All in a Day's Work: A Superhero RP

'Anne'

The blonde frowned, dropping the thug like a sack of potatoes and leaving him pale and groaning. Great, just great: of all the random out-of-the-way alleys this badly dressed joker could have stumbled into, he picked the one that had a feeding vampire there.

Then he went and ignored that fact entirely in order to focus on the highly specific idea that, looking much younger than they were, the two girls should have been in school. It would have been amusing if not for how incomprehensibly stupid such a question was, given the scenario he'd wandered into. Unlike Charlotte, she didn't feel like getting involved--and left in as efficient as manner as possible.

The blonde's form, complete with everything she was holding, expanded and faded into a cloud of mist, one that promptly coalesced on a rooftop, parasol pointed to the sun. Just because she wasn't getting involved, she wasn't going to miss out on watching him deal with the witch.

The thrown-away revving motorbike, due to the skill of its rider, actually landed on its wheels... even if the tires were shredded as they slid across the ground. That, Allegra felt, was going to be the sort of cost that she had to pay. At least if the whole motorbike was wrecked she could rely on the IJF to replace it. It meant that she needed to find a new weapon, though... and nothing around here was looking any good for that. Sure, there was a bit of lamppost but that would mean throwing herself in the way of an HGV.

Then there was the demonic girl's annoyingly high resilience to deal with; Allegra's normal tactics would be no more than a child's playing around if she could take a motorbike so calmly. It was a good thing that the handgun she carried was a backup precisely to deal with things that bits of the scenery and sharp blades were useless against.

It was big. It was heavy. It had an inscription on the side. But all of that was nothing against its main draw: the bullets it fired were better classified as for use with rifles... against armoured vehicles. Oh, sure, the handgun meant less velocity and less range but neither of those were what gave it its real kick. Piercing through armour was nice, but this? The bullets were small explosives.

So the girl turned up her music a bit louder, took aim at the wannabe supervillain walking away, and fired. With that sort of resilience, she didn't have to worry about accidentally killing. In this particular case, immobilisation was the aim: Allegra ignored all conventional logic about firing at the centre of mass, and happily aimed at the back of her enemy's knees. That ought to keep her still so the knight could finish this thing.

Blue/White sounds reasonable but I don't see much justification for any other color in him. I had him pegged as mono Blue earlier only because of his cynicism gained from when he was undoubtedly Blue/White.

This is because of considering Emiya Shirou to be a separate entity from Archer.

Green Mana

He's literally a force of nature now. If you can't see how that puts Green into it... >_>

Everyone has a bit of every color, but one's current behavior and philosophy are generally what dictate their colors. See: Planeswalkers that have been different colors.Blue = Artifacts fo sho though. A spell that summoned craploads of swords would be hella Blue. Reminder that colored artifacts were introduced as the gimmick of the Primary-Blue shard of Alara.

But that's merely trying to ascribe a colour by the effect, rather than a colour by the 'why'. Beyond that, you're assuming that UBW works as 'summon loads of artefacts' or even as an artefact, then saying that it's Blue--when the actual effect could be something more like grindclock, where you just tap it and check counters to see what the hell it does.

UBW Background Stuff

On top of that, Unlimited Blade Works itself exists because of Avalon, which is utterly White, and even then only because Archer/Emiya Shirou basically defines himself around saving people. Simply using it, as the Reality Marble or as normal projection, damages a human body--oh, hi, Black. Even though Archer plans, he hasn't removed the tendency to throw himself in harm's way and just take the more direct option; plus all the fucking blacksmith connotations and smog. As for Green? Contract with the world to reduce the pressure on the destruction of UBW--and he's a Counter Guardian, so inherently part of the natural order.

Inside Unlimited Blade Works, it isn't the same as being inside a Blue artefact-spamming Land or something. A Reality Marble is the projection of a character's soul, essentially, onto the external environment: the effect might say one thing but the actual reasoning would be completely different. Colourless incomprehensibility it is. Not a mere blue because artefacts.

If I had to turn it into a Magic card--and note that this is not the same as how it will appear in the roleplay, if used--it would either be Black/White or Blue/White. It would not be mono-colour Blue.

Character Crossover Crisis City

The reason for UBW is White, his underlying personality is a mix of Red and Black, and actions in Archer's past throw Green into there. Blue gets in because of how he acts. Focusing on the end result trivialises the issue.

Plus the 'recreate every weapon' part of UBW fills it with a panoply of weaponry embodying every colour. >.>

...Archer is Blue...

No, no; he isn't. He might act that way, but that doesn't describe him--or Unlimited Blade Works--any more than Green does.

Character Crossover Crisis City

For reference, inside UBW, expect no mana of any discernible colour. No trying to apply M:tG rules to the expression of someone's soul. <.<

The whole deal of "Player as Planeswalker" and "Planeswalker permanent as ally Planeswalker" is headache inducing to translate over, so my solution is to have it work out however depending on the situation.

Not really, in this case we have Sorin filling both roles.

Character Crossover Crisis City

Ignoring it because I don't terribly want random magical buffs and vampiric effects.

Also, wouldn't the effect of Lifelink suck everything back to Sorin?

Character Crossover Crisis City

Seems like something less than Sanctified Charge, so I doubt it. Plus, except in one very specific case, it operates on a link between casting time and power; an Instant would be resisted more. <.<

And suddenly I don't understand what we're talking about at all. o3o

Basically, I'm saying that Magic Resistance and Sorin being an untrusted vampire sociopath mean Archer and Saber are unlikely to be buffed.

Then it diverges into M:tG gameplay stuff.
