[b]Name[/b]: Fio Mal-Rai [b]Age[/b]: 23 [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Appearance[/b]: [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1126723]"Wanna take your chances with me?"[/url] [b]Personality[/b]: Fio is a cocky, arrogant young woman with a highly competitive streak and a strong drive to succeed. She ignores anyone telling her that she can't handle something, or that she can't take something on by herself, and judges what she can an can't do by herself rather then relying on the judgement of others. That being said, she is not totally ignorant of the fact that, say, most magi are entirely unable to take on a Servant by themselves. While knowing this limitation irritates her, she is not a fool and will not undertake a challenge she has no chance of winning. And yet, at the same time, she is a fool in the eyes of some, as she will instead try to work herself towards surmounting that obstacle. Even if it is something that most would say is insurmountable. In the eyes of some of her fellow magi at the Clock Tower, this is the behavior of a fool. But a useful fool. Fio has extreme confidence in her ability to take out other magi, and in this case she feels that she has no chance of defeat due to her experience in anti-magus combat. Fio has an aggressive personality and a highly social nature, and she has a high tendency to flirt. [b]Skills[/b]: Fio has a surprisingly high amount of training in hand-to-hand combat. Her skills, coupled with her magecraft, potentially allow her to attack Caster-class Servants in close range due to the latter's low amount of melee combat capabilities and low endurance and Fio's skill as an anti-magus fighter. Also, having learned a recipe from a Japanese corespondent, Fio maintains that she cooks a "mean teriyaki chicken". [b]Abilities[/b]: Fio's affinity is fire. Her number and quality of magic circuits is mid-range, neither particularly high nor particularly low. Her training in hand-to-hand combat combined with her magecraft gives her a brand of combat that hybridizes the techniques of a magus and the techniques of a fighter. Producing bounded fields and other such things for defensive purposes are a natural portion of her skillset as a magus of the Mal-Rai family, but her specializations allow for a more distinct method of battle then previous members of her family. However, no-one can say that Fio utilizes anything but the methods of practiced magus. Fio utilizes reinforcement combined with single to double action spells to pass prana in the form of flames through her hands and feet. This gives her kicks and punches a fiery, or even explosive quality(though adding the shotgun-like explosive quality requires more focus). Her spells are also aptly used in order to penetrate conventional magical defenses, disrupting barriers and in some cases, with enough set up time, bounded fields. While she is not as deadly as the legendary Magus Killer, she is a dangerous foe utilized by the Clock Tower to hunt down rogue elements who threaten the secrecy of magecraft. [b]Brief Backstory[/b]: Fio is the daughter of the Mal-Rai family. Not one of the eldest families, and yet not young enough to earn the scorn of their elders, the Mal-Rai family frequently made use of magecraft that passed prana through their bodies, emitting it as dangerous fireballs or other such hazardous elements. These spells were inherited by Fio when she gained their magic crest, and as she grew she realized the ideal application for such spells was in combination with hand-to-hand combat. She trained in various hand-to-hand techniques throughout her time in high school prior to her trip to London. Her education in the Clock Tower, while dry, was still a wealth of knowledge that she could further apply to her capabilities in order to make herself an efficient close-range magus. Her cocky attitude grew with her age, and many superiors in the Clock Tower at once believed she was a fool and yet that she was a useful fool. For not only had Fio trained herself in hand-to-hand combat, but she was also excelling in disrupting defensive magic. The magecraft that allowed her to do so was a relic of a conflict between the Mal-Rai family and another mage bloodline many years ago. Combined with her combative focus, this lead her naturally to being an anti-magus magus, an individual well-equipped for apprehending, or killing, magi who threatened the secrecy of magecraft. This lead to her employ as an officially sanctioned Magus Hunter. Fio was quite pleased with her position, feeling little more then contempt for those who would expose magecraft and act so haphazardly for their own gain. Her anti-magus capabilities made her a natural choice for the Clock Tower's representative in this new Grail War. After all, who better to defeat enemy Masters then someone specialized in combating them? If a pair has been decided, please post in the OOC so that I know and can place it in the list.
