Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>
Does this matter in a setting where the elves are Old Norse (the dwarves, too), the hobbits halflings Nem are Tolkienic, the "Naga" is based in Greek mythology but perfected in its modern form by a guy born in the Sixties,.......and so on?

As of four days ago we have a sanctioned Japanese-flair character, too.

I don't think it's that damned egregious.

@pugbutter

At what point does "influence from multiple languages and cultures" mean that gratuitous foreign language is acceptable? Yeah, there's a character from fantasy-Japan, who should therefore be the only person using obviously modern Japanese. The roleplay is English. The language the characters are speaking is transcribed as English (I think it's probably something from the low countries). There is absolutely no reason that a character should be using Japanese. O_o

It's basically having a roleplay set in Rome and then a character casually spouts a Chinese proverb untranslated. Nonsensical.

Because one is English and the other is explicitly Japanese? Come on, that's not even a difficult question to answer. Hell, it's not even true onomatopoeia: Japanese has a LOT of words for sounds that aren't actually sounds. Onomatopoeia for smiling is damn weird.

"Typical woman, really: too weak to fight her own battles, so she surrounds herself with boot-lickers." Gütta spoke with a sneer nestled into the wrinkles of his nose, bleeding down into the corners of his mouth. "Beyond that, we haven't met much."

... did you... totally misunderstand the setting? Blatant sexism like that... doesn't fit. Particularly in this order of all places. Plus... half the cast. I mean one second there's Japanese not-onomatopoeia and the next, uh... "let's assume Victorian gender roles".

"Yare, yare. It's always business with you." Gütta turned back to the bullseye, poising himself to throw his feet spread, his shoulder twisted back and his hand, clutching an iron point, slung over it. "Frankly, m'lord, I think trouble follows the Order, not the other way around."

What the fuck is random Japanese doing in here? <_<

Damaging of spirits like wraiths, though on powerful spirits like heroic spirits it would likely only cause a drop in combative stats akin to the grounds of a certain gate. It is pretty standard Hojitsu stuff.

@ADamnFiddle

I hit the wrong person and didn't realise.

@Lonewolf685 YOU ARE THE PERSON I WANTED TO ASK.

@ADamnFiddle I have a question: what's being made stronger with those clothes? I'm confused. @_@

Jennifer White

The universe seemed to not want them to have anything to eat. First there was the interruption in the cafeteria and now--right as she had suggested eating and then fighting off whatever invaders were coming--their peaceful rooftop picnic had been blocked before they could even get started. Jennifer would normally have let Fuuka eliminate the opponents on her own but being denied food was annoying... and she could even get some practice in.

For this, it would have to be a katana... and given their opponents, restricting it to wood might impede the practice. An ordinary steel blade it was, then: one was quickly drawn from the bag, scabbard and all, before the girl darted towards what seemed to be a nice group of three clustered together.

Draw, cut, clean, sheathe; draw, cut, clean, sheathe... the movements weren't as familiar to her as the pace of a normal battle but targets like this might as well have been stationary. Having to focus on proper form was a good way of dealing with the frustration from the delayed pizza, even if it was over too soon. Jennifer returned the blade to its scabbard for the final time before straightening and looking at the three seemingly intact robots.

Some signal fired, urging the three to move. They tried.

The sliced machines collapsed, falling into a heap of neat chunks as friction no longer sufficed to hold them together against the numerous cuts. The swordsman frowned at this, feeling that something was... off about it. It seemed that she ought to practice a bit more: the marks on each weren't identical despite the same repeated forms. At least it gave her something to work towards learning.

Actually, how about Jack pairs up with you? That way, @KoL can pair Diarmuid up with Felix.

@Cojemo

I'm good with that. I think the original version of this Master from years ago was made to pair with Jack. xD

I don't think there's anything superfluous in mind, is there? I mean I could be wrong but still.

The only relevance origins have in Fate are Kiritsugu's bullets and UBW. We don't even know what it is for anyone else in Fate. And the exact details on magic circuits are... not useful? It's unnecessarily complicated compared to just saying "good/bad/average/weird". That's the superfluousness. xD

• Name: Ghyslaine Vinla-Meir
• Age: 38
• Appearance

  
• Personality: Unusually for a mage, Ghyslaine is warm-hearted and never got the memo to view everyone else with suspicion, envy, or disgust. In a normal Grail War, every Master would mark her out as the first to go down from sheer unwillingness to hurt someone herself but in this instance a friendly and thick-skinned Master has a far greater chance of surviving. Due to her past, she has an extreme weak spot for children (or anyone childish) and a subsequent desire to keep them away from danger... even if they're Servants far stronger than she is.
• Abilities: Superficially, Ghyslaine is an average magus. Even with dual affinities for fire and water, her thaumaturgy is nothing to write home about and she tends to display nothing above the very basics. Most of her magecraft relies on her family's Sorcery Trait, Sanguinus Mystica: she effectively has an entire secondary set of magic circuits that concentrate their output in her blood and concentrate her blood itself, over time. This has obvious implications--she can write entire ritual circles with her own blood and not bleed to death, then need provide no more mana to complete the ritual.
  Aggressively, she can control her blood even after it leaves her body, allowing for it to write the small collection of runes she knows and form an imprisoning circle around someone that wasn't quite watching where they're going. Or, more violently, turn it into a directed wave of liquid fire. Her stamina in combat is tied entirely to how much blood remains.
  She's also particularly good at first aid, due to both her often she needs to bandage her own injuries and to make sure that nobody she cares for bleeds to death on her again, if she can help it. She's even taken steps to get certified by mundane authorities.
• History: As a young woman, Ghyslaine was your typical unremarkable magus: learning from her family, woefully behind the times when it comes to understanding technology, and not keen to attract attention to herself. She didn't have the means nor the sheer talent needed to gain tutelage with the Mage's Association. She married, had a child--aside from the whole tinkering with the world's unexplained mysteries thing, it was a perfectly normal family.
  But a sorcery trait that relies on the user bleeding is a dangerous thing for a child without supervision to have. Even more so around an unprepared father that tries to stop it only to get burnt. One accident and no more normal family. Ghyslaine did the obvious thing--search for more magical knowledge to try and find some way to undo it. Even working to gain admittance to the Mage's Association felt worth it.
  But more knowledge only cemented the obvious: you can't bring back the dead. Not with magecraft anyway, in this world. But when the Wizard-Marshall started looking for Masters to gather grails from other worlds, Ghyslaine signed right up. If there's the slightest chance that she could have a family left at the end of things, she'll take it.
• Other: Likes hugging.

@PKMNB0Y Only because Jack seems to be tied up with someone else. Though summoning all the lolis would be hilarious. xD

Jennifer watched in confusion as the other schoolgirl chose, rather than to simply go get a drink from somewhere else--or tear the vending machine open, which she was quite capable of doing, to roundhouse kick it away. Who installed a vending machine on the rooftop, anyway? It was convenient but hardly the sort of well-trafficked area that you would expect to find something like that. Not that it mattered any more.

The English girl's opinion on the noise was a lot more relaxed than her fellow rooftop diners: "It's probably not important for now, we should eat the pizza first."
