Class: Saber

True Identity: Ying Zheng, the First Emperor of China. A controversial figure in Chinese history, he unified China and passed a series of major political reforms. Undertaking gigantic projects, including the first version of the current Great Wall of China, the First Emperor was also notorious for being a tyrant and carrying out many cruel measures. Despite this, however, he was only doing what he thought was best for the national. He was such a vital character to the history of China that the Throne of Heroes took him in as a summonable Eirei.

Motivation, Personality, and Behaviors: Saber is motivated by a simple wish: having a new, immortal body so he could rule over China as its benevolent (Some would say, despotically benevolent) Emperor once more. Saber appears as a middle aged, powerfully built man with chiseled features and a long, Asian-looking beard. He is cold, respectful, curious, and quite generous in terms of behavior but is also rather uptight and tense. A well-intentioned extremist, Saber is extremely formal and will always address his opponents with respect, though he naturally thinks that the majority of the individuals are below him.

Famous quote: "The reason why China suffers bitterly from endless wars is because of the existence of feudal lords and kings. A reliance on ancestral temples initially brought stability, but the revival of states results in the spread of soldiers. Doing so will never bring about stability!"

Mental Pollution

Rank: E

Saber is only slightly deranged – however, it is impossible to talk Saber out of anything that may lead to the discovery of the fabled Elixir of Life.

Imperial Authority

Rank: A

Such is the force of Saber's authority that anyone who retreats when Saber issues a formal challenge with the Imperial Seal loses a rank in all of their stats for 24 hours.


Noble Phantasms:

Chuan Guo Bi: The Imperial Seal

Rank:E-A

Type: Support

A seemingly minor artifact made out of a solid piece of jade, Saber carries this item with him at all times. By challenging an opponent with the Chuan Guo Bi, or the Imperial Seal, Saber gains the Imperial Authority ability. In addition, the Chuan Guo Bi materializes two items – a small bamboo scroll and a regally adorned blade. These items automatically appear on Saber's belt and are with him at all times.

Feng Yin Zhi Jian: Sword of Seals

Rank: E

Type: Anti-Unit

Max target: 1

A regally adorned Jian, or Chinese straight sword. Saber's preferred weapon.


Fen Shu: The Burning of Books
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Fortress

Max Target: 1-1000
This Noble Phantasm takes the shape of a small bamboo scroll, in which Saber always keeps by his side. By opening the scroll and reading the philosophy of Legalism out loud, he may activate this item. Thousands and thousands of old Chinese works of literature, belonging to the Hundred Schools of Thought begins to fall from the heavens as soon as Saber opens up the scroll.

While the scrolls themselves are not necessarily dangerous, the fact that Saber can command them to burst into flames or spontaneously combust that makes this Noble Phantasm especially dangerous. In addition, any written item within1d6 miles of Saber is instantly destroyed, unless the item in nature is exceptional in quality or fire resistant. Fen Shu is magical in nature and would be a mere nuisance against Servants with a decent magic defense. However, the activation of this Noble Phantasm is required for Saber to use some of his stronger Noble Phantasms.

Keng Ru: The Burying of Scholars

Rank: C (A+)
Type: Anti-Unit
Max Target: 1
Under the authority of the Imperial Seal, Saber activates this artifact, which transports Saber's opponent to a deep pit inside an alternate, spontaneously generated dimension. The opponent is then buried in an avalanche of magically generated sand, gravel, and boulders. This Noble Phantasm requires direct contact – in other words, Saber must have struck his opponent at some point in order for it to work. Incidentally, the strength of this Noble Phantasm is boosted to an A+ rank against scholarly Servants, generally of the Caster Type.

It is possible to break free from Keng Ru. Doing so requires high mana, strength, or luck.

Xuan Yuan JIan: The Sword of Xuan Yuan, Ancients of Spring and Autumn

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Unit

Max Target: ???
Saber's ultimate weapon. The unsealed state of the Feng Yin Zhi Jian. Resembles a short, stylized Chinese straight sword, but two large characters are written on the hilt – Xuan Yuan, the name of the ancestor of the Chinese people. While in this state, the sword boosts all of Saber's stats by one full rank. In addition, such is the might of the Xuan Yuan Jian that it is able to instantaneously destroy Noble Phantasms of lower ranking should a direct hit be scored on it, and severely damage stronger Noble Phantasms.

Errata: Was rejected from the 4th and 5th Heaven's Feel due to lack of fanservice and sex appeal. Apparently, well-cultivated Fu Manchus and long topknots are no longer considered to be attractive.
