Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

@vancexentan@Turboshitter

No worries. I briefly thought about what character I'd like to bring in, and how to make it work. I picked Anastasia because the whole stories surrounding her and her potential survival of the slaughter (even though debunked in the real world) made her stand a little out if only for novelty reasons. I had a reason behind everything chosen, but I agree she might be a bit in the powerful regions.

Either way, I'll concoct something when I return from work. I do not like to use canon characters though, I am too creative and prideful for that.

@KawaiiKyouko

Good luck to you then. Grand Order and Fate's other various spinoffs have gobbled up half of history by now, I'd reckon.

@vFear@1Charak2Sonja and Locusta are accepted. I've added them to the character tab.

@GreyWe're going to Scotland after getting our catalysts. Can't exactly stay at the clocktower after ripping off a teacher.

@vancexentan

Yes, but this is being held for the benefit of the upper echelons. Ayondale wants to impress them by putting on a show.

I've seen that there has been an issue regarding youger Servants, so I'd like to point out that the "cap" for Servant Eligibility seems to be if they were born before the 1900s, since we still have some canon Heroic Spirits who were born before then, but were made famous of their deeds during this timeframe.

Of course, I'm not the GM, so it's not for me to officially decide.

@Cu Chulainn

1900 is about the official "cap", yes, however, Servants younger than 300 years are usually not worth bothering with, minus a few exceptions. They certainly would not be high on the list of catalysts Lord "Professor" Arieh Ayondale would be seeking, to be sure.

@vFear I see no issues with Sonja I'll allow it.

As for Charak I will place my confidence in Charak that they won't do something dumb, and Turbo to make sure it doesn't happen and allow it to pass. I'm absolving myself of anything to do with poison oriented characters.

@vancexentan

It's a PvE RP, I doubt there will be any problems. Regardless, I'll touch up both sheets and add them to the character tab.

Well lets put it this way, Semiramis is too busy mastering two arts. (dual class) so shes only pioneered the art. The woman made of poison doesn't put much effort into poisoning people. More of a ninja assassin girl really. And Locusta? Well she came out of nowhere to the roman empire and said fuck it, Lets poison everyone AND BE PAYED FOR IT. Seriously everyone knew she was a killer and she was allowed into the courts. So the best poisoner is the one that basically got to do it in plain sight.

@1Charak2

lol true

"You poisoned your husband, the emperor? That's cool. I poisoned an emperor too, once. I was so good at it that his son decided to pay me to poison a lot other people for him and gave me a shitton of money and land to do it too. Life's nice when you're me."

Hassan bodies all of them on account of that Poison Resistance

I take a fourth option

Assassin Gilgamesh with the original poison

@Grey

Gilgamesh can fuck off with his prototype bullshit I'd like to see ancient Babylonians invent the prototype of a fucking musket gg

Hider

Not being serious, obv :P

*Locusta slowly hides the hash shes been supplying the hassans all this time...*

@1Charak2

I think there are gonna be a lot of times in this RP where she and Albert are gonna need to bust that shit out xD

This does raise the question though. Who is the best poisoner? Semiramis, the world's first poisoner, Locusta, the world's first serial killer (on a technicality) and official Imperial Poisoner, or Hassan of Serenity, the lady literally made of poison? Locusta probably has the highest body count even compared to Hassan, but it's stiff competition all around...

Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

Hassan of Serenity vs Locusta when

@Grey

As soon as the Hassans can all be convinced to stop toking up on hash :P

It's Red not black but that point is irrelevant.

I don't especially like poison stuff so I'm going to let Turbo get the first word in. From what i see this could be troublesome to balance in some cases, especially in buildings, and melee servants are pretty much unable to go directly for her if they know about the second noble phantasm because then they are stick in essentially a giant poison bubble. Any masters who aren't directly powerful who get stuck in it are even worse off. But Noble phantasms are meant to be power so once again I'll leave turbo to this one.

@vancexentan

It's not that different from Jack's Mist, so it should be fine. Might be prudent to add something about how magi can use the principles of Resistance to last marginally longer inside the poison compared to normal people, but otherwise I don't see much of a problem with it. Servants wouldn't have much of a problem escaping from buildings anyway, given most of them can punch down walls with their bare hands.
