Tales as Old as Time.


Gosunkugi sighed. "I was just ahead of the times," he said. "If our series were running now, I'd be the girl magnet protagonist with geek appeal and you'd be the bully rival."

Ranma frowned. "Sorry, what are we talking about again?"

Gosunkugi slammed his glass down. "You haven't been paying any attention to what I've been saying, have you!?"

Then he winced, having hurt his hand.

Ryouga sipped. "Actually, Ranma would be the ambigous appeal femboy falling in love with you. I'd be the bully rival, probably." He chugged the rest of his glass down.

Ranma and Gosunkugi stared at him in horror.

"Love Hina has a lot to answer for," Akane mused quietly.


Takahashi Rumiko woke up. "I have an idea for a revival," she said.

Biography:

Little is known about the background of Gosunkugi Hikaru. His most striking phsyical traits- his sunken brown eyes, the dark bags under his eyes, his pale skin, his skinny and scrawny frame and his black hair- appear to be inherited as both of his parents looked that way.

A shy, withdrawn boy, in Furinkan Junior High School he met and fell in love with the strong, fiery and driven Tendo Akane, also summonable as a Berserker, much like most of his male peers. Akane never even noticed he was in love with her, and Gosunkugi often had to work as an unwilling pawn for prideful upperclassman Kuno Tatewaki, also summonable as a Saber, and his sensual but insane sister Kuno Kodachi, also summonable as an Assasssin. He grew to bitterly despise Saotome Ranma, Akane's true love.

While frail, he is not without some resiliance, once being able to endure a dual blow from Ranma and Akane that sent him flying. He is a stalker and relentless photographer of those he likes, and he has a twisted fondness for macabre things. Why was such an unremarkable nobody pulled into the Throne of Heroes? Is he an avatar for the underdogs, the overlooked, the bullied and mocked all through human history? Who cares? Who should?

Class Skills:

Presence Concealment: A

He is so unremarkable people most often will not notice he is there. Even when he wants to draw attention upon himself, he has to loudly call for it.

This aids his Disengage skill as discussed in the Personal Skills.

A 'stalker' type Servant who is not adverse to backstabbing an enemy instead of attacking upfront, but he is loyal to a Master who treats him well.

Personal Skills:

Mystical Know-How: B

While he's well read in the subjects of magic, he cannot perform magic himself. He will stubbornly attempt to perform voodoo on his foes. But that is a folly, as he has no magical aptitude whatsoever.

Despite of it, his information is sound and he is well able to orientate a Master on styles of magic even a studied magus might not be familiar with.

In a war, he is a good advisor on the particularities of mysticism itself but his tactics on how to employ it usually leave a lot to be desired.

Photography: A

A valuable data for obtaining information on the enemy and ally alike. He also is no stranger to using a video camera and he might be called an expert on secrecy surveillance.

Assassin favors a Canon EOS (Electro-Optical System), a mirrorless autofocus single-lens reflex camera (SLR) produced by Canon Inc. and introduced in 1987.

Master of Disguise: C

While his disguises to assume the identity of other human beings are shoddy, and his impersonation of Saotome Ranma was laughably bad, his disguises to pretend being part of the scenery are highly remarkable and greatly help his Presence Concealment. Only the most stupid of Servants would be fooled by the former, but the later take very keen eyes to ever detect.

He also can disguise his Masters and allies like that.

Disengage: A

As a coward in the depth of his heart, Gosunkugi knows when to flee, and he is remarkably fast when escaping for someone so unathletic.

Often his foes will think he is not worth pursuing, and will just lose interest on the task as soon as he gains any ground on them.

Noble Phantasms:

Mind Control Paper Dolls: B

Anti-Unit.

Only works on individuals and not on objects, the scenery, or intangible beings. However, should they be put on Servants while they are tangible and should they assume their invisible spiritual forms, the dolls remain active on them until taken off by a third party.

Paper dolls shaped like diminutive men once given to Gosunkugi by a shady traveling salesman who took pity on him. He only needs to write a command on them, and slap them on a target, and they will feel compelled to do what written on them. The effect is comparable to that of two command seals.

Should he mess up and slap a doll on someone he didn't want to, that person will still carry the instruction intended for the actual target. These dolls can be used only once a day on each person, as a Servant, but up to seven of them a day can be used on different targets.

One-Punch Suit- Mecha of Protection: C

Self. Anti-Unit.

A suit of armor Gosunkugi once ordered through mail from an ad in a manga. It's intended to be a tool to protect weaklings from bullies. The suit latches onto him and protects him from most damage, even that applied to his uncovered face, but it also makes him even slower than he already is. He acts like a tank, and he cannot take the suit off until he lands a good knocking blow on his foe.

The suit includes metal chains thrown from his arms, which are used to immobilize foes, toss them around, hit them, and drag them along, but for the purposes of taking the suit off, only an actual punch will suffice. If the suit stays on too long (how much depending on the amount of mana that is available) it will explode knocking out but not actually hurting Assassin, and inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, although strong opponents can still survive that.

The suit only can be used once a day.

Start of Battle:

"E-Enter Assassin, the new rival!"

"Drew in deeply, you can do this..."

"Don't think I'm a coward, but..."

"I'm actually winning!"

"Heh heh!"

"Boo!"

"Bwa ha ha!"

"Heh, you're weak!"

Damage:

"Guh!"

"Not in the mouth, please!"

"What did I do to you!?"

"Bully!"

"Rotten bully!"

Damage by Noble Phantasm: "There's no reason why you should attack me so!"

"I won! I won! I won!"

"Is, is this actually happening!?"

"Oh, happiness!"

"Akane-san... I do this for you..."

"Huh, so this is what winning feels like. It's awesome!"

Defeat:

"This is my place in life..."

"Just for once... I thought it'd make it..."

"Akane-san..."

"Kogane-chan..."

"Ugh, this familiar feeling of shame!"

Summon: "B-Be afraid... The terrifying Assassin was drawn to your call for... a strong man who could infuse... the ever living fear in the hearts of your enemies... Name's Hikaru, how do you do."

Noble Phantasm Activation:

"These are something a traveling salesman once handed over after a small payment."

"Henshin! The Gosunkugi Suit of Awesome Kicking Badassery! Huh huh, now I sound so cool!"

Extra Dialogue:

"Th-The One Punch Man, huh? W-W-Well, pal, get ready to meet the One Punch Suit! Gulp." (When you have Berserker Saitama One Punch Man).

"M-Musashi-san? That name... No! You're not related to her! You're not her reincarnation! You're trying to trick me, to play with my tender heart! What have I ever done to you?" (When you have Saber or Berserker Miyamoto Musashi).

"S-S-S-S-Scary... But also so cool..." (When you have Avenger Batman).

"I have read about you! Gulp! It's, it's a honor, Sir, but please go haunt someone else!" (When you have Assassin Beetelgeuse).

"Is that... Is that what black magic leads to? Oh, no..." (When you have Caster Gilles de Rais).

"That's not what I imagined when I was told there would be witches and enchantresses in this army. I was thinking of buxom sorceresses in small black dresses..." (When you have Caster Wicked Witch of the West).

Birthday: "Happy birthday. Do you want to go visit a haunted house? No? I figured you'd say that. I've got some strange tastes."

Event: "In truth, I don't like big crowds. I don't stand out in them, and when I do, it's for all the wrong reasons. You want to go? Sigh..."

Holy Grail: "That's like a dream come true! I could wish for everyone's respect! What I've always deserved! Mostly, I could wish for the hand of the lovely Akane in marriage, huh huh! "
