Fate/Blood Money - GMless Bounty Hunting Nasuverse RP

Gotcha, well, I'll keep an eye on this thread. Hopefully it gets more traction. How many players are you looking for?

Fate/Blood Money - GMless Bounty Hunting Nasuverse RP

@GOATPlumber

If the CC and magecraft stuff is unwanted, could just use the oracle alone.

I don't really mind the Magecraft stuff using this system, though honestly, I also don't mind if we remove that completely. I'm neutral, I guess, I'll just go with what the other want on that one.

That said, a couple suggestion, if that's all right.

Nasuverse Origin: a core truth about the character's soul.

Your Origin grants a permanent +1 token to any pull thematically aligned with it, and a GM-less "temptation" clause: acting against your Origin's nature always draws from a Ledger with one Opposed token added, unremoved.

This one is really not a big deal and just personal preference, honestly, so I'm fine just leaving it as is, but IMO it's better to just use the more generic term like 'drive' or whatnot. Origin in nasuverse is something very specific that for most people really doesn't do anything. Those whose origin does things and drive them to do stuff relating to their origin have awakened origin and that goes with its own whole issues as seen in Garden of Sinners.

Choose one from the five true elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void (Sky) or other Elements that are unusual or rare. Spells matching your primary element get a −1 Prana Cost discount (minimum 1); spells opposing it cost +1.

IMO it's better to just remove the element prana cost discount system because the way Nasuverse magecraft system works, the elemental alignment is less 'fire you do fire magic' and more 'fire and you do stuff that fire represent in occultism' so really, if you elaborate well enough you can probably cast a fireball with water alignment. Also the system sort of locks the player into 1 element, but some magecraft might need two or more to do specific things. For example, an astromancer invoking Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn for Fortune/Misfortune stuff might want to be an Average One because those planets are associated with different elements. So not locking the element would give more freedom in the character's magecraft.

If you want some sort of Prana bonus, maybe go with thaumaturgical attribute? You know, like Shirou has Projection and Reinforcement and Rin has Conversion and Reinforcement. So like, the character can pick 2 in which they specialize in and that would receive prana bonus, but if say, they don't have reinforcement but want to reinforce their physical capability, they would receive a penalty with increased prana cost.

Also I don't know what "Nasuverse" is. Shall I assume it's the fandom implied in your tags?

@RickyG85

Nasuverse is the greater Fate/Stay Night verse which includes the creator (Kinoko Nasu)'s other works like Tsukihime and Witch on the Holy Night.

Tentatively interested, though I need to see more of the rulebook and the oracle system

Persona: Black Crown

I can do that, though it's just one little bit left which is interacting with the shadows of the small town, and then stepping back into the real world.

I don't know exactly what people want out of the real world sections, did you all just want excuses to hang out? Or does an objective seem more appealing?

@Sho Minazuki

I'm fine with continuing to the next objective, I just thought that Out of Character if EntertheHero is joining, this is probably a good time for them to join rather than making them wait more.

Amari Residence

"Well, yes," Maria replied to MiMi, "That was my intention."

She then produced a medallion from her pocket.



If one were familiar with the hit classic horror movie, The Exorcist, they would recognise the medal to be somewhat similar to the one Maria was holding in her hand.

"The Baptismal rite is a sacramental miracle meant to ward off spiritual entities. As you may know, however, it was meant more for general use, so to speak. Against powerful spiritual entities on the level of a Ghost Liner, it would be ineffectual. This, however, is the Benedictine Medal, which has a long tradition of being used in the rites of exorcism against demons. Thus, with this, even though I am not an exorcist myself, I should be able to elicit a reaction from the host if he truly is a daemoniac."

She then stopped, before adding, somewhat hesitantly, "Of course, if it DOES elicit some reaction, then Evan would need to be killed in that instant. Exorcists are few in number, especially in the States, so we cannot wait for the luxury of calling one."

"Well, yes, at that point, if you are deploying anti-demon magecraft—" Leonardo started saying, before being interrupted by Maria's cough, "Ehem. I believe you mean sacraments."

Rolling his eyes, Leonardo continued, "...anti-demon sacrament, that's like poking the hornet's nest. Don't you have a less 'invasive' procedure?"

"We do," Maria said with a sigh, "Unfortunately, like exorcists, they are very rare. There are Charismatics—"

"Meaning psychics," Leonardo clarified.

"—that are able to detect demons. But as I said, they are quite rare. I believe there is only one in the entire state of Oregon," Maria continued, seemingly ignoring Leonardo's interruption."

"And considering that if this is a true demonic possession of an entity capable of mind reading, we don't have the luxury of calling for one, because the moment we decide to do so, the demon might know of it and act?" Leonardo asked.

Maria nodded, "Quite. IF this is a case of true demonic possession with the ability of mind reading, there is only a small window of opportunity from when we decide to do something that would expose the demon before it acts."

Amari Residence, Evan's bedroom

Evan simply looked blankly at Selene's explanation, '...I don't really get it, but..." turning to Richard, he said, "...Basically, it's something like the X-Men? Like Jean Grey?"

Evan sighed, "...Maybe that'd be better, I don't know," he then added to Richard, "He said you're not being honest, by the way. But yeah, I dunno if there are passages on the bible about demon possesed people going to heaven, but Jesus and the Apostles did exorcise tons of demons, and the demon-possessed were never depicted to be the one at fault most of the time. Maybe if Heaven exists, if the Sister killed me, I'll go to Heaven. That's...not too bad."

@Digmata@Thanatos 7

Persona: Black Crown

@Sho Minazuki Btw, are we continuing the Metaverse/Kingdom section? If @EnterTheHero is joining, might be better to take a break from the Metaverse so they could join in.

Persona: Black Crown

"Understood," Signora said with a nod, as her proposal was rejected.

In truth, she was actually relieved.

Even now, she felt uncomfortable using her authority. She would, in fact, like it if she never used her Authority ever again. That said, considering their scope of activity, she could not deny the usefulness of her Authority.

"The fact that they have instructions to not listen to what these shadows said is curious, yes," Signora said, before elaborating, "As I understand it, a Kingdom is an area where a Ruler's Authority is exerted, correct? Our target's wish was 'the Freedom to do as I like', as I mentioned earlier, an absolute freedom in the sense that the 'freedom to do as I like' is only possible if you suppress other people's freedom to protest. As Authority seems to be the means granted by the Black Crown app to fulfil the wish...I would assume that our target's authority is something that would help him 'ensure his will'. Thus, the fact that these shadows' are seemingly outside of his control to the point he had to tell his men not to listen to the shadows meant that these shadows must have some way to nullify or at least mitigate the Authority of this Kingdom's Ruler."

Signora then replayed the previous battle in her mind, where her teammates had used their Authority. And that authority was certainly effective. She could only imagine how much more effective the Authority of the Kingdom's Ruler would be, considering they were in his territory.

"It would probably be wise for us to seek out these shadows in the off chance that they have methods to counter the Ruler's Authority. Also, by the fact that they apparently kept saying to 'give back the station', then they also have cause to depose the Ruler, no? All of the Metaverse seems to work on Jungian Archetypes, so I'm not sure how viable an alliance with a shadow would be, considering they are the 'side rejected and repressed by a person's ego' according to Jungian theory. But that might merit consideration. Though I suppose technically 'someone's repressed side' can be positive or negative."

Ava Lane

"Well, naturally, the common method to determine identity is to ask the person you are suspicious of a question that only the real person would know. Personal details or an inside joke that is not publicly known, for instance—" Ava started saying in response to Griff's question when he suddenly left and headed toward the steak and drinks.

Ava sighed.

Too easily distracted, that one. Ava had heard people being described as an 'excitable puppy', but she felt as if Griff was the first one who made her understand what that truly meant. Hopefully that won't affect his performance in the field.

Noticing Elora, who looked somewhat alarmed, Ava added, "Hello, Elora. It is good to see you. Please, don't let Griff's overactive imagination ruin your evening. Though, as I said, the best way to confirm is to ask questions. Feel free to do so if you feel the need."

She then turned to Arrish, who was greeting her as the host.

"It's quite embarrassing, but I admit that I almost slept through the party were it not for Griff waking me up to talk over some of the things in his performance review. Regardless, you are quite right. Fighting Cruxi is a dangerous endeavour; it would do us well to have some moments of levity such as this. Thank you for hosting it," Ava said with a polite smile, making some small talk.

The entire thing felt very familiar to Ava by now. That was to say, attending a fancy dinner and making nice with the host and other important guests were something she was well practised in, despite her natural introverted inclination.

That came with the territory of being the daughter of one of the richest families in the Federation, by virtue of being the owner of one of Framewerk's largest manufacturers.

Ava then moved on to Aurora, who also had greeted her.

"Thank you. I will make sure to partake in the steak, then," Ava replied.

From the files she had access to, this woman had some curious medical conditions, but that was not something to be brought up here publicly.

As she had said to Aurora, Ava then proceeded to take a bite of the provided steak.

She had to admit, it was indeed very good. It was not the best she had ever tasted, but it would compare favourably to quite a few of the steaks she had tasted.

Taking a look across the room, Ava made note of the fact that just about everyone was there. Though it seemed that Astolfo was not there.

That was odd. From Ava's impression of him, he did not seem to be the type to skip such an event to socialise—for networking if nothing else.

It was then that Astolfo finally arrived, accompanied by a blue-haired woman, who introduced herself as Lucrezia, a princess of Yatalia.

Ava had heard of her. A lieutenant just like herself, before her deployment to this project with its separate command structure, at leas.

Of course, a princess serving in the army was already going to draw some attention. But that, in addition to her striking looks, had resulted in Ava inadvertently hearing some salacious rumours—or perhaps more accurately wistful fantasy—from some of her old comrades, especially the men.

The natural course of events of having mixed gender accommodation in the army, she supposed. Especially in the frontlines, where supplies and amenities were limited.

Ava supposed that since she was supposed to be the squad leader, it would be her job to welcome a VIP guest such as this.

"Welcome, Lieutenant Bugatti. We're delighted that you are able to join us in this evening's festivities," Ava said, before introducing herself, "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ava Lane, currently the appointed squad leader for Framewerk Project XJ9."

Kotone getting added to P5X people. She still lives.

@Sho Minazuki

I like Kotone. Might be a hot take, but I think she actually fits P3 theme more than in a way.
