Fate/Solipsistic Chaos

The Story So Far

The year is 2030, the Clock Tower has refused to end the Holy Grail War. Despite the wishes of the Tohsaka, Einzbern, and Matou families, the Clock Tower has hijacked the ritual in their mad scramble to reach the Root. Rin Tohsaka has been confined to her home in Fuyuki to keep her from interfering with the new war, Lord El-Melloi II under similar circumstances at the Clock Tower. Shirou Emiya and Illyasviel von Einzbern have left Fuyuki and are in hiding. The Matou family has collapsed. And the Grail?

It needs to grant a wish. All the magic that has failed to grant a wish for so long has become dangerous. That magic has become tendrils, reaching out into different worlds. Lostbelts connected to our world, if only for a moment. Pulling in Servants who might not have ever appeared in a normal war. This desperation calls out and Masters are created enmasse, Command Seals coming to even the desperate or weak.

Noticing this, the Clock Tower made the choice to bring the Grail War home to Europe, but that never came to be. In the middle of the Greater Grail's journey, it vanished. The couriers lay dead, and nothing but egg on the Clock Tower’s faces.

Until… the announcement. The Greater Grail had been stolen by the American Mage Association. Known to the Moonlit World as the Freemasons, the American Government Agency of Magecraft that has taken the Grail for their own. Now, the Grail is in Blue Fields, Montana, a lesser known location of the western part of the United States.

The date is December 10th, 2030. Your war begins now.

What is a Holy Grail War?

A battle for the Holy Grail. Not of legend, but rather, a mythical wish granting device created by German alchemists. For a standard Grail War, 7 servants are summoned by 7 masters(magi) to fight in a battle royale. The winning pair gets a single absolute wish- a fulfillment of any desire they have. This is not a standard Grail War, there is no limit on Masters and Servants here. Servants are incarnations of legendary figures summoned by the Holy Grail within a certain class. Their attributes as a Hero are determined by their class as a result. The ultimate expression of their legend, called a Noble Phantasm, are their main armament to achieve victory in the Holy Grail War. More can be read on the TM wiki, though it is not the best source so the GMs open to any questions. It is possible to play in this universe without any knowledge about Fate.

Everyone in the roleplay will apply a Master and a Servant. You may pair them with whoever you like, or with yourself. This is a versus roleplay, but in a casual sense. Try to make a story and have fun more than trying too hard to win it all. (After all, it’s about the journey, not the destination.) In the same breath, it’s a war so people will lose. A lot of what makes stuff like Fate/Apocrypha or Fate/Zero good is interactions between characters, so I'd like to think that's the focus of this roleplay.

Servant Sheets

Name:

Title(s):

Class: All options have been listed in the sheet for your convenience.

Knight Classes- (Saber, Archer, Lancer)

Cavalry Classes- (Rider, Assassin, Caster, Berserker)

Extra Class- (Avenger)

Gender: Obvious

Birth and Death Dates: Approximate if there isn't a definite one.

Alignment: Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Good, True Neutral, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Good, Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Evil, Chaotic Mad, Runaway Mad Enhancement

Catalyst: Completely optional, and mostly fluff. But this is the material used to summon your servant. Usually something important to their story, or something that can be linked back to them. Like a necklace, or the bones of an animal they killed.

Personality: Feel free to fill in as you please. Include why they answered the summons of the Holy Grail- what wish do they desire? Or perhaps do they just want to partake in glorious battle.

Appearance: This is what your character looks like; describe armor in Noble Phantasms if it's special. Unless stated otherwise pictures will be what your character looks like, exactly. If you have a picture delete this section and throw it at the top of the sheet.

Bio: Heroic Spirit's biography. If you're too lazy to write one use Wikipedia or another website for this, but this is your Servant's legend. You should have something here, for sure. Any changes to their characterization should be covered in this(King Arthur as a girl).

Weapon: Some Servants may use non Noble Phantasm weapons in combat. Usually this should only be one or two things as appropriate.

Parameters:

Strength: Damage. A rank STR means one attack can destroy a small house.

Endurance: Damage one can take. How much HP one has.

Agility: Dexterity or reaction time.

Mana: How much Prana one can handle.

Luck: Ability to defy fate.

Class Skills: For all skills. Please do not just put name and rank. Give an explanation of what it does. Your class skills are listed by class elsewhere. Use anecdotes, feats, and themes to gauge where this should be. Check the wiki for base skills, since it can give you a good jumping point.

Personal Skills: Certain abilities a Heroic Spirit may have, such as Charisma, Artistic Talent, etc. Keep close to the legend. Three maximum. Exceptional circumstances may bend this rule, however Personal Skills exist to create a themed servant so keep that in mind.

Noble Phantasm: Limit two. Exceptional circumstances may bend this rule, however Noble Phantasms exist to create a themed servant so keep that in mind.

Name:

Title: Kanji name. Usually an explanation like "Sword of Promised Victory."

Rank: E-EX. Plus modifiers are possible

NP Type:

Range: 1 is minimum, 99 is maximum. Format is usually something like 2-50, that's Via Expugnatio and Bellerophon's range. That means Via Expugnatio cannot attack you if your range is 1 from it.

Maximum Number of Targets: 1 to 1000. The format is usually a single number. This may get weird depending on your classification.

Description: What does it do? A paragraph for fluff and a paragraph for what it "does" is usually best. However I will trust you in the formatting. Try to be somewhat original here- Iskander is a really cool guy, so don't make Iskander 2, no one can do that.

If you have any questions regarding masters, let anyone of us know. We will be providing extra material in the Discord and the OOC.

Master Sheet

Name:

Title(s):

Appearance: (This is what your character looks like; a picture up top also works~)

Gender: (Duhh.)

Age: (How old is your character? The maximum age for a non-distorted magus is probably 300 years.)

Alignment: (Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Good, True Neutral, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Good, Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Evil)

Rank: (Your capability as a Magus. Use this even if you aren't part of the Association, as in that case it's just a designation it would use to describe your talent. Ranks are listed in the opening. If a member of the Association, it can be inflated by politics.)

Objective for the Grail: (What will you wish for? Or perhaps you have another aim for the Grail. . .)

Command Seal: (What will it look like when you summon your servant? Optional. Pictures are acceptable, just spoiler them.)

Personality: (A paragraph or so suffices. We want to leave room for development!)

Bio: (A few sentences, just a basic ideal. Include information on the family you're descended from. The more information on the family, the more its detailed, the more its coherent, the more justifiable having, say, an above average Magus is)

---

Magic Circuit Switch: (What activates your magic circuit. For example, Tohsaka Rin activates hers through the sound of stabbing herself in her heart. Emotions and feelings such as pain or sexual arousal also work. Optional, as it's fluff for your character.)

Number of Magic Circuits: Number of circuits. Ranked A-E. Modifiers allowed with scrutiny.

Quality of Magic Circuits: Amount of magical energy one circuit can safely hold. Ranked A-E. Modifiers allowed with scrutiny.

---

Elemental Affinity: (Average one's are acceptable, as well as dual elements. Valid elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Ether. Special elements beyond this are acceptable, but are under scrutiny. Additionally, you can list your Origin here if you want to bother with it.)

Magecraft: (Include all schools of magecraft you know, including General Magecraft(Things students at Clocktower would know). We assume they do not know the basics unless the basics are included as an example. If its not mentioned here it's assumed that particular type of magecraft is not something within their capabilities. Do not apply individual spells, but you can use them as examples.)

Crest: (Rough age of the crest, thus family. The magecraft within the crest is assumed to be in your magecraft section.)

Weapon: (Mystic codes, other weapons, etc. Any magus should have a few mystic codes, average for this sort of situation will be considered 3.)

Exceptional Benefit: Meant to be a representation of the special situation inherent to a specific Master. Representatives of the Mage Association, Church, or Middle Eastern organizations will have their own special benefits, with their own special risks.

Benefit Options

Second Owner- Your Magus' Family owns spiritual land somewhere in the world. You may summon your servant in America, or in your own land.

Superior Mystic Code- You may have an exceptional mystic code. It should have importance. It may be a family heirloom, a spoil of war, etc. It is a very high grade mystic code that won't count against your mystic code section in the sheet.

Finality- A singular spell that is a secret technique passed down through your family. It is truly exceptional at whatever it does. Only older families have these however.

Three Day Early Summoning- Your master arrived a bit early to the Grail War. They can summon their servant three days before anyone else. (Except for the Representatives.)

Supply Line- Due to support or contacts with an external organization, you will receive backup(material support typically) from an external organization. This could be your family, the Church, the Association, etc.

Support Magi- You arrived with ten average magi, or double that if it's normal people. Every four days, you get your starting amount as reinforcements.

Advanced Technology- You possess some degree of superior mechanical advantage over other mages. Either relying on it, or merely using it as an extra advantage.

Magus Ranks

A rough measure of your talent as a magus by the Mages Association. This does not necessarily reflect your circuits, though having good ones will make being a powerful magus easier. Ranks can be inflated by prestige or politics rather than talent however. An example of a magus of this caliber is next to each Rank.

Grand: Crown (Touko Aozaki)
Only a handful of Magi in the existence of the Association have ever reached this point. This is the height of Magecraft in the modern era, a level even the Lords of Clocktower are unlikely to reach. Put simply, monsters in the form of humans.

Brand: Color (Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald)
The level of a talented Lord of Clock Tower. A true prodigy is at this rank, someone who can revolutionize an entire field of magecraft just by existing. Around the absolute limit of someone like say, Rin Tohsaka. Those truly at the level of Brand in the Clocktower probably number in the couple hundred at most in its entire history.

Pride: Law (Nigel Sayward)
Exceptional Magus. Only a handful of Magi in a families entire history may exist at this rank. In fact a family is quite lucky to have such a great magus as their head at all. The difference between "Pride" and "Brand" is like the difference between the Heavens and the Earth below it.

Fes: Festival (Norikata Emiya)
A magus who has broken through the barrier that is 'my craft has matured and stabilized' and gotten past that important roadblock. A Fes is nothing to scoff at, if they received the rank from actual talent. In the history of their family, they will definitely be a noteworthy family head.

Cause: Open (Protagonist F/GO)
A magus who has fully stabilized their magecraft and its foundation. While this could be considered average, it is genuinely a feat to reach this point at all. Someone at this level is a "matured magus".

Count: Eldest Child (Kiritsugu)
Someone who uses magecraft at a level above a greenhorn, but has yet to stabilize their craft properly.

Frame: Youngest Child (Ayaka Sajyou)
Someone totally new to magecraft. A bit above the likes of Emiya Shirou, who can barely practice magecraft. At this level it's probably more about theory then actual magecraft.

[As an aside, highly ranked Masters will have their identity made public to other roleplayers.]

F/SN Terminology

(Weird F/SN terms that come up. A reference to draw upon as a quick messy resource. I oversimplified a lot of it, but it may help out people inexperienced or new to the universe.)

Boundary Field
Usually created via magical energy, these separate "inside" from "outside". Age makes boundary fields stronger, though not at a scale generally relevant to a Holy Grail War. Typically they are defensive and indirect in nature, and almost never directly interfere with humans. Good boundary fields are hard to notice. An Alarm Boundary field that notifies its owner of enemies is a good example.

Catalyst
A physical object that holds a connection to the Heroic Spirit(Servant) you wish to summon. Very expensive and rare for more than obvious reasons. If the catalyst has connection to multiple Heroes, then the Hero with the most affinity for a Master would be summoned.

Command Mantra
The latest addition to the Holy Grail War, devised by Matou Zouken. Three tattoo like emblems formed in a shape corresponding to the magecraft or mentality of the Magus. They appear immediately on your hand after summoning a Servant in the Holy Grail War. As crystallized miracles, they can be spent to give absolute orders to even Servants. If used in tandem with your Servant(and with proper wording), even Great Miracles can be achieved. One of the most used functions is summoning your servant to you in a moment of great duress.

Element
One of the Five Elements listed in the Master sheet. While elementalists do exist, it doesn't necessarily operate like Avatar: The Last Airbender. "Water" for example deals with flow, binding and manipulation. It is no surprise then that the familiar experts of the Matou family all have the Water element.

Familiar
Inferior lifeforms created by Magi, which share a link with them. They are assistants that spy, gather reagents, etc. They grow stronger with age, but aren't apprentices. Usually take the form of animals like cats, dogs, birds and so on. Most Magi make use of them because of their convenience. Servants are technically a kind of Familiar, but Servants are beings with more power than their "Masters". As a result, the absolute power of Command Mantra are a "Masters" leverage.

Heroic Spirit
Those who existed, fictional legends, real legends- all create "Heroic Spirits". Their achievements make them into existences of a much higher rank then any normal human. They are "stored" eternally on the Throne of Heroes, off the worlds time-axis. What is summoned by the Holy Grail is actually just a degraded copy of a "Heroic Spirit".

Homonculi
A form of inferior yet superior lifeform created with Western Alchemy. Their rank as lifeforms are low, but they usually possess magic circuits far superior than even the greatest magi. They are 'perfect' beings born with all knowledge to complete their designated job. However in exchange they usually have fatal flaw(s) such as being lame, or having very short lifespans.

Leyline(Including Fallen Leylines)
The heartbeat of the planet(life), where magical energy naturally flows. Fallen Leylines are places of power where the leylines have 'broken'. Thus the power along the leylines naturally pools at these places, making them excellent nodes to collect magical energy, do magecraft, or dominate leylines in the area around them. You will need to scout for these Leylines yourself if you wish to take them for yourself.

Magecraft
Using magical energy to effect change on the external world. Magi of the modern era make use of incantations as the basis of their magecraft. The strongest form of magecraft achievable in the modern era are Grand Rituals, which usually require multiple magi to perform. Reliant on Mystery.

Mages Association
International self-defense organization created by Mages for mages. It controls and helps develop magecraft, while protecting its mystery(hiding it from outsiders). For most Magi it is an important resource which they should make use of. They ignore hideous crimes as long as they don't expose magecraft. Led by the Clock Tower, based in London England.

Magic Circuit
A nervous system expressed from the soul itself. They are a mutation that is intentionally encouraged by Magi which allows magecraft in the modern era. By putting magical energy through them, Magecraft becomes possible. They can never be altered or changed after birth, and repairing them is almost impossible. Thus the system of Nobility inherent to Magi is highly encouraged, along with things like arranged marriages. The decline or loss of magic circuits is a fear beyond fear for Magi.

Magic Crest
The greatest treasure of any magus family. Magic circuits of previous heads engraved with the magecraft knowledge and research they completed in life. In that sense, they're like an inherited magical spellbook. They become stronger and more stable with age, and act as an organ transplanted from each head to the next. It is very difficult to transfer crests out of the bloodline, as rejection is likely. Almost always transferred at a young age.

Magical Energy(Prana, Od, Mana)
Magical energy(Prana) is used to power spells, sustain servants, etc. It is created by passing along od(internal life energy) or mana(external energy of the world) through a magic circuit. Od is always tiny in amount compared to mana.

Masters Clairvoyance
A special ability granted to all Masters in a Holy Grail War. It allows a Master to "see" the skills, parameters, class, general data, and noble phantasm of a servant as if reading a book- if they are demonstrated. Functionally, it means you can read that servants sheet or part of it.

Mystery
The "power" everything supernatural in this universe holds. To Magi, who use artificial mysteries(magecraft) it could be called the most valuable thing. As a result Magi are want to use their magecraft in front of others, let alone explain it. Stronger Mysteries always defeat lesser ones. A servant is a sort of living mystery, just as a Pegasus would be.

Mystic Code
Magical artifacts that Magi use to execute a predetermined function(spell), or amplify their magecraft. For example, a Magic Wand that flings fireballs or a Witches broom that lets you fly. Also called formalwear.

Noble Phantasm
Crystallized mysteries. They exist on a scale beyond normal mysteries, embodiments of the exalted legends of Heroes. They could be physical objects, weapons, or even more abstract things like curses, states of being, properties etc. It is good to use examples as references to what Noble Phantasms are and do. To fully utilize a Noble Phantasm, typically their true name must be invoked. Though Heroic Spirits aren't at the rank of beings such as Divine Spirits, Noble Phantasms allow them to 'defeat' even beings vastly superior to them.

How Ranks Work

EX-??? Off the scale
A-50 Highest
B-40 Above Average
C-30 Average
D-20 Below Average
E-10 Lowest

Modifiers
+ modifiers temporarily add the rank to itself under certain conditions, increasing it drastically. There is a maximum of three modifiers on a rank.

For example, A+ would be 100 on the numerical scale. A++ would be 150. A+++ would be 200.

Phantasmal Race
Existences of the highest order. Things of legend such as Dragons, Oni, Giants, or Pegasi. They are typically intrinsically things beyond humans, even Heroic Spirits(if the rank is high enough). In other words, they are living "Mysteries". The ranks are Monstrous Beast, Phantasmal Beast, and Divine Beast. While Riders tend to be individually weak- if their mount is from the Age of Gods, their Noble Phantasm tends to be supreme because Phantasmal Races are beyond servants. Age is what gives them power.

Second Owner
The assigned(By the Association) caretaker of a spiritual land with some amount of power.

Servant
What you will use to win the Holy Grail. High class spirits, and your familiar that talks back. Unfortunately. Though they are powerful(being immune to things without mystery), their greatest asset is typically always the Noble Phantasm.

Servant Knowledge
Servants are imparted with all necessary information(including language) to function in the modern world.

Servant Skill(Class, Personal)
Part of the Class Container given to Servants by the Grail. Class skills are inherent to the class container(IE Saber), while personal skills are something far more personalized.

Spellcaster
Someone who uses magecraft for the sake of magecraft, rather than for research toward the Truth. Hated and despised by most Magi. Kiritsugu was a Spellcaster.

Spiritual Form
The form Servants take when dematerialized. It conserves magical energy, lets them move through objects, makes them invisible, and even fly through the air. In other words, they become something like a "Ghost". After all that's what they are in a manner of speaking.

The Holy Grail(Lesser, Greater)
The device that summons servants. The Lesser Grail is the gateway to the Greater Grail, which is the actual omnipotent wishing device. In this story, the Lesser Grail, the "key" is in the possession of the Freemasons. It is a Golden Cup. Touch it if you dare.

Workshop
The territory of a Magus. Usually prepared to be highly receptive to their magecraft, workshops are the hearts of magi. Typically they make use of many boundary fields, traps, and amplifiers for their craft.

Map Areas

1) Forest - A rather simple area. The deeper areas tend to surround the nearby Military base. As such, entering without permission is dangerous, and hazardous to your health. Usually.
2) Industrial Zone - Partially populated, partially not. Rusted warehouses, intermixed with those that still stand strong. Old machines and oil wells, long dried up have been abandoned on the wayside.
3) Historical District - In between Downtown and the Forest lies the Historical District, surrounded by rivers. Rumored to have been built on an ancient Indian burial ground, Blue Field began here.
4) Downtown - The largest area so far, across the river from the forest. Tons of low rent apartments, so it’s a good place for a master to set up and scout from.
5) Park - The rich’s playground, expect to see lots of well off people hanging around during the day.
6) Rich District - Considered the location for rich industrialists, and those who want to get away from their rich homes to go to their… other… rich homes. A small district ruled by the elite. Recently a new skyscraper has begun construction there.
7) Plains - Government owned and protected, these wide and empty plains are home to a variety of wild animals. A great place to fight out of the eye of the public.
8) Poor District - This is a district of the poor, the desperate, and the needy. Not quite overpopulated, but it has slowly been filling up over the past 4 years thanks to the growing gap between the poor and the rich.
???) Military Base - Through the forest is the local military base, where members of the army are ready to respond to any threat around the state. This includes being called in to help the police should a situation grow out of control. Restricted area, do not enter.

RULES

1. Be nice.
2. No metagaming, powergaming, the basics really.
3. Be reasonable when apping Masters. I fully expect someone to go insane with their Servant, but I don’t want to see a Magus with True Magic participating in the war.
4. As per usual for these sorts of RPs, joke Servants, heroes older than Gilgamesh, and Gods are not applicable. Note however that we are not stopping you from apping “Lostbelt” Servants. If you can come up with a cool alternate universe version of someone, feel free. However these Servants will be under heavy scrutiny, with a maximum of three “Lostbelts”.
5. If you lose your Servant in the middle of the war, there is no need to fear. You can resummon at the cost of 1 Command Seal, however you cannot resummon the same Servant twice. Resummoning will get more expensive as the war continues.
6. Don’t turtle up in your Workshop. While we won’t stop you, we won’t intervene when someone finds your base and immediately uses an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm on you with no chance of escape. Go out and fight, that’s the whole point of a Holy Grail War.
7. There are only the classic servant classes available. The only extra class is Avenger, which can be applied for under certain circumstances.
8. You must complete both Master and Servant CS before pairing up with other players, this is to avoid your partner getting stuck without a Master/Servant.
9. Have fun and make sure everyone else has fun! While this is a PvP RP with a high probability of characters dying, let’s make sure everyone gets to do some cool stuff yeah?

---

Rule of Cool

Alright this is what everyone's been waiting for. The battle system, Rule of Cool.

1. The most important rule in Rule of Cool is to make sure everyone has fun! While everyone wants to win the war, everyone also wants to have fun, so make battles cool and engaging.

2. Talking is a free action. While this sounds simple at first, this rule can sometimes extend to Command Seals if they can raise the dramatic tension of a battle enough.

3. Every Servant has one battle to show off their coolness with minimal risks of dying. That means the first battle your Servant gets into, they can come out alive at the end of it, almost guaranteed! Of course there may be fringe cases where death is the only option, but let’s try to avoid those. This rule ends after Day 2, once the third day begins the war truly starts getting serious.

4. Please don't have Servants attack Masters. It's overkill of the highest degree and isn't all that cool. If you truly want to kill a Master, send in your own Master to do battle. The exception to this rule is of course Assassins, so stay on guard!

5. The fundamental basis of the Rule of Cool system. If you do something cool enough to raise the stakes in a fight, show creative thinking in attacking your opponent or defending yourself, or are just generally cool enough, the GMs will consider letting your action go uncontested. Ideally most battles should be worked out between players so the GMs don't have to step in, but when we do we will be judging a variety of factors including, quality of writing, creativity, circumstances of battle, and other such factors. Remember, the cooler your action is, the more you can get away with! At absolute maximum cool, if you can pull off a dramatic enough action at the end of a battle, you might be able to outright kill your opponent!

6. To reiterate one more time. Please don't be mean. We understand that you may be well versed in Type-Moon lore and can do some really complicated things. But don't use that knowledge to bully those who aren't as familiar with the systems in play. It's just not cool.

[Reflection]

Hey folks, I'm one of the GMs for this. So let me, Floodtalon, or Red Alice know if you're interested, and we can help you with a character if you have trouble.

[Reflection]

Side note: For anybody who wants to, you may have your NPs hidden. Just PM the GMs with your NPs, and we'll let you keep them hidden until you use them. Mostly because some are just too cool to not reveal in an action scene.

Sargon of Akkad

_________________________________________________________________________________________
Name: Sargon of Akkad
Title: King of Battle, Sargon the Great
Class: Rider
Gender: Male
Birth and Death Dates: Mesopotamian Era
Alignment: Chaotic Good
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Personality: This is a conqueror. A true king, a powerful king. But not arrogant. Rather he is proud, like a lion. He is a man who rose to the top to become the perfect king. He is not a tyrant, but rather a man who shares his wealth with the people of his city. But it is not because he cares for his people, but rather his city. As long as they are in his city, they are welcomed and beloved, but if they are an outsider, or an enemy, he will attempt to subjugate them. To control them and make them a part of his city. Like another treasure.
To him, people are treasures. Things to collect. Collect and add them to his treasury. But he is not heartless, and keeps his treasures cleaned and well treated. In a way, if a treasure is reduced to having no value, he will raise it up. Because it is valuable to him.
This kind of mentality may be why Ishtar loves him so.

Bio:
He is Sargon. Conqueror and King undisputed. But he did not start this way. No. For he often claimed, and many around him agreed that his origins were humble, and his life simple. A blessing in a way for such a great man. Because life began in a temple. His mother was a changeling priestess of Ishtar, who was so heavily hidden by cloth that their gender remains unknown. Only that one day, there was a child, with their partner unknown. Some believe he could have been birthed from the divines. But a temple is not a place to raise a child, and wrapped in a blanket, and placed in a basket, he was sealed in tar and sent down the river. This is called the Ordeal. A challenge for convicts and those seeking divine blessing. Very few survive, and none a child. But Sargon did, and he was took in by a gardener of the royal palace. raised as a child there, he became the cup-bearer of the powerful king of Akkad. A man named Ur-Zababa.

It was a peaceful life, until the nightmares. Every night Sargon was besieged by dreams sent to him by Ishtar. In these dreams he was the lover of the goddess, and in those dreams he would see the king Ur-Zababa drowned. He refused to sleep, least he be tormented by these dreams of the king drowning, and his service slipped him. Eventually, even Ur-Zababa took notice of Sargon's fatigue, and while the youth refused to speak, he eventually relented. And he told Ur-Zababa of his death by drowning. In fear of the youth's dream, Ur-Zababa outlawed all bathing. But his fear only grew, and he saw Sargon as a threat. Turning to his trusted advisors he sent Sargon off to be butchered by bandits, but with the blessing of Ishtar he returned. Several times this happened, until Sargon returned to a furious king Ur-Zababa, who sought to kill the young man himself. Attacking Sargon, the youth protected himself, and in their duel he was forced to drown the king in a pool of his own blood. The people of Akkad were without ruler, and Sargon united them. For he was beloved by his people for his humble origins, and his kindness to those beneath him.

And yet his kingdom was not well. They were a poor kingdom built on clay, and the poorest starved almost daily. Going into the storehouses, Sargon offered daily bread to any who would join his army. Making no exception on weak or ill. He created an army of five thousand, almost all of his subjects, and he began a campaign of conquest. Striking out against his neighbors, his kingdom began to grow as he usurped others and took their possessions. By adding their fields and crops to his own army he was able to further protect his people, by rebuilding Akkad with this new wealth.

His conquest continued, and those that irked him faced his wrath. In certain tales, those that insulted his honor would have their entire civilization wiped form the face of the earth. Until he finally set his eyes on brilliant Babylon. The gods came to him, telling him to abandon his lust for the golden treasure vaults of legendary city, but he ignored them. He saw the black soil, and craved it for his own lands. Over the course of a year he besieged Babylon until it finally collapsed beneath his power. In order to commemorate his victory, he had his armies carry the fertile black soil to Akkad, where they would grow grand gardens. He took the hanging gardens, and emptied the vaults of all their belongings. But this was a truly evil action before the gods, and they cursed him.

They sent gods and divines to slay him, and yet Ishtar still loved him. He won every battle, and while his kingdom did suffer famines, he ruled as a fair and beloved king that was viewed as the greatest of his kind. In time, even Sargon passed on, and his people fell to tears. He had ruled for 55 years, and laid the ground works for an empire that lasted for over two thousand more. But in history, that was just a blip in time... But none forget about Sargon.

Normally, Sargon would appear in a different form. But as the love of Ishtar, who loved Gilgamesh as well, he has been changed to fit the form she adores most. This changes him to appear more like Gilgamesh, something he isn't fond of.

Weapon: Sargon is summoned with an armory of weapons. Swords, shields, and armor can all be summoned to him. What he doesn't have he can always create using his noble phantasm, all of which can be dematerialized until he summons it again to himself. Certain structures though, like builds cannot be dematerialized in that way.

Personal Skills:
- Affection of the Goddess A: Sargon came from humble beginnings, being an orphan in basket sent down the river. But as fate would have it he grew up to become the ruler of an Empire. Rider attributes all this to the patronage of Ishtar. All Parameters are Ranked-up and he gains Divinity at C-Rank. This has the secondary effect of changing his appearance to that of Gilgamesh. Ishtar's other love.
- Military Tactics B: The 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.
- Golden Rule A: Sargon pillaged many cities, and became the first true emperor of the ancient world. He once ransacked ancient Babylon, and claimed all its prizes for himself. But by that time, many of Gilgamesh's treasures had been scattered. Leaving Sargon with only the scraps of what the king of heroes left behind. But he still maintained a wealth that far outreaches even kings of other great nations.
- Conqueror's Charisma A: An advanced form of Charisma, born from the man who established the concept of building an empire. His presence can be considered an aura. A crushing weight of a man who all others copy. To the surrounding people, the strong intimidating air results in an intense "heavy pressure" that lowers the rank of their full capacity. In the case of an ordinary human, even seeing will prove to be difficult. It is possible to subvert this skill with a charisma of B, or a skill that nullifies the effects of charisma, like Nature of a Rebellious Spirit at a rank of B as well.

Ajax

Ajax the Great

Name: Telamonius Ajax

Title(s): Ajax the Greater, Bulwark of the Achaens.

Class: Lancer

Gender: Female

Birth and Death Dates: unknown

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Catalyst: A fragment of her shield.

Personality: A silent, slow speaking warrior, who hides her intelligence behind a facade of being a muscle head. Slow to anger, but fervent in action, she matches the description of an unstoppable wall often used to describe her. She is however, very prideful, being confident in her own abilities, and not without good reason. A warrior of deep burning passion beneath calm icy exterior.

Bio: The great Greek warrior that followed Agamemnon to siege Troy, large in stature, second only to Achilles himself, but only in being faster than she was. In the Trojan war, she fought off many opponents, even almost beating down Hector himself, if not for the intervention of the gods. Such was her might, that she managed to hold off an entire army by herself, wielding only an enormous pole.

However, when Achilles fell, Odesseus won the rights to his armor, which Ajax resented greatly, thinking he had tricked her out of her rightful prize. For indeed, in her mind there was no one else who could truly say they were strong enough to truly be worthy of Achilles' armaments. Foolishly she turned to drinking, and deep in her cup, slayed a flock of sheep. Feeling remorse and regret at what she had done as well as the dual dishonor upon her, she fell upon her own sword and took her life.

Weapon: Spear and the shield, or she might use the sword given to her by Hector after their duel.

Parameters:

Strength: A

Endurance: B+

Agility: B

Mana: D

Luck: D

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: C
Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.

Personal Skills:
Bulwark of the Achaens: -
A personal skill derived from the feats she performed, it allows for her to utilize her usual fighting methods under incredible odds, powering her up the more dire a situation is. As the Bulwark of the Achaens, she was expected to be the 'Shield' that protects all of Greece. Thus, with all the expectations of her to 'Protect', she boasts high defensive qualities normally.

Eye of the Mind(False): B
Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning.

Projectile (Spears): B+
Without accounting for her own strength, allows for throwing objects with force rivaling modern weapons in destructive power. When throwing "spears" in particular, a correction is made.

Battle Continuation: B
As someone who can be stubborn as a mule, it encompasses her sheer bullheadedness and unwillingness to die even if she was killed on the battlefield. Being too stubborn to die sounds exactly like her, many of her comrades would agree.

Noble Phantasm:

Name:Rho Aias

Title: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens

Rank: A+

NP Type: Barrier

Range: 0

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: A bronze shield covered in seven layers of oxhide in its normal form, an absolute beast of a shield that many would describe as something Ajax would carry around like a wall. Indeed, with her large stature and its size, it has been used before by Ajax the Lesser as cover, while Ajax the Greater would simply defend him. Even in its base form it possesses immense defensive power. When its full name is released, it can be projected as a large shield with seven petals or seven layers, each having the defensive power of a fortress. A conceptual item that becomes an absolute defense against any projectile, though it may still be used defensively against other sorts of attack. Unless you were the absolute brute that Ajax was, who can and will use it to smash enemies. Especially against throwing weapons, it is extra effective. The shield is synonymous with Lancers body, so it will regenerate over time as long as she still has life. Conversely however, damage done to the shield is reflected on Ajax herself.

The original of the Rho Aias a certain archer copied, and thus far stronger than the fake.

****

Name: Glory of the Unconquered

Title: These Unblemished Hands Grasp Victory

Rank: D

NP Type: Anti Unit

Range: 0

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: The undefeated, the unconquered, not once had Ajax been beaten upon the field of battle, nor was she wounded even once. A staggering feat especially considering the Siege of Troy was one the gods took special interest in. Having no assistance from the gods, she performed outstanding feats, almost defeating Hector himself up to holding back an entire army armed with only a large pole. The only one to defeat her was herself and her sorrow.

Her strong desire to be the Shield of Achaea along with her feats of never being reliant on the Gods evolved into a form of grudge. It is a curse that crystallized as her body itself, becoming a distant mimicry of a blessing of immortality. It is incomparable to a gift given from the Gods, but still is a burden of the body. A condition of the mind and body that raise her damage resistance significantly as a form of purge defense. As well, a portion of damage received is converted into magical energy and stamina. After all- Ajax is never "injured". Even if harm is inflicted on her, it is to reach an inevitable victory.

Mage Rika

Name: Frederika Bernstein

Title(s): None

Appearance:

Appearance

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

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Rank: Cause:Open
Her official rank as far as the Magus Association was concerned, granted as a way for them to encourage her to be more involved with them. While she has good mastery over her family's craft to warrant this title, she does not do well in other fields, and thus this rank was little more than just a title.

Objective for the Grail: "Why am I in this? I just want a quiet life!"

Command Seal: An equilateral triangle separated at the middle point of each line, with a point at only the right side of each broken line.

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

Bio: Her family had always been the reclusive types, though they were known to the Mage's Association, thus she had lived in Germany for as long as she knew, learning her family's secrets and memorizing all the different rituals, the techniques involved in the rituals themselves and even how to condense them. After that, she was supposed to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors before her; travelling around the world to find more to research and assimilate into their craft. They believed that some day they will be able to reach the Root should they manage to fabricate a ritual that allowed them to do so.

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

Perhaps it was just as well, for she, like most of her family, had no real interest in getting involved with the politics of the outside world, much less the politics going on in the Mages' Association. Until, of course, she travelled to America, seeking to research and catalogue the shamans there, and got inevitably pulled into a Grail War without even realising it.

Magic Circuit Switch: A water droplet falling upon a pool, rippling outwards.

Number of Magic Circuits: C

Quality of Magic Circuits: A

---

Elemental Affinity: Water

Magecraft:
Formalcraft: A variety of Formalcrafts, ranging from ones passed down and recorded from ancient times to ones the Bernstein family had developed themselves. A simple one could simply be taking a bundle of hair, invoking a name and blowing upon them, while the more complex can take up to a day in incantation alone. One of her best rituals involves absorbing all the prana in the environment and amplify it for further use, depending on what else she drew upon the circle. More often than not, she would usually use that to power something else, though that was rare, considering her relatively peaceful life. Due to their focus in this, her family had streamlined many of these rituals to be far less time consuming, allowing he to enact even more elaborate rituals using just a few people or even with just herself.

General Magecraft: The basic of the basics.

High speed aria: Allows for faster casting, especially in her family's craft.

Item Creation: Due to their focus, it was hard not to dip into this area considering the myriads of rituals that involves making or enchanting an item.

Curses: Many rituals also involved these sorts of things, like hammering a straw doll tied with the hair of the target of the curse with a large nail. Thus, she has knowledge of this as well.

Crest: Near a thousand years old, it was mostly a collection of rituals, transcribed from foreign grimoires, lists of improvements and a few practical spells like Gandr. Thus, it acts mostly as a library of information for her when activated. A catalogue of spells and rituals her family had collected over generations essentially. Has a portion of its library sealed off. It was no trouble for her to unseal it, but there was several of her ancestors who went mad after unsealing it, before sealing it back with a warning to never open it. It became a sort of a family tradition that the crest would be inherited with words of warning about that sealed section. Trying to access while it was still sealed only gave her a warning and the words "That is not dead which can eternal lie."

Weapon: An Azoth sword, fashioned to look like a 14th century style cruciform sword, with the gem in the hilt. It becomes a sword only when it is activated, otherwise, it will be a gemmed hilt with no blade. A jade bracelet, designed to generate lines out of whatever she fed it, whether it be into specific shapes or just plain lines, or even just be lines she can control and manipulate.

Exceptional Benefit:
Support Magi- 10 average magi follows her, subordinates that served her family. Some are here to exchange their services for learning some of their long list of rituals.

The Ballad of the Heroine B- This skill combines the art of Military tactics and Eye of the Mind(True). She is capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament.

Chinese Martial Arts B- is a Chinese rationality. A value that measures one's mastery of the martial arts that made becoming one with the universe as its objective. Its learning difficulty is of the highest level and, unlike other Skills, it is at (A) Rank that one is at a level where one is said to have finally "learned it"

For Hua Mulan however, it's different. Being active during the time of the Tang dynasty, Mulan has accumulated a set of martial arts and wielding proficiently any weapon in that era (before and after enlisted in the army). A technique which she uses to enhance her stance and the way she fights, making her strikes more precise and deadly to any foes. Still, the rank of her skill is extremely insignificant than the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts like performing any incredible feats that only requires 'one strike' from a legendary martial artist, She has a long way to go to master this technique but never really do so. A jack of many trades and a master of none but a lethal striker nevertheless.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: Honor of Pedigree
Title: The blessed armor of the war veteran's rebellious daughter
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Appearance:
Description: A noble phantasm that conceals Mulan's identity. She must wear it at all times in order to keep her identity and lineage a secret. Manifesting from the fact that it was never once removed in public until her final moments serving the army, it hides certain sections of her parameters, even from her own Master, making it hard to discern even her gender when coupled with her full body armor. Her basic parameters and Class Skills can be seen, but status information pertaining to her personality and True Name as a Heroic Spirit, innate Skills, and data on her Noble Phantasms are hidden and cannot be read. Masking anything related to her True Name.

Aside from hiding her gender and identity, This armor has seen has seen many battles from its previous owners of war, a high grade of metal that can't easily be damaged. Legend has it, this armor is forged from the hardship of battle and fate-altering luck when a worthy warrior wears it into battle and when its true name is invoked, its true power will awaken.

Name: Roar of the Dragon Lady

Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Army

When its true name is invoked, She manifests a spirit of pseudo-Chinese dragon of grand proportions that eclipse the heavens itself and will become the war general's mount as she rides it in combat. A manifesto of her unyielding fury that runs wild on those who she considers as foes and brings destruction in its wake, a divine beast worthy to turn the tide of battle. "It breathes life to those who stand beside it and death to those who oppose it, scorching the earth in a vortex of flames" as she would describe it.

However if Mulan has given up the will to fight, the dragon will become weaker and suffer as well. This beast is based on Mulan's resolve and willpower, how much she is willing to go beyond her limits. A noble phantasm worthy to be classified as an anti-army.

This is considered as the dynasties' trump card, wielded by the bravest of them all. "you'll never find a woman like that!"

Berserker Lancelot

Name: Lancelot
Title(s): Beast of Arthur's Court
Class: Berserker
Gender: Male
Birth and Death Dates: Arthurian Era
Alignment: Lawful Mad

---

Catalyst: A scrap of fabric from his cape.

Personality: At one point Lancelot was brave, kind, and extremely virtuous, embodying the very concept of a knight. However, now he is a madman, but a silent one. At almost all times, Lancelot is silent as the grave, even when in the heat of intense battle. He only lets out his voice when heralding an extremely powerful strike.

Appearance: Lancelot is an attractive male of strong stature and body. He has deep purple hair which is cut short and a gaze that could cut boulders, even with his mind addled with madness. However, his visage is always kept hidden behind a black helm and matching armor, fashioned with the hard lines and pointed details of a wolf.

Bio: As a young child, barely more than an infant, Lancelot's parents died, leaving him only with his father's longsword. He lived in homelessness, and gained both strength and skill by fighting for his life against various unsavory characters. By the time he was a teenager, he had already developed into a warrior of enough skill to be summoned as a Servant. It was at this time that he heard of King Arthur, peerless knight and monarch of Britain. He traveled to that place in order to meet this King, and when Lancelot arrived he saw them. Glorious, beautiful, with strength not just of body, but of conviction. He instantly knew he must serve this King, and charged onto the battlefield to lend his aid. The emotion he felt was the first sparks of something deeper than admiration. Unbeknownst to young Lancelot, he had fallen in love with the King.

He displayed great ability and bravery in this battle, and thus, the King granted him audience. He desired one thing only, to serve them as a loyal knight. The King's response was to make Lancelot a Knight of the Round Table. From this point, much of his life was the same as in the true history, including obtaining the sword Arondight. However, one day would change this all.

Arthur came before Lancelot, and asked him if he would bear a great responsibility. As King, Arthur must maintain a certain image. The kingdom needed a warrior who was both a knight and an executioner. Someone who could be sent out to slay the enemies of the crown, without mercy or remorse. Lancelot wholeheartedly accepted, and soon found himself constantly travelling to far away lands, finding those who had committed crimes against the crown, or conspired against Camelot and slaying them. His adventures took him to all sorts of climes and pitted him against all manner of foe. Humans, beasts, even a fire-drake, his armor being burned black under the heat of the dragon's hellish breath, but still it held. Every adventure was more taxing than the last, but greater than the physical hardship was the mental. He slipped further and further away from the image of a perfect knight and closer to that of an attack dog, frothing at the mouth and desperate for blood. However, his devotion to the King is what kept him going.

Truly, his transformation into the Hound was completed the night Queen Guinevere came before him.

While on reprieve from a particularly harrowing mission, Lancelot was approached by his Queen, with whom he'd developed an easy friendship. She listened to his trials and tribulations, shared with him his pain, and congratulated him on every victory. She was a true friend to him, and while he could only truly devote his being to the King, there were few things he was unwilling to do for the Queen.

However, he could not have anticipated what she would tell him. She confessed great secrets, secrets that rocked him to his core. The King was a woman, and she had only married to satisfy the image of a perfect governing body. In addition to this, Guinevere had fallen in love with Lancelot. She suggested that they flee Camelot, and if Artoria sent the Knights of the Round after them, they would threaten to reveal her secret to the whole kingdom. However, Lancelot's dedication was to the King and not Guinevere. He seized her and brought her before the King, demanding she reveal herself to Artoria. However, Artoria saw "Guinevere" for what she truly was; the evil witch Morgan le Fay. The King turned to Lancelot and gave the order to slay the witch.

Lancelot did not hesitate. He slew the witch, and later, when the real Guinevere appeared before him, he believed it was another trick, some sort of sorcery, and he killed her, as well. When he discovered that she had been the true Queen, he was overcome with grief, screaming into the night all of his anguish. However, Artoria had come to love Lancelot as well, and selfishly would not punish him, would not have him executed. She merely told him she understood why he had made the mistake he did. From that day, Lancelot never spoke. He distanced himself from the other Knights. His transformation was complete, and upon severing the last bond he had to knighthood, Arondight shattered, its pieces sinking into the armor and flesh of the once proud knight.

However, the greatest threat to the crown had been destroyed, and Camelot survived far longer than it was ever supposed to. Without le Fay alive to create a certain homunculus, Artoria never died, nor did her Knights of the Round, the light of Excalibur granting all of them immortality. Camelot expanded, no longer the ruling power of Britain, but the ruling power of the world. They were the eternal watchers and rulers of humanity, and Lancelot gained a reputation among them as Arthur's Monster, a boogeyman figure. If you ever saw him, your death was a certainty.

Under their control, however, humanity never again evolved, instead stagnating. Eventually the world degraded and came to consider itself "not viable".

Weapon: His mighty greatsword Arondight.

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

---

Class Skills:

Mad Enhancement (B) - Rank up for all parameters, but takes away most of sanity.

In his strange timeline, Lancelot was more beast than man, fully capable of cutting down anyone who the King deemed "an enemy of the Kingdom." Regardless of how close he may have been to that person, he would destroy them just the same. That unwavering loyalty has remained a part of him, even when all other traits are muted by his madness.

Personal Skills:

Executioner (B) - A skill that increases damage towards those of the Evil alignment. Also, a Servant will become a target if his/her actions are regarded by the user as evil. Severing evil by means of evil; the ultimate judgment act.

Lancelot ceaselessly hunted down all the evils of the world, the executioner of the Immortal Round Table, until the world itself could no longer support such a concept.

Eternal Arms Mastership (A+) - Prevents degradation of fighting skills when under the effect of mental hindrance.

Mastership of combat arts has reached the point of being said to be unrivaled in one's era. By complete merging of mind, body and technique, it is possible to make use of full fighting skills even when under the influence of any sort of mental hindrance.

Logic of the Wild Beast (C) - A combative way of thinking resulting from transforming into a beast. It's not useful for finding weak points, but the speed of thinking focusing on killing the enemy swiftly increases. If combined with the skill Self Evolution, the speed of defeating an opponent increases even further.

Even in a mind clouded with insanity, Lancelot remains extremely adept in slaying foes.

Self-Evolution (B+) - Allows the user to temporarily apply a + modifier to any stat except luck.

A hero, a knight, and an executioner, Lancelot must always be evolving, growing, rising to any challenge laid before him.

Maximum Number of Targets: --
Description: Lancelot was supposed to be the perfect knight, but his mission sent him down another path. He was forced to break the codes and tenants of chivalry so many times, that eventually, his long-time companion Arondight, shattered into pieces. Those pieces fused with his armor, even his flesh, and became this Noble Phantasm.

Lancelot can pull any number of swords from his body and wield them in combat. These swords are all Noble Phantasms, pieces of Arondight itself, and thus can stand up against other weapon-type Noble Phantasms in combat without breaking. When under attack, swords erupt from the armor, jutting out in all directions to deter attackers. Every sword is a shard of Arondight, and retain it's dragon-slaying properties. Servants with the dragon sub-type take extra damage from Lancelot's attacks.

Title: Reforged Holy Light
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-25
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: Secace was the sword Lancelot wielded against the Saxons in the correct history. Here, however, it is the physical representation of the last vestiges of Lancelot's chivalry. When invoked, Secace emits a golden light that shines on his chosen enemy. That enemy is forced into a duel against Lancelot, one where neither party may flee or accept outside aid. In truth, the golden light reveals the sword's true identity as the reforged Caliburn.

Caster of Swan lake

Name: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Title(s): Prodigy of Russia, Master of Ballets

Class: Caster

Gender: Male

Birth and Death Dates: 7th of May 1840 - 6th November 1893

Alignment: True Neutral

Catalyst: Original Manuscript of 1812 Overture

Personality: Summoned as he is, Tchaikovsky is not the most pleased with his appearance but he believes he deserves it for how he treated his life. Although in life he was plagued by his own demons, now he appears optimistic and whilst still slightly cold, obsessed with his music like never before. Prone to humming symphonies and doing little dances, the Caster finds himself enthralled by the chances that life cna throw at them.

When conducting, he finds himself becoming much more flamboyant and cheerful, music being his lifes work and joy it sends him simply into a world of ecstasy. When it comes to meeting new people, he finds himself just as he used to, cheerful and excited to encounter those that can teach him, yet after too much contact will feel the need to keep to himself more. Not being quick to trust is something he considers an asset, but those that can win his trust will have the knowledge that he would kill or die for them if they are a trusted and beloved friend.

For the war, his wish is to have a chance to create a perfect symphony to bless upon the world and redefine his legacy.

Bio: Born in a small village in Russia, no one would know Tchaikovsky was destined for greatness. Destiny was something he didn't believe in and when growing up it was obvious he wasn't built for the working and military service that his father prided himself with. Taught by a French governess how to speak Dutch and French through most of the family's money in hopes that he might have some aspirations, the governess discovered his talent for compositions and even at such a young age his prodigal nature was discovered to be something of great importance.

Forced to go down the road of becoming a civil servant, the piano player and budding composer found no joy in his talents being held back so brutally. Forced to go down the route of music teaching even though he himself knew he was worth so much more, he found himself meeting a group called the Five. All of which were extremely talented musicians and composers, who saw that Pyotr had so much more than what was required of a budding academic. During this time with this group that encouraged and fuelled his desire to make music, he created his first pieces of music that would shake the world of music to it's core and breathe life back into Russia, something they had been sorely lacking for centuries.

From there, it kicked off. Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky became widely known, himself finding the fame and renown to not be a great thing but enjoyed it nonetheless. He began acquainting himself with his orchestras, saying that they were more than just people and that each player would be essential, forming more and more ballets and symphonies. He was awarded with the title of Doctor of Music and was even voted into the Academie Des Duex Artes in France, the first Russian to ever be considered for membership.

After his fame and music continued to grow and grow, more pieces being produced and Pyotr scared that he was losing what was most important for music. He was losing his heart in some pieces. His last piece, his sixth symphony, was premiered on the 28th of October, a piece many said was full of his heart and he himself called it a grand symphony. He conducted it every day following until he died. Many said it was cholera, but only a few could even suspect what could be the truth. It was true he was unhappy with life. He felt like a man trapped inside a child's body, his true art trapped inside him but forced to smile and be a happy little boy in the eyes of the worldwide public.

He was given another chance, to live again. He took it. This war, would give him a chance to redefine himself. Create a piece more outstanding and stupendous than anyone would ever know and make his legacy his own. Although, his feelings of being too young to be summoned compared to the ancient heroes have brought him in a younger form but with a voice that correctly represents him.

Noble Phantasm:

Name: 1812 Overture

Title: Boridino's Clash, Orchestral Reinforcements of the Russian Cathedral

Rank: A

NP Type: Army

Range: 1 - 50

Maximum Number of Targets: 101

Description: Known around the world as the man who brought Russian music to prominence, who perfected his art in a most stupendous way and conquered all challenges of music that laid ebfore him. Although personally distraught and beset with doubt and fear, Illych brought life to the music scene of 19th Century Russia, his Overtures and Suites like nothing anyone had seen before.

His greates work, was the 1812 Overture. Famous for it's outstanding orchestra and use of cannons, it blew most of the world away with it's first performance and Tchaikovsky himself was invited to conduct it at Carnegie Hall. He himself feared it's failure yet it was his most famous piece.

The Noble Phantasm summons an orchestra that can travel alongside Caster with the use of it's true name. 40 strings, 20 brass, 20 woodwind and 21 cannons. Strings and woodwinds when playing around enemies incurs incurs a debuff, brass shoot condensed air, cannons are well self explanatory. Caster uses them often to accelerate item creation and territory creation and it also spreads musical inspiration further. When the strings are playing all enemies suffer debuff to their agility, which gets worse the more the strings play for. The Orchestra also helps Caster replenish mana if he has activated them in his territory or his second Noble Phantasm. This also allows Illych to have control of music and air in the way of magic, able to float and levitate himself as well as send small air blasts, all relating to his control of music and himself. If he loses his cool or can no longer hear the music in life, this connection is lost.

Waltz became one of his treasures, the song resounding throughout the world soothing and calming those that heard it.

Upon true name being activated summons a bounded field around Caster, even without him or his orchestra supplying music it activates. The bounded field contains the symphony of Waltz of the Flowers, petals cascading around the field anyone within it allied with Caster will be replenished and temporarily gain a large defence buff whilst inside the field, it will wear off quickly after the field has fallen, Caster himself gets no buffs besides minor healing.

Okay, so it was brought to my attention that some people have trouble understanding what a Lostbelt scenario is. For a Lostbelt, you're essentially twisting a character almost till you can't recognize them as who they were before. Read my hider below, for more info.

LOSTBELTS

A lostbelt scenario is "The world has come to ruin" Scenario. It is where something has happened on such a catastrophic level that things are no longer following the rules. Swords a hero might have wielded no longer exist. It's extreme history alteration that ends in the devestation of the world where no new legends are being made.

Examples:
Ozymandias is a Rider Class servant who has the protection of the Sun God, Ra. He is a great leader, who knew Moses. He summons mini Sphinxes to fight for him, and he rides a badass vehicle.
Lostbelt Ozymandias is far different. Instead of Ra, it was Set, the god of chaos _{and foreigners} who became Ozy's chief diety. Under the eyes of Set, Ozymandias changed. His body slowly being taken over by the divine being. His divinity raises to A, instead of B. His class is changed to Archer, and he no longer is associated with the light of the sun. In his world, without Ra, Apep devoured the sun. Leading to a barren world, ruled by the eternal pharaoh Ozymandias, the puppet of Set. His soul long replaced by the chaos god. Egypt has become less a great kingdom, and now the kingdom of slums. As an Archer he would spread chaos through his bow and arrows, applying a mental corruption to any he hits. No longer does he gain the protection of Ra, but the protection of Set. In fact, he may as well just be called Set at this point.

Or, Lostbelt Gilgamesh. He became the immortal king, and his treasures were never spread across the world. Instead, Gilgamesh horded them, and no new legends were formed. Instead, the world degraded under the gaze of the world's only hero. The world degraded, and the king Gilgamesh became the villain. His gates of Babylon holding all of humanities souls, rather than their treasures.

So to finish this off, be creative with Lostbelts. Like if this happened, or something was avoided, what changed about them and their world that would lead it to stagnation and inevitable decay. A stop to legends.

Driven out of Rome, sentenced to death, with none of her citizens coming to her defense. Such is the tragedy of Emperor Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian line of Emperors.

[Reflection]

Good news, the Freemasons are here.

Freemason

Name: Arthur Thompson
Title(s): Agent of Freedom
Gender: Male
Age: 45
Alignment: True Neutral
Rank: Fellowcraft - Knight Templar
Objective for the Grail: Arthur's goal is to establish domination over the Root. For himself and the Freemasons to have a connection to the root that allows them to dominate the magical fields.

Command Seal: Command Seal

Personality: Arthur is a full-time believer in the idealogies that have been preached to him. A full-time killer for those beliefs as well. He is not an evil person, but that is only because he believes so firmly that he not. As a result, he is a neutral force by sheer force of belief, who overcomes all adversity with the firm beliefs he holds, and cunning that was drilled into him by those beliefs.
Among people he is a tad... Uncomfortable. He often finds it difficult to sit in one place for too long. Often preferring to keep his hands busy, either with some kind of writing, or focus on other stuff. It's a nervous habit, since his nerves are almost always aware. This can backfire on him, as he can be too anxious to notice other dangers.

Bio: America, 1985, Arthur Thompson is born. It's a small home in the state of Arkansas. The Thompson's are Americans, at least they have been since the early 1920's. Famine in Ireland of all things. It was strange then that they managed to get into a masonry. After all, the freemasons were even then a strange group. And Arthur was raised in that society. That strange society. With his magic, and their interest in him.
He wasn't exactly all that high priority. In fact, they saw him as an asset. Not really a true American, despite never having left the country, and was born there to boot. Thus, when his parents passed away, car accident, he was trained to be their agent. Guns in particular became his favorite tool. Since mages still struggle when dealing with any kind of metal suddenly lodging itself into their fleshy bodies.
He acted as a hitman of sorts. Or better, an executioner. Ask no questions. Make no promises. Just find the target. Kill them, move on. Just accept that it makes the organization better. That it spreads the goals. No matter what they are.
In that result... Arthur has no idea what his desire is. Why the grail chose him. Or what he even wants. He's pretty much a gun with a name. A killing machine that is merely that. If he could make a wish... Maybe he'd wish to know what he wants out of life.

Magecraft:

Familiar Craft

America is populated by familiars. When mages traveled to America from overseas, they brought with them the familiars and mystical creatures and customs of those lands. America, despite being heavily industrialized, maintains great sweeping landscapes that still teem with spirits. Ghost towns, imps, pixies, spirits. The creatures live in the woods, or in our houses. All it takes is a clever mind to unroot them all.

Familiar Binding
The act of an American familiar is the kind of familiar that does household chores. Small creatures to nail shoes, do ones laundry, and even do spying. These familiars are of a low quality, and usually weaker spirits of small animals bound to the will of the creator. They are best utilized in binding them to objects, that act independently of the mage, while preforming a single task.
Larger, more complex familiars can be created for more complex tasks. Often used for more complex housekeeping, or patrolling the area around the mage's household. These use larger animal spirits, or in more morbid cases, human spirits.
As a familiar mage, Arthur can be considered a once in a life-time genius in the art. Probably a result of living with them for so long. He can bind familiars of others mages to his will, usurping the control of lesser masters. Though this is usually a waste of resources and far more time consuming than merely making a regular familiar.
His familiar specialty is birds, but he can create familiars in the forms of other animals.

Talismans
While less advanced than his skills in familiar-craft, Arthur utilizes a simple system based off American folk-magic. Bound fields can be cheaply established, and then reinforced later, by setting up pre-arranged stakes. This pre-arranged style of magic delves into a great deal of magical fields. From healing, to cleansing, and protection. Arthur utilizes a series of protective talismans under his clothing as a defense against most traditional magic branches. Providing easy, cost effective ways to spread such defense to others if needed.

Crest: 700 years, Celtic origins. Eventually deteriorated upon moving to America, and reconstructed over time.

Weapon:

Weapons

Heckler & Koch MP7
The MP7 is a fairly traditional weapon that can be held in one hand. Modified with a standard grip, and belt fed clip that is connected to a box on Arthur's hip. The goal of the MP7 is strictly suppressive fire, as it can catch more typical mages off guard. Since fireballs don't stop bullets.

Smith & Wesson Model 29
This is the go to gun for killing. Mostly because it packs power, accuracy, and can be loaded with a flick of the wrist and a secondary cartridge on stand-by. With hours of practice, Arthur has worked his reload time down to 1.5 seconds.

Spiritual Ammo
A fairly simple trick. By binding spirits to bullets, they can guide the bullet mid-flight. While this cannot completely undo a bad shot, it can curve a shot, and redirect bullets to specific targets. Each bullet for the Model 29 is treated this way. While individual clips for the MP7. Mostly because MP7s use a lot of ammo, and binding spirits to every single bullet is both time consuming, and overly frustrating.

Various Explosives
Utilizing evil spirits, or other kinds, various cursed explosive weapons can be created. Grenades, C4, and even smoke grenades utilize this principle.

Digital Devices
When a man can’t rely on guns, they rely on cameras. Recording devices. Things of a digital nature that would be ignored in a grail war. Some would call it a cheat. He calls it practical.

A Weapon To Surpass

Name: Chen Dai

Title(s): Prodigal Snake, Face in the Smoke, He Who Dwells in the Mind

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Rank: Fes

Objective for the Grail: For The Grail War To Return To It's Original State

Command Seal:

Command Seal

Personality: Many back in China consider Chen to be reckless and one who disregards tradition, yet those closest to him knows that he respects his family's tradition closely of death over suffering. A charismatic individual who's renowned at the Order of Panhu for being a trickster and one who indulges in more modern activities as well as keeping his familial tradition of Illusionary taoist magecraft alive. He's a smug man who takes joy in making people work for his attention or validation as well as someone who knows who's in charge, being able to follow orders with an obedient nature built deep down into him.

Always one with crafty and ambitious tendencies, plan forming is also something the young mage is, an expert in strategy and deception thanks to his family's training and always one to make his presence when he's not on the job, a smarmy silver tongued youth is something he fames himself for being even though it has made many enemies in the Order.

Bio: The Dai family was one of the oldest families of the Taoist families, although it's unclear when the family began experimenting with magecraft it is known that 800 years ago was when their magecraft came into it's own. Specialists in illusion and trickery, the Dai taoists began to be sought far and wide by those who needed their help and as the family grew they began to drift and a small gathering remained of those who stayed true to China unlike those that drifted to Japan and Vietnam.

Over time the family became financially desperate and were enlisted by a much larger family to become part of them whilst remaining as the Dai's, the Dai's took this both as a slight and a blessing, owing their land and prosperity to the family as they continued to mature their craft. Over the years, the Dai's still remained loyal to the Order of Panhu, a mystical group of Taoists who followed the myth of Panhu the obedient dog and considered themselves the Panhu to China. Unbeknownst to the family that the Dai's owed themselves too, the family regularly attended Order meetings and also remained loyal to them on a much more anonymous standard.

Chen was born the first male Dai of the 21st Century and thus was gifted with magical circuits that the Dai's were amazed by due to their old habits and from a young age he was trained and tutored to master illusionary magic as well as survival instincts that would prove beneficial to the Order of Panhu. At the young age of 12, young Chen was brought to the now dwindlign Elders to show a glimmer of hope for the Order and they saw within him a magus ready to blossom. Trained by all manner of masters, Chen began to perfect his own methods of illusion and was even successful in crafting his own Mystic Code which the Council heavily applauded him for even though it took a lot out of him.

The Order saw his brilliance and realised the deception and assault capabilities of his skill set and began to put him to work. During their drought of success, they found targets of interest that threatened the taoist norms of Asia and those that directly antagonised the Order would have Chen Dai on their tracks and would dispatch them with haste. Although it scarred him when he was young, hebecame more and more used to it and found through effort a way to make it at least a little light hearted. He however became rather bored of being nothing but a blood hound and hunter for the Order and this irritation was obvious to the Elders who has basically controlled all of his actions from brith. The Order was something Chen was beginning to see the negative side of.

In order to keep him at bay, the Order instructed Chen to travel to America to participate in the Grail War in order to relocated the Grail to China, so that the grail war which attracts magic and mystic codes of all sorts could be taken advantage of by Panhu. he agreed, seeing something more than their objective.

Elemental Affinity: Ether and Wind

Magecraft: Familliar with the basics of magecraft, Chen is adept at using most normal aspects including bounded fields, natural defences, enchanting weapons and items and of course he is someone to often use reinforcement on himself to become a keen fighter at hand to hand. Due to this, he is a master at using magecraft in a fight to benefit himself including the use of air manipulation which he is moderately good at but in the end isn't his area of expertise.

His area of expertise lies in his unparalleled skill at using Taoist techniques to conjure up illusions and smoke screens and other related acts. He is able to conjure up almost perfect physical illusions that can seem almost life like, even having the capability to create and manipulate an illusion of a person as long as he puts his full focus into this particular act. Alongside this he also possesses the uncanny ability to use invisibility, his studying of Illusionary leading him to use this on himself as long as he doesn't do too many acts while invisible and then the shroud of the illusion will fall around him. Invisibility being a shroud he uses with illusions instead of actually becoming invisible to the naked eye. With weak willed people and some low tier magus, Chen has mastered the act of mental trickery and exploration, able to control and see through the eyes of people he has put under his control and those that he has marked he can delve into their minds at their most vulnerable which might just be when they have laid to rest.

Crest: 800 years

Weapon:

The Cards of Chen: The masterpiece that he kept him in bed for a month, a plain set of playing cards that Chen had since he was but a youngster and out playing with his friends he'd often play snap. Growing up in the Order he used to often drop into illegal matches and using his sleight of hand and trickery skills, would often use the cards to ensure victory. So when his father told him that in order to secure prosperity within the Order that Chen would have to blow them away with a machination of magic like none other, he found his old deck that was close to his heart and began working on enchanting them, playing cards something precious to many Chinese historians and traditionalists.

After completing them by infusing part of his own essence into it, it left Chen in bed for a month before he was back on his feet and ready for action again. The Chaotic nature of the cards represents this, every card is linked to that of it's own suit or own type and when in use, Chen can transmit his image through the cards so that he can be in the position not physically but like that of a magical hologram where he can observe and spy on where he has placed them. He cannot fully interact with any elements when transmitting himself through his cards but the cards seem to have no magical properties until he activates it to transmit his image through it. Although this is a very helpful and effective Code, Chen has trouble interacting with where he really is whilst it is activated, giving him a sort of split screen vision whilst activating his cards. However, due to the chaotic nature of his creation of them, they have only 80% chance of working first go.

Fangs of Panhu: Famed for his obedient and bloodthirsty nature under the king Di Ku, Panhu was the entity that the Order followed and believed they represented as the undercover society in China. To show their following of him, 12 knives were passed through the Order over the years, given to their most trusted and professional assassins, after at least 6 kills under the ownership of an assassin, the user would feel a magical connection to their knives.

Having had his knives for 7 years, Chen has formed a bond with the Mystic Code so that not only is it a particularly lethal knife with properties useful for rituals and circles it also has the ability to telekinetic ally attach itself to Chen, so that his dual wielding Fangs of Panhu can be controlled by him through his mind, causing them to float and return to him upon command, however he is unable to know where they are unless they are in his line of sight, otherwise he will be controlling them blind.

Amulet of Panhu: Although not strictly based upon the dog itself, the Dai family have passed along the amulet that represents the protection of Panhu down throughout the family for centuries. Powered more by the family's survival instincts the amulet when worn by a Dai family member can grant increased magical protection but once it's protection has been broken once it can take quite some time to be repaired again. It also begins to glow when extremely dangerous magic is incoming.

Exceptional Benefit: Supply Line - Thanks to the Order's minimal sway and control, they have ensured a line of supply is secured for Chen and that whatever weapons and materials he is required can be transported to him.
