And when he died, she made him a god. So yeah, I'm pretty sure she liked them both enough for them to get this skill.

    Maybe lower the rank? You could make it like Medusa's Divinity went straight to E because she-monster. If Athena went disgusted by the brain-eating act.

    EDIT: Oh wait, you already did.

    At some point I feel like I should read up on Hindu mythology, just to see if all these people are as broken as people make them seem.

    I'm really bored today, so you get another overpowered Hindu Servant (sasuga me).


    Class: Caster
    True Name: Ghatotkacha
    Alignment: Chaotic Good
    Place of birth: India
    Original lifetime: 1100~500BC

    Origin
    Ghatotkacha (Sanskrit: घटोत्कच), is a character in the Mahabharata, which is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. Ghatotkacha is the son of Bhima and the giantess Hidimbi (sister of Hidimba). His maternal parentage made him half-rakshasa and gave him many magical powers such as the ability to fly that made him an important fighter in the Kurukshetra war, the climax of the epic. He got his name from his head, which was hairless (utkaca) and shaped like a ghatam.

    In the Mahābhārata, Ghatotkacha was summoned by Bhima to fight on the Pandava side in the Kurukshetra battle. Invoking his magical powers, he wrought great havoc in the Kaurava army. In particular after the death of Jayadratha, when the battle continued on past sunset, his powers were at their most effective (at night). Ghatotkach had received the ultimate boon from Krishna that nobody in all the worlds could match his magical capabilities, except Krishna himself.

    Uncharacteristically, the battle extended into the hours of darkness. Ghatotkacha, the half-asura son of Bhima, began to destroy the Kaurava forces. It was a characteristic of the asuras that they became extraordinarily powerful at night. Their magical powers were also extremely effective. Duryodhana and Karna bravely stood and fought him. Finally, when it seemed that Ghatotkacha would destroy all the Kaurava forces that very night, Shakuni and Duryodhana called upon Karna to use all means necessary. Karna engaged him in a ferocious duel, with every single warrior from both sides watching in silent awe. As Ghatotkacha began to use his skills of dark magic, Karna had to use the Vasavi Shakti, which had been gifted to him by Lord Indra in return for his divine armour and earrings. Using this weapon, Karna killed the Asura Ghatotkacha. It is said that when Ghatotkacha realized that he going to be mortally wounded by the weapon, he assumed a gigantic size. When the huge body fell, it crushed one 'Akshauhini' of military which was an ancient battle formation that consisted of 21,870 chariots ; 21,870 elephants; 65,610 cavalry and 109,350 infantry.

    Although his death was a subject of great sorrow to the Pandavas, there was a serene smile on Krishna's face. Krishna knew that, because Karna had now expended this fearsome weapon, Arjuna was no longer vulnerable to it.




    Strength: A+
    Endurance: A+
    Agility: A
    Mana: B
    Luck: C
    Noble Phantasm: A




    Class Skills:

    Territory Creation: N/A

    Item Creation: N/A

    As Asura specialize in magic that destroys rather than builds, both of the Caster Class Skills are made useless.

    Personal Skills:

    Divinity:
    A+

    One fourth human, one fourth Deva and one half Asura, Ghatotkacha has the highest attainable rank in Divinity. As part of his Asura heritage, Ghatotkacha’s powers increase immensely during the hours of the night.

    Natural Body: A

    The possession of a perfect body as a living being from birth. The owner of this Skill is treated as if his Strength and Endurance is always Rank-Up.

    High-Speed Divine Words: B++

    the power to activate Thaumaturgy without the use of Magic Circuits. The language of the Age of Gods, back when words played a heavy role in spellcasting. As such, it is power long lost by modern magi.

    A boon given to Ghatotkacha at birth by Krishna made it so that he would grow into the greatest spellcaster to ever live besides Krishna himself. This rank is upped situationally in the deep hours of the night (12AM to sunrise)

    Kalaripayattu: B

    An ancient Indian martial art. Without bearing upon strength and talent, it is the ancestor of all martial arts founded on the basis of rational thought. At this rank, one has great skill with the art, but cannot truly compare to a master of it.

    Noble Phantasms:
    Bald Pot
    The Supreme Rakshasa

    B
    Anti-Unit

    The crystallization of Ghatotkacha’s legendary toughness. Even at birth, only Arjuna armed with a magical sword could cut his umbellical cord, and he only grew tougher with age. Any attack done with a weapon not of Divine origin or above rank B will have it’s damage reduced by 80% when impacting with Ghatotkacha’s body.

    My Death Alone Shall Fell An Army
    Asura's Deathrattle: A

    Anti-Army

    Upon receiving a blow of certain death, Ghatotkacha will use his magic to assume a kilometers tall form and attempt to crush his opponent with his dying body, taking them with him in death. His gigantic form is large enough to crush a ten-thousands of men-wide military formation, and will self-immolate shortly after impact, incinerating any stragglers.

    I might have posted this one before, I honestly don't remember, but that's a wrap folks.

    Class:Saber/Rider
    True Name: Sahadeva
    Weapon: Holy Sword
    Alignment: Lawful Good
    Place of Birth: India
    Original Lifetime: 1100~600BC

    Stats:

    Strength: B
    Endurance: C
    Agility: A
    Mana: B
    Luck: A+
    Noble Phantasm: A

    origin
    In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Sahadeva (Sanskrit: सहदेव, “a thousand gods”) was the youngest of the five Pandava brothers. Nakula and Sahadeva were twins born to Madri, who had invoked the Ashwini Kumaras using Kunti's boon.

    Due to Pandu's inability to bear children (because of the curse of Rishi Kindama), Kunti had to use the boon given by Sage Durvasa to give birth to her three children. She shared the boon with Pandu's second wife, Madri, who invoked the Ashwini Kumaras to beget Nakula and Sahadeva. Later Pandu lost his life when he attempted an intercourse with his wife, Madri. The latter also immolated herself on her husband's pyre, so Nakula and Sahadeva lost both their parents at an early age. Sahadeva was the youngest of the brothers, and like the others formidable in war and observant of morality. Sahadeva was a master swordsman and described as heroic, intelligent, wise and ever wrathful, there is not another man equal unto him in intelligence or in eloquence even amid assemblies of the wise.

    It is also believed that Sahadeva was an incarnation of the great planet, Sukracharaya, the Asura Guru. It is therefore not surprising to note that he was one of the few contemporaneous persons living with Lord Krishna, like Bhishma and Vidura, to realise that Lord Krishna was the almighty Para Brahman.

    As per the Bhagavata Purana, he is one of the greatest devotees of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna once asked Sahadeva, what should be done to stop the war. Sahadeva told him that Krishna must be tied down and imprisoned and all the Pandavas along with Duryodhana must be sent to forest and Karna must be made the king. When Krishna challenged him to tie him down, Sahadeva started meditating and envisioned Krishna as a small baby and tied him down. Since Krishna could not move out of his bondage created by Sahadeva in his meditative trance, he blessed him with divine vision and Sahadeva released Krishna from the bondage.

    Although he was merely a caretaker of the army’s mounts during the Kurekshetra War, he was considered one of the greatest warriors on the side of the Pandava who slew Shakuni's son Uluka, the prince of Trigata, Niramitra and Rukmaratha, the son of Shalya. Using his astrological divinations, he was also the greatest strategist among the Pandavas.

    Upon the onset of the Kali yuga and the departure of Krishna, the Pandavas retired, leaving the throne to their only descendant to survive the war of Kurukshetra, Arjuna's grandson Parikshita.
    Giving up all their belongings and ties, the Pandavas, accompanied by a dog, made their final journey of pilgrimage to the Himalayas.

    Except for Yudhisthira, all of the Pandavas grew weak and died before reaching heaven Sahadeva was the second one to fall after Draupadi, their wife. When Bhima asks Yudhishthira why Sahadeva isn't permitted to go further and was doomed to fall into the Hells, the reason given is his pride on his wisdom and that he never thought anybody, including Krishna, his equal in wisdom.




    Class Skills:
    Magic Resistance: C
    Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.

    Riding: A+
    Creatures on the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, this does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.


    Personal Skills:

    Clairvoyance: A+
    Blessed with divine vision by Krishna, Sahadeva possesses eyes so great that their effectiveness is beyond mortal comprehension. He is capable of keeping perfect track of multiple extremely high-speed objects at a range of 15 kilometers with ease, as well as giving him limited future precognition of anything within his vision. This effect is still functional but reduced to 1/3rds of it’s strength if Sahadeva’s eyes are closed or damaged.

    Divinity: B
    The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit. One of the twin sons of the Ashvins, Sahadeva gains an increase in his Riding skill from his father’s divine horseriding skills.

    Military Tactics: A
    The greatest tactical planner of the Kurekshetra War, Sahadeva can abuse his infinite knowledge to make impossibly efficient strategic moves.

    Astrology: EX
    The inventor of the occult science of gaining knowledge of the future from the positions of the stars and planets, Sahadeva can divine events from the past, present and future with ease by using his incredible knowledge of the universe.

    Kalaripayattu: A+
    An ancient Indian martial art. Without bearing upon strength and talent, it is the ancestor of all martial arts founded on the basis of rational thought. At this rank, one has amazing skill with the art, but cannot truly compare to a master of it.

    Noble Phantasms:

    The Binder of The Almighty Para Brahman Himself
    Dhyāna: B

    Anti-Unit
    By taking a meditative position and delving deep into thought, Sahadeva synchronizes with the world and attains higher awareness of all his surroundings, extending his Clairvoyance to his other senses. While in this state, Sahadeva can restrain any opponents with unbreakable invisible bonds so long as he thinks of it. However to achieve this state, that opponent must give him some sort of coherent challenge or answer to a challenge, however vague, to tie them down, or it will not be effective.


    Pandu's Last Wish
    Innocent Kinseater: A

    Anti-Unit (Self)

    After years of Celibacy and meditation in the forest, Pandu said to all of his children that when he died they should eat his flesh. By doing so they would be blessed with great knowledge. But when Pandu died none of his sons had the courage to do so. But Sahadeva saw some ants taking a piece of flesh from his father’s body, and decided to eat that small piece. By doing so, Sahadeva gained knowledge of all events, past, present and future. However, should he ever share any of this knowledge with another human, his head will implode.

    Finally, I have a set of 7 Servant with this one.



    Personal Information:


    Class Name : Rider
    True Name : Adrastus
    Sex : M
    ale
    Alignment : Lawful Good
    Height / Weight : 178cm/77kg



    Background:
    Spoiler:
    A legendary king of Argos during the war of the "Seven Against Thebes". He was one of the three kings at Argos, along with Iphis and Amphiaraus, the husband of Adrastus's sister Eriphyle. During a feud between the most powerful houses in Argos, Talaus, Adrastus' father, was slain by Amphiaraus, and Adrastus being expelled from his dominions fled to Polybus, the king of Sicyon. When Polybus died without heirs, Adrastus succeeded him on the throne of Sicyon, and during his reign he is said to have instituted the Nemean Games.

    He reconciled with Amphiaraus in later years, albeit reluctantly, because of her sister Eriphyle's persuasion, who became Amphiaraus' wife after.

    Adrastus is most notably known as the rider of the immortal divine horse Arion, given to him by Heracles, and as the one leading the war of "Seven against Thebes" and the "War of Epigoni".

    During the time of his reign in Argos, Adrastus had learned from an oracle that he must "yoke his daughters to a boar and a lion." Confused at the oracle, he did not act upon it until one night he happened to meet Tydeus of Calydon and Polynices of Thebes, both fugitives from their native countries, near the palace of Adrastus, and came to words and from words to blows. On hearing the noise, Adrastus hastened to them and separated the combatants, in whom he immediately recognised the two men that had been promised to him by an oracle as the future husbands of two of his daughters, for one bore on his shield the figure of a boar, and the other that of a lion.

    After dampening both of the men's temper, Adrastus decided to take in both men in his patronage as a deference to the oracle's foretelling. Later, he gave his daughter Deipyle to Tydeus, and Argeia to Polynices, and at the same time promised to lead each of these princes back to his own country.

    Adrastus now prepared for war against Thebes, although Amphiaraus foretold that all who should engage in it should perish, with the exception of Adrastus. Adrastus, however, decided to ignore Amphiaraus warning in a petty manner, as his past with Amphiaraus still left wound unhealed. He then summoned heroes from Argos to lead the campaign against Thebes. Thus arose the celebrated war of the Seven against Thebes, in which Adrastus was joined by six other heroes, Polynices, Tydeus, Amphiaraus, Capaneus, Hippomedon, and Parthenopaeus.

    As Adrastus and the army approached Thebes, they sent Tydeus on ahead to try to talk Eteocles into abdicating the throne. He entered the city, defeated all the best Thebans at wresting, and killed all but one of the fifty men who were set in ambush to overwhelm him.

    In the battle at Thebes, there were seven heroes on each side, and seven gates of the city. The Thebans learned from the seer Tiresias that only if Menoeceus, Creon's son, were sacrificed to Ares could they win the war. Menoeceus gladly killed himself outside the city. The Thebans drew lots to determine which gates they would defend. Eteocles wound up defending the gate which his brother, Polynices, was attacking.

    The Thebans were soon forced from the battlefield into the city. One hero climbed atop the walls and proclaimed that even Zeus could not stop him. Shortly thereafter, he was struck by lightning. The tide of battle then began to turn against the Argives. Melanippus, one of the Theban heroes, dueled with Tydeus and both were mortally wounded. Athena obtained from Zeus a potion of immortality for Tydeus, but Amphiaraus, still angry at him for favoring the war, knew what was happening. He cut off Melanippus' head and gave it to Tydeus, who, in his rage, scooped out the brains and drank down the blood. Athena saw this when she arrived and dropped the potion in her disgust. Tydeus died, and Amphiaraus fled the scene. He was about to take a spear in the back when Zeus threw his thunderbolt, and the earth opened to swallow Amphiaraus together with his chariot.

    Eteocles and Polynices met in combat and killed each other. The battle raged on, and true to Amphiaraus' forewarning, one by one of Adrastus' companion met death in the battlefiel. The war ended as unfortunately as Amphiaraus had predicted, as Adrastus alone was saved by the swiftness of his horse Arion.

    After the battle, Creon, a king of Thebes, ordered that none of the fallen enemies were to be given funeral rites. Against his order, Antigone, the sister of Polynices and Eteocles, buried Polynices, as she was unable to let only one of his brother given proper funeral. Adrastus himself escaped to Athens to petition Theseus, the city's king, to attack Thebes and force the return of the bodies of the remaining five. Theseus initially refused, but was convinced by his mother, Aethra, who had been beseeched by the mothers of the fallen, to put the matter to a vote of the citizens. The Athenians marched on Thebes and conquered the city but inflicted no additional damage, taking only what they came for, the five bodies. They were laid upon a funeral pyre and Adrastus eulogized each.

    Ten years after that, being unable to forgive himself of his failure and decisions, Adrastus decided to amend his past mistakes and persuaded the seven sons of the heroes who had fallen in the war against Thebes to make a new attack upon that city. He made the second war against the Thebians, kown as "The War of Epigoni". Thebes was taken and razed to the ground, after the greater part of its inhabitants had left the city on the advice of Tiresias, seer of Thebes.

    The outcome results should have satisfied Adrastus. However, he only found further grieve from the War of Epigoni, as the only Argive hero that fell in this war was his son, Aegialeus. After having built a temple of Nemesis in the neighborhood of Thebes, he set out on his return home. But, weighed down by old age and grief at the death of his son, he died at Megara and was buried there.

    He was a benevolent and just king, and if only he could truly reconcile himself with his old enemy, he would've been a perfect king. As it turns out, his resentment agains Amphiaraus became the one thing that took everything he deemed precious.

    Adrastus was described as a man in mid-twenties with strong air of might and confidence. Summoned in Rider class in the Holy Grail War, he has no qualm with strategic assault from the sides or behind, but always prefer straight attacks against his enemies, as it fits his style and ability better. His Master doesn't approve of this behaviour, but can only make amends with it, much to her chagrin.



    Parameters:


    Strength : B
    Endurance : C
    Agility : A
    Prana : C
    Luck : B
    Noble Phantasm : A



    Class Skill:

    Magic Resistance : B
    Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for him to be affected.

    Riding : A
    All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts.



    Personal Skill:

    Charisma : B
    Suitable for a king of a country.

    Military Tactics : B
    Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.

    Battle Continuation : C
    Does not give up easily.
    It allows for battle even on the verge of death, and allow the user to stay alive until they receive a clearly fatal blow.



    Noble Phantasm:

    Divine War Steed
    Arion
    Rank: A
    Type: Anti-Army
    Range: 2-60
    Maximum Targets: 350 person

    The immortal warhorse known for its extreme swiftness and speed, spawn of the Lord of the Sea Poseidon and the goddess Demeter. Arion's strength is comparable to that of Pegasus, and he is faster in speed and maximum output, as he is already at the rank of Divine Beast.

    Adrastus' battle style consist nearly entirely upon mounting Arion, rushing against his enemies in variant speed. The divine horse is capable of devastating charging attacks, and when his full name as a Noble Phantasm was called upon, Arion could reach seven hundred kilometers per hour in a beat in maximum speed, leaving destructive shock waves in his trails. Adrastus can control Arion's output depending on circumstances, and the horse ability is most suited in ground combat combined with Adrastus' spatha cavalry sword play.

    Arion is special in that he is the only Divine Beast Adrastus could mount, as per Arion's permission. When mounted, Arion's Magic Resistance is stacked with that of Adrastus', making them practically untouchable to any form of magecraft.

    He could be summoned and dismissed at Adrastus' will, and when summoned, Arion arrives in a manner of speed that appears besides Adrastus out of nowhere.



    Design:

    The idea is a simple, no trick, straight ahead Servant. And I have always interested in Arion. I like imagining Adrastus as a "humane" hero; a nearly perfect hero in manner and strength, but with one fatal flaw in his personality.

    Incidentally, when not mounting Arion, he is only a bit stronger then average Servant.

    The Battle Continuation acts more like he won't give up even when beaten, and will come back for more after regrouping, rather than in a suicidal manner of Heracles' and Cu Chulainn' rank A.

    This is intended to be straight Rider, wwith no trick pony whatsoever.



    Critics are more than welcomed, but please be gentle with me. I have a fragile kokoro m(_ _)m.

    Hassan-Ih-Sabbah
    the Second

    Class: Assassin
    Alignment: Neutral Evil

    Parameters

    Strength: D
    Agility: A
    Endurance: D
    Mana: E
    Luck: B
    Noble Phantasm:

    Class Skills

    Presence Concealment: A+

    This skill represents the capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. At this rank it is possible to disappear completely and become almost impossible to be detected. However, its efficiency will decrease when preparations to attack are taken.


    Personal Skills

    Projectile (Daggers): B+

    The skill to throw projectile daggers, at this rank should they be thrown from stealth they will increase in difficulty to defect or dodge, even for the fastest of servants.


    Death Unaware, True Legacy of the Assassin: NA
    A skill of the second Hassan that represents his role in the history of the organization, it allows him to obtain a singular undetectable surprise attack on a target should conditions be met. The conditions are as follows,

    1. Vision is partially obstructed, whether be though crowds, dust, darkness, or other factors.
    2. The target must not be aware of his presence
    3. The target must not be completely focused on negating a surprise attack, even should they be simply talking to someone it will be enough of an opening for him.

    Any injuries caused by this method will be difficult to heal and will nearly always have a lasting effect, no matter how minor. After all, to not suffer death at the hands of an Assassin and to merely get away with an injury is incredibly fortunate.

    As a note, recognizing that the conditions have been met is not sufficient to disable Presence Concealment, only upon initiating the attack proper will Presence Concealment be broken and this skill untilized.


    Poison Maker: C
    Skilled in the creation of poisons, which can be tailored made to cause death in specific ways. Ranging from heart attacks, to liver failure, and so on, the method of death is chosen to better end his target. At this level none of his poisons are magical, and so antidotes are possible to be created by others with similar skills.


    Observation of Death: B
    Capable of identifying probable causes of death in a target should he observe them, allowing him to determine most effective poisons, weak points, where and when their guard is the weakest and so on. The longer the target is observed the more accurate and encompassing the results, should the target be observed for more than 24 hours his information will have 100% accuracy.



    Noble Phantasm

    Zabaniya – Delusional Murder
    Rank: B-
    Type: Anti-Unit

    Zabaniya was the name given to the weapon of Hassan-i-Sabah. Just as 'Hassan-i-Sabah' is a contradictory existence, a single identity assumed by several people, so is Zabaniya. Each Hassan kept the name and typically a certain form to it – a modification of the body – but the essence of each Zabinaya is personalized to their own tastes.

    The second Hassan’s Zanbaniya is an is a skill that is not fundamentally a modification of one’s own body or traits, but modification of another’s. Delusional Murder is a Noble Phantasm that can only be used once on any target, activated by Hassan’s hand touching them anywhere on their body. Upon coming into contact with them it causes any weakness in their body to immediately become amplified, a small cold can become a lethal disease, a bruise can become wide spread internal bleeding, and a small crack in a bone can make the whole bone turn into shards. It is a skill that modifies the abnormalities in one’s body to lead them to death. It is a Noble Phantasm that embodies Hassan’s style, nothing more than a merciless killer that targets the weaknesses of others.

    This Noble Phantasm has a downside however. Should Hassan not be aware of what he is amplifying, or should it not be made from stealth the effectiveness of this skill will be cut in half. This combined with the one use per target limitation makes it a Noble Phantasm that emphasizes strategic deployment rather than use as a trump card.


    Note: The concept of a Hassan who was a true assassin is what spawned this. It is about striking from stealth and darkness, an assassin they would only reveal itself the moment it struck.

    For the skill, wouldn't "preparation of attack reduce effectiveness" of the Presence Concealment has condition number 2 obsolete?

    If you are talking about my Rider, I do believe the NP's capability of variant speed charging attack has covered that. That's what I aimed Adrastus as; no trick, one do-it-all power Servant. After all Arion is Adrastus most notably legend power.

    It is literally the way around that. If the conditions are met he can get a surprise attack off even from Presence Concealment. That is the whole point in of the skill, to allow him to attack from stealth.

    Also the condition also includes, even if you can't detect he is there, but the enemy knows he is there, then the condition is not met. Like if he revealed himself with hit run tactics and went back to hiding to look for an opening.

    It is literally the most useless skill ever.
    Presence Concealment deactivates as soon as the servant makes moves to attack. This makes it so it effectively doesn't for a singular attack

    How is that useless?

    Sorry if I dont get this, but Servant could detect other Servant. How would this Assassin stay undetected if not for Presence Concealment?

    Hmm, but it would be inconsistent with the legend though. Gae Bolg has several legend tied with its power. Arion is only known for his speed. I dont want to stray too much of it.

    If the conditions are met it triggers the surprise attack, as in they can't detect the attack. Even if presence concealment is deactivated the moment all conditions are met he can immediately initiate the attack.

    The preparation is making the attack itself in this case, and the attack is an undetectable surprise attack. I don't see why it is hard to understand.

    I spent quite a lot with this Servant, actually. Especially with the background legend, tied in with the power. I put quite a lot of coherent motives in line with the Servant. I think it's more important to have a deep character than cool looking powers, but maybe it's just me.

    Another reason is I dont want to put in skills just for the sakes of looking cool if another skill already compensates for effectiveness, and turned useless.. I already made that mistakes with my Lancer before.
