Actually *nerd glasses on* in Fate/Zero, Bucephalus is specifically referred to as she. From volume 2, that scene everybody knows with the Ionian Hetairoi trampling the Hassans:
Now I have to go wash my eyes after reading that translation. I'm so glad there's an anime.A riderless horse galloped towards Rider. It was a powerful and sleek steed, as impressive as any one of the Heroic Spirits standing before the king. "Long time no see, pal." Rider smiled childishly as he hugged the neck of his horse. She was the legendary charger, Bucephalus. Even the horse of the King of Conquerors had become a Heroic Spirit.

[11:20:46 AM] GlowStiks: lucina is supes attractive
[12:40] Lace: lucina is amazing
[12:40] Neir: lucina is pretty much flawless
His Bucephalus is from the wonderful world of Prototype, where no Genderbends happened, thank God
King Arthur never existed, you can do whatever you want with him no matter how stupid because it doesn't matter. Cashcow waifu has always been a lost cause anyway so why stress about ut.
Bucephalus was historically recorded as a stallion
Alex and his horse waifu is weird and it bugs me even if it's harmless. Reeeeeeee

If you read the Zero manga you'd know Bucephalus was recorded as a male because the chronicler happened to see Alexander standing behind her with his pants down and assumed that a dick like that must belong to the horse. It was an optical illusion, you see.
I just supplant Drifter's version of Nobu in my mind whenever I'm not forced to look at that Girlycard reskin. Koha-Ace is funny and a mistake at the same time.
Drake is mentioned in Extra as ((possibly)) being Queen Elizabeth in disguise, and I honestly like that concept so I'll let it slide.
Jack is cute, but yes it's also retarded. I'm just too big of an Alexander fan for my own good.
Shit I should've known.

Class Skills:
Territory Creation
Allows construction of an area that is advantageous to a Magus.
- C: Creation of a 'Parliament,' which is inferior to a true Workshop, becomes possible. As he is more monarch than Magus, the territory created by Edward VI is without question subpar by the standards of his time (though still impressive to the diminished Magi of the modern era), focused instead upon emphasising his status as an absolute ruler. Thus the intent is to establish an area where the majesty of England's king is a thousand times magnified, wherein the king's voice is naturally projected to his spectators and his Divine Right of Kings Skill is enhanced to the point where listeners will feel compelled to submit to his words, as common folk should. To accomplish this, however, Caster must be provided with grounds befitting the glory of the English crown. That is to say, he cannot (or perhaps, will not) construct his Parliament underground, away from fortifications, or upon territory lacking the element of 'kingship.' Instead, he shows a preference for grandeur in choosing his headquarters, such as luxury hotels or ancient cathedrals, worthy of supporting his name. The Master bereft of wealth is thus guaranteed to find Caster a difficult ally.
Item Construction
Allows creation of magical items.
- E: The sole creations of Edward VI are his writings, the Chronicle containing the history of his time and a portion of his personal thoughts that he left to later historians, and the shoddy handwriting and disorganised structure within makes readily apparent why his rank in this Skill is so painfully low. Indeed, he has his in every way inherited his great father's distaste for the art of penmanship, preferring to fall back on rhetoric whenever required. Caster is somewhat more adept at the creation of holy items that may be used in rites, relics that might be considered today on the level of minor Mystic Codes, to the point where he may have developed a genuine talent for this craft had his life not been cut short.
Personal Skills:
Affection of Advisory Council
Direction received directly from one's councillors, it is a blessing for those who were in some way dependent on guidance.
- A: From the very outset of his momentary reign to its untimely end, Edward VI was aided by the wisdom of his Regency Council, a collection of twenty-eight men pulled from the aristocracy intended to guide him for the duration of his minority rule and administrate in his stead. In practice, the intentions behind the council were almost immediately subverted, with Edward's uncle the Duke of Somerset, who immediately fashioned for himself the role of Protector and supplanted the state to his own ends. Regardless, for the years in which Somerset took up the banner of autocratic rule, and those following his deposition, Edward grew as a monarch, a mark of his development symbolised in this Skill.
- Once per week (twice, should it be determined his life is in immediate peril), Caster may within the bounds of his Parliament call up the Council lingering spirits of his advisers bound by loyalty (and better sense) to aid in all his endeavours. Parliamentary Meetings called in this manner exist in a state of distorted time, one where each hour of the discussion takes place in merely a second, allowing Caster to consult with his myriad ministers from both the Regency Council and his own self-appointed Counsel of Estate on the correct path to take, and to deal with the inevitable squabbling that will ensue. Any decision reached by the Council is final and binding, even to Caster, for not even the great despot can overcome the authority that is king-in-Parliament.
- Furthermore, Caster may call upon his conciliary guidance to mimic the effects of several Skills, provided they are not supernatural abilities and merely "learned disciplines," more replicating the works of his advisers so that they might act through him than truly acquiring their talents for himself. These Skills range from the Military Tactics provided by Somerset, the Holy Sacraments taught by his closest confidant Cranmer, the Economic Mastery of Northumberland, and so on. As an unfortunate side-effect, however, this dependance on his elders has given Caster an innate urge to show deference to those he regards as superiors, leaving him ripe for manipulation on the part of his Master.
Divine Right of Kings
Divine right is a political and religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy. It asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving the right to rule directly from the will of God. Those who listen to his voice feel a strong compulsion to obey. Additionally combines Divinity and Charisma of the same rank.
- A-: As the first successor to the English crown since his father's secession from the papacy, and perhaps the only monarch among the Tudors who actually attained power as intended without threat of force, divine right runs especially strong through Caster's veins particularly as the divinity of the crown would be slowly diminished in the century that followed. Indeed, Edward's coronation was a shining example of this, as in an unprecedented maneuver Archbishop Cranmer turned to address the audience, citing Edward therefore as the true son of God, accountable to none. While this high rank provides additional faith-based protection in recognition of his piety, the riots in Caster's reign following his efforts at religious reform hampers his form of Charisma.
- Without much in the way of genuine deeds held to his name, and in the absence of glory one might expect from a monarch, it is Edward VI's intense commitment to his Protestant faith that is best remembered, the image of the 'godly imp' who supposedly devoured twelve chapters of scripture each day, a young boy whose passion for theology and virtue became clear from an early age. As such, Caster's Divine Right serves to diminish works of Thaumaturgy performed in his Parliament, assuming they do not draw from the one true faith that he follows; this effect is drastically enhanced against 'primitive' pagan forms such as Shamanism or Witchcraft, and especially the great heresy that is the mockery of papist belief.
Mystic Eyes
Possession of magical eyes that can interfere with the outside world.
- D: Caster holds what might be labeled as Mystic Eyes of Holy Perception, a rare talent befitting the first king of a reborn Protestant state. They are not 'true' Mystic Eyes in that they are not a gift he was blessed with from birth, but instead a manifestation of his divine right that he came to possess following his accession to power. While they are low of rank in terms of actual application, it goes without saying that Caster made excellent use of them in his brief stint as monarch, allowing him to perceive the religious inclinations of any individual he observes and quietly rid himself of Catholic poison. Had he been allowed to develop as a ruler and reach the majority of his reign, this Skill would have evolved into Mystic Eyes of True Faith, granting effects similar to Mystic Eyes of Whisper against fellow Protestants and Mystic Eyes of Terror against religious opponents. In the Holy Grail War, these Mystic Eyes allow Caster to view his opponent's faith right down to denomination and era or the god they most favoured for those following pantheistic beliefs along with the source of any divine blessings they hold, allowing him and the theologians comprising his council to work towards uncovering their identity.
Magecraft
Knowledge of modern Thaumaturgy.
- C: It goes without saying that Edward VI is not a true practitioner of Magecraft, that heretical art out of keeping with a ruler known for if nothing else his religious fervour. He did, however, share his father's curious passion for the study of astronomy, actively stimulated by the varying tutors he studied under in his youth, among them the professor John Cheke. Under Cheke, Edward's studies soon not only incorporated the mysticism better associated with astrology, but the man's own newly-created pronunciation guide for Greek runes, an introduction into the ancient form of pharmakeia.
- The Magecraft utilised by Caster is thus by no measure a standard model, but instead a cobbled-together mess of astrological occultism, Greek works, Protestant Sacraments and Edward's own interest in geometry, fitting for a Thaumaturgical form created on a whim as a hobby by a curious child. Its primary applications are for the most part defensive, focused upon healing and the creation of barriers, wards with which Caster will use to shield his Parliament from enemy detection and attempt to detect the activities of other Servants. Perhaps indicated by all the adoration of warfare displayed in his writings, Edward finds the idea of assaulting foes with Magecraft distateful.
Weak Constitution
A weakness struck by the nature of frail health. Instead of a Skill, it is what one might regard as a curse.
- B: For those familiar with his legend, there is little doubt the image conjured by Edward VI's name is that of a sickly child, the puppet of a prince burdened with poor health ever since he was small. While the truth of the matter is that he was perfectly well up until the last year of his reign, the depiction erected around Caster has dramatically worsened the case of tuberculosis that eventually claimed his life, resulting in an ailment not dissimilar to the effects of Innocent Monster; should he at any point become overtly emotional or exert himself too strongly, Caster will be immediately beset by bouts of furious coughing, irritating at best and potentially fatal at worst, particularly working with the context of the Holy Grail War. This is not a genuine affliction that can be eased with rest or treatment, but the 'myth of Edward VI, the pitiful child' that forcibly plagues him, an insult to his name that he regards with little more than contempt.

@Mizukune
hey, I've been trying to fix Than Giong up to a better standard, but in your opinion, would an NP that allows him to grow a Mecha by absorbing prana donated by allies, taking organic material[like trees, and say, bamboo], and things like that sound good to embody his property of Growing into a Giant and Being Supported to Become a Giant?
im leaving his armor and bamboo out because those belong to his Lancer sheet, which I'll do after his Rider sheet.
Oh, this is interesting. I didn't think this guy was Heroic Spirit material (Because literally every Tudor outshines him) but this is a good sheet.
I like the Affection of Advisory Council andMystic Eyes that you gave him. I can see you've borrowed the Divine Right of Kings skill that I made up for Henry VIII but you've expanded on it rather nicely. I couldn't actually think of any Noble Phantasms to give him myself, which is the main reason I never made the kid so props to you.

Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: (C)
Magic Resistance grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.
In his later years, Lancer became a wise village elder and shaman, therefore he is given an average rank in Magic Resistance. Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
This skill is reduced to (-) when Lancer activates his Noble Phantasm.
Personal Skills:
Beauty of Trouble with Women: (B)
A gentle form of beauty that naturally draws the desire of women, but in so doing signifies a fate of nothing but misfortune concerning the opposite sex. Not a Mystic Face as it is a natural phenomenon that’s surrounded the Servant since birth. The amount of problems the Servant will have with women increases proportionally along with this skill. While generally not considered a beneficial skill, it can used as a means to bind a woman’s will to the Servant’s own, should he be quick and cunning enough.
It would be a misappropriation of the term to say that all of the problems in Lancer’s life were caused in some degree or other by women, yet it’s the truth. A woman cost him his status, a woman cost him his humility, a woman cost him his honor, and finally a woman was the reason behind his death.
At this rank, Lancer’s cherubic charms shine like a beacon to women everywhere. It’s no more the women’s fault that Lancer must suffer such misfortune as it was the women’s fault who inadvertently tore up his life, but this is a truth concerning his existence and so it continues. While the women are drawn like flies, they exhibit nothing in sense of [yandere] tendencies, it seems only that the World itself is forced to act through women in close proximity with Lancer in order to make him miserable. The rank of this skill does not reflect the effects of Lancer’s Noble Phantasm, though they are similar and related.
Incitement: (C++)
Incitement is a skill that functions as the acquisition of the words and gestures to lead the citizens and the masses. Especially, when employed against an individual, it functions as a sort of mental attack.
When faced with the heavy taxation and mounting pressure of the nearby lord, Lancer was able to effortlessly muster the courage and strength of his village, although having little to zero authority among his countrymen prior to that event. This skill gains bonus modifiers when Lancer is communicating with children, or convincing a group of people to rebel against a larger force and seemingly insurmountable odds.
Nature of a Rebellious Spirit: (B)
Nature of a Rebellious Spirit is the temperament to never remain at one location and never embrace a lord. A wandering star that does not have the capacity to be king nor is capable of finding his own king. Negates the effects of Charisma with the same rank.
Though not one who could ever be considered king, nor who would dare forsake his homeland over petty personal preference (despite his royal blood to the contrary); Lancer’s pigheadedness in the face of conflict with higher authorities has earned its own localized infamy.
The site of his resistance against Mataram has since become a national monument. Able to completely negate the effects of Charisma up to rank B.

A dash of wankery and a heaping dollop of plagiarism, I hope Funderfullness will forgive me since I'm like 90% sure we used the same blogs and sources so the translation would end up more or less the same anyway.
Anyway, here's another fic-worthy Servant I promised a long time ago. Imgur is down right now so if the pic isn't working I'll fix it tomorrow.
Proof? Nah, but it doesn't match with the witness accounts, which mostly describe him as a jacket-wearing dude with a mustache.
Besides, real talk, I just picked the first three historical figures I thought of that were genderbended. All I was saying was that Bucephalus isn't the only weird historical GB.
Drake is actually alright tho.
Jill the Ripper is a thing you know?
Jackie isn't even advertised as THE Jack the Ripper. Just a wraith that MIGHT have been Jack the Ripper.
