@Black KeysHmm, well I have no real qualms against the premise itself, course will still need approval but give it your best shot.

@vancexentan@unicorgi@Seirei No Hai@ERode Character sheets up for your mind's pleasure. Feel free to make it spify looking if you so desire.

Fate/Counter Force [Looking for 1-2 more players]

@vancexentan In general the age range would be 20+, unless there are some real special circumstances neither the mages or the church are going to send idiotic teenagers into battle, especially since masters aren't randomly chosen this time around.

@Black Keys I see so they are trying to find a way to control the inversion impulse in order to create their own weapon that they can control at will. Hmm well it could work, but as that character has monster blood that character certainly wouldn't be chosen as one of the masters as they would be too afraid of what could go wrong and certainly the Church wouldn't approve of that much power put together either. Of course I'd still have to approve it, but saying outright such a character will not be an eligible master.

Well I'll try to get a character sheet up tomorrow I hope, too tried tonight.

Fate/Counter Force [Looking for 1-2 more players]

Ah, this looks like something quite interesting! I have a character prepared that might be fitting for this, but I must ask before I app them... how fine are you with mixed-breeds?

@Black Keys

Just to clarify are you talking about making a character like Akiha who has Oni blood? It really kind of depends on what type of mixed-breed you're talking about. Also how dare you remind me of the days of the Black Keys...dark times indeed...

I haven't read Tsukihime but I'll throw my hat in the ring. Are our masters, and servants strictly OC's or do we summon the actual heroes? If so what's the limit on them?

@vancexentan

Tsukihime is...eh I can kinda see why a lot of people consider it the black sheep of the family but the ideas and lore inherent in the actual story is interesting. Also Kara no Kyoukai too which is great but even further removed from Fate than Tsukihime is in my opinion. Anyway, while masters will be strictly OC, servants do not have to be, technically anyone in the Throne of Heroes can appear in any reality if summoned so even though this will be an AU universe all the servants you know can appear. If you go the OC route with a servant I will have to be rather picky with them though.

As for limits there are several. Since there is no Holy Grail, despite tapping into the counter force the available magic for these servants is limited, which in turn limits the available servant pool. No extra classes will be available, only the original seven classes. Otherworldly servants like Ilya and Ryogi[who technically isn't even a servant anyway] will not be summoned. Those with completely game breaking abilities like Gilgamesh with all the world's noble phantasms or Hercules with his nine lives are too powerful to summon. Servants that are literally Gods like Artemis and Ishtar cannot be summoned. Demi-servants/Pseudo Servants will not be summoned. Alter servants are not summonable.

Do I need to know literally anything about this to join?

@unicorgi

Cool [totally historically accurate*cough cough*] summons fight along mages, church members in impractical garb with big pointy objects, to fight overpowered vampires and other beasties. Think that about covers it.

Ok there are some things you should know like what exactly a servant is but do yourself a favor and don't delve too much into the actual lore or you'll probably just confuse yourself.

Oh and apparently King Arthur was a woman. XD

Fate/Counter Force [Looking for 1-2 more players]

Fate/Counter Force

While it has Fate in the title I want this one to be more of a combination of Tsukihime and Fate. There is a whole lot more to the Nasuverse as a whole than just the fate side so I want to take advantage of it. Servants will be a part of the story but they are not the central players here. There is no Holy Grail War.

The Church's Burial Agency has had one of their sealing chambers ransacked under the cover of an earthquake and a powerful vampire, a Dead Apostle Ancestor has been unleashed upon the world once again. The church has given her the title Echidna, Mother of Monsters. This powerful vampire has been sealed for thousands of years and if left alone has the power to wipe out humanity. The burial agency is already on the case but due to the vampire's unique nature of being able to 'birth' offspring such as phantasmal beasts, they are having great difficulty in recapturing Echidna. Realizing they need more firepower the church has grudgingly reached out to the Mage's Association for assistance in their war.

Knowing that such a powerful being left on the loose could devastate the world, The Mage's Association has decided to lend their aid. Considering the threat is credible enough to bring about the end of humanity, the Mage's Association has realized that the counter force should come into play, but instead of just letting it work it's way naturally the Mage's Association has decided to try and tap into the Counter Force to control it themselves. Their hope is that they can limit the amount of damage and exposure a 'natural disaster' might cause by wielding the scalpel themselves.

The Mage Association intercepts the counter guardians with a ritual of their own and summons them as servants to do battle with the Dead Apostle Ancestor and her forces.

Basic Knowledge You Should Know

• Playable characters are Mages, Church members, and Counter Guardians/Servants
• While the Counter Guardians are contracted as servants as this is not a Grail War all servants regardless of class have independent action as a skill. Basically they can act independently.
• Those given servants have the traditional command seals to help them control the counter guardians.
• Only three servants are available as there is not enough magic to sustain any more than that.
• Servants with a Divine spirit origin, such as gods [ex. Artemis] and half-gods [ex. Gilgamesh] are not summonable.
• Don't worry if you are not too familiar with the Nasuverse as a whole, the thing's a jumbled mess anyway so just think of it as Fate but with Vampires.
• This will be a PvE roleplay, though PvP could occur if desired among individuals but PvE will always take priority.
• A Dead Apostle Ancestor is a powerful vampire that often has its own cult following. The 'servants' of such a vampire can be familiars, dead apostles[vampires], the dead, and in this particular case, magical beasts and phantasmal beasts.
• While the church is great at handling the undead, because most of their equipment is better suited for holy warfare they are having trouble with the magical and phantasmal beast. As some phantasmals are simply too strong to be killed normally, servant's noble phantasms or powerful artifacts are often needed to finish the job.

"Well there goes baldy, but I must say I have to agree time is of the essence. Now let's see, I know the bad doctor installed that little button somewhere. Ah here it is!" Erika looked around her bike's dashboard until she found the little red button underneath the wheel. With a single press, the bike suddenly grew two rockets from the side.

"Time to take down a murderer." Revving up the engine she gunned it and sped after Yang, the rockets blasting her through the sky.

---

Now there was a downside to the rockets, it was pretty hard to control and once started was almost impossible to stop, but this was actually the plan. Giving it all she got she saw Yang had managed to get there first and blinded the alien.

"Grahhh! Blast you pest!" The alien screamed but did not stop trying to prepare his attack, "I'll blast you along with the entire city!"

"Heck no you're not you dumb vegetable!" Erika jumped off the bike and the alien managed to regain just enough sight to see the police bike ram right into him. Not prepared in the least the bike rammed Dyce into the ground and exploded in a fiery inferno. The alien emerged from the blast but this time not without a scratch, the crash and the explosion had made burn marks over a good portion of his body.

"Yet another pest shows itself before me again!" Erika swore she could see a blood vessel pop on the alien's forehead as it recognized her form earlier.

"Remember to never leave a job half-done you trash!" Erika once again took her shotgun from over her shoulder and started firing. The alien smirked and tried the same little stunt he had done before but to his surprise, the shell completely blew up on impact with his hard skin, making him take back his shot up hand and start to dodge rather than attempt to deflect. "Heh, not so confident now are ya? Don't you want some more shells?" Erika kept firing until she was out of ammo and quickly started rearming herself while keeping an eye on her opponent.

"I'll incinerate you all!"

"Ya, na I highly doubt that since I don't think you'll have the time to try."

Observe the lurker, always watching but never committing to any actual commitment. A true tragedy in every sense of the word. :)

IceHeart's 1x1 Roleplay Emporium [MxF]

I love the idea for Legend of the (fake) Hero. Which of us would play which part? Personally I think either side of it could be quite entertaining.

@Loki221

Well the main thing is the [fake] hero really should be kind of a naive and foolish character who actually believes the lie so somewhat depends on if that's a kind of character you would want to play or not. As for the 'bodyguard' they could go a variety of routes for sure, knight, assassin, mage, or whatever else would probably work. I can do either, though admittedly it would probably be easier to plot pull in the correct direction using the [fake] hero as my main.

Either works however. Pick the role and gender and I'll do the opposite.

Ok, bring this ice box back up from Davy Jones locker! Hmm I really need to think of some more ideas to add a bit of spice to the mix. Anyway, see ya out there!

Erika had to admit, she had wondered about the blood but without any obvious wounds she had assumed the blood had come from another source. Dang he had lost a lot of blood then, whatever mojo that old man had done was pretty effective. Course, now the old man looked like he might keel over and die at any moment.

Apparently the Crane School master wanted them to team up together, which certainly wasn't the worst idea in the world. Like with most people she met though, she had already managed to tick chrome-dome off so cooperation was probably not at the forefront of his mind at the moment. He was also being a little snot about not having to hitch a ride.

Erika looked back at the old man who had assumed a meditative stance, apparently he figured he'd be fine where he was. "Right...well I'll count on you to take care of yourself ya old raisin. By the way, since that was all your blood I guess that means I'm the only one so far that's actually managed to inflict any real damage, just food for thought." It really wasn't much of a brag though considering it had only been a light cut but they didn't know that.

She started revving up the engine when a new person appeared right in front of them, asking them out of the blue to join them to slay the dragon, or whatever. "Ok...well shut up scrawny and follow along. Before anything else happens I need to pick up some stuff. Oh look here it comes!" Erika pointed to what looked like a small jet, but turned out to be a special drone, headed straight toward Ginger Town. "Once I'm all set we can fry up some vegetables."

---

Location: Ginger Town

It didn't take very long for the group to make it into the town itself, where there were some confused citizens who had watched as a large metal drone carrying a suspicious looking package had landed on the main street. "Don't worry folks just some government business, I'm sure it won't blow up or anything." Erika looked bored as she 'assured' the people everything was safe. Quickly she cracked open the package and removed what was inside.

The good doctor had given her four syringes of healing serum, a rather strange, purple liquid that didn't look safe for consumption, and a case of enhanced bullets. The healing serum would increase her body's natural healing processes by about a hundred-fold, so in about an hour or so she would be in perfect health. Wasting no time she plunged a needle into her arm and took a shot, then placed the empty syringe back in the package.

"Hey kid, if you need a shot better take one now, otherwise I'll just be putting these things away." She said to the young man who had most recently joined the group. Next was the new shotgun shells, these had been enhanced with ki so that the shells would be able to punch through the barrier a body naturally produced with it's own ki. While normal shells were fine on most opponents the problem was that those who learned how to use Ki could protect their own bodies with it, if someone was caught off guard they could still work but as long as an opponent knew they were coming a regular bullet was like throwing a rock at a brick wall, the shells needed that bit extra to provide the penetration power to get through their defense.

Erika quickly started replacing her old shells with the new ones. "I'm sure Doctor Tread will be able to get a fix on that walking petredish." As she said that her screen lit up on the dashboard, it showed a map with a red dot showing where Dyce was heading toward next. "Oh great, it's heading right toward North Capital. We'll just have to hope it doesn't nuke the place before we can get there. Ugh, it's just not giving us any time to really come up with an actual plan besides just ganging up on the prick."

Erika Beryl finally found who she was looking for, but instead of just finding a bloodied fighter dying out on the field there was an old cloaked man and a perfectly fine looking martial artist. What the heck!? That stupid alien was gloating about how he had messed someone up and here I find him completely fine? Guess there could be another corpse around here but I doubt it as I can tell form a glance these guys know some moves."

As Erika sped on her bike toward them, the old bag-of-bones suddenly shouted something about meaning no harm to her, to which Erika had to reply. "Oh please! If anyone would be in danger it would no doubt be you morons!" Course there was little basis for that statement but it was in her nature to be confrontational with most people. It only took a few more moments before she ground to a halt nearby the two. The old man was all cloaked up so it was hard to tell what shape he was in but that polished dome-head looked to be in perfect shape.

"Sheesh, I come all the way over here cause that lima bean was bragging about crushing some fighter but here I find some muscle-head and his out-of-breathe grandpa. Well, admittedly I'm glad I won't have to be digging any graves, they'll certainly have enough of that going on in Parsley City after that monster blew it up." Erika got off her bike and took a closer look just to make sure they didn't need medical attention, but the fact was she probably needed it more than they did.

"Not sure what you guys are gonna do, but it's my duty to go after that beast. I can take ya to town if ya want and you can get help there." As she made her offer suddenly a phone line in her air-cycle started going off. With an annoyed expression she went back to her bike and picked up the receiver. "Officer Beryl speaking," She started to say until she was cut off but a loud and somewhat shrill voice.

"YOU BLOODY IDIOT! THE HECK WOULD I DO IF YOU HAD JUST OFFED YOURSELF GOING AFTER THAT MONSTER UNPREPARED! THINK OF ALL THE BLOODY TIME AND EFFORT I PUT INTO YOU OFFICER BERYL!" Erika winced and put the receiver away from her ear so she wouldn't go deaf. "Well to heck with it, you're alive I see but I'm sure you took a beating. There will be a drop-off at Ginger Town for you to pick up with some healing serum and some real ammunition. Sheesh going after a high-powered individual with normal shotgun shells, and turn on the visual so I can see your condition!"

Erika groaned but did as she was told, the screen popped on in her dashboard and middle-aged, bi-spectacled, female doctor appeared on the screen. She was thin and had sharp features, especially her eyes which looked like they could fire lasers at any moment. With red-hair and aristocratic features she certainly managed to grab attention even her her white lab coat. This woman was her 'creator' Doctor Tread.

"You look like you got the living daylights knocked out of you, which I suspect is pretty accurate for what actually happened. Well you should heal up quickly once you get a shot though, who are those two behind you?"

"Ehh, they're survivors of an attack, I think."

"They sure don't look like it."

"Ya I had the same reaction but didn't get to ask cause your sour-puss of a face just called."

"Humph, maybe they could teach you a thing or two then. Anyway, make sure you pick up that drop off before you do anything reckless."

"Ya ya, well you heard the Doc, so as you can see I'll be heading to Ginger Town first, so anyone need a lift? Or I can just leave ya out here to walk to town if you're feeling up for a hike."
