Saber (Arturia Pendragon) | Fate/Stay Night

[onceandfuturemascot]

Okay I am just sort of hopping in here on a wave of enthusiasm for this game but I've been looking for a game for this girl and I love the concept, soooo

CHARACTER: Saber/Arturia Pendragon/Artoria Pendragon/official spellings are inconsistent ok
CANON: Fate/Stay Night
BLURB: I'm just spitballing here, this is completely subject to change, but:

• Tentative name of Alice Penelope Drake, which shouldn't get too confusing unless even more Fate/Extras show up. Despite being the most British name I have ever come up with, she's actually local.
  
• 22 year old college student who still looks like fifteen because I can't resist jokes about not being able to get alcohol.
  
• History grad student at RU, overachiever. Any professor types need a TA? I can potentially change subject to suit that.
  
• Studious nerd, thinks the library is an acceptable place to hang out. Not AS stoic as canon, but still pretty socially awkward.
  
• Legitimately enjoys teaching and helping people out with school, though.
  
• Failure at sports, but keeps herself in shape for health reasons like any Very Responsible Adult.
  
• Probably adopted by an old guy who might or might not be Merlin? I'm bad at hashing out family situations actually so if anyone needs a tiny older sister type or adult daughter, let me know.
  
• Loves fairies, unicorns, magic, and Harry Potter crap but tries to ignore it because she is a Serious Adult And Needs To Be Taken Seriously.
  
• Still sleeps with a stuffed animal, though. Don't tell anyone.
  
• No job outside TAing. That's. That's enough.
  
• In general not really going for any horribly traumatic backstory stuff (that can come in when memory regains start happening). She was orphaned young enough to not remember her parents but [ambiguous circumstances idk], but was adopted by someone caring if weird. Unless anyone has ideas to change that for CR, like I said, family ideas are completely up in the air here.

LOOKING FOR: Teachers to study under/work for. Students to help out, especially other people in the humanities area, whether college students or high schoolers. Family! I could really enjoy getting in on someone else's family shenanigans. Extroverted people to make her do things other than study.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Honestly I just love bullshitting AU ideas so just having a conversation of any kind here is probably going to get me to app. Also pointers to good icons that aren't just game sprites would be fantastic, these are kinda placeholders.

[myboggartisthemoon]

I've got a more sciencey teacher as a thought here, but it'll ruin her love for Harry Potter crap...

[onceandfuturemascot]

I can definitely tweak things a bit, as stated, I'm pretty nebulous right now. And I'll definitely never say no to her hanging out with other British fantasy characters whether she works/studies under him or not.

[myboggartisthemoon]

Lord know she's the type of student he'd quite like.

[onceandfuturemascot]

Yes hi I never played Extra or CCC but they definitely need to meet somehow. Tutoring is definitely something she would do.

[invisiblytied]

Another possible teacher for her to work for/study under! Robin teaches military history and I imagine she'd probably at least try to gently nudge her into doing things besides study

[onceandfuturemascot]

That's closest to my original idea, and lady Robin's reincarnation strikes me as someone who lady King Arthur's reincarnation could stand to hang around. I think if we both app I'd really like to do that, yeah.

[scarlet_devil]

Want to sort of friends with a bratty French heiress?

[onceandfuturemascot]

I do. Saber's a little unsure. What's the French heiress do other than inherit?

[scarlet_devil]

She's a college girl who gets up to all sorts of things that catch her interest. Lately it's fencing. Oh, she's very much an extrovert and a busybody at that, and in her canon her best friend happens to be a studious nerd so that's a thing.

[onepunchwoman]

/looks at Mordred account
/looks at this
/looks at hands

why can I only app one at a time??

[onceandfuturemascot]

Actually that's a very good question but I assume it's for mod convenience and keeping game growth from being completely explosive.

Also do it later.

[clear_eyes]

They're in a different age group and Rachel/Rikka is in high school, but I talked about her taking some college courses elsewhere and maybe there's an opportunity there?

In any case I heard the siren's call of a fellow nerd and figured it would be worth throwing out XD;

[onceandfuturemascot]

They can be nerds who learn to beat the hell out of evil together.

[daemonized]

If she's interested in TA'ing for a law professor, Ardyn here can help with that!

[onceandfuturemascot]

Ooh, law's a good subject too, but I got an offer from someone in the history department. Thank you, though. She'll be around being helpful either way.

[strongestheart]

Unless there's a way to be helping her out at the high school level or other nerds connected to her bring her Alice's way, Mana Maya and Alice's circles might fall a bit outside each other, BUT: I feel like the mental image of Cure Heart and Saber beating down some fools is pretty rad.

[onceandfuturemascot]

I have a sneaking suspicion that she's going to end up hanging out with high schoolers as a "you guys need a fucking adult" measure regardless. Maybe she can join up. I mean, if Danny Phantom can be a Cure, anyone can.

[goldenhind]

but if you're drake and i'm drake who's steering the ship

[onceandfuturemascot]

probably some filthy Spaniard let's go steal it back.

Yeah I had this same exact thought but I couldn't think of a better way to do the dragon pun in English.

Speaking of which did you make this account just to make that comment?

[magusdeflowers]

a younger sister you say,

[onceandfuturemascot]

a weirdo to play straightman to, you say

[imperiumu]

Hi, I know this is a really late reply but-

I'm thinking of apping Nero. But I'm also seriously considering Mordred instead. If I do app Mordred, I'd really like some Arturia CR to start with!

I posted in the AUW thread, but here are my Mordred AU ideas:

- Student with a major crush on Arturia (Former Student President?) to the point of joining the same club and working really hard to be just as good as her. (She feels an unexplainable connection to Arturia and, being in her teenage years and not really considering it could be because she's a parallel universe twin daughter clone with father issues, assumes Arturia is her first true love.)
- OR, Student whose love confession got sorta turned down and she's really not taking it well.
- OR, Arturia's delinquent little sister/cousin who loves back-alley fighting, MMA and the video game arcade. Possibly living under the same roof because family? On "annoying big sis who I still love kinda but don't make me say that" terms, at least until the regains start happening. (Or maybe Arturia regains her memories before Mordred does...)

[onceandfuturemascot]

Hey there, and may I say you have an excellent taste in faces.

Just for full disclosure, I have had friends mention the possibilities of both Mordred and Nero, but neither was looking at apping either first round, so I think both are open possibilities.

Between the three choices, I think the third makes the most sense for Mordred. Keeping a family connection of some sort, basically.
