Fate/『 』Märchen

This is now a Knight of the Round Table thread.

@Idol Theory

You know what this means, right?

@Yukitamas

Oh boy... Family reunions are always nice (and awkward), are they not?

Fate/『 』Märchen

@Idol Theory
My Master idea might work well with Arturia.

If you are interested, here's she:

Alex

• Name\Title: Alexa Cellesis Jupteria
• Short Bio/Synopsis: A rather nice person for a magus. She has a good sense of humor and a hard working, studious personality. In other words, she's a pretty run-off-the-mill person who just happens to do magic for a living.
  
  She's a child from a family, or rather a coalition, of mages that is only tangentially connected to the Association. They practice classic alchemy, but don't deal with things like Magical Crests. Their thought process is that depending on Crests (and a heavy dose of inbreeding to keep their blood "pure") is why the Clock Tower mages lose their power at a rate that far exceeds that of places like Atlas and traditional practitioners who pass on their knowledge to the next generations through actual study and tutoring.
  
  Since the faculties that they have the best relations with are Animusphere and Norwich, they usually send a few promising youths to study at those factions of the Clock Tower. Alexa specifically spent a lot of time in the Astromancy department, making extensive uses of their equipment. Whenever she wasn't doing that she could be found in Modern Magecraft Theories, attending the famous lessons from Lord Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald.
• Magecraft: Alexa was born with the relatively common trait of Pure Eyes, allowing her to see things that shouldn't be visible. However, her main talent lies in a refined general knowledge of magecraft fundamentals, particularly, alchemy and astromancy, along with related fields like numerology and geometry.
  
  She's very well knowledgeable in transmuting and reinforcing basic elements like stone and metals, and creating bounded fields. However, as expected of someone who's focused on the fundamentals, she isn't capable of matching the power of a magus who's deep into their own family research, or a dedicated practitioner of any foundation.
  
  Some of her signature tricks include a mastery over basic spells (usually thought to be apprentice's tool by other magi) like Flash Air, Gradation Air, and Counter Magic. She also knows how to apply Alchemy's ability to generate light and electricity offensively, condensing it in an attack similar to the infamous Finn Shot (but better since this is a direct magical energy converted to physical energy "heat" attack), which she calls Flash Bullet. A fully charged blast can reach temperatures in the upwards of 1500 K. In essence, it's not that different (albeit far less destructive) than what a certain other redheaded magus can do.
  
  Again, similar to that person, Alexa can make use of High Speed Incantations, as long as she keeps to the basics. You can really say that she's someone who lives and breathes by the motto of "Simple is Best."
• Mystic Codes:
  
  • Azoth Sword: Never underestimate the power of the basics.
  • Jupiter's Robe: A set of formal wear meant to further attune and enhance Alexa's magic circuits. While the Azoth Sword is like a mana capacitor or battery, this formal wear is more like an engine, or a wearable grimoire finely attuned to her astromancy and alchemical knowledge.
  • Mystic Eyes Killer: A pair of glasses capable of nullifying the effects of Mystic Eyes, both those of the user and those of others.
• Misc/Other/Trivia:
  
  • Height: 157 cm
  • Weight: ---
  • Age: 23 years
  • Likes: Cats, studying, burgers
  • Dislikes: Insects, loud places, sea food
  • She has been researching about ways to acquire true Mystic Eyes (likely of the fairy kind), since they are the purest form of Magecraft, but so far she had no luck in her pursuit. Winning the Holy Grail War might as well be her best chance other than somehow finding her hands on an invitation to Rail Zeppelin.
  • Despite being 23 years old, she doesn't look much older than 18 or 19, thanks to her small stature and actually aging slower than normal.
  • Her last name is actually given from the ruling planet under whose influence she was born.
• Special Boon:
  
  • Superior Magical Skills (Mastery of the Fundamentals):

    "Mastery of the Fundamentals is the proof of one's excellence."

    Fate/GO, Formalcraft

    
    Through the history of the Association, not only in this one, but other worlds as well, many great magi proven that mastery over the basics is the best path a mage can follow. You should not try to bend magic energy to your will, but let it flow through you like water, shapeless, yet unconquered.
    
    It's thanks to such a mastery over the fundamentals that Alexa can employ high level skills like High Speed Incantation, and make anything that's considered a fundamental technique much more useful than usual, to the point that her signature spell, Flash Bullet can match the level of power of a Finality.

Also, @Parallel Hearts, there's my Master above. I tried to make her into something super basic without looking like I ripped off the likes of Aoko, Rin, and Paracelsus too much. But there's only so much you can make when you want to go down the simple route. I hope that she's alright.

Fate/『 』Märchen

@heroic2019

Well, then I guess we are set as a duo.

Fate/『 』Märchen

@heroic2019

Good thing I didn't go with my classic Atlas Alchemist idea for a master. I feel like she would be way too similar to what you have there.

On the other hand, I really like this idea. If she's approved, would you like to pair her up with Saber? I feel like having a Servant that basically is fighting in an armored wedding dress (because of Lohengrin being the source of the most ubiquitous Bridal March, she has a deep association with weddings), would work well with your Master's theme.

Fate/『 』Märchen

Well, there she's. I'll have my Master done later today, or tomorrow, depending on how things go.

In the meanwhile, is there anyone (preferably a girl) who wants to pair up with a literal knight in shining armor?

Fate/『 』Märchen

Saber

• Class: Saber
• Name\Title: Lohengrin, Knight of the Swan/Knight of the Grail
• Short Bio/Synopsis: The child of Sir Percival, one of the Knights of the Round Table, who was the original knight sent on a quest to recover the Holy Grail before Sir Galahad joined King Arthur's court. Through her father, Lohengrin inherited the guardianship of the Holy Grail's Castle, Corbenic. She became the new Grail King, tasked with safeguarding the most sacred cup. Sadly, she was never able to honor her father's wish to return it to King Arthur before the fall of Camelot.
  
  Later on, she was tasked with protecting, Elsa, the daughter of the deceased Duke of Brabant, arriving there on a boat pulled by swans. Though she served and took care of her charge (even married her) for years, she was forbidden from revealing her identity to Elsa. One day, after being asked about her identity, Lohengrin finally answered the question before bidding farewell to Elsa, and stepping on her swan boat, never to be seen again.
• Stats:
  STR B | END B | AGI A+ | MAN B | LCK A+ | NP B++
• Class Skills:
  
  • Magic Resistance A: Lohengrin is blessed by the Holy Grail, granting her the highest rank in this skill.
  • Riding A: All vehicles and all creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts. This rank is high enough to have an aptitude for the Rider Class.
• Personal Skills:
  
  • Knight of the Swan B: The Knight of the Swan is a gracious protector who'll never fail at defending their charge, but whose identity can never be known. This skill grants a bonus to their Agility as well as makes their identity and attributes a mystery even to their Master. Until they choose to reveal it summoning their Noble Phantasm's True Name in their Master's presence or outright speaking their own True Name to their Master it's impossible to discern which of the many heroes to hold the title of Knight of the Swan have been summoned. As long as their Master doesn't discover their identity, they can do any of the above and not lose the benefit of this skill.
  • Protection of the Holy Grail A: As long as she benefits from the Knight of the Swan's skill, Lohengrin also enjoys the blessings of the Holy Grail, granting her a bonus to Luck and increasing her Magic Resistance Skill.
  • Oath of the Protector B: Plus correction to encampment defense. Raises defense power of all members in an allied camp.
• Noble Phantasm
  • Name/Tile: Corbenic, The Unbroken Holy Grail Sword
  • Rank: B++
  • Type: Anti Unit/Anti Army
  • Range: 1-50
  • Maximum Number of Targets: 1/100
  • Description: The sword that her father, Sir Percival, received from the Fisher King. It's a weapon made of glass-like steel whose power is reliant on the user's piousness and connection to the Holy Grail. It's said to represent the Holy Grail's Castle which was passed from the Fisher King to Sir Percival. I can be reformed, no matter how many times it's broken, as long as the wielder remains worthy of it.
    
    It can be used in a number of ways, like shattering the blade, and shooting the shards at a target. Concentrate magical energy on the blade, to act as a Broken Phantasm, or fire a powerful beam of concentrated magical energy. The two later uses require it's True Name to be invoked, otherwise the blade won't reform itself after being broken, until it's name is called upon.
• Misc/Other/Trivia:
  
  • Height: 164 cm
  • Weight: 52 kg
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Likes: Beautiful things, silent people, sweets
  • Dislikes: Ugliness, people who ask too many questions, crossbowmen
  • She usually goes by Odette when she needs to give a name to others, even if revealing her identity to them wouldn't be detrimental to her. She just likes the Swan Lake that much. Funnily enough, there's a historical theory that Prince Siegfried from Swan Lake might be based on the real historical figure of King Ludwig II "The Fairy Tale King"/"The Swan King", none other than Wagner's patron and principal responsible for Lohengrin's opera upon which Schloss Neuschwanstein, "New Swanstone Castle", is deeply based. In other words, it's safe to say that Odette is a fitting name that Lohengrin can use as if it was her own.

Fate/『 』Märchen

I was expecting to do both, as I stated before. Pretty much out of habit.

On that note, here's Saber, ready for evaluation:

Fate/Abyss

In my very extensive experience with Fate RPs here, hidden CSs cause more trouble than they are worth.

You prevent metagaming by making it clear that you won't accept it. It's also much more work on the GM's side which I don't think is fair to ask of anyone to do.

Fate/Abyss

<Snipped quote by Cu Chulainn>

What do you mean? I think someone else already took Lancer, so I don't think you can use your name. I've claimed Caster too.

@Idol Theory

Well, canonically, Cu can fit into any class so anything is good for him.
