A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.
[ CANON ] Avenger/Angra Mainyu || Fate/Hollow Ataraxia || reserved || 2/?
You are you, Angra Mainyu. You may forget this right away, but I will remember it to the end.
Strengths:
▶ PAIN TOLERANCE — With a backstory like his, it's no surprise that Avenger has a ridiculously high threshold for pain, no matter what's being done to him. When he gets injured or hurt, he'll yelp and whine but that's largely for show. Even major injuries can be endured or outright ignored if he doesn't feel like being a baby about it. Being in constant pain was a norm for his existence, so it doesn't slow him down greatly.
▶ LOYALTY — As horribly unbalanced and generally evil he is, Avenger is a loyal person who will refuse to turn on a Master he chooses to serve no matter what. His interpretation of personal loyalty is very different from the norm (he really doesn't see how killing you is being disloyal, honestly) but he means it when he gives his word. (How he means to keep his word is another thing altogether.)
▶ CUNNING — Avenger is noted to be cunning and can devise reasonably intelligent plans that will result in the desired outcome regardless of what happens to him or who finds out about it. (See: several of the events in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia.) He's bright enough, and offer some genuinely deep thoughts when prompted, but tends to not bother with thinking too deeply on many things.
▶ AGILITY — His coordination and speed are inhuman, given that he's still able to do a lot of the crazy parkour and anime-eque flashiness that tends to accompany the fighting style prevalent in the series with a reasonable degree of success even when he's the canonly weakest of all Servants that's ever been summoned in a Grail War.
Weaknesses:
▶ THIRD-RATE — He is the weakest of all Servants in pretty much every other parameter, and relies on his agility to hold his own. Avenger also is absolutely horrible at offensive attacking, and dies easily if taken unawares. His skills are third-rate as are his weapons, and his trump cards are practically useless if not used in coordination with Bazett's support, and even then can be negated.
▶ LAZINESS — Without the Grail, he's just an average person. He is no more intelligent than your normal villager, rude, crude, and is quite lazy and unmotivated. He has no personal goals nor any inclination to find one outside of granting the wishes' of other people. Given a chance, he'd take the easy way out of everything instead of working hard to reach his goals.
▶ INSANITY — As stated in the personality section, Avenger is a broken, insane fabrication of a person who was degraded in every possible way, had his dignity stripped from him, and had his humanity as well as his personhood taken from him, had been betrayed by everything he knew, and had his name expelled from Avesta, destroying all records of it. He wasn't treated as a human being, denied all agency and rights as himself and was forced into becoming a Heroic Spirit. From the moment he was summoned by the Einzbern family as their Servant, he had no way out or any way of escaping the situations he was placed in. He was brutally tortured and imprisoned in stone by his own village, he was imprisoned in the Grail by his death, and he was imprisoned in a hellish world by bearing his curses. His morals are screwed terribly and he is basically mankind's collective scapegoat. To make a vast understatement; this is incredibly unhealthy, and has done his mentality no favors.
▶ DEPENDANCE — His existence as a Servant is dependent upon the supply of mana from the Master he has formed a contract with. If the flow of mana is severed or the Master killed, he wouldn't be able to stay in the world for very long or take a physical form. Over time or if he uses his Noble Phantasm, the mana depletes.
▶ HATRED — Avenger hates all things. Hatred is the state he constantly exists in, so his spiteful hatred can be used against him like any other emotion and he falls prey to his anger easily. He's not exactly what you can call an emotional person, but he's violable and does react to what he feels. Along with a tendency to ignore the consequences that could result from doing something stupid or harmful, this can bite him in the ass. The Servant act overconfident and pay the price, as witnessed in his combat against Saber.
▶ BLOODLUST — His twisted idea of amusement is pointless murder whenever he allowed to do it and get away with it, and he regards it as his 'job.' Needless to say, this generates conflict with others.
Abilities:
▶ NOBLE PHANTASM — Possesses the ability to use his Noble Phantasm—Verg Avesta (False Copy of the Inscribed Natural Word)—to inscribe his wounds upon the target and reflect back all pain of their attack back upon the attacker. However this is a rather useless skill since he has to take the attack in the first place, and needs to be alive and conscious for it to work. And until Avenger is healed, the opponent's pain will never disappear. And the book itself is a copy of the Book of Zoroaster, Avesta is a support-type book Noble Phantasm that records events accurately and correctly out of its own volition. Avenger's narration describes it as more or less being on the level of an automatic typewriter that is useless in a fight due to it being unable to harm anyone, while its only advantage is that it is able to put indescribable emotions one isn't aware of into words.
▶ SERVANT — His status as an Heroic Spirit. Possesses the ability to shift into spirit form, the ability to form a pact with a human, and all the usual Servant benefits.
▶ COMBAT — Possesses high defensive combat skills (by defensive combat, this means he can hold back as many opponents as he wants in a stalemate without neither side gaining the upper hand for a long, long time) his style being basically while he can't win a fight, he can't lose either if he plays it defensively.
▶ HOLY GRAIL — Not sure if this counts as a power or not, but he is great keeping people alive when they're on the verge of death. SO HE CAN FULFILL WISHES AND ALL THAT, if the wish made is within his power to make reality. (This cannot happen in-game due to the fact that his connection with the Grail is severed by the transport out of his dimension.) He's basically the will of the Holy Grail and the unwilling source of its taint when his village's wish for him to be the incarnation of all evil was granted by his absorption into the Grail. He was also granted the power to use the Third Sorcery after becoming Angra Mainyu.
▶ ASSIMILATION — Avenger can copy the personalities and appearances of others as exterior "shells", like he has done with Shirou and Irisevel. (Assuming they have had some kind of contact with the Grail beforehand.)
▶ ANGRA MAINYU — His identity as Angra Mainyu; All the World's Evil. It is a curse placed upon him by his village that forces one to be the representation of all evil and changes their alignment toward killing people and hating everything relentlessly. Angra Mainyu is the living embodiment of humanity's sins and selfish desires and wrongdoings, and Avenger is supposed to be the antithesis of everything that is good and just.
▶ WEAPONRY — Possesses a set of twin fang-like daggers named Tawrich and Zarich, capable of using them to lock his opponent's weapons or in melee, but they're unreliable (they can break) and terribly designed weapons in general. His skill with using them to fight is average.
