CLASS SKILLS
Existence Outside the Domain (A)
As a being whose story took place in a quarantined multiverse, and whose power originally came from an alien entity, she possesses a nature completely alien to Gaia and Alaya. As a result, she is less affected by the Boundaries and Rules of Gaia and Alaya.
[LOCKED]
PERSONAL SKILLS
She Was There (She Was Forgotten) A
"People are spread out. I know you're there. You're different but you're there."
Born of the Oracle's prediction, this Skill acts as a specialized variant of Independent Manifestation. Because her soul originates from a world removed from the Throne of Heroes, and because her presence at the end of all things was mathematically guaranteed, Servant Ordained possesses the conceptual property of Perpetuity. She is anchored to the fundamental concept of simply "being there" when the world begins to break.
Regardless of chronological paradoxes, timeline manipulation, or pruning, she is Always There. She may also manifest without the need of a Master. Furthermore, she is immune to instantaneous death and reality-rewriting - and her existence is both "recorded" and "Forgotten" by Akasha - making her incredibly difficult to summon using standard means.
However, this eternal presence comes at the cost of being Never Recorded. To the World and its inhabitants, her identity constantly slips through the cracks of memory - and those who fight alongside or against her will retain profound impressions of her presence in their lives, but the moment she is removed from the timeline, her True Name and face become permanently Lost.
Magna Carta (A)
"I've never been a stranger to pain."
Due to her nature as a being existing outside the standard timeline, Ordained does not possess mana as a typical Servant might. Consequently, her maximum output is reduced to a B-Rank at most - and in return, she draws her energy directly from the well of Akasha itself. While she possesses an effectively infinite reserve, her total instantaneous output is heavily restricted by the limits of her vessel. She may forcefully bypass this bottleneck to channel greater power, but doing so inflicts immense personal strain on her from the inside out - and if pushed too far, might disintegrate her vessel or form.
In fitting with her life and preferred style, she tends to use the least amount of force possible where applicable.
Sovereign of the Unseen (A+)
"I can see you."
The sublimation of her original ability - this Skill grants Ordained absolute Sovereignty over lower life-forms often seen as lesser or reviled. From arthropods to rats, mice, birds, and even domesticated pets - all within her range become her subjects and allow her to high-level parallel processing and a form of Clairvoyance within her range.
Due to her power no longer being linked to her Passenger/Shard; the range of her domain expands to the extent of her will and power, capable of stretching from a standard three hundred meters to three hundred thousand.
Defiance of Expectation (A)
"They always underestimated me."
Passively boosts all of her physical parameters (Strength, Endurance, Agility) by a single Rank. When she enters a state of true focus - this boost is doubled, to a max of A-Rank.
Additionally, and owing to her propensity to survive impossible scenarios, this Skill imposes a conceptual disposition of Uncertainty upon her. If an attack, prophecy, or Noble Phantasm possesses the property of being "Certain" or "Absolute" (such as Gae Bolg), that certainty is forcibly downgraded when directed at her. This effect is not a negation, but it strips away the absolute causality of the universe, granting her a microscopic window of probability to dodge, counter, or survive what the rest of the world deemed to be an absolute inevitability.
Godslayer B+
"Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse -Inevitable. Wasn't that how she put it?"
Granted for her ability to kill and contend against things one might consider a God or Divine in nature. Against enemies with the Divine, Threat to Humanity, or Alien traits, her damage output is exponentially increased - and she her (LOCKED) limitations are released by a single Rank.
Unflinching Spirit (Gold Morning) A+
"The head that wears the crown bears a heavy burden."
As long as she has a singular objective, her Spirit Origin will not dissipate even if her spiritual core is destroyed, keeping her anchored until the threat is neutralized. Compare: Battle Continuation and Determination of Steel.
Also grants user immunity against mind-altering effects ranked A or lower, and high immunity against mind-altering effects ranked higher than A. Also grants user the ability to manipulate their own emotions - dialing it up or down as required - but risks impairing one's own ability to judge and may cause addicting or dangerous affects. Prolonged usage may result in the semi-permanent changes to cognition.
Tactics of the Mastermind (A)
"You just need to get creative."
Any object Ordained sees as valuable gains a boost in its parameters when used by her. Even mundane items become Mystic Codes in her hand, with a limit of D-Rank.
NOBLE PHANTASMS
Resolver: The Last Recourse
Rank: A ~ A+++
Type: Anti-Unit / Anti-God
Range: 1~50
Maximum Targets: 1 Person
"I never pulled the trigger—but I made it happen."
A simple, unremarkable revolver. Conceptually, it is the crystallization of the burdens she bore, and the judgment she wielded in life. In its sealed state, it functions as a potent Mystic Code that fires conceptual bullets, drawing from her Mana. Each projectile strikes with the force of an B-Rank Noble Phantasm and carries the property of "Unavoidable Consequence," negating magical defenses and armors of B-Rank or lower (can be reinforced to bypass A-Rank). In respect to her careful nature in regards to force; she may lower the total output if required.
Upon True Name release, Ordained aims not at the target's physical body, but at their Fate. By pulling the trigger, she imparts the concept of a "Definite End" upon the target's existence. While not a deliverer of certain death, it forcefully imposes mortality upon the target stuck. Due to this, she may part the concept of mortality onto the immortal, an ending upon the endless, and silence upon a god.
Because of its immense conceptual weight, this True Name release can only be used exactly six times per summoning - and Resolver reverts to a "sealed" state, incapable of being reinforced beyond it's B-Rank output.
Ananke: The Unflinching Spear
Rank: A ~ EX
Type: Anti-Unit / Anti-Life
Range: 1~99 (Multiversal)
Maximum Targets: 1
"Fate... you always played your games."
A spear of silver and willow, starkly simple. Represents her incessant ability to orchestrate the death of That Which Is Not Killable.
Passively, wounds inflicted by its blade become permanent fixtures of the targets reality, unable to be healed by standard magecraft, regenerative Skills, or Divine Authority short of True Magic. Any strikes become fixtures of the targets existence, and can only be healed by normal means.
When its True Name is released, Ananke becomes a condensed recreation of the Gold Morning assault: the spear strikes the target in the past, present, and future; across every parallel world; and inside every conceptual space they occupy - all in a single instant. It is the combined might of thousands of parahumans and a god-slaying weapon condensed into a single thrust. Against this attack, evasion is mathematically impossible, defense is irrelevant, and survival itself becomes a paradox.
(Works best when used in conjunction with Resolver - as while it contains the certainty of strike, it does not impose the concept of mortality.)
SPECIAL NOTICE: Due to her unique disposition, Ordained functions primarily as (LOCKED) and is kept within Akasha as (LOCKED). If threat is determined to reach the parameters of (LOCKED), her summoning is allowed against threats that threaten the (LOCKED). Due to this, she is considered outside of both the Counter-Force and Throne of Heroes, while residing within both and being accessible by both.
Due to her unique station, she is rarely summoned at her full power - and, if somehow summoned towards a grail, her parameters as (LOCKED) are restricted and her class of Ordained is masked.
