Taylor is the kind of Master to abuse Zhuge Liang's abilities at the soonest opportunity. If she was overjoyed over Shakespeare's supportive capabilities, Zhuge's will have her outright salivating.'For a servent that has no offence ability, your scary good at enabling mass murder!'
I went back and reread the relevant sections of Waver's interludes for this, so yeah. Lore from those says that Pseudo and Demi-Servants are essentially identical in terms of results, even if the process is different.huh, thought pseudo-servants' whole deal was the host not being in control and it's a merger at best, the demi servants are different specifically cause the host is in control and have a human (if massively augmented) body.
Waver kind of is in a weird spot, since unlike pretty much all the other Pseudos that aren't just the character themselves (like Shiki and Fujino), Zhuge Liang just outright decided to leave everything to Waver before going to sleep. In comparison, fellow Chinese tactician Sima Yi took a more active role in helping Reines in her Pseudo status.huh, thought pseudo-servants' whole deal was the host not being in control and it's a merger at best, the demi servants are different specifically cause the host is in control and have a human (if massively augmented) body.
There isn't really much controlling involved if I recall correctly. In the Rome Singularity, all the enemy Emperors are pretty much just doing their own thing, it's just that as an emperor herself, Nero really just can't allow them to stay and challenge her authority unless she was willing to lose her own place.
Waver's just lucky Olga's currently out of action. Imagine her reaction when she wakes up and finds a Clocktower Lord looming over her.
He's also lucky Reines hasn't shown up yet, of course.

Generally that's true. Jaguar Warrior is mainly taking the form of Taiga, and getting the occasional flash of clumsiness or zaniness from her, so let's put her at 95% Jaguar and 5% Taiga. Ishtar and Ereshkigal are mostly just themselves but they actually are moderately influenced by Rin. It's to the point that Ishtar isn't a raging bitch 90% of the time, and Ereshkigal is more proactive and willing to reach out to others. So let's put them at 70% Themselves and 30% Rin. Waver and Reines are actually odd in that they are pretty much completely in 100% control of their respective powers rather than the Servant themselves. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi pretty much foisted their powers and expertise off on the two and skedaddled to the point that they're essentially Demi-Servants, but are completely made of Spiritrons rather than occupying actual flesh like Mash is.
While Erice's Mother was a Servant, wasn't she incarnated, and thus turned into a regular human being, before getting pregnant or something?Incidentally, Erice's situation would actually be a better fit for the title "Demi-Servant" than Mash's situation, since she's literally a demi-Servant the same way Heracles is a demi-god; Erice's mother was the goddess Izanami, summoned as a Servant. Mash gets the label because she came first; otherwise, Mash would be the "Quasi-Servant".

There also Parvati and Muramasa.
Also hilarious: Jaguar Warrior has Madness Enhancement as a skill, but not because of Jaguar as much as Taiga's sheer force of personality kicking in. There's also the really high Luck stat - and I kid you not here - but it's explicitly because of Taiga and it's actually lower than it should be because literal Divinity is not as lucky as Taiga who somewhat canonically has been stated to stumble into somehow saving the world from time to time.Don't forget that while Jaguar man is in control of their body they have/use Taiga's personality on the whole.
I'd put it more like 20% taiga due to Jaguar man having her personality but still having the divine spirit be in control.
It's actually pretty weird now that I think about it.
Waver actually does exist in non-FSN/Zero timelines, and he even becomes Lord El-Melloi II. The details are vague and sketchy at best, but he and Kayneth get into the same tiff, then Waver and Kayneth go off to one of those imitation Grail Wars that happens occasionally, Kayneth dies somehow (because he underestimated the competition, I guess?), and Waver gets shanghaied into being his replacement for essentially the same reason. It happens in Apocrypha that way, so it's entirely possible — even likely — that it happened in FGO somehow too.Her face will be 'extremely confused', because Waver is not a Clocktower Lord in the FGO timeline. I'm not sure Waver even graduated from the Clocktower in the FGO timeline; I'm not sure he even exists. She certainly won't recognise him, because without the HGW and interaction with Alexander to catalyse him, he remains a shitty loser bitter failure kid who probably gets offed by Kayneth for some minor slight.
Reines probably isn't the heir in the FGO timeline, either, due to the fact that the Fourth HGW didn't happen so Kayneth El-Melloi may well still be around, married, and with kids. There's some indications she might at least exist (mostly the Olga and Reines kiddie tea time Craft Essence but it's probably a reference to the Case Files timeline not the FGO one), though, but these aren't reliable.
(Emiya Shirou absolutely literally doesn't exist in the FGO timeline, for reference.)
Again, the 'only one HGW' history of FGO means that a load of characters that exist in other timelines probably don't. And if some of them did, a lot of them probably got merked in said single HGW.
Oh shit hey Waver!
Welp she's still not in the greatest of moods"We're dancing around the topic and it's getting revolting," Aífe chimed in from behind us,
Oh this is just greatEl-Melloi II groaned and dropped his face into his hand. "Emiya," he gritted out, massaging his temples. "Emiya Shirou. Of all the boneheaded, numbskull, imbecilic… Of course you did something that stupid. I should have expected as much."
Oh man they would get along like a house on fire"Queen Booty…?" El-Melloi II closed his eyes briefly, muttering something about a 'flat' something or other.

Doesn't help that the event most likely to give it was the one he got introduced in. And may have been before Spiritron Dresses were a thing.Speaking of, it's a crying shame that Kerry doesn't get a costume in-game that dresses him in his Zero era outfit. Missed opportunity, dev team.

Well, there's the little detail that the Mages' Association doesn't exist in Ancient Rome, unlike Chaldea's time, which should make things a lot easier for him than you.Marie had always told me that it was dangerous for people to know I was from an alternate reality. That it could get me in trouble with the Mage's Association. Shouldn't that mean he would just as jealously guard that secret as I was?
I just finished browsing Code Geass, so I just got the image of Kiritsugu wearing Zero's outfit instead of just, you know, normal Kiritsugu. Watch out, Japan, Kiritsugu of the Rebellion has come…has come to…*snorts* oh God I can't finish that without laughing! *laughs at image ofSpeaking of, it's a crying shame that Kerry doesn't get a costume in-game that dresses him in his Zero era outfit.

"Emiya" Shirou doesn't exist in FGO's timeline, but the boy who would have become him definitely does, and probably lives an ordinary life, much like a certain version in the magical girl storyline. I wonder what that means about Kiritsugu, though? Maybe he stumbled across one of those imitation Grail Wars himself, but he's almost certainly not in the employ of the Einzbern.
