Fate Fanservant: Bruce Cipher, the Master with a Mystical Worldview
Alright! It’s time! This! Is my BIG! FUCKING THING! (/ref, /pos)
Content warning for the song “Abnormality Dancing Girl,” repetition, anger caps, unreality, and mentions of blood under the cut.
Ascension Stages
Stage 1: A young, unassuming AFAB person, aside from the eyes with +-shaped pupils and cyan sclera. They have rosy skin and a dirty blonde bob cut, and are wearing black pants and a blue long-sleeved shirt with black stripes. They looks unsure of themself.
Stage 2: Bruce’s teeth have turned sharp and silver, and the Foreigner has sprouted three tails, each ending with a heart of a different color (cyan, lavender, and magenta). Bruce now wears a dark blue dress shirt with a black tie, a long blue trench coat with silver streaks, black gloves, and black knee-high boots with heels. Bruce is beaming with pride.
Stage 3: Bruce’s skin has turned light blue and their hair purple. The hair now flares out further and curls inward. Bruce’s gloves have turned into black goop crawling up the Foreigner’s arms. Bruce now wears a blue leotard with dark blue fishnet tights and a giant dark grey feather boa. The Foreigner looks down on the viewer sternly.
Final Ascension: Bruce is propped up on one knee, holding themself up with a giant pair of scissors (not the ones you’re probably thinking of, though). The Foreigner looks exhausted and enraged, with blood dripping down the right side of their face (the viewer’s left-hand side). Their character art is split in two, with the left-hand side using their second ascension design and the right-hand side using the design from Stage 3.
Theme
Traits
Class: Foreigner
Alternate Classes: Caster, Avenger, Berserker
Region: North America
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Attribute: Earth
Voice actor: Yamashita Daiki
Deck: QAABB
Parameters
Strength: E++
Endurance: [TBD]
Agility: D++
Mana: A+
Luck: B+++
Noble Phantasm: D++
Passive Skills
Identity Derived From Empowerment (Rankless):
I don’t have a fancy in-universe explanation for this one. I just wanted to make Bruce’s genderfluidity a gameplay mechanic.
(FGO Effect):
Change Gender trait at the beginning of each turn after the first, based on the following criteria:
Male: number of buffs greater than number of debuffs
Female: number of debuffs greater than number of buffs
Genderless (default for first turn and outside of battle): number of buffs equal to number of debuffs
Existence Outside the Domain D+:
Due to the nature of the Mystic Eyes of Story Perception, Bruce essentially lives with another layer of reality affecting their vision. As the Mystic Eyes are inherent to Bruce’s Spirit Origin, they would still have Foreigner traits, including this skill, if summoned in another class. However, being put in the class has boosted this skill’s rank from D to D+.
(FGO Effect):
Gain 2 critical stars every turn.
Increase own debuff resistance by 5%.
Active Skills
Mystic Eyes of Story Perception EX:
A trait that allows one to see “the universe’s plans for a narrative.” If the current course of events is projected down a path that can be considered a “story,” Bruce can see how that story is expected to play out, as well as vital information about the “characters” therein. This allows Bruce to discern most Servants’ True Names, Active Skills, and major Noble Phantasms.
(FGO Effect):
Chance to inflict Skill Seal for two turns.
Chance to inflict Noble Phantasm Seal for two turns.
Supporting Curse (Faust) A+:
Bruce’s experience as a parallel Master of Chaldea is intrinsically tied to the Heroic Spirit Mephistopheles, who was by their side throughout the entire ordeal. This has severely affected Bruce’s manifestation as a Servant, although the Foreigner wouldn’t have it any other way. Tails, fighting with scissors… and as for this skill in particular, it is a manifestation of one of Mephisto’s own skills, albeit diluted. With this skill, Bruce essentially channels Mephistopheles’ Impotent Rage skill.
(FGO Effect):
Decrease attack for one enemy for two turns.
Decrease defense for one enemy for two turns.
[Third Active Skill (Rank)]:
I haven’t been able to come up with anything yet, lol.
Noble Phantasm
Fetta Finale - Final Slice
Rank: D++
Maximum Targets: 1
Range: [TBD]
Classification: Anti-Unit (Evil)
Type: Buster
A simple Noble Phantasm. Bruce’s scissors grow to seven feet long, and the Foreigner sticks them through their opponent, opening the scissors to tear up the enemy's body and maximize damage. The similarity between Fetta Finale and Mephistopheles’ normal attacks allows Bruce to imbue the scissors with curse-based magic.
“You think the name is cool, right? …Right???”
(FGO Effect):
Inflict special damage to one “Evil” enemy.
Chance to inflict Death to one “Human” enemy.
Inflict Curse on one enemy for five turns.

Likes: "What I like, hmmmmm... Four words: body. Horror. Power fantasies! Extra eyes, limbs, claws bigger than your head! And tentacles, tentacles especially! ...It makes me glad I was summoned as a Foreigner over anything else, haha!"
Dislikes: “What do I hate? Hmmmmmm… washing dishes. You ever touched wet food before, Master? I’m sure everyone has… It is the worst sensory experience in the world. If it weren’t for the environmental damage, I’d use disposable plates whenever I could!”
About the Holy Grail: “Yeah, yeah? The Holy Grail? I dunno, I’m pretty averse to wish stories… King Midas and stuff like that. But I did use it once when I was alive! …Eh? You wanna know what for? Alright, I’ll tell you. The Mystic Eyes sometimes show me… horrible things. I saw all of my Chaldea shoved inside a suitcase and… I couldn’t bear to see that happen to my beloved. So I used the Holy Grail for my one wish: to protect Mephistopheles from the events of our ‘story!!’”
During an Event: “Oh, yeah? Hey, Master. The Mystic Eyes' a're telling me that something important’s going down. …okay, yeah, I lied. It’s just my intuition. Regardless, you should go check that shit out.”
Birthday: “Happy birthday, Master! …I tried to make you a drawing, but it probably isn’t very good… do you wanna see?”
Profile
Default:
A Master from “another” Chaldea. Boasting incredible magical prowess and the Mystic Eyes of Story Perception, this Foreigner’s power is derived not from any extradimensional entity, but from their ability to view “the path of the world.”
Bond Level 1:
Height/Weight: 165cm • 71 kg
Source: ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️
Region: North America
Alignment: Chaotic • Balanced
Gender: Fluid, chaos
They insist that they are an evil demon who wants to destroy everything, but they care about humanity just as much as their Master. Just roll with it.
Bond Level 2:
This alternate being who took on the title of “Humanity’s Last Master” was closest of all with the Caster Mephistopheles. The two of them worked together throughout each Singularity, minute or catastrophic.
Two demons, one who saw the worst in themself, and one who pulled them through even the toughest of times.
“This pedestal… this beautiful pedestal built from love… its height is infinite.”
Bond Level 3:
Mystic Eyes of Story Perception: EX
A supernatural gift that lets Bruce see “the framework of the world’s current story.” If their current situation seems to be heading down the path of an interesting tale, they can foresee the expected chain of events with incredible accuracy. This also allows them to analyze the story’s “characters.” Since their current objective is fighting alongside their Master, the Foreigner can use this skill to determine hidden information about other Servants, such as their True Names and the effects of their Noble Phantasms. The only way for a “character” to be immune to the Mystic Eyes would be by possessing a skill such as Presence Concealment at a higher rank, but since multiple factors have boosted the Eyes’ rank to EX, this is effectively impossible.
It should be noted, however, that sufficiently derailing the “story” will cause the Mystic Eyes to stop working.
