Caster
Wicked Half-Elven Princess, Skuld
Click here for a Sketch!
Region: Scandinavia
Gender: Female
Height: 135cm
Weight: 30kg
Likes: Handsome men and beautiful girls who are easily manipulated, being praised, causing pain
Dislikes: Feeling Pain, being ignored, the human side of her family
Parameters:
Strength: D
Endurance: E
Agility: C
Mana: A+
Luck: C
Noble Phantasm: A
Class Skills:
Item Construction: CWhile she is highly capable as a magus, her capacity in the creation of items is only average. She is largely restricted to items that assist with necromancy.
Territory Creation: AAs her half-elven blood renders her comparable to a magus from the Age of Gods, she is able to create a temple for her use as a base of operations.
Personal Skills:
Necromancy: ACaster is an unmatched necromancer, possessing excellent compatibility with the art of manipulating the dead from her very birth. Through the use of Necromancy, Caster can summon all manner of undead abominations. At its lowest application, she can animate and control the corpses of humans and similar creatures. However, even the bodies of phantasmal beasts are not out of her reach. Caster's heart turned black when she learned the truth of her origins, and so she forged the Island of Oland into a nightmarish realm of corpses and death. It was all for the purpose of slaughtering her half-brother and his companions, and depriving her father of his legacy.
Blood of the Elves: CA skill indicating Caster's nature as one who carries the blood of Scandinavian elves. At C-rank, this marks one who is half-elven. Caster was born due to the abuse of her elven mother by her human father. As a result, despite being born in the 6th Century, she is more comparable to a magus from the Age of Gods then many of her contemporaries. This provides a variety of beneficial effects, from a high degree of replenishment for her magical energy to a charm-like mental fascination she is capable of inducing in unaware opponents. Additionally, this also affords her a strong affinity with supernatural forces, causing various spirits and other beings to align with her with little effort. Caster met with her mother only a single time, but it was this meeting that changed the course of her life forever.
Sadistic Charisma: BCaster unquestionably enjoys the harm and suffering of others. But, even those she favors will know her fascination with causing pain. A magnetic effect suitable for a ruler, no matter how twisted, combined with her adoration for causing suffering. The affects of her charismatic and yet sadistic disposition are all the greater when utilized against those who suit her tastes. Truthfully, she did love her husband, but despite this fact she was still willing to utilize him as a tool to execute her plot against her family.
Noble Phantasms:Darkness Nightmare Capital
Oland
Rank: B
Type: Bounded Field
Range: 1-60
Maximum Number of Targets: 1000 people
Caster was utterly ruthless and without mercy. As long as it allowed her to reach closer to her goals, the Half-Elven Princess would pursue even the most heinous of measures. It was to this end, through her own magecraft and the manipulation of her husband, that she altered the island of Oland into a realm of cold and death. It became the perfect location to conceal her army of wicked spirits, evil norns, monsters, and undead, all for the purpose of slaying her half-brother Hrolfr Kraki. A bounded field that recreates the conditions of Oland during Caster's reign, rather then the land itself. It can be considered a weaponized location for the purpose of slaughtering even the most legendary of heroes, and it is the perfect location for Caster to plan her next move. While its establishment requires considerable effort, once Oland has been recreated it offers a number of benefits. Chief among these is the advancement of Caster's army. Her necromancy is normally limited to summoning human undead as well as utilizing corpses and spirits of the modern era, but once this Noble Phantasm has been utilized she is able to summon the undead that composed her army in life at will. This includes the manifestation of undead wyverns, giants, trolls, and even a pair of undead dragons. While they are weaker then their living forms, these reanimated monstrosities are still a considerable threat and can endlessly be replenished as long as Oland remains active. Within the bounded field, Caster is granted a staging ground bonus due to the replication of the kingdom she ruled. Conditions are hostile to all intruders. There is no light, and temperatures are well below freezing. A luck check is required for intruding Servants, or they will suffer a rank down in all physical parameters. Additionally, Servants of Good and Neutral alignments are subjected to an additional rank down, and the frigid air is all the harsher against them. Caster twisted Oland into a weapon for the sole purpose of destroying Hrolfr Kraki and his companions, a band of legendary heroes. It is only natural that this Noble Phantasm, representing the land where she raised her army of abominations, could be especially hostile to those of a heroic nature.
Skuld's Maneater
Great Quilled Boar
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-50
Maximum Number of Targets: 100 People
Among all of the abominations Caster gathered for the purpose of ending her father's legacy, the greatest and most terrible of them all was an enormous boar. With skin made of razor-sharp, interlocking quills, tusks and hooves that rended the earth beneath it, and a taste for the flesh of men, it was an ultimate weapon even stronger then the most powerful of her undead. A phantasmal beast of a remarkably high grade, a nightmare that emerged from the Reverse Side of the World to devour humans. Its enormous size and strength alone make it a devastating foe, but it is also capable of unleashing a hail of razor quills from its body as projectiles. Its breath is frigid, and can cause frostbite with only limited exposure. While it is an incredibly powerful and dangerous creature, it is also almost completely uncontrollable. Its only motivation is to seek out and consume human flesh, and upon being summoned it will rampage in search of lives to devour. It does not heed Caster's commands, though it does not see her as any form of prey. Even the wicked necromancer herself acknowledges this potential for destruction, and will thus only use this Noble Phantasm for brief periods of time or as a weapon of last resort. As a monster who participated in the slaughter of heroes, surely only the greatest of heroes could overcome it.
Lore: Half-sister to the legendary Hrolfr Kraki, of the Hrolfs Saga Kraka. Her father, Helgi, encountered her mother disguised as a loathsome old woman while at his hunting house. He reluctantly gave her a bed to sleep in, and she removed her disguise and revealed her true form as a beautiful elven maiden. Perhaps her intent had been to offer him a reward, or perhaps there was no meaning in it. Regardless, it was the action that followed that would result in Skuld's conception. Helgi forced himself upon the maiden, who disappeared afterwards. It was some time later that the infant Skuld appeared as if abandoned at his castle. While Helgi had forgotten his act of brutality, he sensed a strange form of kinship with the infant and ultimately chose to raise her as his daughter.
Even from an early age, the child Skuld exhibited pointed ears and an exceptional talent for Norse magecraft, or seiðr. She was adored by those around her, and lived an innocent life without any knowledge of her origins. While her demeanor was somewhat twisted from the very start, and she enjoyed playing tricks and making the lives of those around her more difficult, there as little true malice in her actions. As she grew, Skuld gained an increasing awareness of not only her capacity as a magus, but also her ability to manipulate those around her. But even this was not wielded with true malice, despite the sometimes somewhat cruel pranks she would play.
This changed when she met her mother, for the first time in her life.
It was when she had barely entered her teens, when intending to pull a trick on one of her caretakers out in the nearby forest, that she encountered the elven maiden who gave birth to her.
They spoke, and the truth of her conception was revealed.
Whether she questioned her mother, or if her mother told her, the result was the same. Skuld was horrified by the actions of her father, and swiftly grew to despise him. It was from here that she began to plan for her father's death.
However, he perished in battle before she could secure his murder.
Despite the fact that he man who had abused her mother was dead, Skuld felt only frustration. She had been deprived of her vengeance. How could she do anything for her mother's sake if her father was already dead?
---Her half-brother.
He was the heir to the throne of Denmark. He was her father's legacy.
And so, he was her new enemy.
Skuld was practically overjoyed with her new plan. She would destroy her father's legacy by slaying her half-brother, and then rule Denmark however she pleased. Its people would become her subjects, to do whatever she wished with.
She would let nothing stop her, now.
The first step was securing marriage to Heoroward, whose rule of the island of Oland would allow her an excellent opportunity to build an army for the sake of destroying her half-brother. Then, she began to manipulate her new husband, convincing him that the taxes leveled by Hrolfr, who now reigned as the King of Denmark, were unfair to a lower king such as himself. During this time, Skuld realized she was developing true affection for her husband, but that was secondary to her ultimate goal. He would be a tool for her until she had taken the throne.
Skuld utilized Oland to assemble a great army, composed of monstrous undead, wicked spirits, and a number of phantasmal beasts. She erected a bounded field that concealed her forces from the mainland, cloaking Oland in darkness and cold and making it impossible to know what she was planning until it was too late.
With her abominable army and the forces of her husband, Skuld mounted an ambush against her half-brother at Lejre, during a midwinter ritual celebration. Her initial attack slaughtered many warriors, soon reducing their numbers to only Hrolfr Kraki himself and his eleven companions. And yet, they were all warriors of legendary strength, and fought long and hard against even the most powerful of her beasts. They even slew her husband, and destroyed many undead and slaughtered many living soldiers.
But this did not dissuade Skuld, who had prepared for this battle. Even the death of her husband would not stop her.
She used her necromancy to raise the dead, again and again, until even her half-brother's strongest companions began to grow weary.
And finally it was done.
Finally, they had all drawn their last breath. Even the mightiest of heroes had been drowned in death and darkness.
Her half-brother had never learned of the actions of his father. And yet, he was the only remaining target for Skuld's vengeance.
Thus, while she did grieve her husband, she celebrated.
Skuld took the throne of Denmark and used it to do as she pleased. The country was hers now, wasn't it? No longer did it belong to the legacy of that bastard who had violated her mother.
So it was her right to do whatever she wanted. To force great warriors to entertain her and bow their heads. To force beautiful maidens to attend to her every need. To slaughter those who tried to reject her.
It was only right that the only remaining legacy her father had earned was the tyranny of his triumphant daughter.
But in truth, her triumph did not last.
A single man among Hrolfr's companions had managed to survive and escape her notice. He swore vengeance, and returned with an army backed by the Queen of Sweden, who was Hrolfr's mother.
They ambushed Skuld and bound her arms and stopped her mouth, rendering her unable to perform her magecraft.
She was tortured to death in vengeance for her betrayal and murder of the King. In her last moments, her life painted in shades of red and black, she cursed Denmark, all those who still survived, and the very spirit of her half-brother. She cursed the rotten fate she had been given, and she cursed the world that had robbed her of the chance to kill her father herself.
Her mother was never seen again.
Personality: Skuld is a confident and manipulative seductress. Her belief in her own capabilities is unshakeable. To some extent, this is born from the fact she had to carry nothing but confidence in herself in order to carry out her plan and take revenge on her father's legacy. However, it is also in no small part due to her upbringing reinforcing her ego. She enjoys manipulating others, and is fond of using her endearing looks and twisted words to get her way. A selfish princess who knows all to well how to ruin others. She enjoys praise and affirmation, as when it comes to her "subjects" she believes this is simply her right. She should be praised. It only makes sense. Her Master is by default considered to be a subject rather then anyone with any sort of authority, and she will refer to them as Master only sarcastically. Even if she takes a liking to them.
Having always carried a love of confounding others and being difficult, Skuld is a sadist who enjoys inflicting mental and physical pain. While her growing frustration and anger over her failure to secure her father's murder intensified these traits, they were a part of her from the very beginning. She has no regrets or hesitation when it comes to acts of sadism, though there is a clear divide in her mind between "sadism towards someone I feel affection for" and "sadism towards an enemy".
In terms of partners, sex matters little, but they must be beautiful. For men, she somewhat paradoxically likes heroic types even as a slayer of heroes. For women, she likes those who are noble-hearted. Naturally, being gullible is also a plus.
Despite her confidence in her skills at seduction, she is secretly self-conscious over her petite figure. It would be best not to draw attention to this.
Skuld hates the human side of her family. Whether it be her father or half-brother, they are all considered to be her enemy. She does not like to talk about them, and if they were to be summoned alongside her she would desire nothing more then their erasure.
She dislikes the cold. She dislikes those who won't give her the attention she believes is her right. And above all else, she dislikes feeling pain. Her greatest treasure would, in truth, be someone whom she feels would shield her from all of these things.
Her whole life had become twisted around a plan for vengeance. She was always arrogant. She was always cruel. But once, she had been without true hatred in her actions. Once, she was adored.
Perhaps those are the days she longs for.

Bond 5: “… I… Fine. I’ll let you in on… on a little secret, j-just because of your devotion. The truth is… I don’t like the cold. I don’t like to be hurt. I don’t like to be alone. Is that what you wanted to hear, at the end of all this? If so, you’re more wicked than I thought. So stay with me, ‘Master’. That’s the only way you can make up for your wickedness.”

Dialogue 2: “You can do so many fascinating things using corpses. Do you want me to show you? … Don’t make that face in front of your Queen.”
Dialogue 3: “I may be a Servant, but my service is far from guaranteed. Continue to show your loyalty, and I’ll drown your enemies in death in return. Even heroes can be made to die.”
Dialogue 4(Brynhildr): “A hero’s bride with a tragic end. Such stories are common, aren’t they? Maybe she’ll have a different ending here? Fufu, or maybe it’ll be all the more painful.”
Dialogue 5(Beowulf): “Mmm, if only Grendel’s bane were a bit more gullible, then perhaps… Oh? Plotting something? Of course not, Master~ I simply know what I like.”
Dialogue 6(Valkyrie): “Geh---Keep them away from me, Master. Those divine maidens. Their Noble Phantasm is completely incompatible with my necromancy. You wouldn’t want to frustrate me, would you?”
Dialogue 7(Artoria Pendragon or Artoria Pendragon Archer or Artoria Pendragon Lancer or Arthur Pendragon): “The King of Knights, leader of the Round Table? How resplendent. I’ve love to get to know you better. … Don’t just walk away!”
Dialogue 8(King Hassan): “I have a feeling that skull-armored Assassin and I wouldn’t get along well. But I can’t deny it, he has an excellent sense of aesthetics.”
Dialogue 9(Kriemhild): “Striving for vengeance for all that time and never achieving it---I can’t imagine that. Even if it didn’t last, I still managed to appreciate my triumph. That woman never did.”
Dialogue 10(Jack the Ripper): “You have quite the aptitude for leaving behind gruesome corpses, don’t you, little one? Perhaps we could work together! The more frightful the bodies, the more terrifying my soldiers are! ---I am not a kid!”
Something you Like: “Oh? What I like? Strong, handsome men. Noble, beautiful girls. The more gullible, the better! Ah, as well as pain, suffering, and the dead, of course, but that goes without saying.”
Something you Hate: “The things I hate? What a cruel question, ‘Master’. Don’t talk down to me. Don’t call me small. Don’t mention my wretched family. Don’t allow me to suffer pain. There, is that what you wanted?”
About the Holy Grail: “An infinite wish-granting device? Naturally, such a thing should belong to a Queen. It’s not as if I have any particular need for it, but it should be mine. I’ll tolerate no further questions about this.”
During an Event: “Are you going to lay about and do nothing? Something is clearly happening, so I won’t allow it!
Birthday: “This is the day you were born, so I suppose it’s only natural you would expect a gift. Surely, you must be desiring me, of course. Can you really say no~?”
Notes: I actually can't find the source I got the Great Quilled Boar from anymore, which makes me wonder if it was ever part of the myth in the first place. Still, I'm kind of reluctant to get rid of it since I think it suits her lore well. There's not going to be any fancy formatting from me yet since I have no idea how to do it. ^^; As I mentioned, this is a redo of the first Servant I wrote on here a few years ago. Not much has actually changed, but she's gotten a new sketch(I think I've improved a little?) and I've refined her skills and Noble Phantasm more. Otherwise, I've mostly just elaborated on her personality and history. I hope she's at least interesting!
