I'll just keep the Bunyan Rider then and have that explain the differences.
I'm admittedly a bit confused at the FREEZE bit of the Reality Marble, but that's probably due to only knowing Bunyan through the Fate version and liking how that one dealt with Bunyan's story being a made-up fiction rather than actual folklore.
(Namely, Bunyan's become a manifestation of the frontier; civilization trampling over and processing the world that was formerly a wild land. More details in Bunyan's event, which is great, go read it if you have time.)

It was a reference to how Babe was found, in the Winter of the Blue Snow. And how his tales grew over time, with him growing in size in the reality marble.

I honestly thought he was my best designed NP. It's at least more interesting, IMO, than that one Hassan that just makes copies of himself.
 
They were all pretty bad except for zerg rushing (or killing masters, but any servant can do that). Meh, just wasn't a fan of his NP.
Hundred Face is scary when used competently. Have several Hassans lure away every Servant, then have some of the rest gank all the Masters, bam, you've won your Subcategory Grail War. And the Assassin class specialises in ganking Masters.

(It's also less Shadow Clone Jutsu and more 'Psyche shattered into physical pieces'; the scrapped Kid Assassin/Waver subplot would've probably helped show that better I suspect. Also begins the Hassan theme of regretting their claim to fame.)

True, I guess.


Anyone else have any thoughts on my NPs for characters? I'm working on redesigning Downfall of Gaza.
 
The thing is that HFH's NP makes sense as something in their kit and as his trump card, while also utilizing and showing us an interesting fact with the whole compartementalized soul thing born from sublimating the multiple personality disorder. It gives the grounds and justification for other fun things, honestly.

無限の――

無限の残骸。実力伯仲だった二名のマスターの戦いの末路。
勝者を輩出する事なく、
敗者を決定する事なく、
ただ、戦いに破れたそれぞれの遺体が積み重なる無人の第六層。

1000年前の聖杯戦争で遠坂リンとラニ=Ⅷはこのフロアで対決したが、
その結果は完全なる引き分けだった。
互いにサーヴァントを失い、互いに致命傷を与えた両名は、
『勝者』であり『敗者』としてカウントされてしまったのだ。
その直後、トワイス・ピースマンの手で聖杯戦争が停止し、
第六層はフロアマスターとして六層でもっとも優れたマスターである
リンとラニを保護。
死の直前にある両者をフロアの核として採用し、六層を再構成した。

リンとラニが自分たちの状態(フロア化している)事を
把握するまで数十年のラグがあり、
その間、六層にいた数少ないマスターたちは七層に向かったか、下層に避難した。

死の直前でフロアと同化したリンとラニの本体(オリジナル)の意識は、
いまだ『聖杯戦争』のただ中にある。
彼女たちは霧のかかった意識のまま、本能に従い、
代理となる分身(アバター)を作成。
勝敗を明らかにする為、戦闘を再開したのだが、
何年、何十年、何百年と戦いを繰り返しても、
彼女たちが勝者としてフロアから開放される時は来なかった。

500年の殺し合いが続き、彼女たちもようやく状況を諦めた。
自分たちではもう判定は覆らない。
リン(ラニ)を殺したところでラニ(リン)が勝者になる事はない。
彼女たちが『勝者』か『敗者』になる方法はただ一つ。
第六層まであがってきたマスターと
戦い、倒すか、倒されるかの結末を迎えるしかない。​
Unlimited ――.

1000 years ago, Rin and Rani eliminated each other's Servants, and delivered lethal injuries to one another -- qualifying both as "losers" that were as "victors." However, just as they arrived at the boundary of death, Twice terminated the Grail War and sealed the Angelica Cage -- creating a situation whereby no legitimate "victor" was ever determined. The 6th Floor, seeking to preserve as Floormasters the most capable of the Masters that fought within it, committed Rin and Rani to its protection -- making them as part of the Floor itself.

The two originals, not entirely conscious, were suspended in the mindset that the War was still ongoing -- and following their instinct, established Aspects referred to as "Avatars" to continue fighting out their conflict. However, no victor ever emerged, and they were trapped within an eternal deadlock. It took them maybe 500 years to give up on determining an outcome between the two of them; and they began to seek out the intervention of a tiebreaker.

In the meantime, other Masters that reached the 6th Floor either ascended to the 7th, or evacuated to the lower floors.

TL;DR - "Unlimited ――" may be as much a reference to "Unlimited Blade Works" as "the Seat of Void."
That is to say, Rin and Rani Musashi-Kojirou'd.

リンとラニの今の姿。数百年にも及ぶ、自己改造と自己強化のなれの果て。
彼女たちはライバルであるリン(ラニ)を上回るため、
自身の電脳体を改良し続け、その果てに自らをサーヴァント化した。

すでにサーヴァントを失っていた彼女たちは、かつて契約していた英霊の要素を
自身の電脳体に植え付け、融合させている。
その有様は成長というより、工場で出荷される兵器のようなもの。
事故改造は本体(オリジナル)そのものから始まり、
彼女たちは生きたまま違うものに組み替えられる痛みと恐怖を
幾度となく繰り返し、今の最適解の電脳体に落ち着いた。
長いトライアルの末、
リンはスキルに特化したサーヴァントスタイルを選び、
ラニはパワーに特化したサーヴァントスタイルを選んだようだ。

各階層でハクノとセイバーに協力していたのは、
六層から下層に向けて派遣されたこの分身である。
SE.RA.PHは一方通行の為、一階層にひとりずつ分身を派遣していた。
その目的は言うまでもなく、
『新しいマスター』を六層にまで到達させる為だった。​
Avatars (Aspects). Rin & Rani Mass Production Models, because Seibaface wasn't enough.

Isolating and incorporating elements of the Servants with which they were contracted, Rin and Rani were able to manufacture improved cyberbodies (電脳体, dennou-tai, "computer corpora") -- enduring the pain and fear of being reconstituted into a different existence even as they remained alive; and thereon creating replicas of such. As of the conclusion of extended trial and error, Rin elected to optimize herself in the utilization of skills; whereas Rani optimized herself in the use of power.

The Aspects dispatched to assist Hakuno in the various floors were intended purely to bring "a new Master" to the 6th Floor.

Cardial Realm, Astraia.
The dome at the heart of the 6th Floor, where the Originals of Rin and Rani are situated.
The Avatars instinctively fear to enter the dome, as upon observing their originals, they will collapse from self-contradiction.
As of the annihilation of an Avatar, their data and memories are accumulated to the Originals.
Basically, Astraia is the Throne of Rins and Ranis.

That's ... not really an hypothetical situation since we know his best Classes would be Saber or Archer.

Archer is his best class if you kind of but not really want to see why check out Fate Strange Fake. Also forgot to put this hear but Herks artist in FGO did a lilly version of him for April Fools.

According to Strange/Fake, Herc would be less morally scrupulous as a Cavalry Class like Rider or Assassin, but is a true gentleman and hero as a Knight class like Archer. We already know that Archer is straight up his best class, mixing his cunning, power, and moral center into one perfect hero.

Character Voice: Miyuki Sawashiro
Appearance in Main Works: Fate/Grand Order



Parameters

Strength: C+
Endurance: B
Agility: A+
Mana: B
Luck: A
Noble Phantasm: A


Class Skills

Surfing: A
A subclass of the Riding Skill. If it is at Rank A, it is possible for one to manage most surfboards.

Magic Resistance: B
Cancels the use of spells with a chant that is three verses or below. It is difficult to even wound her with the likes of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.


Personal Skills

Cerulean Ride: A
A peculiar Skill for the objective of riding even on a legendary great wave like the "Big Wednesday". Regardless of the quality of the surfboard, one can ride across every wave.

Rodeo Flip: A+
A highly difficult surfing technique that do exist. Because Mo-san frequently uses this as an attack, it is particularly sublimated as a Skill.

Endless Summer: B
Mo-san is in a summer mood at all times.


Noble Phantasm

Prydwen Tube Riding: Great Kingly Mood of Reigning in Surging Waves!
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Wave
Range: 1~5
Maximum Number of Targets: 10 people

Pulls off a tube riding (that move in which one rides through the gap within the wave), which boasts a top-class difficulty level among the surfing techniques, by means of Prydwen. The opponents will die. Why one thinks so? I wonder why.

Perhaps, one can think that a wave occurring because of her riding Prydwen might be due to her getting into a condition similar to a kind of "Mana Burst" Skill, but one has a feeling that it is no more than a drawback when taking into consideration of that conjecture.



First Pronoun: ore
Second Pronoun: kisama
Third Pronoun: aitsu


Personality

Her tension is overwhelmingly higher than the usual Mordred, so it is easy to catch sight of her riding.


Attitude towards the Master

Given that she removed both her armor and sword now, she is not being a slave to the restraints of being a knight. As for the person herself, she intends to enjoy this one summer to her heart's content.


Dialogue Examples

"Yahoo, Master! Heeh, I came to play! Oh, keep it a secret from father! This board, I took it out secretly!"
"Alrighty now! The feeling of ignoring the king's orders is the best! Time to go with the wave and spring back from the sea!"
"Master, the south wind is blowing. This is the sea's once in a lifetime rampage. So, let's go surfing together. Yeah, even if this body vanishes someday, this is unforgettable, since there are things I do not want to forget."


Historical Character Image

It is no different from the original Mordred's.


Character Image in "Fate/Grand Order"

Since it is the summer, the cute Mo-san possesses a tension on the high side! She is sort of getting into the mood. Well, she is a good childhood friend who turned up and jumped into the verandah near your personal space randomly and while being all friendly, right?! Isn't that right?!

… Because half of Mordred's life was mostly in relation to Britain and the King of Knights, it is like Mordred as an individual does not exist, so to speak. Concerning her who was born, raised and fought for the sake of killing the King of Knights, it is even possible to say that this situation happens to be the first holiday in her life. As the Master is patient, they want to show off to her what a vacation can be.

She will not get tired of it. Just by seeing her rich facial expressions, it seems summer and the likes will pass by in the blink of an eye.


General Armaments

A surfboard (Prydwen).

Knights of the Round Table
Shut up! Is there an objection in taking a leave of absence for a vacation?

Servants of the King of Knights Group
Ah, uhhh… This Prydwen is, is an equipment rental; that is, in other words… I'm off to eliminate some savage tribes!

Anne Bonny & Mary Read
Putting aside the female melon monster, there was Mary of who Mo-san holds a little strange affinity with.



Comment from Illustrator

Swimsuit, lines, are few. Wonderful! Although I was not sure whether I thought about it or not, given that swimsuits have a splendour for a summer event, I enjoyed drawing this. Healed at a white beach… A point I figured out is that, because the event moves forward in its initial state, there is the matter of keeping from the start the circumstances of wearing a straight swimsuit. Fortunately, I felt like opening up a new side of Sir Mordred. Hey, although I'm saying this in the confusion of the moment, that being the case, I am also waiting for a request for a male swimsuit Servant! Because! (Facing in the direction of a big-wig).

Class Skills

Magic Resistance: D
Cancels the use of Single-Action spells on her. A Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.

Mad Enhancement: EX
Ha? No matter if I'm a Berserker or a Lancer, I was still absolutely yearning only for Master~ wholeheartedly, so I really don't happen to know the likes of Mad Enhancement?


Personal Skills

Fiery Passion of Summer: A
Summer is the season of passion.
I will greatly spend this season several times more sultrier than usual.
Hot.

Bathtub Flip: A
Even though the traces of her in the Berserker Class has been left behind, she manifested in the Lancer Class. However, it resulted in her wearing a swimsuit as compensation. It is slightly embarrassing, but she is even willing to wear a swimsuit if it is for the sake of her Master.

Pursuer of Love: A
A powered-up Skill of Stalking.
I! Love! Youuu!


Noble Phantasm

Dojo-ji Bell, Method 108 – Fire Dragon Mower
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: 1 person

Summons the bell that Lord Anchin once confined himself in; according to Kiyohime's eloquence, because Lord Anchin was discovered by her while engulfed in flames, she decided on also trying to stab some naginatas in there this time… Perhaps, it is roughly in the category of being called a Noble Phantasm that is viewed as a realization of that incident during her lifetime.

Furthermore, although there should be no particular connection, every time this Noble Phantasm is put to use, Blackbeard always complains that "It is terrible to lie heavily on the stomach with chills, a shortness of breath, dizziness, a headache, and a sore throat, but…"



First Pronoun: watakushi
Second Pronoun: anata / Master~
Third Pronoun: ano hou


Personality

Although the same Kiyohime as always, she is somewhat positive… positive…? She feels like playing towards that orientation. The gloomy part of her state of being has disappeared due to the summer heat.


Attitude towards the Master

Openly like usual, she greets good morning to them first thing in the morning; openly like usual, she sits next to them in the cafeteria; openly like usual, she comes to give them the towel she has if it were the case that they took a shower; openly like usual, she will get into their bed if there is space; to sum it up, openly like usual, she will not come to anyone but the Master.

However, in the situation where there is Berserker Kiyohime as well, this will consist of two Kiyohimes instead.


Dialogue Examples

"Kiyohime-chan's great victory! Just kidding…"
"Do… that, I want to do that sort of thing called, holding hands with our fingers interlocked… Ohh… I'm so happy…! That being the case, more than holding hands, this is what they now call husband and wife!"
"Love! I! You!... I'm—Out—Of—Sync!!"


Historical Character Image

It is no different from the time of her as a Berserker.


Character Image in "Fate/Grand Order"

It is no different from the time of her as a Berserker… but, the only thing one should be careful about is that she still exists as a Servant, that she is a Heroic Spirit of the past (and that she is an anti-hero). With how much common sense one has, one even understands that an appearance like her's is the standard at the waterside; even so, as far as she is concerned, for her own body to be in a swimsuit, it is possible to say that this is surely insane for her… Declaring that to be an easy understanding however, she changed into a swimsuit, and concerning her, given that in itself is the result of her having mustered her courage, one should give praise for her openheartedness, please.


General Armaments

A naginata (it is something part of a maiden's taste, somehow)

Comment from Illustrator

I also happened to receive a lot of requests with a variety for kimono-styled swimsuits, school swimsuits and bikinis, so I especially did some drastic designs for them based on the modifications of her attire. I conveyed all of it when I drew them. I thought one fellow was being uncertain and was absolutely going to come to me for a retake… I did not understand why I thought that. Nevertheless, given that I was considering her appearance as a battle character as well, I was able to implement the designs, and I was likewise happy. Speaking of such, for her third stage, I had put a parker on her in the beginning. However, because it was plain, I turned it into a kimono. Although, since it was later intended for her chest to be just a little bit bigger, the charm in huge breasts with the nature of cosplay made me put aside the first one… By the way, given that my child is being fed all the 4☆ Fou-kuns, has MAX Skills, Lv.5 Noble Phantasm and is LV 100, she is stronger than the limited teacher.

EDIT: Also Riyo!EoR Servants are up

Scary! Kiyohime's way of thinking is really scary!
 
In the end Herc in other classes is simply a hypothetical we don't have any concrete data on. However we can presume that they all have Godhand, and that he's got some of the same stuff. Nine Lives is also revealed to be a pretty ridiculous and amazing power, and we know that the strength of his character and status as a hero is a pinnacle.

TLDR he's strong but it's hard to say much beyond that for certain.

Also he's probably better as an Archer normally over Edgekles in my opinion. All you really need is mental interference resistance, Godhand and Nine Lives to be ridiculous. Edgekles's problem is that he's trying to be overwhelming by having a lot of Noble Phantasms. Something like that only really makes him a more limited Gilgamesh.

Class Skills

Magic Resistance: A
Cancels all A rank magic and below. As a matter of fact, modern magi are incapable of hurting Astolfo.
By means of Astolfo's "book" Noble Phantasm, this Skill's rank has been largely elevated; normally, it would have been at D rank.

Riding: A+
A talent for riding. Capable of managing even beast with the rank of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast. However, this doesn't apply to dragon kin.

Independent Action: B
The ability to act independently for a period even if magic energy supply from the Master is severed.
At B rank, even if he loses his Master he is able to stay manifested for a period of 2 days.
-----
Personal Skill
Evaporation of Reason: D
The loss of reason. Astolfo is incapable of keeping any and all secrets.
Astolfo would blurt out allies' true name and weakpoint and forget important secrets; at this point, it's already a type of curse.
This Skill also includes the effect of Instinct Skill, making it possible to grasp the most optimum course of action during combat.

Monstrous Strength: C-
Temporarily magnifies STR. However, during the usage of this Skill, Astolfo receives damage every turn.

Down with a Touch!: D
Trap of Argalia. Normally a Noble Phantasm. The jousting lance of the Knight Argalia. It possesses a golden spearhead.
Although its capacity to wound is low, simply wounding the enemy would dematerialise their feet, turning it possible to make them fall down.
To return themself from this fallen down state, a LCK check is necessary. Should it fail, the "fallen down" bad status would persist.
However, each turn there is a LCK upwards adjustment, making the success rate easier.
-----
Hippogriff
Otherworldly Phantasmal Horse

Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 2~50
Maximum target: 100 person

Hippogriff.
With the upper body of a griffin and the lower body of a horse, it is essentially an impossible existence of a Phantasmal Beast. Although its rank is lower compared to griffin, a beast from the age of the gods, its charging pulverization attack is equal to an A rank physical attack.

However, this Phantasmal Horse's true value lays somewhere else.
Drawing its origin as a halfling born from a griffin and a horse, its existence is extremely vague; and so it is able to put itself in the gap between dimensions, moving while permeating any and all sorts of attack.

La Black Luna
Magic Flute that Calls Panic

Rank: C
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~50
Maximum target: 100 person

La Black Luna.
A hunting horn that emits a magical note reminiscent to the neigh of a sacred horse and the howl of a dragon. Those within its range would be struck with the shock of an explosive sound. In the case where the damage is the same or higher than the target HP, they will be turned to to dust and scattered around. It was given to Astolfo by the witch of beauty, Logistilla, and was used to drive away a flock of harpies. Normally it is reduced to a smaller size and hung on the hip, but upon usage it becomes big enough to even encircle Astolfo.
In FateGO it is fundamentally not utilized.

Luna Break Manual
Universal Magic Guide

Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm
Range: -
Maximum target: 1 person

Luna Break Manual.
Inherited from a certain witch, it is a book with the means to shatter any and all magic recorded within it. Just by possessing it makes it possible to automatically cancel magic A rank and below. By evoking its true name and reading its content, it is possible to completely abolish anything besides Reality Marbles or things extremely close to high-thaumaturgy.
...But Astolfo has completely forgotten the true name of this book. Even Universal Magic Guide is just a noncomittal name.
The true name of this Noble Phantasm is "Destruction Declaration"-----Casseur de Logistille.
(In FateGO it is fundamentally not utilized.)

Personage
First pronoun: boku
Second pronoun: kimi
Third pronoun: kare/kanojo/aitsunado

- Character
(*doesnt really think about stuffs)

Just like a bright ads board*, no matter where Astolfo goes, Astolfo is always thoughtlessly optimistic.
So much that Astolfo would carry up and help a homunculus who had managed to wish for help without any particular reason.
For Astolfo, if it is "a deed that gives me a good feeling", then there's no problem whatsoever with it.
Astolfo would act as Astolfo wishes depending on an on the spot judgement, but his high luck is not just for show; most of the time, what Astolfo does end up go smoothly.
(Though there is that one accident where Astolfo got turned into a tree.)

Combined with an evaporating reason, it is not like there is no possibility for one to become liable to depravity--that is, to evil. However, to begin with the program of "doing bad things" basically has been omitted already from Astolfo's head, so it's all good.

*(lit キャッチコピー: large text that appears in ads or brochures to catch the reader's attention)

- Motives and attitude towards Master
Astolfo does not really have any wish towards the Holy Grail.
Astolfo simply and gladly helps anyone who seek to borrow Astolfo's strength.
However, in the case that the Master is recklessly evil, it would be impossible to make Astolfo to do the worst sort of harm. That is due the hidden Noble Phantasm "Destruction Declaration"; even the binding of Command Spells only has dull effect on Astolfo.

Should the Master be a virtuous one, Astolfo would earnestly embrace the Master, devoted to the point that Astolfo would wage Astolfo's own life quite easily. However, due to Astolfo's reason evaporating, there would be many times when Astolfo ends up making outrageous, careless mistakes as well.

- Speech example
"Astolfo of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne! Hereby dance as I fall*! Ah, although I don't actually fall!"
"Mm, perfect! Well, I'm tired for now, so I'm taking a break. Bye bye!"
"Alright, Master! I am your sword, your blade, your arrow! Since you really go out and trust someone weak like me, I'm gonna answer you with the best I got!"

(*as in falling leaves dancing and scattering)
-----
Depiction
The mood maker of the legend of Charlemagne.
Astolfo's strength is inferior to that of the famed Roland or Oliver, but being a noble knight with bottomless brightness, Astolfo had managed to overcome one uphill task after another.

In the process, Astolfo had obtained many things, from "the golden spear that would topple down anybody" that a man named Argalia had used and "a grimoire that shatters and and all sorts of magic" to even "the Phantasmal Beast hippogriff born from a horse and a griffin", applying them in various adventures.

...Astolfo, who had managed to obtain plenty of magic items, is at the same time also someone who does not really get attached to things. For example, Astolfo had once loaned the spear to the female knight Bradamante, and had readily set free the hippogriff during the journey to the moon.

Perhaps it is due to that personality that is void of greed that Astolfo managed to collect a numerous amount of Noble Phantasm. It is no different now that Astolfo is a Servant; apart from the hippogriff who isn't really going anywhere else, Astolfo would give away most of the Noble Phantasm should there be someone in need for it.

It is said that Astolfo's "reason" resides in the moon--or perhaps a different world that resembles the moon. Due to that, there is a case where Astolfo would regain Astolfo's innate wit during the full moon.

Astolfo had also participated in the fight against the infamous Roswal as one of the Twelfe Paladins of Charlemagne, and died in the process. Astolfo does not regret any of it... but of course, with the exception of the death of Astolfo's comrade.

To begin with, having a way of life that do not have anything to do with regret or remorse is how Astolfo is.
The fool set off on a trip, gaining various things in the course of it--and then discarded them all, dancing and singing as a fool would cheerfully.

Comment from Illustrator
Since this guy here reaaally just moves on his own, it was quite easy to come up with stuffs like his expression or direction of the design. Still, because progress-wise in Apocrypha version I had to plan him completely and thoroughly, I do remember some hardships. Eventually I did manage to apply some good concepts and ideas eventually, so I was able to enjoy it. Design wise, the area around his lower hip is wider compared to his relatively thinner back, then the shoulder deliberately becomes wider again; full of the cute, bewitching techniques that makes you unaware of his natural shoulder width.
