Actually, @Murdoc I wasn't intending to have Liliana respond; she's busy staring into blank space over at the field and thinking about life. So, feel free to just reply to Hiss. If you do need me to post an interaction, though, it'll be a while, because overseas :c

Question: I can make a character in any race I can think of, as long as it roughly fits into one of the templates? I might take part if I can find the time.

Drop me a pm to discuss, it'll give me another excuse to procrastinate in getting my RPs back up :s

Welp, I'm super late, but time for me to post my thoughts on the stuff airing. At least, the stuff I'm following. DO NOTE THAT THIS IS MERELY MY OPINION. Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans This was honestly my most anticipated show of the season(aside from Utawarerumono, but that's more because I loved the original's VN so I'm rather biased). I normally don't follow Mecha anime, but I heard Mari Okada was involved, so I got super excited. Was not disappointed. Nice characters, a very real and serious storyline. Awesome OP, good visuals, interesting plot direction. Nice focus on camaraderie and brotherhood. All in all, very worth your time, unless you're super averse to mecha anime. Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen As much as I love this show and this franchise, I cannot in good conscience call it amazing. Pacing-wise, it's rather slow, but also a lot more appropriate for the atmosphere of the show than the adaptation of the first game. Characters are introduced at a realistic, well-paced rate, instead of trying to cram all character introductions into a few episodes. The interactions between Kuon and Haku are a pleasure to watch, and though there are a myriad of bath scenes, these scenes, while still counting as fanservice, do serve a rather important role in displaying the character development. Fans of the first Utawarerumono are likely to enjoy this show, while newcomers to the franchise may also watch it as simply a calming, well-paced Fantasy show with good characters. Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai At first glance, a generic harem. At second glance, still a generic harem. With one of the worst pilot episodes of the season and a boring male protagonist which honestly doesn't stand out at all, the only reason why I haven't dropped this is because the personalities of the girls in the platoon are, while somewhat cliche, also somewhat refreshing. They all fall into typical character archetypes, i.e. Ohtori is the tsundere, Usagi is the unintelligent girl with large breasts, Suginami is the perverted girl that keeps trying ecchi things. However, within these character archetypes, they do show some promising development; Usagi's clumsy exterior hides an amazing strength of will, Suginami's perverse actions stem from a deep-seated curiosity, etc. The world itself is interesting enough to warrant a watch, but what's really good about this show is the antagonist. The extent of their twisted nature is very clearly shown to viewers, and it's a very interesting experience overall. I'd say give the first 3 eps a try, at least. It starts out terrible but gets slightly better. The male protagonist is still extremely boring though. Comet Lucifer The premise of this show is extremely generic. The OP video of this show is extremely generic. The characters in this show are somewhat generic. But the sound production of the show is awesome. Most of the characters and their interactions are interactions and traits you will have seen in countless other shows. Some characters do break the mold somewhat, but still roughly fit into the same cookie cutter mould. possibly the most original character would be Do Mon, and he's a side character. But I would watch this show just for the amazing sound effects. The sound production quality on this show is amazing. Close attention is paid even to the most minute details, like passersby in the streets, birds in the sky and chairs being drawn. The BGM used fits the scenes perfectly, and in general the show is a pleasure to listen to. Don't watch it for the story though; you'll be sorely disappointed. Subete ga F ni naru Amazing character interactions in this show. The dialogue is very well-written, and the relationship dynamic between the main male lead and the heroine is explored very thoroughly. The mystery itself could be more engaging though. I find myself not really caring about the solution to the mystery, and instead just pay attention to the relationship dynamic between the two. The art style is a bit different from the norm; it utilises less colors and is somewhat more dreary. I feel like this show has a very mature impression; it's a show meant to appeal to a thinking audience who appreciate good storytelling over high entertainment value. It shies away from employing a multitude of the tricks used to appeal to a wider audience, like slapstick/situational humor or fanservice, and instead focuses on delivering meaningful, mature writing carried by its realistic, human character dialogue. Add that it has - in my opinion - the most interesting OP video of the season, and Subete ga F ni naru possibly takes the AotS slot for me. Highly recommended.

So I've had this Servant profile floating around, with nowhere to put it, so I decided to put it here. Feel free to put Servant profiles of all your fave anime/manga/LN/VN/WN characters in here \o/ No rules, really, just try to be realistic, and keep in line with the Nasuverse's general powerlevels. For instance, don't give a Servant all EX stats, and keep class definitions and class skills within the boundaries of the Nasuverse. Aside from that, have fun \o/ Also, if possible, do give a picture of the character you're turning into a Servant, for the viewing convenience of others. Casters

Question: Am I allowed to post characters from Lily Ex Machina? Even though it's not an RP. There are a few characters lined up that I feel are OP enough to be Servants.

Interesting, though I don't quite know if I would label this as Creative writing...? It's more of an expository piece, I would say. Still, thought-provoking. Good imagery. I do enjoy the red blip image.

Rein had watched Arturia undergo the transformation with marked interest. She had a good eye for combat potential, and it was clear to her that Arturia's combat potential had drastically increased in just a few seconds. Perhaps it was whatever magic the four Goddesses had granted them which strengthened her; she didn't really care. What she concluded, was that this transformation made them more powerful and let them use special magic. But most importantly, it gave them a super-cute costume. Without the hassle of having to actually wear it. Rein's lips tilted up slightly as she imagined the possibilities. This could potentially revolutionize fashion! More than anything else at the moment, she really wanted to see what her own costume would look like. After all, if Arturia could do it, it was only logical that everyone else in the room could do it. Since it was something that granted power, she should be searching within herself for traces of power. She closed her eyes and forced herself into a meditative state. Deep in her psyche, past the memories of the teddy bears she used to collect as a child, alongside the reminiscence of the nice, comfortable sofa of her home, she felt a spark. She heard the cackling of electricity. Two words surfaced in her mind. She snapped herself out of her meditation and ran up to Natalie, looking up at the tall girl and tugging her sleeve. "Rein, Thunder Elemental."

Out of sheer curiosity... pair me pls.

WHOOPS.

Oh, uh... I'm not. I just thought that the last sentence in the prev post was a good place to end the conversation. Lily's not the type of character to take the lead, so she's waiting for Vance to leave for the museum, upon which she'll follow.

Ah, right, I forgot. Thanks for that ^^

Updated with Chapter Six. Things are starting to pick up \o/

Very long hiatus while I deal with other things and priorities, the loss of Zephyr threw this one off track, might have to restart the chapter without Gunther. Keep tuned though, I haven't forgotten about this, just placed it on the backburner, same with Aftermath. I'm probably gonna pull a Lexi on this one orz

Oh wow. First character as in, in a story, with a profile, appearance, powers etc.? ...wow. I'm going have to dig thru my fiction folder, all 9 years of it XD Hopefully it isn't TOO cringeworthy :x

I'd love to play! \o/ ...Except I don't have a microphone. So I can only play-by-text. I do like Stratos' suggestion of using a private Showdown room though. Well, count me in if you can get something set up. I've never played D&D before, it should be an interesting experience.

Vance and Lily Lily's eyes sparkled intensely at the mention of the museum. Just thinking about all the possible pieces of technology in that place... "Excited" would be a poor representation of how she currently felt. "Oh, yes, most certainly! I do hope there are some interesting weapons preserved there." Lily put a finger to her lips as she began talking to herself. "Maybe there'll even be a tank! Do you think I could get permission to take them apart? Or maybe we should go at night, so I can disassemble and put the exhibits back together without them knowing..." She glanced at her Master. "What do you think, Master?" Debronee and Yukine Yukine nodded, impressed. Latin was certainly a language she had no idea how to read; it had been a good call to let Debronee do his searching independently. She caught certain points from Debronee's explanation, but what confused her most was the tidbit that Ashnard employed Rune Magic. That was... odd. She didn't see the beast stop to inscribe runes at any point, nor did she see any runes on his body... And those were the limitations that made Rune Magic a rather unreliable and under-utilised form of thaumaturgy. Granted, it could be an advanced form of Rune Magic lost in time, which skipped the inscription process... Most of the information pertained to his joint capabilities with this other entity known as "The Hatter", but it was enough to give them a rough idea of the quality of opponent they faced. Based off this information, it was likely their opponent did not have access to higher mental capabilities, and instead was primarily driven by instinct. Naturally, this did not in any way make him less fearsome an enemy, but it did make him slightly more predictable. As long as they avoided anything that would trip the thing's hunting senses, they should be able to avoid engaging it again. As for the cage, though... they would have to figure out a countermeasure. "Yes, that was very helpful indeed. It's a shame there wasn't any information on his weaknesses, but... I suppose you can't have everything in life." Yukine turned back to the PC and was about to shut it down, when a thought occurred to her. She opened up a paste-sharing site and uploaded an anonymous entry stating: "The Berserker of the Seigishi Grail War is none other than Ashnard, the Werewolf. Beware his cage of lightning." With this, any Master who thought to look up information as she did would be able to see this. Whether they would trust the information was another matter, but Yukine was desperate to secure any advantage over that monster, no matter how small. Yukine looked to her Servant. "For now, we should continue to lay low for a few days. If we can stay hidden, we might get lucky enough for the other Servants to kill Ashnard for us." She smiled and took Debronee's hand. "It's been all about me since we met. Anything you want to do? Seems a shame to be reborn into this world without trying out all of civilisation's newest offerings."
