Dark. Cloak. Exceedingly brief time to take things in. All things conducive to remembering little about the person. And this is the same world where everyone missed a white-haired child in Whitechapel. :/

I went for a weaker character to avoid spammy arguments and I get this... >.<

  • Class: Rider
  • True Name: Tisquantum
  • Gender: Male
  • Height/Weight:
  • Height: 5'11"
  • Weight: 168 lbs
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Appearance: Horsey 2.0!
  • Personality: Strong, brave and curtious. Squanto is a man of honor and it shows for his respect for man and the land they inhabit. Squanto isn't easy to anger but that doesn't mean he's incapable of it. Destroying the land or animals needlessly will get on his bad side. Since being summoned into modern times, Squanto is disappointed with modern developments. The cities, the cars, everything and how people evolved rub him the wrong way. He feels that modern people should find a harmony of both technology and nature, but deep down he knows that will never happen.
  • Stats:
    • Strength: B
    • Endurance: C
    • Agility: A+
    • Magical Energy: C
    • Luck: D
  • Noble Phantasm: B
  • Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance - C: Being a Rider, Squanto has a certain degree of magic resistance. He's immune to anything that has less than three verses and takes decreased damage from anything with more than three verses.
  • Riding - A+: This one is pretty self explanatory. Squanto is capable of riding anything that isn't of the dragon family.
  • Personal Skills:
    • Animal Dialogue - C: Due to his upbringing and experience with nature, Squanto is capable of talking and understanding animals of any kind.
    • Bravery - A: Squanto is unaffected by mind magic.
•Noble Phantasms:
  • Three Sisters, Hand of the Nature Spirits (Anti-Unit/Support): Squanto calls up three nature spirits to aid in his fight. First a cold air rushes through the battle field as birds fly over, freezing the ground and opponent upon contact. Second, black of feathers falls from the sky to cloud the foes vision. The last spirit bursts from the ground in the form of a mighty black horse. Squanto takes helm of the horse, able to ride him after the final attack is dealt. The horse can be summoned outside of the Noble Phantasm, unlike the assault of nature spirits which can only be utilized during the attack.
  • Wampanoag, Spear of the First Light(Support): Squanto's hunting lance named after the Native American Nation. Squanto uses the spear as a symbol of the fraternity held with the pilgrims during their settlement. Upon calling its name, a defensive barrier of light enshrouds both Squanto and his master. The barrier is a representation of the eternal bond between Master and Servant and a symbol of his past.

Hey, uhm, I know this question might look bad, but I sincerely don't intend on making a character who's too Overpowered here. I just find that Masters aren't very fun without fun powers...

But would a Reality Marble or the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception be allowed? Mind that, with the latter, the character would be weak enough in other regards to make up for the fact that, should she catch you, you're at the very least missing a limb. I haven't actually worked out the full reality marble details yet but I have lots of fun coming up with them.

If surviving in the wilderness counts as battle skills, than most native americans would qualify as servants. I'd reject it on the basis that he has no actual history of fighting.

That's not how Servants work. Jack the Ripper kills people, but she doesn't have a history of battle.

Do you honestly think Shakespeare has a history of battle? Medea never fought once, either.

I thought qualifying to be a servant was a matter of whether or not the person had done anything in life that could be considered a 'miracle' rather than anything to do with fighting.

Also, I'm thinking of joining, I'll try to have a character up by the end of the day. Is there a list of people that have been claimed as servants so far?

Fighting is never actually mentioned as a requirement for becoming a heroic spirit, nor for being an Archer. Heck, Atalanta's most famous for hunting a giant boar, being raised by bears and getting turned into a lion for having sex in the wrong place, actual battle experience is a sidenote that's only present in some versions of her legend.

Also, you were arguing that he can't qualify to be a servant, so suddenly saying that those classes don't count seems like a really lazy defense.

What kind of caster goes up in hand to hand combat? By definition, Casters cast spells, not fight. Assassins by definition are not fighters. Have you ever seen an assassin win a head to head fight? By definition, they are covert operation killers, which is what Jack was.

Atlanta was known for hunting. Your servant is known for guiding immigrants.

While I agree to some extent neo, I must say that hunting animals and hunting men are two totally different things.

Name: Sarina Brooke

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Description: 5'2 feet tall, 100 pounds. Blue Hair, blue eyes. Dyed hair because she think it looks cool as she watches anime. Her hair is astoundingly messy and seems to go off in random directions down to her shoulders. Strands go every which way curving downwards. Is a poor student so doesn't own many sets of clothes. Usually found in some sort of t-shirt, jacket jeans combo with ocassional tracksuit thrown in. Prefers wearing red in direct contrast to her hair and eyes, and thus has a red jacket that she favours and wears almost all the time. Blue jeans are the norm with a white t-shirt. Also, she doesn't care at all about fashion so goes with what she thinks is comfortable and clean for the day (Red Jacket does not count). Owns a single pair of running shoes that she wears for all ocassions.

Personality: Weird girl who always seems to be thinking about strange things. Is rarely serious and her thought process is difficult to understand. For example, if you're having a conversation about politics, she could suddenly say, "Hockey gold, Canada or Russia?" (Thought process would be politics -> different countries -> intercountry sports rivalries, Canada or Russia?)

Abilities: Magic Circuits. No potential, no clue how to use them.

Bio: Sarina was born in England and her parents sent her abroad to America to study. Her official guardian is her uncle but the two dislike each other and live seperately. She rents a cheap apartment a good distance away from the school and pays the bills with the money her parents send over and some of her part-time wages. Her job is at a restaurant where she's learning to be a chef. The job takes up her time during weekends.

Sarina dislikes school in general as she has to do work and doesn't get paid for it. she attends enough to get a passing grade but obviously does not do spectacularly. Her parents remained uninformed of this and her uncle doesn't care enough to do anything about it. The only time she'll talk to anyone else is if there's some sort of group project to do to pass the course. Otherwise, she'll be the quiet girl who's either snoring through lessons or staring on the window while managing to absorb enough information to get above 50% on the tests.

In her spare time, she watches anime ocassionally but mostly wanders the town listening to jazz and/or rock. She despises metal and most pop songs. She doesn't mind classical. Her apartment contains all the necessities of life, and nothing much more. She has a bed, toiletries, and a laptop. Her kitchen in comparison to the rest of the house, is completely jam packed with utensils, food in the fridge, an extra fridge for more food, and a chef's hat. Surprisingly, she doesn't cook much despite the massive supply excess as she's a light eater.

Assets: A cell phone.

Neo, that's a poor excuse. Why does hunting qualify for Atalanta but not for Squanto? And a history of fighting still isn't crucial for a Servant to become a Servant, the class doesn't matter in that particular regard.

William Tell would easily qualify as an Archer, for example. He didn't participate in any battles(he did kill one person in one version of the myth, outside of a battle, but that's it). Yet his archery skills would definitely make him eligible for the class.

Tycho Brahe the astronomer was also skilled with a sword. Does that make him a Saber? No. Or imagine

Point is, your character is not KNOWN for skills involving war or fighting. He's known as a guide. I could take any native american pre-colonization and he'd have the same fighting skills as your character.

That character belongs to neither Anno or Tachi. Doesn't belong to me either, just in case you come to further assumptions.

Squanto isn't my character. If we're just going by skill, well, couldn't there have been other expert swordsmen? Other people skilled with lances? It's not just their skills that makes them qualify as a Servant, although that dictates their class.

Fighting skills don't make the Servant. Sure, they're there, but they don't make the Servant.

William Tell is one of the most famous Archers in myth, yes, he would be an Archer if summoned and he could definitely be a Servant. War and fighting has nothing to do with qualifying for a Servant.
