Let me drop a Roma on you.

[hider=Saber!][b]Name:[/b]Publius Horatius Cocles
[b]Title:[/b]One Eyed Man/Cocles. Bravery Made Flesh.
[b]Class:[/b]Saber
[b]Allegiance:[/b]Lawful Good

[b]Appearance:[/b] A one-eyed man beautiful in form as though sculpted from marble to look like an ideal warrior. His appearance is obviously not that of his proportions or appearance in life as he takes the form of the form of courage for Rome. Finally his head is that of a Lion. A singular all-encompassing eye that stare with a judging and evaluating gaze stands out among his face while his mane is kept well in order, large and contrasting with his hairless body. A crown evocative of the murals of Rome blends with his fur, strands wrapped around it as though muscles around a skeletal frame. The military symbol of protection as such seems as though it is born of Saber’s body himself. He is a beauty made and crafted, shaped by the virtue he exhibited and his legend, not born. His eyes hold a fire and his lip parts easily in great emotion. Holding a Gladius and a rounded brass shield it is quite easily deductible that he is of the Rome. For garb he prefers something less constricting, a well plumed helmet that declares his presence boldly, adjusted to fit his new head. A thin simple cloth through his body shows covering his chest with a harness from which he hangs anything he must keep on hand that cannot simply be materialized. 
    
[b]Stats[/b]
[b]Strength: [/b]A
[b]Endurance:[/b] A+
[b]Agility:[/b] C
[b]Magic:[/b] B
[b]Luck: A+ [/b](Defiance of the inevitable fate that comes with such a glorious last stand. In a way he proves himself superior to those with similar legends by not only accomplishing what he set out to do, but also surviving to enjoy the glory he has earned. The doubled modifier comes in effect during similar such circumstances of fate that must be defied or when Saber struggles against a seemingly lost cause.)

[b]Class Skills:[/b]

[b]Magic Resistance:[/b] B 
Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for Saber to be affected.

[b]Riding:[/b] C rank
Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts. Because he does not have an anecdote of riding anything special or worth mentioning, he receives a low rank in this Skill for a Saber.

[b]Personal Skills:[/b]

[b]Symbol of Bravery:[/b] A+ 
A skill born of a combination of Innocent Monster and Bravery.
 
Known as a paragon of Bravery, Horatius is one of the symbols of Roman Bravery and could even be said to be that which personifies it. Earning the status with valour in battle and sacrifice for the sake of Rome he  held the bridge for the sake of the republic and the soldiers of his army. Horaitus fought in defense alone, fighting to allow other soldiers to escape then bidding those with him to tear down the bridge behind him for Rome's sake.
 
Prevents effects from mental interference, and changes his appearance to that of a lion. A peerless paragon, a personification of the virtue. Servant Saber cannot be cowed or be ruled by fear or madness. STR and END are increased due to Lions being a symbol of power. Additionally the connotation of execution through means of being fed to lions being a part of common perception of Rome adds the property of “Damnatio ad Bestias”  to Saber, causing him to deal additional damage to those of an evil alignment, and Christians as an executioner. This effect is weakened against saints to who are attributed tales of pacifying lions or subduing them when faced with such executions.
 
Finally one of the key points of his legend is that his bravery shone in the midst of cowardiace and fear. Where he stood two other men joined him, struck by shame as they saw the proud and unrelenting figure of the courage of Rome. In the face of such bravery one's own lack is sorely felt. Those around him are given Courage (False) at a C+ rank, allowing for mental interference that would have succeeded to instead be resisted, or for already established mental interference to be negated, at the cost of lowering morale. While it only is a sense of shame that is able to protect against effects of the C rank or below rank, the + modifier applies during effects of Fear, allowing one to stand up to effects of up to a A rank. Although unlike the certain cry of a Amazonness that evokes the blood of a war god that also provides Bravery it is sometimes possible for the sense of shame to linger beyond the presence of Saber. Shame is a bitter, painful thing, something that stains one pride and sinks deeply. As such presented with such a situation again the sense of shame may also reignite, bringing forth to stand against opposing effects even without Saber's presence.
 
To have to be reminded of courage and shown to stand up firmly by another is likely even greater a shame for those who are heroes, yet the role of Saber is he who represents and shows courage. Is it not natural for him to shine as the brightest star in that situation then?

[b]Protection of Genius:[/b] B
Spirits that reside within and protect a river, mountain and other places of nature, spirits that protected households, nations, specific positions, or even individuals. In a sense a spirit is that which protects, even something as specific as one’s morality or ideals, as shown through Socrates’s demon that he cites as a voice that forbids him from certain actions in his Apology. Even certain individuals can form a Genius, and positions, as such the idea of a servant forming a Genius of sorts not unfound.    

As an existence is a protection, and given the role of being the guardian spirit of his master, Saber takes upon the role of a shield for his master.

As this familiar who is meant to watch over and protect his master, through the means of Tutelary assumption of the position of his master’s servant, Saber is able to give his protection to his master, offering his body to protect his master from blows in a protection similar to the recreation of a certain warrior monk’s body. However this is not a Noble Phantasm, but rather an approximation given form by the status of a spirit that defends the master. It is a dual existence with Saber, causing him to suffer the damage and effects of anything he blocks. 

While a seemingly extremely powerful defense, it is one that is activated by the Master themselves, wielding Saber as though they were their weapon, and as such cannot protect the master against effects that they do not choose to defend against, or attacks that they are unaware of. Furthermore even as a Heroic Spirit who is famed for defense and a servant with high defensive capabilities this defense nevertheless causes damage, and could be fashioned into a weakness by forcing Saber into a fight while also protecting his master from harm by offering himself as a sacrificial shield, or by targeting the master with effects that would be dangerous or crippling to Saber. It is also worth noting that it also increases the energy consumption of Saber to manifest this protection.

Essentially a skill that protects the master, but also leaves the master as a potential risk as a proxy for means to harm Saber. 

There is a requirement to establish such a connection, as despite being related this is not synonymous with the contract between Servant and Master.

[b]Battle Continuation:[/b] B+ Fighting on until the bridge was dismantled so the enemy could not advance. Horatius  then managed to even swim away under the barrage of enemy missiles despite taking injuries that would maim and cripple him, escaping in a way that the enemy could not follow.

This reduces the hampering effect of  heavy and medium injuries, as though they were medium and light injuries, and makes light injuries a non-factor in effecting the combat capabilities of the servant. Even in a extremely wounded state Saber can continue to fight, although with reduced performance.

Furthermore a decisive fatal blow is required for death to encroach upon the servant. Death can be staved away and ignored for a short time should fatal damage be sustained, although for a shorter time than a A rank Battle Continuation holder.

The ability to retreat from battle even when injured is also increased. The + additional bonus is occurred for the sake of retreating via the method of water, allowing one to travel through bodies of water without penalty. Rather than a property that is part of Saber’s own capabilities this is more representative of the assumed mercy of Tiberinius, the Genius of the Tiber River who has a history of spiriting away and helping those in need at his River. As such one could say it is akin to a minor blessing from an elemental.


[b]Noble Phantasms:[/b]

[b]Virgultum Ēnūtriēns Arma (Sapling’s Nurturing Shield) - Let my body raise you safe and well.[/b]
[b]Anti-Unit(Self)/Barrier:[/b] A+ rank.
[b]Targets: [/b]1
[b]Range: [/b]—

If the great Roman Empire at its height was the Great Tree that is represented by the spear of the founder, Romulus, then the body of Coceles is a shield that protects and nurtures the infant sapling that was the Roman Republic that would become the Great Tree. If Rome is the world then protecting Rome is equal to protecting a world.

Saber’s existence itself is the Scutum of Roma. It is because of Saber that Rome survived its infant state to become the empire it was destined to be. Akin to a hero who was a divine construct of the gods, this Noble Phantasm born of the sublimation of Saber’s status as the protector of Rome transforms him into a shield. When he fought he offered his very body as the protection of his nation, and so it is his body that takes the form of this Noble Phantasm, a psuedo-Divine Construct. Forming a great shield formed out of growing wood, it is a defense that can defend even a nation. However damage done to the shield is carried over to Servant Saber, and an attack that can “bring ruin” to a nation would leave him ruined in body and weakened. Such a shield would be shattered and even if Saber were to recover this Noble Phantasm would be destroyed and sealed.

[b]Natus ex incrementum in Aprilis Legionum (Growth Born From The March of Legions) [/b]
[b]Anti-Army: [/b] A+
[b]Targets: [/b]1-50
[b]Range: [/b]1-45

Another side of the sublimation of his status as a shield and defender of Rome and the one who allowed it to grow from its infant republic state to the all-encompassing empire of man. This is akin to another side of the same legend, like how a certain casuality-defying spear would become a thrown weapon that decimates armies.

Rather than a encroaching and overwhelming ocean of tree roots and branches like the founders spear of the beginning. It is more akin to the I of the original sin's ring of light.

Both utilizing the concept and converting the history of the growth of the Roman Empire, and its legions that both expanded and protected it into energy. It is an attack that creates a massive barrage of projectiles (Legions) that chase and hunt down those under its purview. While in raw power it is somewhat inferior in raw power in comparison to the greater holy and demonic swords of myth, the full sum of the hundreds of blasts can also form a projection of a massive lion’s head that could almost match them. If divided each blast is not enough to slay sturdy servants by their own, but the danger of this attack is in its versatility and the difficulty against defending such a strike. (By no [definitely is] means this is a rip off of the Lion’s Howl from the Tales series.)    

Just as Rome grows and encompasses the world and humanity it is an attack that reaches all. The growth and unification of humanity. A growth that will consume and intake all that is within humanity's perception and world. It goes without saying that those existences who are beyond humanity's ability to understand or take in are existences that this Noble Phantasm cannot touch at all

[b]Legend: [/b]An officer of the Roman Republic army in the late 6th century BC, a hero of the war against the Etruscians under Lars Porsena. It was at the battle for Pon Sublicius that he distinguished himself. Holding geat numerical superiority, the sheer presence of the Etruscian army cowed the Roman soldiers who did not even resist the Etruscian's preparations and setting of formations before them. After the Etruscians advanced, hoping to force a battle the already frightened Romans broke without even a single blade crossed. They ran for the bridge hoping to cross to save their own lives in a blind panic, not even thinking to oppose them. Finding such behavior to be deplorable, Horatius shamed two generals who turned to flee as well and enlisted them into holding the bridge to let the fleeing roman army pass. The three held off the great army until every soldier had crossed.

The only one with courage in the entire army, even when the generals called upon him to retreat now that the army had crossed he refused, citing the fact that the Etruscians could simply cross and advance without delay into Roman Lands. He called upon them to tear down the bridge and prevent the enemy from crossing. Although alone he fought and fought until finally he heard a shout that the work to destroy the bridge was done. He lept into the river below and swam, escaping with his life, his strength not leaving his arms despite his injuries. Finally he was taken to Rome, greeted by singing and admiration by the entire city. He was celebrated and awarded,and so despite his injuries, despite him throwing himself to certain doom he came out with a happy ending, having saved Rome from a sacking and allowing the city to survive. In a way he could be called the savior of the empire that was still in it's cradle, the republic that would grow to become the great civilization.[/hider]
