Create-A-Servant 2

[Bird of Hermes]

The stars were right, so lewd FC it was. A lunar eclipse is close enough, right?
As for making her actually!Plotina, that was something I considered, but rejected the idea for much the same reason as you brought up.

From one subject to another, I was reading my big ol' list of sheets and started to consider which ones were my favourites.
That got me curious about the rest of you, so: Which of your Servant sheets are your personal favourites?
I suppose the question might be expanded to different categories (most interesting, best in terms of mechanics, best personality...) if you can't decide on a single one.

I've marked all my faves that I've done in green on my servant master post. But ones that I really liked and seemed to go down with everybody in terms of personality and mechanics would be my three main Uther's (Lily, Berserker and Caster Alter) and Æthelflæd who got the praised comment "if she was canon, there would be a lot of porn about her"

Another one of mine that stick's out to me is my second version of Elizabeth Tudor

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Perhaps "laid-back" wasn't the word I was looking for. "Warm and informal" would have been a better description, and the elegant leader of the Tohsaka can't allow himself to behave like that in public

True. I do think any hero with a strong conflict between their outward behavior and inner feelings would be a good match.

[Shiki-pon]

One supposes that since Pseudo-Servants are often vehicles for stuff that couldn't manifest in a regular fashion, divine entities should also be considered for the Tokiomi Pseudo-Servant. If we're working from that, I suppose Pluto or Lucifer might go for a 'man of wealth and taste' like Tokiomi is. The latter's even got a connection with fire.

Pluto or Hades I get because there's the whole outward cruelty vs inner kindness thing, but Lucifer is a little too prideful. As for other divine entities, what about Anu, since the Ishtar Pseudo-Servant possessed Rin, why not have Tokiomi and Ishtar's father pair up?

[King of Padoru]

Changing the topic a little, we can agree that Kunti would be a fitting candidate for an Aoi Pseudo-Servant, right? Both had the talent to, in some way or another, give birth to super-babies

Yeah, and both were passive actors in their own lives. Draupadi would be equally good for that purpose IMO.

Background:

Spoiler:

Born Hosokawa Tama, the woman who would later be christened Hosokawa Gracia was the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, the general who would go on to betray his lord Oda Nobunaga at Honnou-ji. Early in her life, Tama was wed to a samurai, Hosokawa Tadaoki, a retainer of Nobunaga. Their marriage had been difficult - Tadaoki was a jealous, violent man and the couple lived an uneasy, quarrelsome but politically advantageous life together on Tadaoki’s bestowed land.

On one occasion, he cut down a vassal for merely looking too long at his teenage wife, and cleaned the blood off his blade on her kimono sleeve. In response to this ogreish behavior, rather than yell or argue, Tama reportedly wore the bloodsoaked kimono for almost a week until Tadaoki finally begrudgingly relented and apologized.

However, with Mitsuhide’s betrayal, Tama suddenly became little more than a traitor’s daughter, her reputation and value in tatters. Her husband stayed loyal, refusing to help Mitsuhide and assisting in his defeat, but rather than divorce his beautiful young wife, he had her cloistered and confined in the clan’s mansion in Hosokawa, forbidden to leave. Her fetters tightened, Tama became an avid reader, fluent in Latin and Portuguese, ultimately becoming a follower of Christianity through smuggled books brought to her by her maidservants and overheard conversations between her husband and a Christian friend.

By far her favorite book was a treatise by one Thomas à Kempis, the Imitation of Christ, a Latin handbook arguing that devotion was best achieved not by imitating Christ actively, but by withdrawing from the world and emphasizing one’s internal, spiritual life - that an undisturbed conscience and enlightenment lie not in the affairs of the world, but in solitude and silence, a perspective Gracia had lacked her entire life as a political tool for marriage. Enamored with the controversial foreign religion, she would sneak out to visit the local church in Osawa, and upon discovering Christianity was to be banned by Toyotomi, she resolved to become baptized immediately, newly christened “Hosokawa Gracia”.

Following a reversal in her husband’s fortunes when Toyotomi died and Japan again became mired in unstable conflict, Gracia’s estate was among those under siege by the forces of Ishida Mitsunari, who led a large army to Osaka with the aim of taking hostage the family members of Hideyoshi’s generals to secure their allegiance.

...Or that was the plan. Rather than have their lord’s wife be taken hostage, Tadaoki’s vassals executed her, then themselves, setting fire to the Hosokawa mansion in the process and burning it to the ground. Stories differ on the cause - some say Tadaoki had instructed his vassals to do so against Gracia’s wishes while some state Gracia herself ordered her own execution to preserve her family’s honor, a charge that the Jesuits in Osaka denied vehemently, having previously counseled her that suicide would be a grave sin.

Some even stated that Gracia anticipated her own demise, and merely prayed in peaceful contemplation, waiting for the end and serenely unconcerned for her own fate. Whatever the reason, Gracia’s sacrifice sparked a wave of outrage, forcing Ishida to abandon his plan and marshalling others against him.

An irregular Saver who neither led nor personally delivered salvation to others. In death, she won the faith and support of many, indirectly helping to usher in the Tokugawa shogunate and becoming known as a paragon of Christian values in Japan. As an improper Saver, she is quick to acknowledge she was merely an enthusiastic acolyte who never reached the truth of mankind’s salvation, but this time...

Personality:

Spoiler:

Pleasant and well-mannered, Saver is gentle and disarming, bringing to mind a soft-spoken housewife more than a would-be saint or savior of mankind. She is humble, earnestly admitting to her inexperience and inadequacies, acknowledging that she accomplished little in life beyond reading and fostering a rich internal life. Friends, hobbies, vacations, these things were never an option for her, and she acknowledges such with a relaxed smile that implicitly encourages others to tell her all about them.

While she rarely proselytizes, she enjoys discussing theology and expressing her views on the subject, one of the few things she read enough to speak at great length on. In most other topics, she is quiet, letting others control the flow of conversation. Attentive, graceful, and charismatic, while never projecting her own thoughts or preferences on others, Saver is the very definition of a non-judgmental “great listener.”

While an elegant and cultured young woman, Saver can be surprisingly stubborn and petulant at times, refusing to budge from a position when her mind is made up, even to the point of absurdity or great personal inconvenience, rejecting any counsel or alternatives.

Class Abilities:
Counter Hero
Rank: C
A skill that unconditionally reduces the parameters of any hero encountered. At this rank, it reduces all of the opponent’s parameters by one rank. This skill is weaker against anti-heroes, reducing only their highest three parameters by one rank.

Charisma
Rank: B
A composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. A rare talent, and an ability inherent to Servants of the Saver class. This rank is sufficient to lead or influence a nation. The morale and loyalty of military forces Saver supports are extremely high.

Personal Skills:
Protection of the Faith
Rank: A+++
A Skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is the absoluteness of one’s body and mind that was born from their beliefs. But if it is too high, it causes abnormalities in the personality. As an avid follower of Kempis’ Imitation of Christ, Saver holds her body and mind firm against intrusion and outside forces, relying on the blessed sacraments or the Lord.

Single-Mindedness
Rank: B
The ability to immerse oneself in something, exhibiting a superhuman degree of focus. In Gracia’s case, this skill manifests in prayer, reading, or when lost in thought, permitting Saver to focus so completely on the object of her thoughts that her mana consumption becomes nearly zero.

Noble Phantasm(s):
Salvator Mundi - A World of Salvation and Happiness in Oneself
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
A Noble Phantasm crystallizing the faith of Hosokawa Gracia, a woman whose virtue and willingness to risk great danger to adopt the Christian faith made her a candidate for canonization despite never achieving a single notable feat or accomplishment of merit outside of her own death by external forces. Lacking a basis for any active Noble Phantasm, Saver manifested instead with her faith and wishes refined into a passive Noble Phantasm that embraces her temporary life as a Servant.

Salvator Mundi is the embodiment of Gracia's belief in Christianity, her vision that salvation lay in the next world, and that the divine may be reached through internal reflection. In effect, upon the destruction of Saver's spiritual core, a deceptively simple blessing is enacted - inscribing upon her soul the promise that in death, she will achieve salvation and find happiness, and that a perfect world awaits. As a Heroic Spirit, in most cases, Saver will simply return to the throne, the promise unspent.

...However.

Should her soul be contained somewhere, stopped from returning to the Throne - for example, becoming part of a Grail or somehow improbably being resummoned with her memories intact...

Then her dearest wish may come true.

Servant: Beast IV-R
Alignment: Lawful Good
True Name: Hosokawa Gracia

“The only counsel I require is mine.
The only directive that guides me is my own.
The only consolation I ask is from myself.
All the blessings in this world belong to me.
A perfect peace, completed whole within myself.


If anything would intrude on that…
May it burn with the other refuse out of my sight.”

Parameters:
Strength: E
Endurance: EX
Agility: C
Mana: A++
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: --

Background:
An existence born of Hosokawa Gracia's dearest held wish, the Beast of Contentment is the world she prayed to be born in given life - a world containing no one else, peacefully devoid of conflict, dissent, and longing. A false savior that desires to bring happiness to all by elimination of all points of comparison, leaving only herself.

Differing from the Beast of Comparison, the heart that compares itself to others and vainly measures without result, the Beast of Contentment never looks outside itself in the first place, humbly concluding that nothing else is needed. As a Beast, her ideology is simple, the logic of a self-centered child who endured the attention of others and found deliverance in the promise of salvation outside this world.

Seven billion humans are unnecessary. To give salvation, she will make one blissfully happy.

Personality:
Now unleashed and on full display for what it always was, Hosokawa Gracia's extreme self-love and narcissism run unchecked. While she never truly paid attention to the views of others, passively allowing them to flow over her without acceptance or recognition, now she actively acts to eliminate everything that irritates her - everything that is not her - from her sight.

Beast IV-R has no interest in conversation, other than contently expressing her own thoughts, and finds it difficult if not impossible to regard others as 'human' or even 'things that exist.' If forced to actually acknowledge the existence of others, her calm gives way to a petulant, violent fury, irrationally attempting to tear it apart and scatter its remains, and pacifying as soon as she's again ignorant to its presence.

Class Abilities:
Independent Manifestation
Rank: B
A skill that permits unsupported manifestation into reality. At Rank B, this Skill is a declaration of the holder’s presence across all of space-time, and thereby grants immunity against existential threats by way of time paradox or the instantaneous imposition of death.

Authority of the Beast
Rank: A
An Anti-Human Skill that enhances the skillholder's capacity to harm existences that are classified as Humans.

Personal Skills:
Nega-Recognition
Rank: EX
The special trait of a Beast who sought to bring salvation to the world by absolutely denying the world outside herself. By virtue of absolute denial that history or culture exists outside her own mind, Beast IV-R unconditionally reduces the parameters of Heroic Spirits from other histories by three ranks, and skills that would directly affect the Beast are ineffective and subject to conceptual rejection. A child's belief that "nothing can hurt me if I don't look", taken to its ultimate conclusion.

World Erosion
Rank: EX
A skill unreasonably elevated from Civilization Erosion, this is a subconsciously active skill inherent to the Beast of Contentment. Anything in Beast IV-R's presence is subject to continuous erasure as she shrinks the world around her, unmaking the very fabric of human history around her. Not a true bounded field, but the destruction of anything that could constitute a bounded field, up to and including the common sense of mankind. Until Hosokawa Gracia is alone, until she has been left with only herself, this skill will perpetually impose the reduction of the world, tearing away at people, places, and ideas.

Protection of the Faith
Rank: A+++
A Skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is the absoluteness of one’s body and mind that was born from their beliefs. But if it is too high, it causes abnormalities in the personality. An obsession with solitude and serenity introduced by a well-intentioned book, held close and fostered until it has warped the very nature of her soul, hardening it against any intrusion.

Disengage
Rank: A+++
The ability to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat or reset the battle conditions. As long as she is not definitively, entirely defeated, the world that is Hosokawa Gracia still exists, and damage to her form is completely undone as soon as battle is ended, shedding even conceptual interference and the greatest of curses.

Noble Phantasm(s):
[Her only Noble Phantasm having already been expended, Beast IV-R has nothing that may be regarded as a Noble Phantasm.]

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Jesus, that is one hell of a sheet. I could not have imagined Gracia interpreted that way, as a seemingly harmless Saver transformed into one of the most terrifying Beast concepts I've ever seen.

[Fabuzer]

Simply amazing. I didn't expect that twist.

Contentment as the opposite to Primate Murder's Comparison was very well-done. It reminds me of the Reason of Musubi in SMT: Nocturne.

I'm a bit unsatisfied with how little info is given on her Class Skills, but that's just a personal nitpick of mine since I usually justify them even though the canon sheets don't even bother to do that.

I would say "where's the twisted love for humanity that characterizes all Beasts", but her mentality is essentially the same as Kiara's "I'm the only true human that matters hurr durr" so it works. In fact, it makes me think that I forced on my previous Beast sheets the assumption that their twisted love for humanity had to be straightforward.

I also love the fact that she is just a complete nobody who turned into an Evil of Man.

It's great. The world's greatest coward who cares for no one, listens to no one, understands no one - someone who feels so safe and content in her own personal bubble that she doesn't even bother to acknowledge anything that is out of her comfort zone. She stands at the center of her own world and anything outside of it might as well not exist.

LCK: B

Class Skills

Magic Resistance:
D - This skill grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Because she is a Heroic Spirit from an age where Mystery was very thin, one can hardly expect any Magic Resistance from her. As a degree of apology, she is compensated with this Skill only due to her Class container.

Personal Skills

Daredevil of the Clouds
A+ - The skill given by those who are known for their ability to pilot aircraft, like planes, balloons, zeppelins, helicopters and so on. A similar skill to Voyager of the Storms, though as vehicles generally piloted by a single man, it trades the ability to lead multiple people by a complete lack of fear and an innate sense of its surroundings. Gives the servant ranks on the Bravery and Eye of the Mind skills.

Weak Constitution
A - This is a weakness struck by the nature of frail health. Similar in nature to Innocent Monster, where the perception of the people in the future affects the existence of the Heroic Spirit. Notably known as a sickly and frail person in his youth, Lancer was refused many times to fight in the war as he was unable to past the physical requisitives to enter the army. Lancer gets huge demerits while doing any extraneous action outside of a vehicle.

Ukemi
B - The mastering of the art of falling codified by those martial artists that follow the Gentle Way. It allows one survive through great falls and throws without so much of a scratch. Very useful for someone who is constantly fighting in great heights. Though not a martial artist in any traditional way, Lancer was a notoriously reckless pilot and had been shot down 9 times in his life. He has become so used to these crashes that killing him by crashing his plane is an impossible feat and he will always survive even if terribly injured

Biography

In 1916, a irreversibly process started to happen to the “Soul” of Humanity. With the start of the Great War, certain ideals had been deturped, destroyed and thrown away, the absolute grind of the modern warfare happening with the soldiers had killed the “spirit of chivalry” of the war. Heroism and Hope had been traded by pragmatism and tedium. Trenches, no-man lands and chemical attacks had essentially erased the action of the individual who had been transformed into a mere silent nameless number to be thrown into certain death. However there was one place remaining here individualism and heroism remained: The skies. Fighter aces fought in the skies, seemingly far away from the cruelty and corrupting power of modern warfare. Like angels they traded bullets in a beautiful dance of death. They became celebrities in their countries, much times compared to knights, fighting for the honor of their countrymen with absolute skill. And there was no greater Knight than Georges Guynemer

Georges Marie Ludovic Jules Guynemer or simply Georges Guynemer, born in 24 December of 1894 in Compiègne, was a fighter ace that fought during WW1 and became up until his death the Ace of Aces for the allied side. Renowed for his pilot skills and his chivalric attitude, George Guynemer became a symbol during his time alive and after his death as the last bastion of chivalry in warfare and the ideal of it meant to be an ace. His countrymen René Fonck who went on to become the top Ace of Aces succeeding Guynemer still couldn’t surpass him in popularity, never reaching the heights of the popularity and renown that Guynemer had.

Born from wealthy parents, Guynemer was born as a sickly kid. This frailness continued through out his life and even as a young man. He joined millitary college, where George was described as lacking strenght but determined and smart. Guynemer was always fascinated by machines and after embarking on a secret flight paid by one of his friends, George fell in love with airplanes and made his carreer life to join the school for aviators. His frailty prevented him though and the school refused to allow him to join the school. Even when the War begun in 1916, the army refused to accept him in the ranks. Starting from the very bottom of the rung as a helper for the fighters, Georges climbed the ranks of the squadron up until he was finally allowed in a fighter plane.

When he finally did it, Georges had soon revealed to be an excellent fighter pilot. A glory hound at heart, Georges soon became known for his preference at close range dogfighting, downing enemy plane after enemy plane in a manner that many would say was reminiscence of a knight’s joust. Georges Guynemer would soon become known as the “Miraculous” and the “Knight of Air”. His attitude towards his fellow pilots, enemies or friends, would also help his transformation to a living symbol. Courteous and headstrong, Georges most well known act was when he was facing against a rival German pilot in a dogfight. In June, after some 20 minutes in inconclusive combat with an Albatros D5, Guynemer noticed that his adversary’s gun had jammed. He waved farewell and broke off the flight, leaving his opponent (the source of this account), six-victory German ace Ernst Udet, so stunned and disturbed that he had to take an extended leave. Militarily speaking, Guynemer’s gesture proved absurd. Udet later shot down 52 more Allied aircraft, became Germany’s second-highest-scoring ace, and survived the war.

These actions helped propel Georges to a higher status. Fighter Aces were celebrities to the eyes of their countrymen, but no star shone brighter than Georges Guynemer. Georges’ actions elevated not only him but the entire of the class of aerocombatents. In the eyes of the world Guynemer became a lynchpin to the ideal of the “hero”. As long as Guynemer flew and fought, not only him, but everyone around him from friends and enemies also became “heroes” in the Worlds’ eye. But while Humanity looked with bright eyes to their aerial heroes, the the spirit of the times brought by the grind of the Great War also started to take its toll among the seemingly distant knights of the sky.

As pilots begun to count the dead, their usual courtesy and honor had begun to be traded by bitterness and rage. They may have fought in the sky, distant from warfare, but as the years passed by they to begun to wish for more practical and more effective ways to not “duel” his rival fighters but to kill them decisively. A change had begun in the aerial warfare. Georges Guynemer, the last of the knights, still held his pride, but even him could feel that his end was coming.

Guynemer way of piloting was a reckless one, so even if he obtained victory after victory they came at a cost of his body. He had been shot through his arm, shoulder, legs and even face. He had been downed 8 times prior, but he kept getting up and getting back into the skies. After being told by his family to take a break Georges famously told them: "If one has not given everything, one has given nothing.". Georges wouldn’t stop flying until the war was over or until, more likely in his own mind, he would die flying.

And so it happened. On September 11th of 1917 on a reconnaissance mission Georges saw five German planes and flew into attack. Without hesitation, he bore down on them. At that moment enemy patrolling machines, soaring at a great height, appeared suddenly and fell upon Guynemer. Guynemer fought against them in a massive dogfight made of about 40 planes including Baron von Richthofen and his circus division of machines, painted in diagonal blue and white stripes. Still he was shot. And slowly Guynemer’s plane faded gently into the clouds into never being seen again. His body was never found. Georges death was a great shock to everyone involved. Frenchmen all over the world cried for the death of their hero. German Aviators sent flowers to the place where he would be “buried”. The world lost their lynchpin of heroism. And while other fighter aces like René Fonck and Baron von Ritchfotten would eventually surpass Guynemer in number of kills, no one was able to cast the shadow of heroism that Guynemer could. And with the end of WW1, so came the end of the Ace Heroic Spirits.

Noble Phantasm

Le voeu d'Yvonne

Yvonne’s Vow

A simple Noble Phantasm this is more akin to a curse set upon the body of Georges Guynemer. It’s the crystallization of the vow made by his sister back in his family’s house after he was seriously injured in one of his many dogfights. Guynemer was sent by the army to rest, but he couldn’t stand still while his countrymen were dying by the droves. So he brought his plane with him, planning to fly on his own to down some germans. His family sensing his resolve tried to stop him so he could rest. His sister then agreed to a promise hoping to dissuade the wounded pilot.

"Very well, this is it: every morning you must examine the weather. If it is bad, you will let me sleep."
"And if it is fine?"
"If it is fine, you will wake me up."

And to keep him at home until he should be cured, more or less, the young girl opened her window every morning and inspected the sky, secretly hoping to find it thickly covered with clouds.

"Clouds, waiting over there, motionless, on the edge of the horizon, what are you waiting for? Will you stand idle and let me awaken my brother, who is resting?"

But most of the time they never came. Wounded, injured but happy, Georges would then hastily dress up and fly to fight the germans, eventually coming back for lunch. And so he did it, almost everyday until his full recovery, as if the world wanted to see him in the skies. And so it came to be true “Whenever Georges flew, there were clear blue skies”. This Noble Phantasm is the realization of that truth: Whenever Georges is on a aerial vehicle, it doesn’t matter how was the previous weather, if he is in a tornado or a deep mist. Light will break through the clouds revealing a deep blue sky. This truth is so simple and so absolute that it also impacts weather based noble phantasm and magecrafts. There is essentially a bubble of protection that diverts any sort of weather effect coming to him, be it wind or lightning.

La lance du Vieux Charles

The Spear of Old Charles

This is his Georges bread and butter and the crystallization of his very own style of piloting that made him renowned through out history as the Last True Knight. While some other fighter aces prefered to hold advantage at range and would back down after losing that advantage, Georges would charge head-on into battle forcing everything into a deadly close quarters combat. Piloting his plane the trusty

Old Charles

, armed with his special cannon and facing his opponent in mad charges became a common imagery of World War 1. Spectators watching it would talk about how whenever George took flight, it’s like they were seeing a valiant knight jousting against a deadly enemy.

This Noble Phantasm takes the form of his plane the

”. Georges actually flew 13 different planes in his time as a fighter pilot, but they were all named the Old Charles, named after a mechanic he was particularly fond of. Whenever flies an aerial vehicle that vehicle becomes the

gaining traits from all

Old Charles

previously used in his life. And the most iconic of those traits is the “Jousting Lance” of his “Trusty Steed”: a 37 mm (1.46 in) cannon equipped in one of his many Old Charles that came to be known as his avion magique.

Cannon

The Jousting Lance

, is the final effect of his Noble Phantasm and his true offensive power. By itself it’s normally a cannon. It deals considerably damage, but compared to other ranged weapons, its power is pretty low with pretty terrible accuracy. However as the Knight approaches his rival, the Lance starts to become much more special. The cannon starts to imitate the effects of a Jousting Lance. Seeing by these lenses it’s not too similar to Astolfo’s Trap de Argalia. It essentially forces the opponent into contact with the ground. But by a fighter pilot the ground is something much more dangerous than to a knight. To a knight, falling down from his steed just means the continuation from his fight now unarmed. To a fighter pilot the ground is where death lies. A plane crash is going to kill its pilots 90% of the time. And if his Guynemer’s Jousting Lance forces the rival pilots to meet death in a honorable duel, the lance also starts to inherit the trait of “death by crash”. Guynemer takes then a different approach to Astolfo’s. While Astolfo’s Lance has the constant state of “falling”, Guynemer’s bullets have the effect of a “crash”. Essentially they contain “kinetic energy” of a potential crash and when they hit the target they transmite that energy into the target. As he is able to close the distance, the bullet starts to hold more and more kinetic energy with each shot becoming more and more damage. While from afar it holds as much damage as a gentle trip it quickly grows into a full blown car crash. At point blank rage, the cannon shoots a blue bleam that envelops the cannon taking the force of the tip of a lance before shooting forward. That bullet holds the conceptual trait of “the earth”. Anything hit by that bullet will feel like they just crashed through the earth at the speed of supersonic jet. Anything without falling or bludgeon damage resistance will surely meet its end if Guynemer is allowed such feat. However if he is able to activate the full extent of his lance, because he is so close he will also feel some damage. Because of his Ukemi skill, he will generally be able to survive the blowback, however his vehicle will surely be destroyed and he will have to find another one to pilot after resting from his injuries
Anti-Unit - C+++

Like two years ago, I posted an idea for a fanfic for a Singularity happening in WW1. It was supposed to be focused on fighter aces and whatnot. Since the beginning I didn't want to make every pilot a rider, so I made an objective to have only 1 fighter pilot to be a rider, which would be the Red Baron. So since then I begun to think on how to portray the other pilots in other classes. I eventually put that idea into bag and the other day, I decided to come back to it. Guynever would be a very important character to the whole story his clashes with the Red Baron would be the center of the story. I decided to focus on the Knight aspect of Guynever's character and his second Noble Phantasm is supposed to reflect that. If didn't know how to balance the final effect of the Noble Phantasm so I'm not really sure if that's too much or too little for a Servant

So I know that's Tracer there, but I was struggling to find a decent art there for him, and I stumbled through Tracer's slipstream costume which I thought it kinda fit with the "cool ace" thing going with him. I'm going with him as a male but if you notice theres probably some wrong genders pronoums through out the fic because I kept flipflopping and I don't know if I got them all. I'm just too lazy to try to think of an reason for the genderswap but it would be something like "hid gender to get in the army" or whatever. Nothing really important there, it's just because of faceclaim

Feedback would be great

[King of Padoru]

Very quick nitpick: the rank of MR shouldn't be higher than E, or rather, he shouldn't even have it, since he's a very modern Servant. Although I guess that him being the "last knight" could serve as an excuse to give him MR above average for his epoch

I didn't have time to comment before, but that Graca sheet is seriously awesome. A bit disappointed she has no new uber-haxed NP in her Beast form, but given how powerful she is already I guess she hardly needs it. Her motives of wanting to destroy everything other than herself so she can enjoy a world of perfect solitude reminds me a lot of Hajun from Kamui Kajiri Kagura​. I wonder if that was an inspiration?
