Yumiko Kawajima

Name: Yumiko Kawajima
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Come on, then~! Standing at a decent 5'7", Yumiko's swapped out her regular shrine maiden-esque garb for more... Contemporary clothes.
Like a T-shirt and jeans, for example. The usual.
Personality: With boundless energy and an eye for the unnatural, Yumiko's not the kind of person to lay low and spy on people. Well, no, that's not really true. She's quite energetic, often times rushing off to drag whoever it is that has her attention for the moment to wherever it is that she so pleases. She isn't really aggressive as much as she is enthusiastic, and most of the time her actions have little to no undertones of malice. In fact, she's kind of amicable to most people that aren't complete jerks.
However, her personal desire for equality has led to a more bitter side of Yumiko to develop, one that knows that the world is flawed and wants to overhaul it as a whole to resolve that issue. To that end, she is as ruthless as they come, so long as she can achieve her goal. Well, so long as she stays as she is now...
Skills: Given that she has to know how water and light reflect and reflect differently under different circumstances, Yumiko has thus learned every facet of light particle-wave duality and their interaction with other surfaces; her illusions are also incredibly lifelike because of her interest in photography, which also led to her bringing along a camera for the trip over. She's quite a good cook (and she has to be, given how inheritance work and all that) and can back a mean punch for any thugs brave enough to cross her path.
Abilities: As a third-generation magus from a branch family, Yumiko's magic circuits are relatively widespread, but her offensive capabilities are incredibly weak as a whole. In fact, she specializes in using paper charms in order to manipulate both water and light to a great extent. She also has the ability to create barriers that can mitigate impacts strong enough to rend a normal man unconscious- or worse. This is limited by the number of charms she has, however; once her supply runs dry, she's basically a sitting duck. The larger the scale of magecraft, the more charms it requires. She cannot stack spells one on top of the other, but she can layer up to two barriers at once.
Brief Backstory: Yumiko comes from a small branch family of magi who have diverged from the old main branch in terms of style and application; though by the definition of lineage they have not inherited the Magic Crest, they HAVE learned the clan's core teachings, and as such have derived their own form of magic from it. Yumiko herself is a third-generation magus, having inherited her abilities from her mother at a young age and has striven to train them ever since. The branch family, however, has been looked upon as nothing by tools by the main family, which Yumiko had hated ever since she was aware of the fact. When the news of a new Grail War met the family's ears, the main branch immediately got to work setting up their designated heir to win them the coveted wish. She, however, had different plans; convincing her parents to send her off in secret under the guise of studying abroad, Yumiko flew to Redrock in hopes of fixing what she thought was flawed with her family as a whole.

Name: Fio Mal-Rai
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance: "Wanna take your chances with me?"
Personality: Fio is a cocky, arrogant young woman with a highly competitive streak and a strong drive to succeed. She ignores anyone telling her that she can't handle something, or that she can't take something on by herself, and judges what she can an can't do by herself rather then relying on the judgement of others. That being said, she is not totally ignorant of the fact that, say, most magi are entirely unable to take on a Servant by themselves. While knowing this limitation irritates her, she is not a fool and will not undertake a challenge she has no chance of winning. And yet, at the same time, she is a fool in the eyes of some, as she will instead try to work herself towards surmounting that obstacle. Even if it is something that most would say is insurmountable. In the eyes of some of her fellow magi at the Clock Tower, this is the behavior of a fool. But a useful fool. Fio has extreme confidence in her ability to take out other magi, and in this case she feels that she has no chance of defeat due to her experience in anti-magus combat. Fio has an aggressive personality and a highly social nature, and she has a high tendency to flirt.
Skills: Fio has a surprisingly high amount of training in hand-to-hand combat. Her skills, coupled with her magecraft, potentially allow her to attack Caster-class Servants in close range due to the latter's low amount of melee combat capabilities and low endurance and Fio's skill as an anti-magus fighter. Also, having learned a recipe from a Japanese corespondent, Fio maintains that she cooks a "mean teriyaki chicken".
Abilities: Fio's affinity is fire. Her number and quality of magic circuits is mid-range, neither particularly high nor particularly low. Her training in hand-to-hand combat combined with her magecraft gives her a brand of combat that hybridizes the techniques of a magus and the techniques of a fighter. Producing bounded fields and other such things for defensive purposes are a natural portion of her skillset as a magus of the Mal-Rai family, but her specializations allow for a more distinct method of battle then previous members of her family. However, no-one can say that Fio utilizes anything but the methods of practiced magus. Fio utilizes reinforcement combined with single to double action spells to pass prana in the form of flames through her hands and feet. This gives her kicks and punches a fiery, or even explosive quality(though adding the shotgun-like explosive quality requires more focus). Her spells are also aptly used in order to penetrate conventional magical defenses, disrupting barriers and in some cases, with enough set up time, bounded fields. While she is not as deadly as the legendary Magus Killer, she is a dangerous foe utilized by the Clock Tower to hunt down rogue elements who threaten the secrecy of magecraft.
Brief Backstory: Fio is the daughter of the Mal-Rai family. Not one of the eldest families, and yet not young enough to earn the scorn of their elders, the Mal-Rai family frequently made use of magecraft that passed prana through their bodies, emitting it as dangerous fireballs or other such hazardous elements. These spells were inherited by Fio when she gained their magic crest, and as she grew she realized the ideal application for such spells was in combination with hand-to-hand combat. She trained in various hand-to-hand techniques throughout her time in high school prior to her trip to London. Her education in the Clock Tower, while dry, was still a wealth of knowledge that she could further apply to her capabilities in order to make herself an efficient close-range magus. Her cocky attitude grew with her age, and many superiors in the Clock Tower at once believed she was a fool and yet that she was a useful fool. For not only had Fio trained herself in hand-to-hand combat, but she was also excelling in disrupting defensive magic. The magecraft that allowed her to do so was a relic of a conflict between the Mal-Rai family and another mage bloodline many years ago. Combined with her combative focus, this lead her naturally to being an anti-magus magus, an individual well-equipped for apprehending, or killing, magi who threatened the secrecy of magecraft. This lead to her employ as an officially sanctioned Magus Hunter. Fio was quite pleased with her position, feeling little more then contempt for those who would expose magecraft and act so haphazardly for their own gain. Her anti-magus capabilities made her a natural choice for the Clock Tower's representative in this new Grail War. After all, who better to defeat enemy Masters then someone specialized in combating them?

If a pair has been decided, please post in the OOC so that I know and can place it in the list.

Master Sheet

Name:
Jonathan Clairmont

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Personality:
Jonathan is a lucid person with little to worry as he is always protected within the confines of his headphones beating into his ears. It keeps him eerily calm at all times which may be a good or bad thing but he doesn't really care much. While having a seemingly lucid personality underneath he's a calculative person who likes to plan things out in his head preferring to take his time if he can or making it on the go. His unseemly appearance makes it strange for any person to think that Jonathan would able to honestly form a strategy instead of not being able to focus on anything. Despite being a strategist he doesn't mind getting his hand dirty despite his limited skill in martial arts and usage of the strangest of weapons that he finds interesting.

Skills:
Jonathan is a person who has a strange preference for his training as he has limited skill in martial arts generally using it to defend himself. Having a strange skillset of being able to use Black Keys as his primary weapon if he ever chooses so, he has no problem in using the keys despite their strange form. Being able to restrain spiritual bodies like Servants to a certain point and other spiritual bodies without much difficulty. Being able to hold 3 at a time on both hands with little difficulty. While not being part of the member of the church he has a weird tenacity and ability to properly uses these Keys as his own weapon after prolong interest and practice with them.

Abilities:
Jonathan's elemental affinity is wind while controlling a high amount of magical circuits. While he controls a large amount of circuit he specializes in using objects as a medium for his spells. His general mediums being the Black Keys, he stores magical energies in them to provide short, weak temporary effects on his opponents when tossed at them as upon contact activates its effects upon contact. He is also capable of creating temporary creating Bounded Fields of varying types by using his Black Keys as a medium to help the process, but they are easily disturbed if these keys are removed being its key weakness. On the other hand, he is still capable of producing bounded field without keys it just takes more time and concentration to do so. His abilities to produce bounded fields are not only specific in a large area, he is capable of doing it to single objects like his Black Keys if he wished to and had time. Outside his magical abilities with his keys, the variety of his spells outside of them are generally ones to support himself or others while lacking in many offensive spells with an exception of one here or there generally

Brief Backstory:
Coming from a relatively unknown family of the Clairmonts, being a relative new one coming in the recent years. Those who do know the Clairmonts are from the church most of the time who ask for the help of the family for the creation of Bounded Fields as Magus who practice them lack the natural skill and experience that they have. It is also said that the 1st generation of the Clairmonts was an Executor skilled in the creation of Bounded Fields and cemented the business that they have with the Church. Jonathan who is the 4th Generation of the family which specializes in Bounded Fields like his family, had their family's crest that have stored all their many types of fields for future generations like Jonathan to use effectively. Being considered the one who has the most potential in the family who will past even the teachings of his family, it is already shown as he was able to create Bounded Fields with mediums at a early age and regular Fields soon after. Training with his family for quite awhile, he learned much and even developed several new unique barriers. His training consisted often on the creation of barriers on items and buildings before having to take them down and sometimes break other barriers set up as obstacles for him. Soon after being well trained in the art, was soon helping out with the church in smaller things helping the creations of the fields around abandoned places that the church wanted to keep an eye on.

Their family was basically supplying things to the other smaller churches around them with Black Keys and other small tasks that they were able to perform. However, Jonathan took interested in the Black Keys that their family were always sending out to other church locations and began using them in interesting ways. Developing a style of creating barriers using these sacraments having interesting effects when doing so. While his family didn't like that he was using the belongings of the church, they were nevertheless impressed that he could use something so strange like the Keys Incorporated into their barriers. However training was becoming routine as his family soon transfer him to the Clock Tower to increase his experience overall skill in magecraft. It wasn't long his family thought that it was not often when a group of magus focused in just bounded fields and when they heard of the new Holy Grail Wars, they instantly wished to see Jonathan despite his wishes to join.

[Raineh Daze]

Name: Bridget Carran

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance

Personality: Cold, methodical, and absolutely against the entire concept of 'wishes' in the first place. As a Master, she holds to the view that her role is support: sustain the Servant, gather information, and avoid having to interact with the others taking part in the war (or people in general). Despite being a born-and-bred magus, she holds no great antipathy for technology; only an idiot would hate a potentially useful tool.

Skills: She's not completely technologically illiterate! That's not to say she's immensely good with it, but Bridget isn't defeated by the mere concept. She's also good at freehand drawing.

Abilities:

• Sorcery Trait: "Bloody Circuits". The Carran family has long existed as something of an oddity: extremely plentiful, good magic circuits... and an ability to utilise magic energy below that of an average magus. The accumulated energy simply melds itself with bodily fluids far more than is normal, leading to their blood containing far more energy than is at all normal. They also have the ability to control their blood once outside their body, which without the appropriate knowledge would only be useful for not bleeding out when they need this level of mana for something.
• Runes: Bridget can be considered something of a master of this type of magecraft, though she can hardly inscribe them as fast as some. Instead, if there's some need for high power or rapid inscription... take a little of her blood, and have that form the required rune on some surface. A momentary action, a spell, and the energy to power it all in one. She prefers to set up more subtle or permanent effects, but in no way shies back from something more destructive... or being able to use them to boost speed for a quick escape.
• General Knowledge: Though not specialised in anything else in particular, both carrying her family's magic crest and an interest in conserving her own blood give Bridget a good understanding of thaumaturgy in general. She also has a surprising knowledge of Formalcraft.
• Elemental Affinity: Earth

Brief Backstory: The heir to an old family, Bridget herself has little involvement with the Mages' Association, church, or too much interest in socialising in general. Her father, on the other hand, cultivated a good deal more relationships and was involved in the fighting preceding the dismantling of the Fuyuki Holy Grail... at least until he died, that was. Having found out that some idiots went and rebuilt the thing, Bridget decided to honour his death by setting out to dismantle the new version.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

• Name: Kishinami Hakuno
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Too much wind.
• Personality:
  A girl that's normally happy-go-lucky and silly, Hakuno is a naturally friendly person with a habit of putting others before herself. Lacking in ambition and desires, all she ever really wanted to do was just live simply and peacefully. Thanks to the turn her life has taken, though, Hakuno is become a bit more reserved and hesitant to open up, even if her selfless nature remains.
  Nowadays, Hakuno is wracked by guilt and fear of her future and actions, especially in the war. Obviously, she doesn't want to die, but can't quite bring herself to get anyone else killed either. Despite her lack of confidence, however, she is someone that will support her allies to her utmost ability.
• Skills:
  Compared to most other mages, Hakuno is not utterly stumped by technology; if anything, she spends more time than necessary playing on handheld consoles, and even has knowledge of how to code programs.
• Abilities:
  Hakuno's lineage specialises in misdirection, masking her presence in a veil of "forgetableness". Instead of rendering herself invisible, she simply registers as a generic and forgetable face, especially in large crowds. Unfortunately, Hakuno's lack of actual skill as a magus means that most people who knew her beforehand can fairly easily shatter this effect.
  To a much lesser extent, Hakuno can cast basic illusion spells. With her low amount of Magic Circuits, she can't manage much more than an image of someone (usually herself), that can hopefully provide a distraction of some sort.
• Brief Backstory:
  Hailing from a moderately wealthy family, Hakuno was growing up to be Mr. and Mrs. Kishinami's favourite l'il failure of a magus that spent her time with useless tech and sucking at magic. At least until a few years ago, when it was discovered that Hakuno was suffering from a strange, extremely rare illness that would erode her memories before killing her. While still in its early stages, and not expected to advance for a few years yet, this is nevertheless a source of worry for Hakuno, and the main reason she's now fighting in this new Holy Grail War: Modern medicine can't help her, but maybe a wish can?

[Medjedovic]

Let's play it on Hard Mode

Name: Jonathan Tobias
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Personality: Jonathan possess a no-nonsense approach to everything related to magic. He is a mercenary for magus families and his life depends on keeping a clear head and sticking to his goals. No playing heroes, no mister nice guy, no mercy; only pure pragmatism while on the clock. You may consider him an asshole because of this, but it doesn't really matter. Everyone else in his world is an asshole, except they have magic too. Keeping your priorities straight and letting go of all things unnecessary when they become too much of a burden for the competition of the mission(and maybe even earlier) is how he survived until now.

Even outside his job Jonathan is a stoic type who rarely reacts strongly to things that happen around him. He is not devoid of emotion, he is just damn good at keeping them in check and not letting them show on his face and in the way he acts. He doesn't have close friends, but he puts up a facade of friendliness and warmth around the people he meets in everyday occurrences, like his neighbours, landowner, cashiers, random people on the street who talk to him. Of course, it is not genuine, and if his job demanded he killed them he wouldn't not hesitate to do so.

Skills: Jonathan possesses great constitution and athletic ability; he could make a good career if he started doing sports professionally. He has a good hand-eye coordination, so he almost never misses his shots. Aside from his naturally high physical stats, he is a good burglar, capable of getting in and out of places you'll think it was magic. He is also a master of free-running. For purpose of battle, he has a decent training in hand-to-hand combat and can expertly handle knives. He is familiar with guns, but prefers to not rely on them due to the noise they make.

Abilities: Jonathan has no supernatural ability whatsoever; neither inborn or trained. Since the early try-outs it was clear to his master that Jonathan's chances of becoming a decent magus was close to zero, so instead of wasting time on learning useless magecraft he focused on physical training. However, Jonathan is not left completely without the aid of magic. The coat he wears gives him presence concealment which prevents people from noticing him or remembering him even if he is in plain sight as long as he doesn't do something that attracts a lot of attention. It also makes him appear blurry on cameras and makes his voice unrecognisable on voice-recorders. The other tool he received from his master was a ten meter long chain with a knife attached to its end. This knife is capable of completely negating minor magics and weaken the effect of stronger ones.

Brief Backstory: Offspring of a magus family but with no talent for magecraft, Jonathan's parents gave him away to an old magus mercenary who was looking to train an apprentice as a way to settle their debt with him. What the debt was he never found out; his master never saw fit to tell him and his parent's identity was kept secret from him (his last name is his master's name). Thus, from a very young age, Jonathan was familiar with the dark side of the supernatural world. His training was harsh from the beginning, and occasionally his master used him both as an aide and as a tool during missions, experiences from which he carries numerous scars both physical and mental. Jonathan began working solo after his master's death four years ago, though he occasionally teams up with others if the job proves too challenging or the employer insists on it.

Jonathan participations in the current Holy Grail War is just another job for him. He was hired not to win it but to kill all other Masters. What is the reason such a peculiar job is of no concern for Jonathan. The mission is set, now its only a matter of fulfilling it.

[clanjos]

Name: Erasmus Tormod
Age: 55
Gender: Male
Appearance: Hrmph.

Personality: Erasmus is a (formerly) traditionalist mage who's coming to terms with the idea of his own mortality after the death of his wife of thirty years in a car accident. As such, he's decided to make the best of the time he has left, spending as much of it as he can with his grandkids and trying new things. He's gotten a crash course in the modern world, always trying to get more time for his grandkids and hobbies. As he likes to say: "50 is the new 30."

Skills: While Erasmus is in far better shape than he has any right to be at his age, he's still a 55 year old man and tires out quickly. However, he's also a SCA enthusiast, wielding swords and rapiers with ease as part of his regular Renaissance Fair attendance.

Abilities: Erasmus's family has been practicing Rune Magic since the days of the Vikings. He has a large number of mid-level magic circuits, meaning he can cast spells in rapid succession. As such, he knows how to draw the runes from memory and is capable of doing so in the heat of battle. Of course, one of the main issues with using Rune Magic in combat is finding a way around the range problem... which he claims to have done with help from his grandkids.

Brief Backstory: Again, born to a long line of Runic mages dating back to the Vikings, Erasmus was raised in the traditions of magecraft. Eventually, he married, had kids, and then they had grandkids. His wife was killed returning from the airport to drop the children off for summer camp, which lead Erasmus to worry about what would happen to his grandchildren when he was gone. His plan is to use the Grail for something most Mages would find insultingly mundane- to ensure his grandchildren will be secure long after he passes.
