Your character has displayed superior melee abilities, and superior magic and basically superior everything, even when it wasn't listed in your bio. You have also added abilities that were not listed in the bio. At the moment you have made your character into the most powerful in the RP who, given what you say he can do, shouldn't have struggled with anything even slightly.
He should not be better at melee then two people who can pretty much only do melee, one of whom is King Arthur.
Also, "wanton urge to murder random party members"? Let's see... dislike and suspicion directed towards some of the more evil-seeming ones... and in one case where the character's actions threatened to kill everyone involved, Archer actually killed him. Your character has repeatedly done things that make hims seem ridiculously suspicious and callous, and then outright says he kills people to live with no effort to point out that it's only his enemies, even if that's a lie it's far more intelligent then saying he's a murderer in front of people he has no idea how they will react.
In fact, why would they treat him different because he's a "party member"? Any character who brags about murder and does all the crap Sorin has done would be subjected to attempts to kill them.
Why should we completely violate our characters' concepts to bend over backwards so you can keep in a line of dialogue? We shouldn't have to.
It's even worse for Archer, who is extremely dedicated to the "kill one to save a hundred" ideal and that sort of thing basically forms a huge amount of his character.

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.

... Uh... okay, I understand you don't want your character to be killed... which could have been avoided so easily by just saying something different instead of saying you kill people, something everyone wanted because no-one wanted to get in this fight...
But there are other ways to avoid the attacks that are at least a bit less completely ridiculous. It's mentioned in both Saber and Archer's bios that they're Servants who are vastly stronger and faster then human beings, and in Saber's case she is probably the second most skilled swordsman in the Nasuverse and one of the overall best Servants, and best Saber. Archer is pretty incredibly good if he's not as good as Saber.
I could understand if one of them as attacking, but both? So effortlessly? As a player character? I figured Servants would probably be on the upper level of power levels for player characters in this, since you can still throw stuff at them that's difficult that they'll struggle with, but a player character who can deflect the blows of two Servants at the same time with no real effort involved? Who's so fast he thinks their movements are "painfully slow"?
You could just... I don't know, have him dodge and nearly get hit. It's improbable but much less ridiculous then unsheathing a sword and deflecting them both effortlessly.
Or we could have changed a few lines of dialogue and have this entire scenario never happen. This would have been the easiest thing to avoid. I didn't want to do it, Rain didn't want to do it, you didn't seem to want to do it and there's no reason for Sorin to think it's a good idea to walk up to a bunch of people he barely knows and brag about how he murders people. He could have even just fudged it a bit and said he does it only to his enemies or something. Or proposed it hypothetically or something.
I said multiple times I didn't want to do this but had no choice given that it'd be OOC if I did otherwise.

I really honestly don't even want to do this.
But Saber is basically "Lawful Good" exemplified in terms of Servants and talking about how you murder people cheerfully is not something I can just have her brush off.

No longer necessary.
... Well... don't say I didn't warn you, then...
... I don't know what you expect us to do.
He's outright admitted to killing people for his own benefits. Not even fighting them or anything. Not feeding off of his enemies.
I honestly have no clue what Saber can do now without her immediately confronting him about how he's effectively bragging about killing people. He's basically said he kills and eats people and doesn't feel remorse or try and, I don't know, feed without killing or something.
I have no idea what I can do with Saber that isn't confronting him and likely ending up trying to kill him. There's nothing else I can even think of that's IC.

Um... Ghost Rider appeared to be trying to kill the rest of the party, to the players as well even if not all the characters thought so.
The issue here is that he's bragging about killing people, and not like he fights them or something and they're his enemies. He's not just saying "kills and feeds on his enemies" or something. That'd be fine, if kind of uncomfortable especially given the other stuff he does but it's not like Saber wasn't already uncomfortable with him. He's openly saying he kills anyone. As far as Saber knows, a vampire doesn't actually have to kill in order to feed, as well.
At the very least they're going to want to subdue him if nothing else.
But I don't want to just start a fight right now. I don't want to get into trying to kill a player character.
The mildest reaction I can think of is trying to be as slow about it as possible and having Saber verbally confront him about it before attacking since that at least gives a chance for... something to happen before there's an actual fight, though I don't know what.

I'd use my Caster, but I already have a Servant and I didn't want to have only one Servant with a Caster playstyle this time.
... And all my remotely workable ideas ended up as Saber. ^^;

I don't really want to start off a fight, but, I mean...
Blatantly basically bragging about being a serial killer, um... yes, Saber is capable of diplomacy but when you act blatantly evil, er...
... I mean the bragging about being a serial killer thing would probably remind her about one of the more monstrously evil people she's ever encountered.

It's not "see evil? Must kill!" But she is generally absolutely horrified when she sees people... baaasicaly do what Sorin is saying he does and is pretty anti-evil in generally so uh.
