AWAKEN MY RULERS
Assassin of the Labyrinth
Class: Assassin
Alignment: Lawful Good
Title: Prince of Athens/Theseus Lily
True Name: Theseus
Origin: Greek Mythology
Armament: Shortsword and Ariadne’s Thread
Parameters
Strength: C
Endurance: D
Agility: C
Mana: B
Luck: C
Noble Phantasm: C
Class Skills
Presence Concealment: E
A skill that allows the erasure of one’s presence. Theseus is a warrior by nature and used to more upfront confrontations than the fight he had against the Minotaur, resulting in a weak version of this skill.
Independent Action: C
Normally, a skill reserved for the Archer class, Theseus is a prince and future king of Athens in this iteration and will not bow to any Master should he not want to. Or if Ariadne is summoned and he wants to run away.
Personal Skills
Divinity: D
The son of Poseidon as well as the son of Aegeus, king of Athens, a mix of human and god unlike many others, making his divinity weaker than most demigod heroes.
Blessing of the Maiden: A
The princess of Crete, Ariadne, fell in love with the young Athenian on sight with no knowledge of his true identity. With her help, Theseus was able to learn the weaknesses of both the Labyrinth and the Minotaur, allowing him to kill the monster. Even in this modern age, Theseus hears Ariadne whispering lovingly into his ear, telling him his enemies weaknesses. It's really creepy.
Black Sails: B
Upon his return to Athens, Theseus failed to change the black sails of his ship to white, which would have told his father he survived the trial of the Labyrinth. Believing his son had died, King Aegeus threw himself from the cliffs of Athens into the sea, named the Aegean Sea in his honor. Now, Theseus wears this sail upon his back in mourning and a symbol of his folly. The sight of it causes opponents to feel overwhelming grief.
Oathbreaker: C
Theseus, in exchange for her help in defeating the Minotaur and surviving the Labyrinth, promised to marry Ariadne. Clearly, this did not happen. This broken promise symbolizes a moment of betrayal from Theseus that lingers into his servant form. It acts as a pseudo-Magical Resistance to symbolize his denial of the witch princess.
Noble Phantasm
A Dangerous Clue
Minotaurus Fratricide
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
The magical thread Ariadne gifted to Theseus to guide him through the Labyrinth, also known as a clew. Without it, Theseus would have surely perished within the Labyrinth either at the hands of her brother, the Minotaur, or starvation and fatigue from being lost within the maze. Without it, her brother may have lived. Thusly, the clew can be seen as the weapon that killed the Minotaur and acts as such in this form.
Appearing as a simple string bracelet, when its True Name is called, the bracelet will send out threads to wrap around the target, constricting them. The voice of Ariadne will whisper into their ear sweet nothings of sisterly love and compassion as their body crushed by the strings. It is extremely effective against more monstrous foes.
Appearance
A handsome youth with dark hair and eyes the color of the sea. A tattered black cloak wraps around him, forming a heavy cowl over his head. A simple string bracelet hangs around his wrist and a short sword hangs on the belt around his waist. Alongside his sword hangs the bloodstained horn of the minotaur.
Personality
This iteration of Theseus is much more subdued and solemn than any other, still plagued by the grief of his father’s death and taking little happiness in killing the Minotaur. He does not regret slaying the monster, only that such a monster existed in the first place, living only to suffer. To put it simply, this Theseus is in a bit of an emo phase, prone to monologues about life and death in a fashion that makes an old playwright smile. But there is nothing to smile at. The boy has lost the father he had journeyed through many hardships to meet all through his own fault. His world is black. He has his pride as a prince, but still doubts himself and whether he is worthy of such a feeling.
Lore
This iteration of the hero Theseus comes from the legend of the Minotaur and his slaying of the monster, the somber returning prince rather than the proud king. He journeyed to Crete to try and stop the monster from devouring the fourteen children sent each year by slaying the beast. Though his son was a mighty warrior, King Aegeus worried he would not be able to stand against such a creature. Nevertheless, Theseus set out and promised to return, promising he would raise white sails on the ship as they entered the harbor to signal his victory.
With that, Theseus sailed with the other thirteen children and hid amongst them, not wanting to reveal his true identity.
Upon arrival in Crete, Theseus and the children was greeted by King Minos and his daughter, Ariadne. With a single glance, the Cretan princess was charmed, falling head over heels in love with the secret Athenian prince. She confronted him later to make her feelings known and Theseus saw his advantage. He told the princess of his plan to kill the Minotaur and asked for her help. Ariadne was hesitant at first, but with some egging, she agreed to help him.
The next day, as the children were being sent to the Labyrinth, Ariadne was able to slip Theseus a ball of string, telling him it was enchanted and that all he need do is unravel and he would reach the beast to slay it. And so he did.
With the Minotaur now dead, Theseus escaped Crete with the other thirteen Athenian children and Ariadne in tow. As they sailed away, the princess made clear her intentions to marry him. This would've been a fine idea had Theseus loved her. In truth, Theseus cared very little for the princess, unable to disconnect her from her despicable father and monstrous half-brother. Her appearance certainly didn't help her. However, Theseus did not wish to upset the princess as she was the niece of the witch Circe and had learned from her mother’s knee the arts of magic. Theseus prayed to the gods for a way out of this situation. His salvation came in the form of Dionysus.
The wine god had fallen in love with the Cretan princess many years ago and desired to be with her. Dionysus told Theseus to leave Ariadne on the shores of Naxos and he would never be troubled by her again. Theseus agreed, docking on Naxos for the night, making camp in the beach. Before the sun rose, he awakened his crew and set sail, leaving Ariadne behind with some supplies in case the wine god had lied to him. He never saw her again.
Relieved to be done with Minos and his family, Theseus rested and in his rest forgot to raise the white sails. King Aegeus watched the horizon upon the bay with deep anxiety, fearing the sight of the black sail decreeing his son’s death. The ships appeared upon the horizon and Aegeus rushed to see them, taking up a spyglass and gazing at the sails, raven and fluttering in the wind. Grief overflowed from the king’s chest. He had lost all reason and will to live and thusly, cast himself from the cliffs of Athena.
From the moment he learned of his father’s death, there originates this Theseus and his darker feelings.

That's a really cool take on Theseus. My only critique is that Black Sails feels more fitting as an NP than a Skill, though I admit that boundary has been kind of blurred in GO with several Servants having some of their NPs classified as Skills (like Mordred's Secret Of Pedigree).
Thanks, II wasn't sure what to do with it so I stuck with it being a skill. Might change it later. I wanted to do an Assassin to go along with my Rider from before and Theseus seems like a good fit. Now I'm working on the Caster to finish up.

Also, is it usually this slow? Seems kind of quite the past two days.

That's a nice Char......les Sheet you got there.
I do like that you didn't take the easy option of just have summoning the Three Musketeers as the NP.

The mask and being wiling to betray his friends for his dream are giving me vibes of Griffith/Femto from Berserk. I wonder if that was an inspiration at all? Regardless, an incredibly good sheet.

Inability to find anime FC with fitting clothes strikes again. It's kinda funny how I planned to make him a cocky bastard that thinks he's the best but ruins everything just to make him what I expect to be a precious child.

AWAKEN MY RULERS
Phaethon: Cool sheet, but I have one question. Does he have to die to use his NP, like Stella or La Pucelle, or can it be avoided if his Master uses a Command Seal to cancel the charge partway through?
He uses his NP, he dies.

Apropos of nothing, I know begging for feedback is annoying and whatnot, and usually people saying nothing generally means the sheet is OK.
But at the same time, not getting any feedback can be both frustrating and disheartening. It feels like everyone's just ignored yourhardwork.
Caster of Naxos
Class: Caster
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Title: Princess of Crete
Origin: Greek Mythology
Region: Crete
Parameters
Strength: E
Endurance: D
Agility: D
Mana: A+
Luck: E
Noble Phantasm: B
Class Skills
Territory Creation: B
A skill focused around the creation of a ‘Temple’ in which a magus may work, though Ariadne moreso created a garden work in with her plant based magics and concoctions. Her future as the goddess of mazes bleeds into her Spirit Graph, boosting this skill and causing her gardens to have very roundabout designs through no conscious act of her own.
Item Construction: C
Ariadne learned the arts of Magecraft from her mother, Pasiphae, and aunt, Circe, learning their magics as well as going down a path of her own focused on plants and potions with minor interest in enchantments.
Madness Enhancement: E
Madness born of grief and hatred. Ariadne would later go on to marry the god of wine and madness himself, Dionysus. It is only through his intervention that this madness did not consume her then and does not consume her now, only coming in small bouts that allow her to decompress while causing maximum damage in that short time. However, he does mind his wife having a few buttons to press.
Personal Skills
Divinity: B
On her mother’s side, Ariadne is the granddaughter of the sun god, Helios, and the Oceanid, Perse, also making her the granddaughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Through her father, she is bound to the Olympians Zeus and Poseidon. Her future is to be he beloved wife of an Olympian god and be made a goddess herself. Ariadne's bloodline is one that us closest to the heavens.
Weeping Upon the Shore: A
Some legends tell of the grief Ariadne felt as she was abandoned on the beach of Naxos by Theseus and how her sadness ‘attracted’ the attention of Dionysus who went on to marry her. Tears from her eyes draw the eye of any mortal and even the divine, unable to focus as she weeps, even as she strangles them with her vines.
High-Speed Divine Words: C
Allows the usage of multi-verse spells in a shorter period of time. A skill that has been passed down through her family for generations. Though she was not quite the prodigy that her cousin was, Ariadne still holds a decent amount of skill when it comes to this particular area.
Noble Phantasm
A Place for Love to BloomLost Astereae Garden
Rank: B
Type: Labyrinth
“A dream that can't come true. That is my fate through and through, is it not? Perhaps you will see it one day. I can only hope.”
Ariadne loved her brother. Yes, he was born of a sinful union between her mother and a bull. Yes, he was a monster of horrifying strength and appearance. Yes, he devoured human flesh to sustain himself. But she loved him all the same and that is why she helped kill him. How could he truly live, trapped at the bottom of a labyrinth, acting as her father’s executioner. She knew of his true gentle nature and simple mind. Even the pits of Hades would be kinder.
She wished that Asterios could be free, that he had not needed to live as a monster, that he could be her brother and they could sit in the garden and sing together.
Her wish became a Noble Phantasm. A recreation of that fiendish labyrinth, remade into something beautiful; a garden maze constructed from bushes bursting with vibrant flowers. It blooms from the earth and overlays the world with Ariadne’s desire.
Butterflies and bees dance from flower to flower. Deer tread through the paths unafraid. Birds sing from hidden nooks. The sun will always shine and sky will always be clear. This is the ideal garden. No malice is allowed within its walls. Ill intent of any kind will be dealt with appropriately and quickly.
All Love Must Be A Lie
Heartbreaker
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Mind
“What is love? Can you tell me? Can you show me? No, you can't because there is none.”
Ariadne’s family has no luck with love. Her mother had deal with her father’s constant infidelity and the curse placed upon her for his transgressions. Her cousin loved a prince and betrayed her family only to be left in the dirt, cursed as a witch by the world. Her aunt waits forever for a man she knows will never return. Ariadne is now different. She wanted so desperately to be away from her cursed family, to create a new one and find true untainted love. Like her cousin, she betrayed her family and killed her brother before fleeing with her beloved prince, hoping for a happy ending. Then she awoke on Naxos alone with a few days of supplies and a ship on the horizon. Love was a lie. That was the truth she learned. Ariadne wept on the beach for days, blinded by her tears. Once she finished, she walked into the forest and found the tallest tree. Forming a noose of vines, Ariadne wrapped it around her neck and dropped.
It was after this Dionysus came to her and showed her that love could be true, but this Ariadne has not reached that yet. She comes from these final moments of overwhelming grief and can wield these emotions as a weapon, taking the form of the vine noose. Wrapping around her opponent’s neck, they are able to feel her sadness, her anger, her hatred, her longing, her loneliness. They can feel it all as their own emotion are overridden and they become a mindless thrall that follows Ariadne with a sickening tainted love.
Personality
Ariadne feels like someone who is constantly on the edge of snapping. She smiled and laughs when appropriate and acts in a very relaxed mood, using her free time to tend to her ever present garden or sing. But there is a constant feeling that lingers around her like a knife against your neck, and a single mention of his name brings it closer. Seeing happy families and couples makes her smile too much.
Lore
Ariadne, Princess of Crete, loved her family. It was for that exact reason she hated her family. Her father was a cruel, narcissistic, hedonistic, tyrant who treasured her and showered her with gifts, bending to her every request. Her mother was kind yet wicked and had taught her everything she knew about magic before losing her mind after the birth of the Minotaur, Asterios. Her other siblings barely registered in the girl’s mind. There was no true love in this family. All of it was bitter and tainted by circumstance and foul emotions. Even Ikaria, her sweet little bird, was tainted by her and her father’s imprisonment and underlying hatred. Ariadne had all she could need, yet she was unhappy. Until he arrived.
A handsome boy sailing in from Athens amongst the sacrifices to the Labyrinth. Why would he come? It didn't matter. She knew she had to save him if she wanted to make him hers. When she confronted him, practically exploding with love, the boy revealed himself—Theseus, Prince of Athens—and his intent to kill the Minotaur and escape Crete. He asked her for her help in both. For a moment, Ariadne hesitated. She had no problem killing the Minotaur, death would be a mercy for him, but she remembered the tragic tale of her cousin Medea and her beloved Jason. Would she be falling into the same trap? Ariadne looked into the beautiful sea green eyes and decided.
Taking the instructions of the Labyrinth from Ikaria, Ariadne weaved a ball of string from plant fibers and enchanted it to lead Theseus through the Labyrinth with the sound of her voice. She gifted it to him before he entered and prayed to every god there was that her prince return. He did and together with the other sacrifices, they fled from Crete. It was then Ariadne approached the topic of marriage, now that his goal was complete and he did not need her for anything besides true love. Ariadne did not see the panic in his eyes as she asked nor the hesitation in his voice as he promised to marry her in Athens. She was too full of joy, she was hardly able to sleep when they landed on Naxos for the night.
The newly engaged princess awoke on the beach alone and the world became clear. Love was a lie. It was all a farce put on by humans to make them believe otherwise. Without it, life became a meaningless hell. Ariadne wished she had never seen the truth, that she could have lived in such ignorant bliss for the rest of her life, but now she can't. Her innocence has been taken and it's all his fault!!!
Dialogue/Interactions
“...Oh, greetings. I am Princess….I am Ariadne, Servant of the Caster class. Please treat me well.”
“Ikaria? You escaped, but….oh, I see. There truly is no kindness in the world, is there? Come here.” (Icarus/Ikaria)
“Greetings, cousin. I am happy to see you again and ashamed. Love does not know our family, does he?” (Medea)
“So you've found someone that makes you happy? That's good. That’s fine. I am glad to see you smiling once more. Let us hope it will never fade. For her sake.” (Asterios)

It's based on the common image of her hanging herself after being left on the beach.
