Rider (Fate/Crossover - Star Breaker)

**Rider** (ライダー, *Raidā*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

*"Because I am Star Breaker, the blasting fuse to the world's end."* - Star Breaker

## Profile

### Identity

Rider's true identity is **Star Breaker**, The ultimate weapon made to fight in a war whose purpose and name were forgotten by those fighting it. Ultimately, she fought and died in an attempt to destroy the world. However, before that, she was a girl like any other. Maybe that part of her can still be reached?

### Personality

As her name implies, Star Breaker's biggest joy is destruction. Her adorable looks are in stark contrast to her violent personality. Losing a battle deepens her insanity even more.

Star Breaker considers herself a weapon first and a person second. She has even forsaken her original name. That is hardly to say she is emotionless, however. She laughs and cries and gets mad like anyone else. If not given the opportunity to fight, she gets bored quickly.

## Abilities

Star Breaker controls fire. Her flame attacks raise the Heat of her enemies to critical levels and her searing lasers combined with devastating bombs cause very high damage. Her flames are even capable of reducing Sora's Hyper energy. After being defeated by Sora in their first encounter the maddened Star Breaker enters a massive war machine and intends to utterly destroy the planet Earth.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Riding (EX Rank): Can ride any variety of machine, or rather, forcibly fuses her body to them. Her excessively destructive nature makes it impossible for her to ride beasts, however, unless they possess a similar nature to herself.

Her favored mount is a large weapons battery she merged herself with in the final hours of her life. The resulting war machine was greater than the sum of its parts, a monstrosity that threatened the entire planet. Of course, as a Servant she is incapable of destroying the World, but it appears that one feat was enough to give her strong qualifications for the Rider class.

* Magic Resistance (D Rank): Rejects Single-Action spells, equal to an amulet that rejects magical energy. While not possessing any legends of defeating magic, the sheer power of Rider's mechanical body is enough to reject weak spells when paired with a Rider class container.

#### Personal Skills

* Synthetic Limbs (Eternal War) (A+ Rank): Rider's entire body has been remolded into a weapon. Gains bonus modifiers to combat checks. In the case of those cyborgs built for the eternal war, a few other traits like inbuilt weapons and flight are also granted. Rider was the single strongest of those cyborgs, created for the purpose of being an ultimate weapon. Rider embraced this purpose beyond what even her creators wanted.

* Mana Burst (Flame, False) (A Rank): Allows for the enhancement of attacks and weapons by infusing them with flames. However, this is not a property granted by inhuman ancestry, but rather via the modifications to her body. Due to this, it is less efficient than the original skill. Rider's flames, the one thing she found beautiful, consumed countless lives in every battle she fought.

Due to its power and inefficiency, the cost is high. In addition, Rider uses it without restraint. Barring an exceptional amount of power, the Master of Rider is likely to end up as just another life claimed by her.

* Eye of the Mind (False) (A Rank): Rider possessed more than just sheer power. Indeed, she was granted her power because of her natural talent for fighting. A heightened capacity for observation gained through innate talent, allowing her to avoid danger and avoid visual penalties.

In life, she was able to forsee the world's destruction at the hands of war. Given her own twisted nature, she saw nothing wrong with this, and indeed attempted to bring it about herself to fulfill her duty as a weapon.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Star Breaker - The Blasting Fuse of the World's End**

Born only to fight in the war, granted power only to fight in the war. That is Star Breaker.

Summons the weapons battery she merged with in life, and re-assumes her final form. Her Agility drops, but her Strength, Mana, and especially Endurance all rise dramatically. The power and size of her lasers grows enough for each to vaporize a small town, but with the limitations of a Servant she is incapable of truly destroying the planet. Even if she were to turn her own body into a Broken Phantasm, the blast would be incapable of such a feat, though it would definitely be a great cataclysm.

#### **One Left in the End: "The Hand of War"**

Rider - no, Star Breaker - cannot and did not accept a peaceful resolution to the war she was made for. Attacking both sides indiscriminately, the war became one of her against the planet. A frenzied last attempt to fulfill her purpose - and she'd gladly do it all again.

If the Holy Grail War proceeds as intended, with either 6 or 7 Servants slain and a wish granted, this Noble Phantasm will never activate. However, should the ritual be terminated, Rider re-enacts her final rampage. Essentially, grants her unlimited Mana with the sole condition that the Grail be destroyed before Rider is struck down. As a note, Rider will not destroy the Grail voluntarily, and will almost certainly prioritize whoever is behind its destruction.

If she is summoned for a purpose other than the Holy Grail War, this Noble Phantasm will not appear.
