The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.


The first and only utilisation of the Fuyuki Grail took place at the dawn of the 19th century, and became a disaster. Only meant to be a ritual to amass energy, it devolved into an all-out fight far sooner than anticipated; the founding families were devastated and the activated Grail was destroyed in carrying out an act of vengeance.

But mages have long memories, and the allure of granting a wish or brute-forcing a way to the Root was tempting, noted by less fortunate families as a possible option... one almost destined to be simply a thought experiment, until the new millennium. Factions within the Mage's Association stirred, funded by remnants of the Einzbern. For all the flaws of its outcome, the victor's wish had been granted; if one could source a replacement for the Greater Grail then another Grail ritual could be established.

The site chosen was Mifune, and the Association went to work seeking a suitable vessel not yet seized by the church; looking for a true facsimile to the Holy Grail. Still within the country, transporting pieces of the original Greater Grail to the site was no difficult task, unlike replacing its features... the original magical circuits forming the Greater Grail were something impossible to make in the modern era. But where quality was lacking, quantity was more than available: dozens, hundreds of lesser homunculi were created, each a single part of the replacement machine, fusing alchemy and kabbalah to fit each creation and its circuits to their exact purpose.

The stage was set, the mages' holy grail found and forged into a wish-granting core for the ritual, leaving behind a physical shell of itself to act as the lesser part. In two years, the final Master would be selected, the final Servant summoned, and the war would begin. Everything was going to plan, and soon the first intentional Holy Grail War would begin...

With one flaw.

Since the first Master was chosen, the lesser Grail has been missing.




2007, Mifune City. We have an even better bridge than Fuyuki.

  • Name: Queen Medb
  • Class: Rider
  • Appearance: "I am the Queen, and the Queen is I."
  • Personality: The lovely Queen of Connacht. Pure and yet perverse. Tidy and yet filthy. A young queen whose very existence is contradictory. But neither her purity nor her perversity is a lie. Both embody the true face of the Queen. A girl who believes she is the very center of the universe itself, who believes the world revolves around her position in it. She loves beautiful things, including beautiful people, especially those who are brave and strong. While her affections traditionally leaned towards men, both sexes are acceptable to her and she takes pride in her ability to seduce them. Those who fall for her charms are beloved, but those who reject them are even more beloved as Rider will relentlessly seek to make them her own. In spite of her own selfishness, Rider is an accomplished leader. She is extremely competent in warfare and in governing, delighting in the adoration of her people. Devious and intelligent, Rider is fond of both utilizing schemes and also simply crushing the enemy with brute force. Indeed, dominating those she views as strong is something that brings great excitement to the Queen of Connacht. Rider is guided by her desires, believing there is no reason to reject them. She is also incredibly stubborn, refusing to back down in battle and becoming quite frustrated if she's forced to. A Master who appeals to her will be slapped with her love, struck with it like an arrow. A Master who does not will be rejected and treated as nothing more then a prop, whom she will eagerly abandon for the sake of finding one more befitting for the Queen. In spite of her self-centered nature, Medb dislikes seeing those who do not live their life to its fullest, and will endeavor to encourage them otherwise.
  • Stats:
    • Strength: C
    • Endurance: E
    • Agility: B
    • Mana: C
    • Luck: EX
    • Noble Phantasm: A+
  • Class Skills:
    • Riding: A
    • Magic Resistance: B
  • Personal Skills:
    • Golden Rule(Body): A. Possessed of a natural goddess-like body from birth, Rider's very existence preserves her own beauty, allowing for the recovery of injuries and magical energy provided that it "facilitates the preservation of beauty".
    • Charisma: B. The capacity to influence and inspire others. As the Queen of Connacht, Rider's rank of Charisma is suited to one who successfully ruled and country and garnered the adoration of her subjects.
    • Alluring Nightingale: C. A fascination-type enchantment delivered by Rider's voice. While its influence is low, both sexes can be affected by it, and those with weak resilience to mental influence can be seduced by Rider's speech alone.
  • Noble Phantasm(s):
    • Name: Chariot My Love: My Dear Iron Chariot
    • Rank: B+
    • Type: Anti-Army
    • Appearance: "All power is my power! The authority of government! The steel of oppression! The terror of domination!"
    • Effects: A large, powerful, mighty Iron Chariot. It is pulled by Finnbennach and Donn Cúailnge, the legendary bulls that formed the center of the Táin Bó Cúailnge. Both a possession the the Queen of Connacht in life and the symbol of her Royal Authority that crushes her enemies and binds her subjects. The bulls are capable of flight, lifting the chariot from the ground with them, their powerful hooves and razor sharp horns serving to crush and dismember those who would dare oppose the Queen. But this is not the Chariot's full power. It's true nature is as Rider's perfect love nest, an inescapable space within the chariot capturing those she takes a fancy to so that she may press her desires, her lusts, upon them. While it is inescapable, it is not unavoidable, and when Rider is fully satisfied those captured within it are permitted to leave. While anyone trapped inside is confined until Rider is pleased, it has a notable boost in its effectiveness against men. In addition to summoning the entire chariot, she can also call upon and ride one of the two bulls.

    • Name: My Red Mead: My Dear Honey Alcohol
    • Rank: C
    • Type: Anti-Army
    • Appearance: "Fufufu~ I guess I'm adored anywhere I go."
    • Effects: Rider's legendary charm given form as a sweet red honey mead. Those she offers it to feel a strong urge to partake, and if the sweet alcohol passes their lips they become completely taken by the Queen of Connacht. Their mind is wholly fixated on Rider. Serving and loving their Queen is the only thoughts that can circulate in their mind. In this way, those who have drank Rider's mead become little more then extensions of her own will. The Queen becomes their whole world, their singular obsession above all else. However, a strong can possibly resist these compulsions.

    • Name: Conchobar My Love: My Dear Future Vision
    • Rank: C
    • Type: Anti-Unit
    • Appearance: N/A
    • Effects: Pilfered from her former husband Conchobar, Rider "borrows" his ability to see into the future. However, due to her hatred for him, it's more like theft. Comparable to an extremely high rank of Instinct in action, it allows her to see a few moments into the future. This permits her to analyze actions that have not yet occurred and plan around them. She can predict the unpredictable and avoid certain death through usage of this Noble Phantasm. However, it requires her to intentionally focus in order to peer into the future, meaning it is not impossible to take Rider by surprise if she does not believe she has a reason to be concerned. As she is quite arrogant, she rarely remembers to use this Noble Phantasm unless locked in a serious battle.

    • Name: Fergus My Love: My Dear Rainbow Sword
    • Rank: A+
    • Type: Anti-Army
    • Appearance: Modified to be sleeker and more elegant, as to her own personal tastes.
    • Effects: Rider calls upon the magical sword Caladbolg, the blade wielded by Fergus Mac Roich. Accessible due to his place among her many lovers, Rider can borrow this sword in order to use it unleash a devastating attack. As Caladbolg was said to be able to slice the tops from mountains, it is an incredibly destructive attack capable of tearing its way through armies and even the landscape itself. A single stream unleashes the rainbow, and everything before Rider is annihilated in a show of her authority.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil

There you have it, in a slightly experimental format:

OLIVIER DE VIENNE, KNIGHT OF THE OLIVE BRANCH
"I'm the Knight of the Olive Branch, Olivier, one of Charlemagne's Twelve Paladins. Was it you who summoned me?"
STR B+ | END A | AGI B | MAG B | LCK C | NP B+

RIDING: B
MAGIC RESISTANCE: B
DEFAULT:
One of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne, a group of heroes often compared to the Knights of the Round Table in both fame and feats.

Olivier was said to be Roland's foil: equal in every aspect but having an opposite personality. While Roland sailed in the winds of passion like a ship with no rudder, Olivier was firm and shine like a lighthouse of reason, always guiding others back to safety.

In other words, she is a dependable big sister who was the only sane person in the Holy Emperor's court.
1st:
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 164cm/52kg
SOURCE: Matter of France
REGION: Western Europe
ALIGNMENT: Lawful Good
GENDER: Female

"Why I don't take off my clothes like everyone else? Because I'm not a shameless exhibitionist like them, of course."
2nd:
A knight said to be the match to the mighty Roland in every regard. Ever since she was able to fight him to a draw in a duel to settle a long dispute between their lords, both of them became inseparable friends. They fought together and, even though Roland's stubbornness costed both of their lives, she never blamed him for anything.

"I knew it was going to end like that some day. It may be a sad story, but I don't think it was a waste."
3rd:
BATTLE CONTINUATION: B
Olivier has an iron determination, never giving up no matter what. Furthermore, even after being stabbed in the back with a spear, she was able to deliver a fatal blow to her killer before breathing her last.
CALM AND COLLECTED: B
"Dealing with Roland's temper and being the only person in Charlie's court who thought things through before acting was hard."
KNIGHT OF THE OLIVE BRANCH: EX
The olive tree is associated with wisdom ever since Antiquity. In addition, its branches are a traditional symbol of peace, traditionally offered to the other side to signify a truce request.

In practice, this skill works like the Proof of Friendship skill, but since Olivier can actually gift others with olive branches, it's effect is such that she can get even the most maddened Berserker, and even those who have the Mental Pollution skill, to sit down and talk at least for a moment.
4th:
HAUTECLAIRE, BRILLIANT BLADE OF THE FRAGRANT OLIVE BRANCH
RANK: E to A+
TYPE: Anti-Army
RANGE: 1 to 50
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TARGETS: 250 people

Olivier's sword which holds the power of sacred olive tree, venerated as a gift from the gods to mankind ever since Ancient Greece.

It can absorb sunlight and magical energy to grow in power much like a tree being nourished by the bountiful Earth Mother and the Sun's gifts. The stored power can be released in two ways: as a beam, or to cause olive trees to burst from the ground, potentially restraining others with their branches and roots, providing cover, etc.
5th:
She had many exasperating adventures both beside Roland and the other Paladins, as well as on her own. Between facilitating the reform of the giant warrior Fierabras, helping Roland recover his lost sanity, all the way up to their last battle in Roncevaux, it's safe to say that Olivier never had a dull day during the time she spent in Charlemagne's court.
EXTRA:
Born as Aude, Roland's betrothed who got forgotten in favor of the bewitching Angelica.

After hearing about Bradamante's adventures in search of her (constantly kidnapped) beloved Ruggiero and becoming infatuated with the gallantry of the other girl's actions, she begged her uncle to allow her to join the Holy Emperor's court. He accepted her request under the condition that would have to prove her worth by defeating Charlemagne's chosen champion in a duel.

After renaming herself Olivier, she claimed the mantle of Knight of the Olive Branch, fought Roland to a standstill and, eventually got everything she could ever wish for. Pursuing the love of a dense man was hard, but Olivier never regretted doing it. Even though Roland never seemed to notice her efforts, her days were plentiful just by being beside him and the others.

"It certainly vexed me. How could anyone be so dense? Perhaps, was it because he was so oblivious that I couldn't help but want to be by his side? Or maybe, was it I who was too coward to say what I really felt like?"

Name: Alexa Dover Jupiteria
Age: 23
Personality: A rather nice person for a magus. She has a good sense of humor and a hard working, studious personality. In other words, she's a pretty run-off-the-mill person who just happens to do magic for a living.
Abilities: Her main talent lies in a refined general knowledge of magecraft fundamentals, particularly, traditional alchemy and astromancy, along with related fields like numerology and geometry. She's very well knowledgeable in transmuting and reinforcing basic elements like stone and metals, and creating bounded fields. However, as expected of someone who's focused on the fundamentals, she isn't capable of matching the power of a magus who's deep into their own family research, or a dedicated practitioner of any foundation.
History: She was born in a traditional family, or rather an coalition, of mages that is only tangentially connected to the Association. They practice classic alchemy, but don't deal with things like Magical Crests. Their thought process is that depending on Crests (and a heavy dose of inbreeding to keep their blood "pure") is why the Clock Tower mages lose their power at a rate that far exceeds that of places like Atlas and traditional practitioners who pass on their knowledge to the next generations through actual study and tutoring.

Her last name is actually given from the ruling planet under whose influence she was born.

Since the faculties that they have the best relations with are Animusphere and Norwich, they usually send a few promising youths to study at those factions of the Clock Tower. She specifically spent a lot of time in the Astromancy department, making extensive uses of their equipment. Whenever she wasn't doing that she could be found in Modern Magecraft Theories, attending lessons.

  • Name: Nakano Hisa
  • Age: 17
  • Appearance: "There's no question. The best magus will win, and than magus is me." A petite girl who could be mistaken for a child.
  • Personality: As the child of a branch family of nobility in the Clock Tower, one supported by the main branch due to their impressive capabilities in magecraft, it is perhaps no surprise that Nakano Hisa possesses something of an ego. Indeed, Hisa has a habit of talking down to others, her utter certainty in her own superiority dripping for her words. Smug to a fault, Hisa firmly believes it is her role to uphold her family's legacy and continue their craft, something she believes she is more than capable of. While her arrogant and egotistical nature cannot be overstated, as well as the habit she has of mocking and teasing others, Hisa is not without other facets to her personality. In spite of her egotistical nature, as a magus she is highly considerate of the wellbeing of those uninvolved with the supernatural. She does not fully close her heart, as other magi frequently do. It isn't merely because of the necessity of keeping magecraft secret, but rather due to the fact that it is simply the right thing to do as far as she is concerned. Yes, Hisa's ego cannot be overstated, but at the same time she has consideration towards that which is right and just. Perhaps in her mind there is no actual reason why she must abandon her morality simply to be successful as a mage. However, her confidence is perhaps also one of her flaws, as she has a tendency to assume that she will outmatch nearly any opponent she comes across, at least insofar as humans go. Not even her ego would let her believe she could fight a Servant head-on.
  • Abilities: Hisa possesses a high number of high-quality magic circuits, making her an excellent mage in terms of both the quality of her magecraft and the amount of it she is capable of performing. Indeed, she can be considered something of a prodigy, a shining beacon of the Nakano family's artifice. In terms of her magecraft, Hisa's affinity is Air. Not only does this make her best at spells utilizing air and wind specifically, but it also increases her capability relating to spells that relate to flow and motion. Spells that accelerate reaction times or cause objects to move faster or slower, as well as spells that directly manipulate the air to create blades of wind or remove it from a location, all fall under her area of expertise.
  • History: Hisa is the heir to the Nakano family, a branch of a the prestigous Velverie family of the Clock Tower through her grandfather. Initially dismissed by their main family, the magecraft prowess exhibited by the Nakano bloodline swiftly drew their attention and support. On this matter, Hisa is no exception. A prodigy even by the high standards of the Nakano family, her childhood was one spent preparing her for such a position. It was when the Holy Grail War first became general knowledge that the Velvarie family pressed the Nakano family to participate, and they put forth Hisa as the one to enter the Holy Grail War. The Velvarie even provided her with a shard of the Round Table to use a catalyst...
  • Other: N/A


I don't usually post WiPs but I stalled out partway through her abilities section trying to think of something so I guess I'll leave it there for the moment. ^^;

Okay, I think every finished bio is accepted.

Though, CL

Her family made a deal to marry her and her great circuits off, at least in exchange for a financial loan to keep them afloat. Safe to say, since then that loan has been called in sooner than expected, and as a result chained this smaller family to the Sorensen Family’s oversight and control.


Please rewrite that. Who married who off for what loan that got called in by who and what family is pulled in to be involved in this how? <_>
