Seems to be dead, isn't it?

Genjutsu just like Telekinesis and Mind Magic in an RP all share one very specific flaw. They cannot be "dodged". It is incredibly hard to play a character which targets the minds of others. Roleplaying Genjutsu is a chore to write and go up against, and also remember that even though the characters in this RP are supposed to be above average, they are still genin. Low level Genjutsu doesn't do much against most enemies we would face and high level Genjutsu are a complete hit or miss. Either they kill your brain, or your enemy sees through them. It is an incredibly static way of fighting, which is why the Sharingan has -so many abilities-. The Byakugan actually makes sense, it is a visual jutsu which works like a filter that helps the user see things that are otherwise hidden. The sharingan is all over the place.
Playing a genjutsu character would get dull for you very fast since almost every single "Mind magic" technique is always "Plot No Jutsu". You look at your enemy, they go ape shit, you walk away. It's not the most satisfying situation. Also, genjutsu is rather cheap overall. You clash blades with your enemy, it doesn't work...so you look at them very intently and they fall over.
Role playing Genjutsu takes a lot of skill to manage properly.
To be honest, I think Genjutsu is managable if you use it among other elements. Going pure Genjutsu would be hard yes, but using it supportive/in combination with other skills makes it useable with ease imo.
@Ploxerdon
While the Uchiha may be banned, OC Clans can be made to fill up the gap but my creative juices aren't working atm so I aint making a new clan or bloodline anytime soon.
I wouldn't have a single problem with creating a new genjutus/bloodline based around genjutsu, its more like I don't feel spending 1-2 hours on a proper character, just to end up not being able to join due to the limited slots situation :')
@Shard
Okay dokes, I can just make a focused-Taijutsu character then. Although its sucks that I have to make an entirely whole character, I'll get it done soon.
(Genjutsu is too confusing to use as an entire build lol)
I agree, especially when one of the best genjutsu clans is banned lol
Well, tbh... I'm gonna drop out in that case.
I'm not planning on creating another character to end up being rejected since there is only one spot left, thus only having about 50% chance to be accepted... waste of time.

Tsk, Tsk. Making that guess without even knowing the other Servants. For all you know I could have one that senses life in a five mile radius, has Heracale's regeneration Noble Phantasm, and can block magical bullets. :p
Trust me, the combo would be too powerfull.
Had a fun idea though: How about roleplaying as masters at first, and actually include the summoning of the servant etc in the roleplay? That would add in some fun character development.
Added a list of shit that Toko is trying to invent because...fun times.
Also, Artifact, Jay and I are going to discuss your character along with Ploxerdon's and see what we can agree on.
Another option is to keep the one not chosen as back-up in case somebody has to drop out?

So. Tangled with super powers...Oh dear.

Sniper rifles in a castle? And bullet enhancement. Hmmm. This should be interesting. I foresee bullets travelling through walls.
If my servant and master would be combined, the game would be over in 1 hour estimated.
Which is exactly why teams are randomized :P
