Fate EMIYA Archer
EMIYA Archer - Fate
Backstory
In the timeline that turned Shirou Emiya into EMIYA, he made a contract with the World (Alaya) and became the Heroic Spirit EMIYA. As payment he served as a Counter Guardian. He still hoped to be a Hero of Justice which is why he chose to make the contract, but he grew upset when he realized he still wouldn’t have the abilities to do so. He died from a betrayal of his allies. He is further upset that his saving of humans is done through killing other ones. This made his turn on his idea of becoming a Hero of Justice. He was so upset and determined to undo the mess that he wanted to be summoned back into the timeline of himself before he made the contract so he could kill himself then and free himself of ever becoming a Counter Guardian.
How is he connected to Shirou Emiya?
EMIYA is Shirou Emiya from an alternative timeline of Fate/stay night.
Personality
EMIYA’s personality is complex because of his personality and what he has been through, especially as a Counter Guardian. He thought being a Counter Guardian would mean who could save as many people as possible, and while that is true in a way, he had to go about it by killing people during times when humanity was on the brink of destruction and then was also tasked with cleaning up the mess. This left him bitter and cold hearted. While he cares about others to the point of being protective, he can come of a harsh because of his sarcastic nature. He likes housecleaning besides denying that he likes it.
Appearance
In Fate/stay night as a Servant he wears a red and black outfit with silver details. He has tan skin and white hair. His expression is a serious glare and near frown. His outfit is made up of black pants, a black form-fitting top that shows of his abdominal muscles, a super cropped red jacket that is held in place by a cord between to corded knots with tassels, and an open skirt like red attachment to his pants held with silver armor in the front.
In Fate/hollow ataraxia he is dressed as a monk. His outfit consists mostly of a large red coat with long wide sleeves. Black fabric peeks out from the bottom. He wears whit shoes. He also wears a hat.
In Fate/Grand Order his appearance in Stage 1 is the same as in Fate/stay night. In Stage 2 he is no longer wearing his red jacket or skirt and his outfit is all black. In Stage 3 his jacket and skirt are back and are more detailed including having new details in gold.
He is a male. His height is 187cm and his weight is 78 kg. His eyes are gray. The reason his eyes and hair color is different is because of a rebound effect from using a lot of Projection magecraft.
Abilities
His Noble Phantasm, though not an actual, genuine Noble Phantasm, is Unlimited Blade Works: Infinite Creation of Swords (aka Universe of Endless Blades) which is a Reality Marble that enables him to form weapons to attack with inside the Reality Marble. The weapons it can produce are in the thousands and include Noble Phantasms. EMIYa is capable of customizing them as well and is highly adept at using them because he absorbs all the information about their history, usage, and weaknesses. He can also use the Reality Marble to bring weapons into the real world for him in a similar fashion as the Gate of Babylon Noble Phantasm of Archer Gilgamesh. He can shoot them from the sky or summon them into his hand, all without having to be in the Reality Marble. He can do this while remaining in the real world. There are some limitations to what he can recreate perfectly which include the Ea and Excalibur.
His strength is tactics and adaptability. He doesn’t have many talents but he has refined these strengths well enough that they make him quite a formidable foe. He can also use Broken Phantasms which have a huge burst of destructive power. A lot of what makes him a difficult opponent is that he has so many weapons at his ready to use and also is completely knowledgeable about them. He’d also know which would be the perfect ones to pick to fight against an opponent. He’d also know the weaknesses of his opponents weapons. He is also skilled in close combat with the sword. And of course, as an Archer he is also skilled at ranged weapons as well. He sometimes uses his Archer’s Bow, but can also call weapons into battle through his Unlimited Blade Works and shoot them down at enemies.
