Tokugawa Ieyasu
The House of Peace at the Bamboo River
Tokugawa Ieyasu's Noble Phantasm is Tokugawa Ieyasu himself. The promising lord who died an early death, the clan that carried his dreams fowards, and the buddha who watched over Japan, all these identities mix together in to create the legend that is Tokugawa Ieyasu. This NP is the link created by Ieyasu and his followers, a link possibly stronger than anyone else, that made it possible for Ieyasu to achieve his dream even after death through his comrades. Ieyasu as a servant is then would be better understood as not just "Tokugawa Ieyasu" but rather the entire Tokugawa Clan in a single human body. While Ieyasu's is definitively the dominant personality of the servant, deep inside him there's a near infinite number of subjects, ready to help their lord in any way possible. The NP is directly related to his Expert of Many Specializations skill. While that skill allows Tokugawa Ieyasu to be nearly invincible, normally he is not able to use the full number of skills at his disposal, but he is rather limited in number and categories of skills, as utilizing all those skills requires nothing short of the Holy Grail to fuel the Servant. With this Noble Phantasm then, Tokugawa is able to regulate his skills into sets, that represent members and allies of the Tokugawa Clan. When accessing these "sets" Tokugawa's height, weight and even gender will change to match the "set" additionally when accessing these sets Ieyasu skills, status and even class will change to better match. His personality will also slightly change to better match the original personality of Ieyasu's retainer, especially for those Ieyasu deeply cares about, but the dominant personality will most of the times be Ieyasu. While Ieyasu has a near infinite number of sets that he is able to pick and chose from, Ieyasu has his own personal favorites that he likes to use. Those are the following
(Some of the sets)
The Sleeping Sun
CLASS: ----
STR: E
END: E
AGI: E
MGI: C
LCK: A
Skills: (Charisma, Pretty Boy of Rosy Cheeks, Powerless Husk)
Info:This is Ieyasu's default set. Based around himself back when he was just Matsudaira Takechiyo, a child and a political hostage, this set reduces the prana usage by him to a minimum, while in exchange loses any sort of combat capability. The only thing that is left is the charisma that made the men and woman of Mikawa flock to him from the beginning
The Rising Sun
Class: Saber
STR: B
END: C
AGI: B
MGI: B
LCK: D
Skills: (Charisma, Magic Resistance, Military Tactics, Yagyu Kenjutsu Techniques, Riding, Falconry, Eye of the Mind(False))
Info: Based on the his career shortly his death, where he was just hitting his stride. His default battle set. Here Tokugawa becomes a fairly decent servant that is able to fight against most servants. He is able to use many high-level sword techniques by drawing skills from the Yagyu clan that personally taught swordmanship to all Tokugawa Shoguns. He is equipped with a set of Swords that while are fairly durable are not Noble Phantasms
The King that Guards the North
Class: Lancer
STR: A+
END: A+
AGI: D
MGI: D
LCK: A
Skills: (Bravery, Magic Resistance, Guardian Knight, Eternal Arms Mastership)
Info: Based on Tokugawa Ieyasu's greatest friends and member of the Tokugawa's Four Heavenly Kings, Honda Tadakatsu, and is normally Tokugawa's Ieyasu greatest combat set. With this Tokugawa grows size and muscle considerably and comes equipped with Honda's famous outfit and weapon, though here it has no special effect like it would have if Honda himself were summoned as a Servant. In this form, Tokugawa becomes more stoic than usual. Also it seems that he becomes really fond of strong women. Especially single moms. Keep this a secret to Naomasa Ii
The King that Charges the East
Class: Rider
STR: A++
END: D
AGI: A
MGI: E
LCK: E
Skills: (Riding, Instinct, Battle Continuation, Bravery, Berserk)
Info: Based on another member of Tokugawa's Four Heavenly Kings and the youngest of the bunch, the "Red Devil" Naomasa Ii, and its used by Tokugawa when he desires to blitzkrieg through the enemy. Here Tokugawa gains multiple scars and equips the red armour that made Naotora infamous. With this set also comes a Horse, much faster than normal Horses that Tokugawa can use with proficiency. Tokugawa becomes much more hotblooded here which is a far cry from his usual personality. Also he unlike the previous set it seems that he becomes really weak against strong women. It seems to bring some repressed memories of Naomasa's childhood. Single Mom are scary aren't they Naomasa? Nurturing big sisters where it at. Yeah, like Honda Tadakatsu's teenager daughter, but lets keep this a secret shall we?
The King that Overlooks the West
Class: Caster
STR: C
END: C
AGI: C
MGI: A
LCK: A
Skills: (Territory Creation, Item Creation, Military Tactics, Command of the Strategist, Buddhist Magic)
Info: Based on Sakakibara Yasumasa, another of the Tokugawa's Four Heavenly Kings, and probably the greatest overall general and tactician of the bunch. He is a rare fighting caster that fights on the frontlines and is able to bring the best of his allies. Used by Ieyasu when he wants to act a more supportive role. Physically Ieyasu's build changes to an unassuming man and personally wise he seems to become especially humble with this set. He enjoys bonsais and long walks at morning. Just an overall nice guy. Behind his plain facade he is apparently into some really kinky stuff.
The King that Confuses the South
Class: Archer
STR: B
END: E
AGI: A
MGI: D
LCK: A
Skills: (Independent Action, Magic Resistance, Disengage, Subversive Activities, Clairvoyance)
Info: Based on the last of the Tokugawa's Four Heavenly Kings, Sakai Tadatsugu, that was known for his trickery in the battlefield, with the constant uses of many ruses that saved the Tokugawa clan from certain anihilation, the most notable one being the one employed at Mikatagahara the allowed Ieyasu to survive initially and pass his dream for his clan. For being tricky dude Sakai set combat wise is remarkably strong, giving strong arms to Ieyasu that is now able to shoot swords from his bow. While using this set Ieyasu becomes much more sarcastic than usual, and now likes to play a loner. Deep inside though, Ieyasu can feel the remorse that comes from wearing this set, the remorse of one that was unable to save his lord even after using tricks in his mind. Also surprisingly old fashioned with the girls.
The Dead King that rests in the Center
Class: Berserker
STR: B
END: A++
AGI: C
MGI: E
LCK: E
Skills: (Mad Enhancement, Bravery, Honor of the Battered, Attendant of Iron)
Info: The set that represents Torii Mototada, one of Tokugawa Ieyasu's closest friend and unnoficial member of the Four Heavenly Kings. Mototada once a brilliant man, was one of the person most affected by Ieyasu's demise. Since that event he begun to felt great shame for allowing Ieyasu to die and stopped caring about his appearance, throwing himself into battles seemingly without a care for his body and even fasting himself, which leads to Ieyasu becoming incredibly ghastly when using this set. It was his sacrifice prior to the battle of Sekigahara that allowed the Tokugawa clan to emerge victory once and for all. Ieyasu is glad but also hurt by Mototada lack of care for his life, so he will always feels guilty when using his set which coupled with Mototada own guilt makes Ieyasu a very moody dude when using this set. Has a nice smile.
The Shadow that walks amongst the Kings.
Class: Assassin
STR: D
END: D
AGI: A
MGI: B
LCK: B
Skills: (Presence Concealment, Planning, Shadow Lantern, The Art of the Shinobi)
Info: This set represents "The Demon" Hanzo Hattori, the leader of Tokugawa's Ninja division, One of Ieyasu's greatest confidant, and also a girl. Acted like a nurturing but strict teacher for most of his life, and eventually ended up falling secretly in love for Ieyasu, Hanzo was arguably the greatest master on the art of the Ninja in history and at her peak it would be more fair to compare her to a Phantasmal Beast than a Human. By herself she probably could change the tides of entire military campaigns. The death of Ieyasu holds heavy on her mind. While Tokugawa is normally okay with changing gender through his Noble Phantasm, learning much later after death that she fell in love with him made things very embarrassing for Tokugawa. It's the forbidden student-teacher releationship!!!
(Some other sets)
These are Tokugawa's most favorite and special sets, that holds dear to his heart. But again, Ieyasu can bring other sets if he wishes to do it. Childs, Grannies, Courtesans, Blacksmiths, Monks, Cripples, the Tokugawa Clan spread over 200 years and there are many followers, that are willing to help Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu will for the most part though, not have much of their personality influenced like those past sets. The only time Ieyasu is not the dominant personality is when Ieyasu for some reason loses his conscience and if they're in danger. When that happens the entire collective of the Tokugawa clan will try to assume direct control over Ieyasu's body and will do whatever it takes to save their lord from immediate danger. Its almost impossible to reason with Tokugawa when that happens and while it will probably not try to attack people that Ieyasu deems as friends, they will do whatever it takes to survive, including trying to get all the skills necessary for the job which might result in a massive prana drain to their master. And that consumption of Prana, is probably Ieyasu's greatest problem as a servant, as even if the sets are somewhat economical, changing between them costs a lot and its not something that should be done constantly at will tire both Ieyasu and their Master. But like mentioned previously, if Tokugawa is able to get a hold of an enormous prana battery, then he will be able to use his powers to their full potential and forcefully guide the world through a new era
The Light That Guides All
Class:Saver
STR: A
END: A
AGI: A
MGI: B
LCK: A
Skill: (Counter Hero, Charisma, Expert of Many Specializations, Enlightenment of the Fig)
Info: The Ultimate form, Tōshō Daigongen, incredibly prana expensive, Buddha that has access to the full range of the Expert of Many Specializations skill. Just by activating this form, Ieyasu begins to change the surrounding locations. Ieyasu will begin to forcefully transform the surroundings into his idyllic dream. Flora and Fauna will rapidly spawn entangling everything in its verdant growth. Ieyasu will eventually begun to open a hole that links this world to the other side, and unless he is stopped before getting used to his full power he will be able to bring all sorts of Phantasmal Beasts out of that hole and control them for their binding. This grasp on the world, the forcefully change through force is the "Sakoku". The land will be unifed and set in place, by the Great Light either she likes it or not
Rank EX - Anti-Unit(Self)
