Character Info:
Name: Assassin (Li Shuwen)
Age: I say he's 33. Supposedly, he's in his 30 or 40 at this point.
Canon: Fate/EXTRA
Pull Point: After his death but before appearing again as a Berserker.
Background Info:
History:
Assassin
Fate/Extra
Personality:
Li Shuwen is known for many things, but the most important is that he devoted his life to martial arts and became famous for it. He considers this his most important trait, and it is a path that he doesn't regret at all. The path of someone looking for strength... Either physical or just the conviction of someone's life.
This man is full of pride. He's proud of his lifestyle, his fists and his devotion. Many times he would speak greatly and fondly about how important it was for him, he would also draw comparatives to previous encounters in his life to see how strong an opponent is. However, this is not a boast for his ego or anything, just the normal thoughts of someone who learned, fought and murdered in his past life.
Assassin often seems serious and calm when he's not in battle, having calm conversations with his Master Julius. Outside of battle there's a man who doesn't see the difference between justice and evil, but rather thinks rationally about his acts and reacts accordingly. This is mostly because the way he lived in China in the old times. This reflects in his actions as well as his lifestyle.
To not forget that he trained his body and his inner energy above anything else, he meditates and uses his chi to conceal himself to the point of not being detected. He knows his fists are cursed to only bring destruction, but that doesn't mean he kills for pleasure. In fact, he once said that he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night if he killed as much as his Master did.
To have reached that point, Li Shuwen sacrificed many things, but he holds no regrets. He's truly aware of what his path full of blood brought to him and he left the right to judge him in the hands of Karma.
When in battle he's eager to see what his opponent can do against him. Considering he went trough many battles, his whole life is reflected in his achievements. "A Second Strike is Needless" is attributed to him because of his powerful strike, strong enough to kill a man without having to hit him again. Against the enemy Servant, Assassin often laughs, pleased to meet a strong opponent, and doesn't hold back. If he's not comfortable with something, he will make it clear, depending of the reason of his uncomfortableness.
However, there's another part of him that he doesn't show unless there are special circumstances, which doesn't mean he's not aware of its existence. When the karma of his actions took his life, it was said that Li Shuwen's madness was present until the last moment. The paranoia and hatred that he brought from many murders consumed him alive with their poison. This is also seen when he resisted the deletion of the system in the Holy War, causing him to return later as a Berserker whose only desire was to keep spilling the blood of his enemies as long as he could continue to be alive.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Tower
Justification:
According to the Megaten Wikia The Tower Arcana is commonly associated to overly arrogant, prejudiced and authoritarian organization, which walk to their own ironic demise. describes Li Shuwen's life perfectly. A man that is proud of his own fists caused to live a way to paranoid life because of his enemies. While it is true that he had many students that wanted to learn from him, he trusted in no one, often leaving them behind. He also states that his Demon Fists, as he calls them, can only bring destruction.
At the end, he died poisoned and it was believed that his own paranoia left him to became crazy from his own actions and the karma that got him back. And it's also proved when he returns later in the game as a Berserker when he refused to be deleted from the system.
Samples:
First Person Sample:
[ An audio feed starts to broadcast. At first there's only silence, not even an enemy striking or crying from mercy. Some seconds after, a voice can be heard. ]
Interesting. I must admit that not once in my life I thought something like this would occur. [ The voice comes from a calm man, a bit amused for this whole situation. ] To think that I would arrive to a strange place without Master... Hahaha! Perhaps the one that summoned me here is listening to this, hm? [ A thoughtful pause, as if he's recalling something. ]
However, it seems like this time would be different from that one. I will not swing these fists of mine without provoked. Now, I would appreciate some answers about this place. You may call me Assassin for now if you need a name, heh.
[ With a small chuckle, the recording seems to end. ]
Third Person Sample:
For someone normal, to open their eyes and see they were in another world after dying would be a shocking experience. But for Li Shuwen, the one who struggled until the end to avoid deletion, it felt strange. He remained calm, looking around him trying to see if he could recognize that place.
When he couldn't recall this place from his memories, he didn't try to force it. But he never dropped his guard, as it would be expected of someone who lived his whole life with the burden of the hatred of many people after he killed them.
"I see." He said calmly, studying the situation. He concentrated his chi outside his body to conceal himself again, but found out that this time was different. As he could understand, the man didn't feel the benefits of being a Servant in his body... Which only lead him to one conclusion.
"A human. How interesting." With a small chuckle, he answered the question inside his head. But he had no time to think that as he soon found himself facing an enemy he'd never seen before.
A creature lurking at him during the Dark Hours, crawling in the floor to strike a hit against the man. He acted with his instincts, without taking time to analyze his enemy. "Fate brought you here against these fists of mine. I shall see how strong you are, creature."
One strike was all he needed. But many were the questions he had as he tainted his hands with that creature's blood in the path he accepted to walk once more.
