Rider (Alexander) | Fate/Zero | Reserved
Nickname: Fil
Age:25
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact: AIM= TheGreatFunkachu
Characters Played:Eridan and Advent Cirno
Character Info:
Name:Rider
Age:30-ish
Canon:Fate/Zero
Pull Point:Post-gilgamesh battle.
Background Info:
History: wiki link
Personality:Rider's identity is none other than Alexander the Great, the man who practically conquered the entire known world at his time of living. His main goal in his conquest was to set foot on the edge of the world. He desired this over all else, and instilled the same sense of adventure he had to his comrades. Though, he was known as a tyrant, he did not believe in stepping on his own people to achieve his goals. He prefers conquest without death, defeat without humiliation. He offered the lands he conquered to join him in his conquest, to live and prosper under his vast kingdom. Yes, he was greedy, but he was able to convey his ambition to his people in his own fiery spirit, and they ultimately prospered because of it. However, those that stood in his armies way, who refused his generous offer and spat in his face, were taken down with ease.
Rider oozes confidence. He's not afraid of making bold moves in combat that would reveal weaknesses. He epitomizes the phrase "Come at me, bro". He believes he is the best, and all challengers are welcome to test that in honorable combat, no matter the medium. Whether it is clashing swords or downing alcohol, there is no challenge too great for him. He often encourages those who he deems worthy opponents to join his quest for glory, and to prosper with him in his goals of conquest. Which he will achieve, because he is the goddamn King of Conquerors. He is a fierce opponent, and while he believes in winning without murder, he will fight till his very last breath, and take risky moves because it's better than taking no move at all. If there's something he wants, he will take it. End of story.
Outside of the battlefield, Rider is what people would consider to be a "total bro." He's easy-going, never hesitating to crack a joke even when the situation looks grim. He wants to live his life to the fullest and achieve his dreams, and that includes enjoying life and everyone in it. He will not hesitate to share a drink with friend or foe alike. He at one point invites several other servants to share a drink with him and talk over a few bottles of wine. Rider spends most of his time materialized in the modern world indulging in its pleasures, much to the chagrin of his Master. He enjoys anything military related, and takes a great joy in learning all he can about the modern world. It'd be good to know, considering his plans for world conquest are far more important than the Holy Grail War.
His goals are lofty, and there's a reason for that. The bigger the goal, the more insignificant he feels compared to it, the greater his desire is to conquer that goal. He loves to challenge himself, he loves to push himself to be more of a man than any other man. No dream is too big or too impossible to achieve. He loves inspiring others to live the same, regardless of what they say in the matter. While he won't mock someone for their goals, he is not afraid to tell it like it is and say that they're too small or too terrible. He wants others to live as he is, because he only wants the best for his people. To him, his empire, people included, is the greatest treasure in the world.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Strength, changed my mind post-reserve.
Justification:
Rider's passion about conquest is what makes this choice stand out above the others. He truly believed he would reach the end of the earth, and that optimism is what kept him going. However, his greed and desires have often caused him to be labeled in the history books as a tyrant. He also had an extreme love for alcohol, an almost impulsive need to drink.
Samples:
First Person Sample:
[The video feed clicks on to Rider, relaxing in a lounge chair, bottle of beer in hand.]
So, I hear a bunch of us have these "Persona" thingies...What are they used for, anyways? If we're to meet on the battlefield, I say we have an all out brawl with them! Few things are as thrilling as an all-out brawl, wouldn't you agree? Free-for-all. Us, shadows, All are invited to the King's Grand Melee!
Third Person Sample:
If there was one thing Rider enjoyed about being in Prospero, is that it was so much different than Fuyuki. Visiting whatever bars and stores he could, completely immersing himself in the culture around him. However, when the Dark Hour came, this place felt no different than Fuyuki. The city became a battleground... The only difference between them was what they were up against and why. This however, did not bother Rider one bit. As he felt the Shadows surround him, he simply cracked his knuckles. This was the type of fight he loved. The more that began to surround him, the more alive he felt. The expression on his face could easily be expressed in four words: "Come at me, bro." As Rider threw the first punch at the Shadows, he could feel the Persona rising up from within him, aiding him in battle. It felt like he was on the battlefield with an old friend once again.
