Fate/Grandiose Delusion

[Phantom Zero]

Phantom, art thou free and wish to pair up with me? If not, I'll start coordinating with the king of dancing around.

We'll see. I have to get this loser up first.

 

[Nevvy]

Then I shall twiddle my thumbs.

 

[Minerva]

I'd feel bad having David do my dirty work. XD

I feel like David would be like a really nice Gilgamesh.

 

[Artorias]

Who is Archer?

 

[Raijinslayer]

That would be silver paladin with David, cause the slings the thing man.

 

[Artorias]

I'm blanking out on ideas for my Lancer spot

 

[Raijinslayer]

Try and find a native american hero, that way you can get california buffs

 

[Phantom Zero]

I'm blanking out on ideas for my Lancer spot

1. Look up mythical polearms
2. Find one with a cool ability and/or a wielder with cool loot/abilities.
3. ???
4. Lancer.

 

[Artorias]

Meehhh

 

[Nevvy]

1. Search for the people with the worst luck in history.
2. Find one who uses something like a stick or spear.
3. ?????
4. Lancer.

 

[Pyralithia]

Meehhh

I had trouble finding a suitable Lancer Servant too. Chinese history tends to have a lot of spear/lancer based warriors

 

[Minerva]

Rome also has a bunch of Lancers since The Pilum or spear was the main armament of the army.

 

[Nevvy]

Pisear.
You could be silly and choose "Roman Soldier" randomly elevated to legendary status via longinus.
If you want to be reeeeeeeeeeally funny, you can be Saul.

HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
Actually, I was hoping Caster would be Solomon, and Avenger Jesus, so we could have a family reunion. Saul would be quite cool though. He did fall on his own spear.
Edit: He wasn't cool because he fell on his soda, He was cool. Because He's Saul. I made the spear point (pun not intended.) because I was pointing out that he had a spear.

 

[Nevvy]

Really, the Saul dynamics would be hilarious. I fully endorse it.

 

[Phantom Zero]

Meehhh

There's always the Luck of the Irish.

Alternatively: Chinese, Japanese, and Greco-Roman myth have a multitude of polearm fighters. Others include Arthurian and French, but those guys pretty much just pass the same lance along in the latter, or use Longinus' lance in the former. Arturia and Bedivere wield different lances though.

Skills
God's Holders: Kanshou and Bakuya

A rare sorcery trait which, in Faye's case, has allowed her to inherit and maintain the legendary weapons Kanshou and Bakuya, the married swords of Spring and Autumn period of China. The two swords are complementary weapons forged with the purest metals from the seven mountains and the essence of a human sacrifice. Their performance and quality as swords are exceptionally high due to this, and though they are not attributed with a specific wielder they are noble phantasms nonetheless. The swords were crafted more for the sake of crafting itself, as if to reflect on the nature of crafting rather then for any real sense of purpose found in other swords. They contain no fighting spirit to defeat others or competitive spirit to beat other weapons, and they contain neither the desire to be famous nor the faith to accomplish great deeds. They are merely pure representations of smithing at its zenith: a form of expression undiluted by any sort of selfish purpose. Both swords are completely identical in shape, differing only in color scheme. The swords have a powerful attraction to each other, and it is said that if one is lost, it will inevitably return to the other, for they represent the inseparable bond between Gan Jiang and Mo ye, hence their title as married swords. It is possible to utilize the swords like boomerangs in this manner, as one sword will always return to the other. Wielding both swords at once improves physical and magical resistance, with magical resistance of D rank being constantly applied while physical resistance equating to being immersed by rock being applied. Due to their nature of being enchanted by human sacrifice, the blades have a potent anti monster effect to them. Faye does not have complete mastery over these swords, merely being able to access a fraction of their passive effects. She is also incapable of performing a two blade throw and making both swords come back.

General Magecraft: The ability to detail and perform mundane magecraft.

Taiji: The Chinese philosophy of the Supreme Ultimate. Covers the ability of Breathing and Walking, a connection of the inner world to the outer world, though Faye is not at the level of being able to use this for nature interference. Physical capabilities such as bodily strength and reflexes utilized through martial arts though are amplified with weapons, especially so with Kanshou and Bakuya. Developed through intensive training and meditation, Faye is capable of superhuman physical feats naturally such as running forty kilometers per hour and smashing apart tree trunks with punching force.

Perception: By achieving a calm and steady mental state, Faye is able to perceive the world around him at a much greater level than can the regular distracted mind. She is able to notice minute differences and details with ease and discern emotions, feelings and intents by analyzing facial features and subtle bodily hints. This functions almost like a heightened instinct in combat, but requires much more mental dedication to maintain and is prone to causing tunnel vision by focusing overly on one aspect of combat. By sensing killing intent, minute bodily gestures, and preparative actions, Faye is capable of discerning movements of enemies before or as they happen at that instant and react immediately. From Taiji, Faye has also developed what is known as martial sensing, where she does not require sight to accurately discern an opponent's movements. This is the same perception that allowed Kotomine Kirei to par away bullets and deflect Emiya Kiritsugu's barrage of knife strikes with a blind eye casually.


Self Suggestion
The ability to trance oneself into higher levels of aptitude or skill under certain conditions. When wielding Kanshou and Bakuya, Faye is able to trance herself into attaining far superior levels of technical swordsmanship than her already superbly experienced level. Additionally trances her inner state to be more compatible with the philosophies of the Supreme Ultimate, granting her an aura of imperturbable calm and focus in effect. It is an exceptionally poweful ability that allows Faye to exceed human levels in pure technical skills. Her movements flow perfectly and undisturbed like a great river, dodging and countering as if on mere instinct. Self Suggestion also reinforces the physical body, greatly enhancing Faye's already superhuman physical condition to extreme heights. Faye's self suggestion is also potent in that it allows her to connect with the philosophy of Taiji which inherently complements Kanshou and Bakuya.

Swordsmanship
Faye is an excellent swordsman versed in many armed teachings of Chinese origin, increasing her compatibility with Kanshou and Bakuya significantly. Her base level of skill augmented by a vast well of talent, allowing her to be rightfully titled as a master. When augmented with self suggestion, Faye becomes a supernaturally skilled swordsman capable of zoning in on the slightest of mistakes an opponent makes all the while holding perfect footwork, guards and precisely calculated offenses so fluidly and naturally without second thought. Faye's movements mesh perfectly with usage of Kanshou and Bakuya, causing her fighting style to appear to be a flowing dance rather than hostile swordsmanship. All her movements are subtle, swift, graceful and efficient to the maximum level possible. Faye also has developed an exceptional method of evasive maneuver, where she purposefully leaves herself open in positions where she knows she can defend easily, allowing her to always have the upper hand against even a more powerful opponent as even if they are five times more physically powerful they will be repelled again and again through sheer technical skill alone.

Blacksmithing
Faye comes from a rare line of blacksmithing magi in China much like the smithing mystics of Malaysia. However, her aptitude for blacksmithing is horrible and she has not learned much more than the absolute basics.

Combat Experience
As an enforcer, Faye has significant experience in dealing with heretical magi. Although she has not taken down one with a true sealing designation, she has smudged out countless deviant magi and from those experiences has gained a significant amount of combat experience. The combat experience in turn has sharpened her instincts and conditioned her mentality to fighting against magi superbly well, allowing her to both outmatch targets in the thick of combat and maneuver capable plans to outwit her opponent.

Equipment:
-Kanshou and Bakuya
-Traditional Chinese clothing blessed with protective spells and made of kevlar, retaining flexibility and comfort while possessing firm strength and tensile resistance all perfectly meshed in together through spells. The clothing is capable of resisting bullet fire and most slashing force, but thrusting and piercing force must be defended against. The clothing is also heat and freeze resistant to a large extent, capable of largely ignoring heat reaching the levels of fire while resisting freezing temperatures quite easily.
-Cash in good amounts( Around 2500$ for comfortable living).
-Suitcase filled with materials for general magecraft
-First Aid materials
-Two crossed sheathes meant to hold Kanshou and Bakuya.
-Mystic code familiars that take the shape of locusts that track down enemies

History:
Faye was born into a family of secluded magi that specialized in crafting specialized mystic code weapons through traditional blacksmithing techniques passed down from generation to generation, starting most prominently with Gan Jiang. It was a mundane existence to be born into a family that existed solely to carry on a fading tradition even among magi, which Faye realized from a young age. Although primed to be the heir to the family's secrets and techniques in forging mystical weapons, Faye herself had no aptitude for the art. To Faye, the true beauty of smithing lay in the final creation: the weapons created that were the culmination of all the efforts poured into the processes. The process itself was but a minor light amid the greater scintillation of the product. As such, Faye primed her body and mind for the art of the sword itself, and not the art of creating them. In contrast to her aptitude for smithing, her talent for swordsmanship was beyond the excellent, further emphasizing her incompatible nature with her tradition. The beauty and elegance of the sword encompassed Faye's entire being, and it can be said that her life revolved around it. Anything related to the sword, she whole heartedly digested and understood, recognized and applied. The sword was part and parcel of her intrinsic nature in of itself. Showing an obstinate and stubborn nature unable to bent, Faye was allowed to leave the confines of the family's tradition, which was handed down to her younger brother who was notably more suited to the task. Faye herself set out on her own after inheriting the famed swords Kanshou and Bakuya. She attempted to enter the Mage's Association but found herself incompatible with its structure as her skills were not particularly valued. However, she did find herself a niche as an enforcer and avidly took up the lifestyle as a means of embracing the world anew. Life fell into a routine after that characterized by the same old hunting of heretical magi now and then while lounging around the rest. Faye found herself unable to attach herself to an instructor for the long term due to her inability to express effort or listen carefully, which further lent to her growing boredom. She now enters the holy grail war to mostly alleviate her inactive life and to experience her one and only wish: to become truly understanding of the inherent philosophy behind the sword itself.

Wish: To understand the inherent philosophy behind the concept of the sword.

Sir Bedevere? You mean? This guy?

He is best Servant!

 

[Nevvy]

A very effeminate one.

Ohh!! Excellent character! Instead of Caster and the twins, how about Faye summons Ravana? I think they'd make a fun team! XD
