CHARACTER INFO
NAME: Sakamoto RyoumaSERIES: Fate/Grand Order
CANON POINT: Post-Shōwa Kishin Project GUDAGUDA Ryouma's Close Call!
AGE: ??? (31 when he died)
CHARACTER SUMMARY:
For the most part, Ryouma is a simple guy with an impossible dream who is just doing his best. He is kind-hearted and selfless to a fault, willing to give everything he has to create a better world for others because he genuinely loves people and wants to help them. He lacks any real personal ambitions, and much of his success as a negotiator comes from the fact that he negotiates with nothing in it for himself. He believes that he exists in the world to perform a duty and that he must always keep moving forward in order to accomplish it.POWERS:
Whatever Ryouma does, he must do it his own way. He is independent and determined, which mostly comes from his great deal of confidence in himself. While these traits have generally served him well, there is also a negative side. He is occasionally too proud and reckless, prone to letting his selflessness turn self-destructive. Ryouma freely admits that he would rather run away from sadness and negativity, which also makes him extremely evasive about his feelings and desires. He would rather suffer in silence if he feels he's doing right by someone else — it's fine because he's smiling! He does not enjoy killing or violence but doesn't have much in the way of moral hangups when it comes to just about anything else, if it means getting the job done with as little bloodshed as possible. He peacefully overthrew the government once, after all.
Ryouma is a Servant. Essentially, this means that he has a body composed entirely of magic (ether) with enhanced strength, abilities, senses, and durability (compared to a human). When a Heroic Spirit is summoned as a Servant, they are something like a complex magical familiar and are more or less bound by the constraints assigned to them by the class they're summoned as. In Ryouma's case, he is summoned as a Lancer.
A Servant has both a spiritual and corporeal form which they can shift between at will. A Servant must take their corporeal form to be able to sense or interact with the physical environment. Their spiritual form allows them to conserve mana as they have no physical form to maintain.
Since he does not have his wife/partner, Oryou, but she is part of his Saint Graph, Ryouma will manifest in Kenos with two Shards. For the same reason, I have also listed his mildly magically enhanced moe that offsets the fact that he looks like he can't be trusted skill (Charisma) from his Rider class form to replace a skill associated with Oryou.
Since Ryouma is in his Lancer form, he is able to be summoned like any other Servant and no longer has the benefit of independent action via the Counter Force. However, I'm playing him as if he doesn't require a Master in Kenos but can have one if he wants, which would be a boost to his mana reserves. As with any Servant, his mana usage can get expensive if there's a lot of fighting to be done, but as a Lancer with limited magical capabilities, he is on the lower end of magical drain.
His stats within Fate are as follows:
Strength: B
Endurance: C
Agility: B+
Mana: C
Luck: A-
Noble Phantasm: EX
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: C+
Riding: EX
Personal Skills:
Dragon of Restoration: A
Amasakahoko (Twin): B
Charisma: C+
Now, to loosely define those and establish where the nerfs are:
- Class Skill — Riding: EX
- It's possible for him to operate any vehicle and ride any beasts.
- Class Skill — Magic Resistance: E
- Instead of negating magic, this will give him some amount of magic resistance.
- Personal Skill — Dragon of Restoration:
- Confidence under pressure and the ability to maintain a strong forward momentum even in the face of chaos or difficulties.
- "Despite being very much human, Sakamoto Ryouma was known by many as a dragon. Riding the tumultuous waves of Bakumatsu-era Japan, he devoted himself solely to improving the lives of his fellow man. Though his own noble life came to a fleeting end, during his time in this world, he was truly like a dragon soaring through the heavens."
- Personal Skill — Amasakahoko (Twin): B
- The spear no longer has god-sealing or dragon-transforming abilities. It still has its canon abilities to transform itself (he can turn it into a single spear, two swords, etc.), but mana will always be a constraint if he intends to use its more magical properties.
- "A spear of light that was used to sew the earth and heavens together, it was cast down by the gods in order to seal away the dark monstrosity. Though originally only a single spear, it becomes a set of two when wielded by a certain man and his orochi companion. Ultimately, this spear of light turned out to be both a curse and a blessing."
- Personal Skill — Charisma: C+
- The intangible ability to be able to inspire cooperation in others despite not being a ruler or politician.
- "He may not be able to run a nation, but he possesses solid connections with whom he is affiliated and swore to serve until death. At times, Ryouma's power can be strong enough to weaken groups having ideologies that clash with his."
- Noble Phantasm
- Since Ryouma is without Oryou, he doesn't technically have a Noble Phantasm. However, he does have a legendary weapon, so for the purposes of RP, I interpret this as allowing him the ability to use an enhanced single-target attack with limited use. For example, in canon, he can turn the spear into a powerful shoulder-mounted gun that fires a laser.
(thanks christy since i referred to quetz's fate/ stuff for this lmao)
GAME INFO
ASPECTS:- Advocate: Ryouma embodies the Advocate aspect very strongly. His goals prioritise others over himself, he is compassionate, and he finds great joy in everything, no matter how simple it is — especially if it's new and he's never experienced it before. Low self-worth is tied to his negative traits, given his tendency to ignore his own feelings and act recklessly if it would mean helping someone else.
- Harbinger: Ryouma believes that the purpose of his existence is to accomplish his duty and tirelessly pursues this goal no matter how impossible it may seem. He also formerly made a pact with the World to continue striving for his dream after his death.
ANTICIPATED FACTION:
Ryouma would be drawn toward Meridian because he would not love the idea of abandoning the worlds and everyone in them to their fate without even trying to get them back. Sure, he said he wanted to "create a world where everyone can be happy", but probably not like that.
SUITABILITY:
Ryouma has been described as a busybody and will be very motivated to involve himself in things so that he can try to help while minimising people's suffering as much as he can. He will understand the necessity of the conflict but doesn't think it has to be violent if there could be a better way. He also claims to hate politics but is actually quite good at them, so he will probably take an interest in diplomatic matters, like it or not.
