31DOD Day 3 (Day 24)
I don't really have another universe I want Dick Grayson in permanently so I'm wrapping back to day 3!
I think headcanons are best when they feel like they belong in the original canon so I'm going to put in some things that I think are fun:
Dick Grayson was born slightly early in a train car somewhere in rural France. Mary Grayson barely realized she was in labor and then the next moment there was a baby in the train car. After the initial shock of seeing Mary covered in blood and sweat, everyone celebrated the new baby (while getting the new parents and baby to the closest doctor).
He was granted dual citizenship in France and the US because of this (at least until 18).
He thought of moving to France while he was on the outs as a teenager with Bruce and between Robin and Nightwing. The Titans talked him out of it.
I don't think dick is one for labels, he just is what he is, but he is definitely not straight. He has said before that "he can't make love to someone he doesn't truly love" (approximately) and I think that is the best definition for him. He loves the people he cares about deeply and in different unique ways and that's all that matters.
I like to think that something about Dick is like catnip for cults. He has a pretty funny history with them for no particular reason. My idea is that he has some sort of cosmic curse for it. He's got the Church of Blood, Court of Owls, and the Nazi cult behind Spyral all saw it fit to manipulate him into joining their ranks. Then there is stuff that isn't technically canon like the vampires thinking he's the best thing since sliced bread and cult of the cobra in yj. There is just so many cults in this boys life.
Dick was once sent to the US Olympic qualifiers for an undercover mission as a teenager. Even though he is completely human, he feels like it would be unfair if won and he was feeling guilty about racking up so many points. In the final round, he decided to throw his chances at going all the way and did an illegal move. He definitely had the most impressive showing, but the penalty kept him from moving forward. Clark, Bruce, and Alfred, who were watching, were hoping he would win and while they supported his choice, were secretly disappointed he didn't win.
Because Dick speaks so many languages he can speak to all of the local restaurant owners in their native languages. They love him so much that they are always giving him free food like extra sides of dumplings or falafel (he tips super high to make up for it). Whenever the Titans want to get takeout, they always drag him to pick it up because they know the restaurant owners love him.
Dick has few favorite books and movies. He has a hard time getting into new things because he is so busy. But he will always love having Alice in Wonderland, Robin Hood, The Little Prince, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea read to him. There wasn't much space for things like books in the Circus so his parents would always read him one of the two. Since they were a multilingual community, their version of The Little Prince was in the original French. Because of this, when Dick does read new things he likes to read them in the original language if he can.

Who would be some bronze Sabers? Lesser knights of the round table? Some of Charlemagne’s peers? Yet more esoteric samurai?
Well, I don’t really get how the rarity system works, because it does seem pretty arbitrary, and it does seem like they want to protect the saber niche as “the best class by inflating its rarity.
But, if you gave me the chance to make some bronze sabers, here’s who’d they be:
Richard the Lionheart (Fate/Strange Fake) **
Tumblr media
One of our canon Sabers, Richard the Lionheart would be a Fake Artoria. Canonically, he has a pseudo-Exalibur (so AOE damage) and his skills are:
Lionheart (Rank A): which would basically be a Charisma + Mental Debuff Resistance.
Talented in Every Field (Rank A): which sounds like either Imperial Privilege or Eternal Arms Mastery.
Godspeed (Rank A): A massive Agility buff, which would likely translate to a Quick and/or Critical hit/or possibilty Star gathering buff.
Overall, he sounds like he’d be a Budget Okita with some Berserker Lancelot features, which, holy shit I want that
QQAAB/NPQ deck.
Senji Muramasa *
Tumblr media
He’s got to come sometime, and shouldn’t be at a high rarity due to all of his complaining about not even qualifying as a servant.
He should work with his source CE, so he’ll have two Busters, but there’s enough of the Craftsman and and Emiya in there to give him two arts Cards. He canonically has Territory Creation and Item Creation.
He’s a support Saber. I’d start him off with an Evade skill (he consistently dodged Lancer Purgatorio’s attacks, and needs survivability for this low rarity), a party-wide Arts and Buster card boost, and a version of Edison’s Concept Improvement with an HP loss demerit, based on his ability to forge amazing blades that hurt their owners. His NP would be Myoujingiri Muramasa, a massive party wide attack buff that also has a defensive debuff.
Basically, he turns your party into glass cannons. Pair him with Nightengale and another Berserker for FUN
El Cid **
I used this figure as a saber in a FATE system game I ran, and I think he fits. The weilder of the famous swords Tizona and Colada, he has Charisma, Disengage, and Guts, signifying his battle prowess and his famous post-mortem ride. He seems like another candidate for a Quick-based, single target NP Saber; there’s a lot of Lancer Cu here.
He’s a famous historical hero, but not actually someone with any supernatural feats and relatively recent in history (so very little mystery), qualifying him as a lower rarity Saber.
Skanderbeg *
Tumblr media
Albania represent, let’s get this motherfuckin bunker blazin
Skanderberg was a 15th century hostage of the Ottoman court, contemporary with Vlad the Impailer, who rebelled against his masters and fought a guerilla war against...well, everybody, since living in the Balkans is like being in a telephone booth with seven other guys with boxcutters and there’s a sultan outside aiming a cannon at you all.
A master of feint attacks, surviving horrific sieges, overcoming the odds, and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, I’m seeing a skillset that grants Guts, Disengage, and team-wide Defensive Buffs. Almost thinking of Boudicca...but good...with a touch of Danzo. Buster Mash, maybe? Thematically, he’d play very well with fellow rebel Spartacus.
Historically, he is known as a massive man with a huge build, capable of accurately swinging a two-handed sword, one handed, with a shield on horseback, by many accurate eyewitness reports, so let’s go with “anime Eliza Dushku” for his look.
You know, Buffy season 3 Eliza Dushku.
Low rarity because, while he’s THE Albanian hero and a certified badass, he’s not well known elsewhere, and is relatively recent with little mystery (unlike Vlad, who is a cornerstone of vampire mythology).
Lê Lợi **
Tumblr media
It’s your boy, Le Loi. A Vietnamese aristocrat who led a ten-year revolt against the Ming Empire and went on to lead the nation as the first emperor of the Lê dynasty. The Dragon King gave him a sword called Heaven’s Will (Thuận Thiên), which he had to assemble after some Herculean Fetch Quest bullshit, and when it was all over, he had to throw it back to the Lady, er, Dragon of the Lake.
Out of all of the sabers here, he is the most Saber. I’m having a hard time not just going with stock leader ideas like Military Privilege, Tactics, Charisma, Disengage, but low level Knight-class characters are like that sometimes. He should also have a great riding skill, as he fucked around on a badass dragon boat and hung out with a giant turtle with a golden shell which is 100% going to show up in his Extra Attack animations. I just want this guy to be OP for his level. Do not underestimate Vietnam.
Shikhandi *
The Mahabharata heroes are some of my favorite, and this character is ripe for a Fate version. Badass warrior! Died in a climatic sword fight with Ashwatthama! GENDER AMBIGUITY.
Unfortunately, their legend is rather hard to actually draw out a mechanical design. They would definitely have Morph and Innocent Monster, as this character has multiple versions and changes based on where in Southeast Asia you go.
Sang Sapurba **
Sri Maharaja Sang Sapurba Paduka Sri Trimurti Tri Buana, the claimed ancestor of  multiple Malay dynasties. Rider of the white bull. Wielder of the Cura Si Manjakini, the sword of sovereignty, allegedly bequeathed to him by his ancestor, ALEXANDER THE GREAT. He is also, in other cultures, associated with those cool wavy kris blades.
OK, so skill set, whatever, let’s make him budget Saber Iskander. What’s important here is that I want his skill and attack animations to be based on Wayang kulit shadow puppetry.
Tumblr media
William Wallace *
Another hero with a famous sword, with plenty of popularity but low mystery, William Wallace would make a fantastic saber with a defensive, tanky skill set, recalling the famous Battle at Stirling Bridge. One interesting tid-bit is that that one thing that frequently screwed over Wallace with the English employment of Welsh mercenary bowmen, which perfectly mimicks the class triangle.
One thing I’d really like to see is more complicated passive abilities; I’d give Wallace either a passive (or a skill, sure) that gave his allies a buff when he left the field, mimicking his legacy and continuation via Robert the Bruce and other Scottish heroes. There are CEs that do this, of course, but it would be cool to see it baked into the character.
Another big burly dude, described as a “tall man with the body of a giant,” so make him a 150CM-TALL GINGER SABERFACE
Tumblr media
Gebre Mesqel *
Also known as Amda Seyon I, King Gebre Mesqel is one of the most successful campaigners in Ethiopian history, a defender of the Copts. He claims descent from Solomon and Queen Sheba, which would be fun to see in an interlude. Not gonna lie, I mostly wanted a saber known for shotels.
Stock leadership skills, but also a Shotel based debuff skill that cuts an enemy’s defense and destroys their crit star gathering rate (as a counter to “Riding”).
One star; he’s a badass hero, but very obscure.
Ogier the Dane*
I’m a little bummed that one of the coolest legend cycles is represented solely by Astrolfo and Astrolfo with Bunny Ears. But Roland and Charlemagne feel like they’re up in that 4-5 Star territory. Huge figures. However, Ogier the Dane would be cool as a low rarity rep.
Thanks to Halo, his sword is very well known: Cortana, and would make a great NP.
So one thing I’d do with Ogier, is that part of his legend is the “sleeping hero/king under the mountain” trope, similar to Arthur. My idea here is that he would have a skill that replenishes his other skills cooldowns but causes an immediate forced order change.
This would also play into his ferocity in single combat, as he would make an excellent soloer.
Tumblr media
Some other ideas rejected because they should be higher ranked: Theodoric the Great, Nanuk, Saladin. Kay, Olsa Big Knife.

Book Review
Tumblr media
The Rook. By Daniel O’Malley. New York: Back Bay Books, 2012.
Rating: 3/5 stars
Genre: urban fantasy, paranormal
Part of a Series? Yes, The Chequy Files #1
Summary: "The body you are wearing used to be mine." So begins the letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. With no recollection of who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions her former self left behind to discover her identity and track down the agents who want to destroy her. She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member of a secret organization called the Chequy that battles the many supernatural forces at work in Britain. She also discovers that she possesses a rare, potentially deadly supernatural ability of her own. In her quest to uncover which member of the Chequy betrayed her and why, Myfanwy encounters a person with four bodies, an aristocratic woman who can enter her dreams, a secret training facility where children are transformed into deadly fighters, and a conspiracy more vast than she ever could have imagined.
***Full review under the cut.***
Content/Trigger Warnings: violence, blood, body horror
Overview: I can’t quite remember how this book fell under my radar, but it seemed like an interesting premise, so I gave it a go. Initially, it started out as a 4 star read for me - I liked the humor, the worldbuilding, and the dynamics between the main character’s pre- and post-amnesia self. Over time, however, this dropped to a three star, mostly because I felt like the tone never changed to fit the gravity of the situation, and the mystery in general was somewhat of a letdown. Still, I think that anyone who liked more light-hearted fantasy or dark humor might enjoy this book, so I recommend reading it for yourself if you’re not into grimdark supernatural worlds.
Writing: O’Malley’s prose is fitting for the type of book he’s trying to write. It’s fairly economical, and focuses more on evoking a humorous, snarky tone than an eerie atmosphere. While some may enjoy the humor and snark, I personally found it to be a double edged sword: I liked that O’Malley kept the mood light and avoided reveling in the darker aspects of his fantasy world, but I also don’t think emotionally heavy moments were given enough weight. Characters would crack jokes or be snarky at inappropriate times, often in ways that sabotaged their own goals, and it seemed like O’Malley was trying to make scenes more awkward or funny than was plausible.
I also think there were some throw-away lines or scenes that really showcased that this book was a man writing about a woman. It wasn’t so bad that it made me want to put the book down (I don’t think O’Malley was being sexist or anything, more like he was trying to be funny and the joke just didn’t land for me), it was annoying to read about Myfanwy thinking about her breasts, or about an invasive gynocological exam (even if one made sense in context, I didn’t need to be reminded that doctors were poking around in Myfanwy’s vagina).
I do think that O’Malley made a good decision by having a lot of his infodumps take the form of a letter or “encyclopedia entry.” Pre-amnesia Myfanwy writes letters and explanations of her job, her colleagues, etc. to help post-amnesia Myfanwy make sense of the supernatural world around her. Though I sometimes found reading all these texts to be exhausting, I do think that if an author is going to provide so much background information, he/she/they should do so in an interesting way that makes sense in context. The letters and entries, in my opinion, made sense in the context of the narrative, and O’Malley also made the task of writing all those things feel like something pre-amnesia Myfanwy would do.
Plot: The main plot follows Myfanwy Thomas, an administrator of sorts who loses her memory while investigating the return of her employer’s major supernatural enemy and its infiltration into their ranks. I really liked the idea of a post-amnesiac trying to pick up the pieces of her old life while keeping her amnesia under wraps just in case those closest to her are traitors, and I liked that readers able to learn about the world along with the main character.
However, I do think that not enough suspense or urgency was placed on the plot. Myfanwy didn’t seem to be in a rush to find out who had erased her memories and who tried to kill her, and scenes didn’t necessarily build on one another in a way that felt like a mystery was unfolding. For example, Myfanwy uncovers one traitor seemingly by accident, and doesn’t really bother to press them for more information when they let slip that there’s more to uncover. I wanted to follow Myfanwy as she uncovered more and more clues, but it seemed like a lot of things were happening at random until the end, when she solves the mystery and we get several pages of monologue that explains how everything happened behind the scenes (rather than on the page). I was kind of let down, to be honest, because I didn’t feel like I was being given the opportunity to guess what was going on myself.
I also wish a little more had been done with the letters past-Myfanwy wrote to present-Myfanwy. There was a sweetness to them, as past-Myfanwy seems to have great sympathy for her future self and expresses a lot of fear regarding what’s going to happen. But mostly, the letters served as infodumps, and I wish they had been used - at least sometimes - to spur some emotional growth in present-Myfanwy, or had mirrored what was going on in the present day more closely.
I also wish there had been a little more drama at the Chequy - the supernatural organization where Myfanwy works. Post-amnesia Myfanwy seems to be able to walk in and play her part with no one the wiser, which was a little implausible given that her personality is drastically different from before her amnesia and she’s so awkward that it was a wonder no one suspected something was amiss. I wanted to be a little more concerned that someone would figure out that Myfanwy was without her memory, and that it posed a threat to Myfanwy’s life. Instead, that never seemed to be an issue, just a pretense for a lot of awkwardness.
Characters: Myfanwy, our heroine, is essentially two different people before and after her amnesia. Pre-amnesia Myfanwy is shy, quiet, and something of a Type A personality who never uses her supernatural abilities unless it’s an emergency. Post-amnesia Myfanwy is assertive, snarky, and uses her abilities more liberally. Both, however, are extremely good at managing teams and keeping track of mountains of administrative paperwork. I liked that O’Malley turned “administration” into a useful skill - I feel like too often, female characters are only seen as useful if they can fight, and while Myfanwy does some of that, she also makes clear that it is her administrative abilities that make the difference in all kinds of situations. I do wish Myfanwy’s wisecracking was turned down a little, though, as it seemed to be inappropriate at times. I also wish Myfanwy had undergone more character development; she doesn’t change much over the course of the novel, except to realize that she likes her job. I wanted a little more out of her, not just a wisecracking boss who can take charge of a situation before stumbling her way through a fairly simple investigation.
The most interesting characters, at least for me, were the other members of the Chequy. The Chequy is run by a “Court,” which is made up of highly ranked officials with supernatural powers. I liked the creativity that O’Malley showed when designing them - Gestalt is a single consciousness in 4 bodies, Aldrich is a vampire, Eckhart is a chain-smoking military veteran who can control metal, etc. I do wish more was done with these characters to make their motivations more clear or more important to the overall narrative, and I wish they were a little more intelligent (they never suspect anything is amiss with Myfanwy, and even they can’t figure out anything useful about their enemy, despite Myfanwy practically stumbling onto information at random).
Myfanwy does have some female friends that I think could have been more interesting. Ingrid, her personal assistant, is something of a confidant, and I wish more had been done with that relationship to explore things like the tension between powered and non-powered people in the Chequy. Shantay, an official from the American branch of the Chequy, also had a lot of potential, and I liked that she and Myfanwy became fast friends (though I do think they dropped their professionalism a little too quickly). I wish Shantay had stuck around longer, perhaps to balance out Myfanwy’s flaws and shortcomings. Bronwyn, Myfanwy’s sister, should have been more important than she was. Bronwyn tracks down her sister after living her entire life knowing that the government took her away, and I think there’s a devotedness in that that wasn’t fully taken advantage of. The sisters’ reunion wasn’t very emotional, and Bronwyn mainly acted as a liability for when Myfanwy was threatened by her enemies.
Speaking of which, the big bad of the book - a group called the Grafters - were hardly impressive. While I liked the idea of the Chequy going up against people who could alter bodies and create monsters that resisted supernatural powers, the Grafters seemed to be invisible for most of the book, never showing themselves but sending agents to do their dirty work. I never really understood what the Grafters wanted or why they were doing things, so they felt less like a threat and more like a simple bad group of people that does bad things.
TL;DR: The Rook has an interesting premise and some creative worldbuilding, but ultimately suffers from a lack of a driving plot and too much concern with its own cleverness.

OC Character Sheet
2020 UPDATE
Setting: distant future post-post-apocalypse. Tired of the humans ravaging the earth many monsters and magical creatures rose up and took control of the planet to save it. Centuries later, some humans adapted and live side by side with the new supernatural neighbors, but most that survived still live separately in isolated city-states. Times however are threatening to change once again.
Notable Character List
Thaddeus Varni: main character. His mother was elected governess of his human city-state of Waldrand (in modern Austria/Styria) so he’s lived about a good a life as a human could in this world albeit very sheltered and vaguely stressed. He was turned into a vampire accidentally when the city was attacked by the small vampire nation. Now as a monster he cannot return home, his goal now is to become human again and stop the vampire nation from attacking again. The attack also damaged his throat significantly, the bite left him mute and with a large scar. He’s very self conscious about the scar, and especially in the beginning he wears things like scarves or a poncho to cover his neck. He communicates at first with writing on notepads but eventually learns sign language. He goes from very stiff and proper to more loose and expressive as a result of learning sign. A grump with a heart of gold, just wants to sit in his vegetable garden tbh. Thaddeus can be hard to get to know but once you do become his friend he is willing to throw hands with anything for you. He’ll fight anything actually (especially if that thing is much bigger than he is, which is usually the case as he’s rather short and slight). Most likely to eat pizza with a knife and fork. He hates it when people call him Tad. As a vampire he has the ability to shapeshift (his form is a pine marten).
Shahrazad Zargari: An alchemist originally from a city in the Iraq region. Thaddeus meets her while she is telling stories in the street using alchemy to make and animate little figures to go along with her tales. They eventually end up traveling together as she knows the outside magical world much better. As an alchemist she was meant to be traveling the world from town to town to offer services and alchemical medicine but she found she likes telling stories and creating art with alchemy better. Her family doesn’t know about what she’s been doing while traveling and she hopes to keep it that way (such is the life of a liberal arts student). She has a talent for creating golem which she considers friends even if they are only friend shaped empty shells. Shahrazad’s an actual ray of sunshine, most likely to be a studio ghibli protag.
Feliz Guillermo Rivera: a spanish sailor, he lives on a small caravel boat/ house boat named La Foca. He spends most of his days fishing and playing music and movies obnoxiously loud much to the annoyance of whoever he’s docked next to. Feliz makes his living selling fish and offering ferry services on his boat which is how he meets Thaddeus and Shahrazad. He was human but ends up tragically turned into a vampire during their adventures. They all learn to manage it together. Feliz was left with the boat after his parents were killed by a sea monster attack. Because of this Feliz is very attached to the boat and still struggles going out into large open waters instead preferring to stay close to shore. He also developed OCD tendencies as he struggled to cope ie intrusive thoughts and compulsive tendencies to count items and double check things on the boat in an effort to maintain control. He’s learning to manage it better with things like music and jigsaw puzzles. Most likely to eat all the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms. He can play the guitar, ukulele, and the accordion. As a vampire he has the ability to shapeshift (his form is a seal).
Ramon and Concha: This bonded pair are the kobolds/ klabautermann that live with Feliz on the boat the La Foca. They have watched over the family’s boat since the time of Feliz’s grandparents. They consider themselves family, and these two watch over Feliz as if he were their own. As klabautermann they protect the boat, in fact they’re practically are a part of the boat really. Concha tends to help Feliz with the sails or steering. She also likes joining Feliz in his music making, playing the accordion, even though the thing is about the size of her torso. While Concha is very sweet like an old granny, Ramon is much more rough and gruff. He tends to help with the cooking and keeping the ship clean and tending to the mechanics. He likes to take the form of a fire on the stove to cook. 
Hugh Wesley: Hugh was a doctor who was bitten by a vampire he had been treating as a patient. He was chased out of town for being a vampire and spent many years adrift. He found peace with his condition and has been able to reintegrate into society again under the guise of being a normal shapeshifter. He does not have a medical practice anymore, although he’s always willing to provide aide. Instead he owns a flower shop, selling plants from his greenhouse in town. He’s surrounded himself with other vampires who have passed through, confused and lonely as he had been. Although many of the other vampires come and go, several stay, and together they all form a loose sort of coven. As a vampire, he has the ability to shapeshift, Hugh’s form is a black fox.
Ava and Theresa Baumann: They met at university in the UK when Ava was studying spirits and spirit magic while Theresa was a seamstress. The two fell absolutely head over heels about each other, and married. Unfortunately Ava died suddenly and Theresa could not cope. Using Ava’s research she scoured the knowledge she could trying to find a way to save Ava. This eventually led to her finding and beseeching to the Spirit of the Dead. Theresa was able to get the power of necromancy from this spirit ie giving life to the dead, however this did not work on Ava as hoped. Theresa was able to call enough soul energy from the ether to animate Ava’s decayed body and summon Ava’s soul to be present but she could not actually combine Ava’s soul and body since the connection had already been lost. So now Ava’s body is animated, mindless and basically a zombie while her soul lingers as a noncorporeal ghost. So the two can speak to and see each other again but of course it’s not ideal. They just try to manage as best they can, unsure what would happen if Theresa tried to send either Ava’s body or spirit away. The two now live in a secluded cottage surrounded by forest and a large garden. They’re Hugh’s best customers. They have a 30 year old orange cat named Purrsephone.
Antagonists:
Queen Athanasia: Queen of the vampire nation in what was once Greece/ the city of Delphi. Also known by other names like Athanasia the Deathless, or The Dragon, The Great Oracle. She became queen after she lead a coup against her own husband, the old vampire King Ambrose. She is revered for her strength, vision, and powers of fortune telling. She speaks almost exclusively through telepathy (just to flex tbh). She has lost one leg which she has fashioned a prosthetic made of brass with talons on the foot. Vicious and swift, she has high standards for vampires she lets into her society, values strength above all else. While the vampires have drained their own people and the very land of life, she has now taken it upon herself to start moving into new territory for more souls and to Make Vampires Great Again. What’s the point of being an evil queen without world domination anyway? As a vampire, her shapeshift is a barn owl. 
Jan Rostami: When the vampires first started running low on souls to devour, they started demanding sacrifices from villages nearby to the west. Jan, as a sickly unremarkable member of her distinguished family, was volunteered as sacrifice quickly. This broke Jan. When she was faced with the vampires she did not fight back or beg for her life. It surprised them that instead Jan was willing to die rather than live with the shame and disdain. Athanasia offered Jan a chance to be turned and join the vampire ranks instead. Jan’s first act as a vampire was leading the attack on her ungrateful village. She’s reveled in her new strength and Athanasia’s supposed ‘love’ ever since. Jan’s vampire shapeshift is a rabbit
Erik Draugur: Athanasia’s main general and a trusted advisor. Draugur is very tall and thin, almost skeletal looking. A very grave man, but truly comes alive while hunting. He has a tendency to loom about silently over people’s shoulders. Draugur is also the one to generally keep the other vampires in line, especially Jan, whom he has yet to trust since she joined the court. His vampire shapeshift is a pale gray horse. 
Abraham Ruthven: one of the oldest vampires in Athanasia’s court, he was an old Lord that did not want his wealth to outlive him so he allowed himself to be turned. He has not aged well, he looks more waxy and decrepit by the decade. What Abraham lacks in brains, he makes up for in being terribly vicious. He has his moments, which is why Athanasia has seen fit to keep him in the court as a long time advisor. His fangs come from his two front incisors, this gives him a bit of a hissing lisp. His vampire shapeshift is a bat.
