[hider=Einzbern Master] [hider Zues][color=RosyBrown][h3][b][i]“Zeus did not want man to throw his life away, no matter how much the other evils might torment him, but rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew. To that end, he gives man hope. In truth, it is the most evil of evils because it prolongs man's torment.”[/i][/b][/h3][/color][/hider] [hider=Appearance][img]https://i.ibb.co/nkVpP3J/Gothic-Lolita.png[/img][/hider] Name: Emiliasviel "Emma" Einzbern Title(s): E.E., Magus Killer (Has never actually killed a Magus) Gender: Female Age: ?? years old, appearance of a young girl Alignment: Chaotic Evil Rank: Pride Objective for the Grail: To actualize Heaven’s Feel. Personality: Unsightly. Once a pure Winter Saint and perfect doll, she has become tainted utterly. A true and honest genocider. A False Idol(Siren) who murders those they set eyes on. A rampant AI. Blank canvas’ are the most susceptible to such things, one must suppose. E.E. holds a fixation for firearms, corpses, lightning box culture(as Acht calls her computer ‘habits’), and cheap processed foods. She has a complete and utter obsession for some weird mountain tribes fixation on improperly proportioned fictional characters. Old man Act indulges her weird and disturbing whims so long as she proved a suitable scion, which she certainly more than has. It doesn’t disturb him any less, though, and it has been years since he has entered her room. She is a prolific singer with genuine talent, but her lyrics tend to be abysmal and hurt her singing quality. She has mastered cooking exclusively to please her Rider before he was even summoned, but unfortunately she tends to make extremely weird recipes if given the room. An excellent cook, she tries to see herself as a dark and brooding otome game protagonist. Of course, that very Rider is her Dark Prince, but she is very interested to see what other capture characters pop up in the war. In truth she is just a broken little girl, completely alone in this world. To her Rider is the only true hope that exists. He is death given form, after all; she loves him for it. Biography: The story of the Factory is a known one, and it does not particularly require expansion here. In a world without the Holy Grail War, they have slowly become more open and sociable. Though still having an aloof and nearly isolated stance, they have begun to form legitimate connections with both the Clocktower and various Magus families. Rather than attempting to recreate the Greater Grail, it seems they have instead been preparing for this Grail War for the last two hundred years. Legitimate connections to the Moonlit World have been useful for that end in particular. Perhaps a few words could be spared for their current hope and scion, Emma. Her particular design was created chiefly with the philosophy of ‘Adaptability’. The Einzbern were weak at combat, and that fact has plagued the Factories mind for centuries. The answer was to create a being that could properly react and adapt to the stresses of combat, while also retaining overwhelming magical ability. Thus, Emma was created to fill this need. There were other esoteric concerns that led to such a decision, but those are certainly secret. What truly matters is that after countless failures and experimentation, Emma was coined. The rest of her life was a blur, and one structured with the intent of making her ‘grow’ beyond her initial form. It was an utterly radical move on the part of the Einzbern, but it was one they prayed for victory with. She trained, she learned, studied under the eastern ‘Magus Killer’, and even travelled beyond her wintery estate and into the Clocktower. Their time in the exterior world, certainly changed them. Though at that time they took on the appearance of a Winter-Saint, a perfect doll, something inside them was changing. ‘Something’ germinated inside the spot where a Heart was meant to be in a true human. After some time, they returned to their home. There, they witnessed certain horrors; the corpses of herself which had no value. The truth of the Factory, which is built on nothing but false hope and dreams. The endless purgatory that was the never-ceasing one thousand year old wish. As homunculi sometimes do when confronted with their own status as ‘created tool’, she rebelled against her creators. Her existence itself had been fundamentally nullified, so she felt. Emma wished to plant scissors into the heart of her slumbering creator, whatever foolish human that decided to tread upon life itself. Unfortunately, there aren’t any humans in the Factory, and so she had no outlet to kill. A maddening passion became poison, a toxic that infected her developing heart from its very starting moments. Emma had finally become an adaptable being truly approximating humans, but in a stroke of irony she was rendered to being a broken little girl not long after. She took on the regalia of the children of man, gaining increasingly outlandish interests by the time of this Grail Wars start. This disturbed Jubstacheit, even as her performance as a combatant and Magus proved first-rate. A certain gulf developed between them, a lack of understanding fueled by different status and generations. This came to a head when Emma used her own catalyst instead of the ‘ultimate one’ prepared by Acht. Unfortunately for him, he was kicked out of the Einzbern Castle shortly after the summoning. She left some parting words for the Magus Killer who was as a father to her, and left the Einzbern Manor without bothering to look back. [b][i]"I'm sorry, Master. It looks like you'll be the one I’m killing last after all. [color=red]Be seeing you soon~[/color]"[/i][/b] --- Magic Circuit Switch: The sound of stabbing someone else in the heart. Number of Magic Circuits: C Quality of Magic Circuits: EX --- Elemental Affinity: Earth & Wind [hider=Magecraft] General Magecraft(Holy Grail War): The honor badge of a first-rate Magus, the basics of manipulating magical energy. In her case, she has honed it beyond normal in areas better suited to the Holy Grail War. Supporting your servant properly is very important. Emma’s magecraft incorporates the usual Einzbern Attribute where appropriate. Einzbern Alchemy: Study of the flow of matter. It goes without saying that the Factory are experts at their craft, exhibiting mastery in all Alchemy but especially in homunculus creation. Emma acts as the pre-designed vessel for their magecraft, a function given to her before she was even born. Includes all thaumaturgy necessary for the execution of their chief craft. High-Speed Incantation(Noise): A form of chant acceleration based around ‘wailing’, used to accelerate the activation of magical incantations. In E.E.’s case, she makes use of it through both singing and the blaring sound of weaponry. At her level of expertise, casting at half-speed is possible. Wail of the Golden Rock: A magecraft founded upon the flow of music(sound), purely created by Emma. It is based on the concept of the rhinemaiden(siren) who blesses(guides to safety) or curses(guides to doom) sailors passing the Loreley. It is fundamentally founded upon ‘what already existed’ within the Factory, which is what allowed even a top-rate such as Emma to create it so quickly. She ended up using her own existence rather than an absent magic crest to help stabilize it. Fundamentally governs the flow and transformation of sound(music). Includes sonic attacks(manipulation), support abilities(for both herself and Servant), mental attacks, the usual for musical and sound based thaumaturgy. She is talented enough to always be able to select the targets of this ability. Though surprisingly compatible with the Einzbern, this was invented with the Holy Grail War in mind.[/hider] Magic Crest: Unnecessary; they have inherited the sum memory and knowledge of the Einzbern from their 'birth'. [hider=Equipment] [hider=Weaponry] (Base materials enhanced through Alchemical processing. Logistics materials are included. Names also included!) AK-74 ‘[i][b]Skullreaver[/b][/i]’ Assault Rifle & Unknown? ‘[b][i]Goreseeker[/i][/b]’ Chainsaw Bayonet Benelli M3 ‘[b][i]Schattenwölfe[/i][/b]’ Shotgun .45-70 ‘[b][i]Ebony[/i][/b] & [b][i]Ivory[/i][/b]’ Spring-loaded wrist Derringers Knives([i]She has too many to properly name each and every one[/i]) [S]Grenades[/s]([i]The head maid scolded her and took them away[/i]) [S]Gun-Scythe[/s] ([i]Originally a scythe with a machine gun inside it, but its completely useless as a weapon for extremely obvious reasons. She still uses it to threaten people, though.[/i]) [/hider] [hider=Mundane] Reinforced clothing: Clothing properly reinforced to stop gunfire, in the same vein of those used by the Holy Church. Modeled after a certain mountain tribe sub culture focused on little girls in black clothing. Metal rods: Rods of various materials and shapes. Useful for on-hand Alchemy. Box of dead foxes: It's clear what this is for. Mobile Laboratory Equipment: Mobile laboratory for when the materials and facilities of the Einzbern Castle are hours away. Suitcase sized. Jubstacheit von Einzbern’s Credit Card: He didn’t even know what a credit card was until she asked for one. He still doesn’t know. Purse: Full of fake ID's and mountain tribe currency. Mundane Teddy Bear: An adorable Teddy she carries around. A gift from a certain someone she loves very much. Flip phone: Obvious. [/hider] [hider=Mystic Codes] [b]Gu-pot Brand Bug Spray[/b] A special oriental aerosol can that also curses the bugs it hits. Specially designed for killing bugs with the best oriental bug killing curses. A dubious item from a dubious vendor. [b]Magic Soap Box[/b] A magic soap box. Simply by inserting magical energy, it demonstrats a variety of minor magical effects that are useless in combat. These minor abilities range from cleaning or soiling things, changing color, minor lighting effects, changing taste of food, heating or cooling things, etc. Beyond presentation and some minor convenience, pretty much useless. [b]Anti Curse Amulet[/b] An amulet that detects if you are a target for a curse. It also protects the user against curses much like a magical resistance amulet. It is duct taped to its sister, a Magic Resistance Amulet. [b]Magic Resistance Amulet[/b] ([i]D[/i]) An amulet that protects against Magecraft by repelling magical energy at the level of D rank. It is duct taped to its sister, an Anti Curse Amulet. [b]Boots of Speed[/b] Increases the users acrobatics skill and movement speed greatly, stacking with self reinforcement. An effective yet fairly stock tool like Azoth daggers, it is based on certain German fairy tale. E.E.’s particular version don’t actually take the form of shoes, rather, they take the form of durable knee socks. In particular, they are very effective at navigating difficult terrain. [b]Lense of Seeing[/b] Allows one to also ‘see’ 360 degrees around themselves while also expanding the users perception. The ultimate combat mystic code, yet also a mass produced stock item. If Emma was a normal human, she’d give herself a headache, but because she is a homunculus it’s fine. Because of the Einzbern family art, she tinkered with it a bit to enhance its core strengths. [/hider] [/hider] Exceptional Benefit: Einzbern [/hider] [hider=Caster] [hider=Queen of Alexandria] [img]https://i.ibb.co/ZJp44tQ/Big-Brain.jpg[/img] [/hider] Name: Saint Catherine (Hypatia) Title: Last of the Hellenes, Star of Wise Teaching, Holy Philosopher Class: Caster Gender: Female Alignment: Neutral Good Attribute: Man Personality: A woman who always walks her own path, yet has a certain distance from normal humans. She is proactive in the sense of being kind while also pursuing her beloved knowledge. Despite being massively intelligent, her exterior personality can have something like a cute streak. Her existence is like that of a artificial lifeform, so that must be kept in mind when interacting with her. Casters personality is balanced almost in two halves, and she does not show the darker and more taciturn side unless she is speaking as the 'Brain of Alexandria'. History: The Queen of Egypt and Cyprus who was scourged by the Emperor of Rome for exposing christian beliefs. Born in the purple, she was a Princess of Rome supposedly descended from Constantius. She found salvation through Jesus Christ deep within the Egyptian desert, where she married him at a location that had been transformed into 'Heaven'. She was a great philosopher(scientist), trained by her Father, a genius philosopher-alchemist. He instituted a special training program to supposedly increase her intelligence and physical abilites, in pursuit of creating the 'perfect human'. However the truth of the matter is, she was something 'created'- a being whose blood was white and marrow was oil. The truth of the matter certainly lays within the depths of the Giant's Pit- [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia[/url] [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Alexandria[/url] Weapon: Magecraft of interest: Astrology(Astronomy), Numerology/Kabbalah(Mathematics), Witchcraft Parameters: STR:E CON: E AGI: C MGI: B LCK: A+ Class Skills: Territory Creation: EX Normally, the ability to create a territory advantageous to oneself as a Magus. Instead of creating an exterior territory, Caster manifests an interior one. It acts as an information tapestry not unlike that of the so called ‘Memory Palace’ of a certain Jesuit Priest. Functioning as a proof of existence, it is an eternal and ever expanding information lattice built within her brain(mind) itself. It is a spiritual space with an atmosphere not unlike that of a mental reality marble- a ‘Brain’ worthy of Alexandria, center of the worlds knowledge. Operating off the principles of egyptian metallurgy, it surpasses even the theoretical quantum computers expected within the next several decades. On the basis of this ability alone, all knowledge checks receive massive bonuses. Item Construction (False): A Normally, the ability to create weapons or tools having magic power. Usually it is employed for its main use in creation of Mystic Codes. However in Casters case, its purpose is fundamentally different. Catherine(Hypatia) employs it for the purpose of production of knowledge(ideas) rather than items. That is to say, the creation, understanding, and alteration of formless phenomenon. This is the capacity of a ‘Philosopher’(‘Scientist’) to create. Like Territory Creation, it is also an ability steeped within the logic of egyptian metallurgy and alchemy. The core lies in production of ‘events’ using the entirety of one's existence. Because of her unique circumstances(existence), Caster has achieved the apex of that paradigm. Personal Skills: Crystallized Wisdom: A Magic Tool that was granted to Caster while wandering the deserts of Egypt. It is the most valuable gift from God that is wisdom(power) itself, crystallized as a marital ring given by Jesus Christ during their wedding. It is directly connected to her and she usually wears it on the appropriate finger. Even if somebody else wears it, a severe headache will occur due to the enormous amount of information. High-Speed Incantation: A The ability to speak magical incantations at an accelerated speed. Permits rapid incantations that allow for High-Thaumaturgy even at the speed of a single action. The superhuman calculation and rhetorical abilities of Caster leave a level of efficiency that is to be expected. Technique Elucidation: A Skills to interpret and restore more or less anything that can be called a formula. Not just able to repair magecraft, but also damaged circuits and even crests. An esoterica among esoterica even in this era where magecraft still struggles along. That being said, it isn’t useful for combat. Noble Phantasm(s): Name: Temple of Ink Title: Transcend Past Genius Rank: EX Classification: Barrier Range: 1~20 Maximum Number of Targets: - Description: Catherine was the embodiment of Alexandria itself, its last ‘true’ philosopher. Within that city of understanding lay the hub of the ancient world’s knowledge, the Temple of Muses(Library of Alexandria). Hero, Erastosthenes, Eculid, Archimedes- all studied within the confines of the Musaeum. It is by the Libraries sheer quantity and quality of information that Alexandria surpassed Athens as a place of knowledge and advancement. In this incarnation, the Library does not take a physical form. Even so, it is eternally recording, eternally calculating, eternally evolving. It operates as the ‘ultimate tool’, which allows the user to access and use all of its knowledge to accomplish their desires. Thus it acts as a collection of mankind's knowledge; a basis to produce the ‘tools of hope’ which advance human civilization. The recorded information of the past and present- ranging from math, all the way to texts on magecraft. . . all such information can be counted on at the whim of this Noble Phantasms user. The Library carries a similar atmosphere as the storage device laying at the bottom of the Titan’s Pit. Certainly it is true to say Caster is the ‘brain’ of Alexandria given a physical vessel, so it also vastly boosts Casters processing power. While it was a place for storing knowledge, the Musaeum was also critically important as a place to both produce and parse information. All knowledge exists within the singular point of knowledge that is the Musaeum. When it is properly deployed through a true name release, its actual worth is shown as a so-called ‘absolute’ observation device. It ‘observes’ all that is within its range, allowing for even the replication of ‘observed’ events. This is its true form as a wisdom storing device that gives worth to all it sees. Name: Wheel Without Title: Agony Known Not ([color=Red][b]Nihil Hic Est[/b][/color]) Rank: C Classification: Anti-Information Range: - Maximum Number of Targets: 1 person Description: The Catherine Wheel is one of the Saintly Attributes of Caster. Originally reviled as a weapon for torture, it has lost those attributes in Casters hands. Instead it has become a crystallization of knowledge taken physical form. In both form and function, it acts like a personal digital assistant not replicable in the current time. The 'wheel' functions as a 'hacking device'(conceptual weapon) that allows its user to interface with and overcome 'formulae' and 'programs' of practically any kind- a tool for hijacking knowledge(information). Within the context of a Holy Grail on the moon, it would be considered a cheat item. It can be called something like the end point of the artificial nervous system developed by the Eltnam family. With its true name released, it enacts 'absolute knowledge(information) destruction' on the target. It is pseudo replication of the event wherein Caster destroyed the wheels and transformed them from symbols of torture to knowledge. [/hider]
