Name: Autolycus
Title(s): The Lone-Wolf Prince of Thieves
Class: Assassin
Gender: Male
Attribute: Sky
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Personality: Autolycus seems to conduct himself in a matter similar to a cranky old man, using dated phrases and treating "younger people" (and especially younger thieves) with disdain. Snide and full of sardonic remarks, mocking his adversaries freely. A shameless rat who cares only for his own well-being, robbing those who come across him of their fortune and allowing others to take his own blame and misfortunes. Also a prideful thief who will whatever his Master would ask of him, if only do demonstrate his talents. While Autolycus is more than willing to lend his ill trade to whatever his Master would desire, he also has the capacity to turn his back on his Master should the opportunity present itself. However, due to the nature of a Servant-Master relationship, he's unlikely to betray his own Master in most cases.
Biography: The infamous thief of Ancient Greek myth and the son of Hermes and Chione. A natural trickster due to his father's influence, Autolycus was famed for possessing the ability to change the shape of himself and the items he has pilfered, as well as a helmet that rendered himself invisible. Famed for his many exploits of larceny such as stealing cattle from Sisyphus and framing Heracles for his own act of stealing cattle from Euboea and Eurytus. Many cows were stolen during the time of the Prince of Thieves. Autolycus is also the grandfather of two more famous Greek heroes, Jason and Odysseus, the latter of whom he named while in a bad mood.
Armament: Autolycus uses his trusty short sword and a bow as his primary weapons. He also carries on him the various tools utilized by those of his trade such as rope, smoke bombs, lockpicks, rope, and various knives. Anything stolen is also fair game. However, one of Autolycus's greatest tools at his disposal are his limbs.
Fighting Style: While not a "true" Assassin, Autolycus's skills as a thief translate well enough to fit his role with ease, capable of covert ops. In a fight, he swiftly takes every advantage he can, and he isn't above stealing his opponent's advantages to use against them. However, because he is a thief and not a warrior, his skills at arms are middling at best. The sole exception to this are his wrestling techniques, refined enough to take on
that man head-on.

AClass Skills:
Presence Concealment:
A+Class skill of Assassin. Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. It is possible to disappear completely and become almost impossible to be detected, even against a Servant's perception. However, efficiency will decrease once preparations to attack are taken. Effectiveness does not decrease when acts of theft are performed, allowing Autolycus to steal from his opponents to his heart's content, and escape before they realize their valuables have been taken.
Personal Skills:
Divinity:
BAutolycus is the demigod son of Hermes and has particularly thick divine blood flowing through his veins, inheriting most of the skills and abilities his father possessed, such as his speed, natural agility, and aptitude for thievery.
Palé:
A+Ancient Greek wrestling, one of the core combat styles that make up Pankration. Consisting of grappling techniques such as clinches, throws, pins, and takedowns, the ultimate path to victory is to obtain a superior position over the opponent. At the rank of A+, Autolycus is a master of the art, having taught the legendary Heracles how to wrestle. Autolycus himself approaches this combat style as another tool to aid in his larceny. To rob away a human's faculties, incapacitating his foes in order to more easily steal from them. In other words, the possibility of Autolycus stealing from those he grapples with is a matter of course.
Prince of Thieves:
AThe many talents inherited from Hermes, further refined by Autolycus's own way of life. A composite skill that is made of different skills pertaining to acts of larceny such as burglary, pickpocketing, extortion, lockpicking, tax fraud, pickpocketing, etc., as well as misdirection and other forms of trickery. Also grants a plus correction in regards to all larcenous activities.
Master of
Disguise:
BThe greatest gift granted by Hermes, a special ability that ensures all criminal activities performed by Autolycus would not be traced back to himself. A highly specialized mutation of Shapeshift that allows Autolycus to change the form and appearance of both himself and objects or entities within his grasp. While radical physical changes to the body are outside of the ability's reach, Autolycus is able to fashion visual changes that can fool the keenest of eyes, from those as simple as color or minute detail changes to more advanced disguises with details on the level of a Noble Phantasm. Something closer in the realm of an "enchantment of illusion" than actually changing one's body, this skill originally had a different name, although it was changed due to reasons undisclosed.

Cap Knapsack of Invisibility

Cap Knapsack of ConcealmentRank: D
NP Type: Anti-Unit

Maximum Number of Targets: 1
The cap of invisibility that belonged to Hades, and the greatest of treasures that Autolycus has stolen. Originally a helmet in the legends, the cap takes the shape of a cloth hat made from a complex weave that "reaches five dimensions." Anything covered or enclosed by the cloth cannot be observed through magecraft and optical means. Using optical magic to block all forms of magical detection and any presence of magical emanations from the wearer, it is incredibly effective against those relying solely on magecraft to detect enemies. It does not obscure sound, smell, body temperature, or the wearer's tracks, so its usage is mostly situational. Without such indicators being readily apparent, it is possible to easily walk by enemies while keeping quiet, and it allows for the easy kidnapping of others through Bounded Fields without detection. However, this is merely the "standard" function of the cap.
Originally, the cap can also be folded out into a sash capable of rendering multiple users invisible at a time. However, due to Autolycus's selfish tendencies as well as a desire to hide his treasures properly, modifications have been mad to the cap, losing its sash form in favor of allowing the cap to take the shape of an invisible bag to keep his stolen goods in. Autolycus accomplishes this by taking advantage of the weave's unique properties by creating an "extradimensional space" within the bag that can only be accessed when the cap is in its sack form. A bounded field that can hold much more than it could appear. The space within the bag is sealed to a degree, keeping whatever item is contained within it from being brought out in any way so long as the cap remains both sealed and in bag form. However, there is nothing stopping whatever is contained within the bag to just open it from the inside aside from Autolycus's tightened grip. It is, after all, a bag meant for holding material possessions, not other people. It should also be noted that the cap is still able to render both itself and its wielder invisible when utilized in such a matter so long as it is still held.

Theft by means of reversal. The legendary prowess of Autolycus as a thief as well as his own nature to "make white of black, and black of white" crystallized into an act of grand larceny. Simply put, Autolycus is able to steal a possession from his target, replacing the stolen possession it with its inverse. However, rather than targeting "material" possessions, this ability steals away more "intrinsic" effects from its target. For example, Autolycus can steal a target's "Strength", benefiting from an increased Strength score and leaving his opponent with "Weakness." To perform this ability, opposing LCK checks are performed, though plus corrections are added the more advantages Autolycus could press against his opponent, from stealth and subterfuge to incapacitation. However, possessions that are more "core" to the target's existence are much harder to steal, and Autolycus would also suffer demerits in disadvantageous positions.
In other words, a true demonstration of Autolycus's abilities as a thief, great enough to steal even the legends that make up a hero. Because this Noble Phantasm is not a true attack, it is incapable of directly dealing damage to the target. Autolycus is also unable to steal away the target's Force of Providence, preventing the utilization of this Noble Phantasm as an "instant-kill" technique. There is also a limit to how many possession Autolycus could have stolen at a time, as he is capable of holding onto only one possession at a time. Of course, Autolycus is capable of "releasing" any held possession, returning original values to both himself and his target. As an unscrupulous thief, Autolycus is able to consider anyone as a target to his thievery, from allies to his own Master and even to himself.
