Omake: Viserys’ Servant Sheet (Caster)
- Location
- Location Location
A/N: So I recently read back through the thread, and noticed that despite the many Fate Memes spread around the place we never got a proper Weaboo contribution to the threadmarks.
The following is my attempt to rectify this situation.
Hopefully I've managed to keep him at least somewhat balanced and not OP trash. Whilst I know that I may get flack for not including his Companions or the Imperium in his NP's, remember that this is Viserys as a Caster and not a Ruler or Rider. With that said, any comments or advice are welcome!
Viserys' Servant Sheet (Caster)
True Name: Viserys Targaryen
Servant Class: Caster
Alternate Classes: Rider, Ruler.
Alignment: True Neutral
Origin: Planetos (A Sword without a hilt)
Parameters
Strength: D
Though possessed of strength far beyond what his appearance would suggest, Caster was at no point famed for his physical might.
Endurance: B
Clad in a fortune's worth of protective gear such as his cloak and belt, Caster is extremely resistant to physical attack, though not completely invincible.
Agility: C
An early affinity for sleight of hand has grown into a well-developed talent for dextrous movement, though his speed is not amazing by Servant standards.
Mana: A++
To those who can truly see, he is a raging tempest of arcane energy, capable of blinding even the most hardened observer. And yet, it still seems that he is holding back…
Luck: A
Somehow, he will always be where he needs to in order to effect change upon the world.
Noble Phantasm: EX
Don't look too closely at this one- you wouldn't want to Wake the Dragon, would you?
Skills
Class Skills
Item Construction: D
Through exposure to some of the finest enchanters and artificers throughout the planes (including his own wife), Caster receives this skill at rank D despite never formally studying the art. He can enchant low-level mystic codes and imbue items with temporary magical effects.
Territory Creation: C
Though extremely skilled in their use and maintenance, Caster was never famed as a ritualist or researcher who used workshops, and as such gains this skill at C rank. At this level, it is possible to claim a 'territory', which can then be used as an anchor for further wards and enchantments. Though his status as a 'King' would allow him to exercise this skill at a very high rank, this influence is degraded by his summoning in the Caster class.
Independent Action: A+
As a King famed throughout the world as a proactive and tireless ruler, Viserys Targaryen receives the highest possible rank of Independent Action. With a Rank of A+ that exceeds even A, the support of a Master is unnecessary even while unleashing a large amount of Magical Energy, though multiple uses of a Noble Phantasm will prove tiring. It is an ability that bends the rules and allows for the continued materialisation of Servants even after the conclusion of a Holy Grail War. Even as his Imperium grew and flourished, Viserys was never sedentary or idle. It is only natural that one so devoted to freedom be granted it at such a level. This skill is only improved by the presence of his Draconic power- A True Dragon cannot be chained, by exhaustion or otherwise.
Personal Skills
Discernment of the Poor: D
Beginning his journey in the seedier parts of Braavos with naught but his wits to keep him and his young sister alive, Viserys was forced to witness the darkest parts of humanity, and during his time as a King dealt with many dissemblers and fake promises from sources both mortal and supernatural. Through it all, he never lost that spark of insight that allowed him to tell truth from falsehood, granting him this skill at D-Rank. He can almost always tell when someone is lying, even by omission, though certain supremely skilled actors and some supernatural abilities are capable of fooling him.
Golden Rule: A
From the slums of Braavos to the mastery of the known world, Viserys has been famed for his vast wealth, even though such financial acumen was not thought to be the province of a King. At his capital of Sorcerer's Deep it is said that the wealth of entire planar empires flows through the city over the course a single day, most of which ends up in the Royal coffers in a similar manner to a Dragon's hoard. Viserys will never want for capital, political or otherwise. At this rank, in the immense storage space of his cloak he may carry a massive variety of enchanted objects, alchemical reagents and potions, or any other items he deems necessary when summoned. Combined with his Charisma, he will never be seen as anything less than a man of wealth and power and worthy of respect, even if brought in front of an opponent in chains.
Charisma: A
As the King who took a pirate hold and developed it into one of the greatest Empires in history, Viserys Targaryen can be said to have achieved the greatest possible level of popularity as a human being. Tales abound that even recordings of his speeches have driven his followers to the heights of heroism and swayed the hearts of all but his bitterest enemies. In fact, Viserys is qualified to gain this skill at A+ Rank, but refuses due to its manifestation as 'a mind altering curse' when used at that level.
Magic Resistance: A
"One who surpassed his mortality to claim the mantle of a 'True' Red Dragon".
This is an integral part of the legend of Viserys, who was famous for vanquishing even the most potent magical threats, since he charged himself with the task of protecting the kingdom. He carries the very magical power of the Dragon as an effect of his Noble Phantasm, which bestows Magic Resistance at A rank, rendering him completely immune to anything less than High Thaumaturgy. This humongous magical power is also the source of Caster's high Mana reserves and Prana Burst (Flames).
Due to the characteristics of a Dragon, Caster should also gain the weaknesses of one; If he is targeted by 'Dragon-slaying Sorceries', it is possible that his Magic Resistance will not function to its fullest extent, though this limitation is somewhat mitigated by the effect of his Noble Phantasm.
Mana Burst (Flames): C
The ability to store up large quantities of mana in the body or armaments and expel them all at once in solid, jet-like blasts. Thanks to his overwhelming magical power and draconic nature, Caster naturally receives this skill, though its rank is degraded due to the limitations of the Caster class. Nevertheless, he may enshroud any weapon he holds with magical flames to increase their power, and may remotely do the same to any natural fire sources, detonating them in a powerful explosion as an attack- or a distraction.
Noble Phantasms
Name: The Serpent's Sin: Let the price of Greed be paid.
Rank: A
Type: Barrier/Support
Range: N/A
Maximum Number of Targets: N/A
Description: A cloak seemingly composed of molten coins that flow down its length in an endless river, this is in fact a powerful artefact crafted from the corpse of an Arch-Duke of Hell- Mammon, the Lord of Minauros. Bested by Viserys Targaryen with the aid of his Companions, this cloak enhances his defences both physical and mystical and functions as an endless repository in which the treasures of the King may be stored.
Even those of the enemy are not safe should they be so greedy as to attempt to take its master's life- should the cloak be physically struck while its True Name is invoked, it will draw the offending weapon into its depths, sealing it permanently. Only Noble Phantasms of a rank equal to or greater than its own can resist this ability.
Effect: Increases the wearer's Endurance and magic resistance by a full rank, up to a maximum of A, and provides the same benefit to the skill 'Golden Rule'. When activated will negate the next attack that physically touches it, sucking in the weapon and permanently sealing it until retrieved by Caster.
Name: Shadow of the Doom: May you share the fate of Valyria.
Rank: A++
Type: Anti-Army/Anti-Fortress
Range: 40
Maximum Number of Targets: ???
Description: Originally only an (admittedly powerful) spell, this mystery has been elevated by both Viserys' own power and the weight of his legend, being emblematic of his overwhelming sorcerous might on a thousand battlefields. Striking with the force of a modern nuclear weapon, it shrouds entire battlefields for kilometres in every direction in burning ash, shot through with sheets of incandescent lightning.
Anything with less than the greatest of defences is summarily obliterated- melted by the insane heat or else charred into an obsidian statue, never to move again. Even if they survive they cannot emerge unscathed- thanks to its reputation as the downfall of even the mighty mage-lords of Valyria this spell forces the enemy to suffer, dealing damage even through EX-Rank Magic Resistance, though greatly reduced in scope.
Thus is echoed the destiny of the Ancients anew upon the world- a Catastrophe so mighty that not even the greatest of heroes could hope to escape the shared suffering of Valyria.
Effect: A battle-magic so powerful that it can be confused with a natural disaster, this spell is launched at an area designated by Caster and converts the chosen locations into a recreation of Valyria's fall, complete with massive destructive potential that will partially pierce even the strongest defence, with the exception of certain other Noble Phantasms.
Name: Draconic Ascension: The King reclaims his Birthright.
Rank: EX
Type: Support
Range: 0
Maximum Number of Targets: Self
Description: Perhaps the greatest triumph of Viserys Targaryen and the most well known aspect of his legend. Through his many great trials and world-shaking victories over endless tides of assailants, he succeeded in kindling the dormant spark within his bloodline that for so many centuries had been dwindling, claiming the mantles of True Dragon and Dragonlord in a time when even the most feeble workings were considered great sorceries.
As such, this noble phantasm is nothing less than an expression of his true nature as both a Dragon and Man at the same time, which would normally be impossible for the Grail to sustain. Indeed, its mere presence is a paradox that is only overcome by the sheer conceptual weight of Caster's existence, and can thus only be granted the EX-Rank. Thanks to the effect of this Noble Phantasm, as log as Viserys is in human form he is immune to 'Anti-Dragon' attacks that would otherwise impair him. He is also resistant to the instincts of his kind, able to maintain rational thought even when provoked or under stress.
A sublimation of his draconic abilities into a Noble Phantasm, this ability lets Viserys Targaryen maintain the skills bestowed by his heritage, even surpassing the usual allotment of skills to his class vessel if necessary. A passive effect that can never be removed regardless of Class or Summoner.
Only when fully invoked, however, is its true power revealed, allowing Viserys to shed his mortal trappings and fully embrace his existence as a True Dragon. This massively boosts every single one of his attributes, unseals the use of his Dragon's Breath skill and further improves his already excellent Magic resistance, though at the cost of making him vulnerable to Anti-Dragon effects. Even so, the might granted by this form can be said to be on par with divinity, and it is the ultimate expression of power that Viserys can evoke.
"Fire and Blood" are the words of House Targaryen. Should this Noble Phantasm be completely unleashed, the enemy will inevitably learn the true meaning of both.
Effect: Passively gain the skills Charisma, Independent Action, Magic Resistance, Golden Rule and Mana Burst (Flames). The rank of these skills may be modified by Class and Summoner.
If fully unleashed, transform into a True Dragon (Red) with the following stats and extra skills:
Strength: A+
Endurance: A++
Agility: C
Mana: EX
Luck: A+
Magic Resistance: A+
Mana Burst (Flames): B
Charisma: A+ (Specifically when used for intimidation)
Battle Continuation: B
Gain the following extra Noble Phantasm:
Name: Dragon's Breath: The All-Consuming Flame
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti Army
Range: 2
Maximum Number of Targets: ???
Description: The Signature skill of any Dragon, rendered into a Noble Phantasm thanks to the weight of legends behind it. Thanks to Viserys' ascension and his journey down the path of the Dragon Mystic, his expression of this skill is more powerful even than the legends say. Such is his connection to his Draconic power that his breath has become more of a conceptual effect than an actual attack, burning all caught in its area of effect regardless of its nature or defenses. The only way to emerge unscathed from this attack is to avoid it.
Effect: A 50ft cone of conceptual flame that burns all within it, dealing heavy damage. This attack cannot be blocked or negated by any means, only avoided, and will deal full damage under all circumstances as long as the target is hit.
The following is my attempt to rectify this situation.

I had a mad thought of giving it to the Lantern Bearers.
