Ruler (Fate/Apocrypha)

==Summary==
Ruler is the Ruler-class Servant that appears during the Great Holy Grail War, having been summoned into the body of an ordinary French girl, Laeticia. She is also one of many Servants able to be summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru to resolve the events of the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand/Order, appearing within the Orléans singularity to confront her Altered self.
Her true name is Jeanne d'Arc, a Catholic saint and famous hero of France who liberated Orléans and was guided by the voice of her God. She fearlessly threw her life away in the name of France and her people, but was captured and burnt at the stake at only 19 years of age.

Gender: Female
Classification: Heroic Spirit, Ruler-class Servant
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery, Precognition, Minor Mind Manipulation and Social Influencing with Charisma, Limited Information Analysis with True Name Discernment (It allows her to discern a Servant's true name and entire status information will be automatically revealed. However, this only works on Servants during Holy Grail Wars), can exorcise spiritual beings on a conceptual level with Baptism Sacraments, Summoning (Of Wyverns), Air Manipulation, Vibration Manipulation and Forcefield Creation with Luminosité Eternelle, Conceptual Manipulation, Fire Manipulation and Existence Erasure with La Pucelle (A Conceptual Weapon that summons the flames that burnt Jeanne d'Arc on the stake and uses them to annihilate all existence with incalculable destructive power), and Servant Physiology | Same as before, plus Energy Projection and Light Manipulation.
Attack Potency: Large Island level+ (Ruler-class Servants need the strength to fight against most Servants, and Ruler is strong enough to render Jack the Ripper incapable of fighting with a single strike and can block blows from Spartacus), Unknown with La Pucelle (An EX-rank Noble Phantasm and a Conceptual Weapon that can "annihilate anything in existence" as long as Jeanne believes it can with "pure destructive power that cannot be calculated") | Low Complex Multiverse level, possibly Complex Multiverse level (Is a Top Servant, which puts her in the same league as Servants like Saber and Gilgamesh. Defeated Karna and Tamamo-No-Mae; the latter used her Moon Crux form in their fight), higher with La Pucelle (Should be superior to her Base Attack Potency)
Speed: Relativistic+ with FTL reactions and combat speed (Possesses an A-Rank agility stat and thus should be comparable if not superior to Musashi. Kept up with other servants in the Great Holy Grail war like Atalanta , Jack and Spartacus) | Massively FTL+ with Immeasurable reactions and combat speed (Kept up with Moon Crux Tamamo)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Comparable to Martha who stopped a speeding train, Achilles who stopped a rolling 300 ton jumbo jet, and Asterios who swam carrying the 100-150 ton Golden Hind galleon ship while injured. Could turn a Boeing 747 upside down with her hand) | Immeasurable (Should be comparable to other Top Servants, who are comparable to Kiara Sessyoin)
Striking Strength: Large Island level+ | Low Complex Multiverse level, possibly Complex Multiverse level (Could damage Tamamo-No-Mae in her Moon Crux form)
Durability: Large Island level+, Small Country level with Luminosité Eternelle‎ (Tanked Spartacus's self-destruction, which annihilated half of the Yggdmillenium fortress as well as the surrounding countryside. Blocked Fafnir's fire breath with high difficulty while she was very weakened, albeit with the help of Shielder's Lord Chaldeas) | Low Complex Multiverse level, possibly Complex Multiverse level (Survived and remained standing after getting blind sided by Gilgamesh, and could take hits from Tamamo-No-Mae's Moon Crux form), higher with Luminosité Eternelle (Should be superior to her Base Durability)
Stamina: High (Servants can fight for an entire day without tiring and continue fighting for as long as they have sufficient mana)
Range: Extended Melee Range
Standard Equipment: Her flag, Luminosité Eternelle, the Sword of Saint Catherine, and Command Spells.
Intelligence: Gifted (Ruler is a Saint that kept making miracles. Among the miracles she has performed are being able to go toe-to-toe with a first-class theologian -despite not having an ounce of proper education (which explains her inability to read, write and do math) and her only knowing a few prayers and the Bible-, and quickly turning the tides in the Siege of Orleans and the 100 Year War as a result of her support and battle strategies despite not having much military experience. She is also competent at using her standard as a weapon.)
Weaknesses: Ruler is somewhat naive, trusting, and will not absorb the souls of others under normal circumstances. Her stubbornness and boldness also tends to put her life at risk. Her Magic Resistance is tailored towards protecting her from assault, diverting magical attacks as opposed to negating them, putting her allies at risk, and is less effective against illusions and the Sacraments of the Church. When summoned into the body of Laeticia, she still needs to eat, sleep, and drink, and cannot enter into spirit form. Luminosité Eternelle‎'s ability to absorb damage is limited, as the flag itself takes damage the more it absorbs, and Ruler must stand her ground and remain in place while using it. Using La Pucelle's true power will end her life as a side-effect, and she cannot activate it against simply a strong opponent or out of strong emotions: the flames exist to save something, and they can only be used to save said something from a threat that must be destroyed. She is unskilled with the Sword of St. Catherine.

Luminosité Eternelle: God is Here With Me: The battle standard wielded by Jeanne d'Arc, a holy flag of battle that she kept at her side throughout her entire life and wields as her primary weapon. In battle, this flag inspired and uplifted the soldiers who fought beside her with the conviction that a saint fought at their side, and was said to protect her as she ran ahead at the vanguard. Crystallizing the legend of this flag protecting her as she fought on the front lines, Jeanne can activate it by planting it into the ground and tightly grasping it. This converts her exceptional EX-rank Magic Resistance into an angelic protection, a forcefield of shining light that cuts off Jeanne and her nearby allies from the rest of the world, protecting them from both physical and magical attack. The damage prevented by the flag is accumulated over time, causing it to undergo significant wear and tear as she shields herself from attack again and again.

La Pucelle: The Crimson Saint: A suicide attack of a Noble Phantasm that exists through Jeanne's holy sword, the Sword of Saint Catherine, which she never swung even once throughout her lifetime. A Conceptual Weapon embodying the offensive application of Jeanne's death when she was burnt at the stake, it is a subtype of a Reality Marble, an inner world, crystallized in the shape of a sword. With its incantation, La Pucelle's true destructive power is summoned as it calls upon the fires that burnt Jeanne to death, executing an EX-rank attack of incalculable power that can annihilate anything in existence when used to save something. In exchange for this immense power, Jeanne loses her life after its use.
=== Class Skills ===
God's Resolution: One of the skills of the Ruler class, granting her two Command Spells to issue commands to each Servant participating in the current Grail War. These commands can be used to forcibly order a Servant to perform a specific action, but sufficient Magic Resistance and strength can allow one to resist its effects to an extent. Alternatively, a Command Spell can be used to strengthen a Servant if they and Ruler are in agreement on their next objective. These Command Spells will also fail if the Servant becomes something that is sufficiently different from their original summoning, such as Vlad III's transformation into the Nameless Vampire after being forcibly merged with Darnic's soul.
Magic Resistance: An ability that provides protection against magecraft, nullifying the effects oncoming magical attacks outright rather than simply resisting them. Ruler's unwavering piety has granted her an unmatched rank of EX, allowing her to withstand spells from the Age of Gods that could annihilate the bodies of Servants and entire cities completely unscathed. However, Ruler's version of Magic Resistance only diverts magic rather than eliminating the spell itself. As such, in the face of a wide-scale magical bombardment, only Ruler will survive. In addition, due to its ties to the Christian God, the Church's Sacraments will bypass Ruler's Magic Resistance, and powerful illusionary Noble Phantasms like Shakespeare's First Folio will still be effective against her.
True Name Discernment: The privilege granted to Ruler as the administrator of the Great Holy Grail War, it allows her to instantly discern the identities of Servants and others before her for as long as they are sufficiently well-known and powerful enough to enter the Throne of Heroes. As such, she learns their True Name, their abilities, personality, and skills, as well as their position at any given time. However, this ability fails against those who have been recorded in history as "nameless", such as EMIYA, and will require a luck check against those with concealment abilities.
=== Personal Skills ===
Charisma: The ability to command others and lead them into battle, boosting their morale and combat performance in the process. Due to the famous images of Jeanne d'Arc leading the French forces into the battlefield with her battle standard in hand, Ruler possesses a C-rank in this skill, allowing her to easily convince others that her Revelations are true without needing any evidence.
Revelation: Being able to hear the voice of the Heavens, which guides the user to make the optimal choice in pursuit of any goals.
Saint: The status of those who have been acknowledged as saints by the Church, which grants Ruler one of a number of potential boons whenever she is summoned, either boosting the effects of her sacraments, granting her automatic health recovery, boosted Charisma, or the ability to create a Holy Shroud, such as the Shroud of Turin used by Shirou Emiya to seal Archer's arm.
