#this is the only reason I made a design for odysseus btw

[rayray-2ice]

Did I really just design Odysseus to draw him dressed as Mama Odie? Yes. Yes, I did.

[toxic-potions-productions]

Okay, so I finally cracked & made an Epic the musical oc

But, just know that she doesn't change the story in any way. I just made a sister for fun, & I'm not trying to steer away from the canon/mythology that Epic is

& here she is! Ithaca's beauty

I'll let you guys guess what suitor is brave enough to go after her, cuz I can tell you, you'll be shocked Who else think purple is just her color?

Anyways, here's miss Anastasia of Ithaca! Alot of trial & error, crash & burns, & alot of near crashouts, but it was absolutely worth it! Considering how she's a follower of Artemis, she took an oath to stay pure of any & all men. But, since she's Odysseus's daughter, she's a simple gal to a pretty woman

Sometimes, she wears brown arm bracers, a black shoulder garment, or a muted purple cloak, if you wanna know any optional things about her design Despite being a hunter of Artemis, she's an animal lover at heart. The doe & owl aren't animals of Artemis or Athena, if you must know. Just a couple of little guys that met her on Circe's island. The doe lives out in a farmhouse away from the suitors & the owl goes back & forth to give letters to Circe or anyone else to see what they're up to. Like Telemachus when he's off on that diplomatic mission of his that was mentioned in "Hold them down"

She's also associated with creating poisons & toxins, medicine for those that need it & deadly toxins for those that threaten the peace. You can tell that was an inspiration of Shinobu Kocho. She also has the same muscle density as Mitsuri, BTW

She wants nothing more to protect her brother, but doesn't always allow him to hide behind her so he can learn to protect himself. But, she's still super close to him & her mother & always spares & trains with Telemachus whenever she gets the chance

I like to imagine Argos being not just a hunting dog, but a protector of women & children, which is practically what Ana is. He's a smart puppy, so he knows alot of what she's masking to keep a front up in front of the suitors to not show weakness. But, when I tell you she's burnt out, that woman is BURNT OUT

The reason why she knows Circe is because she went on a sailing trip to get away from the stresses, & shipwrecked on Circe's island after a storm. Her nymphs loved her since she wasn't a man, & just for how sweet she was. They're still in contact because of her little messenger owl friend

During the song "Odysseus", she overhears the suitors' plans, & all the years of anger, frustration, & being unsafe in her own palace made her explode. The suitors think Ody was the one that hid their weapons, but it was actually her. She cuts her hair, just so it's easier & also cuz she's a firm believer in hair holding memories (Cuz so am I), so if she was canon, that song would play out a bit differently. Telemachus still shows up at the best time & holds his own for a bit, & as Menalthius overpowers him, Anastasia comes in instead of Ody, as she swings him off her baby brother. But, her presence "doomed" Odysseus just as much as Telemachus did. So, it was brother & sister fighting against 100-something suitors, but even people like Anastasia get tired. When that happens, THAT'S when Odysseus finally shows back up, leading to Anastasia & Telemachus to dip out of there

A lyric in that song that she has is this (Sorry if this is just as bad as the rewrite of "The Challenge" from her POV): "The memories of your crimes have been cut away, so now I will finally make you all pay!"

For only the nicest suitor, since apparently there was one, she gives him a coin to pay Charon. It's Ancient Greece, & when you're the chilliest suitor that didn't do anything to your family, it's only fair you at least have something for the ferryman Yes, I did my research!

Odysseus became the monster to get home, Anastasia became the monster to protect her family. But, despite the hard shell, she's actually just a big dork that gets excited over tiny things & loves to eat whatever her mother makes

Yes, you have my full permission to ship her with Circe & draw her if you want, @ me in all of them so I can rave over them >w< ------------------------------------------------ Anastasia by: Me

p,,, p l e a s e ? I mean, please don't feel pressured to tell us about Herc either though!!! but if you want to ramble about her I'll very happily listen,,,,, as a greek mythology buff with fate brain rot your Herc makes me,,,, very happy,,,,, 🥺

HECC YEAH!

Alright, so as a disclaimer, she looks Like That(tm) because I’ve had Heracles as an OC since I was like an 11yo, so LONG before I even knew Fate existed and I’m not planning on changing the way she looks to look more like FSF/FSN Herc.

I also think that the armor I already have designed on her looks closer to Achilles/Jason/Asclepius/Odysseus’s more mecha-centered looks for Fate Greek Servants.

Next, I’ve established that the reason she is female is two separate reasons, and this has to do with compatibility for Roleplay:

When I did roleplay with others, I just had it set that she was from Musashi’s timeline and she isn’t actually the Heracles/Alcides of our timeline.

For my personal writing, it’s like an Artoria situation where history chose to remember her as a man because misogynistic Ancient Greece being like, ‘well there’s no way a woman could be a child of Zeus and this powerful and skilled at being in charge, so you must actually be a man’.

Second Disclaimer: no one has permission to take my designs and recreate them or use them for RP or fanfics.

SO listed below are the major points about her history in this verse and also how she currently operates as a Servant!!

In her history:

Same song and dance as the beginning where her powers surfaced at a young age, so Chiron found her and took her in to train her to be a hero. However, the change-up here is that Zeus gifted Heracles a portion of his power when she was born because he had the intention of this child being the hero that would guide Greece into a new age as his tickcet for his bet with Hera (this was in the 12 Trials original writing). Basically she never had a choice on whether or not she would be a hero.

When she traveled to Thebes in order to attempt to enter the Thebian Army, a whole situation happened with a coup and an attack with a hydra from Lernaea that got lured to Thebes from a nest by the people doing the coup... It was an entire thing. Heracles defeated the hydra and helped identify the traitor guards, so she was able to prove herself to Queen Eurydice and King Creon, who immediately had her married to their son Megara (below).

(he may have been in line for the Thebian throne and an incredibly skilled warrior, but he was THE Malewife.)

A bit before she moved to Thebes, when she was staying in Athens, Eurystheus met her and fell in love with her, but when she rejected his feelings that was when Hera came to him and ‘chose him as her champion’ so she could start her dirty ass scheme.

Heracles had a happy and loving marriage with Megara and they had one daughter and two sons. She would frequently go out with the Argonauts, but always came home to them as soon as she got back on shore.

When the Hera Snake Shit(tm) happened, Heracles was... broken. After the fact, the shock and grief made her go mad all over again until she dragged herself to Thebes and tried to convince Eurystheus to execute her, but because he was in cahoots with Hera he forced Heracles to the 12 Trials instead to ‘redeem’ herself... and this shit lasted 12 years, btw. So that’s 12 years of retraumatizing herself by being forced to do these impossible feats to be forgiven for the murders she was forced by Hera to commit... on top of Hera also sabotaging the Trials wherever she could.

When Heracles completed the initial 10, Eurystheus tricked her into two more, and after completing those two she snapped and nearly killed him, screaming at him to free her. It was then that Eurystheus bitched out and confessed everything to Heracles; Hera’s hatred, her whole plan... all of it. Heracles then stormed her ass out of Mycenae and Thebes and never returned.

She spent the rest of her life until her death by Nessus being cruel, cold, and tyrannical. Heracles had 1 (one) last biological child that she left with a king who would eventually raise that child to found Sparta (Leonidas’s ancestor), but the rest of her very numerous children were all actually orphaned or less fortunate children that she adopted so they could claim the title of ‘child of Heracles’ to help themselves get ahead in life (this is where the Heracleidae came to be). Even so, she usually left them on their own and didn’t open herself to them as a mother-figure.

Her life as a Servant:

She may have manifested as an Avenger class, but this is because of Megara becoming a part of her soul and manifesting with her as the manifestation of her hatred for the gods; he’s made the active choice to turn himself into the arrow meant to kill Hera.

If it weren’t for Megara bonding with her Spirit Core, Heracles would qualify for Grand Berserker class. Because of this, Heracles still has a Madness Enhancement factor that will kick in when she encounters a god. Very similar to when Penthisilea goes buckwild at the mention of Achilles, except it only activates and makes her black out when she is face-to-face with and aware that someone is a god.

Despite being an Avenger, she has an incredibly sweet disposition, especially towards kids. A habit from her life that stuck with her as a Servant is that if she sees a child (Heroic Spirit or not) who has no parents or awful parents, she WILL adopt them and start calling them her child, and no, not in the creepy weird m*mmy k*nk way, foh. In some cases, she’ll just adopt someone because they look like they could be her child. One fucking hilarious instance of this is that she has adopted Archer Emiya even though he gripes all the time that they look the same age physically. Does she care?? NO, that’s her son, babey!

Her Noble Phantasms are the almost the same as FSF Archer Alcides, especially Reincarnation Pandora and King’s Order... and Reincarnation Pandora is actually the reason why she would up contracting with Goetia. But she also has the manifestation of all 12 Trials, albeit in a different form than what Archer Alcides can bring them forth as, and this is because by some handiwork by Daedalus, Heracles can alter the King’s Order to adapt to whatever situation she needs them for.

ex: Cerberus can become a motorcycle aside from also being a three headed hellhound and the famous Lernian Hydra can turn into a Mercedes Benz aside from also being the fuck-off giant Kinghidorah.

Daedalus messing with Heracles’s Noble Phantasms is the most shown in her (Daedalus is a woman in this verse bc fuk u) alteration of Nine Lives to be a multi-adaptable weapon with nine different functionalities that Heracles can flip them to at a moment’s notice. These alternate forms include: bow, twin swords, double-ended spear, polearm, long barreled rifle, twin short arms, bludgeon, battering ram, and can even conform to the braces on her arms and become gauntlets (yes, her and Ruler Martha would vibe).

(I realize that this isn’t the best design, I’m still working on drawing weapons)

Oh, I almost forgot about her other non-combatant quirk: she fucking LOVES blond men. If a grown dude is a blond and NOT a Greek-- regardless of anything else about their physical appearance-- it cranks their attractiveness scale up by at least 2 points for her. Goetia, Fionn, Arthur/Artoria, Gawain, Kintoki, Gilgamesh (he’s on thin fuckin ice), Jekyll, Goredolf... none of them are safe.

She also very much loves modern era fashion and dressing up. Heracles quickly befriends a lot of the female Servants/staff and goes on periodic ladies nights out with them.
