Charlie Gacha[edit]
So, I just had to pull that one. Didn't get him, but got Roland and his twin brother (read: dupe) instead (I think that makes 12 4 star sabers in total now?). So, he introduces himself by saying that he's good at stripping and from the moment that I'm okay with it, he's going to take off all his clothes. Like I know he's one of his Paladins like Astolfo, but how much influence has Astolfo had on Charlie and his 12 Paladins? Because I could see Astolfo doing that aswell and I have finished Agartha so I KNOW he'd do this. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 17:16, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Roland is introduced in Traum, and you'll understand him better once you've finished that chapter.

- What Duce says about Rolands deal in specific. The one thing I'd add is that Charlemagne and his 12 Paladins in Fate are the polar opposite of the Knights of the Round Table. The way Nasu has written the KotRT has always been with the undertone that much of it was an inevitable tragedy. They were heroes, but even though they saved many damsels, slew many great evils, the reality is that Britain was destined to fall. stay night reinforces this over and over - Artoria couldn't have done anything about how things ended. Being a knight was ultimately just a sad affair that most of the Round Table would rather not look back on and all of them are utterly wrecked by the situation surrounding the battle of Camlann (remember Camelot singularity and just how much grief all the Round Table knights in there had). Charlie and his paladins, starting with Astolfo's debut in Apocrypha, are a direct counterargument to that: they were heroes and they went on many great adventures; even bit characters like Mandricardo were a part of that legend and for all of his insecurities, it's not like he regrets his own legend. (There's also some indirect suggestion that this was engineered by Merlin, after being wrecked with grief over how he couldn't do anything about how Artoria's reign ended - the Paladins were guided by him in Fate's version legend as well after all.) -- Techpriest (talk) 19:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Aurora[edit]
Honest opinion, I hope she gets turned into a mors. Damn, talk about a plot twist. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 17:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Never mind. Mélusine had a better idea. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 18:11, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Tunguska Sanctuary[edit]
Can I use Leyline stones here? Wanna know for future references, since I'll be fighting Koyanskaya twice here and I had to use one in my fight with her in Olympus. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 15:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
