First FolioWP: When the Curtain Rises, the Applause Shall Be as Ten Thousand Thunders (開演の刻は来たれり、此処に万雷の喝采を, Kaien no Koku wa Kitareri, Koko ni Banrai no Kassai o?) is the Noble Phantasm of Shakespeare. The ultimate play that Shakespeare invokes. Depending on the circumstances, when invoked, the effects may vary.[2] It is a Noble Phantasm that doesn't deal any physical damage, but it is the worst possible thing to face for certain Heroic Spirits. Basically, there aren't any heroes who don't have some kind of guilty conscience.[3]
Regardless of friend or foe, he institutes the target group as characters in a drama of his making. Then on top of that, he confronts the target with a difficult challenge. To heroes, it would be their past regrets; to anti-heroes, it would be the moment they lost themselves.[4] Shakespeare can expose the traumas that everyone holds inside themselves, and by ridiculing or censuring them, he can completely break their hearts.[3] In regards to the target's life, it replays the scenes that mentally damages the target the most. In Shakespeare's words, it inflicts despair. A theater Noble Phantasm meant for Heroic Spirits' spirits;[2] a Noble Phantasm that closes the world, brings forth the script and forces the story along.[5] Also, from the curtain rising to the curtain call, the target cannot receive or deal physical damage.[2] The probability of being drowned and trapped within this Noble Phantasm is greater the more someone is confident of their physical strength. The only ones who can overcome this Noble Phantasm are those who can declare that they have not a single dirty stain on their lives. There are very few who can believe in something and have no regrets at all. If it's someone who can directly confront the trauma they hold, they might be able to somehow manage to overturn Shakespeare's piercing words. Though, when a Servant has had their heart broken by this Noble Phantasm, they receive the bad status of “absentmindedness”. In this state, they are completely defenseless, and as long as they don’t have a Noble Phantasm which automatically responds to malice, they can’t deal with any attack. This Noble Phantasm originates from the “first” book that was published as a collection of Shakespeare’s plays after his death. Therefore, Shakespeare himself did not directly participate in making it.[3]
The primary effect of First Folio is to "show a story" to someone by "setting a stage", where he will recreate places, events, and people from that person's life. The main purpose of this Noble Phantasm is to destroy the minds of his opponents by showing them images of their pasts while Shakespeare narrates their faults to them, leaving them both mentally and emotionally scarred. On its own, Shakespeare is only able to replicate individuals as he did when attempting to escape from Frankenstein whereby he created a replica of her creator that treated her with kindness rather than the revulsion he felt towards her in life, which threw her into an uncontrollable rage. With this level of power, the replica follows a script that Shakespeare specifies and is incapable of thinking or acting independently. When empowered by Semiramis' Hanging Gardens, he is able to replicate Jeanne d'Arc's entire life to her, including a replica of Gilles de Rais performing the many atrocities he had committed in life after the death of Jeanne. This replica of Gilles has some degree of independence and is capable of interacting with Jeanne and thinking on its own as the real Gilles would have done.[5]
An Anti-Heart Noble Phantasm that breaks the spirit of any and all great men.[2] Shakespeare describes First Folio as something that "changes the world, but it doesn't move the world."[5] It is a work that he was not able to write in life, and it is something that required a Command Spell so that he would not use it to write a tragedy about his Master, Shirou Kotomine. On its own, it cannot accomplish much, but Shirou believes that it can control the Greater Grail if combined with his own Noble Phantasms, Left Hand - Xanadu Matrix and Right Hand - Evil Eater.
Development[]
The original design for Fate/complete material IV is a tome that can alter or falsify the outcome of a phenomenon occurring within sight for a limited number of instances. While functionally useless in the face of an enemy that outclasses him in every attribute, it has a chance of inflicting death upon otherwise defeatable opponents if skillfully deployed. It is activated with the incantation "NON SANZ DROICT" ("Not Without Right"—the motto on Shakespeare's coat of arms).[6]
In the initial storyboarding of the Fate/Apocrypha novel, it had the power to rewind time, but since that didn't have much meaning in terms of the story’s development, the idea was discarded. The fact that a sorcerer might make an appearance in a work after the prototype "Fate/Apocrypha" also played a big part in the decision. Instead, what emerged was a graded-up version of “The Globe”.[3]

He is a legendary playwright of England -- gentlemanly and soft-spoken. Placing the importance of the Story above all else, he will lie and cheat and by any means conduct himself that he might witness the unfolding of a grand tale, beautiful beyond compare. Consequently, he tends to distance himself from mentality of the "participant," taking instead the perspective of an abstract, "Authorial" third person. His regard for others differs by individual, dependent on their qualification as a special existence, or "protagonist" -- he interacts with "normal humans" only in a shallow, dismissive manner; and expresses an extreme interest in "protagonists." In slight narcissism, he frequently drops such self-authored quotes as, "Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill." He's taken a liking to certain terminology from modern fiction, such as "Death-Flagging." Incidentally, there was an undocumented period of seven years in Shakespeare's lifetime ...

Legend
He is a poet and playwright (1564-1616) from the Elizabethan England. He is representative of authors of the western world, and still has a large influence over modern literature. He wrote too many masterpieces to list, but his four greatest tragedies rising above all others are "Othello", "Macbeth", "Hamlet" and "King Lear". His father was an affluent man in Stratford, but it is uncertain if Shakespeare received a higher education. There are many mysteries in his career, such as a gap of seven years. In his early days as a playwright, his productions revolved around comedy, then historical drama, before he changed his style for magnificent tragedy. At the same time, he also played as an actor in the underground, and he was the target of slander and derision from influential people.

Skills
- Enchant
The appendage of improved attributes and functionality to others their precious articles. Typically used to reinforce the battle capabilities of the Servant's Master, such that the Servant may act as an impartial observer and carefully document the Master's psychological state.
- Self-Preservation
Though he possesses no combat capabilities, so long as he preserves his Master's safety to the lowest possible degree, he maintains the skill to escape from nearly all harm -- meaning that he never engages any opponents himself. The Servant favours a "high risk, high return" tactic, where "returns" is related to the fruits of his observation.
Noble Phantasm
- The Globe: King's Men - Strength: Weak
Shakespeare's theatrical company, which was patronized by King James I. A Noble Phantasm that permits the Servant to accurately assume the aspect of another individual -- passing scrutiny while disguised even if he interacts with those to whom the personage he portrays is well-known. Used for purposes of social engineering.

劇作家
シェイクスピア
英国の伝説的な劇作家。物腰は柔らかで紳士的。物語至上主義を掲げており、ペテンやイカサマをしてでも最高の物語を目撃したいと思っている。そのため当事者感覚が薄く、視点が作家的。相手を値踏みし、平凡な人間は冷淡に扱い、逆に非凡な人物には不遜な質問を繰り返す。"死亡フラグ"などの現代風物語的言い回しが好み。ややナルシストで「罪から出た所行は、ただ罪によってのみ強力になる」など、セリフに自作を引用する。

伝説
エリザベス朝時代のイギリスの劇作家、詩人(1564年-1616年)。西洋世界を代表する作家であり、現代のあらゆる文芸作品に影響を与える。代表作は多すぎて書ききれないが、強いて挙げるなら四大悲劇と呼ばれる『オセロー』、『マクベス』、『ハムレット』、『リア王』がある。父親はストラトフォードの有力者だが、シェイクスピアが高等教育を受けたかどうかは諸説ある。他にも経歴に7年の空白があるなど、謎が多い。劇作家として初期は喜劇を中心に創作し、後に史劇、壮大な悲劇へとスタイルを変えていった。当時は胡散臭い職業とされていた役者としても活動しており、権威ある人々からは中傷や冷笑を受けていたらしい。
