True Name: Sinbad the Sailor
Aliases: The Sailor of Baghdad
Class: Rider
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 150lbs
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Wish for the Grail: Sinbad wishes to have one last great voyage, since he felt his last one was cut short by his advanced age.
Personality: Sinbad is a sailor. He has sailed for many years, and despite the impossible odds and many close calls with death, he always managed to survive. In a way, he used to be terrified, but as time went on, and his last 7th voyage faded from his memory, he felt a desperate need for once more. In a way, he needed to prove that he could cheat death once more, before he finally passed on. And yet, he never got that chance. Old age caught up with him, and his family would not let him leave. Instead, he wallowed away, recounting his tales each time until he had nothing left to give.
Except, as time as marched on, the regretful man's legend has faded, to become a swashbuckling rogue. A powerful captain, rather than a merchant. In a way, his personality has become more jovial, and drips with the power of a man who defied fate and legend. In a way, both his personalities have merged. Becoming once more a young spirited man with a seeking for fortune and adventure. And a healthy dose of blind optimism. And a even healthier dose of cheating death.
Background: Long ago in Baghdad, there was a rich family, until they passed on. Leaving their only child, Sinbad with a fortune so massive he'd never lose it. But lose it he did. He spent so much, and so frivolously that by the time he was a man he had nothing left. Selling what little he had left, he took on the life of a merchant.
His crew reached an island, where when they stepped upon it, turned into a whale that dragged them all to the bottom of the sea. Instead of dying, Sinbad awoke on the shore of a distant kingdom, where the king took an interest in his story. Eventually, the survivors came to the kingdom, and Sinbad's goods were recovered. He traded with the king, and returned to Baghdad all the richer for it. Six times more he set out, and six more disasters loomed.
By the time of this 7th, and final voyage he had been scarred. No longer willing to risk his life, he retired to luxury. But as he gazed out into the sea, he couldn't help but feel like he was missing out. As his life neared an end, he planned a 8th voyage, but in his age, he passed away before the ship even left dock.
His story was collected by Shahrazad, and passed along to others, and eventually made it into the Arabian Nights. His legacy secured, he became a heroic spirit.

Noble Phantasm: A++
Class Skills:
- Riding A - Sinbad's seven voyages nearly killed him, and he was shipwrecked often. But, in later stories his legend has evolved. A new mythology of captaining many ships has transcended so that he can ride anything. Divine being, carpet, or phantasmal creature. There is nothing he cannot ride, and probably for the better of all things. He has also risen to being a dashing daredevil, that has only made his tales all the grander.
- Magic Resistance C - Sinbad met many magical individuals, and through his travels he managed to survive curses, hexes, and the like. Most low close magic cannot harm him, adding to his legendary ability to survive despite the odds.
Personal Skills:
- Survivor of Disaster A - Sinbad has had his ships crash many times. He has been abandoned many times, but his luck has always held. In a way, his luck is not so much about being inherently lucky and avoiding hardship, but in that he will always escape and survivor despite the odds. He will manage to survive disasters, and even fatal wounds will not finish him off if he manages to escape. If he is riding something, anything, the object he is riding will always take the damage for him, and he will survive. As long as he is riding something, he will always survive.
- Collector C - While he managed to amass a fortune, this was often gifts from the rich and fabulous that he ran into. Rather, this skill compels others to give to him, rather than have him search out for his own riches. He will gather wealth, and many of his noble phantasms came as gifts.
- Golden Rule B - Sinbad's wealth has in a way managed to outlive his frivolous lifestyle. He spends far too quickly, but because of his travels he has far more wealth than even he could spend in one, or even five lifespans. And should he ever run low, he knows exactly where to get more.
Combat Capabilities: Sinbad is not a strong servant. Physically he's fairly weak, because his tales often focused on his ability to survive impossible odds, rather than any true strength. He doesn't even have all that great endurance, and rather survives by simply defying the impossible. He uses a fairly simple sword, with no unique skills, and very little training. Instead he relies on his mount, a powerful Roc that can lift other creatures from the sea. Or even his ability to cheat death in a sword fight. In other aspects, he can rely on a powerful storm.
Noble Phantasms:
Name: The Seven Voyages of Sinbad سبع رحلات من السندباد
Rank: A
Type: Bounded Field
Description: A kind of cheat code masquerading as a noble phantasm. Sinbad has collected innumerable treasures despite the many times he cheated death. This skill allows him to let others do the same. By targeting another person, usually his Master, they will survive a fatal injury explosion, or violent death. Even if their head is removed. Only abilities that cheat fate can cheat this cheat. He can even do this on himself. But, he can only invoke this cheat seven times. Once for each of his seven voyages.
Visually, after a person dies, they will flicker out of existence, and then reappear right where they died, or at a safe distance if the object that killed them is still occupying the same space. Depending on how much mana is returned to him by his master, he can reset this skill, but the amount of mana required is particularly heavy, and often requires sacrifices, as a single master would never be able to give him the mana requirements on their own.
Name: The Roc روك
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Description: A mighty monster pulled right from the stories of Arabian myth. The Roc is a terrifying bird with a size large enough to pluck a blue whale from the ocean for a feast. Even as a chick the Roc is several times larger than a man, and as a full grown beast it can pluck vessels from the oceans. During his travels, Sinbad and his crew found the egg of a Roc, and broke it open. While they did eat it, from then one Sinbad has inherited from it the strength of the divine beast, and can call upon it as a steed for battle.
Name: Storm of the Century عاصفة من القرن
Rank: A++
Type: Bounded Field
Description: Sinbad's ships were often struck by storms that swept the crew and even islands away. Capturing all inside, Sinbad forces all involved to survive a storm capable of turning mountains to sand, and human lives swept away. This storm can wipe away armies, and even other servants. Though for the most part it is a bounded field designed to wipe away great waves of enemies at a time. If inside another bounded field or reality marble, this skill can be activated even there. Destroying the reality the other servant has forced out.
