Fate Fanservant: Bruce Cipher (Caster), the Summer Zirkusdirektor
A lot of this is going to be me spitballing, so don't expect full paragraphs. At best, you'll get a handful of coherent ideas at a time.
Ascension Stages
All of them are male-presenting, but still drawn as "anime twinks."
Stage 1:
Obligatory swimsuit stage (Will I even include this in the end? Maybe he’ll be a welfare with the Stage 2 design.)
Just swim trunks, with visible top surgery scars (This is the only thing keeping me from going with the welfare idea.)
He knows he can technically look like whatever he wants, but he decided to add the scars anyway as a mark of pride.
Stage 2:
Now we're getting into the good stuff.
Lolita-style ringmaster outfit, directly ripped off from Koyanskaya of Darkness's second ascension
(Picrew source, this isn’t the final design)
Traits
Class: Caster
Alternate Classes: Avenger, Berserker, Foreigner
Region: North America
Alignment: Chaotic Summer
Deck: QAAAB
Parameters
Strength: E
Endurance: <to be decided>
Agility: <to be decided>
Mana: A++
Luck: B+++
Noble Phantasm: A+
Passive Skills
Right-Hand Clown (Rankless)
Apply immunity to Charm.
Increase range of Active Skills and Noble Phantasm to include all [Mephistopheles] allies.
Lowers own Attack against all [Mephistopheles] allies.
Existence Outside the Domain D
The boost from the Foreigner class has been removed.
Gain 2 critical stars every turn.
Increase your debuff resistance by 4%.
Territory Creation B+
Bruce's "territory" consists of a small circus tent and its props. As expected of Territory Creation, however, it does not account for the circus crew. Therefore, Bruce has taken to forming a "troupe" out of whoever he deems fit.
Increase your own Arts Card effectiveness by 9%.
Item Construction D+
Bruce's new ringmaster cane takes up most of the energy for this skill, but he can briefly create prank items and toy weapons that can be used only once.
Increase your own Debuff Success Rate by 5%.
Active Skills
Mystic Eyes of Story Perception A
Changing from Foreigner to Caster decreased this skill's ranking slightly.
Chance to inflict Skill Seal upon one Servant opponent
Chance to decrease NP Strength for one Servant opponent
Summer Euphoria EX
A combat-optimized manifestation of rejoice from the different body type granted by this Spirit Origin. This change, while Bruce accepts that it is temporary, causes his confidence to skyrocket. However, his enthusiasm creates an unintentional "firewall" against bodies similar to his usual one.
Grants self Invincibility that grants a chance to ignore each attack for turns (similar to "The Beauty of Trouble With Women"), but only against Female and Feminine-Looking enemies
Lock Command Cards for three turns, but only if a Brave Chain from Bruce Cipher (Caster) is possible.
Let Your Freak Flag Fly! (rank to be decided)
Apply Special Attack against Human enemies for all [Monstrous] allies. (Heroic Spirits like Babbage, Xiang Yu, etc.)
Apply Flat Damage Reduction against Human enemies for all [Monstrous] allies.
If applicable, remove Non-Hominidae trait from any [Monstrous] allies.
Noble Phantasm Ideas
"Grand finale" that increases or even flat-out doubles drops from battle
The entire "troupe" comes together, increasing the number of Heroic Spirits on your side of the battlefield by however many [Monstrous] sub-members you have.
Support Arts NP with high chance to inflict "Hysterics" debuff to all enemies (increases length of enemy's Charge bar by 1)
Lean into the anti-Human niche?
Voice Line Ideas
Battle Start: It's time for a night that you will never forget.
Skill: Hoo hoo! The curtain shall fall on your miserable little time here.
Bond Level 1 (Unlocks through increasing Bond Levels): Ehe. Ehehehehe! Have you lost your nerve, "Master?" …What's the matter, not a fan of callbacks?
Conversation 2 (Requires Mephistopheles [Caster] or Mephistopheles [Assassin]): "Ah, mein traunes... my verntrauenswürtiger... my, uh... mein teufel! Mein trusty teufel! It's good to see you! S-sorry... I definitely got the word wrong, didn't I?"
Conversation 3 (Requires Mephistopheles [Pretender], Stage 1-2): <to be decided>
Conversation 4 (Requires Mephistopheles [Pretender], Stage 3): Ah, my precious teufel. What's with the outfit? Verrry fancy! Don't tell me you picked that out to impress me, did you? Aheeheehee!
Conversation 5 (Requires Abigail Williams [Summer]): <to be decided>
Conversation 6 (Requires a [Monstrous] Servant, with some exceptions): <to be decided>
Conversation 7 (Requires Mysterious Heroine X, Mysterious Heroine XX, Okita Souji, Okita J. Souji, Hijikata, Saito Hajime, or Yamanami Keisuke): What are you, a cop? Piss off.
Conversation 12 (Requires the Snow Queen): Mm? Have I always had the capacity to be this... brutal? Do I... Do I even have the strength?
During an Event (???): Hoo-whee! Events sure are busy things! Hm? Master, what are you doing here!? There're places to go! People to see! Let's get this trainwreck a-rollin', ahaha!

H-hi, everyone! You can call me "M." Rotomblr is my home away from home! (...and the Camphrier Academy Hex Maniac Club.)
Blog header source (warning for spider web imagery)
Blog background source
I made my icon myself, with images from Bulbapedia and Canva!
But enough about me! You all want to hear about my cute Pokémon, right? Well, um, have no fear! Heheh...
My team of cute little buggies!!!
Cuddlepie the Burmy!
Cuddlepie was my first real Pokémon! We don't like to battle much, so she's only level 12, but she already learned Struggle Bug in addition to Tackle and Protect, so that's some healthy progress! Her Overcoat ability makes her so soft, and she likes to gently rub it on my face. She's somewhat clownish about it, but that's a boon in and of itself! I keep her by my side in a Heal Ball for when I'm away from other people and in need of emotional support!
Floof the Spewpa!
Floof used to be a household pet, but he recently hit level 9, and the sassy little boy kept shedding his skin in the most inconvenient places. Since I'm the one who caught him for my dad in a Premier Ball long ago, I'm technically his trainer, so he stays with me at boarding school! I'm always finding him shooting string everywhere, but he always likes to fight about it when I try to discipline him. He's a very special boy, though! For instance, he already knew Iron Defense when I caught him all those years ago.
Bebe the Ledyba!
Pronounced "Beebee," my cute widdle Ledyba's only level 3! I found her outside in the berry gardens recently, using Supersonic to wail for help. I couldn't find her parents, so I put her in a Poké Ball. Oddly, she's normally quiet, which can cause some trouble since she's highly curious. Sometimes, the room'll be so quiet you can hear a pin drop, only for her to knock something off the kitchen table. She also knows Tackle, and sometimes I see her using a mysterious move that I don't recognize. It worries me, but I'm told it's normal for baby Pokémon to do that. I sort-of watch from afar, since I don't want to coddle her.
