Description

Class Skills

Divinity D
The level of one's aptitude as a Divine spirit. After becoming partner with the entity she met in the night to Halloween, she gained a part of their divine power, granting a low rank in it.

Existence Outside the Domain B
A Skill inherent to the Foreigner Class, asserting one's existence outside of time and reality. Foreigner is partially resistant to physical and mental damage, as her true self exists far beyond the reality perceivable by humans. This defense can be bypassed if the attacker themselves is connected to "something beyond man", like by possessing the Divinity Skill.
While both entities which empower her are mighty in their own right, they are just considered "servants" of beings of greater power.

Insanity C
A Mental Pollution-like skill gained from contacting an evil god that can easily erode the fragile common sense and morals of humans. However, the main qualification for the Foreigner class is to defy this erosion, either by maintaining their integrity as they descend into madness, or instead of being consumed by madness, they consume the madness itself.
Foreigner invited the madness and fueled her to keep the delusion of her talent alive.

Independent Action -
The ability to remain independent even when rejecting theMagical Energysupply from one's Master; the ability that allows for action even in the absence of the Master.
This skill has been sealed or is unavailable. Servant does not react to questions regarding that.

Magic Resistance C+
Grants protection against magical effects. Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level ofHigh-ThaumaturgyandGreater Rituals. Foreigner has a remarkable resistance against music-related magic.
If not for her own Resistance to Music Magecraft it would be denoted as Magic Resistance (False). She is neither a true magus, nor did she ever encounter magic before meeting her benefactor that one night. Her Resistance during battle comes from the protection she enjoys from Erich.

Personal Skills

Noble Phantasm 1

Dark Demonic Angel of Music

Fleeting Echo of the Flautist of Horror, Tru'Nembra

"Look at my adorable friend here. Isn't he cute? Dances around like a little child when I sing. It brings me the greatest joy to watch him play around. And he is so helpful as well! He is like a walking gramophone!"

A being of swirling, visible sound, permanently playing ghastly tones and dancing maddenly to an unearthly melody. It seems to consider sounds as nourishment and "feeds" on them, growing the louder the environment is. In combat it lowers the opponents ability to resist mental interferences, like that of their music, and protects her from attacks. It too has the Mana Burst (Music) skill, its full potential is unknown, but it is sure to have a higher rank than Foreigner herself. It can part into several smaller pieces.
It has the ability to record sounds and replay them whenever it is commanded too. Some sounds it can reproduce only one time, some several times. It is not clear what the conditions are to replay it multiple times, but it is theorized echoes play a part in it. This ability can be used to replay previous performances of Foreigner when she is unable to or provide background tunes to currently unavaiable instruments. Darker uses are to let it split up and record enemy voices and replay them to lure their allies into a trap. It can even wrap itself around the foe and they are forced to listen to the vortex of tones that it harbours inside. No one dared so far to eavesdrop the inner cacaphony of that strange thing, but enemies who were victim to it had their mind broken…and their face almost ripped of.
During combat that thing can drive itself into a frenzy, could target allies and even ignores some commands of Foreigner. When that happens the usually smiling Erich then starts to look grim, reaches for his back and takes out an instrument, something that looks undescribable and can only be akined to perhaps a drum. Playing it blares out a deep and intimidating tone, that instantly calms down the living Echo or reigns him in. Afterwards, Erich looks like always, creepy, smiling, playing his cello.
Still, it is their favourite audience and singing partner. Foreigner seems to be one of the few mortals to appreciate it's strange performance as the vaguely humanoid figure dances around her and it is the only being that truly appreciates her voice.
It is actually summoned by Erich and when not in combat or dancing in insane rhythms, it is housed in the body of Erich's instrument. The identity of said being is a projection of Tru'nembra, the flautist from the horrible court of the foolish god of another dimension.

Noble Phantasm 2

Music of the Spheres

Final Opera for the Dark God

"Hear the muffled maddening sound of the vile viol and the thin monotous whine of accursed flutes of my friends and listen to my otherworldly glorious voice that even the Gods adore!
Ymg' ilyaa n'gha llll ymg' ahlloigazath ya!
My song shall rise to the depths of the universe, oh hear you gods, this is for you!
Music of the Spheres! Musica Inhumana! Opera for the Dark God!"

Even the ancient greeks knew every astral object has a distinct and unique sound they make, their own special hymn, even the earth. It is usually silent to the normal ear, but it is essential to any living thing residing on that planet or star. If this sacred melody is disrupted, the nature is as well. Disrupt the humming of the world and environment is out of control. That is what the Duo of Dissonance does. They perform their strangest opera, their bizarre Magnum Opus, driving listeners to madness, cursing them and disrupting the earthly melody, causing catastrophes that act as background music to their opera of doom. The earth starts to quake and grants the performance an eery bass; the sea starts rising parallel to the tempo; the sky darkens and lightning zaps to the beat, burning the celebrating maniacs to a crisp as they cheer the end of the world; ley-lines become unstable and start leaking out to the surface, looking like the Northern Lights fell down to the ground.
The stage is set for the Angel of Music to start his performance. Seemingly feeding upon the sounds of his masters, it grows to a tornado of lingering notes, lifting the crowd into the sky and let them fall down to the ground like the petals at the end of Foreigner's acts. During the performance a rift in the sky starts to open and invites an even bigger crowd. In pour low daemons from another realm and "dance" with the audience in blood-red pirouttes, clenched at their necks. The longer the show goes on, the bigger the rift and the more dangerous it becomes for our reality. Only the awful song of Foreigner and the screeching noises of Erichs viol are in your ears - at first, but slowly some other noises are mixed in from above. From far away you hear tones similar to drums, just much more brutal and terrifying and flutes that sound like the death cries of entire worlds. The rift that opens is a gateway to the court of the Daemon Sultan, the sinister concert hall of the true Tru'Nembra and of Skarl. Should Foreigner be allowed to sing her entire performance, the rift will be big enough to let the world hear the entire orchestra of the Evil Gods and spread the madness over the entire globe. And then, if all the crazed masses sing with her, maybe the slumberer awakes…

That is the power of music so foul, so grotesque, so vile, that even the earth itself stops for a second and forgets to prevent calamities and foreign interferencesto occur. During the time the Music of Spheres is active, the correctional forces of the world are disrupted. Therefore the amount of magical energy Servants take from their master is reduced drastically, certain mystical events last longer and so on, making it a double edged sword as enemies can use this time period for potentially stronger attacks without the correctional forces weighing on them. Servants of the class Foreigner with Existence Outside the Domain get a rank up in all stats during the song. The higher the rank, the better the effect for them. As the target of the NP are not the foes directly, but the world itself it can be considered Anti-World.
Even servants who are deaf are still affected by the effects following the disruption, because the holy hymn of the planet influences everyone born on it. Besides the physical consequences, the Noble Phantasm is an unavoidable Mental Interference attack with varying effect, from sheer panic to an uncomfortable feeling, the spectrum can be filled completely. Most Servants will still be able to fight on, only weak Masters may be a problem.
If the NP is interrupted the correctional forces kick in again, the nature calms down and the rift closes rapidly. The weak daemons who couldnt flee back into the rift are then to be killed of. The Opera severely strains Foreigner's throat. If she doesnt succeed, she is likely unable to fight by herself, being even more reliant on Tru'Nembra's Echo and Erich.
The usually smiling Erich then starts to rise and gives Foreigner a dark and disappointed gaze. From the depths of Erich's cello a dark voice, frightening, yet beautiful, can be heard saying "...Pathetic..." Foreigner then trembles in fear and starts pleading

"Erich, please forgive me! I will become better…ouch…I promise next time I am able to handle the ritual! Please…Master Skarl…"

For your imagination

Tactics

Personality

Lady Florence is...eccentric. She loud, she proud, she doesnt know what the heck she talking about. Oblivious about her infamous reputation as the worst songstress, like during life time, she compares herself to the greatest singers in her craft. Criticism is envy, mocking laughter is roaring applause and bad reviews are non-existent. She loves what she does and despite her overt pride and belittling of critics, to all others she is a caring person. Despite her not realizing why the audience is laughing, she does know they do and she uses that to bring joy to the world. Her voice was bad, but she was still loved by the public as a great entertainer and made even the most sophisticated upper class gentlemen people forget manners and roar in laughter. She sang in radio shows as well, countless tired soldiers who had seen death vistas during the war finally had a good laugh and alleviated their suffering for at least a little while. One good known line came from a young soldier "I have lost my left leg during the Battleof Quadalcanal…but Lady Florence makes me happy to be alive."
She is a talented pianist as well, offering piano lessons before she started her singing career and even performing as a young prodigee for the president. That encourages her to teach others the art of music.
She also had a peculiar taste in fashion. She changed her outfit several times during performances, regardless how small the audience. She is most famous for her big angel wings she donned while she was hanging from the ceiling. Her extravagant style is not for everyone, as it consists of many shiny and moving things, that make her look rather silly.She also loved to throw flowers and their petals into the audience to ornate her acts. If she had to do an encore, her partners had to collect all the flowers from the ground so she can throw them around again.
Like with many Foreigner Servants, with increasing influence from the Existence Outside the Domain, she too changes her demeanor. For her she becomes more…selfaware in a sense. She starts to make references to her bad voice and shows a sense of bloodlust against anyone that openly shows her disdain for her music. She mentions a hate for humanity in general, as they mocked an old lady into the hands of a monster and therefore her own death. That illuminates a bit what she thinks of her situation. Her bright attitude deteriorates into a demeaning arrogance towards others.
She then makes actively use of her "Musica Humana" attack and loves to see the victims drive themselfs mad. Her style changes too, her usually bright colors are replaced by a simple black dress. Her famous angelic wings changed to black and make her look like a Fury.

Relationships and Quotes

"Stare into the sun too long and you go blind. Ironic, the most beautiful thing to look at does this to you.
No wonder people go deaf after hearing me sometimes, Yohahahaha."

"What hidden skill? Oh you surely mean my Shapeshift (Outfit) skill? Yeah i wonder why you cant see it, but i can change my outfit any time. A woman of my standing cant allow herself to be seen in the same garment for too long!"

"Care for an encore? You have no choice anyways."

"Your screams are perfect background music. As thanks I shall sing on your funeral."

Salieri: "Oh by the way, I forgot to mention, there was that strange man secretly listening to my performance for Amadeus recently. He suddenly transformed to a red beast and wanted to charge at me while singing, but apparently the security held him back. Here, it is an autograph of mine, he shall have it, he surely wanted one, but I cant give piano lessons to all of my fans."

Yan Guifei: "You just missed the opportunity to listen to a world premiere! Lady Florence sang for the first time in Chinese! YOHAHAHA! I did not know what I sang, but I performed it per excellence! The young Yang Guifei gave me the text, that kind girl even translated the lyrics for me and played the bee-waah to it! It was such a refreshing experience, how could I miss the chance to expand my glory to the far-east? I know the people of the east are a bit more reserved and dont cheer loudly like my fellow Americans, but I hope they show me that serene smile like she did."

Thomas Edison: "I just had the honor of performing for the President - no all the Presidents of the United States! That is my second time performing for the president! How wonderful, a glory they couldnt enjoy during their lifetime, now they had the chance. I never sang for a great white lion, mind you. I could see how his wild mane stood up, thats a lion equivalent tp goose bumps, right?"

Elizabeth Bathory: "Oh there you are! Here have this. You will have the best seat right at the front row! Be punctually, seee youuuu~"
"What is this all about? Oh a flyer. HEEEEH? Concert of Florence Foster Jenkins and Elizabeth Bathory?! Did they…did they really book a whole stadium? But…how…WHY?"

Carmilla: "This Carmilla seems to have a problem with me. Try me, I shall give you a taste of your own medicine"

Iskandar: *Loudly laughs and applaudes during her performance*"Hahaha, splendid. So what if her singing is terrible? A good performance is not solely dependent on the voice! She brings joy in her own unique way. I heard during her life she sang for soldiers and helped them laugh again. What more does it need for her to be respected?! I would glady invite her to sing for my Ioniai Hetairoi! WAHAHA! Encore, Lady!"

Blackbeard: *foolishly dances and claps to her music* "I am not sure if is doing this by himself or he failed the Resistance Check…"

Li Shuwen (Old): "Master, please spare me a moment. It is about Lady Jenkins or rather about her companion. I feel great danger from that man named Erich. It seems to be like a massive amount of Yin poured over a good amount of Yang. What I mean is, he is even more mysterious than we might think."

Yagyu Munenori: "Beware, Master. The man named Erich Zann is dangerous. You surely know that yourself. He seems older than me, but he is as agile as me. As a normal musician? And his movement are rather peculiar. As if a sword is perfectly swung, but by the wrong wielder. Please be careful around him."

Paracelsus: "Mysterious…Ahh Master. Apologize my mumbling. I was wondering about that Elemental of Lady Jenkins and Mr. Zann. I observed them and couldnt help but wonder…if we can even say that thing is an Elemental. It at least doesnt work like any Elementals I can create and it's movements are too sharp. It is either a new category I am not aware of or they are superior to my own abilites. I am sorry Master, I have much to improve."

So who is Erich Zann?

And what is Skarl?

Years before that infamous author had his fever dreams and saw what things lurk beyong the thresholds of our reality, there were others who had the same dreams, but saw something different. One of them was a man called Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany or better known as Lord Dunsany. One night he saw in a dream how an ominous Drummer played to keep a master out of sight asleep. He felt how intense the music was and knew the master has to be kept asleep or else…
Inspired he wrote the book The Gods of Pegana in 1905 and included the vision he had in his work and gave the being he saw a name: Skarl the Drummer. How fate has it the same work inspired the works of Lovecraft. When he dreamt, he saw the thing at the center of that dimension and heard the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes and also…muffled maddening beating of vile drums..
But one question remains. It is not what Lord Dunsany or even if he saw it. It is "When did it happen?"
Time is something that only really exists for mortals and foolish like they are they cant comprehend when it is not working according to their imposed logic. Dunsany did not see the present, nor the future, nor the past or even more distant past. He did see something that was beyond time - before time. Whatever we theorize what the origin of our universe may be, it doesnt apply to the dimesion where the Demon Sultan resides. In fever dreams they understood that he shall not awake. But that which sleeps, had to fall asleep. What happened before that?
Skarl may be the oldest thing in existence we know of. He was tasked with playing for Mana-Yood-Sushai, the being that eternally slept, but had to keep sleeping or else he would wipe everything clean. Be it the gods, the world, Skarl or even himself. He would then recreate everything and will start his eternal slumber yet again, until he awakes for his new creations. For long strange aeons Skarl served and sang and danced and played. But over unspoken time, even that without mind shall create one. Skarl was victim what we would describe as emotions. Long he fulfilled his duty, but without sweet release of end. He hated it and one day he stopped. A misguided attempt of suicide of a being that can not die any other way than being wiped from existence. Mana-Yood-Sushai awoke. But it wasnt his time. Still he fulfilled his duty. He erased the gods, he erased the worlds, the mortals, even himself before recreating everything. Just Skarl was left behind. As punishment for not fulfilling his oath and the audacity to awake his master himself, he was kept alive and tasked with the same mission, yet again. Knowing he could not do that again or else the hell of existence repeats itself, he had to find another way to awake the great slumberer. Contempt for everything is what would describe him the most. For even the greatest things in their plane are considered eternal and undying, but he knows, when eternity ends, they are allowed the sweet relief of death. So he decided to help mortal beings to wake his master in his stead, so they are to blame and bring the eternal end for him and them.

Creator's Notes

**Alexcoene** · October 31st, 2020, 11:44 AM

The first picture isn't working. And that's... certainly a Foreigner tied to an otherwordly god that want to destroy and/or mess up the world, Lovecraft or not Lovecraft. I'm probably not being fair and I like the backstory section, but those kind of characters are pretty stale to me by now. It's a well-made sheet, but I think I'd rather see a sheet of Florence by herself.

**RoydGolden** · October 31st, 2020, 11:52 AM

Florence: This is a quite cool sheet. I definitely got a kick out of the reference to my Scriabin in her backstory. I love the idea of her resonating people's bodies with sound to control them like puppets, it reminds me of something I considered using for my own Scriabin sheet. Her NPs are both quite flashy to visualize and well-written, and the personality section emphasizes her kind side enough that it seems genuinely tragic she couldn't perform as opposed to just laughable. I will note though that the first ascension art you gave her isn't showing up properly.

**DelRey** · October 31st, 2020, 12:06 PM

thx you two, i think i just fixed it. It showed for me properly, but in other browsers not.

I guess as a newcomer who actually likes foreigner sheets i have to live with that most people here are fed up with them. I guess i just have the luxury of reading newer, better sheets after people figured out how to do them properly. I can understand you all, Ive seen some examples of what you have endured over the last years, but right now i concentrate on the ideas I wanna make for the most interesting entities in my eyes.

And pardon me, its otherworldy god that wants to destroy and/or mess up the world, because they wanna die them-self. Thats new right?

I can offer you read my Foreigner Freud sheet from this months Servant contest. That one has no evil outer being.

And Royd, i noticed you used the Musica Humana aspect in ur sheet as well, thats why i was hesitant at first to use it too. It could be said that Scriabin is the reason why Tru'nembra is not really the one that empowers her, just an aspect of his, because he favours him more and they are now that far apart in time i think.

**Kabalisto Koga** · October 31st, 2020, 02:38 PM

SunnysTugarin: despite it Maybe a late Reply but i was at first quite surprised at this Version of Tugarin as i made a Tugarin myself and my own take on is very different but i must say your Version is quite well made Sunny !

please take a look at my Tugarin and say me your oppinion (beside that the Grammar may be Abit bad) . and how would she react if she would Encounter in a Grailar as othe servants the other Bogatyrs respectively "other Tugarins" actually ?

**Kabalisto Koga** · October 31st, 2020, 09:30 PM

I have one Question out of curiousity has someone/were here made servants of Rusian ,polish or Baltic Rulers or Warriors etc?

I mean, there's a whole Slavic section in the OP, which does include rulers too.

Parameters

Strength: C
Endurance: C

Mana: (E) C
Luck: (D) B
Noble Phantasm: B

Class Skills

Magic Resistance
Grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.

B: Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected. (While Catalina herself was not known to have any involvement in mysticism or magecraft in life, her placement in the Saber-class coupled with her high Rank in English Rose have augmented her vessel to one more suitable for the Class.)

Riding
A Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting 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.

C: Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.

Personal Skills

Appreciation for the Arts
Infatuation with works of art.

[*]C+: As a patron of the humanism movements within the Renaissance, Saber has a high chance of recognising the True Name of Noble Phantasms from this era depending on their artistic qualities. Ranks Up if these are evocative of Catholic faith and imagery.

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. It also allows the user to negate the Emergency Prerogative skill of enemies. (Adored by the people of England for her compassion, intellect, beauty and ability to inspire even militarily, Catalina was considered to be “the true Queen of England” even after her death. Even her enemy, Cromwell, is recorded to have said "If not for her sex, she could have defied all the heroes of History”.)

English Rose
A Skill denoting the attributes and traits possessed by women whose legacies within England are of adoration. English Roses are seen as the definitive ideal for women--a balance of grace and beauty with intellect and great internal strength.

A: A truly beloved rose among roses; the nation celebrates and mourns with her without hesitance. Double Rank Up to her Mana and Luck Parameters, it also acts as a form of Incitement to inspire Heroic Spirits from England with great courage to achieve “assured victory”, as she ensured during the Battle of Flodden. Also gives her access to her strongest Noble Phantasm, Andraste.

Grace of God
A Skill that denotes the "beauty of royalty".

B: Many are said to have known Catalia as having been “endowed with the greatest body and beauty”.

Noble Phantasms

Spoiler:

Lore

Saber's true identity is Catalina de Aragon (Catherine of Aragon) , the first of Henry VIII's six wives and inarguably the most accomplished of them all.

Born the youngest surviving child of Isabella I of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon, the de facto first King and Queen of Spain, Catalina was betrothed at the age of merely three to Arthur, Prince of Wales--the firstborn son of Henry VII of England. A powerful potential union with England's newfound stability under the Tudor dynasty of Henry and the reunified Spain the superpower of Europe (especially to get one over the French). Alas, Arthur died not long after the two were wed; soon thereafter, Isabella too was swept away from the grieving Catalina.

But... Henry did have another son. One who bore his name.

So, that is how Catalina became Queen Katherine of England, alongside Henry VIII. Their marriage was once fond and intimate; Happy King Hal an affectionate man, if a bit of a shameless hedonist who was sleeping around with her ladies in waiting (as kings are wanton to do). And Catalina fell in love with the English people, much in the way that they too fell in love with her. While Henry was off in France, she won a decisive victory in the biggest Anglo-Scottish battle in recorded history at the Battle of Flodden; riding to meeet with and rouse her soldiers in full armour... while also being heavily pregnant.

Beloved for her compassion and mercy, empathy for the poor and a sizzling hot topic among the court for her 'radical' beliefs and support of the budding Renaissance, Catalina had it all... except the one thing Henry wanted so desperately. A son. Out of their many children, only Mary survived infancy. A daughter. And the King's eyes were now wandering further and further away, as he became distant, cold and even abusively explosive towards his wife.

Culminating in the infamous move that would change the face of religion in England inconceivably; the splitting of the English Church from the Vatican, with Henry at its helm, free to divorce Catalina and marry Anne Boleyn instead. Stripped of her crown and even her daughter, Catalina lived her final years in misery; feeling like little mroe than a prisoner in a gilded cage. Still adored by the people she'd come to love, in spite of everything.

Still carrying the air and dignity of a true Queen of England 'til the end.

Personality

Saber is in many ways the living embodiment of what a great queen should be. Kind and compassionate with a warm and soothing voice, she is a well-educated woman of many talents. A pious woman throughout life, her faith is still strong even as a Servant; she’ll not leave to do battle without first praying to God for protection and will often request ‘confessionals’ with her Master if she has killed an enemy Servant, out of remorse and guilt. If possible? Mercy is always her first and preferred approach. It had been Catalina’s mercy, after all, that saved the lives of the rebels on the Evil May Day.

A patron of the Renaissance, she has a keen interest in the topics of humanism and the rights for the common man to be able to learn to read and write. Especially women. It would be accurate to call Saber a feminist foundation-layer, for her willingness to commission and put her name on inflammatory-at-the-era texts that argued women should be afforded basic rights such as education. Her disdain towards sexism is especially shown towards her ex-husband. The textbook definition of “sexist, predatory lech”.

Beneath Catalina’s silk, however, there is steel and the fiery, passionate zeal of a Spaniard. At the drop of the hat, she is willing to be as loud as any King. She is defiant in the face of adversity against even certain defeat and an inspiration to those around her for her impassioned words and her unyielding conviction. She has modelled herself off of the old stories she’d heard about her mother’s push to reunify Spain as well as legendary champions of her home country, such as El Campeador himself and the English champions of lore such as King Arthur.

Born a Spanish princess and married into the English crown, Saber loves both of her countries deeply, in spite of everything. She adores her family and is proud of her heritage as a descendant of God’s champions in the Iberian Peninsula. But she also loves the English people who accepted her with wide open arms. Truly, the only individuals whom she can truly say she hates are those responsible for the unravelling of her life. Above all else? ‘Happy Prince Harry’. Henry VIII.

Her wish upon the Grail? In all honesty, the prospect of beholding such a revered artifact for herself is intimidating. But if there were one desire in her heart? It would be that Arthur - her Prince of Wales - could have lived, Maybe life would have been so much happier. Their family so much larger. Maybe so much blood would not have been spilt by the Tudor legacy...

Relationships

Henry VIII: “Ah. Henry… ‘darling’. How truly… wonderful it is to see you again… mygodyou’vegottenfat. At least now your grotesque, repugnant husk of a body matches your wretched, lustful and bestial soul.”
Mary I: “Oh, my darling girl; your devotion is truly admirable.” (beat) “I say this as your mother who loves you dearly, however, my dear… religious reform may be achieved more easily with a lot… fewer… bonfires.”
Anne Boleyn: “...I may loathe you, you may loathe me. But in spite of your ambition’s costs on my life? Nobody deserves that brutal a betrayal.”
Elizabeth I: “Ah. You are… her daughter, are you? Y-You have your father’s hair, for sure. Maybe a little too much of his bloodlust too, ‘Gloriana’...”
Isabella I: “...mi madre… I missed you so much, mi madre. Life has-” [sniffles] “-it… has not been the easiest… s-since you…”
Catherine the Great: Fast friends and virtually sisters. Highly capable queens compensating for the immaturity of their royal husbands? Been there, done that.
El Cid, Artoria Pendragon: An internal squeal of fangirlish glee. The great patrons of her beloved home nation are the epitome of ideals she aspires to meet.
Any French Servant: Will try and lay down the smack talk initially. Old instincts die hard; she WAS Spanish-born and had to play ‘King of England’ for a while, after all.
Any Scottish Servant: “Oh? Must I teach your kin this lesson again?”
Boudicca: “Oh? This is your sword? Lo siento, here you go-ah? Wait, you wish I keep it? … you truly see me as…?” [smiles] “Queen of England, hmm? G-...Gracias.”
Robin Hood: "You seem... strangely familiar. You remind me of a merry man and his forest folk. Who I once recruited to help curb my husband's ego."*

*This is a reference to the oft-forgotten story, Robin Hood and Queen Katherine. Katherine of Aragon is often suspected of being the very same Queen as mentioned in the story; however, the Robin Hood she knew was not one of the "Green Men of Sherwood", as that lineage had ended with Marian (in my take), so he did not live in opposition to the crown nor bear the No Face Mya King cloak.

A King of Portugal lived during the 14th century. A good administrator that cares toward the minority and resists the influence of the Church and neighboring kingdoms. His 10-year reign was remembered as largely peaceful in comparison to his predecessor’s turbulent time and well-loved by the people. Earning his title, The Just.

However, his reign is also filled with personal tragedy and vengeance over the assassination of his mistress, becoming the source of Portugal’s national epic - The Lusiads.

The reign of Afonso IV — his father — can be described as turbulent. It was filled with dishonors, insurgencies, civil wars, and foreign affairs. Like many medieval kings, such a situation requires him to be ruthless to protect his country and rule.

One of his father’s policies is to marry Pedro with Constanza Manuel, a Castilian noblewoman, to secure an alliance. But the prince fell in love with her beautiful lady-in-waiting, Inês de Castro, and they quickly entered an affair. This relationship displeases the king and his court, who see the potential threats of uprising from the powerful House of Castro.

Then Constanza died, and Pedro started to openly declare his relationship with Inês and refused to remarry multiple times. This disrespectful act can enrage the Kingdom of Castile, and the king can’t risk another war.

————————— A necessary evil must be done.

Some stories depict Inês and her children being dragged to the king, or he simply sent three men to carry out the assassination, but one thing consistent is the poor woman was brutally decapitated in front of her child.

When this cruel act was made known to the prince, grief and rage completely overflowed his bounds, and he forgot every consideration and all respect due as a vassal, prince, and son. He alongside the brothers of Inês openly raised up a rebellion against the royal throne and attacked many dominions owned by those involved with the assassination for a year until the queen persuade him to sign a peace treaty, including to let the assassins free.

Alfonso IV died, and Pedro succeeded him as a king.

As a king, Pedro I is a capable ruler that executed his father’s policy well and handled foreign powers magnificently. He understood when and which kingdoms to appeal, how to resist the papacy powers over his country without risking inviting their wrath.

However, he took advantage of the short alliance with Castile and exchanged the assassins that fled there and personally executed two of them with his own hand. Domestically, it is documented that he handles the legal system provokingly with his extensive use of torture, no matter how big or small the offense. All of these earned him the title, The Cruel.

He then posthumously declared Inês as the queen. And according to a legend, he exhumed her body and placed her on the throne, dressing her in queenly attire and ordering all of his vassals to kiss the hand of the deceased queen.

He is unable to execute the third assassin as the latter successfully escaped the execution. He then continues to dutifully fulfill his role until the end of his reign and dies on his deathbed.

But was that all of Dom Pedro’s crusade of love?

A very interesting heroic take on Catherine of Aragorn!

The skills fit and English Rose is an interesting skill since it's more an inspirational one than a direct buff, given it doesn't buff the skills you'd expect of a Saber class. It makes a nice case for her as a Heroic figure and gives her skills that mostly fit a supportive frontline Saber rather than a strictly offensive one and does a nice job conveying her personality and charisma despite her unfortunate fate. The Robin Hood story was a neat piece of trivia too, as I hadn't known that.

Donar I'll have to read through at length, since I'm not familiar with that story hm...

And yay, you posted Pedro, Sparta! That was a very creative take, given the overlap with Avenger and the rationale provided. The skill concepts are really original as is the connection with Inez' nature and "support." Definitely never a cooperative Servant, at least not really, but that also suits that take on his character.

He'd be really effective at a mean unexpected betrayal given the gallant personality but the complete lack of forgiveness or connection.

Assassin

"Once again I have cut a worthless object..."

True Name: Ishikawa Goemon
Epithet: "The Bandit Chief of Kansai"
Origin: Legendary
Region: Japan (16th Century)
Hidden Attribute: Earth
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Likes: Smoking, Women
Dislikes: Being Insulted, Despotism
Talents: Larceny, Poetry
Natural Enemy: Toyotomi Hideyoshi

Parameters:
STR: (C) END: (D) AGI: (B) MGI: (C) LCK: (E) NP: (C)

Character

Assassin takes the form of Ishikawa Goemon, the legendary outlaw who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Tall and muscular, Goemon has an imposing figure especially when he obscures his face with his straw hat during his highway robbery. His blood-splattered sword and ragged clothing gave him the aura of demon which chilled even the bravest of feudal lords and convinced them to part with their valuables lest they be struck down next after their fallen samurai bodyguards.

Although he revels in his reputation as an infamous outlaw, in a more relaxed setting, Goemon is a much more down to earth figure. A laid back man who enjoyed nothing more than smoking his oversized pipe on top of the Sanmon Gate whilst admiring the scenery. His sarcastic barbs and shameless flirting with women make him hard to like personally, but his commanding voice and quick thinking during the heat of action shows why he had charisma and became the leader of a bunch of thuggish bandits. Though he will not admit it, he still holds great pride in himself as a (former) member of the Iga Clan and will not tolerate insults towards the profession of Ninja. This can prove his downfall as his ability to win depends heavily on him maintaining his cool and anaylsising the situation for the best strategy. Therefore Goemon has to avoid rising to provocations at all costs lest his blind rage destroy him once again.

Goemon finds it ironic that despite his attempts in life to build himself up as a figure of terror, later generations have romanticised him as a picaresque hero. As a self professed "Mr Bad Guy" he enjoys petty actions like eating food without paying, spying on attractive women and is generally loathe to do anything virtuous unless it's a direct order from his Master. Even his famous act of "robbing the rich, giving to the poor" was merely a begrudged action to keep the oppressed peasants on his side so they would give him and his men shelter without fear of being handed over to the authorities. However, even with the "Evil" Alignment Goemon was a far lighter shade of gray than Hideyoshi and has several lines he simply will not cross. Namely that he will not harm a child in any way even on the orders of his Master, but also other matters of honour such as not laying a hand on a woman out of respect for his late wife. If something can truly move his heart then Goemon might even be motivated to do something heroic once more just like at the end of his life.

When it comes to fighting in a Holy Grail War, Goemon is in an unfortunate bind as his assassination abilities are limited compared to others in his Class and he wouldn't fare much better in head to head combat against the enemy Servants. Under no illusions as to his chances, Goemon throws aside all notions of "pride" and "honour" and instead puts all of his efforts into fighting as dirty as he can. Explosive tags, smoke bombs, hidden wires, poison darts...every Ninja tool in his arsenal gets put to good use, though most of these are mere annoyances to enemy Servants they serve to push the enemy into the perfect spot for a surprise slash from Goemon and his katana. Most of the battles will be trying to survive with this hit-and-run strategy, although Goemon isn't completely above targeting the enemy Master so long as they aren't a woman or child.

When asked about his Wish upon the Grail, Goemon becomes unusually serious as he turns to face away from his Master. With a quieter voice he says that the only wish he has would be to save his wife Otaki from her fate at the hands of Hideyoshi's assassins. He would give up the life of a bandit in a heartbeat if it meant that both his wife and son would live happy and safe lives.

Skills

Class Skills

Presence Concealment - (B)
The capacity for a Servant to hide one's presence and become undetectable by the five senses in order to preform both reconnaissance and stealth attacks. It is a common Class Skill of the Assassin class. Even if he did not finish his training as a Ninja, Goemon's ability in stealth tactics was no slouch and was boosted by his experience as a bandit. However, the Rank of the Skill will drop when launching an attack even on an unsuspecting enemy.

Ruffian - (C)
A composite Skill of Riding and Independent Action - both of which at the corresponding Rank. This Skill represents the symbol of villainous outlaws who lie in wait for ignorant travellers and then swoop down on horseback to rob them of their valuables. As a self-described "bandit squeezed into the Assassin Class" it can be considered Goemon's true Class Skill. As an added on bonus, it has the effect becoming stronger during assaults on enemy encampments through Plus Modifiers.

Personal Skills

Eye of the Mind [True] - (B)
A heightened capacity for observation, refined through training, discipline and experience. A danger-avoidance ability that utilizes the intelligence collected up to the current time as the basis in order to predict the opponent’s activity and change the current situation. The life of a bandit is a constant dance with death as they fought with the law on a constant basis. Therefore so long as Goemon can calmly analyse his situation mid-battle and there is at least a 1% of a comeback, this Skill greatly improves the chances of winning or escaping from a predicament.

Ninjutsu - (B)
The general term for the secret intelligence techniques, combat techniques, torture techniques and so on - all employed by ninjas. Its system differs between each school but the Skill essentially remains the same. As Goemon was personally training in the art of Iga-Ryū by the Clan's Grandmaster Momochi Sandayu, he has a well-rounded knowledge of the ways of the Ninja that he put to good use throughout his life such as during the assassination attempts on both Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, due to Goemon being kicked out of Clan for misdemeanours his training was left incomplete and as a result the Rank of the Skill is not as high as it could have been.

Sticky Fingers - (A)
The ability to covertly "steal" something either from one's surroundings or from a person, even if the user did not make direct contact with the target. As one of many people who symbolised the act of "robbing the rich to give to the poor", Goemon has conceptualised this talent into a Skill. Useful for taking food without paying, grabbing an improvised weapon or even taking away a Servant's weapon...however for Goemon the true challenge lies in stealing a lady opponent's underwear without them noticing. The probability of triggering this Skill is calculated by a differential between Goemon's Agility and his Luck Parameters, plus if his target is on an enemy Servant than he has to also compete against their own Luck-Check.

Noble Phantasm

Goemonburo
"The Cursed Katana of the Black Flame"

[Type - Anti Unit], [Noble Phantasm Rank - C], [Maximum Range - 5 Metres], [Maximum Number of Targets - 1-3]

Originally a enchanted sword belonging to the Iga-Ryū Grandmaster Momochi Sandayu. Goemon stole it the night he was kicked out of the Iga Ninja Clan and carried it with him for the rest of his life. However as Goemon was being boiled alive in the iron cauldron, his blood and hatred were seared into the katana's blade by the extreme heat, turning it into the cursed sword - Goemonburo.

Now crystallised as a Noble Phantasm, a spectral Black Flame wraps around the blade making it as if it never left the boiling cauldron all those centuries ago. Anything that comes into contact with the sword's blade will feel the heat and be burned, thus raising the cutting capacity beyond a normal katana like a hot knife through butter. In addition, if an enemy Servant suffers a direct strike by Goemonburo they will have to undergo a Luck-Check and if they fail will suffer Burn damage.

However as Goemon himself is not a Servant that typically fights head-on, he often finds other nonconventional uses for this Noble Phantasm. The most common tactic would be to use the sheer heat from the blade to start a fire (especially in places like forests) and smoke out the enemy. Other tactics include catching the enemy in razor wire attached to the sword and sending the Spectral Flames down via conduction, or luring the enemy into a body of water and sticking the sword into it to boil the opponent to death to name a few. Naturally Goemon gets annoyed when his Master asks to use the sword to help boil some tea, only to hypocritically use it to light his tobacco pipe instead.

As a final last resort, Goemon can launch a suicidal final attack whereby he absorbs the Black Flame onto himself and charges the enemy. This final stage exists to re-enact Goemon's final minutes burning to death in the iron cauldron so as a result it inevitably kills him after three minutes and cannot be stopped once activated. Thus all Goemon can do is keep charging forward and relentlessly attack like the hellish demon he now looks like. The purpose of this transformation is not unlike the Mad Enhancement Skill, the pain of slowly dying robs Goemon of all fear and pain as he attacks and the more damage done to him in this state only increases his rage further. Plus as his entire body is engulfed in the Black Spectral Flame, touching any part of him will automatically inflict Burn damage so Goemon can punch, kick and even if his arms are cut off he can simply tackle the enemy and keep headbutting them until he eventually expires. Truly an inglorious end befitting that of an villain...

Lore

Originally born Sanada Kuranoshin to a samurai family serving the powerful Miyoshi Clan in Iga Province, when he was 15 years old Sanada saw his entire family killed by the men of the Ashikawa Shogunate, the young man swore vengeance and sought out the Iga Clan's Ninja Grandmaster Momochi Sandayu. After proving himself, Sanada was trained in the ways of Iga-Ryū Ninjutsu and over many years rose through the ranks of the clan. However Sanada's training was left incomplete due to being caught sleeping with his master's lover and he was subsequently chased out of the Clan. However this was a blessing in disguise as the Iga Clan was almost completely wiped out by Oda Nobunaga shortly after, including Momochi Sandayu. Despite their animosity, Sanada decided to avenge his fallen master by sneaking into Nobunaga's fortress and poisoning her tea. However a stroke of luck saved Nobunaga at the last second and after realising the attempt on her life she made sure to break up all the Ninja networks in Japan (other than the insular Fūma Clan) thus preventing Sanada from finding any work as a Ninja.

To avoid starvation, Sanada gathered up all the Ronin and Ninja out of work and formed a group of bandits that robbed the rich feudal lords, merchants and clerics, and sharing the loot with the oppressed peasants. As the leader of this infamous group of bandits, Sanada took on the new name of "Ishikawa Goemon". As the years passed Goemon started to settle down by taking a wife named Otaki who not long after bore him a son called Gobei. However as the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, he made a point to stamp out any sources of power that might pose a threat and so he sent men to Goemon's house and they killed his wife Otaki and captured his son Gobei.

In retaliation, Goemon had his bandits nobly sacrifice themselves by launching a frontal assault on Fushimi Castle whilst Goemon himself stealthed his way in from the back. However a moment of blind vengeance sealed the tragedy of that night as Goemon decided to assassinate Hideyoshi first and foremost instead of simply rescuing his son Gobei. But when he unlocked the door to Hideyoshi's chamber, Goemon had unknowingly triggered a mystical incense burner and alerted the entire castle to his presence. Despite his best efforts, Goemon was captured and taken to the front of the main gate of the Buddhist temple Nanzen-ji where a large iron cauldron was placed and filled with boiling oil. Goemon and Gobei were dropped into the cauldron but right at the last second, Goemon used all of his strengths to break through his restraints and grabbed Gobei to hold him above the oil at all costs. Even through all the pain and as the light was fading from his eyes, Goemon stiffened his muscles to keep Gobei from harm. The audience who had gathered to watch the execution watched as the dying man's strength began to falter and the child lowered inch by inch closer to the boiling oil tinted red with the father's blood. Eventually the crowd couldn't take it any longer and they called for the boy to be forgiven in the face of Goemon's valour which Hideyoshi capitulated to.

One of the Gigas from the Gigantomachia, although she was born with immense strength she lacked in all other aspects and wanted nothing more than sleep the day away in nature rather than dominate and kill, lacking the tools to enslave her and with the fight against the Olympian Gods coming up the Gigas abandoned Damasen as she slept the entire war away. Post it she would be found by Eris and Eileithyia, the former would use Damasen as amusement, the gigas simple actions sending droves of phantasmal into panic fit the goddess of discord's moods while the latter would find delight in being needed again and thus attended to every need of Damasen without complaint, even arming her with a divine shield for protection and so a dangerous mythical forest was tamed (subdued) all so the tyrant could sleep the days away peacefully

Eventually a tribe of humans would settle nearby and worship Damasen as a lesser god, even in her paradise Damasen was lonely, Eris saw her as a weapon and Eileithyia only saw a child to take care of instead of an equal and so Damasen restrained her wrath at their invasion and watched their daily lives. Interest increased as they molded themselves after her, bathing in the blood of beasts and mastering the spear alongside the shield and thus Damasen became a protector, slaughtering the phantasmals of her forest so she could garb her followers with mighty strength. One day two of her favorite humans Tylon would find himself near death and so Moria, his sister, pleaded vengeance. Answering the prayer the giant wrestled with a dragon and slaughtered him with the very spears of the earth (roots), but as he did so the dragon's mate fed him an herb of revival and begging for mercy they gifted Damasen with the same herb. Reviving Tylon, Damasen continued living peacefully among humans until the skies trembled with thunder and wind, Zeus' rage made manifest for two herbs were stolen from his garden and feeling Tylon's body entwined with its juice he sent down divine punishment only for Damasen to block the barrage of thunders, raging further he sent down more punishments and so did Damasen with spear and shield endured the barrage until Eileithyia convinced her father to stop but alas it was too late. Damasen was dead, but standing proud and none of her people or the forest were harmed

A King of Wild garbed in the finest clothing of Olympus, clothing that Eileithyia didn't use anymore, nonetheless their radiance alone convinced many she had divinity. Her lands reflected her moods, if the King was calm then prosperity would rain but if angered the earth would shake and the beasts would grow violent. Simplistic but not foolish, efficiently executing her tasks to go back to her sleep, even if the cost of efficiency was tyranny and slaughter she would engage into it. In short a person whose good and evil balance in a swing in accordance to how slothful she is feeling, but earnest feelings will be answered in equal intensity in a backhanded destructive way

Thanks for the kind words ^^!

As for Mana Burst, I saw it as a very powerful Skill that only ultra-skilled or divine individuals could possess, though his sword continues repairing and his cheat magical energy supply could help him compensate for his lack of it.

As for his double class, it is based on Strange Fake's Alcides Distortion instead of Double Summon, though the source is not from Grail mud but instead the Demoness' corruption.

I don't know what kind of canon Grail War he should be in but I do imagine him in my own original setting.

Catherine of Aragon - A very interesting and heroic take on the character! I find the whole Tudor dynasty interesting but couldn't think of a way to make her a servant. You've proved me wrong and I am thankful.

Pedro - This might just be the most interesting take on the man I've seen here.

Great job both of you!

Three bodied Geryon 'son' of Chrysaor and Callirrhoe, similar to her parent, Chrysaor, she is someone who dances in the border of monster and divinity. In this case this has manifested as a single soul managing three bodies to terrifying effectiveness. Raising phantasmal red cattle alongside her nephew (Orthus) and grandson (Eurytion) praised even by the gods they passed the days peacefully in the wilderness

For his tenth labor Herakles would have to obtain the famed cattle of Geryon, infamous for boasting of it as her most precious nature Herakles knew Geryon would not surrender those to him at any cost as such he prepared to steal them but was ambushed by Orthus, slaying the beast caused a ruckus that had Eurytion investigate whom was equally slain. Raging Geryon took her shield and spears and attempted to slay Herakles driving him to the edge of the River Anthemus. In the Geryoneis it is said Athena aided Herakles and granted him the chance to shot Geryon with a hydra-poisoned arrow and due to Geryon's nature the symptoms of one body spread to the others and they died in great agony. It's unknown if Athena's intervention is true or not but the history of bad blood between her and Medusa lends some credence to the theory

Although the three bodies have different personalities they are of one mind and in constant synchronization, what one sees/feels so do all the others, as such Geryon developed a tactic to read people, each of the bodies act in a certain way to gather reactions and measure people. The youngest is a spoiled princess boastful of her monstrous blood, the middle a stern commander of warriors coldly prioritizing victory above all and the eldest is a seductive and sadistic. A master whom can endure the harassment of the three and maintain a level of calm will be considered a vassal instead of battery
