[attr="class","pork"] MASTER OF RED BERSERKER CSILLA BÁRÁNY
[attr="class","buns"]Csilla is the homunculus vessel for the Red Faction, part of an ongoing experiment by her family line that has left her without strong ties to people. Unbeknownst to any, she has a very strong wish, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to capture the grail - even so far as to betray her own faction in a worst case scenario. She's a bit naive but dangerously smart, and though she doesn't have a violent bone in her body, she's willing to use her servant to that end.
She knows she's Lü Bu's only really obvious weakness, and it has made her very cautious. Though she wishes to get to know her fellow Red Faction members, she will not be one for needless travel once the war has begun. She is trying to do all in her power to ensure she wins, even while understanding she is very ill equipped to do so.
FRIENDS; Never had one before! She'd love some! ENEMIES; Anybody in the way of her wish, sadly. LOVERS; Never had one of these either! She wonders what that's like? OTHER; She needs an escort from her family! Details are here: A Lady's Escort
[attr="class","buns"]Raluca is the current acting Supervisor of Taixuan, a position granted to her by the Mage's Association. On paper, she works for them, and is supporting the Red Faction along with her usual duties (essentially making sure the mundane world does not discover magic due to the actions of the mages in the area - and now, keeping the spill over from the war to a minimum!)
That being said, she's really more of a Black Faction sympathizer. She'd like to see the Association knocked off it's high horse a little, due to family issues of her own. Ultimately though, she really does not want to see the masters of either side die, and she will do her best to help both factions and heal those that need it. For now, she uses a male alter ego to deal directly with the Black Faction when it's necessary, going so far as to use different familiars as well.
FRIENDS; Everyone in Taixuan is under her care. She's quite friendly, so feel free to chat with her! ENEMIES; She's likely to develop some, especially if her secret gets out. LOVERS; Casual flings in the past, nothing serious at the moment! OTHER; Everyone can rp with her, seriously. She will extend her help to everyone she can.
[attr="class","pork"] BERSERKER OF RED LU BU FENGXIAN THE FLYING GENERAL
[attr="class","buns"]Berserker is Lü Bu, a Chinese general notorious for betraying others. Currently he's gone mostly mad due to his class, and he cannot speak. He views everyone as an opponent or an enemy, and he will gladly cut them down. Only Csilla, his master, is spared this behavior. Due to his summoning spell being altered, he alternately believes Csilla is Chen Gong (his trusted tactician) or his wife. He responds very calmly to her, and though he does not speak, he seems able to understand at least the basics of what she says. They've even been known to sit and have tea together.
FRIENDS; None. ENEMIES; Everyone that is not Csilla. LOVERS; Not happening sorry lol. OTHER; He is available to kill off anyone you may need to get dead! Either faction, it does not matter!
Lu Bu - He's a Berserker class and so not exactly plot material. BUT IF YOU NEED TO KILL A CHAR, HE IS A PERFECT OPTION. EITHER FACTION. =D
General Meng Wu is going to be a faux Servant for General Meng Tian , who is another faux Master. I want Wu to fight against a Servant with an army phantasm first though. But after that, please kill him in front of his son. Wu would like to challenge a military commander said to be the strongest warrior is his time anyway and get his butt kicked
I demand to be the first death Lu Bu takes. This is an honor I must have.
There is Actual Plot Motive behind it, surprisingly which I totally planned off and did not realize just now. Gotta make the rest of the boy band angry so we can have that fair 3vs1 fight.
in other news she's about as untrustworthy as it gets, so while i'd love to offer her as an escort she's not exactly escort material -- but i do think she'd make an 'effort' to get close to csilla because csilla's magical circuits are off the fricking charts.
suspicious, yo.
re: lu bu she's going to stay the fuck out of his way thanks
re: raluca i may or may not have plans for svetlana to betray the red faction, depending on how kat feels about it, so ay. aayyy.
No worries on that front! Csilla is gonna want to meet all her teammates anyway, if only due to EXTREME CURIOSITY. I worry about Svetlana betraying Csilla since I know Csilla won't be overly cautious around her. I guess that will also depend on how the escort thing works out, and how much they care/are aware. Csilla is interesting in that nobody realizes how much she wants to win. Badly enough that she too could betray her faction, if only to boost her own chances of getting the wish. I don't think anybody will see it coming lol.
Good idea yo. Only Csilla gets to calmly sip tea with that guy.
Well Raluca may give her someplace to stay then, as her 'alt ego' self that's safe for the Black Faction. Raluca is really very nice, and wants to help all the Masters survive if possible (not possible and she knows that but she will try). She's not a naive softie like Csilla tho, so Svetlana should mind herself lol.

Blue yeah it probably does depend on csilla's escort, because i get the feeling svetlana would try to kill csilla to get rid of the threat that is lu bu once she commits herself to betraying the red faction.
and yeah, i doubt svetlana would try to get all close to raluca. their loyalties are dubious enough as-is, haha. csilla and lana would probably meet day -1 or 0, whereas raluca and lana might not meet until after the start of the war?
Wrath Haha yeah that's kinda what I thought too. Once the war starts, Csilla is probably going to try and hide herself away cuz she knows she's an easier target than Lu Bu.
That makes sense to me! Csilla will probably be introducing herself formally to everyone. She's also the homunculus vessel for Red which adds extra complications lol. And yeah that makes sense I suppose. Raluca is already established as the supervisor and she essentially knows most of the players, or knows of their families, as it is. She's just there to offer her help.
So, Wrath offered Nadia first dibs on killing Lana, and I said hell yes, but we didn't really know how to go about it. I had an idea, and I haven't told Wrath yet, which is why she's tagged here too.
I told Blue that the smartest thing for Team Red to do after Caster died is to put Nadia on bodyguard duty for Csilla.
The smartest thing for Lana to do after turning traitor is to take out Berserker, ie take out Csilla.
The only way for Lana to do that is to stealth assassinate Nadia (she'll be back, but if you smash her corpse to bits, it'll take a while).
Then Csilla's dead, lbr. But we have a back-up copy of Csilla already made back home to return to the fray! Woot woot!
...But not until after Berserker is starved of prana and poofs out of existence. Or Lana could even try to make a pact with Berserker (if Lancer is still alive/this is Day 5, this could be his golden moment to stab himself), but I'm pretty sure that won't go down well--or maybe it could up until he sees Csilla/wifeykins again.
i am so okay with this. i do think svetlana might pact with berserker herself, if only to point-and-shoot, but lbr with lana as a master instead of csilla he's so nerfed. (would there be a way for svetlana to take the command seals from csilla, though? bc otherwise um. she may just abscond and leave berserker there to flip the frick out.)
which could be the opportunity black faction needs to come in and wipe out their greatest threat? Tanz
but yes, nadia reforms and lana is adequately freaked out and the betrayer is dead, yay!
(aka red faction is so screwed, but it's going to be fun).
[10:23:59 PM] R | Katya: fyi i do think [10:24:05 PM] R | Katya: if buu is okay with this clusterfuck [10:24:14 PM] R | Katya: day 5 is a good day for it all [10:24:16 PM] R | Katya: for lancer to die [10:24:28 PM] R | Katya: granted that also means team red implodes REALLY EARLY [10:24:32 PM] ARI: yeah [10:24:43 PM] ARI: i think lancer could die day 5 [10:25:04 PM] ARI: well [10:25:07 PM] ARI: he IS dying day 5 [10:25:24 PM] ARI: but idk csilla/nadia could go day6 or 7 tbh [10:26:02 PM] R | Katya: nadia gets koschei for a servant eventually--i think she might even seek out her help to catch up to lana [10:26:33 PM] R | Katya: and theres no reason they cant take team black servants, should any free up [10:26:35 PM] R | Katya: i mean [10:26:38 PM] ARI: yeah [10:26:42 PM] R | Katya: theyll figure something out [10:26:52 PM] R | Katya: i just didnt think team red would be the underdogs [10:26:55 PM] R | Katya: or so severely the underdogs [10:27:03 PM] R | Katya: i knew theyd have no teamwork lol [10:27:07 PM] ARI: LOL [10:27:47 PM] ARI: csilla/nadia could be planned for day 7? svetlana would probably disappear for all of day 6 [10:28:25 PM] R | Katya: makes sense to me [10:28:28 PM] ARI: and if tanz wants to rally black to eliminate the kinda nerfed lu bu [10:28:32 PM] ARI: that could be 7/8 [10:28:47 PM] ARI: gives time for nadia to regenerate, possibly contract koschei [10:28:52 PM] R | Katya: ideally [10:28:59 PM] R | Katya: theres time for the second csilla to come back [10:29:09 PM] R | Katya: which just requires someone to fly her corpse back to hungary and return again [10:29:14 PM] R | Katya: bc berserker doesnt get much of a chance to rp [10:29:18 PM] ARI: yeah [10:29:22 PM] R | Katya: and berserker defending his "wife" [10:29:29 PM] R | Katya: would be a crowning moment of awesome [10:29:32 PM] ARI: LOL [10:29:38 PM] ARI: it would be [10:29:58 PM] ARI: die defending his wife [10:30:04 PM] ARI: if buu wants berserker to die [10:30:16 PM] ARI: (bc it's a prime opportunity for a glorious death tbh)
BlueTanzWrath (not that wrath doesnt already know this)
[10:28:28 PM] ARI: and if tanz wants to rally black to eliminate the kinda nerfed lu bu
i don't really know if I wanna rally the team vs lu bu. we'll see. but zheng and the boys definitely have it a goal of facing off to the finish. I don't know about the other servants/masters, but that's their intent.
OMG I AM SO DOWN WITH THIS IDEA ITS FRICKIN GLORIOUS. Kat you're a genius holy shit. I think we should wait and see how Lu Bu pans out, I can't decide if he should be left to fade or if he should be with Lana and freak when he spots new Csilla. I can't deciiiiiiide lol. But yeah this plan is A+!
