SigmaThe Dioscuri
- Class: Rider
- True Name: Castor and Pollux
- Appearance:
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Personality:
- Castor: Oddly enough, Castor is the more serious of the two Dioscuri, a fact that originated from her more vulnerable mortality which pushed her to train and gain skills far beyond what her statue would suggest. In life prior to Pollux’s sharing of divinity with her, she was the twin who had the most danger posed to her, but all the same faced every adversity and challenge without complaint, and as a hero took what she wanted when she wanted to alongside her twin’s own sense of heroic greed. Her seriousness most often applied to battle and the formation/implementation of plans, though as a heroic spirit like her brother she too put her all into what she does, and does so with an excited smile on her face especially in battle. This being said, she does have her own “soft” side, usually when it comes to animals like horses and such. Albeit, she does not like being treated like a small child all the time, a small thing that can add to her frustration.
Ironically, between her and her twin she has the greatest appetite when it comes to food and is the biggest flirt when it comes to girls she finds cute or pretty....or even with guys she has taken a liking to otherwise. She loves her sisters and her twin greatly, and to hear them insulted or worse is to earn her ire in some form or another. Indeed, to be left without Pollux is to her a fate worse than death as well. Though even in death, she had attempted to calm her grieving twin to get him to move on for his sake, a thing she feels was slightly selfish considering she knew how “Polly” (as she affectionately nicknamed him) would inevitably react to things. - Pollux: Pollux is the type of guy who at first glance seems the most relaxed of the Dioscuri, the most laid-back on average and willing to crack a joke or “open a cold one with the boys” and enjoy some jolly camaraderie with his allies. Albeit he has a notable competitive streak in regards to his personality, and enjoys competitions and challenges quite a bit a result. That being said, he is the type who also takes battle and serious situations in fact seriously, though his jovial self and competitive nature aren’t always utterly lost in these instances depending on what’s happening.
As a heroic spirit he puts his pride and self on the line in battle to its fullest, and got to where he was through hard work and adventures. Though as a twin and sibling he carries within him a great love of his sisters and especially his twin Castor. Indeed, one could call him “the heart” of the twins at his core, one reason he held a grudge against his cousins alongside his twin in life, and also the reason he couldn’t imagine being separated from Castor by death and thus wished to join her side always. Incidentally, he doesn’t mind donning male or female fashions when it comes to casual clothes.

- Class Skills:
- Riding: A+
Is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding. All vehicles (including ships) and all creatures up to the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind. - Magic Resistance: B
-Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.
- Riding: A+
- Personal Skills:
- Divinity: A
-Due to the splitting of Pollux’s immortality with Castor in their legend, and their rising to the status of gods after death, the rank of this skill is at “A” and applies to both of them. - Combination: A
-Is a Skill that displays how much one's combat power increases when on a united front with a specific person.
Castor and Pollux were always there for each other, twins to the end, working together, fighting together, even dying together, and due to this they can virtually (if not literally due to one of their NP's synergizees with this) read each other’s minds when it comes to working together as servants even if not in line of sight with each other. - Pankration: A++
-The Ancient Greek form of mixed martial arts whose name literally means “all of power”, it incorporated boxing and wrestling techniques and other moves, and whilst both possess these skills Pollux showed the extent of the two’s skills by being compared to Heracles’ own might/skill in this area, and further during a bout he killed King Amykos (a son of Poseidon and a nymph) who ruled the mythical Bebryces people of the east. - Animal Dialogue: D++
-When it comes to equines and creatures of the sea, Pollux more than admits that Castor is the expert at these matters, though this skill like their others applies to both of them. Communication of even complex matters with these sorts of creatures is made wholly possible by raising the intelligence of the animals in question for a temporary time. - Mana Burst (Plasma): A
-A form of mana burst that, with the infusion of the user's magical energy into something, imparts said "something" with red-hot plasma and superheats it and causes it to crackle with blue or purple electricity-like (in appearance only) energies over its surface. For some objects, those that are non-NP's and things that aren't generic servant weapons that is, this infusion is normally destructive to the object in question unless it can tolerate being literally infused with plasma.
- Divinity: A
- Noble Phantasm(s):
- Name: Gemini, ”The Starry Eternal Bond: Strike The Heavens and Pierce The Earth”
- Rank: A+
- Type: Anti-Unit
- Appearance/Description: A Noble Phantasm that applies to both of them as the single servant they compose. In their lives, Castor and Pollux were inseparable, though when Castor was dying it devastated Pollux so much that he asked Zeus (his father) to share his immortality/divinity with Castor so they would never be apart and could die together. It was this that brought on one of the few kind acts of the gods, as Zeus did this and put them up in the stars as the constellation Gemini.
This Noble Phantasm embodies their powerful bond that passed beyond the veil of life and even through death. However, Gemini as a constellation also has other ties, including its own meteor shower called “Geminids”. Further associated to this constellation is Castor being pictured holding an arrow as part of the constellation, and this being related to an epithet of the twins’ life where Zeus killed Idas with a lightning bolt he threw from Olympus to save Pollux.
In the end, the constellation’s own nature and epithets connected to the twins themselves have shaped Gemini into a Noble Phantasm of mighty power, one which can rain down mighty power from the heavens. A single powerful meteor strike, cracking with energy and lightning, is fired off at such incredible speeds it in action looks like a celestial laser beam fired from the heavens. Either or both Castor and Pollux can activate this Noble Phantasm by calling its name, allowing up to two independent instances of this to be used at once if both are manifested.
- Name: Aníkitos Mazí (or “invincible together”), “As One We Are Unbeaten”
- Rank: B
- Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
- Appearance/Description: With his shared divinity with Castor on the part of Castor, and legend about one or the other being alive at the time, a unique Noble Phantasm has arisen from this that applies to both of the twins. It combines them into essentially one servant, allowing one of them to manifest at a time or allowing both to manifest at once. In the case only one is manifested, their parameters remain normally intact. In the case of both manifesting, they receive a one-rank debuff to all of their base parameters, but can in exchange are able to use their other NP's independently at the same times for extra Noble Phantasm usage.
Further, when one is "stored" away they can still communicate with the manifested twin within said twin's mind. When both are manifested, this becomes a sort of telepathic communication between the two facilitated by the "Combination" skill as well.
- Name: Horseman Gods, “Riding Upon The Ocean’s Grey Waves”
- Rank: A
- Type: Anti-Army
- Appearance: A pair of beautiful, white, divine horses, which having an almost water-like sheen to their bodies. These mounts are the crystallization of Castor and Pollux’s divine power, of their enshrinement as gods after death, and also were noted as being their mounts in depictions of the two. They have glorious golden bridles on them and polished leather saddles as well.
- Description: The mounts of the Dioscuri, which each or both can summon to ride upon at great speeds (and dismiss) without having to activate this Noble Phantasm proper. These horses can also walk upon water without issue. However, when this Noble Phantasm is activated, the horses are surrounded by an corona of energy that is water-like in its physical composition. As they charge onward, this corona of water-like magical energy damages and harms all that gets in its path.
- Changes: Castor is female, as in this version the fact her and Pollux are “twins” caused confusion that they were of the same sex as well. In reality, this thought of them “being the same sex” is not the actual case, as Castor is female and Pollux is male.
Further, as a fun side note, women swore by Castor’s name in the comedies of Plautus, and men by the name of Pollux in the same comedies, leaving some interpretation as to why that was made the case as well.
