Samson's NP should be anti-fortress rather than anti-unit.
Yeah, I wanted to do someting like that, but I couldn't figure out how to make it useful. Any ideas?
Although it's from the Learn More with Manga! thing, right? Is that more than just a silly web comic?
The actual plot of Bunyan's event was largely serious, in the end ...Bar the random genderflip, her actual sheet is largely serious.
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.I'll just keep the Bunyan Rider then and have that explain the differences.
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'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.)
Being able to form your own army of Assassins during a Grail War is a pretty useful power though.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.Being able to form your own army of Assassins during a Grail War is a pretty useful power though.
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.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.
True, I guess.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.)

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。

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。

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.Heracles's really powerful and effective as a Berserker in HGW, as we've seen in the 5th Fuyuki war. What would he have been like in another class? His legend has him being really cunning, after all. Which class would work best for him, you think?
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.Heracles's really powerful and effective as a Berserker in HGW, as we've seen in the 5th Fuyuki war.

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.)

- 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. (Konoe Ototsugu)
(basically astolfo got the waist women dream of)

I know it's inevitable, but please don't remind me of it more, Astolfo.
