APPEARANCE

"The secret is that a great smile can wrap up anything you forget to hide away"

On most mornings you can find Alex already in his morning routine before even the crack of dawn, it doesn't matter if he only went to sleep a few hours ago, he'll keep on continuing. That doesn't mean that every day is sunshine and lollipops for him, some days are definitely better than others like anyone else but this is why this is called a routine with his establish set of good habits.

His secret to taming his messy bed head? It's located in the shower with some water and a bit of soft handling, it can do wonders for anyone, isn't that amazing? Of course, that's the easy part before he has to the mop up his wet locks of dark brown hair with the blow dryer while simultaneously combing to shape it into shape. It not hard after a few years of ingraining it as his muscle memory since all the best things come after working for them, plus the countless amount of dollars spent but he doesn't talk about that. In the end though, he makes it look effortless when his wavy hair has been styled to the side yet still with volume that has strong sense of care for the way it has been handled.

Imagine all of that was just for his hair, now think about the rest of him. Just kidding. Or am I?

Continuing on for Alex, his closet of clothes has a little bit of everything that he can fit into any occasion which may come up so he could be called someone with a pretty solid foundation clothing wise. He generally doesn't fall into any category or style for the clothes he wears but overall would be considered as someone who was well dressed for the situation. It is a skill that is much harder than it sounds as having a solid understanding on what kind of event he is going to and fitting himself to match while still being tasteful is not something one just picks up without much experience and deliberation..

PSYCHOLOGY

"It's okay if you spill or crack, just not in front of others. Especially so if your going to break."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Just like anyone, Alex doesn't think of himself as someone too special and just wants to make it out of life being as happy and content he can possibly be. Even then, it seems at times that he is just shooting himself in the foot, longing for something that is most assuredly beyond his reach.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ It is always polite to talk and be on good terms be with anyone you meet but that doesn't meet that you have to consider them your friends. The ones who you call friends are people you are willing to throw yourself into the fray to ensure that they become the best they can be. No matter the hardship or difficulties you will face, when your backed into that corner alongside with them, that is when you know that a true bond is there.

SECRETS ⫻ From the outside, Alex looks like he's walking confidently on his two feet without any trouble, getting through each day without any care for the world. In truth, it is much different than the painted picture he puts outside for show as the machinery inside him tells a different story. It might not be today, the next week or even the next year but one day it'll happen and he wouldn't be surprised that it did.

SEXUALITY ⫻ A Bisexual with a troubled history, closeted with the key lost and hopefully never found.

FEARS ⫻ One of Alex's greatest fear is when the people that he calls as his friends will eventually slip through his fingers, whether it be from a dramatic separation or the eventual erosion of time, he despises that lost of a strong connection. The only other fear that he doesn't like addressing is a personal issue of the trouble brewing within his head as he knows that something is 'off' inside of there but nothing dramatic has happened with him that needs it brought to attention. For all he knows, he still a functioning and productive member of society.

REPUTATION ⫻ Once a local who spent their childhood in the backwaters of Araminta, the peace and quite was too much for a younger Alex who left to see what was outside of their small town. Getting his education and experiencing a taste of life from the diverse world they live in, he's bringing a small piece of the outside back to his hometown. While for a time there will be happy welcomes and warm hugs for a familiar face, that is only there until he establishes himself and the town realize why he's back in town for. A psychologist who will be digging into this town's traditional values.

QUIRKS ⫻ With a lot of bottled up energy within him, Alex likes to talk aloud to himself at times just to sort his thoughts out, finding it completely normal to do so. Other than a few practiced routines like he has to keep his mind and heart in check, there is not many other noticeable habits that makes him stand out.

FLAWS ⫻ The thing for Alexander is that he is a very impulsive and emotional creature, shackled by society to be cautious and careful with anything he thinks of or any action that he does. When uninhibited or released from those bindings, he is a much different individual that uncorks his usually reserved demeanor and spills out his true thoughts. During this time he may do things he may later regret but where these impulses came from are truly things that he did want in the end.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"Quote about skills."

Compartmentalization ⫻ To tuck one's problems away for another day isn't a bad thing to do. Eventually, it turns into a art form of juggling and trying not to drop your baggage every where you go.

Dancin' & Singin' ⫻ A profession that involved not only a lot of dedication but considerable effort on his part as well to pursue as 12 years isn't something to scoff at. The very bare minimum of what he would get out of this would be that he is someone you could confidently say that he is a educated person. In depth of what he does though is focused more on how the brain processes, learns, stores, recognizes, and utilizes information.

Photography ⫻ A profession that involved not only a lot of dedication but considerable effort on his part as well to pursue as 12 years isn't something to scoff at. The very bare minimum of what he would get out of this would be that he is someone you could confidently say that he is a educated person.

Around 15 years of his life has been dedicated for school and at this point one could say that he has really been educated

Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A tall individual would stands over most people around the height of at least six feet minimum, it guaranteed he would be one if not the tallest in the room. To see the details of this person face is impossible with the only except being the blue eyes that glow through the visor of their helmet, the rest of their body in in a similar situation where the armor that they don is made for the practicality of the battle field. Through those armored pieces that make this suit of armor, it also gently glows with energy that seem to hum of power contained within. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ For some people, the Lord of the Distant Isles is not just a title placed on Lancer but a apt description of who he is as an individual as well. He holds the visage of someone who carries the word of 'Strong' and 'Silent' on their shoulders that anyone would recognize upon looking at him. That weight that he seems to carry doesn't simply come from just his appearance but with a certain pull that is palpable to those within his presence, a sense of intensity and brilliance that could be felt even through that armor. Despite that, there is a distance that he places between himself and others in a reserved and taciturn nature that undoubtedly leaves a chilly atmosphere that wards most individuals away with perceived coarseness. When that individual inside the suit finally does speak to prove its existence, it speaks with a tiredness and wariness that lingers on his words as a fatigued and jaded individual comes out. For the rarity of his spoken words, it is perhaps better to have just a silent companion as he is blunt and sharp with his words, cutting to the heart of any issue that he finds. He'll make it known about his opinions if anything seems dubious or if something needs his attention, that he will immediately convey.

_{Character Synopsis
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

The tale of Galehaut, if legends told to be true, was about a man of great prowess and skill that was destined to beat the promised King of Knights. As a figure unknown to the court of the Round Table, he was renown for his honor as a knight and as a powerful figure with land he has taken. He rose up from the unknown ranks into a figure who could challenge the legacy that the Round Table sought to achieve, earning him the moniker as the Knight of Obscurity. It was rumored that he was born from the lineage of phantasmal beasts known as the Giants that were thought to have slowly been slowly dying out, trapped in the land of mankind due to this physical bodies being unable to reach the Reverse Side of the World. By the period of King Arthur, as mystery was disappearing around the world, true giants were thought to be extinct or at the very least, a legend if one was to encounter one.

However, outside of his destined legend to defeat the King of Knights, not much is known about Galehaut when looking through the works of the Arthurian Cycle. His only reprieve from this enigma is mostly through his interactions with Lancelot and a few mentions that are sparsely scattered throughout the legends.

The only part of his story that has some renown or merit are the different accounts of how he died in his life. Some say that after he heard Lancelot was killed he was distraught and depressed and shut himself away and died of grief, others say he died fighting in the battle of Camlann, others in the peaceful sleep. No one knows´s other than Galehuat, and when asked of his death, he only will give a cold blue eyes look before staying silent never speaking a word.

For the reason that he is in this war is once again for a selfish wish that he intended to make for himself.

_{Class Skills
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

_{// Magic Resistance:}

A Rank | Lancer possesses a high rank in this skill despite living in a transition of Ages, with his environment being rich in magic and mystery. It comes from the fact that he was raised from his particular parentage and possessing the blood of a Phantasmal Beast, being capable of canceling spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. Along with the fact that even an army that was backed up by the wizard Merlin was defeated by Lancer, this rank is respectable for such a feat.

In practice, he is a Servant who is untouchable by modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a 'Magus Killer'. Against magecraft that focuses on taking down phantasmal beasts or even giant-kind, his magic resistance may not function to its fullest until tested due to the rarity of encountering such individuals.

_{Personal Skills
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

_{// Charisma:}

B Rank | Though unknown to Arthur and his court, Galehaut has already conquered lands and acquired considerable power, loyal followers, and a reputation for being a noble character. Being a composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. Lancer having a B Rank in this Skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its potential king, with the morale of military forces he or she commands is extremely high.

_{// Blood of The Giants:}

A Rank | The skill which represents the lineage that flows through his blood, granting Lancer the gifts of Giant-kind, a species of Phantasmal Beasts in the decline towards extinction after the Age of Gods. As one coming from the lineage of a full-blooded giant as his mother, he is effectively a demi-giant in nature and displays a variety of their physical traits. He gains their physical strength and hardiness as a form of [Monstrous Strength] that represents the abilities intrinsic to one as a member of Giant-kind.

While Lancer will be weak to those who are monster-slayers or armaments which slays monsters, the innate abilities of his kind makes him stronger than his parameters would otherwise indicate. Allowing him to temporarily increase both his [Strength] and [Endurance] parameters by one rank up for the duration that he is supporting this skill. In terms of his strength when he utilizes the qualities of his blood, it allows for Lancer to go beyond the normal limitations of what a average Servant could achieve he has something superior than A Rank but not close enough to be considered A+ Rank Strength.

_{// Eye of the Mind (True):}

A Rank | Described as a person who emerged from the foreground to challenge King Arthur for his entire realm, having already 'conquered' lands on his journey as he acquired their immense power, their loyalty, and a noble reputation comparable to the King. In truth though, he did not consider himself to be anyone's liege or leader but felt responsibility for his zealous followers and self-proclaimed vassals when they issued their challenge to King Arthur. Having attracted the attention and provoking the ire of the King and his Knights of the Round Table, he sought to see that no one would spill any unnecessary blood over such a misunderstanding. As such his careful machinations on the battle field weren't just noteworthy as a individual but as a commander of armies, it was a feat of legends as he slowly cornered the Knights of the Round Table. It was there that he ceased the opportunity of finding a peaceful solution to diffuse the situation as he settle the war with as few lives lost as he could manage. To even ensure that peace would be brought, he even surrendered himself to the King of Knights and through Lancelot's recommendation, became one of the very members that he fought against to make sure that even that fates couldn't spurn peace.

As such, his prestigious skills at not only being a Knight-errant, but as a leader who was able to take on King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table provides merit for the level of skill. In terms as a individual, the amount of battle experience he had seemed to be an endless abyss when the Knights of the Round Table faced off against him. He is on a level some-what comparable to Lancelot and Gawain who can be his equals if not his superiors, as they are individuals blessed by the world that he cannot compare to, even with his monstrous blood. Against Lancelot and Gawain, he can only fight defensively against those two knight's overwhelming capabilities until he can seize mistake or opening that presents itself. Even then he is severely lacking a finishing or final move compared to Lancelot's Arondight which is dangerous all the time or Excalibur Galatine which is overkill in most applications. It is only through his death that he received something comparable through the aggregation of his life being crystallized into his Noble Phantasms.

Against these individuals who were blessed by the world with their own gifts, Lancer's ability to face each one of them and survive such a period where these Heroic Spirits existed is impressive. As such, Lancer's ability of calm analysis is among the best as he is capable of observing the abilities of his opponents as well as those on the battlefield even if in threat of immediate danger. This allows for him to develop an appropriate plan of action to enact long after he has considered all the possibilities of escape from his predicament should he need it.

_{// Determination of Steel:}

B- Rank | A composite Skill, combining the effects of the Bravery and Calm and Collected Skills at the same level, which allows Lancer to ignore pain that is inflicted onto him. With the mentality of avoiding confusion in all situations, he can suppress his own emotion and calmly observes his surroundings, guiding him towards optimum tactics to take during a situation. As the individual who sought to take over Britain from the King of Knights, challenge the entirety of the Round Table, and face the legendary Merlin who backed Camelot. It is simply expected for Lancer to possess a skill that sought to do the impossible and overturn the guaranteed rule of King Arthur. Its negative modifier comes into effect against male servants who possess a charm skill, making it interesting when Lancer is an applicable target to their abilities. Restraint is still possible although the true strength of this skill is significantly diminished under their presence. All it does is proving that Lancelot does indeed have a high ranking of [Protection of the Fairies]...

While rallied under his banner, the effects of [Determination of Steel] may only apply to Lancer himself, through [Charisma] he may convince others to follow his tactics and reassure them of any doubts. He was the one that possessed the diligence in slowly gaining ground against Camelot, observing the tides of battle and bringing his forces to defeat their army. Allowing for such a combination of skill in order to solidify his men's beliefs in victory and success, improving their morale more than what [Charisma] may normally offer.

_{Noble Phantasms
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

_{// The Knight of Obscurity - Uncrowned Lord of the Ever Distant Isles:}

B- Rank | Anti-Unit (Self) | Range: 1 | Target: 1

That is the the tale of Galehaut, the one who who was going to win against the King of Knights, an event that history would have called as an certain victory for Lancer should the battle been waged between the two. In the end, his life and everything else that he had was given away for the sake of Lancelot. It was a selfish sacrifice that ultimately has been forgotten to the passing of time. Scrubbed from the nooks and crannies of history, that was the price he paid for the time he spent with that knight, throwing away the power he had gathered in the past along with the prestigious potential of his future that served as kindling for those precious moments.

This is a Noble Phantasm which represents Lancer's history after he gave up the possibility for prestige and glory. For in that rejection of fame and glory, this Noble Phantasm represents that in the form of the armor he wears, reminiscent of the armaments forged by his giant brethren with techniques and materials now long lost from the hands of humanity. Its durability is worth note taking since it was created by the hands of Phantasmal Beasts, its capable of reducing damage by an D-Rank's worth.

It is a set of platemail that he equips, dark blue in color bordering almost a blackish purple, representing the negation of any titles, feats, and designations which can be attached to his name. It ultimately disguises his presence as a mere human and prevents most means to identify him. By doing so, this Noble Phantasm forcibly restricts Lancer's capabilities through the lack of fame and feats that would normally be attributed to Lancer, reducing all of his skills and physical parameters by two ranks except for [Eye of Mind (True)] and [Determination of Steel]. When this skill is sealed due to the activation of Lancer's second Noble Phantasm, it still retains the defensive properties worthy of armor made from the giants but loses its ability to conceal his identity.

With the nature of this Noble Phantasm, it is always manifested as the suit of armor that conceals Lancer, glowing with a dull energy that seeps through the plates like a heartbeat. Whenever he exerts any notable power, mist seems to pull out of the armor as if the ocean was contained within, being cold to the touch if anyone felt it. The only signs of life is the dull blue eyes which glow with a similar ominous energy which peers out into the world while restrained in that cage.

_{// Ephemeral Knight - My Life Given For You:}

B++ Rank | Anti-Destiny | Range: 1 - 99 | Target: 1000 people

Lancer's second Noble Phantasm is locked behind [ The Knight of Obscurity ] requiring him to completely seal the first one for the remainder of the war in order to pull out the full potential of this Noble Phantasm. A power resting inside the spear that he wields, being immaculate in quality for it is also a creation of the ancient giants. Forged by those ancient beings that no ordinary human could reproduce in skill, an art form of theirs now long lost in the modern day. A spear that was made to contest against the King of Knights and the Knights of the Round Table, matching the capabilities of Excalibur and Arondight in clash between craftsmanship.

The power of an king, destined for conquering an age where heroes and the remainder of phantasmal beasts still held their power, is slumbering within this spear. A sleep brought on by that docile love for a certain knight which placed a seal on Lancer's capabilities in order for him to simply spend with him. By itself, this Noble Phantasm is simply a spear magnificently made, sharper than any kind of sword even if made by the hands of a ordinary master and similarly unable to be broken weaponry inferior to it in quality. The strength of giants imbued within the spear to never waiver or break in a contest of blades, being a testament of the phantasmal beasts who made this spear. Its quality itself serves as a vessel worthy of simply the rank of this Noble Phantasm as its base that can be built upon. A spear that is made out of his feats, ideals, and choices that he made in life which has manifested itself in his class as Lancer.

The first modifier can be applied by simply wielding the Noble Phantasm, which stirs the slumbering power that sleeps within the blade. Allowing for the manipulation of fate, to a degree, that is fixated on Lancer himself as the center, which his destiny surrounds and swirls. Being able to shred through the impossibilities and open a path which it is attainable or forever close the door of a future which is attainable, making it impossible to obtain. That was the power imbued into this spear that Lancer possessed, facing off [Excalibur] as the [Sword of Promised Victory] and essentially winning before he resigned his victory towards him.

Or at least... that is what it would be at its full potential.

While his first Noble Phantasm [The Knight of Obscurity ] has not been sealed, he is only capable of exerting his 'destiny' to manifest itself in small ways. As a Noble Phantasm that begins to overturn fate itself, possessing power to change the destiny of those who are loved by the world, with immutable truths now become something unsure to be observed or predicted. Applying pressure against those who face against Lancer with an high [Luck] parameter which shows their capability to defy fate with their latent ability or abilities which can manipulate fate. Those who possess that potential are easier to be moved by Lancer out of their preordained fate, with those possessing higher [Luck] or [ Fate Manipulation ] skills are easier to be affected. Against Lancer they receive a single negative modifier for each level they go above [C Rank].

The second modifier is unlocked by sealing completely Lancer's first Noble Phantasm for the remainder of the Holy Grail War. Removing the anonymity that he possessed, the Throne of Heroes recognizes the feats and exploits of Lancer which enables him recreate the paramount overturn of destiny just like he did in life. The potential of Lancer's second Noble Phantasm is now fully available to be used, being a wave of change to turn impossibilities into events which can be realized or close the doors to the future, denying the obtainable and creating something impossible to be achieved. However, the usage of this Noble Phantasm is extremely draining for what it tries to overcome.

This active use of his Second Noble Phantasm can only be used in reaction to something that has already been enacted or currently in effect, employing the concept of 'Denial of Destiny' in response. Shedding a pale blue light that will counter the applicable target, taking the form it needs while consuming the energy from Lancer to overturn the effect. In what is essentially brute forcing his way through using magical energy to match the output just enough to just cancel out the target. With the Noble Phantasm matching itself toward the current threat that it is facing, it is possible that Lancer may completely extinguish his magical energy reserves before actually nullifying the effect due to how mana intensive this can get.

Skills under Noble Phantasm's Effect

_{Class Skills
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

_{// Magic Resistance (Restricted):}

C Rank | When donning his Noble Phantasm [The Knight of Obscurity], even Lancer's class skills are affected as it drops down by two ranks to this level at C Rank. It is still at a rank which is effective enough to cancel out spells with a chant below two verses but it can't compete against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals like normal.

_{Personal Skills
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

_{// Charisma (Restricted):}

D- Rank | Perhaps it is justified that when donning his Noble Phantasm, his capabilities for leadership is significantly reduces as it was a symbol he threw away for just one individual. As such, he possesses this skill at the D Rank not for his ability of leadership but instead his personality that is filled with an intensity that could push people away or pull them in if he wanted to. This changes when he attempts to use this skill to command a larger unit, this skill receives a negative-modifier as it becomes near-nonexistent, as only a small fraction of his skill can shine through the shame he has.

_{// Blood of The Giants (Restricted):}

C Rank | Even the nature of his blood seems to be be placated when Lancer's Noble Phantasm [The Knight of Obscurity] when it is activated, seeming to remember the memories imbued within this armor, dropping it down to C Rank. While dropping this skill's rank doesn't betray the fact that Lancer is still an individual who can be called a demi-giant, he seems to be lacking some of the intensity fitting a battle-harden veteran from such an age. As such, using this skill still provides the same benefits for Lancer but to its upkeep and maintenance for using the qualities of his blood is much more costlier. While it is manageable in quick bursts and short duration, it gorges on magical energy that would makes it difficult for him to maintain continuously for a long fight as his blood is unaccustomed to fighting during what was a time of peace for Lancer.

Basics

Name:

Ashby Daniel Hibler "Ash"

Age:

25

Gender:

Male

Height/Weight:

5'7 in Height, 177 lbs in Weight

(Former) Occupation:

Culinary Chef - Pastery / Station Chef at a Restraunt

Appearance:

As a man standing around the average height of people, Ashby usually has sleek short blonde hair after a shower that he styles it or wears something over his head, taking his time to groom and ready up for the day. It's not unusual for his routine to take several minutes as he usually finishes leaving the bathroom with faint warm notes of vanilla and cinnamon unless he covers up with cologne or deodorant before next getting dressed.

His athletic body makes it's easy to find well-fitting clothes that he likes which suits his well-dressed demeanor when you first meet him, having a taste for something more stylish than subdued as even plain clothing can be eye-catching in his hands. Even if it is a trip to the gym or having an outing with several friends, he is meticulous about his appearance that there is rarely a time where something catches him unprepared for.

Biography

Rasied to be independent, brought up to be strong, taught to be a man and so Ashby was to their eyes, painted pristinely onto a door that creaked at its hinges when opened. It was just how he was brought up by his parents who expected and planned many great things for him in the future as they provided for the family. Of course, this attention didn't just go sorely on him as his two younger brothers were also raised in the household only two years younger than him who he watched over as they went through their own lives.

Born and raised on the sunny coasts of California, they lived a fairly privileged life compared to others as their parents worked early in the mornings to the mid-evenings where they saw each other again. This left the three boys fairly a lot of time to themselves as they were expected to take care of each other until father and mother got home. Growing up close to each other backs and having a cheerful relationship with each other as they got into their own problems in school. Together, they all lived as a fairly normal family with their own quirks and tics that made their lives uniquely theirs alone.

But eventually, even kids had to grow up and enter the world as Ashby and his own brothers soon entered college one by one. Each of his siblings went on to do their own thing as they stumbled in their own ways but eventually ended up where they were meant to be. His youngest brother, Brian, was the most gifted yet troubled as nobody doubted him when he enrolled in university to become a doctor as they knew he was capable of it. As the middle child, Vincent was the most unique out of them all as he found success being sponsored by a sports organization and owning a business in the rollerskating scene.

For Ashby himself, he took a different path and went to culinary school despite his parent's insistence, managing to eventually brush them off as he worked his butt off. Not only getting into his desired school but graduating as one of the top students of his class with a bachelor's in both culinary science and business management which, to say the least, was an intense experience...

From his internship, he was recommended and landed a well-paying job after graduation into the world of fine dining in Los Angeles as one of the kitchen cooks. With three-course meals priced at one hundred dollars or more per person and required being smartly attired with their dress code, high-end restaurants are a completely different beast from the common restaurant. Taking the culinary skills of a chef and forging it into a sharper blade with the trials and tribulations of every working night, it a job only for those who are truly passionate.

As upon hours on hours, his hands are unmistakable for those who have worked hard in the kitchen but there is still a life outside the bustling nights of restaurants. With the world passing by as his attention laid on his career, even his parents had moved to Colorado for their retirement while his two younger brothers went off to continue their own paths that separated them in different states. Entertaining the thoughts of opening a restaurant of his own until in 2016 it happened.

Global news covered the event all over the world as the chaos brought people fear of what would happen next and the actions of the government to address the situation. Thankfully, no one Ashby personally knew was involved but a few coworkers talked about hearing a relative being questioned and interviewed by the police. In light of the situation, however, he called and eventually moved with one of his younger brothers to a new house where they lived together on the condition he always cooked. Then life continued as always but with more frequent (every other month or so) visits from their youngest brother and parents just to check up on each other. Plans would get delayed over some of the concerns over the unprecedented event people would later call The First Wave but life carried on.

At the start of 2017, Vincent and his family got together in celebration of what the new year would bring, with hopes of better fortune for everyone. Their cheerful and slightly inebriated gathering while a good memory was blanched by the news in the following day, reports coming in of people like the incident from the previous year. Again, nobody that they knew personally was affected but it still rattled them of the situation that was happening, with the government seeming more prepared this time around than before. Or at least, that was what the internet forums claimed as Ashby looked up some of the discussions alongside his more tech and social media-savvy brother who followed them more closely than he did.

Conversations nervously grew as the start of 2018 passed them but coverage of the incident seemed... different compared to the previous years. It was an apprehensive hope as there were no blatant displays, instead being a slow burn that slowly the general public caught onto in the following weeks and months of what went wrong. At this point for his brothers and their parents, New Year's celebration took the entire week just for making sure everyone was okay before heading back home since they all visited Ashby and his brother's home in California. It was a strange twist that his brother decided to stay in California longer, having come down to visit them with a short flight they'd taken. That was when the strange things started happening with his youngest brother, always being out late until the wee hours of the morning that even Ashby got back home earlier from his late-night restaurant shifts. Cameras that they installed in the house started going Paranormal Activity on them as they caught the strangest things that made the two brothers concerned for their youngest. Their initial plan was to confront him if it wasn't reversed against them, resulting in an argument that left them blacked out of whatever happened next. In the following days, their concern grew after their brother stopped coming home that they issued a missing person report and looked for him but nothing bore fruit.

Still, life carried on even as the Fourth Wave fell upon them as another year passed them by. It was the painful fact that they entered a new year with a missing brother, still not found and perhaps nagging at their conscious of what blatantly happened to him, it was a solemn start to the year that no one knew what was going to happen. Everyone in the family took a step back from their work and separate lives to come together, taking a month or so to go through memory lane and get their tears out. In time, 2019 did get better for them in a way as they all took strides in achieving something new as they dug in to distract themselves. His brother's viewership increased to a steady average of around one hundred thousand views for the videos he released that resulted in him grabbing a second sponsor for his career. Ashby himself moved up the food chain as the pastry station chef with several other cooks assisting him whenever a shift comes around for lunch or dinner time.

As time went on during the year, it seemed things were getting back to normal and maybe even looking better in the right perspective. That's at least until the new year came around once more...

Skills and Weaknesses

Skills:

• Passion, Cooking: One doesn't just go to school for four years, especially culinary school, 'just for fun' as there also has to be passion involved to persevere through the hardships. This results in the culmination of Ashby's greatest strength, having hundreds upon hundreds of hours and experience invested that he has picked up a variety of skills in the kitchen beyond just cooking. However, out of them all, cooking is most assuredly his most polished ability he has command over that the common person wouldn't dream of reaching. Given a few more years, he would be a good person to become a sous chef or even an executive chef when he got some more experience.
• Conversationally Fluent: While not expected to learn any other languages in his family, living on the west coasts of California allows a lot of people for Ashby to meet. The contact and exposure he got was a fun thing for him that influenced him to learn new languages so that he could interact with people. As such his most comfortable languages are Spanish and French, due to the culture he has come into contact which that gave him plenty of practice. Also, embarrassingly enough, he also learned some Arabic in order to make a good impression on one of his friend's parents but it's still at a level that he has much to learn. It from that friend and their family that he's getting the opportunity to learn from, or at least that was the case until everything happened that he had to drop it.
• People Person: People are interesting and Ashby likes getting to know them better, all with their own lives and stories packed within them. As such he is generally an open and outgoing person, preferring to entice people to do the same with his honeyed personality. Like a sponge that just doesn't seem to have a limit, he is earnestly a curious person who likes to learn and doesn't mind even if it may be a tad personal at times. This is especially true with people that he mutually likes, growing easily attached to them but isn't such a bad thing depending on how you look at it.

Weaknesses:

• Self-Conscious, Self-Critical: Sure he presents himself as an open and relatable person which he's happy that everyone takes to but that is also the end goal and result he wants to achieve. Finding it hard not to be judgemental about himself or the qualities that he feels are lacking, he likes to always be working on himself even if others say he needs to take a rest. Its a terrible combination of being a workaholic and self-critic that will one day bring Ashby down piece by piece if he doesn't tone it down for his own good.
• Stonewalled Empathy: "I don't mind honestly. Besides your happiness is indirectly my happiness as well."
• Overprotective: As an older brother and sometimes referred fondly as a dad to his friends, Ashby does seem to take the protective role in personal situations involving them. Being earnest and genuine in where it is coming front, he only wishes for them to be their best but sometimes he takes it a step or two more than he means to. It just feels like everyone needs that somebody to challenge them or keep them on track when they have so much 'potential' that can slip through their hands.

Spells: Choose specific abilities with reasonably well defined capabilities and drawbacks. These spells reflect the knowledge your character already had, not arcane study or sorcery tutorship, and similarly are unlikely to be very well refined or powerful.

• Refine Control (Red): A simple spell that allows Ashby to greater manipulate part of his body, allowing things that already be possible to be a step or two better. In exchange for overclocking, he burns through calories faster and gobbles up stamina for the focus that is involved.
• Enchant Object: Sharpen (Violet): Truly a deadly spell that imbues an object with a 'sharp edge' refined cutting capabilities about twice as effective but does completely nothing else. It is a fairly non-taxing spell but requires him to be in contact with a viable object and focus on the action of 'cutting' to make it effective. Continuous and constant use generally leads to sore hands and eventually cramps that forces him to drop it around the hour mark.
• Sense of Change (Green): In his affinity for cooking, Ashby currently has an uncontrollable ability that enhances and refines his senses to changes occurring in his area of focus. It only comes into effect when he is in a state of calm and focus that comes to him in the kitchen.
• Extraction (Red): Resonating with that peaceful state of mind from previously, this is another ability of Ashby that manifests in that kind of environment. Augmenting his ability to pull the best qualities of the ingredients he's using to the forefront

Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Raised in a household that sheltered him from the world, it only encourages those who are rebellious to grow their desire of whatever lies outside, whether it be for good or bad. This has set up Nikos to being who he is today, an adventurous soul at the very core of his being despite what anyone in his family could do to stem that desire. While he does miss the familiar sights of home and voices of everyone, the desire to explore the wide expanse of the world and everything that is out there simply calls to him. A strange duality of selfish indulgence yet caring desire that he brings with him wherever he goes, it is no doubt who is the strangest one out of the three siblings that his parents had. Playful and bubbly almost to a fault, it is a visage bound to bring at least a smile or laugh upon meeting such an individual whether it be a good or bad impression. Objective for the Grail ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Losing the Unified Language was a point in history where the world was being broke asunder, where the living could once communicate with the dead or non-living was now impossible. Even in the waking world of humanity, they were shattered as the language which wove their culture was now gone from the hubris of mankind, separating them into different societies with different thoughts that could not be communicated with each other. Despite that history which has been buried beneath the sands of time, mankind have striven for attaining something that transcended the limitations that were placed on them, time and time again. Whether it be the Root that mages seek or a masterpiece that speaks to the heart of all who witness it, there is little difference for Aleksei Morozov. For in his eyes, the best work seeks to not only transcend but encompass and overwhelm human understanding, being something that ultimately resonates with the world itself.

_{Character Synopsis
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

They say that when the Gods retreated to the Reverse Side of the world, they left us entirely. That is what the twilight world of magi would teach in ignorance of the old ways, still seeking to hold their roots firmly in the world. Lineages and agreements still tie families beyond the Age of Humans to a time where the Gods were worshipped and the people received their gifts, persisting even to modern-day even if the Mystery of the divine has waned. Still, they're remnants of an age long past and thus irregularities to the eyes of Magi in modern practice, leaving them as outliers and outcasts in the best case.

The Athanasiou family is one of those who trace their lineage back to the Age of Gods in Greece, carrying the boons typical of such a bloodline that survived since then. Despite the age of their blood, they are considered to be third-rate as Magi but their capabilities as spellcasters are top-notch, renowned as musicians with a gift for their music-based magecraft.

While generations separated from their ancestors, they are a family of magi who have the inhuman blood flowing through them. A union between such was not uncommon back then whether it be intentional by the Gods or accidental, it has resulted in them possessing such a heritage that still remains in Greece. As such, they are formally respected in Greece for their age and stature but ultimately overlooked, known as 'the Golden Songbirds of Greece' who are likened to beautiful birds trapped in a cage.

It is a situation that isn't much of a stretch despite what they may say, holding a way of life that isolated themselves from the world, as every piece of them is worth much in the twilight world of magecraft. They keep themselves isolated in their ancestral homeland where they can stand powerful, where their magecraft is embedded into the land and its foundation lies as a solid safety net.

For Nikos, he risks his life by leaving the protection of his family and the home country where he holds at least some power with. That is simply the spirit of the adventurer inside him that seeks out the glamourous treasures of the world at his own peril. This may be due to the fact that out of all of his living relatives, he is frighteningly considered to be the closest in psyche and nature to their inhuman ancestors, eclipsing them in talent for their family's teachings.

And so, the call for adventure and so many interesting things pulled him all across the world that nobody would deny that he is someone well-traveled. Picking up stories and memories along the way that he keeps close to him, whispers of something interesting intrigued him as he began to make way to Switzerland. He made a few important calls and letting those be in the know in case opportunity decided to bless him, it's a chance that anyone would die for.

_{Magic Circuits
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

_{// Activation:}

The deliberate breath of air before his voice comes out to sing.

_{// Quantity:}

C Rank | Considered to be the least gifted in terms of natural ability to perform magecraft, Nikos possesses 30 natural magic circuits since the day of his birth which is a very respectable amount. Coming from the age of his family, it is considered to be lackluster but he makes up for it in other ways that define him. For his family's crest, while he is not the one who is to inherit it, it gives roughly around 50 additional magic circuits that his eldest brother is granted.

_{// Quality:}

B Rank | Each of his Magic Circuits can handle around 40 units of magical energy, meaning that his maximum output is around 1200 units worth of magical energy. Once again coming him his lineage and the age of his family, the overall characteristics of his natural Magic Circuits are superior to the average magus. As such, he is more than being capable of supporting most of the upper class servants but is considered to be 'just barely average quality' within their family.

BASICS

Name:
Alexander Holcroft

" Alex "

Gender / Preferred Pronouns:
He / Him / They

Age:
18

Birthday:
June 22 ♋︎

Sexuality:
Bisexual, Male preference

APPEARANCE

On most mornings you can find Alex already in his morning routine before even the crack of dawn, it doesn't matter if he only went to sleep a few hours ago, he'll keep on continuing. That doesn't mean that every day is sunshine and lollipops for him, some days are definitely better than others like anyone else but this is why this is called a routine with his establish set of good habits. Whether it be keeping up with material fashion or physical health, he always seems to have his fingers on the pulse in addressing them if he wants to change anything.

His secret to taming his messy bed head? It's located in the shower with some water and a bit of soft handling, it can do wonders for anyone, isn't that amazing? Of course, that's the easy part before he has to the mop up his wet locks of dark brown hair with the blow dryer while simultaneously combing to shape it into shape. It not hard after a few years of ingraining it as his muscle memory since all the best things come after working for them, plus the countless amount of dollars spent but he doesn't talk about that. In the end though, he makes it look effortless when his wavy hair has been styled to the side yet still with volume that has strong sense of care for the way it has been handled.

Imagine all of that was just for his hair, now think about the rest of him. Just kidding. Or am I?

Continuing on for Alex, his closet of clothes has a little bit of everything that he can fit into any occasion which may come up so he could be called someone with a pretty solid foundation clothing-wise. He generally doesn't fall into any category or style for the clothes he wears but overall would be considered as someone who was well dressed for the situation. It is a skill that is much harder than it sounds as having a solid understanding on what kind of event he is going to and fitting himself to match while still being tasteful is not something one just picks up without much experience and deliberation. Thankfully, his height of 5' 8 is quite average that most things he looks for are quite accessible for him if he searches with enough effort.

PSYCHE

Personally, Alex has always seen himself as an introvert but repeatedly the idea has been rejected by people as he's seen as 'the popular one' or as 'someone who knew everyone'. This might of been a shallow observation from others, but Alex never had really close friends that he's let into his own life. Mostly having presented himself as a cheerful person who went along with anything lead many people to find him simply easy to talk to and befriend. Over time, he has come to interpret his experience and perspective of him simply having many casual friends he has but not having any close individuals who know him in and out.

However, there is truly a difference between being truly a kind and compassionate individual or being kindhearted so that other people would like you. As for himself, he's always gauged himself to fall in the latter category as a phony, keeping himself under wraps as the outside world never managed to pierce through the veil he always placed up. That never meant he didn't truly interact with people genuinely but he's like a baby chick who never broke out of their shell, having never found a solid anchor for himself to establish on. As such, he always enjoyed the presence of others who he finds as better people than him, supporting them and wishing them the best over his own self.

If he was to perform his own evaluation on his personality, he'd fall under the archetype of the Mediator, being quite the accurate description for him yet not without a few discrepancies. Same with the star sign of his birth being Cancer, it is also another aspect of him that he resonates with parts of the description yet does not fully describe him. Together with the two of them, he'd agree that he would be a prime example as he places his own emotional baggage onto the back burner while prioritizing others, being a behavior that he aptly does which align with the two classifications. In a sense, the protective and cautious aspect of his personality takes to the forefront, while his emotional side is truly evident in the care he provides for his friends that may surprise people.

However, the mask that he placed on simply end when graduating, like any habit you'd continue with them until yourself or something pushes a change to say otherwise. In fact after High School, the pressure to fit into the mold and mask that he designed for himself is becoming more of a natural instinct for him. Anything that is going on in the back of his mind will build up there until he eventually implodes in one way or another, whether it be today or next week, that is simply how his personality is and always been. As time passes on, a palpable feeling of distance has become stronger, intertwined with the presence of melancholic aloofness. Sometimes if you catch him at the end of his fuse, his emotional side may violently crack its way through the mask that he placed in front of him, but that's when a person should notice that it's really a red flag.

BACKSTORY

Born to a family that always seemed to change faces, there were never the same people in one household for too long. If this family were to live together, they would be six people total who would be together with the hierarchy of the father, mother, brother, and sister who also loved each other. Once upon a time, they did exactly that but now, they were shattered and splintered into pieces that everyone knew better than to even touch or get near. Still, before the cracks severed their family apart, his parents were both witches who came together to raise a family and everything that would be entailed in their not so mundane lives.

However, disagreement found its way through their lives that ended up with their mother leaving the family when Alex was around 9 years old without an announcement. While too young to completely understand what happened, his older siblings were the ones to take the brunt of the drama and chaos that entailed such a messy separation. As the second youngest of the household and with a ten-year gap between his older siblings, the only thing he members are the tiny flecks of the conflict that echoed throughout the household between his mother and father that largely remains scattered.

Despite a few memories being firmly ingrained in his recollection, the time of his childhood were rough placed to the side as he barely remembers anything meaningful outside of a few select pieces. To him, he prefers to not think about this time when he used to bounce between two households before it became just one, is a very troubling time for not only just him but his father who served as the pillar to what remained of their family. As there was a time were they were dealing with the aftermath of what had happened to their family, healing over the cracks and wounds in any way they could so nothing else have to be lost. Even at that time, things still fell through everyone’s hands as it was impossible to catch everything but they tried.

It was hard for everyone and he still remembers the time when his older brothers were still troubled by their parent’s separation as they acted out in their own unique ways which Alex learned from. He was the quietest child of the family who always stuck with himself, he kept things tucked away so nobody would have to worry about him which allowed his mother to take care of his mentally challenged sister who had several complications since birth. As such he never grew much into himself but from an outside perspective, things began to get better as the years went on when they managed to plant their feet as they found a new house in Maryland to start anew from the west coast. His father even found someone special who went through something similar as they came together to raise their families together, resulting in Alex gaining an older stepbrother.

Only through his wife was Alex's dad was able to acquaint himself with the coven of The Sisters of the Dying Branch years ago, allowing his two older children to be initiated with the voucher of goodwill as a fellow witch on his behalf. They were older than average was their age for initiation by the time approval went through but they were indeed trained as witches by his father. As such, Alex got accustomed to the mountainous roads that lead to the coven, finding it to have its own charm that he appreciated as naps were taken and music played in the car. From his family's rocky circumstances, he rarely got to formally learn magic outside of the few things he was taught and the discoveries he found out on his own. With their new start, Alex finally got the taste of magic in his system that never truly left him as he began to dig into.

As the years passed, Alex grew wiser and smarter as anyone should and soon reached the age that he was expected to join the coven.

Notable Rumors:

• Claimed to be currently seeing one of his girlfriend's guy friend behind her back
  
  _{While he does hang out with a handful of female friends he's friendly with, he's only dated one of them and even then they have broken up.}

• Had to move schools because of a bullying incident that happened with the kids there.
  
  _{It's true that he had to move from that incident but the events of what happened have been hushed up by the school for good publicity.}

• Said to have gotten involved with the cute chemistry / physics teacher at his high school.
  
  _{Calling a teacher good looking doesn't mean anything. Besides, other students have been around, even when they had a celebration at their place.}

• Heard to be involved in some sketchy things outside of school that the adults don't know about.
  
  _{His younger sister has a learning disability and activities are provided for enrichment, sometimes it's playing some soccer and other times volunteering.}

Greatest Fear:
Rejection and Failure are two palpable feelings for Alex that's caused him trouble before, accompanying each other wherever they go that hangs onto him when they get a chance.

NOTABLES

Magic:

Alex's Area of Studies

Most Notable Study: Fate/Entropy Spinning
A curious area of study that witches have done over the centuries that have been grouped up or attributed to other forms of magic. It is truthfully an area that one could be considered to be separate from other forms of magic and worthy of focusing which is what Alex has done. The roots of its influence dig into the crafting of 'good luck charms' to 'readings of the future' and even 'curses felled upon people' which only scratches the surface.

The closest practice of magic could be considered 'Divination' that deals with readings of the future by diving through time but Fate Spinning focuses instead on the 'present' that it influences to affect the 'potential future'. It is an unpredictable, ultimately uncontrollable, yet potent form of magic as probability and even the concept of 'destiny' can be bent. As such the more complex and higher forms of this practice are incredibly costly and present a danger that restrictions have been placed on it.

It hasn't stopped him from experimenting on his own, hiding his proficiency in this area under the guise of creating 'good luck charms' and performing 'fortune readings' for others which are within his capabilities. Beyond the oversight of the adults, he uses this magic more freely as a strange hobby that he indulges in, watching the patterns flow to places and strings of fate being pulled that he watches and follows. That has earned him the reputation of being someone who had his fingers in everything seemingly, knowing a surprising amount of people from different places as performs random odd jobs and favors for them. People know better to avoid playing games of chance with him if they don't want to lose and that he seems to be occasionally involved when shifts of events seem to work out a few steps in his favor.

Interested Studies: Wards
The magic used to create protected objects or spaces that have a wide area of application depending on the situation that a witch can find themselves in. As someone who has a few things he likes to hide at times, he is skilled for someone of his age group, having established the good habit of making sure no one can listen or watch when having an important conversation. It's a common joke that he likes to make about making sure that they have a 'safe space' that people would be comfortable talking within which isn't a total lie.

It is his father's trade which gives him someone to study under whenever he has time and his stepmother isn't also too bad with it either that results in him having a healthy education with this area of magic. While simple, his fondest memory was during a camping trip when he was younger where he finally set up a ward to prevent bugs once he polished it up. The sweet relief of no mosquitos or creepy critters in the night was a small blessing for everyone after getting bitten.

Interested Studies: Spatial Interference
A branch of magic that could be considered to be an extension of Elemental Magic to a degree. It is a base component to witches who are able to teleport as they bend space to physically disappear and reappear somewhere else. Taking that principle, one is able to reinforce the space around them to prevent it from being used in such ways with enough practice and extend it through the use of Wards as well. It is something that Alex hopes to accomplish one day but he doesn't have many other peers who can help him make such a task.

However, that doesn't warrant a witch to take such an interest in such nuances unless they wish to also achieve teleportation which Alex does want one day but isn't his current focus. His current expertise is involved in making compartmentalized space or 'pocket spaces' where he can put inorganic items in, currently at the size of a business briefcase out nothing. If he is given some material around the size of a school backpack or smaller, he can give about 50% more space they have within them that increases with smaller items, which is the most he can work with.

Casual Studies: Healing
His stepmother's trade as a seasoned practitioner of healing magic, she was always the one to patch up his bruises and scratches after his dad's lessons. He tried to pick the art up from a young age but always lacked the aptitude for it that he never more focus on it.

While not inexperienced or untrained, at most he's simply good at magical first aid should the occasion ever bring itself to him. He would leave any of the further delicate processes to those more skilled in his age group if they're any or the adults who eclipse him with experience.

Lackluster Studies: Combat Magic
Defensive and Combat Magic are his father's trade as he is properly trained should trouble every arise, he is more than capable of handling himself compared to the average witch.

It is an area of magic that should run in the family, with his older siblings easily picking it up from their father but Alex was always the one getting wiped even when others came to practice. Sure he was given the proper instruction and knowledge that his father isn't at fault but rather a surprising lack of affinity on Alex's part that he just doesn't 'click' with it. It does leave him being more comfortable moving his body in such situations and acting than those without but those with more combat sense and experience especially will find him easily read in upfront confrontation.

Lackluster Studies: Elemental Magic
Similar to his experience in combat magic, he just seems to be trumped in elemental magic that he obviously knows he's behind them. That doesn't mean he hasn't learned anything but natural progression just seems to be difficult for him, stacked along with the fact that he's interested in other areas. He's still able to throw pebbles at annoying people, wring out water from his hair, or try to air out some last-minute laundry. It's just that nothing is impressive or substantial compared to others in his age group.

Abysmal Affinity: Illusion/Mental Magic
If it is possible to have an adverse affinity to a type of magic, it is of this nature for Alex as they seemingly gobble him up. While it may seem that he is the type of person to excel in this kind of magic, after an incident in his childhood of trying something overambitious left him worse for wear. It was an issue that only got noticed when something designed to be 'fake' began to affect something that was 'real' which his parents scolded him for after resolving it and taking care of him.

Ever since then, he's mostly stayed away from such magic and the skill he had in that area has atrophied into a shadow of itself. Attempts to use it since that event has resulted in him easily losing control of the spells that he tried that he called it a lost cause to pursue.

Other:

• His family has two German Shepherds that got when he was around 12 years old. They're called Maximus and Hermes.
• He has three older siblings (Luke, Caius, and Melphina) and one younger (Leia).
• Recorational drugs were introduced to him by his older siblings, even then they only do it once or twice a year (that he knows of).
• He's pretty decent at roller and ice skating but he has had a few nasty falls that he prefers to do it with someone.
• Has a nicotine habit that he takes care of whether it be with normal cigarettes or electronic ones, it reaches his hands either way.
