[hider=Personality] [b]Personality[/b]: An acerbic young man used to dismissing everyone who approached him, for they surely only wished to bed him because of his appearance. When he was alive, Narcissus knew his only outstanding quality was his Beauty and so he didn't try to reach for the sky. He would woke up, go out in a hunt, reject any suitor, sleep, rinse and repeat. He would not bother with the affairs of heroes and they would not bother him, or so he though. But when summoned as an servant, due to the way his name became irreversibly linked with a certan mental disorder, his personality changes accordingly. Now a boisterous person who thinks of himself as an Heroic Spirit without equal, with unmatched skill and a savant talent for battle. He will use every waking moment to showcase his ability, and search for opponents to test his newfound might. Like it was to be expected, he is also extremely proud of his natural, unmatched, Beauty, but knowing the way it caused him some large amounts of problems when he was alive, he will try to hide it in a very minimalist way, as to both not deprive the world of this gift but also lower the inconvenience it causes. [b]Likes[/b]: Himself, His reflect, His combat skills, strong-willed people. [b]Dislikes[/b]: People who become enraptured by His appearance, the narcissus family of flowers. [/hider] [hider=Bio] [b]Biography[/b]: A man in a land of heroes and legends who's greatest achievement was his beauty, and who's most famous deed was to die because of it. Nothing much can be said about the story of Narcissus, besides, maybe, his incredible gift to verbally put down any and all would be suitors and wooers, no matter who they were, for they couldn't hope to compare to his impossible ideal of beauty. This gift was his undoing when he scorned the love of a young nymph, resulting in her death, death that lead to a divine retribution. This punishment could be said to be both a curse and a fulfillment of Narcissus wish: at the end, he withered away in a lonely glade, his only companion the reflection of his face on the water. He saw, for the first and last time, the only being in existence that could meet his ideals: himself, and so he died happy, knowing that his life wasn't without any meaning. As a hunter, he became accustomed to using a bow and arrow, but to be a greek is to known how to use a spear, and so, this time, he was summoned as a Lancer. [/hider] [hr] [b]Equipment[/b]: A standard hoplite spear and shield. Post Summoning, a pair of sunglasses [b]Parameters[/b] [b]Strength[/b]: C [b]Endurance[/b]: C [b]Agility[/b]: B [b]Mana[/b]: C [b]Luck[/b]: E [hr] [b]Class Skills:[/b] [b]Magic Resistance: C[/b] Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. Although he was born at the Age of Gods, Narcissus never fought against any kind of magical phenomenom in life, and as such, the rank of this skill is low. [b]Personal Skills: [/b] [b]Divinity[/b]: C One's aptitude as a divine spirit. Narcissus was the son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Liriope, and as such, he qualifies for this skill. [b]Protection of the Fairies[/b]: B It is a blessing from Elementals; the capacity to increase one's Luck in dangerous situations. Activation is limited to battlefields, where it is possible to perform feats of arms. As a man loved by both her mother, the nymph Liriope, and his most famous of scorned suitors, the oread nymph Echo, Narcissus displays this skill at a high level. [b]Narcissism[/b]: A+++ With time, long after his life and death, Narcissus became known as the basis of a mental disorder with its name. Was he the first ever recorded individual to suffer from it? or was his personality just a scapegoat to base this disorder from? To the eyes of humanity, the answer didn't matter in the slightest, in their mind, the two of them, both the man and the illness became eternally entrenched. To no surprise, Narcissus attains the highest level possible in this skill. In his case this takes the form of an extreme self-hypnosis: as long as he sees himself as his ideal self; his body, skills and attributes will remain in their idealized form, that is to say, second to none. It's not hard to see that this easily can and will become a loop,as he reinforces his warped view of himself, enforcing the hypnosis for an indefinitive amount of time. It would take a severe change of paradigm for Narcissus to stop seeing himself as the pinacle of Heroic Spirits [hr] [b]Noble Phantasm [/b] [center][b]True Name[/b]: Narcissus Kallisteía[/center][center][b]Title[/b]: Thy Existence is Beauty Itself[/center] [center][b]Rank[/b]: C[/center] [center][b]NP Type[/b]: Anti-Unit (self)[/center][center][b]Range[/b]: 0[/center][center][b]Maximum Number of Targets[/b]: 100[/center] [b]Description[/b]: In life, Narcissus could not boast of any divine armament, extraordinary deed or supreme showing of skill, he was just a man in a world of heroes. But to be an Heroic Spirit without a Noble Phantasm that you could call your own is unheard of, and so, he gained one that not only encompassed his myth but his entire life, the crystalization of his Beauty. In essence, what this Noble Phantasm do is incredible simple. It gives Narcissus the quality of always being "the most Beautiful being" in any given situation. While this indeed sound simple, in actuality the effects of this are anything but. To be beautiful does not only refer to your physical appearance, for that would just be a superficial beautiness. A man can only experience true Beauty when his actions, his voice, the weapons he wield, even his soul exudes this quality, and Narcissus is the most beautiful of them all. What would be a no name spear and shield, become works of art ; When he talks, his voice oozes charm on the levels of magecraft ; when he walks, he does it with a grace that doesn't show any wasted movement; even when he fights, what in life would had been a mediocre showing, transform into a spectacle of poise and finesse that would rival the most skillfuls of combatants. At its peak, this Beauty will become a blessing (curse) on and in itself, those weak willed will become unable to do anything but gaze at Lancer, becoming slaves to their love, while those who don't succumb to his heavenly glamour will, instead, have their souls and spirits purified. With enough exposure to his phenomenon, it wouldn't be wrong to say that an event akin to enlightened can occur. Beauty is not only a quality of the self, but a quality others see in the other, that is reflected back in the self. To try and reach that Beauty is, perhaps, the same as reaching a superior state of being. This Noble Phantasm also makes the act of "changing" Narcissus to anything not associated with the word Beauty become nigh impossible. It would not be wrong to say that he possesses an absoluteness of the Self. Neither the strongest poison or the most grievous of wounds will change this fact. Due to the specifics of his legend , Narcissus can only show the full effects of this Noble Phantasm when his face is without any kind of cover. [hr] [center][b]True Name[/b]: Echo Antanáklasi[/center][center][b]Title[/b]: Even in Death i Will Love You[/center] [center][b]Rank[/b]:B[/center] [center][b]NP Type[/b]: Anti-Unit [/center][center][b]Range[/b]: 5[/center][center][b]Maximum Number of Targets[/b]: 1-10[/center] [b]Description[/b]: Echo was a nymph cursed by Hera to only be able to talk if it was to repeat the last thing she heard. She then had the added misfortune to fall in love with Narcissus, and, after being being throughoutly rejected by him, she had to see the man she loved slowly dying of thirst and hunger after seeing his reflection on a lake, unable to change his destiny in the slightest. Maybe it was this love, or her paper on his myth that lead to an aspect of her being forever tied to Narcissus even after death. Upon calling it's true name, an ethereal reflection of Narcissus will appear to fight by his side, perfectly mirroring any and all actions done by him. Normally, fighting alongside another person would require years of practice as to not interfere in the other path, but as this is a identical mimicry of the original, this problem does not occur at all. Due to this being a crystalization of both the love and the punishment for scorning Echo, using this Noble Phantasm comes with the possible effect of Narcissus stopping in the middle of the fight to gaze at his alluring visage reflected at him, for even he is not inmune to the effects of his own Beauty, for better or for worse.
