| Servant Template Class: Saber Alias: Saver True Identity: King Arthur Pendragon Appearance Age: 20s. Gender: Male Appearance: Like many of his Anglo-Saxon bretheren, Saver has a fine white skin tanned only by days spent outside for duels. His torso and legs are slightly lighter than the rest of his body, as they were unable to be tanned from under armor. There are some faded scars across both of his arms and hands from taking swipes in duels to lure the opponent in. The knave kept his hair in a style many years before its time.Despite keeping the lower back of his hair trimmed evenly and only down to his neck, Saver keeps the rest quite unkepmpt. While it is trimmed, it is never even close to being symmetrical. His bangs part close the center of his head, though the split is closer to his right eye than it is the left. Both of his eyes are oddly-colored. Saver's eyes are an almost-radiant turquoise, which is a rare eye color for that time period. Saver has only a slight muscle definition. His abdominal muscles are only slightly defined, as are his biceps and triceps. There are a few burn marks across his back from when he went on a frenzied rage. Saver's leg muscles are quite different from the rest. They are quite well-defined, but not bulging out. Specifically, his calf muscles are perhaps his most well-defined. Saver's main clothing is the armor he wore during his time alive. However, it is reinforced with the Saber-class attribute of magic resistance, as well as summonability. It is unique in the fact that the design is only remotely similar to one other suit of armor. However, even that armor pales in comparison to this magnificent craft. The breastplate of Saver's armor is split into two parts. The upper area of torso just under his neck is a smaller plate. This plate holds a hood in place. Yes, the armor has no helmet. Instead, there is a deep royal blue hood with an ivory-colored stripe down the center, going back to the royal colors of blue and white. The hood is not connected to his undersuit, which too is elegant. The neck of the undersuit has a split down the center to allow for ease of access and exit. There is a gold-colored outline around that opening with golden buttons to make it even more flashy. A fur lining at the top of the neck's opening finishes the ornateness of the undersuit's upper half. On the sleeves, there are a pair of threads interconnected by V-shapes before tying off right above the elbows. The end of the sleeves have a white fur that matches the neck's fur. His gauntlets are done asymetrically. Saver's left sleeve is covered by a gauntlet that has a higher concentration of prana to counter magic. The other hand is not as protected, but it has greater mobility because of that. Brown straps resembling chunks of a leather belt connect the armor and the undersuit. His pauldrons scale like the treads of a tank for two links before their chain is broken by a larger link. An ornate swirl with a pair of wings below ordain the pauldrons' center, with a variation in the center upper breastplate. The variation simply adds another pair of wings above the lower. - Spoiler:
Personality: Saver's main perogative is to uphold Chivalry. He has no other meaning in life except to do that. Yes, even Diarmuid Ua-Duibhne's honor level is shaded by this Knight. He follows the code of Chivalry to a T. Saver will not stray from his ways, and tries to stop others from it. However, he's not always successful. Saver is seen smiling almost 24/7. This isn't to say he's happy all of that time, he just...smiles. Saver's facade of being happy is one of the best many people can put on. Saver can immediately cheer most depressed people up just by his smile, and those who can resist his smile are doomed to unhappiness. Saver harbors no old hatred towards anyone, not even Mordred or Lancelot. In battle...Saver is not smiling. It's the one time his smile turns into a frown. His now-serious expression is one of focus. He rarely takes the initiative, however. Instead, Saver mainly defends himself. This is not to say that he won't take the initiative if his Master is in harm's way. His sense of values is that of a matured man and has a sense of justice. Will bring close things that bring virtue and goodness, and will ascertain those that bring atrocity. He is the image of a hero one can feel good about. In Japanese, the way he refers to himself differs depending on who he talks to. To Megumi, he uses 'boku'. To his enemies, he uses 'watashi'.

Avalon: The Everdistant Utopia (全て遠き理想郷(アヴァロン), ?) is the hallowed scabbard of Excalibur, the embodiment of the utopia King Arthur seeks, originally stolen from him shortly before the Battle of Camlann. It is a luxurious piece of equipment made of gold and decorated with blue enamel that seems more like a treasure to show dignity and nobility like a crown or staff than a weapon. No one knows what kind of a divine mystery it is made from, but it was created by fairies along with Excalibur, its middle engraved with an inscription written in Fairy Letters to show it is not the work of man. It bequeaths limited immortality through constant regenerative simulation, as well as preventing physical deterioration due to aging. Its abilities are potent enough to heal critical and fatal wounds rapidly and restore the wielder's health. It allows for large missing portions of the body to be restored, the regeneration of destroyed organs, even including the heart, and minor injuries such as cuts to quickly heal. It differs from other Noble Phantasms used by Servants, as it is the genuine artifact that was excavated in Cornwall at the request of the Einzberns shortly before the Fourth Holy Grail War. It is used by Emiya Kiritsugu as the catalyst to summon Arthur as a Saber-class Servant and its existence is kept hidden from him. It is still in pristine condition after one thousand five hundred years, though it no longer functions without a connection to its original owner. It is later used to save the life of Emiya Shirou at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, and it is once again used as a catalyst to summon Arthur during the Fifth Holy Grail War. Its function as a Noble Phantasm is an "absolute defense" that completely shields its user in the domain of fairies, Avalon, the unreachable utopia that Arthur dreamed of and was said to have gone to after his death. It is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating its user in a world completely separate from the regular world. The scabbard dissipates into countless tiny particles in the air and immerses the user to become a "portable fortress" that shuts out all interference. It is the Bounded Field of the tranquil domain of fairyland that keeps out all filth from the outside lands, and allows nothing to harm the tranquil King that stands in the land of Avalon. The individual is shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, transliners from parallel worlds, and multidimensional communication as far as the sixth dimension. It is on the level of true magic, an actual true magic in itself, that transcends all magecraft, and not even five current magics can overcome the barrier. Avalon can also be used as a "Master's Noble Phantasm" after Saber is summoned. It can be disassembled and sealed inside Saber's master or someone who will constantly be close to him, such as Irisviel von Einzbern, as a Conceptual Weapon to provide them with its regenerative abilities and also allow them to supply more prana to Saber. The contract between Saber and a Master isn't a requirement to use its abilities, but having one will provide the user the true benefit of immortality by allowing it to obtain prana from Saber and exert its effect in full according to the contract. This allows Kiritsugu to use Innate Time Control, which does enough damage to shatter bones and tear tendons with brief use, at double his normal level for extended periods of time. It only nullifies the damage he receives, so he is still burdened by the excessive pain of the injuries. Its abilities are less potent for those without the contract, allowing its regenerative abilities to be used only while Saber is close enough to provide prana to it. The closer in proximity, the more prana he will give to it, and he can directly supply it in order to further the regeneration. It will not function or have any of its properties if he is unable to provide it with prana by being near its wielder. Avalon can be removed from its user at any time to be passed on to another wielder.
- Invisible Air:
Invisible Air: Bounded Field of the Wind King (風王結界(インビジブル・エア), ?) is a sheath of wind that covers Excalibur and conceals it so that it cannot be easily recognized as the famous holy sword of King Arthur and expose his identity. It is a bounded field closer to magecraft than a Noble Phantasm that is made up of multiple layers of wind compressed into super-high pressure air with a massive amount of prana, which distorts the refraction of light and renders what is inside completely invisible. Upon Excalibur, it takes on the shape of the blade and renders it as an invisible sword that doesn't appear even as sparks fly off of it. It lacks the capacity to annihilate the enemy like Excalibur, being more suited as a "sharp tool" in battle. It isn't used for any particular strength, but it is easier to use in battle than Excalibur and it is a trump card that can bring about victory if used well. It is rather simple in execution, but it proves tremendously effective in hand-to-hand combat. The barrier isn't a vacuum, so the air constantly whirling around the blade is essentially a weapon. It increases the damage and cutting power of an attack, and the amount of prana released from each strike is high enough that it is visible to the eye. It also provides for an increased accuracy and defense against opponents unfamiliar with the nature of his weapon, as it is difficult for the opponents to parry lunges and thrusts from Saber. They cannot discern the length, width, reach, or trajectory of the blade, or even the fact that it is even a blade until they actually make contact with the weapon, which leaves them constantly on guard due to having to rely solely on Saber's movement to decipher his attacks. They are confused both offensively and defensively, only allowing them to approximate the movements of the strikes and keep outside of his range to avoid being easily struck down. Against an opponent who can figure out the nature of the weapon quickly and correct the visual disturbance, such as Assassin with his "Eye of the Mind (Fake)" ability, someone who already is familiar with the weapon, such as Berserker (Lancelot), or someone with a resistance to visual impediments, it becomes nothing more than wind around a sword.
Once the barrier is released so that Excalibur can be used, the previously compressed wind surges around him chaotically, creating a vacuum as it diffuses into the air with enough force to knock over normal people and shake heavy, firm trees like a typhoon. The compressed wind can also instead be released as a single use projectile weapon called Strike Air: Hammer of the Wind King (風王鉄槌(ストライク・エア), ?). Acting like a hammer made out of wind, it creates a gale made out of super high pressure condensed air that is powerful enough to easily crush and blow away armies and fling a stone slab weighing several tons into the air as if it were nothing. It is a long range attack with a constant amount of damage that in not influenced by Saber's physical condition or his level of prana. It can only be blocked by overwhelming it with a higher amount of prana. It can also be used to accelerate his own body towards his opponent, allowing him to travel at three times his normal speed. By holding the sword in a backward wide stance, he releases the air and changes into a supersonic bullet that charges towards his opponent. If working together with another person, the partner can use the vacuum left behind by the attack to immediately rush in behind it by using the surge of air taken in by the vacuum as a slipstream. After releasing it, he can recall it by compressing the surrounding air to reform the barrier
- Excalibur:
Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory (約束された勝利の剣(エクスカリバー), ?) is the strongest and most majestic holy sword that symbolizes King Arthur. It is his greatest and most powerful Noble Phantasm, which is a divine construction, the pinnacle of holy swords, forged by the planet as the crystallization of the wishes of mankind stored and tempered within the planet. It is the crystallization of the prayer named "glory" and everything etched in the hearts of those who are scattered at the sword's radiance; the nostalgic, sorrowful, and exalted dream of those who were placed on the bloody hell called a battlefield, of all warriors past, present, and future fully exposed to the fear of death and despair, and whom still cling to a desire: "to be exalted." It is one of the ultimate god-forged weapons, a Last Phantasm, which was guarded by extensions of the planet, Fairies, before briefly being passed on to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake and later returned to the lake before his death. It replaced the destroyed Caliburn, and its sheath, Avalon, provided partial immortality for its wielder. It is a typical western sword with a length of ninety centimeters and a width of twelve centimeters, and it has Fairy Letters inscribed on it to show that it was not the work of mankind. Excalibur is a weapon of directive energy that converts the prana of the wielder into light, intensifying the kinetic energy by convergence and acceleration, allowing for the use of Divine Spirit level thaumaturgy. It is an "ultimate killing technique" that releases light holding energy equaling Arthur's total amount of prana from the tip of the blade once the sword is swung. While the result is what looks like a large band of light, only the tip of the attack, which is a wave of light that can mow through the surface of the Earth, is capable of doing damage, as the band of light is the result of the "dislocation" of everything the attack destroys in its path. Its speed and power are among the greatest compared to other Noble Phantasms, and only Ea outmatches it on the point of pure power. Its prana consumption is extremely high, and it cannot be fired consecutively. It ranks as an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm due to its magnitude and destructive power. Its concentric area of impact is broad enough to incinerate an entire military cohort, turn the ground into scorched earth and leave a great disorder in land that would never fade, cut into the clouds, and completely destroy the large creature summoned by Caster that can regenerate instantly after receiving mountain shattering attacks. Both hands are needed to use the attack, so losing access to his hands means being unable to use the ability. It is unable to be used against opponents who fight at an extremely close range, such as Assassin, who could cut off his head with Tsubame Gaeshi the instant he began to gather the energy in his sword. History: Saber's true identity is King Arthur Pendragon, son of the British King Uther Pendragon and Igraine, a former Duchess of Cornwall. After a warning from Merlin about a plot to kill Uther, Arthur is entrusted by Merlin to a loyal knight, Sir Ector, who raises him as a surrogate son. When Arthur is fifteen, King Uther dies, and with no known eligible heir to the throne, Britain enters a period of turmoil following the growing threat of invasion by the Saxons. Merlin soon approaches him, explaining that the British people will recognize him as a destined ruler if he withdraws Caliburn, a ceremonial sword embedded in a large slab of stone. However, pulling this sword is symbolic of accepting the hardships of a monarch, and Arthur will be responsible for preserving the welfare of his people. Without hesitation, he draws Caliburn and shoulders Britain's mantle of leadership. Arthur rules Britain from his stronghold in Camelot, and earns the reputation of a just, yet distant king. Under the guidance of Merlin and with the aid of his Knights of the Round Table, he guides Britain into an era of prosperity and tranquillity. Caliburn is destroyed, but Arthur soon acquires his holy sword, Excalibur, and Avalon, Excalibur's blessed sheath, from Vivian. While Avalon is in his possession, Arthur never ages and is immortal in battle. Throughout his reign, Arthur's Excalibur's scabbard is stolen while he repels an assault along his country's borders; when Arthur returns inland, he discovers Britain is being torn asunder by civil unrest. Despite his valiant efforts to placate the dissent, Arthur is mortally wounded by a traitorous knight, a homunculus born from his sperm and blood named Mordred, during the Battle of Camlann. His dying body is escorted to a holy isle by Sir Bedivere. Arthur orders a grieving Bedivere to dispose of Excalibur by throwing it back to Vivian; in his absence, Arthur passes away silently. Arthur is limited to the class of Saber, unlike many heroes that can be summoned into different classes. | |
