- I’m a Simple Guy
- I’m not some hero with a tragic past or some kind of heroic struggle that I'm a part of. I haven’t wrestled gods and I haven’t killed any monsters.......other than the human kind. I’m a simple kind of guy who gets along with most people. Hell I’m not even the smartest kind of guy either. I just try to take things day by day and do what I can.
- I’m a Friendly Sniper
- Despite the fact that I’ve blown the heads off of more people that you’ll ever meet I’m actually a pretty nice guy. I’ve always done my best to help other people and to assist and save my comrades whenever I could. I don’t really even hate the Soviets for invading. They were just doing their duty like I was. It not my fault that there were so many of them that I could just point my gun and in a direction and shoot and kill one of the sons of bitches. If you ever need my help I’ll be there killing your problems from a safte distance.
- I'm Sometimes Methodical
- Ok so despite you claims of a simple nature I am a bit methodical and calculating when I need to be. If you wanted to be a sniper or a hunter you had to make sure that no one and nothing would be able to spot you until it’s too late. So I always was careful calculating my chances of victory, what could give me away, and how best to kill my enemies. I’m not a cold blooded bastard by nature but I will be if I have to.
- I Might be a Closet Sociopath
- OK so I’ll admit, killing as many people as I did can do strange things to you. You look down the scope (or in my case the iron sights) of your gun and you see you guys that are going to kill your friends and you realize that you’ve got a great deal of power over them; the power of life and death. So you realize that you are going to have to kill this guy in a dishonorable manner. He won’t get a chance to see you or fight back it’ll just be BAM! And he’ll be dead. So you close yourself off from the world and you don’t think of him as human. You just think of him as a target or just something else, something not human at least. Yeah I know it’s pretty inhuman to do that but it’s how I stayed sane.

Well I’m not one to boast about myself really but being a sniper has taught me a lot about staying hidden when I need to. Since my combat outfit was upgraded and I got that nifty little class skill of mine if I don’t want you to see me then you won’t see me. I’ve also honed my shooting skills to the point where I rarely ever miss and its only because I am fighting heroic spirits that its even possible for me to miss in the first place.
WEAKNESSES: //[/color]
Well other that hiding and being a good shot I’m actually not a very good fighter. Sure I can take a hit or two if they’re not too strong but if another melee oriented servant catches me in close combat I’m done for.

MY LEGEND: //[/color]

MY HISTORY: //[/color]
You want to know my story huh? Are you aure? I mean, its not really that impressive. All I ever really did was kill an ungodly amount of Soviets…..Wait, what was that? You just want to know why I’m a Heroic Spirit? Well I guess that’s a pretty good questions seeing as I’m one of the few Heroic Spirits to accend since the beginning of the 20th century. Hell I’m one of the only real ones seeing as ninety percent of the ‘modern’ heroes are Counter Guardians. Alright sure but I suppose I should explain some things to you first…..Hey don’t give me that look. I’m not delaying this story for fun here. I just have to give a little of background stuff before we really get to the story of my life.
Ok then, so you know that to become a Heroic Spirit you have to have done something so epic and beyond what anything a normal person could do that they remember you just for your deeds right? Well in today’s modern society it’s become pretty easy for people to become heroes. Just into a burning building, take down a robber, sign a petition for a rainforest, the list goes on! The worst part is that people don’t believe that things are impossible anymore you know? People see an Olympic gold medalist and they say ‘I could do that if I practiced’ or ‘that’s not that special’ and because they do this there are really no more Heroic Spirits because people don’t believe[/i] in the impossible. So you have to ask yourself, how on earth did I become a Heroic Spirit under these conditions? Well the answer is simple I did something so crazy and impossible that no one has even been able to get close to it. We’ll get to what I’ve done though in just a second so let’s get on with this story yeah?
If you have to know I was born in the municipality of Rautjärvi near the present-day border of Finland and Russia on December 17, 1905. It was a pretty nice place kind of small but nice. It was a great place to grow up and I did a lot of hunting there when I wasn’t helping around on the farm. During my early years I spent the most of my free time practicing shooting. For hours upon hours, days upon days, and years upon years I worked on that skill until I got to the point where I never missed. You see people in their cushy little lives don’t really comprehend the sheer hard work that goes into being good at something. Hell even if you’re a demigod you still have to train and practice to control your power. But anyways I won a lot of awards in shooting competition during my early years and I put all that practice to good use when I joined the Finnish White Guard when I was seventeen. There wasn’t a war going on at the time and so I mostly just did more shooting competitions to win some glory for the Guard and after my mandatory tour with them I was discharged and sent home.
Now this seems like a pretty ordinary life right? Well I wish it had been. It would have been much better if I had just stayed a farmer. In 1939 though the soviets invaded Finland in what is now called the Winter War. I being the patriot I am thought to myself ‘I can’t let those communist bastards just take my homeland’ and so I decided to join up with the Finnish Army and after showing them my skills with a rifle they put me up as a sniper.
So here is where my real legend began. During the Winter War in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius, with less than four hours of daylight a day and, outnumbered 1000:1 I was sent without a spotter to delay the Russian advance by killing as many soldiers as possible. So of course I put myself in whit camouflage and I started killing the red bastards. Every day I would spot a battalion or two and I would pick off ever one of them one by one until they were all nothing more that frozen corpses. Now of course this was some cause of concern to the Soviet so they decided to do what they always did and threw more and more people at the problem, namely me, until I was dead. Normally now this would work since hell it worked on other foreign nations so why not us? So the Red Army sent a bunch of untrained monkeys to find me which of course they didn’t and after they spent all their daylight searching for me they settled down for the night. At night was exactly when I chose to strike. Why the entire camp of several hundred soldiers was sleeping I took out the parameter guards one by one and then snuck into the camp where I slit the throat of every solder in there.
For some reason this scared the Red Army command shitless and so they started calling me the “What Death” and they sent a team of counter snipers (you know snipers who hunt snipers) to kill me. Little to say, I killed them all. So of course they sent twice that number of counter snipers then triple but every time they sent someone against me I found them and killed them. So to respond to this they decided to send even more men to kill me and after I killed several battalion worth of Russians they decided that discretion was the better part of value and that it was alright to blow me away from afar. So the Soviets sent in an artillery division who bombed my area I was in with enough shells to level Moscow. Did this kill me? No. It just pissed me off. So I continued my killing spree and they eventually decided to send everyone that they had at me and that was when they got me.
So see I may be a lucky bastard but I’m not that lucky eventually someone spotted me and shot me in the head. The explosive shell tore off half of my face and a good portion of my skull. Now at this point I was pretty much dead meat. If my injuries didn't get me the Soviets damn sure as hell would. After I was shot in the head I remember floating in some vast cold abyss. There was nothing else besides me in the darkness and I could feel myself falling downwards towards some terrible place. After a while, just when I had lost hope a Voice called out to me and asked if I wished to live. Now I realized that this was probably Satan or something wanting me to give up my soul but I thought 'to hell with it' and said 'yes'. So when the Voice asked me if I would serve it I of course agreed and you know what happened? The next thing I knew I was waking up in a hospital on the day the Winter War ended feeling as if I had just made the worst mistake of my life.
After the war the high command went over my kills and realized that I had 505 confirmed kills with my rifle (542 unconfirmed), over 200 kills with my submachine gun and an uncounted number of kills with my knife. My confirmed kills were at 705 with any type of gun leaving me well and above any other sniper by a good 200 kills in any other conflict in the history of Mankind. This doesn’t even count my number of kills in total, just my sniper kills. Hell at the Battle of Kollaa when we were outnumbered 1000:1 I was counted as killing over 800 myself. Did I tell you I did all of this in less than 100 days? Due to this I was promoted from Corporal straight to Second Lieutenant the largest promotion in Finnish history.
After I was promoted I lived a pretty cushy life back on the farm just raising cattle and hunting. I always felt though that I had made a horrible mistake coming back and after I died I found out I was right. You see that voice was none other than Alaya, the Spirit of Humanity asking me to serve as a Counter Guardian for it. So after my death I've been summoned to lot of different places, being used as a cleaner for the world to cut out the cancers on out society. At this point I've become sick of it. I never wanted to be a killer. I entered the war to protect my homeland. Now, now I'm nothing but a killing machine and I want out. The Holy Grail War is my only chance for freedom.
MY GOALS: //[/color] To help my master win and to go back and make sure I was never shot in the face.
[/size][/blockquote]
White Guard M/28 "Pystykorva" Mosin-Nagant Rifle: This is the rifle I used during the Winter War againt the Red Army. Mosin-Nagants are usually horribly inaccurate but I’ve modified this to be fairly decent. I also took the scope off since it would crack in the cold or give my position away too easily. This is considered along the lines of a C Ranked weapon in power but it really has so special powers itself. The gun holds five rounds and must be reloaded after the ammunition is spent.
Mosin-Nagant Ammo Pouches: Four ammo pouches which hold the gun's 7.62x53 caliber ammunition. Each pouch hold 30 shells.
Finnish Combat Knife: My knife that I used in the Winter War. It’s a D Ranked weapon and it has no special abilities. Its just something to use as a last resort if I get caught in melee.
Combat Outfit: My combat outfit from the Winter War. Usually its white but when I'm not using Presence Concealment I can make it change colors to whatever best fits my environment.
NOBLE PHANTASM: //[/color]
White Death
Title: The Killing Field of Snow
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 500 m.
Max Targets: 500
This Noble Phantasm is the representation of Simo Hayha’s reputation of an invisible unstoppable killer who made the forests of Finland impassable to the Red Army.
Working along the same mechanics as a bounded field, the noble phantasm turns the surrounding area into a snow covered boreal forest environment similar to Finland in the Winter War that is in the middle of a harsh blizzard. Those who are caught in the area of the noble phantasm will be partially blinded by the snow and the blizzard and any servant who equipment or experience to fight in winter conditions will take a temporary -1 to agility while in the forest. Simo himself will disappear into his surroundings and will remain invisible leaving no tracks until struck. At that point the effect of the noble phantasm will end and all modifiers caused by the noble phantasm will cease to be. When created the bounded field will be centered on the location of Simo at the time he created it and will not move or dissipate unless Simo runs out of mana, is hit, dismisses it, or the bounded field is somehow destroyed. The field will remain standing for the allotted time even if Simo exits it. This effect lasts for three posts.

Iron Sights
Title: “A good eye doesn’t need a scope to hit”
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: Max Range: 1000 yards, Effective Range: 5-700 yards
Max Targets: 1
This noble phantasm is not so much a physical weapon but an aura constructed of Simo Hayha’s legend as an unparalleled sniper. This noble phantasm transforms the shots fired from Simo’s gun into prana infused blasts equivalent to an attack from a D -ranked noble phantasm. These shots have armor piercing qualities and will punch through any unranked structure like paper. People are no exception to this rule and any regular human hit with this attack will be torn to pieces by the force of the blast.
CLASS ABILITIES: //[/color]
Presence Concealment A+: The capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. It is possible to disappear completely and become almost impossible to be detected. However, efficacy will decrease once preparations to attack are taken.
SKILLS: //[/color]
Clairvoyance B: Superior visual perception. Supplement long-range aiming and increases dynamic vision. Capable of keeping track of fast-moving object within a range of 4kms as well as having X-Ray vision as long as one does nothing else but concentrate on it.
Field of Detection A: Detects presence of others within a 15 km radius. Combined with Presence Concealment, this ability is optimal for reconnaissance. Counters Presence Concealment of equal rank or lower.
Disengage A: The ability to break away from combat. Simo is able to break away while in the middle of combat and flee. Bonus effect of returning battle conditions to what they were at the beginning of the match.
Eye of the Mind (True) B: Heightened insight that was refined through experience. 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. So long there is even a 1% chance of a come-back, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning.

MISC. INFORMATION: //[/color] So am I the only one that LOL’d when I saw sniper Finland? It’s the picture that inspired me to do this instead of Vlad XD. Also I know most if not all Heroic Spirits are from the 19th century back but honestly what Simo Hayha did was so impossible that I'd say he is actually qualified.
