Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

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.

Yuriko gave her Servant a smile as the white-haired little girl adjusted her hat. Ah, even if this didn't seem difficult now...

That didn't mean it didn't feel it. There were plenty of reasons to ensure that Jack was well-cared for. To begin with, the fact that Jack the Ripper was in fact a little girl was one on its own. The kind of life a little girl must have lead to result in the killings that occurred, for a little girl to be so violent, well... that said enough on its own.

Besides, even killing someone in cold blood didn't mean you were forever tainted.

Yuriko knew that well enough.

Aside from that, it was also important to try and make sure that her Servant was not unhappy simply due to logic. It was the best way to make sure there were no incidents, given Jack's nature. So keeping her happy was both for her sake and the sake of others.

It only made sense.

That being said, it was easier said then done. Yuriko had never had younger siblings and never dealt with children very much in general. So really she was winging it.

But she was winging it for the sake of a really cute little girl, damn it!

"I'll let you pick out your clothes when we get there," she said, taking her Servant's hand in her own and guiding her downstairs. At least she hoped that would work. She was prepared to use a guiding hand if Jack's picks turned out inappropriate. Based on the outfit she was summoning in this wasn't exactly impossible...

"We'll be heading down to the shopping district," Yuriko continued. She lived in a fairly expensive apartment, large enough to have plenty of room for both her and Jack. She'd made sure of it. "There's bound to be a lot of people there, so stay close and don't get lost, okay?"

With that, Yuriko opened the door and exited her apartment, leading the pale little girl by the hand as she did. Jack wasn't the biggest fan of the sun, so Yuriko had purchased the sunhat to help with that. It seemed to work well enough.

@LukasVolkov: Okay, overall not too bad!

Just a couple things I'm seeing that need some tweaks: Endurance at A+ is crazy high for her, given her feats in life. I'd probably lower that a couple ranks. C+ maybe?

I'm a little perplexed by the high Mana rank as well.

Her first skill is a bit overcomplicated and incomprehensible. ^^; I'd maybe alter that to be more of an Analysis skill that lets her pick up and analyze enemy combat styles on the fly and thus understand how to counter them more effectively? Still fitting for a duelist who never lost a duel.

Other than that not seeing any issues.

La Maupin is one of my favorite historical figures, so hoping to see you really do the girl-hungry duelist with no self-restraint justice!

Edit: Actually could you explain the first NP more? I'm a little confused as to what it actually is meant to do.
Saber - Benienma


There was a distinctive flurry of golden lights. In their wake there appeared what looked to be a little girl with flowing red hair and a single black horn on her forehead. Patience was one of many virtues that was should be possessed by one who desired to be both a judge and an innkeeper. A judge was one who patiently listened to testimonies and would be able to deliver a fair verdict. After all, it was the difference between condemnation and salvation, between punishment and reward. An innkeeper had to be patient with their guests, listen to their needs and complaints, and respond accordingly. Ideally, a good innkeeper would have no complaints, but an accurate prediction of the future, of what may happen, was impossible. And of course, patience was indeed something required of someone currently waiting for her Master to realize her current strategy was rather terribly flawed.

Thankfully, the Saber-class Servant Benienma had plenty of patience. In order to accompany her Master to in this endeavor she had assigned some of her assistants to care for the inn. As of now, the tiny, redheaded girl was wearing an outfit that her Master had purchased for her. Initially, she had asserted that such a thing wasn't necessary, but Hakuno had insisted... and... ah! It was... it was perfect! The shirt even featured a picture of a lovely bird upon it, and the skirt was quite easy to move in! The thigh-high stockings were similar to her usual legwear, and while these shoes were quite different from the geta she had been used to they were very comfortable.

The kindness of her Master, buying her this outfit even though it was not required, was something that would be held near and dear to Benienma's heart.

The only sign of her usual clothing was her hat. Within it, as usual, sat one of her sparrows, currently preening itself and peering about as Beni waited for her Master. Their duties as part of Fusang's volunteer law enforcement were incredibly important, in order to preserve the safety of the innocent!

Indeed, her Master's drive to do such a thing had solidified Kishinami Hakuno as someone Benienma was proud to serve.

That being said, the current strategy the brunette had elected to take... left much to be desired. Attempting to lure in purveyors of Black Market Mystic codes wasn't in and of itself unwise. Indeed, there had been a mysterious upswing in cases of these Mystic Codes appearing in criminal circles. Just who was distributing them and how they were currently evading law enforcement was most certainly a serious issue. However...

Wearing backwards hat and hanging out in an alleyway was not the way to handle this.

"Masta, I am not sure if this is the best way to try and catch them," Benienma said, with a frown as she approached, "Benienma doesn't think this seems very convincing dechi..."

She had to he honest. It was the only way to help.

Saber - Arturia Pendragon


It had ended in light. The last time the Servant King Arthur had been summoned, the Holy Grail had been wiped away to prevent the world being consumed by All the Evils of the World.

It was the only right conclusion there could have been.

The Holy Grail was not the answer. It never had been. And her wish...

It had not been the right path, had it?

But this time...

... This time, she had been summoned in the apartment of a teenaged girl. There was no Holy Grail War. She had been able to discern that fact immediately. There was no great threat to the world. And yet, she had been summoned all the same, a fragment of the crown that once sat upon her head used as a catalyst.

It had been difficult for her to understand the circumstances, even with the knowledge imparted to her by the summoning. But the summoning was legitimate, and she was a knight. It was on her honor that she gave her services to one who had contracted her.

Ritsuko... Fujimaru Ritsuko. Strangely, there was something about her that felt so very familiar.

To be summoned in such peaceful times, and yet in the company of an entire city of Servants. It was surreal, to be certain. Arturia Pendragon had never experienced such a feeling... the magical energy was present throughout the city. Not only of the Servants, but this aberrant island was was flush with magical energy. These conditions were not unlike those of the air in Camelot.

But on top of all of this... the King of Knight's new Master was a kind girl, one she felt comfortable serving, even if she still failed to understand why she had been summoned.

But on top of that...

Her Master's cooking. Her Master's cooking was truly amazing. Yes, it was food of great quality in great quantity, exactly as she had desired! While her Master's focus seemed to be Japanese cooking(understandably, given her nationality) she had shown a great command of a variety of dishes during their short time together. The blonde girl-knight had eaten excellently and in large amounts since her summoning.

Another surreal feature of her current summoning was to simply walk in the open air without any attempt to hide her nature. Granted, Arturia felt this made it far easier to protect her Master from potential threats(and indeed, at all times she was prepared for this fact), but her previous two summonings had required her to wear some manner of garment that concealed her nature. Here, she could walk down thre street in full armor, and saw other Servants behaving similarly.

Indeed, her Master had chosen to step out today to buy food. However, they also seemed to have taken a detour to a district that was selling a variety of different outfits...

"Ah?"

Arturia paused for a moment. She would look good in anything...? That was an overstatement, undeniably. Certainly she was not so beautiful as to look good in any outfit, did she? Besides, such concerns were secondary. She was a Knight.

"... I am not so beautiful, Master," she replied, finally. To waste money on buying her beautiful clothing would be wrong. Arturia would not require such things of her Master. As for what she wanted to wear... Truthfully, she had been uncertain how to answer. She paused for a moment.

"As for my clothing... I would prefer things that are easy to move in."

Arturia glanced towards the clothing on display. Surely, she was not suited to such things, was she...?

@Rin
Mimura Nanako


The brunette opened her eyes slowly.

For a few moments, she wondered just what was going on, and why her right shoulder ached so badly. Then, slowly, slowly, memories began to filter back into her head.

It had been a few days now, since it happened. She didn't even know when she'd fallen asleep today, either.

But her arm was still in a sling, shoulder bandaged. Maybe she should have been glad she could fall asleep with that on... or maybe not.

The shadow Servants. Meltryllis pelted with those crossbow that somehow struck her even if she dodged. And in that last moment... Before the final blow could be struck...

She'd used her own body to prevent it from piercing Meltryllis's heart.

She'd passed out from bloodloss shortly after that, and awakened in the hospital. Apparently, her shoulder would heal just fine after the attention they'd given it, but it would be for the best to allow it to rest for a while.

Nanako took a deep breath and sat back in her seat.

She was still just glad Meltryllis hadn't been killed. Even after everything... she knew, now. She knew that the Alter Ego didn't hate her.

But that wasn't all that was on her slowly-waking mind.

The shadow Servants. BB had directed them to take on the Shadows previously too. Where were they coming from? Aah, it was so strange, too... what could possibly be summoning things like that? She didn't know too much about Shadow Servants(she didn't know too much about regular Servants, either, to be honest) but she knew they were something like remnants, or fragments of real Heroic Spirits. What was drawing things like that forth?

And why were they hurting people...?

For a few moments, the newly-awakened Nanako was simply deep in thought...

Yuriko T. Louvyngyr


The young woman adjusted her tie.

Today, she had to undertake something crucial. Something she had struggled with before, but she wouldn't again. Today, she was going to take on a task that had previously seemed monumental. But given the devastating events prior, there was no question of its necessity. The current state of things was unacceptable after all. There was only one left. She had to fix this, and she had to fix it as soon as possible.

There was only one resort.

She lifted it up, and...

Yuriko placed the sunhat on her Servant's head.

"Alright, Jack, are you ready?" she asked.

She hadn't been spending enough time with her Servant recently, anyway... And given what happened to one of the other two outfits she'd bought for her Servant, leaving her with only this white sundress, she was really in need of more clothes. After all, the outfit she'd been summoned with was unacceptable for going out. Really, it wasn't acceptable for most things in polite company.

It was surreal. Yuriko understood, certainly, why she'd been provided this catalyst. An enforcer whose skills laid in killing, an enforcer who had most certainly killed before. Providing someone like that with the catalyst for a legendary serial killer to summon as an Assassin-class Servant had only made sense. She'd accepted it, aware of the potential dangers of summoning someone like that.

She was confident in her ability to control even a Servant of such a nature.

What she had not been prepared for, however, was to summon a child. An innocent little girl who called her 'Mother'. How did she even deal with being called Mother?! She wasn't a Mother!

And not long after being summoned, when the Association had provided her with a chimera for use as a test of her Servant's capabilities...

That innocent little girl had been caked entirely in blood without a single scratch on her.

But that didn't mean she had to be treated as a killer, did it?

And that meant she needed acceptable clothing. But now she was down to only one outfit, after the other had been torn to shreds(how did that even happen?!)

@Raineh Daze
@Rin: Accepted.
I'll get intros up after I get a good chance to talk with people about what we're doing!
Okay, I'll post tomorrow sorry for the delay. ^^;
Fanilly's mind raced as she tried to consider who could have been killed. If it was someone close to the assassin, would they have been a nem? She didn't recall ever seeing a nem before. Was it someone from before her time? Or were they even a nem? Was it someone who had been slain by the crown instead? All of these questions ran through her mind rapidly as he gaze remained focused on the tiny pale girl. But it wasn't just that... the horrendous manner of silencing her couldn't have possibly been done by the same people who had trained her to perform assassinations, could it? Such a grievous, awful, cruel injury could far too easily have killed her.. and on top of that it was almost too terrible to look at. The mere thought of someone, even someone who had tried to assassinate royalty, enduring that... who would do such a thing?

'SISTER'

Her sister.

They had killed her sister?

The nem was trembling as her hands clutched the paper and quill, she was quaking even though she didn't attempt to struggle. There were tears in her eyes... Had it been recent...?

"... Who killed her? How did she die...?" Fanilly found herself asking. It was the only possible way they could discover some kind of lead, some way of understanding what was going on...

There was a few moments of silence as the quill scraped paper once more.

'NOT DEAD YET'

'DOOMED NOW'

'YOUR FAULT'

The Princess had turned away at the sight of the grievous injury to the nem's throat, hand over her mouth. For someone unaccustomed to violence, a grisly sight like that even if it had long since healed was enough to turn someone's stomach.

"... I-I'm sorry, she... she... wh-who could have done that? Wh-why...?" she stammered, her body shaking as her eyes slowly drifted back towards the diminutive girl...

The guards did not lower their weapons. One was shorter then the other, and more slender. The other was an absolute mountain of the man.

The shorter of the two, a young woman, spoke.

"I'll admit I'd hoped the night would go far better than this."

"What is going on?" a much sharper and much younger voice came from nearby. The source was the grey-haired young girl, Veileena Cal. Beside her stood the silent, black-armored figure of Haelstadt, seeming perhaps ever so slightly more tense for action.

The both of the had apparently been rather distant from the assassination when it had occurred, and given the Lady Cal's youth and small size the sight had likely been obscured from her entirely.

"I have heard cries of an assassin," she continued, "If such grievous action against the crown has been conducted, I am certain that all those capable of combat should be made avaliable, should they not?"

@Kyubi: Sorry to hear that!

Anyway, I may go ahead and post again. A fairly quick and short one just to ideally get people on the right track.
