[OOC] Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

[Turboshitter]

So does anyone else think they'll have a sheet up by the end of tonight?

[1Charak2]

Assassin of Red

Hey wanna know what happens if we mix this poison with this one? Oh your dead. I swear the poison shouldn't have acted that fast. The more you know I guess.

Class: Assassin
True Name: Locusta the Poisoner
Master: Albert the squiddie
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Height/Weight: 163cm 58kg

Stats:
Strength: E
Mana C
Endurance: E+
Luck: A+
Agility: B+
Noble Phantasm: A+

Class Skills:
Presence Concealment C+ (rises to EX when she is under the effects of her noble phantasm)
Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. The rank of presence concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack. Attack condition does not apply to the act of poisoning something.

Personal Skills:
Herbology C:
The owner of this skill is effective at the cultivation and understanding of plant matter. In the case of Locusta, this primarily comes under poisonous substances, where she is capable of cultivating them even under the most harshest conditions.

Disengage: C+
Bonus effect of returning battle conditions to what they were at the beginning of the match.

Independent Action C
It is possible for a servant to stay one day in the world without a master

Poisoner A+
A skill that involves indepth knowledge about poisonous substances and their applications. At A+ it is also common for the servant to be able to produce these poisons at a relatively rapid pace from objects in the environment or produce them via magecraft. At this high rank the servant is also capable of reversing and nullifying the effects of poison on people as well.

Noble Phantasms

Name: Blossoming Death
Title: Grand Wilting of the Flower of Life
Type: Anti Unit
Rank: C+
Range: 10 meter radius
Maximum Number of Targets: 20 (any higher and their won't be enough toxins to guarantee lethality, this number can change with different toxins used.)
Description: Its cost is actually extremely low for a noble phantasm of its rank, allowing it to be used with little tax on the master as such she is capable of using it purely from her own reserves.

A noble phantasm that represents a culmination of her life as a poisoner of the roman empire and the effectiveness at which she did it with unnatural beauty, A large flower bud is spawned, it is around the size of a car horizontally when not in bloom though is quite tall, upon blooming it becomes very noticeable from above due to the stark colouration it then begins quickly spawning a large amount of airborne toxin (the effects varying depending on if it was treated with different toxins as a bud) that when inhaled (unless altered) causes heavy paralysis in servants, masters and humans alike. Continued inhalation leads to organ failure and death (The only exception to the dying part are servants as theor biology offers some resistance, this does not count however if the toxin is altered, They will then also Suffer the effects if the altered poison is strong enough.). The toxin has a short period of activeness in terms of the air and will quickly disappear after around 10 minutes. The initial source flower also wilts rapidly in the few seconds after blooming, leaving no trace of the activation of the ability, besides the dead corpses.

This skill is a double edged sword as it does not deviate from friend or foe (She herself however is completely immune to all forms of poison so it does not effect her). Though she is capable of rapidly curing those afflicted by it it.

Name: World of Poison, Toxic Domain
Title: Tainting of the greatest gift
Type: Anti Army
Rank: A+ (without prep) -> A++ (At maximum radius)
Range: From the centre, it has a minimum radius of 200 meters, to a maximum radius of 2km the time taken to set up varies depending on the size with the smallest being near instant and the largest taking a day or so to prepare.
Maximum Number of Targets: Varies depending on the size.
Description: Varying Cost depending on size:

A bounded field that recreates Locusta's ideal world, a world full of poisons for her to indulge and use in her murderous methods on the masses, This world is situated on top of the world, so the foliage and fauna produced by this noble phantasm are still within the shape of the environment. escape from the world of poisonous torment is difficult due to even the very air being a slow acting poison that slows down even the fastest servant. This slow acting poison causes death in around 5 minutes of constant exposure (15 if a servant). Locusta can also control who is affected by this field so it becomes an extremely potent way of locking down and killing opponents.

Secondly, Locusta's Presence concealment goes way up in rank, to the point where she becomes effectively invisible among the foliage and is capable of enacting a perfect surprise attack in order to poison or maim an individual so more toxin gets into their blood stream.

Finally, This bounded field can be sustained for up to 20 minutes, Its only prerequisites for casting is that the master has enough mana and she is given a few minutes to prepare to create the field, however once up it is capable of encompasses a lot of space in terms of city blocks. Dispelling the NP removes all traces of the plant and animal life. However buildings that have been cracked or damaged due other overgrowth are still damaged, making this NP a huge announcement of her presence.

Other:
Her hand weapon of choice is a common farmers hand sickle, used for harvest crops... and in this case lives

It may go without saying but she is capable of using poisons from the age of the gods. So don't think a servants enhanced biology is going to help them.

*dun dun dun*

Time to overthrow all great rulers and poison the royalty. Good luck to you kings, queens, princesses and princes.

@Turboshitter I've gone through and revised my master sheet as you've asked. I'll also be starting work on an Servant sheet sometime soon for an Archer based off Balthasar Gerard, but it probably won't be done before you've left.

Sonja walking out of the room after shattering the globe over Ayondale's head like:

[vancexentan]

It's Red not black but that point is irrelevant.

I don't especially like poison stuff so I'm going to let Turbo get the first word in. From what i see this could be troublesome to balance in some cases, especially in buildings, and melee servants are pretty much unable to go directly for her if they know about the second noble phantasm because then they are stick in essentially a giant poison bubble. Any masters who aren't directly powerful who get stuck in it are even worse off. But Noble phantasms are meant to be power so once again I'll leave turbo to this one.

@vancexentan

It's not that different from Jack's Mist, so it should be fine. Might be prudent to add something about how magi can use the principles of Resistance to last marginally longer inside the poison compared to normal people, but otherwise I don't see much of a problem with it. Servants wouldn't have much of a problem escaping from buildings anyway, given most of them can punch down walls with their bare hands.

Hassan of Serenity vs Locusta when

@1Charak2

I think there are gonna be a lot of times in this RP where she and Albert are gonna need to bust that shit out xD

This does raise the question though. Who is the best poisoner? Semiramis, the world's first poisoner, Locusta, the world's first serial killer (on a technicality) and official Imperial Poisoner, or Hassan of Serenity, the lady literally made of poison? Locusta probably has the highest body count even compared to Hassan, but it's stiff competition all around...

[Grey]

Hassan bodies all of them on account of that Poison Resistance

I take a fourth option

Assassin Gilgamesh with the original poison

@Turboshitter

Well lets put it this way, Semiramis is too busy mastering two arts. (dual class) so shes only pioneered the art. The woman made of poison doesn't put much effort into poisoning people. More of a ninja assassin girl really. And Locusta? Well she came out of nowhere to the roman empire and said fuck it, Lets poison everyone AND BE PAYED FOR IT. Seriously everyone knew she was a killer and she was allowed into the courts. So the best poisoner is the one that basically got to do it in plain sight.

Gilgamesh can fuck off with his prototype bullshit I'd like to see ancient Babylonians invent the prototype of a fucking musket gg

Hider

Not being serious, obv :P

@1Charak2

lol true

"You poisoned your husband, the emperor? That's cool. I poisoned an emperor too, once. I was so good at it that his son decided to pay me to poison a lot other people for him and gave me a shitton of money and land to do it too. Life's nice when you're me."

[vancexentan]

The answer is King Hassan.

[1Charak2]

edited: Added some clauses for master and servants to have a slightly less unfun time.

But if shes had time to plan you are dead.

[vancexentan]

@vFear I see no issues with Sonja I'll allow it.

As for Charak I will place my confidence in Charak that they won't do something dumb, and Turbo to make sure it doesn't happen and allow it to pass. I'm absolving myself of anything to do with poison oriented characters.

@vancexentan

It's a PvE RP, I doubt there will be any problems. Regardless, I'll touch up both sheets and add them to the character tab.

[Cu Chulainn]

I've seen that there has been an issue regarding youger Servants, so I'd like to point out that the "cap" for Servant Eligibility seems to be if they were born before the 1900s, since we still have some canon Heroic Spirits who were born before then, but were made famous of their deeds during this timeframe.

Of course, I'm not the GM, so it's not for me to officially decide.

@Cu Chulainn

1900 is about the official "cap", yes, however, Servants younger than 300 years are usually not worth bothering with, minus a few exceptions. They certainly would not be high on the list of catalysts Lord "Professor" Arieh Ayondale would be seeking, to be sure.

[Grey]

I believe that it's not an issue of timeline, it's an issue of narrative coherence. You don't bring the Clock Tower upper echelons to watch someone like Eric Bloodaxe fight Marie Antoinette; you bring them to watch people like Achilles duke it out with King Arthur.

Wait are the Clock Tower spectators in this RP a loosely-based counterpart of the existing Fate fandom?

EDIT: Oh hey I got sniped by Turbo. It seems he does live up to his name.
