________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality:
Chaud is a soldier. He is serious, taciturn, and at times, completely cold-blooded. The sight of blood and violence do not bother him and he will not flinch at even the most violent of situations. To his enemies, he shows no mercy short of a quick death, especially to those who otherwise might die more slowly and painfully or even survive if left alone. To many, he is a cold and ruthless killing machine.

However, Chaud's humanity is far from lost. He is married and the father of a single child. He cares very much for his child and fights to make sure the world they grow up in is not as violent and war torn as the current one. His family is ever present in his thoughts and they are his primary motivation in this War. He is kind to bystanders of a conflict and will go out of his way to help those in need, especially women and children. Even will even spare what resources he can to help them out of a tough situation and will escort them to safety in the middle of a fight if he believes they will all make it out alive.

Background:
Chaud was born into a family of magical soldiers, mercenaries for hire who worked for the Mages Association. on numerous occasions. the fourth generation of his family, Chaud displayed above average magical talents from a young age and was quickly expected to excel in his families business. His training began at the age of four and by the time he was fifteen, he had killed his first man. He was taught how to maintain and repair his weapons, how to take care of himself on the battlefield, how to follow orders, and other thing typical of a soldier. Unlike other soldiers, he learned magecraft, which his specialties in physical enhancements making him a versatile and deadly combatant, and how to fight other mages.

When he was 18, Chaud met his wife to be, Annamaria. The young woman saw something many didn't see in the young soldier and pursued him much to his chagrin at the time. Over the course of three years, she worked her way into his heart and got him to soften considerably, at least while outside the battlefield. His father disapproved of this development, saying it dulled Chaud's senses and made him more vulnerable in battle, but Chaud ignored him and eventually became engaged to Anna. His father, take exception to this, tried to have the young woman killed, but Chaud's mother, who enjoyed Anna's company and influence on her son, managed to warn him in time to save his beloved. Enraged by this, Chaud set out and killed his own father, proving himself the better mage and soldier.

Now a husband and recent father, Chaud fights in the War to secure his daughters future. He knows the odds of survival are slim and he has demanded a heft payment upfront to secure his family's future, as well as transport to America. He will give it his all to make sure his child has a better life then he did. And if God deems it, he will survive to see them grow up and live a happier life then he ever could.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Name: Yuri Fyodorovich Romanyuk
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Weight: 76kg
Height: 180cm
Elemental Affinity: Sun
Origin: Life
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Magic Circuits: E x E
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Magecraft/Abilities: While Magecraft is a self-hypnosis of the self to convince the world to perform a feat of mystery. However, Yuri knows no magecraft. Psychonics -- an ability that is more of an ingrained mutation than that of circuits, only appearing within the confines of a single generation than passed down to those offsprings. One could consider his power to be the ultimate display of mankind compared to that of magecraft which still requires to trick the world in order to complete.

A “Normal” existence bound to him an “abnormality”.

Yuri could be considered to be the “Man closest to the sun”, though it is not as if he needed his wax wings to fly there. If the sun itself is “life”, than Yuri is able to see this power inside of others, and thusly can manipulate this power at will. A separate sixth sense that allows him to “feel” the energy of the sun as “life force”, and using his power, he is able to manipulate this power into any shape he wishes, including his own energy. A channel in the brain that relates to solar energy.

Because of his manipulation of this energy, the normal use of this skill would be to grant his strikes both the power of the sun, and the power of life energy, often able to disrupt bodies that are affected by the skill, or place the power within objects temporarily. This ability takes the appearance as a “wave” that directly covers the beholder’s hands. The heat of which is able to destroy most opponents.

One could say then this skill would be better against non-humans than humans; a coveted ability by those who fight against creatures known as “vampires”. However, due to the death of his father, and his displacement, it was never used for this purpose. Though good money would be spent tracking this man if his powers were more widely known.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Other Abilities: Cossack: An umbrella term for the abilities standard of a Cossack. These skills range from the ability to fire short-arms from horseback, ride, a horse, tracking, able to live off the land, and other suck feats are applicable. One could say that the Cossacks themselves are beings that lived outside of society, yet enforced said society. This skills are versatile, and thus can be applied to numerous skills.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mystic Codes/ Magical Items: N/A
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Weapons/ Other Belongings: Berezka: A horse he had bought to replace his aged horse from his Cossack days while he spent his time in America. Though most others had adopted the mechanical horse, certain habits for a cossack never die. A reliable, tamed horse that seems to have a deep understanding of Yuri; more than any human seems to comprehend, as if they two can speak directly to one another.

M1903: A weapon he had received during his service as donation equipment from the Americans to assist the whites from allowing the soviets to take over Russia. Of course, this didn’t work, but after his escape, he had made sure to keep the rifle in the best condition it could be in.

Cossack Uniform: Something old. Something constantly sewn back together. Something that could be considered important and sentimental to Yuri. A uniform that denoted his position in the Cossacks of the empire of old; the people who directly fought for the Tsar and his territories. Though he does not often wear this uniform, it is still something he treasures deeply. In addition to this uniform, a pendant with a photo of his Mother, sister, and himself he commissioned right before he left for the war within are two of his most prized possessions.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality: One could consider Yuri to be a person without much to lose. Perhaps before he was a boy full of optimism, but now, hardened by the experiences that paved the way for the century to come, Yuri is a realist whose romantic ideals were crushed one by the crippling reality of war, and twice again after by the death of his family as he fled from Red lands.

Despite this, one could not consider Yuri to be a bad person, but simply someone who does not think highly of himself, nor thinks highly of others, and while he follows what he considers to be moral, he isn’t above underhanded tricks to obtain the desired outcome he wishes for.

Troubled by his past, Yuri drowns himself in the ale and women he can afford from his missions. Never really has enough money to go around, and is often found sleeping outside when his funds are completely shot, not that he has difficulty doing so. A man corrupted by the vice of man, and one that does not allow others to get close enough to him, After all, if he spent money on himself, then he could not indulge in these vices. The natural depressants of man are all the middle aged man really needs; not the worldly concepts that most required during this timeframe from their work in the city, despite often taking these pleasures from the city. A “Cowboy [Cossack] in the world that has changed too much for it to feel real”.

Background: Yuri was born in a small town on the Don River to two Ukrainian Jews in the region. The third of four children, though both his younger brother and sister had died, leaving only himself and his sister as the surviving children. The two hardly knew of their father, who was an absent figure in the lives of the Romanyuk family. Yuri himself hardly had a face to place upon his father, aside from stories told of his exploits by his mother. And though always aware of his gift, it was not something he spoke openly about, even to his family, which he loved.

Though the town could be considered small, it was not as if the family lived in squabble. If his father was not part of his life, then one could consider his presence was felt by the Romanyuk family. After all, funds were sent to and from his position in the pacific territories of Russia. A military officer who travelled the frontier to pacify threats to the Tsar’s reign, or so he was told.

Therefore, as a young child, Yuri was the man of the house, often making the executive decisions that a paternal figure would make, the ranch where his family lived essentially being run by himself and his older sister. The two raised the horses together, and Yuri considered this youthful part of his life to be hard work, but fulfilling nonetheless.

Yuri had joined the war at the soonest he could when it had broke out.. Perhaps it was the “Ghost” of his father speaking, but he felt great patriotism towards his country. Both his sister and mother begged him not to go, but he felt that it was his obligation to fight against those who would dare destroy his way of life and slaughter the countrymen of the nation he loved. However, his sister and mother wished him not to leave. The draft was something that only required one family member to participate after all, and he was not called for such due to his father fighting in the conflict.

Yuri did not listen to them and like his father before him, trained to become a cossack. The battles were long, and the charges of his division were inefficient against the onslaught of Austrian and German machine-gun fire. IIt was not a war in the eyes of Yuri and his division, but a pointless slaughter of good men and horses.

Despite the bravery and courage his division fought with, modernization was the crux of any warfare, and done were the days of cavalry charges against formations. Therefore, his division was repurposed for disruption of supplies from the ever expanding lines as the Germans pushed into his home country.

But with the death of so many of his countrymen, and the growing discontent with the Tsar at large, in his perspective, filthy liberals were attempting to ruin the nation he had so much pride in. Of course, he was silent during the february revolution, as at the least the Duma preserved the society of Russians, but when the october revolutions hit, and the Tsar was killed in cold blood by the Reds, the country that he love exploded into civil war. Thus he had to flee eastward against the reds, and soon found himself under the mongolian divisions, fighting his damndest to defeat the plague to the nation he loved. He had heard that his father followed Kolchak’s men, but the two’s paths never crossed one another.

It was not long before the underequipped and underfunded whites began to collapse to the power of the reds, and when that happened, hoping to find freedom in a new land, Yuri escaped first to the Chinese Republic, then to Japanese occupied Port Arthur, and finally seeking asylum in the United States. In a note he had received while he was in the America revealed to him that his father, mother and sister were executed by the Soviets for their insolence and refusal to accept the revolution.

Yuri was heartbroken, and for years knew nothing that would fill the ever-expanding dread caused by this incident. In the end, he simply became a mercenary of sorts, accepting any and all missions so long as he was paid, and so long as they never broke what he considered to be “moral”.

Elemental Affinity: Water(Origin: Embrace)
Alignment: Neutral Good

Magic Circuits
Number: D
Quality: D
Composition: Sufferance
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mysteries:
[ Magic circuits were gained because of her parents pious life. They are suited toward miracles of the Church thus are incompatible with magecraft.]

Holy Sacraments
Operating off the basis off the belief in the Church, christian sacraments are the most widespread Magic Formulae in the world. Based around purification rituals and rites, sacraments are the almighty power the Holy See levels against spirits, vampires, and other inhuman creatures. While she comes from a lineage absolutely suited toward this ability, her practical knowledge is quite low. In other words, she is only capable of the foundational sacraments. A pious Knight, but certainly not a devout Priest or Nun.

Clairvoyance
In exchange for this ability, her eyesight has been permanently lost. To seal a contract her eyes were offered to the guardian spirit in her armor. In exchange, she was given the capacity to perceive beyond physical limits- that is to say, "see things that normally cannot be seen". She can "perceive" everything around her in a given radius, and can exceed even that by making her perception almost something like a disembodied camera. Without her eyesight, her other physical senses have increased drastically.

Mystery of the Incarnation
A feat of mystery that is not reliant on magecraft. By interfacing her magic circuits with the spirit within her Holy Scripture, she can allow the spirit attached to possess her. Though all of her natural abilities are perfectly suited toward it, she can only access a fraction of the guardian spirit's abilities as a result of her weak circuit. Knowing that, it still goes beyond the realm of most self reinforcing magecraft as she is becoming something fundamentally inhuman. With her current level of talent and ability, she can enhance all her physical attributes to the level she could push a master of Reinforcement back in a melee. If she was equivalent to a "Absolute Prodigy of the Assosciation", she could even incarnate some of the Spiders unique abilities. Even if the capability was enhanced though, the spirit would probably slowly eat her soul.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mundane Abilities:

Martial Skill
Master of purely western fighting styles and traditions- her movements are hard to see, let alone read. In an era in which the gun has supplanted any other weapon, she still makes use of both her body and sword as a weapon. Knowledgeable not only of the sport of combat, but the actual practice. If it's purely a fight based on technique and nothing else, she's one of the best in Europe. Could be a rival of even a certain "Tiger" in Japan if Eastern and Western swordplay were more compatible. However they are not very knowledgeable about modern weapons and cannot use magecraft of any sort. Raised in the backwoods far from civilization, they'd probably just shoot their own foot if they tried to use a gun.

Self-Hypnosis
At a face similar to the self-hypnosis that mages use to enact magecraft. However the reality is that, for the Romano family which has a very limited lifespan, sleep is inefficient. Each new head is imparted with their fighting techniques and knowledge through a form of hypnosis every time they sleep. By triggering this ability, Giovanna gains access to that information along with hypnotizing themselves. Their skill increases manifold, and the normal limits of a human body are removed. Additionally, a form of Future Prediction(Unconscious guesses based on current and past observations) becomes possible as an extension of her clairvoyance.

Excellent cook, good at housework

Items with Mystery:



Holy Relic "Thirty Pieces of Silver"
Actually, there are only around half that under the Knight Orders care. Five are missing, and ten are located within the deepest vaults of the Vatican. The only special "ability" they have is a curse of the highest strength possible, a taint leftover from their payment for killing the Son of God. Existing as a duality of "Holy Relics of the highest caliber" and "A curse of the greatest magnitude". Too dangerous to use directly in combat, they are usually stored within a intricate locked box inside the shroud of a saint. Can be used to make her otherwise normal weapons more of a threat against magi or vampires by rubbing them with shavings.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Belongings:

Relic Sword, Shield, Halberd
Ancestral Heirlooms that have accumulated years(mystery) going as far back as the Crusades. Otherwise just normal weapons of the highest quality.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality:

Does not hold the values of a magus. Infact, she is a true believer of The Holy Church. At face value, Giovanna initially seems rather unintelligent and oblivious to the world around her. However, it is more apt to say she is thick headed and stubborn, pursuing what she feels is "Right" before anything else. In other words, she has a strong sense of justice that is followed with recklessness. It's somewhat hard to notice this under normal conditions, as she is usually quite shy with a weak sense of self and ego.

Feeling a distance from normal people because of her upbringing and abilities, she finds it hard to interact with others. She strengthens her personality and will into a strong blade by pursuing an idealistic world, tempered by a special compassion for others. Even if she is normally shy, even if her life is on the line- she presents a confident facade so that she can frown in the place of others. Never once has she gone back on her word. Somewhat of a country bumpkin because of her isolated upbringing.

Background:

Member of Ordo Equestris Sancti Sepulcri Hierosolymitani(OESSH), and head of the Romano family. In other words, the head of a family within the Church's military arm, the Knight Orders. Based within Istria, it is the family's task to guard a storeroom full of Holy Relics under the 8th sacraments care. Passed from generation to generation, the family headship is expected to manage the vast family resources. Additionally they answer calls to arms from the Holy Church when military expeditions are required.

However illustrious this sounds, to be head is the same thing as sealing your own death warrant. The natural born holy people of the Romano family are destined to eventually lose all senses. The armor(scripture) will eventually "drain away" all their perceptions except for clairvoyance. Eventually even that regressive perception will be lost, and the armor will become a true tomb for them. When this finale begins, a new heir is immediately uplifted.

It's only natural that the family isolates itself from the rest of the world within its backwoods Istrian estate. Giovanna herself is the current head after her fathers recent death. He married a woman outside of his prepared marriage from the family elders, and was always unpopular as a result. They continually sent him on suicide assaults against enemies that should've been out of his league. Eventually he met his end at the hands of his ancestral enemy, the super dead apostle Jure Grando. Officially Giovanna was ordered to merely observe the Berlin Holy Grail War. However instead she became an active participant against orders because of her desire to protect others. Though the Church hates the Nazi regime with a burning passion after it purged their hierarchy multiple times, they did not want open warfare.

Reason for Being in the War: To end the Holy Grail War.

(Merely his default appearance at night: He becomes larger and more imposing as the sun waxes)

True Name: Sir Escanor
Aliases: The Grand
Class: Berserker
Gender: Male
Height: Varies(Giant)
Weight: Varies(Giant)
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Wish for the Grail: None, yet. Being able to face Heroic Spirits of great strength is enough for now.

Personality: By the standards of Servants, Escanor is particularly loyal to both his master and team. Being a Knight as long as he "acknowledges" someone, an understanding can be at least reached. However when crossed by others he always remembers, and will react accordingly. Brash and very bold, he always confronts problems head on and with decisive action. In other words, he is quite haughty and bombastic- however. Acknowledging and understanding his own weakness, he tends to hide himself away at night. For him, its better to not even be seen at all. Despite his nature, he is quite cunning both in combat and off the field.

Background: Child of a giant and a witch mother in the era of King Arthur. They were born at the exact same time as Gawain. Sir Gawain's (fairy)mother once told him that "There is one opponent you absolutely must never face". Escanor the Large was of course that singular opponent, destined to face Gawain in a fight to the death.

Having been Gawain's opponent in family matters and been defeated by him in a previous duel, Escanor the Large prepared a plan to defeat Gawain. He sent his Lady(disguised) to ask of Arthur a single boon; to be his cupbearer for a day. The King of Knights accepted, and Sir Gawain, Arthurs "Greatest Knight" was to be her protector. The next day as the Round Table feasted, Escanor haughtily walked into Arthurs court and seized the Lady. Claiming she was his sweetheart and simply walking off, no Knight could find it in themselves to challenge him. Gawain rushed after them after the conclusion of the feast, only to find Sir Kay wounded and defeated by Escanor.

Gawain pursued him, but only arrived at Escanor at nightfall. As a result, he had to stay in a prerilous graveyard where The Devil(In the form of a Knight) had taken up residence. He dueled and managed to defeat him, before challenging Escanor in the morning. Their duel began, and it was utterly equal. Ending in sword to sword combat after Gawain targeted Escanor's horse, the duel went both ways. However, as the day went on Escanor slowly became stronger. However, Escanors sword eventually was caught on Gawain's shield. Gawain refused to accept surrender, and smote Escanor's head from his neck with his Holy Sword.

Stats: Modifier one; "It is between 6 and 8". Modifier two; "It is between 8 and 11". Modifier three; "It is between 11 and 1" His power wanes as the day ends on the same principle.
Strength: E+++
Endurance: E+++
Agility: E+++
Magical Energy: D+++
Luck: E+++
Noble Phantasm: A+

Class Skills

Mad Enhancement: E-
The user does not receive the benefits of Mad Enhancement nor do they lose any of their reasoning abilities, and overall they just become a little rougher. Escanor is not particularly known for his rage, except for when Sir Gawain acted dishonorably in their final duel. However, the Noble Phantasm is truly what has sealed this skill. Even if it is inactive, Escanor has a great resistance to pain. However because of his personality he is difficult to control unless there is an understanding with the master. He discards some of his chivalric ideas he would without a doubt keep as Saber. However "honorable Knight" is still core to his personality.

Personal Skills

Numeral of the Saint: EX
A special constitution that Sir Escanor possesses."Numeral of the Saint" is an extraordinary skill of the highest rank. The effect of NotS increases over the course of the day similar to both his Noble Phantasm and Attribute modifiers. It functions like Gawains, however it waxes and wanes with the sun- that is to say at maximum, between 11 and 1 his power is increased three fold. However this skill only comes into effect when he speaks his Noble Phantasms True Name.

Demi-Human(Giant): A
A Skill to represent the phantasmal nature and superpower of a Giant. Only Demi-humans or those with Demi-human blood are capable of displaying it. It is a mixed Skill of the Mana Burst(Solar), Monstrous Strength, Natural Monster, Bravery, etc. Almost completely sealed at night. Child of a Giant and a Witch.

Eye of the Mind (False): C
Through this ability, it is possible to halve the penalties inflicted by visual and auditory interference. The ability to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because this Skill allows for the prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from firearms. During his life, Escanor fought Gawain, Knight of the Sun, in numerous fights and encounters. However this is just a refinement of his own natural instincts.

Disengage: C
The ability to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat or reset the battle conditions. Bonus effect of returning battle conditions to what they were at the beginning of the match. The master can be included in this disengage as they are a maiden to be abducted. However, this ability is sealed during the day unless its to 'abduct' the master.

Combat Capabilities: An honorable Knight. However he does not duel in a more classic manner as Berserker. While skilled enough to face Gawain, he is not comparable to "Legends of the Blade" such as Lancelot if its just his skill with armaments. Manifesting with both armor and a sword, both are less and less useful as the day goes on since they cannot handle their own user. While cunning, he leverages brute force in a way befitting of the Berserker class. Escanor uses prana burst to devastating effect, giving him more combat utility then what you would think. During his time in the Throne of Heroes, he took the infinite time there to think up many "Special Attacks" and "Named Techniques"(Though most are just normal attacks...). They have embarrassing names to any other person. During night, he hides himself away as he is completely outmatched by even Casters in a melee.
