[OOC] Fate/Eternum

[KoL]

Suddenly, I have the urge to make Hinami be a not-so-distant descendant of Siduri, just to explain why she was compatible with Gil.

[Raineh Daze]

Still pretty distant. :P

[VitaVitaAR]

Nanako is struggling with trying to build a relationship with her new Servant and also keeping her legs from killing people.

[DocRock]

Those are some killer legs.

I'll be here all night.
I'll probably have another post up soon, I have that essay, but if anyone wants to meet up with Serene and Da Vinci, holler. Haven't decided if the place Serene is at is near the corner store the bulk of interactions are at, or if its another store she meant.

I dunno.

[1Charak2]

reminder that Melt's legs are actually her 'heels' and she has normal legs beneath them

Thus outfits like this

Work great for health and safety.

[Rin]

@1Charak2Uh... It's literally a big part of her character that those are her actual legs.

The same with Passionlip and her giant claws.

[Raineh Daze]

@1Charak2 Also Melt has no feeling in her hands.

She's an asshole but kind of bad luck in that department.

[VitaVitaAR]

Melt is effectively a quadruple amputee and Passionlip can't perceive her own body as abnormal.

The Sakura Five have problems.

[KoL]

Again, I'll reinforce my statement that BB is trying to make a version of Katawa Shoujo were all possible love interests are Sakura. There can't be any other reason.

[KoL]

PS: It's actually pretty easy to see that Melt's legs ends just a little bellow the knee in the official Wada Arco illustrations from CCC. Which are best left in a link rather than image, considering Melt's "chaste and ladylike" outfit:

@clanjos: Okay, comments time.

I think my only real concern is, as usual, the size of that third NP. I want a sense of scale, first and foremost.
Rest looks fine, really.

[clanjos]

@PKMNB0Y
I figured something around 20 city blocks if it was manifested all at once. But I don't know if he'd do that, unless the city really needed a chunk of gold real estate.

[PKMNB0Y]

@clanjos: Y'know what? Let's go for it. Full usage of all that real estate, which puts an implicit limit on it going full Lagann. Accepted.

Personal Skills

The Talk of Paris
Rank EX
(When this Servant is in the city of Paris, this skill activates.)
Julie d’Aubigny was a controversial and highly regarded opera singer in the 17th century, and was the focus of gossip and intrigue most of her life, especially during her time in Paris where her name still echoes. Julie’s presence becomes intoxicating to everyone around her, making her all they think about; regular humans without serious mental protection become devoted to Julie, and will go out of their way to protect her.

Charm
Rank A+
Julie d’Aubigny was a gorgeous woman with the wits to match. Julie can get normal humans to do what she wants with a flicker of her eyelashes and few words. At this rank she can even give other Servants pause at her wiles.

Duelist’s Focus
Rank C
Julie fought and won many dule’s throughout her lifetime, honing her skill well past the finest duelists of her time. When faced against a single opponent she can begin sussing out their weaknesses within a few strikes of her sword. Should she be faced with more than one opponent however she is unable to focus enough to determine weaknesses.

Noble Phantasms

Passion’s Cry, Symphony of Wills
Rank C
Type: Anti-Team
Range: 25 m
Number of Targets: 1-5
Few opera singers can stand up to Julie’s bright, albeit short legacy. This one song is the sum of her life in one triumphant beautiful chorus that forces humans to flock to her and listen enraptured to her music.

Wiles of the Temptress, A Kiss Most Scandalous
Rank B
Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: N/A
Number of Targets: 1
Julie d’Aubigny was often the subject various scandals and controversy, the most talked of funnily enough was when she threw caution to the wind and kissed a young noblewoman in the midst of a ball resulting in no less than three men frothing at the mouth to duel her. She cared not for social constructs and let passion drive her. Julie passes this passion on to the person she uses this NP on. She embrace’s them and plants a sensual kiss upon their lips, if she’s allowed to kiss them for more than three seconds, Julie‘s passion becomes liquid fames being poured down the recipient’s throat. (Let’s face it if you're close enough she can plant a smooch on your lips you deserve death)

Appearance: Julie d’Aubigny will appear for the Grail War as an absolutely gorgeous woman wearing a fine crimson suit decorated with a fiery pattern in the style popular in France at the time of her life. She is graceful and fluid when in motion. Her skin is white as snow, her hair a wild black mane bound in a men’s ponytail, and her eyes pools of molten gold. She wears a slim top hat and carries an elegant cane with a blooming rose at its head. Julie carries herself as a noble man of her time would, with arrogant poise and utter surety.

Personality: Julie has no sense of boundaries nor modesty, caring little if anyone sees her in a state of undress, and often appreciating beauty close up. She does what she wants when she wants, appreciating everything life has to offer. Julie is defiant in the face of authority, often laughing outright when anyone thinks themselves better than anyone else. “I grew up in the palace of a king; he shat and bled as well as any beggar on the streets,” is often what she would say to any ruler thinking themselves better. Julie strolls wherever she goes, humming all the while. She’ll laugh gayly in the face of battle and has no shame in offering beautiful people a night in her bed even in the middle of a fight. She enjoys fighting as much as she appreciates beauty, often seeking combat out when she isn’t trying to get someone into her bed. Julie can’t sit still, and boredom is the bane of her existence.

Background: Julie d’Aubigny was easily the most interesting woman in the world during her lifetime. She was a vixen, passion incarnate. She answered to no one’s whim but her own and left a trail of lovers from both sexes in her wake. She was a whirlwind in her youth, traveling the whole of France with Sérannes, a friend of hers. She dressed as a man but made no attempt to hide her sex while she held fencing exhibitions or sang in taverns. While she took many lovers into her bed, Julie would truly fall in love with a young woman for whom she ultimately would burn for.

The years that followed she entered Paris and made her name as the finest singer in the city, if not the world. She won duels on stage and off, and was celebrated after a legendary duel of wits with Thévenard, a fellow singer and life long friend. Julie would again fall in love to the fair Fanchon Moreau. She was rejected sadly and tried taking her own life in grief, only to fail to die yet again. She eventually moved on and brought scandal upon them after kissing a young lady at a ball, caring little for the fallout. They won the three duels that came of it and fled to Brussels as they broke- yet again- the King’s rule against dueling.

While in Brussels she would remain in trouble with the law for dueling and assault. Then final years of her career would come about. She would, for a final time, fall in love with Marie Louise Thérèse de Senneterre and be with her for years until the time of her death. This would be what broke Julie d’Aubigny. After burying the third and final love of her life Julie retired her voice, traveled to Providence, and then died; from what it isn’t known.

Weaknesses: Julie is fine duelist, deadly even, but she is vulnerable to being ganged up on.

[KoL]

Didn't we already have problems with people apping broken mind control skills a couple pages ago in the OOC?

[PKMNB0Y]

Yes, that we did. My verdict on the matter stands.

My co-GM can probably lay out problems with the form on a more conceptual level (I'm more suited towards examining things rooted in east Asian history), but yeah, form's deffo rejected.

[VitaVitaAR]

@LukasVolkov: Okay so...

To begin with, you made a Saber and barely mentioned her skill with a sword. Which, notably, was extremely high: She was a duelist who most notably fought off multiple men in one of her most famous duels.

You inexplicably give her the ability to breath fire rather then give her any kind of sword skill or anything of that nature as a Noble Phantasm. You don't even reference the famous incident where she set a fire in a church to run off with one of her female lovers who had been forced to become a nun, which seems like a natural inspiration for a Noble Phantasm.

Her skills are barely related to her story aside from "was very well-known". The Duelist Focus skill actually contradicts one of her most notable fencing exploits.

PKMN already covered the problem with the mind control skill.

I'm sorry if this comes across as sort of harsh, but La Maupin is a really interesting historical figure and you've not really done a good job converting her into a Servant or in making a Saber-class Servant in general.

The current NPs need to be scrapped. She should really have some sort of sword skill, something like some of the Japanese Servants have, mentioned there. Perhaps something related to combining fencing and performance. And an NP related to the convent burning seems like a natural choice given what a notable part of her life it was. The Skills need a complete rewrite.

[1Charak2]

There is a single official CG in that shows Meltilith with legs going all the way down to just below the knee

Its Called Melts Punishment. It has the most awkward posing so Im not gonna post it here.

(edit I checked it goes below the knee and then seems to just be covered by up by the metal, so at most shes a below the knee Plegic)
So...

She has alot of actual leg all the same. Just thought people should know just how much 'organic' leg mass melt has.

(also turns out the legs are detachable so like... invest in some prothestics)

Meaning Ironically in that fanart image I shown, The Boots begin exactly where 'normal' organic legs end. Which means Melt can wear different high-length Shoes as long as they double up as prothestic legs

TLDR: Melt can wear different shoes as long as they go to just below the knee in terms of length and double up as prothestic limbs

[VitaVitaAR]

@1Charak2: She's still missing almost her entire leg below the knee, and it's important to her character that she is. ^^; She kind of needs prosthetic legs.

Also the picture you're talking about was posted earlier to show her legs end pretty high up. ... Also if you look at how her legs are designed, there's no room for feet or lower leg in them.

... Also prosthetics were literally being bought in my last post, which is part of the process of making sure Melt's original prosthetics don't kill people. ^^;

[1Charak2]

@VitaVitaAR

I know I was just saying she can change legs.. from knives to normal

Which was my entire point.

(that and her knee exists which means she has organic knee bending thank god)

So to quote myself from earlier with the small semantic error corrected

reminder that Melt's legs are actually her 'heels' and she has normal legs (that end just below the knee) beneath them

TLDR: I made the most minor of semantics when it came to sentence structure and birthed an arguement out of something I knew the truth about already, when all I wanted to do was offer a good melt fanart and join in.
