Fate oath/alternative (Festival of Epics Reboot) Sign Ups

Appearance: This guy, perhaps?

—Personality—

On the surface, Daedalus appears to have a cold personality. He gives off an air of dour, melancholic world-weariness, tempered by a penchant for dry humour. Though he rarely shows it, he is mostly kind and caring towards those close to him.

While he may go about his work in a nonchalant manner, he is in fact highly perfectionist and industrious. He has mellowed somewhat from his extreme pridefulness in his younger days which had cost him so tragically, being content to modestly pursue the technological arts for the sake of itself, rather than for fame and fortune.

> Item Construction: B-
The skill to make magical items. Has the genius and resources to craft automaton parts that are on a divine level, but anything else he constructs are purely non-magical items, made out of mundane materials.

> Territory Creation: C-
The skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Daedalus can build a 'workshop' in the layman's understanding of the term, with equipment that facilitates creation and upkeep of his technological and engineering marvels. Qualification as 'a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus' comes from the raw materials and magical equipment provided by Zeus for him to create amalgata parts out of, which are the only resources he has that are actually magical.

Talos
Rank: A++
Type: Variable
Range: Variable
Max Targets: Variable

An automaton with a body that runs primarily on an unobtanium called ichor, built by Daedalus with the help of Zeus to serve as a guardian Europa, princess of Phoenicia. She was said to be named after the word for the sun in the old Cretean language, however, it is more likely that her namesake was something far more personal and... familial to Daedalus.

Of all the amalgata Daedalus constructed, Talos was the finest, in part due to the provisions of divine aid and material by the chief deity of Olympus. A living weapon with an actual soul, though her existence is closer to that of Enkidu than the likes of the Seventh Scripture. As an object of lore with her own, distinct spirit, she will be summoned alongside Daedalus as a Heroic Spirit Noble Phantasm.

Appearance: This would probably be a good fit for her Berserker form, if not for the seifuku.

—Personality—

"Stupid Europa. It's n-not like I want to p-protect you anyway, idiot...!"
As an artificial construct, Talos was given a soul by Zeus, running on a functional, self-improving suite of emotional modules which mimicks the formation of human personality from the union of soul and body.

Loyalty and affection towards her master is the foremost aspect of the software. However, due to the typical bumbling of Zeus, it seems to have malfunctioned somewhat, integrating some of the code from her combat personality, creating an interesting blend of external petulance and internal solicitude.

"There is but one outcome of this particular duel and it is the utter destruction of your pathetic visage by my hands."
When switching to combat mode, mental facilities, including outward and internal emotions are altered to suit the situation. The primary changes are removal of emotions that may negatively affect the outcome of the battle, such as anxiety, uneasiness and fear. Talos becomes cool, levelheaded and somewhat standoffish. Mental facilities are automatically and seamlessly altered regardless of the gravity of the situation, to the point where Talos might seem a little overconfident, especially in the face of a superior foe.

> Independent Action: B+
Ability to remain independent even when rejecting or otherwise being forfeit of the Master's prana supply.

Capable of remaining in this world for two days without an established contract. Also capable of living on for a short period of time after suffering extensive damage on her spiritual core. Powering down and running only critical systems on her own internal fuel supply, an unconscious Talos can remain in the world for about two extra days, however, if no Master is actively seeking her, it becomes merely a futile struggle for survival.

—Personal Skills—

> Binary Processing Instructions: B
Thought processes and functioning logic that are completely alien to living organisms make it highly possible to shut out any mental interference thaumaturgy. Basically bamboozles mages with technobabble.

Furthermore, magical enhancements slaved to the mechanical architecture of the Reenactment Activation Module, such as a transformation Noble Phantasm, become considerably harder to dispel through thaumaturgical means, save through direct physical inteference.

> analysis [shift_priority_max]: A-
Eye of Mind is the heightened insight refined through experience.

Augmented due to inhumanly powerful and robust computational power, analytical programs and memory. Capable of cold, calculated and logical analysis of battle conditions even when in mortal danger and deduction of the best course of action after considering all possibilities not just to escape from a predicament, but to completely turn the tables on the foe and ensure victory.

As it were though, Zeus was a rather paranoid prick, which resulted in a hardcoded tendecy for her analytical programs to leak data to the speech module, informing all within the vicinity about her opinion of the situation. It does have a rather good intimidation factor, though.

execute: velocitas_eradico - I am Speed and I Destroy
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1 – 60
Max Targets: 1

The main armament of the guardian of Europa, a veritable divine black box of automaton technology installed into the left arm and imbibed with a small fraction of Zeus's lightning powers. A nameless piece of equipment that was nevertheless famed for repelling the Argo at Cretes. Its trigger was altered following the conquest of the Aegean islands and by extension, Cretes. This was the only part of Talos that was wholly designed and created by Zeus.

Kinetic penetrator weapon that accelerates giant frickin' ferromagnetic rocks filled with highly volatile ichor, the prana-packed golden blood of gods and immortals (supposedly), to hypersonic speeds through the power of Zeus's lightning. Pods behind the mechanism compress and store innumerable spare rocks which are decompressed in a manner similar to Black Keys. Not particularly mystical or powerful but since it is part of the body itself, doesn't have or require a name to be called out to use. From a third-party oberver's point of view, it is as though a powerful force radiated from the left hand, blasting away boulders.

Pirates used to say that Talos merely threw rocks at them but then again, if those villians drunken on ale couldn't tell their hands from the mast, no one expects them to stop and think for one moment why someone throwing rocks at them was making holes bigger than Jolly Roger's smile on the broadside either.

execute: velocitas_eradico_overdrive - Last Roar of the Unshackled Automaton
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-60
Max Targets: 40

A desperation attack that can only be used in Talos's Aetus Dios form. Unlike the conventional attack, using her armament this way requires a secondary override command issued from the core of the Circuit Processing Unit to the speech module. In effect, the name of the attack must be called out.

The limiters on all offensive hardware preventing catastrophic self-inflicted injury are removed. Converting all the remaining ichor in the body into a powerful charge, Talos's left arm accelerates a massive lump of ichor and metal to 1.3 percent of lightspeed that impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. The recoil, strain and backblast of the attack as well as the exsanguination of ichor in the body causes severe physical trauma, causing the entire system to go into a critical state of stasis.

execute: initiate_battlemode - Aetos Dios, Knight of the Lightning God
Rank: B
Type: Self
Range: 1
Max Targets: Self

Physical transformation into a hulking, armoured mecha standing about three meters tall that better exemplifies the conventional image of an robot. Rather than being piloted or worn however, the armour fuses itself with the user's body, which is why it best described as a 'transformation'. A power suit of sorts that also includes significant layers of modification to the behavioural firmware. It has a bronze-like metallic appearance and proportions that obfuscates Talos's gender.

The armour provides greater protection than Talos's skin surface and also augments her physical capabilities. Unboosted, it provides defense strong enough to block multiple hits from a C-rank Noble Phantasm save on the left ankle and increases the strength of vitality to the equivalent of a C-rank Battle Continuation.

>> execute: initiate_boost [lvl=#]

The main function of Aetos Dios. Utilises fused hardware to imbibe ichor into the weapons and body, providing a temporary, variable increase in performance parameters, from one rank in a single stat up to a rank in all parameters at maximum output. Ichor has higher magical energy density and efficiency than using prana as-is, leading to improved performance and lower overall prana consumption. Enough ichor is stored in the Prana Storage Unit to maintain maximum output for fifteen minutes.

Further boosting without refuelling will divert ichor from the Circuit Processing Unit instead of drawing raw prana from the rest of the body, as for some reason (probably shoddy coding), the firmware doesn't have provisions for boosting with prana. In this case, lower priority sensory, emotional and possibly reasoning emulation processes are temporarily halted, in exchange for increased physical performance. If enough ichor has been siphoned out of the Circuit Processing Unit, the entire body will grind to a halt, initiating a lengthy emergency reboot.
