QUESTION MEME KINDA!!!

Except mostly I have a hankering to sort characters into Sabra teams/nations.

If you didn't play/stalk Sabra, there were 17 regular teams (plus one special enforcement team split three ways). Each team tended to have a general personality you can reads about here.

Those sixteen teams were also the basis of the sixteen nations of the world's history. (ICly it's the reverse of that: the old nations were the basis of the teams.) You can see info on the nations here. Basically every nation was it's own super special snowflake, from the Steampunk Atheist Bibliocracy, to ~Crystal Towers~ full of sketchy political intrigue, nomadic desert mages, crazy swamp jerks, THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS.

ANYWAY IF YOU COMMENT HERE I will sort your character(s) into teams and/or nations at your preference. (Normally a team and nation would have the same answer buuuuut)

Also I will then ask you a question I guess. I just want to do some Sabra sorting y'all.

RIN AND PANTSLESS!SABER AND SHORTKIDU :O

Rin on a team, depends on a timeframe specifically but I think she would have been Pyxis or Cygnus. She does have a lot of PUNCH INNA FACE!!! to her, but on the other hand she might be a little too . . . refined and competent for Pyxis. So she can go on Onee-Sama Team. Old Sabra prrrobably still Cygnus, yeah. I mean they were the sketchy nobility who built cities out of crystal that seems a pretty solid fit!!

Girlgamesh on a team I feel really would have had to be Lepus because that's the only team balls-out enough to deal with Emperor Nero. I mean yeah I guess she is red and punches people but no. She would have had fun on team of yandere psychos that would have supported her pantslessness as much as possible. Also: built-in minions. Yeah she's hella Lepus. Old Sabra wise, probably same deal, or maybe Lynx because they love conquering shit.

Tallkidu team-wise would have been one of those nice characters that could have fit well in probably like almost half the teams. Since he can be a good stabilizer, he could have gone to somewhere with other characters of similar personalities (probably Canis for nobility, or Pyxis for violence), but I could also see how he would have done well as a balance on a more volatile team. Some part of me really wants to say Orion? Obviously Lacerta would have cuddled him constantly too. Or Cetus probably could have used SOME voice of reason at some point. Why not this loli beastman?

Old Sabra it depends on how you were going to do the backstory. If he was still a clay doll the gods made he probably could have gone anywhere. There were beastmen made by Surgeon wandering around Orion, so he could have been one of them as well! Yeah in fact regardless of backstory I feel like Orions probably the right place. Lots of wilderness and fighting and a harsh environment, but also a lot of earnestness and loyalty.

So is playing pantless Saber everything you dreamed of and more?

PRET MUCH IT IS MAGICALMAGIC ALL THE TIME. The only thing that kind of sucks is the Servant mechanic but it isn't unique to her 8D; I PRETTY MUCH JUST ADORE PANTSLESS SABER SO . . . . *A* only magic.

SO WHO WOULD YOU APP FROM FATE/

IRIS IS MY FAVORITE THIS SURPRISES NO ONE but I worry that she's a little close to Aerta. Maybe if Aerta wigs out hard enough some day??? I also love Iskander super fucking hard, but I am pretty sure we are already getting an AMAZING ONE so.

I also spent the whole car ride from Seattle thinking "HOW CAN I APP JOAN OF ARC WITH SUPER POWERS" which I think would be kiiiiiind of like a Fate character. Yes I guess that is probably what I would want to do. Just like. Make a Fate semi-OC out of some historical figure what I love.

IS THERE A FATE CHARACTER I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT I SHOULD APP alternately what's up with Nero's servant mechanic?

JOAN OF ARC WAS A PLANNED CHARACTER FOR FATE/APOCRYPHA (which was then cancelled and replaced with an awful awful awful awful piece of shit which makes me very very very very angry). Her Class is 'Ruler' Class and she is SPECIAL in relation to the Grail!

YOU SHOULD GIVE ME YOUR PINGS :U because ~~there are 12~~ is always a fate character for people to app!

Nero's world is A LITTLE DIFFERENT from F/Z and F/SN because it is an entirely different universe as well. I HAVE A LOT OF SPOILERS SO YOU HAVE TO LET ME KNOW IF F/E SPOILERS ARE OK TOO :|aaa

DO YOU JUST PLAY MADOKA OC AND AERTA AM I FORGETTING ANYONE . . . Was your Madoka OC part of a team or a loner orrrr

MY PINGS ARE: crazy girls. I think a lot along the same line as your love of crazy girls. So duplicitous is good, violent is good, kind of genuinely tragic??? I like dead boyfriends and complicated family histories and revenge quests. Needs some vulnerability or I won't be interested but too vulnerable and I get squicked. In dudes I like FABULOUS MOTHERFUCKERS such as Iskander, Armstrong from FMA et cetera.

ALSO NO I DON'T MIND ABOUT F/E SPOILERS SINCE it's what a fighting game? I have a long backlog of those that I will never get through :|a

And yes just Aerta and the Meguka for now! She was a loner. She was also from LA where competition between Puella Magi can be pretty cutthroat, but she never got into any of the serious nastiness there, but knows about it. She would be super stoked to be on a team though, and might inform Mami that she is leader now, if they get a third one in.

FATE/EXTRA IS AN AU OF THE F/Z UNIVERSE where something something happened to the magic or something and now everything is kind of whacky.

The tournment for the Holy Grail takes place in a VR WORLD!!! If you die in VR you die in real life. And there is a 'weeding' process before you can get a Servant and join the war! The competition goes from 128 down to 2 people.

AS THE PROTAG you basically fail at the selection service and the lay there in agony dying and BEING LIKE NO I CAN'T DIE YET and then Saber is like :D :D :D HEYYY MASTERRRR. And contracts up. The Master and Servant grow through the tournament and Saber falls in love with her Master (I HAVE ONLY PLAY THE FEMPROTAG'S ROUTE??? But it is the same for the male protag too I think. I've heard Archer's romansu is gender dependent though)

There is definitely a love confession and they also have a FUCK THE SYSTEM WE LIKE EACH OTHER AS WE WANT!!! (Servants are supposed to be loyal to the System over their Mastersin F/E).

Uhhh so the Holy Grail is basically a giant computer that can SEE THE PAST AND FUTUREAND BLAH BLAH. The 'Moon Cell' and the Holy Grail War s run by SE.RA.PH.

SOOO THIS WAS A LOT OF NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION I GUESS. But it is basically the same system just with a few tweaks. Also I thinnnkkk you need a Command Seal to not die. Like if you use up all 3 command seals in F/E I think you die :|a

Does Aerta regret anything in her lifffee?

UHM UHM "regrets" is hard to say because part of the curse was . . . she didn't . . . have any concept of not wanting to be cursed. Like yup she was a tool and did unpleasant things but she was a tool for important necessary things so WHELP. And well she suspects she actually didn't really have as much self-determination leading up to the event as some might think. She kind of regrets that Sabra didn't roll over and die like it should have? Oh and she regrets believing Heron that she could live happily with him. That was a lie and he is a jerk.

Which Gilgamesh is dumbest from Enkidu's perception right now? Do you expect this to change?

. . . WELL. 'DUMBEST' GOES TO DUMBGIL because SERIOUSLY WHO KILLS ENKIDU?!?!?!?! He is still just like. /PSYDUCK. SERIOUSLY!?±?!?!?!?! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!?!?!???!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!

He is too busy throwing emotional bombs at smartgil to have. Are you dumb or not feelings I guess. Instead they just maul each others feelings.
