- Human
- Perseus is one of the more "human" servants. He feels fear, despair, and regret. This is in all honesty a doubled edged sword. Perseus' humanity makes him easier to understand and work with as a noble spirit, unfortunately possessing fear makes him an easy target for psychological attacks.
- Realist
- Perseus understands that even for a heroic spirit, some things are impossible, though that doesn't mean he won't give his all. This is somewhat ironic as Perseus is someone who accomplished what he himself thought impossible. Perseus does not fight for glory or honor, only for what he wants and what he believes is necessary.
- Torn
- Perseus is often at odds with himself over what he feels he should do, and what he feels he has to do. Though he may feel regret he will always do what he believes the situation calls for. Perseus sees the weight of his regrets as the price he must pay to ascertain his freedom.
- No Turning back
- Perseus realized early on that no matter how impossible the odds, and no matter how much he wants to run, he can't. There is no where to run to. There is only life and death. He carries this mentality with him every time he steps foot on the battlefield.

MY LEGEND: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus[/color]
MY HISTORY[/color]: //
The second I stepped onto that island I was absolutely sure that I would never leave that place alive. It was like being on the inside of hades’ stomach. I remember standing there as the putrid air slowly yet tenderly began to burn my flesh layer by layer. This was not what I had been promised…
The Gods had showered me with gifts, more than any man history had ever known, a spear that no shield could block, sandals that allowed flight that even a bird would envy, even the shield of Athena herself was thrust upon me… but for what? In the wake of what I saw on the island, what good were these toys? What good is a spear against an enemy that cannot be gazed upon? What good are sandals of flight when there is no escape, what good is a shield when the entire battle field rises against you?
Fear clawed at my heart more savagely with every step, yet still I moved forward, because as much as I wished I could, there was no escape from this hell or the horror that called it home.
As I treaded forward I remember all at once the shield began to shimmer. I watched in awe as a feint light traced a map on the shield, it drew everything in detail from the walls, to the rubble, and even the crumbling pillars. As I watched struck by what I was seeing, a small red light began flickering on and off at first slowly then more hurriedly. It took only moments before I realized it was mimicking my heart beat. Watching the shield carefully I slowly moved through the acropolis. Just as the first light had appeared a second red light began to emerge, dimly at first but then more and more pronounced. Unlike my mark that flashed quickly, this mark blinked slowly yet steadily brightening and darkening in a uniform pattern, there were no fluctuations, there was no fear. I was simply a gnat to this presence.
I didn’t need Athena’s shield to understand what I was up against. I could feel its horrid gaze from the other side of my shield, smell it’s putrid flesh as it stifled my sense of smell. All I could do was fight… All I could do was try and stay alive.
It swung its grotesque limbs at me one after another; I knew that the first blow I received would also be last. I put the tools given to me to use, with the sandals I was just quick enough to dodge each of the monsters blows and thankfully the information from the shield constantly updated, allowing me to fight without looking upon the beast. I stayed there for what seemed like days, dodging and weaving… attempting to strike with my spear only to narrowly dodge another attack. In my heart I knew that as long as this kept up, eventually I would make a mistake, and that would be end of the clown hero Perseus, blessed with more gifts than any other man, then mockingly pushed out into a fool’s errand. I was just their clown, and this was their entertainment.
As I watched the shield with strained eyes, suddenly the beast stopped. In the silence I could feel it, as my hairs began to stand on end, I knew this was it. This was the moment when my brief foolhardy excuse for a life was extinguished as easily as a soldier stepping on an ant. There was only one thing left to do. It was the last gift given to me and my last resort. Quickly I grasped at my belt and yanked it free. It was nothing, an unassuming, poorly crafted, brown bag. I laughed to myself half out of pity, half out of madness as I looked down at the sack. This must have been the punch line the Gods had been waiting for. I would now open the sack to find nothing, then just as the shock gripped my very soul, I would be flayed alive by the monster before me. I had no other choice, if it was my fate to be the biggest fool the world had ever seen, then that was all I could ever be…
As I opened the sack my assumption proved right, empty… I closed my eyes knowing what was coming next, seconds past, then minutes, nothing. I was still breathing. I opened my eyes slowly glancing at the shield. At first I was confused, the two red marks still blinked, yet something had changed, one mark still quickly flickered on and off, yet this mark was not mine. I knew at that moment there would be no other chance, if I valued my life; I had to end it here. I pushed myself forward gathering as much speed as the sandals would give me and with one stroke, I felt my spear slice through the beast.
It was over… I had won…But my battles were far from over…
MY GOALS[/color]: //Freedom from a destiny he never asked for.[/blockquote]
NOBLE PHANTASM[/color]: //
Harpe
Rank:B
Type:Anti-Unit
Range:2-3
Max Targets:1
Harpe is the snake hunter's scythe used by Perseus to kill the Gorgon Medusa. It is described as a monster-killing holy sword that isn't actually an outstanding sword by itself. Its true strength is its trait "Refraction of Longevity", a divine ability that nullifies the special abilities of immortals by inflicting wounds that cannot be restored by any methods, other than healing in accordance to the natural laws.
Harpe cannot be blocked by any defense making evasion a necessity.
Harpe cannot be blocked by any defense making evasion a necessity.
Kibisis
Rank:C++
Type:Anti-Sealing(Anti-Fortress)
Range:2-100
Max Targets:N/a
Kibisis is an anti-sealing Noble Phantasm that distorts the concept of the world, placing the inside of the pouch on the outside and the outside of the pouch on the inside.
During his battle with the Gorgon Medusa, Kibisis inflated and swallowed Perseus, creating a fold in space that placed the outside world into the inside of the bag, and Breaker Gorgon, which affects only what is inside, was reflected back, making Medusa look upon herself as if reflected in a mirror, allowing Perseus to slay her with Harpe while she was immobilized.

The Mirror Shield of Athena
Rank:B
Type:Support
Range:150 yards
Max Targets:N/A
The Mirror Shield of Athena is a bronze shield polished to bear a mirror-like reflection that projects information from the surrounding environment on its surface. This allows the user to rely on that information without having to move himself away from the mirror. It can also be used as a sort of detection device as it transmits the heartbeats of those in the area.
Contrarary to popular belief, The Mirror Shield was unable to reflect Medusa's Mystic Eyes . Instead, Perseus used the shield to find the Gorgon’s location and avoid contact with Mystic Eyes.
The Mirror Shield cannot locate servants in spirit form.

CLASS ABILITIES[/color]: //
Magic Resistance C
Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
SKILLS[/color]: //
Divinity B
Measures the strength of one's divine ancestry. The amount of divine blood inside a demigod. Perseus is a demi-god but has no love for the Gods.
Flight C
Allows Flight. Of the many gifts given to Perseus by the Gods, one of the most famous perhaps are Winged Sandals given to Perseus by Hermes himself. The sandals allow increased mobility and speed in battle, and were paramount to his victory over the Gorgon Medusa, as they allowed him to dodge her blows.
Eye of the Mind (False) A
An innate talent to sense and avoid danger based on intuition, that can also be called the Sixth Sense or prescience, gained through many ordeals and adventures. As a natural talent to avoid danger, it greatly differs from Eye of the Mind (True), which is danger avoidance that originates from “predictions augmented by experience.
In laymen's terms, if The Mirror Shield gives Perseus information, this ability allows him to use the information effectively.
Observed when Perseus fights the Gorgon Medusa, as he quickly and effectively learns her attack patterns and how best to utalize the tools given to him by the Gods.
Pioneer of the Stars
Pioneer of the Stars is the unique Skill given to heroes that became turning points in the human history. All difficult voyages and challenges which are considered "impossible" turn into "events that can be realized".
Perseus overcame the impossible in defeating the Gorgon Medusa. Through his victories and marriage to Andromeda, Perseus eventually founded Mycenae, the center of the Mycenaean civilization.
