IC Information
CHARACTER NAME; Rider
AGE; unknown
CANON; Fate/Zero
CANON POINT; post-series
FAMILY TYPES;
Dragon's Roar: Rider is loud, boisterous, and stubborn as a mule.
Nature Spirits: Rider's ambitions are generally more self-serving than they are "good" or "evil," though he'd never commit true atrocities outside of the battlefield.
Wind Guardians: Rider is nothing without his ambitious, independent nature. He's far less of a King without his subjects, but if it weren't for his individual dedication to his purpose, he would never have gained his followers in the first place.
APPEARANCE;
While Rider is clearly human, he's one hell of a specimen. With his towering height of nearly 7 feet and incredibly powerful build weighing in at almost 300 pounds, he physically outclasses most any other man with ease. His strong facial features almost resemble those of a lion, complete with a fiery red mane made of his short-cropped hair and a thick beard that wraps around his chin. Instead of his kingly armor from ages long past, he's wearing the clothes he gained during his time living with Waver—a t-shirt given out as a promo for a video game he bought, and a pair of extra large pants Waver purchased for him. The clothes fit rather tight, and seem to just barely be big enough for him.
PERSONALITY;
Rider's personality is easily as big as he is, if not even moreso. He always felt that a great King is a "man more real than any other." By that, he means that a great King has bigger ambitions, enjoys life more fully, is more greedy and bloodthirsty and easily angered than any normal man could ever hope to be—in short, he is more of everything that a man could ever aspire to be, good or ill. In being all these things, a King becomes not just a man, but a living legend, a figure that any man could look up to and be inspired by.
In order to fulfill such a lofty role, Rider ends up being incredibly loud, and fairly rude. His massive bellowing voice echoes out across battlefields, his laughter could be heard from a few hundred yards away, he announces his entrance with literal bolts of lightning surrounding his chariot. Never will he hold his opinion silent or bite his tongue; if he feels you have said something foolish, or are acting in a manner unbefitting one of your stature, he'll simply say so. He had no qualms of any sort telling Saber that he felt her Kingship was not a Kingship at all, but a farce from its beginning to its end. As a martyr she is no King, for she had no sense of her people, only the burden placed on her shoulders.
Despite his intense personality and tendency toward bluntness, he is usually quite jovial, even in the midst of battle. It's most often you hear his voice thundering in laughter, rather than anger. Not even the most trying of challenges will faze him, or the most daunting of enemies. Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes himself, does not make Rider hesitate for even a moment. He doesn't even care if someone likes him or dislikes him; the kind of man he is, he earns the respect of even the most callous of men—such as the aforementioned King of Heroes.
The King of Conquerors does not seek to conquer men's lands, or their possessions, but their hearts. In this way, his army grew every time he took over a new land - and he did so with as little bloodshed as possible, as he wanted the men to join him. And join him they did. Even after death, they still stay at his side, ever ready to fight with him again. Every last soldier in his army has such a loyalty to him, and in his dream, that they turned into Heroic Spirits, ever ready to take up arms in their King's name once more, should he call upon them. This is his ultimate Noble Phantasm, the Ionioi Hetairoi, which brings his conquering army back to do battle with his foes once more.
Aside from his dealings with Saber and Gilgamesh, Rider's personality is seen most clearly in his time spent out of combat, with Waver. At first, conversing with the young man involved much more yelling than talking, with the small boy often becoming quite infuriated with his Servant to incredible degrees. Rider's impulsive and carefree attitude grated on every single nerve Waver had. At the same time, Waver's overcautiousness was confusing and frustrating to the headstrong King of Conquerors, and left him scratching his head and wondering why Waver got upset so quickly, and so often. Yet, they slowly grew on each other, each earning the respect of the other bit by bit. Waver's willingness to ride into battle, despite all his fears, is called "brave" by Rider, and cited as a reason that Rider would rather be a Servant to him than to some Master who would hide in the shadows. By the time he enters his final encounter with Gilgamesh, Rider has deemed Waver to be an incredible young man, worthy of joining his army and becoming his subject—an offer Waver joyously accepts, proving just how Rider's concept of "conquest" truly works. Waver uses all three of his Command Spells at once, releasing his King from his status as a Servant, and allowing Rider to fight for his own sake, and his own dreams. Rider, in return, orders Waver to live his life to the fullest—Waver takes this to heart, and tells Gilgamesh after the battle that seeking revenge would end the life that his King had ordered him to live, and that he could not disobey his King's orders. That was enough to earn some respect from Gilgamesh and have his life spared.

SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON;
Rider tortures his poor test drive partner
THIRD PERSON;
All in all, this place didn't seem like it would be so bad, aside from a couple of oddities. It's not like Rider hadn't been pulled from his place of rest before, though at least he knew a little more about the reasons why the last time. He took the Culumon and its enthusiasm in stride, as well as one could expect to with something so annoying anyway, and was now busy trying to figure out just what the whole deal with this "Digital World" was supposed to be. If only this was like the Holy Grail War, where he would have arrived with knowledge of just what it was he was supposed to do here. That could wait for later, though.
The strangest thing was the flickering light coming from what should have been stab wounds all over his body from his battle with the King of Heroes. He could recognize strings of text streaming over the light, and with each flicker, a tiny bit more of what was now empty would feel more like proper flesh again. There weren't even any new scars—a fact that somewhat saddened him, since scars were the sign of a truly challenging battle. The flickering wasn't stopping, though, and even the new skin would still flicker with the rest of the old wound. He couldn't for the life of him understand what was going on with that.
But back to the letter he'd been given. He'd read it through twice now, and was starting to get the idea of the place at least a little better than before. He figured one more read couldn't hurt, but just as he takes it out to look at it, he hears a voice calling out to him.
"…I didn't know they made humans in your size."
Rider looks at the odd creature that can only be his Digimon partner, and lets out a roar of a laugh, leaving his poor partner in something of a daze. They weren't kidding when they said that your partner would find you pretty quick, were they?
