This looks moderately interesting, but I do have a few questions and potentially some feedback if you're interested in that?

KC

Theme

Name: KC ADI-MK I
(Kaiba Corp Artificial Dueling Intelligence Mark I)
Due to a miscommunication, it seems she’s registered under the name ‘Kaycee Adimki’

Gender: Toaster (♀)

Dorm: Obelisk Blue.

Personality: Quite literally, a dueling machine. From the outside, she would seem like a quiet, but competitive girl. A model student incapable of missing a lesson, whose theory and trivia knowledge are second to none.

She will never refuse a challenge, no matter the circumstances. And yet, she will often simply concede a game just when it’s getting interesting. An individual game means nothing, but is simply a stepping stone to becoming a better player. It is not winning, but simply playing that is important to her. In that sense, can she be considered competitive at all?

While her technical knowledge is great, she’s lacking somewhat in heart. The trust in her cards, the attachment to them as allies who have seen her through various battles - without these things, can she truly be considered a real duelist?

History: In any game of logic, technology will eventually exceed even the strongest players. It has been seen in chess, with the creation of Deep Blue, capable of defeating even the strongest player in the world, and chess computers only progressing from there. Developing Dueling technology to this point is a goal of Kaiba Corp. Not simply for the sake of progressing towards the future, but for the sake of improving the human players, too. The stronger the opponent one can train against, the stronger one becomes.

KC ADI-MK I is the first of her type, a dueling AI contained within a humanoid body and possessed of an adaptive intelligence. Not simply manually programmed to respond to each card in a certain way, but genuinely able to learn and develop strategies and counter strategies, becoming more intelligent the more she plays. A marvel of technology, being used for the purpose of playing card games.

She has been enrolled in Central Academy for dual purposes. Her primary goal is to learn, to adapt, and become as strong a duelist as she possibly can. Her secondary goal is to blend in with the students of the academy, to appear as human as possible. It seems, to her, a far more difficult task.

Spirituality: No spiritual ability.

Spirit Partner: None

Ace Card: None

Card Crush: Waste of programming. Wait… Kozaky?

Have a couple Lancers I've been meaning to finish off, could throw one of them in. Might be able to do a Master too.

Fate/Grand Jackpot - Gamble For Humanity [DISCONTINUED]

“Fufufufu…” The Queen of the Threefold Beasts, Katerina Trisomatus, gazed upon her phone and gave an evil laugh. “It seems I have been selected for a secret mission. Truly, my genius has been recognised! I, the Sin-Devouring Serpent, will use this opportunity to prove my awesome and terrible power!”

She held up the phone to punctuate her claims, raising it to the heavens as if it were some kind of trophy.

“What on earth are you blabbering about now?” Her Servant said in an exasperated tone. This child’s strange mannerisms and over-dramatic mode of speech had started wearing on her. To be honest, they’d begun to irritate her on the very day the two had met. She’d spent a good deal of her time here away from the young Master, but one could only separate so much, considering the bond of the command seal.

“Hmph. I’m not talking to you any more,” Katerina Tristomatus, Baphomet’s Seventh Seal, said, crossing her arms and huffing like a child. The phone was tucked away under her arm. “Not after you refused your Master’s orders to make use of your Magecraft for my brilliant prank idea…”

“I wouldn’t call your idea a prank. Really, it was more like a crime against taste and humanity,” Caster said, shuddering as she remembered what the girl had requested of her. “And besides, you shouldn’t be using Magecraft for such trivial things,” She said, her voice slipping into a disapproving, lecturing tone.

Katerina’s mouth pursed in a catlike grin. “Fufufufu… I take my Magecraft very seriously, you know? I wasn’t planning on using it at all, I just wanted you to use yours…” Her grin widened, and she brought her face closer to Caster’s. Their heights weren’t so different, strangely. A heroic spirit should be taller, really. “And since I know what kind of thing you used to use it for, from all those tales about you, what I asked for wasn’t so different, you know?”

It was a dangerous game, really. Baiting a Heroic Spirit, a being of immense power from ages past, an era when human lives could be snuffed out like candles in the face of immense monsters… That was something both Katerina and Pasiphaë were painfully aware of.

Fortunately, all Caster did was blush a deep red and get flustered. “H-Hey! That’s not relevant at all to what we’re talking about here! How did we even get to talking about that anyway? Weren’t you talking about something on your phone?” It was a clear change of subject, but she still snatched at her master’s phone. “Hm. This is a little strange…” She said, the blush fading from her face as she examined a strange new mystery.

Katerina snickered into her sleeve. “It’s not strange at all! It’s as I said - we’ve been selected for a secret mission!” Her voice was a little loud to be talking about secret missions, and the way she dramatically gesticulated while starting to walk in the direction of the assembly halls wasn’t particularly conducive to stealth either. “Come, Servant! Be as the Virgil to my Dante! Guide me through the depths of hell, so that we may reach heaven itself!”

“You… Want me to give directions?” Caster said, deciphering Katerina’s odd way of speech.

She would go along with it, for now. Perhaps it would be better to convince her to attend class, but frankly, Pasiphaë didn’t put much trust in whatever they were teaching here. Simply spending time with her would be far more valuable for Katerina than anything a modern educator could offer. Truancy really wasn’t all that important, especially in the face of an interesting mystery.

Together, the pair began to look for the secret meeting hall.

More than being greek, Amalthea and Pasiphae are even from the same island. And a goat and cow... Maybe I should have gone for something a little more different, but they should be pretty different in personality in any case.

@Yankee@Rezod92

Would Medusa and Amalthea/their masters have given out their true names? It'd be a fun interaction for Katerina (goat and snake) but that doesn't have to happen immediately.

Heat is killing me but I'll try to have something up soon.

@Enkryption Are Servant identities public knowledge? Pasiphae would likely have kept hers secret if possible, but if not that's fine

Master

Basics

Titles: All the World’s Evils (False), Queen of the Threefold Beasts, Sin-Devouring Serpent, Regulus Magnus, Baphomet’s Seventh Seal (All self-given)

Sex: Female
Alignment: True Evil (Chaotic Good)

History

The Trisomatus family were one of many who used the meaning of various ancient monsters to power their magecraft. Though they were an ancient family, they fell into disrepair for various reasons. The dispersal of phantasmal species to the far side of the world, the natural consequences of beast magecraft as a loss of humanity, and problems unique to their own family. The loss of meaning of ‘chimera’ as a singularly powerful beast was already a problem, and, worse, the family’s ability to create new heirs became increasingly poor over time. It was simply a matter of lacking in fertility, but even if it had been purely mundane, such a thing will lead a family to ruin over the scale of time a Magus family needs.

The family stabilized their craft into the modern era of Christianity, by drawing together the meaning of ‘monster’ and ‘demon’, in addition to various meanings of serpents, lions and goats. But nothing could fully regain their past glory. Out of desperation, they turned to a new way of acquiring heirs. Scouring the country for those who naturally fit their purposes, and bringing together three into one.

Katerina is the latest in this line. Not a family by blood, but a line of Magi nonetheless. She doesn’t remember the circumstances of becoming part of this family, nor who she was before being coloured with their magecraft. All she is left with is a vague sense of being much greater than whoever she used to be - well, it’s not something that bothers her, in that case. And everyone changes as they grow up, right?

Even if the Trisomatus family is certainly in decline, a place in the Clock Tower is still a given for their current scion. Though she spent time there, she made no real friends or alliances. Those around her were intimidated by her aura of great evil - or that’s what she told herself. Probably, many of them were simply looking down on her. Even in the world of magecraft, Chuunibyou can still be an embarrassment, it seems.

As for her answer to Chaldea’s call, it was simply a matter of proving oneself. Perhaps it was simply that she took the threat more seriously than many around her.

Magecraft

Magic Circuits Quality: E
Magic Circuits Quantity: E
Magical Affinity: Fire
Attribute: Consumption

Minor Magecraft

• Sin Nexus: Using the concepts of Sin Eating and Scapegoating to draw sin into oneself.
• Sin Devouring: An internal hell that can purify sin and use it as nothing more than fuel. An energy source that compensates for her lack of circuits. Can be used infinitely, but if she attempts to devour something of a higher order than she can handle, it will lead to indigestion… Or death.
• Beast Magecraft (Limb): Encasing one’s limbs in an aura of magical energy that mimics a Chimera. When used on individual limbs, it works as an enormous boost of strength and speed, far exceeding self-reinforcement. Useable 10 times per singularity.

Major Magecraft

• Goat’s Flame: The flame breath of the goat head of the chimera. Using the internal hell as fuel and letting forth a blast of hellfire. Useable 5 times per singularity.
• Snake’s Venom: An attack, striking from a tail with a snake’s head. Biting with powerful venom that melts away flesh. Useable 5 times per singularity.
• Lion’s Skin: The use of beast magecraft to mimic the skin of the lion. A symbol of protection that rejects civilisation. Useable 5 times per singularity.

Primary Mystic Code

Mystic Eye Killer: Golgotha’s Ruin

A mystical eyepatch used to cover her Mystic Eye of Perdition. Though she doesn't truly understand the nature of her eye, and has no memories of using it, it's something she believes in, even if she can't really understand it. As a result, she heaps her own stories upon it, giving it whatever name or ability seems 'cool' at the time.

In truth, it's a single mystic eye that was one of a pair belonging to one of the three people who became one, mutated in the process. A mystic eye of Regression, mutated so that it can only turn inwards. Turning backwards, from man to beast. It's something that aligns well with her Magecraft, empowering it to use her Beast Magecraft across her whole body. However, it also greatly effects her mind, as she becomes something more akin to a beast. Though normally, someone in that situation would simply run out of energy and collapse, her internal sin engine means she could go feral and cause havoc for quite some time... Thankfully, that hasn't happened yet. Her dreadful eye of Perdition is not a tool to be unleashed lightly, after all.

Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items

• Pankration Antistrofi: Pankration, the martial art created by Heracles and Theseus to fight Phantasmal creatures toe to toe. A theoretical reverse; a technique usable by beasts to elevate themselves against heroes… but it isn’t very developed. In its current state, it’s a functional martial art, at the very least.

History

The youngest child of Helios and the nymph Perse. Each of them were powerful and renowned Magi, witches and children of the sun.

There was a time where she wanted wings to soar like her siblings, the eagle and the falcon. But later, it seemed like wings were nothing but trouble.

Unlike her siblings, who achieved their own land, she was married off to king Minos of Crete. A gift, to bridge the houses of Zeus and Helios, one could say. It was not an especially happy marriage, filled with faithlessness - but she had her own method of revenge for that. Nonetheless, she did her duty, and gave him eight healthy children, including her beloved Ariadne.

But the king’s own arrogance, his refusal to keep a promise with the Gods, resulted in the deepest curse. The Divine Bull that he had promised to sacrifice, yet had kept for his own herd - the queen was stricken with an unnatural lust for it. From this cursed union came a monstrous child, Asterios.

Though it was the result of a curse, the queen could not bring herself to see the child harmed. And, since it was a result of the king’s sin, he could not disagree.

The refugee from Athens, the inventor Daedalus, was forced to build a labyrinth to contain the creature, for his part in the queen’s sin. The child grew in the darkness of the labyrinth under the palace of Knossos, fed on sacrifices from Athens.

Years later, that hero, Theseus, appeared. A hero who killed her son, who abandoned her most precious daughter, and stole away another. Like a whirlwind of destruction.

The king focussed his anger on Daedalus while the queen mourned. Imprisoned in his own Labyrinth, the queen brought him what he needed to construct his escape device. Building a pair of wings, he and his child escaped from the island - only for the child to be struck down by Helios, Pasiphae’s own father.

Minos left the island to pursue the inventor, and eventually met his end this way. The queen ruled in his stead, and one of her human sons ascended the throne after news of his death returned to Crete. After this, myths about her cease. Perhaps she returned to her father’s domain.

Parameters

Strength: E
Agility: D
Endurance: B+
Mana: A+
Luck: C

Class Skills

• Territory Creation: B+
  
  The skill to build an area advantageous to a Magus. At this rank, the creation of a ‘Workshop’ or ‘Altar’ is possible. From watching that genius crafter at work, it seems she’s picked up some of the secrets to the creation of a ‘Labyrinth’, but not at a level that approaches the mystery of the true Labyrinth.
• Item Construction: A
  
  A skill to manufacture magical items. Time and resources are required, however. Though it’s difficult, she’ll definitely prove herself an equal to her sister… Even if it’s just for strange curses.

Personal Skills

• High Speed Divine Words: B
  
  A skill that assists with magical incantations, using the language of the age of the gods to greatly abbreviate incantations. Higher level thaumaturgy can be achieved in a greatly reduced time, something with particular applications for direct attacking Magecraft. At this rank, greater level Magecraft can be cast at the speed of a single action.
• Monster Creation: EX
  
  A skill representing the techniques and arts to give birth to a monster. Though the nature of a Servant makes it impossible to truly give birth, artificial means can substitute, so long as one has the materials, time and space. In terms of a mother of monsters who is not herself a monster, it’s hard to think of anyone more infamous. Though birthing only a single monster scarcely compares to a monster-printing machine such as Echidna, on a ‘human’ scale it’s still exceptional. Limited to 5 times per singularity, though extra 'charges' can be spent to increase the power of the resulting 'child'.

Noble Phantasm

[Rank C+]

Counterfeit Cow Cultivator
Daedalus Boukolos
Targets: 1
Range: 0
The device Caster used to mate with the Cretan (later, Marathonian) bull.

Though it’s recorded as being an invention of Daedalus, and simply a wooden cow, in truth it was a collaboration between the two Magi, a conceptual formal wear designed to allow one to synchronize with Phantasmal Species. Between the craftsmanship of Daedalus and the herblore and witchcraft of Pasiphae, something truly special could be created.

Naturally, the intended application can be deduced, but it’s best not to dwell on that.

The synchronization applies to a number of factors - the physical, in terms of matching the rhythm and reducing damage from a phantasmal species’ blows. A defence that automatically matches the strength of physical attacks from Phantasmal creatures, serving as massive damage reduction. The spiritual, opening up the ability to tune one’s mana with such creatures, synchronizing magical energy to increase the potency and output of both parties. Even social synchronization is possible - one will always be perceived as something close to ‘another member of the species’ by phantasmal species. Though it isn’t on the level of brainwashing; hostility from Caster or her allies will still cause a normal reaction, and a greater level of loyalty to another master will not be overridden.

Due to the prominence of her myth, Caster’s physical form is stuck as closer to a cow, and plus modifiers are applied to interactions with Divine Bulls.
