Deviation Actions
Ah, why not? I got a few good ideas to spare for pop-culture-based Grail War servants.
Hisako:
Title: The Eternal Child
Class: Berserker
Other Qualifying Classes: Lancer, Assassin
Relic: A Japanese doll dating back to the 16th century
Parameters:
Strength: C/B
Endurance: B/A
Agility: A/A++
Mana: C
Luck: D
N. Phantasm: C+/B+
Class Skills:
Mad Enhancement
C: Rank up for all parameters except for Mana and Luck, but can no longer think and speak properly.
Personal Skills:
Body Distortion: Possessing abnormal levels of physical flexibility, allowing for otherwise-impossible maneuvers.
B: Hisako can bend backward, almost completely in half, and crawl around on the ground like a spider.
Fearsome Mien: The ability to cause fear.
A+: Merely mentioning the servant's name is enough to make people nervous, even ones who have seen fierce and brutal battle in the past.
Battle Continuation: The strength of vitality for predicaments. Also, the ability to withdraw from combat and reach allied territory alive after being defeated.
C+: Can take a lot more punishment than most servants and seems unable to feel pain, likely from her undead nature, but grievous injuries can wear her down and kill her.
Spectral Body: Having a body that walks the line between alive and dead.
A: Hisako was reborn as an onryo and can actually shift into a ghostly form for brief periods of time, allowing her to teleport short distances and even possess enemies for five seconds. Other abilities include traveling through shadows, using forces to draw enemies closer, and phasing through solid objects that aren't magical in nature. Performing them requires some concentration and they will stop working if she's stunned or intercepted mid-use.
Noble Phantasm:
Kazoku no Naginata: Glaive of the Fallen Father
Anti-Unit C+
The naginata owned by her samurai father, who was slain by invaders, Hisako took the polearm for herself and, in her fury, cut down many invaders before she herself was slain. The naginata can channel mana and Hisako's own spectral energies to enhance its cuts and strikes, but also gives her a slight amount of insight, allowing her to swap out a direct attack for a counter-strike by "flickering". This feature cannot be spammed, though, and requires a certain amount of mana to execute, the amount increasing slightly with each use.
Shinzoku no Ikari: One-Hundred Vengeful Ghosts
Support B+/Familiar C+
The souls of Hisako's friends, family, and fellow villagers that were mercilessly cut down by foreign invaders. These spirits have two primary functions. One is to briefly increase one of Hisako's parameters by a full rank for up to fifteen seconds (a decision up to Hisako's master), but only one stat can be increased and the master must wait until the previous stat has returned to normal before boosting another.
The second feature is that the spirits can be summoned forth as familiars armed with spears and swords with the following parameters...
Strength: B
Endurance: B
Agility: E
Mana: B
Luck: D
These phantoms number at least a hundred, are pretty difficult to kill, and cannot be renewed if they're slain by an enemy or used to boost Hisako's stat. Use of them must be monitored carefully.
Sasayaki no Mura: My Home...My World...
Anti-Army A
Strangely for a Berserker, a reality marble that takes the form of the village in which Hisako grew up, but in its current state--skeletal buildings, a mass graveyard, and spectral images of people and buildings--this is all that remains of her world. In this world, an aura of fear decreases enemy stats like Strength, Endurance, and Mana by a full rank. The vengeful souls of the village may also rush at enemies and, while they cannot physically harm entities, can distract and startle them, increasing the marble's effects on them slightly.
There are some ways to combat this Phantasm's effects. Those who possess Bravery or Eye of the Mind can resist its effects (high levels can be completely immune), but those who possess Mental Disorders (exception being Mind Pollution) are far more vulnerable to its effects.
Design Notes: Briefly considered Spinal for the role of Berserker, but decided that Hisako's backstory, appearance, and more savage combat style fit the bill better.
If any of you people have any pointers or advice to give, feel free to tell me. Still a little wet behind the ears with Servant design and knowledge on the Type-Moon world.

The Future of Death Battle (and Arena)
As was announced on Twitter earlier today, Warner Bros announced that it will be shutting RoosterTeeth down. RWBY, Camp Camp, Red vs. Blue, and Gen: LOCK are among the many shows that will suffer under this decision. While RT's fall is one that many people saw coming, it doesn't make this ordeal any easier to watch. And seeing so many entertainers, projects, and jobs get left off on the wayside is just hard to look at. I do encourage you to archive and download what you can. We do NOT want a repeat of what happened to Machinima not too long ago--tldr; entire website went down and it took almost two decades' worth of content into the void with it, never to be seen again. (hate the heads of RT, not the artists whose only crime was doing their job) All of this applies to Death Battle, a mainstay of RT's since they merged w/ScrewAttack and one of their biggest draws for years. What does all this mean for Death Battle Arena going forward? ...I don't know. DB's future is uncertain. I'll
DB Arena Challenge: Build Your Roster
I've teased the idea for a while, but now it's time to put it to work. The basic idea of how DB Arena's roster would work is to choose a select number of fighters, and I'm curious as to what those of you who follow it would do with almost 400 characters to choose from. So, here's the challenge: "BUILD YOUR OWN ROSTER". There are really only two rules... -Pick 20-30 characters max from Death Battle's vast history. Don't just choose characters solely because "I like them". Pick them if you think you'd be good playing as them or if you think you'd have a lot of fun with their moveset (based on your personal experiences w/fighting games). -You may pick ONE "DLC" character: a character you hope will be in DB but hasn't shown up. I'll start off with mine. Also, these are in no particular order. 1. Bayonetta 2. Megaman.EXE 3. Ryu 4. Deadpool 5. Fulgore 6. Strider Hiryu 7. Darth Vader 8. Yang 9. Hawkeye 10. Mewtwo 11. Tracer 12. Madara 13. TJ Combo 14. Spider-Man 2099 15. Sephiroth 16.
DB Arena's Voice Changes...
The guy writing the Arena's TVTropes page (or whatever fan-wikis exist) probably hates me for doing this so much, but... I can explain. Ever since its inception, changes have been steadily made to the choice voice actors I have for some of these characters. There are many reasons for this, so I'm going to explain it to the best of my ability. Some of these are simple enough, some are disheartening, others will scar you for life, and there are one or two happy endings among them. The first and foremost reason I make occasional changes is one I kinda make clear... AVOIDING CELEBRITY CASTING... I don't entirely hate celebrities (though in this day and age, they DO test my patience a lot) and some can actually be solid voice actors-when they're NOT just being themselves solely to act as a draw for whatever they're in-but I came across this bit in a director's commentary for the animated movie "Ultimate Avengers". In short, it basically said they wanted voice actors that could breathe
What's Been Going On?
Pardon my brief break. I needed time to gauge my situation, measure my options, and test a few approaches to the situation at hand. Now that I have an idea of what’s going on, I owe you all an explanation. There’s a reason I haven’t been tackling quote suggestions or working on Arena Bios like I used to. First of all, I had a LOT of comments to go through from several contributors and it took a lot of time and effort to get through all of them. Don’t take this the wrong way—I’m happy to get them most of the time, but it still requires a lot of time and effort to go through them all, especially when you have a day-job that can leave you exhausted like me. What really put me in this situation, however, was a more recent development. Basically, if I stay on a single deviantart page for too long (a few minutes, from what I’ve observed), the tab I’m on will slow down and eventually crash. It’s the worst when you’re editing a page and the screen suddenly just whites out and converts to a
