Is Scathach still in the running? Otherwise its just Althienna and Mede, Svetleaze and Kintoki who need to choose.
Assuming Shadowkingman is no longer with us.

@PKMNB0Y Okay, I just scrolled back through the posts, and it has been a month since Shadow Kingman posted anything. I have messaged him in the past week, and he hasn't got back to me.
I think its safe to say that he's gone.
I'm going to PM him one more time tonight just in case, but otherwise... its been a month.

@Cojemo Okay, but their conception of the universe was pretty much India floating on a giant chariot wheel with various layers of heaven and hell under and above.
Karna also shakes the entire universe at one point I think. Basically Indian myth is the ancient version of Dragon Ball Z.
But, for the Astra, it would be something he could begin to implement, but then retract?

@Cojemo
So, something like widespread worldwide destruction. I want to ask, is its power regulatable? As in, can he shoot a weaker version of it at someone like Gilgamesh can with Ea? Otherwise, unless he specifically wants to wreak destruction on the world it's sort of useless.
Actually, the only things I can think of that something like that would actually be useful for, would be if there was something very large in space that he wanted to destroy, or if he was trapped inside a reality marble. Which, actually, is not that useless in something like a grail war, or against Dead Apostle Ancestors...
Also, considering the definition of the world at the time, you might say that its destructive capacity could be limited to wreaking havoc on an land area around the size and surrounding seas of India.

“I think you have our position wrong here. I am here to fight. You are supposed to make the choices, aren’t ya? Just point me at the enemy and I’ll kill ‘em for you.”
Pavel nodded slowly, still wary of this strange human looking spirit that could frighten a powerful man eating ogre with a simple look. He seemed to understand its true nature as well, and for an absurd moment he hoped that the man could not see through his personal illusions. Still, all around him the other Magi were making their decision. Determined not to be late again he turned to the wizard Marshall and said;
"Very well then. We are for Babylon."
@ADamnFiddle Hey Fiddle, I still need you to call for Babylon or Scandinavia. If you could back me up on Babylon that would be great.
For the power rankings I think they did a good job. You have stuff like Indian legends with Bhima being able to win a tug of war with 10,000 elephants, multiple super weapons being thrown around, and vast armies of demons being annihilated without breaking a sweat. Then you have Hero's from the Trojan War who are listed as being godlike fighters because they killed 15 men in one day. You need some kind of balance between these two.
Achilles is one of the most legendary warriors of all time, probably the most, and he should be able to fight Karna, even if a direct comparison of their two legends would not seem to sugest this.
@Cojemo
Sinbad: That's interesting. I did read some version of Sinbad but it was a long long time ago. I know that he has a long list of adventures, so you probably have a lot of interesting stuff that could go in there. He's a pretty nice dude in the end though, or he would never have hosted that begger that gets him telling his story to begin with.
I wonder if it would be possible to do anything with the living island sea monster that he escapes from... maybe instead of having the Roc that he can ride around, he has some sort of ability that allows him to summon and trick these various giant monsters into serving him. For example, hiding on the Rocs back and such, maybe he could do the same with the seamonster.
For Drona, I guess in a way the cat is already out of the bag on that one. Whenever you have a Heroic Spirit that's incredibly strong, anyone who contended with them in their legend must have also been similarly strong and such, so, when the Nausaverse makes one Heroic Spirit at a Alexander the Great level, they are sort of indirectly making about 6 or 7 at the same level, in the case of the Mahabharata.
Aside from the Brahmanda astra superweapon though, would you concede that Drona's not as strong as Gilgamesh?
Also, because the Indian conception of the world is radically difrent from the modern one, it is probable that the Brahmanda astra would not have the power it is said to in its legend. While Indian mythology is quite old, about 3,000 years, compared to something like the 6 or 7 thousand year old Ea the Brahmanda astra is fairly young, and would not have the same power of origin as Ea.
Im just really hesitant to concede that there would be 2 planet destroying artifacts within the world, and with one being half the age of the first. Especially when Gilgamesh states that there is no Noble Phantasm to compare with Ea.
This is another Heroic Spirit I made in the past but never had a chance to do much with: King Naresuan, the King of Thailand in the 16 hundreds. He's a great general, master warrior, hand to hand martial arts legends, gunslinger, and elephant rider.
Basically, there are not that many Elephant Rider Riders, and combined with his Kung Fu (muay thai, really) I thought he would be a really interesting versatile guy. Especially when he then pulls out pistols and has a crack at you. With his Elephant having a weapons rack on its back acting as a mini armory he would be able to engage in every form of combat, from ranged, swords, spears, hand to hand, and mounted, his mastery of all of these forms being noted in his legend.
I might need to give him some sort of personal skill that alows him to overcome the class limitations of weapon specialization though...

@PKMNB0Y I think for now we are not seriously pitching any of these, just juggling possible ideas. Hence overpowered stuff is on the table.
@Cojemo Huh. Cool selection. Sinbad would have a ship as well right? Also doesn't he have a flying carpet to? Its been a long time since I read. But yeah the Roc would definitely be his trump card, not to mention very strong.
Muramasa Sengo, I dont know much about, seems odd to have a smith as a Berserker though.
EDIT Nevermind, the guy makes blood thirsting swords. Wow.
Bloody Mary is cool. You would probably need to allow her to manifest withought having to have people say it 3 times though, or else no one would ever say it in the RP. Maybe she is just summoned once by someone saying her name 3 times and then can go wherever? Interesting...
Drona, I would have to read about him. Considering the general power of Indian legends all around though, im sure he is very strong. Some of their strength does need to be taken tongue in cheek however, or else half of all Indian Heroic Spirits would be as strong as Gilgamesh. It's a writing style thing with them that they make a lot of their Hero's very strong and having done things like slain 10,000 demons singlehandedly and such. You kind of have to balance them out in your head, or Indian legends would the strongest Heroic Spirits in every field.
Otherwise though yeah, most Indian Hero's are very strong.
Remember that you have half a dozen other Indian Heroic Spirits who are as strong or stronger than Drona, it would not be fair within the Nasuverse to have them all as Gilgamesh/Alexander/Arturia level Heroes. Those or usualy only one or two per mythological cycle.
Don Quixote would be great. He would be prime candidacy for a Reality Marble, one that made his imagination a reality, and turned him into the knight he envisions himself to be. He would also have very high luck himself, possibly EX.
So, a few Servants I have in the back of my mind that I have sort of half made, or thought about making in the past:
The two really big ones are Vainamoinen and Etana. Both are overpowered, so they would probably work best as villains if they were ever to see the light of day, that or have them suffer a major summoning mishap or something along those lines.
Vainamoinen is a Caster from the Finnish Kalevala, he's the strongest sorcerer in legend that I have come across, but also has very high physical capabilitys. Anyway he has a spell that turns the land before him into a deadly swamp that sucks people down and drowns them. His NP as a Caster is a magical harp that spits out rockin tunes so beautiful that they can be heard over long distance and mesmerize those who hear them. But basicaly, his Epic is quite long, and he has a shit ton of nifty spells and magic artifacts, to much for me to really sort through here or decide between ATM.
Etana is more viable, mostly because his legend is fairly short, and he has solid weaknesses. He's a king who lived shortly after Gilgamesh who rode to heaven on the back of a giant eagle. The key point is this eagle, you see, in the Nausaverse chronology it would be the very first Phantasmal Beast mount in human legend, which gives it tremendous import. Not to mention, it being a giant eagle that can fly into heaven as it pleases.
Basically, Etana would be a fairly mediocre Rider Servant, but he would have one of the Strongest Mounts, a Divine Beast Eagle stronger than even Pegasus or most dragons.
He also has a herb he gathered from heaven that makes people give birth. I kind of like it since it's on the more WTF side of things, but I'm thinking about reinterpreting it as an ancient herb that creates a powerful homunculus. Or, it also might becomes something related to manifesting the grail, turning people who eat it into a possible Grail Vessel like the one Medea was planning to make.
There is also this other Servant thats been under my skin for a long time, I actually made her and have played her though, but all the RP's in which I did broke down before she ever got up enough prana to do anything. The Necromancer Skuld, from the Saga of Hrolf Kraki, she's a powerfull witch who raises an army of undead vikings, yes, viking zombies, along with a shit ton of demons and other monsters. Her top summons are a giant demonic boar, and her undead husband who is a powerful berserker, who she can repeatedly resurrect if he falls.
She also controlls the weather and uses enchanted mist and storms to send her army into stealth mode.

@Cojemocare to swap? Its always nice to throw around new character ideas.
Also you never know what could happen latter on if a new slot opens up, or PK decides to expand, or wants someone to play a villan or something.
Who you thinking about making?
I have been working on a Servant Rider Etana for a while.
