The legendary king of the Lapiths, son of Dia and Ixion.

As per the various disjointed accounts that make up what is left of his legend, the greatest friend of the great hero-king of Athens who participated alongside him in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar. Their first meeting, however, was far from what one should imagine.

Having heard rumors about that man’s strength and courage, he decided to confirm them first hand, electing to steal Theseus’ herds from Marathon and lead him on a wild chase. Naturally, the Athenian gave pursuit, and so Pirithous set himself on a collision course with the hero that was proclaimed as “second only to Heracles.”

They took up arms against one another. And after clashing to a draw, they became so impressed with each other that they solemnly declared one another sworn brothers, laying down their weapons and embracing.

Fragmentary tales accompany this — his marriage to Hippodamia and the ensuing battle that received the name of the Centauromachy, the kidnapping of Helen and the aforementioned hunt — but perhaps the most famous segment involving the friends was the blasphemous attempt to kidnap the wife of the Lord of the Underworld, Persephone herself, to marry her to Pirithous after his mortal wife had passed away during childbirth.

Truthfully speaking, it seems as though the man took the hard road at almost every turn, and if one were to ask him. . .

“What’s the point if you don’t go all the way?”

Steal from a man and challenge him to mortal combat to witness his valor and rage, then immediately become his friend. Utterly trample and destroy an entire tribe in the heat of the moment. Attempt to kidnap a goddess instead of settling for mortal beauties.

Simply because it is worthwhile. Simply because it is fun. Simply because it lies within your reach.

A man who lived for the sake of testing boundaries, a man that only finds exhilaration in witnessing people at their best and their worst with no barriers to stop them. A provocateur that wishes only to instigate that which should be left well enough alone. In that regard, he would “get along” with a certain French figure.

Lascivious, vulgar, transgressive. . .basically, he is just the worst.

---

Ability to negate the effects of magecraft, differing from the “resistance” of a magus.

In his case, he may defend unconditionally against magecraft with a chant below two verses, but it cannot cope with the likes of High Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals.

---

Ability to observe and understand people.

It is possible to make notes and grasp the circumstances behind one’s actions and thought processes. In his case, it was what he employed to match that man that was hailed as the “second greatest hero” of their age — by means of observation and comprehension, it became possible to enact a mimicry of that ridiculous fighting technique so as to match it with his own. It appears he is very well suited to learn so long as it is "a way to hurt others."

. . .Ordinarily, it is merely a trait that denotes the fact that he has a good eye for what is presented before him, but with regards to “unveiling and hypothesizing about someone’s trauma and dark secrets,” it can be said that his quality jumpstarts to first class. In that regard, it becomes possible to make extrapolations regarding the opposite.



Refers to the ability to suppress an enemy Servant’s fighting spirit to the point wherein dialogue can begin. In the circumstances of a Holy Grail War, it allows one an advantageous check when constructing temporary alliances — in other words, the ability to make an opponent lower their guard and listen to what one has to say.

Perhaps paradoxically, the effect is only shown at its fullest if Lancer utilizes it after having harassed the opposing Servant, rather than the opposite — indeed, utilizing this Skill following a clash against him is the only way to convey that Lancer truly is a “solid bloke.”



A mutation of the Skill Incitement. Fundamentally speaking, “philia” as a term in greek culture refers to a bond of deep friendship, developed through camaraderie and encompassing the willingness to sacrifice oneself for another and sharing one’s emotion with each other.

Indeed, it is all those things, but it appears that Lancer’s nature has caused the mutation to be far less benign than what it would imply. By means of words and gestures, Lancer shares and ignites those desires that none would dare give voice to, distorting the very concept of friendship in order to turn a bond that should bring out the best in both individuals into “something that makes one’s worst sides rear their head.”

On the condition that the target thinks of Lancer as a “friendly figure,” it becomes extremely difficult to ignore the seeds planted in the back of one’s mind. Because for Lancer there is no pleasure in simply “forcing someone to act a certain way,” categorizing this as a simple mental attack is incorrect — it can be considered a kind of oratoria that causes the target to become inclined to internalize Lancer’s doctrines of their own free will.

In other words, it is the aptitude to be a “bad influence.”

---

“Punishment for friendship.”

As the tale once went, Lancer had convinced Theseus to follow him to the underworld in order to kidnap Persephone herself and marry her, and bound by oaths of brotherhood — as well as believing himself as beyond reproach as Lancer had assured — the king of Athens agreed to the foolhardy task.

Once there, they were both confronted and tricked by Hades, who punished Pirithous and Theseus in equal measure due to the blasphemous nature of their quest, only allowing Theseus to be saved by Heracles some time later, but keeping Pirithous trapped for eternity.

Lancer’s Noble Phantasm is thusly not some glorious weapon, or the embodiment of legendary deeds — but the very essence of his greatest failure, representing the divine curse of Hades’ retribution and the betrayal of a friend that drags one into the underworld with him.

Generally speaking, for a “Noble Phantasm of godly punishment,” it could be called pathetically weak under most circumstances, simply because the singular acts of those who are targeted by it do not matter — just as Theseus, the target is judged on account of “how much they have trusted Lancer’s advice up to this point.” Those that have followed his instructions, those that have let themselves be swayed by his serpent’s tongue, those that believe themselves as invulnerable as that king when he embarked on that mission are the only targets it can operate at full effectiveness again.

The divine justice ordained by the great god, the divine castigation brought forth by the furious god. Its range of effective targets is vanishingly small, but Lancer boasts that, should it reach the height of its performance, not even the strongest hero could hope to withstand it. An absolute strike against hubris carrying the full weight of Hades, impartial and unerring.

In that regard, Lancer’s accursed nature as a hero is a dark mirror of the tragic nature of a certain Valkyrie, wielding her spear of love and hate to slaughter what is most precious in this world.

Such is the doom associated with Lancer’s spear. Such is the destiny he bears as a slave to his own story.

Never to be a warrior that splendidly defeats his enemies or a great champion that defends others, but a rare villain that exhibits his full power only in committing the blackest of treacheries. A kind of antagonist whose only role is drag shining stars down to his level through foul play.

A Noble Phantasm with an incredibly narrow focus, but perhaps because of that, it can be said that so long as it acts within such scope, it is absolutely without peer.

“Snakes always did fit me better than horses.” Is what the person himself said.

Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Objective for the Grail: Steal the grail and then throw it into space, because that sounds like the rudest thing she could possibly do.
Command Seal: An eye glaring, surrounded by a halo.
Personality: A human that has yet to experience despair, for one reason or another. A strange girl that carries with her an undeniable sort of charm, although childish and erratic in its nature. A part of this charm is the fact that Ahez thinks in extremes, believing that something like ‘moderation is, obviously, something for babies and web forums, and as such leads to her radical position on the Clock Tower and how things ought be, and she has little hesitation in following her unreasonably direct principles.

But it does create a question; did she become the sort of maniacal cartoon mastermind as a result of this thought process, or was she born with a destiny to become one? For despite her youth and childishness, she nonetheless has the wit and intelligence to remain at the head of a deeply rooted underworld organization filled with much less cartoonish characters, who follow her willingly.

Biography: A girl who has been Zeroed. Through some means or another, the history of Ahez prior to her emergence into the midnight world is nonexistent, beginning when she was actually much younger. It has created an odd experience for those around her, watching a literal child grow into something slightly less of a child, yet nonetheless commanding an almost kingly presence, albeit largely absent of the regality expected.

The girl was a child when she embraced her role as one who enacts change. And now the name ‘Ahez’ is one of repute among the bickering factions of the Clocktower, one which most can agree is far too radical to allow into the discourse, even if she should be the unrequited ally of some. While her exact lineage is unknown, it is suspected she is from a family at least four centuries old.

Thief, terrorist, tormentor. Fool, false, fanged -- she has been described in many ways by her ‘peers’, known for leading spellcasters and more chaotically aligned magus into her way of thinking, be it through monetary bribes or simple conversation.

“Nyahahaha! Elrod, you silly old man! You can’t honestly expect such gentle ways to bring the change you want, can you?! Just leave it to me, and my Garuda Canticle!”

Taught in the fundamentals of Magecraft and beyond, although her education has always been less specific to herself, due to the types of people she has surrounded herself with for her education. Instead she has a very ‘practical’ sense towards Magecraft, effectively a Spellcaster more so than a researcher, but she nonetheless retains the designation of ‘Magus’. She is interested in the Truth, although her route is radical and hardly guaranteed to provide results in her lifetime, but that is linked to her Mystic Eyes.


Certainly different from a Workshop, a Lair is where true masterminds plot their nefarious plots. Wait, that’s repetition. What’s so different from a Workshop you say? Well, they’re Evil aligned. Trust me.


The oldest artistic expression. The movement of the body to convey meaning. The oldest ritual. To dance.

The Yaksha Dance is hardly the only form of Magecraft which uses dance as an associative medium to enact rituals. The Yaksha Dance is a performance to which entertainment is merely considered an ideal, rather than the intended effect. A Magecraft based on an older method recorded by Bharata Muni, an ancient practitioner and theatraologist, it was actually developed in the past three centuries by someone linked to Ahez after residing in India.

The movements and spells of the Yaksha Dance are divided into two distinct schools: the Tarkshya Steps and the Vynateya Acts. The Tarkshya aspect can be seen as individual movements that are enhanced, parts of a performance that are in and of themselves enhanced through the gesture of the enaction, the movement acting as a ‘trigger’ for her Magecraft. Visually, it is none too dissimilar from the Sensou style of Demon Killing techniques, even allowing one to step through the air.

The Vynateya Acts are more visually recognizable as Magecraft, clear cut rituals and spells done through the body. It is a craft that resonates with the idea of combat based magecraft, effectively turning the likes of utilizing Magecraft in such a manner into a Martial Art. The intent is to weave together different Acts into strings of coherent dance, creating a dynamo-like effect when utilized alongside Wind Magecraft that only empowers each subsequent Act. The further the Act, the more fervent and energetic the movement, the stronger the Magecraft becomes.

There is a hidden school of techniques within the Yaksha dance revolving around illusionism and entrapping the mind within ‘alternate worlds’, although this is a form of Magecraft reserved for those who resonate deeply not just with the Magecraft, but the art of it too.


The study of chimeras. Naturally, this study also implies the creation of them. This can be anything from the iconic, multi-beast fused monsters, or humans with various animal traits meshed into their blood to give them an enhanced condition. A practitioner of Chimerology can effectively make their own familiars from the ground up, as opposed to converting a corpse.


Actually Pure Eyes. A symbol of her pedigree as an Ideal King, although a twisted one. Her Mystic Eyes grant her the ability to see potential futures, but only those that could otherwise be described as a ‘dead end’, or ‘disasters’. The causes and effects of those realities are known to her, although she can only see so many. She keeps a record of each future perceived, and considers how they may possibly be averted. Visions of such futures can occur at convenient times, such as when the ‘dead end’ relates to herself, and allows her to then move away from that ending. A contributing factor in her skill as an escape artist.


King of the Lost Ones. To be born an Ideal King is a terrifying burden.

Crest: 4th Generation
Weapons:
Unukalhai: Gripped Neck of the Serpent
Seeking out the most immediate doom, and strangling it. A Mystic Code born from Ahez initial struggles with her clairvoyant eyes, Unukalhai filters out her 'vision' of Disaster into her other senses, effectively diffusing the 'medium' of the Mystic Eyes into a sort of acute sixth danger sense, instilling her with the awareness of imminent and potential harm without inflicting the 'vision' of it, allowing her to react faster than she otherwise would. While it does nothing for far-flung visions, the futures 'born within the moment' become more tangible than ever.

It is also on some level a filter through which she views the world. In that way, she does not share the same vision of the world to everyone else. How Cartisian.

Mutagenesis Injector
The creation of a chimera is busy work, so the Mutagenesis Injector is a blessing. A large needle which takes the ‘reagents’ of a chimera, and injects them directly into the subject while accelerating the alchemical and thaumaturgical processes into a matter of moments as opposed to weeks. When done in an improper environment, it creates the real risk of a rogue chimera, a creature which is not bound to any one Magus and develops chaotically until its eventual self-termination by energy expenditure.

Dancing Queen: Gloves
Movement Direction Units, Dancing Queen. A Mystic Code that comes in two shapes, the first of which is as a pair of gloves. Synergizing with her dancing and the movements of her arms and hands, Dancing Queen enables the creation of ‘cutting air’ with Ahez’s dance, and even without. In essence a means of greater control, shaping and empowering of her wind magecraft. A supporting crutch for Ahez’s natural abilities more so than a deadly weapon in its own right.

Dancing Queen: Boots
The deadly evolution of Dancing Queen. Ahez’s speed increases by an order of magnitudes, dangerously so even, and actions undertaken with Dancing Queen are blindingly quick. This form of Dancing Queen enables Ahez’ most violent dances, although at the cost of exceeding the limits of what even an enhanced body can endure, quickly burning her out.

Description:
Durindana, it is the Italian reading of “Durandal”. Namely, Hector is the original owner of the “Ultimate Unbroken Hallow” Noble Phantasm that was in Roland’s possession. Because there are no holy relics located in its hilt, it is limited to being a simple Noble Phantasm that merely causes a large amount of damage…

Although he cannot use both the sword and the spear simultaneously, even if he is summoned as either a Lancer or a Saber, he will always possess both the sword and the spear Noble Phantasms. To defend against this thrown spear, one must prepare a defensive Noble Phantasm that is at least equivalent to “Rho Aias”.

Also, both True Names of the two forms are strictly called “Durindana”, so even if the second half of the names are omitted, it is possible to activate them as Noble Phantasms

Name:
Wynter Lobos

Title(s):
"The Mistake"

Gender:
Female

Age:
17

Alignment:
Neutral Good

Rank:


Objective for the Grail:
To learn everything she can to improve her family's wealth of knowledge, and/or to make her Servant remain after the war for study.

Character Objectives:
Primary: Survive.
Primary: Earn the respect of her family.
Secondary: Learn from the other mages and Servants.
Secondary: Have fun.

Command Seal:
Three arrows pointing outwards that are connected at the center, with the right angles from the points forming a triangle.

Personality:
A shy but proud girl, she could be described as boringly, utterly average. She's more likely to apologize with roses than to smell them along the way, and she exudes an air of "what am I even doing here?" in her everyday life, let alone when it comes to magecraft. She is not very talented when it comes to magic, but she is physically far above average in almost all respects.

Bio:
Wynter is the third generation of her family in terms of magecraft. Or rather, she would be if she weren't dubbed a complete failure by her father for her innate lack of ability in terms of practicing magecraft. While she mastered and nearly improved upon the first spell she learned, Gandr, she has been unable to use any other spells she has learned in her seventeen years.
Her lineage is a short but otherwise average one that focuses mostly on the pursuit of knowledge in all forms rather than a specific field of study. This of course means that while her father, the current head, is versed in most types of magecraft (at least in theory) he doesn't excel at any of them. Wynter is much the same way. While she is not the heir apparent to her lineage it could be argued that she would make as good if not better a candidate than her older brother, who has nearly the entire family crest already instilled in him, due to her eidetic memory and slightly superior magical circuits were it not for her shortcomings. As the "lesser" child, Wynter is more seen as a back-up and assistant than anything else, leading to her having prepared the Servant summoning ritual in her father's place. While conducting her final preparations, she accidentally completed the ritual herself, leading to her involvement over the others in her family. Naturally, this infuriated them and they have essentially left her for dead, believing her to have no chance whatsoever at victory no matter how much they were to assist her.

Born: 1567
Died: June 3, 1615 (aged 47–48)

Alignment:
Neutral Good

Personality:
Normally carefree and reckless, he is fiercely loyal to his "Shogun." He considers his own life to be forfeit and simply a stepping stone for his Master, though he would greatly prefer not to lose it easily or waste it. He tends to try to find loopholes or stretch the boundaries of instructions and commands whenever he can. Despite his own strong self-confidence, he takes great pride in not underestimating his opponents or his allies, always trying to demand exactly as much as he can without overwhelming them. In part because of this, he loves drawing out one-on-one battles but will quickly put down enemies if outnumbered.
He answered the call to the war simply to fight strong opponents once again. He feels that he was cheated out of victory by being challenged when he was too weak to fight, leading to his death, in the Battle of Tennōji. His wish is to be reborn into a peaceful life in the modern age.

Character Objectives:
Primary: Prove that he is the strongest Sengoku-era hero.
Primary: Befriend the other Sengoku-era heroes.
Secondary: Explore the modern world.
Secondary: Learn about modern culture.

Noble Phantasm:

Name:
Sanada's Castle

Title:
The Last Breath of the Sanada

Rank:
A+

NP Type:
Anti-Army

Range:
N/A

Maximum Number of Targets:
N/A

Description:
This NP summons the castle that Sanada held until his death to a location where it becomes fixed as a permanent structure. (At least until his defeat) While inside or defending it from invaders, Yukimura's defensive power increases drastically, making it a very powerful Noble Phantasm just by this effect alone. It is heavily barricaded and has many secret passageways and exits, making it the ideal location for a base of operations. It also contains enough rations and weapons to survive a four-day siege, as well as having several canons for ranged defense and countless nameless soldiers to assist in defense, though they are effectively useless at anything else.
The true power of this Noble Phantasm, however, is that its power increases for each Servant that resides within as an ally. The castle's already considerable defenses increase drastically with each new Brave, alongside the various soldiers within. Yukimura himself gains a further increase in defensive power should enough Heroes be present.
The structure takes the form of three square sections each of which is surrounded by a moat, forming a large central area and two side areas where additional rooms are located, connected by walkways both overhead half a story up and underneath the ground in the form of tunnels through the moats. It is a resplendent Castle where Heroes naturally gather and may show their abilities to the fullest, a place that is always advantageous ground for the owner and his Braves.

Objective for the Grail: To reach the root of course- her way.

Character Objectives: Major objectives- to prove to the family that their now declining combative arts are not a dead end and to prove to herself that her own talents have not diminished in any way. Minor objectives- meet exciting new people, share stories and drink, then kill them… Maybe drag a husband home.

Command Seal: A simplified hannya mask, the three segments consisting of the main body of the mask and the two individual horns.

Personality: Vicious elegance, a grotesque and unnatural kind of grace that defies the natural order and tramples over others to assert itself, the very essence of a beautiful tyrant. Not to be confused with the aspect of a spoiled princess who is never told no, hers is the demeanor of someone who crushes those that refuse them and conquers dissent with manipulation when possible and force when necessary.

This does not however equate to innate cruelty, those who can weather her intensity and stand tall by her side are met with not just respect but generosity. Even an enemy that cannot be vanquished is held in high esteem if they do not wither under her gaze.

...Of course such a headstrong and domineering disposition is troublesome when you’re not the head of house, and no sane husband would have such a dreadful woman.

Name: Ushiwakamaru

Title(s):

Class: Rider

Gender: Female

Attribute: Human

Era: 1159 - June 1189

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Personality: Ushiwakamaru is a genius swordsman that wholeheartedly adores her older brother, Minamoto no Yoritomo. She respected him as a samurai and loved him for being her brother. Although she tries not to be boastful, she says that he was the most exemplary older brother in the world.

Ushiwakamaru likes to have fun. When she was a child, she was rather mischievous since she spent her days playing pranks on adults as a hobby and causing trouble for the monks, all while laughing out loud. Though she is not like that any more as she conducts herself properly to the best of her ability.

For some reason, Ushiwakamaru has some level of acrophobia as she hates high places and never wants to be anywhere high.

She was constantly persecuted by those around her in life due to her exceedingly great talent. While there is no doubt that she was an excellent tactician, Yoshitsune lacked something vital. That is fear towards the battlefield; she never thought battles were frightening. All throughout life, she was incompatible with the other military commanders. That Yorimoto even held killing intent towards Yoshitsune was probably something that she never came to understand in her entire life. For, since she was a genius, having concern towards abilities was something that did not exist in her. But no matter how many times she is betrayed, she still wants to fight for someone's sake.

A beautiful swordsman who is disciplined, scolding even her Master for any sloppy habits.[1][4] Despite her beautiful figure, showing an appearance like a flower blooming in the midnight, Ushiwakamaru is without self-assertion. She sometimes speaks as necessary, but she does not have a talkative disposition that can express a beautiful voice that would draw 10,000 people in to listen to it in ecstasy. Also, she does not boast her outstanding arts of war, instead proving it with nothing but results and at the scene of battle. It is possible to say that this person is a paragon of knighthood that discerns propriety and speaks with actions before words... and, someone simply seen as a genuine fighting machine.

Because her character is straightforward and not a falsehood, all the established things Ushiwakamaru undertakes completely becomes the "shortest, fastest straight line" towards the goal. When ordinary people do this, they usually fail and reflect on their failure, and subsequently from that, they consider... and polish a variety of plans... The problem is, Ushiwakamaru is a super genius. Because she does not fail at these things, she has grown to as she is now with this unmanageable nature.

In battle, Ushiwakamaru is cold-hearted, cool-headed and the personification of the most suitable hand, but ordinarily, she is a young girl who earnestly wishes "to become her older brother's power, to become the head's strength, and to want to help this splendid figure." To address this in a few words, "a faithful dog with a broken brake." She is faithful, bright and friendly, but somewhere, she is missing a screw... no, it becomes unclear of its whereabouts.

Her talents sublimated up to its utmost limits and her extraordinary loyalty becomes intertwined, and a person (Master) that notices "this unthinkable genius who, without thinking, is just unreasonably becoming emotionally attached to me for no real reason" won't understand why and might harbor fear at that characteristic. On the other hand, how Ushiwakamaru treats her subordinates is surely demonic. "Die so you can make an easy place for me to fight. That is your role."

Ushiwakamaru is a girl who really loves her brother and is making great efforts as a girl who really loves her Master. That cool behavior that does not get agitated by anything... from there is a ferocity one step short of an unleashed Berserker's, and anyone would be bewildered at that.

If the Master is vexed about "If that enemy's ship is usable...", Ushiwakamaru will head towards the ship visibly like a gale while saying "Master, please leave the decisions to me!" A few minutes later, she would inform the Master about the ship and say "Master, this way to the ship!" However, except for the sailors operating the ship, everybody will be completely dealing with the scene of carnage called "being bound for the netherworld."

Ushiwakamaru is a cool-headed subordinate, but she too is a person that draws from the blood of the Minamoto clan, a clan of which has the origin of the word "ruler" in the past. She is only a faithful dog towards the Master, and will display a sadistic and cold-hearted side to anyone except the Master.

Naturally, much like with her brother, Ushiwakamaru will serve her Master with all her heart, fighting until her's or her Master's final moments.

Ushiwakamaru's wish for the Holy Grail is to be with her older brother. It would truly make her happy.

Bio: Perhaps this ill-fated commander is probably a being so famous, there is no one in Japan who does not know her name. That recognition is also frequently apparent in the proverb called the "Sympathy for a Tragic Hero." Namely, a tragic military commander who, while was overflowing with charisma and holds an innate disposition of a genius, was driven off in defeat at the end of a confrontation with Yoritomo, her older brother who was jealous of this prominent figure's nature————apart from that matter of whether it was distinctly right or wrong... This Ushiwakamaru is unmistakably a monster.

In any case, Ushiwakamaru cannot read the hearts of men. She cannot understand this matter, perplexed at her own human being.

"Love, what is it?" Ushiwakamaru inquires. She was left under the care of a temple when she was very young, and she was raised up while as someone unaware of a father's love, a mother's love, a proper parents' love, as well as a love spun from a significant other. If there is only one fact, Ushiwakamaru was a samurai. A samurai serves the lord and swears allegiance to the lord. Concerning her, that was the only truth, and with the exception of that, everything else didn't matter. Separated from her parents when she was very young, she was disciplined by a Tengu deep in the mountains; subsequently, she was not able to nurture her "humanity". That is the way of a faithful dog... Close to a pure beast, she fights for the sake of her master instead of herself. For the cause of being praised, Ushiwakamaru triumphed. She won thoroughly. That is, she removed all ostentation from herself because that is none other than a choice for a way to slaughter her enemies quite efficiently. Yoritomo was afraid of that, and Ushiwakamaru's circumstances did not make her popularity rise. It may not be discovered that her fangs could turn towards her allies to tear off their attractive yet deceptive outward appearances... They were afraid of her inhuman nature that did not truly fit in with the relationship of gaining profit by having power.

After he destroyed the Taira clan, Yoritomo immediately began to obliterate Ushiwakamaru. Her social position has not yet settled within their clan, and if he does not destroy her, he will always become anxious about the future. At any rate, Yoshitsune doesn't understand politics. She doesn't understand the hearts of men. If that kin, similar to an antiquated beast, exists, then Yoritomo cannot make the era he is aiming for. It was rumored in the public streets that Yoritomo killed his younger brother at the end of a power struggle. Ushiwakamaru consented. That synposis is correct. Regardless of what intentions Yoritomo had, and regardless of what Ushiwakamaru was feeling, with this state of affairs around her, it was reasonable for Ushiwakamaru to dispose herself, and...

Since the Taira no longer existed, Ushiwakamaru was Yoritomo's next political opponent. Also, as far as Hojo Masako, her older brother's wife, is concerned, the likes of Minamoto no Yoshitsune is probably unneeded. Thus, she will behave as if she was her older brother's enemy, doing nothing but fight and die in battle, all in accordance with what her older brother desires. Although Ushiwakamaru thought as such, her subordinates persuaded her, and she decided to escape to Oshu. And yet, Yoritomo persistently chased her. He saw her not as family, but as an inhuman monster, and chased after her.

————"That's strange. This is somewhat unreasonable."

————"Though, it was human beings that preferred emotions rather than gains and losses."

————"I only wanted my older brother to praise me, but I was lacking something."

————"I am sorry, I could not change up to my last moments————"

Although Ushiwakamaru was defeated at Oshu, her name was carved into the history of Japan. Without understanding the essence of anyone.

Name: Jangar

Title(s): Khan of Bomba

Class: Lancer

Gender: Male

Attribute: Earth

Era: Age of Man

Alignment: True Neutral

Personality: Jangar’s wish for the Grail is to recreate the kingdom of Bomba and once again become it’s Khan and protector.

Appearance: Spear not to scale


Bio: The circumstances on Jangar’s birth are somewhat unusual. His father was Ujung Aldar Khan of Bomba, his mother was a woman from another tribe; the two had tried for a child for two years unsuccessfully, they tried various medicines and cures but nothing worked and eventually sought the advice of a herdsman who had 19 children. They called the herdsman in and he explained his secret: when the horses began to rut, he and his wife would watch them mate, then go mate themselves. Promising to reward the herder if the trick worked, Ujung Aldar Khan agreed to try it.

The couple secretly stole out to the steppe and hid behind a large rock so that they could watch a stallion and mare mate. Afterwards, they returned to their palace and tried for a child. The trick worked, and several months later it became apparent that Urmaa was pregnant. Ujung Aldar Khan sent the herdsman 100 cows as a reward. Urmaa was pregnant for 10 months, but could not give birth. When she finally did give birth, it was to a strange red mass. Ujung Aldar ordered a servant to throw it out, but then a voice cried from within, "I'm suffocating! Let me out of here!" They tried to cut the red mass open with a sword, but the sword merely chipped. Master Choirom came and recommended that they use Sword given by the Jade Emperor, and with this sword they were able to cut the red mass and free the large baby boy within. The baby's skin had auspicious markings: a red mole and a birthmark on his butt. The child was strong and kicked his leather swaddling cloths to pieces, making Urmaa afraid that her son was ill-fated to cause destruction. She begged Ujung Aldar to let the child die, but he appreciated his son's strength and refused. The tribe celebrated the baby's birth together.

Ujung Aldar became so preoccupied with his new son that he began to neglect the affairs of the tribe, particularly the defenses. A Manggus, or devil, called Goljing had long been an enemy of Bomba. Seeing Ujung Aldar's weakness, he attacked with 10,000 warriors on black horses and easily captured Bomba. Ujung Aldar Khan and his wife and son were besieged in their palace. Seeking to save his son's life, Ujung Aldar put a piece of white jade in his son's mouth, placed him on the horse Aranjagaan, and sent his servant Menhbayar to take the child to safety. He also gave the servant the Aram spear, a weapon that had been passed down for generations. Then Ujang Aldar fought the invaders until he and his wife were cut down.

The servant took the child to Big Black Mountain and hid him in a cave, then walked back to the palace to see what had happened. Discovering everything destroyed and the Khan dead, he decided to take his revenge by attacking some of the invaders as they sat around a fire. He killed one of them, but was soon killed himself. In the mountain cave, the boy sucked the white jade to keep himself from growing hungry or thirsty for a few days. But eventually he began to cry. A man named Mengen Xigxirge was hunting nearby, and he noticed the horse Aranjagaan grazing. Wanting to see what the horse was doing there, he went closer, and heard the baby crying. He followed the noise and discovered the cave. At first Mengen Xigxirge wanted to adopt the boy, so he decided to give him the name "Jangar." The boy immediately agreed that this should be his name and declared that he would become master of the world. This frightened Mengen Xigxirge, who was worried that Jangar might dispossess his own son, Hongor. So he decided to leave Jangar there with some food and water and left.

Jangar went outside and roared, and all the animals living nearby came to see what the noise was. He befriended them and they fed him and taught him their skills. She-wolves suckled him, and deer brought him fruit. He learned to roar from a tiger, to hunt from an eagle, and to run from an antelope. Jangar lived in the wild for two years, soon attaining the age of three.

One day an old man appeared while Jangar was sitting under a tree. The man told him about what had happened to his parents and trained him in martial arts and magic. But no sooner had Jangar learned these things than he woke up—it was morning, and it had all been a dream. Nonetheless, he felt strong, and discovered that he could uproot a tree and smash a camel-sized rock with it. He mounted Aranjagaan and went home to kill Goljing.

Three-year-old Jangar fought his way to Goljing's palace, destroying three strongholds on the way, and thrust his spear into the Manggus' chest, killing him. Then Jangar climbed up on the roof of the palace and called back all the people who had fled after the invasion. He became Khan and Bomba flourished again.

Meanwhile, another ruler named Shar Durdeng began raiding the outskirts of Bomba for livestock, women and children. Jangar was upset, and the three-year-old Khan took up his spear and rode alone to face his new enemy. To reach Shar Durdeng's palace, Jangar had to fight for seven months and 19 days. He overthrew four strongholds, and finally reached the crystal palace by the sea where his enemy dwelt. He snuck inside and found everyone drunk. Taking hold of the intoxicated Shar Durdeng, Jangar threw him off his throne, and proceeded to break ribs and spinal bones until Shar Durdeng agreed to leave Bomba in peace and pay taxes and tribute. By the age of five, Jangar had defeated five Mangguses and quintupled the size of the Bomba's territory.

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. Despite being versed in shamanism, Jangar does not have much experience fighting against magically inclined opponents and as such has negligible resistance against such attacks.

Personal Skills:
Animal Dialogue – C
While in hiding on Big Black Mountain after the destruction of Bomba at the hands of the Manggus Goljing, Jangar befriended many of the animals living nearby and was taught their skills; She-wolves suckled him, and deer brought him fruit. He learned to roar from a tiger, to hunt from an eagle, and to run from an antelope. Jangar lived in the wild for two years and during this time learned to communicate with animals of all kinds.

Shamanism – D
One day an old man appeared while the young Jangar was sitting under a tree. The man told him about what had happened to his parents and trained him in martial arts and the shamanistic magic of his homeland. Jangar is proficient with common shamanistic skills just as communication with spirits, healing sickness caused by malevolent spirits and the usage of spirits as guides or messengers. He can also perform simple divination rites such as dream interpretation.

Natural Body – A
As a baby Jangar was able to kick apart his leather swaddling clothes and possessed the ability to speak from the moment he was born. By the age of three he had defeated the monster who had killed his father and reclaimed his kingdom. By five he had killed four more similar monsters and quadrupled the size of the Bomba’s territory.

Grants a plus modifier to his STR. Furthermore, even without training, he's still beyond brawny. No matter how many calories he ingests, his body shape will not change.

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Aram Spear

Title: The Spear that protects Bomba

Rank: B

NP Type: Anti-Unit (Self)

Range: 1-20

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: A weapon passed down the line of Khan’s for generations; carried by Jangar’s father, his grandfather and those before them, the spear carries the aspirations and desires of Jangar’s ancestors to found and create a place where no suffering or pain exists. The nation of Bomba was that place, founded by Jangar’s grandfather, destroyed by his father’s negligence and resurrected and protected by Jangar throughout his life; it is a place where there are no orphans or widows, where no one grows old and is remembered today both as a golden age and as a land of the future the people of Mongolia continue to aspire towards.

As the Khan and protector of Bomba, Jangar wielded the Aram Spear in its defence many times and against many foes, as did his ancestors before him and his descendants after him. The Aram Spear has been a constant throughout the entirety of the kingdom’s history, no matter who the current Khan is or what befalls them; it is the symbol of the Khan and the defender of Bomba. Bomba will continue to exist as long as this spear and its defender exist to protect it. This long history has given rise to the Aram Spear as a conceptual weapon which sublimates its myth into an ability that protects the wielder from death; Bomba will exist as long as the wielder of this spear lives, and the wielder of this spear will live as long as he holds this spear. This effect fortifies the user against death itself making even great wounds a negligible factor. Healing abilities will also have their efficiency drastically raised. It is particularly useful against status effects, and grants resistance alongside advantageous checks to resist or clear them each turn.

By activating the true name of this spear Jangar is able to establish a territory that will be designated as the new Bomba wherever he is standing in a radius around him. This removes the Aram Spears protections as a conceptual weapon and instead brings that protection across a wider area; any citizen of Bomba, which in this case includes the Khan and anyone the Khan considers a citizen, will be protected while standing within the borders of Bomba established by this effect. This protection acts as the passive ability of the Noble Phantasm albeit at reduced power.

Even without taking its powers into account it is a monstrous weapon; twelve feet in length, as wide around the haft as a small tree and with a weight to match, the Aram Spear requires superhuman strength to even lift, let alone wield effectively, and crushes those it is used against as much as it pierces them.

Name: White Jade

Title: Stone of Purification and Healing

Rank: C

NP Type: Anti-Unit (Self)

Range: N/A

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: When the Manggus Goljing attacked Bomba, Jangar’s father Ujung Aldar Khan sought to save his son’s life by sending him away. He placed a piece of white jade in his son’s mouth, placed him on the red steed Aranjagaan and sent him away with his servant Menhbayar to take the child to safety. He also gave the servant the Aram spear, a weapon that had been passed down for generations. Then Ujang Aldar fought the invaders until he and his wife were cut down.

The servant took Jangar to Big Black Mountain and hid him in a cave before returning to Bomba to find out what had happened. The jade sustained Jangar for several days, keeping him from feeling hunger or thirst. Years later, when Jangar was fighting the archer Altan Gheej and was struck by his arrow, Jangar placed the same piece of white jade in his mouth to stave off the poison it carried.

The White Jade is an item given to Jangar by his father as a child to keep him safe. It is abundant in healing and purifying energy and was used by Jangar several times during his life to keep himself alive or to fight off harmful effects, whether that is poison or even starvation. When this Noble Phantasm in placed in the owners mouth it boosts their natural healing abilities, allowing them to recover from wounds faster than they would otherwise, and grants extra resistance against the effects of poison or other harmful substances.

Name: Charlotte Marie Louisa de Normandie

Title(s): “Ojou-sama of the West”, “Lightning Princess”, “Thundertits”

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Rank: (Your capability as a Magus in the eyes of the Mages Association. This will be given to you on approval.)

Objective for the Grail: Her participation alone is assumed by some others to be to gain praise and strike down lesser magi, and her family sent her to secure the land for them to move on and become proper Second Owners. Her family expects she will use the Holy Grail for their benefits if she gets it somehow as well, in particular to help heal her elder brother and the family’s heir...who is currently undergoing treatment to try to regain his health.

Truthfully, no one knows if she even has personal motivations or desires for this Holy Grail War.

Command Seal:



Personality:

A proud and bold individual, a true “princess” who holds her head high no matter the situation. She possesses a high level of pride in herself and her heritage, and loathes insults or perceived insults to it with a passion. At times can potentially be a hothead, and with her occasionally ‘stubborn’ and determined will she can usually push herself to do quite well in a lot of things unless it gets in the way. Due to all of this, it is easy to see why she is easily assumed to be a “hotheaded, cocky rich girl who is a total idiot”. Not that she is bad with magecraft, one of her skills she takes some pride in.

Bio:

A long-lived French family currently on its 12th generation, who began from humble origins and rose to be among the levels of French nobility through plot and cunning and marriage. They are a strong-blooded and wealthy lot, surviving the centuries and decades to form enough business connections to keep them and their research afloat for generations to come. They specialize in Wind (Lightning) magecraft, with a lot of variety having been developed for its use over centuries of work. They are known to be a haughty bunch, with many ties back at the Clock Tower and “investments” towards that area that continue to “pay handsomely” at times for them on the regular. They have for a long time been aligned towards the Barthomeloi faction as well, in regards to their allegiances at the Clock Tower.

However, their latest heir, who possesses the crest, fell into a coma after a particularly nasty fall from a balcony when he was arguing with his siblings. To this end, the family has been pulling on strings and has sent one of the heir’s siblings (aka “backup heirs to them”) to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Charlotte herself grew up a wealthy heiress and well-trained and drilled magus of her family’s bloodline. She has lived like a princess, albeit one with the training and responsibilities of a magus. She was sent to the Clock Tower for a time to learn as a student, in part as a gesture of respect to the organization to keep in good standing, and then was drilled in other training at home otherwise to master her family’s magecraft. While at the Clock Tower, she gained the nickname of “Thundertits” from fellow female students for...somewhat obvious reasons when looking at her. This being said, she has been close to her younger sister, a highly-trained magus, and a seeming pawn of her family’s will her status being used as a “valuable investment” to try to to ensure their future prosperity (and heir’s recovery on the side if she somehow gets the grail) without a doubt.

Elemental Affinity: Wind

Magecraft:

General Magecraft – A very solid and somewhat advanced grasp of all of the basics for a Magus, especially a student of the Clock Tower.

Normandie Lightning Magecraft – Her family’s specialty stemming from their wind element, worked and honed over many generations of development and hard work. The foundation for this magecraft lies in a large blending of cultures and beliefs as time went on since the time of their ancestor, starting with Greco-Nordic-Celtic beliefs on lightning, and combination of three prominent lightning gods in each of those cultures into a sacred triad/triple deity to far better solidify the foundation using old tricks. With this syncretism built into the foundation and used to build it, some minor other influences from local culture as it developed.

It is very well-developed and practiced, a foundation that has built on its roots but stays true to them as well in order to maximize versatility and power.

The foundation conceptualizes the user into the “hammer” which “forges” lightning, their status as an instrument of power and punishment, and a “living storm” and “lightning forge” which is united with the element itself at their core. This foundation developed from the three main groups that had influence in what is now France, the family's ancestors starting as Celts who fought the Romans, being incorporated into Roman lands eventually, and then blending with the Nordic men who settled in Normandy under the leadership of Rollo.

From simple zapping bolts of myriad forms and kinds for attacking, to producing electrical fields to various effects such as alerting her to intruders, to transforming objects into “batteries” for electricity (metal or not, but metal is best for this), to even detection (passive or active) of living things based on the faint electrical impulses going off in the bodies of other living things.

Her attacks are imbued with the concept of lightning as something which punishes and smites. She can also utilize this magecraft with the material of lightning ashes, casting spells to heal.

Similarly, the concept of the word for “arrow” being tied to thunderbolts in the Torah, and also grounded in the concept of Zeus, has been incorporated into some spells to help shape them, one being a simpler one-line (one word) spell that cast a cluster of three “arrows” of lightning at targets for a simple but destructive spell in application. Rituals tied to affecting the weather or changing it can also be used, rooted in the concept of lightning as the tool of sky deities and weather events caused by gods of lightning. There are also spells tied to cycles, rooted in the symbolism of the six-or-eight-spoked wheel in Celtic culture being tied with their thunder god Taranis.

A high tier of versatility and power are possessed by this magecraft, which has been developed over 12 generations of research and hard work.

Western Curses – Enough skills and experience here to effectively create and apply/use countercurses, if she so needs them. In terms of offense, she is highly adept at the one thing she can use best: the “Evil Eye”, a simple but anciently-rooted means of cursing requiring only bad intentions/feelings aimed towards the targets and a nasty glare to cast it (causing misfortune and injury to targets as a result). Essentially a side magecraft to “round herself out” somewhat when learning back at the Clock Tower and dealing with her peers. She has some solid skills in verbal curses as well.

Crest: (she does not have it, though she and her younger sister were trained well as magi regardless due to her parents' desire to have spare "backups" for the family's heir; likewise, her family prides itself on skill and trained her and her younger sister to showcase their might as well for publicity's sake)

Weapon:

Zeus’ Shockstick – A mystic code made to protect the user, it takes the form of a small but ornate metal rod she keeps on her person. Lightweight enough to carry around, it does have a well-insulated and protected iron core at its center. When used, it pulls in surrounding mana into it and channels it into a torrent of lightning in return. This is useful for the wielder on a personal level, being good for close-medium range battle from a single person’s perspective (aka this isn’t a range on the servant scale of things). Can be considered a magus equivalent of “a concealable lethal super taser” and seemingly most good for just combat, but is very simple in design and use. It can also be used as a focus for her lightning magecraft.

Thunderstone – A mystic code crafted using her family’s magecraft, it is kept within a very small pendant she wears around her neck at all times. It wards her against spells (magecraft) and witchcraft up to D rank spells. It does this by merely rejecting magical energy, not being on the level of a servant's Magic Resistance.

Exceptional Benefit: Contacts- You have friends within local organizations. You may make reasonable requests to any mundane organization within Paris and have it fulfilled(discretely). Examples include having a hospital send fresh cadavers to your location, or gaining access to the Mayors office with ease. Requests above and beyond the normal have a chance for failure.

Name:
Lucienne Marguerite Arouet-Rousseau
Title(s):
Young Master of Bordeaux
Gender:
Female
Age:
20
Alignment:
Lawful Good

Rank: (Your capability as a Magus in the eyes of the Mages Association. This will be given to you on approval.)
Objective for the Grail:
Lucienne’s role in the grail war is a pretty simple one. To secure it for the purpose of propelling her family into a greater social and political standing… Although perhaps it would also be nice to use its power for herself… That kind of strength could mean much more freedom... Even a chance to get away from everything.



Personality:
A young woman with a rather conflicted personality. Grown into a balance of the roles of a young lady of a noble magus family and her more tomboyish and unrestrained nature. The duties that have been placed upon her has caused her to lose some of her childish innocence and experience just a little of the world of magi proper so far. But she is still the same spirited individual when it comes down to it. A person who wishes to be more true to herself but also must resolve to act as she is expected to.

Lucienne is a person who is no stranger to compassion and kindness, her empathy made her quite a popular and trustworthy person among social circles, but as a lot of family heads she has learned to mask her personality with a sort of cold-blooded apathy when carrying out important decisions, or decisions that simply need to be made despite her own personal beliefs. That doesn’t make them any easier of course, being a harsh, almost sadistic person would definitely cause trauma towards her own self.

Bio:
Lucienne was raised in her family manor residing in the city of Bordeaux. Her paternal line, the Arouets are a line of magis that specialise in astrology, dating back to the early 16th century they had managed to establish themselves as one of the top magus families of the Aquitaine region. Her maternal line, the Rousseau's are an older, wealthier line that specialises in Jewel Magic and are residents of the city of Paris. Lucienne was tutored with rather harsh oversight from both of her parents, she was already a pretty dedicated person but perhaps they thought that if she was left alone then she would eventually slack off. To be fair she did like to nap quite a bit… But by the time she had reached the Clocktower she was quite glad for the hard working attitude that her parents drilled into her which allowed her to excel in her studies.

As the heir of her mother and father she is expected to elevate their family to new heights that they have not yet seen. And it just so happens that the Holy Grail has the potential to do exactly that...

Magecraft:
General Magecraft:
The basics of magecraft, Lucienne was an exceptional student of these while she was at the clock tower and was held in high regard by her professors and peers.

Astrology:
The specialisation of the Arouet’s, it is specifically the Western System of Astrology that was first based on the research and craft of Ptolemy, which itself was a continuation of earlier hellenistic and even babylonian traditions of magecraft.

One of the core principles of this school of magecraft is the integration of the cosmos. Magi, the Earth and the environment are viewed as a singular organism which all have parts that correlate with one another. A common saying among magi who study this craft is “as above, so below; as below, so above.” Which is suggestive of the symmetry between the magi themselves and the celestial environment.

A main aspect of this craft that Lucienne makes great use of is through the jewels that her family has gathered. Specific types of crystals allow her to form a strong connection with the Heavenly Body that it corresponds with (Jasper - Mars, Aventurine and Emerald - Venus, Tiger Eye - Mercury. Moonstone - The Moon, Rock Crystal - The Sun, Citrine - Also Mercury ,Sapphire - Also Venus , Garnet and Ruby - Pluto, Topaz - Jupiter, Lapis Lazuli - Saturn, Turquoise - Uranus, Aquamarine - Neptune) With varying effects based on which one is used, and are more effective and efficient when using gems that correspond with her own elemental affinity.

Furthermore, divination can be achieved through the use of a horoscope. Now as a craft this does not necessarily have to be from the birth of a human but rather the beginning of something. Even something like the launch of a business or from the founding of a nation state. Either way if information is gathered about these things then through contacting the Heavenly Bodies the magi can get information on the actions of its subject, the patterns that they have and what kind of future is in store for them.

Jewel Magecraft:
The specialisation of the Rousseau’s
Jewels easily accumulate the thoughts of their owners, and make excellent vessels for magical energy.
Crystals that have slumbered beneath the earth for eons, in particular, are prone to having nature spirits form within them, and jewels with that property can be used as simple magic crests. For example, a jewel with a nature spirit of fire dwelling within it would become highly flammable just by passing magical energy through it.

Lucienne gets much of her jewels through her contacts from the Rousseau’s as well as those that have been gifted to her by her mother.



Crest:
12 Generations

Weapon:
- Twin Jewel Bracelets: A set of well crafted bracelets, one for each wrist, that holds several gemstones around their band. The bracelet not only acts as an amplifier to the magical energy stored within them but also as a means to combat the deterioration of the gems themselves. Due to the convenient nature of them they could be used for both offensive and defensive purposes.
- Crystal Ball: A crystal ball that is used to aide with Clairvoyance and Divination.
- Gemstone Necklace: A gift from her mother and holding some of her more powerful gems. Also has the effect of Magic Resistance of E-rank (master not servants.)
