Lore

CHARACTER INFO

The great hero of the Mahabharata, an epic, ancient Indian poem.
He is the rival of Arjuna, the main hero of Mahabharata, and his half brother.
By the time Karna faced his half-brother he was unable to move due to multiple layers of curses, and Arjuna took advantage and murdered him in cold blood.

BOND 1

Height: 178cm
Weight: 65kg
Origin: Mahabharata
Region: India
Alignment: Lawful Good
Gender: Male
He can also be summoned as an Archer or Rider.

BOND 2

Karna was born of Kunti, a human girl, and Surya, the God of Sun.
After Karna's birth, he was abandoned by his mother Kunti.
He was adopted by a coachman, and raised as the man's own son.
However, Karna's potential and heroism could not remain hidden.

BOND 3

After Kunti abandoned Karna, she gave birth to the five brothers of the royal Pandu family.
The third brother, Arjuna, would grow up to be Karna's rival.
Karna was later adopted into the Kuru family, the rival of the Pandu family.

BOND 4

There were many curses and obstacles that Karna had to face before battling Arjuna.
Cursed by a Brahmin.
Deceived by Indra.
And by his mother's wish, he could not fight anyone other than Arjuna.
He accepted it all.

BOND 5

According to the legend, Karna gave his golden armor to Indra.
In exchange for giving up and dismantling his armor, Karna received a lance powerful enough to slay even gods.
It is said this lance of light cannot be wielded by even the King of Gods.
When this lance is clad with crimson blood, one strike, just one strike, is said to be able to cleanse all impurities.

--Vasavi Shakti.

Clear Interlude: Heroic Spirit of the Charity

Karna accepts everything as "it happens," and is a Servant who's extremely generous.
He treats everyone equally, and respects everyone equally.
Although it was never publicly acknowledged due to prejudice, Karna's caliber as a martial artist and dignity as a person can be ranked one of the highest amongst all Servants.

Although it's quite impossible, if you are in a contract with this Servant and still can't win, then either you are not fit for combat, or you have issues handling elites.

CHARACTER INFO

インド古代叙事詩「マハーバーラタ」の大英雄。マハーバーラタの中心的英雄であるアルジュナのライバルであり、異父兄弟でもある。数々の呪いによって身動きが取れなくなった彼を、アルジュナは謀殺に近い形で仕留めた。

BOND 1

身長／体重：178cm・65kg
出典：マハーバーラタ
地域：インド
属性：秩序・善　　性別：男性
アーチャー、ライダーなどにも該当。

BOND 2

カルナは人間の娘クンティーと太陽神スーリヤの下に生まれた半神の英雄である。しかし、彼は生まれてすぐにクンティーに見捨てられ、御者の息子として育てられた。だが、その英雄としての資質は隠し通せるものではない。

BOND 3

母クンティーはカルナを捨てた後、王家パーンドゥの五兄弟を産んだ。その中の三男が、カルナにとって終生のライバルとなるアルジュナである。成長したカルナはパーンドゥ家と対立するクル家の養子となった。

BOND 4

だが、カルナがアルジュナと戦うまでには余りに多くの呪いと障害があった。バラモンから呪いを受け、インドラからは欺かれ、母クンティーの訴えに応じ、アルジュナ以外とは戦わないと誓わされ、それでもカルナは全てを受け入れた。

BOND 5

インドラに鎧を譲り渡した逸話から、カルナは黄金の鎧を分解、破棄する事で神殺しの槍をその手に宿す。神々の王ですら扱えきれなかった光の槍。全身を剥離の血に染めて放つ一撃はあらゆる不浄を一掃する。

────日輪よ、死に随え。

???

カルナはあらゆることを「それもあり」と受け入れる、極めて寛大なサーヴァントである。彼は万人に対して平等であり、また、万人を“それぞれの花”として敬っている。多くの偏見から決して公には認められなかった武術の技量と高潔な精神を持つカルナは、格と言う点でも全サーヴァント中一、二を争う。

……ありえない話だとは思うが、このサーヴァントと契約して勝利できないマスターがいるとしたら、それは戦いに向かない、トップランクに困った性質の人間だろう。

CHARACTER INFO

A great hero from the ancient epic poem from India, "Mahabharata". The rival of Arjuna, the central hero of the Mahabharata, as well as his half-brother by a different father. Upon becoming unable to move due to many curses, he was brought down by Arjuna in a manner similar to deliberate murder.

BOND 1

Height: 178cm
Weight: 65kg
Origin: Mahabharata
Region: India
Alignment: Lawful Good
Gender: Male
He also qualifies for an Archer or Rider.

BOND 2

Karna is a demigod hero born from the human girl Kunti and the Sun God Surya. However, right after being born, he was abandoned by Kunti and raised as the son of a coachman. Still, his attributes as a hero are not the kind of thing that can remain hidden.

After casting away Karna, his mother Kunti gave birth to the five sons of the Pandu royal house. The third among them is Arjuna, someone who would become a lifelong rival for Karna. Upon growing old, Karna became an adopted child of the Kuru House that was antagonic to the Pandu House.

BOND 3

However, there were too many curses and obstacles before Karna could fight Arjuna. Receiving a curse from Brahman, deceived by Indra, forced to swear to not fight anyone other than Arjuna in response to the appeal of his mother Kunti; but even still Karna accepted everything.

BOND 4

From the anecdotes of handing over his armor to Indra, Karna is entrusted to a god-slaying spear by dismantling, tearing up and discarding the golden armor. A spear of light that even the king of gods was not able to handle properly. The single strike released by peeling off his whole body and being dyed in blood purges all sorts of impurities.

BOND 5

Karna is a highly tolerant Servant who accept all matters as "that is also valid". He is impartial to all people and, also, honors all people as "their own respective flowers". Possessing martial prowess and noble mentality there were never openly recognized due to many prejudices, Karna contends for highest place among all Servants even on the matter of character.

...I believe this to be an unlikely argument, but if there is a Master who cannot win even after forming a contract with this Servant, that would be a human with top-ranking hopeless nature, unsuited for combat.
