Servant Profile __________________________________________________________True-Name: Telamonius Ajax Aliases: Ajax the Greater Gender:Female Attribute:Earth Era:Age of Gods Alignment:Lawful Neutral Qualified Classes:Lancer Character Objectives:To win back what is rightfully hers. | Regend __________________________________________________________Type: Myth Source: Greek Myth Region: Greece Weapon: An immense lance, and a bronze shield wrapped in oxhide. Appearance: Taller than most people at just over 2m, with the immense weight to match, she stands like a statue over most people, though unlike the rough chiselled appearance of another large berserker, hers was more akin to the Venus de Milo, if it looked rougher, had well toned muscles and pecs, wielded enormous weapons and had arms. Bronze armaments adorned her body, with only the usual cloth wrapped about her lower half. |
Stats __________________________________________________________Endurance:A+ Strength:A Agility:B Mana:C+ Luck:D NP:A+ | Abilities __________________________________________________________Magic Resistance:B Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected. Divinity:B A measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not.With her lineage traceable to Zeus and Poseidon, it was natural that she would receive this skill. Projectile(Spear): A+ When throwing anything she can grab, she can throw it with the equivalent of an artillery, in contrast to a certain assassin’s only being comparable to firearm. She is competent enough with this skill to make ridiculous trickshots with it. Only when throwing anything she can recognize as a spear however, the modifier on the skill comes into play. Any Greek who had seen her in action (or the Trojans she fought against for that matter) would recognize her as the one who would rip up anything she could feasibly grab and start throwing. Eye of the mind(False): B Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning. Honed with experience in the Trojan war, she is capable of analysing a situation and acting accordingly to escape defeat. Blessings of Heracles: - The possession of Divine Spirit Heracles' blessing. A special body gifted as a birth present which has given them a body beyond human limitations. They have a strength equaling even the greatest Greek Hero, and a constitution to match. A burden of the body which has reached the level of even possessing the divine pulse of Heracles, which was passed along to Ajax- the divine Od of the Gods, which they can unleash to increase their power. A body that would never recieve a wound, that would never become sick. Even when matched against Achilles body which could not be harmed by mortals, Ajax's constitution has reached another level. What are they? List them here and add/subtract if needed Subtitle:The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens Type:Barrier Rank:A+ Range:0-10 Maximum number of targets:1 person Description: When not in use, it manifests as her bronze shield, still possessing part of its immense defensive power. When invoked, it possesses a much higher defensive potential than a certain red archer could ever project, with much less energy expenditure. If his had layers akin to fortress walls, then Ajax’s was an entire citadel in each layer. A defensive Noble Phantasm often compared with Achilles’ own shield. Able to be projected from a distance or even grasped and wielded once activated if Ajax had the mind to do so. Subtitle: The Blessed Bulwark Type: Anti-Unit(Passive) Rank:A+ Range:0 Maximum number of targets:1 person Description: Ajax was one of the few who haven’t been touched at all during the Trojan War, and indeed, has lost to no one, and had barely any wounds inflicted upon her. Indeed the one who defeated and injured her was no one but herself, an amazing feat considering the war had gods interfering with it. Borne of Heracles’ blessing upon Telamon, when the latter prayed for a strong warrior as his child, to which Zeus sent an eagle. Aias, would be her name, or more commonly Ajax, to mean eagle. It allows her to utilize the blessing of Heracles to channel his divine aspect, strengths, and achievements, manifesting it as a physical phenomena performed through her own body, a technique an eastern fox would surely recognize, even if it wasn’t strictly the same as hers. With her connection to Hercules, divine Od from his blessing, and her connection to Zeus, this comes almost as easily as breathing. |
Personality
__________________________________________________________Proud, brash, and boisterous, the one who would wade without a second thought through an entire army to save her comrades. A rather loud personality to go with her immense stature. An unbelievable contrast to anyone who had only ever seen her in battle, for she was far more stoic and reserved in action.
Background
__________________________________________________________A warrior who fought in the Trojan war, to gain recognition for herself. Always in competition with Achilles who she can only never really match in foot racing, she fought with the ferocity of a lion, toppling over even those with divine help on their side. Her end came not from an enemy spear however, but from her own grief. She was the mightiest of them all after Achilles fell, but she was no master of speech. His armor went to Odysseus instead, who was a better orator. Believing it should rightfully had been awarded to her, feeling as if her achievements weren’t recognized and appreciated, she turned to drinking and slew a group of sheep in her stupor. Shamed by what she had done, even if it was a drunken fit, she took out the gifted sword from Hector, and slew herself.
Miscellaneous
__________________________________________________________Do not mention Odysseus anywhere near her.
Magus Profile __________________________________________________________Full-Name: Xu Lin Aliases:Lin Gender:Female Age:23 Crest:- Family:Xu Family Species:Human Specialties:Feng Shui/Martial art. Character Objectives:Furthering her family’s arts. | Regend __________________________________________________________Country: China Nationality: Chinese Affiliations: None Rank: - Alignment: True Neutral If hit once, strike back twice. If honored once, honor back twice. Nothing without profit, profit with nothing. The tool not used, is wasted. The tool used in waste, is not used. |
Stats __________________________________________________________Magic Circuit Switch:Toll of a gong Number of Magic Circuits:D Quality of Magic Circuits:C Mana:A+ Elemental Affinity:Yin Yang Origin:Earth | Abilities __________________________________________________________Normal Geomancy to achieve what most Clock tower magus should know. Magecraft and martial arts was tightly intertwined in her family, an old family that has undergone many name changes yet survived through history. Martial arts in China was, after all, very much connected to the supernatural, as they took in everything from the concept of Feng Shui, Chinese Alchemy, and even Geomancy to reach that perfect peak, drawing in Qi and Mana from Gaia itself to power their own bodies. No method was too unusual or outlandish for them if it works, seen by their usage of a melting furnace gifted from the first emperor himself. Those who would be head meditate within it for days, and only those who survive will be strengthened, tempered to become much more, achieving a quality of Qi beyond normal humans. Those who do not, becomes purified to become fuel for those who succeed. She too had survived this ordeal, though it was less than a desire to become head and more out of curiosity then panic as she realized it was not something she can hop in and out to 'see how it feels like'. Circulating yin and yang within her body, she survived the 49 days required to exit it, and escaped with a stronger body, and tattered clothing, all the more to survive the relieved but angry mother that awaited her outside. A success made through her own circuits, bearing the attribute of 'refining', a burden of the body gifted through her family's long long dedication to their martial arts. A red gem to symbolize the south, black obsidian the north, and so on, with the fundamentals of I Ching and the concept of Yin and Yang. A blocked flow can be forced, those that flow can be stopped, an imbalance made to balance, balance to imbalance. With enough practice, they become a living conduit, channeling and outputting far more than any normal magus could, flowing and gathering, before flowing and expelling with speed and precision. An example would be a method to pass through a barrier of any kind with a hoop, utilizing the seed of yin inside the yang, or the seed of yang inside the yin and magnifying them. A three section staff, holding a core from a phoenix feather. She uses it in cooking usually, before this war starts. Passes qi and mana through it easily, as well as being able to apply fire to qi and mana passed through it, generating and manipulating fire with ease, even to the greatest of conflagration. Since she uses it a lot, and with her training, her control over the weapon is great. For a family that focuses solely on furthering their martial arts, it was inevitable that they would gather elements from other martial arts to further their own. Even for someone that was not as skilled as her brother, who would be the next head, she was undoubtedly among the masters with her prodigal skills. Those who saw her would undoubtedly recognize the mishmash of styles, all incorporating into the single philosophy of balance and flow, adapting against their opponents to ruin their tempo. |
Personality
__________________________________________________________A respectful, energetic girl, she was the epitome of the word cheerful. While a person many would describe as kind and helpful, she was also quick to mete out punishment and retribution, as she would her kindness and help. Trying to faithfully adhere to the code of conduct her family had placed upon her, she carefully wends her way through life applying their teachings. Both the closed fist, and the open palm received would be returned twice. While she wasn’t any definition of the world trustworthy, she was very much fair in her judgement.
Background
__________________________________________________________An ancient family, they could trace their lines all the way back to the first Emperor and even further back if their records was true. They have been teaching martial arts through their school since then to the present, though their form had never really gotten popular.
Even in the present time, their school had only about 20 or so students, partly due to the very rigorous trainings, and techniques that was as much ritual as it was martial arts. Lin, like the rest of her siblings, had to balance their martial arts, learning in school and jobs at their family restaurant. While she was very proficient in their martial arts, and have the cultivated body of her family, her eldest brother was the strongest, and the most able of them all when it came to their arts.
Her forte was more in the culinary arts, though when she chanced upon the Fuyuki ritual, and gaining her Command Seals, she joined it without hesitation. To leave without even trying would just leave her with a bad taste in her mouth after all.

"I'm gonna fucking rip your head off and feed it to the crocodiles you prissy bitch!"
True Name: Sobekneferu
Class: Caster
Gender: "What kind of dumb shit question are you asking the Pharaoh! Do you want me to feed you to the crocodiles you idiotic fucking-!"
Attribute: Heaven
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
History: Little is known about Caster's life, not much knowledge about her reign survived the horrific passage of time unfortunately, but what is known is as follows. She was born as Sobekneferu under Amenemhat III, a woman who dedicated her life to Sobek and serving as the Chief Priestess of the Cult of Sobek. When her brother, Amenemhat IV, had no male heirs when he died, Caster took his place as Pharaoh, expanding the labyrinthine Crocodilopolis and becoming the first female Pharaoh in history. She ruled for only 3 years, however those 3 years were some of the most prosperous of the Twelfth Dynasty, the end of the Golden Age of Egypt. She died with no heirs, ending the Twelfth Dynasty and the Golden Age with it.
Personality: As the Pharaoh, Caster was expected to act with a certain poise and dignity when handling her duties. However-
"Alright shut the fuck up you shitty fucking cup! Like hell am I gonna let some stupid piece of tableware tell everyone how I'm supposed to be, I'm the fucking Pharaoh! Not only that, but I'm the daughter of fucking Sobek himself, so yeah, I gotta be pretty fucking crass! If I was some prissy fucking bitch, imagine how that would look on Sobek! He would get laughed out of the fucking pantheon! I don't take any shit, I trample over the enemies of the kingdom, and I feed heretics to the fucking crocs! If you've got a problem with that, you can shove it up your ass, dumbass fucking goblet bitch!"
Well. She's outspoken to say the least.
"Fuck you!"
Strength: D
Agility: D
Endurance: C
Mana: A
Luck: B
Class Skills:
Territory Creation: A+
As the ruler of all of Egypt and the chief priestess of the Cult of Sobek, Caster can establish a "Temple", boosting the capabilities of allies within greatly and shortening the casting time of all spells utilized by Caster. In addition, Caster can also deploy her Noble Phantasm- "Faiyum Oasis: Crocodilopolis" within her territory, a deadly maze in which the Pharaoh rules supreme.
Item Creation: B
Utilizing the Egyptian Magic of Heka, Caster specializes in the creation of gold and jewels to adorn her beloved Petsuchos, powerful one use Magic Items acting as A rank spells. As a Caster, she can produce these jewels at a rapid pace, her most reliable means of attack.
Personal Skills:
Heka: A
The magic of Ancient Egypt, drawing upon the Authority of the God of Magic Heka to enact miracles. Wards, healing and transfiguration are central aspects of Heka, however Caster has slacked slightly on healing to focus more on it's uses for war. More specifically, she focuses on the summoning of Phantasmal Crocodiles and the manipulation of water.
Divinity: B
As the Pharaoh, Caster can be considered a god in a sense, posing as the child/incarnation of the god of Warfare and Power, Sobek. In addition to this, she was anointed the chief priestess of the Cult of Sobek from birth, being named "She Who Shows The Beauty of Sobek." It is not inaccurate to say that Caster's words were that of the gods, and all who heard them obeyed.
Affections of the Crocodile God: B
An aggressive and militaristic god, Caster was granted the blessings of Sobek from birth, aligning herself with the great crocodile and bringing many sacrifices to him. Caster is granted a + bonus to all stats when submerged in water, in addition she can grow thick scales and sharp teeth to protect herself when forced into close combat.
Faiyum Oasis: Crocodilopolis
Type: Labyrinth
Rank: B
The great city of Sheddet, the city in which the cult of Sobek situated itself and spread their influence, a great labyrinth originally built by Caster's father, Amenemhat III. Caster's life as the Pharaoh was mostly dedicated to expanding the great Crocodilopolis, deepening the labyrinth further and perfecting it, so much so that the famous Daedalus used the Crocodilopolis as a model when constructing his famous Labyrinth to house Minotauros.
Caster's Crocodilopolis is her territory, a labyrinthine temple filled with man eating plants, vast aqueducts, and most importantly, Phantasmal Crocodiles. Dozens upon dozens of Phantasmal Crocodiles, infesting every room of the Crocodilopolis, unsurprisingly. While normally these crocodiles wouldn't be anything special, hardly enough to hurt even the weakest of Servants, within the great Crocodilopolis each beast is equivalent to a Monstrous Beast, a creature of worship that shall not be harmed.
Golden Divine Dragon Crocodile: Petsuchos
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army
Rank: A
The Cult of Sobek's central figure of worship was a crocodile named Petsuchos. To be exact, a series of crocodiles, a new one being adopted and named Petsuchos with each prior one's death. As a Rider, Caster would be able to summon this mighty crocodile as a Divine Beast, trampling over all in her path. However as a Caster, this Noble Phantasm has become slightly trickier in it's usage.
Rather than summoning Petsuchos in all his glory, she can instead "adopt" and designate someone else as Petsuchos, overwriting them as a person and giving them the abilities and statistics of a lesser Petsuchos. These statistics include, Strength B, Agility B, Endurance A, Mana D, and Luck A. All these statistics of course gain a + modifier when submerged in water. On an unrelated note, the person designated as Petsuchos also becomes a hybrid of crocodile and man, because of course her beloved Petsuchos is a crocodile! You should be kissing her fucking feet for granting you the divine form of the crocodile! Or so she says.

ARCHER
[True Name] Gilgamesh
[Aliases] The King of Heroes
[Gender] Male
[Attribute] Heaven
[Backstory] The great half-god, half-human king born from the union between the King of Uruk, Lugalbanda, and goddess Rimat-Ninsun. He ruled the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, the capital city of ancient Mesopotamia in the B.C. era. He was an ultimate, transcendent being so divine as to be two-thirds god and one-third human, and no others in the world could match him. He was a despot possessing high divinity who believed he was invincible. He is not merely a legend, and is said to have actually existed and ruled during the Sumer Dynasty five thousand years ago. He was the King of Heroes who possessed all things in the world, whose tale is recorded in mankind's oldest epic poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh which portrays Gilgamesh as a hero, destined to be king and achieve great feats, who is driven to meet his destiny, facing challenges together with his best friend Enkidu.
His title, King of Heroes, is not meant to call him a king who is a hero, but instead implies that he is the king over all heroes. He is mankind's oldest hero, the origin of all myths and model on which heroes are based, so his story is copied within the mythologies of all the countries of the world. The heroes of various myths are derived from his legend, so his Gate of Babylon possesses all of their Noble Phantasms. Though there are numerous kings with titles such as the King of Knights or the King of Conquerors, he is the only one in all of heaven and earth crowned with the title of "King of All Heroes."
[Personality] Gilgamesh greatly differs from most of the sovereigns and leaders in the history of humanity. He placed himself before his nation and the people, and he had neither the curiosity nor desire to conquer, possibly because he had too much in the beginning. He takes the time to enjoy himself, mastering every treasure and every pleasure. With conviction to treat good and evil equally, he has no need for other ideologies and ways of life when the absolute basis is "himself." His actions and way of life left him alone, so Enkidu compared rectifying his attitude to rectifying his solitude.
He follows a simple style of ruling, acquiring worthy treasures and guarding them. He exterminates those that stand in the way of his enjoyment without exception. All living beings are "something that is about to die" or "something that will one day die." If he decides that there is a "being that should die this moment", he will simply execute the sentence no matter if they should be a sage or a god. If it is an astute judgment synonymous to universal truth, or even a misrule during a drunken stupor, anything carried out by him, the absolute king, becomes the indisputable sentence of the king.
[Type] Heroic Spirit
[Source] Epic of Gilgamesh
[Region] Ancient Mesopotamia
[Armaments] Armor
[STR] B
[AGI] B
[END] B
[MAN] A
[LCK] A
[NP] EX
[Independent Action A] It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master.
[Magic Resistance C] Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
[Collector EX] Gilgamesh is a collector of treasures. "Gathering all the treasures of the earth" is his habit, but it is not a metaphor either. Within his era, he aggregated, paid and sealed unto his collection all the fruits of civilization. Rather than "possession of individual items", it would be more appropriate to say that the true treasure he grasped was "the very essence of human ingenuity." All that falls beyond the Treasury of the King are those creations that came of "new concepts" crafted by Post-Humans and items derived of the civilizations of other celestial bodies.
[Golden Rule A] Being fated a life that is filled with riches, he can live as a millionaire. Gilgamesh lives the life of a nabob and has no money troubles for the entirety of his life. In the legend, he claimed all the world’s treasures as his own and is said to have infinite wealth in his Golden Capital. The originals of Noble Phantasms preserved in his treasury were collected during this period. Although this ability seems unrelated to battle, it plays a great role in arming Gilgamesh.
[Charisma A+] Often praised as the greatest king, Gilgamesh’s ability to command and lead great armies is excellent. An egotistical Gilgamesh radiating with self-confidence will surely boost the morale of his army to an extremely high level.
[Divinity B(A+)] Due to being 2/3 God, Gilgamesh possesses the highest level of divinity among the many Heroic Spirits. His level exceeds even Herakles, who is the son of Zeus and ascended to the Pantheon after death. However, Gilgamesh despises the Gods because they killed his friend Enkidu, unleashed the Bull of Heaven onto the earth, and caused him much trouble. As a result, his Divinity decreased. He is the half-man-half-God King of Heroes born from the union of King of Uruk, Lugalbanda, and goddess Rimat-Ninsun.
Gate of Babylon
~King's Treasury~[Type] Anti-Unit
[Rank] E~A++
[Range] —
[Maximum Number of Targets] —
A key-like sword that connects to the “Golden Capital”. The spatial connection with the treasury allows for easy access to the items within. The rank changes to E~A++ because Gilgamesh put all the originals of Noble Phantasms into the treasury. In other words, E~A++ reflects the rank of the items in the treasury. If the treasury does not contain a wealth of valuables, then it will not be a useful Noble Phantasm.
His favourite Noble Phantasm within the Gate of Babylon is the chain which has captured the Bull of Heaven – Enkidu. It is an anti-deity Noble Phantasm that increases in strength as the target’s Divinity increases. It was able to completely seal Herakles.
Enuma Elish
~The Star of Genesis which Separates the Heaven and Earth~[Type] Anti-World
[Rank] EX
[Range] 1~99
[Maximum Number of Targets] 1000
The sword that cuts and divides the World, with output matching or even exceeds Artoria’s Excalibur. Its power will further increase given the support of Noble Phantasms within Gate of Babylon. More correctly speaking, “Sword of Rupture – Ea” is the Noble Phantasm, “Enuma Elish” is the state under which Sword of Rupture – Ea unleashes its maximum output. By generating wind pressure strata, the attack crushes the enemies by simulating spatial rends. In addition, the names “Sword of Rupture – Ea” and “Enuma Elish” are all given by Gilgamesh. They are thought to be references to the Great God Ea (Enki) of the Mesopotamian and Babylonian myths, and the Genesis Epic of the Babylonian myth, Enuma Elish.
The most powerful sword that cannot be duplicated by Unlimited Blade Work. Gilgamesh calls it “something that knows the hellish planet before genesis”.
Sha Naqba Imuru
~The Omniscient Omnipotent Star~[Type] Anti-Unit
[Rank] EX
[Range] —
[Maximum Number of Targets] 1
The mentality of Gilgamesh sublimated into a Noble Phantasm, said to have "spread across all corners of the world as if the brilliance of the stars, seeing through all creation." It is a "continuously active-type Noble Phantasm" that does not require its name to be invoked. However, Gilgamesh keeps it intentionally restrained for personal reasons. Possessing tremendous efficiency, it can discern heavily concealed truths with a single glance, from that of the opponent's True Name and Noble Phantasms to possibly even seeing through a piece of the truth of the demise of human historyr. Upon releasing its True Name, it will work as a form of "instruction" for him to guide others with the most optimal tactics, simultaneously increasing the attack power and defense power of his whole team near his position.

Saber
"This one will not fall. Nor will I show my back to the enemy."
Servant Profile __________________________________________________________True-Name: Sigurd Aliases: King of Warriors Gender: Male Attribute: Earth Era: Age of Gods Alignment: Neutral Good Qualified Classes: Saber, Rider, Caster Character Objectives: To serve his Master. To face the other heroes. If it were possible, and not too much trouble, to meet with his wife again. | Regend __________________________________________________________Type: Myth Source: Völsunga Saga Region: Northern Europe Weapon: Sword, Daggers Appearance: Dude runs around with a haircut like an early 2001 businessman. He's got like military fatigues, and then he's got floating spikes around him, and gundum arms, and a gasmask, and his sword is like a lightsaber but then it gets like bandages and then it wraps around the handle with the blade, and when he attacks he throws it like knives, and etc. |
Stats __________________________________________________________Endurance: A+ Strength: A+ Agility: B Mana: C Luck: E NP: A++ | Abilities __________________________________________________________Magic Resistance A: Grants protection against magecraft. Rather than simply enduring the effects, the spells themselves are negated, even if Saber is not the only target. Unfriendly spells of A-Rank of below affecting Saber will be cancelled, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy they might be. Riding A: Talent for piloting vehicles and mounts. In Saber's case, it's not an issue even if it's an animal from a foreign land or technology that didn't exist during his time. The only exceptions are Phantasmal Beasts and Divine Beasts. Divinity B: Measure of one's Divine Spirit aptitude, generally as a result of having a god as an ancestor. In Saber's case, the blood of Odin runs through his veins. This Skill has no real function on its own, simply serving as a quality that may become an advantage or disadvantage in terms of compatibility against different opponents. Primordial Rune (Warrior) B: The Magic Crest of Northern Europe which Saber possesses, having been taught to him by Brynhildr. His talent is great enough to allow for summoning as a Caster, but it is still possible to make use of runes as a Saber. Various powerful effects can be applied (Clairvoyance, disguises, Magic Resistance, raising parameters), but not simultaneously. Dragon Kind Modification EX: An extreme form of Self-Modification, causing Saber to take on draconic qualities due to having eaten a dragon's heart. The mana reactor of a dragon has taken form inside his body, allowing Saber to take action with almost no dependence on his Master's energy supply. Crystallization of Wisdom A: The result of eating a dragon's heart. In the myth, it was simply said that Saber was afterwards able to learn secrets by understanding birdsong. In this case, that wisdom has manifested as a pair of glasses (or an intimidating gas mask!) By wearing them, an incredible wealth of information and processing power becomes available. The glasses can even be given to another person, and they would be capable of using them in the same way, though they would suffer a splitting headache. In regards to concerns that a simple pair of glasses could easily be shattered in combat, Saber offers his assurance that as crystallized wisdom, they won't stop shining as long as he doesn't devolve into a mindless beast. What are they? Dawn of Ruin Rank: A NP Type: Anti-Unit Range: 1 Maximum Number of Targets: 1 person Description: The "Sword of the Sun" wielded by Sigurd, originally an enchanted "sword of selection" pulled from the trunk of a mighty tree by Sigurd's father, Sigmund. Later, it shattered from clashing against Gungnir and was reforged by Sigurd into a cursed demonic blade that was capable of killing even a dragon. After that, it became renowned as a "demonic sword of both glory and ruin." It is said to be the strongest demonic sword that can only be equaled to the strongest holy sword Excalibur, and it possesses the special characteristic of "dragon slayer", though its power is normally only unleashed as a blow against a single individual. Since Sigurd carries the reforged version of Gram, it takes on a crystalline appearance that might confuse those attempting to identify it if they are more familiar with its original state, and has a broken fragment attached to the opposite end of the hilt to serve as a second blade, as well as smaller fragments being made into four daggers. Heaven's Wheel of Destruction Rank: A+ NP Type: Anti-Fortress Range: 1~50 Maximum Number of Targets: 1~900 people Description: The most effective way to utilize Gram, according to Sigurd himself. The demonic sword is thrown, scattering destructive flames as it pierces the target. If this first step of the technique can be landed successfully, Sigurd will follow up by driving his fist into the hilt. In this way, the power unleashed is equivalent to an anti-fortress attack. |
Personality
__________________________________________________________A fearless and prideful hero who shows respect to even his enemies, being harsher on himself than on anyone else, not wanting to ever show an opponent his back. Sigurd is incredibly square-toed and ultra-stubborn, to the point where forcing unwanted instructions on him by command spells would be extremely difficult. He is technically a rational person, as he fulfilled his purpose of avenging his father not out love, but from his sense of duty to his family. Slightly blunt to everyone, it's almost impossible for him to show affection, at least on the outside. But if he chose to protect someone without regards of his own safety, that would be the greatest sign of trust or care he could offer.
Expressing no emotion whatsoever even in dire situations, being shown to be stoic as he kept fighting without knowing the love of his mother, father, and foster-father while he took action, taking into account necessity and fairness of the situation at hand to avoid terrible outcomes and benefit everyone with or without their approval. In other words, he does not 'grant wishes' in the way that his counterpart does, but rather assesses for himself what should be done as a hero, with the personal requests of various people being a secondary concern. Regardless of what kind of person Sigurd's Master is, if they are not evil and he finds them worthy of his trust, there will be no difficulty in communication between them and he will carry out their commands efficiently. He is the type of hero not particularly invested in his second life, not having a burning desire for the Holy Grail and being content to serve a Master and simply carry out his role as a hero and a warrior. However, if he were able to make a wish on the grail, it would most likely be for a reunion with his love.
Background
__________________________________________________________Sigurd is known as the Greatest Hero of Northern Europe, a knight equal to King Arthur. As they're quite similar, it's easy to confuse him with Siegfried, but they are different Heroic Spirits. The posthumous child of Hjördís, and King Sigmund of Frakkland who fell in battle against Odin, shattering Gram into fragments with his spear Gungnir. He was sent by King Alf who married his mother to be raised by his blacksmith and teacher, the Dwarf Regin, as his foster-father. He personally revived the sword Gram, "the sword of supremacy in the tree", reforging it anew into a demonic sword that was capable of killing even a dragon, becoming renowned as a demonic sword of both ruin and glory. He soon became the everlasting friend of Grani, a descendant of Sleipnir, who became his steed. Sigurd avenged his father by defeating the armies that joined King Hunding, soon becoming a renowned military man of valor and then a dragonslayer by slaying the dragon Fafnir. Once he devoured its heart and gained the wisdom to understand many things, he became aware of his foster-father's desire to take the dragon's treasure for himself, beheading Regin for his attempted betrayal.
Later in his life, he rode forth to the top of the summit on Mt. Hindarfjall, an inhuman devil-cave where the Valkyrie Brynhildr slept in a circle of fire. Bravely riding through the flame with his steed to reach her, he cut off her mythril armor with Gram. From that act she awakened from her long sleep, and questioned Sigurd's reasons, as he must have known of the prophecy from his uncle, which said that if both of them were to meet each other, ruin would befall them. He confirmed that he knew of it and yet was still doing what needed to be done. Sigurd's reasoning was that he was a cold man with no need for emotions, and the prophecy would be broken if he simply saved her and did not love her. Brynhildr felt glad, but at the same time she felt sadness at knowing he would not love her. Unfortunately, Sigurd had fallen in love with her at first sight, giving her a smile that stole her heart. He then proposed to her, taking her as his wife.
After their honeymoon, she taught him the original runes she had learnt from her father Odin. As time went on, he left her to continue his hero's journey until his return. Sometime during his journey, he had been tricked to drink a special alcohol which was made by Gudrun to have Sigurd forget Brynhildr, so that he may marry her. Gunnar, Gudrun's brother also desired to marry Brynhildr, so he and Sigurd rode off to meet with her, yet she still loved Sigurd and said only the one who passes the trials shall gain her hand in marriage. Gunnar knew he could not do it, so he had asked Sigurd for aid. The one she loved the most in the world; disguising himself with runes in the guise of his brother-in-law's shape. Sigurd rode forth with his steed Grani, proposing to her again in the guise of his brother-in-law, however Brynhildr knew it was Sigurd. She challenged him to a fight, although this was sophistry as Sigurd was already much stronger than her. As a result, he won the fight using the combat skills she provided him with from their time together, presenting her as his brother-in-law's wife. Although she initially accepted the events as her immutable fate, she eventually raised her own hand against her beloved one, killing him by slicing him in half while his family and all of his followers were killed as well through a conspiracy as she took her own life to follow after him into the afterlife.

Lancer Heracles
“I’ll have to remember to put these back later or Atlas is going to be pissed.”
Servant Profile __________________________________________________________True-Name: Heracles Aliases: Alcides Gender: Male Attribute: Heaven Era: Age of Gods Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Qualified Classes: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Assassin Character Objectives: To face other great heroes and warriors in combat. To feel the thrill of battle once more. | Legend __________________________________________________________Type: Myth Source: Greek Myth Region: Greece Weapon: Pillars of Heracles Appearance: Retaining the height of his Berserker form, Lancer is noticeably slimmer than in his other Class but still has a muscular body. He lacks the elbow protrusions of his other form and his facial features are much softer and gentler in appearance. |
Stats __________________________________________________________Endurance: B Strength: B+ Agility: A Mana: A Luck: B NP: A+ | Abilities __________________________________________________________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. Battle Continuation A – A Skill that allows for the continuation of combat after sustaining mortal wounds. The ability to survive; makes it possible to fight even with deadly injuries and can remain alive so long as one does not receive a decisive fatal wound. Bravery A – The ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. It also has the bonus effect of increasing melee damage. During his life time Heracles defeated many monsters and opponents with just his bare hands and brute strength, strangling the otherwise impervious Nemean Lion or crushing the giant Antaeus. Divinity A – The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels, one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit. Being a mixed-race child of the King of Gods, Zeus, and a human, and becoming a god after death, Heracles naturally possessed the highest level of the Divinity Skill. Eye of the Mind (False) B - A natural talent to foresee/sense and avoid danger on the basis of an innate 6th sense, intuition, or prescience. Gained through many ordeals and adventures, he is capable of calm analysis of battle conditions, by which competent grasp of the status of the self and the opponent are obtainable even in the midst of danger; utilization of such to deduce the appropriate course of action that permits escape from a lethal predicament. Subtitle: Twelve Labours Type: Anti-Unit Rank: B Range: – Maximum number of targets: 1 Description: A continuously active-type Noble Phantasm that grants Heracles a "body that knows no death." It is a blessing of the gods representing immortality, as well as being a curse, that was granted to him for completing his Twelve Labours in life. It provides the three effects of resurrection, attack-nullification, and the ability to gain resistance to attacks which have hurt him previous. God Hand applies a conceptual defence based upon rank; it defends against all attacks B-rank and lower, regardless of the attack being physical or magical in nature and ignoring the actual damage that the attack should cause. This Noble Phantasm also grants the effect of automatic regeneration, including resurrection after death, reviving him with a stock of eleven extra lives through layered resurrection magic; Heracles has lives equalling the number of labours he overcame to atone for his sins, rendering him an "immortal" being who must be killed once for each labour to be fully eliminated. For him to be damaged, he must be hit by A-rank attacks or above, requiring the opponent to have at least an A-rank "normal attack" registered through their Strength statistic, A-rank magecraft, or an A-rank Noble Phantasm. Additionally, every time he is harmed by an attack, regardless if it leads to death or not, he will gain resistance after he heals, with subsequent attacks from the same source becoming increasingly ineffective. Subtitle: Shooting the Hundred Heads Type: Unknown Rank: C~A+ Range: “As the occasion demands” Maximum number of targets: – Description: A combat technique devised by Heracles during his battle with the immortal Lernean Hydra, originally taking the form of shooting all 100 heads of the Hydra with a bow and arrow, it was later adapted so that it could be emulated with any weapon type and against any opponent. The result was an all-purpose Noble Phantasm capable of adapting and changing how it appears depending on the target and the circumstances of its use. Depending on how it is used Nine Lives can display power from Anti-Unit to Anti-Army, even up to fortress sieging all depending on the circumstances. In essence, it is a high speed attack consisting of nine consecutive strikes, as swift as if the attacks are overlapping. It can also be a rush of extreme speed that adds up to a hundred attacks within a single breath. It changes form depending on the nature of the target. Subtitle: Proof of the First Labour Type: Anti-Unit Rank: B Range: – Maximum number of targets: – Description: the pelt of the Nemean Lion, obtained by Heracles after exterminating the beast during his First Labour. The beast's skin, through an arduous method, was worked by Heracles into the form of a long, decorated cloth with a distinct pattern. It is worn like a robe over one shoulder and covering his torso. The Nemean Lion was a species of a Demonic or Divine Beast, similar to the Ugallu of Babylon. Such creatures can "reject" human civilization, the Nemean Lion acting like a singularity that rejects human civilization itself. This ability is retained by its pelt, Gilgamesh likening it to an armour that cannot be pierced by any tool created by humans. The pelt's vulnerability is in attacks not delivered by human weapons. Punches, swipes of claws, other forms of natural weapon and the such all directly affect Heracles. The pelt is inherently tough, so though it may be pierced, it will not be ripped apart by such attacks. Subtitle: Pillars Which Bear the Burden of Atlas Type: Anti-Unit Rank: A Range: – Maximum number of targets: 1 Description: A Noble Phantasm which takes the form of two large stone pillars. These pillars as the same as those which once stood on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar, that Heracles erected in order to take the burden of the sky off of Atlas’ shoulders so that the titan could retrieve the golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides as part of his eleventh labour. In this form they are large, heavy and unwieldy weapons which Lancer swings around without grace and uses to simply crush his opponents with brute force. Originally intended to support the sky itself, these pillars have been repurposed as weapons but still carry the conceptual quality of “bearing a great burden”. When striking an opponent with these pillars Heracles is able to impart some of this “burden” to that opponent, gradually weighing them down with the weight of the heavens that Atlas once bore on his back. As the burden increases, one would find it harder and harder to move, each step feeling increasingly heavy, until even taking a step becomes an impossible task; however, as the weight one feels is only conceptual there is no harm to the bearer even when the full burden is applied. |
Personality
__________________________________________________________Arguably the most famous hero of Greek legend, Heracles’ status as a “faultless hero” is further enhanced by being summoned within one of the Knight Classes. Heroic and noble and with a strong moral core that cannot be completely erased even by madness or by Command Seals, Heracles’ will not compromise on his core values even if commanded to by his Master and is willing to go against their orders if necessary.
Capable of fighting with cunning and strategy as well as brute force, Heracles is nonetheless known for his occasional moments of great anger and fits of rage. From beating his harp instructor to death as a child to many other episodes of killing people in anger over his lifetime, the act of going berserk is something that Heracles will never fully escape.
Background
__________________________________________________________Heracles was a demi-god born from Zeus, the king of the gods, and a human woman. While he had superior talent in all areas, he had a number of personality issues. He beat his lyre instructor, Linus to death after he reprimanded Heracles for making errors and then caned him with rods, so his mortal father Amphitryon sent him to tend his cowherds. He thus became a splendid man who accomplished several great deeds that caused the King of Thebes to grant Heracles his daughter, Megara. They had two children, and he earned the right to succeed the king.
He was both young and strong and it seemed that there was no match for him among humans. His future seemed bright, having married the king's daughter and bearing two children, but Zeus's wife, Hera, detested the child born between Zeus and a human. She meddled with his fate at every opportunity, and she started by sending madness to him that caused him to kill his family. Troubled by the sins he had committed, he received a sign that he should atone by becoming the slave of Eurystheus, the man who took away his promised position as king.
Eurystheus, jealous of the strong hero, gave him many difficult tasks, and claimed that Heracles would remain his slave until they were completed. These difficult labours were tasks impossible to complete with normal human skills that later came to be known as the famous Twelve Labours of Heracles. The number of labours originally chosen by the gods was ten, but Eurystheus added two more labours after denying the fulfilment of two of them. Heracles managed to complete even those tasks, so he was granted not only his freedom, but he also received an immortal body as proof of his great accomplishments.
This marked the beginning of the great hero Heracles, the greatest hero in Greece, who singlehandedly achieved great deeds equalling those of the Trojan War and the Argo Expedition. Despite that, Hera's hatred was endless, so the rest of his life was again full of madness. While he should have been immortal, he was killed by poison by one of his wives. Though he was a great hero equally matched with the sun god even as a human, he was slowly killed by Hera's persistent jealousy. His wife was tricked into making him wear a shirt stained in the Hydra poison-tainted blood of the centaur Nessus, sealing his fate, at which point he build a pyre for his own funeral and burned himself, entrusting himself to Zeus' judgment. The gods approved of his great deeds in a conference, prepared a seat in Olympus after his death, and acknowledged him as a god.

Huang Lanfen
“My patience can only last so long. I’m dying to get this started.”
Magus Profile __________________________________________________________Full-Name: Huang Lanfen Aliases: N/A Gender: Female Age: 38 Crest: N/A Family: Huang Species: Human Specialties: Gu, Curses, Formal Craft Character Objectives: To increase the wealth and power of her family | Legend __________________________________________________________Country: China Nationality: Chinese Affiliations: None besides her family Rank: Alignment: Neutral Evil Lanfen is not held back by morality; she is someone who is perfectly willing to kill others by the dozen if it furthers her goals even a little. She is driven by greed and has a cruel streak that, while it doesn’t push her to inflict unnecessary suffering, does mean she enjoys what suffering she does inflict. |
Stats __________________________________________________________Magic Circuit Switch: The image of a snake coiling around a rat Number of Magic Circuits: A Quality of Magic Circuits: C Mana: B Elemental Affinity: Fire and Earth Origin: Accumulation | Abilities __________________________________________________________Although she has never attended the Clocktower, Lanfen is as versed in the basics of General Magecraft as any graduate of the Clocktower would be, having received a comprehensive education from her family. Aside from this she has a strong foundation in formal craft and cursing technique, both of which are geared towards working with her family’s specialty of Gu magecraft. Gu magecraft utilises the practice of sealing several venomous creatures, such as spiders, scorpions, snakes and so on, in a container and waiting for them to devour each other; the poisons and grudges of those creatures are concentrated into the surviving creature and this creature is then used as a source of power or as a charm to perform various acts. The creature can either be used in its entirety or its poison can be extracted and used instead, depending on how much power is required. As a type of magecraft that is very well suited to cultivating magical energy into containers, which can then be used by any Magus and not just the one who cultivated it, Gu magecraft has a good synergy with Formal Craft. The magical energy produced through Gu is also inherently negative, meaning it is well suited for use in cursing techniques; Gu practitioners often use their art either to accumulate wealth, usually at the expense of others, or as a means of enacting revenge and are well acquainted with curses as a result. Concealing Umbrella – A mystic code capable of concealing the magical energies of a person by creating a weak effect not dissimilar to a bounded field. The effect does not reach very far, covering the person holding it and perhaps a couple of others standing in close proximity. The effect is more easily bypassed than that of a bounded field, but it works well at preventing detection from those who are not actively looking to find someone. Magic Opium Pipe – A pipe used in order to spread poisonous vapours over a wide area. When packed with a form of solidified Gu poison and lit the smoke produced by this pipe can be controlled and directed by the Magus holding the pipe. A dozen minor Gu creatures – While the Huang family may possess an extraordinarily powerful Gu creature, every Gu practitioner should regularly cultivate a number of their own creatures for their own use so as not to be tied to one location and so as not to be dependent on others. Lanfen has in her possession twelve minor Gu creatures that she keeps with her at all times to act as fuel for her magecraft when her family’s creature is not readily available. They are strong enough as to be able to shapeshift into different animals and Lanfen likes to have them take the form of blood-red butterflies, but they are able to take on more subtle forms if need be. The ancient familiar cultivated by the Huang family over the course of centuries; originally an ordinary creature, it has been fed enough grudges that it has become something much more. On the level of a Monstrous Beast, its original form is no longer known, being able to shapeshift as any well-developed Gu creation can, but it often takes on the guise of an abnormally large snake of some kind. Capable of producing powerful magical venoms that fuel the Gu magecraft her family uses, it is also a formidable beast in its own right having been the focus on her families efforts for centuries and having accumulated tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of grudges. |
Personality
__________________________________________________________Lanfen is a patient and methodical person, someone who understands the value of taking their time to ensure things are done properly, but this is due to a surplus of restraint rather than being her natural state; it is against her base nature to hold herself back and to take things slow but these are the values that she was taught and she has enough self-control to abide by them.
She is greedy, naturally avaricious and covetous, but not so much as to let it affect her actions. She is one to set her sights high and always aim for the biggest reward possible, but is able to let an opportunity pass if pursuing it would put herself at risk.
There is a cruel streak running through her that shows itself on occasion. Lanfen does not actively seek to do harm to others, but if she must harm others to reach her goal then she will not hesitate to do so and will even do so with a hint of eagerness at times. There is a mocking note to her personality that she is not always able to hide.
Background
__________________________________________________________The Huang family has existed in some form or another for over 1000 years, although anti-sorcery purges and changes to the political climate in China mean that they have undergone several transitions during that time. Hailing from Southern China they are a group of Gu practitioners who used their abilities to quickly acquire a vast amount of wealth and power, using curses and poisons to eliminate rivals or prominent individuals and claim their fortunes as their own. However, such growth attracted attention and during one of China’s many purges of Gu practitioners and witches they were discovered and nearly eradicated; their work was destroyed, their members nearly wiped out and their fortune lost. Some of the family managed to survive, by luck or by design, and were able to rebuild from the ground up.
This story repeated itself several times; a swift rise and an even more abrupt fall as Gu practitioners were hunted and eradicated by whoever was in power at the time and all eyes turned towards those families who had no good explanation for where or how they had obtained what they had. All progress lost and all fortune scattered as the Huang’s were left to pick up the pieces and start again. Hard lessons were learnt along the way and a subtler, more careful approach was adopted; a slower accumulation of wealth, less obvious grabs for power and a lot of care given to staying in the shadows and giving people no reason to notice them.
They learned the hard way that growing too fast tends to attract attention and all the power in the world meant nothing when the might of the Emperor was directed against them. Patience and a slow and steady solidifying of their foothold would mean that they would outlast any Emperor that sought to eradicate them, or any other threat for that matter. The last purge they fell victim to was 400 years ago and because of their new approach they were one of the last groups of Gu practitioners to be discovered, giving them the time they needed to hide and secure most of their assets and even avoid the destruction of the most powerful of the Gu creatures that they had been cultivating over the last 200 years, preventing the loss of their magecraft.
This is the Huang family as Lanfen was born into it; careful, methodical and subdued. They yearned for the wealth and power they once achieved at their height, though they were not lacking in either, but restrained themselves and focused on slowly and steadily cultivating both in a manner that would benefit future generations more than themselves. Always with an eye to the future, the Huang family grows and grows and grows without exposing themselves to the world at large. Even so, they could not resist the allure of the Holy Grail War; they know they are taking a risk in sending a representative and exposing themselves, but what they stand to gain if they claim the Grail is potentially greater than what they might lose. After all, it’s not like they haven’t rebuilt themselves several times before and the loss of a single Magus is hardly comparable to the purges of the past.
