I don't usually post works in progress, but since nobody has posted a Servant yet I guess I'll be the first. It's just his stats and skills right now for the most part, plus his Noble Phantasm. Let me know if he looks too powerful/not powerful enough and I'll make some changes. [hider=Ajax, Son of Telamon] [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SEAS0doH7pA/WTyLBOFE15I/AAAAAAAA7j8/TiglqWqMMTgWzSaNlLgSO1a8vCw0ygSMwCJoC/w530-h707-n/Ajax.jpg[/img] [b]True Name:[/b] Ajax Son of Telamon [b]Aliases:[/b] Ajax the Great, Ajax the Greater, Telamonian Ajax [b]Class:[/b] Shielder [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Height:[/b] 7’ 1” [b]Weight:[/b] 309lbs [b]Alignment:[/b] Lawful Neutral [b]Wish for the Grail:[/b] WIP [b]Personality:[/b] WIP [b]Background:[/b] WIP [b]Stats:[/b] Strength – A Endurance – A Agility – B Magical Power – C Luck – D Noble Phantasm – A [b]Class Skills:[/b] Name – Self-defence Shield Rank – A Description – A class skill of the Shielder class that exhibits its power when protecting allies or an allied camp. Does not provide complete protection but instead extends a damage reducing power to all allies or allied fortifications in its range. Ajax himself is not included as a target. Known for his large shield and defensive abilities, during the Trojan War it was often Ajax’s role to cover the retreat of his Achaean allies, holding back the enemy to give them time to escape the battlefield should their attack falter. He held back the Trojan armies many times during the war, often while greatly outnumbers, such as in his defence of the beached Achaean ships and assisting in the retrieval of Patroclus’ body. At its current rank this skill would allow Ajax to protect the entire front line of Achaean warriors as they fought. Name – Magic Resistance Rank – C Description – Though he lived in a time period where magic still held its ancient power and Gods routinely meddled in the affairs of men, Ajax did not encounter many mages during his life or even during the Trojan War and as such his magic resistance is low. [b]Personal Skills:[/b] Name – Combination Rank – D (With Ajax the Lesser)/ C (With Teucer) Description – Ajax fought alongside many great warriors during the Trojan, but his alliances with two in particular are noteworthy. Ajax often fought alongside Ajax the Lesser, and together both Ajax’s where known as the Aiantes; together they held off the Trojan soldiers allow time for Meriones and Menelaus carry the body of Patroclus from the battlefield after his death. It was also common for Ajax to be seen fighting alongside his half-brother Teucer. Ajax would use his magnificent shield to cover both of their bodies while Teucer fired arrows from his bow into the ranks of the Trojan army. Name – Instinct Rank – B Description – The ability to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because this Skill allows for the prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from firearms. Well versed in the ways of war and known for having a very high level of combat intelligence, Ajax possesses great instinct for battle that allowed him to avoid injury during the Trojan War despite being involved in many battles and even duels against other great heroes such as Hector. Name – Knowledge of Melees Rank – A Description – This skill is a methodology regarding crowd-combat in which friends and foes are all jumbled together. Not the ability to take command of a military force, but combat techniques to persevere as a single warrior within the troops of an army. Ajax often found himself on the front lines of battles, where it is difficult to discern friends from foe, or forced to face the enemy force alone. He is well familiar with battles of many against many and one against all. Name – Robust Health Rank – C Description – a Skill that are made up of anecdotes of "not receiving a wound on the battlefield" and "never becoming sick even once since birth". It is also a composite Skill and includes Poison Resistance. Ajax’s END stat is boosted by one rank and would be a B otherwise. Ajax received no injuries during the battles described in the Iliad, a fact that was equally attributed to his great skill as a warrior and also his large and powerful body. Name – Shield of Rousing Resolution Rank – A Description – A Skill that temporarily raises one's own defensive power and draws in an opponent's attack. It is only bestowed upon those who muster their courage and protect the back of those who egress before anyone else. While others attacked Ajax could often be found covering his allies retreat from the battlefield. He protected his allies as they retrieved the body of his fallen compatriot and often stood guard before his half-brother as he fired his bow; Ajax is not afraid to place himself in before his allies to protect them. [b]Combat Capabilities:[/b] Ajax’s fighting style is built around the proper utilisation of his oversized shield, using it to completely protect his body and neutralise his opponent’s offense while also seeking an opportunity to attack. Alongside his shield Ajax wields a colossal spear, which he uses in conjunction with his shield to pressure the opponent by using its long reach to threaten them from beyond the range of their own weapons while remaining protected. When defence must be sacrificed for offense, Ajax will move his shield to his back and wield his spear in two hands and fight much more aggressively, using long ranged thrusts and wide sweeping swings to overwhelm those who oppose him. [b]Noble Phantasm:[/b] Name – Rho Aias: Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens Rank – A Type – Bounded Field/Conceptual Weapon Range – N/A Maximum Target – N/A Description – The shield wielded by Ajax the Great during the Trojan War. It was a 1 and a half meter wide bronze shield covered in seven layers of ox hide over a layer of bronze that was the only defence capable of stopping Hector’s famed spear. Its existence was sublimated into a Conceptual Weapon that is said to be an absolute defence against any thrown weapon. In its greatest form, it is said to be seven flower petals made from light. It takes the form of a seven layered Bounded Field in the shape of an iridescent flower in reference to the rocket larkspur (Consolida ajacis) flower that bloomed from Ajax' blood as he died, with seven petals representing the seven layers of ox hide. Each flower petal layer has the defensive power of a fortress wall. It is necessary for its user to provide constant magical energy to form the shield, and if it is damaged, they will feel pain and receive damage in accordance. [/hider]
