Lancer (Fate/Crossover - Takanuva)

**Lancer** (ランサー, *Ransā*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Takanuva**, the prophesized seventh member of the Toa Mata/Nuva, and the only Toa of Light in the Matoran Universe.

Takanuva began life as **Takua**, the first Matoran created by the mysterious Great Beings. An Av-Matoran disguised as a Ta-Matoran who always felt the call of destiny to heroism, he lived the life of a wanderer and adventurer, serving as the Chronicler to the Toa throughout their adventures on the island of Mata Nui. After discovering and donning the Mask of Light, Takua realized his destiny as the Toa of Light, Takanuva.

### Personality

Takua was uniquely adventurous and curious, and greatly preferred traveling the island to everyday life in Ta-Metru or Ta-Koro; this led to him often being considered "irresponsible" by his Ta-Matoran compatriots. However, in reality, Takua was always eager to help anyone who needed it, and hoped to someday become a great hero. He was incredibly brave, and would not hesitate to face any threat to the lives of his friends, be it an army of infected Rahi attacking Kini-Nui or an entire swarm of Pahrak destroying Ga-Koro. Takua's personality remained unchanged as a Toa; though he was was initially uncomfortable with his new role and preferred the company of his Matoran friends, Takanuva studied and trained intensely under the mentorship of the Toa Nuva, and did not take his new duties as a Toa lightly.

When he was attacked and partially infected by a Shadow Leech, his personality was tainted by the darkness that infested his body. This culminated in his refusal to save the six followers of Makuta, even as the destruction of Karda Nui threatened to sweep them away; he even snidely commented that their wish to have a Toa without morals had succeeded, and that they could "choke on it". However, These effects, were reversed when he was cured of his condition and he returned to his original-self, albeit a bit wiser from the experience.

## Abilities

As the only Toa of Light in the Matoran Universe, Takanuva has near-perfect command over light energy. As such, at a basic level, he could create, control, and absorb light. Examples of this included creating illusions, firing laser beams, illuminating dark areas, and absorbing the light in an area to create darkness. Additionally, Takanuva could change the perceived color of their armor. Toa of Light posed a serious threat to all Makuta, and other wielders of Elemental Shadow. However, users of Shadow were just as much of a threat to them in turn.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Riding (B- Rank): Takanuva, even before becoming a Toa, was a capable rider, having rode Ussal Crabs during his time as the Chronicler. After becoming a Toa, he later built and rode his Ussanui hovercraft to confront Makuta Teridax. This skill would be A Rank if summoned as a Rider Servant.

* Magic Resistance (B+ Rank): Invalidates magic with three verses or less. Receives mostly no damage even against High-Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals. Depending on the situation, even High-Thaumaturgy would be completely invalidated.

#### Personal Skills

* Mana Burst (Light) (A Rank): While Takanuva is not a Saint or a Holy Knight in the same sense as Charlemagne or any of his Paladins, his very nature as a Toa of Light still allows him utilize this skill.

* Toa of Light (A+ Rank): Embodies Takanuva's nature as the only Toa to wield the element of Light in the Matoran Universe. As such, it is of higher rank than that of his fellow Toa.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Kanohi Avohkii**

The Great Mask of Light. Created on the island of Artakha as a countermeasure against the Brotherhood of Makuta in the event that they ever betrayed their duty, this mask grants the wearer Toa-level power over Elemental Light. It also gives them the power to sense the moral light in others and bring understanding to their hearts. Despite the fact that it was one of the few elemental Kanohi, it did not boost any pre-existing Elemental Light powers the user might have.

#### **Nova Blast**

An immensely powerful attack that gathers and expels all the Toa's energy at once in a blast powerful enough to destroy the island city of Metru Nui. However, it requires an exorbitant amount of mana to use and leaves the user temporarily unable to use their elemental powers, requiring a few days to fully recharge.
