@Cu Chulainn: Hmm... I mean, it'd make sense, but Perseus already has a ton of NPs in canon.

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.

Mihama Nanako
It was a little strange now, seeing Meltryllis with legs in proportion to her body made Nanako realize just how small her Servant was. Nanako had never thought of herself as particularly tall. Indeed, she was about average for her age and ethnicity. But being alongside Meltryllis now made her feel like she was considerably above that. But the fact was simply that Meltryllis was, well... she'd never tell her Servant it was cute. That would upset her even more, and that was the last thing she wanted to do. To be honest, Nanako actually felt a little guilty over thinking as such, given how important the Alter Ego's original prosthetics seemed to be to her. Thankfully, it didn't seem like she was having any trouble adjusting to the different set.
The best thing, really, was simply not to focus on the topic. Nor, indeed, to focus on how lewd Meltryllis's outfit was any more then necessary. At least everything was covered...
No, the topic at hand was where to go next, and Meltryllis wanted to go straight for the town center? Well, she would have been fine with that. But...
"Fusang's center?" she asked, "That would be the Tower of Babylonia."
She pointed. Indeed, dead in the center of Fusang, there was an immense black building, towering above nearly any other structure. There was only one other building that dwarfed even it. It was stunning how quickly the space elevator, built near the Tower, was progressing.
But for now, Nanako was pointing to the windowless black building.
"But you can't go in there without authorization," she explained, "It's surrounded by bounded fields and high-tech security, we can't just go in there and use the internet... oh!"
Reaching into her bag, Nanako quickly pulled out her phone. The background was a purple-haired girl, Mei-chan from Brave Shine Mei-chan. She was cute, and the show itself was fun. With a smile, Nanako offered her phone to Meltryllis.
"You can use my phone to get online!"

@1Charak2: I mean... it looked like you were saying she had normal legs underneath the armor. ^^; Even if it was a misunderstanding, it's hard to expect people not to try and correct that. I don't think any malicious intent was meant or anything.
But in any case the main point is Melt has non-murder prosthetic legs at the moment.

@1Charak2: She's still missing almost her entire leg below the knee, and it's important to her character that she is. ^^; She kind of needs prosthetic legs.
Also the picture you're talking about was posted earlier to show her legs end pretty high up. ... Also if you look at how her legs are designed, there's no room for feet or lower leg in them.
... Also prosthetics were literally being bought in my last post, which is part of the process of making sure Melt's original prosthetics don't kill people. ^^;

"Awww," Hina visibly sagged, arms hanging beneath her as she did, "We've gotta get home pretty soon too..."
For whatever reason, it seemed as if she had really wanted to meet Himeko. Chise simply bobbed her head slightly.
"Thank you, onee-san," said the black-haired little girl, "If she'll be back soon, we can just wait. Right Hina-chan?"
For a few moments, the brunette girl was silent. Then she suddenly brightened, nodding rapidly as she did.
"Yeah! That's true! We do have a little bit of time..." she trailed off for a moment, looking thoughtful, before flashing a grin to the older girls, "Besides, as long as there's an onee-san around here I don't think I'll make Hisa-nee worry too much!"
Notably, Hina was only looking at Nico when she mentioned 'an onee-san'.
"I don't think your older sister is going to be that worried... it's not that late. You talk about her an awful lot."
"Because Hisa-nee is the best!"
Chise sighed before turning her attention to the two older girls.
"I'm Fujikawa Chise," she introduced herself, "And this is-"
"Minami Hina!" declared the other girl, cheerfully, waving, "Do you go to the same school as us!?"
She pointed excitedly at Hanako.

"There's no need for me to be friends with junk," replied Kagami, with a shrug, "I am not one to spend time with unnecessary things."
The centipede shade suddenly convulsed, and lashed out blindly. Another barrage of lasers fell onto its body, from Kagami's dozens of flashing mirrors. This time, the creature lay still, smoking. Moments later, its grotesque, damaged body began to dissipate, black mist floating into the air as it came apart. The shade had been slaughtered, though its death didn't rule out the possibility of other shades forming in the area, it was most certainly destroyed.
"However..." Kagami's thin smile grew wider, "You are right on one topic. You are indeed a fellow magical girl, and that means you are a potential opponent. I shall allow you the opportunity to lay down your Hex Orb and walk away. The outcome of our battle is inevitable anyway."

@LukasVolkov: Okay so...
To begin with, you made a Saber and barely mentioned her skill with a sword. Which, notably, was extremely high: She was a duelist who most notably fought off multiple men in one of her most famous duels.
You inexplicably give her the ability to breath fire rather then give her any kind of sword skill or anything of that nature as a Noble Phantasm. You don't even reference the famous incident where she set a fire in a church to run off with one of her female lovers who had been forced to become a nun, which seems like a natural inspiration for a Noble Phantasm.
Her skills are barely related to her story aside from "was very well-known". The Duelist Focus skill actually contradicts one of her most notable fencing exploits.
PKMN already covered the problem with the mind control skill.
I'm sorry if this comes across as sort of harsh, but La Maupin is a really interesting historical figure and you've not really done a good job converting her into a Servant or in making a Saber-class Servant in general.
The current NPs need to be scrapped. She should really have some sort of sword skill, something like some of the Japanese Servants have, mentioned there. Perhaps something related to combining fencing and performance. And an NP related to the convent burning seems like a natural choice given what a notable part of her life it was. The Skills need a complete rewrite.

Melt is effectively a quadruple amputee and Passionlip can't perceive her own body as abnormal.

It's okay, you replied now. ^^; I'll get something up on the weekend.
Nanako is struggling with trying to build a relationship with her new Servant and also keeping her legs from killing people.
Kobayashi Seria
It looked like the boy was satisfied with the apology, at least. And that, thankfully, a fight hadn't started. She was aware that Mordred hadn't seemed to intend to actually fight, given how her sword worked in relation to one of her other Noble Phantasms. But pulling out a sword in a crowded convenience store was still worrying, to say the least.
Sir Lancelot and Sir Mordred... her Servant, and the Servant of-actually, who was Lancelot's Master? It didn't look like they were around... Well, it wasn't uncommon for a Servant to go out on their own, anyway. What the two Knights of the Round Table discussed was interesting, to say the least. It was impossible not to be aware that Arthur Pendragon had been summoned, and that she was in fact a woman. Were further Knights going to be summoned, as if her appearance was a catalyst for them? She couldn't help but wonder if that was why she had been able to summon Mordred, given that she possessed no catalyst of her own...
Seria was dragged out of her thoughts when Mordred's hand suddenly came to rest on her shoulder. Reddening immediately, she tried to pull away.
"I-I'm not some e-easily charmed m-maiden!" she stammered, embarrassed at the assertion. Besides, Lancelot... well... well, neither of them needed to know about that anyway. "I'm a p-proud magus!"

While it was obvious that Meltryllis was upset, there was nothing else that could be done. It was for the safety of the people of Fusang and for the Alter Ego's own benefit that they got her replacement prosthetics that were less likely to kill people. Nanako hoped that it wasn't going to be something that Meltryllis would hold against her, even if it seemed likely she would. She was already thinking of some way to try and make it up to her, but to be honest that would require getting to know her Servant better, to learn just what it was that Meltryllis enjoyed.
... That wasn't being kind of scary and pointing her people-melting knee spikes at Nanako's face.
Nanako wasn't keen on repeating that experience any time soon.
In order to avoid the crowds, Nanako took a way through the back alleys, a shortcut to the clinic she'd learned simply from living in Fusang. It wasn't difficult to memorize. Soon enough, they'd arrived.
As much as Nanako was trying to make the experience... well... at least not take very long, there was nothing that could really be done about that. Meltryllis was seething the entire time, especially once it became clear that the new prosthetic legs would be more proportional to her body size to ensure that they fit properly. The procedure also... wasn't exactly cheap. But even if she was angry and didn't like this one bit, it was still something that would ultimately benefit her Servant, and so Nanako paid for it without much hesitation.
To be honest, Melt seemed to be so irritated that Nanako wasn't even sure if apologizing to her again was a good idea. Rather, maybe it was best to simply move on as quickly as they could. When they left the clinic, there was a few different directions they could go in.
"... So... the shopping district is that way," she said, indicating to the north, "It's also linked to the entertainment district. Er... is there anywhere you'd like to see first?"
