Gender: Female

Age: 25

Personality: At a glance, she appears to be the ‘perfect beauty’. Soft-spoken and amicable to those that approach her, Janika could very well be called a ‘kindly Ojou-sama’ type — she sometimes appears to thoughtlessly flaunt her wealth, and the way she speaks and acts certainly lends credence to the image of ‘high-class lady’ she appears to cultivate just by existing, but if questioned, she would say with absolute honesty that such things are not her intention, and she is merely acting how she was taught to.

Sometimes, however, that perfectly cultivated image of class just. . .cracks. Perhaps it is a word spoken out of turn. Maybe it is her tone taking on a rougher tilt. Maybe it would just be the way she holds herself. This is perhaps a reminder that, no matter how hard one tries, some tendencies just cannot be curbed. Nonetheless, she attempts to live by the ideas her family instilled in her.

Grace in her every step, elegance in her every motion and eloquence in her every word, beauty in each gesture. Ruthlessness in her every decision, coldness against every enemy, cunning in her every deal.

Those were the principles she was raised with, those were the principles she would follow to her last breath, even if she might sometimes stumble along the way. Her nobility is easily seen from a mile away — and her words would do little more than reaffirm it, regardless of her being in one of the rougher moments or not.

In the end, however, she is not cruel.

Calculating, perhaps. Manipulative even. And she would not deny to be pragmatic enough to exploit her own appearance and hide her intentions beneath a beatific smile and a kind word. But she has never taken any pleasure in deceiving anyone, and most likely she never will, nor has she ever thought to lord her superiority over others.

It is not that she is humble — far from it, in fact. But what is the point of spouting what should already be known as a fact? Yes, she is better — family, connections, wealth, talent. . .if it is conceivable, she would possess it, but that is no reason to gloat — it is simply how the world worked. You would not be proud of getting up every morning, so why should she be proud of something equally natural? To be superior is merely the way things are. At the same time, she is also not kind — she would give no second thought to the idea of leaving someone behind if they proved a dead weight, and she would certainly not lose any sleep over any betrayal, but those weren't things to be proud of — merely tasks to get done. No more, no less, and she has never seen the world any differently.

Rather, it is her duty to do as she sees fit, it is her duty to further herself and her family even at the expense of others, it is her duty to be the proper Lady Magus of there ever was one — and that is really all there is to it. Sometimes she ponders if it could have been any different if life had thrown her a different lot, but she always dismisses the thought with the same quickness as it came — to bring glory to the family name, to perpetuate the line, to further their work. Those are the duties she has taken upon herself, the responsibilities thrust in her hands from an early age, and there is no reason to shirk away from them or ponder on useless ‘what ifs’. The only thing that matters is the here and now, and those who try to run away from it are no more than fools.

Perhaps most interestingly, she lacks any real wish to make upon the Grail — her sole desire is to bring glory to her family and further their standing, so any one thing she could ask for would be ‘for the sake of the Edelfelt name’ should she achieve victory. Or at least, so she tells herself.

Biography: Relatively young, she is one of the two current heirs to the Edelfelt family of magi, a proud lineage of Finnish descent. There is not really much to say about her other than the obvious — from the moment of her birth, her life had been set ahead of her, and all that was expected was that she’d follow through the motions.

And so, she did, with nary a complaint. While in her younger years she often snapped at people with a fiery temper and a glare to match, she was soon taught to hold her emotions locked deep within instead of wearing them on her sleeve — even if sometimes the task proves a tad harder than others. She dedicated her life to follow the path of the Magus, pursuing the ideal with her full efforts, perhaps out of a sense of filial love, perhaps because it was the only thing she had ever known. Regardless, the fact remained — she excelled, though that much was already beyond doubt.

Growing up as she did would perhaps be called boring, though she preferred the term ‘safely predictable’. Her life was confined to a small set of variables — and that, she could work with. Never really giving much thought to what awaited her beyond the obvious, she seemed content to study the craft and quietly continuing to work. However, when the news came to them of the opportunity to wage war against the Tohsakas, Einzberns and Matous on their precious backwater, to steal from them that great artifact, their vaunted ‘Holy Grail’, it was an injection of ‘something new’ into what was once a drab, colorless world.

She did not dislike the idea, not really. The thought of summoning legendary figures from ages past in order to engage in battle for a wish, stealing everything those three owned in the process? It might not have been her that devised the plan, but she certainly found it an interesting venture — and if that required her to get her hands dirty, it was something she could live with.

Perhaps, a voice in the back of her mind whispered, she could even learn to enjoy it.

Magecraft:

Conversion: Family attribute of the Edelfelt. Strictly speaking, the name covers the concept itself, but it is best known for its conduciveness to Jewel Magecraft. The capability that allows for the Edelfelt to place magical energy into other substances, enduring outside of the body.

Ore Scales: Sorcery Trait of the Edelfelt. The Crest is shared. The two Masters are one. The moon in the night sky is mirrored in the surface of the lake. Two sisters multiply each other's power.

Scandinavian Curses: Simply oriented around physical effects of harm. Does not include those other possibilities such as attacking the mind, causing decay, inverting causality, resonating with similarities, and so on. The specialization is, of course, the single-action curse known as Gandr. Through overcharging, release of a more powerful "Finn Shot" is possible. At the maximum output, even stopping a heart is possible.

Conversion (Traits): Deals with the ability of shifting the nature of something into something else, more appropriate to deal with the situation at hand. Generally, this could be a called a mix of the Conversion trait of the Edelfelts with Jewel Magecraft and Alteration — in simple terms, storing preset spells in Jewels in order to be able to Alter something at a moment's notice, a habit that doubtlessly owes to her nature as ‘someone who changes according to the situation’. Akin to enchantments in a video game, the Jewels are able to confer ‘traits’ or ‘attributes’ to what she sees fit, such as ‘a sword becoming a fire-sword’ or other such examples. There are, of course, limits depending on the quality and number of jewels at her disposal, but she would like to think that those are the last two things she would need to worry about.

It is hardly anything flashy — but that is fine by her as is.

Equipment:

Jewels: Eight Jewels that doubtlessly can be called ‘A-Rank’, suffused with Magical Energy, although they do not yet hold any Alteration spell. At the same time, she also possesses four others, two of which have been supercharged with both her elements, her mother’s own Lightning suffusing the other two. Though she has crafted two more through excess Prana throughout her lifetime and inherited another as a last gift, however, those remain tied to her Mystic Code.

Mystic Code: Argent On the surface, a lady cane — certainly high quality silver and of fine craftsmanship and make, decorative enough. However, the three jewels inset on the handle and body allow her to quickly and efficiently summon forth elemental barrages against those that cross her. She will admit to not be the sort of savant her sister is — but that is just fine, and her efforts are mainly oriented towards ‘support’ more than anything else.

Skills: She shines in terms of negotiations, by far the more gregarious and diplomatic of the two, and although her raw physical power — even if cheating herself — is outshone by her sister, she does have a fair grasp and training on hand-to-hand and knows how to use her body and her cane to great extent — she can (and oftentimes does) aptly wield it as a staff. In terms of ‘skill’, she ranks higher — after all, it is also a Lady’s duty to know how to properly put down undesirables.

Gender: Female

Age: 25

Personality: Best described as a fairly simple, amicable young woman. While bearing the demeanor of a princess raised in a castle, the sort of arrogance indicative of the Edelfelt's stature is rarely present. While she carries herself like one who sees herself as inherently superior to others, simple observations based on her posture and gait, she does not express this in conversation. Bearing a warm smile and a calm tone, one could call her an ojou-sama in gesture but yamato nadeshiko in action.

To some, however, this makes her an utterly unbearable existence who they want to punch in the face.

...however, it is nonetheless a truth that, whenever you distort someone's mind, so too is yours distorted. It is a rule similar to the nature of curses, that whenever you curse someone, you curse yourself as well. It is for this reason that magi refrain from using such things as Suggestion frivolously, as to embark down that path is to condemn your own mind.

Regretfully, Frederica's study of magecraft has itself been based around the twisting of minds.

The sense of self has already begun to erode, and the distinction between "myself" and "them" has been blurred. In other words, Frederica has started to lose sight of herself, becoming similar to that human who dared to consume souls in a bid for immortality. Shifts in temperament occur regularly, seemingly unprovoked, and the more she walks down this path, the easier it becomes to take the next step.

One could say that her Origin is in the process of awakening. The element flows from the Origin, so it is only natural that hers is Earth. To contain, to bind, to restrict. To take the everything of someone and lock it away, unchanging, undying, unreactive. To do that same thing to herself. This impulse which was originally nothing more than "something which led her to her style of magecraft" has grown into "something which has made her obsessed with that style".

Given this increasing mental distortion, the Origin is expected to fully awaken in approximately fifteen years. At that point, self-destruction will occur.

Biography: A princess locked in a castle. At the same time, given that there was another princess beside her, a different form of princess. To say that she lived alongside her sister would be an understatement, given the nature of the Edelfelt Sorcery Trait. However, while the gait of the two stood as identical, their content could not be more different.

In her youth, Frederica was the epitome of proper, a calm and warmhearted young girl who met everyone with a smile. The perfect status of an Edelfelt, one might say, save for that she was unable to channel anything analogous to ruthlessness. As time went on and her initially-bratty sister mellowed out, Frederica delved into magecraft. Picking up the family craft was a simple allowance, and from there she expanded into other venues. Spiritual Evocation, Transfer of Conscious, even some elementary Kabbalah she picked up on a whim.

This curiosity of hers could be said to be the spark of her downfall, as it is what led her to work out her own personal form of Conversion. By the time she had completed the system and revealed its nature to her family, the damage was done. The nature of this was already explained, and so will not be again. The exquisite glass sculpture had shattered from the eye of the storm moving, and as time drew on this grew all the worse. In that sense, the sisters could be said to have switched places. In their youth, Janika was the fiery one and Frederica the calm one, but now Janika has become a proper Edelfelt, while Frederica has become a decayed mind.

In time, word came to them of a far East ritual. Ordinarily they wouldn't have given it any thought. It was hosted on the land of this barely-notable family named "Tohsaka", and with the cooperation of this family named "Matou" which was apparently so insignificant that no records of them even existed. The third name of "Einzbern", though, was enough to entice them. And so, begrudgingly joining hands with the German faction in a means that could be best called "siding with the enemy of my enemy", the Edelfelt sisters descended on Fuyuki.

Conversion: Family attribute of the Edelfelt. Strictly speaking, the name covers the concept itself, but it is best known for its conduciveness to Jewel Magecraft. The capability that allows for the Edelfelt to place magical energy into other substances, enduring outside of the body.

Ore Scales: Sorcery Trait of the Edelfelt. The Crest is shared. The two Masters are one. The moon in the night sky is mirrored in the surface of the lake. Two sisters multiply each other's power.

Conversion (Minds): Frederica's personal application of the family attribute. A synthesis of Conversion, Spiritual Evocation, and Transfer of Consciousness. A jewel is a prison that stops flow, and the nature of Conversion allows for things such as magical energy to be placed within. However, things other than magical energy can be placed within such a prison as well, with sufficient effort. By cross-applying the principle of Transfer of Consciousness, Frederica has developed a system that allows for the movement of a mind into a jewel. While similar to creating a possessed object on face, such things usually deal with the leftover energy, the old recording of a personality known in Chinese Taoism as a "corporeal soul". This, however, is the movement of the "ethereal soul". Quality is incomparable to that of a piddling wraith.

Golems: Creation of golems. A magical construct that originates in Kabbalah, namely in the creations of Solomon ibn Gabriol, also known as Avicebron. A golem is created via using jewels as organs, parchment as skin, and mercury as binding. Other materials such as a magus for the core, a covering of stone, and the like are also considerations. They are doll-type familiars, similar in atmosphere to puppets but more machine-like in their nature. Skill is merely average; however, due to using her own jewels as the organs, absurd results can be exhibited.

Equipment:

Jewels: Five jewels which contain enough prana to be called "A rank", all of the Earth element. None of them contain a mind at the current time. While the entirety of Frederica's excess magical energy over the course of her life has been enough to manufacture fifteen jewels, ten of them have been used for the creations below.

Limbs: Frederica's limbs are not constructs of flesh, but rather golem limbs. In each limb is a jewel that contains a mind, and sufficient prana to be called "A rank". While Frederica can move them according to her will, her limbs automatically move in "Frederica's best interests" as well. Unlike the Bronze-Link Manipulators of Fiore Yggdmillennia, their movement thought patterns are as expansive as that which the human mind can contain. While it increases prana expenditure, it is possible to utilize a shapeshifting function of the limbs, increasing their size and destructive power. In other words, the defensive capabilities of those bronze arms and the offensive capabilities of that mercury construct; the downside is, of course, that they are parts of her body.
An excellent body modification that only a madwoman would carry out. Were it not for the difficulty of doing so considering the Edelfelt Crest, she certainly would have moved her own mind into a jewel as well.

Golems: Six humanoid golems, each with an "A rank" jewel containing a mind as its core. In terms of combat acuity, adaptability, and so on, it is at a level that mere artificial intelligence cannot reach. However, they are merely golems made by one of average talent in the art, so while the software is monstrous, the hardware is lacking. Also, despite her considerable od, controlling all six of these golems in tandem with a Servant at one time is impossible; the most she can manage is three golems and a Servant.

Skills: While Frederica herself has never learned combat arts, she can replicate the result through the use of her limbs. Mediocre cook. Acceptable at mental math. Exquisite at annoying others.

Name/Nickname/Titles: Brauer Herstelle: The Black Star

Gender: Male

Age: 43

Personality: A man who holds desire and enjoys to see ambition in others around him. “It would not do well to prove one’s self superior over others who simply lie down and roll over on demand.” Believing in his own ability with a self-confidence that can be said to be arrogance, it is nevertheless a confidence he carries as a necessity. To not be proud of himself is an insult to those who came before him, for he is not simply a man but a process. The arrogance to connect himself with Saturn in his title stems partially from his personality, but also as a symbolistic show that he considers himself the answer to the desire and end of a master race, of the bringing of beings who are on the same authority as the worshipped lord of rings and King of Kings. Pride is a rather important part on him, and even if he may in a contradictory manner act in a way that seems quite unprideful or cowardly to attain his goals, he is the sort who believes that there is a sense of pride and bearing in being willing to stain one’s self to reach one’s end goals if the goal is worthy enough. An idea that he holds due to looking upon it as a matter similar to Alchemy.



Biography:Brauer, the alchemist that is the Herstelle family’s fifth generation heir, and representative. A man who left his family’s lands and personal workshop and embarked upon the stage of the world and nation. Joining the Thule Society after its establishment when he was a young man studying within the Sea of Estray. In an unexpected deviation from the norm, he strayed from the Mage Association and found himself delving further into the influence of the group that intertwined with the rising new regime of Germany. Confident in his abilities, proud of his legacy and desiring to prove himself a substantial contribution to the Herstelle lineage, he saw the rising organization, and the spread of Nazi Ideology as a potential avenue of support that could advance his ambitions further than he could ever with the resources that are limited to the scale of a family. By presenting his work as useful for their ideologies, and the answer to their goals he dreamed and foresaw the level of a scale of a nation’s resources at his disposal. Yet despite making plans to use the ideologies of those who preached of purity and greatness as mere stepping blocks the charisma and fervor of those around him began to consume him. Seductive, the men around him cast a powerful flame of earnest desire, born of dreams and the lust for greatness and power. Some believed in the ideologies to the earnest, some simply saw the potential like Brauer in how it could be leveraged for their own gain or used as a simple moral justification that swept away guilt and accountability for their actions.

Despite staying to the course of his ultimate goal, Brauer found himself changing the direction of his research and the focus of his magecraft, using the already conducted advancements of his family and the notes that he was able to attain thanks to the aid of the Thule Society, to work on attaining something that could get them to some form of actualization of the desires of the Nazis. Yes, even if he might not truly believe to the core, even if he might be using them for his own gain. In a way he does not wish for the betrayal of such passion and adamant belief by what could be a fruitless, cold future of nothing.

Although such a thing may also stem from the idea that he believes he can be their salvation, the engineered savior that they would look up to as well… A person who means no bad, but perhaps it would simply feel much nicer if he was a simpler person who purely just wished to utilize others? Ah, what a pain!

Family History: Unlike many magi who migrated towards the influence of the Clock Tower they are a family that continues to associate with the Sea of Estray instead. A family of alchemists who decided not to create things that can be pure in their stead, or things that are strong because they are weak. They looked upon humanity itself as the work that they should attempt to refine and recreate. A theory is held by the Herstelle that humanity has diversified too much from its origin to reach the root of all. However modern humanity cannot be anything but modern humanity, and so the decision to pursue the refinement of modern humanity to remove its impurities and remake it while still keeping it as something that is “modern humanity” was made.

Herstelle Alchemy

Alchemy based not on the concept of chasing after the Magnum Opus, in other words, the Philosopher’s Stone. The Herstelle is instead based on the modification and creation of life. The creation of homunculi falls within their purview but rather than focus on a line of focus that they are grossly outdone in by the likes of the Einzberns they instead focus on applying the refinement processes of Alchemical Creation on existing lifeform, rendering living lifeforms, and life force as materia, and heat. While originally simply pursuing the steps of the Magnum Opus to utilize it on lifeforms and create a superior state of being for one’s self to try and pursue the route, similar to the idea of recreating the original human body like a future puppetmaster will. The possibility of a shortcut through the idea of a positive regression, to remove the impurities that are born and propagated of the mixing of blood and the decline of the world through focus on the first step, Nigrido, seemed to hold potential to the Thule Society. Gaining the support and some leftover heretical knowledge from the former member of the Sea of Estray, Fabro Rowan, Brauer has mostly focused on the creation of a prima materia that could be shaped and purified.

Rather than simply using lifeforms as material to create brand new lifeforms as the idea behind his creations, it could be said to be a remaking of the base lifeform.

While it goes without saying, as the heir to the Herstelle magecraft he holds a magic crest that carries the research of his predecessors and his own research within it.

Nigrido Lebensborn

The creation of a conceptual bounded field. The Black Sun Wheel of the Thule Society and the oroborus of alchemy is the core of a Black Sun (Womb) borrowed from the legends of the Aztecs. A bounded field that represents eternal reoccurance, and the cycle of life and death. Things will die and be reborn, forever repeating and yet changed. A false ocean of primordial life. It does not give birth to life but instead rebirths life, decomposition,and putrefaction. Lifeforms placed within this womb are rendered into a prima materia and rebirthed.

Equipment:

Die Glocke Sonnenzersetzung

The top secret nazi weapon of Die Glocke. Or rather, one that bears the name of it. Just as the Fuyuki Grail War is a Grail instead of the Grail, this is a Die Glocke. Rather than a scientific miracle device in this case it is in fact a mystic code A weapon that is meant to spread the effect of an imperfect nigrido. Rather than rendering things into a original materia it is instead a faulty and ruinous decomposition. Degradation and erosion of the body and lifeforce undergoes as a result of exposure. Blood would gel and separate, plants would turn into mud and grease. Beings would cease to be beings and simply become corpses and flesh. Truly a cruel weapon of war, created not for the advancement of knowledge, defense or even for the sense of creation. A thing made only to kill.

Cameras, and other things for the creation of film.

A Homunculus (Maid)

Skills: Unsurprisingly good at baking.

A good public speaker, and a fan of film. Despite the concept of camera and photo being anathema to the mysteries of the supernatural world and the ideas of magi, Brauer is nevertheless a person who enjoys being filmed, and has created many films to send in as an explanation of his status versus other means such as a simple telephone. Quite a wasteful and expensive hobby! Especially considering that one of the reasons he often has a homunculus accompanying him is to film him as one of its duties.

It goes without saying that his own collection of movies is substantial as well. From the works of Georges Méliès, Luigi Maggi or Mack Sennett. Along with specific films such as the Birth of a Nation, The Cabinet of Doctor Carigari.

Gender: Female

Age: 32

Personality: Warm, even jovial, but cunning. The switch between "Anna" and "Arianna Lombardi" is almost visible — from someone who would happily carry a conversation about utterly meaningless minutia, to a icy murderess. Sometimes, when she's acting as Anna, she might even pretend that the other part doesn't exist. Despite denying that part of her nature, she's never slow to cleave to it, when the time to kill comes.

This makes her seem like two different people, even if she doesn't feel like it's that way. One moment, you're dealing with an amiable friend, and the next, she's killing. For her, it's a method of compartmentalization. Because she does heinous things, like murder, she shouldn't be allowed to live a happy, normal life. By separating the two mental states so sharply, she willingly lives a double life, to preserve both her ability to be happy, and her ability to work.

Appearance: Anna stands at a respectable 1.65 meters, with lightly tanned skin. Her voice carries a soft Italian accent, well diluted by her years away from the fatherland. When in public, she wears gloves that cover up to her elbows, made of a soft silk, imitating the style of rich ladies. In reality, they conceal the crisscross of 16 Command Seal that cover her left forearm. Much of her body is marred by scars and marks. Old blade and bullet wounds.

Biography: Born in the center of the Kingdom of Italy, Arianna Lombardi was destined for nothing. That isn't to say she had no destiny - instead, she would simply amount to nothing as person. A commoner. She was seven when the Great War started, and watched her father leave to go fight the Austrians. Her mother, in the absence of her husband, grew to be a lush and a hussy. Heavy-set men she barely knew circled her home like vultures. That would always have led to conflict. A pair of construction workers, 'friends' of her mother, fought over her. One cut the other down, and then turned on her mother. Arianna didn't - couldn't - do anything. So, she ran away.

That's what people without power do, when things become scary. They run.

Of course her mother was dead. At some point, her father died in the war. For half a year, she lived on the filthy streets of Rome, stealing and begging to survive. There was no consideration given to those she took from. Eventually, even the Church was seen as a legitimate target for larceny. By then, she was ten years old, and not unhardened by her time on the hard streets. It was tough, and so, she had to be tough. But she was hardly tough enough to look the wizened old man who caught her in the eye, and to rob his church anyway. Besides, she convinced herself. She could use him. What was some of her time, cooking and cleaning, for a roof? And, of course, it was just natural for her to learn how to really fight. There was a war on, after all. The Austrians could've broken through at any time, and where would she be when they took their wrath out on her home?

It was 1920 when her and her... 'Father', Antonio Lombardi, left Spain. He never explained why, and she never asked. But, after that, when they got to the much, much larger cathedrals of Germany, she rarely saw him. And things changed. Became more clear. At first, they showed her horrible things. Bodies. Murders. Torture. Death. And then they told her, 'This is the stain of heresy on our world.' The mere idea that heresy like that could exist was disturbing. That men could turn from the light so willingly, and so far from it. She had been mentally prepared - groomed, perhaps - for the position she took. When she was thirteen, she joined the Eight Sacrament, a secret arm of the Church dedicated to the research and recovery of holy relics. She would stay there for a number of years, but her new destiny would take her to harsher places. Darker places. But those years, when she was working with her father and taking care of the past were the most peaceful times in her life. It was a time of ease and comfort, when she finally had a place in the world. But, of course, when they offered another, more important, way to serve the Lord, how could she turn away?

She was officially made an Executor in February of 1927. The years after that were a blur. She stayed in Germany for much of it, occasionally visiting other nations to perform the 'Lord's work'. The crumbling Russian Empire, to put down a coven of witches. The colonies of Mozambique, to purify a town clutched by evil. Some years after her appointment, in 1933, the world shifted away. Antonio was killed by the SS, along with an indeterminate number of others, to secure the power of the NSDAP. Germany finished what their Austrian brothers had started, murdering her second father. This period of time saw many, many more incidents for her. More work. More aggressive killing - the style, many would say - had changed. But she hadn't. She was just the same Anna, after all. She wasn't allowed to return to Germany - now the German Reich - but that was fine. She had no interest in going back.

There's no good reason that she was picked for this role - she's probably not even the best person for the job, given that she's nearly certainly biased - but that hardly matters. She's the overseer the war is getting.

They probably would've preferred if her father could've taken the job.

Origin: Duality.

Elemental Affinity: Fire

Equipment:
Black Keys, naturally, but these are honestly not used very often. They're, to her, a tool that's good for exactly one job, and nothing else. Why use them on anything but what they're made for?

And to that end, most her of equipment is fairly mundane, but collected from a diverse range of sources. The trenchknife of a Hungarian. The revolver of a Frenchman. The rifle of a Russian. A set of pistols, from an American. The saber of a Turkish cavalryman. Every single one of them has some kind of story, some kind of history before she took it. Even if it's meaningless, she appreciates it. History like that doesn't do anything to make the weapon more effective, but it's nice to know.

With one very notable exception.

One weapon she keeps, Passion, does not fit in. While most of her equipment is contemporary, or at least of a modern make, the rondel she sometimes carries is unmistakably archaic. Forged of simple iron, the weapon is, in theory, forged from one of the nailed used to pin Jesus Christ for his Crucifixion. While that may not be true, it hardly diminishes the status it has as a relic. Just as the nail once pinned Christ, Passion now pins Magus. When pierced by the point of the weapon, each of their Magic Circuits are locked up - frozen. While under that effect, their Circuits are not able to carry any prana through to influence the world. However, it does not actually damage them in the long term, merely suspending them until they no longer have it inside of them. Due to it's nature, she refers to it as a 'sin binding' type of weapon.

Skills:
Like all members of the Church, she's been taught the basic and fundamental mystery used by the Church - the Baptism Ritual. A simple ritual, with a count of ten aria. This ritual is only for banishing demon or excising spirits, though it is shockingly powerful in that role. It, however, has very little ability to influence physical beings, as they are firmly tied to the world, and to Servants, who are flatly too powerful to care about such an attempt.

Naturally, she's well read on the Bible and all of the classic teachings of her faith. She'd be a poor example, otherwise.

Her special position has required allowed her knowledge of heresy - of Magecraft's nature, of demons, and of Dead Apostles. She'd be dead, otherwise.

Her combat ability far outstrips even the most hardened of veterans, but this mostly is centered around the use of bladed weapons. Particularly, swords and daggers. While she's a master of various styles, ranging from classic French dueling to the more brutal methods used by the soldiers of the Great War, this is the focus, not the scope, of her talents. She's far more than competent with a firearm, easily tracking and taking moving targets from long ranges, and an experienced bomb maker. She's also rather experienced with wilderness survival and horsemanship, but the latter is really more of a hobby.

Such as thou art, sometime was I.
Such as I am, such shalt thou be.
I thought little on th'our of Death
So long as I enjoyed breath.
On earth I had great riches
Land, houses, great treasure, horses, money and gold.
But now a wretched captive am I,
Deep in the ground, lo here I lie.
My beauty great, is all quite gone,
My flesh is wasted to the bone.

He is an honourable man who kept somewhat to the knightly idea of chivalry when he lived in an era where it was on the decline. However at times his chivalry was overridden by his expediency during times of war where he practised the chevauchée as fulfilling his duty to his country was more important than his own sense of honour. Edward is able to react to situations calmly and reasonably even if it was a situation where he was in danger.

Edward was a skilled and fierce general and found that he did not fear death due to his experiences in battle from a young age, claiming that he had already learned how to die a long time ago. Edward generally make judgements of people based on their moral compass and how it compares to his own, although despite this Edward is not narrow-minded, prejudice, arrogant or self-serving as he understands that humanity is a complex thing. He was very loving to his friends and family, always willing to entertain their ideas and supportive towards their goals and dreams. He was also a charismatic leader to those who served under him in war as well as a beloved prince in his home country of England where his popularity grew exponentially after his accomplishments. Edward was a loving father to all of his sons, not only his legitimate sons but also the illegitimate sons that he conceived before his marriage.

Due to the fact a lot of his life was spent in war Edward places a lot of trust in great warriors and commanders over other advisers, even on matters where those attributes would be of no relevance or even sometimes disadvantageous.

History:
Edward was born on 15 June 1330 at Woodstock Palace in Oxfordshire. He was created Earl of Chester on 18 May 1333, Duke of Cornwall on 17 March 1337 (the first creation of an English duke) and invested as Prince of Wales on 12 May 1343 when he was almost 13 years old. In England, Edward served as a symbolic regent for periods in 1339, 1340 and 1342 while Edward III was on campaign. He was expected to attend all council meetings and he performed the negotiations with the papacy about the war in 1337. He also served as High Sheriff of Cornwall from 1340 to 1341, 1343, 1358 and 1360–1374.

Edward had been raised with his cousin Joan, "The Fair Maid of Kent". Edward gained permission for the marriage from Pope Innocent VI and dispensation for marriage to a blood-relative (as had Edward III when marrying Philippa of Hainault, his second cousin) and married Joan on 10 October 1361 at Windsor Castle. The marriage caused some controversy, mainly because of Joan's chequered marital history and the fact that marriage to an Englishwoman wasted an opportunity to form an alliance with a foreign power. When in England, Edward's chief residence was at Wallingford Castle in Berkshire (since 1974 in Oxfordshire) or at Berkhamsted Castle in Hertfordshire.

He served as the king's representative in Aquitaine, where he and Joan kept a court which was considered among the most fashionable of the time. It was the resort of exiled kings such as James IV of Majorca and Peter of Castile. Peter of Castile, thrust from his throne by his illegitimate brother Henry of Trastámara, offered Edward the lordship of Biscay in 1367, in return for the Black Prince's aid in recovering his throne. Edward was successful in the Battle of Nájera (3 April), in which he soundly defeated the combined French and Castilian forces led by Bertrand du Guesclin. Peter did not pay fully and refused to yield Biscay, alleging lack of consent of its states, the Juntas Generales de Vizcaya and Edward retreated to Guienne by July. The Black Prince returned to England in January 1371 and died on 8 June 1376 (a week before his 46th birthday), after a long-lasting illness that was probably amoebic dysentery, contracted ten years earlier while campaigning in Spain.

Major Campaigns that Edward was involved in and their significance:
- The 1345 Flanders Campaign on the northern front, which was of little significance and ended after three weeks when one of Edward's allies, Jacob van Artevelde, a former brewer and eventual governor of Flanders, was murdered by his own citizens.
- The Crécy Campaign on the northern front, which crippled the French army for ten years allowing the siege of Calais to occur with little conventional resistance before the plague set in. Even when France's army did recover, the forces they deployed were about a quarter of that deployed at Crécy (as shown at Poitiers). Normandy came virtually under English control, but a decision was made to focus on northern France, leaving Normandy under the control of England's vassal allies instead.
- The Siege of Calais, during which the inhabitants suffered greatly and were reduced to eating dogs and rats. The siege gave the English personal and vassal control over northern France before the temporary peace due to the Black Death.
- The Calais counter-offensive, after which Calais remained in English hands.
- "Les Espagnols sur Mer" or the Battle of Winchelsea in the waters of the English Channel where the English fleet defeated the Castilian fleet.
- The Great Raid of 1355 in the Aquitaine–Languedoc region, which crippled southern France economically, and provoked resentment of the French throne among French peasantry. The raid also 'cushioned' the area for conquest, opened up alliances with neighbours in Aquitaine, the one with Charles II of Navarre being the most notable, and caused many regions to move towards autonomy from France, as France was not as united as England.
- The Aquitaine Conquests, which brought much firmer control in Aquitaine, much land for resources and many people to fight for Edward.
- The Poitiers Campaign in the Aquitaine-Loire region, which crippled the French army for the next 13 years, fomenting the anarchy and chaos which would cause the Treaty of Brétigny to be signed in 1360. Following this campaign, there was no French army leader, there were challenges towards Charles the Wise, and more aristocrats were killed at Crécy and Poitiers than by the Black Death.
- The Reims Campaign, following which peace was finally achieved with the Treaty of Brétigny. But, on the same terms, England was left with about a third of France rather than a little under half which they would have received through the Treaty of London. This is due to the failure to take Reims which led to the need for a safe passage out of France. As a result, a lesser treaty was agreed to and Edward III was obliged to drop his claims to the French throne. France was still forced to pay a huge ransom of around four times France's gross annual domestic product for John the Good. The ransom paid was, however, a little short of that demanded by the English, and John the Good was not returned to the French. Thus, this campaign yielded mixed results, but was mostly positive for Edward. One must also remember Edward III never actually dropped his claim to the throne, and that about half of France was controlled by the English anyway through many vassals.
- The Najera Campaign in the Castilian region, during which Peter of Castile (also known as Pedro the Cruel) was temporarily saved from a coup, thus confirming Castilian dedication to the Prince's cause. Later, however, Pedro was murdered. As a result of Pedro's murder, the money the prince put into the war effort became pointless, and Edward was effectively bankrupt. This forced heavy taxes to be levied in Aquitaine to relieve Edward's financial troubles, leading to a vicious cycle of resentment in Aquitaine and repression of this resentment by Edward. Charles the Wise, king of France, was able to take advantage of the resentment against Edward in Aquitaine. However, the prince temporarily became the Lord of Biscay.
- The Siege of Limoges in 1370 on the Aquitaine area, after which the Black Prince was obliged to leave his post for his sickness and financial issues, but also because of the cruelty of the siege, which saw the massacre of some 3,000 residents according to the chronicler Froissart. Without the Prince, the English war effort against Charles the Wise and Bertrand Du Guesclin was doomed. The Prince's brother John of Gaunt was not interested with the war in France, being more interested in the war of succession in Castile. New evidence suggests the account of English atrocities was inflated by Froissart.
- King Edward III and the prince sailed for France from Sandwich with 400 ships carrying 4,000 men at arms and 10,000 archers, but after six weeks of bad weather and being blown off course, they were driven back to England.

Class Skills:
Independent Action: A
It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master.

Magic Resistance: C
Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.

Personal Skills:
Charisma: B-
Having B Rank in this Skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its King/Queen. The morale of military forces he or she commands is extremely high. (The - is a result of him dying one year before his father due to illness, therefore he did not lead his nation as a King but rather the heir to the throne.)

Black Boar of Burnished Steel: B
This is the skill that represents his title of the 'Black Prince'. Not only was Edward a skilled and accomplished military commander but he was also a practitioner of chevauchée tactics which means that he would also target the towns and farms of his enemies. Not only is Edward knowledgeable and skilled in traditional warfare/combat but also the more dishonourable/underhanded forms of combat. The skill also adds an intimidation bonus.

The Black Princes Ruby: B-
The Black Princes Ruby is actually the worlds largest uncut spinel and is the oldest of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and was personally owned by Edward. He was also known to be a very rich and successful ruler. This skill represents his wealth and his affinity for treasure, however it has been diminished due to the fact that near the end of his life Edward suffered from financial trouble in Aquitaine although that was due to no fault of his own, rather the failure of his ally.

Description: Effect of the Noble Phantasm:
This Noble Phantasm takes its name from the Black Princes heraldic badge. The badge and Phantasm represents the pride and excellence of the Welsh archers that served under the Black Prince. The heraldic badge would go on to be a Royal Heraldry and a symbol for the Welsh people and even Wales itself.
The Phantasm itself takes form in a volley of arrows that have appeared to be fired from the most veteran of archers, each individual arrows power ranges from a D-C rank but the real strength of the phantasm comes from the accuracy of the phantasm and the amount of times that it can be used.
