Black Lancer Application

• Name: Fionn mac Cumhaill
• Class: Lancer
• Appearance: Finn McCool
• Personality: An impartial and noble knight who respects and follows the path of righteousness. At the same time, he is open-minded and pleasure-seeking. Fionn does not bear any doubt, not even a tiny bit, about his own charm. "Come now! Nowadays, I am shining!" Like his appearance, his behavior is similarly elegant. However, his way of thinking is comparatively bold. His outward appearance is suitable for his youthful character. One would not particularly catch sight of that tenacious personality in the later anecdotes of his past life.
  Fionn is aware of the truth behind his own beauty. Regarding his appearance, it was something that he was born with so he does not have to boast about it, but that can be called a pet theory. It has been said that Fionn was a magnanimous man who, in times of peace, spent his days quietly while carrying out hunts and the likes with his subordinates in the knight order.
  Though he has a personality that is sort of abundant with love, he consecrates that eternal and unique love to his wife. Only in the moment when he thinks about her, Fionn Mac Cumhaill is not a knight leader, but one young man who is honest with himself.

• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Mac an Luin: Undefeated Violet Flower
  • Rank: A+
  • Type: Anti-Army
  • Effects: This is the Noble Phantasm of Fionn mac Cumhaill. It is a magic spear that is said to have defeated the wicked fallen Divine Spirit Aillen. A two-handed spear with a length of two meters or so.
    A spear which, in addition to having an auto-attack function, can nullify mental disruptions that can work on the Servant. Upon activation, it shoots a stream of water, an element that his ancestor Nuada controls, towards the enemies.
    The name originated from Fionn's sword, but it is often seen as the same as his god-slaying spear. Thus, when materialized as a Noble Phantasm, they are morphed together.
    ______________
  • Name: Fintan Finegas: Biting the Thumb Swelling with Wisdom
  • Rank: B
  • Type: Anti-Wisdom
  • Appearance: It's just his thumb.
  • Effects: This is the anecdote of the wisdom granted to Fionn mac Cumhaill from the oil of the Salmon of Knowledge becoming a Noble Phantasm. Because of this salmon's fat that remained attached to one of Fionn's thumb, it is said that licking it quickly will grant great wisdom. This Noble Phantasm is the origin of the Uisce Beatha Noble Phantasm as the latter depends on this very anecdote.
    ______________
  • Name: Uisce Beatha: O' Life Scooped with These Hands
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Anit-Unit
  • Effects: Water scooped by Fionn's hands will gain the power of healing - the anecdote of the Water of Life itself becoming a Noble Phantasm. Whether it is spring water of a fountain or tap water, "if scooped with both hands," it will quickly become water with a recovery effect.
    When used on humans, wounds will be healed. It can also be used on Servants. Additionally, any poisons will be cleansed from this healing. Fionn usually carries a water bag with him whenever he needs to scoop water for this Noble Phantasm's usage.

Well, here's what I got for a Master.

Witch of the Black Forest

"To achieve everything, one must be willing to do anything."

Name: Ava Blackmore

Age: 75

Gender: Female

---

Personality: "The ends justify the means." The classic motto of the Blackwell family, originating in the late 1500s when Walter Blackwell burned his own wife at the stake to throw suspicion off himself during the witch hunts. Each head of the Blackwell's has adhered to this motto strictly, with Ava being no different. She is a remorseless woman who is willing to do anything to achieve her goals, her greatest aspiration being achieving complete and total immortality.

Outside of her duties as the head of her family, she is quite the amicable person however. Polite in conversation, only minimally condescending to those she considers below her, even progressive enough to keep up with the modern world of civilian entertainment. Although she is a bit behind when it comes to the latest trends, but she tries nonetheless. Some would call her stiff, although she just likes to think of herself as holding herself to a higher standard then others when it comes to politeness.

As an aside, she isn't very good at smiling. She can feel happy, but her smile just looks incredibly awkward.

Brief Backstory: The Blackmore family was first borne around the late 1400s when Arnold Blackmore married a witch. Yes, the stereotypical kind of witch, bubbling cauldron and all. But she also studied Witchcraft, teaching her craft to her new love. She chose to abandon her last name and take on the name of Blackmore, which is where our story begins.

Fast forward about 400 years later, the year is 1929. Ava Blackwell has been born and is introduced to the world of Magecraft. Ten year later she receives the family crest and continues along the usual path of Magecraft. The family goal has always been to reach the Swirl of the Root of course, no matter how many generations it may take. But Ava's thinking differs on the matter. What is the point? If she can't reach it herself, why even bother? To live vicariously through your offspring is pathetic, you must be the one to achieve your goals if the achievement is to mean anything. As it stands, she is just the inheritor of a dream that was not even hers to begin with. So unbeknownst to any in her family, she abandons the family goal and begins work on something new. Ava wanted to achieve true immortality via Alchemy and Witchcraft.

Fast forward almost a century later, the year is 2004. Ava has stopped by the Clock Tower after a journey to China to study their newest medicine. She feels as though she is reaching the end of the road, she must take more drastic measures if she is to advance her Magecraft further. In the middle of her musings, three Command Seals appear on her hand. Tokiomi Tohsaka was lucky enough to get his hands on her first, explaining the complexities of this ritual. Of course she had the option to say no, but something about this Holy Grail War had caught her attention. A chance for one free wish. The words of her ancestors rung in her ears as she considered what she was agreeing to. Her chance at achieving true immortality. All that was needed of her was to slaughter her way to the top, winning the Holy Grail.

"The ends justify the means."

---

Skills: While Ava is a Magus first and foremost, she has also studied the human body extensively during her studies of Alchemy. On top of this she has kept up to date with modern medicine, to try and gain an edge over the archaic Mages that infest Magus society today. If she had gone to a normal medical school, she would likely be one of the best doctors of her time, having studied medicine from all over the world in her travels. She is well versed in surgery as well, having studied in the Netherlands for a few years during the 70s.

Abilities: Ava is a master of Witchcraft and Alchemy, having several centuries of knowledge on the subjects stored in her Crest on top of what else she has learned in her 70+ years of life. She of course knows all the basics of Magecraft, however she has recently taken to training in it's more practical uses, such as Reinforcement of the body and High Speed Incantations. Her greatest tool in battle is preparation, creating powerful potions and poisons ahead of time to kill her opponent with as little effort and resources expended as possible. However not everyone gets that kind of time, so she has boiled Alchemy down to the barest science she possibly can with what she's dubbed as "The Black Forest Alchemy Kit". A variety of potion ingredients stored in her pack, able to create simple yet effective potions within even 10 seconds. All she needs is the time to add a dash of a few ingredients into pre-prepared bottles of ether infused water to create, an instant smokescreen, a minor paralytic poison, a small explosion, and other such things of that nature.

@Reflection You've already been told that you're not going to be accepted. Trying again for a different class but copying and pasting the wiki page for said character is not helping at all. The prior verdict stands.

@floodtalon: Accepted.

[Argonaut]

I came here to laugh at you

"Trust me, i'm an Engineer"

Name: Atrum Galliasta
Age: 30
Gender: Male

Personality: Being a pompous prick to women, having the feeling of entitlement due to his riches, sacrificing humans by any means in exchange for replicating magical energy in his workshop, disappointed that his servant is incapable of summoning a dragon under his irrational whim and calls her a 'vixen' in result of caster's retaliation towards him causing him his untimely death, this was not the vile man in this alternate universe.

On the contrary, Atrum in this timeline is a decent human being, well almost to say the least..he still as an ego that won't quit, self-proclaiming himself a genius or a "scientific prodigy" when successfully manufacturing a discovery. An alchemist who strays away from human sacrifice and instead devote his studies to the field of a meteorologist, using natural resources and human engineer to advance his magecraft.

Abilities:
He is capable of weather-manipulation magecraft such as firing bolts of lightning during combat and performing much lengthier rituals in order to cause more large-scale weather changes. However, it is noted that his methods for performing such feats are not particularly efficient.

He has mystic codes to help him out to compensate for what he is lacking in mage craft:

Fire mittens and The Rod of Thunder: A mitten and a piece of stick that Atrum use to project his magecraft, mainly producing firebolts and lightning. With the snap of his fingers, these mystic codes generates and fires the designated element he requires in such circumstances.

Shades of collective memory: A mystic code in a form of an advanced state of the art shades that protects his eyes and has the ability to collect data from various resources, it can analyze the person, any object, or its surroundings down to his basic component and stores it in his database for 'research purposes'.

Cape of Protection: An insulation device that protects its user from sudden electrocution, the harsh breeze of a winter's embrace or the scorching heat of the Sahara, Perfect for conducting and tempering with the volatile elements such fire and lightning in his experiments and as well as in form of combat.

Brief Backstory: Atrum's family being newly established in the Mage's Association caused him to seek out prestige by winning the Holy Grail War. Like Bazett Fraga McRemitz, he was one of the magi backed by the power of the Association. Being new to the game, he has to compensate on what he is lacking in the form of the latest tech and the innovation of science.

Here Comes the Boom

Name:
Orin Ainsworth

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Appearance:


Personality:
Orin is a young man with a sarcastic and rather dark sense of humour, he is a man who values very little and disregards morales as things that just get in the way. Although that doesn’t mean he is completely heartless or sadistic, he is not afraid to show sympathy for someone but that won’t be making him change his actions any time soon. Orin fights for his family and would do just about anything for them, no matter how despicable that might be. The only caveat being insurance that he will be well rewarded for whatever he does.

Orin tries to be realistic with his ambitions and goals, if there is a situation that looks bad for him then he will avoid it, or back out of it at the first opportunity. He is not afraid to use any underhanded tactic to gain and advantage over other and attempts to act in a pragmatic way, with the main focus on securing his own safety and success.

Skills:
- Orin regularly trains in boxing and brazilian jiu jitsu as a means of self defence, if someone attacks him physically he wants to be able to handle himself, and his attacker for that matter. Luckily for Orin he was born with rare athletic talent and has become a rather impressive combatant in his chosen disciplines.
- A skilled driver of both cars and motorbikes.

Abilities:
- Orin is rather competent in the General Magecraft that is expected of all magi to learn.
- Makes use of his families magecraft, Flash Air, using it to displace various objects within a room. As well as transporting in ones of his own making…
- His expertise is using his abilities as a magus for the creation of explosive devices, remote controlled bombs in various shapes and sizes that can be activated with his magic circuits or a mystic code he has designed specifically for it.

Brief Backstory:
Orin, born a son of the famous Ainsworth family there was a lot for him to live up to. His magus circuits were nothing to be particularly proud of, they were rather average and actually quite disappointing compared to the other magus in his family. But this wasn’t something that ever bothered him, he was not one to be jealous of the gifts of others and he always made the best of what he had. Orin was by no means considered a weak mage, he attended to his studies wholeheartedly and soon became extremely focused on his magecraft. He chose to specialise in the creation of explosives, some he kept for himself, to test and perhaps for future use. And others he sold to the mage’s association or freelancer magi. Orin has already been of some use to his family through the various patents he has pertaining magical explosives on the magic market, creating another vein of income for the Ainsworths.

Orin had nothing to do with the Einzbern raid. Well not personally at least. He has no particular wish for the Holy Grail or really a reason that he wants to take part in the war. But it has fallen upon him to represent his family, and he may as well have fun as he does it. It also gives him the chance to test out his stuff.

@Argonaut: Once you make those edits we'll take another look.

@Kyoka: Not seeing any issues myself, here, so I'm all for his acceptance, but I'll let my co-GMs take a look too.

[Argonaut]

so yeah, i did the thing, and quickly edit his equipment. :^) @VitaVitaAR

[VitaVitaAR]

@Argonaut: Alright I think you've made all the necessary edits, accepted.

@Kyoka: Hmm... I think you should maybe reword the bombs a little bit? Sorry, right now it still reads like they're regular bombs he builds which feels out of place for a traditional family like the Ainsworths. ^^; But if they're kind of like one-use mystic codes(or extensions of the mystic code he uses to detonate them) that's very nasty combined with flash air.

A Horny Furby

• Name: Furbaide Ferbend
• Class: Assassin
• Appearance: C E L T I C B O D Y S U I T S
• Personality: Assassin is a "boy", and as a boy, he lacks the wisdom and maturity of a "man". This does not stop him from insisting he is a man, however. He strives to become a better warrior and prove he can handle himself, but often finds he has a soft-heartedness ill-fit for a warrior. Thus he claims his goal for the Holy Grail is “bragging rights”, but that’s probably not what it is. Similarly, Assassin can often be found trying to imitate the mannerisms of those he respects greatly, which is why he exhibits outward mannerisms like those of a blue dog. He possesses a fondness for cheese and cheese-flavored products except for cream cheese, and gets mad when people call him by his lame birth name (Diarmaid) and not his much cooler name of Furbaide Ferbend (approx. Cutting Horned Man).
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: D
  • Endurance: E
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: C
  • Luck: A
  • Noble Phantasm: B
• Class Skills:
  
  Presence Concealment: B+
  Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. It is possible to disappear and become extremely difficult to be detected. The rank of Presence Concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack... would be the normal case. Instead, Presence Concealment does not drop until Assassin's first attack has already commenced. This is because, in legend, Assassin was never detected by the target of his assassination, nor anyone else.
• Personal Skills:
  
  Rune Magic: C
  Possession of Runes - the Magic Crest of Northern Europe. As a member of the Knights of the Red Branch and protege of the greatest of their number, Assassin is versed in the use of the four runes passed among their order: Algiz, Nauthiz, Ansuz, and Ingwaz. Although not a magus by any means, Assassin is well-versed in the applications of what little he knows--especially when it comes to launching runestones from a sling.
  
  Blinding Visage: B
  A skill similar to, but inherently different from, Rosy Cheeked Adonis. If that skill is denotes a youthful beauty that charms, this skill refers to a supernatural beauty that overwhelms. When employed against an individual, it functions as a stunning mental attack.
  
  In life, Assassin employed this skill against the forces of the Erainn people, who would rather die than tarnish his cute little face, as well as against Cu Chulainn himself, whose Warp Spasm was abetted merely by the sight of Assassin's tears.
  
  Horned One: EX
  The right granted to heroes identified with the archetypal horned god of the Celts. It is said that the three horns of horned god represent the branches of the trees, his animal nature, and his crown as "king" of the wilderness. Assassin was born into this world via caesarean section from his mother's waterlogged corpse. Born from death with three horns atop his head, Assassin has been identified with the god Cernunnos, and his legend has been considered one possibly representing a conflict between the old gods of agrarian and hunter communities.
  
  This skill appends a status of "one with the wild" onto those who possess it. That is, in "wilderness" areas Assassin is granted extension of senses and detective capabilities across, and constant concealment of presence within, the limits of the appropriate area. At the same time, abilities and parameters receive a significant demerit in areas associated with civilization.
  
  To fight Assassin is to fight the wilderness itself, but it is certainly unfortunate for Assassin that humanity has become very good at fighting the wilderness.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Great Horned Hunt - Birthright of the Wild King
  • Rank: B (A)
  • Type: Unknown
  • Appearance: N/A
  • Effects: In broadest possible terms, a Noble Phantasm tied to the feat of "killing Queen Medb with a piece of sling-shot cheese". However that is only a byproduct of this Noble Phantasm. It is much more accurately represented as the embodiment of two things: “the nature of Assassin’s weapon” and “Assassin’s own nature”.
    
    Assassin’s signature weapon, the sling, is one of the first weapons developed by humanity for the use of hunting and for war. This is because the sling is a weapon of the utmost simplicity: anything one can load into a sling, one can use as a weapon. Stones, small toys, fruit... even a piece of cheese all are valid bullets when combined with a sling. A sling then is not a complete “weapon” itself, but rather something that turns things that are not weapons into weapons.
    
    Assassin himself is a face the divine hunter that both saves and slaughters those that dwell in his domain to perpetuate the cycle of rebirth. His legend, particularly the feat most associated with this Noble Phantasm, has been interpreted as being a euhemerized expression of a divine conflict between a maternal fertility figure associated with civilization and a phallically-horned figure associated with the wild.
    
    As a Noble Phantasm is the ultimate expression of a hero’s legend, this Noble Phantasm draws on these two facets of his identity. Rather than a treasured sling, it is much more similar to a technique or a combat style that utilizes that sling. It receives a rank up in areas where Horned One is applicable.
    
    When this Noble Phantasm is used, ammunition is granted the status of a Noble Phantasm weapon with equivalent rank to this Noble Phantasm (or retains its rank if somehow Assassin acquires another Noble Phantasm) and an anti-civilization attribute. When the ammunition is loosed, a “shot of selective slaughter” is exhibited, which becomes variably Anti-Unit or Anti-Army as the targets demand. Failure to hit results excess magical energy fostering the rapid development of flora in the area rather than an explosive impact; a shot that selects is only supposed to kill the people it chooses after all.

Master hypothetically up later but practically probably not.

@Grey: Hmmm... going to be honest, he doesn't seem like much of an Assassin in this state. He's more of an Archer then anything, lacking the usual sure kill NP Assassins tend to have.

[Rin]

Master

• Name: Sister Prisca Kirchner
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Nun!
• Personality: Prisca is what most would describe as the ideal for a holy woman. Innocent, devout, and focused on her duties. However, this innocence comes with a somewhat naive nature. While she is not foolish, she does not know of all the workings of the world. She is not blindly trusting, and yet she does not always realize what is going on around her. Her knowledge of modern technology is more befitting of a traditional magus then anyone else. She enjoys peace and quiet and good books.
• Skills: Unlike other notable members of the Church, Prisca was never an Executor; her combat skills are negligible at best, and whilst she technically has the potential to use Black Keys the fact that she knows nothing of swordplay means that attempting to use them would most likely end with her hurting herself. She's more suited towards more bookish fields, and is well versed in the sacraments of the church and various supernatural phenomena related to her religion. Her cooking skills are terrible enough to technically count as a "power"; never accept anything cooked by her, as it most likely counts as a biohazard.
• Abilities: Sister Prisca has been taught the magic of the church, the holy sacraments that they consider to be non-heretical for one of their own to use. Her magic is mostly centered around support, and thus it has practically no directly offensive applications; it is mostly centered around healing and her elemental affinity for light. To help keep her alive as she investigates this supposed Grail, she has been gifted a protective Mystic Code, Deo Juvante: Vestments of the Saint. These vestments provide her additional protection from mundane weaponry (such as knives and small arms fire) and offensive magecraft, although naturally it is just as durable as regular clothing when faced with a Noble Phantasm (ie. not at all).
• Brief Backstory: Orphaned at a young age, Prisca was raised by the Catholic church and, naturally, grew up to become a nun. She was very devout and pledged to do anything for the Church, but rarely left her convent and was sheltered throughout her childhood. When the Church learned of a new Grail War, they naturally wanted to see if the replica was a true achievement in reproducing a holy relic. In addition to deploying the usual overseer, now someone far better equipped for overseeing the grail war, they also chose to enter their own competitor. With surprisingly high-quality magic circuits for an orphaned child, Prisca was trained in magecraft in order to pose as a more powerful challenger for the Grail, in spite of the Church's views on the practices. Now, Prisca has been flown to Japan to enter the Grail War for the sake of her Church and as an ally of the Tohsakas.

Caster of Red

Name: Gudrun(Kreimhild), the Shinning One; Queen of Hunland
Faction: Red
Class: Caster
Attribute: Earth
Alignment:

Personality:

A woman who experienced a terrible life full of tragedy, death, and near constant betrayal. Under any other class, her personality would certainly be much more dark and somber. However as Caster, it is the Gudrun who found peace during her several year tenure in Daneland. During that period, she distracted herself by creating a grand tapestry describing the past, present, and future of the Volsungs. In other words, she focused on her magecraft and found fulfillment within it. Caster truly gives herself over to the advancement of magecraft, finding comfort in a beneficial distraction. However, if she were a scientist instead of a magus, the moniker 'mad scientist' would be more than apt.

Regardless, the mental and emotional damage from her life is still manifested within her personality. Despite outward appearances, she still has a very alien mindset. Called "pure" by Brynhildr, this assessment isn't wrong at all. Internally she can very easily become envious or jealous. Her outward personality is vastly different from her feelings and true self bubbling under the surface- which is full of pain, despair, and malice. If these feelings reach a certain point, the result would be terrible- her story is that of a dark avenger, after all.

Caster is still a shield maiden who fights on the "frontline". In spite of the class container, she is still the Gudrun who will go on to oppose "even Attila" in open combat. Perhaps given her (relative)lack of burdens, the reasons for this will be more positive. Caster admires Heroes, seeing both her family and Sigurd within them. Without any hesitation, Gudrun takes up arms for what she sees as 'Justice', and what is 'right'. However, don't be fooled-

Stats

Strength: D
Endurance: D
Agility: C
Mana: A+
Luck: X(E)
NP: A

Class Skills

Territory Creation: D
Ability to create a territory advantageous to oneself as a magus. Because of her lifestyle the rank is excessively low. In Casters case the territory she creates is almost exclusively for item manufacturing. However in conjunction with the Noble Phantasm, it is possible to create a space favorable to 'Dragons'.

Item Creation: A+
Ability to create tools having magic power. As one of the main uses of this, there is the creation of Mystic Codes. Caster has numerous anecdotes of tool creation, gaining it at the highest rank. Among even Casters, she could be considered a special sort of genius. A witch who crafted tapestries foretelling the end of the Burgandians, armaments invulnerable to weapons, and various other powerful trinkets. Casters true talent lies within potions and various other tinctures. It could be said that her love potion(memory potion) guaranteed the various tragedies that took place within the later Volsunga saga.

Personal Skills

Seidr: B
The ancient system of the shamans and seers of Northen Europe, the Volva. In comparison to Runes, this thaumaturgy descends from the Great Mother Freya, making use of chants(Galdr). The owner of this Skill is given a plus modifier towards checks related to divination(precognition).

Primordial Rune: B
Possession of runes - the magic crest of Northern Europe. Caster has the capacity to use the 18 primal Runes discovered by Odin. By making proper use of this ability, powerful and varied effects are mastered. Her husband was granted the original runes by "that" woman, and Gudrun made use of them to warn the Niflungs of Atli's trap.

Crystallized Wisdom: A+
The wisdom gained from consuming the heart of a Dragon crystallized as glasses. Originally, a magical equipment that shouldn't exist in mythology. Even if another individual uses it, due to the enormous amount of information, a severe headache would occur. It is a skill that is most suited for the Caster class in particular. Gudrun foresaw the rise and fall of the "King of Warriors" Sigurd- that natural aptitude as a Prophetess has manifested within this skill.

Noble Phantasm(s)

_Andvaranaut
Cursed Yield of Andvari
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Army
Appearance: A flawless golden ring with such luster that it truly embodies the concept of wealth itself.

The cursed Rheingold contained within the form of a ring- in other words, the physical embodiment of the unending wealth of Fafnir's horde. It was a ring coveted by the Gods, Giants, and Dwarves until mortal heroes found it in their hands. Its true capacity is to create or amplify 'wealth' without limit. Andvaranaut was Sigurd's bridal gift to Gudrun, alongside the heart(wisdom) of Fafnir. Simply put, it is Gudruns wedding ring- to her, it has meaning beyond just its material value.

Within the context of a Holy Grail War, it is used to produce volumes of treasure(resources) useful for Item Creation. With this function in mind, it can even be used to gain access to precious metals unavailable to the modern world. Because it has authority over "wealth" itself, even something like modern money can be gained or amplified. Not only that, it is an excellent storage tool for 'treasure' as well.

With true name invocation, the event of distracting Atli's massive court with gold is replicated. Cursed treasure streams forth from above, drowning Gudrun's target(s) under endless 'wealth'. It can be manipulated to focus on a large area, or directed toward just a single target. The Noble Phantasm's rank is the damage value inflicted by this rain of gold. Per legend, the true intent of such an attack isn't necessarily damage, but 'pinning' the opponent.

The owner always has LCK at rank-down. Not only that, but LCK cannot be raised under any circumstance. One cannot forget that it is Gold that was cursed by the Gods, Dwarves, and Giants who desired it.

However. . .

From the lunatic perspective of Gudrun, even those terrible curses are a 'resource' to be exploited for Item Creation.

_{Auðun Gram}
Heaven's Ruinous Dusk
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Fortress
Appearance: A hybrid between a norse styled sword and a magical stave.

The greatest demonic sword, "Gram". The weapon of the great Norse Knight who was said to be the equal of a certain British King.

A weapon borrowed from her husband, and perhaps used by Gudrun to kill King Atli in the climax of Volsunga. It has been modified to be more suitable for a "Caster". Typically she stores it within Andvaranaut until it's needed. While it is still functional as a melee weapon, she typically uses it in conjunction with her magecraft as a amplification device for curses.

When its true name is invoked, the full power of Gram will be demonstrated. Using her wedding ring as a power source, Caster uses Gram's capacity as the Demonic Sword of Ruin to amplify its curses. Suspending Gram within magic circles as the central component of something like an Ether Cannon, Grams attribute of "Ruin" is pushed to the limit. A great curse taking the form of flares from the sun are released on the target, bringing calamity and ruin on whatever is reached. These can be released in a multitude of 'flares' or a singular massive one. It is a strike that burns away the world, leaving nothing but accursed land abandoned by the Gods.

Embodying a dolorous stroke which brings a great cycle to its close- the beginning and end of the Volsunga saga is demonstrated through the combined power of Andvaranaut and Gram. This is a conceptualization enforcing the end of the Hero-Race of Niflungs, as well as Atli himself. In other words, the strike that smote both Atli and his Hunnic Empire.

Gudrun's compatibility with the "Sword of the Sun" is high, which is no oddity given her epithet as "The Shinning One". Even still, it is an unwieldy attack and not normally useful in a personal duel. It is best used against enemy Noble Phantasms or static opponents under normal circumstances.

As an aside, within the Ring Cycle, the story of the Burgandians and Sigurd runs parallel to the Twilight of the Gods and the beginning of Ragnarok. As the cycle and story of the Niflungs ends, so too does the story(authority) of the Gods.

Changes

Folded Grimhild into Gudrun per Fragments. Tried to synchronize some of Gudrun and Kriemhildes elements.

Filling the last spot on Red Team since things got a little messy, unfortunately.

• Name: Jack the Ripper
• Class: Assassin
• Appearance: Devil in Disguise
• Personality: It can be said that, in some ways, Assassin is somewhat contradictory. She appears pure and innocent, desiring simply to feel the love of a Mother. And yet she is a remorseless killer who does not hesitate to strike. She appears naive and childish, but is quick-thinking and remarkably intelligent. Regardless, it is immediately obvious on her summoning that Assassin attaches herself to her Master, especially if they are female, like glue. She desires to be praised, to be treated with affection by her Master. Indeed, female Masters are referred to exclusively as Mother by the young girl. When she is treated kindly, her behavior will reflect this treatment and she will happily return kindness both to her Master and to others. Cruel treatment will slowly damage her psyche. Beyond these traits, Assassin is almost desperate when it comes to food, and while she is incredibly affectionate towards her Master she will be nervous and uncertain about being touched to begin with. Additionally, while she can show cheerful behavior, she is prone to depressive moments, as well as a shyer side. Loud or overly crowded situations will leave her likely to attempt to conceal herself behind her Master. Still, while one side of her appears to be an innocent girl, the other side of her is hardly hidden. Assassin has absolutely no hesitation when it comes to the matter of killing, and will even ask her Master if it is acceptable to kill any given target she chooses. She is, after all, a serial killer right out of legend.
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: C
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: C
  • Luck: E
  • Noble Phantasm: C
• Class Skills:
  • Presence Concealment: A+
• Personal Skills:
  • Murderer of the Misty Night: A. Assassin possesses the capacity to strike opponents while they are unguarded. This becomes uncontested as long as it is night.
  • Mental Pollution: C. Due to the horrible conditions of her life, Assassin's psyche is fractured, rendering it difficult to effect her mind via magecraft. If Assassin is treated with cruelty, this skill will increase in rank, but her mind will become completely shattered. However, positive treatment will cause this skill to become inert.
  • Information Erasure: B. A undiscovered killer in life, this trait manifests as a skill that causes all traces of Assassin to be wiped away at the conclusion of an engagement. Even memories of her presence are lost, and images captured on recordings vanish. However, physical signs of the encounter still remain.
  • Surgical Procedure: E. An inexplicable capability demonstrated by the surgical precision with which Assassin's victims were dissected, Assassin is capable of performing surgery in order to heal herself and others. In spite of the unreliable appearance of the procedure and its aftermath, even severed limbs can be repaired to proper functionality.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Maria the Ripper: The Holy Mother of Dismemberment
  • Rank: D~B
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: The four oddly-shaped knives utilized by Assassin.
  • Effects: A curse fueled by the rage of the hundreds of thousands of angry phantoms inhabiting Assassin's body, resulting in a conditional instant kill upon her target. Physical defense is completely impossible, but conceptual defenses or a resistance to curses may allow survival. Upon the invocation of this Noble Phantasm, a check is performed to confirm three conditions. First, if it is night. Then, if it is foggy. Finally, if the target is female. If all three of these conditions are met, the four knives utilized by Assassin materialize inside the target's body before carving their way back out, pulling out the target's internal organs with them. Through this manner, any victim of Assassin's Noble Phantasm is unquestionably transformed into an eviscerated corpse. However, this requires a fulfillment of all three conditions and no resistance to curses. In spite of this, even if these conditions are not met, the curse still inflicts internal damage as the knives appear inside the victim and cut away at their internal organs. It will simply fail to to actually kill them, instead leaving them with violent, but nonlethal, internal injury. However, if none of the conditions are met, the curse will fail to activate.
  
  
  • Name: The Mist: Darkened Misty Metropolis
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Bounded Field
  • Appearance: A mist that pours from an antique candlelit lantern.
  • Effects: The embodiment of the choking mist that filled the streets of London during Assassin's lifetime, The Mist is a bounded field that inflicts a poisonous effect upon all who become trapped within it. In spite of this, Assassin is capable of designating targets within The Mist to remain unaffected. Simply opening the lantern and touching the candle inside causes this Noble Phantasm to activate. Those who do not receive this protection are afflicted differently depending on their nature. A mundane human will choke on The Mist, weaken, and die in a relatively short period of time as the caustic fog burns their throat and eyes and renders it impossible for them to breath. A magus will resist the effects for somewhat longer, but they will eventually perish as well from taking a continuous assault on their body if they do not swiftly take countermeasures. Servants, however, will not take any damage from The Mist and instead will receive a rank down in agility. By utilizing The Mist, Assassin can fulfill one condition of Maria the Ripper, as well as disable targets in order to selectively kill them. Even against enemy Servants, The Mist allows her to gain an advantage in the form of surprise and her own unaffected Agility parameter.

Filling in the last red master slot:

• Name: Astra
• Age: 30's
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: No, I'm not being imaginative. Though this one is of mixed heritage.
• Personality: Though trying to maintain a cool, collected air--something that, admittedly, Astra has no trouble with when working--she's not so good at that in social settings, being quite easily irritated and hard to get along with. It's really not a good idea to ask about her family.
• Skills: Capable of functioning in modern society, even if she lacks any interest in modern technology, and skilled in actual fighting despite being a magus--mostly with knives, though she isn't inept at fighting completely unarmed.
• Abilities: Coming from a comparatively recent lineage of magi, her family really started to find its feet during the light eighteenth century and, not steeped in the centuries of mystery of other magical families, took a particular interest in this new-fangled electricity thing that was all the rage at the time, mostly for its applications in "hmm, can we use this to create life?" and bio-electricity, but its mechanical uses were of course considered in the process. Not that their wayward scion cares for any of this, save for having a magical circuit with more varied uses for the substance than is immediately apparent. Mostly she focuses on the more direct applications: electric shocks, creating magnetic fields to shoot knives at people (or smaller items if she's out of sharp pointy things), and interacting with mundane technology only in the "okay, stop working now" sense. Though she can control people via direct nerve signals.
  More general magecraft talents such as reinforcement are also part of Astra's repertoire, and she's gotten a lot of practice at dealing with bounded fields. Still, by the standards of magi, she's pretty third-rate.
• Brief Backstory: Astra deliberately keeps her family background under wraps, seeming quite ashamed of it--whatever happened to them happened when she was pretty young, before she was fully taught, and she ended up taking what talents she had and applying them as a mage killer for the Association. Still, it's clear she was raised as the child of a magus; she might hang around in the modern world a lot and play with electricity, but she doesn't get beyond "barely functional" at using tech.
  Her motivation to be in the war is greed, pure and simple. The Tohsaka needed Masters in a hurry, after all.
