And... I only wrote three or so paragraphs before hitting writer's block.

@The Man Emperor, Accepted, but Jest and Conscripts can override, not that it is likely as your sheet is good...

Fate/Novus Apocrypha - The Ends justify the Means!

I might also make a Master for Ruler.

@Letter Bee

Actually, Ruler has not been accepted yet - I am not approving this character without my Co-GMs' approval.

Innocence Lost - A Science Fantasy RP [v.03]

William Windsor and his Crew - Flashback

As he finished reading the journal his contacts had acquired, one of many from those who were under Kherol's command, William's first thoughts were that he must be inexperienced in the ways of the world, if he hadn't grasped that atrocities like the ones in Ponin could be fed by feelings of love, love for someone who had done everything to earn his men's trust, love for someone who was doing his job and genuinely believed in his nation. Can he spark such feelings in those who followed him? Did he want to be so loved that his men and women would go on an orgy of bloodshed if he were ever in Kherol's situation? Not that he himself had his own choice - He needed to be loved enough that his folk would risk going up against Kherol at all.

Before despite his doubts, he had believed that his men and women would follow him to war, that grievances against the Ascendancy as well as a belief that everyone deserved better no matter their outward differences, would be enough to push them to conflict with the central authorities. But now, two factors had shown themselves - One, that love and ideological commitment should not be taken for granted, and Two, that steps must be taken to nurture love and ideological commitment, that people needed to be convinced that people must be treated according to the content of one's character and not one's race, class, or species. But how? What should he do? Write a tract? Start a media campaign? No, no, those were too impersonal!

He needed to inspire love, as well as to conduct audacious but not stupid gestures. And as an idea came to him, Windsor put down the journal and walked out of his personal chambers, not bothering to change from his 'home outfit', a woolen sweater-vest over a cotton shirt plus soft trousers and rubber slippers - Okay, scratch that, he did change to socks and leather shoes as he took a mag-lev pod to the Queen Elizabeth's hangar. He had with him his Omni-tool and cred-sticks, and his attentive mother had sent several bodyguards, Tayanen in metal shells, on the way once it was clear that Windsor had an idea and was so inflamed by it that he was forsaking obvious safety measures. Gesturing for the bodyguards to follow him at a discreet distance, William Windsor entered the hangar bay, a vast artificial cavern where dozens of smaller craft were docked.

Approaching a freighter at random, bringing up data on its crew with his Omni-tool, William walked over to just outside its bow, where its Captain, a young woman named Aisha bin Ibrahim, was supervising refits to turn the freighter into a warship. Surprised by the CEO's arrival in such an... informal manner, she turned around and gave a deep bow before saying, "Mr. Windsor! What are you doing here?"

Windsor was tempted to gulp in nervousness, and not just because of what he was about to propose - The woman had a perfectly-shaped nose and lips, after all. But he managed to clear his throat to cover up any sign of indecision to say, "Captain Aisha Ibrahim, of the 'freighter Eon Hawk, now being refitted to a Corvette-equivalent as armor and weapons go. I have an extra job for you - It's going to pay well."

The woman's eyes turned charmingly sharp in their skepticism, before she said, "Uh-huh. What is it, and it'd better pay well as it seems you're going behind your mother and the Board of Directors' backs?"

Now was the moment of truth, "We're going on a mercy mission. To Ponin."

@Double@ShadowVentus@Mendicant Bias@Renny@WanderingDragon:

I exchanged the places of 'Ongoing World War II' and 'Cleopatra's Ambition' in the 'List of Destination Worlds' so that the latter is the first place we're going to!

Edit: And yes, I'm slowly working on the IC.

Kingdom Hearts: Alternate Lights [Reboot]

Sorry if I'm slacking, btw - Just gotten busy.

Fate/Novus Apocrypha - The Ends justify the Means!

I might put in a Ruler after all, but he's going to be completely Neutral like a Good Ruler:

=======

Not Approved

_________________________________________________________________________________________
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 the modern age'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.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Parameters: E-! stats usually.
Strength: B
Endurance: C
Agility: B
Mana: C
Luck: B
_________________________________________________________________________________________
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

Noble Phantasms

Title: The Host at Milvian Bridge.
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 60
Maximum Number of Targets: 25,000 individuals.
Description: An army marched with Constantine to the Milvian Bridge, an army painted the symbol of the Chi-Rho on their shields, and an army won a great victory under the symbol. As a Noble Phantasm, Constantine can summon his loyal troops to his side once more as phantasmal soldiers, the legions of Heaven itself. Though his armies are individually weaker than Iksander’s Ionoi Heitairoi, they can manifest in the normal world in greater numbers due to the strength of their faith and the faith of the hundreds of millions who follow the Church in the present-day - However, even this is temporary, four to eight hours at the most.

Title: The Blessed Nails
Rank: A-
NP Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm
Range: 1 - 10
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: Constantine the Great’s mother, Helena, gave him two nails from Christ’s crucifixion order to grant him God’s protection. As long as the two nails are together, they grant Constantine protection from ranged attacks, with arrows, bullets, ranged Magecraft and Noble Phantasms avoiding his body. However, Constantine does not gain the effects of this protection if the projectile were to explode on impact, if the attack was performed in a manner where range would be considered a non-factor, or if it was performed by a weapon that has simply long reach, such as a spear (Copied with permission from another Fate RPer’s CS).

If the nails are separated through theft or gift, the protection is split among the holders of said nails, lowering its strength by one rank.

Title: The Church of the Holy Apostles
Rank: A
NP Type: Barrier
Range: 30
Maximum Number of Targets: 300
Description: One of the many Churches Constantine built, and the one he wished to be buried in, the Church of the Holy Apostles was the resting place of the relics of St. Andrew, St. Luke, and St. Timothy, and also many Eastern Roman/Byzantine Emperors, including Justinian and Heraclius. Lasting for a millennium or so, it was eventually abandoned by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate some years into the Ottoman conquest and eventually demolished. As a Noble Phantasm, the Church manifests once more in its full glory, the relics, and Emperors buried inside its crypt acting as an anchor for the righteous dead and a beacon for those who still live.

In essence, the Church heals those whom Constantine deems righteous, including those whom he grudgingly concedes to have lived an honorable life despite their ignorance of the True Faith, restoring their health as long as they are within sight of the soft light given by the Church. Not merely that, but the Church feeds energy to The Host at Milvian Bridge and Christian Servants whose Masters have been killed, allowing them to stay in this world longer as long as they are within the Church’s grounds or within sight of them.

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.
