Hello there, pleasure to make your virtual acquaintances.
I go by a few aliases over the internet, usually either Bush or Constantine Makiri. This time I'm calling myself Gwyn, but if you prefer either of the names above, feel free to call me them (or if you have some clever nickname, feel free to call me that as well).
I don't actually really know how I found this forum...I have a bad memory for things like that, but I can assure you this isn't my first time RPing in general or RPing a nasuverse grail war in specific (As one of my previous names should indicate). A few friends and I found this setup interesting and wanted to try it out and, well, here I am.
So...I guess that's really all I have for now...I'm working on some characters and sheets, and hopefully will have something to post soon. It's been a while since I've been a stranger on a forum .

No problem. Also, though my celtic myth is sorta weak, isn't Gwyn a full fairy, considering that he reigns over Annwn? Because Heroic Spirits have to be human, to some extent.

Well, he is the son of Llud (who while a god in some myths was treated as a human in others. In Geoffrey of Monmouth's work, he is just a king of Britain) and Llud is not of the fae folk. Llud fought the Corianid in his first plague and THEY were fae. I am working under the assumption that one of them was Gwyn's mother.

Actually, we still have 2 caster slots in this world (assuming Gwyn is a Caster and not, say, a Rider or something). With Orochimaru taking the other free Caster slot, you can get the last slot easy.

As Gwyn, you will probably have to pick and choose his myths as to which ones will work, as some are clearly based on what we would call an elemental spirit. In some of the tales he is a full blooded fae creature. In some he is not, so just be careful~
Always enjoy seeing Celtic characters though, and I will tentatively call it workable. Good luck~
Edit: Fae fighting Fae in Celtic myth is nothing new as well. They warred amongst themselves as humans did in some tales.
