flashsheathCHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Nanaya Shiki
Fandom: Melty Blood
Canon point: Beginning of his route in Actress Again
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
History: Fighting game history, etc, etc. Thankfully, Nanaya shares the same background as Tohno so the following link will be good and he has a small section in the “Other Version” section for his inclusion in the Melty Blood games.
http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Tohno_Shiki
Personality:
Nanaya, first and foremost, is a killer. He's cool and competent and doesn't bat an eye at spilled blood. Being the reflection of the emotions Tohno Shiki never used, he represents the monster that Tohno Shiki fears most. He approaches his hobby of killing with a nonchalant personality and seems to revel in the philosophy of the moment. He rarely refers to the act itself as killing, instead preferring metaphors or off the wall sayings or just plain invented words. Nanaya also applies these philosophical words to much of everything he does, adding a chilling intelligence to his already cold demeanor.
As a person, Nanaya is rather carefree and doesn't give a flip about the consequences of his actions. Even if he loses a fight or has a near death experience, he takes it as if he was just taking a next step in a hike. Insults and other nonsense blow right by him and he'll answer it with a smile. He truly believes he has one goal, which is to kill everyone he sees.
Outside of this, Nanaya does have another side which, while odd, he doesn't hide in the slightest. While self-serving, he enjoys his partnership with White Len and doesn't mind catering to her whims. When it comes to other young looking girls, he is very much the same. He avoids bringing harm to them and much prefers if they were good people so he could continue to spoil them. He also seems to enjoy physical beauty of those younger than him as hinted by his comment to Miyako regarding her firm legs and thighs.
Much like Tohno before him, he has a way with girls. While Tohno may be slightly oblivious of the fact, Nanaya seems to recognize it rather well. He may tease and taunt girls to get a reaction but, in the end, if they aren't young, they'll end up dead.
SERVANT ABILITIES
Class: Assassin
Special Ability:
Flash Sheath and Flash Dash - While certainly not the fastest servant, Nanaya is capable of tremendous bursts of speed. For dashing, Nanaya can cover around ten meters of space in a single movement and far faster than the eye can track. This is an important ability that allows him to close the final bit of distance between him and his target to make an instant kill or to simply dodge attacks. In terms of flash sheath, Nanaya can apply that speed to his arm and take affect of the same bonuses a samurai has when he draws a sword from his sheath; speed faster than the eye can track and increased range. With this technique, Nanaya can lash out up to eighteen times (the max he can do in game) in the blink of an eye.
6th Sense – An ability that all assassins have a small grasp on, Nanaya's seems to be almost precognitive in nature. He can sense when he is being attacked or even when someone has the intent of attacking him. This ability keeps him from being surprised in battle and forces opponents to duel him straight on as he cannot be blindsided, snuck up on, or casually sniped from a distance.
Noble Phantasm:
Nanatsu-yoru - A simple knife. A low, low class D-Rank noble phantasm with no abilities attached to it. It is simply there to allow him to harm other servants since normal weapons will not.
Mystic Eyes of Death Perception - Upgraded for usage on servants, noble phantasms, and magical attacks. It's a passive noble phantasm since it doesn't do any damage in itself but allows the normally weak knife of his to maim or kill in a single stroke or stab. To put it simply, he sees and attacks the existence of his target but cutting lines (cleanly dismembers the attached parts ignoring armor and any other defenses) or by stabbing points (destroys the target completely). Normally, this ability would bypass regeneration but for the sake of balance and a nod toward the regeneration abilities of the Knight classes, it will be removed.
Pure Eyes - Another set of eyes Nanaya possesses, these seem to always be activated. Once again, it's a passive effect but it also offers no offensive help. What Nanaya's pure eyes allow him to see are “things that are not meant to be seen”. Ghosts, seeing through illusions, or even Saber's sword can all be viewed by this ability. It is easy enough to say that if the intention is for Nanaya to not see it, his eyes will pick up on it.
Weakness:
Despite his amazing agility and speed, Nanaya lacks power, defense, and reach. Knowledge on how his Mystic Eyes work or knowledge of the existence of them would prove detrimental as many would could possibly confuse those abilities as something his knife performs and he would lose his element of surprise, the one thing he would rely on to successfully win battles. For Nanaya, the longer servant vs servant battles last, the lower his chances are of winning.
Another major weakness is that Nanaya prefers to not kill...underage girls. It's off the wall but he's a semi-pedo and in canon, he always prefers to knock them out and take them home as opposed to mercilessly slaughtering them.
Stats:
Strength: C – Medium to Low
Agility: A to EX – High Speed and Quick Reaction Times
Mana: B – All Abilities Require Very Little Mana To Use
Luck: A - 6th Sense Increases This Stat Naturally
Endurance: B – Can Move At High Speeds For Extended Periods of Time
Magic Resistance: F - None
Riding: D
OTHER
Any preferences for Master personality?: If his Master is a goodie goodie, he/she will probably be offed by Nanaya so it would be best to stick him with someone who's morals are a little more iffy.
Player Availability: EST and I'm online usually from the Evenings all the way through to the following morning. Graveyard shift, etc.
Apping with a Master? No
SAMPLES
First-person:
Ah, ah~ Looks like I've finally been summoned into the world. You should welcome me into this wonderful game, Master. After all, I am servant Assassin, specializing in silent kills and gruesome murders. For you, the Ultimate Truth of life will be revealed and let me assure you, it comes in the simplest form.
Shall I open the curtains? This show is about to start.
Third-person:
A quick step to the side, a dip at the hip, a quick twirl; fighting truly was like dancing. A lightweight play on ice, one you would go to your local rink to see. It would be a beautiful musical filled with singing, dips, back flips, and other feats of gymnastics. Nanaya felt this exact feeling while doing his own pirouette, dodging what certainly would be a fatal strike from his longtime rival, Kishima.
Hmph, nearly every blow swung by this beast could probably sunder Nanaya into two but the thought didn't bother him in the slightest. He just neatly moved out of the way and interrupted with knife slashes of his own. No single cut was fatal nor were they all that painful but something about “death by a thousand paper cuts” had ridden well with Nanaya today.
It didn't take long for him to grow tired of the sport. A thousand slashes were a lot and his opponent moved slow enough to be rather predictable. After allowing a fist to go under his arm, Nanaya simply sliced off his head, granting Kishima a quick death. The feeling that flowed through him was wondrous, yet another sense of satisfaction. He put his knife away and stuffed his hands into his pockets so he was back in his normal neutral position.
“Let your soul scatter in vivid color. Perhaps you'll suffocate a bug in your passing.”
A taunting enough exit worthy of this killer. He set off, unknowing of his next target. The boy had simply just picked a direction and put one foot in front of the other. Life was much like that, taken one step at a time. You didn't need any grand plans to “win” or do anything substantial. All you needed was a brain, two arms, and two feet.
One step. Two steps. Three steps. Four.
Everything else couldn't matter less.
