Good to go.

Just realized I need to go buy stuff in a bit, so IC post will be pushed back a bit, but it should still be up in the next couple hours.

Unknown Berserker Matrix updated.

Fate/Empty Providence

In order to reach the area of Shinto that they had started off towards, a certain pair that could only be characterized by their inexperience had passed through the graveyard, the cleanest path that avoided being noticed by others.

However, in this case, that decision to head for Shinto instead of the church on a hill could only be called a mistake.

Muramasa would feel it before he saw it. The presence of a Servant. And, once he felt its presence, so too did it feel his presence. The previously-distant figure immediately grew closer, approaching at a speed that only a Servant could enter the realms of.

Something was wrong. Not the magus, but the Servant could feel that something was wrong. Horribly wrong. Transcendentally wrong. Terrifyingly wrong.

This was not the mere worry that "a powerful enemy approached". This was something that shouldn't have been possible.

Fear. It was fear, but it wasn't fear that originated in his blood as a human. His blood as a human didn't seem to feel anything wrong.

His blood as an oni, though, was screaming. Bellowing, roaring, shrieking at him.

You'll die.

You'll die.

You'll die.

Run away. Run away. Run away. This thing is wrong it's wrong it's wrong. It shouldn't exist. You cannot hope to resist this thing. You will be utterly destroyed. You will be unmade. You will be returned unto the dust from whence you came.

Slaughterer. Conqueror. No, it's too weak. How is it weak but this terrifying. What did it do how many did it cut a path through how how how---

"...oh, damn. You're not him. I felt a Servant on my way over, so I thought it might be him, but I guess not. Damn, damn, damn. That kinda pisses me off, ya know? Got my hopes up, thought I'd get to start playing with him before night."

Standing before the Master and Servant, she appeared.

Fate/Empty Providence

Alrighty, so given the issues we've had with Team Muramasa and Team Norton, a solution has been worked out with their roleplayers.

However, enacting this solution will require something a bit unorthodox.

I wish everyone luck in what is about to come.

Good to go.

@Leotamer
Limit the Gift to the species, at least for now.

Given the number of accepted characters, the IC will be up in a bit.

Apotheosis

@Moonlit Sonata So maybe a Gift related to "Lava" in some sense would at the start at Goblin-level simply grant the wielder a "Minor Earth Affinity" as well as a "Minor Fire Affinity" perhaps?

@Holy Grail

Sure. Obviously each affinity will be weaker than if you just decided to go for fire or earth alone.

Apotheosis

@JaceBeleren
People will probably be annoyed by him having a six syllable name but listen to your heart, I guess. Keep in mind my prior comments on the Gift, but you're good to go.

@Moonlit Sonata Also, is there such a thing as a "Volcanic" or "Lava" affinity?

@Holy Grail

That would be more akin to cross-applying earth and fire than a standalone thing, at least for the majority of beings.

Apotheosis

EDIT: Instead of a general "better at magic" Gift, i do something different altogether. What about a Gift that allows her to bend and move earth and earthen substances (such as dirt, stone, metal, or sand) with her will? Something like "Earthbending" from ATLA (but without having to make physical movement), and while also obviously limited by the strength of her soul since she is just a Goblin?

@Holy Grail

That's fine.

Rekzild

Name: Rekzild

Gender: Male

Appearance: He is a goblin, with all the ’gorgeous’ physical qualities that such a creature would have. In other words a four foot tall, horrendous looking and sickly green critter.

Personality: Rekzild is not a social butterfly, or perhaps moth given the appearance of his race, he would rather find himself in the company of the books he has collected than with other Goblins. The chitchatter of mundane conversation bores him, though there are a couple Goblins he doesn’t mind dropping by. As mentioned he is a collector of books, and while he can currently only read those written in the Goblin tongue he does have some written by humans that he hopes to read one day. He has a rudimentary moral compass, but there are few things he won’t resort to if needed to obtain a new book. In addition he attends the major gatherings of the village for the sole purpose of writing down the oral stories told, helping him grow his collection. While protective of his books he does let the other Goblins read them, so long as they stay within his line of sight.

(Of course most of this will only apply once he has started his collection. He naturally won’t have one at the start since he will be a newborn.)

Past Life History: Ryan Kurhajetz was an average everyday librarian. There really wasn’t anything special about him. He had a wife he loved dearly, two kids that he adored and a nice little house. He was the perfect picture of a run of the mill guy. The one thing that made him “stick” out was his memory, which was excellent. It helped greatly with his job, he could return every book to its proper place without issue. He lived until the ripe old age of 67 before passing away in his sleep just a week after his wife.

Gift: Enhanced Memory- At the start Rekzild simply has an excellent memory, rarely forgetting a face or voice etc etc. One advantage of this will be allowing him to recall the oral stories if he can’t write them down fast enough. The first step of development after the initial stage will lead to an eidetic memory.

Other: Nothing of note as of now.

@Malchivo

Good to go.

Right now I am thinking about joining. The idea of the character is a red-skinned goblin who can locate anything, some long as that anything bleeds, and he has the blood of the previously mentioned anything (In simple terms, if he has somethings blood, or he has injested something blood in the past 24 hours, he can locate it. If it split into multiple pieces, he is drawn towards the largest piece, or the largest gathering of smaller pieces.)

The only reason I didn't post a CS is that I don't yet have a personality and a background, so it would be simpler to just ask if that would would be ok.

@Leotamer

It should be kept in mind that, at least initially, the Gift will be pretty bad. Something like what you've described is a no-go. It would probably start off as either an enhanced sense of smell or a low-level Blood Affinity, and whether he becomes full shark/bloodhound would depend on how he trains it and evolves.

Apotheosis

There's no real point to either. Magical energy's pretty much omnipresent in the world, and unless you're humanity's greatest magician casting something capable of leveling a landscape, you're never going to be like "damn I'm out of magical energy". Magic's more akin to a school of research than anything else; ability in magic is fostered by understanding, not by having lots of magical energy around.

There's lots of air around me and outside of very specific circumstances, I'm not gonna be needing more air than there is around me. At the same time, having a fuckton of air around me doesn't mean my breathing form gets better. I've gotta learn how to use my diaphragm and shit for that.
