Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

Yes, yes, I know they did one in Apocrypha. I haven't been following that, so eh. Also, basically nothing of his stats is available, and his defences are... weird.

Class: Lancer
Master:
True Name: Achilles
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Appearance: Behold! Truly, the most beautiful warrior at Troy. Don't worry, he looks more masculine when not in disguise.
Personality: Achilles is a self-centred, short-tempered, violent bruiser. He likes fighting. He likes men, and women. What he does not like is people taking his things or killing his friends. Keep away from those two, and he's pretty much just overly boisterous--and rather cocky.
Stats:
  • Strength: A

  • Endurance: C

  • Agility: A+

  • Magical Energy: C

  • Luck: E

  • Noble Phantasm: A++

Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance: B. Even if targeted with High Thaumaturgy or Great Rituals, Achilles is difficult to affect.

Personal Skills:
  • Charisma: B. Sufficient to lead a kingdom. Worth noting is that this does not imply being any good at leading people, just having the presence and beauty (see: the halo effect) to pull it off.

  • Divinity: A. His mother was a nymph... and given that a god and a nymph produces a god, this seems the best rank.

  • Domestic Disguise: A. So long as Achilles refrains from fighting and dresses appropriately, it is impossible to discern that he is even a Servant--though this comes at a cost, as all his abilities are considered a rank down whilst thus disguised, making a sneak attack if identified through some other means. Indeed, thus disguised, Achilles is strangely generic--if seen in different situations, connecting the maid to the Servant cannot be done. Ceases to affect anyone that sees Achilles either drop the clothing, or start fighting whilst disguised.

  • Eternal Arms Mastership: A+. Retains full fighting capabilities regardless of any mental hindrance. Acknowledge as the greatest fighter of the Trojan War, Achilles' martial skills are almost without peer.

Noble Phantasms:
  • Bathed in the Styx--Invulnerable Body: A++, Support. Achilles, famed for being dunked into an underworld river as an infant, is more or less impervious to harm: one ankle is the only part of his body that actually takes damage, the rest of him just absorbs the entire force of the blow (likely leading to being knocked flying from more powerful things). His insides, however, are not so impervious--so unleashing an attack through his ankle, or mouth, and into the rest of his body will do it pretty well. A direct hit with something on par with Excalibur would overwhelm even this defence... though not to the point of actually killing him.

  • Retribution--Unhealing Wounds: C, Anti-Unit. Achilles spear, when used in rage, inflicts wounds that can only be healed by the spear itself... however, as a Servant, this would require Mad Enhancement, so save for the possibility of externally-imposed anger, it's just a very good spear.

Misc: The disguise thing is based on Odysseus resorting to trickery to get Achilles to reveal himself before the war started, the spear based on some king on the way (Telephus?) combined with Achilles' general anger at everything, and the invincibility should be obvious.

Agreed. Most of high school friends and crushes are formed in classrooms.


Never noticed that myself, it's always been outside of lessons that these things seem to happen. Because then people are at liberty to do more or less what they want.

I've roleplayed lessons before. They were far and away the most boring part of the entire roleplay.

The way I understand it is that Servant based on stories are actually possible but they are considered Shades and are weaker than Heroic Spirits.For example: If Arturia Pendragon and the Legend of King Arthur were both summoned by the same person in the same class, then Arturia would still have better stats than the Legend because she is a true Heroic Spirit while he is only a Shade of her.


Wouldn't work. Servants are all based on stories. You can only summon a Servant whose legend is known about--differences between reality and what you're expecting don't mean a thing. You'd get Arturia. Kojirou isn't even a proper Servant (no Noble Phantasm), had no supply of mana, and couldn't leave a single location. Using wraiths would produce a severely crippled character.

... additionally, he still existed. It's just that the role he was playing didn't. It is impossible to summon something with no basis in reality, you'll just get the closest thing. If the Heroic Spirit exists, you get the Heroic Spirit. XD

Besides, if OC's are preferred, playing King Arthur in any form isn't an OC.

I know this doesn't really prove anything due to the fact that the Holy Grail was corrupted at the time, making any manner of weird shit possible, but what about Sasaki Kojirou (Fake Assassin). He was an Imitation Servant or a "Shade" based on a legend about a person who never actually existed.


He was a Wraith, strictly speaking. As one of the nameless swordsmen that served as an inspiration for Sasaki, he was basically the best that Medea was able to bind, since she wasn't able to conjure a Heroic Spirit to serve as her doorman.

A male Arthur could be explained as the Male is based on the LEGEND of King Arthur while Arturia is the true King Arthur. They did the same thing with Jack the Ripper, remember?


Only as an April Fool's joke. I'd take anything from Strange Fake with more than a pinch of salt, unless it's been shown somewhere else. XD

Rumours cannot become Servants. The entire mechanism by which a Heroic Spirit exists requires a person in the first place.

I... am honestly unsure that I've ever seen PE lessons with an entire school at once. It sounds like it would make arranging timetables a horrible nightmare, and it would really overtax a teacher. A few classes or the entire year, yeah. But multiple years? O_o

Long bits wouldn't work. There's not much that can really be done. XD
Um... the problem with RPing in classes is that... you really can't have the character get away with much. Talking with people doesn't really work, you can't move around...

Also I don't see how we could all be in PE across three different years. @_@
That Lancer serves as yet another example of a random nobody that for some reason has a ton of buffing abilities. : (
A Mystic Code is... basically a tool a magus designed for a purpose. I don't think the jewels count--they're just containers for mana. The Jewel Sword, however, most certainly is (but that's in Zelretch's hands).

^ Azoth Dagger. Also not a Mystic Code, it's just a really nice dagger. Huh, turns out it's made from jewels. So it is one.
Also skipping straight to classes won't really do much. There's no roleplaying to really be done during them (since gym is basically the only class where anything relevant can happen) and then it'd end up moving to lunch or something. So... probably not a good idea to decide it's class time just like that. Kinda... brings the whole RP to a dead stop. >.<
