[list][*][u][b]Name[/b][/u]: Emiya Shirou
[*][u][b]Age[/b][/u]: 17
[*][u][b]Gender[/b][/u]: Male
[*][u][b]Appearance[/b][/u]: [url=https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/3178066]"So long as it's to protect Illya-nee-san, I won't have any regrets."[/url]
[*][u][b]Personality[/b][/u]: With actions that can be called 'bold', 'headstrong', and occasionally 'very stupid', Shirou has a tendency to throw himself at any problem before letting other people attempt to handle it. Having not been given the trauma of being the only survivor of a giant magical disaster, Shirou is far less [i]suicidal[/i] than one might expect him to be, but he is still very adamantly defiant in the face of anyone or anything that might bring harm to his older sister.
Despite his faults, though, Shirou is never one to give up in the face adversity, and will always fight to the very last for the sake of his family or friends. Outside of the usual life-or-death situations that he occasionally finds himself wrapped up in, though, Shirou's quite open with people and... Well, quite frankly, is still fairly dense at times. He's still a good person who won't hesitate to help people with things like errands and whatnot, but there's a little less mercy in his actions if people piss him off.
[*][u][b]Skills[/b][/u]: Shirou is quite adept at fixing machinery, and despite his appearances he's a VERY good cook. Beyond that, Shirou is also a very good archer, having practiced kyudo often in school while he was still a part of the club. Other than that, though, this young man has an [i]unnatural[/i] penchant for getting himself into trouble, mainly for the sake of others.
Now, of course, is not an exception.
[*][u][b]Abilities[/b][/u]: Having been trained by a Kiritsugu that [i]wasn't[/i] permanently traumatized, Shirou is able to use his reinforcement magecraft on things beyond 'swords', and can fight with pretty much any random tool on the fly. Not that the weapon itself will be durable, mind you, but most of what he reinforces can withstand at least a few blows before breaking apart.
Aside from that, though, Shirou [i]is[/i] able to project swords, though for the most part what he uses in emergencies are a pair of kitchen knives shaped [i]like[/i] swords. After all, it's fairly difficult to get away with obtaining a sword in modern-day Japan, much less duplicating one endlessly without any real legal consequences.
[*][u][b]Brief Backstory[/b][/u]: Despite the lack of a Great Fuyuki Fire that annihilated a good chunk of the city, Shirou's parents still ended up dead, and the young child once again ended up orphaned. Even so, he ended up adopted by Kiritsugu and Irisviel for some reason or another (read: Illyasviel), and ended up becoming her adopted little brother.
Getting used to a new life wasn't too difficult for the young Shirou, barring the fact that he was now being trained extensively by his foster parents in magecraft in order to protect his older sister. Even so, he managed to continue to live a somewhat normal life, not unlike a certain Tohsaka heir. Of course, the current situation now has led to him joining the Great Grail War, if only to protect his small older sister from harm.
