Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Fantasy Knight RP

I'll be updating tomorrow.

Fate/Rising Sun

Saber - Beyond Peerless

• Name: Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi
• Class: Saber
• Appearance: Black hair, light skintone. She's actually pretty short.
• Personality: Saber's attitude at first glance is best described as somewhat roguish. She likes alcohol, attractive people, and good food. However, she also has a strong sense of duty and justice, in spite of her seemingly lackadaisical behavior. She will never let an injustice go unnoticed. She will never allowed herself to falter. The edge of her blade is always keen and always ready... even if she likes to let loose and relax at times. Indeed, for all she is fond of parties, Saber remains a samurai who travelled chiefly to hone her skills. Her travels never lost their goal, she always sought to obtain the peak of kenjutsu, even as she excelled as the true master of the blade in her clan. To see the beauty and elegance of Saber's sword in battle was something that many a foe witnessed before their last moments. For all she may seem like nothing more then a rogue at times, Saber shines brightest when she is in battle, and indeed wishes to battle skilled opponents whenever she has the chance. There is a reason that she is remembered as one who upheld honorable conduct and defended the weak.
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: D
  • Agility: A++
  • Mana: E
  • Luck: A
  • Noble Phantasm: A+
• Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance: C
  • Riding: B
• Personal Skills:
  Shinkage-ryu: A++. A master of the blade already, in spite of being younger then her father. At the age of 9 she was already filling in as an instructor for him, though at the time she was dressed as a boy. Saber has utterly absorbed the secrets of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, becoming a transcendent wielder of the sword and surpassing all those who have shared her blood. As a result of this impressive skill, she is also resistant to mental interference.
  
  • No-Sword Capture: A+. Surpassing her father in Shinkage-ryu, it is only natural that Saber excels even when unarmed. Even her hands are a sufficient weapon against an enemy who wields a sword.
  • The Journey of Yagyu Jubei: A. Saber is known for a twelve-year journey she went on after her expulsion from the Edo court. Already a master of the blade, it is during this time that she honed her skills even further. By viewing her existence as a Servant as a continuation of her journey, it is possible for Saber's abilities to be honed even further and provide bonuses to her parameters.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Hidden Eye - Constraining Oneself as a Means of Self-Improvement
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Anti-Unit(Self)
  • Appearance: The tsuba eyepatch over Saber's left eye.
  • Effects: A self-sealing Noble Phantasm, the tsuba repurposed as an eyepatch over Saber's left eye does not cover an injury. Rather, it was devised by her as means to test herself, to fight with only a single eye in use. By fighting with this hardship, she would be able to hone her skills even further. This Noble Phantasm has no function other than providing this restraint. As a result, its removal allows Saber to fight with her full potential, unsealing her second Noble Phantasm and raising her physical parameters by one rank. Saber's high rank in Agility applies only to her drawing and swinging her sword, but her overall ability is raised to A+ when her eyepatch is removed.
  
  
  • Name: Tenken Musou: One who Has Transcended Peerless
  • Rank: A+
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: N/A
  • Effects: All that is considered is the blade and its target. In an instant, the sword is all that matters. A perfection of Shinkage-ryu, surpassing even her father who was lauded as peerless, Saber clears her mind of all distract and delivers a decisive strike born from a place of emptiness. For in her mind, in that instant, there is not a single worldly distraction. Her roguish ways fall apart, and for a moment there is nothing but a sword that is beyond peerless. Before this strike, nothing exists, and the opponent is cut even if they attempt to defend, before their arms can even move. It is a magnificent blow that cannot be answered and cuts flesh and armor and stone as if it was mere paper. A sure-killing technique that can only be foiled by self-recovery or evasion.
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Changes: As Jubei's life is largely mysterious, it turns out that he was actually a woman. Her brash attitude and the fact that she was female are the reason she was initially met with disapproval before her travels.

Fate/Rising Sun

I redesigned my Jubei a bit, I think she looks a lot better now.

Also, yes, her A++ Agility is only in reference to her drawing and swinging her sword, though when she removes her eyepatch she does go up to A+ Agility overall.

Given how much they talk up Munenori, it was actually kind of hard making his kid even better then he was in according with historical accounts.

Fate/Rising Sun

After some thought, I think I will be going with a female Yagyu Jubei. I think Jubei's actually very easy to justifiably genderbend looking things over again, and some affirmation helped me with that.

Fate/Rising Sun

@KoL: Hmmm, then maybe I will go with that.

Fate/Rising Sun

Meanwhile since someone took Okita I'm really struggling since I know I'd want a knight class or maybe Rider for a Japanese Servant but since I feel awkward trying to play guys it's difficult to find someone who has a good stuff to make into NPs and is either female or I feel like I can justify a genderbend. D:

Like I think Yagyu Jubei would make an awesome Saber but there's no justifying a genderbend there. And Nakazawa Koto and Sasaki Rui are both really cool historical female kenjutsu masters, but I can't really see anything to turn into an NP.

Fate/Rising Sun

Alright I need to figure out what I'm doing.

Touhou ~ Distorted Records of Parallel Fantasy (Now Accepting)

When the owner of the yokai book library appeared and pleaded with them to stop before they actually came to blows, Youmu's hand drifted away from Roukanken's hilt. It was what the suddenly-appearing sister of the underground Satori had babbled about, too... it didn't sound like it was something that Hinanawi would have been involved with. But it definitely sounded like an incident... while her duty to Yuyuko-sama was paramount, she also couldn't let this go unaddressed. It wasn't right to leave people potentially in danger or otherwise let an incident continue unchecked.

It seemed as if quite a few people had appeared too, including the menreiki...

"... Very well, if there's an incident it can't be overlooked," she said, finally, with one last wary glance towards Hinanawi.
