Caster looked at this young man and smiled, before walking up to him with her hips swaying and kissing him lightly on the cheek. "I like a man who knows how to show respect. So tell me Robert, what exactly is apparent?" William smiled at Robert, "Caster likes you it seems, be careful she can get quite possessive." Caster shot William a deathly glare, to which he averted his gaze and turned back to Alysis. "Be careful with that card, Saber will vanish at the end of today and you will have to protect that card until you can summon him again. Caster's apple will be of great use, it can be used to give you a boost of prana or poison an enemy, use it now or later up to you, but be careful. Nikki since you are still undetermined you will be staying in the communal dorms too, look after Ms Woe, if she looses her Arcana card then you won't be getting yours from me either."Nicola pouted, "You are going to use what little power you have over me huh Bill?" "Well rather I'm resisting the power father has over me, to look after you. Plus the communal dorms are manic, moreso for someone to get an Arcana class on the first day of term. All the other first years and the Alumni will be taking notice." Turning back to Alysis, "Today you have successfully changed your fate and your life Ms Woe, for better or worse I cannot say, but I can say you will not be forgotten."Caster was busy talking to Robert. "So you want to join the war then, such a young strapping lad such as yourself, is it really worth being Master mage to potentially ruin such a sweet face, you could grow up to be a great mage someday, if you grow up that is, William there lost a leg in the fight with Berserker. But if you know who I am, and have seen footage of the past tournament then I assume you already know that, so what class are you hoping to pick up, it is rude to ignore a Queen you know." She said with her mischeivous smirk, you could never quite tell if Caster was angry at you, or just fucking with you, or really just indifferent with a hint of sadism, but more importantly how you responded to her initial actions determined quite how she meant them retroactively, so she wanted to see how this Robert would react.

Alysis rolled her eyes. "Don't worry. I can take care of myself. Anyone who tries to take my card will learn the hard way why I was confident enough to try and win it." She turned to Nicola. "Wanna swing by my room? We might as well learn were we live, since we'll be helping each other out."

To be honest your issue with the bloodlines is the same issue I have with Origins, why I am not using them anymore nor care for them. Most of my Eldritch bloodlines (as you put it) were created originally to not only have a source for the abilities of certain magecrafts and origins but to explain their usage and mechanics. Rather than having Origins appearing from nowhere or just be there (when they are meant to be rare as fuck) with a flexiable amount of ambiguity that allowed them to do anything as long as it was reasoned slightly. So I had rules in place like the Branson's/Sigurd's Gram RM for instance. Which made family based magic be able to keep up with some Origin level stuff. I admit I do do tit for tat, but I try to go around the issue, often causing a newer one haha.Like the Twin's didn't even have any bloodline powers they just had an extremely complex story and however out of hand I may have gotten with Avy and his stuff, he still only had Fire and Earth powers with clear restrictions. In this the twins are just the children of the priest who works as the school counselor. And I can't derail my own game really with my own crazy shit as the set up for this one doesn't allow it.

Haha yeah. I guess the twins never really whipped out the Lance of Longinus, so they never really were too crazy...though now that I think about it, that may be because the Lance was in possession of Mr. I'm-so-OP-I-can-go-toe-to-toe-with-Servant's Nero.

Teh, GoL, and I literally sat down and strategized how we could defeat Nero, because Joyeuse was too ridiculous. Not his Saber. Just Nero.

To be perfectly honest, it wasn't so much Maou herself that was bad, it was the shit storms Byrd kicked up trying to defend the utterly indefensible crap he was trying to pull with her.

Fate Arcana/Academy

That was the first game of my Online RPing career, and I think it will also be the darkest of days of the said career.

Fate Arcana/Academy

When we brought it up in the Hive OOC thread, actual PTSD of Maou happened.

The twins are fine, though my point about random eldritch bloodlines from earlier still stands.

I like them, and I thought the Arcana Alumni should be familiar faces for the cameo feel (and to save on character designs) :maybe

Its not that I don't like them, its just that everything associated with the Seventh War is forever tainted due to the sheer bullshit that went down. To be fair, the Jesus Twins of the Roman Werewolves power creeped fast and hard.

Fate Arcana/Academy

Since Berserker was brought up, I think maybe I'll bring in my Berserker pairing next.

Fate Arcana/Academy

Oh, he did give her the card? I must have missed that.

Fate Arcana/Academy

NO

NOT THE ROMAN WEREWOLVES

Nicola laughed at this, taking Alysis' hand. "I like this one Bill." And then laughing at Alysis' comment."I'm a much better mage than my brother, he may be stronger physically but I have always left him in the dust when it comes to magecraft. As a first year you did well, albeit against a mage who sucks as a mage and a Caster whose magic was nerfed, but I think we could be friends no?" Nicola asked before turning to Caster. "What do you think Grimmy?"Caster sighed, "Well I was trying to give her an apple when you rudely interrupted Nordica." "Argh, only my parents call me Nordica, and that's only for official family shit, or when I have been bad." Nicola responded.Caster raised an eyebrow as if to say, now was one of those times. A little further way towards the edge of the Snow Quad, another blond set of siblings, twins were watching and talking. 3rd Years."So Ella, what do you think?" Said the male of the two. "That Saber was good even without the use of his Noble Phantasms, if she decides to summon him using her newly won Arcana, it could be problematic, we can't allow the head mage two years in a row to be from the House of Hel." Said the girl."True facts, if it comes to it Berserker can handle him." The brother responded.The girl smiled and slowly a blonde man in blue robes materialised behind her, his eyes glowing blue. "Of course Gabby, our Berserkers are unstoppable." She said with a smirk."Unstoppable indeed dear sister." Gabby responded as another figure materialised behind him, the splitting image of the one behind his sister this one styled in red, even down to his eyes.

Aylsis laughed. "Oh yeah, I think we can be friends." she agreed.

Suddenly, she was hit by a wave of exhaustion.
"Forgive my rudeness, but I only arrived today, and I didn't get much sleep before then. I think its starting to catch up to me. If you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to take a nap."
