Stats __________________________________________________________Endurance: B Strength: B+ Agility: A Mana: A Luck: B NP: A+ | Abilities __________________________________________________________Magic Resistance A - Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi. Battle Continuation A – A Skill that allows for the continuation of combat after sustaining mortal wounds. The ability to survive; makes it possible to fight even with deadly injuries and can remain alive so long as one does not receive a decisive fatal wound. Bravery A – The ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. It also has the bonus effect of increasing melee damage. During his life time Heracles defeated many monsters and opponents with just his bare hands and brute strength, strangling the otherwise impervious Nemean Lion or crushing the giant Antaeus. Divinity A – The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels, one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit. Being a mixed-race child of the King of Gods, Zeus, and a human, and becoming a god after death, Heracles naturally possessed the highest level of the Divinity Skill. Eye of the Mind (False) B - A natural talent to foresee/sense and avoid danger on the basis of an innate 6th sense, intuition, or prescience. Gained through many ordeals and adventures, he is capable of calm analysis of battle conditions, by which competent grasp of the status of the self and the opponent are obtainable even in the midst of danger; utilization of such to deduce the appropriate course of action that permits escape from a lethal predicament. Subtitle: Twelve Labours Type: Anti-Unit Rank: B Range: – Maximum number of targets: 1 Description: A continuously active-type Noble Phantasm that grants Heracles a "body that knows no death." It is a blessing of the gods representing immortality, as well as being a curse, that was granted to him for completing his Twelve Labours in life. It provides the three effects of resurrection, attack-nullification, and the ability to gain resistance to attacks which have hurt him previous. God Hand applies a conceptual defence based upon rank; it defends against all attacks B-rank and lower, regardless of the attack being physical or magical in nature and ignoring the actual damage that the attack should cause. This Noble Phantasm also grants the effect of automatic regeneration, including resurrection after death, reviving him with a stock of eleven extra lives through layered resurrection magic; Heracles has lives equalling the number of labours he overcame to atone for his sins, rendering him an "immortal" being who must be killed once for each labour to be fully eliminated. For him to be damaged, he must be hit by A-rank attacks or above, requiring the opponent to have at least an A-rank "normal attack" registered through their Strength statistic, A-rank magecraft, or an A-rank Noble Phantasm. Additionally, every time he is harmed by an attack, regardless if it leads to death or not, he will gain resistance after he heals, with subsequent attacks from the same source becoming increasingly ineffective. Subtitle: Shooting the Hundred Heads Type: Unknown Rank: C~A+ Range: “As the occasion demands” Maximum number of targets: – Description: A combat technique devised by Heracles during his battle with the immortal Lernean Hydra, originally taking the form of shooting all 100 heads of the Hydra with a bow and arrow, it was later adapted so that it could be emulated with any weapon type and against any opponent. The result was an all-purpose Noble Phantasm capable of adapting and changing how it appears depending on the target and the circumstances of its use. Depending on how it is used Nine Lives can display power from Anti-Unit to Anti-Army, even up to fortress sieging all depending on the circumstances. In essence, it is a high speed attack consisting of nine consecutive strikes, as swift as if the attacks are overlapping. It can also be a rush of extreme speed that adds up to a hundred attacks within a single breath. It changes form depending on the nature of the target. Subtitle: Proof of the First Labour Type: Anti-Unit Rank: B Range: – Maximum number of targets: – Description: the pelt of the Nemean Lion, obtained by Heracles after exterminating the beast during his First Labour. The beast's skin, through an arduous method, was worked by Heracles into the form of a long, decorated cloth with a distinct pattern. It is worn like a robe over one shoulder and covering his torso. The Nemean Lion was a species of a Demonic or Divine Beast, similar to the Ugallu of Babylon. Such creatures can "reject" human civilization, the Nemean Lion acting like a singularity that rejects human civilization itself. This ability is retained by its pelt, Gilgamesh likening it to an armour that cannot be pierced by any tool created by humans. The pelt's vulnerability is in attacks not delivered by human weapons. Punches, swipes of claws, other forms of natural weapon and the such all directly affect Heracles. The pelt is inherently tough, so though it may be pierced, it will not be ripped apart by such attacks. Subtitle: Pillars Which Bear the Burden of Atlas Type: Anti-Unit Rank: A Range: – Maximum number of targets: 1 Description: A Noble Phantasm which takes the form of two large stone pillars. These pillars as the same as those which once stood on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar, that Heracles erected in order to take the burden of the sky off of Atlas’ shoulders so that the titan could retrieve the golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides as part of his eleventh labour. In this form they are large, heavy and unwieldy weapons which Lancer swings around without grace and uses to simply crush his opponents with brute force. Originally intended to support the sky itself, these pillars have been repurposed as weapons but still carry the conceptual quality of “bearing a great burden”. When striking an opponent with these pillars Heracles is able to impart some of this “burden” to that opponent, gradually weighing them down with the weight of the heavens that Atlas once bore on his back. As the burden increases, one would find it harder and harder to move, each step feeling increasingly heavy, until even taking a step becomes an impossible task; however, as the weight one feels is only conceptual there is no harm to the bearer even when the full burden is applied. |
Personality
__________________________________________________________Arguably the most famous hero of Greek legend, Heracles’ status as a “faultless hero” is further enhanced by being summoned within one of the Knight Classes. Heroic and noble and with a strong moral core that cannot be completely erased even by madness or by Command Seals, Heracles’ will not compromise on his core values even if commanded to by his Master and is willing to go against their orders if necessary.
Capable of fighting with cunning and strategy as well as brute force, Heracles is nonetheless known for his occasional moments of great anger and fits of rage. From beating his harp instructor to death as a child to many other episodes of killing people in anger over his lifetime, the act of going berserk is something that Heracles will never fully escape.
Background
__________________________________________________________Heracles was a demi-god born from Zeus, the king of the gods, and a human woman. While he had superior talent in all areas, he had a number of personality issues. He beat his lyre instructor, Linus to death after he reprimanded Heracles for making errors and then caned him with rods, so his mortal father Amphitryon sent him to tend his cowherds. He thus became a splendid man who accomplished several great deeds that caused the King of Thebes to grant Heracles his daughter, Megara. They had two children, and he earned the right to succeed the king.
He was both young and strong and it seemed that there was no match for him among humans. His future seemed bright, having married the king's daughter and bearing two children, but Zeus's wife, Hera, detested the child born between Zeus and a human. She meddled with his fate at every opportunity, and she started by sending madness to him that caused him to kill his family. Troubled by the sins he had committed, he received a sign that he should atone by becoming the slave of Eurystheus, the man who took away his promised position as king.
Eurystheus, jealous of the strong hero, gave him many difficult tasks, and claimed that Heracles would remain his slave until they were completed. These difficult labours were tasks impossible to complete with normal human skills that later came to be known as the famous Twelve Labours of Heracles. The number of labours originally chosen by the gods was ten, but Eurystheus added two more labours after denying the fulfilment of two of them. Heracles managed to complete even those tasks, so he was granted not only his freedom, but he also received an immortal body as proof of his great accomplishments.
This marked the beginning of the great hero Heracles, the greatest hero in Greece, who singlehandedly achieved great deeds equalling those of the Trojan War and the Argo Expedition. Despite that, Hera's hatred was endless, so the rest of his life was again full of madness. While he should have been immortal, he was killed by poison by one of his wives. Though he was a great hero equally matched with the sun god even as a human, he was slowly killed by Hera's persistent jealousy. His wife was tricked into making him wear a shirt stained in the Hydra poison-tainted blood of the centaur Nessus, sealing his fate, at which point he build a pyre for his own funeral and burned himself, entrusting himself to Zeus' judgment. The gods approved of his great deeds in a conference, prepared a seat in Olympus after his death, and acknowledged him as a god.
