1. Respect other players, and the GMs.
2. If a dispute occurs between two or more players during an IC confrontation, the GMs will be the final verdict on the outcome.
3. Try to 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, notify the GMs first.

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.
Multiple applications for each are permitted, but only one will be accepted for each. It is not required to play one of each, but is encouraged.
Do not put your application in the characters tab until it is accepted, instead, post the character in the OOC section. We will give informal advice and discuss any potential problems over discord, and will formally PM required changes in batches. Once these changes are made, the character can be posted to the Characters tab.

Servant Applications - Gilgamesh and Herakles are banned. Anyone born after 1901 is ineligible. Anyone who can be considered to predate Gilgamesh, such as antediluvians or parts of a creation myth, will be subject to high scrutiny.
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.

Master Applications - Matou Zouken and Emiya Shirou are banned. Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia is dead. 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. If you need help with this or want ideas, talk to the gms.

Parings - Pairings will only be noted when both characters are accepted and both players confirm the pairing. Please tag the GMs to notify them when this happens, even if the characters haven’t been accepted yet.
For the purposes of fairness, please keep the discussions about establishing pairings as public as possible, since it can be frustrating for people to think most pairs are free only to find out they’ve been talking in PMs for a while already.

Character Caps - Playing characters from the founding families (Matou, Einzbern and Tohsaka) is permitted, but there will be a hard cap on two characters per family, and two characters from the same family may require some backstory alterations to work. Extra Servant classes (Avenger, Shielder, and Faker) will be soft capped at 1 each, while Standard Servant classes will be soft capped at 3 each. These soft caps are subject to increasing in the case of large player turnout.

Class: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker or Assassin are the main classes. As more uncommon classes, Avenger, Shielder, and Faker are allowed.

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 as the family grows. 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: Saber

True Name: Alfred the Great

Appearance:


Sex: Male

Alignment: Lawful Good.

Attribute: Man.

History: The King who laid the foundations of English glory, Alfred the Great was well-known as a wise and humane ruler who repeated the achievements attributed to King Arthur, such as driving out foreign invaders, establishing peace and prosperity, and encouraging the spread of literacy and learning, all the while recognizing that the strength of England lay in mastery over the sea, a mastery which he tried to wrestle from the Viking invaders. A friend of the Welsh Monk and Scholar Asser, he helped lighten tensions between the Anglo-Saxons and the Brythonic peoples which once peopled the Isle of Britain for a generation, earning the respect of both. Oh, and he also burned an old woman's wheat cakes by accident.

All these achievements (except perhaps for the cake-burning) were true. What was also true was that in his reign, the last magic from the Age of Gods in Great Britain was drained away... And this was by his hand. For to drive away from the Vikings, who called on their Gods to rain lightning and thunder, storm and snow, he worked with the Holy Church to forge two swords, a cursed blade which drained Mana/Magical Energy from the enemy and sent it to the Reverse Side of the World, and a blessed sword which slew only those with inhuman or divine blood... Including his own, due to his heritage from the god Wotan/Odin, one of the 'False Gods' worshipped by the Vikings.

He lived a full life, with neither of his blades turned against him, nor did he suffer betrayals from his family or those who had cause to resent the results of his actions. For his' was a case where a hero was not only genuinely virtuous and heroic but also lived his happily-ever-after.

Personality: Alfred is unrealistically kind, smart, and compassionate, even towards his enemies, to the point where it seems unsettling. When his bravery and wisdom is included in the mix, he seems like the King everyone wanted to rebel against because 'He's too perfect'. But look deeply enough and one realizes that he does cry and feel joy and has loves other than his duty to Kingship, and he can be a goofball when confronted with the prospect of new knowledge. Despite his looks, he also tends to act like a father to anyone who lets him treat them like his children, and like a good father, he takes a high interest in their welfare and education, hoping to bring out the best they can be. In short, he is a man of moderation and temperance who balances out being a King with being a Human, and would have words with Artoria and Iskander if he ever met them.

Parameters:

Strength: B
Agility: A
Endurance:C-
Mana: C
Luck: A (Hey, he got a happily ever after, right?)

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".

You don't commission a sword which drains Mana and get away with it without getting a boost to your ability to resist Magic in your next life...

Riding (C) - One can flawlessly manage beasts and vehicles if they have received the proper training and adjustments. Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above-average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.

There are few legends of Alfred riding anything, and Anglo-Saxons were not known for being cavalry. They did ride horses, but dismounted from them when it was time to fight...

Personal Skills

Weak Constitution (C): A weakness struck by the nature of frail health. Similar in nature to Innocent Monster, where the perception of the people in the future affects the existence of the Heroic Spirit.

And by that, Alfred had Chrons' Disease in his lifetime and succumbed to it eventually (although otherwise, his life was happy). This means that every other posting round, he risks his Endurance dropping by one rank.

Divinity (C-): Alfred is allegedly descended from Wotan/Odin, but he freely disregards this trait of his' because he is a pious follower of the Church.

Bravery (B): At this rank, the threat of overwhelming force does not faze Alfred the Great, who can resist mental interference effects of this rank (note that Magic Resistance already negates most such attempts to interfere with the workings of his brain), but more importantly, it increases the Melee Damage he inflicts.

Tactics (C+): Provides a bonus against Anti-Army Noble Phantasms, and this modifier is increased when waging a guerilla war or a defensive battle against overwhelming odds.

Charisma (B+): A composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. As Alfred made friends with the Welsh and soothed over their greivances with the Anglo-Saxons during his lifetime, persuaded Gurthum to convert to Christianity and ally with him after his victory at Edington, he thus gains a rank up when he tries to turn an enemy to a friend or reach out to someone who should be his enemy.

Noble Phantasms:

Name: Witchbane
Title: Sword which drains Magic
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-Mana
Range: 1 - 10
Targets: 1 - 15
Description: When thrust into a Magus, a Phantasmal Beast, or another Servant, Witchbane drains the Mana from the target and sends it to the Reverse Side of the World, thus saving Alfred from the risks of absorbing too much magical energy. It can also siphon away the magical energy used by Noble Phantasms which rely on blatantly magical attacks...

Name: Devil-slayer
Title: Sword of the Church
Rank: C+
Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1
Targets: 1 - 5 (if the sword is swung widely enough)
Description: Devil-slayer is a sword made by the Holy Church to smite the Vikings and their False Gods and those who claim descent from them, and can thus inflict burning wounds on those with nonhuman heritage and even those with divine lineage...

Name: Happily Ever After
Title: Crystallization of Implausible Happiness
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1 - 70 (or whatever the size of Fuyuki City is)
Targets: 1 - 150
Description: A crystalization of the fact that Alfred the Great won his battles and his wars, made his kingdom prosperous and strong and did not treat children like dirt and they loved him back. This told a story that was both real and rarely repeated, a genuine hero with a genuinely happy ending (yes, there was his Chrons' disease, but compared to what Artoria suffered, that was miniscule). This means that should a set of conditions be fulfilled, this Noble Phantasm will activate, and fate and causality themselves will begin bending to give Alfred and his Master a happy ending by any means possible. Here are the conditions:

- Alfred must have a Master who shares 'chemistry' with him, one he gets along with and has a similar moral code.
- Alfred and his Master must have an enemy which can challenge them like the Vikings challenged the former. This enemy must not have been created by their own actions unless said actions are in accordance with their moral codes.
- Alfred and his Master must undergo this serious test of their body and mind and survive without compromising their morality.
- The process of achieving the above three conditions must be entertaining to a hypothetical outside observer. If it is boring, then the skill is not activated at all and stays dormant for the duration of the Grail War.

Name: Adam Kenneth Yearling.

Titles: A.K. Yearling.

Appearance:


Sex: Male.

Alignment: Neutral Good.

History: Despite its recent origins, barely 200 years old, the Yearling Family had laid claim to a tradition and profession as ancient as the Gods themselves - Storytelling. To them, stories had power, not just to entertain and influence, but also to preserve the secrets of the past while simultaenously revealing them to the present generations. By collecting stories, studying storytelling techniques, and of course, publishing their own, the Yearlings believed they can tap into a source of mystic power neglected by other Magi, and thus find their way into The Root. To summarize: Storytelling is Magic and they want a share of that Magic.

Adam Kenneth Yearling was not born as the oldest, the youngest, or the most talented child in the Yearling Family's current generation. While his siblings were developing new ideas for stories, new techniques for expressing them, and analyzing the great works of 20th century literature and movies, A.K. Yearling was just average and was quickly ignored, taught only a portion of his family's Magecraft and the existence of the supernatural in general, and that was a grudging concession, one which other families would not have granted. But the Yearling Magecraft was one which grew with each wielder, as long as the wielder knew how to suspend their disbelief and so not endanger the concept of Mystery, and so A.K. played his part.

Then, one day, as the boy grew into his late teens, he realized something: Wherever the Supernatural was concerned, stories occured in real life. Whenever the Supernatural was concerned, events organized themselves into a recognizable story, with a sequence of events which followed certain rules. And that meant that by bringing something Supernatural in nature into any given event, he can turn the event into a story and thus force it into a pattern which he can exploit and manipulate. Not just that, but the stronger the presence of supernatural elements were, the clearer and stronger the following story was.

Ambition grew in him - If he can find the Story of the World, then he can find his family's ideal path to The Root! They'd have to acknowledge him at last! And when news arrived that the Holy Grail had been recovered, as well as the Sub-Grails made in imitation of it, A.K. Yearling booked a flight to Japan and rented out an apartment in Fuyuki City, watching and waiting for the time the Prime Grail War would begin...

Personality. A.K. Yearling wants to be acknowledged as a Magus in his own right, one just as powerful as the rest of his family. However, he also wants to be seen as a hero or be on the side of 'the heroes', to have moral as well as magical legitimacy. He also has a soft and compassionate side to him which causes him to try and minimize any harm he does and save what innocents he could. This comes from both an awareness that people deserve to be treated decently, and that those who failed to do so were villains who eventually got karmic payback in the grand majority of cases. And finally, he is not a good liar, although he can omit the truth or tell only part of it.

Magecraft

Quality of Circuits: A

Quantity of Circuits: C

Elemental Affinity: Wind.

Attribute: Reinforcement.

Magecraft:

General Magecraft - Everything in the 'General Magecraft' section.

Storytelling Magecraft (Adam's Version) - Adam can use his portion of his Family Magecraft to see the story-patterns of recent events. And by that, whenever he writes down, recites, or otherwise records the story of his recent past, patterns and clues and 'foreshadowing' which should have been hidden show themselves - Written sentences suddenly dye themselves red or shift to italics/bold font, some words are louder than others, and photographs/video clips close in on seemingly small portions of the 'scene'. This ability grows stronger the more supernatural elements are present in the events which happened, to the point where a fight between Servants can yield a wealth of clues once the story of it has been set down on paper or otherwise preserved.

Basic Elemental Magecraft - Adam can conjure and control Wind for combat and utility.

Mystic Codes:

The Sword of Virtue - An Azoth Dagger which can extend into a longsword when Mana is channeled through it. Said Longsword can also take on the cutting force of the supernatural wind.

The Invisibility Cloak - A cloak of fine silk fibers enchanted with layers of illusionary magic, thus concealing the person under them from mundane and most magical sight. And yes, the person hidden in it can see through it as though it were transparent, so it does not blind him.

The Journal of Hidden Stories - A leather-bound Journal which boosts Adam's ability to spot patterns using his Magecraft, as well as acts as a lie detector and Mana Compass, projecting a feeling of great cold and heat when it detects either lies or something too powerful for him to defeat.

Seven-League Boots - A set of boots (magically disguised as sneakers) which further boost reinforcement directed to the feet and legs, thus allowing a faster escape.

Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items: In addition to University-level education (Associate in Arts), Adam is reasonably physically skilled in track and field and fencing and also has a laptop and cellphone and several burner phones.

True Name: Tlachtga

Title(s): The Hollow’s Witch. Spear of the Earth.

Class: Caster

Gender: Female

Birth and Death Dates: Age of Gods to Age of Faeries

Alignment: Neutral Good

Personality:
A druidess, wisewoman and mother. Yet despite all that she comes off as a spirited young woman in various aspects despite the many many years she lived traveling with her father across the world.

A spirit of adventure and whimsy that never left her even after being taken advantage of by one of the men that the two had learned of foreign arts and knowledge of, the apostle of the Messiah, Simon Magus. Nor even when she struggled in the childbirth that led to her death.

A lady who departed, even wracked with pain and blood, with a smile to offer her three newborns and a whisper of promises of their bright future.

This natural inclination was only increased by her association with the holiday that’s all about merriment, pleasure, treats and tricks. Perhaps she was always meant to be a Halloween Witch?

Her attitude is whimsical not in the sense of the fey, or monsters and spirits who play tricks. But rather of a curious and knowledge-hungry lady. However is it because of her experiences late in life, or because of the attribute of Hallow’s End? Compared to the woman that makes up the records of this Ghost Liner she does enjoy more schadenfreude type humor than the woman who walked the earth, and can sometimes be mean without even thinking about that as her intent at times.

Still she is not fundamentally an evil witch or anything like that.

After all she is just a person, even if she is wise.

Motivation for the Holy Grail:

To have another life, to study the workings of the Holy Grail War and the means that modern magi have decided to pursue to fulfill their own wishes.

My, it’s even collected an assortment of great heroes too!

She awaits an answer from those who participate, and perhaps she shall end up the victor who will mark it as a monument to their second and new wishes just as those runes in Italy left the tale of those warriors and sages long gone.

Appearance: A woman with the appearance that holds the beauty and vibrancy of the prime of her maturation, and the energy of youth. Keen eyes that know the world and arcane lore carefully look at all sorts of things… although perhaps not as carefully as some others, deciding that knowing the general nature of things at first is enough, and that if it’s important she’ll get to it again later as she moves onto the next thing in the interest of spreading her awareness wider.

Clad in various sorts of wear fitting for a wise-woman, and carrying a trusty satchel that carries much more than it looks like it should be able to hold. The bounty of the western world’s forests and lands, along with various tools and traveling supplies are always on hand, and the smell of both earth and ozone seem to accompany her at all times.

Most importantly however…

She has a little purse dedicated solely to candy that appeals to everyone’s tastes.

Bio: The red-haired daughter of the Arch-Druid Mug Ruith. The apprentice, and fellow adventurer that saw and travelled through the world. She learned from him and the many wise-men and practitioners that they encountered over the hundreds of years they traveled not just Ireland and Britain, but the mainland itself.

In an adventure she took alone she explored Rome, finding herself drawn to the land that was the symbol of mankind and perhaps of the age that they were transitioning into, away from faeries and dragons, from gods and mystery. That was not to say that it did not hold great occultic knowledge, or culture, and indeed it was a great mixing pot, the golden capital that collected all blessings and wealths.

It was in that land that she surprisingly found a treasure of knowledge that came from the north, undiscovered by others, unlocked and inherited by her. A path that made her more than just the shade of her father, and a path that she would pass on in the future as one of her two marks upon the world.

Her end came after learning from the Apostle of the Messiah and his arcane ways before his repentance and baptism. Overcome by lust for his female student, Tlachtga was raped. Impregnated with triplets, she eventually gave birth and died, but not without whispering her blessings and hopes for her children that would grow to become chieftains themselves.

Where she dies marked the Hill of the Ward, the mound Tlachtga. The site of the Samhain ritual that formed the basis of the Hallow’s End Ritual.

Just as the sun died and sunk into the earth before it would rise again, she has come forth as a hallow’s end witch.

Ah, what shall we see in this new world today?

Equipment: A Druid Staff created and given to her by her father.

Parameters:
Strength: E Mana: A
Endurance: E+ Luck: D
Agility: D Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills:

Territory Creation: A+:
The ability to create a territory to gather magical energy, and a alien space that supports the caster. A druid from the age of the gods who lived through to the beginning of the Age of Man and the Age of Faeries. Creating a Temple greater than a workshop is possible.

Beyond that the creation of a festival to expand her territory, and to create a support infrastructure that involves and utilizes civilization and the people of the land is within her abilities too.

Ah, what was it that they said?

Trick or treat!

Item Creation: A:
A skill of the Caster class. It is possible to construct magical items, from implements of war, to items meant for daily use. All sorts of different articles can be made at will. The wisdom of the druids allow for various draughts, mystic codes and handy items and medicines to be made. Of course some more foreign tricks can be included too.

By no means does she have access to the wondrous machine of her father, the Roth Rámach. But creating a mimicry of it is within her knowledge and abilities, and utilizing her own unique knowledge that she acquired separate of her father.

Personal Skills:

Divinity: D

Daughter of the Arch Druid Mug Ruith that is thought to be by some scholars to be a god of the Sun or Storm. Coupled with her own connection to a grand festival and ritual honoring the god Lugh, and the sun her rank is while low, a tangible connection to the divine and aptitude.

Varangian Runes (Lombardy): A
The secret of the runes that came from Scandinavia. Discovered in her life and legend, Caster has studied and disseminated the sacred knowledge passed down through the sacred stones left in the land of Italy.

What was recorded is not just the sacred knowledge and magic crest of the great god Wotan, but also the stories of the adventurers, warriors and heroes that fought and perished in the land. Whether it be unnamed and forgotten heroes, or the Vanagarian Guard.

Perhaps it is because of her connection to a certain festival, but sometimes as she traces those symbols it looks as though the hands of others who have long passed from this world overlay her own slender fingers to draw with her.

Wisdom of Mug Ruith:B
The inheritance of the wisdom and teachings of her father, Mug Ruith. The apprentice, assistant and travel companion of the great Archdruid. While not on the level of Mug Ruith himself, the mysteries and magical knowledge she has learned both from, and alongside him mark her in ability as a peer to the greatest of druids.

Perhaps it is no surprise that she does not quite reach the same heights without giving up her sight and becoming blind as her father.

Beyond that, knowledge of various curiosities and foreign lands were engraved into her heart through their wondrous journeys.

..Of course this includes the knowledge taught to them by the Apostle, Simon Magus. A bit of an ultimately unpleasant tale. Although she does not begrudge the knowledge or magic itself.

Noble Phantasm
Darkest Half Brightest Flame
True Name: Samhain Tlachtga
Title: Bonfired Festival Around The Sun-Grave.
Rank: A+
NP Type: Anti-City
Range: 1-70
Maximum Number of Targets: 800
Description:
The castle that is her grave, the end of summer, the descent of the sun.

The beginning of winter and the new year.

The fall of the sun, yet the promise of the retreat of darkness.

A time of debts to be settled, for wars to be stopped with the onset of the cold. However it is not a day or ritual that has the attribute of halting, or freezing. But rather the attribute of renewal and decision.

It was when the future was looked to and decided while the past lingered in the form of visiting ancestors. The Sun would be celebrated and its return and vibrant energy worshipped.

A castle that is close to the sun, similar to the castle that holds the place closest to the moon. This closeness is not about physical distance, but rather a spiritual attribute. Yet it is still a grave, and a castle that is inherently as such, connected to the hill it is built upon and the earth. The connection of heaven and earth, of the rotation of the celestial body and the circuits of the planet.

The connection of heaven to earth, of life to death, wax to wane. The grave that is the home of the sun, the festivals that collect light and illumination.

The hill of Tlachtga to which a bonfire that gathered all the flames from every household is fed. A festival that supports the grave-castle of the sun, and sweeps the city into a ritual now known as Halloween in the modern day.

A blessing of providence and light upon all, and the sanctity of community and household is upheld.

Dom Pedro I

The Soldier King

Class: Saber

Sex: Male

Alignment: Lawful Good

Attribute: Man

History: A rebellious child at heart, Pedro I remains a man enamoured with new ideas, pushing ever forward in his journey to obtain victory and challenge the world around him. As a ruler, this would eventually push him to cut the ties between Brazil, then a colony, and Portugal, the homeland he had been absent from for much of his life.

Known as the Soldier King, as well as the Liberator, Pedro I was known to engage in lengthy campaigns while dealing with the continuous crises of his ruling. Not helped by his whimsical heart which sought new thrills and ideas, easily lead astray by others who took advantage of it.

This search would eventually cost him his wife, who many accused Pedro I of mistreating to the benefit of a mistress. Though such accusations were never proved fully, as a Servant, Pedro I acts as if he were indeed guilty of all the misdeeds attributed to himself, and that regardless of the details, he did hurt his family as often as he hurt his enemies.

A stain which he will never wash away.

The loss of his wife deeply affected Pedro, leading him to cut ties with his mistress and vices. Seeking redemption for an evil he would never be able to take back. Instead, he chose to remove himself from the situation all together, abdicating the crown of Brazil in favor of his son, Pedro, and the crown of Portugal to his eldest daughter, Maria.

Having cast aside all titles and authority as a monarch, Pedro I would continue to fight for as long as he lived. Seeking new battlefields in search of a great deed, something so great that it might perhaps help him forget the mistakes of the past.

Even now, as a servant, he still seeks that battlefield.

Personality: Guilt. Overwhelming guilt and a need for atonement are what drive Pedro I as a Servant. having dedicated most of his adult life to putting out fires and waging battles, the Soldier King is not a man who easily relaxes; rather,you could say he is constantly on the lookout for the next crisis.

There is no time for ephemeral pleasures when the next battle might be upon him soon.

However, that does not mean his bloodthirsty or a glory hound. Rather, he is so used to conflict that his paranoia pushes him to expect conflict even when there is none to be found. Looking over his shoulder as he expects something to go wrong while he is not looking.

Pedro has a soft spot for two things only. His family and the loves he found in life. Refusing to engage in any romantic relationships as a servant, he fervently holds onto a promise to be a better King, Father and Husband.

If summoned at the same time as a member of his family, Pedro I will become somber yet overprotective. Wanting to avoid hurting his family, yet at the same time guarding them against the world if needed. Regardless of how much danger he himself ends up in.

Parameters:
Strength: B

Mana: C
Luck: C

Class Skills

Magic Resistance - B+

A product of D. Pedro’s protection by a river spirit. In tandem with the natural resistance of the Saber Class, he is able to shrug off most spells, even if he lacked education in magecraft, being a King born during a time where mystery had already declined.

Riding - C

One can flawlessly manage beasts and vehicles if they have received the proper training and adjustments. Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above-average skills. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.

Personal Skills

Protection of the Red Waters - C

Beloved by the spirit of the Ipiranga, Pedro has turned the small, usually forgetful location into the cradle of a free nation. Through this connection, Pedro I can manifest the red-tinted waters of the Ipiranga through his blade and fire slashing cuts with tremendous power and accuracy.

Crown of Abdication - A

At one point, Pedro I reigned as both Emperor of Brazil and Heir to the Throne of Portugal. Wielding the Authority to rule over both nations, he instead chose to forfeit his rights to the crown of Portugal and pass them onto someone else, as well as abdicating in favor of his son Pedro, who would become the second and final Emperor of Brazil. As a Skill, Crown of Abdication allows Pedro to grant the skills normally gained by Imperial Privilege onto others. At this Rank, he can gift those skills to two individuals simultaneously.

Trouble with Women - E+

A man who in life was lead astray by the charms of women, resulting in the loss of his wife. Having resolved himself in life to be better and not stray from a righteous path, Pedro I was said to have succeeded in life, decreasing the rank of this Skill to its absolute lowest.

He will still remark and notice the beauty of women around him, but has developed the discipline to completely ignore their charms and act only as a proper Knight should in their defense. Though it has a very low chance of ‘Charming’ an individual who fits his four criteria (Family Background, Culture, Beauty, Kindness)

Southern Cross - B

A fighting technique developed by Pedro’s long time friend and ally, the Duke of Caxias. As a Saber, Pedro’s rank in this skill is higher than usual, but still does not match the original. At Rank B, this Skill allows the creation of three simultaneous afterimages which increase the amount of attacks Pedro can unleash at any given time.

Title: The Warcry Heard by Red Water
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1
Targets: 1
Description: The site of Pedro’s most famous deed. The declaration of independence which would lead to the birth of Brazil as its own Nation and Empire. Its importance is such that the very place where it happened is now just as famous. A small brook named for its red waters, the Ipiranga is seamlessly connected to Pedro’s legend and his Noble Phantasm.

And that includes the spirit which resided there.

A river spirit, barely sentient of its own purpose. Something small and fragile which would have broken down and vanished as the Age of Man progressed. Instead, its very name became intertwined with the birth of a Nation…

Slung over Saber’s back. The red cape which ruffles windlessly is nothing else but a physical representation of his bond with the spirit of the Ipiranga brook, a figure who wordlessly watched over him during life and even now is summoned alongside him as the Armor he wears and the Blessing which powers it.

If, for whatever reason, Pedro is rendered unconscious… well… let’s not think about that.

Name: O Libertador
Title: Fate of a Nation, Independence or Death
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Targets: 1
Description: The act of severing the connection of Brazil and Portugal, as well as their centuries-old relationship. The declaration which immortalized Pedro I in Brazilian History. To become independent or die trying. And this Noble Phantasm is nothing more than the crystallization of this concept.

A single sword strike that severs and reverses the ‘bond’ between two parties. Be it something like a curse, a contract of master and servant or even something far more conceptual as the ‘present’ self from the ‘past’. If there is a relationship between any two beings this Noble Phantasm is capable of severing that connection and reverting the nature of its bond.

Turning a ‘Master’ into a ‘Servant’, a ‘King’ into a ‘Follower’.

A ‘Beast’ into a ‘Savior’.

A ‘Fake’ into ‘Reality’.

It can be called a Sword of Reversal.

However, its true nature can only be released if Pedro I resolves to put his life on the line. A single swing which can ‘sever’ fate and overturn a hopeless situation at the cost of one’s own life.

A figure from 6th century Denmark.

Theirs is a tale incorporating the sordid stories surrounding their clan, the recruitment of the twelve champions that would become lifelong friends, meeting gods, fighting kings, ruling the land and the ultimate battle against the wicked half-sister and her armies which resulted in their death.

Without a doubt, a heroic tale fraught with adventure, happiness and tragedy.

And the one that left behind such a brilliant legend...

Frank without being insulting, prideful without being demeaning, powerful without being cruel, firm without being merciless, and authoritative without being tyrannical.

Intrinsically, someone who is a friend to the wretched and an enemy to the wicked. Someone who comforts the weak and laughs at the strong.

That is the hero named “Hrolf Kraki”.

Though her form is that of a young woman in the prime of her life and she has no issues showing a face full of joy and love for the world as it is, there can be no doubt that this girl possesses the character of a “king”.

As far as this War is concerned though, without there being something that requires her to act in her full capacity as a hero or as a monarch, then she is simply happy to cross swords with mighty warriors from all over the world to her heart’s content. Rather than a thirst for blood however, it is more like the entire situation has made her competitive streak flare up.

She doesn’t believe in the relationship of “Master and Servant”, but nonetheless approaches the matter openly, and without hesitation suggests a partnership where she will trust them implicitly and expects the same from them as comrades. Because they’re the ones that have given her the chance to indulge herself in the modern era, she sees bringing the spoils (the Grail) back to them as a fair trade.

But in the circumstances where the ultimate victory was achieved…

In the circumstances where she could truly gain something like a “wish”...

Saber is not typically someone to regret. What was, was, and what will be, will be. All you can do, all anyone can do, is accept such uncertainty, accept that you will make mistakes, and face it head on — that is our duty as humans.

But even so, if there is one thing she would want…

“The people that depended on me and the warriors that swore themselves to me, I answered those expectations and I’m not sorry about it. That’s why they praised me as a good king. But even so, I never sat down with you...and I also never tried to understand you.

“I was a pretty terrible sister myself, wasn’t I? Hey, Skuld, for what’s worth...I’d like to have a talk. A very long, very important, very overdue talk.”





Ability to combat magery — the hallmark of the Saber class.

Boasting the highest rank, even magecraft on the level of High Thaumaturgy won’t leave a scratch on her armor. A bonafide “magus killer”.

Saber lived a life marked by the supernatural, and her two main foes were the sorcerer-king of Sweden and her own half-elven enchantress of a sibling, the witch Skuld. Though she fell to the second and her army of constantly-reanimating revenants, it still took a full day of fighting to bring Saber down.

According to the person herself, “after that sort of thing, everything else just kind of tickles.”



Represents skill with mounts.

Though it cannot cope with the likes of Phantasmal Species, everything from animals to even contraptions found in other eras can be operated with relative ease.

She laments that one of the concessions made to fit into the Saber class was the loss of her beloved hound, Gram, which would’ve manifested with her if she had been called forth in the...Rider container?

“He was just the cutest lil’ thing, Master, I wish you could’ve seen him…”





Ability to identify “the best personal course of action for oneself” in combat, even allowing one to negate penalties from visual or auditory interference.

Boasting the skill at the highest rank, this sixth sense has already essentially breached the realm of true precognition — the optimal flow is identified, analyzed and incorporated instantly.

A natural talent honed over many battles.



A form of self-admonition.

Fundamentally, it is a Skill that displays its effects by having the user stick to the attitude that one believes the “ideal hero” should display. It is similar to the ability of a certain Holy Emperor.

Rather than being something that upgrades the “base specs”, it is better categorized as an ability that strengthens Saber’s own standing as a “hero”, akin to slowly improving upon the Saint Graph itself. So long as she maintains that attitude, then the spiritual foundation and even mentality can reach new heights. Likewise, breaking from such will cause the opposite.

A star that shone brightest even among other stars, lovely and irreplaceable.

A skill that, more than anything, encapsulates Saber’s “way of life”.



Not a Skill inherent to Saber, but rather a byproduct of the twelve spirits inhabiting her sword — the champions that accompanied her throughout her adventures and into the fated final battle, to their doom and beyond, and still answer her call even now.

Separate from her Noble Phantasms, the effect is naturally activated when entering combat — a “heavy pressure” coming from the raging souls of the twelve warriors floods the opponent, lowering their performance accordingly.

Even if they cannot stand by her in body, so long as even an inkling of will is left, they will remain by her side.



The overly-large sword Saber lugs around. Despite looking impractical, she swings it with the incredible ease and skill befitting a warrior-king.

It was said to be “the best and greatest of all swords in the Northern lands” within Saber’s lifetime — a peerless magic sword that accompanied her throughout many adventures and slew many foes, always managing to leave the worst wounds no matter the circumstances.

The blade’s effect is twofold: first, any wound created by it will never heal so long as it persists in this world. Second, “every successfully connected blow with this sword is immediately revised and maximized in Saber’s favor”.

In simpler terms, every single strike from the sword, no matter how shallow, is an automatic “critical hit”.

...Perhaps Saber indeed has reason to boast that her blade will not lose out even when compared to the one wielded by that dragon slayer of legend



Saber’s second and strongest Noble Phantasm.

It was said that the souls of the twelve berserkers that swore their allegiance to her — each of them worthy of attaining status as a Heroic Spirit — found their way into the blade and dwell within it even now.

While that is already the source of one of her skills, this ability calls upon more than just their “presence”, fully releasing their power and channeling it through Saber’s own Saint Graph in order to perform it.

Saber’s body is momentarily filled with power from the souls of her longtime friends, breaking her own limits and entrusting herself to the flow as they dictate in order to perform an ultra-high-speed sequence of thirteen attacks with Skofnung.

While the speed is overwhelming and the power behind each blow is great, which would already make it a deadly combination with the basic abilities of the sword, perhaps the most understated element is that “every single attack in the sequence has a completely different rhythm from the others”.

It lacks the widespread destructive power that can be showcased by the blade touted as the “Strongest Demonic Sword”, especially when backed by the factor of the dragon in that man’s heart.

But even so, in terms of “Anti-Unit Magic Sword”, there is no room for doubt that Saber’s stands unmatched in Northern Europe.

Titles: Silver Lizard

Sex: M

Alignment: Lawful Evil

History: WIP.

Personality: Perfidious and snakelike to a T. A man who cares more about the letter of the law than the spirit and who prioritizes his own wellbeing and survival to the exclusion of others. He idolizes reptiles as a sort of platonic ideal and seeks to imitate them and their cold, detached psychology in everything he does. In fact, it could be said that, like reptiles, the emotions that Rottweil feels strongest are pleasure, fear, and aggression. Likes dark, moist places.



Quality of Circuits: C

Quantity of Circuits: B

Elemental Affinity: Water

Attribute: Absorption

Magecraft: In addition to General Magecraft, Rottweil has an affinity for animals, with a specialization in reptiles and amphibians. He is familiar with various spells dedicated to controlling and communicating with animals, as well as performing minor divinations and curses using animal sacrifices. His familiars of choice are tiny geckos that he relies on more for information gathering than anything else.

His specialty is body modification magecraft. By applying his family’s zoological lineage to this type of magecraft, Rottweil has been able to successfully adapt and integrate the traits of numerous animals into his own body. At what point he reaches the limit of what is still human is unclear, however he estimates he’s replaced or augmented over 70% of his original body with new parts from at least a hundred different creatures. The most prominent of these changes is the armor-like silver scales that cover most of his torso and his limbs up to the forearms and all the way down to his ankles.

Mystic Codes: Thanks to extensive tinkering and “self perfection” using his body modification magecraft, Rottweil’s entire body functions as a Mystic Code emulating the physical traits and abilities of various reptiles and amphibians. The most notable abilities this grants him include:
-Regeneration: Like many reptiles, Rottweil is able to voluntarily detach and regrow his limbs, as well as rejuvenate minor injuries quickly by shedding skin. This ability makes him equal parts slippery and incredibly difficult to kill, as any attacks strong enough to pierce his skin are quickly healed or the afflicted parts jettisoned. Limbs can be regrown in about a week, while minor injuries heal overnight. More serious wounds will persist, but heal over a number of days.
-Pit Organs: Like a pit viper, Rottweil has implanted specialized organs that allow him to sense heat. This isn’t quite infrared vision but functions similarly, a compromise Rottweil had to make to maintain his ability to blend in with normal people (slitted eyes not being terribly inconspicuous).
-Gills: Rottweil has a set of gills on his abdomen that allow him to breathe underwater similar to a salamander or axolotl. Simple yet useful.
-Wall-Crawling: One of the most mundane yet consistently useful tools in Rottweil’s arsenal is the ability to cling to walls and ceilings like a gecko, allowing him to traverse terrain in three dimensions and giving him an extra edge in densely packed urban environments.
-Armored Scales: The Silver Lizard’s eponymous silver scales are tougher than iron and cover most of his vital spots save for his head. While he could in theory cover his entire body, he has instead opted to leave his head and halfway up his forearms exposed, simply because he could no longer fit into human society otherwise.
-Venomous Saliva: Taken not from komodo dragons but from a variety of viper and cobra species, Rottweil can inject those he bites with a potent blend of neurotoxins and mycotoxins that paralyze muscles and inhibit breathing, causing the victim to, at best, sieze up and collapse. At worst… use your imagination. Luckily the particular toxins he uses don’t work when spat like some snakes, an ability he considered adding in the past.
-Extreme Bite Force: Rottweil can exert pressures similar to a crocodilian with his bite, allowing him to snap bones like twigs and even tear off chunks of flesh. He has combined this with the ability to dislocate his jaw to swallow and bite through unexpectedly large things.
-Auto-Hemorrhaging: The ability to shoot blood from his eyes at high pressures, taken from horned lizards. This attack is as potent as a water cutter and can easily pierce and slice through flesh as well as stone and wood.

Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items: A skilled target shooter and hunter who is proficient in animal tracking. He is also an avid reptile keeper. He knows all the employees’ names at his favorite pet store by heart.

Mana: A
Luck: A+

Class Skills
-Independent Action (A): 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.
-Camouflage (A+): At this rank, it is possible to fool an opponent by appearing as another Class with different parameters. Kuzunoha receives a rank-up in this skill proportional to her rank in the Personal Skill Shapeshift.

Personal Skills
-Shapeshift (A+): Can freely assume a wide variety of forms ranging from beautiful women to 9 ft tall demons and even appear as multiple distinct entities, such as a procession of soldiers. Division decreases the stats of each body proportionally, while temporarily increasing stats by assuming different forms is possible. Increasing one stat at a time is fine but two or more begins to consume magical energy at the rate of a minor Noble Phantasm.
-Disengage (B): 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.
-Clairvoyance (EX): An exception among exceptions, this skill normally belonging to Grand Casters has manifested in the Faker class. As the mother of Japan’s greatest onmyōji and the source of most of his supernatural abilities, it is only natural that Kuzunoha would possess similar attributes. While Abe no Seimei purportedly possessed Mystic Eyes that allowed him to see “further than the future”, Kuzunoha’s Mystic Eyes are those that cannot help but dwell on the past. With them she can follow the world line of any person or object in her field of view and instantaneously trace it back to any point in time, discerning any and all relevant information. Because the vast volume of information easily overwhelms the mind of any sentient being, the ability serves more as a search function that picks out only the information Kuzunoha is looking for. Because of this minor yet fatal flaw, information that could be important can be lost if she is not specifically looking for it.
