Class: Ruler
True Name: Constantine the Great, The Thirteenth Apostle: Holy Sword Emperor
Origin: Historical Fact
Height/Weight: 184cm/72kg
Alignment: Lawful Good
Personality: A paragon of Christendom who desires the salvation of all, friend or foe. A benevolent ruler whose goodwill surpasses his ambition. A warrior of strong conviction who fights for his beliefs. Acts somewhat as a guide for his allies, advising them not to stray from the light and serving as an exemplar for what he believes is right. As this form embodies the idea of Constantine being a saint, his nature as an ambitious emperor has been sealed. Actually a mama's boy, but he won't admit it.
Backstory: The first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity, Constantine the Great brought a new age of prosperity to the dying empire. Guided by the will of God, Constantine managed to unify all of Rome under his rule before building a new capital in the colony of Byzantium, renaming it into Constantinople; the landmark for the new Byzantine Empire, which had prospered for over a millenia. A shining pillar of light who had built the holiest place in Christendom, it was through his countless contributions to Christianity that Constantine was named The Thirteenth Apostle, and that Christianity had become the greatest religion in the world.

Magic Resistance EX: A shining star of Christendom, Constantine demonstrates phenomenal anti-magic capabilities. Simply put, Constantine is capable of averting all forms of "Pagan" Magecraft from himself through his steadfast sanctity. In other words, he is a saint incapable of being touched by Magecraft even from the Age of Gods. However, this skill is unable to cope with the sacraments of the Church.
True Name Discernment B: During a direct encounter, a Servant's true name and entire status information will be automatically revealed. In regards to Servants capable of masking their identity or presence, a Luck check is performed.
God's Decision -: The highest privilege of the Ruler class, granting Command Spells- which are normally used by Masters- to command the Servants of a Holy Grail War.

— Personal Skills —
Charisma B: A rare skill consisting of both personal charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify a nation or army. At this rank, one can lead a nation as its emperor. The morale of military forces lead by Constantine is extremely high.
Imperial Communion EX: A skill unique to Constantine the Great and a mutation of the Imperial Privilege skill possessed those who would call themselves "Emperor". As the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity as well as the builder of countless holy sights and collector of many holy relics, Constantine is capable of consecrating anything that is held by him. Through both his own insistence as well as his immense piety, all items that are wielded by Constantine can be raised to the rank of Holy Sacraments. It could be said that this skill stems partially from Constantine attempting to imitate the abilities of his mother, though he'll deny such claims outright when brought up and attempt to change the subject.
Revelation B: An ability to "hear the voice of heavens" and take optimum action; a Skill equivalent to Instinct, a sixth sense regarding battles. However, this skill accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal (for instance, choosing the most suitable path while traveling). As one who has received countless visions of foretold victory both from the Lord as well as the many gods and goddesses who adored him, Constantine has a naturally high rank in this skill. It is through these visions that lead Constantine to the land where he had built a new capital of Christendom...
Protection from Arrows A: The increased awareness and defense against ranged attacks. In Constantine's case, his helmet, which was made with one of the holy nails used for the crucifixion of Christ, was given the blessing of "protection from harm" by Saint Helena, Constantine's mother. As Constantine doesn't wear his helmet or armor, this blessing was moved to his belt through the use of his Imperial Communion skill. Because of the nature of this particular blessing, Constantine does not require visual confirmation in order to defend against ranged attacks. As long as the attack is a thrown type (such as arrows), even Noble Phantasms can be avoided. However, Constantine does not gain the effects of this protection if the projectile were to explode on impact, if the attack was performed in a matter where range would be considered a non-factor, or if it was performed by a weapon that has simply long reach, such as a spear.

— Armaments —
Through the use of his Imperial Communion skill, Constantine is capable of utilizing the various blessings of the holy relics he has obtained in life, including his helmet and his bridle, although he is incapable of reproducing or otherwise using the properties of great Noble Phantasms, such as a particular spear. Constantine's main weapon is the Chi-Rho, an ornate blade which status has been raised to that of a Holy Sword endowed with the blessing of "promising victory". Constantine's clothes have also been granted numerous blessings, allowing them to serve as armor suitable for combat.

lol wip, but its a nice church and an even nicer city i guess

Class:
Archer

True Name:
Neithhotep

Origin:
Historical Fact

Height/Weight:
171cm/59kgs
5'6/130lbs

Appearance:
A tall woman, with long black hair and distinct, clear blue eyes that would remind one of the Nile. With dark skin, a muscular build, Neithhotep would be physically imposing to most. She dresses in fine golds and white silks, indicating her status as a Pharaoh, sporting a red crown of jewels upon her head as an avatar of Neith.

Alignment:
Lawful Neutral

Personality:
Being the avatar of both a creator goddess, and a goddess of War and Hunting, Neith can somewhat severe in her behaviors. She appears and behaves as she did during the later half of her life, when she was raising both Djer and Hor-Aha into proper pharaohs. Neithhotep is a severe woman. Harsh words abound, especially so when berating those for doing something irredeemably idiotic, yet also has an incredibly motherly side to her when it comes to children and those she sees as family. Harsh on those she loves, yet will stalwartly protect and teach no matter what.

She likes engaging in shows of physical prowess and strength, most notably hunting - even getting a bit carried away at times. If she has one thing that makes her angry, its when people disobey their mother dearest. Of course, she realizes she is not in fact, most peoples mother, but her natural maternal instinct is rather strong. She does however, consider herself a mother to all Egyptian heroic spirits that come after her.

Backstory:
Not much is known about what is one of the earliest records of a female monarch in history. A Regent in the first dynasty of Egypt, who grew to power as a Pharaoh in her own right. First thought to be a male due to the unusual size of her tomb and royal decorations, she was supposedly the wife of Narmer, the first Pharaoh of Unified Egypt, and later Regent for her grandson.

Reality isn't too far from the historical records.

Consort to Narmer, Neithhotep quickly stood out among others due to her beauty, artistry with a loom, and her desire to hunt. Her early life consisted of sneaking out from her duties with the priestesses and religious folk in favor of hunting and the battlefield, which is where she met Narmer, future Pharaoh of a unified Egypt.

Narmer took her as a consort for such reasons - believing her to be an incarnation of Neith. Something that would greatly aid the fledgling first dynasty. Neithhotep was both strong willed, confident, and had a natural talent for almost everything she did, it seemed, whether it be leading men hunting or attending to governmental affairs with Narmer. Whens he gave birth to her first son, Hor-Aha, she did nothing but want to protect him.

Perhaps this over eagerness to rule, lead, and protect, was why things ended as they did.

Neithhotep held no true desire to rule as a Pharaoh, at least to start with. No, she just wanted to protect her child like any mother would. Wanted the best for them, and as such she did everything in her power to assure Hor-Aha was raised in a manner befitting of a Pharaoh. After all, she had seen everything Narmer had done, all she had to do was raise Hor-Aha to be greater...but that would also mean putting him in danger.

It is said Hor-Aha had a long, successful reign. Opened trade, craftsmanship flourished under his rule, and even mad expeditions outside of Egypt during that time. Unknown to most however, these all happened at Neithhoteps suggestion and action. Hor-Aha, was little more than a figurehead for his mother most of his life, and when he died leaving a child behind - her grandson, Djer, she was instated as Regent.

As a natural course of events, of course.

From there Neithhotep went on to become a Pharaoh in her own right, being fairly popular whilst simultaneously raising Djer as well, just as her own son. Yet, he was far less easily controlled by his mothers ill perceived motions to protect and rule. He made it known quite clearly, he would be Pharaoh one day, much to Neithhoteps chagrin. She ruled for a little over two years, efficiently running the country, until the day came when Djer was to take the throne.

She refused, stating he was nothing but a child and he should let his mother handle it.

She was forcibly removed from the throne of Pharaoh, and walked into the desert for a final hunt.


STR: B+| END: B| AGI: A| MAG: C| LCK: C| NP: A


Independent Action A
Being a creator goddess, and an Pharaoh, you honestly think she'd take orders from anyone? A skill denoted by a high ability to act without a master's constant supply of magical energy. However, even so to unleash a magically draining Noble Phantasm, one would need backup from a master or other source. Allows a servant to maintain form without such a source, for a time.

Magic Resistance B
An innate resistance to magic, which makes most spells completely ineffective against her. Even greater magics would have trouble actually affecting her, and most would find their effects diminished greatly.


Divinity B
The Avatar of the Creator and Goddess of the hunt, and mother of Ra, Apep, and Sobek. Neithhotep has been granted a high level of divinity because of it. Most notably, borrowing from her divine nature as the mother of crocodiles and Sobek. This allows her to summon Neith's offspring as Divine Beasts to do her desired tasks. The Crocodiles are hunting dog like familiars that assist her on the hunt. They may be slightly slow on land, but in any aquatic environment they gain various rank ups in stats that could make them a considerable threat to most servants.

Doubly, this allows her access to her true armament as an archer - the Goddess' Neith's loom that she used to Weave the world into existence, and uses to weave a new world each dawn. She rarely uses it however, outside of the need to activate her true Noble Phantasm. The Loom can fire a number of large harpoon like arrows from its strings.

Guidance of the Unseen Sky B
A blessing from Neith. Neithhotep was gifted with a form of Clairvoyance. A god that is the 'Opener of the Ways'. No matter what one is doing, it allows them to see the optimal path forward in order to accomplish whatever it is they set out to do and lead their followers to victory be it in hunting, battle, and leadership. A composite skill of Charisma and Clairvoyance. Less powerful than true Clairvoyance, and its ability shines during battle, allowing her to predict and plan an optimal path to victory regardless of the circumstances.

Battle Continuation C
A skill that allows for a continuation of battle despite sustaining mortal wounds, and reduces the mortality rate of injury. learned in her early years as a huntress in Egypt, and strengthened by her divinity to manifest as a skill.

Motherly Affection C
A skill brought about by Neith's own influence as a creator goddess, and Neithhotep's own motherly tendencies. A rather odd skill that boosts an allies mental resistances and interference, and can remove such interference from allies while bolstering their resolve. Just listen to mother and everything will be okay. 'Affection' can either be loving words or a sharp disciplining. Best not to anger mother dearest, yes?

— Armaments —
Neithhotep's main armament is a highly decorated hunting Harpoon that doubles as a holy scepter, decked in gold and decorative inlays befitting of any Pharaoh. Despite looking like a melee weapon, they are in fact the 'arrows' for her Loom and are as sturdy as any Noble Phantasm. She doesn't really care, and she often uses it in close quarters as a spear, not really caring so much for overly ranged combat. Can lead to people mistaking her class for a Lancer of some sort.

The Nile Crocodiles that serve as her familiars.



True Name: Cosmic Loom, "The Loom which weaves the world"
Type: Anti-World
Rank: A
Range: 1~30
Maximum number of targets: 50

Neith's own Loom that she used to weave the world into existence, and that she uses daily to reweave the world and remake its future. The Noble Phantasm itself exists as both something that destroys what once was, and simultaneously heals it for a new dawn. It is, however considerably less powerful in Neithhoteps' hands.

Loading up the Loom, it fires a highly compressed jet of water towards the targets, (oddly enough, in the shape of a cow) ripping through whatever stands in its way in a matter of seconds. Doubly so, it completely drenches the area in Neith's divine waters completely remaking the field into her favor. This water has special properties, most notably, it reinvigorates those that are soaked in its divine power.

1st, the fact that Masters aren't that very fun. More often than not, they are an afterthought to players joining a Fate RP simply to try to play with a Servant concept that they fancy. Sure, every once in a while you find people who want to play a legitimate Master, but most of these are actually looking for a Fate/Zero & Stay Night like experience, where the Magi are the focus (which doesn't happen in Fate RPs since the majority of the people want some hot Servant vs. Servant action). It's impossible to find a balance unless you have a very close knit group of players and this isn't even a hyperbole. Simply scouring the vast majority of Fate RPs in this very site's casual section shows that Servant slots get filled in the blink of an eye and then people struggle to death with Masters (and then, Master/Servant pairings), sometimes literally, since I've seen countless Fate RPs die before even beginning exactly because Masters and pairing bog everything down.

The solution to this? Build a scenario where Masters are optional at worst, and completely irrelevant at best.

2nd, people have to summon "real" Servants. This one wasn't that much of a thing I had complaints about (in regards to Fate RPs) before Fate blew up so hard as a multimedia Franchise, introducing all kinds of crazy ideas and potentially awesome Servant concepts that a fandom RP player would love to try. However, whenever something really cool appears in a piece of the Franchise, you can bet that it'll be followed by some bogus caveat like "Normally, this is impossible, but for this Fate/Whatever work, it happened anyway...". Grand Order is by far the greatest offender when it comes to this to the point it's not even worth mentioning how many times that kind of statement comes up in that game. But, when you think about it hard enough even the original F/SN was composed of a majority of "Servants that should be impossible to summon normally": Medusa (anti hero), Kojirou (a Wraith/Phantom Spirit), Saber herself both in OG and Alter versions (Not being "dead" and not being "real", respectively), EMIYA (do I need to explain this guy?). Even if there were plot-related excuses for all of them to exist in the story, this is just an example of how Nasu makes lore just to break it for narrative purposes.

Bear in mind that I'm not criticizing Nasu's writing here, cringy seafood porn aside, F/SN and most of the other works of the franchise, in particular GO's latest few Singularities and main events. What I'm eternally annoyed at is seeing GMs blocking people from using ideas they want to experiment for no reason other than "Nasu said it's impossible to summon this or that, or that 'Servant X/Y/Z' doesn't exist in history, just on this specific work" or because "Person Ω is 'too strong'". I can understand it when a GM is running a game in a canon scenario like Fuyuki, the Moon (before it went totally bonkers) or Trifas, but if you are making everything from the ground up, why toss aside willing players who just want to have a good time playing your story while RPing their favorite Servants, just because of "canon purity"?

Anyway, the solution to that? Not be a hypocrite and follow my own ethos.

Technically this would make Tiamat (The Goddess Not the System that is Beast II) a viable existence. Hera on the other hand would make a pretty fun servant, being the mother of heros and all that.

That said, King Protea maintains her 'presence' as an earth mother goddess, due to having EX ranked Divine Core when manifested outside of the Mooncell

(better then being a literal living Noble phantasm)
