True Name: Ernest Harris
Title: Skin Stealer
Age: 23
Magic Circuit Quality: B+
Magic Circuit Quantity: A

Personality:
A quiet and cool-headed young man, a little lacking in humanity. Atem can be called a perfectly model magus that while capable of love and cares for his friends and others. He bases everything on his life as a magus, foregoing happiness as a regular person and only thinking of his future as a magus. He has a "perfect and coldhearted" aspect to him that can be called a negative trait to his otherwise seemingly outstanding self-image.

This causes a dissonance when interacting with him, as his personality is genuinely nothing but a confident, respectful, and even kind person to people no matter their status as long as they are part of the Magical Side. But has a complete lack of care about those who aren't and thinks of the normal people of the world as nothing more than backdrops that will only have worth should they become a heroics spirit or a dead apostle. This distinction between Humanity and Magi is what drove him to cause the downfall of his family viewing them as having run away from their origin in pursuit of 'worthless desires'.

But one can say this is the mentality needed to be able to use his brand of magecraft effectively.

Abilities:


Aztec Shamanism: A form of Shamanism that is one of the few forms of Magecraft not brought over to the New World but is instead holy native to the Americas. It was incorporated into the Crest during the rapid expansion into the West. Its main tenant is focused on Ritual Sacrifices and the use of body parts in exchange for producing Mysteries. This often requires live sacrifices although his family has developed some alchemy techniques that allow him to keep a heart 'beating and considered fresh' by implanting them in the bodies of animals.

Although its usage is primarily used for healing ailments and injury and the removal/redirection of curses it also allows for the temporary strengthening of one's body to allow supernatural feats by taking from the sacrifice. Which grants him multiple superhuman abilities such as moving at high speeds, lifting heavy objects, surviving a direct hit from cars, or stealing their appearance.

Elemental Magecraft (Fire, Earth): Magecraft used to perform feats of controlling, attacking, and defending using an element type of one's affinity. Atem is proficient in the use of both fire and earth, either for their esoteric properties or their general combat applications.

Healing Magecraft: A type of thaumaturgy involving recovering the flesh of injured people and of detoxification. Usually, for alchemist's, this is used not for the sake of helping people, but rather to lessen the great burden felt by a subject who received an organ that was tempered with magical power and help his body get used to the newly transplanted organ. As someone who uses it for both purposes, Atem is incredibly skilled in healing flesh just as he is skilled in rending it. Typically used for covering his tracks when flaying skin.

Mystic Codes:

Obsidian Sacrificial Knife: A knife made of obsidian that has been used in ritualistic sacrifices since the age of gods, it is sturdy enough for the use of combat although what truly makes it a mystic code is its efficiency in rending human flesh. Even a simple touch of its blade is capable of flaying a person's skin, and even simple stab wounds bleed more furiously due to how it makes cuts inside of the wound.

Appearance Borrowing Charm: A charm made out of 10-20cm of human skin, it is created through a magic ritual using the flayed skin of a person, he makes it into a Charm which allows him to mimic the appearance of the skin's owner (except for clothes). Once a charm is made he no longer needs to collect samples from his target and he can freely change between different appearances by creating several charms and alternate their usage as needed. Atem is quite "professional" when it comes to disguising and would normally study the behavior and characteristics of a person for at least a week before impersonating them.

History:
The Harris family an American Bloodline that hadn’t really been around for a long time compared to most families, boasting only a rather insignificant two hundred years. Although some Elders claim that the family had been around for at least four hundred years although no factual evidence was provided, and with the deterioration in their magical circuits and the more prolific members turning to use magecraft as an advantage in the criminal underworld for monetary value. The Harris family is reaching their embers as magi with little to show for but a shamanistic magecraft derived from the Mesoamerican culture that allows them to take on the appearance of a person by using their flayed skin as charms allowing them to impersonate a number of people by switching charms.

Ernest now Atem, was born with a large number of high-quality magic circuits amongst the family, having been born from a union between his mother and a particularly powerful spare to a 10th generation magus family arranged with their riches after his father's family accrued debt during a hefty purchase from the mystic eyes auction. Atem showed great promise in the use of his family's magecraft at a young age which grew more prominent as he possessed a dual affinity of Fire and Earth, and was taught elemental magecraft for battle by a tutor.

But Atem grew disillusioned with his family after he began studying at the clocktower at the age of fifteen, finding that though far richer than some of the other magus families the lack of concern with pursuing their craft had made them stagnant and nothing more than spellcasters, something he detested after growing to love and become passionate in his studies about magecraft. This disillusionment and distaste would fester so until one year after receiving the family's Magic Crest, Atem gave an anonymous tip to the authorities in the states giving them illicit information needed to arrest most of them all the while he was currently studying in London. In the end, Atem's family was arrested then killed by the Department of Policies under the guise of being silenced by a Syndicate. Although most of the finances were taken by the authorities Atem was able to keep all of the little mysteries and artifacts his family acquired over the years. During that time he changed his name and moved to California to rebuild his magus family the 'correct' way.

Currently, Atem's participation in the grail war is not to pursue the omnipotent wishing power of the grail but to learn about the function of the ritual to summon servants believing that he can acquire much more from servants rather than a wish.


Other: Wanted to summon an Aztec servant, and even procured a Catalyst, will be very disappointed in Japanese only rules.

Name: Haru Imamura

Age: 22

Personality: Haru is a soft-spoken and introverted individual. She dares not to step out what is expected out of her, even when she is given freedom to choose what she would like to do. This persists into her beginning years into adulthood, even as she began living on her own. With very little knowledge to work off of, she constantly berates herself from making the littlest of mistakes and/or not doing enough work. These features make her a completely incompetent mage in practice, and this only makes her work towards the impossible when she herself does not have the proper fundamentals to even pursue this goal. Thus, she has a terrible bad habit of setting herself up for failure, simply by aiming for these goals under others' unrealistic conditions.

Abilities: Despite her background and overall nature, Haru possesses the Sekiguchi family's Magic Crest on her back as well as mediocre Magic Circuits. Going from her aunt's guidance on a "good luck charm," Haru knows a basic healing spell under the guise of a good luck mantra, which she secretly uses when working as a nurse. Regardless if she does so or not, Haru is periodically plagued by migraines. Everything else that's considered the bare basics of performing magecraft, Haru does not know at all. Her elemental affinity happens to be water.

History: Born as Haruka Sekiguchi, she experienced an extremely short childhood that was neither mundane nor Magus-related. As the only child of the wilting mage family, Haruka was forced to have the family's Magic Crest transplanted into her fully in one sitting due to her father's declining health with no improvement in sight. While there could be time to transplant the Magic Crest in increments, Haruka's mother feared that their bloodline would die out otherwise. This decision resulted with Haruka falling ill almost immediately upon receiving the Magic Crest. A successful inheritance with a dire cost, and only at the age of 5. Even with stricken by severe migraines which weakened her to the point of almost being bedridden, her mother would constantly hammer in magecraft teachings with no consideration to the child heir who couldn't keep up and remember it all. These events continued up until her father's natural death.

Months after her father's death, 9-year-old Haruka found herself under a new household's roof which belonged to her aunt. Fearing that she was missing her mother's lectures, Haruka asks about why she was here. Her aunt only answers that it is only better that she lived with her. From there, her aunt would treat her just like any other normal child, trying to uplift the child's spirits after magecraft took away what was Haruka's early childhood innocence. Despite Haruka's improved quality of life, she continues to ask when she can go back home, yet her aunt couldn't bring herself to tell the truth until she was older.

Six years later, her aunt would find Haruka nursing a stray cat in their neighborhood back to health. The young teen stroking the feline animal's back in a soothing manner while humming a basic tune appeared to actually remedy the evident bruises on said animal. Her aunt would quickly usher them both inside. First she praises Haruka for taking care of a hurt cat, but then scolds her for being careless with her own abilities. Met with Haruka's confusion, her aunt would finally tell the truth about why she started living with her. Her aunt would recount on how magecraft caused her to be estranged from her family, yet her brother, Haruka's father, kept in touch with her in secret despite the heavy responsibilities put onto him. When it came to him being on his death bed, he told her aunt to take Haruka away to relieve her of the same fate. Recounting this story to the 15-year-old Haruka, her aunt further explains that it's for the best that she stays with her instead of her mother. While reluctant, she figured that it would be fine, considering her below average to no experience with magecraft. Going as far as saying that she didn't even know what magecraft was, those teachings long forgotten after being in her aunt's care.

So by her aunt's suggestion, she took on the name of Haru Imamura, and only used her only spell, the basic healing spell, when she was sure that no one would catch wind of it. There, she took up the life of a social loner, leading up to present day to which she moves out of her aunt's house to live on her own in a rural village. With her studies in the medical field and with that "healing charm," she was able to become a nurse at a neighboring town's hospital. Even on her own, Haru finds herself still feeling unfulfilled and not achieving enough. She thought to herself, if she had access to this healing charm, how come she can't just wish to be a more useful person?

Little did she know that her silent and uncertain prayers were indirectly answered, and that she happened to move into a specific place during a specific time...

Other: Literally has no idea what she's getting dragged into.

Name:
Aliceviel von Einzbern
Class:
Caster
Appearance:

Personality:
Alice was the sole victor of an ultimately pointless battle. Seven magi, one wishing to take a secret to his grave, the others, seeking out a wish granting device that never truly existed. In the end, despite her best efforts to save them, Alice ultimately was unable to, and having expended all the strength in her body, she too ultimately perished.

The pain, the grief, the betrayal she had felt would all manifest into a will, a desire to end future conflicts in any way she could, preferably with minimal sacrifices. Though in an ironic twist of fate, this selfless ideal would soon result in her being summoned by the counterforce many times to stabilize conflicts. However, there are cases where she may be summoned for other reasons.

Regardless of how or why she is summoned though, Alice has always believed there to be other ways to resolve conflicts other than fighting. Though she cannot always disobey a master (should she have one) as a servant, she often hopes there is a way to end whatever conflict she is fighting in with minimal casualties.

For all the power she may hold, and the purpose she was raised for, in life, and now in death, Alice keeps fighting on for an ideal she couldn't uphold. Was it the gift she unknowingly inherited from her father she never knew influencing her mind? Or maybe, it was an innate aspect of herself that refused to die, no matter how much conditioning and modifications her body had gone through in life?

Whatever the case, this ideal was strong enough to continue on as a core part of her personality as a servant, no matter the situation.

Stats:
Strength: E
Endurance: C
Agility: B
Mana: A
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills:
Independent Action A+: Though she had been modified and mentally conditioned from an early age, Alice had always stuck to what she felt was 'right' in the heat of the moment. And thus, she would remain capable of independent action/thought even as a servant. Perhaps this in of itself is a reflection of just how convinced she is of her own feelings.

Personal Skills:

- Wire Constructs B: A result of the crest implanted on her. Though not officially condoned by the Einzbern family, those who have modified her had intricate knowledge on the workings of their magic, and even access to their crests, and homonculi.
Effects: Manifests 'raw' wires in order to ensnare her foes and even drain their mana. Alice can also use this skill to create constructs of varying complexity, which scales with the amount of strain on both her mind and spiritual body it would take. By expending all of her mana she pours into her constructs/wires at once, she can also detonate said wires or constructs. In a large enough scale, it is possible to cause a large scale explosion at the cost of a large supply of mana.

- Selflessness C: When faced with a situation that she feels compelled to help in, especially when she feels like she is doing the 'right' thing, Alice ends up disregarding her own safety and seeks to act out on her feelings above all else.
Effects: Alice becomes temporarily immune to the effects of fear, and fatigue, though the latter will almost always catch up to her immediately after she has been snapped out of this state of mind.

- Regeneration C: A side effect of the reality marble she possesses, Alice's body seems to be automatically repaired at the expenditure of mana, typically seen with more grievous wounds when wires seem to 'knit' them closed, slowly becoming skin again once fully repaired.
Effects: Alice is able to heal her wounds overtime, at the expenditure of mana that scales with how serious her wounds are. Mortal wounds typically take a day or two to heal, and often put great strain on her physical form.

- Bounded Field A: The most common usage of her magic, in a way to partially replicate the effects of her noble phantasm, with much less mana expenditure, but less potent of an effect. It also serves as a way to help replenish her mana supply, and survey the area in which her Bounded Field covers.
Effects: Alice is able to use her constructs at a much longer range than normal, make them appear much more real than usual (although their color typically still remains a bluish white, for example, a bird construct resembles a bluish white bird rather than a wire framework that vaguely looks like a bird). In addition, she is both able to switch places with a construct within the bounded field's range, and if there are nearby constructs, take her master with her and have them switch places with a nearby constructs. Last but not least, this bounded field allows her to percieve things through the 'eyes' and 'ears' of applicable constructs. Naturally, all of these effects will only manifest within her bounded field.

- Intuition B: The key behind her adapability in combat. After all, with all the abilities Alice might have at her disposal, they would have been useless without her ability to understand and replicate the tactics of others, although not to the same kind of perfection the original tactics would have had.
Effects: Alice is capable of making rudimentary copies of her opponent's weapons, tactics, and in some fringe cases, their spells themselves. For instance, a concentrated form of 'gandr' where she condenses mana into less numerous, but more potent projectiles with significantly more range which she has picked up from a previous magus in her lifetime.

Noble Phantasm(s):
Name: Paradise (Reality Marble)
- The backbone of many of her abilities, it is a parting gift, passed onto her by her dying father right before she herself perished. Though not a wish granting device in any stretch of one's imagination, it has the potential to produce some very convincing replicas from within it's user's understanding.
Incantation:
"To make the world a better place, to cure the past of its mistakes...
I summon thee, oh world of mine
A place where dreams are reality
The place he once called...
Paradise"
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Appearance:

The reality marble manifests in the form of an expansive field, with fallen gears on either side, and various weapons embedded into the ground. A web-like formation of wires is scattered throughout the ground, representing the intended purpose of this enclosed space.
Effects: This bolsters the rank of her 'wire construct' skill, and can increase the rank of her endurance, noble phantasm, and luck by one at the cost of reducing her mana skill for short amounts of time. It also increases the rank of her wire constructs to A, and they become 'true' constructs momentarily while she is within this reality marble. In addition, the space within reality marble is treated like it is her bounded field.
Name: 'True Incantation'
- This is the result of the incantation that calls upon the origins of Alice's reality marble, the one her father had called 'Paradise'. Though it shares similar properties to 'Paradise', the world contained within becomes much more powerfull and yields stronger constructs. However, it also burns away Alice's mana supply at an alarming rate. It is this same incantation that would end up slowly killing her father when he fought Alice.
Incantation:
"I am the Bone of my Sword,
Steel is my body, fire is my blood.
I have created a thousand blades,
Unknown to deat.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, unlimited bladeworks!"
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Fortress
Appearance:

The reality marble takes on the form of it's 'mold', becoming a forge for many great weapons and constructs. Though, like before, a web-like structure seems to extend throughout the entire thing, almost transparent enough to escape people's notice, but upon closer inspection appears to be wires, like what Alice uses for the majority of her constructs.
Effects:
Like the 'Paradise' version of this reality marble, it boosts the previously listed skills by 1 rank, in addition to a plus due to it's true potential being unleashed. (Rank C becomes B+ rather than B). And it also gains more potent versions of Paradise's effects, at the cost of much faster mana expenditure. With her reality marble's true incantation, Alice has created some of her most fearsome and powerfull constructs yet to a devastating effect, but like her father, it will no doubt take a heavy toll on her body, and though she may not die per say as a servant, extensive use would most likely cause her to be severely weakened at best due to how much mana she has just spent, or completely disappear at worst.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
