Would you play a heroic hero character based upon Gilles de Rais?
No, I would play a heroic character based upon La Hire.
>>96595567>The blood on La Hire's sword is almost dry
No, but I appreciate FGO's version of him.>debuted as one of the lowest rarity Saber-class servants>Bland, boring, one of the worst servants in the game, summoned at a time of his life BEFORE there was even any hint of him being a serial killer>as he levels up, becomes increasingly corrupted by his later years>his later, completely depraved self is also a separate, summon-able servant in a different class (Caster), a terrifying, monstrous, and completely unhinged figure, who in the Fate/Zero anime tortured and killed numerous children for no other reason than to amuse himself at the powerlessness of God to stop him>The Saber is initially horrified and disgusted by the fact that a future version of himself is slithering around the place, a constant reminder that he will eventually and inevitably become a monster himself>they later bond over the fact that they both think Jeanne D'Arc is the greatest thing ever and become co-presidents of her fanclub.
>>96595515why yes, i love to roleplay serial murderers and rapists.he would fit right into my repertoire anon, how did you know?
>>96595700I do like how in FGO the French servants will occasionally all just show up together.
>>96595700They even made a doujin about her together.
Does Gilles de Rais give the same vibes as The Comedian, but less extreme? (Outward hero, but morally disturbed in reality)
>>96595707To be fair most adventurers are serial killers to kobolds and the like.
>>96595515I have no doubt in my mind that Gilles de Rais is a victim of propaganda trying to delegitimize Jeanne's popularity among the masses.
>>96595857Kobolds' stat block says they're evil so anything you do to them is morally justified.
>>96595818Uh, no.The Comedian had the back then usual edgy antihero attitude as a facade (at least for his inner circle, not for the public), but he basically just didn't really deny the shit many other capes did as well. Or a lot of normal soldiers, for that matter. He was a sociopath, but hardly worse than many of his peers and most of all he incarnated gleefully what capes actually ended up fight for. He did have a dark secret but ironically enough he tried to get forgiviness for that.GDR was, as far as chroniclers describe him, outwardly all chivalric bullshit (in as much as apparently he WAS what passed for a good knight on the field) but a true absurdly perverted monster.Not sure if the retarded movie changed that, hope it didn't.
>>96595934You could be a serial killer just of committed nazis, but you would be a serial killer nontheless.
>>96595946>GDR was, as far as chroniclers describe him, outwardly all chivalric bullshit (in as much as apparently he WAS what passed for a good knight on the field) but a true absurdly perverted monster.This is great character concept you can't lie though.
>>96596518yeah, it would be real fun having to sit through sessions upon sessions where the dm's best friend that insisted upon playing high nobility and roleplaying a noble knight doing unspeakable horrors to little kids and describing it with gleeful detail to the dm while the rest of us got into the game under the promise of an 100 years war campaign along with Jean d Arc acting out a realistic medieval fantasy
>>96596518Yeah, no. Maybe for a novel. >>96596576 is right.
>>96595934USUALLY Lawful Evil, not Always
>>96596670Could make a good surprise villain lol
>>96597144More doable, but honestly, I bet 99% of the players would expect a subversion by a shining armor type of knight nowdays. I would be the first to expect the GM to pull an Arthas or at least a Jaime.
>>96595869Believable desu
Now that I think of it, Gilles de Rais is extremely fucked up as a person.
>>96595515No, but I like making him a vampire.
>>96597983He was worse
>>96595869How then to explain all the dead kids, and the cleric who helped him who later got caught doing more nefarious bullshit?
>>96595515Ew French
>>96595515Given that I didn't think of this myself, probably not.
>>96595515Giles de Rais was framed
>>96597983Ok castlevania
>>96595515I'd rather a heroic character based on adolf hitler.
