Can you please just let the actual GM address the issue? Especially when the things you're having problem with weren't mentioned yet?

Fate/Eternum

To be honest, by that logic Sinbad still has more claim to being Rider than actual /Stay Night Rider does. He doesn't tame the Roc or the Elephant King, but does successfully ride them in two of his stories. She just has the Pegasus get created from her blood as she dies without any contact with it.

PKMNB0Y said their only concern was with Leviathan anyways, and I'd be happy to address whatever concerns those might be. To give a better idea of it, the full blown thing is likely not something he could summon willy-nilly, it'd only be of use in the water and he'd most likely just use its secondary effects most of the time to give him an edge/weaker attack or an aesthetic effect/show off. Like the Roc, he's also a bit too moral to summon it in situations where it might cause collateral damage anyways.

I have another Servant idea that might actually be more fun given the setting...

Fate/Eternum

Getting the sense you didn't like the Servant. I have other ideas. One Assassin of mine might actually suit the setting quite a bit...

I can definitely rephrase the Master, it should've been a WIP I recycled him anyways.

Fate/Eternum

My Master, Mamoru Hayashi

Name: Mamoru Hayashi

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Appearance: a rare moment outside the wheelchair

Personality: Mamoru has always believed that with enough training, dedication and preparation any obstacle can be overcome. Despite his somewhat weak constitution and bookish nature along with the harsh admonitions of his family, Mamoru secretly dreams of being able to protect the weak and help others since he is often viewed as weak and helpless himself. So in short while he tries to come off as a cool and cynical rich boy because of his parents expectations, he's secretly kind, optimistic and somewhat childish underneath it.

Abilities: Mamoru's elemental affinities are Water and Earth. Despite his young age, he's been training as hard as he possibly can in Magecraft to use it as a tool for overcoming his disabilities and has been privately tutored in Magecraft by his family as well. As such he's been able to develop some interesting techniques, specializing in manipulating and imbuing items with Prana. He's naturally not particularly physically gifted, though to make up for this he's pretty well-read in addition to his magecraft and speaks Arabic, Russian and Spanish along with the city's other required languages.

His Magecraft has resulted in the creation of two specific things he uses most often.

Factory of Artificial Manservants-Galatea Genesis Mamoru's primary ability which allows him to create small familiar-like constructs he's dubbed "golems". Mamoru can see and hear what they do and they function off of a shared hivemind but because they are somewhat ditzy on their own, he mostly uses them for spying and general help around the house. The golems' real value is in their ability to form together into a single much larger, stronger, faster and more intelligent golem. Due to the hivemind coming from a ghost, when the golems are in their fused together form they are capable of taking on a human appearance and personality.

Defend Motion Enhance-Mamoru's most notable asset is his Mystic Code, Defend Motion Enhance. While ordinarily taking the form of his wheelchair, when Mamoru sends a signal of prana through the chair it forms a shield around him and automatically reinforces itself to become much faster and more durable, turning into something akin to a small, highly mobile tank, minus the artillery of course.

Background: Mamoru is the second son of the Hayashi family of mages. Despite both his disability and already being put out of the running for inheritor of the family's Magic Crest, Mamoru has always been determined to prove himself worthy to his family as a mage and a person. So as soon as he turned 14, he rushed to summon his very own Servant.

Fate/Eternum

Sinbad the Sailor

Name: Sinbad The Sailor

Class: Rider

Appearance: in all his pimposity

Personality: Sinbad wouldn't consider himself a heroic figure in truth. He's generous and charitable and pious to a degree, but he's not usually the sort who goes out into the world looking for wrongs to make right. He much prefers throwing lavish parties and occasionally getting to know people on the street while still living in the lap of luxury most of the time. That said Sinbad is cursed with an occasional irresistible longing for adventure and exploration of the unknown that drives him to go out questing after treasures and new experiences even if it risks his life.

Stats:

Strength: D

Endurance: C

Agility: B

Mana: C

Luck: EX

Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills

Riding: A

Magic Resistance: D

Personal Skills

Golden Rule: A-Even after wasting away his inheritance with lavish parties, Sinbad was able to make more money than any man could spend in a lifetime in a single voyage. So great is his affinity for riches that legendary treasures beyond the grasp of mortal men routinely fall into his lap, and even the worst financial disaster will fail to deplete his endless wealth.

Alchoholic Fruit: B- At this level drinking of liquor created or enhanced by the user is required, though the alcohol is good enough that sight or scent of it alone inflicts a sort of compulsion to partake of it. The liquor created by Sinbad out of discarded fruits was potent and delicious enough render to even a malicious ocean spirit blissfully drunk.

Charisma: C- Though his humble birth prevented him from ever ruling over a kingdom, Sinbad's vast natural charm resulted in him becoming a 'Perfect Merchant', easily convincing others to follow his lead on expeditions or provide him with aid or treasures through force of personality alone while maintaining pleasant relationships even as he takes advantage of others.

Noble Phantasm(s)

Name: The Earth-Shaking Sovereign!-Elephant King!

Rank: C

Type: Anti-Unit

Appearance: A massive black elephant with tusks tipped in golden spears and a highly decorated howdah on its back.

Effects: Sinbad summons the King of the Elephants of Sri-Lanka, a supernaturally powerful Phantasmal Beast version of an elephant, to serve as his mount. The fantastical pachyderm is surprisingly swift and unsurprisingly strong, capable of easily trampling Sinbad's enemies under its feet, uprooting whole trees to use as clubs or impaling foes on its lance-like tusks.

Name: Mysterious Moving Paradise-Leviathan!

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Army (Partial Form) Anti-Fortress (Full Form)

Appearance: When summoned in its full form, it resembles a lush tropical paradise island resting out on the water, a very small landmass but an island nonetheless. It is inhabited by friendly and physically beautiful natives, with a geyser in the middle sweet smoke occasionally drifting through the air. If one is able to peer deep enough under the water, it becomes plain that the entire island and its small ecosystem are resting on the back of a truly gigantic whale! In partial form it allows the fin, tail or geyser-blowhole of a giant whale to briefly manifest, or else summons sweet hallucinogenic mist, foods and drinks or beautiful servant islanders.

Effects: A synthesis of the most notable of the many dangerous islands that Sinbad encountered and perhaps a crystallization of his nature as an 'Explorer', if activated fully the Mysterious Island summons a truly enormous whale with a small tropical island upon its back. The native inhabitants treat Sinbad as their honored king and serve him while trying to entrap any visitors, and the sweet haze causes a mind affecting effect that makes it difficult to think clearly. The whale itself is a powerful Divine Beast when coaxed into action, but using it directly at more than a mild speed destroys the island itself.

The expenditure of mana required to summon the entire Noble Phantasm makes it impossible to use under normal circumstances and thus Sinbad instead calls up specific portions or effects of it. Sinbad can call up the Lotus Eater Haze of the Island to disorient and deceive his foes, and briefly manifest the blowhole, tail or fin of the Leviathan for a geyser of water or crushing slap. He can also call up phantasmal natives to serve his whims as well as a seemingly endless supply of tropical fruit products and beach-based meat delicacies, but these serve little functional purpose.

Name: The Rukh!

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Fortress

Appearance: A truly enormous bird of prey large enough to devour creatures that routinely prey on elephants and tear the tops from mountains to hurl them at its enemies. A single set of talons can easily hold a full-grown elephant or two, and at ground level the flapping of its wings can create hurricane-like winds or small tornadoes if it doesn't take care.

Effects: Sinbad's ultimate mount, and likely the most famous out of all the creatures encountered in his Adventures. Its destructive potential makes Sinbad reluctant to summon it. The Rukh is truly a Divine Beast representing the full glory and power of the skies. The Rukh is capable of destroying buildings in an instant, annihilating an entire sailing fleet in roughly a minute with little effort and knocking about whole armies with just the buffeting of its wings, though truthfully Sinbad holds it back out of fear of what it would do with its full power unleashed on the world.

Alignment: Somewhere between True Neutral and Neutral Good?

Changes: None

Dresden Files RPG: The City with No Name

I say coastal, with a river running through it into a harbor, plus some sort of forest preserve outside the city limits but nearby enough to travel to easily for spooky woodland adventures/creatures nearby to hide in and come from?

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

Is the Sample post something from the perspective of our character?

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>
I will quit the RP if that is even considered. Shit, I'd give up on Bekka as Wonder Woman and just draw up Vicki as The Question to protect her from that.

@Inkarnate

Well, I know what I'm doing for a character now. Anti-Hero Lady Arkham Vicki it is!

Ultimate One Universe - Year-One Style DC And Marvel Shared Universe

@Sloth are you just going to lurk or actually declare genuine interest for once?

@Inkarnate

I've been trying to talk him into it. We'll see if it works.

Ultimate One Universe - Year-One Style DC And Marvel Shared Universe

Just a heads up, I'm changing the backstory requirement in the app from one paragraph to four, just to give people more freedom to flesh out their characters. I wanted to curttail the more masturbatory nature that these applications lend themselves to, but given that this is a Year One game that encourages straying from the beaten path, it might be beneficial to enforce the rule but in a looser sense to help people establish differences in how their characters got to where they are.

@Master Bruce

So Minimum One, Maximum Four? Strictly Four? Or Minimum Four? Sorry to be a pain, just want to be sure I understand.
