Stairway to Heaven [Fate/JJBA]

[The Out Of World]

​

You are Shirou Emiya.​

You are child who survived the fire sparked by the destruction of the Fourth Holy Grail War in a man's act of desperation, defiance and sacrifice.

But you are not the child whose body is made of swords.

You are but one of many possibilities, one among countless alternate variations of a single person.

What is it that you see as you peer into the depths of the Kaleidoscope, so vast and filled with colors beyond imagination?

Who do you see in the mirror? A man? A monster? A fool? A philosopher? A sword to slay evil? An axe to behead the rebellious?​

Who are you?

[x] Everything you knew and loved from your previous life was stolen from you by two squabbling kings. Fate is your nemesis...a difficult foe to overcome, as it is the 「Gravity」 between people. You shall never allow a privileged few born into power to enforce their will over you. Freedom to control your own destiny is your birthright. Made in Heaven: Enlightened Existence Between Two Beings

[x] You mind was reborn in the aftermath of battle. You see the nuances of society as advantages, strategies, alliances, weapons and tactics. Your mind is geared for survival and conflict. You will do anything to win, for battle does not determine who is right; 「War」 is a struggle to determine those who live on and bring their goals to fruition, be they right or wrong. A Warrior Unfettered: Pure History of Conflict

[x] You were allowed to live, but must face 「Retribution」as tribute to those souls who were not. The mud and the fire painted your skin rich brown and your hair deep black. You take the blame for others so they may live pristine lives; the burdens and responsibilities of the world must be placed on a man who is prepared to accept them. You allow others to shift their scorn and onto you, and you take all the ill will redirected at you in stride. If there is a job so foul that others are unwilling to do, no fear for loss of reputation or the opinions of others will hinder you. Those who do good shall receive good unto them, and those who inflict nothing but the world's evils unto others shall face the weight of their actions.

Made in Heaven: Enlightened Existence Between Two Beings

[x] An unusual event changed you; a wish was granted and something dissolved into you. Nowadays you are a carefree spirit that prefers the tranquility of nature over other aesthetics. You are snarky and a trickster by heart, for laughter is the medicine of the soul. You believe the violence of swords should be returned to the safety and peace of a 「Scabbard」where they can do little harm. You have always been nimble and spry like a young man in the prime of his life. You can see things nobody else can...but that's your special secret. Mists of Avalon: Secrets of the Fair Folk

[x] You remember your life before the fire. You were an orphan, abandoned by parents you were too young to know and cast out into the world alone. When the fire consumed the orphanage, you persevered. You did not succumb to the flames, nor did you sink into the tainted mud. You possess power in spades, but lack the finesse to control it. Your blood is red-hot with excitement and your「Bones」quake with raw power. Real of the World SEED: Variable Crystal Bones

Some comments from the wdango thread people may want to be aware of:

That they do, I suppose. Each choice has a drastic impact on the character's backstory. In my opinion, the Gravity Origin has the most heartbreaky feels if you can figure out its secrets, while the War Origin has the potential to become utterly broken. PtV

Some routes have reality marbles as a possible skill to unlock, while other Origins cannot attain this power. The Retribution path allows you to practically weaponize your terrible Luck, assuming you grind Endurance like a mother%$#@er. The Bones route, however, makes you unable to defy Fate, and by choosing it the future is set in stone.

Click to shrink...

Very well. "Waves" is a pretty broad category, so I'll make it a Fire-Sunlight-Lightning trio of Element Affinities, as multiple affinities are not unheard of.

However, ultimately, I too approve of Joshirou.

But...what is Justice, o3o? Is it for the rich, the powerful? Is it for the good of society?

Is it justice to punish a few petty criminals, mere symptoms, when the root cause remains unaddressed?

Only we can defy the fate of man; to scrabble in the mud, grow old, and die pitifully. Only we can raise them up into everlasting glory.

That is justice, and thus any steps on that road are also justice! It is pure selfishness to refrain, to hold back, out of some misguided attempt to keep our hands clean. A real hero will do whatever it takes, be willing to sacrifice everything to achieve justice. Even if it means there is no place for him in the new world he creates.

(Hero of Justice and villain are not mutually exclusive. )

I also like the War Origin, though. Mostly because I find the mindset interesting - feels like we'd end up as rivals with Rin.

Also, I can't find the post, but I think OOW mentioned Bone being potentially the most OP of the origins, but also the most restricted due to fate being set in stone.
