[b]Birth and Death Dates:[/b] Age of Gods [b]Alignment:[/b] Chaotic Neutral [b]Motivation for the Grail:[/b] [i]Agape, Philia, Philautia, Storge...[/i] to experience "love." [hr][b]Personality:[/b] [indent]For a famous, daring hero, Rider is on the sullen side. Bitter memories fill his head, making him slow to trust. However, underneath his apparent guarded exterior, Rider is an optimist who wears his heart on his sleeve. His cool demeanor is a flimsy shield. In this world, anything is possible... if one didn't go through life believing that, their existence would be pitiful indeed. Rider cherishes victory and praise, so he is unafraid to take risks or to seek the easy way out - so long as it will earn him the adoration of his allies. He wants desperately to open his heart to someone, and to be reciprocated, and this desire clashes hard with his past experiences. Will the "love" he finds be conditional again? Will it disappear as soon as he makes a mistake, or says the wrong thing? It's a fine line Rider walks when dealing with people. To find love he will go to any lengths, and to avoid rejection he will do anything. If he senses this is possible with his master, he will make a loyal companion. However, if he senses it is impossible... he may find another hand to feed from. At his core, he must be selfish after all.[/indent] [b]Appearance:[/b] [indent]A slender hero, delicate enough to ride the picky Pegasus, yet curiously strong enough to lift boulders over his head. Because of his slim frame, sparkling golden eyes and long, flowing purple hair, it is not uncommon for Rider to be mistaken as a woman - even with a height of 172cm. Speaking of his hair, he usually keeps it tied back into a pony tail to control it. He dresses in dark feathers and furs, and his right ear is pierced with a [color=gold]golden bone fragment[/color].[/indent] [b]Bio:[/b] [indent]This is indeed a twisted version of events. There exists some confusion in the modern world on the lineage of "Bellerophon," some sources even citing the same family tree as the being Chrysaor. These conflating stories are correct: the hero "Bellerophon's" true identity is that of Chrysaor, son of Medusa. "Bellerophon," meaning "slayer of enemies," is nothing more than a title given to the man who angered Olympus and was all but forgotten to history because of it, his true name erased. Chrysaor was born a winged piglet with golden tusks along his twin brother Pegasus. While Pegasus flew away, Chrysaor was too heavy to fly - he was stuck on the island with only a rotting headless corpse for company. One day during a sorrowful rage, one of Chrysaor's tusks was broken off. The sound as loud and, perhaps taking pity on the beast, his father Poseidon turned him into a man. Chrysaor fashioned his broken tusk into a rudimentary sword and escaped the island. On the road, Chrysaor met with a man fleeing a murder charge. The poor scared man plead of Chrysaor, a stranger, to go to Tiryns in his stead and plead innocence. From here, the traditional legend of "Bellerophon" begins... and ends, when Chrysaor is thrown to Earth after attempting to fly to Olympus, crashing to the ground and losing the god given gift of manhood, his legacy erased and replaced with only a mysterious "slayer of enemies" attributed to it. "Bellerophon" and Chrysaor both never heard from again, suffering alone until death once more.[/indent] [b]Basic Equipment:[/b] A spear and bow.

Rider is able to expertly handle any vehicle or beast mount, including phantasmal beasts, except for those of the dragon kind.[/list] [*][i]Magic Resistance C+[/i][list] [*]A resistance built up over his experiences battling magical creatures. Rider resists magic of and under this rank, and can much more easily dodge and deflect magic above it, even with his bare hands.[/list] [/list] [u][b]Personal Skills:[/b][/u][list] [*][i]Divinity E-[/i][list] [*]Although he is related to Poseidon in one way or another and should hold a higher rank in divinity, his gorgon blood and resentment for being betrayed by the gods has caused it to lower substantially.[/list] [*][i]Monstrous Strength C[/i][list] [*]A skill held by those with a monstrous background that amplifies one's strength. In close quarters combat, Rider's rank in "strength" is increased by one. Like his mother, the more he relies on this skill, the more Rider resembles his monstrous self.[/list] [*][i]Mantle of the Hero (Monster) B+[/i][list] [*]The role that Rider assumes in playing the part of "Bellerophon" is an adept monster slayer. As such, his damage and effectiveness is heightened against such creatures. In the heat of battle, his visage can even cause weaker monsters to cower and run... on the flip side, if Rider is returned to his true form as Chrysaor, that fear becomes admiration for the son of the gorgon, and he can command lesser monsters to his will, assuming he is in his right state of mind.[/list] [*][i]Animal Dialogue C[/i][list] [*]Being the twin brother of Pegasus, Rider can easily understand and communicate with him. He also capable of speaking with any animal, but he gets along best with horses, hippocampus, boars, pigs, and similar hooved animals.

It is the golden bridle gifted to Rider, under the guise of "Bellerophon", in order to control Pegasus and bring out his full potential. Passively, this treasured bridle allows Rider to call upon his brother and summon him into existence. Pegasus is among the most famous and powerful of phantasmal beasts on his own, but when fastened with the golden bridle, his maximum potential is unlocked. It raises Pegasus’ stats, attack and defensive power, speed and destructive capabilities many times over, transforming Pegasus into a comet-like entity able to physically destroy nearly anything.[/indent] [b]True Name:[/b] Chrysaor [b]Title:[/b] [i]Golden Blade's True Form[/i] [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]NP Type:[/b] Anti-Unit (Self) [b]Range:[/b] 1 [b]Maximum Number of Targets:[/b] 1 [b]Description:[/b] [indent]The [color=gold]golden sword[/color] that Rider carries. That in itself would be a hint to his true identity, if he weren't forgotten. The blade is simple in design, the only thing that sets it apart visually from a common sword being it's golden luster. The weapon is one of Chrysaor's tusks, reforged into something more befitting of a hero. The sword itself is strong, much stronger than any mortal weapon that isn't a Noble Phantasm of another servant. For those able to sense that kind of thing, the sword gives off a certain feel, as though it were part of a living organism. Of course, that's because it is - and Rider is able to use it with great ease, being that it's literally part of his own body. The other tusk takes the form of a [color=gold]golden bone fragment[/color], acting as a makeshift earring, driven through Rider's right earlobe. When this earring is removed, the sword and earring change back to tusks and Rider’s gorgon blood boils and transforms him into his true self: the monstrous, giant winged boar. In his boar form, Rider’s abilities increase as he becomes a phantasmal beast himself. While his strength, endurance, and agility go up, his consciousness takes a nosedive. He is still aware of himself and able to follow a master's orders, but the longer he is in his true form the more his sadness and self-loathing rises. He will begin to rage and thrash about as his instincts take over, concerned only with completing his current objective: usually destroying the opponent in the fastest way possible. It is possible to calm him, but doing so is extremely dangerous. He can be returned to human form by breaking off one (or both) of his tusks, and again piercing his ear with it. He cannot summon Pegasus in this form, as the brothers were only reunited as hero and steed in life.[/indent][/hider]
