Hello people, have a nice
morning/evening/night depending the time you may be reading this or
accidentally bumped here. The reason of my post is due to my
“controlable” and non addictive hook to TYPE-moon's Fate
franchise, I love all the Fate series : Fate/stay night, Fate/Zero,
Fate/hollow ataraxia, Fate/extra and even the non canon Carnaval
Phantasm. I really like the series despite the fact that they change
some heroic spirits from the past to pretty girls (note that even
when pretty they can take out Orochimaru's butt easier than a Sannin
team). This is done for fanservice or to pervs out there to have some
fantasies with them(me included XD) and to have a romance issue in
the series. Without losing the point I hope that with this post I not
only do a mediocre class job but, to create an interest from my
viewers on how awesome and cool the fate franchise is. Without
further filler I will start.
Overview
Since I'm not going in
deep with servant classes, noble phantasms or with magecraft her, I
will do just a brief bio on the original heroic spirit and then a bio
on the fate character. Note this is the beginning of the age I will
post so much Fate/Zero people will troll me to death. Without losing
point I will begin speaking about: “King Arthur”, “emperor
Nero”,”Jack the ripper” “Frankestein” and “Sir Francis
Drake”.
King
Arthur/ Arturia Pendragon
What
you think right now:
According
to legend:
King Arthur
is a legendary British leader of the late 5th and early 6th
centuries, who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the
defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early 6th century.
The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and
literary invention, and his historical existence is debated and
disputed by modern historians. The sparse historical background of
Arthur is gleaned from various sources, including the Annales
Cambriae, the Historia Brittonum, and the writings of
Gildas. Arthur's name also occurs in early poetic sources such as Y
Gododdin.
What
we get in fate:
According
to fate:
Saber's
true identity is Altria
Pendragon (アルトリア・ペンドラゴン,
also romanized as Artoria and
Arturia), better known as
Arthur Pendragon
(アーサー・ペンドラゴン,
) and King Arthur, who is regarded as a male in history. She is the
"Once and Future King" and a legendary hero of England.
While
Arthur is a hero well known as a model for knights, it is said he
actually existed as "Dux Bellorum", the king of War, and
was a great general who led the twelve kings of Northern England,
Gododdin, while preventing foreign invasion from forces such as the
Scottish and the Picts. This identity of the real great leader behind
the legend of King Arthur has many variations, and it is though that
there may have been two people who fit the description of the king.
One is the full Briton Arthur, while the other is the Roman Arturius,
and their two separate sets of accomplishments are said to have
merged into the legend of King Arthur that is known in the present
time.
Nero
Claudius
What
you think right now:
Accorfing
to myth:
Nero (Nero Claudius Caesar
Augustus Germanicus); 15 December 37 – 9 June 68)was Roman
Emperor from 54 to 68, and the last in the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Nero was adopted by his great-uncle Claudius to become his heir and
successor, and succeeded to the throne in 54 following Claudius'
death. During his reign, Nero focused much of his attention on
diplomacy, trade, and enhancing the cultural life of the Empire. He
ordered theaters built and promoted athletic games. During his reign,
the redoubtable general Corbulo conducted a successful war and
negotiated peace with the Parthian Empire. His general Suetonius
Paulinus crushed a revolt in Britain and also annexed the Bosporan
Kingdom to the Empire, beginning the First Roman–Jewish War.
what
we get in fate:
Just for the record she is
not another incarnation of the girl above neither she is the same
person she is just similar (actually smaller Arturi is 1.57 m while
Nero is 1. 45 or a midget)
According
to myth:
Saber's identity is Nero Claudius
Caesar Augustus Germanicus, the Fifth Roman Emperor. She had the
reputation of a notorious tyrant whose rule was made up of schemes
and poison as she oppressed all religious forces, especially
Christians, and the Roman Senate during the period from 50 to 60 AD.
It is believed in one theory that the Book of Revelation was written
as a reaction against said oppression. She was regarded in the same
light as the devil, as the assumed Hebrew pronunciation of of her
name as a emperor, Caesar pronounced as "NRVN QSR", equates
with the "Number of the Beast". This name and the "Beast
of Babylon" refers to Rome itself and it is not an alias
given to her as an individual.
Jack
the Ripper
What
you think:
According
to legend:
Jack the Ripper"
is the best-known name given to an unidentified serial killer who was
active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the
Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name originated in a
letter, written by someone claiming to be the murderer, that was
disseminated in the media. The letter is widely believed to have been
a hoax, and may have been written by a journalist in a deliberate
attempt to heighten interest in the story. Other nicknames used for
the killer at the time were "The Whitechapel Murderer" and
"Leather Apron".
What
we get in fate:
According
to fate:
Jack is the perpetrator of
a series of gory murders in 19th Century England. She grew up without
ever having a home, and spent her time living in the streets. She was
extremely thin, and lived outside even during cold weather. She only
has memories of the alleyways shrouded in mist and stench. The areas
where she slept were not places of rest, but rather nests covered in
waste and feces where filthy rats ran about. She was in constant
danger of being attacked at night while she slept, and upon waking up
on the morning, someone may have easily died during the night. She
constantly dealt with pitch black smog so bad that she often couldn't
breath properly or even open her eyes. She eventually reached
the point where her mind she could no longer deal with the
conditions. Upon randomly finding prostitutes, she would impose her
image of a mother onto them. After being rejected, she would simply
wander the streets once more without change. If she came into contact
with her "Mother" again, she would slowly approach within
the mist, and after saying "I'm sorry", she would slit
their throats. As they were in anguish, she began to dissect them
while in tears. After obtaining a part of the woman, she would press
it against her face and cry while remembering the warmth of her
mother's womb.
Sir
Francis Drake
What
you think:
According
to the legend:
Sir
Francis Drake, Vice Admiral
(1540 – 27 January 1596) was an English sea captain,
privateer, navigator, slaver, and politician of the Elizabethan era.
Elizabeth I of England awarded Drake a knighthood in 1581. He was
second-in-command of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in
1588. He also carried out the second circumnavigation of the world,
from 1577 to 1580. He died of dysentery in January 1596 after
unsuccessfully attacking San Juan, Puerto Rico.His exploits were
legendary, making him a hero to the English but a pirate to the
Spaniards to whom he was known as El Draque, Draque
being the Spanish pronunciation of "Drake". His name in
Latinised form was Franciscus Draco (Francis the Dragon). King Philip
II was claimed to have offered a reward of 20,000 ducats, about
£4 million (US$6.5M) by modern standards, for his life.
What
we get in fate:
According
to fate:
The person who
circumnavigated the globe and paved the way for England to become the
dominate superpower in the Age of Discovery through its substantial
earnings. This person was also the one who was given credit for the
virtual destruction of Spain's Invincible Armada, which caused the
nation once thought of as "the kingdom on which the sun will
never set" to teeter on the edge of collapse. She is a person
who has dedicated her life to hedonistic pursuits and sees no
difference between a paragon of virtue and a rogue scoundrel. She
revels in all things gaudy, whether they are in war or in her private
life, and is content to chase after ephemeral pleasures and leave
nothing of worth behind, much like the passing of a raging storm. She
is particularly entranced with treasures of gold and sliver, but her
true love lies not with enduring treasure, but those treasures that
explode like fireworks and then quickly fade away. As she so often
declares, "I chase after gold so that I can scatter it like a
storm!" It is for this reason that she is wholly incompatible
with the Hero of Legend that symbolizes "an inexhaustible
treasury." She would also be at odds with the fox-eared Caster,
as Caster is the epitome of eternity. As a devoted libertine, all
that matters to her is the inevitable crash at the end of it all. A
Legendary Spirit who is completely indifferent to the frailty of
human existence, she is content to indulge in her own whims and
desires until death comes to greet her. She died of dysentery at the
age of 55. Her dying wish was that she be buried in her full armor.
Why
TYPE-MOON changes their gender?
Fanservie maybe, or
maybe they try to bring more heroines to the plot due to the lack of
heroines in the mythology and history, still it can be assumed that
the writers try to relate them to the rest of the male protegonists
in a different way (most people woudn't like a male Arthur with
Shirou).
Final
words
If
anyone read until here I'm surprised. I reallly enjoyed doing this
post and i hope that you may like ore ven better get hoked int fate
franchise. It was really fun to do this and i hope you can keep
supporting the blog. Have a nice morning/day/night!
