[center][b]Background:[/b][/center]
Once she was the goddess of war, a daughter of Jörð and Odin, seemingly a shieldmaiden, and a Valkyrie as well. She was ordered to decide a fight between two kings, Hjalmgunnar and Agnar, and knew that Odin preferred the older king, Hjalmgunnar, yet she decided the battle for Agnar. Because of that act; she was labelled a traitor and had her divinity stripped off by her father Odin. Then she was tossed aside to be imprisoned on top the summit of Mt. Hindarfjall, an inhuman devil cave, she was enclosed in a “hall of flames” that brought flames that reached the heavens. She was condemned to live the life of a mortal woman. Her armor was enchanted by her father with the pale rune of punishment that placed her into a suspended state which resembled death She sleeps there, waiting for the man who will rescue her and profess his love to her.

Later a fearless hero bravely rides through the flame with his steed to reach her. The hero came before her, cutting off her mithril armor with his sword that absorbed the rune as it changed into the last curse of Odin. From that act she awakens from her long sleep, but questions him why is he doing this. He should have already knew of the prophecy from uncle that foretold of the prophecy, which is that if both of them were to meet each other, ruin would await upon both of them in the future. The hero replies that, he knew of it and is doing this act because he's only doing what has to be done. As love and emotion are not necessary for him. The hero's plan was to go against the prophecy only to save her and not love her then. Brynhild felt glad, but at the same time she felt sadness inside as well, the hero said this to her that he intends to do just that. But unfortunately he had fallen in love with her in first sight, the hero gave a smile to her, Brynhild felt her heart go, from the smile the hero gave her as it pierced her very center. That hero was Sigurd. Who proposed to her, taking her as his wife.

After a time they had spent together in their honey moon, she taught him the original runes she had learnt from her father Odin, as time went by he left her to seek more glory and fortune until his return. But soon enough he betrayed her by the one she loved the most in the world. He disguised himself with runes in the guise of his brother-in-law's shape. Sigurd rode forth through the flames with his steed Grani, proposing to her again in the guise of his brother-in-law, however Brynhild knew it was Sigurd. Challenging him into a fight, although this was sophistry as Sigurd was already much stronger than her. As a result, he won the fight from the combat skills she provided to him from their time together, presenting her as his brother-in-law's wife, having lost his memories after drinking a special alcohol. Although she accepted the events as her immutable fate, she later learned he had already regained his memories by that point, eventually, raising her own hand against her beloved one, killing him and his followers through a conspiracy and taking her own life to follow after him to the afterlife.

Although she never stopped loving Sigurd more than anyone else, she came to embrace the flames of killing intent at the end of a cursed tragic fate, eventually ending up killing him and also burning herself to ashes.

[center][b]Personality:[/b][/center]
Having been summoned in the Berserker-Class, Brynhildr is even more calm than usual. She rarely speaks to express her thoughts or opinions while engaging her opponents. She is a silent fighter, one bereft of the usual banter, as she boasts through actions rather than through words. Only suffocated, almost inaudible wailing escapes her lips every so often, broken by coarse words, drifting heavily between sandpaper and silken vice. Rarely, she'll laugh...sadly, yet ecstatically, for no apparent reason. Her words sound drained, exhausted and filled with an emptiness she could not explain even if she wanted to.

She is a person who loathes her very existence, not only for killing Sigurd and his child, but for feeling deep inside that it may have been the right decision. He had broken his oaths and forced her to break her own, yet she knows...she hated him because she loved him. However, her acceptance of these facts have crumbled over time, and now her insecurities, self-loathing and repressed rage dwell deep inside her. She wishes for love, yet believes herself only deserving of scorn and punishment. She hopes for salvation and forgiveness, yet fears she will be denied both. She wishes to forgive Sigurd, despite all of his betrayals, yet fears she may simply repeat what her heart once thought inevitable.

In short, a woman broken by love and betrayal.

[*][b]EX:[/b] Rank-Up for all Parameters, but robs most of reason. In the case of Brynhildr, despite the high rank of this skill, it does not appear to rob her of her ability to talk, reason and express herself in a refined manner, and she remains capable of using Magecraft. However, her delusions regarding her lover Sigurd has been pushed to the utmost, causing her to think of any foe she perceives as [i]Male[/i], [i]in Armor[/i] and [i]with a Sword at hand[/i] as Sigurd. She is completely insane in this sense, viewing them all as her lover of yore in the moments he betrayed her, coming again and again to shatter her oaths and her life.

[quote]The "spear of love and hate" of Brynhildr. Rather than being a true spear, it is a manifestation of her deep affection and hatred towards Sigurd having morphed with the mithril spear she used in life. Due to the betrayal of Sigurd and the subsequent damage to her honor and reputation, it was used out of revenge against him.

The spear grows larger and heavier in direct relation to the amount of affection Brynhildr feels for her target. In fact, against some she harbors hatred for it would be rendered entirely unusable. Yet the more her affection for the target rises, the more she loves them, the larger and more destructive [b]Brynhild Romantia[/b] becomes. She clings to her old lover, harboring an unbroken, unyielding love for him even past their deaths. Due to being summoned within the Berserker-Class, it is only usable on those who possess a property that can be linked to Sigurd. If she were to encounter such a foe, [b]Brynhild Romantia[/b] would be several tons heavy, a flick of her wrist capable of rending space itself, shredding an entire street if she so desired. A single target struck by the lance would simply be disintegrated, while a structure like the Temple of Ozymandias would be shaken to it's foundations. In addition, it's destructive power can be further enhanced through the use of her [i]Primordial Runes[/i] and [i]Mana Burst[/i] to destroy her target completely, leaving nothing but ashes. Under the right circumstances, if her love is strong enough, it is said to be capable of slaying even a God.

However, against those she genuinely hates, it would have no effect at all.[/quote]

[quote]A Noble Phantasm that invokes the Goddess Freya and allows the Valkyrie to tap into her true potential as a demigodess. It reflects her deep connection to Freya, the Norse Goddess of Fertility and Love, as well as her own status as an incarnation of War and Death through Love. It also refers to her end, wherein she invoked her powers to destroy every last remnant of Gudrun's family while taking her own life in an immense inferno. It is typically bound by her [i]Primordial Runes[/i], increasing their power while restricting it's use. In the Berserker-Class, it is practically sealed, and can only be unleashed via the use of a Command Spell. It's brilliance conjurs up an image of Venus itself, creating a solid, flaming image of the celestial body in a declaration of dazzling victory that is launched at whatever may lie before Brynhildr.

It is a Noble Phantasm that requires roughly two hours to prepare, as it unravels the sealing by weakening her [i]Primordial Runes[/i] and drawing from her core to invoke her power as a Valkyrie. This process slowly assembles a flaming celestial body, reminiscent of the planet Venus, roughly the size of the moon and scalding like hot lava. It is tied directly to Brynhildr, causing her to radiate intense heat, even beyond the norm. Though it will dissipate if she if killed before the preparations are finished, when fully formed it would be capable of whiping out an entire population, erasing a city like Tokyo from the map, while killing billions in the process. Needless to say, it is without a doubt among the greatest Divine Miracles and a true last restort, that would destroy Brynhildr's spiritual core if she used it. In other words, this Noble Phantasm goes hand in hand with her death.

[hider=Hatem]
[quote][b]Name[/b]
Hatem Atyeh Ghannan El Sadat
[b]Gender[/b]
Male
[b]Age[/b]
22
[b]Personality[/b]
Upon first meeting him, it wouldn't be strange for one to consider Hatem 'inhuman'. He always seems to hold his own composure and manages to appear like the outside world has no influence on him. He shows little to no expression when in public, has no fear and even the biggest mistakes or problems don't concern him. In truth, he is slighly paranoid. He treats everyone around him as a potential enemies, as expected of a man raised to be as absent from the world as possible and to never show any weakness. 

He is always observing. Hatem is not the type of person to put himself under the spotlight or present himself in public. He doesn't approach people directly, but is always held back, watching and observing what those around him are doing, not once thinking about starting an interaction. He is akin to a ghost when in public, never talking but always watching, never closing his eyes, never opening his mouth and never letting his attention lose it's focus. 

Everything he does is a calculated act. From his actions to his speech to his body language, all are the result from his inner calculations, aimed to bring about a desired reaction and produce the best possible outcome to any situation. Naturally, it doesn't always work out perfectly. Though he tries his best, at times he lacks the ability to take human emotion and non-logical reactions into account. 

When he does speak, he is straight forward and to the point. He dislikes explaining things, and will simple express his opinions and thoughts without hesitation. He is also surprisingly honest, only ever lying if the situation demands it. This is most likely something inherited from his mother, who believed in walking into every conversation with her head held high and speak honestly to her heart's content.

[b]Biography and Family History[/b]
The El Sadat are a relatively young family, founded roughly 200 years ago when an El Sadat astrologist married a young woman who hailed from the Atlas Academy. They are relatively minor and unimportant, though there is the infamous tale of Karim Mifsud El Sadat, who attempted to create a mystic code, only to be killed by his own creation. 

Though traditionally headed by men, the last head of the family was a woman. Marwa Handal El Sadat was a prodigy by all accounts, a well respected woman who excelled and was known for her unerringly accurate prophecies. Hatem is her only son, someone expected to become a great man from the moment of his birth. Even though he had a mother, he never the experienced the benefit of having a father. His only relative was his mother, a woman impressed him even as a child. Marwa raised him alone and taught him everything there was to know about his family's heritage and all of their knowledge.

His youth wasn't particularly entertainment. Like the majority of children born into a Magus Clan, it consisted of learning and discovering while working on his own alchemic abilities, which had to flourish for the El Sadat's heritage's sake. Marwa was a harsh teacher who always seemed distant, yet they were undeniably close. Though she never smiled or even hugged him, she always wanted him to enjoy the good things the world had to offer. Some secrets were kept from him in order to protect him from fear and despair, like one of her first prophecies. Whenever they talked, she always tried to keep her son from finding out about things he should not know. Their bond was strong. The time they spent together was long. Her lectures had an effect on the boy, and he found them more enjoyable than the teachings of his Atlas professors. It was not a miracle than he grew into a decent man with decent abilities, maybe even surpassing his own mother. At least that's what was expected of him. He was never capable of fully understanding his mother's method of prediction, so he was never able to surpass or even reach it. For some this failure could have been depressing, but for Hatem is was only logical that he - even if his alchemic abilities were superior to her - would never be as gifted as she was. 

He obtained the crest very early in his life. 

One of their travels led them to the top of a mountain range in the north of Africa. There they sat down to watch the stars. It is one of the few memories Hatem enjoys even today. Just the two of them sitting there, watching the stars and trying to predict what was ahead of them. The emerald green eyes of his mother, glowing, smiling for once while he talked about his assumption. Where they good? He isn't entirely sure. Then she told him something. Something important that he needed to keep in mind. Someday he would have to look for a book, written by her alone, hidden somewhere in a small mountain village. There he would find something called she called 'the truth'.

When he reached the age of 19 she died, at the exact time she predicted. It was nothing special, just a disease, which killed her. Hatem was left alone. It was painful. Nobody saw him for months. He hid himself in the family home, studying and trying to overcome the pain. How many words were there to describe his feelings? Dozens? A hundred? A thousand? Tears were unusual for him, yet he couldn't stop them form escaping. He was alone.

He decided to look for the book his mother told him about. He searched and searched. It wasn't easy, but he found. It was a book filled with all the discoveries she had made during her life. However only one prediction was transcribed. A single sentence, at the very end. A single sentence that both impressed and terrified him. 

[i]"My son will die at the age of 22"[/i]

She was hiding it from him and had now left him the task of preventing his own death. But how? Nothing was written about the circumstance of his demise, not even a date. Only an age.

Was it a coincidence? Somehow he had been chosen to participate in a competition of Magi. A so-called 'war'. It was funny, really. He had turned 22 just days before arriving in Judea, right into the heart of the Holy Grail War. So will this war be the death of him? Or is there really a way to prevent the predicted dead end? It is possible.

After all...no prediction can be 100% accurate.

[b]Number/Quality of Magic Circuits[/b]
The El Sadat family is relatively young by Magus standards. Hatem himself possesses only 10 circuits, all of relatively low quality. Additionally the Magic Crest carved into his back grants him a further 4 circuits.

[i]Future Prediction[/i]
The El Sadat family have always tried to understand the universe and it's ways, in order to predict events of the future. In the end they found their way to do so, when entering the Atlas Academy. There their traditional astrology, the science of observing the stars and trying to figure out the connection between events happening in Space and those happening on Earth, was combined with the teachings of Atlas. Like many ancestors, Hatem learned the relations between all the events happening in Space and on Earth, the relation between the movements of each particle and force in the universe and a way to put all the information into calculation, which could make it possible to predict the future. However, this cannot be treated as an easy skill that can be performed instantly. It requires a large amount of information and detail obtained through observation, such as people's behavior, their birthday, the movement of the stars and sky and the surroundings. The calculations needed in order to sum up all the possible outcomes aren't easy as well. Thanks to his by alchemy strengthened brain he is capable of performing the otherwise impossible calculations very fast, yet not absolutely perfectly, as the more detailed and accurate predictions will need lots of time and processing power which could only be offered by a gigantic super computer. In the end Hamet is not capable of predicting exact dates or even times, but rather some happenings and possible outcomes. The closer those things are the easier it will be for him to calculate, however there is always the possibility to be wrong, as no prediction can be a 100% accurate. 

This can also be used in confrontations after observing another person's actions. The simpler the personality of a person, the easier it will be to predict their next movement or the right way to work against it. 

[i]Alchemy[/i] 
As a man of Atlas, it is only natural that Hatem has some knowledge of Alchemy. Though he specializes in Thought Acceleration he knows the basics of alchemy, capable of coining simple familiars. However, he is far from being a master.

[i]Thought Acceleration[/i]
The main magecraft of Atlas Alchemists. Thought Acceleration is a 'spell' created by Atlas and used by them in order to make their own brains works much faster than ordinary ones and by that get through every task in the absolutely minimum amount of time. Hatem specializes in this, capable of utilizing his brain in the most efficient manner and solve complex calculation at high speed.

[i]Memory Partition[/i]
An ability used by the superior alchemists of Atlas. Paired with Thought Acceleration, the very proof that one is an Atlas alchemist, it is the ability to partition their thoughts to form multiple independent thought processes. While normal people can only have a single "room" in their brain and focus on one thought, partitioning adds partitions to the one room to create multiple rooms. 

It is different than having multiple independent machines in their heads because, while there are multiple processes, they work toward one goal. They manage different problem sets, but work together to generate one overall solution. While machines can calculate on the same level, nothing else compares when used for problem solving. The limit of an average alchemist is one thought into multiple rooms, but superior alchemists can perform first−order tetration of their thought into rooms. The rooms are synergistic, so four partitions allows for 256 thought processes. As they work towards one goal, it does not allow for 256 separate calculations.

Hatem can be considered a genius in this skill, capable of partitioning his brain into five 'rooms'.
[b]Mystic Code/Equipment[/b]
[i]Ird Aqd[/i]
The Mystic Code created by Karim Mifsud El Sadat is a small pendant containing a blue gem. It's purpose was to become the storage for family's obtained knowledge of astrology as well as for all knowledge his and his children's memory contained. The idea was simple; the user used magic to fill the jewel with coded memories - a code that only he and his sons would be able to read. In the end, when channeling magical energy through the pendent, light would be emitted similar to a flashlight by the gem. By using the information carrying character of light, the information would be sent to another person's brain through their eyes. The brain itself would just read all the information given and by that earn all the stored knowledge in coded form. 

When attempting to access the saved up data for the first time, a problem appeared. When looking at the light, the brain will be flooded with an uncontrollable stream of information. Only a single glimpse would be enough for most to endure, especially when being confronted with the El Sadat's codes. A person would be unable to work through all that information and the brain itself will reach it limits, causing severe pain and the sensation that one's brain is being torn apart. At first there is only a devastating headache, but the longer you are receiving the endless mass of instant information the more will affect your brain, until it forces it to shut down, causing death. This was the unfortunate fate of Karim. 

Though it was sealed away after Karim's death, Hatem's mother Marwa freed the pendant and took it as her own, passing it to her son when she died. 

[b]Non-Magecraft Related Skills[/b]
[i]Qital Sariea[/i]
A fighting style created by and taught to Hatem by his mother, who believed it was important for magus, especially an alchemist, to be able to defend themselves. The fighting style itself is built to make use of the body's ability to move quickly and skillfully. It revolves around the user moving as fast as possible, while trying to forsee the enemies attacks and striking only at their weak spots. All in all the style is quiet simple: Trying to evade as much physical contact and damage while waiting for the perfect opening to attack in a fast and brutal manner. However the style is quiet taxing and is only suitable for small bouts. [/quote]
