A few grenades, some ammo, and his trusty handgun lined the inside of Felix's jacket, sprawled out onto the bed of his temporary place of residence. For most people it would have been near impossible to smuggle his equipment through airport security without being labeled as a terrorist, but with his resources and planning it may as well not have even been a problem in the first place, and before he knew it he was armed and ready for what was to come. Sure he had his magic, but if you asked him only a fool wouldn't use all the resources available to them. Was this being dishonorable to the code of magic? Possibly, but that didn't exactly matter when those who disagreed had a bullet lodged in their skulls, did it? If he wanted to have the best chance of success possible, Felix knew he needed to break a few rules and get his hands a bit dirty. Using weapons other than magic was child's play compared to what he'd done in the past.
"There it is." Felix mumbled to himself as he pulled a gas mask from his closet. Placing the gas mask on the inside of his jacket and pulling it on, the magus quickly exited his room and began quickly making his way back to the lobby on the second floor. The call over the speakers had caught him off guard as he was busy reading a book on Irish mythology both for research and his own amusement, so he had to quickly prepare himself with his gear. After all, this was the first gathering since he'd arrived at this high-tech facility, so at the very least something was going down. Worst case scenario he'd be over prepared, but that'd never gotten anyone killed before, unlike what walking into a trap unprepared would do. However, in his rush he'd left both his book and the bag containing his all-important catalyst all alone, so upon arriving and spotting his book still resting on the table he was able to let out a sigh of relief. However,while he did spot a bag that he was sure was his, it's position seemed to have been far from where he'd left it.
No time to think about it. He was already running a bit late, so without thinking or inspecting the bags contents Felix quickly hoisted it over his shoulder and made his way towards the aforementioned meeting spot, opting to take the stairs in order to speed things up. At the door Felix pressed his ID card against, and once the door opened he couldn't help but smirk at the sight before him. There were magic circles scattered all throughout the room, some appearing to already be fitted with a catalyst while others were left empty. It wasn't this sight that made him smile though, but instead the one of a few of the masters seemingly having come unprepared.
"I'm surprised they even let you show up without knowing how summoning even worked." Felix said aloud for the whole room to hear. "Doing a bit of research isn't hard you know." His confident tone made it clear he thought he was better than everyone else in the room, and according to Felix he had every right to be a bit cocky. He'd busted his ass his entire life and fought against the odds to get to where he was. He'd never had anything gift wrapped for him, and every little victory was made purely because of his own sweat and blood. Receiving the invitation to become a master for a Servant made perfect sense to him as he felt he was more than qualified, so seeing those who appeared to be hoping for a good draw ticked him off more than a little bit.
Well, he'd deal with that later. For now, he needed to set up his summoning circle. Yes, he'd used his contacts he'd gained from his line of work to find a quality catalyst, and thus he was guaranteed a high quality servant. All he needed to do was open his bag and pull out...
... A pair of panties.
What the hell!?!? Yes, instead of the metal box he'd expected to see Felix had found himself faced with a bag full of women's clothing. "No no no, where is it?" Panicked all of his hard work and planning had been sent down the drain, Felix rummaged through the clothing in a panic, tossing dress's and bras to the floor in the hopes his catalyst would magically materialize itself. "GOD DAMN IT!" Felix yelled in frustration as he threw the bag to the ground. This wasn't his bag. Where the hell was his bag!? Did somebody steal it to sabotage it? Was it confiscated for some reason? Where did-
There it was. A girl he did not recognize had his bag. It was then he'd realized what had happened, though it didn't make the magus any happier. Still frustrated, Felix picked up the clothes he'd tossed onto the floor along with the bag and dropped it in front of who he guessed was its owner. "Maybe keep track of your laundry next time, alright kid?" He said, still visibly annoyed. "Now, would you mind giving my bag to someone who actually knows what they're doing?"
I'm super excited for this to start! I'm really interested in seeing the groups and the kind of interactions that brings.
Anyways, on an unrelated note, what's everyone's favorite and least favorite classes?
Personally for me, I really like the Assassin class with Jack and Jekyll being high quality Servants, but I think Archer is my favourite. Not only is the class itself something I like (only behind Assassin), but it has a lot of Servants that I love.
As for least favourite, easily Rider. I dunno why, it just seems so bland compared to the rest.
Personality: Shinobu is a bit of a rebel. An individual who refuses to listen to authority, and often goes about thing her own way, even if it usually ends up to not favor her. The sort who would discuss any sort of discussion she so chooses, even if statements might hurt the individuals involved. Though she would say something akin to “People need tougher skins”, she nevertheless gets upset when others point out flaws within herself.
Arrogance is the defining trait most people will know her for. She appears to look down upon others as often as she speaks to them and seems to have complete confidence in her actions, regardless of what they currently are. Even if she doesn’t have a plan, she tends to act in a way that might display confidence in her actions, as she believes herself to have the ability to win. However, she seems to only show this side to other mages. Her normal personality seems to emphasis her more cold and collective side of herself.
Though somewhat rational when the need may be, she had been known to enter certain "fits" or "episodes" of irrational thought. Most of the time she sports herself as a strong-willed female, though has been known to show affection towards others given the right scenario. Despite her rather insensitive speech, she seems to care genuinely for those around her and would not want to harm those she genuinely cares for unless absolutely necessary.
Has an unhealthy obsession with cute stuffed animals that she would never tell anyone about. Please don’t look in her room. There is nothing to see there. I swear.

Quality of Magic Circuits: B
Od: A
Houjutsu: A Japanese system of Magecraft. Involves divination, astrology, Shikigami, calendar making, fortune blessing and cursing, walking on water, and Astral healing.
Spirit Removal: With a simple hand movement, spirits and monstrous things are crushed like it’s nothing. Similar to the Shinto method of spirit purification Even if a spirit isn’t crushed, its power is diminished greatly for a vast time.
History: Shinobu lived a pretty simple life. Though of a pair of twins, her sister had died during birth due to complications. However this did not seem to bother the Shiratori household.
A japanese mage who was taught all she knew from her father, Kosaku. Though her training was not all sunshine and rainbows, it wasn’t like she didn’t enjoy the teachings of her father and the learning of her own history. She hid her powers from her peers, as a magus should, which caused a difference in her personalities when dealing with the occult vs normalcy, her normal personality acting cold and indifferent to others and against magus her actions seeming more harsh.
During her training, her father had trained both her mind and body for the purpose of being a magus. The classical believe that the body and mind are linked. Of course, most of the training went towards the magecraft, but her skills in physical combat should not be scoffed at.
Other: Knows jujitsu. Throws a really good hook.
Just wanted to say that her and Felix seem both similar and different enough in a way that they'd both absolutely hate each other, so that's great!
Magic Resistance (A): Her divine nature combined with her combat of spirits in the past has given her an extremely high resistance to magic.
Primordial Rune (-): Lancer holds knowledge of ancient Runes that come from an olden age, thus allowing her to use classical Rune magic.
God Slayer (B): As the demonic realms gatekeeper, Lancer gains a plus modifier when fighting Divine Spirits, wraiths, and Servants with the divinity skill.
Clairvoyance (A): Having seen the death of her own pupil, Lancer can track fast moving targets from a distance and also possess clairvoyance, able to peer into the future.
Noble Phantasms:
Gae Bolg Alternative Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army Rank: B+ Description: Similar to the spear she bestowed upon her pupil Cu Chulain, Scathach possesses two Gae Bolg Alternatives, both functioning similarly to the one used by her student. As long as her Noble Phantasms exist, those wounded by the spears are cursed, unable to heal their injuries under any circumstance. On top of this, she can call upon its true power, Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death. Leaping into the air, Scathach can hurl Gae Bolg Alternative with a destructive and explosive force that explodes on impact, blowing away all that stands in its way.
Personality: Scatach has been said to be a very proud and noble woman, while at the same time serving no one but herself. Her birth into the ruling class is evident in how she holds herself. She holds the ideal "reigning as a queen that bestows happiness to the people", bestowing kindness and good will towards those who she deems worthy and even teaching those with great potential. In fact, one can say that she possesses a talent for seeing the true character and traits of a person that even they may not notice. She values courage and great determination, and wishes to always find a good challenge and a worthy foe. Her lust for battle is unquenchable Understanding her talent and ability, Scathach knows full well that few can stand toe to toe with her, though she longs for the day she is proven wrong.Out of all things, what Scathach laments most is her inability to experience death. If she could make a wish on the grail, it would be to allow someone to be able to kill her, especially if it's a certain pupil of hers...
Also, here is Scathach! While I do have Victoria in mind for her, that is mainly because I see her as the best fit for Scathach. If anyone makes or thinks their character is a better fit then let me know!
