Fate/Empty Providence

Longinus:

Piety can increase Magic Resistance, but in Longinus's case since you're saddling him with the status of killing the messiah, that'd cause a degradation. This is doubly true since he's in the Lancer class rather than, say, Saber or Ruler.

With curses I mean:

In this modern fantasy setting, curses can't be broken. A curse that has already taken effect will never disappear. The only way to release yourself from it is to transfer it into someone else. Thus, the term "Kaiju (Transfer Curse)" is used. It's not a misspelling. Kaiju (Release Curse) is a rare trait on the same level as demon exorcism. Since it entails erasing human destiny, well... to be blunt, it's the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Mahoyo

Curing a curse is something on the level of True Magic, so you can't do that. Curing poisons and similar status ailments? A-Okay, but curses are another animal altogether.

Mitsuki:

Neither Shirou nor Kiritsugu have their Origins awakened. They are aware of their Origins, but that's different to having it awakened.

You can have her be aware of her Origin and maybe have a Mystic Code or a spell aligned to it if you justify it properly. Something like the effects you've given her is a no-no since that's the sort of capacity she wouldn't have unless she's been researching and training for a couple centuries.

It's fine that she's thirteen, I'm just a bit baffled by why she'd leave the Clocktower and fly to a deathmatch in Japan at that young of an age. Like, she will have to be directly involved in murdering people and has very high odds of getting killed. It's fine, she can be hella irrational, but yeah.

She's still using it for transport, so I'd recommend using another method to avoid a Touko lawsuit.

In that case, clarify what her Herbalism and Alchemy kits contain as far as what she can make with them.

On healing, clarify the method of healing, like does it just speed up the body's natural regen or what.

Longinus:

You'll have to use a different telling of the story than the eternal torment one, as otherwise he's ineligible since he straight up doesn't die in that version. This also means you'll have to remove Battle Continuation, but you'd have to remove Battle Continuation either way since "being cursed to keep healing so he's punished forever" isn't how you qualify for that.

Justify CON.

MR to C, I'll allow you to argue for B if you're persuasive enough.

HP recovery does not include the removal of curses, as the removal of curses is the rewriting of human destiny and something on par with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Keep in mind the instakill option will require a LCK check.

Mitsuki:

Why would the Association care about some crazy guy who's trying to do impossible things?

If her Origin is awakened she will not be capable of functioning as a human. Her "everything" will be consumed by the Origin. See Lio.

Individuals who awakened their Origins would be consumed. This was due to a "personality" being something merely on the magnitude of one hundred years; it would be overwritten by the directional force born from the origin. However, humans (human bodies) who were overwritten by their Origins would acquire great powers.

KnK

Why is a literal thirteen year old flying to Japan for a fight to the death?

Explain Witchcraft since there are several kinds. Same for healing. Touko Travel's patented and I wouldn't recommend getting into a lawsuit with Touko.

As stated, you can't have her Origin be awakened and also have her have anything resembling a human mind, so everything except the passive of "high od capacity" has to go. Moreover, it won't be inhuman, it will only be high by human standards.

Fate/Empty Providence

@Moonlit SonataI saw this game pop up and I find it interesting so far. I only saw Fate Stay Night and Fate Zero. If there were anymore, I didn't keep up with it. I have a servant in mind, and I think he would be a caster I suppose. But we'll see when I develop him.

I'll have to learn more about Masters because the fact they have powers is still foreign to me. I remember Shiro's power but that's it.

@Holy Soldier

The Fate/series contains about ten or so things besides Stay Night and Zero, not counting the other creations of the same setting. At any rate, you don't need to have read everything, but if you're fairly inexperienced in the setting then please don't hesitate to ask questions.

For making a Master, I recommend referring to this for guidance, and asking me if you have any questions. As a rule of thumb, don't use the Type-Moon wiki, it's awful.

Demon (Terror), Shinto Streets

@Breo @ConstantlyComic

What...is that?

Prana began to coalesce around Siegfried's blade. No, no, that was wrong. This was not the magical energy of the modern day, this was the magical energy from an age that had passed. Moreso than anything previously, the demon's terror reached a peak. It froze in the air, hanging there lifelessly as though it was immobilized by fear, unable to even make an effort to avoid the arc of twilight that swept through the air towards it.

What is that name you screamed? That is the radiance. That is the undercurrent. Strong. Too strong, too strong, too strong.

I want to live. Save me. Save me. Dying is terrifying. Dying is wrong. Why are you not acting, why are you not blocking the light, why are you not opening the gate, why are you not gouging out his heart why are you not saving me please i will serve i will obey the owner of the black capital i want to live do not do not let me die don't want this cannot be made temporary save me save me save me---

The light engulfed the demon as it screamed in a wordless language. Its repulsion strained against the new onslaught that wore against it, but was nonetheless pierced through.

And when the light had faded, the being it had slain had vanished with it.

Little else needed to be said.

Unknown Berserker, Ryuudou Temple

"...Berserker? What's wrong? Did something happen to the demon?"

"Ehe...ehehe, you could say that. Poor little thing's been wiped off the map."

"Wiped off the...I thought that was supposed to be the best one at surviving!"

"Hm? Course it is. That doesn't mean it's able to take a holy sword's light head-on. Defense enough to withstand its repulsion field and a holy sword that can smash through its defenses. Not bad. Pity it had to be Terror and not one of the ones that can actually understand language. Can't make heads or tails of what it thought the sword's name was."

"I...see. If he has that sort of nature, then it's best Archer takes care of him before he recovers from the Noble Phantasm's usage. I'll send word to-"

"If that prick kills him then I'll turn him into a pincushion. I've decided. This guy, seems like a fun one to make scream. He's my prey."

And while Siegfried stood victorious against his enemy, a Servant steeped in madness could only laugh at the thought of the days to come.

Fate/Empty Providence

Either send them to me or post here in the OOC. The Characters tab is just for approved characters.

Fate/Empty Providence

I realize that I am quite late... but is this Forum still accepting newcomers? I have several Servant and Master Character Sheets already drafted out so that won't be an issue, but I'm worried whether or not there is still a spot left for me to wedge myself into ^^

@XmasForYule

Masters can still be applied. For Servants, only Lancers and Casters can be applied.

Fate/Empty Providence

Alright, so we've got Team Siegfried fighting the demon, team Chi You going back to their base, Team Norton just got made, Team Muramasa chatting, Team Odysseus Church-ing, Team Yukimura and Team Illuminati are done for the night. I'm not sure what Teams Rostam and Cao Cao are up to (@Beloss @Holy Grail @Psyker Landshark @Cu Chulainn).

So, given that, we'll likely be transitioning to Day Two once Siegfried's fight is finished (which should be relatively soon) and Team Odysseus has gone to the church. Ergo, expect that change in the next few days.

Fate/Empty Providence

Ruler, Church Interior

@DrowsyPangolin

Ruler mused to himself for a handful of seconds before coming to a conclusion. "Given that, were it not for the third-party's interference you would still have a Servant, I suppose I can allow the summoning to occur here. Exit the church and make the necessary precautions directly outside, such as a magic circle and a Bounded Field to prevent detection from any civilians. I will allow something of this nature given the occasion." He explained, sunglasses being placed back onto his face as he spoke. "However, once the Servant has been summoned, preferential treatment like this will no longer apply, of course."

After speaking, Ruler let out a quiet sigh, his mind going to the matters of the other Servants. He would need to call that freak in to discuss this; after all, while this seemed like the work of a third-party, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it had just been one of their pets that did this.

All in due time, he supposed.

Demon (Terror), Shinto Streets

@Breo @ConstantlyComic

Falling back, he was falling back, and yet he didn't seem to be abandoning the conflict. The demon let out an almost raucous scream, a harsh buzz as its wings flared up again. While it couldn't be certain what the enemy was doing, it knew that given his speed and aptitude for repositioning, it couldn't match him in his retreat. Chasing him would only allow him to shift the tide of the conflict to being on his terms.

As a result, it had decided on a different approach: it would return to the sky. Yes, even if Siegfried was an exemplary Servant, were he to launch an attack on the airborne demon, he would unquestionably be at a disadvantage. He could certainly leap up to the demon's height, but at that point his maneuverability would become nil while the demon's would be unfettered. And were he to take the opportunity to flee with his Master while the demon wasn't pressuring him? That human contracted to him would be in grave danger were he to move at his maximum speed, while the demon had the advantage of being in the air and not being shackled by some weak flesh-thing.

Of course, the demon's thought process was not anything so intricate. It had merely escaped to the air out of fear for what Siegfried was planning. Buzzing morosely in the air, it simply moved in Marguerite's direction, poising itself over her body as it hung in the sky. Like this, it awaited its enemy's next move.

Fate/Empty Providence

Ruler, Church Interior

@DrowsyPangolin

An odd expression, an almost strained smile appeared on Ruler's face in response to Ernest's reaction. No, he could not say that he had been surprised by the magus's decision, not in the slightest. He also couldn't disdain that sort of choice; were Ruler himself in the lad's position, then he would certainly have charged headlong back into the war. At the same time as that sort of surrogate pride welled in his chest, though, he couldn't help but feel a slight pang of guilt, that by telling Ernest that he could reenter the war, he was in all likelihood sending the boy to his death.

"The Holy Grail's situation in this instance is...different, than it should be. Fundamentally it should have the capability to summon seven Servants, and potentially an exception such as myself. In this case, though, the magical energy that it has accumulated is sufficient to completely overturn that, likely the result of modifications made by those who call themselves this land's Second Owners. I'm no magus, so that sort of thing is outside of my knowledge; all I have to go off of is the gut instinct to such things that the Grail provides me with." Ruler explained. A hand reached up to remove his sunglasses, clear blue irises blinking twice as they were exposed to the light. "In other words, the general limit on Servants and class restrictions don't apply. Even I don't know how many Servants this Grail could manifest, but it shouldn't be more than...say, twenty, as the most liberal estimate. The number of Servants who have been summoned thus far is well below that."

"More importantly, though, is you. After all, while your Servant has perished, you still possess the right to be a Master." He remarked, calling to mind the Command Seals that Ernest still possessed, faded and grey that they were. "In other words, it should be possible to summon another Servant. Ordinarily, a Master summoning multiple Servants should be impossible, but the Grail is more...indiscriminate than it should be, as if it wants this war to be as chaotic as possible while still retaining some reason. If you attempted a summoning ritual and were to use one of those Command Seals as a spark, then while I can't be certain, you may be able to summon a Servant."

Fate/Empty Providence

Demon (Terror), Shinto Streets

@Breo @ConstantlyComic

A harsh keening noise emanated out from the demon as Siegfried managed to step out of the range of its attacks, though one of them managed to strike against the edge of Balmung and-

Ah, no, that wasn't what happened at all. Rather, the claw that had been warded off by Balmung never even struck it, instead stopping just before touching the blade. Was it because the demon had stopped itself before its attack had connected, or was it because that repulsive field of it worked both ways like two identical magnets, and it was just short of the physical strength needed to overcome its own ability? Regardless, the attack failed to connect with Balmung, though the sheer repulsive force at that proximity was enough to send shudders through the blade. At that distance, even swinging his sword in the direction of the enemy's attack would be nearly impossible.

Nonetheless, in spite of the fact that it possessed four "weapons" with which to attack compared to Siegfried's one, the fact that he had been able to avoid three of those attacks altogether was telling. Its movement speed was certainly appreciable, the descent it had initially made spoke to that much, but it seemed that when it came to fine motor control and dexterity, Siegfried was superior.

Of course, that hardly mattered if he wasn't capable of harming it in the first place.

A guttural screech leaving it, the demon continued to press forwards, limbs flying out to attack the same points that they had moments earlier. The difference was that this time, the repulsive force was in full swing from the beginning, weighing against any actions the Saber could take to move forwards; if they began at a distance then he could certainly put his full force behind his sword to swing it at the demon, as he had earlier, but at this distance he simply lacked the capability to gain enough momentum to carry the blade forward after his own strength had failed him.

In other words, unless the tide of battle changed, he would be forced into this defensive role until one side gave out.

Ruler, Church Interior

@DrowsyPangolin

So, he was the Master of that Lancer after all. Well, that was to be expected. If it had been anything else, then Ruler would have had far more cause for alarm. The Servant listened to Ernest's explanation, nodding slightly.

So Lancer had fallen in combat with something besides a Servant, then. Well, that was hardly conclusive; after all, some of those things possessed human forms, and the description of the man meant nothing to Ruler, so in all likelihood it was-

“He was... empty.”

The expression of Ruler which had gradually been slackening grew tight once more the second the words had left Ernest's mouth. Those things could certainly be described as "wrong", disgusting, impure, something that should not exist in this world. After all, they are born from the distortions and desires of the human mind, they are the materialization of mankind's wishes.

But it is precisely for that reason that the thought of calling them "empty" was utterly ridiculous.

Could the magus have been mistaken? It was a cursory glance at the figure, after all, and perhaps his observational prowess wasn't anything special. Yes, it was perfectly reasonable that what had struck Lancer down was just one of those, but between the uneasy feeling in Ruler's stomach and the description that Ernest had provided, it was altogether too troublesome.

"There is...the possibility that it is one of the beings brought to this city by another Servant. If this is the case, there is nothing I can do save to give you safe haven here until you are prepared to return to your homeland." He explained, seeming to mull the current matter over with himself as he spoke. "However, the ability to immediately overwhelm a Knight-class Servant in close quarters, the 'emptiness' that you described, those beings shouldn't be capable of that or appear like that to my knowledge. There is the chance that it could be the Noble Phantasm of another Servant, but that feels off the mark. It may be that what defeated your Lancer was something not involved with a competitor of this Grail War, and if that is the case, then such third-party interference is not something I can allow."

Letting out a slight sigh, Ruler shook his head, the now-somber demeanor flowing from him clashing horribly with his attire. "If your Servant was defeated by a third-party, then I suppose...magus, do you still desire the Holy Grail? I cannot promise that what defeated your Lancer will not come for you next, and if you reenter the war then I cannot ensure your safety, but if you desire then it may be possible for you to gain a new Servant."
