Parameters

STR: D, END: D, AGI: D

MAG: E, LUK: EX, PHA: B



Class Skills

Riding B : Rather than animals, this Skill represents familiarity with vehicles of all sorts. It is insufficient to handle a phantasmal beast, so Rider is fortunate in his lack of a "mount".



Magic Resistance E : As a man of the modern era, Rider's weak Magic Resistance stems purely from the prana-blunting influence of the void beyond the World.



Personal Skills

Pioneer of the Stars EX : A Skill exclusive to heroes who became turning points in the development of humanity. It effectively provides a Luck bonus that scales with the difficulty of the Servant's goals - even the most impossible voyage becomes something that just might be completed. Rider carries with him the hopes and nightmares of half a million years worth of humans, gazing up at the night sky.



Colonial Spirit B : This Skill grants a Servant dominion over the mysteries of a land they conquered in life. Rider ranks up his traits twice when opposing mysteries related to the moon. This includes Dead Apostles, silver weapons, most werebeasts, and so on.



Expert of Many Specializations C : As the man who carried humanity beyond its cradle, Rider can compound his broad training with traces of all the knowledge that was piled up to fuel his ascent. This offers the equivalent of Rank D for all related knowledge Skills - science, engineering, astronomy, military skills, physical training, speech-writing, etc. He is the entire mission that brought him fame, embodied.



Noble Phantasm

Phoebus Lambda - One Small Step For a Man : C

This is the most basic state of Rider's Noble Phantasm - a suit of full white armour with a curious helmet. It offers only weak physical protection, but immunizes the wearer against all heat, cold and pressure, having been tempered in the emptiness beyond Gaia. It also offers an endless air supply, though this is irrelevant for a spirit. Its true power is enhancing Rider's movement - bursts of white flame jet from its joints and limbs, allowing him to propel himself through the air with a top speed comparable to a winged mythical beast - though his speed depends on the prana available to him. With a truly prodigious supply, he could even use these jets to mimic Prana Burst D in close combat.



Aegletes Lamda - One Giant Leap For Mankind : B (EX)

Invoking the true form of his Noble Phantasm, Rider's armour unfolds and transforms into a great white spear capable of piercing the heavens. This is his mount and armour and body all in one - he exists as part of the celestial engine. While this form offers him greater protection, it is still comparatively fragile - its true benefit is speed. His acceleration and top speed are exponentially increased, while his maneuverability is maintained. He also gains the ability to pierce any conceptual barriers with physical force - including the borders of Reality Marbles.



The prana cost of this form means it is most easily used for a single powerful charge - but unlike most Servant mounts, it cannot be simply dematerialized once unveiled. The light of humanity is costly indeed - it falls apart into motes of flame once Rider ends its use. Normally, this would prevent it from being used again, but special circumstances - or prana reserves on the level of an Einzbern homunculus - would allow Rider to reconstruct it.



The hidden EX ranking of this Noble Phantasm indicates its true nature - it is a Reality Marble that Rider is unaware of, and cannot fully grasp as a hero for the Age of Machines. All of the Phantasm's "powers" are in truth lesser aspects of this Reality Marble - the increased speed is a result of gravity-manipulation, while the barrier-piercing is part of its nature as a rival World. As an aside, the Marble itself is nigh-identical to the dead World of the Moon.
