Same. I can see the character image now but can't see the OOC.

Here's a power generator which uses the resources of the Weaverdice tabletop game, which is based off of Worm and created in part by Wildbow. It should help generate powers with more of a Worm-flavour than most generators.

@LostButterfly92 If we're doing an entirely new location, then it makes sense that there wouldn't be any canon characters at first. Some of the bigger players might show up as NPCs later on, like the Triumvirate, if it makes sense though.
I'd play an original character either way (maybe multiple if we need a larger cast), since I don't like playing canons, but I'm not opposed to someone else using existing characters.

Manchester, NH sounds fine to me.
I'd potentially be interested in this, based on how much free time I have and whether or not I can think of a character.
Personally, I'd like to see a story that was a little smaller in scale; something that didn't drag our characters into the huge events that happen during the novel. Maybe we could write something based around a significant but still somewhat local event; like if we wrote about what happened at one of the quarantine sites that led to the towns being abandoned after villains took over, or about a local villain war started in the aftermath of a big player or players being removed (like the Boston games), or a new villain arriving in town and making a big splash (maybe even a cell of the Elite looking to take over). Something with a focused plot and a small cast.

Thomas Gardner
Gathering information; it was a simple idea, but in practise something that many people lacked the delicacy or subtlety to do properly. Any bumbling idiot could find information by looking in enough places or asking enough people, but what was the point if you alerted everyone to your intentions in the process? The trick, of course, was to acquire the information you wanted without letting anyone know that you had it or indeed what you were looking for in the first place. When asking questions you often gave away as much intel as you gained after all; an adage that was as true in war as it was in the backrooms of society or the halls of the Order.
Thomas knew all this, he was adept at it, but given the situation he believed that keeping himself and his intentions hidden and discrete was going to be… tricky. An old English gentleman such as himself didn’t exactly fit in this small Japanese rural town, without even getting into how eye-catching his bodyguard was. Illusions, unfortunately, were not his forte, so unless he wanted to remain locked away in his workshop there was no choice but to expose themselves;.
Upon leaving his workshop Thomas had chosen to stick to the outskirts of the town, so as to avoid as many sets of eyes as possible. His destination was a shrine that lay near to the town itself, at least according to what sources he could find. With no other leads to go on his only recourse was to head to locations where he suspected the other Master’s might visit; the local shrine being the most obvious choice. The sound that may or may not have been a gunshot just now was also an obvious choice, but getting too close to whatever had caused that was something he’d rather avoid for now.

“Woah” As Archer’s first arrow flew his way Saber twisted his body in mid-air in order to dodge the projectile, narrowly avoiding it. If any more had come his way he would have been hard pressed to avoid taking damage in that moment, but luckily Archer seemed content just to reposition and prepare another arrow instead of pressing him advantage.
Okay, so he couldn’t outspeed his opponent, despite what his Master might have said. Removing his footing wasn’t going to work if he could reposition faster than Saber could cut the poles out from under him. Taking to the air wouldn’t work either, lest he make himself a sitting duck with nowhere to go. What were his options here…
“Keep him occupied, right.” If all he had to do was chase his opponent around and play tag for a while then that was fine, but he might as well try and push his opponent a little bit while he was at it.
The Archer was faster than him, but he was probably thinking that he wanted to keep the high-ground as much as possible right now; he’d started the duel on a pole and as soon as it was cut down he jumped to another one. Odds were, he’d do the same again and if Saver couldn’t catch Archer where he was then maybe he could catch him where he was going to be. Charge in like he was going to cut the pole he was standing on, then change directions when Archer jumped and cut down the pole he was heading for instead. Saber might not be as fast but once Archer committed to the jump he was likely stuck and since Saber didn’t need to move with as much precision he might be able to get their first.
The weird illusory effect that suddenly appeared around Archer that made it seem like there were multiple versions of his opponent laid over each other would make things a little trickier, but his overall strategy didn’t change. Bokuden dashed towards the pole Arche stood on with sword in hand, ready to abruptly change direction as soon as Archer made a move.

Own our discord created for this RP. That's been the case for a lot of RPs I've taken part in, though not all of them.
Fate RP is always good. But why does nobody talk in ooc?
Generally, all the OOC conversation takes place on discord.
“Hmm, well that’s… interesting.”
The Gravity Well skill wasn’t exactly what Oberon had expected. Rather than being something used to weigh down or hinder a target temporarily it sounded far more destructive, like suddenly crashing down on something with a heavy weight. What’s more, the description seemed to suggest the effect only lasted for a moment.
Not very useful as a utility spell then. Instead the Sprite had found himself with yet another way to harm, maim or kill anything he came across; it was a surprisingly long list. He was almost ready to think that he had wasted nine of his skill points were it not for the fact that, well, he was controlling gravity. If the brief description of the spell was to be believed then he wasn’t just applying pressure in a way that resembled gravity, he was somehow empowering one of the four fundamental forces of the universe to increase its effect in a single spot. He would have to try and use an analysis skill on his later and see if he could gain any more information on it; because it that was really what he was doing then he had to be able to get something amazing out of it. In fact, why wait? It was probably a good idea to find out just how much mana the spell used up as well, since he couldn’t imagine it was as cheap as a simple fireball.
He was already near to the top of the treeline, so Oberon flew even higher until he was clear of the tree entirely and had some room to manoeuvre. Picking a random bit of empty space he activated Mana Sense and raised his hand before casting Gravity Well on thin air; at the same time he activated Magic Analysis to see if he could glean anything useful from it.
With that done, the Sprite returned to the ground. He descended down through the layer of leaves at the upper tree line, between the branches and flew back towards the camp. Along the way he scooped another pebble from the ground, pulling it towards him with Lesser Force, and began to examine it with Mana Sense. As expected he saw the flecks of golden coloured Earth Mana within it, but not much else. If he tried to add more Mana to it, it would start of neutral and colourless before turning the same golden hue once the pebble was full. But, not all Mana that came into contact with something changed alignment like that. Did it? If he cast a Shield spell on an object, it would still be a Shield spell, right? It would linger on the stone as a Shield without changing alignment, or so he assumed.
Oberon cast a Shield I on the pebble in his hand, watching with Mana Sense as he did so in order to observe what happened. He was curious to see the result and, depending on what happened, figure out why. If it worked, then he might be able to start work on something interesting.

Saber pushed himself away from the railing. Letting out a sigh as he took a couple steps forward so that he was standing in the middle of the bridge, not quite taking a fighting stance just yet even as Archer nocked an arrow to his bow. There was no rush to react; if he was the honourable sort then the duel wouldn’t start until they were both ready. “The Masters aren’t to be harmed; that’s fine with me. That’s the way Servant’s should fight.”
It seemed Subaru wouldn’t be staying out of this fight entirely. Saber felt the surge of strength as the music flowed through him, boosting his agility slightly and making him even faster than before. That meant this Archer’s Master would be able to do something similar, under the ill-defined rules of this duel, and sure enough a nearby bush exploded into something ten times the size as some kind of magecraft took hold of it. That both of them would have supporters during this fight made things more complicated, but not to the extent that it worried Saber any.
Still… he didn’t want to do this. He didn’t want to fight this battle.
It wasn’t due to fear of losing, as his Master seemed to assume, nor was it because he had some aversion to combat. No, he’d simply hoped to avoid this pointless scuffle because it didn’t achieve anything. He’d long ago reached the stage where battles for the sake of battle no longer interested him, so he had to ask what purpose this duel served other than to sate this Archer’s urge for battle? It wasn’t necessary for them to fight before forming an alliance, it was simply an indulgence. Unlike Archer, Saber didn’t yearn for the thrill of battle, they didn’t make him feel alive; that might have been the case in his youth, but he’d given up that kind of life a long time ago.
“Haaa, I’m showing my age again.” Saber inhaled, taking a deep breath of cold night air. He exhaled and placed a hand on the scabbard of his odachi, just below the tsuba, and with a flick of his thumb loosened the sword from its sheath. “Alright, let’s do this!”
Saber bent his knees and in the blink of an eye dashed from the centre of the bridge to the base of the light pole Archer was balanced atop. As he came to a stop he drew his sword and swung in the same, smooth motion, the blade slicing through the light pole at an angle without making a sound.
With his opponent’s footing now hopefully disrupted, Saber straightened his legs and launched himself upwards towards Archer. With a twist of his wrist and flick of his arm he brought the sword around and up with his ascent in another stroke. He aimed to hit his opponent with a shallow cut from navel to shoulder, spacing himself in such a way that only the tip of his long sword would reach his foe.
