Appearance:
Personality:
Arata is a kind soul that frequently likes to gift other people their favorite food, and items pertaining to their hobbies due to his time spent with the large Yggdmillennia Clan. He is known as being an overly affectionate person in the clan and that he would've been unsuited to be in the clock tower. He is a pretty modern person using technology for most of his everyday life, preferring to use a cellphone than contacting people using more magical means.
Arata's pursuit of reviving the Matou clan was fueled mostly out of respect for his family history. Over the years he has come to enjoy the process of magecraft itself. Essentially following the creed that magecraft is an accessory to human life. But sees that his predecessors have crossed the line and become something less than human in their pursuit of knowledge. Which led to his choice of using Japanese rhinoceros beetles as the new familiar due to their herbivorous nature, not wanting to create any more disgusting monsters.
He doesn't view his servants as tools but rather companions, giving them affection and unnecessary treats when he is extremely happy with them and their success. This makes him a great master even though he doesn't have much talent as a magus, as he is perfectly aware of his disadvantages, so as to compensate he tries to know his servant's strengths, weaknesses, preferences, and limits as soon as they are summoned. So that he can make good use of their abilities and build a strong bond of trust while commanding them.
Biography:
Arata Matou was a descendant of a distant relative of the declining and once prestigious Matou family. Arata having been the first child to be born with average magic circuits in a long time, was designated the sole heir capable of carrying their craft. Still, with the Matou crest worms having been lost many years ago with the death of Zouken Matou. Arata was forced to start the Family’s magecraft from scratch, it was during this time of study he was approached by the Yggdmillennia Family to join into their clan. Seeing the inherent failure of pursuing such a task on his own he accepted and joined as one of the many families part of Yggdmillennia. Using the various resources available to him, as well as help from other members of the clan.
Arata was able to use the Matou family’s innate talent in the creation of Familiars in order to begin breeding a new kind of Familiar. By using the many Rhinoceros Beetles, he had gathered in Japan. He began to slowly turn them into the new familiars the Matou family would start to use. Eventually, during the founding of Chaldea, the Yggdmillennia offered its members to join the organization. Arata even though being average at best possessed the highest aptitude out of his clan and was sent as to become a member in Team B. His use Healing and Familiars making him a great support member.
Magecraft Section:
School of Magecraft:
General Foundations: As an heir, it was to be expected that Arata mastered the basics. After all, it would be laughable if he didn’t know them. One couldn’t cast a single mystery without a proper foundation and material to work with. Reinforcement, Structural Analysis, Boundary Fields, they were all part of his arsenal.
Healing Magecraft: The type of thaumaturgy involving recovering the flesh of injured people and of detoxification. Arata uses this in the same vein as the Einzbern family. Mainly used to lessen the great burden felt by his familiars who received an organ that was tempered with magical power and help their body get used to the newly transplanted organ.
Transference of Consciousness: is to transmit one’s consciousness into another object to acquire information from a different perspective. Widely used by magi on their familiars or dolls to remotely control them at a distance and as well as to perform spiritual possession of inanimate objects. Arata has an innate talent in this because of his lineage and is proficient in controlling swarms of his familiars for reconnaissance.
Skills/Spells List:
Cell Therapy: A healing spell that costs little Od to use. It is used to amplify and speed up the body's natural healing process by casting it on the injured person. The process is fueled by a large amount of life energy that comes from the recipient, and could potentially drain enough energy to kill said recipient if one is not careful. While of little drain to Arata himself the spell should only be used sparingly on minor to moderate injuries and only after the wound is treated. (10 times)
Shared Perception: A spell that allows a Magus to share the sensorial inputs (sight, hearing, etc.) of a creature that he has a passed Magical Energy to. Approval from the other party is a requirement. Uses include monitoring of target’s activities at distance and it is especially effective if said target is trained for scouting operations. Arata uses this mainly on his Scout Beetles to perform reconnaissance or his own servant. (15 times)
Remote Access: A spell that allows Arata's mind to connect with his Beetles, this allows him to coordinate his commands to his Beetles mentally in order to better use them. (10 times)
Healing Drop: A healing spell mainly used for those who have an affinity to the water element. It uses a large amount of Od to mend flesh together at an accelerated pace. While less dangerous the Cell Therapy and more immediate, this spell costs a large amount of Arata’s Od so he can only use it sparingly and for emergencies. (3 times)
Self-Reinforcement: Arata is proficient at strengthening his body to be more durable, and his feet to make him run faster and jump higher. His mediocre prana does not allow him anything superhuman, but it is sufficing to say that he's better than your average human. (5 times)
Basic Suggestion: Suggestion using the eyes to make magical energy flow into the target's body. This magical energy is stagnant. It’s mainly used to manipulate non-magi into doing or thinking something. (15 times)
Basic Bounded Fields: Creation of a Bounded Field that confers intruder alert, soundproofing, and demarcation of the mana in its area. (5 times)
Basic Bounded Field Removal: Removal of Bounded Fields that confer intruder alert, soundproofing, and demarcation of the mana in its area. (5 times)
Formalcraft: Using catalysts and magic circles to perform rituals. The bare minimum.
Mystic Pass: Also known as the H-scene tantric rituals. Essentially passing magical energy through sexual intercourse.
Independent Living: the ability to provide for oneself, including cooking, cleaning, and general household maintenance. Not particularly useful in terms of combat, but at least Arata isn’t any more of a burden.
Amount of Magecraft Mana: C

Familiars:
Scout Beetle: Beetle familiars that were bred using the smallest of the offspring. They hold no special properties besides living longer than the average beetle and the ability to feed on mana. Being descended from herbivores they mainly target plants for substance. These beetles are the ones commonly trained and used by Arata to perform reconnaissance using Shared Perception. Usually carries 15 of them.
Soldier Beetle: The ones closest to being called a Phantasmal species, these beetles were heavily modified by Arata. They are as big as a fist and have horns capable of piercing a human skull, their exoskeleton is tough enough to survive against low-grade pistols, and their strength has increased significantly. These beetles were specifically made to defend Arata and his future descendants. Still being herbivores that devour can devour mana, they are very voracious and high maintenance needing to be fed on plants growing near Leylines. Usually carries 5 of them.
