Noble Phantasm - B+
Appearance:
It's a Kiritsugu face not a psuedoservant sorry
Personality: A man with a stern but troubled demeanor, though he occasionally tries to put on a show of strictness he will often begin to break down into a state of silent woe or grief. In this incarnation his conscience is troubled, aptly described as "a sinner, not only against the moral fashion of the time, but against his own vision of decent conduct". His faith in others or humanity is abysmal, seeing everyone else as merely lying in order to survive in this world. Rather than being a well-rounded person when summoned as a Berserker he is lost and merely wishes for the world to disappear as if it was an illusion all along. Despite this he is still a very religious man and in following his moral code attempts to help others when possible, even if he sees no hope of heaven for himself who he casts down on a nigh-constant basis. His wish for the grail is likely a future of truth where all live with God's righteousness.
Likes: Tending to his land, his family, God's icy wind
Dislikes: Delusion, Mobs, Humanity
Talent: Tenacity
Natural Enemies: Abigail Williams, Liars
Class Skills:
Madness Enhancement (C)- When activated Berserker will be robbed of most of his abilities to reason but in exchange gains a rank up to C and C+ in Strength and Mana respectively, in addition his alignment descends towards Lawful Evil. Berserker does not attempt to engage in conversation with those he meets, but those who try to talk to him will only receive his various pessimistic interpretations of the world in return. Either he will discuss his own lack of faith for his wife (although he does not discuss specifics) or make a series of angry comments about how the authorities of the world have turned away from god and that "The children are jangling the keys to the kingdom".
Personal Skills:
Innocent Monster (D+)- This skill is merely what remains of the rumors that surrounded Berserker when he was tried. Due to the accusations making him out to be an agent of hell he is granted this skill, but it is far weaker as almost none of these rumors are believed in the modern day, though if he was (somehow) summoned during the Witch Trials he would have an A+ rank in this skill. As such it makes those who look at him get the impression he is not entirely there, while also giving the distinct impression that he is an ambassador of dark powers rather than a Servant, though it is not entirely difficult to resist this suggestion.
Human Observation (C+) - Berserker has a skilled understanding of certain aspects of human behaviour, as such even while under the effects of Madness Enhancement he is capable of predicting certain people's actions at the time. His understanding of them is limited however by his own personal experiences and as such it is less useful against those who lived in the modern age or in a society very different from his own. He seems to be especially good at seeing through lies and the actions of those who lie to manipulate others.
Protection of the Faith (D) - This ability, though a form of Divine Protection, is not a blessing from a higher existence but instead an absoluteness of one's body and soul. Berserker possesses it at a low rank due to him turning away from God, but his moral code is so intertwined with his beliefs that he still gains some of the benefits of this skill.
Noble Phantasms:
Them That Quail to Bring Men Out of Ignorance-
When you know in all your black hearts that this be fraud (D, Anti-Mind): As Berserker was one who lived during the Salem witch trials while rejecting the lies and rumor based legality of the time. His attempt to reveal the fraud the trials were based on was turned against him. Berserker eventually decided that it was impossible to fight against the trials as deep down the participants knew they were lying to themselves and others. Much like
All the World's Evils that are manifested as a black mud by the grail, Berserker produces a substance referred to as
The Waters of Salem. This naturally seeps from his body into the surrounding environment and is practically impossible for anyone except those with the closest ties to the planet to realise the abnormality that is occurring. It will naturally be attracted to water and travels either in the form of a gas or a liquid. The effect that it evokes on human beings is to change their personality and perceptions of the world, they become more and more convinced that they are truly right and just in their actions, beginning to imagine existential threats (generally of the demonic variety) that become confirmed through their now warped perceptions. Though this is less effective against Servants constant exposure will produce similar effects to those normally exhibited on humans.
I say God is Dead-
You are pulling heaven down and raising up a whore! (B+, Anti-Army): As the
Waters of Salem has a limited effect on Servants but a stronger one on normal humans it becomes a Noble Phantasm capable of wiping away all Mages in the surrounding area. Mages who encounter
the Waters of Salem will have the power of it infuse and empower them. Mages will reach greater and greater levels of power, their Mana supplies will become almost inexhaustible and they will find the use of more complex Thaumaturgy second nature. They will eventually seem to be all powerful demons to the ordinary humans, although this will not actually make them all powerful they will become power houses and, considering the mental dispositions of Mages affected by
the Waters of Salem this will lead to chaos in the surrounding area. However this power is finite and comes at a severe cost, after a few days or even a matter of hours of intense usage the Mage will suffer a most awful death. Their body is lit aflame in an unavoidable conflagration, others will be harmed and the Mage cannot avoid death at this point, their own Magecraft is turned against them (much like the fighting style of another with similar appearance to Proctor...) and they will remain as nothing more than a dried up corpse, mysteriously hung by unknown energies.

Hopefully this is a good enough contribution for the Berserker class
. This is obviously more based on the literary Proctor than the historical Proctor (who is still pretty interesting). Although the second Noble Phantasm suffers from being similar to practically any and all transformation NPs (including my awful Tam O Shanter sheet) I thought it would work well with a Berserker interpretation of Proctor. Sorry to have wasted the time of anyone who read this but any feedback would be appreciated thank you for your time and effort.
