Um, I'm just going to give my own opinion on this...
I think a canon character can be changed if it's justified. For example, being summoned in an alternate class, or, say, if you're using Jeanne d'Arc giving her an NP that doesn't kill her so she's actually viable as a Servant.
The thing with Gawain is that he's deliberately a broken mess in /extra and that's why I feel like using him is kind of sketchy without serious alterations. Since I talk to Rain a lot I think that's probably part of the reasoning.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

When more people post, I'll get going with continuing.
Hopefully we'll get more SEED activity so I can continue on that front, too.

I'm honestly kind of stuck on my Servant now. ^^;
I have a Caster ready, who I absolutely love and is the best Servant I've made(mostly since the others, um, kind of suck but um), but I'm not sure I really want to use a Caster this time. Hm.

Saber is very displeased.
Saber
Archer's remark was... well it was awkward, to say the least. However, Saber did not desire to be too distracted by such a thing. Instead, she attempted to shrug it off and dismiss it, giving the other Servant only a brief, perplexed glance before her ire returned and focused wholly on Vash. So he believed the conflict could have ended without death... Saber felt, of course, it was important to protect others in need. To be one who saves others and keeps them safe. To fight for a noble cause. After all, a King should rule for their people, not for the sake of ruling. Utterly unnecessary bloodshed was not something she desired. However, the dragon... It was not simply attempting to retreat. The beast had entered an enraged state, it was ascending to unleash an attack that could have killed someone.
"Taking the life of another is not something done lightly," Saber began, her eyes fixed on Vash just as the blonde man's eyes were fixed on her, "But to kill an enemy is not something unexpected. To defend yourself, to defend others, to protect those in need. That dragon wasn't simply trying to retreat. It was preparing for a further attack, its wounds had enraged it! If it had completed this attack, it could have killed someone!"
In spite of the various wounds it had inflicted, Excalibur was not stained with blood. The holy blade gleamed as if had never once been used in battle.
"Surely, you cannot believe that we should simply have allowed it to attack," she continued, her tone growing more heated, "And kill one of our wounded?!"

Okays, time to work this out.
Um, alright.
I don't know anything about Saw so that's not really a good explanation.
... Hopefully more people post again.

That final stroke-the angle had been wrong, the flash of Excalibur's blade had not cut through the flesh cleanly as she expected. Worse still, the choking miasma was gathering, strangling the fresh air around her. It was even piercing her defenses. However, there was another option. At this close range, Saber could use a further ability without fear of harming even Archer. It was not the full extent of Excalibur's power, the release of energy not reach Archer's position. She just had to activate it...!
A golden glow once again suffused her blade, But this wasn't simply to use as propulsion. This was meant to kill. It built, shimmering across the weapon, so close to release! But Saber had not been prepared for suddenly being tackled. Her hands were still tight on her sword, but the one who had lept at her managed to dislodge her, the golden glow fading as she tumbled across the ground. What?! Who had... Saber's eyes fell on her attacker. It was the blonde man in the red coat. Vash. What had he been thinking?! Saber shot to her feet, to renew her assault, but the dragon had already ascended... and then, with a great roar, fell from the sky like a stone. Their efforts had slain the beast, in spite of... interferences.
But now... now it was time to gather the wounded and give them attention! They-
Saber paused as the words appeared before her eyes, and there was a brilliant light that consumed everything. Once again, she was struck with discomfort... and then, when the light faded, confusion. Those who had been injured were no longer so, and their location had changed entirely. An armory? There was only one thing she could assume, and that was that their Observer had done this.
Moments later, the explanation came and confirmed her assumption. Now that everyone was safe... Saber rounded on the blonde man.
Her words were sharp and pointed.
"What were you doing?"
Jakuzure Nonon
The thing had gotten all the way up to the sky?! They were really slacking off down below, and what the hell was the Blonde Porcupine doing?! Well, it was invading her airspace, and the damn thing had to go anyway! Nonon narrowed her eyes, her musical cannons glowing bright pink...
"I'm gonna blow you outta the sky, you-"
And then it fell with a roar, back down to earth.
"... Oh," Nonon stared down at where it had fallen, frowning slightly. "Gee, that was anti-climatic. Well, that gilded piece of garbage isn't going to be intruding any more, at least."
She shrugged, and was about to start descending to check if everyone was, you know, not dead and all, when the inexplicable words appeared in front of her eyes again. And then there was far, far too bright... before she was suddenly standing near the others. Her Goku uniform was once again inactive, brought to its dormant state, and she sure as hell hadn't been anywhere near these bozos before. Sure enough, an explanation from their captor came pretty quickly.
"Gee, maybe try and warn us next time you try and burn our eyes out?" she said, folding her arms across her chest. "Oh, wait, I'm sure that's too much trouble."
