Image

Strength: B

Endurance: A

Agility: A

Luck: D

Mana: C

NP: A+

Basic Information
Name: Scáthach

Class: Lancer

Height: 168cm

Weight: 55kg

Origin: Celtic Mythology, Ireland

Alignment: Neutral Good

Gender: Female

Additional Info

Likes: Courageous people, Brave warriors with potential.

Dislikes: People who lack courage

What do you wish for the Grail?: Death, for someone capable to finish her off for good. She wishes for someone she has once given her spear to to be able to kill her.

Personality: Scáthach possesses a light disposition, a queen and a teacher proven to be reliable, and for some reason or another, has the flavor of an elder sister that lives at the house next door. Proud and not serving anyone. A member of the ruling class from birth. Possessing the traits of a monarch, Scáthach holds the ideal of reigning as a queen that bestows happiness to the people as self-evident. Overflowing with talent, she herself understands more than anyone else that she is different from the mediocre. "Because I am superior, I will rule over the masses." "Ruling the masses is the duty of the ruling classes." That being the case, rather than granting her own desires (happiness), "to rule for the sake of the masses" or some such appears to be the natural thing to do, something of which can be said to be her thought on this matter. Although her mind has no intention on becoming a slave for the masses, she has absolutely no hesitation in refining herself for the sake of the people under her rule and their happiness.

Skills and Equipment

Runic magic: Scáthach has possession of and knowledge about the Primordial Runes that came from an older era. Those with possession and knowledge of Primordial Runes can also make use of the classic Rune Magic. She has Runes hailing from Scandinavia, almost known as Scandinavian Magic Crests. These runes are different from the Runes modern magi use. These are Primal Runes with the power of the Age of Gods.

Weapon: Soaring Spear of Piercing Death
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Gáe Bolg Alternative.
Although their shapes are similar, this is actually something different from the spear that Cu Chulainn possesses.
A specialized weapon one-step older, but of the same model as Gae Bolg that has been used since earlier.
There is not only one, but two of them.

“Stab and Penetrate...Thrust and Drill! Gae Bolg Alternative!”
Noble Phantasm: Gáe Bolg Alternative has two different variations of unleashing it’s true name

Gáe Bolg Alternative, Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death- Anti-Unit
An attack focused on a single target, created by Lancer to suit her own style, that strikes a fatal blow that always pierces the opponent's heart and ruins their body from within with its thousand iron thorns. It literally freezes the mana in the air, and it can easily be perceived as a sure-kill technique by all those around simply from being charged with magical energy. Once Gáe Bolg's name has been called, the cursed spear reverses the nature of causality, the meaning of "cause and effect" in the order of things, to make it so the cause of the "lance being thrust" comes from the effect of the "opponent's heart being pierced" by it. It determines the opponent's fate simply through its use, an always fatal move that pierces the heart with one thrust. It is also possible for her to activate it without actively striking the heart.

The only way to effectively defend against the attack is to have a high enough degree of luck or divine protection as to be able to alter fate, which would be heightened by also having good reflexive instincts, an auto-resurrection ability, a shield that overwhelms the magical energy of the lance, or, as a countermeasure of knowing it will strike the heart, by following a strategy of quickly backing out of the attack's range before it is initialized.

Gáe Bolg Alternative, Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death- Anti-army
the largest and most powerful attack delivered using the spear. It is the “attack that unleashes countless darts at the enemy” that is spoken of in legends. It it utilizes the full potential of the lance's curse, converting all of Lancer's magical energy into raw energy and releasing the accumulated power after the spear is hurled, detonating on impact with enough power to blow away a multitude of enemies.

Lancer prepares to use this ability by kicking Gáe Bolg Alternative into the air before turning her back to it and leaping into the air. Once fifty meters into the air, Lancer spinsin an upwards manner to kick her spear full force and spends it flying at the Chosen location. It distorts space to create a "tapestry of action" that splits into numerous spearheads that pours down over the enemy.

It does not carry the property or concept of “always pierces the opponent’s heart”, but both the power and the area of effect are increased. Rather than dispatching a single foe with absolute accuracy, its focus as a technique is to attack the enemies together with the surrounding area in a carpet bombing fashion to cause massive destruction. Due to being hurled with all of his energy, it cannot be dodged or blocked under normal circumstances. Even resilient bulwark or an agile body are not immune to its power, so Gáe Bolg will send the enemy horde flying.


Biography

Human Disguise Clothing.

History:
A warrior-queen from Celtic - Ulster mythology.
The queen and gatekeeper of the foreign territory - haunted realm called "Land of Shadows", a prodigy of spearmanship and Rune magic.
Possesses a power immense enough to rule and close the gate of the "Land of Shadows", which is overflowing with countless ghosts. It has been said that she became the mentor of Cu Chulainn - who would later grow into the hero of Ulster - guiding him, teaching all sorts of techniques and even bestowing his favorite magic spear. Also instructed his son, Connla.

Notes: Due to her nature, the Land of Shadows itself eventually became completely sundered from the mortal world, fully becoming a land of the dead. Still existing unto modern times and unable to become a Heroic Spirit on the Throne of Heroes, Scáthach had not ventured outside of the Land of Shadows for two thousand years. Unable to die, she could only wait until the time the World and its outside finally disappear.

Despite not being part of the Throne of Heroes she can still be summoned as a Servant. Of course death would allow her to pass on and truly become a heroric spirit.

As the demonic realm's, [The Shadow Realm's], gatekeeper, Scáthach's continual slaying of multitudes of Divine Spirits has become the God Slayer Skill. This Skill is super effective against Divine Spirits. A 'plus' modifer is gained when attacking Divine Spirits, wraiths, and Servants with the Divinity Skill.

So begins...

The Land Of Shadows
The Land Of Shadows, or what some may call the Realm of the Dead. Here resided one being who was known as the gatekeeper. A woman who kept the dead contained in this realm. There used to be a time long ago when people came to her, the people of the Ulster. She could remember the exact time it’s been since they visited down to the last second...

Here she could not die from age, and the Land Of Shadows was sundered from the mortal realm long ago. There was no reason to leave, these were the modern days. Many humans were not like warriors in the past. No reason to open these gats to visit. No warriors to challenge, faceor even teach. Simply waiting until the end of everything.

However, this day was very different. Instead of simply waiting around as usual her consciousness began to fade. It was a strange feeling...But she could hear a call...A call for the grail. She knew about this, something known as the Holy Grail War. An event that pits heroric Servants against eachother in duels to the death to obtain an object known as the Holy Grail That could grant the winner a wish. A wish...She only had one. To have a warriors death...Still, this is a chance of a lifetime. To finnaly Battle once again against warriors that had proven themselves worthy of the Throne of Heroes. This was an opportunity she would not pass up. As her consciousness faded, she may have had a small smile. She was anticipating the battles she could have.

Alternate Earth

Sunlight...The bright and shining light...It’s been far too long since she felt it upon her face. The birds chirping, and the fresh breeze of the wind. Scáthach, the gatekeeper of the Land Of Shadows woke up and slowly stood up. She had Gáe Bolg Alternative, so that means she was a Lancer class...However she already noted something very off. She was supposed to have a master, so where was her master?...

She was not sure what was going on, however if she did not have a master one thing was still for certain. If the Grail had called them, then there were other servants out there that must have just been summoned. This means that she still had the same duty even without a master, kill the other servants to obtain the grail. Of course there was a chance that one Servant may be capable of finishing her off. She would be happy enough with that.

Still...There was no point in staying in plain sight for the time being. Time to take in some sights, look for the other Servants and see if they are worth challenging. Whatever was going on, it was strange that was for sure. Her sights would be set on the top class Servants like the Saber. Perhaps even Berserker would also be a good challenge. So...Where to now? She should head to the nearest town.

With an objective in mind, Scáthach began to move out.

This world...Even she could tell something was off. Despite only being in this world for less than a few minutes, she knew everything that was needed to know. The culture, history, fashion senses even how to operate the technology that came with this new age.

Of course since she was walking into a town of this era, walking around dressed in a full body suit of Ulster make while holding a spear is not exactly going to be blending in to society. That being said, if a Berserker was to spot her in town, the people would be caught in a crossfire. As much as she would like to be spotted easily by other Servants, the problem would be with all the people that would be in danger. She was part of the ruling class in birth, and a monarch by nature. To endanger the lives of people would never sit well with her.

For the time being, with a little bit of magic. As all or most Servants knew, they could easily change their clothing to suite their needs to easily blend in with people. She was no exception, even though she was a Lancer class Servant she possessed the ability to use Runes when possible. So with that in mind, Lancer simply made her spear vanish for the time being until she needed it for combat once more. With that, her full body suit turned into something more ‘natural’ to the people of this era.

A pair of black pants, a red shirt with a black overcoat along with a pair of black heels. Now, she looked the same as any ordinary human. And this suited her taste as well, well...In a sense of course. These clothes were part of an ‘upper class’ in this society. So as such, this fit quite well.

All of this was done while she continued to walk, of course cautious about any unwanted attention. But with that over, Lancer entered the outskirts of the town after a short stroll. The sun was already covered by rain clouds, it seemed like it was going to rain very soon. Well, it was best to find shelter soon from the rain. But something still did not quite seem complete...

From what she gained...This town did not exist for very long...It was created more recently than most could belive. It must be the Holy Grail setting up a battlefield...But if that was the case why now? From her knowledge, the Grail never did something like this. Both Masters and Servants fought without something like this.

Perhaps she was overthinking this, but it was a good thought at least to know that this Holy Grail War could be different than what she has seen. With that last thought out of the way, Lancer slipped into a nearby cafe that was packed with people before taking a seat. No use walking around the rain without an umbrella. She did not mind it of course, but she had to look less suspicious while walking around the city.

[ Location ] New Tokyo - Cafe

While watching the rain outside Saber and Miss Maho continued to talk while sipping on coffee. Saber had asked her about New Tokyo but she didn't have much of any useful information to share about it. Apparently New Tokyo had existed for quite a while according to Miss Maho and nothing seemed out of the ordinary to her. Perhaps those who live in the human world didn't notice any changes or maybe to them New Tokyo was normal. Saber didn't know if he should be relieved or concerned about that fact.

After a while Miss Maho had to leave and return to work. Picking up her umbrella she headed towards the door and waved Saber goodbye. He didn't know if he would ever see the woman again but he thanked her for assisting him and answering his questions. She thought Saber was a foreigner because of how much he didn't know about the city, a fact that wasn't really wrong but certainly not exactly right.

Knowing that he needed to find out more concrete historic evidence of the existence of New Tokyo Saber wanted to find a library nearby but the helpful nurse had already left. Observing the crowd Saber noticed that a number of people were looking down at a piece of technology in their hands, a smartphone. While one of them wasn't looking Saber had swiped one of them from an unknowing victim as he began to search for the nearest library, believing that if he could find books about New Tokyo that had existed for some time he would be a step closer into understanding what happened to this world.

While scrolling through the smartphone he had stolen Saber noticed a woman enter the cafe. Call it instinct, or whatever you want to call it, but Saber felt that this woman wasn't like the other people around him. As she took a seat Saber rose from his and he walked towards her and sat down at her table. Taking the last sip from his coffee Saber placed his cup on the table before saying, "You're not from around here, right? Neither am I".

What an interesting situation she was in now, sitting by herself a young man soon sat at her table drinking some coffee. From his manner, either this was an attempt at a pick up line...Or in reality he knew she was a little off despite her appearance. She was not going to jump at conclusions, but for now she should be civil about this.

”Oh? A fellow stranger and foreigner can tell if another stranger is a foreigner? Or are you trying your best to start up a conversation hoping to flirt with a woman like me?” Scáthach replied with a chuckle. She was joking of course, poking a little fun.

Even Lancer could tell he was a little different from the people in this era. Of course, even if he was a servant Now was not a time to start any sort of fight. They were in a city, and of course he could just be another human. For now she would see how this went. ”So, have something on your mind?”
