Name:Publius Horatius Cocles
Title:One Eyed Man/Cocles. Bravery Made Flesh.
Class:Saber
Allegiance:Lawful Good

Appearance: A one-eyed man beautiful in form as though sculpted from marble to look like an ideal warrior. His appearance is obviously not that of his proportions or appearance in life as he takes the form of the form of courage for Rome. Finally his head is that of a Lion. A singular all-encompassing eye that stare with a judging and evaluating gaze stands out among his face while his mane is kept well in order, large and contrasting with his hairless body. A crown evocative of the murals of Rome blends with his fur, strands wrapped around it as though muscles around a skeletal frame. The military symbol of protection as such seems as though it is born of Saber’s body himself. He is a beauty made and crafted, shaped by the virtue he exhibited and his legend, not born. His eyes hold a fire and his lip parts easily in great emotion. Holding a Gladius and a rounded brass shield it is quite easily deductible that he is of the Rome. For garb he prefers something less constricting, a well plumed helmet that declares his presence boldly, adjusted to fit his new head. A thin simple cloth through his body shows covering his chest with a harness from which he hangs anything he must keep on hand that cannot simply be materialized.

Stats
Strength: A
Endurance: A+
Agility: C
Magic: B
Luck: A+ (Defiance of the inevitable fate that comes with such a glorious last stand. In a way he proves himself superior to those with similar legends by not only accomplishing what he set out to do, but also surviving to enjoy the glory he has earned. The doubled modifier comes in effect during similar such circumstances of fate that must be defied or when Saber struggles against a seemingly lost cause.)

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: B
Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for Saber to be affected.

Riding: C rank
Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts. Because he does not have an anecdote of riding anything special or worth mentioning, he receives a low rank in this Skill for a Saber.

Personal Skills:

Symbol of Bravery: A+
A skill born of a combination of Innocent Monster and Bravery.

Known as a paragon of Bravery, Horatius is one of the symbols of Roman Bravery and could even be said to be that which personifies it. Earning the status with valour in battle and sacrifice for the sake of Rome he held the bridge for the sake of the republic and the soldiers of his army. Horaitus fought in defense alone, fighting to allow other soldiers to escape then bidding those with him to tear down the bridge behind him for Rome's sake.

Prevents effects from mental interference, and changes his appearance to that of a lion. A peerless paragon, a personification of the virtue. Servant Saber cannot be cowed or be ruled by fear or madness. STR and END are increased due to Lions being a symbol of power. Additionally the connotation of execution through means of being fed to lions being a part of common perception of Rome adds the property of “Damnatio ad Bestias” to Saber, causing him to deal additional damage to those of an evil alignment, and Christians as an executioner. This effect is weakened against saints to who are attributed tales of pacifying lions or subduing them when faced with such executions.

Finally one of the key points of his legend is that his bravery shone in the midst of cowardiace and fear. Where he stood two other men joined him, struck by shame as they saw the proud and unrelenting figure of the courage of Rome. In the face of such bravery one's own lack is sorely felt. Those around him are given Courage (False) at a C+ rank, allowing for mental interference that would have succeeded to instead be resisted, or for already established mental interference to be negated, at the cost of lowering morale. While it only is a sense of shame that is able to protect against effects of the C rank or below rank, the + modifier applies during effects of Fear, allowing one to stand up to effects of up to a A rank. Although unlike the certain cry of a Amazonness that evokes the blood of a war god that also provides Bravery it is sometimes possible for the sense of shame to linger beyond the presence of Saber. Shame is a bitter, painful thing, something that stains one pride and sinks deeply. As such presented with such a situation again the sense of shame may also reignite, bringing forth to stand against opposing effects even without Saber's presence.

To have to be reminded of courage and shown to stand up firmly by another is likely even greater a shame for those who are heroes, yet the role of Saber is he who represents and shows courage. Is it not natural for him to shine as the brightest star in that situation then?

Protection of Genius: B
Spirits that reside within and protect a river, mountain and other places of nature, spirits that protected households, nations, specific positions, or even individuals. In a sense a spirit is that which protects, even something as specific as one’s morality or ideals, as shown through Socrates’s demon that he cites as a voice that forbids him from certain actions in his Apology. Even certain individuals can form a Genius, and positions, as such the idea of a servant forming a Genius of sorts not unfound.

As an existence is a protection, and given the role of being the guardian spirit of his master, Saber takes upon the role of a shield for his master.

As this familiar who is meant to watch over and protect his master, through the means of Tutelary assumption of the position of his master’s servant, Saber is able to give his protection to his master, offering his body to protect his master from blows in a protection similar to the recreation of a certain warrior monk’s body. However this is not a Noble Phantasm, but rather an approximation given form by the status of a spirit that defends the master. It is a dual existence with Saber, causing him to suffer the damage and effects of anything he blocks.

While a seemingly extremely powerful defense, it is one that is activated by the Master themselves, wielding Saber as though they were their weapon, and as such cannot protect the master against effects that they do not choose to defend against, or attacks that they are unaware of. Furthermore even as a Heroic Spirit who is famed for defense and a servant with high defensive capabilities this defense nevertheless causes damage, and could be fashioned into a weakness by forcing Saber into a fight while also protecting his master from harm by offering himself as a sacrificial shield, or by targeting the master with effects that would be dangerous or crippling to Saber. It is also worth noting that it also increases the energy consumption of Saber to manifest this protection.

Essentially a skill that protects the master, but also leaves the master as a potential risk as a proxy for means to harm Saber.

There is a requirement to establish such a connection, as despite being related this is not synonymous with the contract between Servant and Master.

Battle Continuation: B+ Fighting on until the bridge was dismantled so the enemy could not advance. Horatius then managed to even swim away under the barrage of enemy missiles despite taking injuries that would maim and cripple him, escaping in a way that the enemy could not follow.

This reduces the hampering effect of heavy and medium injuries, as though they were medium and light injuries, and makes light injuries a non-factor in effecting the combat capabilities of the servant. Even in a extremely wounded state Saber can continue to fight, although with reduced performance.

Furthermore a decisive fatal blow is required for death to encroach upon the servant. Death can be staved away and ignored for a short time should fatal damage be sustained, although for a shorter time than a A rank Battle Continuation holder.

The ability to retreat from battle even when injured is also increased. The + additional bonus is occurred for the sake of retreating via the method of water, allowing one to travel through bodies of water without penalty. Rather than a property that is part of Saber’s own capabilities this is more representative of the assumed mercy of Tiberinius, the Genius of the Tiber River who has a history of spiriting away and helping those in need at his River. As such one could say it is akin to a minor blessing from an elemental.

Noble Phantasms:

Virgultum Ēnūtriēns Arma (Sapling’s Nurturing Shield) - Let my body raise you safe and well.
Anti-Unit(Self)/Barrier: A+ rank.
Targets: 1
Range: —

If the great Roman Empire at its height was the Great Tree that is represented by the spear of the founder, Romulus, then the body of Coceles is a shield that protects and nurtures the infant sapling that was the Roman Republic that would become the Great Tree. If Rome is the world then protecting Rome is equal to protecting a world.

Saber’s existence itself is the Scutum of Roma. It is because of Saber that Rome survived its infant state to become the empire it was destined to be. Akin to a hero who was a divine construct of the gods, this Noble Phantasm born of the sublimation of Saber’s status as the protector of Rome transforms him into a shield. When he fought he offered his very body as the protection of his nation, and so it is his body that takes the form of this Noble Phantasm, a psuedo-Divine Construct. Forming a great shield formed out of growing wood, it is a defense that can defend even a nation. However damage done to the shield is carried over to Servant Saber, and an attack that can “bring ruin” to a nation would leave him ruined in body and weakened. Such a shield would be shattered and even if Saber were to recover this Noble Phantasm would be destroyed and sealed.

Natus ex incrementum in Aprilis Legionum (Growth Born From The March of Legions)
Anti-Army: A+
Targets: 1-50
Range: 1-45

Another side of the sublimation of his status as a shield and defender of Rome and the one who allowed it to grow from its infant republic state to the all-encompassing empire of man. This is akin to another side of the same legend, like how a certain casuality-defying spear would become a thrown weapon that decimates armies.

Rather than a encroaching and overwhelming ocean of tree roots and branches like the founders spear of the beginning. It is more akin to the I of the original sin's ring of light.

Both utilizing the concept and converting the history of the growth of the Roman Empire, and its legions that both expanded and protected it into energy. It is an attack that creates a massive barrage of projectiles (Legions) that chase and hunt down those under its purview. While in raw power it is somewhat inferior in raw power in comparison to the greater holy and demonic swords of myth, the full sum of the hundreds of blasts can also form a projection of a massive lion’s head that could almost match them. If divided each blast is not enough to slay sturdy servants by their own, but the danger of this attack is in its versatility and the difficulty against defending such a strike. (By no [definitely is] means this is a rip off of the Lion’s Howl from the Tales series.)

Just as Rome grows and encompasses the world and humanity it is an attack that reaches all. The growth and unification of humanity. A growth that will consume and intake all that is within humanity's perception and world. It goes without saying that those existences who are beyond humanity's ability to understand or take in are existences that this Noble Phantasm cannot touch at all

Legend: An officer of the Roman Republic army in the late 6th century BC, a hero of the war against the Etruscians under Lars Porsena. It was at the battle for Pon Sublicius that he distinguished himself. Holding geat numerical superiority, the sheer presence of the Etruscian army cowed the Roman soldiers who did not even resist the Etruscian's preparations and setting of formations before them. After the Etruscians advanced, hoping to force a battle the already frightened Romans broke without even a single blade crossed. They ran for the bridge hoping to cross to save their own lives in a blind panic, not even thinking to oppose them. Finding such behavior to be deplorable, Horatius shamed two generals who turned to flee as well and enlisted them into holding the bridge to let the fleeing roman army pass. The three held off the great army until every soldier had crossed.

The only one with courage in the entire army, even when the generals called upon him to retreat now that the army had crossed he refused, citing the fact that the Etruscians could simply cross and advance without delay into Roman Lands. He called upon them to tear down the bridge and prevent the enemy from crossing. Although alone he fought and fought until finally he heard a shout that the work to destroy the bridge was done. He lept into the river below and swam, escaping with his life, his strength not leaving his arms despite his injuries. Finally he was taken to Rome, greeted by singing and admiration by the entire city. He was celebrated and awarded,and so despite his injuries, despite him throwing himself to certain doom he came out with a happy ending, having saved Rome from a sacking and allowing the city to survive. In a way he could be called the savior of the empire that was still in it's cradle, the republic that would grow to become the great civilization.

Name/Nickname/Titles:
Gabriel Johann Schultheiß

Gender:
Male

Age:
Legal age - 26
Real age - 23

Personality:
Calm and collected, Gabriel speaks with a formal tone and hardly ever loses his cool over something. He is a very goal oriented and focused person and extremely competitive and ambitious, and as his training dictates, has been trained to keep calm in most situations. The somewhat slender man prefers talk and civility over fighting, and prefers to talk things out instead of immediately charging in head first. That said, he is no stranger to violence. The SS trains well, and beats out any form of weakness one might have during training for the position.

Despite his amicability and openness, the harsh training the SS undergo have had somewhat of an effect on him. He absolutely hates insubordination and orders are to be followed without question, to the letter. At least, in theory. He is loathe to break any sort of rules, but he does understand that sometimes plans need to chance depending on the situation presented with them. Even so - he has been sent by the SS to oversee this operation, and will see it succeed and will suffer no insubordination. Insubordination and opponents will be met with ruthless brutality.

His feelings towards Germany and the current political climate is somewhat mixed, truthfully. He himself, questions the direction the country is in, but after seeing the absolutely deplorable conditions the Germans were forced to live in - and that he himself grew up in - after World War 1, he is hesitant to call it a bad thing.

Appearance:
With bright, blond hair and blue eyes, Gabriel is almost a perfect example of what the current ruling party in Germany wants in a soldier. Standing at just five foot seven, Gabriel's only slightly detracting factor is his somewhat slight build and eternally seeming youthful appearance that doesn't seem to boast much musculature. Even so though he quickly distinguished himself among both the SS.

He is particularly fond of a white and gold military suit, as it is a designation of his special status as a Magus of the SS as well as the technical commander of the current operation. It has the usual Insignia of the SS-TV on his collar. In all, his appearance is not exactly what one would expect of the ruthlessness of someone who works in the Death Camps.

Biography:
Born in 1916 in the middle of the Great War, Gabriel lost his parents towards the end of the war. As a result, he never knew his parents that well, just vague memories and recollections. However, luckily for him he was taken in by his grandparents that lived in Munich, where he quickly learned that he was what was known in a certain underground world as a 'Magus'. Still, his family was nowhere near a very notable family - compared to certain larger groups and more secretive societies, his family was compared to children playing with magic cards.

Still his Grandparents taught and so he learned Magecraft. Even so, it never played a particular large part in his life to start with. His grandparents were insistent that such craft not be the focus of his life, as it would certainly only lead to troublesome things. So he spent his time learning more mundane topics. History, maths, sciences, etc. Other things. Still, his life was far from easy post great war. After the war, Germans were forced to live in harsh conditions and as such, thoughts of revenge and a desire to help German people with Magecraft grew. So against his grandparents wishes, he decided to learn Magecraft. He quickly became fascinated with it, taking to it like a moth to a flame and despite his own discovery that his aptitude for it wasn't the best, he cared not. He carried on like this for most of his teenage and youthful years.

It was around 1933 when Hitler and the NSDAP came to complete power in Germany. Gabriel was 17 at the time, and was quickly swept up by the appeals that the party could help Germany. A year later when the 'Junker Schools' were founded to train SS officers, he leapt at the chance to join. Of course, not anyone could just be taken in as a candidate. Sure, he fit the profile of the 'Ideal German Citizien' but that wasn't enough. He had little to no combat training. Against his grandparents wishes, he stole the family jewels, so to speak, altering his appearance so none would be able to identify him.

Of course, that's where Magecraft came into play. he managed to at first, insert himself into one of the Reichswehr as part of the Chancellors secret plans for military expansion. He forged some papers as well as his age, stating how long he had been a part of it. Stating he was a fresh recruit from before then and three years older than he actually was as well as altering the memory of those he had too. He received his his first military training from here where he quickly distinguished himself from his peers with excellence in training as well as determined and goal focused attitude.

It was in 1934 when the first Junker Schools founded - A Leadership school specifically designed to train SS officers. He leapt at the chance to become one of them. The training by far, was not what most would willingly go through. The schools were designed to teach the officer cadet to be adaptable, able to handle any order given to them as well as instill a sense of racial superiority and nationalist ideologies. Of course, Gabriel was no exception and underwent just as harsh conditions as everyone else. Still, after nineteen months of the harsh training, in 1935 he was a fully fledged member of the SS - one of their more prominent members to boot.

It was then, he was recruited into the SS-TV - that is, the special regiments designed to specifically oversee and work in the the concentration camps. So he went to Dachau in order to have further training as well as a role in this absolutely horrid state of affairs. Just following orders, is all. Even so, he still questions the harsh conditions on the people there, but he never voiced such concerns. That would be treason, and he'd already gotten himself this far into it, it would be difficult to back out now.

Eventually, he completed the special type of SS-TV training required of those working in the Death Camps. For a few years, while he never oversaw a Camp himself he was a well respected member among those in Buchenwald where he was transferred later.

However, when word and talk of the Holy Grail surfaced, he was chosen among all the others to oversee the operation as it was well known within the higher up of the SS that he was at least into more...occult things, and as such had a fairly large influence within the regime. Loyal, likely not to break protocol or betray the Chancellor - he was the perfect candidate.

So he performed the summoning ritual, and headed off to Japan.

Origin:
'Order'

Elemental Affinity:
Fire and Wind

Number of Magic Circuits:
C

Quality of Magic Circuits:
C

Od:
B

Magecraft:
Unfortunately, Gabriel is no great mage no matter what the NSDAP or the Thule society wants. Aside from his Od, his Magic Circuits and the quality of them, just isn't top of the line. Not that many know this - its a well kept secret he plays close to his vest.

His most notable use of this, is use Fire and Wind related magecraft, to make small electrical currents to have a stun effect on people. Perhaps with a bit of practice he could do more with it, but there is a limit to what he's capable of with his magic circuits.

He is somewhat versed in Memory manipulation. While not extremely strong, against normal people it helped him get ahead in his own life since he is effectively able to erase his presence from peoples memories as well as give himself an alibi in the form of inserting himself into one, should he have need of it. It is how he got into the SS training classes at a Junker School as a student, initially.

Knows some rudimentary healing Magecraft, though it's nothing special and isn't going to be healing anyone from any major injury.

Equipment:
Mystic Code: Emerald Pendant (Rank C)
A simple emerald pendant, one of the sole heirlooms of his family. In essence, it is a simple item which allows one to temporarily alter their appearance to whatever they desire for a predetermined duration of time at the cost of some energy. It will wear off after awhile, but as long as the Magus is aware of the time and how much energy they put into it it shouldn't be much of a problem. Other Magus will be able to tell at least, there is a spell being cast though they may not know the exact nature of it. He passes it off as a 'simple protection spell'

Mystic Code: Amplifier (Rank B)
A simple blade given to him to help amplify his magic, though the effectiveness is somewhat questionable. It is made of a super-conductive metal to help conduct electrical currents to aid with his particular affinities.

Walther PP pistol. Simple, effective, standard issue firearm.

Skills:
Gabriel has training in close quarters combat, how to use a number of different firearms as well as was trained in how to use a sword.
Is also fairly good at cooking. Surprisingly, likes to spend his free time doing that.

---

Berserker is a vain individual, always taking time to flaunt his treasure, and sometimes even himself. Berserker sees those who conduct themselves as heroes of justice as fools for doing so. Berserker believes that one should live to increase their own wealth and status, seeing those who intentionally fight for others as hypocrites. Because of his selfish views, it should be made apparent that Berserker is an extremely greedy individual who is eager to increase his own wealth. He fights in the Holy Grail War in order to increase his own wealth, having an ambitious wish to plunder the treasures from other Heroic Spirits, to have a hoard to rival even the greatest of treasuries.

While Berserker is quite upset that he was eventually slain and had his treasure taken from him, he bears no direct hatred towards the famous dragonslayer who killed him. Instead, Berserker wishes to instill his own selfish ideals over what he perceives as "childish hypocrisy," whether it be telling him personally or burying him in a mountain of gold. Berserker will prefer the latter of the two, as his true anger is pointed towards his treacherous brother- the dragonslayer is just guilty by association. If Berserker were to fight against other Heroic Spirits with the Dragon attribute, he will boast about his great wealth and prestige. Berserker will laugh at other kings and rulers who have not achieved great prosperity, seeing them as lesser. When against the King of Heroes, specifically, Berserker will grow envious at his much larger treasury and will do anything in his power to have such a vault of immense treasures in his hands, possibly causing his Curse of Avarice to grow much faster in power.

---

---

The class skill of Berserkers. Boosts parameters in exchange of sanity. This skill has been sublimated into Berserker's Curse of Avarice.

---

The power to release a torrent of Mana from one's mouth comparable to the breath of a dragon, the strongest of the Phantasmal Races. By channelling his immense reserves of Mana through his draconized lungs, Berserker can expel a continuous torrent of flames. Additionally, as Berserker's Curse of Avarice changes him, Berserker's flames begin to change into a greener color, emitting a noxious gas toxic to all living things as well as Servants. At its strongest, this sickly flame is able to lay waste to the surrounding environment similar to nuclear energy. Berserker was said to have breathed his poisonous breath upon the lands surrounding his lair in order to protect himself and his vast treasure.


A skill that denotes one's mind wracked with greed. A curse that boosts one's parameters more wealth they amass. At the same time, one's thirst for treasure will rise until they are nothing but an avaricious beast. For Berserker, this curse manifests physically as a glowing mark on his chest, which increases in size and intensity as the curse takes hold of him. The more this skill affects him, the stronger his draconic aspects begin to manifest. Berserker's skin toughens to armor-like scales until only the strongest of attacks are able to pierce through them, his resistance to magic increases to where it rivals even Servants of the Knight classes, and his draconic breath strengthens to where it could match even the mightiest of dragon slayers. This curse, a form of Inversion Impulse, slowly transforms Berserker into a nigh-unstoppable dragon, the strongest of all the phantasmal beasts, and symbols of greed. It should also be noted that this skill makes Berserker weak against attacks with the 'dragon-slaying' attribute. This skill should be used with caution, and seeking to turn Berserker into a Dragon should only be reserved as a last resort. Aside from the incredible mana cost, Berserker's reasoning will to devolve to that of an unintelligible monster who only seeks to further add onto his hoard.


A Skill measuring one's fortune in acquiring wealth. Due to being the original owner of the Nibelung treasury, Berserker is promised a lifetime untroubled by money. However as the treasury also carried a potent curse that was said to bring all its bearers to ruin, his LCK is afflicted with two ranks down. Having stockpiled most of the treasury himself, he boasts a higher rank in this Skill then the hero Siegfried who merely gained ownership of it after Berserker's death. On the other hand, the curse he receives is also greater, dropping his LCK to the lowest possible rank.

---

The cursed treasury that Berserker guarded in his life, this Noble Phantasm takes the shape of a golden ring with faintly glowing runes surrounding it. A ring said to bring whoever owns it unlimited wealth, the usage of this Noble Phantasm allows Berserker to draw out from his entire hoard, similar to a certain King of Heroes. Berserker can summon mounds of gold, gems, and other such treasures, raining it down upon his enemies until they are buried in his magnificent hoard. Unlike another famed treasury, Berserker is unable to fire his treasure like bullets, instead raining it upon his enemies in order to overwhelm them. Among Berserker's treasury is a vast store of many different sorts of weapons Berserker could use to his advantage. The only weapon of notable mystery, however, is the sword Hrotti, a blade that can compare to in strength to a C-classed Noble Phantasm, and would likely be one if Berserker was summoned in the Saber class. The more Berserker uses this Noble Phantasm, the greater his Curse of Avarice will change him. Likewise, the more Berserker's curse takes ahold of him, the more likely he will use this Noble Phantasm carelessly.

Name/Nickname/Titles: Uva

Gender: Female

Age: 5 (Chronologically)/19 (Appearance)

Personality: Uva has a preset personality of being a somewhat calm individual who will anaylze situations and even if she at times she may act based on her emotions she tries to act based on logic more. That being said she isn't the perfect Homunculus thus she will definitely at times let her emotions get the best of her, but that helps her blend into society better. She speaks rather formally, or atleast what she thinks is formal but actually is just without contractions, to others, and respects their opinions ahead of her own, not afraid to change her stance to match theres if it would be to her advantage, or beneficial to all involved. Due to that she may seem to be a bit gullible at times, not wanting to disagree with others thus will accept some things as wrong even if she should know they're correct.

She has a surprisingly strong sense of self but seems to be lacking in various areas, thus causing her to seem like she has no idea what to act like at times. Due to the reason she was made being to survive and win, she doesn't quite have the skills to survive in certain situations and instead must supplement them with knowledge and skills from other area. While she can plan for a fight and strategize for war, she would feel confused by things such as quick sales and peoples desire to grab as many things as they can for as little as possible, but would have to move along with it and try hard, treating it as if war instead of a savings hunt..

One would normally assume she made to think less of herself with the way she acts, a bit like a doll, but she is actually very self conscious when not pre-occupied and gets worried about how she comes across, and if she is causing issues for others. And more so if she's causing issues for the Einzbern Family as she is a member of their ranks. When one asks she seems quite confident in her own abilities, though starts to worry. The level of her intellegience can be argued but she atleast excels in methods of how to make it out alive and win battles.

Appearance: Uva has a good height of about 5'4, taller than some would expect when combined with her appearance. Being fairly skinny and somewhat pale, she looks as if she is ill suited to harsh situations, which is only partially true. Her skin being a bit pale fits with her color scheme, as she has oddly snow white hair that keeps part in front with the rest pulled back, and large red eyes which aren't easily found in the world.

Her wardrobe consists of several of the same outfit oddly, white dresses with black lines along some parts. As well she seems to wear white gloves at all times, and what appears to be a shawl with a large purple ribbon at the front. On her legs are tights, finally ending with the boots she wears over her feet.

Biography: As a Homunculus, Uva was unsurprisingly created. These events were three years ago. She was amongst several made to be used in the future, seeing as they knew when the next war would occur. Out of all those though, she was given the honor of being chosen as the one who would represent them in the future, and bring them the Holy Grail. Outside of that she had many uses though.

Over the following years she simply did as told, acting upon her orders without rising any complaints. While she was an Einzbern, she was not the one in charge and knew to listen to those above her. For a good while she believed herself to be perfectly made according to her specifications. Unfortunately as time kept passing she started realizing that wasn't the case.

Her emotions were stronger than she realized, and she had more thoughts about herself than she wanted. Uva considered asking about it but realized it was pointless. If those were there, that simply means they were intentionally placed within her. Perhaps to make allies or to excel in social situations that would indeed come up. After all one can't fight without a partner, and if one didn't have a sense of self, they would have a hard time earning the others respect.

There had been times when tests had come up to ensure she was able to perform at the level they desired but they never proved to be much of a problem. Her abilities were exactly as intended, and she actually showed promise beyond those, with good learning capability, thus causing her to start studying and learning more methods beyond her current ones.

Exploring her sense of self when she had time, she learned more about herself than she thought initially. Uva hadn't expected herself to be capable of such a wide range of thought or skills, which just made her feel stronger bother physically and mentally. Thinking upon it she came to the conclusion she was given this upon her creation to be able to function not for excelling in social situations or making allies, but so she'd have enough of an ego to be able to reflect upon situations, and create a better understanding of those she'd be fighting against one day.

The truth wasn't that far off. She truly was meant to be able to understand those against her and defeat them, as well as be skilled at Magecraft. Her Magecraft skills were not the top of what was possible, nor were her combat skills, but that was due to the idea that she would be able to manage and survive better if she had a balance between the two. Being specialized did not ensure her victory after all.

As the time came closer she prepared to depart, to learn the land of the war before it started. Packing up the artifact chosen by her family, she felt confident she would be able to bring them what they desired. Unfortunately upon her arrival she learned the country was not exactly what she expected. And then it was a matter of time till the incident itself started. Thankfully she had already gotten prepared.

Family History: Einzbern

Origin: Mending, To Repair

Elemental Affinity: Earth

Number of Magic Circuits: E

Quality of Magic Circuits: EX

Od: 1.6

Magecraft: As an Einzbern, Uva's basic Magecraft starts with Alchemy. Her skills are high up, as one would expect of an Einzbern, placing her as a first-rate alchemist. The area of specialty is Transmutation, priding herself on the fact she is using the art the Einzberns normally specialize in, thus proving her place amongst them.

She also is adept at Earth based Magecraft, such as creating spikes or changing the layout of the ground slightly. There is also Petrification, which at most takes away part of ones ability to move. Sadly this isn't her area of speciality despite matching her element.

Between the two she also is skilled at Healing Magecraft, speeding up the natural healing process. While the intention wasn't originally to heal others, it couldn't be ruled out she'd have to use it thus her skill with it is around Mid Level. She can't entirely remove large wounds in a short amount of time, but she can at least help the process and do a good patch job. Though she actually can heal major wounds, so long as the subject is willing to let her take her time.

Transference of Consciousness is the last one she has any notable amount of skill in. The transmitting of ones consciouness into another object to acquire information from it's perspective. She doesn't have familiars to practice it with though, but there are a few ways to use it despite that.

Her skills with General Magecraft are as to be expected though. Fairly skilled.

Equipment:

Mystic Code: Menders Gloves (Rank C)
Uva's pair of white gloves, which are meant to repair items or wounds. Using them is as simple as placing the hand covered gloves on the item in question, and pushing the spots together where they need to be fixed, as it will try to correctly mend them. They cause a bit of a stinging sensation on people and are no good on major wounds. Naturally they require the wearer to run Prana through them or they're just normal gloves.

As well Uva is carrying around a suitcase with a few metal bars inside, meant to be used with her Transmutation Arts to change them incase needed.

Skills: Uva was given the necessary skills to survive alone, such as cook and clean, as well as what was deemed necessary. Thus things such as Closer Quarters Combat, primarily throwing skills and holds at a mid-level, and being able to manipulate her voice to sound different or throw it and sound like it comes from another place. As well as having an amazing internal compass and sense of timing.

While she has the combat skills, her build isn't suited for fighting, nor is she particularly strong. So her skills are best for holding off those attacking her for a short time rather than eliminating enemies.

Name: Saizou Nanaya

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Personality:
Professional, astute, and placid. On the surface, these three words describe Saizou Nanaya perfectly. Not one to rise to provocation or any overly emotive response, he approaches life with an observant and cautious eye. Although a young officer, Saizou already carries himself with the aura of a soldier due to his life as a Nanaya. The activities of a soldier are actually more of a vacation for him than anything serious.

Although the picture of a professional and impassionate killer on the surface, Saizou's allies may notice the streak of comradery present in the young man. To those he has fought beside, he offers small smiles and the occasional bit of banter, showing that past the exterior of a warrior there might just be a kid who likes to mess around every now and then. Such behaviour would be considered unbecoming for a Nanaya heir, but luckily for him, he's not with them right now. He's with the Imperial Japanese Army.

Saizou is one of the individuals in the war who, simply put, does not actually care about the subject matter of it. This fact is likely part of why he was chosen, his rather unidological view of the world could not possibly harm Japan, should his wish be granted. He shows no intense desire to change the world, nor to become an important player. One might say he is content with his lot in life.

This is only half the truth. While he may not care for the grail or any wish, if given the opportunity, he would still make one. It would be a wish befitting something as singleminded as a Nanaya; the death of all oni-kind, half-blooded and full.

Appearance:
A pale man by even the standards of his kin. Saizou dresses immaculately, his uniform without fault and his hair hidden away behind his officers hat a majority of the time. Beneath it all is a refined body with its fair share of scars, some quite old, most recent. His eyes are a cold, unnatural blue for a Japanese man such as himself, making him otherwise stand out compared to his plain and professional appearance.

Biography:
Kill the body, become the mind.

Saizou's life prior to being conscripted was nothing but that. Through the attachment to his body being nullified, he could push it to the extremes demanded of the Nanaya. Through becoming a mind contained within a weapon, he could better understand the techniques a Nanaya scion must learn. The death of bodily attachment leads to mastery of the mind, which leads to the forging of the weapon.

As expected, he mastered the Nanaya arts of Sensou and Sensa at a young age. Anything less would have been a disappointment. By the time he had stepped into being a teenager, he had already added his own techniques to the Nanaya Killing Arts. He was the ideal child-- until he was not.

Japan had been at war long before World War II. Maybe not officially, but it was clear to see that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan had been on the warpath, desiring conquest of local lands. The subjugation of the Chinese tribute state of Korea, the invasion of Manchuria, Russo-Japanese war-- and so on. The Nanaya and other families took part in their own ways, not to fight the enemies of the Emperor, but to slay their own foes-- monsters and demons which resided elsewhere. They developed and grew through these encounters, becoming more power. Japan desired to be like its western neighbours, partaking in Imperialism, then seen as a badge of 'authenticity' which belonged only to the true powers of the world. Naturally, none of this was looked upon with any positivity by the west.

"The West taught Japan poker, but after winning all the chips, declared the game immoral." Said a diplomat at the time.

And so they fought their wars and expanded, and now it comes to a head. Japan has not turned away young men for its military forces since 1868, enforcing conscription on those between the ages of 17 and 40. None are exempt from hearing the call of the Emperor, even those of a family such as the Nanaya. Of course, the Nanaya always had the option of ignoring said call, retreating to places less populated to continue their lives there, but Saizou did not ignore the call. Once of age, he left his family behind with a mere note saying:

"Be back soon. Going on vacation.
- Your son, Saizou"

Indeed, by Nanaya standards, Saizou is the epitome of a delinquent.

Upon joining the Imperial Japanese Army, Saizou's lineage was recognized by those of notable importance. Rather than being sent to fight in the theatres of the Philipines and Malaya, he was inducted into a section of the army akin to the Kenpeitai. On the surface, they were the Kenpeitai. If anyone asked, they were Kenpeitai. But their true function was more esoteric. The enemies of Japan would not just act through ships and guns, but through other stranger means. Saizou is one of the responses to this reality-- a mind contained within a weapon. A weapon made for killing demons.

Of course, some of the half-blooded in the higher rungs of society would rather not see one of their natural enemies working for them, but alas. Better to have a Nanaya pointed at the foe than at you.

Due to his inclination towards supernatural threats, Saizou was chosen to act as the IJA's guardian for the Holy Grail, and to exterminate those foreigners who would seek to steal from Japanese soil. While Saizou does not particularly have any strong patriotic feelings, his views on the world are in a state of evolution. He contrasts the world of today with the world of his ancestors, and he realizes that the monster humans need protecting from may simply be outsiders.

Really though, there's not much to say about someone from a weird shutin family of murderers.

Family History: While not a magus, the Nanaya family does have a somewhat notable history. Mostly due to the fact they kill demon half-breeds for a living.

Origin: Yūgen

Elemental Affinity: Water

Number of Magic Circuits: D

Quality of Magic Circuits: A

Od: A

Magecraft:
Pure Eyes: Discernment of the Shortest Path
Saizou's manifestation of the Nanaya's ESP abilities. His Pure Eyes observe probability and simultaneously calculate the most likely course of action based on the previous and current actions of the observed. This 'clairvoyance' allows Saizou to be aware of the most likely course of action of those around him within three seconds before it occurring. This can be effective anything from simple conversation to a battle between several individuals.

Naturally, these eyes are not absolute. These calculations are ultimately based on probability, and the most probable action is not always the action that will occur. However, instances of actions which reject probability are outliers compared to the consistency of his eyes.

Houjutsu: Binding Edict
Among the spells employed by Houjutsu users, the Binding Edict is among the easier to learn. All it requires is some unsullied Ofuda, a talented caligraphy hand, some magical energy, and a non-human, demon target. It restrains their movement and makes them easier to dispatch. The spell is absolutely useless against human targets, even those with half-blood.

Equipment:

• Sword
  As expected of a member of the Nanaya, Saizou carries a personal blade with him. It is not a unique blade beyond the fact it is of high quality.
• Switchblade
  Used for cutting fruit. Inscribed with his family name at the base.
• Uniform
  He wears it well. He actually has several sets, due to the unique nature of his work.
• Funds
  While not his money, Saizou has access to whatever funds are required for the completion of his task. This does not mean he can go around spending absurd amounts, but he has near-limitless amounts of money, so long as it is spent within reason and not obviously wasteful.
• Kenpeitai Tokumu Han Warrant
  A special warrant of the Kenpeitai. It gives Saizou commandeering and judicial powers. Execution of citizens for defeatism and other treasonous behaviours is among these powers.

Skills:
Nanaya Killing Arts
Techniques which can only be used by those who have pushed their bodies to their absolute human limit. These techniques were developed to kill things far more terrifying than men and magi. The Nanaya Killing Arts can be broken up into two broader categories; Sensou, the ability to move faster than the human eye can perceive, and Sensa, the ability to attack with that same speed. In other terms, Sensou refers to killing techniques used with the arms, and sensa are the techniques which employ use of the legs. Employed together, they create a combatant faster and more deadly than most men on the planet.

Murder Impulse
When faced with non-human foes, the Nanaya's instinctive drive to kill them kicks in. While Saizou is a deadly combatant as it is, once the instinctive drive is active, he becomes far more efficient at utilizing the techniques of his family.
