disclaimers: My character is Cú Chulainn from Fate Stay Night, Though I've also taken the liberty of doing my own research into the Irish Mythology surrounding him. So in essence the character is AU/CANON DIVERGENT based. I should warn those that interact with him. He is a womanizer it's just a part of his personality that said don't take it to heart just know it's writing. In essence a lot of themes I happen to due are dark fantasy based, or modern twists with triggering elements, You've been warned.

personality
Lancer is a fierce, but balanced warrior who enjoys combating a worthy opponent, but at his core he believes in justice and is easy to get along with. He is an agreeable youth acting out the role of one gentle in disposition yet strong in body. He has a playful attitude and takes a very carefree approach to life, but is quick to work himself into a frenzy during a heated battle. He was known as a brave, compassionate, and likeable young man in the legends. He mercilessly killed his enemies on the battlefield, but he respected faith and had the nobility to never once break a promise he had made.He enjoys fishing, hunting, and hitting on cute girls. He is a proud warrior, someone who can't abandon a fight just because he's losing. He's ready to fight until the end, for the sake of his fighting will and also for his Master. He easily loses his cool, especially to insults calling him a dog.
He's not interested in killing innocent people, though he still strictly follows the rules of the war to kill bystanders like Shirou. He's very keen on his mission and somehow professional in his "work". He's noble and he can't really stand people who're joking with him or simply betraying his trust. He's also easily touched by others problems and if he chooses to protect someone, he will do his best till the very end. He really enjoys dating women or simply to spend his time in relaxing hobbies like fishing.
He regretted nothing in his life, though it was one full of wrong turns. There may have been disappointment, but he does not regret his life one bit. His spear only took away the lives of his loved ones, his close friend and son, but its only regret was that it had been meant to murder a single woman that he was unable to kill. Though it is impossible to swap one's life for another, he thinks saving Bazett from the looping world may allow him to leave the regrets of his youth behind. He only has a complaint about his fate as he tries to save her, that he never has any luck with good women.
appearance
Cú Chulainn is a blue-haired, red-eyed man whose primary outfit is a deep ultramarine full body tights covered in Runic protections, grey metalic pauldrons, and a metal plate over his lowest abdominal section. He wears his hair in a rattail that reaches his mid-back. He also wears a pair of silver earrings. Lancer gives off the impression of a beast, even carrying a bestial smell.In Fate/hollow ataraxia, Lancer usually wears a yellow Hawaiian shirt and black pants when he's not working one of his part-time jobs. In Today's Menu for Emiya Family, Lancer's casual outfit consists of a white T-shirt, black pants and a black jacket. Shirou found it a mystery that Lancer could wear an apron and look good in it.
In the Fate/EXTRA series, Lancer's outfit covers his entire body with light blue lined design, with some black sections, grey metalic pauldrons like his original design, and a light flame design on his left arm.
Abilities
As a demigod whose father was an almighty god who possessed every skill such as knowledge, techniques and magic, and whose mother was Deichtine, the younger sister of King Conchobar, Cú Chulainn exhibited superior talent from birth. Boasting supernatural ability that separated him from ordinary people from a young age, in time, the grown Cú Chulainn was accepted as a member of the famous Akaeda Knights. His actions after that rendered him unmatched. Having seen in him a worthy student and disciple, Scáthach later taught him all that she knew about martial arts and the more powerful aspects of thaumaturgy. In his training in the Land of Shadows, he was taught incredible magic and unrivaled demonic spearmanship and received the original Runes and the terrible magic spear Gaé Bolg.Other than Lancer, Cú Chulainn also qualifies for the Berserker and Caster classes. He had gone berserk several times in life, however, there is no doubt that the Lancer class suits him best. He also takes great pride in having the ability and knowledge enough to qualify for the Caster Class due to his knowledge on Runes. Thanks to not just being a reckless warrior, he can see through Medusa's Blood Fort Andromeda from just a glance, consider the situation, and make a decision not to destroy it. He is able to tell the quality of a Bounded Field and decide it does not belong to Caster due to not being at the same level as her Bounded Fields. As a Lancer, he possesses supreme agility, as well as excellent close combat skills. Although they tend to be less flashy than the other classes, they are a very reliable type of Servant.
Cú obtains no geographical boosts from the cultural sphere around Japan, since those of Celtic mythology are not well known in that country. However, if the stage of the Holy Grail War were anywhere but Japan, he would be a shining existence on par with Heracles and King Arthur. In western Europe, he would receive a general boost in power similar to other European Heroic Spirits, and he would display a much sharper increase in power in Ireland. There, he is a great hero that surpasses in fame even King Arthur, due to poetry and statues praising him still remain to this day. He is without a doubt one of the greatest heroes of that country. While Diarmuid Ua Duibhne is stronger than him in terms of pure firepower due to his Master giving him a greater mana supply, should both of them fight in Ireland, Cú Chulainn would gain an edge over him.
Combat
Lancer fights with a two-meter spear, allowing him to only need to attack when an opponent enters his range. Such a distance as three meters between him and the opponent matters little, so while it is easier to thrust at an approaching enemy instead of moving out, he will still quickly close the distance between an opponent instead. All of his thrusts are enough to be called a final blow to strike the opponent down. The main strength of the weapon is in its swings rather than thrusting as its shape would indicate. Its wide swing utilizes its long range to not allow the enemy to dodge by stepping back. Partial retreat from a strike will not allow for escape, attempting a counterattack would result in receiving a slashed stomach, and simply going forward will result in a smashed rib from the long shaft of the lance. Thrusts are still dangerous, but it is possible to avoid an attack that targets a specific point once it has been seen through to allow for the strike to be redirected to create an opening.
He fights with intensity, and it would normally be that closing in on an opponent in such a matter would be suicidal with such a long weapon. Lances are effective against swords because there is no effective way of parrying them with a sword. Strong rebuffs from a sword only results in a counterattack, while weak rebuffs do not create any openings. The most important part of a battle between the two is defeating the enemy while they are at the wrong range. Spearmen normally use their length and freedom of range to win a battle, and discarding such an advantage by closing in should mean defeat. Such by the book tactics mean little to him, as his ability with the lance shows no vulnerabilities due to not having to follow the general rule on lances. His strikes that are fast enough that even the afterimages are blurred allow him to easily remove any possible openings, and he can constantly increase the speed of his thrusts and make continuous attacks without allowing the slightest pause in between.
Cú Chulainn specializes in survival, and his capable of returning alive no matter how hopeless the situation. He usually prefers to fight with his full power as a warrior. However, contrary to his legendary battle prowess, his fighting in the Fifth Holy Grail War is extremely limited. Thus, this time luck wasn't on his side. Due to the Command Spell of his Master Kirei Kotomine "Fight with everyone, then withdraw," he was commanded to involuntarily perform reconnaissance missions. Fighting several Servants to a draw, he will never start a fight on his own. Even if he gains a full chance to kill an opponent, he is to merely observe and is given no authority to attack. Even in the middle of his first battle with EMIYA, he showed decisive action by leaving the battle to kill Shirou Emiya whom he recognized to have witnessed it. The withdrawal was also very skilled, giving the appearance of realizing that the situation was unfavorable. He can only go all out against an opponent during their second encounter due to the Command Spell, so his first true "battle without any binds" is against Archer. Without anything binding him, his strikes are much faster and harder to see than in the previous battle. The only way Archer is able to keep up with him in direct combat compared to the previous fight is due to the experience of previously fighting him.
Lancer is able to easily put distance between him and his opponent at any point in a battle, and using his lance to vault thirty meters is not a difficult feat, Lancer's speed is extraordinary. Archer claims his speed is extraordinary among even the fastest heroes that would normally be chosen as Lancer. He far surpasses all of them, not even three in the world being at his level, and he is the only one with such "beast-like agility." In fact, both Medusa and him boast the most outstanding speed in the Fifth Holy Grail War. In average speed, Rider is faster, being able to move like a bullet and race around the battle field. Lancer on the other hand, surpasses her in immediate maximum output, as he is able to counter attacks with a lance with the speed of gods, while standing still. If the two of them were to fight each other, Medusa would display greater versatility thanks to having several different types of Noble Phantasms, however, having protective ability from Rune Magecraft, he'd be able to counter her Mystic Eyes. Being an expert monster exterminator, one who has a monster alignment such as Medusa would find a battle against him rather tough, although not impossible. As implied in Hollow Ataraxia, Cú hinted that they had fought before and that he was now afraid of her because of it. Stating that "She's dangerous, she is. Not an ounce of mercy for her enemies." He even declared his fear for her Noble Phantasm Bellerophon calling it "A missile!" with Child-Gil adding "With a nuclear warhead to boot."
