[Raineh Daze]

• Name: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, proud owner of a stupidly long name.
• Class: Saber
• Appearance: Still just letting you see.
• Abilities:
  • Strength: D
  • Endurance: B
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: B
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm: -
• Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance: C. Despite being a Saber, Nero boast a pitifully low magic resistance due to her own lack of interaction with the art.
• Personal Skills:
  • Divinity: A++ (D). With the family descent from Mars, and holding a direct descent back to the founding of the family tree through her mother, Nero holds a natural level of Divinity. However, through Imperial Privilege--and specifically the Imperial Cult, which holds the dead Emperors as deities and in places and parts held select Emperors as living gods, including Nero--she has achieved the highest possible level of Divinity. Not that this does terribly much, but it's good for her ego.
  • Imperial Privilege: EX. A function of Aestus Domus Aurea, Nero's insistence that a certain ability should be the providence of the Emperor can make this a reality for a period. Such insistence is the entire basis for her class, granting the Emperor a truly impressive grasp of swordsmanship for one that would never have needed to use it, and skills in the various fields of athletics the Romans entertained (including wrestling, even if you're a lion). Such insistence gives her a truly diverse skill set despite her lack of direct combat power, from Riding through to all aspects of leading, arranging, and planning a military campaign from the tactical to the strategic level. These skills also work on the less relevant civic level--legal matters, politics, architecture and city planning; the role of an Emperor is vast. Finally, Nero's belief in her own artistic talent can be fully vindicated through the expression of this skill, although given her lack of taste...
    Only in two regards does this give Nero an ability that could be considered 'supernatural': augmenting the Divinity so attributed to the Emperor, and a link to the Emperor's role as Pontifex Maximus in the guise of casting and reading various auguries. Why would an Emperor possess some power not of this world, save for the gods' favour?
  • Invictus Spiritus: A. A skill born from an anecdote where, three days after her death, a servant thought to cover her body--only for the apparently-deceased emperor to open her eyes and thank him. It is further born from the possibility of a wraith born of her resentment still lingering long after her demise...
    Similar in nature to Battle Continuation, only rather than allowing for her Nero to continue fighting after receiving a fatal wound, it instead means not dying when fatally wounded--at least, not for a much longer period than a Servant should be able to hold on despite the severity. At this rank, stubbornness alone is enough to force survival for several days in spirit form regardless of injury--although on her own, she could never recover from this state.
  • Migraine: B. The greatest limitation on Nero's exercise of her considerable talents is, of course, the frequent recurring migraines. At least her ability to swing a sword is undiminished.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Aestus Domus Aurea. Type: Reality Marble. The manifestation of the Emperor's unyielding belief in her own abilities and ego, even in the face of an uncooperative Senate, a coup, and even her own madness. It takes the form of the theatre that at once expresses the combination of her civic abilities in rebuilding from the fire, architectural skill, and a venue for her artistic ambitions. Passively, it grants her the ability to access skills she never learned or at a level superior to her life (see above) and justifies her position as the strongest class of Servant.
    Activated, the world created is a perfect venue for whatever the Emperor might desire--cooking or arts, gladiatorial combat or simply fighting. In the face of the Emperor's magnificence, enemies' statistics are ranked down, progressively getting more severe if the theatre is maintained for long enough, such that none may outshine the theatre's star. And of course, Nero herself is strengthened--the environment of her theatre is always going to match her desires, and within its confines the truly theatrical like a flaming sword and roses are all but guaranteed.
• Personality: There are several words that can be used to describe Nero's attitude, but inevitably it all comes round to the obvious: if there's anyone in the world that can possibly compete with her by ego alone, then it's the King of Heroes, followed shortly thereafter by the King of Conquerors. She assumes, from the start, that she is the greatest of artists, able to rival the very gods themselves, and that everything she does must be perfect. To that end, she puts a truly vast amount of passion into everything that she does--a passion that she expects to be reciprocated, even if her subjects cannot possibly match it or understand the art produced.
  Her driving desire, besides art, is beauty (and for some reason, competing with Heracles. Given that she's a short girl, wrestling a lion might be impressive but it's a long way off), and it doesn't matter if you're male or female to that end in getting her interest. Because of this, she has little direct interest in wealth or treasure--but the trappings of it greatly appeal to her interests.
  Despite her general attitude being upbeat, she's quite easily angered by criticising her art or refusing to experience it, believing that it is something to be admired and praised even if beyond your comprehension. On the flip side, flattering her is an easy way to get into Nero's good graces and manipulate her.
• Alignment: Chaotic Pervert Good

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

• Name: Nagao Kagetora
• Class: Lancer
• Appearance: "Bishamonten's protection is upon me!"
• Personality: At heart, Kagetora is a person who cannot understand the oddities and complexities of human emotions. Born with immense strength that dwarfed that of the people around her, she was never once able to understand the weakness of the humans that she protected thus. Without sadness, without anger, Kagetora herself simply wore a permanent smile upon her face, never once breaking the mask that she put on for herself (and continues to do so even now). With that said, though she is 'inhuman' in terms of both empathy and strength (which she herself acknowledges), her battle-mania means that combat is where her usually boisterous self stops being held back, be it by herself or by others. To charge forth into battle without fear or hesitation to strike down enemies is fun for her, after all, so even as a Servant she is more than a little unruly in that regard. That being said, her own ability as a former warlord is not to be underestimated...
• Stats:

  • Endurance: C
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: D+
  • Luck: C+
  • Noble Phantasm: B
• Class Skills:
  
  • Magic Resistance: C
  • Riding: C
  • Divinity: C
• Personal Skills:
  
  • Fate is With Heaven: A
    A skill that amplifies Kagetora's own personal exploits on the battlefield, and has varying effects depending on what circumstances she finds herself in. On a chaotic battlefield, Kagetora is able to carve through the enemy to bring victory; in a duel, she is able to strike accurately and decisively regardless of the state of the fight itself. Additionally, Kagetora is able to summon multiple other weapons for use in combat, regardless of her class being denoted as Lancer. As an avatar of Bishamonten, such boons are but a given.
  • Armor Upon the Chest: A
    Drawing upon an anecdote where she calmly drank wine and dodged bullets flying all about without a scratch upon her, this skill allows Kagetora to dodge any and all objects fired at her so long as she believes that she will not be hit. The effect of this skill is not absolute, of course—if there are enough shots fired at her, it is possible that this skill will fail and that the projectiles will find their mark.
  • Accomplishment in the Feet: A
    An amalgamation of Military Tactics and Charisma, this skill allows Kagetora (who, in over 70 military battles across her lifetime, had never been defeated) to direct and lead her forces to victory in battle. Of course, her own personal style of combat is more suited for explosive and violent battles, so this skill fares poorly against opponents who prefer to hide away in castles or fortresses or the like.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Bishamonten's Eight Phases Wheel Charge Formation
  • Rank: B
  • Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army
  • Appearance: --
  • Effects: Kagetora's Noble Phantasm does not actually activate without having its name spoken, as it is a technique rather than any sort of tangible object. When invoked while Kagetora is mounted on her horse, she is able to split into eight different copies of herself to strike out at her opponents. Though these eight clones may focus on a single target, their status as a sublimation of her military tactics enables them to be used to direct the flow of battle as well. Wounds inflicted upon these copies do not reflect back onto the original, and though they only last a short while, they are more than able to inflict the same amount of damage as if it was the original lashing out.

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Okita Souji
• Class: Assassin
• Appearance: "In battle, there is no good or evil... only killing."
• Personality: Assassin possesses something of a contradictory nature. In battle, she is a very serious combatant, completely focused on the fight, determined to win. She does not consider battle in terms of good or evil, rather in terms of winning and losing. That being said, this does not mean she does not approach battle totally without moral concerns. Rather, she will attempt to win regardless of her enemy's cause. That being said, Assassin is not tolerant of truly evil actions, such as the harming of innocent people without cause or especially the intent to harm children. Indeed, Assassin has an affinity for children, enjoying spending time around them and making them happy. In spite of her conduct in battle, Assassin is revealed to be a very different person outside of combat. Lighthearted, optimistic, and even somewhat ditzy, Assassin is a remarkably cheerful and friendly girl who shows almost no signs of the determined and skilled fighter who focuses utterly on her victory. However, no matter what, she is always very proud of her skills in combat, referring to her ultimate technique as 'perfect' and often complimenting herself on a job well done, after a fight. While she will refer to herself as a Manslayer, and express surprise at someone being open and friendly towards her, that does not prevent her from being open and friendly towards others. Assassin deeply enjoys sweets, especially dango. In spite of her cheerful and energetic personality, she is deeply regretful over the circumstances of her death, wishing she had the chance to fight to the end with her compatriots. Finally, she is quite dismayed at being summoned as Assassin rather then Saber, even though nothing has really changed.
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: E
  • Agility: A+
  • Mana: E
  • Luck: D
  • Noble Phantasm: C
• Class Skills:
  • Presence Concealment: C
• Personal Skills:
  • Eye of the Mind(False): A. An innate, instinctive sixth sense, allowing Assassin to sense both weaknesses in the opponent's defense and incoming attack. It almost appears to be a form of prescience, but it is in fact a natural instinct. At this rank, it is possible to 'see' beyond visual obstruction.
  • Weak Constitution: A. A skill inherently similar to Innocent Monster. Due to the modern perception of Assassin's death by tuberculosis, it is possible that Assassin may suffer from a sudden drop in status, accompanied by coughing fits, fever, and weakness. While it may occur at any time, the risk of its occurrence is very low. Additionally, the parameter drop is mitigated due to the advantage provided by her presence in her homeland.
  • Reduced Earth: B. A technique Assassin honed to near-mastery in life, through a combination of breathing and bodily motion she is capable of cutting the distance between herself and her target in an instant, seemingly as if she has teleported from one location to the other. Further advancement of this technique would become dimensional transition.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Mumyou Sandanzuki: A Sword Absolute
  • Rank: N/A
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: N/A
  • Effects: Technically a skill rather than a Noble Phantasm, Mumyou Sandanzuki is a transcendent sword technique unique to Assassin. It is the pinnacle of her capabilities as a samurai, an attack that is composed of three simultaneous thrusts. This is not to say that the thrusts occur so quickly that they appear simultaneous. Rather, it is three individual thrusts that occur, fundamentally, at the same time, at the same position. Even if it were possible to block an individual strike, the other two would still pierce their target. This contradiction causes reality itself to shatter at the tip of the sword, the relationships between cause and effect breaking down entirely. This technique surpasses virtually any known defense, and even the mere destruction of material objects, allowing it to destroy objects that the sword normally would not be capable of piercing. When the attack has been completed, Assassin comes to a halt behind her target, the point of impact having become a perfectly circular hole. While blocking is impossible, defenses that rely on preventing the tip of the sword from reaching its target are the best measure against it.
  
  
  • Name: Chikai no Haori ~ The Colors of the Shinsengumi
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: The haori worn by Saber
  • Effects: The distinctive haori worn by officials that were part of the Shinsengumi in Kyoto during the Bakumatsu period. When clad in this garment, Assassin's very mentality causes her capabilities to be ranked up, both in terms of her parameters and the weapon that she wields. Her physical parameters are ranked up, and she receives her beloved katana, Kiku-Ichimonji Norimune to replace Kojiki Kiyomitsu, her usual weapon. As this Noble Phantasm instantly reveals her identity, she is unlikely to use it unless she absolutely requires the enhancements that it provides.

[Anza]

• Name: Nana Miriam
• Class: Archer
• Appearance: "I am only a woman, but we will see what happens today."
• Personality: A simple, gentle girl who only wants to live out her life in peace. Miriam doesn't care about such things as power or superiority, so long as she can eat plenty of meat and run through the fields and sleep in the shade whenever she likes. One's nature or background doesn't matter, so long as one treats her respectfully she can get along with just about anyone.
  If something does end up irritating her, however, then obviously she's going to do something about it. It doesn't matter if it's a king or a monster or even a god, such titles are no big deal from Miriam's point of view. "If it's causing trouble, then it should just disappear, no?" she will say, with a completely innocent look in her eyes. If one does not take care to restrain her, then things can get quickly out of hand.

  • Luck: C
  • Noble Phantasm: A+
• Class Skills:
  
  • Independent Action: A
  • Magic Resistance: B
• Personal Skills:
  
  • Natural Body: A. The possession of a perfect body as a living being since birth, which grants a bonus modifier to her Strength. No matter how many calories she consumes, her body shape will never change.
  • Animal Communication: C+. Communication of intention with animals that do not speak human languages. Since it's not like the intellect of the animals improve, complex nuances are not conveyed. However, if she were to speak to a hippo, then it would no doubt do anything she said without question.
  • Shamanism: B. The ability to enter a dialogue with spirits of nature and make use of their powers via contract. On a basic level it's similar to the skill possessed by the servant Geronimo, but Miriam learned from a different school, and makes use of this ability far more aggressively.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Genesis Genocide
  • Rank: B
  • Type: Anti-Army
  • Appearance: "Father, give me an egg."
  • Effects: The egg with which she is said to have killed every living hippopotamus but one. A vessel containing a deadly curse, that will explode upon being thrown and drain the life from all targets in its radius. However, due to the legend of a single Nile-horse being spared, it is possible to withstand the curse by succeeding in a Luck check.
  
  
  • Name: Three Thousand Days' March
  • Rank: A+
  • Type: Anti-unit
  • Appearance: N/A
  • Effects: The unmatched throwing power of Nana Miriam, manifested as a Noble Phantasm. Any object thrown by her, whether a pebble or a tree or something else entirely, becomes a weapon capable of damaging Servants, traveling fast as an arrow and gaining a bonus to the strength of its impact. The True Name of this ability, however, can only be unleashed when Miriam lays both her hands upon an enemy: an instant-kill attack where she throws the target hard enough to send them flying beyond the furthest reaches of the atmosphere.

[Crusader Lord]

Lancer: The Draconic King of Thebes

Cadmus

Name: Cadmus, aka: “Founder of Thebes”, “The First Greek Hero”

Class: Lancer

Appearance: https://i.imgur.com/kgm4zCi.jpg

Personality: A brave and daring king who faces the dangers before him with a stalwart zeal, a level head, and a strong heart. Yet he also had the wisdom to avoid further pursuing his sister and going against the likes of Zeus, and despite his trespass against Ares he dutifully served the god to compensate. He even took up the task of helping defeat Typhon, following in with Zeus’ plan without fear. Yet even now he still loves his wife, Harmonia, despite the emergence of issues that would plague their bloodline due to her necklace. Though despite the favor the gods showed him in life, and some new perspective he has as a servant looking back, the regrets of his life still haunt him somewhat like an old scar regardless. Such is what it means to be a hero, at least in his eyes.

Weapon: Ismeanian Spear, Shield

Stats:

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

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: A

-Grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.

Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer".

Personal Skills:

Divinity: B

-is the measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels, one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit, and the level declines when the Heroic Spirit's own rank as a Monster or Demonic Beast rises. It can also decrease due to one's dislike for the gods. Those who have A Rank Divinity or above have reached the Throne of Gods. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. It can break through Skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig.

While he was both a grandson of the god Poseidon and a deity over the Nile River, giving him a low rank in this, his transformation into a sacred dragon near the end of his life raised this inherent divinity in him far more notably.

Affection of the Goddess: A

-is a Skill that denotes one being loved by a goddess.

Affection is from his wife, the goddess Harmonia, who devoutly loved him to the point she followed after him in his eventual fate just to stay with him. All stats are Ranked-Up.

Mana Burst: A

-is the increase in performance caused by infusing one's weapons and body with Magical Energy and instantly expelling it. Simply put, recreating the effect of a jet burst by expending large amounts of Magical Energy.

At Rank A, even a stick can become a weapon of great power. A normal weapon that is not on the level of a divine Mystery can be destroyed in one blow. Can also raise one's defense several times over.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: Ismenian Spear, “Sacred Dragon’s Fall: Slaying the Son of Ares”

Rank: A+

Type: Anti-Unit

Range: 2-50

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Appearance/Effects: The pride of Cadmus as a dragon-slaying hero, encompassing both the spear/javelin he used to kill the sacred Ismenian Dragon that was a son of the god Ares. It is a powerful dragon-slaying implement able to be wielded in melee for a powerful strike or alternately be cast like a javelin for a powerful ranged attack. It is a weapon capable of piercing the sacred dragon's scales as his weapons did, even the huge rock he threw before (thrown with such might it would have shaken the wall of a fortress) could not harm it. It is a weapon that embodies both the extraordinary strength of Cadmus as well as feat of dragon slaying.

It is normally just an A rank Noble Phantasm, but when used against members of the dragon kind or those bearing dragon traits the plus modifier kicks in to greatly boost its power. Incidentally, this weapon is also more effective against Cadmus himself due to his draconic traits.

This Noble Phantasm, in truth, exemplifies and embodies him as a "Dragon Slayer" just as him being in the Lancer class does. Yet at the same time even as a Lancer he naturally retains draconic traits, even if he can only access actually transforming into a dragon as a Berserker, as it was his dragon slaying fear that directly factored into his transformation into a sacred dragon later in life. By becoming a dragon slayer, he in turn was destined to become a dragon. Such was the fate of Cadmus.

-----------------------------

Name: Goiteía tou Typhon, “To Enchant Disaster Itself”

Rank: B

Type: Anti-Monster

Appearance/Effects: A Noble Phantasm and instrument tied to Cadmus playing enchanted panpipes given to him by Pan, wielded to enchant the monstrous Divine Beast Typhon as part of Zeus’ plan to get his thunderbolts back from the super-weapon-ish monstrosity. The power of these pipes’ enchanting music was such that Typhon “yielded his whole soul to Cadmos [Cadmus] for the melody to charm". Simply playing these pipes again is enough to stupefy and charm even phantasmal species and monstrous beings on the level of Divine Beasts, costing rather little mana to do so normally, but when activated with their true name these panpipes exert their true might and enchant its beastly/monstrous targets to Cadmus’ will and command.

Of course these pipes don’t affect normal humans or servants or demigods, unless they have become something like a Divine Beast or monster or some kind of beastly ilk. Someone like “that one Arcadian king” or “the Minotaur” or "Pegasus" or such ilk, etc, would be affected to give a reasonable example.

A Shockingly Astute Heiress

Leannah Hatten

Name: Leannah Hatten

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance: https://i.imgur.com/GxNPyH6.jpg

Personality: A generally upbeat sort of person, Leannah is the type who might be easier to approach or who at least tries to keep a positive mind about her work. She enjoys swimming and long, relaxing hot baths when it comes down to relaxing activities, but at the same time she isn't infallible either. The stress of a situation, even if she comes in dead serious about something, could still very much get to her under the pressures of an intense battle. She tries to hold herself professionally as an heir to her family at least, even wearing suits to this end, but at the same time if she gets worn down enough or overly stressed it is easy to see the 'cracks' forming in her facade in turn. Whilst not a fearful sort of person that would run away out of stress, Leannah would be one to probably run herself into the ground trying to keep going forward instead.

Skills:

-Medical Skills: She has acquired training in basic medical skills like first aid and general injury treatment, bringing the according tools and such in an aid kit with her wherever she goes. It mostly acts as a support to her healing magecraft, supplementing it's usage.

-Magecraft: A fairly skilled and talented magus in her own right for someone her age, she has naturally been trained since childhood and drilled in her family's craft to ensure it is passed on into good hands. Indeed she is the heir to her family, and bears their 250 year old crest which takes the design of a branching tree (similar to lightning scar patterns).

-Swimming: A pastime for her in which she'd gained some respectable skills, but mainly which is a means to relax and ease the mind as well as body. Allowed to take even swimming classes, since her family noted this was a thing that helped her perform better at magecraft when she was in a better mental and physical state. Her favorite backup in case of being unable to go swimming is a long, soaking hot bath otherwise.

Abilities:

***Magecraft:

-Lightning Magecraft: Elemental magecraft tied to generation and discharge of electricity, ranging from generating static/electricity in an object to even unleashing mighty lightning bolts to fry enemies to a crisp. With more time-consuming and powerful rituals, wielders are capable of things such as conjuring a thunderstorm they can manipulate over a local area...which of course requires the proper supplies and time and magic circles and probably the right amount of people to be involved of course. Can combine spells with generic defensive magecraft, such as a Basic Bounded Field for instance, to create defenses and traps in this manner.

Can also create more complex defenses and traps utilizing this magecraft, with the most complex possible one that Leannah can make being: "A bounded field that behaves similar to the defenses of the Tohsaka mansion in Fate/Zero. A network of 'channels' for electricity have been prepared strewn throughout the bounded field like invisible wires, each bearing a very low-voltage charge and remaining invisible to the eye. When an intruder pass into these 'channels', they activate and unleash a high-powered charge through the triggered channels. These channels can also be placed, such as some around a cabinet with magecraft supplies inside to protect, or otherwise be moved and 'tweaked' in their placement to best fit the wielder's need".

This magecraft is also her family's primary magecraft, with their ultimate goal being rather in line with a family who has been long involved in the Creation Department: "To recreate the lightning-producing weapon of Zeus, like the one given to him by Hephaestus". To achieve a level of power in their craft that goes beyond lethal zaps and treads into the same power level as that of the head god of ancient Greece's pantheon. This is not to say they wish to steal the lightning of the god by intruding upon him directly, but rather seek to perfect their craft and push it to reach the same levels of power and create their desired object. The perfect lightning, the perfect 'storm' as it were, a raw and almighty power they wish to be able to unleash that is on par with True Magic in its pure might. That is the point they wish to ascend to with their magecraft.

-Healing Magecraft: A supportive magecraft to the family's primary craft, honed over the years and developed as an ultimately necessary tool and secondary specialization. As evidenced by many past heads bearing scars or other varied injuries sustained in practicing their craft, the ability to ensure they don't just die or don't survive to pass on the family crest is something that has taken a lot of priority. It is also an area of magecraft surprisingly compatible with their attribute as well.

-General Magecraft

Brief Backstory: The heir to the Hatten Family, a group of English Magi who have sought the pinnacle of their titular Lightning Magecraft. They have long participated in the Creation Department for the last ~200 years, though do not exactly stand out as the largest family in the Clock Tower or even the Neutral Faction. Leannah was born and raised to be taught her family's craft, to be groomed into the heir that would continue their work, though much like her other family members she became a rather upbeat sort of individual. She was allowed to learn how to use some modern technology, since her parents saw fit that she understand how to navigate the modern world as a magus, though otherwise she ultimately took up taking classes at the Clock Tower after a certain point.

However, she was ultimately sent to participate in the Great Grail War by her family to help the MA. This is both to curry favor with certain individuals, as well as being done in a bid to finally have the Grail dismantled for good. This second stance her family has taken on the matter of the Grail mainly stems from her family's perspective of the Grail Ritual being, in her father's words: "too tempting and dangerous a siren, dashing the hopes and dreams of magi upon the rocks with the allure of granting a wish".

Faction: Magus Association

Other:

-Attribute: Excitation

-Element: Wind

-Other than the amount of money and other general supplies (mundane and magecraft related) needed for the length of the war, she comes bearing a pair of silver bracelets that act as catalysts help increase the speed of casting it.

[The Red Seelie]

Berserker of Red

Nurse of Steel

Name: Florence Nightingale Titles: "Little War Office" , "The Angel of Crimea" , The White Cloth of Steel Servant Class: Berserker Parameters STR : B+ END : A+ AGI : B+ Mana : D+ LCK : A+ NP : D Personality:Nightingale believes that pain is the proof of one's continued existence. She takes joy in nursing others, but will be sad if all her nursing efforts gets erased the moment her patients gets into harm's way. Thus she requests her patients to not overdo their work and exertion. She likes maintaining sanitation and cleanliness and the overall well-being of people, while she dislikes an unclean, decaying environment, as well as injuries and sicknesses. Regarding the former, she asks "Is there anything else that's essential in this world?", while for the latter, she questions "What can be worse than such hell on this earth?"

---

Personal Skills & Class Skills

Class Skills

Madness Enhancement: EX - Parameters are Ranked-Up, but is deprived of most reason. Nightingale speaks with a composed expression, but it is difficult to come to a mutual understanding since that is all her "speaking to herself."

Personal Skills

Nurse of Steel: A Skill where one can treat the injuries of allies using scalpels and medicines created from magical energy. Strengthened by the anecdotes of the people she saved, even the most serious of injuries can be treated. Treatment is possible whether the patient is a human or a Servant. While the techniques she uses are from the 18th to 19th Century, others attempting to replicate her technique cannot hope to achieve the same results.

Human Anatomy Understanding: A Skill that allows one to have a grasp of the inner workings of the human body, like a piece of precision machinery. For Nightingale, all actions intended to heal through Skills, Magecraft, etc. are improved. One is able to target enemy vitals with extreme precision, and all damage inflicted is increased. In addition, all damage received by the user is reduced. Nightingale's knowledge of anatomy is not just recorded in her memory, but is ingrained in her body and instincts as well

Angel's Cry: The spirits of those who hear it stir, granting a remarkable boost to their survival instincts. Those that hear her cry are much more likely to survive a close encounter with death.

Noble Phantasm

Nightingale Pledge

True Name: Nightingale Pledge: I Will Abstain From Whatever Is Deleterious And Mischievous
Type: Anti Army
Rank: C+
Precedent in History:
The Noble Phantasm of Florence Nightingale. Not only has this sublimated Nightingale's mentality, who ran into the battlefield and opposed death, but there is even connections to the concept of nurses as "angels in white that saves the sick and injured", which holds true in the modern days thanks to her own anecdotes. The huge upper body of the "Goddess of the White Cloth of Steel", which closely resembles Nightingale, appears as a vision and swings down her sword

---

Effect:
Nightingale Pledge negates all toxicity and hostility within the effective range, disables all weapons and Noble Phantasms, and heals poison and bad status effects in the case of Servants. Swords fall from hands, guns shoot no bullets, bombs cease their chemical reactions, Magecraft stops working, and Noble Phantasms' True Names are not released. A forcibly produced absolute safety zone. It also greatly heals the stamina and mana of selected targets.

Tara Chiaroscuros

Name: Tara Chiaroscuros
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Personality: Tara is shy and reclusive, she is fearful of other people though in a sort of twist is she not scared of the bizarre and the strange. Still she is a bright and innocent girl even if she has a sort of make-believe idea of how to interact with others based around ideas she got from old story books. Her genius is also very rarely displayed as she takes embarrassment showing it. She would much prefer to stay quiet and pretend to be learning entirely new concepts rather then admit she already knew them in order to try to make friends. The bags under her eyes are as a result of her personality flaw of always giving everything 100% effort to the point of sleeplessness and the things she has come to understand at her age resulting in the dead-eye look.

She dislikes the mages association mostly as a result of the fact that as a result of the sealing designation placed on her families name she cannot live a normal life or interact with people in one area for too long because of the enforcers that would be dispatched. Still She hopes one day she can just relax and make tonnes of friends! mages or otherwise.
Skills:
Hereditary Genius: A member of the proud Chiaroscuros family that is a long-line of thinkers and polymaths, the latest in the family line is no different, possessing the intellect required to wield their complex and unique mage craft. However she also inherent the weak constitution of body a blight that has cursed the family for generations. No matter how sharp their mind is and how powerful their circuits, their bodies are damnably frail.

Bounded Field Expert : She is an expert on bounded fields, both in finding where they are and in how they operate. Its important she has such a through knowledge due to the way her magecraft works.

Teatime: Shes really good at hosting tea parties and brewing tea. Would you like a cup of some? Sometimes it helps to ease the body after a long hard day of work.

Abilities:

Magecraft

Layered Space - A complex bounded-field type magecraft that imposes the concept of non-euclidean geometry upon an area of designation. Layered Space is a incredibly complex Magecraft requiring an incredible number of calculations to be performed in order to prevent the collapse of the bounded field. Within the bounded space the geometry of the area is under the control of the magus that established the field. The Main caveat of the field is 'compression' or the ability to compress two points in space. The example of this is a manhole to the sewers, opening up into a labyrinth when you travel up through it. But traveling into the sewers when you travel down it. That is the power of non-euclidean applications Similarly it allows the seemless compression of space. Effectively allowing multiple things to occupy a single area or impossible means of travel to be ascertained. "Traveling upwards down a hill." Layered space effectively gives the Magus complete control over the geometry of an space. The more complex the geometry, the more thought processing is required. The family boasts of it as a "incredible defense and utility tool"

Memory Partition - A magecraft commonly used by the Alchemists of Atlus, co-opt by the family for the need to perform an incredible number of calculations for Layered Space. Tara can manage up to six partitions.

Thought Acceleration - The other magecraft commonly used by the Alchemists of Atlus and similarly co-opted in order to increase the speed at which the incredibly complex calculations for Layered Space can be performed with. Turning what used to be an incredibly slow and laborious task into something to be feared.

Texture Establishment - Through the use of a Mystic Code resembling Menger Sponge, allows the establishment of a texture atop of the world that allows for the seamless deployment of bounded fields as long as the caster has the Mana in which to deploy them allowing the application of Layered Space in Combat.

Brief Backstory: A family with a history caked with controversy, but that is for the most part wholly unimportant for the nature of this war. The only importance is what lead to Tara joining. The Family wishs to find the 'hypothetical' formula for an impossible shape or "A shape which should not exist" creating a formula to find this 'impossible' shape would be impossible for the human mind. Thus the use of a wishmaking device to reach the computational output required to produce the formula was considered. Thus the little heiress to the controversial family's name was sent out to participate in this great grail war.
Faction: dependent on servant

[Anza]

• Name: Clarissa Lafaille Delaforte
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "It has to be cute, or it's no good..."
• Personality: A very dangerous person. Her ability as a Magus may be top-class, but... Her mind has been overtaken by the ideas of 'cuteness' and 'cute things,' so she views other individuals as nothing more than pretty dolls to be dressed up and appreciated. Someone's nature or personality is irrelevant; her behavior towards others is entirely based upon their appearance. If an individual is deemed cute, then she will sweetly dote upon them; if they are deemed un-cute or ugly then she will ignore them or even lash out in a sudden rage. Her body language and manner of speaking may make her seem gentle or even vulnerable at times, but this is only her way of trying to appear cute, and not a reflection of her inner personality. No matter what, one should always be wary of her, or one may end up being dressed in all kinds of weird costumes and forced to say embarrassing lines... Truly, she is the absolute worst!
• Skills:
  - Tailor: She loves clothing, and has studied it in all its various forms. Though the process itself is normally accomplished through magecraft, she possesses the knowledge to recreate almost any form of apparel, from the elegant to the downright adorable. She can even design custom outfits specifically fit to an individual, so long as she knows their proportions.
  - Makeover artist: An expert in the various facets of physical beauty. Whether it's diet, cosmetics, hair styling, hygiene, fashion, or even things like one's posture and gait, she'll always have plenty of suggestions for anyone who wants to look cute.
  - Vocal talent: Her voice has a wide range, and she can sound nearly however she likes with a little effort. She is also an excellent singer. This talent even extends beyond human speech: she can imitate animals such as birds and cats with impressive accuracy.
• Abilities:
  Her magecraft is mainly based around Transmutation and the manipulation of physical matter. Specifically, she can channel her mana through threads and fabrics to take control of them, allowing her to rapidly weave, unravel, or remodel items of clothing. The strength of this control isn't very high (she can cause someone's clothing to constrict around them, but it would not be enough to break their bones), but her precision is excellent, surpassing even talented tailors using modern equipment.
  Her true ability, however, is making wearable Mystic Codes. By incorporating certain materials into her creations, she can turn any item of clothing into a magical tool, giving it minor magical properties or even tuning it to resonate with the wearer's magic circuits and respond to the movement of their mana, enhancing their physical attributes and drawing on energy stored within the clothing itself to improve the effects of their magecraft. Her best works (according to Clarissa herself) are her 'transforming' outfits, which look like ordinary clothing but will automatically unravel and restructure themselves into a combat-ready (and extremely cute) ensemble at the wearer's command. Due to her family's long history and extensive specialization, Clarissa can design and create such Codes with unusual speed, though she remains limited by material supplies.
  Her own clothing is a particularly powerful variant on this model, possessing several 'forms' that grant her different enhancements. Some of the combat-capable variations put her on par with a Grand-ranked mage in terms of raw power, though without the skill and finesse to match.
• Brief Backstory:
  Even though Clarissa's family is old and wealthy and should be well-respected among mages, they have a bad reputation floating about them, being called things like 'eccentrics,' 'frivolous aesthetes,' or even 'degenerates that can't even be called human anymore.' Somewhere along the line, this clan's goal had changed from finding the Root to achieving the ultimate beauty of the human form. They are obsessed one and all with things such clothing and style and accessories, and even some degree of body modification. As the heir of this distorted family's Magic Crest, there is no doubt that Clarissa must be one of the worst among them.
  Though ostracized for the most part by the Mage's Association, their financial assets and skill in creating Mystic Codes mean they still have many contacts within the Clock Tower, through which they caught wind of the ritual in Japan. Though not directly invited, a certain mage who was supposed to be one of the Red Masters ended up disappearing under suspicious circumstances at the last minute, with Clarissa quite suddenly appearing to claim his spot.
  Nobody knows for certain what her wish for the Grail might be, only that it is probably very bad and that the Grail must absolutely be kept away from her.

[Heavy Snark]

The guy with more sheets than even Simo Haya

Hou Yi

Name: Hou Yi, Slayer of the Nine Suns, Bowman of the Heavens
Class: Archer
Appearance: "Mine are the arrows that shall fell the sun!"

Personality: Easygoing and straightforward. Charming and honest. His greatest assets are his confidence in his own decisions and his courage in the face of adversity. A serene appearance that betrays a heart bursting with feelings. Archer goes about his life with a boyish heart, a taste for dramatic flair, and an unshakeable hope for meeting again a certain person…

He is easily impressed and just as easily amused. He is also a natural airhead, incapable of understanding subtleties when communicating with someone else, mostly taking things at face value. (He broke many hearts by just being himself, but obliviously kept going.) He admires heroes of justice and people who stood against the world for their ideals, broken as they were; for him, these are the bravest souls. The owner of a deep spiritual core, he offers respect and prays to all the departed souls, no matter their side in a War. All lives deserve the cycle of birth and rebirth, and all lives deserve to be mourned.

――He is also the one person always urging his Master to get a parasol, for the UV-rays in this time of the year are just brutal on your skin.

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

Class Skills:

Independent Action - B

As a Servant, he can stay in the world for two days without the support of a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by conserving mana and avoiding battle.

It looks like his original parameter was supposed to be C, but thanks to his personal Skill Affection of the Moon, he somehow got a rank up. One explanation can be that, by being the owner of an unshakeable faith that he is favored by the moon, he can actually survive quite longer when it is dark in a sort of Placebo-effect phenomenon.

Magic Resistance - C+

Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. He has a remarkable resistance to Chinese-related Witchcraft.

Personal Skills:

Affections of the Moon - A

Hou Yi is blessed by the light of the Moon, the only connection he has to his beloved Chang'e. Once per night, if Archer were to take a lethal or even fatal blow, Chang'e shall bless her husband with her divine fortune. Upon this activation, Archer must make a "luck check"; if it succeeds, the attack will fail regardless of circumstances or properties of the attack. Not only this, but events will change in such a way that it will allow Archer to make a single action before his opponent can retaliate, essentially giving him a "free action".

The chance of success is heavily dependent on the eight phases of the moon; upon the New Moon, the chance is extremely low. During each successive phase, the chance of the Skill activating grows more and more until the Full Moon, where activation is guaranteed. However, each successive phase after the Full Moon causes the chance to rapidly fall until the New Moon, where it resets entirely.

Divinity - D-

Due to his original status as a god, Hou Yi has access to natural Divinity. However, due to his banishment at the hands of the Jade Emperor, the Parameters for this Skill have dramatically decreased.

Clairvoyance - B+

Hou Yi had honed his senses to a tremendous degree, as shown by his feats against the many demons he does throughout his travels as well as his feats as a god. Archer has the capacity to see through illusions as well as in areas without light. Just as the gods see the world from their perch on the Heavens, Archer is also able to see from a bird's eye view above the battlefield, giving him nigh-unparalleled spotting ability.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: Gifted Gale: Pouch of Travelling Winds
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit (Self), Anti-Unit
Effects: Gifted Gale is the power Hou Yi once demonstrated while still mortal. Due to his victory against the Count of the Winds, he was given a bag of winds that is worn on his waist. In life it allowed the warrior to travel across the land in search of the fearsome demons to vanquish. When activated, Hou Yi opens the bag, allowing a massive gale wind to fire out. Once the winds have calmed after a moment, Archer gains control over the air in the surrounding environment, allowing him to control it to an extreme degree. He can use this to soar about in the air freely and extremely quickly, allowing him to rarely touch the earth if need be. His usage extends over multiple forms of flight from levitating to utterly defying gravity and using the wind as a physical structure to grasp. He can also utilize the wind in combat, sending out gale winds and cyclones to strike Masters and strike at Servants, manipulating air currents to redirect ranged attacks or simply as a way to move himself and his Master if they need to preposition or even retreat.

Name: Jinwu - Punishment of Nine Fallen Suns
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Effects: The crystallization of You Yi's greatest achievement, Jinwu is Archer's most powerful technique. Upon activation, Archer fires an arrow into the sky, targeting a point in the heavens above the battlefield. Upon the point, the act of felling a sun is re-created; the death wails of a sun-bird act as the warning cry as one of nine suns falls from the Heavens and onto the earth, engulfing the battlefield in a surge of incinerating sun-fire.

Just as the act of felling the suns was that of punishment for defying the will of the Jade Emperor, the arrows themselves as well as the flames created by the sun's fall carry the property of [Divine Punishment]; those who have committed an act of defiance or rebellion against the gods shall find themselves swiftly slain by both the arrows and the flames, their bodies pierced or burnt to ash.

Despite its power, there is one caveat to this ability; as there were only nine suns that were slain in his legend, Archer can only cause nine suns to fall onto the earth. Due to this, Archer can only use this Noble Phantasm nine times in total.

Alignment: Red Faction

[KoL]

"I knew it was going to end like that some day. It may be a sad story, but I don't think it was a waste."

Class: Saber

True Name: Olivier de Vienne「Knight of the Olive Branch」

Alignment: Lawful Good

Bio: Saber is one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne, a group of heroes often compared to the Knights of the Round Table in both fame and feats.

In life, she was said to be Roland's foil: equal in every aspect but having an opposite personality. While Roland sailed in the winds of passion like a ship with no rudder, Olivier was firm and shone like a lighthouse of reason, always guiding others back to safety.

In other words, she is a dependable "big sister type" who was the only sane person in the Holy Emperor's loony court.

Nevertheless, she had many exasperating adventures both beside Roland and the other Paladins, as well as on her own. Between facilitating the reform of the giant warrior Fierabras, helping Roland recover his lost sanity, all the way up to their last battle in Roncevaux, it's safe to say that Olivier never had a dull day during the time she spent in Charlemagne's court.

Parameters:
Strength: B+
Endurance: A
Agility: B
Mana: B
Luck: C
Noble Phantasm: B+

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

Riding B: Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in, for they are no exception. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.

Personal Skills:
Battle Continuation B: Olivier has an iron determination, never giving up no matter what. Furthermore, even after being stabbed in the back with a spear, she was able to deliver a fatal blow to her killer before breathing her last.

Calm and Collected B: Provides a bonus to mental resistance, especially against confusion and impatience. Even if she takes on hundreds or thousands of enemy soldiers, Saber will never be bewildered. Additionally, this skill also qualifies Saber to be a superb maid.

"Dealing with Roland's temper and being the only person in Charlie's court who thought things through before acting was hard."

Knight of the Olive Branch A: The olive tree is associated with wisdom ever since Antiquity. In addition, its branches are a traditional symbol of peace, traditionally offered to the other side to signify a truce request.

In practice, this skill works like the Proof of Friendship skill, but since Olivier can actually gift others with olive branches, it's effect is such that she can get even the most maddened Berserker, and even those who have the Mental Pollution skill, to sit down and talk at least for a moment.

Noble Phantasm:
Name: Hauteclaire「Brilliant Blade of the the Fragrant Olive Tree」
Rank: B+
Type: Anti Army
Appearance: A beautiful golden sword.
Effects: Olivier's sword which holds the power of sacred olive tree, venerated as a gift from the gods to mankind ever since Ancient Greece.

It can absorbs sunlight and magical energy to grow in power much like a tree being nourished by the bountiful Earth Mother and the Sun's gifts. The stored power can be released in many ways such as: a beam, cause olive trees to burst from the ground, potentially restraining others with their branches and roots, providing cover, etc.

Extra: Born as Aude, Roland's betrothed who got forgotten in favor of the bewitching Angelica.

After hearing about Bradamante's adventures in search of her (constantly kidnapped) beloved Ruggiero and becoming infatuated with the gallantry of the other girl's actions, she begged her uncle to allow her to join the Holy Emperor's court. He accepted her request under the condition that would have to prove her worth by defeating Charlemagne's chosen champion in a duel.

After renaming herself Olivier, she claimed the mantle of Knight of the Olive Branch, fought Roland to a standstill and, eventually got everything she could ever wish for. Pursuing the love of a dense man was hard, but Olivier never regretted doing it. Even though Roland never seemed to notice her efforts, her days were plentiful just by being beside him and the others.

"It certainly vexed me. How could anyone be so dense? Perhaps, was it because he was so oblivious that I couldn't help but want to be by his side? Or maybe, was it I who was too coward to say what I really felt like?"

[Cu Chulainn]

Finn Shot (Thunder)

• Name: Kullervo, Vengeful Son of Evil
• Class: Berserker Avenger
• Appearance: All that talk about justice, and here I am... Just another killer...
• Personality: The embodiment of hatred taking the shape of an all-consuming storm. A wicked child who was never given the chance to truly grow, Kullervo acts purely on his own impulses, doing what he believes is right and ignoring those around him. Being summoned as an Avenger has only warped Kullervo's mentality further, going so far as to destroy anyone who would dare spite him. Despite this, reasoning can be reached with his Master, especially if they share the same pain he had endured in his life: The pain of abuse and abandonment, to be torn from his family and sold off as a slave, and to have every semblance of his life taken from him. To those who are familiar with this abuse, Kullervo would sympathize with, taking on their burdens and allowing them to fuel the ever-raging tempest stirring deep within his heart, where naught but an overwhelming desire for vengeance remains. Kullervo knows that his very existence is painted with the misery of his people and that he must carry that burden even in the Throne of Heroes. Rather than changing that fate, his wish is to ensure that no child should carry the same burden.
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: B
  • Agility: C
  • Mana: A
  • Luck: -
  • Noble Phantasm: B
• Class Skills:
  • Avenger: B+. Signature class skill of the Avenger class, denoting one's state of being that gathers the hatred and resentment of others onto one's self. In other words, the very way of living as an Avenger. Not only is it easy for negative emotions to be drawn towards Kullervo, but he is empowered by them. The grudges of those around him only serve as fuel for Kullervo's tempestuous rage, that resentment automatically converted to both strength and energy. Gathering grudges is exceptionally easy due to Kullervo being a "living curse".
  • Memory Correction: B. Class skill of the Avenger class. Humans, as living things, are forgetful of many things, but an Avenger never forgets. Consumed with a rage for the vast misfortunes both he and his tribe have suffered, Kullervo's hatred will never falter. An endless storm rages through Kullervo's heart. It’s this unending torrent that caused him to abandon and even curse his own family in his desire to obtain revenge. By attacking from beyond the memories of his opponents (and because he also carries the memories of his tribe), critical effects are strengthened
  • Self-Replenishment (Mana): -. Class skill of the Avenger class. Until one's revenge is complete, magical energy is endlessly replenished. However, this skill has been sublimated into The Vengeful Storm That Rages Endlessly due to Kullervo's form of mana replenishment going above and beyond the limits of this skill.
• Personal Skills:
  • Witchcraft (Wild): B-. Signifies one as a practitioner of the black arts. Kullervo was noted to have an incredible talent with sorcery and alongside the nature of his body containing numerous grudges, he would truly be a first-class genius at the art if not for his ill-fated life. Instead, Kullervo impulsively wields a vast assortment of curses and other dark magics as a weapon against all those who would spite him. However, because he wildly casts spells due to his anger, the expected outcomes are more varied and the effects are much harder to control.
  • Madness of the Spirits: A. The maddening howls of Kullervo, a child born from the countless grudges of the murdered tribe of Kalervo, scour the Earth, causing the spirits sleeping from within to stir and crush the will of all opposition. A mental interference effect that temporarily decreases the STR and AGI of his opponents, Kullervo's screams carry the collective weight of his entire tribe's rage and anguish.
  • Prana Burst (Lightning): C+. Magical energy is infused with the element of Lightning, surging from one's weapons and body. A skill that combines Kullervo's internal magical energy along with the properties of his Noble Phantasm, Ukonvasara. Summoned as an Avenger, blackened lightning overflows from Kullervo's body, enhanced and made stronger by the resentment accumulated within him, bestowing this lightning with a grudge effect and further darkening it similarly to the black flames of a certain other Avenger. Eternally, Kullervo is covered in a furious tempest that grows along with his anger, protecting him in an armor of cursed lightning that also serves as a manifestation of his all-consuming desire for vengeance.
  • The Vengeful Storm That Rages Endlessly: A. A mutation of the Galvanism skill made by synchronizing his Noble Phantasm with his existence as an Avenger. Rather than stray magical energy, negative emotions and even curses are instead converted into electricity used to further fuel his quest for vengeance. The grudge-filled electricity paints Kullervo's mana, darkening his magical energy. Because of his state as an Avenger, who is constantly filled with negative emotions, this skill constantly fuels Kullervo like a Perpetual Motion Engine, allowing him to survive even spiritual core damage momentarily so long as he remains sufficiently angry. So long as the storm within his heart continues to rage on, not even the World can end his existence.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name:Ukonvasara, Blood-Thirsting Thunderbolt of the Sky God
  • Rank: C ~ A+
  • Type: Anti-Army
  • Appearance: Literally Stormbringer.
  • Effects:The magical broadsword given to Kullervo by the High God Ukko, Sky Father of the Finns. A "sentient" sword that can move and attack on its own commanded easily by its wielder's will, its main ability is to grant its wielder the destructive power of Ukko, the blade itself containing the High God's lightning. However, it seems as if this power has been severely weakened due to not being summoned under the Saber class, losing the ability to launch direct bolts of lightning. Instead, Kullervo has directed Ukonvasara's power internally through the use of his witchcraft, granting him the Prana Burst (Lightning) skill and essentially serving as a glorified lightning rod.
    Because Kullervo's body is filled with grudges, the lightning borne from the blade is also strengthened with these negative emotions, resulting in a peculiar effect that allows the blade to transcend its standard rank as a Noble Phantasm. By invoking the blade's True Name and striking it into the ground like a thunderbolt, the tempest of hatred held within Kullervo is brought outward all around him, resulting in a destructive maelstrom that scales in conjunction with Kullervo's accumulated grudges. If sufficiently powered, this storm has enough destructive power to raze an entire forest or wipe an entire village off the map, permanently scouring the Earth with Kullervo's hatred. The very ground struck by this maelstrom is made barren, incapable of producing life or gathering magical energy for quite some time.
    Interestingly, the sword is also capable of speech. However, the personality of the sword has been significantly warped into that of a blood-starved murderer due to holding the countless grudges contained within its wielder. Even the blood of Kullervo's allies or even the wielder himself would satisfy the sword's blood lust. A terrible conversation partner, but otherwise loyal to whoever wields it. A sword is made to be a tool used for killing, after all.
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Changes: Essentially, Kullervo is the same as he was depicted in the Kalevala with one important denotation that he is made up of the tribe of Kalervo’s negative emotions. A “living curse” of his tribe whose sole existence is to bring justice to the slaughtered. Most of the abilities standard of a living curse (such as eating curses of lesser mystery, serving as the perfect mats for witchcraft, etc.) have already been noted in his skills.

[KoL]

Name: Shelk L. Feldinan

Age: 19, though she looks to be a couple years younger

Gender: Female

Faction: TBD

Bio: Shelk is the heiress of a traditional family of astrologers whose recorded history dates back to the Pre-Islamic Middle East, from where they migrated to their current homeland at the mountains of Northern Spain more than a thousand years ago. It's safe to say that Shelk lived a rather normal life by the standards of any magus, being concerned first and foremost with inheriting her family's legacy while doing her best to balance that with a regular life.

She likes romances, especially knightly romances be them fictional or based on harder historical facts. Because of her tastes, way of dressing as a "modern days knight", actually noble bloodline, and—more importantly—her flashy, yet gallant attitude, Shelk usually gets called a prince by some of the people closest to her.

Recently, she moved to London, to take lessons in the Clock Tower which was also how she got to know about the Holy Grail War and find her way into one.

Skills: As natural for a mage that deals in astromancy, Shelk is skilled in mathematics, astronomy, and physics, along with other related topics like clockwork, etc. She has an interest in modern computers and their possible potential when integrated with magecraft, but hasn't managed to work on her theories regarding this. Furthermore, she's very good at household chores such as cooking and cleaning, mostly because she has been living alone a year or so giving her plenty of time to practice.

Abilities: Shelk is an accomplished Astromancer, knowledgeable in the practice of numerology, metalworking, and conversion of magical energy. However, Shelk's most impressive attribute is being the bearer of her family's Finality—their Magnum Opus—Aster Astrolabe, a "probability control" Bounded Field that encroaches so much upon the world that it's just a few steps shy of being a Reality Marble. The Bounded Field doesn't need to be fully deployed for Shelk to make use of its powers, but the more she unleashes, the stronger it'll be. Its default, passive state, Aster Astrolabe provides a sharp increase in luck and resistance to curses. At its maximum output, it might even be possible to influence the result of a battle between beings on the level of Dead Apostles and Servants, if it's used strategically.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

• Name: Astrid Kim
• Age: 28
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "I'm aware that I look a little young, but that does not change much of anything. I would recommend you not underestimate me."
• Personality: Given her lineage, one might expect Astrid to be constantly seeking for battle, but that is far from the case; her job as an Enforcer means that regularly killing and disarming problematic magi has become second nature, but doing so is only a job and no more. She is polite and professional, even outside of her job, but her guise slackens when among friends and allies, and she becomes a bit more playful (though still somewhat stoic) when around them. To enemies, though, Astrid shows no hesitation nor remorse in cutting someone down, be it verbally or physically. As she does have the morals of a modern era human, the latter is less oft used, but as an Enforcer, sometimes the taking of a life is all but necessary. That being said, Astrid herself does not share the Valkyries' perogative to bring souls to Valhalla, as Ragnarok has already long since passed for her. A life of peace would be ideal, of course, but even she acknowledges that there must be sacrifices to achieve that much in the first place.
• Skills: Astrid is well-versed in the nuances of spearplay and taekwondo, having been instructed in both from a young age by both of her parents, and even without the influence of any sort of magecraft, she is able to strike, defend, and counterattack far faster than the average human is able to. Aside from combat, though, Astrid is versed in multiple languages (English, Danish, Hangul, Mandarin, and Japanese) and is fluent in each of them. Besides that, though, she can sing—quite well, in fact, though that is something more reserved for the karaoke room.
• Abilities: As the child of a Valkyrie and a human, Astrid has inherited qualities from the former that would make even some modern magi balk at the mere possibility of her existence. First among them, of course, are her 'wings'—while they do not appear on her person on a day to day basis, Astrid can summon her own at will and use them to fly about. These may only last a limited amount of time per day (an hour or two on average), but consume no mana to use and may regenerate otherwise. While they are active, Astrid's eyes turn red, calling towards her own heritage.
  Beyond that, though, Astrid has knowledge of primeval runes and how to activate them. The runes themselves are rather multipurpose, able to stun, disarm, defend, or attack depending on the situation; the downside, of course, is that she must prepare any that she wishes to use well in advance of any fights. In addition to that, Astrid also has a copy of her mother's own weapon, however degraded it may be from the original, that mimics the original functions thus.
• Brief Backstory: The child of a Korean soldier and a Valkyrie that wandered the Earth long past the Age of Gods, Astrid was brought up in a very militant household. Though not as warlike as her mother might have hoped, the half-valkyrie still showed considerable physical prowess, likely in part due to her own heritage, and thus was put through a rigorous training regimen from a young age. Despite her own quiet personality, though, Astrid never shirked from either classes or training, regardless of what little time it left her for anything else.
  The presence of the Church in South Korea, however, meant that those studies be put to waste. To that end, Astrid's mother, having pulled some strings during her own time wandering the land, managed to place the young woman in contact with another Enforcer from the Mage's Association rather than end up anywhere near the Church. In a way, she was a natural fit for the job; being able to smoke out her designated targets and execute them with relative impunity led to her being assigned more and more targets, and eventually her reputation began to precede her.
  The sudden appearance of a call to arms by her superior and a set of Command Seals on the back of her hand, though, had set her life on a direct course to Mifune City. To her, this was simply another job, but...
• Faction: Red

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Shinonome Akira
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "And so, the truth is...!" She is quite short, and sometimes mistaken for a girlish boy.
• Personality: A no-nonsense and serious girl. There's no doubt that Shinonome Akira's pursuit of her duty is one of the primary objectives in her mind at any given time, and thus she has low tolerance for any mischief-making or similar pursuits, if they interfere with the current objective she has in mind. She is quick to become irritated with such distractions, but does herself have something of a sarcastic disposition in spite of her no-nonsense demeanor. Akira's tendency to make sarcastic comments towards others is not exactly restrained, either. While she is quite patient when it comes to discerning the facts of a given situation, this patience is largely much more thin when involving other human beings. She also has a high degree of confidence in her capabilties. She is actually rather easily embarrassed, in spite of her self-confidence, and becomes incredibly flustered when wearing feminine clothing. Even if being mistaken for a girlish boy also irritates her.
• Skills: Excellent at deductive reasoning, and also has some training in hand-to-hand, utilizing her small size. Never ask her to cook.
• Abilities: A magus with a middling amount of magic circuits that are of above average quality. Her elemental affinity is Fire, and thus it is only natural that most of her magecraft is related to fire or destruction, though this does not encompass all of what she can do. While she can generate blasts of fire and ignite targets, her preferred method of offensive and defense is through the used of her mystic code, Salamandra. A pair of black gloves, Salamandra directly utilizes Akira's mana when she snaps her fingers, automatically producing arcs of flame, balls of fire, igniting a target if she has perfect line of sight, or coating the gloves themselves in fire. Combined with reinforcing the muscles in her arms, the final function allows her to strike hard enough for her fist to penetrate a target and then release the flames in an explosive reaction.
• Brief Backstory: The Shinonome family has maintained close ties to the Association for a considerable amount of time. While they are not considered to be something like an enforcer, scions of the Shinonome family have worked as something of special investigators under the employ of the Association. Primarily they do so out of Japan, but in the past they have travelled to other countries in order to perform their investigations. Akira is no exception, though she has not yet traveled the the association for formal education herself. As her family currently lives in Mifune, it is no surprise that they were contacted to send a representative to confront the Ainsworth family.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

A Master

• Name: Erika Maidandora
• Age: 21
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Checking out prospective new maids. Notably, her eyes are a bright orange, but her glasses obfuscate this, opting to have them appear blue or green instead.

• Personality:
  Brimming with confidence and not at all shy about her desires, Erika can come off as a tad condescending, conceited and arrogant. Seemingly under the impression that the world revolves around herself, Erika fears no misfortune, believing that the universe will conspire to make things right for her sooner or later anyway. Despite her obligations as a mage, Erika is more than happy to ignore her research for a time and ceaselessly flirt or tease women. Or employ them as maids. What others may find eccentric about Erika is her habit of employing far more maids than she really needs. Whether it be for wages or scholarship, she will provide whatever the prospective servant needs. Additionally, she has something of a softer side that she is unlikely to acknowledge, using her status to “rescue” certain girls from rather poor situations.
  
  Given her self-confidence and assurance of her ability, she rarely acknowledges others as being her equal. Though she may not mean any offence when she asserts herself as the 'most qualified' in the room, she seems oblivious to just how such a sentiment can sound to everyone else. That said, she is more than willing to prove her statements correct when necessary. Difficult to anger, with an ever-present smirk on her face, Erika seems almost infallible no matter the situation. Up until you remove her glasses, at least. Suddenly you have the meekest bundle of magic circuits to ever exist.

• Skills: In spite of her high status, or perhaps because of it, Erika possesses little in the way of practical skills. However, she is incredibly well-read and has a deep knowledge of history. Additionally, she is excellent at reading people and needling their weaknesses, making her adept at political maneuvering.

• Abilities: As a magus, Erika is possessed of numerous high-quality magic circuits. But her chief asset is her capability as an Average One. Possessing an affinity for all five of the classic elements, Erika’s breadth of magecraft capability is considerable. Commonly utilized spells include forming “bullets” from fire,water, or air, or utilizing bounded fields that automatically use an elemental attack upon the entrance of an unrecognized person. She is also very adept with magecraft that confuses the mind.
  
  Mystic Eyes of Madness Inducement: Direct eye contact will interfere with one's rational thought, the severity depending on the target's ability to resist mental interference. Her Eyes are always active, and given her disdain for the power in general, she uses a Mystic Code to block them; a pair of glasses that can also make her eye colour look any way she wishes to others.

• Brief Backstory:
  A gifted magus from Britain, Erika displayed immense talent from a young age with magecraft, far beyond her parents and grandparents ever had. Although her Mystic Eyes had been active since birth, they did not cause any notable effects until she was about six years old, and are the only aspect of herself she has come to dislike. Like most magi, she's spent long days and nights studying fervently to carry on the family's magic, especially with her blooming talents.
  
  Considered something of an eccentric due to her seeming obsession with her maids, while many of them have more humble origins, some of her more unique servants have been recruited from poor situations. A mixed blood girl rescued from experimentation, a young magus from a family that had been destroyed by feuds, and many other such girls have been given a place to stay under the guise of employment as servants. Her habit of using her high status to intervene in the affairs of other families has earned some level of scorn from other magi, but it is difficult for them to attempt to take revenge due to her position as nobility. Perhaps it is due to her talent, or perhaps it is due to someone hoping she would perish, that her family was contacted to send a representative against the Ainsworths…
  
  Due to a past contract with another family, the Maidandora have frequently employed the scion of that family as a bodyguard. Due to Erika’s obsession, their daughter is employed as a maid...

Apologies for the Google Translated Vietnamese

• Name: Trieu Thi Trinh
• Class: Rider
• Appearance: Thank you Vita. Standing at over six feet tall, with jet-black hair and bright, green eyes. Her armour and tunic tend towards yellow and gold colouring. She also happens to bear a passing resemblance to Jeanne D'arc, coincidentally.

• Personality:
  A proud, fierce and rowdy young woman with a love for battle and a thirst for adventure, Trieu is a generally confident and upbeat fighter that fights for the weak and oppressed, and also to satisfy her desire to defeat the strongest of foes. With limitless confidence in her abilities, Lady Trieu is practically unflappable, seeing even insurmountable opposition as a mere challenge.
  
  Trieu can generally get along with most people, and is quick to adopt just about anyone as a drinking buddy/sparring partner. She also sees it as her duty to protect her allies, especially if they're weaker. Or, perhaps more arrogantly, whom she depicts as too weak to defend themselves. Although well-meaning, she can tend towards overestimating her ability and overlooking critical intel, especially if she's on a bit of a winning streak. While somewhat aware of her bad habit, Trieu has done little to try and improve this aspect of herself. It's hard to think of ways to better yourself when there's always a good scrap around the corner!

• Stats:
  
  
  
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: C
  • Agility: C
  • Mana: E
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm: A

• Class Skills:
  Riding: A+ - All vehicles and all creatures up to the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.
  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:
  Charisma: C – As a valiant fighter against the Chinese military, Trieu became a symbol of victory in battle, making her both an attractive ally, and tempting target in battle.
  Military Tactics: C+ - Gains a bonus when battling in Jungle environments.
  Momentum of Victory: B – Successive victories in battle will give plus-modifiers to a random Rank (minus Luck), at the cost of lowering her Luck. Once Trieu suffers a defeat in battle, her stats reset to base parameters.

• Noble Phantasm(s):
• Name: Tháng ba của người dân - Resounding Charge to Victory
• Rank: A
• Type: Anti-Army/Anti-Fortress
• Appearance: A massive elephant with an armoured trunk and tusks as sharp as blades. While shockingly agile and monstrously powerful, when used as a normal mount, it is by all appearances a normal war elephant. When the Noble Phantasm is invoked, its appearance becomes a tad more ephemeral, seemingly cloaked in powerful mana.
• Effects: With boosted power, the elephant is much tougher to take on in a fight, but the main reason for this form is to unleash destructive power in one go: The mana-laden tusks essentially become cannons that fire powerful magical blasts intended to take down strongholds. After taking some time to charge, the elephant fires beams of mana at the target, but must be dismissed immediately afterward, leaving it unusable for a certain amount of time.

• Name: Hy vọng của mọi người – Those Who Sought Freedom
• Rank: C
• Type: Anti-Unit
• Appearance: N/A
• Effects: The manifestation of Trieu's influence in life. So charismatic and beloved, she was said to appear in the dreams of those that fought under her. By remembering the struggles of her people, the hopes left to her by her soldiers and allies, Trieu can fight beyond normal limitations for a short time: This Noble Phantasm grants Trieu a temporary boost to her Strength and Endurance, bumping them to A. However, this can only apply if Trieu is in a dire situation; overpowered, outnumbered, or near death. This can only apply once per battle.

• Name: Tinh linh vĩnh cửu của Triều – Fighting Even in Death
• Rank: A
• Type: Anti-Unit
• Appearance: N/A
• Effects: Influential even in death, Trieu's alleged appearances in dreams also manifests as this final technique. Should Trieu fall in battle, she can impart a great boon to a trusted ally: Granting them the Charisma Skill (Rank C) immediately, and each time the targeted Servant falls asleep, will be granting an extra Rank in a random stat, unless it would exceed Rank B. Each Rank can only be increased once.

• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Changes: Bust length reduced for practicality.

[Rin]

"Caster" of Red

• Name: Kitab Al-Azif
• Class: Foreigner
• Appearance:
  
  Grimoire of the Mad Arab

  
• Personality: A smug, haughty and conceited girl who speaks in a somewhat antiquated manner. She is extremely confident in her abilities, boasting that she is the most powerful grimoire in the world and that her understanding of the terrors that lie beyond our reality is second to none; in fact sometimes it might be difficult to tell who is the Master and who is the Servant when she's concerned. However, she notably also has a rather strong sense of self-preservation, and despite her smugness isn't exactly arrogant; if a foe seems like too much for her to take at the time she isn't hesitant to make a tactical withdrawal in order to regroup and plan for a later encounter. Even though she claims to be incredibly old and treats living humans as though they are mere children compared to her, she's actually somewhat immature and will sometimes act in ways that her apparent physical age might imply; notably, she's prone to arguing and bickering with her Master, as well as getting all huffy if things don't go her way.
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: E
  • Endurance: E
  • Agility: E
  • Mana: EX
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm: EX
• Class Skills:
  • Transcendental Existence (B)
• Personal Skills:
  • Book of Dead Names (A): As the original Necronomicon, Al-Azif is both a chronicle of the various outer gods and eldritch horrors that plague our universe and a manual for invoking their powers. Al-Azif is thus able to summon the flames of Cthugha, the freezing winds of Ithaqua, the tentacles of Cthulu, the relentless fangs of the Hounds of Tindalos... For the most part, these invocations take a form similar to high powered magecraft, although if given the appropriate time and resources she will potentially be able to summon something much more substantial.
  • Self-Modification (C)
  • Territory Creation (C)
  • "That Is Not Dead Which Can Eternal Lie..." (EX): Books of dark magic have a tendency to not disappear fully from the world even when seemingly destroyed, and as the most famous book of dark magic the Necronomicon will always seem to find a way to return no matter what is done to it. Because of this, if Al-Azif is killed there is a small chance of her simply returning to life soon afterwards.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Kitab Al-Azif: Dread Grimoire Necronomicon
  • Rank: EX
  • Type: Anti-World
  • Appearance: Also her true form.
  • Effects: The most infamous and most powerful grimoire of black magic in the world, the Kitab Al-Azif is the original Necronomicon penned by the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred. In a sense she herself is a Noble Phantasm, almost like a Reality Marble turned inside-out and made into the image of a young girl; in a way she is similar to the Heroic Spirit Nursery Rhyme, albeit with a more defined existence. Her mere existence is her Noble Phantasm, and she is able to utilize the forbidden knowledge enscribed within her as noted in her "Book of Dead Names" skill. The closest she has to a "true" Noble Phantasm, however, is invoking the most powerful being she is willing to deal with: the Key and the Gate, the All-in-One and One-in-All, the Lurker at the Threshold, Yog-Sothoth. Even then, such is the almost uncontrollable power of Yog-Sothoth that she is only willing to utilize it when there is no other option, and her very existence is at considerable risk whenever she chooses to invoke it. Utilizing its power, Al-Azif creates a rupture in space-time, a great fissure opening into all that is and all that is not, an unimaginable dimension where the fate of all that is caught inside it is unknown... Aside from the fact that it seems to simply cease to exist on this plane of existence. Whether they are destroyed, trapped in a world between worlds or flung to some unknown point in space-time, no-one can tell, and none would wish to find out either.
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Changes: A more heroic take on the Necronomicon written by a slightly more heroic Abdul Alhazred (who wrote the book to catalogue the various eldritch gribblies out there in order to help protect mankind against them). As the Necronomicon is far more famous and has made a bigger mark on history than its author, she probably got accidentally summoned when her Master was trying to summon Alhazred himself; objects can be summoned as Servants after all, although she has taken on a more humonoid form as one. Those familiar with visual novels or super robot anime might find this interpretation of the Necronomicon somewhat familiar, mostly because I will freely admit that she is heavily based on (and in fact outright uses the appearance of) Al Azif from Demonbane, something that I felt like I could get away with because once the super robot trappings are removed she still works pretty well in the Nasuverse and because Type-Moon and Nitroplus have a long history of collaborating on projects.

[Raineh Daze]

• Name: Charname Avilone
• Age: 24
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Beware the quiet ones. The glasses are, in fact, normal glasses… though given the nature of her employment, blocking mystic eyes also became a necessary backup.
• Personality: Charname isn’t a terribly confident person in some regards, particularly not socially, but nor is she excessively shy. In the end, though, she would be happier in the stressful situations that most people avoid, where her skills and upbringing are of more use—rather than having to make conversation over things that simply don’t matter.
  Her opinion on maids is a conflicted one. On the one hand, she likes the look and would join Erika in appreciating them… on the other hand, she very much does not like being dressed as a maid and wishes she could have some more intimidating attire. This might explain why she stands up to her boss where she would silently accept other people.
• Skills: Despite her employment, Charname lacks the abilities of a maid. Cleaning? An excellent way to get something broken or parts overlooked. Cooking? She can determine if your food has been tampered with but not actually cook something herself, in which case poison is the expected result. The real bulk of her skills are hand-to-hand skills, with a particular focus on knives as both useful where magecraft is concerned and simply for dealing with threats, but experience with other weapons as well. Quite unbecoming for a magus, she doesn’t scorn the use of firearms—depending on the situation, quite anything could be of use.
• Abilities: Despite their lack of interest in the conceptual possibilities of magecraft, the Avilone have had through the generations a strong desire to perfect the practical use of such things for their own needs. For instance, their approach towards Bounded Fields is peculiar; rather than focus on grand defences and territory, it is one of “what is most useful on the individual scale”. For instance, what is the distinction between delineating inside and outside on clothing rather than buildings? Even in part, buildings will move, and that within them switch about. A narrow loophole that, through sheer pedantry, allowed for establishing bounded fields on their attire. In Charname’s case, this gives her deep pockets. Very deep pockets; every implement or weapon that she feels might be reasonably useful on her person, at once.
  Her preference for using knives follows a similar route, a brief field established by carving runes is an excellent emergency barrier, or trap. Of course, even the non-bounded field uses are useful… as are rune-based curses like Gandr.
  Given the amount of armament both physical and metaphysical that Charname carries, it should be no surprise that part of her contract—one not even necessarily stated to her owner—includes a particular geas: if she should need to give her life then it will be done, regardless of her possible thoughts on the matter. For this reason, self-sacrificial techniques are also within her abilities.
• Brief Backstory: The Avilone family is one with no interest in reaching the Root, no grand history or lineage to draw on. They are a lineage who took one look at the wealthy, established magus families and came to the conclusion: the best way to prosper is to attach ourselves to them. Thus, for generations the main line has itself provided protection to the Maidandora and trained their heir as such. That which would not be of use in their chosen role and hangers-on to luxury was ignored.
  The demand that she be employed as a maid was quite the insult to Charname’s pride, even if there was no escaping the requirement.

[samakama]

Rider of Black

Name: Martinus Turonensis

Class: Rider

Appearance:

Appearance:

Personality: St Martin of Tours is pretty much exactly what you would expect of a saint. Humble, a master who washes the feet of his attendant. Modest, not hungering for power or fame or wealth. Pious, unflinching in his words and works in service of the Lord. In his lifetime he was known for exceptional mercy, advocating for clemency on behalf of heretics sentenced to death and preaching repentance even to demons and the devil. Despite his past career as a cataphract and a member of the imperial bodyguard, Martin has long since laid down arms, and renounced all war and killing. Even if it were to defend his most beloved companions, he would never raise a finger against one of the Almighty’s children, however far astray they may be. Slow to anger, quick to forgive; his demeanour is seemingly always one of tranquil contentment, or even bliss.

Parameters:

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

Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: A. Demons in various forms, even the devil — all manner of diabolical creatures have tried their wicked arts on him to no avail. Mere magecraft is of no concern.
Riding: C. Despite being most commonly depicted on horseback, Martin only ever served a few short years in the Roman cavalry, and was fortunate enough to never fight a battle during that stint. It has been a while, so he’s gotten a little rusty.
Divinity: C. Venerated both in antiquity and the modern day, particularly in France, and numbered among the most famous saints of the Western church, it is no surprise that Martin possesses some degree of Divinity. The man himself is however vehemently against the very thought of such heresy.

Personal Skills:
Quis Contra Nos: B. Martin was never actually martyred. He did come very close several times, though, and his unwavering conviction in the face of mortal danger is no lesser than those who were ultimately called to Heaven. This mental fortitude makes psychological attacks and tests of his conviction a breeze, and withstanding intense pain an easy task. Mind-affecting attacks of any kind are ineffective.
Fratribus Meis Minimis: A. It was an act of most Christian charity which led the future bishop to salvation, one winter at the gate of Amiens. Whenever and wherever it is possible for him to render assistance to anyone in need, Martin will do so. Be they sinner or saint alike, and regardless of his own circumstances, he will never hesitate to put his neck on the line to provide for the least in society. Through a sort of ‘intuition’ which he calls God-given wisdom, Martin always knows the needs of everyone around him, and the best way to go about helping them. This includes those who are hostile against him, and those who he has yet to meet; even a Servant using Presence Concealment of Rank B or below would be detected.
Pugnare Mihi Non Licet: A. Martin declared himself no longer a soldier of Caesar but of Christ, right in front of the emperor himself. To support his declaration, he was willing to stand at the front of the whole army with neither sword nor shield. There is nothing different about this war. He may protect the weak and tend to the suffering, at the vanguard or in the rear, but nevermore will he take up arms. He will participate in combat should the circumstances compel him to, yet even if his own life were at stake, he will never aim to kill. It would take a Command Spell with a simple and specific order to overcome this. In battle, he will always head for the front lines, and draw the attention of opponents in the process.

Noble Phantasms:
Name: Hic Me Veste Contexit: A Chapel for the Pauper
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Army
Appearance: An intact red chlamys.
Effects: The remainder of the military cloak with which the young cavalryman clothed a beggar at Amiens at the expense of his own modesty. Although there was only one beneficiary in the original legend, this continuously-active Noble Phantasm can be divided into seven parts and shared with up to six targets, with one part for Martin himself. When wearing a part of the cloak, any harm which comes to the wearers will be redirected to Martin. The wearers’ wellbeing is restored gradually, which also has a calming effect. For each additional wearer under his protection, his endurance doubles, offering him exponentially higher defensive capabilities in exchange for bearing the burdens of the vulnerable. Only the wearer can remove their own part of the cloak, which disappears and is restored to Martin’s cloak upon doing so.

Name: Quoniam Tu Mecum Es: I Shall Fear No Evil
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Appearance: N/A
Effects: A Noble Phantasm representing Martin’s propensity to defy death. When he was confronted with pagan assassins and hostile hosts, the Lord repelled their blades and brought a peaceful resolution to the futile fighting. So long as Martin holds true to his beliefs and keeps the faith, no harm will come to him. Any one who intends to hurt him will fail, their attacks either doing no damage or missing entirely. This supernatural protection does not extend to those around him, however, not even his own mount. Damage inflicted upon him through his cloak is not affected by this either.

Name: Loricatos Quos Cataphractos Vocant: The Young Soldier’s Ironclad Stallion
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Appearance: A large pony, 14 hands tall. Its pure white coat is concealed by an all-encompassing set of iron scale armour, which covers it from head to tail. Comes with reins and a four-horned saddle, but no stirrups.
Effects: Martin’s steed throughout his career in the legions, and the one he rode when he divided his cloak. One of the most iconic parts of his saintly depiction, a symbol of charity and the moral duties of a soldier; when ridden, it doubles his strength, agility, and mana. It can be used to charge at and run over opponents. This Noble Phantasm can be destroyed by sufficient firepower, rendering it unusable for a few hours, but its endurance is equivalent to Rank A thanks to its thick and heavy armour. As in life, it can feed off mundane grass and hay alone in place of receiving mana from its rider.

When ridden, it will always protect its rider from harm to the best of its ability unless explicitly commanded otherwise, up to and including intercepting attacks with its body. It can also completely nullify a single attack or short series of attacks even if it would normally be impossible for it to do so, such as one from a Conceptual Weapon, at the cost of being permanently put out of action for the remainder of the War.

Name: Ydola Vana Ruunt: Destroy the False and Heathen
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Appearance: Is it a hammer or an axe? Personally leaning towards the former.
Effects: Legend has it that Martin used this to smash pagan statues and temples. He personally doesn’t recall using this particular tool, whatever it may be, but it’s here anyway. When used to strike a magical object, it can render the object’s magical abilities unusable for a period of time depending on the strength of the object’s magic. A low-quality Mystic Code would be destroyed completely, whereas a B-ranked Noble Phantasm would only be disabled for a few seconds at most, and a C-ranked one for no more than a minute. Anything stronger would be completely unaffected, and Noble Phantasms which are not objects (such as abilities and techniques) will also function normally. If the targeted object’s wielder has sufficiently high Luck, this effect may fail.

Also usable as a normal hammer/axe.

Alignment: Lawful Good
