[@Parallel Hearts] I tried something a little different with this one. I still need to add a couple more personal skills but I'd appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know what you think. [hider=Archer Actaeon, Companion of Artemis] [b]Class:[/b] Archer [b]Name\Title:[/b] Actaeon [i]Companion of Artemis[/i] [b]Short Bio/Synopsis:[/b] The son of the priestly herdsman Aristaeus and Autonoe in Boeotia, Actaeon was a Theban hero who, like Achilles, was training by the centaur Chiron. He was a skilled archer and hunter and for a time was a hunting companion of Artemis, though it was far from an equal relationship as the hunter had to swear deference to the Goddess which was enforced by ritual. One day, while out hunting with his dogs, he came across the Goddess bathing naked in a spring and was so moved by her beauty that he approached her and tried to make himself her consort. Whoever Artemis rejected Actaeon and as revenge for seeing her naked and for transgressing the hunter’s sworn deference she forbade him to speak, warning him that he would be turned into a stag should he say a word. However upon hearing his dogs approaching he called out to them and was immediately transformed; seeing his reflection in the calm waters of the spring he saw what he had become and fled, pursued by his own hunting dogs who no longer recognised him. In a bid to save himself he raised his eyes towards Mount Olympus, but the Gods did not answer his plea and he was torn to pieces by his dogs. After his death his hounds were distraught and could not be consoled under Actaeon’s former teacher Chiron created a statue in his likeness so lifelike that the hounds thought it was Actaeon.

Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. • [b]Independent Action A:[/b] As a hunter Archer is used to acting alone, and being a Servant with low Mana requirements he is not particularly dependent upon his Master for support. With this skill it is possible to take action even without a Master. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master. [b]Personal Skills: [/b] • [b]Artemis’ Curse A:[/b] For the sin of seeing the virginal Goddess naked and the transgression of breaking his sworn deference to her for daring to ask to become her consort, Artemis forbade Actaeon from speaking. This curse persists even now; if he speaks he will be turned into a stag, losing access to all of his skills, and he will be hunted down by his own hounds once more. • [b]Art of the Hunter B:[/b] Once a hunter skilled enough to be a companion of Artemis herself, Actaeon knows well the abilities required to track and stalk prey. As a result, once he had set his sights on a quarry he is able to find and follow the faint traces left behind by his target as they move through the world and gains increased speed when moving in pursuit of his prey. • [b]Eye of the Mind (False) C:[/b] Time spent hunting all manner of creatures have honed Actaeon's intuition and danger sense to a keen edge and has sharpened his eyesight to be able to spot the slightest movement of both prey and predator. [b]Noble Phantasm: [/b] • [b]Name/Title:[/b] Kynigoús tou Kataraménou Kynigoú [i]Hounds of the Cursed Hunter[/i] • [b]Rank:[/b] B • [b]Type:[/b] Anti-Army • [b]Range:[/b] N/A • [b]Maximum Number of Targets:[/b] 50 • [b]Description:[/b] The hunter Actaeon used a pack of 50 extraordinarily skilled hunting hounds, from the swift Thoos (quickfoot) to the fierce Therodamas (Savage), each trained to aid him in his hunts, such as the skilled tracker Ichnobates (Tracer) or the cunning Poemenis (shepherdess). This Noble Phantasm allows Archer to summon his hounds to join the hunt once more. Though only normal hounds in life through being sublimated as a Noble Phantasm they have become entities equivalent to Monstrous Beasts, capable of threatening even Servants when put to the hunt.
