1. Respect other players, and the GMs.
2. No Godmodding.
3. If a dispute occurs between two or more players during an IC confrontation, the GMs will be the final verdict on the outcome.
4. Try and post within a week, especially during combat scenes. If you’re unable to post for the week, please inform us ahead of time.

General - Posts are considered to be from a character’s perspective, and any actions in them can be contested by subsequent posts. If there is a disagreement, please attempt to resolve it between players before asking for a GM judgement. If you want to edit posts after an agreement is reached, please notify the GMs first.

Bases - Team bases are generally assumed to be ‘secure’ areas, since they will be under the purview of seven magi and a Caster-class Servant. The exact nature of the defences doesn’t need to be discussed in great detail. This doesn’t mean attacking them is off the table completely, particularly with anti-fortress Noble Phantasms, but this shouldn’t be a casual feat. There’s also nothing stopping individuals from creating their own individual workshop outside of these team bases.

Preparation - Preparations are expected and are a core part of a standard Magus’s role. However, to avoid most complications that offscreen preparations might entail, details of one’s preparations must be noted in the player’s post. The specifics of one’s prep should still be sent to the GMs for verification so long as the general idea is conveyed through a post. An example would be a post about the potion maker making their strongest potions, hinting that their Servant might not be able to handle said potions, whereas the specific details of what these potions do are sent to the GMs via PMs.

Actions - The action system is used largely to determine how interruptible certain actions are, and is largely used for Magi. Incantations use counts to determine the length; the more counts to an incantation, the higher ranked the resulting spell. Activating the function of a Mystic Code is quicker than even a one-count incantation. Noble Phantasm activations and the use of Command seals are also considered equivalent to a one-count action. Ordinary talking is a free action, so get as much anime trash talk in as you want. It’s also worth noting that Servant speed is on a different scale to Magus speed, but if you’re a Magi alone with a hostile Servant you have more to worry about than action economy.

Application Rules - Each player will be allowed one Master and one Servant slot, though multiple applications for each are permitted.
Do not put your application in the characters tab until it is accepted, instead, post the character in the OOC section, and we’ll give required changes in the thread, and advice over discord.

Servant Applications - Gilgamesh and Herakles are banned. Anyone born after 1901 is ineligible. Canon Servants may be applied, but not those with incomplete materials. In the case of joke servants, or Servants that have only made a very brief appearance and showcased few or none of their abilities, making an alternate version is fine. Everything else will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Atalanta is also probably banned.

Master Applications - No Masters able to fight Servants evenly. Canon Masters may be applied, but bear in mind this is an alternate universe, so at least some adjustments should be made.

Magecraft

Quality of Circuits: Ranked E-A

Quantity of Circuits: Ranked E-A

Elemental Affinity: The element of one’s magecraft, sometimes called alignment. Typically one, sometimes two, and exceptional magi are ‘Average Ones’, able to use all elements. Most use the Western system of Fire/Water/Earth/Wind (Plus some other special cases), but the Eastern system of Wood/Fire/Earth/Metal/Water is sometimes used too.

Attribute: Another important factor in Magecraft. Unlike Affinity, this is generally determined by the family’s specialty, and it’s possible to learn more over time. Includes things like Shirou’s Reinforcement, Rin’s Conversion, and the Matous’ Absorption. For more detail, check Theory of Magic in the helpful information section.

Magecraft: Further magecraft details. No need for a spell list or anything like that, this should be a more general overview of what they can do. Include ‘General Magecraft’ here if your character has basic Magecraft training; check the help section for details on what this includes.

Mystic Codes: Tools of Magecraft. Any magical items owned by the character.

Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items: Any significant skills or possessions owned by your character that don’t fit in the Magecraft section. No need to be too comprehensive, or really include money or anything that can be picked up without much hassle, that stuff can be assumed.

Class: Archer
Team: Red team (Magus Association)

True Name: Akhenaten
Title: The Heretic Pharaoh

Sex: Male

Alignment: Neutral Good
Attribute: Heaven
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Personality: He heard the voice that nobody else could. He is unique among pharaohs. He is the one who listened when all others failed. Who among the kings of Egypt could ever match that? Which of them could ever understand him? Which of them could hope to be a king like him? He is Akhenaten. Akhenaten is a special, once in a dynasty star who could not be matched. Much like Ozymandias who came after, Akhenaten was a genius. And yet, the world was not ready for him. Or at least, that is how he feels.
He is a noble pharaoh, who sees all others as cowards. Cowards who were unwilling to make the sweeping changes his genius required. He anticipates that others will attempt to hold him back, and as such if or when they eventually do, he accepts it as the reality of being too far ahead of the curve. This gap in understanding, often to a nearly alien degree, makes it difficult for him to work with others. It is that divide that makes him come as quite villainous, despite trying to be heroic.
Perhaps he's a tragic figure? One who desperately tried to help his friend, but in doing so nearly doomed his people? He refuses to believe such. Rather, he takes on the idea that all others are merely cowards. Cowards who run from their duty, and as such cannot and should not be worthy of his respect. Perhaps that is why, when he looks upon the memory of his wife and child... He hates them beyond all understanding.

Bio: The future Akhenaten was born Amenhotep, the younger brother of the crown prince Thutmose. Even then, as a child Amenhotep was strange. He once told his father that a voice came to him each morning. Arousing him from his sleep. His father dismissed it as the voice of the maids. But then the voice would come to the young Amenhotep at noon. Each time asking for somebody to reply. Amenhotep attempted to ignore this voice, but over time it continued to come, each time when the sun was highest in the sky. He turned to the priests, asking them for their thoughts. Each dismissed him as hearing the voices of the dead, until finally Amenhotep became desperate. He found a quiet spot, and whispered back to the voice when it came to him at noon.
"You can hear me?"

Yes, he could. The voice came not from maids, or from the dead. But rather... Aten, the god of the sun. Amenhotep would ask questions, and Aten would answer, only for Aten to ask questions and Amenhotep would reply. A friendship bloomed, until one day... Aten asked for Amenhotep to help him. To bring together people so that they may help. But Amenhotep could not. For he was not meant to be pharaoh.
"Who is to be pharaoh?" Aten asked.
"My brother, Thutmose." Amenhotep replied.
"I shall speak again in time." Aten replied, and then went silent. The next day, a little after noon, Amenhotep was greeted by several palace guards. Fear in their eyes as they told him the news. His brother, Thutmose, was dead. A beam of light had come down from the sky at noon, piercing his heart while he walked through the garden. It was to be Amenhotep now who would be Pharaoh.

And so it was. Amenhotep became pharaoh, and took on a new name. Akhenaten. He would speak to Aten again, and together they set about the work of bringing a reform to Egypt. Changing the worship of the old gods, to Aten. Over time though, Akhenaten came to learn more about Aten, who was not a god like the others. But rather, the AI system of an alien vessel. Its crew long dead, it needed fresh bodies to fill it and become the new crew who would pilot it home. Akhenaten hatched the plan, of creating the city of Amarna, which he would fill with the best and brightest. When the time was right, Aten would fly over the city, taking the people to fill its empty crew.
And so, the city was made. But Akhenaten's rule was fraught with difficulties. The priests challenged his every choice, and sought to have Aten destroyed. Akhenaten refused to have Aten destroyed, and the battle with the priests was a long internal feud that brought pain to all of Egypt. Eventually, Akhenaten became ill. The other gods became wrathful, and began battle with Aten. To the people of Egypt, this resulted in a horrible plague that killed its crops and its people with reckless abandon.
Akhenaten died after seventeen years of rule. His kingdom was left to his wife, until it was time for his son to take over as Pharaoh.

The city of Amarna was abandoned, and the plans he had tried to accomplish in life of helping his friend Aten never succeeded. The gods returned to power, and Aten was eventually destroyed by Pharaoh Horemheb. Now, he is summoned, and this time with Aten at his side, he shall accomplish what he had once failed. With his wish upon the grail.

Armaments: Akhenaten is draped in golden jewelry known as the armor of Aten. Forged from an alien craft, it provides a field around Akhenaten that, along with his skill 'Protection of the Sun God' drastically reduces the damage that others can hope to deal to him.
The armor's secondary function allows him to use this field as a means of floating through the air, much like a sun might. Though it is certainly not as agile, and makes him a more noticeable target.
The main weapon he possesses, beyond the defense of his armor, is his noble phantasm, Aten.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Parameters:
Strength: D
Endurance: C
Agility: B
Mana: A
Luck: B
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Class Skills:
- Independent Action A: The ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from one's Master; the ability that allows for action even in the absence of the Master. It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master.
- Magic Resistance A: Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a 'Magus Killer'.

Personal Skills:
- Divinity C: The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels, one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit. At the same time that a ruler is one that controls the people and reigns over the land, a pharaoh is also someone who reaches the gods. A pharaoh has his divinity change in accordance with factors such as the era, or in Akhenaten's case the feelings directed towards him. As the Heretic Pharaoh who betrayed all others, he suffers a rank down in this skill.

- Protection of the Sun God (Aten) A: A protection granted by the Sun God Aten to Akhenaten. It is equal and yet opposite to the version granted by the Sun God Ra. Reduces damage and mental interference from all sources, except for other divine sources. This skill triggers when under the rays of the sun. This also qualifies when using Aten.

- Clairvoyance C+: A visual ability that is also called "Eagle Eye". This is generally a must-have ability of the Archer class. It is also frequently used during scouting. Simply looking from a high location is sufficient to fully survey a town and search for enemies. In addition, Clairvoyance will affect the accuracy of bows. It connotes superior visual perception and dynamic occipital capture, such as to supplement the long-range aiming of projectile weapons.

- Alien Origin (Nanobots) D: A skill that denotes an alien origin. For Akhenaten, it is nanobots that come from Aten. It is unknown if the nanobots infested Akhenaten at a young age, and are what is responsible for his ability to communicate with Aten, or if they were granted to him after that connection was made. It is similar to the memory partition ability used by Atlas mages. It allows Akhenaten to partition his thoughts to form multiple independent thought processes. While normal people can only have a single "room" in their brain and focus on one thought, partitioning adds partitions to the one room to create multiple rooms. Akhenaten is able to add two extra rooms to his mind.

NOBLE PHANTASMS

Class: Rider
Team: Undecided
True Name: Cao Cao
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Attribute: Man

Personality: A cunning, pragmatic man that cares nothing for what others think of him. He cares little about status or traditions and judges people based solely on their ability. However, despite how ambitious and unscrupulous he is, he still possesses a high amount of personal integrity and treats his allies and subordinates well. He sees opportunity where others only see ruin, and thrives in chaos even as he works to impose order.

On a personal level, he is seemingly jovial and charismatic, capable of laughing casually with a person to their face while plotting against them in his head at the same moment. He is suspicious and untrusting at heart to the point of being borderline paranoid when confronted with those he is not already familiar with.

While he is a fair and legally just person who seeks to bring peace, Cao Cao is not swayed by emotion so much as logic and reason, making him appear rather unsympathetic and unscrupulous to the idealistic.

Biography: A crafty, ambitious man who rose up from minor nobility during the waning years of Han China to become one of the defining men of the era. Not content with remaining a cavalry commander for a declining dynasty, Cao Cao became a warlord in his own right, carving out a fiefdom of his own and subjugating many rival warlords to become one of the preeminent powers of his time. While Cao Cao had the last Han emperor under his control, he never seized the throne for himself, preferring to act with impunity under the imperial mandate instead. By the time of his death, Cao Cao's domain of Wei spanned over a third of China.

However, Cao Cao's greatest ambition had been to reunify China under his control into a prosperous and peaceful state. He died of illness at the age of 65, content in the assumption that his successors would finish what he had started. Historical records indicate that Cao Cao was a brilliant ruler, administrator, and general, with his state of Wei flourishing at the time of his death.

Fighting Style: A cheap-shotting bastard. While a formidable swordsman in his own right, Cao Cao always seeks the most expedient and efficient path to victory, no matter what others may think of his tactics. In personal combat, that means nothing is off the table. Crotch shots, eye gouging, running away to try again later, et cetera.

Parameters:
STR: C
END: B
AGI: B
MAG: C
LUK: A+

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.

Riding:
A: Creatures on the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast rank can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind. Maneuvers that would normally be absolutely impossible become trivial.

Personal Skills
Hero of Chaos:
B: Cao Cao’s most notable feats of charisma revolved around his eye for talent, finding and inspiring loyalty in many able heroes, generals, and scholars of his time. While ordinarily he was content to delegate tasks and battles to them, his leadership abilities were such that even great heroes were inspired upon seeing their lord take the field.

Increases the morale of allied forces at a rate equal to the equivalent rank in Charisma. Effect is temporarily doubled for one round when Cao Cao makes his appearance on a battlefield.

Disengage:
A: The ability to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat or reset the battle conditions. At this rank, there is a bonus effect of returning battle conditions to what they were at the beginning of the match (1st turn) and restores the condition of this Skill to the initial value. At the same time, it forcibly releases some of the bad status ailments inflicted on the user of this Skill.

Eye of the Mind (True):
B: A heightened capacity for observation, refined through training, discipline and experience. A danger-avoidance ability that utilizes the intelligence collected up to the current time as the basis in order to predict the opponent’s activity and change the current situation. This is not a result of talent, but an overwhelming amount of combat experience. A weapon wielded by none other than a mortal, gained through tenacious training. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning. At this rank, the user 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.

As a warlord that commanded armies during the tumultuous period leading up to the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao saw many battlefields over the course of his life and honed his abilities and reflexes upon them. He was forced to make retreats on several occasions, and by now is inured to such dangers, capable of making calm judgments even during moments of pure chaos.

Noble Phantasms

Seven-Star Sword
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description:
The blade given to Cao Cao by Wang Yun in an attempt to kill Dong Zhou. Cao Cao pretended to present the sword as a gift before attempting his assassination, but failed and was forced to flee the capital of Luoyang.

This legendary blade was said to have been able to cut through any armor, and deals damage equivalent to one rank above its given rank as a result.

As a result of both Cao Cao’s failed assassination in his legend and his being summoned as a Rider instead of a Saber, this Noble Phantasm’s rank is lower than one would expect.

Shadow Runner
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2-40
Maximum Number of Targets: 100
Description:
Cao Cao's personal steed, a black horse said to have run so quick that it would cast no shadow during its sprint. It bore Cao Cao to safety during his flight from Wan Castle, surviving numerous wounds during the process.

Combined with Cao Cao’s inherent Riding skill, this sable steed can maintain a ludicrously fast pace, capable of racing against some of the greatest mounts in legend and myth. Shadow Runner’s sheer speed creates waves of force in its wake that resemble black flames. When executing a frontal charge at full strength, this horse can tear through the front ranks of an army and carve a path to victory.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao Arrives
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: -
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description:
Cao Cao is so famed for his military tactics and general ruthlessness such that a modern Chinese saying is literally "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives", equivalent to the Western phrase "Speak of the devil". Whenever his true name is uttered, Cao Cao is capable of teleporting within ten feet of the person who spoke his name. The teleportation is not silent, and the target will be aware that Cao Cao has appeared. However, the prana cost of this ability increases with his distance to the speaker, and anything greater than an average modern city's length is impossible for a Master's prana reserves to sustain and will likely kill them. Anything greater than half a city's length will generally exhaust a Master's prana reserves. Once his name is uttered, Cao Cao is only aware of the distance between himself and the speaker as well as the corresponding prana cost, and nothing else. Moreover, he only has five seconds to decide whether or not he wishes to teleport, and he will have no clue of what the speaker's defenses will be like. This Noble Phantasm can backfire greatly against Cao Cao if he warps into a heavily-defended area.

Extra:
Voice actor: Douglas Rye

Class: Assassin

Team:???

True Name: Hattori Hanzo

Sex: Female

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Attribute: Man

History: A samurai first and a ninja second, she employed subterfuge in many of their battles. Her own skills at battle was overshadowed however, by her most famous escort mission, a feat that allowed her lord to escape under almost impossible odds. Usually never seen without armor, and thus was assumed usually assumed male by those she commanded.

Personality: A pleasant sort of person, one that was easy to talk to, as well as easy to approach. Seemingly benign, and soft spoken, it would seem that she could never really get angry. Soft, and looking unlikely to the next person to stab you in the back. While she can be boisterous in battle, she never truly loses that soft edge, as if trying to lure the opponents into feeling a bit complacent. Other than that, the strongest reaction one can get out of her to anything would just be at most a small jump or the like. Has utterly no qualms about using dirty tactics, lying, or manipulating people to get the desired result.

Ninjutsu(Hanzo) - A+++

At A+++ Rank, one stands shoulder to shoulder among the legendary ninjas. Being one of the more prominent ninja during her period, she was naturally extremely adept at this. Includes usage of ninja tactics, strategies, torture techniques, and other arts. Due to her legend of fearless tactics even with only a few against much more numerous enemies, she specializes in defensive battles and counter attacks, especially when outmatched and or outnumbered, thus gaining appropriate bonuses to those.

Subversive Activities - B

The ability to reduce enemy's war potential in the preliminary stage before going to battle.
An expert of traps. With this skill at Rank B, it is possible to disable close to 30 percent of the enemy forces before they advance.

Class: Caster

Team: Red

True Name: Skuld, Wicked Elf Queen of Denmark



Sex: Female

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Attribute: Heaven

History: Once, long ago, a hideous woman bade a man to give her the boon of staying within his home. She then bade of him the right to his bed, and he accepted. Therein, the hag transformed into a vision of beauty and the man forced himself upon her; Thought to be a dream by the man, the woman vanished only to appear three days after with a baby nestled against her. This was Skuld, the woman who would bring ruin to the Danes, and herself be brought low by vengeance.

She would marry Haeroward, slay her own half brother, and cement her terrible power by raising an army, and then raising that same army from the dead to slay all who opposed her. Despite her great sorcery and terrible power, with her husband slain the wicked queen fell apart at the seams. All her waking moments were spent clutching his animated corpse, trapped in her own delusion of their private kingdom paradise. She was tortured endlessly for her betrayal, yet if asked about it, she would say she only regretted the death of her husband and would gladly die ten thousand times the same way if it meant he would have survived.

Personality: Caster is...unusual and idiosyncratic, to say the least. She is prone to being very upbeat, cordial, and incredibly polite when dealing with others, but has been shown to be capricious within her own workshop, often creating something and initially boasting that it was a major breakthrough, only to discard it mere moments later as "gutter trash" before resuming her work. She is most certainly a disturbing individual, very comfortable around both death and the dying, often seeking out those about to die in order to re-purpose corpses, or simply to amuse herself. She is not above using underhanded tactics, thinking that so long as minimal losses are assured for her side, anything is fair game.

In spite of her sinister nature, Caster proves to be somewhat...amicable to her allies. Caster, despite her macabre actions and rather sinister methodology of magecraft, is loyal to a fault. Her class of caster as well as her skillset being very unsuitable to a regular type of holy grail war results in her requiring an alliance with others, and, being in such a large one, Caster is more than content to oblige by the suggestions and orders of her fellow members of the ??? faction.

Parameters:
Strength: E
Agility: D
Endurance: C
Mana: A+
Luck: C

---

Class Skills
Territory Creation: B
The capacity for a Magus to establish territory, usually for the purpose of collecting and restoring mana. At this stage, the creation of a "Workshop" is possible, and as such Caster's limit is that of a relatively small sized building or room, in which her mana will gradually restore itself. In her Workshop she is able to cast spells for significantly less mana cost. In addition, she can sense the presence of others within her territory.

Item Construction: B
The ability of a Caster class servant to create magical items. Due to her legend in life never detailing her as creating any objects, it is a relatively low rank. With this she can only create the most basic of objects that can serve a magical purpose, basic remedies, and rudimentary weapons. Naturally, none of these are on par with Noble Phantasms.

---

Personal Skills
Seiðr: A+
A nordic form of magecraft that originated from the Vanir Gods . The magic itself is incredibly varied to the extent that if given enough time to parse the effects of a spell Caster is certainly able to replicate it with her extensive knowledge of Seiðr. In particular Caster's favored methods of using her magic are in the forms of enchantments, illusions, and necromancy. She is especially fond of the usage of necromancy, reflecting her legend as a literal raiser of armies. The magic itself is shamanistic in nature with a good number of spells requiring time to prepare. One of the most powerful spells she had ever conjured completely hid all of her husband’s army, which amounted to over 10,000 warriors completely masked from senses both magical and physical. While she has nowhere near the capability to perform such a feat, making one person undetectable is well within her means.

Blood of the Sun: C
A weaker form of divinity formed from the link that elves shared with the Vanir and Aesir gods. As a half-elf, Caster's parameters have been given a slight boost, mostly to her Mana and Agility parameters, as well as her magecraft capabilities. This also confers with it a slight degree of Magic Resistance, at least on the level of D rank Magic Resistance.

Allegiance of Spirit: B
A skill that formed from Caster's deep unshakeable loyalty to those she most trusts. This skill can only affect a single person at a time and cannot boost a human master's capabilities, instead letting them tap into her workshop's mana reserves to replenish their own. Over the course of a Holy Grail War, the devotion Caster shows to a single individual can begin to manifest as a supplemental mana source that they are capable of drawing upon for whatever needs they have. In addition, the servant will find itself capable of drawing on the mana present within Caster's workshop if it finds itself in need of restoration of their health and staving off the effects of curses that damage the Servant. Once her trust is lost it cannot be regained. Caster can assign this skill to any target she has trust in at any time, changing who receives and benefits from the effects.

Noble Phantasms:

Name: Uddøde hær af Hjörvarđr (Undead Army of Heoroweard)
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-100
Description: A summoning Noble Phantasm that uses a great number of corpses, numbering in the thousands. While the mana cost for this noble phantasm is staggeringly high, it can be lowered significantly with a tribute of over a thousand corpses. The summoned beings number in the tens of thousands, all skeletal recreations of those who fought and died for Heoroweard's quest for kinghood. Leading the charge himself is her reanimated husband, who's arms manifest only as a ghostly apparition, with a ghastly blade clenched between non-existent fingers.

The individuals skeletons and cadavers are relatively weak compared to any servant and have an equivalent stat of E-- at all times. Heoroweard's form is greatly strengthened via Caster's eternal love for him. In terms of stats, he himself would be on par with a powerful Saber class servant, capable of going toe to toe with nearly any normal servant in a Holy Grail war. He cannot, however, be summoned without the army being in place, and if enough of them are eradicated, Caster will have no choice but to end her Noble Phantasm early. In addition, any individuals killed within the radius of the Noble Phantasm with the exception of servants will be forced to rise and join the army, skin and flesh dissolving to free their bones for the endless march for the true king of Denmark.

Riding: A+
All vehicles and all creatures up to the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.

Magic Resistance: B
Negates E, D and C ranked spells. It is difficult for them to be affected even by Greater Thaumaturgy.

Personal Skills

Primordial Runes: -
Rider has Runes hailing from Scandinavia, almost known as Scandinavian Magic Crests. These "Letters" of power were given to her by Odin and then passed down to her beloved Sigurd. She cannot replicate the original runes without sufficient divinity and attempting so would result in fatal damage to her core.

Brynhildr can produce even spells on the level of High-Thaumaturgy as single action without the use of an Aria since she only needs to apply the Runes for the spell to take effect. This opens up a myriad of possibilities to her magecraft. From offensive spells, self buffs, and even high-grade healing are easily possible through this skill.

Divinity: E
The measure of one's aptitude as a Divine Spirit. It has an effect that reduces special defensive values called 'purge defense' in direct correlation with the Divinity's rank. It also allows the Servant to break through skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig.

Hero's Bridesmaid: C
Valkyrie are naturally those whom encourage and guide heroes to absolute victory. Bestowed upon the most idolized and infamous of these women, this skill represents her ability to allow others to push through the impossible and overcome disadvantageous situations to be victorious.

Rider is able to synchronize her magical energy with others, namely Servants. Doing so allows them a greater degree of control and finesse, allowing them bonuses to succeeding in situations of great risk or a high degree of failure.

Title: The Hall of Flame that Safeguard Brynhildr
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1~2
Targets: 1

Description: A conceptual armor of flames that's entire purpose is to safeguard Brynhildr from contact with the outside world. Its autonomous defense that scorches all those who'd seek to harm or even those who'd merely touch Brynhildr with divine flames. The Conceptual flames will jump to Rider's defense if attacked, lashing out at anyone who seeks to harm her. Its magical properties sense hostility and bloodlust and will reach out to intercept, generally within five meters or "melee" distance. The armor will consciously attempt to intercept approaching projectiles but an overwhelming number of them can pierce the barrier.

These powerful flames have the traits of "Fire" and "Divine" and are therefore strong against entities whom are weak against these types of attacks. The flames move independent of Rider's will and can be considered their own entity. They will move to protect the wearer even if they are unaware of an attack incoming and will react with a speed equal to "B rank agility". Those of quicker speed can out maneuver the flames but Brynhildr will likely be alerted of the threat from the flames autonomous counter. Rider cannot direct the flames to attack since they're a purely reactionary measure against an opponent, she can however parry and integrate its activation into her masterful swordplay to increase its effectiveness.

This armor cannot be removed from Rider's person and will manifest automatically in the event of an attack. Its classification as a Curse makes it unable to discern Friend from Foe and will attack anyone who seeks to touch or harm Brynhildr regardless of her intentions. Being active for great lengths of time is extremely draining on one's master.

Name: Hingstens Seier
Title: The Ferryman Of The Dead Which Floats On Ivory Wings
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1~20
Targets: 100

Description: Like the famed Charon across the river Styx, Brynhildr was a valkyrie. One who guided souls to the afterlife, particularly the worthy ones, and put those wandering souls of lesser make to rest. A descendant of Sleipnir whom could travel even to the domain of Hel the horse was these winged horses are the method by which the Valkyrie guided the souls of the Worthy dead. The horse is the beacon to which all souls must answer the call and upon which all souls are drawn to. In this way it acts as a high tier sacrament which banishes spirits and souls from their unnatural state upon the world.

This mount has seen countless combats and countless wars so Rider receives a '+' modifier to Agility while performing complex aerial techniques. While her mount can out pace all but the fastest Servants it is unmatched when it comes to maneuverability, transforming into a homing 'bullet' that relentlessly pursues its target. The horse is also immune to Brynhildr's other Noble Phantasm and its harsh flames due to being a gift from Odin.
.
It also has the ability to "jump" between spaces through a dimensional leap, even able to reach the Reverse Side of the World if necessary. This is because it was supposed to be able to travel between the realms to gather souls so this has manifested as a powerful ability to travel which exceeds common sense. It's very consuming to travel in this fashion and can only be used a number of times equal to two plus Brynhildr's mana score (Six). Further it can only be used once per round no matter how much magical backup Rider has.

In addition to being able to "Jump" between dimension the horses are a walking and flying "Exorcism" leagues above anything that is possible in the modern era. Upon calling out its True Name the winged horse begins to radiate a divine white light that returns all spirits to their proper resting place. Its on a level that it even can immediately banish any wraiths that come within range of its body and undo any possessions of living people just by standing in the horse's presence. Servants, and other high-class spiritual beings, are not immune either and will take constant damage when in moderate proximity. In fact one could say it's entire purpose is to return heroes to Valhalla.

Name: Gungnir
Title: Declaration of the Great God (False)
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 5~40
Targets: 1

A imitation of the great Spear possessed by the All-Father, a weapon forged of coalesced light that pierces all inevitability and uncertainty. The runes that have been etched into the tip are a replication of those that were on the original Gungnir and impart the 'Fate of being impaled by Gungnir' on anyone wounded by it. A single scratch is enough to mark the target with this inevitability as the runes flow from the tip and brand Rider's foe. Even without its true name being released, this divine curse upon her opponent gives all of Rider's attacks a 'Rank up' and allow the spear to move at impossible angles to continue wounding her target. It isn't a perfectly physical object so it can lengthen (To a certain degree), bend at strange angles, or phase through mundane barriers to strike the opponent so long as they are marked with the 'Brand of Odin'.

A spear is a thrown weapon, and the original Gungnir was emphasized in myth to be as such. It's true function is hindered unless the target is marked with the 'Brand of Odin', but upon realizing this requirement Rider is able to throw the replica with devastating force. Calling out the spears true name turns it into a genuine mote of light that streaks across the battlefield and phases through all barriers to pierce the target. While it's physical power is rather low for a Noble Phantasm it's low cost and inevitable nature make it deadly especially in the hands of someone like Brynhildr.

Name: Yao Ying Xi

Titles: Fallen Tiger Master

Team: -

Sex: Female

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.

History: Balance in everything, duality in all, from the grassroots, to the five, to two, and to one that was all. The basics of Baqua, the beginnings of Yin and Yang, and coincidentally, the basis for the ancient teachings her family's medicines were based upon. Herbs, powdered ingredients, insects, blood, animal and even minerals were used. It was so ingrained into their lifestyle that it was as natural as breathing.

For Yao Ying Xi, her life was a bit stricter, for she, like the rest of her siblings was to learn the family tradition, ancient Chinese medicine dating as far back as the Yellow Emperor's rule. Everything was to be balanced, from her behaviour, to her diet, to even her room arrangements. Nothing could be neglected, for even the slightest deviation in the flow of Yin or Yang could produce unexpected results. Taught from since she could walk, she was understandably very well versed in her family craft, though not a master yet. That, of course, included her family's own brand of martial arts.

If asked however, what her martial arts was, she would just smile and say Wushu. Most would just accept that and let it be. For those discerning few who knew what wushu meant however, would find no real answer, for the martial arts they practiced was a mix of Baquazhang and Tai Chi, soft circular movements that can crash like the waves of a raging sea, or flow like a creek, with emphasis on redirection and circular movements.

She had joined the war on her own impulse, guided by her own ambitions rather than any directions from her family. As to what her goals were, that was for herself to know.

Personality: Balanced, temperate, and calm. For those who did not know her well, she was one that exuded the aura of a pleasant, polite person, never prone to outbursts, anger or strong opinions. For those who knew her for longer, notices that was all she exhibited, as if nothing else beyond those existed. Not repressed or held back, but a true absence.

Class: Lancer

Team: Red Team

True Name: Goliath


Sex: Male

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Attribute: Earth

History: Goliath was born in the city of Gath to a single mother, Orpah - he had 3 other brothers, who would grow to similar proportions as Goliath himself. Goliath never knew who his fathers were, and due to his mother's personality, was forced to grow up fast to take care of himself.

When he became an adult, Goliath stood taller than anyone else in Gath. With his natural size came great strength, and he decided to use this strength to join the Philistine army. He quickly rose through their ranks, developing impressive skill with his oversized weapons. He grew to be the greatest warrior of the Philistines, and was chosen as their champion during the war against the Israelites. One of his first acts was to steal the Ark of the Covenant, which he brought to the temple of Dagon, earning him his god's favor.

Not seeing the point to the bloodshed the war caused, Goliath sought to end it in a pragmatic manner - a one-on-one duel, which would decide the conflict. Every day, during the morning and evening prayers of the Israelites, Goliath would state his challenge to duel their champion. And every day, Goliath was answered with silence. As time went on, he began to hurl insults at the Israelites for their cowardice, denouncing their God and insulting King Saul - all in an attempt to incite the Israelites to end the war.

When a challenger finally came forward, Goliath was infuriated - it was a mere boy, rather than King Saul or even just a normal soldier. While Goliath was equipped with his spear and sword, as well as his incredible armor, the boy merely had a staff and sling. Goliath expressed his fury, cursing the Israelites and their god for sending a boy to fight him, before attempting to stab David with his spear. David launched 4 stones at Goliath's feet, with the fifth connecting with Goliath's skull, killing him instantly.

Personality: Lancer is the form that most embodies Goliath's devotion to the Philistines and his dark god, Dagon. As a result, Lancer is incredibly obedient to most masters, with this class being the 'easiest' one to manage out of Goliath's possible summonings. Lancer is efficient and pragmatic, preferring to end a conflict quickly rather than dragging it out, and being more than willing to use underhanded and cheap tactics in order to secure victory. He will obey most Masters and can mesh well with many different personalities - he views his summoning as a purely business relationship, obeying a Master because they have a Command Spell they could use on him rather than out of any kind of loyalty.

Lancer greatly detests the Judeo-Christians, viewing them as cowards who can't fight without their God's support. He doesn't see the hypocrisy in this belief. Out of all of his possible classes, his hatred for David is weakest when summoned as a Lancer - he can still complain about him for hours on end, but he won't fly into a rage at the man's name. Lancer does not work with Jews or Christians - if his Master believes in Yahweh, it is unlikely that Goliath will comply with their orders without the threat of a Command Spell.

Lancer has a soft spot for children, who remind him of his difficult childhood. While he is willing to do nearly any deplorable act for the slightest of advantages, he will never risk the life of a youth - one of the few reasons he is not as hateful towards David when summoned as a Lancer is because David was so young at the time of Lancer's death.

Lancer holds one being in reverence - Dagon. One of the few beings that Lancer feels has ever valued him for more than his size and strength, Lancer worships Dagon and praises him for the smallest of blessings. This can cause difficulties between Lancer and religious allies, as he will be very dismissive of their gods - and if they believe in Yahweh, Lancer will be openly hostile.

Armaments: While his sword is his most powerful and known weapon, Lancer was much more confident with his spear, having trained with it far longer than he had with his sword. His spear is heavier than most men can lift, let alone wield effectively, and is 13 feet long. Lancer also wields a single Javelin, which is more akin to what most men would use as a two-handed club. He can throw it with immense force thanks to his strength, but only relies on it when his enemies are out of reach or attempting to run. Lancer's shield, like most of his equipment, is ridiculously oversized - a needed quality in order to reasonably cover his body.

Most impressive of Lancer's armaments is his Armor - while some have described it as 60 tons or more, it was really a 'mere' 5 tons in weight. Lancer's '+' Modifier to Endurance is active while he wears his armor, but so is his '-' Modifier to Agility. The armor also limits his range of motion, and prevents him from moving in certain environments (he doesn't work well with wooden floors). This armor also does not protect his forehead, in the exact spot where David's stone hit him. Despite these inconveniences, Lancer's armor makes him incredibly difficult to harm.

Parameters:
Strength: A
Endurance: B+
Agility: C-
Mana: D
Luck: E

Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: B-
Magic Resistance capable of canceling spells with a chant below three verses, with even High Thaumaturgy greater rituals struggling to affect him. Despite being born in the Age of Gods, Lancer has had very little interaction with Magecraft as a whole. When summoned as a Saber, this is reflected in a much lower Rank - however, as a Lancer, his Magic Resistance is far higher because of his Heart and his god's protection.

This skill is far weaker against Holy Sacraments and Holy Magics, however, as the will of God is what resulted in Lancer's death.

Personal Skills:
Fish-god's Blessing: B
Lancer possesses the blessing of the god Dagon which allows him to breathe underwater as well as move and fight just as well as when he is on land, despite the immense weight of his body and equipment.

Terrifying Presence: C
While he waited to fight King Saul, Lancer taunted the Israelites near constantly. Despite demanding to fight a champion of the Israelites every morning and night for 40 days, everyone was too fearful to even think of challenging him. This skill causes anyone who sees Lancer and considers him an enemy to become fearful of him, making them much less willing to face him in a direct fight than they otherwise would, as well as somewhat weakening their melee offensive prowess.

The effect of this skill is a form of Mental Interference - as a result, it can be negated by skills that block Mental Interference (Bravery, Mental Pollution, etc.) of C rank or higher. Additionally, because of Lancer's legend, Divinity of C rank or higher will also allow this skill to be ignored, with only D rank Divinity being needed if the Servant is related to Jewish or Christian legends.

Of course, this skill is less effective on those who wish to take a ranged approach to fight Lancer. The effect fades rapidly upon leaving Goliath's presence.

Monstrous Strength: D+
A Skill granted from Lancer's Nephilim heritage and the connotations his name has with monsters. Lancer can temporarily boost his Strength by 1 rank, but only for short periods of time and causing significant damage to himself. While doing so, he appears to grow scales along his body. The damage he takes is less severe if used in the water.

This Skill can be used much longer and invokes much less damage while Lancer's Noble Phanasm is invoked, but Lancer will still take some damage if he is not submerged in water.

Protection of the Faith: C-
A skill born from a deep commitment to one's faith, rather than being gifted from a higher being. Lancer developed this from his fierce devotion to Dagon, which motivated many of his actions during life. Lancer can sacrifice his health in order to remove negative status effects, with the amount of health lost based on the severity of the status effect.

Negative Status Effects imposed on Lancer through 'Divine' means cannot be removed through this skill, regardless of their severity or source (A Skill, Holy Sacraments, an NP, etc).

Noble Phantasms:

Name: Dagon's Heart
Title: Image of the Deep One
Rank: B-
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 0
Targets: 1
Description: The heart that beats in his chest is Lancer's Noble Phantasm - massive even for his already impressive size, Lancer's Heart is black and has the image of his God etched into its surface.

Even without invoking its True Name, the power of Lancer's heart is constantly beating. Lancer is able to control water that is within 5 meters without calling his Noble Phantasms True Name, and can use it to restrain and attack opponents. Water controlled by Lancer has immense force behind it, having strength comparable to a Servant with a D in Strength. Freshwater is much harder to control however, being one rank weaker. This ability is extremely useful in an aquatic environment, allowing Lancer to move more quickly as well as drown weaker opponents.

If Lancer actually invokes his Noble Phantasm and supplies it with Magical Energy, his control over water becomes far more potent - the strength of his water rises by one rank, and controlling saltwater is as dextrous as using his hands. In addition, the range Lancer can control water is doubled.

Lancer's improved hydrokinetic abilities are not the only result of using this Noble Phantasm, however. When Dagon's Heart is used, Lancer physically begins to adopt characteristics of his evil God - an unholy hybrid between a man and a fish. This comes with several advantages, mostly designed for improving Lancer's prowess in a body of water. The abilities Lancer gains in this form include:

• One rank up in Agility while submerged in Saltwater.
• A weak healing factor while submerged in Saltwater.
• Scales that grow across his entire body, acting similar to Scale Armor.
• Dead, fish-like eyes that have incredible night vision and can see through any mundane obscurement in water.
• Immunity to pressure changes and immense pressure from the water.

This Noble Phantasm comes along with a curse, however. Since Lancer's death, the term 'David and Goliath' has become synonymous with 'an underdog winning'. As a result, using this Noble Phantasm has developed an odd quirk - the more advantageous the situation Lancer finds himself in, the more likely he is to fail. Against an equally powerful servant, or multiple servants, Lancer will operate normally. But if he was already winning or is fighting alongside several allies against a single opponent, it will almost seem like fate itself is conspiring to make Lancer lose.

This doesn't make Lancer any weaker - it just makes his enemies much more effective at dealing with him. If Lancer tried using this Noble Phantasm against an enemy Master alone, it would be impossible for him to kill them - and even if they couldn't kill Lancer, they would easily be able to escape. This curse is always active since Lancer's Noble Phantasm is always active, but is significantly weaker and much less overt when the true name is not invoked.

Name: Guo Min

Titles: N/A

Team: Red Team


Sex: Male

Alignment: True Neutral

History: The Guo family is a very aged Magecraft Clan, originating in China during the 6th century. They were formed under the pretense of reaching the Root through the development of their Mystic Codes - which they hoped, in theory, would be far more efficient at finding a route to the Root than they would be. The family peaked in the 16th century before the family's oldest (and communal) Gu Jar was destroyed in a massive fire. Their Magic Crest was lost shortly after, a failed Transplant granting an enemy of the family enough time to kill the head and hide their body. The Guo family would leave their homeland of China in the mid 19th century, during the havoc caused by the Opium Wars. They now live in the Turkish city of Sivas.

Having been displaced from their homeland and losing the precious Magic Crest that so many Magi hold dear, the Guos underwent a similar degradation that occurred with the Makiri. While they managed to slow their falling Magic Circuit Quality by selling their resources to marry second and third children of other Mage Families, the Modern Guo has far weaker Circuits than what could be expected of such an ancient family.

Min was born with Circuits somewhat more potent than the average Guo, and as a result, was chosen to be the heir of the family. He looks forward to very little, with the Guo already having sold off the majority of their resources and holdings to continue existing.

The Guo family head had made a deal with members of the Clocktower - in exchange for assisting them in stopping a Great Ritual in their country, The Mage's Association would grant them the spiritual lands that the Guo family once called home, as well as the title of Second Owner in that region.

Personality: Min is the exact opposite of what one would expect from a Mage. He is kind, compassionate, and very caring towards those he holds dear. He tries to use his Families Magecraft for nonviolent purposes, such as scouting areas or cursing items and areas rather than people.

This is not an entirely honest reflection of his persona, however. Min acts in this way in order to manipulate others, trying to get other people to help and care for him. He does care for people and isn't lying when he helps others, but Min is quick to forget someone when they die or are of no use to him. If he stood to gain something that could benefit his family, he would betray and kill most people - and while this behavior is what most Mages would do, Min would have a smile on his face as he stabs his allies in the back.

In the Master-Servant Relationship, Min is very relaxed - He has been coddled and had his life dictated by his family for a long time, making him quite happy to just let his Servant act in whatever way they wish. Because of his family's financial situation and the fundamentally conservative nature of his Magecraft, Min is unwilling to use his Command Spells outside of the direst circumstances.

Min is extremely desperate to win the war since it is the only way he can stop his family's slow death. As such, he is not above sacrificing his own life if it would guarantee winning the war.

Magecraft:
Curses and Familiars

Quality of Circuits: C

Quantity of Circuits: C

Elemental Affinity: Water

Attribute: Concentrate

Magecraft:
Curses: The Guo family specializes in Curses. More specifically, they specialize in crafting familiars out of Curses. While Ming is capable of casting relatively weak curses on his own, he is far more potent when given time to prepare his curses. By utilizing a Mystic Code known as a Gu Jar, the Guo family can cause curses to fight and assimilate each other, growing stronger and more complex the more curses are introduced to the environment.

Familiars: After coalescing enough, Curses can possess the bodies of animals and act as familiars. While theoretically any animal can be made a familiar in this manner, most curses prefer the form of poisonous or venomous animals. They function best in the form of a Snake, Scorpion, Centipede, Toad, or Spider.

Transfer of Consciousness: Min is not old enough to have had advanced training in Magecraft. As a result, the only 'General Magecraft' that he has learned thus far is the ability to transfer one's consciousness to their familiars and utilize their senses.

Mystic Codes:
Gu Jar: The primary Magecraft of the Guo family relies on bonding with this specially made Mystic Code. Upon casting a curse at the Gu Jar, it will be absorbed into the Jar and contained within, so long as Magical Energy is periodically supplied to the Jar. Far more interestingly, the Gu Jar can store large quantities of curses, which will slowly consume one another over time. As they consume more curses within the jar, a Curse will grow stronger and more complex. In this manner, the Guo family has managed to artificially inflate the strength and versatility of their curses.

Min's Gu Jar specifically is around 10 pounds, and has 3 compartments - he typically uses two of them to maintain familiars, and uses the third compartment to develop new curses.

Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items:
Poisons: Min is decently learned in various poisons and toxins - both how to administer them, as well as diagnose their effects. Compared to older Guo family members and Mages that specialize in Poisons, however, Min's knowledge is quite limited.

Class: Saber

True Name: Okinaga-Tarashi, Empress Jingū



Sex: Female

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Attribute: Heaven

History: Originally born under the name Okinaga-Tarashi, her story is told throughout the texts known as the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki. Descendant to a legendary korean prince, she married Emperor Chūai. During his reign she was possessed by an unknown divine spirit, which told of a land of amazing wealth to the west across the ocean, and bequeathed it upon him. He was skeptical, and believed the deity was lying to him. For his transgression, he died where he sat, playing his lute.

The queen then learned that the gods possessing her were the three great deities of the ocean surface, middle, and bottom. They instructed her to pay tribute to every deity of the heavens, earth, mountains, and water if she were to seek the promised land of wealth, as well as several other miscellaneous tasks. Completing all these tasks, she was granted the favor of the three ocean deities in the form of Kanju & Manju. A pair of divine gems that controlled the tides themselves. She raised an army and set sail across the ocean, conjuring a wave to carry the boats swiftly across the ocean. With her came the August Spirit, floating above her ships to protect them and embodying her feats of arms.

They reached the land of Shiragi and the wave continued, rolling over the land and carrying them deep into the middle of the country. Awed and intimidated by the show of force, he bent the knee without struggle, promising the kingdom’s riches in support of her, and presented her with a great treasure. The Seven Branched Sword, a blade with seven points that was forged from 100 hundred times hardened steel that’s use would route a hundred warriors. Accepting his surrender, she knocked against the gate, and dismissed the August Spirit to fly home. Beginning the journey home herself, she gave birth to Chūai’s child during the journey, and named him Ōjin.

Returning from her journey to Japan, she quickly and viciously dealt with a rebellion led by her half brothers. One was consumed by a giant boar sent by the August Spirit, and the other chose to drown himself after his armies were defeated. Retiring to reign as regent and raise her son until such a time she died, she lived to one hundred years of age before dying. Her son would have a prosperous reign after her, eventually being named a Kami, and far in the future, being deified as the war god Hachiman.

Personality: If one were to describe Jingu at a glance, the best words would simply be serious and stoic. A woman on a mission, she seems to constantly have a goal and is seeking to reach it. Frivolities are just distractions from said goal, and is something she does not put up with. As for what the goal actually is, more often than not it's simply appeasing the Kami. Of course, a lot of the time she doesn't exactly know what the Kami want, so she has to make an educated guess. The only frivolity she allows herself, is fishing.

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

Class Skills

Magic Resistance A: Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer".

Jingu lived in an age and a region where magic was still heavy in the air, as shown by how the very gods themselves spoke and interacted with her. She directly interacted with, and called upon, such magics. With her in the Saber class, it only makes sense for her to have a good rank of resistance to such things.

Riding C+: Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts. Jingu however gets a rank up when handling boats, on account of her naval accounts and the Blessing of Watatsumi skill.

Personal Skills

Blessing of Watatsumi A: The favor of the Dragon God of the Sea, this skill grants its owner a few perks. The ability to walk across a water's surface as if it were solid ground, without having to expend mana. When inside water itself, the owner gains increased agility and mobility. Finally, it grants the owner an innate understanding of how water acts. How it flows, how it pools, things of that nature.

In life, Jingu served as the vessel for three water deities, which all would eventually fuse into the singular Watatsumi. Even after they left her body, they granted her their favor and helped her by granting her Kanju & Manju. As a devoted worshipper of them, Jingu is freely given their blessing.

Shinto Rites C+: This skill marks the user as a practitioner of the Shinto religion, and a form of magecraft associated with it. Normally, this form of magecraft relies on using rituals and prayer to contact spirits to ask for blessings or assistance. However, as heroic spirits are spirits in of themselves, this function is no longer viable. This leaves the other aspect of the magecraft, the banishing of spirits. A very effective technique to use against other servants, it is capable of putting pressure on their very existence, or force them out of their physical form.

Jingu was a fervent practitioner of the earliest forms of Shinto while she was alive, and was deeply devout in her worship of the Kami. As such, she has been taught the various rites required to contact them and banish oni. In the form of a Saber, this skill has been heavily reduced. If she were summoned as a caster, she could potentially call upon divine spirits, or wipe a servant out of existence easily if they had no magic resistance.

Charisma B: Having B Rank in this Skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its King/Queen. The morale of military forces he or she commands is extremely high. It also allows the user to negate the Emergency Prerogative skill of enemies.

Empress Jingu took over after her husband's death and successfully led an invasion of another country. Though the victory is definitely attributed to her noble phantasm, it stands to reason she needed the charisma to even start such a monumental task. After returning, she managed to subdue a rebellion and then rule for several decades in relative peace.

Divinity B: is the measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels, one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit, and the level declines when the Heroic Spirit's own rank as a Monster or Demonic Beast rises. It can also decrease due to one's dislike for the gods. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. It can break through Skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig

Jingu in life served as the vessel for the three deities that would later fuse to become Watatsumi, even if only for a short period of time. After the death of herself and her son, he would eventually be posthumuously said to be the War God Hachiman. With his worship, his mother also became an object of worship, as a shrine to Hachiman commonly includes a shrine to her.

Noble Phantasms:

Name: Shichishitō
Title: The Seven-Branched Sword
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-20
Targets:100

“This blade is a trophy of my victory. The greatest weapon of Shiragi, they gave it without bloodshed. If they had no hope, what hope do you have before Shichishitō?”

Description: Shichishisto is a strange blade made of extremely high quality steel. At a length of eighty centimeters in total, the blade is made of a single central blade with separate blades sprouting out from the sides, alternating as they went. Each one ends in a sharp point, and the whole formation resembles a small tree. Two messages are engraved into the blade, one for each side, speaking of the blade's origins and the reason it was gifted away.

A mystic code forged from steel hardened one hundred times, it stands as one of the few noble phantasms that do not require invoking its true name for it to come into effect. Simply put, it is a vessel. Shinto Rites requires the user to be able to draw the spirit into the body to make full use of it. As a spirit, Jingu cannot do this. The seven branched sword however, is a blade of ceremony of which no one knows for certain. Regalia with no purpose. The perfect tool to serve as the home of the spirits she may call upon.

Name: Kanju & Manju
Title: The Tide-Ebbing Stone & The Tide-Flowing Stone
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Fortress
Range: 1-99
Targets: N/A

“Tides Ebb, Tides Flow. The ocean is vast, and oh so deep. Watatsumi, allow me to show them your beautiful domain! Crush them with the sea, Kanju and Manju!”

Description: Two pearls of pale blue material, they glow with an internal shifting light. The sound of breaking waves can be faintly heard if one listens closely to them, and upon closer inspection one can faintly make out the sight of churning water inside them. Set into rings of silver inscribed with the kanji for wind and wave, they’re the only jewelry she wears, one on each ring finger.

These two jewels are a legendary pair from Japanese mythology, used by the deities that would later condense into the singular Watatsumi, Dragon God of the Sea. Kanju would cause the tides to rece, and Manju would cause the tides to flow forth again. Together, they were meant to control the ocean’s tides completely. They were granted to Jingu for her devotion, and they serve as her greatest trump card.

They grant a limited control of water even without invoking their true name, allowing her to cause geyers of water and small waves to form from nothing with but a simple wave of her hand or flick of the wrist. Something she uses to great effect when combined with her Blessing of Watatsumi skill.

To use the jewels to their greatest effect requires a great deal of mana, and both her hands free. Invoking the true name of the gems allows her to take full control of the tides at a conceptual level for a time. With their true power, she carried an entire fleet deep inland to the middle of a country. Such power could wash an army away with ease in a vicious flood, or even grind a fortress to dust beneath a tsunami before sending the water used flowing back to the ocean. Leaving nothing behind.

True Name: William I the Conqueror



Sex: Female

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Attribute: Man

History: For whatever reason, she was remembered by history as a man named William, and her spouse as the woman named Matilda, when in reality their genders where reversed, with their names being Willa and Mattias respectively, although she doesn't seem to care, as long as she is not called 'the Bastard'.

Born in 1028 to duke of Normandy Robert I and his mistress, a woman of unclear background, according to most sources a daughter of a tanner, thus resulting in her being called 'the Bastard' for majority of her youth. Her father died when she was seven, and for the remainder of her youth, the Normandy descended into chaos as various nobles attempted to use their position as young Willa's guardian to secure their power before being murdered and replaced by yet another ambitious noble. Considering such tumultuous upbringing, Willa's revelation that only personal power matters was, perhaps, foregone conclusion.

In 1047, young Willa managed to secure at least some of her own power although only continued support of king of France Henry allowed her to remain in charge when some of her vassals rebelled, seemingly seeing their leader, Guy of Burgundy as better candidate for duke than illegitimate girl. Even after squashing the uprising, Willa would have to fight for the next thirteen years to fully assert her control over the Normandy. To help with that, she sought marriage with her third cousin, son of count of Flanders, Mattias. The young man was initially unimpressed with Willa's proposal on account of her illegitimate birth... until she beat him senseless for daring to bring the fact up, upon which point he became quite smitten, and from that point onward their marriage was reportedly quite loving and faithful.

By 1060, she would finally finish consolidating her hold over Normany and turned her eyes on the real prize, a kingdom of her own. Claiming that king of England promised her to be his heir back in 1051 and that the next most probable candidate, Harold Godwin, promised her his support during his exile, she was quite enraged when Edward the Confessor died, and instead of being gifted the throne, Harold proclaimed himself as the king. Harold Hardrada's similar proclamation of his attempt at kingdom of England at this point barely registered.

In 1066, as Godwin rushed north to fend off Norwegian attempts, Willa made her move, crossing the Channel and moving to Hastings, where she set base of operations and decided to wait for Harold's return (whichever Harold would) while raiding the surrounding countryside. On 14th October, 18 days after she landed, Harold Godwin returned and the two armies clashed in a battle lasting entire day. By the end, Harold was dead, precise cause unknown, and Willa was free to march on London to claim throne she has been waiting for for fifteen years. Even so, she spend the rest of her life consolidating her gains and squashing the resistance.

She died in 1087 when, after sieging Mantes, her horse reared up her against saddle pommel so forcefully that her intestines ruptured. An infection set in killing her after a few agonizing weeks.

Personality: A woman of contradictions. Cruel and greedy tyrant interested with obtaining more and more personal power, wealth and prestige, yet faithful, loyal woman, kind and generous to those who earn her affection. She tends to obsess over things she perceives as her 'right' and although she presents the visage of pious, chivalrous knight, should her heritage be insulted, she will drop the act and aim to inflict as much pain and suffering to repay the insult.

Class Skills

Independent Action: B
The ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from the Master. At the higher ranks, it is also possible to remain for extended periods of time in this world without an established contract. At his level, Archer is capable of remaining manifested without master for two days.

Magic Resistance: D
Protection against magical effects that cancels all magic below one verse. Having lived well into Age of Man and not possessing any particularly outstanding zealotry, Archer goes by with what was granted to her by her class.

Personal Skills

Mental Pollution: D+
Distorted mentality allowing for resisting mental interference at the cost of difficulty of coming to understanding with those, who are not similarly warped. Archer's entire life was ruled by pressing need to gather more power (whether monetary, military or political) and later in life by her greed. However, she is extremely pushy about her parentage (or more specifically, social position of his mother), and should someone insult it, she will fly into fit of rage that will most probably end with the person who insulted her either dead or wishing for it.

Eye of the Mind (True): B
Insight cultivated through training and experience allows for calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduces an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament..

Territory Fortification: A
The ability to rise defensive properties of existing structures in order to exert better control over a territory. In William’s case, the rank denotes her ability to quickly and efficiently enhance defensive properties of large numbers of structures in quick succession to a respectable level, although she is capable of further fortifying them into truly admirable hold-outs.

Riding: B
Ability to handle vehicles and ordinary mounts with above average skill.

Noble Phantasms:

Name: Hastings
Title: Blind Chance of Assured Victory
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 10-60
Targets: 1
Description:
Main Noble Phantasm of William when summoned under Archer class, a crystallization of the battle that assured her claim as king of England. More precisely it is a moment of battle when pretender Harold was killed (due to conflicting versions, this Noble Phantasm differs in form due to method that class acknowledges; as an Archer, it was an arrow to the eye).

It can be only activated when William has been fighting his enemy for prolonged time. Despite her class, Archer needs not to draw her bow to use it. She merely needs to proclaim the name of the battle that set her claim in stone.

Upon declaring its name, a lone arrow will be released at William's enemy and, should they fail a Luck check, they will be struck, depending on degree of failure, either into sensitive spot that is sure to at least eliminate them from the fighting for longer period of time, or into an eye, killing them immediately. Additionally, if Hastings is used withing area affected by Doomsday Book, upon killing enemy, all their magical energy will be transferred to William.

Name: Doomsday Book
Title: Legendary Record of Greed
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Country
Range: 99+
Targets: Self
Invocation/Summoning: As Lord’s Judgement, so is my Conquest inevitable. By my claim, nothing shall be withheld from Me!
Description:
Second Noble Phantasm of William the Conqueror in Archer class, an absolute survey of everything in the kingdom of England that was owned by William (or one of his vassals or subjects) for purposes of specifying exact value of lands for better taxation.

Doomsday Book allows William to learn precise coordinates of enemies within its range by surveying its pages, although Skills dealing with concealment can distort the readings to a point. Additionally, any structures affected purely by William’s Territory Fortification will be treated as part of the Kingdom of England, granting and denying fate boosts appropriately within the affected area. Particularly, any Servants with legends tied to England (such as, conveniently enough, William) will find their physical parameters boosted by one rank, while Servants who would normally benefit from their own fame boosts will find themselves stripped of them for the duration of their stay within William's territory should it be unrelated to England.

Name:Blenda Eldberg

Titles: Spreading Flame

Team: Blue



Sex:Female

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

History: Blenda comes from old magi family which nonetheless almost completely abandoned the Moonlit World, choosing to simply study the Nordic runes and promote the Scandinavian heritage relating to them in mundane society, believing that the slowly growing neopagan movements may help them with rediscovery of venerated Primordial Runes.

Blenda, on the other hand, saw it as abandoning their heritage after generations of failure and instead, chose to study magecraft at Clocktower, believing that modern runes were not much more than a cultural heritage, to be cherished, yes, but ultimately unsuited to accomplishing much. However, at the Clocktower, she was faced with elitism and derision of the magi society, and while she managed to graduate and obtain knowledge of more traditional magecraft, she was also utterly turned off of being part of that world.

Instead, she decided to put her abilities to practical use, to help make some positive change, or at least preserve the better parts of the past. For that reason, she became a mercenary, a spellcaster offering her services to people who dug around the world in search of ancient secrets hoping she would find her answers in the long forgotten ruins. Suffice to say, no answers were forthcoming, and while she was not quite ready to give up yet and return with head held low in admission of defeat, she came to a realization that the only way to truly bring her family back from its torpor was almost certainly lying in the distant the past.

Disquieted, Blenda stepped away from her work, intent on contemplating her life and the direction it would take. It was at those crossroads that a rumour reached her. A rumour of a ritual that could reverse the fate of the world. She didn't give it much thought, at the beginning. There were many attempts at grand rituals, and few succeeded, and from those, even fewer delivered exactly as promised. And yet, there was a disquiet. Mercenaries hired to hunt down relics across the world. In the face of such a trail, and perhaps hoping to postpone a decision that would irreversibly change her life, Blenda threw herself into investigation, tracking down rumour and hearsay, mingling with other spellcasters to exchange gossip, and slowly, breadcrumb after breadcrumb, she found her way to Turkey, where the gathering was held to return the world to the age of the past glories, against the wishes of the Clocktower.

An opportunity of a lifetime, one she has been waiting for. Blenda decided that this ritual, the Holy Grail War was the gamble she has been seeking her entire life. It was victory, and return to the age where her family's dream was possible, or defeat and either death or the end of her dream.

Personality: Professional yet thrill seeking, Blenda prefers to live in the moment than worry about future. She likes daring gambits over careful planning but considers just rushing head on without any preparation to be suicidal. Having seen her fair share of the rotten side of the Moonlit World, she privately considers that the world would be better off without the whole masquerade business, if only because mundanes would actually know what is happening around them instead of stumbling in the dark upon dirty dealings. Still, she knows that won't be happening any time soon, so she took it upon herself to make sure to keep them well away from the trouble before starting her work.

Armaments & Fighting Style:

• An ornate bow of gold: though Berserker is proficient with it, he is no match for an Archer.
• The meteoric dagger: a gift sent from the heavens, yet it's true power appears to be sealed.
• Berserker's preferred fighting style changes as his madness increases. Ideally he would not see combat at all, as he is a weak existence. With his mind intact he prefers to fight at a distance with his bow and magecraft, supporting a thought out strategy. As his Spirit Origin is devoured, he shifts into a close range fighter, lashing out with his dagger and fists to experience death firsthand. He uses his Noble Phantasm to survive and counter heavy blows.

Parameters:

Class Skills:

• Mad Enhancement EX
  • The class skill of Berserker. As the Pharaoh's Curse takes over his Saint Graph over the course of the war, the rank of Mad Enhancement itself will increase appropriately. It's base rank is equivalent to D+, and boosts only his STR and END by one rank (already reflected). As the rank increases, each of his parameters see an increase. When an enemy specifically makes a slight against Egyptian Pantheon which Berserker worked so hard to restore in life, the ranks of Mad Enhancement are further increased by one more when engaging said enemy.

Personal Skills:

• Cursed Body A
  • A skill that both helps and harms Berserker. Cursed Body makes it so that any spells that can be considered 'curses' have no effect on Berserker. If he is so inclined, Berserker can consume the curse (transforming it into mana) or counter it with his own. On the flip side, this skill also represents the binding of the 'Pharaoh's Curse' to Berserker's legend, a source of dismay for him. Eventually the curse will completely take over his body and spirit, increasing his madness.
• Divinity C
  • A pharaoh presides over both man and gods, and are considered the offspring or reincarnation of gods themselves. In his purest form Berserker would have had a higher rank of this skill as the "incarnation of Amun", but his corrupted legend along with his father's destruction of the Pharaoh's legacy has decreased it. Divinity makes it possible to break through skills that grant divine protection.
• Egyptian Magecraft D+
  
  • As a frail child king, Berserker was instructed by his court mages in the ways of dark magecraft. In life Berserker was very skilled with magecraft, but as a "servant of rage" it's rank is significantly lowered. Ironically, or perhaps not, he is proficient with curses. When handling a certain Noble Phantasm of his, he is better able to focus on magic and sees a slight boost.

Noble Phantasms:

Class: Rider
True Name: Sir John Hawkwood
Sex: Male
Appearance:


Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Attribute: Man
Team: __________

History: Born a commoner in England in the early 1300s, John Hawkwood rose to prominence in the early days of the Hundred Years War as a mercenary. At a relatively young age he had already become captain of the White Company, a band of English men-at-arms in northern France, and many say he was knighted by the Black Prince himself after the Battle of Poitiers; shortly thereafter the Company traveled to Italy, and began to take service with the various Italian cities. It was here that Hawkwood earned his fame; playing one city against another time and time again, the man the Italians knew as 'John Sharp' waged war under half a dozen banners and walked away with another fortune after every campaign. Though the size of his company fluctuated with the years, Hawkwood's keen sense of strategy and uncanny financial instincts ensured they were never on the losing side for long and that they always received a sizeable payday whenever they took the field, whether they earned it by crushing their employers' enemies on the battlefield or they were bribed in order not to fight.

Unlike virtually all mercenaries, Hawkwood did not fall in battle. After leading the most famous company of the age for nearly forty years, he finally died peacefully in one of several rich villas he had purchased with his vast fortune, and was given a state funeral by his last employer, the City of Florence.

Personality: Hawkwood is charming, upbeat, highly articulate and well-educated, an excellent person to hold a long conversation with. He keeps himself amply supplied with the finer things in life - high-quality clothes, food, furnishings, and other creature comforts. Beneath his pleasant demeanor, however, he is a mercilessly self-interested man. Very few people are capable of gaining true affection from John Hawkwood; nearly all of his relationships are the result of a cold-blooded calculation of profit and risk, and in most cases he would slit a 'friend's' throat with a smile if he were to receive a tempting enough offer. To Hawkwood, questions of life and death have almost no moral dimension; his own profit is of paramount importance, far more than honor or virtue. Whether he keeps or breaks a particular pledge is merely a question of business sense.

Armaments
Hawkwood typically fights from horseback in 'white armor'; an elaborate suit of plate in the Italian style. The armor includes a full-face hounskull bascinet with aventail, cuirass, faulds, tassets, fully-articulated arm and leg guards and sabatons, with mail layered beneath the joints. It is worn without any identifying marks or heraldry. His horse, likewise, is barded in undecorated plate and chain.

In battle Hawkwood goes armed with the traditional knightly weapons of lance, long sword, and rondel dagger - though if he expects to fight on foot, he may instead wield a pollaxe and exchange his sabatons for boots.

Abilities

Str: C
End: C
Agi: B
Mgc: C
Lck: A

Riding: C
Hawkwood’s soldiers moved mounted to maximize strategic speed, and Hawkwood personally led more than one famous cavalry charge from atop a mighty destrier. However, Hawkwood is not associated with any particular legendary mount, and does not have the ability to ride magical creatures; he is simply a skilled rider of normal mounts, particularly horses.

Magic Resistance: D.
As one who lived in a ‘recent’ time when magic was uncommon, Hawkwood has no particular ability to resist magecraft beyond that conferred by his container.

Personal Abilities

Nature of a Rebellious Spirit: C
As the perfect ideal of a mercenary, it is virtually impossible to bind or dominate Hawkwood entirely. His very nature is to be self-interested and driven by profit rather than true loyalty to a master. At this rank he will not commit treason wantonly or without good reason, but if someone makes him a better offer . . .

Golden Rule: B
In an age when the average person rarely saw more than a few coins Hawkwood’s mercenary exploits made him famously wealthy, including once being paid 130,000 gold florins by the city of Tuscany just to persuade him not to attack. As such, Hawkwood is never found to be without money, luxuries, or valuable items, and all his possessions and harness are of the highest quality.

Ambuscade: C+
The skill of a warlord who fights by subterfuge and misdirection, disdaining honorable combat to crush the enemy from ambush. This skill functions as a variant of Presence Concealment - while the enemy can detect Hawkwood's presence, they cannot determine his true location with any accuracy. In addition, he gains a significant combat bonus when attacking by surprise or from a flank.

War For Profit: A
A mercenary fights not for honor or principles but for profit, robbing their enemies and plundering the battlefield in order to improve their own station. As the legendary 'unsurpassed mercenary captain', Hawkwood's strength grows steadily as he fights at the cost of everything else around him. This skill passively draws magical energy from Hawkwood's surroundings and transmutes it to strengthen him; any enemies nearby will find their parameters and health gradually decreasing, while Hawkwood's own power and vitality increase in direct proportion to the amount of magical energy he steals. Furthermore destroying an enemy in battle allows Hawkwood to claim a portion of their power, much as the men-at-arms of the 14th century would take a defeated knight's warhorse and harness as prizes; this provides a significant additional increase any time Hawkwood kills another Servant, and a small increase for killing any enemy.

Noble Phantasm

Carne!
Sweep Them Away, White Company
Rank: C-B+
NP Type: Anti-Army
Range: 30
Maximum Targets: 100

The battle that crystallizes John Hawkwood's military legend; at the fields of Castagnaro, after baiting the army of Verona into a rash attack on his infantry line, Hawkwood leads his hidden men-at-arms out of a patch of woods to their flank. He casts his commander's baton into the ranks of the opposing army, ordering his troops to fetch it back for him, and with the war-cry 'Carne!' - Flesh! - the elite condottiere of the White Company, though outnumbered twenty to one, destroy the enemy in a single devastating charge.

When activated, Carne! calls forth the spirits of six hundred knights of the White Company in mid-charge, lances already leveled as they burst out of cover and fiercely assault every enemy within range - each one striking with enough force to threaten even a Heroic Spirit. It is a charge meant to be the 'decisive blow' of a battle, a sudden and unexpected onslaught that will shatter the enemy force and rout them from the field. If Rider is detected before he can order the charge, a very swift enemy might escape damage by fleeing before the incoming ranks of horsemen; however, if the charge is launched from ambush, it is guaranteed to hit and inflict even more devastating damage.

Thorn Iarainn
(The Blood-Stained Rose that Never Wilts)
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: ~~
Targets: 1
Description: Saber's primary weapon, his sword, Thorn Iarainn, or "Iron Thorn". A weapon forged sometime after leaving Scáthach's tutelage, it was meant to be a counter to his Battle Brother's Gae Bolg, an Ultimate Shield for the Ultimate Spear. In its sealed form, it resembles a simple sword, dark blue in color, with a rose shaped guard. In this form it is nothing more than a simple blade.

When the Noble Phantasm's True Name is invoked by Saber, he plunges the blade into his heart as crimson veins of energy spread throughout his body, as it turns a dark, metallic color. In this second form, Saber resembles a living suit of armor, all black except for crimson veins that crisscross his body like glowing vines. His eyes are a solid, pale blue while his hair appears like glowing tendrils of bloody-red light.

Once activated, Saber's physical Parameters of Strength, Endurance, and Agility are all greatly enhanced, while any damage he suffers is reduced by half. However, this form possesses a single weakness: The center of his chest, where the blade pierced his heart is left vulnerable, a pulsing seed that spread it's roots throughout Saber's body, this spot has become his "Achilles Heel", with all that the title entails.

It should be noted, that activating this Noble Phantasm is NOT lethal towards Saber, and he can reform his sword and return to his base form whenever he or his Master wishes.

Name: Christina Iliianos Herphae

Team: Red Team



Sex: Female

Alignment: Chaotic Good

History: The Herphae family is a long and storied one, with their roots reaching back into antiquity. Originally priests and priestesses of Hephaestus in Ancient Greece, the family has survived and endured even past the departure of their chosen deity. Through the Roman and Byzantine empires and even into the modern age, they have been there, in their ancestral home on the island of Lemnos.

In the wider world of magecraft, they are a well respected but reclusive family. Active only in the Creation department of the Clocktower, the family’s reputation as master smiths provides their only means of relevancy. It is not uncommon for other magus families to request custom commissions from Herphae, and depending on the difficulty of the item in question, it can cost an extremely high amount.

It is to this family that Christina was born. As one of the family head’s children, there was fierce competition between them all to be named the heir. As they all were taught the very basics, the children each started developing their own styles. Some focused their craft on pure pragmatism, creating ugly creations that were effective in what they did. Some focused on the aesthetics, sacrificing the creations effectiveness in exchange for pleasant visuals. A few such as Christina, tried to find the balance of maximum effectiveness, while also having a pleasant form.

As time went on, children were eliminated as options to be the heir. Some were relegated to arranged marriages with other families, but many were simply made into lesser smiths, destined to serve the family by fulfilling commissions the family received. By the time Christina was at the precipice of adulthood, only one other sibling remained as competition. As such, as they both became adults, the final test was placed on them. The creation of their maidens.

Following the footsteps of their ancient patron Hephaestus, the two siblings went to their respective workshops and set to work. Billows stoked the forges flames high, hammers pounded metal into shape, and gears and mechanisms were carefully interlocked together. For Christina, the entire process quickly became something different. She was not making something, she was giving birth to someone. The forge was her womb and from it would be born a child. It took a week for her brother to craft his maiden from pure gold. It took her two pain-staking weeks of careful work to finish her maiden.

When they were called together for their creations to be judged, the differences were plain to see. Her brother had crafted a woman of pure gold, carved into a life-like visage with exquisite detail. Each hair was made of an individual golden thread, and layer after layer of enchantment was laid into the creation to strengthen it. It moved as if it were truly alive, calmly following behind its creator with its hands tucked in front of it. When asked its name, her brother confidently said it was Helen, after the beautiful princess of the Trojan War.

Her creation was beautiful, but not the life-like masterwork of her brother. Where almost all the joints of articulation were next to invisible on Helen, they were plain to the naked eye. Its features were stiff, moving awkwardly about its finely crafted face. Where one was crafted entirely of pure gold, one was created of hard steel and decorated with copper. Where one moved with incredible ease, the other moved with awkward, hesitant steps. And when asked its name, she took a nervous step forward in front of Christina and spoke for herself. “I am Thaleia, daughter of Hephaestus.”

It was obvious who had passed the test. Christina was named heir, and celebrated with Thaelia. Life moved on from there as expected, with her teaching the newly ‘born’ maiden about the things she forgot to include in the first place. As some years passed, the head of the family passed away from a smithing accident, and she was named head. The family crest was implanted into her hands, and she assumed control of the family completely.

The Holy Grail was an unexpected turn of events, happening almost directly on the family’s doorstep. As the closest major family to the site the war would be taking place on, it only made sense for them to become involved. Aiding in such a war would increase the family’s prestige for sure, and Christina was all for growing the family’s reputation.

Personality: Her personality is to put simply, very simple. Christina is a friendly enough person to most people, but rather impatient in social situations. Time spent talking is time that could be spent in her workshop, working with Thaelia on something, or working on Thaelia. The only person she could never run out of patience for is Thaelia, even though the maiden has tested that on occasion. Not her fault she has so many questions about so many things.

Elemental Affinity: Earth / Fire

Attribute: Reinforcement / Flow / Transference of Power

Magecraft:
General Magecraft: As a part of her education as the head of the Herphae family, she has been taught all the basics of magecraft that are expected in modern magus society. She’s not particularly skilled in any of these aspects, having neglected them in favor of focusing on the family tradition.

Smithing: The heart and soul of the Herphae family magecraft lies in their metallurgy. A subsect of general alchemy based entirely in the use and shaping of metals. Their family takes it one step further, focusing almost entirely on the creation of objects from metal. This has two primary effects, allowing for the creation of advanced familiars as well as mystic codes. The family’s skill in the crafting of mystic codes is well known, and they have amassed a small fortune from selling their crafts to other families.

Familiars: The Herphae family has a fairly long tradition of creating familiars for personal use, as inspired by their patron deity Hephaestus. Rather than shaping flesh or molding stone, the familiars are forged by the magus. The speed of creation is a drawback, but there are benefits that come from this. The familiars tend to be sturdier than average, and can carry additional traits depending on what the forger desires and what metals are used.

Mystic Codes:
Thaleia: In legend, Hephaestus did not work alone. Besides the various beings he enlisted to aid him, there were those he personally created to be his assistants. Maidens forged of the purest gold, to serve as his attendants and aid him in day to day life. The Herphae family seeks to always follow his example, and as such, have a tradition. One is not truly ready to lead the family lest they can follow such an example, and create life in a similar way.

Thaleia, is Christina’s maiden. The peak of Christina’s efforts, she stands as something between a homunculus and a mystic code. Measuring a solid six feet in height, her skin is made of various sections of steel, with the decorations made of shining copper. Her eyes and midsection glow a bright blue, representative of the complex system inside her to capture pass mana from her surroundings to sustain her.

In comparison to the more simplistic designs others of the family have used in the past, Christina has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on making Thaleia into something truly magnificent. The metal that makes up her body has been reinforced, her fingers end in razor sharp nails that she has enough control over to pluck a single hair from a person's head, and her false skirt ends in a series of blades sharp enough to cut through steel. Hidden away in her wrists are rotating cylinders, with multiple pipes made of different metals and enchanted to produce different effects when mana is passed through them. Sometimes you just need to freeze or ignite something.

Inside her mechanical head resides much of the knowledge Christina has learned over the years. Many of her smithing techniques have been taught to Thaleia, as well as general knowledge. After all, she is something of a daughter to Christina. What mother would not want to teach her daughter about the world?

Aegis Ankilos: Being the head of Herphae has its benefits. This includes being able to splurge on mystic codes for herself using the houses resources. Thus she created Aegis Ankilos for herself, as a just in case measure. Thaleia is good in a fight, but what if enough people attack them that she can't stop them all from reaching her? Gotta have some protection for herself.

Aegis Ankilos in its inert form takes the shape of a large belt buckle, featuring the family symbol of two hammers and a helm on it. When activated, the mystic code comes unattached and flattens itself out, forming a perfect domed disk around two feet in diameter. Created from iron with engravings of alchemical symbols done in quicksilver along its edges and gold in its middle, it meant for exactly what its name implies. It can be securely attached to her wrist, and used as a shield sturdy enough to tank a .50 caliber round head on.

Chéri Fotiá: Every craftsman needs their tools, and the Herphae pride themselves in having tools of the highest quality. More often than not each member of the family creates their own set of tools, so that they're specific to their own styles. Christina was no different, and has created a wide array of tools, some mystic codes some not, to aid in her projects. Chéri Fotiá though, is her favorite. And the one she's most likely to simply keep on her person.

At first glance, Chéri Fotiá is simply a fancy hammer. Iron shaft and head, with engravings etched into it done in a mixture of quicksilver and lead. Any alchemist could tell you why it is made in such that way though, and what it's function most likely is. Iron representing growth and strength, with lead and quicksilver being representative of transformation. It is a tool specifically made to aid in the forging of material. To help whatever creation she is making grow, to transform the base metal into something awe-inspiring.

But that is not all the hammer has. At the activation phrase, it morphs. Primarily the handle just extends to afford her a longer grip, but on a thaumaturgical level, there is also a shift. Iron still represents strength, but now also aggression. The lead and quicksilver, once representing transformation, now represents death. In other words, it becomes a battle hammer meant to bludgeon someone's head in with great effectiveness!

Non-Magecraft Abilities: Christina has been trained in Palé, ancient greek wrestling techniques. Primarily as a self defense mechanism if absolutely necessary. She’s got a mean right hook.

Item Creation [Rank D++]

• Within the context of her legend, Arachne did not create any items within her lifetime that were not woven. As such, any magical items she create are of a low level, but her weaving skill makes the quality of any woven or cloth based magical items skyrocket.

Territory Creation [Rank B]

• Like a spider, Caster can make any location a home for her and her Master; building it with her webs and using her illusions to hide traps from all but the most discerning eye.

Unrivaled Weaving [Rank A]

• Due in part to her skill, amplified by her legend, Caster’s webs can be woven into grand illusions that can alter reality and perception itself to her whim. If she weaves a tapestry of a sword, then said sword may be drawn free of the tapestry as if it were merely sheathed. If she weaves a building it will grow from her tapestry like a great oak from a seedlings. In this way, she is able, still, to challenge Gods. This is in essence her combat magic, so potent in its efficiency that it is capable of enhancing her Item Creation skill with a conditional bonus based on the item’s construction type. Woven items are hollow when not created using Item Creation, making them one-use powerful tools
  
  This functions as the Skill [Illusionism].

The Careless Broodmother [Rank EX]

• By Athena, Caster was cursed to suffer her rebirth as the First Spider, and, as punishment for her carelessness, so, too, were all her descendants beyond her, until the very last. As such, all natural spiders of this world harken back to Caster, and this skill transforms ordinary spiders within a limited range of her -- typically, two to three miles while awake, and one while resting -- into Familiars; inherently seeking to serve their Broodmother; acting as eyes and ears, spinning and spread web in her name, and delivering Mana to her.

Distaff Dexterity [Rank B]

• While no longer certifiably human, Caster’s fingers remember the motions of her distaffs, and well. Each finger is able to soar beyond the sight of eyes, and weave a blanket-like tapestry in mere seconds regardless of design.
  
  This functions as the Skill [Rapid Casting].

Mental Pollution [Rank B]

• Life and Death; Death and Rebirth; In-between, traumas. Due to her curse and her summoning, Caster has both the mind of a human and that of a spider in constant flux for control. It is hard to mentally attack her, but equally hard for the woman to stay in complete control of the spider.

Anti-Self
0 Range
Self-target

Nevermore meant to be human, Caster reveals her true nature, and sheds the last of her gifted humanity; her lower half splits apart, and reveals a spider body that raises Caster like an eight-legged centaur, and unbinds her from her mortal grip. This Noble Phantasm provides great power at great cost, and can only be undone by convincing Caster to remake her spider half human again or by force of Command Seal.

While in such a monstrous state, the spiders that heed her become equally as monstrous, transforming into beasts as large as the typical housecat, and far more aggressive. Seeking only to aid, they will hunt and capture prey for Caster to feed on.

Magic Circuits Quality: [Rank C]
Magic Circuits Quantity: [Rank D]
Magical Affinity: Wind Magic
Attribute: Reinforcement, Enhancement, Synchronicity


Blink Step

• By reinforcing her legs and enhancing her body with Wind Magic, Valley can seemingly “blink” forwards, as if teleporting, a short range. This cannot phase her through solid objects or magic barriers, however, due to being a product of Wind Magic, Valley can create “steps” upon the air, and create a stable platform to blink off at-will. This is derived from generations of attempts to recreate Arsene Lupin’s original Teleportation Spell.

Forewarned Is Forearmed

• In essence, this spell is a Bounded Field fashioned by the hidden placement of her calling cards that functions as a Precognition Spell. Inside, it begins to record and analyze any and all movement, and can predict movements based on pattern-recognition. The longer this Bounded Field is in effect, the more accurate Valley can predict what will happen within.

Arsene Lupin was a Magus before he became a Phantom Thief, and stained his bloodline black with the greens and yellows of money and gold. As such, he owned a grimoire of his own design. In his case, it was designed as a single, engraved piece of stationary that bore his name, quite proudly.

Inside, its pages were filled with generations of planned heists and their successes -- not a one claiming the wealth of aristocrazy, but the might of some of the highest profile magical families known. Arsene Lupin was a thief that stole, not material gain, but the immaterial, as he robbed Mystic Codes, and folded them into his family’s bloodright or their future coffers. As each page containing what was once private, now made quite public by his misdeeds for profit.

However, some remain behind -- names changed -- known as the Phantom Thief Codes.

In its current state. it should serve as a catalyst to summon Arsene Lupin as a Servant, but, instead, it serves as it always has: the Grimoire of a Lupin. Each page, seemingly in infinite supply, can be detached and used as a Calling Card to cast stolen spells or set up their family’s Bounded Field.


Masquerade Mask:

• A Mystic Code that replicates the Mystic Eyes of Deceit. By adorning this Mystic Code, its effect is immediate to its brilliant gold eyes, and can see through “that which deceives,” allowing Valley to reverse lies; unlocking any manner of locked doors, sussing the truth from even magically-reinforced liars, and other such things.

Binding Blouse:

• A Mystic Code that offers increased durability by passively reinforcing and enhancing Valley’s Wind Magic to create a skin-tight layer of ever-moving winds that can deflect all non-magical projectiles and weapon blows, and even deflect some magical blasts, like Gandr.

Slipstream Stockings:

• A Mystic Code that is a combination of stockings and heels that, much like the Binding Blouse, passively reinforces and enhances Valley’s Wind Magic, reducing the pressure and impact of her Blink Step, allowing for successive uses without physical damage to her legs and feet.

Mana Battery Belt:

• A Mystic Code that is a belt that assists in offsetting Vallet’s rather low Magic Circuit stats by regulating her Od through itself and two absorbent jewels that functions as emergency sources of it. The sashes that hang off the belt absorb Prana passively, which become acclimated to Valley’s Od and stored within the sink-jewels.

Celsius and Fahrenheit:

• A pair of Mystic Codes designed to be used in conjunction with each other, and, more importantly, tailor-made for those with an Affinity for Wind. The right hand, Fahrenheit, super-heats the air immediately around itself, and uses wind to project flames that can be forged into spheres and streams. The left hand, Celsius, flash-freezes the air immediately around itself, and uses wind to propel frost that can be forced into streams and spears.

Eye-catching Overcoat:

• Valley’s final Mystic Code that is hopeless, matte white on the outside, and an almost alien and lustrous blue on the inside. It is reversible, and when reversed, the blue disorients those observing it, temporarily, and gives Valley the chance to vanish or attack in defense.

Parkour

• Valley is a skilled free-runner; able to vault, scale, and climb all but the most sheer of surfaces.

Quick Study

• Committing elaborate crimes requires a quick understanding of what's in store, starting with planning and ending with the fence.

Self-defense Training

• Valley has, while not complete mastery, a high-degree of skill in most martial arts on par with a competitive MMA fighter.

Class Skills
Madness Enhancement: A
The skill that makes the Berserker Class. At the cost of one's mental capacities or sense of reason the Servant is able to increase their physical parameters to a significant degree. As a spirit of Insanity and Destruction, Berserker possesses one of the highest rankings in the skill, and as such, receives a Rank-Up in all parameters when the skill is active, but loses the vast majority of his reason as a result.

Personal Skills
Cannibal King: B
A skill that increases the energy gain from consuming humans. In legends, the Wendigo was said to constantly be in search of new victims to devour, growing larger and stronger with every successful feeding. At the current rank, Berserker gains a massive boost in energy received from devouring the hearts, flesh, and blood of humans. While normally only the hearts of Magi would provide any significant gain, Berserker receives the equivalent energy of consuming a High-Tier Magus from any Magus or magical being consumed. The consumption of mundane humans provides energy equivalent to that of a weak, low generation Magus.
Winds of Winter: B
The Wendigo was said to be a not only a monster, but a sorcerer of great power as well. As a Berserker class Servant, much of those powers and magicks have been sealed away, however as a Spirit of Winter's harsh embrace and the Wendigo's supposed ability to manipulate the weather and the storm, this skill was born. An aura of frost and cold follows Berserker wherever he goes, freezing water and withering plants wherever he goes should he not actively restrain the skill's power.

It can be used in manner similar to the "Mana Burst" skill, allowing Berserker to coat his weapons and body in other worldly ice, both to enhance his attacks, and to protect himself from harm.
Skinwalker: D
The Wendigo was supposedly a Shapeshifter of not inconsiderable skill and ability. Gifted with the power to take the shape of any it devoured, as the ability was a result of magical knowledge, the Skill's potency has degraded. As such, Berserker can only mimic the voices of those he kills, to better lure away the unwary and the grieving for his feasts.
Monstrous Strength: A
The ability to temporarily Rank-Up one's Strength parameter, the Skill is the result of the Servant's nature as a monster or Demonic Beast. At the current rank, not only can Berserker temporarily increase his physical power, he is also able to shift into his more monstrous Wendigo form, to better combat his enemies and bring fear to hearts of their Masters.


Noble Phantasm
Bloody Winter
(The Devil's Frozen Hunting Ground)
Rank: B
Type: Reality Marble/Anti-Army
Range: 99
Targets: 100
A Noble Phantasm encapsulating the land held in terror of Berserker's legend. When activated the Reality Marble takes the form of a massive storm of wind and snow spreading outwards from Berserker's position. Where once terrain of any shape or size could be found, now only a desolate forest in the grips of a demonic winter remains. Half-Buried skeletons and shattered bits of old bone litter the landscape, white snow and trees of the blackest ebony surround the intended victims, with the only color in sight being splashes of crimson heart's blood.

Within the forest, the challenge is survival. Like a maze of legend the trees and path ways seem to constantly twist and turn, leading in near-endless circles. The very air is chilling and frozen, such that merely breathing is a painful experience, every breath taken filling the lungs with the sharp, stabbing feel of northern ice. An aura of madness infects the land, and feelings of paranoia and betrayal are quick to fester and grow, till even the closest of friends and family lash out at one another.

The snow and trees are a hindrance to movement, able to bog down even the most well prepared of armies, and yet Berserker flits across the land like an master skater flies across a frozen lake, almost gliding over the frozen landscape with speed and elegance that very few would ever expect.

Wendigo
(The Demon that Devours All Creation)
Rank: C+
Type: Anti-Army/Summon
Range: 1~15
Targets: 1~6
The dark curse of hunger, the Wendigo's demonic spirit. This Noble Phantasm allows Berserker to call forth his lesser kin. A number of Windigoag spirits (The exact number depending on his Master's magical energy) are summoned to the Alpha's side in order to hunt and feast. While incredibly weak and easily destroyed initially, with every victim killed and devoured the spirits will grow in power, becoming more and more corporeal until they are effectively independent manifestations capable of existing without the aid Berserker's Noble Phantasm.

This Noble Phantasm is meant to be used in conjunction with Berserker's other Noble Phantasm, "Bloody Winter" against either a large, enemy army or Army Type summon, or a large group of enemy Servants. Once sufficiently fed, the Wendigoag possess power comparable to a lesser ranked Servant with the following Parameters: STR: D, AGI: D, END: D, MANA: E, LCK: E.
