Age: 25
Gender: Male
Master of: Lancer
Command Seal Location: Right Hand
Wish: "To become the strongest magus he can possibly be."
Origin: Calm
Appearance:

Personality:
Respectful and honest Leon was raised to be a gentlemen by his parents. He always keeps it in mind to treat people fairly regardless of gender, or age. He doesn't tend to look down on people but he does occasionally feel the need to look down on certain people who he feels do not deserve respect. Contrary to this however he is very much an elitist mage and feels that people who look down on him as a magus, or to those can't properly control their magic are beneath him in this regard. He views talent, and hard work is better than prestige or glory. Though he seeks to be the best magus he could possibly be he doesn't intend to get there through ill gotten means however he believe the holy grail is his chance to increase the chances of him making breakthroughs in his skill even if it means using it as a crutch.

He intends to look on any partner he receives in the grail war as a partner and as Master of Saber he takes great pride in his servant. He personally views Saber as a close friend of his, and doesn't intend to let him die if he can help it. Though he understands Saber's attitude when it comes to his convictions and allows him to act on them when he can but he is willing to use command seals if he needs to in order to make sure Saber doesn't make a mistake he will regret. He has full trust in his allies, and his servant is no different in this regard. Leon will fight with Saber until he is no longer able to do so himself though he intends to let Ruder do most of the work as to maximize their shared mana pools. While not a coward Leon is willing to back away from a fight if it means he can win a future one.

Biography:

Born in a rural town in the Midwest of America he was the son of a well known magus duo whose families hail from Ireland, and Scotland. His parents were teachers, and instructors of magical arts and worked for the Mage Association's American branch. His parents had great hopes for him, and knew he would be a strong mage someday if they instructed him properly. Though his grand father (mother's side) disliked the idea of forcing on him his parents' highly disturbing fondness for exploring Magecraft he was none the less forced to agree that his parents had the right to raise their child as they saw fit.

Growing up around magi scholars would be both a boon, and a disadvantage for young Leon whom would grow up with some social issues. He would be so used to magic that his parents would have to put spells on him when he was around normal humans to temporarily prevent him from using magic even accidentally. He also knew better than to talk about magic to others and lacking very few other hobbies Leon would make very few friends with normal people. He would also need to work on both normal school curriculum alongside his Magi training that his parents put him through since he was able to comprehend basic level spells. Despite this his parents did indeed very much care for their child, and wanted him to reach his full potential so that one day he could become a strong magus.

He would continue to have very few friends into his teenage years where his father, and grand father would both personally start to teach him their own specialized magical forms. His father was a masterful wind mage, and his grand father knew water magics as well as anyone. He had shown an affinity for both early on in his life and he appreciated his father pushing and leaning on him more than his grand father otherwise he may have never discovered his limits and how to stay within them. He had high ambitions of one day perhaps running his own guild within the magical community, and one of his friends, Gabriel Mackindley, would prove to be a worthy rival as he pushed on Leon to keep himself on his toes. He cherished what few close friends he had, and was grateful for them. Within time he started to develop a certain reputation within his circle of magicians, and even some others as 'The Black Hand Magus' after beating many opponents in a dueling arena while wearing his signature black glove on his left hand. It was not anything he had expected and he only wore the glove because it was a gift from his grand mother whom was also a duelist in her time.

Before he really knew it he was growing into a young adult, and his skills with magic were becoming stronger with each fight as he figured out new ways to use them. Though he was worried he was going to hit his limit soon enough. He continued to work as an recreational mage learning from his father, and others until one day he was approached by the Mage Association. Due to his father's talents, and his grand father's reputation he was considered as a second to his father who they approached first. His father rejected the call to the Holy Grail War believing politics in the matter would fall down on his school. His mother also rejected as she believed that the war was just another mage political struggle more than one that would settle the fate of the world. Thankfully for the mage association young Leon told him he would take up the call. His father encouraged him to refuse but Leon figured if the world could possibly be altered by someone who gains control of the Holy Grail he would take up the call. Of course he himself knew little of the event as his father did not care for such matters but he figured it was best that he learn all he could on the way to the clocktower. With his grand father's blessings and the gift a special treasure he had found in Germany said to the ashes of a long dead hero. Leon goes forward with every intent of proving himself.

Personality
Someone who easily confuses business and pleasure, and doesn't particularly like being in the spotlight. Tends to give encouragement like "You did your best," while healing wounded fighters. Doesn't expect a whole lot from others, but has an easy time laughing at his own failures. Since his failures often include having people die in his arms, this can get a little fucked up. Since he spends a lot of time around killing intent and death, he isn't troubled too easily. Likes to make conversation in any situation, but has no problem shutting up and standing by. Insists on pronouncing certain things wrong.

Biography
Born as Jaques Cabernet in the French countryside, he was the third son of a house of magi who had defected from the Mage's Association and were in hiding. Because the family fortune was running dry, Jaques' parents used their healing magecraft to work as doctors for criminals injured during their activities. Since he displayed powerful circuits and a penchant for learning the family arts, they began preparing him to be the family head over his siblings, readying themselves out of fear that the Clock Tower would soon find and annihilate them.

The Cabernet children were rarely let outside the house, since anyone they met could've been a scout for the Association. Thus, their social skills were mostly developed among each other during their early years. When he was nine, though, Jaques snuck out and played with some other children he met in the woods, just a single time. His father beat him quite badly for that. His parents told him that he, as the future head, was the only child that really mattered, and that they just wanted him to be the best. His brother and sister became resentful, and so they would often beat and bully him as well. No matter who struck him, Jaques would be expected to heal his own wounds.

When he was fifteen, Jaques snuck out of the house for the second time in his life. This time, he went further than the woods where the children played. He caught a plane to London, and before his family realized what was happening he had reported their hidden home to the Clock Tower Enforcers. His family was dealt with, but for coming forward Jaques was given the opportunity to cut ties with them and become a mage of the Association. He changed his name, and Jack Kabernett was given a formal education in simple things like familiars and boundary fields, as well as mainstream forms of healing.

Jack's healing was considered very high-quality by the English magi, and it became common for him to be present during duels of magecraft, standing by to save the loser, and sometimes winner, from death. Quarrelling mages loved to have a strong healer on hand, as it meant they didn't have to hold back at all, since Jack would be able to handle the healing even if they beat their opponent within an inch of their life. Jack engaged in duelling as well, once he got involved with that community, losing more fights than he won but still walking away with more money than he started. His cleverness and strength was rarely enough to stand up to the more establish duellists, but his reputation as a subpar fighter was outweighed by his reputation as a great healer. He would be called on as a 'safety net' when magi were working with risky spells or creatures, and even got the opportunity to teach a few classes on healing to young mages. Now, he's been called on to support the Masters and Servants of the Black Faction with his skills, and summon a Servant of his own.

School of Magecraft: Healing/Flesh Manipulation

Skills/Spells List
-Bodysmithing (10/day): Forge simple objects and structures from corpses.
-Create Fleshling (8/day): Forms a small familiar out of willing or defenceless biological material. A fleshling is only about the size of a hand and has not much fighting power, but can be configured to have wings, gills, legs, etc.
-Minor Healing (8/day): A quick healing spell with range equivalent to a large room. Each casting can completely clear a person's body of small scratches, remove one moderate wound, or something in between those two.
-Open Wounds (6/day): A magical attack that manipulates the target's flesh to deal damage.
-Moderate Healing (4/day): Requires a few seconds to work and for Jack to touch the target, but heals for a much larger amount, capable of removing multiple wounds.
-Physical Rush (4/day): Physically strengthens a target for a few minutes by improving the functions of their body.
-(Un)Natural Weapons (4/day): Adds to a target some sort of attack method, such as bone blades, claws, fangs, horns, or acid spit.
-Disable (4/day): A magical attack that morphs the target's body to make fighting more difficult. Possibilities include disfiguring the tongue to stop magical incantations, or merging the legs together to prevent running.
-Group Healing (3/day): Heals all allies within an area. Range and healing amount are similar to Minor Healing.
-Create Monster (3/day): Transforms a dead or incapacitated creature into a familiar for combat. As with fleshlings, they can be configured to have different natural weapons during creation.
-Restoration (3/day): Removes negative status afflictions from a target at moderate range, and also provides minor healing.
-Resistance (2/day): Makes a target's body much more resilient against one particular physical phenomenon, such as fire, cold, poison, etc.
-Extreme Healing (1/day): Massive healing to a touched target over a few seconds, clearing most wounds. Can't regrow limbs, but can reattach them if they are stuck onto the body during the spell.
-Extreme Restoration (1/day): A spell that works over a few hours, during which both Jack and the patient must not move around much. Can remove extremely bad effects on the body, and regrow missing parts.

Amount of Magecraft Mana: A-

Other: Medical expertise. Moderate hand-to-hand skill. High strength and stamina.

Class Name: Caster
True Name: Alberich
Nicknames: The Dwarf, Oberon, Lord of the Nibelungen, Fairy King
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Servant of: Vladimir Moroz
Wish: Being able to feel love again.
Weapons: Whip

Parameters
Strength: B
Endurance: D
Agility: D
Mana: A
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills
Item Construction A: As a dwarf, craftsmanship is Caster's bread and butter. He forged a ring of power which the gods fought over, and a Noble Phantasm for Theodoric the Great. When working with metal, he will make unparalleled magical items.
Territory Creation B: Creates a sort of workshop which is essentially a 'forge' and 'vault'.

Personal Skills
Liebesverzicht -: Denial of love. Caster gave up love in return for the ability to forge a ring from the Rhein. This is generally a drag, but it does grant complete immunity to charm, seduction, fascination, etc.
Primordial Rune A: Knowledge of Primal Runecraft spread around by Odin during the Age of Gods. Very different from the runes modern magi use. A versatile magecraft that involves drawing symbols to apply effects, used in tandem with Item Construction to inscribe powerful spells into objects. The runes Caster inscribed into his magical ring are of this nature.
Auberon -: Status as a chief of the Nibelungs and essentially the Fey King Oberon. Nature spirits can be drawn out of the surrounding world and raised up into phantasmal beings such as dwarves, elves, giants, faeries, etc. These beings are at Caster's command, and can serve as both a powerful fighting force, and also workers in the tasks of forging and construction. Considering the mythical items that can be attributed to the craftsmanship of dwarves, they are no mere assistants, as their work is the stuff of legends.
Fey Magic C+: Fairies often provide blessings onto heroes they support and curses onto those who offend them. Thus, magecraft using fortune and misfortune is possible. Alberich is lacking in blessings, but his ability to curse is quite high.

Noble Phantasms
Name: Tarnhelm
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 0
Description: A magical helmet crafted by Caster's brother at his request. Grants abilities of invisibility and shapeshifting to the wearer. Caster makes use of this to change into terrible beasts for combat, various people for trickery, a swift wind for transportation, and so on. In cases of transformation and invisibility, status display and magical energy emanations will shift accordingly, meaning they'll vanish completely in the latter case. Taking on the shape of a monster or warrior can be useful in battle, but Caster's form will not quite match up to the real thing if he tries to become something 'greater' than himself.

Name: Der Ring des Nibelungen
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 0~30
Description: The magical ring Caster forged from the gold of the river Rhein by giving up his ability to love. Engraved with powerful runic spells, it is a 'ring of power' that even ancient gods and giants saw as a valuable bargaining chip. Its exact abilities are not explained in any legend, but it contains a reserve of magical energy and can raise the abilities of anyone who wears it, on top of being able to quickly activate the runes already engraved onto it. It is a simple but useful buff. However, Caster also laid a curse on the ring when it was stolen from him, saying that until it returned to him all others who possessed it would fall to ruin. Using its true name, the ring can be launched as an attack and embedded into the target's skin. From there, a powerful force of grudges is unleashed on the Saint Graph, wreaking havoc on the body and reducing abilities by an amount depending on the target's Luck. As long as the ring is left on another person, Caster can't access its other powers, but the passing of time will only make the curse worse on the target. He can re-materialize it on his finger when he needs its power again or when the curse finishes off an enemy.

Despite being a bearded dwarf in most dominant tales, certain poetry describes Alberich as having the appearance of a young boy, and that is the appearance he has taken.

Appearance:

-
Personality: Ecstatic, obsessive and a little crazy.

Biography: A child prodigy born to a well-off British family, she was taught her family's Numerology magecraft from a young age. Their Numerology was mostly derived from an ancient Babylonian tradition rather than more contemporary methods derived from Kabbalah. It's primary function was to predict outcomes of current events and discern personality traits. However, more sinister sects could alter other people's temperament's, allowing mages to manipulate others from the shadows so that their visions of the future were realised. This was how the Dirac's were able to amass influence within the Mage Association.

Paula herself is particularly math obsessed, even having earned a Masters from a typical university. She tries to reduce everything to an equation, a delicate dance of numbers working off of each other. When controlling for every variable, math can be used to predict everything. This is why she covets the Grail as the Grail is a direct line to the Root of the World, the only thing that could possibly account for everything. It has been said that mathematics is the language of God, so surely it must be the true path to the Root?

*Set (8): A trap spell that ties an enemy to the ground for a few seconds.
*Square (5): A spell that amplifies a spell's power. You could say it squares a spells output.

*Mean (3): A counterspell that scatters a spell over an area, diminishing its effects. In other words it regresses to the mean.
*Dry (2): An Earth elemental spell that separates solid from liquid,rendering things dry. She mostly uses this to maintain her stash of fancey chaulk!
*Granular Manipulation (3): A spell that allows for the manipulation of granular solids like sand, gravel or dust. She mostly uses this to keep her chaulkboards clean but it does have combat applications.
*Predict (1): A lengthy Numerological ritual that lets the caster see a possible outcome of events.

Wish: To have his family restored.

Abilities: A very fast and precise spearman and an expert rider.

Skills:
*Bravery (C): The ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination.
*Nature of the Rebellion Spirit (B): The temperament to never remain at one location and never embrace a lord. A wandering star that does not have the capacity to be king nor is capable of finding his own king. Negates the effects of Charisma with the same rank.

Name: Perseus's Mantle (Fake)
Quote: "Not even the boundaries of the Self will betray your position."
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1-2
Description: One of the five NPs given to Perseus for the sole purpose of slaying Medusa. According to myth it renders the user invisible, however it's designed purpose was to traverse the Bounded Field of the Shapeless Isle undetected.

In it's Fake form the mantle can alter the user's appearance instead of rendering him invisible, but his Encroaching Myth skill allows it's ability to cross Bounded Fields undetected retained.

Name: Lead Spear-The Chimera's Bane
Quote: "Hoist by it's own arrogance, how ironic?"
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 10-50
Description: Upon arriving in Lycia to vanquish the Chimera he found he could not pierce the hide of the beast. The Chimera was in some way a kin of the Nemean Lion that would later be slain by Heracles. After narrowly being incinerated by the monster's fire-breath he mounted a block of lead onto the end of a spear and flung it into the Chimera's mouth just as it was about to let loose its flame, melting the block and blocking it's air passage causing it to suffocate.

Upon first glance the spear is unremarkable, even mundane looking. It is an 8 foot metal pole topped with an oversized lead tip. The lead tip is malleable and can be stretched and manipulated to suit a variety of combat situations. The true nature of the weapon is revealed upon successfully receiving an enemy attack with the tip. The spear absorbs the attack's output and reflects it back at an equivalent rank with any effects retained. Depending on the nature of the attack appropriate parameter checks may be required.

Name: Stone Rain-The Amazon's Undoing
Quote: "It's literally just rock's fall, everyone dies."
Rank: D+
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 30-100
Description: His accomplishment of slaying the Chimera had gone unrecognised and so he was tasked with a series of labours (not unlike a certain demigod who would succeed him). One of these labours was to defeat the Amazons, a race of warrior women. He easily beat them by just dropping boulders on them from his flying horse.

When manifested, it causes meteor-like boulders to rain down in an 50m radius around him. Can be manifested on the ground but is most effective from the air.

Name: Bellerophon: Bridle of Chivalry
Quote: "Upon its wings I shall soar above Olympus!"
Rank: A++
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2-50
Description: A shining golden harness, bridle, and saddle set capable of fully controlling a divine beast. It has no effect by itself, but once fastened to the mount, it increases all attributes by one rank and allows for the beast to use its most powerful charge to physically destroy the target. It must be fastened after the mount is summoned or simultaneously as it emerges from the summoning circle. It is an attack supreme in attack and defence, capable of killing any servant directly. Rider uses Bellerophon as his personal mount, the mythical winged horse Pegasus. While summoning a legendary beast is an ability rivalling that of a Noble Phantasm, it is done independently of Bellerophon as one of Rider's innate abilities due to his deeds as a Heroic Spirit. Being the originally owner and namesake of this NP it receives a boosted modifier. Can be performed on the ground but is most effective from the sky.

Name: Turpin
Title: Archbishop of Rheims
Class: Saber
Gender: Female
Birth and Death Dates: Matters of France
Alignment: Lawful Good
Master: Jack Kaybernett
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Personality: Neither cruel nor petty, she has sworn loyalty to a cause. To disregard how the people of her god may view her, she saw the dreams of the King Charlemagne as the most true course of action. Her life, her duty, everything she has done leads to sacrifice. Giving up her own happiness for the ambitions of another. That is Turpin.
But to think she is serious, or all consumed by her beliefs is the most extreme folly. In fact, to take her seriously at all is to set oneself up for ruin. Like the Paladins of Charlemagne, Saber is the least serious person in the room. One who bursts into a castle without thinking, and declaring it defeated despite the army still staring her down. It is confidence in god, and her own self.
She never backs down from a challenge, as there is no challenge that scares her. Simply one that excites her, and gives her a cause to sacrifice for once more.

Bio: It doesn't matter who Turpin was before Charlemagne. Because she doesn't care about who she was before then. Yet, according to Flodoard, the tenth-century historian of the church of Reims, Turpin was originally a monk at the Basilica of St Denis near Paris. She may have served as a chorbishop under Bishop Milo of Trier (who was also acting as bishop of Reims) before becoming full bishop upon Milo's death around 762. The date of Turpin's election as a bishop is unknown, usually being placed in 748 or 753. According to Hincmar, the later archbishop of Reims, Turpin occupied herself in securing the restoration of the rights and properties of her church, the revenues and prestige of which had been impaired under the rule of the more martial Milo.
And she may well have stayed there. Working on the restoration of such a structure if not for the man known as Charlemagne. The new Holy Roman Emperor and his cry for battle. While many of her ilk believed that the role of the religious was to stay home and pray, Turpin saw otherwise. She saw a connection between religion and war. Was this religion really one of peace? Or perhaps this was a religion of war? Of brave men who created peace through war and the spread of the Christian faith? To Turpin, that answer became... Yes.
Despite the protests, she took a horse, and rode off to join Charlemagne. And when she met him... She fell in love. She saw a man who worked tirelessly, and sometimes without the praise or love he was owed. And yet, as a holy woman, she could not give him that... Rather, she turned her attention to the war. Vowing that she would give him what he desired and that would be a proof of the secret love she held towards such a great man.
She was rewarded in turn for this love. The sword Almace, gifted to her as a gift for her loyalty. A blade that could freeze any heretic. And in time, she may have had the courage to tell him how much she loved him.
Except for the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. A battle that resulted in the death of hundreds of loyal soldiers. Turpin was no exception. Skewered by arrows, swords, and spears, she and Roland were the last two standing. And then... There was one. Turpin was filling a horn with water... When she died. Her body falling into the water, and floating there in serenity amongst the dead. She never did get to tell that man... How much she loved him.

Weapon: Turpin's primary weapon is Almace. Her other armaments include her armor, and a shield. It is possible for Turpin to be summoned with her unnamed steed, who was often described as "of all four-footed beasts none may outstrip him."

Parameters:

Endurance: A

Magical Energy: B
Luck: B
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Class Skills:
- Magic Resistance A+: Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a 'Magus Killer'. As Turpin's faith in god is so high, it acts as a superior defense against pagan magics.
- Riding C: Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts. Turpin was not known for her riding capabilities, and the horses she did ride, tended to be stolen from men she had killed.

Personal Skills:
- Battle Continuation A: Turpin was impaled by arrows and spears, yet continued to fight countless enemies. By the end of it, over four hundred lay dead around her. In her dying moments, she continued to walk on, collecting water in a horn to give to Roland. She was the second to last to die, with Roland following after. This is a Skill that allows for the continuation of combat after sustaining mortal wounds. It will also reduce mortality rate from injury. This Skill represents the ability to survive and/or the mentality of one who doesn't know when to give up, consisting of one's strength of vitality in predicaments.
- Miracle C: A skill that can make a miracle that occasionally makes the impossible possible. Although a part of this has similarities with the Skill Pioneer of the Stars, it is something essentially different. There are also differences regarding the things this can be applied to. Often times, the miracle in question is a kind of healing, and can remove the effects of life threatening poisons.
- Incitement A: A skill that functions as the acquisition of the words and gestures to lead the citizens and the masses. Especially, when employed against an individual, it functions as a sort of mental attack. For a Bishop, this kind of mental attack sways the masses to fight for God. The armies of Charlemagne, under Tulpin's gaze, were without question ready to throw their lives away.

NOBLE PHANTASMS

___________________________________________________________________________******____
Name: Vladimir Moroz
Nicknames: The Count of Russia
Age: 45
Gender: Male
Master of: Caster
Command Seal Location: His left Hand
Origin: Love
___________________________________________________________________________******____
Personality: Obsession. A blinding obsession boarding on an addiction. It is a flaw, brutal, and unfixed. It is a kind of mentality that has a man turn to a single point, and chase it, ignoring the hypocrisy, or the much better options around him. But such a man is not heartless. Just obsessive, and through that, self-destructive. His tendency to get lost in his work has ruined his personal relationships with others, and it is difficult for him to open up to others.
Outside of his obsessions though, he is a relatively kind, if cruel man. He is ruthless in his efficiency, and sees little reason to spare others pain and suffering if they defy him. It is not evil, it is just the way the world works. People must suffer if they transgress their boundaries for that is the way of things. Yes, even him.

Biography: Ded Moroz, the man the Russians may know as 'Father Christmas.' Sometimes referred to as a demon, long before the word meant something sour. Something evil. He was a hero who fought Baba Yaga, healed the sick, and created a granddaughter from snow. That is the story, and the legend of the Moroz family.
The family lives in Veliky Ustyug, the homeplace of Ded Moroz. He was a wizard of the winter times, who would trek through the snow to bring gifts on the day of New Years. His legend is ingrained into Slavic folktales, and his descendents have followed suit. For some of them, they keep the tradition alive. Putting on a red suit, and traveling out into the cold winters. Placing gifts down chimneys, and leaving before they can be found. Some over the generations have even made claim to using their magic to keep the hag Baba Yaga trapped in her home. Performing the ritual required once a month.
But Vladimir, the latest in a long line of Moroz’s is an addict to the old ways. As if it’s an addiction, and he drinks from it regularly.
A member of the mage association, he was heralded as a genius at a young age. He proved his talents in early competitions, and married at the age of 23. If you looked at him from the outside you’d say he was an example of a perfect man. Loved, talented, and ingenious. Even teaching the next generation of mages. But, that is an outsider’s perspective.
In reality, his research became a dead end. And his obsession to solve the problem cost him everything. There would be weeks, approaching months where he wouldn’t leave his workshop. Ignoring his wife and child who became aware of his growing instability. In a shocking turn, they left him, leaving him to his obsession and his ever growing madness. He became cruel to his students, ruthless, and eventually, he left his role as a teacher, so that he could focus entirely on his dead end work.
It seems... Even a man on the end of his ropes can find something to hope for. In this Grail War.

This snow girl has been passed from member to member of the Moroz family, and is considered without a doubt the most powerful doll of its kind. It can transform it’s limbs and body into razor sharp blades, that slice through stone and rock like a knife through butter. Or to move around like fine snow. This creation is one of the greatest mystic codes of the Moroz family, and some claim it was made using snow from the ice age. A mystery that makes it nigh invulnerable to anything but the strongest of fires. As it is not a traditional spell, but rather a construct, it can be considered to have 'unlimited uses.' Due to this though, the mana required to help maintain the snowdoll in active combat makes it impossible to use any other spell in the process.
- Russian Alchemy: An alchemy that finds itself less in the making of precious metals, and more in the making of life. An alchemy more fundamental in creating homunculi, or poisonous cocktails than in turning coal to gold. Poisons, acids, things that kill. Liquids that preserve the body, or are designed to undo pain.
- Golem Craft: An advancement of the knowledge gathered through familiarcraft. It is the basis of the Snegurochka, and thus the basis of his greatest strength. It is the understanding of Golemcraft that allowed his ancestor Dez Moroz to create the original Snegurochka. It is possible for other golems to be made using other materials, but there is a clear preference for those of the Snegurochka.

Amount of Magecraft Mana: C

Other: His magic is primarily about creating and using items. As such, his only offensive magic tends to be his snowdoll. Which is an autonomous doll. So spell slots would be useless.

-
Personality: On the surface Thomas is a polite and charming individual, the very picture of an English gentleman. Having spent the better part of his life as part of what is essentially a secret society Thomas has developed a way of dealing with people that can best be described as diplomatic and restrained; he is friendly, approachable, and amiable and yet rarely if ever gives any sort of hint towards his true feelings or motivations.

A determined individual who is not easily swayed by others and someone with the fortitude to forge his own path and follow his own goals even if others seek to place obstacles in his path, yet savvy enough to toe the line and not make enemies unnecessarily. Such social acumen was needed to survive in the Golden Dawn, especially when he is seen as such a… controversial figure by many.

Biography: Thomas comes from a long line of Magus; not the most impressive line, not the oldest and their name hasn’t always been Gardner, but Thomas’ family have been practitioners of Witchcraft in Europe and Britain since the middle ages, engaging in both sides of the art as both black witches focused on curses and hexes and white witches focused on protection from the former.

Even with this age the Gardner Magic Crest is not as well developed as it could be. Being a witch in Britain has always been a hazardous occupation and the family has been forced into hiding a number of times over the years as the craze of witch-hunting rose and fell in popularity. In particular the writing of the Witchcraft Act of 1604 was nearly the death of the Gardner line and their Magic Crest was nearly lost during this period.

Thankfully they managed to outlast the witch hunters and the family survived, although diminished. Over time they began to recover and the complexity of their crest grew in leaps and bounds although it wasn’t until Thomas’s grandfather and great grandfather that the family truly began to flourish. They are the ones mostly responsible for making the family what it is, at least in terms of wealth and influence. However, it was also his grandfather than nearly ruined them.

Thomas’ grandfather joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn after being invited to be a member by another magus via their joint association with the Clocktower. Being a talented Magus in his own right his grandfather quickly rose through the ranks but was at the same time a controversial figure who upset a lot of people by publishing books on occultism. The books were complete nonsense which he saw as both a way to make money while also having some fun but others in both the Golden Dawn and the Clocktower saw it as potentially threatening to reduce the amount of mystery in the world by revealing secrets about Magecraft. In the end he was acquitted and no punishment was given, but the Gardner name was forever tarnished by the accusations.

This controversy has directly affected Thomas as well and means that a number of people within the order have taken a disliking to him on principle. It doesn’t help that his style of Magecraft is seen by some as out-dated, archaic or even barbaric in nature; it seems even Magi are not immune to developing certain stigmas around witchcraft. There have been numerous occasions where people have tried to question whether or not his family should even be allowed to keep their association with the order, citing his grandfather’s past discretions as reasons, and whether or not Thomas and his obsolete style of magecraft can possibly contribute anything of worth to the order.

This did not prevent him from climbing the ranks to become a member of the highest order of the Golden Dawn, as progress through the ranks is determined by skill and learning rather than politics, but he had to fight his way through opposition most of the way.

When Thomas was contacted to take part in the Holy Grail War by the Association there were many who sought to argue against his participation, that he should not be allowed to represent their order, even going so far as to suggest that the seals should be removed and given to someone else. Rather than argue in his own defence or try to convince the order to sanction his participation in the Holy Grail war Thomas opted to simply leave; he acquired a suitable catalyst from the Golden Dawn by what some would consider theft and left, lacking the resources of the order to which he may or may not still be a member but backed by the considerable wealth of his family.

Magecraft Section:

School of Magecraft:

Elementalism (Fire and Earth) – Those in the First Order of the Golden Dawn must study the concepts of elementalism and prove their understanding before moving on to the next level. Every member of the Golden Dawn who has advanced past this stage not only knows how to use magecraft that matches their affinity, they also have knowledge of all the other affinities they cannot use. Thomas in particular has a particular affinity for fire and earth.

European Witchcraft – An old form of magecraft not much favoured within the Clocktower due to its close association with curses, European Witchcraft is as much to do with the protection and prevention of curses and afflictions as it is with creating them. Thomas is well versed in the common practices of European Witchcraft including scrying, divination (particularly that will allows for objects/people to be found), healing and protection from harmful magecraft. His particular focus in this area is in the creation and use of Poppets and other items.

Sympathetic magic - A style of magecraft dictated by the laws of Sympathy and Contagion based on the idea that one can influence something, even people, based on its relationship or resemblance to another object. Thomas gained a basic understanding of this craft through his studies of European Witchcraft which makes use of Sympathetic Magecraft in places, particularly in the creation and use of Poppets. Finding himself particularly interested in the subject Thomas continued his studies in this area over the course of decades in order to become a true master of the art, even beyond what is often associated with European Witchcraft.

Skills/Spells List:

Fireball – 8 casts
Greater Fireball – 3 casts
Fire Whip – 4 casts
Earth Wall – 5 casts
Spike Field – 3 casts

Inflict Harm (Requires a Poppet with a strong link to a target) – 3 casts
Inflict Death (Requires a Poppet with a very powerful link to a target) – 1 cast

Mystic Codes:
Grand Poppet – The ultimate expression of Thomas’ art, the Grand Poppet is an item created by Thomas over the course of decades using the principles of European Witchcraft and Sympathetic Magecraft. It is a humanoid figure; a doll woven out of Thomas’ own hair and stained with his blood, creating a Poppet so steeped in Contagion as to be considered unwise or even obscene by other practitioners of his craft, were they to learn of it.

The aim of Sympathetic Magecraft if often to create an object that in some way resembles the object or person that the Magus is attempting to manipulate, but in many ways the Grand Poppet is more real than Thomas is and as such it attracts much of the harm that is intended for him whether that be magical in nature or physical.

Ring of Vampirism – A Mystic Code in the form of a ring which allows for the extraction of blood from a person over short distances, which is then stored inside a small internal reservoir. This object has an extremely short range, between five and ten feet at the most, and works best when in direct contact with the target with greater distances slowing the process of extraction. The target feels no pain and the quantities of blood being extracted are so small as to cause no negative effects to the target.

Image Capturing Glasses – A simple pair of glasses capable of capturing and storing an image of whatever the wearer is observing at any given time and recalling that image when requested.

Amplifier Staff – A simple amplification style Mystic Code resembling an ornate cane or walking stick. Intended to be used to strengthen Thomas’ elemental magecraft in particular should he ever need to get his hands dirty.

Amount of Magecraft Mana: A-

Other: Thomas is proficient at administering first aid and is skilled at sewing and carving sculptures.

Class: Berserker

True Name: Harald Wartooth

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Servant of: N/A

Weapon: Two heavy oak clubs

Wish: To engage in glorious and noble battle once more

Parameters:
STR: B+
CON: A+
AGI: D+
MGI: D
LCK: A

Class Skills:
Mad Enhancement C: Although sane enough to become King of Denmark and rule unopposed for 50 years, he fought like a madman on the field of battle, charging in the ranks of his enemies without armour and wearing only his royal insignia. This skill is drawn from that wild style of fighting, ranking up all of Harald parameters by 1 except MGI and LCK and robbing him of his ability to speak and be reasoned with, though glimpses of sanity can be seen in his eyes at times.

Personal Skills:
Unwounded A: “He went before the armed battalions and gave the raging dangers of war a chance. Yet the spears flung at him could no more harm him then if their blades pointed backwards. When others saw this fighter's woundlessness, they were taken aback and shame spurred them to attack him still more fiercely. Harald, unwounded, killed them with his sword or sent them fleeing."

A variant of Battle Continuation that allows Harald to not only continue fighting after taking mortal injuries, but to appear unwounded no matter how much damage he sustains. This skill is equivalent to Battle Continuation A and allows Harald to continue fighting even when afflicted with deadly injuries and can remain alive as long as one does not receive a decisive fatal wound. Additionally, enemies who attack Harald and who see that their attacks seemingly did no damage, will receive a minus modifier on their strength parameter (if a physical attack was used) or any Noble Phantasms at rank A or below (if Harald was damaged by them).

Military Tactics C: Before battles it was said that Harald would receive guidance from Odin himself about how to win his battles; often this just amounted to forming his army in a wedge shape and charging into the heart of the enemy army, but as these tactics led to Harald conquering all of his enemies you can’t really argue with results. In his maddened state this skill is not suitable to be used to lead troops into battle, but still provides Harald with a boost to the power of his Anti-Army Noble Phantasms as well as being better able to defend against his enemies Anti-Army Noble Phantasms.

Regeneration C: It is said that Harald earned the name “Wartooth” during a battle against Veseti, the Lord of Scandinavia, during which Harald’s two front teeth were knocked out only for them to grow back instantly. Harald will heal from injuries faster than most other Servant’s and at a reduced mana cost for his Master.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: Grav Varer
Title: Final Tribute to a Fallen King
Rank: C+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2-50
Maximum Number of Targets: 250

Description: Upon realised that Harald had been killed during the battle of Bråvalla his opponent, the King of Sweden Sigurd, brought a stop to the fighting and order that Harald’s body be found. The two armies searched for the rest of the morning and eventually found Harald’s body under a pile or corpses piled high enough that a wagon couldn’t drive over it. Sigurd constructed a funeral pyre and placed Harald’s body on it, along with his horse, and bade Harald to ride straight to Valhalla and secure lodging for those who had perished. Thereafter, all the chiefs walked around the pyre throwing weapons and gold onto it.

This Noble Phantasm is an manifestation of the final tribute paid to King Harald on his funeral pyre, a collection of weapons and other items burnt alongside his body and sent to Valhalla with him; the sheer size of that final battle means that Harald has thousands of weapons in his possession, many of which were wielded by warriors worthy of being sent to the Throne of Heroes themselves. Grav Varer allows Harald to summon this vast armoury to the field; sword, spears, axes and even shields and pieces of armour.

As a Berserker Harald does not have much control over this Nobel Phantasm, which if anything makes it more dangerous, and using it causes hundreds upon thousands of weapons, each of which is on the level of a D rank Noble Phantasm themselves, to rain down from the sky.

Name: Ubøjelige Egetræ
Title: Weapons Strong Enough to Withstand the Kings Might
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: Berserker’s strength in battle was so great that any sword he tried to wield would break upon his enemies. No blacksmiths in his employ were able to create a weapon which would last more than a few battles in his hands and he would often find himself fighting hand-to-hand or searching for discarded weapons to use. It wasn’t until he picked up these heavy oaken clubs, little more than thick, sturdy wooden bludgeons, that he found a weapon which would not break under his strength.

While nothing more than simple heavy oaken clubs in truth, these weapons favoured by Berserker took on a legend of their own among his men and his enemies for being the only weapons he ever wielded, aside from those sword which he died holding, which he did not break in battle. These weapons are synonymous with the image of Berserker in battle and as such became Noble Phantasms when he was summoned by the grail; unable to be broken by any test of strength or powerful impact.

Name: Murasaki Hifumi「紫火風水」
Nicknames: N/A
Age: 19 years
Gender: Female
Master of:
Command Seal Location:
Origin: Circular Flow「The Wheel of Samsara」

Personality: Hifumi's has a complicated personality as is expected of any human being. However, her regular self is a bit of diva. Because she's truly gifted and from a respectable bloodline, she tends to have a very big ego. Even though she's really self-centered, she's able to back up her words more often than not. That said, confusing Hifumi's ego with cruelty isn't appropriate. She's more likely to ignore than to torment others if they don't interest her. However, she does have a soft-spot for those she considers "interesting individuals", regardless of what that means.

Biography: A descendant of the one and only Murasaki Shikibu who's an extraordinarily talented writer and mage on her own merits. She was born out of an arranged marriage, to the Second Owner of Japan's most powerful spiritual grounds—the city of Kyoto. From her earliest childhood, Hifumi never disappointed her parents, always showing what the combination of a privileged bloodline and proper upbringing can do. Not only did she excel at magecraft, but also in her mundane tasks as well. In fact, by the time she concluded high school and moved to England to continue her magecraft education at the Clock Tower, Hifumi had 4 published novels all of which are on track to become modern classics of the Japanese literature.
It's expected that after learning about the Holy Grail War—a ritual that she was well acquainted with since it originated from her homeland—Hifumi jumped at the chance of taking part of it. After all, it's nothing short of her obligation to recover this "wish granting device" and bring it back to where it belongs.

School of Magecraft: While Western Magecraft isn't her forte, the basics of the General Magecraft taught at the Clock Tower are like a children's play for Hifumi. Along with knowledge of what may as well be considered a mage's best friend—the nordic Curse Gandr.
However, the Foundation of her magecraft lies in the exploration of art. Most specifically, in the written form. It's a subtle type of magecraft excelling at Bounded Fields—especially when combined with Hifumi's talent wit Imaginary Numbers—and Mental/Sensory Manipulation. In a way, it can be considered the perfect magus' art, a product of boundless at beauty and refinement. Or at least this is what Hifumi thinks of it.

Skills/Spells List:
【Gandr】The only actual directly offensive known by Hifumi. It's essentially a simple sickness curse that has been crank up enough to the point it becomes capable of hitting targets with a power similar to a handgun's bullet. It's a really simple and economic spell—with plenty of interesting variations—for a mage of Hifumi's talent, which allows her to use it more or less at-will (in a manner similar to Rin).
【Bounded Field Creation】The primary use of her magecraft, however it's not a combative one but rather the ability to generate advanced bounded fields with a wide range of effects. Given the fact that this falls under the category of a ritual, the concept of daily usage really doesn't apply here but for simplicity's sake 12/day is probably more than she'll ever do.
【Imaginary Numbers Magecraft】Imaginary Number Space manipulation, this isn't a magecraft that can normally be used on its own but rather as a mean of augmenting Hifumi's Bounded Fields, as such it falls under the same limitations as them.
【Japanese Witchcraft (Poetry/Lyrics)】A specialized form of magecraft derived from onmyōdō and other forms of Far Eastern withcraft styles. As expected, it's forte are curses and spiritual manipulation, applied to writing. A sympathetic type of magic that relies on producing the likeness of others—and thus, influence their—through words rather than a physical or spiritual connection.

Based on the axiom that "a writer creates a world whenever they put their hands to work", a universal through that—even to this day—is recognized by anyone who has ever read a book in their life. With the same ease, that they create a world, they do change and shape our perception of reality itself.

Words are powerful weapons. "The pen is mightier than the sword" and, for this reason, shaping reality with them is easy.

While the bounded field creation aspect is what Hifumi focuses on the most, using her words to create barriers, and zones that are almost completely cut from reality—shaped by nothing but the power of her imagination—thanks to her ability to tamper with Imaginary Numbers Space.

In fact, her strongest bounded field is simply the ability to create a "line" that separates space by producing a small "gap" leading to Imaginary Numbers Space. While it's not wide enough to use for travel or to dump others into, it's a barrier of near total isolation that displaces space around itself. She can also create bounded fields that camouflage the space around themselves, curse others and a number of any other advanced effects.

Naturally, this also allows her to store her magic in specially prepared mystic codes in the format of scrolls, in a manner similar to that of those who practice Gem Magecraft.

Specific uses other than bounded field creation and alteration are:
【Curses】The ability to change other's fate. It can go from giving them a headache, causing them to stub their toes on a staircase, all the way to tripping down stairs, losing the lottery, to even deadly sickness and outright death by accident or illness. On the other hand, these can also heal, help you find a lost item, find your way out of a maze, among any number of benign ways to alters one's fate. Sadly, a curse to win the lottery is a bit too high level for Hifumi. Effects that rely on affecting the bodies and minds of others who also possess large magical energy reserves are notoriously hard to accomplish, but alteration of external fate is far more possible. 12/day
【Rewriting】Altering existing magecraft to fit one's needs. As long as Hifumi is able to comprehend the workings of someone else's foundation, she can rewrite their magic to fit her will. This is not very useful in a combative manner (like the rest of her magic) but can work like a dispelling effect. It really shines when dispelling and altering the effects of lingering magic (especially those that relies on glyphs), making it very suitable for destroying others' bounded fields, and counter cursing. 12/day.
【Imaginary Song/Phantom Poetry】The ability to create a world through words and reflected shadows. This is not an illusionary trait but rather the shaping of Imaginary Numbers Space into something that can affect reality through the careful application of words. In essence, it creates "that which does not exist". Hifumi uses this to produce Imaginary Familiars able to influence the world around herself. However, since they aren't real and "do not belong" in reality, their appearing is vague and foreboding to anyone who hasn't read, or heard, the story Hifumi created for them. In essence, they look like blobs of shadow given physicality, but since they aren't real their shape is limited by the observer's imagination until it's "fixed" by an external source. A concept similar to that of the Schrödinger's Cat, in which the reflected shadows both exist and not until being confirmed or denied by an onlooker. This can also be used to generate "phantom attacks". However, as expected of Imaginary Numbers based effects, they are almost worthless against "things that exist" but very powerful against things that "don't exist" including others spells and all manner of spiritual bodies. Though, it's unlikely that Hifumi is powerful enough to seriously harm any existence greater than a familiar or non-incarnated demon. 12/day

Mystic Codes:
"Ink blacker than shadows
Paper whiter than snow
A fox's tail brush dances in the poet's hand"

A conceptual set of implements used for Hifumi's art. They are amplifier type mystic codes helping her focus and control the flow of her magical energy much better than if she were to do use undignified tools to work her craft.

"A robe of the finest silk
Twelve layers within
A maiden wears it"

A magnificent twelve-layered ceremonial kimono, used solely by those who belong in the Imperial Court as princesses and ladies-in-waiting. A set of formal wear that Hifumi usually doesn't make too much use of because it's cumbersome to wear and seriously limits her mobility for daily life purposes. However, if she wears it while practicing her writing, inside of her workshop, it further amplifies her magecraft skills to a nearly unbelievable level. It's a tool that stores an enormous supply of magical energy, soaked into every of its fibers.

For all intents and purposes, whenever Hifumi is wearing her ceremonial robes, she can use twice as much magic as she would normally be able to. Even though the output of every individual spell doesn't change, just their quantity that increases.

Amount of Magecraft Mana: A

Other: She has a pair of servants to help her with the complex process involved in the preparation of her magecraft, as well as work as maids serving her in all needed purposes.
