  1. *sighs* This is old, I know, and this is stupid, but hey, what the hell. At least it's some way to interact with community, maybe. Ask away. I'll refrain from answering anything sensitive and personal, but I'm usually open with any questions.
  2. What's your favourite literary work and music work? Particularly instrumental. Are you capable of playing any instruments? What's your favorite character you've ever created?
  3. Debronee and Harituuli The curtains descended upon Debronee and his wild acquaintance as they stepped out into the field together. Answering to Harituuli’s excitement with an equivocal nod, the boy followed her adrenalised entrance onto the arena slowly, entering seconds before her as the two stood a certain distance away from one another. Let’s finish this quickly. Casting his phlegmatic gaze upon the battlefield, a blazing furor intensified the vermillion glow that permeated the face of his helmet as he flexed his blade in hand, his violet eyes regarding from beneath his helmet the pair of raven-haired twins as they poised for battle against the other blonde girl, all three with eyes an aquatic blue. The concept of two heads being better than one entered his mind for but a rational moment, until his attention centred itself upon Victoria. Instinct hammered into him the profound possibility that she was stronger than the other two, and her mechanized gear in contrast to the twins’ medieval weapons further accentuated his deduction. He readied his blade as he entered his stance in preparation of his first attack. I’ll start with the girl with the red ribbon. Resounding a war cry at the peak of his voice towards the heavens, Debronee made the first move as he sprinted towards his adversaries before him, dragging his blade as the tip screeched upon the stone floor. Reckless as it was to charge into three alone, his eyes remained fixated on the identical twin wielding a slingshot as they stood veiled from within his helmet, knowing that Haritulli would likely follow close after.
  4. Close is a dangerous word.

  5. Just as a note, I've actually added a few things onto Debronee's mech aesthetic (just spikes on his boots for grip, really, I forsee situations where it'd help) and the fact that he has that much strength also means he should be able to wield his sword with one hand without trouble, even if it is in practicality a two handed sword. On another note, and as a reminder that I've already told you before, Lexi, but you should also tell GotWala to remove a point from his Mech stats (the total is still wrong) unless he's already told you he intends to use Learning over Reflex, somehow.
  6. What's the highest score you've had on the Showdown ladder?
  7. We don't know what's going to happen, but we know that nothing will change if we don't do something different. It's simple; those who fail to remember the past are condemned to repeat it. To stick on topic, I personally believe that we are not bound by what decisions we make; simply the fact that every decision we make has an impact or result, and whether or not that result is desirable to oneself will reflect in the future. We are ultimately the sole influence of our own lives and actions.
  8. Oh wow, double birthday boys. Happy Birthday Dobby/Simon. I hope the days for you two will be prosperous for the days to come.
  9. More Servant options, and I'll probably just edit any new additions/changes here from here on, though for the sake of variety this is probably the first and last melee Servant I'm going to add:
  10. It's funny how fleshed out marksmen have been in my writing life

  11. Just as a thought, is it possible for hybrids of either race or class to occur, such as a Warrior incorporating a minimal amount of magic? That said, my idea of a hybrid has its capabilities lacking/not on par with pure classes in mind, but a not-so-complex mix of the two.
  12. "It is far better to be feared than loved." "When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred." What do you think of these statements?
  13. Alright, I have a few questions on this. Take note that these questions come from a person that's actually read official translated versions of the literature you are referencing (though my memory of it is no longer as fresh), and I mean no antagonism whatsoever, so please bear with a few moments of my bluntness, and forgive my any instances for being unable to supress my spitefulness. Probably the biggest elephant in the room at a glance in terms of Phantasms is your Squirehood Phantasm. You do realize that Sancho followed Don Quixote followed him out of anything but loyalty for most of the story, and no one but him ended up being loyal in the end, right (that also had issues)? Sancho was, in all, a foolish, uneducated, illiterate man (who somehow takes pride in it) who followed Don Quixote as he was promised a handsome reward (when he didn't even know what it was, so Don Quixote could've promised him useless stuff and Sancho would've thought the same as he doesn't know what words are) and his family wanted it too. He did it out of pure greed and desire but is patient for the reward and he does question, go against, and deceive Don Quixote in several instances of their travels. The whole idea of Sancho was "the trusty sidekick that existed because every good hero needs one", but your depiction of Don Quixote being able to garner loyalty and grant power in such a way is just wrong. If anything, people who acquiesced to Don Quixote did it out of the context of "fuck it, this guy's too annoying, let's lie to him so he'll gtfo". People burned his books that made him insane and said wizards burned them and lots of other instances. Don Quixote garnered anything but loyalty, and Sancho was the one that halted the maddened adventures in the end. Of course, you could argue that you're doing this under the context of Don Quixote living his illusionary life and these powers embody what he sees alone, but that's basically the equivalent of turning your thoughts into reality, which is in my personal opinion, a heavy no-no for stuff like this, at least in this kind of phantasm in particular. In fact, I'd detract from my personal statement and say that this "depiction of a world you only see and applying it to reality and others around it" is probably the most conspicuous issue I'm seeing here. Even then, some of your Phantasms and their applications don't even make full sense and are conflicted in a variety of ways. Firstly, what do some of these Phantasms and skills aim to serve in the battlefield? What does the pioneering in literature help in battle prowess and other important things? Even then, why is this credited to him? He didn't pioneer literature, the author did by writing about him, that doesn't make Don Quixote the creator of it. It should be credited to the author, who depicted the character, and it's not like it serves a particular purpose rather than being a fancy title. Canonically, servants cannot form contracts with other servants, so the imbuement aspect of your Squirehood Phantasm is questionable. The practicality of the potion Phantasm is also questionable; if you're to faint for an hour after drinking it, how is that going to help you in battle rather than speed up your death when clashes occur? Your depiction of Don Quixote has two different personalities, a sober one and one that is "prone to acts of tomfoolery and stupidity." That's quite an understatement for who he really is, considering he's living in a fully delusional world where he only sees things through his eyes. He snapped because he decided he would call his neighbour the best girl in the world and read too much chivalrous literature, and the story's whole theme centers on his seemingly tragicomic crusade of overcoming the nihilism that is the lack of literary elements depicted in the stuff he reads in life. Another thing that isn't explained is the line between his sober and insane side. What triggers and allows him to alter between the two? This is even more relevant especially in tandem with your EX Phantasm, which, apart from being obviously OP, also relies on his current state of mind. If he had the ability to swap minds easily he could easily just spam this EX and even if it was hard, this instance of your EX Phantasm shouldn't be acceptable. Surpressing Noble Phantasms, reducing parameters, and magic? Anyone can tell you that's stupid and I'm pretty sure a combination like this doesn't exist canonically, though forgive me if I'm wrong. Losing something that's irrelevant to battle and another god-playing Phantasm isn't too fair of a trade, either. Your depiction of Slayer of Windmills also is very generalized and vague. Try to make more action occur when explaining your Phantasms. There are many ways to fight a windmill, we want to know how, not the fact that you can do it. Also, with apologies if saying this a bit stupid, but I think most of us would also prefer a minimal amount of NPs rather than a large amount of them. The OP has requested that all characters should have a depiction as close to the original as possible, and simply put, your depiction is lacking in that department. It's not a lost cause, but try to dig a little deeper for things like this.
  14. Happy birthday ICSW. You're very good at puns and are a positive force for the community, so may your birthday be an enjoyable one for this day and the many others to come.
  15. Why is a raven like a writing desk?

    1. Combat

      Combat

      Because neither of them are made of yogurt?

    2. Hycrox

      Hycrox

      Because they're both apparently real?

    3. ZedW

      ZedW

      Both contain the letter R

  16. In your personal interpretation, why do you think a raven is like a writing desk? What's the most screwed up romance you've read, watched or heard about, ever?
  17. Be that as it may. I've polished my submission regardless like you asked and will become a Counter Guardian in this RP, and in that case I'm fine with having only one NP as of the moment.
  18. Who knew I'd actually have the ability to win a bronze medal in sports event.

  19. Murdoc has granted me the caveat of using PC for my character, justifying that such exceptions do exist canonically (EG IA on Astolfo) and the fact that most of these skills don't fit Simo, at least for an Archer. Simo was a solo sniper, so he never had assistance and IA is thus justfified. Murdoc gave me the choice to include PC and both of the innate Archer skills through asking him earlier.
  20. RIP I forgot it was I couldn't think of any other names to generalize the whole suit thing + being good at camouflage as a whole though, but for now I'll just change the name of the Phantasm
  21. Did this while I was tired, tell me of anything wrong though:
