Let's test Yea Forums's /his/torical knowledge. Without looking anything up, think of 7 new servants to fight in a holy grail war, one for each class.
>Saber: Charles Martel
>Lancer: Telephus
>Archer: William Tell
>Rider: Hernan Cortes
>Assassin: The Red Death
>Caster: Nostradamus
>Berserker: Eric Thorvaldsson
>Saber: Godefroy de Boullion
>Archer: Saint Sebastian
>Lancer: Henry VIII
>Rider: Ashurbanipal
>Caster: Saphos of Lesbos
>Assassin: Eirene of Athens
>Berserker: Basil II the bulgar-slayer
Fuck i just thought of it so i'll put Basil II in lancer class and put Basil I in berserker class for max drama
>Henry viii
What would his NP be?
Each time he gets an injury, he gets fatter and a woman he finds attractive gets pregnant and dies
Sounds EX level against the genderbent servants
>Saber: Ogire the dane
>Archer: Arrow odd
>lancer: Cadmus
>Caster: gwydion
>Rider: Ivan the fool
>assassin: Brutus
>Berserker: Viking of stamford bridge
if you think that Henry VIII np is EX rank, just go take a look at Basil II's greatest military achievement
Saber: Liu Bei (female)
Lancer: Brunhild
Archer: Paris
Rider: King Etzel
Assassin: Kriemhild
Caster: Sima Yi
Berserker: Achilles
Berserker Achilles is a bit of a stretch, but the whole point is that he doesn't do anything but go camping.
a lot of historical guys here
godfrey would dominate since he has the most stuff you could extrapolate
>new servants
What, you want more obscure 3kingdomz
Saber: Sir Kay
Lancer: Little John
Archer: Odysseus
Rider: Lief Erickson
Assassin: Arachne
Caster: Perenelle Flamel
Berserker: Man in the Iron Mask
And if where allowed a little "OC do not steal" bullshit then
HGW this time is a slightly modified version.
All the masters this time around all are from families with some form of faulty Magic Crest meaning that there lineage is essentially on death door, So a modified HGW was offered by a third party where the mana stored in the lesser grail would be used to restore and even enhance the winners Crest,
To keep the servants in line since they ain't getting a wish from the greater grail, said third party also offered blueprints to the winner for a mystic code able to mimic Fifth Magic (think along the lines of Zelretch's Jeweled Sword) which will be able to give the winning servant the chance to chance the one thing they most regret in life.
While this comes of as a con, the desires of the masters and the servants to maintain their legacy for the former and absolve their regrets for the later is enough to initiate the HGW
good god I felt autistic writing that
As long as they haven’t already appeared in a fate work it’s fine, which Achilles and brunhild have
Different Brunhild.
I guess you can just get Polyphemus as Berserker.
His NP is summoning sheep.
Dei Gratia Rex
Defender of the faith
Odysseus would be ridiculously strong, if you have some autism to spare please do parameters/skills/NP for him
Saber: John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury (Jeanne's main opponent in the Hundred Years War, the English Achilles)
Lancer: Xenophon
Archer: John Churchill (He scored the last ever kill with a bow in Warfare)
Rider: Tamerlane
Assassin: Guy Fawkes
Caster: Helen Duncan (Last woman tried for Witchcraft in England)
Berserker: Dagr Spaka
>three from volsung
>two from illiad
>two from three kingdoms
>two have already been in fate
how boring
>godfrey would dominate
>not Basil II cause he'd have an anti-army np that blinds 90% of the servants, cuts the tongue of the 10% remaining and give the masters a heart attack
I'm sorry but Godefroy wouldn't even stand a chance
*dabs on you with the combined endurance of all the crusaders*
heh, better luck next time old man...
*converts you to orthodox christianity so renders your crusaders useless*
No hard feelings, pal
>tfw i want to have autistic discussions about how some of my faviorte more obscure myths mught translate over into fate by literally no one cares
Are my taste that shit?
Other than liking fate i mean
>Saber: Richard Lionheart
>Lancer: Jeremi Wiśniowiecki
>Archer: Henry V
>Rider: Horatio Nelson
>Assassin: Maximilien de Robespierre
>Caster: Merlin
>Berserker: Leonidas
haven't really thought to much about skills or parameters but I have thought about incorporating his beggar disuse in some way, best I can think of is
>when in use, Odysseus appears to everyone around him as a feeble old man with the added benefit of being able to change his presences to that of a normal human
>Saber: William The Conqueror
>Lancer: Sun Wukong
>Archer: Mad Jack Churchill
>Rider: Dick Turpin
>Assassin: Marcus Junius Brutus
>Caster: Dante Alighieri
>Berserker: Sawney Bean
>Saber: Richard Lionheart
Already exists
Saber: Don Quixote
Lancer: Musashi (True)
Archer: Ned Kelly
Rider: Sun Wukong
Assassin: Arsene Lupin
Caster: Bishop Tilpin
Berserker: Duryodhana
Defender of the Faith sounds more like something that would be a Skill giving a low level of Divinity.
>Saber's Master does everything in their power to summon Artoria
>pretty much has a catalyst laser-honed to get her
>winds up with her mediocre Aquaman brother instead
Would be glorious.
TITE Kubo would be the strongest Caster, with his Noble Phantasm: The Asspull.
Hey there are worst knights you could of summoned, at least Kay can do shit like breath underwater, grow to giant size, and shoot supernatural heat from his hands.
Though it would be funny expecting some noble knight and getting as a fast talking son of a bitch who iirc one of the type moon magazines referenced to him as "The Knight Without Honor" (had something to do with his preferred fighting style)
Saber : Kondo Isamu (Hijikata and Souji feel so incomplete without him)
Rider : Emperor Norton
Assassin : Oswald
>Saber: William Wallace
>Lancer: Tadakatsu Honda
>Archer: Calamity Jane
>Rider: Red Baron
>Assassin: Hanzo Hattori
>Caster: Galileo
>Berserker: Dong Zhuo
That is actually fitting given that in most myths Kay is Boorish, crude and with an acid tongue and a low opinion of Chivalry. But he is also fiercely loyal to Arthur and Arthur treats Kay as his Naysmith, the Knight he can turn to for a dissenting opinion to keep the balance at court.
>Saber: Mitsunari
>Lancer: Tadakatsu Honda
>Archer: Arash
>Rider: El Cid
>Assassin: The Old Man of the Mountain
>Caster: Edward Kelley
>Berserker: Lu Bu
I'm not a fatefag, pray tell me how many of them are represented in the franchise, anons? Do you think those are fitting picks?
maybe you could incorporate Kay ditching Arthur in the welsh myth into a noble phantasm that gives him the ability to freely break the master servant contract whenever he wanted
>The Old Man of the Mountain
>Lu Bu
>arash
these are in
He also has the power to swim good. Which was pretty useless since the KotR primarily fought land battles
Saber: Caliph Ali
Lancer: Hector
Archer: Odysseus
Assassin: Paris
Caster: Archimedes
Berzerker: Achilles
okay so it's mostly Illiad but it's what I could remember
Interesting. After looking it up a bit I'm really surprised that neither John Dee or Edward Kelley have made it, they'd fit right in.
I've seen Dee in a fanfic once, dude was summoning angels all over the place, great fun.
Hector, Archimedes and Achilles are already in.
Saber: Fiore dei Liberi
Lancer: Yue Fei
Archer: Genghis Khan
Rider: Leif Erikkson
Assassin: John Wilkes Booth
Caster: Marie Curie
Berserker: Hideki Tojo
>try to summon Genghis Khan
>get Dcshinghis Khan instead
what do??
party I guess
>be Deep South user
>find grandpa’s confederate flag in the garage
>recite magic Mumbai jumbo in front of
>suddenly genderbent John Wilkes Booth appears
>make contract right away
>Start telling her about HGW
>she’s not interested
>instead sits down in front of TV and listens to news
>gets so mad she drags my ass to Washington DC
>kills every single black politician in Congress
I like this
>high presence concealment
>mediocre NP
>literally just appears behind them, shoots them in the head, and runs away
>is incapable of any other tactics
>can't tell if this is brilliant or she's just retarded
Latter has the more correct pronunciation of his name though.
>all the servants are finally dead over in japan
>everyone’s still asking where the fuck assassin is
>finally figure out she’s not in the country
>The winning servant and master eventually make it to Washington DC
>assassin is nowhere to be found except near the White House
>suddenly saber vs John Wilkes booth takes place on the national mall
>government gets involved but they can’t subdue neither of them
sounds pretty kino desu
Wukong would be unfair, worst than Gilgamesh
>obscure
>Saber: Zorro
>Lancer: William the Conqueror
>Archer: Ned Kelly
>Rider: Dick Turpin
>Assassin: The black hand
>Caster: Faust
>Beserker: Goliath
Ruler: the unknown soldier
>Berserker Nimrod
>Rider Roosevelt
>Saber The Nonexistent Knight
>Assassin Nezha
>Lancer Lucy (the prehistoric one)
>Archer Jebe
That’s what the tiara is for
>Saber: Nafanua, historical/mythical war princess turned goddess of the Samoan people. PL - something with magma or volcanos, since she has one named after her
>Lancer: Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor. NP - something with dragons cause he founded the Order of the Dragon to fight the Turks.
>Archer: Johannes Kepler, founder of modern astronomy, layed the groundwork for Newton's theory of universal gravitation. NP - something with gravity or solar
>Rider: Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid Empire (cyrus has a depiction in stone of him with four wings, so I guess rider). NP - fuck if I know
>Assassin: Brutus has a lot of potentialm given assassins are considered the weakest class anyway, and he was a little bitch. His NP would prob be a little bitch too
>Caster: Stephen Hawking, come on, you'd know a black hole Noble Phantasm would be fucking awesome
>Berserker: Olga of Kiev, bitch was crazy. NP - probably something with lighting peasants on fire
special
>Ruler: Minos, mythological King of Knossos. NP - Labyrinth, reality marble trapping enemies in a maze
>Avenger: Marshal Zhukov, probably less than happy with how he saved USSR and then it turned out like shit. Rommel would also work
wow, I somehow typed PL instead of NP for the first one
>Saber: Octavian
>Lancer: Guan Yu
>Archer: Indrajit
>Rider: Genghis Khan
>Assassin: Cain
>Caster: Dante Alighieri
>Berserker: Samson
>Saber: Rama
Archer: Atalanta
Rider: Mebd
Caster:Paracelsus von Hohenheim
Berseker:Caligula
Assasin: Ryougi Shiki
Lancer:Fionn mac Cumhaill
Ruler: Rex Magnus Karl
>Saber: Lapu Lapu
>Lancer: Leonidas
>Archer: Xerces II
>Rider: Ferdinand Magellan
>Assassin: Brutus
>Caster: Alexander Hamilton
>Berserker: Sisyphus
My history's a bit rusty and I have 2 pairs of Heroic Spirits from the same time period.
speaking of hamilton, Burr would make an apt Berserker
Wouldn't Nimrod be more appropriate as an Archer? He's known for hunting more than going ape.
I was tempted to cast Burr as Assassin, but there are already a lot of time period overlaps in my list. Don't want 3 pairs of arch enemies to recognize each other immediately, will make for a quick HGW.
>Saber: Young Hero Gilgamesh
>Lancer: Man Whore Gilgamesh
>Archer: Attention Whore Gilgamesh
>Rider: Regular Whore Gilgamesh
>Assassin: Backstabu Gilgamesh
>Caster: Wise King Gilgamesh
>Berserker: "Tantrumed so hard he pissed off the Gods" Gilgamesh
Saber: Ehud

Rider: Noah
Caster: Moses
Assassin: Cain
Berserker: Samson
Saber- Zorro
Lancer- Loginus
Archer- Wyatt Earp
Rider - Hannibal (female)
Caster- Anansi
Berserker- King George III (female)
Assassin - Some personification of the Black Death who wears a plague doctor outfit
fuck it, time for the FOUNDING FATHER'S HOLY GRAIL WAR
Isn't Archer Gilgamesh canonically his strongest form? Also do they have different instances of GoB? If there's only 1 GoB the first one who draws Ea wins straight up.
based
too, But I'd go for the "He's The King of a curse reign where noone can comunicate RAAAAWWRR"
then with the Eden's Lion and Bear pelts I see him as a MACHO
Kay: Marrok! Why did you betray us?
Marrok: To test my abilities.
They are all the same, Archer is "better" (or worst) because Indipendent Action
By the way Gilgamesh Class Gilgamesh or Gilgamesh Origin Form from CCC are the powerful ones
Didn't Caster Gilgamesh resummon himself as Archer because he didn't have enough fire power?
>Assassin - Some personification of the Black Death who wears a plague doctor outfit
Nice
Saber: Zorro
Lancer: Sanada Yukimura
Archer: Van Helsing

Caster: HP Lovecraft
Berserker: Lizzie Borden
Saber: Saladin (female)
Lancer: is dead
Archer: Simo Hayha
Rider: Lief Erikson
Caster: Wernher Von Braun

What's considered a historical figure? Can I summon someone who died in the XXth century or is that too early?
>saber: Cortez
>lancer: Guan Yu
>archer: Samuel Colt
>rider: Daedalus
>assassin: Marie Curie
>caster: Aleister Crowley
>berserker: Rasputin
>thinking there's rules in summoning a servant in Fate
Archer is a hero from the future so technically you can summon a hero that doesn't exist yet.
Saber: Archangel Micheal
Lancer: Longinus
Archer: Nimrod
