Archer (Foreign Shielder - Desslok)

**Archer** (アーチャー, *Āchā*) is an Archer-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the One Piece multi-series crossover fanfiction, Foreign Shielder, also acting as a main protagonist.

## Profile

### Background

Archer's True Name is Leader Dessler, but is more widely known as Lord Desslok. In an alternate dimension he was the almighty ruler of an intergalactic empire, and is usually summoned as Assassin because of his massacre of the human race, along with many others.

Unfortunately, seeing as he was summoned alongside Rider-class Servant Susumu Kodai, his more compassionate and dedicated side has been questioned constantly, not because of himself but because of others berating him.

### Appearance

Desslok is a tall male whose body makeup is identical to that of an ordinary human, except his skin is a deep blue. He has short blond hair, sharp facial features and is relatively muscular. By default, Desslok wears a mild grey uniform with a bright high collar with two gold long pins on each. He wears a wide black belt with a gold buckle and low-heel knee-high black boots. Alongside his white gloves, Desslok also wears a black cloak with red insides, loosely pinned onto the left shoulder.

### Personality

Desslok is an arrogant, charismatic, nihilistic and flamboyant male, but is still a highly capable tactician and strategist, careful not to waste time nor resources when approaching a dire situation. He has, however, also shown himself to be capable of fierce loyalty, devotion, and support. He is also not an insubordinate Servant, understanding the situation. Though he will voice his annoyance if Ritsuka does something ridiculous or incompetent, he will likely follow it up with advice on how to fix the created problem.

#### Relationships

**Ritsuka Fujimaru**
As a Servant, Desslok is well aware of his disposition and role. He is to serve Ritsuka Fujimaru, his Master, but was quick to establish an equal relationship, stating: "I will remain your loyal Servant. However, I expect to be treated with respect. I will protect you, so you must protect me with whatever support you can provide." He was pleasantly surprised when Ritsuka accepted his terms with no resistance, the female human simply saying: "That's fine."
Desslok refers to Ritsuka as "Master" or "Ritsuka," depending on the given circumstances, while Ritsuka initially referred to Desslok as "Mister Dess" (デスさん, *desu-san*) but has since changed to merely "Dess," something he doesn't seem to mind in the slightest. It should be noted here that Desslok refers to everyone else as their epithets or titles, the only other exception present being Assassin. Desslok seems to be one of Ritsuka's closest acquaintances with a steadfast subordinate-and-leader bond. Desslok has also trusted Ritsuka with some of his emotional quarrels, and vice versa. Desslok also developed romantic feelings for Ritsuka over time, eventually entering an unofficial relationship.
**Rider**
Unfortunately the version of Rider that was summoned by Ritsuka is the one before the two became allies in life. As a result, Desslok and Rider's relationship is rather shaky and unstable. While Desslok has displayed no ill will toward Rider, telling him: "This planet doesn't even exist in our native universe. There is no Earth to restore. This *is* the new Earth, and I have no reason to destroy it," Rider has remained tense: "How do I know you're telling the truth?" Thanks to Ritsuka Rider's anger toward Desslok has been reduced to sharp words and glances, but they have fought before.
**Assassin**
Assassin and Desslok have an odd semblance of a friendship. There is a strong mutual respect for the other's mental prowess and wit. Desslok didn't know how to play Japanese mahjong when they met, a clear disappointment to Assassin who would love to play a match with him, but Desslok began to pick it up very quickly upon dedicating time to learning. One of their shared favorite pastimes has become playing Japanese mahjong with each other and whoever is available.

## Abilities

**Dessler Cannon** is Desslok's strongest technique, capable of destroying entire moderately sized countries. However it is, naturally, very costly to mana supply, especially to Desslok's Master. Desslok's Noble Phantasm is his cosmo rifle lovingly named **Executioner** (刑吏, *keiri*). It is multitudes more powerful than it was when he was alive and is capable of melting most metals if shot enough times.

Physically, Desslok is extremely powerful. Without using any magecraft or magic, he can beat Zoro in an arm wrestling match without a concerning amount of effort. He is also capable of advanced Busoshoku Haki, meaning he can enhance his natural strength even further. He can also use standard Kenbunshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki, possessing the power of a king.
