Berserker is a denizen of the underworld; her skin is taunt, dusty and pale. Her hair is wild and unkempt, and sprouting from it are two dark, thick horns denoting her species. On her face Berserker wears a simple mask, as beneath it her visage is horribly rotten. Sagging skin, sharp gnashing teeth, and large bright eyes adorn the face of one that among all beings living in the underworld, is the one most described as "ugly." She is short and thin, but despite her appearance she radiates demonic strength. [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Alignment:[/b] Chaotic Evil [b]Attribute:[/b] Earth [b]History[/b]: A resident of the Japanese underworld, [i]Yomi[/i], Berserker (known as Yomotsu-shikome or simply "Shikome") spent most of her days indulging herself - terrorizing spirits and lesser monsters, dressing herself in stolen trinkets in a parody of those living above, and devouring anything she could get her hands on. When satisfied, she'd spend the rest of the time lounging. Her existence was a lonesome one. However, it came that one day the Goddess Izanami died and came to Yomi. Naturally, many inhabitants were curious about her. Berserker was no exception, and she struck up many conversations with the sullen Goddess. Berserker was a disgusting creature even for an oni, yet Izanami showed no loathing for her. Similarly, as Izanami's appearance degraded and her body decomposed, Berserker felt even closer to her. One might even say that the two of them, Goddess and demon, became friends. When Izanami's husband, the God Izanagi, ventured into the underworld to rescue his wife, Berserker for the first time in her life felt conflicted. Because she had come to befriend Izanami, Berserker hoped that the Goddess could return to what made her happy, her life and husband. Yet, Berserker would be lonely should that happen. Berserker didn't have to consider her conflicting feelings long - Izanagi offended his wife by seeking a peek at her decaying form against her wishes and tried to flee Yomi. Distraught, Izanami bade Berserker to chase him down - and that she did. Her mission to chase after Izanagi and drag him down into the depths of the underworld was in retribution was the only order Berserker had ever been given in her life. It was also the first time anyone relied on her. So she gave it her all. The chase itself was savage fun, but the want to tear Izanagi's head from his shoulders really spurred her on. She was zealous in her pursuit, destroying everything in her path to get to Izanagi. As she gained on him, there was one thing that held her back: her appetite. Despite her want to rip the God apart for betraying her friend, whenever he threw food over his shoulder, Berserker had to stop and eat it. She burned so much energy during the chase that to not eat it would mean she would never catch him. In the end, she didn't end up capturing Izanagi. The God lastly threw a peach at her, something she hated with all her heart, and when she hesitated Izanagi took the opportunity to seal off the entrance to Yomi, separating the world of the living and the dead forever. Having failed her mission, Berserker returned to Izanami's side and vowed to make it up to her someday. [b]Personality[/b]: Though the concept doesn't exist for her, Berserker embodies sin. Prideful, greedy, gluttonous and even slothful. And as an oni, she enjoys destruction and has a temper. At her core, Berserker is a being that looks after herself. She does what is best for herself, and rarely takes others' opinions into consideration. She just isn't used to being with anyone besides her self. She is technically capable of working within a team, but can't be trusted not to go off alone or sacrifice others to save her own life. She is brash, crude; says and does whatever she pleases whenever she pleases. A selfish existence through and through. It is nearly impossible to get through to her on a personal level - the only other person to do so was a literal divine being. The defining aspect of Berserker is her appetite. She loves to eat and drink like most oni, but Berserker considers herself a connoisseur in all things edible. Of course, this includes things like human beings. Though she can appreciate the rich foods and exquisite cuisine of Earth, she will eat anything... well, except for a certain fruit. [u]Parameters[/u]: [b]STR[/b]: B [b]AGI[/b]: A+ [b]END[/b]: B+ [b]MAN[/b]: C [b]LCK[/b]: C [b][i]Class Skills[/i][/b] [list][*][i]MAD ENHANCEMENT B[/i][/list][indent]A skill that raises a servant's basic parameters and strengthens their physical abilities in exchange for their sense of reason and the hindering of their mental capacity. At this rank all parameters are ranked up. Of course, because of Berserker's nature as an oni and underworld creature, her mentality is already incompatible with human beings so she doesn't really suffer any demerit.[/indent] [i][b]Personal Skills[/b][/i] [list][*][i]DEMONIC NATURE OF ONI (SPIRIT) A[/i][/list][indent]A skill that represents the power and true nature of oni. Normally this skill would power Berserker up substantially in a way similar to the skills Monstrous Strength or Mana Burst. While her strength is still beyond what a human is capable of, her nature as a spirit being residing in the underworld informs this version of the skill. Quicker movements, moving through objects while in her corporeal form, and a cold, dread presence manifests from this skill.[/indent] [list][*][i]HUNGER B[/i][/list][indent]Equal parts curse and skill, it reinforces the ravenous nature of Berserker and makes it extremely hard to resist going after food sources in sight. Hunger also converts more energy from eating into mana, making it possible to replenish or sustain her mana reserves so long as she is fed. In function it is similar to Independent Action, with some stipulations. She is not above eating humans and other servants - in fact, eating pieces of creatures high in magical ability such as these work especially well to rejuvenate her and 'fill her mana tank,' so to speak.[/indent] [list][*][i]BLESSING OF THE GODDESS D[/i][/list][indent]Tasked with chasing down the God Izanagi by his wife, Berserker's agility and endurance increase whenever she is in pursuit of a target. This skill is a little touch of the divine, spurring Berserker on to catch her prey. It imbues her with the hunting instincts of a predator, making her even more deadly and tenacious as she constantly pursues her target, becoming more proficient the longer the chase goes on. Her blood really starts pumping during a chase.[/indent] [sub][h3][b]Noble Phantasms[/b]:[/h3][/sub] [b]Name[/b]: Yomotsu-hisame [b]Title[/b]: Ring Out, Thunder of Yomi [b]Rank[/b]: B [b]Type[/b]: Anti-Army [b]Range[/b]: - [b]Targets[/b]: 8 [b]Description[/b]: Berserker's Noble Phantasm draws not only from the myth of her pursuit, but also encapsulates a popular reading of her tale that describes her not as a single being, but a group of demons. With a crack of lightning and loud clap of thunder, she splits herself into eight. Each eight is identical in appearance and personality, but they are not a hivemind. Each operate separately, able to pursue different targets or employ strategies as complex as an oni can come up with. Although individually each Berserker is weaker than the servant as a whole, their numbers and vicious dogging of their prey more than make up for the loss of strength. ...of course, this alone does not a complete, chilling tale make. Berserker's mission was to capture Izanagi and drag him back to Yomi. The claws of all eight Berserkers are filled with that promise. If they were to seize someone with their claws, their prey would "fall into the underworld." Every wound, every touch, drains the force of their life until the victim succumbs to "death" and is dragged to Yomi for a permanent stay.[/hider]
