[hider=The Dragon of Echigo][list][*][u]Name:[/u] Uesugi Kenshin
[*][u]Class:[/u] Rider
[*][u]Appearance:[/u] [url=https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2518239]The Dragon of Echigo.[/url]
[*][u]Personality:[/u] Kenshin is an honourable and noble samurai whose thirst for battle is matched only by her thirst for sake. Despite what many would expect from someone whose life involved solving most of her problems on the battlefield, she is also extremely idealistic and often tries to see the best in people. She will try to spare a wounded opponent if she doesn't believe they will be a threat again. She spent much of her childhood in a monastery, after which she was thrust into the public eye and forbidden from any romantic relationships, lest her disguise be revealed, as a result, she is largely oblivious to the idea of romance.

[*][u]Personal Skills:[/u]
[list][*][u]Tactics C++:[/u] Rider won numerous battles throughout the Warring States period and her tactics outsmarted some of the greatest warlords of the era. This skill provides bonus modifiers during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
[*][u]Divinity B:[/u] Rider is often regarded as the War God, Bishamonten's avatar or even as Bishamonten himself.
[*][u]Disengage A:[/u] This ability allows Rider to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat or reset the battle conditions. As well as returning disadvantageous battle conditions to their initial state, it also returns skill conditions to their starting value and compulsorily cancels several bad statuses.
[*][u]Ceremony of the Departure: A+++:[/u] A variant form of Charisma, by performing the ceremonial tasks she undertook before setting out to war, Rider is able to enhance the fighting ability of her allies. Due to the ceremony's dedication to Bishamonten, it provides further enhancement when faced with evil-aligned enemies.[/list]
[*][u]Noble Phantasm(s):[/u]
[list][*][u]Name[/u]: Bishamonten no Dai Keshin - Divine Retribution of the Dragon of Echigo
[*][u]Rank[/u]: A
[*][u]Type[/u]: Anti-Army
[*][u]Appearance[/u]: N/A
[*][u]Effects[/u]: As one who embodies the god Bishamonten, Rider's very existence is imbued with a divine magical energy. While normally it is not possible for her to directly channel this into an attack, she is capable of giving her very existence over to the purpose of "divine retribution" by invoking the name of the deity that her existence symbolizes. By doing this, her very being is wreathed in a burning cloak of divinity, a small fragment of the authority of Bishamonten. As one who lead many soldiers into battle on horseback, Rider expresses this divine retribution as a wave of magical energy that follows her as she makes a charge upon her horse. The destructive power is sufficient to turn the earth beneath it into glass, and opponents caught in the wave will most likely be annihilated. Additionally, foes who possess an existence that can be defined as 'evil' will receive damage of further intensity, burning them away without fail. This is the nature of the Dragon of Echigo's Retribution.[/list]
[list][*][u]Name[/u]: Ryu no Kamishiro: Kasugayama
[*][u]Rank[/u]: B
[*][u]Type[/u]: Bounded Field
[*][u]Appearance[/u]: Fully summoned, it is Kasugayama Castle in its entirety, a fortified Japanese Castle of immense size.
[*][u]Effects[/u]: This Noble Phantasm is Rider's seat of power in Echigo, a colossal and well-fortified castle. Due to its nature, it is difficult to properly summon the structure, as it requires a great deal of room in order to fully manifest, and the initial summoning requires a large amount of mana. However, portions of the castle, such as its walls, can be summoned on their own for use as a defensive barrier. A project personally pursued by Rider in life, her very existence as both a general and an avatar of Bishamonten is suffused within the fortress's structure. Fully summoned, it boasts a full compliment of servants and defenses. While there are no soldiers present, the walls can rain arrows down upon Rider's foes automatically, as if dozens of Archers were positioned across it. Additionally, enemies with an evil alignment will find their status hindered inside it, their ranking in Luck, Mana, and Endurance suffering a demerit.[/list]
[list][*][u]Name[/u]: Nagamaki: Loyal Guardians of the Dragon
[*][u]Rank[/u]: C+
[*][u]Type[/u]: Anti-Unit
[*][u]Appearance[/u]: A set of distinctive katana, numbering no less than four and no more then eight at any given time, with hilts nearly as long as their blades.
[*][u]Effects[/u]: The embodiment of Rider's loyal Nagamaki Guards. A set of four to eight swords that can be summoned at will by the Avatar of Bishamonten, this Noble Phantasm is comparable to an automated turret. The swords surround Rider and in their default state simply attack any threats that come within a meter of her. However, she is capable of assuming control of the blades and sending them, as projectiles, to attack more distant targets or attack rather than simply defend. These blades are especially sharp against foes of an evil alignment. In and of themselves, the blades are nothing particularly special. It is due to the diversity in their manner of use that they can be classified as a Noble Phantasm, in addition to the manner in which they symbolize Rider's legend. While the guardians that once protected her cannot be summoned, the swords reflect their loyalty by obeying her very thoughts.[/list]
[*][u]Alignment:[/u] Lawful Good
[*][u]Changes:[/u] Uesugi Kenshin was, according to a contemporary Japanese historian Tomeo Yagiri, a woman. A possible rationale for a female Kenshin living as a man is the fact that the leader of the clan had to be a man, or the shogun could divide up their lands and give them away. Evidence for this theory is that Kenshin had severe stomach cramps on a monthly basis around the 10th of the month. He actually programmed his military campaigns around that. The cause of Kenshin's death is recorded as a form of uterine cancer, by a doctor who made virtually no mistakes in the rest of the book it's written in. Kenshin was the only man allowed by the shogun to wander among his harem. Kenshin had a feminine appearance, had no children, and did not own a harem.[/list][/hider]
