They have a mind and soul distant from humans as they attained a near-immortal body, and were even adopted by the Goddess Demeter. Caster is their most complete form, so they are a bit less active than in their Rider form- the sort of person who doesn't instigate problems, but will latch onto them if they pique interest. In that sense, Caster is comparatively lethargic for someone entering a death battle. Because she is a farmer Triptolemus prefers a simpler understanding of the world, and disdains petty grand philosophies as foolish- preferring to follow the natural maxims of the universe instead of anything conceited. Fundamentally she tends to advance her own interests, usually in discovering and investigating whatever that interest may be. By nature they are not haughty in a repulsive way, distancing them from the usual egotism. Or, better put, internally they are quite mature and thoughtful, even if the demeanor they tend to take is their definition of 'playful'. It is to be expected of the woman who coolly taught Heracles both the Mysteries and art of farming without a single issue. In other words, she is a terror probably better off not met. [/hider] [hider=Biographical] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptolemus [/hider] [b]Weapon:[/b] Divine Construct Parasol [b]Parameters: [/b] [b]STR:[/b] E [b]CON:[/b] D [b]AGI:[/b] C [b]MAG:[/b] A [b]LUK:[/b] A [b]Class Skills:[/b] [i]Territory Creation:[/i] - As a cost for acquisition of the Noble Phantasms, the 'Territory Creation' skill has been lost. [i]Item Creation:[/i] B+ A skill that produces devices which carry magical energy. These extend from implements of war to daily use items. Normally many different articles can be made at will. . . but for Caster her specialization(restriction) lies within the implements of the Mysteries, farming tools, the fruits of the earth, and other related articles. While it seems like the versatility of this skill is low, it is actually quite high by virtue of the 'processing' power of plant-life. Even the Seventh Faculty would be amazed, although that is perhaps a matter of course for a Mage from the Age of Gods. The colour of this magic can appear both light and dark; it is a matter of fundamental duality. [hider=Personal Skills] [i]Eleusinian Mysteries:[/i] A Ownership of the Magic Crest of Ancient Greece. Caster is the original practitioner of the Eleusinian Mysteries, so her ability has already surpassed the level of magical grimoire's and the like. Triptolemus was the first human granted wisdom by the Earth Goddesses. This knowledge included not only the sacred rites, but also the knowledge of farming and animal domestication which they spread across the globe. Within the legendary beginnings of the Hellas, the spread of this knowledge was the decisive point where humans rose above animals. The Mysteries are a sacred legacy passed to man by Potnia Theron, a scion of an archaic tradition that predates the concept of Greece by several thousand years. Using this knowledge, they became the Hierophant who took up the role of the Goddess' when the Mysteries were enacted. The owner of this skill is given a plus correction towards actions related to the Mysteries. [i]High Speed Divine Words:[/i] A A skill that assists magical incantations. Allows for the activation of magic without connecting the magic circuit. Even Great Magic may be activated within just a single action. It is a language from the Age of Gods, so modern humans cannot pronounce it. Caster was a magus taught by the Goddess Hecate and granted the Mysteries by Demeter and Persephone. By operation of the Eleusinian Mysteries, many astounding secret miracles may be recreated. [i]Presence Detection:[/i] A- Highest rank of Presence Detection ability. Using the Earth as a medium, it is possible to sense the presence of things at even long range. If the range is closer, it is possible to even nullify Presence Concealment and the like at an equal or lower rank. Caster was granted a divine perception from Demeter which allowed her to properly navigate and restore the world after it had become a lifeless wasteland. Not only that, but Triptolemus also searched the entirety of the planet for Io on behalf of the River God, Inachus. Because of her nature and abilities, Caster is especially aligned to this skills use. However in her specific case, efficiency will decrease when confronted with 'metamorphosis' of the highest grade. [i]Propensity of Demeter:[/i] B A skill denoting the possession(burden) of not only an immortal and divine form, but also the actualization of the Earth Mothers divine pulse. At the rank of A and above, it would be impossible to have the qualifications necessary to manifest as a servant within the Fuyuki Holy Grail system. In the case of Caster, she never attained a fully immortal body due to the actions of her mother. This skill is a modification furnished on the body, but by nature it also reflects on the owners mind. A sacred form, it is the embodiment of the episode in which Triptolemus was nursed by the great Goddess Demeter and then placed into a hearth fire to strip their mortality away. At this level Caster has gained the attributes, affinities, abilities, and nature inherent to plant based lifeforms. Put simply, it is the ultimate metamorphosis of vitality granted by the Earth Mother. In spirit, an ability not unlike the burden of the Gods carried by Utnapishtim. As Caster began to grow, it became clear her form unerringly resembled the then abducted Persephone. [/hider] [hider= Noble Phantasm(s)] [h3][b]Paradeisos Tou Helios[/b][/h3] [i]Goddess's Grief Reversal[/i] Rank: D(EX) Type: Anti-Country Range: 10~100 Maximum Number of Targets: 1000 people The greatest sacred regalia of Demeter, the winged divine chariot. A miraculous farming device, a shinning ship of the Earth Mother that was used to bring fertility to the entire planet. It was said to be the original vehicle to make use of wheels(even if it could hover and fly), passed from Demeter to Triptolemus so as to expedite her mission. The truth of the matter is that it's more like a high-tech farming contraption, a semi autonomous device fundamentally designed to restore and tend to the land. Its appearance is far from any normal conception of a chariot, and it is more reminiscent to a certain device extolled in the Vaimanika Shastra. Its true name release accomplishes wide-scale terraforming and land revitalization, renacting the feat of Triptolemus restoring the worlds plant life and spreading farming across the world. It affords for mass instant cultivation of all sorts of life and full restoration of the land. However, that being said, it has decreased efficiency when targeting something like a city. Also, the most egregious alterations that are not in line with the current era will dissipate after some period of time. Regardless of its permanency, surely the land that is targeted by this Noble Phantasm will be blessed evermore. It is the 'ultimate tractor' which Caster used to fertilize the entire world. Even at reduced output limited by the modern era, it demonstrates an overwhelming level of power that eclipses even the Green Revolution. However because of the fundamental nature it has as a civilian tool it distinctly has no combat or offensive capabilities. Its true war-value lies in its interior, an 'enclosed space' that acts as Casters mobile territory. This is where the 'fruits of life' seeded by the chariot are stored and drawn from. In other words, it is the lawn of Demeter which is reminiscent of the Elysium Caster would judge in the afterlife- a 'Garden of Eternal Sun'. As a Noble Phantasm then it operates in spirit like a certain Hanging Garden, though it does nothing in regards to fame. Fundamentally however, Caster can only draw out a portion of this Noble Phantasms true power in the modern era. It's actually the nation building tool of a top-level Earth Mother, so in its original form it could bring forth life or destruction at the scale of an entire mythological texture. -In other words, a lush world for a restored Persephone, or a barren world for an abducted Persephone. Put simply, a terrifying Earth-shaping device used to alter the land at an impossibly massive scale and speed. Even the entire Olympic Pantheon could only despair at the results. Scary, scary. [hr] [h3][b]Thesmophoria Kalligenia[/b][/h3] [i]Four Seasons Goddess of Judgment[/i] Rank: A Type: Anti-Unit Range: 2~4 Maximum Number of Targets: 1 person Description: The divine farming implement granted to Caster by Demeter- in other words, the original farming tool. It has a dual nature, so it can normally take on the form of a Scythe or Hoe- but Caster usually carries it around in the form of a Parasol. It functions as something analogous to a magic staff, even though its outward form may change. Acting as a conceptual weapon, it is an amplification instrument for the operation of the seasons- the cycles and classifications of the world. Wet vs Dry. Hot vs Cold. Spring vs Winter. A noble phantasm that fundamentally governs fertility(potential) vs infertility(recession)- allowing its user to, for example, grow or eradicate plots of land at extreme speeds. Put simply, these are god given farming tools that can enliven or destroy. They could be called the embodiment of the Mother Goddess' dualistic nature, an expression of Persephone who is paradoxically Queen of both Summer and the Underworld. In the end Caster herself served as one of the Underworlds esteemed judges in death, despite her previous role as a creator of life. Really, Caster has a deep bond with Persephone at multiple levels. A true name release amplifies its normal effects massively. Within just a single swing it becomes possible for her to enact prosperity and potential, or destruction and recession.
