"Whenever you cross swords with an enemy you must not think of cutting him either weakly or strongly; just think of cutting and kill him.Appearance:
True Name: Miyamoto Musashi
Class: Saber
Age: early to mid thirties
Gender: Male
Master: Charles Donavon
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance
Riding
Personal Skills:
Eternal Arms Mastership: Mastership of combat arts has reached the point of being said to be unrivaled in one's era. By complete merging of mind, body and technique, it is possible to make use of full fighting skills even when under the influence of any sort of mental hindrance
Vitrification: It is a serene state of mind. A mental protection that nullifies mental interference. By limiting his fighting spirit as a martial artist, one can conceal his presence.
Eye of Mind (False): is a natural talent to avoid danger on the basis of an innate 6th sense, intuition, or prescience, where accuracy of instinct has been augmented by experience -- somewhat overcoming the problem of visual obstructions that appear in the course of combat.
Military Tactics: is tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
Expert of many Specializations: Saber was said to have been a major influence on society. He invented the two sword style Niten'Ichi and well versed in strategy, philosophy, tea ceremonies, painting, calligraphy, gardening, architecture, and sculpting. He also wrote many works, his most famous are Dokkodo and Hyoho Shiji ni Kajo.
Protection from Arrows: is an increased defense against ranged attacks by predicting the projectiles' trajectories through exceptional means, such as hearing the sound of air being cut, or sensing the killing intent of the enemy. As long as the shooter is within his line of sight, he can track down ranged weapons with his eyes and defend against them. Does not apply for attacks made from super-long-range or with a great area-of-effect.
Guardian Knight: Temporarily raises defensive power when protecting others. Due to him being a retainer of different lords in the past and even now with his current master, this ability is always active.
Sword Saint: For any servant that wields a sword they gain a combat power boost that is equal to a madness enchantment. In Saber's case, due to him being known as a Sword Saint in Japan and his legend described him to never had lost his known 60 duels this ability is at its peak though can only be accessed when Saber he unsheathes Niten'ichi.
Noble Phantasm:
Niten'ichi (Two Heavens as One)
Type: Anti-Unit
Description: Niten'ichi isn't a weapon that Saber owned in his life time nor did it exist. It is the manifestation of the sword style that he so proudly invented. It takes the form of two blades, a katana and the other a wakizashi (short sword). Due to his distaste for fancy weapons the weapons have white cloth wrapped around the handles, rounded guards, and wooden scabbards. While they don't look like much, the two blades increase his physical capabilities exponentially, making up for the lack of powerful range attacks.
However this Phantasm has another skill.
If the sword itself isn't unsheathed then he can gain the ability of turning anything into his phantasm as long they are both separate objects and can be held in each hand. The cost of this however is that he doesn't gain any physical boosts from those objects, but does gain the ability of becoming an instant master of whatever weapons he is using ranging from things like a rod of metal to modern weapons such as firearm. The weapon gains immense durability to clash with other Phantasms and to harm servants.
Godai (Great Five)
Type: ???
Description: Earth, water, fire, wind, and void. These are the five foundations of the world's existence in Japanese Buddhism, a belief that Saber followed for a majority of his life and based it around his teachings in The Book of Five Rings. Earth represents all solid substances and is the building blocks of everything, water represents all things that flow formlessly and binds the world together, fire represents destruction, wind represents the growth of all things and the freedom of movement, and void represents things beyond everyday experiences, particularly things composed of pure energy.
Godai is an unusual Phantasm due to it not being a physical object. It is much more similar to a reality marble than anything else. To use his abilities at full power, Saber must trap his opponents and him in his Godai, which takes form as a zen garden dead center in a Buddhist temple. However the powers can still be projected into the real world but they lose a great deal of power, leaving the powers less powerful. It is a phantasm that he rather not use however due to the amount of mana it can consume.
Earth: His entire body is hardened by mana in order to increase his defense. His skin becomes gray like a stone. It is capable of blocking many attacks, strong ones too, but it is far from invincible. For starters, it will break if it is hit by an attack powerful enough to break through and the longer he maintains it the more mana he will deplete. Attacks that focus on pure piercing power can easily bypass this defense.
Water: Like water, he too shall become formless. Saber enhances his reflexes with mana to the point that his body moving is almost like watching water move. The downside of this however is that it can be only used to dodge and can't attack when he is using Water.
Fire: This is the power that he hates using the most. It's a skill that happens on its own when he reaches a state of pure, uncontrollable rage. Fire acts similarly to Madness Enchantment in that increases his physical capabilities while taking away his reason though it has a special power; his attacks all have a fire attribute, burning his targets with his rage fueled attacks. The angrier he gets the more powerful he will become though at a cost. This will drain mana the longer he is in this state and the his own anger will damage his body, killing him if it goes for too long. It can also be accessed and cancelled via command seal.
Wind: Like the wind, he too shall be free. Wind allows him to love around at high speeds and cover large distances, making it perfect to close distances and gain distance. This can however only be used in bursts and Saber can only move in straight lines, making his patter predictable if he uses it too frequently.
Void: This is perhaps his most powerful ability out of his phantasms. The void allows him manipulate and gather aether for this last gambit attack. It empties his mana reserves as well as his master's. If this attack were to fail then death is what awaits him. Using the aether to power his attack to the max, he sends a massive arc of aether at his target, obliterating whatever is in his way. Saber dislikes this attack due to it being too flashy for his tastes.
Name: Sekigahara
Type: Anti-City
Description: A technique that can be used only once. Saber is able to summon all 17,000 troops of Commander Ukita Hidie's faction of the western army that Saber was apart of during the Battle of Sekigahara. They would charge at his opponents and fight for him though he himself has to sustain them with mana or else they will disappear. This will leave him ultimately weakened for the time being though it can be used in conjunction with his tactical skills and overwhelm those of few numbers.
Personality: Musashi is a calm and clever fellow. He uses psychology as a weapon to defeat his opponents, knowing that swinging a blade is sometimes just isn't enough and will use strategies to defeat his opponents as long they are not underhanded. That being said he is extremely honorable and will not resort to using methods that are below him unless his own master forces him with a command seal. As a servant he is loyal to his master as it is the way of the samurai. His interest to see how much the world has changed is immense as he wonders how mankind has evolved from the era that he lived in.
He is extremely artistic, his works of art are considered to be master pieces by many and he is a very good gardener, which is shown when he designed gardens and parks in his later years. He is also kind, often helping others when there is no reward for himself and shares his vast wisdom.
Killing is something that dislikes due to killing so many people in his life time, but as a servant he is forced to do so. However, when he is forced to kill someone then he becomes the monster Sword Saint that he was in his life time, such as when he exterminated an entire clan that was after his head.
Short Biography: Musashi Miyamoto is perhaps the most widely reknown samurai warrior from Japan. Known as the "Sword Saint," his skills at sword fighting were unmatched during his time and are legendary even today. It is said that he fought over 60 duels and was undefeated. He was also involved in one of the most famous battles in Japanese history at Sekigahara, where over 70,000 people died. Musashi fought on the losing side and survived.
From an early age, Musashi was inclined towards sword fighting and won his first duel when he was only 13. When he got older, Musashi set off on a pilgrimage to refine his martial art and sword capabilities. Along the way, he faced death on many occasions and won all his duels. His most famous duel was against a samurai named Sasaki Kojiro, who was a very skilled with an extra long sword. Legend has it that Musashi fashioned a wooden sword out of an oar from a boat to defeat Kojiro, striking him directly in the head with the wooden weapon.
Having mastered the Japanese samurai sword, Musashi was able to extend his insight into strategy beyond martial arts. He became a master of writing, painting and a range of activities. One of his most noted accomplishments is his book, The Book of Five Rings, which is a record of his teachings on the Way of Strategy.
