Kamen rider Gaim was written by Gen Urobuchi. He decided to make it a free for all between kamen riders for literal godhood. Gaim won. So it's post series Gaim who is a god. But with the grail, his godhood is sealed. Unless he can bypass that protocol he's pretty limited.

Then I'm placing in the Title of Tairou, the Great Wolf of the Sun.

-A makai knight title that originated from the west. Because of the golden armor, its bearer was once counted as a rival to Garo and subsequently led to a duel between the two for the title of greatest Makai Knight during the Judgement. Subsequently, Tairou lost and graciously acceded the title of strongest and only Golden Knight to Garo. That's why even if the Tairou armor is the color of gold, it is never referred to as such.

The users of Tairou have never been passed down by lineage. It is very rare that lineage plays a part of obtaining the title of Tairou because of its principles. Tairou is the heaviest of all Makai Knight armors, using the most Soul Metal to forge. Even the Tairou sword in its untransformed state is as large as the Garo ken in its transformed form. The users of Tairou are only those with great control of their Inga, resulting in overpowering control of soul metal. The original bearer of Tairou was said to have destroyed many a set of soul metal armor from being unable to handle his immense spirit during battles with Horrors. Legend has it that the current Tairou armor was forged from those many destroyed armors that he bore. Such strength of mind and spirit pre-requisite to the title is not something that can be inherited.

Is it okay if you make up your own title and armor?

  I'm just working with what is in either series. Honestly if you want to blame anyone about the last one then blame Urobuchi. He's the one who wrote the end scenario of giving the hero absurd gary-stu powers XD

Either way the grail system is foolproof isn't it?

Oh, my bad. I thought just killing the worms would end up with her dead too. What did it need to remove all the worms again? I think it was surgery by Kirei?

Gaim has 2 possible methods at his disposal to kill all the worms inside Sakura. The first is letting Sakura breathe Helheim spores which have unbelievable growth capabilities, taking root even in living flesh to bloom. They can go from spore to flower in less than a few minutes. Despite being in full control of anything residing in Helheim, Gaim can probably guide the spores directly to the worms, grow on them then consume them fully before breaking down into base components. However because of the Grail limiting Gaim's abilities, he can't do this safely. The second method is to feed Sakura Helheim fruit which will force an evolutionary response in her body, basically mutating her, but Gaim can likely still help her control the changes so she won't become something monstrous. And the second path is the safer one 

Best case scenario, Gaim can somehow override the restrictions of the grail and regain his fullpowers. By that point he can probably just will the worms to die and completely restore Sakura's body down to pre-modification.

Well as your bog standard hero, he definitely will save Sakura. His heroics go into naivety overdrive though because he doesn't believe in saving people by sacrificing others. Rather that's what he had been fighting against this whole time, the notion that you have to sacrifice someone to save another. As for Zouken, he would probably try to see some good in the old man, something to give him a reason not to kill Zouken until he realizes the Matou ancestor is nothing more than just a mass of negative emotions.

Gaim would definitely have the power to destroy the worms in Sakura's body, but likely her physiology would've been altered to be dependent on the crest worms so she'd die without them. Either way, if Gaim attempted to save her by removal of the worms, she'd likely lose her humanity anyway despite retaining her sense of self.

A horrible idea that haunts me my every waking moment. What if Shirou's servant was Kamen Rider Gaim instead of Artoria?

Not much is probably going to change storywise but the character dynamics would be hilarious. Gaim wouldn't be able to go above jimber because it would severely drain his master. His powers from the golden fruit would be mostly sealed by the Holy Grail. Archer would be stupefied when he learns what Gaim fought against as a hero and even more when he realizes Gaim comes from a children's show. And ofcourse who can forget? Gate of Babylon vs Fruits of Helheim.

If I remember correctly, CCC happens during Extra so I was thinking... What if Caster's servant then had been Archer during the Grail War but during the interlude of the Far Side Incident, her servant was Gilgamesh? And to some extent she and Gilgamesh got along? Enough that he had come crashing into the Moon Cell during her last moments to save her, only seconds too late as she was on the last seconds of deletion alongside Archer. Would interactions regarding CCC Gilgamesh work with Fate Gilgamesh?

Hmmm, well you make a point about Shirou being her servant. But it's the only chance Caster has to fight back against any other servant. Heck even Assassin would destroy her. I would think that if Caster needed a servant to be able to fight back, Shirou wouldn't even consider involving anyone else. That is unless she can summon her own servant but then again she only summoned her servant by accident and she has no idea how to actually summon one at will. As for the prana sending. Well I have to rethink that one a bit I guess. She doesn't really need to get prana from Shirou because she has an abnormal Independent Action skill almost on par with Gilgamesh. Still wouldn't make much sense for her to send Shirou prana though so yeah.

As for Shirou having a choice. Contract Bond requires the consent of both Caster and the one being bonded to her as servant. So they have to come to an understanding before anything can happen.

Well the grail being corrupt made it screw the rules a bit. It just so happened that the Caster it chose was one whose only feat of being a magus was winning a holy grail war. So that's what it focused on. There is no problem for Caster to bind a servant and become a master. To the grail, the number of masters never really mattered. In some cases it's just more mana to fuel it, in another case the rules have always been the winner is the last master standing. If someone who already possessed command seals steps in, then it doesn't react negatively. Neither would the judges, most likely.

As for the dynamic between Shirou and Caster, their prana is interlinked. She sends prana to him while he sends prana to her. Both are masters to each other and both are servants to each other. Each can use the command seal on the other and the effectiveness is dependent on their will as per usual and whoever goes first. Other than those I don't think their dynamic would change much. Unless I'm missing something.

Exactly. It's familiar and yet she distinctly knows these are different people. As the war drags on though, the people she remembers exhibit the same personalities, tendencies, quirks that she knew them for confusing her as she acts like she knows them on impulse. It's even harder when her master acts much like the justice freak Archer described himself as in a past life. And Caster's memories of Archer that flow into Shirou through dreams slowly teach him magecraft through instinct, if only because they share the same abnormal origin of the sword, non-withstanding them being the same person from different dimensions. Archer's level of projection would eventually spur Shirou on to perfect the craft enough to at least deploy in combat.

The idea would be for the roles to reverse as Caster stands back while her master takes to direct combat. Her Noble Phantasm Contract Bond could be used on Shirou and he would gain similar abilities as that of a servant with an added boost of 2 ranks to every parameter.

@yolf: seems to be a rather unfortunate man.

Caster was supposed to have two more abilities. One is a personal skill while the other is her ultimate Noble Phantasm. However I found that it completely tipped the balance somewhat to a screwy scale.

Personal Skill:

Obfuscation: E
- She cannot actually hide her presence but she has a unique constitution for a servant. For one, she feels remarkably human without the air of a heroic spirit. That means she is less likely to be detected as a servant by means of searching out traces of mana or presence compared to normal servants. Even when knowing she is a servant, one cannot help but feel they're just standing in front of a normal human. Another extent of her plainness allows her to be easily overlooked. That is completely different from hiding one's presence because her presence is overlooked instead of being concealed.

Noble Phantasm:

Moon Cell Automaton - Soul, Will and Mind of God, The Holy Grail of Information: EX
- Her act of heroism acknowledged by the Holy Grail was winning the Moon Cell Holy Grail War and then using her wish to seal it away, even though merely making the wish would cause in her destruction. Even when drawing from the strength of the Holy Grail to create miracles, Caster cannot truly call on the Moon Cell. And even if she could, she could not make any wish on it due to her wish being used up as well as the process of her being destroyed repeated once again. Instead, what is summoned is a replica of the Moon Cell as a reality Marble based on her memories, one that would not destroy her on entrance. Inside the Moon Cell is information on everything, from the Earth's Inception to the current second, from the biography of great historical figures to the detailed story of the life of a single ant. All information of the world becomes available to Caster as well as the Moon Cell's processing ability to choose the ideal path in achieving one's desired scenario.

I cut off Obfuscation because it felt odd enough for a Caster to have Independent Action and True Eye of the Mind, especially in such high ranks. And that level of Obfuscation would be more played for laughs than any serious application in the story. As for her second Noble Phantasm, I think it would make her a bit overpowered considering how big of a deal information is in the Holy Grail War. She would immediately know who are the Master Servant Pairs in the war and would be provided with the exact measures to defeat each one. This would swing her position as the weakest servant to possibly the most powerful.

She was never meant to be a powerful servant though, because she was summoned specifically into the 5th holy grail war due to its participants. I wanted her true worth to lie in who she recognizes and knows in the war, particularly her master Emiya Shirou.

Not so much an OC as a variant of the Fate/Extra female protagonist. I'm trying t adjust this but I'm not sure what I should be doing.

Race: Servant Caster

Gender: female

Age: visibly 16

Name: Manami Horobiya

appearance: Long brown wavy hair with matching large brown eyes. Her bangs are cut in an even fringe that dangle just above the eyes. She wears a western style school uniform with a tan colored blazer and pleated skirt to match. She wears stockings and brown loafers to complete the school girl look. Her skin is like alabaster making her resemble some sort of porcelain doll than a real girl. She appears helpless to the point people feel uncomfortably compelled to help her. The effect is almost like the Servant Skill Charisma but her status shows she does not have such a skill.

personality: She's rather blunt and awkward, especially at first impressions. She doesn't believe that she has a personality because she lacks memories. Still, she's witty and razor tongued when provoked. At most times she's a very neutral type of person, hating the idea of violence and yet she is also not against it when required of her. Though generally cordial and almost meek further enhancing that doll like image, she has the tendency to throw a mean punch at anything that surprises her as an involuntary reflex. She believes that perhaps she was a person who didn't believe in slapping.

Parameters:

Strength: E

Endurance: E

Agility: E

Mana: C

Luck: D

Noble Phantasm: B

Class Skill:

Territory Creation: E
- She is incapable of actually making a territory suited for maximizing her magecraft or item creation. However she has impeccable domestic skills that maximize productivity of whoever is using it. For example; if she tidies up the study, whoever is in the study for purposes of research or paperwork feel unnaturally driven and without laziness.

Item Creation: E
- Having no experience in crafting during her life, Caster cannot create even simple talismans as imposed by this class skill. Such is the level of her incompatibility with crafting. However she has a rank E in it just so it appears on the status sheet.

Personal skill:

Independent Action: EX
- She can exist on her own mana supply indefinitely even without a contract. In fact, she can exist indefinitely even when contracted as a master or prana source so long as it does not exceed her generation of it.

Magecraft: E
- Shown to be capable of using fairly powerful single action spells. Still useless when it comes to dealing with servants having any form of magic resistance. Though that may be irrelevant seeing as most of Caster's spells are supportive in nature.

Eyes of the Mind(True): D+++
- Though limited, experience gained throughout her life has sharpened Caster's mind to a point that she can read the tells of an opponent's moves. Her accuracy with this is normally 50-50 as if she is merely guessing. When specific information is obtained on the opponent, the effect doubles. Another increment is added when her luck check is a positive. At it's maximum, Caster's Mind's Eye does not only predict attacks accurately and precisely as if she had future vision; it also allows her to grasp at the possibility of victory even when the chances are 0%, even when faced with gods with no preparation whatsoever.

Noble Phantasm:

Contract Servant - An Alteration of the Soul: B (Support type Noble Phantasm)
- Though any servant, especially caster class servants, can become a master. Caster's is unique as it allows her to turn even living things into her servant. Another unique point to her contract is once her servant's parameters are settled, they receive a bonus 2 ranks in all parameters. With everything else, it resembles the standard Master-Servant system of the grail war, meaning Caster would have her own set of command seals specific to the servant contracted to her.
