Create-A-Servant 3

[Shezum3]

Good afternoon. I'm new here. I want to present you my first concept of a servant. I warn you - this is an unusual person. Sorry for my English

Last king of Scotland

Mortal, prostrate yourself, for before you stands His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hajj Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular. Remember this and always call ME that!


Class: Berserker
True Name: Idi Amin Dada
Alignment: Chaotic Narcissistic
Place of Origin: Uganda
Armament: his fists, claims to be able to use absolutely any weapon, even those made by the gods

STRENGE — A+
ENDURANCE— A
AGILITY — D
MANA — C
LUCK — C
NP — B

Class skills:

Mad Enhancement — This skill has been replaced by Narcissism

Personal skills:

Narcissism(EX) — A skill that replaces Mad Enhancement. Berserker's self-importance is very high. He never doubts his decisions, no matter how crazy or absurd they are. Because of this, it is impossible to maintain a dialogue with Berserker - in any conversation, he will not fail to miss the opportunity to praise himself.

This skill allows the Berserker to ignore any attempt to mentally control him, impose actions on him, and so on. Even the ability of a certain spear to strike always at the heart can be blocked by this skill if it is below A grade. Even command seals cannot hold it unless the Berserker himself wishes it.

It makes me laugh just to think that all these klutzes depend on red tattoos. They even call themselves servants. (laughs)

Box(A) — Berserker won the King's African Rifles heavyweight boxing title twice (1951, 1952). With a height of under two meters, he weighed more than one hundred and twenty-five kilograms. This skill increases Berserker's STR and END when fighting without any weapons.

Of course, I can use any weapon, but I won't! I, a REAL warrior, have only two weapons - the right fist and the left fist. Swords, knives and spears can break. Rifles and bows can run out of arrows. But my fists are always with

Cannibalism(A) — Berserker's famous deed. This skill allows him to restore mana by devouring human flesh. In combat, Berserker actively bites and may well bite off a piece of flesh from the enemy.

It is very salty, even more salty than leopard meat. In a war, when there is nothing to eat and one of your comrades is injured, you can kill and eat them to survive

White Killer(B+): Berserker's entire activity was devoted to the fight against white people and Great Britain in particular. Berserker's damage is increased for all whites, for immigrants from Britain and America, the damage is doubled at all. However, due to the fact that he did good to Hitler, the skill does not have the highest rank.

Of course, all the evil in the world comes from whites, this is obvious to everyone. What did white people bring to this world? Nothing but wars, famine, disaster in the end. My mission is to restore justice. All whites must disappear once and for all!

Noble Phantasm:

Amri ya bwana wa wanyama wote na samaki
Law of the Last King of Scotland

Anti-unit, B

Crystallization of Berserker's narcissism, the apogee of his madness. This phantasm gives him the ability to give orders to any animal that exists on this planet. To do this, he needs to say the name of the Noble Phantasm and announce the order. Animals will do it, they cannot disobey. It can be a command to attack, scout, and so on. In addition, Berserker can give orders to people. As for the servants, they must make a luck check, if successful, the servant will come under the control of the Berserker. The control of servants is temporary, in the case of animals and humans, control extends until the death of the Berserker himself. He himself cannot take control of Phantasmal Species, Draconic Species, and creatures that are the offspring of Noble Phantasms of other Servants

Description:

Likes: Himself, human flesh, Adolph Hitler
Dislikes: Whites, skeptics

Berserker's true name is Idi Amin Dada, President of Uganda from 1971-1979. However, he does not really hide his name and absurdly long title.

Mad adult child. That's how you can describe Berserker. He is not able to doubt his actions from the word at all and always considers himself right in everything. Nevertheless, Amin is seriously cruel. Human life for him is an empty phrase, he will easily kill his own Master, even if it costs him his life. His momentary whims are much more important than winning some war.

The master should be very careful in handling Idi Amin. Never call him servant or Berserker. At best, Amin will remind you that he must be addressed by his title, or at least by his first name; at worst, he will kill him on the spot. Amin sees the Master as his servant, whose Command Spells support him, Berserker laughs at the mere thought that these tattoos have any power over him. It will not be easy for the female master - Amin considers himself the most irresistible man in the world and will pester her, like any other girl or women, even an enemy servant.


Relations:

Adolf Hitler — Idi Amin is really a fan of the personality of the Fuhrer, to the great surprise of the latter. This is one of the few people who is allowed to order Berserker. When meeting with him, Amin will be insanely delighted and may even want to hug Hitler. Adolf himself has mixed feelings for Idi Amin - on the one hand, Berserker refers to a people that must be destroyed, on the other hand, Hitler does not want to lose such a devoted ally

Jean-Bedel Bokassa — To say that Amin is friendly to Bokassa is to say nothing. Both of these personalities are united by many things, including a passion for human meat.

Notes: I know that this servant is unlikely to be added to the Grand Order, since he is not suitable for the scenario of saving humanity. I originally wanted to give him an NP based on his one day war with the US, however I couldn't think of a proper way to describe it. Something like - he calls the servant to a duel, if the enemy does not come, then Amin receives a bonus. Then I remembered his crazy orders and decided to play with it.

[RoydGolden]

"'Saver'... what a tasteless title. Know this: I am Servant to no one, nor do I have any interest in extending a hand to those who merely wait for salvation to fall on them like rain. The only ones who deserve to be saved are those who understand and grasp it for themselves. Now then, are you ready to go towards the 'perfect world'?"

Saver of Selfishness:

Appearance:


True Name: Ayn Rand

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Alternate Classes: Caster, Faker

Strength- E
Agility- D
Endurance- D
Mana- D
Luck- C
NP- B

Personality

A strict, cold and largely humorless woman. Saver believes absolutely that virtue and happiness consist in 「enlightened self-interest」, lecturing on it to anyone she encounters. She has no patience for altruistic people or those who rely on the charity of others, decrying both as what to her is the worst label in the English language: 「moochers」. Manifesting in the Saver Class Rand dedicates herself to spreading the teachings of 「enlightened self-interest」 as widely as possible, although she insists it is not out of altruism but merely a desire to see a world that conforms to her ideals.

She is an avid smoker (and vehemently denies the evidence proving it to be unhealthy in the modern era) and believer in free love to the point where she'll bluntly try to flirt with anyone she sees as having 「compatible values」 to herself. Saver has a sour relationship with most other legendary heroes, regarding them as either brutes who got their way through violence while neglecting higher principles, or else altruists who defended a system of compassion she despises. She'd eagerly admire pioneer heroes like Tesla and Drake, seeing in them the greatest humanity has to offer. However given her... narrow personality it's unclear whether that affection would be returned or last upon actually encountering those figures and finding they hold differing beliefs to her idealized versions.

Likes: enlightened selfishness, Capitalism, smoking, dominant men (has a fetish for them but won't admit it, insisting as always her preference is 「objectively rational」)
Dislikes: moochers, Socialism, claims that selfishness is immoral, people who doubt her rationality
Talents: writing, convincing others her views are rational
Natural Enemy: too many to count really (including basically every philosopher other than herself and Aristotle), but she particularly hates Robin Hood for what his legend has come to symbolize in the popular consciousness.

Class Skills:

Charisma- C+
A composite Skill that consists of one's natural charm as well as the ability to command armies. Boosts the capability of allies in group battles. It is also one of the hallmarks of the Saver Class. Saver in life was a writer who managed to amass a cult-like following, despite the highly contentious quality of her ideas.

Having manifested under her most famous character's mantle of an 「ultimate Objectivist messiah」 to disseminate her philosophy of 「enlightened selfishness」 to the world her charisma has further increased. For one who preached 「there is no conflict of interest between rational minds」 and insisted on absolute unity of opinion amongst her followers despite advocating 「free thought」 Saver excels at convincing others that what she wants and desires is 「rationality」 itself. A + modifier is applied if one's own ideology is already similar to Saver's.

Counter Hero- C
An ability that lowers the statistics of 「heroes」 one faces in combat. Saver declared her own philosophy of Objectivism to supersede all others as the ultimate example of how human beings should live. 「Heroes」 embodying a philosophy opposed to her own are revoked of their legitimacy to stand as 「exemplars of mankind」, being oppressed with a rank-down to all parameters against her. Servants in concordance with Objectivist philosophy are exempt from this, while for Anti-Heroes the effect is more muted merely reducing their parameters by a half-ranking.


Personal Skills:

Ideal Man- B
A Skill similar in nature to Innocent Monster. The Servant's appearance and attributes have been distorted to conform to the 「ideal」 they extolled in their literary/philosophical works. It differs from Innocent Monster in that these alterations are wholly embraced by the Servant, letting them obtain their longed-for ideal.

Equates Saver to the numerous iterations of polymath-heroes in her works, most iconic being the 「ultimate Objectivist messiah」 John Galt. Allowing her to channel Skills Saver deems representative of an 「ideal Objectivist hero」 such as Territory Creation, Item Construction, Independent Action, Voyager Of The Storm, Espionage, Natural Insight and worryingly, Murderer On A Misty Night at C~B rank.

Zealotry (Objectivism)- A
A Skill where normally unattainable mental strength can be obtained by having so much faith in something that it is beyond the understanding of those around the user. What Saver has conviction in is the doctrines of Objectivism, her self-invented philosophy that promotes 「enlightened self-interest」 as the highest virtue.

She's certain 「selfishness」 is good and 「altruism」 evil however Saver will freely redefine those terms to suit her needs. For instance saying that someone building a gold statue of themselves is 「selfless」 (as trying to impress their neighbors shows undeserved concern for the rabble's opinions) while giving your life for your friend is 「selfish」 (as you're acting according to your own values). Saver's belief in absolute independence of mind allows her to largely resist mental influencing thaumaturgy, however her obliviousness to her own biases renders her unable to notice when her own thought-processes go astray.

Incidentally, one of the very few contemporaries Saver admired in life was William Hickman, a brutal murderer of a young girl whom she referred to as「a brilliant, unusual, exceptional boy」 twisted into a monster by society. That can be called one of the starkest highlights of how far her mentality diverges from ordinary humans'.

Monologue- B
The ability to bring action to a halt while the Servant speaks. Saver was (many would say in)famous for use of monologue in her works, frequently stopping the plot to have characters exposit their philosophies and ideals. In the most notorious example, her landmark novel Atlas Shrugged the character John Galt gives a roughly 32,000 words long speech over the radio while the antagonists try in vain to cut him off.

By pouring Mana into her voice Saver is capable of 「delaying」 any action against her so long as she continues to speak. Incoming projectiles, a bomb about to go off or even a simple punch thrown at Saver will slow down to give her time to finish. However she can't take any direct offensive action while speaking or the effect will be broken, so this is really only useful for stalling or giving herself time to think.

Noble Phantasms

The Fountainhead

Destruction Of What Is Beautiful To Protect It From This Ugly World

Rank: C+

Type: Anti-Treasure (Anti-Unit~Fortress)

A crystallization of Saver's first successful novel, climaxing in the architect protagonist Howard Roark dynamiting a building he designed as protest after its construction was maliciously altered. The novel's heroine Dominique Francon also initially destroyed works of art out of a belief the world was unworthy of them. These anecdotes entwine into a Noble Phantasm that embodies the theme 「destroying one's own works」.

Allows Saver to infuse anything she 「creates」, whether a book, a sculpture or even a building, with her own Mana and ignite it at will, detonating the object in question. The explosion's size naturally scales with the object, but its rank instead hinges on Saver's personal assessment of her creation's 「value as a work of art」. Works she casually slapped together will only yield an E or D-ranked boom, while masterpieces can reach the level of an A-ranked Phantasm.

Representing how Roark amazingly acquitted himself in court for the demolition, this imparts an effect akin to Disengage allowing Saver to easily escape following her detonations. Furthermore the explosions emit a mental interference (proportional to their size and spectacularity but inversely to the number of civilians caught in the blast) that inspires others who witness them to think more favorably of Saver viewing her as a maligned genius. Incidentally this Noble Phantasm's resemblance to that of an archetypal 「terrorist」 falls deafly on Saver.

Atlas Shrugged

Stopping The Motor Of The World

Rank: B

Type: Anti-Unit (Anti-Moocher)

A Noble Phantasm sublimating Saver's most famous (for better or worse) novel, where her Objectivist philosophy reached its

nadir

zenith

. She depicted a 「strike」 where the intellectuals and captains of industry collectively withdrew from a crumbling statist society accelerating its sink into ruin. Upon invoking the true name Saver places a curse upon the opponent that enforces the concept 「revoking the spark of industry」. This is visualized by an image of the titan Atlas appearing and dropping its globe on them.

Any Skills and Noble Phantasms that came from others rather than something the Servant created themselves are stripped away, armaments crumbling into Mana while abilities simply become unusable. Examples of abilities that would be sealed are Excalibur (given to Arturia by the Lady of the Lake) or Imperial Privilege (signifying the omnipotence an absolute ruler holds in the minds of their people). Conversely those inherent to the body such as Monstrous Strength, forged from training and skill like Eye Of The Mind (True) and armaments the Servant created themselves like Nero's Aestus Estus are unaffected.

It is Saver's ultimate counter to 「moochers」 who cling to the abilities of others rather than their own strengths. Skills and Noble Phantasms confiscated by this curse are not permanently lost, but return when one is no longer facing Saver in combat.

So here's another of my more controversial Servants, or at least so it'd be if I thought there were actually any fans of her on this forum. I'd wanted to write up an Ayn Rand Servant with Ragyo Kiryuin FC for a while, but just now got the inspiration. This could've fit the historical Servants prompt too but I chose edgy serial-killer girl over her. As usual comments and critique would be welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!

[BnEl15]

Oh my, two controversial Servants after another?

Ayn Rand is fine, if a bit wanked for a modern Servant. Then again, I do give philosophers a bit of a pass for being OP, since philosophy in general can open doors to some real wack stuff.

Idi Amin, tho... the Hitler sheets here are bad enough, and you wrote a much more recent monster who's almost as bad as him? I dunno, this kinda feels in poor taste...

[Shezum3]

Maybe you're right about my bad taste. For some reason, I am drawn to all sorts of villains, tyrants, dictators, maniacs and other "interesting" personalities. I'm not saying that I like these bastards or I love them - I understand how vile and disgusting the deeds of these individuals are. However, every story needs its villains. Frightening, revealing the dark and gloomy features of human nature. Alas, these individuals are also part of our history. It's unfortunate, but true. I think I'll make a sheet of a nicer person than the last King of Scotland

[BnEl15]

I mean, there's nothing wrong with writing "villains", I wrote several dictators, murderers, and evil kings myself. It's just how recent he is, and how the impacts of his actions can still be felt in the present day.

[Shezum3]

Yes, I like the concepts of your servants, it was you who inspired me to create my sheets. Perhaps the fact is that for my perception the 20th century is already a long time ago.

[NailsInYourFeet]

Given Fate/ works on a timeline of 'all the way back to Ancient Sumer', it can have a much broader idea of what counts as 'recent'. Like most people wouldn't think of say the 1960s as recent at all, yet it would be by Fate standards

Though it's, er, 'amusing' that Ayn Rand would be posted next to a dictator, given her ideas were a huge influence on the policies of a recent dictator (Augusto Pinochet)

[Vance]

"Now, now, we all know that can be something heartrending to go through. Whether it be watching from the sidelines or actually participating."

Spoiler:

"However, war is not just about that. War can be an opportunity. It can be enriching. But well, my friend, it's enriching for me. Why? It's because…"

Spoiler:

"...There will be bloodshed."



True Name: Amakuni Yasutsuna
Class: Saber
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Source: Historical Fact
Region: Japan

Parameters:
Strength: B
Endurance: A+
Agility: D
Mana: C
Luck: B

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance B
Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by greater magecraft and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.

Territory Creation A
The Skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana. In this particular case, Saber and his forge are inseparable existences as one is never truly far from the other.

"What can I say? The forge is my life and my life is the forge."

Appreciation of Swords B+
A skill similar yet different to Appreciation of the Arts. Comprehension related to armament. As a master swordsmith, he especially concerns himself with the qualities of any sword he sees and, as such, he can accurately discern their weak points and how much force is needed to wear them down or outright break them.

"I am willing to outright say that the experience of watching those soldiers returning with my swords broken was truly traumatizing."

Personal Skills:

Concept Improvement (Forge) B++
The special right and unfair advantage to improve any tool. In this case, anything he puts within his workshop will be reforged to a higher state. A '++' modifier exists in the case of any swords he uses, as they would become more akin to imitation divine constructs.

"Swords will be swords, my friend. What do you mean you don't understand?"

Labor of Thirty One Days A
An anecdote from the legend of Amakuni, telling of him and his son, Amakura, working within his forge for thirty one days to create the first iteration of the new sword. Subsequent creation of the swords took only one day each. A skill that drastically reduces the time for him to create new weapons after the first creation.

"That boy…he deserves his own recognition for his work."

Blood-Driven Vitality EX
Taken from the anecdote that Amakuni has become immortal and ascended to the heavens due to the amount of blood spilled on the battlefield. A skill that has any drop of blood in his radius further fuels his continued manifestation no matter how many wounds inflicted to the point that the only true way to defeat him is to obliterate him outright. One would think that the origin of this skill would have to do with the anomalous armor he is wearing. Who knows what other benefits it grants.

"It is something purely for aesthetic purposes, I assure you."

Noble Phantasm

"Ah, this blade. I'll give it three days before it's stolen from me."

Kogarasumaru: Blade of Crows
Rank: C (B)
Type: Anti-Unit
The first noble phantasm of Amakuni. The double-edge curved sword commonly known to be associated with the smith Amakuni. In fact, it was the first curved sword he had ever created, inspired by the dream he had of the perfect sword. It was never used by Amakuni himself but gained fame through its usage by the Taira clan after being sequestered away by its namesake, a crow.

As a blade that has never been used by him, Kogarasumaru's effectiveness is limited in Amakuni's hands. At least, until the time comes for it to be taken to the one most suitable to wield it.

"Haha, you've broken my blade so easily?! I see, I see. Worry not, my friend. It shall come back better than before."

Yasutsuna Ken: Sword Lineage
Rank: E~A+
Type: Anti-Unit
The second noble phantasm of Amakuni. The crystallization of his legend of reforging the broken blades of the samurai who had returned from war. The thirty-one swords that gave victory to the warriors of the Emperor and allowed Amakuni to gain his hard earned praise.

Manifested as a single sword, a tachi, whose durability and strength would rank it as E, it would be able to stand up to any other blades that lack mystery but would easily break against weapons of greater mystery. However, as the legend of Amakuni was built upon improvement, the sword would come back stronger and stronger with each destruction, rising through the ranks without end.

Personality

A self-proclaimed war hawk. Amakuni is a jovial, hard working sort of person. Someone who thrives in the face of failure, seeking success in a thousand duds. And despite his good natured push for conflict, he himself is not naturally geared for it, possessing a strength that comes without the natural intent to kill. A blood knight that has never tasted or spilt blood. A war profiteer that has never really laid his eyes on the battlefield.

Even more, he is not quite a natural fit for the Saber class, being just a blacksmith and all. He seemed to just have inserted himself in the class most likely to face conflict.

[NittyGritty]

i approve of ayn rand solely on the basis that i would live to see her get squashed by Oscar Wilde or Karl Marx

Class: Berserker
True Name: Adrian Carton de Wiart
Alignment: True Neutral
Place of Origin: England, XX century
Armament: riffles and guns

STRENGE — C
ENDURANCE — D(EX with Noble phantasm)
AGILITY — C
MANA — C
LUCK — D
NP — EX

Class skills:

Mad Enhancement (C) — The Class Skill that characterizes a Berserker, raising basic parameters and strengthens one's physical abilities in exchange of hindering mental capacities and/or in exchange for their sense of reason. Rank up for all parameters, but most of one's reason is robbed.

At first glance, Berserker does not look like a madman - he is silent, calm, emotionally restrained. However, this is only a state of boredom. Berserker is always in a state of thirst for battle. The berserker is not created for a peaceful life, he can even disobey the master and go himself to look for enemies

Personal skills:

Iron Will(EX) — This skill allows the Berserker to negate any form of mental interference. Yes, his zeal for war cannot be stopped by any force.

Berserker has never been afraid of war. He lost an eye, an arm, he was taken prisoner twice, but none of this could stop him. Even his wife and two daughters couldn’t stop him. This is his only skill besides Mad Enhancement. However, he doesn't need more.

Noble Phantasm:
Happy Odyssey(EX)
At the edge of madness, in a time of sadness an immortal soldier finds his home
Target: Self

Crystallization of the thirst for war and his life path. This Noble Phantasm is always active and costs minimal mana.

Berserker is able to survive any attack, up to the level of the anti-world. Whenever his body takes any damage, the flesh is replaced by a machine. If Berserker loses his arm, he will grow a prosthetic arm in seconds. If he loses an eye, a mechanical eye will appear. Eventually, Berserker will become a fully humanoid robot, his END and STR will rise to rank A+ and B+ respectively. However, Berserker also has a weak point - becoming a robot, he will no longer be able to recover and can already be killed. In addition, in this form, the Berserker does not have built-in weapons, but this does not prevent him from remaining a formidable opponent.

Description:

Likes: war, fishing
Dislikes: piece, boredom

Berserker’s true name is sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, British military leader. He took part in the Anglo-Boer and First World Wars, was repeatedly wounded, including severely (he lost his left hand and left eye). After the end of the First World War, he was the head of the British military mission in Poland, took part in the Soviet-Polish, Polish-Ukrainian and Polish-Lithuanian wars. Returning to the UK, in 1924 he retired. With the outbreak of World War II, he was again appointed head of the military mission in Poland, but after the defeat of Poland he returned to Britain, where he took command of the 61st Infantry Division stationed in Northern Ireland. In 1940 he was appointed commander of the British Expeditionary Force in Norway, after the completion of the campaign he was again appointed commander of the 61st Infantry Division. In addition, from 1940 to 1948 he was an honorary colonel of the 4/7th Royal Dragoon Guards.

In 1941, at the head of the British mission, Josip Broz Tito was sent to the Yugoslav partisans, but a few months later he was captured by Italians, where he spent two years. From 1943 to 1946 he was the head of the British military mission in China under Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. In 1947 he retired. He died in 1963 in the homeland of his ancestors, in the town of Killinardish, Irish County Cork.

When out of combat, Carton de Wiart is silent and sullen. At times, he may have outbursts of anger. The reason for this is the usual boredom, in peacetime, the Berserker feels out of place.

He becomes completely different when he is on the battlefield. He enjoys every moment of the battle. Berserker does not have any sense of fear, it is impossible to scare him. Adrian doesn't really care who he fights with - with people, with magicians, fantastic creatures. However, he will not attack the unarmed and defenseless.

Relations:

Jack Churchill: two mad warriors, one who went through all possible conflicts and was wounded many times, the other who used a sword and a bow in the era of machine guns and tanks. It's no surprise that Jack and Adrian genuinely respect each other.

Notes: I love this dude's song and I'm surprised no one in my memory has written sheet music for him yet. How can ignore such an outstanding person?!

Class Skills:

Camoflage D+: She can normally not disguise well, but can melt in and out of wax form to reshape.

Personal Skills:

Human Anatomy Understanting A: She was incredibly skilled at dissection, to the point where she discovered many new parts of the human body when dissecting corpses. This grants her this high rank in the skill denoting her understanding of human bodies, making her more defensively and offensively effective.

Perfect Duplicates B: Some of the body parts she created models of were so perfect they were nigh-indistinguishable from the actual body part. As a skill, any wax thing she creates will appear as duplicates of whatever living thing they're based on, even gaining some of the properties (as long as they are physical and not magical or electrical)

Capillary and Nerve C: She was the first artist to reproduce miniscule parts, more specifically capillaries and nerves, in wax form. This allows her to manifest capillaries and nerves out of thin air. Capillaries, due to normally holding blood, now hold liquid wax, which she can use to replenish herself, while the nerves hold fire.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Supollex Manzoliniana
My Endless Sculptures


Type: Support
Rank: C
Range: 0 meters
Max Targets: 0 target

The sublimation of her creation of many wax models known collectively as Supollex Manzoliniana. Firstly passively her body becomes wax, essentially, allowing her to reshape herself to her will, melting and reforming. In addition, she can manifest these statues out of her wax, each one capable of appearing identical to particular entities and moving to her will.

Lore: Anna Morandi Manzolini (1714-1774) was a famous anatomist and wax modeler who worked at the University of Bologna, being a lecturer in anatomy. She is most noted for her Supollex Manzolinia, her collection of wax models desperately seeked to use as tools for researching and studying anatomy.

Personality: A shy and quiet person, she often melts and seperates herself to avoid being noticed, or reshapes herself into a potted plant. She dislikes seeing death, though she knows it will happen in front of her during the Grail War, and so she's prepping her mind to be ready for it. Her wish for the Grail is to be able to never have to see death again.

Relationships:

Madame Tussaud: "Why do you love death? It is a thing to be hated, not revered."

Candileja: "Humanity's demise? .....Eep...."

Princess Caraboo: "You were....very impressive, I think."

Eva Peron: "Such a kind person..."

"Anyone can become a pirate, all they need... is the desire for freedom burning within their hearts! Now then summoner, how would you care to be my First Mate?"

Rider of PiracyFaker Of Escapism:

Appearance:


True Name: Jose GasparJohn Gomez

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Armaments: Chained anchor, cutlass, musket.

Strength- D
Agility- C
Endurance- C+
Mana- D
Luck- C
NP- CA

Personality

A boisterous and larger-than-life individual who acts like a stereotypical pirate, frequently peppering his speech with 「Arrs」 and 「Avast Ye Mateys」. However Rider is peculiarly harmless for a pirate, never actually killing or terrorizing anyone but just wanting to have fun with his crew. He has rage against pirates who actually harm innocents, referring to them as 「fake」. Rider particularly loves boasting of his exploits across history such as stealing the Spanish queen's crown-jewels or escaping from a Cuban prison. Although the tales he tells frequently contradict themselves Rider never seems to mind this, merely laughing and claiming 「the truth has been swallowed up by the briny sea」. In truth Faker was never a pirate himself, and his admiration for them is purely based on the ideals of freedom and romance they personified, rather than the brutal reality. While he delights in weaving exaggerated tales about himself Faker doesn't care if anyone believes him, but is merely happy entertaining them with larger-than-life fictions. He especially gets along with children for that reason. Faker in fact hates anyone who'd oppress others or steal their freedom away, which is part of why he took up the mantle of a pirate.

When not acting the part of a swashbuckling pirate-king Faker enjoys simple outdoorsy activities like fishing and boating like he did in life. His wish on the Holy Grail is simply to continue spreading the legend of Jose Gaspar as widely as possible.

Likes: freedom, the smiles of children

An inveterate (yet harmless) swindler and self-promoter Faker falsified many details of his life over the years including his age (having claimed to be 125 years old) and various exploits. Allows to pass off as his former (fictional) pirate captain Jose Gaspar in the Rider Class.


Personal Skills:

Voyager Of The StormStoryteller- B
The talent to sail vessels recognized as ships. Because capability as a group leader is necessary, this Skill also includes Charisma and Military Tactics at the same rank. As a great pirate captain, Rider naturally boasts a high rank.A Skill that displays one's amazing eloquence with verbally narrating tales and legends. It is completely different from the written craft of literature, and adapts to the mood and mental state of the listener by selecting the most appropriate way of reciting the story, a storytelling ability specialized in improvisation. It is likely that Rakugo storytelling Heroic Spirits also carry this Skill.

From having seen Napoleon as a youth in France, to serving as a scout in the U.S army during the Seminole Wars to sailing the world under legendary pirate captain Jose Gaspar Faker continually beguiled and bemused with extravagant claims of his adventurous life. Yet the truth of these assertions was never the matter for Faker, as his greatest wish was simply to delight others with sparkling tales of romance and gallantry. Now having manifested as a Servant under the guise of his fictional captain, Faker will continue devoting himself to ensure the legend of 「Jose Gaspar」 sings out to all with dreams of freedom in their hearts.

Honor Of PiracyInfatuation For Piracy- A
A Skill deriving from a pirate's peculiar sense of values. Low-ranking Bravery, Mental Pollution and Battle Continuation are included. Extolled as the last bastion of the old age of piracy, Rider possesses a high rank in this Skill.One's idealization for a life of piracy on the high seas... despite never having participated in it themselves. While Faker spun countless tall tales in life, greatest of these was his claim to be the last surviving crew of legendary pirate-captain Jose Gaspar. In truth 「Jose Gaspar」 never actually existed, having been invented by Faker himself. The legend he birthed went on to far eclipse Faker in renown, indelibly entangling his existence with piracy and adventure.

This Skill accredits Faker Honor Of Piracy and Voyager Of The Storm at rank C to exemplify his role (performance) as pirate-king. Furthermore due to his own admiration of them in life and Gaspar's legend being grafted on to that of other famous pirates to bolster his veracity, Faker is able to recognize with a glance Heroic Spirits who made a name for themselves by plundering on the seas.

Golden RuleMystery Of The Treasure- C
Qualifies one's fortune to acquire wealth. At this rank Rider is guaranteed a life untroubled by money. According to legend Rider left a great treasure behind somewhere on the coast of Florida before his death. The treasure has never been found to this day, but its worth is estimated to be easily amongst millions of dollars.Jose Gaspar was said to have left an enormous treasure totaling somewhere around 30 million dollars along the coast of Florida before he died. While the treasure like Gaspar himself never actually existed, rumors of it nevertheless served to bolster tourism to the region, a form of 「self-fulfilling prophecy」.

This Skill gives the appearance of Faker having Golden Rule at rank C, however it offers no actual bonus in terms of gathering wealth. When Faker dies the leylines around his passing are enriched, granting good luck to those who live there. Small businesses are more likely to succeed and even the land becomes preternaturally fertile, while a mental interference inspires passersby to come settle there with promises of prosperity.

Noble Phantasm

Floridablanca

Scourge Of The High Seas

Rank: C

Type: Anti-Army

Rider's signature pirate ship, accompanying him on all his legendary raids. Due to its connection with his legend Rider can manifest the vessel as his Noble Phantasm. It takes the form of a large, archetypal-looking pirate ship, complete with a skull-and-crossbones emblazoned mast and several large cannons lining the hull.

Offensively, the ship can fire cannonballs equal to B-ranked Noble Phantasms as well as ram opponents with its prow in a powerful charging attack. Though obviously built for the seas, it can 「sail」 across land as well, churning up the earth in its path like water. The basis for this ability- which Rider's ship obviously didn't possess in life- is unclear, though it might just be a blessing of the Grail to make his Noble Phantasm more useful given the landlocked nature of most Grail Wars.

However other than that the vessel has no special abilities, making it somewhat underwhelming as Rider's sole Noble Phantasm. Is that really all there is to it...?Is that really all there is to it...?

Gasparilla

Neverending Festival Of Piracy

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Legend

Faker's true Noble Phantasm, crystallizing the festival held in his captain's name in modern day Florida. In it, countless people would dress up as pirates in Gaspar's crew and playfully 「invade」 the city. Then the pretend pirates would celebrate their 「conquest」 with a great festival, engaging in a day-long parade of drinking, partying and general merriment across Florida. This festival is incredibly popular, being the third biggest parade in all America.

Despite being established after his death, as the one who invented the fame of Jose Gaspar Faker fittingly wields its culmination as his Noble Phantasm. It serves as a grand illusion maintaining Faker's existence as 「Jose Gaspar」, allowing a mere tourguide and boat-pilot to qualify as a Servant under the guise of his famous captain. However, that is only a fraction of this Noble Phantasm's true worth.

In the parade anyone could become part of Gaspar's crew. Even if it was only for a day, in those fleeting moments they could indulge in the thrill and romance of an imagined life of piracy on the high seas. It can be said that on the Gasparilla Festival, 「everyone becomes Jose Gaspar」.

As such by invoking its true name Faker can pass on the title of 「Jose Gaspar」 to others, imbuing them with a fragment of his Saint Graph. Those affected retain their original personality and memories, but gain all of 「Rider's」 parameters, Class and Personal Skills and even his Noble Phantasm. These are not merely offshoots, as each and every one of them is a genuine 「another possibility of Jose Gaspar」. As such even if Faker dies the 「Jose Gaspars」 he creates will not disappear nor lose their powers, but continue to carry on his legend after him.

This grants Faker a bizarre form of 「Battle Continuation」 at rank EX. Even if his body is riddled with bullets and his head severed by a cutlass, so long as others continue holding dreams of freedom and adventure in their hearts, Jose Gaspar shall live on. An absurdity that perpetuates his existence as a Servant through endless digressions, making it impossible to truly snuff out Faker unless every 「Jose Gaspar」 is killed. Since they possess Gasparilla as well, they can impart its effects to others, feeding the cycle and potentially creating an entire parade of Jose Gaspars.

Surpassing the ability of a swindler, this is the manifestation of Faker's natural kindness in wishing to share his dreams. Allowing everyone a life of adventure, free of oppression or burdens... he knows every dream has to end someday, but at least wishes to leave a bright memory imprinted in people's hearts.

However the fostering of multiple Servant-level existences naturally multiplies Faker's magical-energy cost. As Faker is a relatively Mana-inexpensive Servant an average Master would be able to sustain five or ten Jose Gaspars in existence without noticeably weakening his parameters. For high-tier Mages such as Rin Tohsaka this reaches the level of dozens, while those gifted in a truly outrageous amount of magical energy like Flat Escardos could fuel hundreds of Jose Gaspars at a time. If Faker's Master is killed the contract is broken and all Jose Gaspars lose their power.

This Noble Phantasm further passively allows Faker to manifest a large pirate-ship as his mount, a vessel being the necessity for any pirate worth their (sea-)salt. This is armed with several cannons and can 「sail」 over land as well as sea, although it's otherwise only a lesser E-ranked Phantasm with no special qualities. Faker himself pretends the ship to be his main Noble Phantasm, calling it

Floridablanca

Scourge Of The High Seas

. Every Jose Gaspar shares ownership of this vessel, and it can't be summoned if another is currently using it at the time.

[RoydGolden]

Manzolini: First off woah is that FC big. Her wax body kind of reminds me of followers of the Desolation from Magnus Archives but more wholesome rather than eldritch-y. Her being so shy she melts into wax to avoid being seen is a pretty adorable touch. Any thoughts on my Gaspar/Gomez?

[Shezum3]

The King and Jester


Panki, Khoy! YA Zhivoy, akhakhakhakhakha! I'm sorry, master, I couldn't not say that. In short, I am Caster and my name is Gorshok. Now let's rock 'n' roll, huh!


Class: Caster
True Name: Mikhail Gorshenev aka Gorshok(Translated into English Pot)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Place of Origin: USSR
Armament: Guitar, pirate flag


STRENGE — D
ENDURANCE— B
AGILITY — D
MANA — B
LUCK — C
NP — B

Class skills:

Territory Creation(B)

The skill of creating a special area that is beneficial to oneself as a magician, for example, to collect mana. Caster, because of his songs, can create an estate or a small house, which is necessary for his Noble Phantasm.

Item Construction(D, B with Noble Phantasm)

Caster is able to create sheets of his songs, however with Noble Phantasm he is able to create items such as a head-ripping hat, a Joker card, and other items from his songs.

Personal skills:

Innocent Monster(C)

An attribute possessed by Servants whose true history and existence have been distorted by the monstrous reputations and gossips they accrued across the course of their life and thereafter, without concern for the actual person's will or appearance. As a consequence, the Servant's abilities and appearance have been rendered to conform to the specifications of their legend.

Caster merged with his character from the Dead Anarchist song. In general, this did not greatly affect his character; by nature, Caster is a living dead. Sunlight and church rituals are very dangerous for Caster and can completely destroy his body. However, Caster cannot be killed by normal means, even if his head is cut off. An obscene gesture is permanently fixed on one of his hands, but this does not prevent him from playing the guitar. One of the effects of this skill is a pirate flag, which is one of his Noble Phantasms.

Ah, Mertvyy anarkhist. It was a fucking song, I didn’t know, however, that it would backfire on me like that. Although... that's cool too. I don’t think that any punk can boast that he is able to play football with his own head

Eye for Art(C)

Caster can reveal the servant's true name if the servant is associated with European and Slavic folklore or rock music

Damn, I was thinking - if all sorts of celebrities are fighting in this war, then I can meet Elvis Presley and Kurt Cobain themselves. Christmas trees, sticks, it will be cool if I sing with them. Then the fight will not be so offensive

Musician's Charisma(B+)

A special kind of charisma, which is not in words, but in songs and music. The rank increases if Caster is summoned on the territory of the CIS countries

How I want to feel again the joy of performing in front of the public with new songs. So, master, leave me for a while, right now I will make a song

Noble Phantasm:

Флаг Мертвого Анархизма
Party of the Living Dead(C)
Anti-Dead

A situational Noble Phantasm available through the Innocent Monster skill. From himself, he is a pirate flag with a staff and wood. He does not possess special fighting qualities, except perhaps increased strength.

Its activation does not require the pronunciation of its name. The property of this flag is the effect on the undead and low-level Dead Apostles. At the sight of the flag, they will join Caster. Since phantasm is associated with anarchism, it has the ability to break any contracts. Even if the undead were summoned by a magician or servant, then they will join Caster's party

Король и Шут
Jolly Realm of the Jester King(A)
Anti-Country

The crystallization of all Custer's work, the country where the heroes of his songs come to life. The following conditions are required for its activation:

1)An estate must be created
2)The estate should be located in the forest, away from large human settlements. Villages, detached houses, small towns, farms and etc do not count.
3)At the time of activation, there must be a Full Moon in the sky

When all these conditions are met, Caster will start playing the song of the same name, transforming the area around the estate into his Reality Marble.

At first glance, nothing changes. However, soon the scenes of Custer's songs begin to come to life in the changed area. Here you can meet a forester who can control wolves, a girl who can turn men into donkeys (mostly by accident), a clown with a living shadow, an enraged grandfather with a pitchfork and other characters. Temporal anomalies can also occur in this area, such as meeting a self from the past or stopping time for one person. Caster himself has no control over what exactly can appear in the territory of his Noble Phantasm, however, he is completely immune to all its effects, since he is his king. The master is not advised to move away from Caster in the territory of the kingdom

Description:

Likes: Rock N Roll, rum, his family and friends, parties with songs, Nestor Makhno
Dislikes: That he can't get drunk in this state, drugs, an insult to his band

The true name of Caster is Mikhail Gorshenev, known as Gorshok, Russian musician, founder and ideological inspirer of the rock band "Korol i Shut", composer, author of music and some texts of the band. Gorshenev formed the band in 1988 with his classmates. Shortly thereafter, he invited his friend Andrei Knyazev (also known as Knyaz) to join the group. Knyazev will become the second singer and main lyricist. The band's music consisted of various elements of punk rock, hard rock, art rock, and gothic rock. "Korol i Shut" became the number one rock band in Russia. They were the most successful and famous Russian punk and hard rock band of the decade (2001–2011). The group was nominated for almost all Russian music awards and won almost all of them. Mikhail also worked in the theater and collaborated extensively with other Russian rock musicians. Mikhail was widely known for his menacing and sinister stage presence. For a long time he had almost no upper teeth (he lost them by the age of 10). By the beginning of the 21st century, he had only two fangs in his upper jaw, and this made him look like a vampire or a demon. Later, Gorshenyov began to use dentures. He died in 2013 due to heart failure due to alcoholic cardiomyopathy, which is due to drugs.

Being summoned as a Servant, Mikhail sincerely rejoices at the opportunity to live once again. He is very worried that he cannot come to old friends and family, but he hopes that they are doing well.

Despite his threatening appearance, Gorshenev is a kind, cheerful and intelligent person, always ready to help his friends. However, he has a short temper and is not averse to waving his fists. He is straightforward and if he considers his master an asshole, he will say it to his face.

Caster loves fun more than war. He may well invite the enemy servant to throw a party with booze and songs, but if the battle is inevitable or the enemy is too vicious and cruel, then Gorshok will not hold back. His desire is to start his life anew. Only this

Relations:

Iskandar: I was ready for anything, but for the fact that I would drink and play Europa Universalis with Alexander the Great himself ... life did not prepare me for this

Nestor Makhno: Gorshenev respects Batko Makhno, whom he glorified in one of his songs. He even learned Ukrainian for this.

Notes: Yes, I am from Russia. I grew up on Gorshk's songs, alas, I could not see him at the concert - he had already died. If you like this concept, then you can use the character in your work. It's the only thing I can do for him

https://youtu.be/AfkUu4TDBK8 — This is his song about Nestor Makhno.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...bvEGREi_tRQNNA – these are a few of his songs that have been translated into English. He himself wanted to learn this language in order to sing his masterpieces to the whole world. Unfortunately, fate did not work out

Caster of Immortality


(by Toujou Sakana. On Pixiv)

"Of course, the greatest stories of all time would be assembled in one place… to be used as mere soldiers in war. But even I can't escape the war effort, like I've ended up back at my start."

True Name: Osamu Tezuka
Aliases: The God of Manga, Osamushi, Gashagasha-atama
Alt. Classes: Ruler, Alter Ego (as Blackjack outright)
Source: History
Region: Japan
Catalyst: The rumoured final chapters of Phoenix
Armament: Pen, surgical scalpel, phoenix flames

Character: "Manga is dreaming. Manga is reality. Manga is eternal. Manga is immediate. Manga is love. Manga is life. Manga is… fine, I see you've got the picture."

The 'God' of Manga who made the artform and anime into what it is today, bringing it back from its war propaganda and synthesising Japanese arts and stories with Western ones. Not that all this was accomplished as single-handedly as some would claim…

Originally Osamu Tezuka seemed set on the path of doctor, after his illness was cured by one at an early age. However, his introduction to the new to him world of Western cartoons and comics, especially after World War II (in which he'd been drafted to serve as a factory worker), ultimately led him down the path of a mangaka instead, despite being far less profitable.

Fortunately, his manga career took off with his title New Treasure Island before exploding with his hit Tetsuwan Atom/Astro Boy, which was later adapted into one of the first 'modern' anime (by common use of the term anyway) and probably the first to take off in the US. Unlike his inspiration and common conspiration Walt Disney though, he wrote just as much for adults as for children, a stand-out example being A Thousand and One Nights, which has been called the first ever adult animated film.

Osamu Tezuka however was, and as Caster is, not exactly a team player (ironically given baseball being his favourite sport). His inclination is to be either the leader of any team or to do all the work himself, giving him trouble when it comes to group dynamics, and insists on being #1 in his field no matter the cost. Despite the speed with which he can work, he's also notorious for missing or barely making deadlines. That said, his animation companies Mushi then Tezuka companies were quite generous with paying their workers, at least in comparison to Toei Animation at the time (who Tezuka quickly got off on the wrong foot with).

Having made over seven hundred manga in his lifetime, Tezuka was still committed to work even when dying of stomach cancer. As his life began (1928) near the beginning (1926) of Japan's Showa Era, so it ended in its final year of 1989, with another era, of anime and manga, ending along with him. His personal manga opus, the multi-part Phoenix, would be left unfinished.

Summoned as Caster, he takes an instant dislike to the Grail War, as he does to war in general. At the same time, he'd never pass up the chance to be summoned, as it means getting the opportunity once again to live, write, and draw, to finish business left unfinished.

Attribute: Star
Alignment: Neutral Good, can verge on True Neutral though
Likes: Leading projects, Entomology, Baseball, the Takarazuka Revue
Dislikes: Being a team player, war, environmental destruction, people rifling through his drawers

Relationships

• Buddha: "I'm surprised you can even be summoned as a Servant, thought you'd be beyond the Grail, er, Moon-Cell in your case, by now. Say, you don't mind anachronisms, do you?"
• Vlad Tepes: "If anything, being a vampire makes you more likable. At least gives you something of an excuse for your brutality."
• Scheherazade: "I thought around 700 was a lot, imagine me creating 1,001 manga. I mean, I would've done so if I could. Anyway, you were the inspiration for a ground-breaking movie of mine… which might be otherwise awkward to bring up."
• Mephistopheles: "Huh, I realise Goethe, Marlowe, and I may've hyped you up a bit much."
• Himiko: "Ahem, you appear to be relatively nicer than I portrayed you."
• Voyager: "I'd like to think there's some DNA of my Atom in you. Well, maybe I'm taking too much of the credit."
• Beethoven: "So, have any thoughts on peacocks? Seriously though, where's Sun Wukong already?"
• Bolivar: "You know, you look just like you stepped off the stage at the Takarazuka Revue. Believe me, I should know."
• Yoshitsugu: "Perhaps if you were born in my time, we would've been able to help you. Still, you lasted commendably long…"
• Cacareco: "Oh, you're a human-animal hybrid as a Servant? That's, er, interesting..."
• Shotaro Ishinomori: "Please don't be summoned, this could be my chance to finally beat your record…"
• Walt Disney: "Nice meeting you again, but er, Archer Class, really?"

Master: Someone who seeks to be the absolute best in their field, yet at the same time has an awareness of their mortality. Someone that believes in being remembered

Natural Enemy: Toei Animation, will naturally flinch if Puss in Boots is summoned as a Servant. Immortality-seekers like Gilgamesh, Koschei, or the Einzberns. On a less serious note, has something of a rivalry with Shotaro Ishinomori, given he beat him to the World Record for Comics Created.

Wish: Simply to have more time to write and draw, to have the chance to finish Phoenix, something being summoned already grants him… or would if not for the pressures of the Grail War.

Class Skills

Divinity

Level of closeness to a Divine Spirit.

• Rank E: While Caster has no divine heritage, one of his most widespread epithets is the 'God of Manga', with the hero worship he's attracted arguably comparable to a god.

Item Construction

Skill to manufacture items.

• Rank C: Through drawing and writing, allows for access to the 'Toon Force'. This enables the recreation of objects and even characters as familiars, or 'actors' as he calls them, from his own body of work. Said body of work exceeding seven-hundred titles, he has more than enough already prepared.

Territory Creation

Creation of an environment befitting a magus.

• Rank B: Allows for the creation of a multi-purpose Artist Study and Animation Studio, with Wraiths employed to assist him and speed up the animation process even faster. This Workshop can also become a makeshift Doctor's Office when need be.

Personal Skills

Appreciation of the Arts

Infatuation with works of art.

• Rank B+: There is a high chance one will be able to figure out the name of a Noble Phantasm with artistic anecdotes. For Caster, this Skill is boosted further if the Phantasm belongs to any figure he once wrote about, e.g., the Buddha, Dracula, Scheherazade, Beethoven, etc.

Innovation – Manga & Anime

The mark of one who transformed the world. A conceptual revolution specific to Osamu Tezuka.

• Rank A: Caster is still regarded today as the most important and influential person in the fields of manga and anime, even if this remembering of him is arguably one-sided. His blending of Eastern and Western art styles, introduction of limited animation to make anime work with TV schedules (around the same time Hanna-Barbera did so in the West), and introduction of the 'Star System' of established character portraits. This allows him to create what in Moon-Cell terms would be called NPCs, rapidly drawing up characters from his works to act in roles entwined the overall series of events that is the Grail War.

Surgical Procedure

Training in surgical repair with a scalpel.

• Rank C: Although primarily known as a mangaka and animation studio head, Caster's initial goal in life was, like his ancestor Ryoan Tezuka, to become a doctor after he was treated by one at a young age. He made significant progress in the field too before he switched over to manga and anime full time, though would continue to draw on his doctoring background for manga ideas. While a skilled physician, he nevertheless has an… unusual approach to surgery. Talk of making artificial anuses might come up.

(A/N: There were actually a whole bunch of Skills I had in mind that didn't make the cut, such as Familiar [Beetles], Mystic Eyes [Anime], and a new one called Zeitgeist - Showa Era... which I couldn't think of anything interesting to have it actually do)


Noble Phantasm

Hinotori
Flames of Rebirth that Incinerate Immortality

Rank: E+-A+
Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-Immortality

In the eyes of the God of Manga, his own Magnum Opus Phoenix that took him decades to write, and even at the end of his life wasn't truly finished. The most consistent theme throughout the manga was the futility of mankind's quest of immortality and the exaltation of reincarnation instead, with immortality shown as either impossible or a curse.

Whenever Caster's own blood touches the ground, be it by getting hit or him making his own laceration, the drops promptly burst into flames. As normal flames are fuelled by oxygen, these flames are fuelled by how much Caster's Target desires immortality, or claims to already possess it (e.g., via the Divinity skill). For example, against your usual immortality-seeking alchemist it'd become an A-Rank Noble Phantasm, but against anyone who's fully accepted death, whether peacefully or fatalistically, it would only be E-Rank.

Given the Grail itself embodying the Third Magic, these flames can travel particularly well along Grail-connected ley lines, and with its concept of enforcing reincarnation, it still gains a plus Rank against all standard Servants for being from the Throne (but not Masters, making it a rare Phantasm that does less damage to non-Servants).

The ultimate effect of this Noble Phantasm reveals enough once the flames have managed to completely burn a Target away. With his combined knowledge of drawing, writing, and surgery, Caster is then able to completely reconstruct or 'reincarnate' the Target to his own design, making them a 'Tezuka Star' like he did with several existing Legends including the Buddha, Dracula, Himiko, Faust, Sun Wukong, and so forth. Or he could just leave the target to burn away if they give him no inspiration, but if Caster does get an idea, he can't just leave it be.

Of course, what makes it ironic that Tezuka would possess this Phantasm is, while he was never someone who wished for immortality (expect maybe through art), he was someone who pleaded to be allowed to live longer, who swears he could've completed his life's work if he just had more time.

[RoydGolden]

Tezuka: Pretty good sheet that does justice to the "God of Manga". I remember bringing this up for your Michael Collins sheet too but does his Innovation variant straight-up do nothing? And while I can see you wanted an example to illustrate I'd question Archer Gil having such a strong desire for immortality either. His "Immortality? Heh, I gave that to the snake" line is from the original F/SN after all. That NP is pretty hax. Its ultimate effect reminds me a little of Faust's Instant-Kill from Guilty Gear.

[NailsInYourFeet]

I decided to have his Star System be more closely linked with his Innovation skill, rather than Item Creation, since while characters are drawings it's kinda awkward to call them 'Items'. Plus plenty of other mangaka took up his Star System concept after him

That makes sense. And it's occurred to me Mashima would be another example with his Erza/Jellal samefaces.

Mashima made a third Sieghart clone in Eden's Zero?
