~Plot~

“This is where the end ends and the beginning begins.”

It always starts with a Holy Grail.
There are many worlds. Timelines. Universes upon universes, wrapped around each other like molecules in a vast ocean of existence.
At the center of it all lies Akasha. The Akashic Records. The Void. Heaven. Hell.
All of it.
None of it.
It is the place where all souls are bound to, and from whence all lives originate. It is the past, present, and future. It is the place where wishes can be granted, and where dreams go to die. It is the dream of every magus to one day arrive there, and unravel its secrets--to be the first to grasp a new, true Magic.
A very long time ago--during the year of 1790--a group of great men convened to summon a gate to Akasha, using a tool ancient beyond antiquity--the Holy Grail. They were successful. They were more successful than they could ever have dreamed. They created not only a gate to Akasha, but a wellspring from which magecraft could flourish and evolve beyond its wildest dreams.

It was then that the world ended.
At once, the world became as one and then as none. Reality could not bear this transgression, and chose altogether to bury itself in an eternal Mystery. Impenetrable, and unfathomable.

But, fear not, for this was not our world. This was another world. Had it not so deeply affected our own, we would not have even known of its existence.

Today--during this year of 1790--a group of magi convened to summon a gate to Akasha. However, there was only room enough for one of these men. The Holy Grail was not so much a gate as they had originally surmised, but more like a tollbooth. One pushed through, and what they saw was unspeakable.
They did not see the path to a new Magic. They did not see the Swirl at the Root. They did not step foot in the annals of the Akashic Records.
Through the gate, they had found a great, Mysterious thing. An entire planet, shrouded in an ancient, ineffable strangeness.
They had found what was lost to the hubris of another self, simultaneously having been for as long as being could be, and being as fresh and nascent as a newborn.
The gate that they had stepped through was now open--permanently. The Holy Grail was no more--it could be no more. It was as it always was, and as it had never been.
A Gate to Mystery. The Universe Between Universes.
At the very moment that Mystery lodged itself in the path to the Swirl of the Root, all timelines--all universes--came undone at once. Its mere existence set every other existence off of their preordained course. It is an aberration--a thing that should never have been. In that moment, time itself became a convoluted thing; what was once 1790 became nonexistent, as past, present, and future became but concepts--irrelevant creatures that heralded no weight nor presence.
There is only Mystery, and upon it, the battleground of ages.

Take up arms, O Servants.
Make thy name known to the world, O Masters.
This is the Heavenly Grail War.

~Your Role~

Mystery is an aberration of time and space. It is a planet that is at once a part of Akasha, and the very furthest thing from it. Lodged squarely in the path the Holy Grail created, Mystery has destabilized every timeline, every universe. In doing so, the collective unconscious of the Earth and the primal will to survive of Man--Gaia and Alaya--have all at once coincided, through every universe, creating a temporary battleground in an effort to dislodge the anomaly and bring time back to its rightful course.
This, in the simplest terms, is why you are here. Passing through the gate not of your own free will, but rather because there are no worlds to come home to, you are one of the 42 Masters that inhabit the world of Mystery--and you are destined to fight for the right to your own future. The Heavenly Grail speaks of granting a single wish, and destroying the Mystery that so destabilizes the flow of time.
Led by a Ruler, you and your compatriots will aim to bring the other six factions to their knees, and in the process feed the Heavenly Grail its sacrifices and bring Mystery to its final oblivion.

~The World~

The Heavenly Grail War

The Holy Grail & the Swirl At the Root

What is Akasha?

Akasha, or the Root, is the center of all space and time. It is, in the simplest sense, the very beginning of the universe, and the essence of reality. It is a metaphysical location that records all the information processed by space and time, and acts as both the termination point and the origin point of the soul. It is the reason Magecraft exists, and the objective of the Second, Third, and Fourth Magics. It is also known as the Void, Heaven, the Throne of Heroes, and the Akashic Records. It houses all the events and phenomena of the universe, and is, as a result, the single greatest force ever to exist.

Mystery

Mystery is both a place and a state of being. It is important to make note of this distinction, as the two are used interchangeably within the world of Mystery. Mystery--in worlds where Mystery was once a thing rare and altogether unseen--was a power that grew with age, and when two Mysteries intersected, the stronger would always overwhelm the weaker. It is the source, moreover, of all supernatural phenomena, making the land of Mystery a strange place indeed. It is, moreover, the origin of Magecraft.
Mystery, the location, is a world created for the Heavenly Grail War. This dimensionless plane wraps in upon itself, creating a mobius strip upon which the Faction Lands exist. There is no “top,” no “bottom,” nor “side,” there is merely Mystery and the Heavens. As a result of this strange shape--and its small size--much of Mystery is visible from any point along its surface. Mystery sits directly in the path to Akasha, acting as a plug of time and space--as a result, time itself has come unwound.

The Heavenly Grail

The Heavenly Grail is the source of energy and the stabilizing force that forces Mystery’s continued existence. It is best classified as a “gate within gates,” or, perhaps more accurately, a “False Root.” Its existence is twofold: it is the Heavens that surround Mystery, and the shining star by which day and night occur. The Heavens are bounded by a field created by the infinite wills of Gaia and Alaya, and, to this end, it could be said that Mystery is, in and of itself, not just a but the Reality Marble.

Factions

Within the world of Mystery, there exists 7 Factions. Each of these Factions consists of 13 souls--6 Masters, and 7 Servants. This seventh Servant is both the leader and Ruler of its faction, standing in the place of Servants such as the Azure Saber, or Argent Rider. They are both the greatest weapon and greatest weakness of their creed, as their death spells certain doom for their constituents--a great deal of the power and territory of most of the Factions are manifested and controlled by its Ruler. Each Faction represents one of the Classes that Servants tend to follow, and as a result, are granted boons associated with that Class.

Azure (Saber)

The Saber. Widely regarded as the strongest Class among the seven, they are characterized by their knightly stature and enviable versatility. The Azure Faction follows this chivalrous nature to its very core--its land, the Keep of Blades, is every part as imposing and regal as the Faction that inhabits it. Many of the Azure Masters are folk from times long past, and as such the Keep stands firm as a relic of antiquity.

Scarlet (Lancer)

The Lancer. The most reliable of the classes, they are known for being distinctly above-average in every regard. In this instance, you are all Servants and Masters of the Scarlet Faction. Your domain is for you to create as intimately--or as distanced--as you choose. Each of the Scarlet Servants are closer to their main Classes than their Faction, moreso than any other Faction. As a result, the Scarlet Faction is the most versatile of the Factions, and is capable of the most variety.

Gilt (Archer)

The Archer. The free spirit--the ranger without boundaries. Known for their independence, the Gilt Faction houses itself within the Fabled Wild--a massive forest that spans their entire Faction domain. The Masters are made up of free spirits; believers in the inviolable human right to their own personal freedom. All of the Gilt Servants employ some form of ranged weapon, though some more than others.

Clay (Berserker)

The Berserker. Beings of chaos--more beast than man. Trading sanity in favor of immense power, Berserkers are characterized by their violent natures and erratic, unpredictable behavior. The Badlands are where they make their home, and it--suiting a creed of wildmen--is a wasteland where the mighty ravage all comers. All of the Clay Masters are in some way unhinged, and they--along with their Servants--are essentially led by the leash by their Avenger. All of the Servants suffer from some sort of Mad Enhancement, and the Clay Faction is the only faction that lacks a Ruler.

Sable (Assassin)

The Assassin. Unique among the Factions not only for their location, but the origin from which all of the Servants spring; every last Sable Servant is counted among the Hassan-i-Sabbah, and their domain is the Old Man’s Mountain itself. While the Sable Faction is physically weaker than the other Factions by orders of magnitude, what they lack in ability they more than make up for in subterfuge. The Masters, of course, are all morally malleable in one way or another--criminals from all corners of time.

Argent (Rider)

The Rider. Possessed of preternatural skill with their steeds, the Argent Servants are characterized by their extreme mobility--whether by land, by air, or by sea. Residing in the vast Silverwater Straits, the home of the Argent Faction is ever-moving, and constantly amidships. The Argent Masters consist of conquerors and war heroes, and their Servants are much the same--beings that birth empires. The most mobile--and perhaps most aggressive--of the Factions.

Violet (Caster)

The Caster. Housed in the Prolix Realm of Cambridge, what Casters lack in combat potential they more than make up for in their potential as magi. Schemers, witches, warlocks--all masters of esoteric and strange Magecrafts. All of the Violet Servants ply some form of Magecraft that further enhances their natural Class capacities, and each and every one of them are blessed with the gift of Territory Creation--as a result, Cambridge is the most expansive and enigmatic of all of the Faction Lands. All of the Violet Masters, moreover, are magi of some renown--and while the playing field was leveled by Mystery’s proximity to the Root, their intermingling beliefs in specific Mysteries have placed their potential in a league of their own. The Violet Faction, in that sense, is a Faction where the Masters and Servants have the smallest gap in power.

Magic, Magecraft, and Mystery

What is Magecraft?

Magecraft (or Thaumaturgy), in short, is the method by which a supernatural phenomenon is reenacted using a Mystery as the source of its power. In the past, it would require a modicum of energy from the Root--which, in the case of the planet Mystery, is so close and easily accessible that the ancient fears of too many magi drawing on magical power is essentially meaningless. In the past, widespread belief in a Mystery was required in order to properly evoke a Thaumaturgy in its vein, but now that the number of humans in the world are reduced to 42, it merely takes personal belief to give rise to a Thaumaturgy. In even shorter terms, Magecraft is now a system by which energy from the Root is allowed to flow through the body in order to enact a magical effect fashioned by the user; while Thaumaturgy is now much easier to achieve, the user must be certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are capable of the Magecraft that they are trying to invoke. As a result, magi are generally limited to 1 or 2 schools of Thaumaturgy. However, in this limitation, you are granted a great deal of freedom so long as you do not violate the law of Equivalency. An Elemental Affinity does not count towards this total, though the possession of multiple Affinities does.

Mysterious Magecraft

Modern Magecraft no longer functions in the manner that it did when the worlds were stable. It has become an altogether more streamlined thing, as the laws of the world change to suit the Mystery that pervades its every inch of being. Gone are the days of rigorous and constant magical research; there exists only Mystery, and it is in perfect balance with the beliefs of the Masters that live upon it. As a result, the old schools of Thaumaturgy are now a great deal more conceptual in nature, and now simpler, greater Magecraft can be achieved. There is one great rule of Thaumaturgy, given these circumstances: it must follow the law of Equivalency, in that something must be given--somatically, vocatively, materially--in order to initiate an effect. The world will not simply change of your own will.

What is Magic?

It is important to note the distinction between Magecraft and Magic. True Magic--of which exists Five--is a beast all on its own. First, Magic is passed by way of heirship, rather than simply being practiced by any and everyone; it only ever has a single practitioner at any given time. It is said that the beginning First changed everything, the following Second acknowledged many, the resulting Third showed the future, the linking Fourth concealed itself, and the final Fifth had already lost its meaning. Someone once said, "Had it only ended at the Third." Magic is the immutable existence of life beyond the natural order, and is in and of itself a thing not practiced by any of the Masters, nor their Servants. While the Magecraft of Servants from the Age of Gods is laudable and nearly on the level of Magic, it is a different thing entirely for it to truly be Magic. For something to be truly Magic, it must be impossible to replicate by any other given being in the time period, even given infinite time and resources. As a result, Magecraft and, more specifically, Mysterious Magecraft can be defined in retrograde as “anything that could be replicated given infinite time and resources, hastened through the use of the Root.”

Examples of Magecraft

Often, Magecraft is divided into what the practitioner believes makes up the building blocks of the universe. For instance, in terms of the Westernized Thaumaturgy (and its Holy Sacraments), the major elements are wind, water, fire, earth, and void. For the East, however, it is wind, water, fire, wood, and metal. Furthermore, these are usually derived into applications of positive and negative nature--the difference between healing hands and a curse. These are not the only elements, either--so long as it embodies a concept, it is usually within reason. On the subject of concepts, most Magecraft is the actualization of a concept--like temporal perception, gravitational force, internal enhancement--through the usage of these elemental building blocks. It is moreover important to note that certain magi from certain timelines may ply an entirely different craft, often using Mystic Codes--physical objects that enhance magical capabilities--to supplement a magic they never had.

Masters

What is a Master?

A Master is someone who has pacted with a Servant. This pact is done by way of a Summoning Rite, which every Master performed shortly after their arrival in Mystery. A Master need not be a magus, but most Masters are magi. Within the confines of Mystery, Masters are capable of originating from any time during the Age of Man--that is to say, after the Age of Gods (Which took place before 0 AD). For example, Abraham would not be able to be a Master, but Jesus might. That being said, any being who is already a Heroic Spirit and recognized as having a seat upon the Throne of Heroes is precluded from being a Master. (Jesus is counted among them, and only serves as a recognizable example in this instance.)

Command Seals

Every Master is presented with 3 Command Seals. Command Seals are three-part insignias etched onto the body--often the hand or arm--of the Master, that represent three inviolable commands that their Servant must follow. These are imbued with a great deal of power from the Root, and serve, moreover, to allow a Servant to break their own restrictions and perform acts that would be infeasible without the onus of a Command Seal. When the final Command Seal is used, the Master is deemed no longer a part of the Heavenly Grail War. In this case, without any further anchor, they will simply cease to exist. Servants, however, are not necessarily doomed to the same fate, because of the unique nature and circumstance of Mystery.

Creating a Master

The nature of Mystery allows for a great deal of variety in the Masters that dwell within its boundaries. First, it should be noted that Masters are capable of carrying their own rare and powerful artifacts, just like a Servant--except their artifacts are usually quite a bit weaker, and almost definitely fewer in number. Masters can come from any cut of cloth and almost any point in time during the Age of Man, and vary wildly in origin and skillset. Oftentimes, they are some degree of magi, though that is not a prerequisite for Mastership. However, every Master, in order to anchor themselves in the world of Mystery, has summoned a Servant--immediately upon entry into the world.
Second, it’s important to note the existence of Mystic Codes. A Mystic Code is something like a magical artifact; it supplements magecraft with its own power, and is often used as a catalyst for greater invocations. The Azoth Sword stands as the most obvious example of a Mystic Code, as it is used by most folk within the Mages’ Association. Its major use is as a wand--a conduit to form magical circles or bring to form physical divine Mysteries--that is, to cast spells. Often, a Mystic Code has its own lore and story behind it, and is usually some sort of heirloom or other object with an air of Mystery due to age and magical origin. They come in two varieties--Amplifiers and Specialized Mystic Codes. The former is used to enhance thaumaturgical spells, whereas the latter has a specific functional use that is wholly unique to the item. Most object Noble Phantasms are of this variety. Generally speaking, it is reasonable for your Master to have one or two Mystic Codes of variable strength--anything more than that is something that will have to come with more explanation than merely having a magical background.

Example of a Mystic Code

Here’s an example of a Mystic Code’s background: the Distillate Chalice. This withered old thing--a decrepit object, hardly capable of holding liquid within its container. Yet, by the grace of its runic inlay, it acts as a Bounded Field that separates the liquid within from the world without. As a matter of fact, it can only contain liquid--as such, any solid forms of any size, even bacteria, will be immediately expunged from its form. This Bounded Field can be expanded by the assistance of a magus, turning it into a cylinder of water that excludes all solid matter from it--essentially the perfect parrying tool. It was found in an ancient monastery by the sea, surrounded by desiccated, toothless corpses--it’s surmised that their teeth ripped themselves from their skull in attempting to partake of the water within.

Because of the nature of Mystery, Masters do not need to come from any of the timelines within the Fate/ universe. As such, please do not create a Master with relations to any of the major characters within the Fate/ franchises--though it is perfectly fine if they come from a timeline where events such as the Great Grail War took place, or even timelines where entirely different Grail Wars occurred--or none at all!

Servants

What is a Servant?

A Servant is a being who has achieved some form of greatness or renown within their life, and has found their place on the Throne of Heroes as a result. They are separated into 7 major Classes--6 of which are a part of each of the aforementioned Factions, accompanied by a Ruler who acts as a greatly enhanced version of the final major Class. These Classes are subdivided into the Three Knight Classes and the Four Cavalry Classes.

The Seven Classes, and Rulers

Saber

Sabers are characterized by their extreme prowess on the battlefield and immense power. Their Class Skill is Antimagic, rendering most Magecraft almost totally harmless--they stand as exemplars of one-on-one combat, and as such have great advantage over those who would use Thaumaturgy rather than combat skills. Usually quite powerful in each of the major attributes. They are, however, required to use a sword--placing them at a disadvantage as far as clever combat goes. By far, the most straightforward Class.

Lancer

Second only to Sabers in terms of natural power, Lancers are similarly efficient combatants, with a minor twist. First and foremost, Lancers are exceedingly agile, moreso than their Saber counterparts. Secondly, they have a far greater berth of abilities and Skills, and often have weapons with secret, deleterious effects like the Gae Bolg, or Gae Dearg. Also blessed with Antimagic as a Class Skill, along with a degree of Independence--allowing, as a base, for all Lancers to function for a full day without the energy from their Master. They must, however, use some sort of polearm--making them similarly dedicated to close combat, like the Saber.

Archer

The final Knight Class, Archers are distinguished by their usage of long ranged weaponry. While they are weaker than Lancers or Sabers, they are blessed with a startlingly high Independence Skill--allowing Archers to go completely without their Masters for days at a time. Moreover, their Noble Phantasms often totally outstrip all others. They are capable of using long ranged weapons, though it need not always be the case--most of the time, though, they are artillery specialists that rain hell from extremely long distances.

Rider

The first and most fitting Cavalry Class, Riders are the conquerors, the warmasters, the trailblazers. Extremely mobile and characterized by their Riding Skill, Riders are capable of synergizing with their mounts in ways that give them immense advantages in the field. Other than having said mount, Riders also often have exceedingly strong Noble Phantasms, and, moreover, no weapons to which they must adhere like the Knight Classes.

Berserker

Berserkers are the most phenomenally powerful Class. Exchanging their sanity for the Mad Enhancement Class Skill, Berserkers are masters of slaughter--while their Noble Phantasms are often passive in nature, it is usually in order to grant them immensely greater power on the battlefield, or even stave off death. Masters almost always end up using at least one Command Seal when in possession of a Berserker Servant.

Assassin

Assassins are one of, if not the most esoteric Class. Usually consisting of the Hassan-i-Sabbah, the first assassins, this Class is characterized by its opportunistic nature. Bearing low combat skills because of their lack of illustrious legends, Assassins prefer to target Masters over other Servants, using underhanded tactics in order to achieve the upper hand. A very technical Class, blessed with Presence Concealment--a common tool among assassins.

Caster

Casters--the plotters, the tacticians, the schemers. The final of the Cavalry Classes, they are the most magically inclined class by a great measure, and in being so, they are also the weakest physically. Casters are often from the Age of Gods, but more specifically, Casters are fashioned from the tales and legends of great magi and amazing minds that astounded the world with their magic and intellect. Given Terrain Creation as a Class Skill, Casters often fashion for themselves a domain--a Workshop of sorts where they can create their wonders and bring woe upon their enemies. The Class for the clever and mischievous.

Ruler

There are few as memorable and immensely gifted as the Rulers. Rulers were, in the context of normal Holy Grail Wars, arbiters of the Grail that would protect the sanctity of its trial at all costs. In this instance, a Ruler is an arbiter of the enigmatic Heavenly Grail, and as a result is not alone--seven conceptions of the Heavenly Grail exist, and with it seven Rulers, all vying for the completion of the War. Within the confines of the Heavenly Grail War, Rulers stand in as the greatest summon of a Faction--the Scarlet Lancer, Sable Assassin, Argent Rider, Azure Saber, Violet Caster, and Gilt Archer are all counted as Rulers. Rulers are granted two Command Seals for all of the Servants within their given Faction, and all of them possess a greatly weakened version of True Name Discernment--while they are capable of discerning the names of their constituents, and Classes of other Servants, they cannot learn the names of other Servants. Generally speaking, Rulers have Skills that are often in a class all their own--and while these Skills aren’t usually offensive in nature, they are nonetheless to be greatly feared.

Avenger

Servants who never should have existed. Each Avenger is distinct among its peers, and Class Skills are hardly indicative of what an Avenger is capable of. In this regard, the Clay Berserker is an Avenger. Little is known about its characteristics beyond its existence. Its status as a Ruler, moreover, is unknown; it may or may not have Command Seals.

Creating a Servant

Parameters & You

In the Fate/ franchise, there is an attempt to categorize beings by their Parameters, which are graded on an E-A scale. Much of this scale is redundant and asinine, and will not be used. In exchange, parameters will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and it will be generally assumed--in most cases--that Servants are around the same power level within their same Class. In lieu of Parameters, we will be using a Strengths, Weaknesses, and Fatal Flaws system, coupled with a simplified Attribute system.
Attributes are a greatly pared down version of the Fate/ Parameter system--of which your character will have 3 “positive” and 2 “negative” Attributes.
These Attributes are Physique, Skill, Agility, Mana, and Luck. Having a “positive” Attribute means that they will, of course, supersede another Servant’s “negative” Attribute during relevant combat encounters. Two Servants who clash with Attributes that align--two “positive” or two “negative”--will cancel each other out, and will need to take a different approach. Moreover, Attributes can be buffed and debuffed into Neutral, Double Positive, or Double Negative states, the effects of which are self-explanatory.

Strengths, Weaknesses, and Fatal Flaws

Strengths are--obviously--the vital abilities that substantiate a Servant. Combat skills, diplomatic abilities, Magecraft, physical prowess, dexterity, speed--all of these are examples of Strengths that Servants can possess. Knowledges, similarly, are considered Strengths. The peerless combat of Arturia Pendragon, for instance, is a Strength, as is the Magecraft of Semiramis. These Strengths are useful for doing unorthodox moves or performing physical and magical feats beyond what the Attribute system can express.
Weaknesses are places where Servants falter, capacities that can be exploited to gain the upper hand against a specific Servant. Just as Strengths are meaningful, so too must be Weaknesses. These are vulnerabilities that must be accounted for, and should be related to their defeats and failures in life. For every two Strengths, there should be at least one Weakness. Optimally, I’d like a 3:2 ratio!
Fatal Flaws are the equal and opposite facet to the Noble Phantasm. All heroes, eventually, come undone by the hands of time, fate, or another. Fatal Flaws are deep weaknesses that severely hinder--or even outright kill--a Servant. Every Servant has at least one, usually related to the quality of their being or the cause of their death. Every Servant must have one Fatal Flaw. The Fatal Flaw is easier to suss out once they have activated a Noble Phantasm, or their True Name has been otherwise revealed.

Skills & Noble Phantasms

Skills are, in short, preternaturally attuned abilities that all Servants carry in one way or another. This can be anything from the Mind’s Eye--the ability to perceive the unseen and avoid dangers--to Terrain Creation, the ability to manifest and fashion zones of one’s personal domain. These are usually preternatural in nature, and it is perfectly fine to use ones from the Fate/ wiki article on the subject.
Noble Phantasms are immensely powerful abilities that hearken back to the story of the Heroic Spirit--as a result, they are also the method by which True Names can often be discerned. Often, Servants have three Noble Phantasms, each one stronger than the last. For the sake of simplicity, I have divided the many nomenclatures of Noble Phantasms into five categories: Anti-Being, Anti-Status, Treasure, Thaumaturgical, and Esoteric Phantasms.

The Five Noble Archetypes

I.Anti-Being Noble Phantasms are Noble Phantasms that target people specifically--they are the most direct kind of power, and are intended to kill, maim, or debilitate other Servants or Masters--or even bystanders, depending on its function. These also include Phantasms that target specific aspects of a being, such as the mind or the soul.
II.Anti-Status Noble Phantasms target qualities of being--that is to say, Divine beings or objects, or Draconic beings or objects, or so on. These Noble Phantasms can also target other Noble Phantasms that fulfill its prerequisites.
III.Treasure Noble Phantasms are simply that--immensely valuable objects that often carry passive effects--or even activated effects--that set them apart from normal objects. These can be weapons, jewelry, even prosthetics--should the Servant have a story revolving around the loss of a limb. Simply holding one of these Phantasms can sometimes be enough to trigger True Name Discernment in a Ruler, but that is only for particularly famous weapons. Otherwise, they must be activated first. Treasure Phantasms can activate in the capacity in any one of the other four archetypes.
IV.Magecraft Noble Phantasms are directly related to Thaumaturgy, amplified manyfold by being a crystallized Mystery. These can consist of a variety of different effects--immensely powerful curses, the fashioning of overwhelmingly large and powerful domains, or even creating Reality Marbles.
V.Esoteric Phantasms are the strange and powerful Phantasms that are hard to fit into any other category. Conceptual Phantasms, which embody a concept, such as the concept of undeath, or the concept of impalement, fall under Esoteric Phantasms. Transformative Phantasms, moreover, also fall under the umbrella of Esoteric Phantasms.

An example of a Noble Phantasm

A good example of a Noble Phantasm: The Impenetrable Necropolis. A domain created by the Caster Khafre, it is the replication of his final resting place--one of the Great Pyramids of Giza. From it, Khafre can manifest great and ancient Magecraft, and it serves to hold dominion over his own death. Within the Crypt, he is simultaneously a mortal being and an aspect of pharohood, and as such cannot be killed by regular means. Instead, one must either strip him of his divinity or strike him down with an anti-divine weapon. Within the tomb, he can summon jackals, cranes, and other auspicious beings of Egyptian myth to bring woe upon his foes, and bring the many statues and carvings to life. This, moreover, includes the Sphinx.

Rulers as Player Characters

Currently, the Scarlet Faction is open for characters to create, save for the Scarlet Ruler. I endeavor to have control over three of the total Rulers, and leave the rest for single players to take over. Rulership is something like a co-GM, in that you act as the leader of one of the other Factions, and I will approach you if I want to offer you a spot as a Ruler!

~The Rules~

1. No Gatekeeping!
The Fate/ series is big. It has a lot of people who have invested themselves in varying amounts to the fandom and their understanding of Fate/. What I don’t want to see is people snubbing others because they don’t know some obscure fact about the Nasuverse!
2. There are no dumb questions.
I tried my very best to make this setting as approachable as possible, but even then there are things I missed or failed to properly explain! Please ask questions if you have them--the Discord is a great place to get to know others and ask me anything you’d like to know.
3. Your party is your friend.
I really can’t stress this enough. Please join the Discord and please get involved with other players! We can’t make this story happen without you. Everyone’s equally valuable--I’m just the GM that put this story together! It’s nothing without people to get involved in it.
4. “Have fun” is not a rule!
If you’re not having fun, or not feeling involved, you gotta talk to people! I am absolutely dedicated to helping people feel like they’re having a good time, but I’m not perfect and I’ll do everything in my power to accommodate you.
5. Do what you love.
Don’t make a character that you think I’ll like--make a character that’s uniquely you and makes you happy and excited to write. This isn’t a talent show or a competition--I want to give every player a fair shake and a chance to do the crazy stuff they feel like they can’t do in other roleplays. That being said…
6. Don’t be a creeper!
I know, Fate/ is a historical waifu simulator, but I really don’t want people to go around buying girlfriends like it’s 2000s Runescape. This is, at its core, a real deal venture and creeping other people out is a big no-no! Please make an effort to make your character feel larger than life, rather than making them feel like a pinup.
7. Don’t think “power.” Think “interesting.”
While Fate/ is very, very easy to turn into a high-power excursion into just how easily the universe can be broken, I’d really like it if people would exercise restraint in favor of characters being balanced and interesting! I’m much more interested in weird powers than I am outrageous ones. Taking rule 5 into account, this means that while I want you to express yourself, remember that the power level needs to be within reason, and any extravagant powers need to have reasonable drawbacks! If you ever have a question about power levels, I handle things on a case-by-case basis--we’ll talk it out and see how everyone else feels, and ultimately I’ll come to a decision! The nature of Servants makes their power levels a little nebulous and flexible, so it kind of has to go by feel rather than objectivity.

Scarlet Rider, will be fleshed out

Genghis Khan

---

"A man's greatest work is to break his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them all the things that have been theirs, to hear the weeping of those who cherished them, to take their horses between his knees and to press in his arms the most desirable of their women."

_Class

---

Scarlet Rider

_{True Name}

---

Temäidjin Genghis Khan, Scourge of Gods

_Gender

---

Female

_Appearance

---

Few people could seem more brutal and frightening than Scarlet Rider, despite her height of 5'4, weight of 132lbs and even gender. With her piercing, emerald gaze, she's seemingly capable to stare people down to kneel, such an aggressive and hostile gaze that makes even the bravest to shiver in fear.

Her long, pine-colored hair is tied up in a ponytail, falling down her entire back and ending by her kneecaps, only a few bangs left in her face. A few minor scars adorned her face, truly showing that she's no stranger to battle, though it doesn't quite ruin her otherwise beauty. The pale lips reveal that she's not one that usually spend a lot of time to maintain a certain level of beauty like a princess or nobleswoman would, instead she seems more to be a free and loose cannon type.

Otherwise, she seems to be unremarkable, given her short, light form, somewhat muscular limbs and slightly calloused hands, one could mistake her for a farmsgirl if one ignored her hard, commanding face and lethal eyes.

_Personality

---

Scarlet Rider comes in as a commanding warrior that seeks to stand at the top. She does not see any use for her as a servant or lesser being, and as such she may seem carefree and loose when not in command; even to the point that she outright refuses to give a damn about the Grail or any enemies. Either she commands or she just goes along.

In battle, she's brutal, vicious, ferocious and dangerous, showing no regards for the health of their allies as long as they can push on to victory. However, she's not foolishly bold either, should she see the hopelessness in a fight, she'd rather pull back, gather strength for a new battle on more preferable grounds. A true sign of her experience in battles, warfare and strategy.

Outside of battle however, she's more than willing to joke around, flirt about and tease those she considers friends much like her old brethren did, and she values camptalk above anything else in pursuit of loyalty. Should she not get along with someone, she'll change strategy; loyalty through relentless fear. A big fan of the ends justifying the journey style of leadership, and it has without doubt worked for her. Unless you're Chinese. Then she'll scorn you.

_{Strengths and Weaknesses}

---

Through the years of battle, conquest and warfare, she's attained an aptitude for both Leadership and Tactics. She a very, very capable leader that people end up desiring to follow, and her proficiency in finding flaws in opposing strategies is almost unparalleled. Few people could lead as well as the Scourge of Gods, and even fewer if any could wreak any similar havoc.
Her Brutality on the battlefield alone is enough to get any a man quivering, something she loves. A frightened foe is a weaker foe, and bringing fright over her foes is simply what she does. By reputation and action.

Arrogance is a weakness she has attained over time. Some might call it the arrogance of experience, and for all her planning and perfected proceedures, she's still prone to underestimating her opponent.
Another more decisive weakness she might have is her utter lack of respect of any Chinese loyalist from upstanding families. Neither respect nor willingess to side with their kind, simply fighting side-by-side with a Chinese will obstruct her combat focus.

_{Fatal Flaw}

---

Her majestic steed is both her strength and greatest weakness. Should it fall in battle, she's rendered much, much weaker, as her Tsugaan Mori requires the presence of her Queen of Horses. Should she die, the steeds of Tsugaan will no longer follow her, and the result would be chaos.

_Origin

---

Born in the cold, harsh wasteland of the Mongolian steppes with a clot of blood, the young Temäidjin lived fairly peacefully (in their people's eyes) in the first few years. Taught by her father and her brethren in the Mongolian way, all from warfare to common life, she had a fairy happy life. Once in a while she even got to watch or even participate in one of the many bloody disputes her father had with the local tribes.

Bloodshed and combat was everyday, and there was seemingly no end to it in the wastelands. This however changed drastically with the fall of her father, chieftain of their tribe, with a succssful assassination plot and sudden takeover by one of his most trusted of Mangudai. And of course, his first act was to throw Temäidjin and her kin out, removing all potential challengers to the Khanate of the tribe.

Following this sudden betrayal came years in the wilderness without anyone else but themselves to rely on. Her mother perished no long after of starvation, and times were rough. Bandits, cold steppes and even tribesmen came by every once in a while, forcing them to hide or find shelter from the harsh environment. In retrospect, the Conqueror finds gratefulness to the eternal sky for blessing her with such hardships, allowing her to evolve and learn new methods of survival to overcome any adversity life has planned for her. One of these adversities included her assassinating her older brother to make sure her claim when she would eventually return to her tribe was the truest, and her other brothers agreed.

Many years after their first attempt at the solitary life came the first ray of hope to the family, with a few local bandits being bested in a surprise ambush by them. Instead of killing them however, they recruited them to their cause, bolstering their numbers. One of the bandits were even a former blacksmith and fletcher, which came in handy with the production of weapons.

Following this, she began scouring the wilds for more nomads and bandits, recruiting them all to her cause. And with every step, her new tribe of battle-hardened, vicious men grew larger, and larger, and larger. And finally came the time to test her new military might against the already existing tribes, taking her bows and horses to the smaller tribes. Success followed one after another, and before long she had enough military power to make all of Mongolia kneel.

It was well about time for the warrior princess to take her role, the role of Great Khan. But first, the conquest of her father's tribe. And the first revelation of her brutality came known to the Chinese world, for she knew they were spying and stirring up in-fights between the tribes, she knew the divide and conquer method. She used the spies against them.

With the fall of the old tribe came the first duel she was to hold on fair grounds. She wanted vengance against the first of Mangudai, and she wanted it with her own hands. Stories say the battle was so one-sided, controlled by the fury of Gods themselves, that Temäidjin brutally and viciously chopped him up, cut him to pieces and served his limbs for dinner to his closest men that still lived, forcing it down their throats. And right after, the Horde kneeled to their new Khan. The Genghis Khan.

Now with the Mongolian steppes united under one banner, the warhungry and vengeful Khan looked to the South, to the great walls of China. She had nothing but hatred for these pompous fools, with their arrogant schemes and manipulation of the world around while sitting nice and happy behind these massive walls that no man or woman had ever broken.

Genghis decided enough was enough, it was time to do the impossible, ignoring her counsel's pleas to stop now. Beating the Chinese is impossible, they said, and we have no ways of getting through the masonry. Genghis replied, "if it's impossible then the Eternal Sky will accept me upon my death to these, for I will try nonetheless. And if you have no spine, then you have no use to me."

And so came the great wars. The wars that shaped the world with brutality, slaughter and death unlike any other ever seen, wars so gruesome that unruly children were told that Genghis would come for them if they did not behave. Stories everyone knows.

_Attributes

Physique: [-]
Skill: [+]
Agility: [+]
Mana: [+]
Luck: [-]

_Skills

---

Class Skills:
-Riding: A+
“Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard.”
A true mongol master any horse, and can bring out the full potential of it's control. And Genghis is no less than the truest of true mongols, able to control any mount within the real world with ease.

-Magical Resistance: B-
“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
Although few knows how she was born, some claim a clot of blood and meat appeared alongside her. It is a sign for someone destined to greatness amongst the shamanistic Mongols, as well as a blessing from the eternal blue sky. And Genghis' blessing was a soft resistance to magical users, capable of dispelling low-rank spells with ease.

Personal Skills:
-Aptitude for Slaughter: B+
“All who surrender will be spared; whoever does not surrender but opposes with struggle and dissension, shall be annihilated.”
The endless raids of mongol invaders were synonymous with slaughter, the intention to massacrate corrupted minds for the greater good followed Genghis. And Genghis perfected the art. By using her crafty techniques and methods, she'll utilize her wits to equip her arrows with various substances depending on the situation, be it mild paralyctic poison for specific targets or explosives for groups of foes, giving them a lethal sting to her barbed arrows.

-Military Tactics: A-
“In the space of seven years I have succeeded in accomplishing a great work and uniting the whole world in one Empire.”
Genghis is a brilliant tactical mind, born in a world of savagery and nomadry. The first woman to pierce through the mighty Wall of China, as well as assimilate large landscapes under her banner, she's known to bring forth waves of hurt against enemy forces. As such, when in combat against an Anti-Army or Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm, she recieves a combat bonus.

-Charisma: A
"Heaven grew weary of the excessive pride and luxury of China... I am from the Barbaric North. I wear the same clothing and eat the same food as the cowherds and horse-herders. We make the same sacrifices and we share.. our riches. I look upon the nation as a new-born child and I care for my soldiers as though they were my brothers."
It was neither strength nor technological advantages nor strategical minds that truly brought the Mongol Empire to life, it was Ghengis' skill with words and diplomacy that gathered the hordes together under one frightening banner. And her ability to bring life to any dreading warrior was unrivaled all over Eurasia.

_{Noble Phantasm}

---

Name: Tsugaan Mori
Title: My Spoils of War, Ride Forth
Type: Anti-Army
Quote: "Be of one mind and one faith, that you may conquer your enemies and lead long and happy lives."
Description: Genghis just like her people loved collecting horses and trading with them. Over her years, she collected a grand scale of beautiful, white manes and mares that she even took along with her in death. And now, ressurected as a Noble Phantasm, when Genghis blows her mighty warhorn, her trusted steeds appear beside her and follow her wherever she rides, amounting to a great charge equal to her hordes' conquest over the Arabian world. As a grand ocean of white, any viewer is both awed and frightened by this seemingly divine-looking charge, the clashing white waves crashing onto her enemy.

Name: Chagaan Chad
Title: The Mighty Bow Of The Horsewoman Conqueror
Type: Treasure
Quote: "One arrow alone can be easily broken but many arrows are indestructible."
Description: The bow that Genghis crafted in early days and that long outlived her own body, this mighty bow is known for it's ability to fire arrows at a highly rapid pace. And when truly unleashed, every arrow fired doubles up in amount of arrows every 0.1 seconds, releasing a torrential volley matching that of her massive hordes' arrow volleys over longer distances. Given that her standard arrows fly about 100 meters a second, an enemy standing estimately 100 meters away will face a dominant rain of about 1024 arrows, whereas closer enemies will face lesser but far more pinpoint accurate arrows. A truly terrifying weapon, worthy of a general and commander that took the small nomadic people into forming the greatest knit-together empire the world has ever seen.

Name: Tseneglegch
Title: Steed Of The Conqueror
Type: Anti-Unit (Mount)
Quote: "Come and sip from the cup of destruction."
Description: The prideful steed that Genghis rides, the steed she rode into the conquest of China, is a beautiful, white horse much like her other beloved mounts. When this mighty warhorse rides into battle, the sounds of a Mongolian cavalry charge echoes through the areas, as if their entire army joins Genghis in battle. The very sound itself is enough to shake up even the most calm and collected minds, filling them with doubt, fear and worry, and the rupturing volume up close is enough to even dull out the enemy's sense of hearing.

Tseneglegch

_Belongings

The Chain of the Khan is still wrapped around her shoulders, an item that signified her status and role. Forged specifically of the Greatest of Khans, only few prior had ever worn it. And no one since, for upon her death her advisors and counsellors gathered and agreed none is more fitting to carry the chain back to the Mother in the Eternal Blue Sky.

[Rai]

Ziton

A thin lad who had scars on his body from a early life of hardship.
He smiles despite this making his wounds disappear in your mind as you talk to him.

Name: Ziton Aag
Servant: ???
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8
Weight: 140
Personality: He has an air of elegance to him as he stands at posture at nearly all times. He is light on his feet and walks nearly bare foot with a natural stance. He has eyes that seem to be reading a good book when looking at someone. This coupled with his nonchalant way of speaking makes him appear arrogant at times. Though he refrains from insulting people, he prefers to let his actions speak for themselves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths: Dexterity. Flexibility. Swordsmanship. Grappling.
Weaknesses: He isn't very heavy and can be easily picked up or thrown back. Too much blood forces him to hallucinate and often times frenzy, attacking allies or whatever he sees until he passes out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Background: A street rat from the southwest of India, Kerala, during 600 CE and like most of his kind he decided to run in packs. One was his older sister Aela. He was then picked up by a practitioner of Kalaripayattu. This trainer worked with soldiers and warriors to improve their technique in this style. There are three schools of Kalari. 1) Arappa kayy 2) Pilla Thangi 3) Vatta thiripp and he was a master of all three. Except he had no children of his own and adopted Aela and Ziton.

He found the religion Hinduism. Attaining peace whilst practicing the three forms of Kalari. Elements from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, as well as finger movements in the nata dances, are incorporated into the fighting art. Some of the choreographed sparring in kalaripayat can be applied to dance and so Ziton has learned to flow with elegance and finesse while in combat. Kalaripayattu also includes strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, weaponry and healing methods.

Regional variants are classified according to geographical position in Kerala; these are the Northern style from Malabar region in north Kerala practiced by the Central style from inner Kerala and the southern style from Thiruvitankoor. Northern kalaripayattu is based on elegant and flexible movements, evasions, jumps and weapons training, while the southern "Adi Murai" style primarily follows the hard impact based techniques with priority on empty hand fighting and pressure point strikes. Both systems make use of internal and external concepts.

It was when he learned of Agastya, one of the seven or eight most revered rishis in the Vedic texts, did he learn of magic. Agastya is also regarded as the founder and patron saint of southern kalaripayat, silambam and varmam -an ancient science of healing using varmam points for varied diseases. Once his talents was known to the sages they taught him what he knew about diseases, healing and magic.

He has used a sword and shield during his battles. He fought many times against Kushan slavers and helped heal the wounded. His main reason for surviving was due to his special Kukri. A Nepali blade meant to be used in a thousand battles. It is said to have been wielded by the first smith to create the blade's curved rounded shape. His master offered him this weapon to keep him safe, as it was passed down in his family. With this blade he was able to cut deeper and easier into flesh.

Ziton was only 17 at this time and was able to hold his own. He found his friends dying and was forced to seek inner peace from the sage to heal his mind. In slowly enlightening himself he was able to divide his perceived negative emotions and thoughts from the perceived good. Then he would become overwhelmed by the negative and tap into a savage enhancing magic he dubbed shadow skill. The negatives however were by way of hallucinations and a frenzy at the sight of too much blood. Forcing him to rely on learning magic rather than just the sword.

Through his studies he was able to find the location of one of the old treasures of Agastya. The golden bead he wore on his forehead. It was in the temple where he was said to have taught and enlightened many. Only by way of force did he achieve this item and has been using it to find more sources of magic. He has been disowned by his adopted father and master and renounced the peaceful nature of his religion despite naturally following most of its doctrines in his life.
-------------------------------------------------------
Abilities: He is agile and flexible even able to slip out of most binds. His body is honed and thin so he has decent strength despite his size so he is able to strike with force higher than his own body weight given the correct motion. He uses a light small shield with a re directive curve to its smooth copper surface. He is a skilled dancer as well, even with fire.

He had learned how to manipulate pressure points for various reasons. To paralyze, to cause pain, to soothe and heal others or himself. In fights he typically uses it to strike at specific areas so over a short period of time he can cripple an opponent. This is if his strikes are successful.

Thaumaturgies: Shadow Skill - With the inability to balance his negative side from his positive he has found a possessive power that has cursed him. He is able to increase his strength and speed physically but his body does not become more resistant and may likely hurt himself. If he is able to charge mana by meditating for a period of time he is able to activate a more balanced version of this enhancing spell. In this state he is able to sense events into the future, sometimes up to 30 seconds.

Angel Dance - He was able to learn how to manipulate flames by fire dancing with lighting alcohol on his blade. He is able to maintain the flames and even blow it up to several feet as well as control its trajectory. He can also manipulate fire that's around him. He can also make the fire last longer by feeding it his Od.

Pressure Point - With his Od he can plant his concentrated magic into points he strikes on peoples bodies to either relieve them of stress or cripple them. Either way it is mostly painless when he does this and relies on periodic strikes in succession. He can also apply this to himself somewhat to reduce pain.

Elemental Affinities: Earth & Fire
Command Seals: On his right arm.
----------------------------------
Personal Effects: His clean white attire is what he wears most. A white button down thats long sleeved on the left arm and sleeveless on the right. White gloves and pants. Barefoot with a white strap from his wide legged pants going around them. Two ear rings and a emerald ring on his right ring finger. This is usually what he wears.
Mystic Codes:
King Kukri - A blade handed down through many generations meant to last for a thousand battles. It has yet to dull and has a very sharp edge. It is impervious to anything that would damage it.

Third eye of Agastya - He has a golden artifact that he can place on his forehead. Once this is done this allows him to see with "clairvoyance" the direction to whatever he desired. A trail or signal is put before his eyes, sometimes footsteps, sometimes just a path of aura, either way it leads him to where he wants to go. He can easily remove this sight by removing the jewelry.

[Seirei No Hai]

Li Huojin

Li Huojin

Servant: -
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Height: 171.78 (5'8 ft)
Weight: 41 kg (90 lbs)

Personality: Li Huojin didn't get her title as The Heiress in the Chinese Mafia for nothing. She is as ruthless as she is merciless, shown to the real world's dark side as a young child by her criminal parents, she sees the entire world as a place of opportunity, a place where she gets to decide everything through threatening the local populace with what seems to be an army of mobsters that rule a district in China.

She only has a bored look plastered on her face, one could see her either as a delinquent, or a cool person given her listless look. She also likes to put both her hands in the pockets of her jacket mainly because she thinks that waving your hands on the side in sync with her walking style looks "girly or too normal" as if assuming she isn't one herself. She speaks in a cold, monotone voice to anyone she meets and doesn't show nearly enough emotion besides that.

When in combat, she yells or just bursts out her rage at people, preferring the guns first before her magecraft and Miaodao, whenever she's out of bullets, she goes forth and uses the latter two. She's also trigger-happy, to the point where even one insult could make her immediately want to drown them in their own pool of blood. This includes her "Shoot-First-Questions-Later" attitude that is clearly present whenever she's in an argument. She wins by the bullet if the person arguing isn't careful with his or her words. Because of this, she underestimates people with no renown of sorts.

Strengths:
- She is an adept at Kung Fu.

- She has received training in the use of Eastern Weapons.

- She has received basic training in sidearms such as sub-machine guns and pistols.

- She is very agile.

- She is an expert in Fire Magecraft.


Weaknesses:

- She can't take heavy hits.

- She can be overwhelmed by aggressive pressure.

- Because of her Sorcery Trait: Blackfire, she expends prana faster than most magi.

- She has a slow recovery rate due to the lack of Healing Thaumaturgy.

Background: Li Huojin's place of birth was Beijing, China. She did not have an early, peaceful childhood… as soon as she was born, she was told she would be a "killing machine" for the family's reputation across China. She seemed happy for it, giggling constantly, but this was when she was still oblivious, she didn't know what she was getting into until her progress to her early childhood… the stage of a child where the young one must learn all moral values to live a prosperous life on Earth.

Her stage is far from that, as soon as she was able to read and write on her own she was misdirected by her own mother to go to the park for a little break, only to smell gunsmoke as they reached the intended location, she saw people killed for the very first time as a child, blood splattering all over the ground as a gang war erupted in front of them. She was not crying, nor was she trembling… but otherwise, interested, her eyes widened in curiosity as soon as the last of the opposing force died, walking to the bodies of the dead she can't help but feel the life that once filled her eyes fade away as she walked back to her mother and the returning group of the men in suits. The Killing Intent was within her, no question.

Eventually, the Crest of the Huojin family was passed unto her, her entire body would be filled to the brim with Prana and it was also during this time where she began her training in Magecraft, use of Firearms, and training in martial arts as well as the proper use of a specific weapon exclusive to the Asian nations.

She grew older along with the fame of the Black Lotus Triads around China's most famous places in the richer and urban districts of each of the cities. Her sins have grown when she started killing her first person at fifteen and the kill count kept racking up until she was infamously recognized as the Heiress of the Lotus in Beijing.

Abilities:

Kung Fu - Li Huojin stopped as a Red Belt in Kung Fu, she was denied the chance to move further up because of various tensions surrounding her family and the school. Nevertheless, she kept her teaching to heart and will use them if she has to.

Swordsmanship (Miaodao Training) - Li Huojin was taught how to use a Miaodao as she underwent her training as a "Killing Machine", which was later replaced to the Heiress.

Parkour Expert - Li has the agility and speed of a parkour expert. She is able to jump any gap that isn't too large for her, or perhaps climb a tall wall quicker than others.

Thaumaturgies:

Tainted Flames - A stronger, hotter variant of Fire Magecraft that changes the appearance of a bright orange flame now darkened with dark bluish aura that radiates a heat similar to that of a furnace. However, such magecraft require double the amount of od/prana put into it than its regular variant. This is an exclusive thaumaturgy to the Huojin family because of their Sorcery Trait: Blackfire.

Witchcraft (Blood Magic) - While not inherently an expert on the whole thing. She keeps the "blood" of various living creatures in a basic Mystic Code, an amethyst that preserves the essence of a single curse to be applied to someone in the form of physical contact such as kissing.

Elemental Affinities: Fire

Command Seals: Left Hand

Personal Effects: Li Huojin carries around a whip, it is a simple whip with durable material.

Sorcery Trait: Blackfire - A Trait passed down from the Huojin family. The Trait grants the bearer a significant change in the Thaumaturgy they practice in line with their affinities, changing its appearance first and foremost then the effect that comes after. Its effect drastically increases depending on how many have been killed using the magecraft in question, in turn... the prana required increases as well.

Mystic Codes:

Umbral Lotus - A mystic code in the form of a Miaodao, created by the Huojin Family and is passed down from generation to generation. The Mystic Code absorbs any elemental affiliated attack and can be used against them until it the magic inside it drains out.

Essence Preserver - A simple Mystic Code that preserves the essence of something for a lifetime. This is used to hold Li Huojin's various blood magic curses before it can be filled again.

[GreenGoat]

Frederica Bernstein

Name: Frederica Bernstein

Servant: -

Age: 22

Gender: female

Appearance:

Hider

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

Height: 172cm

Weight: 57kg

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

Strengths: Her family focuses mostly on formalcrafts, and as such could enact vastly superior rituals and circles with far less resources than most other families, as well as having a very wide array of rituals to choose from. Due to her drawing using her prana for the rituals that needed an actual magic circles, her control on her magecraft, prana and her magic circuits was exceptional.

Weaknesses: While being from an old family, her circuits weren't really anything spectacular, being just above average. As a family that focused mostly on formal crafts, beyond the basics, she had no real large thaumaturgies she could really cast. While she could use reinforcement, she wasn't really great in close range considering she didn't learn any sort of martial art in detail.

Background: She comes from modern times, after the 5th Grail War, though Frederica knows nothing of it, considering it wasn't an important ritual as far as the Clock Tower was concerned. Her family had always been the reclusive types, though they were known to the Mage's Association, thus she had lived in Germany for as long as she knew, learning her family's secrets and memorizing all the different rituals, the techniques involved in the rituals themselves and even how to condense them. They believed that some day they will be able to reach the Root should they manage to fabricate a ritual that allowed them to do so.

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

Perhaps it was just as well, for she, like most of her family, had no real interest in getting involved with the politics of the outside world, much less the politics going on in the Mages' Association.

Even so, she did have to fend off would be thieves every now and then, though 'fend off' may be too strong a choice in words, considering her bounded fields and numerous traps set through her magic circles did most of the work. It was because of the golden branch with seven gems upon it, said to the a Hourai Branch. It came into her family a long time ago, bought from a Dutch sailor for a princely sum, and had remained in their possession ever since.

Abilities: She has exceptional talent in art as well as a very good memory, allowing her to draw accurately any sort of landscapes she had seen. While her athleticism leaves much to be desired, she was quick of wit and observant of her surrounding. Her cooking ability extends as far as instant ramen and boiling water; it is akin to a disaster should she be asked to make anything more complex than that.

Thaumaturgies: A variety of Formalcrafts, ranging from ones passed down and recorded from ancient times to ones the Bernstein family had developed themselves. A simple one could simply be taking a bundle of hair, invoking a name and blowing upon them, while the more complex can take up to a day in incantation alone. One of her best rituals involves absorbing all the prana in the environment and amplify it for further use, depending on what else she drew upon the circle. More often than not, she would usually use that to power something else, though that was rare, considering her relatively peaceful life.

Elemental Affinities: Water

Command Seals: 3, on her right upper side of her chest, looking like three triangles interlocked with one another.

Personal Effects: She has a Mateba revolver, some .454 ammo for it, a few small bundles of hair, black etching talons, silver feathers, small pebbles, small bones, and generally a lot of ritualistic items.

Mystic Codes: A family heirloom, the Hourai Branch - Perhaps not actually a branch from the mythical land of Hourai, it certainly did look the part, having golden branches, and 7 different colored gems hanging upon it like small fruits. Despite looking frail, the 12 inch branch possesses unusual resilience as well as the flexibility of an actual live branch. It seemed to generate mana by its own, storing it in the gems, each glowing gently as it filled with mana. Stuck into a tree, it would instead turn that tree into a sort of a leyline. Of course, normal trees do not usually act as leylines, and thus that tree will die within two days. However, ancient trees could be used indefinitely. When used by a magus, the mana stored within can be used as they see fit. Frederica uses it to make different colored lines for her magic circles.

(WIP) NOTRUNNING AWAY IN SPANISH

Class: Scarlet Saber

True Name: Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, El Cid, El Compeador, The Prince of Valencia (Referred to as El Cid most Commonly)

Gender: Male

Appearance

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 198 lbs

Personality: A man of his honor, as well as a man who was adored by the peasants, Cid is a kindly, honorable man who would rather die than forsake a promise, or a friend. His noble upbringing gave him a taste for the finer things in life, but his childhood gave him the plentiful trouble bringing chances that came with the rambunctiousness of youth; As such, Cid is rather reserved when formality is required, but drops the guise of self importance when in privacy with another, often cracking playful jests, or engaging in drinking with them. Of course, the formality tends to stay up far longer around women. Medieval customs and his fond love for his wife have given him a reservation towards speaking so boisterously around them, and as such it may take more time for women to see that side of him.

A fan of sport and competition, Cid may occasionally ask a fellow servant to engage in a contest to pass the time, often expressing sincere surprise at being bested. This is not due to an amount of overconfidence in Cid's part, rather, it is more that in his entire life, he had never been directly defeated even once. A smile is typically present on his face, as even just being able to move once more, even shackled to Akasha, is a blessing in and of itself. He is however extremely embarrassed at his newfound gluttony as a heroic spirit, often being forced to carry heaps of food whenever needed to move to an area where they would be away from home for several days.

He is incredibly stubborn when it comes to battles against other enemy servants, often not wanting to admit defeat. He is the type of man to plan extensively before a battle, and collaborate with his fellow warriors to ensure minimal casualties, and maximum chance of victory. If a plan were to go awry, he would be willing to sacrifice himself to provide a way out, seemingly overconfident in his own abilities to overcome anything and everything.

Strengths:

• His skill with a sword is second to none as famous war hero with two blades firmly lodged into history and myth alike.
• Loyal to the end, it is unlikely that a command seal is necessary to control Cid's actions, save for emergencies, or if one wishes him to commit a dishonorable act against his code of chivalry.
• Due to being famous for various sieges in life, he is adept at taking down fortresses and various other types of fortifications.

Weaknesses:

• Chivalry's a bitch, and as such unless explicitly ordered to do so by a master he trusts, or forced by a command seal, Cid will fight one on one to the death if possible. Even against a demigod, he would still fight his hardest and regret nothing as he dies.
• Due to often fighting against opponents on foot, horseback, or in general in melee combat, he is at an extreme disadvantage at range, and his low Magic Resistance skill makes him an easy target for a powerful Caster.
• His mana consumption when using Tizona is extremely high, and as such will often only be able to use it for a small window of time before needing to sheath it, or end the battle soon.

Fatal Flaw: El Cid met his demise during the siege of Valencie, not by sword or bow, but by stomach. He died of Starvation, and as such his existence as a heroic spirit actually requires him to consume food. Rather than this being a simple weakness that merely inconveniences him, if Cid were to miss a meal, his parameters would begin dropping. If he went a day without eating, his Attributes would all become --, making him barely more powerful than a regular human physically. This also means that his mana intake is huge, and his efficiency rather low. After almost any given fight, Cid will need to eat or suffer huge penalties.

Origin: The legend of El Cid is one that has been recorded since the 11th century, a figure of power and military might, as well as a gentle father and unifier of all of Spain in the epic poem written about him. Due to the similarities of some major events, as well as the prominence of Tizona and Colada in the latter epic, this heroic spirit is a myriad of the two interpretations of El Cid, being unable to decipher for himself whether he is the fictional retelling or not.

Skills

[Please keep it to six or less! Also, remember that Skills exist to greater and lesser degrees. While you don’t have to use the grading system, I would like it if you’d put a plus or a minus next to the name to signify whether it’s a “strong” or a “weak” Skill, just like attributes.]
Magic Resistance C+ (Weak):"Magic...such a strange thing to be forgotten to warfare. I've never tasted it in life, but come, let this Knight of Castille have your best!"
In his life, El Cid never encountered magic save for the enchanted swords that he wields. As a Heroic Spirit grounded in mostly normal events, his Magic Resistance is relatively low, only existing due to his nature as a Saber class servant. However, due to his piety and visions of the Archangel Gabriel in a dream, he is slightly more resistant to magic that is used by Biblical servants.

Riding B (Weak): "Though you are not here, I remember our last ride together. Babieca, let my rein hand not slip!"
Though he lacks a mount of his own, Cid possesses sufficient skill to ride most mounts known to man. In life, he rode the stallion Babieca, who has been sealed off due to his class and instead functions as a Contingency Noble Phantasm.

Bravery B (Strong):"Defeat isn't a thought in my mind. Only through confidence and conviction can we prevail. Ha, were you expecting a cowardly Saber!?
As the man who is able to wield both Tizona and Colada, El Cid's mind is unshakable by mental effects such as Fear. Additionally, this makes his prowess with a sword all the more deadly, as he is unwavering in his strikes. If an opponent were to use a bizarre sword technique such as Tsubame-Gaeshi, he would likely attempt to face it head on. Whether it could be classified as bravery, or foolishness, the Knight of Valentia doesn't see defeat as a possibility when he is fighting.

Battle Continuation A(Strong):"So long as flesh clings to bone, my blade will not falter. Come- Let your last dance be with El Cid." Cemented from the legend of his corpse being put on horseback in order to break a siege, Cid's body is capable of bouncing back from all but surely fatal wounds. Even if his heart were to be destroyed completely, he would be able to retain full body movement for at least 10 minutes.

Brilliance of Cooperation B (Varies):"Hmm...quite the pickle we're in. Oh well. If we put our heads together, surely something will come of it!"
Famed for valuing his fellow soldier's opinions in upcoming battles, Cid's famous brainstorming sessions take root as a skill that is useless when he is alone. However, when around multiple individuals that are allied, whether they be servants or masters, the skill activates and seems to permeate an "Air of Agreeability and Clarity." While Cid himself likely won't come up with the battle-winning strategy, he is able to make other shine even more brilliantly in a calm environment.

Noble Phantasms

Tizona; Leño encendido de Fortuna (Fire Lit from Fortuna)

The true sword of El Cid, brought out only when an opponent proves to be worthy of it in his eyes. Colored a brilliant amber, the sword is a masterpiece forged from Damascus steel, through techniques long since forgotten to man, carrying a cup hilt separating the handle from the blade. The sword carries a curved cross guard etched with the phrase: "Yo soy la Tizona fue hecha en la era de mil e quarenta," on one side, the other saying: "Ave Maria gratia plena; dominus mecum". Only when both of these phrases are said aloud does the blade itself "activate". The Blade is three feet in length, in a shape comparable to an obelisk with a rectangular cross section tapering into a singular sharp point, with a fuller embedded into each of the four faces of the sword running halfway up. While inactivate, the blade retains its amber glow, only becoming a brilliant pure white when fully activated.

The Noble Phantasm gains its ability from the nature of its name, being originally called tizón in Cantar De Mio Cid, or Firebrand in Latin. By its name alone, it manifests as a burning rod of iron due to its actual appearance being lost to history. In similar works to Cid's Song, the Chanson de Geste typically featured the Muslim Moors and Berbers using magecraft on occasion, lending to the weapon's supernatural nature. The mere sight of Tizona is enough to drive a normal man to terror, and a weak servant may even find themself faltering completely at the sight of it. It is a sword that challenges all with its burning prominence, shining as the sun does when held overhead. The fire of Tizona can be extinguished when it is sheathed into its read leather scabbard, the outside of which is lined with green velvet.

Colada: ¡Valme, Dios glorioso, Señor, cúriam deste espada! (Help me, God, glorious Lord, and protect me from this sword!)

The second sword of Cid, and the one most often used. Due to its low Mana consumption, unless absolutely necessary or against a truly honorable opponent, Cid will default to this weapon. Colada was a weapon made of the purest steel imaginable with absolutely no impurities. The only noteworthy ability of Colada lies in its ability to completely ignore weaker materials as it cuts, moving through almost all metals as if they were water due to their impurities, and to break through magical protection just as easily. This is based on how in El Cantar de Mio Cid, the sword cut through chain, coif, cloth, and flesh in a singular blow delivered to Diego González by Martín Antolínez.

The sword itself is broad-bladed, with a cup hilt that surrounds the user's hand. The blade is four feet in length, and the steel is polished to such a degree that it shines a brilliant white, appearing silver even under the most unflattering of lighting.

Last Ride of El Cid

A noble phantasm that is sealed until the time of Cid's demise. Rather than immediately return to the throne, his free will is replaced with a singular directive of: "Break the line". Upon this Noble Phantasm activating, his class is forcibly changed to Rider before his steed in life, Babieca, materializes beneath him as a black stallion. Once mounted, Cid will endlessly charge forth until a path is secured for those he had fought beside, even if all that remains of Cid is a severed leg attached to the saddle.

Created from the moment where his corpse was placed upon a horse in legend to break an enemy siege line with his wife in tow, Cid recalls it differently; As a desperate act by a starving man to save the woman he loved more than any other. Rather than serving a destructive purpose, this power is most likely going to be used to save either his master, or another servant's own life by sacrificing his own.

Belongings: Cid carries very little with him from his life, save for his Noble Phantasms. However, one would find it easy to see that he wears a ring engraved with the names of his wife and two daughters, the ring itself a brilliant gold that glitters on his finger when worn. Beyond sentimental value, this ring matters little. A second ring is in his possession, a silver one with no markings upon it. A gift that he had given in marriage that resides now with him always, he wears it upon a taut string around his neck.

His garb is a mixture of formal wear of nobility, with vital areas being covered by a mixture of cloth and chain armor. He wears the pauldrons of a Knight of Aragon, the very same knight who he slew and then gained the title of El Compeador. When going into battle, he dons the full set of that Knight of Aragon's armor, re-fitted for himself and emblazoned with the crowns of Aragon along the length of the arms.

My Hider

Class: Scarlet Archer
True Name: Magoichi Saika
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Height: 5’3
Weight: 112

Personality: Magoichi is a confident and usually level-headed professional who revels in her freedom from laws or order. Firmly believing that the rifle will pave the new age of warfare, she is proud of her renegade's expertise and their mercenary life. Although she may seem smarmy and impartial, she is truly devoted to her friends and will help them if they need it. If they are in danger in anyway, she will forgo profit and join with which ever side he sees to be the most just. When her comrades are ruthlessly killed by Nobunaga, she develops an understandable grudge towards the conqueror. Her degree of hatred for the daimyo is renown and has been known to break her composure. She has a strong dream of seeing people happy and often asking people to laugh and be merry with her.

Strengths: Magoichi was known for a quite a bit of things when she was alive one of them was her peerless accuracy with firearms where it was said that she never missed unless she wanted to. Beyond that she was known to lead a large band of renegades during battle and war so her skill in tactics is nothing that can be scoffed at. Finally it was known that her skill with gun smithing was second to none as the Saika was known to make sell their firearms as a source of profit.

Weaknesses: It is important to know magoichi lacks skill when it comes to direct close combat being solely focused on her abilities with firearms has lead to her being lackluster when it comes to close combat. She is also quick to anger having been known for her hatred of Nobunaga that she almost caused a small scale war due to it.

Fatal Flaw:

Origin: Saika Magoichi is believed to be a moniker for the leader of the Saika-shu, rebels who opposed Oda Nobunaga's rise to power with the Ikkō-ikki. The group was reputed for their expert rifle formations and tactics, reported to have posed a threat to Nobunaga on more than one occasion. Their last mention in historical texts limits their activities to the Battle of Komaki-Nagakute. After their defeat to Hideyoshi their activities fade into obscurity. Some members of the group are fabled to have fought in Hideyoshi's Korean campaign. Not much is known on the "original" Magoichi or even if he was ever truly one person.

"Magoichi" is currently considered to be a family rite of sorts in the Suzuki family and was passed down within their family's generations. It has also been argued that the name was made up by the sons of the "first Magoichi" to hide their identity while working with the Ikko rebels. Users of the name have been spotted during the Ishigami Honngan-ji riots and the Battle of Sekigahara, but the latter case is heavily disputed. Historians also believe that copycat users have been seen in scattered parts of Japan. Magoichi's dubious origins and accomplishments have escalated the name to a legendary status in folktales and myths.

The Saiga group were rebels stationed near Saikazaki. Since they are named after this piece of land, they are sometimes known as the Saika Ikki. Their ranks varied from former samurai vassals, Buddhist monks, mercenaries, and former bandits. They built their own castle (Saika Castle) at the modern day Wakayama, Wakayama and were an independent power from the shogunate. Their economy depended on their fishing, mountain agriculture, and rifle-crafting. Their lands were either abandoned or integrated as a part of Hideyoshi's property. By 1585, their group dissolved and the people separated to other parts of the country.

Attributes: [Remember! 3 plus, 2 minus.]
Physique: +
Skill: +
Agility: +
Mana: -
Luck: -

Skills: Independent Action: A signature skill of the archer class that allows them to act without a master for around two weeks should mana be conserved. Known for acting by herself on the battlefield. This gives Magoichi a particularly high level in this skill though she knows one should never act alone without proper intelligence meaning though she can she often waits till she knows the full story before doing so.

Bravery: The ability to shake off mental interference for magoichi when it comes down to battle she has been known to ignore things for the sake of a single shot. So true to her beliefs that she was known to charge into battle like a avenging a demon. Her bravery is often times something that gets her injured or leads to war as such when she almost declared war on Nobunaga for the deaths to her mercenaries that occured by their hand. Brave but foolish is often how many of people described her though lucky for her they happened to like brave but foolish.

Disengage: When the going gets rough Magoichi knows when she is in over her head giving her a boost when she flees from fights she is unable to win.A life is never worth a victory that is what she learned when she was younger and in the many battles retreat sometimes is best for the war.

False insight : The ability given by her legend rather than due to her own skill she had when alive Magoichi is able to clearly grasp a person’s projected movement path. While she is far from able to grasp the or predict things that may happen when you are in her sight she there is no escaping a true hunter knows how to make the prey move how they want to afterall.

Firearms of the Saika: A skill born of the rifle making of the Saika renegades. With the proper materials and time Magoichi is able to construct items that can be labeled as firearms. During the halcyon days of her youth as Magoichi recalls it she remembers the time spent at a forge painstakingly forging and reforging to create her own firearm with her family besides her the contests that they held the mirth and revelry they had in those days is something she wishes to see once more. Her desire to spend time doing what she loved with people she loved and cared for in days of peace gave birth to this skill. “Saika firearms are special each one crafted with the utmost care and precision never call them something as mere guns.”

Innovation of the Saika: The belief that firearms would revolutionize war when she is against enemies that employs more archaic weapons she gains a small boost to her abilities. This single belief stayed with her throughout her life and in her death staying as a single truth of the Saika rebels. Swords and arrows will soon be outmatched by a single musket. The of war and strategy will be turned on its head from the revolution that the weapon brought. This single thought the single line paved forward and now as a servant shows its true might aiding her when faced with those that are stuck in the past.

Noble Phantasms:
Crowseye Fusillade / Lancing Cry of the Three-Legged Crow: Magoichi's main noble phantasm that is born from her skill both from myth and real life with her firearms. A barrage of fire that is shot in such quick motions that it is seemingly all fired at once. Though in real life the trick was pulled off with multiple renegades hiding and firing their rifles all at once. Myth has a habit of hiding or obscuring the truth. That is the case in here so strong was the sight that myth has it that the Yatagarasu itself posessed her giving her supernatural abilties that was beyond comprehension.

Saika Castle / Rebellion's Bulwark: Despite being a band of mercenaries the Saika worked hard and eventually built their own castle. The Saika castle was more than just a castle it was their headquaters and main base for a lot of their operations. In return they were beholden to no daimyo or shogun they were truely their own person. The crow's nest as it was often joked by many a person it became known as defensive stronghold withstanding a few sieges while protecting the citizens and the Saika rebels as well. As a noble phantasm it is a defensive one summoning the walls of the famed castle to protect her and those she considers allies within its walls. When paired with her other noble phantams the Renegades of Saika it becomes the true castle as it manifests in it's full glory. As many a Saika gunner takes refuge in the walls and lets loose a barrage of gun fire at the enemy.

Renegades of Saika / The Manyfold Filial Ties: A noble phantasm that represents the bonds Magoichi had with her rebels the same people she fought and bleed with in many a battle. Their loyalty to Magoichi knows no bounds and so does their tie remain strong. When activated Magoichi is able to summon a small amount of the Saika rebels to her call to aid her. Though the number remains small when summoned via this method and only two squads of Saika riflemen will answer at a given time. However when paired with the Saika Castle she is able to summon all of the Saika renegades at once as they work together to protect what they are fighting for.
