Bio:
Moses was initially born to an Israelite family, however, the ruling Pharaoh, Seti I ordered for all male Israelite children to be drowned in the river Nile. To escape this fate, Moses' mother hid him in a basket near some bulrushes and sent him down the river where he was found and adopted by Seti I's daughter. After this point, Moses was raised alongside Rameses II like a brother and the two became friends.

When Moses became an adult, he accidentally killed an Egyptian who was hurting one of the slaves and was forced to abandon his princely life. After discovering the truth of his identity from God on Mount Horeb and being ordered to rescue Israelites, Moses returned to his homeland. When Moses told Ramesses II to free the Israelites, Ramesses II refused. So, Moses set off the 10 Plagues of Egypt. Ramesses finally agreed with Moses' request when the Pharaoh's firstborn son was killed by the final plague.

However, despite not bearing any ill will or hatred towards Moses, Ramesses still felt anger due to his son's death. One of Ramesses II's advisers persuaded him to lead a legion of charioteers to attack Moses and the leaving Israelites. When Moses saw the coming troops he displayed the miracle of God by parting the Red Sea and lead his people across it. Seeing that miracle, Rider decided to simply let his surrogate brother and once closest friend go, and bid him a farewell.

Name: Noon (Akira/陽) Triswich

Title(s): Light of Sin



Gender: Male

Age: 36

Height: 180cm

Weight: 78kg

Alignment: Lawful Good

Rank: (Your capability as a Magus in the eyes of the Mages Association. This will be given to you on approval.)

Objective for the Grail: Sent on a mission by the lord he serves to claim the position of victor in the Grail War, and of course, the land of Paris, in his lord’s name.



Personality:
An unbending, unrelenting man who walks a proper path. Propelled by his environment, the expectations of his family and the crest engraved into his body

His conduct and self is that which would be called pure. An ideal who manages to struggle without faltering.

Polite, well-mannered. Yet there’s a touch of well-meaning self-centeredness in his view. His instinct and his manner of thinking is that that flows from himself and what he could do. A person who would beat himself up that he himself did not prevent a tragedy, a person who would think of all problems in the lens of how he could solve it first and foremost.

A person who expects the world to be something to be solved by him, and a person who expects highly of himself. An extension into self-sacrifice which one must question the roots of whether it is truly a matter of goodness, or some touch of narcissism. Without thinking on that he continues to walk his path, conquering what lies ahead.

Bio (Family):
A family with a legendary lineage, although its start was not all that connected to the path of a magus. The progenitor of the Triswich is none other than the Knight of the Round Table of the Sun, Gawain. Descendants holding his blood took the symbol of his failure, the Sash given by Lady Bertilak, turned it into their magic crest. While not holding the powers she had claimed, it was nonetheless a icon with mystery that served them as the base of their crest. A mystery to hold their knowledge, and a perfect means to pass down their drive for their ideals and the adherence to the path passed down.

While at first a family of druids and magi that could be called to be more along the line of hermits that lived in the forests after the ebbing of civilization and the tragedy of their progenitor. The history and legacy of the knights has become more of a guiding aspect in their direction in the last number of centuries with the progression of civilization and modernity.

Falling under the banner of the Barthomeloi Faction and tying themselves to one of the lords of the Clocktower to establish their position in exchange for serving the lord. The Triswich have, with their legacy, age and current standing become a respectable and known family. A standing that they live up to with talent, expertise and knowledge. In their eyes what they recieve by serving their lord is more than worth the time and risk involved.

However despite that, while some may call them knights of the Aristocratic faction. Others call them tree-planters who decided to try and brush up and present themselves nice to play at being lapdogs.

Bio (Noon):
One day a Triswich visited the land of the sun. There he met a shaman girl at a shrine dedicated to a sun god, found her bewitching, and fell in love. Together the two had a child of mixed blood and mixed suns.

Living his early years in Japan, when the Triswich family moved back to their ancestral lands in Britain, young Akira, then dubbed Noon found himself in a foreign strange land so different from what he thought of as home. A foreigner, and seen as a strange oddity, or even a blight upon an ancient family by bringing in outside blood and being seen as the folly and whim of his father, the Clock Tower and English lands looked upon him unkindly as it did with any regarding those who came from what was considered a backwater savage land.

Yet despite his part Japanese blood, and his unfamiliarity he endured. Following in his father’s footsteps, delving into the path of a Triswich and soon becoming more English and western than someone who was pure in the words of some. Dissent and opposition was silenced by his conduct as he proved himself a worthy heir twice over to make up for the prejudice he faced.

While he holds enemies, both as a result of his lord and the position of his family, along with his blood. He now pursues the advancement of the Triswich while serving his lord dutifully as his personal knight, distinguishing himself enough to be accepted as a respectable heir to his father.

Now he is sent to Paris to claim the land for his lord.

Ah? The wish? He hasn’t thought about what it’d be used for. His lord didn’t seem to have that much interest and said he could have it but…

Really, what is such a thing good for?

---
Magic Circuit Switch: The sensation of flames bathing his hands.

Number of Magic Circuits: C

Quality of Magic Circuits: A

---

Elemental Affinity: Fire and Earth

Magecraft:

General Magecraft:
As a magus his knowledge covers what is expected and basic as par for course.

Fire and Earth Magic:
The abilities of Noon when it comes to elemental magic are rather standard. However the power behind his flames are quite notable.

His earth magic is more well suited for out of combat applications.

Sorcery Trait: Overflow Third
For any living being and magus there is a time that marks their peak. However due to a special constitution passed down from their progenitor that element is exaggerated and amplified in the Triswich. In the day, especially During the hours between 9 and 12, and 3 and sunset. The magical energy of Noon is greatly enhanced. Flames can be brought forth with greater ease, and his body can be enhanced in a somewhat similar, but different way from that of half-breeds. At the eponymous time which is his greatest peak, Noon glows like a small sun, a star descended upon the earth.

Druidism:
Walking among the forest, utilizing the bounty of nature, sacrificing to the gods and communing with the land. One can manipulate the environment, nature and of course plant trees. Mixed in is the knowledge of medicine, poisons and animals.

Fairy (False): Familiars:
The creation and utilization of familiars that take upon the shape, and to an extent, the powers and nature of faeries. Replicating a fairy is impossible, but using the familiars, certain spells and tricks that invoke and use the idea of faeries become possible.

And of course what is a knight without faeries? Or a druid without a relation to the touch of the land? Combining those two facets, it then is no surprise that the Triswich embarked on the path of creating a stand-in for such companions and benefactors.

Furthermore the idea of faeries as the touch of the world is utilized to make them an extension of the territory of the Triswich. A false creation that expands and extends from a false world. These faeries are perhaps as much the Triswich as Noon himself.

Holy Arms Image:
Projection of an image using the fairy as a stand in for the planet/touch of the planet. Jewel as the body of the planet/metal.

The greatest blades, the symbol of the greatest of knights, Holy Swords. An object of such power is something that cannot be made in the age of man, and the Triswich do not have the ability to replicate them.

However what they can do is mimic the creation of one, to use the image and idea of one as something to bring out arms based upon legendary items.

Mixing one of their faeries (the will of the planet) and using materials such as jewels or metal (the body of the planet) they bring forth an image of a item “created by the planet”.

Maybe it’s more accurate to say that a familiar utilizes reagents to transform into an image of a holy item, infusing and placing the shell of the intended arm on top of the materials as a layer.

Related to projection magecraft.

Bounded Fields/Territory Creation:
The arts of druidism, the establishment of a “castle” or study as a knight.

The Triswich, and Noon by extension are experts at bounded fields. Both in the creation of false faerie forests that confuse and reject trespassers and hide things. Sanctifying places as lakes and dealing with atmosphere, and of course, establishing a “fairy-made home”. The idea of the chalky white walls of Camelot is something that is a dream, but that dream holds power when used as an concept by the Triswich.

Self-Suggestion:
While not exactly magecraft, the base and origins of the Triswich is shame, and of a resolution brought by it. The moment they chose the Sash as their magic crest they have decided to live and embody the meaning of the story of the Sun Knight and his humbling.

They must excel, they must live up to, and exceed the perfect knight. A mystic code dyed in the sun and in the promise over generations. Just as the Triswich shaped what became of the sash, so did it shape them.

Noon, along with the other heirs of the Triswich has in his very blood a strong conditioning and ability for self-hypnosis. To live up to the standards they set to themselves, to live properly. It is something that they use to keep themselves on a rightful path, and also to exceed their limits when that path brings them into hardship.

The true Noon could be said to only come forth when he becomes a focused existence that dedicates his breath and life to a important task.

Contracts and Hospitality:
Geases, magecraft that have to do with oaths, deals and contracts are another talent of Noon due to the base of his magic crest. This also extends to an extent magecraft that deals with the idea of hospitality which exists plenty in the magic of his homeland.

Crest: 12 generations

Weapon:

Various Jewels and prepared metal rods:
The basis for Holy Image:Armory along with his faeries. Various prepared natural jewels, and metals put into the shape of ritualistic metal rods are carried for the purpose of use for forming the images. However at rare times he also utilizes them for other rituals.

Battlewear: Sunsworn Green
If the Sash of Bertilak is a false protection, then the conceptual formalwear worn as Noon’s garments for battle and formal occasions as a modern knight and magus are a mystic code passed down through the family line that is their armor to make up for that lie.

A protective wear that extends its protection beyond the skin it covers. Enemy attacks are reduced or even negated, and even magic and debuff effects are protected against.

Finally it holds a regenerative quality, exceeding the standard curse of restoration, that cleanses the body and mind of the one who dons it.

The protection of faeries, the blessings of the land, the healing arts of those who walk the forests. Mixing those three together may the one who wears it walk a hallowed path.

Other Skills:

Cooking: EX
Ability to cook on a level unmatched by any other. No matter what he makes it will always be at that impossible to achieve level, every dish reaching the same zenith possible to Noon. There is no better or worse examples. Every dish he makes is of the same quality as the last.

Martial Ability:
Best with swords and spears (along with staves.) However Noon is adept at all sorts of combat with weapons. However when it comes to unarmed combat he is not as much of an expert as a focused practitioner. That said his brawling and completeness as a fighter is without question. His kicks are also quite dangerous and he's notable at being overbearing with strength and speed. An aggressive fighter all in all.

His level of swordsmanship can be said to be enough to spar with a Knight Captain.

Exceptional Benefit: Meant to be a representation of the special situation inherent to a specific Master. You may pick one, and it must be justified and work logically for your character.

Bio: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_the_Kid

Weapon: An exceptional specimen of a Colt M1877

Parameters:

Strength: D

Endurance: E

Agility: B

Mana: E

Luck: B

Class Skills:

Independent Action: A
It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master

Magic Resistance: N/A
As a modern hero with no real ability to defend against magic, his skill in this is essentially nonexistent even with his class container.

Personal Skills:

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Thunderer
Title: Thunderclap of Breaking Sound
Rank: C++
NP Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-100
Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description:
A counter-like three-burst shot by means of a Colt M1877 double-action revolver (nicknamed "Thunderer"), whose use Billy the Kid is said to have favored. The anecdotes associated with him turned into a Noble Phantasm.
To be exact, it is not like the revolver is a Noble Phantasm, and if you comprehensively look at the whole of "Billy the Kid's marksmanship when he holds this revolver", it seems more of a Personal Skill than a Noble Phantasm.
The most devious aspect of this Noble Phantasm is its low prana consumption, derived from the fact that the concept of Noble Phantasm is incorporated into the greater section called "technique". In specific terms, it is no more than the same extent of consumption of employing a E Rank Noble Phantasm.

In function the perception of time slows for Archer. Grasping the location of his enemies and awareness of his surroundings, he dodges and fires three shots aiming for the vitals as a counter attack. However in the end even with this Noble Phantasm something that is impossible to dodge for Archer cannot be turned into something that is avoided.

Title(s): Crimson Capped Cardslinger

Appearance:

Gender: M

Age: 76

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Rank: (Your capability as a Magus in the eyes of the Mages Association. This will be given to you on approval.)

Objective for the Grail: Rather then the grail, the competition itself greatly interests Rouge. Although, the rewards of ownership over the spiritual lands of Paris are something that would not go remiss if he were to win.

Character Objectives:
- To engage in combat with his fellow peers. (Primary)
- To witness a gathering of heroes fight amongst themselves for the grail. (Secondary)

Command Seal:

Personality: A taciturn fellow who’s silence is only further tempered by his relatively old age, though he is still considered a youngster in the eyes of many a magus within the Clocktower. However, behind his rather blase attitude lies a fiercely competitive soul. The type of person who would lose at a game they never played once in their life and laugh it off only to come back a month later having practiced every waking hour to try to beat you at that game.

Bio: An unassuming individual from the equally unassuming Un’Chapeu family. While not untalented, he is not some once in a generation genius who advanced his family craft generations forwards. He simply went about his daily life and duty while still enjoying his life by engaging in competitive card games, a rather well-known hobby of his that he often recommends to any peer he may encounter.

Though in his (relatively) advanced age he begins to yearn for something more thrilling than the many variants of poker that exist, he was never one to go and purposefully seek his own destruction. Such a thing would almost be an antithesis of what he was taught to seek, that being the path of creation.

Once news of a tournament reached him, however, he became intrigued. For something of this caliber, with such a reward as well, so close by, how could he refuse? Besides, it wasn’t like there would be much risk to him.

Right?




- Astrology: Divination through the plotting of the path of celestial bodies above. Astrologers also frequently utilize the celestial bodies as a means to influence things or in the creation of talismans.

- Binding: The magical attribute of the Un’Chapeu, concerned with the action of linking and holding together. A fitting attribute for those who would create talismans

- Earth Magecraft: While capable of manipulating the ground, his own studies discard such useless magecraft, instead choosing to focus on the attribute of Binding that comes from Earth.

- General Magecraft: The very basics anyone calling themselves a magus should know. Contains knowledge such as sympathetic and contagious magecraft along with the common knowledge of things such as what ley lines are.

- Numerology: While not the main focus of the Un’Chapeu family, they nonetheless choose to supplement their own magecraft with the compatible foundation of Numerology.

- Spiritual Evocation: A supplementing field of magecraft the Un’Chapeu use in the creation of ‘Idols’. In particular, the attraction and binding of spirits to materials.

Crest: 6 Generations


- Empty Knight Sky: A deck of cards that gave Rouge his namesake along with his interest in card games. In reality, they are a set of disguised star charts that depict the thirteen Zodiacs that serve as nothing more than a seal that house enfleshed curses within them. Taking the appearance of knight-like suits of armor, they shine with the very light of the constellations they take their names from. In an unrelated note, it seems that these imagined constructs, in fact, are inspired from a relic his family has passed down for generations.

- Cane of Solomon: Whereas the creation of talismans are the operation of the spirit by body, by inverting this operation it becomes possible to operate bodies with spirits by applying key ideas and meanings from both the human body and the Grimorium Verum. A process remarkably similar to alchemy, and something close to infringing upon the threshold of those within the Middle Eastern community. It’s outward appearance is that of a classy cane, it’s head in the shape of a human clavicle.

- Superior Mystic Code

Name: Tomás de Torquemada

Title(s): Grand Inquisitor, Hammer of Heretics, Light of Spain, Savior of his Country, Honor of his Order

Class: Caster

Gender: Male

Attribute: Human

Era: Age of Man (October 14, 1420 - September 16, 1498)

Alignment: Neutral Good

Personality: For a man as infamous as Tomás, his true manner of being was mostly unbefit of the image he has earned: A polite, well-educated man who worked in an incredibly neat manner. A prudent and pious man who couldn't be swayed away from his goals and morals. A loyal and discreet man that, nevertheless, wished to "distinguish himself from fake christians through the severe denunciation of their mistakes".
Yet the man that was is not the man that's here: twisted due to his state as the most known and emblematic inquisitor he has taken a more vile personality. Whilst there are shades of who Tomás was in the past, the villain that history made him be is much more present: a cruel and ruthless man whose zeal to purge the heretics is only matched by his loyalty to the Lord. A man who views himself as the righteous hand of God, and will deliver righteous punishment to those who oppose him. A man who shall bring forth redeemption upon the tainted souls of men by burning every sin away. A man whose last, dying wish was to purify Christianity in the name of the Lord.

Bio: Tomás de Torquemada, ironically, was a man of jewish blood himself; two generations before his birth his family had converted to Christianism. The fate of many of these people was entering the clergy, and that was the fate of his uncle, Juan de Torquemada. Cardinal, theologist and prior of the dominicans of Valladolid, he was the man that educated Tomás during his childhood, who ended up becoming a dominican friar in San Pablo. Further down the line, he became the prior in the Convent of San Pablo, where he'd eventually meet Isabella the Catholic. Because of his virtues, he was designated one of the three personal confessors of the Catholic Kings, a position that eventually led him to his role as the Grand Inquisitor in 1483.

This was the start of Torquemada's infamous career, an inexhaustible man who prosecuted thousands of persons of differing faiths, focusing on Jews as to impede them from influencing their peers that had converted to catholicism. The influence he had over the Catholic Kings was supreme, to the point that he presented the Alhambra Decree to them the 20th of March of 1492, and it was signed and published by the monarchs the 31st of the same month. A legend speaks of the moment a jewish enterpeneur attempted to bribe the king to delay the measure. Enraged, Tomás de Torquemada appeared before the King and threw a cross to his feet before speaking: "Judas sold the Lord for thirty pieces of silver; Your Majesty is about to sell him again for thirty thousand". He was incorruptible, and couldn't be swayed away from his Holy Mission. Even when his health began to decline and he retired to the convent of Saint Thomas of Ávila in 1494, he dictated the path the Inquisition was to take from there until his eventual death.

Weapon: A bible that he uses in place of a spellbook.

Personal Skills:

Name: Sir Tristan
Title(s): The Knight of Lamentation, The Child of Sadness
Class: Saber Archer
Gender: Male
Attribute: This will be given to you upon approval.
Era: Arthurian Legends/The Tale of Tristan and Iseult (c.: 500 CE)
Alignment: Lawful Good


Personality: "To gaze into his eyes is to know the real meaning of suffering..."

Tristan is the embodiment of the sadness and longing that come with tragic love stories. His life story both before joining and after leaving the King of Knights' court is the subject of a lot of contention, however the fact remains that the "Child of Sadness" is as beautiful as he's downcast.

Even with all that happened in his past, Tristan still remains loyal to his vows as a knight and to his burning love for Iseult. If his master is righteous and just, he'll dedicate his whole being to their cause, but even they'll be spared no mercy if their nature is fundamentally wicked. However, his whole reasoning is shaken when it comes to females, if his master turns out to be a woman, Tristan's dedication will be manifolds greater, to the point that he'd willingly walk into a trap to rescue them if need be.

Naturally, his wish to the Holy Grail is to fulfill his role as one of the Knights of the Round Table. In other words, Tristan's single wish would be for the Grail to find its way to his King's hands and perhaps then, his own wrongdoings would be forgiven as well.

Bio: https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Archer_(Fate/Grand_Order_-_Tristan)

Weapon: "Bow" and Sword

Parameters:
Strength: B

To be born of ill fate. He was called Tristan, the child of sorrow; for grief follows him so ever since his birth. By means of his singing voice, filled with lamentation, it provides additional bonus to his musical performance.

-- Admonishment of the King of Knights B:
"The king understands not of human heart-----"

The decisive trauma that was engraved on the King of Knights. In the legend, it was a severely heart rending admonition. And yet the Knights of the Round Table, summoned as Servants, unanimously declare so: "Nay. We truly know not what manner of thing you are guilty of."

The words he left at the very end was an excessively cruel remark; Tristan himself severely regrets uttering those words.

-- Weakness (Poison) D:
In the legend, numerous times he was weakened by poison, driven almost to death. Due to that, his resistance against poison is lowered to an extent.

Noble Phantasm:
Name: Failnaught
Title: Fantasia of Lamentation
Rank: A+
NP Type: Anti-Army
Range: 5 - 100
Maximum Number of Targets: 10

Description:
Tristan’s bow was called a "bow that always hit its target"… but the form of this Noble Phantasm is nothing but a mere "string". He used the string of his favorite harp, and he flicks off the air by shaking this string, firing what should be called a vacuum arrow. Because the velocity of the arrow, the bow’s angle adjustments, and above all, the loading speed of its arrows are all unusual, it is almost impossible to avoid the entire bullet, no matter how fast the hero is that excels in speed. It seems that the only ways for one to oppose this is by jumping dimensions, move one’s body outside of its range, and so forth.

For the different ways to use this string, Tristan can take up tactics such as tearing up, slicing up and tying down the opponent. Furthermore, if there is a location that is an obstacle, such as a forest, etc., he can insert traps like "foot entanglements (snares)", and so forth. The instant a foot takes one step onto the mysterious vacuum trap that was laying there, the enemy floats into midair and is chopped up into pieces.

Name: Honda Tadakatsu

Title(s):"The Warrior who surpassed Death itself", "The Samurai among Samurai"

Class: Lancer

Gender: Male

Attribute:

Era: Age of Man; March 17, 1548 – December 3, 1610

Alignment: Lawful Good

Personality: Stoic and vigilant, he is fiercely loyal to his Retainer (Master) and is always ready to be called into battle. He desires to fight a worthy opponent and will let his presence be known and his intentions clear to nearby enemies.

Character Objectives: Towards the end of his life, Honda had a hard time adjusting to the life of a bureaucrat and eventually retired and died of natural causes. His 'perfect record' haunts him as he feels he was not given the warrior's death he deserved. Once he has the grail, he wishes to return to his youth and relive his military career until someone worthy slays him in battle.

Bio: A daimyo of the Sengoku Era and one of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings, Honda Tadakatsu was a veteran of over 100 battles, and yet had never received a single significant wound and was never defeated by another samurai. This evolved into a legend that he had surpassed death itself. Famously his helmet was adorned with stag antlers, letting everyone on the battlefield know of his presence. Despite this not a single inch of his body was ever scarred. He served Tokugawa for his entire life and died of natural causes. Oda Nobunaga himself, famously stingy with his praise, once called him "The Samurai among Samurai".

Weapon: He carries a Masamune-made katana as a sidearm.

Parameters:

• Strength: B
• Endurance: B
• Agility: C
• Mana: E
• Luck: B

Class Skills:

Magical Resistance (D): Comes with the class. Cancels spells of a lower rank and reduces damage taken by other spells. Honda never encountered magic in his life, however never having received a lasting injury prevents this from skill from being E rank.

Personal Skills:

• Military Tactics (B): At one point in history he was considered one of the top four generals of Japan. Oda Nobunaga even praised his skill as a tactician. However he wasn't a perfect general and does have some defeats. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
• Robust Health (A): Said to have surpassed death, he had never received a single injury throughout his over 100 battles. A Skill that is made up of anecdotes of "not receiving a wound on the battlefield" and "never becoming sick even once since birth". It is also a composite Skill and includes Poison Resistance.
• Proof of Friendship (B): Despite being outnumbered 50 to one he intended to face the coming Toyotomi force head on during his defence of Komaki Castle. Impressed by his opponent's bravery, Toyotomi spared him and his army and retreated. This is a Skill to suppress an enemy Servant's fighting spirit to a certain extent, where then a dialogue can begin. However, the enemy Servant must not possess a Mental Pollution Skill. In regard to a Holy Grail War, an advantageous check can be obtained when constructing temporary alliances.
• Knowledge of Melees (B): Having never once been injured in combat, Tadakatsu possesses the uncanny ability to preserve himself in crowded melees. It is a methodology regarding crowd-combat in which friends and foes are all jumbled together. Not the ability to take command of a military force, but combat techniques to persevere as a single warrior within the troops of an army.

The blade is exceptionally sharp and is able to cut through most materials. Unlocking its true cutting potential requires a true name release and a special combo technique. The technique involves spinning the blade at high speed and cutting the air, creating razor winds that slice through things as Tadakatsu moves forward.

Bio:
Jackson Andrews is the affluent heir of the Andrews Estate, a wealthy American family who have a long history associated with the occult. They claim they can trace their lineage all the way back to the Picts of Scotland where their ancestors practised Runic Magic. Their family history is pockmarked with periods of strife and prosperity, having been forced to convert to Christianity by the Romans, exiled to America during the colonial period, their family coming under suspicion during the Witch Scare, and braving the Revolutionary, Civil and both World Wars.
A family such as them would be readily accepted into the rest of Magus Society and even have clout had it not been for their detest of how 'Eurocentric' most Magus families are. This all stems from a blood feud that was founded during Revolutionary War where The Andrews were one of the few magical families to side with the Americans. A recurring theme of their family history seems to be a strong aversion to absolute authority. Having such a well-documented family history is due to their nature as mages; each generation taught the next what they learned and where they received that knowledge from, some disciplines were lost from the crest due to particular member's disinterest in a subject. However, the sheer variety of magic in the family's collective repertoire is staggering and touches virtually all-known magics and even ones that have yet to be incorporated into more traditional thaumaturgical schools.
Jackson himself is a philanthropist, using his family's wealth in-service to those who need it. He grew up sheltered and privileged and feels the need to repent for his easy life. Growing up in modern America granted him a more contemporary education, even attending an American High School for a number of years. His knowledge of science and technology is far beyond that of most other Maguses and is much more willing to adopt and use the conveniences brought about by modernity. Magic-wise it could be said he was 'homeschooled' and encouraged to explore other magical systems. While in Europe he plans to align himself with Lord Toranbelio, who is currently rallying against the traditionalists of the Association.

Elemental Affinity: Earth and Fire. His Origin is Contracts.

Magecraft:

• General Magecraft: Has a good understanding of the basics but is otherwise not formally trained in this particular style of magecraft.
• Elementalism: A specialised form developed by his ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War. It allows for the manipulation of gunpowder components and the generation of sparks.
• American Witchcraft: An older form of Magecraft with origins in Europe that became popular in the United States during the 17th C and lead to the the infamous Salem Witch Trials. American Witchcraft was founded by Elizabeth "Goody" Garlick in 1658. It derives a lot from European schools of Witchcraft but with a much greater emphasis on curses, which require the use of a material medium (ex: straw doll, lock of hair, etc.) that impose a magical restriction on an individual. This school is not tied the Wiccan faith, who do not practice magecraft at all.
• Navajo Spiritual Healing: A form of Shamanisn that is one of the few forms of Magecraft not brought over to the New World but is instead holy native to the Americas. It was incorporated into the Crest during the rapid expansion into the West. It's main tenant is focused on reestablishing harmony within a body, as an imbalance or 'chaos' can manifest as illness or injury. It uses and requires knowledge in a vast array of plants, herbs, minerals and clays. Internally referred to as Diné Bahane', this school is rarely taught to those outside the Navajo culture so much is not known about its practices. It's primarily used for healing ailments and injury and the removal/redirection of curses. One of the more well-known "spells" of this school is the yee naaldlooshii ("by means of it, it goes on all fours") is not actually a part of the foundation proper but instead practised by an antithetical offshoot who go against the primary teachings. It is a form of "self-curse" that transfigures the user into an animal-like form for use in trickery or combat. English speakers typically refer to practitioners as "skin-walkers".

Crest: 300 years old

Weapon:

• Land Pattern Musket "Brown Bess": One of the most commonly used muskets of the Revolutionary War, it was a British weapon that found its way into the hands of many patriots. Not a mystic code, just a very well maintained antique. Jackson can, however, use his Elemental magic to quickly fire and reload the weapon and reinforce it to withstand forces it would not normally be able to. Comes with a bayonet for close-quarters duelling. Jackson usually carries around with him a satchel of gunpowder and shot to use with it.
• The Cauldron of Ceridwen: An amplifier Mystic Code, it is an exceptionally old cauldron rumoured to have been used by the enchantress (later worshipped as a Goddess) Crediwen with the intention of giving her son omnipotence. It was brought to the New World and later confiscated by the Puritans during the Salem Witch Trials. Recovered by Jackson himself, the cauldron allows for longe-range scrying and bolsters the range and potency of his Witchcraft and potion brewing.
• Liberty: A familiar that dates back to his ancestors Celtic roots. It is a metal eagle that has been used for spying, surveying battlefields, and close-quarters combat. Originally bearing the image of a golden eagle, it's appearance was altered to that of a bald eagle when the family was exiled to the New World.

The ability to manufacture magical items. It is expressed at what is arguably the highest level for an Onmyodo, resulting in the creation magical items and relics that would be coveted the world over. The act of Shikigami creation is encompassed in this iteration of Item Construction, which is the conjuration of a spiritual entity to act as the familiar of the conjurer, usually bound to folded paper often representing a ‘body’.

A Shikigami is a familiar, albeit one which is in and of itself a member of a phantasmal species, although reduced and contained within a weaker body. Their being is then used to power some other purpose, be it something as simple as tracking someone, unleashing a curse upon them, or acting as a guardian spirit. Their purpose is wide and varied, and Abe no Seimei is at the peak of such a delicate craft, but he cannot recreate his greatest sorts -- the Heavenly Commanders -- as a Servant in his current state. To do so would be akin to summoning a whole living, sentient magecraft system into the world.


Although capable of building a workshop, his personality is not cut out for it. In life he often wandered off for weeks at a time, seeking out a threat to the throne to neutralize. On top of his natural constitution and ability to ‘work on the fly’, he usually needs to put his mind to making an effective workshop. Besides, the Emperor usually deals with all that busy work!

---

The system of Magecraft known as ‘Onmyodo’, the synthesis of astrology, shamanism, geomancy, wu xing and alchemy. An omnipotent art which defined the Magecraft of a Culture Sphere. It may be called a contrast to the Divine Words, a Magecraft almost seemingly designed to reject the mischievous supernatural and empower man.

Such is by the design of Abe no Seimei. By his hand, the pillars of Onmyodo were solidified. His Shikigami, the Heavenly Commanders, themselves act as the ‘living Magecraft system’ of Onmyodo, although unrepresented as a Servant due to the restraints of his Saint Graph.

It is reasonable to assume he commands Onmyodo at a level beyond all others.

All fields contained within Onmyodo are expressed at their highest level. Rituals have their execution time reduced significantly, the creation of Onmyodo related magical items has an increased success rate and overall improvement in quality, a reduction in necessary resources and increase in speed of production. Ten-Count incantations can be executed in a single action.


The aptitude towards the slaughter of entities of Mystery; creatures of myth, people of legend, faeries and their favoured, and those that would otherwise chafe under the Common Sense of Man.

Abe no Seimei is responsible for many, many dead phantasmal species, either directly or indirectly (largely the latter), his actions thought out and intentional. His ideal was in fact a land which did not have to worry about such things, where Man could indulge in their entertaining conflicts without worry of the judgement of any god or demon.

He is not the greatest killer of his time. That belongs to the one he enabled -- his only equal in all lands, the other Perfect One who also excelled to an inhuman degree, much as he had. It was their odd ability to relate to one another which drew them together, and their none too dissimilar goals which saw a transformation in the land.

To this day, the techniques of Abe no Seimei are used to kill demonic entities and monstrous beast alike. The Magecraft of killing Mystery is a contradiction if there ever was one.


The blood of an inhuman being is mixed in with the blood of the holder, granting them traits of both man and the respective inhuman.

Abe no Seimei is a hybrid of a human and the partition of Inari [Kitsune], granting him the constitution and abilities of the latter and distancing him from the ‘human’ mindset and rendering the state of empathy for both sides of his lineage null to a certain extent, due to being unable to relate to either.

That is not to say that he does not feel for them. No, his feelings for humanity and phantasmal alike nothing short of incredible. It is an overwhelming love which can never be understood by anything short of a fellow hybrid standing between two worlds. Humanity must thrive, but people must die. Monsters and gods must be banished, but the spirituality of the world must survive. Such it is, an incomprehensible and destructively constructive love.

Seimei himself has an inherent understanding of the act of ‘loving’, be it as a husband or wife, fling or friend -- he can perfectly fit that role for whomever he chooses, while he himself may feel absolutely nothing for the one he acts towards. It is a sort of subtle charisma that relies not on the presence of the self overwhelming others, but the meaningfulness of personal and private interaction. One could call it the ‘charisma of a serpent’, or the ‘charisma of the common man’. It is even the ability to understand even the insane and mad and their pivots, forming reason for the unreasonable, yet remain completely unable to understand them as human beings -- so it is said, at least.

It is also the lineage that explains his inherent talent in Magecraft, being born as a split between a practitioner and a creature of mystery. With this lineage comes a naturally deep pool of efficiently regulated magical energy. His blood also enabled him to control the likes of weaker examples of phantasmal species.

Frankly, his motivations are batshit, and this is likely due to his state as a hybrid too, so it’s not all sunshine and good times. Although he tends to think it is.


The eyes of one who perceives truth. A cousin to the Clairvoyance skill Abe would otherwise carry in differing circumstances, it is the manifestation of his ability to perceive past the deception of his enemies and rivals and the tricks and ambushes of youkai. The appraisal of things, the conduct of enemies during battle -- all perceived through a lens of filtering truth. The effectiveness of his eyes is only improved further through creative application of his Magecraft.

A book containing the secrets of Onmyodo, drafted and completed by Abe no Seimei. Coveted and desired by practitioners across the land, it is the ultimate collection of knowledge relating to all matters of the system of Magecraft Abe no Seimei revolutionized. If it is within Onmyodo, then it is also within the Hoki Naiden.

This Noble Phantasm can turn even the most average of men into an outstanding Onmyoji, a credit to Abe no Seimei’s draftsmanship more so than the power of the Noble Phantasm itself. But his handwriting is also garbage to the point of ineligibility, which is a strange contradiction given his clean execution of ofuda and calligraphy.

Naturally, it is also completely useless to Abe no Seimei, as he has everything he needs to know in his head. So instead it becomes a bludgeon and sometimes a thrown weapon, and conveniently also acts as a sort of mana furnace, producing enough of its own ambient magical energy to halve the cost of all acts of Magecraft enacted by Abe no Seimei by half. More importantly, it can leave a nasty bruise on an oni.



The ritual known as the ‘Taizan Fuku no Sai’ is the highest secret of the Abe clan, containing within it the Mystery of True Resurrection, although unmastered. Instead, it was used to extend the lifespan of the Abe clan and their lords, adapting into whatever form was required in order to prolong the ‘fate’ of the target. Such a use was easier and less convoluted than waiting for them to die, and then bringing them back to life.

This Noble Phantasm is not that Taizan Fuku no Sai. It is the mark of Abe no Seimei’s supremacy, turning a miracle of restoring life into one of banishing life. Rather than a request to the kings Enma and Taizan and their infernal judges to protect and restore someone, it becomes condemnation to their judgemental deliberation. It remains the same act, only having undergone the process of altering through raw intent and control over the elements at play.

A cage of heavenly cherry blossom trees, winding out from the ground and trapping within their serpentine trunks spiritual bodies, monstrous entities and divinities -- the enemies of Abe no Seimei’s ambition. The trees themselves are an extension of the domain of Taizan, and his fellow Yama Kings, a literal breach of the ‘underworld’ beyond the Underside. Those things trapped within have their force of providence progressively reduced and their state weakened, brought closer and closer to the state of ‘judgement’.

The arboreal chains which forge the cage shoot forth as lighting bolts, winding through the air in odd angles and twists, until they converge and strangle the corpus of their target, eventually forming a complete cherry blossom, surrounded by the spider lily.

A Noble Phantasm that is just a weird flex on his part.

Origin: The Holy Christian Bible, Old Testament

Era: Age of Gods, B.C

Gender: Male.

Alignment: Neutral Good

Backstory:
Moses was initially born to an Israelite family, however, the ruling Pharaoh, Seti I ordered for all male Israelite children to be drowned in the river Nile. To escape this fate, Moses' mother hid him in a basket near some bulrushes and sent him down the river where he was found and adopted by Seti I's daughter. After this point, Moses was raised alongside Rameses II like a brother and the two became friends.

When Moses became an adult, he accidentally killed an Egyptian who was hurting one of the slaves and was forced to abandon his princely life. After discovering the truth of his identity from God on Mount Horeb and being ordered to rescue Israelites, Moses returned to his homeland. When Moses told Ramesses II to free the Israelites, Ramesses II refused. So, Moses set off the 10 Plagues of Egypt. Ramesses finally agreed with Moses' request when the Pharaoh's firstborn son was killed by the final plague.

However, despite not bearing any ill will or hatred towards Moses, Ramesses still felt anger due to his son's death. One of Ramesses II's advisers persuaded him to lead a legion of charioteers to attack Moses and the leaving Israelites. When Moses saw the coming troops he displayed the miracle of God by parting the Red Sea and lead his people across it. Seeing that miracle, Rider decided to simply let his surrogate brother and once closest friend go, and bid him a farewell.

Personality:
In most cases, Moses carries himself gingerly as if he were afraid of breaking things around himself, shoulders somewhat hunched, his voice almost apologetic. However, when faced with injustice or called to defend his fellow man, Moses undergoes a metamorphosis with his back straightening, his stance solidififying, and his voice boominh with confidence with as flames of determination dance behind his eyes.
Once he has entered this state and decided upon a course of action, Moses will not, simply cannot stop himself from seeing things through for better or for worse.

It is that very trait which led to what he believes to be his greatest failure; the horrors Egypt suffered under the plagues. Loving his adopted family and home as much as he loved his own people, being forced to battle them all but destroyed Moses who to this day aches at the thought of facing them again, still believing them to despise his very existence. That being said, Moses has not turned against his faith.

In layman's term, Moses would be this casual and funny clutzy fellow who apologizes too much! He is also chill and is childlike!

STR:C| END:D | AGI:D | MAG:A | LCK:D | NP:A

— Class Skills —
Territory creation: C

Having the aptitude to create a territory advantageous to oneself as a magus. Moses is a wanderer, and so is not suited for the creation of proper workshops. He is, however, passable in the creation of more mobile forms of territories, though these cannot reach the same heights as a stationary one.

Item Construction: C

Moses has the aptitude to create items containing magical energy. He is not a renowned creator of Mystic Codes, but is nonetheless capable in the art, and is capable of creating holy items as well as excellent food and drink, if given sufficient materials and time.

— Personal Skills —
Jacob's Limbs (ヤコブの手足, Yakobu no Teashi): A

It is an old method of hand-to-hand combat that was continuously inherited from Jacob and once pushed to its limits, one can triumph even over an archangel. According to legends, a saint who mastered this can surely beat an “angel of destruction” that leads 12,000 angels to death. Moses is well versed in this martial art, even before God giving him the wisdom to use it, Moses is already a skilled hand-to-hand combatant in his younger days and had countless sparring and competitions with Ozymandias with him being the superior one. Moses devastatingly demonstrated his hand-to-hand skills against King OG of Bashan and his army of titans, emerging victorious with Caleb and Joshua.

Revelation(啓示, Keiji): A
It is a Skill to "hear the voice of heavens" and take optimum action; a Skill equivalent to Instinct, a sixth sense regarding battles. However, 'Revelation' accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal (for instance, choosing the most suitable path while traveling). Because there is no basis to it therefore it cannot be explained to others clearly. It is a Skill held by the soul of the user.

No other Prophet from the Old Testament is on par with Moses, the fact that he is able to talk to God directly is definitely something. This is true to his legend that God talked to Moses through a Burning Bush.

Baptism Rite (洗礼咏唱, Senrei Eishō?): A
A type of magecraft that changed style into a church form. It is tremendously effective on a spiritual body. For simplicity sake and to avoid confusion, it is its prototype form that is in its present day, refined by the Church.

— Noble Phantasms —


B Rank ||Anti-Unit/Anti-Egyptian|| Range: 5 || Max Targets:5
When transformed into a serpent, it is equivalent to a Phantasmal Beast.


A+ Rank ||Anti-Army/Anti-Egyptian|| Range: 10-50 || Max Targets: 500

The staff he used to split the Red Sea shares the same origin as the cruciform snake staff originating from Leviathan. Their friendship was put to test when Moses became prophet of the Israelites and began to preach the teachings of God, denouncing the gods of Egypt. According to Ozymandias, the light of which he used to split the Red Sea resembled the starlight projected by Excalibur, though the light from Excalibur was far more powerful and brighter.

This is the final Noble Phantasm of Moses. It is not Water Magecraft but a destructive force of mana from the heavens aka sky that beams its path thus causing a terraformation effect hence the red sea was split.

Attribute: This will be given to you upon approval.

Era: Age of Man

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Personality:Rational, yet placid. However, at things that are very interesting to him/her, da Vinci will jump at it with sparkling eyes. A type of genius that accurately grasps one’s abilities. They are always composed even in a desperate situation with no escape. For Da Vinci, the “unexpected” doesn’t simply occur, and even if it does occur, Da Vinci completely assesses with great interest that rare situation. Although even if they have a face that grasps anything, one should not be restricted, nor is it good, to completely rely on them. Even so while extremely intelligent, Da Vinci is also humble and kind to those around her, though she is more than willing to boast of her greatness when reasonably allowed.

Da Vinci is relatively unaware of their female body and displays a lack of shame about it, admitting to be a bit of a pervert. She also displays a penchant love for birds, keeping a beautifully made mechanical bird on her shoulder at all times.

Finally in the master/servant relationship Da Vinci considers the Master as a “pupil” and conducts themselves as a “teacher”. Conducting themselves as someone who has a familiarity similar to a “teacher who is close in age” to their pupil rather than someone who is a “great teacher”.

The reason she answered the call for summoning is as a result of her own curiosity regarding the nature of the holy grail war itself that said her wish for the grail is to have the grail itself for academic research purposes. Perhaps she has another wish but she isn't telling anyone what it is.

Title(s): Sassy Child

Gender: Female

Age: 32

Alignment: Neutral

Rank: Cause

Objective for the Grail: It's honestly rather silly... Money. Yeah, not a big plan to be honest, because she isn't really going to the war for the victory.

Command Seal: A surprisingly simple mark that looks like like a collection of petals on a flower.

Personality: A rather charming individual. She is dedicated to her mission. It may as well be that she becomes a bit of a machine when it comes to tasks dedicated to her shrine and duties. Only really cheering up when things go off the rails.

Bio: The Katsu family may not seem too important. Simply put they have lived at a single shrine of over ten generations. Tending to the wishs of the kitsune spirit who is said to reside there. They tend to the floorboards, they clean and wash the tiles. There is nothing all that special about them. They are a modest family, who have trained themselves to defend against bandits, and to read in multiple languages from scrolls that have washed ashore.
But time is not kind to old families. As faith in spirits fades, the shrines slowly lose their luster. Money is required, and sometimes one cannot make that while wandering the streets of Tokyo. So, Chieko, second daughter and less loved their her sisters, volunteered to take on a spiritual journey to Paris. To build a stronger footing for the Katsu family and their beloved shrine.

Elemental Affinity: Ether

Magecraft:
- General Magecraft: The Basics of Magecraft. Chieko is versed enough in simple magecraft that she can utilize the basics. Or in the case where she might not be able to use it, has a complete understanding of how and why it works.

- Kotodama mysticism: The Japanese belief that mystical powers dwell in words and names. English translations include "soul of language", "spirit of language", "power of language", "power word", "magic word", and "sacred sound". The notion of kotodama presupposes that sounds can magically affect objects, and that ritual word usages can influence our environment, body, mind, and soul. It is the control of a name that gives one power of another person or object. It is essentially taking control of the spirit of an object. For example, using the words "Door Shut" will make an open door in her area shut. Because she is taking the spirit, and giving it a command. Proper utilization of this control can even be used against humans. Though any decent mage can easily wash the control away, and it's more like incredibly convincing orders than actually forcing anybody.
This form of mysticism even includes the ability to drag for spirits, as long as their name is known to the person trying to draw them forth. Which is why when communing with the dead, Chieko must ask for the name of the person she is seeking.

- Ukehi Ritual: A ritual for divination. By communing with the gods, one is able to use one of six possible functions.
- Ask for information or messages from the kami
- Establish the will of the kami
- Predict the outcome of an event
- Enervate or animate living beings
- Control bad weather
- Kill one's enemies
The dictates of ukehi can come as a dream, but more commonly the petitioner would use the ritual to ask a question of the kami and then await an omen of some sort to confirm their response.

- Kiai (Martial Arts): A Kiai is the shouting often associated with martial arts. When shouting, one empowers their action. For example, while a punch may knock a man back a foot, utilizing Kiai in conjunction with that punch can knock them back ten feet. Essentially an act of taking the spiritual force of ones words, and applying them to an action. As a practitioner of various forms of japanese martial arts, the Kiai amplifies that power greatly. So that even when facing somebody physically stronger, a single blow can demolish their defense.

Crest: None. Rather the family line has existed since the Feudal Era, and their shrine has existed as a cornerstone for years. They have no crest, but rather are an old family with great respect.

Weapons:
- Katsu Shrine Armor: The metal plates on her dress are not just for show. They are arranged in such a way as to mimic the foundation and landscape of the Katsu's family shrine. This imbues a kind of mobile shrine onto Chieko. A protection that requires any attack be of the level to destroy a shrine before it can harm her. As such, things like bullets cannot harm her. Or any magic that is directed at her will suffer a penalty.
- Shrine Tree Seeds: By planting a single seed, within a day a tree shall grow. These are seeds filled with spirits, who acts as guardians and spies for the Katsu family. It is possible to use these trees in a manner to amplify any defenses the family might have, and to hide them from those seeking to do them harm.
- Shrine in a bag: All the things needed to make a shrine can be carried in a bag. It allows Chieko to take a small building, and make it into a shrine.
