Name: Rhydderch Hael

Class: Saber

Gender: Male

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Age: 76, looks 32

Personality: Rhydderch Hael is a calm, easygoing, though occasionally solemn man with a bright outlook on the world. Having been a King and Warlord many would expect him to be harsh, but he gave up some of that nature when he bent the knee to King Arthur, and lost even more in the ensuing years of peace. With other Servants he possesses a quiet kind of pride that is not easily provoked, and unlike many Knights takes a much looser approach to Chivalry. Having spent many years fighting uphill battles against the Saxons he freely uses tricks and feigns that would be more in place for an outlaw.

Looks: Rhydderch Hael is a bright, chipper man with short brown hair, slight of body but wide of face with an easy grin. He stands shorter than most knights at about 5' 8 and is somewhat lighter clad than most knights, boasting only partial plate, with simple steel gauntlets and cuirass over a chain hauberk and boiled leathers. His armor is belted about the waist with a green silver trimmed belt embroidered with yellow flowers. A small dagger hangs from the belt.
He possesses a crown which he rarely ever wears, a thin golden circlet set with tiny emeralds.

When armed he appears with a long sword in a black scabbard by his side, with a triangular oak shield strapped to his left arm. The coat of arms upon the shield is a blue Saltire (X) against a green background.

Talents: Swordsmanship, Riverboating, the Lyre.

Likes: Rivers, Hippocras, Freely giving away valuables.

Dislikes: Niggards, Saxons.

Strength: C

Endurance: C

Agility: C

Magic: C

Luck: B

Mana Pool:

Master Prana Pool * 45 = Saber Mana Pool.

History: Born the son of Tudwal Tudglud in the time of King Uther Pendragon the man who would become known as Rhydderch Hael the Generous was raised as a Knight in the Kingdom of Alt Cut of Old Strathclyde in what is now Southern Scotland. It was foretold at his birth that Rhydderch would die in bed, but because the threat from the Saxons was so great and no Lord of Strathclyde had died of natural causes in such a long time his father assume that he would either be assassinated in bed or perish of some illness.

Raised in a time when the Kingdom of Britain was fractured and beset with Saxons Rhydderch became a bold and cunning warrior. Ascending to the throne during a time of great upheaval and strife he lead his people against the Saxons of Bernicia again and again, foiling their advance with daring raids and fearless counterattacks and becoming great enemy's of their numerous Kings. As it happened though, even Rhydderch could not be in many places at once, and one year when he ventured forth to do battle to the Saxons, an war leader by the name of Aeddan Fradawg slipped around his battling army and came upon his undefended homeland. The Saxon lord laid waste to his city and countryside, terrorizing the people and carrying off huge quantitys of plunder. In a single week Alt Clut was put to the flame and reduced to ash, and when Rhydderch and his warriors returned home it was to a vision of desolation.

Emboldened by their success and seeing this chance to defeat him utterly, Aeddan and many other Saxon King including his own sworn enemy King Gwenddoleu gathered their forces together in a strong alliance and marched against the decimated Alt Cut.

It was during this time that Rhydderch's wife came to him. She was known as Gwenddydd, a sorceress and half sister to Merlin who protect him with her magics and guided him to a deep cave where he uncovered his namesake, the flaming sword Dyrnwyn. Just as fire had destroyed the nation of Alt Clut, she told him, now it was only with fire that it could be saved. Drawing the blade he was undaunted when its fire threatened to consume him and thus proved himself worthy of the fairy forged blade. Leading his men into battle with the Saxons he faced an army five times his own numbers, a horde of Saxons fat off the plunder of his lands while he and his men were weak and famished from the destruction of their homes and crops. Even so, Rhydderch drew his blazing sword and rallied his men once more, and when he strode into battle none could withstand him or his burning weapon. In the climatic battle of Arfderydd he slew the Saxon hero Gwenddoleu after which the Kings magician Myrddin Wyllt went mad from fear of his fire and fled into the forest where he lived like an animal for many years.

This decisive victory saved Alt Cut from certain destruction, and made Rhydderch into a Hero beloved by the people. Apart from this was also beneficial for the new King in Britain and seeing their common cause Rhydderch Hael presented himself to the boy King Arthur Pendragon, swearing fealty and allying himself to the Dragon, fighting in support of Arthur in the coming twelve battles of Brittan, and the subsequent counter invasions of the Saxons lands. In this time it became his custom to freely offer his flaming sword to anyone who asked for it, and hence earned the name Hael, meaning generous as he was acounted the third most generous man in all of Britain.

What followed after were many glorious years of peace that Alt Cut, nor Brittan itself had seen since the time of the Romans. Relishing the peace Rhydderch became a traveler and adventurer after repairing his Kingdom from its devastation. His daughter, born in the times of war grew to become the third most beautiful maiden in Britain during the age. With his lands and family prosperous and safe he became drunk on peace and the carefree life of a wealthy traveler and wandered Britain accompanying the Knights of the Round Table and various other adventurers and layabouts.

Because of this he is a strong supporter of King Arthur, one who, while having never personally known the King, saw the land flourish under his rule and grew to love him from a distance.

He died in peacetime in his late 70's having passed away from an illness. He never saw the downfall of King Arthur's court, nor learned of the adultery between Lancelot and Guinevere and as such his faith in the Round Table is unbroken.

His wish is to awaken Merlin from beneath the Hollow Hill, who will recall King Arthur and his court into the world once more and "Set all things to rights."
For him, he will always be a lesser King who's legend was overshadowed by the Knights of the Round table, a Hero of the age just before Camelot who is now revered only by the Welsh. Despite this, he has never hated them for it, but admired them as Hero's who tried to save all of Britain and France rather than stopping at their own lands.

As a Heroic Spirit Rhydderch suffers from low power because of the lack of fame he has accrued as a legend. Despite this however he possesses phenomenal swordsmanship skills which rival and even exceed those such as King Arthur. In addition to this as someone who survived to the age of 76 his personal experience in battle exceeds those of many younger heroes making him a master of the battlefield in both experience and natural ability. This makes him a canny fighter and a dangerous opponent despite his low strength, and when combined with his incinerating blade he is an enemy to be reckoned with.

Rhydderch possesses the potential to fill the Rider Class as his horse Rhudlwyd was the third finest horse in Britain during the time of Camelot.

Yup yup.

More importantly, I think the wording for his NP needs to be edited. All the info is there but it looks horrible for some reason. Bleg, I apologize for text diarrhea.

The Flame Blast for 140 prana which deals A+ rank damage, what kind of range is this? It sounds a bit cheap, though the rest seems reasonable. I'd say boost that up to 250 or 300.

Short range wide area, around the same as Invisible Air, meaning around 40 or so feet ahead of him with about a 20X20 area of effect.

Would 250 be alright?

Yeah, I wouldn't have given it as an option if it wasn't alright.

I'm fine with this, and I'll allow you to have the additional skill added to your list, since it's solely flavor, and has no real point. Just make a NP thread.

I was thinking that you would give me more flack with the whole, "other charterers can wield the sword" thing.

I would like to reserve the right to decide who can accept it if they are not a Servant. So if it get offered to a master and they have been a coward the whole time - no soup for you!
I mean - no sword for you!

Also I will need to create a conversion rate for masters so that it does not drain their prana dry in a single post should they win it and try to wield it.

I don't particularly mind if they wield it, I just figured they'd be unable to do much with it, since a normal magus wouldn't have enough prana to do nearly as much with it as a servant.

-edit-

If you put readjusted values for a master, they shouldn't be really low or anything. I guess I'll see how you try to do it when you make it, though.
