So it seems we don't have a main thread yet, so I'm stuffing my Hassan here for everyone to criticize, analyze, or whatever. [hider=Assassin] [B]Class:[/B] Assassin [B]Master: [/B] [B]True Name:[/B] [url=http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan-i_Sabbah]Hassan-i-Sabbah the First[/url] [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Alignment:[/B] Lawful Evil [B]Appearance:[/B] [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=791223]Looks like a Hassan, smells like a Hassan, sounds like a Hassan, so it must be a Hassan![/url] [B]Personality:[/B] Assassin is absolutely wicked cultured. Having been educated in subjects such as philosophy and warfare tactcs, he prefers to take the role of a teacher as he had in life, using his cunning and talent for speech in order to convert others to his cause and have them deal with whatever obstacles lie in his path, rather than get his hands dirty himself. While it seems like he might have a bit of an ego, it's quite the opposite. Sure he's confident in his own skills, but he isn't arrogant. He prefers to be humble, as pride usually comes before the fall and someone who doesn't go around bragging about their skills tends to be much more subtle, all things considered. [B]Stats:[/B] Strength: C Endurance: C- Agility: A+ Magical Energy: C Luck: A Noble Phantasm: B+ [B]Class Skills:[/B] [u]Presence Concealment[/u] the capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. [indent][b]A+:[/b] It is possible to disappear completely and become almost impossible to be detected. However, efficiency will decrease once preparations to attack are taken.[/indent] [B]Personal Skills:[/B] [U]Projectile - Daggers[/U] The expertise for throwing projectile weapons; in this case, daggers. [indent][b]A:[/b] At this rank, thrown daggers are propelled at speeds sufficent to give even the fastest Servants trouble.[/indent] [U]Charisma[/U] The natural talent to command an army. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. [indent][b]B:[/b] This rank is suitable for the founder and leader of a fanatical religious order.[/indent] [U]Soul of a Martyr[/U] A mental protection that negates mental interference through firmness of faith. [indent][b]C+[/B][/indent] [B]Noble Phantasm:[/B] [u]Zabaniya: Delusional Loyalty[/u] [i]B+, Anti-Unit[/i] A crystallization of Assassin's uncanny ability to convert large groups of people into the infamous congregation of fanatics willing to obey all of his commands up to, and including, giving their lives for him, the Order of Assassins. By initiating eye contact with those who do not possess magical resistance of any sort, Assassin can convert them into something not unlike a familiar without them being aware of the fact. He is able to see through their eyes, give them orders, or even take direct control of them. Additionally, if he has taken direct control of one of his subjects, that person possess the conversion capabilities of this Noble Phantasm, allowing for the rapid spread of Assassin's enchantment. This enchantment cannot be detected by modern magi, and in tandem with its rapid expansion, can allow Team Assassin to have a reliable information network to spy on other Master-Servant pairs and scout out the area. The maximum amount of sleeper agents is 150 at a time. [/hider] I imagined him being like the Gilgamesh of the Assassin class, what with being the original 'n' all, so I included above average Assassin stats in the package as well as a buffed Projectile - Daggers so he could feasibly fight on even grounds against an 'average' Servant. The rest of the skills wouldn't need too much of a stretch to justify:[list][*]A+ Presence Concealment is an Assassin staple, so naturally he'd get it[/*][*]B Charisma because, while he isn't necessarily a 'king' (unless you want to call him the King of Assassins or something), he was well liked throughout most of the Middle East in life and led a rather... :airquote dedicated :airquote cult, but he also wasn't the most popular guy in the world so he doesn't get A[/*][*]Soul of a Martyr because I couldn't use Protection of the Faith since Hassan wasn't a martyr, and despite the name, Soul of a Martyr doesn't mention anything about actually having to have been martyred, just apparently having strong religious dedication, which Hassan had. It's C+ because he never actually had to go through too much trial and tribulation for his faith, but was really pious and was instrumental in the martyrdom of many of his followers.[/*][/list] As for Delusional Loyalty... I'm still iffy on the Noble Phantasm, since it seems too much like Hundred Faced Hassan's Delusional Illusion but... Better I guess? But I really couldn't find anything else significant the original had that I could feasibly make into an NP, so I took his ability to make fanatical devotees that would obey every command and ran with it. Though this time he uses his eyes to convert them, rather than a hallucinogenic substance, because according to canon, a Zabaniya NP apparently requires a bodily alteration of some sort. Plus there's that Middle Eastern belief about evil eyes, so it makes enough sense I suppose. Though that brings up the (rather inconsequential) question, would I have to add the Mystic Eyes skill? BUT ANYWAY.... If nobody likes/approves of 'im I can probably use a different Heroic Spirit.
