Pharmakos [Initial Persona]

Persona Name: Pharmakos

Persona Type: Initial Persona

Persona's Arcana: Hierophant

Owner: Morningstar

Persona Appearance:


Pharmakos manifests itself as a girl with brown-reddish hair and large demonic horns. She has glowing red eyes and in the place of her hands are crimson, metallic claws which she uses to wield a sharp, saw-like sword. She stands at about eight feet tall and the gigantic blade she wields is almost the same height.

Persona Background: In ancient Greece a pharmakós was the ritual sacrifice of a human victim. During an ongoing disaster or crisis a cripple, criminal, or slave would be chosen by the community who would force them out under the belief that this would "purify" the settlement and that the sins of its inhabitants would be forgiven. Whether or not the selected were actually killed is currently a matter of debate among modern historians, though at the very least they were exiled and tended to be beaten or stoned before their departure.

Fusion Attack:

Fusion Attack Name: Feast of Eden
Persona Name: Pharmakos
Type of Damage: N/A
Description: Pharmakos appears and with a serrated, deranged grin places her sword up close to her neck. In a single slice, she decapitates herself, continuing to smile at the foes even as her head falls down toward the ground. While the rest of her body disappears, Morningstar walks over to the head and picks it up before flinging it at the enemies. As it soars through the sky it transforms into an apple and explodes into a pink mist which swiftly envelopes the battlefield and everyone in it. All allies have 50% of their HP and SP restored by the mist whereas all foes caught within it suffer a 10% chance of being afflicted with the Charm ailment. The mist covers a range of about twenty meters.

Soul Skill Name: Spirit Sacrifice
Persona Name: Pharmakos
Tier: Tier 1
Cost: SP Given x 2
Type of Damage: N/A
Description: Morningstar offers his spirit unto one target of his choosing and in doing so restores some of their SP. He spends double the amount he desires to give and (in PvS) spends the rest of the turn doing nothing. Once the ally's turn arrives, they receive the given amount of SP and are free to do with it as they please, though it obviously can't exceed the maximum amount they can hold at the time. Since they only receive it during their turn, an enemy draining them after the skill's use and before they can act will either have no effect or will only affect preexisting SP in their pool.
