Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

Hmm alright I'll post there then. Also I wanted to say that multiple connections can be made and that once they are made they can be remotely regulated. Also Shirou can connect people to each other and not just himself, or connect many people all together to form one super magic unit.

Can I have Shirou join the eye of the serpent mission or is that too late?

Massive Multiversal Crossover

Name: Kotomine Shirou, or known originally as Amakusa Tokisada Shirou.
Age: Appears 17, is over 70 years old.
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Canon, AU, or OC?: AU
Universe of Origin: Type Moon
Personality:
Shirou is one who has been forsook by fate, a downtrodden individual who had aspired for the greater only to have lost sight of the larger picture on his way to greatness. He appears to be a rather casual going individual marked by a distinct reservation that removes him from the bounds of raw extroverted tendencies, but an underlying banality laced with a solemn cynicism borne from having been jaded by the experiences of the world is apparent. He cannot exactly be called friendly, but he emits no air of hostility. Shirou possesses an ardent ambition that consumes him, being the impetus of his actions and the main influence on his interactions with the world. He desires to redeem humanity by ascending them beyond the realms of Angra Mainyu, loosing them from the destructive tendencies they harbor and unknowingly accept like foolish ouroboros. He had desired in his original life the wish to achieve the greater in his rebellion, but in the end found that he had lost sight of his goals and that his life was simply a light ripple in the inexorable flow of time, that the confluence of lives he had cast away for his goal had been all for naught. As such, Shirou has become exceedingly ruthless in his bearing, in particular towards his ambitions. Though he may seem to be the paragon of neutrality on the outside, he is one that can manipulate, crush and trod underfoot anything that opposes him without the slightest of remorse.

Abilities/Weapons:
Black Keys
These are conceptual weapons that target the soul, and appear to be simply handles without blades when inactive. The handles are small and compact, and multiple black keys can be wielded by being placed between the fingers of the hands. When magical energy is flowed through them, a long and thin rapier like blade emerges that has a high affinity against spiritual beings. When thrown by human church executors, the keys have enough force to shatter reinforced concrete, and someone like Shirou, who is a servant with capacities far exceeding humans and also someone that can be considered a Saint, the keys are significantly more powerful in all aspects capable of harming the strongest of spiritual beings. However, black keys don't have much practicality as swords and are mostly utilized as thrown weapons.

Enchanted Katana
In the case that black keys are incompatible a against a foe, Shirou can utilize a katana that is enchanted by Shakespeare, who wrote on the blade how magnificent it was and how it was seeped in blood. Due to the katana being many centuries old and being preferred by a famous swordsman, the conceptual blessing that Shakespeare granted it has upgraded the katana to the level of a C ranked noble phantasm. Other than possessing the same durability and mystical power inherent to noble phantasms, the katana does not have any special activation power. Shirou is an adept at utilizing the katana, but cannot be called a master.

Command Seals
Shirou has engraved on his body 17 command seals for controlling servants. However as Shirou no longer has any servants, they can be called useless. They can however still be utilized as a power source for spells and the like, at the cost of sacrificing one of them.

Magic Resistance
Shirou's magic resistance is at an incredibly high rank capable of defending against high thaumaturgy(A rank). It is effectively impossible to harm Shirou as a modern magus in the type moon verse, but his magical protection does not extend to anything related to the Church.

Revelation
A skill that is similar to instinct. Instinct is a sixth sense regarding battles, but "Revelation" accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal (for instance, choosing the most suitable path while traveling). Basically allows one to always choose the right decisions in means similar to prophecies or visions received from some sort of future sighted deity.

Charisma
Although Shirou cannot run a nation, he can share those with his like-minded and tie comrades strongly enough to accept death. Thanks to his charisma, it is possible to make others believe in the contents of the "Revelations" skills without basis.

Baptism Rite
A church sacrament utilized as magecraft. With a ten line chant, Shirou can enact this rite to cause severe damage to a spiritual being or group of spiritual bodies. It has no effect on physical beings, but it can be considered the ultimate weapon against spirits. It is far above the power of regular church operatives, and sublimates the physical remnants of spirits when cast.

Left Hand - Xanadu Matrix

Hider

Shirou's first noble phantasm is his left arm, which grants him a skill similar to the Eye of the Mind(True) skill, which grants one a heightened perception honed through many experiences. With it, the calculation of dozens of scenarios in the heat of combat can be utilized to plan ahead multiple steps, effectively allowing Shirou to face off against physically superior opponents on basis of technical prowess. Shirou can additionally utilize his left hand to hook up to Magical Foundations, basically meaning that he can link to different types of magic and utilize them. The arm also has the ability to reinforce his body, granting him his eternal youth that causes him to appear seventeen when he is well over seventy years old.

Right Hand -Evil Eater
Shirou's second noble phantasm is his right hand, which grants him a skill similar to that of the Eye of the Mind(False) skill. In essence, it allows for Shirou to utilize a "sixth sense" of sort of perceive the best course of action in battle, as well as granting him the capacity to see through visual obstructions like say an invisible sword and easily see through feints. It has the same ability of Shirou's left hand to connect to Magical Foundations.

Backstory:

Hider

[Copy Pasted from the Wiki because I'm lazy]
The rulers of the land that Shirou was in, the Matsukura clan had drastically raised the taxes causing famine and overtaxation to the people. This action forced the weak to fall in despair as they were unable to even resist. As they continued to be exploited, the people found salvation in Christianity, the words filled with love that couldn’t be defeated by starvation, poverty or despair. However the Matsukura clan tried to take even that from them. For them it was no longer exploitation but it was murder. The people were provoked and they rise up and revolted. They feared of having their right to live taken away overcame their fear of dying in battle. Amongst them was Shirou Tokisada Amakusa, a young boy at the time. Nobody knew whether his presence there was a coincidence or the will of God, but before anyone realized it, Shirou was leading them. Their battle should have no defeat and no victory either. Because by rising up, they were both losers and victors at the same time. All they had left was the power to rise up, however the act of rising up itself was a necessary act. They rise up for the sake of what they believed in—that in itself was important and what they wished for. They believed the sacrifices would be kept to a minimum, and even if several people including themselves became sacrifices, the world wouldn’t die, but would instead be reborn.

Shirou brought forth a miracle, he utilized the power of the Counter Force in order for the possibility of victory that should have been impossible. In his own words, he was granted miraculous power granted by God because God will occasionally exercise malice due to good will. Shirou led the defense of Hara Castle, and defeated the strongest of the Shogunate attackers in a series of coordinated defensive surges. Unfortunately, Shirou attained victory. Everyone went wild and became excited over the victory. They clung to Shirou, who had won a battle where victory should have been impossible, as a child of miracles. That foolish purity of theirs troubled the boy. Shirou believed they shouldn’t have won. Winning was not an option. He had been caught up in saving lives in the near future and averted his eyes from the bigger picture. They may bite a cornered cat—but after being bitten, the enraged cat would retaliate by slaughtering them.

After his rebellion ultimately failed, Shirou was sentenced to execution by decapitation. Before his death, Shirou felt he was naïve and he witnessed a scene like hell as his comrades were slowly killed off. The decapitated heads of the elderly, men butchered up like experimental animals, babies pierced by spears, girls raped in the pursuit of lust and then thrown away afterwards. He was convinced that the countless lives gathered were not taken away by the enemy but by himself. Shirou without once changing expression, accepted this result with a will of steel and it made him impossible to yield and give up. He merely gazed at this scene of ruin. He revealed no resignation or sorrow and even overcame the pain of his dismembered arms. He accepted that he had lost, the responsibility for his comrades death and his inevitable death. But the one thing he couldn't accept was that everything would fall to ruins after this. He couldn’t accept it. After having wasted so many lives, he absolutely could not accept that nothing would be gained as a result.

Thus Shirou uttered a last prayer before his death
"So, God. Give me another chance. Next time, I won’t lose sight of the bigger picture. I will eliminate all obstacles, enemies and hardships in my way. Next time, I will obtain all the good in the world. A world where everyone is happy, everyone is good, and everyone is perfect. I will exterminate all evil and create a new, pure world."

Shirou was summoned in the Third Holy Grail War long after his death. Differing from the timeline of Fate/stay night's Third Holy Grail War where the Einzbern family summoned the Avenger-class Angra Mainyu, they abused one of the systems installed in the Greater Grail and brought forth Shirou as a Ruler-class Servant who was meant to be an impartial authority whom regulated the progress of the War. The Einzberns wished to call forth a proper Heroic Spirit befitting of the Ruler class rather than some nameless Eastern hero. However the act of summoning a Ruler was already a severe interference in the normal operating format of the Holy Grail War so he was a compromise with the advantage of his Command Spells.

As the third war drew to a close, the Einzberns clearly stood closer than any other to the Greater Grail. Shirou had fought to the death against the Servant Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia had summoned. However Darnic successfully stolen the Greater Grail, the only survivors in Fuyuki City were Shirou and Risei Kotomine. While his Master was killed in action, Shirou remained materialized due to Shirou having come into contact with the Greater Grail and managing to receive flesh. Risei questions about Shirou's future plans, Shirou lied to Risei about giving up on the Greater Grail but he plans to travel around the world. He had joined with the Church thanks to Risei's connections. He adopted Risei's surname, though he remained distant from Risei's own son. Taking up a position in the Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament, there was little information left to be gleamed about him from those who would search for it.

As the Mage's Association decided to seek one Master from the Church in order to have their involvement prove the legitimacy of their cause, Shirou was dispatched by the Church's Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament as one of the Masters of the Red Faction. He gathered with five of the other Masters of the Red Faction, and he used an unknown method to manipulate them into allowing him to control their Servants. He summoned Assassin of Red as his Servant, and she asked him, "Not for naught am I known as the world's oldest poisoner... Are you truly certain that you can wield Queen Semiramis?" He replied to her with, "O Queen of Assyria - in this Great Holy Grail War, I aim not for victory or defeat but for another goal. Will you aid me?" Although initially worried over his strange nature, she eventually came to greatly respect him and decided to aid him without hesitation.

-Insert Four Volumes of Plot Here-

Differing from his original universe, Shirou was able to enact his wish through the grail, incarnating the souls of every human being alive. However, he did not foresee the consequences of such a large scale action, which brought the attention of a few operatives of the Shadow Eternity who desired to harness the power of such an artifact as the grail. Shirou managed to engage in combat with these operatives but found himself outmatched, as they wielded arcane arts completely foreign to his world that broke the laws of reality. Utilizing his noble phantasms, Shirou hooked up to their magical system and repelled them, but in the process was transported to the realm that the operatives had came from. He saw no use in attempting to fight against the Shadow Eternity, so willingly joined their ranks with the ultimate goal of enacting his wish to all humans.

Hmm, so with a person I'd assume there needs to be consent since it's a two-way connection?

@VitaVitaAR

Yeah definitely.

Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

So combat-wise he's really not bad. I'm quite sure, say, Samurai Jack or anyone else in the RP could probably fight him. Maybe not the absolute weakest characters but I doubt they're intended for the combat side of things.

Though I do have to ask what you mean by "he can hook up to other people's magic and then learn how to use it". ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

Yeah, he's more of a guy that sits back and goes into conflict only when he has to.

Hmm, the ability is sort of hard to explain. Basically, his circuits can be forcefully changed and adapted to match with other peoples magical energy. So through physical contact in the case of direct person to person connection, Shirou can hook his circuits up to the persons soul/circuits, combining their total magical energy. Its basically as if the magical energy of Shirou and the other person are combined together, and as a result Shirou gains the ability to use the other persons spells and magic as well. It's a two way connection though, so the other person can also use Shirou's mana to fuel their own spells too. Shirou can also hook himself up to inanimate things as long as they have magical properties, like he did so with the Holy Grail and managed to control it. If what he hooks up to is mindless like a golem or something, he gains control over it.

Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

I have to be honest, looking through the bio I don't see anything that marks him to be... even as much of a threat as actual Emiya Shirou(Well, UBW or Heaven's Feel).

Unless there's something I'm missing? He seems pretty weak for a Servant and no worse then Raditz or even Black Rock Shooter, who's not exactly a powerhouse even if she's a dangerous fighter.

@VitaVitaAR

Like he's got a ton of mind trick stuff that lets him see through bad situations and plan things ahead, which is his strongest ability to be honest. His physical stats are below average for a servant, and he doesn't have the skill in combat of even an average servant(He's called an adept at the sword, slightly better than random Japanese rank and file soldiers, but definitely not a master which is what servants would be).

I would say he is definitely stronger than Shirou just because he has servant level stats and both Eye of the Minds, which let him plan through and counter anything someone untrained like Emiya can do. In terms of raw firepower, he is below Emiya Shirou yeah. His main and unique ability is that he can hook up to other people's magic and then learn how to use it. So it'd be nifty to see him hook up his circuits to someone from another verse and then gain the ability to use magic from outside his verse.

-Didn't realize someone had created EMIYA(basically) with the conditions I had described to be bad. Didn't intend for any disparagement Flamelord, sorry if it caused you any.

Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

I'm not quite sure you get the gist of what this multiverse RP is about. It's not about the titans of a setting coming together and having a great big punch-up. Sure, a lot of people are doing just that, but bringing in Kotomine Shirou is ludicrous!

@Earnest Evans

I'm not bringing in someone powerful lol. Kotomine Shirou is like, one of the lowest tier of servants around. He just has a really wacky skillset that makes me curious as to how he would interact with other people from other universes.

I just explained everything he could do to harrowing detail, because I feel that is much better than simply creating say Emiya and stating that I can project things and not defining limits. (Although of course limits on Emiya are established in other senses like capacity to project and risks, etc.)

Alrighty, Amakusa Shirou it is. The worse version of Emiya.
