As I foresee that Tyaethe is probably going to need to say something in response to other people tackling Mr. Vampire there, I'll hold off on immediately responding. xD

Fate/illuminated histoire

• Name: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, proud owner of a stupidly long name.
• Class: Saber
• Appearance: Still just letting you see.
• Abilities:
  • Strength: D
  • Endurance: B
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: B
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm: -
• Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance: C. Despite being a Saber, Nero boast a pitifully low magic resistance due to her own lack of interaction with the art.
• Personal Skills:
  • Divinity: A++ (D). With the family descent from Mars, and holding a direct descent back to the founding of the family tree through her mother, Nero holds a natural level of Divinity. However, through Imperial Privilege--and specifically the Imperial Cult, which holds the dead Emperors as deities and in places and parts held select Emperors as living gods, including Nero--she has achieved the highest possible level of Divinity. Not that this does terribly much, but it's good for her ego.
  • Imperial Privilege: EX. A function of Aestus Domus Aurea, Nero's insistence that a certain ability should be the providence of the Emperor can make this a reality for a period. Such insistence is the entire basis for her class, granting the Emperor a truly impressive grasp of swordsmanship for one that would never have needed to use it, and skills in the various fields of athletics the Romans entertained (including wrestling, even if you're a lion). Such insistence gives her a truly diverse skill set despite her lack of direct combat power, from Riding through to all aspects of leading, arranging, and planning a military campaign from the tactical to the strategic level. These skills also work on the less relevant civic level--legal matters, politics, architecture and city planning; the role of an Emperor is vast. Finally, Nero's belief in her own artistic talent can be fully vindicated through the expression of this skill, although given her lack of taste...
    Only in two regards does this give Nero an ability that could be considered 'supernatural': augmenting the Divinity so attributed to the Emperor, and a link to the Emperor's role as Pontifex Maximus in the guise of casting and reading various auguries. Why would an Emperor possess some power not of this world, save for the gods' favour?
  • Invictus Spiritus: A. A skill born from an anecdote where, three days after her death, a servant thought to cover her body--only for the apparently-deceased emperor to open her eyes and thank him. It is further born from the possibility of a wraith born of her resentment still lingering long after her demise...
    Similar in nature to Battle Continuation, only rather than allowing for her Nero to continue fighting after receiving a fatal wound, it instead means not dying when fatally wounded--at least, not for a much longer period than a Servant should be able to hold on despite the severity. At this rank, stubbornness alone is enough to force survival for several days in spirit form regardless of injury--although on her own, she could never recover from this state.
  • Migraine: B. The greatest limitation on Nero's exercise of her considerable talents is, of course, the frequent recurring migraines. At least her ability to swing a sword is undiminished.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Aestus Domus Aurea. Type: Reality Marble. The manifestation of the Emperor's unyielding belief in her own abilities and ego, even in the face of an uncooperative Senate, a coup, and even her own madness. It takes the form of the theatre that at once expresses the combination of her civic abilities in rebuilding from the fire, architectural skill, and a venue for her artistic ambitions. Passively, it grants her the ability to access skills she never learned or at a level superior to her life (see above) and justifies her position as the strongest class of Servant.
    Activated, the world created is a perfect venue for whatever the Emperor might desire--cooking or arts, gladiatorial combat or simply fighting. In the face of the Emperor's magnificence, enemies' statistics are ranked down, progressively getting more severe if the theatre is maintained for long enough, such that none may outshine the theatre's star. And of course, Nero herself is strengthened--the environment of her theatre is always going to match her desires, and within its confines the truly theatrical like a flaming sword and roses are all but guaranteed.
• Personality: There are several words that can be used to describe Nero's attitude, but inevitably it all comes round to the obvious: if there's anyone in the world that can possibly compete with her by ego alone, then it's the King of Heroes, followed shortly thereafter by the King of Conquerors. She assumes, from the start, that she is the greatest of artists, able to rival the very gods themselves, and that everything she does must be perfect. To that end, she puts a truly vast amount of passion into everything that she does--a passion that she expects to be reciprocated, even if her subjects cannot possibly match it or understand the art produced.
  Her driving desire, besides art, is beauty (and for some reason, competing with Heracles. Given that she's a short girl, wrestling a lion might be impressive but it's a long way off), and it doesn't matter if you're male or female to that end in getting her interest. Because of this, she has little direct interest in wealth or treasure--but the trappings of it greatly appeal to her interests.
  Despite her general attitude being upbeat, she's quite easily angered by criticising her art or refusing to experience it, believing that it is something to be admired and praised even if beyond your comprehension. On the flip side, flattering her is an easy way to get into Nero's good graces and manipulate her.

I hope you feel better now.

Fate/Rising Sun

Oda Nobunaga

"As much as I could hide myself in spiritual form, it would mean not being able to see," the shorter girl replied, already hitting upon the obvious limitation of this. An Assassin might be able to sneak around and find out what was going on without being detected but most Servants, even archers, wouldn't have the level of stealth required to avoid another Servant. "If we run into difficulty this early in the war, most Servants would want to hold back for fear of revealing their identity too early and setting themselves up for defeat."

That she wanted to meet the other Servants was an added bonus. Nobunaga might be an excellent opponent to the older Servants, but if some modern swordmaster were to come along then they would be in considerably more trouble--if she could get an ally able to keep pace with more modern threats, then that would reduce the number of possible avenues of defeat considerably.

And she wasn't going to be blind to any betrayal this time.

Quiet oni is going to stay quiet to try to not jinx using Asahi as bait instead. :p

Fate/Rising Sun

Oda Nobunaga

"It can't be helped," the Archer said with a grin, folding her arms. It was good for her Master to get on board with everything so quickly; it simply wouldn't do to waste time persuading her to get on board when there was reconnaissance to be done and enemies to assess. Who knew if any of the other famous warlords had shown up? It wouldn't do to let them get an advantage in building an army if the war headed in that direction. "The only way out for you is if someone kills you and I find another Master, so we have to stick together until this all ends."

Still, looking more serious, the Archer couldn't avoid letting out a disappointed huff, "It's a shame that it has to be happening out here. I would have liked to see how much all of Japan has changed since the Sengoku Jidai, not in a town that has barely changed since the province was renamed."

"The first thing we have to do, Master, is look around. There can be no strategy without knowledge of the land."

Fate/Eternum — Reboot

Kaguya-Hime

"I suppose if you ask so nicely," the Caster said, turning an eye to the dark alleyway and starting to walk down. Such an amusing girl, working hard to resist her charms and rushing off to be heroic. Spending another few minutes just finding this would-be kidnapper before getting back to her food... that would be no problem at all. Did they really think that the darkness and the invisibility was enough?

Before, they had been quite camouflaged by the mass of people and the smells of Burger Wham; picking out precisely who the kidnapper was would simply be too difficult, especially with Kaguya not paying particular attention. Down here in this dark ally, though, there wasn't anyone else aside from the target and abductee to get mixed up with, only one person so very human, alive, and warm, and full of blood, and not a child.

And their shoulder should be somewhere about... there.

Of course, grabbing shady invisible people in dark alleys wasn't the safest thing to do. How fast could they be, though?

Saotome Hana

"Ten miles isn't a warmup to anyone now except fitness nuts and monsters!" Hana insisted, having recovered her indignation and breath all at once, "It's not like I had a chance to say no before I was dragged out here..."

Really, she didn't know how far they had gotten either? Particularly not with Berserker setting the pace for her...

Fate/Rising Sun

Frederika Lösnich

The journey was considerably longer than she had planned for... the Church's knowledge had been embarrassingly out of date, and after summoning having to cross the breadth of Japan, from Kyushu to Honshu. Oh, it wasn't the largest internal journey, but it was certainly one that assiduously avoided ending up in major population centres for long. The funds she had for this journey had become even more depleted than she thought...

Though nobody could be to blame but the nun herself, of course. There had been no need to pay the fare for two people, with a Servant able to occupy a spiritual form for the entire journey if they chose, but would that not be wrong? There were two of them travelling after all. And if Lancer had decided to manifest this would have been quite the problem.

Now... now she had to fight, and find out if this was THE holy grail. It probably wasn't, but nonetheless... at least she might have some small advantage in this war? Her Servant might not have been the most powerful of Heroic Spirits but this was Japan, which might just tip the scales in their direction.

Looking out of her hotel room--and at least this small town had enough tourism for that to be relevant--at the afternoon sun, Frederika thought the scenery was quite beautiful. If only they could talk this out rather than fight.

Elsewhere, in a house of little interest, a delicate lady was sat and putting the finishing touches on her calligraphy. "I hope that your preparations are complete, conjuror. Communications with the outside should soon be delayed, and with that tunnel closed... nobody will be able to quickly leave."

Fate/Rising Sun

Accepted.
