he's a faceless legionary, the hassan group is interesting but none of the individuals are very interesting. and i want all the servants to be.

Exactly so using another character would be best.

and using Mordred gives character development to Saber (assuming we don't change hercules with Lancelot) provide her character development is important.

Hmm, yeah, true. It also gives an interesting contrast with Shirou, potentially, due to his father.

Well, no, perhaps not. There is quite a lot of family-related stuff going on, though, with Rin/Sakura and Shirou/Ilya.

exactly, i suspect he'll be too busy to compare mordred to himself.

Well, OK, so, we need to work out who will get Caster and Assassin. We also need to start working on the plot.

Ayako and Shinji
Well, firstly, how do they get hold of their respective servants.

Secondly, I'm rather worried about how it will affect the balance of the story. Ayako having Caster means Caster is on the side of the good guys, and Shinji having Assassin is difficult to work with given that Sakura will be freed of Zouken relatively early on.

Kirei could be the impetus for shinji getting a servant assassin.

and ayako getting caster won't affect the balance of the story, not in a major way as caster will be weaker

True.

How does that work with Sakura getting freed etc., though?

Well, it removes Caster as an antagonist. Also, I'm not sure Caster would be OK with being weaker....

she doesn't have the ability to compare herself to her canon self so she wouldn't know she's weaker, as for shinji getting assassin it doesn't matter about zouken being alive
