Monthly Create-A-Servant Contest

[DesReploid]

And just when I thought I was done making people from WW1 and WW2 and could focus on writting some folk-loric Servants this prompt rolls into town to ruin all my best laid plans.

Back to my old habits I go again!

[Legendary Hero of the Chain]

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe... This is going to be FUN. Now, which idea shall I use... or shall I break out some new ones?

This is definitely going to be fun.

Also, just a question that I assume has an obvious answer, but those with a foot in both fact and fantasy are also okay I assume?

[TYPE-Lune]

oh, new prompt. that explains all the new posts.

Well, as they say, historical facts don't care about your feelings. Mythology is for losers. Very curious to see what kind of builds people end up coming up with for Servants grounded in the real world...

[DrStein]

Let's GO!

The sheet I wanted to start working on is perfect for this!

[DracoScribe]

Historical Fact

Literature and Mythology are packed full with incredible, awe-inspiring characters who embody human virtues and vices—but so is History.


For this month’s prompt, how about you dazzle us with someone that once walked in this world, leaving behind tales to remember them by? Kings and commoners, writers and painters, men and women and, why not, even humans and animals alike... As long as they are beings that 「surely existed, one day in the past.」

nice meaty prompt

WELP. Time to hit the history books! Or more accurately Wikipedia and then more comprehensive/trustworthy stuff.
And also checking if anyone else did the Servant ideas I just thought of

But first!

I- Uh- What?...

I have no words. The last thing I expected was a random role-player to suddenly show up.

...I was working with my nervousness. I don't always roleplay like that.

Only when it feels funn/appropriate to me. :V

I will yank that cover off, young lady. You better have a sheet under there. (He says, side-eyeing his Avestan Lostbelt)

GAH. NO. MY HORDE!

Okay more seriously, I'mma try my best! I read quite a few of the sheets for the contest and it shot right at my low self confidence looks so fun! Hopefully I can at least do decently...because I'm not too confident about ranking skills and NPs.

Huh, a new person and one who have a character? Hell yeah, welcome!

Thanks for the welcome! Though, uh, just to be clear, I don't exactly keep up a "character"...that's just me going "hi im nervous and will show it like this byeeee" because that is apparently how I work. So yeah.

Best of luck to the other participants! May your research not make you wanna tear your hair out!

Cuz damn has it made me feel like that before...

[Vance]

"This world is brimming with potential. Do long as humans of in the effort, they can realize true greatness. Make it a reality. The muscles of nonfiction surpass even the most masterful works Fiction writers can dream up.
However, if some Lady of the Lake rose up out of the water and offered you any book in the world, no one would ask for a history book.
That's because reality isn't very fun."

Let's right the history books of the future then, shall we.

Damn, did you just make up this quote? Cause it is really good!

[WhiteFrenzy]

I'm mad now that I didn't went with morbin month.

Also, just a question that I assume has an obvious answer, but those with a foot in both fact and fantasy are also okay I assume?

Huh... I'd rather have this going like, a Charlemagne/Karl thing because at least we know that Karl existed.

But, this prompt's only limitation is you guys' imagination, truly. I mean, Abigail is considered a historical fact servant... EDISON is considered a historical fact servant and you know *gestures at them and so many others hit by the Shenanigans™ *

[DrStein]

Don't worry, Draco. This part of the forum is a very welcoming community now a days.

Aside from Nine, but he's literally a kid.

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

To be fair to Edison, all his weird stuff is explicitly add-ons to help him deal with the Fifth Singularity. In a normal summon he'd be a more "normal" Caster Edison.

[Vididii]

Yooooo, historical? Fuck yeah, let’s ball out- fits my Halloween-y concept too, but that’ll be my second.

You can always ask others. Most people here are open to it.

Damn, did you just make up this quote? Cause it is really good!

If only, but I love it. That Man has some great quotes.

[kiwi]

wait shit i thought the funny vamp morbius thing was real and was hype i had a great idea

[MuramasaMachII]

Is it bad that I'm close to finishing my contest entry?

[Morg van Destro]

wait shit i thought the funny vamp morbius thing was real and was hype i had a great idea

My new platform: vote for me and I will bring morbin time to life! I will give you the contest the old guard don't want you to have!
Or because you like my entries. Either works.

[RoydGolden]

If only, but I love it. That Man has some great quotes.

From Guilty Gear?

[Morg van Destro]

From Guilty Gear?

Yep. Technically, it was Happy Chaos, but he went by That Man somewhere in the timeline, and That Man is going by his real name now.

[Vididii]

Best of luck to the other participants! May your research not make you wanna tear your hair out!

Eyyy, you too mate, best of luck with your first!

Welcome, new people making sheets are always a good thing. It's always so interesting to see different styles and imaginations at work. I can't wait for you to drop your first servant.

...I was working with my nervousness. I don't always roleplay like that.

Only when it feels funn/appropriate to me. :V

It's fine, really. I honestly was just surprised because it blindsided me. You do you, I've got no problem with it.

[NailsInYourFeet]

Little disappointed that you didn't mention his connection with HRE generalissimo Albrecht von Wallenstein, since personally that was always something I found interesting about Kepler (admittedly I'm biased since I've been wanting to do a Wallenstein sheet myself, not sure if it'll be a Contest submission though).

Really like that you referenced Somnium though, at least I think what's what the thing with the Moon Cell is alluding too

[Spelror]

GOOD LORD

i don't know if mine fits the prompt but I guess I'll give it a go (Even though I have exams tomorrow)

But let's do it anyways

[AndrosTC]

Damn three whole page emerged out of thin air and a sheet already been made simply because Aster commented on something being a good idea
