Fate/Exit Order (Discontinued)

Here it is, conveniently I was mulling over this idea for the past few months and this helped me make the character faster than expected. Tell me what's there to fix, whether they're concept and balance issues or errors in grammar, syntax or format.

South American Dad

Class: Assassin
True Name: Martín Fierro, The
Origin: Literary Works
Height/Weight: 178 cm / 69 kg

Appearance

Alignment: Chaotic Good
Personality: As a being that embodies the men that lived in the pastures of the 19th century Argentina, the Martín Fierro is a simple man with a free spirit. He lives his life day by day, and enjoys the simple pleasures of his life whilst doing his work. He is loyal to his family and friends, and seeks to impart the aspect of his trade towards his sons whilst protecting his wife and friends.
A self-made man, the Martín Fierro is also rebellious towards authorities and incredibly proud. He will not stand any sort of injustice towards his peers, and he will not take any slights towards him sitting down. He'll only accept someone as his superior if they prove to him that they're fit for the task and earn his approval, which gets him in odds with those that are supposed to command him.
Nevertheless, his pride also leads him to reject help from anyone else. Due to the harsh times, his family had to leave when he was conscripted, and he blames that on his weakness at the time. He spent years roaming the plains before meeting his sons again, to who he advised on the ways of livinng life. In the end, his wish for the Holy Grail would be "to ensure his sons have a good life". A simple man, who simply believes he is meant to be by his lonesome until the end of his days.
Because the author of his story was part of the Argentinean priviledged class at the time, this Martín Fierro inherited some of the traits associated with that position. As such, instead of "a honorable rouge who cannot read nor write that defies society" that would be more fitting of his story and background, he became "a gruff gentleman seeking to right the wrongs he perceives". This certainly mellows out the rough edges this man would otherwise have, and makes dealing with him much easier.

Backstory: The Martín Fierro is the main character of the story that bears his name, an epic written by Juan José de Hernandez that ultimately gave birth to the modern image of the argentinean cowboy: the Gaucho.
This Martín Fierro is the combination of the one that parted ways with his two sons and Cruz's at the end of "La vuelta del Martín Fierro", the second and final part of his story. Despite this figure's qualifications for the Rider and Saber classes, his actions within the epic that birthed him define him as an Assassin in the end.

— Class Skills —

Presence Concealment: C - Hides one's presence as a servant. Suitable for spying. The rank of Presence Concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack. This skill is granted to Fierro purely due to his denomination as an Assassin rather than personal prowess.
Riding: B - As the figure that would ultimately become the poster image of the gaucho, the Martín Fierro has been depicted on horseback numerous times, and as such he receives this skill. He is able to handle most animals and vehicles without issue, yet he cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.
Independent Action: B - It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.[

— Personal Skills —

Honor of the Gaucho: A - Thanks to the work that gave life to the Martín Fierro, the figure of the argentinean countryman and cowboy would become heavily romantiziced through the years to come. This skill conveys the several traits of the stereotypical gaucho rather than of Fierro himself and they are represented by the following skills at B rank: Animal Dialogue, Bravery, Battle Continuation,, and the class skills Independent Action and Riding.
Instinct: C+ - The Martín Fierro faced many deadly perils through his epic, of which one the most prominent were the fights to the death he took part in. Whether it was to uphold his honor or to save his life, he always came out the victor of the bout. Furthermore, this skill receives a rank-up whenever the situation is of a one-on-one combat and another one whenever his Noble Phantasm is in effect.
Gallant Charisma: C - The ability to inspire through one's fighting prowess. A mixture of Proof of Friendship and Charisma, it steems from the way that Cruz, an officer that had to capture Fierro due to the murders he commited, sided with him when he was cornered by law enforcement and became his companion until his demise to embrace the ideal of freedom that the Martín Fierro embodied even when faced with unsurmountable odds. Those opposing him will have the doubts of their cause increased and, should their conviction falter, they'll either turn tail and flee or willingly surrender. However, this can lead to having those that enjoy fighting redouble their efforts and nullify any possible chance of a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

— Armaments —
His facon: a simple, long and heavy knife that he uses for practically anything that'd require the use of a blade, whether it is a mundane task such as cutting bread then smearing butter on it,
or for the purposes of defending his honor and slaying his enemies. It bears no name and, were it not for the fact that its the weapon he was summoned with, one could easily mistake it for antiquated kitchenware.

— Noble Phantasm —

The Moment to Clear All Doubts - Payada de Contrapunto

Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: B
Range: -
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: Of all the moments within the Martin Fierro, none are as strongly remembered as the duel of wits between him and the brother of a man he murdered. With a guitar serving as a mediator and method of arguing, Fierro's silver tongue and lyrical display gave way to his rival admitting defeat and declaring him the better man. Thus, he left his past behind and went onwards through a new path.
When releasing this Noble Phantasm, Fierro marks someone that has declared him as an enemy as his Rival. From this point on, the conflict between both of them becomes a set event, and the ensuing fight cannot be avoided by any means. Fate will steer events so that this prophecy is fulfilled, as this Noble Phantasm operates in a manner similar to Gae Bolg: the causes surrounding Fierro and his Rival will inevitably lead them towards the set event of their duel. Any attempts to interrupt this fight once it occurs will require a luck check to succeed, as this is set to be the resolution between one man's grievances towards the other.

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

I'll do a preemptive claim on the S-rank slot by posting my WIP sheet for Magnus, mostly so that Juvvie can review the concept of the magic.

One Dapper Crazed Alchemist

Appearance

Standing at seven feet tall, Magnus seems to have been directly ripped out from a horror story with how long and thin his limbs are. This is the colour scheme of his clothes.

Name: Magnus Gottfried Ripley
Age: Early Fifties
Guild: Fairy Tail
New or Veteran Member: New
Location/Color of Guild Mark: Left side of his face, allegedly.
Magic Type: Alchemical Magic - Magnus's magic focuses on the manipulation and alteration of elements after their core nature has been comprehended. The core processes of this magic are divided into different "gates", which are combined together to produce the effects Magnus desires.
It is to be noted that, whilst these gates are numbered and ordered, it isn't needed for them to be done in such a way to utilize a desired gate. Moreover, they can be combined in whichever order Magnus finds more convenient. This isn't without drawbacks, however, as more magic will be expended in order to compensate the altered order, the amount escalating in proportion to how big the alteration is.
The gates can be divided in three groups that share the same fundamental concepts and characteristics. They are as follows:

Mercurial Gates/Gates of the Mind

These gates are all focused on the basic manipulation of magic and energy, and are the core of Magnus' elemental prowess and versatility. These gates are the bread and butter of Magnus offensive and defensive kit, allowing him to use a barrage of elemental warfare whilst negating most of the damage he'd receive by turning the attacks into power to fuel his barrages.

1st Gate: Calcination - Purges the target elements from any impurity and progressively refines them to be the best quality of their natural state.
2nd Gate: Solution - Thins down the structure of the target elements by progressively transforming them into raw magical energy.
3rd Gate: Separation - Transforms raw magic into one of the four elemental types: Fire, Water, Air and Earth.
4th Gate: Conjunction - Gives form to elemental magic.

Saline Gates/Gates of the Body

These gates operate by altering part of the nature of an element temporarily, letting Magnus shift his approach to a situation in unexpected ways to gain the upper hand

5th Gate: Putrefaction - Weakens and erodes the target elements, bringing decay upon them until they lose shape or are no more. Wood will be corroded until in cracks, and stone would gradually become sand.
6th Gate: Congelation - Solidifies and toughens the target elements, making them more resilent than they would naturally be. Silk would be as strong as steel, and brittle iron would withstand the largest of weights.
7th Gate: Cibation - Empowers the target elements, increasing their natural potency. A flame will rage more fierce and a breeze would become a storm.
8th Gate: Sublimation - Alters the physical state of the target elements. Gold will flow like a stream through the crevices of the floor, and the very air will become a wall.

Sulphuric Gates/Gates of the Spirit

These gates all affect and alter the core principles of an element and have lasting consequences. Because of this, they are both the most powerful and most difficult gates to utilize in Magnus arsenal. The amount of energy needed to use these tends to be prohibitize to be used in normal combat situation with the natural energy in the ambient and within Magnus body, as such these are often used in conjunction with Mercurial Gates to compensate for the cost.

9th Gate: Fermentation - Rouses and restores the target elements, slowly turning potential into reality and allowing them to grow and surpass their natural limits. A seedling will become a tree in less than a year and it shall tower over its peers.
10th Gate: Exaltation - Brings forth the potential the target elements have within them, turning them into their greatest version of themselves for as long as the energy within them allows it. A small bud will blossom into a large and beautiful flower in mere moments and it shall remain as that until it withers the entire branch it is in.
11th Gate: Multiplication - Through great cost and effort, the target elements are copied and recreated. What was one becomes two, and what were two become four.
12th Gate: Projection - The epitome of Alchemical Magic, and the hardest of the arts to master and execute; the alteration of the very nature of the target elements. An elixir becomes a panacea, and lead becomes gold.

Magic Rank: S

Strengths:

Versatility:

It's quite evident that the major strength of Magnus magic lies not within the power output he can potentially display but the vast array of situations he can cover with it. Long-range combat or melee; offensive or defensive support; siege or defense, Magnus can fill whichever role he wishes and perform well in it.

Resourceful:

Thanks to his years work and research, Magnus has quite a lot of contacts across the continent he can get in touch with to get whatever he feels he needs. Moreover, he's liable to have a trinket or two laying around that could be useful for whichever task is at hand at the moment and, if that's not enough, he can simply provide some capital to compensate.

Perceptive:

As much of a crazed fellow he may seem at first sight, it's undeniable that Magnus is an incredibly sharp man. Through the extensive work he put into developing his magic he also honed his senses to a level that he can spot oddities before others do so.

Studious:

A lot of work had to be put in order for the Alchemical Magic to be created, and plenty of tomes and scrolls were exhausted in the process. As such, this man's mind is filled with knowledge of magic and the several ways it can be manipulated. Coupled with his sharp senses, this allows him to bring out the potential of his Mercurial Gates in a combat situation by recognizing what sort of magic is being used and reacting appropiately.

Weaknesses:

Self-interested

At the end of the day, Magnus is in it only for himself and his research. He will only lend a hand if there's anything he can get out of the situation, and his loyalties are absurdly fluid. He forms no attachments unless he's benefited by it, and sees bonds as something frivolous that can be lived without. He's a man that cannot be trusted.

Arrogant

Magnus always talks and acts as if everyone else is, ultimately, inferior than him. He will always see himself as ineffable and that his actions all serve a greater purpose, and will treat those who disagree with scorn and prepotency. After all, he's the only one with the vision to understand what truly matters, right?
Whether or not his claims of grandeur are justified is something that is yet to be proven.

Comprehension

More so related to his magic rather than his personality, the extent of his powers are limited by his own knowledge that, whilst reaching encyclopedic levels, is still limited in the end. Moreover, he can only use his magic on things he knows and understands, as he has to factor in the different aspects of the target, and the complexity of his target adds to the difficulty.
For example, he can easily use his magic on simple things like ice, wood, metals or fire, as they're easy to understand. However, to be able to use his powers on a regular sword as a whole he needs to know what are its different parts and what are they made of. If there's any sort of enchantment on it already he also has to know it as well. Whilst this is palliated by his extensive knowledge, at he end of the day the power of this magic is limited by the same thing.
This effectively impedes him from using it on living beings, as life itself is incredibly complex and each person is different than each other. His ultimate goal in life is the complete understanding of all things for this very reason.

Overcomplication

Magnus has the strange need to be very elaborate on his every action, mostly for dramatic effect. Walking through the door is too simple, and as such he'll take measures to the level of using magic to blow them open as he makes his way in. Perhaps even a small fireworks display.

Control Freak:

Two decades of lonesome research lead to several quirks. Flasks must be facing a certain way, papers must be placed at a certain desk and things must be done in a certain way. Whether they're merely for convenience in the daily life, from preconceived notions or because he needs things that way for them to work, Magnus cannot stand people messing with the way he sees that things must be done.

Personality:
Background:
Other:

I'll be tinkering on this very post with any modifications and listing the changes in subsequent posts on the thread, the next changes in mind being filling out the rest of the items and making it look pleasant to the eye.

⚓Jollies and Justice - A One Piece RP⚓

_{okay: three, two, one, let's jam}

The early bird gets the worm. That was a rather good saying, although it wouldn't be enough to explain why Aria was a morning person in most of the cases. The mornings tended to be quiet and, unlike the nights, one had the liberty to move around the place without stumbling into any janitors as the sunlight slowly entered through the windows of the hall, a pleasant yellow tinge carefully glazing over the buildings that could be seen through the glass panel of the hallway. A magnificent view that she didn't think she'd ever see.

Marineford. She had made it in.

As lackluster as their training course had been, Aria was understanding of the situation: the rise in piracy meant that there weren't enough hands to have in the base for this matter, as important as it was in hindsight. And, despite how wrong as it seemed, the only way that Justice could be imposed at this point of time meant that the marines were meant to deal with bounty hounters and other assorted scum.

A slight commotion that came from the kitchen withdrew Aria from her thoughts, as a couple of chairs and trays cluttered noisily to the floor, followed by the tiny clattering of minuscule legs and the menacing snapping of claws. The scream from one of the other recruits earned a sigh from her as she ventured into the kitchen and found the hope of the seas attempting to fit as many marines as they could between the countertop and the shelves at the sight of an animated toaster that threatened to snip at their ankles should they get too close.

Less than three minutes later the issue had been resolved by smashing the legs to bits and removing the lower half of the pincers with a couple of precise strikes. A quick spin on her heel and she exited the room, her cloak fluttering behind her due to the movement before settling down as the tapping of her cane faded into the hallway. Aria'd have a word with her roommate later, automated toasters would only cause trouble down the line.

---

The news of a mission reached Aria's ears later that day, in the middle of her training. The pause had been good, but this made her wonder if they also lacked manpower within the dispatchment department as well. If they were going to give her almost no information on what she was supposed to do, then this was gonna be more difficult than expected.

Orders were orders, nevertheless, and she arrived the destination less than five minutes before noon. Punctuality was important if she wanted to rise through the ranks and have enough priviledges to command a ship or even an entire fleet. She spent the waiting minutes wondering who could Salamanca possibly be before hearing the voice that she had the (dis)grace of sharing a room with. A single nod was given as a salute as Aria adjusted her gloves and allowed the tasteless joke to go unanswered. The answer to the question was apparent in her eyes, and as such she was gonna let Elizabeth figure it out all by herself.
