    Ah, that makes it odder for Hermes to not be included amongst the "originals" then. Also I don't really care one way or the other about the Machine God stuff. I didn't even mention it until Del brought it up.

    Holy crap, we already have Servants and they're amazing.


    Bran the Blessed: THIS SHEET, MAN. There's something so good about the way you fill your sheets with quotes, it always gives me an idea of this character before the lore/personality section, and it's something that I admire a whole lot. Filling a character with personality ain't never a bad idea. Also, this interpretation of divine is good; it's definitely going to be refreshing to see peeps who don't have Divinity as a skill somewhere, and yet they fit this prompt. I wish I could compliment him all day long, but I hope this I LOVE HIM is already good enough to show my feelings.

    Pandora: This idea is so... UGH. WHY I DIDN'T HAD IT BEFORE? I loved the concept of a Pandora chasing after the sins she set free. Gotta catch 'em all indeed. (Besides, a Precure FC? Step aside plebs we have a winner.) Her being a Voyager based on this concept is also such a bold move, a creative endeavour, I dunno, everything at the same time? Certainly, not something I've seen before and yet it fits her so perfectly somehow. I love everything about this Servant.

    I think their (FGO's) argument is that they syncretized Helios and Apollo and I think Selene and Artemis. Selene and Helios are technically of the same generation as Zeus and his siblings, their cousins actually. Their authorities overlapped in most parts and it is seen with Clyties background, mentioning Apollo instead of Helios. It is not consistent with other Nasuverse Lore, but we are used to that by now, right?
    anyways, enough of Mechagreek discussions

    Servant Archer:

    Appearance:


    True Name: Skadi

    Alignment: Lawful Neutral

    Alternate Classes: Berserker, Caster, Assassin

    Strength- B
    Agility- A+
    Endurance- B
    Mana- A
    Luck- E
    NP- A

    Personality
    A stoical woman with a perpetual poker-face. Archer rarely smiles or laughs, radiating an unnervingly impassive demeanor. Beneath her frosty exterior Archer actually has a very mean-spirited sense of humor. One of the few things that can make her laugh (an undoubtedly eerie sight in how genuinely girlish it is compared to how she normally acts) is seeing others put through ridiculous humiliations and undergoing mental and physical suffering.

    That's not to say she's a bad person however. Archer mostly keeps her sadistic side limited to those who deserve it, though when coming across Servants with unusual forms of immortality or regeneration she can't help but feel her curiosity excited and ask to try out some new torture methods on them with disturbing eagerness. "You won't die, so what's wrong with a little experimentation?" Archer asks while smiling eerily. Thankfully she will back down with a refusal and it's possible this trait is some dark humor on Archer's part.

    Archer has mixed feelings about the gods as they killed her beloved father Þjazi but also accepted her amongst their own despite her Giant heritage. She's fond of cold temperatures as well as winter sports like hunting and skating. Conversely Archer is very uncomfortable in warmer climates, quickly getting moody and irritable when forced to spend time there. Due to poor experience with her first husband Njord she has a strange suspicion towards men with beautiful feet (basically the opposite of a foot-fetishist).

    Likes: frigid mountains, the howling of wolves, winter sports, seeing others in anguish
    Dislikes: sunny beaches, seagulls cawing, silver-tongued people
    Talents: archery, ice-skating, torture
    Natural Enemy: Njord, Loki


    Class Skills:

    Independent Action- A
    The ability to sustain oneself in the World without a supply of magical energy from one's Master. At this rank Archer can linger in the World for a full week in the absence of an active contract. As a goddess of the wilderness used to living apart from the other Asgardians in her mountain home Þrymheimr Archer obtains this Skill at a high rank.

    Magic Resistance- B+
    Confers protection against magical effects. At this rank spells with a chant below three verses are nullified. Even if targeted by the likes of High Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals it proves difficult for the Servant to be affected. A bonus modifier is applied to defending against ice and storm Magecraft.


    Personal Skills:

    Torture Techniques- B
    A Skill that represents one's possession of outstanding torture techniques. Plus modifiers are added when using torture tools to deal damage. Because it strengthens bloodshed and agony, further damage is continuously added after the ordinary damage. When the gods convened to decide Loki's imprisonment for the death of Baldr, Archer was the one who devised the torture of placing a venomous snake at his forehead that would periodically drip poison in the god's face. Archer's frigid expression belies a sadistic imagination that excels in tormenting others, and it seems she particularly favors those with immortality or regeneration abilities to "practice" her techniques upon.

    Familiars (Stars)- C+
    Allows the use of stellar bodies as familiars. Archer possesses this Skill through the legend where her father Þjazi's eyes were immortalized in the heavens as twin stars. She may call on those stars as her eyes, having them flit through the air as shimmering golden wisps and use them to scry across the battlefield. Furthermore based on Archer's shared love of hunting with her father she can aim and shoot her bow through the "eyes", launching C-ranked starlight arrows at her foes. When destroyed Archer can resummon the "eyes" a day later by expending some of her magical energy.

    Mana Burst (Skate)- A
    A subspecies Mana Burst derived from Archer's title as a goddess of winter who excels at hunting her foes on skates. Channels Mana through Archer's feet that imparts an icy effect, allowing her to "skate" along the ground while leaving trails of ice in her wake. She can even go airborne by crystallizing droplets of moisture to serve as transient "rails". An elegant image that entrances Archer's foes while she quite literally skates circles around them, loosing ten arrows from her bow with every graceful twirl.

    Goddess Divine Core- A
    Expresses one's nature as a perfected goddess from birth. A composite Skill that includes Divinity, repels mental interference and preserves the body from growth or change no matter how many calories are ingested. As a prominent goddess in the Nordic Pantheon Archer possesses a high rank. However due to the Giant attribute from her father Þjazi it has been prevented from reaching EX-rank.


    Noble Phantasms
    Ydallir
    Tenfold Bow


    Rank: B+

    Type: Anti-Unit~Army

    The bow Archer received from her second husband Ullr. Since its true name along with most of the god's other attributes has been lost to history Archer releases this Noble Phantasm by the name of his homeland Ydallir, which evokes the yew tree traditionally used in crafting bows. Ydallir holds the power to multiply any of Archer's shots, turning a single arrow loosed from her bow into ten. At least that's her most favored effect, but this Noble Phantasm truly allows Archer to amplify any aspect of her arrows by ten, such as their size, speed or piercing power. However only one aspect can be chosen to amplify at a time.


    Þrymheimr
    Thundering Ancient Court


    Rank: A

    Type: Anti-Team

    The fortress Archer inherited from her father the frost giant Þjazi. By invoking its true name she can manifest it by overlaying the castle hall atop her surroundings in a manner falsely akin to a Reality Marble. Appearing as a traditional Viking hall with stone floor, a ceiling made of swords and spears and roaring central fire, albeit hers burns white-blue and seems to give off no heat. The perpetual booming of thunder resounds from somewhere in the distance, echoing the literal meaning of Archer's sanctum: "
    Þrymheimr
    Thunder Home
    ".

    In legend her father Þjazi captured the goddess of youth Iðunn and imprisoned her within this palace. Deprived of their immortality from the golden apples she grew the gods began to grow old and wither until Iðunn was successfully rescued. Reflecting that anecdote Archer can project a Bounded Field throughout her hall that carries the concept of "robbing youth". Those within its confines begin to age at an alarming rate, skin wrinkling and hair graying as their youthful vigor drains away. This gradually weakens her enemies while Archer can redistribute the plundered youth (visualized as translucent golden streams) to herself or her allies for a power-boost.

    Even Servants that are normally immune to aging can be affected, though it still takes longer for the effects to reach severity. Servants with Divinity have their youth drained faster. This ability is most effective for incapacitating enemy Masters as unless having a strong magical protection they'll soon find themselves aged into a husk. All stolen youth is returned when Archer dispels this Noble Phantasm, either willingly or by her own death.





    So here's my second sheet that would fit the contest theme. Decided to submit it as an entry as well. I know we've already gotten Skadi as a Servant in canon but that was a Lostbelt version that leaves a lot out of her mythical self so I think there's room for an alternate take. Couldn't find much information on Ullr's bow despite him being a god of archery so I just gave it abilities (adding a 10 bonus to attacks) based on the weapon of the same name in Fire Emblem series. Since Brionac is canon in Nasuverse despite only being named in a Japanese book on mythology I think that's fair enough.

    As usual when it comes to me submitting multiple entries, assuming you want to vote for one of them be sure to do so for the one with the most votes currently when the time rolls around. That way I'll have the greatest chances of winning anything. Of course comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks for reading!

    A cold wind howls tonight.




    Snow and ice practically tear away at your body despite your clothes. Your bones freeze deeper with every passing second as burning snowflakes dash across your cheeks the wind constantly roars in its attempts to rend your hood from your coat. You clutch it desperately with one hand while the other sticks to you side tucked away in a pocket in a vain attempt to shield it from the chill.

    The world is nothing but shadows from the unyielding trees and screams of torment that ripple through branches barely grasping their trunks against the onslaught. Every step grows weaker and weaker as your strength is sapped by the increasing wall of white that demands to cover you. This storm wants you. Wants your energy, your warmth, your life, and it knows you are not long for this world.

    Whatever it was that brought you here, a broken car, a lack of reception, a shattered window, they all seem so distant in the face of the void you wander through. It doesn't want for much. You’re so tired, but it's not as though you can feel your legs our arms anymore. Maybe you already stopped and just haven't realized it. Maybe, you should stop pretending, and just accept that the storm has won.


    But then, something in the distance catches your eyes, nearly missed by them drifting closed. A figure moving in the distance, a piercing light traveling before them. A red glow that cuts through the veil and burns away what remains. A tall, elegant figure that strides with grace man could not hope to mimic. Something about it speaks to you, an instinct deep within that trembles in fear yet somehow is filled with comfort. An unmistakably contradictory emotion.


    Then it turns its head and, through the trees and the flurry of ice, looks directly at you.


    Its light illuminates the world in red as it bears down over you like a mountain, the force of it enough to drive you to your knees, though it was not a long trip. You feel yourself being laid bare before the creature, its light piercing far more than the snow as it is cast upon your soul.

    Just as quickly, the light dims, but the beast continues to stare at you for a long moment. Finally, it approaches you, easily towering over you as its soft glow spans the distance between you.


    The noble and imposing figure turns, and something changes. As it sits down with its flank in your direction, you realize the howling has stopped. The snow, a moment earlier bearing down in sheets, now floats delicately to rest upon the world. The sky brightens as clouds quietly roll away, revealing the moon in all its glory as it peers down upon the scene unfolding before you.

    "Climb on my back, unless you believe you can make it home on your own. If I learned anything, it's that you should accept kindness when given. It warms the heart faster than any fire."
    His Nose So Bright

    Source

    Class: Avenger/Voyager
    Other Classes:
    True Name: Rudolph the Red
    Alignment: Neutral Good
    Place of Origin: North Pole
    Height: 154 cm.
    Weight: 168 kilo.
    Likes: Christmas. Santa. Forgiveness. Dreams.
    Dislikes: Winterbolt. Bullying. Fear.
    Natural Enemy: The Grinch, Krampus, Winterbolt


    Parameters:
    STR: C
    END: A
    AGI: A+
    MGI: A
    LCK: B
    NP: A


    Class Skills:
    Avenger (D):
    Despite his Class, Rudolph is one who receives little energy from the hostility of others. While his legend is founded upon the hostility and rejection of others, that anger will always fade in time from good souls while evil souls find it growing brighter. He gains more hostility, and therefore more energy, from those of evil alignment.

    Oblivion Correction (C):
    People believe they remember of the hardships he suffered
    A single song verse was all it was offered.
    All the taunting and teasing that hit like a sledge
    In shame through the mud his nose he would dredge.
    The tears and the cries that fell on deaf ears
    Unable to halt their pride and their fears.

    But he held his head high, though few others would
    For when Christmas time came, he knew he’d been good.
    And with that Eve came a great surprise
    Santa there waited before his eyes!
    His help! His help! He needed his nose!
    To cut through the night, and so he arose
    To join the others in pulling his sled
    To light up their path by going ahead.

    And my, how they cheered! They danced with delight
    At the joy he could bring by shining his light.
    They had forgotten their fear, their anger, their shame
    They called out his praise and chanted his name.
    But how could Rudolph forget all the pain?
    The mocking and laughing they’d try to maintain?
    Had he not been useful on this one night
    He would have just left and be free of their sight.

    So, he keeps his head high, nose shining with red
    And never forgets the things that they said.
    His hooves strike like hammers, his antlers like spears
    Protecting the ones who would cower with fear.
    For all who forget their wrongs and their fits
    Rudolph attacks them with Critical Hits.



    Self-Replenishment (Mana) (E):
    His revenge was accomplished, his position secured
    He bears no more shame for the taunts he endured.
    Yet, he must stay, for there’s work to be done!
    So many battles with evil unwon!
    Though anger and fear would give him this Class
    He tries to make sure that he is the last.
    Upon every turn his mana recover
    So he may remain and guide yet another.



    Independent Navigation (A):
    The specialized Independent Action that acts as the Voyager’s Class Skill. Rather than maintaining energy and allowing one to operate without a master for differing periods of time, this Skill actively pushes off such limitations so long as one is working to reach their “destination”.

    As one who unerringly guided Santa across the world and found Baby New Year when all others failed, Rudolph is extremely adept at finding what he is looking for even if he doesn’t know its exact location. By setting his sights on a goal, he will always find his way to it, even if he makes several stops along the way to meet new people. Helping others is never a waste, and he’ll always manage to arrive on time.


    Personal Skills:
    Double Summon (A)
    A result of his legend being both an act driven by anger and fear focused on him as well as being a continuous journey across different planes, Rudolph has been granted the Class Skills of both Voyager and Avenger.

    Blessing of the Northern Lights (A):
    The blessing of Boreal manifesting as a star within a snowflake under his hoof, this is an infusion of her protection and power, marking him as her champion. This blessing is what grants him his immense magical power as well as resistance to elemental attacks and extreme cold. However, this power comes at the cost that, should he use it for evil, it will all be taken away.

    Mana Burst (Christmas Light) (EX):
    A subspecies of Mana Burst that is usually allowed only to saints, holy maidens, and holy knights, Rudolph gains this Skill due to both his association with Christmas and the blessing he received from Boreal, endowing him with advantage towards the evil aligned.

    Diverting the magical energy that empowers his nose, he can infuse his body to increase his defensive and offensive capabilities far beyond what should be possible for a reindeer in bright flashes of vermillion light.

    Natural Body (Reindeer) (A):
    Possession of a perfect body as a reindeer since birth.

    Being blessed by Boreal and being born in the mana and Mystery rich North Pole, Rudolph was born as one of the best physical specimens of reindeer, granting him a rank up in Endurance as well as a body that will not change with caloric intake.

    Protection of the Ends of Time (E)
    While he has not seen Time laid out to the same degree as some, Rudolph’s adventures through time and efforts in preserving it have granted him a minor protection from the wastes of Time.

    Grants a permanent modifier to Agility.

    Noble Phantasm
    Nose So Bright: Guiding Light that Shatters the Veil (EX)
    Anti-Unit/World

    The culmination of his power and legend, the nose on the end of Rudolph’s nose is his most powerful weapon. …No, I’m serious.

    It is the ultimate “revealing” Noble Phantasm. A light that purges falsity and leaves only the naked truth. Its mere soft glow is enough to shatter even the strongest illusions, while a direct beam of its light can pierce through the walls between dimensions. It is nothing short of the true concept of “that which is obscured shall be revealed”.

    With this power, Rudolph has akin to EX rank True Name Discernment on any being he shines his light upon, their entire being outlined for him in red. Reality Marbles crumble before him, it is impossible to lie under direct scrutiny, he is completely immune to deceptive effects, whether mental or sensical. Of course, Fakers are unable to use their camouflage, but Pretenders are even more hampered by being completely depowered of anything related to their stolen identity so long as his light shines on them.

    It’s also very pretty, wouldn’t you agree?

    Winterbolt’s Requiem: One Foggy Christmas Eve (A)
    Bounded Field

    This Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of his journey caused by the vindictive wizard known as Winterbolt that qualified him for Voyager.

    Upon activating this Noble Phantasm, a powerful Bounded Field will be erected around Rudolph, everything within a quarter mile of him becoming a blizzard the likes of which few have seen. A flurry of snow, wind, and darkness that can make even the brightest day appear as night within its icy clutches.

    Here, the concept of “an insurmountable veil” is enforced upon the world, preventing those within from seeing more than a meter in front of them as they are assaulted by below freezing temperatures and winds strong enough to pull down trees, while Rudolph moves at the center of it all.

    The field moves with Rudolph, always keeping him at its center as he travels within. His Nose shines like a beacon in the dark, guiding his way and alerting all that see it that he is coming. A single dot of red shining in the dark, either coming to save or condemn you.

    Of course, due to its nature of following Rudolph, one could simply escape by moving in the opposite direction of him and going past the boundary. If someone had an ability that allowed them to “pierce the veil” as he does, they too could easily navigate themselves through the storm. Were one confident enough, they could even just defeat the one generating the storm or disable the field.

    But, any way you slice, Rudolph will still find you.

    Lore



    We all know the story, but it doesn’t end there. Immediately after the toy delivery, Father Time asked for Santa’s help in finding Baby New Year and saving Time. Due to the still growing snowstorm, Rudolph was the only one able to leave. Traveling across the Land of Time, he made several friends along his way and eventually defeated the child-knapping Eon, a monstrous vulture destined to die at the end of the current eon (1 billion years).

    Not even one year later, he would discover the origins of his nose as the final remnants of power the goddess of the Northern Lights, Boreal, before she was forced into her incorporeal form as the Aurora Borealis. Learning this, he would battle Winterbolt the Snow Wizard, the powerful being responsible for the impenetrable snowstorm last Christmas that Boreal had sealed away centuries earlier when her power was strongest. Were it not for Frosty the Snowman, his friends, and his indomitable spirit, Winterbolt would have likely encased the world in eternal winter.

    He would go on to have several more adventures through the years, even meeting and, at times, clashing with the embodiments of the forces of Nature such as the Miser Twins, the Cardinal Winds, and Mother Nature.



    Personality

    The cheerful, trusting, and self-deprecating reindeer child we remember is all grown up, managing to hold on to those traits while losing the childlike naivety that would often allow others to take advantage of that nature. As the years and number of adventures grew, so too did his confidence in his abilities alongside his independence.

    Brave, kind, loyal to a fault, and affectionate of his friends, Rudolph is someone who just wants the people around him to be happy and to help them when they need it. Except when it comes to bigots or evil people in general. While he is certainly one who believes in giving second, and maybe even third chances, his own ability to see through people in the truest sense has had a dampening effect on that mentality.

    However, Rudolph is still someone who doesn’t shy away from conflict when no other resolution is forthcoming. He will put everything on the line to protect others, and will not stop until evil is vanquished and everyone can have a merry Christmas.



    Relationships

    Saint Boniface: The first Christmas tree~ Wow~ Can I touch it?
    Evil aligned Servants

    Glatisant: Well, of course you're getting a present! How could you ever think otherwise?

    Santa Servants: Santa? I don't think you're my Santa, but I'm sure he appreciates the help.

    H.G. Wells: Father Time! I didn't expect to see you here!

    Snegúrochka: Frosty! Are you okay? Keeping yourself cold?

    ???: W-Winterbolt! How are you here?

    Skadi: Narrowed eyes and low rumbles is all she gets. For some reason, though, she still seeks him out, trying to convince him to keep his second Noble Phantasm on permanently.






    Creator Notes
    Merry Christmas everyone! I brought you what is almost the most terrifying rendition that could be of a Rudolph Servant that falls short of it because I just couldn’t bring myself to corrupt our reindeer boy. What can I say? I’ve known him since I was a kid. I can’t make him some horror movie monster. At least, not entirely.

    Do you like jazz short stories? Do you want something to distract from making Servants? Do you wish the idea of Shirou Kotomine didn't immediately bring edgelords to mind? Well, I can't promise it's good, but some would disagree with me.

    Well. I mean. I don't wanna be a pedant but is 1940s fiction too soon to draw from for this thread?

    And also, further pedantry, is this... divinity-centric?

    Exactly in order to avoid this sort of "exclusivity" that I picked a loose prompt like that. Gods and demigods aren't the only things worthy of "divine" titles. Kings, Pharaos, Prophets, Dictators, Deluded people, Artists who believe they're the pinnacle of art (hey DaVinci), Foreigners, and so many more. Really, there's so many options.
    Hell, one could even make a sheet like a tiktok challenge, frankly. "Tell us you're divine without having divinity". Maybe asterism will allow this with a frown, and that's fair, but I like it when bullshit hits the mark.

    Anyway, this was a pertinent question that I thought I should clarify.
    And then there's Morg and Royd POSTING BANGERS AGAIN. THE DEVIL WORKS FAST BUT MCaS'S WRITERS WORKS FASTER.

    I thought better of you, Drangle. Boreal may not be acknowledged but things like "history" or "actual gods" or some other such nonsense, but she is clearly a deity with Rudolph as her chosen champion. She's basically made him a demigod, and the fact you can't see what's right in front of your face sounds me in my heart.

    As for time, you clearly never read my Hansi sheet. Time is relative in the throne. Centuries have passed with Rudolph remaining relevant, a holiday constant that still delights the hearts of children in whatever future year. How could you discard their dreams so?
    Do you like jazz short stories? Do you want something to distract from making Servants? Do you wish the idea of Shirou Kotomine didn't immediately bring edgelords to mind? Well, I can't promise it's good, but some would disagree with me.

    KEYWORDS

    Oni Species

    Oni. A monster from Japanese folklore. They basically have the same appearance as humans, but with characteristic horns growing out of their heads. Although there are individual differences, they are generally endowed with mighty physical strength and talent for sorcery. However, differently from the likes of Dead Apostles, they have not completely deviated from the proper way of being as living creatures.

    Technically speaking, the expression "oni species" does not refer to a specific breed of creatures. Rather, it is a general term for a category that encompass a relatively vast range of life-forms. Members of such category usually fall under one of the following subdivisions.


    1. "Supernatural oni": those born that way from the very beginning. In terms of genealogy, they are completely different from humans. Regarded as a type of phantasmal species.
    2. "Apostate oni": those who were originally humans. Branded as renegades by the government for various reasons, they suffered persecution and were forced to live into hiding (much like the historical tsuchikumo). Surviving under such harsh conditions caused a curse-like anomaly to occur within their lineage, transforming them into something inhuman.
    3. Oni of fables": those who exist as hatred towards the world given shape. Alternatively, those who were just vaguely conveyed as "dreadful things" originally, but later obtained a concrete physical form.


    Incidentally, the original oni were supposedly born while bearing the duty of "transforming Japan into a land of demons". While the exact details are unknown, one can assume that they were meant to act as a mechanism for extending the lifespan of the Age of Gods.

    Malignant Information

    A vague concept that lingers on the world almost like a curse. Data that causes nothing but harm not only to humans, but also any kind of intelligent life-form. Negative information behavior that is born from intellectual activities, it is a part of the shared common sense of a closed community. Something described as "inconvenient for humans to possess when attempting to do good" is also regarded as a form of malignant information.

    Something that grows by capitalizing on things like anonymous complaints, testimonies lacking credibility and deeply permeated fads. Despite changing into many shapes according to circumstances, its core is completely empty. Malicious agitations. Demagogy based on lies produced just for the sake of profit and that continue to spread while remaining hollow. Things like these are a cancer that, even though they have nothing but negative values as information, end up contaminating the positive values of truth and imposing deficits to the community as a whole.

    The so called “oni of fables”. Their true identity is that of a manifestationembodiment of malignant information, given a physical form by means of magic energy. This sort of “materialization of human thoughts” is not something limited to Japan and similar phenomena occasionally happen all over the world as a natural disaster of sorts. Incidentally, their disposition as “a phenomenon given shape according to human ideals” is somewhat similar to that of the gods of old, which cause some to call them “fierce deities”. Nevertheless, they are demonic existences to the bitter end and not something that anyone should revere as a god.

    This is a digression, but in a certain parallel world, a magus that degenerated into a Dead Apostle found a way to artificially reproduce this “manifestation of malignant information”. Supposedly, it was crowned with the name of TATARI.


    CLASS SKILLS

    Revenger: A+
    Received damage is converted into magical energy for the Noble Phantasm. The way of being as a revenger – which gathers people's grudges and malice onto oneself – turned into a skill. While it becomes easy for the surrounding people to point their hostility towards him, those negative emotions automatically turn into power for Avenger.

    Oblivion Modifier: E
    Humans are creatures that forget many things, but a revenger will never forget. By attacking when the opponent has completely forgotten about him, the damage of Avenger's critical hits is increased.

    As a hollow existence, his attachment to any sort of emotionpassion is extremely thin. Even hatred is no exception to that.

    Self-Recovery (Prana): A
    Magic energy continues to endlessly surge until his revenge has been accomplished. Recovers prana at every turn, even if by minuscule amounts.

    if a Berserker
    Mad Enhancement: C
    Causes parameters to Rank Up in exchange of reason. At C Rank, all parameters except LCK and MGI are Rank Up, but language faculty is lost and he becomes incapable of complex thoughts.

    When manifesting as a Berserker, his aspects of being infatuated with Suzuka Gozen gets emphasized and he does nothing but think about her in a neurotic manner. Still, some would say that is conversely easier to understand than the usual Ootakemaru. For an inhuman being like an oni, obtaining a human-like passion (even if a twisted one) actually makes them more relatable to the common people. A rare case where two negatives makes a positive (sort of).


    PERSONAL SKILLS

    Demon of the Oni Species: A+
    A skill that represents the superpower and the demonic nature of an oni. A mixed skill of Natural Demon, Monstrous Strength, Charisma, Prana Burst and others.

    There are many related examples of the Prana Burst taking the form of “Heat”, and he is also included among those. Thanks to his absurd magical capacity, in his previous life, he was capable of producing such an intense heat that it could increase the environmental temperature and even influence weather conditions.

    Divinity: E
    Whatever one has divine spirit aptitude. The higher the level more one is treated as a mixed race of a materialized divine spirit. Other than breaking through skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Bodhi Tree, there is also an effect that reduces the special defensive value called “purge defense” in proportion to the rank in this skill.

    Despite having been fearedrevered as a “fierce deity”, his divine spirit aptitude is low due to his nature as an oni being overwhelmingly stronger.

    Spiritual Core of a Virtual Image: EX
    Something that denotes the way of being as a personification of malignant information. A composite skill that includes extreme forms of Shapeshift and Self-Modification; he can freely change the configuration of his body in order to match the notions held by the surrounding people – going as far as obtaining attributes that he originally did not have.

    if a Berserker
    Stalking: A
    A skill for the sake of continuously pursuing one’s beloved target. Something akin to a wild instinct that includes all the five senses and magical power.

    Even after death, Ootakemaru kept chasing after Suzuka Gozen. The body might perish, but these feelings will not. Twisted as it may be, what is found here is undoubtedly “undying love”.


    NOBLE PHANTASM

    Kishin Maou – Manifestation of Calamity
    Rank: B
    Type: Anti-Unit (self)

    Fierce God Demon Lord. A Noble Phantasm that has sublimated his very existence. A power also categorized as a “folkloric defense”, it negates all attacks that are not endowed with the “heavenly” or “holy” attributes. Originally, the term “fierce deity” refers to a personification of the more violent, wild aspects of nature. As such, it is only possible to defeat him by employing a power that can “subdue”, “pacify” the natural world.

    In legends, Ootakemaru was endowed with a body sturdy like a rook, capable of withstanding any sort of blade or arrow. The hero Sakanoue no Tamuramaro was only able to defeat him thanks to the assistance of the Tennyo, Suzuka Gozen.

    Onigajou – Lonesome Throne of Natural Disaster
    Rank: A
    Type: Anti-Fortress
    Demon’s Castle. The hellish fortress of Takkoku-no-Iwaya, from where the legendary chief of bandits once ruled. It has been described in legends as constantly enveloped in dark clouds, which repelled would-be invaders by making lightning and fire rain upon them.


    A High-Thaumaturgy falsely similar to a Reality Marble that reproduces that legendary stronghold on top of the current world. The interior of the castle is recognized as Ootakemaru’s territory, and he receives many plus modifiers while inside. Furthermore, only those chosen by him can enter this castle – anyone else is treated as an intruder and will be constantly attacked by all sorts of natural phenomena, abnormal weather.

    Tamo-no-Kimi – Imperishable Source of Misfortune
    Rank: EX
    Type: Anti-World

    Great Gravestone Lord. Legends goes that the head of a nefarious rebel leader was once brought back to ancient Kyoto as a spoil of war. However, the vengeful ghost of said rebel continued to curse his nemesis even after death, causing his severed head to become a catalyst for many calamities that befell the Japan in the ages that followed.

    In simple terms, a suicide Noble Phantasm that drags his surroundings down with him. Upon invoking this, his death will produce a great curse that brings about a great disaster to all those around him. Although details are dubious, this seems to have the potential to bring about a world-ending catastrophe.

    Background
    BACKGROUND

    A legendary oni that once dwelled in the Suzuka Mountains of Ise. Possessing great supernatural powers, he was exalted in fear by the people of those times as a “fierce god”. Also, it is unknown how much of an actual connection they had while alive, but upon being sublimated as a Heroic Spirit he was syncretized with both the bandit leader from Takkoku-no-Iwaya and the legendary chieftain of the Emishi people.

    The story of Ootakemaru is intimately connected with that of his nemesis, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. It has been told that the oni of Suzuka Mountains terrorized the local human settlements with impunity, plundering the tribute meant for the imperial capital and chasing away all the warriors that attempted to exterminate him. On the other hand, he deeply coveted the Tennyo that also lived Suzuka Mountains, Suzuka Gozen, but had his advances turned down at every turn.

    Eventually, the Emperor entrusted the mission of subjugating Ootakemaru to his greatest champion – the shogun, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. At first, it seemed like Tamuramaro would meet the same fate as all the warriors before him, but he ended up receiving a revelation that “Suzuka Gozen’s aid was indispensable for subjugating Ootakemaru”. Acting in accordance with the revelation, Tamuramaro met with the oni in battle only after securing the Tennyo’s support. The Sohaya-no-Tsurugi slipped through demonic defenses thanks to heavenly assistance. Blessed by a goddess, the hero defeated the demon lord.

    What happened after death is up to debate. While some tales say that Tamuramaro and Suzuka ended up getting married and lived happily ever after, others tell that Ootakemaru’s vengeful spirit continued to haunt the pair even after death – even achieving resurrection to confront them time and again. By those accounts, the homonymous Ootakemaru from Mount Iwate and the Akuro-Ou (Aterui) from the Emishi people – both who supposedly were also slain by Tamuramaro – could be considered reincarnations of the Ootakemaru from the Suzuka Mountains.

    Hollow Shell

    Insane while appearing sane, or maybe sane while appearing insane. Although he behaves like a normal person, achieving a mutual understanding is virtually impossible due to him possessing a mental structurethought process that is fundamentally different from that of humans. To begin with, he is not even a proper living being, much less a human.

    Once upon a time, a single oni had emerged. Born from people’s irrational fears, the baseless rumors of “there is something ominous in that mountain”, he could only exist as a personification of those fears. Even if unintentionally, they had pushed the role of being the source of their misfortune upon him, and he had no choice to play the part.

    But his own feelings were not taken into consideration at all. He didn’t even have any in the first place. Back then, the oni called Ootakemaru was nothing but an ambiguous entity that existed only to embody their beliefs and superstitions. By modern standards, rather than a god, he was closer to robot that mindlessly carried out all the commands that were inputted into him.

    All that changed upon his meeting with Suzuka Gozen. She stirred a reaction from deep within Ootakemaru. Not the hollow impulses derived from malignant information, but rather something different. Unique. Fulfilling. Something that he could truly call his own. The hollow god had finally obtained something akin to an ego, individuality.

    From this point on, I will live only for the sake of this love”.

    Yet, he was betrayed. Suzuka exploited Ootakemaru’s feelings in order to deliver him up to his enemies. But that didn’t matter. He had already decided to dedicate everything he had to Suzuka and nothing, not even death, would stop him.

    Objectively speaking, his feelings could be seen as earnest and sincere. But to the person on the receiving end, that single-minded obsession was nothing short of a curse.

    Ootakemaru: Simple but sweet sheet with a good writing-style as always for you. Making him a malignant information-being like TATARI was a cool twist. Though I should note the FC isn't showing up properly for me.

    Bride of the Great Hero

    “The path of the Great Hero was often seeded by many tragedies and losses. Highest amongst them was the loss of his great loves. Each one leaving a scar which not even the gods could heal. Let that be a lesson. It wasn’t a god or a monster who felled the Bastard of Zeus. It was love.”

    “Deianira, kindly don’t make it sound like I murdered my husband.”

    “My husband. I was his last wife.”

    “Sorry for getting murdered!”

    “Ladies, ladies. Please. There’s no need to fight. I didn’t bring you two along just to bicker. We are here on a mission.”

    “Shut up, Hebe!”

    “Shut up, Hebe!”

    “Gods of Olympus, this is what I’m gonna have to deal with. Well, either way. None of us could have manifested without the other. So we might as well get along until we can find our love.”

    Background

    The Great Hero’s Bride is a composite entity made up of three specific origins.

    Megara, the First Wife.

    Deianira, the Third Wife.

    Hebe, the Fourth Wife.

    Although Hebe is the one who remains in control of the main body, her manifestation as a Heroic Spirit would have been impossible without the addition of the other two. Lacking the ability to fight, the goddess relies on Deianira’s cunning and martial ability as well as Megara’s guile and strength of character to fight as they seek out the source of their summoning.

    The Lostbelt devoid of Heroes, Metropolis.

    Having a direct connection to all stages of the Great Hero’s life. Megara as the one who knew him before the labours, Deianira who married him after the Labours, and Hebe who married him following his death and ascension as a god. This servant acts as a portable backup of Heracles’ deeds and history as a hero.

    Megara, daughter of King Creon, is capable of recognizing a weakened Heracles. One who hasn’t been put through his trials. Although her role in the narrative was swiftly ended by the actions of the goddess Hera, Megara still retains the ability to bestow upon ‘Heracles’ the memories and feelings of his past.

    The joys of their life together.

    And the tragedy which drove him to seek redemption.

    Deianira, daughter of Oeneus, represents the ending of Heracles’ journey and his legendary martial prowess due to her association with combat. Her presence bestows power and wisdom upon the one she sees as ‘Heracles’ but also guides him towards the same final destination, the unfortunate death bourne of Deianira’s own desperation to keep Heracles from leaving her.

    A choice which eventually lead to the man’s own apotheosis.

    And his last paramour.

    Hebe, Goddess of Youth, represents the Divine side of the Great Hero’s Legacy. She grants supernatural protections and vigour, returning to ‘Heracles’ the link to his divine heritage as the Son of Zeus. Her ability is necessary to fully restore the Great Hero’s power and also avert the unfortunate demise brought about by Deianira.

    As the daughter of Hera, her union with ‘Heracles’ marks the ending of the vicious cycle which haunted the hero in life.

    As the daughter of Hera, Hebe’s marriage to Heracles could be said to signify the end of all hostilities between her mother and the hero. While many contest whether Hebe married Heracles upon his ascension, or if Heracles himself became smitten with the goddess while building his pyre, the two had a healthy relationship, siring two sons who serve as the guards of Olympus’ gates.

    As Heracles’ last and ‘current’ wife Hebe was the one with the ‘freshest’ connection to the man. Leading to her attempted summoning coming before those of all others.

    While retaining control over the combined Saint Graphs, Hebe can and will cede control of it to the other personalities within, as they are necessary parts of the whole and required to use the Skills and Noble Phantasms associated with their own legends and roles in the creation of the man history knows as ‘Heracles’.

    That is not to say that their current appearence is that of Hebe, however.

    Alter Ego’s current body is a mixture of traits possessed by all three members of the Alter Ego. A beauty which combines aspects meant to draw in the love and affection of their husband by pooling together their resources.

    “My gorgeous hair!”

    “My passionate gaze!”

    “My… fashion sense?”

    Personality

    Despite having all loved the same man, these three women couldn’t have been more different in temperament. Getting along with each other for the sake of finding and rescuing the one they love is just about the only thing which keeps them from descending into infighting.

    Well, that, and their dislike for other paramours.

    They maintain their position as Heracles’ official spouses and dislike that other, better known, paramours of their husband are capable of manifesting without joining together like they have. Chief amongst them being Omphale, the wild woman turned queen who married Heracles during the Twelve Labours.

    “Then there’s that Hippolyta woman.”

    “What? Her too?”

    “I’m… not actually sure. Mother nipped that one in the bud before they could truly get a measure of each other.”

    Hebe, as the one in charge of the composite Saint Graph is left playing mediator more often than not as Megara’s and Deianira’s headstrong personalities often clash in all sorts of ways. From simple squabbles to big spats, the Goddess of Youth requires their help to remain manifested, hiding from them the fact that they could have manifested individually, and that Hebe herself is the one responsible for preventing it.

    Of course, all three women have one thing they can agree on.

    Loving Heracles.

    Of course, they often fight over who was the most beloved and which one was the best wife. Deianira holding the position that since her children with Heracles were those who inherited the man’s name and fame, she should be considered as the official wife. Meanwhile, Megara disputes it, arguing that Deianira’s accidental murder of Heracles disqualifies her.

    “I’m just saying that trusting a Centaur on his deathbed wasn’t exactly a smart decision.”

    “Like you wouldn’t have done the same! I was desperate to keep him.”

    “I guess that means we know who he liked best then.”

    “So says the woman he killed!”

    “T-That’s!”

    “If he really loved you, maybe Hera wouldn’t have been able to drive him insane.”

    ‘Sigh’

    “Maybe I should have called Omphale…”

    Class Skills

    High Servant

    A composite servant created from the combination of multiple figures who held a similar role on the same individual’s journey. All being from the same cultural sphere, and sharing that link with the same person makes their fusing a particularly stable concept. Instead, the constant bickering of the trio is barely held. Creating a working relationship based on a similar goal… and nothing else.


    Devotion - [EX]

    Also known as the ‘Lover’ Class Skill, the ability to convert one’s own feelings of love and dedication towards another into power. A Skill belonging to Megara, it betrays the true feelings of one who wholeheartedly loves a single person without hesitation. At this rank, Devotion grants a full rank to all personal Skills, as well as a second rank up if the subject of one’s affection is present.


    Divine Core of the Goddess - [A]

    The Inherited Divinity of Hebe, the Goddess of Youth. The deciding factor which allows this Alter Ego to manifest. A Skill that expresses one being a perfected goddess from birth. It preserves the absoluteness of the mind and the body, repels all mental interference, prevents the body from growth and prevents the figure from changing no matter how much calories are absorbed.


    Item Construction (Fake) - [B]

    Deianira’s ability to create potions and poisons. Derived from the episode in which she smeared a mix of centaur blood and olive oil on one of her husband’s in a bid to keep him faithful. Ironically, while Deianira possesses the skill and knowledge of how to create said potions, she is completely unaware of their effects. Taking anything she makes is like playing russian roulette.

    Personal Skills

    Hero’s Bridesmaid - [C++]

    Similar to the Valkyrie of Norse myth, this Servant possesses the ability to guide and nurture a hero along the path of greatness. At this level it allows Alter Ego to create an entirely new ‘Heracles’ so long as the one being guided fits the requirements established by the three personalities which inhabit this Servant. Naturally, the only person capable of extracting this Skill’s full potential would be Heracles himself.


    Single-Mindedness (Love) - [D]

    The absoluteness of the psyche. Unwavering dedication to one whom Alter Ego have dedicated their collective hearts. It prevents any and all form of tampering regarding romantic intent, safeguarding the individual from the temptation of gods and demons alike as they search for their one true love.


    Princess of Heroism - [C]

    A sixth sense of sorts, it allows Alter Ego to sense the presence of those who possess the potential to be like the Great Hero. In other words, let them judge and compare those with the right credentials to become ‘Heracles’. Divinity, skill in combat, personality, body build, ability to provide back massages that hit just the right spot. Many are the different standards through which they judge one as worthy or not. As a side effect, Alter Ego is always aware of her surroundings, able to pinpoint others even if they are attempting to hide their true nature as heroes.


    Marmyadose - [E+]

    A Mythological Mystic Code, Marmyadose is a sword shaped like a staff crafted by the God of Fire, Hephaestus, and later on gifted by Athena to Heracles over the course of the Twelve Labors. Although its power output is insane, and its craftsmanship is second to none, the power Alter Ego is able to draw from it is extremely limited. At best it is their one and only combat-oriented skill. Only able to use it as a result of Deianira being present to witness Heracles’ death and pass it onto her own children.

    As a result, Alter Ego is capable of passing this weapon onto someone related to Heracles, or someone they judge to be ‘just like Heracles’.

    Noble Phantasm
    Megara Tragoedia: Madness of the Husband
    ?-Rank / Anti-Sanity

    The madness inflicted upon Heracles by the Goddess Hera. A form of passive mental interference which causes those around Alter Ego to slowly lose control over themselves. It scales up in rank based on how similar the individual is to Heracles, while also gaining strength based on Megara’s own feelings for the individual.

    Those who harbor feelings of romantic nature for Alter Ego will find themselves obtaining the Mad Enhancement skill, which grants them a boost in overall parameters while also eating away at their sanity, to the point of turning individuals into mindness monsters if the rank reaches high enough.

    Alter Ego dislikes the nature of this Noble Phantasm, yet cannot deactivate it.

    Eventually, those who love the Alter Ego will be driven completely insane and attempt to kill them just like the Great Hero once did.

    Nine Heads: Poisoned Gift of Unwitting Demise
    ?-Rank / Anti-Heracles

    The potion created by Deianira after being prompted by Nessus.

    A powerful poison containing the blood of a centaur, combined with olive oil and the venom of the Hydra which Heracles shot Nessus with. It was used as the tool which killed the great hero after Deinaria was tricked into smearing her husband’s tunic with the potion, causing him to go through immense pain before eventually throwing himself upon a funeral pyre.

    This Noble Phantasm recreates this episode, allowing Alter Ego to bestow upon objects the properties of the same potion which killed her husband. Be it weapons or clothes, Deianira’s ability turns them completely poisonous to the touch. With the caveat that the larger the object she is affect is, the less effective this ability becomes, as if diluting the original dosage over a wider area.

    The potency of the effect is cut by half if the target isn’t divine.

    It loses a further rank if the target isn’t human.

    Receiving a blow from Deianira’s Nine Heads and surviving for a set amount of time will unlock the hidden function of the third and final Noble Phantasm.

    Rejuvenation Ambrosia: Blessing of Divine Youth
    A-Rank / Blessing

    The Blessing of Hebe, used to rejuvenate Iolaus so that he could do battle against Eurystheus in defense of Heracles’ children. It is a temporary boon granted by the goddess in exchange for a mortal’s life, it would return them to a ‘prime state’, the strongest form that mortal had in life.

    By summoning a chalice full of ethereal golden liquid, Alter Ego may grant it to any individual they deem worthy. Of course, as capricious and single minded as this servant is, you’d need to convince her to do so. Iolaus only being able to due to his mission involving the descendants of Hebe’s own husband.

    Needless to say, if you can’t convince her or attempt to steal the chalice, you won’t gain any boons, and might be cursed instead.

    Of course, for a mortal to consume the drink of the gods, it means that their body would be eventually consumed from within as Hebe’s power used up whatever life force they had left in order to fuel the temporary return to a youthful state. Such an outcome can be averted, however, if the individual has a high enough rank of Divinity, allowing them to last longer under the influence of this Noble Phantasm.

    This Noble Phantasm also has a secondary function.

    Bestowing the effects of God Hand upon those with Divinity. The number of lives bestowed depends on the ranking of Divinity possessed by the one she’s blessing at the time. Of course, those who lack Divinity will merely receive the usual Blessing of Youth, but those who are already divine gain the extra lives.

    Relationships
    Heracles

    “Ah, beloved. How do I miss you so! Where are you? What must we do to finally be reunited? Even now, we fail to trace your presence. What form of world is this, where the greatest of all Heroes cannot be felt by his one true love…”

    “She’s really really into the whole tragic love interest thing, isn’t she?”

    “So long as it doesn’t become a problem. I don’t see any reason to stop her.”

    “You say that now, but pretty soon she’ll be coating shirts with poison again.”

    Bran the Blessed

    “Not bad at all, Squirt.”

    “He died older than you, Megara.”

    “Do I sound like I care? Either way, keep up the good job and we might consider you in the future!”

    Pandora
    “Ah, Lady Pandora. It is truly an honor to meet the original woman. I’m so very sorry for what my mother and the other gods pulled on you. If you ever need help with your task, please don’t hesitate to call upon us. That task sounds like a job for the greatest hero.”

    Skadi

    “Wasn’t she the one who got lumped with that Scottish Witch?”

    “It’s such a shame, really. I heard the dresses she wore were truly lovely.”

    “... How the Hades are you the only one of us with combat ability?”

    Rudolph

    “Avenger? Oh, I’m sorry little one. The Great Hero would never be someone who callously strides the path of a heartless killer. Even if you aren’t like all the other reindeer, you just aren’t what we are looking for.”

    Alcides

    “You…! Idiot! Stupid! Muscleheaded no good harp player. Get down here and take off that ridiculous thing from your face. Seriously, I let you out of my sight for a few centuries and you fell to pieces!”

    Ootakemaru

    “Temperament is all wrong. My husband was a stalwart serious type. Though your strength isn’t half bad, I can’t consider you anywhere close. Monsters and Gods are opposed after all.”

    Omphale

    “Hey guys! Long time no see!”

    “Kill her! Kill the bint!”

    “Kill! Kill! Kill!”

    “Ladies, will you please give it a rest!”
