Name: Yumiko Kawajima

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Come on, then~!
Standing at a decent 5'7", Yumiko's swapped out her regular shrine maiden-esque garb for more... Contemporary clothes.
Like a T-shirt and jeans, for example. The usual.

Personality: With boundless energy and an eye for the unnatural, Yumiko's not the kind of person to lay low and spy on people. She's quite energetic, often times rushing off to drag whoever it is that has her attention for the moment to wherever it is that she so pleases. She isn't really aggressive as much as she is enthusiastic, and most of the time her actions have little to no undertones of malice. In fact, she's kind of amicable to most people that aren't complete jerks. However, her personal desire for equality has led to a more bitter side of Yumiko to develop, one that knows that the world is flawed and wants to overhaul it as a whole to resolve that issue.

Skills: Given that she has to know how water and light reflect and reflect differently under different circumstances, Yumiko has thus learned every facet of light particle-wave duality and their interaction with other surfaces; her illusions are also incredibly lifelike because of her interest in photography, which also led to her bringing along a camera for the trip over. She's quite a good cook (and she has to be, given how inheritance work and all that) and can back a mean punch for any thugs brave enough to cross her path.

Abilities: As a third-generation magus from a branch family, Yumiko's magic circuits are relatively widespread, but her offensive capabilities are incredibly weak as a whole. In fact, she specializes in using paper charms in order to manipulate both water and light to a great extent. She also has the ability to create barriers that can mitigate impacts strong enough to rend a normal man unconscious- or worse. This is limited by the number of charms she has, however; once her supply runs dry, she's basically a sitting duck. The larger the scale of magecraft, the more charms it requires. She cannot stack spells one on top of the other, but she can layer up to two barriers at once.

Brief Backstory: Yumiko comes from a small branch family of magi who have diverged from the old main branch in terms of style and application; though by the definition of lineage they have not inherited the Magic Crest, they HAVE learned the clan's core teachings, and as such have derived their own form of magic from it. Yumiko herself is a third-generation magus, having inherited her abilities from her mother at a young age and has striven to train them ever since. The branch family, however, has been looked upon as nothing by tools by the main family, which Yumiko had hated ever since she was aware of the fact. When the news of a new Grail War met the family's ears, the main branch immediately got to work setting up their designated heir to win them the coveted wish. She, however, had different plans; convincing her parents to send her off in secret under the guise of studying abroad, Yumiko flew to Redrock in hopes of fixing what she thought was flawed with her family as a whole.

Name: Kazuma Nakamura
•Age:24

•Gender: Male

•Appearance: Honour won't help you when you're dead.

•Personality: Kazuma is not the type of person that cares for honour or glory. He is the type of person that would rather stab his opponents in the back than look them in the eyes, and rarely acts without thinking things through. He is coldly analytical, and keeps his composure in battle easily as he has complete confidence in the success of his plans, always seeming to have a backup. If he is truly caught off-guard, then that is the only time that his calm will disappear, and he will be consumed by anger.
Kazuma can often be arrogant, but will not put himself at risk for it. While he enjoys a good monologue, he tends to save them until after he thinks the battle is done. His arrogance also means that he considers himself above non-mages, and is perfectly willing to sacrifice them for the sake of the grail.

•Skills: Kazuma is an exceptional planner and strategist, skills that he developed from study during his solitary childhood as part of the Nakamura bloodline. He is also a talented marksman, which he uses together with his Magecraft when he is forced to fight on his own. As well as this, he has spent a lot of time reading up on history and as such knows of many heroes, knowledge which could serve him well in the Grail War.

•Abilities: Kazuma has an affinity to Wind, which he directs into focused and incredibly fast blasts of kinetic energy. He uses this in a variety of different ways, moving himself quickly around the battlefield or emitting shockwaves to drive back his opponents in close combat, and accelerating the bullets from his pistol to incredible speeds or changing their flight direction, making them very difficult to dodge.

•Brief Backstory: Kazuma’s family are not exactly respected within the Magus community. They are looked down on by many and pitied by the rest, which wasn’t exactly an ideal situation. The main cause of this is that their roots came from a mage seen as ‘deviant’ from the beliefs of the Magi. In other words, a heretic. They were always left mostly alone, but eventually their opponents began to grow bolder, and word reached them of a plan for them to be 'removed' shortly after Kazuma's birth.

As such, they retreated from the community almost entirely after he was born, teaching him Magecraft and how to use it with modern technology rather than the old-fashioned teachings of the Magi. Inevitably, however, Kazuma started to resent his family’s status, slowly growing to despise the Magi. He began to think of the other Mages as being behind their time, just waiting to die out. Once he heard of the Grail, he left to join the war, determined to win the Grail and drag the mages into the modern world kicking and screaming.
