Caster: Daedalus.
Noble Phantasm:
The Labyrinth
Rank A (B)
A great maze that built to contain a great beast, the Labyrinth swallowed up hero after hero who dared to enter it to slay the Minotaur within. Some were slain by the beast, and others wandered within, lost forever to the maze's depths. When invoked, The Labyrinth takes the form of a reality marble consisting entierly of a vast maze, with all those caught within the area scattered throughout. The Minotaur, linked on a fundamental level to the Labyrinth, also takes form within, and will attack all it encounters, be it Daedalus or his foes. Finally, Daedalus, having designed and built the Labyrinth, knows every twist and turn of the maze, and all those within. When Daedalus is summoned as Caster, The Labyrinth can be fused with the Caster class ability, Territory Creation, allowing for the greatest of mazes to once again brought into existence in reality. Territory Creation also affords Daedalus a slightly greater control over his monumental work, allowing him to slowly rearrange walls and passageways within the Labyrinth, so long as he is the only one that can see the movement. While manifested via Territory Creation, The Labyrinth cannot be summoned as a reality marble.
The Wings of Icarus
Rank C
These wings allow for flight, with a degree of control roughly equivalent to a hummingbird, at up to about 40 mph. Additionally, one cannot fly too high, or too close to the surface of water, or the wings will fail. One does not grow tired while using these wings.
Item Creation:
Rank EX
Known as the greatest craftsman in the time of Ancient Greece, Daedalus is capable of creating Noble Phantasms of rank E through D (including all the +s for E ranks, but no +s for any D ranked NPs) in the modern era. Lacking legends, these Noble Phantasms are relatively weak, but can be used by anyone who is shown how, and obviously surpass virtually any mystic code crafted by modern magi.

Servant Archer: John Marston
His Noble Phantasm would, of course, be: Dead Eye - All Bullets Shall Find Their Target. Does exactly what it says - John's guns don't miss as long as it's active, and ALWAYS hit the intended body part. It's both more and less powerful than Lancer's Gae Bolg - less because it doesn't autoseek the heart, more because it lets John defeat someone without killing them.

Interesting, very much so. Who would summon him, though?
He might work for a B5 Technomage-fangirl Sakura idea I had (it involves her being given to a less evil family, which would wildly alter the Fourth HGW, and everything after, since Kariya would have no reason to participate), but how about the canon characters?

Hmm... Well, without a focus, I think I'd say Shirou is the most likely of the canon characters to summon Daedalus. Ignoring Avalon for a moment, he's the only Master I can think of off the top of my head that comes closest to thinking about themselves as a craftsman. Some of the early scenes where he's using his magic to repair appliances stand out to me here. Without Avalon distorting him into a sword, I can easily see going down a craftman's path with his magic.
That said, I think the most likely of the canon characters to actually summon Daedalus would be Caster's original summoner, especially if he were to use a certain jug as a focus: Back in the Fourth War, I could see Kiristugu greatly enjoying the idea of sniping people lost in the Labyrinth.

Hmm, Kiritsugu summons Daedalus, and uses some item made by him to save Shirou, thus leading to Shirou summoning Daedalus in the Fifth War.
I hope that Shirou has a proper contract, though, so he doesn't need to use tantric methods to transfer prana :sick3: ... either that, or Daedalus is actually Daedala.

Well, given that he's a Caster from the Age of Gods, who is the greatest inventor of his era, aside from the gods themselves, I'm sure he can work out some alternative to tantric prana transfer. The first thing that jumps to mind is something along the lines of a blood brother ritual, but I'm sure there are alternate possibilities.

Why not make HIM a Servant? Especially given how there are a lot of rumors and legends claiming that he had the Philosopher's Stone - he himself claimed as much, too. B)
And if you want to pull a Saber with him, well...
You can always use Arcana Heart's version of Paracelsus, Parace L'sia. :snigger:

Here's something I churned out in boredom. Feel free to tear it apart, it's what I put it here for. Hell, feel free to remake it.
========
Servant Caster: Saint Enoch, the Patriarch
This is a peculiar Servant, as it is not the actual Patriarch, who according to myth was taken to the heavens by God instead of dying, but rather a spiritual echo imprinted deep within the Holy Grail and untouched by its taint due to its purity.
Enoch is the kindest soul you will ever meet, and detests conflict. Because of this, he is the Servant with the lowest offensive stats of all, but his defenses are second to none, and his main Noble Phantasm can be argued to be the single most unbalanced power a Servant could have at their disposal.
NOBLE PHANTASMS:
[Keys of Enoch - God's Celestial Treasury Has Opened]
This Noble Phantasm enables the user to bestow God's blessing and grant a single request of any one mortal. Whether it be the possession of a legendary weapon, knowledge lost or hidden to mortals, or glimpses into past, future or alternate timelines, all will be made possible for those who are selected to be granted this wish. However, the Keys of Enoch can only ever open the Celestial Treasury once per human generation, and one person is only ever entitled to be chosen once in their entire existence... including past, present and future incarnations.
[Septuagint - The Almighty's Word is Holy Law]
Enoch's main Noble Phantasm, this allows him the power to [command]. In practical terms, this bestows upon Enoch five unique words of power... but the important difference is that the commands imparted through Septuagint are absolute and affect all - human, nonhuman, Master, Servant... even the almighty Archetypes must bow down to the Holy Law. However, these commands drain an absolutely enormous amount of prana from Enoch and his Master when used (as they should, since they can be construed as 'I win' buttons), leaving them extremely debilitated and barely able to function for the following 24 hours. Consecutive use of two Septuagint commands is essentially guaranteed to cause the Master to die and Enoch to dissipate instantly.
========
Not sure about whatever statistics he should have, other than Enoch is a defensive monster, but sucks at offense (even though his Noble Phantasms are likely both max rtank due to their brokenness), and he's such a pacifist personality wise that he borders on Extreme Doormat territory, to use a trope. Feel free to comment and/or fill him out/modify him for balance purposes. Do remember that some myths claim he eventually became Metatron, so he may count as part divine too.

The first power doesn't need toning down, per se, but an addendum: Since Enoch!Caster is a Servant, all his Noble Phantasms require prana to enact. This one would not, and should not, come cheap, possibly requiring prana on a scale that would require the use of the Jeweled Sword Zelretch to acquire.
I'm kinda iffy on the "once per human generation" thing, since the Throne of Heroes (i.e. whence come the Eirei) is a place outside of time, but I'll let that one be.
I can't go along with the idea of a Servant that can impose a Rule on one of the Aristoteles. Those things are beings whose very existence embodies an entire set of World Laws different from those found on Earth. With the thus-far sole exception of the true Black Barrel (and only when wielded by a human without Grain in his system), there is no way to impose an Earthly death on one.
Everything below that level is feasible, however. I'd like to consider it as an ability capable of enacting Laws that override a single individual's ability to exert free will against them.
Of course, caution must be exercised. I suspect that if Septuagint was used to command Gilgamesh to "be humble", he would be a vegetable within a day.
edit: Has anyone statted the Saint of Killers as an Eirei yet?

Currently working on a crossover idea so wanted to work on some possible servants. I'd also greatly appreciate any suggestions for servants as well.
Rider: Jason of the Argonauts
The fabled Leader of Heros and King of Iolcus, Jason is a man driven by his Quest. With the same drive that she held to lead his crew to find the Golden Fleece and bring them safely home, she seeks the Grail in order to find one person and right the wrongs she dealt to her. And woe unto those who gets in her way. In life, Jason was indeed a Man, unlike Arturia of Camelot, but partially thanks to the curse laid upon her by Hera and Aphrodite for spurning Medea, Jason finds herself in a woman's body as punishment, in hopes that it would help Jason reflect upon his, now her, actions.
Strength C
Endurance C
Agility B
Mana A
Luck C
Skills
Riding: B
Classed as a Rider mostly due to her ship the Argo, Jason is mostly granted a bonus to this skill thanks to her Class.
Charisma: N/A
As the Captain of the Argo, Jason commanded the respect of the valiant Heroes who joined her on the famous quest, amongst them the great Herakles. Leading this powerful crew of Heroes to their goal and back cemented Jason as a great Leader in the eyes of the people.
Instinct: C
Upon engagement, the Servant is capable of optimizing her position by identifying and exploiting favorable developments. However, the skill cannot be activated except for defensive purposes. The Servant typically uses this ability to vaguely divine the intent of an opponent so as to determine whether engagement is an appropriate course of action, or if the opponent is an "enemy that must be fought."
Medea's Blessing: N/A
One of Jason's tasks to gain the Golden Fleece was to yolk the Khalkotauroi, a pair of fire-breathing bronze bulls. To protect Jason from the flames, Medea gifted her with a magical potion that protected her from their flames. Ever since then, no flame, be they Mortal, Supernatural or Divine, could ever harm Jason.
Noble Phantasms
Golden Fleece: The Gilded Shroud of the Gods
That which Jason strove so hard to obtain in order to reclaim her throne. The Golden Fleece is a defensive Noble Phantasm, allowing the one who wears it to heal from any wound and gain an EX level of Magic Resistance, placing the one it is effecting in a deep slumber.
Khalkotauroi: The Bronze Bulls of Hephaestus
By yolking the firebreathing bulls for King Aeetes, Jason claimed the Bulls as his own. As such, these normally wild creations of Hephaestus follow Jason's will, always appearing in pairs when Jason calls on them. Thanks to her immunity to fire, Jason may ride upon them with ease. Because they follow her will, Jason may utilize them for ambushes and hit and run tactics.
Argo: The Vessel of Heroes
The legendary ship upon which Jason and the Argonauts made their epic voyage. The Mast not only speaks but gives prophecies, and the vessel itself was built and blessed by the Gods. The ship as a Noble Phantasm is actually a Reality Marble, trapping Jason and her opponent on the deck of the Argo and allowing her to lead her crew in battle against the foe. While the crew itself are merely imprints of the legendary heroes that made up its number, the varied attackers and great numbers will usually be enough to fell any foe, though this does require Jason destroy the Golden Fleece. Only by throwing away that which she fought so hard for will she be able to call upon those she once called friends.
