BERSERKER

	info NAME. Henry Jekyll / Edward Hyde AGE. 52 (158) DATE OF BIRTH. December 13 1833. HEIGHT. 5'11". RANK. ✮ ✮ ✮. TITLES. Wayknight (✮ ✮) Earth Alchemist (✮ ✮ ✮) MASTER. Hikaru (Lucifer) individualist VISUAL. Tall and thin, looks maybe 20 years old at most ('about my age' as described by a 17-year-old, not just an art style thing he is really young), blonde hair. As Jekyll he has green eyes and default state is smiling, he has a very nice smile that exudes charisma and innocence, literally referred to as 'an adonis' in canon I'm not fucking kidding (like okay he's pretty but THAT'S PRETTY HEFTY WORDING THERE). Hyde has red eyes and defaults more of a sneer or generally standoffish depending, looks very unnatural in contrast with everything else about him, because there's still something of Jekyll's innocence about his face, in the structure and youth. Generally off-putting for unknown reasons, but hey maybe it's that weird contrast, couldn't be that he's totally horrible right. Dresses well and proper grooming is very important, it would be very rare that anything's out of place at all, and something must really be going down if he's just in his shirt sleeves. DEMEANOUR. Good and proper posture, holds his head high with plenty of confidence and grace in every movement. Jekyll always makes eye contact, Hyde tends not to unless he's particularly interested or being intimidating. Or maybe if he really likes you but that probably falls under interest. And while Jekyll's movements and gestures are soft, Hyde's are much more demanding, assertive. Even in the way either sits or stands, or looks about a room. Even in gaze, Jekyll is soft and kind, Hyde is piercing, judging. Jekyll will move out of the way immediately and apologise even if he is in the right, all good manners, while Hyde acts like he owns anything in sight, and won't hesitate to walk right into someone blocking his way or on top of anything (or anyone, even). AURAL. English gentleman all the way. I have a problem where if there's a musical version of a character then oops that's how I'm hearing them, sssso (which starts Jekyll and switches to Hyde at 1:30). Much like their actions, Hyde is far more gruff, both in speech patterns and the sound itself.
	skills HEROIC SPIRIT. Actually, he's an Anti-Hero, connected to the evils of the world. Suffice to say he has far greater strength, agility, stamina and healing abilities than a regular person. As a Servant, he doesn't need to eat or sleep and generally sustains himself on the mana of his Master, though he is certainly able to do so as well for more. POWERLESS SHELL. As Jekyll, all skills and abilities are vastly decreased. PRESENCE CONCEALMENT. He is only seen as anything out of the ordinary if this ability can be seen through. Magical energy is surpressed, until he moves to attack, then the concealment is lifted. RESTRUCTURING. Incredibly accelerated healing, to the point that a wound might not be seen at all even when inflicted by a Noble Phantasm. MAD ENHANCEMENT. A skill shared by Berserkers, it creates a frenzy in them and greatly raises their strength, speed, endurance, luck and mana stats. The trade off for this is not only a heavy burden for the Master, which often results in the Master's death, but a loss of sanity for the Servant. In Jekyll-Hyde's case, he is devoid of almost all thought and has no speech capability, only howling. Mad Enhancement only takes effect for him under the influence of his Noble Phantasm and therefore he is otherwise in control of all faculties, drains at most an entirely normal amount of mana (but likely less), and stats remain at an even level. Surrounded by a heavy black fog. MONSTROUS STRENGTH. Greatly increases strength for a time. A skill literally for monsters. Becomes more of a monster the longer it's used - loss of sanity. SELF-MODIFICATION. Ability to merge body or bodyparts with that of another, possibly even objects. An inherently malign anomaly. SHAPESHIFTING. Transformation on both a physical and mental level. Not entirely voluntary. NOBLE PHANTASM - DANGEROUS GAME. (密やかなる罪の遊戯 lit. "a surreptitious game of sin") The potion Jekyll created which initially was the source to transformation into Hyde. When used, Berserker becomes the worst form of Hyde. Before the proper introduction of Jekyll-Hyde, the reader is lead to believe Berserker is a werewolf. He's described as covered in thick, coarse fur, hunched, with sharp teeth and a large jaw. His eyes are red and glow in the night. He attacks just as an animal would, using claws, teeth, and brute force. After using his Noble Phantasm, Mad Enhancement takes hold as well. It's unclear as to how long Berserker is able to remain transformed, and depends entirely on the amount of mana available to him. Difficult to properly distinguish his figure. OTHER. He's also an accomplished doctor and scientist, although that's by standards of the late 19th century. Got like 5 doctorates and more titles besides. Probably speaks French, Latin, Greek because Victorians.
