For the 91249214948124th time I'll app my sword boi once again because I'm lazy Also I realized Saber Diarmuid is in this. [hider=Irish Excalibur] [center][img]https://i.ibb.co/0DQJ4Zd/image.png[/img][/center] [b][color=0054a6]Name[/color][/b]: Cu Chulainn, Child of Light, Hound of Ulster [b][color=0054a6]Class[/color][/b]: Saber [b][color=0054a6]Gender[/color][/b]: Male [b][color=0054a6]Alignment[/color][/b]: Lawful Neutral [b][color=0054a6]Attribute[/color][/b]: Sky [b][color=0054a6]Personality[/color][/b]: As a Saber, Cu Chulainn acts with more impulse than his Lancer counterpart, taking the role of a fierce knight who would fight viciously in order to seek glory and defend his Master. Like a guard dog, Saber fights with savagery that would liken him to a beast, willing to use everything at his disposal in battle as if he’s facing off against an entire army, being summoned as "the Hero who defended an entire nation". Despite this, Saber still carries a similar disposition that he has as a Lancer outside of battle, though he leans more towards seeking excitement wherever it may be found. At the same time, he would not do so if it meant that it would severely harm his Master, or if the act itself went against his own honor. In other words, life is short, and one should spend the time that one has to accomplish as much as one could. To Saber, there is never enough glory to obtain. [b][color=0054a6]Weapon[/color][/b]: Sword, Shield, Armor [b][color=0054a6]Parameters[/color][/b]: [color=0072bc]STR[/color]: [b]A[/b] [color=0072bc]CON[/color]: [b]B[/b] [color=0072bc]AGI[/color]: [b]B[/b] [color=0072bc]MGI[/color]: [b]C[/b] [color=0072bc]LCK[/color]: [b]E[/b] [b][color=0054a6]Class Skills[/color][/b]: [color=0072bc]Magic Resistance[/color]: [b]B[/b] Class Skill of the Saber Class. Grants protection against magical effects, cancelling spells cast on the wielder altogether. Cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High Thaumaturgy, it is difficult for this Servant to be affected. [color=0072bc]Riding[/color]: [b]A[/b] Class Skill of the Saber Class, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. All vehicles as well as all creatures aside from those of the Phantasmal and Divine rank can be used as mounts with expert proficiency. This rank is high enough to have aptitude in the Rider class. [b][color=0054a6]Personal Skills[/color][/b]: [color=0072bc]Rune Magic[/color]: [b]B[/b] The possession and aptitude with the utilization of runes. Cu Chulainn has the capacity to use the 18 original Runes (Norse Runes), granted by his mentor Scáthach from his studies with her, appropriately using them to respond in different situations. By making proper use of this, powerful and varied effects are mastered. Other than attacks, this is mainly employed for effects corresponding to the Skills Magic Resistance, Clairvoyance, for raising parameters to Rank A, etc. All of these applications are merely temporary and he cannot employ multiples of those simultaneously. Cu Chulainn’s aptitude as a magus is nearly first-rate, and while he would normally see such talents as a hindrance, because this variation of Cu Chulainn is one who has faced off against an entire army, even runes are something he’s more open to utilize more often. [color=0072bc]Protection from Arrows[/color]: [b]B[/b] The increased awareness and defense against ranged attacks. In Cu Chulainn’s case, it is blessing inherent from birth. It's said that it's possible for him to avoid any long range attack if he has made visual confirmation of his opponent, tracking down ranged weapons with his eyes and defend against them. He can deal with most projectiles even in conditions where the opponent cannot be visually seen. As long as the attack is a thrown type, he can avoid even Noble Phantasms, but he can't gain the effects of this protection with respect to wide range attack types where the attack range of the weapon explodes on impact, or a direct attack by a weapon that has simply long reach. [color=0072bc]Knight’s Tactics[/color]: [b]A[/b] A method of combat where one grasps the flow of battle and instigates the opponent to make a mistake, removing the difference of strength between one’s self and the opponent. Simply put, a skill that invites a check failure for the opponent. A heightened sense of observation used to obtain victory. Cu Chulainn single handedly defended Ulster from the armies of Connacht, invoking the right of single combat and successfully facing off against many of the opposing force's champions. [color=0072bc]Divine Body of the Sun God[/color]: [b]A+[/b] A condition unique to Cu Chulainn’s existence as Ireland’s Child of Light, son of the Sun God Lugh, born with a myriad of blessings, and destined to find fame and glory in battle in exchange for a short life. Among his many gifts, his greatest was his Hero’s Light, granted to him due to his divine heritage. When in combat as the battle proceeds, he would glow as if he were bathed by the sun itself. Should the odds continue to rise against him, however, he would only shine brilliantly against such opponents, the light surrounding him shining intensely enough to burn away at his opponent while invigorating himself. A skill that would represent Cu Chulainn’s legend as a likeness to a mighty flame that would burn out in a blaze of glory, should he also be dealt a lethal blow in combat, then his light would glow at its brightest, allowing him to deliver one last retaliating strike before finally fading away. [color=0054a6]Noble Phantasms[/color]: [b][color=0054a6]Cruaidin Catutchenn[/color][/b] [i][color=0072bc]Blazing Sword That Grants Certainty[/color][/i] Rank [b]C+[/b] Anti-Unit Range: [b]1~2[/b] Maximum Number of Targets: [b]1[/b] The famed sword of Cu Chulainn, said to be a flawless blade that shines brightly like a torch, further enhanced by the runes inscribed within its blade. While it isn’t as famous of a weapon as Cu Chulainn’s Barbed Spear That Pierces With Death, it is still the blade of the Hound of Ulster used to perform many feats of strength and skill. The most famous of these feats was the splitting of the Lia Fail, one of the Four Great Treasures of the Tuatha De Danann. Sporting a passive effect not too far apart from the Gae Bolg, the blade adds a slight deviation to the World, creating a situation where the target of the Cruaidin "can be easily cut." When the true name of this Noble Phantasm is invoked, the blade itself is engulfed by the Hero’s Light of Cu Chulainn, empowering its cutting power with its wielder’s glory and granting his next strike the ability to slice through even the strongest of defenses. It is a strike that is incapable of being resisted through any means, an intrinsic ability carried over by this blade’s true form mixed with the wielder’s own heart-piercing technique. [b][color=0054a6]Claidheamh Soluis[/color][/b] [i][color=0072bc]Shining Glaive That Brings Triumph[/color][/i] Rank: [b]A+[/b] Anti-Fortress Range: [b]1~80[/b] Maximum Number of Targets: [b]900[/b] One of the Four Great Treasures of the Tuatha De Danann, it is a Holy Sword that once belonged to the god Nuada, holding the phenomenon of a Hero’s Weapon as it has been cited in many tales involving the hero completing a set of trials and slaying monstrous foes in order to obtain the blade itself. Held in a similar light as the [i]Sword of Promised Victory[/i] of Britain, the Claidheamh Soluis is considered to be a symbol of Ireland, its brilliance ignited by the hearts of the whole country's citizens. The true nature of Cu Chulainn’s blazing sword, while the Cruaidin Catutchenn is considered to be “The Claidheamh wielded by Cu Chulainn”, this Noble Phantasm would be the legend of the Claidheamh itself. Due to its nature of a “sword that draws out heroes”, it is because of this sword’s nature that Cu Chulainn under the Saber class container manifests his Divinity in such an obscenely flashy manner. When the true name of the Claidheamh Soluis is invoked, the entire sword begins to surge with a blinding flare as Cu Chulainn’s Hero’s Light is drawn into the blade. Empowered by the tales of glory and valor brought to the many heroes who have wielded the Claidheamh before and after, the intense light surrounding the blade would begin to take a more tangible shape. In the hands of Cu Chulainn, the greatest hero of the Ulster, the light would take the shape of a mighty spear, the crystallization of Cu Chulainn’s own fame as a hero. However, the spear of light is only capable of being thrown once it’s created much to the dismay of its wielder. When thrown, its destructive power is comparable to that of nuclear fission, releasing a wave of obliteration centered on the point of impact. Aside from its extremely high cost, the use of this Noble Phantasm would leave Cu Chulainn in an exhausted state, unable to fully utilize his Hero’s Light for a significant amount of time. A star burns its brightest before it fades. [/hider]
