Assassin (Fate/Crossover - Akame)

**Assassin** (アサシン, *Asashin*) is the servant of Shugo Nanaya in the Shinjuku Holy Grail War.

"*As the survivors, we carry the feelings of those who've passed away on our shoulders.*" - Akame

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Akame**, an infamous member of Night Raid, the assassination team of the Revolutionary Army. Her use of the Teigu Murasame, a weapon able to kill any living being with a single cut, has earned her the epithet "Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame" among her foes. Once an orphan trained to carry out the Empire's dirty work, she now seeks to undermine the corrupt kingdom she helped build with her nearly unrivaled skill with a blade.

### Appearance

Akame is a young girl with long black hair that reaches down to her knees and red eyes. She wears a dark sleeveless tank top with a white collar and a red tie; she wears a red belt that has a red side skirt cover over a black, pleated skirt. She wears it with long black socks and black shoes. She also wears red gauntlets and black gloves. She sometimes wears a long dark coat in battle. She is often seen carrying her Teigu, Murasame. After activating Murasame's trump card, she has faded red scars all over her body.

Her casual outfit that was given to her are a black leather jacket covering shirt and tie with a brown skirt. She also weres dark brown shoes and a belt covered by her shirt.

### Personality

Akame appears to be a very serious and coldhearted person which stems from her hellish training that the Empire forced her and her sister through, but it is eventually revealed that she is just socially awkward. She cares about her comrades very much and she is always worried that one of them may not make it out alive due to her first-hand experience that war always has a high mortality rate. After Tatsumi fought Ogre, she stripped him of his clothes to check his body for wounds and Akame rushes to Mt. Kageboshi to aid Hinata who was about to be killed by Yomihime.

She also tends to hide her emotions when it is revealed that a comrade dies, such as seen with Sheele, making Tatsumi mistakenly and incorrectly assume that she deals with it easily, because she is used to it. However, this prompts her to break into tears saying that she can never be fine when she loses a friend, for it is the most horrible thing of which anyone can experience. She is then comforted by a sorry Tatsumi who resolves to not die and never let her experience such pain again, making her smile.

Upon facing her enemies, however, she shows absolutely no mercy towards them shouting words such as "eliminate" and "consign" to show the lack of mercy she has and also to strengthen her resolve to kill them. After donning Murasame's curse, she barely said such words.

Akame loves to eat and is surprisingly known to be a big eater (she usually prefers meat from danger beasts and fish), much like her sister Kurome. She is passionate about food to the point that Sheele noted how the "usually cool" Akame turned mad when she had burned some meat. Additionally, she is usually in charge of cooking the base's meals.

Akame is a person that refuses to take command and refuses promotion unless she was mandated to do so. She takes command of Elite Seven temporarily when Najasho is absent and she takes command of Night Raid's operations when Najenda is away to Revolutionary's Headquarters because she was mandated to takes charge to do so. During her Campaign at Soukai, she refuses promotion to Captain and Ninja by Maruge since she can move freely as a Foot Soldier under Hinata's Command after Battle of Shiranui Fortress. This preference to taking orders over giving them suites her position as Shugo's Servant just fine.

### Relationships

#### **Shugo Nanaya**

After becoming his Servant in the Holy Grail War, Akame mostly acted aloof and coldly to Shugo, focusing only on their mission. But as time goes on, she eventually warms up to him as he reminds her of Tatsumi, as she's willing to have his saftey on her top priority. They both care for each other as Shugo treats her more like a friend than just a servant, even when Akame tries to protect him from harm as he tries to recklessly get them out some dangerous situation their in. She's suprised to see him awaken to his own power and was willing to help train in order to get stronger. She also cooks meals for him, and wishes to try out new foods created during their time in the war.

#### **Leone**

One of Akame's friends from Night Raid, Leone even considers Akame to be her best friend. However their relationship is sometimes used for comical effect, as seen when Leone punches her when she comments on the difference in their weight. Leone tells Akame that she is her best friend shortly before parting ways, whereas she dies afterwards.

#### **Esdeath**

The strongest warrior of the very Empire she opposed in life, Esdeath was without any doubt the most dangerous enemy she had ever faced, in terms of both sheer power and depravity.

## Abilities

Akame is often considered to be one of the strongest members of Night Raid, slaying even the strongest of enemies with minimal effort. Her hellish assassination training allows her combat prowess to be on par with those as powerful as the General rank within the military levels of the Empire, Esdeath herself acknowledging her strength. Akame is an extremely skilled master swordswoman, able to wield her Teigu Murasame with utmost dexterity and precision, able to slay numerous enemies, even highly skilled and powerful enemies with incredible ease. She easily slayed Izou a fellow master swordsman in combat and would have killed Tatsumi, if not for the statue his chief villager gave him before embarking on his journey. At her full strength, Akame managed to hold her own against Esdeath, a tremendously powerful master swordswoman and ultimately killed her with a single precise thrust, plunging Murasame's shattered blade directly into Esdeath's heart. Akame possesses tremendous speed, agility and reflexes, being able to dodge and counter-attack with deadly results, and is also skilled in hand to hand combat. She also gives off no killing intent at all when she fights, making it difficult for the enemy to sense her presence. According to Wave, she can run at Mach 1 (velocity of sound in the airflow which is approximately 340 meters per second). Like the other members of the Elite Seven, she is immune to most poisons.

After being affected by Murasame's curse, her body feels heavy and she is no longer able to move like she once did. Despite she was afflicted by the curse, she can keep up with Hinata and Saiha to stop Waniba's men from delaying Hisame during groom selection at Soukai underwater and dueling Yomihime twice at Shiranui Fortress and Mt. Kageboshi.

Akame's own strength gives her the power of being completely skilled in combat. Her punches and kicks are extremely powerful and are enough to take down and slay numerous enemies, even highly skilled and powerful enemies with incredible ease.

Akame carried the Teigu, One-Cut Killer: Murasame, a katana known for being coated in an immensely deadly poison that could kill those cut by it within seconds, as the poison itself had no antidote. The Teigu's trump card, the ability to strengthen its user with the power of its poisonous curse for a short amount of time, was revealed during the final battles against the empire. It is revealed near the end of the manga that Murasame's poison could only target one life at a time; using this to her advantage, she killed Tyrant without hurting Tatsumi.

After Murasame is destroyed, Akame used The Complete Book of the World: Rongo Rongo when she traveled East. She later lost it in a storm at sea when her ship was ambushed by a Sea Danger Beast.

She was once equipped with the katana-based Shingu, Kiriichimonji before gaining her Teigu. It has the ability to create permanent wounds which cannot be healed or closed. Akame made use of this Shingu during the majority of her missions while working with the Empire, during which she managed to kill several powerful opponents using the Shingu, having successfully dispatched members and the leaders of the Sabatini Show, The Oarburgh Clan, The Gravekeepers, The Revolutionary Army and the Retribution Group before eventually losing it during her defection after successfully defeating her mentor and father figure, Gozuki.

Akame gains a new Meihou sword after she and Elder's Class hunt down Danger Beast on the shore after her first weapon is broken when fighting Yomihime during a battle at Mt. Kageboshi. She earns Meihou as a reward of saving Elder's Class from annihilation as the production cost will be covered by the Elder.

This weapon later proved to be much more durable than her previous sword during her battle against Yomihime, but unlike her previous weapons of choice, this particular Meihou possess no special abilities or features.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Presence Concealment (A Rank): While Akame is an Assassin, she loses the function of her Presence Concealment due to her Personal Skill, Suppression.

* Independant Action (B Rank): Akame has this ability due to her being able to conduct a few tasks herself during her missions, as well as went on her own to save Tatsumi from a beast. She has capable survival instincts when she is by herself.

#### Personal Skills

* Swordsmanship (B Rank): Akame is an extremely skilled master swordswoman, able to wield her Teigu Murasame with utmost dexterity and precision, able to slay numerous enemies, even highly skilled and powerful enemies with incredible ease. She easily slayed Izou a fellow master swordsman in combat and would have killed Tatsumi, if not for the statue his chief villager gave him before embarking on his journey. At her full strength, Akame managed to hold her own against Esdeath, a tremendously powerful master swordswoman and ultimately killed her with single precise thrust, plunging Murasame's shattered blade to stabbed directly into Esdeath's heart.

* Suppression (A+ Rank): Akame is capable of hiding her presence and atop of that, completely mask her intention to kill, harm or maim.

Aside from that, she is also able to suppress fear, which gives her an ability akin to Bravery, with this she can even go against that kind of Mental-Interference. This stems from her wielding a blade that if not handled carefully could kill her without problem, with this fact she also build her own unique way of martial arts, one where the probability of her skin hitting the blade of Murasame becomes almost completely impossible.

This Skill replaces the Class Skill of Presence Concealment.

* Eye of the Mind (True) (B Rank): This danger-avoidance ability allows her to read enemy’s strength and predicament and deduces any options to avoid any danger. This is thanks to her training due to her time in the Empire.

* Poison Resistance (C+ Rank): During her time with the Elite Seven, Akame has developed an immunity to most poisons, this makes her somewhat able to resist the poisons of Servants, but at some circumstances overexposure and such may prove to be fatal.

* Night Raid's Strongest (EX Rank): This is a compiling Skill denoting Akame as being called the strongest assassin in Night Raid.

As through her hellish training and life has Akame developed a sense of calmth, to analyze situations and not act solely on what she sees, hears and feels. This has made her able to act on pure analyzation of the battlefield, as seen with her being affected by Zanku's Teigu, yet quickly adapting to it and finishing him off.

However, Akame is also someone who can bite through blood, able to fight even with normall near-fatal wounds. When Little War Horn is activated, Akame temporarily is given a more powerful version of this, as her body is strained heavily and it truly takes a lot of power to bite through such heavy strain, especially when the curse's effect goes in full reign over her body.

Furthermore, through her experience with fighting great beasts, Akame has attained a quite high Rank of Giant Beast Hunting, stemming from her being the one who hunts for Danger Beasts to eat.

Last, but not least, through the same hellish life and training, Akame has attained heightened senses, she has refined her capacity to observe,   hear, feel and such. Through all her experience she has become able to avoid danger within last-seconds even. She has gotten to a point where she can even slightly predict the other's moves. (Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament)

Adds the effects of Eye of the Mind (True) B, Battle Continuation D, Giant Beast Hunting B, Calm and Collected B.

* Mystic Eye (Crimson Fatal) (C Rank): Akame's Mystic Eye ability that can add efffective to where she can cut the wounds to where they can not recover, guaranteed or not when the target is marked for death.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **One Slice Kill: Demon Blade Murasame**

A long bladed katana with a blade that can kill a person with only one cut. Once the sword pierces skin, a poison spreads into the victim, killing them within seconds. Akame states that cleaning this weapon is very dangerous because of this ability. However, this ability only works on living, organic beings that have a heart, rendering it ineffective against Armor and Biological-type Teigu as well as machines and Yatsufusa's corpse dolls.

This sword's blade is coated with a dangerous and extremely lethal poison, one that even Akame who has immunity to most poisons, could not survive if accidentally scratching herself.

By spreading the cursed poison through the body, the curse stops the target's heart, instantly killing them for good. In multiple ways can it be lowered in effectiveness. Esdeath displayed that cutting off the place where the poison begins spreading, would be one of the best choices for most, however, it rapidly spreads and took Esdeath using her Trump Card to save herself.

Another way is having either a high enough Magic Resistance or Mana Rank to ease the effect and spreading process, earning some extra minutes for one. Which will however not prove useful for more than at least perhaps taking Akame's life. As the curse if spread enough will be irreversible, with certain circumstances of some characters being different.

Another way is that Akame's Murasame can not even hurt you, as it does not work against non-living organic beings, such as armour and creatures without heart.

Another flaw of the blade, being if there are two souls in one body, only one soul can be killed at a time. Akame used this to her advantage to slay the Tyrant, liberating Tatsumi of the beasts' possession.

Due to the circumstances of how it was broken by Esdeath, Murasame has attained a weakness to ice-based weaponry. To a point where even a Magus far weaker than her could pose a threat to her weapon if not careful enough. Something she always is, so those chances are still low enough.

#### **Trump Card: Ennoodzuno**

Murasame has a true Trump Card however, but it is an extremely double-edged blade that deals more damage to oneself than the enemy.

Ennoodzuno is the titled performance enhancing ability that Akame can attain with Murasame, strengthening her with the powerful curse of the poison.

When the Trump Card is activated, the user's scleras turn black-red. Red markings appearing all over Akame's body, signalling the spreading of the poison.

During the performance-enhancer, Akame's physical Ranks are boosted up, Strength to A, Endurance to B and Agility to A+. This lasts for a small amount of time, giving enough power for Akame to push on her last battle and perhaps be victorious.

However as stated, that would be her last battle as in the end the performance enhancer will stop boosting and act as a weakness, making her body really heavy and thus lowering her physical Parameters back to what they were and beyond that.

With the usage of herbs and Healing Magecraft can the curse be eased for limited time.
