@Sakaki Chizuru Was waiting on seeing more masters, but things are speeding up. Think Edward and a Welsh magus would be an interesting pair?

Fate/『 』Märchen

Berserker

Berserker

Title: “Longshanks”

Name: Edward I

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Attribute: Man

Likes: Eleanor, Tales of Knighthood
Dislikes: Bagpipes, Tartan
Talents: Intimidation
Natural Enemy: The Bruce

Bio: Edward the First of England, one of the most renowned kings of the country. After being called back from the crusades after the death of his father, Edward ascended the throne. He spent much of his reign pacifying various rebellions in Wales and Scotland, attempting to unify the kingdom through enormous wars of conquest. Under his command, William Wallace was executed, though later rebels were able to sow further discontent.

Though he was considered a good king by the English, there were various spots on his reputation even among his own people. He was considered an unpredictable Leopard rather than a regal Lion; his subordinates and family lived in fear of his temper. For the Scottish and Welsh, he was a cruel and warlike tyrant, as well as for the Jews that he systematically expelled from England.

Ultimately, he died of dysentery while marching to fight Robert the Bruce. His children were unable to finish his wars.

Parameters

STR: C+ ||| END: B ||| AGI: C ||| MAN: D ||| LCK: D ||| NP: B+

Class Skills

Mad Enhancement: E

Under normal circumstances, Berserker receives no benefits from Mad Enhancements, and reasoning is not debilitated. There are some difficulties in personality due to the class container, however.

After certain provocations, including taking damage, a Luck check is rolled, causing Berserker to wildly lash out if failed. All Parameters besides Mana and Luck are raised during the rampage.

Personal Skills

Conqueror’s Will: A+

A skill denoting the capacity to suppress the rebellious will of others. The ability of a truly intimidating king of men, enhanced by his summoning as a Berserker.

Deriving both from the anecdote of a man falling dead of shock simply due to Berserker’s intimidating presence, as well as his various military campaigns designed to crush the will of those who opposed him.

Berserker exudes a pressure towards all those who witness him, increasing in intensity towards those of a chaotic and rebellious temperament. To Servants, it is simply a pressure that inhibits thought and movement of the enemy, but to ordinary humans it can knock out or even kill those who are weak of mind and body.

Pactum Serva: A

The Hammer of the Scots. The Edict of Expulsion against the Jews of England. The similar campaign against the Welsh. Essentially, the capacity to identify an ‘enemy’ and vow to undertake a brutal war of suppression against them. So long as the enemy can be identified and conceptualised, whether a group or individual, Berserker can swear an unbreakable vow against them. Naturally, only one such vow can be undertaken at a time.

Against any enemy identified by his vow, Berserkers attacks are stronger, as if from an entity conceptually opposed to them. His pursuit of them is unending, unable to be assuaged by any mental interference, including his own outbursts of Mad Enhancement.

Instinct: C

The ability to intuit the best course of action in battle. At this rank, it serves mostly as a method of sensing unseen danger - derived from Berserker’s conflict with Assassins in his time crusading.

A skill that cannot be used while Berserker rampages, as his sheer anger overwrites his instincts. Under normal circumstances, it allows Berserker to tell where the next attack is coming from, bordering on sensing the future, but its uses are limited besides this.

Lia Fail
Plundered Stone of Destiny

Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Unit (Self), Anti-Army
Range: 0-40
Maximum Targets: 50

A portion of one of the Four Legendary Treasures of the Tuatha de Dannan. Originating in Ireland, but moved to Scotland after being split in half by the hero Cu Chulainn where it became known as the Stone of Scone, the coronation stone of Scotland. It was plundered from Scotland by Berserker after his campaign against the Scots, who altered it into a wooden throne in Westminster.

In his incarnation as Berserker, the stone is further altered into a weapon, a manifestation of the Malleus Scotus - the Hammer of the Scots. A true symbol of Edward’s subjugation, altering their own Coronation Stone into a weapon.

Though no longer in its complete form after being split, it still maintains the power to rejuvenate any rightful king who holds it. It grants both a constant surging of magical energy, and the ability of regeneration from even the most grievous injuries so long as Berserker maintains hold of the stone.

By invoking its true name, the stone ‘sings’ - though this would typically be the song of joy at witnessing the true king, under Berserker’s use it is more akin to a dirge forced by a tyrant. A song of dread akin to a sonic attack that pierces those who hear it to the very core.

Trivia:

> Berserker is a big fan of the Knights of the Round Table, remaining fascinated by their stories throughout his life. The castles he built were based on Arthurian mythos, and he held ‘round table’ events for his own knights and nobles.

> Despite his brutal tactics, Berserker despises poison due to nearly losing his arm to an Assassin’s venomous dagger in the holy lands. The use of poisoned weapons is something he can’t tolerate.

> Berserker sees himself as a true knight, and would much rather have been summoned in one of the Knight classes, all of which he qualifies for. It’s a point of some contention.

Fate/『 』Märchen

Your character is basically alright as well. But I have to ask why does he get the benefits of being considered a rightful ruler by his NP of he stole it instead of being given it rightfully?

@Parallel Hearts

Not so much stole as conquered and took as spoils of war, but the two things aren't really connected. He's the rightful king of England, and the stone offers its benefits to any rightful king, even if they aren't its proper owner. After all, it went from Ireland to Scotland to England just fine.

Fate/『 』Märchen

Hope this one works. Might need some edits.

Fate/Abyss

Got a Berserker idea, and some masters in mind. I'd be happy to join.

Fate/Glimmering Oasis (F/GO)

Troilus

“Little brother…” Troilus echoed, feeling nostalgic. Yes, this was certainly a familiar feeling. As if his brother was nearby - which perhaps he was, in a way. Maybe that feeling was why, despite the danger of his surroundings, he felt safe enough to relax.

Stupid! Allowing himself to get hit by an attack like that… Even if it didn’t hurt, even if no damage was caused - this wasn’t the sort of thing a hero should allow to happen!

And yet… Looking at that arrow, it too had that golden glow of heroism. The glow of that helmet. The glow of that sword. How confusing. Troilus turned to look at the attacker, and-

“Oh! Big brother!” It was surprising to run into one of his brothers here, but then again, he had a lot of brothers, so perhaps it wasn’t that strange. Part of his lips quirked up in a smile, but then he paused. “Why’d you attack me!?” It wouldn’t be so bad if Pandarus knew he wouldn’t have hurt him - but if that was the case, how had he known?

Still, no harm had been done in the end, and this was his beloved brother. Not his most beloved brother, certainly. Maybe in the top five, at least. Definitely top ten. Troilus allowed himself to beam. “What’s going on here, anyway? It’s dangerous. Do you know anywhere safe?”

Fate/Glimmering Oasis (F/GO)

Troilus

The city was broken. The corpses that littered the streets spewed forth horrifying sludge from faceless bodies. The buildings themselves were collapsing, too. That destruction was reminiscent, in a way, of another collapse, one that Troilus had never witnessed, but was present somewhere, deep in his mind.

It was scary. But being a hero meant moving forward, no matter how scary things got.

He looked towards his companions. There was a strange familiarity to the other Servants, though he didn’t recognise either immediately.

There was something comforting about the woman that Troilus took a moment to realise. Yes, he recognised that armour, though it looked a little different on a different person. He had polished it at various points, after all. His big brother had been a great hero, so naturally his armour, his sword and spear had been passed down onto various other heroes. That much he knew, at least. But he didn't recognise her. Perhaps she was one of the paladins of France.

The other Servant gave the opposite impression. There was a vague hint of recollection in Troilus’ mind, but he couldn’t put a name to the man. Despite the man’s calm appearance, he gave Troilus an ominous feeling. As if he was taking something away from Troilus just by existing, something important - but something that he couldn’t remember.

Then, the Master spoke. He liked her plan; he certainly wouldn’t mind some distance from that ominous Assassin, even if he was an ally. He looked towards her, smiling sweetly, with a hand held out, not as a greeting, but ready to draw her to him in a protective grasp. “I’m Saber, friend. Don’t worry, I’m here to protect you. No matter what.”

That was the sort of thing a hero should say, right?

Roy's Our Boy

Saber

True Name: Troilus
Title: Beloved Prince of Troy
Sex: Male
Alignment: Neutral Good
Source: Classical Mythology
Attribute: Sky

Likes: Horses, Family
Dislikes: Carrots, Restriction
Talents: Optimism
Natural Enemy: Achilles

Personality

A child dressed in his brother’s clothes. An innocent who simply wants to be a hero. One who acts not for revenge or even for justice, but simply with the innocent wish to save others. The type of person to act carefree and cheerful no matter the danger, since that’s simply how a hero acts. Even when faced with the realities of war, he attempts to keep a smile on his face. A brave child, though this bravery is derived from his sheltered, naive nature.

One who was beloved by all of Troy - for his innocence and beauty, but also his honest and modest nature.

He idolises his all of his brothers, but Hektor in particular. Insulting them or his memories would yield a far greater reaction that insulting him, since they aren’t there to defend themselves. Well, his anger is pretty cute, as it happens.

The idea of his killer is conceptualised as death itself. If he were to see that man again, there would be no hope of fighting back whatsoever. He is unable to conceive of any emotion but fear with regards to him.

History

The youngest prince of Troy, a child of radiant beauty beloved by his family and city. An innocent of Troy who spent much of his time playing with his sister Polyxena, and looking up to his numerous brothers and half-brothers. When the war began, he stayed behind the walls of Troy as much as possible, helping his family with the effort in the small ways he could.

It was prophesied that so long as Troilus lived, Troy would never fall. This, then was one of the various obstacles the Greeks faced in destroying the city. Not long after the war began, Athena sent Achilles to kill the young boy. For such a warrior, killing a child was of course trivial, though it was also the beginning of Achilles’ downfall. Apollo’s wrath at Achilles’ callous murder of one that he cared for lead him to plot the hero’s death, resulting in his death at the hands of Paris.

But the story of Troilus doesn’t end with his death, and the end of the Trojan war. As various writers and poets used the Trojan war as a subject, the nature of Troilus began to change. Stories of him went from a tragedy of a murdered child to tales of a valiant, romantic knight, near Hector’s equal. As such, the nature of ‘Troilus’ as a heroic spirit began to change.

Parameters

STR: B ||| END: C ||| AGI: B ||| MAN: C ||| LCK: EX

Class Skills

Magic Resistance: B

Grants protection against magical effects by cancelling them. At this rank, any spell with a chant below three verses is cancelled. It is also difficult to be affected by High-Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals that target Saber.

Riding: B

The ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Most vehicles and creatures can be ridden with above average skill, though Phantasmal Species cannot. A natural skill for a renowned lover of horses.

Personal Skills

Rosy-Cheeked Adonis: A

The ability of a pretty-boy that charms people. Creates a mental pressure that dissuades others from harming Saber, and encourages friendship. It has an effect similar to mental interference magecraft, though it can be abated by a strong enough will to resist or the Magic Resistance skill.

Affections of the God: B+

A skill denoting the affections of the God Apollo, boosting physical attributes by a rank. In addition, the skill encompasses the vengeance Apollo took against Saber’s killer. Any who kill Saber are struck with this curse of Apollo’s wrath. Just as in the case of Saber’s murderer, Apollo will empower an existing arrow with his own abilities to strike down the killer.

Ephemeral Dream: A

A lifeform born from dreams, illusions and possibilities. Troilus’ fundamental nature as a heroic spirit is ‘a child who dies prematurely’, one fated to be killed and mourned by heroes and gods, though who never himself achieves greatness. In this sense, he can hardly be called a heroic spirit at all.

And yet, there was a fated Troilus, one who would grow to adulthood and ensure the survival of his city, who would eclipse the greatness of even Hector and Aeneas. A hypothetical existence that cannot exist under normal circumstances.

This entity is neither the doomed child nor the fated hero; rather, it can be considered the child’s dream of an illusory future, a dying child dressing in his brother’s armour. Though the armour is ill-fitting, it still offers protection, and a measure of power.

Even so, this state could not be achieved without the alteration of Troilus’ Saint Graph through the various evolving myths around Troilus; as differing myths built up around the Trojan war, certain writers began to interpret Troilus as a virtuous pagan knight - a second Hector, the wall of Troy, a warrior who killed a thousand Greeks and matched Diomedes in direct combat.

Together, these factors allow Troilus to achieve all the skills necessary for a warrior, though these skills are instinctual rather than learned, and he does not have the requisite combat experience to make full use of them. It is ‘the ability to fight’ rather than a Servant’s skills. Nonetheless, his combat abilities are greatly enhanced from that of an innocent child.

Noble Phantasms

Dream Descendance Durindina
Unbroken Sword of Gold

Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-45
Targets: 45 People

His brother’s sword. The embodiment of an incandescent dream. The equipment that Saber so lovingly polished, until it shone like the sun. A blazing brand that flashes forth on the battlefield, a source of inspiration, empowerment. To protect one’s friends. To protect one’s family. To protect one’s country. Putting one’s own body on the line, again and again. If his brother is a hero, then this sword is the tool of a hero.

One can also consider this the inherited defence of Troy, Troilus’ status as a ‘second Hector’ by later writers. It is the sword Durandal, or rather a dream of it, the heroic inheritance that Troilus longed for. At the same time, it is a shining reflection of Apollo’s golden sword, showing both the love of the god and Troilus’ family. Even so, if Durandal was not fundamentally a ‘weapon that is passed down to others’ it is unlikely that Saber would have ownership of this Noble Phantasm.

Upon invoking its true name, it can ‘shine’ as a heroic image, and burst forward with the power of the sun. One can also consider this an imitation of his brother’s spear technique. Even without activating this, the sword shines brightly, able to variously blind and fascinate enemies in the right circumstances.

Though of course, the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.

Walls of Troy
Body of Troylus

Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 0-40
Targets: -

An embodiment of the prophecy that Troilus’ life was linked to the city of Troy. So long as he lived, Troy would never fall. In this sense, it would be possible to say that in some ways, Troilus was Troy; their destinies were the same. Likewise, Troy’s primary association is its invincible walls, untarnished after years of siege. In this sense, just as Troilus was considered ‘the wall of Troy’ as a warrior in its defense by later writers, Troilus and the walls of Troy are one and the same.

The Walls of Troy are conceptually integrated into Troilus’ body as his skin, and a basic layer of defence. His body can itself be considered a ‘fortress’, against which ordinary attacks will fall short. Even anti-fortress attacks are not a point of specific vulnerability due to the sturdiness of Troy’s walls, a divine construct built by Apollo and Poseidon, reflecting Apollo’s role in the creation of order and the building of cities. Walls that embody divine order cannot be so simply breached.

There are many ways to bypass a city’s walls, even ones as strong as Troy’s. Naturally, as a form of defence it’s completely vulnerable to attacks originating from the interior.

Within the walls are Troy itself, a place that will tautologically never fall if so long as Troilus does not fall. Thus, the prophecy becomes meaningless. But Troilus himself is Troy, a place where heroes gather. As such, Troilus is a focal point for Heroic Spirits, a gathering spot where those who fight are bolstered. The various existences related to magecraft and magical power are bolstered, even in areas where the world would reject them. Heroes are allowed to truly shine, just as they did on the fields of Troy.

Though, of course, Troy is also a place where the age of heroes died. A place where so many died tragically and needlessly. Troy’s collapse would be a return for reality - an awakening from Troilus’ heroic dream.

Fate/Grand Order RP

Not sure about the one I rolled either, sorry. I've got a few others in mind, though some of them might be a bit eccentric for team play. Is it an issue to play someone who's likely to be as much of a hindrance as a help?
