Has anybody done a sheet for the original St. Nicholas? You know, the one who lived in Asia Minor, secretly gave gifts, and once stitched together three dismembered children whose remains were dumped in brine?

That went from 0 to 100 real quick.

Alternative Classes: Rider, Caster
True Name: The Magi
Title: “The Wise Kings”
Source: Christian Legends
Place of Origin: Multiple Places, probably Asia and Africa
Alignment: Lawful Good
Gender: Male
Likes: Children, Giving Presents, Charity, Traveling
Dislikes: Intolerance, Egocentrism, Avarice
Natural Enemy:
- Any Member of the Avenger Class: For Ruler, the Avenger class is the embodiment of the unfair retribution. Although he understand what made them achieve the feeling of vengeance, he believes one should not give up to it, and the forgiveness is the one of the most important virtues.
- Gilgamesh: The ego and avarice of the King of Heroes also goes against Ruler’s belief of charity and modesty. As one who have an infinite treasure and does not accept the concept of sharing, he could be seen as the inverse of Ruler’s “spirit of Christmas”.
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 84 kg
Attribute: Earth
Traits: Sovereign
Lore:
When the messiah Jesus Christ was still an infant, he was visited by wise men, who then gave him gifts. Gold, frankincense, myrrh. They were not named neither numbered in any of the Holy Scriptures, but different traditions gave identities to them. Since their gifts were three, the most common interpretation is that they were three wise men. Other tradition identify them as kings, because of the prophecies that told that the messiah would be soon worshiped by kings.

In western legends, they were three: Melchior from Persia, Caspar from India, and Balthazar from Babylonia. The three of them followed one star, the Star of Bethlehem; to arrive at the manger were the infant Jesus was with Mary and Joseph, bringing gifts to him. Their act of presenting the new messiah became a tradition of presenting family and friends during Christmastime.

As a Servant, Ruler is a compound of multiple spirits that could be identified with characteristics of the Wise Men. A composite spirit made of scholars, priests and kings from all Asia and Africa whose faith and compassion are similar to a Saint. Because of this nature, Ruler does not possess an evident personality, and just follow the teachings of Christ. Ruler’s existence can be compared to Phantoms or Wraiths, but it is not exactly any of these.


Personality: Ruler is a rightful man who will seek for a noble and respectful battle for the Grail. He will praise the heroes and will admire their dreams and objectives, but he will not let any lack of honor during the war. His speech is mostly mechanic, as he does not use different intonations in his voice. He also does not use the pronoun “I”, always using “We” instead as he is aware of his nature as a composite spirit.

Key Words:
- Gold, frankincense and myrrh: The three gifts given by the Wise Men. In the future, it lead to the tradition of giving presents and gifts during the celebration of Christmas.
- Star of Bethlehem: A star in the night sky, it was used as a compass by the Wise Men to reach the manger where Jesus was. It became a symbol of faith, also a divine symbol.
- Wise Kings: “May all kings fall down before him”. Prophecies made the legend of the Wise Men to evolve, as they become “The Three Wise Kings”.

Catalyst: If in a Holy Grail War a Ruler-class Servant is needed during Christmastime, the date is enough to work as a catalyst to summon Ruler.
Equipment: Ruler is only equipped with a shepherd’s crook.

Parameters:
Strength – C
Endurance – B
Agility – C
Mana – A
Luck – A
Noble Phantasm – A+

Class Skills:
Magic Resistance [A] – Cancel spells of A-rank or bellow. None of the individual spirits that are part of Ruler could be qualified for a Magic Resistance so high, but the summoning as a Ruler-class Servant made it possible to raise this rank to be comparable to a Saint.

True Name Discernment [A] – Information of Servants, such as True Name and Skills are revealed to the owner of this Skill. Besides these data, Ruler also can access information over the Noble Phantasm of the targets.

God’s Resolution [D] – Ruler is granted with one Command Spell for each Servant that participates in the Holy Grail War that he oversees. This Skill rank’s was reduced in function to his own Noble Phantasm.

Personal Skills:
Charisma [B-] – The talent to command armies and countries. Rank-B is a symbol that Ruler is able to lead a country as a king. Since Ruler is a composite spirit and only part of these were kings, this Skill attained a negative modifier.

Riding [C] – As every legend of the Wise Men possess a long travel made by them, most vehicles and animals can be handled by Ruler.

Rule of Gold [A] – Ruler possess wealth accumulated from his many identities. Although, it is expected that he will not use this skill for any kind of personal gain.

Star of Bethlehem [A] – The star that was a guide for the Wise Men. This Skill can be interpreted as an alternative Skill for Revelation, and works in similar ways, as an instinct, or sixth sense during battles, however also to optimize choices made by Ruler.



Noble Phantasms:

Holy Presenter

The Gift of Retribution

Rank A+ / Anti-Unit

The crystallization of the act of giving gifts and presents, started by the Wise Man, this Noble Phantasm can act in two ways, according to the judgement of Ruler. It can be a blessing; a power given by Ruler if he finds someone that needs or deserve it. By using the cane on its right hand, it can heal completely someone, even if they were affected by a fatal wound. After the healing, the target will also have all their parameters buffed for the period of an entire day.

Although, this Noble Phantasm can also be used as a Punishment. However, Ruler will not use it as a killing method, but using the same method, it can reduce harshly the parameters of an enemy, and also stunning it temporarily. This Noble Phantasm is used as a mean to control Servant’s acts during a Holy Grail War.

Class Skills

Magic Resistance (C): Cancels spells two verses or shorter. Lancer is a famed opponent of pagan magic and rituals.
Thor has a particular beef with him, though the thunder god's wrath is lessened around this happy time of the year.

Personal Skills

Apostle of Germany (B+): A unique version of the Saint skill that forms a composite skill of sorts with Father of the Nation. Lancer
became the patron saint of Germany through his considerable role in bringing Christianity to the pagan parts of Europe, unifying a
great deal of Germania under Christendom. Though he cannot be called a "founding father", he nonetheless gains a bonus to recognizing
Servants or Noble Phantasms originating from Germania, as well as defending against their attacks and attempting diplomacy with them.

Christmas Gift (A+): Lancer is able to produce small tokens to give as gifts that grant various buffs to the recipient. Plucked from
his Christmas tree, they are shaped like apples but will reveal their contents when peeled or cut open. Early Christmas trees were
decorated with apples, symbolizing the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. This tradition would continue until the
Victorian Era, where not a single German household was complete at Christmas without a small, tabletop "tannenbaum" or Yule tree.
Due to his tree's origins, the drop-rate for Yggdrasil Seeds will be higher than normal when hanging around Lancer.

Tree-Feller (C): A skill represented by the axe Lancer carries. It is not a Noble Phantasm, but it has incredible cutting power for
a simple tool. Lancer's only recorded use of it involved cutting down a massive oak tree in one stroke, producing a great shockwave.
As part of Lancer's inventory, it could be called an Anti-Foliage Mystic Code specialized in annihilating plant-based enemies.

Noble Phantasm

O Tannenbaum~Christ Child's Thunderous Fir Tree (B+, Anti-Unit, Support)

The first Christmas tree in history brandished as a seemingly unwieldy spear. Upon cutting down Donar's Oak, a massive tree sacred to Thor,
a small fir sprouted and was grown to maturity by Lancer. In typical Catholic fashion, Lancer assimilated the pagan practice of sacred groves
to help with the conversion of the German tribes, incorporating the mysticism of evergreens to make them a representation of the Trinity,
with the stars and decorations serving as symbols of Heaven. Firstly, the golden star at the tip of the tree serves to make it a holy weapon,
dealing extra damage against evil heathens. Secondly, since it was grown from an oak sacred to Thor and reinvented as a Catholic symbol,
it gives Lancer some of Thor's qualities, most notably amplifying his physical parameters and giving him an attack akin to Prana Burst (Thunder
and Lightning), transforming the physically unremarkable saint into the epitome of a muscled German warrior. Finally, the tree can be planted
in the ground to erect a chapel, identical to the one dedicated to Saint Peter made from the remains of Donar's Oak. Inside the chapel, Lancer's
Christmas Gift skill is boosted to be able to give a much more powerful item to whomever comes inside with peaceful intentions, though it is limited
to one per person. Aside from that, the interior is warm and welcoming, filled with good food, drink and company.

Background

Saint Boniface was a missionary appointed by the Pope as the Bishop of Germany, a country that was largely unclaimed by the Catholics.
His evangelism has since elevated him to a national hero of Germany, known as the Apostle of the Germans. Our story, however, concerns
Boniface's famous contribution to Christmas: the inventor of the Christmas tree.

8th century Germanic history can be characterized as a time as savage as it was beautiful, mystical as it was mysterious, and as warm
hearted as it was cold and bitter in a frozen landscape. Pre-Christian pagans inhabited a land shared with numerous gods, nature spirits,
and demons. A common example was the Norse worship of the oak tree; its strong and long burning wood was a sign of the strength of the
spirits that inhabited the oak, and it was often used as a symbol of Odin. When winter brought with it numerous malicious spirits stalking
the wintery forests, the pagan peoples would turn to the aid and magic of any nature spirits that would help them. Plants and trees such as
mistletoe, holly and evergreen were believed to have some special power against the darker magics because they were the only plants that
stayed green throughout the year. During the winter, to shore their homes from malevolent spirits, they would hang wreaths and bushels of
evergreens over their doors and windows. During the Winter Solstice, when winter was at its darkest and the days were the shortest of the
year, civilizations throughout Northern Europe would celebrate and sacrifice to the Norse god, Jul (pronounced and contemporarily recognized
as "Yule."), and celebrate their Yule Tide festival.

Boniface, upon arriving in Germany, was quickly set aback by the pagan rituals of polytheism, nature worship, and human sacrifice. While
many people readily accepted Catholicism, there were still some hardened tribes that even proved violently hostile in their resistance to
Catholic missionaries. Instead of usurping the pagan faith completely with Catholicism, Boniface chose to shift their focus and adopted
the more desirable pagan beliefs and customs himself.

While staying in the village of Geismar, Boniface came upon the annual gathering around a massive oak tree, known as Donar's Oak or the
Thunder Oak, dedicated to Thor. The event centered on a human sacrifice, usually a child, to appease Thor and earn his protection. He was
able to stop the village elder's sword with his trusty axe just in time, and in one swing chopped down the oak. Now that the oak was gone,
a small fir tree was now visible, growing from its roots. Boniface pointed at the fir, saying, "This humble tree's wood is used to build
your homes: let Christ be at the centre of your households. Its leaves remain evergreen in the darkest days: let Christ be your constant
light. Its boughs reach out to embrace and its top points to heaven: let Christ be your comfort and guide."

Thus Saint Boniface helped incorporate the Yule Tide trees and evergreens of the Germanic Winter Solstice into the Roman's "Christ's Mass".

"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your color!
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your color!"

Skills

Class Skills:
Riding (A)- All vehicles and all creatures up to the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind. Rider is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse but he has embraced the Christmas spirit thus changing him. The red horse that Rider usually uses as a mount has been attached to a crimson open sleigh that has ice and snow follow wherever it goes.

Magic Resistance (C)- Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.

Personal Skills:
Battle Continuation (A+)- Can continue fighting even with wounds that place them on the verge of death. An ability representing the strong will to stay alive on the battlefield so that they can one day return home to their family for one last Christmas. Rider's possession of this skill allows him to survive fatal wounds for so long as the fight persists though once combat is over Rider will succumb to any fatal wounds received during the fight.

Instinct (B)- Through this ability, it is possible to halve the penalties inflicted by visual and auditory interference. Rider's original version had this at A+ rank due to being the Horseman of the Apocalypse associated with War but that rank has gone down in the form though Rider's history of fighting in every war in Human history has allowed him great instinct when in a fight.

Christmas Decoration Danger (A+)- a Skill that determines how much one can create a disaster when decorating for Christmas. Rider's extremely close connection to war and tendency to spread it in his normal form means that there is an element of danger when decorating to the point that if left unsupervised while decorating an area could look like the North Pole was preparing for a war. Apparently the effect of this skill translates into Rider assuming that missiles would make for great Christmas trees and "If you can't blind someone from three miles away with your Christmas lights then you will need more."

Noble Phantasms

The Christmas Truce- The 1914 Miracle on the Western Front (Anti-Army, A) Rider is usually a symbol of war and the destruction that can come out of it but even in times of war there is moments of peace. This Noble Phantasm allows Rider to alter the flow of a battle by dragging the combatants into a reality marble recreating the western front of World War I in the year 1914. The reality marble radiates a calming and peaceful aura that pressures the combatants into ending their aggression and enjoy this time of peace before being ejected from the reality marble and continuing hostilities. Should someone "break the peace" within the marble then Rider is fully capable of recreating the hell that was the Western Front's "No Man's Land" by having hundreds if not thousands of guns and cannons fire down upon those that Rider brought into the reality marble. Should and individual leave "No Man's Land" by reaching one of the trenches and dropping within then they will find themselves outside of the Reality Marble as said marble only replicates No Man's Land along the Western Front of WWI.

The Instruments of War- Arsenal of the Eternal Soldier (Anti-Unit, C) This noble phantasm operates in the same way that it does in his normal form though at a weaker rank therefore making the weapons weaker than they would be normally in his hands. Rider has fought in every war that has been and as such is capable of changing his weapons as needed to match any that have been used by soldiers in the past. Even though War is often depicted with a sword in hand, he can transform his knife into any historical model of weapon with a blade so long as that weapon isn't already a noble phantasm. Just as Rider's knife can transform into any bladed weapon as needed, Rider's rifle can also transform into any model of ranged weapon that was used by infantry in past wars.

Lore/Personality/Relationships

Lore:
Rider is the Horseman of the Apocalypse associated with War though he has entered a changed state to commemorate the holidays. This Christmas version of War isn't as bloodthirsty as his regular self but is much more subdued and peaceful than the other version is for the rest of the year. The reason that War has changed so much is that instead of being the personification of war and the destruction that it brings, he represents the sad truth that so many soldiers are unable to spend what could very well be their last Christmas with their family as well as the international treatment of Christmas day being a day of peace during some wars.

Usually War can be summoned and take the appearance of any soldier from any previous era but this holiday version seems to have the appearance of a World War I era British soldier as his default due to how impactful the Christmas Truce of 1914 was in one of the largest wars in human history. On that day over 100,000 soldiers belonging to the British, French, and German armies not only yelled Christmas greetings to one another from across No Man's Land but they exchanged prisoners, traded gifts, shared food, and even played soccer as if the Great War did not exist. This day of peace in of the the largest wars in history left an impact on War and created this version of War.

War has spent every December since 1914 watching over soldiers when he could and would disguise himself as anonymous soldiers to help defend those who might not be able to spend another Christmas with their families back home. If War is not on the front lines of a war attempting to preserve life instead of taking it, he can often be found during the holiday season visiting graveyards full of deceased veterans and placing wreaths upon those graves who will not be visited by their family that year.

When in a festive mood however, it is best to say that War should never be allowed near Christmas decorations unless you want to create a hazardous area likely to accidentally kill someone despite War's best intentions.

Personality:
"These fallen men and women have no one to miss them this holiday season so I will mourn for them, that way they won't be completely forgotten this Christmas."

This version of War as stated above is more somber and peaceful than his normal self almost as if he went from being a warmonger to an old soldier who knows that war is hell especially for families. While this form of War seems to be opposed to his position he is in fact still loyal to the role he has to play as he sees War as a necessary evil for there is growth in the destruction left behind by war. Those that survive wars are more likely to develop closer bonds with others after realizing how quickly love ones can be lost during a war, especially during the holiday season.

War as stated above often visits graves of fallen soldiers when he has free time and leave a Christmas wreath on the ones that will have no one else visit them and he feels partially guilty for them no longer being alive due to his role as the Horseman of War. While War does feel sadness towards the fate of the fallen soldiers and those that won't be able to be with their family, War is aware that Christmas is a time to be merry and happy so that is what he tries to be.

In an attempt to be more in the festive mood, War purposely changed the horse he normally rides into a crimson open sleigh and is known to hum Jingle Bells at random though he would never admit that it is the only Christmas song that he remembers the lyrics to. As the embodiment of war, War isn't exactly the best person to go to when it comes to decorating for Christmas. War was restricted to only being able to work with wreathes after he tried to use a live missile as a Christmas Tree and strung up enough lights to cause Chaldea to lose power for an hour as multiple generators suffered heavy damage due to being overloaded.

Relationships:
"Santa is a role reserved for those who know how to give gifts to other people, I take much more than I can ever be able to give."

War is often apologetic to the other servants that were separated from their families due to fighting in wars and feels sadness for those that died on the battlefield. While this version of War is more serious and regretful of his actions, he does try to be festive and spread some of the festiveness of the season to others. Recently War was noted to have somehow managed to sneak into the main archery and firing range in Chaldea and placed wreathes around all the targets. After the accident involving the Christmas lights a few servants who like to watch movies have given War the nickname of "Griswold" after he reminded them of Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with the lights stunt. In Chaldea his decoration privileges have been limited but he is willing to listen to the orders of other festive people in a pursuit of redirecting attention towards the holiday and away from any conflicts or wars.

Anyone that War was hostile towards or had rivalries with will often find War trying to reconcile the relationship in the name of Christmas. War wholeheartedly believes that Christmas is a time of truces and peace with hostilities being able to wait until after Christmas passes. Peace is not possible without war and war without peace is hell for everyone.

Creator Notes

I was honestly stumped for a while on what to do for a servant for this competiton and I decided to try something out of left field: make a Christmas version of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I decided to go with War after I noticed a picture on Facebook talking about the sacrifice made by soldiers deployed overseas and how some families won't be able to spend Christmas with a loved one due to them being deployed or having recently died serving their country. That gave me the idea of making a version of War that would focus more on a soldier that feels like war is a necessity but is regretful of just how costly it can be especially around the holiday season. I was reminded of the Christmas Truce of 1914 and decided to try and find a way to incorporate that into the Character somehow which was how the reality marble noble phantasm came into existence.

I figured since Jingle Bells is one of the most famous Christmas songs out there I guessed I would incorporate part of that into this version of one of the "Horsemen of the Apocalypse" or rather "Horseman of Christmas." You know something isn't right if somehow War himself is attempting to spread Christmas cheer instead of getting everyone involved in some kind of war. Death is probably taking a side job as the Ghost of Christmas Future but I have no idea about the other two.

I noticed this was a somewhat sad character so I decided to try and come up with something humorous which was how the Christmas Decoration Danger skill came to be. I figured that while he might be a saddening character concerning his normal Horseman of War self, somehow being a disaster decorator thanks to his connection to war could be slightly humorous quirk. Imagine you let this guy decorate a single room and suddenly it looks like an arsenal of weapons that Santa and his elves would use.

Overall I hope you guys enjoyed this sheet and best of luck to everyone in this battle of the Christmas servants.

[Funderfullness]

The Truce is my favorite story from WW1. Really cool idea. When I started reading the RM description I half-expected its effect to be forcing Servants to settle their differences with a friendly game of football.

I am glad you liked it and well the soccer thing could occur if a soccer ball is found within the marble though War can't keep people in there indefinitely. I was hoping to replicate both the peace that occurred on that Christmas day as well as how deadly No Man's Land can become should the sacred peace be broken.

Noble Phantasms

Star of Bethlehem

The Time of Our Lord has Come

- Anti-Army, Rank A

The miraculous sign that marked the birth of Christ and lead the Three Wise Kings towards Him. A star above Bethlehem that shone brightest than all others during the Nativity of Jesus, an event that forever changed the world, and is nowadays used to separate eras.

Jesus is able to evoke His star once more, for a total of 7 days, to shine above a location. Serving as a reminder of the beginning of a new era, the presence of the Star of Bethlehem weakens all Servants whose legends are set prior to 1 AD, reducing their parameters and weakening their Noble Phantasms as they struggle to outshine His story. Rather than Magic Resistance or Luck, the only way to resist this effect is through fame - possessing a legend that managed to survive the birth of the Messiah and is still well known in modern times.

Star of Bethlehem

Apsinthion Prototype

- Anti-Army, Anti-Country Rank A+

Borrowing some of the power of His other Ruler form, Christ repurposes His Noble Phantasm to deliver punishment to those who have been naughty throughout the year, by establishing a link between the Star of Bethlehem, which signified the beginning of a new age, and Wormwood, the Star of Apocalypse that signifies the end of times.

During the time in which it remains in the sky, the Star of Bethlehem can be made to fall to the Earth as a weapon of mass destruction, releasing all of its remaning brilliance as a destructive explosion capable of razing an entire town; the less time it has been active, the more powerful is the detonation. As it is meant to punish the wicked and sinful, additional damage is dealt to those of Evil Alignment.

Afterwards, the area on which the star fell is temporarily transformed into an uninhabitable hell: the earth burns while covered in hail, water turns to blood and the skies turn dark; a "preview" of the Apocalypse and the woes that await the sinful. Once a total of seven days have passed since the Star was first activated, the area returns to normal, and all traces of this dark future vanish again. This secondary effect serves mostly to warn those that are straying from the right path, or so He claims.


Lore & Personality

Spoiler:

Likes: Playing with other kids, praise, His Father, cats
Dislikes: Teachers
Talents: Leaving people amazed
Natural enemy: Chiron

Christkindl is a traditional Christmas gift-bringer in several countries. His identity is none other than Jesus Christ Himself, the Savior of Mankind and Messiah of Christians. Promoted by Martin Luther, this form of the Son was intended to increase His popularity among children, reminding them why they celebrate the date.

However, as the name implies, Jesus does not appear in His more famous, adult form, nor as the baby on the nativity scene, but as a child, a period of which the canonical Bible tells little, but that has been recorded in Apocryphal texts of Thomas and Matthew. Even at such a young age He displayed knowledge and wisdom beyond that of mortal humans, and performed countless miracles that drew the attention and adoration of others.

And yet, He was still a child. He enjoying playing with His friends, He liked animals and pets, He *adored* receiving praise from adults, and He was quick to anger. More than one person was on the receiving end of a death curse for offending Him, although He ultimately resurrected those who He struck dead. While there are no doubts about His kindness and good intentions, His quick temper and pride can make Him somewhat difficult to approach.

The role of present-bringer is one of the two He can assume as a Ruler. Rather than arbitrating over Servants participating in a Grail War, he is the judge of all children in the world, deciding who was naughty and who was nice and delivering the appropriate presents to them. "All children in the world" happens to extend to every single

Child of God

human

, including Servants.

While He holds no wish for that "phony Grail", He does have a wish of his own. Afterall, what sort of child does not want to receive gifts during their Birthday?

STR: E

AGI: D
MGI: B+
LCK: A

Class Skills

Territory Creation (C+): Caster is able to make a building into her Workshop simply by picking a prominent location and
building a Nativity Scene, the most traditional and important Christmas decoration. It depicts the Holy Family surrounded
by angels, shepherds, magi and animals. The final piece, the baby Jesus, is left until the last moment on Christmas Eve.
Also present in Caster's Nativity are a few Mexican twists including cacti and turkeys, women making tortillas, and even
the figure of Lucifer hiding in the shadows. There is no limit to how large and elaborate the Scene can be; it can stretch
to depict multiple landscapes and entire villages, seemingly making the building much larger on the inside.

Item Construction (D): Capable of making ceramics, painting, weaving and cultivating plants. This skill is vital to the
establishment of her Territory, as its power depends on the size and complexity of the Nativity Scene that she constructs.
Caster is also a wonderful cook, setting up feasts and drinks for the holiday parties to come.

Personal Skills

Affections of the Archangels (B): Affection and protection from the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, who stood on the either side
of the Virgin Mary during the Nativity to witness the birth of Christ. They are the ones who appeared to the poor Caster and gave
her the greatest gift of all that has permeated Mexican and American culture for centuries afterward. MGI and LCK are ranked up.

Guiding Light (A+): The "lighting of the beacon" to give allies a safe journey. The traditional Mexican pastorela or "shepherd's
play" depicts all the characters, Mary and Joseph, the Magi, the Shepherds and the Angels journeying to Bethlehem. But on the
way, they are plagued by the Devil trying to keep them from arriving. They all triumph and arrive by following the light of the
Christmas Star. It is a skill that wards off misfortune from Caster's allies as long as their bond lasts, no matter the distance.
However, Caster's enemies will be hampered by the figure of Lucifer in the Nativity scene, leaving them hopelessly lost unless
they possess high LCK or skills that assist in tracking and navigation.

Christmas Saint (EX): The skill that allows Caster to manifest as an aspect of the Lady of Guadalupe, the title given to the Virgin
Mary depcited in the holy painting in Mexico City. Said to be created by God Himself, the Virgin is the patron saint of Mexico.
Caster recieving the blessing of the archangels allows her to also recieve the blessing of the Virgin, as Mexican Christmas is
kicked off with nine days of celebrations honoring Mexico's patroness. The most important event is a pilgrimage to Mexico City,
with people coming to pay respects, regardless of race or class (for example, hundreds of Japanese-Mexicans make the pilgrimage
in traditional kimonos). As the newly christened (pun intended) patron saint of Mexican Christmas, Caster's power will cresecndo
as Christmas Eve approaches. The celebrations will not end, the food and drink will never run out and no evil will stop her.

Noble Phantasms

Pinata Breaker~Smashing of the Hoarding Devil (D+, Anti-Unit)

A simple wooden stick used to smash a pinata shaped like a seven-pointed star. The star represents Satan who has all the goods of
the world, decorated to attract people, the seven points representing the seven cardinal sins. The stick represents the Christian faith
to defeat evil and release the treasure for all. As Caster's staff, it deals massive damage to Evil-aligned enemies, and siphons off
prana and valuable treasure (read: increases rare item drop rate) from those stuck by it.

Flores de Noche Buena~Flaming Red Stars of the Holy Night (C+, Support)

Known today as the poinsettia, this flower is ubiquitous in Christmas displays all over the world. Originating in Mexico and created
by Caster's childish gift to the baby Jesus. These crimson blossoms cemented themselves in Christmas decorations due to their star-
shaped petals, symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem and their red color representing the sacrifice of Christ. Caster's mere presence is
enough to cause poinsettias to rapidly grow everywhere in sight. The flowers have two functions: to absorb sunlight via photosynthesis
and convert it into prana, and to apply a blessing of damage reduction to Caster and any nearby allies. This quality comes from the
Virgin of Guadalupe's famed ability to resist damage, from simple dust, soot, common wear and tear to even acid and bombs.

La Villa~Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe (A+, Support)

A transformation of Caster's Territory into a grand cathedral. While Caster's power increases as Christmas approaches, her basilica
can only be manifested once the figure of the baby Jesus is placed in the manger at the center of the Nativity Scene. It is within this
church where, for twenty-four hours, Caster becomes the true embodiment of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Patroness of the Americas,
Empress of Latin America and the Protectress of Children. Clothed with the Holy Shroud of Juan Diego, surrounded by red poinsettias
and accompanied by a joyous choir, Caster is all but invincible thanks to the perpetual adoration of Mexican Catholics and the spirit
of Christmas. Under Caster's protection, her allies may eat, drink and be merry to their heart's content, with no fear of molestation.

Background

The legend of the poinsettia flower is a sweet story of a young girl and her love for the Lord. A long time in Mexico, generally agreed
to be the 16th century, there lived a girl named Maria. Every year at Christmas, the local church set up a Nativity Scene. On Christmas
Day, the villagers were led by the head priest in a procession that would see the baby Jesus to his place in the manger, and the party
would commence. Everyone was to bring a gift for the Christchild, and Maria's family was tasked with bringing the baby's blanket. But
misfortune struck; Maria's mother fell ill and her father was injured, so they could not afford a blanket nor weave one themselves.

Maria hid from the church's procession in shame, convinced that Christmas was ruined. As she was weeping off the road, an angel, usually
identified as Michael or Gabriel, came to her and said, "All you have to do is gather what is at your feet." Maria diligently gathered weeds
from the roadside and walked into the church to place them near the crib. The other children jeered and mocked her, and the adults looked
on with pity. As the priest laid the baby in the manger, however, a miracle occurred; the green weeds turned into beautiful crimson star-
shaped flowers. The villagers realized that a gift did not have to be expensive; it must be given from the heart to be accepted by the Lord.
Since that night, the poinsettia flowers have been called, 'Flores de Noche Buena', meaning 'Flowers of the Holy Night'.

The first US Ambassador to Mexico was Joel Robert Poinsett, who decided to bring some of the beautiful flowers back to his greenhouse in
South Carolina, where he gave them as gifts to family, friends and other botanists. Because of this, his name has been attached to the
poinsettia, since he was the one to popularize them in America. The day of his death, December 12, 1851 was declared National Poinsettia
Day in the United States. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), December 12 is also the Feast Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe. In Mexico, the
poinsettias fill the streets on display as tens of thousands of people travel to Mexico City to visit the place where the Virign Mary
appeared to the Mexican people.

The fusion of these three Phantoms, Maria, Joel and Mary haved come together to form the Caster Servant before you, calling herself
Maria Poinsett, the patroness of Mexican Christmas. Crimson petals trail behind this classic Hispanic beauty wherever she goes. The
small part of her that loves America is where she got the idea for her Santa costume. She is a lover of all who protect and maintain
the peace, and to her allies she is a fierce defender, a beacon of inspiration and an impeccable hostess. Feliz Navidad, mis amigos!

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: A+
Grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.
Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. Furthermore; offensive magic that targets Rider's person is automatically rejected, while protective charms and healing effects have their potency doubled.

Riding: -
Denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding.
Perhaps because his existence is closer to that of a mount than the rider, his Riding Skill has been sealed in order to increase the effectiveness of his more animistic abilities.

"To be fair, when did you last see an animal ride another animal?"

Personal Skills:

Animal Dialogue (Man): B
communication of intention with animals that do not speak a 'language of words'. In the case of Rider as a beast himself, inversion of the effects occurs in this exceedingly rare case. Rider possesses an intellect that equates typical humans. He possesses perfect grasp of conversational skills though not to the depths of a mastermind who is a master of diplomacy, inspiration, intimidation, etc. Unfortunately he is only limited to a childlike vocabulary due to the…

Curse of Commercialism: E
A skill similar to Innocent Monster that warps the servant dependent on modern view and portrayal. Nowadays even the most famous heroes are not believed to have existed, while Rider is still believed in by children across the world and that Santa gifts them every year and as such is very vulnerable to the whims of the people.
His physical appearance has become that of a mascot. This skill only affects the appearance of Rider and not his physical prowess or abilities as of yet.

"At least I'm not as bad as that poor Orion guy. Who thought that was a good idea?!"

Divinity: C
The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defence" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. It can break through Skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig.
Much like how the tales of Santa Clause interweave aspects of the Allfather Odin into her legend, Rider is a cultural descendent of that Gods Divine Stallion, Slepnir.

Monstrous Strength: B
A Skill that temporarily grants a rank-up to one's Strength parameter for a time limit determined by the ranking of this Skill. This Skill is borne from the holder's nature as a monster or Demonic Beast.
As a natural beast, he possesses rather wild power and absolute high spirits of youth!!

Won’t You Guide My Sleigh Tonight?

Type: Anti-World Oi, don't nerf my profile! Anti-Army
Rank: B+++
Range: 1 Celestial Body
Maximum Targets: 1,900,000,000

The manifestation of the legend of Rider, his nose. Simply put, he can make his nose shine red and glow in the dark. Cute, right?
Wrong, it’s not cute. It’s cool! Rudolf has a shining nose that is a crystallised self generating core of mana, or true ether or something. Honestly no one knows what or why but it glows but it does. And all that energy needs to go somewhere. This accumulated energy can be overclocked and released in a large beam of energy that shines to the end of the earth and guides the way to the future!

“Hey! That’s a legit part of my legend, I’m not stealing flavour text from Rhongominiad!!”

Lore & Character

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, popularly known as "Santa's ninth reindeer. Rudolph is usually depicted as the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve, though he is a young fawn who has only adolescent antlers and a glowing red nose. The story chronicles the experiences of Rudolph, a youthful reindeer buck who possesses an unusual luminous red nose. Mocked and excluded by his peers because of this trait, Rudolph proves himself one Christmas Eve with poor visibility due to inclement weather after Santa Claus catches sight of Rudolph's nose and asks Rudolph to lead her sleigh for the evening. Rudolph agrees, and is finally favoured by his fellow reindeer for his heroism and accomplishment.

Truly an incredible and heart rendering story that will capture the hearts of all man with a song.

Much like the ‘Animal Helper’ in western fairy tales, he is quite playful and childish and at a disposition to help out his Master, he only gained a superior sentience after being summoned as a servant so aside from youthful innocence and mighty curiosity he doesn’t really have much of a personality. As a result he is highly dependent on others for his growth and while will keep his basic traits, his mannerisms and core values will reflect those he imprints on.

His master must be careful for they have been laden with the responsibility of caring for an emotional and overbearing child.

Creators Notes:I know there's a snowballs chance in hell this one will win but after doing Santa last year, I was contractually obliged to make Rudolf. Stay tuned as next year I make Jeanne d'Arc as the Easter Bunny.

Class Skill:
Item Construction EX - because of his identity as the origin of Santa Claus and derivative figures, Nikolaos has this skill at A+, but only being capable of making toys, with but a bit of magic properties, but in obscene amounts and at an inhuman pace.

Spoiler:

His other half of course also has this skill at a very high ranking due to him being able to craft even itens able of using the second sorcery’s power. The combination of both entities results in a skill that surpasses any quantification, making it possible to manufacture more than enough items of power rivaling that of even high rank Noble Phantasms.

Territory Creation B - Both of Caster’s halfs were competent enough in their own specialties to create and maintain a Workshop. As neither of the two has anything that would add much to the other’s variation of the skill, the resulting combination display no higher rank than either of the halfs’.

Personal Skill:
Divinity E - As a canonized saint, Nikolaos does have some level of divinity, however, Caster does not display it as prominently as fellow saints,

Spoiler:

a result his state as a pseudo-servant born from a Dead Apostle perhaps?

Nicene Creed B - “But those who say: 'There was a time when he was not;' and 'He was not before he was made;' and 'He was made out of nothing,' or 'He is of another substance' or 'essence,' or 'The Son of God is created,' or 'changeable,' or 'alterable'— they are condemned by the holy catholic and apostolic Church”.
This skill denotes Nikolaos being present at the Council of Nicaea when the faith in Christ’s divinity was established as a doctrine. It’s effects come down to inducing a rank down to all parameters of any enemy that denies Christian faith. The enemy is given a Magic Resistance check to resist each parameter individually as the effects are, ultimately, a curse.
Additionally, Caster has a secondary effect whenever an enemy explicitly insults Christ or denies his divinity in front of him: Caster undergoes a strength boost and get a bit uncontrollable, but after the fight is ended, he will lose his divinity and this skill for a single day. This effects stems from how Saint Nikolaos punched Arius, an Arian Bishop, in that very same council, being stripped of his bishophood, only to be forgiven later as Jesus gave him back his belongings as a bishop.

Spoiler:

Kaleidoscope A - A skill that represents Caster being able to use the Second Sorcery and it’s effects. It serves also as Infinite Magical Energy Supply skill, since said skill originates from the Second Sorcery to begin with.

Spoiler:

Independent Action EX - By tapping into other realities’ magical energy, Caster can remain indefinitely, even without a master, using powerful magic and NP is not an issue either.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Spoiler:

Christmas Night
Bringing Time to a Halt for the Holy Night

Rank: A+
Type:Anti-Time
Target:Self
Saint Nikolaos ultimate Magecraft as the entity Santa Claus. It’s not a skill he possessed in life, he was not that powerful a magus, but one he was given to properly incarnate the Christmas gift-giver: It has been speculated about how it would be impossible to actualize the feat of giving every single children in the world a gift in the span of a single night, even with the fastest of vehicles and even Phantasmal Species, for Santa Claus to achieve said deed he would not need more speed, but rather, more time, and that is precisely what this magecraft is all about: it accelerates Santa’s own time so that the world around seems to move slowly, allowing for Santa to move freely. Still, there is something unusual in this Noble Phantasm: normally, it would only be accessible for Nicholas in *Santa* form, much like a certain knight only has her adorned golden sword whilst in *Lily* form, furthermore, it would only be usable during the Christmas Night(Great Ritual). It is his other half that allows for this to happen: Due to his power over the Second Magic, Zelretch makes it possible to use this NP at any given time, furthermore, the effect and rank are sharply enhanced, allowing for even complete time stop, albeit only for the period of perceived 1 day at most, he may however still only slow time down for a much longer perceived period.

Lore:

Spoiler:

Caster true name is that of Saint Nikolaos, one of the original members of the roman christian clergy and origin of the infamous legend of Santa Claus. Originally, he barely had enough fame and feats to become a Heroic Spirit, but as his legend grew and he was changed into the figure of the incredibly powerful and famous gift-giver, he was enhanced to an inhuman extent, however, unless summoned as a Santa Servant, he reflects little of that power.
As the roman Bishop, Saint Nikolaos was recognized for vast humbleness and kindness, going as far as arbitrarily gifting the poor with money and food, as well as giving children toys, behaviour that ultimately gave birth to the legend of the Gift-giving old man, his name being bastardized into SinterKlass and then into Santa Claus. He was also dubbed a WonderWorker as he had allegedly performed miracles, a feat that would be crystallized into the Skill Miracles into the Ruler Class, but instead is only represented in the form of his NP under the Caster Class, as it is the greatest miracle he ever performed in legends.
He would usually be summoned into the Ruler Class and as a Santa as one who judges those worthy of a gift and tells apart the naughty from the nice and wouldn’t really enjoy joining a war, but as humanity approaches ultimate peril and the hopes of the innocent is under great danger, even the kind saint would take up arms and fight to protect humanity, but as he is far too unfit for combat, and aware of that even, he needed a little help for a more… experienced individual, and among all possible vessels, one had a particular compatibility to the powers of Santa Claus: Zelretch, user of the Second Sorcery that allows for bending and interfering with both time and space, from that union rose a Pseudo-Servant whose only fitting Class to express Nikolas newfound powers is that Caster, and as such he came to be summoned, the compatibility allowing him to maintain a few of Santa’s power despite not quite being a Santa servant, and Zelretch’s experience permitting him to fight even the strongest of enemies.
It should be noted that the union was something Zelretch agreed with, to “pass time” and “have some fun” according to him, but he lends the full control of the union to Nikolaos because “it would be better to let a Saint deal with the Evils of Humanity”, contributing only with his own powers and experience.

Personality:

Spoiler:

Caster, for the most part, is a kind person and servile towards a good intentioned master, he also displays respect for fellow servants, especially those of christian religion and even more for fellow saints. As for those of wretched personalities he himself believes to be evil and heretical, he shows contempt and might even insult if given a reason, he may still hold back for those of heretical beliefs, as long as they do not publicly insult his own faith, but will have a hard time having to work with them towards the same goal. He is against vulgarity and “unclean” relationships as well as reprimanding others for their untraditional behavior, he is, in the end, a religious old man.
He regrets the most having become a dead apostle from his union.
“How was i supposed to know? I only did become a damned Vampire after being summoned!!”
“I do not look like the Zelretch you know of? Well he IS able to travel through parallel worlds isn’t he? Why do you think he wasn’t a Vampire before being summoned here? As for the beard, that is not his, it’s mine, can’t have Santa without his beard you know.”

I have been preparing myself for a long time for this theme, had written down both this idea and ruler santa in a very minimalistic version to post in the forum when Christmas came, and since it did become the theme for the contest... i honestly would have developed ruler santa instead, but since a gift-giving santa came before myself...

It's not unusual to have a lull in posting; I've noticed the most posts come at the beginning and end of the contest period. But yeah, it's a bit of a harder prompt than the previous ones.

Class Skills

Presence Concealment (D): The capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. It is a common Class Skill of the Assassin class. Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. A low ranking of Presence Concealment unbecoming for an Assassin to the level that a Servant can infer one's presence at once. Although he is in the Assassin class, the act of assassination is near impossible for him.

Personal Skills

Golden Rule (A-): A Skill that refers to the measurement of one's fortune to acquire wealth. As one who most of his life in the pursuit of gathering as much wealth as possible, it is only natural that Assassin has a naturally high rank in this skill, however due to him being a more profligate spender than he was in the past has reduced the power of this Skill a little.

Sinner’s Chastisement (A): The counterpart of the Saint’s Gift skill, this is the ability of a Krampus to punish the wicked at Christmastime. With just a glance, one’s sins are appraised and an appropriate punishment is devised. Though painful and humiliating, the punishments are quite lenient, formed as they are with the sentiment “Learn your lesson and don’t do it again”. When paired with his Noble Phantasm, this is quite the redundant skill, but it is one that every good Krampus must have.

Noble Phantasm

Three Spirits

What Was, What Is, What Shall Be

Anti-Unit, B: The curse that overtook Ebenezer Scrooge on the night of Christmas Eve, the haunting of his sleep and his mind by four ghosts, that of his old partner Jacob Marley and the three Spirits of Christmas. It is the latter three, summoned alongside Scrooge that now serve as his Noble Phantasm, cursing someone with cruel visions depicting the past, present, and future, designed to force them to admit their wrongdoings and atone for their actions. Across the span of a single night, each Spirit materializes themselves, creating an impenetrable Bounded Field around their target, projecting illusions within. Between the fields appearing and collapsing, no time will pass for those outside.

The Ghost of Christmas Past – The first of the three, appearing as a robed, androgynous, shapeless figure “a thing with one arm, now with one leg, now with twenty legs, now a pair of legs without a head, now a head without a body: of which dissolving parts, no outline would be visible in the dense gloom wherein they melted away.” Christmas Past is designed to pull out and probe all the most painful and upsetting memories a person, to reveal to them the reasons for their behaviour in an attempt to get them to move on from their past pain. Naturally the most effective of the three against Heroic Spirits.

The Ghost of Christmas Present – The second of three, appearing as a large man not unlike the traditional Santa, surrounded by a rich feast. His role is to reveal the state of the world in the present, to reveal all the suffering and misery caused by a dearth of compassion and indifference of those who could make a difference, and to reveal the ongoing consequences of the target’s actions in the present day.

The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come – The last of the three, appearing as a shapeless figure in a black robe. Unlike the other two, it is utterly silent. It calculates possibilities of what may be, and shows visions of the possible future if the spirits’ warnings are ignored. Unlike the other two spirits, it is unable to show the truth, as is the nature of the future.

Together, though well intentioned, the spirits represent a terrible psychological assault, uncovering past traumas, exposing the present world’s ugliness, and revealing futures filled only with painful fates. If the target succumbs to the torment, they undergo a ‘change of heart’, becoming remorseful and repentant. Should this ability ‘fail’, and the target fails to change, then the future that showed their death becomes fixed, their life is accelerated to its end, and chains surround them and drag them into Hell, in an unavoidable instant death attack. Thus, paradoxically, it could be said that the failure of this attack is the favourable outcome.

True Name: Ebenezer Scrooge

Talents: Grumpiness
Natural Enemy: Gilgamesh

The Charitable Assassin is, naturally, Ebenezer Scrooge, the protagonist of one of the most famous stories in English, A Christmas Carol. A cruel and miserly old man who learned the values of charity and kindness after a certain haunting. One of the most popular and famous Christmas stories of all time.

As a Servant, Scrooge is not a Santa, but rather an ‘anti-Santa’, along the lines of the Krampus. Rather than rewarding good children with gifts, the Krampus doles out punishments to those who have been naughty and don’t deserve gifts. This Scrooge is from the end of his tale after he underwent his change of heart. Thus he is a kindly and charitable old man, however in his role as Krampus he takes a somewhat perverse delight in doling out punishments. He despises the cheap sentiment and empty greed of modern Christmas and his wish is for all those who celebrate Christmas to suffer the haunting of his spirits.

Lore:
It is said that Marie Antoinette had many interests. Fashion, theatre, music, gardening, design, and so on. But one held dearly to her heart was riding, in particular the sleigh rides common to the northern courts and her home country of Austria. Back home, she had frequently been a party to sleighing-parties given by her mother and other Austrian nobles, and she regarded them with a particular fondness.

In 1776, during a particularly severe winter, Paris was blanketed in powdery white snow, and it is said the young queen hesitantly, delicately, hopefully entertained a fleeting, nostalgic wish to introduce the Austrian trend to her new home. By luck and circumstance, a number of sleighs had been found in the stables of the palace, and the King had several more constructed for Marie, with other princes and princesses following suit to obtain their own.

For a single winter, the streets of France were flush with drawn sleighs and beautiful song, harnessed with pedigree steed and ringing with bells. Elaborately decorated with elegant plumes and ornamental gild, the unusual sight of a sleigh traveling through the parks and roadways of Paris brought delight both to riders and spectators. It is said that the rides were so charming that the Queen and her companions extended their trips as far as the Champs Elysees and accompanying boulevards.

No one in the court believed that the queen could be blamed for so innocent an amusement. But already her enemies and detractors twisted her every action against her. "The queen traversed the streets of Paris in an Austrian sleigh." It was not long before her sleigh rides in the snow were contrasted against the homeless and destitute freezing in the streets, drawing scorn and criticism to the throne.

When word of the political reaction to her trips reached the Queen, her reaction was swift. On her command, despite the cost that had went into renovating it and the joy it had brought, her beloved sleighs were immediately preserved and put in storage where they would stay for the rest of her time in France. No matter how appropriate the weather, never again would the Queen of France allow herself to resume this one childhood amusement or to celebrate Christmas in the ways of her home.

A memory of her youth, of Austria, of the girl she had once been and would never be allowed to revisit.
An Alter Ego whose greatest sin was wanting a shard of happiness all her own.

----After all, happiness is to the people.

Class Skills:
Christmas Love MAX
Rank: EX
An id_es evolved from Saint's Gift. Originally a skill that enriched hearts by giving presents, as an Alter Ego, Snowflower is able to directly grant happiness simply through her very presence. Within a limited area-of-effect, no matter how abrasive or incompatible the personality, Snow Flower's very presence brings health, cheer, and good will. Disregarding the very concept of affection points, a cheat skill that seeks out the max value automatically.

Personal Skills:
Alluring Nightingale
Rank: A
A mesmerizing skil possessed by those with a beautiful natural voice as well as a declaration of the exercise of power by royalty. A charm magecraft-like effect towards those of the opposite sex, evasive is possible by means of a Magic Resistance skill, but one can abate it to some extent as long as he or she maintains the will to resist. Combined with the bells of her sleigh and the music of a good-for-nothing itinerant composer, the rank of this skill is greatly bolstered over her original, providing a powerful and lovely acoustic attack.

Princess of Loveliness (Snow)
Rank: A+
A Skill representing one's charismatic nature in regards not to leadership, but the ability to charm the people around oneself, particularly in the snow. At this rank, simply by existing, Alter Ego may obtain devoted attendants and drivers simply by existing. In particular, if they are in her vicinity, it is a practical certainty she will obtain the existence of a cute spy, a dirty composer, and a moody noble as part of her holiday attachés.

Pathetic Constitution
Rank B+
A Skill that forces the pathetic nature of the bearer outwards, with all the repercussions of such. The heavy weight of an individual’s tragedy is often too much for a stranger to bear, ignoring the bearer to salvage their own sanity and conscience, however selfishly. However, those that face the bearer’s pathetic nature are compelled to help. In layman’s terms, it is a “moe power that even the most evil villain will be forced to acknowledge."

Because she is so outwardly cheerful, the rank of this skill is somewhat reduced, but to those who see through to the bruised heart underneath her radiant smile, it is a weapon of mass destruction against the walls of their heart. In practical terms, she is granted the equivalent of Presence Concealment at rank B, unless a perception check is passed, at which point the pitying effect will take root deep in their subconscious.
(Credit to Express for the skill)

Noble Phantasm(s):
Crystal Sleigh - Precious Memories are Eternal
Type: Barrier
Rank: B
A bounded field in the form of a hand or harness drawn sleigh sized for two, representing the reconstructed sleighs that Marie Antoinette had built on the one occasion she allowed herself to miss her home and youth. Other than manifesting a powerful protection upon its occupants, the sleigh has no offensive capability of its own, and has no effect if not paired with a mount.

Where this Noble Phantasm shines is in its ability to empower the individual or beast who pulls the sleigh. Whether it is pulled by hand or harnessed to a fine beast, whoever helps Snowflower to pull her sleigh has all of their abilities increased by one rank, and are protected by the same defensive power of the sleigh itself. The "armor class" rank of the sleigh and the one who pulls it are raised by at least a hundred, with additional plus modifiers available based on the depth of their commitment to her.

Nostalgia Breaker - Glory to the Christmas Past
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: A
A Noble Phantasm born from the original Noble Phantasm of Marie Antoinette, itself a representation of the glory of the French monarchy. In the case of Snowflower, it instead represents her longing for the Austria of home, a selfish but still beautiful horse made of tempered glass and enclosed with water and flakes of snow. If the true Noble Phantasm of Marie represents the light of her beloved France, this version is filled with the rose-tinted memories of her cast-aside childhood. To look inside the horse is to see all of your fondest memories of Christmas within.

By unleashing its true name, Snowflower may harness the steed to her sleigh, dashing across the battlefield and scattering snow everywhere she passes. The snow is bitter cold and deceptively damaging if direct contact is made, but the sight of it is nevertheless a source of joy and can't help but inspire happy memories of childhood. Those who witness the sight recover health and mana and negative statuses are cancelled out.

[MehKitteh]

Snowflower: Madame, this is amazing, my Marie bias not-withstanding. Alter-Egos are a bit rare here, to my account, so this sheet is by far the best Alter-Ego sheet I've seen (largely because it's the first '-').

... Also, is it true that Marie Antoinette once sleighed in Paris?

[Funderfullness]

There are accounts of it since she took other ladies with her. Also I've been to Versailles and have seen the room full of coaches and carriages and there was a sleigh in there.

Rider is able to tell clearly what gift belongs to who, but due to his excitement, he is quite prone to getting some of the gifts wrong in the end.


Santa's "Noble" Steed (True) A:
“A King is nothing without the mount that leads his charge!”
Horses seemingly flock to Rider and can be used to replace any lost Reindeers.



Noble Phantasm(s):

Sleigh of Promised Victory

Excalisleigh

Rank: C-EX
Type: Anti-Presents
Range: ???
Max Targets: ???
To protect the noble goal of Christmas is the Sleighs true strength, while normally used as a way to transport gifts around the world, if one is to threaten the Joy of those who Believe, Excalisleigh takes on a golden form that streaks through the night.
It is unknown whether or not one can block such an attack, but it has been stated that a being known as Morgrinch has made a hormunculus out of Rider's DNA as to stop the Santa servant's ability to deliver gifts.

The Bell that Jingles in the Night
Calibell

Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: House Wide
Max Targets: 7.6 Billion (Only within the Area)
The bell that always seems to ring when Santa has arrived, it seemingly sends those who hears it into a sleepy state, just so Rider can deliver the gifts he's meant to deliver.
Rider seems to be affected as well, especially when a child stays awake despite hearing the bell, seems even he feels tired despite his near limitless energy.

Those Who Once Served, Return As Those Who Guide
The Reindeer Table

Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Steed
Range: ???
Max Targets: 1
The Knights that once served as Riders strongest return once again in unlikely forms, these forms allow them to lead him to victory once again!
Instead this time, they lead him as Reindeer and fight as not knights but the beings that lead his strongest Sleigh.
God I feel sorry for them.

Lore:
Once seen with fame as the King of Knights, Arthur Pendragon takes on the name of Santa and the class of Rider as to show the world the true meaning of Christmas, but due to the spoken rule that Santa must never be seen, he is unable to show his face to the world and hides himself away in the shadows as he crosses the world delivering gifts.

Alas it seems someone has plans to destroy the newly anointed Santa in the form of his female clone, Mordred! Who would do such a thing to end Christmas!? Obviously Morgrinch, his salty sister who doesn't understand that she just simply sucks as a Santa.



Personality:
Arthur is originally deeply plagued by his desire to save Britain to form an eternal utopia, and even while recognizing Manaka as potentially evil, he follows her commands to fulfill his wish. However, upon meeting Ayaka in the Garden he realizes that his wishes had already been entrusted to the present, and he becomes determined to protect the present over the past. He becomes a father figure and guardian for Ayaka from that point on until the Second War.

He has the sense of values of a matured man, as well as a strong sense of justice. He will bring things that bring virtue and goodness closer, and will ascertain those that bring atrocity. He is the image of a hero one can feel good about.


In Ayaka's eyes, he is the ideal prince in addition to his station as her protector. However, for a brief period his style of speech was mingled with nihilistic mannerisms. Not only that, but he had his bouts of hypocritical courtesy as he would at times tease or make fun of Ayaka.


He is good at eating, but also good at making (cooking). However, due to his experiences with Manaka and the large breakfasts that she makes, he seems to think that big meals are the staple for Japanese people.

In Japanese, the way he refers to himself differs depending on who he talks to. To Ayaka, he uses 'boku'. To his enemies, he uses 'watashi'.

Astonishing words whose veracity cannot be judged even with the help of Chaldea’s system but, at the very least, he won’t spew lies to his Master. He places his wholehearted trust towards his Master. Deception and betrayal are unthinkable.

As he takes up the title as Santa, Arthur becomes more kindhearted, allowing his somewhat child-like interests to take over as he experiences the joy he brings by traversing the world and delivering gifts to all the girls and boys of the world.

That by all means does not mean he isn't serious though, he retains his somewhat kingly personality when faced with a problem he cannot just barrel through.




Relationships:
Morgrinch:
Riders relationship with Morgan Le Fay, or rather Morgrinch as she is called during Christmas is rather strained, she had freely created a female clone of Rider in the attempt of ruining his rain as Santa, solely because she had not been chosen to wear the soft red "Crown".

Mordred:
A clone made from Riders DNA in the hopes of thwarting his chances at being Santa, unlike Morgrinch, Rider seems to hold a slight fondness of Mordred, going as far as to not truly hurt her in battle if he is given the chance.

The Reindeer Table:
Rider does not strain to say how much he enjoys the company of his "Knights", even going as far as to say he understands them completely despite the obvious lack of comprehensible English that they will never be able to speak.



Creator Notes: (Optional)
This was originally in the Create-A-Servant tab until someone told me this existed, so I decided to edit it to fit this place.

I hope this is sufficient, not that knowledgeable on making servants profiles.
