I'll post with Hakuno once I know for sure what I'm doing with her.

Fate/esoterica

Lancer

Were he visible at the current moment, the dutiful guard would have struck an imposing and intimidating form to any potential intruders. Not that there was anyone to intrude anyway; his Master was in the room behind him, accompanied by several maids. Obviously, there were no fellow Servants like him either. That did not change the fact that it was Lancer's duty to safeguard his Master's privacy.

His Master was an interesting specimen, to say the least. Despite her young appearance, she had the talent and ambition to rival the lords of his time. His knowledge of magecraft was understandably limited, but from what the Servant had witnessed in their short time together, her skills seemed abundant in that area. Lancer couldn't help but be a tad bit concerned about her excess of confidence, however. No matter how skilled she may be, this was still a war, and there would *always* be an unscrupulous coward that would avoid a direct battle, and opt for a sneak attack. A valid battle tactic, to be sure, but not exactly Lancer's preferred conduct for warfare.

The door opened, and his Master called for him. Immediately, he materialised his physical form, revealing a towering man with flowing, green robes adorned in armour of bronze and gold. His most notable feature was the finely-combed black beard draped across his chest, the large Servant running his fingers through it after bowing to his Master.

"I am ready to fight, my lady," he spoke politely, "my blade shall strike down all of our opponents. You need only give the order."

It was regrettable that a young child such as this had to fight. War was a cruel environment, especially in this particular battle. However, Lancer simply had to succeed, and he could at the very least, protect the life of his new lord.

This particular oath, he made to himself.

Fate/esoterica

Master

• Name: Kishinami Hakuno
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Totally Formal Wear
• Personality: One who, at first, seems a tad bland and aimless; she claims to have no hobbies or interests, appears to have no interest in the arts, and is even rather uncreative when it comes to spell applications. A lot of this stems from poor social skills: Unused to speaking with strangers for a prolonged period of time, Hakuno generally interacts as 'safely' as possible, carefully choosing her responses to cause the least amount of trouble possible. Though if she's given a chance to warm to someone, she unintentionally begins to show a sillier side to her thought processes. She's a fair bit more cheerful and air-headed than she appears.
  
  Hakuno is unfortunately lacking in self-esteem, however. Given her relatively underwhelming potential as a magus, and her current situation, she can have a tough time keeping herself upbeat. This is another aspect she tries to keep hidden, yet lets slip amongst... whoever could count as a friend during a grail war. She also lacks what most may consider vital: Ruthlessness. As tactically-unsound as it may be, Hakuno would very much prefer to avoid killing her opponents, or at least fellow Masters. Because what are the odds a defeated, living opponent could come back to bite her?
  
  One of Hakuno's strongest traits is probably her stubbornness. No matter how discouraged or ill-advised her action, if Hakuno has decided on a course of action, she'll stick to it. This tends to lead her into trouble more often than not, but hey, she hasn't died yet!

• Skills:
• Hakuno has a surprising knack for using and deciphering Mystic Codes. A mere glance at one in action is enough for her to deduce many of its' properties, and has little trouble in figuring out how to use them, or at least the intended function if it's somehow too unwieldly for her.

• Abilities:
• Element: Air - Like most of her family, Hakuno has an affinity for the Air element. Unlike most of her family, she isn't too well-versed in anything but the most basic of spells. Fortunately(-ish), her family's true specialisation hasn't escaped her grasp.
• Invoked Censor - This ability is a masking spell, of sorts. It doesn't make her invisible, just so thoroughly unremarkable and forgettable that you subconsciously erase her face from memory immediately after seeing her. This effect only strengthens in larger crowds, though Hakuno lacks the skill and expertise to properly combat any spying tactics that could see through her spell. Stronger magi could also potentially see through the trickery in a short amount of time, as well.

• Brief Backstory: The latest in line of a relatively young magus family, and... decidedly one of their weakest, Hakuno has spent a lot of her childhood studying for the sake of her lineage. Unfortunately, her parents always saw her as lacking direly, and more likely to bring their line to a dead end. As much as Hakuno disliked the immense expectation and pressure placed upon her, she saw it as her duty to do whatever she could to continue the bloodline, if only at least until she could produce a suitable heir.
  
  Her mother passed away when she was still a child, and her father died in a traffic accident only a few years ago. Despite her disdain for the life she'd lead to that point, she kept to her studies and training in a desperate effort to uphold the family name. Perhaps the pressure did get to her after all, as she turned to the power of miracles to grant her a wish: With the holy grail, surely she could become a powerful magus and secure her family's lineage, right? Maybe her descendants could be happier, or become a prestigious magus family, if all she had to do was win this conflict...

Lancer

• Name: Guan Yu
• Class: Lancer
• Appearance: Behold the God of Beards
• Personality:
  A man of honour and virtue, who fights for the weak, in service of the just and benevolent. Offering due respect to friend and foe alike, Guan Yu will not tarnish his honour with underhanded tactics in a duel. Any debts accrued shall be repaid in kind, for better or worse - it'd be kind of crappy for him to cut down his foe, if that same person had spared his life before. As a man renowned for his military feats, it's probably no surprise he can be strict with battle tactics, and will expect nothing more than everyone's utmost and fight their hardest to achieve victory.
  
  Outside of battle, Guan is surprisingly relaxed and even jovial. While not quite the drinker his brother was known to be, he certainly won't say no to some good wine, and tends to reminisce about raising his kids, journeying with his brothers across China, and how amazing Red Hare is. Try not to let him ramble on about the horse, it's an ironically slow and long tale.

Stats:

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

Class Skills:

• Magic Resistance: C

Personal Skills:

• Divinity: D – Although not of a divine lineage, Guan Yu has been deified after death, seen as both a god of war, and a god of brotherhood.
• Instinct: B – Guan's extensive experience in combat allows him to predict his opponents' most optimal course of attack. However, this effect weakens against multiple opponents, and effectiveness is halved against ranged opponents.
• Peach Garden's Oath: A - A skill that is inactive, unless Guan and his master swear an earnest oath of kinship. Otherwise, whilst in combat, Guan's stats are increased by one Rank, excluding Noble Phantasms.

Noble Phantasm(s):

• Name: Green Dragon Crescent Blade - Wrath of the God of War
• Rank: C
• Type: Anti-Unit
• Appearance: Base appearance. When 'active', the blade of the weapon is covered in several blue-green dragon scales.
• Effects: Scales slowly grow on the blade of the guan dao, which can be launched as powerful projectiles with each swing; these scales can also be guided by gusts of wind that Guan can create with his powerful strikes as well. A side-function of these scales makes the blade much tougher to break, unless an anti-dragon Noble Phantasm strikes it.

• Name: To Uphold One's Oath
• Rank: C
• Type: Anti Unit, Bounded Field
• Appearance: N/A
• Effects: A Noble Phantasm that recreates the event when Guan Yu defended his sworn brother's wife as he left Cao Cao's service. Although it's unknown as to whether or not this actually happened, Guan Yu is able to emulate the conditions of that scenario. By defending his Master in a specific location, Guan Yu's parameters increase greatly when combating enemy units, while also reducing enemy parameters, providing a powerful defence... or at least a costly last stand for the opponent.

• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Changes: This is actually Lady Guan wearing a beard and doing her best Crispin Freeman impression.

Certainly interested.

"Hmm...?"

With a judgemental expression, Tamamo listened to her Master's explanation. With how calmly he talked, he was either completely truthful, or a seasoned womaniser with way too much experience placating his partner. The fox-eared Caster gave the latter possibility far too much thought before giving him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, she was also curious about the current scenario. Mainly that this person had already summoned multiple Servants, which was a mildly unusual event when it came to Grail Wars.

Atalanta introduced herself to the fox, and she glanced at her fellow animal-eared Servant. Did their Master really prefer such a thing? Tamamo would be happy if that were the case... but she would not tolerate anyone othe than herself providing such a service!
After a moment of seemingly sizing the Archer up, she put on a somewhat-forced smile to maintain politeness and lightly gripped her hand in return, "Lovely to meet you~ I am Cas..."

Come to think of it, they were all freely sharing their true names, huh? Atalanta and Nobunaga... that greatly decreased the odds of this simply being some form of temporary alliance, meaning she could trust the cat and the skeleton. To a point, at least; she would need to be wary of the fact that her Master was in the presence of several women, after all.

"...Tamamo-no-Mae!" She finished, and tilted her head as Keisuke disappeared to fetch some items, "...Cooking? Jeez, I just got here, and Master's already putting me to work~"
Not that she seemed at all annoyed by this. After all, it would be her chance to show off! She could safely assume her newly-picked-out costume was a smashing success, now she just had to prove her wifely abilities were far superior to Atalanta and... was Nobunaga even a contender? Eh, better to be safe and assume yes.

Amidst the glow of the summoning circle, a distinctly-humanoid form could be seen emerging from the floor. Rising steadily, the features could not be immediately discerned, simply a silhouette that indicated either an unusual hairstyle, or very unusual ears, as well as exceptionally-poofy sleeves. Strangely enough, a thick mass was situated behind the figure, like some sort of tail. The figure stood gracefully, once its' feet were above solid ground, the clothing swishing wildly with the seemingly-sourceless wind, kicked up by the magical energy.

As the light faded, the details of the Servant came into view. The obviously-female figure was revealed to be a beautiful, young woman with flowing, pink hair tied with a large blue ribbon... which rested behind the orange fox ears atop her head. With a swish of her bright, bushy tail, the human-shaped fox offered her brightest smile, spread her arms wide and declared;

"The loyal Caster has answered my Master's call! Congrats, for you have obtained a vulpine wife of the highest quality!"

She declared jubilantly, eyes trained on her Master. With a black dress of... interesting decal, the fox-eared Caster took one step forward, and continued, "Let's get the formalities over with~ You are indeed my Master... right?"
She turned her head from side to side, finally taking stock of her surroundings. It was... a tad unexpected, to say the least. She figured only her Master would be here, but instead there's... other Servants?!

With a small frown, she studied them both suspiciously. What appeared to be a large skeleton, giving off the unmistakable aura of a Servant regardless, and...a female Servant with animal ears somewhat similar to her own. The Caster known as Tamamo-no-Mae narrowed her eyes as she faced Keisuke once more.

"...Master, I hope this is not a sign of your infidelity. I will have to strongly object to such a thing," she stated dangerously. It was unclear if she felt jilted, or was more concerned for the Master/Servant relationship of the others, but it was evidently more important to her than anything else, including the dead sea-beast on deck.

Tamamo-no-Mae

• Name: Tamamo-no-Mae
• Class: Caster
• Appearance: World's most loving wife

• Abilities:
• Parameters:
  
  
  
  • Strength: E
  • Endurance: E
  • Agility: B
  • Mana: A
  • Luck: D
  • Noble Phantasm: B

• Skills:
  
  
  
  • Territory Creation: C - Because it seems that her personality is not suited for it, Tamamo-no-Mae has difficulty in even manufacturing a Workshop.
  • Divinity: A - A wake-mitama of a certain Divine Spirit... Of course, she has a top rank of Divinity. This current level is the result of repeatedly putting seals on seals on her Divinity.
  • Witchcraft: EX - Her style of Witchcraft is the Dakini heavenly methods. It includes methods to discern one's time of death and secret arts to obtain influence, such as methods to attain status and fortune (for men) and methods to gain the favor of influential individuals (for women). Lamenting harshly on and learning from the experience in her past, she does not feel like making much use of this.
  • Shapeshift: A - Tamamo-no-Mae knows a shapeshifting method used by Daji of the Shang Zhou Revolutionary Period (Fengshen Yanyi), but she does not feel like making much use of this due to a trauma in her past.

• Noble Phantasms:
  
  
  
  • Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu / Anti-Army / Rank D (Ranked down from EX)
  • Although not intended to be used for battle, Tamamo's main weapon is a mirror that is either attached to her forearm, or simply floating around her body. Originally, this was an EX-Ranked Noble Phantasm capable of resurrecting the dead, but as a Servant, Tamamo can only use a small fraction of its' power. This is manifested by charging the mirror with energy, creating a field that effectively gives Tamamo unlimited mana to use her spells for a short time.

• Personality:
  A cheerful and often-goofy young woman, who aspires to be the best wife she can to her Master. Regardless of their gender or status, Tamamo will happily follow them and serve to the best of her ability... well, as long as her Master is ultimately acting for good.
  As a devoted wife, Tamamo takes great joy in caring for her 'husband', cooking meals and tending to their needs. Of course, she is absolutely overjoyed when the affections are returned, and absolutely adores any gifts presented to her. As long as it's not cheap crap.
  
  Despite the 'cheerful and lovable wife' angle, Tamamo is rather easy to annoy. Anything that divides her Master's attention from herself, separates her Master, insulting her Master - or herself, really... Tamamo will not hold back in her retorts and scorn.
  Beneath the sweet wife and snarling fox faces however, Tamamo is truly a sharp individual, possessing keen insight and even wisdom. As easily swayed by love as her heart is, she is not to be dismissed as a simple, love-struck idiot. You can almost certainly take solace in her relatively poor combat abilities, at least.

• Other: Despite being a Caster, has been known to fight in close-quarters with her fists. She has no particular skills in Martial Arts, but there you go. She also developed the mighty 'Polygamy Castration Fist', a technique so powerful it cannot even be given the rank of EX.
