@eyes-xf-sin || From here

For once, his Eyes of God hadn't activated. At all. When he touched her arm, he expected to see... something. Anything. But no. This woman was either supernatural or a saint - and one was far more believable than the other. Could she tell? Could she tell who he was? What he was doing here? She had to have been supernatural, right? Either way... He knew he could only operate on her now. He couldn't kill her. "...Can you explain, if I may ask?"

Jeanne D'Arc was a woman who had been far from flawless in her life. She, just as any other human - had committed sins. But this was not the saint they came to worship. In that image, the heroic spirit of ruler had been created, casting out all that was seen as 'evil' in her Alter.

She's not a saint. How can she be, when she did not even have the temptation to chose evil? The ruler had never found it fair. Though she lacked the capacity to fill anger, it doesn't stop the hollow pit that forms in her stomach whenever she thinks about the suffering of her other self.

So why? Why was this happening again? She'd thought she'd made peace with her Alter- hadn't she? Why had that maddened look returned to her eyes? That sword she'd cut open her stomach with- she'd never seen it before!

"I-! It wasn't me! My sister, s-she..." For someone who had once stood steadfast in the face of death and threats of torture, Jeanne found herself at a loss for words. Something's wrong. Something's so terribly wrong - she couldn't hear the voices of the saints, she couldn't heal her own wounds. It feels too familiar - reminding her of the terrified child she'd once been.

"I-I'm not a witch!"

Panic had too firmly settled in to give him any proper explanation, even if she could think of something to say.

@braveryhearted said: "I feel sorry for you, to serve these ugly humans. You should be free. Don't worry, by the time I am done, there won't be any left~" ( from Eito)

"Is that so? Well, your sympathies aren't misplaced, boy. Unfortunately, my contract was formed by the fool before me. One day, I'll be sure to devour the hand on which those command seals rest."

How odd, to hear such a thing come out of a teenager. Then again - it didn't take some people as long as others to develop a disdain for humanity. Her legs cross over one another, a hand placed beneath her chin.

"But you intrigue me. Please, tell me of this grand vision of yours. I enjoy your ambitions."

He's an interesting diversion, if nothing else.

"...my tits aren't that big. Trust me - I would know. Where do people even get the idea to draw me like that -? I'm hot enough as is - sheesh."

[nobuverse]

"Soul cycle... - is that like the rinse cycle in a dishwasher?" Okita blinks in confusion at the term, her head ever so slightly veering to the side. "So - there's a special time for putting souls into bodies?"

The question was as genuine as it was innocent, her gaze wandering back to her sword as she could hear Rengoku give a heavy sigh. She shrugs her shoulders in response to the voice only she could hear, not understanding why he was annoyed with her. Her gaze then turns back to Hayden as he speaks once more.

"Do you think I'll be able to do that? I'd like that."

She spoke as though the place he wanted to take her to would be the thing granting her the ability to do so; as if she didn't already have the inherit ability to do so. Her brain still felt all fuzzy - like she'd been staring at a TV screen for too long. ( Oh. It'd been a very long time since she'd watched TV, hadn't it? Twenty? Thirty years? She has vague memories of watching it with a girl smaller than her - but she couldn't remember who that was).

"Hmm..... Ok. I'll follow you. But only if you promise" At this, her voice is very stern - knowing she always had to take promises very seriously. "Maybe then, you can tell me who is fighting who....so I know which side I'm supposed to be on"

"I am Hayden. Desmond Hayden."

Of all the things Hayden has gained and lost over the years, his name has stuck with him. It is his charm, his lucky charm. Even if he loses his honor, his weapon, or his life; his name will be his own. And speaking it gives him some small measure of strength. He steels himself.

"I am a maintainer of the Soul Cycle. I also fight the occasional injustice."

To sum up his entire life in two sentences, it feels right.

There is a moment of silence as he finds himself lost at what next to do with this strange woman. He can't simply leave her here, this was an active warzone. But at the same time he didn't know what he should do with her. Finally, he speaks.

"I don't know what this Counter Force is, but I can't just leave you here. I need you to accompany me back to the safe area. You can more properly explain this Counter Force, where you came from once we've settled in." He pauses for a moment.

"Currently, there is a war going on. When time permits, I will have the railing fixed. I promise you this. Will you accompany me?"

Herculean task to summarize fate of all things. Good job so far.

Oh I'm not even touching the surface of fate as a universe here. I haven't even gotten into what Chaldea is other than a "world saving organization", the holy grail wars, the moon cell, the holy grail's corruption, mage bloodlines, the lost belts....

There's so much I don't even pretend to understand well. There are people WAY more qualified in the Nasuverse than me

I'm just trying to make it as easy as possible for people outside the fandom

i think it needs more mini nobu.

"Nob, nob! Nobu-no...Nobu bad Nobu!"

Special Translation: Explaining our existence would require an understanding of the ancient artifact known as the holy grail-! It's much too complicated! But know that we were created from the foolishness of our original form! Let's just say, Lady Nobunaga was messing with a very powerful artifact in a very irresponsible way...

"What are you getting nervous for?" The avenger gives her master a knowing smile, hand place on top of her head in a soft and reassuring manner "Did you forget you had me on your side? Come on - we got this!"

The hand atop her head was all it took for Kiomi to snap back to reality.

"Nobu,"

Something must really be wrong with her if Nobunaga was over here worrying about her. Then again, they've been together for so long that it wouldn't be too surprising if Avenger picked up on the little things and mannerisms that indicated even the slightest signs of weariness or anxiety.

Going into this mission, Kiomi didn't know why her gut felt all tied up and knotted. It's not like it's the first time that they've gone through world-ending scenarios… in fact, they've been to far too many that she's even more disensitized to the gruesome proceedings and aftermath each and every time.

So what was this all of a sudden? Her nerves felt frayed, and for what reason, she didn't know or comprehend. It's not as if she's been using her magic circuits to its limits…

… at least it didn't feel like she did.

Maybe she was just tired. But really she couldn't tell. For now, however, she sighed.

"If you fell for the nervous act, then you're really going soft." She finally continued, letting one hand rest on her hip as she pointed at the Daimyo.

"Too soft!" She bellowed, a strict expression on her visage. When she lowered her hand, she reciprocated the head pat with one of her own.

"I never forget those who walk by my side. Remember that."

Beginner's Guide to Servants and Contracts

to be updated as I think of things to add!

Hello, hello! This is a go-to guide I've tried to put together for people who are either interested in forming contracts with my servants or knowing more about Fate lore in general so you can navigate the world better. Here's the legend of how it's organized:

Topics / FAQs are in bold

Information canon to fate are in normal text

Information specific to how I run things on my blog are in italics

So, what is a Servant?

Servants in the fate universe, otherwise commonly referred to as 'Heroic Spirits', are legends manifested into physical beings. They can be characters in ancient legends, well known inventors or authors, and historical figures. They are (generally ) incredibly powerful familiars that have abilities based off of their legends.

Each servant is bound to a master by a contract of mutual understanding, represented by a set of three command seals, usually on the back of their hands. More on these two things later

Servants are divided into 7 different standard classes: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserkers.

More traditional mages will refer to their servants by their class name rather than their full names to avoid giving away their servant's identity, and therefore, their weaknesses. But how your muse refers to them is completely up to you.

As much as I'd like to give you a breakdown on these classes, they make sense no and have absolutely no consistency in Fate: Grand Order.

Separate from these classes are extra "rule-breaking" classes, that in one way or another defy everything I've just laid out here. Explaining one of these would take their own paragraph, so I recommend checking out the bios of the respective characters to learn more about their origin.

These classes include ( but are not limited to ): Foreigner, Alter Ego, Moon Cancer, Avenger, Pretender and Ruler.

What are command seals?

Command seals are marks on the Master's body shaped in a unique pattern to represent their contract. Here is a sheet of the ones known in fate, if you want to check it out!

A command seal is a tool that can be used by the master to either force a servant to do something against their will or to allow them to complete feats that would otherwise be impossible. To shackle or empower them, another words. The commands are generally short and simple: "kill that enemy" , "come back to me" or "heal your wounds" are some examples of commonly given commands. Typically, masters have only three of these, but, as always, there are exceptions for everything in Fate.

The command seal is used by uttering the phrase "By my command seal..." following by the command.

One the last command seal is used, the contract is broken and the servant returns to the throne of heroes. The same effect can also be achieved if the command seals are removed through physical means ( and yes, that's as dark as it implies ).

Typically, I treat command seals the same way they are treated in the game of Fate:GO - something that can be refilled over a long period of rest as long as the last seal is not used.

How is a contract formed between a servant and master?

Within the fate universe, servants are summoned through a ritual - called forth from a pentagram-like circle called a "summoning circle". If the summoner wants a servant in particular, they may use something called a catalyst - an object somehow tied to the heroic spirit they want. If no catalyst is used, the servant that is summoned will be the one closest to the caller's emotional state. Usually, the power for this ritual is provided by an object called "the holy grail" that everyone fights and kills each other over. It's fate, though - there are always exceptions to everything.

It makes for a great anime, but I rarely use the holy grail wars as a pretext for summoning my muses.

Instead, I allow other muses to summon them from any time or place to serve as powerful familiars. This can be on purpose ( via a ritual ) - or an accident. Simply touching an old summoner's circle left behind by a careless mage, for example, is a trope I like to use quite often. A lot of my muses will decide to form a contract purely off a whim of wanting to save someone's life.

I LOVE accidental and untrained masters, so never be afraid to approach me with that idea!

How Long does a contract Last?

For my blog, the contract lasts as long as the servant and the master are alive. They can be broken by the will of master, but not the servant. The same servant can be re-summoned, and contracts can change from one master to another if the servant is in agreement.

What is mana and how do you handle it ?

Mana exchange in fate canon is a cursed knowledge that goes back to the old visual novels where the concept for the series was first introduced. It can be transferred through blood or - nsfw methods, let's say. I don't really talk about it or apply it here. A lot of people in this fandom do the same.

I treat mana as the life-force that's present in all living beings, even in untrained mages. With the exception of Stheno ( who has the vampirism trait ) I don't usually treat it as something you can manipulate or mess with. The mana the servant needs to live is simply maintained through the contract they have formed. Greedy mages, however, may take the lives of innocent people to harvest their mana and give power to their own servants.

What is a Noble Phantasm?

A noble phantasm is the servant's trump card - the most powerful of their abilities. It can be a spell, an action, or a passive ability. It varies wildly depending on the servant, but is most often something that takes a lot of their energy to use.

The Physical Body of a Servant and their Spirit Form

Even the weakest servant is many times stronger and faster than any human. They are able to pick up their masters and drop across buildings without much effort. Of course, some are stronger than others - others more agile, and some weak in everything but their specialization. This highly varies from servant to servant.

When not in their physical human form, servants can enter what is known as "spirit form", where they are undetectable by ordinary humans. Think of it as an invisible cloud of dust, following their master like a guardian angel - or exploring somewhere else entirely, if they so desire. While they are undetectable to normal humans, other servants and certain magically attuned people can sense their presence. Though they are able to perceive the world around them, servants in spirit form are not able able to take action unless they return to their physical form.

In fate canon, they can also more easily recover from injuries in this state. Other things can be done to help conserve and replenish their magical energy, such as eating food or sleeping. ( Things that are helpful, but not obligatory to servants ).

I treat their bodies as functionally the same as humans in their physical form with how they react to damage. That means they can be injured, and returning to their spirit forms will not automatically heal all their wounds. I also will treat eating and sleeping as necessities . I personally think it makes things more interesting and gives more opportunities for interactions.

Sharing Memories through Dreams

This is a detail that varies slightly from one form of fate media to another - but it's generally accepted that Masters will have dreams involving the memories of the previous lives of their servants. Some media also suggests that this holds true for the servants as well - that they begin to share memories of their master's past, but that one is less concrete, from what I've researched.

This blog goes with the idea that a Master and Servant can share dreams. The affinity for this dream-sharing is particularly strong when it involves memories. This makes the formation of long term contract with a servant a particularly intimate experience. With enough time, there will be no secrets between the two, regardless of what they may try and hide.

"Well, well! If we look on the bright side- that means we're doing a good job if you've only heard that much! The scanners on Chaldea must be quite amazing!"

There was some reassurance in that. Most humans- even those who could fight - stood very little chance against something like that.

"It's a terrible situation, with these chimeras...and they're a mix of all kinds of things you'd never see together! Some of them are pretty- but very dangerous! They don't give me much trouble but.. you can't just something like that run lose. It'd be one argument if it was just another wild animal trying to feed itself - but these things don't even feed on corpses-!"

Her voice doesn't wane from its unusual cheerful pitch, save for a hint of disgust that could be found in her last statement. Such an imbalance in nature could not be permitted to exist. It was a display of sadism which should have only been exclusive to human beings.

"Trouble is - we haven't been having much luck in figuring out why its happening. It could be a mage who's forgotten to sterilize his experiments, a portal from another dimension - all sorts of things! The soldiers here agreed to search for the source with me, but I'm not sure how many of them were actually prepared for everything."

There is a small pause as the lancer considers another option, however.

"Say...you wouldn't happen to be able to handle yourself in a fight, would you? Trouble is, they're clever cats...always one step ahead of me if I fight them alone..."

While being happy to see her friend, Fey indeed noticed that she was all alone in that area, even the soldiers were absent, other from a few they could see in the far distance.

Despite the other was smiling, she could tell there was a hint of sadness behind it, though it was something she shouldn't barge in any further, especially when it was a personal subject.

"Rumors about lurking monsters? I've heard a word or two, but not in specific detail." The lancer replied took a quick look towards the mentioned forest before gazing back to Nagao. "Is that the very reason why you and the soldiers are stationed here?"

( I've decided to put together a basic guide for how servants and contracts work in the fate universe and how I treat them on this blog in general, specifically for those unfamiliar with the fate universe.

So my question to you all!
