Lantz's fanfiction round up and discussion

[Cherry Lover]

minus the clones

Aww....

Also, who does that actually leave? Extra consists of servants (who will presumably need to be summoned) and clones, basically, aside from a couple of non-clone characters like Dan and Leo.

well contextually sakura might work but not rin.

What, you mean in addition to normal Sakura? It would certainly be interesting to have her there. Extra Shinji would be kind-of interesting too, although I guess he'd still be a little kid....

[lantzblades]

yes in addition to normal sakura, extra rin however is too complex to fit and extra shinji is pointless.

Why is Extra Shinji "pointless"?

Having Extra Sakura around would be interesting, though.

[lantzblades]

He's Shinji, no appreciable difference in the canon one and with Sakura not a matou it makes it more pointless because this Shinji will be not a bastard

[Cherry Lover]

Really? I recall there being a hell of a lot of difference. Not least that he's eight, and just wants a big sister....

True, I guess.

yes and no

True, I guess.

yes exactly

[Cherry Lover]

Well, OK, we need to get back on track.

So far, we have the following masters and servants confirmed:

Sakura / Joan
Shirou / Arturia (Saber)
Rin / EMIYA (Archer)
Kohaku / Medusa (Rider)
Akiha / Medea (Caster)

So, we need 9 more master/servant pairs. I am guessing Bazett/Lancer will be one of them, and I also assume Ilya will be a master (although her servant is likely up in the air), but I'm not sure who else we would pick. For one thing, I'm still not 100% sure who would even be around out of the Extra crew.

could still be berserker

and yeah go ahead and add them to the list

[Cherry Lover]

could still be berserker

Yeah, it could, the question is whether it should.

and yeah go ahead and add them to the list

Well, you're the one who is likely to be keeping the list

But, yeah, that figures.

[lantzblades]

Yeah, it could, the question is whether it should.

it makes things interesting

Well, you're the one who is likely to be keeping the list

it helps to keep it straight.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, it could, the question is whether it should.

it makes things interesting

OK, fair enough. I was just unsure if you might want to replace him. Plus, logically speaking, if she's now living with Kiritsugu then she wouldn't have reason to summon Berserker, because that was the Einsbern plan. Also, having him with Saber as an ally makes them rather hard to defeat....

Well, you're the one who is likely to be keeping the list

it helps to keep it straight.

Yeah, definitely. This is your idea, though, so it figures you should keep the list.

[lantzblades]

you certainly have a point about berserker, logically the servant under her would change.

Yeah.

And, like I said, we do have to be careful about making team Emiya too powerful. Putting Shirou (who is basically an ally-magnet, as well as a good fighter) together with Ilya (who is an insanely strong master) makes it hard to come up with much in the way of good battles.
