At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Mordred
"Grrr... is that any way to treat your savior, you little bastard?!" Mordred snapped. She'd kept him from... whatever the hell the moth man was going to try and do, but of course he just has to be snarky rather then actually be grateful... Regardless, she quickly turned to face her enemy only to watch as he was bound in some kind of magical pink ribbon. It wasn't hard to guess who'd handled that, but it meant that he couldn't go after Andersen again.
And that he couldn't move. He couldn't dodge or escape.
After pausing only for a moment to listen to his rambling, Mordred rested Clarent on her shoulder and rolled her eyes.
"Blah blah blah," Mordred replied, brushing it off with a wave of her free hand. Like she was going to listen to a single thing this scumbag said. "I don't care how you try to justify it. I don't care at all. You released poison into the air where any innocent person could walk right in and die."
The blonde knight's armored feet clanked against the ground as she approached the man, lowering Clarent off her shoulder. Her expression was grim only for a moment, before turning into a rather vicious grin. She hated this bastard, so the chance to dispense some justice, get rid of the kind of person who didn't care how many people got hurt...
"And you don't even care. Not one bit. If some kid had walked in and choked to death on your poison, you've just brushed it off. So I'm not gonna let you live."
Mordred raised her sword and-

The rest of the day proceeded relatively smoothly.
Fanilly was quite distressed over forgetting about her cousin's arrival. She apologized profusely, and introduced Lyrie to the knights and tried to help her get settled in.
Bethany, for the most part, remained relatively quiet, deeply focused on her research. She left only when it was very late, taking a few volumes with her after discussing it with the librarian.
The night was uneventful. Certainly, it did not herald what the next day brought.
The morning and midday were as normal. Nothing, in particular, seemed to be amiss.
It was about evening when the herald came, however.
Fanilly quickly met them, and was greeted with a horrifying message.
"It's an orc raid, they brought trolls and... and... we don't even know how they got there!" the herald cried frantically. "We've sent a guards, but... but we need you, we need the Iron Roses. Please, help!"
There wasn't really any time to try and figure out how the orcs had managed to show up at a village so near to the capital. Not if the raid was in progress. Brennan was nearby, and named for, the Brennan forest. Perhaps they had used the forest as cover and snuck through there. But regardless of how it had happened, there was absolutely no more time to waste.
"Iron Roses, we must move quickly!" Fanilly declared, as she swiftly moved to the armory. "We must go in force and destroy these orc raiders, the defenders can only hold out so long!"

@Crusader Lord: Hmmm... I'm still kind of unsure mostly because I'm trying to avoid involving deities in this. ^^;
@Noodles: Koishi as appearance is throwing me off a little! Aside from that, it'd be nice if she would have magitech of some kind but she looks acceptable.
@Raineh Daze: Accepted.
@Crimson Paladin: Hmm, after some thought, I think he's a little too steampunk and not enough magitech. No real character issues though.
@Lunar: This... is still kind of standard fantasy. ^^;
@Ixa: Looks good!

@KoL: Accepted.
@Ixa: KoL approached me about the idea for a robot character first, and I think we're pushing it with too many. ^^;
@Lunar: Yes.
@Crusader Lord: I'm a little uncertain about magic directly from deities, let me think about this.

Saber - Arturia Pendragon
Arturia felt her blade bite through the massive whale creature's flesh, discharging a blast of prana directly into the enormous creature. Unfortunately, it failed to pierce any vital areas, instead making the monster thrash and roar in pain. Certainly, repeatedly piercing through it with blasts of prana would eventually fell even a phantasmal beast, but that would take far too long to slay the creature. Keeping her blade firmly lodged in the whale-like creature's flesh in order to avoid being knocked free, the Saber-class Servant noted Ozymandias's advice. Certainly, he was correct. The monster was far too large to rely on regular attack. Targeted assaults on its head or chest were the best way to slay it!
The blonde knight shot to her feet, Excalibur's gleaming form still buried partially in the beast's flesh. Leaning forward, Arturia slammed one armored foot down and erupted forward into a sprint. As she ran, she dragged her sword through the whale creature's flesh, parting it as she ran and sending a spray of blood up in her wake. She could feel it, the massive beast's entire body vibrating with each sound, and as it opened its mouth she could see the light building...!
She wouldn't allow it to attack again!
Saber finally drew her Excalibur out of the monster's flesh as she reached its head, before driving the holy sword point-down directly into its upper jaw, aiming to force its head down and slam its jaws shut!

Pretty uncommon, the most human ones especially are probably very rare.
@KoL: Hmmm... first or last are the ones I immediately lean towards, but I can't decide if I like robot-ninja more or not. Hmmm.
Either one of those would be good really.
Either one of those would be good really.
@Ixa: There are, yes.
@KoL: Hmmm... honestly, either one of those would work pretty well. The saboteur is exactly a kind of character I was hoping to get in this early on, but the princess seems like a really interesting idea too.
If I had to pick one I'd say the saboteur probably fits a little better? Mostly on account of, as much as I like the second idea too, a Princess becoming part of Tinnec's government organization makes slightly less sense.
Not that it's bad, it's just that it was hard to pick between the two. ^^;
