Nice work Scribe, I really had fun with the guessing game, and the final payoff is very much worth it. Connecting the Argo, Icarus' wings, and the Nautilus together is a genius idea I never considered, but you pulled it off.
Minor correction though, my Servant is Laplace's Demon, different from his younger brother Maxwell in canon.
Edit: Also, it's official. I initially meant "Mother" as in referring to nuns in general, but considering your angle, Richardis just adopts her, and I'm all for it. Wholesome.

Say Scribe, will you be doing the rest of the Astranauts in the future?
The read was really worth it, pretty heartfelt and a great addition to the voyager class. Man, Chaldea Nemo-Triton must be pretty weird for her.
And i wonder how she actually became parts of the vessels? She was an orb, then became part of the ship somehow, was found by the nautilus and then became part of it as well?
Very much waiting for your theia continuation

Well-written and heartfelt. I was skeptical of connecting three wildly unconnected stories but the Triton relationship was easily enough to justify it all. You even justify the Voyager class beyond "oh they travel a lot" with the wonderful parallels to the Golden Record, good stuff.
I can't believe my boys have a little sis, imagining her and Pérdix interacting is too much for me heart.
I hope you don't mind if I feature her in a future project too.
I'm also very excited for Theia. Great stuff, Scribe.
"I have around... 4 dads, 3 moms, 7 or so brothers, and 3 sisters give or take! A lot of cousins too! A lot more if you count the crew of the Nautilus! What's up with that!?"They're Greeks. What can you do?
Of course! However the methodology will depend. I could play the guessing game with them in the Guess-A-Servant thread or just post them outright when I finish their sheets. Either way I slice it, they will be written and they will travel upon the Astra towards the Sea of Stars.
The timeline is as thus: Daedalus crafts his Wings of Freedom => Ikaros flies too high => Voyager is born due to close proximity to the Radiant Crown Server => Ikaros and Voyager falls => Time passes as Voyager's original body as the EVA suit is shed away by the Ocean, leaving only her CPU modules behind => They rust and degrade into a "Clod of the Earth" => Triton finds her and adopts her as a replacement goldfish to Pallas => Refined from a "Clod of the Earth" to a "Jewel of the Sea", Pallas wishes to travel as that is what herof 'Journey' compels her to do => Triton hands her over to the Argonauts => Due to her capabilities as an invention of Daedalus, it is simple to integrate herself into the Argo's systems => The Journey of the Argonauts continues => At Dream's End. The Death of Jason. => Pallas is taken by the Ocean's embrace to sink to where no one will see her lingering with her memories => A long time has passed and Triton wants his daughter to feel better and be happy => Triton directs the Nautilus towards her location => The Nautilus notices a strange signal and finds her => The crew bring her aboard and she meets Nemo => She falls in love. She has plenty of experience with falling. => She integrates herself with the Nautilus => The Journey of the Nautilus continues => Sometime later, it is just her and Nemo at a hidden island (Lincoln Island) => The eruption of Lincoln Island's volcano occurs. Forever entombing the two lovers, dreaming of a Ocean of Stars.Origindisposition
All that was stuck in my head for days. DAYS. Have yall ever experienced lugging around plotlines like that when you make your sheets? I mean, it was pretty darn difficult to fit all that into the sheet! I don't think I even did it any justice, but I did what I could.
Of course you can feature her! You're one of her biggest inspirations!

Dislikes: Akhenaten, hateful people
Talent: Eating planets
Natural Enemy: Akhenaten, Nitocris
Attribute: Sky
Traits: Male, Divine
Armament: The Solar God's Flare
Catalyst: A solar disk of any kind
Class Skills:
Existence from Outside The Domain EX: As he is a full and true outer god, he gains this skill at an immensely high rank, symbolizing his ability to permanantly exist from beyond the void of space.
Oblivion Correction A++: He gains this skill due to his constant hatred. He will never forget his grudge against the Egyptian people, no matter how much time passes.
Divinity Of The Solar Flower A: A modified version of Divinity, suitable for an Evil God, although downgraded by his current form. This allows him to gain dominion over beings associated with the stars.
Personal Skills:
Madness Enhancement (Fixation) B: A modified version of madness enhancement, Aten is able to place it onto anyone he wishes, causing them to be fixated on destroying him. A double-edged sword, as as their madness grows, so too does their anger at him.
Shapeshift B-: A skill born of the anecdote that he was said to have a million forms, and yet one. He is able to change form into many different animals and creatures, however, he cannot fully change, keeping his eyes the same exact color and his scars in roughly similar places.
High Servant EX: A skill born of the fact that he is a fusion between the divine spirit Aten and the outer god Yomagn'tho.
Noble Phantasm(s):
Solar God's Flare
Aten of the Three Petals
Type: Anti-Fortress
Rank: A
Range: 100 meters
Max Targets: 1000
This noble phantasm is the sublimation of his anchor in Egypt, as three items that levitate around him, an Ankh, a Crook, and a Flail. The Ankh, when power is channeled into it, creates a barrier of solar energy that shields Aten from attacks and noble phantasms below rank B. The crook, when power is channeled into it, grants him a power equivalent to Charisma A, and the flail, when power is channeled, allows him to make an Anti-Army A rank attack with solar energy. However, when they are used together, their true power appears, allowing him to smite a location with fire.
Aten, Eternally Rising
The Eternal Hands Of The Disk
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: A
Range: 200 meters
Max Targets: 100
When invoked, this noble phantasm manifests the hands he is depicted with, manifesting thousands out of pure fire. He can control them with his mind and extend them as far or as close as he wants. In addition, these hands are incredibly hot and will wear away the endurance of anyone who touches them.
Yomagn'tho
The Devourer From The Stars
Type: Anti-World
Rank: EX
Range: 1 Light Year
Max Targets: 1 Solar System
This noble phantasm would normally never be activatable, but if he manages to obtain a massive supply of mana, he would be able to materialize his true body, a titanic three-petaled ball of fire. It will immediately begin swallowing the solar system, and within less then an hour, the entire system will be eaten.
Lore:
Aten was an Aspect of Ra, the solar disk. But this is only one part of this alter ego. The second part is the Evil God Yomagn'tho. He had arrived at earth during the reign of Pharoah Akhenaten to swallow it. But Akhenaten noticed, and he realized that to stop him, he would have to merge him. So he conflated the true names of Yomagn'tho and Aten, transforming Yomagn'tho into a god who would be famed during his reign and then fade away. How interesting!
Personality: A cruel being, he wishes all of humanity to be destroyed, although he doesn't dislike any human, he hates the idea of Humanity in general. However, with Aten in the forefront, he becomes far more nice and helpful to all of humanity, thinking of them as friends. His wish is wildly different depending on who is in the forefront. If Aten is, he wishes to seal away Yomagn'tho permanantly, while if Yomagn'tho is, he will use it to gain enough mana to activate Yomagn'tho and destroy the world. How odd!
Relationships:
Koyanskaya: Why do you hate humanity? They are mostly kind.": "Humanity should be destroyed, that's true, but by me and not by you, false Beast. You shall fall before my limbs. Aten, Eternally Rising!
Abigail Williams: "Oh hello, how are you?": How did he lose with a vessel powerful enough to hold this much? Even a Beast shouldn't be able to defeat him.
Dioscuri: "Oh you poor souls, fallen so far because of humanity's beliefs. I'll do whatever I can to help."Interesting. I agree with you, Humanity is a vile, hateful, thing. So I shall destroy it.

I fail to see how a fusion of a Divine Spirit and an Outer God can possibly be a regular Servant.
I was wondering the same
this...doesnt work on several levels.
1) an outer god just doesnt appear to swallow the earth without a proper setup you do not provide
2) it makes no sense to conflate them with Aten and hope that he somehow vanishes in decades with this worship
3) I am confused if your plan was to syncretize the Yog-Sothoth anecdote of him being Aten in disguise with Yoma or not
4) He is an Outer God in the flesh, then why is he not Foreigner? Alter-Ego because the literal sense but Foreigner would overwrite it entirely.
5) Because of that Divinity should actually be a Divine Core except you claim the body is actually a human
6) ignoring how a human was able to conflate an aspect of the major god with outer god just because, why would Ra let that be and be overpowered? And if he became a god of earth, why wasnt he destroyed by the other gods?
7) origin should be "Lovecraft Mythos" because he had no hand in this. The aten syncretization was from the late 50s and the yoma was from 74 i think
really not a fan of this one, sry buddy

Heya, sorry about that. Something seems to have gone wrong with the collapse text. I have edited it to work right. The correct one, Is. Oh, and I didn't know there was an anecdote that Yog was Aten in disguise, that's really cool!

This still feels like a weird and overcomplicated idea.
“You! Are ye the one who has summoned me to yer aid, as the Rider-class Servant? [...] Aye, eh? Hmm… Heh. You have guts, wee lad/lass. Facin’ a tower o’ a man without so much as a flinch? Very well. I’m satisfied t’ know I wasn't summoned by a yellow-bellied boot licker. I am Robert the Bruce. The Saviour King o’ Scotland. Servant o’ the Rider-Class. An’ consider us henceforth allies... you have me axe. Least, 'til I break it again, probably. Always put a wee bit too much into my backhand.”
True Name: Robert a Briuis (Robet the Bruce)

Gender: Male

ParametersMagic Resistance
Strength: B+
Endurance: B
Agility: D
Mana: E
Luck: A
N. Phantasm: A
Class Skills
Grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.
- C: Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Riding
The ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding.
- A+: All vehicles and all creatures up to the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.
Personal SkillsBrave Defense of the State
The capacity of a Servant to mark a region as his personal dominion by securing the surrounding ley lines prior to an engagement. Due to Rider’s less bloodthirsty reputation than Vlad III, his variation of the Skill has a different name from his Demonic Defense of the state.
- EX: The Bruce’s ability permits the reinforcement of his combat capabilities when fighting in his territory, gaining a combat power bonus equivalent to Mad Enhancement of Rank A (Ranking Up all of his parameters), and allows Rider access to the optimised application of his Blàr Allt nam Bànag Noble Phantasm.
Charisma
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.
- B: Having B Rank in this Skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its King/Queen. The morale of military forces he or she commands is extremely high.
Tactics
Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
- C
Valour
The ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. It also has the bonus effect of increasing melee damage. Not usable under the effects of Mad Enhancement.
- A
Noble PhantasmsHelm-Splitting Giant’s Axe
Tuagh Mòr a ’Briuis
Great Axe of the Bruce
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: D
Rider’s preferred weapon of choice is his greataxe: a weapon so large that it’d take two men to lift it but he can haul it around effortlessly in one hand. Its most notable anecdote being its use at Bannockburn to cut clean through Sir Henry de Bohun’s helm and his skull with one swoop, albeit breaking its shaft in the process. Despite its tendency for the shaft to break (as Rider tends to put too much strength into it), it is an incredibly easy weapon to fix.
Tuagh Mòr a ’Briuis has an innate “anti-armour” property. This axe can split clean through most armour, including magical armour, barring Noble Phantasm armours of a C-Rank or higher. Rider’s swings with Tuagh Mòr a ’Briuis are so strong it causes the air to bend in the path of its swing; creating crushing vacuum waves in its wake.
Lay The Proud Usurpers Low
Blàr Allt nam Bànag
Battle of Bannockburn
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: A (A+)
Rider’s signature Noble Phantasm is the crystallization of the single most famous event of his life: the Battle of Bannockburn, widely considered to be the single most important turning point in the First Scottish War for Independence. If used outside of his preferred territory, Rider can use this Noble Phantasm to summon up to six Scottish knights in addition to his own personal mount. Each Knight is treated as a Masterless Servant and are equipped with war hammers, shields, daggers and longswords equivalent to E-Rank Noble Phantasms.
These soldiers’ Parameters and Skills are as follows--
- Strength: D
- Endurance: D
- Agility: D
- Mana: E
- Luck: D
Disengage: C
Valour: C
Under Rider’s command, their default strategy is one of aggression: charging together, alongside Rider, for an onslaught of seven strikes each (making for a total of 49 blows) delivered so fast they seem to be instantaneous. This leaves the afterimages of forty nine Scottish soldiers in its wake, making it look as if a small militia in its own rights charged all at once.
If its name, Blàr Allt nam Bànag, is invoked while on his own territory (as denoted by Brave Defense of the State), the true power of his Noble Phantasm can make itself be known: transforming his marked territory into a Reality Marble, The very visage of Scotland’s mystery and beauty is cast over the territory: the rolling green hills, the distant mountains, the misty moors and the great lochs. It is within this Marble that the Bruce, Scotland’s ordained saviour King, can call upon the aid of the very country itself to assist him. He can summon forth his entire army of the men and women who fought at the Battle of Bannockburn to recreate the legendary charge. And, even more impressively, he can call upon the aid of Scotland’s national animal itself.
A giant unicorn of thick musculature, a deep silver-blue with a flowing white mane, wearing the red and yellow banners of the Revolutionary Army proudly; its great, glistening horn a sword in its own right. This unicorn was once the steed that aided William Wallace as Scotland’s chosen champion but now acknowledges Robert the Bruce as the nation’s saviour and, thus, true master. The unicorn’s horn acts as a lightning rod for powerful magical spells, protecting Rider from the effects of spells of up to A-Rank; converting that magical energy into kinetic force to empower its own charges.
Go First As Thou Hast Always Done
Cridhe an Righ Buan
Heart of the Enduring King
Type: Support
Rank: A
During his final days, Rider’s greatest regret in life was that he never embarked on a crusade to try and reclaim the Holy Land. So his dying wish to his lifelong friend Sir James Douglas to carve out his heart after death and carry it with him, in a silver box, to the Holy Land when he embarked on crusade. Douglas would go on to do so and, during his own fatal battle, was said to have thrown the Bruce’s heart into enemy lines first, allowing the Bruce to “go first as [he] hast always done” in life. Miraculously, the heart returned to Scotland. Intact.
Upon being mortally struck, Rider can extract his own spiritual core; passing it onto his Master, contained in a silver box, before his body passes on. Once opened, this silver box will summon forth Robert the Bruce, one last time, for one last charge. This only lasts for one minute before its effect ends and Rider’s presence truly fades away for good. But, during this time, the battlefield he is summoned onto is treated as being under the effect of Brave Defense of the State, allowing Rider to draw upon all of his powers for this last minute of glory.
Personality
Rider’s personality is a striking contrast to that of his fellow revolutionary, William Wallace. Whereas Wallace is loud, proud and crude, Rider is observed to be much calmer, humbler and polite in his addressing of others. He often speaks with a relatively deadpan voice and, if a situation does not require the need to speak, he may opt to not say a word at all. In spite of this, the Bruce is also a reassuring and steady rock of support with his unflappable exterior. When he speaks, his words can grab the attention of an entire room.
In spite of his many years fighting against the English invasion on Scotland, and his messy history with English kings named Edward, he surprisingly harbours far less disdain for them than his contemporary. His own hate for the English fizzled out by the tempering of kingship and the lsos of his brother in Ireland, trying to take further revenge and initiate a war on two fronts for his enemy. He realised he could let hatred destroy him. Or he could finally move forward with his life. So he has elected to choose the latter. It certainly helps that, apparently, third time was the charm and Edward III actually allowed Scotland to finally be left alone.
He is a man who died with most of his dreams fulfilled and thus he has few regrets. Even his dying wish was seen through by his loyal friends; a testament to the depths of Rider’s ability to make strong connections. If he had but one wish and one wish alone? It would be to meet with the Guardian of Scotland, William Wallace, one last time. And bring him to Scotland so that he may gaze upon the free lands they had fought for and know the legacy he inspired.
RelationshipsWilliam Wallace: “Nay. I weren’t e’er the best o’ us, Will. Only th’ one who finished th’ run.”

Been AGES since I last posted, so thought I'd repost who is fast becoming one of my favourite Heroic Spirits in my catalogue. The straight man to the Scottish revolution and living proof you should NEVER mock a horse with a razor-sharp lance on its head. Mostly just expanded his relationships a bit.

8) why are there skills that collapse without a camouflage skill and without proper setup
9) the explanation why he is connected with this seems like a meta description of "because I want him to be a non-really Foreigner". He is a pharaoh that was almost erased from history. That is an invitation to make him a Foreigner, yes. But set it up with some motivation of the god. If he even is there. And why should he know about that thing in the first place? As if Outer Gods are actually common knowledge in some way "guess I am connected to this incomprehensible thing then"
The correction made it made it worse. We in Germany call it "verschlimmbessern" - "worse-bettering".

(Check out my Super Special Awesome Servant Compendium here)
Fun fact. THE BULK of Arthurian legend and its key characters have significant roots in WELSH folklore and legend. Kay, for example, was one of the most important of King Arthur's knights in the Welsh tales.
The joke being that The Bruce admires King Arthur but has a very messy relationship with England.
