    “ Who cares about my future self? My future belongs to me and me alone. ”

    Cú Chulainn, the great hero of the Ulster Cycle, as he was during his training days, simply known as Sétanta. He is physically younger and less mature than his manifestation as Lancer or Caster. Instead, he possesses the unlimited potential of a boy who continually strives to one day become a hero.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL A young boy who looks about 14ish in a somewhat strange outfit, always carrying around a wooden quarterstaff and a sheathed sword on his hip, looking as light and nimble as he is. Keeps his long hair in a braid. Has calloused hands that speak of his training. He's usually accompanied by a small white dog that he barely speaks of.

DEMEANOUR Energetic and friendly, never afraid to speak his mind, idealistic and defiant of his own fate despite knowing of his future myths & demise, always quick to move into action without hesitation and earnestly strives to become a good hero.

OLFACTORY Like a dog who's been basking in the sun. Earthy.

PERSONALITY
+
loyal . confident . positive
=
protective . outspoken . adaptable
-
impulsive . naive . stubborn


A bright, cheerful, and action-oriented wild child. Sétanta acts before worrying too much about things. Despite his wild nature, he is well-mannered towards his elders and adults, thanks to the thorough education from his foster father Fergus and his teacher Scáthach. When no one is watching, he acts freely and unrestrained.

Sétanta treats his Master like a close friend. This approach is his optimal way of interacting with someone close his age. He has no particular wish for the Holy Grail, knowing that the desire to become the greatest hero can only be fulfilled by himself.
ABILITIES
CLASS SKILLS
MAGIC RESISTANCE (B Rank)
Cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Difficult to be affected against magecraft on the level of greater magecraft and Greater Rituals.

DIVINITY (B Rank)
Sétanta, who is considered a child of the sun god Lugh, possesses the aptitude of a Divine Spirit.
PERSONAL SKILLS
KNIGHT OF THE RED BRANCH (B Rank)
Sétanta is keenly aware that he is a member of the Knights of the Red Branch, a group of brave and uninhibited warriors from Ulster, and has the appropriate skill to fight as one.

HOUND-SLAYER (A+ Rank)
The legend of how he got the name Cú Chulainn, based on his slaying of the savage dog of Culann, transformed into a skill. It's a variant of the Beast-Slayer Skill and grants special attack performance towards animals. Having deep knowledge about the nature of beasts, he knows how to kill them.

SHADOW LAND ARMS MASTERY (B+ Rank)
The time he spent training with the Queen of the Land of Shadows, Scáthach, fortified Sétanta's mind and body to create the unrivaled hero, Cú Chulainn. As this Spirit Origin is still in training (at the end of his training, to be very specific), he possesses this skill.
NOBLE PHANTASM
CRUAIDÍN SÉTANTA: SHINING BLADE OF CLEAVING DEATH (B+ RANK)
NP TYPE: Anti-Personnel | RANGE: 0-30 | MAX. TARGETS: 1

A Noble Phantasm where the unnamed sword awarded to Sétanta by King Conchobar - at the time when he was recognized as a warrior of Ulster - is assimilated with Cruaidín, the sword of light that appeared in the legend of "The Battle of Roos na Rig".

A magic sword that emits a faint light, but shines brightly upon its True Name being released. It demonstrates a power that is even akin to the magic sword Caladbolg that his adoptive father Fergus wields. Combined with the fearsome combat skills he learned from his mentor Scáthach, Sétanta strikes down his foes without mercy.

✦ specifics
physical affection.
Go for it! How receptive he'll be depends on who it is.

FIGHTS, INJURIES AND DEATH.
He's a rowdy boy always eager for a fight/sparring match, so yes to fighting and injuring him. Also down for killing him, but let's talk first.

mind reading.
Sure! He's pretty honest and speaks his mind readily, so it's probably not needed with how much of an open book he is, but feel free to hit me up if you need any details. Generally he's likely to be thinking about training, fighting, and his goal of becoming a hero.

magical information.
He's a heroic spirit summoned as a Servant (basically a powerful human-shaped familiar) so he's essentially made of magical energy. Characters sensitive to this are welcome to pick up on this.

medical information.
A Servant's body and mind are composed of magical energy (mana), spiritrons (a substance that is the essence of the soul), and ether. He's hard to kill due to this, heals fast, does not require sleep or food (but they can help to conserve or gain a little energy) so as human as he looks, physically he isn't.

romance and shipping.
Ha ha good luck. He's pulled from a time in his life where such a thing is not going to be on his mind at all, this boy's too busy training to become a hero. That said I'm open to shipping given enough development and if the spark is there, canon or crosscanon. A canon fave to throw him at would be Shirou.

notes.
I've never gotten to play FGO Arcade so I'm drawing mostly from the Lilim Harlot event in FGO and whatever morsels of Arcade lore I can find. I'm also very new to FGO, please bear with me.
Also re: 4th wall, I'm fine with recognizing him from Celtic Mythology, but not Fate/ canon itself.

opt-out.
Don't wanna play with Sétanta for whatever reason? No worries, I get it. Just leave a comment below, comments are screened.
