To Become a Knight! ~ A Chivalric (Mis)Adventure

Oh I've been working on stuff I just realized I haven't said anything in this thread yet sorry about that.

Fey's Shoujo/Otome Trash Can -- A few ideas for 1x1 or Small Group Fantasy Romance RPs

...Though, I guess my main worry with the Knights concept is that, even if the meme of "everybody's actually in disguise and thinks they're the only one" is pretty funny, there might be a bit too much character overlap for comfort.

@Feyblue

Eh, as fun as I'd find it I decided to try and figure out a rough concept for an actual male character. Bare in mind it's like 5:15am right now so there's a chance I'll change things later and this is very rough but still.

Knights Character Concept

Effeminately pretty apprentice mage whose ancestor was one of the greatest mages in history and thus great things are expected of him. Whilst he acts rather nonchalant and flippant about things, this is partially because he secretly doesn't think he can live up to everyone's expectations and so he'd rather goof off than actually apply himself. Despite this he is something of a prodigy and rather learned in the ways of magic, and actually kind of a big old nerd. Finds it extremely difficult to say no to a pretty face, no matter what gender they are.

Oh boy I haven't actually RP'd for a looooong time now and I really want to get back into it and these sounds like fun pitches...

I can't promise anything but tentative interest at least and we'll see how things go I guess.

If To Become a Knight gets played, I will be gravely disappointed if less than the entire main cast is actually female

@Sniblet

Also seconding this. XD

Foreigner

• Name: Kitab Al-Azif
• Class: Foreigner
• Appearance: Grimoire of the Mad Arab. Also Vita did this because she is awesome.
• Personality: A smug, haughty and conceited girl who speaks in a somewhat antiquated manner. She is extremely confident in her abilities, boasting that she is the most powerful grimoire in the world and that her understanding of the terrors that lie beyond our reality is second to none; in fact sometimes it might be difficult to tell who is the Master and who is the Servant when she's concerned. However, she notably also has a rather strong sense of self-preservation, and despite her smugness isn't exactly arrogant; if a foe seems like too much for her to take at the time she isn't hesitant to make a tactical withdrawal in order to regroup and plan for a later encounter. Even though she claims to be incredibly old and treats living humans as though they are mere children compared to her, she's actually somewhat immature and will sometimes act in ways that her apparent physical age might imply; notably, she's prone to arguing and bickering with her Master, as well as getting all huffy if things don't go her way.
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: E
  • Endurance: E
  • Agility: E
  • Mana: EX
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm: EX
• Class Skills:
  • Transcendental Existence (B)
• Personal Skills:
  • Book of Dead Names (A): As the original Necronomicon, Al-Azif is both a chronicle of the various outer gods and eldritch horrors that plague our universe and a manual for invoking their powers. Al-Azif is thus able to summon the flames of Cthugha, the freezing winds of Ithaqua, the tentacles of Cthulu, the relentless fangs of the Hounds of Tindalos... For the most part, these invocations take a form similar to high powered magecraft, although if given the appropriate time and resources she will potentially be able to summon something much more substantial.
  • Self-Modification (C)
  • Territory Creation (C)
  • "That Is Not Dead Which Can Eternal Lie..." (EX): Books of dark magic have a tendency to not disappear fully from the world even when seemingly destroyed, and as the most famous book of dark magic the Necronomicon will always seem to find a way to return no matter what is done to it. Because of this, if Al-Azif is killed there is a small chance of her simply returning to life soon afterwards.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Kitab Al-Azif: Dread Grimoire Necronomicon
  • Rank: EX
  • Type: Anti-World
  • Appearance: Also her true form.
  • Effects: The most infamous and most powerful grimoire of black magic in the world, the Kitab Al-Azif is the original Necronomicon penned by the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred. In a sense she herself is a Noble Phantasm, almost like a Reality Marble turned inside-out and made into the image of a young girl; in a way she is similar to the Heroic Spirit Nursery Rhyme, albeit with a more defined existence. Her mere existence is her Noble Phantasm, and she is able to utilize the forbidden knowledge enscribed within her as noted in her "Book of Dead Names" skill. The closest she has to a "true" Noble Phantasm, however, is invoking the most powerful being she is willing to deal with: the Key and the Gate, the All-in-One and One-in-All, the Lurker at the Threshold, Yog-Sothoth. Even then, such is the almost uncontrollable power of Yog-Sothoth that she is only willing to utilize it when there is no other option, and her very existence is at considerable risk whenever she chooses to invoke it. Utilizing its power, Al-Azif creates a rupture in space-time, a great fissure opening into all that is and all that is not, an unimaginable dimension where the fate of all that is caught inside it is unknown... Aside from the fact that it seems to simply cease to exist on this plane of existence. Whether they are destroyed, trapped in a world between worlds or flung to some unknown point in space-time, no-one can tell, and none would wish to find out either.
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Changes: A more heroic take on the Necronomicon written by a slightly more heroic Abdul Alhazred (who wrote the book to catalogue the various eldritch gribblies out there in order to help protect mankind against them). As the Necronomicon is far more famous and has made a bigger mark on history than its author, she probably got accidentally summoned when her Master was trying to summon Alhazred himself; objects can be summoned as Servants after all, although she has taken on a more humonoid form as one. Those familiar with visual novels or super robot anime might find this interpretation of the Necronomicon somewhat familiar, mostly because I will freely admit that she is heavily based on Al Azif from Demonbane, something that I felt like I could get away with because once the super robot trappings are removed she still works pretty well in the Nasuverse and because Type-Moon and Nitroplus have a long history of collaborating on projects.

NEET Master

• Name: Kageko Nikaidou
• Age: 28
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Oh, another "gas leak" huh...?"
• Personality: Ten years ago, Kageko Nikaidou was a bright and earnest mage student with an eternally sunny demeanour. Nowadays, however, her sunniness has been clouded over by cynicism, and she is a bitter and jaded shadow of who she used to be. Her social skills have degraded just like her magecraft skills due to how little she puts them to use, as she usually only says the bare minimum whenever she has to interact with others, and she barely even leaves her apartment aside from when she needs to buy food and other necessities. Despite this, she's still a fundamentally good person who if push comes to shove would stand up for what's good in this world; it's just that she's so disillusioned that she finds it difficult to not see the world as almost irredeemably rotten and corrupt, and believes that it's not going to change anytime soon.
• Skills: Unlike a lot of mages, Kageko is proficient with modern technology; after all, her lifestyle would be a lot more difficult without online shopping. Living alone has also led her to become a somewhat decent cook; she's no master chef or anything but she does make a mean curry ramen. Whilst her family aren't entirely pleased with how she turned out, they still give let her have access to some of their money as it keeps her out of the way, and thus if she really needs to she can potentially pay for anything she really needs... Although if it ends up costing too much her family might want to have words with her.
• Abilities: Kageko possesses an above average amount of above average quality magic circuits, and an affinity for the Fire and Wind elements. This led her to be highly proficient in lightning and electricity based magecraft back when she was still a student... But her skills have rusted over the past decade due to lack of practice, and thus unless she focuses extremely hard all she can really muster are small static shocks that can potentially incapacitate a mundane human for a short period of time. If she focuses a bit she can toss out a moderately-sized ball of lightning, but it's a little taxing due to how out of practice she is. Whilst she was an exceptional pupil back in the day, she only half-remembers a lot of magecraft theory aside from the basics and might initially have problems when trying to remember how to perform advanced spells. Using her family's connections she was able to obtain a special brand of Mystic Eye Killer glasses; rather than blocking her (non-existent) Mystic Eyes, they instead block Mystic Eyes used against her, as she is somewhat (rightfully) paranoid of any mages coming to meddle in her shut-in life and using charms and hypnosis to force her out of it. Her apartment is reasonably well protected by two Bounded Fields; the first of which is a simple alarm field that alerts her whenever trespassers enter the apartment, and the second is a more complicated perception filter field that she set up (with a little help) back when she moved into the place and was less out of practice; this particular field means that the apartment will just be ignored by anyone who hasn't specifically been given the address, although Servants with Magic Resistance or of the Caster class can easily see through it.
• Brief Backstory: Once a promising pupil of the Clock Tower from the somewhat prestigious Nikaidou family, due to an altercation with another mage family Kageko became disillusioned with mage society. Moving back home to Japan, her disillusionment grew to encompass modern society in general. She became withdrawn and used her family's money to accomodate the lifestyle of a shut-in, barely practicing any magecraft aside from basic spells to make her lifestyle easier. By this point in time, her skills have rusted considerably, and would have continued to deteriorate were it not for her being one of the few local mages in Sako when a new Grail War began...

I need to work on my character idea beyond "has a chainsaw" but we'll see how that turns out I guess.
