[OOC] Fate/True - A Grail War Role Playing Game

[Shadow Daedalus]

I'm having a hard time finding a decent pic for Daedalus. Any help?

[Slime]

@Shadow Daedalus
Since he's an inventor he'd be a Caster like Leonardo da Vinci.

As for a picture it doesn't have to be an actual depiction of Daedalus like the ones in paintings and busts. You can just get a picture you find cool, it could even be one of a girl if you feel like gender bending him.

[Dawnscroll]

@Shadow Daedalus Got a few things that I think might work, depends on where you wanna go with it.

Daedalus

More of a technological, Gilgamesh-esque style.


More classical


Perhaps Daedalus, the great inventor sealed in the Labyrinth, was infact the Minotaur himself.


More Magic, fitting of a caster, than technical

[ManyThings]

21. Is it possible to destroy, steal, take, appropriate, eat, put out, bury, dodge, parry or in any other way reduce the catastrophic damage of the Gate of Babylon?

*summons Ea* Mongrel….

Would this apply to Zero's Berserker somehow? Or to Arty with Avalon?

[Shadow Daedalus]

I've been staring at my CS for three days now, and I've finally decided to swallow my pride...

I've never written a Fate based RP, and I am struggling. Please help. I can do the Legend and Personality myself, I just need help balancing his stats and skills...

[Dawnscroll]

@ManyThings Eh, to an extent. Avalon isnt a get out of jail free card, and Berserker's power only goes so far. Roland's miracle could bring him back after a devastating barrage. Problem, Gil has more swords than we have lives.

@Shadow Daedalus Show us whatcha got chief and we'll help.

@ManyThings

We all know GoB isn't perfect, but unlike in Zero Gil isn't directly involved in this war, so he shouldn't be too dangerous. Still, GoB is a storage, but it's finite and what comes out of it must be returned in order to be used again. If Gil doesn't feel like returning something, like in the fight with Gilles de Rais, or loses ownership over the treasure somehow, like with Berserker Lancelot, he can't use it again. It would take time to exhaust his supply though and eventually he might just blast you with Ea.

@Shadow Daedalus

It's cool, I myself had to copy an existing fan made Servant.

Anyways, since he's fitting to be a Caster, he'd have Territory Creation set as class skill. Since he was an inventor and not a mage this skill should be at B and allow him to make a "Workshop". Alternatively, rank A and allow him to make a "Temple" since he built a temple for Apollo, but I don't think it's fitting for him. He wouldn't have High-Speed Divine Words for the same reason despite coming from the Age of Gods, but since he has an ancestor that is a part of Poseidon and received Athena's blessings he should have Divinity at around rank B and Wisdom of Divine Gift around A, maybe even A+, due to his genius. He may also have Innovation because of his inventions and would probably rank EX.

As for his parameters:

Strength: E
Endurance: E
Agility: D~B
Mana: C
Luck: C
NP: EX

One of his NPs would be recreating the Labyrinth like Nero creates the Domus Aurea as an Anti-Army ranking EX. This would entrap anyone around him, including allies, and it should be rigged with traps. I don't think the Minotaur would be included as he's a divine beast that was merely trapped in the maze. For balancing issues it should only be used withing his Workshop and maybe require preparation.

Another NP would relate to his ability to create constructs worthy of the Gods as a Support NP ranking A or A+. This would allow him to make just about anything, maybe even things in the same level of other NPs. With this he could make gear to boost his or his allies' parameters so long as they use them.

And finally he should have a NP that relates to his wings since Athena gave him a pair of his own. These wings would likely not melt in the heat like the ones he made and would boost his agility.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Slime That is extremely useful, thank you.

[ManyThings]

@Dawnscroll @Slime I must have misinterpreted that rule, then. I took it to mean that GoB is required to cause a character's immediate unconditional destruction. Sorry.

On another note, as you might have guessed, I'm considering taking part in this.

[Dawnscroll]

@Slime ...honestly I just wanted a Fate/Stay RP so I could pit legends against each other, though I consider myself fairly knowledgable on the lore and systems. You, on the other hand REALLY know your shit. Teach me Senpai~<3

[Slime]

@Dawnscroll
Stop that, you'll make me blush ^^.

All I did was play SN Realta Nua versio, HA, Extra and the F/Z anime. The rest I find out in the wiki, which is still dangerous for me since I didn't read anything on Apocrypha yet and I barely started Tsukihime. I also have a very reliable Type-Moon guru as a friend.

If you need anything you can ask me, I guess, but nothing about Apocrypha obviously.

Btw, you should edit the Servant slots in the first page soon.

[Chotgoriin]

Suppose I should actually start using my account, and as a fan of Type-Moon, this is perfect.

Any Servant slots remaining?

[Slime]

@Chotgoriin
There's plenty left. There are no Berzerkers, Riders or Archers yet and there's room for one Lancer and one Assassin.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Chotgoriin Including the CS I'm working on, I think the taken slots are 2x Saber, 2x Caster, 1x Assassin and 1x Lancer.

You can take your pick from Archer, Lancer, Rider, Assassin or Berzerker.

I'm just telling you what's on the CHAR page, so other people might have other servants WIP

[Chotgoriin]

This pleases me. I shall begin work on a sheet.

[Chotgoriin]

Reading some of the other profiles, I have an...interesting idea for a Berserker.

Working on it.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Chotgoriin Awesome, we don't have a Berserker yet

[Chotgoriin]

Before I write out the background, would it be possible to get it checked for now? I would like to avoid typing out an elaborate background if it's just going to be rejected.

[Slime]

@Chotgoriin
Sure, let us see what you did so far.

[Chotgoriin]

My Hider

Brynhildr

The Sorrowful Maiden of War

Class: Berserker
Other Classes: Lancer, Rider, Caster

Parameters

- Strength: A
- Endurance: A+
- Agility: A
- Mana: B
- Luck: D

Background:

Personality:

Having been summoned in the Berserker-Class, Brynhildr is even more calm than usual. She rarely speaks to express her thoughts or opinions while engaging her opponents. She is a silent fighter, one bereft of the usual banter, as she boasts through actions rather than through words. Only suffocated, almost inaudible wailing escapes her lips every so often, broken by coarse words, drifting heavily between sandpaper and silken vice. Rarely, she'll laugh...sadly, yet ecstatically, for no apparent reason. Her words sound drained, exhausted and filled with an emptiness she could not explain even if she wanted to.

She is a person who loathes her very existence, not only for killing Sigurd and his child, but for feeling deep inside that it may have been the right decision. He had broken his oaths and forced her to break her own, yet she knows...she hated him because she loved him. However, her acceptance of these facts have crumbled over time, and now her insecurities, self-loathing and repressed rage dwell deep inside her. She wishes for love, yet believes herself only deserving of scorn and punishment. She hopes for salvation and forgiveness, yet fears she will be denied both. She wishes to forgive Sigurd, despite all of his betrayals, yet fears she may simply repeat what her heart once thought inevitable.

In short, a woman broken by love and betrayal.

Class Skills:

Mad Enhancement: Raises basic parameters in exchange of hindering mental capacities. In some cases, also seals away Personal Skills.

• EX: Rank-Up for all Parameters, but robs most of reason. In the case of Brynhildr, despite the high rank of this skill, it does not appear to rob her of her ability to talk, reason and express herself in a refined manner, and she remains capable of using Magecraft. However, her delusions regarding her lover Sigurd has been pushed to the utmost, causing her to think of any foe she perceives as Male, in Armor and with a Sword at hand as Sigurd. She is completely insane in this sense, viewing them all as her lover of yore in the moments he betrayed her, coming again and again to shatter her oaths and her life.

Personal Skills:

Divinity: The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not

• E: Though originally a Valkyrie, a minor Goddess of War, Brynhildr was stripped of Godhood when she went against Odin's will.

Riding: The expertise to ride animals and vehicles.

• A: As a Valkyrie, Brynhildr possesses a natural affinity for Riding. She was destined to ride across battlefields to collect the souls of fallen heroes, or guide the living to victory from horseback. Occasionally, she also participated as a member of the Wild Hunt. All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts. Not usable under Mad Enhancement.

Primordial Runes: The knowledge about Runes that come from an older eras. Those with knowledge of Primordial Runes can also make use of the classic Rune Magic.

• A: Brynhildr was taught the original runes by the Norse Gods, and was skilled enough in their use to teach even Sigurd the language of the Gods. Though there use requires sealing her second Noble Phantasm, she is an extremely proficient Master, capable of negating the spells of Caster-Class Servants and empower her already tremendous might. Her proficiency is such that she could theoretically erase the population of an entire city.

Mana Burst(Flames): A version of Mana Burst that infuses weapons with Magical Energy that imparts a flame effect.

• B: Brynhildr is capable of imbuing her weapon and armor with ghostly fire, as if moonlight itself was burning within them. It increases the destructive capabilities of her weapon and makes it more difficult to attack her directly. These flames are hot enough to melt concrete within two seconds, drenching an entire area in a sea of flames and even evaporating large bodies of water just from being invoked.

Hero's Bridemaid: Allows for the viewing of another Heroic Spirit's legend.

• N/A: It is only natural for one meant to watch over hero's to be able to see their legend. Seeing another Servant's skills and identity causes her to adore them if their legend had love in it. Unfortunately, due to being summoned in the Berserker-Class, this skill is no longer usable.

Noble Phantasms:

Brynhild Romantia: Until Death Divide the Two Apart
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: A
Range: 2-10
Number of Targets: 1

The "spear of love and hate" of Brynhildr. Rather than being a true spear, it is a manifestation of her deep affection and hatred towards Sigurd having morphed with the mithril spear she used in life. Due to the betrayal of Sigurd and the subsequent damage to her honor and reputation, it was used out of revenge against him.

The spear grows larger and heavier in direct relation to the amount of affection Brynhildr feels for her target. In fact, against some she harbors hatred for it would be rendered entirely unusable. Yet the more her affection for the target rises, the more she loves them, the larger and more destructive Brynhild Romantia becomes. She clings to her old lover, harboring an unbroken, unyielding love for him even past their deaths. Due to being summoned within the Berserker-Class, it is only usable on those who possess a property that can be linked to Sigurd. If she were to encounter such a foe, Brynhild Romantia would be several tons heavy, a flick of her wrist capable of rending space itself, shredding an entire street if she so desired. A single target struck by the lance would simply be disintegrated, while a structure like the Temple of Ozymandias would be shaken to it's foundations. In addition, it's destructive power can be further enhanced through the use of her Primordial Runes and Mana Burst to destroy her target completely, leaving nothing but ashes. Under the right circumstances, if her love is strong enough, it is said to be capable of slaying even a God.

However, against those she genuinely hates, it would have no effect at all.

Brynhild Komedia: A Journey to Shoel Only for Me
Type: Anti-County
Rank: A++
Range: 1-999
Number of Targets: ---

A Noble Phantasm that invokes the Goddess Freya and allows the Valkyrie to tap into her true potential as a demigodess. It reflects her deep connection to Freya, the Norse Goddess of Fertility and Love, as well as her own status as an incarnation of War and Death through Love. It also refers to her end, wherein she invoked her powers to destroy every last remnant of Gudrun's family while taking her own life in an immense inferno. It is typically bound by her Primordial Runes, increasing their power while restricting it's use. In the Berserker-Class, it is practically sealed, and can only be unleashed via the use of a Command Spell. It's brilliance conjurs up an image of Venus itself, creating a solid, flaming image of the celestial body in a declaration of dazzling victory that is launched at whatever may lie before Brynhildr.

It is a Noble Phantasm that requires roughly two hours to prepare, as it unravels the sealing by weakening her Primordial Runes and drawing from her core to invoke her power as a Valkyrie. This process slowly assembles a flaming celestial body, reminiscent of the planet Venus, roughly the size of the moon and scalding like hot lava. It is tied directly to Brynhildr, causing her to radiate intense heat, even beyond the norm. Though it will dissipate if she if killed before the preparations are finished, when fully formed it would be capable of whiping out an entire population, erasing a city like Tokyo from the map, while killing billions in the process. Needless to say, it is without a doubt among the greatest Divine Miracles and a true last restort, that would destroy Brynhildr's spiritual core if she used it. In other words, this Noble Phantasm goes hand in hand with her death.
