TYPE-Moon/Nasuverse Feats/General Thread

Spoiler: Volume 7 passage... probably, definitely Strange Fake related

A lodge in the American mountains.

A luxury lodge deep into the natural boundaries of a mountain.

At its center, there was a conference room where a group of people distinctively not in tune with the vast greens outside gathered.

Men and women in high-brand suits or military uniforms decorated with medals one wouldn't find in normal society. Silhouettes together in a poorly lit room.

One man's presence and treatment clearly informed he was the highest-ranking general. He was indeed a man who didn't show his face in normal ceremonies and announcements.

Even so, people understood who he was at first glance.

Half of the people there, be it the ones wearing modern suits or the ones wearing military uniforms, had a mage's mindset.

Considering this place wasn't the Clock Tower, logically some members there weren't mages or spellcasters. Some didn't even have Magic Circuits in the first place.

Everyone in the meeting had a tense expression until a report finally put the color of relief in the participants' eyes.

"I see. The Clock Tower really has gone soft."

"Yes. Lord Trambelio's spokesman said he will handle the current incident as a formal negotiation, in a way no one owes anyone, be it materially or as a debt of honor."

"Oh, that's great to hear. Our greatest advantage is being a country with minimal mage interference, but on the flip side, that also means no Lord will trust us. Naturally, we wouldn't trust any of them either."

Numerous others voiced their agreement.

"Not that there is any form of true trust among mages."

"Even more so when they disregard us as mere spellcasters."

After that quite self-derisive comment, the main general raised a comment.

"But the Clock Tower signaled they'll turn a blind eye to this incident. All Clock Tower men already in the city agreed it's a fair compromise."

"Are you sure it's a good idea? The mysterious disease Faldeus report about is clearly some kind of malediction, but under the current circumstances, no curse can leave the city, right?"

"Anyone who can't escape the curses is considered unnecessary to the world of magecraft, I assume. Or perhaps the Clock Tower wants the mages in the city to be erased."

"A conflict between factions, you say? So the stalemate between the Clock Tower's three factions continues, huh..."

"And I hope it stays that way. Large-scale strife there would be a great opportunity for us to make a move, but the continued stalemate is still a better alternative to anything that unified the Clock Tower's policies."

His choice of words showed how wary and afraid they were of the Clock Tower. They needed to lurk and wait for their moment to strike.

"What did you tell the President?", the tall woman commanding the business suit half of the participants asked the military man.

"I reported nothing. I intend to relay everything ex post facto."

The business suit woman snorted at the general's response.

"Are you insane? What explanation will you give him?"

"Just tell the president that we had with emergency switches in case the ritual's magical energy goes out of control... We'll need a different cover story for the media and the other nations, but for the time being, everyone is believing the articles about the shockwaves of two clashing asteroids."

The military man glanced at his subordinate.

The subordinate nodded and put numerous TV programs on the conference room monitor. The news coverage in the most high-rating channels in multiple countries.

"One country is airing cartoons!"

"That's Japan."

"Well, it figures, considering how minimal the direct damage was there."

"The damage on our side wasn't just Washington. Russia was also hit, so any misunderstanding could lead to nuclear warfare."

With a nervous grin, the suited woman looked at the monitors again.

The vast majority of the TV shows displayed the same marks of destruction. The screen subtitles showed the words "meteorite" or "missile attack" in multiple languages.

"What a pity...", the military dispassionately commented, looking at the images occupying half of the TV shows. A gigantic hole in the Arctic sea caps. "If only this power was something within our control, rather than arcane power manipulated by an individual's will..."

"Don't be stupid. The moment you think of weaponizing the arcana, you'll get the Clock Tower and the Atlas Institute knocking at our door and then it's over. Regretfully, we're still babies when it comes to magecraft, remember? Although this could change if we incorporate ancient ones like Tine Chelc's tribe into our ranks."

After rebuking the military man, the suited woman continued her semi-monologue.

"This is precisely why we had to go along with Francesca's plan... To choose the route of degrading magic into magecraft. We failed this time, but from the start, we've been making plans on the scale of centuries rather than years."

The people around her started sighing.

"So the 1st American Holy Grail War ends in a no contest."

"Remember how Fuyuki had 4 no contests?"

"Maybe 5. Our investigation is still struggling to determine the outcome of the 5th one."

"Yes, we can't make any careless moves now that the Eulyphis are always there."

The leader of the military men raised his hand to contain the stir in the audience, then proceeded to his speech.

"We'll cleanse the city, but before that, we'll have Francesca carry the core system of the Greater Grail away to use as the cornerstone of the next edition. Most Heroic Spirits should soon vanish once we cut off the energy resources."

After this response, the military man checked his wristwatch and proclaimed something to all in the conference room:

"From this moment onward, Code 983, 'Aurora Fall', is in effect."



The suited woman closed her eyes in response. After opening them again, she glared at everyone present while she spoke.

"In 48 hours, Snowfield will be 'cleansed'... I won't say this is for the country's sake. Much less that it's for justice. It's a sacrifice necessary for humanity's long-term benefits. You have no reason to feel any guilt."

And so, it was decided that two days after the meeting, Snowfield City was going to disappear from the face of Earth.

Along with its 800 thousand citizens.



Why did the masterminds of the Holy Grail War make this decision?

That was due to the events of the previous day.

The death of a young mage named Flat Escardos, and the consequential birth of a new lifeform.

Spoiler: Bridge chapter: Messara Escardos

Long ago, there was one mage.

Although he was below the level of the magicians, he was still a powerful and ancient mage obsessed with bizarre ideas.

The mage's name was Messara Escardos.

The mage built his small yet deep workshop in a place currently called Monaco. In his conversation with his magician friend and other big-name mages, a thought crossed his mind.

It all started in a conversation with an acquaintance.

There he heard his allegory about countless possibilities. Worlds that could have been, lined up in parallel with our world.

It was an idea most would dismiss as simple chatter, or perhaps a fable or a joke...

But the mage Messara found hope in his words.

His thesis as a mage had been unclear until that moment, and there he felt assured that his brain was simply waiting for that moment to start gushing out ideas.

Concealing one's research is a natural thought in mage society, but Messara was so flushed with excitement that he start telling other mages about his dreams and proposing everyone should do the same thing he was doing.

The majority laughed at the stupidity of what they considered to be an impossible dream.

Some also mentioned that what he wanted could be achieved by simply modifying someone's body, without the need to wait for such a long time.

Considering Messara's level of proficiency, that would indeed be a viable shortcut.

But Messara believed that his creation actualizing itself through a process of evolution was the entire point of the project.

Two people listened to his thoughts in earnest, even if they didn't endorse them.

One of them was the man who inspired Messara's plan: the magician who would later gain multiple epithets such as Mystical Marshall, Kaleidoscope, or Old Man of the Jewels.

The other mage was a capricious dollmaker of peculiar descent, who would later gain multiple epithets such as Magical Castle, or Dark Lord of Finance.

The two men had different positions in life, which lead to different experiences, but both experiences led them to realize that, although the chances were low, Messara's ambitions were possible.

Though they didn't endorse it, perhaps because they knew perfectly well what the consequences would be.



But that was enough to Messara.

He had people in his circle who would debate his theories in earnest.

That alone told him that staking his life was worth it. With a smile on his face, Messara dedicated his remaining years to his plan.

No, his own life wasn't the only chip he wagered.

He instrumentalized the blood of his descendants for the next centuries, potentially millenia.



Most mages hearing this would answer "It's simply what every mage family does."

Many families of ancient mages offer their blood for their ancestor's thesis.

But Messara's actions didn't follow that common sense.

When the ancient mage established the Escardos family, he set up one gimmick to further his research.

The longer his lineage continued, the more they would lose information on the family's purpose.

Messara couldn't trust the descendants he didn't know.

He could predict that when the goal was close to completion, someone would try to achieve its conclusion in their own generation instead of waiting for its maturation.

(I can't let this happen.)

Messara rejected his descendant's passion before it came to be.

(My creation will naturally complete itself one random day. It must. There's no point in letting out in an imperfect state. If my theories are correct, my creation will spawn naturally and take away everything the Escardos clan ever had.)

That's what it meant to instrumentalize his descendants' blood.

By the time that happens, his mage descendants will all be assuming that the Escardos were a family with no thesis, only a lot of history. Therefore, they would either find some new thesis that exploited their unique Magic Crest or would simply be trying to gain money and status in the world of magecraft.

Messara Escardos feared that his glory-hounding descendants could add their modifications to their Magic Circuit's evolution system or the Magic Crest in an attempt to "become" his creation.

To him, that would have been even worse than having the mages who laughed him off come to steal the fruits of his research once they accepted that it was possible. Not that he was expecting any kind of results in the first 1000 years.



The Escardos family gradually forgot its purpose, as Messara wanted, and remained always part of the world of magecraft as an entity that did nothing.

With no faith in his distant future descendants, he set up a mad mechanism in his own child and Magic Crest.

The result: In what is almost a miracle, Messara Escardos completed his tightrope walk after 1800 years had passed.



While Messara was still alive, he couldn't know if the day would come or not.

At that time, he dedicated a soliloquy, not to the bloodline he was sacrificing, but to the one child in the distant future who would see it completed in their generation.

"Oh, oh, my distant child. Man or woman of blood whose name I don't know, if you're born before the end of Human Order, I won my gamble. You have my gratitude and my apologies. You'll be considered a prodigy in your distant future of minimal arcanity. Some may shun you for that. Such is the nature I'm granting to your body. Your life won't be an easy one. And to top it off, the moment you inherit your Magic Crest... you'll be erased. Not die, be erased. Just disappear, not reaching anywhere nor being engraved into the world. But in exchange, our planet will see the birth of a new prime species. Goodbye, descendant I'll never meet. I'm sorry, and thank you."

Where no one could hear him, Messara thanked and apologized out loud to someone who hadn't been born.

One could say this was where he was at his least mage-like.



"You're a necessary sacrifice."



And after a long time, a baby was born.

The generation he was talking about.

Flat Escardos, the boy meant to be sacrificed to the Escardos family's ambitions.



Messara Escardos ultimately won his bet.

But he failed to predict many factors.

The first is that the boy's parents feared him so much that they plotted to dump their Magic Crest somewhere from where it could never be retrieved.

Flat's parents went to an underground casino famous among the mages of their region and lost everything they had on purpose, leading them to need to mortgage their Magic Crest as compensation for their gambling debt.

Messara would have appreciated the amazing irony, as the casino was run by one of his old friends, the one known as the Dark Lord of Finance.

But this miscalculation was trivial. In fact, Flat, with the help of his friends, took the Fem's Casa challenge and got his Crest back.



The other two are factors that Messara never even came close to considering.

One of them is that Flat Escardos's talents were even more freakish than Messara had considered.

And the other is that the boy met someone who changed his life.

An ordinary mage borrowing the title of a Clock Tower's Lord.


X X

Present day, Clock Tower

"The Lord of Norwich is currently not accepting visitors. Please leave."

"Oh shucks."

Hearing the words of someone in a Department of Policies uniform, a boy dejectedly went away.

He was the private pupil of the dollmaker Rohngall and visited the Norwich building to relay an important message to El-Melloi II.

However, Policies members blocked the building's entrance.

He could see a group of protesters, presumably El-Melloi II's current students, in a heated argument against a plump young man commanding a guard of homunculi.

Seeing how all of them flocked at him instead of at the woman in kimono on the other side, he could assume that the boy was more open to conversation than her.

Rohngall's young private pupil observed the students, impressed at how much they cared about their teacher.

Most Clock Tower lecturers, especially Lords, were treated with more fear than respect.

He doubted that even the notoriously friendly Lord of Creation would have students this passionate about her.

But that made perfect sense in the boy's mind.

Although many people from other faculties came for Norwich's lectures after El-Melloi II became its Lord, very few students were enrolled in the Department of Modern Magecraft beforehand.

And yet, El-Melloi II's Norwich was now seen as a major force capable of upending the Clock Tower's power balance.

The Department of Modern Magecraft is obviously not as powerful as any of the infamous Three Noble Families of the Mages Association, but the El-Melloi Classroom is said to have the weight to tip the scales on the delicate balance between the Neutral, Aristocratic, and Democratic factions.

The boy remembered the conversation he had with his mentor a few days prior.

ー"Werner Ceasarmund, the heir to Butterfly Magecraft. Roland Berzinsky. Org Rum. The sisters Radia Pentel and Nazica Pentel. Fezgram von Senbern. What do these names have in common?"

He answered "They are mages who rose to Pride and Brand status in the past few years", only to be met with a shocking response from his mentor.

ー"They're all El-Melloi Classroom students."

Back then he already reacted with shocked silence, but after seeing Lord El-Melloi II in person, he was even more surprised at how he didn't give off the impression of someone that amazing.

He looked nothing like a lecturer capable of producing multiple mages who would leave their mark on the Clock Tower's history, but the boy managed to convince himself that this was an act of camouflage to lower others' guards.

"What an incredible class. Maybe I should ask Mr. Rohngall to let me attend a lecture one day..."

He looked into Lord El-Melloi II later and found out he left numerous achievements.

The list of students he produced alone was already enough of a medal. It countained the names of several mages the young boy took as inspiration.

Svin Glascheit, the talented Beast Mage who reached the rank Pride still during his school years.

Yvette L. Lehrman, the mad genius who polished gemstones into high-end Mystic Eyes closely comparable to natural ones.

Caules Forvedge, the distinguished Electricity Mage who handled lightning as if it were part of himself.

Mary Lil Fargo, the shooting star of the Department of Astromancy, who made a name for herself by producing a whole new theory for her family in a single generation.

Sajou Ayaka, who didn't stay enrolled in the Classroom for too long, but nonetheless made notorious use of her mixed talents in the Department of Botany.

"And then there's... No, I wouldn't want these two as role models..."

He recalled a pair of female mages more infamous than famous. The boy was once a victim of one of the disasters caused by this duo, so he chose to forget the two ladies nicknamed Kischur's Nightmares.



And then, the boy remembered one last name.

Flat Escardos, the oldest student in the current El-Melloi Classroom. The one currently participating in the Holy Grail War in the United States. A previous topic of discussion.

He once asked his mentor Rohngall about this genius known as The Unwanted Blessing.

After a moment of sullen silence, Rohngall confirmed that no one was around and started speaking.

ー"Keep your distance from it if you can help it. One time, it requested me to build a doll in its image. I ultimately refused, but I had my interest in The Unwanted Blessing's Magic Circuits. Looking into them, I noticed something... Lord El-Melloi must have also noticed, and so must have the genius dollmaker that once called it interesting... The child itself was already something akin to a doll created to be something's receptacle. I'm morbidly curious to know what the Escardos ancestors intended to insert in it."

A Pseudo-Servant of a Divine Spirit in a human vessel… or so it seems. Her creation process is full of mysteries. To be honest, she's full of minor glitches.
The name on her Saint Graph’s profile displays what’s believed to be the name of the human mage serving as the host but for some reason the data is conceptually corrupted in a way no one can read the name.
For that reason, the Chaldea staff, Master included, decided to call her “Mr. Ganesha” since that’s what she was calling herself.
It’s actually not confirmed that the Divine Spirit inside her really is the Indian god Ganesha.

In rare occasions, people with implied connections to her randomly say her name, but they can only do so unconsciously, and the others never process her name as a word.
Due to the Extra Class she’s manifested in, it’s easy to deduce which superior AI is somehow involved in her creation… but the truth is still hidden in the darkness, or perhaps in the Inner Moon of another world.

• Ganesha, the Indian god she claims to be inside her, is said to be the son of Shiva and Parvati.
  To be more exact, Parvati created him from the filth on her body.
  Parvati made him to stand guard and not let anyone pass while she was bathing. And that’s when Shiva came in.
  Since Ganesha didn’t know Shiva was Parvati’s husband, he stopped him. And since Shiva didn’t know about Ganesha either, he feel into rage for being treated like that and ripped Ganesha’s head off.
  Parvati lamented her son’s death and Shiva promised he would bring their son back to life, but he couldn’t find the head.
  For that reason, Shiva revived him with the head of the first elephant he found… And that’s the most well-known reason for the elephant head.

Ganesha is the god of fortune and prosperity, the god of learning (it’s said that the Mahabharata was made by him writing down the story the Rishi Vyasa was verbally narrating), and the god of obstacles later turned the ** god who removes obstacles**.

A Skill representing his broken right tusk, the defining trait of the elephant-headed god.
The story of how his tusk was broken because he noticed that Parashurama’s axe was a present from his father Shiva and made point to take the hit instead of dodging is a famous one.
There are multiple other versions, including one where his tusk was always broken and another one where he threw it at the moon.

Ganesha’s other name. It means “the best”.
This is also the name of Demons whose property is becoming an obstacle.
This connected to the idea that success will come to you with you overcome this obstacle, resulting on the belief that he is the god who removes obstacles.

Unusable outside of special circumstances.
Ganesha means master of retainers and Vighneshvara is Ganesha’s other name meaning god of obstacles.
By taking his property as the Remover of Obstacles to the purest level, she can manifest an absolutely inviolable force field.
If used offensively, its absolute might can shove away any obstacle standing before her.
And of course, defensively, she can use it as a perfect shield to block any attack (obstacle) from others.

Idea A: She thinks she got lost from the team on the capes of Cornwall, but she actually rayshifted to a past before the Queen’s Era.
She gets involved in the past events of Tonelico the Savior and is put to a long sleep so she can meet Fujimaru again.
During this whole period, she is protected by Faerie Knight Galahad (Habetrot).

The chief of the Fang Clan.
(* The Fang Clan is the faerie tribe most fit for combat, and the only ones with the power to repel the Moss colonies. For that reason, they are the cornerstone of the national defense.)
An almost 3 meters tall wolfman. Male.
Wears a high-brand suit. Make it fancy since he is a clan chief (the fae equivalent to a baron). A woodwose is an England faerie described as a huge man covered in hair who would drown and devour women.
Woodwose is as strong as a Faerie Knight, if not stronger.
More fae than any other fae, considered an atavistic A-rei.
Morgan’s strongest hand-to-hand warrior. The one who slayed the Moss King.
The feudal lord of Oxford, the city of restaurants.
He’s a glutton and loves human cuisine, but considers humans disposable tools. He’ll drop multiple hints to the idea that he’s always hungry.
He publicly claims to be Morgan’s loyal retainer, but at this point, he’s already fed up with her (think of the irritation a son feels at an overly strict mother. Less “affection flipped into hatred” and more “backlash out of worry that she hates him”).
As the chief of the Fang Clan, he hates to see how Barghest gets more attention than him.
He’s a kind and tolerant pupper in his interactions with other fae.
All his actions are dictated by a desire to be loved. After deluding himself into thinking Morgan wouldn’t love him anymore, he was tricked by Aurora’s sham love.
(What made it feel like he lost Morgan’s love was her lack of praise. He got a lot of praise during the period of constant war including the Moss campaigns and the caterpillar slaying, but there was no war in the past 100 years, meaning he got nothing. The Faerie Knights hogged all the spotlights.)

He knows very well how much Morgan hates typical fae behavior, and for that reason, he defies his own nature and skillfully performs typical human behavior. That’s why he’s so annoying over proper manners.
The fae’s main criticism of him is that the Faerie Knights are stronger and that he became all bark and no bite, but Morgan and Oberon know that Woodwose is actually the strongest individual in Britain.
(In-story, Oberon will say “Woodwose is past his retirement age. Beating that rusty old fart in a fight will be piece of cake.” but that’s an attempt to lower Chaldea’s guard. Oberon can’t let Chaldea get too strong, so he thought this would be a great opportunity to lower their numbers a little. Though Woodwose was ultimately even more insanely powerful than Oberon expected.)

Falling for Aurora’s honey trap, he ultimately kills Morgan with his own hands.
After doing the deed, he realizes how deeply he loved and admired her, so he dies acknowledging his mistake.

Click to expand...

Chief of the Earth Clan.
Head honcho of the Knocker Company, which handles all the fashion and architecture in Lostbelt Britain.
The feudal lord of Norwich, an advanced port town that uses fae labor.
Norwich prides itself in its equality between humans and fae, and might even seem utopic at first glance, but we learn that behind the scenes, the weaker fae and humans are consumed and discarded much like how it happens in modern cities.
Appearance-wise, he’s a man with the airs of a gentleman. He claims to have lost his ability to grow giant. Rumors say he’s a low-grade faerie who tricked and killed the real Spriggan to steal his land. That faerie’s name is Capless.
…but that’s what he wants them to think. He’s actually human. He’s pretending to be a faerie (he hires fae to preserve his appearance and lifespan).
He was a hanshi samurai sent to England as an exchange student at the end of the Edo Period. In England, he was spirited away and wandered into the Fairyland.
His support for Morgan is strong but not absolute.
He grew Norwich into Britain’s largest city so it can still survive even if her Camelot is in ruins (in fact, the fall of Camelot wouldn't even hurt him in any way, he would just gloat about how busy he was about to get).
He’s as much of a bystander observing the pieces moving in the board of clan conspiracy as Oberon, but since he prioritized his own profits from beginning to end, he lost sight of the bigger picture.
After Britain’s collapse, he is out of means to handle the Beastly Calamity’s invasion. In the end, he gathers all the treasure of Norwich in his finance office and locks himself with it, then dies when the castle collapses.
The way he spends his last moments trying to protect his gold and treasure is exactly like the spriggans in Pan-Human folklore.

Mirror Clan. The prophet. A sympathizer to both fae and humans. Everyone’s favorite.
People think she chose to remain silent, but in reality, she was already killed by one of Aurora’s stratagems before the start of the story, as Aurora was jealous of her popularity.

Click to expand...

The survivor of the Wing Clan. The last of her kind.
Kazuradrop’s faerie version… but I think you can just put Kazuradrop’s First Ascension sprite without any alterations. Think of it as a sneak peek.
(Muryans are ant fae from Cornwall traditions. The folklore says that their main characteristic is that they start human-sized but get smaller every time use their transformation ability until they’re stuck in ant size.)
Always devising and popularizing new ways to use humans for entertainment.
First impressions make her look like a cruel and ruthless hedonist, but once you get to know her, you see that she’s a bookworm who takes her job very seriously.
Despite her evil, she has no tolerance for laziness and apathy (not in the sense that she acts hatefully toward lazy and apathetic people, but in the sense that she makes them improve their ways).
She secretly wants revenge because the Fang Clan ate the Wing Clan to extinction.
She gets a flashback to when a human hid her during the Fang Clan’s genocide of her people. Because of that, Muryan has her own form of love for humanity. An evil and twisted form.
Her clan is just waiting for extinction since she has no fellowmen left.
She takes Koyanskaya as a house guest and they start concocting evil plans together.
After manipulating Chaldea into wiping out the Fang Clan, she learns the truth about the British Genesis and what the curses actually are, causing her to be killed by the British Isles’ spokesman. The public never finds out about her death.
→ Her losing her Purpose and killing herself here is another good option.

A honey chocolate faerie.
King Clan. Queen. Physically identical to Medb (Knocknarea is the name of Medb’s grave).
I’m pretty sure her battle sprites will be Medb Second Ascension, so how about we differentiate them by having a new jacket over Medb’s Second Ascension outfit?
Maybe change the color of her dress (on the battle sprite as well)? Is that a thing we can do?
She has higher hero levels than Medb. That’s because Knocknarea is not in a relationship with anyone and doesn’t have the spare time to afford living for love like Medb did.
"It’s obvious I want to fall in love with someone! I love the idea of love! But that can wait until I defeat Morgan and make Britain mine. It’s important to keep your priorities straight, don't you think?"
She and Arthuria Caster grow to become rivals who can openly point out each other’s faults.
She loves living in luxury. She desires anything of value.
She’s an enemy of Morgan.

She hates humans because her predecessor was betrayed by humans (or at least she poses like that. Her predecessor was taken down because she loved humans. Having inherited her soul, Knocknarea also loves humans at her core. Love flipped into hatred.)
The King Clan is a special clan that puts the fae who lost their home and purpose under its control. A second home for refugees, if you will. She can share her power with other fae, but the power she grants doesn’t return to her. Like a faerie version of The Happy Prince.
She’s a tyrannical queen, but she follows a creed that her subjects must be granted the bare minimum of joy. That’s Knocknarea’s Purpose. She has a great ambition to defeat Britain’s newly-arrived ruler Morgan and take back the kingdom.
In the end, she learns the name of her Pan-Human History counterpart and dies laughing about it.

The face of the Wind Clan.
A faerie so charitable and beautiful that the fae say “our true queen is Aurora, not Morgan or Knocknarea”.
The faerie stereotype taken to its extreme.
Physically 20-24 years old.
Long wavy blond hair, prim features, and an untarnished white one-piece dress.
She ideally would want to look 16, but for some reason, she aged all the way to adulthood.
(Fae normally don’t age or grow)
Aurora avoids mirrors because she doesn’t want to see her adult form.
And her mental state gets pretty ugly every time she looks at Melusine, who takes the appearance of Aurora’s ideal faerie… her own previous self.

Pure darkness on the inside. Disturbs the board out of pure vanity to be more popular than anyone else. The embodiment of apolitical narcissism. P Prefers multiple momentary loves over one true love.
Something to the effect of

“I’m ready to run away with you anytime.”
“No, I couldn’t stand to have you as the only one pampering me!”

She spreads the calamities under the excuse that neither Morgan nor Knocknarea have the resolve to carry the lives of all fae on their shoulders. After killing both of them, the responsibility falls to Aurora, but Aurora refuses all this boring work, completely negating all of Morgan’s and Knocknarea’s efforts thus far.

The Alterego who came under the Alien God’s orders to investigate and destroy Britain. But he’s completely unmotivated. He sucks at the investigative legwork. Since the protagonist conveniently has the same goal of exploring the Lostbelt, he lets them do the job for him.
He follows Arthuria Caster on her journey and makes the Holy Sword at the end of it.

"You thought I’d be running wild here? Guess again! Morgan won’t listen to me and Baobhan Sith is useless! I got no freedom at all!"

A man who lives for his love for Mash. Although his love is quite eccentric.

Alternatively Count Peperon. The rising star of the design industry.
A mysterious individual who stands at the top of the rankings in Norwich, the city of fashion and architecture. I have no idea who he could possibly be. He meets his fate saving the protagonist from Beryl’s trap.

Click to expand...

Joins forces with Muryan in Gloucester.
Her goal was to obtain Melusine’s fur but Melusine is too perfect to lose hair (no piece can be removed from the whole).
Watching the end of Britain and the fae’s final moments (humans dying everywhere because they’re trying to help the fae while the world is crumbling) was a somewhat sentimental experience for her.
The next chapter will conclude her story!

Click to expand...

A nobody faerie girl from the Wind Clan (the fairy type of faerie).
In the British Lostbelt, the fae eventually turn to Moss and disappear if they’re unpopular, purposeless, or nameless.
This faerie lived a modest, ordinary, and sinless life, but due to her lack of a name, she lost the place she called home and drifted to Cornwall, the forest at the furthest ends of Britain.
The faerie looks after the protagonist in the earlier stages of the story when they’re stranded in Cornwall.
During this period of time, she receives Arthuria’s name, as Arthuria wants to run away from the heavy duty imposed on her.
* (The exact timing will be marked by her nameplate changing from “Nameless faerie” to “Faerie”, but no one will make any explicit mention of Arthuria giving her name to her)
The first act will end with the fae turning feral upon discovering the protagonist’s party contains humans. She helps the protagonist and Arthuria out of the forest, but upon reaching her limit, she turns to Moss, attacks the party, and is defeated. She was a faerie girl who loved flowers.
Draw her unhappy-looking, admirable, a kind of plain.
She wasn’t given any name at the time of her birth, but her true name is Hope.
A faerie of salvation born before Arthuria Caster.
She was meant to be the last autopurification system created by the fae rather than by Britain, but the role was too heavy for her to handle.
The last hope in the collapsing Britain.
The first act will make her look like a minor tutorial partner who dies early, but she’ll be an ultimately super important character. About as important as the boy under the bridge in Olympus.

They know how Melusine obtained her current appearance.
In the end, they enter the room when Melusine is killing Aurora and violently reprimand her, calling her a fake faerie with no consideration for others.

Homeless wandering merchants. Bandits but not really.
They all have generic goblin designs, but only one of them is a kingdom faerie. The other two are Pan-Human History fae who wandered into the wrong world. Even fae can be changelings.

A Pan-Human faerie. Wag’s older brother.
Ever since he came to the Fairyland, he’s been through some harsh days because he has no friends and is persecuted for being an outsider, but he chooses to survive a life of crime if that’s what it takes to protect his brother.

Click to expand...

Rob’s younger brother. A pure and cheerful imp. Both in Pan-Human History and the Fairyland, he was always called an incapable baby and never loved by anyone.
He’s always smiling. He can smile his way through any kind of bullying so as to not worry his brother, the only person who will take his side.
His life in the Fairyland has been nothing but suffering but he never complains.
He is like that out of concern for his brother but in his last moments, he drops the lies and voices the true feelings in his heart.

Click to expand...

An aloof and attractive goblin. He hides his eyes. A Fairyland imp.
He realizes how valuable and dangerous Mash is before Rob and Wag do, but pretends he saw nothing.
He knows he’s an outlaw and takes pride in this lifestyle. For that reason, he can’t forgive himself for opening up to a sales product and makes the choice to return to the petty bandit life alone.

Fang Clan. The feudal lord of Sheffield.
A powerful faerie, so much so that he was a Fang Clan chief candidate competing against Woodwose.
A lion-themed faerie. He considers humans inferior but doesn’t mistreat them.
Arrogant and unreasonable personality. Not the most broadminded man. Unshakably meritocratic.
He has unusual origins, being a Fang Clan faerie born in Norwich, the city governed by the Earth Clan.
He frequently mentions he disliked the noisy Earth Clan blacksmiths and the salty sea breeze but this is the only way Boggart can cope with being driven away from his hometown.
He shows intent to revolt against Queen Morgan and is planning to recapture Norwich.

An Earth Clan blacksmith.
Ector is the name of King Arthur’s childhood foster father in Pan-Human History.
His hair is one of those big fuzzy balls. His bangs are long enough to cover his eyes but always leave one of the eyes visible in the illustration. Make his beard just as long and fuzzy. Please.
By the way, I’ll also need a bloodied version of his sprite, and a short-haired version with both eyes visible for when he was a Black Knight (when he saved Britain long ago in a team with Morgan, Habetrot, and Grimm).

Mike. He’s from the Earth Clan but his beard and mustache are short. He looks like a human in his mid-twenties.
He was originally a negative and abject nerd, but meeting da Vinci got him strangely pumped and full of energy every day. He wears an apron since he’s a shopkeeper.
Additionally, he figured out that da Vinci’s lifespan is almost over, and that’s another reason why he didn’t want her to overwork herself.

He appears both in part 1 and part 2 but his main role is in the collapse arc.
Before the coronation, when they start talking about how da Vinci is going to leave the next day, he’s there behind the counter going

“Don’t take Davinci away from me.”
“Without Davinci, I’ll go back to being plain old me.”

while he neurotically sharpened his knife.

Later, he gets a scene after the start of the world collapse, when Salisbury has gone postal from internal strife.
When da Vinci returns to the burning Salisbury bar to pick up something she forgot, Mike approaches her from behind with his kitchen knife.
Mike’s self-centered faerie instincts get him saying “You should stay here. Yeah. You’ll get to live a little longer than you would if you go outside”, but he ultimately chooses to let da Vinci go.

Oh, but Davinci won’t be Davinci if she’s not free. Her strive to go as far as she can is what makes her Davinci. I always thought the Fairyland was a dream world, but I was wrong. Real dreams are beyond our reach. Goodbye… my angel. Thank you for these dreamlike days.

With tears in his eyes, Mike watches da Vinci walk away.
The image of her leaving needs to be overlapped with the image of the Boarder running into the horizon from da Vinci’s Noble Phantasm.

One of the three prophesized calamities. The Curse Calamity.
The only god in the British Lostbelt. It died 12000 years ago.
Was originally a 4-meter tall carefree beast with deer antlers.
After death, the curses (negative emotions) of the fae turned it black, and those 12000 years' worth of curses enlarged it into the Mud Giant form he appears with.
About 2000 meters tall.
Primitive curses made manifest. A giant and repulsive stationary object.
It shrieks as it crawls out of the giant hole.
It is humanoid, but its arms droop down, barely ever moving. Its feet won’t be visible.
It’ll be stretching out of the Hole of Curses, so it won’t be visible from the waist down. I want it to look like it probably has legs but we can’t be sure. Something close to those white ghosts with oversized drapes you often see in manga.
Leave only some faint light where its eyes are supposed to be and the antlers as vestiges of what it once was.
Since it spent 12000 years rotting at the bottom of the ocean, putting some coral and algae on him is a valid idea.

One of the three prophesized calamities. The Beastly Calamity.
An amalgamation of every malignant faerie in the British Lostbelt.
A giant dark dog. About 20 meters.
Since it is an amalgam of Black Dogs, it has leeches circulating its skin.
The drool on its mouth, the grease leaking from its body, and the blood it spills when wounded are all flammable.
The Demonhound Barghest roaming a city is a sign that the path it walked will be swallowed by fire.
It is basically the king of the Black Dogs, the fae from English folklore.
That said, instead of taking the form of a hunting Doberman, this Black Dog will be more like a lion with its muscular, strong build and its snub nose.
Its main meal is not meat, but rather the flames that come out when life burns.
It is not slaughtering humans and fae to eat their flesh, it’s doing it to produce its food.
It invades and ruins the major British cities one by one to satiate its hunger and destructive urges.
An Elemental Eater. It feeds on not only fire but the five major elements. The only way to fell it is with weapons created by civilization.
In that sense, it’s a disaster that can’t be defeated by the British Lostbelt.

Lostbelt 6 Outline​

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intermission

A brief anecdote. The story of a lonely planet.

A strange phenomenon where the still-bleached Earth started crumbling at multiple points.
The bleaching was essentially the anesthesia for a resurrection surgery. If it’s undone now, the planet will split. The President of Earth is just as surprised as we are.
The cause of this is in the British Isles. We move the British Isles, the Sixth Lostbelt, which rejected everything that tried to enter until now.


Chapter 6: The British Isles, December 1st, 2018

Main story information and foreshadowing to present

None in particular.

Objectives

Defeating Faerie Queen Morgan and her retainers, the Fae Round Table.
Creating a Holy Sword. Amputating the land’s Vortigern.
Rescuing Merlin from his prison tower.
Grand Saber Arthuria Avalon’s introduction scene (Only an introduction. She won’t fight.)

Crypters, Alteregos

Beryl will do his Beryl things and his arc ends without him having done anything decent.

Mash’s emotional state

Beryl duels Galahad.
What can she hope to accomplish now that she’s hurt by the human malignancy and the corruption of human history?
The whole journey so far led Mash to one conclusion. How to measure good vs evil and how to measure loss vs gain.
Defending is another form of attacking. No life in this world is exempt from responsibility.
A Holy Knight is born.

Goredolf’s development

A perfect dad. While he’s still in his role of overreacting hamster, he can get things done when needed.
All Chaldea staff members and players will already be loving him by this point.
This should be where the death flags finally start appearing.

Visual concepts

A constantly pink sky with an aurora. An island split in two by the aurora. (The sky will turn blue in the last chapter. This is where Merlin’s last words in the Christmas event will come into play.)
The Tower of the Furthest Ends is visible on the horizon.
A castle under seawater.
The garden of Avalon.
The inner sea of the planet (Earth’s interior. Soft and sparkly) (where Excalibur will be forged), Albion the Spirit Cavern.
Londinium, the immoral capital (Covered in dark smoke because it’s a city made by humans. London.).
The Fae Knights who wear the Saint Graphs of the Knights of the Round Table, and the Queen Knights (themed after moths, fishes, horses, and whatnot).

Image colors

Rainbow and the color of the Rhongomyniad light behind the throne in the 6th Singularity.

Plot

A historical drama starting from the foundation of a small nation and ending on its downfall.
A power struggle between 3 sides: humans, fae (Morgan), and fae (Oberon).

The British Lostbelt deviated from history during the Ulster Era of Celtic Mythology.
What would have happened if the fae had destroyed all worlds (except the Celtic one) before the Celts entered their age of humans and heroes.
(That’s what we want them to believe. In reality, it’s a world where fae survived the Catastrophe (Sefar). The fae didn’t make Excalibur, the special anti-threat weapon designed for the sake of humanity. The fae made new humans out of nostalgia.)
Later, the last few surviving humans were collected (reserve bug catching), raised as pets, and remained part of fae society all the way to 2020.
Although humans are gradually being elevated from pets to citizens, treating them as pets is still the norm.

LB6 will be a road movie. Think The Wizard of Oz.
The story of a girl leaving her stable and going through all kinds of adventures until she reaches the center of the world and makes a star.
It’s set in a world lacking something important (the Holy Sword).
Since this world doesn’t have the invisible revelation of order or any other source for the magnetism that ties people together, everyone lives only for their own self-interest.
Instead of thinking about good or evil or social justice, they all act thinking about their loves (what they want to do) first and foremost.
For that reason, the goodest men can hurt others without a second thought and the evilest men can sacrifice themselves for a partner.
An ensemble cast with a chain of misunderstandings that can only lead to tragedy.

Existing assets to use

Gareth
Medb
Grimm (Odin’s identity reveal. This is Cu Chulainn (Caster)’s moment.)
Merlin
Galahad, the Knight of Heaven (found the Holy Grail)
Gawain, the Knight of Earth (founded the Royal Court)

Evergreen oaks are necessary for fae survival. All three sides of the conflict with have their own Tree.
One in Atonement City Camelot, the capital where any sin can be forgiven.
One in Londinium, the immoral city where the egoistic humans gather.
And one in Oberon, the prince of the Fae Clan and leader of the anti-fae faction.

New assets to produce

Tuatha Dé Danann
The tribe of goddess Dána. The giant Fomoire is the chief. They’re a force from an island northwest of the British Isles.

Divine Beast Cernunnos
A character in Avalon le Fae’s history before the events of the game. Originally a Celtic god in Britain. A god tricked by the fae and tributed as a horrendous blood offering.

Dethroned King Lot and the Green Knight
A Nightcall created by fusing two fae.
He is the king of the perished nation of Orkney, the father in Gareth’s family, and a Gawain-killing machine.

Faerie Knight Gawain, Tristan, and Lancelot
The Knights of Rounds serving Morgan. Dog, curse, and fountain.

Arthuria Caster
LB6’s main character and the one introducing us to her world.
Not as strong of a heroine as the ones before her. An ordinary hard worker who sucks at dealing with situations, fails a lot, and is always stumbling. Her only good quality is how fast she gets back on her feet.

She has a habit of saying “Sorry for being weak. I’ll try harder. I’ll try harder.”.
Fighting scares her. Hating and being hated wears her down. She’s happy with her normal life.
→ But she still went on her journey to make the Holy Sword. Because everyone has high hopes for it. Because she knew people were working hard behind the scenes to ensure her success. Her whole life, she has been saying “don’t worry, I’ll do my best” with a smile in response to requests she knew to be beyond her capabilities.
A heroine everyone has been always asking to do this, do that, save the world, etc.
But instead of being sad and pathetic about it, she’s rather carefree and unaffected by other people’s opinions.
One of her quotes will be “I want to find my purpose somewhere along this long journey” → At the very end, at the scene that decides the fate of the world, she says with a blushing smile:

"In the end, I couldn’t find it. Teeheehee.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Everyone has amazing accomplishments under their belts and I really think that’s awesome, but in the end, all of us having fun makes me happier than me having fun on my own. I understand how mundane this is compared to a dream to be special or admirable. But this dream is like a shining star to me.
(She uses the roundabout expression “like a shining star to me” instead of the more assertive “this is a shining star” period. That’s because she still doesn’t understand the nature of a shining star. She’s a growing girl who still has a lot to learn. And her end has come before she learns any of it.)
I was always failing but that was not a big deal.
I was lonely but that was not a big deal.
I couldn’t find my star, but I managed to make one for myself! Hehe!
(She then fades to nothing flashing a smug smile to all who took care of her. Psheew~)"

This really puts into perspective how ridiculous it is that people genuinely think Herc is only building level even without his more impressive feats.
