Relatively speaking, Tokiomi was high tier compared to the others.
Compared to the others, sure. He was shit on the overall scale, though. That's pretty much the Tohsaka's theme.

Kariya probably had better potential as a magus than Tokiomi, by far. Considering Uncle Kariya would've been perfectly fine with a non serker Lancelot, the man had some serious potential. He just didn't have the proper experience or abilities as a magus, and Zouken also trolled him for Zouken reasons.
In terms of potential, he was probably the second strongest magus in the war, behind Kayneth. Kayneth was easily better than the others in potential and magus capability and such. The worst was probably Waver, because he does sort of suck, though I guess technically he's equal to Kiritsugu on the magus scale. That isn't saying much.
Eitherway Tokiomi was pretty bad, he just had a good work ethic and trained and trained to make up for being bad. Ironically enough in a way he embodies Wavers ideas more than Waver despite being a conservative Magus.

Name: William Henry "The Kid" McCarty, Noted Desperado of the Southwest
Class: Archer
Gender: Male
Appearance: "Bang."
Birth and Death Dates: Late 1861/Early 1862 AD - July 14, 1881 AD
Alignment: True Neutral
Personality: Archer is... not the person that Western films and American folklore make him out to be. He's no cold-blooded killer with a temper who goes around killing randoms and committing crimes to get his jollies. He's actually quite a jovial sort, very straightforward and always trying to find the humor in everything. Even in the most serious situations he can still find something to joke about while keeping his wits about him. He's also surprisingly dependable for an Archer-class. Definitely an individual loyal to those he cares about, but also the type who possesses a stubborn attitude that never gives up and doesn't always heed the advice of his friends and allies. Surprisingly enough, even though he fights pragmatically and viciously, he doesn't actually prefer fighting. However, it's worked for him his whole life and it's the only thing he really knows. Don't fix what ain't broke.
Legend: A legendary outlaw and gunslinger from the 19th century American Old West. The oft exaggerated accounts of his exploits immortalized him into the annals of American legend. He was born to an Irish immigrant in New York, and spent his childhood moving around the southern US territories before settling in Silver City. He was an easygoing, well-behaved child who enjoyed reading dime novels and was always willing to help with chores. His peers described him as "just an ordinary boy who was just a little mischievous". Because of his small stature and girlish looks he was often placed into precarious situations with people bigger and stronger than him, even later in his life.
After his mother died, William was abandoned by his step-father and forced to earn his keep working at a hotel owned by his neighbors. His time as an honest worker ended there. He took to odd jobs and petty crime to survive from then on, but was eventually arrested for a crime he didn't commit and escaped prison to flee to Arizona. He became the apprentice to horse thief for a short while, before eventually leaving Arizona after shooting a man who had been attacking him. He participated in the Lincoln County War in his time in New Mexico, and lived by gambling and horse rustling while running from both the law and his enemies. He was finally caught, but escaped prison once again. Despite his crimes - both truly and falsely accused - he was much beloved by the communities he passed through, and even seen as a defender of the people. To avoid conflict, he often would use his Billy the Kid persona and reputation to intimidate and dissuade any potential attackers and avoid violence. However his notoriety finally caught up to him, and Billy the Kid met his end in an ambush set up by Pat Garrett and his squad of lawmen while trying to save his lover.
Weapon: Archer primarily wields a pair of dusty Colt revolvers that fire off bullets formed from prana which normally inflict damage equivalent to STR. In addition Archer is equipped with a large knife and rope strong enough to affect Servants.

Noble Phantasm(s)
Name: Fastest Gun in the West
Title: Showdown at High Noon
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 10 - 50
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
A Noble Phantasm that embodies the closely related concepts of the duel at high noon and the quick draw, 'a battle won by shooting before the enemy' and 'the act of shooting before the enemy can act'. It costs an obscenely low amount of prana to use, but requires one of two conditions to be met in order to activate: either combat has just been initiated or a Noble Phantasm has simultaneously been activated. It allows Archer to always shoot first and hit. No matter how fast the opponent can strike, Archer will have struck before them and even cancelled their action if the result of this Noble Phantasm would render them unable to act. Damage dealt is equivalent to Rank-Up STR, however Archer can choose where his attack will land. Should the enemy succeed both a LCK and AGI check, then the Noble Phantasm will fail, only succeeding one such check though will mean the Noble Phantasm still succeeds, but that Archer’s aim is made to be slightly off. Additionally, if this Noble Phantasm is activated at high noon, the effect of a “certain kill” will be applied should the attack succeed, and success of enemy saving throws will be halved.

Name: Yulia Vi Mitzenhoff
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Birthday: 04/01/1978
Personality: Focused, serious, and calculating. She tries to keep her thinking composed and rational, but she's quite prideful and takes offense easily; once her pride's been hurt she can become very childish and petty, and hold a grudge for a long time. Like many students of the Atlas Academy, she doesn't get along well with most magi of the Clocktower.
-Height: 168cm / 5'6"-
-Weight: 64 kg / 142 lbs-
Biography and Family History: The Mitzenhoff family have studied alchemy since the 17th century, when the family founder Deitrich Von Mitzenhoff was drawn into the practice upon acquiring a collection of rare books. The books themselves held little practical knowledge, but where enough to instill in Deitrich a powerful curiousity. Curiousity became obsession, and he eventually brokered a connection with the Prague Association. Dietrich spent his life refining an understanding of modern alchemy in Prague. As the family's proficiency grew they also became more worldly, becoming acquainted with the other branches of the Mage's Association. These two factors led to a gulf in ideology between Dietrich and the family's second head, Gunther, which ended in Gunther leaving Prague to join the Atlas Academy two hundred and forty years ago.
Since then, the Mitzenhoff family has maintained their ties to the Atlas Academy, producing alchemists of varying quality. Yulia will be the family's fifth head, and is considered the most promising talent the family has yet produced. Still, the bloodline is weak by most magus' standards and Yulia possesses sub-par circuits in both quality and quantity. At Atlas, where lineage and magical circuits hold comparatively less weight, Yulia has earned recognition and praise for her quick, thorough, and inventive mind. Much of Yulia's professional life has consisted in and out of having her service lent under Atlas' contracts.
In 1999, one such period of contracted work had her assisting the Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament in analyzing questionable relics. It was at that time that she gained access to certain records detailing the Fuyuki Holy Grail, which piqued her scholarly interest. Throughout the next six years Yulia collected extensive data on the past Holy Grail Wars and the Grail War system, and through deductive reasoning understands the current state of the grail's corruption to a certain extent. Despite knowing of the Grail's flawed wish granting, Yulia has an interest in the Corrupted Grail's content: the 'mud'.
With the war approaching, Yulia made her way to Japan with the intent of participating. In truth she would have been satisfied even if she were only able to observe throughout the Grail War, but the proof of her being a master appeared shortly after when the command seals manifested on her hand. Despite not truly wanting a wish on the Grail, her goal requires the War to reach its climax without issue. To that end she intends to 'win' the war.

Lion's Cradle
The Lion's Cradle began as a proof of concept about using prana during the smelting, alloying, and working of metals to manipulate ductility and rigidity. Necessity had Yulia refine the Cradle into a practical weapon instead. The Cradle is a two-part assembly of gloves and wires. The wires are an alloy of adamantine and titanium that's been drawn to a diameter of 2 microns, but have retained an incredible tensile and shear strength. More importantly, the wires react to certain electrical signals. A certain frequency causes the wire's cross section to deform and flatten, changing it from a 'wire' to a 'ribbon'. The width of the ribbon's flattened surface is about 6 microns wide, but the cutting edges are flattened to a small fraction of a micron wide. Similarly to how the cross section can be manipulated, the rigidity of different segments of the wire can be modulated by combinations of electrical signals. This allows the wires' user a greater degree of control, though gross movements still have to be controlled manually. The key to the Lion's Cradle are the gloves, sewn from mithril thread, which have contacts made from thunderbolt iron embedded in them. Passing prana through the contact generates a low-level electrical current, which in turn passes down filliments in the glove and into the wires. The electrical current is not enough to use for direct attack, but is plenty to create the signals needed to manipulate the wires.

He got elevated to Father of Light, but he was quarter-Divine initially if I recall correctly. He's banned for a different reason though.
And no, Phonic's playing both, so Lancer's the only one who Rayneth can't be paired with, in fact. Tatsua's free to partner with Cu, if Phonic agrees.

Name: Elena Lupei
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Birthday: 08/08/88
Personality: If anything can be known of Elena's personality and motives, it's that she cares little for what others expect of her. She will always do things her own way, and seeks her own path through life regardless of what hardships she must face along the way. Elena is participating in the Holy Grail War in order to prove herself to her father, and also in order to achieve her childish wish.
Biography & Family History: When Elena was born, everybody around her rejoiced at what she would become. Her father, who was late in his years, was relieved when his young wife delivered him the perfect child, one who could inherit everything he had worked to preserve and perfect in his lifetime. He passed on his Magic Crest, and began teaching his daughter the ways of the Magus from a very young age. Soon enough, she was truly geared to be the Lupei family's successor.
Elena took great enjoyment from her early childhood, whether she was sitting on her grandfather's lap, or staying up late to read from her father's books. Just following the passing of her grandfather, her father began to take even more interest in his daughter's life, meaning that she was rarely allowed even a moment outside of her father's view. He loved her dearly, that was sure, but he also envied her for being born with more talent than him. Because of this, he was often harsh with her when she slacked on her studies, and couldn't abide by her doing anything he thought was outside of her duties.
Soon enough, however, she began to develop somewhat of a rebellious streak, spurred on by her secretly budding friendship with one of the family maids. When her father found out about this relationship, Elena snapped and they got into their first ever argument. In the aftermath of this argument, Elena essentially kicked her father out of the house, leaving her to study magecraft on her own from then on.
The Lupei Family is not the most ancient of Magus Families, its members have generally not cared much for politics and when it comes to secret arts, theirs is hardly awe-inspiring. However, there is a bit of reputation surrounding their family, relating to the favoured occupation of its members. Since its founding, Magi of the Lupei Family have devoted their lives to two causes. The development and protection of the family's secret arts, and the hunting of vampires. For this purpose, each successor to the Family's will has become an Enforcer except for one, Elena's grandfather. The family's history goes back six generations.
Origin & Elemental Affinity: Elena's Origin is Resistance, and her Elemental Affinity is Wind.
Number of Magic Circuits: C
Quality of Magic Circuits: C~
Magic Circuit Switch: A whistling tea kettle.
Prana Tank: B
Magecraft:
Resistance: Elena is in possession of an abnormally high resistance to "status conditions", which is often jokingly attributed to her stubborn nature. Rather than a skill, this is a natural ability of hers that resists influence from external forces. Possibly related to her similar resistance to natural mental interference, such as fear, confusion or pressure.
General Magecraft: If you don't know what this is, you should probably go back and read the opening post.
Presence Concealment: Allows for hiding one's presence from others, including the application of illusions and other trickery to prevent discovery through the use of the conventional five senses. Most of Elena's predecessors have been proficient with this kind of magecraft, and its blueprint is the most complete of all the spells in her Crest.
Boundary Field Creation: The creation of higher level Boundary Fields, Such as: One that turns away non-magus individuals, one that prevents long-ranged communication, one that provides protection against attacks and one that blocks out all external light. Also represents the caster's ability to create Boundary Fields on a higher level than others, including making their Boundaries very difficult to detect.
Reinforcement: Basic strengthening of objects, not quite on the level of reinforcing living things or one's own body. Still, Elena's natural talent allows her to use this magic consistently, even if it isn't to the highest level of mastery.
Wind Magecraft: Elena most commonly employs the Wind Element to enhance her movement and give herself an edge over less mobile opponents, allowing her to effectively make use of her Mystic Code to achieve victory. She possesses a rapid-movement technique which provides her or an object with linear acceleration, allowing them to make incredible jumps or boost away from dangerous attacks. This can be used to cancel out falls and land safely, although this requires quick thinking to be applied effectively. She can use both a radar-like technique that seeks out and identifies targets, and a technique to temporarily jam enemy's senses using a whirlwind of air and magical "noise". Contained in her family's crest are a handful of other Wind spells that could be situationally useful, such as one that fires a controllable arrow of wind, one that uses a swathe of air that slows movement and one that affects noise (either blocking it out or transmitting it in a different manner.)
Nostalgic Air: A little something of Elena's Grandfather's creation, which programs general purpose "Air" familiars able to complete complicated series of actions based on the user's instructions. The familiar itself is barely physical, able to move as if it were a gust of wind and infiltrate places that ordinary familiars would never be able to. This was formed from the basics of Seeking Air, one of their family's specialties, and is an exceptionally powerful magecraft on its own. By directly supplementing the familiar's body with additional magecraft, the caster can allow it to lift and manipulate objects, provide information on its surroundings despite not having eyes or ears, and even transmit the caster's voice, appearance or touch across long distances.
However, because the familiar lacks much in the way of a physical body, its activities are easily disrupted by direct physical or magical attacks, causing it to disperse and become disabled. On the plus side, even when disrupted the familiar is still "alive", and can reform at the caster's command to resume duties when the danger has left. Magecraft can "kill" this familiar, but only those meant to harm it.
Presence Concealment: Allows for hiding one's presence from others, including the application of illusions and other trickery to prevent discovery through the use of the conventional five senses. Most of Elena's predecessors have been proficient with this kind of magecraft, and its blueprint is the most complete of all the spells in her Crest.
Boundary Field Creation: The creation of higher level Boundary Fields, Such as: One that turns away non-magus individuals, one that prevents long-ranged communication, one that provides protection against attacks and one that blocks out all external light. Also represents the caster's ability to create Boundary Fields on a higher level than others, including making their Boundaries very difficult to detect.
Reinforcement: Basic strengthening of objects, not quite on the level of reinforcing living things or one's own body. Still, Elena's natural talent allows her to use this magic consistently, even if it isn't to the highest level of mastery.
Wind Magecraft: Elena most commonly employs the Wind Element to enhance her movement and give herself an edge over less mobile opponents, allowing her to effectively make use of her Mystic Code to achieve victory. She possesses a rapid-movement technique which provides her or an object with linear acceleration, allowing them to make incredible jumps or boost away from dangerous attacks. This can be used to cancel out falls and land safely, although this requires quick thinking to be applied effectively. She can use both a radar-like technique that seeks out and identifies targets, and a technique to temporarily jam enemy's senses using a whirlwind of air and magical "noise". Contained in her family's crest are a handful of other Wind spells that could be situationally useful, such as one that fires a controllable arrow of wind, one that uses a swathe of air that slows movement and one that affects noise (either blocking it out or transmitting it in a different manner.)
Nostalgic Air: A little something of Elena's Grandfather's creation, which programs general purpose "Air" familiars able to complete complicated series of actions based on the user's instructions. The familiar itself is barely physical, able to move as if it were a gust of wind and infiltrate places that ordinary familiars would never be able to. This was formed from the basics of Seeking Air, one of their family's specialties, and is an exceptionally powerful magecraft on its own.

On the plus side, even when disrupted the familiar is still "alive", and can reform at the caster's command to resume duties when the danger has left. Magecraft can "kill" this familiar, but only those meant to harm it.
Mystic Code & Equipment:
The Five Demon Hunting Stakes: Part of a set of seven stakes, designed for hunting and eliminating vampires. While Elena does not possess the entire set, and there are unlikely to be any vampires involved with the Holy Grail war, they still serve as effective weapons and their conceptual effect could possibly come in handy against strange abilities or opponents. Each of the Seven Stakes are Conceptual Weapons (or more accurately, the entire set of seven is a single weapon split into seven pieces), and the first five belonging to Elena all serve the same purpose.
The Five that Elena possesses have the ability to apply the affect of "Grounding", which anchors a fragment of the enemy to the stake when it is activated. This anchored fragment remains grounded to the physical plane for as long as the stake is "active", which is until the stake is called back to the user or until there is no longer a fragment to be grounded. When grounded in this manner, abnormal escape techniques become impossible, and the stake itself becomes impossible to remove using conventional means. Because the stake shares a connection with the wielder and cannot be removed, the owner is always able to sense the stake's location as long as it is within a certain range, which is enough that Elena could sense it anywhere within the proximity of Fuyuki City, no matter where she was within or nearby.
While this effect isn't exceptionally useful against ordinary individuals, the stakes can still be used as ordinary weapons in a pinch, and still prove extremely effective. Because they are weapons meant to strike superhuman vampires, they are quite difficult to avoid when used in conjunction with Elena's magecraft. Fuelled by her prana, they are able to move linearly at extreme speeds and change directions in an instant to strike opponents unexpectedly. They cannot, however, seek out opponents on their own, and require very precise manipulation in order to strike accurately. As fast as they are, they can be quite predictable in certain scenarios, and can only move in a limited number of bursts before they must return to her or sink into an opponent.

-Lupei's Silver Knife: A knife that serves as a simple amplifier for the user's power, and can also cut a bitch when necessary.
-Grandfather's Watch: A simple charm in the form of a watch, containing a spell that reacts to a very specific kind of presence. Seemingly broken, but starts to tick when somebody of an Evil alignment is within 20 meters, with the speed of the ticking indicating proximity.
Non-Magecraft Related Skills:
-Skilled Cooking & Cleaning: Skills learned from a friend of Elena's, who was a maid. The friend thought that learning these skills were above her, but Elena insisted.
-Marksman: Although she can't use a gun or bow, Elena is quite accurate with thrown projectiles, and is able to usually guide her targets to their mark without much difficulty.

He got elevated to Father of Light, but he was quarter-Divine initially if I recall correctly. He's banned for a different reason though. And no, Phonic's playing both, so Lancer's the only one who Rayneth can't be paired with, in fact. Tatsua's free to partner with Cu, if Phonic agrees.Awawa, sorry. The list has been up since a few posts into the Interest Check, so a pretty decent stretch of time. Also, every Servant slot is kinda taken, so...
Eh I didn't even plan to participate, just random stalking, and I would have made a Master then anyways.
E: I used this scrub Lugh sheet in a Fate RP on Guild once and that is far below what he is actually capable of, dem artefact collecting.

Tatsua, you're good to go.
Sky, yeah, Lugh can be ridiculous. Mainly through BB's loopholes, but even without those he's still ridiculous. The Celts and the Hindus are great at designing broken stuff.

Anyone wishing to partner up with one of my characters, feel free to shoot me a PM.

BB and Sakaki are saying their apps will be up by Sunday. I'm saying that here because I know there's a good chance that this actually won't be the case, in the hopes that this will somewhat incentivize them accordingly. It's because I care, you two.

Yeah, that seems fair. Just to be 100% clear, though, this means that someone who made both a Master and a Servant can't pair them up?

Correct. Playing both members of a pair is A. boring and B. unfairly advantageous.
Dang, I showed up to this rp to late.
