    "Why do my portraits make me out to be thinner? A trifling concern: the commons simply weren't ready to appreciate the full volume of my love for them."
    Biography
    Legend
    Joseph II, full name Joseph Benedict Michael Anthony Adam von Habsburg-Lorraine, was Holy Roman Emperor from August 1765 and sole ruler of the Habsburg lands from November 1780 until his death. He was the eldest son of Empress Maria Theresa and her husband, Emperor Francis I, and the brother of Marie Antoinette, Maria Carolina of Austria and Maria Amalia, Duchess of Parma. He was thus the first ruler in the Austrian dominions of the union of the Houses of Habsburg and Lorraine, styled Habsburg-Lorraine.

    Joseph was a proponent of enlightened absolutism; however, his commitment to secularizing, liberalizing and modernizing reforms resulted in significant opposition, which resulted in failure to fully implement his programs. Meanwhile, despite making some territorial gains, his reckless foreign policy badly isolated Austria. His policies are now known as Josephinism.

    He was a supporter of the arts, and most importantly of composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. He died with no surviving children and was succeeded by his younger brother Leopold II.

    Character
    Likes: His family, efficiency
    Dislikes: Baths, improper resource allocation
    Talent: Bossing people around

    An idol by nature. Bestowing the people's desires with a gesture, gaining their allegiance with a word. Inheriting Maria Theresa's philosophy of "loving everyone", Joseph conducts himself as someone born to love others.

    That said, the choleric Joseph's notion of "love" is nowhere near as straightforward as, say, his youngest sister's. For him, love consists of "doing everything for the other party". Combined with the incalculable amount of power afforded by the position of Holy Roman Emperor, this love became the foundation of Joseph's enlightened despotism, which took for its guiding principle the maxim "everything for the people, nothing by the people." Furthermore, the expressions Joseph's love takes range from insipid to insulting: this is because he believes that since everyone is equally entitled to his affection, everyone should receive the same proof of said affection-- no more, no less. It seems this warped notion of "love" was a major point of contention between Joseph and his loved ones, leading the former to declare himself accursed when it came to interpersonal relationships.

    It should be quite obvious by now, but Joseph's weak point is "receiving love", a trait he shares with-- and perhaps inherited from-- his mother. There is no room for such a thing within his imperial paradigm; if one were to gift him something, he would accept it as either tribute or a gift suggestion. Spending time with him, or even just reassuring him after one of his numerous plans fails, is therefore the better road to forming a relationship.

    Joseph's wish to the Holy Grail is simple: "a second chance at loving everyone". Whether or not this wish will unfold as disastrously as it did when he was alive is mainly up to his Master.

    Relationships
    Master
    Joseph insists on being called "His Majesty" and generally treats his Master as a courtier attached to his person. If they form a strong enough bond, His Majesty might be persuaded to grant them a noble title.

    Maria Theresa
    Joseph's natural enemy, a sentiment which is reciprocated by his mother. They often butt heads, and each can annoy the other in ways other people can only dream of doing, but that's what usually happens when two people with who are too similar in temper are made to work together.

    Marie Antoinette
    Joseph dotes on her more than any other of his siblings. He reserves his most scathing side-glances to people who want to get close to her.

    Antonio Salieri
    Salieri is Joseph's favorite composer, so seeing Salieri in his current state deeply grieves him. That said, he is pleased that the composer is of sound enough mind to continue their piano lessons which His Majesty obviously doesn't need because he is a competent pianist, thank you very much.

    Sigurd
    It seems there was an incident where they accidentally grabbed the other's glasses. It took both of them a whole day to even notice something was odd about their field of view.

    Class Skills
    Territory Creation: EX
    The ability to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana. As the Holy Roman Emperor, any territory that Joseph II claims is considered "the territory of the Holy Roman Empire".

    Item Construction: D
    The Skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Joseph himself can only produce items that make the task of management easier, but by employing his army of artisans, items of significantly more varied purposes can be created.

    Personal Skills
    Siren Song: D
    The natural constitution of having a beautiful voice; it is also a declaration of the exercise of power by the royalty. A fascination effect that's similar to magecraft, but evasion is possible with the Magic Resistance Skill. Even without Magic Resistance, one can abate it to some extent so long as they maintain a will to resist.

    The Austrian imperial family naturally possesses beautiful voices, much like a certain other Austrian family with a miraculous number of offspring. Joseph had the third-best voice out of all of them, behind Leopold and Maria Antonia. Furthermore, it is speculated that Joseph's naturally-beautiful voice catalyzed his famed fascination with music, which led to him receiving the moniker "the Musical King". That said, even though his voice is remarkable, Joseph is unfortunately second-rate at playing the piano-- "L-lies! Slander and calumny circulated by that tone-deaf toadstool Amadeus!"

    Mother's Guidance: C
    A skill that denotes maternal guidance and protection that somehow persists even unto the present day. For much of his early life, Joseph II was Holy Roman Emperor in name only, while the true power lay in the hands of his mother, Empress Maria Theresa. Even unto adulthood, the Empress continued to nag/influence her son in many ways.

    The skill decreases the chances of unfavorable rolls, and functions as a sort of "mental voice" that allows Joseph to sense the best path to victory. However, he deliberately suppresses the latter effect, since, in his own words, the voice telling him what to do sounds annoyingly like his mother.

    Despotic Gaze: A
    Skill that represents the accumulation of power and authority onto a single person; if acquired in the modern day, this Skill would probably be named "Micromanagement". Allows the bearer to re-conceptualize physical actions, spells, Skills and Noble Phantasms from Anti-Unit to Anti-Army, and vice versa.

    Even unto the present day, Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II is best remembered as an enlightened autocrat, whose reforms, which were aimed at equalizing/liberalizing/flattening the established social order, were inspired by the maxim "everything for the people, nothing by the people." To this end, he plundered executive authority from most every single institution within the empire and consolidated it into his person. As a result, even the smallest of Joseph's gestures communicated important policies that affected the entirety of his realm.

    Noble Phantasm
    Reichskleinodien: Commanding Brilliance for All Eternity
    Rank: B
    Type: Anti-Unit (Self), Anti-Army
    Range: 1-15
    Max targets: 1 person

    The Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire; or, at least, a small part of them. Being the first Emperor to be invested with the crown, mantle, scepter, and orb of Charlemagne for over a hundred years, Joseph naturally has strong ties with the regalia, and utilizes them as his Noble Phantasm in this form. Similar in nature to a certain Noble Phantasm possessed by another member of the family, it is a crystallization of the glory and divinely ordained authority of the monarchy.

    Once Joseph dons the regalia, he gains a boost in all parameters due to a type of self-suggestion. Additionally, all attacks made while the Noble Phantasm is active will receive the "holy" attribute, and all who gaze upon him unworthily will be inflicted with mental damage. The splendor of the royalty is not only for the sake of fashion or tradition, but also an exercise of the power that separates the monarchy from the common people.

    It's interesting to note how thoroughly I've imbibed the quirks of Sakurai's writing style despite not really caring much for her work on F/GO. Also, I changed the FC because I love Gordie. Sue me.

    Neat. I love the concept of his Noble Phantasm. Mostly because I used the exact same thing for my Lover - Maria Leopoldina sheet, which is a distant relative of yours. It's pretty neat detail.

    "Felicitations. Maria Theresa of the house Habsburg has been summoned under the Archer class. Contractor, won't you take me on a tour of my new realm?"

    Class: Archer
    True Name: Maria Theresa
    Gender: Male
    Height and Weight: 170 cm / 94 kg

    Noble Phantasm: B

    Despite her position, she is unexpectedly at home in the battlefield. "Had God not continually blessed my womb during the most dangerous years of my reign, I should have liked to fight for my inheritance myself!" --is something she herself once said.

    Biography
    Legend
    Maria Theresa, full name Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina von Habsburg, was the ruler of the Habsburg dominions from 1740 until her death in 1780, and the only woman to hold the position. She was the sovereign of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, Transylvania, Mantua, Milan, Lodomeria and Galicia, the Austrian Netherlands, and Parma. By marriage, she was Duchess of Lorraine, Grand Duchess of Tuscany and Holy Roman Empress.

    Maria Theresa started her 40-year reign when her father, Emperor Charles VI, died in October 1740. Charles VI paved the way for her accession with the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713 and spent his entire reign securing it, which meant that his heiress would only inherit a weakened and impoverished state, as well as enemies from the royal courts that turned their backs on the sanctions. Frederick II of Prussia (who became Maria Theresa's greatest rival for most of her reign) promptly invaded and took the affluent Habsburg province of Silesia in the seven-year conflict known as the War of the Austrian Succession. In defiance of the grave situation, she managed to secure the vital support of the Hungarians for the war effort. During the course of the war, Maria Theresa successfully defended her rule over most of the Habsburg Monarchy, apart from the loss of Silesia and a few minor territories in Italy. Maria Theresa later unsuccessfully tried to recover Silesia during the Seven Years' War.

    Though she was expected to cede power to her husband, Emperor Francis I, and her eldest son, Emperor Joseph II, who were officially her co-rulers in Austria and Bohemia, Maria Theresa was the absolute sovereign who ruled with the counsel of her advisers. Maria Theresa promulgated institutional, financial, medical and educational reforms, promoted commerce and the development of agriculture, and reorganized Austria's ramshackle military, all of which strengthened Austria's international standing.

    Character
    Likes: Baths, her family
    Dislikes: Plans going awry, dirtiness
    Talent: Benevolently meddling in her children's affairs

    An idol by necessity. Calming tempers with a word, gaining adoration with a smile. However, differing from her children, this disposition was not something Maria Theresa was born with. Rather, it was an image developed as an answer to the question of "how to contend with the other great powers that wished to harm her realm". "If the other kings will not respect a 'female ruler', then they will surely respect a 'mother'"-- such was her line of thinking.

    While Maria Theresa was successful in following this newfound philosophy when it came to statecraft, her success in doing so with regard to her personal life is more tenuous. She loved jealously and expected much of her loved ones, which made for a tense atmosphere when mixed with a philandering husband and children who did not inherit much of her tenacity.

    The second-most prominent aspect of Maria Theresa's personality, her love of cleanliness, was also developed as a response to personal tragedy. Her family (both the ones she was closely related with as well as the dominions of the Holy Roman Empire) was constantly threatened by smallpox, which Maria Theresa herself and several of her children contracted. After experiencing the trauma of having to bury her own children because of this disease, Maria Theresa dedicated herself to cleanliness and thenceforth declared herself an enemy of disease, investing a not-insignificant portion of state funds for the inoculation of her Austrian subjects.

    Summoned into the Holy Grail War, Maria Theresa's wish is "to prove my worth as a ruler". More than "love everyone", proving herself as a worthy successor to the title "Holy Roman Empress" was the only thing Maria Theresa failed to do (at least in her eyes).

    Relationships
    Master
    Regardless of age, Maria Theresa considers them as "a junior minister of court". Over time, their relationship may develop into something similar to "the empress and a senior advisor who's also a close family relative".

    Joseph II
    Maria Theresa's natural enemy, a sentiment which is reciprocated by her son. They often butt heads, and each can annoy the other in ways other people can only dream of doing, but that's what usually happens when two people with who are too similar in temper are made to work together.

    Marie Antoinette
    Maria Theresa's prettiest daughter. Out of all her children, she's the only one who accepted her mother's personal philosophy wholeheartedly, something Maria Theresa is particularly grateful for. However, said acceptance came at the expense of a sizable portion of Antonia's common sense, so close monitoring is required.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
    Maria Theresa's favorite composer. He is often invited over for tea and an impromptu recital. She tries her best (but inevitably fails) from laughing at the musician's bawdy jokes.
    Class Skills
    Independent Action: B
    Ability to exist independent of a Master’s supply of mana. It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.

    Magic Resistance: D
    Ability to resist magical effects. Cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.

    Territory Creation: EX
    The ability to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana. As the Holy Roman Empress, any territory that Maria Theresa claims is considered "the territory of the Holy Roman Empire".

    [b]Personal Skills
    Grace of God: C
    The greatest body and good looks, symbolizing "the beauty of the royalty". For Maria Theresa, the physical attributes attained will no doubt be those of a loving, reverent queen.

    Unblessed Birth: C
    Skill denoting the especially tragic circumstances of one's birth; the parameter measures how much the Servant's current self overcame said birth. Prevents the Luck parameter from receiving plus corrections, but shuts out mental interference and provides plus corrections to one's defenses.

    Due to being born female, the imperial line of the Habsburgs was extinguished, which would cause the empire Maria Theresa inherited no end of trouble.

    Uncrowned Rulership: A
    Ability that denotes talent in kingship that went unrecognized due to various reasons. This skill manifests abilities possessed by "the ideal king", such as swordsmanship, Riding, Charisma, Military Tactics, etc. at one rank lower.

    Despite having all the innate qualities of a king, Maria Theresa was deprived of most of the education that would allow her to take control of the kingdom she would one day rule. As such, she had to work harder than most in order to secure her position as ruler of Austria and the Holy Roman Empire.

    Noble Phantasms
    Reichsadler Auge: The Eagle's Gaze Pierces All
    Rank: A
    Type: Anti-Unit
    Range: 1-20
    Max targets: 10 people

    The Imperial Eagle's Eye with which the Emperor observes all that occurs within his domain; an exercise of the monarchical authority that became Maria Theresa's Noble Phantasm. Using the royal authority she accrued in life, she is able to attain the Clairvoyance Skill at C-rank while she is within her territory, allowing her to keep abreast of everything that happens within.

    Another, more offensive usage of the royal authority is the ability to condemn a subject to perdition with a single withering glance. By mustering up all her righteous fury towards a target, Maria Theresa is able to produce a single powerful beam issuing from her eyes to strike at the opponent's heart. While the laser may be moved while firing, precise targeting is favored in order to minimize collateral damage. Decisiveness, especially when meting out justice, is the way of the king, after all.

    Der Habichtsköcher: The Falcon's Pinions Conceal Her Brood
    Rank: A+
    Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
    Range: 0
    Max targets: 1

    The Falcon's Quiver, a Noble Phantasm that crystallizes "Maria Theresa's fame as a mother of kings" using the Biblical concept of "children are arrows in a man's quiver" as a base. It becomes possible for Maria Theresa to obtain Skills and even Noble Phantasms that became associated with her most famous children. These Skills include Princess of Loveliness, Calm and Collected, among others.

    This is a digression, but the one Skill Maria Theresa prefers to draw on the most is Siren Song. Don't tell anyone, but it seems that the Habsburg-Lorraines' beautiful singing voices was a trait inherited from their father's side--"My oh my, what sort of slander are we spouting now?"

    The mist crawls across the floor. You cough, you agonize, you are drained. The burning marks on your hand are less painful than the stress on your magical circuits.
    "This is not right," you think "a Servant should not siphon Mana away like that. Is it a Berserker already in rage? No, it can not be."
    Coughs interrupt your thinking and the Servant starts to speak.
    "Heeey. Are you fine? It would be such a bummer if you like already bite the dust before the fun even started, ya know?"
    "Ey you wimp, get a grip!"
    "Weak..."
    "Ara ara...please sisters..."

    So that is why. A mediocre magus like you could never sustain four Servants at once. You are doomed.
    "So my dear Master...let me ask you a question and if you answer you will have no problems anymore with providing Mana, okay? ♥"
    Eight pale eyes look down on you. Only the slightest tint of color in them, but all with a gaze that makes your skin crawl.
    "Tell us, Master..."

    Territory Fortification B
    The Pallanides are the Guardians of The Throne of Zeus. Since Zeus ascended to the role of King, his Throne became an object of authority. Who sat upon it was considered worthy. When he left it was them that prevented other gods, even Hera, from proclaiming themselves new Rulers.

    Riding C+
    As the attendance of the Thundering Throne and former combat space fighters, they have a capable rank. Because Nike is known as The Charioteer of Zeus, she has a positive modifier compared to her sisters.

    They endure the presence of Zeus; their resistance is naturally high.

    Divine Core of the Titanic Sentinal D
    Opportunistic machines, that switched sides and gained slivers of authority. To fulfill their duty they have an increased resistance against demerits and they force protective boons to last longer. The promised position from Zeus manifested as them gaining Divine Cores.

    Personal Skills

    Protection of the Royal Thunderer B
    The reward Zeus offered to the Titans if they switched sides. Respect, authorities and the promise to not take them away. Their loyalty to Zeus was declared a sign that victory was assured and Zeus was the rightful King. Hence they embody those aspects. They gain the ability to utilize and resist even powerful lightning attacks. Only those of Chief Gods may affect them. Effects that would seal away Gatekeepers abilities or Noble Phantasm are annulled unless they are targets of a Chief God.

    Enchainment C+
    The chains used to bind Prometheus, forged by Hephaistos. They are low ranking anti-humanity weapons, that are powerful against those of the Human Attribute or against gods who are inherently intertwined with humanity's progress like Prometheus was. The more they are connected to the concept of humanity outside of being "human" like the Pioneer of the Stars or some of the Voyager Class, the more potent their strength.
    Each one of Gatekeeper forms the chains into a different weapon with Nike the only one preferring to use the original form similar to a whip.

    What is the most important aspect of a King?

    AmbitionAmbition

    "Yeeaaah we gonna have so much fun! Bye sisters! See ya not! So where to start haha?"

    You chose Zelos.
    Ambition, Creativity and Vision for the Future are under her domain. A king needs the tenacity to climb the ranks, an Endurance above normal humans to show that they earned their right to sit upon a throne to rule the people. But the journey ends not there. He needs to have a goal, a motivation why he needs this power and use it wisely for the benefit of his country.
    You chose wisely.


    Thronos Moiragetês
    Throne of the Visionary


    The rear part of Zeus' Throne. The Throne was a station that updated and uploaded the King's abilities and data. Zelos fashioned this part into chest armor. It constantly adds Zeus' attributes as a Visionary for the people into the Master's body, albeit at a slow pace to not overburden their mortal body. It also makes the Master more durable and faster than any professional athlete. Therefore their Endurance and Agility rise to the level of low ranked Servants and the Master gains the Skill Single-Mindedness at a high rank.

    __________________________________________________________________________

    WisdomWisdom

    "Huuuh? You chose me? Got a death wish, you little shit? Hey hey hey, argh dammit now there are gone. Man...let's get this over with."

    You chose Kratos.
    Mental Strength, Intelligence and Wisdom are under her domain. A King needs smarts, a great mind and strategy to keep his territory united. An intellect superior to those around him to make him worthy to stand on the top of the kingdom. War does not break out if the enemy is crushed before they know it, internal struggle may never arise because the king notices the snakes in his nest. Efficiency for the sake of the people, an intelligence that serves the people. You chose wisely.


    Thronos Amboulios
    Throne of the Counsellor


    The right part of Zeus' Throne. The Throne was a station that updated and uploaded the King's abilities and data. Kratos fashioned this part into a face mask. It constantly adds Zeus' attributes as a Counsellor into the Master's body, albeit at a slow pace to not overburden their mortal body.
    The program connects the Master with their own body and increases the connections of the brain and magic circuits, making them smarter and faster, but also more potent than other Masters.
    Therefore their Mana and Agility rise to the level of low ranked Servants and the Master gains the Skill Inherent Insight at a high rank.

    __________________________________________________________________________

    MightMight

    "Tssk...fine."

    You chose Bia.
    Physical Strength, Battle Experience and Combat Expertise are under her Domain. A king needs might, a strong body and proficiency on the battlefield to protect his realm from invaders. A strength that is beyond regular humans to show that only the King is worthy to hold the title of Commander-in-Chief. When war threatens the lives of the people a king should stand on the frontlines. The first to fight, the last to leave, an idol of Power to look up to.
    You chose wisely.


    Thronos Sthenios
    Throne of the Strongest


    The left part of Zeus' Throne. The Throne was a station that updated and uploaded the King's abilities and data. Bia fashioned this part into armored gauntlets. It constantly adds Zeus' attributes as a combatant into the Master's body, albeit at a mediocre pace to not overburden their mortal body. Because combat with weapons became outdated in modern days, Bia chose to only provide the Master with hand-to-hand combat, which makes them a fiercer and faster martial artist than other athletes. Therefore their Strength and Agility rise to the level of low ranked Servants and the Master gains the Skill Valor at a high rank.

    "Aww, I won, who would have guessed fufu...Bye sisters, I will miss you!"

    You chose Nike.
    Victory, Charisma and influence are under her domain. The king should be victorious in any regard. A natural winner who wins over the hearts of his people. They have a positive reputation before even ascending to the throne. Struggles to remain popular and beloved even with unfavorable conditions for the subject are naught when the king itself is an object of adoration. The king knows best because he already won. You chose wisely.


    Thronos Laoites
    Throne of the People


    The front part of Zeus' Throne. The Throne was a station that updated and uploaded the King's abilities and data. Nike fashioned this part into a crown. It constantly adds Zeus' attributes as a Leader into the Master's body, albeit at a slow pace to not overburden their mortal body.
    Nike infuses the Master with her own power as a Goddess of Victory and grants them her Blessing of Swift Victory.
    Therefore their Luck and Agility rise to the level of low ranked Servants and the Master gains the Skill Charisma at a decent rank.

    "Ara ara. You chose us all. Greedy little human. On the brink of death and still wanting more. But that is fine with me. So girls. Seems like you are still under my command, you little bitches can not get away from me this time ♥"

    You were greedy. You dared to choose them all. Good. A King needs to be greedy and daring. He has to want it all and take it all. Why choose only one when he can have it all? The King is the one who is unsurpassed in Will, Brain, Brawn and Fame. The people will not settle for less. The most powerful version of The Pallanides manifest:

    R I D E R
    of the Thundering Throne

    Because all four work together the Divine Core of the Titanic Sentinal Skill raises to rank A.
    The following skill is added:

    Combination A+
    An extraordinary rank. Machines of the same fleet and model. They experienced battle as a unit and can communicate without even looking at each other. Coordination will never be a problem, even in high-speed combat.

    Thundering Chariot of the Lightning King




    By connecting their Saint Graphs, Rider can summon their former Aletheia in full form. A galloping machine of Terror that rushes through any battlefield with fierce flashes of lightning. In its path, only cinders remain as if thousands of lightning struck at once. It is the true form of Zeus' Throne. The Master can enter the machine and be protected from the incredible speeds Rider can reach. Victory is assured for the person that is invited into the mobile throne. But beware, it is the seat of Zeus, even if you are considered worthy, it takes a toll on your health as lightning will traverse through your body. But it is a Blessing. It will insert the different skills granted by all four of them into your soul. If you survive the baptism in thunder, you will be reborn as the Lightning King.

    "And Styx the daughter of Okeanos was joined to Pallas and bare Zelos and trim-ankled Nike in the house. Also she brought forth Kratos and Bia, wonderful children. These have no house apart from Zeus, nor any dwelling nor path except that wherein God leads them, but they dwell always with Zeus the loud-thunderer. For so did Styx the deathless daughter of Okeanos plan on that day when the Olympian Lightener called all the deathless gods to great Olympos, and said that whosoever of the gods would fight with him against the Titanes, he would not cast him out from his rights, but each should have the office which he had before amongst the deathless gods. And he declared that he who was without office and rights as is just. So deathless Styx came first to Olympos with her children through the wit of her dear father. And Zeus honoured her, and gave her very great gifts, for her he appointed to be the great oath of the gods, and her children to live with him always. And as he promised, so he performed fully unto them all."
    - Hesiod, Theogony

    To describe the four Demons with only two words: "Opportunistic Bitches".
    Each one is more depraved than the next. When Zeus offered the chance to switch sides, they immediately took up the offer to gain a position in the next generation of the Fleet. Previously tasked as mere supporters, they knew that the Mother of Gods Rhea created new monsters and that the old Fleet would not last against the mighty new Flagship.
    They can be compared to the runts that always have good job opportunities in new regimes, as long as they obey their leader and follow orders without question. Together they represent the work needed to build a kingdom, while another group, The Horai, represents the benefits of such a regime created by force (Peace, Justice, Good Law).

    Zelos presents herself as the Spirit of Ambition but actually represents rivalry, emulation, jealousy, envy and zeal. She is often compared to Eris, the goddess of Strife, who is unaffiliated with the Machine Gods and possibly a goddess of Greece before the Fleet entered our realm. Zelos frolics in instigating disagreements and fights between people, not afraid to spread rumors and half-truths to get her kick out of seeing people argue. Being summoned in the modern world she found her new home on social media and enjoys the senseless verbal wars fought between faceless profiles and anime pictures. When confronted about it she talks with an innocent smile and a halo above her head, that she only tries to calm the strife and not fuel it, but it seems that she is not effective.
    "Guess I have to try better, next time! :p "
    Her favorite site is a weird little forum called "Monster's Nest" or something.

    Kratos acts like the Spirit of Intelligence, but in truth is the Daimon of superiority, oppression and sovereign rule. She has the best described personality of them all, due to her appearance in Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound. There she is depicted as someone who blindly follows Zeus' commands and demands unnecessary violent punishments on each step of the way for Prometheus. There her political opinion is depicted as well, that only Zeus himself is truly free as he is on top of the hierarchy and all others have to bow before him. When Hephaistos was too mild-mannered and hesitated to bound a fellow god (especially his predecessor), Kratos started mocking the Olympian God for it.
    "Now drive the adamantine wedge's stubborn edge straight through his chest with your full force...huh? No, I am not doing that, cmon, Bia, do your thing."

    Bia appeared with Kratos, but remained silent. As the Spirit of force, bodily strength, but also compulsion, she is arrogant to a fault. She sees herself so superior to all others and does not talk to anyone except to Zeus and mentally with her sisters. When Prometheus was to be bound upon the cliff as punishment, only Bia was said to be strong enough to chain the god. This is not entirely true, other's could have done it too, but Bia delighted in seeing the weakened god struggle and took her time seeing Prometheus attempt to set himself free from her silent grip. She certainly gets her kick out of it when she can feel superior to others.
    "Hehe..."
    It also shows that Kratos is all talk and rather lets Bia do the dirty work, even in combat, where Kratos prefers to stand in the backline and fires support instead of fighting close combat like the rest.

    Nike is the head of the sisters and seems to be the most normal of them. With a serene smile, she tries to reign in her fellow sisters to behave and be kind. A typical big sister persona. In myths, she is described as a great singer at the wedding of Cadmus and Harmonia and when all gods have forsaken Olympos when Typhon approached, she stood beside Zeus and gave a rallying speech so that he may fight. But all that is just a ruse. Her smile is eerie, never reaching her eyes and her sisters fear her when she says something.
    The reason is that she is the charioteer of Zeus, and her sisters can be forced into the form of the chariot. With her Heavenly whip, the golden chains forged by Hephaistos, she likes to slash at her sisters when they did not follow her orders exactly as told, sometimes even inventing mistakes. The speech she gave for Zeus was just to save her own skin. If Zeus lost hope, she would be destroyed as well. To avoid punishment from the Loud-Thunderer for failing a mission, she does not hesitate to sacrifice her sisters and force them into the form of the Chariot, which seems to be painful for them. She is the Goddess of Victory with no hesitations to achieve it.

    "It was the easiest decision in our life. Switching sides and abandoning the old Fleet was the right thing to do.
    Well now it is, it was a gamble we were willing to take. And ugghh the payout was so good.
    Seeing how these old hunks of junk fall to the might of the newer generation was sooo satisfying.
    For centuries and longer we were just little flees serving the mindless idiots without appreciation. Zeus offered us what we deserved anyways!
    An easy job and we can do what we want. Just do not fail what the Lightning Freak orders us to do from time to time and we have a leisure life.

    Servant Ruler:

    Appearance:


    True Name: Guthrum

    Alignment: Lawful Good

    Alternate Classes: Lancer, Rider, Berserker, Caster, Avenger

    Equipment: A broadsword and his tattered raven-banner. Also always carries a copy of the Bible and several runic scrolls with him.

    Strength- B
    Agility- C
    Endurance- B
    Mana- C
    Luck- C
    NP- B

    Personality
    A relaxed and joyful man, the numbness clouding his soul has almost entirely been banished to leave one who has a deep sense of inner peace. Having mostly distanced himself from the martial pleasures that were once a sole escapism from his frozen heart Ruler has thrown himself into the role of a scholar, being passionate about exploring the details of different lands and culture-spheres. As a king he believes in hearing out everyone's perspectives (whether they be Pagan or Christian) before coming to an optimal decision, after all wisdom even came to a warmongering old fool like himself so surely no one should be left out.

    Ruler prefers to resolve conflicts through negotiations rather than bloodshed. However when pushed to fight he shows a sliver of his previous self as warrior-king, grinning eagerly as he asks his opponents if they truly wish to face one who once commanded the Viking hordes. Ruler still finds joy in battle yet now tempered with the conviction of a higher purpose he's become a true warrior, one who fights not to kill but to protect.

    Ruler has both a rivalry and respect for Alfred the Great as not only the only man who ever defeated him in life but whose convictions impressed him enough to lead him away from his grisly path. Part of him still wishes for a rematch between the two of them as Servants, not a war of empires or ideals but merely to compare strengths with his greatest rival once more.

    While he doesn't show it usually wishing to present a good example to those who look up to him Ruler in fact feels a deep guilt and conflict over his past actions as king. Decrying his old self as a bloodthirsty brute who conquered and despoiled without reason, even more unforgivable for possessing an intellect that should've recognized his actions were wrong. Ruler has come to mostly reconcile himself to his past accepting that his wickedness and redemption were all part of the plan of God.

    However, there is one thing he can't bring himself to accept. His nephew Harald who longed for a place in Ruler's empty heart and threw himself into an early death on the battlefield in a desperate attempt to earn his king's favor. Rider still laments guiding that boy on the wrong path and deeply wishes for a chance to correct him and serve as a proper loving uncle. Though he doesn't believe he has any right to ask for such thing after taking the lives of so many, were Ruler to harbor his own wish on the Holy Grail, it would certainly be for a chance to meet Harald again and absolve that regret on his heart.

    Likes: the cultures of the world, peace, worthy battle
    Dislikes: trampling foreign cultures, senseless killing, his past self
    Talents: cross-cultural dialogue, kingship, to study ancient texts
    Natural Enemy: Alfred the Great, the other him


    Class Skills:

    God's Resolution- N/A
    The privilege of the Ruler presiding over a Holy Grail War. Each Ruler is normally granted two Command Seals for every Servant that participates in the Holy Grail War. Cannot re-appropriate the Command Seals of others. Sealed in favor of his Conversion Of The Faith Personal Skill.

    True Name Discernment- C+
    Upon encountering a fellow Servant, status information such as true name, Skills and parameters are instantly revealed to Ruler with a successful Luck check. Should they hail from either the English or Scandinavian worlds the need for a check is bypassed. "After all, does a ruler need a reason to recognize his people?

    Magic Resistance- B+
    Confers protection against magical effects. At this rank spells with a chant below three verses are cancelled. Even the likes of High Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals have difficulty affecting the Servant. One of the last kings who straddled the threshold of the Age of Gods, Ruler obtains strong resistance against mysteries tied to his land's Pagan past. Bolstered upon converting to Christianity and receiving an additional protection from sacraments of the Holy Church.


    Personal Skills:

    Conversion Of The Faith- C+

    "For not till the floor of the skies is split,
    And hell-fire shines through the sea,
    Or the stars look up through the rent earth's knees,
    Cometh such rending of certainties,
    As when one wise man truly sees
    What is more wise than he."

    A variant Protection Of The Faith given to those famous for converting to a different religion. As a condition of his truce after the Battle of Ethandun it was unclear whether Ruler's conversion was genuine or merely bought at swordpoint. However this Class attests the belief that it was a genuine change of heart which drove Ruler to abandon his conquering ways, having been impressed by his greatest rival with a way of living that could fill the emptiness in his soul.

    Replacing the Emotional Freezing he would possess in other Classes, this serves as a wellspring of mental fortitude that allows Ruler to persevere in his bleakest moments. Absolution of mind and body born from one who truly glimpsed God amidst the chaos and upheaval of the battlefield. Furthermore upon defeating an opponent Ruler can offer them the same chance that was given to him, to change their life and commit to following a higher cause. In this case the Skill imparts the effects of Proof Of Friendship at rank B. Should they agree creation of a secondary Servant contract is established that gives Ruler a set of Command Seals pertaining to the target for the remainder of the Grail War.

    Mystic Eyes- A

    "And Gorlias grasped the great flag,
    The Raven of Odin, torn;
    And the eyes of Guthrum altered,
    For the first time since morn."

    Denotes the possession of Mystic Eyes, capable of imparting magical effects upon a subject and interfering directly with the outside world. While there was no legend of Ruler's eyes having supernatural powers in life he obtains this Skill thanks to the legend of his epiphany at the Battle of Ethandun. It was said that in the shock of his defeat Ruler's eyes altered as he saw the world clearly for the first time, confronted by a power and wisdom infinitely greater than man. A monumental experience that was likened to the whole heavens and earth being rent asunder. As a further boon from the revelation he received Ruler's eyes have been sanctified into doorways to the divine, Mystic Eyes of the highest grade known to thaumaturgists as "Jewel".

    Having glimpsed the wisdom of God that is foolishness to humans, the proper classification of Ruler's Mystic Eyes is "Inversion". He can reverse the concept of anything he gazes upon, such that curses become blessings, an invincible armor crumples like paper and a sure-hit attack will certainly miss. However this only applies as long as Ruler can hold his gaze on the target and enforcing the logic of the divine alien to humanity's common sense is immensely taxing to his mind and Mana. As such he can only activate this ability for several seconds at once and will need to rest for at least a short time afterwards. Furthermore more complex concepts such as many Noble Phantasms will be harder to invert and require some degree of comprehension of their effects first. As a visual effect Ruler's pupils turn cruciform and glow with light when he uses this Skill.

    Magecraft Across Worlds- B

    "And Guthrum shook his head but smiled,
    For he was a mighty clerk,
    And had read lines in the Latin books
    When all the north was dark."

    A Skill held by those who are familiar with styles of Magecraft from across disparate culture-spheres. As a king over parts of the Christian and Viking worlds, Ruler's status serves as a
    skeleton-key
    bridge
    that allows him to freely access both Holy Church sacraments and old Nordic runecraft. Furthermore he can even
    syncretize
    combine
    them to realize new and more diverse effects. One might assume reticence on Ruler's part to wield the powers of his Pagan ancestry but he in fact has no qualms repurposing it for a higher cause. After all, a certain man once told him that only a Christian safeguards the noblest parts of heathen culture.

    Sin
    Glory
    Of Bygone Days- C-
    The memories of his time as Viking warrior-king haven't been dulled with his conversion to Christianity but continue to blaze strongly within him. By tapping into those recollections Ruler momentarily regains his old self as a warrior, gaining + modifiers to his physical stats as he cuts a swath across the battlefield. Furthermore his war-standard regrows, shedding its desiccated appearance and returning to Ruler a fragment of his
    Raven's Banner
    Hrafn Guðfani
    Skill that spreads similar benefits to his allies while enemies are stricken with a terror status.

    However as this Skill brings back painful memories of the man he once was, a nihilistic destroyer who intoxicated himself in blood to drown out the emptiness of his own existence, the psychological damage of using it strains his Saint Graph significantly. Upon emerging from his war-frenzy Ruler incurs self-damage that reduces his stats for the next few turns. He will only fully draw out this state as a last resort if truly backed into a corner. Ruler's Noble Phantasm and other Personal Skills are also incompatible with this one due to symbolizing his mentality after conversion and hence unusable while it's active.


    Noble Phantasm
    Athelstan
    Sign Of The Breaking Spears


    Rank: B

    Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Weaponry

    "In Wessex in the forest,
    In the breaking of the spears,
    We set a sign on Guthrum
    To blaze a thousand years."

    A Noble Phantasm dubbed after the name Ruler took upon baptism and crystallizing his miraculous conversion after the Battle of Ethandun. It was said that God sent a sign upon him in the breaking spears of that battle. Given form through Ruler's torn raven banner that he now wields like a spear, brandished to show the futility of the gods he once served. Upon invoking its true name Ruler's standard blazes to life with holy fire as he channels the concept of all the weapons broken in that battle into a single strike that will surely shatter the opponent's armament and defeat them.

    In essence this technique is "the breaking of a thousand spears" compressed into a single attack, requiring divine intervention or a Noble Phantasm durability of rank B or higher to save the opponent's weaponry from sundering should they attempt to directly block it. However, it is not meant to take life. Much as Ruler was spared to realize the folly of his ways this Noble Phantasm merely defeats the opponent so they have a chance to take a new path in the future. In essence it carries "the offensive values to kill the opponent - 1" to always be strong enough to subdue the enemy without killing them. Naturally this Noble Phantasm is ineffective against foes who can't be defeated nonlethally, for reasons like rapid regeneration or powerful attacks they can unleash even on the verge of death.





    So this might be a bit of a stretch for the contest since it's another version of a sheet I made like yesterday, but it does still fit the wording. As usual comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks for reading!

    "So you are the one that summoned me, master? Very well then, the First King of the Israelites shall help you on your quest! And this time, neither my sword or my conviction will falter!"




    Class: Saber
    Alternate Classes: Lancer, Berserker
    Name: Saul
    Alignment: Lawful Neutral
    Origin: The Book of Samuel

    STR: B
    END: B
    AGI: C
    MAN: C
    LUK: E

    Like: Validation, Music
    Dislikes: Not measuring up to espectation
    Talent: Establishing kingship
    Natural Enemy: David
    Armaments: Sword

    Class Skills
    Magic Resistance: A
    Grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what greater magecraft it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer".

    In service of the Lord, Saber led an endeavor to purge almost all of the witches within his kingdom. Both the blessings of God and his experience at dealing with mages leave him with a top-class magic resistance. Tough hypocritically, he would in his old age go to see a witch to ask her to contact the soul of the prophet Samuel.

    "Back in my times, witches were truly creature of pure power, able to destroy a kingdom should they so wished. So I can assure you that none of your paltry modern magic could ever measure up to me."

    Riding: C
    A Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability. One can flawlessly manage beasts and vehicles if they have received the proper training and adjustments. Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.

    As a military commander, he was of course expected to be able to ride horses. However, as he has no special feats doing such things, his rank in this skill is average.


    Personal Skills
    Divine-Chosen Ruler: C
    A unique skill indicating the statut of Saber as the one chosen by God to become the first king of Israel, who before was a loose community of several tribes centered around their religion. Starting out as a simple man, the prophet Samual designted him as the one meant to unite the twelves tribes to organize them into a proper country. And in doing so, he formed a proper army that mangaged to defeat the Ammonites, bringing glory to him and his people.

    A composite skill that include Charisma and Military Tactic, both abilities being necessary for the purpose of a king that brings victory to his country. Furthermore, as the one who reformed Israel into a real military power, he get a bonus when training others so that they can fight a soldiers. In a way, it might be said that his main function is setting the stage for future heroes...

    "At first, I dreaded the title of king and the responsabilities that it wrought. But as I acted as one, I grew to like the adulation and the praise my people gave me. Truly, this victory was the pinnacle of my life."

    Mana Burst (Light): A-
    A subspecies of Mana Burst that is granted to those recognized as the divine. This skill serves as an extension to his Noble Phantasm and as proof of his role as the man chosen to defeat the Philistine, enemies of the people chosen by the Lord.

    He can reinforced both his unarmed blows and his weapons with jets of shining magical energy. Furthermore, as this energy is the punishing light of Heaven, it possesses anti-evil properties and deal extra burning damage to those recognized as enemies of the Lord. However, under certain circumstances, this energy may grow out of his control. Much like what happen when his ego drove him to disobey God's orders out of a hunger for prestige, he may very well lose the blessings he was given...

    Natural Body: D
    The possession of a perfect body as a living being since birth. Saber was known both for his great beauty that made women drag out their conversations with him to admire him, and for being the tallest and one of the strongest of the Israelites of his time. In fact, it was said that his perfect body was one of the factors which made God chose him as a king. Tough even his great strength wasn't enough for him to defeat Goliath, the gigantic champions of the Philistines, which mean a certain young shepherd had to step up to the plate, proving himself greater.

    At will, he can recieve a temporary rank-up to his strenght. Furthermore, no matter how much calories he injest, his body won't change. Even without training, his body always bore a great strength as if he was blessed by God since birth.

    "I was always proud of my strength, of the way it brought me victory. But that time, all I could do was watch, frozen in fear... Until he came...!"

    Demonic Possesion: B
    A corruption from within that distord the mind and eventually the body as well. Mistaken as possession by an evil spirit during Saber's time, it was a condition that plagued him, especially later in life when the Lord gave up on him. It had to be calmed down by the mystical harp playing of David, the same young man who had slain Goliath. However, his jealousy over the respect his people were giving to the later and his own paranoia only worsened his state, causing him to lash out violently multiple times. Eventually, he would fully fall to his worse impulses as he became obsessed with killing the younger man, starting a country-wide manhunt and even threatening his own son over it.

    More accurately a curse than a skill, this cause Saber's negative emotions to increase strongly within him, making them liable to get out of control unless he make a conscious effort to keep them in check. When he does lose control of his own impulse and rampage, he get a bonus to his physical parameters as he is filled with demonic strength. However, the most he let his dark side rage, the more control he loses over it, making this skill activate more and more. Furthermore, use of it will eventually shift his alignment to evil over time, turning him into the tyrant he was at the end of his life.

    "It's... It's not my fault! How is a simple man meant to deal with all of this! The prophet, The Lord... Neither of them were here when I needed them most! My successors erred too, so why was I the one cursed like so? What makes them better than me? Are... ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME, TOO?"

    Noble Phantasm

    Blessing of the Chosen King
    Hemmelkh Hemavhedt

    Rank: A--
    Anti-Army


    The sword which, according to Jewish legends, was given to Saber by his God as no mortal weapons would be fit for the king chosen by god. It is a sublime Divine Construct that designate its wielder as a rightful ruler, much like Gram and Excalibur. As such, it is a very powerful weapon which allow Saber to channel the light of God through his Mana Burst (Light) skill. By calling upon its true name, he can fully unleash the Lord's divine wrath upon his enemies, making a huge burst of Holy Energy sprout from the blade to devastate anything in front of it. In other words, you standard sword beam that your common Saber possesses.

    However, there is an hidden, darker nature to this Noble Phantasm. At the very end of his life, after a disastrous battle against the Phillistines at Mount Gilboa, he used his sword to take his own life rather than let himself be killed. It may very well be said that it is as dangerous to him as it is to his enemies. As this weapon was made to serve a 'perfect king', its blessing relies on Saber keeping up the proper behavior of a King who obey the will of the Lord. Should he acts in a way that run counter to this ideal, cracks will begin to appear on the blade as he lose its favor. The damage is not only cosmetic, as the more damage the weapon is, the more magical energy will leak out of it, causing damage to anyone around it, including its wielder. In short, the more of a sinner he becomes, the more he shall be punished.

    Should he reach the point that he became beyond saving, then his blessing will be completely revoked, leading to his punishment. A Broken Phantasm-like phenomenon will occur where the sword break completely into little pieces, beyond any possible repair. But most importantly, the physical object breaking will cause the destructive power within to go completely out of control. A huge explosion of pure devastating energy will appear, instantly killing Saber along with most likely anyone unlikely enough to stand near him. An act of self-killing that allows him to die before he fall any further.

    Royd: dont worry, i didnt think of such cases when i wrote the rules, but cant be picky with only a few entrances. A fine addition to your sheet yesterday. But I am not sure about giving him Jewel Eyes from "just converting". And I would tend more towards Lancer than Ruler, but this is a minor qualm. I really like the use of verses to solidify the skills, always a fan of that. I like yesterdays version bit more tbh

    Yeah, I also think Guthrum's 'evil' version was more interesting. This one just feels a bit like an epilogue to it than anything. Tough it's also a well-done sheet. Also the personality kinda make me think of him as Kirei Kotomine: Good Ending.

    Fair enough, I mainly just read the part about Guthrum's eyes altering and couldn't resist going with that interpretation. As for his Class, Jeanne's NPs are a sword and battle-standard, so I don't think qualifying as a Ruler means your NPs/way of fighting have to be specifically "Ruler-y". I thought of making him a Lancer too though at one point.

    Also when reading that Guthrum's army was called the "Great Summer Army" I suddenly got the idea of writing a beach version of him. Do you think that could work? (Wouldn't post it here, though it might also be technically fitting but one Guthrum entry is enough).

    Hey cellphone gang. You'll want to increase screen brightness for this picture.

    Hello there. Consider this a 2.0, a direct continuation of sorts of the first sheet.
    You don't need to read that one to understand this, though. It's the same stuff, just with better wording (I hope) and without the whole COLLAPSE shtick. But that and some quotes being overly familiar is only because she's already an old resident.




    “Hopeless. You’re still so hopeless, like a fledgling fallen out of its nest. W-well, even then that’s not bad, I’d even say it’s a cute characteristic on you. ――Ah, I mean, I said nothing. Nothing at all. Absolutely nothing.”



    Epione

    NOBLE PHANTASM: B







    BOND 1
    CLASS SKILLS





    High Servant: B

    Aceso, Aglaea, Hygeia, Iaso, Meditrina and Panacea. The daughters of Asclepius, also called the Asclepiades, are a part of the whole which makes Epione. (“W-what do you want? My legend isn’t that strong!”, she crosses her arms.)

    However, because of this excessive number of clashing essences, her Rank is reduced from what originally is supposed to be. Even then, the dominant personality is still Epione’s, through and through―she is, after all, a severe matriarch.



    Goddess’ Essence: B

    Because her circumstances are very similar to those of a Pseudo-Servant, the rank is only up to B. It still prevents the figure from changing no matter how much calories are absorbed. (She absolutely insisted on having this effect, if nothing else.)



    Item Construction: A

    Although restricted to the manufacture of healing items, her analgesics have the ultimate performance.

    At this rank, with proper materials, even the creation of a potion of limited immortality is possible. (“Huh? Am I stealing the thunder from that stupid husband of mine?” Good. Great. I fucking hope so.”)



    Riding: A

    As the daughter that looked after the sacred cattle of the sun god Helios back when she lived in the island of Thrinacia, she has a natural affinity with this Skill.



    Territory Creation: A

    The Sanctuary of Asclepius, where he and his family were revered as healing deities, was a major cult site, such as the Sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia or the Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphis.

    Naturally, as his wife, she is able to recreate that imposing atmosphere wherever she decides to go. That being said, she says that’s only possible because she works better when 「inside its walls」 anyway. (The whiteness of a modern doctor’s room is too much for her. Chaldea could still use some stone walls, she muses.)






    BOND 2
    PART I





    Epione, goddess of the soothing of pain.

    If Asclepius is the first physician, then she is the first nurse.

    “Oh, hell no, time! Time! Stop right there. I already have enough to do with that man to hear his cursed name even at my very first bond line. If you truly need to link me to someone, then at least speak of my children―they were all physicians too... And at least they never gave me any trouble, like dying in a ditch for absolutely no reason and leaving their family behind out of nowhere.”


    Her alternative title is 『The Mother of All Tsunderes』.

    But don’t tell her that.






    BOND 3
    PART II





    Height/Weight: 164cm・51kg
    Source: Greek mythology
    Region: Europe
    Alignment: Lawful Neutral
    Gender: Female


    “――I mean, it’s been one year, Master, you know? One whole entire year! I know we were constantly getting attacked, and I’m not demanding no playing-house again, nothing like that... But, do you think I’ve heard a single word of apology? A simple 「I’m sorry I was dumb for not realizing in hindsight that resurrecting people would be a pretty fucking stupid idea」!? No! Nada, nothing. Radio silence. I swear I should’ve got the children and left for my father’s place when I had the chance!”

    Oh yeah, she is still going. Apparently she still has a lot of grievances.

    Her alternate alternative title? 『The Grudgebearer』.






    BOND 4
    PART III





    Her story starts with another name entirely―Lampetia. The small lamp lady, daughter of a secret liaison between the sun god Helios and a nymph, Neiara.

    However, that much is something she learned from stories, since she has no recollection of her mother; Lampetia has, after all, been taken in by her father at a tender age, together with her sister Phaetusa. The reason was that they were tasked to guard their father’s sacred cattle, located in the island of Thrinacia. They watched over 700 animals in total, including sheep, cows, other farm animals and even some divine beast-level beings that were living in peace in that idyllic and uneventful place. Oh, right, did I mention they were young girls watching over these animals all by themselves? Helios was such a good, responsible father. At least, they’ve learned the art of self-sufficiency at an early age thanks to his unorthodox raising methods.

    It would be good if she could have the normal life reserved to the simplest creatures―just tending to the farm, playing in the rain, riding marvelous beasts for fun.


    ――But then he had to come there.

    ―That damn man, Odysseus.

    During his journey to get back to his wife, he ended up stranded on this very island with his men. Since there was no wind to sway their ship towards home, they had no choice but to wait. Of course they knew where they were―Circe, the witch, had warned them about a mysterious island which guarded the sacred cattle of Helios, and they had eyes, after all. So, out of respect for these animals, they didn’t dare to approach the farm... And that made the girls breathe more easily, they, who were so afraid of these strangers at first.

    Of course, both Lampetia and Phaetusa were quite well-informed of the dangers of offering help to Greek men, despite living in isolation from them (hello?! This is basic survival at this point!), so they opted to keep their distance, watching those soldiers starve slowly. And that, they did: at first, they endured magnificently―that, until their rations were depleted. Then, despite the fear of retribution, they were quick to slaughter some of the cattle for consumption. Do you think Odysseus stopped them? As if. He was right there with them.

    Until then, Lampetia had only thought they were taking quite a long time to die already, but when they dared to slay the sacred cattle? That was too much.

    As a good tattle-tale, she informed her father of this small... Pickle. And he was so not happy.

    Zeus listened to a long list of complaints, that’s for sure, and even to some threats for good measure―and perhaps he thought he should solve this problem once for all so he wouldn’t had to stomach a round 2 of this, because his thunders ripped the skies and a torment took out all of Odysseus’ men just like that. Lampetia thought those men would only be driven away from the island, but then this happened... Well, she couldn’t be that sad, at least those were pretty fireworks.

    ―Yeah, who knew the next time she would have a front row to watch this spetacle, it would be way less enjoyable.






    BOND 5
    PART IV




    She grew up and, as all teenagers, decided to go against everything her parents represented. She leaves both the farm and the countryside to try her luck in wider places.

    A fat lot of good that did to her, she met Asclepius somewhere along the way.

    “Look, I have few happy memories of my time with him at this point―and those days are some of them. So, I hope you understand when I say that I won’t even speak of those to not taint them with... You know, everything else.” She motions as if pointing to a landfill. Probably, this is what she considers this entire marriage? These tsunderes, man.

    Anyway, she married the son of Apollo and became Epione. Her changing her name had been an act of shedding away her past to embrace a future as a physician, like him. And she did just that.

    One would never guess she had a life tending to farm animals and watching soldiers blow up before, because she flourished as an amazing nurse under his care. She healed the sick, tended to the downtrodden, comforted the weak. And she watched with amazement Asclepius doing the same, much better than whatever she’d do in an entire lifetime. She loved that part of him... No, she loved everything about him, and she never told him that―probably this was a mistake. Maybe he’d have liked to hear this. Maybe not.

    She thought he was remarkable. She liked to see him so absorbed in his work. She, who always lived with the idea that men were all stupid brutes, met one that never raised his hands to hurt, only to heal. It was a novelty she found charming.

    Then their marriage went on without any accidents and without any cheating (alright, there was that time when he and Hygieia came home with a young boy and she was so livid at the thought that he fathered a child with some bint out there―she was so ready to murder him and then take the children from that house, in this very order, good thing everything was explained), despite this being quite unusual for a Greek couple, but in the end her married life wasn’t something to cause envy on anyone all the same.

    You see, she found out far too late for her own heart that she was the second in his life. That, as much as she loved him, he’d never return her feelings in the same way. After all―he was in love with his job.

    And then, you have it: the natural course (or rather, the absolute mess) of two clashing personalities learning that none of them wants to give in.

    Long shifts away from home made the sweetness of the longing become a distant resentment. His erudite disposition slowly became a reason for aggravation. His tendency of being a man of few and snarky words, something that even made her laugh once upon a time, suddenly became grating, became the source of many fights. The love she once felt, one that she knew could forgive everything as long as it was for his sake, was tested repeatedly and left each battle with more and more scars.


    ――And then, one day, everything ended...

    ―Because of course it would.

    Asclepius loved this life, despite his eventual complaints. He loved being a 「healer」―more than that, a 「scientist.」 It was in his blood, it was his whole destiny.

    And unfortunately, that was a destiny that took him farther and farther from the normal life that was the only thing Epione could offer―instead, it took him directly to the sleazy hands of Athena, drenched his fingers in Gorgon’s blood, pulled at his curiosity as if they were the strings of Artemis’ bow, and finally this all lead him to the cold grip of death.

    The same thunders who once seemed so beautiful to her eyes, now were only a disgraced memory.

    They ripped the skies and gave birth to a new set of stars.

    But stars are blind. They are cold, like the way her suddenly-way-too empty-and-way-too-large bed stayed after that day. And they never talked back to her when she spoke to them.






    BOND 6
    PERSONAL SKILLS





    Familiar (Serpent): A+

    At this Rank, her familiars can be directed by thought alone, without the need for a contract. Furthermore, as long as they had been properly built to withstand this huge (and deadly) responsibility, they can even act as her avatar, taking away the need for her to be physically present in a battlefield.

    Lampetia, her maiden name, was described by a Greek poet as a 「serpent slithering in emerald fields」 when she fled to her father’s side. She had been associated with this motif for a long time. Since for the Greeks, snake venom was thought to be remedial and their skin-shedding was also viewed as a symbol of rebirth and renewal, this would naturally make her an avatar of healing even if she wasn’t one in first place. Perhaps, everything that happened was only the natural course of destiny asserting itself...

    ―Anyway, at some point, perhaps thanks to that person’s assimilation of her myth, or perhaps because since their marriage snakes were always by his side anyway, serpents started to be considered sacred to the followers of Asclepius, and they were always seen on his temple, being very tame with men.



    Child of Light: B+

    While under the sunlight, her attributes will always increase by a great amount. In other words, this is a Skill that crystalizes her birthright, Helios’ solar empowerment.

    If her husband represents the night as the Ophiucus constellation, then it is only natural that Epione would represent the day, as the child of the sun god and the bearer of his sacred light. Even after shedding away her maiden name and her past, those blessings kept flowing in her blood.

    ―It is very unfortunate that she does not like the sun at all, preferring soothing indoors instead, even during battles. “Can you blame me!? It’s hard to be a fan of the heat when you’re always in black”, she objects, crossing her arms yet again. Stop looking at her like that!



    Apollo’s Arts (Healing): EX

    Beyond the field of medicine, reserved for doctors (the treatment of disease through medication, medical procedure and sometimes surgery), Epione, instead, is the best of the best when it comes to the formal expertise of a trained nurse (caring for the sick with knowledge of both holistic and wellness-oriented programs, while also having knowledge of how to diagnose, treat and manage many common ailments.

    “Is this too wordy for you to understand? Think like this... Basically, I can do everything a doctor can do to a patient, except to prescribe remedies for them. Not that this matters in Chaldea, I mean... None of us went to Med school here, but I thought you should know this much.”

    Epione―the one who personifies the soothing of pain―and her five daughters are, in a sense, all facets of the god Apollo’s arts: Panacea is universal health, Hygieia is cleanliness and sanitization, Iaso is recuperation from illness, Aceso is the healing process and Aglaea is the splendor of health. While their father was directly associated with healing, they were associated with the support for the sick beyond that of pure medical diagnosis: in other words, 「nursing.」


    Pankration: C

    She was a beautiful widow in the Greece of the Age of Gods and yet, she didn’t have a single child outside of marriage.

    ―Let’s be honest, this much should give anyone a hint.

    Needless to say, in order to defend herself against that man who killed her husband and then tried to get under her skirts (and others equally deluded who came after him), she had to learn some new tricks, including this one.

    Well, to be honest, she wasn’t such a good student thinking of self-defense alone. After all... How could she slap the everlasting life out of her husband the next time he appeared in front of her with his reckless, nerdy ass if she didn’t know the best way of inflicting pain on someone? But don’t worry, he can heal himself later, right? That’s fine! Good thing she came back as a Servant with enough knowledge in the art to at least gouge out an eye now. It’s truly more than enough for her to deal with her enemies.

    (“Do you think he can heal that...? No? Excellent.” ――AHEM. I said, to deal with enemies.)






    BOND 7
    NOBLE PHANTASM




    “Your limbs are frail and your words are insufficient. And yet, as long as there is the fragrance of a flower or a gust of wind... Reach even higher, towards the sky, and cross the limits that even the gods are unable to. Such is the power of mankind. Such is your power――”


    THRESHOLD OF ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY
    Aigios Asclepeion


    Type: Anti-Army (Self)
    Range: 50m~100m
    Max. number of targets: 30~50



    The miracle of the 「lamp maiden」 who became, through her own effort, the 「soothing goddess.」

    Her skilled hands were rumored to heal all painful ailments, taking away any pain the sick would feel as soon as they step inside of the Temple of Asclepius.

    A Noble Phantasm that replicates the Temple of Asclepius, but instead of deploying a huge Reality Marble that would imitate its interior, she utilizes it in a tinier scale, 「in each and every one ally’s body」, using as catalysis for such a large-scale miracle an old saying that goes like this, 「a healthy body is like a sacred temple.」 Since she is the strongest inside of its walls, in this extreme situation, she can then utilize her best specialty: the 「painkiller.」

    As a goddess who reigns over the sensation of pain, she can take it away as easily as one can imagine. As long as her Noble Phantasm is working, the afflicted (be it herself or any allies) become incapable of feeling pain, allowing them to think clearly and continue to move despite a grievous injury that would normally disable them in any other situation. This includes (but is not limited to) twisted limbs, loss of members, extreme torture, damage to internal organs, and any other sort of crippling injury.

    Furthermore, her range is not limited to the physical sense of injuries, but also extends to other uncomfortable sensations on an ally’s body, such as itching, swelling, fevers or other extreme body temperature alterations―and that, regardless of what is causing that reaction (poison, infection, allergic reaction, or even someone else’s powers.)

    Her powers, as benefic as they sound, are not curing any of the injuries an ally may take while under the effects of this ability―after all, this is a different sort of immunity than the ones granted by Fafnir’s blood or the runic blessings of Baldur―which may disable them without them even knowing why should they take a crippling injury they are unaware of.






    BOND 8
    PERSONALITY




    LIKES
    Things I like...? Let’s see... I like to read (t-the genre is not important, is it?), and I also like to enjoy a warm cup of tea by myself. Speaking like that, it doesn’t sound too interesting, huh? I’m sorry. I guess I just have simple tastes. ―Hmm? That’s not important? Oh, you charmer you, stop that.

    DISLIKES
    Valentine events. I hope you never, ever, ever, put me in one of those, don’t let me get close to them not even as a NPC Support! I swear I’ll hate you for eternity if you do.

    WISH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL
    ―Hey, let a woman keep some secrets, ok? Don’t ask me that again. And do not try to look into my heart either.



    A bona-fide exemplar of tsundere hailed from the Age of Gods. (“I’m NOT that!” Are you guys hearing something?)

    She presents herself with an indifferent front, sometimes even cold, regarding her Master as if they are a particularly annoying patron full of unreasonable requests. She’s constantly sporting a frown and refuses to be seen smiling, associating 「softness」 with 「weakness」―perhaps this is a remnant of her times in the wild? It’s quite difficult to take the farm girl from the girl, you see. But she is indeed capable of gradually showing a warmer and friendlier side to those who deserve such honor... Because she’s a tsundere, of course. (“UGH.”)

    ―In reality, she has an incredible amount of passion inside of her body. She unashamedly shows all of it on her duties and her hobbies, since nothing she does is devoid of heart or good intentions.

    For her, a woman who lived an honest and even simple life under the motto 「all or nothing,」 the love her husband held for her was like an alien concept.

    She, the type of person who is unable to not pour all of her love in whatever strikes her fancy, can’t understand that some people can love two or more things equally, regarding them with the same care, even if they never externalize that love with words or grand gestures. Because of that, in her eyes, she could not see the meaning behind small gestures, and how much they were able to convey. Because of the fact she could only see her failure as a wife, as a woman, as an apprentice, she decided that 「she had been cheated with work.」 She could only silently pray for that person to get a papercut.

    But even after everything, she still loves her job as a healing deity, as a nurse goddess. She loves helping people, loves to see their thankfulness reflected in their eyes――and she even came to understand why Asclepius loved this so much as well. It only adds to her pain, of course, to the difficulty of accepting that, as she suspected, she kind of understands that 「medicine is indeed so much better than her.」 Because of that, currently she’s not being able to work anywhere near the medical bay. It only brings her memories of her failures, unable to conjure any of the good feelings she once felt.

    She understands quite well the depths of her own heart, and absolutely refuses to allow it to contemplate its situation. If she ever allowed herself to shed all the tears she wanted to pour since the beginning of the end, she knows she’d be done as a Servant. She doesn’t have the time to be a maiden.

    ――That’s why she’d only ruffle the Master’s hair and go on, without saying a word. Marching forward, just like she did once, under the light of bitter stars.






    BOND 9
    RELATIONSHIPS




    Odysseus

    Eugh, Master, can we avoid that person for now? ―Well, it's not like I still hold a grudge over what happened in the island of Thrinakia or anything, it's just that... Penelope this, Penelope that... I don't think I'm strong enough to stand that sort of man...


    Chiron

    Oh, dear... You are my husband’s teacher, am I right? Should I call you 「master」 as well, then? So… How’s that person doing? Is he eating properly? He has this tendency of overworking himself, and there are so many Servants in Chaldea, I... ――W-who said I’m worried!? B-because I’m not! Could it be that stupidity is contagious!? You’re just as stupid as him!


    Paris

    Is that...
    Father-in-law
    Father
    !? What are you doing here in this form? ――Ah, wait, wait, I think it’s for the best if you don’t tell me. I don’t want to lose the (few) respect I still have for you...


    Florence Nightingale

    So, you are the rumored Angel of Crimea, the one who defined what a 「nurse」 is for modern humans? Yes... I can see why now... Not too shabby, not too shabby. Maybe there is a lot I could learn from you as well. But, tell me, what do you think about teaching me how to fire those 「firearms」 you wield within your person?


    Murasaki Shikibu

    O-oh...! Good day, Master, how are you? I-if you excuse me, I have to... Ah! What do you mean, what do I have behind my back? N-nothing at all. Ah, maybe you’re sick... Look at you, even seeing things that don’t exist already, you poor thing! B-besides, even if I had something in my possession... Which I clearly don’t... They’re most definitely not sappy romantic books recommended by Miss Murasaki to comfort me!


    Hippocrates
    (KABALISTO KOGA)

    [She blushes.]
    W-what!? Don’t look at me like that! ―I-it’s just that... He was really nice to me. I wasn’t used to being respected anymore... I’m fine already, I can’t show such unsightliness at my descendant, after all. ――Also, Master, If you tell anyone this, you’re dead.


    Joseph II
    (NUCLEAR)

    That man? Oh, he’s such a tiresome bloke. There’s something about him that leaves my skin itching after having to interact with him. That sort of love... I know it too well. It doesn’t never end with 「happily ever after」, that’s for sure.


    Maria Theresa
    (NUCLEAR)

    Phaetusa was quiet and complacent, and my children were very well-behaved (they would have it if they were not) so I can’t really understand how troublesome a sibling or even a child can be. But her face is proof enough that I was on the lucky side in this regard. ―However, let me warn you, Master: that woman’s heart is as black as the night sky. And just as vast, too. Believe me, I know.


    The Pallanides
    (DELREY)

    [Epione makes a face of disgust that only rivals in intensity to the one she makes whenever she thinks of her husband.]


    Guthrum
    (ROYDGOLDEN)

    A king never loses his majesty... Or, in his case, a murderer can never wash their hands from the blood they’ve shed. As a nurse, I am appalled at his atrocities―but as a person, I can respect the desire to turn a new leaf. Peace does suit people like him much better, right? Yes, I agree too.


    Saul
    (ALEXCOENE)

    You know when you can just... Look at someone and see the word 「trouble」 written all over them? W-well, it’s not like I care about you or anything, but―hey, if I was you, I’d not pry too much into that man’s business.


    Telesphorus

    Hmm? What do I think of Telesphorus? ―That’s so sudden, Master, why are you asking this? ―If you say it’s just because you’re curious, fine. I’ll believe in you. Well, he’s... He might not have been born from me, but he’s still my son. I miss him. He... I wished I could’ve told him so much more, before he disappeared like that. Asclepius had left us and then, suddenly, I also had to deal with his death and Machaon’s. ――I truly just wanted to die. I prayed every day for the gods to just take me already. But they didn’t. And I had to live with my grief. It changes us, you know? That amount of pain. ――Well, let’s not speak of these heavy things again, ok? Let my children rest in peace.


    Ascl

    ―Don’t even think about it.






    BOND 10
    CRAFT ESSENCE








    Day 8
    I-it’s not like I miss him or anything, that stupid, bloody bastard, son of a bitch, that absolute―― Ughhh, I won’t think about you! I promised myself that I’d not tire my beauty with that!

    Day 27
    The tea is warm and everything is quiet. And I miss you.
    I hate you for that.

    Day 50
    Hey. I’ve made that thing you used to like. ―I mean, do you even enjoy eating as a Servant? Back in the day, sometimes it felt like you only did things like sleeping and eating because you were still mortal. I don’t know what you like eating now. I could...

    Day 52
    Once again, I couldn’t leave the tray with your night snack by the door. I saw that the light is on, though―of course you’d be on the med bay, working with Chaldea’s medical records.
    I’m sorry, I think I made the coffee too strong―it made my eyes prickle with something hot.

    Day 71
    I’ve learned how to bake perfect macarons and thought of leaving some for you in your office, but... Instead, I gave them all to Master. I hope you get a papercut, stupid!

    Day 112
    Whenever I hear the door opening, a part of me expects you to enter. Even if you only came to ask me for a vial like everything is just fine, even if I’d throw this mug of tea in your face for daring to come near me again... I’d still want that, actually.
    I feel bad for feeling disappointed when I see it’s just our Master.

    Day 139
    I’ve officially given up on trying to leave you some night snacks. I’m sorry I’m this weak... I think you’d be disappointed in me. I mean... Do you still care about me at all to even feel something?

    Day―I dunno what day it is today. I guess I just stopped counting at this point.
    I still can’t enjoy coffee. Too strong for me, it always upsets me whenever I try. But they told me you like that... Of course you do. Idiot.
    ―My tea is still warm, though. And I’m still waiting.






    Author's notes
    Sorry for the dark pallette this time. But you know how they are, these goth girls.
    And here we are, at the end of another sheet!

    Speaking of sheets, I suppose Imma comment on everyone's when the time for voting comes... Since we had so few this round! (But I totally get it, I'm drained from the Secret Santa and from life too.)


    But anyway... Man, I love this character. Whenever someone can give me angst, I'm jumping at that opportunity head first, and she's like an entire fountain of it.
    I won't even talk much about it though, it speaks for itself. I can only hope y'all had as much fun reading this as I had fun revamping.

    See you soon!

    Our Queen graces us with another amazing sheet once again. Skills and NP aside, I admire her character, and how you always managed to capture angst in such a simple yet effective way, different from my own brand of angst. That bond CE is perfect.

    Lore

    A legend in the folklore of Ireland, the man that started the Jack-O’-Lantern tradition, also known as Stingy Jack. A drunkard and gambler in life, his claim to fame is tricking the devil not once, not twice, but three times.

    First was securing a year of freedom from hell with a clever ruse, second was trapping the devil atop a tree while he attempted to gather fruit, and thrice was using the very contract the devil forged to force him to give him a guiding light. However, for his misdeeds and unsavoury character he will never know heaven and his foolishness damns him to an eternity of wandering the earth… or so the story goes.

    As the story goes, Stingy Jack was a drunkard that lived in a sleepy ireland hamlet. He would spend each night drinking the days earnings away. One night, the devil visited the hamlet and chose to drink at the tavern. He recognized the devil for who he was and invited him to drink. After a night of heavy drinking, Jack suggested they swindle the last payment by having the devil turn into a coin and paying with him.

    The devil agreed and turned into a coin, which he then pocketed. In the pocket with satan was a crucifix that prevented him from transforming again. The devil demanded release and Jack demanded a year free of the devil. The devil agreed, was released, and left, bound to the agreement.

    A year and a night later, the devil returned to enact vengeance. Jack strangely accepted the devils wrath. He merely asked for some fruit in a tree, that he might enjoy a last meal. The devil agreed and climbed the tree to poison the apples and feed them to jack. Jack was cleverer though and placed many crucifixs around the tree. Trapped, the devil asked what Jack wanted now.

    Jack proposed a contract; that should Jack die before 10 years, the devil and his minions would not harm or lay claim to his soul nor would they drag him into hell. If he died after that, Jack would silently accept his death and go quietly into hell. The devil was forced to sign the contract or be trapped forever and left thereafter.

    9 years later, his drinking caught up to him and he died at the tavern table. However, heaven forbade him entry for countless sins and consorting with demons and devils. He attempted to parlay with the devil for entry and the devil refused, citing the contract they made. Jack, rereading the contract, pointed out that without someway to be guided through the world that he could not be refused.

    The devil took a particular coal from hell, put it in a turnip pumpkin, and offered it, as the coal would always guide Jack to the safest place at any one time. Eventually, this pumpkin would become his head.

    "Heh... always the trickster and always the winner so long as I'm gamblin'. Wanna test that theory, master?"

    Class Skills

    Presence Concealment: C

    He is entitled to the skill as an Assassin. However his own legend has some interesting anecdotes that point to his elusive nature. For example the devil did not immediately know his location when entering the village, only noting him when he laid eyes on him. Further none knew what his day job was, only noting his existence when he entered the tavern for a drink.

    "I'm considered stealthy? Me? A drunk? Eh, whatever. I ain't gonna argue"

    Personal Skills

    Contract With the Devil: EX

    A powerful dual skill that performs three functions; It guides his actions, it protects him from demons, and it warps his existence akin to a foreigner. Its entire basis is based on both the legend of his lanthorn and his head. The ember of hell. It also acts as a C-rank armament but it is fire-elemental with demonic attributes attached.

    In terms of guidance the coal acts somewhat like Revelations but instead of visions it instead flickers in ways that only Jack-O-Lantern can discern. Seemingly, it reacts purely to his desires and guides him towards fulfilling them. Due to its nature, it renders most illusions and trickery ineffective... though not impossible.

    As for protection it is an absolute defense. Even killing blows and noble phantasms utilized by christian, catholic, or abrahamic demons deal absolutely no damage and are incapable of piercing through. So absolute is it that even those that bend reality or bypass such protections find a stalwart defense blocking them. If a demon from another origin attacks him, their effectiveness is halved out the gate. Similarly, this defense is near impossible to bypass.

    However these defenses and guidance come at a cost. Whoever Jack-O-Lantern was as a human, all that remains are two traits; A proficiency with trickery and deceit as well as a love of spirits. He can be found with a bottle at almost all times, where he acquires it up to the imagination. Everything else of him is twisted into the image of the man turned pumpkin-headed spirit Jack-O-Lantern, even going as far as replacing his head with a comical jack-o-lantern. Even he is unsure of what he was in life, only what he thinks he was.

    Naturally sealing, hindering, weakening, or altering this skill is near impossible.

    "Heh... serv'in me even in death... what a great boon!"

    Tongue of the Devil: A

    A skill similar to Trickster or Charisma but also not quite. It is a skill that denotes his highly deceptive nature. Rather than grant him bonuses to deceiving others he instead gains bonuses to hiding his intentions. When someone attempts to get a read on his nature, intentions, thoughts, or other subjective matters regarding such things they are forced to make a luck check. On a failure they instead receive information he wants them to know or believe.

    Further this skill hides his evasive nature. Any attempts to discern his skills are met with false skills Presence Concealment E, Trickster E, Protection of the Underworld A, and Subversive Tactics D. A luck check can see through this but they must be aware that they are being tricked.

    "Mmmm... I can think of a few uses fer this skill... right, master?"

    Exploiting the Devil: C

    A similar skill to Subversive Tactics but different methodology and result. Rather than focus on armies this skill focuses on targets. Further it results not in a decrease in parameters and skills but a sealing of them and only decreasing if it can't. However unlike Subversive Tactics it has a requirement to activate; He must research the individual and utilize a part of their legend. For example if facing Cu Chulainn he can simply have dog meat and forcefeed it in order to seal one of his skills mid-battle.

    "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Sad, sad, sad... if only you had hid your identity just a mite better mate an' I'd 'ave no answer fer ye. Buuuut I did and now I have this! Behold, dog meat! Your worst weakness!"

    Personality

    Jack O’ Lantern is a drunk through and through. Despite being incapable of inebriation, he will attempt it irregardless. He often orders ridiculous amounts of alcohol for himself during his summons. Unsurprisingly, he is a very deceptive individual, not telling the full truth of any one thing to anyone most of the time. In the rare moments he is, his demeanor varies between being contemplative, philosophical, or depressed.

    Initially, he trusts not even his own master but if his master proves to be accepting and trustworthy, he will divulge the details of his powers and past. Until such a point, he will attempt to make bluffs about his strength or play at being unsure. Once he forms a bond with a master, he will attempt to play the role of mentor to the master, trying to ‘show him the ways of life’. This generally involves large quantities of alcohol and large parties.

    However, he will always try to impart one thing onto such a master, to learn from the mistakes he made in life. Despite the holiday being the cause of the warped legend, Jack O’ Lantern actually quite enjoys halloween. He finds the acts around it extremely entertaining and if summoned near the holiday will strive to participate in any halloween festivities.

    These of course will also involve large quantities of alcohol for which he can drink but cannot get drunk due to his nature as a ghost. His wish for the holy grail is to be allowed to rest in heaven. However if he is forced to use his full noble phantasm, he will attempt to sabotage all of his own attempts at securing the deal.

    "Heh... yeah... what can I say? I'm a hopeless drunk hop'in fer a little rest... can ya blame me?"

    Noble Phantasms

    Na Seifteanna Infamous de Jack-O-Lantern
    Thrice Cheated


    Type: Anti-Unit
    Rank: C+


    The legend of him tricking the devil three times. First he trapped him as a coin, then he trapped him in a tree, and then he forced the devil to guide him through the world after death. Crystallized into this noble phantasm, it is a powerful but somewhat deceptive noble phantasm and only a facet of his true noble phantasm... yet strong enough to stand out on its own.

    Effectively it acts akin to a high-level trickster skill. Any words he speaks are laced with mental interference magecraft and he receives natural bonuses when attempting to secure an agreement. This is merely its passive strength and is always active, only targeting one target at a time. However its strongest use is when its true name is used.

    When utilized it effectively allows him to enforce an agreement as he see's fit. When he does it works exactly like a command spell. While he cannot wholly distort the agreement he can be very liberal with his interpretation. Breaking the compulsion is as difficult as breaking very specific command spells backed by a proper magus.

    "Oh, hello... you wanna fight? That's too bad cause we got an agreement... huh? I looked different? Ahhh don't think like that... even if it were true, that's not part of the agreement, is it?"

    An Pionós Infamous de Jack-O-Lantern
    Thrice Cheated, Thrice Punished


    Type: Anti-Self
    Rank: B+


    The true noble phantasm of Jack-O-Lantern. He tricked the devil thrice and escaped hell. Yet the devil is always craftier than man. All at once his punishment was threefold. He would lose his right to heaven, he would be unable to enter hell and forced to wander the earth, and he would lose his identity to the gift of the devil.

    It cannot be utilized in many ways as passively it acts exactly like the above noble phantasm sans the enforcement, that being relegated to that noble phantasm. Rather this noble phantasm has a single powerful effect when its true name is invoked. An absolute contract between two parties of the holy grail war.

    While he is allowed to be deceptive, the text of the contract is what ultimately matters. It is what will be enforced, not the individual perspectives of the party. Further, once signed both gain a command spell or regain a command spell that may be utilized to enforce the contract at will. Unlike normal command spells, they can instead be partially used to simply notify the other party of a desire to have a term fulfilled or utilized.

    The exact terms can be very broad. Everything from switching servants, switching parameters, and so on. Time limits may be placed, conditions may be set... so long as both mutually sign the contract the terms may be any number of things including a ceasefire between parties. However there is one hidden term that none but he is aware of. His assured defeat at the hands of the enemy.

    While this does not apply to his master, he is guaranteed to lose should he come into conflict with the other party signing. This is enforced by an alteration of fate. No other terms in the contract can overturn this established fate. It can even manifest as him tripping into the armament of his enemy in a fatal way.

    He dislikes utilizing this noble phantasm as it is a massive gamble but for a master he trusts and is confident in he will use it if requested.

    "... tsk... so even that wasn't enough... guess the contract really is absolute... still... I'm glad you signed... cause now my victory is guaranteed... shoulda read the contract closer, ya daft fool... ya really think ya can beat 'im while fight'in on the level of a human?"

    [New fetish unlocked.]
    AHHH THANK YOU REY, you honor me!
    And... I mean... This is not a fetish, please, it's just you having CULTURE. /n




    And since I'm here and I have some time, might as well review these amazing entries.


    Joseph II: I think you did an amazing job on him. Like, I was thorougly enjoying the experience. (And even had a chuckle at the "weight" quote. I love when Servants do that.) His skills are cool and his personality? Immaculate. This is the kind of twisted love that I enjoy in my fiction, especially when it comes from a ruler. It's nice and even amusing to see that he has such good intentions, but they are conveyed in the most twisted way. And then you even take your time to set up a double act? You're spoiling us rotten here.

    Maria Theresa: THE STAR OF THE SHOW. I love characters like her - something that appears to be a thing at first, but when you squint real hard, it's really waaay different. I'll echo the comment on her Archer justification, it was such an ingenuous idea! And I can feel a lot of heaviness on her character, like, she's truly something that you shouldn't underestimate. Really, I'll even say that reading these two sheets back to back enhanced the entire experience, it made them feel much more complete as two halves of a whole.

    The Pallanides: Like, ARE YOU FOR REAL? You're always trying to prove us that you could win your own contest and every time you're so ready to do just that. Look at this Servant, I mean, HELLO?? What an amazing adition to the Gatekeeper family! I absolutely loved everything about these horrible best girls, the way they all represent a facet of a kingly rule, the way Nike keeps them all under her thumb in such a eerie way... Actually, this is the best word I could find to resume this sheet: it was so eerie. In an extremely good way. I loved it.

    Guthrum: MY HEART. ROYD. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME. Reading his "dark" version and then coming here to read his "light" one is... An experience and a half, I'll say that much. I still think I loved both equally, I dunno, there's something about a character becoming an atoner that just speaks to me. And as always, you blow my mind with how well you can convey a Servant's story in their skills and Noble Phantasm instead of using a lore section like most do. I could NEVER.

    Saul: What an interesting character you choose, and the way you portrayed him was also so... There's something really cool in this sheet, I can't put my finger on what's it, but I know it's there. I was so expecting a mild mannered-ish man (I BLAME THIS FC) that I was taken aback by that darkness lurking underneath. What a great surprise.

    "Stingy Jack": LIKE, WOW. I wish I could come back in time and read this sheet for the first time again just to be that surprised all over again, I'll just say this much.

    I

    My works, no my whole craft was made to alleviate the daily pains of humanity. It relieves me as much as them. But I was stubborn.
    I was small.
    I was insignificant.
    I was immaterial.
    I sold my soul to the wrong god.
    But to complete my praise for that god, I found my way to another.
    Who to choose? The people of now and tomorrow or the whole human race?

    Caster is able to let the audience hear any instrument, but they are never seen. Using the power of Amdusias he can trap music created from his magecraft in a pocket of mana and air and release the sound at will.

    Grand Order B
    The mark of a Beast, signifying one’s status as an Enemy of Human Order. A curse embedded into the Magic Crest of seventy-two magus families by a being claiming to be King Solomon. It ensures that when their assigned time arrives, one of the seventy-two Demon God Pillars will take over their descendant’s body and carry out their plan of the Incineration of the Human Order. Caster carries in his Magic Crest the mark of the Demon God Amdusias, and was chosen as the host upon which Amdusias will execute Goetia’s Grand Order.

    Leck mich im Arsch EX
    Replaces the Skill Eine kleine Nachtmusik and Angel's Melody. The influence of Amdusias makes him ignorant of everything else. A sort of Hedonism that blocks out any other music not from him or Amdusias. A skill that represents his Music Magecraft that lost it's way and only plays to satisfy himself. He outperforms opponent's chants or music magecraft and reaps some of their rewards while also lowering their output.

    Protection of the Music Demon EX
    The capacity to recognize and identify any and all sorts of sound, and it makes it possible to perform a prodigious musical performance. In addition, it also grants a plus correction on the usage of musical magic. Caster is able to display this Skill and effect equals to it with his own ability by means of his natural pitch sense, talent, and effort, but it was further elevated through the powers of Amdusias. His music lowers the Luck and the Resistance against Curses of opponents.

    "My swan song. Your parting song. History's coda.
    Praise Solomon for allowing humanity to hear my completed masterpiece."


    Lacrimosa
    Tearful Funeral March for the Incinerated Race


    Full of tears will be that day
    Lacrimosa dies illa

    When from the ashes shall arise
    Qua resurget ex favilla

    The guilty man to be judged;
    Judicandus homo reus.

    Therefore spare him, O God,
    Huic ergo parce, Deus:

    Merciful King Solomon
    Pie Salome Rex,

    Grant them eternal rest. Amen.
    Dona eis requiem. Amen.


    The last work of Mozart was Requiem. Commissioned by a mysterious figure, rumored to be the Grim Reaper himself, it was left unfinished by Caster's passing in December 1791. But this version was different. Caster was desperate and finally agreed to become the host of Amdusias for just a little more time to finish his work.

    The part unfinished was called Lacrimosa, part of the famous Dies Irae Sequence. This Mozart finished it, but it was tainted by the influence of the Demon Pillar Amdusias who uses this opportunity to leave a song. A Funeral March for Humanity, the race that will be erased once King Solomon is successful with his plan.

    A melody that dooms the human race with death. Dark demonic apparitions dance across the tainted sky on fleshy unicorn-like creatures and music echoes through the heavens but no instruments can be seen. Burning sheets of music rain from the clouds and herald the approaching sudden end of humanity's song. Listeners have to realize a Luck and Mana Check. If they lose they are cursed to be incinerated. A condition that sets fire to the Spiritual Core, lowering their physical parameter by two, and slowly turns their bodies into cinders.
    Caster will stand among the charring bodies tinting the sky in fiery red with a content smile on his face and tears running from his eyes.

    One of the greatest musicians history has ever seen. Mozart Alter has fallen from grace. A What-If variant of the Viennese composer that belongs to the seventy-two magus families. In Panhuman History the man resisted the Demon Amdusias, saying he sold his soul to music. This variant did too, but at a different cost. When he received the ominous request at the end of his life, he struggled and fought to stay alive just to complete it. To finish the work he agreed to the Demon to lend him more time. The man still died that day.
    But Wolfgang Amdusias Mozart rose from his ashes and finished the work for him. Requiem did not become his own Funeral March. It became ours.

    "The deal was an easy one, my dear. The cost? The cost was the Inevitable. The inevitable is not a price I pay, it is the end that comes to all. To us dirty little specks in this sullied world."

    "The pain of others? Why should I care? It is hardly unique. What is special about suffering when everybody suffers on their own in some way? Only the pain you experience is the pain that exists in your world. Live only for yourself without discomfort and the world is free of it.
    My selfish wish makes this a reality. Is it not what you heroes strive to achieve? Why the antagonism?"


    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
    "Ah my little me, my naive me, my weak me. You struggled, deep in your heart, you wondered for whom you played. You claimed for yourself, but deep down you wished for them to enjoy it too. Cast it aside, join me and we let the world burn in anticipation of what we always wanted to achieve."

    Marie Antoinette (Alter):
    "Fufu, thats more like it."

    Voyager-1:
    "You will remain the only intact musical piece by the species known as 'Humanity'. Launched into space upon a flimsy satellite the day humans realized their race is destined to perish one day. Like an eternal funeral dirge for a dying race, you will travel further away from your cradle, away from destruction.
    Little boy, you will be a testament to the beauty and tragedy that the Humans were so supremely capable of. May their achievements and their downfall serve as a warning for the universe."

    Nacht ohne Musik

    "A Night without Music. That is what you are. Boring, soulless and quite frankly your version of Lacrimosa is pretty amateurish compared to what I had in mind."
    "Fufu, sure whatever you say. It is hard to take you seriously when you smell like a Rostbratwurst. Any last words before you flicker away, little me?"
    "Two things. Leck mich im Arsch, tyrant.
    And Da-da-da-dum...da-da-da-dum...hahahaha."


    Caster could have sworn he heard his laugh even after he returned to the Throne.
    Beyond the ash-filled horizon, he could hear a pompous melody. The tyrant may get a visitor.

    A quick idea I had. Because i have the goal to make an artist of each Class, I thought I still need a Caster and I wanted to use the demon pillars as well Easiest way out was to use actual canon and the few fanarts that depict Mozart as tainted and voila.
    Leck mich im Arsch means "lick my butt". Yes he wrote that piece to insult someone. That is why he loves dirty humor in FGO. Lick his butt nice and clean, quickly, quickly, quickly.
