[hider=Assassin of the Forge] [b]Name[/b]: Weyland, aka “The Smith”, “Prince of the Elves”, “The Supreme Smith of the Gods” [b]Class[/b]: Assassin [b]Appearance[/b] [center][hider=Weyland] [img]https://i.imgur.com/3pw1SE2.jpg[/img] [/hider][/center] [b]Personality[/b]: A stout and dedicated hero who takes pride in his smithing skills, working with a passion that even as a servant has not deteriorated one single bit. He enjoys putting his craft to the test in competitions of craftsmanship, such as making Mimung to defeat and kill a lying blacksmith in a competition, though outside of certain people or certain conditions he doesn’t make things “for free”. He does seem to care about his family as well, though, enough so to arm and equip his son when he came of age...and also not hold a grudge nor anger against his Valkyrie wife even well after she had left him. Overall it could he said he is a relatively peaceable, hard-working, and competitive fellow whose dedication to his work shines through in the raw quality of his craft. However, the man also has an anger like none other if someone managed to stoke it. Revenge is something that can seethe in him down to his bones, though he will take time to plan out and execute such schemes to even a cruel extent. After seducing the daughter of King Niðhad (who had been promised to him originally along with half the kingdom), as well as slaughtering and crafting items out the remains of the king’s sons, he then flew over using magical wings he had craftred for escape to personally brag about his deeds to the evil King Niðhad. In other words, double-crossing him and cheating him and treating him very badly is a sure way to bring out the worst in Weyland. [b]Stats[/b]: Strength: B Endurance: B Agility: D Mana: B Luck: C Noble Phantasm: C+ [b]Class Skills[/b]: [i]Presence Concealment[/i]: C -is the capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. It is a common Class Skill of the Assassin class. Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. The rank of Presence Concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack. [b]Personal Skills[/b]: [i]Enticement of Gold[/i]: C++ -The ability to lure and entice others into a trap or ambush, whilst making one's presence fail to register as hostile and be misunderstood as “harmless” in the process. It is a form of mental attack on the target when used, and in application allows the wielder to manipulate victims verbally to perform actions with (in this case) promises of treasures and wealth. Any physical impairments or “weaknesses” the wielder visibly has, such as crippled legs or the like, can increase the effectiveness of this skill. Weyland the Smith, after his legs had been maimed, was most infamously able to use his skills to secretly lure in the sons of the king that had imprisoned him. He did this with sweet promises of treasure, and when these sons arrived secretly (as he had requested them to do) they were swiftly dispatched in a surprise attack. Whilst this feat alone isn’t normally a very high rank, though not useless, Weyland’s maimed legs and inability to walk strengthens the effects of this skill in application normally. Further, if Weyland’s true name is known to a given target the effectiveness of this skill rises due to his reputation as “a great hero who makes legendary treasures”. However, handing out one’s true name comes with its own repercussions as well... [i]Forge of Legend[/i]: EX -The legendary smithing skills of Weyland, the “Supreme Smith of the Gods” himself whose skills wrought out many Noble Phantasms for the gods and mortal hands. His works are themselves naturally Noble Phantasms, in other words, which all became disseminated out to be wielded by others in their respective legends. From magic rings, to Beowulf’s armor, to multiple legendary swords like Gram and Balmung handed out by the gods or others, these skills are an inseparable part of Weyland that he is infamous for as a heroic spirit. However, due to not possessing his legendary forge as a Noble Phantasm outside of the Caster class, the speed of his work is distinctly inferior when he is summoned under the Assassin class container. [i]Divinity[/i]: D -Weyland is of mixed birth, bearing elfish, jotun/sea-jotun, and even the blood of a minor sea spirit or possible mermaid (Wachilde) flowing within him. Only certain details seem clear among his legends, but one thing that is for sure is that he was part-human. This skill itself can be considered the summation of his ultimately strange and confusing bloodline. [b]Noble Phantasm(s)[/b]: [i]Name[/i]: Uudistettu liha, “Transformed Meat, My Revenge Made Complete!!!” [i]Rank[/i]: C+ [i]Type[/i]: Anti-Unit [i]Range[/i]: - [i]Maximum Number of Targets[/i]: 1 [i]Appearance[/i]: An exertion of Weyland’s inhuman and even magical smithing skills for the purpose of murder, used to transform the remains of King Niðhad’s sons (whom he slew in secret) into masterful and valuable, yet macabre, items he sent to the rest of hte royal family. Most infamous among the things he fashioned from them are the goblets he created from the skulls of the two sons. They were the flesh of his enemies themselves reshaped to his will and liking. This is the form this Noble Phantasm itself takes, being a crystallization of the deadly murderous act that was done in the shadows. [i]Effects[/i]: Weyland merely has to extend a hand towards the target, and speak the true name of this Noble Phantasm in order to use it. The target’s body is then forcibly crushed, distorted, and eventually reformed into a bloody skull goblet, this being a gruesome, painful, and ultimately very lethal process that is imposed upon the target on all levels (mental, physical, and otherwise) to entirely reshape them at their core. One can consider it a very frightening Noble Phantasm in that regard, as it is an action “entirely focused on reforging the target” into something else by attacking their very being in multiple ways and on multiple levels (mental, physical, and spiritual levels all being accounted for). Normal humans and magi stand no chance against it, though servants are another case altogether. Any servant can actively exert themselves to resist the effects of this Noble Phantasm (albeit having to put active and properly serious focus into it), with individual skills like Battle Continuation or skills that preserve the state of the body or mind being additionally very useful in assisting one’s survival in part whilst resisting. However, even if a servant or other powerful creature manages to resist the full “goblet-ification” process and not outright die, there are still the multiple levels of damage to account for. This is because this Noble Phantasms’s multi-pronged attack even affects them as deeply as their Saint Graph in its application. The weaker the target is as well, such as having taken damage to their bodies and their core, the naturally harder it becomes to resist this Noble Phantasm’s effects. Further, the modifier for this Noble Phantasm applies and boosts its power when used against those of “royal blood”: aka kings and princes and princesses and their ilk as this feat was originally targeted against during Weyland’s lifetime.
