CHARACTER Name: Avenger Canon: Fate/Hollow Ataraxia Age: In this case, he physically looks to be around 16 years old. Timeline: Post-end of the visual novel. If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this? N/A
Personality: Many years ago, there was once a simple boy who was born to a poor family consisting of his mother, his father and his younger sister. They were not wealthy but they were happy, having enough food to not starve and a warm place to sleep. He worked hard in the forest and mountains with his father from the crack of dawn to the beginning of the evening, to support them by bringing home the fruits of their labors, and he was someone who never minded lending a hand to others, admired by both his friends and family. True, life in the village was static, unchanging and too boring for this boy's tastes but he was certain even that feeling of dissatisfaction with following in his father's footsteps, and his grandfather's footsteps, would fade away given enough time. Content to live out the tedious days of his life peacefully and uneventfully until his death, how on earth could anybody have been prepared for what came next?
Ripped brutally away from his home, and forced to undergo a practically endless cycle of being cursed, beaten, tortured, and branded as the container of all the evil in the world and being punished for it day after day after day, without relief; the result of this horror was understandable. The poor boy lost his mind, and his dignity, and his sanity in one fall swoop. He progressed through the stages of utter shock to anger and then to fervent hatred, madly cursing the humans, cursing the world, and cursing himself as well. But eventually he resigned himself to his role and rotted away at the peak of a mountain like he was supposed to.
This evokes the Humans Are Bastards trope hard.
So when he was given a second existence as a Servant in the Holy Grail War, it's natural that Avenger was the antithesis of all the good in humanity entombed in flesh. He's quite lazy, perverted in regards to the ladies and laid back, preferring to take things easy and not bother with hard work, and has no sense of justice to speak of. Avenger is cunning, yes and he has no trouble adapting his plans on the fly but don't expect him to usually bother with long term schemes or complex agendas. He runs with what he's got and that's about it.
He'll shamelessly omit information if it's not asked for and needlessly drag out a situation on a desire for the novelty of it should it strike his fancy. If given the choice, he'll always select the easiest way, or even try to worm his way out of the situation altogether and he honestly doesn't care if other people see him in a poor light due to that. Avenger couldn't care less about what anybody else thinks of him. Having led a poor excuse for a life filled to the brim with physical and emotional torment, fear, despair, and betrayal by everybody he loved as a boy, and solitude has left deep, bitter scars that no amount of time or killing the humans he hates could heal in their entirety. His manner of speech is rough and uncultured, causing him to come off as rather rude and uncomfortable to speak with, and his manners are all but nonexistent.
Avenger prefers to behave selfishly. Outwardly, he's immature and whiny. If he's unhappy with the situation, it's guaranteed he'll let the people around him know via complaints or declarations of annoyance. There's an obvious casualness and disregard for social norms to him, considering he leaves his chest bare and never wears anything to cover himself up with but his tattered, red mantle and headband.
He is cynical, relentlessly mocking towards others, and bitingly sarcastic. He's also one of those people who is so... completely broken down with misery, hatred, pain and all the generally super terrible things that happened to him that he came out the other side of brokenness with mildly high levels of functionality, and a disinterest in bothering to distinguish between good and evil. His moral compass is seriously awry to put it lightly. He holds the belief that people should be true to themselves and do what they believe is right, regardless of how morally acceptable it is. Avenger wholeheartedly accepts everyone, no matter how horrible, just as they are and acknowledges carrying the burden of the wicked desires of humans as fine. He loves the world for it is worth hating to him, and tolerates and forgives humanity for their repulsiveness, divorced from his hatred of them, and this forgiveness validates their cruelty. Evil unwilling jesus died for our sins.
And while he is pretty much the weakest servant ever summoned by the grail, he's still pretty abrasive, bloodthisty and homicidal despite being utterly weak. He kills indiscriminately and pointlessly, when given the chance to, and Avenger really enjoys doing it as evidenced by the torn up corpses he leaves behind after the fact. In a fight, he attacks like a wild beast, giving it his all to make a fast, cruel kill. This is a twist of irony, considering that in the light of day Avenger is capable of assuming the shape and identity of Shirou Emiya resident protagonist of a very sexist eroge game, living out life with Shirou's friends and quietly enjoying it, the boy who is his absolute opposite in every way, being selfless, thoughtful, and hard-working. Or perhaps it's better to say that Shirou is a great deal like Avenger was before his village turned on him and senselessly ruined his life, and that's maybe why he pulls a Grand Theft Me on him.
So it's not so much that Avenger is actually a irredeemably fucking awful person at heart, as it is his prior sense of self as a kind, good-natured person who loved the world is thoroughly forgotten, hammered down, and destroyed by becoming what those who cursed him as a demon childishly wanted him to be; the source and embodiment of what evil truly lies deep in the darkness of humanity's heart. Serving as the basis for mankind's idea of evil leaves no room for warm emotions or even a flimsy sense of self-identity. That's the role he had accepted for himself. It's the role humanity's selfish desires forced him to be, yet he's demonstrated that he can be caring and concerned for people and their emotional well-being under certain conditions and be selfless and aspire to be a "hero of justice" in a certain sense of the word, although that could actually simply be a flaw caused by a certain protagonist's emotions. He too has the desire to "save others" though his definition of salvation is a tad different from that of a human's definition.
When he lived, he was a helpless sacrifice, forcibly made into the representation of what they childishly yearned for him to be, and yet it was by being loathed by everyone and by losing his very sense of self to absolve his village of any guilt in committing sins, a hero was born from the ravaged shell of Angra Mainyu.
