Current I feel a chill crawl down my spine every time I see that the number of notifications exceeds the number of suscribed posts. :S

@Tojin I'm surprised no one's made a reference to one of the deadest memes on the internet. Faith in humanity (somewhat) restored.

Will be going on an indefinite hiatus as soon as all of my current RPs die. I'm starting to lose my metaphoric footing on my studies and my grades are dropping as a result.

I'm not the ship's Captain, but I'll still go down with it. *salutes*

Yeah, must have missed that, my bad.

Remove the modifier from Magic Resistance. Like Fiddle said, Protection from Wind covers that already, so there's no need for it.

Please justify the defense nullification aspect of the spear, as well as the thrown attack. Are there historical anecdotes or anything like that you're pulling from?


I'm sorry about the Magic Resistance modifier, I totally thought I got rid of it.

Actually, yes, there is documentation of this Heroic Spirit actually existing. Like I mentioned in the History section, I loosely based her off of the original Arawak/Taino Chief of the same name... And I turned him into a girl, but that's nothing new to any Fate fan.

As for her spear, I had to make it up with bits and pieces from Puerto Rico's mythology and culture, since there is no recorded instance of a particular spear used by Agüeybana. The components of the transfigured spear—the wooden shaft carved from the Maga tree and the stone head carved from a holy artifact (zemi)—all come from materials that actually exist. The Maga tree produces the sturdiest wood out of all the island's endemic trees, and its flower is currently Puerto Rico's National Flower. The zemi are small stone sculptures that bear the faces of the Tainos' holy deities.

The Atlatl is a real weapon used by actual Native Americans that launched short spears using leverage as a long-range alternative to a bow and arrow. I'm personally not sure if the Taino people had access to the weapon, but it's a characteristic weapon of the "Indians" that were also conquered by Columbus.

As for the throwing spear, I admit to making it a shittier copy of Gáe Bolg...
Kjolmar's words made Makoto raise both eyebrows in surprise. "Really?" he asked the blond-haired Trainer. "To be honest, you didn't really seem like a bad Trainer back there with the Totem Pokemon." He glances at Kjolmar's sneakers, noticing the small fox-like creature snuggling up against it's Trainer's leg. "I mean, Eevee seems to be enjoying your company."

All of a sudden, Makoto felt a sharp prickly feeling in his leg. Panicking, he looked downwards at his own sneakers, only to find Pichu rubbing her cheek against his right leg. The electricity leaking from Pichu's cheeks ended up numbing most of Makoto's leg... "Pichu, I understand your intentions, but you don't have to imitate Kjolmar's Eevee like that..."

"Chu..." The tiny mouse Pokemon curls up over Makoto's right sneaker and starts snoring. "She must be exhausted. We should take our Pokemon to a Pokemon Center. There should be one nearby, since this city is pretty huge." Makoto reaches for his belt and pulls out a standard model Pokeball. By pushing the button at the center, he recalls his sleepy Pichu, sealing the creature back inside the capsule.
Yeah, the whole idea of making a Caster out of a not-so-popular mathematical figure who's only about 250 years old didn't seem to fly with me, especially considering the other submissions on this thread. I needed to kick it up a notch, so I decided to submit for a Lancer slot instead—someone much closer to home, if you get the idea.



(EDIT: Fixed the parameters and skills at the GM's request. The description for Lancer's Noble Phantasm has been completely rewritten to suit her origin story a little better. As of the moment I'm writing this footnote, I am ready to submit this sheet for review.)


Bumping this. I am under the impression that the GMs still haven't reviewed this revised sheet for Lancer/Agueybana while newer Servant sheets have been reviewed and approved. You must have missed my earlier post...
@Breo Oh, look, another Lancer application. And it's canon, too! I hope no one else submits another Lancer, since there's only room for two...

Also, since I already have your attention, I'll share a funny picture with you.



You should feel honored; you got @Cu Chulainn himself reading your applicatio for... Cu Chulainn. Maybe he's verifying the authenticity of his stats and parameters? XD

I'll just assume the gates are open and go right ahead with a character application.


Still a bit shaken from the encounter with the Totem Pokemon, Makoto took Kjolmar's outstretched hand. "Thanks..." he mumbled while averting his gaze from his fellow Trainer. "My name is Makoto. It's nice... Nice to meet you."

Pichu hopped right back on to her Trainer's shoulder and greeted Kjolmar with a big smile. "Pi-chu!" The tiny mouse Pokemon squealed in a sing-song tone in her voice.

"This is Pichu... but I think you knew that already. She's the only Pokemon that I can call my own. My older brother gave me her Egg when I turned ten, and the two of us have been inseparable since she hatched." A gentle smile formed on Makoto's face.

The three remained in awkward silence for a second or two before Makoto tries to break the ice. "A-as you can tell, this Pichu is a very special Pokemon that matters a lot to me. But what about you, Kjolmar?" he asks. "Do you have a special Pokemon like that?"
Fixed up Lancer's profile a bit and I hope GM @ADamnFiddle will be satisfied with the results. Also, am I allowed to copy my Approved submission for Master Sebastian Thompson onto the Character tab?

In the meantime, I'll start reading up on some of the others' submissions.

Peace~
@ADamnFiddle Roger. I'll just demote the NP to a weapon and use another, more characteristic item to take it's place. Also, I'll make the necessary adjustments to the parameters right away.
"Hey you, with the Pichu!"

Makoto's head immediately perked up in response. The source was a boy of about his age. "Could you send me a hand? I got in a bit over my head over here!"

took him some time to realize that this boy and his two Pokemon were engaging the two titanic Totem Pokemon at once. The Totem Raticate turns to face Makoto, causing him to wail in surprise. "Waah!"

Pichu goes on all fours and tiny Sparks of electricity start leaking from her cheek pouches. Taking this as a challenge, the enormous rodent lets out a booming battle cry. Upon hearing their leader's battle cry, all of its Ratatta cronies stopped ganging up on the other Trainer's Noibat and rushed to their leader's aid.

"Pichu, use Thunder Shock!" Pichu shot a small Ray of electricity aimed at the Totem Raticate, but before the attack could land, one of the smaller Ratatta jumped in the way and took the attack instead. "Wow, these guys are pretty loyal for a bunch of dirty rats..."

Right then, Makoto noticed that the other Trainer's Noibat was standing by behind the enemy Raticate. "Hey!" he exclaimed, trying to catch his partner's attention. "I've got the Ratatta distracted! If you're going to land an attack, I think now would be the best time!"
