I summon Jeanne Alter to wreak death upon my enemies! Hush, Grand Order me. My general inclination is to go for Caster or Assassin. Caster because magic is awesome, and Assassin because then I can steal the Holy Grail and hide it or make a wish before anybody else can, and then nobody has to die! My villainy is unmatched in this world!

But, anyways. Assuming I'm fighting... I've got a few ideas. One that's been recommended to me due to probably having a similar wish would be Asriel, of Undertale. To be clear - not Flowey. Asriel. He'd be, in all likelihood, a Caster-class Servant, and assuming his Noble Phantasm didn't disqualify him, it would probably be to assume his God of Hyperdeath form. Not only is that going to be rather difficult to defeat, he'll get stronger each time he defeats someone. Considering how much a human soul does for a monster, you have to wonder what a Heroic Spirit's does. And then, at the end, everything gets fixed because bleep you war. ... This is assuming he could ever be persuaded to actually participate, which is unlikely and which I honestly wouldn't mind if the other Masters and Servants would leave me out of it.

But, let's see... beyond that... most classics are out. I don't know many, and I'm pretty sure a magic lance would reach out from my phone and stab me if I tried to say Dracula. But... hm. Trisanna Chandler, Caster-Class, from the Circle of Magic. Hope you enjoy getting lava in your face!

I suppose I could take the Mary-Anne route to justify summoning, say, Maka and Soul, Lancer-Class Servants, or Death the Kid with Liz and Patty, Archer-Class Servants. Or I could basically ask for my own death and summon the Berserker Asura. Which... I wouldn't do, because I don't particularly feel like passively being involved in the destruction of cities. Of them, I think I'd probably opt for Maka and Soul.

There's also Harry Dresden, Caster-Class Servant, but... let's just say a book I just read slightly sours me on that idea. But he might work.

As I've assembled far too many and need to go back through everything I've ever read or watched, I suppose I'll let it go for now. It feels like the perfect Servant is sitting just out of thought's reach, though.

Caster Angleton would be pretty safe, Beserker Angleton would ruin the place.

... you tell that last to Karna and his Noble Phantasm.

Skaffen-Amtiskaw, Special Circumstances drone, as an Assassin.

... or if this would somehow get through without a massive nerf (not sure how Fate works) Rider OU Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints (because I'm pretty sure Culture Minds in a starship are Riders, and they were involved in a rather nice fight scene).

Thoth suggested Caster Angleton (from the Lanudryverse), but I like the planet mostly intact.

- Tomash

Sure, she doesn't ride anything, but she is the mother of Pegasus, which I'd wager is probably a more intense connection than Ahab has with a harpoon?

Medusa doesn't actually ride anything in her legend so I'd say it's still a possibility.

I would be trying for Artoria - Saber or Mordred - Saber, though Gilgamesh - Archer.

Though now that I'm thinking about it I might go with Ryougi Shiki Saber or Assassin (unless that's cheating since she was featured in FGO)

Several more if I'm allowed to summon my own characters, but that seems a little bit... weighted, somehow.

The first idea is Izaya Orihara from Durarara!!, as an Assassin. It's only fitting for an information broker and known-manipulator-of-an-entire-district-of-Tokyo, after all.

The second idea is something some people will probably consider cheating: Briar Moss (AKA Roach) from Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series, dual-classed as Caster/Assassin with emphasis on his Caster side. After all, just because he's a reformed thief doesn't mean he ever lost his edge, as he loves to remind people.

Even though, as memory serves, he lives... in Sherlock's wall, actually, he's so linked with Sherlock that you could basically say he is Sherlock as a mouse. Then again, you could go ahead and summon Sherlock as a mouse, given that i think that even as a Servant, he'd get squished.

He's, at the most, the guy with the lance. Harpooner sits next to him, hits the whale, gets in close, and he tries finishing it off.

Can't recall if he ever throws a harpoon. Hm. He might, at the end of the book.


Queequeg or such might fit that more, being that he's one of the harpooners.

I summon Basil of Baker Street!

... of these characters don't exist, but that they're so similar as to be discounted if we're supposed to be using characters of our own thoughts, rather than just borrowing ones from Fate. After all, the Bathories and Carmilla are all very much related, and all acknowledge this. Repeatedly. Usually by trying to stab each other.

...Rose after absorbing the Time Vortex at the end of the first season. "I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself."

What about Gods? After all, in Fate, Divine Spirits are a thing. However, if a spirit is Divine, then it's generally too powerful to be made a Servant. E.G., you won't get Zeus showing up, and Artemis only sneaks her way in because she basically makes herself into Orion, stats-wise. On the other hand, there are a few entities - for example, Stheno and Euryale - who are divine, but are also so weak that being made into Servants is a distinct upgrade for them. Thus, what is to be done with gods?

I'd argue that the higher-tiers are out. You're not getting around this one by summoning, say, Hades from Disney or Percy Jackson and then just releasing the Underworld on your opponents, and for that matter, those who are able to go up against gods, at least lesser ones, might be out too. For example, the Dresden Files' Queens Titania and Mab, as of Changes which is where I'm at, are probably out.

On the other hand, if you've got a really, really weak god - for example, isn't there a god in Discworld who is left near-powerless due to having only one person who truly believes in him? - you might get away with sliding them into one of the classes, but it might be best if you didn't, as they're probably going to be pretty weak.

That Bathory and Charmilla are also summonable, despite one being the inspiration for the other. Also, multiple versions of Arturia have been summoned in the same class, so I'd say it would be totally possible to summon different versions of the same character.

If I were to restrict myself to Fate, I'd summon Karna, a Lancer Class servant.

Outside of Fate, though, I could have some real fun. Hiccup Haddock, Rider Class Servant from HTTYD. Riding Toothless the Night Fury as his Noble Phantasm, most servants will only get to hear the telltale shriek before they get blasted.

Given that harpoons are typically thrown Archer is also possible.

But what form would they take? Would they be Rose during her time with 9, Rose in the anniversary special, or would it manifest as the words 'Badwolf' randomly popping up everywhere?

He could be a Lance-class Servant if you count a harpoon as a lance.

We are currently arguing over a number of things - for one, certain characters, like Sherlock Holmes, James Moriarty, and Edward Dantes are off-limits due to having already appeared in certain properties - Grand Order comes to mind. Therefore, is it possible to summon alternate versions of them? And is it possible to summon other characters from the same story?

For the first, I'd argue not. A character who is essentially Sherlock Holmes is, well, Sherlock Holmes at core, regardless of what's being used as a variation. They are absolutely linked to the character of Sherlock Holmes, and thus cannot be summoned - regardless of any Class issues that may emerge.

for the second... I'd be generally against it, given that both Moriarty and Holmes can be summoned, but I would personally be more flexible on individual cases.

There are canonical servants from works already (Holmes, Moriarty, Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein) but you could just summon a different version of them.

For example, I could summon the Holmes from Sherlock, or the one from Elementary. Or I could summon Sherlock Gnomes.

One of the Manga (I think it was Prototype) he was an Avenger Servant.

I summon the Champion of Slaanesh and Lord Commander of the Emperor's Children, Lucius the Eternal! His disgusting personality will ensure that anyone who kills him will take some pride in it, meaning he will possess them and become my servant. All he has to do is lose all the time and I'll win.

He would likely be a Saber given his status as master swordsman, tho Assassin is also a possibility given how he can potentially 'kill' anyone that kills him.

We talked about it for a while, and multiple people pinged him pretty quickly as an Avenger.

That characters existing in the Fate Universe as servants are probably off the table. Otherwise I would go Arthur/Artoria as Saber or Gilgamesh Archer.

While I want to say Dumbledore or Gandalf as a Caster, I feel like it would be against my actual fighting style. So I think I'm going to go with Yoda as Saber (though he could be summoned as a Caster as well)
