User blog:Hawkeye2701/The Big Book of Servants

Hello all, I thought I'd take the time to compile a list of Facts about the Servant classes and the like in the Fate Franchise, I hope they are enlightening for all. For now, I think that's enough for general numbers, let's take a more in depth look. Unfortunately, as I type this, I find myself more than a little sleepy, so I'll leave it here for now and alter this file as more data comes in and ideas for factoids strike me.
 * To begin, across all the Fate media, there is a total of One Hundred Eighteen different Servants, not including those that repeat and those that share identity, but not design. This includes Servants featured in Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, Fate/Prototype, Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver, Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/strange fake, Fate/Extra, Fate/Extra CCC, Fate/Extra CCC Foxtail, Fate/Grand Order, Fate/School Life, Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya, Capsule Servant and Koha-ACE.
 * Of these, forty-five were designed for a contest for the spin off Fate/School Life while the remaining seventy-three servants originate from all across the Fate works, making Fate/School Life the biggest sole contributor to the list.
 * The most popular classes for new servants to appear in are Rider and Berserker, each containing ten servants.
 * The least popular classes for new servants are the Lancer and Archer classes with only eight servants per class. This is because authors tend to reuse fan favourites such as Gilgamesh and Cu Chulainn more for these classes than others.
 * The most frequented class in the original trilogy of Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is Assassin, with four unique servants known to have been summoned for it.
 * By comparison, the least frequented is Sabre, each itteration being taken by some variant of Arturia Pendragon.
 * Taking into account the Fate/School Life servants, despite their more comical origins, there have been servants from five of the seven continents, even including Antartica, but not South America or Australia.
 * Out of all the servants, eight remain unknown, their identities yet to be revealed. These are, the Foxtail Sabre, the Sabre, Rider and Caster from Fate/strange fake, the Lancer and Archer from Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver and the Berserker and Shieldr servants from Fate/Grand Order.
 * Amongst all the servants, there is only one who emanates uniquely from the Fate/Kaleid series, the Berserker, Thor.
 * The servant with the most appearances out of any is Gilgamesh, not counting the Male and Female variants of Arthur as one, coming in at a total of seven.
 * Of all the servants originally designed for the cancelled Fate/Apocrypha game, most were used in the creation of the light novels. Both Benkei and Kintoki, who were not, would eventually find use in the mobile game, Capsule Servant, and Kintoki again in the upcoming Fate/Grand Order. The only servants originally designed for the project but whom remain unused are David and Saint George. This is possibly due to fear that, as prominent figures in the Christian faith, their inclusion may create negative press.
