Will take a while, I'm doing him also as a Servant, so that comes first before I'm finished with a RP profile.

Well, you can have him show up as a servant here if you wish. Mil is intending to run a Grail War in the RP at some point.

@MysteriousHeroineX: Yup, just jump right on in. :3 We still have plenty of room, believe me. Also, welcome to both the forum and Cross Effects! :)

Also, long, long, long, long post. Also, Tom tries giving a peptalk! :D In his own special way! :D ...Since the first half of it is depressing as hell, he's probably not succeeding, especially since he's not exactly the most sensitive soul on the planet, but hey, at least he's trying! :D Also, he's offering himself as a bloodbank now, yaaaaayy!! :D

But... yeah, I'll appreciate it when I can write shorter posts again. I think these long ones where I respond to a million things come out as a bit of a mess, and thus have a significant drop in quality from even my usual efforts. ^^"

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~
This is my mod voice. ...Most of the time anyway.

Yeah, long posts like that are a pain in the ass to write. That's the problem when we get into long, drawn-out scenes with a lot of characters, posts get more and more extended and harder to write.

Certainly, in his own novel series he is implied to have become sort of Counter Guardian equivalent, and in his own world his fame equals that of King Arthur (and he reached equivalent of Avalon after his demise), so definitely he would qualify to be a Heroic Spirit in HGW involving parallel worlds.

Took me a while upon getting home to get my response together, but there you go, YOLF!
Hopefully Tywin won't freak out when his giant dragon ally has a dullahan tagging along FOR JUSTICE/RIGHTEOUSNESS.
=P

Hmm, I was talking to Alice on IRC and she said that a new character is welcome.
Well then, I guess I'll be jumping in the frame as Tamamo.
A Caster, but not the one you people are used to. :P




P.S: No, that's not a tail behind her. This is 100% Human.

Well, you need Elf's approval to join, but there's no reason she'll reject it as long as the sheet is reasonable.

Eh, human Tamamo.

I just mean this as a fun observation, but wow man, your far-stretched mythological connections make it seem like you wrote for the Campione light novels.
[13:38:37] Helligator: Depends on the god, but gods by definition in Nasuverse are strong because they have divine authority.
[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

Let it be known that on this day
Lyco mourned the loss
of the fluffy tail
may it rest in peace
and be touched with love and care
by those worthy few
in the afterlife

;n;

This is not far fetched.


Basically, in Fate Extra CCC, we get to meet "Amaterasu gone delinquent".
However, the spirit that we meet is not labelled as "Amaterasu", rather, it is called "Golden White Face".
This is the very name that one uses to identify the 'disaster' that went from China to India to Japan. A group of Meiji Folklorists did an analysis of the legends and related this to Hokusai's information, found here.
Nasu himself has stated that Tamamo is not a Fox Spirit, but should more properly be called a Dakini-type. She uses witchcraft too (but opts not to in the game), techniques of Deva, which do not originate from Japan but find their roots in Buddhism. It's in the backstory of Tamamo herself -- I went to replay F/E and note down Tamamo's Dialogue, also, went up to check CCC's translations for this project.


Now, as to how they can be different embodiments. When the protagonist comes out of the vision of 'Golden White Faced', Tamamo tells them to 'forget what they've seen'. It is because she is deeply hateful of her 'past self', which she identifies as a different existence.


That 'past-self' is Daji.


Now, how can Daji and Tamamo No Mae be different if even in Nasu Canon, they're stated to be all aspects of Amaterasu, and according to legends (which Nasu correlates), it was the same Spirit that wrecked all of this Chaos?


Simple. In Daji's tale, it was said that Daji was originally a normal woman, however, the Spirit that took hold of her ate her soul and became one with her. A level above possession.


The same could be said for Misukume, who was potentially a human being at first, but them, the Spirit merged with Misukume and gave birth to Tamamo No Mae.


While it is the same spirit everywhere, the 'vessel' used is different.

Please no CCC spoilers, I don't know what it is you posted or what you planned to post but I will not read it, if there's one thing I am truly against it's spoilers so if you're gonna do that I'm gonna be in a bad mood.
