BUTCH CASSIDY

Greatest American Hero

Strength: D
Endurance: C
Agility: B
Mana: D
Luck: A
Noble Phantasm: C

Class: Rider
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Attribute: Man, Star
Place of Origin: A M E R I C A
Armaments: Colt .45s

Likes: Women, money, adrenaline, humble work
Dislikes: Authority
Talents: Robbery, ranching
Natural enemy: Billy the Kid & Moriarty (“It’s not a personal thing. Actually, it absolutely is. It’s about pride, man. Pride!”)
Image color: Dusty earth

Personality: A man who knows his part. The outlaw, the leader, the man who lightens the mood. It was the role ascribed to him by his gang, what they expected of him, and he became that man for them -- a man with a deep rooted sense of love for those who he connects with, but has difficulty gauging the distance between them. However, his feelings are an 'island'. Those outside of his emotional distance become nothing more than obstacles, targets and moving sacks of money. But, within that island, he is a benevolent and outgoing, dragging his comrades to newer heights and even more refreshing sights.

A true romantic, flamboyant, Wild West man.

Bio: Literally Just Butch Cassidy 1:1.

Class Skills

Riding: EX (C)
Rider, technically, has the Riding Skill at C rank. In a regular situation, this would result in him being incapable of being summoned as Rider, but the providence of his Golden Rule Skill transforms Riding to EX. Cassidy can ride vehicles and animals at an above average skill, and he may also ride anything else, Phantasmal and Monstrous Beasts included, with the caveat that they are considered targets of a ‘heist’, stolen by Cassidy. Upon mounting such things, there will be an adjustment period before he can ride them functionally, but they will be unable to buck him off.

They will just be really mad that a C rank Rider managed to mount them.

Magic Resistance: E
Grants protection against magical effects. Due to being a modern Heroic Spirit, his rank in this Skill is low. However, due to certain circumstances surrounding his qualities as a Heroic Spirit, it is nonetheless conferred at E rank, more of a participation prize as far as ranks go.

Personal Skills

Golden Rule (Heist): A
The great outlaw rides again as a Servant, and his foremost ability as a bank robber and train heister is most evident as Rider. Golden Rule is usually the measure of one's fortune to acquire wealth, and while this remains true with Rider, there is the caveat of it being the ‘measure of one’s fortune to take wealth’.

This functionally results in Golden Rule become a skill which rewards a ‘Plunder’ attribute to Rider at a base. With each offensive/defensive action made by Rider towards or in response to an enemy, there is a chance of ‘something of value’ being taken from them. The longer the battle, the more likely this is to happen, and the more likely it is to happen more than once. Stolen goods need not be physical in nature.

Stolen loot is stored within Rider’s first Noble Phantasm.

Light of Possibility: C
A skill similar to Pioneer of the Stars, a skill that also closely resembles Innocent Monster.

Individually, Cassidy was simply a man who had a desire to live completely free of restraints, and his actions are consistent with that. Those actions, all those of a humble individual, entered the realm of ‘folklore’, a different variant of Legend with its own qualities. The man who became the idea of the “Wild West”, the adventures Utah/Wyoming frontier infused into his Heroic Spirit.

"In that place, you grew up knowin’ you could do anything. Even for a little scoundrel like myself."

Light of Possibilities, alike to a distant sunset on age where anything was possible.

Enemies who meet him will witness that very same, sad, sunset.

Charisma of an Evil Genius (False): B
The Charisma of one who can seemingly on a whim forumulate deep, interweaving plans and command others to follow them, all the while behaving in a most flamboyant and almost amicable manner, catching others up in their presence -- the gentleman villain. At B rank, it is a skill suitable for a ‘king’ of crime.

However, Rider is not an Evil Genius. A Genius, maybe, but being called Evil is a mighty stretch. A skill granted mostly through perception of his criminality, rather than his actual behavior. He nonetheless commanded utmost loyalty from his Wild Bunch during their statewide crime spree. Even Cassidy’s ‘plans’ are a bit questionable for a Genius, but he still displays the hallmarks of an outstanding criminal strategist. His plans are convincing, and his aura as a ‘crime boss’ is undeniable.

Basically, he’s just really slick. More or less the Skill to convince people that his ideas are not outrageous and almost outright stupid.

Marksmanship: B
A skill representing all-round shooting techniques, which includes quick drawing and trick shooting by means of small firearms. Cassidy had the level of talent and raw skill to effortlessly hit his targets while on horse-back, and during train shootouts. As Rider, this skill is at the level appropriate for a legendary outlaw of the Wild West, but is lower than his Archer rank, which comes close (but not quite) to matching the Sundance Kid.

DRAW.

Noble Phantasms

The Wilcox Holdup
Phantom Train Through A Sweet Place Called Utah
Type: Anti-World
Rank: C~A+
Range: 1~99
Targets: 1-50

A sublimation of the legend surrounding the individual who is to be remembered as “Butch Cassidy”, taking the form of his most notorious targets -- the rolling devices which conquered distance and logistics, the locomotive train. As the sublimation of a man from the late 1800s who lacks the achievements of say a certain pair of rival inventors, in isolation it struggles to qualify as a Noble Phantasm of any regard, pushing a middling C rank.

This, however, does not mean it is a mount to be underestimated. First and foremost, the train fulfills its function as a mode of transport, capable of entering a travel ‘mode’ that ignores distance between destinations, the metaphorical ‘conquest of land and logistics’ made literal. So long as the destination exists in actuality, the train can take Cassidy and crew to such a place.

When not simply jumping between locations, as an appropriately named Phantom Train would, the train creates its own tracks as it moves, making it capable of air maneuvers and other odd movements one would not associate with a train, all the while moving at blinding speeds.

The actual length of the train varies as with the use of Cassidy’s ‘Golden Rule’ skill. It simultaneously acts as a conceptual space where his loot is contained, and when his loot reaches a certain amount -- or if a particular piece of loot takes up too much room -- another cart will be made to contain his wealth.

But, this is all surface level. It is a train at first glance, a good one which does its job admirably.

Yet the man known as Butch Cassidy inadvertently became more than a mere thief. He became a beacon for the phenomena known as the Light of Possibility. A representation of the strength held by an individual, and humanity's ability to overcome the adverse -- to make the impossible very much possible. Others flocked to him, and followed his light, fighting impossible odds to make a miracle occur -- to face down the authority of a federal nation, and succeed.

As such, is it not only right that a train become a light too?

A blaze that inspires humanity to follow in its path -- onwards, Manifest Destiny. Onwards to their holy land, to human civilization.

The Phantom Train is something that burns away that which has no place in human history and civilization, reinforcing the anthropocentric history born in the absence of the gods. Objects and beings which do not rightfully belong in the current texture of the world are directly opposed by the Phantom Train Wilcox Holdout, their existences challenged and expunged.

Additionally, the companions of Butch Cassidy -- those under the effects of the ‘Wild Bunch’ Noble Phantasm, strengthen the Phantom Train both in its ‘weight’ as a Noble Phantasm and in its form, transforming it from a train into a mobile defence platform at its middle and optimal capacity. With the fourth member of the Wild Bunch, the first armaments come into realization. It is a strange feature, but when questioned, Cassidy has an answer on hand:

“If trains had miniguns and rockets on them, I probably would’a robbed less of them.”

Ah, a simple rationalization.

& The Sundance Kid
That Sonuvabitch Never Misses
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: C
Range: 1~99
Targets: 1

The undeniable synergy between Harry “the Sundance Kid” Longabaugh became one of legend. While not on par with say, Mary Read and Anne Bonny, with the pair retaining a degree of individualism, their ultimate final and mysterious shootout saw the two enter the Ring of Deterrence as a ‘duo’.

The Sundance Kid was a gunslinger on par with a certain once-in-a-century genius. While an expert with most firearms of his time, he had only killed once during his lifetime, that being the final confrontation in South America.

“He never killed, sure. But let me tell you what, he never goddamn missed.”

He never killed, because such an act was beneath him. A machine-like man. Not the sort to exterminate his foes, but the kind which dismantles them into being absent of any threat.

& The Sundance Kid is an Assist type Noble Phantasm, calling on the transient aid of another as the sublimation of a legend. In this case, the Sundance Kid is momentarily summoned some distance away -- but still within a reasonable firing distance for his expert eye -- a ‘sun’ to his back, both announcing his presence and blinding those who spot it, both literally and in the sense of clairvoyance and ‘prediction’, turning him into both a blind spot and a lighthouse. In that moment, he aims and takes his shot at a target dictated by Cassidy.

A cheap, efficient Noble Phantasm, usable multiple times before a drain can even begin to be felt. In exchange, the attack is just that, a singular attack from the Sundance Kid, best used in times of importance, and not without some information. As an attack, it is a higher rank than C by virtue of being a strike from a genius marksman Servant, but the actual Noble Phantasm itself, the brief calling of the Sundance Kid, is middling due to its momentary nature.

“For you, Butch Cassidy, I’ll halve my price. You can afford that much, right?”

& The Wild Bunch
Much to the Chagrin of Many, They Ride Again
Type: Anti-Team
Rank: C
Range: -
Targets: 9

The legendary band of outlaws which evolved to become a cornerstone of Cassidy’s legend, being their unsurpassed and adored leader. Through the informal signing of a contract, usually verbal in nature and not a ‘true’ contract in the sense it can be broken through thaumaturgical means, an individual can become a member of the Wild Bunch. This, naturally, only lasts so long as Cassidy approves of such a thing, making it more of a ‘gift’ than a ‘contract’.

As a member of the New Wild Bunch, a fledgling outlaw finds themselves being empowered to the point where they can be considered useful by Cassidy, allowing him to make full use of their capabilities as a team member. In conjunction with Charisma of an Evil Genius (False), this makes Cassidy something of a Super Team Captain. In essence, a form of reinforcement for the members which lays their abilities, strengths and weaknesses out plainly for Cassidy to see. The fact that ‘making use of their capabilities’ is part of the Noble Phantasm is more of a proof of feat than anything else -- it is simply something he can do without it.

Additionally, members of the New Wild Bunch may come to Cassidy’s aid in a similar manner to being called by a Command Seal, but it functions more as a ‘request’. As individuals, they may reject the call, much in the same way each member of Cassidy’s Wild Bunch originally could have. It was a group of willing individuals, and that quality is retained.

When manning the Wilcox Holdup, New Wild Bunch outlaws empower the Noble Phantasm to new heights, combining all the elements of Cassidy’s legend into a singular entity.

Master

Name: Prydwyn Airell

Title(s): Rune Magus

Appearance: Prydwyn is tall, lean, and athletic, with a shock of vibrant red hair and piercing green eyes, betraying his Celtic lineage. He typically wears fine slacks and dress shirts, mostly when he attends high-society gatherings, but also can be found wearing combat boots and military garb.

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Rank: Cause

Objective for the Grail: Prydwyn's wish is for his family to be recognized as a proud and powerful lineage.

Command Seal:

Seal

Personality: Prydwyn is very prideful in both his societal status and his abilities as a mage. He understands the value of hard work and dedication, and believes that sets him apart from the magi who were born into their power. He can be very kind at times, and has a good head on his shoulders that is tempered by the heart in his chest. However, when he feels he has been slighted, or makes a person his enemy, he is stubborn as a mule, with a dangerously short fuse.

Bio: The Airell line may have been a magus family of meager power long ago, but recently, it has been in shambles, unofficially declared dead. The family hadn't produced a single magus in several generations, and was devastated and forced to leave their homeland of Ireland during the Great Famine. Now finding themselves without magic and scattered throughout the United States, they had all but given up any hope of ever competing in the Grail War. However, that all changed when Prydwyn was born. The son of Alistair and Evelyn Airell, he was the first to utilize magecraft in since his great grandfather, and his skill with magecraft was impressive, indeed. His parents lived a hard life on dirty streets, lying, cheating, and stealing their way to enough money to send Prydwyn back to Ireland as a young boy, leaving him with instructions on how to find the old family estate. When he got there, he discovered the head of his family.

Living as a centuries-old mage, kept alive through rituals that had rendered him almost totally unable to move, Cloich Airell had been waiting for the emergence of a worthy successor to be born once again into the family, as the few remaining mages died during the famine. Upon meeting Prydwyn, he was filled with joy at the prospect of the family's magecraft surviving into a new generation, and brought him to a special antechamber within the estate. There, he transferred the entirety of the family's Crest onto Prydwyn, an act that resulted in Cloich's death. He entered the great beyond with a smile on his face, leaving Prydwyn with all the power the family had ever managed to muster over its existence. Prydwyn thanked his ancestor for the gift and with a renewed vigor, went on to explore the rest of the manor.

Within the old library he discovered the research the family was doing, focusing heavily on archaeological digs to find a certain artifact. It took Prydwyn several years, picking up where they left off, but eventually he was able to get his hands on a Giant rune of flame, an extremely powerful source of fire magic. He set off to the East, having heard rumors of a certain ritual held there, with the prize being an omnipotent wish-granting device.

Magecraft: Prydwyn excels in Rune magecraft, particularly in Ansuz, Gandr, and Ehwaz. He is also quite skilled in Reinforcement, which is the magecraft held within his Crest, but only the reinforcement of self, being able to increase his physical ability through magic. His typical method of combat is to use Gandr and Ansuz to keep enemies outside of melee range, but if he feels the need to switch, he has a habit of increasing his speed through reinforcement and pressuring the opponent with close-range magic attacks. His full list of runes are as follows:

Ansuz: Giant Rune of fire
Berkana: Tracking rune
Ehwaz: Hardening rune
Gandr: Curse-shooting spell
Sowilo: Rune of the sun

Crest: Technically 302 years old, but it has been assumed dead until about 26 years ago.

Cloch Dris - Green-colored stones that Sowilo runes carved on them. They explode.
Cloch Olc - Black-colored stones that levitate and act as sentries for an area dictated by Prydwyn. Fires Gandr at intruders.

Weapons: A military combat knife.

Exceptional Benefit: Second Owner - Prydwyn inherited the land, estate, and title of family head from his ancestor, make him the administrator of all supernatural activity in his land.

[Cu Chulainn]

Theoderic the Great's true Noble Phantasm is now revealed in honor to commemorate his oncoming death. Spoiler alert, he is definitely actually a Saber.

Mimung (True)

Mimung
Sword of Deceitful Victory

Type: Anti-Unit

Rank: C+
Range: 1, (1~3)

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

"You have pushed me into revealing this blade's true nature. You aren't prepared...
"Mimung!"

The beautiful gold-encrusted sword belonging to Witege, a knight who had once bested Rider in single combat using this sword, and who had later betrayed him by swearing fealty to his nemesis, Ermenrich. Crafted by Weyland the Smith, Witege's father, Mimung sports a slightly shorter blade than a normal knight's sword, suited for Witege's backstabbing nature. It is a finely crafted blade of magical nature, its sharp edge rivaling even the greatest of swords. In Rider's hands, however, the blade is capable of nullifying the special magical characteristics of armor. That is, to say, if this blade were to meet an opponent's plate mail, they would have to rely on its durability and craftsmanship, alone, to defend against this attack. Witege was able to shatter Rider's magical helmet with this blade, and later on, Rider had borrowed this blade to defeat Siegfreid in a duel. It is a blade that assures its wielder's victory by ignoring its opponent's defenses, although this isn't the true nature of Mimung.

When Mimung's true name is invoked, its true nature is realized. A burst of golden light surges from the blade's guard and extends outward, crackling with energy and creating a blade of projected light, extending its reach. While this blade of energy is active, Mimung carries the concept of cutting, slicing through even the mightiest of defenses like cloth. With a Master who sports an average mana supply, Rider would only be able to sustain this blade for one or two attacks, but if he were to have a steady supply of mana while Mimung is active, this effect is able to last as long as ten turns.

Weyland had originally crafted Mimung for the cruel king Nidung, whom, after seeing it seamlessly slice through a piece of wood three feet square in thickness, said that he would not want any other blade. Indeed, Mimung's sharpness would rival even the blades crafted by a certain Eastern blacksmith, which was how the hero known as Witege was able to rise from a commoner to one of Rider's best knights.

[Yukitamas]

Man with a Mission

Teodosie Tomas Istaairyf

Character Information

Title(s): Coined Gun, Made-Man
Gender: Male
Age: 57
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Rank: Cause

Personality
A man who does not live too properly, which is perhaps proper as his place as a deviation from the norm. He recognizes both the values of normal people, and that of his fellow magi. Yet he does not quite live in a way that chooses either. In a sense he has a feeling of being an outsider, a deviant. Or perhaps it would be better to call him an observer. Someone who can see the shape of something in its whole without devoting himself to it. His ability to discern and analyze is therefore rather wide. Oddly he does not seem to consider his path an obligation or a duty. To save the world, to prove his family’s directions worth is something he personally enjoys. Related to such, he holds himself in a high esteem. One could say that he is prideful in himself, yet to take pride in something one was given, born with rather than one's work may be something that twists him away from most people and their values of worth as well.

All in all something about him can be a slight bit offputting, making him perhaps a bit hard to trust.

Objective for the Grail
If he were to attain the Grail then it would likely go towards used towards a project. However his concern is not the Grail War, but rather to be a scout for the institute, while also searching for information on the status of the first agent sent, Peregrinus. If need be his duty is to destroy any traces of Peregrinus, along with the products of Atlas that said unit has brought outside of the Pit.

..But maybe, now that he thinks about it. He could do That

Bio
A member of the Istaairyf of the Atlas Academy. He is both a product, and member of the family, born as part of the pursuit after the beginning of their deviation from being those who make weapons to those who make themselves into weapons. A designer baby. A child born with modified DNA. In a sense it is the designing and creation of a human with desired traits. A specialized existence. Yet one cannot confuse it for the coining of a homunculus. For the results are undoubtedly a human. Having gone on tasks before for the Academy, both as a means to see more of the world, and also to try and prove the validity of his family’s direction, and by extension, his own existence in the field. With the line of contact with the unit designated as the latest Peregrinus lost, a new set of eyes in Fuyuki to evaluate the situation that has grown to become a concern for the supernatural community was seen as needed.

Command Seal

Magical Information

Magic Circuit Switch: The computation required to adjust his own measurements into the ideal human proportions.

Number of Magic Circuits: D
Quality of Magic Circuits: C

While his magic circuits cannot be called amazing, compared to many of the Atlas Academy they are of a quality that could be said to be above-average. It is a result of investing into circuit quality, but not holding it as the highest of priorities. Furthermore his are specialized for the purpose of being utilized with the body, and as such his body parts are better than average as catalysts. In a way it could be said it very well suits his purposes.

Elemental Affinity: Earth and Fire

Origin: Intersection and Fork

Magecraft

Witchcraft
A section of Witchcraft centered around using parts of his own body. Hair can be turned into deadly needles, teeth can become a explosive fragment grenade. Nails can be turned into bullets. Teodosie is specialized in the arts of utilizing one’s body for magecraft, and also using one’s body as a medium to deliver magecraft. Not in the sense of angels and how they preserve mystery, but as actual vessels. It is similar to a certain Japanese girl, or fox’s arts in a way. With fire he is able to convert life energy into heat/generate heat within his body parts. With his earth affinity he better binds curses, magecraft, and other attributes to his bodyparts to make them into specialized tools. The creations of the Istaairyf are weapons. Their weapons are their own selves. Primarily he is focused on the utilization of his nails as bullets, both as the vehicle to deliver curses and also as cursed bullets themselves. His body, and nails have been treated so as to regrow and be prepared to fire as an automatic process. The concept is related to the Scandanivan Curse of Gandr, but not the same. It is also similar to a certain freelancer magus and his bullets derived from fingers. Augmented and permeated with magical energy, the sheer force alone is comparable to the ordinances of the modern day. As an aside, while it already is implied, he also holds the ability to cast curses in general.

Necromancery
Rather than the art of bringing corpses to life as servants and beings, it is the repurposement of the body parts into artifacts and spells. While this could be said to overlap with his witchcraft to an extent, the underlying principles are more rather bringing out the potential of the body, and utilizing its meaning. A hand will ward off curses. A finger will curse and bring illness. A heart will contain life within death (underworld). A liver would regenerate or show the future. Rather than something that utilizes the body as a medium, it is something that treats the parts of the body as potential tools and brings out their meaning along that vein as the forefront. As such it is no surprise that the Istaairyf mix with such a craft perfectly.

Flash Air/Displacement
Derived from western alchemy. It is nonetheless something that Toto has decided to take use of as a tool for his talents. While not on the level of a family that specializes in this magecraft to the extent that the container of the soul, or one's mental energy/spirit can be exchanged with ease, what Teodosie is able to calculate and analyze can be displaced. Often it is utilized with his nails as anchors and beacons to help facilitate the process better. It is also possible to transmit the effect of one's body to an area within one's "line of sight" (perception)

Atlas Staples/Thought Acceleration and Thought Partition
To divide the body and the mind is a thing considered foolish. The brain does not exist as a control unit for the body. Rather the body exists to increase the effectiveness of the brain's functions. So is the philosophy of the Atlas Alchemists who utilize all parts of the body, and the soul along with the mind as a unit for calculation. In other words they are living computers. The power of the human brain is an obscenely powerful calculation unit, and in this time there is no computation device born of science that can match it. In its optimized state the ability of the human body as a computation device would stand supreme even in the modern age of the early 21th century.

The maximum partitions capable by Teodosie numbers four.

Crest: N/A as an Atlas Alchemist.

Weapon: Himself. To elaborate on that... The hardware, or rather the parameters of Teodosie are, without a doubt, human. However he has been made to ensure traits that are useful for his purpose, including a reflex and reaction time that could be called higher than average, exceptional natural eyesight, and a generally fit and healthy physiology.

Mystic Code(s)
Analysis:Idris Graft (Foreign-Interior Psuedo-Spiritron Machine)
A gift/tool given to Teodosie as an agent who has left the Giant's Pit before, and the support deemed suitable for this mission at its current level. The alchemists of Atlas do not use magic crests, the means of preserving mystery of the west. In the first place it is simply not something that is required for them. However as part of his specialization Teodosie has integrated something foreign into his body for a function. It is not a matter of having something to calculate in place of the mind, but rather a analysis machine that works together with the body. Together with his own mind and capabilities it is also able to give birth to what he considers his trump card.

Further information is currently sealed.

Exceptional Benefit: Supply LineAn agent of the Atlas Academy. With the loss of contact with the first sent agent, and the growing worries about the ritual in the Giant’s Pit . Teodosie has been sent as a second agent, on a mission that is more than just a scouting mission. However the news that has spread to the magical world must be verified first-hand. With further information and analysis required the level of need and extents of support are still kept to a lower level.

A contact/information line is provided. Along with the supplies of a rudimentary budget, and a starting set of code support.

While the Istaairyf are considered oddities within the Atlas Academy, it is precisely because of their nature that Teodosie was sent as the second agent. In a sense the body of Teodoise could be said to be his weapon, yet the fact remains that as a member of the Academy that it is their knowledge and creations that are what defeats strong foes. It can simply be said that his creations are based around the self. That they are not men that are machines that create weapons for a purpose, but rather men that are machines that modify themselves as weapons. Such is the deviation that they have taken after the discovery of the most terrible inevitable truth. One could say it is running away to deviate in such a manner.

Envoy of the Demon-Killing Clan

Kouga Nanaya

Gender: Male.

Age: 20

Biography

Nanaya, the family that rose to prominence as ‘the trump card of the Demon Hunters’, forming the backbone of the organization alongside the Asakami, Fujo and Ryougi.

More honestly put, a secluded clan of killers whose entire purpose from birth was the indiscriminate murder of demons and half-breeds, created to ‘protect humans from that which they cannot protect themselves’. However, time passes, and seldom are the things that stay the same.

As Japan leaves its isolation, as the country steps into the limelight and becomes a nation, those same half-breeds started shifting from ‘an evil that is easy to excise’ to ‘an evil that is necessary’. Among the other three families, whispers started to arise, but —

Indeed, the Nanaya would continue to hunt, no matter what.

It was not a shout of defiance, or the desperate throes of a dying breed. Nanaya hunted, because hunting is all they were good for. Such environment is the one Kouga spent his life in.

Confined and simply taught ‘one thing’ before being left to his own devices, he did nothing but practice it on his lonesome before being taught ‘another thing’ once he had shown he had mastered it. These things were ‘meant to kill people’, which he understood in his youth to be the duty he would have to bear until the end of his life.

He could not find it in himself to complain. It wasn’t that he enjoyed the act — it was simply ‘the way of things’, so he saw no reason to argue against it.

The years of training came and went, and one day he started to be sent on missions with no transition. It was fine, it was expected, and so he carried out the tasks set before him without much fuss. In general, a monotonous — if acceptable — existence as another member of his clan. His latest mission involves investigation regarding the happenings in a small town of Kyushu, and the Holy Grail War occurring therein.

There is really not much of note. He is just some weirdo from a clan chock-full of them, though inevitably, he has picked up his own oddities.

In particular, a penchant for western suits.

Regarding his desire for the Grail, it can be said to be ‘Nanaya’s wish’, or maybe even ‘the wish of Demon Hunters’, rather than ‘Kouga’s alone’ — complete extermination of all demons and half-breeds, to the last.

Perhaps it is the correct path for his family — perhaps it will be what stops ‘them’ before it is too late, even if the consequence is becoming weapons without a purpose.

Circumstances do not matter. Age does not matter. History does not matter. All monsters exist to die.

Magecraft:

Circuits: DxB

Origin: Tranquility

Element: Wind

Houjutsu: Binding Edict

Requires unsullied Ofuda, some magical energy, a non-human (demon) target and, hardest of all for savages, calligraphy.

The spell, as its name indicates, binds the target and restricts their movements in order to render them easier to dispatch. The natural friend to any murderer.

It is, however, absolutely useless against human targets, or even those of mixed blood.

Pure Eyes: Determination of Greatest Danger

The ‘karma’ of the Nanaya family, inherited by this man. In his case, the ‘thin thread’ has taken the form of ‘eyes which see the flow of threats around him’.

Fundamentally, it allows him to categorize those that are his targets from most to least troublesome, and work his way around it in the manner he chooses. Shifts in the ‘color’ of people may also indicate their potential as a threat, provided his course of action would rouse such response.

Fundamentally speaking, what a ‘threat’ is may vary. However, the only kinds of threats he knows or cares to know are ‘that which is a threat to my person’ and ‘that which is a threat to my principles as a Nanaya’.

Needless to say, the latter type is the most troubling.

---

Skills

‘To breathe and walk’

It does not refer to the method of Holy Children in earnest, but rather, merely a mimicry of the principle of martial arts of maintaining a proper rhythm of inspiration and expiration during combat without much thought behind it. In Kouga’s case, he uses it in order to control his impulses until the last possible second, muting his intentions and avoiding any murderous disposition to leak out.

For all intents and purposes, the respiration method works as a psychological aid to accomplish such.

Appear, to any that might look upon you, like a normal man. Pass by your prey. Circle them. Refrain until the last possible instant and then—

Murderous Intent

The instinctive Nanaya drive to ‘kill that which is inhuman’, which inevitably kicks in when faced with such creatures. Much like the Pure Eyes he inherited, this, too, could be considered to be the karma of the Nanaya.

While a deadly combatant as-is, once this drive is active, efficiency skyrockets.

Nanaya Killing Arts

Techniques passed down among the clan. Techniques meant to slay something more dangerous than men or magi, techniques that require one to ‘push himself to the absolute human limit’.

Fundamentally, one can break them up into two categories: Sensou, the ability to move faster than the eye can perceive, and Sensa, the ability to attack with that same speed. Used in tandem, one can say that ‘the body of the Nanaya is, in itself, a weapon’. As it is usually the case, he has refined them in order to adapt to his combat preferences and needs.

---

Equipment:

A sword, passed down to him by his father. While a fine tool, it seemingly lacks any power of note outside of good quality, being relatively short for ease of use in close quarters. The traditional tool of a Nanaya, and one he has trained extensively with.

Lengths of talisman cloth.

Assorted suits.

Exceptional Benefit: Supply Lines.

As is only natural, he counts with the support of the Organization he belongs to for this task, in addition to his family. All that is asked in return is that he gets results.

And if he does not, then he better not come back at all.

ITS ALL OGRE

Crimson Gatekeeper

"I'll take care of this, my liege. Just stand behind me..."

---

Name: Musashibo Benkei (True), Ogre Child

Gender: Male

Birth and Death Dates: Age of Man

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Weapon: Sword, Axe, Rake, Sickle, Mallet, Saw, Staff, Spear

---

Personality:

Benkei has chosen to be summoned some time during his youth because he misses having his long, flowing hair, though he still puts an effort to dress like an ogre in order to properly intimidate his foes. A boisterous man who makes most of his decisions on an impulse and enjoys testing his upper limits, Benkei is a man who loves a good meal, a good drink, and most importantly, a good fight. To whoever is his Master, however, Benkei displays his supreme loyalty, believing fully that it is his duty entrusted by the Grail to achieve his Master's wish. Despite his rowdy nature, Benkei shows the full extent of his loyalty and dedication to his allies, and especially his Master. Benkei's wish, this time around, is to find a weapon fitting for him to call his 'eight implement.'

"I see that many other Heroic Spirits shoot lasers out of their weapons. It is my wish to master a weapon that I can do the same thing with!"

---

Bio:
...Musashino Benkei is a story. Valorous and faithful, the strongest great man. After fighting to the bitter end together with Minamoto no Yoshitsune in many battles, he at last fell bravely at the very end - surely the idealized image of a hero. ...Musashino Benkei is a hero. By swinging his halberd, ordinary soldiers have their bodies blown off at once; by roaring, a starving wolf is put to run. It is by no accident that he was rumored to be the child of an oni. ...Musashino Benkei is an inestimable existence.

"Did anyone else hear someone narrating about me?
...
"Huh, weird."

The most famous warrior monk of Japanese history, who accomplished great deeds together with Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Reaching modern times, he is loved by a wide variety of stories such as kabuki and joururi. There is also many traditions transmitted to the present, such as Benkei's daunting pose and Benkei's weak-point.

Parameters:

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

---

Class Skills:

Fortress Creation: X
A skill similar to the Territory Creation skill of a Caster that allows one to build a special terrain advantageous to the user. Unlike Territory Creation, which creates a territory that would prove favorable to a magus, Fortress Creation allows the construction of territory superior to one in battle. However, because of Benkei's Demonic Vanguard of the Bridge skill, this skill has been sealed.

---

Personal Skills:

Attendant of Iron: A
A skill born of Benkei's dedication to his liege, Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Through the very contract with his Master, Benkei is able to improve on their physical attributes, allowing them to at least defend themselves against other Servants when Benkei isn't around. Should his Master be in close proximity to Benkei, however, their physical capabilities are granted a much more significant boost, allowing his Master to fight alongside him. This skill stems from the six birthmarks he possessed, marking him to serve the gods, and its benefits are transferred through the karmic link between Benkei and his Master.

Battle Continuation: A
A skill that allows for the continuation of combat after sustaining mortal wounds. It will also reduce mortality rate from injury. This Skill represents the ability to survive and/or the mentality of one who doesn't know when to give up, consisting of one's strength of vitality in predicaments. Benkei, who was considered a monster on the battlefield, had fought against hundreds of trained soldiers during his last stand. It took a rain of arrows to stop him, and even then, Benkei still died standing, his enemies still believing he was alive in fear of approaching him. As long as he doesn't receive an absolute fatal blow, Benkei is capable of fighting even with deadly injuries.

Demonic Vanguard of the Bridge: B+
The unique skill of Benkei encompassing his entire legend under the Gatekeeper class. A warrior who had defended against countless opponents, slaying hundreds of warriors at once, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Benkei a 'walking fortress'. Should Benkei stand his ground, whether it is defending a certain location or choosing a point in the battlefield favorable to him, he shall receive a boost in power likened to a one-man army. Benefits of this skill are lost should Benkei lose his ground, such as if he is forced to make a fighting retreat. Benkei was an insurmountable beast of a man whose own corpse held back an entire army out of fear for checking if he was dead or not. This skill is displayed at its fullest when outnumbered. Plus modifiers are granted when this is used on ‘bridges.’

Monstrous Strength: X (B)
The skill denoting one's nature as a monster or demonic beast. Temporarily grants a rank-up to one's Strength parameter for a time limit determined by the ranking of this Skill. Due to sporting multiple anecdotes of being a 'demon child' sporting wild hair and long teeth, as well as his numerous superhuman feats, Benkei would naturally have this skill at a high rank, though the more he uses his skill, the more his monstrous traits become more apparent. However, Benkei doesn't bother using this skill. Whether it is because of the nature of his Master or because Benkei desires a 'proper challenge' is unknown.

Seven Implements: -
The seven tools that Benkei carries on his person and a testament to his mastery of arms, Benkei is a monster of a man who has defeated nearly a thousand warriors and collected their weapons before his defeat in the hands of his lord, Ushiwakamaru. Utilizing this skill, Benkei is able to wield any weapon with reasonable proficiency, and the seven weapons he carries on his person, along with his own sword, are wielded with mastery just a step behind those who have dedicated themselves to such weapons. Through the use of these weapons, Benkei is capable of confounding his enemies by switching between each of his strange weapons, resulting in his attacks being harder to read by those sporting such talents. Additionally, due to his mastery of different arms, Benkei can also read his opponent's attacks to an extent.

Noble Phantasms

---

Ogre of Gojo Bridge
Confrontation of a Thousand Blades

Type: Anti-Unit

Rank: B+

Range: 1~10

Maximum Number Of Targets: 1

The recreation of Benkei's legend before meeting Yoshitsune, building a Buddhist shrine near Gojo Bridge and challenging all samurai who had wished to cross the bridge to a duel, wishing to collect 1000 swords. It was after he had collected 999 blades where his winning streak was finally brought to an end by the young Yoshitsune. Upon invocation of this Noble Phantasm, a duel field is created encompassing both Benkei and his opponent; the 999 swords that Benkei had taken sprout from the ground, serving as walls, and allowing no interference from the outside, or escape from either parties. Within this duel field, all outside interference is prevented, and both Benkei and his opponent must rely on their own skill and strength in order to obtain victory. Victory is obtained either from death or Benkei’s surrender, though Benkei can also end it at any time, himself, should he believe his opponent has been “defeated” properly.

Normally, Benkei's opponent must accept the challenge before he can truly invoke this Noble Phantasm, but he is also able to invoke it freely should Benkei choose to activate it as a means of 'defending a point or a person,' a symbol of his endearing loyalty. As an Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm, those who Benkei doesn't challenge but are within the range of the field are 'pushed out' before the wall of swords appear. Because it is a recreation of the conditions of Gojo Bridge, this Noble Phantasm synergizes well with Benkei's Demonic Vanguard of the Bridge skill. It should also be noted that the wall of swords aren’t actually swords, but a visual representation of the absolute barrier between the two duelists and the outside world. Normally, cherry blossoms also appear to flow within the duel field as constructs of magical energy meant only to add to the atmosphere, but Benkei suppresses this portion of this Noble Phantasm because he realized it adds to the mana cost of invoking it.

Last Stand of Benkei
Even In Death, My Conviction Stands Firm

Type: Fortress, Anti-Fall

Rank: A+

Range: 0

Maximum Number Of Targets: 1

Benkei's greatest feat, his standing death at the hands of Minamoto no Yoritomo's soldiers, defending his master, Yoshitsune, from an entire army long enough for her to commit seppuku. Upon invocation, Benkei strikes a pose, his legs rooting in place while they draw in mana from the ground beneath him. For a few seconds, Benkei truly becomes an immovable object, his designation changing to that of a Fortress Noble Phantasm, while drawing all damage from attacks made in his direction to himself. His defensive power increases to insane levels during this time, and he is able to shrug off Anti-Unit and even Anti-Army attacks to a degree. Only attacks at the level of Anti-Fortress or above will be able to harm him at this state.

Because of its ridiculous mana cost, Benkei would prefer to not use this ability at all, unless it would lead to 'something cool.' Plus, due to its effects, Benkei's legs feel uncomfortably stiff after the use of this Noble Phantasm. It should also be stated that this Noble Phantasm will prevent Benkei from falling, no matter how mighty of an attack he faces. Because of this, should Benkei receive enough damage to kill him, his corpse will still remain standing as it dematerializes. A crystalization of Benkei's fate to 'die standing.'

Berserker Gilles

Name: Gilles de Rais

Title(s): Marshal of France

Class: Berserker

Gender: Male

Birth and Death Dates: circa September 1405 to 26 October 1440

Alignment: Lawful Good

Personality: A valorous and upstanding man, who believes with all his heart that he was fighting along side Jeanne D'Arc up until the day he died. The Saint had not burned at the stake, but went on to live happily ever after, he did not succumb to madness, that was all just a nightmare, and everything went on as it was before; he was still just a Marshal, and commanded the French army against the English. While seemingly slightly unhinged, he was still striving to be an outstanding knight, and a great Marshal befitting of the mighty French army.

Bio: typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Saber_(Fate/G…
A knight that served with Jeanne D'Arc during the One Hundred Year war, known as a good tactition and knight as he commanded armies against the English. Though having a number of achievements and being pious, his faith was shattered when the Saint was deemed a heretic and burned at the stake, leaving him to spiral into madness.

Most of the history behind Gilles was correct. However, this version that was summoned was a warped personality wrapped in denial that Jeanne was burned at the stake, thinking it all just a nightmare he had glimpsed. Having rejected any sort of reality and substituting it for his own delusions, he was as stoic and upstanding as the knight he was before her death.

Weapon: Just a sword.

Parameters:

Strength: A

Endurance: B

Agility: B

Mana: C

Luck: C

Class Skills:

Mad Enhancement - Ex
It offers a rank up to his parameters, but fuels his denial and grief into belief of the illusion that nothing else happened to Jeanne. They won the war, attended the King's coronation and lived on happily and honorably until the end. While it allows for him to still act normally, to mention Jeanne at all is to risk breakdown of communications. Depending on what was said, it could range from a small lecture of how she was, or complete and utter destructive blind rage.

Personal Skills:

Military Tactics - C
Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.

Gilles raised numerous assaults as an assistant of Jeanne d'Arc. When he is waging an offensive siege battle, he particularly gains a bonus.

Golden Rule(Sacrifices) - B
Being fated a life that is filled with riches.
Having an enormous territory and heritage, he should not have any trouble with money for the rest of his life. Indeed he had holdings rivaling even the richest of his peers, enough that he had bought art, treatises, and any other things that intrigued him and had much more to spare. In spending(sacrificing) his wealth, Gilles can raise his 'combat power', similar to him expending money for more troops when he was alive.

But is that the true extent of this skill. . .?

Prelati's Encouragement - A
It takes the form of STR reinforcement via magecraft but as a cost, his memories of his life after Jeanne's death becomes more and more distinct.

Because of class, the support has been emphasized.

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Marshal's Siege Orders

Title: Let Loose the Dogs of War

Rank: B

NP Type: Anti Fortress

Range: 1-50

Maximum Number of Targets: 100

Description: A Noble Phantasm that pulls from his successful career as a tactician and marshal, summoning an entire French army that will besiege or attack his target for a brief moment. In a combination attack, a myriad of soldiers, siege engines, and other equipments fit to siege a fortified position may be summoned. Outside of actually activating the noble phantasm's true effect, Gilles can perhaps summon a few of these soldiers and equipments at will without any trouble. More effective against targets that are entrenched, fortified, or are other in any such condition that it becomes a 'defense to be overcome'. Especially against defensive positions, it demonstrates an even greater strength.

Interlude V: The Coolest Hero

'Mobster'

"Be cool or be schooled!"

---

Name: FUJIMURA, Kickass Komainu of Concentrated Cool

Gender: Male

Birth and Death Dates: Age of Cool_(Man)

Alignment: True Cool_{Neutral Good}

Weapon: Bokken, Fists

---

Personality:
The fire in his heart has ignited, the anguish within his soul has been resolved. No longer the 'Gin Yoshiyaki' that joined this war thinking he could protect Fuyuki with his own hands, FUJIMURA fights with all his might to ensure Fuyuki's future! Fighting alongside others instead of stubbornly standing on his own, FUJIMURA is now completely confident in the strength of his allies and his own newfound respect for his magecraft. On his quest to become the coolest hero, FUJIMURA seeks to accomplish all that is awesome in order to make his vision of a bright Fuyuki into a reality. Yakuza, assemble!

---

Bio:
<sub>I wanna be the most coolest,
Like no one ever was.
To save them all is my real test,
To lead them is my cause,

I will travel across Japan,
Flexing far and wide.
Teach Yakuza to understand
The power that's inside!

Yakuza, (gotta lead em all) its you and me
I know its my destiny
Yakuza, oh, you're my best friend
In a city we must defend

Yakuza, (gotta lead them all) a heart so true
Our coolness will pull us through
Stand by me and I'll lead you
(Ya-ku-za) Gotta lead 'em all!</sub>

Parameters:

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

---

Class Skills:

"Classes? Nani the fuck?! It's pronounced 'glasses'!"

---

Personal Skills:

Crystallized Coolness: EX
A magic implement taking the form of glasses, and a classification of self-admonition skill that displays its effects by having the user maintain the attitude of ‘the coolest hero’.

It results in the improvement of the wearer’s “nature as an existence”, and consequently such things as his presence and strength of recreated mysteries, but he ends up weakening upon taking conduct that violates this ideal.

In FUJIMURA’s case, that means he "gets weakened when doing something lame" and that "some sort of gauge rises when doing things that he finds cool".

The sublimation of the path that FUJIMURA has taken.

Houjutsu: C++
The Japanese arts which descend from Feng Shui, covering such things as talisman creation, Shikigami exertion, divination, and spiritual banishing.

While no genius in the art, FUJIMURA has formed two primarily specializations, signified by the double modifier.

First, he has unknowingly tapped into the theories of the east’s witchcraft and integrated them into his practice of Houjutsu. It can thus be said that he excels at creating talismans which use his own existence as a cornerstone.

Second, he has unknowingly leveraged his monstrous force of providence, allowing for creation of shikigami at an efficiency, and thus theoretical quantity, which should ordinarily be impossible.

Charisma of a Yakuza Boss: B+
FUJIMURA is not an icon or a hero who stands above humanity, but a hero who stands beside humanity. Mired in their flaws and embracing them, rather than placing himself above them.

Those who stand beside FUJIMURA find themselves elevated by his presence, becoming "ideal yakuza". This both means that abilities inherent to the meaning of yakuza are either acquired or amplified, and that said individuals are brought up to a state where they can be considered peers to FUJIMURA, as he is not a lone star so much as one among many.

...as an aside, if the willpower of multiple “ideal yakuza” is focused upon a single target, it should be possible for the communication of their will to reach the domain of a conceptual attack. One might refer to this as a “Grand Mob Ritual”.

The plus modifier is the result of synergy with the Personal Skill “Crystallized Coolness”, which implicitly recreates replicas of FUJIMURA’s unique magic implement on those who work alongside him, granting them similar capabilities as accorded by FUJIMURA’s own Skill.

This is not limited to wholly extrinsic beings.

Noble Phantasm

---

Irezumi Gaeshi
Great God Hotei Inversion

Type: Anti-Unit

Rank: C

Not a Noble Phantasm in the true sense, but rather something that resembles an “equivalent”, a crystallized mystery that does not stem from human history or legend but rather was solidified during one’s apotheosis. Thus, one could consider it an “Artificial Noble Phantasm”.

A channel engraved into the body (spirit) through the process of Irezumi. Put simply, the channel in question is one that uses a synthesis of FUJIMURA's own nature and the concept of a 'cool reversal', a last-second turnabout.

Pulling from the concept of the Taiji, the channel is in truth composed of two channels that function synergistically. The first is one that accumulates "fortune" from the user and the surroundings and converts it into "misfortune", which may either be stored or output, while the second does the inverse. Naturally, use of each channel is determined through the possessor's will.

While these could be called similar in nature to Magic Circuits, in truth it is more akin to an imprinted Psychic ability.

FUJIMURA is capable of engraving these channels into other existences, forming something akin to a collective consciousness along the lines of the channel. The theory behind this is not unlike how Psychics are emanations of the human collective unconsciousness, and thus the possessors of these channels are emanations of FUJIMURA’s principles.

The Divine Punishment

"Destroying the target."
Altera

Title(s): Scourge of God, The Divine Punishment, Atilla the Hun, Great King of Destruction

Class: Saber

Gender: Female

Birth and Death Dates: 406-453 AD

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Personality: Altera is somewhat of an empty creature, she lacked emotions during life and sought only to destroy. While she has been summoned with emotions, she does not really know how to process or express them. While she has magnanimity for foes whose skill she has acknowledged, all who stand against her are but obstacles to be removed from her path. In battle she is a killing machine, despite her distaste for combat she recognizes that it is what she is best at. Thus she fights because she is a fighter.

Outside of battle she does not do much, her Master would be hard pressed to talk to her about anything but strategies for upcoming battles. However she does silently muse to herself about various things. What would she have done if she had not been a warrior in life? What if she had not become the emodiment of destruction? What if she had never gripped the Sword of the War God? If she achieved a wish on the Holy Grail... well. Perhaps she would like to find out what it would be like to be something other than a warrior.

Weapon: Her Noble Phantasm, Sword of Mars.

Parameters:

Strength: B

Endurance: A

Agility: A

Mana: B

Luck: A

---

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance B: Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.

Riding A: All vehicles and all creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts.

Divinity B: Altera is not related to a Divine Spirit by blood; however, Europe was overrun on what was considered to be the Authority of God. The target of this fear was given the name, 'Scourge of God.' Because of this, Altera, who became a Heroic Spirit on Earth, has a high ranking Divine Spirit aptitude.

Civilization Erosion EX: A subconsciously active skill of the heroic spirit Altera. Anything within her grasp is transformed into its “best” form currently most suited for herself. In effect the longer she holds onto something, the more it becomes like her sword.

---

Personal Skills:

Military Tactics B: When Altera's Anti-Army Noble Phantasm is activated, a slight bonus is gifted to its performance. In addition bonuses are gifted when defending against hostile Anti-Army Noble Phantasms.

Natural Body D: Altera can temporarily rank up her STR. Furthermore, no matter how many calories she ingests, her body shape will not change.

Star Emblem EX: The unique pattern imprinted on Altera's body, a strange design that does not belong to the Huns but resulted from some advanced ritual. The higher the rank, the higher one's attack power is increased. By expending mana through it, one can temporarily enhance the performance of any desired part of the body. An efficient Skill that costs little mana but lacks the explosiveness of Skills like Mana Burst. It comes attached with the Instinct skill ranked at B as well.

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Photon Ray

Title: War God's Sword

Rank: A

NP Type: Anti-Army

Range: 1-30

Maximum Number of Targets: 200 People

Description: Speculated to be formed from the combination of "the prowess and terror that led to her being feared as the ‘Divine Punishment’ and ‘The Scourge of God’" and the "anecdote about her obtaining the ‘Sword of Mars’", this blade is what the feared Great King of Destruction rode into battle with. However the truth of this sword is far more sinister, for this is actually the sword claimed by Altera when she slew the War God Mars. The "blade" of the sword, formed of tri-colored bands of light, is believed to be capable of destroying "any and all existence" on Earth.

In effect this sword acts as a sword of the future, being used as a whip that can cut through armies in a single swipe. It is only when its True Name is evoked that its power can fully shine.

---

Name: Teardrop Photon Ray

Title: Star of Tears, War God's Sword

Rank: A++

Type: Anti-Army/Anti-Fortress

Range: 1-99

Maximum Number of Targets: 900 People

Description: The Wrath of the War God Mars himself, a tactical laser strike from the War God manifested in upper orbit. The physical form of the concept of battle, swung at the target in an attempt to wipe Altera from the face of the Earth. She knows not why Mars hates her so, but she cares not. For this is merely another tool to achieve destruction.

By invoking the true name of Photon Ray, Altera establishes a connection with the War God Mars. Due to her actions as the White Titan 14,000 years ago, Mars loathes Altera more than anyone else and upon recognizing the connection, he would unleash Photon Ray, his light of authority, towards her. Altera’s usage of mana for this Noble Phantasm is to actually redirect that light of authority towards the designated spot of attack, costing a great deal of mana to redirect it. It is in effect, an attack from an orbiting satellite laser.

Name: Mephistopheles, The Foulest Fiend in All the World

Gender: Male... ?

Birth and Death Dates: Age of Man

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Weapon: Scissors

---

Personality:

At first, Mephistopheles appears to be a cheerful and easygoing person, stating that he is a pacifist in nature and taking on the attitude of a clown or a jester. It's as if no matter how grim a situation would be, there wouldn't be a hint of seriousness from himself. Of course, his true nature is much more cruel than one would be lead to believe, and not even his own Master is safe from his own cruelty. While he does seem to serve his Master happily and loyally, he will only think of them as a plaything to provide entertainment from, driving his Master to despair if given the chance. In other words, the Master of such a Servant should essentially not trust him. Why would one trust a world-class demon, after all?

---

Bio:

The demon of temptation appearing in Goethe's masterpiece, "Faust". He played a bet with God on whether or not he is capable of corrupting Dr. Faust while placing him on the path to evil. And indeed, Mephistopheles almost succeeded in his endeavor, coaxing Faust onto the path of evil. However, before his soul was damned to hell, it was saved by a loved one. What a joyous ending...

... In reality, however, the genius magus Faust had casted a single familiar; an advanced homunculus made with technology several generations ahead of Faust's time. Because of his eccentric sense of principles, however, Faust gifted this homunculus with a strong ego. Naming it 'Mephistopheles', Faust treated him with much affection, but was still betrayed in the end, due to the homunculus's nature. It was said that Dr. Faust died from some sort of explosion during the middle of an alchemy experiment. However...

Parameters:

Strength: D
Endurance: C
Agility: B
Mana: A
Luck: B

---

Class Skills:

Item Construction: B
Allows the creation of devices that carry magical energy, though time is required to gather materials and manufacture these items. As he was an assistant to an alchemist for many years, Mephistopheles is capable of creating any of the alchemist's magical items.

Territory Creation: C+
Allows the creation of a special territory that proves advantageous to oneself as a magus. At this rank, the creation of an extremely efficient 'Laboratory' is possible, though it is smaller in scale compared to a 'Workshop'.

---

Personal Skills:

Witchcraft: A
A skill that denotes the user as a practitioner of Witchcraft, a type of negative Magecraft that has roots in both the Eastern and Western world. Mephistopheles specializes in the classical Western Witchcraft, which allows him to do many things such as return double the wounds received by himself to the opponent who inflicted them, throwing one's personal relationships into chaos, giving nightmares using incubi/succubi, etc. Difficult for average magi to resist.

Innocent Monster: B
A skill possessed by Servants whose existence has been distorted by their own monstrous reputation. Incidentally, this skill cannot be removed. Distorted by the Contract Demon ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ due to the image born from his deeds while he was alive, the appearance and abilities of Mephistopheles have completely transformed. In this case, this skill has nothing but benefits such as having his Witchcraft strengthened, possessing Magecraft that reaches the level of a Noble Phantasm, etc. In other words, this Servant takes the form of a first-class demon.

Clown's Laughter: A+
A skill derived from Innocent Monster as a designated demon which allows Mephistopheles to place intense heavy pressure over all of mankind as a species. While Mephistopheles is casting his pressure on an opponent, they would fall into a state like they were abandoned by fortune. So long as there is a possibility of failure in any situation, the target will fail without exception.

Noble Phantasms

Tick-Tock Bomb
Dozing Bomb

Type: Anti-Army

Rank: A+

Range: 1-10

Maximum Number Of Targets: 30

A type of Magecraft that embodies the Servant's trickiness and cruelty.

Witchcraft that intentionally lays bugs into one's Magic Circuits and the spiritual bodies of Servants before making them explode by attacking them. Appearing like some sort of mixture between a pocket watch and a bomb, Mephistopheles intentionally lays them on the battlefield as if they would explode on contact. In reality, they are only pretended to be used in such a matter. When its True Name is invoked, however, the bombs are inserted in the insides of the targets' bodies that are within range of the Noble Phantasm. As this occurs, a resistance check against curses is carried out to prevent this effect from happening.

Mephistopheles is capable of placing a total of thirty bombs on the field, with a maximum of five bombs installed in each person. Of course, because these bombs are inserted into the bodies of a target, Mephistopheles is able to finish them off right there, but due to his nature, he would much rather prefer coercing his targets to do as he wishes, making them realize that the bombs are within them and taking advantage of whatever fear would stem from this reaction. Truly a Noble Phantasm fit for a cruel devil!
