Rider's New Reality
So! Rider is effectively post-canon (for his own role, anyways), which makes his reality situation complicated. Because he died. :( So I've gone through a substantial change to his reality, complete with some Nasuverse gibberish.
What Servants are and how they "work" is complicated, but essentially, when they're not summoned to fight in the Holy Grail War(s), they're in a place called the Throne of Heroes. It's not quite a place, persay, as much as it is a void. There's nothing there, and time doesn't operate normally (or at all) there. That's what allows heroes from the past, present and future to be summoned as Servants. Instead of what happens when a Servant loses in a War, Rider will return to the Throne of Heroes. But instead of just nothingness, the Throne of Heroes will have a single area of "existence" where there is ancient Alexandria. Specifically, Brucheum. Brucheum, according to our lord and savior Wikipedia, is "the Royal or Greek quarter, forming the most magnificent portion of the city. In Roman times Brucheum was enlarged by the addition of an official quarter, making four regions in all. The city was laid out as a grid of parallel streets, each of which had an attendant subterranean canal." This includes the Ancient Library of Alexandria.
Mergers will build off of Brucheum, and other Heroic Spirits will be able to come and go through Brucheum as they please, though none will be able to use their Noble Phantasms.
For those of you who may not be as familiar with Fate/Stay Night, Heroic Spirits are "elemental spirit of humanity that is considered a natural phenomenon in itself, Heroic Spirits are beings that accomplished great achievements such as saving the world and, after their death, became the object of worship and lore. As a result, they are placed outside the cycle of transmigration of the soul and ascend to an existence closer to Divine Spirits in order to become a power that protects humanity." So this means you have mythical characters and people hanging out and fighting. But mostly chilling and being bros.
The canon (or semi-canon) "heroes" that will be in Rider's new reality are:
Awesome, right? HELL YEAH. I'll also be "adding" other characters because I love mythology and junk, so you can keep track of that here.
Normally this would not warrant an OOC post since I'm sure most of you don't care that much, but Rider has been on the Plane for a year or more and only has one merger. Don't you want a merger with this awesome shit? I know you do. So let's talk mergers for Rider!
