Create-a-Servant

[Five_X]

Bzzzzt, McJon, wrong answer.

[Mcjon01]

Hey, I'm being considerate here. I'm only saying the fanfiction forum is terrible, not the fanfiction itself.

[NailsInYourFeet]

Posting my reworked Assassin sheets here, as unlike my Berserker sheets which have been expanded yet are centred around the same concepts, these guys ended up pretty different upon rewriting, at least in certain places (Erik's been updated too, but moved to the other thread):

Pedro Romero Martinez

Class: Assassin (Saber also possible).

True Name: Pedro Romero Martinez, Artist of the Arena.

Gender: Male.

Alignment: True Neutral.

Stats

Strength: D.
Endurance: E.
Agility: B.
Magic: E.
Luck: A.

Class Skills

Presence Concealment: C.

The capacity to vanish from sight and remain undetected, enabling this Servant to strike from the shadows.

Pedro uses this Skill remain hidden till the first two stages of the 'fight' are complete, delaying his enemy with his minions set up via Subversive Activities while he observes their patterns from afar. When he deems it time for him to face the enemy however, he tends to put this Skill to waste by making an appropriately grand and dramatic entrance.

Personal Abilities

Beast Slayer: B.

Boosts any attack performed on an enemy with beastly or monstrous attributes. The higher the nature of their monstrousity or animalism, the deadlier the Servant's attacks against them become.

As every last opponent he faced was a raging bull, Assassin is fully adept at dealing with utter beasts. However, lack of experience against mythical or supernatural beasts denies him a full Rank A.

***

Eye of the Mind (True): C.

Heightened insight that was refined through experience.

A matador who spent almost all his life in the ring, Pedro makes note to observe his surroundings and keeps close watch on his foe's behaviour. In particular he looks out for the motions his foe makes and whether they are more inclined to offence or defence, him reasoning that a more defensive opponent is also the more dangerous.

***

Knowledge of Respect and Harmony: B.

Prevents decrease in the effectiveness of technique.

A matador's life is one of respect for his opponent, and a matador is trained specifically to end his opponent with a harmonious, clean kill and not in a messy and inelegant shower of blood.

But for Pedro personally, this skill reflects a most noteworthy event in his life, in which he slew 80 bulls in a row for his last ever show, despite being well into his twilight years.

***

Subversive Activities: D.

The art of setting up traps to weaken opposing forces prior to engaging in battle with them. The higher its Rank however, the more the user's status as a Hero is weakened.

In a bullfight, there are often two rounds that involve sending in picadores and banderillas (riders with spears and flag-planters respectively) so as to weaken the bull before the matador steps up for the final round, 'Tercia de Muerte'. That would appear to be the basis for this Skill, with most of the 'traps' taking the form of low-level familiars, formless Wraiths clutching onto their designated weapons.

Able to reduce a single target's capacity by 50%, but could run into difficulties when facing more than one opponent.

Noble Phantasms

Red Capote, Instrument of the Tauromachia.

Rank: C.

Type: Anti-Personnel.

Range: Anyone who casts their eyes upon it.

The red cloth called the muletilla is the common tool for any matador (along with the espada sword), yet Pedro has a closer connection with it than most. This is due to him being the grandson of the very man who invented it, Francisco Romero, thus the muletilla is a vital part of his family's legacy.

Upon unfurling the scarlet cloth and invoking this Noble Phantasm, Assassin releases a crimson-coloured wave which inflicts E-Ranked Mad Enhancement upon anyone (even non-Berserkers, even non-Servants) who lacks some form of defence against mental interference. To those possessing Mad Enhancement, it only increases their Rank, making them even harder for their Masters to maintain than they already were.

For any other Servant inflicting Mad Enhancement upon their enemies would be sheer foolishness, but for Pedro it works out rather well as he has spent his whole life fighting against enraged beasts.

***

The Highest Art, A Lifetime Unscarred.

Rank: B.

Type: Anti-Personnel(Self).

Range: Himself.

Pedro's greatest achievement was not any single fight or event, though that's not to say that none of them were exceptional. No, his greatest achievement was that he managed to live his full life in such a dangerous profession of matador, yet emerged from it all without once having been struck a significant wound or serious injury.

This Noble Phantasm is the encapsulation of Pedro Romero Martinez's complete, unblemished existence on this Earth. The beauty, the brilliance, the sheer mastery of skill, all of it tied up under the one NP.

The Highest Art is a constantly active NP that nullifies any damage against Assassin that would otherwise cause serious scarring or wounding, anything that would get in the way of such a perfect record. Having high enough Strength will not be enough to bypass this, as this NP's foundation lies in Luck and not Endurance, allowing only those with A-Rank Luck to ever inflict such a grievous wound on Pedro.

On the downside, this NP offers no resistance against any damage that doesn't result in a wound, such as mental assaults, magic attacks and status effects. It will also not protect Assassin from any minor damage at first deemed 'insignificant', meaning that it's possible to take him down through accumulated blows.

Or simply go after his Master instead.

***

Espada Ochenta, Farewell to the World

Rank: A+.

Type: Anti-Battalion.

Range: Up to 80 targets.

This NP crystalises Pedro Romero's last ever performance, in which even riddled by the clutches of age he nevertheless managed to slay eighty bulls for his last ever crowd.

Espada Ochenta allows Pedro to unleash all eighty of those killing blows in quick succession unto his hapless opponents, each and every blow a flawless display of a lifetime's worth of bullfighting experience. Each and every blow therefore extremely deadly to even the greatest of Servants.

But since this the crystalisation of his last ever performance, to resort to this NP is a suicide move for Pedro, as once all 80 blows that make up this NP are dealt (with no way to stop in-between once he begins it mind you) the Grail classifies Pedro as no longer a combatant in this War, forfeiting his soul which it promptly absorbs.

Character

Pedro Romero Martinez was a famous matador said, in all his years of fighting, never to have received any serious injury, making him comparable to a Spanish version of Honda Tadakatsu, even if Honda fought in real wars and not mere bullfights.

In contrast with his hotheaded ancestors who viewed bullfighting as a passionate display of courage, Pedro was a more refined man who re-interpreted it as a form of art. Due to this, he appears to be quite critical of his heritage, seemingly writing his forefathers off as gung-ho buffoons, yet behind this dismissive exterior he holds nothing less than the greatest admiration for his family.

Pedro tends to view his Master as like a student and thus acts as their teacher (mainly on the subjects of grace and finesse), as he indeed was in his later years, though tends to ignore whether his Master has any actual need for a teacher. He has no wish for the Grail, being content with his life as it was, but cannot resist any opportunity to step back into the ring again.

William Wallace (no seriously)

Class: Assassin (could easily be Archer, technically Saber too but wouldn't stand for the class's 'honourableness').

True Name: William Wallace, Guardian of Scotland.

Gender: Male.

Alignment: Chaotic Good.

Stats

Strength: C.
Endurance: D.
Agility: D.
Magic: E.
Luck: D.

Class Abilities

Presence Concealment: C.

The capacity to vanish from sight and remain undetected, enabling this Servant to strike from the shadows.

Though he may not look like the subtle type, Wallace was particularly noted for his skill at blending in with the terrain before leaping out onto his enemies, a quality well-demonstrated during the Battle of Stirling Bridge where he and his followers ambushed the divided English army.

Personal Abilities

Guardian Knight: D.

Increase of combat abilities and parameters as long as one is acting in the defence of another.

As the guardian of an entire nation, Wallace's Rank should be higher, but due to his rejection of the title 'Guardian of Scotland' and his own disdain for the stereotypical chivalric knight, this Skill has been noticably reduced in power.

***

Military Tactics: D.

The ability to resist enemy Anti-Battalion attacks whilst boosting the Servant's own Anti-Battalion attacks.

With this low Rank, the Servant holds a single outstanding feat of strategical thinking and brilliance (the Battle of Stirling Bridge) to his name, yet is held back by a string of failures that occured afterwards (namely the Battle of Falkirk). Incoming or outgoing Anti-Battalion attacks can be lowered or boosted no more than one Rank.

***

Pioneer of the Stars: E.

A skill of ambiguous nature awarded to those who became turning points in human history, overcoming the impossible and bringing forth great change.

Apart from his rebellion against the English, one of Wallace's main accomplishments was how his underhanded stealth tactics and rejection of chivalric warfare were over time to become responsible for the end of noble, knightly combat altogether. It was this that allowed him to overcome the impossible (for a short amount of time) when fighting against the vastly superior-in-numbers English army and even inspiring them to eventually abandon chivalric combat during the Hundred Years' War.

***

Spark of Rebellion: B.

A combination of the two otherwise contradictory skills of Charisma and Rebellious Destiny, suited nevertheless for the leader of a rebellion.

At this rank, Wallace's presence overrides that of any king's, whilst he stands backed by the allies he makes as if he were their one hope of beating back their oppressors (well, until Robert de Bruce comes along or something).

Noble Phantasms

Auchenbathie, Chivalry's Bane.

Rank: E ~ A.

Type: Anti-Personnel.

Range: 1 target.

A bow, plain and undecorated yet strong and sturdy to match its owner, whose arrows deal greater damage against enemies more tightly bound to a code of chivalry and honour, with mindsets just like the very knights who once held his homeland under their iron rule. To a knight of Camelot or honourable samurai like Uesugi Kenshin for instance, the damage from this Noble Phantasm can reach up to A-Rank.

Wallace's underhanded tactics brought him his greatest successes in an era where chivalry was otherwise the norm, and as mentioned above may have inspired the decline of chivalric warfare in general. This NP is incarnated as his bow in particular as throughout many ages of history the bow has been looked at as an ignoble or dishonourable weapon, even so far back as the days of The Iliad.

***

Memory of Stirling, Triumph against Forces Overwhelming.

Rank: B.

Type: Anti-Personnel.

His famous broadsword which has been imbued with the power to slice through what seems to be empty air itself, morphing the landscape so that spaces become narrower and the area between objects or obstacles becomes smaller. Any Servants used to fighting in open or larger spaces will be placed at a severe disadvantage, struggling for room while Wallace effortlessly closes in on them.

In essence the true purpose and idea behind this Noble Phantasm is to recreate the conditions surrounding Wallace's greatest triumph, the Battle of Stirling Bridge in which the English forces ended up reduced in breadth after walking across the narrow bridge, allowing Wallace and the rebellion to easily ambush and slaughter them.

The sword's scabbard, made from the corpse of an enemy commander slain at the famous battle, may be tied in with the NP's effect somehow. As Wallace is no true reality warper, the 'spaces' slashed through by this NP tend to reset soon after the conclusion of a battle.

***

Unstealable Freedom, Cry of the Oppressed.

Rank: A.

Type: Anti-Battalion.

Upon invoking this NP, William Wallace channels every hardship Scotland has endured and all his people's desire to be free into a single weapon. Not bound by one of the three Knight Classes this can be any weapon Wallace chooses, be it his bow, sword or anything else he can get his hands on, however the true form of this Noble Phantasm from which its powers flow into him is the crown of thorns adorning Wallace's head, forever marking him an outlaw.

With the weapon he chooses as the focal point for Scotland's desire to break free from oppression, it and the thorned crown glow bright with the force of countless souls and signify overwhelming doom for his enemies.

Character

William Wallace is a rough and cynical sort who holds nothing but disgust for everything English, especially the romanticised (or 'pansyfied', in his own words) notion of the perfect English knight, thinking they're so high and noble while arrogantly keeping the people down.

For in life, William Wallace didn't have the luxury to play nice and fair when it came to war, his homeland had been overwhelmed by the English and the forces he could gather to drive them out were in short supply. He knew too well that the battlefield was no place for games or gentlemen's courtesies, and that he'd need to fight at his dirtiest if he was to have any chance of winning.

He may sound like the sort to not take well to being a Servant, but he actually appears fine with it... on the condition that he isn't summoned by a British Master. Otherwise, he's usually the 'harsh, but fair' type to his Master.
His favourite tactic in the Grail War appears to be running up from the shadows after an enemy finishes crossing a narrow path and slashing them with his claymore.

His personal wish for the Grail is to create a world in which King Edward Longshanks never came to the British throne, making it so that Scotland would never be under his rule to begin with.

Edit: This here was the reason I made Wallace an Assassin; if this isn't the mentality of an Assassin, I don't know what is:

The type of engagement used by Wallace was contrary to the contemporary views on chivalric warfare whereby strength of arms and knightly combat was espoused in the stead of tactical engagements and strategic use of terrain.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Asdfghl, you took the False Berserker idea for Odysseus and ran with it. I still prefer my profile over yours as its complete and because its mine, but you have a solid start.

[G-Man]

@ Blackdeath6031 - Don't be so hard on yourself. For a first-time Servant profile I'd say you did a pretty good job on him! I think it was Lyco who earlier mentioned he'd like to see a profile on the Dai-Tengu, and I think he makes for an interesting Servant with his ability to go from an almost traditional Caster (nice job with the Exile personal SKill and its handicap by the way) to a Saber-eque winged monster.

[Asdfghl]

Asdfghl, you took the False Berserker idea for Odysseus and ran with it. I still prefer my profile over yours as its complete and because its mine, but you have a solid start.

Thanks. He's done now.
Anyone have any suggestions for the plowshare? It feels lackluster.

[Shirou_EMIYA]

A friend wanted me to post his servant sheet of Kotomine Kirei here.

Name: Kotomine Kirei
Class: Assassin
Biography: Kotomine Kirei is a somewhat Empty human being, seeking a reason to live. In life he had nearly mastered many things but constantly switched. He joined the Church, reasons no completely known, like his father. He has participated in the Original 4th and 5th Holy Grail Wars, as Master of Assassin, Lancer, and an Archer.

He was always on the side labelled as Evil though. Very few things can touch his heart, and one of them is the suffering of others. Another is extremely spicy Mabo Tofu that he eats rapidly without drinking, to the point you can see him sweating.

He had lost both wars, to two generations of Emiya's, the second one having resulted in his death. It isn't completely clear how he died though. He has many skills, and served in many roles, such as the Supervisor of the Holy Grail War, an Executioner of the Church, and an Apprentice to a High Standing Magus.

While he himself shouldn't have Magic Circuits, his were some sort of divine right from God for his father's faith. The rest of his magic comes from many command spells on his right arm, going up the Elbow. They were aquired from his father, who was killed while supervising the 4th War.

When he died he had no regrets, as he had lived his life, and found what he desired. He fought for his ideals against someone who was the same as him, but walked down a different path. His appearance is that of during the Fourth Holy Grail War, when he was at his best.

Extra stuff: Loves Mabo Tofu when it's extremely Spicy, Likes Others Suffering

Noble Phantasm: Baptism Rite: Holy Miracle of Magic - A baptismal chant, the sole magical miracle that is permitted to be learned in the Church. Within the systematic basis of thaumaturgical theory, the teachings of God are considered the greatest weapon against wandering spirits even if one possesses weak capacities of physical interference. In this case, it is a very powerful holy attack.
Noble Phantasm Rank: B++
Noble Phantasm Range: Anti-Unit

Strength: C
Agility: A
Mana: D+
Luck: E
Endurance: B-

Class Skills:
Presence Concealment: A
Unique Skills:
Chinese Martial Arts: A
Battle Continuation: EX
Eye of Mind (True): B

[Tiresias]

Why EX continuation?

[Shirou_EMIYA]

"Well he didn't die when Killed D:"

[Seika]

He dies when killed (if not necessarily straight-away), just not if his ruined heart is immediately replaced.

Besides, even letting go various canon difficulties for the sake of it obviously not being intended as an official sheet, there's still kinda mad stuff here. A-rank Agility? A Servant sheet where they're specifically content at death? Several problems here. (Oh, and this falls under the Fanfic C-a-S thread, not the General Discussion one).

[HiguraShiki]

Hmm, I wonder how a Create-a-Master thread would work, considering the Create-a-Servant thread is pretty awesome.

[Lycodrake]

Hmm, I wonder how a Create-a-Master thread would work, considering the Create-a-Servant thread is pretty awesome.

Let me think about that for a second...
Besides the usual character profile info (name, age, gender, race, backstory, personality, etc.) it would have to have Element and Circuit # and Prana output.
Also: JoJo-verse faceclaims everywhere.

[Blastedspider]

Revised profile of one of my first characters in this thread. Here he is like Saber, with no abilities on NP from other classes.

«I’ll end this»

Name: King Gesar
Class: Saber (qualify for other classes)
Alignment: Neutral Good

STR: A
AGI: B
CON: B
MGI: A
LCK: A
Noble Phantasm: A+

Class Skills.

Magical Resistance. Protection against magical effects.
Rank «A»: Cancels spells of A-rank and below. In practice, no magi of today can hurt Servant.

Riding. Expertise to ride vehicles and animals.
Rank «A»: All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts.

Class Skills.

Tranqulity. Mental state of utmost serenity. Allows negation of mental interference.
Rank «A+»: Any kind of mental-interference is blocked. This Servant will remain absolutely calm even when facing mortal danger.
It is said that mind of Gesar is like a clear sky. Not even Supreme God of Tirthikas was able to affect his psyche.

Eye of Mind (True). Heightened insight, refined through experience.
Rank «B»: Capable of calm and detached analysis of situation even in mortal danger. As long as there is 1% of victory, Servant is capable of turning odds in his favor.
Both Gesar's intelligence and skills as a warrior are praised.

Divinity. Measurment of Divine Spirit aptitude. It can also decrease due one's dislike for the gods. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank.
Rank «A»: As son of the supreme deity of the Sky, worshipped as god after his death, this Servant possess divinity of a highest rank.
Gesar is usually depicted as heavenly emissary, who returns to realm of Gods after his mortal accomplishments.

Knowledge of Respect and Harmony. Ability to prevent decrease in effectiveness of a technique, regardless of how many times it is used against same opponent.
Rank «A»: It's virtually impossible to adapt to the technique of this Servant.
Gesar sword skills are praised in the epic. He is described as greatest warrior on Earth.

Noble Phantasm.

Sherab Raltri - Sword of Thoroughly Ascertaining Reality.
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-unit

The Crystal Sword of Truth. One may call it conceptual weapon of "through cut", or "the sword more real, than reality itself". Its sharpness is unmatched, and it is capable of cutting through any kind of material in the world. Not even symbols of Heroic Spirits, they physical objects, or concepts, are exceptions. Noble Phantasms of lower ranks can be destroyed in a single strike and while higher-ranked and those, which possess special qualities of being "indestructible", are more resistant, they still would be damaged and may be annihilated if assault is continuous.
Sheer power of this Noble Phantasm is further aggravated, when combined with Gesar's unique battle style. Due to his ability to easily withstand pain and disorientation, he is capable of ridiculous feats in combat. Many of his techniques puts the body under stress to the point of physical injury, and some of them require it (for example, several strikes can be performed only because of temporal joint dislocation). He also doesn't suffer decrease in fighting ability when fighting on unfavorable terrain or in unusual pose. For example, he can continue attacking with the same pace, even when he is forced to fall on the ground, for example.
The main disadvantage of this weapon is high consumption of magical energy. To use this Noble Phantasm, the user should have at least A-Rank in MGI. To decrease expenditure of magical energy, series of magical seals, which stop flow of prana, are usually placed on the blade. Because of this, the sword becomes duller, but keep it materialized becomes easier. Also, this weapon seals other special abilities of the user (such as Noble Phantasms, even passive ones, and magical abilities).

Background.

Titular character of the Epic of King Gesar. That story is widespread amongst the people of Central Asia, and is regarded as "the longest epic in the world" by some scholars. Gesar is regarded as divine being, incarnated on Earth to terminate evil forces, such as various demons and tyrants. He starts his campaign to vanquish evil at a very young age, and continue it through all his life. In the Epic Gesar is described as both powerful sorcerer and superb warrior. He can be summoned in all Classes, besides Assassin.

In combat, he exerts supremacy in melee, as one may expect from the Servant of Saber Class. Even when Sherab Raltri is sealed, he is extremely dangerous opponent due to his inhuman battle style. One may say that he has no weakness in close combat due to perfect combination of physical power and combat skills. When his Noble Phantasm is unleashed, he is capable of defeating even stronger opponents quite easily. It is better to try using ranged attacks against him

In Saber Class his mentality is more like “divine executioner”, rather than his usual “carefree deity”. His communication with Master and others would be limited to Grail War-related topics; he probably will not talk about anything else. However, he will oversee and judge Master's actions, and may rebel if he finds them unworthy. Though most likely he will attack Master without premonition of any kind.

[I3uster]

Hmm, I wonder how a Create-a-Master thread would work, considering the Create-a-Servant thread is pretty awesome.

Probably better kept in the RP or FF forum though, since it's just OC wank. (Arguably this thread shouldn't even be in GD under that assumption but what can ya do)

[HiguraShiki]

Let me think about that for a second...
Besides the usual character profile info (name, age, gender, race, backstory, personality, etc.) it would have to have Element and Circuit # and Prana output.
Also: JoJo-verse faceclaims everywhere.

That's right... forgot all about element and circuits.
I'll need some time to think about that.

[mAc Chaos]

He dies when killed (if not necessarily straight-away), just not if his ruined heart is immediately replaced.

Besides, even letting go various canon difficulties for the sake of it obviously not being intended as an official sheet, there's still kinda mad stuff here. A-rank Agility? A Servant sheet where they're specifically content at death? Several problems here. (Oh, and this falls under the Fanfic C-a-S thread, not the General Discussion one).

What's wrong with being content. It's not like they need to make a contract with the world.

[G-Man]

@ Blastedspider - So he's basically an overwheming beast in melee and the silent, stoic type (unless discussing strategy for the HGW), but if he doesn't like you, he'll cut you down without warning (no chance for you to use your Command Spells). Looks like his incredible melee power is balanced by his hard-to-read personality. An NP that can cut through other NPs sounds kind of like BS, but its really the only thing he's got going for him besides his incredible combat skills, and costs so much prana you'd think he was a Berserker, so that balances it out a bit.

[Blastedspider]

Yes, you are right. He is sort of murder machine.

As for Sherab Raltri... Well, I thought that it is theoretically possible to destroy Noble Phantasm with other Noble Phantasm (Gordius Wheel being broken by Excalibur). When I took a step further, and combined it with Gesar's sword, which is said to be able to cut through mountains and oceans, and capable of cutting spirtual stuff as spirits and magic. The magical energy expenditure and sealing of other abilities were attempts to balance what out. He also is weak against things such as Bellerophon or beam-type attacks.

[Seika]

What's wrong with being content. It's not like they need to make a contract with the world.

No, I'm 98% sure it's discussed that they all need to have a wish to be summoned (or respond to the summoning). Artoria wants the Grail itself, but the rest are supposed to want to do something with the wish-granting machine. See for example 5th Hassan's desire to be remembered, 4th Hassan's desire to become fully integrated and so forth.

[Mcjon01]

To be fair, the threshold for what constitutes a valid wish is pretty low. A good chunk of heroes seem content just having a chance to try to beat the shit out of other heroes.
