Servant Class: HUNTER
Image: http://i56.tinypic.com/s0wu2p.jpg
True Name: Atalanta
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Master: Fujou Shizuka
Personality: Hunter is a cold and calculating person, always calm and collected, even under heavy pressure. Like any other Heroic Spirit, she has a great amount of pride, but she doesn’t let it interfere with herself. Her normally cheerless personality contrasts strongly with that of her Master, however, they somehow get along greatly, complementing themselves pretty well.
Even though she always looks calm, she is incredibly competitive and merciless, and always seeks victory above everything else. The type of person that never gives up, no matter what, just out of pure pride and willpower. No matter what the challenge it is, she shall surpass it with all her power.
As she lived a life without a single regret, in this new life given to her, she just seems to want to perform new heroic deeds, and gain glory as one of the powerful Heroes of times past. Just to experience battle over and over again, it is expected for her to focus on the Duel Chart. As she behaves like she had no wish of her own, Hunter acts like she cares little for the Grail War, and seems more interested in unveiling the mysteries behind OLYMPUS along with her Master. However, she indeed possesses a hidden wish, one that even herself doesn’t know: To change the past, and avoid the curse of Zeus that destroyed her life, and thus, to live happily with her husband.
Hunter is distrusting of men, although she has learned to be around them thanks to her time sailing with the Argonauts. As Hunter only has loved one man in her whole life, she will reject any advances toward herself, despite her incredible beauty.
She enjoys hunting, competing against others, and sports in general, specially the martial kind.
Her relationship with Shizuka is one of partnership. She is utterly loyal to her, as she considers even thinking of betraying her as an un-heroic action. However, they have a certain disagreement on tactics. While Hunter herself isn’t above ambush and trickery, she prefers to battle her enemies in a frontal, glorious battle, instead of the more occult methods her Master favors.
Backstory:
A dying beast laid in the middle of a temple.
The stone statues watched the once powerful beast die in silence.
She had been a hero. An human blessed by the goddess.
Someone whose heroic deeds were sung in legends.
She had slain more than a thousand beasts.
She had remained pure during most of her life.
And she had obeyed every one of her oaths.
Yes... one could say that she indeed had no regrets on her life.
The old beast could not stand anymore.
Her eyes could not see anymore.
Her once speedy body could not move anymore.
She felt warmth, and she thought about the mother bear that had fed her during her infancy, when her father had left her to die.
She felt her last breaths, and she remembered her heroic deeds, the fight against the powerful centaurs, the travels with her eternal companions, the Argonauts. And the moment of her whole life, the fight against the Calydonian Boar, the powerful divine beast that rampaged through Calydon.
She then felt for the last time the wind against her body, and images of her races against her numerous suitors appeared on her mind.
It had been a long time. It had been a long life. Save for one single mistake, it was a life without any regret.
And, as the old lioness felt her last heartbeats, she thought of the one she had loved, of the one she had been separated forever.
And in the ending moments of her end, she wished.
She wished for the only man she had ever loved.
Thusly died Atalanta, alone, with only the cold, stone eyes of the statues in Zeus honor to watch over her.
Stats:
STR: C
END: C (B)
AGI: A
MGI: C
LCK: E (D)
NP:
Skills:
Divine Beauty: D
D: At this rank, either mental-warding skills or medium rank MGI can ward of the enchantment.
Hunter was famed by her beauty that almost transcended human capacity. Indeed, many are those who challenged death to be her suitors, and failed at the task.
Battle Continuance: C
C: At this rank, the Servant may ignore crippling blows with ease, doing so with effort and will.
A product of Hunter’s powerful amounts of willpower.
Bravery: C
C: At this rank, the Servant is resistant to most mental interferences, and those that do affect him are lessened greatly.
Eye of the Mind (False): B
B: At this rank, the Servant is able to sense the majority of changes made on the battlefield, as well as perceive the intent to some extent, giving him a general idea.
An ability that represents Hunter’s immense hunting skill, the conceptualization of the way she always sensed her preys movements, and even its intent.
Rebellious Fate: B
B: Cancels high charisma and leadership abilities.
She fought against her fate by trying to remain a virgin. Even if at the end the gods ploy made her fail, she endured a long time before being married to a man.
Vitrification: A
A: By allowing herself to become one with the environment, can effectively disappear out of reach for any method of detecting an enemy.
Another conceptualization of Hunter’s Hunting Skill.
Instinct: A
A: At this rank, this heightened sixth sense is now close to precognition. It reduces by half any obstacles to vision and hearing.
A natural born skill for Hunter, perfected in years and years of hunting. What made her the best at what she does, indeed.
Projectile Creation – Arrows: D
D: The ability to create from almost nothing but air, by paying in prana, arrows of very good quality, without any special characteristic.
Noble Phantasms:
Artemisa’s Blessing
GOD SPEED
Type: Anti – Unit
Rank: A
A blessing of a goddess, given to Hunter as she dedicated herself to Artemisa, remaining a Virgin Hunter for most of her life. To put it in simple terms, an skill that became conceptualized as a Noble Phantasm, the grand mark of Hunter’s legend: Her unrivaled, “Absolute Speed.”
She can’t lose in a contest of speed. Be it reflexes, attack speed, movement speed, and the like, she will always be faster than her opponent, no matter how much their AGI stat surpasses her. The only way to get through this is by a distraction, or circumstances and trickery. This is the final skill that differences her of others Heroic Spirits, since it is a Passive Noble Phantasm that always remains active and consumes no prana whatsoever. (Now it is an activable one and does consume prana.) However, this skill has a special weakness to not working when the mind suffers an interference as powerful as B rank or above.
Calydonian Boar Skin
DIVINE MANTLE
Type: Anti – Unit
Rank: B+
A dark, heavy, hairy mantle of boar skin that Hunters covers herself with. It is incredibly resistant, while being malleable and flexible enough to serve as a cape. The powerful skin of a Divine Beast, it confers its wearer the protection that a beast of such rank has. No attacks or magecraft under B rank can go through the protection given by the powerful skin, and both LCK and END are boosted by a full rank each due to the divine blessings conferred by the mantle.
Truly a powerful Noble Phantasm, even if it holds a great weakness against anti-divinity or anti-beasts attacks, just the conceptual power of the defensive properties that equal a Divine Beast is scary enough, but the blessings given to the Calydonian Boar make it so that a class normally characterized by its low stats suddenly shows an amount of resistance that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.
This is one of Hunter’s most prized possessions, and she wouldn’t even think of taking it off for anything in the world, as she sees it as a symbol and proof of her heroic deeds, and finally triumphing over the discrimination she suffered for her gender in ancient times. For every rank it defends against other types of attacks, it suffers against anti-beast/divinity attacks.
Celestial Bow
BEAST SLAYER
Type: Anti – Unit
Rank: C+
A powerful looking bow, it doesn’t seem to hold any special properties at first, but the extremely reinforced wood is enchanted. It is the bow that was used to hunt the infamous Calydonian Boar, and has slain more than a thousand beasts and nature spirits, centaurs included. Any arrow fired by this bow immediately gains a two rank boosts against anything that is either a beast or divine. Thusly, this is a dangerous weapon disguised under the aspect of a normal hunting bow.
It was created specifically for Hunter, so it could handle her insane attacking speed, putting arrow after arrow after arrow in a single breath, and is capable of unleashing a true rain of deadly arrows in amazingly shorts amounts of time.
However, this bow also carries another Noble Phantasm. Just like Ea is the Sword of Rupture, and Enuma Elish the attack, when this bow is “activated”, Hunter throws an attack called “The Seven Arrows of Ursa Major – Star Fall.”
This attack consist of powerful arrows wrapped in burning energy, that rain like shooting stars, falling from the seven stars of Ursa Major. It can shoot seven times in a row. She first determines the target, and then the shots will converge and attack that target. Normally, the target cannot be changed, but if the target dies midway, the remaining shots can be divided between others in the surroundings.
Because they are fired by the Beast Slayer, the arrow get all the passive bonuses, plus a burning, comet like energy that causes burns to those who get in the vicinity of the arrow. Thus, even if one blocks the arrow and avoids major damage, they still get burned by that powerful energy.
As the enchanted arrows are homing, and thus unavoidable by normal means, they check against the Servant’s END. Those with END Rank B and above are able to survive it, while those with C Rank END may be able to survive with the usage of certain skills, though it still damages them. For those who have the Divine or the Beast attribute, the END required to survive this Noble Phantasm is one rank higher.
[16:53] <RacingeR> Passively, the bow makes that any attack executed with it gains two ranks when against anything beast/divine
[16:53] <RacingeR> Does that apply to the activation of the same NP, too?
[17:04] <Verg> On the first question, for only 1 rank
