Chevaleresse

Name: Haru "Solace" Amsel Gender: Male Age: 23 Race: Mixed ancestry, predominantly Caucasian. Appearance: 5'2" and about 120lbs. Rather pale due to spending a lot of time indoors, though this is not entirely why. Medium-length black hair that's slightly shorter in the front and hazel eyes. Usually wears think, heavy clothing. Somewhat delicate-looking facial features, and is rather frail overall. Personality: Quiet to the point of being nearly mute and communicating mostly through body language. Willing to cooperate and work with almost anything and anyone, provided they aren't outright evil to him. Naturally, he tends to keep to himself. He is not particularly strong-willed and is rather easy to boss around for the most part. Enjoys the finer things in life, such as poetry. Despite all of this, there is a core of strength within him; he just lacks motivation to use it. Gift: Can distribute pain amongst people and animals within 6 feet. That is, pain can be moved from one individual to another to any degree, but no actual wounds are created or healed. It is felt wherever the original location of the source was unless the recipient is, for whatever reason, lacking that part of their body in which case it moves to the closest analogous part. The user feels at least 10% of pain moved by this ability. Backstory: A lifelong resident of the Living Quarter. As a child, his mother used to take in stray animals and care for them. Haru enjoyed caring for them and helping her nurse them back to health. The injured strays always seemed to perk up when he was nearby, though his mother was rather concerned by the sensations of pain she felt if she was close enough to her son. It didn't take her and her husband overly long to put two and two together and deduce that their son had an unusual Gift. They worried about sending Haru to school in the rough districts of the Living Quarter, but they soon learned he could fend for himself. Though he would appear to be a natural target for bullying and general harassment by other children and adults alike, most left him alone after a few kids decided to rough him up a bit after school. Their attacks seemed to have little effect on Haru, while they themselves felt as if they were being punched. Rumors started to spread that he had some sort of psychic power that he could and would attack people with, so for the most part he was avoided, though this didn't bother him. As he grew older, the rampant crime around him became more apparent. He became a fairly common sight after muggings, assaults, and even simple accidents, soothing away the pain of the afflicted party's injuries before other help could arrive. Haru also made a habit of showing up at hospitals and clinics, generally brightening the otherwise dismal mood by offering a respite from the pain of broken bones or fever. Most people didn't know his name, as he rarely spoke, so those in the area named him Solace as a substitute. He continues to try to get the other parties involved in the affairs of his home Quarter, despite the police breathing down his neck. Additional Details: For reasons that should be obvious, he's got a pretty high pain tolerance compared to most people and might outright ignore injuries as long as they are not crippling.

Siegfried looked around at the other magi again, a faint look of distaste showing on his hard face. We're already stooping down to kill Masters instead of Servants? I suppose it was wishful thinking, but perhaps I can still conduct myself with honor. He spoke. "Before we begin, we should inform one another of our Servants and their relative strengths. My Servant and myself shall go first. I assume no one here has ulterior motives." There was a hint of a question with the last, but he continued too quickly for anyone to answer. "Saber, would you kindly show yourself?" The hero's imposing figure coalesced in front of Siegfried, and he offered a greeting. "Well met, Masters. I am Beowulf, King of the Geats, and servant of Siegfried in this war." He took a step back and gestured at the aforementioned magus. "My lord." "As you can see," Siegfried began, "Saber possesses overwhelming strength, and is not likely to fall in combat. I believe that luring enemy Masters out of hiding with an open challenge would not likely result in any significant negative consequences for us, and could allow us to obtain the identities of all four of the other Servants. Of course, to form any strategy, I would need to know the capacities of your Servants."

idk what to do right now unless someone wants to strike up a conversation

Siegfried walked back upstairs to answer the phone with a measured pace. A babysitter. Wonderful. As if I couldn't come up with strategy without some buffoon sitting somewhere and watching me. He looked around, not noticing any of the other mages coming to the room. Of course. At least the leadership of this little group will fall to someone competent. The magus picked up the phone but waited a moment to answer. "Get in here," he shouted, loud enough that anyone in the house should have been able to hear him. Then, he slid a thumb across the screen, answering the call. "Yes?"

Well, it's my plan that's changing, not so much the character himself.

"Mmm. Alright, then. Thanks for your advice." Kage wandered off, meandering aimlessly around the area while his Pokemon did the same. Makes sense. If Devin has something to say, he can say it straight out to me.

Kage scratched his head. "Alright. Say, hypothetically, you kept a secret from someone. Let's assume you had a good reason to. That someone apparently learns your secret, but they don't say it straight out. Do you talk to them about it, or wait for them to come to you?"

Crusader saw the other bird coming, and his pride would not allow him to flee the challenge. He gained altitude as quickly as he could, head straining upward against gravity, trying to meet his attacker head-on.

Like I said, changes are being made.

The plan I had in my head was kinda similar to his whole "save the world by any means necessary" thing. And by kinda I mean almost exactly the same.

Kage was still thinking about what Devin had said earlier. He was having a hard time coming up with how to deal with the situation; on the one hand, there was a slight chance that he was getting worked up over nothing. On the other hand, if Devin DID know, he was in it pretty deep for lying about it. On a third hand (presumably someone else's), the professor didn't seem all that upset. Kage threw his hands up in frustration before sitting down for a moment. Standing up once more, he approached a trainer who seemed pretty interested in the local Pokemon. "Hey, Raiza, right? I don't know you all that well, but could I ask you something?"

Balls. I'm going to have to change a bit with my planned character development, I think, b/c I accidentally made Kiritsugu. (Had only watched like 5 episodes iirc when i made the character)

tl'dr for this thread: The edit button exists.

I see ghosts as being affected by non-Normal, non-Fighting attacks because they are infused with energy, and ghosts exist as energy,

I see the Steel-type weaknesses as making logical sense. Steel is very hard; Fighting's whole thing is breaking apart hard objects. Steel can be brittle; a blow that hits it hard enough to do damage will do a LOT of damage. Ground operates similarly.

What if we forgot the type chart entirely and only did things that made sense? For example, all of Flying's weaknesses fall under the realm of common sense, but others might be less so, such as Bug resisting Ground.

The Skarmory wheeled about, screeching in rage as he prepared for another attack. Crusader gained altitude, positioning himself above the other bird Pokemon, then came crashing down, spreading bladelike wings out at the moment before impact.

Makes just as much sense as water being weak. (Since pure water doesn't conduct electricity anyway. . .) Personally, I understand it not being weak because while steel does conduct electricity, it also doesn't really suffer for being able to do so. (In fact, it's better off: Put a lightning bolt into a steel rod and it heats up, do the same thing to a tree and it explodes.)

Lol, I can already tell that Chim's character and mine won't get along.

7/10 for being somewhat consistent with your previous avatar, but not by a whole lot, +powerful but well-known image

Nathan quickly released all of his GAOs with a deft motion. "Crusader, get us some eyes on them!" The bird flew upward with a screech as Nathan ducked down, taking cover.
