Fate/Profane Covenant

Avenger

Class: Avenger

True Name: Tecumseh

Appearance:


Sex: F

Alignment: True Neutral

Attribute: Man

History:
Tecumseh was born in Shawnee territory in what is now Ohio between 1764 and 1771, supposedly named after a shooting star that passed across the sky at the time of their birth.

Tecumseh's father, Puckeshinwau, was a Shawnee war chief of the Kispoko division, who already had 4 children before Tecumseh. One of these children was a disowned drunkard name Lalawéthika.

When the American Revolutionary War between the British and their American colonies began in 1775, many Shawnees allied themselves with the British, raiding into Kentucky in an effort to drive out American settlers. General George Rogers Clark, commander of the Kentucky militia, led a major expedition into Shawnee territory in 1780. After the Shawnees retreated, Clark burned their villages and crops. The Shawnees relocated to the northwest, only for Clark to follow after and then to go on and burn and destroy these villages as well. Tecumseh, only a young child a the time, witnessed both of these raids and razings of the Shawnee's villages. Within the young child, the flames of a burning hatred for the Americans would be lit.

Tecumseh, now about eighteen years old, became a warrior under the tutelage of her older brother Cheeseekau, who emerged as a noted war chief. Ohio had become contested territory, as the Americans now laid claim to the land by right of conquest. Tecumseh would take part in the Northwest Indian War as a minor leader under the command of her brother Cheeseekau. Tecumseh was with Cheeseekau when he was killed in an unsuccessful attack on Buchanan's Station near Nashville in 1792. Disturbed by the death of her brother, Tecumseh made a lifelong vow of vengeance against the Americans.

While Tecumseh lived along the White River, Indians in the region were troubled by sickness, alcoholism, poverty, the loss of land, depopulation, and the decline of their traditional way of life. Several religious prophets emerged, among these was Tecumseh's younger brother Lalawéthika, who had been regarded as a misfit with little promise. In 1805, he began preaching, urging listeners to reject European influences, stop drinking alcohol, and discard their traditional medicine bags. Tecumseh followed her brother's teachings by eating only Native food, wearing traditional Shawnee clothing, and not drinking alcohol.

Tecumseh and Lalawéthika, now known as The Prophet, established a new town near the ruins of Fort Greenville. The Prophet's message spread widely, attracting visitors and converts from multiple tribes, while American settlers grew uneasy as Indians flocked to Greenville. Seeking to avoid war, Tecumseh and the Prophet established a village Americans would call Prophetstown, north of present-day Lafayette, Indiana. At Prophetstown, Tecumseh and The Prophet initially worked to maintain a peaceful coexistence with the United States. A major turning point came in September 1809, when William Henry Harrison, governor of the Indiana Territory, negotiated the Treaty of Fort Wayne, purchasing 2.5 to 3 million acres (10,000 to 12,000 km2) of land in what is present-day Indiana and Illinois. Although many Indian leaders signed the treaty, others who used the land were deliberately excluded from the negotiations. In August 1810, Tecumseh met with William Henry Harrison at Vincennes, capital of the Indiana Territory, a standoff that became legendary. Tecumseh demanded that Harrison rescind the Fort Wayne cession, and said he would oppose American settlement on the disputed lands. He said the chiefs who had signed the treaty would be punished, and that he was uniting the tribes to prevent further cessions. As the meeting concluded, Tecumseh said that if Madison did not rescind the Fort Wayne treaty, "you and I will have to fight it out."

Tecumseh again met Harrison at Vincennes. He told the governor he had amassed a confederacy of northern tribes and was heading south to do the same. For the next six months, Tecumseh traveled some 3,000 miles (4,800 km) in the south and west to recruit allies. In September 1811, taking advantage of Tecumseh's extended absence, Harrison marched toward Prophetstown with about 1,000 men, initiating the Battle of Tippecanoe. Harrison's men held their ground, after which the Prophet's warriors withdrew and evacuated Prophetstown. The Americans burned the village the following day and returned to Vincennes.

Tecumseh, enraged at what had transpired, sought to finally break the Americans. When the Americans and British went to war in 1812, Tecumseh sided with the British and lead attacks and raids on American armies, towns and forts. Destroying the supply lines of the American Army, Tecumseh's forces stopped the American effort to invade British Canada. Tecumseh then led about 530 warriors in the Siege of Detroit, forcing the commander William Hull into surrender. Tecumseh hoped further offensives were forthcoming, but after the American naval victory in the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, the British began to withdraw from the United States Territory. In the retreat, many of Tecumseh's despairing allies deserted, leaving her only 500 warriors. Tecumseh, outnumbered more than three-to-one, faced the Americans at the Battle of the Thames. Tecumseh was killed in the fierce fighting, and the Indians dispersed. After the battle, American soldiers stripped and scalped Tecumseh's body. The next day, when Tecumseh's body had been positively identified, others peeled off some skin as souvenirs.

Personality: Tecumseh had lived her life as a noble, and honorable leader who tried to do everything in her power to defend her people from the onslaught of American forces. Throughout her life, she had carried a flame of hatred for the Americans for her countless losses caused by their hands. In her death, abandoned by her allies, killed, stripped, and scalped, with soldiers even cutting away chunks of her skin as souvenirs, that hatred grew from a fire into a blaze, consuming every bit of her final thoughts, and twisting her spirit into the corrupted avenger that now exists. The commander who once abhorred the thought of torture now no longer holds onto her old convictions, but operates only by her burning hatred of the people who wronged her and everything she loved.

Gua Gefa
^{Herald of the 5 Vows}

Destructive magic and sword combat | 27 Years | Male Yin

Gua Gefa was a ritual priest of the city of Kuoi in the Kingdom of Agake. A selfish and arrogant individual with no concern for life or the wellbeing of anyone other than himself, he was cast in the abyss at the end of a long journey.

Abyssal Version

Appearance: Words or picture. Anime or drawn is okay, try to avoid real pics.

Summary: Gua Gefa was a priest born in the city of Kuoi in the Kingdom of Agake. Born into a priest family, he was the second some of the then High Priest, Ge, of the Temple of Kuoi, and the heir apparent for the temple priesthood after his elder brother was killed after military conscription. Gua served as a ritual clown priest directly under the temple's oracle, Hyilin, and was chosen to accompany her on her journey eastward to recover lost artifacts in the land of Suigda, with the hopes that his participation in the pilgrimage would change his selfish and corrupt personality and better refine him into a proper priest.

Legacy: As a ritual priest, Gua was trained and skilled in powerful magic, which he put to good use on his journey with Hyilin. He did, however, prove to be a difficult partner for Hyilin to deal with. Initially, she found him to be a liability and resounded to abandon him in an oasis town after he had gotten the duo in trouble by robbing and getting into fights with workmen in a previous town. Hyilin escaped by means of a horse in the night, leaving Gua in a salt mining town in the desert. Gua, realizing he was freed from his burden, Gua set to using his knowledge of magic to manipulate the townsfolk into treating him like a king, establishing the town as his personal temple and living a hedonistic life in the desert town for 3 months, before he was commanded by the voice of a goddess to find Hyilin and complete the task under punishment of death by plague. In his refusal to rejoin, the town was wiped out by plague, and Gua was afflicted, being disfigured by the pox with pale white skin and the slow loss of his ability to feel any sensation in his skin, and being told that only his help in getting Hyilin to the Prophet's Temple would cure him of his imminent death.

With his hand forced, Gua reunited with Hyilin and her new companion, the raider turned runaway slave, Isutzo, whom he immediately grew deeply envious of for the great respect he commanded of others, and continued on with their journey. All the while, he proved to be his same former self, greedy, manipulative, with no concern for the wellbeing of others, easily committing atrocious acts or encouraging others to do so, manipulating common people for his own uses and easily killing or otherwise damaging the lives of those who were not useful to him or got in his way, and abusing his position as a priest for his own benefits.

Upon reaching the great temple, while the other members of the party were given high status, Hyilin and Isutzo as divine protectors, and their companion Hucho as the eternal guardian of the temple, Gua was determined to be too corrupt in his current life and sent to the abyss to redeem himself before he could be granted a reward like his companions.

Personality: What were they like beyond the normal villainy?

Signature Ability: Consume - As a powerful mage able to bend energy to his will, Gua was able to suck the life energy out of a weakened or fallen enemy of replenish his own. At his height he could suck the life out of entire armies with the wave of a hand.

Abilities: The Myriad - At the height of his power, Gua was able to summon 800 celestial spirits to fight with him as a personal army, and with the support of Hyilin's Battle Inspiration, able to double it to 1,600 alone. These spirits were incorporal beings who acted like shadow clones of Gua, and were able to work with him to fight against any threat that the party came into contact with.

Redeemed Version

Background: Noa Isou (19, Female, Yin, Enchanted Gunfighting)

Appearance: Words or picture. Anime or drawn is okay, try to avoid real pics.

Summary: 800 years later, after being cast into the darkness by the Goddess of Redemption, Gua Gefa is reborn as Noa Isou, a newborn girl born to a dirt poor petty street thief, Ma Isou, and his girlfriend, Let Hui, sent as punishment to work on a plantation in the New World colonies as slaves after Ma had stolen food from the home of a government official in Agake. For his gluttony and his abuse of his position, Gua was reborn as the only child of a slave couple, and for his lechery and abuse of women, he was reborn as a young girl.

Noa was chosen from a young age to take care of the children of her owner, and spent a good deal of her time in the house. Naturally very intelligent, she taught herself to read and write, and was able to sneak away and educate herself about history and other such intellectual topics by way of using her house key to sneak into her owner's personal library and reading of his books while the family were gone. During one such encounter, she was met with a familiar voice of a divine protector, who told her that she was to embark on a quest to redeem herself of the burdens of her past life. It was then that she found of her secret abilities from that past life when her owner found her in his personal chambers and attacked her. In fear, she had grabbed onto his skin and drained the life out of him. In horror at having killed her owner, Noa fled into the countryside, taking his rife and following only the instructions of the voice she heard.

Personality: While having more understanding and care for the values of life, Noa still holds onto some traits of her time as Gua. She is still very gluttonous and rather lazy, and maintains her previous lustfulness. However, these traits rule her much less than before, and she is much more kind hearted and caring towards those around her than in her previous life.

Signature Ability: The one ability or item you were known for. Also the only unchanged ability after being Redeemed.

Redeemed Abilities: What abilities do you still have after being reborn? How have they been weakened?

Name:
Yanata



Bio:
Between the layers of the Earth lies the realm known only as Asphodel. The subterranean world comprises the hollow center of the planet, containing a magical core, called the Sol Noctis, a strange radiating body that provides heat and energy to center of the world.

Long ago in ancient times, a small group of humanity taking refuge in a great cave system wandered deep into the great tunnels bridging the two surfaces, becoming separated from humanity for the next few thousand years, forming their own distinct species and societies.

They would be isolated until human mining activities broke through the surface and discovered the planes of Asphodel. While attempting to harvest the resources of this alien world, the humans came in contact with their long lost cousins, beings they termed as fiends.

The war between Humans and Fiends have been waging war for centuries, with humans invading Asphodel and Fiends invading the Surface, now undergoing an uneasy truce between species.

Yanata is a fiend born and raised in the area of Gallafa, where the first humans reached Asphodel. Yanata came to find that the truce between human and friend is about to be broken by warmongers who seek revenge and profit from the battle. Yanata, a private investigator, working to uncover the mysterious murder of a young fiend man seemingly using unknown weapons, and uncover the truth about his murder lest it spark another war between species.

In fighting against the mysterious organization known as the Black Hand, she found the Hand had unleashed some kind monster as a weapon. Around this time, Yanata discovered the Keyblade and its power to slay these so called "Heartless".

Age: 33

Skills:
Fiends are physically much stronger than humans, being accustomed to the crushing pressure and gravity of Asphodel, and have a higher resistance to things such as magic as they are constantly exposed to the radiation of the Sol Noctis.

Like all fiends, Yanata posesses two antler like horns that act like insects antennae, being perceptive of small vibrations and increasing her hearing, and even being able to taste the air like a tongue.

As a private investigator, Yanata has a history of detecting motives in speech and being able to gauge the trustworthiness and truthfulness of those she speaks to. She has a knack for finding information and connecting the dots of mysteries.

As she has only just discovered the nature of magic and the Keyblade, she is very unskilled in both, for now dependent upon her natural strengths and skill in fighting.

Personality:
Yanata grew up during the last Great War between the Fiends and Humans, being displaced and relocated many times. She has a great dislike for violence and desires a peaceful solution whenever possible. She has a desire for Humans and Fiends to exist peacefully together, though she is slightly warry of humans. For the most part she is quiet and pensive, seeking to avoid conflict whenever possible.

Asphodel

Asphodel

The story of Asphodel begins long ago when ancient humans discovered a complicated tunnel system under the Ural Mountains 50,000 years ago. With the tribe that reaches the subterranean world of Asphodel becoming the first to set foot on a parallel world inside of a hollow earth.

Time moved on as per our timeline on the surface, with the human population in the subterranean Asphodel diverging into a sister species, the Fiends, with their gray skin, antler like horns, black and yellow eyes, and a far more tribal and agressive nature influenced by their exposure to the strange ans powerful lifesource of the planet, the Sol Noctis.

By the 1950s, humans had broken into Asphodel a second time, trying to wage war with the native fiends over their resources. The result was a series of devistating battles that crippled both worlds. As a result, a truce was called that currently is ongoing, resulting in a type of cold war.

Though in Asphodel, a shady organization known as the Black Hand seek to restart war with humanity and begin a Fiend take over of the surface world.
