    For what it's worth, Jishara, I actually think it's pretty cool how you have the motivation to write so much so fast. Props to you for completing the Jewel Sword, because pulling it from another dimension is the only explanation I can come up with for how you manage to keep up the creative drive so consistently.

    Yeah, as a couple have said, don't mind Nine, Jishara. You do a great job, and it really is amazing how you manage to balance quality and quantity. It's a wonderful thing to have someone as enthusiastic as you making sheets, so ignore the grinch when it comes to speed. You do a great job.

    Traits: Male, Humanoid, Weak to Enuma Elish
    Armament: Harq Alghusn
    Catalyst: A bramble, a burning axe

    Class Skills:

    Mad Enhancement C: A savage mindset completely obsessed with destruction and domination. Mutual understanding is impossible.

    Personal Skills:

    Salting the Fields A: He notably salted the fields upon the destruction of the people who tried to rebel against him in Sheshem. This manifests as a curse, the more he injures a target with any particular item, although he prefers his axe, their mana will be sapped and their "maximum mana" will be slowly cut.

    Seventy for Seventy B: The sublimation of him being granted 70 Silver Shekels and then killing his seventy half-brothers to hold the throne fully by himself. This manifests as an ability that enhances his offense in a "chain", attacking targets similar or the same to recent targets. This, as a visual effect, transforms him closer and closer to silver, also enhancing his endurance.

    The Bramble King B: He was called the "Bramble King" as the subject of a famous parable by his halfbrother Jotham. Sublimating this, he gains the ability to manifest and control brambles, dragging down their targets and instilling an aura of "domination" around him, wherever they may spread.

    Harq Alghusn
    The Burning Bough

    Type: Anti-Army
    Rank: C
    Range: 20 meters
    Max Targets: 100 targets

    The sublimation of him and his men chopping down many tree boughs and lighting them on fire to burn out the remains of the rebels. This manifests as an axe made of cedarwood. When the true name is called, titanic burning "brambles" manifest out of the axe as he swings, following his targets to destroy them in an inferno of destruction.

    Lore: Abimelech was a famous Biblical king and son of Gideon noted for his taking control of the kingdom for a large amount of time becoming the first king of Israel, wiping out his seventy half-brothers and destroying all dissent until his loss in battle, getting impaled by a sword

    Personality: A person who has lost most of his sanity and became obsessed with domination and destruction. He hates those who attempt to hold him back for any reason whatsoever, even if that reason is something like "If you destroy all of your own territory, how will you dominate it?" His wish is to control a country again and destroy it.

    Relationships:

    Eglon: "Consumption is nice, on that we agree, but why on earth are you not destroying it all?"

    Saint Catherine: "No, no, no, none of those pesky arguments will work on me."

    Delilah: "When the Eldritch deity of fish disagrees with your goals you know you're doing something right."

    Huascar: "Razing the fields? Good. GOOD! Now take it even further."

    Pachacuti: "Stability through destruction? Boring."

    Huayna Capac: "What do you mean storehouses? Get your enemies' heads, not roads!"

    Louis XI: "Spider? The better to crush I suppose."

    Abimelech: Biblical Servants are kind of my jam (I even dedicated my contest theme to them) so I appreciated seeing this one. His Skills are fitting and flavorful although for the second one, I take it's that he gains bonuses while consecutively attacking multiple opponents and not that damage from a single attack "spills over" to affect nearby targets right?

    Lancer - Pinocchio

    Lancer of Lies


    (by SanyokZa. Source)

    “Guess I’m Lancer. This Grail War sure sounds like fun, but I dunno, might just be another way of beating some moral lessons into me. Again.”

    True Name: Pinocchio
    Alias: Pine Eye
    Alt. Classes: Rider (mount), (non-standard) Berserker, Saver (as a ‘real boy’)
    Source: Fiction, The Adventures of Pinocchio
    Region: Italy, Fairytales
    Catalyst: Pinewood from a forest in Tuscany.
    Armament: Nose ‘lance’

    Character: “Me? You’re looking at no less than the automaton Talos! *nose grows* Ah, would you believe the Golem of Prague? *grows again* Er, Arlecchino? *keeps growing* Geez, this ‘identity concealing’ thing’s gonna be tough.”

    Possibly the most famous character of modern Italian fiction, Pinocchio was a living puppet carved from seemingly enchanted wood, as said wood howled in pain upon being cut. As was the norm for children’s fiction at the time, the many, many adventures Pinocchio went on to ‘become a real boy’ were often heavily moralistic in nature, with a greater focus on elaborate punishments for bad behaviour than rewarding good behaviour.

    Recounting all his adventures would take forever, but some of the more stand-out ones include killing the cricket who tried to be his conscience, being hanged by a fox and cat (as much as a puppet can be hanged), being found guilty by a gorilla judge, being turned into a donkey as punishment for hedonism in Toyland, saving his carver Geppetto from (depending on who you ask) the belly of a giant dogfish, shark, or whale, and having his nose grow from his lies.

    With morality beaten into him continuously through punishment, Pinocchio was ultimately turned human by the ‘Turquoise Fairy’, a being unbound by age and time and who once claimed to be a ghost. Even then though, it can be questioned if he truly learned good behaviour, or simply learned to avoid bad behaviour after repeatedly suffering its consequences, leaving him with an impulse fear of having just done something ‘wrong’.

    Regardless, as Lancer he is summoned as he was for most of his tale, a puppet boy told he’ll become human through being good… while also seeing a bunch of humans and non-wooden animals behaving badly at the same time, without any risk of puppet-isation. He does quite like the modern world, since it has relatively more opportunities for fun and a comparatively more relaxed morality (since he’s from the 19th century, that’s a low bar to clear), with media like film, television, video games, and the Internet barely conceivable in his time. Though if the constant societal demand to work and study has gone nowhere

    Attribute: Star
    Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
    Likes: Doing what’s fun, shirking his duties, having the whole world to see
    Dislikes: Strings both literal and moral, poverty, continuously falling for cons
    Relationships

    • Cathy Morland: “Wow, Miss Fairy would have a field day with you. At least I know when I’m lying. And sheesh, your idea of fun is just reading?”
    • Estella: “I’m told being moral is what being human’s about, but… you were human to begin with, yet you act like wood. Hey, no offence, you said so yourself.”
    • Elagabalus: “History Class is almost nothing but Roman Emperors, yet it woulda been way more interesting had they mentioned you.”
    • John Bauer: “Okay, maybe my nose growing’s not so bad compared to, er, how the fairies punished you.”
    • Glinda: “Huh, so it’s not just Miss Fairy, the Fae Folk really do hate lying. Like, she just makes my nose grow, you g-g-garotte people for lying!”
    • Ludwig II: “You keep lying to yourself ‘cause the truth’s too painful? Weird they call you the Fairy Tale King then, fairies tend to hate it when you do that.”
    • Casati: “Wow, and folks were worried about us becoming bad. Sounds like Italy’s next generation grew up super badly behaved.”
    • Grimm: “Jut as I thought, your stories are nothing but moral lessons! Really, really brutal moral lessons, huh, I’m starting to think I got off good now.”
    • Igor: “I get transformed if I’m good, you get transformed if you help your master do evil. Huh, think it’d be easier if we switched places?”

    Master: A delicate balancing act since any Master too lawful and demanding will likely inspire disobedience from Lancer in reaction. However, someone more chaotic or irresponsible may get along well with Lancer at first but could end up enabling his worse and more self-destructive behaviour.
    Natural Enemy: ‘Fox and the Cat’, the Terrible Dogfish, moralisers in general
    Wish: While to become a real boy is always there in the back of his mind, he just as much desires the ability to just goof off and have fun, with constant fear of punishment.
    Keywords: Puppet, Real Boy, Conscience, Lying, Nose
    Rarity: 2/5

    Parameters

    • Strength: ***** D
    • Endurance: ***** B
    • Agility: ***** D
    • Magic: ***** C
    • Luck: ***** D+
    • Noble Phantasm: ***** C+


    Class Skills


    Magic Resistance


    Built-up immunity to magic.

    • Rank B: Despite only dating back to the nineteenth century, Lancer has had surprisingly high contact with magic, having had frequently encounters with a fairy (or ghost, or hybrid thereof), talking animals, and having been born from enchanted wood himself. Cancel spells with a chant below three verses.


    Personal Skills


    Animal Dialogue


    The ability to communicate with standard animals, despite their lack of a proper worded language.

    • Rank B: Encountering animals that could talk was a surprisingly regular experience for Lancer. It is possible that him having been carved from enchanted wood, thus having a non-human origin, may have facilitated this ability. At this Rank, Lancer will have little trouble communicating with animals in general, though certain individual animals will give him more than his share of grief.

    Fairy Contract

    A human pact with the fairy kind.

    • Rank B: Lancer made a promise to the ‘Turquoise Fairy’, who may alternatively be a ghost or even apparition of the Virgin Mary, to work, study and be moral, essentially becoming Lawful Good as we might now say, in exchange for complete transformation into a human. Given Lancer’s own hedonistic and easily swayed nature and grievances with moralists, doing so can be quite the effort for him. Raises the effectiveness of any action that can be considered ‘Lawful Good’, as well as summoning familiars to whittle his nose back to normal size.

    Protection of the Spirits

    A blessing from the Elementals that increases one’s Luck in dangerous situations.

    • Rank B: Lancer had numerous brushes with death and disfiguration only to survive, partly because of his wooden frame but also due to the good fortune bestowed on him by the Turquoise Fairy. Adds plusses to his Luck Rank depending on a situation’s threat level.

    Wooden Heart

    Denotes not only a physical but also mental constitution of wood.

    • Rank A: Being a wooden puppet, Lancer’s physiology grants him many surprise resistances, meaning he can’t be suffocated, drowned, or electrocuted, though does gain a weakness to fire in return. But his ‘wooden’ nature extends also to his mindset, where being a sentient puppet he is considered an inherently amoral being who must put in extra effort to ‘do good’. However, he is not immoral either, so while his behaviour is foolhardy he does not actively seek to harm people.


    Noble Phantasm

    The Nose Knows
    Length of a Liar

    Rank: C+
    Type: Anti-Unit, potentially Anti-Army if it gets long enough

    Lancer’s most iconic physical attribute apart from him being made of wood. With each lie he tells his nose grows longer, with each growth in proportion to how far the lie is from the truth. While this may be a natural trait of his due to the enchanted wood he was carved from, another explanation is that the Turquoise Fairy imposed this onto him as a punishment, one that would brand him for not telling the truth. You could even say being a ‘lie’ is inherent to Lancer’s being as a puppet trying to act human.

    As a Servant however, this can be repurposed as a surprise weapon that Lancer can spring out at or side-swipe opponents with, even if it’s a dead giveaway to his identity (if being a puppet wasn’t already). Two other downsides are that enemies will automatically be able to tell when what Lancer says is a lie, and that the nose won’t return to normal size on its own, needing to be whittled down.

    Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Phantasm is a special attack that can be launched whenever Lancer invokes a variant of the liar’s paradox by saying ‘My nose will now grow’. For if it then grew, he’d have told the truth, but for that statement to be a lie, it’d have to not grow. The result is a quantum superposition where lancer’s nose simultaneously does and does not grow, resulting in an unavoidable attack to anyone currently observing his nose.

    I recently came back from my last O'lvls paper (Really important) so I was kinda gone during the whole argument.
    Wanted to give my two cents on this affair.
    Jishara, post all the servants you want.

    I definitely knew I wanted to incorporate the Pinocchio Paradox in there somewhere, just wasn't sure how, so like with a lot of paradoxes I defaulted to quantum physics. Even though the easier way would be to say it's a false prediction rather than a lie, but in a Servant context that'd just be doing nothing with it

    The nose and puppet-like look were why I went with the Spamton FC, though I later remembered Spamton actually does use strings

    Natural Enemy: Zhengde Emperor, Heo Jun
    Attribute: Man
    Traits: Male, Weak to Enuma Elish, Humanoid
    Armament: A bow and arrows
    Catalyst: Sungkyunkwan

    Class Skills:

    Oblivion Correction C: His grudge will never end against all of humanity, those who deposed him.

    Avenger A: The skill of an Avenger who collects grudges. Yeongsangun was covered with grudges and despised by the people as the mad emperor, to the point he never even obtained a temple name.

    Self-Replenishment (Mana) B: His mana constantly surges until his revenge has been obtained.

    Personal Skills:

    Sahwa A: The sublimation of the two Literati Purges which occured under his reign, due to manuvering Yeongsangun found a chance to destroy academia, which he hated. A bonus to his attack and power against those who can be regarded as "learned", in any field from things as broad as philosophy to as specific as ant behavior, rising based on their level of knowledge.

    Imperial Privilege B: As a king of Joseon, he gains this skill enabling him to gain skills fitting for his status as king. In his case, relevant skills include Swordsmanship, Marksmanship, Eye for Art, Eastern Medicine, and Magecraft at ranks C-B, although he will normally only use Marksmanship and Swordsmanship, seeing the rest as "part of academia".

    Banning Hangul A+: He notably banned the entire language after being criticised. A skill which enables him to expand a field of silence around him, nullifying language within as a Mental check. This does not take effect on him. However, if his master is within it does take effect on them.

    Noble Phantasm(s):

    Sungkyunkwan
    Destruction of the Royal Knowledge

    Type: Anti-Army
    Rank: B
    Range: 100 meters
    Max Targets: 1000 targets

    The sublimation of his repurposing Sungkyunkwan, the royal university and records, as a pleasure house, as well as destroying two ministries meant to advise him. This passively manifests in his bow and arrows, with a curse of "eroding knowledge" within them. When the true name is called, he unleashes a volley of arrows that wipe knowledge and replace it with an urge to relax and indulge.

    Lore: Yeongsangun (1476-1506) was a king in the Joseon dynasty of Korea, known as the worst ruler of the Joseon dynasty and potentially all of korean history, noted for his Literati purges as well as his destruction of sacred and known places like the Royal University Sungkyunwan, turning them into pleasure houses.

    Personality: A cruel person with a deep hatred for all of humanity. He wants to destroy them, wipe out all of the knowledge in the world and cause humanity to endlessly indulge in all, as he reascends his throne to rule over all those who deposed him. His wish is to sink the world into an endless pit of pleasure.

    Relationships:

    Zhengde Emperor: "Pathetic. You were so close. SO! CLOSE! and then you failed."

    Pachacuti: "Impressive empire, though you needed to use more of an iron fist."

    Huascar: "Purging the solar fields? No. Continue them! Play them off of their endless rituals!"

    Heo Jun: "Healing? HEALING? I see that my following monarchs have sunk if they commissioned you."

    La Candileja: "Humanity is vile, on that we agree. But fire is too good for them."

    Louis XI: "Spies? Come now, is all that information truly worth it?"

    Parameters
    STG (A), END (B), AGI (C), MGI (D), LCK (C), NP (B)

    Character
    Berserker takes the form of Aurelius Conanus, a prince who murdered Artoria’s successor, Constantine III in order to become the tyrannical ruler of Britain.

    Despite being part-Faerie, there is nothing dainty or ethereal about Conanus who towers over most modern humans with his large muscles and furs covering his body from the beasts he has hunted. Conanus does his best to embody the image of the warrior-king, going so far as to model himself after his ancestors who ruled Rome, which is why he insists on being called by his Latin name and not the one his parents gave him (“Cynan Garwyn”). Having been transformed into a Berserker Class Servant has done little to help his lust for battle with his intelligence being curbed to simple sentences and less complex thoughts. Yet this may to his Master’s benefit as it also keeps his scheming and backstabbing nature somewhat in check as he instead focuses on the thrill of the fight. Although something that was not lost is his deep seated fear of those he thinks are superior to him, which brings out a cowardly side that tries to get rid of the problem rather than better himself, which culminated in poisoning his own sister Britomart when he suspected she would get in the way of his rule of Britain. Perhaps the sole redeeming factor to Conanus would be the wonder and awe he felt when witnessing the miraculous acts performed by Christian Saints during his lifetime which halted his endless warmongering. As a result, he is somewhat respectful to those who follow the Holy Church and is even willing to acquiesce to the Holy Grail War Mediator’s requests and follow the rules involving secrecy and whatnot.

    In a Holy Grail War, Conanus is a pretty archetypical Servant who wields his sword in battle to fight his opponents head on. Fortunately his superhuman strength and years of experience in swordsmanship have ingrained themselves into Conanus so that even with Mad Enhancement his skill has not much diminished. However his lack of ranged options and ignorance of magecraft means that he has the most difficulty in tackling Archer and Caster Class Servants. When it comes to his Master, Conanus cares little for them beyond his own preservation and even if he does have to save them from a jam, he won’t lose any sleep if they lose a limb or two in the process. Sadly he cares even less for the chivalrous virtues that his predecessor Artoria espoused and will gladly perform acts like ambushing unsuspecting targets or attacking other Masters if it means getting rid of troublesome opponents.

    His Wish upon the Grail? Having had his fill of adventure in the Human World, Conanus wants to try his hand at conquering his ancestral homelands in the Reverse Side of the World.


    Skills


    Class Skills

    Mad Enhancement - (D)
    The Class Skill that characterises a Berserker, raising basic parameters and strengthening one's physical abilities in exchange for hindering mental capacities and/or in exchange for their sense of reason. In some cases, it also affects and/or seals away some techniques, Personal Skills and Noble Phantasms. As the battle crazy warlord who terrorised his people through constant yet unpredictable raids, Conanus gains a boost to his physical Parameters. But because he was not completely insane, he partially retains his language ability and communication between him and his Master is possible, though continuing complex thoughts over long periods of time is difficult.

    Personal Skills

    Charisma - (E)
    A composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Conanus was a demagogue who overthrew the rightful king and installed himself as this conquering warlord who ruled the island with an iron fist and sacked any lord who disobeyed him. As one who forces those to follow rather than through natural gravitas, Conanus has this Skill at a low Rank and while his leadership abilities gain a minor boost, the morale of troops under him significantly decreases.

    Mixed Blood - (C)
    The indication that the blood of something inhuman is mixed in with that of a human, turning them into something more than a mere mortal. As the son of the Faerie Knight Britomart and the Human King Brochwel Ysgithrog, Conanus has inherited the superhuman strength and speed rivalling the warriors from the Age of Gods, with the decelerated ageing to boot to keep him in his prime much longer. However, as he was uninterested in learning the ways of the Faerie unlike his sister, Conanus is unable to use his hybrid power to its fullest extent and draw upon the mana from nature and convert it into magical energy.

    Poisoned Blade - (B)
    A dishonourable tactic of one who has abandoned the chivalrous art of combat. Despite all his claims of being a warrior, Conanus deeply feared being outmatched and so studied toxicology as a means of eliminating those he saw as a threat. To that end, he regularly coats the blade of his sword with a cocktail of toxins taken from a variety of venomous animals he has hunted in the past. Striking the naked flesh of an opponent will force them to undergo a Luck Check and should they fail, their wounds will be infected with a terrible poison that causes necrotizing of the flesh and is very difficult to heal even with magecraft. Naturally a Servant that possesses immunity or even high resistance to poison can bypass the Check.


    Noble Phantasm

    Panthera Tyrannus
    The Lion’s Whelp of Britanniae

    [Type: Anti-Unit (Self)], [Rank: B], [Maximum Range: 0 Metres], [Maximum Number of Targets: Self]

    Chroniclers who passed down the stories of Conanus’ brutal reign could only despair and communicate the terror he inspired by comparing him to one of the Beasts of the Holy Bible that precede the End Times - specifically the Lion from the Book of Daniel.

    Now as a Servant, Conanus can crystallize that fear he accumulated into his Noble Phantasm. By using his inhuman nature as part-Faerie, Conanus uses the Mana he has stored up in order to transmogrify his form - shedding his human shape and becoming an enormous beast, that of a giant lion with the wings of an eagle on its back. In this state he is a force to be reckoned with as he completely surpasses his human limitations and his physical Parameters skyrocket, as a single swipe from his paw can tear through a building and his fangs can crush cars. Even other Servants other than the Knight Classes will find it difficult to compete when he is in this mode. Plus given his wings he can cover large distances so merely retreating is not an easy option.

    However, powerful as it is, this Noble Phantasm is not without its drawbacks. Firstly, having totally become a beast means that Conanus has naturally lost his human intelligence and can be both outsmarted - especially when he finds it difficult to tell friend from foe. Furthermore, while he has great strength, being a beast with paws means that Conanus has lost the skill of his swordsmanship he had trained his entire life for and so he can now only contend with brute force. Lastly, this Noble Phantasm consumes large quantities of Mana and without a way to generate it himself, Conanus can only keep it maintained for up to three minutes, upon which he will revert to his human form, exhausted and unable to defend himself further from enemy attacks.



    Lore
    Born in the twilight days of Camelot’s reign, Aurelius Conanus was the son of the Faerie Knight Britomart and Brochwel Ysgithrog, a Sub-King under Artoria. This of course meant he was half-Faerie, half-Human but this was not unheard of in those days. Conanus was too young to be recruited into Mordred’s civil war and so he was one of the few relatives of Artoria to survive the Battle of Camlann. Unlike his sister, Conanus was uninterested in the affairs of the Faerie World and instead built himself up as a power warrior, modelling himself after his famous ancestor and namesake, Emperor Ambrosius Aurelianus.

    Seeing the limp-wristed reign of Constantine III - Artoria’s rightful successor, Conanus believed it was his chance to restore the glory of the throne by placing himself upon it. To that end, he led a series of successful campaigns throughout Wales and steadily moved down towards Constantine’s court in Cornwall. It didn’t take long before Conanus had captured the King and threatened to execute him if he did not relinquish the crown. In response Constantine merely scoffed and said that no crown on Earth would make the boy anything more than a lion’s whelp. Enraged, Conanus drew his sword and cut down the king, declaring himself the new ruler of Britain.

    Despite his attempts to model himself like the Roman Emperors of old, Conanus was little more than a petty tyrant. Even when his Faerie sister tried to step in and pacify him, he did not take it well and had her poisoned, forcing her to retreat to the safety of the Reverse Side. The only thing that successfully dissuaded him from undertaking more raids on the other regions of Britain that resisted his rule was the efforts of the Saints Cadog and Bueno who used their miraculous powers to intimidate Conanus who relented and negotiated peace deals. However his time in the sun did not last long as only after a few years in power, karma finally caught up to Conanus as during a routine horse ride, he was assassinated under unclear circumstances. He was succeeded by Vortiporius, a descendant of Vortigern.


    Relationships
    Artoria - “Tell me Arthur, why is it the people remember you as some kind of saviour when you were just as battle hungry as I?”

    Bradamante - “I had heard you are associated with my sister and I can see the resemblance - in aura more so than appearance.”

    Britomart - “Dearest sister, I hope you are not still sour over that whole poison business eh?”

    Constantine XI - “Hmm!? Oh it’s nothing. I heard the name ‘Constantine’ and had quite a start.”

    Geórgios - “A Saint as a national icon? How I continue to be in awe of the powers you possess.”

    Knights of the Round Table - “Hmph, so these are the warriors who fought under Arther. I can’t say they look all that special.”

    Romulus - “How glorious, to meet my esteemed ancestor. I modelled myself as a ruler after you and your successors.”


    Creator's Notes
    Started from a conversation about the similarity in names between Conanus and Conan the Barbarian. Thus a silly little project was born. Because of the current F/GO event that tied Conanus to Britomart, I ended up having to make him part-Faerie but fortunately that didn’t affect too much.

    I am curious to see if the Nasuverse referencing the Historia Regum Britanniae in relation to the Faerie Queene will be relevant at all going forward. I can’t imagine the entire thing is canon since it involves stuff like Constantine killing the sons of Mordred.

    The Faceclaim is Lord Kalidor from the 80’s movie “Red Sonja”, played of course by Arnold Scharwzneggar. I was originally going to go with Conan for the reasons mentioned above but I couldn’t find a pic of him I liked in contrast with Kalidor.

    Eheh, for being a shitpost, this is a pretty damn good sheet for somebody who really doesn't have a lot to him, if at all. Tough in Nasuverse lore, he's the kid of Britomart and the knight Artegall, but I'm not about to nitpick the lore of a Conan joke. :V

    I’ll definitely cop to forgetting all about Artegall, but I was under the impression that in the Nasuverse there were two people with the name “Britomart” the mother who went through the events of the Faerie Queene and the daughter who the FGO event is about - although even if that is correct, I definitely could have done more to specify which one I was talking about during that sheet since I just lazily called them both Britomart throughout.

    Class Skills

    Territory Construction A+ A skill allowing one to build specialized terrain that is favorable to oneself as a magus. A structure superior to that of a Workshop, known as a Temple can be constructed - in truth, she summons a powerful and complex Bounded Field after a lengthy ritual. Upon manifestation, the field will automatically construct an impressive temple dedicated to Surya within its boundaries, and naturally conceals itself from the outside. Inside the temple, the visage of the Sun never stops shining, and Aruni receives a positive modifier to her Divine Words.
    Item Construction C++ The skill to manufacture all manner of magical devices, from tools of war to items for general use. She lacks specific anecdotes of being a skilled inventor, hence the average base Rank for the skill. However, she specializes in crafting two specific kinds of items. The first is Grimoires (Sanskrit texts) that contain a portion of her magic within them. The second is a Potion of Immortality, something she learned to reproduce from her mentor.

    Personal Skills

    High Speed Divine Words A A Thaumaturgical Theory and language dating back to the Age of Gods. This system for actualizing phenomena existed in nearly every region concurrently during the Age of Gods, or to put it another way, while every culture at the time referred to the system via different names, the overarching system remained constant. In the lands of ancient India, this systematic phenomenon was by and large referred to as Sanskrit. It is a system for allowing the activation of magecraft with just one’s words alone, without the need for magic circuits or typical incantations. She’s talented enough to activate High Thaumaturgy tier spells with as though they were Single Action.
    Blessing of the Sun God A+ As a reward for their service as Charioteer, Aruni continues to receive the Sun God Surya’s favor, even after departing from their service. The blessing manifests as ‘a cloak of red feathers’ that enwraps Aruni. The rate of mana regeneration is naturally increased by the Rank of this skill, and this effect increases in potency while she’s within direct sunlight. Additionally, when she’s reached her mana cap, excess magical energy is stored within her cloak as an additional source to draw upon, causing the feathers to turn golden.
    Wisdom of the Shining Sage A skill representing the wisdom inherited from the First Scholar and later passed on to her many students. It is an innate understanding of the World, the Universe and the Ātman that as a result, caused her to surpass the limits of human understanding and of her own mortal vessel. Due to being ‘unbound’ by the limitations of her body, she’s able to teach herself almost any Skill, with the exception of those truly belonging to only one hero, gaining it at roughly B~A Rank. Additionally, she can teach almost any Skill to her ‘Students’ who are receptive to her aid, though without a proper understanding of Ātman themselves, the information won’t stick, and they’ll typically forget what they’ve gained after half a day or so.



    Notable Traits:
    Divine - A division of Aruna, the Great Charioteer of Surya who was formed to perform a certain duty, Aruni was discarded after her role was done. Or more precisely, no one was quite sure what to do with her once everything was said and done, and so she was left to her own devices. Eventually, this led to her willingly descending from the heavens to reincarnate amongst mortals. Even still, her Divine Spirit never completely vanished...



    Noble Phantasm

    The Ember of Hope that Announces Dawn
    The Sun of Heaven
    Rank: A++
    Type: Anti-Army
    Range: 2-40
    Max Targets: 250 people


    The bonds one forges in life are rarely as easily severed as they may appear. Distance, time and even death, while certainly all taking their toll, just as often do little to make one forget those closest to one’s heart. And, for better or for worse, the bonds between siblings tend to be particularly strong…

    This Noble Phantasm manifests itself as a powerful rite of summoning. By conjuring forth a golden egg embedded with her older brother’s essence and nurturing it with her immense magical energy, Aruni is able to summon an effigy of the mighty Divine Beast, Garuda into the world. Utilizing a similar process to the summoning system found in a Holy Grail War, though on a lesser scale, Aruni actually modifies a portion of her own life energy using her mastery over Ātman, causing it to read as Garuda and ‘revive’ him into this world. The word choice is quite important here, as ‘summoning’ isn’t the original intention of this phantasm. Ordinarily, its use is a limited, one time only revive effect on Aruni, triggering automatically on her death. However, due to her insistence that such a move is ‘far too boring!’, she’s modified it accordingly. As she and Garuda are siblings born of the same mother, they are exceedingly similar on a spiritual level. By pouring her own life essence into the egg and changing it further to more closely match ‘Garuda’, it becomes an ad hoc method for ‘reviving’ and then summoning a piece of Garuda back to the world.

    Regardless of the method, the results are the real deal. Even greatly diminished, Garuda is still an utterly terrifying opponent in battle, possessing enough brute strength and equally devastating flames to outright crush many of Aruni’s foes. All this to say nothing of his absurd magical resistance that puts even those of the Dragonkind to shame. Even should he fall, he’ll leave behind one of his feathers - in truth, an even more potent form of the immortality potion - for Aruni to use, granting her the one time revival anyways.

    “...Wait, why doesn’t Garuda just use that to revive himself then?”, is a perfectly valid question that Aruni would rather not answer...



    My Breath, My Self, My █████
    Auddalaki Gautama
    Rank A+
    Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
    Range: ?
    Max Targets: ?


    One’s Ātman can roughly be understood as their universal, fundamental self. Distinct from the physical body, ego and even one’s own mind, their truest most undiluted existence. In other words, it can be simply understood as a person’s Soul. Naturally then, to study and understand Ātman is to seek an understanding of the nature of souls. In their many years of study, Aruni made an important realization. All things within the universe can be understood by understanding a piece, aspect or manifestation of it. By understanding something made of clay, one could come to know ‘Clay’, as a concept. By understanding the nectar of bees, one could come to know ‘Nectar’. By understanding that all water from rivers and oceans split, flowed and joined back into each, one could grasp the whole. To ‘Know’ the universe was to know it at its most basic parts. And upon understanding this revelation, they looked inwards.

    This Noble Phantasm encompasses the ultimate truth Aruni realized after many years of meditation and deep thought. By truly grasping the shape of their own soul, they came to understand the souls of all things, the origin of all life.
    However, ███████ █████ could not properly grasp this, hence why this Phantasm is, fundamentally, incomplete.

    In its current state, it allows for the user to perceive and interact with the emissions of the soul. Not to be confused with the third great miracle, as one isn’t able to truly touch and manifest the souls of beings with this. Rather, it is a method for altering how a soul is perceived. Rather than touching the object on display, one alters the glass box around it to produce different colors of light. One changes how the essence of a person is perceived, but it's true honest self is invincible.

    In this respect, Aruni uses this phantasm in primarily one way; altering how her attribute is perceived, from that of a spirit aligned with man to one aligned with nature. She forcibly connects her will to that of nature, which allows her to craft her own Marble Phantasm, a means of altering probability and transfiguring the world around her. Utilization of this space is only as cost intensive as utilizing her Divine Words - the true drawback is that eventually her deception will be seen through, and she’ll be forcibly ‘kicked out’ by the corrective forces of the world, rendering her unable to summon her marble again for some time.


    Personality

    A truly enlightened sage, devoid and separated from all worldly desires and attachments. Aruni is above it all - she yearns not for money, or status. Not for the pleasures of flesh or the appeasement of her own ego. If she still has a desire, it would surely come down to just two things - the desire to observe the lives of other beings, and the desire to teach and guide them. She’s endlessly fascinated by the littlest, tiny details of a person’s life, and enjoys nothing more than peeling back the layers of their existence to try and peek a glimpse at their truest self. The joys, sorrows, pleasure, pain, hope and despair of other people sustain her in ways the baser impulses and instincts of man couldn’t possibly hope to compare to. In other words, Aruni is hollow at her core. She’s fundamentally a fiend at base, but the precise way in which this manifests is wholly dependent on who’s observing her. At times little more than a supportive tease, at times a mischievous trouble-maker, at times a heartless monster; it's not an exaggeration to say that she will do literally anything just to get a reaction out of somebody.


    Legend

    Having fulfilled her divine purpose in giving birth to two powerful warriors, this division of Aruna was free of all burdens and heavenly desires. Aruna, having no further expectations of her, was content to let her do as she pleased. And while she was content to assist them in pulling the Chariot of Surya for a time, the longing in the heart soon grew too wide to ignore. With the blessing of the Sun God, Aruni abandoned her heavenly duty, descending to the mortal realm and willingly undergoing reincarnation. Shortly after being reborn on earth, they encountered the Young Sage, Nachiketa. Having learned from him the secrets of life after death, and of the Ātman, when their master finally departed from this world, Aruni saw fit to continue in their footsteps. They gathered like-minded scholars and many students, and discussed, debated and exchanged ideas with many of them, further deepening their knowledge of the universe. At last, near the end of their mortal life, Aruni was struck by their final, greatest revelation. They shed the last remnants of their earthly self and reached their hand out for the other side. Their life, a beautiful bonfire that attracted, deliberated on and released knowledge, came to a gentle end, leaving only gentle ashes behind. And soon too, those did fade away as well.


    Combat
    Unlikely as she is to defeat many foes in martial combat, Aruni is nevertheless not to be trifled with. She’s an endlessly cunning opponent with an eye for picking up on and exploiting the habits, good and bad, of others. She’s the type of troublemaker who likes to scheme for scheming’s sake, meaning she very frequently has numerous back-up plans prepared in advance. Beyond her personality, she naturally possesses the ability to fly, even without the use of magecraft, simply by revealing her single crimson wing. She also possesses extreme resistance to all forms of fire, and gains a substantial bonus against all instant death effects.

    Her primary spell for combat is the Nachiketa Fire Sacrifice, named after her late master. A powerful invocation with variable output, allowing for the release of small controlled bursts of fire, or raging torrents of flame that could scorch an entire city street all at once. The most troublesome property of these flames is that they do not merely burn their target; these are flames of 'sacrifice’, designating all who are hit by time as ‘being offered up to the God of Death’. As such, while they can’t fully suppress resurrection type abilities, they do reduce the Rank of such abilities by one grade.

    Within the bounded field of her Territory, an impressive Temple to Surya exists. The temple, and indeed the entire space within the field appears substantially more expansive on the inside than on the outside, and is frequently patrolled by Temple Fire Guardians. While unlikely to defeat a Servant in direct combat, they are nevertheless threats to not be taken lightly, as their low power can often be made up for by their numbers and ability to strategize. The most notable feature of the territory however is that, within this space, the Sun never seems to set. The time of day is free to pass in the outside world, but within this domain, the light of Surya never diminishes.
