The year is 2050. The world has been saved, and history was restored.
Yet victory came at a cost. Magecraft was revealed and spread to the populace, and against all odds it refused to die. The world fell into upheaval, and then war. To restore order, drastic methods were required, and once again Chaldea stepped up to the fore.
Hero Summoning - the temporary inscription of a Heroic Spirit upon a compatible vessel. With the system they perfected and the collaboration of the Magic Association and world governments, Chaldea constructed the Hero Bureau - an organization of individuals authorized to use the powers of a Heroic Spirit to maintain peace and order. For ten years, heroes walked the earth again to protect and inspire humanity. Then in July of 2050, crisis struck once again. And you, aspiring hero, made your legend in the...
City of Myths
Summary:
City of Myths is an action RP where people temporarily transform into Heroic Spirits to do battle and save others in Neo Atlantis, the artificial island city that serves as the headquarters of the Hero Bureau. You are a newly fully licensed Hero, and have just arrived at Neo Atlantis for your first day on the job.
Bearing a Hero Device - a watchlike Mystic Code that enables Hero Transformation - it is your duty and your privilege to return heroism to the modern age.
Sheets require the usual package (name, personality, FC, why you became a hero/backstory) for both civilian and heroic identities as well as a Hero Name. A design for your Hero Device is optional. Stats are required for both human and Hero modes, and the details for determining them are below. Stats (Normal):
Strength (STR): Striking power, lifting power, etc.
Endurance (END): Defensive power, taking hits, surviving impacts, etc.
Agility (AGI): Speed and mobility
Dexterity (DEX): Precision with fine motor tasks, skill-intensive weapons, etc.
Magical Energy (MGI): How much magical power you have. Vital for fueling transformation into Hero Mode.
Casting (CAS): How skilled you are at using magic. Determines the number and power of spells you can wield as a mere human.
Perception (PER): How observant you are. Used for surrounding checks and long-distance attacks.
Stats (Hero):
Strength (STR): Striking power, lifting power, etc.
Endurance (END): Defensive power, taking hits, surviving impacts, etc.
Agility (AGI): Speed and mobility
Dexterity (DEX): Precision with fine motor tasks, skill-intensive weapons, etc.
Magical Energy (MGI): How much magical power you possess as a Hero. Used both to maintain transformation into Hero Mode and power offensive spells, techniques, and Noble Phantasms.
Casting (CAS): How skilled you are at using magic. Determines the strength and capabilities of your magical attacks.
Perception (PER): How observant you are. Used for surrounding checks and long-distance attacks.
Luck (LCK): The ability to defy fate and achieve the impossible. Used for certain checks in combat.
Stat Determination:
Spoiler:
For your base stats while not in Hero Mode, 210 points are available to distribute between the various stats. Stats range from E - A as follows:
E: Below average. Basically, you suck.
D: Ordinary. Functional, and nothing more.
C: Well-trained. At this level, you’re better than the standard fitness nut and local athlete.
B: Peak human: You rival Olympians and prodigies. Few normal people can approach your prowess.
A: Superhuman: You’re far and beyond above what any ordinary human can do. Heroes, on the other hand, could say the exact same of you.
Each stat must have at least 10 points (E) in it, and rankings range from E - A as follows:
For your base stats in Hero Mode, the number of points available for distribution between stats varies by class. For Class breakdowns, see Classes. While stat ranks are by and large similar to those of normal people, there is an important difference for Heroes. By spending 100 points on a stat, you can either give the stat a rank up, such as from B to A, or a Plus. A Plus on a stat allows that stat to be doubled for a single turn in combat or action taken outside of combat, and can be used once a day. Up to two Pluses can be placed on any one stat, including stats of A. While a stat of C (312) and C (378) are equivalent in rank, the higher stat numerically remains more effective. Furthermore, points spent on a Plus do not count toward the numerical value of the corresponding stat; for example, a stat of B (317) would have the same numerical value as B+ (317), despite 417 points having been spent on the latter.
Each stat must have at least 100 points (E) in it, and rankings range from E - A as follows:
Hero Transformation provides a number of benefits. The most obvious, of course, is access to the extraordinary abilities of a Heroic Spirit. However, Hero Transformation also freezes the body in its current state; for example, if you are stabbed and then transform, as long as you remain in Hero Mode, you will not incur further injury from your stab wound. Of course, the Hero Transformation being cancelled will defer such protection.
Hero Transformation is dependent upon the MGI that the Vessel has remaining, and requires a minimum of 10 MGI for one transformation. The Vessel can choose how much of their MGI they allocate to any one transformation while adhering to this requirement, however.
Total MGI = Normal MGI * 5 + Hero MGI
Previous MGI - Transformation Upkeep - MGI used that turn = Current MGI
Suffering extensive damage or lethal injuries will force cancel a Hero Transformation. While the loss of a limb may not trigger forced cancellation, only the most resilient of heroes can temporarily withstand a critical blow to the heart or head.
Magical Energy is restored to full after one hour or a full rest.
Numbers:
Spoiler:
Spells:
Magecraft - the divine providence granted to humans since ancient times, and the first miracle. Spells have four traits: Cost,Rank, Effect, and Damage. Cost is how much MGI is needed at minimum to cast a spell, while Rank is the level of mystery present in the spell. The Effect is what the spell does, and the Damage is how much damage the spell - if offensive - will do. Defenses against spells generally check against Damage; however, some may check against Rank instead.
You cannot cast spells that have a higher Rank than your CAS.
Combat:
Combat is turn-based, with turns proceeding in order of descending AGI. There are two types of attacks: physical and magical. Physical attacks compare STR and END. If the difference is negligible, damage will be the same, or possibly even non-existent. If the difference is a full rank, damage will be incurred by the affected portion of the body. If the damage is two ranks or more, the affected portion of the body will be destroyed. Magical attacks compare the spell’s Damage Rank with the target’s END, which is reduced by one rank. Damage consequences are identical to those of physical attacks.
Hero Creation:
Spoiler:
The following Servants are not available for player use: Jeanne, Amakusa, Arturia, Medea, Gilgamesh, Emiya, Mordred, Edmond Dantes, and Angra Mainyu.
When creating a Hero, a number of things must be considered: the skills that represent a Hero’s unique talents, the stats that represent what degree of the Hero’s power can be inscribed upon the Vessel, and the Noble Phantasm that represents a Hero’s legend.
Skills fall into two categories: Class Skills and Personal Skills. Class Skills are inherent to the Class of the selected Hero, and are predetermined. Personal Skills are inherent to the selected Hero, and are created by the player and balanced by me.
A Noble Phantasm - the incarnation of a legend, the greatest weapon at one’s disposal, the hallmark of a Heroic Spirit. They are usually far more powerful than an ordinary blow, and thus require appropriate compensation. The cost to use a Noble Phantasm is dependent on Rank. Damage and Cost are as follows:
|[ E = 300 ]|[ D = 400 (]|[ C = 500 ]|[ B = 600 ]|[ A = 700 ]|[ EX = 1500 ]|
Defensive, Support, or other types of Noble Phantasms will be balanced on a case-by-case basis.
In general, there are four key stats of a Hero selected for Hero Transformation: Stat Points, Skill Points, NP Points, and Upkeep. Stat Points are used to determine the stats of the transformed Hero; for more details on Stat Point allocation, see Stat Determination. Skill Points are used to buy and level skills for a Hero. Class Skills are available at Rank E free of charge. Upgrading Class Skills costs 5 Skill Points per rank with the exception of rank EX, which costs 10 points to achieve. Personal Skills must be purchased at Rank E, and then upgraded. Skill leveling is achieved through cumulative point investment, and each rank is costed as follows:
|[ E = 10 points ]|[ D = 15 points ]|[ C = 20 points ]|[ B = 25 points ]|[ A = 35 points ]|[ EX = 40 points ]|
NP Points are used to purchase and upgrade Noble Phantasms. 10 NP Points are required to have a Noble Phantasm at Rank E, and 5 NP Points can be spent to raise its rank by one. 5 NP Points can also be spent to give a Noble Phantasm a plus, which doubles its power for one use per day. 10 NP Points must be spent to raise a Noble Phantasm’s rank to EX; however, the Noble Phantasm must first be raised to Rank A++.
Upkeep is the per turn MGI cost of remaining in Hero Transformation, and is paid at the end of each turn. Once Upkeep is unable to be paid, the Hero Transformation is cancelled, returning the person to their mortal form.

okay, so like say if I apped someone with Hassan, and I wanted to follow his canon stats and skills and I have leftover points, can I use them for stuff, or are they just considered gone?

You can make extra skills and such and if they fit, I'll let you keep them.
You can also not use them all and make a weaker character for the sake of roleplaying or canonicity, which is cool too.
- - - Updated - - -
That would be for Skills if you had any Skill Points leftover; points for stats, skills, and NPs don't transfer between the categories.
also I see you only have "magecraft." Is it possible to app stuff like mixed bloods and stuff like that.
Also how would the points be allocated in that fashion.
