Editing Nasuverse (section)

=== Fate/Apocrypha ===
An alternate timeline spinoff where a mage from the Yggdmillennia family worked with the Nazis to steal the Greater Grail in Fuyuki during WW2, resulting in the 4th and 5th Grail Wars never occurring. Instead, when it came time for a new Holy Grail War, this mage arranged it so that all seven servants would be summoned by fellow mages from the Yggdmillennia family as a single united force and dared the Mage's Association to try to stop them (Black Faction). The grail, noticing that all the summoned servants had banded together in a breach of protocol, triggered a failsafe that allowed seven ''more'' servants to be summoned in opposition of the originals (Red Faction, [[/v/|no relation]]), with the intent for the war to dissolve into a fairly standard "last-man standing" grail war once the factions were broken up, to be overseen by an impartial Grail-aligned Ruler-class servant. Notable in that it featured two teams of seven Master-Servant pairs (one in each of the Seven classes to a side) and the new Ruler class. 

Though a potentially interesting take on the more "traditional" Grail War concept, this entry was generally panned by the community for the mediocre writing and is most notable for its introduction of more [[Skub|high-powerlevel Servants]], as well as an outpouring of weeaboo [[RAGE]] when Jeanne D'Arc, one of Fate's poster girls and a fan favorite, hooked up with a random [[Mary Sue]] homunculus named Sieg that nobody even liked in the first place.

Because there are ''fourteen'' Servants involved in this spinoff (not counting Jeanne, as she's supposed to be neutral), we had to cut this part down to a few of Servants of note, either because of oddities or [[Meme|memetic]] contributions;
*Saber of Red - Mordred. Just like her "father", Mordred is a genderbent version of her traditional interpretation. She and her master (a [[Awesome|bounty hunting necromancer who uses a shotgun that shoots fingers as slugshots]]) operate independently from the rest of the Red Faction and serve as the protagonists from their faction. She ''was'' supposed to remain male during development, but since she would have debuted alongside Astolfo below and putting one femboy too many, something had to give. F/GO finally lets her meet with dear old "dad" (multiple versions of her no less), to Artoria's disdain whether it was due to the whole shebang at Camlann or Mordred stealing things from the treasury again.
*Rider of Black - Astolfo. One of Charlemagne's Paladins and a complete [[/d/|trap]]. His master really likes to force herself on him, to his chagrin. Takes a liking to Sieg and helps him escape the Yggdmillenia manor. Astolfo's popularity is such that not only is he now the effective face for the term "femboy", he has all but erased the traditional character from the Matter of France from the face of the internet.
*Assassin of Red - Semiramis, The Wise Queen of Assyria. Is the loyal second in command of the Red Faction, having been summoned by Shirou Kotomine as his personal Servant. Her Noble Phantasm, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, is a literal flying fortress that functions as the Red Faction's base of operations. While Servants can be summoned in other Classes if their legends allow it, Semiramis is unique in that she's one of the few Servants who can genuinely [[Multiclass]] as is, both as an Assassin ''and'' a Caster in her case, which is a good thing for the Red Faction as their ''actual'' Caster, William Shakespeare himself, is completely useless both due to [[derp|bad storywriting]] and [[Lulz|personal choice]].

Other Characters:
*Sieg - A formerly nameless homunculus from the Black Faction who managed to escape from his stasis tube before being harvested. When attempting to stumble out of the complex, Astolfo takes pity on him and helps him escape. Ultimately, one of the masters from Yggdmillenia finds him and accidentally destroys his heart with a magically charged punch, prompting Saber of Black/Siegfried to transplant his own heart into the dying homunculus. This, naturally, grants him immediate strength and revitalizes Sieg, [[bullshit|altering his projected standard lifespan of 3 years to just under 100 and giving him the ability to transform into Siegfried for 3 minutes at the cost of a Command Spell]]. This character receives a fair amount of (justifiable) hate due to his non-existent personality and the sheer number of abilities and skills just ''piled'' on him simply from the virtue of being in the right place at the right time. Jeanne also inexplicably develops a crush on him halfway through the series.
*Jeanne d'Arc - Token Saber-face of the show (alongside Mordred), Jeanne is the Ruler-class servant summoned by the Grail to oversee the Great Grail War and as it's impartial judge which she... only kind of does. For the first half of the story she attempts to remain impartial and she does (temporarily) unite servants from both factions against a greater threat. But, between her growing  attachment for Sieg and revelations about Shirou Kotomine's true nature result in her effectively siding with the Black Faction.
*Shirou Kotomine - Despite his stage name, Shirou is not related to the Fate/Stay Night Shirou ''or'' Kotomine in any way. A representative of the Church and commander of the Red Faction, Shirou usurps control of all the Red Faction servants from their respective masters (except Mordred and her Master, due to them wisely suspecting Shirou having ulterior motives). Is effectively the main antagonist of Apocrypha. His ''true'' identity is Ruler Amakusa Shirou, rebel leader and the ''apocrypha''l patron saint of Japanese Catholics, summoned in lieu of Avenger during the third Grail War and managed to persist after it. That Shirou was summoned "first" also results in Jeanne's power taking a hit.

Fate/Apocrypha only "introduced" one new Servant Class, but since it was hinted at in previous entries, it is no less important;
*'''Ruler''': Rulers are an unusual class of servant that are typically supposed to serve as unbiased mediators on the Grail's behalf. Servants of this class tend to be extraordinarily strong willed or have particularly divine providence, usually from God Himself. As avatars of the Grail's authority, Ruler servants are granted full autonomy and their own selection of Command Spells in order to compel any and all Servants summoned by the Grail when they deem it necessary. In F/GO, their authority over the standard servant classes is represented by a near universal defensive advantage against all non-Extra or Berserker classes. They are also vulnerable to Avengers and have full advantage over Moon Cancer servants. This is generally balanced out by the relative Ruler servants not being particularly offensive in nature, but that doesn't stop some of them from becoming Critical-Hit monsters. Aside from Jeanne and Amakusa above, notable Ruler class servants include Saint Martha and [[what|Sherlock Holmes]].
