[b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Looks][center][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/72/e9/be/72e9be06c064e7a603f71ca47e3f08b7.jpg[/img][/center] Jonathan is a man of 5'11 stature with a lithe body that can be noticed from its muscular tone that indicates some sort of extensive athleticism. With a tan on his skin that has tinted his previously pale skin that would indicate some time bathing under the rays of the sun. He possesses black hair that has some kind of gel applied in his hair to make it stand while having relatively dark brown eyes on his angular face. His symbol as a master can easily be noticed on his back should he be unclothed but remains relatively hidden under his clothing. Wearing most of the time casual clothes on himself for the occasion which are easy to replace in case anything happens to them. A particular habit of his is the range of jackets he possesses which he could wear one for each day of the week. [/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Jonathan's most prominent trait is him as an extrovert with an obvious outgoing personality that anyone can see just by looking at him. With the look on his face, knowing he is confident about himself and what he is wearing which conveys much without being said. Having this air of self-confidence about himself that seems unwavering, it also shows when he talks with that cool-headed and calm demeanor that wouldn't be embarrassed to ask or reveal anything. As a person with his confidence, he wouldn't be afraid to stand as a rebel against the norm or at the same time take the position as a leader for something that he believes in. He is a person who would be considered being fun to be around, as he is always looking for something to do whether it be with a group or by himself. Seemingly having an appetite for conversation, he is clearly a people's person who loves to talk to people and get to know them. Combined with the fact that he is a flirtatious person, he can make a person chuckle at how smooth he can pull something off without a second thought. It makes his personality great for taking along to go to any kind of party as he's a polite guest who isn't afraid to join in the fun once it starts rolling. He while may not take anything seriously at first, he finds competition to be a good motivator for him to get him worked up for it. [hr] [center][h2][u][b][color=firebrick]Capabilities[/color][/b][/u][/h2][/center] [b]Skills:[/b] Knows the necessities for adulthood of the modern age, such as cooking and cleaning along with using technology to a good degree that he wouldn't be too embarrassed about it. He is still iffy on those social media sites that seem to spark up every so often that he can't keep track of them. Quite fluent in languages and understanding other cultures, having traveled to many different places in the world, he likes to think of himself as having more experience than the common person and magus. Along the way somewhere he picked up the knack for karaoking and dancing that is apart of the nightlife that exists universally whether it be a small group or a big one. He is a foodie, having the ability to devour obscene amounts of food that leaves everyone else pale in comparison. The only reason why he stops at buffets is for courtesy so that he not eating in front of them when they are already done. If there is anything that would be on the list to eat when going out, it is sushi since he rarely has the opportunity to go to places like those most of the time. Arts and Craft is another thing he is interested in, making personalized things for people rather than just having something store-bought is something that leaves him feeling good about himself. Whether it be with markers or glitter pens, he is up for the time to make such things on a whim if people are down for it. [b]School of Magecraft: [/b] [i][u]Rune-based Magecraft[/u][/i] The form of Magecraft that Jonathan uses are known as 'Runes" which originates from the Age of the Gods and are symbols that, once inscribed, automatically realize mysteries accordingly with the meaning that they represent. Composed of only straight lines and possessing mechanics similar to the Magic Crests, they are limited by the number of runes being combined which consumes more energy for each one being utilized. These spells can usually be negated when cast from afar due to the innate magic resistance of a trained magus and must be applied either directly on them or in their direct vicinity. These runes can be categorized into three kinds: the Primeval Runes created by Odin himself, the Old Runes, and finally Modern Runes. Jonathan has knowledge only Modern Runes from what he has gathered from his journies [b]Skills/Spells List: [/b] The limitation of Rune-based magecraft is innumerable as it is like building a sentence out of words, with so many phrases to choose from that allows the possibilities to be endless. The only clear limitation is the amount of time needed to perform truly large-scale magecraft is time and the energy to undertake such a task. While its possible to simply use direct confrontation scenarios, it is a form more panned out to be planned beforehand to set up the battlefield. [hider=Sample of Spells] [list] [*][b]Ehwaz - Rune of Strength:[/b] A common rune capable of being placed on an object to increase its strength and durability akin to metal if its an inferior material. If placed on a metal, its durability is increased at a reduced amount but still functions as normal. However, if cast on his body (his arms generally), it temporarily gives him the strength to do a variety of things and no doubt allow him to easily have the advantage on even a fairly fit human.[/list] [list] [*][b]Kenaz - Rune of Sight:[/b] A more uncommon rune which can be applied to ocular devices and used for a variety of purposes. Amplification or extension of sight is simple, while piercing magical abilities may take some time to adjust the magic to see through them. When placed on himself, he can see twice as far in the light and dark than a normal person.[/list] [list] [*][b]Laguz + Sowilo + Mannaz - Runes of Healing:[/b] A common spell among rune casters which escribed on their bodies can heal scrapes and bruises easily. Intended for more serious injuries, it can handle gashes and wounds up to moderate severity before actually requiring real medical attention. In cases of severe or fatal damage, it can stabilize the person in a single burst of energy and slowly continue to knit the body together but they will still be in a terrible condition if not taken to a doctor.[/list] [list] [*][b]Algiz + Isa - Rune of Shielding:[/b] A rune of protection which is used in more magical battles, capable of defending the common spell thrown by a magus. Sufficient for most curses that are cast from afar as well which will be negated by this spell. Using it during battle is usually difficult or impossible but when placed on a object, it will indeed ward away spells and block them when hit. On apparrel, it protects against the magic of negative intent which is useful when placed on them.[/list] [list] [*][b]Hagalaz + Laguz + Isa + Nauthiz - Protective Runes of Endurance and Retaliation:[/b] Another sentence of runes which no true practioneer of runic magic shouldn't know. It protects against both physical and mystical attacks, using their energy to reinforce and fuel the spell itself. Any magic left from the runes after each attack will be transfer into a single point where once passed will unleashed the stored energy as a powerful counterattack.[/list] [list] [*][b]Sowilo + Thurisaz + Hagalaz - Runes of Fire Cage:[/b] The first defensive spell on the list, it is a combination of runes which when cast will cause a powerful cage of fire to trap the victim in. Its naturally weak to elements that would destroy fire but resistant to those that it naturally is.[/list] [list] [*][b]Sowilo + Thurisaz + Hagalaz + Fehu - Runes of Consuming Fire:[/b] The first offensive spell which when cast will create a fireball which have a soft homing effect, angling itself slightly to try and best capture its victim. It will not do instanteous 90 degree turns, but it can curve itself to chase its target if it has the space to do so or be extinguished. At its quick speed, it rarely has the chance to redirect itself but when it hits its target, the flames will rarely extinguish themselves naturally. Similar to a curse which will chase its target if it ever falls away, it can only be smothered naturally or by another spell and if runs out of energy to sustain itself.[/list] [list] [*][b]Isa + Thurisaz + Hagalaz - Runes of Ice Spears:[/b] Another simple spell which is like a toothpick going through a piece of fruit by this combination of runes which forms the spell. Its sharp enough to pierce through the human body and pieces of metals but is fragile compared to sturdier materials. Strengthened by the Isa rune that turns the projectile sharp enough to make a cut through a mature tree. [/list] [list] [*][b]Sowilo + Thurisaz + Hagalaz + Fehu - Runes of Consuming Fire:[/b] A offensive spell which when cast will create a fireball which have a soft homing effect, angling itself slightly to try and best capture its victim. It will not do instanteous 90 degree turns, but it can curve itself to chase its target if it has the space to do so or be extinguished. At its quick speed, it rarely has the chance to redirect itself but when it hits its target, the flames will rarely extinguish themselves naturally. Similar to a curse which will chase its target if it ever falls away, it can only be smothered naturally or by another spell and if runs out of energy to sustain itself. There are much more combination of spells possible but here are a small portion of them[/list][/hider] [hr] [center][h2][u][b][color=firebrick]Who he is...[/color][/b][/u][/h2][/center] [b]Biography:[/b] Born in a small family of mages, they were nobody special but they were able to live off their magical talents quite well than a normal job. His parents gave birth to three children and he was the youngest of them all by two years, Adam and Michelle were his older siblings who he would be raised with. The three of them would be trained in the way of a magus as they all possessed the ability to do so, with sufficient magic circuits to do it. Their close nature together as family turned into a competition to see who could better the other, with his older siblings having a few years ahead of him, Jonathan mostly lost when he was younger. His brother specialized in fire element spells while his sister specialized in creating familiars that would perform a variety of tasks for her. Jonathan himself was interested in his own form of magecraft in the interest of the underused Runes. His parents were initially hesitant on letting him pursue a dying form of magecraft but coped with it when they saw his innate talent for it. Using their combined knowledge, they taught what they knew about runes and the stories that were passed down to them. It would sustain Jonathan's knowledge for a few years before they had to hire a professional to tutor him in the more advanced areas. Eventually, his tutor would take him as an apprentice for more 'hands on experience' when his skill with that area of magecraft was suitable for being his assistance. George Beckham, was his teacher and would be so for several years as Jonathan learn under him. Traveling all over the world, wherever his teacher's assistance was called for and Jonathon too would tag along. It would be a long six years of traveling the world, as the two expierenced many things on their journey, and Jonathan grew into a full-fledged rune magus. He grew to be even more talented than anyone would have thought, gather more experience and knowledge during his six-year apprenticeship than anyone expected. Even his teacher was amazed yet wary of how fast his student was learning as the two rivaled each other in terms of knowledge and power. There Jonathan would strike out on his own to learn more on his own, pursuing what interested him and caught his attention. Following this path, it would lead Jonathan to eventually forging his way to what will be his appearance in the Holy Grail Wars.

[hider=Servant] [h3][sup][color=SteelBlue][b][u]SERVANT [/u][/b][/color][/sup][/h3][indent] [color=DarkCyan][b]Name:[/b][/color] Maria Anna Mozart, the Lost Symphony [color=DarkCyan][b]Class:[/b][/color] Caster [color=DarkCyan][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Female [color=DarkCyan][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] [center][img]https://images.alphacoders.com/672/672167.jpg[/img][/center][/indent][h3][sup][color=SteelBlue][b][u]BIO [/u][/b][/color][/sup][/h3][indent] [color=DarkCyan][b]Personality & History[/b][/color] Summoned as a Caster that is said to rival her brother in every way possible, or at least close enough that only the most astute artist could tell the difference between the two of them. Caster is a servant whose future could of been just like her brother as a dazzling musician that enthralled the audience that came to his performances. However, this fate was cut short by the obstacles placed in her way that prevented her from ever truly reaching the pedestal that her brother was placed on by both her parents and the people around him. How far her career could have been as a muscian the world would never know, for she married when she turn the age of eighteen and became eligible for such a proposal. Despite both her brother and herself trying to object to the decision that was given to her, she eventually relented to her father and allowed herself to be wed. Causing another gap in the relationship she had with her brother who she used to be very close to until he started to become recognized for his own skills. She was an inspiration for her little brother when the two of them were children and served to reinforce the lessons that her father gave to both of them. Tending and caring for the love of music that her little brother had and shared, it would surprise her that despite the promise she showed, the position of being the head of the family was given to him. In the end after her marriage, she became removed from her brother's life and only saw him for the last time when he was dead, also meeting his family as well at that time. Of course she regretted the isolation that the two were in but was helpless to do anything about it in their separate worlds. There would always be the time that she remembered while she grew old about how she spent her days with her little brother playing music together.

Within this space, she is capable of altering its properties that highlights her music, making her sound-based magecraft more effective in this area. She could fully unlock the potential of this skill if she only had her brother performing alongside with her as well that would provide the positive multiplier. [color=DarkCyan][b]• Item Creation E:[/b][/color] The ability that a servant has of creating mystic codes and other magical items. At this rank, she cannot make anything else besides the music pieces that she has written which are mundane objects.[/indent][h3][sup][color=SteelBlue][b][u]PERSONAL SKILLS [/u][/b][/color][/sup][/h3][indent] [color=DarkCyan][b]• Protection of the Music Gods A+:[/b][/color] Coming from her own great skill in music has caused the manifestation of this skill. While the true version of this skill denotes the divine protection from the Muses who were the gods of music. Caster's skill in music have achieved the levels of something that can be called otherworldly beautiful whenever she plays. From her immense experience, she can distinguish any type of sound and play any instrument masterfully. In addition, the effects of music magecraft are ranked up. While the rank of this skill is inferior to her brother, she can reach near a similar level should she follow the path of selling her soul to music. [color=DarkCyan][b]• Uncrowned Mastership (Music) A:[/b][/color] A skill that comes from her skill in music that was not recognized by others due to various reasons that had affected her during life. It all began when she was held back by both her parents and society's restrictive concepts of gender roles and was not allowed to reveal her artistic talent. With both her dedication and work left unknown to the world, any evidence of her music compositions simply never existed in history or never discovered. To those who do not know the true identity of Caster perceives her parameters as one rank lower than what they actually are and her skills that are related to her music are invisible as well to them. [color=DarkCyan][b]• Battle Continuation C:[/b][/color] There is a slight variation of this skill that makes it more akin to [ Performance Continuation ] than what is traditionally thought of. It allows her to continuing to cast spells after receiving wounds that may hinder such action normally. This can be thought of as the willpower to keep on playing until the final note, and can push her body even when her own magic reserves when they are low, resulting in damage being applied for how much she overexerts.

It is a notebook of music that has many pieces among the pages that are bound in the book, being around fifty pages long and containing short pieces for Caster to facilitate her musical magecraft. It was originally designed for children by her father, both Caster and her brother's later work were included in this edition of the notebook that details more complicated and difficult scores that showed others the talent the siblings had resting within them. Even when she was held back by the world, Caster still continued to play and keep up with her brother, who occasionally sent her pieces of music to play and listen to as a little taste of what could be. The Notebook is also a medium that can be made to offer Caster's own soul and dedicate it to a certain cause. It can be said that it is expected of her to offer her soul up for music and in exchange be granted her wish of creating music. This secret function of her Noble Phantasm is sealed unless Caster willingly allows the process to happen to her and let the changes go through. The same can be said for Caster offering herself up to the Demon God Amdusias since she too is part of the bloodlines that would become agents from them. However, once again this change must be voluntary from Caster's own decision before offering herself but the changes would result in an entirely different servant created in her class retainer.[/indent][hr] [indent][color=DarkCyan][b]Alignment:[/b][/color] Neutral Good[/indent] [/hider]
