    Ted Bundy: Pretty decent all around, though I do have some critiques. I'm pretty sure for Bundy's first Skill you meant Sadistic Constitution rather than Sadistic Charisma. The former is Caligula and Melt's Skill that strengthens their offense the longer they remain in combat, while the latter is just Liz's variant of Charisma. Also, you seem to have accidentally written the Skill description twice for some reason.

    Jack's Murderer Of The Misty Night only permits a pre-emptive strike under specific conditions (in her case nightfall). I'd presume the same is true for Bundy, since being able to get an uncontested first strike on any opponent with no restrictions is way too overpowered. Given how he favored targeting women, maybe have the Skill only activate against female opponents?

    Not so much a critique as a question, but was Bundy really the first person in history to be called a serial killer? I always read that was H.H Holmes.

    Those fairly small issues aside, the sheet is quite well-done. Welcome to the forum Vanatos!

    Thanks for the critique. To answer you're the question though, yes, Ted Bundy was the first to be referred to by that term. I was shocked too when I found out.

    Oya-sama: Now this is a fascinating sheet. Despite her Lawful Good Alignment, it sounds like she'd almost certainly become the main villain in any Grail War she were to appear in, if only because of how her wish would totally hijack the rest of the plot. Though am I missing something, or does Miki lack any direct offensive options? If the winner of the Grail War doesn't agree with her views on salvation, does she have any way to force them into the nectar? As is, it sounds like she can't really do anything other than stand around looking pretty and waiting for enough sacrifices to come in to kickstart her salvation plan.

    Maybe that was your intent, but it doesn't really jibe with the "final boss" vibes I got from her.

    She doesn't have any direct way to fight. The only thing she can do is stand there and try to convince you to join her. If you refuse, well, another one will take your place. I like to think that, in a fanfic, the final boss wouldn't be her, but her Master, who for some reason can't stand the main character's Determination™️ and tries to make them surrender by force

    Makes sense. So she'd be a threat not because of her firepower, but because she has enough charisma to inexorably gather enough followers to fulfill her cause without needing to lift a finger. That's much more interesting (and scary) than what I was imagining, which was a fairly typical "You insist on rejecting my ideals? Now DIE!" final boss battle. Thanks for explaining Padoru!

    "Shinsengumi, captain of the third unit. The evil that punishes evil. Are you righteous, Master? If so, as someone who wishes to vanquish sin, make sure to plan for my death as well."


    Class: Assassin

    True Name: Saitou Hajime

    Alignment: Neutral Evil

    Parameters:

    Strength: C
    Endurance: C
    Agility: B
    Mana: E
    Luck: A
    Noble Phantasm: D


    Skills

    Class Skills:

    Presence Concealment: C
    The capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. This rank is suitable for spying undetected. A hitokiri - manslayer - but unlike those who drew blood in the night streets of Tokyo, this Assassin is a watchful eye that forbids impurity and cuts down evil. His executions were rituals that honored the sincere oaths taken by the members of the Shinsengumi and purged the greed that ensnared the hearts of those who betrayed them - this is how he convinced himself. Therefore, he purposefully announced his presence when killing his target.

    Personal Skill:

    Mugai - Outer Nothingness: B-
    Intense concentration and focus. Cutting off all noises, sights, smells and existences. The vastness of Heaven and Earth disappear and only one's self stands unperturbed. One who knows harmony amidst confusion will be illuminated and reach the Truth. It functions as "temporary invincibility", but it only applies to Assassin's spiritual body and nothing else. Assassin becomes an existence that can't be interfered with, whether physically or conceptually. All senses shut down and only the awareness of his self survives. It only last two seconds at the very most, so timing is crucial. Due to being summoned as an Assassin - a manslayer who punishes evil with evil - a minus modifier is applied to indicate a troubled state of mind that can't perfectly achieve "the Truth", so the technique can fail if Assassin is mentally shaken. Beyond A-Rank, the Skill becomes something else entirely and would reach the realm of "absolute quarantine" that only a certain fairies-forged sheath can achieve.

    Slayer of Chaos and Evil: A+
    A Skill that grants increased damage not only towards those of the Evil alignment, but also against Chaotic individuals. Needless to say, a Servant who is Chaotic Evil will suffer immensely. It is separated from the almost functionally identical "Executioner" because of the nature and context of said killings. A Skill born not only from Assassin's deeds and station as one who safeguards the law and eradicates evil, but from his self-resentment as "one who is not unwavering in his convictions" as well.

    Watchful Eye: B
    The ability to see through disguises, falsehoods, lies and deceits. Its application in combat allows Assassin to completely ignore feints and distractions like an owner of "Eye of the Mind" would, but the Skill finds its main use in investigations and interrogations. Assassin's gaze can pierce even transformation abilities on the level of a Noble Phantasm if they don't perfectly replicate both appearance and mannerisms. Even when meeting individuals for the first time, Assassin's instincts tell him whether one is being honest or not - his sixth sense is not something that can be fooled by a clever use of words or half-truths, but only by a perfectly serene mind.



    Noble Phantasm
    "There is nothing other than the Truth.
    As vast as the Heaven or the Earth may be, only the Truth can lead to righteous virtue.
    The Truth dwells in the self and its understanding leads to enlightenment.
    And the purest light radiates at its manifestation.
    Hikari Ippō."

    Vidya, The One True Way: Hikari Ippō
    Type: Anti-Unit Mystic Sword
    Rank: -


    An unique sword technique, a "sword of invincibility".

    Like the Avidya Three-Stage Thrust and the Swallow Reversal, it is something that can be neither replicated nor inherited. As such, rank is meaningless.

    It is more of a Skill than a Noble Phantasm, but it qualifies as the latter under some summoning systems. Essentially, it is nothing but Assassin's "Mugai" Skill applied to the blade rather than the self.

    In the Shinsengumi exist three swordsmen that have surpassed the realm of man and have invaded the territory of crystallized mystery with mere skill alone: Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saitou Hajime. It is said that the Nagakura described Okita as a "sword of valor" and Saitou as a "sword of invincibility".

    Invincible - a blade that is not restrained by emotions, does not shake with doubt and ignores both the World and the will of the wielder himself. It is a perfect way to express Assassin's character, as well as the nature of this sword technique.

    The sword "disappears" from this world.
    It can't interfere with it and it can't be interfered with.
    The slash does not slice the air, emits no presence, produces no sound and can't be seen.
    Outside of time and space, the instant in which the technique is initiated and the moment it ends are one and the same.

    Due to its nature, it shouldn't be able to inflict harm.
    However, the moment the sword is reintroduced to the world, the contradiction that the sword stopped existing and yet moved can't be understood.
    Therefore, the "void" left in reality is filled.
    At its re-manifestation, the path that the blade "should" have followed will be treated as "it happened".

    An imaginary attack that gives no answer, therefore the World itself must produce one. As such, absolute damage that can't be reduced or nullified will actualize on what it sliced through.

    It is not a mere physical slash, but a technique that cuts down falsehood and deceit.
    It denies impurity, smites evil, tears apart illusions and shatters fakes.
    Although Assassin's "Mugai" can't achieve the Truth of self, this mystic technique is capable of such a feat.

    Its trait of starting and ending at the same instant is such that it's physically impossible to avoid if the technique is initiated when the enemy is in range.
    However, this advantage is limited by Assassin's short range: the cutting edge of his katana is two shaku and five sun long, roughly 75 centimeters.
    Adding the length of his bent arms extends his range to maybe four shaku - 1,20 meters.
    Moreover, it is not impossible to make a rough estimation of the blade's path before the technique is initiated, especially if one possesses prediction or analysis Skills.

    There is the sword of infinity that acknowledges multiple possibilities and answers.
    There is the sword of zero that scrapes everything off until only one answer remains.
    There is the sword of valor that believes everything is one.

    There is the sword of invincibility that produces a void that is filled with an imaginary, non-existent answer.

    That is, Hikari Ippō.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Evil Kills Evil: Uncertain Shadow
    Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
    Rank: D


    A mental interference Noble Phantasm that obscures Assassin's existence.

    When activated, it indiscriminately forces on all observers an "uncertainty" as to whether Assassin is an ally or foe. His parameters, Skills and Noble Phantasms become inaccessible - but if prior knowledge of his identity or abilities was available before it activated, it won't be forgotten.

    Enemies will hesitate from the sudden shift of perception and allies will be similarly confused. It essentially resets battle conditions, but it also allows Assassin to manipulate other people's knowledge with false information as long as he doesn't present contradictory statements.

    The Noble Phantasm will permanently lose its effect on observers who witness Assassin taking offensive actions against someone they perceive as ally or enemy. Conversely, as long as he doesn't attack or is not witnessed, the mental interference will persist.

    Despite sounding somewhat useful, it is a third-rate Noble Phantasm. It can only be activated once. It doesn't alter an individual's values, so Heroic Spirits who aren't willing to take any chances may attack Assassin regardless of the uncertainty. Moreover, since it applies to Assassin's Master as well, a catastrophic result may await if they aren't particularly trusting of him.

    One would find it easier if his Mystic Sword technique were treated as his actual Noble Phantasm, with Evil Kills Evil being just a tool with limited usefulness.

    A low-level crystallized mystery deriving from the suspicion of the masses who believed that Assassin's role as an executioner of traitors concealed his true identity as a spy for the Meiji revolutionaries. It is a concept further strengthened by the missions where his flawless infiltration into hostile groups, during which he faked - or perhaps deluded himself into believing - convictions that trampled on the oaths he had sworn as a member of the Shinsengumi so well that no one ever suspected him.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Makoto no Hata: Flag of Sincerity
    Type: Anti Army
    Rank: D (B)


    The Shinsengumi flag, with the word "sincerity" printed on it. It's a Noble Phantasm shared by all members of the Shinsengumi that have become Heroic Spirits, although effectiveness varies with each member and the Class they are summoned in.

    Within a limited range of the flag, members of the Shinsengumi can be summoned. They are independent Servants with no Noble Phantasms and E-Rank Independent Action. Their strength, face and personality is subject to the perception of the flag's user.

    Because Assassin has been summoned in a Class that embodies his regrets, Makoto no Hata is considerably weaker and can only summon 5 members at most. As an Assassin he is the feared executioner of the Shinsengumi, so only his most intimate friends would answer his call - Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, Yamanami Keisuke and Toudou Heisuke.

    Because the summoned members reflect Assassin's perception of them, they all occasionally glare at Assassin with accusation in their eyes.

    If he were a Saber, the Noble Phantasm would regain its former glory.

    Incidentally - when summoned by Okita Souji's flag - Assassin's appearance is that of a "scary" Shinsengumi member. Although Okita arguably surpassed his skill in swordsmanship by a small margin, it is said that he wasn't someone she would want to fight and that she was wary of his "sword of invincibility".

    Ironically, her own Mystic Sword technique is actually a counter to his short range and would usually win, so her fear stems from their interpersonal relationship. The fear a kid would feel when an adult finds them stealing cookies from the jar, basically. Even though they have the same age.



    Lore and Background

    Saitou Hajime, one of the three greatest swordsmen in the Shinsengumi.

    It is said that the first three captains were monsters whose otherworldly skill couldn't be called swordsmanship anymore - something that no one should ever imitate or admire.

    The captain of the first unit and the captain of the third unit were similar existences, but they differed in how others perceived them.
    If the former was a flower of the battlefield whose true horrifying nature couldn't be perceived and was thus admired -
    - the latter was a demon that purposefully allowed others to comprehend the depths of his brutality and was thus feared.

    Born in 1844 as the son of a mere foot soldier who had bought the rank of gokenin (low-rank vassal of the Tokugawa shogunate), Saitou Hajime lived his young years as a simple boy for eighteen years.

    That peace ended after he killed a hatamoto (upper-rank vassal) who had been harassing his father for many years. Obligated to accompany his superior, his father had been forced to invite him to his house and was helpless as the hatamoto began to act improperly towards the wife.

    Saitou Hajime's murder was reckless, oddly hateful towards a man he didn't even know. He quietly picked up the hatamoto's katana and slashed him in the back without hesitation.
    However, as far as the young man was concerned, he had merely cut down a falsehood, a wicked man who had forgotten his principles as a human being.
    Still, that coldness was not a logic that his siblings or parents could understand.
    Resigned with that, he fled Edo (Tokyo) and reached the imperial capital Kyoto, where he began to work as a swordsmanship teacher despite his young age (1862).

    Only one year later (1863), he was scouted by Kondou Isami, who had heard tales of his swordsmanship.

    "You're pretty skilled for your age, aren't you? Your sword is a heresy that doesn't belong to this world anymore, but I don't think that's a bad thing. We are all idiots with a few screws loose in the head, so I believe you'll fit right in."

    Just like that, he joined the short-lived Roushigumi - and after that, the Shinsengumi.
    Having been granted permission to patrol the streets of Kyoto, they became the group of elite swordsmen that opposed the Meiji revolutionaries.

    Saitou Hajime met Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, Yamanami Keisuke and Toudou Heisuke.
    The five of them quickly grew close as the younger members of the group.
    But with Okita and Nagakura, he shared a special bond as fellow swordsmen who had abandoned the realm of man.

    Before the Shinsengumi grew in size and prospered, there were no captains and no units.
    Everyone was equal, everyone trusted each other and everyone believed in the future.

    However, that happiness ended following the Ikedaya incident (1864).
    The Choshu and Tosa clans were pro-imperialists who sought to remove the western influence in Japan and remove the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate.
    The Shinsengumi was one among many groups that was charged with arresting or killing any revolutionary.

    After Hijikata Toshizou captured one of them and brutally tortured him, the group discovered their plot of setting fire to Kyoto and kidnapping the daimyou of the capital.
    With haste, Kondou led a group to the Ikedaya inn - used as headquarters for the revolutionaries - to arrest them.
    A second group that included Saitou, led by Hijikata, was sent as reinforcements when the situation turned violent.

    The skirmish ended with an overwhelming victory for the Shinsengumi.
    Eight revolutionaries were arrested and twenty-tree were killed.
    Of the Shinsengumi, only one member died; Nagakura's hand was injured and Toudou's forehead was cut.

    This incident was the beginning of the Shinsengumi's rise in fame, but of also its downfall and corruption.

    Derogatorily called Wolves of Mibu by their enemies, the group attracted many recruits and its members eventually numbered in the hundreds.
    To handle its size, it was divided in units.
    The first was led by Okita, the second by Nagakura and the third by Saitou.

    But for Saitou, that was only a cover.
    Kondou and Hijikata trusted him with the duty of weeding out any potential spies in the group, a threat that accompanied their sudden recognition.

    But how could they ask him to do that?
    To suspect his comrades, his friends with whom he swore oaths and fought together?
    To kill them if their hearts had betrayed the beliefs of the group?
    And yet, he accepted.

    It took no time at all for things to go wrong.

    Okita grew weaker and weaker. Some members had witnessed her almost collapsing from exhaustion.

    In 1865, vice-commander Yamanami abandoned the group after several disagreements with Kondou and Hijikata. Although Saitou was sent to retrieve him - or execute him, if needed - his friend did not resist and quietly followed him.

    "Those two have forgotten our purpose. They have been consumed by money, food, alcohol and pleasure. The oaths we swore... they lost that sincerity."

    And although Saitou was confused by Yamanami's words and pressed him to clarify, Yamanami shook his head and said that he wouldn't understand.

    Yamanami commited seppuku, with Okita as his beheader. Hijikata inherited his position as vice-commander. Okita admired and loved Yamanami as a big brother since she was a small girl - and although she didn't cry when he died, her condition worsened considerably.

    Two years passed, with Saitou investigating and executing any member guilty of treachery.
    Most of the members stopped trusting him and even his own unit feared him, constantly mindful of what they said in his presence.
    In 1867, he executed Takeda Kanryusai - who had grown unsatisfied with his position within the Shinsengumi - on the Zenitori Bridge.

    In the same year, he infiltrated the breakaway group created by Itou Kashitarou, pretending to be resentful of his role as executioner that Kondou and Hijikata had pushed on him.
    No... perhaps he wasn't pretending at all, but instead fooled himself into believing he was content with this sort of existence.
    And even though Toudou Keisuke - one of his dearest friends and the youngest of the first members - was also part of the group, Saitou's blade still took his life.

    As the Shinsengumi earned more and more recognition, the group also took part in large-scale battles.

    Okita had contracted tuberculosis. Retreating from the battlefield, she spent every day resting and coughing blood.
    Saitou often visited her, but felt troubled whenever she asked him to tell her what was going on.

    And for the first time in his life, he lied. He omitted the truth, and did so each time.
    He didn't tell her of the Shinsengumi's corruption, of Kondou's and Hijikata's brutality, of his role as an executioner, of the friends he had killed in cold blood.
    Okita was still dreaming of a warm light, of a "truth" that only existed when the Shinsengumi was still young.

    The captain of the second unit, Nagakura - the only friend aside from Okita that still trusted Saitou - also left. Following a massive defeat that resulted in the loss of many Shinsengumi members, he made his resolve after enduring several disagreements with Kondou and Hijikata over the years.

    "Maybe Yamanami had the right idea, after all. It seems these glasses I wear aren't for show - it took me so long to see the truth. Yamanami accepted his death because he wanted the honor the respect he once felt for Kondou, but I won't do that. Our commander is not the same man I once looked up to - I have nothing to honor."

    With a farewell accompanied by the hope that Saitou could find his answer as well, Nagakura left. Saitou cried when he noticed that his hand had been resting on the hilt of his katana the whole time, ready to draw it.

    In 1868, commander Kondou was accused of having assassinated Sakamoto Ryouma. Hijikata attempted to free him, but his pleas were rejected.
    Jailed and beheaded, Kondou's head was put on display near a river.
    Saitou wept, but another emotion rose within him.
    Recognizing it as relief - happiness that his role as executioner ended with the man he served - he felt disgust towards himself.
    After forcibly retrieving Kondou's head, he asked a priest to bury it behind a temple.

    Saitou lied once again to Okita, not letting her know of Kondou's death.

    "Even though I might have died meaninglessly... I didn't want to reach my end like this, helplessly staring at the sky. The oaths we swore together... I wanted to keep them with me."

    Two months later, she succumbed to her illness and died with regrets in her heart.

    Yamanami, Toudou, Nagakura, Okita - all of Saitou's friends were now gone.

    Kondou's death was accompanied by the inevitable defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate, as well as the Shinsengumi's slow demise.

    After Hijikata was gravely wounded, Saitou was named temporary commander. Following their defeat at the Battle of Bonari Pass, Hijikata decided to retreat - an unprecedented decision for the demonic vice-commander - but Saitou opted to remain in hostile territory.

    He wished to die.
    He wanted to die.
    After staining his hands with the blood of friends and comrades, he did not deserve to leave the Shinsengumi.
    He did not have that freedom.

    "So at least, let me die here."

    But he lived, and the third unit that still stuck with him was wiped out. Hijikata died months later, a bullet shattering his spine.

    Saitou survived, married and had children. He reconnected with Nagakura Shinpachi, who had survived as well after leaving the Shinsengumi, and they set up a grave in Tokyo to honor the Shinsengumi when it was still young.

    To remember the friends and comrades they had lost.
    To not forget the oaths of sincerity they had sworn.
    To leave behind the regrets of the past.

    But Saitou never managed to escape the shadows of his past.
    He drank heavily to drown his memories.
    It took more than forty years for him to die from stomach ulcer.



    Personality

    Dignified and dutiful, Assassin is the type that takes everything seriously regardless of whether it's a trivial chore or a battle to save human history.

    He emits an aura of austerity and his expression is locked in what, at first glance, appears to be a frown. Children quiet down in his presence and some may even cry while mumbling "I'm sorry!" - essentially, it's that type of misunderstanding.

    Despite this extremely intimidating impression others have of him, he isn't stern at all. Although he is disciplined, he doesn't pretend that sort of behavior from others as well.
    He is very accepting of others, but because of his sense of duty he often ends up working with people he doesn't like and fighting against people he likes.

    All of his movements are graceful and beautiful. Swiftly and properly, he doesn't hesitate. Even when making mistakes, he quickly corrects himself in a way that makes it seem as if it was predetermined. Because of his role as an investigator, he is prone to paying attention to the smallest details.

    Although one might say that his extreme sense of duty is worthy of admiration, it is also his greatest flaw.
    He is completely unable to act in a "half-assed manner"; when he makes a promise or devotes himself to an ideal or group, he can only go forward.
    He believes that "truth" is the righteous virtue. Although he believes that the act of breaking it is evil, he doesn't necessarily categorize those who do so as evil.

    His devotion is almost a curse. When trapped in a contradiction that forces him to choose between different friends, he is fated to inevitably self-destruct.
    He doesn't hesitate, which is why he will always choose one or the other.
    He honors the one he sides with and is therefore "truthful", but by betraying the other he is also guilty of "evil".

    As an Assassin, he embodies Saitou Hajime as the executioner filled with regrets.
    A killer who feels ashamed of his sharpened instincts. At some point of his life, he wept for the fact that he was ready to kill his closest friends.
    He hates himself and says that - as an evil that punishes evil - he will have to eventually take his own life as well.
    However, that's only a fancy excuse. His death wish is just shame cloaked in self-resentment.

    Shame that he didn't do more.
    Shame that he cowardly lied to Okita.
    Shame that he didn't make his resolve.
    Shame that he couldn't place friendship over duty.
    Shame that he selfishly lived while his friends died by his blade.
    Shame that he abandoned Hijikata under the pretense of covering his retreat.

    He is not so self-centered as to believe "everything is my fault", but lives could have been spared if he had betrayed his sense of duty and refused to obey Kondou.
    He believes that others suffered because he's afraid to be hurt. Even many years later, he didn't commit suicide and instead allowed an illness to claim his life.

    Like the other swordsmen who have created absolute sword techniques, he has a merciless side that kills others in cold blood as well as a more human personality. Because it is easy for those swordsmen to differentiate between these two sides, Saitou's mind is completely serene in battle even though he's deeply troubled as a human being.

    He isn't one for small talk, but that's because he sometimes thinks to himself "should I bring it up?".
    He doesn't mind children, but because children are terrified of him, he's a bit uncomfortable around them and has developed a small complex regarding his appearance.
    A very picky eater. Because of Hijikata's obsession with takuan (pickled radish), he developed a particular distaste for it after the vice-commander often pushed it on other members as if he were doing them a favor.
    Surprisingly bad at card games. His poker face is first-rate, but he ends up thinking too much and is too careful to take any risk.

    He is proud of his swordsmanship, but oddly insistent in separating "using a sword" from "wielding a sword". Swordsmanship as a killing tool is different from swordsmanship as an art - it's that sort of logic that may cause conflict over a simple choice of words.



    Relationships

    Okita Souji:


    • "It's fine, I don't need to meet her. If I'm deemed worthy of facing her, I will accept it. Knowing she's here, fighting with people she can get along with, is good enough. Something so modest was her only wish. Ah, but to think that her illness would still curse her after leaving this world... being an Heroic Spirit is both convenient and inconvenient. It would greatly please me if you didn't push her too much, Master."



    • "Saitou-san is here, isn't he? If he's being all sneaky, I guess he has been summoned as "that". You shouldn't listen to his self-deprecating words, Master: he's really bad at lying to others and is even ashamed of it, but he always lies to himself. When he lied to me about the Shinsengumi and Kondou-san... I had already given up, but his visits warmed my heart. He didn't tell me the truth, but he was being sincere - because he cared for me, he didn't want me to cry or feel sad, so he lied. Even when the Shinsengumi changed and he struggled to keep up, I think he's the only one who didn't leave and yet never forgot about our oaths. What I want to say is: Saitou-san is kind to others but cruel to himself. It would make me happy if you smacked him in the head the next time he degrades himself, Master!"



    Okita Souji (Alter):


    • "So even if she wished to fight until the bitter end, this is the result... Nothing is left, and nothing can be gained. Truly, Servants are a blessed and cursed existence."




    • "Saitou... I remember a voice that warmed my heart. my body was in pain, but... maybe his heart suffered even more. His hand... I want to squeeze it."



    Hijikata Toshizou:


    • "Berserker... mmph, that certainly fits him. His swordsmanship is nothing special and he even relies on those firearms, so Saber is impossible. He can only charge ahead, ignoring everything that stands on his way as he tramples upon allies and enemies alike. Selfish and uncompromising, that's what he is. We worked well together, but... if it weren't for the Shinsengumi, I don't believe we would get along. I doubt he sees me as a friend either."




    • "I thought he'd died in Aizu, but he ended up surviving after all. How unlucky for him - he can kill too well for his own good. Mmph. I'm not unhappy, but I'm not overjoyed either. If you wanted a manslayer, Okita will happily do that for you. After all, Saitou... uh, I have nothing to apologize for, but... nngh, I might have been too inconsiderate towards him. That's why I told Okita that the two of us were enough. Saitou's blade can just rust away in peace and... that four-eyed worm Nagakura, I want nothing to do with him. Do not summon him."


    Sasaki Kojirou:


    • "As serene and clear as still water. A man who has taken the art of the sword to its limits... no, there are no limits in yours. I'm impressed. My blade severs falsehoods and deceits, but you truly have nothing to hide."



    • "... mmm, a blade that acknowledges nothing. I see, that is a possibility I would not have minded exploring. Surely the swallow would not have felt it coming. But it is quite unfortunate that an esteemed warrior such as you has manifested with a state of mind so troubled."


    Miyamoto Musashi:


    • "Niten Ichi-ryū Miyamoto Musashi, you say... I detect no falsehoods, so I don't have the right to protest your claims, but... this is troubling. Were our history books just that bad?"




    • "Eeeh, he's really close, isn't he? If it weren't for that frown, he's be so close to my ideal bo- I mean, he's really close to attaining complete emptiness. I guess he almost succeeded, but went through a lot of stuff and failed to retrace his steps back. Yeah, you see, wasn't the Bakumatsu era way too crazy?! How did it produce so many monsters?!"


    Okada Izou:


    • "You have some nerve, stupid mutt. Opposing the law, getting needlessly attached to your worthless masters, leaving messes all over the streets and calling yourself a genius swordsman. Do you truly believe that stabbing people is an art? If an ignorant butcher like you keeps making false claims, I'll just cut away your lies - along with your neck. Then I'll remove that fat tongue from your dirty mouth and throw it to the pigs."




    • "Eh, Mugai-ryū Saitou Hajime. What's that "Outer Nothingness" crap? For a supposed genius, you sure trouble yourself with useless teachings. Wanna see if my blade can reach your "truth"? Well, at the very least, you don't try to pretend to be anything but a manslayer. "


    Sakamoto Ryouma:


    • "Loved by the weak and hated by the powerful. His was not a position to be envied. Kondou died because people blamed him for Sakamoto's assassination, but the Shinsengumi was fated to wither even if it weren't for that. Truthfully, I don't mind men of justice like Sakamoto, but I can't pick whom I work with and whom I fight against. Being a Servant can be inconvenient, but these meetings are what you would call a blessed fate."




    • Ryouma: "Saitou-kun looks really approachable, doesn't he? Everyone feared him because of his public executions, but his blade never made any uninvolved citizen bleed. For that, he has my gratitude and respect. Still, he looks really troubled."
    • Oryou: "Looks like he has a stick up his a-"
    • Ryouma: "Please stop that."



    Oda Nobunaga:


    • "Hmm, her range is too long. Our compatibility is bad."




    • "Hmm, my attacks just phase through him! Our compatibility is bad?!"



    Karna:


    • "Strength aside, his mental fortitude is something I can only dream of. He has no regrets, his loyalty is pure - his eyes can't be deceived and he deceives no one. Someone with so many virtues... although admirable, this is why I hesitate in seeing heroes as human beings."




    • "O, Blade of Nothingness. If your justice is doubted, I will support it. If your ruthlessness is feared, I will admire it. Though your kindness may lead you to wrongly believe that you have wronged others, your lack of greed and refusal to compromise are what indicate that your charity is greater than mine. By suffering and weeping, you spared many from a crueler demise. Your ruthless justice could not halt an inevitable tragedy, but it managed to preserve a few of the oaths your comrades swore on that day."



    Henri Sanson:


    • "His grief may resemble mine, but his executions were a spectacle. As I thought, that is hard to approve of. The ruthlessness of France is just a massacre: how can justice prevent war if the country has already drowned in blood?"




    • "An evil that punishes evil. If his justice sees the betrayal of ideals as a sin, I won't dispute it. Although... sorry. We are a bit too similar, so getting along with him is too hard."

    Got sniped so hard my brain is still splattered on my screen

    That aside, your Saitou was so much like what I had in development it's not funny.
    Meaning, excellent job on him.
    The Act of dozing off in the afternoon is a luxury indeed.
    Coffee would be nice, though.

    Luck: A+

    Biography
    More well-known as "Jesus of Nazareth" or "Jesus Christ" is a first-century Jewish preacher and one of if not the most famous religious leader in all of history. Both the central figure and was the one who started the belief of Christianity which would later become the world's most populous religious group in the entire world with two thirds of the world's countries believing in it and is the spiritual backbone for many powerful groups and organizations most notably the Church.

    The prophesied "Messiah" spoken about in the Old Testament. Though at the time this person was thought to be a person of great power and ability who would liberate the Jews from the reign of the Roman Empire. Instead what they got was a prophet who's teachings changed the religious perspective of the Jewish people, earning the ire of many of the religious leaders during that time. This ire would later lead him to be wrongfully persecuted in a fabricated trial and be crucified on the cross for the sake of mankind's sins, later coming back to life after three days then ascending into heaven to take his rightful seat at his Father's side.

    However it is foretold that he will once again return in what is said to be the "Second Coming" where he will herald the judgement of all mankind. Though this is indeed the truth there is another separate return made hidden. Sent by God in order to protect mankind, he is destined to return to preserve the human order against the being known as Beast VII the "Beast of the End" for authority for who shall herald the end of the world and determine the fate of mankind as a whole. As such was crafted a unique servant container and body in order to do battle with the Beast and contain both her full power and divinity. Its power is said to be on par with that of a Grand Servant and the image he or rather she has now is mainly due to specifics of her new body being crafted to assume the form of "True Purity", a holy maiden incorruptible and pure up into the very end with its features being based on his mother the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    She is not a being that can be summoned by the Holy Grail nor can she be summoned by the World like the Grand Servants as she is merely taking inspiration from them. She is a being that can only be summoned by God and no one else as such one can claim she is literally and figuratively "God's Servant".


    Personality
    As a person she is a calm and patient individual but hidden beneath is a being of great wisdom, knowledge, charisma and will that was enough to overcome the temptations of even the Devil himself. All of these traits are masked under a layer of humility unlike anything else though it is more accurate to say that both these characteristics are her yet she does not flaunt despite her immense power. She is a person who takes joy in the simple things and cares not for materialistic possessions. This however does not mean that she is incapable of feeling annoyance or anger as her patience, though great is still finite. It is said that defiling the "House of God" is said to be a quick way to earn her wrath, an anger so great that the fact it manages to somehow manifest in the first place despite the nature of her body is by all means a contradiction and is not something anyone should do should they value their life.

    She is capable of fighting by infusing the surroundings near her with divine energies resulting in powerful explosions comprised of pure holy power. Other than that she is also capable of using the holy nails that pinned her to the cross in order to immobilize and drain the power of opponents and use her cross to smite evil on a large scale degree. She also has in her possession the "Book of Seals" though it is not something that can be typically used in combat.

    It is said that she also had the "Holy Grail" as a Noble Phantasm in some form but was immediately discarded by Iesua herself. In truth she hates the Holy Grail as in her eyes it was simply a cup that carried her blood as wine used in the Last Supper. Instead due to her association with the relic, it has become nothing but a symbol of materialistic desires and needless bloodshed with its image acting as the basis for the Holy Grail War. It is said that it would've been a Noble Phantasm capable of utilizing her Miracle skill on a wide-scale degree though it is impossible to tell for sure...​


    Skills
    Class Skills:

    Charisma: A+
    A composite skill consisting of an individual's charm as well as natural talent to command or unify an army or country that allows one to increase the performance of allies during group battles. As an person who managed to become a threat to the religious leaders of her time due to her surge of popularity that persisted even after her Ascension and becoming the central figure of belief in Christianity she gains this skill at a high rank, so much that is has become a curse in itself.

    Counter Hero: B
    The signature class skill of the Saver class that reduces the parameters of 'heroes' that the user faces in combat. It reduces the parameters of 'heroic individuals' by two ranks though it is weaker against anti-heroes, reducing their parameters by only one rank.


    Personal Skills:

    World Made Flesh: EX
    The incorruptible body created by God capable of housing Saver's complete existence as a Divine Spirit in order to do battle against the Beast VII the "Beast of the End". It is a special body that assumes the image of that of the Mother Mary herself and is the reason for Saver's current appearance. It is a composite skill that comprises the effects of both Divinity and Martyr's Soul. At a rank of EX she is not only a full on Divine Spirit but at the same time is completely immune to mental interference of any kind, even those born from skills and Noble Phantasms. Though it is said that if one were to "defile" the House of God in any way then...

    Triumph Over Death: EX
    One of Saver's greatest feats known is her "victory over death", raising herself back from the dead on the seventh day after her crucifixion. A titular moment so celebrated it has become an important backbone in Christian religion. It is a skill that illustrates ones ability to overcome death on their own merit with Saver being one if not the most popular figure in history to achieve such a feat. In Saver's case she gains a complete immunity from attacks that inflict instant-death, the forceful application of the concept of death or effects that manipulate fate to make death more likely and even resist lethal blows done to Saver against her Spiritual Core akin to Battle Continuation. Combined with Miracle she can do an act beyond the limits of True Magic "The Reversal of Death" however doing so will completely seal this skill.

    Miracle: A
    It is a skill that can occasionally make the impossible possible similarly to the skill "Pioneer of the Stars" though there is a difference in the scenarios it can be applied in. Saver in her life was well-known to be capable of many acts of miracles like her first miracle turning water into wine, the multiplication of fish and bread, the calming of the storms, the healing of the poor and giving back life to the once dead Lazarus. As such at a rank of A, under certain conditions thanks to her skill "Triumph Over Death" she can create a miracle that can exceed even the scope of that of True Magic "The Reversal of Death" or essentially bringing someone back to life at the cost of sealing "Triumph Over Death".

    Good God's Wisdom: A+++
    A skill that serves as proof that one has taught many people, granting them the ability to exhibit skills she doesn't normally possess at rank of A as long as it's not tied to the body as well as possibly give them to other Servants and if there is enough Magical Energy, give them to those other than Servants. When Saver got lost at a young age she was found again years later, teaching the elders and scholars and later on during her mission given to her by God taught the people through various means such as parables and lectures. As such it is easy for her to impart the skills from this ability to others.


    Noble Phantasm

    The Nails that Bind the Lord
    Vinculum Dominus

    (Anti-Divine): B+
    Range: 1 ~ 5
    Maximum No. of Targets: 4​

    A holy relic that was used on Saver during her lifetime, a popular relic among the Arma Christi (Intruments of the Passion) and a prominent symbol of worship among Christians though it does not have the same level of fame compared to that of the Holy Grail. They are the Holy Nails that bound Saver to the cross during her crucifixion and created the famous wounds on the palms of her hands and the center of her feet that were used to convince Thomas of Saver's presence.

    It is one of only two Noble Phantasms that pierced Saver's flesh the other being the Holy Spear "Longinus" that was used to pierce her side. They take the form of ornate nails that are in Saver's possession. The nails shoot out like a projectile and immediately home in on a targets limb in a attempt to bind them to a nearby surface. Though the exact number of the nails vary due to the distortion of its legend, it is said that Saver has a total of four that she can use at a time.

    When struck the nails restrict movement, being embedded in their hands or feet making it painful to perform actions and drain the Servant of their power causing tremendous pain as long as the nails remain in a Servant's body with the potency of this effect increasing if the Servant is Divine in nature. The power siphoned from the target is then transferred into the nails themselves, increasing its effects and the bind it has on the Servant, creating a loop as it continues to grow in strength and the servant weakened as it continues to sap away at their energies eventually killing them.

    It also has a secondary effect when used on herself alongside her other Noble Phantasm "Morte Cruci Affixus"...


    The Eternal Salvation from Sin
    Morte Cruci Affixus

    (Anti-Evil): B - A+++
    Range: 1 ~ 300
    Maximum No. of Targets: 1000​

    The manifestation of Saver's boundless love for mankind, it is the culmination of Saver's entire legend where she lived, suffered and died on the cross for mankind's sins. It is the ultimate sacrifice done by Saver for she loved man so much that even through the agony and the pain she willingly died for the sake of man. It takes the form of a large wooden cross that Saver carried with her all the way to Mount Calvary that is bound to her person as it is completely impossible to separate the two from one another akin to a curse. Despite its appearance it is not the same cross that Saver was bound to but a manifestation of mankind's sins, evils and sufferings both born from and done to mankind from all those that are alive and have lived.

    When used it harnesses the power of her ultimate sacrifice to save man from not just 'evil' but rather the 'Original Sin' that plagued the first man and woman created by God. It would not be a stretch to call this the "Strongest Anti-Evil Noble Phantasm" due to its nature that targets the concept of evil itself rather than evil in general. When used it smites all those that can be considered 'evil' dealing more damage to Servants of the 'Evil' and 'Chaotic' alignment and are 'Demonic' in nature. This attack targets not just evil but rather the 'True Evil' that plagues one's soul. It is in essence a spiritual purging that Saver does in an attempt to bring those effected closer to 'salvation' even as they return to the Throne of Heroes as the power of this Noble Phantasm is strong enough to even permanently influence one's Saint Graph, such is the power of the salvation Saver wishes to bring.

    This is merely a fraction of the Noble Phantasm's power however, when used in conjunction with Vinculum Dominus, Saver uses the Holy Nails to bind herself to the cross in an re-enactment of ultimate sacrifice she did for the sake of mankind. At this level the power of this Noble Phantasm stretches across the size of an entire country, enveloping the surroundings in a divine glow as Saver purges all evils and eradicates all demonic entities in the form of a giant cross made of heavenly light. It is said that merely seeing merely a fraction of the holy glow emitted by this Noble Phantasm is enough for its effects to start taking hold on the observer. This function of her Noble Phantasm however cannot be used for the purpose of simply 'defeating' an enemy nor can it she be forced to do so by any means. Rather it can only be used for the sake of mankind and not for some ill will. Once complete Saver's Spiritual Core fades and she too disappears.


    The Second Coming
    Apocalypsis Christi

    (Anti-Humanity): ---
    Range: N/A
    Maximum No. of Targets: N/A​

    The strongest Noble Phantasm in Saver's possession, the Book of Seals that was perceived by John's Revelation of the Second Coming of Christ. A Noble Phantasm that rivals the strength of an Anti-World Noble Phantasms that is said to hold knowledge of the "true" End of Humanity. The power to bring about man's natural conclusion and not something born from great evil or outside forces and is the entire reason for Saver's summoning against Beast VII. It is essentially the manifestation of her authority to judge mankind at the very end that can only be invoked with the consensus of both Gaia and Ayala. The power to usher the apocalypse that shall tear the entire planet asunder in which all living things shall be effected in order to bring upon the dawn of a new age, the era after mankind has been judged.

    It takes the appearance of a large golden book with Seven Seals with each seal housing its own calamity. Once the first seal is opened the process cannot be reverted and the remaining seals will be released at their own appointed time...

    "Harbinger of All Afflictions" (First Seal)
    The first seal calls forth the first of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the White Rider known as Pestilence the "Harbinger of All Afflictions" in a bolt of thunder. It is said that he shall ride throughout the world wearing a crown and launch arrows that harness all the worlds plagues and disease at mankind, conquering the land as he went.

    "Wrath of the Nations" (Second Seal)
    The second seal summons the second of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Red Rider known as War "Wrath of the Nations". Wielding a powerful great sword made of hatred he has the authority to nullify the peace and unity between man and shall cause the world to go to war by instilling them with rage and causing the nations of the world to crumble down.

    "Bringer of Consuming Hunger" (Third Seal)
    The third seal brings forth the third of the Horsemen, the Black Rider, the one who is called Famine "Bringer of Consuming Hunger" who shall arrive with a pair of balances. He has the power to cause imbalance to the world, causing the world to fall in an economical state of chaos causing social structure to fall and the people to become poor and starve.

    "He Who Heralds the End of Life" (Fourth Seal)
    The fourth seal heralds Death, the Pale Rider wielding the scythe and last of the Horsemen. It is said that behind him he brings the Underworld, following him wherever he goes. He is the strongest out of all four and is given the authority to order the beasts and monsters of the land to hunt mankind down and unifies the other three Horsemen to kill all life under his power. He is in essence the one who commands the harvest of man to be sent to the underworld.

    "Cruel Jurisdiction of Those Faithful" (Fifth Seal)
    When the fifth seal is opened the gates of the underworld is opened and the souls of all the martyrs that have died and have been persecuted for their faith shall fly out wearing pure white robes. They shall demand justice for all the torture and pain they have endured and seek retribution to the wicked and the sinners of the land and shall act as jury for the judgement of mankind.

    "The Day of Darkness" (Sixth Seal)
    Once the sixth seal is unlocked, a great earthquake unlike the world has even seen shall strike the land as the sun becomes black and the world is painted in pitch-black darkness. It is then that all those who remain will be filled with immense fear as the time of judgement draws near...

    "For Mankind Shall Be Judged on the Promised Day" (Seventh Seal)
    The last seal shall be followed by immense silence before seven angels shall appear to play their trumpets as Saver harnesses the power of the prayers of all the saints to create a powerful flame that shall cleanse the unworthy. It is then judgement shall begin, for those who are good shall go to heaven with her and those who are evil, together with the souls trapped in hell shall be sent to the fire to be erased entirely till not a single soul is left on earth.

    Notes
    People were talking about Jesus servant so I decided to update the genderbent one I did on Christmas. Still not happy with some things on here but decided to experiment with how Apocalypsis Cristi was presented cause it looked to barren and decided to take a page from King's Order.

    My basis for this sheet (other than to see if I could) was to focus more on the apocalyptic / Second Coming aspect of Jesus which I feel like is kinda overshadowed by the "died for our sins" aspect.

    You can use them for so much! Even my WIP Saver!Xu Fu Sheet is Patchouli.
    But, now that I think about it, I also need to replay Last Comer at some point, and finish up a Sheet I had for Concealed the Conclusion Reimu Hakurei.

    Actually, how come she doesn't have [Revelation] or [Clairvoyance]? Is it because she is Second Coming Jesus rather than Jesus from before the Resurrection?

    Pretty much though I wasn't really planning of adding Clairvoyance into the mix as that would make it too much like Solomon, Revelation though yeah totally.

    I have some Questions in regarding of your Iesua .

    About the apoalypsis christi i have understood that once started it cant be reverted But what is if one Horseman is defeated before the next is appearing and how strong are they in comparison to the servants would servants be able to defeat them,and in this case are the appaerances of the other Horsemen and halt the process,like are the books able to be by as exmple of Noblephantasm destroyable.

    How can i imagine the fifth and seventh seal release. would you have example scenaries like is the earth after that lifeless ? i dont understand the endresult there.

    Might as well try something with Proto!Shirou

    I am not the ruthless swordsmith.
    However that is not a weakness in itself-

    The swords i craft cut no Fates, No bonds, No Destinies.
    They only cut what i want them to cut.
    My name Is Goro Masamune, but as a pseudo servant, my human name-

    Skills
    Riding: C
    Due to lack of any note about exceptional riding skills, Saber receives the C class from the class container

    Magic Resistance: B+
    In addition to a very high skill level, saber can also utilize the pure nature of his swords to reject magic even further, though applying the same effect on him[her]self through the use of Tranquil Sword Creation and Secret Teachings of the Swordsmith


    Personal Skills
    Tranquil Sword Creation: A++A higher form of item construction and Mana-Burst unique to Saber, through the use of swordsmithing blessed by gods, one becomes able to apply the concept of Nehan [Nirvana] upon swords, giving them the divine purity of the gods while at the same time being confined to the realms of man.

    Magecraft: C++
    Originally, Saber had little knowledge of magecraft, however due to the quality of the possessed vessel, he[she] can make full use of his vessel's magecraft knowledge, although this works better then the Vessel in in control. Even if the vessels's magecraft is only worthy of C rank, he[she] is still much more proficient than he[she] was in life.

    Vitrification: A

    A serene state of mind, perfect tranquility or most extreme nothingness so to speak, Saber achieved this state due to forging high quality blades whose conceptual existence was close to Nirvana. It greatly weakens mental interference attacks aimed at him[her].

    Secret Teachings of the Swordsmith: A
    Not only has saber forged swords, he seeks to teach others this art.
    He has taught many the secret of a "Sword that has Achieved Nehan [Nirvana]" although few fully mastered it on the level Saber knew it, this skill allows him[her] to place unto others the concept of "Achieving Nehan [Nirvana]", making this skill similar to Good god's wisdom.


    Noble Phantasm

    Chant
    I seek not the blade that can slaughter ten thousand enemies.
    nor do i seek the demonic sword which feasts on blood.
    nor do i seek a blade which cuts through all.
    Therefore i shall show you, that a blade needs not be bloodthirsty to be powerful!

    Once seeking the most tranquil blade
    A blade which does not slaughter butterflies like it would sever heads
    A blade made only for cutting and defeating of opponents, enemies.

    -That is, a blade that has attained Nehan-

    Upon One's departure the sword is made.
    Heating and grinding, Shaping steel into weapon that hurts only what is in front of it.
    At this place i shall honor the Buddha
    At this place i shall honor the Kami
    At this place i renounce all demons in the name of the heavens
    Feel the power of perfect nothingness!

    CUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE CUT, MUKOO MASAMUNE!

    The Blade that has achieved Nirvana
    Mukoo Masamune: Perfectly Tranquil Blade Works
    [EX] [Anti-Unit/Anti-Reality]

    The perfect blade that is the culmination, a perfect fusion of all the blades Goro Masamune ever forged.
    It is not the Honjo Masamune, His greatest work, but it is constituted among all other blades which he built.

    It is the Godly equivalent to the Demonic Tsumugari Muramasa, The blade that can cut Bonds, Fates, And Destinies, rather than cutting those, this blade cuts down reality itself.

    It is not just a simple powerful sword, it is the concept of "Attaining Nirvana" made manifest, Overlaid on the physical world, Cutting Reality and replacing it with nothingness.
    There are three Requirements needed for this Noble Phantasm, first of, Saber must take control over the vessel's body, this is generally not required if the vessel learns the chant, but is preferable for Saber to do this.
    Then, the Opponent- Saber's target must be Carrying a weapon and be an active opponent of saber, for the blade shall cut only what needs be cut.
    And finally, saber must get permission from the god's to unlock the blade's true potential and to harm a living being, this is done through the chant itself, but can also be done beforehand to Prime the noble phantasm, avoiding the Long Chant.

    Upon activation, the blade starts glowing white, Cutting reality and replacing it with nothingness, although the gaps in reality are quickly healed by the world, as the blade gets closer to its target this effect starts to multiply exponentially, eventually leaving long lines of missing space that cannot be healed quickly by the world.

    Upon contact with the enemy it starts converting all the missing space left in its wake to energy, charging the blade with more and more attack power, instead of just cutting the enemy it uses this power to apply the concept of nothingness to the enemy, Their mind achieving Nirvana, forcing the concept of death upon them and tearing apart their lines of death all at once, sending their soul into paradise [or in the case of servants-back to the throne] and freeing them from earthly suffering, in a sense, it a forcing of the concept of death on the level of Grand Assassin [King Hassan].

    One major weakness of this Noble Phantasm is that there is noticeable lag between the absorption of removed space and the cutting of flesh, a particularly fast enemy with quick reflexes will be able to push saber back before their mind is drowned in tranquility,

    Cutting of Reality is in the realm of the gods, normally, like with Tsumugari Muramasa, Saber would perish, but because Saber wields the sword in the name of the gods, 95 percent of his Mana is taken as a price instead, requiring a master to be nearby to activate this noble phantasm.


    etc
    CE: Honjo Masamune
    So this is your greatest work, Masamune?
    Yes, originally, it was supposed to be "the" work, a blade that has achieved nirvana although me being a mortal at the time, this was impossible.
    So it is a failure?
    No Ayaka, it is a success because it was the most i could achieve with my mortal hands, as the finest sword.
    Technically it is also my noble phantasm, although it is quite useless.

    The Primary personality and the one in control in the body is Ayaka Sajyou, Per Masamune's wishes, he wishes to teach her how to be a true fighter, bring resolve into her.
    Masamune acts like a Teacher to her most of the time, he sees potential in her not as a swordsmith but as a Tranquil Figter.
    He sees much of himself in her, with her being forced to kill living animals as a ritual by her father, she has trouble killing living animals because of this, this extends to people, in her own assessment, her character is the worst.

    This is where Masamune steps in, he is there to correct this false notion, telling her that her weakness is also her greatest strength, further commenting that her unwillingness to kill even in life or death situation strongly mirrors the blades he crafted and his own personality as well, saying that its as if one of his blades gained a personality of its own.

    Ayaka herself is a very insecure person, with past trauma and mental scars, she has found a new resolve to fight to protect the orders of humanity. although she also found the same resolve during the tokyo grail war, it is stronger than ever thanks to to the influences of Masamune.

    Neither have a wish, Masamune comments that he has already achieved all he can in life, crafted most beautiful swords with human hands. and Ayaka says that her only wish is to fight because she was unable to.

    Relations:
    Emiya Shirou [Archer]: So this is supposed to be me of the parallel world, a hero of justice who killed in the name of saving lives.
    I could never end up the same way, i don't have that kind of resolve, in fact i envy him a little be, even i he is technically me.

    Sengo Muramasa: That is Muramasa, my equal, but at the same time my opposite, his vessel is also your archetype, Ayaka.
    He seeked a sword that can cut down bonds fates and destinies, to cut in the same authority as the realm of gods. i cannot say i like him, he was my most insolent student, but the most skilled one at that, Yang cannot exist without Yin after all.

    Saber Proto: oh! Saber is here, I'm so glaaaaaaa~d
    With him around I will fight even better. I shall prove myself to him!


    Reflection
    My first Pseudo and my first Genderbend IN ONE, although i had the idea of doing an ayaka pseudo for a long time, and as soon as i learned of Muramasa!Shirou, i knew who to do, criticism is welcome as always.

    The description specifically notes it's not any of the swords Masaumune forged, but all of them fused together to form the "perfect sword" he never managed to create in life.

    Regarding sheet remakes, is it better to edit the old sheet and post a link, or just posting the new version?

    most people didn't read updated sheet.

    At least people rarely comment about them. Like SSR rare.

    So I worried about not having done justice to Inari and Tsukuyomi for nothing?
