@Parallel Hearts@Reflection

Alright...here, finally, is my Master character!

As for his Superior Boon, I was trying to find what category it might fit in. In the end I just put it as it is, and will see what you feel it should better be labeled as! :P

Edit: Reworked my master app, and hope it works better than my first idea! :)

Name\Title: Johann Maximilian Wald

Age: 19

Appearance: https://i.imgur.com/FXWNpL8.jpg

Short Bio/Synopsis:

A young man who was raised for the first years of his life in a rigid and strict upbringing, with the aim to forge him into the next Family Head who would continue forward towards their long-held dream. When he was sent to the Clock Tower, he ended up breaking free some and becoming a stoner who took on a relaxed, casual, and at times carefree attitude. Despite this, however, he did keep a focus on practicing his magecraft and proved to have an incredible potential and natural talent. He ultimately came into a certain Lord's class in Modern Magecraft Theory (Lord El-Melloi II), but did take some other classes in the Folklore and Creation Departments as well to supplement. In short, he was a rich kid from a strict home who broke out and ‘went wild’ after he finally got out and away from his old home life.

However in his "main" class, or the one he spent the most time hanging around his peers from, he ended up picking up on a casual gaming habit and striking up a friendship of sorts with a “certain supremely talented idiot” after gaming with him sometimes for a while. Yet the biggest surprise for himself and those who know him, however, was when he eventually received a letter about this “True Holy Grail War” and received actual Command Seals. After Johann received the letter inviting him to the Holy Grail War in Black Rock, he was sent plenty of supplies and even a Superior Mystic Code for use in the conflict by his family. However, this came with the catch of an order: "Stay alive no matter what, but if you can win then use the Grail to acquire the Primeval Runes".

Magecraft: Any important details relating to your character's magecraft skills. This can include, but isn't limited to their family crest (if they have any), their magecraft foundation, any signature spells, sorcery traits (especially Mystic Eyes, if they have any), and a general overview of how good a mage they are.

-General Magecraft

-Freischießen ("free shooting"): A magecraft revolving around the creation of various types of magic bullets that are “destined to hit their target” (basically pretty good magic homing bullets). In the case of the Wald this unique magecraft was acquired hundreds of years ago in the 14th century, when a past family heir made a pact with an unidentified monstrous being for magical knowledge. Instead he got knowledge on this magecraft, though, which was ultimately incorporated into the Wald Family due to him being far too stubborn to let the matter go. Since then it has become a time-honored art among the Wald, with runes incorporated onto these magic bullets and their casings to add a further depth of use to their craft.

-Runes: One of the Thaumaturgical Systems that originated in Scandinavia during the Age of Gods, and are symbols that, once inscribed, automatically realize mysteries accordingly with the meaning that they represent. They are composed of only straight lines and have similar mechanics to the Magic Crests. Can be used in combination to enact other effects, including creating Bounded Fields.

-Elemental Magecraft (Fire, Earth)

-Family Crest: 900 years old

Mystic Codes: A wizard's tools. Make a mention of any important mystic codes your character may have with them, as well as their main functions. Generally speaking, no sane mage would leave for a Holy Grail War (or leave home at all) without bringing a few tools with themselves, so keep this in mind while building a character.

-”Mjolnir and Gungnir”: A pair of custom guns he possesses, either through acquiring them or them being handed down. They have each been designed and modified to be “one of a kind” and be most compatible with the family’s magecraft. Their components have been treated with magecraft as well to boot, and runes have been engraved on them to silence their shots and minimize recoil to boot.

***Custom Engraved Mauser C96 “Broomhandle” Pistol: A unique and very well-maintained pistol manufactured for a past head of the Wald family, it is engraved with unique wilderness and hunting designs on both handles. It originally chambered 9x25mm Mauser ammunition, but has been modified to be able to switch out barrels and fire a .357 Magnum round. It has a gold-colored plated exterior to boot, though it has been balanced out for actual use.

***Custom Calico M950 Semi-Automatic 9mm Pistol: A customized gun, utilizing 100 round helical magazines, a unique 5.5 inch barrel, and boasting a custom-shaped handle to ensure easier handling and to balance out the gun’s weight properly with the unique barrel.

Misc/Other/Trivia: Anything else not covered by the sections above that you may judge to be relevant (like an unhealthy obsession, an important secret, a very strong goal, their personal ethos, etc). Please keep this section short as well. Preferably have this in bullet point format, if there's any information to add.

-The Wald Family: A very old family of German magi who are the current owners of the spiritual land of Tirier, which has been the oldest and longest inhabited city in Germany for over 1,300 years. Likewise the family itself is rather old to boot. Wielders of Runes, they have long kept up the practice of their art and acquired a rather sizable library of them to use. They even eventually acquired a unique gun-related style of magecraft, one which they ultimately found to be compatible with their magecraft as well as complimentary to their combat style in an ever-changing world.

Their grand goal has, as it has ever been, to find and collect a set of each of the Primeval Runes in order to use them to form a path to the Root. To this end the search for, acquisition/collection of, and storage of various these and things like Primeval Rune replicas are all seen as key to the family’s goal and are very actively sought-after.

The Wald have multiple children per generation as well. While one will naturally be the heir and learn magecraft, however, the rest live normal lives and are resources for strategic marriages, redundant backups, undertaking searching efforts around the globe, and other similar roles that can be used to get the family closer to their goal.

-Suitcases of Supplies: Include plenty of prepared magic bullets, money, clothes, a pair of subtly purchased Mystic Eye Killers from a certain mage for self-protection, packs of joints and lighters he added to it all, an advanced first aid kit, and other things generally needed to stay and get by day to day in an isolated place such as Black Rock for the duration of a Holy Grail War.

Special Boon: Safehouse - His family has ahead of time set up a place for him to stay during the course of the Holy Grail War, stocked with mundane food and water and even a proper bounded field.

Short Bio/Synopsis:

A young man with great talent and wit, yet despite being afflicted with leprosy rose to the throne of the Kingdom of Jerusalem at the young age of 13. Despite his condition, however, his character and status did not impede him in inheriting the throne. He was also both a wise king as well as a skilled military commander. He was a dynamic figure in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, despite the factionalized nobles seeking to use his sister and mother to get control or authority over the throne, and managed to keep the great Saladin at bay during his kingship. Despite needing help to put on armor and mount his horse by the time he fought at the infamous Battle of Montgisard, he had an incredibly keen mind and piously led his troops from the front without fear. No matter how many times he sought a regent to lead as his condition worsened, however, he continued to return and perform better himself when they all proved ineffective, indecisive, and otherwise as failures.

Despite his victories and keeping the Kingdom of Jerusalem together, the lack of European support against Saladin (or seeing him as a greater danger), issues among his allies with each other, and internal political factions vying for power weakened his nation regardless. Even so he kept on, faithful and determined until the end to lead his people. To try to keep order after his passing he even set his young and sickly nephew, Baldwin V, as his heir while setting out conditions for inheritance if his heir died.

Yet it would be with his and his nephew's deaths, and his ill-fitting sister and brother in law defying succession to seize control of the throne, that the Kingdom of Jerusalem would ultimately fall for good.

Stats: Your ranks in STR, END, AGI, MAN, LCK, and NP. They can range from E to A (very rarely EX), as normally, and have any modifiers you judge necessary, as long their triggers are logical and everything is explained within reason.

STR: B

END: B

AGI: B

MAN: D

LCK: B

Class Skill:

Magic Resistance: C

-grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.

Riding: B

-is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding.

Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in, for they are no exception. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts. Baldwin was noted in life to be an adept horseman, even when his condition left him needing help to get up on his horse eventually.

Personal Skills: Limit of 3 for OC Servants unless a really good explanation is made. The instructions on rank are the same as above.

Protection of the Faith: A

-Is a Skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is the absoluteness of one’s body and mind that was born from their beliefs. But if it is too high, it causes abnormalities in the personality.

Baldwin was an individual who throughout his life was a very devout Christian, an individual known especially for his indomitable faith and bravery. He kept fighting to preserve his nation and the Holy Land from the Saracens and other enemies without and within for Christianity, even to the point he was being carried into battle on a litter to command his troops despite his deteriorating body.

Military Tactics: C

-Baldwin was a strong enough commander and military leader to have been a rival of Saladin during his short life, both defeating and driving his foe off multiple times to keep his dying kingdom alive. Such was Baldwin’s skill that Saladin even withdrew his forces from a siege when a debilitated and litter-bound Baldwin came leading a relief force. He was also wise in military matters for someone his age, from recognizing Saladin as the largest threat to his kingdom and other Christian holdings in the Middle East to even his move to try to organize an attack on Saladin’s power base in Egypt before it was too late.

Leprosy: -

-The condition of being a leper afflicted with leprosy. As a servant skill it is similar to “Battle Continuation”, but in this case just removes the sensation of pain and allows one to continue to fight and battle regardless of injuries. However, this skill does not grant any form of “higher vitality” nor “reduce mortality rate from injury”. It does not embody any sort of “ability to survive” either, but rather is the ability to push one’s damaged body to ruin.

Any healing the servant receives is also reduced by twenty five percent. However, unlike in life he does retain the usage of his arms and legs as a Servant due to being summoned in his ‘prime’ physical state.

Noble Phantasm:

True Name/Title: Crucem Auream, “The Holy Sun of Victory”

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Army

Range: 1-50

Maximum Number of Targets: 700

Description: A radiant golden blade which gleams like the sun, with a golden cross (containing a fragment of the True Cross inside) incorporated as the hilt of it. This weapon is the crystallization of Baldwin IV’s victory and his “calling upon the power of God to smite his enemies” at the Battle of Montgisard. At the titular battle, after bringing out and praying before this titular golden cross it “[shone] as brightly as the sun” and Baldwin slaughtered the far greater and stronger Saracen army...and very nearly killed Saladin in the process.

Baldwin as a servant thus once again wields this divine power he prayed for against the Saracens in life, and the holy relic from which it came forth, as his weapon as a servant.

The young king can activate this Noble Phantasm by speaking its name verbally in some manner, whether quietly like a prayer or even louder like a battle cry, unleashing a surging wave of radiant holy light “as [bright] as the sun” to destroy his enemies. The attack itself spreads out in a conical pattern, being at its thinnest at the point from which it was launched (Baldwin’s sword) but very quickly and exponentially widening as it moves forward.

Misc/Other/Trivia: At the Battle of Montgisard this golden cross was brought out and raised at the behest of Baldwin IV, who prostrated himself before it and prayed for victory. When he and his troops then attacked the Saracens, the following occurred: “The young king with his hands bandaged, rode in the forefront of the Christian charge – with St. George beside him, people said, and the True Cross shining as brightly as the sun.” Not only was it Baldwin’s greatest victory, but it was also a miracle in and of itself.

Literally speaking, Baldwin called upon and wielded the power of God in order to smite his enemies and achieve victory over Saladin and his forces. This is the form this Noble Phantasm takes in return.

Hey there. Interested in this, mind telling me which classes are available as of now? I've some ideas for either a Caster (Newton) or a Berserker (Pizarro, Diogenes, Don Quixote), albeit I can whip out some others if needed.

@Sylph de Graaf

The Chad Diogenes vs the Virgin Plato.

"Behold, a man!"



Jokes aside, those all sound like interesting or fun Berserkers at the very least! :D

Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

The Eldritch Party Girl Patron

You Rang, Besties?

Type: Horror (Greater Horror)

Name: Cthulhu

Personality: Untold millennia of knowledge and understanding, maddening levels of raw magical power that makes even other Greater Horrors quake in fear, and a legend that even among humans is better known than many…all wrapped up in the body and personality of a friendly, super humanophile, happy, annoying, and ditzy party girl. She is happy to help her friends, enjoys finding and making new 'besties', loves to party and play about like a wild child, and beyond terrible spending habits and annoying behavior isn't honestly a threat to humanity at large.

Though while this is her up front, do not be fooled...she may walk among mortals, she may sound like an idiot party girl, but when she gets truly serious or angry she is very far from something to ever want to mess with. It is there that those unfortunate will witness the true might of the lord of The Sunken City, the wrath a true eldritch horror from beyond reason, and the ire of an abomination beyond anything mortals can comprehend. Beware, beware, the might of the dread lord Cthulhu!

Appearance:

(Current Avatar) https://i.imgur.com/sKeNDZl.jpg

(True/Real Body) https://i.imgur.com/bfCjMub.jpg

History: An ancient being originating from an ancient and powerful race from far beyond the stars, a malignant Greater Horror of solar scale that in its youth sought to seize the Earth in particular and create a civilization in its own image upon the land and waters. It fought off other Horrors seeking to pierce into its territory on the then-prehistoric Earth, took on the Gods, and founded the ancient city of R’lyeh from which it began to build its own civilization in prehistoric times. Despite its war against a large assembly of Deities, and in the final struggle an alien deity descended upon her as the great meteor that destroyed the dinosaurs.

The end result was not the Horror’s death, but rather her main body being put into a hibernation-like sleep before being interred within R’lyeh and sunk deep underwater/underground beneath what is now in modern times the South China Sea. Down there her lingering people slithered, at least the scant remnants of what once a people, along with other strange creatures, some early 'prehistoric humans', and even some aliens that had migrated to worship her with great reverence.

From beneath the waves Cthulhu slept, though far from ‘actually dead’ Cthulhu's mind began to wander about and examine the planet as it changed. She became ever the more curious about humans, proper ones especially, as they rose up and dominated the planet by modern times. She even over the years visited some humans in their dreams to speak to them, and talk to them to try to understand them. Her curiosity in time grew into affection, and from an affection into a deep-seated and genuine love of humanity and its civilization upon the face of the Earth.

Though among those she talked to was included a ‘certain dreamer’, who took what he’d learned about Cthulhu’s ‘embarrassing edgy teen years’...and then published it with some twists, removals, and embellishments to become a famous author. The Greater Horror was an amount offended by this, especially as it began to cause a rise in 'crazy cultists', but also ultimately decided that she had to step in more directly. To better ‘be’ among humans and appreciate them, she projected her mind and had it take on a human-shaped avatar/container! Though despite becoming a sort of caring patron of humanity, even if from the sidelines on occasion, she also ended up a rampant humanophile and ditzy ‘party girl’ who’d help magical girls and even other groups like the deities she once fought so long ago.

What a twist.

Resources: Being a Greater Horror and the legendary Cthulhu, she had continued to accrue a wealth of resources that she is capable of providing or drawing upon. This includes an immense amount of wealth, magical girls/boys, magical coins, genuinely good followers, spawn, and other such general resources. Though this also does in the end include ‘pesky pseudo cultists’ who arose due to the work that ‘certain dreamer’ and one or two other ‘crazy assholes’ whom she holds a special loathing for even now.

Additional Info: She still talks to properly sane humans, having connections in the mortal world, and even has some legitimate worshippers out there she does give some guidance to in order to keep them from ‘acting like lunatics’. The Sunken City itself is also a magical hub of activity for many of those who work for her or as her magical girls/boys especially. It is ultimately a full-fledged city down there, of course, though there is a solid party culture that rises up when Cthulhu herself visits with her avatar.

-She allows many other patrons to help her ‘clean up the crazies’ as they pop up (as she puts it). Because after a long time of trying to suppress them (with great exasperation at the task), ultimately, is a task that became too bothersome. These only also ever increase her irritation with 'that dreamer' who she holds 'slandered her and created stupid cultists' with his work in the end. Yet she still does perform ‘cleanup work’ from time to time, naturally, as a way of trying to keep things orderly. Of course it has taken a long time to convince many others of her sincerity, and while she's had a level of success it's not like she has reached everyone either…all in due time, eh?

-She has also worked with the local Beacon Branch in Hawaii a few times, legitimately helping them on the side, though if asked about her or the “Honolulu Beach Vacation Incident” the members of that branch just tend to just sigh aloud in response.

-Her avatar's presence is not itself actually maddening or harmful to others, but even “The Infinite Abyss” has been annoyed to death by her to the point of considering her becoming literal ‘anathema’ to it.

Out of the chaos, a large shape seemed to be surging through the skies as it raced towards the radio tower...or rather, whatever radio-tower-like construction was sticking out of the ground now. As the figure came closer and closer, however, its size became more and more apparent. It was a rather large sailing ship, its wooden hull utterly stained greenish and pale like unto some kind of old shipwreck that had rotted in the ocean's depths. Its sails clanked with worn away rope and metal chains, whilst its ghastly white sails shone with an eerie glow.

Small green lights seemed to dance and flicker about its rigging, as if moving about in fey-like glee, whilst spectral-looking barnacles clung to its underside like a bad habit. Even its anchor hung up in place...coated in gruesome-looking grime and seaweed and caked layers of soaking rust.

However...

'CREEEEEEAAAAAAAKKKKKK!!!!!!!'

...What people were standing on the front of its bow were not exactly what one might call 'normal' either.

"YEH' FLYIN' MONKEH-KINDA FOOKS AH'RE GETTIN' FILLED WITH LEAD!!! GET OUTTA' AH' CITEH' YA' FILTHY BLOODY WANKAHS'!"

Also, there were several small monsters trying to cling to the sides of it for dear life as they fell off and to their doom one by one.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

A certain new presence would enter the destroyed area along with this ship, however, one which...was kinda rather familiar to the giant Horror avatar above.

"WOOOOHOOOO, THIS NEW BESTIE IS SO TOTES AMAZING!!! THIS IS THE BEST RIDE INTO BATTLE EVAH!!! TIME TO SAVE THE CITY!!!!"

This presence came from a certain girl that seemed to be with the visibly frightened maid and the frankly angry-looking pirate. There mere sound of her voice seemed to wax 'idiot party girl' to its very core, and yet the raw jubilation and excitement in her voice was rather genuine as well. Her twin-tailed gray-ish hair seemed to whip about in the swiftly moving winds that came over the deck of the flying ship she was standing on. Yet her attire seemed befitting for some kind of...party? Or like a beach vacation?

More importantly, though, why was Chtulhu here?!?!

"Lass, ya need ta' get a move teh ya' location! Should be close enuff' ta' get ere', but ah' gotta get ta' Amaryllis!"

"We are nowhere NEAR where Alicia is, I might not make it in time!!!"

"I'll get you there in a snap, bestie! I'm so happy you called me though! You're so much nicer than that big party pooper you got broken off of...buuuuut I think I'll hang with my new friend here for the moment too~ <3"

The gray-ish haired girl seemed to wave her hand, a black colored magic circle forming around Serenity's feet.

"WAIT!!! What about the monsters in the city?!"

"Eh, I'll bring in a few other besties I know to help start the cleanup~ Now go get that nasty thing and do your duty!"

Before the maid could say another word, she seemed to disappear in a sudden 'POP' before Sophia's very eyes.

"Alright ere', immah' contact Amaryllis an' tell er' ahm' ere'. Yeh can stick around if ya' want, but tha' maid lass might need ya' help dependin. Least' at's what mah' gut feelin' tells meh."

The pirate had a grim look on her face as she spoke, briefly glancing back at the shorts-clad horror. Her patron could feel it. She could feel it somehow. So many dead in one place, and it made her heart sink. She wanted to help protect this place, but...she hadn't been here to help. More like she'd been stuck holding off smaller monster groups in the city, before Serenity had finally found her and come aboard with another new friend of sorts. Then her own patron had come in to carry her about and help in this, citing something like 'oh hell not again no not again not another horror lemme come help'...or whatever that blasted creaking more exactly meant.

Horror or not on board, though, any hands to help with this work would be good in her eyes. Anything to stop this madness. Even if it was a horror avatar who was rather muted in appearance as compared to what was in the skies about here.

"No worries, new bestie! I won't get in the way! Do what you all need to do, k? Even ghosty ship here can do some collecting of some corpses to seal them away for now!"

Despite the avatar's goofy grin amidst all of this, Sophia merely nodded in return before messaging Amaryllis back really quickly. Her patron would be going about its grim task, probably to try to keep whatever other Horror was here from making use of them too. Operative word 'try', especially with a lot of large plant-covered beasts in the air!

When Amaryllis would get the pirate's hasty message, though, it would read:

'Got swarmed downtown and stopped up. Monsters everywhere. Finally here, Patron gave me a ride this time. Got a...strange new ally here too. Look for giant flying ghost ship in the skies. Don't mind the Cthulhu with me...long story.'

@ERode

---

Meanwhile, right in front of Alicia and the others, a sudden 'POP' would ring out in the air. In an instant a moving thing would fall from the ceiling, before crashing onto the floor with a loud 'THUD'!

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

@Flamelord

Lillia Minerva Pierce

Blast it all! She'd come here on the orders of her patron, who had noted something 'big' was up, but this...this was something else. She'd had no problem getting here, but as Lillia stood upon a tall building she looked about the death and corpses below. Frankly the arrival of another horror avatar presence and a zooming flying ghost ship hadn't been optimal either. Not to mention the other giant horror avatar in the sky. The presence of corrupted and monster girls.

No wonder this city had come into such a state...but this was no time to be sitting around either.

Anyone looking up at higher vantage positions around the edge of the action would notice a rather scantily dressed tribal sort of girl, a magical girl at that. She held in her hands a large and rather advanced looking greatbow, which she began to pull back as if to fire. Her aim was focused upon the large hornet-plant monsters in the sky, and as she loosed her first shot it rang out with a moonlight-like glow and might rush of wind as it zoomed towards its mark.

Time to try to help culling these pests for the time being.

@Parallel Hearts Hmm...noted! Perhaps it could be the reason his AGI doesn't go above B rank even as a Saber? If that would work I mean.

Posted! :D

Yey.

Though will Yinha be able to get the attention of our struggling isekai'd dragon girl? No idea. Frankly I am just hoping a 29 year old man in a 16 year old super sorceress' body might have his attention acquired by an amazing chest. Or her genuine pleas for them to leave. Either way. XD

By the time Yinha managed to get herself up, her angel back near her, and a 'Feather Fall' sort of spell out to get back down the tower to follow the crowd, the High Elf felt herself becoming a bit tired with the constant movement. At the very least the other elf man was alive, and awake at that, while the strange girl that had been up there seemed to ramble on about places that...frankly didn't exist? That in and of itself was something confusing to her as she silently listened on, trying to think back on maps and such she'd seen before. That and the strange terms that seemed to be in some other language or from some other place were odd as well. Argh. It was all so confusing as it was, and Yinha for a moment wished she was back in the High Elven Capital to get into the libraries there right now. At least she could put names to people better after all of that talking.

Though there were other, far more pressing matters to attend to.

Though as the masked man talked of leaving, and another girl mentioned Imperials, and the Lizardman talked of wondering who 'won', Yinha let out a small sigh. Yes. Between the undead and all of this, it wasn't as if she'd forgotten the situation...though it hadn't been on the front of her mind at least. You know, when re-surging past issues and a near dead ally and getting mobbed and trying not to die in a collapsing building were taken into considering at a rapid pace.

The sound of marching soldiers was also a big indicator of things as well, really.

Yinha walked over to Serafaye as she gently grabbed the woman's hands together in her own, after mentally sending her Guardian to scout ahead as well, before looking the odd woman in the eyes and ensuring she got her attention.

"Yes Miss Serafaye, you are a girl. I know not what this has to do with your arrival, but we must get moving right away before we are surrounded! So please, let's all get moving!"

Maybe she could snap the girl out of it with a plea to focus on the immediate situation here? Or not. She had no idea if it would work, but Yinha simply wanted to get her moving as well before they would all be trapped here. Then maybe they could talk about her confusion and things like...wondering why she was a girl? It was like this girl was from another plane, or had gotten memory jumbled by some kind of magic.

If Serafaye wouldn't come along, and the other's took off, the angelic mage was determined to drag her away if she had to! Innocent lives didn't need to be lost in this...enough were probably dead already anyways.
