Rider's True Name is Medusa the Gorgon from Greek mythology. Rather than being a regular Heroic Spirit, she is an existence closer to a Divine Spirit, but her actions have made it better to categorize her as an "anti-hero closer to a monster."With her older sisters Stheno and Euryale, they made up the three Gorgon Sisters who inhabited the Shapeless Isle. She was known as the "woman who dominates", an anti-hero who became as such due to the dark thoughts of humans.Differing from someone like Hassan-i-Sabbah who was a hero who actually existed, she is said to be one of legends born by the gathering of belief.
The legend of Medusa is different than her actual life. She was said to be a half-human, half-god female beast often portrayed with the form of a snake. Originally she was an Earth Goddess. While all originally beautiful women, she and her sisters were hated by Poseidon's wife because of his love for them. Athena, jealous of their beautiful hair, transformed them into demons. Secluding themselves in a lightless temple on the Shapeless Isle, they only attacked humans with a reason. Eventually, as a victim of the gods' unreasonable actions, she was to have her head cut off on their whim. Defeated by Perseus by reflecting her petrification back at her with his mirror-like shield, Pegasus, the son of Poseidon, was said to have sprung from the blood of her headless neck.
OF A PROMISED KING "It appears you tend to be observant of the other versions of me. Quite frankly I have been the only SABER that everyone is accustomed to and I am pleased of being the original. Now, let us begin with our discussion, shall we, Rider?"
A noble voice would echo out across the expanse of a dimly lit room. You yourself would find yourself fashioned to a chair within the center of it. Soon enough you'd find a single man standing before you. A man shrouded in white, and red offering you an hungry stare. Hues of gold brimming with an undisturbed focus as he begun to speak."If you discovered that your life was a Fairy Tale what would you do? Continue to live on as if nothing was wrong? Slither back into the abyss that you were spawned from? Or simply let fate spin its web over, and over again. No matter what you decide the stars are aligned to accept it. Forced in fact by your desire to change." For a moment he ceased to speak in favor of drawing the katana that was held at his side, and pointing the tip of its blade towards your throat. "So what is your answer dear friend? What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Not my best work, but I figured I'd send a small sample of my writing in the form of a greeting. Feel free to respond to this IC, or OOC as you see fit. Kinda a mass greeting of sorts, but I'm not expecting many people to reply regardless. XD So no skin off your back stranger. However if you are up for it I'd love to discuss a story some time.
