What epic hero from history would you want to see in the fate series?
Could have potential as an Gilgamesh style end of series enemy.
Pier. Gerlofs. Donia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Gerlofs_Donia
And I want him as strong as male Arthur.
>... a great sword that is said to have belonged to Pier is on display at the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden. It measures 2.13 metres (7 ft) in length and weighs about 6.6 kilograms (14.6 lb) ... Donia was noted for the ability to wield this great sword so efficiently that he could behead multiple people with it in a single blow.
After FGO Im not sure I want type-moon to shit over any other heroic figure.
In before they somehow turn him into a little.
>>159276081
That's not an epic hero, get this contemporary shit out of here.
>>159276081
*little girl.
>>159276081
This.
>>159276099
Hey, if they can turn Thomas Edison into a freaking leotard-wearing lion-man superhero, anything is possible.
Could work pretty well as a Lancer.
The most incompetent Lancer and/or Rider ever.
>>159275614
Odysseus
Aeneas
Augustus
Strange that Odysseus still isn't a servant, he should have been one of the first picks for a spin-off given his achievements. Is there any other hero save Achilles and Arthur that is as studied even in modern days?
Samson as a Berserker.
>>159276301
This could actually be pretty awesome. He'd be summoned looking like a crazy hobo and his NP would be a reality marble where he becomes an unstoppable knight inside of it
As a Lancer, he has but a single wish he wants the Holy Grail to fulfill: TO GET MOBY DICK, THAT ACCURSED WHITE WHALE.
>>159276335
There are lots. It depends on where and what you study. The obvious answers would be Gilgamesh, Jason and Hercules.
>>159276601
Ahab is confirmed to be in the Throne, but it's not clear into which classes he can be summoned. Lancer is, of course, the most obvious answer, but he might also be an Avenger or a Berserker or something.
>>159276005
This. I admire the enthusiasm to add more heroes to the franchise, but some of the GO designs are absolutely ass. I was fine with blue bodysuits and genderbent kings since they at least looked alright but when pic related gets past quality control I start to worry.
>>159276791
...probably makes more sense as a Berserker, actually.
As a lancer of course.
>>159276301
I like the idea of him as a berserker.
>>159276081
this
i just want to see jesus christ reincarnated as a cute high school girl
>>159276858
Err, I found what I was looking for. I was (presumably) right about Avenger. But he could probably still manifest as Lancer; I can't imagine why he wouldn't be able to.
>>159276970
Then play P3P
This motherfucker did EVERYTHING.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert_of_the_Rhine
>>159276335
Hector and Charlemagne's paladins come to mind.
As for the topic I would like to see Kullervo from the finnish Kalevala as either an Avenger or Berserker.
>>159277091
Summoned as a Hammer (Saber) or Ruler class.
He's perfect. He's possibly one of the top hero of human history, yet he's barely touched in fiction.
>Goes around Europe with a merry band of Mercenary acquiring experience
>Studies ancient Rome and military tactics
>Tricks the Church into funding him an army
>Trains it like no military force had been trained for hundreds of years using his band of Mercs and knowledge
>Saves Europe and Christianity from the Muzzies
>Beats them while drastically outnumbered using superior tactics and trickery
>Founds and Empire that takes Europe out of the Dark Ages
>Beat people to death with a hammer so proficiently he was named after it.
>>159276601
He might already be in Strange Fake as part of Watcher.
>>159276081
Already in Teito Seihai Kitan though not a servant.
>>159277329
It's not really a 'might be' or a 'maybe'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Ahab
>On a previous voyage, the white whale Moby Dick bit off Ahab's leg, leaving him with a prosthesis made out of whalebone.
FSF Volume 3
>His most distinctive feature was the smooth, white artificial leg attached to one of his knees.
Great Avenger right here, or some kind of servant at the very least.
>youngest Russian admiral during WWI
>wanted to restore order after the February Revolution
>wound up being leader of the White Russians and Supreme Ruler of Russia
>betrayed and abandoned, sold out to the Bolsheviks
>went to firing squad completely unafraid
>last request was if a letter could be delivered to wife in Paris, saying that he blesses his infant son
>>159275614
Mohammed
>>159275683
>end of the series enemy
That clearly has to be Satan, who will have a terrifying true form but at first manifests like a buxom young woman (or a loli).
>>159277575
On old Russians, I've got a doozy for Assassin class: Vasily Blokhin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin
>Though records are scant, he was evidently noted for both his pugnaciousness and his mastery of what Joseph Stalin termed chernaya rabota ("wetwork, or lit. Black work"): assassinations, torture, intimidation, and executions conducted clandestinely.
>Hand-picked for the position by Joseph Stalin in 1926, Blokhin led a company of executioners that performed and supervised numerous mass executions during Stalin's reign, mostly during the Great Purge and World War II. He is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940, making him the most prolific official executioner and mass murderer in recorded world history.
one that restores ap for free
>>159278416
how the hell
what are you doing
>>159278416
That's probably Jesus.
He would have his own class: Messiah.
...I'm also stuck waiting for AP by the way.
>>159278444
Can't you tell from all the FP you're getting
>>159280077

It might as well be you red man loving fuck since I exclusively use your guys since everyone else I have sucks
>>159277286
What a based lad.
>>159276335
Archer Odysseus with Apollo's bow would be pretty sweet. His charisma would at least be an A, probably have Eye of the Mind(true) A. His luck would either A with a modifier dropping it down to an E or and E with a modifier raising it to a B or an A since he's got Athena looking out for him all the time kind of like Assassin Emiya has the Grail.
Not sure how Trojan horse would work as a Noble Phantasm though
Godfrey of Bouillon
Genghis Khan as a Rider class with a strong Saber+Archer class fighting abilities like how Shirou Archer has really good swordsmanship for an Archer.
I want Jacob to see if Nasu will either write Masked Luchador Jacob or Fist of the North Star Jacob.
>>159275614
Donald Trump
Not as a hero. Just a creepy old guy who keeps showing up war after war and complains how things haven't been good since the bronze age.
But this anon is right
>159277286
>>159276081
>epic hero
Hitler was such a fucking joke.
Also, Bismarck was Germany's greatest leader.
>>159280667
He's now canonically part of the 5th FGO chapter helping to power up Edison.
>>159280823
Is Trump a magus or something?
Ideally i would like to see a brazilian hero like Lampião for example, but i know thats an impossibility, so i would be satisfied with a lusitanian hero, like Henry the Navigator which tends to be characterized as the one who kickstarted Portugal's, and Europe's, Age of Discovery with his legendary School of Sargres.
But there plenty other dudes i wouldn't mind seeing it.
As far as the Age of Discovery goes, Columbus is a nice start but theres plenty of other dudes to pick.
>>159280948
Edison is powered by all the presidents of USA
>>159280988
Columbus is a Heroic Spirit as of a week or a week and a half ago.
>>159280176
It would probably be his charismatic ability.
Plus attack, plus defense, heals health, etc.
>>159275614
One of my ideas for a hero in a /tg/ CYOA was basically making Imhotep from Egyptian myth.
Of course, the big twist for him as a caster is that he possesses no magical power and projects a 'false divinity'.
He's just a clever man who knows a lot of lore and secrets. Teamed with an Indiana Jones-esque master, they'd fight crime!
>>159281056
I know, thats why i mentioned him.
I really like him
>>159275614
Mark Antony and Cleopatra.
They become even stronger when fighting together.
>>159281087
Ah, my apologies. I understood what you wrote as "Columbus would be a nice start".
Emperor Hirohito, I'm genuinely curious how the Japs feel about him.
>>159281171
Well, he was well-known for his interest in marine biology and ultimately sidestepped as not responsible for the war...
So maybe he'd basically be Japanese Aquaman?
Is there any reason why they haven't introduced Napoopan yet?
>>159281100
>Cleopatra
already exists and she husbandos Caesar.
>>159281110
I see.
Yeah, i like Columbus. I really like how they mix the positive and negative side of his legend
>>159276081
He'll be a holoCaster.
>>159281252
My guess is that Napoleon is probably too big.
Like Genghis Khan. They gotta find the perfect place for someone like that
Sir Christopher Poole, of course.
Al Capone.
Why the fuck not?
>>159281295
>Like Genghis Khan. They gotta find the perfect place for someone like that
Really? You don't know?
>>159281356
I don't know
I'm pretty sure Genghis hasn't be confirmed
>>159280558
Martha's fisticuffs skills are related to him, so the latter.
I still want Davy Crockett. Butch cassidy and sundance would be nice too though.
>>159281252
>>159281295
if you're playing this game Augustus
>>159281411
Maybe Martha is only B ranked because she doesn't know the Submission Techniques of the art
Debatable on his hero status but it would be cool to see him burn everything to the ground.
>>159281519
>his noble phantads basically is just burning the entire site of the grail war to the fucking ground
>it's the only other anti-world phantasm out there.
>>159281404
Sorry, you're right. I got Attila and Genghis mixed up.
don't really follow the series, but as an austrian, I would see...
Emperor Maximilian 1. (called the last knight and the first gunner, so a mixture of Saber and Archer)
Prinz Eugen (wouldn't be surprised, if they would turn him into a little girl, would maybe be a Rider)
Andreas Hofer (actually, just a local hero who is worshipped in Tyrol, I guess he would be an Archer)
>>159281637
Make it happen
>>159281637
>>159281519
I'm a southerner and I find this horribly amusing.
Peter Pan as Caster
Edmond Dantes as Assassin
Jesse James as Rider
Macbeth as Berserker
>>159282301
The Count is a servant already
>>159279805
That's already a class like that, called Saver.
>>159276970
He's a dude. See Martha's CE.
>Simo "Simuna" Hayha nicknamed "White Death" (Russian: Белая смерть, Belaya Smert; Finnish: valkoinen kuolema; Swedish: den vita döden) by the Red Army[citation needed], was a Finnish sniper. According to western sources, using a Finnish-produced M/28-30 rifle (a variant of the Mosin–Nagant rifle) and the Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun, he is reported as having killed 505 men during the 1939–40 Winter War, the highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills in any major war
him as an archer
>>159276880
Is Longinus really a hero? His story is pretty much summed up as "the dude who stabbed Jesus' side, then later converted."
I could see this guy being a Lancer.
>>159275614
Zhang Liao
Khalid Ibn Walid
Saladin
>>159283475
Could be Rider too
>>159276081
I think Nasu mentioned that recent historical figures like him wouldn't be able to become Heroic Spirits. There was little to no mystery about him. All of his "heroic" feats were not done by him but by his soldiers. Unlike Arthur or Gilgamesh or Heracles for instance. So neither him nor people like George Washington or Winston Churchill could become Heroic Spirits. You'd need to be a fair bit older to be one.
>>159283577
>You'd need to be a fair bit older to be one.
>>159283577
>George Washington couldn't become a Heroic Spirit
He literally crossed the Delaware, put down a rebellion, established the world's modern Republic, he also had myths and what not about him (Not telling a lie, being able to chop a tree in one hit, plus multiple stories written about him) and is known as the Father to the Americans.
To deny him Heroic status is an insult considering fucking Oda Nobunaga was made fucking Heroic Spirit.
>>159275614
I'd like to see Jeanne d'Arc in Fate.
>>159283577
They why is Mata Hari a servant in GO?
>>159283736
Anon I have some good news for you. https://myanimelist.net/anime/34662/Fate_Apocrypha
>>159283808
Sorry, I want Jeanne d'Arc, not a shameless slut for dragon cock.
>>159275614
Otto von Bismarck
Class: Avenger (Historical Note: He fucking orchestrated wars to unite Germany and was hated by most of the military officers (This excludes his two best buddies.) (The guys who basically ran Prussia, the North German Confederation, and the German Empire), the Royal Family (Except, Wilhelm I sucked his dick) hated him, and a lot of the legislature hated him, yet he was loved by the German people and it was the unraveling of his set up political engagements that lead to WWI)
I want to watch him talk shit to everybody, especially Marie of Austria and how he btfo in the Prussian-Austrian War.
>>159283833
Then go play grand order
Doc Holliday would make a good archer.
>>159283282

>Assassin level presence concealment
>Terror inspiring legend
>Also is good with dogs.
Are there future prophesied heroes in the series?
Heroes that's expected to exist but haven't or probably will never exist yet?
Do they count?
>>159283885
>what is EMIYA
>>159283577
>actually putting faith into anything nasu said now that we have the unholy abortion that is FGO
Nah, literally all bets are off. Also there's plenty of mystical shit surrounding hitler, he had his men searching the world like madmen for occult things, not to mention the wunderkraft nonsense.
>>159283907
Was he prophesied?
I also meant characters from real history or myth.
>>159283282
Simo Hayha's Noble Phantasm would probably be him invoking a reality marble to match the winter terain of 1939 Finland.
His second Noble Phantasm is probably a variant of the MEoDP and using his bullet to sever the lines.
>>159283949
No he wasn't prophesied but he become a heroic spirt for action in the future which proves the point. As for your second point, none have shown up so far in the franchise but it's been stated that not even a fraction of a fraction of the total number of heroic sports in the Throne of heroes have been summoned so most likely there are at least a few.
I would like to see Väinämöinen killing people by singing them below ground. Will never happen sadly.
Theodore Roosevelt as rider too easy?
How about FDR as rider on a legendary wheel chair.
>>159283954
That would be fucking awesome.
>>159277091
he said Jesus
not a door
>>159283411
Considering the types of "heroes" that exist in the Nasuverse, I'd say he's fine.
>>159283841
I want to watch Bismarck breed with Marie.

Gentlemanish Spanish ikemen Lancer when.
Me from the future.
>>159276081
is david from david and goliath bad, what could he do
she is already there.
top cutie.
Fate has been getting a lot of attention but I would like to see less servants and more things on the Tsukihime side of the Nasuverse get more love.
I mean not EVERYTHING in the universe has to deal with a holy grail war or hero (that FGO has ruined).
>>159281637
>burning the entire site of the grail war to the fucking ground
...so Fuyuki?
>>159276301
How the fuck is he not a servant yet?
Also he should be an anti-lancer, garbage stats, except for his EX Luck
>>159283577
Marie Antoinette and Mozart are servants. I don't think Nasu cares anymore
>>159276301
>Summon Don
>Bumble around during the Holy Grail War trying to become a Knight of Honor
>Servants are duking it out and somehow make it to the end of the Grail War against the final Master and Servant thanks to EX Luck.
>Don's Noble Phantasm is Anti-World
>The entire world bends itself to ensure that he ends up becoming the Knight of Honor like he wanted and get his happy ending.
Solomon can't compete.
>>159276601
his noble phantasm should be a reality marbe and Blood and Thunder is blasting on the background
I want to see Paul Tibbets be Rider with the Enola Gay.
St. Mark
As the evangelist that spread Christianity around the Mediterranean and founded the Alexandrian church (caster/ruler?)
As the patron saint of Venice, representing the city itself (Rider, using his winged lion as his mount)
>>159283577
That's bullshit. He just doesn't want to include him.
>>159285000
>rider St.Mark on a winged lion
As a Venetian I approve of this
>>159275614
Simo Häyhä as archer
Gobind Singh as Saber.
Cyrus the Great
>>159280527
But Genghis Khan is already a cutie, my man.
>>159275614
Alan Turing
but as a girl
Stone Cold Steve Austin
I'd like to see Jesus
>>159285895
That's Atilla
Noone, and I mean, NOONE, has mentioned Noah yet?
WTF is with you guys.
Anti-world Great Flood, Noah's Arc to shits over even Avalon, Unlimited bestiary at disposal, time manipulation, Dove of Olive Branch AND approved incest.
He will literally roll over anything you can come up with.
Longinus as Lancer. Probably a weak Servant with a godlike NP.
Roland or Charlemagne as Sabers.
El Cid as Saber (dual wielding Colada and Tizona) or Rider (coming back from the dead for a last battle)
Napoleon and Gengis Khan as Riders, and Odysseus as Archer. Weird they haven't showed up, same as Guan Yu as Lancer.
Samson as Berserker. With Biblical characters being wanked so much, Samson would be awesome.
Hattori Hanzo as Assassin. We need more ninjas.
And more actual mages as Casters please. We still don't have Morgan Le Fay or Circe, and had to wait for a mobile game for Solomon and Merlin
>>159285078
This
Esfandiyār would fit in with Fate, as he has similar skills to heroes in Fate.
>The armor made him invincible and the chain had the power to bind anyone, even a demon or evil magician, making them unable to escape. Zartosht also gave a Divine blessing to the prince and declared that anyone who would spill the blood of Esfandiyār (killed him) shall suffer a cursed life of bad omens until the day he dies and even after death would be condemned to hell.
I had never heard of him before, but Wikipedia has a decent list of epic heroes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_culture_heroes

Caesar in his preferred class when?
Switzerland is neutral no longer. The Archer with who hated authority so much he refused to bow to a hat and chased a tyrant across the country just to murder his ass.
Noble Phantasm: Gessler's Cruel Punishment.
>Two crossbow bolts are drawn. The first, when fired, has the property of always being aimed correctly no matter the range or obstacle. If it hits its mark, the second bolt vanishes. If it should miss, be blocked or be avoided, the second blot gains the property of causing certain destruction to whatever it hits.
