LEVELED UP!

A new power for Cadet's Scoutfly Cage: self-replenishment. There is a small cage attached to the Cadet's hip filled with insects called Scoutflies - they light up in different colors to signify danger and can be used to track and locate people, monsters or items. The flies now self-replenish, no need to worry about restocking! They breed quick!
***

And just like that the, quest was complete! Well, maybe "just like that" was a bit of an exaggeration - it hadn't been easy for a lot of them, but the whole crew was alive and (mostly) well. The pain from the Ace Cadet's own wounds dissipated with the effects of the Courier's wide reaching healing. The hunter made quick work of the already injured plowhorse, though as if in a flash by the time he turned back to observe how the team was faring against the downed Brachydios, the battle was over.

A quick glance in the direction of Michael and Franklin to make sure they were okay now that all the threats were gone, and the Cadet began his jog back over to the other side of the hill.

"Nice job guys!" he cheered, "a few more of those and we'll have a nice set of ar--wait wait it's body! Aw man, the carves!"

The young man was dismayed as he watched the Brute Wyvern's corpse turn to nothing but ash, nothing left behind but it's spirit. He wasn't quick enough to reach it in time, but once reaching the glowing, ghostly image of the Brachydios he was more intrigued about the spirit itself. Earlier in the Guild Hall he'd seen the members of the group squash the things and get items - and as tempted as he was to do that now, Cadet was more than used to the Hunter's Guild taking the biggest portion of hunts and handing out rewards to the hunters later. Instead, he pushed it closer to the nearest Dry Bones, and joined in on turtle skeletons' cleaning up the area. Physically, he was fit as a fiddle - but for some reason he was a little tired, when normally he'd be looking to accept a new quest already. Maybe dealing with all the totally new sights, sounds, and in general craziness of the night? Yeah, probably. Helping the Dry Bones was a good way to wind down after the battle's high tension, plus getting a good look at the still mysterious spirits was helping him get over missing his chance to get any souvenirs from the monster's hide.

With the battlefield picked clean, Cadet made his way back to the group's ride and plopped himself into the back with a goofy grin on his face. "Everybody's all right, right? I think that went pretty good."

Whether it was the snug fit making for warm and kind of comfortable conditions, or the smooth cruise back into town or both, Cadet found himself dozing a little. Some of the other occupants of the vehicle were already snoring, so he figured it as alright to join in. His body didn't ache more than usual after a big hunt, but his mind was still trying to wrap itself around a lot of new concepts. Most of them he easily accepted, but it was still like flexing muscle that some would argue the red head didn't use often enough. Surrounded by the rest of the squad, Ace Cadet tucked his arms around his torso and let his consciousness drift off for the remainder of the ride.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Operation: Ground the Harpy

Eventually Taras got used to the sound of the girls' voices as they chatted, and was able to fall into a slight doze. It would be very irresponsible to fall completely asleep, so he didn't - though even if he'd wanted to, the conditions in the back of the small aircraft didn't make it all that easy. The tones of the women's voices were easy enough to get used to, but surprisingly they would be what would have kept him awake. He was Russian, growing up in the Motherland made the cold and rush of wind a non-issue when it came to tucking in for the night. Well, still, just because he could have slept in a place like this if he were alone, didn't mean he would like it. Besides, the cold had such a grip on his home country that thick coats, blankets and heaters were abound - that meant that sometimes, like now high in the frigid air, it was actually much colder than he was used to. Oh well, musing for another time.

The sound of music playing did nothing to stir Taras from his stone-like position, but it did bring some curious thoughts to his mind. Perhaps one of his fellow agents had such an ability. How useless, he thought, though it was only a spur of the moment appraisal. Giving it a little more thought, he concocted quite a few ways it may actually come in hand. ...how useful.

Just as he was guessing as to the identity of the music-wielding agent, his first suspect spoke up with what seemed to be the intent to irritate him. Though he didn't show much of it on the outside, she was succeeding. A little.

"Heh, <when we are done here I will personally make sure> Britain <is next in the Union, if you like. Then we can truly be comrades.>" He spoke quickly and smoothly, the beginnings of a smirk playing at his mouth. From his experience nothing frightened or frustrated the Western allies more than hearing the big, scary communist talk unions and other countries. He had a feeling that Miss Yonaka wasn't the type to be spooked so easily, but he was feeling petulant.

As the plane mercifully began it's descent, Taras finally opened his eyes again. He peered as best he could out of the craft, but it was hard to see. Instead, he simply waited for the moment the doors would open. When they did open, Taras deftly scooped up the pallet and exited with surprising swiftness for someone his size. Understandably, he was very eager to get off of the plane.

Without so much as a look back at the shuttle making it's way back into the air, Taras also made his way over to the Frenchmen that would be assisting them. Though their trek to Paris would begin tomorrow, he was looking forward to seeing how exactly the resistance operated. With the pallet tucked safely in his grip, the Soviet at least hoped wherever they would go would have some leg room this time.

Cooking Fantasy maybe?

I know Delicious in Dungeon, MonHun and Golden Kamuy but not Battle Chef Brigade - but I will be checking it out thanks to this thread. That being said, I might be interested! Something goofy and light-hearted with a hint of danger sounds very nice.

Project Zasshu

Woo! Okay, I'll ask again here but direct the question at everyone this time. What's the preferred aesthetic? Realistic/monstrous or more anime? 'Cause in my brainstorming I've been working with some more realistic/mild nightmare fuel FCs but if that won't mesh with everyone else obviously I'll change course.

Fate/Lost Epoch

Woohoo, my characters are up! If anyone is interested in them and may want to match up let me know!

Fate/Lost Epoch

Master: (of Saber)

waaah, subarashii!!

Name:
_{[ 彩人志元 ]}
Jigen Saito
^{Male | 17}

Titles/Nicknames:
Subarashii Saito! / The Amazing Saito

Appearance:
Jigen is a Japanese boy of slight build. What he lacks in muscle he makes up for a little in height, being above average for his age. His growth spurt came on pretty fast, so naturally he's a bit clumsy with his steps. Having lived a mostly safe life so far, the only real scars that Jigen has are on his hands - pale, smooth grown over burns from a time he attempted a magic trick involving fire. Needless to say it didn't go well.

Command Spells:

Hider

Alignment:
Lawful Good

Rank:
[FRAME]

Objective for the Grail:
"Is 'world peace' too much to ask for? Okay, okay, um... a harem? Just kidding! What I'd really like is to make a lot of friends, and make a lot of people happy. More than what one person could do alone, I guess."

Personality:
Friendly. That's the word most would use to describe Jigen. Maybe even that he tries too hard to be friendly. He's spirited young man who is a little desperate for attention, latching himself onto his own interests and anyone that shows any interest in him. He goes out of his way to help people and does other generally "good" things to get others to like him. Due to his lonely home life, he seeks validation from others. Sometimes his persistence can drive people away, which makes him panic and try even harder to keep them around. He moves through hobbies fleetingly to try and make himself happier when he's alone, and recently he's taken up magic tricks - that is, illusions, not magecraft. He enjoys seeing people's reaction to his tricks very much, so this particular hobby has lasted longer than the others.

Biography:
Jigen wasn't born into a wealthy or powerful family. He never aspired to be some shonen hero or shoujo love interest. He is a young man who, in his third year of high school, decided he didn't really want to continue in his father's footsteps and go on to be a no-name salary man.

Growing up as an only child was often lonely for Jigen. The Saito family was just like every other family in the modest area of Fuyuki - small, kept to themselves, and worked hard. Saito's father would often work late nights and his mother would leave for her own work at first light. It was rare that the three of them would be able to get together for a proper meal, but when they did it was always a nice time. Just because they were separated didn't mean they didn't love each other any less. Still, like most people this distance between the family grew as Jigan got older.

What he lacked at home he tried to make up for in school - he was always friendly, volunteering for things, giving things away and trying to help people. His overbearing personality saw many different reactions from his fellow students. Some ignored him, trying to keep their distance and focus on studies. Some liked him and talked with him when they had free time. Others were annoyed by his antics and considered him a suck-up, and others still took advantage of his open, naive nature. He was happiest in his younger days when school life was easier and students got along well with each other. Once starting high school, most other students were busy with their own lives: studying for college entrance exams, working part-time jobs, trying to get girlfriends or otherwise indulge in drama. There were less and less people that Jigen could call "a friend."

This continued loneliness led to Jigen taking up many hobbies. He was no good at sports and wasn't exactly musically inclined, so some of these hobbies were strange. His most recent talent: magic. No, not true magic nor magecraft - the layman's idea of "magic," illusion. He was actually pretty good at it. Of course, either due to a mutation or an forgotten ancestor, Jigen did have some capacity for magecraft, though he didn't know it at first. His affinity made his tricks faster and smoother, but more importantly he was more easily able to entertain people. The brief elation of making someone laugh with surprise was a feeling Jigen would continue to chase few the next few months. He spent more time on his hobby than his schoolwork, and after a short fight with his parents - the first time they'd actually been able to spend time together in a while - Jigen left the house and decided he was going to try and make this work. "This" being magic tricks - but not really, deep down he just loved the easy connection it made with people. An entertainer and his audience.

It was simple coincidence that, after a few strange occurrences later, Jigen was researching true "magic," and got caught up in the holy grail war.

Magic Circuit Switch:
The sound of a curtain being swiftly pulled back.

Number of Magic Circuits: E

Quality of Magic Circuits: C

---

Elemental Affinity: Wind

Magecraft:
Jigen isn't trained in magecraft. Despite the below average state of his magic circuits, he does have some mild talent that is sure to blossom if he survives this war. If his abilities were to bloom, he'd find himself attuned to magic of movements - speeding things up, turning direction, stopping things with a barrier, etc. However, it's unlikely he'd see quick growth during the war itself.

Equipment:
Jigen is a local and didn't expect to take part in any secret mage war. He has nothing exceptional on him. Besides the things he has at home (normal teen boy room and possessions), when summoning he had his backpack, notebooks, "magic" tools, and a hastily borrowed "grimoire" from the old Fuyuki library. It's fake, but he since he was actually able to summon a servant, he assumes it's real.

Exceptional Benefit: Contacts
Jigen has slowly been become a popular face in town with his "act," delighting the young and old. He has a lot of friendly acquaintances that might be willing to help him, but in particular the staff at his high school have been buttered up by him so much that they'd be happy to do him any favors. This doesn't really amount to much, but if he needs to borrow anything, hide out, or send a message he has the means to.

^Berserker

Name:

Tutankhamen

Title(s):

The Boy Pharaoh, King Tut, Beloved of Amen-Ra

Class:

Berserker

Gender:

Male

Attributes:

[MAN]

Alignment:

Lawful Evil

Personality:

Berserker is fully aware of the curse attached to his Spirit Origin. He was already a sensitive soul in life, but the knowledge of his curse makes him into more a depressing person. Although pessimistic, he is devout and will follow any order his master gives him. He will try to remain a stoic, noble personality for as long as possible, but as time goes on his facade will fade and he will be more prone to sarcastic comments, angry teenage outbursts, and genuine sadness.

Objective for the Grail:

"This 'Pharaoh's Curse' is an insult... I will erase it."

Biography:

Wiki Link - TL;DR Berserker was a young pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, taking the throne after the death of the previous pharaoh at age eight. His father left the country in turmoil, so most of Berserker's reign was spent reversing decisions his father made and reinstating religion and places of worship that had been neglected. He was a popular leader with both Egyptian citizens and foreign dignitaries - often receiving gifts of all kinds. Although trained in archery and magics, Berserker was a small, frail boy and did not participate in the few battles that took place during his reign. After ten years of ruling Egypt, he died suddenly and mysteriously.

Much later on, archaeologists discovered his tomb, sparking widespread interest in Egyptology. Even after his death, it seemed that Berserker was a popular pharaoh. His death legacy of magic items, gold and jewels was eventually overshadowed by something else found his tomb: an alleged curse. This "curse" captured the mind of people around the world, claiming that those that angered a pharaoh's spirit would soon die a mysterious death just like Berserker did. This curse, whether it was real or not, became entwined with Berserker's legend. Because of this, when Tut is summoned into the Berserker class, the curse will begin to consume his Saint Graph and rewrite his personality.

Weapons:

Berserker can summon a particular item to aid him in battle. This is the Meteoric Dagger, a gift said to be sent from the heavens. Despite this, it is not a divine construct. When summoned by Tut in his Berserker class, it is nothing but a mere dagger.

Parameters:

STR: D | END: C | AGI: D | MGI: B | LCK: C

Class Skills:

• Mad Enhancement D+ ~ ??
  • The class skill of Berserker. At it's base rank of D+, it boosts only his STR and END by one rank (already reflected in his parameters). When an enemy specifically makes a slight against Egyptian Gods or pharaohs, the ranks are further increased by one more when engaging said enemy. As the Pharaoh's Curse takes over his Saint Graph over the course of the war, the rank of Mad Enhancement itself will increase appropriately.

Personal Skills:

• Cursed Body A
  • A skill that both helps and harms Berserker. Cursed Body makes it so that any spells that can be considered 'curses' have no effect on Berserker. If he is so inclined, Berserker can consume the curse (transforming it into mana) or counter it with his own. On the flip side, this skill also represents the binding of the 'Pharaoh's Curse' to Berserker's legend, a source of dismay for him. Eventually the curse will completely take over his body and spirit, increasing his madness.
• Divinity C
  • A pharaoh presides over both man and gods, and are considered the offspring or reincarnation of gods themselves. In his purest form Berserker may have had a higher rank of this skill, but his corrupted legend has decreased it. Divinity makes it possible to break through skills that grant divine protection.
• Heavenly Lotus Sounds C
  A skill utilizing Berserker's magic trumpets of silver and bronze - however, as a Berserker, only the bronze can be used. The horn normally compels those who hear it to do battle, but when blown by Berserker, it instead sparks temporary insanity. It is considered mental interference, and can be resisted by a sufficiently high rank.

Noble Phantasm:
Name: Nebkheperure Ẋer Ausȧr
Title: Gilded Mask of Death
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-50
Targets: 999
Description:

The shame of Tutankhamen,
the invocation of one of the most famous curses in the world,
the crystallization of the so-called Pharaoh's Curse phenomenon.

Weak in life and in death, this is the only true way for Berserker to fight. Activating this Noble Phantasm wraps Tutankhamen's famed death mask around his head, instantly revealing his identity. An aura of dread radiates from the mask, and cloths emerge from it to wrap about Berserker's body in stereotypical "mummy" fashion. The wrappings can be used to ensnare enemies, but provide no defense - however the mask, inscribed with a protective spell, raises his END and MGI by one rank. When the mask is on, any who "desecrate" the body of the pharaoh must pass a steep LCK check or become cursed. That is, any who attack, touch, or are touched by Berserker. The curse's effects are amplified each time a "desecration" occurs. Non-violent touches and ranged attacks raise the curse's amplification at a slower rate.

The Pharaoh's Curse is one of misfortune. It takes effect whenever those affected are within range of Berserker. Once the curse is applied, it can only be removed by an extremely powerful mage on the level of the Age of Gods - not even Berserker can remove it. When out of range, the effects of the curse are paused until the victim re-enters Berserker's range. It's effect is this: those cursed see their parameters other than LCK steadily decline. If the curse has been amplified, it also drains away their mana and life essence. The more the curse has been amplified against the target, the faster the drain becomes. This NP is especially deadly for humans. Berserker's master is not immune to it, so they should take care not to touch him while the NP is active.

Activating this Noble Phantasm also as an adverse effect on Berserker. While the mask is on, it speeds up the rate at which his own curse devours his spirit and increases his madness. Berserker can deactivate this NP at any time (though this does not stop those cursed from feeling it's effects), but the higher his madness level is, the less likely he is to do so. At a sufficiently high level of madness, it may even take the use of a command spell to deactivate.

Before I get too deep into brainstorming what is the character aesthetic you are looking for? @PsyBlade

No promises but I'll at least say I would be keeping an eye on this either way.

Fate/Lost Epoch

Yea I'm doing a Caster from Egypt now and Atalanta changed so we're good in terms of not having too many Greeks I think.

@BB

I'll count that as a point towards going with my Tutankhamen idea
