I already knew about the purge resistance part from TM wiki, if that's what you're referring to. :s Did they make that stuff up about holy trees?
No, but they did botch it. It's talking about "Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig" as one of the skills that Divinity breaks through, alongside "Divine Protection of Faith". Basically just expanding the pool of stuff Demigods can fuck up to include Buddhas instead of just Christians.

Description:
Although a king in his former life, Rider doesn’t possess the same kingly presence that many other monarchs emanated during their rule. He was never particularly a warrior king leading from the front, despite being a competent enough combatant, and his body reflects how he thought of combat as something necessary but secondary in importance to his firm guidance, looking lean and spry enough but without any real sense of physical strength. Though he doesn’t bear a kingly countenance his shoulder-length black hair is well groomed, tidy and straight, and his dark beard is minimal, tightly cropped and following the lines of his face only, so he at least looks respectable and someone to be taken seriously.
He is average in height, clad in the leather jerkin common to the Dark Ages and beneath that a mossy green tunic and soft hide trousers. At his side he bears a Viking-style sword, a design which would become common during the Saxon-Viking invasions decades after his rule, but it is of an exceptionally fine design as befits a king and brought to him from the Saxon homeland. He also bears a reinforced wooden buckler bearing his kingly sigul and is able to manifest a standard British war spear and a utility dagger as needed.
Class Skills:
Riding (A): With his treasured mantle Rider was able to acquire many a beast to use as a mount in his daily life and as such he has mastered the highest level of riding skill.
Magic Resistance (D): Rider was a king in a time of druids and magi and often waded into battle against them, but never experienced magic that forced him to develop his resistance beyond what the Rider container provides as a default. Can repel single-action spells.
Personal Skills
Compel (A+): The talent to tame and command beasts and familiars, presumably granted to Rider through his ownership of Cebystr. At this highest rank Rider is able to tame any beast that he is able to lay his hands upon, riding or commanding it as a tool of war or as a pet under his sway. This rank is great enough to even compel animalistic familiars summoned by other Servants or magi. Beyond rank A this ability also mimics Draconic Command at Rank C, allowing Rider to ride upon mid-level dragons.
Anticipation (B): By waiting for the opponent to make the first move and priming his body to react instantly and appropriately Rider is able to mount an effective response against them. At this rank Rider gainst a Rank Up to LCK, STR and AGI when responding to an attacker that he allows to move first.
CebystrTreasured Halter of the Isle of Britain
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Unit
Description: One of the Thirteen Treasures of the Isle of Britain, Cebystr is a halter of incredible power with the sole purpose of summoning grand mounts for Rider. In the various lists of the Thirteen Treasures the ability of the halter is clear and defined: If affixed to a bed the owner sleeps in it will manifest any horse that the owner dreams of for his use when he awakens. As perhaps the only particularly notable element to Rider’s legacy, Cebystr has sublimed into a powerful and exceptional Noble Phantasm with summoning abilities bordering on True Magic. In truth, this is its grand secret, a mantle imbued with the smallest sliver of the First Magic, the lost art of generation of ether.
Instead of being attached to a bed, Rider manifests Cebystr as the halter for his war chariot, a sturdy vehicle strengthened by it presence as part of a Noble Phantasm. The chariot possesses a basic anti-magic trait within its wheels, dissipating prana as the wheels turn, stripping the prana from the land and from any Servant or magus Rider tramples. However, the true power of Cebystr lies its expanded summoning abilities as compared to the original lore.
Rather than having to sleep and dream of a horse, a task impossible for a normal Servant, Rider has only to grip the halter and cease any actions for a handful of seconds whilst visualising a creature. That creature will be summoned as a familiar constrained by the halter, at a cost far more economical than one would believe for such summoning prowess thanks to the partially self-generating prana the First provides. The limitations of the halter are only as small or large as Rider cares to imagine, as long as the creature truly existed in some way, either as a normal animal, a Phantasmal Beast or a legendary unique beast of myth and legend. Rider is even able to summon dragons with this Phantasm and control them through his Compel skill, as long as they are not too great or fantastic a dragon.
Rider tends to use his Phantasm as a toolbox, as even in his era he had heard many a story of strange and fantastic beasts and he is familiar with the traits of many of them. As his knowledge of beasts and legendary creatures grow so too does Rider’s potential arsenal with Cebystr. Because of the First Magic locked deep within the halter these creatures are not real animals, nor are they truly familiars in the common sense, but Ethereal Beasts who all contain some spark of divine mystery within, even the most simple of animals.
History:
Rider was a ruler during the late 6th to early 7th century, a king of the region of the then-unified Britain known as Hen Ogledd. He was of an impressive royal pedigree but there are few factually-known records of his time as ruler, or his life before that, so most of his notably lackluster legend comes from links to powerful magical treasures and possible links to Arthurian legend.
Rider is known to have worked with Rhydderch Hael, owner of the famed flaming sword Dyrnwyn, and two other kings of the northern region of Britain during an attack on the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd, leading his army in attacks on the area until he was forced out of the kingdom by its ruler Rhun. Though it is undocumented it is during these raids that Rider acquired the grand treasure Cebystr, a gilded halter that could make and horse he wished for appear within it. Though this treasure has remained known in the modern era the adventures that came about because of it have been lost to time. Rider himself recounts skirmishes fought over his prize horses, and the fury of kings and warriors who believed he was stealing their named and titled horses.
Nearing the end of his reign Rider was called to a gathering with the other owners of the Thirteen Treasures, summoned by the powerful Welsh druid Myrddin, the progenitor to Arturia’s own Merlin. He set a deal with the owners that if he could retrieve the Horn of Bran then they would have to leave their treasures with him, for his own use. They agreed, knowing that Bran was a man famed for his greed and for never letting anyone touch his possessions, but Myrddin presented them the Horn of Bran regardless and collected the items, sealing them within a castle of glass watched over by the goddess Arianrod. Without his treasured Cebystr Rider’s fame faded away, and his time of death is no longer known to history, an event that Rider himself firmly refuses to talk about.
Notes:
- First of all, yes his NP is EX. Medea’s Argon Coin is rated EX for being able to summon a low-level dragon and this one can do this and more. Plus he can actually use it.
- Aside from being able to summon incredible beasts, Rider has pretty much nothing going for him. I designed him as an ultimate Rider, totally weak but with an absurd NP to compensate for it, that’s why Cebystr gets to do amazing things it couldn’t do in the original legend. I know that’s not necessarily exactly how NPs tend to crystallise, but lolFirstMagic.
- Rider only gets 2 personal skills because we know pretty much nothing about him and being a warrior isn’t really what he was renowned for. Isn’t it sad, Rider?
- I’m not quite sure if I’m satisfied with Rider as he is, though I think at worst he’s not too far off what I’d pictured. Any suggestions or feedback are welcome, however.

I'd say he's pretty damn good, Vagrant! He's basically a Servant that requires careful planning and skillful use. As long as he summons the right beast for the job there is almost no Servant he can't challenge. The trick is to give him as much info as possible on mythical beasts. He's basically the Servant equivalent of a Pokemon trainer who's hacked the game to give himself whatever 'mon he wants! Very good job.
I just put up an idea I had a long time ago called the Standardized Servant Rankings, I already had it up elsewhere but I decided to move it over here too, if anyone is interested please go and tell me what you think of it.
Alright, promise is a promise. Since my new Servant got into the new F/E RP, I'll post the old one from the old RP here, revealing ALL SECRETS.
Keep in mind, it's made for RP. Therefore, not everything is how I'd want it to be.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Servant
Name: Scheherazade
Servant: Caster
STR: E
AGI: C
CON: E
MGI: A++
LCK: A++
NP: A++
Class Skills:
Territory Creation
Creation of a magical territory that amplifies one's abilities as a magus. Having territory lowers the prana cost of the spells used in that territory, as well as amplifies the regeneration of prana as the date changes, for both Master and Servant.
- B: At this rank, creation of a "magic workshop" becomes possible. It consumes the inside of whole building, setting itself to match the size of the building. The cost of spells is half of the usual, and prana regenerated is doubled.
Explanation: The palace of the king was, slowly but surely, turned into the territory of Scheherazade during the thousand and one nights she spent there, and in the end, she exerted more power in there than the king himself.
Personal Skills:
Love of the Lore
Due to the vast amount of knowledge about legends from all over the world, recognition of other Heroic Spirits may or may not happen from few simple details that are noticed. The higher the rank, the less is needed to identify the enemy.
- A: At this rank, only one “definite” detail is needed to completely recognize the other Heroic Spirit. This gives out their major skills and the name of their Noble Phantasm, though some details may stay hidden. In the case of this Heroic Spirit, she can recognize the Heroic Spirits of near and far Asia. If the Heroic Spirit is from Arabic, Persian, Indian, Turkish, Egyptian or Mesopotamian history or folklore, the recognition is almost instant.
Harmony
Attack accuracy does not decrease no matter how many times the same technique is used against the same opponent.
- A: At this rank, the enemy cannot anticipate the spells that will be used. Even if they know exactly what spells Caster has, they cannot prepare to them in any way, as her spellcasting makes predicting impossible. However, this is only the case with Caster's own special-type of magecraft.
Explanation: No matter how many stories she told to the king, they were always fascinating enough for him to allow her to live yet another night. She repeated this over thousand times.
High-Speed Divine Words
The ability to activate thaumaturgy without the connection of incantations to circuits. The words from the era of gods, back when words played a heavy role in the actualization of mysteries. As a result, pronunciation is impossible by modern humans.
- A: At this rank, even high thaumaturgy can be activated with just a single action, and the prana needed is halved due to it being taken from the environment. However, this is only the case with Caster's own special-type of magecraft.
Explanation: Having lived in the age of gods, Scheherazade’s words were impossible to resist, being a sort of magecraft by themselves.
Sorcery
The individual’s skill in traditional spell casting.
- B: At this rank, the Servant has learned how to use complex sorcery involving many lines. Servant can create up to six spells for himself, with the prana unit cost being half of the cost issued to Masters.
Explanation: Scheherazade was one of the most accomplished magi of her time, being the daughter of the mystical vizor.
Noble Phantasms:
Name: Kitāb Alf Laylah Wa-Laylah
Title: The Thousand and One Nights of Dreams
Rank: A++
Type: Reality Marble
The ability to change reality into one of the legends spun by Caster. It isn’t a Reality Marble in the most common sense, but more akin to something between it and a Bounded Field. It is the realization of the legend as told by Caster, changed into reality so vivid that people who experience feels as if they are part of the story. And in a way, they are.
Legends turned real, and which, in turn, override the true reality. That is the truth of this Noble Phantasm.
This Noble Phantasm allows Caster to take the area of her desire and change it to a Reality Marble encompassing the major aspects of one of her tales. For example, she could change the first floor of Arena to the tale of “Abdullah the Fisherman and Abdullah the Merman”, which would make the whole area into an underwater city, through which the people in there had to survive by finding a way to hold their breath, and where the normal rules are inverted. Or the tale of the Ebony Horse, where all the people in the floor have to learn to control their Ebony Horses before they crash into the ground, as the place has been turned into an endless sky above plains. Every tale has its own set of rules which Caster can utilize.
Caster is also able to summon specific figures and items from these tales, such as some of the more famous djinn, the Fourty Thieves, the magical lamp or the aforementioned Ebony Horse. These items count as Noble Phantasms of their own right, with their own SP cost to use. Unlike summoning characters, which cost a certain amount of SP depending on the power-level of the character, items do not cost SP to summon, only when used individually.
More than a single Noble Phantasm, this is a whirlpool of thousand legends, from where one is picked and used against the opponent.
Name: Nadhartu in ‘āda Az-zamānu Yalumanā
Title: By time, our Love will Grow
Rank: EX
Type: Support
A support-type Noble Phantasm which is always activated. Not a curse nor a blessing, but a miracle that stems from the unbelievable ability to change a fate that had happened to thousand people before her. It is the source of Caster’s immeasurable luck, and what defines her as a Heroic Spirit.
The true form of her legend.
Those in contact with Caster will fall automatically under the influence of this Noble Phantasm, unless they have LCK attribute as high as Caster to prevent it. Those who do fall under the influence will notice growing difficulties when it comes to fighting against her. The effect is subtle and slow, but as time goes on, it will become more and more apparent and powerful. This is the terrifying power of this Noble Phantasm, as it, slowly but surely, makes the opponent fall in love with Caster.
Only in the presence of Caster does this Noble Phantasm continue to affect the target, though thinking about her may also have a slight effect on the target. And, obviously, the more under the influence of this Noble Phantasm, the harder it is to actually harm Caster at all. Those completely blinded by love may even lose their whole fighting spirit.
Even those who are emotionless will feel their love begin to blossom, as Caster was once able to sway absolutely merciless and emotionless king with it.
Well damn. This Scheherazade profile beats my old one in everyway.
Great profile.
Spoiler:
Dat LCK
I really like the Love of the Lore skill. But then again, I have a soft spot for original skills. That second NP is also pretty terrifying >_>
She was also pretty much the worst enemy of any christian hero. In one story (forgot which) the God (yes, that God) used an energy-spear or something to smite someone and kill them deader than dead. And since, according to Joan's profile, if you're a christian Servant with MR, christian-based magic attacks will bypass your resistance...
Well, that sounds like it would have been fun to get killed by! Montalban probably wouldn't have even slowed it, I assume.
I was so looking forward to using it.
Caster: "GOD SPEAR"
christian!Servant: "What."
And here I was regaining a sense of confidence for the new EXTRA, but now it's slowly starting to chip away. Verg is indeed scary...
Beware the Viking, Spin.
Spoiler:
Mm, it's more like "Christian basis for MR" rather than any Christian Servant with Magic Resistance. Jeanne's faith-based MR "cannot cope with the sacraments of the Church" but who knows what that means in less vague terms. Well, considering "sacraments" in Nasu terms refers to more specifically crafted concepts and constructs.
<NEW FIC!> Revolution #9: Somewhere out there, there's a universe in which your mistakes and failures never happened, and all you wished for is true. How hard would you fight to make that real?
[11:20:46 AM] GlowStiks: lucina is supes attractive
[12:40] Lace: lucina is amazing
[12:40] Neir: lucina is pretty much flawless
It's a smite of God.
Your argument is invalid.
That second NP feels like it would kind of backfire against somebody like Lil' Ronnie and Drac.
And the first NP reminds me of Wario Ware lol.
