History Characters / FateExtellaTheUmbralStar

* ShesGotLegs: Considering one of the sectors of her stage contains giant statues of her legs, it's clear the developers want to remind us of this.

* ShesGotLegs: Her Lapis Lazuli dress, Mysterious Heroine X outfit, swimsuit, and palette swap of Mordred's outfit put particular emphasis on her usually-covered legs.

* CoolPet: He can summon Bucephalus to ride on and stomp enemies to death.

Archimedes is a Servant that was charged with the task guarding SE.RA.PH. He was chosen by the Moon Cell as an administrator based on the merits of his logic and impartiality, skills and unchanging opinions. Because of this task, he cannot participate in the Holy Grail War and while he can fight, he's watching the factions closely to see which one will win domination of the Moon Cell.

* YouShouldKnowThisAlready: If you haven't played the ''[=Fate/EXTRA=]'' games, figuring out his identity is not a fun time. It's an important part of his character arc that he's completely discarded any past identity and never refers to it at all, but it means newcomers to the timeline have no idea who they're dealing with.

* CryCute: Does this after the protagonist tells her about their dream about Attila. It's so effective that they feel terrible for making her cry.

* CryCute: Has one after the regelia rejects her in Nero's route.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: His normal aerial attack loop just like Gawain has him spinning like a top before slicing whatever enemy below him is into pieces.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Like Nameless, his normal aerial attacks often have him spinning really fast before impaling whatever is below him with his sword. He also provides a minor example with his Noble Phantasm, spinning in a full loop and creating a field of energy before igniting it and blowing up the enemies.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Expect to see Cu spin Gáe Bolg ''a lot'' during his combos.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: When Jeanne gets her combos going, she twirls her standard around in ways that would make a baton wielder jealous and only matched by Cu Chulainn. One of her air combos involves her spinning her standard so much she actually floats in mid-air like a helicopter of death.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Let's just say her moveset involves a ''lot'' of spins.

** Saying he's a MightyGlacier is forgetting that while his ability to dash is slower compared to other Lancers, his attacking speed is impressive and Karna boasts impressive power to effectively defeat most enemies regardless of status without much trouble even with average speed. He is also the LightningBruiser on his team going by his stats and definitely going by his fighting style. Additionally he has one of ''the'' highest overall balanced stats in the game[[note]]alongside Altera and Artoria, Karna has one of the highest balanced stats a Servant can have[[/note]] and [[UpToEleven it sure does]] make him one of the strongest Servants in the game itself being able to hit hard no matter what (Gilgamesh himself warns Altera of this during one of her missions when Karna is the boss Servant).

* ThisIsADrill: He pulls one [[{{BFS}} that's bigger than him]] during one of his combos. Also, as all people who have read ''Fate/stay night'' should know, Ea resembles a drill more than a sword, since '''[[UpToEleven it's older than the concept of the first sword]]'''.

** Takes this to such an [[UpToEleven absurd level]] with how his actions could greatly wreck havoc all over. [[spoiler:Due to the Moon Cell's database showing signs that each Extella is an alternating timeline to the one taking place, there are over hundreds if not, infinite Extellas out there. Who's to say that Archimedes hasn't been playing your alternate selves and your Servants and everyone else into his own hands. Even more, as long as the quantum time-lock hasn't kicked in, he can travel into the past of ''another'' alternate timeline in case his original plan in the timeline he is in fails to entirely work somehow and he can do this freely at will thanks to being the 'Supervisor' of the Moon Grail War taking place in each timeline. Plus considering that the Moon Cell keeps records of what has taken place down on Earth...let's just be thankful that he hasn't been smart enough to use the power of the Moon Cell to find a way to go back through time to before the Earth started to lose signs of life.]]

* LightningBruiser: [[RunningGag Again, a Saber]]. As Nero with Altera's power, she's the most clear-cut LightningBruiser of the Sabers, with the caveat that in Free Battle she ''cannot'' use Moon Crux Mode or her Noble Phantasm. Strength (C), Endurance (B), Agility (B), Mana (A+), Luck (EX) and NP (EX), [[UpToEleven WOW]], despite being slightly slower than Nero, she's stronger, more durable and has EX-Rank in Luck ''and'' for her NP. Guess gaining the power of Venus really does prove the PowerOfLove is strong.

* AnIcePerson: She specializes in ice magic when in Regalia form, and uses giant iceballs in her Noble Phantasm.

* {{Kitsune}}: She has fox ears and a tail, her personal realm in ''Extella Link'' is resplendant with Inari fox statues, and her status as a Heroic Spirit is based around her being mistaken ([[RetiredMonster or not]]) for a malevolent ''kitsune''. In actuality, she's a divine being who only has a superficial semblance to a nine-tailed fox.

An aspect of Sun Goddess Amaterasu, Tamamo was incarnated as a {{kitsune}} and became a courtesan in the Heian period of Japan. She's the leader of her faction, showing up one day with her own Hakuno, contesting Nero over rule of the Moon Cell.

* RapunzelHair: This ''IS'' Rider we're talking about. Unlike the classic depiction of Medusa, she has purple hair down to her ankles rather than snakes for hair, because she's not in her monster form.

* {{Foil}}: To ''Fate/Grand Order's'' [[spoiler: EMIYA Alter]]. While both ended up discarding their past identities of who they were, the reason for their actions directly contrast and clash against each other. Archer, in ''Fate/Extra''[[note]]he doesn't bring up his past in ''Fate/Extra CCC'' and in ''Fate/Extella'' it's there to symbolize his character development in his great trust in Hakuno[[/note]] disconnected his past from himself in order to move on with his life and to help others in a positive and selfless manner where he could continue to protect the lives of those around him by minimizing casualties. By doing this, he no longer feels burdened by his past weighing down on him and when it gets brought up, he is able to remain calm and composed without feeling intense regret. EMIYA Alter however did his mostly out of frustration towards his past actions and his motivation to serve someone he fell for. Additionally, EMIYA Alter still ''hates'' his past self, going as far as to dislike EMIYA, his past self as useless for not overcoming his past life as Shirou (which is even more ironic since EMIYA in ''Fate/Grand Order'' no longer regrets his actions in the past for the most and is overall much more upbeat, protective and cheerful.) Nowhere in the ''Extra'' timelines (''Extra CCC'' and ''Extella'' included) does Archer show ill will towards his former self, merely saying that 'he' knew he had it coming and that he has moved on. This implies that Archer while back as Shirou (in the ''Extra'' timeline before ''Fate/Extra'' took place), knew that he was going to face that death at some point and accepted it without defending himself, then when he became a Servant, he decided to improve on a positive note and resume his dream but by avoiding as much of the same mistakes that he did before.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: [[spoiler:Her Velber Titan form is referred to as "Sephyr" in the English localisation, where in the JP version she was named "Sefar" in reference to "The Great Fishing God of Sefar", since she's one in the same in the game]].

* ThatManIsDead: He answers to neither Charlemagne or his former epithet of "Charles the Great." He is ''Rex Magnus'' Karl, the pure distillation of the first Holy Roman Emperor who will accomplish as a Servant what he could not do as a mortal man.

* EyeBeam: His Brahmastra has turned into this, just like in ''Fate/EXTRA CCC''. TruthInTelevision, as the Brahmastra could be fired as a bow or used through one's glare in the original myth.

* MulticoloredHair: Black with white streaks in the shape of the Fleur de Lis, the symbol of France.

* StockShonenHero: He's a HotBlooded NiceGuy NaiveNewcomer who [[HeroesPreferSwords wields a sword]] and fights to protect the helpless and stop the encroaching threat of the Rex Magnus. He also has [[MessyHair messy]] MulticoloredHair and is a LightningBruiser to boot.

* MulticoloredHair: He has a white stripe in his hair.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bright pink (Aside from the aforementioned white stripe)

* CreepyCoolCrosses: A golden cross is placed on his chest. Another one appears in his Noble Phantasm Carolus Patricius Auctoritas, where after unleashing a barrage of cannons and missiles, the robot fires a WaveMotionGun at the sky that carves a giant cross in the clouds.

* MismatchedEyes: He has one blue eye (his natural color) and one [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eye]]. The red eye is where Brahmastra Kundala fires from.

* ChickMagnet: Same as before but now instead of just Nero, Tamamo and Elizabeth, Hakuno's "harem" also now includes Altera and Medusa. This is actually lampshaded a couple time in game.
---> '''Nero''': "''How are you so very popular, Praetor...''?"

* BadassBeard: He might not have grown it out that much, but the fact that he has stylized it to look like a cross definitely makes it impressive.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Elizabeth tries to invite Tamamo to join with her, trying to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope towards her. Tamamo completely denies this and gives a complete verbal [[ShutUpHannibal speech]] breakdown towards her. See [[TheReasonYouSuck The Reason You Suck]] below.

* HeelRealization: Has a minor one at seeing [[spoiler:Elizabeth, who [[BadBoss she's put down throughout her rule]], finally steal Nero's Regalia and take its power for herself. Seeing the anti-hero loudly and boastfully proclaim how ''[[ItsAllAboutMe everything]]'' in the Moon Cell now belongs to her, losing herself in the power she now holds, it seems to finally make her realize she's been acting [[NotSoDifferent no different in the slightest all this time]].]]

* NotSoDifferent: From Elizabeth. They're both anti-heroes, are both humorous yet extremely selfish, and show little affection anyone who isn't Hakuno. Best shown when Eliza [[spoiler:gets the Regalia and goes off on a tangent about how [[ItsAllAboutMe everything in the Moon Cell belongs to her]].]] Hakuno notes that Tamamo seems to be staring at her as if looking into a mirror.
** Subverted when Elizabeth tries to invite Tamamo to join with her, trying to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope towards her. Tamamo completely denies this and gives a complete verbal [[ShutUpHannibal speech]] breakdown towards her. See [[TheReasonYouSuck The Reason You Suck]] below.
** Feels this towards Altera as well, as she understood her motivation and why she is doing what she does and Tamamo acknowledges this. In the end, the feelings are mutual. Probably because of their background and their [[DarkAndTroubledPast past]], their status as Anti-Hero as well as their current motivation are indeed not so different towards each other. [[spoiler:As well as the fact that Tamamo knew her personally as well in distant past.]]

** She also gives a splendid one towards Elizabeth as well when rejecting her invitation. [[spoiler:Elizabeth invites Tamamo to join with her because she believes [[NotSoDifferent they would get along because of their same beliefs regarding humans in general]]. Tamamo [[ShutUpHannibal disagrees]]]], which also sums up about what she thinks of herself and about humans in general and why she thinks they are [[HumansAreSpecial special]]:

* NotSoDifferent: She has similar tastes in lovers and core nature with Tamamo, but Medusa makes it clear in her side story that's all they really have in common.

* NotSoDifferent:
** His unique dialogue with Nero should you have either of them fight the other shows that the two aren't so different in their individual actions. Nero is even a bit jealous that he had the better results. The resemblance is the fact that both used their own power to gain respect from those around them, the difference is the results. Nero's envy is due to how he gained respect from his army without doing anything to threaten them.
** Like Cu Chulainn, he's prone to being overenthusiastic while in combat. The two even share witty comments about each other should you have either Cu or Iskandar fight the other showing off their friendly personality as well.

* NotSoDifferent: Charlie tells this to Karl in the final route. [[spoiler:He reveals that he encountered the same ruins the "real" Karl did and knows of the pains he went through to be the king of the people. He also knows that he wanted to save Altera more than anything. Charlie goes on to say that he knows Karl's true desire: to live like everyone else. To be himself, not mixed with the fantastical Charlemagne. This sends Karl into a VillainousBreakdown.]]

* DrunkWithPower: After getting her hands on Nero's Regalia and successfully absorbing its power, Elizabeth starts loudly boasting that ''everything'' in the Moon Cell now belongs to her without question. Hakuno notes [[NotSoDifferent it's not that different from how Tamamo herself often acted when flaunting her own power]], something they also note that [[HeelRealization Tamamo herself seems to realize]].

* ReluctantMadScientist: When he was alive, Archimedes didn't necessarily have plans on creating weapons of mass destruction. However, he still ended up creating devices that way surpass any of the other state-of-the-art weapons from his era such as Katoptron Katho Phlegon, causing resulting in with him having the Aptitude for Slaughter (Tools) skill, a skill that normally only Assassins or Berserkers would have. It is a skill that Archimedes sees as a curse.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: "Body" Hakuno, at the end of the Dawn arc, uses the three pieces of the Regalia to send a record of their memories to their past self, at the cost of their life. This single act alerts "Mind" Hakuno to Archimedes's true motives, Altera's circumstances and the coming threat of Velbar, thus giving the Mind and Soul
the motivation to reconcile Nero and Tamamo in order to avert disaster. This also sentences the current timelines "Body" Hakuno to deletion by the Moon Cell.
