Description This one was easy to make, and not at all easy to comprehend. Seriously, Indian mythology is weird, and Fate series made it weirder.

(the following is a description written by an idiot who does not understand Fate lore, you've been warned)

Kama here is supposed to have been a dude (even by Fate lore, apparently) that pissed off Shiva the destroyer and got incinerated to ashes, but then got turned into a Force ghost, and then transfered into the body of Sakura Matou as an Almost-Servant while she was having her Ahriman prangs, and along the way Kama went from being a child to adult to Bra**ers, then along the way also turned herself into a Beast Class and devoured the entire rest of the Hindu pantheon, then made a labyrinth out of ghosts, got banned for tax evasion, and was then defeated by, and my memory goes sideways here, either Parvati or Kiara. So that was the Boss when you fight him, and then it was the Boss when he joins your party, you know how that trope goes.

So, anyway, we're dealing with an Indian deity, and one that has apparently decided to represent the entire Indian pantheon, and while there are several archetypes that feature some Buddhist and Hindu elements, the one that incorporates the most of the Hindu bestiary is the alarmingly bizarre Cubic series. This archetype is weird for several reasons, first and foremost because the monsters are for the most part not even cube-shaped (the name actually alludes to the dimensional directions, not the shape of a cube per say), also most monsters don't depict the intended Hindu deities propertly, or don't depict them at all instead make them look like eyeball machines, then there's the fact they introduce "Dimension Summoning" in the Darkside movie, which isn't even a new mechanic but merely an adaptation of Duelist Kingdom rules, then bends those rules anyway by introducing non-Xyz Overlay Units (in the movie, the TCG thankfully makes this more clear), and while they are meant to be used by the main antagonist in an era where all legacy cards received new support, they still come up as clunky and mostly irrelevant with the exception of Crimson Nova Turbo. So, yeah, it's a mess of an archetype, but it also a mess of a Servant, so I'd say it fits. It's a real shame I couldn't find an archetype that incorporates the concept of "love" the same way as some of the deities from this series, because that seems to be an important theme in Grand Order.
