Hi, Majoraa; how are you?

Nope; I play bad guys myself, so I'm not scandalized. Just clarifying a few things.

Yes, I did. Tbh, Fever Dream didn't make a rapist OC, they made a Stripper OC who drugs and robs people... Three years ago IRL. Still does not excuse that person's words, though.

_________________________________________________________________________________________
Name: Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus/Constantine
Title: Emperor
Class: Ruler
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Good
Height / Weight: 5’8/197.9 pounds
Source: IRL History
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Personality: Constantine genuinely believes that the faith he brought to the Roman Empire was a net benefit to it and the world, and does not regret his actions, which one might point out, did include banning infanticide and providing aid to parents so that they do not have to sell their children to slavery. Though he regrets the pain and suffering brought by errant members of the faith, as well as rolls his eyes at his Master’s own lack of devotion, Emperor Constantine maintains a strength of belief which others lack, a strength of belief which borders on arrogance.

Bio: Will his IRL life do?

Weapon: Roman Spatha Longsword.

_________________________________________________________________________________________
Class Skills:

Revelation (C) - As someone who has been given a Revelation from God, especially one which led him to victory, Constantine has an instinct for whichever action would lead him and those under him to an optimal outcome. This instinct has no rational explanation, as it comes at the most unlikely of times, but rejecting the whispers and messages from it can only lead to a damning failure.

Saint (B) - As a Ruler blessed by God who changed the course of history, and is commemorated as a Saint by the largest denomination of Christians, Constantine the Great was seen as a paragon of virtue by many Medieval scholars, and it shows in his Servant form. Constantine gets a rank up to Charisma, raising it to A.

True Name Discernment (European) (B) - Constantine can discern the True Name, Skills and Parameters of a Servant he directly encounters, but this skill is more effective on Servants who are rooted in Christian and Hellenic Pagan legend, meaning that veiling skills and phantasms made by those folk are less effective than those used by Servants rooted in Far Eastern and Mesoamerican Lore (an exception is Shirou Amakusa Tokimune because he is Christian).

Personal Skills:

Baptism Rite - Constantine generates a set of blessed javelins, which launch themselves against an opponent. These javelins, when piercing an opponent, fix them in place as Constantine says a prayer to God for the purification of their soul and the destruction of their body. This prayer, when finished, causes the enemy to erupt in white flames which consume them entirely, leaving only ashes in their wake.

Military Tactics (B) - Constantine is adept at planning the logistics, strategy, and actual tactics of a large number of people, although one should note that his knowledge might be obsolete in many places thanks to developments past his death. Not just that, but this is situational and is best-partnered with his Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, which in turn is also situational.

Charisma (B) - One does not gain the loyalty of the Legions, reunite the Empire, legalize Christianity, declare infanticide a capital crime, and found a new Capital of the Unified Roman Empire without having both charm and talent. One also forgets that historically, Constantine was a tactful convert who kept using Pagan symbols throughout his reign and was only baptized in his deathbed. Either way, Constantine can gain the affection of, and fire up the fighting zeal, of entire armies and populations.

NOBLE PHANTASMS



Fighting Style: Constantine is a decent melee fighter and horseman and often fights with a lance, sword, and shield on top of a summoned steed.
Not a GM Post

Cynthia, Pablo, and Vane

“Sure!” Cynthia said, “My name is Cynthia, Cynthia Weissberg. I am from Germany but my mother is Filipino. I can create and control fire and water, my own lightning and ice, and I can also make it so that I don’t have to hurt anyone I consider an innocent with my powers with a moment of concentration. I like cats, teddy bears, and soft things as well as sweets, but I also like fighting when it’s a good cause.”

Pablo then added, “My name is Pablo Legazpi. My Noble Arm enables me to ferret out information, including what powers one’s Noble Arm uses. For example, I know your Arm is more powerful than most of Virgil’s group except for Leonora’s - The second female member - And even then you can easily beat her if you’re not pinned down or charging straight at her. As for everything else… I keep a low profile.”

Cynthia glanced at Pablo and said, “You know, you sound just like an edgelord when you say that.”

“Oh,” the young man said with a blink. “Well, I didn’t mean to be one.” A pause, “Well, if you want to know what I like, well, I like sweet things too, as well as coffee and cake. I also have an interest in History and Literature, but it’s sorta waning.”

A smile from Cynthia as she turned to Vane, “So, is that enough small talk for you?” A pause as the classroom door came into sight. “Well, we’re here! Hopefully, we get seats close to each other - You sound like a fun potential sparring partner!”

@Not Fungus

Jeim, then Pablo

By some miracle, Jeim would get to the classroom at the same time as the others, and Pablo would go and get a seat close to the guy once they both entered. He needed to use his Noble Arm’s power on the secret Hammerite and expose the guy’s mentor as an exploitative ass who was only using him as soon as possible. Every second where Jeim was under the spiritual seduction of that man was a second where the Hammer’s ideology would ingrain itself further in Jeim’s brain, making the revelation that it’s essentially against the latter’s better nature and he was being used a more traumatic experience when it finally came.

Another inner Truth: Pablo knew that this was essentially being selfish and that once he used his Truth power, the selfishness of trying to save Jeim instead of, say, Malenkov or even Virgil would hit him hard. The Truth was that he was trying to save Jeim out of… attraction, and that he was putting his own interests above the greater good he claimed to serve. That he wanted Jeim to be ‘redeemed’ when others deserved it as well and that his reasons for wanting to redeem Jeim first were selfish as f**k - Heck, they may even count as stalking, and Pablo was not happy with the potential label of ‘stalker’. At the same time, though, Jeim still needed to know the truth about his mentor - That was true as well.

That secret cannot - should not - be kept away from the other youth.

But where did unselfish motives end and selfish motives begin? Pablo's Truth power will reveal that for himself...

@WindsOfFate
@VoiD, Double-post, and if you don't get a response from either me or the other Co-GMs for days on end, don't be afraid to ping us!
@VoiD, Awesome sheet and IC Goals!

Approved by me, but I'll ask what the other GMs think, so don't post it on the Characters Tab just yet.
Daniel

Surprise. Pride in his Servant’s abilities. And finally, a feeling of frustrating weakness due to how Autocylus had shown him more of his blind spots. Then a realization: His acting like he was the greatest thing since sliced bread had alienated two of his Servants (although with Don Juan, he at least had the excuse that the Saber would have destroyed his family life), and if not for Charlotte liking his Alchemic Blaster’s effects, Daniel might have alienated his fellow Master as well. This was bad, real bad. If he didn’t shape up soon, he’d doom Human History to destruction and collapse.

Now to run back to the cafeteria - If Daniel ate fast, he’d be able to fill his stomach with something actually good before he and Charlotte went to Rayshift. Then he remembered that he needed Auto and Don Juan, along with Crazy Horse, with him when it was time to travel through history. He decided to contact the last Servant, hoping that his tone was much more humble from now on, Rider, would you mind coming to where I am so we can have a quick meal before the mission? Saber and Assassin will join us later - Despite strained relations between us, I don’t think they’d like Raphael to lock them up in a closet, which yes, was actually said by the guy.

Either way, if Daniel managed to get to the cafeteria long enough for a quick meal, he’d ask for a Gyro from the Chefs, and eat it as quickly as he could without wasting a single piece of ground meat - He had it drilled into his head from the age of six that wasting food was bad. He also asked for a wheatgrass shake for additional nutrition. Nevertheless, he said to Charlotte should they meet, “Sorry for being late, I and Auto had to talk about how I can protect myself from other Assassins in the mission.”

This time, he closed off his connection to his other servants so that he can privately think, And by ‘how I can protect myself’, he reminded me that he himself could have slit my throat at any time because of my naivete and my over-optimism. Oh, my God, oh, my God, I really made bad choices at the beginning!

Either way, if he had one hour left, he’d take a full thirty minutes to calm down, breathing in and out as he waited for his Servants - Or at least Crazy Horse - to arrive. Will they come? Will they publicly disobey? Were they even aware that Raphael will lock them up if they fail to show up? Hopefully, the call for adventure will be enough to get them to come, even if they won’t necessarily obey him. Either way, he’d message Don Juan and Autocylus one more time, saying, Saber, Assassin, I would like to have you know that Raphael will lock you two up in a closet - With each other - If you two don’t come with me and Crazy Horse.

Then a thought, Fair warning, by the way, Chaldea may provide you with prana instead of me - Unless I am misremembering - but they will still be outraged if we fail to coordinate in the mission, especially if I die and their ‘investment’ in raising me dies with it.

Cutting off the link as he walked towards the Rayshift Room, Daniel then began thinking up solutions to his present predicament. A Ruler-class Servant can give me extra Command Spells, and also the capability to keep the others in line with the right Noble Phantasms. And I know what my own Imperial bloodline can help me summon.

Yes, if he survived long enough to summon Constantine the Great, that might solve his problems with Don Juan and Autocylus. But he wasn’t so blind that he needed to improve his own personal capabilities as well, because if he didn’t, then he’d just be relying on ‘miracle solutions’ without making himself better...
Daniel

Daniel frowned at that, then said to Raphael, “Yeah… I’m aware I sounded like an insensitive dickhead just earlier - Apologies for my arrogance just there.”

He decided not to address Raphael’s other points, and Auto’s message to him gave the boy an excuse to do something else than ponder whether what he wanted can be construed as ‘Genocidal’. So he said, “I’ll join you guys later - Maybe 30 minutes to an hour. Autocylus is calling me and I think he seriously needs my help. Or, who knows, it might be a prank - I’m not entirely blind.”

And with that, Daniel zoomed off to the equipment room, saying, “Again, I’ll join you guys later - Sorry about this!”

Once in the equipment room, and anticipating a way to reconcile with Auto (best-case scenario), Daniel found the ‘pickle’ which was just lying around there, and thought, It’d better not be something gross, before picking it up to examine, already anticipating that it’d be a humiliating but not truly cruel prank.

A twinge of discomfort, a twinge of discomfort which came from suppressing any thought that things would not go his way. Breath in, breath out, relax. You may be ‘safe’, but you’ve probably sowed the seeds of resentment to the others. By being too open about your desires, you exposed them to ridicule… As well as legitimate criticism.

A pause, as Auto’s prank presumably came into action. Damnit.

We're still open for new players!
Akira Ayumu

They succeeded! Wait, there was still one Sweeper left and it wasn’t charging at them. Did that mean they were under siege? Akira looked at Jessie and asked, “So, what’s happening and what do we do now?”

He looked at the many re-wounded mercenaries and said, “Actually, I’ll cure a few people,” before casting multiple Cures once more, and then going back to Jessie and saying, “These machines seem a lot more intelligent than before, intelligent enough to rebel against their masters and keep out of danger. But they’re not sapient, otherwise, they could be tricked further.”

Another pause, before he continued, “Jessie, I have an idea - Do you have smoke bombs or anything which diminishes the enemy’s visibility? If so, I can go out there and sneak up on the enemy Sweeper, climb up its back, then stab it with my naginata.”

Akira then patted his polearm, then said further, “Or I can plant an explosive on it, but that’d be riskier as I might blow myself up. Either way, trust me unless anyone else here has a better idea - I’m one of the most agile folk here, after all. If anyone can do it, it’s me.”

-------

If Akira’s idea was not approved, he’d stay in the Fort while listening to any new notion. He’d also request an inventory of the Fort’s remaining weapons and hope that there were catapult parts somewhere...

If it was, then the young man would wait for the smoke bombs or anything similar to be launched, then rush out in zig-zags, using his ninja senses and his communion with the Planet to avoid running into rocks or bodies or other obstacles. As the Sweeper presumably detected his presence anyway, Akira nevertheless drew on the Planet’s knowledge to guide his next step, hopefully sliding under the enemy machine’s legs before climbing up the back of said legs and hoping the Machine didn’t know how to shake him off.

If he managed to get within range of its engine, he’d stab it with the blade of his Naginata, hoping that the blade smoothly pierced through some vital components, before drawing it back, shimmying down, and then running back to the Fort and hoping that the Planet guided his way.

This plan relied on his agility, the Planet’s willingness to help, and of course, the machine’s own confusion. If all three factors aligned, then he’d win.
Actually edited my answer there a bit to try and make it a bit clearer. My goal is to make something that anyone can join in, not just those that have played the game.


Ah, saw your edit. To be honest, I don't think I'd be interested, then - I wanted something faithful to lore while not retaining the complicated ruleset.
<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

I'm afraid not, we're going to stick with the physical adept archetype for this rp.

And, what I really mean by that is that I'm going to be using the lore I know, like atzlan being a megacorp and stuff like that, but it will be my own interpretation of it all. In the end its going to be different to whatever is written in the books or even video games. People are free to use what they know, of course, when creating their characters, I just might ask to edit some things to make them fit.

And sure, mages can go into melee if you like. We aren't playing with any rules or stats. Just kind of keep it realistic, a mage isn't going to physically kick as much ass as a trained street samurai or physical adept.


Understandable. I'll try and see if I have the time to join, then.

Edit: As a Mage.
