Create-a-Servant 4

[TQG Imaginatorious]

Phaethon- I don't know what else to compliment that the others haven't already so I'm just gonna leave a criticism to further improve it.

The Torch is too low ranked for its description. Billy the Kid's Thunderer is more powerful than a sword that can supposedly burn things at a atomic level.

Bond 0Countless murderers have engraved their names in history. Proffesional assassins, serial killers, religous zealots, etc. But, all of them commited these acts over the last few thousand years.
The true greatest assassin of them all, is one that has been killing since the dawn of life, prunning the unsuccesful branches of the tree of life.
Of course, Natural Selection isn't a person and therefore can't be summoned as a servant, that's why "He" was called to take it's place. Becoming an amalgamation between man and idea, the brilliant scientist whose ideas changed biology forever manifest now as an assassin. His true name, is that of the Father of Evolution, Charles Robert Darwin

Bond 1Class Skills
Presence Concealment: EX
Natural Selection is the theory used to explain evolution. Those who are born with subpar qualities are more likely to die instead of passing their genes to the next generation. The cause of death may or may not be related to these qualities, maybe a bug wasn't born with the correct shade of green to hide and got eaten, or maybe someone accidentally stepped on it. Whatever the cause of death was, the end is the same, they get excluded from the gene pool without warning, sometimes ending entire species this way without being noticed.
Therefore, ending their lifes without ever being seen or percieved, Natural Selection becomes an invisible assassin capable of dissapearing even in the middle of a fight.

Bond 2Personal Skills
Life Nullification A
His mere presence incites death and the end of species, passively absorbing mana and vital energy from his sorroundings

Artificial Selection: B
The name is merely a matter of human pride. No matter how much humans try to deny it, they are part of nature, their skycrapers and fancy buildings being just as natural as an anthill or a beaver's dam.
The only difference between Natural and Artificial Selection, is the lack of intent behind the first one.
With this skill, Assassin can grab any living being and put it in a simulation of many million years, applying different evolutionary pressures in order to shape them to be whatever he needs them to be

No Species Last Forever: A
Dinosaurs roamed the Earth for around 180 million years, but it took one moment of bad luck to end their reign as the dominant species of this planet. They are still here, birds are theropod dinosaurs after all, but this planet belongs to mammals now.
This fact as a skill manifest as the ability to make more damage the closer the target's species is to extinction.

---

Bond 3The first person to ever ponder the possibility of species changing with time was Anaximander of Miletus, who claimed that human beings had to come from aquatic beings. A statement that turnd to be true.
From there onwards, many people would propose their own ideas. But of all of them, the one who ended up being considered the Father of Evoution was Charles Darwin after proposing his theory of "Evolution by Natural Selection"
Of course, just like he wasn't the first, he was neither the last. After all, his theory was lacking in some aspects, and is still being researched and expanded by modern scientist. But his ideas served as a basis for one of the most important aspects of natural history.
Him being summoned as the personification of Natural Selection was to be expected

---

Bond 4Born in 1809 and dead by 1882, he lived as a man of science, searching for the logical explanations in everything. And while his religious beliefs are debated by many, he died an agnostic after being unable to prove or deny the existence of a god.
Because of this, after being summoned as a magical apparition to fight over the cup used by Jesus Christ himself is quite a shock to him and his knowledge.
However, he believes in facts and logic, and his new existence is a fact. This means, magic is a real thing to be studied, presenting him with new frontiers and territories to delve in.
How are dragons born? Do they fit the modern evolutionary theories? Do souls have genetic material? Is it possible for magic to have guided certain evolutionary changes? Were Adam and Eve primitive apes? If he could get his hands on the Holy Grail, he would certainly use it to gain more time to answer these questions.

Bond 5

Theory Of Evolution

Survival Of The Fittest

Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Rank:C+++

While not the first to think about evolution, he was the one who created the most accurate and convincing theory about the origin of species. Living beings with traits that help them survive are more likely to reproduce, passing their genes to the next generation and thus, those traits become increasingly common.
This Noble Phantasm has the same effect... to some degree.

Simmilar in nature to his skill Artificial Selection, when this Noble Phantasm is activated, a speed up simulation is started inside Assassin's head, in which millions of versions of himself, all slightly different from each other, face off against their current opponent for as long as he keeps this Noble Phantasm active. It could last a couple thousand years, or maybe even billions of years, but during this time, his least fittest copies perish while the fittest survive, multiply and mutate.
Assassin experiences these mutations firsthand, watching his body change to adapt to his oponent while they fight. Maybe he will grow scales to mitigate the sharp sword of a Saber, or maybe he will develop extra senses to avoid getting caught by surprise by assassin.

This however, isn't all he can do.
Assassin had no ties to magic when he was alive, he was slightly religious but that's all. But now that he was summoned as a Servant, he is aware of a whole new side of the world he never even considered.
And, just like behaviour can be inherited and influence evolution, his thirst for knowledge makes him able to develop spells of his own inside this Noble Phantasm.
Rudimentary, inefficient and dangerous spells, but that's what Natural Selection is for. Given enought time, some of them may end up developing as new Noble Phantasms.

Author's notes

Well, here it is my first fanservant... I actually wanted to post a Pretender, but i still don't fully understand the code so i gave up.
Anyway, english is my second language so, sorry for the likely massive ammount of spelling mistakes

[SnowHakaishin]

To be fair, NP ranks are pretty weird already. I agree that Phaethon's could probably take a bump but generally it's not that productive to compare ranks directly.

(Editing because fsr when I posted that reply I hadn't seen the Natural Selection sheet, I meant to reply to the previous comment about Thunderer)

[RoydGolden]

Saber of Greed:

Appearance:

Source

True Name: Fafnir

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Alternate Classes: Berserker, Caster, Monster

Strength- A
Agility- B+
Endurance- C
Mana- A
Luck- E-
NP- B

Personality

Carefree and crass. Quick to anger yet just as ready to laugh off slights. Saber easily immerses in the modern world, becoming close to pop-culture's image of a "bad-boy". An unabashed cynic who detests the idea of any justice distinct from self-benefit, regarding those who pursue such as deluded hypocrites. As expected of the dragon who hoarded boundless wealth, Saber is easily enamored of all treasures. From the most magnificent jewelry to gaudiest trinkets.

However in truth this demeanor is a shield to his heart. The trauma of his family slaughtering each other for the cursed gold, leaving him and his brother Regin as sole survivors, scarred Saber deeply. He convinces himself "bonds" don't exist as everyone is out for themselves. Yet Saber truly yearns to find a bond that won't be broken by greed. As such his coveting extends not just to possessions but people. He views those who show him loyalty as "treasures" and is fiercely protective of them.

Saber claims his wish on the Holy Grail is to amass all the world's wealth, befitting a greedy dragon. However in truth, it's for his younger brother Regin. Saber took on the Rheingold's corruption in part to spare his brother, so Regin's later entangling in that tragic destiny and meeting his end by the hero Sigurd grieves him deeply. Saber's desire is for his brother to move on and lead a happy life, freed of their family curse.

Likes: treasure, his friends, Regin
Dislikes: "justice", his father Hreidmar, things he can't have
Talent: hoarding
Natural Enemy: Siegfried/Sigurd, his family, Gilgamesh

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance- A
Protection against thaumaturgic effects. Spells A-rank and lower are nullified. At this rank, one is virtually untouchable to modern magi, so it wouldn't be an overstatement to dub them a "Magus Killer". Saber's transformation lends him a draconic Reactor Core, the furnace of Mana inside him simply drowning lesser thaumaturgy. However as a result he is uniquely vulnerable to dragon-slaying sorceries, that slip past his scales like water.

Riding- E-
Ability to ride animals and handle vehicles. In his true form, Saber is closer to a mount himself than any who'd use them. Afforded only a pittance in this Skill by his Class Container.


Personal Skills:

Andvanaraut Inheritor- A
A Skill marking Saber as heir to the cursed gold that drove his family to their doom. Rather than granting the normal Golden Rule Skill, his exceptional compatibility with the bloody treasure has synchronized Saber's own nature with it, becoming an embodiment of "wealth bringing ruin".

Having eschewed his familial ties for greed, Saber is immune to attacks targeting a group larger than one person, such as Anti-Team or Anti-Army. Only the atomized individual exists in his world. Furthermore Saber exudes an aura eroding "bonds" in his vicinity. A mental interference that sows suspicion and enflames selfish desire, manifesting venomous whispers in the susceptible's ears. Strong-willed individuals and those with psychic protection can stave this effect. Abilities reliant on bonds like Combination And Affection Of The God are weakened by one rank.

Breath Of The Dragon- B+
The ability to release a torrent of Mana from one's mouth evoking the breath of a dragon- the strongest Phantasmal Species. While not a dragon by blood, Saber's transformation from obtaining the cursed gold has baptized him one. Even human, his throat and vocal cords are draconic, able to loose a hellstream of venomous green flames. Described in the Volsunga Saga as toxic and laying waste, his firebreath is dyed a "Poison" element. Those hit are it are sickened and surroundings blighted similar to Nuclear fallout.

Bravery- E
The ability to- through sheer fortitude of will- refuse mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. Further boosts melee damage. Fafnir of strong arm and fearless heart, faithful guardian of his father's house. Memories dulled upon his draconization, he regards those shining days with scorn.

Noble Phantasms

Ridill

Harvester Of The Sky Demon

Rank: B

Type: Anti-Unit

A demonic sword in Saber's treasury. Its only claim to fame being used by the hero Sigurd to cut out the dragon's heart after death so he could feast upon it (since the heart of a dragon was fabled to grant wisdom on the consumer). Nevertheless, simply cleaving a mighty dragon's scales is surely a feat few mortal weapons could boast. Stemming not from any exceptional sharpness or durability on Ridill's part, which are merely average amongst blades of its type. No, what claimed the heart of Fafnir, and truly set Ridill apart from its peers, was a far more esoteric ability.

Ridill possesses the phenomenon of "selective solidity". By invoking its true name the blade momentarily enters an intangible state, able to pass harmlessly through solid surfaces without cutting them. This allows for various impossible feats of swordsmanship, such as gouging internal organs without harming the skin or slicing while still sheathed. With his immense reflexes Saber can even switch the blade's state several times in a single swing, having it turn intangible to slip past an opponent's guard and then solidify again in time to slash them.

Ironically given its current wielder, Ridill is also imbued with a strong Anti-Dragon attribute and deals greatly increased damage against the Dragon-Kind.

Hrotti

Black Dragon's Howling

Rank: C+

Type: Anti-Army

Another demonic blade from Saber's treasury, even more sparsely documented then Ridill. A "sword of amplification" in the line of Excalibur and its many sister-swords, Hrotti augments its wielder's magical energy and expels it in a destructive blast. In Saber's case, the magical energy is provided through his own firebreath.

By holding up the sword in front of him and breathing fire through it, both the power and scope of Saber's attack is massively amplified by means of a resonance phenomenon occurring within the blade. Combined with the full performance of his draconized vocal cords, the resulting firestorm can easily reduce an entire battlefield to ashes.

Gnitaheath Fáfnismál

Evil Dragon's Womb

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Unit (Self), Anti-Army

A recreation of most infamous moment defining Saber's mythos, rebirth as a dragon guarding his cursed hoard Gnitaheath. Upon invocation Fafnir's swords shatter and the shards stab his flesh, merging into a metal carapace. In agony he metamorphoses into a giant silver dragon, treasury jutting from his back. Hurting him even as he covets it.

Saber's sanity scatters. In rage and pain he thinks of nothing but defending his hoard. He thrashes shedding cursed gold, jewels and swords to rain on his foes. His firebreath stokes to the level of razing towns. However Saber actually dislikes using this transformation. Reviewing his life and legend, he'd rather make full use of his human body and mind to appreciate the wealth he gained. Only a Command Seal can bring him back from this state, a gesture of trust from his Master he'd never lend normally.

Craft Essence

Tarnished Bonds
The cursed ring just a catalyst.
The greed in their hearts drove them to slaughter each other.
Brother against brother, father against sons.
The glittering home I was born in dyed red.

Regin and I the only survivors.
In that moment, it called to me. Still gleaming amidst the sea of corpses.
I accepted. I had nothing left.

Bonds of blood rust someday... but gold never tarnishes.
Or... maybe that wasn't it.
I saw the greed in Bro's eyes, how close he was to succumbing... and I grabbed it first.
The treasure, the ruin, I'd take it all on myself... not leave a scrap to anyone else.
I'd bring it down with me, all the way to Helheim.

So, wherever you are... walk forward with happiness, Little Bro.
Haa... fat chance that worked out. Guess I'm just a shitty dragon after all.

Been a while since I've posted a sheet here. Decided to remake my old Fafnir. Changed Skills while fleshing out Personality and added third NP + Craft Essence. Never quite satisfied with my old take as there were some things I didn't know how to express at the time. I also came up with a version where rather than just killing his father, his whole larger family fought each other for the ring, which I thought made him a more tragic figure. As usual comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!

[WhiteFrenzy]

HEY ROYD HEYYY. I MISS YOU.

Also, great example of a sheet by yours truly. That simple and effective style of writing is so... Refreshing. I couldn't ever and that's why I admire it even more.

- - - Updated - - -

Oh yeah, lemme gush over Natural Selection too. I liked the style of the sheet, even though I was struggling with the idea until the NP approximately. Honestly? I'd like to see more of your servants. It was a good, well-executed idea! And welcome to our CAS thread, Elissa!

[Elissa Cousland]

Thanks, I will try to post a couple more Servants, I have a Word document with almost 60 of them and this was one of the first I made after finding this place.
I'll probably post one of my own country next, the "Gauchito Gil"

[Dragoran21]

Natural Selection was a great fan servant, Cousland!

Please, we would love to see more.

I should also post mine as well. I have 2.5 finished ones that just need to translated into BBcode, and few almost ready sheets.

Actual research work just has kept me busy.

[GhostKutenaiabi]

The World is built on the backs of many. Not just legendary heroes. There are thousands of souls that form the foundation, the society that modern day relies on. Even Alaya acknowledges this fact.

The world does not rest on the actions of the great and remembered…

But on the broken corpses of the forgotten.

Anti-Stranger of the Uncountable

Attribute: Man

Strength: E+

Luck: E-

Traits: Anti-Hero, Collective Mind, Weak to Enuma Elish.

Cl@55 Sk1ll5 Cl@55 Sk1ll5
Bane (A+)
A denotation of a spiritual constitution that is foundationally composed of curses. Harmful acts taken towards others are carved into the target's destiny, forcing a conceptual disadvantage equivalent to Weakness on the victim and causing their protections and blessings to rot away. This can be mitigated to a degree by Luck checks, as well as anti-curse skills such as Magic Resistance and Protection from Curses.

Anti-Stranger’s Bane Skill functions on a basis of ‘quantity over quality’. The curses carved onto enemies are small, but there is a large amount of them. Building up and up and up…until it all comes crashing down.

Personal Skills Personal Skills

Oblivion Correction (Corrupted) (A)
The Class Skill of Avengers. Although living people forget many things, an Avenger never forgets…usually. Within the Anti-Stranger container, this skills has been damaged, in a way. Anti-Stranger is incapable of forgetting any of the lives that make up its existence…except for one detail.

No matter how hard Anti-Stranger tries, it is incapable of remembering a single one of its names.

Information Erasure (Name) (EX)
The erasure of all information related to this Servant, limited and focused on a single type of data. It is erasure of names…and only names. It is impossible to remember a single name Anti-Stranger gives for itself. The information just refuses to enter short or long-term memory. It is possible to get around this by referring to Anti-Stranger by its title…but if you ever think of that as its ‘name’, it will be forgotten nigh-instantly. Anti-Stranger is also affected by this skill.

Battle Continuation – Unending Tide (C)
A skill based around Anti-Stranger’s nature as a being made up of a massive amount of Phantom Spirits and ghosts. It is indeed possible for Anti-Stranger to be killed…but then, it returns. Only one of the phantoms within it died, but the rest remain. The reason this skill is only C-Rank is because the vast majority of Anti-Stranger’s spirits are…well, regular people. Strong enough attacks can kill multiple phantoms of Anti-Stranger at once.

Foundation Magecraft (B)
The ability to create Magecraft that can be built upon by others. Anti-Stranger’s spells are rather weak and underwhelming at first, but they can be easily replicated by Casters and even regular magi. Moreover, they can be easily improved – the weak spells of Anti-Stranger becoming much more powerful and adaptive in the hands of others.

It does not like this.

Personality
Personality
As its mind is a collective, the kindest way to describe Anti-Stranger’s personality is…erratic. It can shift between different perspectives, opinions, likes and dislikes at the drop of a hat. While it will always remain somewhat loyal to its summoner, it will tend to keep quiet to avoid confusing anyone. Combined with the fact that Anti-Stranger shows no emotion unless every one of its composite parts feels the exact same on something, they come across as a curt, cold Servant that only talks to people when absolutely necessary.

But there is one thing that nigh-guarantees an emotional reaction from Anti-Stranger. Something that incites fear, rage, sorrow, and regret in equal measures from every phantom.

The thought of being forgotten.

Noble Phantasm
Noble Phantasm
The Building Blocks of Civilization – Radix ex Societas

Anti-Weakness/Self (B)

A Noble Phantasm that activates on the moment of Anti-Stranger’s death. It is a highly powerful ‘blessing’ of sorts. When Anti-Stranger dies, any who Anti-Stranger views as an ‘ally’ or have acted as one will be blessed. If they are Servants, their parameters will increase dramatically – enough to make a clear difference in any fight they may be involved in. If they are regular humans, they will essentially gain skills of their own. What the skills are is random, but its guaranteed that they will be something those granted them will be able to make use of.

There is one other guarantee.

After this, Anti-Stranger will be forgotten. Their actions will be erased from the minds of…everyone. Only one with a high level in Oblivion Correction could even generally recall the existence of this servant. Even if people were to somehow learn of them later, their memories will not return. Only a faint sense of something missing.

The nameless dead are forgotten once again.

…
No. no no no no no NO NO NO!!!

THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PATH!

So many…so many of us died forgotten, unknown, unmourned, unacknowledged!

We accepted it to save others, but it keeps happening over and over!

NO MATTER THE ERA, NO MATTER THE PERSON, THERE ARE ALWAYS LIVES THAT ARE FORGOTTEN.

IT’S WRONG. IT’S WRONG IT’S WRONG IT’S WRONG!

THIS IS NOT THE WAY FORWARD. A PATH PAVED WITH FORGOTTEN CORPSES IS A PATH TO THE END.

TURN BACK. SAVE THEM. REMEMBER THEM. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

WE WILL NOT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. REMEMBER US.

REMEMBER US.

YOU WILL NOT FORGET US AGAIN.

Viral Phantasm:
Remember Us – Resentment of the Forgotten
Anti-Unit/Army (A)

The Viral Phantasm of Anti-Stranger, that will inevitably trigger after the activation of their Noble Phantasm. It is the Anti-Servant’s final, desperate rebellion against the idea that makes up their very existence. It is the purest regret of a being that hates themselves simply for being born.

Without the Servant container to hold the entity together, Anti-Stranger breaks down into its base state – an uncountable number of curses born from the grief and regret of every phantom shoved into its Spirit Origin, made even more deadly by them being forced to relieve the one thing they loathe more than anything.

Dying, and being forgotten.

And all those curses will flow into those blessed by Radix ex Societas, and from them, flow outward to the surrounding civilization. These curses grow in proportion to the amount people have made use of the provided skills. Structures will degrade, weapons will rot, and people will find themselves growing more and more sickly.

Despite the negative effects of this Viral Phantasm, it is not intended as vengeance on those that benefitted from Anti-Stranger’s death.

Rather, it is a simple plea expressed in the only way these spirits can – in the form of a curse. If one were to cut through to the center…they’d find three words.

“…please…”

“…not again…”

[Scotcheroos]

Oh. Oh boy. Oh dear, it's.....

Have a word from Michael (I have seen other people doing this and decided to jump on the bandwagon):

".....I won't forget. Not again. Never again. This Throne was built on ours, on yours and mine's, backs. You deserve recognition for their innumerable lives just as much as the heroes do. Even sparkling embers can shine just as brightly as the greatest of stars, after all."

Nice one. Though, would it go over well with them...? Even if Michael's sentiment is nice, It would probably not view him as actually understanding. After all, even if he represents the Soldiers...he still got to be remembered.

[Morg van Destro]

Happy April Fools! I brought you depression!

---

As the man sat amongst the destruction, lives snuffed out in an instant, buildings demolished beyond repair, the sky itself died red and the ground a scarred black pitch, the single question on everyone's mind is "Why?"

And the man will turn around and smile. Once, there was mischief and excitemnt in that smile. Once, there was something shining and sardonic. Once, it reveled in all things. Once, but not anymore.

The man's smile was void. Hollow as his eyes.

"Why? That's asking the wrong question. There is no why to be asked to begin with. The question you should be asking is:

Why not?
Don’t be upset. None of this is real anyway.

NP: B

Class Skills:
Item Creation (-):
This Skill has been completely locked out due to his distortion. However, due to the Skill’s already low rank to begin, it is no great loss.

Territory Creation (C):
Caster is able to create a “podium” from which he can communicate his arguments to the populace at large. This territory allows him to greater influence people with his Rhetoric. Rather than a ton of resources, all he really needs to create is a soap box, and he prefers it that way.

Existence Outside the Domain (E-EX):
Rather than being an existence from the void, Caster has become closer to being “a lacking of existence”, his body steadily degrading and losing its anchor in reality as the rank climbs higher. Once it becomes immeasurable, Caster will truly no longer exist. From the moment he is distorted, he is on a time limit for self-erasure.

Personal Skills:
Distortion (A):
Skill that forces the distortion of the class the Servant was originally called forth in. He or she would receive the other Class’s specialty as proof. Conversely, at least one among the set of the original Class Skills has declined.

In this distorted state, Caster has obtained Existence Outside the Domain from the Foreigner Class at the decline of Item Creation.

Rhetoric (EX):
A Charisma-like Skill pertaining not to the leading of groups of people, but instead to the convincing. Acting as a mental attack, this Skill causes those than can understand what the user is communicating to become inclined to agree with or believe them. The degree of this effect increases with the rank, with the highest levels being able to convince others of blatantly and obviously untrue things.

Paradoxologia (A):
Considered the originator of Paradoxologia, the study of paradoxes, Caster is a man born with a mind gifted in understanding circular and conflicting concepts. It is thanks to this he is so thoroughly capable of arguing a case that seems to bear little foundation as though it is the objectively correct choice.

It possesses the effects of Calm and Collected while also giving a resistance to mental attacks and disruption. In the case of another mind interacting with his own, there is a high chance of reflecting the intended effect back on the user.

Macrologia (A):
A baffling mental attack, this Skill uses his long-winded manner of speech as a means to disorient and make those that understand him more vulnerable to Rhetoric’s persuasive affects. Effectively, it renders them unable to properly interpret their own thoughts, allowing Caster to lead them more easily towards new and possible counter ideas.

Epitaphios (B):
A critique of the funeral orations of Athens, it is a work that proved Caster’s knowledge of funeral rights and even inspired a much more well-known dialog by Plato. A strange, weaker form of Evening Bell.

Noble Phantasms:
On Nature or the Non-Existent: Have You Ever Considered That None of This is Real? (C+++)
Anti-Reality
Nothing exists
Even if existence exists, it cannot be known
Even if it could be known, it cannot be communicated
Even if it could be communicated, it cannot be understood.

This Noble Phantasm is based off perhaps his most famous work, positing that nothing truly exists since it all is a product of subjective perception, meaning that both everything and nothing is, has been, and will be, but never was. Yet, the work itself defies this nature by existing at all, yet it cannot fully communicate Caster’s intentions, but doesn’t not resolve the conflict, creating a paradox. It is because of this that he gained the label “the Nihilist”.

Using this paradoxical nature of “existing in spite of itself”, Caster can make the impossible real with his arguments. So long as he is able to give a compelling argument or reasoning for something, it will be so. The reason for such a strong ability having a middling rank is due to not only the scale on which it can act, but also the need for continuity. Not only that, but the greater the thing he wishes to bring into existence, the more collective people he needs to convince of said existence. While its capacity is feasibly limitless, the biggest lies require the most convincing, which even Caster would have trouble enforcing.

His Distortion has had the effect of altering this Noble Phantasm due to the self-destructive existence Caster has transformed into. Rather than being able to argue things into existence, Caster now is a corrosive curse that can use his words to cause the erasure of existence. While he still needs to make his arguments, he has come to rely more greatly on his Skills when using the effect on living creatures, as their own Logos rails against the idea of not existing.

Encomium and Defense of Gorgias: Praise Becomes Reality (A+)
Anti-Fate
A bizarre Noble Phantasm that prevents Caster from taking damage or negative effects so long as he is able to argue about them.
If he has been stabbed by a sword in the heart, he can argue that it probably missed his heart, quite possibly slipping through his body without even grazing anything vital, meaning that removing the weapon from what may or may not be his heart would be as useful as having never made the strike at all, so the attack must have either missed or have not occurred at all. Suddenly, the weapon never struck the body, but everyone remembers both the event and the argument, but they also know it must be as he said because there is, in fact, no wound.

It is this paradoxical argumentation that can prevent even fate altering attacks from having their intended effect so long as he is capable of speech.

The inclusion of Existence Outside of the Domain has only enhanced this ability, as being an existence now barely holding on to this reality has made arguments against its ability to interact with him conceptually stronger.

Lore

One day, a Sicilian sailed into Athens. This man, both philosopher and rhetorician, quickly began making a name for himself as a teacher of rhetoric. This teacher drew not only the attention of both younger minds but the ire of famous philosophers. The most famous of said philosophers were undoubtedly Plato and Aristotle, the former dedicating one of his famous dialogs to denouncing a fictionalized version of him through his teacher Socrates and the latter of whom believed him a “frigid stylist” who only sought money by appearing wise.

This man was Gorgias, and he is one of the founding fathers of Sophistry.

Little is known about his life before arriving in Greece, and what is known is anecdotal at best. Even his activities as a teacher and philosopher are scarce, the vast majority of his writings lost to time. In fact, his greatest work, On Nature or the Non-Existent, is only known due to being referenced and quoted by other philosopher’s.

And that is the most interesting part of his legacy: that even with these hurdles, Gorgias still had a large impact both on other writers and philosophers. Even his detractors acknowledge that the man had a following in his time of many who would become famed in their own right, from playwrights and historians to doctors and generals. Even today, people still fight over whether he is someone who should be lauded for his writings and opinions or ignored as an unserious charlatan.

The answer likely lies somewhere between, but the man who is summoned here… is something else entirely.

Personality

The usual Gorgias can be described as “persuasively ironic” in how he speaks at any given moment. A master of speech and discourse, often affecting a devil may care attitude and indulging in eccentric behavior to purposely guide others’ perception of him. It can hardly even be called “playing the fool” as, despite the behavior, he never once attempts to downplay his intelligence. With a penchant for both flowery language and modern “lingo”, Gorgias chooses the approach that would best serve his plans and follows them without a single doubt. Even if his schemes were to crumble before his eyes, he would shrug and move on to the next.

That is not the Gorgias that stands here. The man here bears no self-assured smile or glinting enjoyment of life in his eyes. A man whose own personal philosophy did nothing to free him, but only shackled him down with a siphoning void where his heart should be. While both he and the normal Gorgias can be described as nihilists, this Gorgias has lost the will to “not exist”.

Moreso, he has chosen to inflict this “knowledge” on the world around him, becoming vindictive and cynical of both the world and the people within it. An empty void and empty lives people assert as briming and full. He has become disgusted with them, but also with himself for simply prancing about and treating it as solution. Though, perhaps it is a solution.

His words have becoming biting and targeted, his mannerisms sardonic and cruel, his mentality cold and direct. From the moment he is brought forth, he wishes to die and bring everything down around him, yet he still will argue when others attempt to end him. It is simply his nature, even as a non-existence. Whatever task is forced upon him, he will do it only so he may fade away and be as he knows he is.

Plato: Don't start whining again. I heard enough of your delusional drivel when I was alive. I thought I finally escaped having to listen.

Eris: Do you ever shut up?

Lucian of Samosata: The heroes always lose. They just always die before they realize it.

Alcibiades: Listen to teacher and fade away.

Gorgias-Gorgias: I hate you.
I love you too, best buddy!

I've been wanting to finalize Caster Gorgias, the "serious" Gorgias for a while, but part of me didn't just want to go over similar notes with just a more serious presentation and expansion on what he would have as a Servant, which is when the idea of this version came into play. Rather than just a Caster Alter, I wanted to use Distortion not only to change around a little his abilities, but also lean into him essentially being a dialogic nuke with a scorched earth policy. The kind perfect for "kill everything in this area" jobs like EMIYA was sent on. Plus, you can still see how actual Caster Gorgias would function, so it added both enrichment to me making it and definition for a non-joke Gorgias sheet.
Happy funny haha day!

BOND 0 Antonio Mamerto Gil Ñúñez, better known as the Gauchito Gil was a gaucho, a South American figure similar in nature to that of the northern cowboy.
However, in Argentina he is seen also as a folk saint, one whose miracles are not recognized by the church but is worshipped by the people anyway.
Contrary to the way one would picture a saint, however, it is a known fact that Gil was a criminal in life, a "Gaucho matrero" as they were called, stealing cattle and avoiding the law until he got caught and executed for his crimes.

---

BOND 1His story starts after he fell in love with the daughter of a local commander, making himself an enemy of both the family of the woman, and a commissioner who had tried to court her too.
This prompted him to participate in the War of the Triple Alliance to avoid the problems this relationship was causing him.
And so, after the war had ended, he got involved in the Argentinian Civil Wars, where he supported the Federalist Party. However, before the end of the war, he saw a vision where God told him to not murder innocent people, so he deserted and started to live as a criminal.
Living mostly as a cattle thief, he became a source of support to the people living in poverty, always sharing with them whatever food or money he could spare.
Sadly, these criminal acts eventually led to him being captured by the authorities, who gave him a death sentence.

"When you arrive, pray for me and your son will be saved. Because today you will be spilling the blood of an innocent man"

Those were Gil's last words before being shot, words spoken to his executioner who had capture him, and whom he had warned that his son would be terribly ill by the time he returned home.
Sceptical, but worried, he returned home after taking Gil's life only to find his own son about to lose his.
Although he didn't want to believe, he listened to the gaucho's words and prayed in Gil's name, causing his son to be miraculously healed.
Ashamed and regretful for his actions, he went back to where Gil was executed and gave him a proper burial as a way to ask for forgiveness and to thank him for saving his son.

---

BOND 2Personality
He tends to behave in a very non-saint way, being quite easy to anger him, which usually ends with him taking his knife out to threaten whoever made him mad.
However, despite that attitude, he is still someone who is willing to help the poor, the sick, and whoever he can without expecting anything in return. Except perhaps some mate or alcohol...
He also consider himself a protector of nature, being respectful towards animals and plants, not always enjoying the technological advances of human society

BOND 3Class Skills
Magic Resistance: C+
While he was never in touch with magic, as an inhabitant of the countryside he has already dealt with the supernatural in his life. The

Will-O'-Wisp

Luz Mala

, the Pomberito and the

Werewolf

Lobizón

were some of the creatures he had to face while alive, granting him a bonus when dealing with Phantasmal Species

God’s Resolution
Two command spells for each servant involved in the Holy Grail War, these extend from his back to his arms.

True Name Discernment: A
During a direct encounter, the Ruler can see a Servant's true name and entire status information will be automatically revealed. In regards to Servants with concealment abilities, a Luck Check is required to bypass those abilities.

BOND 4Personal Skills
Blood of The Innocent: B
It was believed that summoning the blood of an innocent had miraculous properties. And while he was far from being legally innocent, he never considered himself to be in the wrong. He deserted from the war to avoid killing innocent people, and he never stole more than he or the people he was helping needed.
Therefore, his blood is that of an innocent, and has the ability to heal wounds

Divinity: C-
The rank given to saints, forgotten gods and gods worshipped by minor cults. Not being recognized as canonical saint by the church, his rank is decreased

Gaucho: B
Due to his life, certain abilities and knowledge become second nature to him, no matter under what class he is summoned. This skill therefore serves as an equivalent of Riding and Instinct at B Rank, and Animal Communication at D Rank.

BOND 5

Espinillo's Lament

Killed on January 8th

Type: Anti-Aggression
Rank: C
Gil was killed under a tree of espinillo. The way he died changes depending on who is telling the story.
Some say he was hanged, some say that his throat was cut, while others say that he was shot. But either way, his blood was spilled on the roots of that tree that day.
And once his life was consumed by the tree, it became a symbol of his martyrdom and his ascension as a saint of the people.
His blood now has healing properties, but when he decides to spill it in the ground instead of using it to heal others, his greatest miracle yet comes to life.
It doesn’t matter what kind of ground is beneath him. Sand, concrete, dirt, his blood will turn it into fertile soil, and from that soil, countless of plants of espinillo will sprout from, turning the battlefield into a miniature sacred forest.
Inside this sacred ground, all wounds and illnesses are slowly healed, and the smell of the espinillo’s flowers will induce a state of calm on whoever smells them, being able to even temporarily relieve a berserker's madness.
Of course, this is extremely energy demanding for him, as his own life force is what keeps this “safe space” up

Saber of Detroit:
A Champion's Reach Exceeds His Fist

Appearance:

Source

True Name: Joe Louis

Alignment: Neutral Good

Strength- C
Agility- C
Endurance- C
Mana- E
Luck- C
NP- C+

Personality

Humble and quietly patriotic, he conducts himself with the dignity of a chivalrous knight from old. Saber detests racism and fights for the oppressed in every form. He appreciates facing worthy foes and relishes to test his fists against legends from across history. Saber dislikes the titles "Master & Servant", would rather address his summoner as "Manager". Contrary to Saber's usual stoic demeanor, he loves coca-cola and often stashes it on his travels. His wish on the Grail is to obliterate racial discrimination.

Likes: equality, fair fights, coca-cola, golfing
Dislikes: discrimination, managing money, betraying expectation
Talents: boxing, breaking racial boundaries
Natural Enemy: Max Schmeling

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance- E+
Protection against magical effects. A modern hero, he never brushed against Magecraft so only has a pittance from his Class Container. However, Saber's Noble Phantasm allowing to interact with intangibles such as Magecraft, affords him a modicum of greater resistance by physically deflecting spells.

Riding- D
Ability to ride animals and handle vehicles. Saber never famed for riding anything in life, although he could at least drive a Car.


Personal Skills:

Supremacy Breaker- B
Saber's victory over German boxer Max Shmeling helped shatter the Fuhrer's myth of Racial Supremacy. When faced with opponents innately "above" him, Saber's body adapts to match their advantages, striking well above his weight-class. However this only applies against advantages inherent and physiological, not the fruit of training. Furthermore such "adaptation" takes time and can be thwarted by demolishing Saber before battle draws on. It also has limits so while Saber can match blows against those of bestial or divine blood, the strain of "adapting" to true Monsters and Gods would tear his body apart.

Champion's Commandments- B
The seven precepts drafted by Saber's manager John Roxborough to set him apart from past flamboyant Black boxer Jack Johnson. They were: never be photographed with a white woman, never go to a nightclub alone, no soft fights, no fixed fights, never gloat over a fallen opponent, always stay deadpan for cameras, and never consume intoxicants. These brought him success and defined his career as champion. While the first has been retired as outdated, so long as Saber follows these vows, his physical stats receive + modifiers and he's immune to poisons as well as mental interference that would keep him from fighting in top shape.

Hero of a People- B
Saber's victories reverberated well-beyond the ring. During the Depression thousands of poor Blacks flocked to cheer him, seeing in his fists their own struggle against poverty and oppression. His defeat of Italian and German boxers in the buildup to WWII propelled Saber's adulation to the national stage. He became the first Black champion hailed even by Whites, and his death met countrywide mourning.

A form of Charisma rallying followers proportional to his victories, particularly among the suffering and oppressed. Additionally, the more hopes ride on Saber's fists, the heavier they become, striking with the weight of expectation placed on them.

Noble Phantasm

Detroit Legacy

Fist That Smashed Supremacy

Rank: C+

Type: Anti-Unit/Support

A crystallization of the monument honoring Saber's legacy in Detroit, a giant black fist immortalized mid-punch. This Noble Phantasm conceptually overwrites Saber's right arm with one of black bronze. His strikes with it count as C-rank Phantasms and he can even parry other Servants' weaponry. Furthermore, this Noble Phantasm embodies the "impact" of Saber's legacy. He contended in the ring not just against opponents of flesh and blood, but concepts such as racism and foreign nations. This allows Saber's right arm to interact with intangibles such as Magecraft. He can bat aside opposing spells, grasp and tear Bounded Fields like curtains.

Upon true name release, Saber's arm bulks enormously as he drives it forward like a battering-ram for a single giant punch. Condensing every blow he'd ever thrown in life into a sole almighty knockout, the distillation of 17-years boxing legacy. Afterwards, he'll be exhausted requiring rest and Mana to recharge.

Back with a new sheet. Thought of making him a Striker but figured if Bedivere can be Saber with a prosthetic arm, why not he? As usual comments and critique welcome. Thanks for reading!

Biography
Bond I
Thanks to the court mage Merlin, his birth was a miracle to grant the king of knights a successor to her kingdom; he was set to inherit a unified Britain alongside a dream of utopia, but tragedy led to his early death, which would later lead to the fall of Camelot. in legend, he is sometimes counted amongst the members of the Round Table. He serves as squire to Sir Lancelot and receives tutorship from Merlin.

Bond II
Height/Weight: 173cm, 52kg

Origin: Legend of King Arthur

Region: England

Alignment: Lawful-Good

Gender: Male

Bond III


While the king alongside the Knights of the Round Table were on an expedition or an incursion against the Saxons, a certain witch brought a mighty dragon from the reverse side of the world to ravage the kingdom of Camelot while the king and Knights of the Round Table were away.



Due to his upbringing and sense of great duty both towards the kingdom and its people, Lohot refused to remain in the castle while great suffering was being caused by the dragon. A prophecy by Merlin to the king of knights had her leaving behind both Excalibur and its scabbard, which he took as his sword, alongside taking the shield Prydwen.



Despite being a prince, he was raised with integrity alongside humility, showing respect to everyone, even those of lower birth. As a knight, he received training from some of the greatest knights who were ever to live.

Bond IV
His sense of both justice and right is strong, defending innocence and even people he does not know with everything he has, ever putting his life on the table if necessary.



As a prince, he was well liked by the people of the kingdom. As compared to King, he was more approachable and human. The thinking was that as long as he was set to inherit the throne, then even the inhumanity of Artoria would not be a problem.

Bond V
He is loyal to the king, but his faith is not blind. Perhaps it is the fact that he is set to inherit the kingdom, but he will not be silent if a matter is brought up on which he disagrees, even if he argues in a polite way.



Growing up among the knights of the Round Table was a dream, perhaps even more so as he had a lot on his shoulders as heir of the perfect king. He knew what was expected of him, and yet in his heart he hoped that he could be simply a knight.



And yet, perhaps that explains why he disagreed with the reasoning of staying behind to venture forth as a knight instead of staying locked in a castle while there existed suffering.

Bond VI
Alongside only his uncle figure, Sir Key ventured forth to confront the evil dragon. Logrin, brought to Britain by his aunt Morgan, facing the overwhelming power of the dragon of old. The battle was such that even with his skill alongside his great will, he only managed to survive thanks to the rejuvenating properties of Avalon until, with Excalibur, he managed to strike at the dragon at last, ending the calamity that wrecked Britain.



But the end of this tale was not a fairy ending, for as the dragon took its last breath, its blood transformed itself into the Vile Masiamsa, which bonded with Loholt's blood. So torturous and terrible was the pain he endured that even if he was being healed by Avalon, he chose to end his suffering.

There exist multiple different tales of how he died. According to some, he was brought to Avalon by the Lady of the Lake, and he waited for a reunion with Artoria.



According to yet another tale, tormented by pain, he requested Sir Kay to end his suffering by building a great pyre upon which he died while his soul was said to ascend to heaven.

Thoughts

[MuramasaMachII]

Lobolt: Definitely an interesting choice for a first (?) Servant, seeming that he's the son of King Arthur. I have no idea how this would work in the Nasuverse, given Mordred is already a rare enough occurrence. Then again, you mentioned that he's the result of Merlin's screwing about so I guess that works?

The Skills are pretty simple so I'd prefer some more flavour text in order to tie it into the character himself and how it connects to the lore. That's sort of an issue for the whole sheet I find, that basically the sheet could be more in depth and elaborated upon more, because right now it seems more so bare-bones.

The only other nitpick I have is the four NPs, especially Excalibur. He only used it once, unless if you want to use an Excalibur Galatine argument (Gawain borrowed Excalibur at times, ergo he has a copy) but just seeing the four NPs, especially when three out of the four belong to Artoria. I get that Riders are known for having multiple Noble Phantasms (looking at you, Achilles) but having all of those NPs seems like a bit much, I guess? Like, having both Avalon and Pyrdwen seems a bit too strong to me.

Anyways, interesting choice for your first Servant and it'll be intriguing to see if you post more.

[RoydGolden]

Gaucho Gil: When you first mentioned him I thought he'd be the South American counterpart to Gilgamesh LOL. Seriously though, Skills are good and his NP sets apart from other "outlaw-type" Servants. Out of curiosity, any thoughts on my Louis?

[Elissa Cousland]

I don't think there is anything even remotely similar to Gilgamesh in my country, maybe the Incas had something but they didn't get here lol

Also, i like the Noble Phantasm of Louis, it's pretty original to turn his legacy and legend into a prosthetic arm.
Probably not happening, but it's fun to imagine him parrying things like Excalibur or Enuma Elish.
