Create-A-Servant 2

[RoydGolden]

Slightly stupid question, but you mentioned that this causes a transformation for Berserker. Is it a permanent transformation, and, cause Berserker is smarter in this form, can he turn it off himself. Also, kinda new to anime so could someone tell me the reference(Probably shot myself in the foot with that)

Either way, cool idea, kinda reminds me of an earlier servant who was basically the manifestation of Russian Winter, Major Frost I think? It would have been kinda obvious, but did you think of giving him a Marble Phantasm?

- - - Updated - - -

Thinking of it, its also interesting how you came up with the Saint Graph, I'm guessing the Endurance is cause how long the fire lasted, the Strength from it burning down a huge part of London, and Agility, from it out passing the people trying to stop it.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback Chain. Yeah, the transformation is meant to be permanent. I guess Berserker could possibly turn it off himself, but I'm not sure why he would given he couldn't punish sinners very well as a mindless brute. And the reference is to the anime/manga Fire Force. It's about a squad of special firefighters who battle "Infernals", monsters made of living flame that can only be killed by destroying their core. His FC is of an Infernal, and I even included an explicit reference with the "Latom" at the end of his personality section, which is the prayer the firefighters give when putting an Infernal to rest (i.e killing it) in that series.

It's a pretty good and fun show, so I'd advise checking it out. Be warned there's a fairly high fanservice content though, including one particular female character who has a "curse" that makes her constantly get into accidentally perverted situations (like tripping and burying someone's face in her boobs, etc). If you have a low tolerance for that sort of thing the series may not be for you.

I did consider giving Berserker a Marble Phantasm/Reality Marble-like ability recreating the Great Fire of London, but I figured that would be too generic and on the nose.

And honestly, I'm a little embarrassed to say I didn't put that much thought into his stats. The only stat I specifically based on his original "incarnation" was Agility, as I figured fires are fast and hard to contain. Endurance was because he can keep fighting until his spiritual core is destroyed, and Strength is because I figured Berserkers usually have a high rank in that stat. But I'm glad you found it fitting.

Thanks, sounds like an interesting series. Sigh... Another thing to add to the watch list

No prob, I do the same thing at times. I kinda have a tendency to over think things...

Not as far as I know. There was a thread for making alternative NPs for canon Servants (like, say, the Strange Straps sword for David), but it died quite a while ago.

I have a vague memory of someone linking a post to this thread from some other forum that just listed Noble Phantasms, both canon and fanmade. Damned if I can find it, though.

The Greatest

MUHAMMAD ALI



Class: Berserker
True Name: Muhammad Ali
Origin: America
Alignment: True Neutral
Attribute: Man

Parameters:
STR: B
AGI: B+
END: A
MANA: D
LUCK: D
NP: B


Background

In 1954, when Cassius Clay Jr. was twelve years old, his bike was stolen out of the rack on the street. Furious, Clay vented his frustrations to a police officer, swearing he would find and “whup” the thief. The policeman responded: “You’d better learn how to box first”. The spark of curiosity ignited a fire in the child, one that inspired him to undergo rigorous training and become a boxer. Immediately it became apparent that Clay, even as a novice, possessed an incredible natural talent for boxing, one that allowed him to rapidly ascend the ranks from amateur boxing to professional, all the way to the world heavyweight championship against Sonny Liston. Clay decisively and explosively dethroned Liston the champion, stunning the crowds that had turned out to watch the fight. Shortly after, Cassius Clay changed his name to the title which would eventually become his True Name: Muhammad Ali, “one who is worthy of the highest praise”.

From there, the legend grew and grew. Ali lived in an era where heavyweight boxing was at its peak, and Ali defeated the greatest fighters of his time handily. Liston, Patterson, Williams, Terrell- all formidable fighters who fell to their knees against Ali. He seemed genuinely invincible to the public, a man who transcended human limitations, a symbol of triumph for African-Americans, a man elevated to the status of a superhero. Nothing so much illustrates Ali’s public perception as Superman VS Muhammad Ali, the best-selling comic book in which Ali spars with and defeats Superman, proclaiming “Superman- we are the greatest!”.

Ali continued to fight until he could not fight anymore, pushing himself for decades until his body began to deteriorate from Parkinson’s Disease. By the time he died, Ali was considered one of the greatest boxers in human history- a man who by his merits earned the title of “The Greatest”.



Personality


Likes: Himself
Dislikes: The draft
Natural Enemy: Antonio Inoki

Ali was by every account an extremely arrogant man. A man who genuinely considered himself to be the greatest of all time, who denigrated and belittled his opponents in the ring and boasted of his achievements at every opportunity, Ali summarized himself thusly: "It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am”. But Ali never said what he couldn’t back up; that cocky attitude was built on a foundation of incredible physical prowess and skill that allowed him to fell opponent after opponent.

This quality of Ali’s also manifested itself in many positive ways, one of which was a strong moral conviction. He was famously a philanthropist and activist, championing causes and promoting charities throughout his life. It is said that Ali fed 22 million starving people through his efforts.

Berserker’s respect is as sparing as coins from a miser’s purse. A person is worthy if they demonstrate a virtuous character, or great skill in combat. This respect must be earned via demonstration, often single combat. In the view of Berserker, fighting with weapons, armor, magic, or help beyond their Master’s “corner” is cowardice. Despite being involved in a match which would eventually lead to the development of mixed martial arts, Berserker similarly disdains techniques beyond pure striking with fists. In other words, Berserker wants a test of his abilities on his own terms, a fight between boxers. His wish for the grail would be “to fight strong opponents once again”- a man as great as he would not change his life one inch, his only regret being that he could not have fought more and triumphed more.


Class Skills

Mad Enhancement: EX

Berserker only engaged in combat within certain parameters and restrictions, the “rules of professional boxing”. The restraints which Berserker self-imposed during his lifetime allow him to maintain a mutual understanding despite everything; however, when called Cassius by the opponent, reason and restraint are discarded.



Personal Skills

Battle Continuation: A

The skill of the man who continued to fight while blinded, who withstood George Foreman’s hit to the jaw and asked for more, who suffered two hundred thousand blows from history’s strongest strikers. Unless a genuinely fatal injury is delivered, Berserker will continue to fight whether his bones are shattered or his body is crushed.

Clairvoyance (False): C

A pseudo-foresight achieved through experience. Essentially an educated guess translated into skill. Berserker can “predict” the movements of his opponents, and more famously, at what point he would defeat them.

Legacy of a Champion: EX

A skill in recognition of the man who was considered “the most famous person in the world”. It symbolizes the incredible charisma of Muhammad Ali, who ascended to the Throne of Heroes through the creation of his own personal legend.

The Will Is Stronger Than The Skill: A

A skill symbolizing a martial artist who did everything “incorrectly”. Ali, who held his hands the “incorrect” way, who dodged punches the “incorrect” way, and essentially ignored conventional wisdom. He discarded accepted techniques and supplanted them through pure willpower and physical superiority.



Noble Phantasms

“Float Like A Butterfly”

Rope-a-Dope

Rank: B++
Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

A crystalization of the technique invented by Muhammad Ali against George Foreman during the Rumble in the Jungle. Ali would back himself against the ropes, seemingly helpless against Foreman's barrage of blows, appearing to all spectators as if he were being brutalized. However, skillfully using the ropes of the boxing ring, Ali diverted the force of the strikes and weathered the attacks until his opponent had become weakened. At this point he could strike back and viciously assault the exhausted Foreman.

The technique can be likened to a compressed spring. Following the hidden activation of the Noble Phantasm, the "spring" is subjected to more and more intense force. Here Berserker appears to be beaten by an assault from his opponent, while in actuality negating the attacks through superior agility and stamina. At the moment of the cessation of the Noble Phantasm, the "spring" is released and snaps outward. Here, following the will of Berserker or when the assault exceeds what the Noble Phantasm can withstand, Berserker launches a counterattack with the collected strength of every blow he had suffered under his opponent. So in essence, the Noble Phantasm relies on weakening the opponent while simultaneously strengthening Berserker.

“Sting Like A Bee”

Phantom Punch

Rank: B
Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

A Noble Phantasm that combines two concepts, the anchor punch used against Sonny Liston and the Accu-Punch which defeated Richard Dunn. The first being a fast right which was was delivered with such quickness it could not be perceived by the audience, the second being a blow which surpassed the limits of human reaction time, both have collected into a strike which is superior to all other strikes.

The Noble Phantasm can be activated at any time without windup or preparation, at any point within Berserker's range. In the moment of activation, Berserker's Agility is raised from B to A, allowing him to deliver a hook at speeds faster than the eye can track. Because the Noble Phantasm exists in a fraction of the space between a human's reaction time and zero, it is impossible to avoid in most cases without a superhuman awareness.

[RoydGolden]

Hmm, that's a really good Ali sheet. The Baki FC definitely fits him (even if it's technically his son in the show, not the man himself). For his second Skill, I'm not sure if Clairvoyance really fits Ali since that's enhanced eyesight. Something like Eye Of The Mind (False) might work better. Also, do his latter two Skills have any mechanical effects? I can see Legacy of a Champion being a Charisma variant, and maybe The Will Is Stronger Than The Skill could make Ali's attacks hard to predict since they're performed purely from instinct rather than technique (a la Beowulf's Grendel Buster NP). But it would be nice if the effects were a bit clearer from their descriptions.

[Cleverly_Clearly]

The skill is sort of a half-Clairvoyance half-Eye of the Mind. I wanted something related to how he'd call what round he'd knock out his opponents in. It's "Clairvoyance (False)", not just Clairvoyance, because it's not genuine future sight. But I can see what you mean.

Thank you for the critiques! I appreciate the insight.

THE DEVIL DOCTOR

Fu Manchu

Alternate Classes: CasterLancer, Rider
Origin:

British

Mere Fiction

- The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu by Sax Rohmer, 1913 / Composed of Historical Fact - China
Alignment: Lawful EvilNeutral Good

Parameters:
STR: B
END: A
AGI: B
MGI: C
LUCK: A
NP: A

Lore

Dr. Fu Manchu is not real. He was never real.
Fu Manchu is a fictional character made up by Arthur Ward, under his usual pen name of Sax Rohmer when the author asked a ouija board how he would make his fortune, and the board spelled out C-H-I-N-A-M-A-N.

That's actually true, by the way, look it up.

As such, Fu is complete fiction. And unlike Holmes or Dantes, there's no kernel of truth to his existence. Sure, Rohmer claims he based him on actual Chinese crime lords he'd encountered in Limehouse, but Rohmer was known to be willing to say anything to make himself not appear racist. It's likely that Fu is exactly what he was described as in his first appearance... "the Yellow Peril incarnate in one man." A composite villain made for the purpose of exploiting the West's unfounded fears of Asian culture, in the form of a deadly, devilish, evil man of unmatched intelligence and ruthlessness. That, you see, is Fu Manchu.

So how, then, is he able to be summoned? Well, by forces unknown, Fu Manchu's Saint Graph was formed from the merging of many Chinese Phantom Spirits and Wraiths that, on their own unable to even be considered for the Throne. Together, however, they've mustered enough mystery and combined notoriety to create a Heroic Spirit, wrapped in the container that is Fu Manchu.

Among the souls that comprise Assassin are Ye Mingchen, known for his role in the two Opium Wars and his unyielding resistance against the British, and Zeng Guofan, a famed general who helped to end the Taiping Rebellion. Ma Zhongying, an early 20th century Chinese warlord. Cao Futian and Zhang Decheng, leaders of the Boxer Uprising. Liu Shiduan, founder of the Big Swords Society. Famous, undefeated martial artist Yang Lu-chan. And of course, there's Ah Sing, famed opium den proprietor. Prominent late-19th century Tong leader Fung Jing Toy, better known as Little Pete.

Altogether, these Spirits have approximated Fu Manchu's claimed abilities. His intellect, his cunning, his knowledge of the martial arts, his aptitude for the sciences, his unwavering desire to restore China to its 'proper' imperial state (with him in charge, obviously)... all perfectly replicated, in a maelstrom of unwilling souls.

And that, you see, is Fu Manchu. The Yellow Peril incarnate.And yet, that's not all there is to the demonic doctor. See, just as it was in the stories that birthed him, 'Fu Manchu' is merely an alias. His true name is Guan Yu, whose personality and abilities have been supplanted by that of the myriad essences that form the 'Fu Manchu' identity. This, you see, is the reason he can be summoned as a Servant, and one with such power. An uncorrupted Guan Yu would be a different Servant entirely, likely of the Rider or Lancer Class, with different versions of skills, Noble Phantasms, etc. He would even have an entirely unique, third Noble Phantasm of which Fu Manchu has no equivalent, his legendary

青龍偃月刀

Green Dragon Crescent Blade Frosted in Blood

.

In the original stories, Fu Manchu is said to be, in one of a multitude of theories to his unrevealed origin, the incarnation of an ancient legend, speaking of an event where 'an evil spirit of incredible age may enter unto the body of a new-born infant', and become the deadliest mind in the world. That, potentially, may have something to do with the corruption of Guan Yu.

Fu Manchu could be said to be an 'Alter Ego' Class servant manifested in the Assassin Class, perhaps as an extension of his own desire to obfuscate his identity (which is reflected in Fu Manchu's Skills and Noble Phantasms). As such, even the fiction that is 'Fu Manchu' could be said to be a falsehood, a layered fabrication of history, similar to how fears of the Yellow Peril were based not on reality, but on the West's own insecurity, reinforced and 'justified' by Western-produced propaganda and fiction. A prejudice justifying itself, just as Fu Manchu is a fiction that forces itself to exist. Truly, he is the Yellow Peril incarnate.

Personality

Fu Manchu is a stoic, stern man, the furthest thing from a the cackling madman people might assume him to be. He takes measured, well thought out actions that are so well planned that it may seem like he's clairvoyant, and things always seem to go his way... even if heroes tend to stop his plans, in the end.

He's quite honorable, a man of his word who will under no circumstances break an oath, and he expects the same of those opposing him. Similarly, he abhors unnecessary cruelty, though he will gladly indulge in torture and manipulation when he deems it 'necessary'. Were he not a vile, depraved villain, he could be considered quite the gentlemen-- he's polite, thoughtful, and loves animals, occasionally showing hints of humanity, glimpses which are quickly consumed by the reality that he is a drug peddling, murderous, slave trading demon of a man. Additionally, he hates fascists and Communists (though, this is mostly because they'd get in the way of his world domination).

Skills

Class Skills

Presence Concealment: A
Fu Manchu's Presence Concealment Skill manifests differently than in most Assassins-- he becomes nearly impossible to locate, but his presence is not quite 'concealed'. One could easily see him if he was standing nearby, for instance, but if one was searching for Fu Manchu, and didn't know his location already, it would become nearly impossible, even through luck or magic, to correctly find his whereabouts. This is the crystallization of his status as a mastermind who works from the shadows, through agents, who must be tracked down with great difficulty by his foes.

Item Construction: A
The warlike Manchu has Item Construction abilities of the highest regard, able to manifest just about anything by simply willing it so. However, the high ranking is not without a limitation... Fu Manchu can only use it to create various tools he can use to carry out his dastardly crimes, namely poison, but even living things in the form of a myriad of fungi, insects and arachnids, small reptiles and even rodents. His knowledge of toxicology is said to be without equal in the history of mankind. Indeed, he was "a poisoner to whom the Borgias were as children". These poisons and vermin are so potent that even Servants are not immune to their effects.

Independent Action: A
As stated, Fu Manchu tends to work through his vast network of agents. This is reflected in his Independent Action Skill, which allows him to functionally act without any input from his Master. Indeed, most Masters who summon him will only ever speak to an agent of Fu Manchu generated through his Noble Phantasm, instead of the man himself.

Personal Skills

Wicked Monster: B
A Skill similar in nature to Innocent Monster, with the difference being that Fu Manchu is precisely as monstrous as he is portrayed. As such, his acceptance of this and, indeed, his embracing of this reputation has resulted in an appearance that, despite not being far outside the norm of a regular human, deeply unsettles and inspires anxiety, perhaps even fear, in those who actually see him. Servants and Masters alike without great courage or a great degree of wickedness themselves will find that they can't help but be subtly terrified by the doctor, even if he were being nothing but personable towards them. Additionally, his eyes seem, under certain lighting, to be those of a true dragon...

Master of Poisons: A+
Fu Manchu, as mentioned above, was described as the greatest poisoner in human history, and supplements his science of death with fungi, insects, and more. This manifests as his Master of Poisons skill, which renders him immune to all poisons, toxins, and venoms, as well as allowing him to instantly identify any he encounters and, if he so chooses, work out an antidote.

The Yellow Peril: EX
A similar ability to Moriarity's two personal skills, The End of the Spider Thread and Charisma of Wicked Wisdom, embodying Fu Manchu's identity as perhaps the greatest criminal mastermind to ever live. He was described as "the greatest genius which the powers of evil have put on the earth for centuries", a man who "was the ultimate expression of Chinese cunning; a phenomenon such as occurs but once in many generations. He was a superman of incredible genius, who, had he willed, could have revolutionized science". At rank EX, it allows Fu Manchu to functionally control an area as large as the entirety of London from behind a curtain of shadow, escaping any consequence of his action or any threat of failure, with the exception of having his plans foiled by those of great heroic resolve.

This Skill gives him approximations of various other Skills, such as Bravery, Coercion, Calm and Collected, Valor, and perhaps yet more...

And some say this skill, his most deadly tool even surpassing his Noble Phantasms, has yet more to hide.In truth, the might of The Yellow Peril comes from the Saint Graph of Guan Yu, Fu Manchu's 'true' identity. Guan Yu, deified for his impeccable skill as a general, and his adoration from the people of China, would have a similar skill by the name of Sangharama Bodhisattva, an EX rank Skill that allows him to truly embody his title of "Guan the Holy Great Deity; God of War Manifesting Benevolence, Bravery and Prestige; Protector of the Country and Defender of the People; Proud and Honest Supporter of Peace and Reconciliation; Promoter of Morality, Loyalty and Righteousness". But, corrupted by the nature of Fu Manchu, this Skill has been twisted to embody Guan Yu's worst aspects-- his arrogance, his brutality, his vices-- while losing none of its potency.

Without a doubt, this terrifying Skill, born of nobility and mangled by evil, befits one as wicked as Fu Manchu.

Noble Phantasms

思凡的代理人

"A Yellow Octopus Whose Head was Dr. Fu Manchu."

Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
The crystallization of Fu Manchu's status as leader of the world-spanning Si-Fan organization, 思凡的代理人 is a seemingly endless army of Agents that Fu Manchu has do his bidding, sub-Servants of a weaker Assassin Class, with Presence Concealment: C and Chinese Martial Arts: C. This Noble Phantasm of Fu Manchu's is always active, from the instant he's summoned. Indeed, it is one of these Agents that will meet Fu Manchu's Master upon his summoning, instead of the doctor himself. These Agents are capable fighters, but are generally no match for a true Servant. Even if fifty of them were to attack a moderately strong Servant at once, with the element of surprise, they would only succeed in winding that Servant.

Indeed, this Noble Phantasm is far more useful for operations of the stealthy variety, such as gathering information or, perhaps, dispensing poisons.Yet another manifestation of Assassin's true self, poking through the dominant shell that is Fu Manchu. If properly summoned, this Noble Phantasm would have been

武聖

The Army of the Emerald General

, a troop of soldiers that would serve as his loyal warriors in battle, as well as his medics and spies. It is a manifestation of his own loyalty, and how much respect he commanded in life. Here, it is twisted into a Noble Phantasm of fear and subterfuge.

傅满洲的复仇

Dr. Fu Manchu, Evil Incarnate

Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Death
A conceptual Noble Phantasm that signifies how Fu Manchu had a way of always escaping death, even when he died. This is his true Noble Phantasm, the one that makes this Servant 'Fu Manchu' instead of the sum of his parts. When faced with death or situations that will certainly lead to death, Fu Manchu will, if there's even the slightest possibility that he could have survived, survive. No matter how unlikely the circumstance, the most slim of possible routes towards avoiding death will be taken. Even if an attack is a 'sure kill', if it has ever in history not killed its target, that is enough for Fu Manchu to recover from the blow. One must make certain to kill him with a method that is absolutely, one hundred percent without flaw.

This Noble Phantasm, in addition to his Skill of The Yellow Peril, makes Fu Manchu one of the deadliest servants, if only due to how difficult he is to truly defeat.In truth, this, too, is a Noble Phantasm that was warped from one that would have belonged to Guan Yu, and is the only one he has that is undoubtedly superior to the equivalent belonging to Guan Yu. Had he been summoned without the taint of Fu Manchu, this Noble Phantasm would have been

崇寧真君

Loyalty Beyond Even Death

, a manifestation of how Guan Yu is said to have manifested as a spirit after death several times, either to provide guidance for others or, in a famous and possibly fictional case relayed in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, to get revenge on those who had wronged him in life. As such, it would have allowed Guan Yu to, if he as a Servant were to die, 'return in an hour of need', temporarily re-Summoning himself from the Throne of Heroes as a Servant once more, before vanishing.

[Legendary Hero of the Chain]

Man interesting servant, truth be told. You used a very interesting method of having him manifest rather than going the normal, “Fictional character based on real” route, so good on you!

So, I’m guessing Extra Assassin is the Bain of this guys existence, with No Second Strike and all. Also, I like the note where he sends a servant to meet his master, kinda like watcher in Strange/Fake. Overall an interesting design.

Afternoon Off

Lancer carved the roots of the nemeton with the symbols of Lugus. She had just had a run in with Archer and she needed to center herself spiritually. She had thought all of the knight class were honorable but instead she had fought that trickster. Combat was supposed to be a fight between two opponents baring their should to each other but instead he had fought like a coward and then ran away. She centered her breathing and then stood up. There really was no need to get her head stuck in the past.

She turned back and saw Saber standing there. “Hey Saber! You know you didn’t have to wait for me.”

The nervous mountain of a man was wringing his hands. “Y-yeah, but I mean I don’t have much else to do so… Anyways have you finished your rituals then?”

“Yup! I’m all spiritually balanced now. Master said that we don’t have anymore plans until later tonight and they’re safe in their little hole; want to go out? We obviously can’t go to far but there’s still plenty to do.”

“O-of course! Where would you like to go? That ice cream place from Monday was really fun, and you said you wanted to try laser tag.”

“Ehhh, we’ve been doing nothing but what I want. I’ll let you choose where we go.” The two were now walking from the groove in the park back to the city.

“I-I don’t know, my idea of going out might not be very interesting to you.”

Lancer put her arm around Saber and puled him close. “He if you’re having fun I’m having fun, that’s what being in a relationship is about. Now let’s go have fun!”

“O-okay!”

Break

“Wow! I can’t believe that all these legends are written down just right there. Way more accessible than in my time.” Saber was holding a book of greek myths.

Lancer was watching from a small distance away, a smile on her face. “You do know that the grail gives us all the knowledge in these books right? I mean you have the information of all these myths directly downloaded.”

“Yeah but it’s different from reading it yourself! I mean check this out, this author obviously has a bias against the gods portraying them as fickle cruel being!” He handed the book to Lancer. “But this one! This one has the gods as more kind figures more like parents caring for a child.” He gave Lancer the other book.

“Isn’t it beautiful? The idea of stories changing based on how the one telling it feels about the subject!” He then picked up a compilation of Norse myths. “Like the Norse myths we know are heavily changed from their original state because we are looking at how the christians felt about the pagan religions. Sure we have a few original stories passed on orally but the main bulk of texts are really a pagan religion filtered through the church!” Saber then realized he was shouting and the entire book store was looking at him. His face got extremely red.

Lancer gave a little chuckle. “You are so cute when you get excited. Master gave me a little spending money let’s buy some of these books.”

“N-no! I couldn’t spend your money.”

“Cmon Saber it's a gift, besides I can find out anything about Rome on master’s computer, you obviously want these so let's do it!” Saber tried to put up more of an argument but eventually relented to Lancer’s demands.

Break

The two servants sat in silence in the cafe. Saber was reading a book on the myths of Egypt and Lancer was occupying herself by watching the excitement on his face.

“You’re very pretty when you’re focused like that you know.” Lancer broke the silence.

Saber blushed, put down his book, and took Lancer’s hand. “Alright t-that’s it, I can’t just sit by and let you continue to be the better partner. We’re going somewhere you want to go!”

Break

Lancer breathed deeply and checked her ammo. The laser pistol had recharged and now had five shots left. She had already eliminated all of Saber’s teammates and vice versa so it was one on one. She had already taken a hit and only one of her lives remained, but she knew one of her teammates had also winged Saber so they were on an even playing field.

In a situation like this there was no place for feelings, she was going all out. She reached deep and activated her Imperial Privilege and appropriated Presence Concealment. She blended into the shadows of the neon obstacle course and prepared for Saber to come by. Eventually Lancer sensed movement and shot two rounds into its center of mass. She was about to begin bragging about victory when she realized that it was just a limp piece of cloth.

Lancer moved only on instinct and it was that instinct that saved her as Saber came up from behind and tried to shoot her. She jumped away and saw him, standing sideways so that his chest targets weren’t visible from where she was. Saber had set up a powerful defense and laid a devious trap, but he had made one mistake.

He had gotten in range of Lancer’s speed! She leapt forward with her powerful leg muscles and even as he fired at her she predicted the path of the shots before they were fired using a borrowed Eye of the Mind. She skidded to a stop right in front of Saber, her gun right up against his chest and pulled the trigger; and nothing happened.

Lancer was so shocked she didn’t do anything when Saber pointed his gun at her chest, but a few feet away, and fired.

“The hell was that!?”

“Its a precaution to keep people from accidentally shooting themselves.” Saber explained. “W-within a certain range the sensors won’t read the lasers. I lost a life myself when I found out.”

Lancer groaned. “Ugh, that’s so lame. Whatever that was fun anyways, thanks for bringing me!” A large grin appears on her face.

“So we have about an hour until our masters will want to see us, how do you want to finish off today?”

“A-anything is fine with me. As long as I’m with you.” Saber said, and this time it was Lancer’s time to blush.

“Well in that case I know just the thing!”

Break

Lancer and Saber were standing on the roof of the tallest skyscraper looking at the setting sun. “It’s so beautiful.” Lancer said. “It seems that no matter where you are in the world sunsets are breathtaking. It makes me feel like I’m back home in Hispanic Ulterior.”

“I get what you mean.” Saber said. “When I was exiled I had to sleep in unfamiliar places with nobody I knew, yet the sunsets were always there. I always wondered if my friends back home could also see it and feel these same feelings.”

Lancer put a hand over Saber’s. “Well while we’re here together we don’t have to wonder. I am feeling the same things you are.” She leaned in. Saber did as well.

Even love can bloom on the battlefield.

Territory Creation
Rank: C+
A class skill usually held by the Caster class. Due to her training as a druid Olyndicus has this skill at a lowered rank. At this rank a nemeton can be created. A nemeton is the druidic worship alter, usually an ancient oak at the center of a grove of trees. At this spot Olyndicus can communicate with nature spirits and replenish mana.

Personal Skills:

Spoiler:

Charisma
Rank: B
Having B Rank in this Skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its Chieftain. The morale of military forces she commands is extremely high.

Magecraft
Rank: A+
Trained in the magecraft of the druids. Olyndicus can perform attacks, attack support, healing, etc. Through proper rituals future sight can be used.

Imperial Privilege
Rank: A
A skill normally reserved for emperors, and in particular can be considered a skill deeply associated with the Roman Emperors. In an attempt to emulate the great emperors of her beloved Rome Olyndicus forcibly acquired this skill. The skill is technically Imperial Privilege (False) but Olyndicus has hidden that from the master.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Spoiler:

Gae Assail
Unbridled Spear of Slaughter

Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army
Rank: B/A++
Range: 1-50
Max Targets: 1

Olyndicus was given a nameless magical silver spear to fight the roman occupation of Hispanic Ulterior. The nameless silver spear wielded by the Celtic god Lugus has taken the form when it had the most renown, being weld by Lugh the Long Arm, the conceptual descendent of Lugus.

Gae Assail has the ability to shoot out and hunt its opponents when the word ‘Ibar’ is said and returned when ‘Athibar’ is said. The speed of the spear is equivalent to a speeding locomotive and has the destructive power of a B rank Noble Phantasm.

That is only the least of Gae Assail’s abilities. The silver of the spear is in actuality a limiter to prevent the true power of the spear from destroying everything around it. When the true name of Gae Assail is released the silver coating is removed and the true power of the red spear is shown. In this form it gives the skill Mana Burst (Flame) at A+ and will periodically spit out fire without control. A second true name release will release a large torrent of flame to destroy everything around it in a large sphere.

Lore:

Spoiler:

Olyndicus was a Celtiberian chief who fought against the Roman praetor Lucius Canuleyus over his homeland Hispanic Ulterior. He was a prophet and gained a magical silver lance from the gods. That was all that was recorded of the brave druid chieftain of Hispanic Ulterior.

Olyndicus history was more complicated than that simple wikipedia article. She was born to one of the largest tribes of the area and was trained in druid craft and combat. Olyndicus excelled at all she tried, gaining respect from all. She was also kind, helping the farmers with their crops, the carpenters with their construction, the blacksmiths with their forging. No matter what needed to be done she would learn and master the skill simply to assist others.

This great passion for helping the tribe and learning knew things was why she was chosen as one of dozens of children sent to the Roman cities in an attempt to learn more about the enemy. This mission of hatred and deception melted away immediately however when Olyndicus fell in love with Roman culture. She learned as much as she could at Roman schools, she took in as much art as she could in Roman museums, she ate as much food as she could in Roman restaurants, and she made as many Roman friends as she could. This voracious appetite of all things Roman led her to meet the praetor in charge of Hispanic Ulterior, Lucius Canuleyus, and became close friends with her.

Despite being a Romabu Olyndicus never forgot about her people and would often lobby to give the Celtberian’s more rights, and even make them official Roman citizens. Unfortunately she was alone in this fight, despite Lucius being considering Olyndicus a good friend she though of her as a diamond in the rough, and the Celtberians did not want to be Roman’s they wanted their land back. Eventually she had to choose a side, her people and ancestral land, or the culture and friend she had fallen in love with.

Olyndicus was a Celtiberian chief who fought against her best friend Lucius Canuleyus over her homeland Hispanic Ulterior. She was a prophet and gained a magical silver lance from the gods. That was all of the woman who wanted both her families to be at peace.

Personality:

Spoiler:

Olyndicus is a kind soul who believes that there has to be a way for all things to coexist with one another, a lesson learned during her druid training. That does not mean she is afraid of battle though. Even when living in a Roman city she kept her fighting skills well trained and would sometimes fight in the coliseum. In her mind there is nothing that fosters mutual understanding more than an honorable duel.

She is also a giant nerd about Rome. From the moment she experienced the culture she became, essentially, a Romabu. Olyndicus even refers to her homeland by its Roman name. She will never manifest as her alternate class Caster because she loves the idea of being the same class as Romulus the great founder(although a clever master might be able to put her in a swimsuit if they point our Nero). Despite this obsession with Rome she loves her home and the people in it never forgetting the way of life they taught her of respecting the power of the land, she just thinks it would be super awesome if the two cultures could somehow combine.

Her wish on the Holy Grail was for the Celtiberians to peacefully merge with the Romans in Hispanic Ulterior to become one culture taking the best of both. With regards to her master she will often times become close friends with them unless they disrespect either Rome or the Celtiberians and she will sulk and refuse any orders.

Despite her Noble Phantasm coming from Lugh of Ireland she doesn’t feel any connection to them. When asked she will say ‘Huh? What do you mean Irish? This is a Celtberian/Roman hybrid super weapon!”

Bond:

Spoiler:

On Summoning:
“Lancer Olyndicus here to help! Let me show you how a Celtberian Roman does things.”

If you have summoned Romulus:
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! It’s the great founder!!!!!!!!”

If you have summoned a Roman Emperor:
“I just met an Emperor! How amazing!”

If you have summoned Boudica:
“I guess we could be considered similar, but I feel nothing like her. I feel awful my beloved Rome did those things but… I don’t know it’s hard.”

About the Holy Grail:
“Obviously I would wish for my people and the Romans to live in harmony. Who wouldn’t want they’re family to get along with the in laws?”

About her Likes:
“Things that I like? Isn’t it obvious? Rome of course! Oh and ice cream, so glad I was summoned after ice cream was invented.”

About their Dislikes:
“my dislikes? Conflict, weird from somebody who likes a good fight yeah; but when you fight with an open heart you can gain mutual understanding but when you are in conflict your hearts become closed off.”

Bond 1:
“Hey master! Need me for any missions, maybe ones in Rome!”

Bond 2:
“No! I do not reject my culture as a Celtberian! I am a Celtberian child born when Rome was occupying our land. Of course I consider myself a child of both worlds!”

Bond 3:
“I’ve always seen my spear as a sign I was right to push for peace. I mean, why wouldn’t the gods have given Assail to one of the more warlike druids. This spear is a Holy Symbol of my righteousness.”

Bond 4:
“Do, do you think they would like each other? If my people had met each other without the invasion could they have lived happily?”

Bond 5:
“I was close you know. I’m sure of it. If I had just a little bit of time I’m sure we could have all lived happily. Well anyways that’s neither here nor now let’s head out master!”

Bond Ce
The Silver Spear
You know I didn’t know that this thing had a name. I didn’t even bother to ask when Luges gave it to me. I just saw it as a tool I could use to force my peoples together. I can see the truth now though. The spear was more than that, it was supposed to be a symbol, one for my people to rally around. I don't think Lugus wanted me to bring peace, I think I may have been wrong this entire time.

Creator Notes:

So colonialism is bad, we should all agree on that. However Fate has always been history with the parental controls on so here’s the one Celtberian who was happy with the occupation of her ancestral lands. So that way of describing it is a little dumb I admit however I think that this conflict between someone who lives her home but is fascinated by the shiny new culture of the colonizers is interesting.

If any of you know about Olyndicus you also know that all of this is made up. The first part of the lore section is almost as long as all of the wikipedia page on him. The silver spear being connected to the Gae Assail is complete bogus and I got that from a random forum post with no historical backing. In the fate universe though I can justify by saying that the prototype of Lugh, Lugus, gave the spear and therefore it is Gae Assail, it was just nameless at the time. I also fused together Gae Assail with Lúin of Celtchar to make it more interesting.

By the way I know Olyndicus is way too strong for somebody with no renown but hey I’m sure there’s been similar cases in type moon before, even though I cannot think of any, or even find any after some research, well anyways its my sheet.

Also fun fact I only came up with the Romabu thing when I was writing the lore after all the skills, likes, and dislikes and had to back track a bit.

That explains where I remembered the flame aspects from! Either way, whilst I agree he is a little strong for his relatively low renown, you're right about canon already having examples of that. Either way, a well made sheet for a servant where little info is available, so very well done.

- - - Updated - - -

Also, whilst I don't know if you knew this, but there are some disputes in mythology to wether or not Lúin of Celtchar was Gae Assail, so you aren't baseless on the connection like some, so well done there!

Didn't Olyndicus die when s/he walked right up to an enemy camp at night and got hit by a javelin? I'm surprised you didn't mention that anywhere in the Lore section. Other than that, pretty interesting sheet.

I didn’t find anything about that in my research. Can you post a link to the source?
