Fate/Solipsistic Chaos (Interest Check)

@Dezuel I don't think I've ever seen a Rider who didn't have a horse/chariot/something else that they could summon. I agree with your point about not needing to be a Rider to have the riding skill, in fact most knights have decent Riding skills without being in the Rider class (it's actually a Class skill of Sabers as well), though not being in the Rider class does limit what they can do with this skill. But a Rider who doesn't have anything to ride strikes me as odd.

Usually to be summoned in a class you would need to met the prerequisites or that class; you can't be a Caster without being able to cast a few spells, you can't be a Saber without a sword and, I would assume, you can't be a Rider without a mount. That said I'm not sure whether the prerequisite for being a Rider is having a mount or just having a high Riding skill, since I think Lancer Arthoria's profile says something to the effect of "This rank is high enough to have aptitude for the Rider Class" despite not having a mount Noble Phantasm.

I'll create a proper profile later, I'm at work at the moment, but I'm planning on using Gawain as my Servant.

@Dezuel doesn't a Servant need some kind of mount Noble Phantasm to be summonable as a Rider?

Fate/Solipsistic Chaos (Interest Check)

@floodtalon I spent some time reading through the wiki pages on magecraft and related materials. Its... confusing, but I have a general idea of how it all works. Unfortunately the wiki has a lot of information on how magecraft works from a lore perspective and very little in the way of examples of what mages can actually do.

As far as Servants go I'll probably just use an existing one, unless I think of a hero I really want to use.

Fate/Solipsistic Chaos (Interest Check)

I'm tempted to join this. Whether or not I do will probably be dependent on whether I can come up with a Master; I really don't know much about how magic works in the Fate universe.

@Reflection will this be a standard war with 7 master/servant pairs? The top post mentioned masters being made en mass so I wasn't sure.

Oberon was glad to see that his spell had worked and that Digbie was back to his old self; there were still a lot of things about this world that he didn’t understand but it seemed that a headache was close enough to a status ailment that his spell was able to cure it. That raised some questions about whether this spell would work as a catch-all fix for any kind of ailment; he already knew it worked to remove poisons but maybe he could cure even diseases or disabilities once it was strong enough. For now though it was enough just to know that it worked for what he needed it to.

Digbie began throwing rocks towards the approaching torches, but judging from how far away the lights still seemed to be it was unlikely the Goblin was managing to hit anything at this range. The rocks seemed to be glowing with a strange light as Digbie released them from his hand, not as bright as the light of a Mana Orb but still undoubtedly magical in nature; Oberon let curiosity get the better of him and used Magic Analysis to observe the effect as Digbie threw the second and third stone.

“I’ve already given a shield to everyone I could find; the others all spread out to intercept the Goblins I think. I’ll stay with you for now. Take this as well.” Reaching out a hand Oberon cast another Shield I spell on Digbie while attempting to use nature mana as he had before.

It was a surprise when Mourningstar suddenly spoke up from somewhere above their heads, but a welcome one. He hadn’t expected to see the Wisp again so soon and after how their last meeting had gone he was glad to see she was okay. As the Wisp flew off Oberon quickly said something to the Goblin before flying off after her. “I think she’s right Digbie. Wait until they get closer.”

Oberon caught up to Mourningstar after she had finished firing at the Goblin’s and had already flown back towards them. He hovered next to her and cast another Shield I using nature mana on the Wisp. “Don’t go too far forward. If we stick together we can watch each other’s back.”

The Hunters Club

As soon as Sora caught up with the others he found himself being made the centre of attention as they began to ask him questions. He supposed that wasn’t too unusual; as he had already guessed it seemed like a few of the others really had no idea about any of this stuff before today. Since he had made a few comments that made it seem like he knew some of this already he shouldn’t be surprised they’d ask him questions.

“Yeah, I knew some of this stuff already. The powers are new, but the part about yōkai being real or the part where I’m descended from one I already knew about from my mom; she’s the same as me after all.” Slipping his hands into his pockets Sora slowed down to a walk now that he was caught up. “I’ve been able to see things others couldn’t for as long as I can remember, and as a kid I wasn’t quiet about it. I guess my parents decided I needed to know what was going on so that I could hide it from others; that’s really all it is. They told me what I can see and what I am; anything else I know I learned on my own.”

Honestly, it was more surprising that more of them didn’t know what was going on. Weren’t their parents descended from yōkai like they were, shouldn’t at least one of them know what their kid was going through and be able to explain it to them? Maybe these abilities didn’t always show themselves, like it skipped a generation or it was more than just blood that was needed. “Is this really new to all of you? None of you had any clue about all of this before today? What did you think those things you saw were?”

The Pokémon World League

Samantha caught the folder that was slid down the table at her by placing a hand over it before turning her attention back to Alex. As someone who had never paid much attention to what the league did during her travels she was interested to see if it did more than just battles and contests; not that there was anything wrong with either of those events, her own disinterest in contests aside, battling was her wheelhouse after all and she loved it. But Samantha had always enjoyed taking part in those eclectic little events that existed all around the world whether they were local traditions, festival games or something bigger; if taking part in the league meant missing out on those kinds of events then she was going to be sorely disappointed.

So it was that as Alex continued to hand out the assignments a small smirk slid into place on Samantha’s face when she heard that there were going to be both a strongman competition and a relay race in the very first event. In all honestly, she had always thought the league was just a place where the trainers with a little more flair got snapped up for sponsorship deals, and while that may still turn out to be true she was glad to hear that they at least took part in a diverse range of competitions; land races like that one she took part in in Kanto or a water race like that one Gym leader in the Orange Islands liked to do, and although she had never taken part in a strongman competition that only meant that the league held events that she had yet to experience.

When their team captain was done Sam finally flipped open the folder to see her opponent’s photo staring back at her. Alex wasn’t wrong when he called him ‘jacked’ and she had to admit that Cassius Frasier was a pretty cool sounding name but at the end of the day her opponent’s looks didn’t really make much of a difference; no matter how intimidating the guy might be he wasn’t the one she had to beat. It was his Pokémon she had to worry about and looking at this team? She was going to be fine.

From his muscles and scars Sam had expected Cassius to be the kind of guy who focused on strength, but instead his team was made up of Pokémon known for their bulk and their high defence. This was pretty much the antithesis of Samantha’s own battling style which would probably make for a pretty interesting match come the day she had to face this guy.

Scanning through his team again she compared it to her own, considering strengths, weaknesses and type match-ups before coming to a quick decision on which four Pokémon she would use for this battle and closed the folder. There was more information she had yet to read and Alex had mentioned something about tapes of previous battles, but this was likely to be the last time Sam looked at the folder or anything to do with her opponent until the day of the event. Battles were supposed to be fun, you weren’t supposed to overthink it and you definitely weren’t supposed to do homework for them. It was probably due to this attitude that Samantha had never won any of regional leagues she had taken part in. Not that this mattered much to her; Sam had always been someone who sought out experiences rather than accolades.

Leaning back in her chair and linking her hands behind her head Samantha looked across the table at the man who had just mentioned food. “I could eat.”

“So much for being discreet.” It might not be as flashy as throwing lightning bolt but a student leaping out of a second storey window was sure to garner some attention should anyone still be around to see it; maybe their club captain should’ve spent some more time going over the basics before throwing them in the deep end like this.

A couple of the other students had already left in a hurry, while another made enough of a show about his slow exit that it was clear he was inviting others to join him. Sora meanwhile still wasn’t sure if he was going to stick around for this club; he didn’t care about powers when he had no use for them and he didn’t care about finally finding camaraderie when his uniqueness hadn’t prevented him making friends back home. He did, however, care about the risk to innocent people; regardless of his callous words earlier he did care about that. The only thing holding him back was not knowing whether or not he could trust that this club was actually what it claimed to be.

This little test in the park was something he could stick around for though. It would be a chance to get an idea what kind of threat they were dealing with and whether or not he would even be able to do anything about it. If he didn’t like what he saw, there was always the option of quitting and going back home.

Hurry out of the classroom Sora quickly caught up with the two students who had just left; if he was going to do this, he might as well get to know his fellow club members, temporary though they may be.

_{League Information}

_Specialty

As far as traditional specialties go Samantha is mostly only interested in the battling side of training. Contests might be fun to watch but the amount of planning and precision that goes into being a coordinator does not mesh well with Samantha’s more impulsive battle style.

However Samantha is willing to try any kind of event once and loves to put her Pokémon’s skills to the test in more unusual competitions such as races, obstacle courses or sports. In her extensive worldly travels Samantha has visited every region that has a name worth knowing and more than a few that don’t. As such she has seen and taken part in a number of events that only exist in certain places; Alola and the Orange Island are particularly interesting in this way as they do not have Gyms like other regions do and instead challenge trainers in other ways.

_Flair

While Samantha tries to make concessions to ensure that her team is somewhat balanced there is no denying that her battling strategy leans more towards the aggressive and unpredictable. Using the battle experience that she gained from competing against a wide variety of trainers Samantha likes to keep things at a fast pace, putting the pressure on her opponent to keep them on the back foot and unable to build up any momentum.

Though she hasn’t been a trainer for very long compared to others in just a short amount of time Samantha has made a name for herself all around the world, but not in the usual way. Some trainers are world renowned because of one great accomplishment that spreads around the world; Samantha is world renowned because she has made herself known everywhere. She has appeared in competitions the world over, from regional league finals to smaller, local events.

_{Final Notes}

Samantha’s inclusion on the team is likely to only be until the end of the current competitive season; due to her wanderlust it is unlikely she will want to stay on the team long enough to compete the following year.
