Which version a summoner gets may vary according to different factors.

Character: Saber: The righteous and virtuous will get the original form of the spirit. Skilled fencing techniques and high resistance to magic make Saber an ideal bodyguard. She is very durable and can perform many defensive tasks with competence.

Character: Death's Hand: Those who desire ultimate power will get a twisted form of the spirit. Dubious swordsmanship and distorted magical defenses make Death's Hand a rather weak fighter and a vulnerable target in battle. However, her power release is more destructive by an untold margin.

Physical Description; Saber: Appears as a moderately tall and slender teenager with blonde hair and clear blue eyes. She often wears a calm expression and gives off an aura of serenity and composure.

Physical Description; Death's Hand: Appears as a moderately tall and slender teenager with very pale complexion and unnaturally glowing yellow eyes. Nearly white hair. Her face is engraved with a permanent scowl, and the air around her seems thick with murderous intent.

Clothing: Composite plate mail is worn over a long robe or dress.

Personality; Saber: Calm and devoted, she always puts her master's safety above everything and will use any means necessary to protect them, even if it goes against orders. Saber will not look down on lesser mages if they manage to summon her. She respects honor, chivalry and benevolence; as those define true virtue. She also values unwavering loyalty and fanatical devotion to a cause.

Personality; Death's Hand: Very stoic and incompassionate, she takes lives without hesitation and will carry out a powerful master's orders to the letter, but will not obey weaker mages. She respects ambition, bloodthirst and greed; as those define true power. Like her counterpart, she also values unwavering loyalty and fanatical devotion to a cause.

History: At a long-forgotten point in time, towards when no historical scriptures point, Biso was a vassal state of a major overseas empire, named Avalon. The empire was build around a very solid religious belief, and it was piety that held the grand kingdom together. The royal line was revered and believed to be directly appointed by the Maker, an almighty deity. It was said that the Maker created the world and its inhabitants, and will one day undo them if they forget their true origins and forget showing respect to their creator. That's why people of Avalon, both rich and poor, weak and strong, noble and wretched – nobody was unhappy with their lives, because no matter difficult it is, it's a challenge they have to overcome in order to enter the "Maker's Garden", a paradise where you would go after death if you were virtuous in life. Such a vison created harmony between people, and Avalon was flourishing and prospering in peace.

Everything was fine and well, until some "wise" royal advisors convinced the king that it would be a terible cruelty to only let the people of Avalon enter the Maker's Garden. Other nations also had that right, they just didn't realise it. Delegates were sent to all neighboring nations, including Biso, which was at that time a backwards and underdeveloped continentof little political interest to other nations. The delegates brought back grave news: none of the neighbors accepted the Maker as the only rightful deity. That marked the start of a conflict known as the Oblivious Crusade. Avalon, with it's superior army consisting of armored knights and elemental wizards, quickly annexed the adjacent nations and declared itself an empire. King Elan Agamand of Avalon proclaimed that the annexed nations would now revere the Maker and join him and his people in their journey to the Garden.

Only one person in the entire empire spoke against the king. His only child, princess Jeanne Agamand, voiced that this is not the will of the Maker, as he always presents a choise. One even has the right to choose whether to believe in Him or not. Oppressing that freedom of choise is to abandon the chivalrous way that leads to the Garden. Jeanne rallied the subjugated peoples, Bisonians included, and pushed back king Elanr's forces with conviction. She didn't stop there, taking her shoddy but numerous army into Avalon's lands, clashing in the final encounter with the king and his remaining army. The two met on the battlefield and engaged in a duel. That day, Jeanne Agamand was slain by her own father.

Her army didn't disperse, however. Enraged by the death of their inspirer and champion, they crushed the king's remaining knights and surrounded the capitol castle of Avalon. It looked like the short-lived empire was lost. But there was one last thing to do. The Council of Seven, consisting of the most powerful wizards of all Avalon and known world, came together to make one last attempt at retaliation. The art of necromancy was known and common at that time, and many mages could animate the dead to assist them in various tasks. But reviving someone, as in bringing back the soul to the body, was unthinkable. In spite of this, the Council has been searching for a method all their lives, and finally have found a way. They went down to the royal mausoleum and descended into the crypt. Each of them inscribed a scroll with their own blood, and placed each of the scrolls around Jeanne's gravestone in a circle. King Elan then came forward and thrust his sword into the gravestone. As soon as the blade was stuck in the stone, a searing light shone in the sky above the capitol castle of Avalon. In a second, both the city and the besieging army were engulfed in the light. The second after that, the light went out, and everything turned black.

The wind wailed on the empty streets, and crows made nests on the abandoned trebuchets outside of the walls. There was nobody left. The light consumed the entire city's populace and the army besieging it. The people vanished, vaporised. But the resurrection was successful. Standing beside her own grave in the mausoleum hall, and holding her father's sword, Heroic Spirit Saber was born, the one who bears the burden of one million souls... by the will of the Maker.

technique without thinking.

Fighting Style:

Updated

Can history come later? I exhausted what little creativity I had already

Now then, lets start with stats. You can't have any stats 0 expect magic when creating the character.
Basically if you have 1 accuracy then you would basically be blind and not notice anything around you. If you have 0 speed you run same fast as other people walk.

Now then techniques, Saber is missing "Technique" section. Everyone stats with maximum of 2 technique points.
Your Death Hand's is too OP. Tone down the range, also D rank's technique cannot take down small house, maybe C ranks, so you have to edit that a little aswell.

If history done in 2 days after approval I reopen it, otherwise PM it to me if I have locked it.


Just a little note, one person already has that theme song but it isn't against the rules for multiple persons to have one.

Fixed stats and tweaked Death's Hand skill descr.

Same theme song? Sweet, I'm a mind reader xD

Every point you want to put to Magic Stats it consumes 2 points not 1.
So if you put 10 points in magic your stat will be 5. If you want it 10 then you need 20 points.

Fixed. Why the complexity?

Your Rank D Saber stats only come 39, you can go up to 45.
Rank D stats come up to 44, one more if you want.

Dark Saber's Technique range down.

Also it is so that normal characters wouldn't gain enormous magic power so quickly and so sword fighters have higher chances of winning against mage... As you may know magic is stronger than sword fighting...

Quote :

Dark Saber's Technique range down.

Minimum range is 10, and that's what most people will be able to pull off with the current mana pools. Besides, that's the only tehnique she has.

Their magic stats only deternime the power of Excalibur for both spirits, and they can only be used once per mission. Toning them down too much will make me weak and boring.

1000m will only be with high S-Ranked mage then!
