Servant/Project Idea Thread, "The Womb"

[Dragolord09]

On this note, which recently dead person(s) would make good Servant(s)?

[Random]

Define recently.

[Dragolord09]

Like the last 10-20 years? Though if you want to go back to just after WWII that's fine with me as well.

[Vididii]

Neil Motherfucking Armstrong

[Random]

Pushing the boundary to 30 years, I've definitely gained an appreciation for the historical significance of Freddie Mercury of all people.

If I were to make him, I'd probably slot him into the greater Nasuverse thematically with the idea that with the increased banality of "saving the world", the modern heroes in the era of communication are the artists who move civilisation forward.

[pinetree]

Honestly, no one?
If they died 20 years ago I just can't picture them as Servants, it doesn't fit. Armstrong might be the only one and I'm pretty sure I'm being swayed by the fact that he's already an official Servant.

Question: Which legendary Croatian (undisputed and not already canon) do people think would make the most interesting Servant? I know a Croat on Discord who likes it whenever anything Croatian comes up, so I wanted to do a nice surprise for them

Diocletian and Teuta of Illyria (okay, her Croat-ness is kinda debatable) are the two that immediately spring to my mind

Roger Bosovich would be one I think of immediately

Also: Tomislav, King of Croatia
Josip Gelasic, the general
Ivo Andric, writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature

[NailsInYourFeet]

Thanks! Having gone to check, think they're actually spelt Boscovich and Jelacic (well, at least with a few more accents), but I was still able to find them easily enough. Those two seem pretty cool from what I know of them, with Boscovich being a polymath who, among other things, discovered the lack of atmosphere on the Moon, and Jelacic having ended serfdom in Croatia

Ivana Brlic-Mazuranic also caught my eye, her being viewed as the Croatian Andersen

Edit: On another topic, given people are naturally talking about Elizabeth II as a Servant now, I figured if I ever did her (keyword 'if') I'd personally focus on her efforts in WW2, even if they were pre-Queen

[DelRey]

In terms of recent servants, i think it has to be a really big icon that will be remembered for a really long time and ny pick would be michael jackson. Alone his personal stories, the rumors, the weird stuff he did, his influence on music. He should be hella weak, thats for sure. But his life gives enough points to make fun and weird skills.

[NINE-lives]

Hey random, could you elaborate on your idea of a magecraft foundation based on William Blake’s mythology?

[Dragolord09]

In honor of the Gudaguda events getting released soon, I offer up three names related to the Himiko one the English server is getting. Her brother in the form of Nameless Turtle (could be used in a similar Nobukatsu situation), her successor Toyo (possible Caster/Ruler hybrid here), and finally the nemesis of her event Kukochihiko (if its pre-event version he'd be an Avenger, but if its post then it'll be Berserker at best).

Of course, one could always look towards another country like France for instance and try some Servants there, so in honor of Traum and getting a couple Paladins from that release I offer up some of the support characters (since pretty much all the Paladins have been done at one point or another on this site and I'm including Charlie in all his forms in this statement). Such noticeable figures include Charlie's advisor Caster Naimon, Oliver's sister Aude (either as a straight up combatant or having some Faker/Pretender shenanigans going on here), Ganelon's equally loathsome nephew Assassin Pinabel, Angelica's love (and a definite Berserk Button for Roland) Saber Medoro, and the Angelica to Mandricardo's Roland Assassin/Caster Doralice.

Honestly I'd have offered up Charlemange's wives up too, but someone on Deviantart already did a fusion of them as a maid-type Alter Ego Servant so I was holding off on that one.

On this note, which recently dead person(s) would make good Servant(s)?

Ronald Reagan ofc! Nothing better than some blowing American spirit

[NINE-lives]

His noble phantasm is spreading crack cocaine to black communities.

[Vididii]

Unironically have him as one of the two Casters in my Presidential grail war concept. Madness Enhancement casting go brrrr

[DelRey]

im not american so idc what he did as a president.
but damn, his charisma when he cracks jokes in unmatched.

[NINE-lives]

His other noble phantasm should be selling weapons to iran to fund insurgents in Central America.

[MuramasaMachII]

I have a really weird idea for a Servant, and thus I give it to you guys: A Caster Elvis Presley who's secretly Pretender Colonel Tom Parker.

[Skull]

^ On that subject, I am contemplating doing a figure yet am bouncing back and forth between the Faker and the Pretender Class but in regards to the latter, I feel like the official explanation doesn't exactly match the two canon examples we see?

I am curious as to what people's thoughts are on creating a Pretender Servant with the information we have now?

[MuramasaMachII]

I don't really know since I only play on NA, and I'm only at Lostbelt 4 right now. What I can remember for sure is that Pretenders have the Anti-Human Order Skill as a Class Skill.
