Lancer (Quiver Bits - Shin)

Seijuro Shin, Class Name Lancer, is a Lancer-class Servant contracted with Misu Mujika in Quiver Bits.

Background
Lancer's True Name is Shin Seijuro, a Demi-Servant fused with the Heroic Spirit and Shielder Hadrian. This conflict in Servant classes, mixed between Seijuro's nature and Hadrian's, has led to mental stability conflicts. Seijuro grew up in a negligent household, which prompted him to develop the feeling that no one cared about him. He felt like he needed to prove himself, but for and to, and what and who, he didn't know. He discovered his magecraft at 9 years old and his Piercing origin, but did little to act on it until his friendly rivalry with Sena Kobayakawa flourished. At this point he started learning how to use it.

At 19, just after graduating Ojo Private Senior High, he was sent a letter from Chaldea, who had taken notice of him and his potential. He wasn't very interested until Misu told him she had gotten one as well and that they should go together since she was definitely going to go. He becomes Misu's Servant a little after Berserker due to his recovery period taking a little longer. He proved to be an incredibly strong Lancer, only rivaled by fellow Demi-Servant, Takeru Yamato.

After being thrown into the Grand Line alongside Misu, Takeru and a few other Servants, Seijuro is the first to start planning out their basic necessities and survival.

Appearance
Seijuro is a good-looking young Japanese man with short, straight black hair and brown eyes. He is average height for a human on Earth, and therefore below standard height in the Grand Line. He has a very muscular build, strong arms, broad shoulders and a stern expression. His skin is relatively pale, and he has thick eyebrows that can usually be seen furrowed.

As an ordinary human, Seijuro usually wore a pale blue hoodie and sweatpants with running shoes. After his transformation into a Demi-Servant, Seijuro can be seen wearing a bastardized version of ancient Greek or Roman armor with Ojo's themes and colors mixed in.

Personality
Seijuro is a level-headed, quiet and blunt person by nature. He isn't one to underestimate anyone he faces, always going on with full strength, and is seen as a ruthless, quiet cool boy-type by the general public. He's very good at analyzing a person's behavior and how to physically react during fights. Seijuro isn't very good with words or communication in general.

Seijuro's mind is constantly on his physical conditioning. Whenever he loses or when he feels he performed poorly, he punishes himself by doing even more rigorous training to the point it's starting to take its toll on his body. He is neither prideful nor humble, always taking in things objectively and even if it's at the expense of offending someone else. Seijuro is considered reticent and unapproachable by other people.

After becoming a Demi-Servant, Seijuro has become noticeably more concerned for the people around him, namely his friends and "crewmates." He is always the first one to throw himself into the line of fire to help them.

Relationships
Misu Mujika


 * Because she attended Ojo, Seijuro met Misu when they were both about 13 years old. He was impressed and stricken by her ability, aura and presence, and was immediately determined to get her onto the American football team. Unfortunately she couldn't play because it was the boys' team, much to Seijuro's clear disappointment, but she became a loose semblance of friends with him during the process. Over the years he has developed a kind of sibling-like bond with Misu, acting as an older brother figure. He isn't nearly as close to her as Takeru, but he is a close second.
 * He trusts her completely, even more so after she became his Master. He has faith she will always be right, and even if she isn't, he doesn't feel the need to penalize her. He knows she will always do whatever she can to save lives and that she cares immensely for others. Seijuro frequently gives her objective opinions and advice, being the hardest one to provoke out of Misu's entire group.
 * He still calls her Misu, sometimes Mimi if he's trying and failing to catch her attention. Seijuro often teases and mocks her entirely by accident, commenting on things that may make her comically upset when he didn't mean anything by it. However, she knows this, and doesn't nag him about it as much as she would with Takeru. As a friend and athlete, Seijuro fully recognizes her natural prowess as a fellow athlete. He respects her as a player, as she does with him, and his respect for her grew after seeing her doing her best to be a good leader after the initial panic of not being able to return to Chaldea set in.

Abilities
Seijuro is a miracle being previously inconceivable: he has an immense set of very powerful Magic Circuits without having been experimented on in any way. His life-span has not been shortened as a result, seeing as his body was born accustomed to it, and he has very high tolerance toward magecraft-oriented attacks. He is also naturally strong, fast and analytical, which all contribute to his already impressive natural talent for magecraft. His Piercing origin more or less just allows him to faze through certain objects or substances to varying degrees of success.

Class Skills

 * Magic Resistance (A Rank): Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer." This derives from Hadrian's potential Shielder nature as well as Seijuro's own legends and prowess in defense.
 * Succeed Phantasm (? Rank): A unique Skill that only Demi-Servants possess. One of the Skills that the possessing Heroic Spirit owns is inherited and sublimated in a self-taught manner. In Seijuro's case, it is "Warrior Instinct," which greatly enhances all his physical abilities as well as his physical endurance and grants his skin extra defense, making it harder to pierce.

Personal Skills

 * Trident's Glint: The ability to increase his own defense and debuff resistance, as well as have all enemies' attacks focus on him. He heals slightly.
 * Military Might of the Shining Leader: The ability to increase all allies' attack, and to heal slightly over time. The chance enemies will critically strike decreases slightly as well.
 * Wandering Feet: A skill that allows Seijuro to draw from Hadrian's power as a Shielder with Rider potential to greatly increases his speed. He can break through impenetrable shields and defenses for a brief period of time, and his chances of critically striking increase.

Noble Phantasm
Seijuro has no weapon – instead, he has his hands and strong build. He himself is the Noble Phantasm. His skin is nigh impenetrable, and his attacks strike with the force of an army of thousands of men. Being the physical embodiment of defense partnered with effective and deadly offense, he fights with his bare fists. His blows are deadly and can send hundreds of soldiers flying if the strike is hard enough. He respects Jimbei, which surprised him seeing as humans rarely respect fishmen, but Seijuro stated he had no idea what that was, only that he respects him. Being the Noble Phantasm, all his senses have been elevated significantly. He cannot use Haoshoku Haki, but his mere presence is a worthy stand-in.
