Name: Gawain

Title(s): Knight of the Sun, White Knight of the Round Table

Class: Saber

Gender: Male

Birth Date: Unknown

Death Date: Unknown

Alignment: Lawful Good

Catalyst: Lady Bertilak’s Green Girdle

Personality: He earnestly performs all sorts of work. Despite his serious character, he has no gloomy aspects and interacts with anyone in a sincere and polite fashion. While he may get enraged, since he never harbours negative emotions such as jealousy and malice, his attitude is refreshing no matter what kind of battlefield. According to the other Knights of the Round Table, "That lack of sarcasm is already a talent". For Gawain to have never been envied, despite blessed with talent and pedigree, was probably due his own good character and the natural airheadness to think of it as a matter of course, without ever being boastful. A loyal knight, his faithfulness to the king was like iron.

Gawain wanted to serve a true king loyally without questions or doubt like a true knight.

Appearance:


Bio: Gawain is one of the Knights of the Round Table that appeared in the Arthurian legends, also known as the White Knight of the Round Table.

If King Arthur was the night, the symbol of the moon itself, then Sir Gawain was the day, which shoulders the sun. He acted as King Arthur's impersonator in the royal castle of Camelot. In other words, he was one of the candidates to substitute the King after his fall. He is the bearer of the sister-sword to Excalibur, Excalibur Galatine. However, in his blind adoration for the King, he remained unaware of the King's agony. A loyal knight just like Sir Bedivere who took care of King Arthur in his final moments, but unlike Bedivere who wished for the King to attain happiness as a person from the bottom of his heart, Gawain wished for him to flourish as a king. Unmindful of such evaluation and intentions from those who surrounded him, Sir Gawain remained as King Arthur's right-hand to the end.

He never looked down on his enemies. Needless to say, he also never insults his enemies, confronting them with politeness and maintaining his fighting spirit and resolve even when the opponent lacks capacity. Remaining under the shadow of the King, he gallantly proceeds to the battlefield once the command is given and triumphs with a refreshing smile. Naturally, he was described as the ideal knight. His greatest regret was his dispute with Sir Lancelot. He was a knight who was equal to Sir Lancelot but was also incompatible with him, unable to forget that Lancelot killed his brothers, Gareth and Gaheris. With a pure personality, he was an ideal young warrior and thus his affection towards his relatives was greater than in others.

But in the end, King Arthur forgave Sir Lancelot; "I was at fault for everything". Gawain, however, never forgave Sir Lancelot's betrayal and remained hostile towards him to the end. That grudge not only cost Sir Gawain's status as a knight, but in the end even played a part in the King's ruin. Sir Gawain continued to reject Sir Lancelot when he attempted to participate in the Battle of Camlann even after being excommunicated and, consequentially, caused the death of both the King and himself.

During King Arthur's final battle at the hill of Camlann, Sir Gawain died after being struck by Mordred in an old wound inflicted by Sir Lancelot. Just as King Arthur reproached himself in the hill of Camlann, Sir Gawain, too, cried in his deathbed. His passion invited the King to death. He regretted that his grudge invited the ruin of the King and accepted his enmity towards Sir Lancelot - and even Lancelot's disloyalty - as coming from his own lack of virtue. Although his ending that did not help the king in the legend, that loyalty was sincere to the very end.

Thus, he was brought back as a Heroic Spirit. From this conclusion, the Heroic Spirit Gawain seems to perceive "being of assistance to the king" as his absolute mission. Now set free from all doubts, Sir Gawain regained his proper figure as a literal Knight of the Sun. Having become a Servant while retaining such an oath in his heart in order to correct his mistake, the regret of his past life, Sir Gawain serves his Master as an even more perfect "knight". All for the sake of becoming the cornerstone of a single, lonely king.

Weapon: Excalibur Galantine

Parameters:

Strength: B+

Endurance: B+

Agility: B

Mana: A

Luck: A

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance B - Magic Resistance grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. At B rank this skill will cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.

Riding B - Riding is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding. At B rank this skill allows most vehicles and animals to be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in, for they are no exception. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.

Personal Skills:

Charisma E - Charisma is a composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. In the case of Sir Gawain, this resulted in a 'Natural Knight' against whom no one could object.

Numeral of the Saint EX - Numeral of the Saint is a condition unique to Sir Gawain's existence. Only during the three hours between 9 AM and midday and the three hours between 3 PM and sunset, Gawain's power increases three-fold. This was related to the ancient belief that the numeral '3' was the sacred number of the Celtic gods.

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Excalibur Galantine

Title: The Resurrected Sword of Victory

Rank: A+

NP Type: Anti-Army

Range: 20-40

Maximum Number of Targets: 300 people

Description: Differing from Excalibur's centralized slash of light that destroys castles, Galatine brings forth a broad wave, radiation-type attack that completely annihilates an enemy army. Its sun characteristic is reflected in its activation like rays of heat from the sun. Gawain tosses the sword into the air where the pseudo sun inside creates a miniature sun before landing back in his grasp. While the sun floats overhead, he generates a large magic circle with a sun symbol in the center under him as he draws the sword behind his back. With a motion like drawing a sword, the pseudo sun, and the energy put into it, the attack extends as far as it is possible to visualize the blade of the sword, around thirteen kilometers, like its prototype, Caladbolg. He unleashes a horizontal slash of flame that pierces through the enemy and erupts into a giant ball of fire that engulfs them.

Name: Thomas Gardner

Title(s): Magister Templi, Third Order of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

Gender: Male

Age: 63

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Rank: Fes

Objective for the Grail: To bring the Holy Grail to the Golden Dawn, if only to throw it in their faces.

Command Seal: One jagged line standing vertical with two more crossing diagonally over it, like a bundle of twigs lashed together in the middle.

Personality: On the surface Thomas is a polite and charming individual, the very picture of an English gentleman. Having spent the better part of his life as part of what is essentially a secret society Thomas has developed a way of dealing with people that can best be described as diplomatic and restrained; he is friendly, approachable, and amiable and yet rarely if ever gives any sort of hint towards his true feelings or motivations.

A determined individual who is not easily swayed by others and someone with the fortitude to forge his own path and follow his own goals even if others seek to place obstacles in his path, yet savvy enough to toe the line and not make enemies unnecessarily. Just social acumen was needed to survive in the Golden Dawn, especially when he is seen as such a… controversial figure by many.

Bio: Thomas comes from a long line of Magus; not the most impressive line, not the oldest and their name hasn’t always been Gardner, but Thomas’ family have been practitioners of Witchcraft in Europe and Britain since the middle ages, engaging in both sides of the art as both black witches focused on curses and hexes and white witches focused on protection from the former.

Even with this age the Gardner Magic Crest is not as well developed as it could be. Being a witch in Britain has always been a hazardous occupation and the family has been forced into hiding a number of times over the years as the craze of witch-hunting rose and fell in popularity. In particular the writing of the Witchcraft Act of 1604 was nearly the death of the Gardner line and their Magic Crest was nearly lost during this period.

Thankfully they managed to outlast the witch hunters and the family survived, although diminished. Over time they began to recover and the complexity of their crest grew in leaps and bounds although it wasn’t until Thomas’s grandfather and great grandfather that the family truly began to flourish. They are the ones mostly responsible for making the family what it is, at least in terms of wealth and influence. Though it was also his grandfather than nearly ruined them.

Thomas’ grandfather joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn after being invited to be a member by another magus via their joint association with the Clocktower. Being a talented Magus in his own right his grandfather quickly rose through the ranks but was at the same time a controversial figure who upset a lot of people by publishing books on occultism. The books were complete nonsense which he saw as both a way to make money while also having some fun but others in both the Golden Dawn and the Clocktower saw it as potentially threatening to reduce the amount of mystery in the world by revealing secrets about Magecraft. In the end he was acquitted and no punishment was given, but the Gardner name was forever tarnished by the accusations.

This controversy has directly affected Thomas as well and means that a number of people within the order have taken a disliking to him on principle. It doesn’t help that his style of Magecraft is seen by some as out-dated, archaic or even barbaric in nature; it seems even Magi are not immune to developing certain stigmas around witchcraft. There have been numerous occasions where people have tried to question whether or not his family should even be allowed to keep their association with the order, citing his grandfather’s past discretions as reasons, and whether or not Thomas and his obsolete style of magecraft can possibly contribute anything of worth to the order.

This did not prevent him from climbing the ranks to become a member of the highest order of the Golden Dawn, as progress through the ranks is determined by skill and learning rather than politics, but he had to fight his way through opposition most of the way.

When Thomas first received his Command Seals he tried to keep it a secret, but it was not long before others found out and the expected arguing began. There were many who sought to argue against his participation in the Holy Grail war, that he should not be allowed to represent their order, even going so far as to suggest that the seals should be removed and given to someone else. Rather than argue in his own defence or try to convince the order to sanction his participation in the Holy Grail war Thomas opted to simply leave; he acquired a suitable catalyst from the Golden Dawn by what some would consider theft and headed for America, lacking the resources of the order to which he may or may not still be a member but backed by the considerable wealth of his family.

Elemental Affinity: Earth/Fire

Origin: Linking

Magecraft:

General Magecraft – The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is more than capable of teaching novices the basic magecrafts to the same level of competency as the Clocktower.

Elementalism – Those in the First Order of the Golden Dawn must study the concepts of elementalism and prove their understanding before moving on to the next level. Every member of the Golden Dawn who has advanced past this stage not only knows how to use magecraft that matches their affinity, they also have knowledge of all the other affinities they cannot use.

Bounded Fields – While knowledge of and even proficiency in the use of bounded fields is expected in the higher members of the Golden Dawn, Thomas has taken this understanding even further. He is capable of casting Advance Bounded Fields and Bounded Fields that are supremely hard to detect; over the course of many years he has honed his ability to combine Bounded Fields with his other specialties, particularly Sympathetic Magic, to create some interesting effects.

European Witchcraft – An old form of magecraft not much favoured within the Clocktower due to its close association with curses, European Witchcraft is as much to do with the protection and prevention of curses and afflictions as it is with creating them. Thomas is well versed in the common practices of European Witchcraft including scrying, divination (particularly that will allows for objects/people to be found), healing and protection from harmful magecraft. His particular focus in this area is in the creation and use of Poppets and other items.

Sympathetic Magecraft – A style of magecraft dictated by the laws of Sympathy and Contagion based on the idea that one can influence something, even people, based on its relationship or resemblance to another object. Thomas gained a basic understanding of this craft through his studies of European Witchcraft which makes use of Sympathetic Magecraft in places, particularly in the creation and use of Poppets. Finding himself particularly interested in the subject Thomas continued his studies in this area over the course of decades in order to become a true master of the art, even beyond what is often associated with European Witchcraft.

Crest: 600 years

Weapon:

Grand Poppet – The ultimate expression of Thomas’ art, the Grand Poppet is an item created by Thomas over the course of decades using the principles of European Witchcraft and Sympathetic Magecraft. It is a humanoid figure; a doll woven out of Thomas’ own hair and stained with his blood, creating a Poppet so steeped in Contagion as to be considered unwise or even obscene by other practitioners of his craft, were they to learn of it.

The aim of Sympathetic Magecraft if often to create an object that in some way resembles the object or person that the Magus is attempting to manipulate, but in many ways the Grand Poppet is more real than Thomas is and as such it attracts much of the harm that is intended for him whether that be magical in nature or physical.

Ring of Vampirism – A Mystic Code in the form of a ring which allows for the extraction of blood from a person over short distances, which is then stored inside a small internal reservoir. This object has an extremely short range, between five and ten feet at the most, and works best when in direct contact with the target with greater distances slowing the process of extraction. The target feels no pain and the quantities of blood being extracted are so small as to cause no negative effects to the target.

Image Capturing Glasses – A simple pair of glasses capable of capturing and storing an image of whatever the wearer is observing at any given time and recalling that image when requested.

Amplifier Staff – A simple amplification style Mystic Code resembling an ornate cane or walking stick. Intended to be used to strengthen Thomas’ elemental magecraft in particular should he ever need to get his hands dirty.

Exceptional Benefit: The considerable wealth and resources of the Gardner family.

Name: Andrei Ozhidani
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Rank: He has no links to any group that uses such a system. The unreliability of his craft means he could never accurately be called anything above a Cause, but one who saw him on his best day would probably peg him as a Brand.
Objective for the Grail: His whims shift from day to day, but he set out for the war with the intent of using the grail to equip his ancestral mystic code for space travel.
Command Seal: A grid of lines- perhaps a net. A jagged spike is driven diagonally through the grid, meaning two of the commands are the halves of the net, while the third is the spike.

---

Personality: A free spirit if ever there was one. Compared to Madame Blavatsky, who came up with things like "Mahatma" and "Lemurian Continent" to describe her unusual magecraft abilities, Andrei simply writes it off as "some stuff that happens sometimes." Andrei gives off the vibe of a totally casual guy who shuns the snooty mages of the association, and his regard for human life is a fair bit higher than normal for a mage, with his usual attitude to those in danger being "I'll put in a totally normal amount of effort to help you out!" He can't stand stagnancy in those around him, so he'll sometimes challenge their ideas and push them out of their comfort zones for what he sees as their own good.

The sort of person who would give up everything just to kick back on the porch with a lemonade, but then demand it all back the next day because he can't stop thinking about going to a rainforest.

Bio: The two-bit mage house of Ozhidani only gained any attention from the greater magic community in the 1800s, when it became common knowledge that theirs was the only magus family whose blood was in the ancestry of the exceptional and much maligned Madame Helena Blavatsky. That heretical woman, who had been born from a non-magus family inexplicably with never-before-seen mutant magic circuits, had extreme natural talent in magecraft, only being held back from greatness due to her nonsensical ideas and hatred for mainstream mages. Therefore, while they shunned their connection with her during her life, they immediately snapped up all her magical possessions and research after her death and went about trying to save their declining bloodline by triggering another such mutation.

They followed in Madame Blavatsky's footsteps, with each generation travelling to new lands and mirroring different aspects of her life in an effort to recreate her circuits. The arts of the Ozhidani were continually weakened as family heads tried introducing incompatible magecraft foundations in an effort to trigger the family's "latent versatility." Somehow, these nonsensical efforts paid off, and in Egypt in 2010 a baby was born into the family with abnormal circuits that seemed to reflect definite progress towards the state they were seeking. This was Andrei Ozhidani. The Ozhidanis had gone so off the rails at this point, however, that rather than announce his birth to the mage community and celebrate their family's new bright future, they all agreed that Andrei's uncle Pete should take him off to the American southwest in order to "find his true self."

After the pair left, the Ozhidani went right back to doing what they had been doing.

Andrei and Pete spent most of their time living in trailer parks in Arizona. Andrei studied magecraft when it suited him, but Uncle Pete emphasized the importance of "real life skills" and "wholesomeness of the spirit." The pair would cook up whatever fun activity came to mind, give a hundred and ten percent in doing it, and then begin scrounging up cash for the next one. When these red marks appeared on Andrei's hand, he asked around until he found out why, then left Uncle Pete at a motel and headed for Montana.

Name: Telamonius Ajax

Title(s): Ajax the Greater, Bulwark of the Achaens.

Class: Lancer

Gender: Female

Birth and Death Dates: unknown

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Catalyst: A fragment of her shield.

Personality: A silent, slow speaking warrior, who hides her intelligence behind a facade of being a muscle head. Slow to anger, but fervent in action, she matches the description of an unstoppable wall often used to describe her. She is however, very prideful, being confident in her own abilities, and not without good reason. A warrior of deep burning passion beneath calm icy exterior.

Bio: The great Greek warrior that followed Agamemnon to siege Troy, large in stature, second only to Achilles himself, but only in being faster than she was. In the Trojan war, she fought off many opponents, even almost beating down Hector himself, if not for the intervention of the gods. Such was her might, that she managed to hold off an entire army by herself, wielding only an enormous pole.

However, when Achilles fell, Odesseus won the rights to his armor, which Ajax resented greatly, thinking he had tricked her out of her rightful prize. For indeed, in her mind there was no one else who could truly say they were strong enough to truly be worthy of Achilles' armaments. Foolishly she turned to drinking, and deep in her cup, slayed a flock of sheep. Feeling remorse and regret at what she had done as well as the dual dishonor upon her, she fell upon her own sword and took her life.

Weapon: Spear and the shield, or she might use the sword given to her by Hector after their duel.

Parameters:

Strength: A

Endurance: B+

Agility: B

Mana: D

Luck: D

Class Skills:

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:
Bulwark of the Achaens: -
A personal skill derived from the feats she performed, it allows for her to utilize her usual fighting methods under incredible odds, powering her up the more dire a situation is. As the Bulwark of the Achaens, she was expected to be the 'Shield' that protects all of Greece. Thus, with all the expectations of her to 'Protect', she boasts high defensive qualities normally.

Eye of the Mind(False): B
Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning.

Projectile (Spears): B+
Without accounting for her own strength, allows for throwing objects with force rivaling modern weapons in destructive power. When throwing "spears" in particular, a correction is made.

Battle Continuation: B
As someone who can be stubborn as a mule, it encompasses her sheer bullheadedness and unwillingness to die even if she was killed on the battlefield. Being too stubborn to die sounds exactly like her, many of her comrades would agree.

Noble Phantasm:

Name:Rho Aias

Title: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens

Rank: A+

NP Type: Barrier

Range: 0

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: A bronze shield covered in seven layers of oxhide in its normal form, an absolute beast of a shield that many would describe as something Ajax would carry around like a wall. Indeed, with her large stature and its size, it has been used before by Ajax the Lesser as cover, while Ajax the Greater would simply defend him. Even in its base form it possesses immense defensive power. When its full name is released, it can be projected as a large shield with seven petals or seven layers, each having the defensive power of a fortress. A conceptual item that becomes an absolute defense against any projectile, though it may still be used defensively against other sorts of attack. Unless you were the absolute brute that Ajax was, who can and will use it to smash enemies. Especially against throwing weapons, it is extra effective. The shield is synonymous with Lancers body, so it will regenerate over time as long as she still has life. Conversely however, damage done to the shield is reflected on Ajax herself.

The original of the Rho Aias a certain archer copied, and thus far stronger than the fake.

****

Name: Glory of the Unconquered

Title: These Unblemished Hands Grasp Victory

Rank: D

NP Type: Anti Unit

Range: 0

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: The undefeated, the unconquered, not once had Ajax been beaten upon the field of battle, nor was she wounded even once. A staggering feat especially considering the Siege of Troy was one the gods took special interest in. Having no assistance from the gods, she performed outstanding feats, almost defeating Hector himself up to holding back an entire army armed with only a large pole. The only one to defeat her was herself and her sorrow.

Her strong desire to be the Shield of Achaea along with her feats of never being reliant on the Gods evolved into a form of grudge. It is a curse that crystallized as her body itself, becoming a distant mimicry of a blessing of immortality. It is incomparable to a gift given from the Gods, but still is a burden of the body. A condition of the mind and body that raise her damage resistance significantly as a form of purge defense. As well, a portion of damage received is converted into magical energy and stamina. After all- Ajax is never "injured". Even if harm is inflicted on her, it is to reach an inevitable victory.

Name: Frederika Bernstein

Title(s): None

Appearance:

Her family's crest lies upon her chest, and the Command Seals just above it. She tends to wear loose clothing, and short skirts.

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Rank: Cause:Open
Her official rank as far as the Magus Association was concerned, granted as a way for them to encourage her to be more involved with them. While she has good mastery over her family's craft to warrant this title, she does not do well in other fields, and thus this rank was little more than just a title.

Objective for the Grail: "Why am I in this? I just want a quiet life!"

Command Seal: An equilateral triangle separated at the middle point of each line, with a point at only the right side of each broken line.

Personality: Seemingly the stoic, silent type, she was more shy than anything else, unable to really muster up the courage to speak to more than one person at a time. Even then she would just as likely to deflate trying to speak to them. However, this did not mean she was submissive when it came to something she believed in, being rather headstrong if she truly believed in something, nor will she simply give up if she believed she needed to do something. A headstrong, but rather shy person, this would inevitably mean she tends to run off on her own. This did not mean she was averse to cooperating with another however, just that she finds it hard to even speak to people. If she truly needed to, she can and will work as best she could with another, though she still might find it hard to even speak to them.

Bio: Her family had always been the reclusive types, though they were known to the Mage's Association, thus she had lived in Germany for as long as she knew, learning her family's secrets and memorizing all the different rituals, the techniques involved in the rituals themselves and even how to condense them. After that, she was supposed to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors before her; travelling around the world to find more to research and assimilate into their craft. They believed that some day they will be able to reach the Root should they manage to fabricate a ritual that allowed them to do so.

Considering her family's goals, she did not really engage in anything much that was exciting, like a mage versus mage duel and the likes, until she encountered Executors hunting Dead Apostles. Even then, her involvement in that incident was limited to sheltering the Executors and devising traps for them to use.

Perhaps it was just as well, for she, like most of her family, had no real interest in getting involved with the politics of the outside world, much less the politics going on in the Mages' Association. Until, of course, she travelled to America, seeking to research and catalogue the shamans there, and got inevitably pulled into a Grail War without even realising it.



Magic Circuit Switch: A water droplet falling upon a pool, rippling outwards.

Number of Magic Circuits: C

Quality of Magic Circuits: A



Elemental Affinity: Water

Magecraft:
Formalcraft: A variety of Formalcrafts, ranging from ones passed down and recorded from ancient times to ones the Bernstein family had developed themselves. A simple one could simply be taking a bundle of hair, invoking a name and blowing upon them, while the more complex can take up to a day in incantation alone. One of her best rituals involves absorbing all the prana in the environment and amplify it for further use, depending on what else she drew upon the circle. More often than not, she would usually use that to power something else, though that was rare, considering her relatively peaceful life. Due to their focus in this, her family had streamlined many of these rituals to be far less time consuming, allowing he to enact even more elaborate rituals using just a few people or even with just herself.

General Magecraft: The basic of the basics.

High speed aria: Allows for faster casting, especially in her family's craft.

Item Creation: Due to their focus, it was hard not to dip into this area considering the myriads of rituals that involves making or enchanting an item.

Curses: Many rituals also involved these sorts of things, like hammering a straw doll tied with the hair of the target of the curse with a large nail. Thus, she has knowledge of this as well.

Crest: Near a thousand years old, it was mostly a collection of rituals, transcribed from foreign grimoires, lists of improvements and a few practical spells like Gandr. Thus, it acts mostly as a library of information for her when activated. A catalogue of spells and rituals her family had collected over generations essentially. Has a portion of its library sealed off. It was no trouble for her to unseal it, but there was several of her ancestors who went mad after unsealing it, before sealing it back with a warning to never open it. It became a sort of a family tradition that the crest would be inherited with words of warning about that sealed section. Trying to access while it was still sealed only gave her a warning and the words "That is not dead which can eternal lie."

Weapon: An Azoth sword, fashioned to look like a 14th century style cruciform sword, with the gem in the hilt. It becomes a sword only when it is activated, otherwise, it will be a gemmed hilt with no blade. A jade bracelet, designed to generate lines out of whatever she fed it, whether it be into specific shapes or just plain lines, or even just be lines she can control and manipulate.

Exceptional Benefit:
Support Magi- 10 average magi follows her, subordinates that served her family. Some are here to exchange their services for learning some of their long list of rituals.

Exceptional Benefit: A Supply Line formulated by Mina during her travels to this particular city. Seeing as her current location may as well be in the shadow of her home territory, moving supplies from home to her current workshop should be of no difficulty. She has used the ancient arts to create a protected spiritual "highway" of sorts using talismans; a wild track that promises safe travel between home, and home away from home. Breaching this defence would be difficult, so she has faith that this supply line will remain untouched by the enemy during her stay.

Due to the war's relative proximity to her family's headquarters, Mina was able to borrow her own land to summon her Servant on. Therefore, she will arrive at the war with her Servant already summoned. This does not imply any additional preparation time, as she is only just arriving in the city at the time of the war.

Personality: A tomboyish and stern individual who loves challenges and chivalry. A no-nonsense attitude similar to a military figure. "She's more than a man than most of us man!" - Mulan's fellow soldiers.

Weapon: Her primary weapon is a flag of the Qin Dynasty that she uses as a lance or a poleaxe. Her secondary is a short sword and a longbow.

Personal Skills:

Bravery C - A skill that signifies Mulan's bravery from her legends, preventing any mental interference or any effects that will hinder her resolve. deals bonus damage to melee.

Charisma C- hoisting the flag of the yellow azure dragon, She becomes a symbol that can boost the morale of her comrades in dire times.

The Ballad of the Heroine B- This skill combines the art of Military tactics and Eye of the Mind(True). She is capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament.

Chinese Martial Arts B- is a Chinese rationality. A value that measures one's mastery of the martial arts that made becoming one with the universe as its objective. Its learning difficulty is of the highest level and, unlike other Skills, it is at (A) Rank that one is at a level where one is said to have finally "learned it"

For Hua Mulan however, it's different. Being active during the time of the Tang dynasty, Mulan has accumulated a set of martial arts and wielding proficiently any weapon in that era (before and after enlisted in the army). A technique which she uses to enhance her stance and the way she fights, making her strikes more precise and deadly to any foes. Still, the rank of her skill is extremely insignificant than the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts like performing any incredible feats that only requires 'one strike' from a legendary martial artist, She has a long way to go to master this technique but never really do so. A jack of many trades and a master of none but a lethal striker nevertheless.

Description: A noble phantasm that conceals Mulan's identity. She must wear it at all times in order to keep her identity and lineage a secret. Manifesting from the fact that it was never once removed in public until her final moments serving the army, it hides certain sections of her parameters, even from her own Master, making it hard to discern even her gender when coupled with her full body armor. Her basic parameters and Class Skills can be seen, but status information pertaining to her personality and True Name as a Heroic Spirit, innate Skills, and data on her Noble Phantasms are hidden and cannot be read. Masking anything related to her True Name.

Aside from hiding her gender and identity, This armor has seen has seen many battles from its previous owners of war, a high grade of metal that can't easily be damaged. Legend has it, this armor is forged from the hardship of battle and fate-altering luck when a worthy warrior wears it into battle and when its true name is invoked, its true power will awaken.

Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-99
Maximum Number of Targets: 1-1000
Description: No retreat, no surrender, A noble phantasm used by Mulan on her stand, inciting her equipment to the point it might break, conditioning herself with the vigor of a thousand man, representing the spark that will ignite the flames of war, Defending her country from the countless foreign invaders.

When its true name is invoked, She manifests a spirit of pseudo-Chinese dragon of grand proportions that eclipse the heavens itself and will become the war general's mount as she rides it in combat. A manifesto of her unyielding fury that runs wild on those who she considers as foes and brings destruction in its wake, a beast worthy to turn the tide of battle. "It breathes life to those who stand beside it and death to those who oppose it, scorching the earth in a vortex of flames" as she would describe it.

However if Mulan has given up the will to fight, the dragon will become weaker and suffer as well. This beast is based on Mulan's resolve and willpower, how much she is willing to go beyond her limits. A noble phantasm worthy to be classified as an anti-army.

This is considered as the dynasties' trump card, wielded by the bravest of them all. "you'll never find a woman like that!"

Name: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Title(s): Prodigy of Russia, Master of Ballets

Class: Caster

Gender: Male

Birth and Death Dates: 7th of May 1840 - 6th November 1893

Alignment: True Neutral

Catalyst: Original Manuscript of 1812 Overture

Personality: Summoned as he is, Tchaikovsky is not the most pleased with his appearance but he believes he deserves it for how he treated his life. Although in life he was plagued by his own demons, now he appears optimistic and whilst still slightly cold, obsessed with his music like never before. Prone to humming symphonies and doing little dances, the Caster finds himself enthralled by the chances that life cna throw at them.

When conducting, he finds himself becoming much more flamboyant and cheerful, music being his lifes work and joy it sends him simply into a world of ecstasy. When it comes to meeting new people, he finds himself just as he used to, cheerful and excited to encounter those that can teach him, yet after too much contact will feel the need to keep to himself more. Not being quick to trust is something he considers an asset, but those that can win his trust will have the knowledge that he would kill or die for them if they are a trusted and beloved friend.

For the war, his wish is to have a chance to create a perfect symphony to bless upon the world and redefine his legacy.

Bio: Born in a small village in Russia, no one would know Tchaikovsky was destined for greatness. Destiny was something he didn't believe in and when growing up it was obvious he wasn't built for the working and military service that his father prided himself with. Taught by a French governess how to speak Dutch and French through most of the family's money in hopes that he might have some aspirations, the governess discovered his talent for compositions and even at such a young age his prodigal nature was discovered to be something of great importance.

Forced to go down the road of becoming a civil servant, the piano player and budding composer found no joy in his talents being held back so brutally. Forced to go down the route of music teaching even though he himself knew he was worth so much more, he found himself meeting a group called the Five. All of which were extremely talented musicians and composers, who saw that Pyotr had so much more than what was required of a budding academic. During this time with this group that encouraged and fuelled his desire to make music, he created his first pieces of music that would shake the world of music to it's core and breathe life back into Russia, something they had been sorely lacking for centuries.

From there, it kicked off. Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky became widely known, himself finding the fame and renown to not be a great thing but enjoyed it nonetheless. He began acquainting himself with his orchestras, saying that they were more than just people and that each player would be essential, forming more and more ballets and symphonies. He was awarded with the title of Doctor of Music and was even voted into the Academie Des Duex Artes in France, the first Russian to ever be considered for membership.

After his fame and music continued to grow and grow, more pieces being produced and Pyotr scared that he was losing what was most important for music. He was losing his heart in some pieces. His last piece, his sixth symphony, was premiered on the 28th of October, a piece many said was full of his heart and he himself called it a grand symphony. He conducted it every day following until he died. Many said it was cholera, but only a few could even suspect what could be the truth. It was true he was unhappy with life. He felt like a man trapped inside a child's body, his true art trapped inside him but forced to smile and be a happy little boy in the eyes of the worldwide public.

He was given another chance, to live again. He took it. This war, would give him a chance to redefine himself. Create a piece more outstanding and stupendous than anyone would ever know and make his legacy his own. Although, his feelings of being too young to be summoned compared to the ancient heroes have brought him in a younger form but with a voice that correctly represents him.

Description: Known around the world as the man who brought Russian music to prominence, who perfected his art in a most stupendous way and conquered all challenges of music that laid ebfore him. Although personally distraught and beset with doubt and fear, Illych brought life to the music scene of 19th Century Russia, his Overtures and Suites like nothing anyone had seen before.

His greates work, was the 1812 Overture. Famous for it's outstanding orchestra and use of cannons, it blew most of the world away with it's first performance and Tchaikovsky himself was invited to conduct it at Carnegie Hall. He himself feared it's failure yet it was his most famous piece.

The Noble Phantasm summons an orchestra that can travel alongside Caster with the use of it's true name. 40 strings, 20 brass, 20 woodwind and 21 cannons. Strings and woodwinds when playing around enemies incurs incurs a debuff, brass shoot condensed air, cannons are well self explanatory. Caster uses them often to accelerate item creation and territory creation and it also spreads musical inspiration further. When the strings are playing all enemies suffer debuff to their agility, which gets worse the more the strings play for. The Orchestra also helps Caster replenish mana if he has activated them in his territory or his second Noble Phantasm. This also allows Illych to have control of music and air in the way of magic, able to float and levitate himself as well as send small air blasts, all relating to his control of music and himself.

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Rank: Fes

Objective for the Grail: For The Grail War To Return To It's Original State

Command Seal:


Personality: Many back in China consider Chen to be reckless and one who disregards tradition, yet those closest to him knows that he respects his family's tradition closely of death over suffering. A charismatic individual who's renowned at the Order of Panhu for being a trickster and one who indulges in more modern activities as well as keeping his familial tradition of Illusionary taoist magecraft alive. He's a smug man who takes joy in making people work for his attention or validation as well as someone who knows who's in charge, being able to follow orders with an obedient nature built deep down into him.

Always one with crafty and ambitious tendencies, plan forming is also something the young mage is, an expert in strategy and deception thanks to his family's training and always one to make his presence when he's not on the job, a smarmy silver tongued youth is something he fames himself for being even though it has made many enemies in the Order.

Bio: The Dai family was one of the oldest families of the Taoist families, although it's unclear when the family began experimenting with magecraft it is known that 800 years ago was when their magecraft came into it's own. Specialists in illusion and trickery, the Dai taoists began to be sought far and wide by those who needed their help and as the family grew they began to drift and a small gathering remained of those who stayed true to China unlike those that drifted to Japan and Vietnam.

Over time the family became financially desperate and were enlisted by a much larger family to become part of them whilst remaining as the Dai's, the Dai's took this both as a slight and a blessing, owing their land and prosperity to the family as they continued to mature their craft. Over the years, the Dai's still remained loyal to the Order of Panhu, a mystical group of Taoists who followed the myth of Panhu the obedient dog and considered themselves the Panhu to China. Unbeknownst to the family that the Dai's owed themselves too, the family regularly attended Order meetings and also remained loyal to them on a much more anonymous standard.

Chen was born the first male Dai of the 21st Century and thus was gifted with magical circuits that the Dai's were amazed by due to their old habits and from a young age he was trained and tutored to master illusionary magic as well as survival instincts that would prove beneficial to the Order of Panhu. At the young age of 12, young Chen was brought to the now dwindlign Elders to show a glimmer of hope for the Order and they saw within him a magus ready to blossom. Trained by all manner of masters, Chen began to perfect his own methods of illusion and was even successful in crafting his own Mystic Code which the Council heavily applauded him for even though it took a lot out of him.

The Order saw his brilliance and realised the deception and assault capabilities of his skill set and began to put him to work. During their drought of success, they found targets of interest that threatened the taoist norms of Asia and those that directly antagonised the Order would have Chen Dai on their tracks and would dispatch them with haste. Although it scarred him when he was young, hebecame more and more used to it and found through effort a way to make it at least a little light hearted. He however became rather bored of being nothing but a blood hound and hunter for the Order and this irritation was obvious to the Elders who has basically controlled all of his actions from brith. The Order was something Chen was beginning to see the negative side of.

In order to keep him at bay, the Order instructed Chen to travel to America to participate in the Grail War in order to relocated the Grail to China, so that the grail war which attracts magic and mystic codes of all sorts could be taken advantage of by Panhu. he agreed, seeing something more than their objective.

Elemental Affinity: Ether and Wind

Magecraft: Familliar with the basics of magecraft, Chen is adept at using most normal aspects including bounded fields, natural defences, enchanting weapons and items and of course he is someone to often use reinforcement on himself to become a keen fighter at hand to hand. Due to this, he is a master at using magecraft in a fight to benefit himself including the use of air manipulation which he is moderately good at but in the end isn't his area of expertise.

His area of expertise lies in his unparalleled skill at using Taoist techniques to conjure up illusions and smoke screens and other related acts. He is able to conjure up almost perfect physical illusions that can seem almost life like, even having the capability to create and manipulate an illusion of a person as long as he puts his full focus into this particular act. Alongside this he also possesses the uncanny ability to use invisibility, his studying of Illusionary leading him to use this on himself as long as he doesn't do too many acts while invisible and then the shroud of the illusion will fall around him. Invisibility being a shroud he uses with illusions instead of actually becoming invisible to the naked eye. With weak willed people and some low tier magus, Chen has mastered the act of mental trickery and exploration, able to control and see through the eyes of people he has put under his control and those that he has marked he can delve into their minds at their most vulnerable which might just be when they have laid to rest.

Crest: 800 years

Weapon:

The Cards of Chen: The masterpiece that he kept him in bed for a month, a plain set of playing cards that Chen had since he was but a youngster and out playing with his friends he'd often play snap. Growing up in the Order he used to often drop into illegal matches and using his sleight of hand and trickery skills, would often use the cards to ensure victory. So when his father told him that in order to secure prosperity within the Order that Chen would have to blow them away with a machination of magic like none other, he found his old deck that was close to his heart and began working on enchanting them, playing cards something precious to many Chinese historians and traditionalists.

After completing them by infusing part of his own essence into it, it left Chen in bed for a month before he was back on his feet and ready for action again. The Chaotic nature of the cards represents this, every card is linked to that of it's own suit or own type and when in use, Chen can transmit his image through the cards so that he can be in the position not physically but like that of a magical hologram where he can observe and spy on where he has placed them. He cannot fully interact with any elements when transmitting himself through his cards but the cards seem to have no magical properties until he activates it to transmit his image through it. Although this is a very helpful and effective Code, Chen has trouble interacting with where he really is whilst it is activated, giving him a sort of split screen vision whilst activating his cards. However, due to the chaotic nature of his creation of them, they have only 80% chance of working first go.

Fangs of Panhu: Famed for his obedient and bloodthirsty nature under the king Di Ku, Panhu was the entity that the Order followed and believed they represented as the undercover society in China. To show their following of him, 12 knives were passed through the Order over the years, given to their most trusted and professional assassins, after at least 6 kills under the ownership of an assassin, the user would feel a magical connection to their knives.

Having had his knives for 7 years, Chen has formed a bond with the Mystic Code so that not only is it a particularly lethal knife with properties useful for rituals and circles it also has the ability to telekinetic ally attach itself to Chen, so that his dual wielding Fangs of Panhu can be controlled by him through his mind, causing them to float and return to him upon command, however he is unable to know where they are unless they are in his line of sight, otherwise he will be controlling them blind.

Amulet of Panhu: Although not strictly based upon the dog itself, the Dai family have passed along the amulet that represents the protection of Panhu down throughout the family for centuries. Powered more by the family's survival instincts the amulet when worn by a Dai family member can grant increased magical protection but once it's protection has been broken once it can take quite some time to be repaired again. It also begins to glow when extremely dangerous magic is incoming.

Exceptional Benefit: Supply Line - Thanks to the Order's minimal sway and control, they have ensured a line of supply is secured for Chen and that whatever weapons and materials he is required can be transported to him.

Name: Arthur Thompson
Title(s): Agent of Freedom
Gender: Male
Age: 45
Alignment: True Neutral
Rank: Fellowcraft - Knight Templar
Objective for the Grail: Arthur's goal is to establish domination over the Root. For himself and the Freemasons to have a connection to the root that allows them to dominate the magical fields.

Command Seal: Command Seal

Personality: Arthur is a full-time believer in the idealogies that have been preached to him. A full-time killer for those beliefs as well. He is not an evil person, but that is only because he believes so firmly that he not. As a result, he is a neutral force by sheer force of belief, who overcomes all adversity with the firm beliefs he holds, and cunning that was drilled into him by those beliefs.
Among people he is a tad... Uncomfortable. He often finds it difficult to sit in one place for too long. Often preferring to keep his hands busy, either with some kind of writing, or focus on other stuff. It's a nervous habit, since his nerves are almost always aware. This can backfire on him, as he can be too anxious to notice other dangers.

Bio: America, 1985, Arthur Thompson is born. It's a small home in the state of Arkansas. The Thompson's are Americans, at least they have been since the early 1920's. Famine in Ireland of all things. It was strange then that they managed to get into a masonry. After all, the freemasons were even then a strange group. And Arthur was raised in that society. That strange society. With his magic, and their interest in him.
He wasn't exactly all that high priority. In fact, they saw him as an asset. Not really a true American, despite never having left the country, and was born there to boot. Thus, when his parents passed away, car accident, he was trained to be their agent. Guns in particular became his favorite tool. Since mages still struggle when dealing with any kind of metal suddenly lodging itself into their fleshy bodies.
He acted as a hitman of sorts. Or better, an executioner. Ask no questions. Make no promises. Just find the target. Kill them, move on. Just accept that it makes the organization better. That it spreads the goals. No matter what they are.
In that result... Arthur has no idea what his desire is. Why the grail chose him. Or what he even wants. He's pretty much a gun with a name. A killing machine that is merely that. If he could make a wish... Maybe he'd wish to know what he wants out of life.

Name: Sargon of Akkad
Title: King of Battle, Sargon the Great
Class: Rider
Gender: Male
Birth and Death Dates: Mesopotamian Era
Alignment: Chaotic Good
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Personality: This is a conqueror. A true king, a powerful king. But not arrogant. Rather he is proud, like a lion. He is a man who rose to the top to become the perfect king. He is not a tyrant, but rather a man who shares his wealth with the people of his city. But it is not because he cares for his people, but rather his city. As long as they are in his city, they are welcomed and beloved, but if they are an outsider, or an enemy, he will attempt to subjugate them. To control them and make them a part of his city. Like another treasure.
To him, people are treasures. Things to collect. Collect and add them to his treasury. But he is not heartless, and keeps his treasures cleaned and well treated. In a way, if a treasure is reduced to having no value, he will raise it up. Because it is valuable to him.
This kind of mentality may be why Ishtar loves him so.

Bio:
He is Sargon. Conqueror and King undisputed. But he did not start this way. No. For he often claimed, and many around him agreed that his origins were humble, and his life simple. A blessing in a way for such a great man. Because life began in a temple. His mother was a changeling priestess of Ishtar, who was so heavily hidden by cloth that their gender remains unknown. Only that one day, there was a child, with their partner unknown. Some believe he could have been birthed from the divines. But a temple is not a place to raise a child, and wrapped in a blanket, and placed in a basket, he was sealed in tar and sent down the river. This is called the Ordeal. A challenge for convicts and those seeking divine blessing. Very few survive, and none a child. But Sargon did, and he was took in by a gardener of the royal palace. raised as a child there, he became the cup-bearer of the powerful king of Akkad. A man named Ur-Zababa.

It was a peaceful life, until the nightmares. Every night Sargon was besieged by dreams sent to him by Ishtar. In these dreams he was the lover of the goddess, and in those dreams he would see the king Ur-Zababa drowned. He refused to sleep, least he be tormented by these dreams of the king drowning, and his service slipped him. Eventually, even Ur-Zababa took notice of Sargon's fatigue, and while the youth refused to speak, he eventually relented. And he told Ur-Zababa of his death by drowning. In fear of the youth's dream, Ur-Zababa outlawed all bathing. But his fear only grew, and he saw Sargon as a threat. Turning to his trusted advisors he sent Sargon off to be butchered by bandits, but with the blessing of Ishtar he returned. Several times this happened, until Sargon returned to a furious king Ur-Zababa, who sought to kill the young man himself. Attacking Sargon, the youth protected himself, and in their duel he was forced to drown the king in a pool of his own blood. The people of Akkad were without ruler, and Sargon united them. For he was beloved by his people for his humble origins, and his kindness to those beneath him.

And yet his kingdom was not well. They were a poor kingdom built on clay, and the poorest starved almost daily. Going into the storehouses, Sargon offered daily bread to any who would join his army. Making no exception on weak or ill. He created an army of five thousand, almost all of his subjects, and he began a campaign of conquest. Striking out against his neighbors, his kingdom began to grow as he usurped others and took their possessions. By adding their fields and crops to his own army he was able to further protect his people, by rebuilding Akkad with this new wealth.

His conquest continued, and those that irked him faced his wrath. In certain tales, those that insulted his honor would have their entire civilization wiped form the face of the earth. Until he finally set his eyes on brilliant Babylon. The gods came to him, telling him to abandon his lust for the golden treasure vaults of legendary city, but he ignored them. He saw the black soil, and craved it for his own lands. Over the course of a year he besieged Babylon until it finally collapsed beneath his power. In order to commemorate his victory, he had his armies carry the fertile black soil to Akkad, where they would grow grand gardens. He took the hanging gardens, and emptied the vaults of all their belongings. But this was a truly evil action before the gods, and they cursed him.

They sent gods and divines to slay him, and yet Ishtar still loved him. He won every battle, and while his kingdom did suffer famines, he ruled as a fair and beloved king that was viewed as the greatest of his kind. In time, even Sargon passed on, and his people fell to tears. He had ruled for 55 years, and laid the ground works for an empire that lasted for over two thousand more. But in history, that was just a blip in time... But none forget about Sargon.

Normally, Sargon would appear in a different form. But as the love of Ishtar, who loved Gilgamesh as well, he has been changed to fit the form she adores most. This changes him to appear more like Gilgamesh, something he isn't fond of.

Weapon: Sargon is summoned with an armory of weapons. Swords, shields, and armor can all be summoned to him. What he doesn't have he can always create using his noble phantasm, all of which can be dematerialized until he summons it again to himself. Certain structures though, like builds cannot be dematerialized in that way.

- Military Tactics B: The tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
- Golden Rule A: Sargon pillaged many cities, and became the first true emperor of the ancient world. He once ransacked ancient Babylon, and claimed all its prizes for himself. But by that time, many of Gilgamesh's treasures had been scattered. Leaving Sargon with only the scraps of what the king of heroes left behind. But he still maintained a wealth that far outreaches even kings of other great nations.
- Conqueror's Charisma A: An advanced form of Charisma, born from the man who established the concept of building an empire. His presence can be considered an aura. A crushing weight of a man who all others copy. To the surrounding people, the strong intimidating air results in an intense "heavy pressure" that lowers the rank of their full capacity. In the case of an ordinary human, even seeing will prove to be difficult. It is possible to subvert this skill with a charisma of B, or a skill that nullifies the effects of charisma, like Nature of a Rebellious Spirit at a rank of B as well.

NOBLE PHANTASMS

Name: Lancelot
Title(s): Beast of Arthur's Court
Class: Berserker
Gender: Male
Birth and Death Dates: Arthurian Era
Alignment: Lawful Mad

---

Catalyst: A scrap of fabric from his cape.

Personality: At one point Lancelot was brave, kind, and extremely virtuous, embodying the very concept of a knight. However, now he is a madman, but a silent one. At almost all times, Lancelot is silent as the grave, even when in the heat of intense battle. He only lets out his voice when heralding an extremely powerful strike.

Appearance: Lancelot is an attractive male of strong stature and body. He has deep purple hair which is cut short and a gaze that could cut boulders, even with his mind addled with madness. However, his visage is always kept hidden behind a black helm and matching armor, fashioned with the hard lines and pointed details of a wolf.

Bio: As a young child, barely more than an infant, Lancelot's parents died, leaving him only with his father's longsword. He lived in homelessness, and gained both strength and skill by fighting for his life against various unsavory characters. By the time he was a teenager, he had already developed into a warrior of enough skill to be summoned as a Servant. It was at this time that he heard of King Arthur, peerless knight and monarch of Britain. He traveled to that place in order to meet this King, and when Lancelot arrived he saw them. Glorious, beautiful, with strength not just of body, but of conviction. He instantly knew he must serve this King, and charged onto the battlefield to lend his aid. The emotion he felt was the first sparks of something deeper than admiration. Unbeknownst to young Lancelot, he had fallen in love with the King.

He displayed great ability and bravery in this battle, and thus, the King granted him audience. He desired one thing only, to serve them as a loyal knight. The King's response was to make Lancelot a Knight of the Round Table. From this point, much of his life was the same as in the true history, including obtaining the sword Arondight. However, one day would change this all.

Arthur came before Lancelot, and asked him if he would bear a great responsibility. As King, Arthur must maintain a certain image. The kingdom needed a warrior who was both a knight and an executioner. Someone who could be sent out to slay the enemies of the crown, without mercy or remorse. Lancelot wholeheartedly accepted, and soon found himself constantly travelling to far away lands, finding those who had committed crimes against the crown, or conspired against Camelot and slaying them. His adventures took him to all sorts of climes and pitted him against all manner of foe. Humans, beasts, even a fire-drake, his armor being burned black under the heat of the dragon's hellish breath, but still it held. Every adventure was more taxing than the last, but greater than the physical hardship was the mental. He slipped further and further away from the image of a perfect knight and closer to that of an attack dog, frothing at the mouth and desperate for blood. However, his devotion to the King is what kept him going.

Truly, his transformation into the Hound was completed the night Queen Guinevere came before him.

While on reprieve from a particularly harrowing mission, Lancelot was approached by his Queen, with whom he'd developed an easy friendship. She listened to his trials and tribulations, shared with him his pain, and congratulated him on every victory. She was a true friend to him, and while he could only truly devote his being to the King, there were few things he was unwilling to do for the Queen.

However, he could not have anticipated what she would tell him. She confessed great secrets, secrets that rocked him to his core. The King was a woman, and she had only married to satisfy the image of a perfect governing body. In addition to this, Guinevere had fallen in love with Lancelot. She suggested that they flee Camelot, and if Artoria sent the Knights of the Round after them, they would threaten to reveal her secret to the whole kingdom. However, Lancelot's dedication was to the King and not Guinevere. He seized her and brought her before the King, demanding she reveal herself to Artoria. However, Artoria saw "Guinevere" for what she truly was; the evil witch Morgan le Fay. The King turned to Lancelot and gave the order to slay the witch.

Lancelot did not hesitate. He slew the witch, and later, when the real Guinevere appeared before him, he believed it was another trick, some sort of sorcery, and he killed her, as well. When he discovered that she had been the true Queen, he was overcome with grief, screaming into the night all of his anguish. However, Artoria had come to love Lancelot as well, and selfishly would not punish him, would not have him executed. She merely told him she understood why he had made the mistake he did. From that day, Lancelot never spoke. He distanced himself from the other Knights. His transformation was complete, and upon severing the last bond he had to knighthood, Arondight shattered, its pieces sinking into the armor and flesh of the once proud knight.

However, the greatest threat to the crown had been destroyed, and Camelot survived far longer than it was ever supposed to. Without le Fay alive to create a certain homunculus, Artoria never died, nor did her Knights of the Round, the light of Excalibur granting all of them immortality. Camelot expanded, no longer the ruling power of Britain, but the ruling power of the world. They were the eternal watchers and rulers of humanity, and Lancelot gained a reputation among them as Arthur's Monster, a boogeyman figure. If you ever saw him, your death was a certainty.

Under their control, however, humanity never again evolved, instead stagnating. Eventually the world degraded and came to consider itself "not viable".

Weapon: His mighty greatsword Arondight.

Parameters:
Strength: A
Endurance: A
Agility: A
Mana: C
Luck: B

---

Class Skills:

Mad Enhancement (B) - Rank up for all parameters, but takes away most of sanity.

In his strange timeline, Lancelot was more beast than man, fully capable of cutting down anyone who the King deemed "an enemy of the Kingdom." Regardless of how close he may have been to that person, he would destroy them just the same. That unwavering loyalty has remained a part of him, even when all other traits are muted by his madness.

Personal Skills:

Executioner (B) - A skill that increases damage towards those of the Evil alignment. Also, a Servant will become a target if his/her actions are regarded by the user as evil. Severing evil by means of evil; the ultimate judgment act.

Lancelot ceaselessly hunted down all the evils of the world, the executioner of the Immortal Round Table, until the world itself could no longer support such a concept.

Eternal Arms Mastership (A+) - Prevents degradation of fighting skills when under the effect of mental hindrance.

Mastership of combat arts has reached the point of being said to be unrivaled in one's era. By complete merging of mind, body and technique, it is possible to make use of full fighting skills even when under the influence of any sort of mental hindrance.

Logic of the Wild Beast (C) - A combative way of thinking resulting from transforming into a beast. It's not useful for finding weak points, but the speed of thinking focusing on killing the enemy swiftly increases. If combined with the skill Self Evolution, the speed of defeating an opponent increases even further.

Even in a mind clouded with insanity, Lancelot remains extremely adept in slaying foes.

Self-Evolution (B+) - Allows the user to temporarily apply a + modifier to any stat except luck.

A hero, a knight, and an executioner, Lancelot must always be evolving, growing, rising to any challenge laid before him.

Rank: A
NP Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: --
Description: Lancelot was supposed to be the perfect knight, but his mission sent him down another path. He was forced to break the codes and tenants of chivalry so many times, that eventually, his long-time companion Arondight, shattered into pieces. Those pieces fused with his armor, even his flesh, and became this Noble Phantasm.

Lancelot can pull any number of swords from his body and wield them in combat. These swords are all Noble Phantasms, pieces of Arondight itself, and thus can stand up against other weapon-type Noble Phantasms in combat without breaking. When under attack, swords erupt from the armor, jutting out in all directions to deter attackers. Every sword is a shard of Arondight, and retain it's dragon-slaying properties. Servants with the dragon sub-type take extra damage from Lancelot's attacks.

Name: Secace
Title: Reforged Holy Light
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-25

Description: Secace was the sword Lancelot wielded against the Saxons in the correct history. Here, however, it is the physical representation of the last vestiges of Lancelot's chivalry. When invoked, Secace emits a golden light that shines on his chosen enemy. That enemy is forced into a duel against Lancelot, one where neither party may flee or accept outside aid. In truth, the golden light reveals the sword's true identity as the reforged Caliburn.

Name: Jacob Winchester
Title(s): Magus of the Metal Arm; Jake
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Alignment: Chaotic Good

---

Command Seal:

---

Personality: Jacob is confident, and has the air of a cocky, brash magus. The reality is he is very cautious and wise, always weighing his options and making backup plans for every possible scenario. He is very independent, never truly relying on anyone else, and prefers to do things himself. Whatever he can't do himself, either for lack of skill or time, he at least likes to oversee the proceedings. He is a shrewd businessman, but that isn't to say he's given up his humanity. He is capable of love, fear, anger, joy, and fits of raucous laughter just like anyone else.

Bio: Jacob is the heir to the Winchester family, known by most to simply be the family behind the Winchester rifle, and the Winchester Repeating Arms company, but the truth is they are also an old American magus family. At the time of Jake's birth, however (August Seventh, 2001) his family had fallen pretty far. They had gone bankrupt, lost full ownership of the company, and were swimming in troubles, recalling weapons left and right, suffering flop after flop. Jake's father believed that it all stemmed from that damned house, the old Winchester Mansion, haunted by the spirits and grudges of the people who had lost their lives to a Winchester Rifle. As a young child, Jake saw how the curse of that house had affected his parents. Instead of walking with pride, they were constantly stressed, their very emotions being robbed away by the rapidly falling status of their name. He decided he would do something about it. He put his incredibly high willpower and determination to work, studying extremely hard both in standard education and in his education as a magus.

By 16 he had graduated high school and was taking classes in college, majoring in Law, but also studying various welding, technology, and engineering classes. By 24 he had achieved double degrees in Law and in Engineering. He worked as a lawyer, rapidly making as much money as he could, while using his free time and personal funds to build his project that he knew would win him back his family's company. At 26 he unveiled the DS-10, a powerful handheld firearm that people all over the country were clamoring for. Almost overnight Jake became a millionaire. He used his newly acquired fortune to purchase the full ownership of Winchester Repeating Arms and changed the name to Winchester Firearms. Under a new name and a new leader, the company took off, becoming the number one gun manufacturer in the States. Jake supplied every branch of the U.S military, becoming a celebrity in the process.

Sometime after his 25^th birthday he purchased the family's old house back, and over the course of four days, he and a team of exorcists forcibly removed every spirit inhabiting it. On the final day, as he expelling the final spirit, a cave-in crushed his right arm, leaving a stump in its place. He then had the house demolished and sold the land to the state of California for a dollar, after a less than brief stay in the hospital, of course. He opted to have another mansion built in Atherton, California. With the curse expunged, he was free to enjoy his success and continue to build on it, dabbling in cybernetics. The first successful model was a prosthetic arm that he used to replace his destroyed one. His home in Atherton had a basement installed that serves as his workshop, where he combines firearms and technology with magecraft, offering the results to the Government Agency of Magecraft, making a number of friends in the process. It was them who informed him that America had stolen the Grail, and was about to play host to a Grail war.

Seduced by the notion of an "omnipotent wish-granting device," and having been chosen to be a Master, Jake has decided to take part in this war, applying his unshakable determination towards a new goal; winning the Grail.

Weapon(s):
Azoth Blade
Winchester XLAWS-5.56 (Experimental Lever-Action Weapons System): A modernized version of the classic Winchester lever-action rifle design that is still undergoing testing to be eventually shipped initially to the Freemasons, with plans for an alternate version going to the United States Armed Forces. The gun has a port, allowing it to be connected to a computer to fix software issues, as it also contains an onboard computer that runs recoil prevention software, making it a very accurate firearm. This version is designed with magecraft in mind, and can be loaded with special rounds that have a flash-frozen mercury casing and a crystal head. The crystal bullets are infused with the Gandr curse.
Winchester DS-10: The symbol of Winchester Firearms in 2030, the HS-10 took the world by storm, rapidly becoming the sidearm of choice for armed forces and law enforcement in the U.S and a large number of other NATO countries. It is a revolver chambered in .45 acp with twin barrels, capable of firing two rounds at once. Doing this eats through ammo very quickly, but the dramatic increase in stopping power is undeniable. In addition to this, it has a special, disposable cylinder that ejects from the side with the press of a button. Another cylinder slides into place and the weapon is ready to fire again, making it a revolver with a naturally fast reload. Jake has a modified version that he handcrafted to be compatible with both his arm's interface functionality and with the Gandr rounds he is fond of using.
"The Duster": A padded trench coat that has kevlar and armor plating to prevent mundane forms of damage, as well as a hardening spell to protect against physically damaging magic attacks.
