Convergence: The Restoration

... he seems severely underrobotic and underequipped for anyone ever associated with the Mechanicus. O_o

Convergence: The Restoration

@Raineh Daze It's just a precautionary thing, I believe. Just knowing that it's entirely possible for Gilgy to destroy the entire cast at once, even if it probably wouldn't happen, is a bit of a Damocles Sword on us all. But still, it's up to you and Yidhra on actually changing it.

@Kafka Komedy

I get that, I just meant to explain that any nerfs established outside the bio are going to be pretty much indistinguishable anyway. XD

Oxygenate it.

Convergence: The Restoration

I think the only one of those he has that he knows about is the first one.

And, well... his ego alone is an enormous nerf. What he could do is a far cry from how much effort he actually puts in and it keeps making him lose. Fate route? Leaves Saber alive after overpowering her, she ends up getting Avalon; UBW he doesn't even bother with the armour and passes up an opportunity to kill the main characters because some ash got on his clothes (and he loses the fight with Shirou because, aside from not bothering with armour, he doesn't take it seriously from the start and UBW is a natural counter to bladespam), and in Heaven's Feel... once again, leaves something for dead after shooting it a few times and wanders off. Gets consumed from behind. Hell, he only won his last fight in /Zero: first one ended when he was told to leave (though he was just going for the same but more), second he lost a dogfight because he's not actually that skilled, and the third he actually won.

It takes pretty much an army of heroes or having something like Excalibur to make him do things even slightly properly. Even then he still holds back (plus using Ea at full strength is a bit stupid: it's not like he has another planet to go to).

And the way most nerfs would work out is that he'd have no ability to be doing things that he wouldn't be doing anyway? It'd be a bit invisible. xD

There's that other thing that I put off. But I finished it. : D

Shiny

• Name: Gilgamesh
• Title: King of Heroes, Oldest King, Archer.
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Very shiny.
• Personality: There are many things that could be said about Gilgamesh's attitude and personality but they all pale before one factor: his ego is greater than the sum of everything else combined. Only one person has ever been or will ever be acknowledged as his equal and everyone else has to struggle simply to earn his respect. Fortunately for everyone else, this means that to make him fight you properly is a fight in and of itself, with any normal person having to be decisively winning (on top of aggravating) in order for him to respond in kind. It's safer to be beneath his interest.
  He also believes that everything belongs to him. Were he not in another world, this would be correct from at least one point of view and the change of scenery is hardly going to deter him a bit. Money, items, people: all are under the king's purview and to interfere with his desires it the worst crime of all. Strangely enough, this isn't simply restricted to the positive things: all that is wrong and corrupt with the world belongs to him. All the world's evil belongs to him as well and Gilgamesh is consequently able to withstand being immersed in something that would utterly corrupt or destroy some lesser figure.
  When not being consumed utterly by his own arrogance, Gilgamesh is actually highly intelligent and insightful--you don't rule what basically amounts to the entirety of humanity for a lifetime, most of that as a good king, and fail to understand human nature. The most obvious display of this is that, no matter how angry he gets, he doesn't let his emotions dictate his actions.
• Ideals: Himself. He is the absolute king, the only one with the authority to judge humanity, and all the world is his. He has no need or interest in lesser ideals, since (by Gilgamesh's view) anything that he does is intrinsically right.
• Biography: He would be shocked to hear that anybody was unfamiliar with the basic tale--it's the oldest literature recorded, after all. King of Uruk, wrestled Enkidu, killed a giant, rejected a goddess, killed a bull, lost his friend, quested for immortality, failed, reigned and died. A pretty accurate summation of the King of Heroes' life, only missing important parts: the gods created him in order to prevent the end of their own age, yet he took an interest in humanity and chose to be a standard by which humans could be measured. During his lifetime, he also collected every treasure, every creation of human ingenuity... and stuck them all in a vault. What did he actually have to do with them?
  He was summoned, using the snake's very first shed skin, to be Archer for the Fourth Holy Grail War. Despite fighting an entire army at one point, the worst that could be said to have actually happened to him before the end was losing a dogfight. And then... All the World's Evil was dumped on his head. Uniquely, this was not a fatal and impossibly corrupting occurrence: instead, he shouldered it... and got a physical body because it just wanted to get him out. Not that this was entirely a good thing, because it made him more in tune with the general gist of humanity, and cynical consumer culture makes him quite bitter...
• Powers: As a Servant, Gilgamesh is simply inhuman--though having a purely physical, rather than spiritual, body has blunted this. Nevertheless, both his strength and speed are on a level where a normal person would have no chance to compete and anything short of being impaled probably isn't fatal; losing an arm just made him angry. He lacks most of the other benefits that would come from being a Servant, again because of the physical body.
  What he does still retain is a level of Charisma that is explicitly supernatural; should he choose to lead a fight or assist then it would be almost impossible to not feel an improvement in morale. He also has an uncanny ability to gather wealth and treasure to himself: drop him penniless and alone in a foreign culture and he will inevitably become one of the richest people alive without even trying. He literally can't be poor.
  He mainly uses the Gate of Babylon to fight (or to supply wine for a conversation) as it's fully capable of accessing the nearly limitless depths of his treasury. Whilst he can just deposit the item into his hands, the Gate has the useful ability to arrange an array of weapons behind him... then shoot them all at high velocity. Then return anything back to the vault to be fired again.
• Weapons: Due to collecting all their prototypes in life, there are very few heroes' weapons that aren't within his vault. Excalibur is a notable exception, due to having been forged long after his time by faeries. He does not, however, have anything in the way of experience in wielding them--so unless facing a vastly inferior foe at his mercy (and yet worthy enough to take some effort at all) they mostly just serve as glorified ammunition. Still, there's something to be said for using legendary weapons as the bullets for a railgun.
  There are two weapons that he actually cares about. One, the Chains of Heaven, have been named for Enkidu and were used to restrain the Bull of Heaven. Since they can extend indefinitely, the chains can be shot from opening to opening in the Gate to create a spider's web of restrictions, or just used to grab someone from a long way away. They're normal steel chains against anyone without a touch of the divine, and consequently quite useless on most people he might fight.
  The other weapon that is specifically Gilgamesh's is Ea, the Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth. It is a sword that is actually more of a drill, and completely useless for fighting with (though it can tear through your chest with no effort). What it can do is start spinning and unleash a magical blast of wind that can stop on any stage of disastrous effects. At its strongest, Ea splits the sky to show the world before it was created... and would tear it utterly apart. At a more reasonable level, it's a razor wind that can devastate an army, or a laser of wind that can overpower even Excalibur. Without being a Servant, you'd have to nearly kill him to bring it out.
• Equipment: Aside from weaponry, Gilgamesh's treasury contains enough anti-magic jewellery to render him nigh impervious to magical attack (and shinier than ever), quite possibly an ancient Hindu spaceship (though given that was destroyed...), a well-stocked wine cellar, sources of infinite food... almost anything you could possibly need. If he can remember it exists, given that he was never fully aware of everything that lay within the treasury in the first place. It also includes his armour: despite being nameless and unidentified, it is one of the few things that can stand up to Excalibur's full power and remain intact. He still died after that but, unlike normal, he wasn't vaporised. It's good armour.

And nobody could talk to Vader or the 40k guy. xD

Convergence: The Restoration

@Burning Kitty Phorian is spoken in Phoria, however, after some time in Phoria, you will start hearing Phorian as your language.

@Yidhra

... doesn't this make roleplaying effectively impossible because, aside from two characters, nobody can actually speak to anyone else and expect to be understood?

Convergence: The Restoration

@Yidhra Ah, posted a bio, it ended up as the last post on the last page. xD

Hoot? : D

This took longer than I wanted it to. :/

Magical Girl. Power: More Dakka

• Name: Yukine Chris
• Title:
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: She's not dressed for inclement weather, which could become an issue. Being dressed to fight actually makes it worse but, given she'd be fighting, it would be less noticeable.
• Personality: Due to her rather messed up childhood, Chris isn't the most reasonable person in the world. She's hot-tempered and coarse to a fault, combining both rudeness and an occasional lack of social graces--for one, you should never take her to a restaurant unless you want something of a mess. On top of that, she's quite prone to overreacting and getting far too into fights (whether enjoying them or not, tunnel vision is an issue). Yet on the contrary, Chris can be incredibly shy in normal social situations, being more than willing to put in effort to run away from her classmates at first.
• Ideals: Chris wants an end to war and has been willing, in the past, to do some rather questionable things for it... things that came back to bite her (and served a large role in why the moon nearly got destroyed). She's mostly past the whole atonement phase now.
• Biography: Chris's parents were famous singers--her father Japanese, her mother... presumably from somewhere English speaking. When she was a child, they took her along with them on a tour of a country divided by civil war as part of an attempt to help refugees. With the war getting larger, this turned out to be a poor choice and it got them killed. Chris, on the other hand, survived perfectly well--but was now in the hands of terrorists and human traffickers.
  Fast forward six years and she was once again in Japan (and free) but on the way to meet her actual legal guardian, she was abducted by Finé and given a fragment of the bow Ichaival, converted into a Symphogear, and used to awaken a complete relic--Solomon's Cane. It was shortly after this that Finé put her plan to use a giant cannon to blow the moon up into action, with Chris being sent to deal with the Symphogear users, using a different complete relic. Though initially doing well enough, her failure to actually achieve a victory lead to first being punished and later abandoned entirely. Ending up fighting Noise (evil dissolvey monsters) to the point of exhaustion, she would likely have died if not for Kohinata Miku finding her at the right time.
  Having returned to Finé's mansion in order to get more answers, she was nearly caught in its explosion--once again saved by someone else and this time an adult. Chris was left with a communicator in case her help was needed or she did want to trust them, a decision that proved its validity when she was instrumental in taking down a large number of Noise with the other Symphogear users. Shortly thereafter, the moon-destroying cannon was fired and was only stopped by Chris' sacrificing herself to ablate as much of the blast as possible.
  Due to singing, she got better in an unreasonably short amount of time.
  After the moon crisis, Kazanari Genjuro finally became able to fill the role of her legal guardian and she began working with the other Symphogear users properly, as well as attending Lydian academy. Since then, she has played a part in preventing the collision of the
  Moon and Earth and a crazed alchemist trying to dissect the planet.
• Powers: The only power that Chris has is a high compatibility with the singing-activated relics that form the basis of the Symphogear system. This is actually vitally important: not only can someone with a low compatibility (which is at least better than none) barely do anything without the use of LiNKER to improve things, a high compatibility is needed in order to survive using a Swan Song with just incapacitating damage.
• Weapons: Chris is the wielder of the relic Ichaival, a fragment of Odin's bow fused with modern technology and a piece of the sword Dainsleif in order to be used to safely fight things like the Noise, which would kill any normal person on touch, and later put to use for slightly more mundane purposes like "taking part in a mission to prevent a space shuttle from burning on re-entry". Aside from transforming her clothing when activated and seemingly providing backing music for singing, the Ichaival boosts durability and general physical ability to the level that a non-athletic girl like Chris can jump to the roof of a building or get up from being smashed into a wall like nothing has happened.
  It also provides weaponry. A lot of weaponry, all in the form of ranged weapons. By default, the bracers simply become automatically-reloading homing energy crossbows, which can themselves split more to fire three shots at a time. More often, she simply turns them into a pair of Gatling Guns with infinite ammunition. For more durable targets, there's missiles, missiles that split into more missiles, bigger missiles, shooting a missile arrow from an enormous bow, and what amounts to flak. Only the flak ends up raining down from above. The sole concession to defence or melee fighting it has is a reflector for holding back energy beams and a sniper rifle form that also works to pistol whip someone with (and would presumably fire explosives as well).
  The fragment of Dainsleif in the relic allows it to become even stronger... by physically impaling her. Not only is this quite painful, plus evil looking, it can potentially drive the wearer to attack like a berserk animal... quite ignoring all the guns she has. Not something to be used lightly.
• Equipment: Nothing aside from the Ichaival.
• Universe of Origin: Senki Zesshou Symphogear
