[/color][/cell] [cell] [h3][color=D6D6D6]Abilities[/color][/h3][color=black][sup]__________________________________________________________[/sup][/color] [hider=General Magecraft]The basics. While not with his “partner” long, the inheritance that is being engraved into him includes the basics as is expected. The means of actualizing general magecraft, processing mana or od into magical energy and injecting it into a formula within a foundation, or manipulating magical energy comes as a matter of course. However it could be said that handling magic energy is his talent, both from inexperience and from the nature of the “partner” that has dug into him and engraves this inherited knowledge. [/hider] [hider=Personal Magecraft]Absorption: Not a magecraft itself but rather an attribute applied to Matou Shinji. The ability of the Matou family and the trait that is inherited. Something that applies to everything Shinji does. All things return to the user, and the user takes in all. Taking in energy, information. The basis of how their crest works, and perhaps part of what shapes their nature of obsession. With it the utilization of curses can only be called suicide as the nature of cursing one’s self is amplfiied and returns to the self. Such an act can only be called a build up akin to self-destruction. Inherited Knowledge: The current ability of Matou Shinji to function as a magus befitting the legacy of the Matou is low. Knowledge is still piecemeal and still being contextualized. Yet progression is still fast and eventually he’ll be able to access more and more. As is his knowledge on familiars, and their utilization is above average due to the focus of the Matou speciality, along with the taking in of things at the current stage.[/hider] [hider=Non-Magical Talents]Fencing: The ability for the sport, and swordsmanship in general. While not a freak of nature who would step into the realms of the superhuman by physical discipline alone without further guidance. Hard work and talent have led to an adept ability of footwork, hand-eye coordination, reflexes and a instinct for exposing and tearing down one’s weaknesses. Such a thing seems a bit innate, as one with flaws who lashes out at the ones exhibited in others. To break one down seems his talent. His overbearing, pressuring and unrelenting work has earned him the title of the Tide Flash of Homurahara. Naturally this comes with a good amount of fitness, although he certainly is more on the lithe and speedy side rather than brawny. All in all his body is something he is capable of utilizing and this cultivation in turn has better prepared him for playing host. Academics and Occultic knowledge: The knowledge of learning as a normal man could with texts, reading and interest. His grades are among the top of the highschool and his proddings into the mystical have been varied and mixed. Certainly there’s a bit of something known that’s relevant… surely.[/hider] [/cell][/row][/table] [center][color=D6D6D6][h2][b]Personality[/b][/h2][/color][color=black][sup]__________________________________________________________[/sup][/color][/center] A busybody, and a rather overbearing and selfish man. He holds a sense of morality and justice, along with being someone who cares for the rules. But he excuses his own transgressions and breaking of them as of course, he understands them so at the core he’s a law abiding citizen. No one is a criminal for jay walking, or skipping out on a unpleasant meal at a restaurant or messing with others at times right? As long as one understood the rules and didn’t do anything too bad they were still a good person. Really, a troublesome sort. His own genius, looks and the money inherited has given him plenty of bargaining power, and his way with other people is akin to that of a centering queen bee. However, his ability to form a true connection with others has at times lacked. Never coming across a certain busybody, he finds himself aimless, struggling with life alone even as he easily talks with others and directs them. He could be said to not have a dream. To want to excel, to have hobbies. That can be said to be a substitute, or even a symptom that plagues one that has the problem of no dream to satisfy them, no ideal to hold themselves to. Without something for the world to truly offer him and set his heart ablaze he can only withdraw into himself, praise himself, place his hopes and interest onto himself. A egoist who wishes for something more. Entrapping himself, to break out of his own mold would tear away his foundations. But would what is cruelly exposed shine, or rot away? [center][color=D6D6D6][h2][b]Background[/b][/h2][/color][color=black][sup]__________________________________________________________[/sup][/color][/center]The Matou family, the changed psuedonym taken by the Russian magus Makiri Zolgen who switched his names in the eastern style and took cover in the land prepared for the ritual known as the Holy Grail War. The story of his pursuit of utopia, salvation and the sacrifice of love for the sake of humanity, justice and the world is not the one being told today. The rise and the fall of the Matous, it’s new rebirth. All such things hardly are part of Matou Shinji’s life. A scion who leads the top of Homurahara Academy’s academic records in excellence as a student, the captain of its established Fencing Club that he has brought to national attention. Without a weight that ties him down and denied expectations he has blossomed quite well into an accomplished and noted, if troublesome young man. However just as he has not been shown empty promise or the loss of a glory or a denied position, there has been little “expected” of him since birth. Surrounded by normal faces, given no pushing direction he can only pursue the normal expectations set upon him and the impetus from society itself. To show himself as the best is his enjoyment and yet there’s something that lacks in his heart. In a way it’s an incredibly mundane and common dilemma that plagues the youth. His friends are few even as his fans and acquaintances are many. He dabbles into much and excels at most, but truly masters or enjoys many things. Colorless, with sparks of dulled dyes. The sort of world that makes one pull more and more into himself. Never quite matching with his sister, or his uncle with hands off and distant relations to his own parents. His own interests eventually took him into studying the occult, and at times he even secretly practiced the meaningless and meaningful, studying the western thoughts and cultures of the past to learn and imitate. Derision at himself and yet pleasure in learning came hand in hand as the meaningless actions piled up slowly building up a karma where nothing should have happened. As a result on the day of destiny and fate he came across something that he should have not. A slip from the basement that was the seat of power of the old ghost of the Matou long gone came as he prepared his secret hobby. A thing that should not exist. A phantom of the past. A mystery uncovered. The true inheritance, and legacy of his blood. A intruder, a poison that had managed to languish and survive. It could not devour a human, nor did it seek to. In a sense it was a matter of completion of its role. What was foreign became part. Myriad created circles reacted to a potential and unneeded yet vital part of him. The connection and channel opened. A bruise became a symbol of dominion. Welcome, master, to the Holy Grail war.
