[RoydGolden]

So, guys. What do you think of me writing up a Berserker!Lernaean Hydra sheet?

Depends. Is it a cute girl?

[Diablo Interceptor]

-Title: Daughter of Typhon and Echidna, Great Serpent of Lernaea, Hera’s Trusted Crab
-Other Qualifying Classes: Archer and Beast
-Gender: Female/Male
-Alignment: Chaotic Evil/True Neutral
-Origin: Greek Mythology

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

Class Skills:
-Mad Enhancement (D): Strength and Endurance parameters are up, but complex thought or attempts at communication are heavily strained. Activate until Berserker’s second Noble Phantasm are triggered.

-Presence Concealment (C): Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. The rank of presence concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack. Inactive until Berserker’s second Noble Phantasm are triggered.

Spoiler:

Personal Skills (Berserker):

-Dual Summon (A): The rare ability of a Servant to be summoned with qualities from more than one Class. In this case, Berserker has been summoned with (sealed) Assassin capabilities.

-Monstrous Strength (B): An ability possessed by monsters and beasts that temporarily boosts of the Strength parameter by one rank for a time limit determined by the ranking of this skill. However, prolonged use may cause regression to an animalistic state.

-Battle Continuation (EX): Any attack that is not an attempt to sever a head, including attacks that cause piercing or bludgeoning damage will be negated. Will deactivate when Berserker's immortal head is destroyed.

-Poison Creation (B): Berserker can exhale a billowing mist of poisonous gas that saps the endurance of creatures caught within or spit a stream of corrosive liquid over long distances in in a spitting-cobra fashion. This poison inflicts so much agony that it led an immortal like Chiron to forsake his immortality to be rid of it.

Spoiler:

Personal Skills (Assassin):
-Armored Shell (A): All non-magical damage is reduced by 60% and 50% of damage taken is dealt back to the attacker.

-Divinity (C): As a reward for giving its life doing Hera's bidding, Assassin was immortalized in the skies as the constellation Cancer.

-Dual Summon (A): The rare ability of a Servant to be summoned with qualities from more than one Class.

-The Honor of the Battered (E): Willpower to continue fighting while injured is improved, but the Servant receives no active bonus to Strength or Stamina. Additionally, healing Thaumaturgy is 5% more effective than normal.

Noble Phantasm:
-Endless Regrowth: Never-Ending Cycle Of Battle
*Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
*Rank: B

So long as Berserker’s single immortal head remains in place, she will never die. If one of the other non-immortal heads are cut off, two heads will quickly grow back in their place. However, all of Berserker’s parameters will decrease by one rank for each pair of heads regrown as she needs to draw from it’s limited pool of mana in order to regenerate at an unusually fast pace, literally draining her Master of mana until they are rendered catatonic and eventually die.

To prevent Berserker from growing new heads, the severed stumps must seared by acid or fire.

-Karkinos: Hera's Crab of Endurance
*Type: Support
*Rank: C-

Berserker possesses two different forms that she can utilize and transform into on a Master’s command, one specializing in strength and speed while the other focuses on defense and stealth. This ability comes at the cost of shutting off skills and Noble Phantasms related to her Berserker form while she is in her Assassin form and vice versa.

This Noble Phantasm allows Berserker to take the form of a dump-truck sized crab with a nearly-impenetrable carapace. This form features a high base stat of Endurance along with low-ranking parameters that slowly rise over time with the more damage that is taken at the expense of its Endurance statistic dropping from incoming attacks by 20%.

Spoiler:

True Name (Berserker):

In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast that possessed poisonous breath and numerous heads that ranged from nine to one hundred. The Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna, who also fathered the Nemean Lion, Lycian Chimera, Ladon, Theban Sphinx and Cerberus. As such, it was said to have been chosen as a task for Heracles as one of his Twelve Labours so that Heracles would probably die.pon reaching the swamp near Lake Lerna, where the Hydra dwelt, Heracles covered his mouth and nose with a cloth to protect himself from the poisonous fumes and fired flaming arrows into its lair, the spring of Amymone, to draw it out. He then confronted it, wielding a harvesting sickle and discovered that the chthonic creature's reaction was botanical: upon cutting off each of its heads he found that two grew back, an expression of the hopelessness of such a struggle for any but the hero, Heracles.

Realising that he could not defeat the Hydra in this way, Heracles called on his nephew Iolaus for help. His nephew then came upon the idea (possibly inspired by Athena) of using a burning firebrand to scorch the neck stumps after decapitation, and handed him the blazing brand. Iolaus cut off each head and Heracles burned the open stump leaving the hydra dead; it's one immortal head Heracles placed under a great rock on the sacred way between Lerna and Elaius and dipped his arrows in the Hydra's poisonous blood, and so his second task was complete.

When Eurystheus, the agent of ancient Hera who was assigning to Heracles The Twelve Labours, found out that it was Heracles' nephew who had helped him kill the Hydra, he declared that the labour had not been completed alone and as a result did not count towards the ten labours set for him.

Spoiler:

True Name (Assassin):


According to an ancient Greek legend, the figure of a gigantic crab was placed in the nighttime sky by the goddess Hera to form the constellation Cancer. Hera swore to kill Heracles, the most famous Greek hero. Hera attempted to kill Heracles in many different ways, but each time his incredible physical strength allowed him to survive. The Romans called him Hercules.

Hera cast a spell of madness on Heracles, causing him to commit a great crime. In order to be forgiven, he had to perform twelve difficult tasks. One of these tasks was destroying the terrible nine-headed water-serpent, Hydra.

During the battle between Heracles and Hydra, the goddess Hera sent a giant crab to aid the serpent. But Heracles, being so strong, killed the crab by smashing its shell with his foot. As a reward for its service, Hera placed the crab's image in the night sky.

...How did you go so quickly between asking about doing a sheet and writing up the entire thing? Seriously, it's been only a few minutes since your initial post.

Kind of feels odd to have totally non-humanlike Servants, but the idea's fairly well thought-out. Only thing I can say is that the first image doesn't work...

[Bird of Hermes]

Caligula Lily: Not much I can say that hasn't already been said but I really like the characterisation here. Kinda suprised there's little mention of Incitatus in the craft essences playing on comedic aspects.

Also, no mention of Agrippina? For shame.

Considering that she was a manipulative so and so, I personally associate her with Caligula's latter years after he lost his marbles.

Lernaean Hydra: That was quick, I like that you've found your niche of non-human servants. Also;

[sherlock1110]

Presence Concealment (Mirrors): A+
The capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. In her unique circumstances, she is instead able to enter a 'Mirror World'. She can be perceived through the reflection of a mirrored surface, but is still intangible until she exits the 'Mirror World'. Due to the high rank of the skill it is highly difficult to actually perceive her unless she allows you to.

Isn't this more like a Noble Phantasm? It's a very powerful and frankly niche skill, so it corresponds to what I see as a Servant's trademark more than a skill that different ones can use. Sorry

Most inspirational quote of all time

Wow, this Berserker's fc gives a very 'Crabby' vibe to me....

(I'm so sorry)

That's fair, I'll think about an alternative.

Tobias would be disappointed, frankly it's leaving me shell shocked.

[Historia]

Considering that she was a manipulative so and so, I personally associate her with Caligula's latter years after he lost his marbles.

They were on good terms actually. He and all his sisters (Agrippina, Livilla, and Drusilla in order of their births) shared a close bond. Though, when Drusilla (his favorite kid sister) died, was when he started to go a bit over the deep end.

Also, after plotting to murder him not long after (because he was becoming more and more unstable, etc), while Drusilla's widowed husband was sentenced to death, Agrippina was given the punishment of carrying his ashes back to Rome along with three daggers (representing the three conspirators -- Agrippina, Lepidus, and Livilla) in a mockery of her mother's carrying of Germanicus's ashes back to Rome. A big slap on the wrist, but better than execution. Livilla was also given a slap on the wrist, then both were exiled.

So, yeah.

Another thing is Nero's association with fire. When he was born, the first rays of the light from the sun touched him and it was said that he would grow up to be a great ruler and be loved by the people. And, ahem, because of the complications surrounding his birth, this was also seen as a bad omen. That he would eventually murder his mother and bring ruin and hellfire to the people. In response to this bad omen, she was remarked to have said "Let him kill me then, only let him rule!" and never gave birth again afterward because his was so difficult that she was afraid of going through it a second time and, to her, he was the one.

Family was very important to them.

A question, one of my Servant sheets that's WIP is something of a Servant-Phantom combo, like

Moriarty,

is that a good idea or not? If not, I can simply edit it out without a problem.

[Spartacus]

As long they have a strong connection, like Shinjuku Avenger.

But something like Shinjuku Assassin, who I personally think is a combination solely created for the plot, is a bad idea imho.

apparently they can only exist in the shinjuku singularity
and the moriarty is the one who figured out how to combine them

[SleepMode]

I thought it was

Baal

who figured it out...

Speaking of combos, how in the world was Moriarty still summoned as Archer after the singularity?

[You]

it's the same reason you can summon ilya or gorgon for instance
but yeah you're right it was baal who figured out how to fuse them, my bad

and it's nigh impossible outside of shinjuku so I guess its okay then to make one.

[SleepMode]

...Never thought the reasoning was this... lacking.

[asterism42]

Why does Yan Qing have a phantom again? I can understand why the other two'd appreciate them, but I figure he'd be strong enough as a Heroic Spirit in his own right.

[Magikewl]

Being able to disguise yourself is pretty nifty yo

[SleepMode]

To be fair, his Presence Concealment is rank C... which is so so for Assassins.

As stupid as the plot reasons for the combo, the disguise ability was pretty neat.

[Ail Don]

Gu Dasao would've been a better choice as a nobody from the Water Margin smh
