HOLY GRAIL WAR, RUBY CITY EDITION

Good news, Ruby City! An omnipotent wish granting device has appeared. Here’s the problem: it wants you to fight for it, the magic cup requires a certain amount of spiritual energy to activate. That means it has turned some citizens into so-called Heroic Spirits, and others into Masters to temporarily power up those Heroic Spirits.

You might be wondering how the grail gets its power. Well, that’s easy, Heroic Spirits have to kill each other - six in all, with the seventh standing. The last Heroic Spirit standing alongside their master both get wishes from the grail.

So, what’ll you do? Fight for the Grail, killing others, and hopefully getting your wish? Stay out of the fight? Manipulate everyone from afar? Try and remove the grail without causing bloodshed?

Well, that’s up to you, isn’t it?

If you missed the interest post, please click here - it will explain the objectives and game play!

Servant sign ups require a little more detail!

Remember, you need to pick a servant’s class and make up a stats sheet.

A Brief Guide to Servant Classes
We are asking everyone participating to list two potential servant classes for their character, as it will give us some flexibility. Please read the notes on each servant class carefully, as there are benefits and drawbacks to each.

Archer: Naturally, Servants of the Archer Class are associated with bows and arrows, although as you might’ve noticed from say, the "Gate of Babylon" clip in the other post, it isn’t always true. More broadly, projectile weaponry of any sort, If you're still on the fence, please, ask the mods!

Assassin: Are you known as a sneaky sort, who may kill using subtle methods and prefers covert operations to flashy attacks? Or how about just a spy? Murderer for hire, a sellsword to the highest bidder? Don't mind two wits about fighting dirty? Great, you’re probably in the Assassin boat! Assassins tend to target enemy Masters and kill them to disable other Servants instead of fighting them head-on.

Berserker: Got a fondness for brute strength, overpowered physical attacks and mowing through armies? If extreme rage, property damage, and fits of intense violence are associated with your character, you may want to consider them in the Berserker class. It is worth noting that the Berserker class carries a certain effect called Mad Enhancement - meaning that your Servant stats get bumped up a sliding scale, at the cost of your character’s sanity, grasp on rationality and ability to be articulate. A bit-by-bit explanation of this scale is here. (PLEASE NOTE: Mad enhancement, for this game, will be an option for those in the berserker class, not a requirement.) Berserkers are gifted with the potential for the usual benefits of genuine madness, but must confront the downsides of it as well. They tend to be incapable of independence to the degree of some of the other Classes due to their greater levels of mana consumption, and if 'Mad Enhancement' is active, also due to their insanity and usual lack of tactics outside of "killing and/or beating the crap out of everything that moves." Good luck with that!

Caster: Do you like illusions, witchery and giant, glowing energy beams? This is where the fantasy mage, the brilliant scientists who wouldn't shine on the battlefield, and the people who favor magic to brute force often get booted. If you’re a magic user from any universe, a sorcerer with the ability to alter the laws of nature as they please, or the sort for backstabbing trickery, then you have the great potential to be a Servant in the Caster class. In addition, writers and authors have a great chance of being Casters as well (no seriously, they did this in Fate/ canon with William Shakespeare), which for the purposes of this game we’ll extend to all artists.

Lancer: Associated with the usage of spears? Any sort of long, pointy, long-range weapon? Great, you’re a Lancer. This is the Servant Class for the agile speedsters who focus on melee fighting, rogues and the whose not particularly physically bulked up, but not that bad at throwing a punch either. Now, all jokes about the Lancer class and their canonly abysmal, awful luck aside, the Lancer class is pretty open to anyone who is using a big stick to stab or bash people over the head with it. Or say, liked to impale people in life, which is what the franchise did with Vlad the Impaler as Lancer.

Rider: If your character is associated with a particular animal and/or beast, well-known in conjunction with a motor vehicle, even a ship, or a mount of any kind, then they meet the qualifying conditions for the Rider class. Thanks to the mount aspect though, they also tend to be very, very easy to guess in terms of identity, so keep that trade off in mind.

Saber: The class often most fitting for the characters skilled in swordsmanship, the honorable knights with a code of morals they firmly subscribe to, and the stoic warriors, Saber should basically be quite self-explanatory. If you’re associated with a sword - anything that can be interpreted as a frickin' kind of sword - or have fought with one, you can be slotted right into the Saber Class.

Class skills
These are additional skills related to each class that influence fights. We've indicated which servant classes have the following class skills.

Battle continuation (Lancer): The servant can take multiple wounds and continue to fight until a fatal blow is dealt. These few minutes can allow the servant to still severely injury or kill their opponent.
Independent Action (Archer, Assassin): The servant can survive up to two days with no master acting as a source of mana.
Item Creation (Caster): The servant can create items enhanced with magic to exert influence over others. This may include potions that influence decision making, charms to control behaviour, or anything else the servant can think of.
Mad Enhancement (Berserker): The servant's abilities gain a stats boost, in exchange for their ability to be articulate and have control over their actions.
Magic resistance (Archer, Berserker, Lancer, Rider, Saber): The servant has high resistance to magic attacks. For magic to have an effect, the spell caster's attack rank must be higher than the magic resistance rank of the servant.
Presence concealment (Assassin): The servant can conceal their presence from other servants and move around, undetected even by most magic.
Riding (Rider, Saber): The servant has the ability to hop onto anything like a ride and have instant mastery, even if they haven’t rode/driven/etc. it before.
Territory creation (Caster): The servant is capable building a safe zone for themselves and their master, or fortifying an existing structure with magic.

Making a Noble Phantasm
Now that you have two Servant Classes in mind, it's time to create (up to two, at the most) Noble Phantasms for your character to use. Noble Phantasms, as you might recall from the interest post, are manifestations of characters' legends. The best way to think of it is like this: if your character had an ultimate attack or special ability, based on major aspects of their character, history or self, what would it be? What kind of damage would it do? Would it be strictly for combat, or more suited for support usage? How powerful would it be?

Remember that Noble Phantasms don’t have to be weapons. Here are some examples from the Fate/etc series itself:

Lancer's spears: In Fate/zero, Lancer has two spears, Gae Dearge and Gae Buidhe. The former can cut through items made of magic (like a Servant's armor), the latter makes any wounds that it causes unhealable. This is a straight-forward example of weapons being associated with a particular hero becoming Noble Phantasms, as Lancer's two spears were weapons he personally handled in the course of his lifetime.

Rider's Pegasus: In Fate/stay night, Rider (Medusa) is of this class because of her association with the birth of Pegasus. It is her ultimate Noble Phantasm, and a winged horse is extremely useful in a fight.This association with Pegasus allows her to use it as a Noble Phantasm despite not having ridden it even once in her lifetime.

Heracles' God Hand: Also in Fate/stay night, Heracles has twelve lives, and each one can only be destroyed by an A-Rank attack. It is only once all twelve lives run out, that he dies and is defeated in the Grail War. This Noble Phantasm is based on the legendary myth of the twelve labours of Heracles.

Got the idea? Here are a few more examples, from not Fate/:

If you were entering, say, Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games, you might consider making her ultimate Noble Phantasm an ability that whenever she fires an arrow from her bow and calls out the name of the object she wants to hit, it makes it mark.

If you were thinking of entering Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, you would want to consider her invisibility baseball cap as one of her two phantasms, since it comes into play so much in the books and allows her a fair amount of ability to sneak around.

If you were to make a Noble Phantasm for Captain Jack Sparrow, you'd need to consider how the entire Black Pearl could be summoned onto a battle field and made into a weapon!

Obviously, these are just a few examples. Don't hesitate to rewatch the videos of a few canonical Noble Phantasm: Excalibur, the Gate of Babylon, and the Ionian Hetaroi (spoiler warning).

If you’re having issues thinking up something, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we’re happy to help!

Personal Skills
These are little skills that can represent abilities your character might have, but not ultimate noble phantasms! For example, your character may be in the Saber class, but has some skill in military tactics. That would be listed as a personal skill. A good list is here.. Pick up to three personal skills!

Putting it all together
Got your two Servant Classes picked out? Noble Phantasms ready to go? Any and all personal skills selected? Great, then it's time to put it all together.

Stat ranks run from A-F, with C being average. While in-series uses +, -, and EX, we will not be using them for the sake of simplicity.

Obviously, we're trusting you to be honest about you character's skills. Please don't assign A or B ranks to everything. When in doubt, please contact the mods with questions.

NO, REALLY. PLEASE PM OR IM THE MODS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT STATTING. God knows we understand that it can be a right pain.

Congratulations! The Holy Grail has selected you as the servant CASTER in the Holy Grail War! As a Servant, here is the information your character will receive upon waking:

There is an omnipotent wish-granting device called the Holy Grail present in the city, which has summoned them to fight as Servants for it. Six of their fellow Servants must be killed in order for the Holy Grail to be obtained and the winners will be granted a wish.

They will know all seven classes of servants: Archer, Assassin, Berserker, Caster, Lancer, Rider, and Saber, and that each servant has a set of special attacks called Noble Phantasms.

They will also be aware that this is an omnipotent wish granting device, not the Holy Grail that caught the blood of Christ.

They will know that have been transformed into a Servant. This means they have full knowledge of their stats (Personal skills, Class skills and Noble Phantasms too!), and that they need a Master to supply them mana so that they can remain manifested in the world and fight.

They will be made aware that various attacks in their repertoire will require different levels of mana, which also will encourage them to find a Master - and fast, because getting caught without support or a supply of mana is not something they would want happening to them now, would they?

They will be able to shift from a manifested physical form into an invisible spirit form - the latter of which is less taxing on a master and helps to preserve magic energy.

Failure to promptly find a Master will cause their energy to run out, and they will fade away rapidly and die. All Servants, excluding those in the Archer class, will have one day to locate a Master. The Archer class servants will have three days.

All servants will know that the three red markings on the back of a master’s hands are command seals. Command seals can be activated by masters to give absolute orders to their servants - overriding the servant’s free will in the process. It is definitely up to your servant character to decide to share this piece of information.

Servants will be aware that they will be restored to regular state when the war ends. Whenever that is.

Please keep an eye out for the plotting post, which will go up soon. There, we do ask that you find a master-mun to partner up with. Let us know who your team will consist of, so that we can update the team roster accordingly.

Let us know if you have any comments, questions, and concerns.

Thank you, and we’ll see you on 29 September when we get under way.

THIRD CLASS CHOICE (optional):
NOBLE PHANTASM 1 (include description and rank): The spear of Gae Bolge. A spear with an ionized xenon blade that can cut through just about anything. It has a collapsible shaft that she usually wears on her belt. Rank A
NOBLE PHANTASM 2 (include description and rank): Bloodrage. As a Methuselah, Asthe requires blood to live. If she looses enough blood, she will fall into an blind rage, attacking anyone close by in order to try and get blood. If she looses enough blood, she will die. Rank D

CLASS SPECIFIC SKILL SET:

PERSONAL SKILLS

-Rage: Different from her bloodrage. Asthe is rather quick to anger, and won't hesitate to let it be known. Rank C

-Increased Speed and Strength: Being a Methuselah, Asthe is pretty much a vampire. She has heightened speed and strength. Rank C

-Agility: Asthe's trained for many years and has become very agile. Rank C

------

There is a slight problem. Asthe's biggest weakness is that her kind cannot go outside in the sunlight. It causes a very slow and painful death. Would that be an issue during this event? Or would becoming a Servant change that for her?

CHARACTER NAME: Jason Todd aka Red Hood
FIRST CLASS CHOICE: Archer
SECOND CLASS CHOICE: Assassin
THIRD CLASS CHOICE (optional): N/A (none of the other ones really fit.)
NOBLE PHANTASM 1:

Utility Jacket. Bear with me here. So one of the things that makes Jason different than the other Gotham vigilantes is that he doesn't really do the costume thing (until he does, but that's way later in his canon point and he sort of abandons it anyway). So he doesn't so much have a utility belt as he does a utility jacket. I guess the way this would work is that when it's in use, he can pull whatever comes to mind out of it- more ammo, more explosives, whatever he can dream of. Within reason. If it fits, it ships- or shoots, to be more exact. (IE: he can pull out a pistol, but he can't pull out an AK-47. He could pull out AK-47 ammo, but not the gun itself).

Rank B

NOBLE PHANTASM 2:

The Red Hood. This is a defensive phantasm; when in use, Jason wears his distinctive red helmet and becomes incredibly hard to catch or hit. It ups his agility (and also probably his confidence level), which really just gives him more of an edge in hand to hand combat. It also gives his armor a boost, making causing any potential hits to have less impact.

Rank C

STRENGTH: B
MANA: E
AGILITY: B
ENDURANCE: C
LUCK: F
CLASS SPECIFIC SKILL SET: Independent Action: B, Magic Resistance: E, and Presence Concealment: A. Jason is a sneaky fucker (comes with being a Bat and being trained by ninjas, I guess). I felt like maybe his Independent Action should be higher since he is pretty independent, but he doesn't have a lot of mana (as I understand it) so idk??

CHARACTER NAME: Fifth Generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon: Labrys
FIRST CLASS CHOICE: Berserker
SECOND CLASS CHOICE: Assassin

NOBLE PHANTASM 1:

Ariadne. Labrys's Persona, Ariadne, is a very useful lady indeed. Named after the Greek figure in charge of the labyrinth and also who helped Theseus kill the Minotaur by giving him a ball of red string and a sword, Ariadne uses a red sting as a weapon that resembles a labyrinth itself. Oftentimes, Ariadne traps the opponent while Labrys goes in for the win.

Rank B

NOBLE PHANTASM 2:

Wishful Thinking. When Labrys escaped the facility, she ran until she found the ocean. There, standing on a dock and staring at that clear blue sky, she realized she'd never truly escape. So instead, she wished that someone else would; Labrys wished that whoever that person was would stand on that dock and find the happiness that she never had never had the chance to have. Basically, when Labrys uses this noble phantasm, it positively influences the luck stat of whomever she uses it on, raising it one letter.

Rank B

STRENGTH: A
MANA: C
AGILITY: C
ENDURANCE: B
LUCK: E
CLASS SPECIFIC SKILL SET: Mad Enhancement: A (legit, Labrys can get mad strong when she's angry (“[Labrys’] outputting almost 220% of [her] theoretical strength limit, even though [her] joint actuators are operating only at 70% capacity” -actual quote from P4: Arena)) Magic Resistance: B, Independent Action: C, and Presence Concealment: B. Labrys has this fun little ability where she can influence the way others perceive her due to some special equipment she has installed; if she so chooses, she can look like anyone! Even a real human girl. Of course, it's not real, but it sure looks like it. It's not perfect, but it hints that she'd be able to blend in pretty well if she so wished.

They will be made aware that various attacks in their repertoire will require different levels of mana, which also will encourage them to find a Master - and fast, because getting caught without support or a supply of mana is not something they would want happening to them now, would they?

They will be able to shift from a manifested physical form into an invisible spirit form - the latter of which is less taxing on a master and helps to preserve magic energy.

Failure to promptly find a Master will cause their energy to run out, and they will fade away rapidly and die. All Servants, excluding those in the Archer class, will have one day to locate a Master. The Archer class servants will have three days.

All servants will know that the three red markings on the back of a master’s hands are command seals. Command seals can be activated by masters to give absolute orders to their servants - overriding the servant’s free will in the process. It is definitely up to your servant character to decide to share this piece of information.

Servants will be aware that they will be restored to regular state when the war ends. Whenever that is.

Please keep an eye out for the plotting post, which will go up soon. There, we do ask that you find a master-mun to partner up with. Let us know who your team will consist of, so that we can update the team roster accordingly.

Let us know if you have any comments, questions, and concerns.

MASTER OR SERVANT

[bifroster]

YOUR NAME: Lupin
CONTACT: omgsherlock (plurk & aim); lupindrake@gmail.com
CHARACTER NAME: Jane Foster

I’M OPTIONING TO ACT AS EITHER A MASTER OR A SERVANT!

FIRST CLASS CHOICE: Caster
Jane is a scientist through and through, but in her home world and in Ruby City, she has gained a lot of exposure and understanding of magic. She understands a lot of it because she is open to new ideas and because her own work is theoretical, and given to a lot of change and that a lot of it cannot be precisely explained.

SECOND CLASS CHOICE: Archer
While she is a scientist, Jane is becoming more and more involved in conflicts that are not just intellectual. She is not opposed to fighting if she has to, but she would rather not be directly involved or too close, leading me to believe that she would naturally want to stay out of direct harm's way, but would still want to help. Thus, long range fighting.

NOBLE PHANTASM 1:

ASTROLABE (image); Another tool that astronomers used were astrolabes: tools that could locate the sun, moon, and other planetary objects. Mostly used in Antiquity, they have fallen out of use to other technologies. However, in here, this astrolabe can find the positions of other servants and masters, even if they were hidden by some means, and would be able to effecitvely disguise her and her master from others.

    RANK: B

NOBLE PHANTASM 2:

TELESCOPE; Jane's main tool in her research is a telescope, so it makes sense for her to be really comfortable with using it. As an archer, she would be able to look through it and send a single projectile through it that would hit her mark with some pretty good accuracy (7.5/10 times). To keep with the space theme, it would like a burning white-hot comet, though much smaller, and would act like a bullet.

    RANK: B

STRENGTH: C
MANA: A
AGILITY: C
ENDURANCE: C
LUCK: C
MAGICAL RESISTANCE: B

CLASS SPECIFIC SKILL SET:

IF CHOSEN FOR CASTER
    Item Creation (telescopes) B

    Independent Action B
    Magic Resistance B

PERSONAL SKILLS:

Eye Of The Mind (True)

Obligatory Items Merchant (A): Being the necessary items merchant in OFF, Zacharie has access to an unlimited amount of items he stores in a hammerspace inside of his backpack. The items he has can be found here (ignore everything after Combat Items, save for the Aries-Card, the Music Box and the Grand Brachial) and here. It will work almost like Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon with Zacharie pulling out the items he needs out of his backpack.

NOBLE PHANTASM 1
B. Rabbit Scythe (C)
A huge red-and-black scythe that can cut through anything and anyone. Despite his lack of skill or experience with scythes as weapons or tools, he is completely proficient with this specific weapon - more as though the weapon is using itself.

NOBLE PHANTASM 2
Abyssal Destruction (A)
Creates a destructive field that crumbles/fragments whatever he wants to destroy. The speed and efficacy is inversely correlated to his current level of sanity/mental stability: under normal circumstances he can't activate it at all, but if mentally pushed far enough (or if he's Berserker and under Mad Enhancement) it can tear the surrounding environment completely apart in minutes. Functions primarily as an area effect.

STRENGTH: D

A large black headless horse, capable of shapeshifting (the motorcycle form comes from a wreck of a motorcycle that Shooter took into itself). Shooter is able to move on his own regardless of form, and can even run up and down walls.
NOBLE PHANTASM 2 (include description and rank): B - Shadow Control - Celty is able to manipulate her own shadow, and the shadows streaming from her neck as both physical tendrils and into physical objects such as clothing and her scythe. The object does not have to remain in her possession, but is not permanent.

She can be taken down almost as easily as a human, and she feels pain like a human, but she’ll be back up again shortly. However this may not extend to magic and spiritual attacks as it was a cursed sword that severed the connection between her and her head. Purifying or anti-dark weapons would probably do serious and more lasting damage.

Failure to promptly find a Master will cause their energy to run out, and they will fade away rapidly and die. All Servants, excluding those in the Archer class, will have one day to locate a Master. The Archer class servants will have three days.

All servants will know that the three red markings on the back of a master’s hands are command seals. Command seals can be activated by masters to give absolute orders to their servants - overriding the servant’s free will in the process. It is definitely up to your servant character to decide to share this piece of information.

Servants will be aware that they will be restored to regular state when the war ends. Whenever that is.

Please keep an eye out for the plotting post, which will go up soon. There, we do ask that you find a master-mun to partner up with. Let us know who your team will consist of, so that we can update the team roster accordingly.

Let us know if you have any comments, questions, and concerns.

Thank you, and we’ll see you on 29 September when we get under way.

SERVANT
YOUR NAME: Shiro
CONTACT: aim: nonesodangerous, plurk: planetarian
CHARACTER NAME: Tieria Erde
FIRST CLASS CHOICE: Rider - Tieria is a Gundam Meister, which means that he is easily within the top 10 pilots in his world.
SECOND CLASS CHOICE: Caster - In the 4-man team of Gundams, Gundam Virtue takes on the role of the "spellcaster" archetype. Slow and heavy but with high defense, Virtue is capable of firing an energy blast that can clear the battlefield.
THIRD CLASS CHOICE: Berserker - What the fuck did you just say about Lockon Stratos?
NOBLE PHANTASM 1: Virtue: An Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm, capable of energy blasts of such magnitude that entire strongholds are reduced to ashes. Its titanic size alone induces fear in opponents and loss of morale when it appears on the battlefield. Massively fortified by both armour and energy barriers, its only weak points are its slow speed and predictable charging times between blasts. Rank: B.
NOBLE PHANTASM 2: Nadleeh: With Anti-Thaumaturgy and Anti-Mind properties, this is Tieria's last resort. In the heart of Virtue lies Nadleeh, a sleek, monstrous machine that loses all heavy offensive and defensive capabilities in exchange for speed and a singular skill - the ability to enact the Trial System. This system blankets the immediate area in an anti-magic field, debilitating magecraft powers by multiple ranks and delivering excruciating mental pain. While the machine can move at great speed, to use the Trial System Nadleeh must remain entirely stationary - and with no armour to protect it, there are mere seconds where Nadleeh is entirely defenseless. Rank: A

STRENGTH: B
MANA: A
AGILITY: C
ENDURANCE: B
LUCK: D

CLASS SPECIFIC SKILL SET:
Rider: Riding B and Magic Resistance A
Caster: Item Creation C and Territory Creation A
Berserker: Mad Enhancement C and Magic Resistance A

PERSONAL SKILLS:
Pioneer of the Stars: Not only did Tieria's actions as a part of Celestial Being help bring the world together as one united force, but [INFORMATION REDACTED: PARADOX ERROR]. Rank: D.
Military Tactics: While Tieria typically operates under the orders of a tactical forecaster, he is nevertheless a competent tactician, both at a planning stage and during battle. Rank: B.
Mystic Eyes (???): As skill in the technological arts appears to be conflated with that of the magical ones in this scenario, Tieria's power over technology will manifest as what looks like some subset of Mystic Eyes. As in canon, they will glow with an iridescent rainbow hue when his Noble Phantasms are activated, and he will also have limited kinetic power over manipulating other forms of machinery and mechanically-operated items. He won't be able to interfere with something someone else is using, but he could open a locked door, for example. He will need to have eye contact with the object in question, and if his eyes are damaged in any way, this power is lost. Strangely, even Nadleeh, one of his Noble Phantasms, seems to depend hugely on this power... Rank: C.

Congratulations! The Holy Grail has selected you as the servant RIDER in the Holy Grail War! As a Servant, here is the information your character will receive upon waking:

There is an omnipotent wish-granting device called the Holy Grail present in the city, which has summoned them to fight as Servants for it. Six of their fellow Servants must be killed in order for the Holy Grail to be obtained and the winners will be granted a wish.
They will know all seven classes of servants: Archer, Assassin, Berserker, Caster, Lancer, Rider, and Saber, and that each servant has a set of special attacks called Noble Phantasms.
They will also be aware that this is an omnipotent wish granting device, not the Holy Grail that caught the blood of Christ.
They will know that have been transformed into a Servant. This means they have full knowledge of their stats (Personal skills, Class skills and Noble Phantasms too!), and that they need a Master to supply them mana so that they can remain manifested in the world and fight.
They will be made aware that various attacks in their repertoire will require different levels of mana, which also will encourage them to find a Master - and fast, because getting caught without support or a supply of mana is not something they would want happening to them now, would they?

Congratulations! The Holy Grail has selected you as a Master in the Holy Grail War. As a master, here is the information your character will wake up knowing:

That there is a set of command seals on the back of their dominant hand. (Click here for some examples.)

That these seals are magical in nature, although their purpose will remain unknown.

That something is up in the city, although what, well, who knows.

It will be up to your character to form a Master-Servant contract with a servant.

OKAY I'm changing my mind here, ONE of mine can be servant

SERVANT
YOUR NAME: Luc
CONTACT: gueyprince
CHARACTER NAME: Katherine Shalazar
FIRST CLASS CHOICE: Caster
SECOND CLASS CHOICE: Rider

NOBLE PHANTASM 1:

If Caster: STORYBOOK (B): Within a reality marble, Katherine casts a manipulation spell. Drawings within the marble come to life and perform services as commanded-- offensively, the drawings act as sentries to inflict damage upon the opponent.

If Rider: KAILASH (C): As opposed to casting a reality marble, Katherine summons her Giant Himalayan Snow Goose. And rides her. Geese are pretty serious business.

NOBLE PHANTASM 2:

wait we're gonna talk about this one because I have like four different ideas but I'm going to leave this up here OR IF NOT I'll have it be kailash we'll see

STRENGTH: D
MANA: A
AGILITY: C
ENDURANCE: B
LUCK: A

CLASS SPECIFIC SKILL SET:

Item Creation (Caster): B
Riding (if Rider): C
Territory creation (Caster): C
Magic resistance (if Rider): C

PERSONAL SKILLS
I'd like to use the 'Belief' thing as a personal skill, which would enhance her magic if she/her master believe in her but this is just throwing that out as a possibility but not NECESSARY.

Bravery: B
Animal Dialogue: B
