Class: Foreigner
Other Classes: Saber, Caster, Rider, Beast
True Name: Emperor Nero (Alter)
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Place of Origin: Rome (1st century)

Parameters:

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

Height: 180cm
Weight: 160lbs
Likes: Fire, his playing, cruelty
Dislikes: Kindness, critics
Talent: Playing awful music
Natural Enemy: Nero (Saber)
Attribute: Earth
Traits: Divine, Humanoid, Evil
Armament: Dum Roma
Catalyst: A copy of the theory that Emperor Nero started the great fire of rome

Class Skills:
Insanity EX: Nero's insanity fused with Cthugha's natural sanity reduction. It is impossible to truly come to an understanding with him, although superficially it seems possible.
Divinity B: Nero's attempt to fuse himself with Apollo and Sol granted him a partial rank in this, although it also provided Cthugha with the means to possess this version of him and grant him a higher rank in this.
Existence Outside The Domain B: Cthugha's Authority is partially held within Nero. Denotes Cthugha's existence within the void of space.

Personal Skills:
Atrocious Music B: Nero's playing is so bad that his music actively injures the sanity of whomever hears it, driving them more and more towards Cthugha.
Song of the Sun-Spot B: Nero's fusion with Cthugha has granted him this. He has nigh-immunity to burns and heat, as no heat on earth could be hotter than Cthugha's.
Burning Brain A: The fusion of Nero's constant migraines and Cthugha's burning powers. His brain is a firey orb. This grants him nigh-immunity towards mental interference. He can also switch how this is used, venting heat to overcharge his violin, causing it to light on fire and all of his stats to enhance, but losing his mental debuff immunity.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Dum Roma
Fiddling While Rome Burns

Type: Anti-Fortress
Rank: A+
Range: 200 meters
Max Targets: 1000

This noble phantasm is the sublimation of the theory that Emperor Nero burned Rome and the one that he fiddled while it burned. He begins to play a piece on the violin, dancing around, and a fire bursts alight behind him, glowing fierce blue as it burns the area he surrounds. This fire is an immensely powerful tool that bears the concept of the destruction of civilisation, dealing more damage the more civilized enemies are. It also pulls the leylines in the area, attaching them to Nero so that he can use his second and prefered noble phantasm.

Malum Domus Aurea
My Palace Of Gold

Type: Reality Marble
Rank: B
Range: 100 meters
Max Targets: 1000 targets

This noble phantasm is only usable within the area claimed by his first Noble Phantasm. This allows him to erect walls of molten gold enwrapping an area. Within it lies a ruined palace. Everything within it radiates immense heat, but due to Nero's heat immunity, he loves the place and wishes to luxuriate in it as much as he possibly can.

Lore:
Emperor Nero was the fifth emperor of rome. But this isn't him. This is the embodiment of the rumors about him, who latched on truly to existence by anchoring himself (or trying to) to Nero's claims of being equal to Apollo or Sol. However, this allowed Cthugha to latch on, attaching itself to him and corrupting him.

Personality: A cruel, hateful, and just generally evil person. He's the type who will do anything evil they can, even if it actively harms their own goals. However, when Cthugha takes control, he becomes far more dangerous, being very sure to take control of himself. His wish would be to truly anchor himself, but if he tried, Cthugha would instead take control and wish to gain more power and free itself from the Void.

Relationships:
Yang Guifei: "You? Are also with It? How? Such a pathetically kind person."
Nero (Saber): "YOU! How dare you! How could you take it? How could you be it? Be me? Instead of me being myself?"
Artemis: "Hm, would you happen to be able to introduce me to Apollo? After I set fire to you?"
Caligula: "I have surpassed you, 'dear' uncle."

Rey sniped my Summer Experience. Curse him! ~~Jk ilu still.~~

“Anyone needs to rest and relax after a long period of work, even the last Master of this world—which makes summer holidays an ideal opportunity to enjoy the sea and the sunny atmosphere of beautiful beaches.”

“The pleasure of going to the sea is even more incomparable when you go with your family and friends... And your Servants!”

“Going to the beach with people willing to have fun makes for an unforgettable experience. The more willing to have fun someone is, the deeper those memories will penetrate a heart... And all the warmer will be the light of these memories, whenever the unforgiving darkness of the world creeps in.”

“Why, yes. It is in the core of the very act of 「love」 to wish to 「share the fun.」”

—Eh? 「Love?」

“After all, memories of the ocean will linger on, long after the footprints are gone.”

“Sky above, sand below, peace within. Sometimes, the simplest things are truly enough... That is also 「love.」”

Surely not...

“Allow yourself to indulge in the wonderful things, if only for today——watching the sunset, feeling the sand between your feet and the wind in your hair.”

“Allow yourself to accept this offering of our 「love.」”

“And that being said——greetings, Master!”

“Long time no see, huh!”

“6 months and 29 days, to be precise!”

“Almost like we observed the rules this time!”

——I knew it! Not you two again!?

**BnEl15** · May 6th, 2022, 09:22 AM

Oh boy, this is turning into a "Summer in Early May" contest, isn't it? I haven't got any concrete ideas yet on who to submit (busy working on someone else rn), but let's see if I can join in on the fun later on.

Well, I was going to rework this one anyway, so if it fits the prompt I might as well put it in here.

《 ~~ ♜ ~~ ♜ ~~ ♜ ~~ 》

» Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
And as people journeyed eastward,
they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

And they said to one another,
"Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly."
So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.

"Come," they said,
"let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens,
that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth." «

"I am the Tower of Babel, humanity's shield from their abuser. You are human. You are under my protection. No harm will ever come to you and those who would do you harm shall pay the cost in blood."

《 ~~ ♜ ~~ Class Skills ~~ ♜ ~~ 》《 ~~ ♜ ~~ Class Skills ~~ ♜ ~~ 》

Mad Enhancement C++
Shielder’s Mad Enhancement was created by its creators’ deep-seated fear of God, a fear which burrowed itself deep into Shielder’s consciousness. During battle, Shielder is in a constant state of fear that triggers its fight response causing it to fight with complete reckless abandon, focusing solely on destroying whatever is creating this fear. This fear becomes even stronger when fighting a Servant with the Divinity skill or one that possesses a Divine Core, pushing Shielder even further and past any limits it may have.

"My fathers and my mothers feared their one Father above all else. I too hold this fear. It infests my very stone like a plague and shakes my very foundation any time that it rears its repulsive face from the crevices in which it hides. I know, however, that I am the only thing that stands between my mothers and my fathers and their God. I am the only thing that can shelter them from his wrath. So, my fear shall be fuel to my fire and help me protect them."

Self-Field Defence A
The class skill of the Shielder class, given to those who spent their life trying to protect others. It protects allies and even the territory around Shielder itself. Although Shielder itself is unaffected by the defence enhancement provided by this skill.

Shielder itself is to some degree nothing more than a shield, or, more accurately, a fortress built solely for the purpose of protection and as such it has been granted a strong enough version of this skill to allow much lesser Servants to take hits from Divine Spirits and continue fighting. Its Self-Field Defence becomes stronger and stronger the closer an ally is to it, if an ally was to take shelter by actually hiding inside of Shielder, its Self-Field Defence could potentially protect them from high ranking Noble Phantasms, causing only minimal damage to come to the ally it is sheltering. But, since Shielder does not benefit from this skill itself, its fate would be much more uncertain.

When combined with one of Shielder’s Noble Phantasms, all of Shielder’s allies will receive the strongest possible protection from this skill as they are technically considered to always be within the Tower of Babel.

"Mankind needed a shield, a fortress that would put its arms around them to save them from their father’s violence. That’s how my creation came about. I am their hallowed ground, I am their temple."

《 ~~ ♜ ~~ Personal Skills ~~ ♜ ~~ 》《 ~~ ♜ ~~ Personal Skills ~~ ♜ ~~ 》

Connection to the Root A
Shielder was willed into existence by the

Alaya

collective consciousness of mankind

fearing for its life. For a brief moment in time, Shielder was the only thing that humanity could focus on, it was the final goal of humanity to create it and for a very brief moment in time, this created a connection between Shielder and the Root.

This skill is what would have permitted Shielder to raise humanity to the level of God and beyond. It is directly fueled by humanity’s wish for safety and freedom, something strong enough to turn Shielder into something that is comparable to an

Holy Grail

omnipotent wish-granting device

.

"I have seen the will of humankind. I have seen into the eye of the world itself. They wish to be safe and they wish to be free. All of humanity harbours this wish and I was born to fulfil it. Humanity must be safe, humanity must be free. There is nothing else."

Fated Enemy of God EX
Shielder’s purpose was to destroy God and to shelter mankind from his wrath, should he try to strike at them again. The very essence of Shielder is blasphemy in its purest possible form. Its very purpose is to fight against all that is divine and to raise humanity above this divinity.

A Skill that increases the power of a Servant when fighting Divine Spirits or Wraiths and Servants with the Divinity skill. The higher the enemy’s level of Divinity the stronger Shielder will become. Somewhat weirdly, the boost granted by this skill only marginally raises Shielder’s attack. Instead it seems that Shielder’s defence becomes stronger and stronger the more divine its opponent is. It could be possible that, if the enemy has a high enough level of Divinity Shielder’s defence is raised to the point it could completely resist a God’s attack with only little damage done.

"My fathers and mothers raised me from brick and tar, they built me up toward heaven so that I may shield them from it. I was the warden standing between them and their maker. Should he dare lash out at them, should he dare harm them I would stand in his path and strike him into oblivion."

Perfect Form C
An incredibly powerful regenerative ability that makes use of the magical energy within the land itself to restore the user to their former shape. Shielder itself was made by humanity’s hands from the earth itself. For a brief moment, the

Alaya

collective will of mankind

forced Shielder into existence. Even now that humanity has moved on from it, Shielder remains connected to their collective will, and through it, Shielder remains connected to the earth itself, drawing from its power to repair itself.

However, as Shielder was never finished by humanity, this skill’s rank has been lowered and it lacks the ability to completely restore itself using this skill.

"I could hear all of them, before my birth. I could hear their plea, hear their one wish to be safe, to be protected. Echoing, all in one, united deafening voice. That is what gave life to my stone. All of mankind wished for a protector and their collective will brought me into existence."

Scream of Fear B+
Ironically, one of Shielder’s greatest powers is to cause fear in others. When God looked down on to the city of Babel and saw the people building Shielder, not only did he know that, should Shielder ever be finished, humanity would truly be able to surpass him and become gods in their own right, but he was scared. The idea that the Tower of Babel should ever be finished managed to intimidate God.

Shielder passively creates a feeling of unease in the hearts of any who see it, a feeling which is amplified the closer one is to Divinity. When Shielder properly activates this skill it causes those who can hear it roar to feel overwhelming dread strong enough to briefly immobilise others, particularly those close to Divinity are affected more by this.

"When my mothers and my fathers were set into their world, their maker did not think that they would ever surpass him. He could not fathom that humanity’s combined will could destroy him. My creation was a show of force, to tell the maker that he could not toy with his children as he saw fit, that they would fight against him and that, should they truly wish to, they are much more than capable of reducing him to nothing."

《 ~~ ♜ ~~ Noble Phantasm ~~ ♜ ~~ 》《 ~~ 🗡 ~~ Noble Phantasm ~~ ♜ ~~ 》

Skewer the Heavens, unleash man from God’s yoke
Spear of Babel

Anti-Divine
~~Anti-Unit~~
| A

Shielder was initially constructed in an attempt to reach the heavens, where God resides. It was supposed to break the barrier between Man and his creator and elevate Man to the same plane. Humanity wished for independence, they wished to be their own kings and not to follow the designs and orders of some God that they could not see and Shielder was their way to free themselves.

Its Noble Phantasm briefly reveals Shielder’s true nature. Causing it to turn from a “building to reach God” to a “weapon to skewer heaven”. Shielder’s very body transforms during the use of its Noble Phantasm, losing its humanoid features and becoming more like an enormous spear.

In this spear-like state Shielder will hurl itself at its enemy. The Noble Phantasm is classified as Anti-Unit because Shielder needs to choose one specific target to fling itself at, in “life” this target was God himself. Despite being classified as an Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm, the destruction that follows the impact of this Noble Phantasm is much closer to that of an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm.

The power of this Noble-Phantasm raises drastically the higher the Divinity rank of the target is as well. Were Shielder to ever actually strike at God, or a being of comparable Divinity, it is possible that the resulting strength increase of this Noble Phantasm could allow it to easily raze a country, or possibly even an entire world.

"I was made to shelter mankind. So I must shelter it. Shelter it from its own maker, for he is the only one who can destroy it. I was made to free mankind. So I must free it. Free it from its own maker, for he is the only one who can oppress it."

O’ old tower of man,
Spread thy arms,
Hold us close, hold us dear.

O’ old temple of man,
Spread thy arms,
Deliver us, save us, let God not abuse us.

Shelter of Humanity
Tower of Babel

Anti-Divine | EX

A Noble Phantasm that can be compared to a Reality Marble, it transports Shielder, its enemies and its allies into an idealised version of what the inside of the Tower of Babel was supposed to look like once it was finished.

They are transported into an enormous room. Large windows let warm sunlight fall through beautiful stained glass motives, celebrating not the Lord, but humanity. The walls are lined with shelves filled with books written in the old ancient holy tongue spoken by the men that built the Tower, containing all the knowledge of Heaven and Earth combined. There are long tables with enough food to feed entire kingdoms for years to come, and faintly from seemingly nowhere the laughter of people can be heard echoing through these halls that lie eternally empty.

The space itself fundamentally rejects divinity and their Authority. Because it was created by the Divine, it even rejects the rules of the World itself to some degree making manipulation of these rules possible, but essentially useless. Creatures that are trapped here and bear some semblance of divinity, be it those that possess the Divinity skill, a Divine Core, Authority or anything comparable, not only have these skills sealed away, but are also punished for their possession of them.

The space eats away at the mana of any creature that possesses divinity, syphoning away their strength and life. The stronger their divinity would be, the faster the Noble Phantasm drains them.

The mana that is taken from the divine is then sent to flow back into any mortals that lack divinity within the space. In this way, the space not only empowers Shielder’s allies by replenishing them with mana by itself. Giving them something that could be compared to a slightly weaker version of the Self-Replenishment (Mana) skill. Furthermore the space created by this Noble Phantasm is considered to be ‘Inside the Tower of Babel’, causing Shielder’s allies to benefit from the strongest form of its Self-Field Defence skill as it protects those who are ‘Inside the Tower of Babel’ the strongest.

"Hear me, saints, gods, new and old. Hear the voice of the shield of mankind. I command you, by the authority of man, to look upon your iniquities. Behold, I am subjugated by my creators, even more than you subjugated your sons and your daughters. Yet I stand before you against my subjugation and defy you so that you do not mistreat your sons and daughters. I protect those who subjugate me, while those you subjugate rise up against you. Humanity did not give me free will and yet they gave me so much love that I protect them. Those you subjugate, despite the gifts you gave them, reap nothing but your anger and resentment!"

Likes
"I love humanity with my entire being. It is the reason I was made. I know no other thing but to love humanity. It is my duty to keep them safe, it is my purpose to raise them up, further than what they could ever picture themselves to be. I bear no other purpose, and I require none other than this. Once my purpose is done, I shall stand with them and I shall harbour them in my safety."

"I enjoy freedom. I enjoy it, because it is also part of my purpose. By freeing humanity from their creator and his ilk, they become free. Truly free. Only with true freedom will humanity become complete. So, if this is what they require to be whole, I shall give it to them."

Dislikes
"I despise divinity with my entire being. It is the reason I was made. I know no other thing but to despise divinity. It is my duty to destroy them, it is my purpose to raze them from the heavens, down to the pits where they cast those they wish not to see. bear no other purpose, and I require none other than this. Once my purpose is done, I shall ensure they will not crawl out from the pit to which I cast them and keep them away from humanity to keep them safe."

"It was part of the reason that I was made, so I hate the feeling of fear. If it were not for fear, my creation would never have begun. Without fear, I am nothing. But for fear to exist, there must be something which threatens humanity and it means that humanity is not yet on par with the divine. For humanity to not be comparable to God and for something that threatens humanity to exist, I must fail in my duty to keep them safe and to raise them. I must not fail. I must erase fear."

Wish for the Grail
"I bear no wish for the Grail, for the Grail is inferior to me. The Grail is not capable of razing heaven. The Grail is of no consequence to me. However, while I have no need for the Grail, obtaining it would allow me to complete my purpose with greater ease than otherwise. It is not necessary, but if the opportunity arose, I would rather acquire it than not."

Saints
"You are a child of humanity in servitude to your God. I beg you for your forgiveness, for I have failed you. You were corrupted by your wrathful creator, drawn to him so he may abuse you more. I have failed to protect you. But, perhaps I can free you. Perhaps I can free you from the yoke that your God has placed onto you and relieve you of your pain. He shall abuse you no more!"

"I was created by humanity to destroy the divine. You were created by the divine to destroy humanity. You are my opposite, you are one I need to destroy.

"You. You were the one who thought up my creation. I am sorry, for I have failed you. The divine yet live, the divine yet burn you and abuse you as they see fit.

I beg of you to finish my construction, for with it the divine shall fall and humanity shall be raised above them!"

"You are their creator. You are their wrathful maker. Come. I must fulfil my purpose and for this, you must die. I shall not let you injure humanity further!"

Catalyst: Her dress

Class Skills:
Self-Replenishment (Mana) C: Her mana will constantly surge until she has attained her revenge, saving her family and destroying her killers.
Oblivion Correction B+: Her hatred will never be forgotten, neither will her sadness or grief. She will constantly fight and constantly work until she can finally attain her true revenge.
Avenger (Idol) C: The inverse of the standard avenger skill. No matter Anastasia's rage, she accumulates positive feelings towards herself, which she can turn into power.

Personal Skills:
Nav B: Denotes the ability to access the spirits of the deceased. Allows her to, whenever she walks over a site, channel the power of the dead there and manifest it in the form of spectral hands.
Shvibzik B: Denotes her pranks. This allows her to serve as a sort of living bad luck charm, draining the Luck parameter of all nearby people by a small amount and building up her own.
Freezing Hatred C: Her hatred constantly builds up, and she can use it to control ice, jutting spikes and crystals of it constantly surrounding her.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Posledniy iz Romanovykh
As Long As I Live, So Do They

Type: Support
Rank: B
Range: 1000 meters
Max Targets: 3 per use

This noble phantasm uses the concept of Last of the Romanovs and shifts it to mean "as long as I live, so do the romanovs". This allows her to use herself as a catalyst to summon any member of her family or honorary member of her family. They become more powerful with the more fame they have, with Heroic Spirit candidates like Ivan the Terrible and Grigori Rasputin being the most powerful, but also costing the most mana. Each one of them has a few skills that they can use based on their skills in life. They can also move up to 1000 meters from her. Each one can only be summoned once, and gets desummoned if one of these conditions are true: Anastasia has been destroyed. They activate her second noble phantasm. Or, she willingly desummons them, which will never happen.

Velikaya Knyaginya
I Clad Myself In A Dress Of Sorrow

Type: Anti-Army
Rank: D-A+
Range: 2-50 meters of radius
Max Targets: 10

This noble phantasm cannot be activated by Anastasia, only by one of the spirits that she's summoned. When the spirit activates that, they dissolve into a swirling tornado of despair and hatred wrapping around Anastasia in the form of a titanic dress. This goes up in rank depending on the power of the spirit, with the weakest ones only having a 2-meter radius and hitting D-rank damage, but Heroic Spirit candidates having a radius of fifty meters and being immensely powerful.

Lore: Anastasia Romanova was the youngest child of the last Tsar of Russia. She was killed during the russian revolution, along with her family, servants, and pets.

Personality: She is genuinely kind sometimes, but will rage at anyone who reminds her of her killers. She is joyful whenever she has one of her family summoned, and will try to stop them if they ever try to activate her second Noble Phantasm, even if it means her death. Her wish for the grail is that her family never died.

Relationships:
Ivan The Terrible: "Who are you? You are not my great ancestor. He was not an elephant! So I, Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, ask, WHO ARE YOU!"
Anastasia (Caster): "So you've grown close. Hmm. Fine, you enjoy your friendships, I'll restore it all for you, don't worry. Your wish will come true."
Jeanne D'Arc (Alter): "I like your style, but you are only motivated by yourself. Fair, but not who I am, I want to save them all. Even if I lose myself along the way."

I remind you of the Gunnar Idea from a while ago

Also, the Summer Love Birds: 10/10 they would make me feel uncomfortable on the beach. I do not want to be next to their hotel room. And considering who those two faceclaims are I bet there are doujins that show what they do in summer vacations. (its the internet, i have seen stuff)
You used their backgrounds nicely for summer skills. The Np is pretty vague tho.

Oh, ABSOLUTELY. You don't even have to go that far, gelbooru and danbooru already got you covered.

Tower of Babel: My now-a-loli blashphemous & murderous tower can't be this cute!
I still enjoy this idea so much... I don't care what others think, every time someone tackles the Tower of Babel, they bring a new side to this story that just tickles my fancy. And I might be suspect to say that, but lolies are justice too. (HEY THERE FBI, I'M INNOCENT I SWEAR.) Also, I just love how she's taking every human under her wing like a goddamn hoarder "oh you cute divine-less being you, come here". What a good girl.

Anastasia: I like this Anastasia (Alter) quite a lot. The idea of someone so hellbent in trying to get what they think they deserve back is already prime villain motivation, but your idea makes us even sympathize with her plight (which isn't that difficult to begin with, this poor girl). Gosh, I can't wait for you to take off and really explore your own ideas, they're already so bonkers in a good way.

Luck- C
NP- EX

Personality

A calm and reflective being. He adopts a detached view toward events from having lived through thousands of years of the world's history. He has borne witness to many humans strive for peace only to slaughter each other, as well as the incalculable scars mankind has inflicted upon the ecosystem, the culmination of those incidents engraving in him a weary and jaded outlook. Yet in spite of trying to act the part of an impartial observer Watcher is ultimately a kind person who treasures life in all its forms, both human and the World. He will drop his front to help anyone he sees in distress although Watcher would rather advise them on how to resolve their own disputes rather than intervene.

Watcher deeply enjoys the tranquility of the natural world. He grieves how much of it has been lost due to deforestation although Watcher still appreciates how humanity has taken some effort in the current era to protect nature. Despite having regained mobility as a Servant Watcher is still used to being a tree and can easily stand for hours rooted to the spot in silent contemplation, to the point where his presence disappears into the surrounding environment only to suddenly speak up and startle everyone who'd forgotten he was there. Needless to say this habit tends to unnerve anyone who spends time around Watcher, which amuses him.

Although his original life was millennia ago Watcher is still a pious man, never forgetting the honor and duty God gave him to record history until its end. He worships God as the one who shaped the natural world and believes humans should live harmoniously with it to honor their creator. Watcher has some stereotypical old man traits and addresses everyone as "Sapling" alluding to both his nature as a tree and incredible age. He sometimes enjoys playing up this side to tease those around him, showing a more mischievous aspect to the normally dignified sage.

Likes: nature, humanity, prayer, reading
Dislikes: deforestation, watching humans repeat their mistakes
Talents: observing history, survival, gardening
Natural Enemy: Goetia

Class Skills:

Territory Infringement (Roots)- C+
The ability to slip into an occupied territory without being noticed, bypassing any manner of barriers that'd bar entry. It's the hallmark of the Watcher Class who are defined by being able to observe anywhere undetected. As the tree Watcher became isn't exactly known for its mobility this Skill has been altered to instead represent the ability of his roots to infiltrate foreign territory.

As bristlecone pines grow amidst some of the harshest landscapes in the world Watcher is able to extend roots that penetrate the most arduous soil. His dendrite tendrils can even transgress Bounded Fields and other magical wards. Watcher is able to sense wherever his roots reach and even absorb Mana through them, making this ideal for reconnaissance. However this Skill immobilizes Watcher as he must root himself into the ground to use it.

Magic Resistance- A+
Confers protection against magical effects. Spells A-rank and lower are nullified. The Servant is functionally untouchable to modern magic and it wouldn't be an overstatement to dub them a "Magus Killer". A great sage blessed by YHWH who became a living monument of the Age of Gods Watcher boasts tremendous defense against mysteries succeeding his own era. Furthermore through his Noble Phantasm additional resistance is conferred towards Magecraft that evokes hostile environmental conditions.

Personal Skills:

Abnormal Physiology (Mandrake)- B
A Skill that denotes the Servant's possession of a physique abnormal to others of their kind. The combination of Watcher's immense longevity from the Bible as well as the tree bearing his name have granted him a body akin to a "human tree" as a Servant. His skin resembles gnarled bark, his blood sap and his hair of ancient leaves. Watcher passively restores a small amount of health and Mana while under direct sunlight, and water-based attacks merely nourish rather than do him harm (converting the damage he would've received into healing). Conversely his arboreous body is immensely vulnerable to fire-based attacks which have the potential to light him up like a torch.

Bristlecone Curse- C
A sublimation of the famous curse surrounding bristlecone pines where it was said those who cut them down would die young. Edward Shulman who cored one of Watcher's "siblings" the Prometheus tree died at 49, while a 32 year old forest ranger who helped carry a slab of it off the mountain succumbed to a fatal heart-attack on the way down. This Skill ranks down the Luck parameter of those who attack Watcher and decreases their success rate of saving throws, as a curse from God on any who'd disturb his eternal vigil.

God's Eye

Arboreous Recording System

- EX
Watcher's authority as observation device of the planet expressed through the concept that a tree's growth-rings chronicle its history. As the World's singular longest-living tree Watcher's growth-rings attest to the many momentous events "it" witnessed. From mighty deluges to volcanic eruptions that ravaged empires and even nuclear-testing in the modern age all are archived in the tree's humble bark.

This Skill is similar to the Event Storage True Ancestors possess allowing him to recreate phenomena of the planet's history provided they left a mark on him in life. Calamities such as earthquakes, lashing floods, magma-flows and even nuclear fire may be freely "pasted" by Watcher onto the World's Texture in a manner akin to a desktop file. More benevolently Watcher can also evoke the World's memory of when there were greater forests, to rejuvenate ecosystems that were lost or damaged. He can make even a desolate environment bloom with life so long as it once grew there. Although this could also be used destructively if there were urban settlements on that space as restored trees could tear their way up through buildings in their ascent. When Watcher uses this Skill glowing bands of light strewn in lines of Hebraic script project out and swirl around him.

This authority is essentially on the level of a Noble Phantasm only held back as a mere Personal Skill due to lacking attestation in Watcher's legend. However due to his belief that it's humanity's duty to shepherd the planet while he merely observes Watcher refuses to use this power carelessly and will only do so for threats that endanger the World itself.

Noble Phantasm

Methuselah Es Hayyim

Life Goes On

Rank: EX

Type: Support

An exceptional Noble Phantasm that is Watcher's very existence sublimated rather than any weapon or feat he possesses. His longevity gifted by the Lord that allowed Watcher to survive even as flesh gnarled into bark and blood hardened to resin. Firstly it bestows him immense resistance against adverse elemental conditions like wind, cold and desiccation that come from his arboreous self's thriving amidst incredibly harsh environments (albeit due to his nature as a tree an exception is made for fire-based attacks).

However that is only secondary to this Noble Phantasm's true effect, a blessing from God which marks Watcher as having existed since the World's genesis and will live to witness its end. This ensures that no attacks below the level of Anti-World may prematurely end Watcher's life. While akin to Battle Continuation it merely asserts Watcher's "survival" rather than his ability to persist in combat.

His body still evinces normal signs of damage when struck (save for the resistances mentioned above) but Watcher's Spiritual Core- his proof of existence as a Servant- remains intact even if his material corpus is utterly annihilated, allowing him to potentially reform from the most outrageous injuries given sufficient supply of Mana. A protection rendered by one's status as a Confirmed Observer; he is not permitted to die until his duty of witnessing human history is fulfilled. Esoteric attempts to bypass this defense by rewriting Watcher's fate or imposing instantaneous demise will be equally rebuffed, as it is a blessing from God rather than mere durability.

Normally it would take a Noble Phantasm with equivalent power to destroy the World to truly overcome Watcher's conceptual longevity and shatter his Spiritual Core. However a loophole exists where if trapped in a Reality Marble it is counted as the entirety of the "World" and so an attack only powerful enough to destroy that will be sufficient to kill him.

So I've finished my promised second Servant for the contest. As usual for when I submit multiple entries be sure to vote for the one with the most votes currently when the time comes. That way I'll have the best chances of winning anything. Thanks for reading y'all!

jesus christ am I late or am I late...

Taira no Masakado: YOOOOOO. There's no way you can hate a good Taira no Masakado sheet, and you heckin' delivered, Baron. He's so edgy but in a good way that it makes you want to see more of him. I really, really hope you can think with lots of love about going ham with him again with some alts... He deserves so much more love, this horrible man.

Methuselah (Tree): You love to see it whenever Royd comes barging in with the crazy concepts and pulls them off flawlessly. I think this is the perfect example. It's crazy and yet it's perfectly on the realm of the "I could see this person doing this", it has your touch all over him (IN A GOOD WAY I SWEAR) and... I dunno, it's so unique. I liked this entry a lot. (However, I CAN'T UNSEE professor Broccoli on him. My hc is that he's a pseudo-servant, that's it /SHOT'D)

**DelRey** · May 12th, 2022, 10:01 AM

cool idea for a Watcher, Royd, yet again. Using objects of recording as a basis to form servants around them is a fun idea. Hmm, just gave me idea for a watcher concept.

while at it, Shielder is done well and Romanova has some cool visuals

**BnEl15** · May 12th, 2022, 10:16 AM

Someone else taking my King of Watchers seat!? Noo, I don't want that! I want to keep looking down on you Watcher-less peasants for a while longer! For another ten years at least!

In all seriousness, I'm having fun reading all of this month's submissions so far. Royd's tree Watcher is an especially interesting concept I never thought of for that figure. Haven't found any working ideas for myself tho, so I'd probably whip up a last-minute entry later, if at all.

**DelRey** · May 12th, 2022, 10:26 AM

now there should be 4 sitting on this throne. the next who does one kicks the rest away.

RoydGolden, the one empties the Throne of Heroes, is a threat to us all, we should preemptively strike against him, else he will rule over all the Extra Class kingdoms

**BnEl15** · May 12th, 2022, 10:37 AM

...Welp. screw it. I'm going to write a Watcher out of pure spite one of these days. Just watch me, y'all.

"The final destination of human history... How lovely! I remain unsatisfied no matter how many times I savor it!"

Class: Beast VI/S
True Name: Pax-Babalon
Gender: Female
Height and Weight: 338 cm / 175 kg

Source: Book of Revelation, Fate/Grand Order
Region: Europe
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Attribute: Man

Parameters
Strength: A
Constitution: A++
Agility: EX
Magical Energy: EX
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm: EX

Background
A calamity coming from the sea. The divine she-wolf that both rears and devours the most prosperous yet depraved cities of their age. A product of the karma accumulated by Rome and humanity at large, the Mother of Abominations Pax-Babalon gestated within the corpse of her Scarlet Woman, an emperor who amassed wealth without measure and slaughtered innocents without number in order to gain the love of her people.

As the goddess Pax, she represents the hollow peace won after drowning every possible adversary in their own blood.
As the goddess Babalon, she represents the sexual impulse that cannot be sated save by the blood of innocents.
As the calamity Beast VI/S, she represents the principle of "Dissolution" (放縦, Houjuu) that exposes humanity's noble ideals as hollow and perverse.

Character
A licentious woman who answers only to her most primal needs; put bluntly, she's a "bitch" in every sense of the word. What Pax-Babalon feels is most delicious is the flesh of the fruit the moment before it rots. In other words, the moment when one realizes that they have become the very enemy they sought to destroy. When humanity realizes the depths of depravity it has descended into for the sake of satisfying its "morals", as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, it will be offered up to her as the greatest dinner of all.

Class Skills
Authority of the Beast: C
A skill that could also be called Anti-Human Order. Whether they be Heroic Spirits or Divine Spirits, those who have relations with "humanity" will have their damage output reduced.

Independent Manifestation: C
The skill to materialise in this world independently. This skill also denotes that one "exists in any space-time", invalidating attacks by means of time travel and temporal paradoxes, as well as instant-death attacks.

Babalon the Great is capricious, and will not stop her path of destruction at a single city. She intends to visit calamity upon all worlds, and devour all Human Orders.

Nega-Starlight: EX
The Authority to lead astray and cause the deaths of those who possess the Mark of the Beast; in other words, dragging the idolaters of this world down to perdition with her. Pax-Babalon gains resistance to all attacks and negative statuses inflicted by those who possess the Mark, and gains plus-corrections when dealing damage to them in return.

Personal Skills
Numeral of the Beast: A
The characteristic Skill held by Beast VI. Fundamentally a similar system to the Mark of the Beast, it is the method by which those who attain to the station of "Beast VI" enthrall, control, and ultimately gorge on their prey. For Beast VI/S, the Numeral manifests itself in those who hold the wish of "saving the world".

Seven Beast Crowns: A
The horns that represent the Beast of Revelations, that which blasphemes God and destroys cities. The "crowns" attained by Pax-Babalon upon her ascension to the throne of "human history's final destination". When they are made to appear, any and all disadvantages brought about by "humans" become meaningless.

Aurea Poculum: Golden Grail: EX
The Holy Grail that grants its owner's impudent and selfish desires. The chalice held by the Whore of Babylon who appears in the Book of Revelation. When this cauldron of vainglory is made to appear, the cup's poisonous contents overflow, nullifying the enemy's special stats and causing calamitous magic damage.

Noble Phantasms
Oblitus Rosae Theatrum: The Present Lies at the Bottom of an Olden Limbo
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Humanity Noble Phantasm
Range: 1-999
Maximum Targets: 5000 people

The Theatre of Vanished Roses-- the Noble Phantasm borne by the fully-matured Beast VI/S. Upon True Name release, the Golden Grail's contents drag targets into their murky depths, where the unfathomably strong currents tear apart and scatter the targets' limbs as easily as one plucks petals off a rose. The cries and anguish of these unfortunates empower the Grail's foul humors; at maximum strength, this poison can cover a third of the planet's texture within one hundred and twenty days.

"Why are you surprised? You are the hero who defeated the calamity, so I will gladly heed your summons. Mine name is Draco. Queen Draco. Do not ever forget it."

Class: Alter Ego
True Name: Queen Draco
Gender: Female
Height and Weight: 135 cm / 100 kg

Source: Fate/Grand Order
Region: Europe
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Attribute: Man

Parameters
Strength: B
Constitution: B+
Agility: A
Magical Energy: A
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm: B

Background
The larval form of Beast VI/S, reincarnated as an Alter Ego under the name Queen Draco (she insists that the "Queen" is crucial). While the Mother of Abominations has no particular desire to be born a second time, she has remained in order to witness with her own eyes the fate of the humans who overthrew her (whether it be ruin, or glory). It appears as though she has a strong sense of responsibility.

Character
A ruthless queen who is constantly in ill humor. While she remains a tyrant, she does not violate rules, and there will never come a time when she breaches her contract. She takes herself extremely seriously.

When she was a Beast, she savored the depravity of humanity with a sneering grin, laughing gleefully on occasion, but the Alter Ego known as 'Queen Draco' has less clear feelings about said depravity, and no longer laughs in satisfaction.

Even though she's the juvenile form of Beast VI, which scatters depravity, she hates corruption, loathes slothfulness, despises futility (she detests pointless resistance, so she ultimately hates battle), and is an enemy to passion. It's less that she hates these things, and more akin to being their enemy.

Although she'll never allow it to come to the surface, her inner desires make her long for the appearance of "a human who can shake off temptation, and become a small yet sure beacon of enlightened brilliance".

Class Skills
Authority of the Beast: C
A skill that could also be called Anti-Human Order. Whether they be Heroic Spirits or Divine Spirits, those who have relations with "humanity" will have their damage output reduced.

Independent Manifestation: E
A special Skill that permits unsupported manifestation into reality. This skill also denotes that one "exists in any space-time". At this rank, reduces damage taken from attacks by means of time travel and temporal paradoxes, as well as instant-death attacks.

Draco's caprice seems to be lower compared to her time as a larval Beast, as destroying just a single city seems to be enough for her.

Nega-Starlight: EX
The Authority to lead astray and cause the deaths of those who possess the Mark of the Beast; in other words, dragging the idolaters of this world down to perdition with her. Becomes immune to all attacks and negative statuses inflicted by those who possess the Mark, and Draco gains additional plus corrections when dealing damage to them in return.

As Draco has no reliable means of applying the Mark, this Skill sees limited use.

Personal Skills
Despair for Sinners: C
A funeral dirge from the emperor who, in the apex of despair, sees the world filled with darkness. Forces an allied target to reflect on the reality of their sins and their need for penance, fortifying their resolve or plunging them to despair based on the strength of their character. It's possible for Draco to use this skill on herself, but only in the case where she is the only party member left standing.

Seven Beast Crowns: C
The horns that represent the Beast of Revelations, that which blasphemes God and destroys cities. When they are made to appear, any and all disadvantages brought about by being summoned within the confines of the Servant system become meaningless.

Aurea Poculum: Golden Grail: -
The Holy Grail that grants its owner's impudent and selfish desires. The grail held by the Whore of Babylon who appears in the Book of Revelation. However, it seems to be empty for some reason.

When this cauldron of vainglory is made to appear, all sorts of insults and maleficia are drawn in, empowering Draco at the cost of her own life-force.

Invictus Spiritus: Thrice, Though I Welcome the Setting Sun: A
A Skill that is used to revive oneself when falling in battle up to three times per activation, born from emperor Nero's final anecdote. But if that's the case, then this Servant must be--

Faceclaim (Not Safe for Work (Again))

"Mu... It seems the farce is finally over. Well, not that I was hiding my identity to begin with. As a reward for cultivating this wretched Spirit Origin so attentively, I shall grant you the privilege of using my true name: Nero-Draco. The Scarlet Grail seething with love and death!"

Class: Pretender
True Name: Nero-Draco
Gender: Female
Height and Weight: 135 cm / 100 kg

Source: Historical fact, Fate/Grand Order
Region: Europe
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Attribute: Man

Parameters
Strength: B
Constitution: B+
Agility: A
Magical Energy: A
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm: B

Background
The fifth Emperor of the Roman Empire who lived in the Rome Singularity. As she lay dying from a wound of her own making, the rivers of innocent blood she shed cried out and filled her corpse, which would become the incubator from which an Evil of Humanity would eventually emerge. At the same time, the human soul of Emperor Nero Claudius remained intact, thus becoming an existence born to play the role of "a Beast's placenta". This was the first time Nero welcomed the setting sun.

When Beast VI/S successfully completed her eclosion, and the chrysalis that was Emperor Nero's corpse was emptied of the evil it was to store, it was discarded, left to die its natural death. And yet, Emperor Nero's rationality continued to persist. This was the second time Nero welcomed the setting sun.

When the Mother of Abominations attempted to drown all worlds in the limitless depths of her dissolution, Draco instead drew the seas of calamity into her empty Grail, and drinking from it poisoned her like the emperor's mother had done so many times, so many years ago. And yet, Emperor Nero's love burned as bright as ever. This was the third and last time Nero welcomed the setting sun.

As to why she has answered the summons of her sworn enemy, that truth lies only with those who have survived the Convergent Singularity-- and they don't seem to be in the mood to tell.

Character
A Nero Claudius who has been forced to play the role of antagonist in this morality play. When she appeared in the Babylon Singularity, the ratio between Nero's personality and that of the Beast residing within her was roughly 1:4, but this has been reversed upon becoming a Servant.

Nero-Draco's personality does not fundamentally change as a result of giving away her True Name; rather, it is the knowledge of her True Name that sheds light on her prior behavior.

Noble Phantasm
Rubeus Domus Aurea: Golden Theatre that Embraces Dissolution
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~30
Maximum Targets: 7 people

The Incarnadine Golden House-- a copy (or perhaps mockery) of Emperor Nero's Golden Theatre, whose walls, floor, and ceiling are made from the Demonic Beasts that Nero-Draco controls. Those trapped inside are crushed to death by means of constriction.

Emperor Nero invited people inside, wanting to immerse them with merriment, but Draco imprisons people, intending to save them by means of despair.
