Servant: Beast IV-R
Alignment: Lawful Good
True Name: Hosokawa Gracia
Parameters:
Strength: E
Endurance: EX
Agility: C
Mana: A++
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: --
Background:
An existence born of Hosokawa Gracia's dearest held wish, the
Beast of Contentment is the world she prayed to be born in given life - a world containing no one else, peacefully devoid of conflict, dissent, and longing. A false savior that desires to bring happiness to all by elimination of all points of comparison, leaving only herself.
Differing from the Beast of Comparison, the heart that compares itself to others and vainly measures without result, the Beast of Contentment never looks outside itself in the first place, humbly concluding that nothing else is needed. As a Beast, her ideology is simple, the logic of a self-centered child who endured the attention of others and found deliverance in the promise of salvation outside this world.
Seven billion humans are unnecessary. To give salvation, she will make one blissfully happy.
Personality:
Now unleashed and on full display for what it always was, Hosokawa Gracia's extreme self-love and narcissism run unchecked. While she never truly paid attention to the views of others, passively allowing them to flow over her without acceptance or recognition, now she actively acts to eliminate everything that irritates her - everything that is not her - from her sight.
Beast IV-R has no interest in conversation, other than contently expressing her own thoughts, and finds it difficult if not impossible to regard others as 'human' or even 'things that exist.' If forced to actually acknowledge the existence of others, her calm gives way to a petulant, violent fury, irrationally attempting to tear it apart and scatter its remains, and pacifying as soon as she's again ignorant to its presence.
Class Abilities:
Independent Manifestation
Rank: B
A skill that permits unsupported manifestation into reality. At Rank B, this Skill is a declaration of the holder’s presence across all of space-time, and thereby grants immunity against existential threats by way of time paradox or the instantaneous imposition of death.
Authority of the Beast
Rank: A
An Anti-Human Skill that enhances the skillholder's capacity to harm existences that are classified as Humans.
Personal Skills:
Nega-Recognition
Rank: EX
The special trait of a Beast who sought to bring salvation to the world by absolutely denying the world outside herself. By virtue of absolute denial that history or culture exists outside her own mind, Beast IV-R unconditionally reduces the parameters of Heroic Spirits from other histories by three ranks, and skills that would directly affect the Beast are ineffective and subject to conceptual rejection. A child's belief that "nothing can hurt me if I don't look", taken to its ultimate conclusion.
World Erosion
Rank: EX
A skill unreasonably elevated from Civilization Erosion, this is a subconsciously active skill inherent to the Beast of Contentment. Anything in Beast IV-R's presence is subject to continuous erasure as she shrinks the world around her, unmaking the very fabric of human history around her. Not a true bounded field, but the destruction of anything that could constitute a bounded field, up to and including the common sense of mankind. Until Hosokawa Gracia is alone, until she has been left with only herself, this skill will perpetually impose the reduction of the world, tearing away at people, places, and ideas.
Protection of the Faith
Rank: A+++
A Skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is the absoluteness of one’s body and mind that was born from their beliefs. But if it is too high, it causes abnormalities in the personality. An obsession with solitude and serenity introduced by a well-intentioned book, held close and fostered until it has warped the very nature of her soul, hardening it against any intrusion.
Disengage
Rank: A+++
The ability to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat or reset the battle conditions. As long as she is not definitively, entirely defeated, the world that is Hosokawa Gracia still exists, and damage to her form is completely undone as soon as battle is ended, shedding even conceptual interference and the greatest of curses.
Noble Phantasm(s):
[Her only Noble Phantasm having already been expended, Beast IV-R has nothing that may be regarded as a Noble Phantasm.]
