King Cosmos

Fate/Glimmering Oasis (F/GO)

“Ha, I can appreciate such boldness; one with the fortitude to become a Heroic Spirit must have such confidence in themselves.” Holding one of the thief’s papers in his oversized hand Fierabras read the announcement with some interest. His Master was missing, and she wasn’t anywhere close by as far as he could tell, the Servants by his side weren’t the ones he was supposed to be partnered with and he was somehow lacking the memories of why they were here or even where ‘here’ was; nonetheless the giant didn’t seem overly concerned with the present situation.

“It is easy to steal something when no one knows you are coming, to openly announce your plan like this is to invite resistance and opposition; to make his deed all the greater if he succeeds.” Letting the paper fall from his grip to flutter down to the ground with the rest, the Saracen took on a thoughtful expression; he turned to look at the sky above them. “Still, stealing an entire city? He sounds like a conqueror more than a thief. Arsene Lupin; an interesting man, but I doubt he’s the reason why we are here.”

The Singularities; that was something the Saber-class Servant still remembered. Something had gone wrong, had it not? Something that threatened the future of humanity itself?

The Master that was not his own, William, offered them all coats to shield against the weather while the Caster pulled out a book and began summoning familiars of some kind. Fierabras waved the offer away, not that he would have been able to fit his large frame into the duster had he wanted to. “I appreciate the offer, but I am fine. I am Fierabras, a Saber-class Servant; I’m afraid I don’t make much of a scout, but should we run into an enemy you can rely on my sword to protect you.”

Principalities & Powers

@Classy can I chase you for an answer to my question? I don't know about everyone else, but I'm waiting to hear back from you before I start writing my characters backstory.

How long has it been since powers first appeared in this setting?

One Piece Role Play?

yes! all those groups will still exist, it's basically > Gold Roger and we kick off the pirate age. So he died recently. So the AU will veer off course from the get go, but still allow for four emperors to fill the power gap in the new world, the shichibukai to be formed to deal with the waves of new pirates and the three admirals of course need to exist.

@Infichi

Okay, so is this more like a pre-canon setting than an outright AU, though it'll diverge from canon due to our characters actions? I'm mostly wondering about the status of other canon characters like Whitebeard and all the other major players.

By the way, I'm calling dibs on Smoker's Devil Fruit.

One Piece Role Play?

@Infichi okay, good to know.

How does this AU differ from canon? Did Gold Roger still kick off the golden age of piracy with his death and do groups like the Shichibukai, Four Emperors and Three Admirals still exist?

One Piece Role Play?

You said we can use whatever Devil Fruit we want. Is that only canon fruit from the series or can we make our own powers?

Principalities & Powers

Roughly how long has it been since powers first started appearing?

Principalities & Powers: Take 2

@Classy I guess I should ask what kind of tone you are going for and what the average power level is; I know you said "anything goes", but what's the base line for how strong characters should be?

Principalities & Powers: Take 2

I'm interesting in this. Is there an expectation that we will play heroes, or at least morally good characters, or would we be able to play villains as well?

I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

The combined assault from himself and Torrent seemed to have caused the Slime a great deal of pain, but the large creature had yet to fall and was evidently still able and willing to fight back judging by the fact that it was lashing out at the Lesser Wurm that it had just expelled from its body. With Digbie focusing on supporting and healing them and with himself, Torrent and Ash focusing on offense they would surely be able to defeat the Slime given enough time to whittle away at its health, but without knowing exactly how much health it had remaining none of them knew how long the fight would last.

Creating another Fireball between his hands, Oberon used Monster Analysis on the Slime again, hoping to get more information about the creature with a second use of the ability. He focused his gaze on its injuries where he had burnt it and where Torrent had torn her way inside it, thinking that perhaps he could see something like a health bar if he focused on assessing its current state.

As he used his analysis skill he used Mana Shape to reshape the Fireball in his hands, forging it into the same shape as his Mana Dart; long, narrow and with a pointed tip. Once it was in the correct shape he began to compress it, exactly like he had when he had first cast his Mana Dart through the rock back in the cave. While his own Fireball had merely scorched the Slime's membrane, Torrent's invasive attack seemed to have caused it much more pain. If he could make a spell that would pierce through this monster and penetrate its body before either expanding or exploding, it would surely be more effective than another Fireball.

When he felt confident that the spell would hold together, assuming it didn't just explode in his hands from the pressure, he launched it towards the Giant Slime from above, seeking to strike at the monster while it was still distracted with Torrent.

Action Report

Used "Monster Analysis II" on the Giant Slime
Attempted to cast "Fireball" as "Mana Dart - Fire"

Fate/Crimson Dusk

@vancexentan I'm just going to weigh in on this, because this is honestly a conversation I've been expecting for a while.

I, personally, wouldn't have an issue with writing in an RP where the outcome was heavily scripted so long as, and this is where the issue lies, I was part of writing the script and knew what the plan was.

You're writing a story, not an RP. That's been clear for a while now. You have a large cast of characters under your control, the plot is mostly pre-determined and you have an expectation for how things should go. You want us to write some of the major characters in a story in which you have almost complete creative control and we don't know what the plan is or what our parts are. And you weren't up front about that being the case. And I also suspect our part in things is kind of superfluous since you set up your cast to be able to handle things should our characters not be able to or if people dropped out, e.g. Monica being able to break the barrier and Anderson being able to see through the illusions.

You've basically confirmed that the outcome of the current encounter is already set in stone and that we have limited scope to affect what happens in the next few posts. I have no reason to believe that will change in later fights.

You want the Berserker brawl to go a certain way? That's fine, talk to me, we can figure out how the fight goes and write something cool, just include me in the process. Because with the way things are set up right now I know that I can't win this fight, or lose it, or do anything that actually makes a difference because you're controlling the outcome one-sidedly; and that's quite disheartening.
