The Art of Shipping is as profound as it is dangerous; not for the faint of heart nor the weak of will, it makes gods and devils out of us all.
True name: Arturiapendragon
Class: lurker/joker
Alignment: chaotic neutral
Persuasion: B-
humor: C+
Dedication: A-
Intelligence: C
Style: D++
Skill list:
Presence Concealment Rank (C) true: A measure of one's ability to fade in and out of threads, this ability is more akin to a drive towards a specific set of principles then it is a traditional skill. At this level, the addition of art may be inserted into the middle of a conversation without the need for a persuasion check to avoid rank downs, even if that conversation if a flamewar. Depending on the quality, opposing posters must pass a dedication check to avoid a topic derail, creating an anti-thread effect.
Eye of the mind Rank (D++++) False: Eye of the mind is a skill that usually allows for the creation of fanworks, this variation, while lower level, is a recreation of that ability by locating and posting artwork. The traditional style check for usage of eye of the mind is nullified as it is not a personal creation, and instead a dedication check is required. As merely the transmitter of art rather then the creator, many normal bonuses for an eye of the mind check are nullified, however, depending on the quality of the work located, the effect in certain circumstances is still very potent.
Quiet: Rank (B--) True: A natural skill acquired by one whose posting style manifests only in certain fields such as the fanclubs or in fanfic threads, this may be considered the other side of the coin that is long winded. At random, the intelligence and the persuasion stat will be lowered, however as a natural consequence one may act as if they possessed the disengage skill at rank B false.
Eye for art Rank (D-) true: The ability to appraise fanworks, normally a tool more used for feedback, in this case the ability manifests as a complement to eye of the mind and assists in the gathering of topic or club appropriate art. A difficult to pass style check will also allow one to utilize art to enhance certain arguments, manifesting as an anti-argument attack equivalent to a rank D phantasm. This effect will be considered false.
Noble Phantasm:
Blinding Rage: Rank B- (Anti-Sanity):
This potent noble phantasm may be considered a heightened version of the ability "Mad enhancement," though the effects require certain stimuli, resulting in the - modifier. Upon entering the Rage all stats improve to Rank A, any stat that is already rank A earns a + modifier, enemy skills and noble phantasms classed as anti-sanity have their effects nullified as she herself is no longer sane, enemy players must pass a dedication check to avoid a massive stat reduction resulting from the surprising shift in personality, intelligence, persuasion and dedication require a separate style check to avoid being reduced by two ranks, and on stat alone it is impossible to resist all three rank downs. After 3 turns an increasingly difficult dedication check must be passed to preserve the effects of blind rage, the effect fading will result in the immediate activation of disengage, even against her will. Surprisingly, as this phantasm is not a willful act but is in actuality a manifestation of certain rarely seen parts of Arturia's character, this effect is True.
Alright, lets give this a try...
Name: Old Iron
Class: Wordsmith
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Persuasion: D
Humor: B-
Dedication: B -> D
Intelligence: C
Style: C+
Skills
Logic (C -> B)
A Servant's ability to handle situations with reasoning and a calm head. Allows Old Iron to ignore the effects of a Flame Troll without degrading Intelligence. Due to Intelligence Rank C, Logic has no effect on Persuasion.
Personal Amusement (C)
A Servant's ability to derive entertainment from a situation where other may or may not normally do so. Upgrades Logic by one rank when a Flame Troll's Intelligence rank is a least one rank below his own.
World Building (A)
Old Iron enjoys creating complex and well thought out universes, but the excessive use of this skill reduces Dedication by two ranks. The penalty is removed if Old Iron is using World Building in the presence of another Servant.
Hopeless Romantic (A)
Old Iron is unable to resist the desire to ship two or more characters together. Grants the ability to pair unpopular characters with popular ones without penalty and enables the use of nearly all Ingot types in The Forge. He will do what he can to grant characters in horrible, unhappy realms and situations the ability to obtain an absolutely happy ending.
Noble Phantasm:
The Forge (B)
Old Iron's greatest tool. Allows Old Iron to write whatever he desires without regard to standard fandom practices so long as he has the proper Ingots available. Beginning with Angst Ingots, he gradually began shifting to other types, such as Romance and Drama Ingots. He personally prefers to use Harem Ingots in many works, but has recently begun working with Lemon Ingots. With repeated use, The Forge has the potential to increase in rank.
Cult of Fraggle (C)
The pale imitation of another Servant's Noble Phantasm. Old Iron may call upon 'Not For One's Own Story' without granting bonuses and at a reduced rank.

I wouldn't mind having a sheet, if someone wanted to write it. :3c
Might try doing Neir later. All I know is his NPs include FLAP FLAP FLAP and "I don't create insults. I create a world that contains infinite insults."
He and Mike are also natural-born enemies in the great vein of Archer and Lancer, I think.

I'd appreceiate it if someone could make one for me.
Choose your Guild,

I'm sorry to say I've found I can't RP. I just can't trust myself to stick around long enough.
Well, really I was just making a super troopers reference that fell flat because I can't pass a humor check to save my life. Well, everyone is free to write whatever they like, it's all for fun anyway, if I was doing it though, it would probably end up rank C or D with a plus enhancement to signify it works better against alter fans. Maybe a second for people who go for lolis.
Tobias, thank you xDDD

(I knew I had this lying around somewhere!)
Truth
Though I think A++ for that skill is off. B as described, A only if you include something like "and gives them absolute happily ever afters in the often grimdark world that is Nasuverse."
