Character name: Astolfo
Character canon: Fate/Apocrypha
Canon point: S02 E01, after Celenike’s death.
Physical Description: [Image link] he’s 5’3”, has no definite age but is an adult.
About the Character: In life, Astolfo was one of the 12 Paladins of Charlemagne, and in this time he went on many adventures, collecting various treasures and weapons such as his lance, horn, and prized hippogriff, even venturing to the moon in order to restore reason and sanity to his fellow paladin Roland. With a competitive streak,he participated in many jousting tournaments, often losing until he “borrowed” (stole) the Trap of Argalia, which won him many battles due to its ability to cause anyone who touched its golden tip to fall. Famed in his legends as “weak”, he was subject to many failures and defeats, but he never faltered in spite of this.
After his death, he became a heroic spirit and was summoned in the Great Holy Grail War, to a master, Celenike, whom he disliked and that grew to detest his tendency to follow his heart and do as he pleases- regardless of whether it would benefit his side or not. He betrayed his master in assisting a homunculus boy to escape his fate of being used as a living, magical battery and encouraged him to go out and live his life, believing that this was the right thing for him to do. Astolfo watched as his comrade Siegfried sacrificed himself to save the homunculus, and took responsibility for the affair, proud of his actions. Celenike tortures Astolfo for his disobedience, and he continues to fight for her until he encounters the homunculus, now calling himself Sieg, on the battlefield. Celenike orders Astolfo to kill Sieg, using magic to force his actions despite his protests against it. He only avoids killing Sieg by the intervention of a third party, who decapitates Celenike. Without a master, Astolfo has limited time left of being alive, and this is where his canonpoint picks him up.
Astolfo himself is eternally optimistic, almost infectiously so. He takes his (many) failures in stride (barely recognising them as such), and approaches problems head on without much prior thought, acting impulsively because he places value in what his heart decides. As a result, he has little in the way of regrets. He follows his own path, and it is one that goes in whatever direction he decides on the spot. Famously lacking in sense, he can be careless especially in matters of secrecy; he’s a huge blabbermouth and loves to talk (mostly about himself). He can be very dramatic, always giving himself a grand introduction to new people, delivering speeches whilst posturing before a fight. Despite this, he’s not overly fond of combat. He will fight if he needs to but doesn’t seek it out, or enjoy it as anything more than a show to put on.
When out of combat, Astolfo loves to wander about and enjoy the pleasures of life with a curious nature about everything. Even though he doesn’t need to eat he enjoys indulging in sweet treats just for the enjoyment of the taste. He loves cute things, which is reflected in his fashion sense. He lives wholly in the moment with little thought for the future, so he is most motivated when working to help out someone he cares about no matter how fruitless it may be (an example is when helping out Sieg, not knowing how much he can realistically do for him he states “I’ll keep helping him until I stop”). He doesn’t get along well with people who are arrogant, selfish, and callous.
He admittedly lacks restraint (something he seems to be proud of, if anything) and can easily be annoying to the wrong people (another thing he takes in stride, claiming to be pretty good at annoying people). He has little regard for personal space or privacy, which means his conversations have the tendency to veer into awkwardness.
Astolfo is one to stubbornly hold onto the values he holds dear to his heart, and will refuse to do things that conflict with them regardless of the consequences of such. His alignment falls under “Chaotic Good”.
Character abilities: As a servant he has higher stamina/strength than a regular human, and relies on magical energy for survival/strength rather than food & drink.
He can manifest his noble phantasms (weapons & hippogriff) from a spiritual form so that they needn’t be carried around constantly. His horn emits a sound that slams enemies with the force of it, and his grimoire has anti-magic capabilities (that he can only use when the moon is out, because he forgets its true name without it). His hippogriff unsettles reality, which allows him to phase through space/attacks in very short bursts (I’d imagine the summoning/use of his hippogriff would probably be nerfed/removed, or just incredibly unwise to use in the setting.)
He can detect magic users & other servants, and they likewise would be able to detect him.
He has the ability to shift into a spirit form where he is invisible & intangible to conserve energy, but he greatly dislikes doing this because he likes assuming a human form.
Inventory: His outfit/armor, a hunting horn “La Black Luna”, a golden lance “Trap of Argalia”, a grimoire “Casseur De Logistille”.
