Region: China.
Source: Records of the Three Kingdoms, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Etc.
Hidden Attribute: Human.
Basic Traits: Male, Hominidae Servant, Humanoid, Dragon, Fairy Tale Servant, Seven Knights Servant, Brynhildr's Beloved, Weak to Enuma Elish.
Personality: He is the perfect example of a warrior. Not only he's loyal, devoted and fearless, he's also calm and collected. He has a light-hearted attitude, yet he's still respectful and thoughtful. While he's honorable, he isn't above using tactics that are perceived as 'cowardly', because he knows that is how wars are fought. He's humble, which in fact claims that he still has many weaknesses like any people. He's indeed an splendid heroic figure, but even so, but even with all those favorable points, he's still a bit of a tease. He blatantly admits that he is a pervert as he enjoys teasing girls and seeing their looks of embarrasment. Plus, he can be a bit too blunt which may get him in problems.
Motivation/Attitude towards Master: He's the type of Servant who serves the Master who he considers as worthy. Because if he were to serve an foolish and unreasonable Master like Keyneth, he won't even pay attention to him. Those kinds of Masters must use Command Seals to make him obey, but that'll only work on short terms. But to someone who he considers worthy, he'll be loyal to them to the very end.
To the Master of Chaldea, he's strangely devote. Maybe because the Master of Chaldea's possition as the one commandint many types of Servants, despite being a normal person, reminds him of his previous lord, Liu Bei. But if he were to chose between his previous lord and the current one, Zhao Yun will chose the later.
Likes: "What I like? Hmm... What do I enjoy, is what what I wonder myself. Maybe nabe? Food doesn't counts? Okay, let me see... Oh, I got it! What I like I playing music! Sorry if my answer is unsastifactory."
Dislikes: "What I dislike is... I guess using love as a means for ambition and greed. Master, if you find someone, please let it be for sincere love rather than having another agenda."

History: He was a military general who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China. Originally a subordinate of the northern warlord Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun later came to serve another warlord, Liu Bei, and had since accompanied him on most of his military exploits, from the Battle of Changban (208) to the Hanzhong Campaign (217-219). He continued serving in the state of Shu Han - founded by Liu Bei in 221 - in the Three Kingdoms period and participated in the first of the Northern Expeditions until his death in 229.
While many facts about Zhao Yun's life remain unclear due to limited information in historical sources, some aspects and activities in his life have been dramatised or exaggerated in folklore and fiction. In the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was lauded as a member of the Five Tiger Generals under Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun's original biography in the Records of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguozhi), written by Chen Shou in the third century, is only 346 Chinese characters long. In the fifth century, Pei Songzhi added annotations from the Zhao Yun Biezhuan (趙雲別傳; Unofficial Biography of Zhao Yun) to Zhao Yun's biography in the Sanguozhi, providing a relatively clear, though still incomplete picture of Zhao Yun's life.
Zhao Yun was from Zhending County, Changshan Commandery. The Zhao Yun Biezhuan described his physical appearance as follows: eight chi tall (approximately 1.84 metres), with majestic and impressive looks. After receiving a recommendation from the Administrator of Changshan Commandery to serve in the government, Zhao Yun led a small group of volunteers to join Gongsun Zan, a warlord in You Province. Around the time, the warlord Yuan Shao had experienced a surge in fame after his recent appointment as the Governor of Ji Province, so Gongsun Zan was worried that many people in You Province would choose to serve under Yuan Shao instead of him.
When Zhao Yun showed up with his volunteers, Gongsun Zan asked him mockingly: "I heard that all those in your home province wanted to serve the Yuans. Why did you have a change of heart, and decide to correct your mistake?" Zhao Yun replied: "The Empire is in a state of chaos and it is unclear who is right and who is wrong. The people are in danger. Those in my home province, after careful deliberation, decided to follow a lord who governs with benevolence. Therefore, I chose to join you, General, instead of Lord Yuan." Gongsun Zan then accepted him. Zhao Yun later fought on Gongsun Zan's side in some battles against rival forces.
Around the early 190s, Zhao Yun met Liu Bei, who was taking shelter under Gongsun Zan at the time. Zhao Yun became very close to Liu Bei and desired to switch his allegiance to Liu Bei. When Gongsun Zan sent Liu Bei to assist his ally, Tian Kai, in a battle against Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei and served as a cavalry officer under Liu Bei.
When Zhao Yun received news of his elder brother's death, he asked for a temporary leave of absence from Liu Bei to mourn his brother. Liu Bei knew that Zhao Yun would not return after leaving, so he held Zhao Yun's hand while bidding him farewell. Before departing, Zhao Yun told Liu Bei: "I will never forget your favour."
In early 200, after Liu Bei lost his base in Xu Province to his rival Cao Cao, he fled north across the Yellow River and sought refuge under Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's rival. Around the same time, Zhao Yun also came to Ye, Yuan Shao's headquarters, where he met Liu Bei again. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei shared the same room during their stay in Ye.
Liu Bei secretly instructed Zhao Yun to help him gather hundreds of men who were willing to follow him, and claim that they served under the General of the Left (左將軍). Yuan Shao was unaware of this. Zhao Yun then accompanied Liu Bei and his followers as they left Yuan Shao and headed south to join Liu Biao, the Governor of Jing Province.
In 202, when Cao Cao was away on campaigns in northern China against Yuan Shao's sons and their allies, Liu Bei took advantage of Cao Cao's absence to launch an attack on Cao Cao's territories in central China. Cao Cao sent his general Xiahou Dun and others to lead an army to resist Liu Bei.
During the battle, Zhao Yun captured Xiahou Lan (夏侯蘭), an old friend who was from the same hometown as him. He requested that Liu Bei spare Xiahou Lan's life and recommended Xiahou Lan to serve as a military judge because he knew that Xiahou Lan was knowledgeable about law. Zhao Yun earned praise for being conscientious and careful when he maintained a professional relationship with Xiahou Lan despite their friendship.
After Liu Biao died in 208, his younger son Liu Cong succeeded him as the Governor of Jing Province. When Cao Cao launched a military campaign in the same year to eliminate opposing forces in southern China, Liu Cong surrendered and yielded Jing Province to him. Liu Bei and his followers abandoned their stronghold in Xinye County and headed further south towards Xiakou, which was guarded by Liu Biao's elder son Liu Qi and was independent of Cao Cao's control.
Cao Cao personally led a 5,000-strong elite cavalry force to pursue Liu Bei. They caught up with Liu Bei at Changban and inflicted a devastating defeat on his forces. While Liu Bei abandoned his family and fled, Zhao Yun carried Liu Bei's young son Liu Shan and protected Liu Bei's wife Lady Gan (Liu Shan's mother) during the battle and delivered them to safety. He was later promoted to the rank of General of the Standard (牙門將軍) for his efforts.
Earlier on, after his defeat at Changban, Liu Bei heard rumours that Zhao Yun had betrayed him and defected to Cao Cao' side. Refusing to believe the rumours, he threw a short ji to the ground and said: "Zilong will never abandon me." He was right as Zhao Yun returned to him a short while later.
In the winter of 208-209, Liu Bei formed an alliance with the warlord Sun Quan and they defeated Cao Cao at the decisive Battle of Red Cliffs. As Cao Cao retreated north after his defeat, Liu Bei and Sun Quan advanced and conquered Nan Commandery, which used to be under Cao Cao's control.
Zhao Yun was later promoted to Lieutenant-General (偏將軍) for his contributions towards Liu Bei's conquests of the four commanderies in southern Jing Province: Changsha, Lingling, Wuling and Guiyang. After the capture of Guiyang Commandery, Liu Bei appointed Zhao Yun as the new Administrator to replace Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan had a widowed sister-in-law who was famous for her beauty. He wanted to arrange for her to marry Zhao Yun so as to build connections with Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun rejected the idea and told Zhao Fan: "We share the same family name. Your elder brother is also like an elder brother to me."
There were others who urged Zhao Yun to accept the marriage but Zhao Yun firmly refused and said: "Zhao Fan was forced to surrender because of the circumstances. His intentions are unclear and suspicious. Besides, there are many other women in this world." Not long later, Zhao Fan escaped, and Zhao Yun was able to avoid any association with him because he did not agree to the marriage.
Around 211, Liu Bei led an army west into Yi Province to assist the provincial governor Liu Zhang in countering a rival warlord, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong Commandery. Zhao Yun and others remained behind to guard Jing Province.
Sometime in 209, Liu Bei married Sun Quan's younger sister, Lady Sun, to strengthen the Sun-Liu alliance. Lady Sun also remained in Jing Province when Liu Bei left for Yi Province. As she saw herself as the sister of a powerful warlord, Lady Sun not only acted in an arrogant and unbridled manner, but also allowed her bodyguards and personal staff to behave lawlessly in Jing Province. For this reason, Liu Bei specially appointed Zhao Yun, whom he deemed a serious and conscientious person, to oversee domestic affairs in Jing Province and maintain law and order during his absence. When Sun Quan heard that Liu Bei had left for Yi Province, he sent a vessel to fetch his sister home. Lady Sun attempted to bring Liu Bei's son Liu Shan along with her, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led their men to stop her and retrieved Liu Shan.
The Chronicles of Han and Jin (漢晉春秋) written by the Jin historian Xi Zuochi gives a similar account to the one recorded into the Zhao Yun Biezhuan.
Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were friendly towards each other in the beginning, but tensions between them gradually increased until the point of armed conflict around late 212. Liu Bei was initially stationed at Jiameng Pass (葭萌關; in present-day Zhaohua District, Guangyuan, Sichuan), where he was helping Liu Zhang defend the area from Zhang Lu. However, he turned against Liu Zhang later and attacked him. He ordered Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to lead reinforcements from Jing Province into Yi Province to help him, while Guan Yu remained behind to defend Jing Province.
The reinforcements marched along the Yangtze River and conquered the commanderies and counties in the surrounding areas. When they reached Jiangzhou, Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun to lead a separate force to attack Jiangyang Commandery (江陽郡; around present-day Neijiang, Sichuan) and take an alternate route, and later rendezvous with Liu Bei and the other armies outside Yi Province's capital, Chengdu. In 214, Liu Zhang gave up resistance and surrendered to Liu Bei, who gained control over Yi Province. Zhao Yun was appointed as General of the Assisting Army (翊軍將軍).
After taking Yi Province, Liu Bei held a discussion on how to distribute the households in Chengdu and the fields outside the city among his followers because he wanted to reward them for their efforts in the campaign. Zhao Yun objected:
"In the past, Huo Qubing said that there was no home until the Xiongnu had been eliminated. The enemies of the state in our time include not only the Xiongnu, so we shouldn't be complacent. Only when the Empire has been completely pacified and the people have reverted to their peaceful lives, can we truly enjoy ourselves. The war in Yi Province has just ended, so the people in the province should have their lands and homes returned to them. As of now, the people should be allowed to continue their livelihoods in peace, and later we can impose taxes and conscription on them. In this way, we will earn their favour and support."
Liu Bei heeded Zhao Yun's advice.
In late 219, Sun Quan broke the Sun-Liu alliance by sending his general Lü Meng to launch a stealth invasion of Liu Bei's territories in southern Jing Province while Guan Yu was away at the Battle of Fancheng against Cao Cao's forces. Guan Yu was later captured in an ambush and executed on Sun Quan's order when he refused to surrender.
Following Cao Cao's death in March 220, his son and successor Cao Pi usurped the throne from Emperor Xian later that year, ended the Eastern Han dynasty, and established the state of Wei with himself as the new emperor. In 221, Liu Bei declared himself emperor and founded the state of Shu to challenge Wei's legitimacy. In the same year, Sun Quan pledged allegiance to Cao Pi and agreed to become a vassal under Wei; in return, Cao Pi granted him the title "King of Wu".
Liu Bei bore a grudge against Sun Quan for the loss of Jing Province and wanted to attack Sun Quan. Zhao Yun attempted to dissuade him by saying:
"The real enemy of the State is Cao Cao, not Sun Quan. We should eliminate Wei first, then Wu will surrender on its own. Cao Cao is already dead but his son Cao Pi has usurped the throne. You should follow the people's will by conquering Guanzhong and then move across the Wei River to attack the treacherous villain. Righteous people who live in the east of Hangu Pass will certainly welcome your army with supplies and horses. You shouldn't ignore Wei for the moment and wage war against Wu first. Once the war starts, it can't be stopped."
Liu Bei ignored Zhao Yun's advice and proceeded with his quest for vengeance by personally leading a military campaign against Sun Quan. He left Zhao Yun behind to guard Jiangzhou.
In October 222, Liu Bei suffered a devastating defeat at the Battle of Xiaoting against Sun Quan's forces, and was forced to retreat to Baidicheng. By the time Zhao Yun showed up with reinforcements at Yong'an, Sun Quan's forces had given up on pursuing Liu Bei and retreated back to Wu.
After Liu Bei died in June 223, his son Liu Shan succeeded him as the emperor of Shu, with the Imperial Chancellor Zhuge Liang serving as regent because Liu Shan was still underage at the time. Following his coronation, Liu Shan appointed Zhao Yun as Central Protector of the Army (中護軍) and General Who Attacks the South (征南將軍), and enfeoffed him as the Marquis of Yongchang Village (永昌亭侯). He promoted Zhao Yun to the position of General Who Guards the East (鎮東將軍) later.
In 227, Zhao Yun moved to the staging area at Hanzhong Commandery to join Zhuge Liang, who had mobilised military forces from throughout Shu in preparation for a large-scale military campaign against Shu's rival state, Wei.
In the spring of 228, Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to lead a detachment of troops to Ji Valley (箕谷) and pretend to attack Mei County (郿縣; southeast of present-day Fufeng County, Shaanxi) via Xie Valley (斜谷). Their mission was to distract and hold the Wei general Cao Zhen's attention, while Zhuge Liang led the Shu main army to attack Mount Qi (祁山; the mountainous regions around present-day Li County, Gansu).
Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi lost to Cao Zhen at the battle in Ji Valley because Zhuge Liang had given them command of the weaker soldiers while he led the better troops to attack Mount Qi. Nevertheless, Zhao Yun managed to rally his men into putting up a firm defence as they retreated, thus minimising their losses.
After the Shu forces managed to retreat back to Hanzhong, Zhao Yun was demoted to the position of General Who Guards the Army (鎮軍將軍) as punishment for his defeat at Ji Valley. During this time, Zhuge Liang asked Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi: "When our troops withdrew from Jieting, they were very disorganised. However, those who retreated from Ji Valley were orderly. Why is it so?" Deng Zhi replied: "(Zhao) Yun personally led the rearguard. He ensured that our troops retreated in an orderly manner and left no equipment behind."
As Zhao Yun still had some silk left in his unit, Zhuge Liang wanted to distribute it among the troops to raise their morale. However, Zhao Yun disagreed: "The campaign was a failure, so why should rewards be given out? Please store the silk in the official treasury now and distribute it among the men later during the tenth month as a season gift for winter." Zhuge Liang heeded Zhao Yun's suggestion.
Zhao Yun died in 229. Zhao was posthumously honoured as "Marquis Shunping" (順平侯; Shùnpíng hóu) by Liu Shan in April or May 261.
During Liu Bei's reign, only Fa Zheng received posthumous honours. In Liu Shan's time, only three consecutive heads of government Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi received posthumous titles. Later, Liu Shan also posthumously honoured Chen Zhi, whom he favoured, and Xiahou Ba, a Wei general who defected to Shu. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were also awarded posthumous titles by Liu Shan as well. At the time, it was a great honour for a person to receive a posthumous title.
Liu Shan's imperial edict for awarding Zhao Yun his posthumous title read: "Zhao Yun followed the Late Emperor and he made outstanding contributions. I was young then and experienced many difficulties, but I relied on his loyalty and faithfulness to get out of danger. I bestow this posthumous name on him to recognise him for his meritorious service and also because there were others who advised me to do so."
The name of Zhao Yun's posthumous title was suggested by Jiang Wei and others - shun (順; shùn; literally "obey / follow") because he was virtuous and kind, ping (平; píng; literally "peace / pacify") because he performed his duties up to standard and overcame chaos, so shun and ping became "Shunping".
Character Image in Fate/Liber Novus: The Zhao Yun summoned is a mix of the many legends and folklore which exaggerated his actual historical feats, while his mind is that of the actual historical Zhao Yun. While the Servant himself isn't sure if any of those stories about him are true or not, he believes that his abilities are just way too overpowered, although he accepts it regardless.

Abilities~
A quite high quality Servant to have. His skills and parameters are quite high as a result of his double class. The warrior-type Servant who can equal Yamato Takeru, Heracles, Rostam, Achilles, and Cú Chulainn in battle. He's one of the few who is capable of killing Scáthach.
As a Double-Classed Servant, the mana required to maintain him is high, so no normal mage could keep up with him.
Class Skills~
Double Summon: A+: At this rank he posseses the capabilities of both a Lancer and Saber, with Noble Phantasms included.
Magic Resistance: B.
Riding: B.
Personal Skills~
Bravery: A+.
Rising Dragon: EX: In a way similar to the Innocent Monster skill. This skill was born due to the many exaggerations of his legend and feats, therefore Zhao Yun has now his strength, skills, and martial arts prowess soaring as if he were a true rising dragon. It is the reason why his parameters are high, and can only increase even more the more he's in combat. Game Effects; Increases own attack for 3 turns. Enhances own Arts and Buster performances for 3 turns. Grants self Invicibility for 1 turn, 3 times.
Five Tiger Generals of Shu: A+: An skill shared with those who had been lauded as the Five Tiger Generals of Shu. This skill contains Tactics, Eye of the Mind(True), and Command of the Strategist. Game Effects; Increases party's attack for 3 turns. Increases party's NP damage for 3 turns. Fills NP gauge by 39%.
Noble Phantasm~
(It is a blue hue instead of red)
Rising Dragon of Changshan~Peerless Under the Heaven and Above Earth: Anti-Unit(Self): EX: The crystallization of the many martial arts prowess that Zhao Yun had been lauded for. As also for always charging ahead alone against hundreds of soldiers and never losing a single battle he was in. This Noble Phantasm greately increases his parameters for a short time as long as it is activated. While it has been registered as an 'Anti-Unit' Noble Phantasm, it gives Zhao Yun the Strength and power of an 'Anti-Army' Noble Phantasm, kinda like an boosted version of the normal Mana Burst skill as an azure aura which takes the form of a dragon covers his entire body, thus gaining the qualities of a dragon. Game Effects; Deals heavy damage to all enemies. Increases own NP damage for 1 turn. Enhances own Buster performance for 1 turn. Buster NP.
Shore Edge Spear~The Azure Fang: Anti-Army: A: This spear in legends had made an unnamed appearance in the Sanguozhi Pinghua. The weapon's revered namesake means that it "has none surpassing it, even in the heavenly sea of stars." Measuring in at a length of nine chi(approximately three meters or teen feet in modern convensions). Zhao Yun is said to have wielded it with magnificent skill. If one is to believe the tales, Zhao Yun had used the same spear to defeat Zhang Fei in a duel. As a Noble Phantasm, it's cutting and piercing power can break most of defenses. Having been able to pierce and cut through many soldiers and notorious heroes of the Three Kingdoms period, he feels it is superior to any other weapon in the aspect of its thrust and cutting, allowing it to pierce hearts and cut down bodies with every strike he makes. This spear has the ability to create a Reality Marble which allows him to pierce through any kind of magecraft protection or alterations. This would be his primary Noble Phantasm if he were to be a normal Lancer.
Qinggang Jian~Treasured Sword of Extreme Sharpness: Anti-Unit: C: It was a sword that was owned by Cao Cao that appears in the novel of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. This prized sword's blade its so sharp that it could cut any metal as if they were mere mud. Cao Cao had Xiahou En to act as his sword bearer, thus entrusting the Qianggang Jian to him during the Battle of Changban. But Zhao Yun encountered Xiahou En and killed him and took over the sword from him. The sword is capable of cutting through all kinds of steels, especially Noble Phantasm weapons, however, better known weapons like Excalibur, Dainsleif, Tyrfing, Gungnir, or the Tenka-Goken of Japan. While this would be his primary Noble Phantasm, had he been summoned as a Saber, the true power of this Noble Phantasm is downgraded as a Anti-Unit, as its true power is an Anti-Army. This is due to Zhao Yun not being the true owner of this Noble Phantasm, instead being Cao Cao. Had the summoning gone right with Cao Cao, this would have been his Noble Phantasm alongside the Seven Star Sword.
Summoning: "I am the Dragon Lancer, Zhao, followed by Yun, my courtesy name is Zilong. I shall devote my entire existance to you, Master."
My Room comments: 1: "Master, if you are ready for anything then there's nothing to fear."
2 :I'm a warrior through and through. I mind not the how cruel or the how long your battles are, I shall never forsake you."
3: "The relationship between Master and Servant's response may differ from whoever Servant you ask. For me... I guess it is the same as a warrior serving their lord, isn't it?"
Cao Cao: "Ugh... I'm sorry, Master, but I have to go now!(swords were impaled in front of him) Damn, I was too late... H-Hello, Cao Cao-dono, how are you? We might have been enemies on the past, but now we serve under the same Master, don't you think is for the best to leave old grudges behind? You know that? Great! H-Huh? T-To give you back your sword? C-Cao Cao-dono, you know that is impossible due to the fact I'm not a Saber and also be aware that I'm a Servant now!(He says with a nervous and strained smile)"
To Zhao Yun Cao Cao is an existance meant to be feared, as Cao Cao's talents are fearsome enough to be called frightening by both friend or foe. Even Zhao Yun in his current Servant form claims, "Cao Cao-dono... He's someone I don't want to face as an enemy if I can help it..."
El Melloi-II: "Oh... Please forgive me, sir mage from a foreign land. As his old comrade who fought alongside him in many battles, I ask for your forgiveness for the laziness of lord Zhuge Liang and now being forced to do his bidding."
Zhou Yu: "Hoh? But if isn't Zhou Yu-dono, huh? Let me ask, do you take interest in playing mahjong with me?"
They were enemies in the past, who served under different lords, both noted to be "pretty boys" in their era. Zhao Yun mocks Zhou Yu by saying "You're just as short as always." Which Zhou Yu takes a great offense to. But even so, they respect one another and are willingly to work together as Servants serving under the same Master.
Liu Bei(Saber): "Liu Bei... There was once a time when I served you with all my strengths, but now it's different. I'm pretty sure that you're aware that if I had to chose between my current lord and you I would chose the former, right? You know that and you are encouraging it? Whoa... I guess you're not bad as the one that I know."
Liu Bei(Rider): "Liu Bei, the one that I served in life... Do not worry, Master. I now serve you, so I will punish him for whatever wrongdoing he does."
Liu Bei was the lord that Zhao Yun served in life. While he's on friendly terms with the Saber Liu Bei, that same cannot be said about Rider Liu Bei. Because Zhao Yun distrust him greately.
Guan Yu: "Lord Guan Yu... To be standing right beside you is... I have no words but to feel an honor in fighting alongside you again."
Ma Chao: "Lord Meqing, please do not get too ahead of yourself. After all(He then makes an dark smirk), we don't want to have another strangling incident like you did before, right?(He then lets out a hearty laugh) Hahahahahaha! Sorry, sorry! It was just a black joke, you don't need to make such a devastated and sad look!"
Mash Kyrielight: "Mash-sama, how are you? Why I'm calling you like that? Isn't that obvious?(he lets out an teasing smirk) Because it is fitting for the one who's going to become our lord's first wife. Hahahaha! Sorry, sorry! Your reddened face covered in small tears is quite cute! I'm sure our Master would say the same!"
Prince of Lanling/Yan Qing: "Both the Prince of Lanling, and one of the 108 outlaws. Persons who lived in eras ahead of mine. I had to admit that they are quite the lookers, which makes me feel inferior. Huh? I... I'm just as pretty as them? I... don't know what to say to that..."
??? "I see... She's here... No... It is for the best that we remain the way we are now. After all, I won't even know what to say to her now that she has forgotten me."
Event: "A great battle is approaching... I must charge ahead. Hm? Aren't events like that, though?"
Birthday: "Hmm... I don't know what to actually do for you in your birthday, Master. Maybe some show of martial arts? Or maybe trying to buy something you'll like... What is it you wish for me to do?"
Holy Grail: "The Holy Grail... Maybe with it I can... No, it's nothing. I'm just trying to have some thoughts erased."
Bond Lines: 1: "Whatever battlefield we might be in, both my spear and sword shall be for your use, Master."
2: "Master, had you ever thought in becoming a king? No? Hahahaha! I'm sorry, it was a silly question, don't pay it any mind at all."
3: "Once your journey is over, it is pretty obvious that you'll part ways with all your Servants and maybe even Mash. When that day comes you can look at both your back and the horizon, to remember all the battles and the bonds you made with not only Servants, but with those you met in your journey."
4: "Why did I say what I said before? Because I don't want you to later have any regrets. Humans are not such a simple creatures like Sion-dono believes they are. I do sincerily believe that even if you found joy in battle, you'll still be able to return to your normal life."
5: "Here I am... Speaking of future stuff when we don't know what will happen. But even so. I am proud to be your Servant. This will be where the name 'Marquis Shunping' shall be used for the sake of you, Master."
Damage by Noble Phantasm: "Retreat is not an option!!"
Regular Damage: 1: "It won't stop me!"
2: "Ugh!!"
3: "Pitiful!"
Defeat: 1: "This is...!!"
2: "The dragon... has been cut down..."
3: "I guess this is... my... fate..."
Victory: 1: "Cry, scream, and lament! For the Rising Dragon has emerged victorious!"
2: "Hear it! The roar of my soul!"
3: "This victory belongs to Chaldea!"
Noble Phantasm: 1: "No stopping(His whole body burst into an thick azure aura), no retreating! For I am Zhao Yun!(With a powerful step, he leaps towards the enemies while the aura takes the form of a dragon) My might, my power! Shall break through the heavens!! For I am, The Rising Dragon of Changshan!!(Like a meteor, he pierced all the enemies with his spear and sword)."
2: "Behold my might and power!(His whole body burst into a thick azure aura) Try to stop if you can!(With a powerful step, he leaps towards the enemies while the aura takes the form of a dragon) But you'll be trampled by a great dragon! That dragon is I!(Like a meteor, he pierced all the enemies with his spear and sword) The Rising Dragon of Changshan!"
Voice: Yūki Kaji.
Other qualifying classes: Saber, Rider.
Finally, my first Servant in the Vol. 2 of Fate/Liber Novus! In all honesty I didn't think it would be Zhao Yun, but hey, what'll you know what will finish first?
In any case, vote him or whatever. Because this is a proof that Fate/Liber Novus won't get in the under. There's also some improvements, things added in this book unlike with the first volume of FLN(Short of Fate/Liber Novus if that wasn't obvious).
With that said.
AriesStar337, over and out.
