Observe the might of Ozymandias in DEATH BATTLE![]
(Cue: Pharaoh's Temple)
Necro: Ancient Egypt, one of the greatest powers of the early world. Ruled by dozens of great Pharaohs, Egypt is well known for their architecture and military might. But above all, stood a single Pharaoh. The one who brought peace with the Hittites, brought Egypt into a period of prosperity by means of cultural exchange. One of their greatest generals, the man famous for marrying the most beautiful woman and fathering a hundred children, known for loving his people and for being loved in return. The man who ruled for over seventy years, and constructed the Pyramids that would one day be hailed as wonders of the world. The King of Kings, Ozymandias.
Mercer: Ozymandias was the third Pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, and was friends with the well known Hebrew Prophet Moses during his life. While Ozymandias would marry many women in his life, he cherished his first wife, Nefertari above all else. However, Moses would soon prove to be the greatest opponent Ozymandias would face during his reign when Moses denounced the Egyptian Gods and began to preach the teachings of the Hebrew God, as well as calling for the release of the Hebrew people, who were at this time kept as slaves to the Egyptian people.
Necro: At first, Ozymandias would refuse. In response, Moses would trigger the Ten Plagues of Egypt, which without the interference of Ozymandias and the Ten Egyptian Gods, would have destroyed Egypt. When the Tenth Plague claimed the life of Ozymandias' first born son, Amun, he freed the Hebrews. Ozymandias was not angry at Moses, but at his son's death and one of his advisors convinced him to send a legion of troops after Moses, who parted the Red Sea so that the Hebrews could escape. Upon seeing the sea itself obey Moses, Ozymandias let his former closest friend and surrogate brother go.
Mercer: Ozymandias would go on to build the Pyramids and reconstruct Egypt, before finally dying in his old age. As he lay dying, Ozymandias cursed the truth of death, and hated his mortal body's powerlessness, claiming that "No man in the world grieves as I grieve upon the brink of death." With those final words, the greatest Pharoah Egypt would ever see, died.
Necro: However, Ozymandias' death was just the beginning of a new, arguably even more important stage of his life. Thanks to the impact left on the world by the greatest Pharaoh, Ozymandias' name was inscribed in the Throne of Heroes, a codex that contains the names and legends of notable figures of legend and history. Thanks to this, Ozymandias could be resummoned to the mortal world as a Servant, a high ranking spiritual familiar with the purpose of guiding humanity towards a better future. Servants are split into seven different main classes, of which Ozymandias can be summoned as a Rider, a class for those who were talented in, well, riding beasts or vehicles.
Mercer: Ozymandias would first be summoned in 1991, to participate in that year's Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail War is a ritual in which seven mages each summon a servant in order to fight for the right to use the Holy Grail, an omnipotent wish granting device. Upon his summoning, he quickly took stock of the world and decided that he could save it from itself by ruling over it once again. With this goal in mind, Ozymandias would challenge the other six servants to face him all at once!
Necro: As to be expected from the greatest Pharaoh of Egypt, Ozymandias has the abilities to achieve his dreams! The King of Kings has several skills at his disposal. Thanks to being summoned as a Rider, Ozymandias has access to the natural class abilities of a Rider, those being Magic Resistance, ranked B, which provides him with flat out immunity to even greater modern magecraft, which is able to warp stuff like time and space with ease. Next is his Riding skill, ranked A+. This simply means that Ozymandias is supernaturally good at riding any vehicle or beast, save for dragons.
Mercer: Thanks to being child and incarnation of the sun of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God, Ozymandias has access to Divinity, ranked B. This skill allows Ozymandias to reduce the effects of Purge Defenses, which are effectively invulnerability on a grand scale.
Necro: Aside from his class abilities, Ozymandias possesses several personal skills. First off is Charisma, ranked B. This skill bolsters the effectiveness and raises the morale of Ozymandias' team members or troops, and can convince those who follow their leader through fear or intimidation to switch sides and fight for him.
Mercer: Thanks to being a royal, Ozymandias has access to Imperial Privilege, ranked A. With this skill, Ozymandias can acquire the ability to use skills that he doesn't naturally possess. For example, if Ozy found himself in a situation where he needed more tactical expertise or some kind of martial ability, like swordsmanship or martial arts, this skill would allow him to gain such abilities for as long as he required them.
Necro: Finally, Ozymandias has access to Divine Protection of the Sun God, ranked A+. This skill means that the Ra watches over Ozymandias and can offer him protection in various different fashions, most notably when paired with the effects of one of Ozymandias' Noble Phantasms.
