  • Name: Saotome Hana
  • Age: 24
  • Appearance: "Y-You mean I have to do something?"
  • Personality: There are those who don't achieve great things because they don't have the ability or the opportunity to. Then there are those, like Hana, who wouldn't do great things simply because that would require work. It's fair to say that it probably hasn't always been that way and in the end, Hana has no confidence in her abilities to do much of anything, but at this point the ingrained laziness is itself a habit and way of life. Unnecessarily exerting herself when she could sleep in then maybe watch some TV, or think really hard about what to have for dinner?
    Really, from that perspective, summoning a Servant is the worst mistake of her life... famous historical figures aren't likely to be content with Hana's desire to just stay home and avoid trouble, or squandering of the talent and intelligence that she has.
  • Abilities: Hana would like to pretend that she has no abilities and is the dead end for what was once a proud magus family and the crest on her arm is a tacky tattoo. But, this place... people just love to throw out terms like "average one", whatever the hell that means, or if it's important. It's way nicer to pretend that the tattoo on your arm is just a tattoo, not a library of impressive ways to kill people when you're the battery.
  • History: As her name indicates, Hana's family is hardly the most prestigious of magus families--their distant routes lost and barely distinguishable from the general populace of Japan, even though she's pretty sure her father said something about west Asia. Only the eyes really stand out as odd. Of course, such a loss of the past could only be expected with a gradual decline of magical talent through the generations, to parents that could barely count as mages at all, working office jobs of all things...
    And Hana? Never really good at work, let alone the pressures of entrance exams, wound up in the position of doing pretty much nothing. As certain as her parents that she was about as magical as kelp, the offer to stay in a nice, new city--at their expense! Though not the priciest, but definitely cheaper than home...--for the small cost of trying to do that "Servant summoning" thing? Yeah, that seemed great. Do something that would never work and she'd at least have some time not being bothered to get into a university, or find a job, or get married, or...
    It didn't quite go to plan.

Between Tristram and Finn it was clear that there was nothing on the path, no clear signs of animals... which could be considered rather strange, as hadn't it been a hunter that found this church? But with better knowledge of the woods, there did seem to be a trail off this path--little used, and obviously one that was forged by animals rather than the passage of humans like the path that lead here. If there was anywhere that the hunter would logically have been following to find some sort of prey, it would stand to reason that it was down that trail...

Even though there seemed to be a lack of anything that made it.
Righty ho, I shall be posting here tomorrow. Sorry to anyone I've kept waiting.
- I can drop Rosy-Cheeked down to C if the issue is rank. There doesn't really seem to be an exact anecdote required for it, since neither Alexander or Gilgamesh (child) have any particular info that says "Only they have it" or "They have it because of this." Generally seems to be a "Cute kid" kinda deal.


Gil and Alexander also both have Charisma. Alexander it notes hasn't grown into his adult Charisma yet, but the skill covers it.

Ko-Gil has it at a lower rank but still has the overwhelming Charisma that he has as an adult.

  • Name: Kaguya-hime
  • Class: Caster
  • Appearance: This appearance may be familiar.
  • Personality: The demure but aloof princess. She cares not for humanity in general, finding them to be boorish and too easily swayed by her charms, but those who prove their moral standing or do something with no concern for the reward or pleasing a beautiful princess are exposed to a much warmer side, the "ideal daughter" of the bamboo cutter. She seems to delight in collecting oddities entirely for their own sake, but has enough restraint to not go rifling through every curio shop that shows up for something interesting.
    With her life having spent mostly at home, she's secretly eager to do something more exciting, even if not sure how.
  • Stats:
    • Strength: A
    • Endurance: C
    • Agility: A
    • Mana: C
    • Luck: C
    • Noble Phantasm: A
  • Class Skills:

    • Item Construction: C. Rather than a case of limited specialisation, it is better to say that Kaguya is simply "following a recipe". If the instructions or method she copies are better, then so will the end result be.
    • Territory Creation: B. Creation of a workshop becomes possible. Though in the modern day, it might be more appropriate to say a server room...?
  • Personal Skills:

    • Clairvoyance: EX. Access to a complete repository of knowledge on the past and the present; although something about the situation seems to be interfering with many answers regarding the island?
    • Moonlit Beauty: A. Possessed of an unearthly beauty from birth, Kaguya cannot help but charm those who see her. Love at first sight and attempts at marriage are almost expected, and even those uninterested in such things or not taken in find wanting to destroy such beauty a challenge.
    • True Ancestor: B-. Nature as an Elemental born in the image of the Moon, giving Marble Phantasm as an ability and the Curse of Restoration; even as a Servant, albeit far more limited by mana, Kaguya will regenerate to the same base state if not thoroughly killed. Even now, a substantial amount of her strength is devoted to limiting the vampiric impulse that otherwise comes with this state, and all parameters are ranked down. On the flip side, she still strengthens with the moon, and at full moon this is entirely cancelled out.
    • Vampirism: D. Kaguya would gain no more mana than a human would in such a situation, but her bite alone does have the potential to spread vampirism itself.
  • Noble Phantasm(s):
    • Name: Five Impossible Requests
    • Rank: C (EX in the system of the Moon Cell)
    • Type: Anti-Unit
    • Appearance: A crystalline branch with white jewels; a much more colourful round gem, the clothes that Kaguya is wearing; an unremarkable stone bowl, and a pretty sea shell.
    • Effects: The impossible requests that Kaguya set her prospective suitors--theoretically attainable, yet something that would never be brought to her, and gathered by herself as a hobby.
      The first is the Buddha's Stone Bowl. One might assume that a bowl is quite useless, but the bowl's original size is great--and it can be expanded to that full size immediately, and due to its holy nature almost cannot be destroyed. Aside from that... it's but a bowl.
      The second request was the Jewelled Branch from the island of Hourai--albeit, this "island" is rather the Moon itself. On Earth it has no ongoing effect but to symbolise Kaguya's other connection with the moon, but within the Moon Cell itself it would be possible to hand over as a "key" transferring administrative power over SE.RA.PH. However, on summoning, it did re-copy Kaguya's lunar counterpart into her earthly body--not that said counterpart has been required to do anything. In short; it made sure both the Moon Cell and Throne of Heroes versions of Kaguya are synchronised.
      The third request was for a robe made of the fur of the fire rat. It could be considered inaccurate to call this one item; rather, the impossibly fine clothing describes an entire wardrobe. When immersed in fire, the robe only comes out all the more lustrous for a time--and both it and its wearer remain unharmed. Being fireproof is sometimes useful.
      The fourth, the dragon's throat jewels, have the principle of gathering, and the one kept in Kaguya's possession is set to accumulate mana. In effect, the mana gathered by this jewel is enough to effect an A-rank of Independent Action--though rather than not having the skill, it simply operates as a back-up battery that has charged itself.
      The final request is but a simple seashell, beautiful, but oddly placed in a swallow's nest of all places. As part of the set, and Kaguya-hime's Noble Phantasm, it gives its owner the ability to charm birds; passively, she cannot help but attract them and gather their interest, but used actively it can magically compel them. But in the end, they are only birds.

    • Name: Elixir of Life - Lunar Gift
    • Rank: A
    • Type: Personal
    • Appearance: Looks like water...
    • Effects: A reward given for those who chose to help Kaguya even when it was time to return to the moon, a perfect medicine crafted with all the knowledge from the Age of Gods. The amount that Kaguya has is limited, even upon being summoned, but it has all the effects that one would ascribe to such a panacea: eternal life without the curse of vampirism and the healing of all injuries and illnesses. If used by a Servant, it would incarnate them in a physical body--though as ever, mana would still be required to use abilities.
      Quiet volatile; if set on fire it would burn forever.
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Changes: Kaguya-hime is an alien from the moon... which has one logical conclusion in this. Specifically, however, after an exciting period of time in which the moon itself was killed, information from the supposedly dead white titan filtered back to the Moon Cell, and all True Ether disappeared from the world, the Moon Cell undertook action to check its own functions were undamaged by the ramifications of the first two and to assess the accuracy of current observations given the apparent large changes.
    Thus, a new True Ancestor was selected as a host for an AI of the Moon Cell, and this was the "alien" that would be recorded in history as Kaguya-hime. Both an observer and a backup for important data, her unusual connection with the moon left her apart from her actual race and more interested in humanity.
    Rather than succumb to the increasing bloodlust, with the Moon Cell's actions complete and the observations corroborated, Kaguya-hime's mind transferred itself to the moon and her body into an endless sleep.
This is not transferred. Maybe something will be. Maybe it will not. I do not know.

If anyone is stuck please say, yeah.
Just confirming, only Finn is actually looking for anything in the forest and everyone else is happy to talk about the scenery? Lol.
Royal Road to Walverrest


The good news was that Neffy had found where the patrol along this stretch of road had gotten to by rushing off into the treeline. The bad news was that Neffy had found where the patrol was. Going through the bushes and into the treeline, the woodland opened up a little, and the signs of recent passage were obvious. Amongst the trees there were the signs of what was probably a temporary camp: cooking gear was set up, there were some tents, armour and weapons, soldiers...

But the cooking gear was still set up, with a few bits of leftovers. The armour and weapons were just piled--obviously broken, discarded junk of no particular use any more. The tents were equally broken. As for the soldiers, what was left could either be described as "stripped to the bone" or part of the leftovers.
Gnomes weren't banned; the abilities you gave to them were. TL;DR: crafting is the main source of items. We have one character who specialises in that already. That sort of ability is basically saying "because you don't want to play an ugly midget, fuck you, you're worse".
