Character Age: Thousands of years old, but appears to be a teenager.
Background: Wiki
Personality:
Avenger is possibly the worst servant ever. It's almost a dishonor to the rest to even call him one. He's extremely lazy and laid back, which has lead to many problems for both his master and himself. While other servants are constantly at the beck and call of their master, Avenger is much like a disobedient puppy. He has a short attention span, finds himself amused with things nobody else would care about, and he tends to sleep too much.
While other servants are more than happy to fight, if not for their masters then their selves, Avenger would rather avoid it if possible. This is due to him being a lazy ass AND the fact that he is pretty damn weak. It's sad when your master is stronger than you, even sadder when your master has to protect you.
Oh, but that's not all! Due to the circumstances of his past, Avenger has grown quite bitter towards humanity. While he does try to avoid interaction with humans, it's inevitable that he has to sometimes. This usually leads to a lot of awkwardness until he's finally pissed off enough to chew them out. These occurrences will most likely leave the other party confused and/or offended. There are very few people he finds worthwhile, and he does consider them family to some extent. Given enough time, he could easily warm up to anyone, provided they prove they aren't total jerks.
That being said, there is something Avenger enjoys. The world itself has never done any wrong to him, and he finds it beautiful. While he usually despises the bustle of the city, the silent beauty of nature calls to him. No matter the scenery, he feels more at ease among the flora and fauna. It reminds him of his original life, and how simple and peaceful everything used to be.
Avenger's past deeply ties into his current interactions in the world. Friends and family alike came up to the mountain where he was chained to deliver his punishment in the most horrible ways imaginable, without ever giving him so much as a look of pity. He had never seen this side of humanity before, and for all he knew, ALL humans could be capable of this level of 'evil'. While he did eventually accept his role, he swore to never forgive those that had done this to him. While he's aware that the humans of today are not those same people, he still has a hard time trying to trust them. When he does eventually accept someone as more of a friend than an outsider, they'll see his real personality. While he is still a bit crude in some respects, he's generally acts much more friendly.
His motivations are mostly doing what he was robbed of so early in his life. While he does miss the thrill of hunting, raising livestock, even tilling the fields... Now, he would love nothing more than to just live the simple life. Swimming around in a giant lake, playing around with whatever wildlife he may find, or just laying out on a grassy field at night and staring up at the stars above.
Abilities: Being the weakest of the servants seen thus far, Avenger doesn't have very many abilities. Compared to the rest, his stats are horrendously low. About the only advantage he would have is his agility. As far as his unique abilities go...
Tawrich & Zarich: Two oddly shaped but identical daggers. Can be used to break swords, but also have a high risk of breaking themselves.
Void Avesta: A curse of sorts which binds to the targets soul and causes them to feel whatever pain they are inflicting on Avenger. Healing won't help any, and the curse only disappears if Avenger's wounds heal or he dies. It would only immobilize other servants, but could possibly kill weaker human.
Sample Entry:
[If one were approaching Mayfield High, they'd notice the boy standing in front of the school talking to himself. Either he didn't care if anyone heard him, or he didn't realize how loud he actually was.]
Oh, come on! You've got to be kidding me! Who the hell has ever heard of a servant attending class!?
...
This is some kind of horrible joke, right? I bet Boss Lady set this up behind my back. Grrr. When I find her, I'm gonna--
[And that was the sound of the bell interrupting him mid-tantrum.]
Damn it! Whatever, lets just get this over with already. It can't be THAT bad.
...right?
[Swallowing whatever pride he had left, he forced himself into the building to quickly find his first class, albeit reluctantly.]
This is going to be one hell of a long day.
