IC Information:
Name: Rider
Fandom: Fate/stay Night
Timeline: Post Heaven's Feel True End
Age: Ageless, though appears in her early 20s
Appearance: Rider is extremely tall, has extremely long purple hair down to the soles of her feet, and has pink eyes always concealed behind her mask, or a pair of glasses. In Servant form, she wears a rather revealing black outfit, rimmed with purple straps. In this form, she wears her mask to cover her eyes, and has a forehead tattoo. In civillian form, Rider sticks to a surprisingly modest black sweater and jeans. In this form, her tattoo disappears, her mask changes to glasses, and she keeps her hair tied behind her.
Abilities:
Servant-wide abilities:
Servant classes: hundreds of times more powerful than your ordinary human. Rider is one of the more agile of the classes, and by far the fastest, able to move at nigh-supersonic speeds. She can nullify most magic thrown at her. She can become intangible when she wills it so, being able to pass through solid objects, and invisible to all but her Master. Though this form presents an advantage, she must switch back to her concrete form if she needs to engage in physical combat. As she is not mortal anymore, Rider cannot truly die. If she is injured, she will sink into spirit form and regenerate with time. Even if she is mortally wounded, all that will happen is her withdrawal from the war; her "spirit" will remain unharmed.
Note that as a Heroic Spirit, she will need a regular flow of prana to survive in this world, properly. Her independent action is C-rank, meaning she is able to exist without a Master for around 1 day.
Unique abilities:
Rider's eyes, called officially "Mystic Eyes" in the Nasuverse, will instantly petrify human flesh into stone, and hamper the magical energy of stronger beings. She also seems to be able to manipulate others' dreams, and sneak into them. Her signature weapon, which she can summon at will, is a pair of large iron nails fastened to the ends of a long chain.
With a prana boost, Rider is able to significantly raise her physical strength, though it tires her out more. She has a small amount of divinity as well (divinity equating with god-ship).
Noble Phantasms:
Breaker Gorgon -- it takes the shape of her blindfold, and completely blocks out the effects of her eyes. They can also take the form of a pair of glasses.
Blood Fort Andromeda -- Rider is able to set up a barrier in a fixed location, and drain the prana of all those who are within it. More specifically, it drains the occupants of their blood, and only those with magical energy are able to resist it. Those without it will die instantly, and the only ones who won't be affected by it in the least are other Servants, and high-class magi. Additionally, it acts as a barrier between the occupants and the outside world, as when activated, no communication can be done from the inside out. It stays in effect until Rider dies or wills it to dissipate.
Bellerophone -- A harness, bridle, and saddle capable of taming and amplifying tenfold the power of beasts. It does nothing on its own, but once used on a beast, it instantly bends to Rider's will. This comes hand in hand with her status as the Rider class of the War; she is able to tame and ride nearly any beast of any rank in her path, and with ease.
On a more minor note, Rider's chief weapon is a chain fastened to the ends of two iron nails, which she can summon at will.
Personality:
Rider has her own motivations besides seeking the Holy Grail, and despite suffering through more abuse by her fake Master, Shinji Matou, she stands tall and proud. Frequently demoralized, and unable to comfort her true master, Sakura Matou, Rider is presented as a cold and silent woman, bound to her duty more than anything else.
However, what matters most to her is simple: peace. She wants nothing more than to live peacefully with Sakura, though she ironically must fight to get her wish. She is completely devoted to Sakura, and will not hesitate to kill others that are threatening her. She is shown to be the happiest in the True End of Heaven's Feel, where she is living with Sakura and Shirou, and is no longer enemies with Rin.
That devotion is not solely to Sakura, however, and Rider is shown to be a woman of respect and truthfulness. In Fate, when Shinji sends her out to kill Shirou, she recognizes him as an honorable person and says that she won't brutally kill him. When off the battlefield, she proves to be charismatic and kind, and has an affinity for protecting those weaker.
Rider is actually very intelligent to boot. Her manner of speaking is very eloquent, even if she doesn't talk much at all. One of her favorite hobbies is reading, and her thinking process is very logical and neutral.
History:
In the Age of the Gods, Rider lived as the Greek monster of legend, Medusa. Rider and her sisters, Stheno and Euryale, were born from the wishes of humans to contrast the flaws of the native gods and goddesses. It was soon revealed however, that Rider was mortal, while her sisters stayed forever young. From a young age, Stheno and Euryale relentlessly bullied Rider, both mentally and physically.
However, most of this was in her imagination. Her sisters did truly love her, and in reality, they were only teasing her. When Rider and her sisters were exiled to the Shapeless Isle when Athena became jealous of their beauty, Rider slowly morphed into the monster she is well-known as. Thus, her mental state deteriorated and she grew ruthless in slaying the men that came to visit her and her sisters.
Rider, after devouring her sisters and becoming a legendary monster, was eventually decapitated by Perseus, and deeply regretted her actions in life.
Rider ascended and became a Heroic Spirit, and thousands of years later, in the present day, she was summoned by Sakura Matou for participation in the Fifth Holy Grail War. Only, Sakura did not want to fight. So the Book of False Command was constructed to give Shinji, Sakura's brother, control over Rider through one of Sakura's command spells. Shinji frequently abused both Rider and Sakura verbally and sexually, though Rider stood tall through it. She tried to protect Sakura, but she could not do much while under Shinji's command.
At the start of the Heaven's Feel route, the protagonist, Shirou Emiya, decides to go and scout out the park with his own Servant, Saber. They spot Rider killing a civilian, drinking their blood to get mana (which Shinji can't give her). Saber quickly defeats Rider in the latter's weakened state, and Rider starts to disappear from the war. Shinji, however, orders Sakura to use her second command spell to re-summon Rider, which she does. When True Assassin attacks Saber and Shirou, Sakura orders Rider to sneak out and protect them. She cannot help Saber, who gets swallowed up by True Assassin's darkness, but she manages to save Shirou.
Sakura begins staying at Shirou's house when a mysterious killer begins prowling the streets of Fuyuki City, and this greatly upsets Shinji. Shinji kidnaps Sakura and tells Shirou to come to the school, lest he murder her. Shirou oblidges, and Shinji orders Rider to beat up Shirou without killing him. Noticeably, Rider holds back from damaging anything important. Shinji grows tired of this, however, and orders Rider to kill Shirou. Rider hesitates, and Rin and her Servant, Archer burst in and let Shirou grab Sakura.
Rider reveals that Sakura is her Master, and that from this point on, she would not obey Shinji any longer. Shinji's book goes up in flames, and he tries to attack Sakura only to be repeatedly thwarted by Rider. Shinji tries to flee, but not before activating a strange earring placed upon Sakura. A boundary field activates around the building, and Sakura goes berserk. Archer suggests killing Sakura, but Rider defends her, and removes her blindfold. Her identity is revealed, and Shirou decides that the best course of action is to flee with Rin and Archer.
A while later, after Sakura is stabilized, she and Rider begin living with Shirou. Rider is initially distrustful of him, but as his dedication and love become apparent, she warms up to him.
Eventually, though, Sakura begins to succumb to her dark urges. In a fit of rage, when Shinji threatens to blackmail her, Sakura murders him and is consumed by her own dark side. Dark Sakura attempts to murder Rin, but Shirou and Ilya intervene. Sakura agrees to let Shirou and Rin go, but in exchange, Ilya must come with her. Ilya agrees, and Rider escorts Rin and Shirou to the Kotomine Church, the "safe house" during the war.
After a rocky patch, Rider and Shirou formally become allies. The two of them plus Rin head to the cave where the Holy Grail is being prepared. Rin fights with Sakura, and Rider and Shirou are forced to fight against Saber, who is under the influence of True Assassin still. Rider breaks out Bellerophon, and Shirou backs her up with a projected Rho Aias. Together, they break through Saber's Excalibur, and Shirou frees her from True Assassin's darkness--unfortunately with a killing blow.
Shirou and Ilya eventually destroy the Holy Grail, with the latter sacrificing herself. After the War is formally over, and Sakura is freed from her servitude to both the Matou family and the Holy Grail itself, she begins living with Shirou once more. Rider stays as Sakura's Servant out of emotional loyalty, and the three of them have a peaceful life.
Roleplay Sample - Log:
It was an odd feeling, waking up. When was the last time she'd actually slept? Was it...was it back when she was a human? Maybe. She couldn't really remember. But the problem at hand was....why was she sleeping, even?
Rider sat up. So she was in her street clothes? Her glasses just rested upon her nose. She didn't recognize the room at all. If somewhere so pristine and formal existed in Shirou's house, she would have known about it.
The walls yielded no clues, and she did not want to chance opening the door quite yet. In the corner, there stood a closet. Multiple copies of her outfits back home were neatly placed there. (Frankly it kind of unnerved her.)
But the most disconcerting thing was the lack of Sakura's presence. Even if she was a mile away, Rider could at least sense her faintly. Right then, in that strange white room, she felt nothing at all.
Sakura was not here. Not in this building, not in this prefecture....not anywhere near at all.
Rider settled back on the bed, trying to analyze the situation. The most logical choice would be to leave the room and see what was beyond it. She started to get up once more, when she spotted a small, metal-like device sitting on the edge of the bed. It had not been thee before.
The young woman picked it up tentatively, and with a few button-presses, it whirred to life....
Roleplay Sample - Journal:
[There's not much hesitation before a glasses-clad Rider begins speaking.]
Don't doubt I have many questions. But there are two primary matters at hand.
[Rider holds up two fingers, and her facial expression grows vicious.]
One - what is this collar? Why has it been placed upon me? And two - Sakura Matou, my Master. Where is she? What have you done with her?
Answers, now.
This game includes horrible mental and physical torture of your character. After reading the rules/faq for clarification, how do you expect your character to handle this and continue to function?
Rider will not crack easily. She's already been through a lot of bullshit in her life, both mental abuse, constant fighting, and, uh...the sexual abuse. She's a tough cookie. If she stood through all of that, she'll do just fine in Fac.
Questions? Comments? Crazed and creative statements? Those go here.
