Fate/Darkened Moon

The only real threats the enemy will have to a flight based opponent will be enemy Saber, because enemy saber is terrifying but it won't be due to anything that he can do weapons wise; and enemy archer because that's their job. The others will have to cheese it. At this point I'll be honest I'm going to have to make enemy archer on a higher tier than I wanted because they'll have the exclusive job of dealing with Perseus whenever he is flying. I'm not even being dramatic he has disengage A on top of his high speed, and his flight how else am I suppose to deal with that? Medusa was so handily dealt in some scenarios with is because Shinji is legitimately awful master who can't properly supply her with mana to make use of her move set because Sakura is her legitimate master.

Be it as it may that he can exclusively only use one noble phantasm at a time according to the wiki two of them have as stated put the other classes in a hard spot. I'm not even sure if he can use Medusa's head on his own but I'm sure i'd not even allow that because that'd be the equivalent of not only empowering the bag but taking Medusa's Mystic Eyes which is a skill of hers on top of taking her mount.

Regarding the heal factor the enemies won't be brain dead like Spartacus but many of them are close range oriented opponents who are battle nuts.

That's not taking into account our other servants who will also be engaging these enemies at the same time. Lancelot, as poor as his skills actually are, is still a tremendous boon to Black Faction, and Foreigner seems to be settling around by disrupting mana flow.

Fate/Darkened Moon

I'd like you to keep in mind in terms of days, and weeks Fate styled roleplays shouldn't last more than two to three weeks at the very most, and that day to day combative fights matter. Knocking out a player, or sealing them for a day is a big deal remember that Artoria Saber was missing her primary sword arm for her second fight with caster, and Diarmuid had to step in to assist her otherwise she'd probably have lost, or at least been injured even more so. So healing preparation time is not something black, and or Red will have a lot of time of. Flight is also a big deal in fates. Flight ranged heroes can sometimes neg certain servants. Take my own Lancelot since I can't reveal Red's roster. Lancelot's only out to flight is unleashing Arondight as a beam instead of Overload.

I'd also like you to keep in mind that his only canonical prototype phantasms are
Harpe
Winged sandals
Mantle
Mirror-shield
Bellerophon - It is the same as Medusa's Bellerophon, a Pegasus-handling bridle

So the scythe, and the bag shouldn't even be in there in the first place.

EDIT: Need to get my head together the thing you named the scythe is the harpe so just the bag really.

Fate/Darkened Moon

@ManyThings I would honestly prefer you pick another rider but if you chose to/insist on using Perseus then I will need you to cut a few phantasms from the bunch. The problem I have with him is his overabundance of phantasms some of which are literally taken from other noble phantasms from other characters. Others like Immortal Scythe are pretty much capable of inflicting wounds that I have no other way of healing legitimately through this roleplay short of killing Perseus, and breaking the curse ala Diarmuid's spear.

Fate/Darkened Moon

I can split the other NPC's into their own parties, or just simply hold them back. Karna, Atalante, Spartacus, and Achilles weren't all in the same party continuously for the faction of red.

Fate/Darkened Moon - Casual level roleplay - Looking for more players

The following was originally from advanced but moved down to casual. The OOC is up you can find it here. Currently as of yet the roles of Saber, Caster, and Rider have been reserved we need Assassin, Archer, Lancer, and Berserker.

The year is 2015 the next holy grail war was about to start once more with the church, and mage association preparing to take on new masters, and heroic spirits they were naively blinded by the fact that there were still people out there who were willing to exploit the grail. Many years have past since the Fuyuki Grail War, and with the loss of the greater grail more smaller grail wars had been propping up all over. A small faction in Poland known as the Grey Family have summoned several servants in violation of the Grail War's rules. It's their intent with this current move is unknown but the Grey Family were known as mage supremacists who believe that magi should rule the world not the common people, and it is speculated they wish to use the servants, and the grail in order to win over the world to their way of thinking. They have held fast in a castle forming battle strategies as the mage association prepares itself to deal with the threat. While standard grail wars were done by a servant to servant basis fighting in singles combat until one group remains

Scouts sent to deal with threat were met with swift brutal retaliation and as such the only way to deal with this threat is to summon more servants to combat the 'Red' Faction. Met with fierce resistance initially the mages association has finally come to a conclusion that the threat in question must be dealt with. As such they had sent calls to several different magi be it allies of the Association, or mercenaries. The church has also proclaimed it's support for the Mage Associations 'Black' Faction as the brutality of Red has proven both disgusting, and an insult to the rules of the grail war. Hoping to wipe out the enemy faction the mages are gathering in London to summon their servants. The clocktower magi in London seek to assist the mages in their attempts at destroying Red Faction before they arrive in Poland in order to defeat enemy summoners. Ruler has said to have already arrived in Poland to await what is to happen. However there is more than just a grail war looming over the heads of the magi for when they fight in Poland something doesn't seem quite right even more so than usual. With dark clouds in the horizon will Black Faction be able to overcome the Red Faction's power?

Hello everyone this is a typemoon roleplay based off Fate/Apocrypha but it is not a complete rip off it. There will be no characters like Sieg entering the midst, there will be differences compared to the anime/book, and other changes may be implemented. None of the canon characters/servants will be involved minus perhaps the servants who are allowed within power limits (characters like Gilgamesh (Archer/Adult), and Heracles/Hercules (god hand like abilities are too strong to allow into the roleplay. Because you can't hurt them without a B+ or A ranked Noble Phantasms, and you have to do it multiple times in Herc's case). To make clear servants with high stats are allowed characters with broke abilities aren't.

Examples banned servants and why

Gawain - His noble phantasm theoretically gives him an unlimited boost in the sun as long as he's in it. While this can be circumvented at night he is an absolute nightmare to handle in the day, and afternoon.

Jack The Ripper - Jack's phantasm is not an all encompassing instant kill but if you are female, and it is night time its rather easy to get off if it is night. On top of that memory erasure is a bitch in a roleplay setting. How am I as gm suppose to deal with a character who memory wipes upon leaving somewhere?

King Hassan - Unlike Jack Hassan is literally the embodiment of the meme 'Teleports behind you "nothing personal bro"'. He's the OG Hassan for a reason.

Kiyohime - Her stats are shit but she turns into a dragon. How many servants do you know of that routinely are capable of fighting dragons that aren't named Siegfried, or Gilgamesh?

Karna - He's pretty much the Grand class Lancer. He's almost untouchable in power his phantasm is anti-god for crying out loud. A look at his statistics should show you why he's strong.

Merlin - He's THE mage. He's not Solomon (hello cloud of Excalibur level blasts) but he's damn real as a threat in any circumstance. When you think of western magi you think of merlin, and his stats/phantasm reflect that.

I'd like people to keep in mind that I can allow nerfs to allow some characters like Lancer Cu Chulainn in as he has an instant kill move that hits a person's heart I can't let that sort of move fly. What's the point of a powerful opponent when you just fling your nigh unblockable time space bending spear through their heart? If you're unsure, or need help picking/making a servant you may ask me and I will do what I can to help.

Long list of FAQ's

You may be a servant, or a master though I encourage you to play both in order to more easily weave the roleplay together. You may have a pick of any of the classes not already chosen. Remember if a partner leaves this roleplay I'm controlling all the NPC's, plus a set of my own I can't likely hold onto more characters.

I intend to play a pair. I will wait to see who we need before picking my classes. If anyone wants to know my preference it goes Saber, Lancer, Rider however I will play the other classes if need be.

Magic in this rp will go by a DnD system of things were you can only cast one spell so many times before you need to let it cooldown usually for a long rest period. For example "I use fireball!" "3/4 uses left for the day". The alternative is a long, and tedious custom system that I'd need to develop just to measure the arbitrary limits of the Nasuverse magic.

Servants MUST be from existing legends, or fairy tales. Modern servants aren't allowed the most I'll allow is someone like George Washington, or a already canon modern servant like Billy the Kid. The characters may not be from other fictional works such as Guts from Berserk. The cut off is roughly around the spanish american war, to world war 1.

In the event that we don't get enough people for this roleplay the left over spots will be NPC Magi from the church, or mage association.

Enemy magic will be mostly nonstandard. They will be using a lot of illusionist, curse, and trick based magics as that is their family's specialty. Keep that in mind. With that being said we will have some of our own to counteract some of their stuff.

Some characters will be biased in this roleplay. Pre-existing affiliations will make them gang up on a player character should they (the player) chose to insult, or deride them in some way.

Why was this moved from advanced to casual? Because there is a lack of interest like I said. This can still work as a casual roleplay. I'll be looking for up to four/three people to start this.

Why is my name in the title of this thread? Because I feel A LOT of people look into a type moon roleplay see my name after looking at it, and immediately leave. For one reason or another people don't seem to like me so I'm just saving myself from disappointment of checking in and seeing names that i know won't show actual interest.

Any other questions you have may go below or on the OOC. If you're interested say so below.

Fate/Darkened Moon

@Reflection@ManyThings In the case that the other two from the interest check don't show up, which I'm almost certain they won't at this point as I've heard nothing despite multiple mentions, and even a direct comment to scallop. do you want me to make the IC when you two are finished?

Fate/Darkened Moon

@Reflection What does the the nevermore phantasm do exactly? You're not exactly state what that raven does, and or what weaknesses it may have. Furthermore unless I'm mistaken Stylus is really overpowered as long as there is someone fearful nearby he can leech them for mana?

Fate/Darkened Moon

@ReflectionAlright fair enough with divinity both of the known foreigners have it but you'll need to bring it down to B, or C. Both the foreigners have it as B.

Alright I've thought about it a bit and I believe that it should just be a separate skill. Collector is meant for physical objects mostly to my knowledge. Collector in terms of a mental state would be I guess something like 'Fearmonger' or what have you in name.

Fate/Darkened Moon

I was not planning on allowing extra classes but I'll consider it for the moment to be fair. Beloved Overseas has no reason to be there. Its basically an excuse to give him a miniature locational bonus anywhere that isn't east asia. The whole reason I chose poland as the location for this rp was to prevent exactly that sort of thing.

Throne of Azathoth is not allowed. That is out of Lovecraft's handbook foreigner he may be he has literal no ties to Lovecraft himself in his life, and noble phantasms are exactly things that were a part of the creator's life. If anything that would be a part of Lovecraft School. As such you may as well take divinity away as Poe is nowhere near divine status in anything. He was a normal man in life. If I were to make Lovecraft himself he would not have divinity.

Collector level EX is a bit of a stretch you're saying he's on par or around level with Gilgamesh in terms of hoarding things.

Fate/Darkened Moon

Alright I put rider down as reserved. Guess I'll take Saber.
