The teachings of Hippocrates as well as the medical knowledge that was acquired by humanity sublimated into a Noble Phantasm of the Father of Medicine that encompasses all medical achievements and "victories". It enables Hippocrates upon the true name release to scan the body of the target for all defects or problems and start to restore it completely by excising them and regenerating the body of the patient completely. All cells are detoxed, all damaged areas return to healthy state, actual diseases fully vanish, body parts that have became numb and functionless regain their function, parts that are missing like lost limbs grow back to the state they had at the start, all functionless scar tissue starts to execute its former duty, all senses like eyes or ears that lost their sharpness are healed to peak performance, the brain is rejuvenated.

Other said this Noble Phantasm cures the target from all mundane illnesses as well as even removing bad status effects and negating thaumaturgical curses below the divine level. But even then Hippocrates is able to save his patient as long as he/she is living.

But although this Noble Phantasm holds the power of miraculous rehabilitation, miracles are not easily reproduceable so certain conditions must be met. First the patient has to have the will to survive in decent strength. Second: the procedure is not without pain so they feel the healing very blithely as the detoxing and repairing of the cells feels like an inner heat of fire and parts that regrow respectively were formerly numb inflict sensations of bruising as if the skin and tissue under it were ripping, and the sense that regaining their (or finally obtaining) peak performance are painful as the patient is now confronted with the newly sharp perception of the world for awhile. Third: the target must possess a strong mental fortitude as the shock of the sensations can itself be lethal especially if the target was heavily injured.

So Hippocrates does not use it lightmindedly.

The Oath of Hippocrates sublimated as a Noble Phantasm. At the beginning of the medical evolution as the occupation of a physician was more apprentice than student-wise learnt every finished medic had to swear the oath of Hippocrates ,the Codex of the Doctorate. While today that oath is no longer upheld in its formal meaning, the guidelines of medicine even today share procedures over 80% the same which are included in the laws that bind hospitals. So the oath pioneered by him is even today passed upon the next generation of doctors.

As a Noble Phantasm this enables Hippocrates to summon the medics that partook the vow either directly or by continuing his legacy. They appear mostly as Phantoms clad in doctor or nurse uniforms that man the hospital he creates. The Phantoms still possess their former personality and gain a boost in their abilities from Hippocrates' Father of Medicine Skill. Furthermore Hippocrates is able to summon with this Noble Phantasm even other "Healer" type Heroic Spirits which could perhaps even provide an advantage directly in a combat situation as virtually all Phantoms are non-combatants. But here also he insists on only using these aspects as last resort or if truly necessary for the situation.

Class Skills

Personal SkillsRats in the Walls (B+)
A skill named for one of Berserker’s most famous short stories. In the story, a man named Delapore suffers crippling bouts of paranoid schizophrenia, which are further escalated by a sanity-demolishing revelation about his own history. The story culminates in the Delapore’s murder and subsequent devouring of a close friend, and his suffering from perpetual auditory hallucinations for the rest of his life.
Berserker himself, in this state, suffers from much the same madness as Delapore did. Berserker is constantly the victim of auditory hallucinations and vivid waking dreams of horrible crimes against humanity. This skill allows Berserker to channel this mental illness to any victims within range.
Triggered by reciting an incantation hidden within Delapore’s mad ramblings at the end of the story, Berserker forces victims to immediately begin a descent into the same insanity from which Berserker is a victim. The effects echo the events of the story; a victim will first suffer from auditory hallucinations at inopportune moments, causing them to become easily distracted, hearing skittering and chirping from inside walls, floors, ceilings, and objects. These hallucinations will become more common over time, eventually following the victim at every waking moment.

Of course, as with Delapore, sleep is no solace. A human victim will suffer from the same vivid nightmares as Berserker, the dreams of horrors following them without failure whenever their eyes close for even a few moments. A Servant will not be exempt from this fate, of course; instead of taking the form of dreams, Servants will suffer from visual hallucinations of these horrors whenever their Master sleeps. What should be a time to peacefully restore mana will become an inescapable hell for both Master and Servant. When the madness reaches its zenith, any but the most resilient victim is many times more susceptible to other mental debuffs.
The effects of this skill do not vanish immediately upon Berserker’s death. Were Berserker to die, the victims' madness would suddenly peak, the most horrible dream or hallucination of them all accompanying them the next time they or their Master are forced to sleep. This would be the last of the effects; upon waking from this next dream, the victim will suddenly find all the hallucinations gone. However, the ability to survive the final dream mentally unscathed would require an absolutely remarkable amount of mental fortitude, though this fortitude is far more common amongst Servants than mortals.

Legacy of Corruption (EX)-
A skill rather similar to Rats in the Walls, but overall much more powerful. Triggered only upon Berserker’s death, if Berserker curses the victim to suffer from this skill in the moment of his death. The limits to who may be cursed are rather intense; only somebody with whom Berserker is personally familiar may be made a victim of this incantation. While there is no requirement that Berserker know the victim’s true name or face, he must have a familiarity with the victim’s past, their dreams, their hopes, their fears. Due to these powerful limiters, it would be most common for Berserker to curse his own master.
There is no malice in this curse; in Berserker’s own life, those first “cursed” with carrying on his legacy were his closest friends, the only people he truly ever trusted. Uttering this incantation is not even a conscious decision, for Berserker. Upon realizing that he is about to die, Berserker’s mouth will simply move, as if by instinct, muttering a final blessing for the one whom he cares about the most.
The unlucky recipient of Berserker’s last gift will immediately inherit all of the illness he has been suffering from through the entirety of his summoning. As a Heroic Spirit famed for his mental illness, Berserker’s mental resilience is many times greater than even the most mentally sound magus. Any human receiving his madness would immediately suffer an absolute mental break. Whatever person was there before Berserker’s death, is no longer present.
The reason this skill is rated as S will very quickly become apparent to any unfortunate enough to witness the victim’s brain shattering.
H.P Lovecraft, in a typical Holy Grail War, only fits the Servant containers for Caster and Berserker. Outside of a typical Holy Grail War, however, Lovecraft is by a wide margin the most viable Heroic Spirit for appearing as a Foreigner.
This is the power of Berserker’s Legacy of Corruption. The person closest to Berserker, an unfortunate soul who poured any amount of themselves into the broken man, will immediately manifest weaker versions of H.P Lovecraft’s abilities as a Foreigner. They, themselves, will become a Foreigner psuedo-Servant, the legacy of the 20th Century’s most influential horror writer transforming them into a walking embodiment of any and all mental illnesses the man was suspected of suffering in life.
Though their mana pool will be significantly smaller than Lovecraft’s would be, this new psuedo-Servant would develop powers unique to each casting of this skill. Specifically, the skills and Noble Phantasm the psuedo-Servant receives would be based on their overall mental state before being cursed by Berserker’s last words. Each skill set would take influence from a different famous story of Lovecraft’s, with the psuedo-Servant’s parameters being chosen based on the level of mental illness and lingering trauma the person they were before suffered from.

Information Perversion (C-)-
Information Erasure, in its normal form, is a skill which causes memories of an encounter with a Servant possessing the skill to fade over time, making it difficult to gauge who the Servant in question is.
Berserker’s version of the skill is somewhat different, and takes influence from a central theme of many of his most influential stories. In these stories, a character will become entranced with a topic, utterly obsessed with finding the truth behind a question. Upon reaching this truth, the character will go mad, as whatever truth they discovered is too much for their mind to handle.
Berserker's Information Perversion works in much a similar way. After encountering Berserker in a supernatural situation, those with lower mental resistance than Berserker’s rank in this skill will suffer a sudden compulsion. This compulsion will be the desire to discover who Berserker truly is; to discover how and why he possesses the supernatural powers that he does.
As Berserker’s rank in the skill is relatively low, this desire is not particularly strong, but is ever-present. It takes the form of a constant, nagging urge to investigate the strange man that has seldom left their thoughts since the moment they first encountered his strange abilities. Those of weak mental fortitude will gradually become more obsessed, but never to a degree of outright madness.
Were a victim of this skill to ever discover the truth of Berserker’s identity, of the constant mental hell he suffers, they would take a large amount of sudden mental damage. Even those who are already familiar with the world of magus and the Heroic Spirit system would react significantly more severely than would be logical for one with that existing knowledge. The mental damage triggered by this discovery is enough to turn most into mentally broken shells of the people they once were, though almost all trained magus do possess the mental fortitude to reduce the damage enough to survive the sudden blow of absurdity and madness.

Noble PhantasmAt the Mountains of Madness (With Strange Aeons, Even Death May Die) (A+)-
A Noble Phantasm bearing the name of one of Berserker’s most influential works, and one unique to his Berserker form. The biting horror which Berserker felt upon learning of the stunningly massive chains of mountains covering much of the Antarctic landmass manifests in this Noble Phantasm. Specifically, Berserker was terrified at the concept of the enormous systems of caves running through and below this mountain chain, and what he feared may dwell within those caves, hidden from humanity for as long as the species has walked the Earth.
This Noble Phantasm takes the form of a Reality Marble, on a particularly massive scale. Upon the activation of the Reality Marble, all those within range suddenly find themselves at the base of a mind-bogglingly gigantic mountain, deep within a mountain chain taller than the Himalayas. The sheer cold of the landscape, the severe winds running off of the mountain, the cutting blows of snow blowing at any trapped within the Reality Marble immediately deals heavy damage to any humans incapable of dealing with the sudden teleportation.
For those capable of surviving the Antarctic winter for more than a few minutes, there is only one way to escape Berserker’s Noble Phantasm.
True to the Reality Marble’s namesake, near the spot where the Marble activates is a hidden cave, bearing inside of it unspeakably ancient ruins. These ruins bear the sole exit deep within them; for a victim to exit Berserker’s Noble Phantasm, they must discover the "Truth buried within, as in Berserker’s novella.
The ruins themselves seem to be specifically designed to be as mentally damaging to navigate as would be possible. They were not built for humans, and even most Servants would find their mental resistances lowered by the labyrinthian layout of the horrifically ancient site.
Scattered throughout the labyrinth are less powerful "Truths”, taking the form of the endless number of theories of what, exactly, the "Truth'' that William Dyer and his team found within that mountain. These relics activate only when closely examined; simply glancing at them while pushing deeper into the Reality Marble will do no mental damage, nor will the act lower one’s mental resistances. However, these objects or entities do hold their own power. Each "False Truth'' within the ruins possesses a weaker version of Berserker’s own Information Perversion skill; even that simple glance triggers a mental resistance check.
If failed, a weak urge to learn more about the object fills the victim. A single instance of this weakened Information Perversion is merely enough to surface within the victim a tiny nagging feeling of “this could be interesting”. Despite this weak effect, each of the endless number of "False Truths” within Berserker’s Noble Phantasm possess their own instance of Information Perversion. Were a victim to suffer multiple failed checks, this nagging urge to investigate each and every "False Truth” they develop an interest in would grow, further and further, lowering the victim’s mental resistances with every subsequent failed check. Eventually, even if somehow released from Berserker’s Reality Marble, a victim who reaches this point would be rendered mentally broken, becoming a feeble mess incapable of even feeding themselves.
Despite the labyrinthian nature of the ruins, it is not impossible to reach the deepest chamber within Berserker’s Noble Phantasm, the room in which William Dyer’s own mind shattered.
Within this room lies the "Truth” of the ruins, the "Truth” of Berserker’s own madness, theorized about endlessly since his ascension to Heroic Spirit.
This "Truth” possesses an EX ranked instance of Information Perversion, making it practically impossible to resist the urge to examine it. Upon doing so, the Reality Marble immediately collapses in on itself, shattering around the exact location of the "Truth”.
The weight of this collapse, as well as the nature of Berserker’s "Truth”, deals a stunning amount of mental damage, enough to render most Servants absolutely mad. A mental resistance check is rolled upon the victim’s realization of the "Truth”, with the full rating of the Noble Phantasm itself. For any to survive this "Truth” without suffering a total mental break, their mental resistance must be at least A+ rank.
Of course, such an absurdly massive Reality Marble takes a massive amount of mana to maintain. Under normal situations, it is highly improbable for one with even as much mana as Berserker to be able to keep his Noble Phantasm active for any longer than ten minutes. As well, were Berserker to be killed, the Reality Marble would immediately fade, with all mental effects from any "False Truths” immediately vanishing with Berserker.

BackgroundA man whose name, in the 21st century, requires very little introduction. Berserker is, of course, none other than Howard Phillips Lovecraft, one of the most influential writers to emerge from the pulp fiction magazine scene of the early 20th century. Lovecraft’s work defined and named a genre of horror focusing on not just the metaphysical, but on any and all horrors explicitly beyond the comprehension of those who discover them.
Lovecraft, as a writer, absolutely adored and admired the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Despite this obvious inspiration, Lovecraft’s works moved beyond the gothic horrors of Poe. Lovecraft, as a man, was terrified of different things than Poe; terrors which would prove, in time, to resonate with an increasingly large percentage of the populace. While Poe’s personal terrors lay in the trappings of 19th century society, and all the horrors that could be hidden beneath the surface of those deceptive pleasantries, Lovecraft’s fears lay far beyond human society.
Even in his more grounded works, more reminiscent of his inspirations like Poe and Mary Shelly, Lovecraft deals with a topic that neither writers regularly did more than brush upon.
Namely, Lovecraft’s stories, as a general rule, grapple with sanity, with mental illness, with trauma. Lovecraft protagonists rarely make it through a story sane, if alive at all. With few exceptions, his works tackle horrors beyond the mental grasp of a mortal human. Excessive acts of violence and brutality, the descent of the protagonists’ fellow man, and buried crimes against humanity are but a few of the horrors which trigger these mental breaks.
Most famous, and influential, however, is the abject sense of terror with which Lovecraft writes the metaphysical. “Gods” so far beyond human understanding that simply learning of their nature, let alone viewing them, can shatter one’s mind. Scientific phenomena far from the natural states of the Earth, impossible to even describe, let alone properly understand.
In Lovecraft’s Caster and Foreigner forms, powers influenced by these most influential of his works would make up the majority of his skillset. In his Berserker form, however, something different manifests.
Since the man’s death in 1937, a remarkable deal of work has been written regarding his mental state. Whether or not the man was, in life, a mentally crippled victim of inherited schizophrenias, an anxiety-riddled rich man terrified of his own shadow, or a bigot with such intense hatreds that his mental state was profoundly affected, the Throne of Heroes cares little.
Lovecraft was, in the popular mindset, unquestionably a madman, a man suffering from at least some level of mental affliction. In his Caster or Foreigner states, the Servant Lovecraft can, to some degree, deal with the mental illnesses he bears. While by no means a mentally sound Servant, these forms are capable of some level of mental stability, at least at times.
As a Berserker, the mental illnesses of his father are not just present, but enhanced to a degree that even the most mentally crippled interpretation of Lovecraft in life would not have been able to bear. All the writings on his mental state, his creation of an entire genre of horror heavily focused on the mental collapse of its protagonists, and the mental illnesses common within his own works, have been forced upon this Servant by the Throne of Heroes.
Berserker is constantly riddled by such severe hallucinations that, without the power of a command spell keeping them at least slightly in check, the Servant would usually be incapable of even rational thought, striking out hopelessly at the apparitions that never leave his side. He would, in this state, reach a level of even slight mental clarity only when his Master slept, bearing half of the Heroic Spirit’s horrors, or when his victims were suffering from the sanity slippage which all of his skills are capable of triggering.
Even when his burdens are shared, Lovecraft Berserker is a remarkably non-traditional Berserker. His physical capabilities are effectively null, being famed as a shut-in who frequently suffered from physical illness, due in part to his fear of doctors causing him to refuse treatment. Despite not being a trained magus in life, however, his Madness Enhancement and popular association with the supernatural has given him an absurd mana capacity.
This mana capacity, however, is not even particularly useful in combat, as the Servant is incapable of any immediately effective spells. Berserker is, in skillset, significantly more effective at mentally attacking his opponents from afar. Should Berserker manage to get even a single cast on a target, all but the most mentally resistant would be unable to escape suffering severe impact on their sanity. A particularly cruel (or desperate) Master would find that a gathering, horde, or even city full of civilians suffering inescapable mental breaks would make for quite the distraction. Amongst Heroic Spirits on the Good or Neutral ends of the alignment spectrum, there are few capable of resisting the impact on the psyche that having to slaughter civilians suffering from this corruption would cause.

PersonalityBerserker is, at his worst, a man so desperate for mental clarity that he would cast his skills on his own Master to share that load even for a moment. At this level, his Madness Enhancement would be such that he would only be capable of uttering the gibberish characteristic to Berserkers. Muttering utter nonsense to himself, carving meaningless (?) runes and characters into whatever surfaces he can, screaming in fits of terror at particularly horrible hallucinations, attempting to claw out his own eyes while roaring in madness. This is the extent of Berserker’s “personality” when his mental illness is born only by himself.
Were Berserker’s madness to be restricted by a command spell, or by casting his skills on enough (or mentally resistant enough) victims to clear his psyche by a fair amount, a “true” personality emerges.
Berserker, with his leash loosened, is a stunningly humble man, one saddled with a great deal of regret at the actions he had to take in order to reach the point of maintaining sustained conversation. He is, in accordance with modern interpretations, a stunningly bigoted man, at least at first. Were he to recognize that his Master were a person of color, or some form of gender or sexual minority, Berserker would be at first horrified at his position of subservience to people whom, in his mind, were “below” him. Berserker would, however, still obey his Master, regardless of who they are. This is because of his wish for the Holy Grail.
Above all else, Berserker longs to be free of the horrors forced upon him by the Throne of Heroes. Even in a “more stable” state, Howard Phillips Lovecraft would be utterly incapable of resisting any attempt to allow his mind to be free of the constant skittering, chattering, muttering of hallucinations.
He would feel great regret, of course, at the atrocities one would have to commit in order to acquire the Grail with such a weak Servant.
The pull of the Grail, however, is too much for him to shake off. No matter how much blood he has to drench his hands in, however many people he must reduce to shivering, whimpering lumps, he *MUST* reach the Grail.

Lovecraft: Pretty cool sheet there. Even if the core concept is a little on-the-nose, you took it in an interesting direction. Skills are fitting and well fleshed out, and his NP is a clever idea with the multiple false "truths" representing how the true cause of Lovecraft/Dryer's madness is unknown. I will note though that S-ranks don't exist in canon, so you should probably change those to EX, A+ or something.

Lore

Caster’s true identity is Yekaterina Alekseyevna Romanova, though she is better known as Catherine the Great, the Star of the North.

Modern history recognizes Catherine the Great variably as a magnificent empress of Russia, an enlightened despot and a foreign usurper. Though hailing from Europe, she eventually came to sit upon the throne of Russia.
She came to power following a coup d'état that she organised—resulting in her husband, Peter III, being overthrown. Under her reign, Russia was revitalised; it grew larger and stronger, and was recognised as one of the great powers of Europe.
In her accession to power and her rule of the empire, Catherine often relied on her noble favourites, most notably count Grigory Orlov and Grigory Potemkin. Assisted by highly successful generals such as Alexander Suvorov and Pyotr Rumyantsev, and admirals such as Fyodor Ushakov, she governed at a time when the Russian Empire was expanding rapidly by conquest and diplomacy. In the south, the Crimean Khanate was crushed following victories over the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Turkish wars, and Russia colonised the territories of Novorossiya along the coasts of the Black and Azov Seas. In the west, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, ruled by Catherine's former lover, King Stanisław August Poniatowski, was eventually partitioned, with the Russian Empire gaining the largest share. In the east, Russia started to colonise Alaska, establishing Russian America.
Catherine reformed the administration of Russian guberniyas, and many new cities and towns were founded on her orders. An admirer of Peter the Great, Catherine continued to modernize Russia along Western European lines. However, military conscription and the economy continued to depend on serfdom, and the increasing demands of the state and of private landowners intensified the exploitation of serf labor. This was one of the chief reasons behind several rebellions, including the large-scale Pugachev Rebellion of Cossacks and peasants.
Catherine decided to have herself inoculated against smallpox by a British doctor, Thomas Dimsdale. While this was considered a controversial method at the time, she succeeded. Her son Pavel was later inoculated as well. Catherine then sought to have inoculations throughout her empire and stated: "My objective was, through my example, to save from death the multitude of my subjects who, not knowing the value of this technique, and frightened of it, were left in danger". By 1800, approximately 2 million inoculations (almost 6% of the population) were administered in the Russian Empire.
The period of Catherine the Great's rule, the Catherinian Era, is considered the Golden Age of Russia. The Manifesto on Freedom of the Nobility, issued during the short reign of Peter III and confirmed by Catherine, freed Russian nobles from compulsory military or state service. Construction of many mansions of the nobility, in the classical style endorsed by the Empress, changed the face of the country. She enthusiastically supported the ideals of the Enlightenment and is often regarded as an enlightened despot. As a patron of the arts she presided over the age of the Russian Enlightenment, including the establishment of the Smolny Institute for Noble Maidens, the first state-financed higher education institution for women in Europe.

Beyond what written history records, Catherine’s European family, the Anhalt, were followers of magus tradition. When she became empress of Russia, Catherine rejected her past, forging a new tradition according to the beliefs of her new homeland. The traditions that she established would later result in the shamanistic traditions of the Romanov dynasty.
There are rumours in some circles that she also discovered the fabled Lost Library of Ivan the Terrible, or at least part of it. Perusal of its contents would explain certain aspects of Catherine’s ability as a magus, though she would likely have hidden any Western influences she deemed backwards or corruptive found within. It is possible, however, that she hid some of what she may have found in her personal library.

Personality

A beautiful, serene woman of indeterminate age. As the empress of Russia, her cold and intractable demeanour and expression are something foisted upon her. Her personality beneath this mask, however, is quite delightful, and she seems like a curious young woman. She delights in and actively seeks out praise, whether regarding her abilities or appearance. Catherine also has a habit of making snap judgments on important matters, seemingly without thought, though things usually work out well. She highly values Russia and its people, though she is not above co-opting Western standards and ideals for use for the sake of her countrymen.
Still, Catherine’s almost flighty personality hides a far more ruthless side. She is fully capable of acting coldly and without mercy if the situation calls for it, regardless of whether her target is an ally or an enemy. She is also adaptable, even accepting her summoning under a despised Western ritual as long as the situation benefits her. However, Catherine also possesses a great weakness, namely the attention of handsome young men.
Due to her skill in politics, Catherine usually manages to get along with most Heroic Spirits, treating each with the respect their station deserves without reducing the value of her own station. Naturally, there are still some that she cannot get along with, chief among them tricksters and manipulators, particularly if they are European in origin. Though she has no enmity towards Europe in general, the use of Western influence to stunt or manipulate her Russia is something she cannot abide. Catherine also possesses a strange affinity for those that are forsaken, be they villains or monsters, rejected by human society. She seems to be drawn to such individuals, pacifying and comforting them to the best of her ability. Due to her ideals, Catherine wonders as to the influence the Holy Grail War ritual might have on those heroes that it summons, owing to the rituals origin and the importance placed upon fame.
Due to her distrust of mages, particularly Western ones, as well as her authority as an empress, Catherine refuses to subject herself to the servitude of a Master. She refers to her Master as a ‘Prozhektyor’, a derogatory term for a Western mage, and acts coldly toward them if they press the issue. If her Master recognizes their place, however, Master and Servant can get along amicably. Particularly in the case that her Master is a man, she might even come to view them as a favorite, a position with considerable advantages. Naturally, a Master with Russian roots would be viewed in a different light.
Catherine’s wish to the Holy Grail is not entirely clear, as she desires a great many things. Life as ‘just Catherine’, the glory of Russia, the erasure of the slander that followed her reign, true love… Her experiences in the Holy Grail War would likely help her decide.

**Spartacus** · April 21st, 2020, 12:44 PM

Catherine the Great:
As she is one of my favorite historical person, a little bit of criticism here.

I don't think Catherine the Great is the right person to be taken as someone that "dislikes Western influence." It is true that her main pretext on usurping her husband is that a foreign culture threatened Russia, and it is true that she tried so hard to learn and assimilate everything Russian to her life. But I think we shouldn't overlook that she is the queen that wanted Europe's recognition, heavily promote arts of European origin, a total sucker of French Enlightenment, uses Western education model as a way to improve Russia. Many of the highlights found on her library are also from outside of Russia, she also disregards Russian grammar in favor of German on many of her writing in her latter days.

She is far from a Western hating character.

**Shiki-pon** · April 21st, 2020, 12:58 PM

Mostly the idea was to promote a "Russian Version" of ideals and ideas from elsewhere. Though she is indeed very much a proponent of the Enlightenment (at least before the French Revolution went overboard) and Western literature in general (mostly because its the framework she has to work with, Russia not actually having much of anything like that before her reign).
I guess I oversold the anti-Western thing a bit too much, though nowhere in the sheet does it actually say that she hates the West (dislikes yes, hates no). She did, however, denounce several Western influences during her life, and heavily promoted Russian culture (along the principles of the Enlightenment, anyway). Granted the implied library purge might be going a bit too far.

**Spartacus** · April 21st, 2020, 01:05 PM

mm, I have nothing against Catherine the Great the promoter of a Russian ideal, and I suppose I am in the wrong that I use the word 'hate' here.

**Shiki-pon** · April 21st, 2020, 01:11 PM

It was still a good point. I didn't really notice how much I was leaning on that anti-Western throttle.

The life of Marie Curie contains prodigies in such number that one would like to tell her story like a legend.

She was a woman; she belonged to an oppressed nation; she was poor; she was beautiful. A powerful vocation summoned her from her motherland, Poland, to study in Paris, where she lived through years of poverty and solitude. There she met a man whose genius was akin to hers; She married him; their happiness was unique. By the most desperate and arid effort they discovered a magic element, radium.

This discovery not only gave birth to a new science and a new philosophy: it provided mankind with the means of treating dreadful diseases, the ways to generate power more efficiently than ever before, and the knowledge to build weapons of mass destruction.

At the moment when the fame of the two scientists and benefactors was spreading through the world, grief overtook Marie: her husband, her wonderful companion, was taken from her by death in an instant. But in spite of distress and physical illness, she continued alone the work that had been begun with him and brilliantly developed the science they had created together.

The rest of her life resolves itself into a kind of perpetual giving. To the war wounded she gave her devotion and her health. Later on she gave her advice, her wisdom and all the hours of her time to her pupils, to future scientists who came to her from all parts of the world.

When her mission was accomplished she died exhausted, having refused wealth and endured her honors with indifference.

PARAMETERS

STR: A

END: D-

AGL: E

MGI: A

LCK: C

NP: A+

CLASS SKILLS

Item Construction: B+

A Caster-class Skill; it is the Skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. A twice Nobel winning scientist, Marie is create items and tools ranging from poisons, weapons, and even vehicles.

Combined with skills such as Transmute Element, her unique Medical Technique and with a little experimentation, Marie can cause mutations on living beings, allowing her to genetically modify them to enhance them beyond their normal capability. “Does it work on spiritual bodies too? Good question, let’s find out shall we…”

Territory Creation: C

A Caster-class Skill; it is the Skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana. Creation of a Laboratory becomes possible. “It’s nothing special, just a regular chemistry laboratory.” She would say, but in truth, if you may develop cancer if you stand around for too long.

PERSONAL SKILLS

Transmutation (Artificial): B

The ability that represents the goal of the alchemists of old, a capability granted by what they call the Philosopher’s Stone, the transmutation of elements. In Marie’s case, by bombarding substances with enough radiation, an artificial transmutation of element can be achieved.

Transmuting a kilogram of lead into same amount of gold is considerably more energy consuming than through regular alchemical process, but Marie is more interested in its biological application. “How about transmuting the flesh in your arm into gold, are you interested, hmm?”

Medicine (Radiology): A+

Medical technique that utilizes radiology, using tools such as x-rays and radiation, it is a technique that Marie herself developed and tested right on the battlefield of World War I. It combines Human Anatomy Understanding, Medical Technique and to some degree, Nurse of Steel skills, allowing Marie to peer right thought the patient’s body and treat where it is needed. “Don’t worry, you don’t need to distance yourself, if you ever develop cancer from being near me, I can just beam concentrated radiation to pulverize it right from your body.”

Monstrous Mutation: C

A skill that provides a rank up to a parameter in exchange of rank down in other parameters, in this case, by sacrificing endurance to boost strength, it is caused by a mutation in one’s body. In Marie’s case, it is the side effect of accumulating radiation in her body.

Similarly to Self-Modification, it is possible to adjust the rank and nature of mutation, and thus rank of this skill, to adapt to different circumstances. Combined with her other skills, it is also possible to induce this mutation on others.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Promieniotwórczy

Half-Life of a Radiant Star

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Unit (Self)

A Noble Phantasm that embodies Marie Curie’s life of selfless devotion, as described by her daughter, the immovable structure of a character; the stubborn effort of an intelligence; the free immolation of a being that could give all and take nothing, “a being of perpetual giving” so to speak, an existence akin to a radioactive atom eternally radiating away.

In other words, it is none other than the concept of radioactivity, which Marie discovered, sublimated into a Radioactive Saint Graph. As a Servant, Marie is constantly oozing high-energy from her body radiation to her surroundings, ionizing everything it touches, including spiritual bodies such as Servants. However, this means that Marie herself is slowly radiating away, in a circumstance similar to a Servant without a Master.

To prevent this, Marie can spend extra magical energy to prevent the radiation from leaking from her body. This increases her magical energy consumption, but allows her to "regenerate" her Saint Graph. But even in this state, Marie is still as radioactive as a radium ore. She could completely suppress her radiation by wearing leaded armor, only then anyone could get approach her without getting acute radiation syndrome.

Promieniotwórczy Marzanna

The Winter Fallout Drowns Under the Sun’s Radiance

Rank: EX

Type: Anti-Self

A Noble Phantasm that represents Marie Curie’s life work that causes and culminates in her death—and led to countless others in the future. The conclusion of what she dedicated her life researching, the radioactive elements, the radioactivity becomes the foundation of a weapon of mass destruction as well as source of near infinite power.

By overloading her Saint Graph and modifying her body to the limit, this Noble Phantasm allows Marie to transform herself into either a living nuclear power plant that can serve as near unlimited magical and electric energy source, or, as a last resort, a nuclear bomb.

NOTES

Another rework. Although she sounds sadistic and eager to make you her guinea pig, in actuality she only uses her own body to experiment on. On other note, Marzanna is a Polish goddess of winter and death, in her ritual, her effigy is drowned in a river to commemorate winter’s death and welcome the warm sun of spring.
