Name: Siegfried Door: Door pass. Canon: fate/ Canon Point: fate/Grand Order; post-Apocrypha event Age: hAHAHAHAHA I hate fate- he's around 1600ish? His lore is collected around the time of 432AD, so. Physically he looks no more than late 20s/early 30s. Appearance: [1] [2] [3] History: Wiki history with his lore in there as well Personality: Positive: Selfless, gentle, steadfast. » One of the greatest and most prominent factors about Siegfried is his desire to help. Despite being a prince, he left the court to pursue a life as a knight, aiding whomever he could find. » He is the epitome of a gentle giant- while his exterior looks intimidating and his presence can be described as nothing short of a threat, his quietness and his kindness break through to prove otherwise. This has been especially true since he's become half-dragon. » His strongest belief is that because he was immortal because of killing Fafnir and bathing in his blood, that any task given to him should be something he could do, regardless of what it was. » He led armies into battle and was the voice of reason for many men who listened. Soldiers would hearken to his figure as a stalwart hero who always helped whoever asked of him. Siegfried was a leader in both strategy and warfare- he knew how to defeat armies single-handedly, as well as guide Xanten's own military to victory. Negative: Stubborn. » Even if he's told he shouldn't do something- if Siegfried believes it's the right or only way, he will do everything he can to see it through. Even if it means he dies in the process. » He refuses to see himself beyond what he did in his death. The tragedy caused by him he fully takes the blame for, and is too stubborn to see past it. » If he is loyal to someone or something, it's difficult to change his mind about them. They could be a traitor, or something that could end terribly. Until he views it for himself or experiences it firsthand, he does not budge on his views. » Siegfried believes that his burdens are his own, and convincing him that others are here to help is difficult. It isn't that he doesn't trust them, it's merely his view that he'd rather not trouble anyone else with his problems. They have enough to worry about without him adding anything to the pile. Overly Sacrificing. » He doesn't know the meaning of loving himself. To put it simply, Siegfried is a hero who doesn't know how to say "no" to someone. Help fend off bandits? Yes. Protect a village? Yes. Kill a dragon? Also yes. If it was achievable, he did it. » Siegfried fully believes that as a hero, he must give everything he is in order to make others happy. Oftentimes this ends up with others worrying about him or distressing them when he's only trying to help. » He will put himself consistently in danger if it means someone else will be safe. » Any consideration for his own well-being is lost when another person needs help. It could be a suicidal mission, and he would still go if it meant someone would be happy and able to continue living. If it is his choice, then he will not hesitate. » Most of his actions are instinctual- and most of them tend to put him in harm's way or cause him injury if it comes to it. Siegfried is not one who does things in halves; either he goes all in or avoids the situation entirely. The latter is incredibly rare. Low Self-Worth. » This is his largest and most well known trait for the entire series. A man who is convinced he is not a good person because of his tragedy, Siegfried spends most of his time either apologizing for everything (even things that make no sense as to why he apologized) or making himself smaller compared to everyone else. He has saved many lives, killed a legendary dragon, fought and won many battles- and none of it feels as if he has done good, for what hero actually ever causes tragedy or suffering to the ones he loves? » (cw: suicide) High standards are always expected of heroes and those that dedicate themselves to others, and it was no different for Siegfried. His kindness and concern for others was so great that it swallowed him whole and led him to kill himself. He can only see himself as a coward for his death, and that he could not live up to the standards even he himself wished for. » Because of this, he does not value his own life. While survival is still instinct to him, if he was given a choice to sacrifice himself for someone else, even a complete stranger? He'd do it. He has no consideration when it comes to self-preservation. » He regards most of his desires to live as he wants as "selfish," and does not think he deserves most of what he wants. Even if it is a simple desire- "I wish to be a hero of justice" - Siegfried can only see it as him focusing on something that isn't allowing him to be a hero. » To put it simply; he is a man without happiness, without pride, without a spine- but does not see it as such. He doesn't mind continuing as he has, as he feels that's the proper way he should be. Powers and Abilities: Spirit form - Like all Servants, Siegfried has the ability to go into a spirit form and follow his Master around without being seen. Likewise, he can travel through walls in this form, but cannot carry anything physical with him at any point. Incredible swordsmanship - As a Saber class, his sword skills are unparalleled, as are many others who are in the same class. His skill is legendary with blades, though his forte lies in greatswords. Enhanced strength and speed - Most Servants have the ability to lift beyond average in weight and be exceptionally agile. As a Saber, Siegfried excels in both areas. Enhanced endurance - Because of his legend, he bathed in dragon blood and became immortal. He can last far longer than any soldier on the battlefield and still remain standing even after being hit with surely fatal attacks. If given enough time and mana, he can even heal himself completely, and keep going again. Flight - Being half-dragon, he's able to lift himself off the ground to high heights and carry someone else around with him with relative ease. Use of tail - Despite his tail being his "tell," he can consciously use it as a weapon or as a makeshift limb if he finds it necessary. It comes in handy for him in a pinch. Exceptional willpower - Though not an ability or a power, per se, it's important to note the strength of Siegfried's will. Like many other Servants, he's been bound to a Grail War before through command seals- spells that hold a Master's reign over the Servant they summon. However, unlike many Servants, if the command given to him goes against what he believes, Siegfried will refuse to do the command until he breaks it. This is incredibly rare, as most Servants, even in all their magnificence, cannot go against a command given by their Master. Noble Phantasms » Balmung. Anti-Army. A giant wave of blue energy that comes from his greatsword, Siegfried uses Balmung as his only offensive Noble Phantasm. It is capable of causing high damage if crashing against another Noble Phantasm, and was used as a weapon to eradicate entire armies. Since Siegfried is passive, he often doesn't use his Noble Phantasm unless he feels it's necessary. » Armor of Fafnir. Passive. Legend states that after Siegfried had slain Fafnir, the legendary evil dragon, he drank the dragon's blood and also bathed in it. Every part of him was then covered, save for a lime tree leaf on his back, and his skin became as hard as a dragon's scales. This Noble Phantasm is always active, and should he be attacked, the attack will either leave a strike on him or it won't. For any attacks rank B+ or below, he will not take damage. For any attacks A- or higher, he will- but his Armor of Fafnir will halve any incoming damage to him so long as he stands. It is an incredible mana sink and requires a mage with a tone of reserves, as the Noble Phantasm also allows him to recover from damage while in battle. TL;DR = He can nerf damage to himself either fully or in halves, depending on the rank of his opponent. Also, he consistently heals himself so long as his Master has the mana to spare. If struck on his back at any point, Siegfried will die. » Das Rheingold. Passive. As one who willingly took the Rheingold treasure in an effort to keep it out of the hands of man, Siegfried is plagued with tragedy. A cursed pile of gold, the Rheingold states that any owner who claims it shall carry the burden of tragedy for the rest of their days. It also has a unique curse that belongs to Siegfried- whatever timeline he comes to, wherever he is summoned, he will eventually confront Fafnir once more, and vice versa. He and Fafnir are to cross paths repeatedly until the end of time. Inventory: - Balmung, his greatsword - A hipo-wiff Samples: TDM thread, another example, and another example |
