ABOUT Appearance White hair, middling-dark brown skin, grey eyes. He's just under 6'2" and is very buff. Abilities Temporarily creating swords (and other objects, but mostly swords) out of thin air, mostly. He's also super-fast, super-strong, and super-tough, and he's capable of becoming invisible and insubstantial. About Archer pings as a ghost or spirit made up of magical energy to anyone who can sense that sort of thing. However, he is totally solid and does not particularly appear ghostly in any way. To those who can read the nature of souls, Archer's has some kind of alignment with humanity as a whole and a strong affinity with the concept of "swords." Telepaths and empaths will find that his mind is constantly boiling over with bitterness and self-loathing. PERMISSIONS
I am up for just about anything, but Archer is kind of broken, self-loathing, and dead inside and unlikely to be interested in any form of affection at first. |
LOST MEMORIES
♠ Home life with Kiritsugu. He was a poor excuse for an adult.
♠ The face of Illyasviel von Einzbern.
♠ Being given his trademark red coat by Ciel.
♠ Kiritsugu's death. "It's impossible since you're an adult, but it should be all right for me. Let me take on your dream. I'll make it come true." In the bright night, I remember only my eyes being hot. I did not cry out nor did I feel sad. But I could not stop my tears until the moon sunk.
♠ Asking Saber to teach him a special super-move and getting beaten up for it.
♠ Watching Saber fade away at the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War still carrying regrets and unable to let go of her wish.
♠ Trying to fight a shadowy monstrosity but being forced to retreat because there was nothing he could do.
CHANGES FROM CANON
♠ Desire to live. Archer has never truly wanted to live; only stubbornness ever kept him going. Eventually, he actively wanted to destroy his own existence. Now he has an unfamiliar desire to regain his life. It bothers and upsets him, but he can't make it go away. By extension, it raises the question that he may be able to have other desires of his own, an unfamiliar concept to him.
♠ Lowered impulse control. The corruption makes Haku's emotions and impulses stronger and his ability to resist them weaker. He's more likely to confess feelings or do something rash that he could have held back from before.
♠ Enhanced sexual desire. While in flesh and blood people the corruption causes physical hunger, in Haku as a spirit it makes him crave spiritual energy. This manifests as an increased desire for sex and an enhanced ability to feel lust in general, especially when he's running low on mana.
♠ Archer would grandiosely describe his experience with the corruption as, "I was an empty vessel, and then I was filled with rot."
OTHER
♠ Masochism. The combination of the enhanced libido from the corruption and his experience with one of the arbiters has left Haku with an intense sexual masochism. Just about any pain turns him on.
♠ Refreshed memories. Paradoxically, even as Archer loses his memories due to the mechanics of the Forest, an effect from healing has refreshed his remembrance of his early life, which had since been worn down by his miserable eternal afterlife.
♠ Enhanced sensation. The same effect that brought back his early memories has made all emotion and sensation act on him more strongly for the time being. This may fade in time.
