Of course you'd have the one Servant I never wanted to see again.

So you at least know the name, huh? Makes sense, I guess. She's pretty famous.

＠Kama
Oh, first time hearing her name?
[k]

＠Kama
Fine, I guess I can tell you about her. We all know how misery loves company.

[charaFace C 4]

Basically, she's Shiva's queen and another aspect of Pārvatī.

As I recall, although she is connected to Pārvatī, who is renowned for her grace and beauty, the two could not be more different.

Instead, I believe she is a goddess who symbolizes war and conflict.

Yup, that's her all right. She's basically made for combat. No...“combat” doesn't quite cover it.
[k]

＠Kama
She's made for completely annihilating her enemies.
[k]

＠Kama
Back in our time, there was this bunch of demon gods that was too much even for the regular gods to manage.
[k]

＠Kama
One day, when the gods had finally had enough, they came together to create someone who could completely annihilate the demons.
[k]

＠Kama
And Durgā was the result of that effort. Calling her bad news is wildly understating things.

[charaTalk B]

[charaFadein B 0.1 1]

＠Sion
They are an Extra Class of Servants.
[k]

＠Sion
Unlike an Alter, which changes a Heroic Spirit's way of being down to their abilities and personality...
[k]

＠Sion
...an Alter Ego could be seen as a Heroic Spirit's alternate personality being separated to form a wholly new Servant.
[k]

[charaFace B 2]

＠Sion
Using computer programs as an example, an Alter is like a different version number of a given program...
[k]

＠Sion
...and an Alter Ego would represent that program's systems being repurposed into a wholly new product.
[k]

[charaFace B 6]

＠Sion
Many Alter Egos became High Servants owing to the use of powerful beings like Divine Spirits to fill in the parts of their personalities which were left empty after their separation...
[k]

＠Sion
...but that is not a requirement.
[k]

Anyone can be an Alter Ego class as long as a different personality of theirs is the one in charge.

You may have gotten used to them at a certain point through sheer familiarity...
[k]

＠Rani-XII
...but from my perspective, Alter Egos seemed an especially mysterious class.
[k]

＠Rani-XII
It is very easy for any Servant to qualify as one...
[k]

＠Rani-XII
...and they depend far too much on internality and mentality that lack forms of their own.
[k]

[charaFace F 4]

＠Rani-XII
But then, I had an idea.
[k]

＠Rani-XII
If it's possible for an Alter Ego to be established just by having one aspect of a Servant's personality be in control...
[k]

＠Rani-XII
...then theoretically, it should also be possible for a single Servant to produce two Alter Egos.
[k]
