MILF Ingo

Oh Nooooo XD Not The Trainmaster!!! Tho I can def see that given the sheer whiplash that is anything to do with those things. Still can't believe they had a fucking comedy bit in the middle of The Foreign God Descending.

Hi!

Sorry it took so long to get you and answer! The Alter Ego part of this was really throwing me for a loop!

Thank you for the fun ask!

Ruler

So for Ruler, I thinking pure Warden Ingo. The guy that goes down in History as the person who helped train the Galaxy Team to better use their pokemon and could essentially outsmart and outcounter a lot of trainers.

As a servant I'm thinking he appears as a caster to most. Able to summon familars to aid him, and they always seem to pose a challenge. They aren't impossible to defeat. Just difficult. However, get him serious and he can crush you with a skillful combination of summons. I think in this form his main weakness would be that of his memory. He cannot recall friend from foe. He relies entirely on his Master to tell him which is which.

If he were summoned without a master though, I can see it being as a Servant to guard the Earth. Not so much humanity. He would stay out of the affairs that caused his Summoning for a long as possible. Watching and observing. He would be especially good as a judge for a standard Grail War.

For sure though his Noble Phantasm would be Path of Solitude. Cause what else would it be!

He can pop him and his opponent into a reality marble as they go through trial after trial, and maybe they are able to beat it. However the point of his NP isn't to damage. It is to wear his opponent down. To drag out a fight until they give up or they succeed depending on how determined they are.

Alter Ego

So the thing with these are that they focus on magnifying aspects of the person's personality. So since Ingo doesn't have too much information it was a bit tough to pin down a good concept for this.

I decided to go with the magnifying his idealization of progress and general optimism after going back through his voice and character lines from the games!

His Alter Ego I think would be a lilly version of him. Young and believing in the best of people and how far they can go. Likely the weakest form he can be summoned in outside of say assassin, I think his abilities would very much be support centered for this one.

Abilities that focus on buff himself and his allies or healing them when in need.

In terms of being part of any grail wars I think he would show up in bleaker settings. A ray of light to say there is more to this than meets the eye. His easiest match for a Master is a young mage trying to find their way forward. His hardest match would be one who thinks they have reached a peak in their craft and are unable to move on.

Anyways I don't see the twins as current Hashira but work as Cultivators instead. Or rather Kudari works as one, teaching new slayers and retraining older members. Those who go through his training typically don't die young as most of the corps tend to. They often make it into their 30's sometimes even late 40's and are able to even retire from the corps with most of their faculties intact.

He technically specializes in teaching water style, but it’s noted he's never exuded the aura of such despite having perfect technique as well as being able to dispatch demons without issue. This sparked Rumors that he was like Gyomei/Genya using something other than the breath styles to fight the demons. He laughs theses off and just says that water is a good place to start for most beginners. Sometimes his students see him teaching a other breath styles but it’s so rare that most thing it is also a rumor made up so that those who need more help and feel special.

Amongst the higher ups though they dislike that he has sidelined himself, especially since despite not producing the breath auras he's still able to easily dispatch powerful demons. Demons that have managed to gorge themselves on dozens of humans he can easily dispatch. If he were on the front lines many argue that they would have defeated Muzan already. But instead, he remains as a teacher, only answering mission calls that require a hashira but the others are too busy to take them on.

The thing is Kudari is young. He's in his 30's at the most. It makes very little sense for him to take on the role of cultivator. Those typically are older Hashira that have managed to retire. And yet there he is. One of the very few younger cultivators not brought low by injury on the job.

When asked why he retires so young but older students he gives a vague "I'm not as strong as I use to be" and no one is ever sure what he means by that except a select few.

What the younger slayers don't know is that he had a brother. And there's still legends about a pair a hashira that absolutely devastated when they get called to the field, granted they were normally called for fighting the moons or even mass outbreaks of demons as Muzan moved through an area trying to cover his tracks. In fact one legend even covers their supposed death. With it stating that on a route mission the two ran into Muzan and despite being unprepared and tired from previous battles attempted to take him on. And they almost succeeded too had Muzan not fought extra dirty, turning more and more of the towns folk into demons as they tried to flee the scene resulting in the two having to split from one another. The one was left to deal with the demonized townsfolk eventually cleared them all and ran to catch up with the other only to come to the scene of Muzan feasting on their corpse. And after that the other was turned into a demon, only they refused his influence and burned to ash in the morning light. Or so it goes. The story itself is meant an example of how powerful and cunning Muzan and be and how being a slayer you will have to lay your life on the line. And as the story gets retold who the pair are changes, from brothers to lover and even father and daughter. And the ending even changes from telling to telling but none the less most younger slayers walk away with the idea that even two almost legendary Hashira were bested my Muzan so they must stay on their toes.

Its Kudari's favorite story to tell his students.

And they were none the wiser to the fact that he spoke of himself and his brother Nobori. Who disappeared that night after going to confront Muzan. All he knows is that his blade had been shattered and there was no body in sight. Many speculated that he was eaten but Kudari thinks otherwise.

He suspects that Muzan wanted to test if he could turn a hashira and he might have succeeded.
