“Tell me Monsieur Liszt …are you familiar with Cantarella”

Inspired by dialogue from Shoujo Kakumei Utena ep.37

//I once said sooner or later I’ll have to draw LisztCho right? Now it happened

FGO OC FRYDERYK CHOPIN

Ideas for characters live in my head rent free since idk when so it's time to finally do it. Sorry for the cringe but also not sorry. I am not mastermind when it comes to technicalities of the game, tho.

Background: polish composer born on 22nd February (or, as another sources claim, 1st March) 1810. One of the most prominent composer of Romantic period. Living in France for 18 years, he lead life of young celebrity, was supported financially by his admirers and formed friendships especially with another composer, Franz Liszt. Had a tumultuous relationship with his wife George Sand, a writer and in his youth he was in love with his friend, Tytus, which can be read in his letter to him.

Over 230 works of Chopin survived; some compositions from early childhood have been lost. All his known works involve the piano, and only a few range beyond solo piano music, as either piano concertos, songs or chamber music. He was heavily influenced by Polish folk music but also classic composers like Bach. His speciality were mazurkas (in polish sing. mazurek, plur. mazurki) and nocturnes.

Chopin died at age 39 of pericarditis and tuberculosis.

Character personality: wishes to come across as calm and collected as he is melancholic type of lad but he's all sorts of emotional, not afraid to faint theatrically nor to throw hands in the most dandy fashion. May not seem like it but he's strong willed and dedicated to music, as he was a young boy he trained himself to cover 10 piano keys with one hand by stretching his fingers with wooden blocks (painful!). Very polite and soft-spoken, quite a bookworm.

Alignment: lawful neutral

Gender: male

Height, weight, general looks: 172 cm, around 60kg idk I'm not good with such numbers. Thin, pale man who blushes easily wether it is from embarrassment, passion or anger. Hair in cool shade of brown, dark-colour eyes.

Servant Class: caster

Class skills: territory creation: dreamy effect of inviting enemies and allies to his childhood house in Żelazowa Wola that lulls the first ones to sleep and boosts morale of the companions with it's idyllic charm.

Personal skills:

Of course I can imagine him being able to throw charm on the opponent so they don't harm him, so that's it. Call it "Ballade No.1 Op.23"

"Serce Chopina" (Chopin's heart) – add HP and NP points for yourself and your allies. The name is tied to the fact that his heart was brought by his sister to Poland and put inside the wall in church of Saint cross in Warsaw.

"Nocturne No.2 Op.9" – curse one of the enemy for 2 turns, stunning them

Noble Phantasm: "Revolutionary Etude" (op.10 no.12 in c minor playing in the background) – I imagine Chopin more of a healer so it definitely gives strength to his allies. Come back later maybe I will edit this and add more details. I imagine this kinda like this but not at the beach maybe...

On Bond 4 he let's you call himself Frycek, the nickname only his closest ones used.

On Bond 5 he tells you how cruel Liszt once cruelly gave a cruel concert in dark room to trick the audience into thinking he's Chopin because "everyone can play like Chopin". At the end of the dialogue, I can imagine him dropping on the chaiselongue dramatically.

I'm not very good at drawing but I tried to give him perfectly balanced look of "I'm trying to be calm and collected but I'm also raging bisexual" – shimmering vest and possibly white or brown jacket with wings/feathers, I haven't thought of the colours much.

Other ideas that may be published: Poniatowski | Chmielnicki | Skłodowska-Curie | Twardowski/Twardowska I haven't decided yet |

Ok i decided to write some of my chopin/poland headcanons

They met by chance at the Warsaw Old Town Market Place in August 1826. Frederick was 16 years old and he recently graduated from lyceum. Feliks was selling apples (after partitions everything was taken from him, so he had to a lot of work). And Poland was Frycek's first love lasting a lifetime.

Before that Frycek met Poland in his childhood, and thought Feliks was an angel. And after many years, he recognized him and fell in love.

They both were bisexuals, moreover, Felix ever liked women more (Frederick was an exception), but they don't liked him seriously.

Poland sang beautifully and inspired Frederick with his folk tunes. Actually, they a lot of engaged music together. Frederick taught Felix a to play the piano and they often went to opera and concerts.

Feliks admitted his lover that he is a country and a lot of told Frycek about his history.

Feliks was more active, perky, naughty, he could cheer up his lover, calm. Frederick was more dreamy, sometimes sad, quiet, although he happily took part in all Feliks' mischiefs. In many ways they were similar, both loved to joke, talk about everything.

Overall they had a tender relationship, they kissed a lot, hugged, made love and friended with each other, but it was a mystery to everyone. Not to say that they didn't quarrel at all, but the quarrels were completely stupid.

They really spent a lot of time together. Feliks knews Frederick's family and friends, often was in Chopin's home. And his sister Emilka really liked Feliks.

After Frederick left Warsaw, they corresponded until the end of his life. When he bequeathed his heart to Warsaw, it was a kind of gesture of love for Poland (Feliks).

Unfortunately, after 1830 they never met.

(Just a picture so that you understand what it is all about)

[pol-ski]

“Polish families subsequently coming to Paris were eager to know him, and by preference he regularly associated with a group predominantly consisting of his compatriots. Through them he remained informed about all that was happening in his country and in addition maintained a kind of musical correspondence therewith. His patriotism was revealed in the direction his talent followed, in his choice of friends, in his preference for pupils.”
