How do we go about getting an antagonist approved?
What rank would a servant be, in general? I'm guessing Superhuman or Legendary, but I'm not sure which.
If I send Mordred in few hours will she be ready for tomorrow?

Also, if anyone wants to Archive CE 2 please do.Done. :) Also, rules and sheet template threads locked so no one posts in them by accident. ...Now to read the rest of the thread thus far, blame me being sorta groggy.
I'm going to get to the antagonists pretty soon.Nah, I wouldn'tve freaked. This cements Tom's position as the odd antagonist/PC hybrid that he is though, which is about how I expected him to be after learning he occupies a normal slot. Which isn't a bad thing, just means I have to make sure to play him well. I'd expect him to have some visibility in the Nexus beyond his true identity anyway, due to running a major company. ...Now if only I actually liked his sheet, I never like his sheet. :-\
I think for the people doing true antagonists, it would be good to have their sheets hidden for the time being. Adds a bit of Mystery.
Alice, before you freak, Tom's okay because he'll probably be redeemed.
Could you just not bring one of them? Are they really all necessary?They are to his happy family stuff.
Could you just not bring one of them? Are they really all necessary?
Yeah, aside from Sakura, Shirou, Rider and Kiyoshi, I also want to bring in Aoi, Sakura and Shirou's eldest daughter.
Justify?
Why does it need to be justified. Just have them be dragged into the nexus like Kiyoshi and Rider were due to the same anomaly happening again.
Just leave Shirou, cause really it would be interesting to see Kiyoshi trying to find another male role model while he is separated from his father. And honestly? Happy families do not need to be together for everything.
The fact that Sakura, Aoi, and Kiyoshi, despite being separated from Shirou, want nothing more to see him again. This unwavering conviction could bring them together to be closer then they ever would have been before, in ways that are not possible for them to in the world where they are all together and so might take each others presence for granted (more in the case of the kids, cause Sakura most definitely does not after HF happened).
Cause trust me, kids take their parents for granted if they group up in a happy family, and when they are separated due to something outside their power to control it makes them realize just what they have.. Trust me, I talk from personal experience in this matter, and it will make them nothing if not stronger.
It would make the family bonds stronger and ever the more potent.
Its 5 Kat.
Aoi is Sakura and Shirou's daughter. There is not another set of Sakura and Shirou.
A young boy needs a male role model man. And honestly Shirou is not the best one cause Shirou has issues. And if we can't agree on that you probably don't really know Shirou's character all that well.
Him having female role models does not really help him when he is a, you know, guy and should probably learn things about being a guy from another guy.
You have to get consent to play a villain/antagonist character, and based on how Tom was categorized, whether they can occupy the antagonist slot or not depends on their redeemability. Basically, I would talk to Elf directly about it, since how things work for antagonists is a bit different in terms of approval stuff even if they play similarly to any normal character.
Evil =/= AntagonistTo add to this, I'll again use Tom as an example (sorry for this :( ). He would again, normally be in my antagonist slot, but since he has the potential to actually switch sides and work with any other PCs instead of against them all, he's in a regular slot. His alignment is actually true neutral either way.
An Antagonist would be a force in which for PCs to organize and act against, basically each Antagonist is like an individual plot to deal with. Which is why Elf is controlling how many and what PCs are Antagonists.
So if the character development comes to pass would it be possible to convert a regular player character into a villain one with GM consent?
Oh, Fuck. I've got to make some concrete shit up for Mephistopheles?
I hope we don't catch attention of certain user :(And who would that oh so dreadful user be? :)
You. Now fuck off.Oi oi oi, sorry, I really didn't mean any harm in any way.
Any idea who you'll be playing as?From my understanding, you can pick a completely OC character, or an already existing one, correct?
...Get out.
Jesus christ, you're the one who brought it up, all I asked was for a clarification on what you meant...Basically. I thought you could infer that from what I said.
I mean, I know you're not supposed to make your OC too OP and the like, is that what you were trying to say or what?
What does the jury say on one character having another soul aside from his own residing in his body, as a result of having the latter soul shoved into him?

Are we getting another map for the Nexus?
Also once again I bring up offer to beta the sheet of Franco's.
I mean, Nachos and Elf scrutinize the sheets before approval and give criticism if anything's wrong with them, but presenting good sheets to begin with is a step in the right direction.
Funny story: someone did in fact play Old Man Henderson in a previous iteration of Cross Effects.
Just PM or message me, Franco.Do you mind if it' trough skype instead?
Yeah, things like 40k are a borderline case. They're Sci-Fi-like settings, but they also have a strong fantasy element to them. So, yeah, you need to ask Elf what she will and will not allow in that respect. Most likely, a normal human or someone with magical-like powers would be OK, but someone who uses really high-tech equipment (especially an android) may not be.The idea is they need to be way more fantasy than scifi. Want a tech priest/most sphess muhreens? nope nope nope. Doomrider was allowed because he was the incarnation of the 70s, had a flaming motorbike and a skull for a head.
Sphess elves eeeeehhhhhhh there is a no alien rule.

Melee space wolves, black templars, maybe a captain if he promises to lose some of his gear, I'd approve. Some of the primarchs actually have more likelihood of approval from me they were literally demigods and were either magical(Magnus the nerd, Mortarion's weird lamp+scythe combo), batman or loved their melee (Russ suplex! Angron too, Jaghatai to a certain extent).
Tyranid genestealers I'd approve in a heartbeat, but there is a no alien rule.
Sphess elves eeeeehhhhhhh there is a no alien rule.
Tau nope.
Kayoss cultists also approved in a heartbeat. 40k demons would be cool too, since they're demons and not aliens. (yes this makes sense)
Guardsmen would be case by case.
Necrons nope. Play terminator instead.
Orks I'd love to say yes but no aliens :(
Squats would b
Okay, that's the second time I've heard that term in the past 48 hours, so could you please explain the concept of 'Memeposting?'It's the reason BL is exploding at the moment. If you're from there you'd know, so I guess somehow you found this place without hitting BL first... somehow. Basically it's shitposting with another name.
Also, the fuck is IC?
It looks pretty damn good.
About what?
The sheet. In my opinion, it looks pretty good.
No dreadnoughts, no assault, no devastator, tactical maybe, with basic bolters and limited ammo.
What about Angry Marines?
And what kind of gear are we talking about? The Teleport homers? The Iron Halos? The Storm Shields? Give me some examples to work with.
Would I be restricted to specific types of Marines (Devastator, Assault, Tactical, Veteran, Dreadnought)?
Tempting. Eliphas the inheritor? Honsou? Fabius Bile?Those are marines. I meant cultists as in the crazy little guys who speak in a high pitch at you in DoW. Alternatively the kind you play dark heresy to purge.
Commissar Yarrick, Creed, and Inquisitorial aide Psyker Alicia Boone.No yarrick, sure creed and... yeah, Psyker'd be okay.
One more thing. What about Imperial Assassins (Vindicaire, Eversor, Culexus, Callidus, and those other two that I can't remember right now)?Vindicaire no, eversor... yeah, probably antagonist slot only(because crazy), Culexus no, and callidus, well... I'm tempted to say yes, but with damaged gear and shit.
Not gonna ask about Custodes because they're kinda mini-primarchs.
As for gear, no iron halos, DEFINITELY no teleport homers, storm shields... I'm going to say no. They're already wearing armor that'd make a werewolf cry, and this is an urban fantasy thing.
Hell, I'm going to say apart from armor, basic melee (no power fists/thunder hammers) and bolters with very limited ammunition, nothing at all. Think of the setting and all.
This includes primarchs. They got what they're known for (ex: Mortarion's lamp/scythe) but stuff like iron halos and whatever else got fried when they came to nexus. Basic apparatus only.
This is not an OP arms race.
Those are marines. I meant cultists as in the crazy little guys who speak in a high pitch at you in DoW. Alternatively the kind you play dark heresy to purge.
No yarrick, sure creed and... yeah, Psyker'd be okay.
Vindicaire no, eversor... yeah, probably antagonist slot only(because crazy), Culexus no, and callidus, well... I'm tempted to say yes, but with damaged gear and shit.
And post-heresy custodes would totes be okay.
Culexus...why not? I mean, how bad would anti-soul be in an Urban fantasy?It's the mask and the psychic laser beam it shoots. It's silly. They're silly.
If you want to play a naked, sweaty, oily man with an obsession with protecting daddy, sure.
Hell yes.
It's the mask and the psychic laser beam it shoots. It's silly. They're silly.
Also the nature of blanks would make culexus a little hard to play, since that don't have an off switch, has AoE and nexus has a fair amount of psychics/muhgiciens and stuff.
I mean the more I think about it it's fine even with all equipment and stuff (etherium would be interesting), but like, it'd be awkward for you to play since you'd have to check with everyone to see if they can actually approach this character without them flipping their shit.
If you want to play a naked, sweaty, oily man with an obsession with protecting daddy, sure.
Mordred will use some British slang in her speech patterns, she is supposed to be from there after all.
Thinking back on the original Old Man Henderson, I suppose I should apologize to Elf ahead of time, in case Henderson derails anything that she has planned.Nah, don't worry about it. If it's disruptive, someone will point it out in thread, but I don't think it'll be an issue. Like I said elsewhere, don't worry so much. :) ...you're making me look confident in comparison. :P You'll be fine.
Sorry in advance.
I believe that the language you're looking for is...Breton? Something? I'm not entirely sure.

And we can't use 2.0's map for 3.0, can we?
And we can't use 2.0's map for 3.0, can we?
Well remove Gil's tower and the "over grown" section could theoretically be part of Shawnee park.
Play it by ear. Do you have Skype? We've got a chat for this.
Also Henderson could go in a bunch of directions right now. Or you could wait to see what other groups form.
If you want to make it go ahead.
"Sure thing, bitch." Neo interjected. "You gotta be so nuts not to get help finding your shitty senpai or somethin', ya' kno'? I mean, what's with the pride, huh?" He then scoffed. "What's wrong, you fuckin' whore? Too stupid to find someone to fuck ya'?"

Sakura turned to face Neo, quivering with rage.
Sakura clenched her fists, glaring daggers at Neo. Yukina's voice barely even registered in Sakura's mind.
How dare he say these things!
Sakura's body suddenly relaxed; her sholders sagged, she unclenced her fists, and her body stopped trembling. However, in her eyes, one could see nothing but rage.
Die
Suddenly, three large demonic dogs lanched themselves from her shadow, sailing towards the throats of the three.
she retains the capacity to heal from wounds like Dark Sakura (although not as extreme)
Can't be worse than Angra Mainyu.
And if she just doesn't die from (normally) mortal wounds because her healing is always active, that really doesn't make her tougher in any way. If she could be instantly killed from an attack that would also kill her if she didn't have that ability, her Constitution should be no different. At most it would be like Human (Supernatural) due to the circumstancial workings of it.
Could she still do that now that she's not longer Dark?
Legendary probably belongs to guys like Lucas because Sakura will die from getting her head punched off. Lucas won't die unless you make sure not even a single drop of blood or piece of flesh touches the earth while you roast him repeatedly.

That's why I mentioned having additional modifiers to denote this. The speed of recovery seems like it would qualify though.
Except Prana =/= healing Mike. Sakura is at best exceptional, without using healing magecraft.
The only reason Lawrence reaches supernatural is because he cannot go into either shock or unconciousness from pain or physical damage. He'll stay alive until he's entirely bled out.
His ability to no sell damage doesn't effect his endurance because he still takes that damage, he just reduces it.
You do remember that Medusa's backstory in FSN is different from the myth, right?
OK, I've posted Rider.
I put a "personality" section in there, because I just find it easier to RP a character if I have a reference as to how I intend to play them....

If all else fails, you can just keep some notes on hand. Like, type them out on your word-processor of choice or something.
What is this building referred to as 'YOLF's Aegis?'
I get the feeling that I miss way too much stuff around here...
I ran Fate Averruncus as a character on CE 2.0., as he appears in UQ Holder. When the RP started, he had been in town for a while, and was commanding a PMC he had named AEGIS. AEGIS was gaining new tech and was also reaching out for Gilgamesh's Golden Rule for the resources to start cleaning up town for real.
Elf, I think I have found your inspiration for Cop Saber.

Kat, in case I don't catch you on skype, just how much is Mordred human? Like, is she like half human half fae at this point?
I know changelings are weird but there is nothing in your sheet about it, it is important for Hamara's post.
SUPERNATURAL TOLERANCE - Supernatural (Mordred's Wyrd is high enough for her to be accepted into Entitlement, offers her some resistance against all manner of supernatural powers)
Name: Tohsaka Raida (real name Medusa), usually goes by “Rider”As YOLF (who came up with the current stat system) has stated in the skype chat, Legendary is, at its very lowest, roughly equivalent to rank A+ and above. As such Rider can't have Legendary agility, she would rather be on the high end of Superhuman.

I said "about A~A+" before, which is why I did not speak up in here and was going to leave scrutiny of that to Elf and Names.
But A+ is actually a servant attribute rank. Multiple servants posses one. Hercules, Lancelot, Koujiro, Medea, Arturia, Gilgamesh...
The point of the vague system is to prevent rpg mechanics fagging, and simply signify when one character has a huge advantage over another.
And sorry to disappoint you, but the difference from D to A is absolutely significant. A rank Strength is theoretically 5/2 times the D rank Strength.
Also, Mike, you can't say that A rank is long above C rank but a D rank is not an order of magnitude worse than an A or A+ rank. You're contradicting yourself.
Mike, just make it superhuman and move on.
No point arguing about it man.
Twice as powerful isn't really worth an entire new rank, though/
My point is that you can't have it both ways. Either servants should all be the same rank for everything, or else you should have another rank for high-rank servants rather than including A, B and C in Superhuman, because A is just as far above C as C is above E.

It kind of is, in my opinion.
And the abstractness of the CE ranks was precisely to avoid this kind of discussion. I always had the idea of splitting Servants between Supernatural and Superhuman, with Legendary only for the truly most amazing ones (bearing in mind Nasu's crap in regard to ranks). I'll leave it to Elf and Names's purview, because I don't really have any authority to tell you how not to describe Rider in the CE system anyways.
Sorry for derail, but is Hamara immune to drugs?
Superhuman is a vague range, so C~A can be there. It's just A+ and higher are in Legendary range.

Find out IC I have already said to much about his capabilities.
Dude, he is an antagonist, his sheet is not disclosed for a reason.
Obviously they are approved, Mordred got nearly skewered by one.
Not been paying attention. I've been away for three days, and I'm not even in the RP yet.
Nachos is on serious pain medication.
I would like to say the same for both Adjutor and Castus Grendel.
Does Adjutor here know the FSN characters at all?
Also, I fixed the [/list] thing that was leftover at the end of Adjutor's sheet.
Do any of you have any idea what the hell I should do with Rider? I'm completely stuck as to where to put her, and because you guys discuss all your plans on a chat I'm seemingly not allowed into, I don't have a fucking clue what is going on or where I should send her....
Just I would recommend not having her find Hamara, unless for like your first three posts you need to find reasons to say why she isn't getting killed. Cause Hamara's only reaction to her would be death lasers of near uncountable amount.
Well, if Mordred can manage to escape, I'd imagine Rider could. But, still, I don't see much point in doing that, no, not unless Hamara is nearby someone else I actually do want to interact with.
Mordred is not inhuman enough for Hamara to bother chasing.
Rider specifically is so inhuman Hamara would actively hunt her down unless higher priority targets are about.
If they ever get into a fight you will see how well it would go for Rider.
But until then it is all just speculation on everyone but my parts.
Being an antagonist is fun.
Except that I don't want Rider to get killed, especially not when she's my only character....
Antagonists are quite literally the only characters without emergency plot armor. I think we deserve some level ground by our sheets not being visible.
Guess we wait for the current ones to get rekted?
What.To Forest: Is this the first time you've been interested in someone who tried to kill you? I get the feeling that the answer is no.
Forest: *Laughs* Oh goodness no. I'm a Celt. Battle can be just another form of flirting.
...then his attacking you from behind is actually quite hilarious in hind sight considering that he seems to be partial to doggy-style.
Pretty much.
Rider noticed a large, black, evil-looking magic circle appear on the ground.

Mike, does Rider have detect evil? Because she seems to be seeking out Sakura like a bloodhound.
QuoteRider noticed a large, black, evil-looking magic circle appear on the ground.
Real talk, Mike, but since when did Rider have Detect Evil?
Mike, did you just use a A+ rank NP.
You do realize the impact of it getting close would kill Sakura, right?
Mike. One more thing. The Order (Ivan's trio) are checked in at that hospital, so you kinda shouldn't destroy it and/or risk destroying it.
Sakura is inside the hospital. That fact alone ensures it is not going to be destroyed, because neither Faust nor Rider are willing to allow Sakura to come to any harm. And, if Ivan's trio go after Sakura again, they're going to have two servants beating the shit out of them this time. And Rider will actively enjoy hurting them if they are going after Sakura.
There are three problems with this:
1. Neo merely insulted Sakura. Just because someone insulted you doesn't mean you have an excuse to kill them.
2. Rattus and Yukina did absolutely nothing to Sakura.
3. The Order tried helping her initially but she refused, so Neo insulted her, causing Sakura to attack not just Neo, but the whole Order, despite Neo solely being the culprit.
Can the Order escape under their own power?
The impression I got from Bdoom's post was that the magic circle gave off an aura of being obviously evil (and looks obviously evil), and Rider is capable of detecting magic. Plus, she knows what evil magical energy feels like, since she was connected to Sakura and, therefore, indirectly connected to Angra Mainyu.
Bellerophon isn't a beam spam thing, it's just a bridle that can be used to control mounts that cannot otherwise be controlled. Rider can control how it is used. She's not going to use it like she would if she was attacking Saber or similar, she's going to fly down and smash through the doors with just about enough force to get through, without causing widespread damage.

I'm sorry to bug you about this Mike, but I'm not sure Pegasus and Bellerophon can actually do that. To my understanding, the pegasus can splatter humans and shear buildings in half just by flapping its wings too close, even without Medusa using the reigns on him. A+ Anti-Army Noble Phantasms are designed for that sort of thing, after all. I get that your Rider is AU-ish so maybe you have it made differently so it only damages what it touches, like an Anti-Unit NP. I would appreciate clarification on this, since whether or not the hospital gets a side blown out can affect how I roleplay one of the characters I have yet to introduce.
You think Rider cares about either of these? As far as Rider is concerned, Sakura could randomly attack some guy on the street for absolutely no reason, and if they fought back she would defend Sakura from them 100%.
No she's not. Nasu claims she is Chaotic Good, but I would call her Chaotic Neutral, personally.
She doesn't hurt people for her own gain, she simply protects those she cares for. That is a Neutral alignment, not an Evil one.
QuoteYou think Rider cares about either of these? As far as Rider is concerned, Sakura could randomly attack some guy on the street for absolutely no reason, and if they fought back she would defend Sakura from them 100%.
She lacks a moral compass if she takes it out on people who just defend themselves from unwarranted aggression.

Well, Neo was being a complete asshole for no reason. As for the rest, they weren't really involved, no, but they did seem to be backing Neo up.
Rider isn't going to go after Neo's group unless Neo's group goes after Sakura first. But, if someone is attempting to hurt Sakura then she will defend Sakura regardless of who is at fault. If Sakura is responsible then she's more likely to show them leniency, though, and at least make an effort not to kill them outright.
You think Rider cares about either of these? As far as Rider is concerned, Sakura could randomly attack some guy on the street for absolutely no reason, and if they fought back she would defend Sakura from them 100%.
Then that would put Rider into cahoots with the Nexus police force, since that is considered legally as murder already.
QuoteWell, Neo was being a complete asshole for no reason. As for the rest, they weren't really involved, no, but they did seem to be backing Neo up.
Neo was angered by Sakura's sardonic tone, so he called her out of it in his usual manner. It's not a no-reason barrage of insults.
As for them backing up Neo, it's because Rattus needs him and Yukina still likes him, despite his horrendous attitude.
Rider couldn't care less about the Nexus police force. Hell, she doesn't even know the Nexus has a police force (and certainly not one that is powerful enough to threaten her)....

My point is that they were not uninvolved.

QuoteNeo came up to Sakura and started bothering her, so Sakura told Neo to piss off, and then he acted like a complete dick.
Nope. They came up to her, offered help, Sakura refused it sardonically, Rattus just offered her a business card and then they were about to leave, when Neo had to insult her first before leaving. Then voilah, Sakura just snapped and attacked the three for the fault of one.
I like how Mike has made Rider an enemy of a bunch of people in CE already.
Erm, it still says that the doors have been destroyed. Nothing has happened to cause that destruction. All of the fighting has been very carefully aimed at places where Sakura isn't.
Secondly, Rider has so far made an enemy of absolutely no-one. She's not attacking Saber or anyone else. The only people she is an enemy of is anyone who tries to harm Sakura, or anyone who attacks Rider first. Neither of those are remotely unreasonable. If someone attacks you, you fight back, regardless of who they are or why they're attacking, and if someone is trying to harm the person you will protect above anything then obviously you're going to protect that person. That is just common sense.

One of the beams Faust fired off did it. The smaller ones. According to Bdoom, they flew about in a random pattern and he said it wouldn't be a stretch to for some of them to hit the building.
QuoteSecondly, Rider has so far made an enemy of absolutely no-one. She's not attacking Saber or anyone else. The only people she is an enemy of is anyone who tries to harm Sakura, or anyone who attacks Rider first. Neither of those are remotely unreasonable. If someone attacks you, you fight back, regardless of who they are or why they're attacking, and if someone is trying to harm the person you will protect above anything then obviously you're going to protect that person. That is just common sense.
She is attacking Faustus. Fleeting acquittance of my character, and unfortunately she cannot stand up to Rider in direct combat, but will try her best in the situation if she arrives on the scene before it is all settled.
At least my Mordred would trust Faustus who already kept his word once over a complete stranger who is attacking him.
Mordred saw what she was, I mean flash of light near in a district full of civilians. At very least, if she learns Rider is behind it, she will be pissed off about going gungho with super powers around civilians.
And what possible reason would Rider have for knowing that at this stage?
They came up to her and offered help. She said she didn't need it, but they continued to pester her anyway, because obviously no-one is allowed to reject them, until Neo insulted Sakura and Sakura snapped. As for attacking the three, they were pretty obviously a group, and Sakura was obviously angry.

You do said that no one in the police force is powerful enough to threaten her.

They were about to leave after Rattus handed out the card. Neo just insulted her before leaving. They didn't continue to pester her. Read the damn backlog and see for yourself.
Yeah, I've read the backlog, and the first thing Neo says, even before Sakura says no is "this bitch is crazy". Not exactly the best way to endear yourself to someone....
No, I said that Rider doesn't expect there to be anyone in the police force who is powerful enough to threaten her.
[...](and certainly not one that is powerful enough to threaten her)....
Yeah, I've read the backlog, and the first thing Neo says, even before Sakura says no is "this bitch is crazy". Not exactly the best way to endear yourself to someone....
Yes, but he did also say that they should get out of there because Neo thinks she is crazy, as if he just wants to leave her alone because she doesn't want help. But then, after Rattus hands out the card, Neo started his rant against her, and then they were about to leave when she attacked.
No, I said that Rider doesn't expect there to be anyone in the police force who is powerful enough to threaten her.
Nope. You specifically said:Quote[...](and certainly not one that is powerful enough to threaten her)....
Hell, she doesn't even know the Nexus has a police force (and certainly not one that is powerful enough to threaten her)....
Sure, but Neo was still being constantly insulting throughout the discussion (calling someone "crazy" to their face is definitely insulting). Given the "crazy" jibe, you can't blame Sakura for being snarky back and, whilst I don't really think she was right to attack Neo, nor was he right to respond to her natural annoyance at his comment with more insults, and she was very definitely provoked.
This is starting to become a serious clusterfuck. Good luck to anyone still in there.
I understand he does not want to get Miked.
Hey Mike, not bdoom's fault you went full retard and decided to attack a FUCKING HOSPITAL.
Hey Mike, not bdoom's fault you went full retard and decided to attack a FUCKING HOSPITAL.
Except that I never attacked the hospital. Firstly, Rider was going to smash down the doors, nothing more and, secondly, Rider never even did that, because Pegasus was intercepted in mid air. Rider has done literally no damage to the hospital, or to anything else for that matter. All of the damage that has been done so far has come from Faust's attacks.
Regardless, you have to admit that a Servant fight in a hospital could have ended a lot worse, especially with Rider busting out an A-Rank NP, even if nothing happened this time.
In this light, would you kindly wait until Sakura isn't in an area with that much potential for collateral damage before pursuing? Additionally, doesn't Rider usually go for a more subtle approach if one is available(Example: Fate route bad end at the temple, she specifically keeps Saber from reaching Shirou so she can't cancel the teleport that leads to Shirou getting his ass killed.)?
Rider also displayed capability of planning ahead to choose such battleground where she could take on Saber (until Excalibur got fired, that is).
a super speshul chocolately fudge sunday snowflake
Bdoom told me in PM Faust is materialized now.
I know Sakura is, but Mordred "roots" for Sakura's escape and prepares in advance.
Talking is a free action
It's not like we implemented rigid mechanics governing time.
She literally just said k thanks.
OK, Faust is just plain ridiculous. He has a shield that Rider literally cannot break with anything short of Bellerophon (I've asked), that moves with him when he moves, doesn't need to be taken down to cast other spells and which he can allow people who he wants to pass through through. It requires no prep time and seems to have little mana cost. And it's not even mentioned on his sheet beyond a generic "he has spells" thing. It's not even his most powerful spell, either.
How is Faust not too OP? It is quite literally impossible for Rider to fight him, or just about anyone else who can't spam extremely high-powered magic or Noble Phantasms.

If you're so upset, just wait for the GMs. Bdoom just revised his post, too.

WELCOME TO THE POWER OF A MAN WHO SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL HIMSELF.
Seriously Mike, chill. You're kinda being a petty little shit about this just because Bdoom doesn't want his Caster ganked or you to you know, try to write a fanfic with his Sakura.
Faust is not one to be killed with strenght, why not try to defeat him trough guile and trickery?
Faust is not one to be killed with strenght, why not try to defeat him trough guile and trickery?
Why not use sakura against him?
He clearly needs her to be around, so find a way to create a rift between them.
Rider knows sakura well, you should thus know how to trigger a divide between them, and use it to defeat him.
He is after al her servant, she has a veto right on all his decisions for now, make her use it!
Be diplomatic, do not fight either, you will clearly lose.
Then instead of picking a fight with the allmighty devil, find a way to prove it!
That is something you must figure out young padawan.Having GM'd for Mike...
If you truly wish to save sakura, you must use a sharp tongue and your wits, not your strength.
There are many ways to approach it, surely you can think up of one.

No need to be so acidic about it.this
Trying to help you there, Mike, you should try to think outside the box, think of a way to appease Faust, to at the very least talk things out.
He is the devil, you cannot defeat the devil without beating him at his own game, and once you do, there is nothing he can do.
Challenge him to play fiddle or something for pete's sake.
Just dont fight.

Basically, you should wait for feedback from either Nachos or Elf if they don't accept it after first reading.I knew and know that; just wanted to be sure that Elf and Nachos knew that I wouldn't feel utterly and completely heartbroken if they want me to change anything. =P
School and job I suspect.More than likely. I suppose a 4 day weekend for Thanksgiving - and spending all of today relaxing - has thrown me off on being aware of that, haha. ^^;
Since the Elementals show up in his profile and they sound like summonable mooks for him, I'd like some basic stats and details on them if you please.I'm not quite sure how to transition them from card to RPing, but...
(Green and White deck? I played Green/Blue.)Well, I play Standard Abzan, which is Green/White and Black.
My god, this is about to turn into storytime with Henderson. And Neo is going to miss the whole thing.
Yes, Saber and Fore killed a Sacchin together.;A;
Isn't it sad?
Lyco, please put this in the sheet. Give the summons stats like they were minor characters, please.Apologies, Elf. Transfered my previous two posts' contents - applicable as they are - to his character sheet.
That could work, but give them a limit of how long they can be summoned just to make things fair.Hm...I added into his Weaknesses the "four-of" and "Legend" rule from MtG as some added flavor, so only 1 Horde of Notions at a time.
I don't know myself how I could enter Velvet Room with Mordred, since escalating so quickly into smut would be awkward. First drown sorrows cause she is jobbing so hard in CE proper.
I prefer to start with SoL like shenanigans first.Same here.
Certainly Mordred would not be interested IC in BDSM.
Ask around here or in the chat, maybe.
And he was approved. Seriously, you had me at, "A mix of Cu and Kojiro".
The Legendary Strength might have been a bit much I feel.
Just cause he has a space rending magic does not make him stronger than basically everyone else.
I have a character, but I'm not sure I'm willing(like, maybe 10% chance max?)
Faustus, but as I said, 10% chance maximumI have a character, but I'm not sure I'm willing(like, maybe 10% chance max?)
Which one?
If you had any guys, I'd consider it. Just as long as it didn't go too far into painful torture territory.

That was the greatest cockblock of all my life.
What Antagonist?
Don't know. But, an antagonist gives me an extra slot, and probably fits a bit better with this concept.

It wouldn't be, although exactly what he would look like I'm not sure. I don't honestly know much of anything about the guy.
whyOh god no.

No.Yeah...no. Please refrain from posting stuff like this; it's kinda insensitive to others.
Wait... that thing is not an elaborate joke!?
It's actually a thing, is it?
:(
It is my firm belief that Sakura is not into BDSMIt wouldn't be, although exactly what he would look like I'm not sure. I don't honestly know much of anything about the guy.

Well, the looks don't bother me, but I guess "good looking" makes sense from your side. As for "big cock", I don't know, honestly. Most likely pretty powerful, though, yes.
The initial concept I had would actually most likely go after Sakura, but that works less well now that Bdoom has his own Sakura here (since I assume Bdoom is not going to want his Sakura being raped and tortured, plus she would probably find it harder to recover from such than my Sakura would, due to not having Shirou to support her, or anyone else for that matter).

Then it's not BDSM, it's rape!
But don't you LIKE Sakura!?
Why would you want her to suffer? D:
Ahem, Mike, I think I speak for all when I say no one wants to be tortured and/or raped.
I will be bluntly honest, Mike: what the fuck? You despise Shinji and Zouken with all your might, but here you are saying that rape is "hot".
I just...I just...what.
To think I get "scolded" just for quoting Wikipedia entry for lulz.
Mike. You do realize that, the very moment that most of the chars here find out about what this guy is planning, that a fair few will be racing each other to ice this fucker? And, with the fact that we also have a fair few telepaths and others who are very good investigators, this will likely happen before you can pull this off.
Just a fair warning.
Because you were making a sick joke. I just happen to like particular things.
You do realize that Shinji and Zouken are fictional characters, right Mike? And therefore fictional rape.
I do not see the difference between what your villain is apparently wanting to do and what they did in the VN.
QuoteBecause you were making a sick joke. I just happen to like particular things.
>Ironical memepost
> worse than torture fetishism.
Problem is that you aren't straight out clarifying that you think rape is wrong and horrible despite having a fetish for it. That needs to be clear.
But like, why would you want to write a character who violates a character you like!?
Franco, can you stop posting out to turn. It was moony's turn

You can skip Ezra, it's fine.
he's used to it
Sarse x Ann OTP. :3c
I was considering having Than'Sanel meet up with them, but with how intent Ann is on romancing Sarse, I wouldn't want to start the RP interactions by being a third wheel or cockblocking. =P
He'll probably have a good opening after their adventure at the clothing store.Sounds good to me as long as it's alright with you and YOLF!
Ann can't spend all her time teasing Sarse after all. Just most of it.Heh.
Nononoo, post post, It was my fault, It was.
Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry.
Sounds good to me as long as it's alright with you and YOLF!
Nononoo, post post, It was my fault, It was.
Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry.
No no, I'm serious, it's fine. He wouldn't be doing anything other than crouching behind the wall, anyways :P
He's a few billion years too young for her to consider him an equal.He'd better start liking being stepped on, then. =P
It's not fair, all of you are ganging up on me like a bunch of rapists ;_;This is a very lewd RP so I'd be careful with your word choices.
... Franco, did moony give you the ok?
Cause you jumped the gun. Again.
Also, you do know that flesh golems have superhuman constitution right (its on Grenth sheet)? As in, it can take just around, probably a little less, then herk levels of damage.
Use that to think about your post for a second, and how easy it was to destroy. If you are going to do something like that, confirm it with the person first. Especially since Grenth is right there so I can manipulate the minion.
Moon Moon, want us to skip you again?
Yay, thank you! :D It's good to know I did okay despite my kneejerk impulse to think otherwise.
And while I left it ambiguous on purpose, it was mostly manipulative sympathy. This incarnation of Tom be a cynical asshole. Basically, if he hadn't instinctively reached out to Carol to be his right hand woman, he'd probably be on a one way track to full antagonist town right now. If something happens to her, he'll basically go into "fuck humanity" mode faster than you can say, "oh fuck."
I'm actually hoping not. :< But if she does die, the Nexus be in some serious shit (basically having to be a CEO isn't doing Tom any favors in terms of his views towards humanity).
Also, edited part of my post in the Velvet Room. I meant "violence," not "virus." :laugh: My brain must have shorted for a moment there. So not much to change except a few words from the post you quoted, Puck, nothing to worry about there.
Also, yes, I'm sure Tom and Time are going to be great friends. :V
It's ok, I doubt he will live to see another day (I'm already getting tired myself of the edge, but I do think it's a bit too late to make him have a heel faced turn, so like, maaaaybe I can make another less edgy char and make him kill Costin off?).
Yes!
But you gotta do it repeatedly in order for him to stay dead.
I approve.
No, it was a random alleyway I do think.
Him kicking the bucket against the flesh golem or Ezra stabbing him with the Lance could also work quickly. (I'm pretty sure Moony was planning on have Ezra stab things too)
Pile of definitely not conveniently placed corpses of EDGE.
Why not both?
As he rises from the car crash, all tattered and beat up, you can have Erza stab him from behind or something.
Jet plane?
Or maybe a tank!
Jet plane?
Or maybe a tank!
Oh come on, nothing that ridiculous.
Apologies, but this might take a while. What I'm planning may accidentally destroy the Flesh Golem too, or at least severely damage it.
Just make it as gloriously cheesy over the top death as your heart desires, it's all I ask for.
RIP in peace Costin, he who lived for the edge, and died for the edge.
It doesn't matter who it affects or whatever, you simply can't assume other character's actions. You have to wait for them to make a reply.
I'm confused again. Who's turn is it between Ezras, Time, Costei, Henderson, and Grenth?Edgelord McEdge II I think
Oh shit, I forgot.
Well, its ok I guess.
Wait, do I still have time to give him any last words or something?
In the future, if any such dispute comes up, I will just delete the post and wait for Elf's opinion, because I clearly cannot trust Knick to be honest and open about such things.
a lucky blind shot that just happened to hit it because Knick can't tolerate the idea of me actually being able to get away in a non-Knick-approved manner
In the future, if any such dispute comes up, I will just delete the post and wait for Elf's opinion, because I clearly cannot trust Knick to be honest and open about such things.
All I said was this, "Hamara will not hit Characters". There was only one other thing thing there because you summoned pegi. Its not hard to anticipate it.
This is us having to tell you ways to get away, and if we don't tell you everything (which is the exact opposite of why an antagonist is hidden), because you can't figure them out yourself (or you don't want to).
Hell it was actually resolved, we already agreed to just let it die because Rider can't get hit by normal attacks.
If you needed to talk with anyone about it, to try and get a more bizarre/interesting resolution, talk with Bdoom, he has Faust there. Faust can fucking help you. You could have come up with someone with Bdoom, but you didn't, you just bitched about it.
You can trust me to not be a dick and not try make a killing blow happen or permanently fuck up a character, its part of the rules. Like fuck, with Crest I would most likely not do what Crest was trying to do to Lucas to do to most people, because fuck that's mean and would permanently fuck up someone for most people. But everything else? That's fair game, because that makes good conflicts, that makes good situations to react to.
Right now Hamara is definitely putting Rider out of her element, someone who is capable of wounding her pegi to much with such a simple attack? That's probably not something she has ever seen or had to deal with. What that does is give you something to work with that's different and weird.
If you don't want to trust me fine. I just won't tell you in the future what I plan to do, I will never tell anyone what exactly I plan to do, that's part of being a good antagonist. I was being really nice in giving you so many hints, like a ridiculous amount of hints.
Mike, I honestly don't care. I am trying to be a good antagonist with Hamara, trying cause problems for people. That is what a good Antagonist does.
IF you can come up with a way to get away I have not come up with? Try to do it, I would love to see it. It is like the Crest, Arisen and Lucas fight. I always try to predict how the fight will got for post purposes, but every time Moony posted it was something I did not anticipate.
Its great. I love seeing people come up with cool things. I love trying to deal with the cool things. Its part of what makes an RP fun.
Like, Faust could have done something like create a Giant magical barrier of some kind to give them some cover as they got on the horse (don't know if he can do this), that might have upped your chances tremendously. Or constantly attack with magical fire, it would not hurt Hamara but it would obstruct his vision.
But that's not what happened.
What I gave you, is a 100% infallible way for this to be resolved from the point of view of someone playing Hamara. Everything else is not. Because Hamara is doing things, and Hamara can react to things. There is no way of you knowing the issue will be resolved because your not playing Hamara. Hell, I don't know all the ways it can be resolved.
Because other characters can do things I did not think of. Like the Faust points I put up above.
The Pegasus thing happened because summoning it is not instant and I promised to not hit characters. There was literally nothing else I could hit. Hamara is not stupid, it is most likely moved back to the people she was with before for some reason due to the angle of her movement before he lost sight of her. So Hamara took at lucky shot in hopes of hitting her.
I could have had him shoot a blanket of shots filling the entire area with them, something he is capable of, but I didn't, because I was trying to be fair while trying to also make people adapt to Hamara's presence. Not fuck them over.
Thats that mantra I play Hamara with. Make people's lives harder, but don't fuck them over.
The problem is that you didn't give Faust a chance to do stuff like that. You shot at Pegasus and hit in the same post. No-one has the chance to react to that. And, you intentionally misled us in the OOC chat so we wouldn't put any effort into actually trying to make sure nothing went wrong.
It is fine for you to ICly act in that manner, but you should not be intentionally misleading us OOCly. If you do not want to tell us things, then say you won't tell us. Don't make comments that are false or intended to be misleading, especially when they're being made for the purpose of preventing me from performing actions that make logical sense ICly.

Never said that Pegi could not be hit. Said characters could not be, there was no mislead int.
I said the post was fine
I guess you can read some of what I said as it would not hurt your chance of escape, not what I said but I can understand if you interpret it that way. That is actually true because an airborne target would cause Hamara to do something different. Something that an Airborne target would find near impossible to avoid. If anything, preventing that option actually made escape with harm more likely.
Also the cloud of smoke blocks vision both ways. Not like Faust, with his lower stats then Rider would be able to react to a completely unseen attack shooting at the speed of sniper fire. Hell, even Rider would probably be unable to do that. Fuck, Cu would not be able to even with protction from arrows because he cannot see the shots origin.
Never intentionally misled anyone. I tell you things, not everything because that is boring, but I tell you what I deem is necessary.
Its not my fault if you act on it. Its not my fault you need to use OOG knowledge to make IG decisions, definition of metagaming by the way.
In fact, I am near 100% sure that Rider not attack Hamara is only because I have said Rider is the worse possible person to fight him. Because she had no such qualms about fighting the completely unknown Faust when Sakura is in any dnager. And Rider is definitely feeling from the situation the Sakura is in danger. You made it clear in your posts.
Just roll with the punches and move on. Its part of RPing.
I'll respond with Tar in a bit, thanks for the consideration.Hey, no problem! :) Gives me a chance to write Rin a proper response with her greeting anyway.
Hmm, Elf, where does Forest usually live? Is it in the US? If she lives in Britain, then the bit about most people not knowing how to use manual transmission isn't true, because the vast majority of cars over here are manuals.
I will appreciate if Saito posts soonish so I can move on with my char.>does not recognize I have a life
I mean, you give false hope by nerding out during 50 minute breaks instead of meditating before another exam.
Why didn't Lawrence pack a rape whistle...No one expects the Ann-quisition?
So why does Kayneth know martial arts?
Catalyst Glove: A glove given to him by his former Servant Diarmuid Ua Dhuibne, while it is just a normal fingerless leather glove it contains a strong connection to his former Servant and would act as an excellent catalyst to summon him. Kayneth keeps it on his person at all times in case that need arrives.Why didn't it get un-summoned when Lancer did?
Hmm I think I forgot to mention that this is the Kayneth from my story and not the one during the 4th Grail War. But yes this is a Kayneth who has aged a bit more compared to his younger self.
Combat Experience is a good way to phrase what I was trying to give him yes.
As for the glove due to circumstances Lancer's body was used as a catalyst for a ritual and due to his loyalty towards his Master he thought it best to ensure Kayneth had a catalyst strong enough to ensure that if he was ever needed again he would be able to be summoned in a way that would put him in a state that closely resembled his 4th war self.
As for why the glove hasn't disappeared, well Kayneth infused magical energy into it to keep it from disappearing it. Because it's not a very high cost it's not that big a deal.
Cut it out. Pointing out problems is fine, stupid bullshit like this is just causing trouble.

The main issue I think is the way people's antagonists work, especially one like mine. He can and will assault someone out of the blue when he thinks they are vulnerable. Would antagonists, with GM permission, be capable of hijacking No-Death or Open tags and turning them into Plot Events? One way or another I think antagonists should have special rules regarding what sort of shit they're allowed to pull and where. They exist to incite conflict, to force the PCs to get out there and make them stop.
I think that might just overcomplicated the RP a bit. But that's just me.
I don't think we need it, there aren't enough people in the RP,
and there are too many areas in the RP.
And we certainly don't need explicit restrictions on who can join a group, IMO
(in particular, I dislike the idea of a "private" thread, because that allows people to just be excluded from the RP entirely). There are situations where people shouldn't just show up out of the blue
but that can be dealt with by just talking to people.
Also, the entire RP is "no death" unless players say so, so a "no death" tag on threads is pointless.
I also don't think Antagonists should be treated differently in terms of what they can do. Not all non-antagonist characters will be friendly with other non-antagonist characters, and I don't think they should automatically be restricted from doing things like attacking characters they have issues with just because they're in a "private" thread.
I don't think we need it, there aren't enough people in the RP,
And we have a lot of characters. Your point? Also ~20 people in a RP is considered so so in the Forum RPing communities. Which we have.
and there are too many areas in the RP.
And? Then we partition some of these buildings and places into districts as the sub-boards.
And we certainly don't need explicit restrictions on who can join a group, IMO
2.0 and 3.0 says otherwise. Too many people joined into one place and led to a clusterfuck that is harder to follow. You can try to ask to join even when tags are set in, I think people here are very willing to let others in if you try to reason with them. I mean, hey. Would you want Hamara to barge into your Rider BDSM scene for no reason other than to fuck your shit up?
(in particular, I dislike the idea of a "private" thread, because that allows people to just be excluded from the RP entirely). There are situations where people shouldn't just show up out of the blue
Refer to my Hamara statement. Also there's other RP's you could join. Or you could just make one yourself, lol. Asking is also a thing, lol.
but that can be dealt with by just talking to people.
So why can't you just talk with some of them to let you in? It's just that the tags are to give people the general idea that they want this little moment of development for themselves. Unless someone really wants to be in on it, then go ahead and talk.
Also, the entire RP is "no death" unless players say so, so a "no death" tag on threads is pointless.
Tags were supposed to be an example. So, lolok.
I also don't think Antagonists should be treated differently in terms of what they can do. Not all non-antagonist characters will be friendly with other non-antagonist characters, and I don't think they should automatically be restricted from doing things like attacking characters they have issues with just because they're in a "private" thread.
Try saying that again when you're trying to RP with Sakuwhore and then someone tries to start shit with you. You know, like Kat or Magos.or even KnickI mean I would've thought you of all people would kinda appreciate this. But hey, ok, lol.
Seriously though, GM's would have the power to let them in or not. Even if it's private. I don't see what's the problem with that.
I really don't give a shit if you don't allow the tags because they're really not my main concern. But at least give the CE RP its own board so we can organize shit with the RP threads and a timeline thread to help keep track for people. Makes that shit easy to navigate around and then post.
I really don't think we need to complicate this, but a timeline graph recording notable events would maybe not be a bad idea.

But, well, it's up to Elf, ultimately. If she likes the idea, then I (or Alice) will implement it for her (as long as it doesn't require hours and hours of work...).
Honestly, I don't even know what district Sakura's house is in. The result of this would be extremely fragmented posting that makes it very difficult to follow what is actually going on outside your section of the RP. Or, even, notice what is going on at all.
Yeah, I guess this is a valid point. I just think it's generally easier to arrange things between players and not to keep demanding things of the GMs.
CE already has its own board (albeit a sub-board of the RP board). I don't see how making it a top-level board would change things.
Well, most likely a timeline thread rather than graph (unless someone is volunteering to draw the graph...), but the idea works fine.

QuoteI really don't think we need to complicate this, but a timeline graph recording notable events would maybe not be a bad idea.
It wouldn't. You guys think it is. Like I said earlier, I'm just suggesting tags as a secondary thing. Organizing the whole rp events in threads would make it easier to keep track. There's nothing complicated by it. Make a thread and post. Put a "date and place" at the top of the post/thread to know where and when it happened so that it can be recorded in a timeline thread.
The way we have it now is that we all cram everything in one thread, which would make it hard for some of the uninitiated to keep track what happened so far and no idea where to post their characters. Because it's so unorganized and just cluttered with everyone's rp events everywhere. Especially for some people who may have RPed for a while and had to go on a hiatus for number of reasons.
QuoteBut, well, it's up to Elf, ultimately. If she likes the idea, then I (or Alice) will implement it for her (as long as it doesn't require hours and hours of work...).
Literally just set up new boards with some sparse descriptions. I don't think it requires that much.
QuoteHonestly, I don't even know what district Sakura's house is in. The result of this would be extremely fragmented posting that makes it very difficult to follow what is actually going on outside your section of the RP. Or, even, notice what is going on at all.
And? Residential areas are a thing. So what if it is fragmented? You're allowed to read other threads and make the call whether you could try to let your character in or not, lol. No one's stopping you in this regard. Don't just have her stick around and be a boring NPC in some humdrum apartment.
QuoteYeah, I guess this is a valid point. I just think it's generally easier to arrange things between players and not to keep demanding things of the GMs.
The way I'd have the tags is that it would first settle between the members to decide if this character can barge in or not. That way GM's don't have to be as busy. But if a consensus can't be reached, GM's have to make the call. I don't think there's going to be a lot of disagreements. Yet. Again, really don't care if tags are implemented or not.
QuoteCE already has its own board (albeit a sub-board of the RP board). I don't see how making it a top-level board would change things.
Makes things more organized and maximizes the timeline idea. Since the latter would link towards the rp threads it has recorded.
We'd need people to volunteer to help with the timeline so it's easier for me to put everything in place. ...One thing I ain't got is a great memory. ^^" And I haven't been paying as much attention this time, so I'd need at least one person to give me a run down before I can start organizing things in the timeline thread.
I think the timeline idea is definitely a good one. I don't think we need hundreds of threads for every single interaction, though, it just massively over-complicates things.
I think it occasionally gets confusing, but I also think that having loads of separate threads would get confusing, particularly with people moving from one to another.
We have to work out which boards to have, and to make sure that the concept works without getting horribly complicated.
But, anyway, like I said, it's up to Elf. It's her RP, not ours.
My point is that people will lose track of what is going on and where.
I don't think we need tags, beyond maybe "open" and "closed" for places where anyone can show up, and places where you should talk to the players already involved first. The rest are redundant.
Everything is already organised. We have an RP forum, and we have CE (which is an RP) as a sub-forum of that. I don't see how making CE a separate top-level forum makes it more organised.
Blah Blah Blah.
As for the time and date thing, I'm not convinced about that, honestly, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it requires us to actually explicitly work out how long every post takes, which is a pain.
Secondly, it causes serious problems when groups get out of sync. Right now, if I'm in a group that has been doing something that should logically take an hour and you're in a group doing something that should logically take 10 minutes, we just overlook that (it happened several times in the first CE, particularly with Rider).
. If you have an explicit date written, then it becomes impossible for the two groups to interact until they are in sync (which I suspect is unlikely to happen very often), which tends to force us into seperate, non-interacting groups a lot of the time.
As for location, I guess giving that might make sense, although it is a bit more hassle, again, because it means actually explicitly working out where you are.
Seriously, just a list of notable events that happened each night and day is enough. They don't even need to be chronologically ordered because" the Nexus is weird" is still a good excuse for everything. Like so:
NIGHT 1
- Fight At The Hospital
- Church Burnt Down By Henderson
- Police Starts Tracking A Monstrous Murderer
- <Notable event #4>
- <Notable event #5>
- (...)
DAY 1
- <Notable event #1>
- <Notable event #2>
- (...)
And so on and so forth.
Timeline, putting events in order. Like literally, you're responsible for your own characters. Contribute to the timeline or don't and take responsibility for it. Like, don't bitch about it if you haven't done anything for your characters. Since everyone's supposed to responsible with their own characters.
Quote. If you have an explicit date written, then it becomes impossible for the two groups to interact until they are in sync (which I suspect is unlikely to happen very often), which tends to force us into seperate, non-interacting groups a lot of the time.
Which is why we can always adopt a bit of fluid-time within the RP. So as long as it's recorded in timeline and the event is kept in mind, there should literally be no problem. Just remember not to stray too far away in days and nights while staying in sync with everyone.
While we may have a timeline of what actually happened throughout the whole plot, I also suggest a separate sub-board for a character's own thread compilation of what happened to them and describing what relationship they may have with other characters. In the community of forum RP's, they're called Character Trackers.
It's to give other members a more isolated focus on this other member's character. To give them an idea what happened to them and what relationships they hold with other characters. That way it helps them give an idea how to interact with said character.
PARIAH- Forest can smell the poo on you!
PARIAH- Forest can smell the poo on you!
My character is literally just following around Bdoom's, there's no point in me adding anything to the timeline.
And, you're missing my point. Working things out doesn't change the time disparity. If one group says it's 10PM and another group says it's 6 PM then the two groups cannot interact unless the earlier group somehow does a time-skip, whereas right now we just ignore the time difference and jump in there.
Sure, but as soon as you allocate a fixed time to an event, you lose the ability to have fluid time.
We need to keep somewhere close, but we don't need exact timings for every post.
I really don't think we need or want an entire thread for each character saying what they've done. For example, Rider's thread would literally be a copy of part of Sakura's. A timeline listing events and the characters involved in them is easily enough.
Half-serious question, would anybody be interested in a Colosseum style thread for this?
Basically a place outside the normal RP for people to battle if they so choose to do so.
Lorenzo needs money, he might look for a job after he is tended to, and blowing nazis sounds like something he'd like to do, so why not?
He isn't the type to judge people on their past, so as long as the person is not unpleasant, he would not flat out refuse...
He isn't the type to judge people on their past, so as long as the person is not unpleasant, he would not flat out refuse...
So, that's a "no", then....

And what makes you say that?
A lot of people in the RP are fairly horrible people. They are just good at hiding it.
Like Crest, he is probably one of the most selfish people in the RP. He just does not really get owning material things so he does not really act on it in ways that most people do.
Except you know Mike, Neo isn't the ex-nazi.
Well, yes, but Neo tends to drive just about everyone else off, and Rattus is not exactly perfect, by any means.
I'm trying to find where we had the discussion about Ivan's characters....

Neo's shtick is to be a giant asshole. I thought you were supposed to get this already.
On the other hand, Rattus isn't perfect, of course. If I made him perfect, he would be a Marty Sue. And besides, the wealthy businessman, at best, is the equivalent of an awkward nerd and, at worst, seems to be a psychiatric-social basket case.
Otherwise, don't confuse Rattus with Neo. And most of all, you'll only look stupid if you confuse Yukina with Neo.
Yeah, I got that. Still, the others don't exactly stop him....
Well, yeah, sure. But, I would expect Neo to cause him problems with his general assholishness.
Honestly, Yukina I know very little of. She doesn't seem to do a lot.
ikr! D:Happened to me around this time two years ago. Next thing I knew I was sitting in a chair in the college's nurse's office. Apparently I was walking around speaking gibberish.
The completely frozen streets are the worst, can't walk a few feet without slipping and risking bashing your head on the frozen ground. Like, people can die from this shit. Bestest of luck man :/
To Lancelot: Sir Gawain called you once "uptight". Is there truth to his statement?Lancelot: Going by this "Urban Dictionary" Forest showed me, to be uptight is to be unable to relax, to have my "panties in a twist", or to walk around as though a tree branch had been inserted into my rectum. How crude. Beyond the obvious facts that I do not store wood within my rear, nor do I wear female undergarments, I suppose the first portion of the definition is not inaccurate. Adjusting to this new society is an endless task, and sometimes Saber can be... moody.
Edit: Elf, for your Saber post. Silver is not viable, it is literally inside of Mia. Mia has no sword that anyone can tell, it is just a minor thing but don't forget that.
I'm going to counter that with Saber's instinct. She doesn't know what Mia's packing, but she senses that Mia's armed with something dangerous.
Also, I should do character approvals tonight.
Even though I'm still tilting my head at the fact that Fast Wheels now knows Martial Arts.
Instinct is only for combat situations.
Instinct: A
Instinct is the ability to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because this skill allows for the prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from firearms. At rank A, it is essentially in the realm of precognition. Through this ability, it is possible to negate the penalties inflicted by visual and auditory interference to a certain extent.
Being able to discern Cú Chulainn’s ultimate technique certainly reflects her skills, but having exceptional Instinct also helped her immensely.
Just waiting for YOLF to post with Tar before I post. Unless Tar's content with just standing there listening in, in which case I'll try and post something asap. :P
Gotcha. :) I have a dental appointment this morning, so I might not post until this evening, but I'll go ahead and go next.
Also ouch. :( Get better soon Knick! Don't push yourself too hard until you're feeling well enough to leave bed. Also make sure to drink plenty of fluids.
...Also, in terms of Nazi hunting, I'll need a roll call. ^^" My brain's been effectively shot for the past few days, so a refresher on who's all in so it's easier to keep track of everybody would be really helpful. I think YOLF, Umbra, Knick, and Franco are all in, but I'm pretty sure there's one or two people I'm forgetting.
Hey Knick, real important question here about your post. What kind of drink did you give Kayneth?
There sure are a lot of characters from different universes. What would people think of adding a tag to character sheets listing what series they are from?And what of original characters?
Forest (The Law Unto Herself Chronicles (http://www.jukepop.com/home/read/533))
Saber (Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero)
Abigail Summers (The Law Unto Herself Chronicles (http://www.jukepop.com/home/read/533))
Hopefully I'll get a chance to post tonight. Last night . . . wasn't a good night. Those who were on the chat should know what I'm talking about.
Not even midway. Pretty much at the very start.
Well, I repeat my question about morning posts since I'm bored. And my post in Colosseum has not been replied to yet.
There probably won't be many with straight superhuman, but it represents anyone who's really strong, I think.
Just a question.
What the public generally knows about Saber?
Ok it was hard to keep track of the skype discussion while on the phone at work, so it's probably best to bring the discussion about the Enforcer's aircraft carrier here.
I only saw complaints from Knick and Panda, and I'm pretty sure Panda's issue has been cleared up now, but since Knick said more people than just him had issues it would be best for them to be posted here to make sure I see them. I really like aircraft carrier idea but if a lot of you guys don't I'll trim the air superiority down.
It seems a bit ridiculous, honestly. I don't like the idea of the Enforcers being so overwhelmingly powerful, it makes it basically pointless to have good-guy characters in the Nexus, since any serious issues will already be dealt with anyway. From what you're coming up with, the Nexus sounds like it is actually safer than the standard Nasuverse is....
I'm also not remotely clear why there are Vampires and Werewolves still roaming the Nexus so freely when law enforcement groups have an aircraft carrier and all this other stuff. They should be able to bomb them to oblivion without much difficulty, and at very least drive them into hiding.
And how they maintain a fucking aircraft carrier? Only major powers can afford a one to begin with.

Collateral damage? I mean, it's not like the vampires and werewolves are all neatly filed into little Vampire/Werewolf Ghettos for any interested groups to level. They're everywhere, so bombing them into oblivion to a truly meaningful degree is likely out of the question. And that's ignoring the logistics of arming all the aircraft with anti-Vampire/Werewolf armaments. That said, werewolves and vampires are hardly the only hostile supernaturals, and the carrier is still a fuck-mothering carrier. Although with the Nexus constantly pulling in more supernaturals...
It's all a giant mess, really.
Just to be sure, what exactly is the problem with the carrier? It it the presence of the aircraft carrier (In which case, we're in the Nexus, it just pulled one in from somewhere), the massive threat that it poses (Can't really argue that), or the idea of the police/enforcers having a fighting chance against some of the stronger supernaturals that aren't explicitly immune to military weaponry?
All three, frankly. To the first, even if a carrier could just show up in the Nexus out of nowhere, it would be useless, because no-one knows how to actually use it, and there's no reason the government would find it in any case. To the second, yes, that is the biggest issue, because the whole reason the government is the government is precisely because it possesses overwhelming force relative to ordinary citizens (support from the populace also helps somewhat, but it seems unlikely that the average person in the Nexus would be opposed to a government that could help keep the supernatural creatures in check).
To the third, also yes, because the whole point of the setting is that the government can't do very much about the supernatural threat and, indeed, lacks much power at all. There's nothing wrong with giving enforcers the chance to be a threat to supernatural entities, but they can't be enough of a threat to negate the ability of heroic characters to actually make a real difference. And, having an aircraft carrier goes beyond just giving them a "fighting chance", it makes it pretty much impossible to avoid them. Even if you're immune to normal weapons, they can still make your life absolute hell by blowing stuff up.
Also I'm going to be MIA for a few days due to Convention.

You got me on the first and second points, but to the third, I have one counter argument to offer.
Couldn't Dan just make the Enforcers a PMC or something? Or would that just make the problem worse?
Private Military Contractors.
Ah, right....
Yeah, that really doesn't make sense. If such a group wasn't part of the government from the outset, it would pretty quickly become the government, because it has such overwhelming force, and the government lacks the funds to really pay them.
I may have overdone it slightly in the NPC thread.
It was a thought exercise.
No Private Military Contract could afford a supercarrier ever, or any combat ship.
Because of boredom?
Personal curiosity here, but what kind of resources would you need to be able to maintain one? I can guess at the basic ones (fuel, armaments, etc), but...okay I guess I'm asking how much of what you'd need to support one.

Or they could be the guys who only get called in when the shit really and truly hits the fan. Precisely because the government lacks the funds to pay them unless they really need them.

These carriers actually run on nuclear reactors and steam turbines, so they can actually go for around 2 decades without needing a "refuel", or replacement reactors. Rearming the plane's ordinance after it's been expended is also pretty much impossible. Food and water for the crew is an obvious requirement, but I'm not counting that as an issue since it apparently isn't for the rest of the Nexus even though it probably should be.
Basing the argument on "There's no way they could afford a carrier" is really just semantics though because when it comes down to it the Nexus economy is 100% bullshit. If your issue is that having that many planes is just too OP even with the limits imposed by rules of engagement, that's another matter entirely.
Even with someone with a fuckton of money like Tom who's building up a military level security detail would struggle with it I would think. And that's someone that could have access to both the funds and personnel needed. So that's probably something to consider.

Except that they have more firepower than literally the entire rest of the Nexus at this point. If they're amoral enough to just sit around on a aircraft carrier instead of fighting without pay, then I would expect them to make a grab for power and take control of the Nexus outright. Most people wouldn't even mind if it means that they get more protection from Supernatural threats.QuoteBasing the argument on "There's no way they could afford a carrier" is really just semantics though because when it comes down to it the Nexus economy is 100% bullshit.

Well, the "they can't afford" it argument is only a small part of the issue. It's not even cost, in any case, it's maintenance, spare parts and crew. Plus, it is way too OP, and any group that had possession of such a thing in the Nexus would realistically end up running the Nexus.

Admittedly, this might be an interesting twist to the RP. Instead of worrying about the random supernatural chaos, we have to worry about an authoritarian order with the power to back it up.
It could be, yes, although Rider could probably take it down fairly quickly due to being a spiritual being and, thus, not vulnerable to conventional weapons. Still, it would change the focus of the RP quite a bit.I doubt denizens of the Nexus with access to such a thing wouldn't have measures against supernatural enemies.

Well, Etheric Rounds have a spiritual rank, but they are still bullets courtesy to NWoD's American science. Though a scaled up version would be more likely to harm a Servant.
Yeah, sure, but they're not connected to the group that would supposedly have the aircraft carrier.
From what I gathered Lorenzo and Adjutor are in the bar Mordred entered, so it's franco's and Panda's turn.
I'm fine with the consent part but by no Roa do you mean I can't have SHIKI change to Roa or I can't have Roa as a voice in his head period? (Even if I never plan on having him manifest at all anyways.)
Geeze Knick, Mia keeps getting creepier and creepier.
Just have one of your chars (Or more than one) go out and about and do things. If other chars join in, great, if not, then you can have your chars stumble on a developing situation or something.
Read the posts.
Like, literally, that's all you need to do.
Why is that hard.
We are not your servants.
Forest: Bloody hell, why does everyone thing I'm some sodding monster or something? And apparently I'm grooming Saber to be my heir? That's a load of bollocks right there. If I had a heir, they'd need to be more of a smart ass. Saber's too bloody proper.
Ivan, if you're bored, you can always just toss Neo out into the streets and look around for ongoing situations to take part in. There won't bee much interaction with a drunk guy in a car from passersby.
Trust us. He won't. We've got at least two events going on for this day in the RP, both of them major events. If Neo somehow manages to hog the limelight, then there is something very, very wrong happening. I mean, seriously, have you been looking at the RP lately?
We've got Suiren fighting Vanguard and Rider. We've got Faust trying to track down Shirou and Rin, which will get interesting soon. Hell, I'm going to be having Adjutor apply for a consultancy with the police, which will involve him having to last for a minute against Saber if he wants to join the sewer expedition. There will be character development, fights, and generally interesting things going on all over the RP. Neo may be able to do something interesting, but there is pretty much no way he can hog the limelight. At all. Operating under the assumption that he can even get any of it.
Ivan. You can do this with your other chars. Have them go out and about. Have them encounter other people. I just suggested Neo because having him stay in the Order's Manor all the time after the stuff that happened at the bar and the firefight with the police afterwards wouldn't be the best idea. There were a metric fuckton of witnesses, and I'd think the police can at least access housing records. Besides, Neo doesn't seem the type to stay at home.
I mean, you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot, here. The characters could potentially be interesting (I think) but you haven't had them out and about enough to show us...well...anything, really, about them aside from the fact that Neo is an asshole with no sense of self-preservation.
Honestly, it's less that that you don't get to appropriately depict them and more that you don't really try. I mean, seriously. You put Neo in his car, drunk, when you made your post. How many people are going to go out of their way to try and get the attention of someone who's just sitting in his car? You really are shooting yourself in the foot.
My bad on that. But the fact remains that, if you want interactions, you should send your characters out. Looking at what's going on with Rattus and Donkey, you could just send out another one of your chars if you don't feel like waiting for Nachos. I suggested Neo because Yukina doesn't seem like the type to leave the house often unless it's with the others.
Also, you've got something more than slightly wrong about the police being unable to find Neo. The stolen car would have been reported, likely found, and Neo was bleeding all over the place all the way back.
Add in the fact that he took the time to enjoy a joyride, which, in an open-topped car is basically asking someone to be able to ID you, and open-topped cars aren't exactly things people forget about within the course of a single night, especially not ones with such interesting occupants such as Guts and Dragonslayer, to say nothing of Neo.
Well, now it's a question of what the police do when human senses simply aren't cutting it.
Heyo, Ivan, is it okay if I drop Michael down at the Order's Manor?
Ivan, did you notice the bird post?
Of course, thou must at least add a reaction to the birdie! Or something. To be fair, I have no idea.
I see Neo does not have the best reading comprehension, as I did not imply one of the options in my question excluded the other. :P
I kid.
I don't know if it'll be a big issue, to be honest. I mean, since the original Velvet Room has been run over by porn anyway, I don't think it'd take away from it at all. Plus I think people mean they'd use it for goofier interactions than would be allowed in IC. So I don't think it'll be an issue.

Guys, I might not be able to post for a while... a long while or a not so long but still kinda long while. How long, even I do not know, but I won't be posting regularly, hell, I might be posting at an even slower rate than Moon, if it's a good day I might post once or twice at most. what should happen? Do I go out puck style, or will you be able to handle a much much slower post rate of mine?
I also am not too sure if I'll be much on skype, if you do have something to tell me, do so by PM or something.
Umm...Ivan?
Michael didn't draw it as a 12-foot long staff. It was a stick he could fit in his palm. The thing can go from that tiny stick to either an 8-foot long staff or a 12-foot long staff at will. Besides, where the hell would you fit a 12-foot long staff on your person?
Sorry for not clarifying, but the staff extends/retracts too quickly for that.
Mike, my joke referred to the fact there is not only one more Shirou, but now one more Sakura.
Now, for Vanguard, I really have no idea what to do to make him go afk for the while, so I ask, which is better? That I keep posting with him normally but keep you waiting real slowly, or have something immediate happen to incapacitate him till I am able to resume normally and not keep ya fellas waiting.
Sorry for not clarifying, but the staff extends/retracts too quickly for that.
Even then, you still could see being drawn out and being prepared to be extended. And even if it was nigh-instantly, it would still be extended in such a way that it the two ends would grow, instead of one end just growing. Because if it did the latter, Michael would be at a disadvantage.
...Ivan, you do realize that Neo should have been sent flying, unless he has the kind of grip strength that lets you resist being basically ragdoll'd, right?
Then he shouldn't have still been holding onto that staff before Michael retracted it.
...Ivan, basic physics. Neo isn't holding onto that staff when Michael is swinging it and Neo around with Neo basically ragdolling.
He did that after swinging it around to shake him off/bash him into any nearby environmental objects.
...Ivan, basic physics. Neo isn't holding onto that staff when Michael is swinging it and Neo around with Neo basically ragdolling.
Fair point. I suppose physics got thrown out the window when Neo grabbed a nigh-instantly extending staff pointed at him, but ah well. I can work with this anyway.
Well, I have some complaints now.
How come Michael could quickly grab Neo's wrist to make him let go of the flask, when Neo quickly broke the flask by hitting it in the staff? Even if he has some sort of nigh-precognition, the very action of breaking a flask by hitting it in a nearby hard surface isn't directly threatening at all.
Then why did you refer to the shooting method that results in one's aim being thrown off? This was on you, buddy.
I mean, I'd think Yukina would specifically know to squeeze the trigger as opposed to pulling it.
Also, she's going to miss anyway. Just not by as much in this case.
When he rushed towards Yukina and disarmed her, I felt like that was too fast even for him and didn't give her time to react. As if the whole thing is preemptive already.

In this case there legitimately isn't much Yukina can do to resist after having fired her shot. With the reinforcement in place Michael is top-tier supernatural, meaning that even readjusting her aim for another shot will be enough time for Michael to get close.
That said Panda it's usually a good idea to talk such things out between you two if you're going to smash another character around without even the chance of a comeback.
...did you even read the sheet? Michael is pretty much a textbook Blood Knight. He loves to fight. Also, at no point during this is he actually angered. Annoyed, yes, but not angered. And why the hell would he want to fight Yukina? She doesn't look strong at all, and doesn't carry herself as someone who is strong. No fun to fight someone who doesn't even look like they can put up a decent fight. Michael also offered Neo the first shot, and would have held back enough to drag the fight out if Neo had taken it. But no, Neo had to be all prideful and act like his victory against Michael was guaranteed. Thus giving Michael a reason to want to knock Neo down a few pegs, because the next guy Neo mouths off to might not be nearly as kind with regards to making sure he's alive afterwards, so Michael figures it would be best to try to break him of the attitude now.
As for his reaction to Yukina, she's interfering with the fight. If you'll look carefully, he's about to talk to Lorenzo about coming in out of nowhere on Neo before Yukina comes back with a gun.
Also, Michael has a natural dislike of people who resort to recreational drugs (combat drugs are fine), but all of this just added to Michael's already low opinion of Neo's self-preservation instincts. Can't fight back properly if you're drugged up. Unless that's just how you roll, in which case Michael is fine, so long as you can fight well.
First of all, not a couple of millennia, way more. Second, from what he's seen, Yukina doesn't carry herself with any sort of confidence, which is funny as while the Yamato Nadeshiko archetype is supposed to be supportive of their spouse/partner, they also have their own opinions and will not hesitate to make their stance clear. Silk hiding Steel, if you will. Yukina, on the other hand, lacks the Steel from what Michael's seen. No self-confidence = no confidence in fighting ability = no fun to fight. There is a distinct difference between humility and a lack of self-confidence.
As for the knocking him down a few pegs, that idea was first made when Neo refused to apologize, not because he refused to apologize, but because he basically looked at someone who, from Michael perspective, looked way stronger (pissed-off pyromancer swordsman vs unarmed stoned Alchemist at close range, I don't need to tell you how that would go.) and already looked pretty murderous and basically told him to go fuck himself. That level of stupid is not one that Michael will suffer for any longer than he has to. Also note that Michael tried to separate Neo from Lorenzo, granted he wasn't particularly gentle about it. But the fact remains that he doesn't like Lorenzo interfering with the fight. Again, he was about to call Lorenzo out on it, but Yukina tried to shoot him.
And yes, Neo was offered a duel. But the point is not that he happened to be high when the duel was offered, but that he would get high in the first place, when anyone could pop in on the mansion. And Michael wasn't ticked about Neo refusing to fight due to being inebriated, it was because Neo gave the impression that his work on that so-called pancea would be severely set back by a quick spar. (Look at it from his perspective. A few minutes to fight, Neo heals up with a healing potion, which Michael expects that he'll have, due to his knowledge that Neo is an Alchemist, and then Neo can get right back at that cure-all.) The way he put it sounded like he was making excuses for himself, which is annoying.
That aside, Michael was also annoyed that Neo was inebriated in the first place, given that people can just drop into the Manor at anytime. Someone far less nice could potentially end up also in the manor, and if Neo is high at this time, it won't end well at all for him. So yeah, self-preservation instincts are hitting rock-bottom here from what Michael can see.
And Michael also offered to level the playing field. Then Lorenzo arrived and scuppered all of those plans, so Michael decided to make do with what he could get and try to get Neo to sober up, which he did, before actually starting the fight (Throwing him out the door was to separate him from Lorenzo).
That aside, I see your points on the actions against Yukina and have modified my post to have him trying to disarm Yukina and take her down. Though, given that Michael is moving at High Supernatural, he's attacking even faster, and Yukina's agility is human, I doubt she's going to be able to do much about it, especially considering what Kat said earlier.
The first point is moot, although it begs the question for the human brain capacity. At that point, there would be a lot of details that Michael would have forgotten, disregarded or did not see in his life, even if he has a whole lot of experience that amounts to more than two millennia of experiences. In fact, this is the reason why I did not let anyone in the Order become excessively old even as immortals: Human brain capacity, as manifested by their maxim in the Order that you can never see it all. In fact, there would be so many changes in human civilization even at the span of almost 250 years (Rattus' age; Trust me on this because I did research on his whole background story and it was not a walk in the park.) that every experience you have accumulated, barring any human mental limitations, can be rendered useless by any technological innovation that supersedes a certain field of expertise you have. (For example, Rattus is an expert equestrian, owing to his experience as a Hussar officer from the start of Napoleonic Wars until World War 1. Well, there's a reason why he stopped being in the cavalry during WW1, and not because he feels like stopping.) But, I digress...
Second, have you not heard of anyone who weren't confident on themselves on some certain field, and then it turns out that they're actually so talented on it and only needed some shaking up? Well, if Michael has seen a lot in the span of more than two millennia and he has the skill to recall every single thing he saw or remembered, chances are he would have come across that certain kind of person.
Well, Michael did badger Neo on duel while Neo told him off on the basis of being high. That's not stupid, that's being cautious. Neo just particularly happened to be a person of that persuasion where he's dysphemistic regarding his speech, so I thought that's where it started. And again, Lorenzo pummeled Neo for that reason, yet Michael only tried to stop Lorenzo after Neo was dragged out of the Manor. That's already too late for Michael to tell Lorenzo to not intervene.
Yes, he has. He also understands that they're rare enough at Yukina's age (most people will usually figure out what they're good at by then) that he's not going to consider the possibility unless some evidence of this being the case shows itself.
Actually, looking back at the posts, Lorenzo didn't drag Neo out of the Manor. Michael tossed him out to separate him from Lorenzo, so yeah.

Lorenzo's post. Take note of the distinct lack of Neo being ejected from the Manor. Thrown onto the floor, yes, but not ejected from the Manor.
http://darksidemoon.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,505.msg28022.html#msg28022 (http://darksidemoon.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,505.msg28022.html#msg28022)
Michael's post, wherein Neo is tossed out of the Manor.
Furthermore, note that Michael doesn't actually start the fight until Neo comes down from the high. Once more, tossing him out the door doesn't count, as that was to get him away from Lorenzo.
When he rushed towards Yukina and disarmed her, I felt like that was too fast even for him and didn't give her time to react. As if the whole thing is preemptive already.
In this case there legitimately isn't much Yukina can do to resist after having fired her shot. With the reinforcement in place Michael is top-tier supernatural, meaning that even readjusting her aim for another shot will be enough time for Michael to get close.
That said Panda it's usually a good idea to talk such things out between you two if you're going to smash another character around without even the chance of a comeback.
...Ivan, how the heck do you design sheathes/blades that can resist someone trying to remove them from their sheathes? I mean, the only way he would have tried is by catching the end of the staff on the guard of the blade and flicking it out that way, so unless those weapons don't have guards...
Doesn't matter unless the blade doesn't have a guard. Michael is fully within his capabilities to brute-force it while enhanced.
Fair point, but this is for future reference. Also, while a tanto usually doesn't have a guard (they're meant for ceremonial usage/concealed carry), a wakizashi usually does, as it's meant for direct combat to some degree.
Might not be able to post till tuesday, work and other things are swamping me.
Sorry.
And apparently Adjutor is gonna get Anned.
Alpha Presence: Medaka's raw power, which humans perceive as either as a supernatural charisma and eloquence which inspires them to follow her, or as an overwhelming fearful aura that forces them to obey her. This raw power when sensed by animals inspires only pure terror. As a result, although Medaka adores animals, they in turn are frightened to death of her and will avoid contact with her at all costs.
Also because it puts an unreasonable amount of influence on other PCs if it's taken literally.

And Hamara doesn't?
Doesn't Mordred hold a grudge against almost everyone she meets though?
Also RIP David.
Didn't he agree to anything short of death?
I never approved the plan - I was simply going along with it because Elf did. In fact, I kind of made my dislike for the secrecy of it that added nothing to the RP known.
You can still evoke the no-kill rule at your leisure, but you also said you'd be fine with anything short of death but would bite back. My ruling literally changes nothing, since I already went over the sheet in private and all that has to be done is posting it so I can approve it as per normal.
I thought it was a senseless plan to begin with, and was simply respecting Elf's wishes on it. Given the authority to overrule it, I am going to do so because I think it adds nothing to the RP and I am not going to open exceptions on how to treat players for no good reason. The weight of the agreement is not on me - and if Elf did not want me to go back on it, she would've said so when she gave me this position yesterday and I mentioned my intent.
You do realize that this is not a real summon right? I thought those were impossible in Nexus, this is a Servant being brought into the Nexus just after a summoning and then confusing Kayneth as the Master and he accepts.
And yes I would reasonably say that a Servant dropping in like that is reasonable grounds that allow for a reaction.
And just overruling something that was in planning for such a long time is a pretty jerk move. It really does reek of just favoring the other side.
I've been thinking things through a lot, and after talking to Caster and a few other people I think I've made a decision in regards to my future for this RP and I think it would be in everyone's best interests if I stopped this rendition of Kayneth and stop posting altogether for a while.
It might be for a few weeks or it might be permanently but this non-stop bickering is helping no one and I hate making people bitter over something stupid.
As for you Yolf I do think it might help if in the future you try to lighten up the rules just a little bit and be more lenient towards people, this is meant to be a fun RP after all!
And knick sorry for wasting your time like this but Mia and Kayneth were a bad match to begin with. Though I do think you were stringing me along a little bit I probably could have put a little more thought into my posts to prevent the situation from happening in the first place.
I'll leave SHIKI as a possibility and I might redo Kayneth as well but for this particular rendition of Kayneth I'll leave up to knick's decision, this Kayneth is completely under knick's control from this point on. Get rid of him, take him over, turn him into a npc, give him to another player, whatever you want it's up you.
I might be back or I might not, only time will tell. I just wanted to apologize and I recommend that people try to lighten up a bit.
Cy'all later!
Don't come back.And praise the Lord.
Projection: Shirou excels at projecting items, especially swords.
Reinforcement: Can reinforce almost anything exceptionally well, including himself.
Unlimited Blade Works: After much training, Shirou has learnt to use his Reality Marble, although his lack of prana means it is difficult to maintain it for as long as he otherwise could.
The invisibility cloak... I talked it over with the other GMs, and I'm sorry but you're going to have to remove it. We don't think it really makes any sense for Shirou to have, among other lesser concerns.
Sense for Shirou to have. Read what I said properly before you start accusing me of not knowing physics.
That is much, much better. I point out however:
> Shirou can reinforce almost anything exceptionally well, including himself.
This is technically incorrect, as the only thing he's exceptional at Reinforcing are things that fit in the theme of UBW. In other words, melee weapons. Edit that and you're good to go.
Fate/Side Material - Encyclopedia: Reinforcement [Magecraft], p.058-059
Reinforcement [Magecraft]
An elementary spell that was extremely difficult to master.
Even though elevating the target's existence through the infusion of mana was the basis of all magecraft, due to the high degree of freedom and lack of concrete protocols, there were very few users who could reinforce everything.
Shirou of course was only a half-baked user who could only reinforce weapon-related objects.
Since Reinforcement enhanced the target's meaning of existence, knives would become sharper, food would become more nutritious, and maids would become more moe.
It was impossible to reinforce something that was exceedingly vague.
By the way, it was difficult to infuse another living being with one's mana, thus Reinforcement of another human was a spell of highest difficulty.
Thaumaturgy: C-
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.
You picked a strange way to phrase the edit*, but okay. Approved. Just, saying it's the one area in which he is competent is wrong because he is actually very good at the Projection of, again, melee weapons.
*I'm not sure if you're doing this on purpose or not. Did I tell you to change the stats? Because I didn't, which should tell you I don't actually have a problem with the listed effects of his self-Reinforcement. But it's still a fact that his Reinforcement is only above average when used on weapons. At any rate, he's approved now.
"Actually very good at X" doesn't exclude him being good at Y. :V
And that paragraph is just me expressing my exasperation at your phrasing still emphasizing his self-reinforcement (even after i told you to change it) when I didn't tell you to correct the stat increase the sheet indicates it would give Shirou. But as I said, it doesn't matter.
The mysterious helmet informs the boy of the obviously that this place was indeed Matou Sakura's house but also told him a little bit about the nature of the Nexus. Just as helmet was about to reveal it's name to Shirou it paused for a second. The boy looked at the helmet confused as to what it was thinking when it finally responded by asking Rider what was happening. Rider responded by saying she wasn't sure but that she was going to check it out. Since it looked like Sakura could be in danger the boy's concern quickly shifted to her.
Sakura dropped what she was doing and ran down the stairs with a rage and terror akin to that of a cornered animal. [...] “No!” She yelled. [...] as she tore down the stairs to the hidden basement. [...] she therefore darted around the corner and into the dark penetralia of the house without a second thought.Any of these should have been enough to warrent a serious reaction on its own, let alone all of them combined. However instead of reacting, or even noticing such clearly abnormal behavior from Sakura, Shirou didn’t even make note of anything out of the ordinary until Vanguard reacted and Rider left to go investigate. He was actually confused as to why Vanguard had stopped talking instead!
“Who!” She yelled at the intruder with acrimony, true malice filling her entire being.
The boy then rushes toward the woman he loves to check if she is okay. As he approaches her, he noticed Rider and Rin were with her along with someone who looked similar to him.
"Hey is everyone alright, I take it that person who looks like me is who all the commotion is about."
The boy was rather ammused by the idea that he'd meet two versions of himself in this crazy world in one day.
On a more technical note, I will be editing all character sheets that have not yet been adjusted to reflect the new attribute scale implemented by YOLF in patch 3.1.0. I will only be switching Supernatural and Superhuman for Incredible and Fantastic respectively, so if you think that the new clarifications on the scale warrant an actual change in the attribute, PM myself or another GM to discuss it.
Well, I think that it probably makes sense to set Rider to be all "Fantastic" stats, because otherwise we get into the "servant ranks" argument again, which YOLF specifically wanted to avoid.
Am I the only one who Skype has just up and quit for?
Knick, seeing as you managed to get on today, I've decided that if you don't post or give a reason for your absence by tomorrow I'm going to start skipping you with Noel.
are you fucking cerial pandaSepulchure
Sepulchure launched an enormous black ball of death and DOOM at the doughnut shop, which was annihilated instantaneously.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT SHOP REALLY DESERVED THAT, DIDN'T IT, SERVING THAT CONCOCTION OF DEATHLY GOOD PASTRIES. GOOD THING WE DESTROYED IT AND EVERYONE IN IT, JUST TO RUIN THEIR DAY!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:"
OOC: Sepulchure antag event start.
Shinobu
All the Vampire knew was darkness, then she was no more. Torn away from this world by a power beyond her imagination, a dark terrible power that would surely terrorize the citizens for years to come. However such matters was of little concern to those already departed.
And this, it seems, is why we can't have nice things.
So for reasons I've already stated in the Skype chat I'll be dropping PARIAH and the antag slot. Go nuts with flooding YOLF's inbox.can I flood it too
Race: human/homunculusWhat does this mean? The way you’ve described it in the origin is just a normal homunculi, really. If there’s a significant difference, you need to explain how and why, preferrably in other abilities.
Physical attributesYou need to capitalize the stat names exceptional. But more importantly, literally nothing he has justifies an Extremely High rank in magic. That’s reserved for the best of the best, the most ridiculous of the most ridiculous, people who had ridiculously powerful magic and are also ridiculously versatile. You need to rethink the rank you gave him.
Strength: Human
Agility: exceptional
constitution: exceptional
magic scale: Extremely high
Other abilities:This is really really awkward. Does it just mean he’s a detective?
Deduction: the innate talent of the "detective" made manifest and honed over many supernatural and mundane cases, the ability to think outside of the box and solve seemingly unsolvable crimes. Somewhat lessened in the case of mundane crimes due to a magus' common sense.
Magic Crest: the magic crest of his family, allowing for the use of spells his forefathers devised with relative ease; the Vogelsang family mainly focused on focusing the three elements of cold, wind and fire in tangible shapes; mainly finds use in elemental spears or walls, conjuring elemental "armor" was the ultimate goal of his family's magic research.Why is this under other abilities? It’s explicitly his magic, and thusly should be put underneath the magic abilities section. Also what kind of element is cold?
Magic: instead of continuing his family's research on elemental magic, Evan himself specialised in high-level structural magic, including an unusual expertise in structural analysis, which he can use to pick locks or find irregularities. He is also able to analyze living bodies, allowing him to determine many truths about others.
Aside from that, he knows the standard spells like strengthening and repair, as well as pure mana explosions.
equipment: Evan owns a quite peculiar Mystic Code, a mysterious trinket he picked up during one of his earliest cases and subsequently modified to be his personal mystic code: the "Nadel des Schmerzes", a syringe's needle that used to belong to one peculiar criminal; even without a syringe, it can inject several kinds of venom, drugs and even magic extracts that can cause various effects.You need to elaborate a great deal more. What the fuck is magic doping? How is it normal from normal doping? What stats does it raise him to? What are some of the effects of the syringe? Etcetera.
It can also be used to inject a magic "doping", that way turning a non-fighter like Evan into an extremely fast berserker; this doping, however, causes great pain to the subject and uses up their prana extremely fast.
Origin:Evan is the result of a regressing magus family secretly resorting to alchemistical means to "revitalize" their bloodline; using a homunculus surrogate mother, Evan can be described as a Magus' version of a designer child.There are quite a few spelling errors in this, and could use a great deal more fluffing out. This section is there so people can get to know and understand your character a bit, and I don’t really know anything about him other than the absolute barest of bones.
As a result of that, his magic potential is unusually high; as his body houses the homunculus-typical amount of high-quality magic circuits as well as his family's magic crest, allowing him to use a plethora of spells with ease.
He spent years at the Clock Tower at the behest of his family, however he was always more interested in solving riddles than in studying magic; again and again, he would descent into the bowels of London, follow his "game" of detective; sometimes he'd be gone for weeks before returning to the Clock Tower.
Eventually, he decided to truly specialize in the field and became an Enforcer of the Magus association, while freelancing as "magic detective" whenever he was'nt called upon.
weakness:as a beeing close to homunculi, he is very reliant on his mana; while a high mana pool is a given, should it be endangered, so would his life.How is he physically shit if he’s on par with olympic athletes?
He is also very reliant on his Mystic code when fighting, as he is physically very weak without it
Furthermore, despite his appearance, he is quite weak to women.
likes: interesting cases, cute girls, punk rock, seafoodYou could add a few more to both likes and dislikes.
dislikes: heat, licorice
Welcome back, Knick!
(hue)
Will Mordred feel anything unusual if she shakes Forest's hand?
I for one welcome my Discord overlords.
It has PC app. I don't have smartphone at all, yet it works splendid for me. Especially voicechats work so better.
Skype completely doesn't work for people like Nachos and Mandy. YOLF reported five crashes a day. It's clearly dysfunctional client.
