Talk:Servant

It's, they cannot be affected by normal interference, not they are no interference to the world.

I'm sorry. You translated this completely wrong. The mana reference is that they can pass through "inorganic objects that aren't dense with mana". The mana reference has nothing to do with their energy requirements.


 * I have no idea why I went on decreasing and need for an adjective ;_; Thanks. If you notice other mistakes like that, I'll fix them ASAP. Byakko 15:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Assassin
From what I gather, was a historical figure and members of his group were called. Should the link perhaps be changed? --Koveras Alvane 10:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Change what? It's him indeed, but in Nasuverse version of Hassan i Sabbah, the name was passed down between the various leaders of the clan. There's something like, what, 17 or 18 different people with the same name. "Assassin" is always one of those 18 Hassans. The one in Fate/Zero is only one Hassan, but that particular Hassan has a crapton of different personnalities with different skills, and his Noble Phantasm allows him to give a body to each of these personnalities. So in the end, we know it's one of the Hassans, but it's still a little tough to pinpoint it, so it's just left as "one of the Hassans". Is it clearer ? What link do you want to change ?
 * Edit - er, I think you posted that question before I edited it. Well, I fixed it already earlier today :P (added the one we see in F/HA too) Byakko 23:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see now. ^^; Could you please edit the Assassin article to include your explanation, as well? --Koveras Alvane 23:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Berserker
Is Berserker's insanity in FSN a prerequisite of his class or just a consequence of Ilya's treatment of him? Wikipedia seems to contradict itself in this point... --Koveras Alvane 23:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The Mad Enhancement is an ability that can be applied to the Servant (it would seem both the Master and/or the Servant can chose to enable it). Ability restricted to the Berserker class. By default, it's not activated. Illya activates it herself on Herakles. Zero's Berserker seems to have chosen to activate it by himself... Well, I don't think it's said, but I don't know why/if Kariya would chose to use it permanently if he's already strong as he seems to be, considering it's eating him even faster.

 * Thank you. :) --Koveras Alvane 15:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Servant vs. Heroic Spirit
Other articles seem to differentiate strictly between the terms "Servant" and "Heroic Spirit", and as far as I gather, not all Heroic Spirits can become Servants and not all Servants are necessarily Heroic Spirits. Can this be reflected somewhere in this article? --Koveras Alvane 12:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Servants and Heroic Spirits are differentiated because Servants are Heroic Spirits, but Heroic Spirits aren't necessarily Servants.


 * Servants are ONLY for the Heaven's Feel. It's something that was *invented* by Makiri Zouken and Tohsaka Nagato.


 * Servants are always Heroic Spirits - as in, humans (or part-humans) that became legendary and are remembered by the common consciousness of humanity - Alaya. Note that Heroic Spirits are not necessarily "heroes" in the common meaning of it : Gilles de Rais is a crazy murderer yet he's a Heroic Spirit.


 * The Servant system always tap in the Throne of Heroes, hence always Heroic Spirits. Why, simply because souls normally disperse, and the Throne is the only place where you can actually find such souls :P


 * And so, as it goes, the very first line of the article says Servants are Heroic Spirits. And the article on Heroic Spirits does say the above - well, it doesn't clearly say they can be evil, but it does say that it's those who are remembered in legends and have accomplished miracles and so.


 * "Heroes are those who have achieved greatness. Regardless of the authenticity, they are supermen whose feats are firmly believed in and have been transmitted in legends." No more, no less. Oh well, I still added a specific paragraph for that in here. --Byakko 13:33, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
