[hider=Master] [list] [*][b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Kishinami Hakuno [*][b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 17 [*][b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Female [*][b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] [url=http://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2841795]Totally Formal Wear[/url] [*][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] One who, at first, seems a tad bland and aimless; she claims to have no hobbies or interests, appears to have no interest in the arts, and is even rather uncreative when it comes to spell applications. A lot of this stems from poor social skills: Unused to speaking with strangers for a prolonged period of time, Hakuno generally interacts as 'safely' as possible, carefully choosing her responses to cause the least amount of trouble possible. Though if she's given a chance to warm to someone, she unintentionally begins to show a sillier side to her thought processes. She's a fair bit more cheerful and air-headed than she appears. Hakuno is unfortunately lacking in self-esteem, however. Given her relatively underwhelming potential as a magus, and her current situation, she can have a tough time keeping herself upbeat. This is another aspect she tries to keep hidden, yet lets slip amongst... whoever could count as a friend during a grail war. She also lacks what most may consider vital: Ruthlessness. As tactically-unsound as it may be, Hakuno would very much prefer to avoid killing her opponents, or at least fellow Masters. Because what are the odds a defeated, living opponent could come back to bite her? One of Hakuno's strongest traits is probably her stubbornness. No matter how discouraged or ill-advised her action, if Hakuno has decided on a course of action, she'll stick to it. This tends to lead her into trouble more often than not, but hey, she hasn't died yet! [/list] [list] [*][b][u]Skills:[/u][/b] [*]Hakuno has a surprising knack for using and deciphering Mystic Codes. A mere glance at one in action is enough for her to deduce many of its' properties, and has little trouble in figuring out how to use them, or at least the intended function if it's somehow too unwieldly for her. [/list] [list] [*][b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] [*][i]Element: Air[/i] - Like most of her family, Hakuno has an affinity for the Air element. Unlike most of her family, she isn't too well-versed in anything but the most basic of spells. Fortunately(-ish), her family's true specialisation hasn't escaped her grasp. [*][i]Invoked Censor[/i] - This ability is a masking spell, of sorts. It doesn't make her invisible, just so thoroughly unremarkable and forgettable that you subconsciously erase her face from memory immediately after seeing her. This effect only strengthens in larger crowds, though Hakuno lacks the skill and expertise to properly combat any spying tactics that could see through her spell. Stronger magi could also potentially see through the trickery in a short amount of time, as well. [/list] [list] [*][b][u]Brief Backstory:[/u][/b] The latest in line of a relatively young magus family, and... decidedly one of their weakest, Hakuno has spent a lot of her childhood studying for the sake of her lineage. Unfortunately, her parents always saw her as lacking direly, and more likely to bring their line to a dead end. As much as Hakuno disliked the immense expectation and pressure placed upon her, she saw it as her duty to do whatever she could to continue the bloodline, if only at least until she could produce a suitable heir. Her mother passed away when she was still a child, and her father died in a traffic accident only a few years ago. Despite her disdain for the life she'd lead to that point, she kept to her studies and training in a desperate effort to uphold the family name. Perhaps the pressure did get to her after all, as she turned to the power of miracles to grant her a wish: With the holy grail, surely she could become a powerful magus and secure her family's lineage, right? Maybe her descendants could be happier, or become a prestigious magus family, if all she had to do was win this conflict... [/list] [/hider] [hider=Lancer] [list] [*]Name: Guan Yu [*]Class: Lancer [*]Appearance: [url=http://i.imgur.com/7xS6o0V.jpg]Behold the God of Beards[/url] [*]Personality: A man of honour and virtue, who fights for the weak, in service of the just and benevolent. Offering due respect to friend and foe alike, Guan Yu will not tarnish his honour with underhanded tactics in a duel. Any debts accrued shall be repaid in kind, for better or worse - it'd be kind of crappy for him to cut down his foe, if that same person had spared his life before. As a man renowned for his military feats, it's probably no surprise he can be strict with battle tactics, and will expect nothing more than everyone's utmost and fight their hardest to achieve victory. Outside of battle, Guan is surprisingly relaxed and even jovial. While not quite the drinker his brother was known to be, he certainly won't say no to some good wine, and tends to reminisce about raising his kids, journeying with his brothers across China, and how amazing Red Hare is. Try not to let him ramble on about the horse, it's an ironically slow and long tale. [/list] [list] [b]Stats:[/b] [*]Strength: B [*]Endurance: A [*]Agility: D [*]Mana: E [*]Luck: C [*]Noble Phantasm: C [/list] [list] [b]Class Skills:[/b] [*]Magic Resistance: C [/list] [list] [b]Personal Skills:[/b] [*]Divinity: D – Although not of a divine lineage, Guan Yu has been deified after death, seen as both a god of war, and a god of brotherhood. [*]Instinct: B – Guan's extensive experience in combat allows him to predict his opponents' most optimal course of attack. However, this effect weakens against multiple opponents, and effectiveness is halved against ranged opponents. [*]Peach Garden's Oath: A - A skill that is inactive, unless Guan and his master swear an earnest oath of kinship. Otherwise, whilst in combat, Guan's stats are increased by one Rank, excluding Noble Phantasms. [/list] [list] [b]Noble Phantasm(s):[/b] [*]Name: [i]Green Dragon Crescent Blade - Wrath of the God of War[/i] [*]Rank: C [*]Type: Anti-Unit [*]Appearance: [url=http://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/13000332/images/lp-9128_1.jpg]Base appearance[/url]. When 'active', the blade of the weapon is covered in several blue-green dragon scales. [*]Effects: Scales slowly grow on the blade of the guan dao, which can be launched as powerful projectiles with each swing; these scales can also be guided by gusts of wind that Guan can create with his powerful strikes as well. A side-function of these scales makes the blade much tougher to break, unless an anti-dragon Noble Phantasm strikes it. [/list] [list] [*]Name: [i]To Uphold One's Oath[/i] [*]Rank: C [*]Type: Anti Unit, Bounded Field [*]Appearance: N/A [*]Effects: A Noble Phantasm that recreates the event when Guan Yu defended his sworn brother's wife as he left Cao Cao's service. Although it's unknown as to whether or not this actually happened, Guan Yu is able to emulate the conditions of that scenario. By defending his Master in a specific location, Guan Yu's parameters increase greatly when combating enemy units, while also reducing enemy parameters, providing a powerful defence... or at least a costly last stand for the opponent.
