Deep Ground Online: War of Strangers

Btw, Windel, when I do get around to making my post, is it cool if I mention that Gleeful Jackal fought Moon Rider to an inconclusive draw some time during the timeskip? Mainly because I can't imagine that he wouldn't try to gank her if she was going on the aggressive.

So... why is 'summon horse' immediately 'charge horse at enemies on its own'? I'm just a bit lost that Cao Cao is chucking his mount, as Rider, at the enemies without even getting onto it. XD

...What? I figured it was implied that he charges while mounted.

So... why does a horse he ran away with charge straight at the enemy? Is there more to the story? XD

Because he's making it do that? Kind of like how Medusa has to force her pegasus to run at dudes.

Sam Jensen

Appearance (Real Life):

Height: 5'7"
Weight: 142 lbs
Hair Color: Brown (dyed greyish-white)
Eye Color: Blue (yellow contacts)
Name: Sam Jensen
Age: 17

History: Sam was an ordinary child that had an ordinary childhood, with two parents, a middle-class family, and a few siblings. However, he was always a bit of a slacker, not seeing any point in exerting more effort than he needed to do the bare minimum, preferring to spend his time playing video games instead. Hence, when he turned thirteen and received the Deep Ground Program, he planned to do only so much as to acquire just enough kills and maintain a slightly positive win/loss ratio to have a moderate future, just as his parents had. But when Sam actually entered the program for the first time, he realized something. The Deep Ground Program was just a video game. And it was fun as hell.

The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment he got from defeating other players was like a drug to Sam, and he wanted more. As the years passed, Sam found himself getting better and better at the game, and having fun the whole way through. He cut through other, lesser players like they were nothing, laughing gleefully as they stumbled into his traps and fell to his ambushes. As his skill grew, he devised more and more ways to take down enemy players, enjoying the rush of victory he got. Then one day, when Sam was fifteen, he found himself at level 9, with a 91% win/loss ratio and a massive number of kills. He'd done it. He was a made man. There was no real reason for him to keep playing. But he still did. Because he loved playing the game.

With his future secure, Sam resolved to experience everything the Deep Ground Program had to offer, and so he joined a guild: the Cobalt Bruisers. While the Blue King was initially leery at the thought of accepting a level 9 with no loyalty with him into the guild, Sam's win record and his general slacker attitude in school convinced the Blue King that Gleeful Jackal wasn't a threat to his position. And for six months, he wasn't. Sam served the part of a loyal guild member, taking part in and winning several battles for his guild. But then he wanted to experience more. What would it be like, being a King, commanding other players? And so Gleeful Jackal cut the Blue King down with his Grim Reaper skill, taking his former leader completely by surprise with a sneak attack and becoming the new Blue King.

Under Gleeful Jackal's rule, the Cobalt Bruisers adopted a policy similar to their King's personal philosophy, intent on getting as much enjoyment out of Deep Ground Online was possible. They fought to have a good future, but they had fun doing it. Unlike some people who took the Deep Ground Program so seriously, they realized that it was a sandbox for them to play in. A giant, murder-filled sandbox. The Bruisers started to gain a large influx of new recruits thanks to their friendly attitude towards the game and towards newbies, and their ranks swelled until they were on par with some of the stronger guilds.

Unfortunately, this philosophy angered the White King of the time, who was offended that the Blue King and his Bruisers took such a flippant attitude towards something that could decide the rest of their life. And so the Ivory Masks declared war on the Cobalt Bruisers. The soldiers of both guilds were evenly matched, but the war was actually decided by their Kings. Gleeful Jackal got a massive kick out of seeing the White King so riled up, and so he decided to piss him off even further. By ganking him once a day with his Grim Reaper skill. The Blue King got inside the White's head, mocking him repeatedly during battles and spamming cheesy bullshit like blind traps and smoke bombs until the White King was so pissed off that he left himself unaware and open during his rage. Sam even took the time to acquire the White King's phone number in real life and have his guild spam insults towards him with text messages and prank calls. Eventually, the White King began to lag behind his fellows in power due to his repeated defeats, leaving him to be overthrown by a player known as White Terror. Out of gratitude towards the Blue King's role in her victory, she called a truce between the Ivory Masks and the Cobalt Bruisers, and to this day, both guilds have a general policy of non-aggression towards each other.

Personality: Sam is a cheerful, fun-loving slacker that hates having to do any real work. Thanks in part to the tactics he used against the previous White King, he began to find pissing people off to be absolutely fucking hilarious. Thus, even though he is a King with the responsibility of leading a guild, he can be a juvenile asshole on his worst days. However, his insults have no real malice to them and he has no real ill-will towards anyone in particular. He is more of a sarcastic prankster or class clown than anything else, just trying to derive amusement and fun from everything he does.

Fate/Tropical Holiday

Class: Rider
Identity: Cao Cao, Duke of Wei

Appearance:

Personality: A cunning, pragmatic man that cares nothing for what others think of him. He cares little about status or traditions and judges people based solely on their ability. However, despite how ambitious and unscrupulous he is, he still possesses a high amount of personal integrity and treats his allies and subordinates well. On a personal level, he is stern and stoic, but often drops sarcastic jibes in a completely serious tone.

Stats:

STR: B

END: B

AGI: C

MAN: C

LUK: A+

N.P.: A

Class Skills:
Magic Resistance:
C: Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.

Riding:
A+: Creatures on the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast rank can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind. Maneuvers that would normally be absolutely impossible become trivial.

Personal Skills:
Charisma:
B: The Servant is compelling in conversation. They can make lifelong allies easily and inspire entire nations. Their followers will be strongly loyal to them.

Military Tactics:
B: This Servant is among the greatest generals. They can assess battlefield conditions quickly with limited information and enact simple strategies without needing to plan. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing with an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.

Disengage:
A: So long as there is enough prana to keep the servant intact, the Servant can retreat even in the most unfavorable conditions and reach a safe location to heal. They also gain bonuses to defense while fleeing, and gain a chance to launch a surprise attack on their opponent if they attempt to pursue. Also has the ability to return an unfavorable battle to the first turn, along with the status of the battlers.

Noble Phantasm:
Shadow Runner
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Army
Description: Cao Cao's personal steed, a black horse said to have run so quick that it would cast no shadow during its sprint. It bore Cao Cao to safety during his flight from Wan Castle, surviving numerous wounds during the process. When the horse is summoned, it executes a charge straight into enemy lines, wreathed in black flames that could decimate an army.

Sword of Heaven
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Description: Cao Cao's longsword, a golden blade claimed to have been able to cut the heavens and slice solid rocks with ease. It possesses a massive bonus to its damage against any Noble Phantasm that is defensive in nature. Can be combined with Shadow Runner to grant that Noble Phantasm the effects of the Sword of Heaven.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao Arrives
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit
Description: Cao Cao is so famed for his military tactics and general ruthlessness such that a modern Chinese saying is literally "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives", equivalent to the Western phrase "Speak of the devil". Whenever his true name is uttered, Cao Cao is capable of teleporting within ten feet of the person who spoke his name. The teleportation is not silent, and the target will be aware that Cao Cao has appeared. However, the prana cost of this ability increases with his distance to the speaker, and anything greater than a city's length is impossible for a Master's prana reserves to sustain. Anything greater than half a city's length will generally exhaust a Master's prana reserves. Moreover, Cao Cao only has five seconds to decide whether or not he wishes to teleport to the speaker, as he will have no clue of what the speaker's defenses will be like. This Noble Phantasm can backfire greatly against Cao Cao if he warps into a heavily-defended area.
