Parameters:
STR: C, CON: C, AGI: A
MAG: B, LUK: B, PHA: C
Class Skills:
Independent Action: A
The ability to act independently for a period even when the mana supply from the Master is severed.
At A-rank, it’s possible to act completely independent of the Master barring extreme magical-energy usage or Noble Phantasm deployment for about a week.
Jack wishes to freely play on the beach as much as she wants, after all.
Magic Resistance: D
A form of protection against magic which nullifies all D-rank (or below) spells; that, due to Jack’s nature as a wraith, does not extend the same amount to holy rituals such as church sacraments.
About the same resistance as an enchanted amulet that rejects magical energy.
Personal Skills:
Beach Paralysis: EX
“Why is this child wearing such skimpy clothes!? Unacceptable. Bring me a towel at once.”
The attention-grabbing summer-time skill created from Jack the Ripper’s current choice of outfit.
It garners her stunned looks of perplexity whilst on the beach, but, in actuality, she doesn’t seem to mind.
All attention is good attention in the end. If it is to gain an advantage at this year’s event, nothing is denied.
Right?
Murderer on the Shimmering Shoreline: A
So long as she remains concealed by the shade, buried in the sand or hidden within the treeline; Jack the Ripper always performs her signature surprise attack, no matter what.
Just perfect for ambushing opponents at the most unexpected moments in order to win!
Actually, it’s simply the beach-side variant of the
[Murderer of the Misty Night] skill.
Tube Support: D
A lovely flotation device that Jack the Ripper wears whilst swimming in the sea.
Given to her by Atalanta, it protects her against any unwanted plunges in the deep water when playing around roughly with friends, by preventing her from falling out or flipping over.
However, the girl constantly claims to use it only for show; though she never seems to take it off; even when she’s in the pool alone.
Does that mean she actually –– ?
Noble Phantasms:
Concealing Shot Within The Fog
Unobservable Killing
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Team
Range: 1-50
Maximum Number of Targets: 10
Unobservable Killing.
After sighting an opponent during the splash-summer showdown, Jack the Ripper sets free her inhibitions, pours copious amounts of mist into her water-pistol, and then ––
Afterwards, fires an incredible shot of dense vapours and various liquids towards the end of the beach!
Bombarding the opponent, an incredibly damaging explosion of sulphuric acid, in summer terms.
Suitable for concealing her position or separating the enemy team as well!
Might be considered cheating though...
Originally, Jack the Ripper’s second Noble Phantasm;
[The Mist].
(Summer Version).
Personage:
First Pronoun: watashitachi
Second Pronoun: ano hito/anata
Third Pronoun: aitsu
Nature:
Having finally reached the beachside, Jack the Ripper’s spirit was raised much higher.
Her demented-side toned itself down, she became much more friendly to others, and overall; due to the influence of her newfound companions in Nursery Rhyme and Atalanta, she even started showcasing a bit more self-restraint by separating from her psychotic desires when angered.
In other words, all that remains is the childish-side she couldn’t display back when she was truly alive.
One bursting with more energy than ever before, always raring to go at a moment’s notice and who honestly tries her best in making close friends or acquaintances amongst her fellow Servants.
Really, a happy-go-lucky girl compared to her other-self, so to speak.
Tempered by the summer sun; she fully understands the need to unwind from her own inhibitions.
There’s no need to commit murders anymore. There’s no reason to pull such horrid crimes.
Why should she bother when she could be playing some marvellous games at the seaside with her wonderful friends instead!
Still, there are times when her hidden mischievousness makes itself apparent too.
Especially during the splash-summer showdown, where it seems she resorts to using any means to win.
Pranking, ambushing or even just outright unfair cheating; Jack the Ripper tries every tactic in the book and then some. In that regard, who could fault her?
Desperately seeking to make her dream into reality, she’s really just trying her hardest, honestly!
All she wants is the Master –– Mother –– to be by her side, even for but a fleeting moment.
If it can come true; she’d be content to continue down the path to redemption at last.
After all, the Jack the Ripper that came before didn’t understand what it meant to be human.
It was in the end, just a bunch of wraiths mimicking a similar existence to one.
No desire for companionship, no dreams of living free; simply a child who only wanted to return to the womb.
To be reborn. To be human. Jack the Ripper; whose mind was twisted by the grudges of 80, 000 aborted children thought that by doing that, she could achieve true humanity. She couldn’t understand any other reason.
In that regard, it could then be said that this particular Jack the Ripper has changed drastically.
As long as she laughs with her friends and enjoys herself to the fullest, she can live without regret.
A side that is able to reveal itself by the simple fact that she can trust her teammates to help her win.
Jack the Ripper, who once fought alone and never really trusted anyone else believes in that companionship now. Being truly reformed, even just a little bit, might just mean she can surely win her ultimate wish.
That’s all.
Motives and Attitudes Towards Master:
Because she’s a variant of Jack already familiar with the Master, her attitude is mostly the same as before.
She still fancies them as being her mother and desires that they act in the exact manner in regards to that.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong there but, usually in the case of her old self, it would have led to disaster.
On the other hand, however, since this version can freely relax at the beach and was tempered by the friendship she developed with both Nursery Rhyme and Atalanta; her more deranged-side of wishing to be in the womb stopped existing.
Instead, she’s now more focused on having a good time at the beach; while still desiring to win the grand prize in this year’s splash-summer showdown of a whole day alone with the Master, no matter what.
After all, she considers now the best time to show off the few new skills she's developed over the long journey she’s been on with Chaldea, since the perfect opportunity has finally come around.
Thus, without the mental-pollution she once possessed, there’s no longer any risk one has to take involving her.
A genuine bond between mother and child might be able to develop due to this.
Of course, her dark-side does still come out if she feels threatened by the competition...
Lucky that Atalanta or Nursery Rhyme can be called upon to help sort out that particular problem then.
Dialogue Examples:
[Summoned]: You finally summoned us in this form, Mommy! Let’s head to the beach quick.
We wanna play a game with everyone!
[Likes]: Nice things? It’s you, Mommy! Nursery Rhyme and Atalanta as well!
We all love you and them so much!
[Dislikes]: Bad things? Mmm...our past probably. We were very naughty then.
[The Holy Grail]: A wish on the Holy Grail? Let’s see...
We would like to continue our games with Mommy forever! That’ll be enough for us.
[Birthday]: It’s the day you were born, right Mommy? You should be happy.
To be alive is a miracle beyond all other things. Cherish that you were born out of everyone who could have been instead. Someone told us that, once. So, congratulations. We are truly happy.
[Event]: Something else is going on out there? Not fair! It’s our day to spend time with Mommy now!
[Bond Level 1]: Is it time to go to the beach now, Mommy? We’re bored.
[Bond Level 2]: We’ve been practising our moves for the team contest so much, Mommy!
We’ll make you proud of us and win the whole thing! Let’s go, let’s go!
We don’t have any time to waste!
[Bond Level 3]: Nursery Rhyme didn’t want to enter the competition with us, but that doesn’t matter.
Our teammates are surely gonna help us win. Without question! So long as Nursery Rhyme cheers us on from the sidelines, we’re happy!
[Bond Level 4]: Compared to London, the sun shines so much here! Can we stay forever, Mommy?
There’s no reason for us to go back home is there? Please, please, Mommy!
So much to do, so much to see! We’ll keep on going!
[Bond Level 5]: Have you ever regretted that you were born? Don’t be.
Never think of anything like that, Mommy. All life is wonderful. To live is to be alive. It’s truly a miracle.
Trust us. We know better now. Let’s enjoy a delightful day at the beach.
Together.
[Noble Phantasm]: In order to win, we’ll do anything. To get that prize, we’ll even cheat!
No-one can see us coming, Mommy! That’s the power of our concealed shots!
Unobservable Killing!
Relationships:
[Charles Babbage]: Mr. B was really nice to us and let us borrow his modified water-pistol for the competition because we’re on the same team. We’ll put it to good use, so don’t worry Mr. B! The enemy side will get trounced by us!
[Nursery Rhyme]: We want to spend some time with Nursery Rhyme after the competition is over.
She says we can have a tea party on the beach with lots of sweets and candy! Does Mommy want to join us?
You can, you can! Nursery Rhyme said it was no trouble. Illya and her friends can join in too!
A wonderful children’s party is about to begin!
[Atalanta]: Atalanta helped us out lots, Mommy. With her on the team, there’s no way we can lose.
That bow of hers is truly amazing, now that it isn’t aimed at us! Hahaha!
She’s such a good friend. Yep.
Historical Depiction:
The most notorious serial killer in history.
During the late 19th century, he (she) was a figure that rose to quick fame after killing a multitude of women all within the same district of London and then escaping without so much as a whisper or scrap of evidence being left behind. His (her) True Name was unknown, so around the world, his (her) cruel acts which horrified the people led to the nickname
[Jack the Ripper].
A most vile and horrible evil beyond others.
But one question people always asked about him (her) was, why? Why did Jack commit such horrid crimes?
It's a common occurrence for humans with power like Gilles de Rais and Elizabeth Bathory to go insane and carry out inhumane actions of course, but Jack the Ripper was completely different.
A first in every aspect. His (her) targets were simply prostitutes from nowhere where there was no money and there was no reason to believe he (she) did it for their bodies, so again, what was the reason?
All he (she) left behind was a gruesomely bloody scene that seemed to scream; [I just want to destroy a human body]. No clues nor witness, just an unidentified serial killer.
Was Jack the Ripper really that sort of existence?
It seems that this is indeed the case within this work.
However, this is a differing version of that person.
In-Universe Depiction:
The summer version of Jack the Ripper. Another side to that same serial-killer.
Having realized her true potential under the Chaldea Organisation, a foreign existence dissimilar in nature.
Not only not a cruel murderer or a deranged child; but a true Servant that was instrumental in saving the world.
Thanks to the help of Atalanta and the passionate friendship developed with Nursery Rhyme; a Jack the Ripper that truthfully changed, slowly but surely.
Life is fun. Friends are fun. She came to believe in these things wholeheartedly and now showcases an excellent increase in morality through her own actions.
At the beach, she can play as much as she wants. She may have as many friends as she likes.
It doesn’t matter if it’s volleyball, surfing, summer-camping or anything else; all the games are she participates in are great. Naturally, this includes this year’s splash-summer showdown as well.
It’s time to sit back and have fun, honest.
But, the prize for the splash-summer showdown was a day with the Master alone.
Without interference from others. Jack the Ripper was the sort of someone who wanted that.
Therefore, it was obvious she’d take part, even if it meant giving in to dirty tricks or pure cheating.
The Master was the first person to accept her for who she was, in the end. A Master who didn’t use her to take revenge on others, just because. For that, there was no question as to why she desired deeply to obtain first place above everyone else.
No-one else but her would obtain that prize, so to say.
Standing alone at the end, there couldn’t be anyone else not on her team.
Jack the Ripper, teaming up with Charles Babbage and Atalanta, desired only for that, this time around.

Creator Notes:
I’m back at last I suppose.
Been a while though as I needed to take a break from writing Sheets due to burnout and not really liking the last couple I’ve done over on the Spacebattles Crossover Servants Thread.
Kind of felt they weren’t up to the standards of my Princess Peach Sheet to be honest.
As such, I took a step back, looked at what did/didn’t work and hopefully have a better understanding overall.
Funny then, that the first Sheet I post since that time is a crack Sheet!
One that was (in fact), actually written over a few weeks prior to the summer event reveal in FGO.
Pure coincidence that I managed to get it out at around the same time, really.
Still, if this character gets an official summer Sheet, I’ll crack up a little.
I mean, it’s not like we couldn’t get her. She’s appeared in several swimsuit Craft Essences and is apparently part of the Chaldea Lifeguard Squad as well. Even then, we have a Helena Blavatsky (Summer) Sheet so this idea isn’t too off the tables.
Huh? Who am I talking about?
Well, it’s Jack the Ripper, of course.
Despite not being fond of Fate/Apocrypha at all, she’s always been one of my favourite Servants (my favourite Assassin, natch) so the inspiration for a swimsuit version came easy.
What wasn’t easy though was the actual theme. I ended up going through a summer camp idea, and a Berserker idea before settling on the Archer Class for a water-pistol fight theme.
Then, it was just a matter of the skills and backstory, which were fairly simple in comparison.
A beach skill, a summer variant skill, a crack skill and then some crackish fluff was all it took.
Hey presto, it was done!
However, there’s no doubt that not everyone will like this Sheet, naturally.
Some of you will probably find it exceedingly weird, especially given the faceclaim up there (sorry Spacebattlers, just ignore this) but it was for a good laugh is all.
Crack sheets are supposed to be like this, so don’t take it too seriously.
Hope you do find it funny, regardless. Let me know!
