Awwweeesoommmme~

Btw, I do have a suggestion. Along through the rp, it may be necessary to put in edits as characters progress. That said, you might want to make a copy of the character applications? One for the GM and the one for the players. That way the players could possibly request for edits upon your discretion.

Well, any edits that are made to a character sheet can be read by admins or moderators, and I'm pretty sure Elf also has that power in this forum. Further, the fact that a sheet has been edited is visible to everyone. So, there's no real need for Elf to handle it specially, she can just check the edits.

Honestly, Knick, I think your Zouken is pretty clearly not Chaotic Neutral. The stuff he did to Sakura and what he encouraged her to do is pretty obviously squarely in "Neutral Evil" territory.

Arguable. It wasn't done with evil intent and he probably saved the world, but he's also a bastard. That doesn't make him evil though.

Also saved the world by ensuring victory in the grail war by sacrificing the happiness of one child and a couple of lives. Would say that makes him obviously not evil but at the same time not good.

Hence Neutral.

Killing people to save a life (either yours or someone else's) is not the same as enslaving someone for your own selfish gain like Zouken is. And, I don't buy Rider being Chaotic Good anyway, I had her down as Chaotic Neutral.

Except that his desire to win the Grail War has nothing to do with wanting to save the world, and nor was Rin winning it likely to endanger the world. So, no, that logic does not follow at all.

What he said about him before certainly makes it sound like that. If he wanted Sakura to just save the world then there is no need for him to force her into obedience and implant her with things that would remove her ability to think independently if she didn't.

You know what his original wish for the grail was right?
 
It was a utopia for mankind. That hardly sounds evil.

What he said about him before certainly makes it sound like that. If he wanted Sakura to just save the world then there is no need for him to force her into obedience and implant her with things that would remove her ability to think independently if she didn't.

He does have some selfish desires, such as preserving the Matou. Which is why he is not good, but he not that far down the deep end to be evil. He does not wish harm on anyone but his enemies. Then again he does not care if random people do suffer, mainly cause it is not related to him.

Sakura is too soft to win a Grail War. Zouken needed someone who would be capable and willing to defeat the other masters. He could not afford to let a variable loose when all of the earth was at stake. He either destroyed the Grail, or everything dies. Failure was not an option.

Well duh Knick, although last I checked your zoulen mind controlled a person to the point of near death. Saber, Shirou and kiritsugu haven't and are therefore still good guys while your zouken is still a monster, less than canon but still...

Kiritsugu and Saber have killed scores of people. By your definitions, they are beyond inhuman.

Post by: Knick on May 24, 2014, 05:59:32 AM
Never said Zouken was good did I? And where did you get 'near death' from? It was a gradual process where it slowly and carfully reconstucted someone's personality better suited for the life they would live and his purposes to make her a Heir.
 
I said he is not evil. But he also not good. He somewhere in the middle.

The spectrum is not black and white no matter what you said. Also Kiritsugu kills people to get to his targets, his 'evil' list is much larger. Don't even get me into how many Saber has killed on the battle field, or even the innocence he sacrificed.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Arch-Magos Winter on May 24, 2014, 05:59:43 AM
Does this make Law evil that he kills people that killed him? That he eats the souls of the forever lost and damned to walk the earth? Because isn't that killing them.

Lantz, morality isn't set in stone. Saying killing is wrong is fine and dandy until someone with a different set of morals comes along and shanks you.

No, she's not. Rin and Shirou managed just fine.

If all you want to do is win for yourself then you might need to be tough, but if you want to destroy the Grail then the best option is to ally with like-minded people, such as Rin and Shirou. Killing them was not remotely sensible or necessary.

Well duh Knick, although last I checked your zoulen mind controlled a person to the point of near death. Saber, Shirou and kiritsugu haven't and are therefore still good guys while your zouken is still a monster, less than canon but still...

Kiritsugu kind-of is. Saber killed people in battle who would happily have killed her and were attacking her country, so it's a little different.

Like 5 people for the entirety of the world.

Like god knows how many people for a war.

Your scales are off a bit man.

Doesn't matter, he mind-controlled a young child, used her as a tool and treated her like crap. That is fundamentally wrong, no matter how you view it.

Trust the other masters. You do understand that Zouken is still a magus right? He's not going to take chances with other people if he can just eliminate them and get the advantages they have. Taking Saber from Shirou is a good example of this. This is a guy who isn't willing to take chances. The most dangerous thing to a plan is someone you cannot manipulate or control completely. Zouken was going to make sure the chance of failure was 0% by any means necessary. He fucked over 5 people and saved the world. Far from the worst solution.

He still sounds pretty monstrous. Especially the whole "if she disobeys she loses her free will" thing. What purpose does he have for that that is not entirely selfish? She can't fight in that state anyway.

So, since this will effect how my characters travel, and because I thought others might have the same questions. Can we get a layout of the city (I just need descriptions and I can do a basic layout) and the bases of the present factions (such as forest , Gil etcetera)? By which I mean foremost where in the city using Tokyo tower as a center point and dividing the city into four sections (North, South, East, West) they are located.

Since Lantz is asking here, The Order's manor just got placed in the affluent suburban district of the city, bordering where the commercial district begins.

Regardless of how the layout of the city is (which we should probably establish, any artists?), Karna is hanging around Tokyo Tower, if anyone hasn't already decided to put their character in.

Issues with the WYSIWYG editor.

And what's with the blatant setup of more BDSM in her very profile?

This is the woman who told Shirou that she would orgasm if she gouged his eyes out. Honestly, I think I'm toning it down a bit, if anything.

And, frankly, it's none of your damn business. I do not have to conform to your sexual preferences, and I can write my characters however I like. It is certainly canonically plausible, therefore you have no grounds to object.

Unless you make it clear that Sakura is in Nexus City (by, say, making her one of your characters), you're bending suspension of disbelief over even further by claiming that Sakura is giving Prana to someone in another dimension (which would fall under the Second Magic, something she's 100% incapable of).

Yes, Sakura is going to be one of my characters. She won't arrive straight away, but until she does Rider will have prana issues (as she did last time). But, I can't change the sheet halfway through, and the ultimate idea is to have Sakura there, so the with-Sakura stats make sense.

There's literally nothing but to edit your stats according to the Scale system and removing Charisma (thank fuck for that. Lantz giving EX rank Charisma to characters because they have tits was honestly pretty insulting), I doubt it's that difficult (I re-purposed the 4 sheets I posted to the new system in the span of maybe 1½ hours, where I was also doing other stuff).

Well, I want to get Kiyoshi done first anyway (because I don't intend to bring Sakura in until I bring her daughter in (due to how I intend them to get here), and I still need to finish her sheet), and I do need to edit him somewhat because the scale for the stats is different (I was assuming it was compared to an average boy).

Nope, sorry, that is bullshit. Just because you are utilitarian it does not mean everyone else is. I'm not saying choosing the GF is right, but doing so does not mean you have no morals, or even that you are evil. It just means you value that person a lot.

You know, I think it's entirely possible to make "wrong" decisions driven by selfishness while recognizing that they are indeed that and then bearing the weight of that choice. Especially if the choice was for the sake of someone or something you cared more for than the alternative.

In hindsight, characters like that would probably view themselves as terrible people, but it's a situation that breeds the kind of personal conflict you really want to see in a story. That's how I think anyways.


Rider seems amoral in the way that she'll discard any beliefs of "good" or "evil" if it means saving or helping Sakura. It's not that she doesn't have morals at all, but she's amoral where it concerns Sakura because she cares much more for her well-being than most things. Enough to disregard the righteousness (or lack thereof) of her actions if necessary.

She's not "amoral", it's just that she puts protecting those she loves first. That is in itself a type of moral, and one that most people follow to at least some extent. She does seem not to want to harm people when possible, so she does have morality.

Mike, she is not good by any measure. Her disregard for human life is appaling for sensitivities of modern people, and I bet even ancient Greeks would cringe.

I never said she was good, she's just not evil, or completely lacking in morality.

I'll have you tell me that boiling an entire school of hundreds of students alive for entirely selfish purposes is something someone who isn't evil would do.

Saving someone else is not a "selfish reason", at least no more so than any good act is selfish.

Chaotic Neutral, I'd say. She does tend to do things her own way (she'll happily disobey Sakura if she thinks it is best).

Ok, that was not made clear in your post, I just reread it to make sure.

This is just a bit irritating because I may just end up with Minato walking around doing nothing, whatever, I'll just do that.

Done, Minato is now nowhere in particular.

It depends on what he's aiming for, though. I said 50 to be safe with that.

Well Satoshi is fairly muscular, I don't know if that matters. Your bmi scale doesn't tell me anything names. Satoshi's build is similar to Spider man who weighs 180lbs.

Muscle definitely matters, yes. It weighs more than fat, in fact (so, for example, most rugby players would be obese by the standard definition, ditto bodybuilders and so on). Isn't Satoshi shorter than Spiderman, though, as well as heavier?

His mass seems less wrong than the others, but unless he is extremely muscular it is still probably too high.

if I converted wrong ok, Elf mind if I edit?

Quote

If you mean Matou Sakura, then she's about 70 pounds over her canon self (even if you account for the increased height). If you mean Tohsaka Sakura, then she's also 70 or so pounds above a "good" weight.

Actually, yes, it does. Muscle is denser than fat, so the same amount of muscle makes you heavier than a given amount of fat.

However, in order to be that heavy, you do need to be very muscular indeed, or else have a reasonable amount of fat. It is entirely possible to have that BMI and be fit (Rugby players do, for example, as do American Football players in certain positions, I suspect), but you certainly have to be putting significant effort into training to get that heavy without being fat, and people would definitely notice it.

If Satoshi and others weigh that much and aren't overweight with fat, they'd be XBAWX HUEG bodybuilders who can't scratch their faces.

Because yes the BMI scale doesn't scale muscles, but at MOST people who work out and are healthily-muscular(as in good flexibility and shit) should be in the average weight section, not hitting high health risk.

I called my teacher for this.

Well, Rin has a BMI of 18.6, and is claimed to be reasonably muscular (although I think that is a case of Nasu failing Biology somewhat...), so I'd say that anything over 24 for Sakura is too much. Which means she needs to be 80 pounds or so less at least.

If Satoshi and others weigh that much and aren't overweight with fat, they'd be XBAWX HUEG bodybuilders who can't scratch their faces.

Well, they might go into overweight, but to be classed as obese and still be physically fit you either need to be intentionally trying to be heavy (like a Rugby player or American Football player might) or else basically be a full-time bodybuilder.

So, question, since that character is really Shirou post Heaven's Failure, does she occupy a "Shirou slot"?

Quote
10.)Alternate Selves. Since this is a Multi-Dimensional RP, multiple versions of one character will be allowed, but only one per player and only three versions of one character allowed at a time. So that means Player C can play as Mind of Steel Shirou where everything went Grimderp and he let Rin kill Sakura, but that is the only version of Shirou he can play. Player A can play Fate Shirou who is following his dream. Player B can play Heaven's Feel Normal End Shirou who is Sakura's house husband. For the purposes of this RP Emiya Shirou and EMIYA Archer are separate characters. So there can be three Shirous and three Archers.

Agreed on ego but not on willpower. Gil has incredible willpower, and, well, all of us have read FSN. "Willpower" is not what we think of when we think of Sakura (we think of passive, worm training, cooking, etc.). Sure, she has some, but not on Gil's level.

I would like to respectfully point out that I was asking Lantz. However, I don't think Sakura can flat out ignore Angra Mainyu. It just doesn't make sense.

Ego, no, certainly not, but I'm not so sure about willpower. Sakura has a lot of willpower.

Anyone who thinks it's actually ego that does it for Gil is out of his face. Gil has completely inhuman willpower + 100% self-affirmation in his own existence, so that it cannot be clouded by a billion gazillion curses. So it's more Willpower + nothing being able to sully an existence as absolute as Gil's.

Sakura is insecure and not very confident in herself. She has the willpower to kinda-resist worm rape, but that's more the fact that she's so used to it by that point that it can't faze her that much any more. She'd buckle under from a fully-on AM mental attack faster than you can say "Senpai".

To give you the HF example, the reason Sakura has to immediately turn Gil into Prana is because his willpower is so great that he'd burst out of her after 5 seconds like the Kool-Aid Man.

You'd note that I said that she has a respectable amount of willpower, but that there is no way in fuck she'd ever resist it completely, much less tame it. Of course, you'd not note that because you're in full "muh waifu" blind rage mode.

I would suggest changing it to say something like mastered a small fragment of AM instead of the whole thing, you can have her possess the same level of power even with that, and it doesn't lessen either Sakura or Angra in any significant way.

I might also add that one does not need to master second magic to travel between worlds, that is to say that if she was a master of the second she would be Zel level automaticaly. She could just as easily use a supercharged version of shadow transport to move between worlds.

Just my thoughts, do with them what you will.

Good thoughts Kuro but I'm waiting on Elf. I'd prefer not to be forced to alter the characters I draw up, especially given the seriously rude behavior of those complaining. We have lunatic demigods running around, I don't think Sakura is as shark jumping as they claim, or at all for that matter.

These lunatic demigods make sense within their established world/context though, without having to hang your disbelief or requiring a ton of explaining that involves mostly "maybes" and "shoulds."

I think it's simply because you're using a cannon character and screwing with their canon Lantz but hey you write for fun so if you think it's cool and you won't ever change your opinion on that go ahead just have your fun.

A lot of the stuff you write has no real point to it beyond "hey that's awesome or funny in my eyes" so I'm just saying have your fun.

Also remember Lantz the argument we had about Grim's capabiliites. You were a marvel comics fanboy and you kept on talking about stuff about me lying about how my symbiote worked on affecting personality. I highligted it in my sheet how it affected the characters it possessed (slight aggro increase that's all along with stat boosts) yet when I stated that it wouldn't fuck with your chararcter's personality beyond that you said I was lying. Lantz that's what it feels like everytime you write anything to do with the Nasuverse.

Gray you've confused the context there, I didn't say yours worked like that. I said that if you follow canon they work by increasing aggression in the host. Massive difference.

Names that honestly is pointless. In my opinion having either Gil or Karna being played by players period is unbalanced and unfair, especially when those same players demand others be nerfed.

They're not asking Sakura to be nerfed. They're asking her to make sense. For all the things they can pull they have sources from the actual legends to back them up. Elf will also smite them if they do retarded crap anyways.

Except Gil and Karna make sense in world/setting. Which was my point. Which is what you ignored.

Your Sakura doesn't make sense without hanging my disbelief off of a nearby tree, and I like that thing. She "mastered" AM, she Annihilated the Mage's association(which includes the Barthomeloi and Zelretch)... she makes no sense in world/setting.

That's the point I'm making. One side makes sense, one side does not without purposefully lowering your intelligence level.

Honestly. They are not even the most OP in the game. We only ask for nerfs when their abilities make no sense. Like your Sakura Matou.
 
I mean Phoenix can probably kill Karna. You don't have problems with it being in the game do you?

Hell Grigori is a fucking god. Uchi has almost complete control over the 5 Chinese elements and the 5 European elements. Hakumen is just stupidly powerful. There are a lot of powerful contenders in this RP. All their sheets makes sense, yours don't.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Gray on May 26, 2014, 03:16:34 AM
Yeah.
My symbiote confused you apparently because you had some pre-established notions of canon in your head. That's what I'm saying happens to everyone when you write anything at all because you disregard canon.

On the note of Sakura contrlling Angra, Sakura has a lot of willpower I won't deny it. At her best though she was restisting a flood and holding on to the branch known as sanity while most other people would have let go after the intial wave hit them. The flood went on for hours and she held on for hours but the fact she could hold on against such a flood doesn't mean she can make the flood go in the direction she wants though. Resistance of something and Control of something are two entirely different things.

Also on another note Gilgamesh was able to wash off Angra by willing it so but do you think he could have tamed it? He bore the weight on his shoulders like it was nothing but he didn't do the insane feat that Lantz claims Sakura did of actually taming "all the evils in the world". Besides I think by base definition you shouldn't be able to tame that as it would change what the thing is. Also wouldn't the supression of an innocent being that's just trying to follow it's nature count as an evil. And thus wouldn't angra just gain more power from that evil?

We are just asking you to explain why Sakura has some of the shit she does, such as the high MR and Charisma.

Or how should could do something she should ever be able to do. Like destroy the MA or control "All the Evils of this World".

Neither are out-there in terms of requests for an RP, especially since anyone else would be happy answering such questions about their character. Like ask me anything about Amelia or Pheonix, my OCs and I will answer.

Also Charisma is no longer even a stat, it needs to be showed in RP.

Lantz bullying would have been me making Grim flat out jumping Satoshi ripping his soul out and using that power from his dragon soul to kill the rest of your player characters. I gave you your chances to respond instead and played the game.

We're not asking you to eliminate the character we're just asking you to make it at the very least consistent.

How about instead of playing goody twoshoes sakura you play Dark Sakura that's an absolute psychopath. She's evil because all the worlds evil and after enough chipping away of her via it instead of the other way around she is enjoying. Have her go wild be crazy truly play a destroyer that can earn the name of "Angra Mainyu"

We'd roleplay with you more if you'd stop complaining about your characters being ignored as crazy and if you'd stop trying to insert yourself into every situation as the hero. That would help a whole fucking lot, as that's something you haven't stopped doing.

No no no It's Sakura (Archer's daughter however the fuck that works) that has the high MR and Charisma. Sakura Matou is the one that controlls all the evils of the world and destroyed the MA.

Ignoring argument...

So what freaks Tokiomi out the most here, the instinctive understanding that he is looking at a Messiah, the insta healing, or the idea that Minato basically pulled true magic or close to it with jewelcraft? (From a Likely Magus perspective)

Oh what I meant with not needing to master the second to travel between worlds is that just moving yourself between worlds is not all of the second, in the same way that Tsubame Gaeshi is not all of second magic. Someone with sufficient effort (Truly ludicrous amounts) could gain a piece of true magic, just not all of it, that would require Zel to die.

Just to be clear, Messiah itself was not evoked, it just grants a sort of passive effect that makes people of christian faith or origin recognize Minato as the Messiah, he tends to avoid churches due to this...

It also lets him do basic messiah things like healing the sick and walking on water, both of which are far less impressive than they were made out to be.

The MA is not invincible and I never claimed she killed every last member with her own hands. As for the second magic, not nearly the most bizarre thing to happen.

Charisma is nuked, doesn't matter here.

Angra bled through slowly, Sakura built resistance and control over a long period.

Names, it's hardly an assumption when I've been warned about the lack of players to interact with from the GM. You want me to be wrong guys? Then actually do the two things I ask, include my characters and actually discuss ideas with me. I'm fine playing the second string crew despite appearances. Without being included of course I'm going to do whatever random things I come up with.

This 1000 times this.

Lantz do you think there is just a conspiriacy of people just converting new members into hating you?

No Lantz I just generally grew tired of your stuff and I tried for weeks on end to have you listen to reason. You saw how it went down in the Beast's Lair thread for Fate's Fortune I was one of the last people to quit. Not because anyone told me too but because you were such a dense and genuinely unchanging wall that I lost all hope for you.

I had hope, I was trying to be optimistic but now I realize that was a naivety rearing its ugly head. Do you know why people keep on making the same points against you again and again Lantz? Do you even know?
It's because you haven't fixed the problem those points are adressing. If you are doing this for fun I suggest you just keep this stuff to yourself but no for some reason you need an audience. I honestly am convinced you gain a little self worth everytime someone argues with you. Simply because it at least means that you are worth trying against. In all honesty you aren't. We will never get to you. We can agree to disagree sure but in order for that solution to work it requires lack of contact instead we're both here playing an RP so an actual compromise has to be reached.

Lantz don't you dare ignore that paragraph stating it's a wall of text or some bullshit like that.


BTW Do you know why people give you walls of text often? It's because you are so wrong on so many levels so often that we neeed these walls to explain how wrong you are.

It certainly isn't out of his sense of guilt for having killed and some stupid thing like "wanting to answer for his crimes against humanity" - which I feel Satoshi would think.

It's more that Satoshi has anti-dragon stuff out the wazoo and Satoshi's personality.

Hmm, Elf, when you approve a character, could you say so in here (or, at least, say you've made new approvals)? It's quite easy to miss the edit to the approval sheet.

Also, is there a reason Shirou wasn't approved yet (he's basically identical to last time), or have you just been busy?
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Brahmastra on May 26, 2014, 03:44:58 PM
it says "New" next to the approval thread whenever it's edited. That should be enough of a signal to check if your new goon has been approved.

I just haven't had a chance to make the approval yet.

Also, Lantz's genderswap doesn't count as an alternate version because of loss of penis and gain of vagina.

If I approve her, she'd be considered a new character.

Okay if the phoentics annoy you that much. I just used "shirouko" simply because we were discussing a version female shirou and I just wanted to be clear. Shiko does make more sense and I think Lantz should change the name to fit if this version has truly accepted being a woman.

Gender neutral, afaik, but "Shirou" = "Warrior son". The female equivalent most certainly isn't "Shirouko" - "warrior son daughter/girl", rather the female equivalent is "Shiko".

Like I don't mind Archerko having a blade that creates a tornado, but there's no way that Satoshi could have made something to surpass EA.  That thing was crafted by divinity.  Hell, it sort of fritzes Shirou's brain when he tries to analyze it.

Disregarding the things about Heaven's Failure I dislike, "she" isn't Archerko (UBW-copycat Illya).

And oh man, Arc? Nice choice, Daiki; I have no doubt you'll do well RPing her.

I just want to point out that she doesn't have UBW, that would mean she has shirou's soul. And there is nothing in sword dancers that says she has UBW. and most of the swords she creates are not recognizable NPs.

Heck the only swords she creates even close to NPs are 'altered' knockoffs of K&B.

Also projection is not unheard of, everyone and their dog can do it it's just not practical

In all likelihood she's using her higher prana capacity and better circuits to make up for the cheap price given to Shirou by his sword Element/Origin, and copying his fighting style more as a sentimental thing.

Also wishcraft might make copying his fighting style simpler.

That is not free rein to do absolutely anything you want to do with her

And her doujin self can actually makes sense in the nasuverse (even though the story can't)

And to add to that she meets Shirou in the doujin ergo she does not have his soul ergo does not have UBW, his soul

If that is impossible, the next likeliest thing (What I brought up way up there, raw prana and wishcraft) is the likeliest explanation

If you guys have an alternative then please do explain it clearly, I don't mind changing it if I can be given a clear alternative.

Satoshi tried to defeat EA based on the false assumption that it was a physical attack, not one that tears time and space. The sword is gone because, obviously, it didn't work.

Archerko was already ready, I'm going to post once I finish my sixth character. And no, I never claimed Archerko was canon.

Archerko is basically human, I'm not sure what weakness she could have that wouldn't be a completely artificial Achilles heel and completely out of place as a result.

Post by: The Man With All The Cute Boats on May 27, 2014, 01:30:03 AM
what are you waiting for, a documentary, I already made a post about this

does she have Shirou's soul: No, she meets Shirou in Sword Dancers

Ergo, without Shirou's soul, she does not have UBW

The rest is simple: Shirou can make swords in mass because he gets them cheap through element/origin, Ilya would be able to get them en mass through wishcraft, tons of prana and much higher quality circuits than Shirou.

Projection is a very common piece of magic, if not used because it's impractical: Ilya uses it due to sentiment for Shirou and a desire to emulate him, a desire she outright states in sword dancers

Thus she can have the demonstrated sword rain in Sword Dancers without UBW

And there is absolutely nothing in sword dancers saying she has UBW anyway.

So lantz, are you just trying to force these stupid characters with retarded abilities (first E Numa Numa El Radish, now a fucking one-hit kill technique) to try and murder Gil. It's actually hilarious that you are putting so much effort into trying to make characters that are wronged by Gil, have Gil in their dislikes and are clearly made to kill him.

IMO your version of Taiga completely misses the point of Taiga.
Taiga is comic relief, not a godamned grimdark murder demon.

You have Satoshi be stereotypical hero when Shirou's quest was his struggle with it's impossibility and beauty.

You are giving Unlmiited bladeworks away willy nilly when Unlimited Blade Works is Shirou Emiya.

Sakura struggled in Canon against Angra Mainyu and her mental breakdown as it futher corrupted her was her character in heavens feel. YOu decide to make her master it and still be all Sakura like.

You have even claimed to me that excalibur never fired a beam in the visual novel (I called it a sword laser but the meaning was obvious).

I have to ask you Lantz seriously. Have you even read F/SN?

I'm not complaing from a point of canon. I'm saying that you are butchering these characters and themes narratively not mechanically. You claim to like these characters but for some reason you miss all the points of their struggles. So Lantz what is the point? Fun isn't an answer. If you wanted to have fun you don't have to screw with other people's RP fun and yes they care because you are playing with them regardless whether contact is minimal.

That was a rather different situation, though. Sakura there suddenly had AM dumped on her in the middle of an already-stressful situation. And, even then, she seemed to be doing a pretty decent job of controlling it until Shinji decided to push her over the edge. Further, post-HF Sakura does actually seem to use AM's abilities somewhat (particularly in HA), and seems to be learning to master them, so it is possible for her to do so.

I apologize, but  Taiga Fujimura has been denied.

I have decided to deny the character for several reasons.  First off, it breaks suspension of disbelief a bit much to be acceptable on top of your other sheets, and the grimness of the backstory is kind of tasteless and out of character for all the characters who were mentioned.  Even in an "alternate reality" there has to be something that can be believed.  Unfortunately, this backstory did not have it.

Not to mention, it seems to go against everything that makes Taiga a character as well.  Taiga's a joke character; putting her in a "Grimdark" storyline doesn't work.  It doesn't make her interesting or even "edgy", but a poor parody of herself.

You're already blowing it and you haven't even posted.

Plus even if you admit you're willing to go along with it because she's GM, that's still a disrespectful thing to say to someone with her position. Take something with some damn humility for a change, lantz. You're lucky to be even playing, and in my opinion are already treading on some damn thin ice.

How the hell is saying "I don't agree with you but I respect your decision" "disrespectful"? Just because Elf made a proclaimation, it doesn't mean Lantz has to instantly change his opinion and believe she is right.

Mike... The guy's on the verge of being kicked out if he messes up in the RP even once due to repeated instances of bad RPing and indirectly or otherwise causing drama outside it during CE 1.0. And knows this. And yet has the audacity to bitch when he loses one damn sheet.

 He should be grateful any of his sheets were even accepted period, or that he's even allowed to play, because I damn well know that if lantz weren't given this last chance? None of those sheets would have received approval this round. So yeah, it's pretty damn disrespectful.

No/almost no backstory is irregular, not the other way around.

Well, Elf told me she'd told Arch (and you, for that matter) to keep away from Lantz, and she told Lantz to keep away from you. So, unless I misunderstood her, yes, it happened. She just did it in private rather than publicly.

Quote
Lantz is pretty blatantly setting up a player kill. We have the full right to intervene IC.

Erm, no, if Lantz is setting up a player kill, then the correct thing to do is to let Elf intervene. Just like how the correct thing for Lantz to do when Arch set up a PK for him was to let Elf intervene, not meta-game to avoid it. And, yes, saying "I'll stop you killing x" is meta-gaming, at least as a general statement.

And, for the record, I'm pretty sure he's not setting up a PK, and even if he was intending to I very much doubt that any of your characters could reasonably prevent it (especially without meta-gaming). It's just that Gil is a big part of a lot of Lantz's stories (as a villain, of course), so comes up in the backstory.

Yet again Names, do not put words in my mouth. You have no right to tell me how I think. You are wrong in your assumptions.

My characters are largely a social group, fighting will be minimal likely and I'm not pking or planning to. Gilgamesh is unlikable, and intentionally so. As a result, yes my characters do not like him.

@Umbra

yes, Elf did, that's why I can post when I catch up.

Rin took Sakura's place, basically. It's way to damn long to explain, I'm not sure if I explain all of it that it will fit in a post.

I could make any of your character sheets in three minutes or less. If that somehow translates to the original sheet maker putting in any large amount of effort, I will eat my shoe.

And yes, putting close to nothing as a backstory is irregular, mostly when dealing with an established universe.

If Gil was truly such an unlikable character, he probably wouldn't have scratched #9 on the 10th Anniversary TYPE-MOON Favorite Characters poll. And that poll was before CCC came out and gave people far more reason to like him.

In order to explain Archer here I'd have to explain Dark Rin, Dark Rin is however a long, mostly irrelevant story (in regards to Archer's back story in regards to playability.) so I cut the difference and dealt directly with Archer, the guy I'm planing on playing.

Gilgamesh in Fate Stay is a person you're supposed to dislike (even despise) in the routes he stars in a main antagonistic role. He succeeds at it because of how he tosses around his overwhelming power, his attitude towards the protagonists, and the way he acts in general. And all of that makes for a great villain.

Which doesn't mean people don't like him as a character. Heck that's the entire point! I like Gil as a character in FSN because he makes a good villain!

I'll admit that Fate/Zero is kind of what made Gil for me as a character, because even though he's manipulative, corrupts Kirei, doesn't give two shits of respect for most people, and flaunts his power and superiority all the time, he's so goddamn amazing at all of it you can't help but cheer for him!

TL;DR: A character can be amazingly likable and great at their role, but you can still dislike them as a person (especially if that's their point).

And even then they should even recognize that he is like amazing and beyond them. It actually in the character sheet.

Only reason Phoenix and Arc don't is because one is an an Elemental and the other is a Fairy probably. Well that the reason Phoenix doesn't, Arc might not cause it Arc and she gives 0 shits.

People who don't know him might be in awe, anyone who has dealt with him is likely to hate him, because he tends to be an asshole to just about everyone....

Also, the version of Gil being played here is a little different from the version in FSN, and Lantz is talking about the FSN version.

For that matter, Lantz, unless your breakfast is a fucking cow you probably should have posted by now.

Arch, please.

Lantz is not currently holding anyone up, so why is it such a problem if he is taking a while to make a post? Just concentrate on your own characters, and don't worry about what Lantz does.

2.) Thou Shall Not Meta Game Or Godmode. If you have knowledge that your character could not possibly have, don't give it to them without a reasonable explanation. There will not be any Godmoding here either. You will get smote, and smote hard.

6.) For the Love of God, Please Try To Make Your Posts Readable. It’s no fun if one’s posts aren’t able to be read.  Use proper capitalization, spacing, and punctuation in your posts whenever possible.  If there are constant infractions, GM action will be taken.  This should be a fairly well written RP that others can read like a story if they wanted.
Both of these rules were just violated by your post, lantz (the latter more due to it being confusing than a multitude of grammar problems). Combined with the conditions you were under, this is grounds for your removal from the RP. It's only a matter of Elf confirming so.

The problem is with Lantz's attitude. This happens all the damn time with him. He never, ever is accountable in your eyes, for anything he does.

Dark Sakura can taint SERVANTS. Because of the fact that they are tied to the grail and her Anti-spirit trait.

And Avalon would remove it even then.

"Tainting people" isn't a thing. Sakura could blacken Servants in FSN because they're Servants and her conditions. No one else who comes into contact with the curses of Angra Mainyu through the Grail becomes "tainted" like that.

When it comes into contact with Shirou, it tries to melt him.
Kiritsugu got cursed and his body and circuits slowly and painfully decayed until his death.
Kotomine got a heart made of that stuff through the overflow from the Servant-Master bond with Gilgamesh, and he's not "tainted" by any stretch.
It likely just consumes most people who it touches in any way.

The problem isn't an interesting event. The problem is Dark!Satoshi which apparently isn't the sheet. If you're going to give your characters the ability to transform or something, then include it in your sheet.

If it was an oversight the correct thing to do would be putting it in the sheet and see what Elf says. The point of the sheet is to show people what they should expect to see in the RP. It shouldn't be demonstrated in the RP then added to the sheet.

It's also somewhat my fault, since I knew about the Dark Satoshi thing before the sheet was posted and didn't bring it up (whereas I did point out something else that I thought could be a possible issue, and which Lantz changed as a result).

If it was an oversight the correct thing to do would be putting it in the sheet and see what Elf says. The point of the sheet is to show people what they should expect to see in the RP. It shouldn't be demonstrated in the RP then added to the sheet.

Sure, that seems fair. I'm not sure if editing the sheet is something that should be done without Elf saying to do so, though.

And, the issue here is that I don't think Lantz realised it needed to be in the sheet until people mentioned it. And, for that matter, neither did I....

Also, Knick, you might want to be careful about sending Zouken after Toshi and Sakura, because Rider is going to be heading in that direction as well, and you can probably take a good guess what Rider's reaction to Zouken (once she finds out who he is, anyway) is going to be....

Worms, for one thing. Further, I suspect she would know the name "Makiri" and possibly "Zolgen", it's probably in the Matou magic books somewhere, and I'm sure Sakura would have read those at some point. Plus, I recall someone mentioning "Makiri" at some point in HF.

1) Rider would probably not recognize Zolgen, he looks different, acts different, and feels different. Especially since he would never introduce himself to a monstrosity such as Angra Mainyu. And why do you assume he only has worms? He has a ton of different Insect familiars.

2) He would not be 'going after her' he would begin by bringing the attention of such an entity to the powerhouses in the city, he knows he can't kill it alone. From there he would act as the organizer, tracking her and organizing a proper attack.

3) Zolgen would never go in person. He is not stupid.

OK, is there a reason you insist on attempting to kill off one of Lantz's characters and dragging us into the sort of big battle we're explicitly trying to avoid?

Because Zolgen is watching everything in town so is aware of her (or it to him).

And it is completely IC for him to do what he is doing. If you deny me doing this you deny my ability to be Zolgen in the RP. Especially since Sakura was not at all discreet in her use of her power, I mean she just ATE a vampire rave.

That set Zolgen off. Cause he now knows AM is in the city and two it has Sakura's anti-spirit powers. Which is bad.

If you don't want players to jump of your characters actions, even if it leads to conflict, do not RP with a group of people.

Further, the RP is meant to be fun. And that means fun for everyone, not just the people with uber-OP characters. You are acting like your character should be omniscient and then abusing that to drag Lantz into a situation he absolutely does not want and which cannot end anything but badly for no good reason whatsoever. Have some damn consideration for what other players want for once.

And you aren't forcing Knick to RP in a way he doesn't to by forcing Rider to myrder him at every oppurtunity? Grow some fucking Balls and realize that everything going exactly how you want to is boring as shit.

The difference is that I am not going to send Rider after him like that if he explicitly doesn't want to do so and if doing so will drag him into a long and boring fight he does not want. Rider won't be hunting Zouken all RP, I assure you of that.

Going after Sakura is fine, but what Knick is doing here is setting the situation up so that she has no possible escape. The rest of the RP for her will be nothing but constant fights with OP characters, and that is not fun.

...You're asking me to play my character entirely against his purpose, creation, and what he is.

He's a Sin Eater of the Advocate/Gatekeeper archtypes. He maintains the barrier between the worlds, and that means from both sides. He'll help ghosts move on if he can, but if he can't, or they're attacking people, he will show no mercy. And that means sealing or destruction. So Mike, if Rider starts attacking people, Law becomes interested because she is, for lack of a better term, a ghost.

And unless she can very, very quickly explain why she tried to murder a man just for existing, he'll seal her without question. Hell, he might just seal her even if she does explain, because she's a threat.

Honestly, Arch, that is not a problem, although there is no way you are sealing Rider (and if you insist on succeeding against my will I will ask for Elf to intervene, because you are preventing me RPing at that point). The problem is with you going out of your way to find out that she is doing it and attacking her for that, particularly when there is no way for me to reasonably respond that doesn't wreck the RP for me.

Think like Zolgen, he not going to get the powerful entities that are hard to predict. He would recruit people like Fate, Forest, or even hell even trick Amelia to help. People he know their general actions and people that are not as difficult to track. He would also recruit Law if he learns his nature (which will probably happen cause he interested in him).

I think the point people are trying to make is, if Zolgen does notice that Sakura is around and that she can use Angra Mainyu's power so freely, it's odd to not expect him to seek allies to deal with her. Particularly given his backstory and knowing how out of his league he would be.

Mind you, I'm not saying anything about how that kind of situation would be resolved, and if necessary, events can be contrived so no one comes off worse for the wear.

Even so, this RP is not meant to be solely about conflict. You are basically forcing Lantz into a fight that he does not want which can only end with characters dying, without any particular IC reason to do so (sure, you can justify it with "I saw what she did", but that is an IC justification for an OOC desire, not a natural IC response to something).

Yes, you are right that characters do have to adapt and adjust to the situation, but there is a limit to that. The RP is meant to be fun, and you are attempting to force Lantz (and, incidentally, several others) into something they don't consider fun without giving them any option or any way to end it.

Yes, that is true, but there is no real IC reason why he should notice. Knick is just going out of his way to force a conflict that isn't desired by at least one party and which cannot reasonably be ended without deaths.

Brah, Lantz does not know what Elf has or has not conveyed to you, all he knows is what she told him. And, yes, she did tell both him and also me that she had told you and Arch to stay away from Lantz's characters.

Couldnt give less of a fuck about what she (may) have told Magos, I'm saying that lantz is lying through his teeth in regards to what Elf has (not) told me.

Honestly Mike.

If Lantz cannot think and forces other characters to react due to his actions, it is his fault.

Because all the characters sheets are on the forum, he can look at them and he can get a general idea if people will react.

But despite this, he thought it was a good idea to eat a rave worth of vampires for no reason. As soon as they arrive in the city. When there are other elements already functioning and keeping tabs on people.

Cannot say anything to me, when it is ENTIRELY lantz's fault for my characters actions. Talk to your friend and make him realize his actions WILL have consequences with other characters. If you don't want that. DO NOT RP WITH US. Cause we all find that to be enjoyable and fun.

Knick, you are expecting consequences that are massively out of sync with what he actually did. There is no reason he would even expect anyone to see it, and killing a bunch of NPCs is hardly unusual. And, yet, you are trying to force him into an unwinnable fight that will affect not only him but a whole bunch of other characters as well.

Further, he doesn't want to RP with you, but you are trying to drag him into doing so anyway, despite him going nowhere near your characters at any point. So, no, the problem here is on your side, not his. Just because you are in this RP it does not mean you own the RP.

Your Knight of Chaos Archer makes no sense Lantz. At the very least Stat wise it doesn't. Is this an Archer Alter?

We've already seen what Archer is like with a compatible master who has loads of Mana. Despite that his canon stats are pretty terrible Lantz.
The only reason Saber Alter gained a boost to strength after being shadow nommed was the fact she could now use overpowered prana bursts. Even if he did get a boost via being altered up his stats would be C stength because his starting strength is D and Saber only went up one rank. (reinforcement with loads of mana shouldn't be able to make him climb two power rankings) Her agility was actually reduced so Archer would be at D rank not get boosted to B rank after the corruption. His Magical ability is at D, are you talking in skill because then I could understand but if you are discussing overall Mana then he just dropped two ranks from canon. Is this because of the lack of master? Then if so that means all of his stats would be lowered accordingly.

Why does he have gold eyes? Alter had gold eyes because of the dragon aspect inside her (look at fate zero when she was distressed he eyes blinked gold for a few seconds, the alteration unleashed some of that), if the rest of his body changed he should have the usual steel grey that he would normally get.

Why is he a "knight of Chaos", why is Rin crazy? Everything you've written is honestly just kind of confusing at best.

What about declaring right here who you're okay to engage in combat with? Or if you even want fights involving your characters at all. Would probably avoid future headaches about this particular issue.


Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: lantzblades on May 27, 2014, 09:32:54 PM
His stats are different because Rin messed around. She's crazy because she Dark, there's more to it but again not relevant to playing Archer. Gold eyes are the standard for art of him in that dark form.

he is the knight of chaos because Rin calls him a knight (and he is a knight servant) and he spreads chaos death and destruction on Rin's orders.

Already covered that Daiki, I told people to message me for events and such to avoid problems.

Rin is basically the max stats you can get from pure prana.
You can call him a reaper, a knight of destruction but unless he actively starts chaos I don't think that counts.
Are you Saying Rin is capable of boosting Archers Rank up several levels?
I think you might be confusing Rin's magical knowledge with Medea's because the best Medea does is make the guy a wand.
Again why is Rin dark?
Is this Archer supposed to be Alter?
How is he Alter?

You don't know what superfluous means do you.

Superfluous
adjective
unnecessary, especially through being more than enough.
"the purchaser should avoid asking for superfluous information"
synonyms: surplus (to requirements), nonessential, redundant, unneeded, excess, extra, (to) spare, remaining, unused, left over, in excess, waste

In other words, something which defines the nature of your character is in no way "superfluous". Rather it would be essential.

Yes, it is. He forgot to add it to the sheet, both in the original version of the RP (even though he was dark for most of that) and now in this version. And, neither I nor Elf noticed it missing from the old version, and nor did I notice it missing from the new version.

It is a proven five part clerical error. I edited the original sheet and missed adding the dark bit, mike edited the sheet and missed that fact, elf accepted the sheet and missed that fact. All in the original RP where he was dark. After that I reedited the sheet for the new format and forgot to mention the dark bit on the sheet after removing a few things, Elf accepted the sheet again and again missed the lack of it. It's just a running clerical error.

Though Minato's sheet also had (and has) a note on it about being subject to periodic edits for clarification, flavor text addition, persona changes, ect, so that may have a bit to do with it.

The worse that can happen at this point is the same thing that is more likely than not to happen if he does nothing, so why not try?

I really dislike seeing friends upset, frustrated, and/or stressed out. But to bring Revy/Alice to this point - for her to say "kill yourself" in anger?
I think I might actually hate you two, Mike, lantz, rather than just being annoyed and sometimes aggravated.

I was hoping the reboot for do wonders for the RP, but more than that that it would help alleviate some of the stress that the "lantz drama" caused and causes Revy/Alice. But apparently that's too much to ask for.

I woke up to getting to RP alongside Daiki again - teaming up, temporary or not, with Enkidu no less - and Daiki's Enkidu might also "vanish" because this is exactly the type of bullshit that lead to Daiki leaving previously.

My good mood is very much fucking ruined.

Yeah, same here, which is why I try to avoid my friends (which includes Lantz) getting hurt.

Being friends with lantz and being friends with Revy/Alice seems to be a conflict of interest, because all lantz does is cause Revy/Alice stress and you back lantz up and defend him.

Yes, it is somewhat contradictory, which is why this whole situation is such a mess. It's not like that was intentional, though, I was friends with them both well before Alice started hating Lantz. I've tried to deal with this for a long time, but it's just become harder and harder, and finally it reached a point where there is just no solution there.

And, honestly, I think Lantz gets too much of the blame for what happens here. Sure, people react to things he does, but their reactions are often what cause the stress, not Lantz himself (at least recently, anyway). And, most of the time, there is no need for them to react at all.

God bless me, the Co-GM. I am now wondering how to usurp Mike and obtain ALL of the power of the forum.

Okay, first off, you know how when you get warnings they're private until you get your last one and it's public; This is that. Quite a shame that my first post as Co-GM needs to be this one, but were it not for the circumstances at present I would not have my new role.

Due to a variety of factors and the "last chance" given and all, I'd like to point out Lantzblades's last post in the RP proper, and its violation of rule 6: Though shalt not write poorly to an extreme.

Quote
Sakura smiled as she appeared in the dark city. "Satoshi I need you to scout out the area while I clean out our new residence" she said pointing to an abandoned factory near their arrival point.

Satoshi grunted and leapt onto a nearby rooftop lamenting  his mistakes in their battle.

His features had become pale and his eyes gold. ' in the future, don't worry about breaking bones' he thought finding the nearby area seemingly deserted.

Sakura, on the other hand was greeted with the sounds of heavy dance music and the feeling of immediate violence. Without hesitation the shadow power swallowed the mass group of what Sakura realized were vampires without allowing them to scream.

"Good, nice and clean" she chuckled.

****

Sakura Tohsaka landed on a rooftop in the west end on the city. "Note to self, carry landing braces" she muttered noticing her near appearance in mid air.

Switching on her recorder Sakura began her log " Entry one, gear is mostly gone, need replacements, cityscape seems charged with prana, will make further entries when my gear is back" she said switching the recorder off.

Looking around she found the roof access and began attempting to unlock it to avoid using magic as much as possible.
Take a look at this punctuation, if you'd please, and no, I am not kidding. This punctuation is horrendous and makes my heart bleed out. Where are the commas? I count three. More than thrice that would be required. Even reading this post made me feel out of breath and wheezy!

Just because you are posting by phone, Lantz, you are not given a lower standard over everyone else.

You are lucky about one thing I will respect that Elf has asked me: As GM, she gave you a last chance you have squandered, however she asked that as Co-GM I do the same that she did. So, there it is. You are not kicked.

But I am by far, leagues even, a stricter judge than Elf ever was. A single punctuation error is not enough, nor is one or two for grammar, but another post, nay, third a post like this one will be.

You are honestly lucky to have this, and honestly unlucky to have me. Phone or not, write like you mean it, or don't bother.

As for everyone else, no fucking drama. Don't like someone's sheet because it's shit or makes no sense? Tell me to look at it. Think their post is fucking dumb? Tell me to look at it. Everyone who engages in an (unhealthy) argument will receive a warning from me both as a mod and a Co-GM. Cause too much shit and you're out, no matter who you are. We don't need another five pages of assorted shit about one subject.

Even me. If I catch myself making a drunk RP post, I am kicking myself out.

Keep calm and carry on.

One last thing: If a post is written like shit, bring it to my attention and say nothing about it. Anyone holding a post high and hollering "DOOHOOHOO UR BANNED UR FUCKIN OUT M8" will get a warning, no questions asked. You ain't in charge.

Thank you, Soldat. That made me laugh. Though now I am wondering how to make social links work without them being entirely arbitrary.

And why Mako has yet to be approved.

Because of everything that happened and trying to clean up after the fall out I haven't had time to do approvals today.

Most of you all don't know that I work full time with mandatory over time, and then there's writing deadlines I need to keep up on to keep my JukePop serial in the top 30 (so I can continue to get paid).

This is a fun hobby for me, but it's a hobby.  Real life and my professional writing come first.

I just wanted to remind everyone of this and that approvals won't be added again until Friday.  So if you've just posted a sheet, you've got time to add to it until then.

It's only far too high because throughout the entirety of 1.0 you were given a standard far too low. Good writing is in the rules, and I am here to see the rules upheld.

Completely wrong, if you were to make a post like... anyone else's, you'd be perfectly fine. Like a said, one or two punctuation errors is not enough, neither are grammar errors. Yours simply have too much.

If I wanted an excuse to have you out of the game I would have listened to 90% of what people were saying and double charged you with bad writing and godmodding for your first post. I don't want an excuse. I want the rules to be followed.

And you've already had a long enough term to improve, just look at how long 1.0 was. You still can't reach the standard I'm applying to everyone else?

That seems to be your problem, not mine.

Knick, is your "Shiro" actually Shirou? I'm just wondering because I was thinking of sending Kiyoshi his way (since Kiyoshi is likely to be alone when he arrives, and will need somewhere to go where he is safe), and if it is an alternate Shirou then that makes things very interesting indeed....

The reason I didn't post yet is that I needed to talk to you about where to go from there.

Is that an implicit threat towards Rider? Because if he attempts to kill Rider in Kiyoshi's presence, then he'll be the one finding himself hurting children....

He was a member of the Burial Agency. He is fairly duty bound to kill monsters such as Rider.

Also he would probably take care of the child that was being held by the monster afterwords, bringing her to live with the other kids. But overall there are far to many monsters in the Nexus City so he only kills those that threaten others. If he does not see Rider drink blood or kill he would probably let her go.

So if ya don't want conflict with the 4th member of the Burial Agency (ranked higher then Merem, who has 4 divine beasts) don't let him see Rider do those things, she probably picked up how to be careful especially around church people anyway through the years.

Well, yes, although it is hardly Rider's fault that she is like she is.

Quote

Except that said kid would be trying to kill him, because, to him, Rider is not a "monster", Rider is family. If you kill his aunt (or even attempt to do so), then as far as he is concerned you are a monster yourself, and nothing you say is going to convince him otherwise (at least if successful, if you fail it's possible that an apology and a promise to not do it again would be enough). Kiyoshi is only 12 or so, and he's pretty hot-blooded.

And, no, he can't be "disarmed" (because he uses magic), and nor is the fact that he's horribly outclassed going to stop him (because he's a kid, and his parents keep him the hell away from anything that can endanger him).

Well, she's careful about doing it full stop, doubly so when people are watching, and triply so when Kiyoshi (or anyone else in her family) is potentially watching.

Killing Rider wouldn't be easy, though, she is still a Heroic Spirit.

Does not matter really. Not the fault of magi that they where born that way either, but they still Heritics. The church hunts heritcs and inhuman monsters, it is just what they do. If they are born that way means nothing to them.

He think it some sort of mental control, he has seen such things, both by dead apostles and by the vampires of the city (especially since some of the kids he takes care of where basically being treated as mobile blood bags). He would basically treat him as a kid with a lot of trauma and try to break him out of it. Not that that actually what it is.

He will be bound by his shadow the moment he takes a hostile action to Shiro, a very effective method of stopping brainwashed kids from going bonkers. Cause he can do everything Ciel can do with Black Keys but better.

Killing Rider wouldn't be easy, though, she is still a Heroic Spirit.

No she is a servant, very diffrent. And Shiro can fight servants. Ciel the weakest can only fight defensively vs them, number 4 can actually match them. He is a monster.

Have you paid attention to ANYTHING Church related in the nasuverse?

They are not really nice people in general. I mean the people in them can be kind sure. But they still follow the tenets of the church.

Shiro however is a really nice guy with outstanding faith etched into his soul. He cannot doubt the church and its teaching, it literally not possible for him.

Also, I am going to say it now. Do NOT get into the evil debate. It is not the time or place for it. Nor is it at all relevant as we are simply discussing our characters, which is exactly one of the things this thread is for.

Executors aren't chosen for the kindness in their hearts. And the BA is a reunion of freaks that the Church itself doesn't really want to be related with but keeps them anyway because they are useful.

Kiyoshi has nothing to fear for magi that aren't a serious threat wouldn't be targeted.

No, that would be good. It is very possible for someone to be nice but not good to most people's views (since goodness is subjective).

Now lets NOT GET INTO THIS. It is not the place to discuss morality and good and evil. This thread is just for OOC talk about the RP, characters or what is happening in it.

Quote
Also, Kiyoshi is a magus (well, sort-of, anyway) but also a child, so what would he do there?

The fact that he is a child means he can still learn to serve the church or accept the churches teachings.

I mean they do have people with magecraft in their ranks, just like they have a DAA made by and is a loyal follower of Crimson Moon in their ranks. They are kinda hypocritical in that way. To Shiro that does not matter though because they are all servants of the lord.

Also look at Daiki's post.

You seem to be misunderstanding something.

Why would Shiro push someone to accept the 8th assembly? The only people that should follow that are the members of it and the Burial Agency, since they don't have to follow the other tenets. Shiro knows it takes an either massive amount of faith or a 'special' type of individual to do what he does. He would not force it on anyone.

Ughhh.

I have no idea what to do with Tokiomi after he turns down Minato's answer.

Also where is Minato's house?

It's Schrodinger's Dormitory it's everywhere and nowhere at the same time till I decide where it is.

Though, what are the odds of Shiro being acquainted with Minato if the dorm was set in no-man's land?

Well, he not approved yet. But the chance would be decent chance that he at least knows him (or of him) depending on Minato's actions.

Especially since Shiro will have basically become a boogeyman the supernatural in the area due to wiping out anyone that attacked the orphanage singlehandedly. Granted they where all mooks.

Sorry Kuro about taking so long to reply, I have no fucking idea what to with Tokiomi at the moment.

Think Jojo should reply first, will potentially give me something to jump off of.

Hopefully he will say something this time instead of sitting there thinking.

Though I should tell you, Minato is very good at reading people at this point, if Tokiomi has nowhere to go and lies about it, Minato will call him on it.

EDIT
Now I am resisting the urge to post more KLK characters.

Do we have any solid details about No Man's Land? The implication I've got is that it's a "supernatural rule mundane" section of Nexus City, but that could just be theories and hearsay. There's the logical train of thought where it's the "outcasts and shady dealings center", of course, but besides that no clue.

My main reason to bring it up is that Daiki and I were discussing venturing there - though Pyramid Head taking up residence there would be a deterrent to Lyco Aptera (me). Not a "no, never would go there" but more "nope nope nope NOPE" around Pyramid Head.

...I probably should've asked Daiki before stating that much, but I don't think it's a deal breaker? ^^;

Have him show up in the place Tokiomi set up, it an abandoned building. Set off traps that have no effect and have Tokiomi rush home to check what wrong.

Because a player has left us, his post in the RP that has not been responded to is erased to remove clutter. This will be standard scenario for anyone who leaves: Posts that have not been replied to are deleted. If for some reason you want the post, ask me. All erased posts are kept secret and safe.

As well, all characters belonging to a person who leaves will be moved to the rejected character sheets thread and designated as "Placed in this thread due to player leaving."

Quote from: Geist: The Sin Eaters
Threshold Resonance: When a Sin-Eater performs an act that resonates with his geist’s Threshold, he may regain plasm as the geist itself gains power due to the emotional strength of the action. A Sin-Eater with the Threshold of the Torn (death by violence) may regain plasm through violence to the brink of death — both by perpetrating it (possibly at a cost to Synergy) or suffering it (at a cost to health and sanity). The Sin- Eater must feel a deep and moving connection to the Threshold to regain plasm in this fashion. Typically, this means a Sin-Eater generates plasm when suffering damage or testing for degeneration of Synergy as a result of an action taken in conjunction with the Threshold. Some Sin-Eaters become “pain junkies” and deliberately seek out situations in which their Threshold will cause them suffering, thereby giving them a shot of plasm. When a Sin-Eater gains plasm in this fashion, the amount gained depends on how much the Sin-Eater is in conjunction with the Threshold

Lol, well, I'm OK with the concept of my characters getting raped (aside from Sakura's daughter, because it would break her a lot more), but I don't really want them killed. So, getting involved with that might be interesting, if there's a way to avoid the "kill" bit.

He'd regain plasm, just from doing enough physical pain and violence. Not much, but it'd be something.

Of course, damage done to him is different, and being a Sin Eater means he can't pass out due to pain or the like. I'd think Rider would like that far, FAR more than Law would.

Someone feel free to create a pissed off Luvia that's from that same continuity that wants to pile driver Mille for revenge. :P

(by the way, this is less to power up Mille and more to get Sapphire over without having to wait for someone to make Luvia. Ruby and Sapphire are going to abandon them both right away during their introduction anyway).

Well, yes, Rider would very definitely enjoy that. She's a hardcore sadist.

Personally, though, I tend to prefer situations where the sub is female (although not exclusively so), which is why I have tended to set such situations up when possible. Plus, this is a rare occasion where Rider would probably go too far even for me.

Strange, because they seem perfectly OK with hanging around on your "RP chat" despite the fact that I'm not allowed in it for "personal reasons"....

Because we don't threaten people with administrator power over petty bullshit.

I'll end the argument here, because Mike has repeatedly proven himself to be impossible to reason with.

Characters in denial about that are fun. :3 I think most people have trouble playing neutral though because most people can't quite process that level of morality. They can see black and white, but not quite that grey area in-between. So in trying to be neutral, they still swing heavily one way or the other, not really knowing what neutral really means in the end. It can be a really tough alignment to get right for that reason alone. ^^"

The biggest problem with neutral is playing someone neutral who isn't really dull. It's easy to be neutral by doing nothing, but being neutral whilst doing things is a lot more difficult.

Rin, however, fails "neutral" badly, even more so post-HF, and I think she has somewhat accepted that, so I think she's less of an issue. Mille, on the other hand, is much more in denial, I think.

Neutral is the rational alignment. Not concerned with good or evil.

It does not mean do nothing, It means you act smartly and not influenced by morality and desires.

Saying those that are neutral do nothing is ignorant and foolish.

For that matter, a neutral person could be someone who gives no fucks about good, evil, etc. and just wants to live his life free of morality influencing his actions one way or the other. Neutrality is as much denying the extremes as it is practicing moderation.

I don't think it's quite that. Neutral people still have some morality, it just tends to be more limited to things they won't do. If you're acting purely selfishly and without concern for others, then you're evil. Evil does not mean "actively trying to make people suffer", that is only the cartoon version.

I never said that. However, as a general rule, the smart thing to do is usually nothing, so neutral characters are harder to motivate.

There is also Lawful Neutral who obeys law over his personal inclinations or morality codes.

Yeah, I was talking specifically of True Neutral here, though. Lawful and Chaotic Neutral are a little easier (especially Lawful Neutral, although more so if you have someone to follow).

Remember Tom from last game (and who's sheet I still need to get up)? He was true neutral. He wasn't too boring was he? True, he started doing more good things once more under Forest's influence, but he still had character beyond that.

He'd regain plasm, just from doing enough physical pain and violence. Not much, but it'd be something.

Of course, damage done to him is different, and being a Sin Eater means he can't pass out due to pain or the like. I'd think Rider would like that far, FAR more than Law would.

Well, yes, Rider would very definitely enjoy that. She's a hardcore sadist.

Personally, though, I tend to prefer situations where the sub is female (although not exclusively so), which is why I have tended to set such situations up when possible. Plus, this is a rare occasion where Rider would probably go too far even for me.
Late on the reply on this but that could work with Law, if the driver starts egging him on/gains a measure of control. The Driver will be very very happy with the idea of feeling sex again, and inflicting violence with it. Law's more squeemish, but the Driver could browbeat him into it.

Hmm, OK.

I'm not sure how it would come about, though. Would this be him getting consent from Rider, or him forcing it on Rider?

And, well, as with Law, Rider is pretty hardy, so you can get away with somewhat more than usual. I'm not sure what sort of "violence" he'd go for, though.

There is also Lawful Neutral who obeys law over his personal inclinations or morality codes.

Isn't Lawful Neutral traditionally supposed to be a character non-inclined to biases or particular actions that benefit some people or themselves over others, while adhering to some sort of personal code or set of firm rules?

Obviously one possible interpretation is a character who follows the law above all over his personal inclinations, but that's not all there is to it. You could make a lawful neutral mercenary who has a very strict professional code he always follows.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Cherry Lover on May 29, 2014, 04:12:36 PM
Well, I think that Lawful Neutral means you follow a fairly rigid set of rules or laws which you will almost never break, but will not generally either harm or protect others outside of those rules. It also tends to mean that you follow the letter of the law over the spirit of it, I think (more so than Lawful Good, who will tend to bend the letter of the law a bit in order to do the right thing).

Or at least avoid doing so if it violates the set of rules they follow in any way.

Whatever, a social link does not start with friendship anyway, and a magus like Tokiomi likely wouldn't think of Minato as a friend until around level five, and wouldn't trust him fully till level eight or nine.

To put it simply, the ten levels of a social link cover the entire range between "New aquaintance who I may speak with again" and "Super best friends forever nothing will break us apart so don't even try".

Then again, this is Tokiomi...

Ya, sorry for not making all that clear.

Tokiomi is a bit over the top when he talks sometimes. And sometimes I channel that when writing.

He views him at most as a friendly acquaintance at most, he is slow to trust unless he has a very reason to do so.

Edit: Now that I am actually on a computer I edited Tokiomi's post, changing friend to acquaintance. Hope that make's it easier to understand what Tokiomi is thinking. Sorry for any confusion.

I have no intention of forcing it, if he doesn't want social links on his characters all he has to do is say so, the same for everyone else.

As it is though, while the players can use the social link as an excuse for a power boost, it can just as easily do nothing but serve as a relationship gauge for Minato.

But Social Links are a very important part of playing Minato and is sort of needed for his character.

Post by: Brahmastra on May 30, 2014, 04:20:26 AM
So I've neglected to actually speak up about this until now, but honestly I find Minato to be absolutely ridiculous. Not just in terms of stats, but also in how he acts.

1. He has Servant stats before applying any boosts or using his Evoker. I repeat, an ordinary highschooler with an average physique has stats that equal 20 or 30 times those or ordinary humans (Depending on whether it's C or D rank respectively). This is just flat out retarded, no two ways about it. Even with a Persona he's just scratching WAY too high on the Servant scale.

2. He still has Charisma, that was removed.

3. A highschooler with above average grades somehow has intellegence "beyond the peak of humanity". Yeah, no.

4. He has an Enuma Elish equivalent. Enuma Elish is a concept that literally predates Earth and has such a stupendous amount of power that it cant even be listed. Why in the name of all that is holy does Minato have anything on this scale?

5. A sword that can somehow cut anything that apparently exceeds Excalibur? Highly unbelievable.

6. A solid asston of ridiculously powerful abilities with no compatible statting (other than the fact that all of them have numerical stats that, on your scale, would have them land B's and A's on the Servant scale in every category).

7.  What's the point of having Social Links when you're playing 100% Minato with every maxed out Persona who's this messiahnic posthuman capable of anything? The fun (to me) of playing such a character like a Persona MC would be having them develop throughout the RP.

8. Last, and most importantly, is that he's basically godmoding (even if you deny that with the fact that you didnt give him the item that makes him, you know, immune to ANYTHING)/metagaming. Bullshit-Zelretch-fic-tier teleporting outside-of-space-and-time dorm with more stuff in it than you can shake a stick at, consumable items for literally every situation (none of which are listed on his character profile), apparently has stuff like "How to survive in the Nexus: the book" (Excuse but u wot?) and worst of all; his complete and total domination of every scene he is in. Not in the physical violent sense, in the sense that he completely shuts down other people's character interaction by having the situation always centered on himself. Can you really, honestly, truthfully tell me that his interactions with JoJo and Tokiomi was him/you not destroying any attempt at JoJo or Tokiomi being able to interact, while steering the situation 1000%?

You're not a bad RP'er Kuro, and that's why I'm giving you my honest criticism instead of hiding behind thinly veiled insults like I would with Lantz. I just want you to know that me (and a good handful of the other RP'ers i've conversed with, most of them familiar enough with Persona to know your character inside-out) think that Minato might be just a bit over-the-top, and that you may want to tone him down considerably.

I did wonder what made you decide to do the endgame MC Kurogami.
With F/SN it can pull off characters that reached the end of their roles in their stories well mainly because their stories didn't exactly have happy endings. Continuing after what seems to be an MC that has gotten the best possible outcome isn't exactly exciting as they already have everything going for them and the only way you can make that interesting is if you write a story about their fall.
Also while social links are integral to Persona you already have the maxed versions so what would you or the other people gain out of it?
We also have some powerful characters Kuro but in order to interact with somone as a friend and get close to them they can't seem so alien the Persona 3 MC you are playing does. In the persona games you start relatively weak and on the same level as most social links don't you? Or at the very least they should be unaware of your abilities during the link creation if they are normal, right? Unless most relationships are made to develop the relatrionship between god tier MC and relatively pitiful mortal (I haven't played teh persona series cut me some slack) which I think would get boring after a while.

Explanation of my badness part 1

1. He has Servant stats before applying any boosts or using his Evoker. I repeat, an ordinary highschooler with an average physique has stats that equal 20 or 30 times those or ordinary humans (Depending on whether it's C or D rank respectively). This is just flat out retarded, no two ways about it. Even with a Persona he's just scratching WAY too high on the Servant scale.

Yes it is...

I ended up settling on this way of setting stats because I had nothing better at the time; afterwards I did think of two other ways I could have done it, but implementing them would require me to rewrite most of my sheet. I did however recently think of just setting Xs for his stats with a note that his base stats are equal to the listed stats for the equipped persona, with the evoked persona having double that, does that sound marginally better?

2. He still has Charisma, that was removed.

I will semi jokingly say that it is not a charisma stat but a skill. More seriously, calling it charisma was a joke on the fact that a maxed charm stat is called "Charismatic" the description of the skill basically says it is how attractive you are, the how it affects people thing is semantic bullshitery.

3. A highschooler with above average grades somehow has intellegence "beyond the peak of humanity". Yeah, no.

This I honestly just misworded, I tried to say "near the peak of humanity" then changed to "beyond what can be achieved simply through study" to make it more vague and it turned into that without me noticing. I will fix that with the rest later.


There Will Be More.

Very glad that you're taking this to heart. I could see his current base stats being roughly the same or perhaps slighter lower than him with Messiah (which, IIRC, is the strongest Persona there is), if you're revamping his stats. Without using his Evoker he should probably have C-B mortal (average-to-above-average) in every stat.

The revamp to Intelligence being "This dude is pretty fucking smart for a highscooler" works a lot better.

Before I begin this next part I must make clear that while I do have every intent on trying to make Minato more tolerable for everyone, my sanity would not be able to withstand a rewrite and I do still want him to be powerful, so while I am willing to make compromises I do not intend to nerf him to the point that I can no longer play the way I wish to. That being said if he is truly still intolerable after the changes I will soon be making then I will make a post or two more with him to get Tokiomi and Jojo out of the dorm and then ask that Minato be officially removed.

Explanation of my badness part 2

4. He has an Enuma Elish equivalent. Enuma Elish is a concept that literally predates Earth and has such a stupendous amount of power that it cant even be listed. Why in the name of all that is holy does Minato have anything on this scale?

This was actually entirely intentional on my part, and it is the end of the freaking world, not maybe the end, not mostly the end, THE END.

It should be able to match the beginning of it, not even getting into the fact that it is used by merging the power of Helel and Satan, two of the heaviest hitters in the cosmos even at reduced power.

That being said the usage requirements are immense. He has to be at full prana to use it, and when he does it uses all of his prana, to the point that a second shot the same day is impossible, Period; Regardless of if he uses it at the lowest or highest setting. So at best, he could match max output EE ONCE, after which point Minato is basically useless and Gilgamesh is free to use the same attack that Minato just stopped, Again. Said fight against Gil is the only reason I can be certain I would ever use it anyway.

5. A sword that can somehow cut anything that apparently exceeds Excalibur? Highly unbelievable.

Not really...

My humor shines through a bit on this too. Strictly speaking it is a sword of cutting, and Excalibur is not, Invisible Air is a better cutting tool than Excalibur in most cases. Also the persona three Excalibur is actually weaker than the Holy Grail Lucifer. So it is superior to the Excalibur from it's original world as well.

Plus It is a Holy Grail Sword of Light Forged From the Jewels of Lucifer's Crown...

But no, I am not expecting it to slice through NPs, Steel and Stone yes, but not NPs, or True Magic stuff.

There is still more, bear (heh) with me.

With F/SN it can pull off characters that reached the end of their roles in their stories well mainly because their stories didn't exactly have happy endings. Continuing after what seems to be an MC that has gotten the best possible outcome isn't exactly exciting as they already have everything going for them and the only way you can make that interesting is if you write a story about their fall.

I don't think that's necessarily true. My characters are generally happy, for example, they can still have adventures. Sure, a happy ending makes it hard for him to do much in his world, but once he moves somewhere else it's another matter.

Yeah, but gold is also a terrible material for making armour, yet most games still have the best armour being golden (and Gil's armour is the same). It's just video game physics.

Hell, even Rin has a gem sword, and you never hear anyone talk about how brittle it is (although, admittedly, she doesn't use it as a normal sword...).

Actually, the best armor types in video games metal wise (assuming they don't use mythril or oricalchum instead) tend to be platinum every bit as often as gold. ...which is an even softer metal, but eh. :V

Really, in the case of a lot of those games, it's not really like that for a practical reason so much as a convenient shorthand for, "this here sword's even better than that there sword if yer too lazy to look at the stats!" I don't think it happens as often now, and if anything, likely any gold or platinum sword is either just plated with those metals or like Goldie's armor are enchanted to the brim.

Old fashioned RPGs aren't the best reference for that, in other words. :P

Though in the case of Persona 3? I don't remember there being anything about gem swords like that. Granted, I haven't gotten far into the game, but I would think that even though this is a game where high school kids summon powerful spirits via doing something that suspiciously looks like shooting themselves in the head, that there would be slightly more realism with the weapons at least, material-wise. So there's that to consider. ...People who have gotten further into Persona 3 can correct me on that though. ^^"

Well, I dunno, but I'd guess that there is some mechanic as to why the sword works (firstly, magic, secondly it is probably not literally just made of gemstones).

It is made out of jewels, but they are also jewels from the crown of an angel so that makes it speshul.

Durandal is one of the few NP's most likely to live to the modern age (especially with that sword in the location in France i specified actually sitting in a cliffside (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/Rocam_durandal_082005.jpg/800px-Rocam_durandal_082005.jpg)) due to it being unbreakable and undullable. And the Barthomeloi having a holy weapon to combat vampires with is not even remotely unbelievable if that Chinese Emperor NP the Tsubaki's in Strange Fake recovered is functional.

Also the weapon that will become a NP might still have the powers of the original, just without the boost of being a NP and having a legend. Look at K&B, they are Noble Phantasm level swords despite not being Noble Phantasms. But they would be better if they where.

WRONG


Lorelei is explicitly stated to:

A) Use only the most basic spells, and
B) Is only a couple steps away from achieving True Magic with them


We're talking someone who hunts Dead Apostle Ancestors on a red moon for fun.

In classic RP terms, she's someone who with her base spell (let's use "Magic Missile" as an example), is capable of doing 999999999 damage. In other words she's that person who pours all of her points into stats and can do everything better than everyone even with the most basic skills. So, yes, her magic capability is on par with or exceeds Medea's. Do agree parts of the sheet are a little over the top, though.

Yeah, the Barthomeloi have special Magic Circuits.

The hunting on red moon isn't for fun. She's just the only one who dares to take the unnecessary risks.

"Strongest known living human" is still several levels below "heroic spirit".

Aoko can fight with average Servants. Ciel can to an extent. So not necessarily severals level below. Barty is a way better magus than both. She could match Servants in the right conditions. Forget engaging physically with Berserker or going for sword fight with Saber, but the possibility is there.

It's more of a matter of affinity and concept than raw power. However, the top ten are at least a match for the high end Servants and iirc, they are specified to be non-killable at this point by the Church. So it's a matter of who has the means to kill the other. For example, I don't think there are many HS who can deal with Nrvnqsr while he could swallow most of them.

So, yes, her magic capability is on par with or exceeds Medea's. Do agree parts of the sheet are a little over the top, though.

Well, it's not even just Medea. A+ servant magic means "just about the best magician who has existed in all of history". I find that extremely hard to believe.

In particular, her magic stat is absurd. There is no way in hell she is better at magic than Medea, which is what you are implying.

The output or potential might be superior, it doesn't mean she equals or can best Medea in a match. AoG magecraft is ridiculously OP. Even Aoko with the Fifth can't beat her.

Yes, which is my point. If he says she as A+ magic ability on the servant scale, that means she is as good as the best AoG magicians (who would also come out as A+ magic ability). Which just seems absurd to me.

The "Magic Ability" stat isn't a measure of prana (which I don't think she has an exceptional amount of anyway), it's a measure of how good she is at magic. I can't see how she can be as good as the best AoG magicians.

What Daiki said. Lorelei probably could never beat Medea in a straight Magecraft fight, but Medea has the physical abilities of a wet paper bag and would get slapped the shit out of her with some holy mithril while Lorelei fended off her attacks.

Sure (even Rin managed that, after all), but I'm talking about the "Magic Ability" stat specifically. Your stats imply that Lorelei could beat Medea in a battle of pure magic.

Magic Ability should regroup more than that imo but w/e, that's not even relevant here.

Quote
The "Magic Ability" stat isn't a measure of prana (which I don't think she has an exceptional amount of anyway)

She's described as having more circuits than the 2000+ years old director of the MA(An AoG magus). Add to that A+++ circuits quality and you get a pretty powerful magus. Extremely old house of magi which put to shame those like the Edelfelt (also AoG lineage which inherited a weapon from a god).

Quote
it's a measure of how good she is at magic. I can't see how she can be as good as the best AoG magicians.

But she's in the same range as Medea. Only she can't hope to win against an AoG magus because compatibility is terrible.

To give you an idea, let's go with the Gandr shot Rin uses in FSN which is a basic curse. Let's imagine an average magus like Waver using it. Let's assume Lorelei also knows it. The three of them use it. Waver can somewhat manage to reproduce the effect and cripple his opponent. Rin, being very skilled overall and having it in her Crest can push to the level of physical interference and shoot through a wall. Lorelei can blow up half the school with hers. Yes, that's ridiculous but that's how good she is.

Also just because she has A+ magic ability doesn't mean she's better than Medea as a magus. That's her ability at modern magecraft.

Medea doesn't even have Circuits, and mostly uses High Speed Divine Words. They use fundamentally different kinds of magic, so even if Lorelei has A+ magic ability in the "Servant Scale" it doesn't make her more powerful than Medea.

Hmm about lorelei, do I think she could beat Medea in a fight? No, no I do not, not in the slightest she is in the range that Medea would take the most seriously and though she's strong I do believe that Medea is a lot stronger.

However do I believe that her stats are correct? Well... Maybe, And that comes from what I know about another clock tower magus, Kayneth. Apparently he's a prodigy which apparently includes having an insane magical capacity something like 2000 when compared to Waver's 1. So that gives me the belief that perhaps she does have A rank though rather then saying A rank as a whole perhaps say something like A rank modern magic and have her AoG knowledge be a separate rank altogether.

You're not exactly unbiased on this topic. If Rin can beat Medea through cancelling out her spells and then entering close combat, then Lorelei can damn well do the same and twice as well. She can trade even hits with Enhance, who'd tear Rin 5 new ones.

The reason he went to Opera School was because his parents were afraid for him.  See they lived in San Fransisco's Chinatown and at sixteen Donnie was the head of a gang so to calm him down they sent him away.  The funny thing is though, like Bruce Lee, a lot of his skill came from practical use.

I just wish he got more popularity in the states.  He's freaking awesome (and damned easy on the eyes).

Here is some more of me making bad excuses for my shity Noob tier RPing

Gaze upon my immense badness and tremble!

Explanation of my badness part 3

6. A solid asston of ridiculously powerful abilities with no compatible statting (other than the fact that all of them have numerical stats that, on your scale, would have them land B's and A's on the Servant scale in every category).

Besides a very general scale for attack spells I can't exactly offer much on this front other than that I will try to keep some balance in narrative.

The very rough general scale taking Agi as an example; The ma- spells get pluses added due to the widened range.

Agi- C
Maragi- C+ (Spread over an area, individual damage is C)
Agilao- A
Maragilao- A+ (Spread over an area, a human sized being will recieve B-A rank Damage)
Agidyne- A++
Maragidyne- A+++ (Basically an army killer spell, individual damage is A++)
Ragnarok- EX (Ultimate Fire Spell, May come with a usage limit. Nuke um)

This scale may need some adjustment, but it is very general, plus I would add that the higher tier spells are used by high tier demons/gods.

If I do put a limit on the top tier spells it will likely be a one use per Battle limit, maybe even disabling the Persona that used it for the rest of the battle as well.

7.  What's the point of having Social Links when you're playing 100% Minato with every maxed out Persona who's this messiahnic posthuman capable of anything? The fun (to me) of playing such a character like a Persona MC would be having them develop throughout the RP.

There is no point, I just wanted to have social links, at this point I will likely take them out or rework them into something different.

As for the Messianic part, he is a messiah so that part is a given; I find the posthuman thing confusing though so I have nothing I can say about that. As for why post game Minato, I just wanted to, there is no deep abiding reason to it; I did it because I felt like it. (Scum that prefers NG+)

If I am being honest, I picked Minato in general because his personality is determined by the player for the most part, so I would not have to worry about being called on OOCness if some of my personality bled through...

The last one gets it's own post cause it's gonna take a whole post to answer.

Well, yeah, you just left me kind-of shafted here. If I'd not worked it out then I'd have been left with Rider in a position I didn't want to be in (and, if she'd appeared close to you as originally intended, I have no idea how we could have worked it from there, since Law would have been almost obliged to come after her, and there's no way I'm having her end up in a jar).

This is why Lantz quitting is so shit, because he is actually willing to do the stuff I like, whereas no-one else is. I had something really good planned with him for Rider, and now I don't have a fucking clue where to go at all.

You can always do something that isn't sexually related with Rider. You can have Rider act as a body guard, you can have her just interact with people normally, you can have her develop a non-sexual relationship with someone, like of friendship or have her work with someone for some reason but have there be conflict between them.  There are options.

Hell, if you really want you can her target someone in the city and hunt them down, out of interest or something. It would allow a game of cat and mouse between rider and someone else.

I don't know why that is, but it certainly seems to be.

Admittedly, the stuff I like is rather extreme....

Well, I was thinking of porn specifically. I'm sure I can find someone for Rider to talk to, but I don't know if there is anyone in the game who is going to do the sort of stuff I enjoy.

And, anyway, she won't act as a bodyguard for someone else or anything like that, she's Sakura's servant.

Rider isn't like that, though. The only reason she'd hunt someone down is if they were a person she felt deserved it, and unless they were extremely powerful she'd catch them pretty damn quick, I suspect.

To be fair, whilst it is true that I am pretty extreme, not everyone has the same issue with such extremity as you do. Plus, whilst I wasn't opposed to increasing how extreme the stuff with Law was, you were the one who suggested doing so. All I did was point out that Rider would consider "biting and scratching" to be very mild indeed, given who she is and what she's been through in the past.

Explanation of my badness part Final

8. Last, and most importantly, is that he's basically godmoding (even if you deny that with the fact that you didnt give him the item that makes him, you know, immune to ANYTHING)/metagaming.

Ok so this I cannot arbitrarily deny, due to inherent bias (Mine). I will however try to reasonably argue that it wasn't, though you are free to call me on my bullshit.

Bullshit-Zelretch-fic-tier teleporting outside-of-space-and-time dorm with more stuff in it than you can shake a stick at,

Seven or eight personae can create a vast underground labyrinth, perpetuate an infinite time loop, and facilitate full on time travel. Minato has 200 at minimum.

Though it is not outside either time or space, it is affected by time normally but occupies multiple points of space.

As for the stuff in it, most of it is stuff he picked in Tartaros, treasures, weapons, ect. Most of which has little use and is of little value other than ooh shiny. Some of it may come into play later but most of it is just shiny stuff on a wall.

The Tea he bought in a specialty shop that was recommended to him.

consumable items for literally every situation (none of which are listed on his character profile),

I will add mention of his inventory in my profile edit. I will try not to be too unbalanced with item use.

apparently has stuff like "How to survive in the Nexus: the book" (Excuse but u wot?)


Maybe I should have just called it that...

That was a heavy handed reference to Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, and to be honest given the sheer number of people in the nexus, and that there is apparently no such thing as a native, I would be more surprised if nobody had written a book on how to survive there by now.

and worst of all; his complete and total domination of every scene he is in. Not in the physical violent sense, in the sense that he completely shuts down other people's character interaction by having the situation always centered on himself. Can you really, honestly, truthfully tell me that his interactions with JoJo and Tokiomi was him/you not destroying any attempt at JoJo or Tokiomi being able to interact, while steering the situation 1000%?

This I must apologize for. By the time I realized what I had done I was stuck at a point that I just had to keep going and hope for the best. To Knick and Kat, I am Sorry.

Minato's Personae are supposed to affect how he acts, but I ended up overdoing it, sorry.

There is not really anything else I can say but that I will try to get better.

To clarify, the labyrinth was created by inactive personae passively over several months due to the SEES members desire to see Minato again IIRC.

More like he tried to control the ridiculous warping of time space around his body brought on by having 200+ personae with meditation he learned from his school nurse, and the mysteriously uncertain dorm is the fallout from the first and biggest failure. He eventually learned to do small things like make rooms bigger (gradually over the course of weeks), and hide small items in folds of space. He won't risk doing anything bigger than that though.

A year later and he still has yet to figure out how to fix the dorm back to one place.

Yeah, honestly Mil, I'd probably delete that post and have Haruna go with another group that's easier to enter. Rin and Mille are in Tokiomi's workshop (along with Tokiomi himself), only one floor away from being at the top floor of a fancy apartment complex/condominium. Haruna would have had to make her way past the reception lady unnoticed, and then know which floor and room it even was in order to make it there. So yeah, probably another group would work better. ^^"

I'm taking a spot for Alucard (a.k.a Vlad from Hellsing Abridged), Apocrypha Vlad (a.k.a. Vlad from Apocrypha), and Castlevania Dracula (a.k.a. Vlad from Castlevania).

Cheers!

Can I make a suggestion to the rule system? I know you already went through the reboot and everything but It would be nice to see a bit more of standardization of this. It's a fantasy RP so magical abilities are emphasized heavily. Though the magical ability section is really vague. I understand that is in order to be compatible with the many verse systems that we work with. I believe though that it would be nice to split up Magical ability into seperate parameters just like how Speed is now general speed and agility.

I believe that it would be nice modification to have a statistic for Magical Capacity (not unlike the Mana stat in F/SN), Magical Skill (the general level of magical competence) and a section for teh abilities themselves. I say this due to the fact that in the abilities section people still give a statistic along with the abilities themselves often and sometimes it's hard to get a good picture of one's magical ability even if you know their specific skills. It would be a small edit for all the players in the game so far and it would be quick edit to the rules so I hope that you can integrate this in.

Finally got Tom fielded. Don't take the fact that he's near the Compound too much to heart, I'm honestly still not sure what I'm going to do with him as of yet. :P He's there if anyone needs him though.

And yeah, honestly, a revamp of the magic system might not be a bad idea. A bit of a pain since everyone would have to go back and add that to their sheets, but it might not be a bad idea anyway since we have so many mages running around.

I just want to see some more specifics on capacity vs. skill.
Because sometimes people give ranks to it and I can't tell anything about them because take for example I'm making a dragon. They have a ton of Mana but their magical ability is non existent beyond his natural demonic abilties so his magical skill would be low in ranking.

I also see people being very variable in their interpretations in teh system and while I like variable abilities I just want a more standardized system of interpretation.

Well, the abilities are already included, I think, although that could be more specific. I agree entirely that a separate stat for capacity and ability would be useful, though, especially for servants (who rely on magical capacity to survive, but don't necessarily possess much if any magical ability). Indeed, if you look at Rider's sheet, I basically made such a breakdown already (I just used the stat for capacity, and added a description of her magical ability).

And yeah, honestly, a revamp of the magic system might not be a bad idea. A bit of a pain since everyone would have to go back and add that to their sheets, but it might not be a bad idea anyway since we have so many mages running around.

It's not just the mages. Servants could really do with that distinction, because their mana supply is extremely important (it determines how effectively they can fight and how long they can last) but unrelated to their magical ability (which could be effectively zero).

You missed a teeny detailed in your post Jenn.

Flying in the same direction his protectorates had escaped, Karna cowardly fled the field, tired of the bird's antics.

His eyes quickly found the building where he could see the metal bird and the blonde vampire arguing with another stranger, and his body followed his gaze, flying at rapid speeds toward the entrance.

With a crashing sound, Karna landed on the ground near the door in a low stance, his suit still flawless despite the dust that was now in the air.

Servants in Spirit form can technically attack others in the same state, Mike, but the damage they do, even if they are Berserkules-tier, is so superficial that there's literally no point to it.

Basically, if whatever Spirit you're hitting in Spirit Form has 10000 HP and regens 10 of those a second, another Spirit would be whacking it for 1-2 hp.

That seems unlikely to me, otherwise why wouldn't a servant just go into spirit form to avoid attacks?
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Alice on June 06, 2014, 03:37:53 PM
Likely it's due to a window of vulnerability when switching states. The enemy Servant could attack them while they're focused on changing forms, and I imagine a good number of Servants would be fast enough to do so. Plus if their Master is present, that leaves them wide open for the enemy Servant to kill, so that means the Servant is as good as dead in a lot of cases anyway. I imagine most of them wait until they're at a relatively safe distance and/or their master is out of range of being killed by the enemy Servant before switching.

The impression I always got is that a servant could fight another servant whilst in spirit form, and I see no reason why that shouldn't be the case. Is there anything that actually says otherwise, or is Brah just pulling stuff out of his ass?

I would have to look it up for myself (my memory is crap at the moment ^^"), but one thing to consider is this: if they can fight each other in spirit form, why don't they do so on a regular basis? That implies there's something disadvantageous to doing so even if it is possible to fight in that form.

Do you ever see Servants in the visual novel fight each other in Spirit Form even when it would be advantageous to do so? Like, say, during the day? They only ever seem to use spirit form to scout and move around to a more tactically sound position.

And I'll remind you in Zero it was pretty much the same thing. Berserkerlot going into spirit form to escape once he got all beat up, Diarmuid going into spirit form to get over the former's jet and then turning physical to stab it with his anti-prana connections spear...

That implies there's something disadvantageous to doing so even if it is possible to fight in that form.

The thing is, though, that logic applies the opposite way. If staying in spirit mode allows you to avoid a fight, then why not do so? It doesn't seem to take more than a tiny fraction of a second to change form, so you should be able to do it in the time that it takes for a servant to charge a Noble Phantasm. Further, there are plenty of situations in which a servant fights without their master present, and if your logic is right then doing so would be a massive advantage, since you could just abandon the fight at any time, or even just turn into spirit form and head for the master.

I think that the master issue is probably something to do with it. If one servant stays in spirit form to fight, then the other can just change into normal form and head straight for the master. It's also possible that a servant in normal form can damage one in spiritual form but not the converse, and that fighting in spiritual form would therefore just invite the other servant to change to normal form to defeat you.

Well, a jet is a physical object, so to interact with that they'd certainly need to be in normal form.

Mike, Servants take physical form to hurt the other Servant's physical form, which in turn harms it's spiritual form. If two invisible, intangible ghosts bump into each other repeatedly, do you think that they'll actually take damage? A battle between Servants is literally just two Spirits trying to hurt each other enough until their spiritual cores are beyond repair, the core taking damage from trying to keep the physical shape together.

Also, if Servants could literally just jump in and out of Spirit Form willy nilly at FTL speeds, no one would ever get hit. That makes for a boring fight.

But, yet, Lancer was able to go into spirit form in order to jump onto Berserker's jet in Zero, and then return to normal form to stab it. So, it clearly can't be that slow a process. Plus, when we see it happen, it appears to be a couple of seconds at the most.

While they may bleed and take damage to their organs, their true being resides in a Spiritual Core they obtain upon first materializing. Their Material Body envelopes it, and damage must be inflicted to it in order for them to be defeated. It gradually diminishes under magical energy expenditure and while sustaining bodily damage, and their expenditure will escalate under such conditions. If it is damaged through powerful magical energy, curses, or Noble Phantasms, it will be destroyed, meaning that the Servant can no longer stay materialized. The heart and head are directly connected to it, so they are a Servant's greatest weaknesses. Sustaining damage will significantly weaken it, with some Servants having it instantly destroyed and some with skills like Battle Continuation being able to at least temporarily sustain themselves.

Fate/complete material III: World material - Record of Heavens Feel - Servant System: How to Defeat A Servant, p.018

Basically, you can't injure the Spiritual Core without attacking the Material Body. By being unable to injure the Spiritual Core, you can't do damage to a Servant.

TL:DR: I'm right, you're wrong, Nasu makes the rules, follow them.

I was sort of under the assumption that it was that they were actually more vulnerable to damage by other servants in spirit form, as in a materialized servant can injure a spirit form servant but a spirit form servant can't touch a materialized one.

And by assumption I mean I read exactly that at some point, I just have no memory of where, probably somewhere on BL.

Waiting sucks, but I have to wait on Haruna for Minato and I have no Idea what to do with Mako, maybe I should pull out one of my OCs...

Sorry it is taking me so long, I have college work due.

I will post something tonight though.

Edit:

Posted, I will be able to post more frequently for the next few days at least.

Mike, if you want to you can put either or both of them in Minato's district. (Shamelessly trying to build faction lol.)

Haha, that would be comedy gold. Mordred is already holding him at a sword point for stalking. Not that she will kill him, but a bodyguard is wary of intruders, of course.

I'm just kinda sitting around with at least one of my 2 characters, if you'd like to interact we can work something out.

Well, the BMW girl meeting Kiyoshi would be interesting, since it surely won't take her long to work out who his father is (given that he somewhat copies Shirou's fighting style). Plus, he has a shadow familiar from Sakura and even has a few gems to use for emergencies (due to his Tohsaka heritage).

Well, Rider meeting Zouken with Law around is a bad idea (and it's a bad idea for Zouken in general). In fact, given Mordred's Grail War fixation and Rider's desire to not die, Rider running into Law at all is probably not a great plan right now....

Mike, if you want to you can put either or both of them in Minato's district. (Shamelessly trying to build faction lol.)

Well, it's possible for Kiyoshi to go there, at least. He would make for a possibly-interesting social link.

Well, Rider with Sakura around could give Mordred a decent fight and quite possibly win (particularly since Law is not a magus), but without Sakura she would probably lose, yeah. Regardless, though, she has no desire to fight.

Erm, Clarent is not Excalibur....

And, honestly, I think you're underestimating Rider. Still, it's largely irrelevant because I don't want to fight Mordred, and if I ever did need to then the "no killing without permission" thing comes into effect....

Clarent is literally Excalibur's slightly weaker version. Given how ridiculously overkill Excalibur was on Rider, I'd say it gets the job done.

Clarent is A+, so actually little weaker than Excalibur, and still stronger than Bellephoron even if the same Rank (can target more people for example)

She has also Mana B, so she is not immediately petrified by Cybele.

Also notice Rider BARELY penetrated Alter's beamu with the support of Rho Aias. Clarent is little weaker.

Excalibur isn't as much "overkill" as you're making out. And, remember, Rider has Shirou to assist her. Who, as you might recall, was able to use Rho Aius to allow her to defeat Dark Saber in HF.

So, yeah, she can totally win that battle. Not that it matters because, again, no killing without permission, and I'm not intending to let Rider get killed.

Shirou can't use that good a Rho Aias without the GARM, and even with that, the amount of Excalibeam it had to go through reduced it to like 1/10ths of it's strength (which wouldn't even kill Medea).

And yes, Excalibur was ridiculously overkill. That's why the game takes like 3 minutes to explain how absolutely and completely chunkaroonied Rider got and how little there's left of her.

Shirou with 30 years training should be able to reach that level, or something close. At very least it would be enough to allow Rider to defeat it.

Minus the part where becoming EMIYA is the only way he can ever reach that level is something Nasu made clear. The reason EMIYA is so sick at Projection isn't his age, or training, or anything else. It's because he's a CG.

This. Basically Law is an excellent master due to being a Sin-Eater. It is both easier for Mordred to manifest around him and Plasm is a very effective power source for her. She could easily take on Rider with Law supporting her, and Sakura is not immune to bullets. She also can't come back from the dead.

Kuro you're wrong, mate. Becoming a Counter Guardian, and therefore forming a contract with Alaya, provides you with the power necessary to put you on the scale of a powerful force that can protect humanity by "cleaning" these who supposedly threaten it. I'm in the same boat as Brahmastra - I don't feel like scrolling through the archive of Fate/Stay Night or finding the right video/page of the Complete Materials, so, you do it. You have a BL account, right? Go ask it in the Questions thread and see the moon-runers prove us to be correct.

3. Crimson Moon is WAY too overpowered for the setting (even though you are underselling him by a mile). This is the guy who casually throws mirror images of the moon and has a fucking Knight Arm.

4. Altrouge and Arcuied aren't his "daughters" and no, they don't know of anime and the like. They're ineffective clones of him.

5. Crimson Moon doesn't even understand Earth logic, morality and so on.

6. Are you like, actually fucking kidding? This is a lantz-tier sheet with Wiki copypastes and a horrific defacing of a character we know jack squat about's personality.

Magic Ability: None

lol no



Altrouge and Arcueid Brunestud, who have both inherited the Brunestud name, are considered to be those closest to reaching the point of being suitable vessels. Arcueid, created naturally by the True Ancestors, a method which Brunestud had given up on at the time, is considered a perfect body especially close in purity as she can summon the Millennium Castle through her Marble Phantasm ability.

Likes: His daughters

You were right with the Wiki copy-paste - Altrouge and Arcuied are not his daughters. They are vampires who are close to being vessels, and tangentially related to him. He has no concept of familial love in the first place.

He is now reborn into a body that is accepted by both Gaia and Alaya; However, after learning that his understanding of humans was far out of date, he made the mistake of asking his "daughters" to help him. Their response was to introduce him to anime, manga, and video games. Five years later he found himself in the nexus, with his personality irrevocably altered by the experience.
Likes: Chuunibyou, New Anime, New Manga Chapters, Games, The Moon, Zelretch, Cute things, Friends.
Dislikes:Manga delays and filler, things that hurt his friends.

I'm sorry Kuro. I really tried to be civil. But this is absolute bullshit.

Crimson Moon is a being who is completely, 100% alien to us. As a matter of fact, he is an Alien. He can't understand the concept of "liking" such things because he is a being beyond them. The problem that we have with Crimson Moon is we don't know much about him, but what we do know is that this simply does not work. There is absolutely no way that Alaya would accept him, there's no way that he would like such human things, AND, first and foremost:

He has no friends.

N O F R I E N D S

The only things that could possibly have humor derived from them are the add-ons you tacked onto the very end, after copying everything from the wiki. And, quite simply, they aren't funny at all.

It gave him power to save those people.  Even though it's sort of ambiguous, because of the contract, EMIYA gets abilities that Emiya Shirou doesn't.  Or rather power that he doesn't.

Like with Rin in UBW he can use his Reality Marble because she helps fuel it; however on his own it's implied that he couldn't use it because he doesn't have the juice to.  Post HF Shirou is getting backup from Sakura, again, someone else who can give him the juice to power UBW. 

However the Faustian pact gave Archer bonuses that Emiya Shirou would never reach with pure, simple power.

In other words, a wild Lancer appeared.

I would like to note that I looked up the relevant information near the start of this argument, which is why I stopped participating in this.

I do not however appreciate being accused of spouting fanon in this case, all I have done is ask a question and openly state that I did not find things as stated to make sense. That is not spouting Fanon, I was just curious.

It is also making me very uncomfortable, so if you want to continue please leave me out of it.

A majority once thought that the universe was created in 6 days 6000 years ago. Hell, most of the world probably still does believe in something similar. So, no, majority or minority isn't important, all that matters is evidence.

And that evidence can be found on Youtube, LParchive, the Complete Materials, and so on. So, yes. We are indeed correct. Go and look at it yourself if you don't believe us.

Youtube, LP archive, Complete Materials etc. are big things. I don't have time to go looking through the entirety of them in order to prove your point. Either actually provide the evidence or accept that I am entitled to my opinion.

These will suffice for now. Yes, Mike, you are titled to your own opinion, however incorrect it may or may not be.

Yeah, sorry, but I don't have time to read through the entirety of FSN right now. Plus, I read it before and I don't recall what you're saying being there.

So, no, that doesn't suffice. If you want to convince me, point me at something that isn't going to take several days of reading to find the answer....

Weren't you the one preaching about facts being facts even if you can't prove them? How very hypocritical of you. Then again, that's my fault for expecting something from someone who believes robbery barely constitutes as a crime.

Facts are true independent of proof, but without proof there is no reason for anyone to believe them to be facts. Just stating "this is a fact" does not entitle you to be believed until proven wrong.

One who doesn't want to spend several days of time he could be using to do something more productive proving someone else's point for them....

And, you do realise, right, that when writing an academic paper, any claim you make has to be sourced, by referring to the paper in question? True, you don't have to point to the specific location, but papers are short and, besides, there is a safeguard there in that someone will check it (usually referees) even if every individual person does not.

In an argument, you have to provide your sources in a manner which allows the other person to check them easily and confirm if they do or do not say what you claim. Linking me to the LP is no good because it is not falsifiable. I can read through the entire LP and say it's not there, and you can just say "well, you must have missed it". If you're not willing to provide a falsifiable source that I can look at quickly and say "yes, OK, you're right" or "no, sorry, I disagree", then I am under no obligation whatsoever to go out of my way to disprove my own point without any way to disprove yours.

That's proof that he needed something from Alaya to do that particular thing. It doesn't mean he got anything more than a prana supply from Alaya. Hell, it could mean that Alaya just went "hocus pocus" and magically resolved the whole situation. The fact is that, from that statement, we don't know exactly what, if any, difference there is between Archer and peak Shirou. I accept that being a CG gives him a much higher prana supply (and, seemingly, capacity), but I'm not sure if it gave him anything much else (although higher stats is possible, and my Shirou certainly isn't up to Archer's level stat-wise).

...Mike, you did read what Elf said, didn't you? The whole reason he made the contract in the first place was to gain more power so he could try and fulfill his desire to become a Hero of Justice, and to pull that off more effectively. Regardless of whether the power came from the miracle he was granted, from the CG contract, or both, the point is, he gained a power boost. A power boost implies that he's stronger than he was originally without it. Thereby, Archer/EMIYA is more powerful than peak Shirou.

Wasn't the reason he made the contract to save a few hundred people who were otherwise going to die? I.e., to resolve that one particular event?

Yes, he definitely did gain an increased prana supply, and it seems likely that Archer as a servant has better stats than peak Shirou (although, then, if his stats include constant use of reinforcement in a similar way to how Saber's stats include her using Prana Burst constantly, it's not necessarily impossible Shirou could reach that level).

It is a scene of some natural disaster, not the result of human conflict.

"Let me make a contract. I shall give you my life after my death. I would like the compensation now."

He weaves the words of contract.
After that, he changed as though possessed by something and saved people who could not normally be saved.
…Oh, so this must be how he became a "heroic spirit".

…Seeing it this way, it's nothing much.
I bet the people he saved were not even in the hundreds.
He cannot even be called a "hero" with such a number, nor would he be promoted to a "heroic spirit".
But the number isn't important.
The qualification of a hero, one who surpasses humans, is to be able to save those that are fated to die.

It is an alteration of fate.
It does not matter if he does not have power as a hero, as long as he averted a disaster that could not be changed, however small in scope.
No.
The world would obtain a "heroic spirit" in compensation for the miracle.

Strongest Shirou doesn't mean "no other Shirou can reach that level", it means "Shirou cannot ever exceed that level".  And, I never said it was likely....

Anyway, what Brah posted makes it clear he did gain power to save those people, although whether that power was only limited to extra prana is not clear.

Mike. He had to make a faustian pact to even get to that power in the first place. Unless there's some other power boosting contract he can somehow take (which there is none, to my knowledge,) then it is impossible for Shirou to reach EMIYA's level even at his peak. In other words, even at his strongest, Shirou will always be weaker than EMIYA. EMIYA is as powerful as Shirou can get, and also stronger than Shirou will ever be naturally.

Actually, I think Rider is pretty sneaky (not to mention that she can turn into spirit form to gain access). I don't think a normal person would see her if she didn't want to be seen, certainly.

Plus, you seem to have a false idea of the reason I'm asking. I am not expecting her to get away with it, but what I'm not sure about is the exact method by which she would fail. I doubt it is actually as simple as "she'll be found and attacked", she was certainly sneaky enough to get into Shirou's room and have sex with him (or steal prana, at least) without being detected when Saber was in the next room, and I imagine that Forest has plenty of defences that might prevent her even getting that far (but, equally, Rider has high MR, so magical damage will likely not affect her much if at-all).

The same way Rin does.

Except that Rin gives Shirou prana by forming a contract with him, which only requires her to have sex once. Sakura is clearly shown to need to have sex with Shirou on a regular basis in order to dump prana into him.

So, no, it's not done the same way as Rin. Don't ask me why that is, or how it works, but Sakura definitely does not do the same thing Rin did.

Sakura should be able to form a contract since it's basics of basics for a magus. But without contract, only sperm carries prana.

Either it's because Rin is superior magi and Sakura a shit one in terms of actual ability, or they simply have sex because they are a couple.

But, it's pretty clear from the HF True ending that that is not what she is doing, because contracts only need to be formed once, and it's made clear that they have to have regular sex so Sakura can dump prana into Shirou.

Quote

Well, I assume it is because Rin is a far better-trained magus, yes, but that doesn't change the basic fact that a contract lasts until you break it. She cannot be forming a contract because she has to keep doing it.

And, no, it's not just "they're a couple", it's made abundantly clear in the HF True ending that Sakura actually needs to have regular sex with Shirou in order to release her excess prana (and ensure he has enough of it).

Except that Rin gives Shirou prana by forming a contract with him, which only requires her to have sex once. Sakura is clearly shown to need to have sex with Shirou on a regular basis in order to dump prana into him.

Hey Mike, I know it sounds impossible, but do you know what perfectly functioning couples participate in? Sex. You know what you sex gives you besides prana? It feels good.


So, no, it's not done the same way as Rin. Don't ask me why that is, or how it works, but Sakura definitely does not do the same thing Rin did.


"
Sakura's body still has after-effects from Angra Manyu.
Even with the contract broken, she's still a Holy Grail.
She was connected to Angra Manyu, so she's still connected with the other side.
Vast amounts of magical energy are collecting in Sakura's body, and she has to periodically let it out.

It's because of that magical energy that she can keep Rider, even after the Great Holy Grail's destruction.
But she still can't use it all, so she must be giving the surplus to Shirou.
Shirou's current body has a very weak Magic Circuit, so he would return to how he was before without her help."

There's literally nothing that says they aren't doing what Rin did, and even less that says that he needs poon frequently.

Nope, Brah, Kat. I distinctly remember that it is said that she needs to have sex to give Shirou prana. It is also stated that they're "doing it too much", which implies that is definitely not the only reason they have sex, but it is a requirement nevertheless.

I'm at work now, so I can't check, but when I get home I'll look through the HF True ending to find the part that supports my point. Your quote does not prove me wrong, it simply isn't proof that I'm right.

We can take it to debate thread, but the general consensus is that employee in return for pay should devote his attention during work hours what your employer expects you to do since the contract is binding for both sides.

I'm now self-employed (accepting commissions from clients), but during one of internships if I just went on browsing internet instead of helping students under my care nobody would blink an eye about me getting fired because I obligated myself to do this.

It depends on the nature of your job. Personally, I simply cannot focus on doing something for 8 hours straight, unless it is extremely interesting. All that ends up happening is that I get nothing done. But, at the same time, my job doesn't require me to do so. For one thing, I often have to wait for programs to compile, run etc., and I also don't really have any fixed time when I need to work, so my work is also flexible. It's not a lack of effort, it's simply that I work in a different way. I have at times done work at home when there was something I needed to run.

Ultimately, I do not have the same view of work as you do. I will try to make sure I get everything I need to get done done, but I am not going to rigidly adhere to an 9-to-5 schedule. You do not have to be self-employed to work flexibly.

Using Nasuverse ranking systems for a non-Nasuverse character is kind of silly. Lyco Aptera is indeed a dragon - and a spawn of Typhon and Echidna. He's just not at the same level of power as his siblings, besides perhaps Chimera and Orthrus: most of which were slain and/or defeated by Herakles or other heroes.

This is intentional, because he is not meant to be the "most powerful dragon ever". He is also still in the works as far as powers and abilities go.

Warning in advance to anyone interacting with my characters; I will be leaving for Thailand early Tuesday morning and will most likely not be able to post for that entire day. Since I'm both working and adhering to a workout plan while down there, I must apologize in advance that I will not be having nearly as much free time to post in (and unlike certain members of the forum, I will be, as the head of a restaurant, unable to post in my working hours).

I'll be down there for just short of 6 weeks, so in that period, while still being able to post and communicate with people on and off the forum, I have a lot less time on my hands. I will try and post at least once a day, of course.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kiyoshi criticism:

1. Shirou does not "excel" at reinforcement. He's actually pretty awful at it.

2. Sakura got her genetic code rewritten by Zouken, so her "natural" hereditary eye color would be purple.

3. Prana constructs don't develop free will.

4. "Likes: Riding Pegasus with Aunt Rider", you do know the G-force of that thing will murder him, right?

5. "Flow and Transfer" is not a hereditary Magical Attribute, it's a school of magecraft.

1. Shirou does not "excel" at reinforcement. He's actually pretty awful at it.

No, he's not. It's the one thing he can actually do well.

True, when he starts off he's pretty crap, because he has no training, but he has the potential to be good at it (as shown by Archer).

2. Sakura got her genetic code rewritten by Zouken, so her "natural" hereditary eye color would be purple.

Nope, genetics does not work that way. Zouken re-wrote Sakura magically, but you can't make someone a genetic Matou. Biology just does not work like that. Plus, even if it did, it wouldn't affect her eggs in the same way, since they are produced before she is even born.

Quote
3. Prana constructs don't develop free will.

Not "free will", it's more like an animal. Sakura's familiars have the ability to act independently to a large extent, I'm working on that basis.

Quote
4. "Likes: Riding Pegasus with Aunt Rider", you do know the G-force of that thing will murder him, right?

Not if she flies more carefully.

Quote
5. "Flow and Transfer" is not a hereditary Magical Attribute, it's a school of magecraft.

Erm, what I meant what the Tohsaka style of magecraft. Which is definitely hereditary.

4. "Likes: Riding Pegasus with Aunt Rider", you do know the G-force of that thing will murder him, right?

Rider can probably go slow so she doesn't kill the kid.

The winds from it's wing buffets even while it's chill can destroy a small building and tear a normal human to shreds.

She carries Rin and Sakura on it whilst they're unconscious, so she is clearly capable of doing so without killing them.

Whilst Shirou is not initially very good at reinforcement, that is because of a lack of training. When he is able to learn to do things better, he becomes far more capable. Every other form of magic, Shirou sucks at, even as Archer, but reinforcement he has the potential to do well.

Uh, couple of things I thought to say about Kiyoshi's sheet. You... contradict yourself a few times there, you know?

First of all, Sakura's original eye color was blue/aquamarine, like Rin's. Not Green.

Second, you call Kiyoshi an "average magus", but he clearly is not. Not only does he have two elemental affinities, one of which is very rare, you describe him as having the potential to excel at Reinforcement, and he can already self-reinforce at his age. I'm not sure you realize how much of a big deal self-reinforcement actually is, but it's the peak of basic magecraft. Rin can do it because she is a goddamn genius!

Also, allow me to clear one further thing up. Shirou does not "excel at Reinforcement". The only thing he is good at is Projection, and that is because of UBW and his circuits being tailored specifically for it. He is also good at Alteration and Reinforcement on weapons because of his affinity.

Sure, he might be able to do Reinforcement somewhat well, but he by no means EXCELS at it compared to someone like Rin. Or he's not supposed to, anyways. EMIYA is a different case. It's possible Shirou is able to self-reinforce efficiently and quite well if he does something like think of himself as a sword or do it subconsciously (this in particular actually seems to happen in FSN a few times, but it's again in relation to the first point, or so I speculate).

But he does not excel at Reinforcement in normal terms.

Sakura's genetic code was altered by Zolken.

It is a possible thing, in fact the human genome is constantly changed by retroviruses. New squences are added all the time, infact a rather large chunk of the human genome are endogonus retroviruses.

With magecraft it is not at all implausible that the genetic code that would be passed was changed to the extent that it did. In fact it would be highly likely that Zolken do so in order to make her children more accepting of matou magecraft.

Aquamarine is blue/green. I always thought Rin's eyes looked more green than blue, personally. Anyway, I've changed it to "aquamarine" now.

He's average in general. He lacks much in the way of circuits, he's just very good at reinforcement.

Any magus can self-reinforce. Doing it safely is the difficult bit. It's not a matter of number of circuits or similar, it's just a matter of training.

And, I think most magi are capable of self-reinforcement to a reasonable extent at least. I don't think Rin is quite that exceptional.

During his life time, the sorceries learned by Emiya are unremarkable. Before becoming a Heroic Spirit, even “reinforcement” was quite difficult. However, the “projection” sorcery he wields is quite special, as it is able to duplicate weapons, including all the components, to near perfection. In addition, during duplication, he can even read the wielder’s skills, which allows him to gain all kinds of Noble Phantasms and combat skills.
During his life time, Emiya used the preliminary step of projection – “structural analysis”, to find the location of an item’s fault and proceed with repair.

I worded that poorly. I meant that even Reinforcement was difficult for him while he was alive. It was not something he excelled in.

I thought shirou's reinforcing worked by basically making a few swords pop up in his body and he made those strong as he could. That's why rider kicking him in the gut (or was it being kicked down a building) caused him basically to accidentally impale himself. His reinforcement is kind of a weird extension of his projection if you look at it that way as he's just projection some strong swords under his skin.

No, Rin is an exceptional magus because of her circuit count. That has nothing to do with the ability to learn how to self-reinforce. You do not need a massive amount of circuits to do that.

I'm not saying Rin is stupid or anything like that, but if she can learn to do it by the age of 17, other magi can learn to do it as well.

But, Shirou does possess the ability to self-reinforce. He demonstrates it multiple times in the VN (doing things like running faster, for example). So, it obviously can't be as difficult as you're making out.

40 Circuits isn't even that special. Self-reinforcement has nothing to do with Circuit count, yes, because it's reliant on the user being an unparalleled genius.

"anyone can self-reinforce, even if it kills them" is a stupid and contradicting statement, because being able to self-reinforce implies that you can actually successfully do it.

Rin's circuit count and quality is absolutely special. Tokiomi makes that abundantly clear when he's talking about her and Sakura. Rin is definitely a clever person, but it is quite simply not true that she is far more competent than an average magus of a similar experience level would be. If Rin can self-reinforce safely at her age, then other magi also can.

1) Eggs DO have a normal genetic code, actually they only have half a genetic code. It is quite normal outside of that really. So please, stop talking like you understand things.

2) Changing of genetic code can be done, it is difficult but can be done. The main difficulty is targeting the exact location you want to insert 3 new sets of base pairs. It is a high risk thing to do in large numbers because an change to an unwanted area can turn of or turn on the transcription of genes. It is not something that can be safely done by modern medicine in large numbers, but designer babies is a worry for a reason, we are approaching that point.

3) Zolken is a magus, a rather good one at that. Magecraft is capable of doing things that science is theoretically capable of doing but most of the time more safely and with more ease. Also it is very, very likely that he altered everything with magecraft, mainly considering her original point of her existence was to make an heir and then become Zolken's new host, why the fuck would he want to stunt her kid's magecraft by forcing an element change, better to have it passed on genetically.

Lacking much in the way of circuits does not discount effective ability due to skill. And Circuit Count, while important for being an "above average magus", is not all, you realize, if a big part of it. Kiyoshi's skill and talents already mark him as quite amazing.

Also, again, the matter of his two elements.

I never said most magi weren't capable of self-reinforcement, but it's still a very dangerous skill, also also one that represents the pinnacle of basic magecraft. The fact that Rin can self-reinforce like she does is remarkable. If Kiyoshi can do it at the age of 11, I'm sorry, but he is a genius at it. You need to be extremely skilled to self-reinforce properly.

Do you mean magus in the "follows magus mindset" sense or in the purely "talent and ability at magecraft" sense? Because he absolutely is not average if you take into account the former, what he can currently do nonwithstanding.

And why would you even say he is capable of self-reinforcement if he can't do it properly? Being capable at something implies not doing it wrong, which in this case implies not hurting yourself doing it.


All I was taking exception to was you calling him "an average magus" based on what he can do, which devolved into this argument of definitions and FSN facts. If I sound adversarial I apologize, just trying to make things clear and be sure that everyone has the correct idea about things.

Quote from: Day 9 Save Rin / Sisters (I)
"Why do you ask that now?
Matou Sakura's body was tampered with many years ago. The changes were so extensive that even her hair and eye colors no longer reflect her heritage. This did not start recently."

"Well, it seems it was never intended to kill her as it's doing now.

Considering Zolken wanted her as a future vessel and to produce a suitable heir for the Matou to fight in the next war it is incredibly likely that the alterations to her body where genetic and not simply cosmetic, in order to insure the whole reason she was adopted and produce a heir of great potential.

Also, still don't get why her son can use her Element, Element's are generally unique to the person, and while families can be more likely to have specific one like the Aozaki's know for having wind element special elements, like being an average one or unique traits such as multiple elements are not passed on.

And if you say it is a crest then do know that implies Sakura converted her own circuits into a crest and passed them on, a very dangerous process even for blood related children.

Well, he doesn't have a magus mindset at all. In terms of his talent and ability, he is generally not good, he is just good at certain aspects.

And what I've been trying to say is, by Nasuverse standards, even if he has an average circuit count, he is already remarkable for his skill at reinforcement and some of his natural ability as a user of magecraft. Namely, his two elements.

Well, he can self-reinforce, there's just a high chance of him hurting himself in the process, especially if he does it too much. Basically, he's learning.

The fact he can do it at all and not hurt himself even only some times is already supposed to incredible.

You mentioned he has some capability with projection I understand his dad had the tailor made circuits for that so I can let that slide (but on the other hand I believe Nasuverse magical capabilities are kind of randomized as I don't exactly see Rin and Sakura being to similar to Tokiomi beyond the direct crest inherited stuff) so he may have some better affinity that most magi I do have to wonder one thing.
Shirou's projection is only useful because he has the data perfectly stored in his soul so he can make detailed copies. Other people even if they are good at the reproduction process of projection don't exactly have the blueprints detailed enough to make anything of quality. Everything projected would honestly be up to the quality of what Shirou makes in his shed. Interesting as a magical concept with how long they last but all functionally useless in their original task beyond superficial appearance. So Mike what's the point of the projection skill?
Projection is actually a common skill for mages so the basic kind can go without saying I believe but the specialness of Shirou's type is exclusive to his soul and circuits.

Quote from: Day 9 Save Rin / Sisters (I)
"Why do you ask that now?
Matou Sakura's body was tampered with many years ago. The changes were so extensive that even her hair and eye colors no longer reflect her heritage. This did not start recently."

"Well, it seems it was never intended to kill her as it's doing now.
It seems Matou Zouken did not intend to use Matou Sakura in this war. She is not adjusted to fighting. I would assume she was treated that way because unexpected conditions were met."

Considering Zolken wanted her as a future vessel and to produce a suitable heir for the Matou to fight in the next war it is incredibly likely that the alterations to her body where genetic and not simply cosmetic, in order to insure the whole reason she was adopted and produce a heir of great potential.

It's pretty clear he did alter her somehow, but I don't think he necessarily needed her to be a Matou genetically to use her for breeding, and I don't see how he could alter her genetics in that manner. You also can't "gradually" change someone's genes like that, the fact that it's a gradual change implies some weird Nasu biology.

Your logic is that he used his worms to secrete a virus (which is something that was not even known about when he was making the things) in order to alter her genes (which were also not known about) in a manner that we cannot even do now that did a perfect job of turning her into a Matou (which isn't even a defined concept) without any significant side-effects by sheer chance.

I find it more likely that he did something magical to her that would affect her body, but not her genetic make-up.

To try and clean up the matter in general.

Zouken only stated he made her body more suitable for the Matou magecraft more or less. In the process, he had to alter her to the point it drastically changed her appearance, and forcefully gave her the Matou element and sorcery trait. Presumably he had to alter her soul and/or circuits to manage this, which would have consequences on her physical characteristics (especially considering the "body reflects the soul" concept). The crux of the matter here is that it obviously had an effect on her mundane characteristics and not just the supernatural ones, following the previous logic. This does not necessarily mean her genetics were entirely altered, at least not directly.

Well, my conclusion is: maybe she doesn't have "Matou genetics" in the strict sense of the word, and her children would inherit her original "Tohsaka genetics", but Sakura herself might as well be a Matou and not a Tohsaka in any way.

(Although if Zouken's process altered Sakura's characteristics as a magus, I personally find it unlikely that she'd pass on her original ones as opposed to what they were changed to, even if the kids are mostly Tohsaka genetically speaking. I dunno, these are just my thoughts.)

Sure, I don't doubt that she is a Matou in any way that matters. What bothers me is her children.

As for Kiyoshi's strength, ultimately I want him to be capable of standing up to weaker enemies (ones that a normal magus could kill with ease, but a normal human would die to almost instantly). If he can't do that, then he is largely useless as a character, because Rider has to watch him all the time and just keep him away from everything, lest he get killed before she can even get to him.

For example, he could probably defeat a normal vampire mook, but he wouldn't stand a chance against someone like Forest.

>Ability to manipulate Ether Lumps.

In canon, Ether Lumps are useless, made by novices who fail to materialize the other elements. The only implied thing is that they are connected to the 1st true magic in some way.

Saying he can manipulate something defined as "Nothingness" is a little hard to swallow.

For example, he could probably defeat a normal vampire mook, but he wouldn't stand a chance against someone like Forest.

How can he? Most vampires have above human capability along with other traits. If you want to give him someone he can beat say he can beat just about any normal human as most, he can still be picked up and thrown into a wall and go splat by something powerful enough.

Because he has magical swords, that's why. And, I don't think the average vampire mooks are particularly powerful, a decent magus can kill whole groups of them without too much difficulty.

There is zero reason for him to ever fight a normal human. He needs to be able to at least avoid dying instantly to an average mook, otherwise Rider is massively handicapped in terms of having to watch over him.

This probably depends on the vampire's origin.  Say a vampire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?  Not too terribly bad.

One of Deacon Frost's flunkies- not too much there either.  However their regeneration and speed are something to behold.

Now a vampire like Ash and Forest, even without their age, is still someone that would eat Kiyoshi for lunch.  He's just an eleven year old boy with no mental defenses.  He'd get hypnotized then bit.

Also character approvals have been updated.

Yeah, that makes sense. Obviously, being fast is a potential issue for him, but he's reasonably agile, and his swords give him an advantage.

The problem is that Rider should really go out looking close to when the time skip would happen, since she would do it later in the night when Kiyoshi is asleep. Which is likely to be quite a while.

I'm also confused as hell about the timing here. I wasn't expecting Kiyoshi and Rider to be arriving late night (because Kioyshi would be in bed), so I don't think it's meant to be as late for them. People just seem to be really rushing through.

It is less rushing through and more a lot of the characters do not have reasons to interact anymore at the moment. Like Forest had a shit day so she going to sleep, Amelia is making graves/memorials, Henry has to go to his clinic, Shiro is keeping watch, Jubei is cleaning up his shop, Fate is going to his company to do things probably, two different sets of smut have occurred on the first night, etc.

Most of the plots for the night have expired, there was a massive fight in which almost a city block was leveled and a lot of interactions occurred. It was what should be expected of the first night, it should be the establishing time with the least amount of interaction just because it is only night and characters are just meeting.

Honestly, "Day 1" is pretty much going to be glossed over.  Henry's at the clinic, Hakuno and Tom are settling in at the compound, Dan's going to go pass out soon . . .

Night 1 will end in a few post, sort of speed through day 1 and then be on Night 2.

Honestly, what I'd recommend as both another player and GM, to state that Rider and Kiyoshi got there at the beginning of Night 2.  She hasn't interacted with anyone yet so it would be perfect for her to run into Wynn.

Honestly, "Day 1" is pretty much going to be glossed over.  Henry's at the clinic, Hakuno and Tom are settling in at the compound, Dan's going to go pass out soon . . .

Night 1 will end in a few post, sort of speed through day 1 and then be on Night 2.

Ah, OK.

Actually, I have posted already, and I interacted with Mil and Kuro.

Still, I can assume it's night 2 easily-enough, and once Kiyoshi finds somewhere to sleep, Rider can run into Wynn (although how best to do that is not 100% clear yet).

Unintentional double post! Applied some heavy edits to my last post, to the parts that haven't really been responded to yet anyway, to improve the overall quality. After one particular part of my post was mentioned, I looked back and realized that... well, the thing was kinda a huge mess. So I generally expanded and improved the whole thing. Hopefully it should be miles better now. ...Hopefully.

Also, I'll be waiting for Elf and Knick to post first before I continue with Mille and Rin. 'Tis only fair I think.

2. Revelation doesn't have a rank, it's simply listed as N/A like Karna's Uncrowned Arms Mastership.

3. Saint doesn't have a rank either.

4. Jeanne probably never even learned what a vampire is, why should she hate them?

Sure, but King Arthur was very definitely not English, that doesn't stop people referring to him as such....

The fact is that her name is not "Jeanne d'Arc". Her name was "Jeanne", the "d'Arc" bit is simply French for "of Arc", which is a description and not a name. So, using the English version of that part at least makes perfect sense.

King Arthur is referred in general as King of Britain. Whoever calls him a King of England is ignorant and uneducated.
After all, whole Arthurian medieval cycle is referred as Matter of Britain (along with Matter of France and Rome it made up majority of chivalric literature).

I'm kind-of assuming our group is in the earlier part of night 2 already, because Kiyoshi and Rider wouldn't arrive late in the night (Kioyshi is only 11), and because I want to send Rider to meet up with Wynn as soon as Kiyoshi goes to bed (which now has to be on night 2).

Nope, Minato is still on night 1. I do not see how what time it was in your world when you left would have anything to do with the time in the nexus when you arrive. Time is not synchronized between worlds is it? I was under the assumption that it was possible to vanish from your world at midday and find yourself in the nexus at midnight seconds later.

Time is not synchronized between worlds is it? I was under the assumption that it was possible to vanish from your world at midday and find yourself in the nexus at midnight seconds later.

The problem is that, by the time we're finished with night 1, everyone else will be on night 2 already (because Kiyoshi has to sleep some time). And, I want to be able to interact with people who are on night 2 without going through an entire day of stuff first (since Kioyshi is obviously not going to become nocturnal).

When Rider and Kiyoshi find somewhere to stay, Rider will then have to go looking for prana (away from Minato, obviously). Since I want her to bump into Wynn, that means being on the same time as everyone else, not a day behind.

Yeah skipping to Night 2 already is a bit of stretch.

Yeah, which is why I wasn't too pleased with the sudden time-skip. You didn't wait for other people to actually be in a position to skip, and there's stuff I need to do at night rather than in the day, so I don't want to skip past the night as would be implied by the current position. Elf suggested just starting on night 2, which works for me fine, but it's obviously a problem if I'm switching between two groups that are out of sync with each other.

Well we could just say that it's almost morning to narrow the gap, and if I can actually get a pace going my posts will start coming much faster.

My plan was for Minato to offer rooms to everyone during inevitable conversation time, get his pay from The Absurdly powerful old man with an enormous mustache, then probably go to bed.

Then once the day comes I focus on Mako, because Minato doesn't do much during the day.

That doesn't really solve the problem. Rider can't go out looking for prana until Kiyoshi is asleep, and since everyone else is now on day 2 we'll have a significant mismatch there. "Closing the gap" isn't any good because the gap is still there, and by the time we've got to the second night everyone will have skipped again.

Well, yeah, that was how I expected things to go, but I'm not sure any more. If I go back with you it seems like I'll be permanently out of sync with everyone else and won't be able to go after Wynn due to people repeatedly time-skipping before I get a chance.

Quote
Then once the day comes I focus on Mako, because Minato doesn't do much during the day.

Well, Kiyoshi will mostly be active during the day. Rider, however, is active permanently (unless she wants to sleep). Which is another issue with what you're suggesting. Kiyoshi has to sleep, but Rider then has a large gap of time to fill, where I intended for her to go towards Wynn.

In terms of Rider's prana need, no, she doesn't. But, on an OOC level, I'd like to go after Wynn for sexual stuff. I don't mind waiting until night 2 to do that, but I'm worried that, by the time I get to the point in night 2 where I can do it, you guys will have skipped ahead again, because Kiyoshi and Rider aren't going to just do nothing for the whole day.

And, honestly, the time for those characters isn't well-defined. They've not interacted with anyone else, so they easily could be on night 2. Plus, I chose to interact with them before I realised everyone was going to skip forward quite so quickly.

The issue I have is not waiting until night 2, it's that I strongly suspect you guys will skip again before I get to the point that I can actually act, and I think that in general the group I'm with is going to get behind.

I could have gone into more detail over what sort of things Ares/[Mars] and his followers have done, but went with summaries instead.

something something man eading AEGIS operations turning criminals and ravenous supernaturals into stone and shattering them to bits and exaggerations thereof.

AEGIS is a security firm, so they've had heavy jobs on a multitude of areas on that front so far, mostly those involving supernatural forces or out of fear of them. They're not very widespread (yet), but they're a publically known thing and relatively speaking, a significant player on that front.

As the dust settled, Irisviel finally was able to discern her new Servant's form. She was a woman, wearing gleaming plate armor, her long braided hair falling to her knees.
"What is going on? Why are you here?"
"..."
"What do you mean, did you not summon me, Master? Am I not your Servant?"

"No, you are most definetly my servant. That much is certain. See, I have the command seals to prove it." Irisviel said, raising her hand to show them off. "However, I most definetly did not initiate the summoning. You just kind of appeared. There is no dought that you are my master, I'm definetly getting prana from you, and as you say, those are command seals. While what you said about not summoning me is worrisome, there's nothing we can do about that now, so let's start with getting out of this dirty room."

Irisviel smiled, and said, "Before that, why don't we introduce ourselves to each other?
My name is Irisviel von Einzbern, what's yours?" Irisviel extended her hand.

"My name is Jeanne d'Arc, it's a pleasure to meet you Irisviel." Jeanne responded, taking Irisviel's hand and shaking it.

Yes, he's experiencing pain right now and bleeding all over his shirt (More so if he chooses to remove the knife from his wound. He left the knife there for a reason.), but I don't think he'll have any problems in breathing because he didn't hit the lungs.

Also, I think it's funnier that way.

Nah, it's more like he'll still have trouble breathing because he can't circulate oxygen properly with a knife in his heart. And also CO2 build up. He'd still start having trouble breathing even without direct damage to his lungs.

I know. But I'm not too concerned of it right now because it's not combat. As I said, it's funnier that way, like South Park or Cyanide and Happiness.

And it won't be long before he feels it and starts taking out a Healing Elixir.

Hmm... Honestly, I think the only person that was visibly upset about Lancer about to get all stabby was Fiore. Rin was more exasperated than anything, and I don't know if Amy really reacted. More of the panic was towards Neo stabbing himself, and even then, it was more because Fiore was really upset by it than anything that the others reacted like they did.

...Also, Neo's going to regret the whole withstanding damage thing. Because Mille's pretty much going to accept his little challenge. :V Since she's going full on reinforcement, I expect his equipment to not be working for a good few months.

For a while, you mean. When gets back to the Manor, he's going to inject his Healing Elixir to his gonads and genitals. But then again, he had a price to pay, a PR-related one, when he gets to hurt Millie after being kicked in his manparts. You know how well that goes.

And oh, please, Neo didn't shoot himself in the stomach. He just threatened to do it.

That, and he's probably going to have the crap beaten out of him if he tries. Mille may not be an expert in combat, but she's no slouch, plus the fact that she can set him on fire by just drawing a rune in his general vicinity's probably not all that good for him. :P Plus I imagine she'd have friends with her, so she wouldn't exactly be alone either. So pretty much he still qualifies for that Darwin Award despite not being able to die. :V

Neo keeps his word, even at the cost of his safety, whether he's on your side or against you. Keep in mind that I was so influenced by South Park when I was creating the immortal trio, so they're all designed to be able to go Kenny McCormick, more so Neo because he's an alchemist.

It's a random direction. Of course, he won't land at the Manor. And it's funnier that way. Besides, he still has to get his motorcycle back, so he's going to jack a vehicle to drive back into the park just to get it back. (By that time, though, the rest would no longer be there.)

Mike I honestly wonder if you're paying attention to what's happening in the RP. Day 2 is barely starting for 4 groups of characters, the biggest two besides you Kuro and Mil are still in Night 1.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Knick on June 30, 2014, 04:32:37 PM
Also a lot of people are waiting for some groups to be done before progressing, like Shiro, Amelia, Benjamin, and Jubei are not gonna be doing anything until at least the two bigger groupa are done.

Also it like morning for people in day 1. You have time don't worry man.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Cherry Lover on June 30, 2014, 05:02:11 PM
That would be fine if Kuro was posting at a rate that made it remotely possible for us to catch up with you guys, but he's not. And, because of the nature of my characters, skipping day 2 and the earlier part of night 2 doesn't make sense either (Kiyoshi would have to wake up and then go straight back to sleep again).

And, whilst the biggest groups are still on night 1, they're wrapping up now (you're just waiting on one last post with Alice). Our group is nowhere near doing so, and won't reach that any time soon because Kuro is slow posting.

Basically, we're already behind and are only going to get further behind. Kuro seems to be taking absolutely no notice of this, and is insisting on remaining on night 1 despite posting at a far slower rate than everyone else.

7.) Give other players time to respond. Now sometimes two players will go on a tangent with themselves. It's expected and can be fun, and if their interaction is separate from most everyone its fine. Plus it would be expected in a love scene between two characters. Now if there is an event and other people are trying to catch up slow down. Like if a group of players are fighting something, and one of them has trouble catching up, give them time to respond.

However if a character does not reply within a 24 hour period during a time of “heavy action”, I apologize, but we will be forced to move without them. Don't worry, we won't kill your character and we'll say they did something neat during the conflict so they're not a mook.

Literally nothing stopping you.

Yes, there is. I can post as many times as I like under that rule, but without a reply I can't actually do anything. I can't just assume Kuro offered a place to sleep or anything like that.

Well, yes, that is possible, and if Kuro isn't going to be helpful here I will have to do that. Honestly, though, right now I think I'll stick with this, and make a decision on it when you guys actually reach night 2. If necessarily I'll just send Rider out anyway and completely ignore Kuro's insistence that we're on night 1, since if we're a whole day behind at that point then it doesn't matter anyway. If we actually manage to reach day 2 before you guys reach night 2, then I'll just hand-wave it in order to get Rider out at the right time. It's not like the RP has particularly rigid timescales, in the previous version we had events that should have taken hours taking as long as events that should have taken minutes.

Post by: Knick on June 30, 2014, 05:24:57 PM
Mike this situation is as following.

You are trying to make the other people miss a day because you want to do BDSM things with Rider. Which is bad for them cause they might want things to happen in the day.

If you don't want to wait for them then do the following. Have Rider be like "Holy shit!" to thantos and run away with Kiyoshi. But you can't just say to them, oh it night 2 cause you were being slow and I want to do my own things.

If you don't want to wait for them get rider and Kiyoshi out of there, skip to day, have Kiyoshi and Rider interact with people at that time then do night things when night happens. A few people are waiting till situations happen until they use a character because they don't fit in a situation.

Like I have a villain character planned that I would love to bring in right now, but I am waiting for a specific event before he shows up, and even he might not interact with people. If a good opportunity does not present itself I cannot have him start fucking with people's heads.

You got to adapt to the situations your are given. You can't be stubborn with something because you don't like it.

Post by: Cherry Lover on June 30, 2014, 06:08:14 PM
It's not just that I want to do BDSM things with Rider. If I want to do absolutely anything with anyone outside this group then either our group has to catch up with everyone else (which means either we time-skip or they wait for us) or I have to just ignore the time difference entirely.

I don't see how that is in any way unreasonable. I want to be able to interact with people outside this small group, and I cannot do so if our small group is out of sync with everyone else by a day. I think it's ridiculous for Kuro to insist that we remain miles behind everyone else, and it's unfair on all the other players in the RP for us to be behind them.

It is entirely reasonable of me to want to be able to switch between groups. If Kuro cannot keep up with the other group, then I will have to invoke a time skip of my own somehow, and if we are an entire day behind then I see absolutely no harm whatsoever in skipping that day. Explain to me how doing so in any way inconveniences anyone, because I can't fucking see it....

I'm not asking you guys to "skip a day", I'm saying that I intend to skip a day somehow in order to stay in touch.

It is absolutely fucking ridiculous of you to expect me to stay a day behind and be stuck with only one group just because that group is moving slowly and one of the people in it is refusing point-blank to accept just starting on night 2 instead despite the fact that that would cause them absolutely no problems. So, frankly, you can cram it. I don't give a fuck what you think, because you are quite obviously fucking biased. I will do whatever I damn well like, and the only person who can tell me not to is Elf.

Ultimately, the RP only works if every group is on about the same time or assumes they are. That means not following a rigid timetable. I am not going to be told I can't interact with someone because the group I am with is "behind" them, I will simply find a way to catch up. If you don't like that, then tough fucking shit, because I don't care what you think.

Honestly I would have had my reply up sooner but I have most of my schoolwork due on the weekends so I can't post then.

Lyco Aptera is more than likely not going to follow the group into a hotel - multi-story buildings = heights = anxiety from trauma of trying to fly and being pushed off high places and shame at no wings, despite his curiosity.

I guess that means that Enkidu and Lyco Aptera are off to run into Law/Mordred and Sakura/Ramesses II?

Zolgen is not actually involved in this and Sakura thinks Ramesses is an idiot, he should have stopped fighting as soon as another party showed up, to many variables for her liking.

It's nice to know that someone is reasonable about these things; Daiki and I have agreed that we should wait for Law and Moedred and Sakura to respond.

Rider Ramesses II might not see Lycodrake Aptera as a "true dragon" but perhaps this will change his tune. That and Lyco Aptera only cares about that sort of opinion from other dragons, not some arrogant human or demigod that treats truly powerful creatures as tools.

I admit that my choice of action is probably a poor, foolish one, of course. ^^;

Waiting on Brah/Chris to respond on my end.

Though this situation does bring up my worry that Lyco Aptera is too "weak" or "underpowered". I've had other ideas for powers that would suit him, but didn't want to include them until I felt certain about them - and they suited a related character of mine, Randt, better.

I could always bring in Marie Al'miraj and/or [Nike], I suppose...

Sorry to hear that, Brah - hope you get it worked out soon.

I have to agree with Sakura: Rider Ramesses II is kind of an idiot.
"Eunuch"? "Toad"? What.
[edit]
also: trump card activated
In Nasuverse terms, iirc, unless Ramesses II has some sort of gift from Thoth or another Egyptian/Persian god or goddess of wisdom or defense, he can't touch Lycodrake Aptera personally.

Blessed by every god there is.

Edit: By the way, I feel I should make this clear; All Phantasmal Beasts' of Ramesses besides the Sphinx are under Mook laws and can be killed at will within reason. For example, Law definitely can't kill the Hadhayosh alone, but Magos can still dictate it's actions without my consent to a degree.

If you can look at your character in question and go "This guy can take a Divine Beast, who are equal or stronger than a fair number of Servants and have Magic Resistance that makes Saber's look like garbage", then you're free to do with them as you wish. Do keep in mind that I might still detail part of their actions.

As for the number of them, well, I sorta decided on that he can have around seven out without activating Ramesseum, though he can go two or three above that if he tries hard and has breathing space to concentrate in.

Because Gil had all the NPs ever because he was the oldest hero and had all the shit, so like, Ramesses should only have mythological beasties from his time and after

I've been sick up until Friday, and then Friday I was busy because it was the 4th and Saturday I was out of town for the entire day. That's why I haven't posted yet. However- I'd like to note something.

Stop. Telling. Me. To. Post.

I get it. I know I need to do it. And telling me to do it constantly isn't going to make me do it any faster. When I don't post, I almost always have a reason for it, at least a somewhat decent one. I want my posts to be halfway decent at least, and that takes a bit of time sometimes, especially with everything I need to reply to. Pestering me to do so constantly isn't going to speed it up any. In fact, it's going to slow it down because either I feel overly pressured or I'm exasperated enough with it that I just don't even feel like doing it.

It's not been a month yet. It's been a week. If it's been almost a month, feel free to lambast me to hell and back, unless I have a damn good reason for it. I probably deserve it at that point. But if it's only been a bit over 5-7 days, show some damn patience.

Sorry for the grouchiness, and people who don't talk to me over Skype are probably going to be confused, but I just wanted to make this clear to people.

No, I think that EMIYA is drawn a bit bulker.  Best example would be the FH CG of Archer pulling the bow string compared to the Glasses Cheesecake pic. The Hollow CG definitely has him HUGE.  Not that the Glasses pic isn't nice, because it is except for those hands, but yeah, EMIYA, even when drawn by Takeuchi for Extra, is not as bulky as his FSN counterpart.

Which sort of makes sense if you think about it.  Nameless Hero lived in a world were magecraft was pretty much dead right?  So he didn't get into the tracing and what not that EMIYA did.  He wasn't mounting swords onto bows and firing them.  He was using guns for the most part if that CG in Extra is correct (and his choice of decor in CCC).

I could also bring up the fact that Semiramis has to go to baghdad just to get her NP to work and Solomon takes months of prep time and a while lot of worldly materials just to make his golem while Medea does all of her work from the safety of her base with no such weaknesses. (In fact she doesn't even go all out she purposefully keeps it low key.)

Then there is the Grail hacking stuff but there's no point in trying to get through to you anyways.

I would also like to reiterate the fact that in prototype Medea was actually supposed to be the Gilgamesh of the story but got pushed down by sealing her dragon.

Post by: Milbunk on July 08, 2014, 06:37:43 AM
No where in the quotes does it say BARELY, that's just BLers being cynical about my methods to prove Medea. The fact that it's so strong it ups to her an entire tier and the fact that it's a dragon which are said to be some of the strongest creatures in the Nasuverse is no small feat. Even if it's a weak dragon it's still a dragon.

Really though, Ex magecraft? That's pretty darn ridiculous to just give someone regardless of the situation, unless it had been previously stated, I don't really care about any of the other things you wanted to use but that particular skill is really baseless. (Well that and the Ex ranked Magic Resistance but whatever one thing at a time.)

Just because I like to use U/C to help fill in holes that are most oftentimes left out unexplained does not mean that my statements do not carry any merit. Really if you want to go there, the fact that Nasu supervised the game gives it just as much basis as Aprocrypha has.

Being mid tier in Fate would mean it would be just rehash of vs Rider fight, which is just issue for Shirou!Saber because lol prana issues. Still, the outcome would be Medea fried by beamu and Saber ready for imminent dicking session.

U/C has nonsensical stuff like Rin winning HGW on her own. It's really clear Nasu, if he really supervised it, did not care about canonicity as much as in case of Apocrypha.

As much as I would love to argue such a VS this is not the place for such a thing, really though Caster isn't the type to simply brute force her way through things like Rider was forced to. Given the proper moment she can weasel her way through a lot of bad situations in a really impressive manner.

It's usually pretty easy to tell which routes are meant to be taken as a joke and which ones are much more serious in their manner.

Saber'd A-rank MR completely nullifies Medea's stuff. Astolfo's A-rank MR and the even higher MR of his Hippogriff gets completely chunkaroonied by Semiramis. I rest my case and now I'm done. You're the Mike of Medea, so there's no reason trying to a delusional.

This was a beam by the fortress not from Semiramis herself correct? That is a very different thing you know.

It's one and the same. She's directing every beam from the fortress herself. There's no difference.

Semi can also make functional mirror images of herself with the same magical output and insta-cast Greater Rituals while on the Fortress.

I mean, for fucks sake, are you expecting an EX-ranked Anti World NP  to not be ridiculously overpowered?
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Milbunk on July 08, 2014, 08:43:24 AM
The difference is for example where in the world she can even aim the beams or how many she can fire at a time or if she can even fire them from her person like Medea can for example.

Just how can you confirm that they have the exact same magical output as she does?

And what kind of Greater Rituals, there's a huge difference in the types as you should know.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Brahmastra on July 08, 2014, 08:48:49 AM
Because the mirror images do the same amount of damage with beam spam.

Don't even start on the specifics of the Touhouness when Medea doesn't have em herself.

And by Greater Rituals I mean insta-summon 3000 of the Dragon Tooth Warriors Medea has, except they're stronger and can fly.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Milbunk on July 08, 2014, 08:55:49 AM
So you're telling me she has HSDW, like she actually casts it from her fingers like Medea does regardless of if it is a clone or not?

I refer to the fact that Medea has the knowledge and skill to be able to cast as effectively as she can while Semiramis lacks HSDW for some reason or another. You'd figure she'd have it even at a reduced rank if at all but nope she does not.

No where does it say they are stronger then Medea's bone warriors. And besides Medea's bone warriors are just as easily summon-able considering that by herself she can instantly surround the Emiya household and summon them so fast that they can even trip up Saber. They are even saidthat each one is stronger then a normal human.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Brahmastra on July 08, 2014, 09:06:39 AM
Yep.

I'll add HSDW if it gets your panties untwisted. She possesses the ability to insta-cast Greater Ritual-level stuff so I guess she should have it.

And surrounding a house and THREE THOUSAND are entirely different ballparks. And each one is equal or better than the Yggdmillenia's combat Homunculi, who are a lot more than human. And they can fly.

Mil if you quit waifufagging here and stop complaining about an EX Anti World NP being stupendously OP, then my answers will stop boiling down to smug ways to say "LolEX"

Post by: Milbunk on July 08, 2014, 09:15:55 AM
No I don't think I will and you want to know why? Because if she really does have HSDW that are stronger or in equal rank to Medea I would have received multiple messages about it and I'm not going to let that slip by.

Consider the circumstances of which those are taken from, Medea has just lost her base, her Master and pretty much everything she had and still summoned a ton of them while Semiramis is sitting pretty on top of her giant base, given the circumstances I think it's more impressive for Medea.

Also if they were equal or better then all of the Yggdmillenia's stuff then how come they didn't just swarm them all on the first day and win instantly?

I will quit complaining just as soon as you quite trying to overpower Apocrypha Servants.

Hey Mil why didnt Medea just steamroll every Servant in the war including Gil without a Master, a base and whatever else she had and won the war in a single night?

OH WAIT SHE CANT.

1. Medea has at most shown to summon a few dozen spoopy skelemans at once. A few dozen <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 3000 stronger ones. I don't give a shit about circumstances.

No I don't think I will and you want to know why? Because if she really does have HSDW that are stronger or in equal rank to Medea I would have received multiple messages about it and I'm not going to let that slip by.

2. Please tell me more about your Medea Powerlevel NSA that doesn't exist.

3.

Also if they were equal or better then all of the Yggdmillenia's stuff then how come they didn't just swarm them all on the first day and win instantly?

Because A. Black Team has Servants. B. Hanging Gardens takes a while to set up. and C. Because it would've made for a shitty story, and check my comment above point one.

I will quit complaining just as soon as you quite trying to overpower Apocrypha Servants.

And I won't give an inch because you believe a low-tier Servant is the center of the fucking universe. Otherwise wait for CanonRap to translate Vol 2 and then forever hold your fucking peace when he proves me right.

Semiramis isn't getting changed in any way other than what Names requested.

And, seriously, you're still on a tirade about Chris/Brah's "OP" characters when you're trying to make Medea the very same?

I don't have any memory of "Proto Medea" being "The Gilgamesh". Direct quotes and sources if you're going to make claims like that.

I mostly added a lot of stuff to Karna because A. I gave him abilities closer to those from the actual epic than the ones Nasu came up with and B. His arsenal as a proper Deva not restricted by a class system shouldn't lock things like his now or chariot out.

Also Manaka and The Beast were the Gilgamesh of Prototype, unless you count the actual Gilgamesh the guy as the Gilgamesh of prototype, so you should consider laying off the w33d.

Chris this is no EX rank magecraft, mirror images are not that high level and "directing" the beams of her NP is in no way the same as making them herself.

That would be like saying Saber can shoot beams is something that is not Excalibur.

In this case and this case alone Mil is right, there is nothing to imply her magecraft becomes EX rank

Directing the beams of it is seperate from also shooting them herself.

And mirror images that have the magic output equal to the one who made them is.

And while no, there's technically nothing that says that she specifically has EX Magecraft, she does show what I'd consider that level of magical power; The ability to steamroll through A-rank MR and the higher MR of Astolfo's Hippogriff like it was a joke. For comparison, Medea's A-rank super spells don't even scratch Saber's A-rank MR.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Knick on July 08, 2014, 03:48:49 PM
Ok for a min assume that she makes the beams and it is not just her using her NP (which they are standing in) to do things.

In that situation isn't it safer to assume because of the boosts her NP causes her magic to just bypass MR, rather then her suddenly gaining ability to use magecraft she did not have already?

Workshops don't up your ability with magecraft just make it more efficient and easier to use the full extent of your ability afterall. They are simply a suitable environment to use your magecraft.

Well it all started with this skill:

Magecraft (EX): The ability to know about and use Age of Gods-Thaumaturgy. At this rank, one can be said to be able to weave Magic with every spell, and the laws of Thaumaturgy are all but made void by the user’s sheer power and skill. This is only usable within the Hanging Gardens.

The Ex ranking is a bit too extreme even if it's only within the bounds of her fortress and the vague way its worded is not very descriptive.

ranks don't even seriously matter anyway, unless you're fighting same-world magic resistance feggets, which we have like, almost none of

even then she pierces Asstolfo's A rank and his griffin's higher rank with her shit so even that reason is unimportant

so basically

molehill, thou art my mountain?

and also

shut up about it, I already told chris to clarify, and that's all that's really important at this point

Oh dear god the power wanking in that thing. Honestly though, I wouldn't mind it so much on the grounds of it being a magical girl show if it weren't for all the creepy pedo stuff. *shudders*

Also, try to keep chill in here. It's summer after all, and therefore hot and stuff, so keeping things chill is good, yes? It didn't get really and truly horrible in here this round mind, just a friendly reminder. Another friendly reminder is to try and to leave stuff to Elf and Nachos after making your case. Makes things more chill.

So, I'm reading SoE's sheet and something's bothering me a little bit:

Quote
Invasion of Minds: Capable of entering the minds of others and leaving a copy of himself that melds with them. This copy gains a complete understanding of the one who it is within. Using this it begins to slowly chip away at their insecurities making them doubt, making them fear, slowly and surly it will eat away at them all the while pushing them towards evil actions. This is not something from the ‘outside’ but rather it is a part of the person making them doubt themselves due to how it merges with them. He generally targets recent events to gain a foothold and dig in from there. The copy will also make it whenever the person sleeps they suffer intense, unescapable, nightmares which ware at the person’s psyche.  This invasion cannot be detected and cannot be removed. A person with it will forever have to deal with the whispers of it, now as simply a part of them, trying to push you into evil.

Is this for everyone?  Or can those with strong mental defenses resist?  (Tom and Forest being the two psionics around here.)

Quote
Cloud of Evil: In his true form, as a conceptual existence, he is completely impossible to interact with. He can still be seen but any actions to touch him will be failures. However should someone move even a part of their body through him they will immediately begin to have their darkest desires rise to the forefronts of their minds and will feel the need to act on them. This desire and need will be so great that resisting will make them suffer physical pain and effects similar to drug withdrawal. This is not a form of mental interference on his part, but rather the evil in the person’s mind reacting to his proximity.

I think this is a bit too much, considering that you want us to RP SoE.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Knick on July 09, 2014, 01:39:10 AM
Only complete isolation of the mind from all interference would defend against it, cause it a conceptual thing it does, cause SoE is the temptation to preform evil all people have at some level, so without literally lobotomizing yourself it would be able to get in.

I believe Archive Hunter is the only human that actually defenses against the invasion. Cause his mind is basically like no ins or outs, complete lock-down. And even then that is not really defending against it, more accurate would be calling Archive Hunter an invalid target for this ability.

Granted Forest would be difficult for SoE to fuck with in her own way, with her being really fucking old and probably having a really stable mind. Forest would probably be one of those gradual jobs that SoE likes so much. Granted events that occur can be used to accelerate the process, even momentary lapses or depression acting as a suitable foothold cause he will make a 'mountain of of a molehill' to start eating at her.

Tom I am not even to sure if it would work at all because of what he is, would have to work that out with Alice.

I think this is a bit too much, considering that you want us to RP SoE.

Then ill tone it down a bit. But really he would never do this.

Cause that is basicly forcing someone to do something, and he HATES that. He wants to them chose evil on their own with just a slight nudge.

Edit: Ok Ivan, I made it so they just suffer pain with the effect fading quickly as long as it is not extended contact. Also a note how he hates using it. Hope it is more reasonable.

If you don't want me using mind altering stuff then just tell me, if ya don't want him messing with your characters at all, then say so. That is all there is to it.

I am either going to talk about what he would do to characters beforehand to the player, or let them do it themselves with SoE kinda just talking to them as a normal human while causing slight influence.

If it's irreversible then I probably don't. Sakura's suffered enough of that sort of crap in her life.

Plus, honestly, I'm not sure what sort of evil you could even bring to the surface for several of them. I've never seen any indication of an evil side to Shirou at all, and Sakura's is mostly jealousy and revenge, which is difficult to invoke when she has no-one to really seek revenge against and has just about everything she wants. Kiyoshi and Aoi I'm not sure how they'd react to such a thing, again their motives are mostly very positive and there isn't a lot they have reason to be evil about. Rider, of course, is another matter, and would definitely have evil acts come out, but said acts would involve torturing people and such things, and that requires a player who is willing to RP that. Plus, she's not powerful enough relative to other characters to be able to do that and not end up dead.

I don't mind messing with people, as Neo himself messes with people. The only issue I have is when it tries to alter the behavior, morality, ethics and therefore personality of a person without anyway to argue or fight back. I mean, Neo got thrown off like a pebble for badmouthing anyone. That's sorta fair, considering that he didn't assume indirect control.

If you don't want me using mind altering stuff then just tell me, if ya don't want him messing with your characters at all, then say so. That is all there is to it.

Well yes, I do mind if he meddles with my characters, but so as with any other characters, mainly because they're more powerful and, therefore, more potentially destructive and deadly when turned to be evil.

Well, yes, I guess, but even then I'm not sure what you'd tempt Shirou or Sakura with in general. I guess killing someone in a situation they otherwise wouldn't might work.

You wouldn't describe EMIYA as "evil", though, or even MoS Shirou. You can tempt him to take easy actions that are bad, but I'm not sure if you could corrupt him into outright evil.

I think it becomes a perspective issue with the differing view points; Is there a standard for what is Evil that it uses, or is it based on what the afflicted character sees as evil?

Like say as a somewhat extreme example if someone was of the wholehearted belief that killing daily is good and not killing was evil; Would that person if affected feel the urge to spare peoples lives?

The only irreversible effect is the mental invasion, which is also the easiest to deal with if they don't have glaring mental issues.

And honestly depending on the person he might not even use it.

And Ivan, most of the really super high level people are hard to turn. And Evil does not mean "KILL EVERYTHING" for everyone. His goal is not to kill people, just to make people be themselves (which is in his eyes their repressed evil).

Honestly the highest level person easiest to turn would be Jubei, cause he got shit in his closet man.

And Chris you hit the nail on the head. He always tries and make people evil. But it is a gradual process performing small acts of evil as it integrates more into you as time passes. The temptation to preform evil acts is always there, but it is up to the person if they will act on it.

I mean he can cause an abrupt change under specific circumstances. But that not his style. People have to chose their path themselves, he just helps them along the honest one, giving them a little nudge in the right direction (Disclaimer: Nudge may or may not consist of causing intense mental and emotional trauma, your mileage might vary).

I know, which why I also included "destructive" along with "deadly", because not only concrete things can be destroyed. However, it is evil that's we are talking about here, of course they're going to include full use of abilities to cause concrete and abstract mayhem, so there's that.

(Disclaimer: Nudge may or may not consist of causing intense mental and emotional trauma, your mileage might vary).

This is another issue here. If the person being tempted will resist and this will happen to them, they might as well as commit themselves to a medical facility. Even then, since it is supernatural in origin, the person will eventually go insane. So, it gives them no choice but to do evil or keep resisting and eventually take toll on their mental health.

Ok, Ivan and Mike.

The effects are not consistent. They might not cause nightmares, they might cause nightmares meant to pray on specific fears or desires, they might cause nightmare that just make the person unable to sleep.

The effects VARY and the person who has the character can determine them.

If you don't want it, I won't give it to you. The most SoE will do then will be to talk to your character or perform acts that anger, disturb, etc. them. And even then I might not even have SoE interact with them at all.

And my "Disclaimer" was a joke. You are both thinking to hard about it.

Neo's psychopathic narcissism.
Rattus' alcoholism and PTSD.
Yukina's also has PTSD.

If that was the case, SoE will then be considered as a voice of conscience and will be treated as such.

Like, you know, Yukina mostly sticks with her morals; Neo makes use of his in his own favor without regard to morals and Rattus makes use of his to aid his goals.

Mille already has issues underneath her straightforwardness (and honestly, I didn't enjoy having to write her getting broken all that much with the timing that happened last round. I'd rather have her deal with her issues gradually than be broken outright).

Hakuno's too moe.

Despite not being as broken as EMIYA, Nameless Hero's still pretty broken already. He is Shirou still, after all.

Rin's more fun to write when she's teasing people and being herself, not when she's dealing with trauma.

...and that's all she wrote for me. (http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-v.gif) Until I bring in more characters that is.

The general way his "invasion of minds" manifests is basically a really harsh 'devil on the shoulder' type deal.

Post by: Knick on July 09, 2014, 04:39:01 AM
Ok, I will make my thoughts a bit more clear at someone's suggestions.

SoE is not meant to be a normal antagonist. He is suppose to push character development and cause people to expand how they act to situations.

Example, he will cause trouble with NPCs, increasing crime and turning people into monsters, becoming an obvious issue, however he cannot be killed or destroyed, making people think about how to deal with him, putting the powerful fighters out of their element.

The Devil on the shoulder thing Invasion of Minds does is meant to make people learn to deal with their issues, but such a path always has hardships and might cause the person to be lost on it should they be crushed under the weight of their repressed darkness. Or it will test relationships and force them to grow and become stronger then ever or shatter because of the doubt and strain it causes.

And so on and so forth. I gave him variable abilities so he can act in varying ways. I am not going to be playing him like, "Ok lets fuck the heads of everyone".

He is more a part of the environment that will force people to change and grow, or fail to grow and wither, depending the person.

Please take this into account when thinking about him.

I'm presuming you're reffering to Semiramis here, in which case; Did I ever say otherwise? EX-rank Anti World Noble Phantasm makes for instant OPization.

Edit: I guess I should paint out the mental issues of my characters who have such.

Karna's mind is made of reinforced titanium, nothing to see here.

La Folia's pretty happy-go-lucky, nothing to see here.

Ramesses straight up doesn't give a fuck, nothing to see here.

Caules has issues with guilt and blames himself a lot.

Fiore has pretty severe issues with violence beyond people hitting other people (such as Neo stabbing his heart out or anything that involves large amounts of blood) and is an affection-whore in the sense that she desires the positive attention of those around her subconsciously, so she unintentionally (or is it?, which is where SoE could become a real bitch) acts in a way that invites sympathy.

Kagura has anger issues in regards to things happening to women.

Lorelei has some social insecurities, but also has a mind of steel. Nothing much to see here.

Shiroumine is a man made out of salvation and piety, so there's not much to affect.

Semiramis has (as I'm clearly painting out even right meow) some problems coming to terms with how she feels. Bad control and overview of her own emotions.

Also Chris the only two of your characters SoE would not even try with are Karna and Ramesses. Cause Karna is THE duty fag and Ramesses is Gil junior in terms of ego and sence of self.

Shirou is possible because he is the fucking devil and would approve of his plan. Lorilei has some insecurity with proper character interactions could be perfect sticking points, and even then since she has some she can be effected anyway.

Don't know enough about Le Folia to comment.

So you purposely gave you female character a famously male Greek name ('us' at the end of a name in greek is a male name generally so even if they don't know medea's myth it is an odd name to give a girl).

So either that girl was at one point a boy, which needs to be in the them background, or her parents, or whoever named her, were shit heads.

  • Buildings change or special/specific buildings are added by the season.
  • Limbo-esque dimension change kinda like what you'd see in DMC?

Isn't the Nexus just "as big as we need it to be" anyway?

Magos, you should probably just alter the "magic resistance" in the Hunter to "Supernatural Tolerance". Most magic and powers that affect Spirits, Angels or Demons don't hurt Strix anyways even if some Blood Sorcery and Disciplines can, but their Shadow Potency does offer defense against the ones that can if they're directly used against them.

Fixed.

See, I always thought this is ridiculous and a bit of bad story telling.  She was trained as a Knight and worked her ass off as a squire.  I mean, did she always use Prana Burst to fight?  Pick up her sword?  There's no way she should be that weak when Prana Burst isn't activated.

So I'm going to say she's been working with Rin and Archer to get HUEG. So she's D on the Human scale when her Burst isn't activated. 

Also approvals updated.

She's a 5'Dwarf with the muscle mass of a twig. Hell, Rin is said to be significantly stronger and faster than Saber without Prana Burst.

Also, it's not like squiring is a physically demanding job. You hand a dude his weapons and help him get his armor on. That's about it.

The only reason Saber isnt literally physically weaker than the Avenger from the 3rd war (who was basically just a normal guy, not even the HA one) is because Merlin made her SPESHUL by shoving a dragon into her while she was in the womb.

So I'm going to say she's been working with Rin and Archer to get HUEG. So she's D on the Human scale when her Burst isn't activated. 

Keep in mind her Speed and Agility would both also be reliant on PB. She'll probably not be a D (probably B++ or something) on Human Scale, but she's still not that fast without PB.

While it's canon and we can't really do much to refute it, it's still a pretty dumb contrivance that Saber's Servant level stats are all dependent entirely on Prana Burst when other Servants from her era WITHOUT IT have high tier attributes.

I mean, yes, it'd kind of make sense if she only had lower Servants stats without taking into account Prana Burst, but I don't think there is any good reason at all for her to only be as physically strong as a modern human teenager, especially taking into account that she did train to be a Knight and all that shazz.

Far as I'm concerned it's one of those iffy Nasu things we have no choice but to shake our heads with a sigh and accept.

Elf, if my Mage in works takes Manifested Avatar merit which means his shard of soul that powers his Magic can take
a tangible form with full personality, does the Avatar count as part of the character or he/she needs extra slot?

I am taking Time 3 and Correspondence 3 as his Spheres. Expect alteration of time powers and his bullets bending their trajectory in impossible ways due to teleportation related shenanigans. He also might be one of faster non Servant magicians since Time Sphere grants equivalent to Celerity, plus Correspendence at his level allows for teleportation. Won't be able to go against Servants, still, because no means of actually damaging spirits, and faster Servants are much above him.

Alright mike, you wanted to know what the inside of Minatodai Dorm looked like so I made a terrible video because it is easier to see it than just read about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3KKYk5vxKI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3KKYk5vxKI)

Changes from the original in the video so far:

On the right wall of the dining area on the first floor is a door leading to a fairly large kitchen.

The door in the indented section of the back of the first floor dining area leads to the basement...  And by basement I mean underground time space labyrinth.

The second and third floor hallways get longer and add rooms based on the number of occupants.

There is a red door on the back wall on the second floor entry that leads to a sort of armory where Minato stored all the weapons and armor he has collected.

There is a yellow door on the back wall of the third floor entry that leads to a treasure room where Minato keeps all the gold, jewels, treasures, and artifacts he has accumulated.

The roof access now leads to a kaleidoscopic vortex of colors... I mean DOOM!.

The front door leads to any of eight locations in the city based on where you want to go, it is random if you aren't wanting to go any place in particular.

EDIT
Before anyone says anything, I am aware that the video is shit. It was the first one I have ever made ever.

Also sorry it took so long, I had a pile of studying and exams to deal with. That is basically done so all I have left is labsim catchup which I can spread out a little.

It was originally a dorm for high schoolers in japan, the fact that there are male and female rooms in the same building is somewhat unusual.

That being said, Minato isn't going to say anything for awhile about that, he will only expect you to get separate rooms once you are both settled in well enough that it won't be a significant inconvenience. Everyone gets their own room; Nobody says anyone has to stay in their own room every night.

People who sign the book to become permanent residents will find their rooms become more suited to their needs. Rider may find extra bookshelves, with some of them stocked; She may also find a convenient loose panel that lets her check on Kiyo in the room below hers as much as she wants, and even get to his room without having to run down the stairs.

Minato will likely tell them abot the book when he wakes up, around noon.

Well, Rider was likely going to just grab one of the male rooms next to Kiyoshi, although how much time she actually spends in it is another matter. Unless there's an actual practical reason she cannot do that (i.e. not just "it's against the rules") that's what's almost certainly going to happen, at least for the time being.

As for Sakura and Shirou, they would have no reason to want to sleep apart, they are a married couple after all. So, even if they are required to have separate rooms, I would expect them to only use one of them in most situations.

Well, Rider can turn incorporeal and travel through the floor if necessary, but she would like Kiyo to be safe and to feel secure, and he'll feel more secure when he's next to her.

Minato will likely tell them abot the book when he wakes up, around noon.

Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Kurogami on July 16, 2014, 11:48:26 PM
Signing the book makes you a resident officially.

When you do that a room on the appropriate floor will be auto stocked and restructured to suit your needs and preferences, Kiyo's might be filled with things he likes or that make him feel safe or inspires bravery for instance, and the person's name appears on their door.

The only obligations for children are to clean up their messes and not die.

Adults are expected to help keep food on the table either by bringing in groceries or actually cooking the food, but even that is more a matter of courtesy than anything, he won't say anything even if you don't.

As for the need to be near Kiyo, the dorm may go so far as to join the two rooms together or stick some stairs in the back of the room, time space dorm is as convenient as it needs to be, and you get to decide what the rooms turn out like; Though it will still stick the entrance to Rider's room on the third floor.

Well, Kiyoshi is actually more likely to help with cooking than Rider is. Kiyoshi enjoys cooking, whereas Rider can't really cook (she doesn't need to eat, and she is surrounded by exceptional cooks, so she has no reason to learn). Rider could get groceries, though, if necessary.

Ah, OK. So, it could basically just be one room with two entrances?

Also, when Shirou and Sakura arrive, can it re-arrange the rooms further (i.e. to connect their room to Rider and Kiyoshi's)? They are a family, after all. Or does it only create the rooms when they first sign, and after that it doesn't change them?

More like a two level mini apartment but effectively yes. It would be two rooms technically but would be connected together as much as needed. It may be something like a room with a large loft above, something like that?

In that situation Shirou and Sakura would likely get a joined room like you want to give Rider and Kiyo, plus it would add a door that connects the two super rooms.

OK, that makes sense. Although, I suspect Rider will have something more like a separate room with a door connecting it to Kiyoshi's room (although I'm not sure how that would work with the stairs). At very least she'd probably want some possibility of privacy, particularly once Sakura and Shirou arrive (since they will then take care of Kiyoshi more).

Knick, it's Mage, going ridiculous come at price at hilarious botches, and you haven't read the sheet anyway (which is not ready yet). And it's just a joke on my part with Nasuverse comparisons. I cannot beamu everything like Aoko since I would sooner explode from Paradox backlash in front of so many witnesses. It's more about how high Avatar rating with Prime makes me Quintessence efficient. And dat time control powers (if done subtly). Plus Correspondence from traveling dimensions in relatively effective manner.

My char has no means to affect more powerful characters anyway since I cannot take Spirit 5 to affect spiritual beings on level of Servants.

If I wanted to try something OP from the same gameline, I would take an Archmaster so I could dunk small moons on people with Forces 7, or have Avalon tier invulnerability with Life 9, or exist everywhere or nowhere with Correspondence 9. To gain 6th dot of a Sphere my char would have to last at least 5 years in CE, which is impossible.

It's decided, my Ecstatic's avatar will be female. And manifested. And used as foci for any Life Sphere he might have.
Go figure how (Magos made me use her as foci).

Actually, I don't know yet what Spheres he has, but I designated some rules I will abide by when finishing him:

1) He is Disciple. That means he has more than 6 Sphere dots of new characters, but cannot go beyond 3

2) And of course he won't be 3 in all Spheres. Having 1 or 2 in Spheres he does not specialize in is far more likely than having 3 in Spheres which are not his main gimmick.

Also, I figured out foci for any potential Spheres he might have except for Enthropy (I missed that when brainstoriming)

1) Correspondence - cocaine
2) Enthropy - (placeholder)
3) Forces - music
4) Life - sex
5) Matter - magitek chemical lab he was gifted by a colleague who is a Son of Ether (for making magical meth of course)
6) Mind - LSD
7) Prime - meth
8) Spirit - alcohol
9) Time - weed

He may get in trouble if Nexus City enforces anti-drug laws, even if it's for his use. Fuck the police!

So after some deliberation with Jenn and others, it looks like the city is indeed expanding. So..... we need people who can draw to do this for us. Or anyone that can work out a program. It doesn't have to be super detailed. It can be as detailed as the actual map of now.

Check this link out and see how it's working out so far: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1gUEy4oB1Iw2FKyyxGyUOWiUm-m2PQSKyGvH1whxye_o/edit

So please come and volunteer if any of you have the tools or skills for this. Cause we're gonna need it for this RP.

Museum, Dojo, Super tower, nature fringe (with world tree and probably a bunch of nature spirits), ghost theater, a school (or schools of varying age levels in varying locations), hospital, fire department, library and city hall, Aegis base and Redlight district (bars and brothels and casinos), an entertainment district (zoo, acquarium, a park), A few religious places (shinto shrine, Church etc.), a few docks in the river, an uber cemetary,a few residential districts, a few hotels, part of the great wall of china, amusement park/carnival/circus, a smithery, magical district (bizaar, school)


Please do make a mosque. Hue.


So we can make the RP go Postal.

Gonna be honest and admit that dropping honnouji in the ocean was mostly a joke, The tidal wave would kill almost everyone anyway. :P

On to more serious thoughts.

What is the scale of the city anyway?

Minato basically owns a ten kilometer chunk of the city, how big is this in comparison to the city overall?

Kuro, your character owns 1 building unless your Gil, who already owns the entire city because he owns everything, he just lets the plebeians use it.

If they own more it has to be for an actual legit reason. Like Zolgen does not own the sewers, but no one would live in the sewers and he made them into breeding pits. Now no one would EVER want them.

You can't just go "Oh he owns 10 KM of the city for no real reason BTW."

Especially since 10km is a ridiculous amount of property in a highly populated city.

Post by: Kurogami on July 19, 2014, 04:52:08 AM
Ok, first of all sorry; I didn't think anyone would misunderstand the meaning of that statement...

I suppose the way I put it could have been better phrased.

I meant owns not in the legally owns property sense, but in something loosely resembling the way a second owner "owns" their area; Or at least that was the line of thought I had when typing it.

Allow me to repeat, Minato Is Not The Legal Owner Of Ten Kilometers Of Land.

Minato is the sort of unofficial manager of supernaturals in that ten kilometer area; The locals look at him as a leader but a certain immortal old man with a enormous and Magnificent Mustache actually does most of the management and negotiation with the surrounding districts as well as the city government as the official district representative, and just waves Minato around as a big stick.

That said Minato does act as the protector of that area and has managed to keep the people, both the supernaturals and humans, mostly safe. His district is essentially one of the safest parts of the city if you a supernatural who wants to coexist with ordinary humans, there are admittedly a few places that are safer for humans but non-humans are generally entirely unwelcome in such places.

Does that cover it a bit better? Any more questions? Or am I gonna get torn apart for some other reason?

Well, that and... well, for one, why would he have this anyway? From what I've seen/played of P3, I don't think he'd have that much influence, even with the Personas, especially in that short of a period of time. And two, why are all non-humans considered hostiles? Plus if that's the case, Rider and possibly Haruna should fall under that same policy.

Umm, Alice you might want to re read my post a bit more carefully.

I said that if you are a supernatural of any sort who wants to coexist with normal humans, then Minato's district is one of the safest places in the city for you to live. I mentioned that while it is also very safe for normal humans, it is not the safest, but that most of the places that are safer for normal humans than Minato's district are intolerant of non-humans.

Also I never once implied that Minato is a recent arrival to the city.

Ah, misread then. Though that begs the question, if a hostile supernatural is more subtle in their hostility, what then? And what about humans that murder/rape/torture, those still exist. Plus the Nexus is very dangerous, how is Minato able to keep it the safest district in the city with god tier antagonists about?

Still didn't answer the rest of my questions though.

Why does Minato have that much influence? How is he able to maintain all that, especially at that radius? It just doesn't make much sense, especially given the time frame.

Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Kurogami on July 19, 2014, 06:14:22 AM
If you go around killing people in his district he is going to end you if he is the one who catches you no matter if you are human or supernatural. Well, humans who kill/rape/torture generally get dealt with by some of the more proactive local supernaturals and humans who don't like that sort of crime going on where they live.

With the more subtle kind of hostility, there is no good answer for that; I would hope that the hostile sort would refrain from moving to a known center of coexistence, but if someone like that did show up The old man would deal with them. Manipulation and politics are his area of expertise.

So to some degree the locals all protect each other. Minato generally deals with whatever he happens upon or the locals can't deal with.

That is to say that while he will often help with smaller issues and take requests, he is only guaranteed to get called in if it is something big.

As for the time frame, I have been implying that Minato has been in the city for a decent length of time. I think at one point I said that three years before the start of the game was the most recent I would have had him arrive.

As for his influence, that can be attributed to the locals liking him and/or respecting the power he wields and what it does for the community, the old man manipulating that to turn him into a hero figure and using the reputation it built up to stave off a large amount of threats; And his unnerving tendency to end up in leadership positions for no damn reason, even when he tries not to.

That said this is what it turned into after a period of not less than three years, it started out as just the neighborhood he was in.

Any further questions/complaints/concerns?

Post by: Puck-Chan on July 19, 2014, 06:57:13 AM
Talked with Magos, Rae, Chris, Jenn, and others. I'll speak on their behalf.

Minato is not going to be capable enough to even patrol deeply enough on his own for 10 kms. Especially when he doesn't have his own car, lmao. That and his abilities are not going to be capable enough to get him much influence in a town like Nexus, nor do much of anything. Especially when living there for a few years. And Igor has jackshit of influence there. Covered it with them. And canonically from P3 and P4, he did basically nothing outside of the Velvet Room. So there's absolutely no reason why he's gonna start doing shit in the city even now.

Also to add, Minato doesn't seem to care much outside of his own circle. He's more wandering around than patrolling. So he's basically, "I don't care".

People assumed this meant Igor. I was kinda wondering about that, I didn't notice any confirmation that it was Igor. That should answer that.

Ah well in the post before that I mentioned the Immortal old man with an enormous mustache, he has even appeared in IC already.

But yeah, not Igor. If it was Igor I would have just typed Igor.

This old man is very manipulative, he would have to be to survive politics in the nexus, and he has been alive for a very long time even by the standards of immortals.

Anyway you are right for the most part, Minato basically does just wander aimlessly at night having random encounters unless someone comes to him with a request. Usually the requests end up being to kill something or other so same old same old for him either way.

Plus over the course of years he has to have fought, and killed, a number of fairly bad things through simple odds of encounter, you have to think, what might he have run into over the course of three years?

I will mention again that Minato did not actually play much of an active role in the development of this setup, it was that scheming old man.

I am sorry if this doesn't make much sense, if it makes it easier the district could be an out of the way section far away from most of the conflict centers, and in a less urban part of the city. I had sort of thought of it that way already anyway.

Smaller buildings, small businesses, residential spaces that sort of thing.

As for the empty building thing... I'm honestly not sure what you're talking about. ^^" Is there some special defense around the building or something?

Also on Strixes. I doubt this would happen, but what happens if a Strix has to deal with another being capable of devouring souls? Is it just who wins out first, or what would happen?

Strix in vampires can be diablerized, and they can diablerize vampires in turn. Basically it's whoever gets in the first punch and makes it stick.

Another question, what kind of ridiculous luck check did he pass to get into the dorm and not just find himself in an empty building like nearly any other uninvited guest would?

In case you are wondering I am slightly irritated that you decided to undermine my dorm without so much as a post in my general direction.
No and no. It has to be sunlight in particular, and only sunlight. Flashlight won't do shit, magic won't do shit if it's based in the physical, because he is fucking SHADOW.

I'm sorry what, you never mentioned any defenses like that and even if there WERE; immortal being of darkness around since time immemorial > whatever some teenager can come up with

Minato's sword is a holy grail beam saber, that I specified can cut whatever Minato wants it to, so I should hope it does a little more than base sword damage.

Space time dorm is called that because it is technically in eight places at once; But for practical purposes the dorm is in none of the places unless someone opens the front door at which point it's position becomes fixed in one of the places for a short time.

I have mentioned this before too.

To put it simply if someone who is not allowed tries to enter the dorm, it would almost definitely fix itself somewhere else. This is not infallible, someone with time space abilities could get around it, and someone with high enough luck could just walk right in thanks to simply turning the odds in their favor. Probability manipulation would also work.

Flying in through a window with no luck stat, no time space skill, no probability alteration, and no talking to me beforehand definitely does not work.  >:(

Though I am having trouble not laughing at the concept of a persona protag not being able to kill a shadow. Probably a different sort of shadow but the thought is still hilarious.

See, this is the problem with this shit, it makes no sense and again with the strix there is nothing to cut you fucking dumbass. I even specified that.

Also he's got a 1 in 8 shot of getting in then so just fucking roll with it man.

Ah, okay, gotcha. What about someone that can eat souls outright though? Is it similar in that regard, in that it's who gets to the punch first, or is it somewhat power level based?

Would a UV lamp work? Same wavelength of light.

And Kuro. How is Minato capable of doing any of this? From what I understand, Minato shouldn't really have much in terms of magical ability outside of his Persona.

Strix aren't really souls. They're strange as shit basically, I think the only reason they can be diablerized is because they're so close to the Beast of the Kindred. So if he's in a body and a Kindred pulls Diablerize out of his pocket then yeah, I *think* that'd do it.

UV lamp, no, again. Sunlight. Strix are weird in that they act like spirits while not being spirits. They have specific bans that while they don't harm them (for the most part) they don't allow them to pass. For the Hunter it's the sound of bells, and then the general weakness of sunlight and fire.

Personas can alter and warp time space according to the user's wishes, a small number of them were able to produce a dimensional labyrinth and time travel over a period of six months. Minato in reality has more than a small number of persona.

He made a mistake while trying to figure out how to control this ability and the current state of things is the result, he has not attempted anything near as large scale since.

The chance is not one in eight, the chances are far lower than that, but I am not going to demand that you delete your post or anything, I am going to roll with it and use this as an excuse to let Thanatos play around in Minato's body, a bullshitty idea I came up with just now.

Please don't try to tell me that almighty won't work.

The Abyss of Time was totally made by the SEES members' personae over six months, it also facilitates time travel. That is practically half of the plot of The Answer.

Personae are in the end just tamed shadows, only much much stronger. Their properties do not change so significantly in becoming personae.

Time travel is coincidentally one of the two things I am explicitly banned from doing, the other being any form of in combat teleportation.

 I personally set limits on time space fuckery as well, it takes long stretches of time and uninterrupted concentration to do anything with it, like hours and days. Which is likely the reason there are so few other stipulations on it, there is no practical way to make significant use of it after the game started, it takes too long to get useful results.

That being said, I would like to know if Almighty, the damage attribute with the property of doing damage to everything, would affect your shadow bird. I ask partly out of base curiosity.

Almighty can do damage to anything, sure, doesn't mean it can actually hit. Strixes are immaterial and immune to things to things that hit immaterial things. Basically it's like trying to hit a hologram.

Ok so in order.

Yeah I was more venting annoyance than seriously arguing at that point in the conversation, but yeah it doesn't really cut everything I actually took that out during my last big sheet edit.

I was already planning to add info on the dorm to my sheet for referencing during my next edit, so I can stop having to explain it over again everytime it comes up.

I was commenting on the irony, Minato is a shadow killing specialist that can't hurt a shadow, it is humorous in that this IS a different kind of shadow and his advantage is nonexistent against it.

Gah, my greatest weakness, megido's shitty hit rate. Attacks six enemies, misses five. how does that even work? Repeat, hits two, ugh. I get better results from base mudo.

I have no reply to that last part.

I will make my next round of edits this week most likely so please hold while my character becomes yet again a little more tolerable.

When the phenomena of Dark Hour and Tartarus was created, Tartarus, growing out of the ground each night eventually left a great cove underneath its roots. Following the death of the Protagonist, the Abyss of Time was attracted by SEES' grief and sorrow and spread its influence there, rooting down below the dorm. Eventually the Abyss of Time would become active, locking SEES in an infinite time loop where the time will re-reset itself whenever the clock hits 12:00 A.M., leaving time forever frozen on March 31.

Well, Rider should be able to see him, Kiyoshi should be waking up because this thing is literally stealing chunks of his soul from his breath, and the Strixes yellow yes are boreing into his.

Arch, I am not letting you kill Kiyoshi either, you know that, right? And nor am I going to let you cause him any long-term damage. Still, from what I can tell, having your soul sucked in the Nasuverse only has short-term effects (Rider sucks Ayako's soul in UBW), so I would expect him to just be drained for a bit. If you are going to insist on anything beyond that, then I am going to argue it with Elf.

I believe it's pretty much the equivalent to Kindred sucking blood that the Hunter is doing right now.

Also, the point with Strige that makes them so hard to deal with is precisely that normally very few things can hurt it, except for its Banes. That would be Fire and Sunlight plus whatever other Bane the Strix has acquired if it's been around long enough.

So, say, if it didn't use the Twilight Form power, a sword that can cut spirits still wouldn't be able to hurt it (unless it was specifically enchanted to hurt Strix by Blood Sorcery), but a shotgun with Dragon's Breath would because it's fire. And it doesn't matter if that fire is of supernatural or mundane origin, it is complete anathema to them.

With Minato's time space control there is the issue of requiring long stretches of time (In the order 6 hours to several days, or shorter periods over weeks.) to do anything remotely significant with (I made a room slightly bigger!), and just because people seem to still have problems with it, I will add to that and say that the nexus supresses that and the only thing he can use time space power on is himself, the dorm, and things in the dorm.

I will be making a sheet for this guy eventually so most of his story will have to wait but his motivation can be summed up as a split between his ambition to bring peace to as much of the nexus as possible, and his own amusement.

I do not intend on taking out a bunch of things but I do want to try to be able to do the things I want to do without trampling lore too much.

Right, I get it. The question now becomes, would it be too meta for Minato to know to use fire, normally I would say yes it is and leave it but the city is apparently full of them so my line of questioning becomes;

Are the strix as a whole recent or have they been in the city over a long period?

If they have been here a long time what are the chances of Minato having run into them before?

And if he attacked them would they flee before he cycled through the other elements and tried fire?

I will not interfere this time but I want to know just in case it comes up again later.

Too Meta. And the Strix have always been there. They just don't always show themselves. When calamity comes, the Owls come ahead of it, a Harbinger of disaster to come. With a possible demon apocalypse on the end, plus the Grail, they're being attracted in numbers because to them this is like a god damn dinner show. Plus, if he ever met one, I doubt he'd KNOW or have been even able to hit it before it decided he'd make a nice host, possessed him, and gone fucking apeshit with him because it can until his body rots to dust, in approximately 2 weeks or so. They'd probably not attack. They don't attack as much as take what they want. And what they want can be anything from a body to seeing someone commit suicide to just talking.

As YOLF was saying, play nice you guys. There are lines that can be crossed, after all.

To translate... quite frankly, a lot of this stuff doesn't make sense for Minato in terms of abilities or backstory. He shouldn't be able to manipulate the time space continuum, magically heal something like anemia, or take down a freaking dragon so easily, Persona or no Persona. Plus it seems OOC for him to be this actively heroic, or this willing to kill something that looks so human as a vampire does. After all, he's a normal kid at the end of the day.

Basically, Minato's stuff needs a lot of work at this point, as it is getting somewhat ridiculous.

Alright then, that answers that. Too meta to know to use fire, no chance of having met one before.

No I am not, If I was going the Satoshi route I would have teleported into the bedroom in full battle gear and immediately overkilled it with a top tier fire spell without asking. Instead I have still done nothing and I instead asked questions in OOC to find out if it was feasible for Minato to intervene, which I now know that it isn't so I will do nothing.

To everyone else I know I have issues with explaining, I try to explain things as they come up because there are a lot of things I don't think to put in the sheet, which is one of the reasons why I edit it so much. I have taken some liberties with my Minato, but I try not put in anything that I cannot give an explanation for.

I will however mention that Minato did not have an easy time against that dragon, he nearly died several times over and spent more time healing himself than fighting.

And now I will definitely be starting another round of sheet edits tomorrow.

I'm sorry Mil, but you are seriously overstating Kojiro in some places.

1. Viltrification doesnt make him 100% immune to Mental Interference. If so, you're implying that his B+ skill is far superior to even Bravery A+

2. Knowledge of Respect and Harmony isn't "my attacks are literally unreadable", it's that the opponent cannot apply pattern recognition to his attacks. Saying shit like Instinct doesn't work is absolute bullshit, because that's exactly what saves Saber from him like half a dozen times.

3. Eye of the Mind (Fake) doesnt give you a free pass into looking at people's Prana capacity, Noble Phantasm usage, and so forth. You're trying to combine Eye of the Mind and a severely overwanked Discernment of the Poor (as in, DotP can't figure out people's prana, but by reading into people's true nature it might help him figure out that his opponent is trigger happy with their trump card), and it's dumb.

4. Average Yamato farmer doesnt have super-inborn anti-Mental Interference.

Really I call it "bailing out like a bitch" as opposed to "wise tactical retreat" because that's what it is given his attitude so far.

Editing in progress, this time I will put in everything I have yet to (with lots of notes consulting) and I will listen to questions and suggestions after it's done.
This will take a few days but I will still post in IC if my turn comes around.

On the agenda:

1. Finish adding Inherent attributes to Personae.
2. Add info on time space powers with explanation on how he has/can control them (will likely split TS manipulation lesser power into a few fixed greater powers to prevent future playability issues).
3. Add description of the dorm and it's properties (Finalize dorm attributes).
4. Add info on Minato's backstory from after his arrival in the nexus (Make a final decision on how long he has been there).
5. Add miscellaneous bits and pieces that I just forgot to put in the last two times.

I will post here once I am done so if you look and see changes, don't start in on me till I post that I'm done here.

Though I will make it clear beforehand that I am fully aware of the fact that I have given Minato abilities that he does not demonstrate in canon. This was not based on misunderstanding, and I do not claim that he can do any of these things in canon. As such, any reasoning I give for his abilities do not constitute canon or my belief of canon, they are only validations for the purpose of this RP.

In addition, some of the abilities I have given him are based on logical expansion of existing traits, others were created from attributes he possesses in canon that simply did not give him any new power before; A few I added for little reason other than that I felt like it.

So if your complaint is "He can't do this in canon" my answer is and will continue to be: "I am aware, I put it in anyway, I tried to make it make sense. Let me know if something needs better explaining."

This will be the last round so if I forget to add anything then that will be something he just won't have, and if anyone declines to comment this round, then you missed your chance. I will not be doing another edit after this round unless a GM orders me to.

I do ask again, do not start in on me till I post here that I am done, whatever you may see is not certain to be there when you finish the post to gripe about it; I am telling you this now so you don't waste your time.

To be clear, most of what I am doing is putting in things I had planned to reveal later Now because hiding or failing to mention things is bad and does not work I have learned, adding information and descriptions that have been discussed as I need to and have basically been asked to, as well as applying hard limits (and Nerf Foam) to some (read:A LOT) of his powers including the ones I had yet to reveal.

his powers including the ones I had yet to reveal.

You realize this is metagaming, right? It's precisely one of the things that got lantz the boot. Deliberately hiding powers on his sheet is metagaming, and 100% against the rules. There's a clear difference between changing a sheet because of a character trait (IE Quinn can turn into a Rogue Dhampire under certain circumstances, but it is a permanent change to his sheet, cannot be undone, and loses him other things on it) and deliberately hiding powers. The latter is metagaming.


Also the whole thing with adding powers he doesnt have (which is REALLY Suspension-of-Disbelief breaking) is stupid. Again, difference between adding abilities from multiple stories he's in (examples: Karna, Gilgamesh, Fate Averruncus) and just adding shit because you want him to have it (I swear to god that space-time bender dorm is literally lantz-tier awfulness)
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Alice on July 23, 2014, 10:55:59 AM
Also, changing things from direct canon can be okay, but it has to make sense with canon.

Take what I did with Revya for instance. This Revya's from the Gig ending, where it's actually Gig's body they have to share, but somehow the fusion caused his body to get a hair color change and a gender bend (his voice doesn't change one bit. Also, he complains about his hair, but not the lack or addition of certain body parts. This has to be deliberate, because there's differences between the versions of the ending based on gender, but that particular reaction is exactly the same. ...it's pretty great). I claim completing one of the tests they had to perform to undo it set it back so that it was Revya's body, to make the sheet easier to make and to make the power levels more reasonable (because Gig is OP as all hell. I could have done similar and claimed he got some kind of nerf due to the fusion, but eh. ...damn, why didn't I think of that then? ><). So yeah.

And yeah, hiding powers is a real bad idea. You need real good reason to do so, and even then, you need to make damn sure Elf and Nachos are okay with it/know about it, and to get those things on the sheet before the post you first use them. With Tom in 1.0, I I made sure to have his powers on there the moment before he switched forms. And even then, knowing what I know now, I would have just spoiler tagged them, making sure they were on the sheet at the very beginning. And even then I made sure all his current abilities were on the sheet with full descriptions, which had some overlap with his true form's. And I also made sure Elf knew who he was beforehand.

The problem is that lantz did a lot of revealing powers that weren't on his sheets for many of his characters constantly. It was frustrating, and compounded with a lot of the other stuff he did and just how unlikeable his characters were, became a huge problem. You're not as bad as he is, not by a long shot. But after everything lantz disrupted and got away with, we have to be stricter this time in order to insure that something like that does not happen again. I'm sure that if I made a similar mistake, I would get reamed for it too. ...or at least I'd better, I ask constantly if my stuff's fine for a reason guys.

So yeah. I would talk to Nachos, since he's the one in charge of this type of stuff, or both him and Elf. Have your sheet worked over. It'll benefit you in the long run, trust me.

Post by: The Man With All The Cute Boats on July 23, 2014, 01:41:08 PM
Nachos verdict:

Put ALL that fucking shit on your sheet, and seriously you shouldn't have hidden powers in the first fucking place. A sheet is supposed to inform people of what your characters can do, and at NO FUCKING POINT AT ALL is it okay to omit information on it.

You can update your sheet as your character's status changes (like, say, learning how to do something along the way, or becoming a vampire), but at no point should you hide abilities for later, that's just plain not fucking cool.

Other people were asked to specify what their magic could do because it was vague, though vague still means it was there, so they lost nothing. You outright hid shit because you felt like you could, so srsly:

You have a warning for metagaming due to purposefully leaving things out of your sheet. Another case of this and you're out.

You're also not allowed to post until you've updated your sheet, in full detail. There is NOTHING you "have yet to reveal", it's all there, and you're not playing until it is.

Hiding powers is definitely not a good thing, no, but he's already said he intends to fix that. No, he shouldn't have done it in the first place, but the sensible solution to that is for him to simply fix the sheet, not to try to force him to nerf his character because he made a mistake in thinking it was OK to leave things off the sheet.

Also, hiding powers is not in itself meta-gaming. It only becomes meta-gaming when you start actually using those powers. As long as he's not tried to use powers he hasn't told us about beforehand, I don't think you can call meta-gaming on it.

Post by: The Man With All The Cute Boats on July 23, 2014, 02:03:50 PM
The fact he willingly did it in the first place is what's wrong. This is an RP with other people, and a whole lot of people had very full, complete sheets before his was posted. He had no reason AT ALL to believe it was okay to hide stuff, he just suddenly decided it so.

OP characters are fine, we have Gil and Karna, but you can see Enuma Elish on Gil's sheet, it's not hidden away for later.

He had the clear intent of hiding away enough powers that they are classified as "A LOT", which is arguably worse when Minato already has a complete skillset (as in, the best personas and equipment he can have) and then the bullshit Kuro added because he thought he could. Yes, this is something I'll call metagaming on, but I'll let Nachomen handle this.

It's metagaming because he willingly gave in an incomplete sheet and had powers stowed away for "later", powers that were undefined and could damn well be whatever he could want them to be.

If it's not on the sheet and he pulls it out of nowhere in the middle of RPing, even if he does say "yeah my character's about to do this" beforehand, there is literally no reason to believe it's not a huge asspull.

Why?

BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE FUCKING SHEET.

Adding to that, the sheets have to be APPROVED before being allowed into play. Throwing in unapproved abilities and shit out of seemingly nowhere in the middle of the RP completely betrays that.

Profile updated.

Not done yet just giving a progress report.

NEW!
Time space dorm is being partially retconed. Partly because everyone else hated it, partly because I just like my travel method from 1.0 better. So it is now exclusively in Minato's district. The lengthening hallways and self furnishing rooms will stay, along with the treasure room and armory, the kitchen, and the basement. The moves between eight places and kaleidoscope space on the roof are being axed.

NEW!
Time space powers are being changed from vague can do whatever power into three definite powers with defined limits.

These powers are:
Dark Moment - Allows Minato to make time space hiccup for about half a second once per night. Eg. Make one second take half a second longer. Might disrupt some kinds of things, it's up to all of you if it does anything to your characters and their tricks or not.

Hall of Doors - Brings back my door travel method from 1.0...
that's it, that's all it does.

Shadow Vassal - This is the one I expect to be hearing about; So yeah Minato can now make exactly one shadow follow his commands. This has more limits than the other two:

1. Minato can only control shadows of the same arcana as him.
2. Minato can only give up to three simple commands to it, once given the orders cannot be changed or revoked.
3. Minato can only control one shadow, to control a new shadow the old one has to die.

NEW!
Some of the Inherent attributes have been added. The wild card ones will all have only one each, the three fixed ones were special for obvious reasons.

Now before people start complaining about me adding things to personae, most of the Inherent Attributes are useless or near useless in combat; The few that are will be either minor or have usage limits to prevent me from abusing them.

I will also note that I have made every effort to have the abilities fit the theme of the persona or the story they came from to some degree.

Remaining to-do:
Add revised dorm info.
Put Inherent attributes on the Personae that don't have any yet.
Add post arrival info to Minato's history.

Why is this even necessary? Making stuff that doesn't exactly fit for the dorm sort of makes sense. I have no idea what purpose this serves.

Post by: Kurogami on July 25, 2014, 05:28:46 AM
Why did I add this, or why can he do it?

I added it because I wanted to make one particular shadow my Minato's bitch, it put me Minato through a lot of suffering and it sort of amuses me to degrade it in such a way.

He can do it because, and I put this in the profile, Minato's soul absorbed part of Death; He gained roughly the same amount of inhumanity from Death as Death gained in Humanity from him, that is where all three of those powers come from.

It was the Guard Dog I mentioned in several posts in IC, taking it out would mean another retcon as well. If needed I will make a sheet for The Reaper and use up one of my character slots, I just would rather not if I don't have to.

It is one of the things that lets Minato keep such a large area relatively safe.

Right now I am just putting everything in, if there is anything I am totally banned from using I will just tag it as sealed in the profile.

That said I think I will be just making a profile for it after I am done with this to turn it from an NPC to a PC and make it easier to work with, though if that and the ability gets rejected then I will have no choice but to retcon it.

I don't like it, but if that is what I have to do then that is what I will do.

If I can avoid having to remove it in some way I would like to, but I have no major issue with removing it if a GM orders it.

Not even a big retcon if I do, just make some other throwaway NPC to serve the guard dog role I was alluding to, and pretend the "chinking of chains" foreshadowing was a coincidence and had no deeper meaning.

Though I might add that it does fit with his Messiah theme somewhat, by making The Reaper his guard dog he has "Conquered Death" in a fairly literal sense.

Though given that Minato was first approved with EX servant everything and nothing to make him unique, I think this is a vast improvement over what I started with, no matter how it turns out.

--Edit--

Going to sleep, will resume editing in the morning.

Right now I am just putting everything in, if there is anything I am totally banned from using I will just tag it as sealed in the profile.
Lantz tried that with the Rider arm.

You'll have to remove it entirely

Lantz never had to remove the Rider arm from Toshi's profile entirely, he just had to agree not to use it.

This isn't true. In fact, according to the edit history, before any edits, you had his stats as thus (notably you didn't specify what scale it was on either):

Strength:D (25)
Agility: C (30)
Speed: C (30)
Endurance: C (30)
Mana: B (40)
Luck: B (40)

He shouldn't have EX Servant stats. In everything. Nor should he have all these abilities that don't make sense with canon. And he certainly wasn't approved with those stats. This is very similar to what lantz pulled, and it's not good at all.

I'm not one of the GMs, but I would say that claiming that he was approved with stats that he wasn't really approved with, especially when your initial sheet lists different stats as very much so not a good thing.

I would expect you to have to change your sheet extensively, assuming you don't get kicked entirely for claiming what you just did. Granted, getting kicked is worst case scenario and I don't think it's terribly likely, but understand that what you did with Minato's sheet and then turning around and claiming that he got approved with those stats when he wasn't is really uncool.

Minato shouldn't have Servants stats. He shouldn't even have high-Mortal stats. The only Persona characters that should go into the Mortal A's are Kanji, Akihiko and P4A!Mitsuru. At no point outside gameplay (which is an incredibly weak source because, well, it's gameplay) does people with Personas, even with them activated, display physical ability even close to Servant level.

Again, Servant-E is about the same as 10 times that of a average fit human. No mortal character in Persona is close to that.

As for how Minato somehow got in with the stats he had in 1.0... I blame the GM'a unfamiliarity with the Series.

To be fair, Lorelei shouldn't have servant-level A-rank magic either, and the GM allowed that through.

Also, whilst the very first version of the sheet didn't specify the scale, the statement that it was on the servant scale was added only few minutes later, so I can't imagine it was approved on the basis of a misconception. The EX-rank stuff was added a bit later, though, so I'd have to check when he was approved to see if that was added afterwards.

*Edit* Yeah, it seems like the EX-rank stuff was edited in afterwards. I suspect that that is a genuine oversight on Kuro's part rather than any attempt to mislead us, though.

Why not? Lorelei is basically blasting people with extremely powerful basic spells. The extremely powerful is what makes it A rank.

It's more about it being EX rank (the scale was just a side note). The sheet wasn't approved with him having EX ranked Servant stats. It's a matter of realism. There's taking liberties and maybe stretching it a bit (Lorelei's magic rank would be this category), and then there's taking so many liberties and overpowering so much that suspension of disbelief is completely and utterly shattered (this is what lantz did regularly. Minato's sheet is looking to fall under this).

What makes it worse in this case is all this other stuff was there was never told to the GM. Whether Minato would have been approved with his full sheet or not is debatable, and caveats likely would have been applied if it was. There's a difference between having a few stats be dubious and having the whole sheet be dubious. That's the key difference here.

A-rank human, perhaps. A-rank servant means high-tier Age of the Gods magic, the sort that has only been possessed by a handful of people throughout history. Nasu made it perfectly clear that modern humans aren't on the level of ancient ones in terms of magic, I don't recall him saying "but Lorelei is an exception".

Lorelei's magic rank is more than "stretching it a bit", it is utterly ludicrous. And, the rest of her stats are pretty absurd as well. True, they're not as ridiculous as Minato being EX-rated for everything (although that might have been using EX in the sense of "we don't know"), but they're still pretty bad.

Yeah, I agree that adding the EX-rank stuff after approval was not remotely acceptable. The initial stats were approved, though, and those are still servant-level.

She isn't. In a battle of magic Medea vaporizes any modern magus. There is more to magic then the amount of firepower you have. Lorelei just has enough to blast everything to smithereens. Her firepower is what gets her A rank. She blows shit up good. There is also the thing where her spells approach True Magic.

But, it's not "prana level", it's "Magical Ability". If Medea would vaporise her, then she's not rank-A servant-level Magical Ability. And, even if you're going solely for the amount of prana she possesses and can use, I still can't imagine that she's servant rank A. Someone like Sakura or Rin (who are exceptional for modern magi) doesn't even reach servant levels, and servants like Saber have exceptional magical capacity and output.

And, honestly, I don't think even True Magic is servant rank A, because I would expect a servant of that rank to be able to do multiple things that we would call "True Magic".

It's not prana level. It's the amount of damage. Lorelei is a goddamn rocket launcher, but Medea can fire faster and has more flexibility with her spells. And True Magic would be A at least considering that Zel beat CM with the Second, and I doubt any magus with A rank magic could do that.

Actually True Magic would be EX, probably on the servant scale, because what you can do with it is ludicrous and completely outside the rules of the game to begin with.

Lets just put the examples out there:

Zelretch defeated one of the top 2-1 beings in the entire setting, someone who could literally destroy all life on earth with 5 limbs tied behind his back, using the Second Magic.

The Grail, which can reach the root and call long-dead heroes out of the universe's storage room for cool people, is a tiny, tiny bit of the Third Magic.

Aoko can literally reverse someone's death using timey-wimey shit and manipulates so much power in the process that Touko is afraid that reality can't handle it.

Lorelei approaches this level of power with kiddy-grade Magecraft. Let that process through your head for just a moment.

A-rank human, perhaps. A-rank servant means high-tier Age of the Gods magic, the sort that has only been possessed by a handful of people throughout history. Nasu made it perfectly clear that modern humans aren't on the level of ancient ones in terms of magic, I don't recall him saying "but Lorelei is an exception".

Age of Gods Magecraft isn't supreme, however, we've seen that already. Zero Caster's Noble Phantasm, which is literally just a strong spellbook, can lolnope Age of Gods Magecraft by overpowering it with more prana.

Prana < More Prana is a universal rule, whether not you got old cool shit or not doesn't make it different.

Also someone can easily have A-rank Servant Magecraft in canon and not have it be "AoG Speshul" shit. Avicebron has B-rank Magecraft (Numerology). I repeat, a 12th century Magus can almost reach the same level as "high-tier AoG Magecraft". And that's without mentioning that he can build Adam, a Golem that would steamroll 3 Medeas.

Anyway I'm not having this stupid argument again. You can believe what you will but it's not influencing my sheet.

Minus the part where Lorelei's powerlevels are about as accurate as you can make them based on what little we know of her. And I'm not gonna hear that from someone who believes Sakura honestly stands an an astronomical chance against Ciel.

Lorelei fights DAA, AKA the 27 Scariest as all fuck people still around, when they're at their strongest and wins without issue. Those same DAA are so strong that most of them can only be defeated by Excalibur/Gae Bolg tier bullshit. And she does this for sport.

Also I really don't particularly criticize the stats. His sheet as a whole is a mess of bullshit with more faults than a 5$ Romanian alleyway hooker with crabs, and the stats are just the tip of the really large iceberg there.

I don't really care about the stats. I care about how Kuro's skills makes no sense considering P3. I'm not even getting into the fact that he can perform a miracle once per day, but the Shadow Vassal fits nowhere in P3's canon. Larger shadows attract other shadows. Then they merge into bigger shadows that attract more shadows. Only shadows can control shadows. Minato is not a shadow, and if he only got the powers once he made it to Nexus I have no clue when he even got the Reaper. IIRC it is only in Tartarus so Minato would never get the chance to control it in the first place.

Magical ability is an impossible thing to judge with servant stats.

Because Emiya has a magecraft skill and all it says he has basic understanding of fundemental magecraft. It does not go to the same scale as physical stats, mana and luck.

The reason Medea is better then any modern magus is because her AoG magecraft with HSDW has a impossibly high affinity vs modern shit, it has more mystery and simply wins out because of it. Also she can deconstruct A-rank spells but I would assume that lends itself to the previous point.

Saying something has "A+ Servant rank magical ability" is completely hollow as shit. Because that could mean nothing. In a battle of magecraft it is about affinity and mystery rather then power.

Also I would just put Lorelei at A-rank just to shut up concern about it. It still really fucking high.

Well, I interpret it as "mortal standard means something that a modern magus could be expected to reach, whereas servant standard is something that is only really possible for supernatural beings like servants". Hence why I feel that Lorelei having such a high rank is rather absurd. Possibly it is a matter of the definition being poor, but I certainly don't think Lorelei is amongst the most powerful magic users ever to exist, even if she is clearly the most powerful alive now.

For example, I put Sakura's Magical Energy stat at A++ mortal (or something like that), even though she has a connection that means she likely has a higher prana supply rate than any modern magus (probably even Lorelei). Of course, she can't use it anything like as effectively (and can't use as much in one go), but her actual mana supply is exceptional.

As a quick note. Medea herself does not have a rank in Magecraft. Because what she does is not modern magecraft which is what the skill means.

She uses HSDW, which by its very nature makes her superior to all modern magi. She simply speaks and an effect actualizes.

It is something that modern humans cannot do anymore, its mystery far outstrips modern shit, hell its mystery is probably on the level of true magic because of how old it is.

Medea is not a standard you should hold to anyone about level of magecraft. Because what she does is something so impossibly far from modern magecraft it simply resembles it in result.

Hell, even other casters that don't have HSDW would be hard pressed to be even close to Medea on mystery, because HSDW is better. That's all it is.

Yes, hence why she has a servant level stat in it, whereas modern magi have human level stats. Saying "a modern magus can't reach that level" is kind-of missing the point of the servant/mortal stat distinction. Yes, I know a modern magus can't reach that level, which is why we have servant-level stats in order to rank those who can.

EMIYA is a very modern magus, is pretty garbage at magecraft, and has C- Servant Magecraft.

Lorelei is a modern magus with an Age of Gods bloodline, super special Barthomeloi-only circuits who pimpsmacks DAA with Magecraft, and according to you that doesn't even reach Servant level.

The problem with that is that it makes mortal magecraft ranks completely useless. Basic common sense and logic means that average magecraft means average for a human magus, not average for a human full stop.

Post by: YOLF on July 25, 2014, 04:32:40 PM
Honestly, I just think two scales for Magic Ability is redundant. Not only because it is a subjective enough thing that it always requires a detailed explanation anyways (since not everyone has magic and those that do vary significantly), but because having two scales invites confusion and stupid arguments like this.

An example of the way I would see it: Rin would have A magic ability, because within the magic system she uses (modern Magecraft) she is good enough overall to qualify as a top user in every way that counts. But Medea would also have A or A+ because within her magic system (High Speed Divine Words and Age Of The Gods Magecraft), she is also that powerful.

Yet Medea is a more powerful magic user than Rin because they way they use magecraft is inherently different. There are things Medea can do that Rin simply cannot. Just as there are things... say, Uchiten can do, that Dunkelzahn can not and vice-versa (because of one being an original character with a loose and powerful magic system, and the other from an existing setting that also has very powerful magic with unique uses, but also very strict limits).

Now, this kind of difference is something that has to be specified in the explanation of the character's magic ability following the rank. And that's a thing that already benefits from detail, so it's not really as hard as that.

I think ranking it based on the system makes sense, yes, but in that case it shouldn't be treated as a base stat, because base stats are common to all characters and directly comparable between them, whereas what you're suggesting isn't. I would say that Magical Ability should be removed from the stat list entirely, and then added by the player if their character actually possesses some form of magic, with a proper explanation (which is not expected for stats) of what exactly it means.

No, I am more saying that with the RP system the distinction between human scales and servant scales for magical ability is pointless.

Because average humans, which is the compairison point for the human scale, do not have magic, making the human scale pointless.

What bothers me the most about the Magic Ability stat right now is that even with two scales that should allow us to say "my character is stronger than yours" straight off, we're having arguments about it anyways.

Part of this is because Magic Ability is a subjective thing to begin with, especially when characters are hyper specialized like EMIYA, but also because it's a hard thing to place in a scale that tries to be objective when it includes far too many variations.

So I'd rather it be more subjective than arbitrarily try to make it about objective comparisons.

Ok so without actually reading any posts from after I got off, I have decided not to wait on the GM for this and take out Shadow Vassal.

----

Having gone back and looked through the posts now, there are only two other things I need to say.

First is to Alice, I think those stats you posted were Minato's base stats before Persona and equipment boosts; When all the bonuses were added all his stats were over 200 IIRC. Yeah I just checked my original copy, the persona stats were a passive bonus added to his base stats, plus his equipment provided rankups and multipliers; The end result was a lot of EX's. Which was the dumbest kind of mistake for me to make.

Second is about the once a day miracle. It is not as impressive as it sounds. But I think I will narrow his range of choices to "miracles attributed to the messiah" since it is an ability of Messiah. That was what I was intending to do anyway, I just did not get around to it last night.

I actually agree on Lorelei being as powerful as she is, if she does not make every other modern mage look like a complete joke, something is being done wrong.

Whatever, nobody reply to that last post. I will be getting back to work now.

That is the worst of it I think, and I even went and took out something I had no plans to for the sake of peace.

That being said, once I have added the rest of the inherent attributes that will be it as far as Skill addons are concerned.

After that is dorm description and post arrival history up to the game start, then I'm done.

With Jenn's approval Tokiomi has been relegated to a NPC so for those that want to use him for character development are free to use him. I will be happy to play him for you if you want it to happen. However I will not be actively playing him. It would be greatly appreciated if you do not just kill him off randomly so people who want to interact with him are able to.

I was just not enjoying him like I originally thought and did with the first couple of posts.

Post by: Kurogami on August 01, 2014, 06:15:03 AM
Okay so update, if you are wondering why it took so long, that is because I suddenly caught myself picking things off my list I did not really want to use because I thought it would make people less angry at me than everything else. I very nearly quit the game when I realized this. Instead I took several days off and reevaluated. So here it is.

Surt gives a fire barrier that keeps shit out and burns it if it comes in anyway; As a trade off Minato can't fight or leave the barrier and once it goes down it starts it's three day recharge timer.

Skadi gives ice control that can't make new ice, gets weaker the closer he gets to the ocean, and is useless against anything more durable or better at dodging than the local canon fodder.

Odin gives Sleipnir Motorcycle. Because Fucking Sleipnir Motorcycle.

Oh yeah I was going to give a summary of why I am adding all this stuff to the personas.

It is a trade off I made with myself for using the base stats and move lists instead of my fully customized personas that I grinded up to max level and loaded up with incense cards.

It was also an excuse to use a bit of my immensely meager writing ability to come up with something interesting that fits with either the theme or the legend/myth/story that the persona comes from.

So there you go, have at it; rip out my throat, tear out my liver, cut out my heart; I have little hope left of mercy, well I have little hope left period.

--EDIT--

Please ignore that last part, I have just gotten past the worst two weeks of my life and there is more to come. Please forgive my foolishness.

Working on it right now, I had some problems earlier but I will try to have it done in the next couple of days.

I will be updating here on my progress at least twice daily from here on.

If nothing else happens to wreck my newly regained motivation, I should finish this weekend.

Though is there anything stopping you from going through things up till breakfast on day two?

I am fairly sure you are several posts away from that and that is where Minato is, even when I get back in (being optimistic) I won't be able to post anything till you both get to day two where Minato will be still.

One thing that sort of okay, bugs me about the Persona Protag is the whole Door thing with Nexus.  Considering some of the people who live there like Wynn and Gabriel, it would have been discovered and used a long time ago. Part of what makes the Nexus the Nexus is that once someone is brought here, they can't leave.

Post by: Kurogami on August 02, 2014, 11:31:23 PM
Hmm, let me see if I can fix those problems...

--15 Minutes Later--

OK, I think I've got something;

"Use of the doors are a phenomena limited to humans, although use by former humans and part humans is possible as long as they retain humanity. Former humans who have lost their humanity and part humans who have ceased to be human at all will be unable to access the doors even if they were previously able to. Beings that are fully inhuman from the start are entirely incompatible with the doors."

and also;

"After arriving in the nexus, most of the doors that lead to places that are not part of the city became sealed, and have not opened since."

Will that make it work better?

Norn ability done, this took awhile because it was hard to come up with an ability for an amalgamation of three goddesses of fate that was not utterly broken. The result is an limited Eye of the mind ripoff that kills him if he overuses it.

It might very well be. I wrote it up expecting a rather high chance of it being turned down. Oh well. If the Grey Knight Terminator gets in, he gets in. If he doesn't, he doesn't.

 I was in the mood for typing up a super character anyways; wanted something more than mortals or moderate strength character. Someone that could talk and communicate as well, and without it being linked to Azmortchal'um, either. High "Magic" ability and usage (To the point that it sees continuous use) was a plus.

It's fine.

In a setting where Elves and Orks ('Oo 'dis Tolkien Guy?) are aliens, the Orks themselves shape reality because a whole bunch of them believe in something extremely idiotic, FTL is done by opening a portal into Hell and crossing your fingers that the barriers would hold, Magic is done by people called Psykers, Priests wield plasmaguns, the Knights wear power armor instead of plate (Space Marines in general), and Vampiric Angels and Werewolf Vikings fight side-by-side, it is difficult to decide what would be allowed and what wouldn't.

I'm leaving it up to Elf whether or not we'll see a Grey Knight Terminator order coffee in Nexus City.

Before I make the character, I'm curious what do you think about this concept:

Gregor “The Bear” Piznewski
Features: Homoeroticism Equals Secret Power, Strippers Make the Bestest Characters Ever, The Trenchcoat of Hotness and Holding

This guy’s awesome. Let’s picture it together: red lights, some sexy thump-thumpin’ club music, a gleaming golden pole. Out on the stage strolls a big lumbering barrel of a dude. He’s got mutton chops on his face you just want to eat with a little barbecue sauce, but that ain’t nothing compared to the swishing shadow that is his totally excellent black-as night trenchcoat. He whirls around. He pulls out fistfuls of candies and throws them to his adoring audience. He lets them stuff fat wads of cash into it—and since it holds a near endless supply of stuff, that trenchcoat can take a heckuva lot of green. Then! Pow! He whips the trenchcoat off and it’s him in his hairy, undulatingglory—his audience, composed largely of oiled-up dudes, bow and worship and jabber prayers to him, and The Bear can feel his secret power growing. It pulses within. So when the Somalian vampire pirates break down the door and come in, AK-47s chattering, The Bear knows it’s on. He channels his Numen (Telekinesis!) and with his mind withdraws a Kawasaki motorbike out of his trenchcoat. He leaps atopit, revs its engine, and lurches the bike forward into the throng of attacking blood-hungry pirates. Freeze frame. Heavy metal chord. Yes.

Why would a space marine be allowed if Jar Jar is not?

Because as a die hard Star Wars fan who claims that the prequels are not part of actual canon, Jar Jar was part of my loathing for the Prequels.

I was hoping for Jar Jar to die in each movie, but he didn't.  He annoyed the piss out of me, and not to mention he is a touch offensive.

And I loved "Aliens".

GM Ruling Time!

So, talking to the group I've decided to implement the 24 Hour Rule.

What this means is, after we've waited for Mooncake for over 24 hours (the second time none the less), we're going to move ahead.

Now, what this means for the plot is that Wynn, Henry, and some of the others overruled poor Forest's "Kindly sod off" to Vlad and let the Impaler take the Elemental home with him to be his Forever Pet/Bitch.

There has now been a sort of a time skip for those who want it after Vlad leaves with Lucas (I know Puck-Chan and I wanted it).  Now, those who don't want the time skip can proceed if they want how they want.

And that has been my ruling.

Don't worry about it, IRL comes first. :) You're fine. Besides, gives me more time to respond with my post.

...Speaking of which, I need to get on with that. If not with Revya, at least with the multitude of other characters I need to post with.

Hey Kuro not to be rude but you've been keeping mike and myself waiting for long over a month now, at this point you gotta give us something or we will have to improvise.

Yeah, I kinda just got back from not having any kind of reliable internet access for a week, sorry. That said neither of you have caught up with me on day two breakfast so I still have nothing to do yet. I have nothing to contribute where you two are now.

Profile wise I got stuck on Michael, everything about him is broken as fuck, so it gets kinda difficult to fabricate a skill related to him in any way that is not also broken. I am close to just giving up and puting in something generic but my pride is holding me back...

Wait I may have thought of something.

He's not allowed to post until his profile is 100% finished, and re-GM approved.

It's a GM demand.

While I'm not a GM, I do have something to say on that. Kuro, Minato shouldn't need that much.... stuff. I can't say for sure what Nachos is going to have you change, because obviously I'm not him, but suffice to say I have a feeling a lot of stuff is going to be stripped. And Mil and Mike are waiting for you for awhile, to the point where I'd safely recommend they move on without you at this point. I would honestly start thinking about what's really necessary vs what you're just adding for the sake of Minato having cool things.

I may just cut out a persona or two entirely, for now I am just trying to get all the skills and history put up, then I will start removing things that I look at and don't think I will get use out of.

On which note Michael will be the first to go.

--Edit--

And gone, decided not to wait after I decided to take him out.

Ah, okay. Considering that may still take awhile though, I might just suggest that Mil and Mike go on without you for a bit with the 24 hour rule in mind.

Speaking of posting, I finally posted! I still need to post with Revya, but for some reason I feel a bit stuck with her. Hopefully I'll have her post up soon enough. But everyone else should be accounted for. Quality feels a bit... iffy, this time, considering I was still kinda knackered when I wrote those, so if there's anything in terms of stuff I need to fix, please let me know.

Yes, but we're giving him the opportunity rather than just continuing anyway (which causes problems for us as well). I'm currently waiting for Arch anyway (although, honestly, if he doesn't hurry up I probably will just move on, since I really don't care what the Hunter has to say in response).

Argh, why is it so challenging to write this? I mean, I considered a "temporarily able to fly via ryu/long orb" thing for Lyco Aptera, but still.
About the only reaction I can really consider for Lyco Aptera is kind of like a beginner swimmer stepping in and/or out of water that feels too hot/cold.

(Also I have officially joined the MtG fandom: bought my first deck, my first deck holder, and a few misc. cards of various rarities.)

Ok, Arch (and Kuro, for that matter), I'm really going to have to move on now. I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to making a post, but when I do I'm just going to have to assume the Hunter is gone and, most likely, also leave the complex to find someone who is not blocked from RPing....

Done with the sheet? Good! Minato's unapproved.

The sheet in question:
Name: Arisato Minato

Race: Ascended Human

Age: 17 (Physically - Aging has Ceased)

Height: 170 cm
Eyes: Grey
Hair: Blue

(http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120401111925/megamitensei/images/2/21/P3_Protagonist_render.png)

Alignment: Variable Neutral

Base Stats

On the Servant Scale
 
Strength: X
Agility: X
Speed: X
Endurance: X
Mana: X
Luck: X

Magic Resistance:
The equipment grants strong resistances to everything, further enhanced by the persona though the effect Varies according to the one currently equipped.

Magic Ability:
Fire, Ice, Wind, Electric, Light, Dark, Almighty, Powerful fusion Spells, and other spells of various types are made available through persona.

General Magic Ranking
Agi- C
Maragi- D
Agilao- A
Maragilao- B
Agidyne- A++
Maragidyne- A+
Ragnarok- EX

Special Ability:

PERSONA
A Persona is a manifestation of a person's personality, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship. A Persona is similar to a Shadow. Shadows are malevolent manifestations of ones inner thoughts, while a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained. A Persona grants numerous benefits to it's user, a few of which are actually useful outside of battle.

As a side note, as a persona is a manifestation of the user's psyche, a change in the persona is effectively a change in the user's personality, to a greater or lesser extent.

The user's base stats are equal to the equipped Persona's listed stats. The evoked Persona has double the listed stats. The effects of skills take precedence over innate resistances.

The Inherent attributes are unique traits particular to a single Persona granted to it's user while equipped.

Messiah
Arcana: Judgement

Str: 63
Mgi: 62
End: 60
Agi: 62
Lck: 63

Innate

Resist:Fire/Ice/Electric/Wind
Block:None
Absorb:None
Reflect:Light
Weak:Dark

Inherent Attribute:

Living Messiah
The attribute possessed by a messiah that allows for the performance of miracles. Though this is seen as an amazing thing it is considered very troublesome by it's owner due to it's limitations; It allows the user to normally perform only one miracle once per day, and he is only able to perform "Miracles attributed to the messiah". The more well known the miracle is the more easily and effectively it can be performed. As such "Walking on water" and "Making water into wine" can be performed freely after being used once but "Forcibly ending magic based flight" and "Healing any ailment" is limited to a single use.

Messianic Presence
The presence held by all those who can be called Messiah. Those of strong evil alignment will feel irrational fear, and those of good alignment feel comfort or safety. Those seeking redemption and those who wish for salvation are drawn to him. Those of Judeo-Christian faith or origin will recognize the holder of this skill as a messiah immediately. As a side effect however, the user may find that the amplified authoritativeness that comes along with this causes one to dominate social situations without noticing. This skill also affects the user.

Passive Skills:

Regenerate 3
Heals a bit of HP every turn.

Invigorate 3
Restores a bit of SP every turn

Absorb Pierce
Absorb Pierce Attacks

Enduring Soul
Restores all HP upon death once per battle

Active Skills:

Megidolaon
Inflicts Severe Almighty Damage upon a wide area.

God's Hand
Inflict Severe Strike Damage upon one enemy.

Salvation
Removes Status ailments and fully restores party HP.


Thanatos
Arcana: Death

Str: 48
Mgi: 51
End: 44
Agi: 44
Lck: 39

Innate

Resist: Slash/Strike
Block: None
Absorb: None
Reflect: Dark
Weak: Light

Inherent Attribute:

Soul Appraise
Simply put the ability to see souls. It only allows for perception of the shape and structure; Things like seeing memories or a person's deepest nature is eternally beyond him, but damage from spiritual attacks and concepts can be visualized. It need not be said that spiritual existences that are normally invisible will also be revealed.

Last Peace
The attribute of Thanatos as the bringer of death without suffering; Blows struck will cause the targets sense of pain to degrade, a mortal wound cutting the sense off entirely. This can be seen as the single mercy granted by the god of death, an end without pain.

Passive Skills:

1hd Sword Master
Increases Damage inflicted with one handed swords

Active Skills:

Megidola
Inflicts heavy Almighty Damage over a wide area.

Tempest Slash
Inflicts heavy multiple slash damage upon one enemy.

Ghastly Wail
Instantly destroys all enemies with Fear mental ailment

Mahamaon
Banishes all enemies with the power of light (Med)

Brave Blade
Inflict heavy slash damage upon one enemy.


Orpheus Telos
Arcana: Fool

Str: 75
Mgi: 72
End: 72
Agi: 72
Lck: 72

Innate

Resist: All
Block: None
Absorb: None
Reflect: None
Weak: None

Inherent Attribute:

Master of Strings
A fitting ability for the persona Orpheus, this skill increases one's aptitude with stringed instruments. It's effectiveness is based on the degree of skill one already possesses with an instrument; One will become barely passable with an instrument one has little experience or talent with, but with an instrument that one has natural talent and many of practice with one could even compare to the greatness of the original, though they would never quite equal him.

True Zero
The ultimate ability of something that stands at the pinnacle of the fool arcana. As it possesses no original ability of it's own, it can acquire any skill it's owner wishes to. There are three limitations that exist on this originally almighty ability due to the interference of the nexus.

1. Only one skill may be recreated using this skill at any time; If a new skill is acquired, the currently held skill is lost.
2. In order to learn a skill, either Orpheus Telos or Minato equipped with Orpheus Telos must experience the skill and endure it; Ex. To learn a fire spell he has to be hit by it and remain conscious while Orpheus Telos is equipped.
3. A skill can only be recreated to the degree that it was experienced; Ex. Minato learns a fire spell by being hit with a fireball, and sees the same spell used later by the same person to create a torrent of flame that fills a room, Minato will still only be able to create a fireball.

Due to the limitations introduced by the nexus this is close to being the least used ability available to Minato, but it is possible that it may become useful in some nebulous future.


Passive Skills:

Victory Cry
Fully restores HP and SP after battle.

Active Skills:



Wild Card- The Universe
The power to wield many Persona, even changing between them mid battle. Unlike the three Persona Orpheus Telos, Thanatos, and Messiah, which are fixed, wild card Persona can be gained, lost, combined, and replaced depending on the circumstances. Normally The Universe would allow the user to use any Persona they wished, but the unusual nature of the nexus has limited his available Persona to twelve in total.

Surt
Arcana: Magician

Str: 40
Mgi: 49
End: 35
Agi: 26
Lck: 32

Innate

Resist: None
Block: None
Absorb: Fire
Reflect: None
Weak: Ice

Inherent Attribute:

Border of Muspell
A high level boundary skill only usable with Surt equipped. An effect based on the simple idea of "Keep out what does not belong". It creates a ring of fire around a set area, and only what is defined as belonging there by the owner of the space can exist there. Anything within the field that does not belong is immolated mercilessly by the flames of Muspell. The user of the skill is not excluded from this effect. Only eldjottuns and high ranking fire elementals are entirely immune to the effect of the boundary; But beings with similar levels of fire resistance can pass through with minor discomfort, and in theory a being with the concept of "Owning Everything" could ignore the boundary and pass through due to superior quality of ownership.

There are a number of limits that make it unwise to use this skill without heavy deliberation before hand. There is no limit to the time that the boundary can be maintained other than the user's endurance, however once the boundary is released it cannot be activated again for three days. The size of the boundary also affects the energy consumption. The user must remain within the boundary at all times to maintain it. The user cannot evoke or take any combat actions while the boundary is active due to the drain of keeping the boundary up. If the user dies or loses consciousness, the boundary will drop.

Passive Skills:

Fire Boost
Strengthens Fire attacks by 25%

Fire Amp
Strengthens Fire attacks by 50%

Active Skills:

Agidyne
Inflicts heavy Fire damage to one foe

Deathbound
Deals heavy Slash damage to enemies in a wide area

Maragidyne
Deals heavy Fire damage over a wide area

Ragnarok
Deals severe Fire damage to one foe

Skadi
Arcana: Empress

Str: 48
Mgi: 57
End: 47
Agi: 45
Lck: 50

Innate

Resist: None
Block: None
Absorb: Ice
Reflect: None
Weak: Fire

Inherent Attribute:

Ruler of the Mountain Snows
A skill that allows one to control and reshape existing ice and snow to a limited extent. As a consequence sheets of ice will never break no mater how thin and snow will never give way no matter how deep; As the user controls the ice subconsciously to prevent it. Due to the nature of the Persona, this skill grows stronger based on ones altitude; And will weaken as one grows closer to the sea, being rendered useless in the sea itself. The skill is entirely ineffective against salt water ice as a consequence. In the Nexus this skill is very useful against werewolves during the winter when it snows, but fails to do much against most things with any level of skill or endurance greater than the average werewolf.

Passive Skills:

Ice Amp
Greatly Strengthens Ice attacks.

Absorb Fire
Absorbs Fire damage

Active Skills:

Mabufudyne
Deals heavy Ice Damage/Freezes a wide area

Tetrakarn
Physical Damage Reflection Barrier

Akasha Arts
Deals Heavy Strike damage to all foes in range

Niflheim
Deals severe Ice damage to one foe


Odin
Arcana: Emperor

Str: 39
Mgi: 52
End: 33
Agi: 36
Lck: 39

Innate

Resist: None
Block: None
Absorb: Elec
Reflect: None
Weak: Wind

Inherent Attribute:

Sleipnir
The right given by Odin to call forth the God Beast Sleipnir. In legend it took the form of an eight legged horse, but it's true nature is to be "The greatest of all steeds"; As such it will always take a form that allows it to fulfill that role. Here in the Nexus, or perhaps simply in the modern age, Sleipnir takes the form of an enormous motorcycle; The entire body seemingly made from a single chunk of steel rendered in the image of the beast of legend, the engine that roars like a raging beast and spews out violet lightning, and the wheels that shatter concrete that ride upon the sea and the air.

Although Minato is able to ride the Sleipnir at abnormally high speeds, he is unable to keep up in the air for very long and cannot perform combat actions in the air at all.

Passive Skills:

Elec Amp
Greatly increases damage output of Elec spells

Spell Master
Halves SP consumption for magic skills

Active Skills:

Ziodyne
Inflicts a large amount of Electricity damage/stuns one enemy

Vile Assault
Inflicts a large amount of Pierce damage with even greater power if the target is knocked down

Maziodyne
Inflicts a large amount of Electricity damage/shocks a wide area

Thunder Reign
Inflicts severe Elec damage on one enemy always inflicts stun


Norn
Arcana: Fortune

Str: 40
Mgi: 54
End: 32
Agi: 46
Lck: 44

Innate

Resist: None
Block: None
Absorb: Wind
Reflect: None
Weak: Elec

Inherent Attribute:

Bonds of Fate
The ability granted by the Norns is to perceive the links between cause and effect. This when combined with analysis and experience allows for accurate prediction of the immediate future in short bursts. It is extremely dangerous to use repeatedly or continuously as doing so puts a significant strain on the user's brain. As it is now, Minato is able to use it for up to thirty seconds continuously, and for around five minutes over a twenty four hour period without permanent damage.

Passive Skills:

Wind Amp
Greatly increases Wind damage

Regenerate 3
Restores 15% HP at the start of each turn

Invigorate 3
Restores 7 SP at the start of each turn

Absorb Elec
Absorb Elec attacks

Active Skills:

Magarudyne
Inflicts a large amount of Wind damage over a wide area

Panta Rhei
Inflicts a massive amount of Wind damage to one enemy


Alice
Arcana: Death

Str: 31
Mgi: 50
End: 27
Agi: 42
Lck: 39

Innate

Resist: None
Block: None
Absorb: None
Reflect: Dark
Weak: Light

Inherent Attribute:

Delusional Wonderland
The Ability of Alice which allows Minato to release a delusion into the world. The skill is activated by Minato, who designates an enclosed space as Wonderland; Within this space Alice manifests as a semi-physical hallucination. The degree to which she is able to affect the environment and those in it is determined by the number of individuals who have observed her since the activation of Wonderland.

Initially, Delusional Alice is visible to no individuals other than Minato. Upon being visually confirmed by Minato, Delusional Alice becomes visible to others. Delusional Alice gains full ability to physically interact with her environment with five observers, and at ten she is able to rewrite her surroundings to some extent. Any changes wrought by Delusional Alice are reverted when the skill is ended. It should be understood that Delusional Alice and the Persona Alice do not possess the same abilities, nor are they bound by the same rules; Delusional Alice is not bound to follow Minato's orders as the Persona Alice is, but is also unable to use any of the Persona Alice's skills. Minato is unable to access the Persona Alice while Delusional Wonderland is active.

Delusional Wonderland is bound by three rules, the violation of any of which will cause the skill to immediately end.

1. Wonderland can only exist indoors.
2. Alice cannot ever leave Wonderland.
3. At least one individual who has observed Alice must remain in Wonderland at all times.

Inherent Attribute:

Specialized Spirit Arts
The Skill granted by the Daisoujou is to wield some of it's power in the original form. This includes focusing Minato's spiritual power for use and also amplifying it to some minor degree; But primarily comes in the form of the knowledge of the Daisoujou's highly customized techniques and rituals, formed from not just Buddhist teachings but also a containing great deal of knowledge from Shinto; Several of the techniques even seem to be deliberate expansions of known Onmyo techniques. Due to some degree of spiritual incompatibility, as well as the over personalized nature of the techniques, Minato is unable to make use of any of the powerful high level skills. He is however able to use low and mid level skills with efficiency and power comparable to a master.

Inherent Attribute:

The Deceiver
The skill granted by Satan is simply the ability to deceive; With it Minato is able to obscure or falsify the level of power he has and lie in such a way that those well versed in detecting falsehoods, even machines designed to do so will be unable to see it for the deceit that it is. It is the voice of the great deceiver, the adversary of humanity, and as such is nigh infallible against a human lacking divine protection; It's effectiveness wanes against those who are dissimilar in mentality to humans, and anyone who has seen through his deceit once will not be affected a second time.

Weak: Ice

Inherent Attribute:

Lord of Chaos
The attribute of Lucifer is one that constantly acts to increase the amount of chaos in the world. This is accomplished by a passive system that generates mental, spiritual, and physical interference to lower the influence of Law in all of it's forms. People in it's range will be more impulsive and less likely to consider things like the law or morality. Thaumaturgy and similar practices become both stronger and easier to use as natural laws become weaker, less enforced. The effect becomes far more pronounced if Lucifer is evoked, causing localized disruptions in the fabric of reality through sheer presence.

Passive Skills:

Reflect: None
Weak: Ice

Inherent Attribute:

Defiance of Law
If Lucifer's ability can be called "Something that frees others from the bindings of Law" then Helel's is one that "Claims freedom for oneself". It is a conceptual effect targeting only the user's body that unconditionally reduces the effect of processes that rely on or are based off of a form of law. At the same time, processes that defy or circumvent Law in some way will have an exaggerated effect on him. That is to say that a backstab will always be a critical hit but he gets a defense bonus against someone with a stringent code of honor facing him head on. Thaumaturgy will inflict more damage but Authorities will be reduced in effect. Things like True Magic which are both Laws and Violations at once cannot be handled by this skill.

Inherent Attribute
The unique capability that is granted to a persona user by their persona. This ability is inherent in all personae. Normally a persona will only possess one inherent attribute, but certain special personae will possess two; A persona that has undergone an evolution will retain the ability from it's previous form, in addition to it's new one. Because of the nature of inherent attributes a normal persona user will only ever have access to one or two of these abilities. It is the users of the Wild Card who are able to truly take advantage of the different abilities granted by persona.

Fusion Spells
The highest form of power, attained by unleashing two compatible Persona at once.

Armageddon
The End, ultimate power which obliterates all in it's path. The form it takes varies according to the user's will. Armageddon reveals the last Truth, that in the end all things will become as nothing once more. The true form of this spell is an unstoppable wave of destruction which leaves only the azure star of mourning to witness what remains. The immense strain involved in using this Spell in particular makes more than a single use per day entirely impossible.

Other Abilities:

Charm- A+
A measure of ones attractiveness, both in speech and appearance. At this level the effect can be mistaken for a magical compulsion. Grants a bonus to persuasion, and at ranks higher than B also provides a bonus to Charisma.

Courage- A+
The measure of ones ability to overcome fear and face dangers to ones life.
At this level the impossible is made possible through sheer force of will, one can only be called a badass; Even the eldritch horror that is Fuuka's cooking can be faced without flinching.

Academics- A+
A measure of the knowledge one has accumulated. Higher ranks allow for broader and deeper knowledge, as well as understanding of more obscure subjects. At this level one can be called a genius whose knowledge has exceeded what can be gained merely through study, possessing a deep understanding in a large number of subjects.

Mind of the Universe
The presence of a vast number of Persona has the side effect of rendering mental intrusion by beings with minds less vast than an elder god unwise...

Knockdowns
Not always in the form of actually being knocked down, Minato will always have an adverse reaction to proximity to or contact with his current weakness, the effects can range from general discomfort to massive damage or unfathomable agony. Constant damage from a weakness may prevent Minato from switching Persona until the damage ceases.

Immune and Absorb
In a similar manner to his weaknesses, his immunities are enforced on a conceptual level. That is to say that an attack of the Fire element regardless of it's power or direction will never harm Minato while he is immune. Absorb should be obvious, things that should hurt heal instead, but only when the right Persona is equipped.

Social Link
The true source of Arisato Minato's power, simply put is bonds between others. This manifests quite strongly in Minato's case as The Universe, a power no one had possessed before and no one has since. Due to Minato being complete as an entity, the flow of the links have changed and now grows, stabilizes, and evolves the potential of those he is linked to. This can manifest as growth of existing abilities, development of new ones, or even gaining access to abilities that were previously out of reach. All that can be said for certain is that the growth will always be beneficial in some way, and that it's effect grows as the link does.

Inhuman Soul
Having once hosted a portion of Death in his soul, Minato's soul is no longer entirely that of a human. Even as part of Minato's soul and humanity bled into Death allowing it to later become Mochizuki Ryoji, an equal amount of the inhuman essence of Death was merged with Minato's soul. The result of this did not make itself known until after Minato arrived in Nexus City, solidifying into two distinct skills each with its' own weaknesses and limitations; Lesser forms of the power from which they originate.

Dark Moment
Only at night once per night, Minato is able to disrupt the flow of time momentarily to produce a lag in local space time. Such a thing is entirely useless in most cases, but it may be able to disrupt certain types of effects...

Were Minato willing this skill could in theory be used to institute a Dark Hour, but the energy requirement for such a feat would be beyond astronomical, it is not an amount that could be gathered on one's own even with a thousand years.

Hall of Doors
The ability to see and use doors that lead into the hall of doors. It is just as the name would imply, a virtually infinite hallway with a multitude of doors to many places in and out of the city. This is technically something any human with the right mentality could access, but the only user in the city at this moment is Minato. Though the number of doors in the city indicate that there were users in the city before Minato's arrival.

A user of the Doors is able to bring others through the hallway as well, most will find themselves unable to perceive the doors afterwards; A few however may gain the ability to use the doors themselves. It is impossible for even Minato to perceive the doors during high tension scenes like battles.

A Door user is able to create new doors through exertion of will, but once created the door can never be destroyed, even by the one who created it. Also it should be understood that one must actually physically go to a place if they wish create a Door there.

After arriving in the Nexus, all of the doors leading to anywhere outside of it vanished.

Equipment:

Holy Grail Lucifer
The Holy Grail, forged of the Jewels taken from the Crown of the Fallen Angel Lucifer. Used as a weapon, the divine light within the grail forms into a blade by the user's will. Though it is not primarily a weapon by nature, it should not be underestimated. As a divine relic it exceeds even supreme holy objects such as Lancea Longini or Excalibur, though as a weapon it is exceeded in killing ability by the god killing lance, and is not suited to comparison against the anti fortress Excalibur.

Armor of Light
A set of pentacle engraved armor made from divine light. Provides a large bonus to both physical and magic resistance as well as boosting END. It is generally invisible but Minato can choose to reveal it.

Shoes of Light
A pair of pentacle engraved shoes made from divine light. Provides a large bonus to evasion as well as boosting SPD and AGI. It is generally invisible but Minato can choose to reveal it.

Mp3 Player
A supreme divine relic that grants the user an authority - changing the BGM...
But really, it's just an mp3 player, a really cool one with custom headphones Fuuka made.

Evoker
The Evoker is a gun-esque item that functions as a summoning medium for Minato to invoke and control his Persona. While it is not strictly necessary in the nexus, he still uses it.

Inventory
Minato keeps a number of the more useful items that he acquired, such as traesto gems and medical powder, on him just in case he finds need of them.

The Dorm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3KKYk5vxKI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3KKYk5vxKI)

Changes from the original in the video:

On the right wall of the dining area on the first floor is a door leading to a fairly large kitchen.

The door in the indented section of the back of the first floor dining area leads to the basement...  And by basement I mean underground time space labyrinth, the lower levels of which hold a large percentage of the shadows in the nexus.

The second and third floor hallways get longer and add rooms based on the number of occupants.

There is a red door on the back wall on the second floor entry that leads to a sort of armory where Minato stored all the weapons and armor he has collected.

There is a yellow door on the back wall of the third floor entry that leads to a treasure room where Minato keeps all the gold, jewels, treasures, and artifacts he has accumulated.

A person who signs the golden book at the front desk will be considered a permanent resident and will find their name on a door on the appropriate floor. The door will only open for the person whose name is on the door, unless the person gives someone else permission to enter. The room of a permanent resident is automatically altered to suit the owner's needs and desires, and can even have doors to or be combined with other rooms if both residents want such.



Origin:


The Journey

The Protagonist in Persona 3 is first seen departing for the Dorm in Port Island. During that time, he experiences the Dark Hour, and is confused upon the sudden change of the surroundings and the sudden halt of his earphones functioning, though he takes the hour in stride, seemingly unaffected. Upon reaching the dorm, he encounters a child, who promptly gives him a contract to sign, providing players the opportunity to name him. The protagonist transfers to Gekkoukan High School on the next day. His invitation to study as a transfer student is later revealed that due to his capability to adapt to the Dark Hour, he was moved to the co-ed dorm so his potential can be monitored.

During a full moon, one of the Shadows attacks, causing the protagonist to awaken his initial Persona, Orpheus. The summoning sequence, however, was interrupted as Thanatos bursts forth from Orpheus' head, tearing apart Orpheus and slaying the Shadows. After dispatching the remaining Shadows, the protagonist fainted and was taken to the hospital. While unconscious, he awakens in the Velvet Room, where he learns about his abilities. The protagonist later learns about the nature of the Shadows and the existence of SEES, and eventually joins SEES. Out of all characters to appear Persona 3, the protagonist is the only character throughout the game with access to the Wild Card ability.

The protagonist's past is later revealed after Aigis' memories are restored. In the year 1999, when Death escaped the Kirijo group, Aigis was dispatched and was in hot pursuit of the Shadow. It is during Aigis' confrontation with Death, during the Dark Hour, that the protagonist's parents died. Presumably, the protagonist survives due to his potential allowing him to be active during the Dark Hour. Aigis, knowing that she cannot defeat Death, seals a portion of Death inside the protagonist, thus amplifying the protagonist's capabilities of summoning multiple Persona.

In SEES' final confrontation with Nyx, the bonds he has forged with SEES and his other friends give him the power to fight the sorrow, depression, and apathy of humankind, which were what drew Nyx to Earth, by letting him create the final arcana, the Universe Arcana with the help of Igor. With the power of the The Universe, and the cheering on of his comrades he ascends to Nyx' true body, the moon, to combat Nyx itself in a one-on-one battle. After being downed and uplifted multiple times by the SEES members' prayers and Nyx's attacks, he eventually reaches his full potential and performs the Great Seal to miraculously seal Nyx.

The protagonist clings to life for one month after fighting Nyx. He, unlike the others, retains his memories regarding the Dark Hour and Nyx in order to keep the promise he made to meet his friends on Graduation Day. Once his oath was fulfilled, he "falls asleep" in Aigis' lap, smiling.

The Answer

In the playable epilogue of Persona 3 FES, titled "Episode Aegis" in Japan and "The Answer" in the localization, it is revealed that the Protagonist died the day after his sleep, leading to the members of SEES' confusion regarding his cause of death, as the doctor cannot find any unusual symptoms before his death.

After the defeat of Nyx and the death of the Protagonist, Aigis was the one who kept his Evoker, upon witnessing the Abyss of Time, the remaining members of SEES encounter a recurring silhouette resembling the Protagonist. However, whenever they come into contact, the silhouette flees.

It is not until venturing into the deepest area of the Abyss of Time, that the silhouette is revealed to be a shadow resembling the protagonist's appearance. It manifests through the negative emotion and urge of seeing the protagonist one more time deep within the members of SEES. Making its entrance, the shadow challenges SEES, copying their Persona (all of which are colored with a grayish tint) except Psyche and Juno, retaining the Wild Card ability, and several attacks of the protagonist.

Protagonist becomes the Great Seal

The "real" protagonist is later seen in the past, where he seals Nyx. In order to seal Nyx, the protagonist sacrificed his life to become the Great Seal. He was, however, capable of retaining his consciousness long enough to fulfill his oath between the members of SEES to meet again on Graduation Day. The protagonist is shown as a statue, crucified and bound to the door between Nyx and humanity. It is later revealed that Nyx was only awakened because Erebus, a grand being manifested from humanity's grief and negative emotions, was reaching out to Nyx to bring the Fall. The protagonist wasn't trying to seal Nyx, he was acting as a barrier between Nyx and Erebus. After defeating Erebus and realizing the protagonist's purpose, the remaining members of SEES swore to help him bear the burden by making the most out of their own lives.

The END

During the long period of time that he spent as the great seal, Minato would occasionally regain awareness; Sometimes these would only last for only a few minutes, sometimes they would go on for days. Minato has no way of telling how long that lasted, but just the times he was aware seemed to have added up to much longer than he had been alive before.

When he finally woke as a living being once more, many centuries had passed, his loved ones had all passed from living memory. Even Aigis, who had weathered the ages awaiting him, shut down for the last time shortly after she and Elizabeth woke him. He had awoken to an age where he was no longer needed; Humanity had finally overcome it's wish for death.

The Nexus

It was a short and rather uneventful period after his awakening before Minato one day woke up in his old bed, in his old room, in his old dorm, in an entirely new city. A few days later while exploring Minato ran afoul of a rampaging feral dragon. After defeating it and nearly dying in the process, he was approached by an somewhat old man introducing himself as Aien Caebel; The City Council representative for Nexus City District 11, the district Minato's dorm landed in. Aien invited Minato to his home and told him of his dream, to transform District 11 into a place where beings of all shapes and sizes, both strong and weak, could live together safely and in peace. Minato for his part, had nothing better to do, plus he liked the idea; So when Aien asked him to help, Minato agreed.

In the five years that followed Minato explored a large portion of the city, fulfilled requests both mundane and supernatural in nature, and worked with Aien to create that safe haven. In the beginning it was only a small area, but as the reputations of both Minato and the safe haven grew, many beings came to see and participate; Some hoping to finally have a safe place, others hoping to preserve that for others. Over time, with the participation of the many beings (even ordinary humans) from within who had been inspired to join in and from outside who had come to fight for a chance at peace, the haven grew; By the end of the third year the haven had grown to fill the entire district. From there things grew better within, but the chaos outside became a periodic issue as things attempted to encroach on the district.

Over the course of those five years, Minato participated in a great number of battles; Fighting dragons, though none were as strong as the first; Angels and Demons; A hero or two, though neither were of truly mythical status; and Monsters (Read "lots of werewolves"). At one point he even battled a god, though said event was quite unlike a normal battle, and Minato refuses to speak of what happened to this day. Because of this, the district, and the sheer number of requests he has taken; Minato has developed something of a formidable reputation and it is thought by some, quite innacurately, that there is no request he cannot fulfill. Aien has taken every opportunity to whip up and inflate that reputation contributing greatly to just how formidable it has become.

Notes
This is not god mode, I did not give him the Omnipotent orb.
I will be editing this as I play to add better descriptions for attacks, indicate changes in the Persona lineup ECT.
This profile took five days to make.
Added a few edits for 2.0
More edits; Changed stats, fixed descriptions, added spell scaling, ect.
Last major round of edits; Added all Inherent attributes, finished background.

I shall list through... questionable items that led to disapproving the sheet.

Now, since I'm only at the very beginning of P3, I asked people who have played the game about certain things, and have observed youtube videos for others. As such, similarly to how a certain "nasuverse OC" was seen as nonsensical even within his original universe's canon, Minato will also be judged for the game's canon.

Let's start at the beginning.

Quote
Race: Ascended Human

Age: 17 (Physically - Aging has Ceased)
Becoming a statue/seal does not make you into some kind of ascended human, and there is literally not a single thing to make you think so inside P3.

It might have kept him in stasis, but that's it.

Write the character's stats please thank you. This right here is the remainder of an incomplete sheet.
Persona give him different stats? Okay! Then, these stats are him, high school boy, without the persona.

Quote
Magic Resistance:
The equipment grants strong resistances to everything, further enhanced by the persona though the effect Varies according to the one currently equipped.
It's not classic "magic resistance," though. He does resist elements because equipment and shit, but that's not "magic" resistance, that's more like SMT-style elemental resistance.
The elements you should have listed instead of lazily writing "everything," by the way.

Even the armor of light, just resists all elements.

General Magic Ranking

Agi- C
Maragi- D
Agilao- A
Maragilao- B
Agidyne- A++
Maragidyne- A+
Ragnarok- EX
Ragnarok does a lot of damage, sure, but is a tiny fart of fire. It's not EX. EX would break the limit on damage solely because too stronk. EX is Enuma Elish, which, at 2% of its full power is stronger than excalibur.

To make a comparison, final fantasy 6's ultima spell. It's stronk as fuck, 9999 to every enemy ever, still not EX. A+ to A++, tops. And it's the strongest spell in the game.

Basically your entire scale's off by three or four increments, though I doubt you think so. This spell baseline is way overwanked.

Quote
The user's base stats are equal to the equipped Persona's listed stats. The evoked Persona has double the listed stats.

The evoked Persona has double the listed stats.
To quote my source, "There is literally no reason for that."

Quote
ALL THE PERSONA STATS
We use a scale of E to A. Not numbers. And no, they don't directly translate into nasuverse, so no, they don't all have A+ in everything.

Quote
ABOUT ALL PERSONA

From my source:

>The Inherent attributes are unique traits particular to a single Persona granted to it's user while equipped
>also
>the concept of inherent attributes is flawed
>since Persona are basically shadow/manifestations of your psyche that emulate mythological beings
>and should not have abilities pertaining to the actual being in SMT
>or mythology

Basically, all that in inherent attributes about Messiah?

Complete
Utter
Bullshit

You want to play Jesus? Play Jesus. Don't make up shit to play japanese magic persona jesus, because it's stupid. And makes no sense, even in-universe.

The other inherent attributes too. Fusion spells are fine, abilities it gives you (1h sword master, or whatever) are fine, being magical japanese jesus because "well the card IS called messiah, might as well go for ALL JUDEO CHRISTIANS WILL WORSHIP IT ON-SIGHT, CAN PERFORM MESSIAH FEATS" is not fine.

>Unstoppable wave of destruction

IT'S JUST ANOTHER LITTLE FIRE FART

By the flavor text you'd given it I thought it'd be a big deal, but like, it's just another fire fart. It is blue though. Very impressive. But you made it sound like Enuma Elish at 100% where it split apart the heavens and earth, and yet...

it's just a tiny little fire fart! Ooh, 9999 damage, we talked about this.

Also, we use a scale. E to EX(no this is not EX).

Quote
Charm- A+
A measure of ones attractiveness, both in speech and appearance. At this level the effect can be mistaken for a magical compulsion. Grants a bonus to persuasion, and at ranks higher than B also provides a bonus to Charisma.
Charisma's been explicitly told to NOT be put on sheets. This stat? This is charisma under another name.

Your character's charming? That's cool, but instead of saying he is, make him charming instead.

Quote
Courage- A+
The measure of ones ability to overcome fear and face dangers to ones life.
At this level the impossible is made possible through sheer force of will, one can only be called a badass; Even the eldritch horror that is Fuuka's cooking can be faced without flinching.
Quote
Academics- A+

Same here, show, don't tell.

Though, those are lesser complaints. Figured I'd say everything everything.

Quote
Mind of the Universe
The presence of a vast number of Persona has the side effect of rendering mental intrusion by beings with minds less vast than an elder god unwise...
Personas are a reflection of your psyche, if anything, someone looking in would just see a kind of mess. Invasion sure would be like fighting a small army, but looking in wouldn't be too bad.

Hall of Doors
The ability to see and use doors that lead into the hall of doors. It is just as the name would imply, a virtually infinite hallway with a multitude of doors to many places in and out of the city. This is technically something any human with the right mentality could access, but the only user in the city at this moment is Minato.

Elf already noped this. It's stupid, and is an addition to nexus (her baby) made without her consent or even consultation.

Quote
Inventory
Minato keeps a number of the more useful items that he acquired, such as traesto gems and medical powder, on him just in case he finds need of them.
You know when I told you to add details?
Saying "Oh he has some items" and not specifying what they do is the exact opposite.

Quote
There is a red door on the back wall on the second floor entry that leads to a sort of armory where Minato stored all the weapons and armor he has collected.
If this wasn't in the original dorm, and he's been a statue for so long, why are they there apart from "MUH SPECIALIZED BOSS SETUPS"?

Quote
There is a yellow door on the back wall of the third floor entry that leads to a treasure room where Minato keeps all the gold, jewels, treasures, and artifacts he has accumulated.
If this wasn't in the original dorm, and he's been a statue for so long, why is all his shit intact and exactly where he needs it?

At one point he even battled a god, though said event was quite unlike a normal battle, and Minato refuses to speak of what happened to this day. Because of this, the district, and the sheer number of requests he has taken; Minato has developed something of a formidable reputation and it is thought by some, quite innacurately, that there is no request he cannot fulfill. Aien has taken every opportunity to whip up and inflate that reputation contributing greatly to just how formidable it has become.
HE CAME TO US, A SAVIOR but in backstory only.

This entire backstory smells a lot of sucking dick. Minato's, specifically. How much of a pedestal are you trying to put him on?

I get his deeds in P3, but... fuck man, try to actually get some stuff done in-RP, instead of going "THIS GUY IS AMAZING AND SAVED AN ENTIRE DISTRICT AND HAS A HUGE REPUTATION AND FIGHT DRAGONS AND ANGELS AND DEMONS AND A GOD AND IS SUPER CRAZY AMAZING IN EVERY WHICH WAY."

I mean, come on. You're wanking this guy to hell and back. A better idea would have been to start at day 1 and actually RP your way into getting that RESPECT AND PROTECTED DISTRICT, instead of just going "THIS GUY IS SUPER RESPECTED HUGE GOOD REP K? K HE'S ALSO VIEWED AS A GUARDIAN BY EVERYONE AROUND bluh bluh bluh." From the get-go.

You're trying to start your part of the RP at the top, and the way you went to it was stupid and not how you should be RPing in general.

Quote
Weakness: Public Speaking,
What was all that nonsense about charm and courage, then?


Anyway that's that, I didn't go through every single persona (since already inherent attributes noped at) because they just take up useless space on the sheet, but the bottom lines are:

If you wank your character this hard, they're at risk of going blind.
This is someone else's RP setting, don't add shit like doors, an entire protected district, a dungeon a personal of HUGE REPUTATION and HIGH STANDING, a city counselor (Does Nexus even have a city council?) without even consulting them.
If you want to have a highly respected and influential character, don't be an ass: RP them getting to that point instead of walking in and going "LOOK I'M AMAZING". Minato earning respect and rep through fighting and diffusing fights and what have you could have been interesting to see, while other people's characters would come in and out and shit. Instead you skipped the "grind" just to have your AWESOME SNOWFLAKE.
Learn to actually scale shit.

Having had the fundamental flaws in my sheet listed out like this has made me realize that I should not have held on this long.

I had originally intended to take the feedback from the inevitable rejection of this and use it to fix all the problems with it at once.

But it is just too much, even if I could fix all of it, it would take far too long for a character that is still in game.

Even if I did fix it all I am not sure I could bring myself to play him after having to rip out so much of my hard work.

I was too attached to it, my first character in the first RP I ever got into.

I request permission to make one last post with Minato to remove him from the game so that at least he will not hold anyone back anymore.

Your first RP? Yeah, I know what other RPs you've been in, Emiya Kuro.

This ain't your first RP, this ain't your first character.

Actually, what I think he was saying is that Minato was a character he used in the first RP that he ever played in and he re-used him here, not that this is the first RP he's played.

Nah, he misread, or my phrasing was bad, one of those I don't care which.

This is not the first RP I have ever BEEN in, but it is the first I have ever GOT into.

As in this is the first RP I have been in that I didn't start myself.

I tried to start an RP on BL even though I had no idea what I was doing, because I couldn't get into any of the others that interested me.

The result was exactly what one would have expected it to be...

--EDIT--

Also sorry if it looked like I was trying to start a guilt trip, I was just expressing my own shame at not knowing when to let a bad thing die.

Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Brahmastra on September 12, 2014, 07:03:34 PM
So after about a week of internal debate, I have decided to leave CE.

Why? Because it has grown boring. I'll list my reasons as to why.

1. Inactivity. This is probably the biggest thing. It takes people multiple days to weeks to update certain characters (Me and Dallas have literally been waiting for Mandible to post with a certain character for a month), and while there's the whole "oh theres a 24 hour rule now guys", thats cute and all, but it doesn't really help shit in dialogue situations. So basically, even when I want to post, I'm usually waiting on about 8/10 of my characters to be in a position to respond.

2. The lack of point. I get that it's supposed to be an "interaction-based RP", but the fact that there is literally no objectives besides "lel mix-and-match dimension, now go crazy" makes it incredibly tedious. In an RP, you generally always have at least something to work towards, even if it's vague, and the fact that there's none besides player-set ones gets dull as shit really fast.

I heard Elf defend this one with "If I wanted a "goal" I'd just write a story.". While I can definitely see where that is coming from, that's a fine opinion to have as an author. As a GM, it's absolutely terrible. You're supposed to make things have a point and make objectives, not just throw up a Paint map, set some basic limits and go "NOW MAKE CHARACTERS AND HAVE THEM FUCK".

3. The RP in general suffers because there's no limits that can test and make you show off how good you are at RP'ing. Characters go OOC, do things they'd probably never do (the most glaring examples to me being Forest and Archer wanting to fuck ultra-bad not even a few hours after meeting each other, despite the fact that they're both terrible romantics, one has been repressed for centuries and the other is terrible with women. The other example being a Rae!Rin post being, and I quote "She was literally using rin to live out a fantasy about clinging to lancers abs".)

TL:DR: Characters, including some of my own, suffer from consistently poor characterization with the lack of limits.

4. Time. In the span of over 3 months the RP has gone absolutely no where. We've had about 3 inconclusive fights, a few character pairs had sex and another is about to and only a night and half a day has passed, and only because we've had to deliberately push things along and rush stuff. Character plans besides "oh they chance-meet and fuck" or "literally falls through my roof and we fucxk" wound up being worth literally nothing because it'll take multiple months out-of-game time to actually get to ideas that weren't even that interesting to begin with.

5. It's on DSM. That is all.

6. Literally over half of the fun of CE to begin with was how terrible lantz was.

This is pretty much all I have to say to basically say that CE has grown staler than month-old bread to me. The only part of it I can say I really enjoy still (Writing crossover smut) I've had better experiences with just asking the person in question "hey, lets write these two characters doing this" in a Google doc.

With this post, feel free to put all my characters in the deleted characters bin and move on. I'm not gonna ass myself to write exit posts for them all.

I... really don't get what you're talking about with this. For fuck sakes, it's snowing and it's cold. You're going to try and get close to the warm thing that is warm. Especially when it's the only warm thing they're close to. Plus it's a date anyway. But the point of that whole thing was, "jesus fuck it's cold, I didn't think about it getting cold, let's get close to the warm guy who's carrying me."

That all said (because it frustrates the hell out of me when I'm being misrepresented on something), I understand getting worn down with it. I've been worn out lately too.

Post by: Alice on September 13, 2014, 09:30:29 AM
Okay, now that I've calmed down and before things escalate.

While I think Dallas wasn't exactly being... well, the nicest, about how he approached things, the way I snapped wasn't warranted, especially for an administrator. In fact, I'm kinda worried about the stuff attached to that particular snap, because my brain may be doing this fun thing where it's decided to hate me and is thus doing fun things with my behavior. Regardless of that though, that's not what you're here to read.

What you want to read is this. I'm sorry I reacted the way I did. Regardless of how right or wrong you were, my reaction to that I should have tried to control. Brain malfunction or no, I should have just stepped back and talked it out elsewhere before addressing the issue instead of just exploding and letting the cross-wiring get the better of me.

I'm going to hold off discussing it further from there until I've had some time to cool off. This whole thing started because I allowed myself to become irrational, so it's best that I get my mental heath back in check before I address any of this further. I was at least wise enough to not try and mod while I was in the mood I was in and also it being more personal, and I will stick to that for now despite having calmed down. Any moderator action in regards to this I will leave to them (as a group decision).

Well, after discussing this with the other mods (excepting Alice, as she stated above), we've decided to take you on your offer.

You can have an opinion, but that doesn't excuse acting like that and insulting others.

Ironically enough, had I actually voted, I would have just asked for a warning or something. The other mods though have spoken. As I promised above, I stayed out of the decision making process.

I'm going to probably be a bit posting, btw. I'm going to be taking it easy for a bit. I'm doing better now than I was before, but I'm still kinda shaky. So I want to focus on getting my head back on straight first.

Post by: Alice on September 15, 2014, 08:00:16 PM
I ain't quitting or anything, I'm just taking it easy for a bit. I'll be back eventually. Plus other people will probably be back sooner or later, once school stuff slows down. An RP this huge will have it's lull periods, which is part of why Chris left anyway- it didn't keep up fast enough of a pace, because from what I can tell people kept having IRL things happen or similar (myself included).

So yeah, I wouldn't call this one dead yet. It's just a busy time for people, and usually it's inevitable that some people are going to leave at some point anyway.

Post by: Knick on September 16, 2014, 02:47:09 AM
Really you should not be asking, just doing it, asking leads to metagaming even if not intended, just do things and have the characters act out the situations as they would. So if ya want to interact with Shiro go ahead, he will react depending on what the character does.

Also remember I am really busy with school work, so updates are only if I find time until, but I will try and get them within a few days of the post. A bit quicker if it is a action filled post.

If you waiting on me just send a PM, and I will try a bit harder to find time.
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Cherry Lover on September 16, 2014, 12:30:47 PM
Well, yeah, it's metagaming in a sense, but only in the sense of "I want the RP to actually be interesting". Further, due to the no-kill rule (and the fact that I don't want my characters to die), it becomes a real pain in the ass if we get into a situation where you would try to kill them, because then we have to bullshit a way out of that.

Post by: Alice on September 23, 2014, 06:49:29 AM
I think maybe we should reboot this. As a note, I don't think this is Elf's fault, or really, anyone's fault. It's just how things turned out.

I hate to say it, but compared to round one, I wasn't having as much fun this time. It didn't capture the same feeling. I mean, the lantz stuff made me miserable as all hell, and it had it's bad stuff outside of that, but there was a lot of stuff in it that was a hell of a lot of fun for me, that until certain events came to a head, made it a lot of fun in comparison to this run.

I just think... I think this went downhill not only because of people winding up being busy, but just because it just wasn't the same. And (I really hope to hell, if my characterization was bad the whole time even in 1.0, someone better damn well tell me this time) I think my character writing suffered for it. I slipped up as badly as I did because I was writing out of obligation more than enjoyment.

So I say we need a fresh start. I think after some of the people willing to come back get more freedom with their schedules, we start this up again.

I'd be willing to serve as a plot GM of sorts. ...with literally all that meaning is that Elf can bounce ideas off of me, and me back at her, so we sort of have an overarching plot going for the people that prefer something more structured. Unless there's someone more qualified that can step up to the plate (I'd recommend Nachos in a heartbeat for instance, but he only has so much time on his hands).

So yeah, thoughts, feelings, people damn well telling me if I screwed up with characterization beyond the latter parts of this round of CE or not?

I found myself struggling with trying to RP Lyco Aptera alongside Enkidu and Gilgamesh. Daiki and Mooncake are very good at what they do, imho, and I feel intimidated by it, especially since Lyco Aptera is one of several of my OCs - all of which need more fleshing out.
And Knick challenged me to writing Lyco Aptera's response to being able to fly - welcome yet also disconcerting.

I'm not entirely sure this needs a reboot, mainly because I feel ashamed at my lack of posting in response to Knick... ^^;

I just feel like we've already been through one reboot already and doing it is a lot of work for me who's time is limited right now.

Part of me would like to do a reboot, because with some people leaving suddenly leaves some character work in the shitter, but there's already been a lot done so far.  I'm conflicted.

So, how about a vote:

Reboot Yes or No.

(If its rebooted, we'll keep all the approved characters so no one has to make new sheets. It'll literally just start over.)
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Alice on September 24, 2014, 05:10:50 AM
I don't blame ya there. And a vote is definitely the best way to settle this, as while I feel in a lurch, there's a chance not everyone feels the same. And in this case, the majority's desires overtake my own. As a caveat, if we do the reboot, since I'm the one that suggested it in the first place, I'd be automatically obligated to help however I can with it. Would that make things easier, especially with the time crunch thing?

I vote yes for the reboot. Though I think waiting until people start having schedules open up a bit more is wise (IE: they chime in in here in regards to that) is a wise choice if we do so.

As a note, since it's possible I didn't make it clear, I didn't mean to be insulting or hurtful in regards to my opinion in terms of the reboot. Honestly, it just got off to a slow start for me personally, and so it suffered from that in the long run as a result. Not to mention IRL stuff, and etc.

As an extra note! If we don't get a reboot, I won't be walking away from CE or anything. It might take me a bit to get posting again since I'm sorting some stuff out, but I wouldn't be quitting. So if that helps allay some worries then there you go.

Lowered number of max characters per player, a more central plot with an actual antagonist likely managed by the GM, and a more abstract scale for character attributes that doesn't rely on hard numbers.

Honestly I'd probably be fine with a reboot, this reboot kinda killed my mojo so maybe a new one would fix that. And remember during the first run I was a villain and was having some fun with it. I wouldn't mind doing that once more perhaps with some new characters other than Downy to keep things fresh.

It the reboot happens that works, will let me trim my characters so I can keep the few ones I really like and add ones that would be better for a character interactions.

Will try and keep away from characters like Phoenix which in hindsight were not really useful.

Also, might start coming back on skype soon, not sure yet. Latin still kicking my ass and other classes not making my life easier.

Without Arch's harsh way of saying it perhaps trying something fresh might be good for you? I mean sure Downy is a cool character and all but after using him over and over again even he begins to wear his welcome out a bit. Why not try that yourself?

I like being able to play Sakura and her family, though. They're characters that actually interest me. And, whilst Kiyoshi can't fight very well, Sakura, Shirou, Aoi and Rider definitely can. It's not a matter of me bringing in a bunch of characters who can't do anything.

I don't have any other characters to play, though. I can't do anything with any other route without basically writing a story from scratch to include Sakura, I don't really have any interest in any other anime and I find it hard to write OCs out of nowhere.

Post by: Knick on October 01, 2014, 10:48:13 PM
If 3.0 gets added I would just like to make the recommendation that there would be a power cap of sorts, cause how I saw it evolve was that there were a group of just really powerful characters, like Gil, Karna, Phoenix, etc, all of which were powerful and killed tension cause they could just kinda deal with it.

So if someone wants to do a powerful character because they personality is interesting have them make it so because of the nexus their powers are throttled and they can't use all of it.

Well, I don't think it should necessarily be a hard power cap, but certainly characters who can and will just do anything they like without reservation shouldn't be allowed. Because, yeah, they just make all of the other characters basically obsolete. Plus, they can basically do whatever they like to other PCs without anyone being able to stop them, which makes it hard to RP with them.

That doesn't work, though, because smiting them is too big a deal, so they get away with a hell of a lot of stuff. Further, sometimes it's just impossible for them to avoid abusing it, at least if they want to remain IC.

I only started playing MtG recently, but I've come to really, really like White/Green together.
Of course, if I'm going to design a MtG character, it'll probably be a custom Planeswalker - and considering the content of my decks, some racial blend between human/elf and elemental/dryad - especially with Convoke (my first deck's main keyword ability) being from the original Selesnya.

On the power level thing, there's already going to be a cap. Well, unless you can convince a GM to let you past it under certain conditions of course. I'm getting away with Tom next game because he's borderline on the new cap, and while I'll be playing him as an antagonist, I'm going to build up to him going all out, assuming we even get to that stage. He's going to start out basically being stuck at a desk scheming things, which I think works out better.

I'm bringing an AU version of Mordred who is a Changeling: The Lost character. Not Servant level (unless she hits Wyrd 6+, then maybe in lower ranges).

Her Seeming is Fairest and Kith Lionhearted (homebrew one I picked from good site), so her Mask looks like her in civvies and her Mien is her in her armor. She is taller than canon version since Fairest usually are taller rather than shorter, and she is not from Dark Ages, actually, so she will be likely 'towering' over Saber. Also her reaction to seeing Saber will be being puzzled there is a lookalike of her even though she is 100 % sure her fetch is deader than dead.

I had her bought 5 dots in Eternal Summer Contacts which curiously make her power set similar to Gawain's legend in many aspects, though on much smaller scale.

Hmm, has the rule changed for Tom then? Is he still one of my four/five normal characters because of the whole "can be redeemed" thing, or is he in the antagonist slot? I'm cool with it either way, I'm just asking for clarification purposes so I know whether I have an extra slot or not.

Since Tom's a special case because chances are he will be "redeemed" or move from "antagonist" to "Pain in the ass friendemy" I'll say he'll be one of your four.

No, not at all. I'm already leaving out two of their kids. However, currently, the only characters I can send straight into the RP are Kiyoshi and Rider, and if I'm going to drop any character it would be Kiyoshi. Further, Kiyoshi and his shadow giant is the justification I have for sending Sakura, Shirou and Aoi into the Nexus when I'm ready to do so, so taking him out means I have no justification for getting my characters there.

You can also spread your wings a bit Mike and try and do some different things. Or you can do something interesting like making Rider your 'antagonist' but in the sense that she is eating people to maintain herself to protect Kiyoshi rather then crackle von baby eater.

It can even be something weird going on that even after you bring in Sakura something about the nexus or how Rider got there fucked up her ability to form a contract with someone, but by extension no longer needs an anchor, just prana to maintain herself.

It could be a good source of conflict and character development.

Have you perhaps considered the option of making Kiyoshi your "antagonist" submission, perhaps in the sense as an unwitting/unknowing one?

His power already sounds like the sort of thing that can drive that sort of character-specific sub-plot down its own direction, and lord knows that a literal child "villain" (here used loosely b/c I figure you're touchy on literalism) done reasonably well can provide for a tripped out kind of roleplaying experience w/ regards to how others end up interacting w/ him.

It can even be something weird going on that even after you bring in Sakura something about the nexus or how Rider got there fucked up her ability to form a contract with someone, but by extension no longer needs an anchor, just prana to maintain herself.

It could be a good source of conflict and character development.

Except that it means Rider can't eventually return home with Sakura, and I want that to be possible.

Quote
Further, Kiyoshi and his shadow giant is the justification I have for sending Sakura, Shirou and Aoi into the Nexus when I'm ready to do so, so taking him out means I have no justification for getting my characters there.

Have you perhaps considered the option of making Kiyoshi your "antagonist" submission, perhaps in the sense as an unwitting/unknowing one?

His power already sounds like the sort of thing that can drive that sort of character-specific sub-plot down its own direction, and lord knows that a literal child "villain" (here used loosely b/c I figure you're touchy on literalism) done reasonably well can provide for a tripped out kind of roleplaying experience w/ regards to how others end up interacting w/ him.

No, because his death would utterly destroy Sakura, and if I include him as an antagonist someone like Arch will kill him.

Honestly, like I've said several times already, I'd just give Kiyoshi the boot, he's slowed you down in the past.

Yeah, but I've already explained why that's an issue for me. Kiyoshi and Rider are the only two characters I can send in immediately, and I also need Kiyoshi to justify how the others get there. Plus, Rider on her own doesn't work, because she has little interest in doing much of anything and, further, sending her in with Sakura limits the possibility of sex scenes with her somewhat (because she won't need prana then). So, if I drop Kiyoshi, it causes me problems with setting my characters up to arrive and setting other things up.

Then why not drop Shirou?

It's possible, but I like having him interact with Sakura.

Hmm... Hang on, I just remembered. Sheets are in a new format so we have to redo sheets anyway. So would it matter if you had to make new sheets, Mike? Because you're going to have to do it anyway. No one would be ready to go anyway, because you have to make a new sheet regardless.

There's a big difference between re-writing a sheet and actually writing an entire character, though.

Seriously Mike, the biggest problem you have is with your happy family, you end up creating a bubble where you really don't give others room for interaction with them.

I work full-time. However, I also do a whole bunch of other stuff (like trying to actually get people to come to the forum and post things), and sheet-writing is something I find generally difficult.

Erm, you're missing the point there. I don't want Kiyoshi to die. Kiyoshi dying is really bad for my characters, and I can't do that to Sakura.

Mike, the only damn reason the Strix even showed up was because you were bitching about not having anyone to interact with.

Yeah, the problem is that you sent him in in a way that I couldn't interact with. I did try to actually get Rider to talk to him, but the attitude he took meant that Rider would not ICly be willing to be friendly, and couldn't be snarky because she was scared about what he might to to Kiyoshi.

I'm not attached to Kiyoshi, I've just designed the scenario for my characters around having five of them. And, I'm also rather annoyed that just about everyone else in the RP except for me got to have input into this decision, and I did not because you decided it all on a chat I'm not in.

Your happy family does not contribute in any way since they don't have any meaningful issues and you refuse to provide tension and conflict involving them.

There is no wrong with mundane aspects of life, Mordred has a job and little place she carved out for herself in Nexus, but even if there won't be any supernatural shenanigans (which 0 % possible) involving her, she still takes meds and goes to a therapist.

It's not that they don't have any issues at all, but they're not going to be a horribly broken family. That's not how Sakura and Shirou would be at that stage.

And, there is no reason why they need that. Not everything has to be brutally grimdark with little or no happiness around.

For my AU Mordred her whole life embodies the theme of a beautiful madness of Changeling: The Lost. And coming to terms with what happened during her Durance.

Arguably if there is a grimdark in my character rooster, Dr. Erhart Teichmann suffered most. So many things slipped through his hands, no matter what methods he used.

Changelings ARE insane, the degree of insanity depends only on Clarity rating. So Mordred is not perfectly healthy person in that regard.

Deborah is a Vampire with the Beast roiling inside her, so fakes behaving like a human.

Erhart is a mortal but mentally scarred by his vampire hunting, yet still going on. He feels guilty about being indirect cause why his wife was turned.

As for Zarathusthra, he is NWoD Demon, so no mind reading.

Fuck off, Arch. I'm not saying you can't do anything, but your idea of things to do involve either killing them unavoidably or forcing me to RP according to your desires without any regard for what I want.

And, yes, Kiyoshi is annoying. That's part of the fucking point. Because I'm trying to design characters who aren't fucking perfect in every way. So, no, you can't bitch about Sakura's family being too perfect, because your issue with them is precisely the opposite. They're not perfect enough.

Quote
You create a bubble around your characters that stops us from doing anything with them, because they need to be this perfect fucking family.

No, I don't. I just do not want them put in situations where I can't actually do a damn thing about what you're trying to do. Which I think is entirely reasonable.

My problem with Stryx was not him showing up and fucking with things, it's the fact that you give me absolutely no method aside from Deus Ex Machina to actually do anything about it, and that the only interaction I could have with him involved you killing Kiyoshi. Characters don't have to die to be interesting.

And, I accept that Kiyoshi as a character is hard to interact with due to his nature, it's just that I can't easily drop him and join in the RP right away.

Further, the problem there is largely on your side. This RP isn't meant to be extremely dark, it's meant to be something where characters of all levels can exist. However, you guys insist on making absurdly OP characters and then using them to enforce your will on everyone else, making it almost impossible to play a character who isn't also OP.

I like playing Kiyoshi because he is actually an interesting character to RP. Somewhat flawed, but not nasty. However, he is Sakura's child, and I do not want him killed-off. Given that this is an RP in which character death is specifically not an expected outcome, that shouldn't be an issue. The only issue here is that you guys can't comprehend that "no killing characters without permission" means that you have no right to bitch when someone doesn't want their character to die.

Well, yes, I don't understand much about the setting. I just Googled it and found that they would sometimes attempt to kill their Fetch.

Ultimately, it's unlikely to matter much, because the fact that she drains life-force from people means she is likely to come into conflict with my characters at some point (yes, Rider does it, but she doesn't do so in a fatal manner, plus she tends to be rather careful about not letting Sakura or Shirou know...).

Well, then, I don't see any fundamental issue with that. Although, of course, if they go out of their way to create those emotions (particularly negative ones) that might be different, depending on how they do it (running a theme park with awesome rides to feed off people's fear and excitement is fine, kidnapping someone and torturing them to feed off their fear and pain obviously isn't...).

He literally just knows, it is in his nature. He sees what you are like an animal knows what food is.

Unchained Demons have this weird thing where their quantum furnace of being, which is their version of what you'd call a "soul", is completely separate from their body. It's why they're perfect liars, and their feelings are unreadable unless they actually want to show them. I'm not sure how such an ability would work with them, since what I just said doesn't quite make them immune to things like mind-reading (though they can still resist supernatural effects).

The choking point comes from the fact that Unchained, while in Cover, have the ability to automatically "spoof" any effect that would reveal them as anything other than human, even if it doesn't target them directly. Also relies on the integrity of Cover though.

My four characters embody to greater or lesser extent themes of Seasonal Counts

1. Mordred - Summer/Wrath (duh)
2. Deborah - Autumn/Fear (Lancea Et Sanctum's shtick is to put fear into mortals so they come straight into embrace of faith)
3. Erhart - Winter/Sorrow (Many things slipped through his hands)
4. Zarathushthra - Spring/Desire (He wants humans to find pleasure in their true natures. YUETSU)

4)

What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure—as a mere automaton of duty? That is the recipe for decadence, and no less for idiocy…

Oh, and Mordred will have alternate legal identity so mundanes don't ask questions. She does not remember her original name, because stay in Arcadia muddled her memories.

Well supers and mundanes get randomly dumped into the Nexus all the time, so it's not like anyone will have birth certificates on them or anything.

Post by: Kat on November 08, 2014, 12:31:23 AM
She has legal identity she had procured by one Hunter Conspiracies from fan (but well written) expansion of Hunter: Vigil. The organisation is a branch of Department of Culture of UK Government on paper, but what they do is to make sure relative peace between mortals and supernaturals is maintained (relative, they have no objections about pointing those they want dead for some reason to other Compacts and Conspiracies). One thing they do is to forge new legal identities for Changelings who are badly in need of that. Even if Mordred being sometimes trigger happy towards Vampires gave them headaches.

I don't have her full name finished, but as a surname she uses Summers as sort of a pun.

Post by: Knick on November 08, 2014, 12:33:44 AM
She got sucked into the Nexus.

Your over thinking it. She can literally just say her name is whatever and no one will think otherwise.

No legal documents, no nothing.

Your just making it more complicated then it needs to be.

Knick, I literally could not care less. I start from her as NWoD character and then have her reach Nexus (getting lost in Hedge in such way she got to portion cut off from Earth once you reach it, but leading to Nexus). You cannot stop me from Hendersoning sheet.

Post by: Knick on November 08, 2014, 12:38:43 AM
I am just saying don't make me not want to read your sheet cause its filled to the brim with NWoD lore stuff.

The character sheet is for the character, not for intricacies of an entire system.

If your going to put stuff like that in it at least spoiler that stuff when you make it. That is all I ask.

Post by: Kat on November 08, 2014, 12:41:43 AM
Backstory will be there, so Changeling stuff will be there, as well as I need to narratively describe Contracts.

You are not going to like one of my sheets Knick.

Look it's not my fault Demons are really complex, so I have to make sure their abilities are properly explained
Title: Re: Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) Discussion Page (OOC).
Post by: Kat on November 08, 2014, 12:54:18 AM
Well, there won't be mechanics, just description.

For example, she can both boost her Strength rating through combination of her Seeming and Kith Blessings, and a separate Contract, so I need to clear that out since both methods don't stack. The first can raise her above human peak, the other has weaker effect but is more efficient.

It's funny she can Prana Burst shit basing on those NWoD mechanics.

Post by: Knick on November 08, 2014, 01:03:09 AM
All I am asking is that stuff on the sheet is needed for us to understand the character.

Rather then just because. Like when I was making my Zel sheet and coming up with magibabble things I make sure to note that It will would all be spoiled, cause they were not necessary to understand him.

Post by: Kat on November 08, 2014, 01:09:04 AM
Surely, you will understand the character, since personality will be there, but NWoD cannot be separated from it since her being NWoD AU version is the primary gimmick.
