You know innocents monster right? I’m now wondering if an innocent saint (someone who was horrible during life but got remembered as a hero) exists?

Royd came up with Guilty Angel for that situation, and some people had used that Skill (or similar variations of it) for their own sheets iirc. Coincidentally my next sheet also has that Skill.
Welcome to NINE-lives' Showerthought Dump Thread
you also write it is a slow day directly after a new servant sheet
"Let's see the color of your coin, my friend."
Behold my vault of Heroes.
Where the Heavens and the Abyss breath the Music of Humanity.
The King's duty is to provide. And provide, I shall.

I know my sheets are nothing to write home about but holy shit that fucking hurt oof
Guess I'll fap to some doujins or something to alleviate the burn lol
Astyanax: Pretty cool, though I am wondering where the myths about him grown-up and fighting are from? Unless he's some sort of agglomeration of different stories about both him living and his descendants hyping him up. I also like how the Durandal he and eventually Roland use is different from the one Hector uses, to unify how the sword was supposedly given by an angel with the bit where it's also Hector's spear.
Orlando Furioso itself. His wikipedia article gives further stories about it
It also says he killed a giant, married a princess and is Rugiero's descendant and Hektor is a really big deal in Orlando Furioso nearly at the same level of Arthur so I went from there. The attitude is kinda inspired on a reverse of Hector, he had to become an attacker instead of a defender so he is overly blunt but that nature isn't fully gone so he is also unusually perceptive for a 'meathead'. Also a trait of Ike's (the source picture) who doesn't like talking much but when he does its heavy and he has absolutely no filters when dealing with asshole nobles and tyrannical kings so I borrowed it as well

I think so? Extella likes being coy about "Not real heroic spirits brah" but Merlin talks to Bradamante as if the story of them meeting actually happened and the Merlin in Bradamante's memories isn't any different from the one we know, Bradamante is just a eroge heroine so her WIS is Zero and thus she never suspects how much a trickster scumbag Merlin is. And neither Astolfo nor Roland have existence crisis or a unstable Saint Graph, hell Mandricardo is a footnote of a footnote in Orlando Furioso and he is a genuine heroic spirit
What do you mean wwith WIS i am not good in shortcut words please ? and i meanet rather if they are some evolved figures of former mythology like Lancelot and Gawain are have been originated from the pagan frankish mythology ?

The timing holy shit.
Actually speaking of holy, your sheet ain't bad at all. Definitely liked the ideas behind it, even if the execution wasn't all of that. But then again, for something that you've conceived in the span of a few hours? Wow, it's actually good. I also liked the way you've incorporated some of Ike's tendencies into Astyanax, love it when people get inspired by their FCs. And the way this sheet came into existence? Glorious. Please do it more times.

sorry i had a mixup i meant Frankish mythology
- - - Updated - - -
Here is the line with it
Fredegar tells a story of the Frankish king Chlodio taking a summer bath with his wife when she was attacked by some sort of sea beast, which Fredegar described as bestea Neptuni Quinotauri similis, ("the beast of Neptune that looks like a Quinotaur"). Because of the attack, it was unknown if Merovech, the legendary founder of the Merovingian dynasty was conceived of Chlodio or the sea beast.[18]
In later centuries, divine kingship myths would flourish in the legends of Charlemagne (768–814) as a divinely-appointed Christian king. He was the central character in the Frankish mythology of the epics known as the Matter of France. The Charlemagne Cycle epics, particularly the first, known as Geste du Roi ("Songs of the King"), concern a King's role as champion of Christianity. From the Matter of France, sprang some mythological stories and characters adapted through Europe, such as the knights Lancelot and Gawain.

Most of the stuff I have seen points more towards King Arthur and his knights coming from Welsh mythology rather than from Frankish.
I'm back from just not hanging around here and I'm not gonna read through the 500 pages or so I missed. Apologies if I missed a really good Servant.
Nice to see you all again anyway.
Anyways, I believe the reasoning for the Paladins being so different to Karl is that they did indeed exist but were just normal knights. In contrast to how Charlemagne is suffocated by the reality of Karl, the knights were unnoteworthy enough to become overwritten with fantasy. This is why Roland isn't just some random dude who died barely mentioned in a footnote but a heroic figure who bravely fought to the end and why Astolfo is a weird crossdressing lunatic. Bradamante was probably a normal woman taught some magic by Merlin but is so weird due to Paladin memes merging with her Saint Graph.
FGO hasn't really gone into much detail on the Paladin/Karl situation yet unfortunately. Hopefully it will do one day if they introduce Charlemagne to the Pool.
Servant Sheet Compilation
'Winner' of the Legendary Jack-Off
Charlemagne features in a very important way in Fate/Extella Link. He's a very, strange, person...?
Given the coyness they've displayed about adding Extella servants to FGO, it might stay that way.
Well then Okaeri then Anju ! out of this reason do i wonder if the Paladins have pre christian legends as basis that reminds me on the several songs in finland that aer fragments of the former mythology until they were reunited into Kalevale , perhaps some Celtic or french Gaulic roots do i mean if the Paladins are having similar like the Arthus legend complex are seeming to be several different originally seperated Mythologies merged with Christian thematic as i know there are some Arthus sagas seperate each in British and french versions . What i found out after some Root research about their origin .

I'd prolly write a sheet for the thread or even the contest if I had the time. But university usually puts a damper on that so RIP. I do like writing relatively obscure servant sheets so I'd prolly just continue that trend when I get to it
Current FGO setup
"Servant Caster, the last queen of Troy has answered your call Master. Hmm, my appearance? Sorry, I know it must be improper for a queen but I promise I'll give my all to fight for you even in this body. This time, I'll finally be able to protect everything..."
Servant Caster:
Appearance:
Source
True Name: Hecuba
Alignment: Lawful Good
Alternate Classes: Berserker, Assassin, Avenger
Strength- D+
Agility- C
Endurance- C+
Mana- B
Luck- D
NP- A++
Personality
Class Skills:
Territory Creation- EX
The ability to formulate a territory advantageous to oneself as a Magus. Caster's second Noble Phantasm facilitates creation of a "Shining City Ilium" superior even to a "Temple".
Item Construction (False)- B
A talent to craft items tinted with magical energy. Caster had no anecdotes of a magus in life yet through her authority as last queen of Troy as well as her second Noble Phantasm she can draw on any treasures belonging to her great kingdom. These include riches of gold, jewelry and silver, ornate swords and spears and relics like ritual goblets or even magical artifacts. All the wealth of Troy prior to its pillaging is hers to command.
Personal Skills:
Beast Form- C+
A foreshadowing (curse) of the fate she later befell in life, Caster manifests as a Servant with noticeable canine features including extra wolflike ears and sharpened claws contrasting her regal bearing. Parameters save Luck and Mana are ranked up, but unlike her other incarnation Caster doesn't suffer any loss of sanity from this transformation. Only the occasional, painful memory that brings a haunted expression to her normally warmhearted features...
Charisma- B
A queen who guided her people with wisdom and maternal love, regarding all of them as her beloved children. Caster naturally qualifies for a high rank in this Skill. Even if... deep down she questions whether a queen who failed to protect even her own children deserves to possess it.
Clairvoyance (Queen)- B
A variant Skill of the Archer Class, encompassing the premonitions Caster had concerning her sons' fates as well as the constant watchful care she took to protect her kingdom from harm. Affords Caster glimpses into the near-future of those she acknowledges as her "subjects" and "children". The stronger her feelings towards the individual, the more the predictions cohere into a tangible shape. Theoretically a formidable Skill, and yet Caster all too frequently finds herself powerless to alter the fates of those she cares deepest for...
Noble Phantasms

So here's a compliment to my old Berserker Hecuba sheet. To be honest when I first saw art of Nailah I pretty much had to make one for her with that as FC at some point. I put a fair amount of thought into fleshing out her personality, as you can probably see by the number of Relationship lines. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!
