Assassin (Fate/Mythos - Toki)

*"Objective complete."* - Toki.

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

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Toki**, the youngest member of the Messiah Nanashi's group. A former member, she was trained by the Ring of Gaea. Stoic in nature, she allies with Nanashi and the others in order to eliminate Flynn and Maitreya, but the more time she spends with them the more cracks in her armor start to form. This culminates in her betraying the Ring of Gaia, and joining Nanashi and his group.

She was also once the host of the mother goddess Inanna which twists her mind until her new friends were able to free her as Nozomi, the host of Danu, absorbs the remains of the defeated goddess. With this, she falls in love with Nanashi, and is not afraid to show it. She is one of Nanashi's friends that represents the Chaos alignment, though a more restrained and morally better variation of it.

A quiet battle partner, Toki avoids expressing herself as a matter of practicality. Outbursts of emotion, after all, draw the attention of demons and can get oneself killed. Precise to a fault, she makes short work of her enemies - demons and otherwise - with her twin nata, although should the need arise, anything handy will do. She prefers wearing her target down with a barrage of piercing attacks before executing the coup de grace, and in her journey, her skills will surely be needed.

#### History

She is first encountered by Nanashi when he meets with the current leaders of the Ring of Gaea, Mii and Kei, in order to infiltrate Tsukiji Konganji. Toki would show them the way into the temple, though she states that her task is to assassinate two individuals, those being Flynn and Maitreya, the reason being that Kei and Mii cannot forgive Flynn for killing Yuriko. Upon finding Flynn, she tries to assassinate him on the spot, but her attempt is stopped by Isabeau, who declared she would not allow her to kill Flynn. Toki tries to eliminate them in order to get at Flynn, but she is easily defeated and repelled back the party. Maitreya appears and knocks her away, knocking off her mask in the process.

After Krishna reveals that Nanashi and Asahi were the ones who unsealed him, and that Nanashi was in fact nothing but a corpse revived by the demon called Dagda, Toki aids them in their escape, but not before declaring that she will settle the score with them. She once again appears when the party learns how to eliminate the Tokugawa Mandala erected by the Polytheistic Alliance (also known as the Divine Powers), as it is preventing them from summoning demons. Due to the effects of the Aether emitted by the jars gathering the fuel for the Mandala, a person's mental state will be left horribly scarred unless they are strong enough to resist it's affects. Toki, having been raised to live a life without emotions, opts to seal the jars, despite everyone's obvious distrust towards her. However, they agree to let her help.

As they seal the jars, Toki is visibly being affected, ranging from different emotions: she felt that the whole situation was completely unfair and that she was angry at everything, an overwhelming sense of hunger for sweets, a desire to simply do nothing, overcome by a sense of arousal, or even ranting that no one was recognizing her for her loyalty and dedication, though she overcomes these urges quickly. As she seals the final jar, she is attacked by Maitreya, though the party quickly defeats him. They also encounter a fragment of Inanna, the Mother of All, who demands that Danu return the power she has back to her. The party manages to weaken her, and she attempts to try and possess Toki, though Gaston saves her and destroys the fragment.

After awakening, she thanks Gaston, much to the surprise of everyone, though she says it's natural that she thank someone. With her task now complete, she returns to the Ring of Gaea, though she strangely shows infatuation around Nanashi, even becoming flustered as she bids him farewell. She crosses paths with the party again after they have successfully retrieved Flynn from the Polytheistic Alliance after having defeated Krishna, defecting from the Ring of Gaea, as they are attempting to kill Flynn for having killed their original leader. Toki mocks them by saying that the Ring of Gaea believed that power was what mattered, and that they were trying to cling to an old state of order rather than welcome the new order that would be brought about. Kei and Mii call her expendable, and attempt to kill her along with Nanashi's party, though they defeat them, and take their leave.

Much to Asahi's annoyance, Toki has begun to show affectionate feelings for Nanashi, referring to him as "Master". She even tries to confess her love to him at some point, but is interrupted by Asahi, who is vehemently against her.

After Asahi is devoured by Shesha, and the Cosmic Egg is formed, it is revealed that Toki had been possessed by the fragment of Inanna, due to her exposure to the Aether. As a result, her mind becomes warped, becoming obsessed with Nanashi and proclaiming her love for him, even trying to bare his "child" at Krishna's suggestion, though in reality, he is simply reviving Maitreya as Mitra-Buddha. When the party fights Inanna, Toki manages to assert control for a time, and confesses that she had wanted to be by Nanashi's side, trying to fill the void in his heart, but is frustrated that he is still waiting for Asahi. She tells him that she loves him, over and over, until asking him to save her.

After Inanna's defeat, Danu absorbs the remnants of her power, thus freeing Toki from her control. Her being possessed by Inanna apparently had altered her feelings on Nanashi in a rather embarrassing manner, as she does not recall her ever calling him "Master." Eventually, however, she admits that she feels drawn to Nanashi, and asks him if she could call him "Master" in private.

Along with others, Toki would then aid Nanashi to defeat Dagda and stop his goals of creating a new universe by hijacking Krishna's plans, later going on to help him defeat YHVH. After the battle, she and the group part ways for the time being, saying that she is going to continue her training, stating that they might meet as enemies again, though she suggests something else when she looks at Nanashi, much to Asahi's chagrin.

### Appearance

Toki is a young teen girl with red eyes that usually wears a black Oni mask with messy lavender hair attach to it to conceal her face. She wears all black bodysuit with transparent dark purple poncho. Losing her mask reveals that she has long black hair and has very pale complexion.

### Personality

She doesn't speak much because she's been taught not to show her emotions out loud. It is revealed that her parents were devoted to the Ring of Gaea, and gave her up to have her trained. Since then, she has rarely expressed any emotion, separating them from the tasks at hand. After their second meeting, she starts to develop feelings for Nanashi, and is not afraid to show it.

Toki's devotion and mind of steel warped by her temporary possession from the goddess Innana.

### Relationships

#### Her Master

Like other Assassin-class Servants, Toki is dutiful to her master but due to her warped mentality and upbringing in the Ring of Gaea, she has a special criteria for her master's capabilities which could prove disastrous if not upheld. If Toki's Master is considered "strong" by her standards, she will obey them beyond reason, but should they fail to meet those criteria and she meet someone capable in fulfilling them, she will very likely betray her former master without hesitation to serve that person.

## Abilities

### Notable Skills and Techniques

Similar to the Ex-Samurai Gaston, Toki is mostly known for her instant death attacks from her weapons' pierce property. Most of her attacks only target a single enemy, and her skills do not affect her allies. In the depths of areas where enemies prove difficult to defeat due to massive health reserves, her instant kill attacks can prove drastically useful in shortening battles or even immediately taking out one or two waves of hordes.

However, because she is rarely targeted by enemies, her allies will have to pay the price by getting attacked the most. She is not so good when handling stronger beings since she doesn't have any passive attack-driven abilities that can increase her power, although she will still actively use her Sneak Attack.

### Notable Skills and Techniques

* **Presence Concealment** (B+ Rank): As an Assassin-class servant, Toki is able to hide her presence and so becomes difficult to be detected. This is suitable for both spying and doing sneak attacks. However, the efficiency will decrease once Toki prepares to attack.
* **Independent Action** (B Rank): Due to her nature, Toki is capable of acting at her own discretion by pure will alone.
* **Divinity** (C- Rank): As the girl who once hosted Inanna, she possesses the Divinity Skill even if the rank is low.
* **Disengage** (B Rank): Toki has the ability to withdraw in the midst of combat. This causes the battle conditions resets to the initial value, both returning battle conditions to what they were at the beginning of the match and releasing some of the bad status ailments inflicted on Toki.
* **Mental Pollution** (C+ Rank): This skill makes it possible for Toki to shut out any mental interference due to possessing a distorted mentality. However, at the same time, it usually becomes impossible to come to an understanding with individuals that do not possess an equivalent rank of Mental Pollution, though Toki has many exceptions to that.
* **Host of Inanna** (B+ Rank): As the Host of Inanna, she gets the capability to use a lesser version of her domains, specifically those of love and motherhood. With the latter, she is able to "birth" lesser divine spirits through some effort. If desired, she can use the full power of Inanna but it requires her to relinquish control of her body to Inanna which would result in the actual deity returning to "life", causing either Toki to die or simply be unable to return to her original body unless Inanna returns it back.
* **Assassin of Gaea** (C+ Rank):
* **Passionate Assassin** (B Rank):

### Other Skills

* **Sneak Attack**: Before or after all current attacks have been used, Toki can swiftly make a physical attack that pierces all resistance and may instantly kill if not countered.
* **Gloom Haze**: This skill allows Toki to summon darkness to blind her enemies.
* **Death to the Tyrant**:
