanity starts to believe that we’re fighting a losing war… but that’s where you come in, kid.

You’re here to clean up our petty mistakes of our pasts as adults and to fight our battle. That’s the sad truth of the matter. Remember how I mentioned those Frameworks earlier, right? Well, you along with others around your age have been chosen to pilot experimental Frameworks in hopes of turning the tides of this war.

Truth be told, I don’t envy you… because I feel you’re going to be thrown straight into the horrors of things kid… I just pray you make it out of this alive, even if we don’t.

Hello, and welcome to Living Alchemic Drive, or LAD for short! This is a RP where you take the roll of a pilot who is aged 14-17 by scientists to pilot experiment Frameworks in hopes of defeating the Cruxi; a mysterious alien race hell-bent on destroying humanity for unknown reasons.

A lot of things that happen with the mechs would be similar to the way they work in Evangelion in terms of synchronizing with them. The stronger your synchronization rate, the stronger your Framework. Not only that, but there will be specific roles you can specialize in that I will disclose later depending on how interest is!

I will say that not only will you face other Mechs and soldiers, but you will face certain foes that are comparable to the angels in Evangelion, or even stronger than them; this mean teamwork is critical!

Anyway, do tell me what you guys think! Questions, comments, suggestions, criticism... anything!

Oda calmly stood up upon understanding that it was time to introduce themselves, and decided to go first since no one else did. Adjusting his tie and fixing his his black leather gloves, before putting his glasses on. He looked over at the man who addressed them and was surprised to see that he was roughly their age. He hesitated on listening to her since he died and that how she wanted him to come here, considering the things she was saying about how they were perfect for each other. He still remembered the long walk he spent getting here, ignoring practically everyone and everything except the slowly nagging sensation of both her and something else in his head until he reached this place.

"My name is Oda Riveres... and by your statement it seems there was supposed to be more of us coming but they decided not to show..." spoke the somewhat intimidating man as he calmly stood his ground. "Eheh... I'm sorry to hear that, sir. Oh, and I'm not really that great with introductions either, considering I'm terrible in crowds. I do like sweets, I can brew wonderful coffee or tea, and I can cook pretty well despite my looks." His voice was different compared to his body's stature; he was nice despite being firm.

"I'm not sure if this is relevant... or if we should talk about this, as 'little reapers', but in life I was an officer. I died in the line of duty... but... I'm here, with her..." he mumbled as a woman appeared next to him.

"Still don't like me?" she played with his hair before Oda promptly brushed her off with his hands.

"No. Apparently she represents my death; Unfair Judgment... Anyway, I apologize for taking so much of our time. Who would like to go next?"

@King Richard: Alrighty, I like the way you've built the idea around him. In fact, I think this is a pretty cool way to go about doing things, however... currently, I feel that he's way powerful stat-wise.

His Noble Phantasms and skills seem perfect, but... honestly, under those circumstances he could take down literally anyone in or out of his Noble Phantasm usage, which isn't a good thing as a Saber. So, for this reason I'm going to have to impose a few stat decreases.

I'd like you to reduce his Strength to D and Agility down to C Rank. I would also like his Endurance down to B Rank. I'm suggesting these stats, because from Saber's Noble Phantasms, its clear that he should be played more from a defensive perspective, rather than a head on charge straight into things approach. Oh, and feel free to remove the plus signs, they aren't really necessary~ We can remember that stuff!

Would this compromise be good with you? It would be easier this way, rather than you having to rework your Noble Phantasms and your abilities.

@Kitsune: Feel free to join! We have near limitless spot openings!

@Hebigami Shiho: As mentioned, we have near limitless spot openings long as we have enough interest! No limits on Servants or Masters either for now~
