[@Parallel Hearts] Alright! I have whipped up an app for my Leper King, and hopefully it fits and works. If not, then I can whip up my Rider!Ptolemy app instead! Whatever works best! :D [hider=Saber: The Leper King] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/a9/03/80a903f503d446a10a64b2d1ff889a3d.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Class[/b]: Saber [b]True Name\Title[/b]: King Baldwin IV, aka “Baudouin IV”, “The Leper”, “The Leper King” [b]Alignment[/b]: Neutral Good [b]Appearance[/b]: [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/a9/03/80a903f503d446a10a64b2d1ff889a3d.jpg]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/a9/03/80a903f503d446a10a64b2d1ff889a3d.jpg[/url] [b]Short Bio/Synopsis[/b]: A young man with great talent and wit, yet despite being afflicted with leprosy rose to the throne of the Kingdom of Jerusalem at the young age of 13. Despite his condition, however, his character and status did not impede him in inheriting the throne. He was also both a wise king as well as a skilled military commander. He was a dynamic figure in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, despite the factionalized nobles seeking to use his sister and mother to get control or authority over the throne, and managed to keep the great Saladin at bay during his kingship. Despite needing help to put on armor and mount his horse by the time he fought at the infamous Battle of Montgisard, he had an incredibly keen mind and piously led his troops from the front without fear. No matter how many times he sought a regent to lead as his condition worsened, however, he continued to return and perform better himself when they all proved ineffective, indecisive, and otherwise as failures. Despite his victories and keeping the Kingdom of Jerusalem together, the lack of European support against Saladin (or seeing him as a greater danger), issues among his allies with each other, and internal political factions vying for power weakened his nation regardless. Even so he kept on, faithful and determined until the end to lead his people. To try to keep order after his passing he even set his young and sickly nephew, Baldwin V, as his heir while setting out conditions for inheritance if his heir died. Yet it would be with his and his nephew's deaths, and his ill-fitting sister and brother in law defying succession to seize control of the throne, that the Kingdom of Jerusalem would ultimately fall for good. https://www.nobility-association.com/TICAN%20Gazette/TICAN%20%20Gazette%20Nov.%2025,%202013.pdf https://nobility.org/2012/11/22/battle-of-montgisard/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_IV_of_Jerusalem https://hekint.org/2017/01/30/the-remarkable-baldwin-iv-leper-and-king-of-jerusalem/ https://www.tfp.org/catholic-crusader-leper-and-king-the-life-of-baldwin-iv-and-the-triumph-of-the-cross/ [b]Stats[/b]: Your ranks in STR, END, AGI, MAN, LCK, and NP. They can range from E to A (very rarely EX), as normally, and have any modifiers you judge necessary, as long their triggers are logical and everything is explained within reason. STR: C END: D AGI: B MAN: D LCK: B [b]Class Skill[/b]: [i]Magic Resistance[/i]: C -grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. [i]Riding[/i]: B -is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding. Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in, for they are no exception. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts. Baldwin was noted in life to be an adept horseman, even when his condition left him needing help to get up on his horse eventually. [b]Personal Skills[/b]: Limit of 3 for OC Servants unless a really good explanation is made. The instructions on rank are the same as above. [i]Protection of the Faith[/i]: A -Is a Skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is the absoluteness of one’s body and mind that was born from their beliefs. But if it is too high, it causes abnormalities in the personality. Baldwin was an individual who throughout his life was a very devout Christian, an individual known especially for his indomitable faith and bravery. He kept fighting to preserve his nation and the Holy Land from the Saracens and other enemies without and within for Christianity, even to the point he was being carried into battle on a litter to command his troops despite his deteriorating body. [i]Military Tactics[/i]: C -Baldwin was a strong enough commander and military leader to have been a rival of Saladin during his short life, both defeating and driving his foe off multiple times to keep his dying kingdom alive. Such was Baldwin’s skill that Saladin even withdrew his forces from a siege when a debilitated and litter-bound Baldwin came leading a relief force. He was also wise in military matters for someone his age, from recognizing Saladin as the largest threat to his kingdom and other Christian holdings in the Middle East to even his move to try to organize an attack on Saladin’s power base in Egypt before it was too late. [i]Leprosy[/i]: - -The condition of being a leper afflicted with leprosy. As a servant skill it is similar to “Battle Continuation”, but in this case just removes the sensation of pain and allows one to continue to fight and battle regardless of injuries. However, this skill does not grant any form of “higher vitality” nor “reduce mortality rate from injury”. It does not embody any sort of “ability to survive” either, but rather is the ability to push one’s damaged body to ruin. Any healing the servant receives is also reduced by twenty five percent. However, unlike in life he does retain the usage of his arms and legs as a Servant due to being summoned in his ‘prime’ physical state. [b]Noble Phantasm[/b]: [i]True Name/Title[/i]: Crucem Auream, “The Holy Sun of Victory” [i]Rank[/i]: A [i]Type[/i]: Anti-Army [i]Range[/i]: 1-50 [i]Maximum Number of Targets[/i]: 700 [i]Description[/i]: A radiant golden blade which gleams like the sun, with a golden cross (containing a fragment of the True Cross inside) incorporated as the hilt of it. This weapon is the crystallization of Baldwin IV’s victory and his “calling upon the power of God to smite his enemies” at the Battle of Montgisard. At the titular battle, after bringing out and praying before this titular golden cross it “[shone] as brightly as the sun” and Baldwin slaughtered the far greater and stronger Saracen army...and very nearly killed Saladin in the process. Baldwin as a servant thus once again wields this divine power he prayed for against the Saracens in life, and the holy relic from which it came forth, as his weapon as a servant. The young king can activate this Noble Phantasm by speaking its name verbally in some manner, whether quietly like a prayer or even louder like a battle cry, unleashing a surging wave of radiant holy light “as [bright] as the sun” to destroy his enemies. The attack itself spreads out in a conical pattern, being at its thinnest at the point from which it was launched (Baldwin’s sword) but very quickly and exponentially widening as it moves forward. [i]Misc/Other/Trivia[/i]: At the Battle of Montgisard this golden cross was brought out and raised at the behest of Baldwin IV, who prostrated himself before it and prayed for victory. When he and his troops then attacked the Saracens, the following occurred: “The young king with his hands bandaged, rode in the forefront of the Christian charge – with St. George beside him, people said, and the True Cross shining as brightly as the sun.” Not only was it Baldwin’s greatest victory, but it was also a miracle in and of itself. Literally speaking, Baldwin called upon and wielded the power of God in order to smite his enemies and achieve victory over Saladin and his forces. This is the form this Noble Phantasm takes in return. [/hider]
