Stories
7Character details
William Shakespeare is definitely the most renowned playwright and actor.
His name, which is highly praised in the world of English literature, is probably one of the most recognized names on this planet.
Profile 1
Height/Weight: 180cm, 75kg
Origin: History
Region: England
Alignment: Neutral-Balanced
Sub-Attribute: Human
Gender: Male
Quietly married.
Profile 2
Even though he was a famous writer, half of
his life is surrounded in mystery. He wrote some of the best literature known to mankind and there was no limit to his fame. In his time he was criticized as "an upstart crow" by writers senior to him.
Profile 3
Shakespeare uses short but effective words
to expose things people are trying to hide. Being confronted by something so intangible must comes as a shock to anybody.
Profile 4
Enchant: A
Unique skill. Applies a certain concept to any weapon.
Originally this skill is meant to apply magical concepts to items but in Shakespeare's case, he can enhance a weapon beyond its innate potential through his writings.
Profile 5
『First Folio』
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Personnel
When the Curtain Rises, the Applause Shall Be As Ten Thousand Thunders!
The ultimate play written by Shakespeare.
Regardless of allies or foes, he can turn targets into characters of his play.
Capable of breaking the will of even the greatest of heroes, an Anti-Psyche Noble Phantasm.
Additional profile
One of the few Servants who "will not fight" during a Holy Grail War. The more interesting your choice is, the better he writes. On the other hand, if you are nothing special, he would probably leave you to your own demise.
That does not change, even in the current situation.

- Bond Level 1
- Hmm, my shoulders have stiffened. Oh Master, what impeccable timing.
- Bond Level 2
- Allow me to share some verses with you.
- Bond Level 3
- Yes, let me present you with a poem. I guarantee it will move you to tears.
- Bond Level 4
- Oh well, let me write you a story! I will fill the story of your life with many adventures!
- Bond Level 5
- I hope that your story will come to a happy end! No matter what tragedy you face, may you face it with strength! And should it be a comedy, may everyone stand in applause for you at the end!
- Bond Level 5 (After Completing Part 1)
- And thus, humanity was protected, and everyone lived happily ever after. Well, I suppose the outcome may be some ways removed from "happy." Regardless, we have all gathered here to wish for you to live a life filled with laughter, 'tis true.
- Conversation 1
- We should make our way. We must see the beauty of the world before it is gone!
- Conversation 2
- Yes, I am a Servant who serves no purpose at all. Is something the matter?
- Conversation 3
- Now then Master tell me, how do you feel?
- Likes
- What would I like? Hahaha, I have been a slave to words and prose for so long.
- Dislikes
- I have nothing to profess a distaste for! Nothing but the plain man. Yes, the ordinary man is too easily controlled by the likes of Antony!
- About the Holy Grail
- My hopes for the Holy Grail? I would wish for a more exciting world!
- Conversation 4
- Oh my, you are the maiden of Orleans! Oh? Why are you backing away? Why are you in a flicker jab stance? Pray tell, am I but a punching bag to you!?
- Conversation 5
- It has been a while, everyone! With everyone here, I need no longer be on the front line, correct? Well then, everyone, I leave it in your hands... Wait, hold on a minute! Do not drag me!
- Conversation 6
- Oh? A homunculus that can transform into Siegfried and Fafnir...a victor from a different Holy Grail War... Why not embellish it even more while we're at it? For example... How about a former demon king? What is a demon king, you ask? It's an occupation...perhaps...
- Conversation 7
- Ah, a mysterious Japanese person I can hardly claim not to have met! How about a comedic script? Well, I'm simply afraid I would be stabbed in the back should I dare offer a tragedy.
- Conversation 8
- Andersen, we are literary Servants. That is to say, I understand that our age and physical form make no difference, but don't you think you have made yourself too young? Then again, deadlines come barreling in no matter your physique!
- Conversation 9
- Ah, I am so grateful a grand library has been built here in Chaldea! By the way, do you recall what the library's official name is? If memory serves, it was a ridiculously long name...
- Conversation 10
- Ah, you are the painter... I suppose we would call you an illustrator in these modern times. Would you be interested in doing some illustrations for a story? I hear there are some books that are bought specifically for the pictures nowadays!
- Conversation 11
- Theater...a Singularity revolving around that very subject... So why was I not invited? Well, I do believe it was all Lord Cyrano's fault. Though now, I say it is finally my time to shine! I will not miss out on this theatrical craze!
