[@Moonlit Sonata] Alrighty, here's my 2 apps for this, let me know if any changes need to be done. [hider=Master profile: Xavier Ainsworth] Name: Xavier Ainsworth Gender: Male Age: 21 Personality: Quite intelligent, educated and possessing fine manners, yet also humble and soft-spoken. Xavier enjoys simplicity and efficiency above all else, and will always strive to solve his problems in the quickest and simplest way possible, even if continuing to work his way around loopholes would’ve been easier. Despite his wealthy upbringing, he’s not one for extravagance or flaunting his wealth on the less fortunate. While he enjoys expensive suits, he could just as easily dress casually if it proves more efficient in a situation. He is also a terrible liar, since he believes it’s simpler to just say the truth; If he finds you boring, he will tell you with no restraint or hesitation. The only thing he’s ever dishonest about is his “curse”, and even that stems more from his desire to protect others from himself. [hider=Appearance][img]http://safebooru.org//images/1087/c0631db54672898556e1c1c3519e627bced23717.png?1128335[/img][/hider] Biography: Xavier Ainsworth showed much promise as a successor-in-the-making and was heralded as a child prodigy, particularly displaying a natural talent in the family’s specialty - the displacement magecraft known as Flash Air - that became apparent even during the earliest stages of his training as a fledgling magus. Tragedy struck the Ainsworth household when the head of the family - Xavier’s father - committed suicide after being driven mad by the “Ainsworth curse”. With no other living relatives capable of succeeding him, Xavier became one of the youngest heads in the Ainsworth family’s extensive history, at age 16. Unfortunately, the moment he became the head of the family, he also found out first-hand what being afflicted by the “Ainsworth curse” really felt like; Xavier’s appearance would change into that of Darius Ainsworth - the first head of the family - and his demeanor changed from a polite, good-intentioned individual into a bipolar, maniacal, evil genius. However, the young magus refused to let even such a twisted curse set him back. Knowing that he would eventually be afflicted by the same curse as his predecessors, Xavier had created an anti-magic serum in advance, which allowed him to suppress the curse and live life as his normal self, provided that he would continue to inject himself with the substance on a regular basis. The downside to this makeshift solution was that the serum also suppressed Xavier’s own innate magical talent, which degraded him from a brilliant prodigy among his peers, to a mostly unnoteworthy, kind of lackluster magus. However, if it meant keeping his own personality, that was a sacrifice the Ainsworth heir was more than willing to make… at least until a better, more permanent solution to his problem was found. And a solution did indeed come to him, or rather an opportunity presented itself: The Holy Grail War. While participating in such a crude sport full of backstabbing and foul play felt pretty quaint, Xavier was a man of efficiency above all else; The omnipotent wish-granting capability of the Holy Grail was without a doubt a simple, straight-forward, yet also surefire way to get rid of his family’s dreadful curse once and for all. And so, the young Ainsworth head took off for Fuyuki City, Japan, determined to finally put an end to the curse that caused his father to take his own life. Family History: Unlike their counterparts from [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/kaleid_liner_PRISMA%E2%98%86ILLYA]another World[/url], this version of the Ainsworth family never developed Class Cards or counterfeit Noble Phantasms, nor did they ever have a premonition of “the World’s collapse”. Instead, they peacefully kept practicing their magecraft and keeping their bloodline going, like most mage families do. The AInsworth family has a long and extensive history, its foundation dating back nearly a thousand years. Their work seems to be mostly focused on the all too common goal of reaching The Root, however the selfish aspirations of the family’s founder - whose “ghost” continues to haunt the Ainsworth family’s heads to this day - can often become a hindrance towards that goal. Origin: Change Elemental Affinity: Wind Number of Magic Circuits: B Quality of Magic Circuits: A Od: C Magecraft: [list] [*] General Magecraft: Everything listed in the OP. [*] Flash Air: The type of displacement magecraft that the Ainsworth family have been practicing for nearly a thousand years. Displacing a portion of space can place hostile projectiles behind the enemy, allow for their own projectiles to change trajectory by shifting space, allow for them to have their limbs appear anywhere, and make their enemy's own attacks hit them from behind. By changing door and window relations, one can even rearrange entire building layouts with this technique, while even displacing the soul and consciousness of others into a different body is possible. However, because those last two spells would require much higher concentration, cast time and Mana expenditure, they’re all but useless in a combat situation. [*] Conceptual Replacement: A curse placed upon all successors of the Ainsworth family by the first head of the family, [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Darius_Ainsworth]Darius Ainsworth[/url]. Once active, the accursed will gain Darius Ainsworth’s physical appearance and psychotic personality. Even though they will address themselves as “Darius Ainsworth”, they still retain their own knowledge and memories. Xavier is normally able to suppress that curse by frequently injecting himself with an anti-magic serum of his own design. However, the serum also limits his own capability as a magus, weakening his Flash Air and other types of magecraft. Should the curse be reactivated, Xavier’s magecraft will become stronger, at the cost of him turning into a raving, diabolical, child-spanking psychopath. [*] Wind Magecraft: Basic wind manipulation and wind-based magics. Xavier can create miniature tornadoes or spherical gusts of wind, which he can then send at many different directions at once thanks to his Flash Air magecraft. [*] Reinforcement: Xavier can apply Reinforcement to weapons or other inanimate objects, as well as his own body - such as strengthening his body to withstand attacks, or Reinforcing his eyes to receive a pseudo-Clairvoyance level of perception, though obviously much lower than a Servant’s. Cannot Reinforce living beings other than himself. [*] Healing Magecraft: Allows for much quicker healing of wounds or ailments than through normal means by accelerating the body’s healing factor and the regeneration of cells and tissues. May heal statuses such as Poison. Time and Mana expenditure needed are based on the severity of the wound or ailment. [/list] Equipment: [list] [*] Mystic Code - Darius’ Ring: The Mystic Code passed down from one head of the Ainsworth family to the next. It is a silver ring with a skull on it, originally worn by the family’s founder, Darius Ainsworth. While worn on one’s finger, it acts as an Amplifier to their Flash Air magecraft, thus making up somewhat for Xavier’s voluntary weakening of the skill. Much like Darius has put a curse on all of his descendants, his Ring too is cursed; A strange kind of persistent displacement curse will cause the Ring to teleport back to its owner, even if they had thrown it away, tossed it in the ocean, or otherwise misplaced it or attempted to get rid of it. [*] A week’s supply of syringes containing his homebrewed anti-magic serum for his personal use, along with the ingredients to produce more should the need arise. [*] Enough funds to live lavishly throughout the entirety of the War. The Ainsworth’s are an illustrious family, after all. Luckily, Xavier is quite the modest spender, so it’s unlikely that he would unwittingly betray his status as a wealthy magus by drawing too much attention to his monetary status. [*] Various sets of clothes, ranging from fine suits, to more casual wear (for when he wants to draw less attention to himself). [*] Various books on magecraft, as well as study materials pertaining to the Holy Grail War (common information, such as how the Summoning ritual works, how Servant contracts work, etc, no information on the War’s “true purpose”). [*] A map of Fuyuki City, along with a small Japanese dictionary of basic terms to be able to communicate with the locals to some degree. [/list] Skills: Less-than-average cook, surprisingly efficient at cleaning and other housekeeping duties, basic education in non-magi subjects, above-average intelligence, great at memorizing information, fast learner, some knowledge of chemistry that he applied when inventing his anti-magic serum. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Servant profile: Female Caster] [hider=Name][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_jewels#Later_references]Princess Tamatori[/url][/hider] Class: Caster Gender: Female [hider=Appearance][img]http://safebooru.org//samples/1914/sample_9314b4a58b90ed8c93afe37c1385c1b5c3886900.jpg?1996352[/img][/hider] Alignment: Neutral Good [hider=Personality] Has the constitution of a model Japanese housewife; Devoted, caring, well-mannered, but also dedicated and fierce when it comes to protecting her loved ones. She may develop a strange relationship with her Master, switching back and forth between acting like a nurturing mother figure to them, or a faithful lover of sorts. Ultimately, she is a very loyal Servant who will gladly fulfil any of her master's wishes, though she may still hesitate to needlessly harm innocents. She has a fascination with jewelery, specifically pearls, but the greatest treasure for her is family. Likes: Her family, pearls, consentual tentacle erotica Dislikes: Thieves, forced tentacle erotica Talents: Pearl diving, being a good housewife [/hider] [hider=History] Not a noble by birth, Tamatori originally made a living as a humble pearl diver during the Asuka period of Japan. Her luck would forever change when the Prince of the powerful Fujiwara clan visited her village in search of some valuable treasure that had been stolen from his father by Ryujin, the Dragon God of the Sea. Upon meeting the beautiful Tamatori, the Prince instantly fell in love and promptly asked for her hand in marriage, which the woman gladly accepted. Now a pearl diver turned into a Princess, Tamatori lived happily with her newfound husband, and even bore him a son. However, the Prince still felt regret and shame for not having found his family's stolen treasure yet. Because of her love for her husband and son, Princess Tamatori vowed that she would go and retrieve the Fujiwara clan's stolen treasure herself, no matter the cost. Thanks to her expert swimming capability due to having been a pearl diver, Tamatori was able to reach the undersea palace of Ryujin, and infiltrate it without being noticed. It was then that she found out exactly what the treasure that the Dragon God had stolen was; The Tide-Controlling Jewel, a magical pearl said to be able to manipulate the tides to the holder's will. Tamatori sang a beautiful song that lulled the Dragon God and his sea monster minions into a deep sleep, then snatched the pearl and made her escape. It didn't take long, however, for Ryujin and his aquatic armies to wake up and start pursuing the thief. In a last ditch effort, Tamatori used her sword to slice her own breast open and hide the pearl inside. Upon the pearl being implanted into her body, Tamatori felt its incredible magical power course through her, as her very body mutated on the spot; The power of Ryujin turned her into a sea monster with tentacles instead of hair. Now possessing higher strength and speed than a regular human, Tamatori was able to swim fast enough to evade her pursuers and reach the shore safely. Unfortunately, she had already suffered severe blood loss, and she ended up giving in to her wound. She didn't mind dying though; She had brought back the pearl, just as she had promised. And so, Princess Tamatori died with a warm smile on her face, knowing that her husband and son would be proud of her. Who knows, maybe in another life she could see them again... [/hider] [hider=Weapon(s)]A short wakizashi-style sword, a flask of water to aid her Water Element magecraft.[/hider] [hider=Parameters] STR: D→B (Rank-Up applied only while her version of Monstrous Strength is active) CON: D AGI: B→A (Rank-Up applied only while she’s underwater) MGI: C LCK: C [/hider] Class Skills: [hider=Item Construction: C]The ability to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Tamatori’s usage of this Skill is limited to the creation of various jewelery made from pearls, which can grant their bearer minor magical effects. Even that stems more from her past as a pearl diver than her aptitude as a magus.[/hider] [hider=Territory Creation: C-]Builds a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Known for having been a devoted and caring housewife in life, Tamatori can create a cozy, family-like environment for her Master that is the very definition of “home sweet home”.[/hider] Personal Skills: [hider=Alluring Nightingale: B+]A mesmerizing-kind of Skill possessed by those with a beautiful natural voice. Tamatori’s beauty was enough to cause a Prince to fall in love with her and marry her, while her singing voice was beautiful enough for her to lull the Dragon God Ryujin and his grotesque minions into a deep sleep, allowing her to steal the Tide-Controlling Jewel. Her singing acts as a charm-like magecraft that can put opponents to sleep, but evasion is possible by means of a Magic Resistance Skill. Its effectiveness is boosted when used on opponents that are monsters, or opponents that possess monstrous traits.[/hider] [hider=Monstrous Strength (Sea): B]Tamatori’s version of the Monstrous Strength Skill comes from her inserting the Tide-Controlling Jewel into her body, which passed on a sliver of the Dragon God Ryujin’s power to her. As a result, her body has mutated into a sea monster possessing both human and octopus traits. While active, her Strength parameter is drastically raised. Having been a pearl diver in life, she is an expert swimmer with a high lung capacity, both traits that have been greatly enhanced thanks to this Skill. Agility parameter also receives a Rank-Up, but only while she’s underwater.[/hider] [hider=Oath to a Loved One: B]A Skill that denotes one’s unfaltering determination to fulfil a promise made to a loved one. Tamatori vowed to her husband that she would retrieve the Tide-Controlling Jewel, which she did, even at the cost of her own life. If Tamatori makes a promise to somebody she has a strong bond with, she will do anything in her power to fulfil that promise. It is possible for the user to shift Luck checks in her favor, while also having a small chance to miraculously evade attacks directed at her, remove status conditions or debuffs from herself, and in very rare cases, even survive an attack that would’ve otherwise been fatal to her with a minuscule amount of health left.[/hider] Noble Phantasm(s): [hider=Noble Phantasm 1] Name: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_jewels]Ryujin-no-Shinju[/url] Title: Tide-Controlling Jewel of the Sea God Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Army Range: 1-50 Maximum Number of Targets: 1-200 Description: A magical pearl said to have been created by combining the Tide-Ebbing Jewel, Kanju, and the Tide-Flowing Jewel, Manju. The pearl was stolen from the Fujiwara clan by the Dragon God of the Sea, Ryujin. Tamatori vowed to help her husband, the Prince of the Fujiwara clan, by sneaking into the Dragon God’s undersea palace and retrieving the pearl. While being chased down by the Dragon God and his army of sea creatures, Tamatori cut open her own breast and placed the pearl inside for safekeeping. This allowed her to swim faster and escape, but she died from her wound soon after reaching the surface. By having implanted the Tide-Controlling Jewel into her body, not only has Tamatori mutated into a half-human, half-octopus sea monster with superior strength and swimming ability, but she has also gained access to new magical powers, heralding her newfound status as a "successor of the Sea God". Acting in a way similar to a Magic Crest, the pearl has carved special Magic Circuits into her body that she didn't previously possess, which makes her capable of practicing Water Element magecraft of the highest level. She can manipulate water to her will, use water as a form of attack, or generate streams of water to crush a single enemy. However, such magics are merely an artificial reenactment of the true power the Tide-Controlling Jewel grants its holder as one with absolute control over the tides and the sea itself. That power can only be invoked by Tamatori bringing the Tide-Controlling Jewel out her body, which is represented by one of the many tentacles making up her “hair” phasing through her own breast and pulling the pearl out. The pearl grants her access to much more advanced and powerful water-based magics than what her inherent Water Element magecraft can pull off. In the event that there is a large enough body of water nearby, complete manipulation of the tides by using the Tide-Controlling Jewel is possible, as well as creating a massive tsunami wave capable of washing away an entire army or naval fleet. Of course, the Mana cost for such a feat would be massive, and the Servant would certainly require support from her Master’s Magical Energy to even accomplish that. The tsunami takes a form similar to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa]The Great Wave Off Kanagawa[/url], a woodblock print made by the Japanese artist Hokusai, and one of the most recognizable works of Japanese art in the world.
