Biography:

A controversial Russian born occultist, philosopher, and book author, who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She gained an international following as the leading theoretician of Theosophy, the esoteric movement that this society promoted.

A woman who led an intense life, probably scamming others along the way, but ever with a profound conviction she was following an honest path. Regardless, she might have just strayed into the area of influence of unknown beings from far away from Earth, who reeled her apart from the vows of her marriage and the conventional convictions of the society of her time.

She will at first show herself upon the shape of an older, wise woman she assumed in life, masking her true appearance under a concealing charm. This is an indication that she is more reserved than the mainline Helenas despite her claims, and she would rather keep others at arm's length, very likely because of the alien influence on her. Ascensions of her Saint Graph will peel that visual mirage off and she will reveal herself in her real, petite and youthful appearance, yet she will always keep a subtle inhuman glint in her eyes marking her as different from other possibilities of her self.

Class Skills:

Existence Outside the Domain: C

A mysterious Skill on which the current magecraft has no grasp, gauging or understanding. A factor beyond human measure, its true meaning still escaping even the brightest minds of our time.

This marks the Servant as a real enigma, something that came from beyond our plane of existence and cannot be classified along everybody else. Foreigner was born a 'normal' human being, but alleged contact with entities from beyond she identifies with the Mahatma of India's lore has marked her, leaving a permanent impact on her mind and altering her perceptions and ideals from those seen in most of mankind.

Whether this was the result of divergent events in the lifespan of this particular Madame Blavatsky compared to those hailing from other timelines is still unclear, and she won't speak clearly on the subject, talking about it in riddles and challenges, whether by her own design or mental affliction. It makes her considerably more manipulative and domineering than the Caster, Rider and Archer versions of Helena, even though she retains a motherly instinct towards those she deems worthy of her loyalty.

Outwardly, she may seem more willing to ignore accusations of being another charlatan, not faltering in her confidence like her other selves; but all the while, she will be planning terrible revenge against the doubter.

Personal Skills:

Mahatma: EX

Whatever the Mahatma truly are, and what their relationship to any elder or arcane gods or alien civilizations is, if there is any, Foreigner is much more in tune with them than any other incarnation of Helena Blavatasky ever was.

Foreigner can call upon the pioneers who had reached the Root or Source, who grant her a multitude of Thaumaturgy Foundations that are deeply engraved into the World, and allowing her usage of highly volatile and dangerous magecraft by borrowing power from them, the so-called Mahatma. Unlike with the other variants of Blavatsky, it seems clear that some manner of higher being is providing her with that power, enhancing her already special Magic Circuits, but it or them remain wrapped in mystery or secrecy, making their actual nature and intentions an unknown factor.

The varieties of magecraft Foreigner can manipulate include Summoning, Black Magics, Alchemy, Formalcraft (Elemental Conversion), Rune Magecraft, Ancient Egyptian Magecraft, and several others. It is also possible for her to employ the Holy Church's Baptism Rites, and sacred rituals from several other religions, whether of a Chaotic or Orderly nature. For her, it doesn't matter if such practices are considered blasphemous, paganic or unholy; as long as they hail from the Mahatma directly or indirectly, she won't judge them based on subjective morality principles.

Olcott Army: E

Henry Steel Olcott, an American reporter whom Madame Blavatsky impressed with her ability to manifest spirit phenomena, quickly became one of her staunchest supporters in the foundation of the Theosophical Society. In his honor, this Heroic Spirit has manufactured a series of small companion machines with a limited degree of awareness and intelligence that serve as her personal helpers and emergency backup in the laboratory and the battlefield. They can follow complicated instructions to the letter without ever questioning them.

Perhaps as a result of Foreigner's detachment with most of the human species after contacting the Mahatma, these Olcott units are not as efficient on their own as they would have been otherwise, although they remain an useful enough asset that can swarm others through superior numbers and surprise attacks. Foreigner seems to deem them as disposable for the most part, another tool to be employed and discarded when convenient in her campaign.

Dissection of Body and Spirit: A

The twin principles of physical matter and 'what lies beyond the material realm' must be understood and mastered for a true communion with the Mahatma to be achieved. Upon fixing her sights on any individual catching her attention, Foreigner will not rest until they have been completely studied and analyzed. This Skill grants Foreigner a complete understanding of a foe or ally's nature, aptitudes and weaknesses after a short period of careful, close observation, but the Skill can be disrupted if the target acts harshly and in rejection before the time necessary to complete the cross examination has transpired.

Pretty much no Master can hide secrets from Foreigner, and before long she will show herself as the true Master in the relationship. She usually tries to be benevolent, but if provoked she will easily show a vindictive streak that can prove to be the downfall of those who would enrage her. All the same, she is well aware of her physical limits when compared to other Servants and will not act before her time, stalling her actions until she has gauged her perfect chance to make her move.

Noble Phantasm:

Sanat Kumara- Fiery Death of the Morning Star: A

Anti-Army, up to 250 enemy units.

A combination and enhancement of the Noble Phantasms wielded by the Caster and Archer versions of Helena Blavatsky. At first, it will resemble the summon of her Caster self's Phantasm, that of a single, gigantic object hovering up into the sky. What men and women of the 20th century would call a huge 'flying saucer' apparently forged on black, unforgiving cold metal. However, before long it will surround itself with multiple, smaller manifestations of itself, like those seen in Summer Blavatsky's Noble Phantasm.

The devices will rain massive fire upon the Foreigner's designed enemy, with impressive accuracy, and never damaging anything or anyone Foreigner doesn't want damaged or destroyed. For some reason, the potential for collateral damage is kept to a minimum, and the nonstop fire will never hit Foreigner herself, either.

Summon: "Ah, a new adept. Obviously you have great potential, if you have tapped on the secrets of the Mahatma. I'm Foreigner, the emissary sent your way..."

Start of Battle: "The Hierarchy will judge you now!"

"You're playing with forces you don't understand!"

"What a foolish child! So much yet to learn!"

Victory: "There's a valuable lesson to be learned from all of this..."

"Cope with your defeat. You never stood a chance in the face of the Hierarchy."

"They are coming. The New Age will arrive no matter what..."

Defeat: "Ultimately, this won't change the result of the passage of eras. Congratulations, regardless."

"Was... Was it all a lie?!"

"And now, my spirit will drift back to them... I hope..."

Defeat by Noble Phantasm: "This will be your own undoing...!"

Noble Phantasm Activation: "You have asked for this lesson. What is them to give is theirs to take. Lemuria rises from the sea, the Hierarchy sinks it back from the sky, and this Earth shall burn! Sanat Kumara!

Extra Dialogue:

"You don't know anything yet! Your path has just started! No! It's more like it was truncated short!" (When you have Caster, Rider or Archer Helena Blavatsky).

"Such a perfect existence. Come with me. I need to study you, in body and soul." (When you have Lancer or Saber Karna or Archer Arjuna).

"No, this won't do. It's a complete corruption of the proper course of events! A disgrace!" (When you have Moon Cancer Jinako/Ganesha).

"Ah, Mr. Edison. What is with that reaction? I'm still the same you knew, right?" (When you have Caster Thomas Alva Edison).

Birthday: "Is this a special day for you? Hm! If you would like, we could explore the means to alter reality so every day is such as this. After this, every day is one of death and reborn of the self, in a way, when you are in a constant pilgrimage of self discovery."

Event: "Take my hand. I will guide you through this bazaar. Look carefully, and learn all I'm going to teach you, fu fu."

Holy Grail: "Surge. Raise. Come on your own will to my hand, obey our word..."
