When you say a "Dinosaur Servant", what exactly are we talking about?
Is it just a simple "I fused with the Megalosaurus I discovered" kind of deal?

Basically. Considering he had a habit of zoophagy and allegedly ate Louis XIV's heart, I didn't think it'd be that big of a stretch. How to interpret dinosaurs within "canon" is another question entirely, but Buckland himself left me some good material to use.
I guess it's just other than that he didn't contribute very much? It was a lot of propping up other people's ideas through his influence.
In a weird way is the answer.

NGL, I'm struggling to come up with ideas for him in the Berserker Class. Kinda feels like it restricts him a little too much since his method of fame was science based. :/Originally Posted by Bugs
FWIW, his work proved it was indeed possible to reconstruct pre-historic events through scientific analysis. Based on that, had I been the one making the Sheet I would've worked around that and made him a Caster Class Servant whose primary ability would be to reconstruct things from the ground, from buildings to animals or even ... an army of fossil knights. Basically the older the reconstruction the stronger the creation ends up i.e a modern fossil human is very weak but an ancient Jurassic dinosaur is like near Divine Beast level or something.
Of course that's just me rambling, take no notice and follow your heart's desire in creating a Sheet.

No no, thank you very much!
This is definitely part of why I struggled, Berserker was the only class I could think of that could possibly contain a dinosaur-humanoid, so I guess it was a mistake to work backwards from that concept in the first place. I also don't think I'm alone in getting tired of the concept of "artist/author/scientist=get in the Caster Class, peasant" but you've made a convincing argument for me to try it that way too.

I figured that Tawara's Bale of Inexhaustibility would counter the Black Rider's abilities as long as he doesn't stray too close (in which case Black Rule would probably kick in and start harming his NP). I slapped Spartacus as the Natural Enemy due to the oppression bit.
And I'd imagine all of the Horsemen share the "difficult to beat" part due to being much closer to concepts than Heroic Spirits. Of course, killing the Master is always a go-to solution.

Yeah, it's basically Marilyn Manson. Also, I like that "he" was written very similarly to how Pale Rider is depicted in FSF.

Also, about William Buckland, maybe he could have a similar Origin to Lio since he is most famous for eating things.
Buckland isn't like Tarrare, he definitely still belongs in the scientist caste, however his eating everything would play into the function Buckland thought dinosaurs provided in a pre-adamitic world.
I'll just keep working and let the thread get back on track

Well I guess that's really all up to how inexhaustible the bale of inexhaustibility is, although range wise he is an archer so he's got that down. It's your sheet so you decide how it interacts but I think in the narrative either Tawara would be the one to beat Black Rider after everyone fails then die of wounds because type moon.

James Ross: His first and last NPs are somewhat interesting, but you lose major points for blatantly copying most of his Skills and second NP from Funderful's James Ross sheet.
Like, dude, that's on this very same thread, how did you expect to get away with it? Furthermore, I might not've clued in right away if you hadn't referred to Ross as "her" in Insanity's description (obviously a relic of Funderful's genderbent version), so you're not just a plagiarist but a clumsy one as well. This is not a good impression to make. I don't mean to be needlessly harsh since there actually are some interesting ideas here in Ross's backstory and NPs, but making your very first sheet and post here a blatant plagiarism isn't going to win you any favors.

Hmm...seems there was a bit of confusion on my end. When you said "Göngu-Hrólf", I assumed you meant the Göngu-Hrólfs Saga but as it turns out you meant Göngu-Hrólf (Rollo) instead.
Oh well, it was still an entertaining read either ways and up to your usual standards. Kudos~

Likes: N/A(Due to Mad Enhancement)
Dislikes: N/A(Due to Mad Enhancement)
Talents: Murder
Armaments: Jawbone
Lore:
This is the biblical Berserker, son of Adam and Eve, brother of Abel, the first human to die. The beginnings of his story are the same as the biblical one, as Berserker, a farmer, murders his brother with a jawbone after his brothers offering to the lord was taken in higher consideration than his. In response, the lord cursed him to walk the earth forever and no longer be able to tend to the land.
Where the story differs is that Berserkerdoes live for eternity, living through the Age of Gods, Age of Man, the time of Notes, and then alone on the dead Earth until the death of the universe. During this time, Berserkereventually isolated himself from the world, unable to deal with forming connections to those who would be dead in the blink of his eye.
Due to this isolation, Berserkerwas left with only his thoughts for company. This constant thinking over events that in which he could clearly remember his actions, but not his reasons, eventually led him to feel remorse for his actions. This caused him to turn his hatred for the Abrahamic God and his brother onto himself, creating a cycle that eventually led him to insanity, and, therefore, his Berserker class.
Personality:
Berserkerdoesn’t truly manifest a personality in this form, as his madness enhancement has left him without enough reason to form tangible thought. However, on a subconscious level, his wish for the grail still drives him. To erase the moment, he murdered Abel from history, allowing him to die and his brother to live a full life.
Class Skills:
Mad Enhancement: B
Berserkerbenefits from the rank-up to his stats but suffers for the fact that he is no longer able to think clearly, limiting his utilisation of his second Noble Phantasm.
Magic Resistance: A+
Cancels all magecraft of A rank or bellow, no matter they High Thaumaturgy. Berserker has existed almost since the creation of the first man, and so has a ridiculous amount of Mystery, almost comparable to Divine Beasts like Bašmu. This means that when compared to modern magecraft he functions as a Magus Killer. He can even be said to be something that most Caster Servants would preferably avoid encountering
Personal Skills:
Killing Machine:A+++
A skill that marks it possessors as those that can be considered incarnations of murder. Killing Machine allows its wielders to utilise any item that comes into their possession as a tool for instilling death to other living beings. Berserkers’ version of this skill is the epitome as he is the Origin of the concept its basis stems from. This allows him to utilise any item that comes into his hands as an efficient killing tool.
Eternal Wanderer: EX
A skill that serves as Battle Continuation and Nature of a Rebellious Spirit of equal rank and boosts the servants Endurance to equal rank. Due to the lords’ curse on Berserkerthat he will walk the earth forever, he can only be defeated by the death of his master or critical damage to his Mana flow.
Opposition to the Gods:B+
A skill that acts like a specialised version of Counter Hero, causing any servant with Divinity to have a rank-down. In life Berserker murdered Abel, someone favoured by the Abrahamic God, and continued to found a civilization of people who scorned said God and ignored his teachings, the Cainites.
Noble Phantasm:
Mark of Cain:
Sevenfold Vengeance Granted by the Lord: A Anti-Unit(Self)
The cursed blessing placed upon Berserker by the Abrahamic God as punishment for his murder of his brother crystallised as a Noble Phantasm. This Noble Phantasm has a passive and active ability. It passively produces an invisible aura that causes plant life to die when any part of his body comes in contact with it. It actively has the ability to perform an attack seven times stronger than that which hit him.
The mark takes the form as a set of thick black lines in a symmetric pattern across his body, with a cross on his forehead. Despite their appearance as simple solid black markings, on closer inspection, the marks are revealed to be made up of intricate imagery inscribed in varying shades of black.
In his current state, Berserker is unable to exert any amount of control over the mark and so it is always in its active state. This manifests as a thick black miasma that seems to cling to Berserkers’ body, serving to hide his features.
Despite its overwhelming ability to incur damage seven times that dealt to him, Mark of Cain has five main faults:
First, due to the Noble Phantasms nature as being conveyed by the Abrahamic God, he is the only one it cannot affect. This fact is reflected by the flaw that items and magecraft with Holy properties can reduce the amount of damage incurred by the retaliation produced when they are used to harm Berserker, as they share the concept with the marks’ creator. Therefore, an item with EX rank Holy properties would have no retaliation, whilst an attack with A rank Holy properties would have an equal retaliation and so on.
Second, despite the fact the mark is a punishment, it falls under the definition of a blessing due to its protective nature. This means that its Holy properties will decrease the strength of attacks with cursed or Demonic properties proportional to the amount of power required to retaliate, going so far as nullifying the damage. Whilst this is a benefit, its drawback comes in the form that the retaliations strength is based on how much damage IS dealt, not SHOULD be dealt.
Third, when attacks containing divinity of any level encounter the mark, the two divinities come into conflict, causing a strange anomaly that causes the retaliation to form as an omni-directional wave, which greatly weakens the strength of the effect, instead of a precision counterstrike at the offending party.
Fourth, The Marks retaliation cannot change the underlining rank of the attack, and so it is more correct to describe the retaliation to a strike of E rank, for example, as seven of those same strikes performed at once, instead of a single E rank strike seven times more powerful.
Fifth and finally, the retaliation has a delay between the offending attack hitting, and the retaliation being launched that allows enemies to prepare defences or utilise the terrain to put objects between them and the attack to decrease its strength.
Father of Murder: [I know, not a great name. Still thinking of a better one]
Weapons Born from Death, To Bring Death:EX Anti-Unit/Anti-Life
Berserkers’ status as the forebearer of murderers crystallised as a Noble Phantasm as the ability to manifest any weapon that can be used for killing. These weapons manifest as the primordial blueprint for all weapons of their respective category, and so hold the strongest version of the concept to kill. Due to Berserkers class the true capabilities of this phantasm are unreachable, even through command seal.
Due to Mad Enhancement, Berserker does not have the mental fortitude necessary to manifest weapons more complex than a bow and arrow. Crossbows are beyond Berserkers’ mental abilities, let alone firearms or explosives.
For this same reason, Berserker is no longer able to incant the Aria needed to activate the weapons true Anti-Life ability. Therefore, Berserker can only use the passive ability that wounds created through these weapons cannot be healed through supernatural means, as any mystery that the wound comes in contact with causes it to become more severe.
Interesting Anecdotes:
All of Cains’ servant forms have the Noble Phantasms Mark of Cain: Sevenfold Vengeance Granted by the Lord and Father of Murder: Weapons Born from Death, To Bring Death
Of Cains’ servant forms, it is actually Assassin is actually his weakest, due to his relative youth when manifested in that form, followed by Avenger, due to his self-destructive nature, Berserker is next and Caster is his strongest, due to possessing amazing physical parameters for his class and masterful control of his Noble Phantasms.
Due to Cains’ origins being from before the Tower of Babel, he can speak the unified language, all though due to his inability to speak as a Berserker, it is not even worth mentioning.
Wow, that... That took me far longer than I expected. Hope you like it!

I've never really understood America's obsession with patriotism, but this Sheet is pretty funny. How much of a compliment this is coming from someone on the other side of the world whose sole experience with America was one trip to San Francisco over 15 years ago, I dunno, but still. I had a laugh.
