Servant Saber
Fate/casuality
Causality or causation denotes a directional relationship between one event (called cause) and another event (called effect) which is the consequence (result) of the first.

It has been nearly seven years since the end of the Fifth War of the Holy Grail. It was also to be the last, as the Master of Servant Saber, Shirou Emiya, completed what his father had attempted nearly ten years prior. The utter destruction of the Grail, which had revealed itself to be a wholly evil entity. But could a power so utterly massive, capable of recreating Servants and bringing them into this world, which is simply what one would call a ‘miracle’ or ‘legendary’, really be destroyed outright?
Tokyo is about to find out.

Welcome to the Sixth War of the Holy Grail, Masters.
Choose your Servants wisely.

The Servant
Contrary to the term, Servants are immensely powerful spiritual beings, capable of feats that humans couldn’t possibly achieve even with the aid of magic. The strongest can lift untold tons of weight and toss it about like a toy. The fastest can move at speeds that even the most modern missiles can’t hope to achieve. The wisest have gained knowledge of magic and artifacts that surpass even that of the Mage Council. A single Servant, with a strong Master at their side, could easily lay waste to an entire city in a single day. No modern technology or weapons are capable of harming them, and the same goes for modern magics. Some Servants are so powerful, that even ancient magic from the time of the old Gods and myths do little or no harm.
In each war, one Servant is assigned to one Master, and only seven are chosen from one of seven classes. These classes are:
Saber – Usually a hero of great renown and a master of the art of combat. Typically wields a bladed weapon. (Examples: King Arthur, Miyamoto Musashi, Charlemagne)
Archer – A usually neutral fighter, who is master of fighting at a distance. Most, if not all, of this Servant’s weapons are ranged. They aren’t usually good with melee weapons, but there are exceptions. (Examples: Gilgamesh, Robin Hood, Hercules)
Caster – Quite simply one of the most magically powerful classes. Caster-class Servants almost always were wizards or sorcerers in their lives, and wield magic far beyond what humans in their day were capable of. They are weak against classes with strong artifacts. (Examples: Merlin, Medea, Bluebeard)
Lancer – Often called the swiftest of the Servants, Lancer is a formidable fighter who can fight at close range or at a distance with their weapon, which is always a spear. They also have a reputation as being unrelenting in battle. (Examples: Leonidas, Lancelot, Hercules)
Berserker – Easily the most difficult Servant to handle. No matter who is summoned, Berserker is in a constant state of insanity, and will not stop attacking until restrained by the Master in some way. Berserker is easily a powerful foe, with peerless defense and overwhelming strength. (Examples: Black Knight, Leonidas, Hercules)
Rider – Despite what one might think, Rider is not a class limited to Horses alone. Indeed, Rider may be summoned as any hero, so long as they have a mount of legendary quality. Their skills vary the most of all the classes, but they can be quite crafty. (Examples: Alexander the Great, Medusa, Ghengis Khan)
Assassin – Unlike the other servants, who are all chosen at random by the Grail, the Servant Assassin always remains the same. He is summoned as Hassan-i-Sabah. He lived in the late 11th century in the heart of the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran. The place was called Alamut and was attributed to an ancient king of Daylam. He founded a group whose members are sometimes referred to as the Hashshashin. He is supposedly the father of the art of the assassin, which takes it’s name from his disciples.

Plot:
This will not follow the anime or game in any way, though references to the latter will certainly be present. Please assume that the events of the Anime are the ones that transpired, since not everyone has played the actual PC game. This will actually be a partially freeform RP. There will be only one strict rule.
NO TIME CHANGES.
Advancing the day ahead will be completely restricted to everyone but myself. I will be doing so, and when the time changes, your posts should reflect this. This is to keep everyone in check, even though I’m giving you free reign with everything else. Also, since Servants are so powerful, I would ask that only skilled RPers attempt to play as one.

I am posting this, despite the fact I will soon enter the military and be indesposed for a decent amount of time. I'll ask that Sel keep this posted up so I can get an idea of what interest may be in getting this going once I return. Thanks, and have fun making your characters!

Don't forget, I'll be playing, too.

Class: Saber

True Name: Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc)

Master: ???

Age: 19

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 105 lbs.

Nationality: French

Hair Color: Blonde

Eye Color: Blue

General Appearance: A young woman, clad in silver half-plate and a black uniform. The surface has a pearly, polished appearance and bears little other decoration. Her hair is cut short, at the shoulders, and frames her face.

Physical Appearance: Beneath her armor, she wears the garb of a peasant. A plain white shirt and leather slacks, along with a simple pair of sandals. She's a rather slender girl, but she's certainly strong from being a farm-hand most of her life.

Alignment: Lawful Good

Class Skills:
Magical Resistance <B++> Exceptional, perhaps due to her divinely influenced fate. Able to block most strong magics. The modern magic of a master is rather useless.

Divinity <D+> She may be a mere mortal, but the amount of divine influence upon her gives her the powers of an oracle and medium.

Abilities:
Charisma <C> She can inspire others around her with her bravery, and likewise, turn the tide of an unfavorable battle.

Fate <EX> She is especially sensitive to the balance of Fate, and can almost intuitively discern what kind of fate will result from a particular action. She can, in essence, predict casuality and thus avoid something bad, or strive towards good. This ability does not activate willingly, however.

Rankings:
Strength <B+>
Endurance <B+>
Agility <D>
Magical Energy <C>
Luck <A+>
Noble Phantasm <A>

Noble Phantasms:

Sword of St. Catherine - Light of God
Type: Anti-Personnel
Max Targets: 1
Rank: B
A sword found by Jeanne in a church, prior to her arrival at the city of Orleans. Though not originally meant for battle, as the sword is quite ornate, it proved to be her favored weapon as she kept it throughout the remainder of her life. The sword's hilt is a finely polished blue metal, designed in the shape of a Catholic cross. The blade of the sword is made of a white steel, like her armor, and when used with her full power, can channel her mana and transform it into light. She named the sword after one of the three saints who came to her in her visions.

Banner of St. Michael - The Cross of Lorraine
Type: Anti-Personnel
Max Targets: Visual
Rank: A+
A banner, or battle standard, carried by Jehanne into battle. She claims to have preferred it over her sword. It bears the national colors of France, as well as a cross. The cross' uppermost part is then seperated into a second, smaller cross and has become a symbol synonymous with her legend. Any other servants who gaze at the banner as she battles them are subject to a penalty to all of their stats and abilities, which are reduced by a full rank.

L'armée de Libération - Breakers of the Seige
Type: Anti-Castle
Max Targets: 500-1000
Rank: ???
The actual details and effects of this Noble Phantasm are unknown. It may have something to do with the Seige of Orleans.

Biography: Jehanne d'Arc was a born commoner, who was brought into the world during the Hundred Years War. England had taken advantage of the chaos of a succession feud and the weakness of the rest of Europe thanks to the Black Plague, and had laid seige to the rest of the country, after conquering the northernmost sections. Jehanne had visions of saints urging her to life these seiges and lead her country to victory. She did so, and finally was allowed to go to Orleans, the last city standing in the way of the English from the heart of the country. She lifted the seige in nine days and drove the English back, despite being wounded in the neck and leg by an arrow. She was then ransomed to the enemy, because her rightfully coronated king failed to intervene and was burned at the stake as a heretic. The vatican reopened her case and cleared her of the crime later on, and eventually canonized her. As she was burned, she asked to forgive those who murdered her, and wished that she could serve her God further. And thus, she finds herself as a Servant in the War of the Holy Grail.

Historical Note: The heresy trial record demonstrates her remarkable intellect. The transcript's most famous exchange is an exercise in subtlety. "Asked if she knew she was in God's grace, she answered: 'If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.'" The question is a scholarly trap. Church doctrine held that no one could be certain of being in God's grace. If she had answered yes, then she would have convicted herself of heresy. If she had answered no, then she would have confessed her own guilt. Notary Boisguillaume would later testify that at the moment the court heard this reply, "Those who were interrogating her were stupefied."
Seluna
I'm interested, although I'm not sure that between my work and other roleplay and internet commitments, how much time can I devote to this roleplay. But I'm definitely interested. Just need ideas/inspiration for a character.
Servant Saber
Hey, whatever works. This likely won't even start for some time, as I expect my basic training and tech school means I won't have internet access till October. So, really, this is just to see what kind of support I can get behind it. Take your time.
neko_oni
This looks interesting, I will join this once I come up with an idea for a charcter. Quick question though, do all of the servants have to be some form of a hero or great figure in time? Can they be based of a myth or legend or even possibly a kind of diety for a form of religion? (Meaning Anubis, the Hydra, or even Death (Grim Reaper))

Not specifically.

The Lancers from Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night were both demi-Gods.
Berserker from Fate/stay night was Hercules, who obtained Godhood.
Gilgamesh is 2/3 God, 1/3 Mortal.

But, I'm not allowing something like a monster (Hydra) or something as abstract as the Grim Reaper. But a diety would be fine, as long as a fitting class is found.
Servant Saber
Directing you back to the opening post, you make either a Master or a Servant. Not both. If you're making a Servant, the sheet is PMed to me and not posted here. If you're making a Master, then there's no need to PM it and it can be posted in this thread for approval. Servants will take a bit of work, since different classes have different abilities.
OriginalVampire
I am thinking about making a Master but I have a couple of questions before I can get started.

1. What are Magic Disciplines?

2. What are Sub-Disciplines?

3. Finally do we choose out Servants or are they given to us?
Servant Saber
I think the concept of a discipline of magic shouldn't be too hard to figure out, but..

It's basically whatever form of magic the Master is proficient with. Rin Tohsaka, for example, was incredibly good at Mana Conversion, which allowed her to store excess energy produced by her body inside inanimate objects, gemstones in particular.

It could be almost anything, really. Same with a sub-discipline, but with less skill and finesse. Keep in mind that your primary dicipline would be one that you'd have been working at your whole life.

Servants will be assigned, but not until a couple IC days have passed.

(Servant)

Class: Berserker

True Name: Vali (Son of Odin)

Age: N/A

Height: 12 ft

Weight: About 400lbs

Nationality: Norse

Hair Color: Blonde

Eye Color: Blue

General Appearance: He typically wears no more than a loin clothe, though he may occasionaly dress in a tunic and peasants pants with sandals. When he goes to battle he wears a tunic made of chain and a plate pants and boots. He is always sleeveless however.

Physical appearance: He is a huge. Obviously a god of old times times. His body is large and big boned. But do not mistake him for a giant. His hair is about shoulder length, thick, and messy, though clean.

Alignment: Chaotic Insane

Class Skills:
Mad Enhancement - All stats boosted by one rank, but loses sanity. Servant can no longer speak or make coherent thoughts. However, due to his divine power and nature as a Norse God, he can overcome this slightly by speaking simple phrases and more skilled use of his Noble Phantasm.

Abilities:
Divinity - A+ - A true God, son of a God-King, with a very important fate. It is undeniable that such a rank would be set aside for anyone less.

Eye of Mind (True) - B - Normally an ability possessed by the Archer or Assassin class, this ability allows for vision at extended range and detail. This is because of his father, Odin's nature as being an 'all-seeing' God, whose eyes are everywhere.

Rankings:
Strength A++
Endurance A
Agility C+
Magical Energy E
Luck D
Noble Phatasm B+

Noble Phantasms:

Fate to Insanity
Type: Anti-Castle
MaxTargets: 50 People
Rank: A+
This is an attack unleashing as much destruction as possible used usually at the peak of his rage. He will basically lift his arms into the air, letting a roar. Leaping into the air, he will come back down slamming his war hammer into the ground creating a huge sphere that strecthes for about 500ft around him throwing and destroying anything inside of it or that touches. It is a barbaric technique, yes, but it gets the job done.

Biography: Váli is a son of the god Odin and the giantess Rindr. They gave pirth to him with intention of him exacting their revenge on Höðr for the accidental murder of his haf-brother, Baldr. He grew to full adulthood within one day of his birth, and slew Höðr.

Historical Note: Váli is fated to survive Ragnarök. Ragnarök is the final battle waged between the Æsir, led by Odin, and the various forces of the giants or Jötnar, including Loki, followed by the destruction of the world and its subsequent rebirth. Not only will most of the gods, giants and monsters involved perish in this apocalyptic conflagration, but almost everything in the universe will be torn asunder and destroyed.

I'm very interested indeed. Now, only to decide whether to create a master or a servant character...

He wishes to understand what his powers are but the last thing his uncle spoke of was finding a ‘servant’.
Ken Masters
Just wondering what would Sir Gawain categorize as?
A saber class?
A lancer class?
A beserker?

EDIT: Nevermind, I have a pretty good idea to which I could mold him into.
Exire
I like how this looks. Pretty different from most RP's I check out. I'll just voice my interest but I'll wait until you (Asuka) returns before I think of making a character or anything. Also, is the OOC the only information we really need to know? We don't need to have played that D'Arc game as well, correct? I'll figure as much that it should be fine, but thought I might as well ask. Hear from you in October, haha.

Independent action ( C ) The capacity of Servants to subsist without a Master. At this rank, he is capable of existing for one day without an established contract.

Battle Continuation ( B ) Does not give up easily. It allows for battle even on the verge of death, and allows the user to stay alive until they receive a clearly fatal blow.

Abilities:
Charisma ( C+ ) - Can lead men into battle, and inspire them to fight heroically.

Intellect ( B ) - Decisiveness above average, can solve and figure out pretty much any puzzle/riddle.

Essence of Helios ( EX ) - According to Welsh legend, Gawain’s strength is dependant on the sun. During any time during the daytime he can activate either three of the following abilities for a short duration (At most 5 minutes):

1. Invulnerablity – Gawain is immune to physical attacks, but is still vulnerable to spirit attacks and even weapons forged through magic (example: Excalibur, Caladbolg, etc.)
2. Enhanced strength – Gawain’s strength is boosted to EX level.
3. Enhanced Agility – Gawain’s speed is boosted to EX level.

At the sun’s zenith (noon), Gawain’s could use the Essence of Helios to it’s full potential, and can use it for a longer duration (1 hour) but afterwards is unable to use the ability the rest of the day. Gawain can also use any two abilities in conjunction with each other, but once the time limit is reached, his stats are lowered a full rank. Furthermore, Gawain could also use all three of the abilities in conjunction together, but after the time limit is reached, he dies.

Noble Phantasms:

Bercilak-Enchanted Cutter of the Green
Type: Anti-Personnel
Max Target – 1
( B+ )

The Halberd used during the Green Knight’s contest (See Sir Gawain and the Greene Knight for further information), named after the Green Knight, Bercilak de Hautdesert. Forged through magic, the weapon itself cannot be easily damaged or destroyed, and can be only undone through magic. The blade shimmers with a golden gleam , while the pole made of a branch from a white blessed oak tree. By tapping into his magical energy, Gawain could enchant the blade to be able to cut through anything human forged. Making it superior to any human forged weapons. However against A-rank weapons or higher, such as Excalibur, Bercilak fall short in comparison.

Lady Hautdesert’s Girdle - Ankh of Ressurection
Barrier
Target Unit: 1 (user)
( A++ )

Given to Gawain, in his quest to find the Green Knight, by Lady Hautdesert (The Green Knight’s wife) when she tried to seduce him. The girdle was known to have protected Gawain during the contest with the Green Knight. This item allows Gawain to be revived in battle; however, since becoming a Heroic Spirit, the girdle is tied directly to Gawain’s dependence on the sun. He can only use this item once per Solar cycle (around the duration of 9.5-12.5 Years), and when revived his stats are all halved, and will not return to normal till a total of 2 days.

Shimmering Gringolet - Helios' Blades of splendence
Anti-Castle
Target Unit – Wherever the sunlight hits
( A+++ )

Gawain’s mighty steed, known for it’s prowess in battle and it’s brilliant golden gleam. Gawain focuses his magical energy to summon Gringolet in spirit form, when summoned Gringolet disperses into a shimmering blades of light that explode upon contact. Can only hit targets:

1. Who are within the sunlight (those enshrouded by shadow cannot be hit).
2. Are visually seen.

The length of the attack can only up to where the target can be visually seen, and where and if they’re in the sunlight. The duration of the attack lasts as long as Gawain can supply mana to the attack, in the event that he expends his mana the attack ceases.. Can only be used during the in the presence of UV light.

Biography – Gawain was born the son of King Lot, of Orkney and Lothian, and Arturia Pendragon’s half-sister, Morgause (Anna in some stories, either way she is the daughter of Igraine, Arturia’s mother), making him Arturia’s nephew. Taken into Arturia’s court, he quickly proved his worth through various trials of strength, valor, and intelligence (See Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle). Despite being born a normal human, Gawain is blessed with superhuman strength, which waxes and wanes with the sun, and is easily considered one of the most powerful, if not the one of the best Knights of the Round Table. Although, usually brash and hot-headed, Gawain was extremely loyal to Arturia, and was a close friends with Lancelot.

When Lancelot betrayed Arturia, Gawain grew to hate his former friend and even incited a the war between Arturia and Lancelot. While laying siege to Lancelot’s castle, Gawain was injured in battle by Lancelot, but was spared by his friend. Which forced Arturia to enter the battlefield. Unbeknownst to Arturia, a homunculus born from her blood, Mordred, had incited a rebellion in her kingdom.

Despite being injured prior this battle with Lancelot, Gawain led the charge to surpass the rebellion, only to be mortally wounded in battle. On his death-bed Gawain realized in his foolishness, by inciting the war against Lancelot he had divided Arturia’s forces. Which allowed Mordred to usurp the throne. With his last breath, he asks forgiveness from Lancelot, and begs him to aid Arturia in her battle with Mordred. As his life passes, feeling nothing but regret, Gawain prays to God and asks that in the afterlife he may be able to repent and redeem himself for his foolish actions. When he awakes, Gawain is now a servant in the next Holy Grail War.
Servant Saber
I'm getting pretty excited for this, and using some of my spare time, I've already devoted a notebook worth of material towards the plot and setting, along with some other things I plan on throwing in. Stay tuned.

Also, looking at how restrictive the Assassin class is, I'll take over the character if no one claims him.

Now, on to business. OriginalVampire, I want to point out that Magi are trained by their families in their craft as early as age five. Rin is a prime example of how this teaching brings out the potential of somone who is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Henry, having only started his training at the age of 12, is about as skilled a Magus as Shirou is, minus his crazy affiliation with tracing and copying. You will be a novice, at best, and quite frankly, if you still want to play it that way, I'm tempted to give you the choice of picking a servant before the story starts and once all other Servants roles are filled. I also don't mind if you make both a Servant and Master, but I would suggest you do NOT play them seperately.

Magical Discipline: Advanced Arcana

Sub-Disciplines: Arcana blade & Chaos Void

ARCANA BLADE
The user channels spiritual energy into weapon causing it to become much more powerful and takes on an elemental energy.

CELESTIAL VOLD
Casts target into a state of self destructive behavior.

Biography: Amoroshi was born into a secret magi clan known as the Minamoto clan. As he came of age, the clan leader Yorimoto began teaching him the arcane arts. Amoroshi quickly mastered what Yorimoto had taught him and was now on levels of arcana that even Yorimoto had not mastered.Yorimoto became wary of amoroshi realizing that he could surpass him and become the clans leader and began sending him on various dangerous missions to get him killed. Mission after mission he completed with no objections until he was sent on a mission to kill some young children. Armoroshi rejected the mission and was labeled a dishonor to the clan and "released" leaving him to wander around Japan for years.

To pass time, Amoroshi would travel to remote areas and perfect his art. After awhile, he was tired of his boring life and became a bodygaurd. In search of excitement, he took on various escort missions. He became well known throughout the world as an inpressive bodyguard and was often called out on escort missions.One day he accepted the offer from the japanese government and was sent to Tokyo. He was to escort the emporer to a UN peace conference. At first light the next day, he set out to meet the emporer at the estate....

This is the second time i "cleaned it up".
Servant Saber
Where to begin. First of all, I'm going to hold you to the same standards as everyone else, kioli.

That means proper capitalization and use of punctuation, as well as all the other basics of English writing. Please clean it up a bit and edit your post. Secondly, his powers. Arcana Blade sounds fine to me. It's something that's fundamental and considering his age, he's likely an expert with it, to the point where his attacks might be something for even a Servant to fear. However, I will not allow invulnerability. Gawain has it, but his has much more limits and counter-balances. So, that's a no. Also, your background is really lacking. It tells nothing of his life, how he learned his magic, and what's drawn him to Tokyo, the place where this Grail War is being held. Keep in mind that only ONE of you will start the war with a Servant.

Fix it up, and we can get back to business.

EDIT: This isn't medieval Japan. I don't think you're understanding just how this RP works. Masters are Magi, and rarely fight other Masters and Servants directly. This is modern day Tokyo. Someone in armor, carrying a sword, would be pulled over by the police and thrown in Jail, which would mean the Magi would risk revealing he practices magic. You also have not gone back and capitalized many of the proper nouns in your sheet. That really irks me when I'm reading something.
OriginalVampire
Thanks for the heads up Asuka. I would like to play the clear underdog in this RP. I wouldn't mind if I got my servant before everyone else just as long as its you who wants me to. I don't think I would make a very good servant, unless you need me to fill the spot.
Servant Saber
Alright, if you're fine with the handicap, I don't mind giving it to you.

Once we get everything set, you can pick. For right now, things can stay slow. Don't expect this RP to start any time soon. Once my classes start, I'll be busier.
OriginalVampire
Don't worry about it Asuka, time is not an issue. I will just hang out till the RP gets going laugh.gif
Servant Saber
Update!

I may have to delay the start of the RP, as I am to be stationed in Japan. I'll need to travel there, and get settled in before I do anything else with the RP, since what time I'm allowed home will be spent primarily offline.
Exire
No worries, I'll still put off making a profile until it gets closer to the time anyway since I'd end up changing my mind after such an amount of time has gone by. Say, I might have missed it but what branch of the military are you in? A friend of mine joined the Air Force and he's living in an apartment in Japan as well.
OriginalVampire
Your so lucky! Living in Japan is my dream, good luck with moving.

im definatly interested in joining. lol i gotta read your first post again with detail so i know what im aiming for. um does our character have to based after a real life person or can it be made up? but as soon as i figure out a character im going to post it right asap.
Servant Saber
If you're going to make up a Servant, it better be an outstanding piece of work.

Our Rider is amazingly detailed. In fact, he's probably got one of the best right now of the bunch. Think long and hard, since I won't start till I'm settled in my place in Japan.
Servant Saber
UPDATE!

Okay, I've got another Servant who, once I work out a couple corrections with, should be good to go.

Saber - Jeanne D'Arc
Rider - Gawain
Archer - Seigfried
Berserker - Vali
Lancer - ???
Caster - ???
Assassin - ???

Two more spots to go. I don't need an Assassin, but if someone wants to play as him, they're more than welcome to. I also need some more Masters, at least 4 or 5 more.
Ken Masters
I suppose I'm willing to play as a master for another servant as well, depending on the situation if we still lack RPers to fill in those roles.
Servant Saber
If it comes to that, I'd appreciate it. If you're going to do that, though, try to post for both characters at once so you don't neglect the other if at all possible.
Seluna
I'm a bit confused now regarding who are approved and who are not, so just tell me.... are there three approved profiles (excluding Sammy your own)?

Alright, I'll make it a bit more concise.

Servants

Saber - Jeanne D'arc (Me)
Lancer - ??? (Open)
Archer - Siegfried (Chuu)
Rider - Gawain (Soul_Taker_Devil)
Caster - ??? (Pending, not approved.)
Berserker - Vali (neko_oni)
Assassin - ???

Masters

Henry Williams (OriginalVampire)

I'm going to need more masters. And, as I'm playing a Servant, I'm not going to use a Master. It'd give me way too much control over the story. I'd rather leave a good deal of that power in the hands of the players. At any rate, this is what I have so far, Sel. I'm waiting to hear back about the Caster. Assassin and Lancer are open.
Chuu

Biography :

Siegfried is the son of Sigmund and Sigelinde. before Siegfried was born,his father goes to battle another country. but in the battle,his father died after attacking unknown old man in robe which is Odin in disguise. Odin then shatter his father's sword and take the fragments.

after the death of his father,his mother married again with King Alf. Siegfried then befriended with Regin. the greedy Regin ask Siegfried to give him his father's gold. Siegfried then gives it to him and stated that he can get anything he want. unsatisfied with the gold,Regin then ask Siegfried to get a treasure which heavily guarded by a Dragon named Fafnir. without fearing anything,Siegfried accept Regin's request.

in order to slay the Dragon,he needs a tough weapon. Regin forge him many swords,but when Siegfried test the sword by hitting it on the anvil,the sword always broken. then an old man (Odin in disguise) come and give him fragments from his father's sword. not knowing that Odin has enhance the fragment,Siegfried brings it to Regin and ask him to make a weapon with the fragment. then the sword,Balmung has created from the fragment.

Siegfried then approach the cave when the Dragon,Fafnir was there. the old man (Odin in disguise) suddenly appears and advice him to dig a hole so he can bath with the blood from the Dragon to gain Invulnerability. Siegfried shouted to call out Fafnir. the Dragon awaken and chasing Siegfried. the trap was successfull,the Dragon falls into the hole. Siegfried instantly stab the Dragon with his sword,Balmung,right in it's heart. he bath with the Dragon's blood and gain Invulnerability. but a single leaf falls from the tree and covering his left chest,making only his heart vulnerable to attack.

still curious about the Dragon,Siegfried then roast the Dragon's Heart and eat it. he gains ability to speak with birds and understand their language. not long after that,a bird comes and warn him that Regin has plotted his death. shortly,Regin come to see him. Siegfried instantly stab Regin,believing that he will kill him shortly after he knows that the Dragon was dead.

in his journey to home,Siegfried meets a person dressed in silver armor who tied up and surrounded by ring of flames. because he's Invulnerable,he goes to save the person. he suprised to see that the person is a woman. actually,the woman only pretending in front of him. she is a Valkyrie named Brynhild. due to her nature as a fighter,he challange Siegfried to fight. Siegfried proudly accept her challange,knowing that he's Invulnerable.

Brynhild is a Valkyrie Archer,using her bow and arrow,Huginn & Muninn. their combat ability was fairly equal. after the long fierce battle,Siegfried get shooted in his left chest (which is vulnerable) and Brynhild critically wounded by his sword,Balmung. before Brynhild going to die,she tells him that he's very a strong man and kiss him. his first kiss makes Siegfried realize that he cant understand two things in his live,"Pride" and "Love".

he promised to Brynhild that he'll be in her side forever. carrying her Bow and Arrow,Siegfried lie down next to Brynhild's dead body and stating to himself that her soul as brave Valkyrie will always live in his heart. right before he's going to die (because of the wound),he stated to himself,that he wishes to start a new life in different world to know the true meaning of "Pride" and "Love". Siegfried's soul now becoming a Heroic Spirit by the Holy Grail.

It wasn't an easy task, as they were a rowdy bunch. Only held together by there leader, Simon. Simon took on Vincent as his apprentice of sorts, taught him the ways of war and killing. But even though Vincent learned to be a cold blood killer he never lost his immature status as the goofy one. Rash and headstrong was what Simon would always call his young apprentice, soon they were as Father and Son would be.

Vincent took lead of the band later, soon fighting war after war agaisnt many Lords who were never their Leader.

by the way.. i'm waiting for someone who'll be my Master.
OriginalVampire
According to Servant Saber only one Servant will have a master before the start of the RP, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
Dragon Brigade
I've been interested in joining this, and decided that'd I'd give it a go. Most likely I'll have two profiles to start with (I usually start with at least two characters in any RP I join, I don't quite know why), and both will be Masters.

Just wanted to post a heads-up that I'm interested in joining...I'll try and get the profiles up soon (perhaps within this next week).

I never restricted anyone. I'm awaiting a reply from the Caster who was pending. He had an awesome sheet, but if he doesn't reply, I'll open the position to any other takers.

Also, if you want to submit sheets, by all means get them up. Now that I'm settled in, I can concentrate on this more.
Vhailor
Hello guys! I m Caster and i ll make you suffer like Hell! But good news, this won't be a boring one!

Class: Caster

True Name: Arlequin

Age: ???

Height: 1m86

Weight: 65kg

Nationality: ???

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Crimson and dark.

General Appearance: Caster wears cloths wich remind something like carnival, very ornemanted and festal. Except for the cloak, the colors are flashy and attract the attention of the passerby. It is a suit conveniant for a troubadour with many little silver bells attached to his pants and his great hat where an elegant and eccentric feather seems to wave. The colors of this suit are dominated by white,red and purple. It is very spectacular but there is something very disturbing in his composition which brings a deep impression of anxiousness, if it is not of fear, in the hearth of the spectator. Caster also wears a terrifying mask on his face, very ornemanted too, wich lets through its orbits two crimson eyes where madness burns, and two more masks on the chest. To end this description, a black cloak draped the shoulders of Caster and the inner creases subtly draws tormanted faces.
The lute of caster ressemble to the branch of a dead tree.



Physical Appearance: Caster is slim. His skin is pale and he got pointed ears.

Alignment: Chaotic Evil.

Class Skills:

Territory Creation : A
Creation of a magical territory that amplifies one's abilities as a magus. A rank would grant the user the ability to create a magical temple, which is more powerful than a workshop but Caster's skill will create something more like a theater.

Item Construction : A
The expertise to create magical items. At this level, Caster's marionnette are masterpieces. He can give any forms to its puppets and its power are improved.

Abilities:

Musical Magic : EX
Caster is a magus who doesn't use words to make his spells, but the music he plays. With his lute, he is able to composed an extremly complexed spell in a short spell-casting time or to create an enchantment wich duration depends of the melody's length but the most fearable capacity of Caster is to build two different spells in the same time while playing his music.

Puppet's master : A
Caster manipulates his puppets with an incridible talent. The précision and the unpredictability of there movements make them more dangerous. Caster is also able to control as much puppets as he have.

Strength E
Endurance E
Agility C
Magical Energy A
Luck A
Noble Phantasm C

Noble Phantasms :

Arogh'Eliork, woven with souls : C
Anti-Personnel
The cloak wich dressed Caster when he is showing. The cloak is made of the souls of his victims and Caster is able to use them to improve his puppets, making them more independant, or to create a greater (and also FLASHIER) spell. Caster needs souls of poor and innocent citizens to use this ability.

Samael, the angry servant : A
Anti-personnel/Anti-army
Samael is a demon who made a pact with Caster, thinking he can fool him, but he lately saw him enterly submissed to the twisted will of his master. Caster can imprison his soul in one of his puppets, greatly increasing it power and savagery but keeping in the same time his capacity of relfection and indépendance. If samael's host is destroyed, his souls return to Caster.



BIOGRAPHY (need to be corrected and completed but i m too lazy now.)

Caster Biography

The true name of Harlequin is unknown of all, even him can't remember how it was. But he does remember his formal being before the pact. He was a musician borned in the Renaissance, one of those troubadours who entertain nobles and villains with magic tricks, songs and spectacles. His debuts were modests, being the apprentice of a troubadour of poor reputation who taught his scrawny knowledge to his disciple. But the disciple quickly improved his mastery of music and arts by practicing and one day, he surpassed the master. He abandoned him to try by his own means to get fame, in what he succeeded in a very short laps of time. He began to serve a wealthy and powerful noble from the city of Venice and, through his influence, could gain a better way to the great and subtle world of spectacle under the name of Harlequin.

Harlequin gave a great number of representation and interpretation, captivating the audition by his incredible melody, fragile and gracious, constantly alternating between dark and light. Little by little, Harlequin became fascinating by the influence of his music over people. He experimented new compositions and began to occupy himself on the study of musical art. But the Church, which condemned the world of spectacle, claiming it perversion, found in the person of Padre Luiggio a defender of the true faith in Venice. Thanks to his political links, the padre Luiggio tried hard to supplant the troubadour in the court of the nobleman and at least, managed to chase away Harlequin.

Angry and frustrated, he stole an ancient book of summoning to the lord's library. He didn't care about the loss of his social position but no one had the right to oppose him in his quest of understanding of music upon men. He studied so hard the heaven music composed by Church, celebration of god trough which one could find salvation for his soul, and now, he wanted more. By a dark night without moon, he drew the runes and chanted the words, commanding to a being that belongs to the dark lord of Hell to answer his invocation. One answered.

A demon called Samael came through the abyss to meet the musician and made a pact. He will give the true knowledge of music, it core itself, to Harlequin in exchange of his soul. Foolish pact but the one who was deceived wasn't the musician...

Two years later, a company of Knight of the Church assaulted Venice and found Harlequin who was standing in the dodge's palace playing strange and ununderstandable melodies while the whole town was plunging into a chaotic carnival where only madness could be perceived. People in street was furiously dancing and roaring a bestial joy, looking more alike demons than human beings. The chief of those brave knight spoke with a strong voice :
"In the name of God and his son, the Christ, i order you to surrender and put an end to this madness."
"Haaaa... Just in time, gentlemen. My experimentation here is now over and i need to explore new fields beyond human's reach. Would you please make it quick, i think i'm awaited down here."
"Who are you!"
"Harlequin, the Hell s'king on earth."
Dragon Brigade
Master

Name: Segmund Ammud

Age: 47

Gender: Male

Nationality: Afghani

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 270 lbs.

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Brown

Appearance: Underneath his black robe he wears a loose, brown cotton shirt and black pants. At his waist is a leather belt in which he carries physical weapons such as two short knives, and also attached is a small money pouch.

Physical Description: Segmund has no facial hair of any sort, and instead of a sharp, chiseled face, his dark features are relatively boyish. The distinction between categorizing him as a child or an adult, aside from height, would be his eyes; cold and hard as they were, they gave him the appearance of being an angry man, though he was quite gentle in reality. His body was not remarkably well-built either; his muscles, while there and quite able, were hindered from their full potential by the unnecessary fat on his body.

Magical Discipline: Mana Conversion

Sub-Disciplines: Mana Disruption

Biography: Ammud has gone through life with the full support of his family, of two brothers, one sister and his parents, hoping to someday do some good in the world, whatever form it came in. He was the youngest of the family, and held that idealism of being able to anything, regardless of the circumstances. During a gun fight between American soldiers, he once ran out into the streets to help a stranded infant who was caught mid-fire; while most praised him for bravery, he was rebuked often in his family for having a hero-complex. While they did support him, it often came in the form of verbal dissatisfaction with what he did; Ammud had a firm belief that no matter what others thought, as long as they could recognize the good of what was done, it didn't matter what they thought of his personal image.

Then there came a point when Ammud grew up and left home. One of his brothers remained with his parents, but like the rest of the children, Ammud managed to maintain the funds to move out into the world. He bought a one-way ticket to his uncle's home in South America, spending his time in the mountains of Peru. Soon he became aware of his magical disciplines in an off-beat sort of fashion after listening to his uncle, a devote Christian, speaking of his faith. While Ammud wasn't religious himself, he garnered a sense of closeness with the world itself, placing himself on the outside and thinking in, desensitizing himself from the world and acting as an observer, a true introvert. He has had no teacher except what he has done himself or seen others do; as such, he is still a learner, new to the powers he possesses.

He was able to convert energy from himself and devote it to others for purposes of healing. It drained him mentally and physically, so he doesn't use the talent unless it's a special need. Disrupting the flow of mana is much more difficult for him, thus something he doesn't try to often, unless it's absolutely necessary. Ammud can, while still converting his own energy in the process, disrupt the mana flow in someone else to cause pain, or to even heal himself; to heal himself using someone else's mana flow takes its toll on him mentally, but it can heal his wound physically.

His uncle, intent upon his nephew's coming to faith, decided it would be best for Ammud to see the world; one diverse in religion. His destination, as fate would have it, was Tokyo. Among the Buddhist and Confucian temples, Christian churches could be found. Ammud took an interest in the religions of the area, but nothing swayed him in any direction spiritually. During his stay in the large city, fate was about to take his hand in another direction once again. While religion abounded, so did myths, and stories. Ammud picked up things from people, ranging from mad hysteria to truth grounded in a story. He learned of the Holy Grail, and as such, he also learned of Servants.
Servant Saber
All Servants are accounted for. I will be accepting no further applications at this time. I will control Assassin, and will post a sheet for him shortly.

Dragon, your sheet looks fine. Just a couple things. How'd he end up in Tokyo, to participate in the war? What kind of abilities do his magical diciplines give him?
