Class Skills:
Presence Concealment: C
Presence Concealment is the capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. It is a common Class Skill of the Assassin class.
Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. The rank of Presence Concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack.
Personal Skills:
Mental Corruption: A
Mental Corruption is a Skill where due to possessing a distorted mentality, it is possible for one to shut out any mental interference thaumaturgy. However, at the same time, it becomes impossible for one to come to a mutual understanding with individuals who do not possess an equivalent rank of Mental Corruption.
One who would have been classified as suffering from schizophrenia had he been alive in the modern day. His entire family suffered from madness, and it was precisely this madness that caused him to never once question his own motives or intentions, even as he sank further into Hell. Provides a high probability that mental interference magecraft will be rendered ineffective.
Revelation (False): D
Revelation (False) is a Skill to "hallucinate/misinterpret the voice of the heavens" and take optimum action based on the preconceived assumptions of the user’s soul; a Skill equivalent to Instinct, a sixth sense regarding battles. However, "Revelation" accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal. Because the Revelation is a false one, it can be said to be a fragment of the user’s rationality projected as a separate being.
Assassin claimed to have heard the voice of God and an assortment of angels multiple times throughout his life, commanding him to carry on with his grim “holy work.” A selfish excuse blamed on the outside party of “God.” Even John the Apostle appeared before Assassin once, instructing him to wrap himself up in a carpet.
Sadomasochistic Constitution: B
A skill comprising both Sadistic Constitution as well as Masochistic Constitution. Assassin is neither the singular giver nor the receiver of pain, having reached a state in his paraphily that can be called an equilibrium. In addition to the general effects of the composited skills, Sadomasochistic Constitution allows Assassin to forcibly activate the skill by setting his own body as the target.
Assassin’s complex relationship with pain and pleasure began as a boy, when he realized he enjoyed being whipped by the nuns at the orphanage in which he grew up. The pleasure he felt at the pain was given a religious sanction by God in his warped mind, justifying his unending cruelty to others and himself. Young boys were tortured mercilessly at his hands, but Assassin also invited young boys to torture him in turn; beating his rear raw with a studded paddle. Assassin also infamously inserted over two dozen steel needles into his lower body to ensure he was constantly aroused and in pain.
Blood-Sucking: D+
Blood-Sucking is the act of absorbing another's blood to replenish their own health and physical and/or magical strength. It is one of the powers of a vampire. As the Rank raises, the power of absorption increases.
Assassin is not a bloodsucker in the classical sense, rather this Skill stems from his behavior in life as well as a product of his Noble Phantasm. Possibly the most notorious of all American cannibals, Assassin is unable to replenish his health through the consumption of blood alone. Assassin is thus able to heal himself only through a combination of both flesh and blood, with extra efficacy in regard to the flesh of children.
Noble Phantasm(s):
I am the Monster Under Thine Bed
Beware the Demon at Night
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Rank: C+
Range: 1
Max Targets: 1
The ability that belongs to the Phantom that has been fused to Assassin. Or more accurately, an ability that unlocks Assassin’s “true potential” as an avatar of terror.
The Bogeyman.
A global phenomenon that has existed for thousands of years, and exists in some fashion in every single culture on the planet. It is a teaching tool, a bludgeoning instrument used by the parents of the world to forcibly correct the behavior of their children. A man-made demon created by the implications of an incredibly basic curse: a contract between parent, child, and society.
“Behave, or the ‘____________’ will get you.”
It’s this shell of imagination that Assassin wears over his Spirit Core, allowing him to freely transform into any cultural iteration of a bogeyman, no matter how monstrous they might be. Creeping ghouls, fire-breathing dragons, headless skeletons, or a fragment of Satan himself, all of these beings lurk behind the facade that is Assassin.
Is Assassin a physical incarnation of the bogeyman, caught and stripped of Mystery, or is the bogeyman a legendary chain with Assassin merely making up another link in the chain. At this point, it’s impossible to tell the difference. However, there are several forms that Assassin prefers to take, as they were nicknames given to the man beneath the beast.
The Brooklyn Vampire. The Werewolf of Wysteria. The Moon Maniac.
.
Activation of the Noble Phantasm incorporates another ability. Upon Assassin’s transformation into his desired form, his Presence Concealment is boosted remarkably to a rank of A. Except in the case of children, or Heroic Spirits in the form of children, in which case his Presence Concealment is completely ineffective, replaced with a powerful fear-inducing effect. It should be obvious that Assassin’s attacking power as well, is also especially effective against children in this state.
Lore:
Hamilton Howard "Albert" Fish was an American serial killer, child rapist and cannibal. He was also known as the Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria, the Brooklyn Vampire, the Moon Maniac, and The Boogey Man. Fish once boasted that he "had children in every state", and at one time stated his number of victims was about 100. However, it is not known whether he was referring to rapes or cannibalization, nor is it known if the statement was truthful. Fish was a suspect in at least five murders during his lifetime. Fish confessed to three murders that police were able to trace to a known homicide, and he confessed to stabbing at least two other people. He was put on trial for the kidnapping and murder of Grace Budd, and was convicted and executed by electric chair.
When summoned as Assassin, Fish has been fused with the Phantom “The Bogeyman”; a fictional monster used by adults to frighten children into good behavior. Although most incarnations of the bogeyman simply abduct the child, never to be seen again, some other interpretations are notably cannibalistic or even beneficial to the child in question.
Fish only had one regret in life, his murder and devouring of Grace Budd. If a monster like him is capable of having a wish for the Grail, removing that event from history would probably be his. He would get along swimmingly with Gilles de Rais over their shared love of feminine boys and torture, and Jack the Ripper(Assassin) as his deranged mental state would view her as "Grace coming back to join him in his pursuits."
Creator Notes:
Probably too similar to Berserker Jack, but I had just remembered Phantom-fusion was a thing and was wondering why this guy hadn’t been done yet.
