[hider=Here we go] [list] [*][b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1608850]People live when they survive[/url] [*][b]Name:[/b] Emiya Shirou [*][b]Sex:[/b] Male [*][b]Franchise:[/b] Fate/Stay Night. Following the 'Good End' of Unlimited Blade Works. [/list] [list] [*][u][b]Special Abilities/Powers:[/b][/u] [*][i]Reinforcement[/i]: Shirou is able to strengthen the composition of an item, or temporarily heighten his own attributes, such as his eyesight. [*][i]Projection/Tracing[/i]: Shirou can create swords out of thin air, to put it simply. Any sword he's studied and memorised can be recreated, as long as he what he's seen was the finished product. Although the copy is effectively exactly the same as the original weapon, any weapon that isn't strictly standard will be of lower quality than the original. [*][i]Unlimited Blade Works[/i]: Shirou creates a field of blades that greatly boosts his projection ability, letting him overwhelm an opponent with superior firepower, so to speak. The problem with this, however, is that he simply cannot afford the MP cost on his own, rendering this skill effectively invalid. [*][i]Archery:[/i] Not exactly a superpower of his, but his archery skills are ridiculously good. [/list] [list] [*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] More of a summary of his more common projections, given that he doesn't physically carry his weapons around. [url=http://img04.deviantart.net/5bbb/i/2012/224/5/6/kanshou_bakuya_by_aolorn-d5aubbb.png]Kanshou & Bakuya[/url]: Twin swords that Shirou coped from Archer, having been drawn to the swords when seeing them in action. The dual swords seem to suit Shirou fairly well. [url=https://i.stack.imgur.com/bDpCH.jpg]Rho Aias[/url]: A flower-like shield Shirou can project in order to block a particuarly potent javelin or projectile weapon. Normally, it would possess up to seven layers of protection - each layer being as tough as a rampart to pierce - but Shirou is only normally capable of projecting one layer. Chances are, if Shirou hads to use this shield, he's going to be left with little energy left to fight on much longer, and any damage the shield actually receives is reflected onto him, too. [/list] [list] [*][b]History:[/b] The survivor of a terrible tragedy in which he was the only survivor, the young child Shirou was adopted by a man named Kiritsugu Emiya, who informed little Shirou that he was a magus. Shirou begged to learn magecraft from the man who saved him, and despite initial refusal, eventually taught Shirou very basic magecraft, as well as passing on his ideal to become a superhero to Shirou. Fast forward several years, and the high-schooler Shirou finds himself embroiled in a amgical war between magi, summoning Servants to fight for the Holy Grail. After inadvertently summoning a Servant of the Saber class, Shirou joined forces with Tohsaka Rin and her Servant known as Archer in order to see through to the end of the War. For various reasons, Shirou and Archer did not get along well at all, but somehow, Shirou was able to somehow absorb combat ability of this servant, and drastically improve his own techniques. Shirou and Rin were able to survive the war, destroying the Holy Grail in the process with the help of Saber and Archer, who disappeared soon after the battle. Nowadays Shirou, Rin and Saber are living together happily. [/list] [list] [*][b]Personality:[/b] As someone who promised to be a "hero of justice", Shirou is self-sacrificing to a fault and desires to save everyone in the world. Thanks to his experiences, he's come to realise how impossible this ideal is, but refuses to give up on his goals regardless, and instead strives to fulfil his dream in spite of reality. Shirou can be ridiculously stubborn too, to the point of madness sometimes. Even if everyone else is against him, Shirou will not waverin his resolve, for better or worse. As expected of someone striving to be a hero, Shirou is virutally unable to not help someone. Stemming from his survivors guilt, Shirou feels that his own needs are worthless when compared to others', and has no qualms about severely injuring himself if it's for the sake of someone else.
