Personality
Kiyomi tends to have no emotion, most of the time she is serious for her work since she wants to represent the Tohsaka's well. But at times she can be like her grandmother, what you'd call a tsundere. Kiyomi cares for all people around her, except for fellow masters and servants. She will do whatever it takes to win the Holy Grail War.

History
Kiyomi was born into the Tohsaka family, being born with 35 magic circuits in her body. Kiyomi was raised by her mother and father when growing up, with her grandmather living in the house giving aid of magic to the family. She has an older sister in the family who is three years older than Kiyomi, but she was born with only 20 magic circuits. Kiyomi didn't get along well with her older sister, since her sister wants to be the one to participate in the Holy Grail War for the Tohsaka's. Kiyomi and her sister were taught magic by their grandmother, who survived the previous holy grail war. Kiyomi looked up to her grandmother when growing up, but this time she wanted to be the one to win the Holy Grail this time, but she knew that she wasn't going to get the role. Her sister was way more intelligent than her in many different ways, so she doesn't know exactly why she's worrying about no getting the role.

Kiyomi had started to learn lots about Jewel Magic, as well as Geokinesis, the mastery over earth. Kiyomi was better at Geokinesis though, while her sister wanted to follow Jewel Magic just like her grandmother. One day her grandmother had talked to Kiyomi privately, telling Kiyomi that she would be more likely to be picked to be in the Holy Grail War when she was older. Kiyomi was troubled by the thought of being in the Holy Grail War, but she was told that she had so much potential inside of her to grow even stronger than Rin Tohsaka in the last Holy Grail War. Kiyomi continuously denied this statement by her grandmother, not believing it one bit.

When Kiyomi was seventeen, she heard of other families starting to get their command seals already. Kiyomi still didn't believe that she was going to get command seals, still believing for her sister to get them instead. After some time one day she came home from school, and experienced pain on her right hand. Her hand had started to glow as it died down, a red mark had appeared on her hand. She continually stared at it for a while before going to her grandmother's room, showing the mark on her hand to ask if they were command seals. Her grandmother had said they were, sending Kiyomi into a denying phase.

And then came the moment to summon her Heroic Spirit, she decided to summon Assassin, so that she could one by one eliminate all of the enemies from the shadows. So she got part of Brutus's clothes, the one who assassinated Julius Caesar and started to chant from a circle in the basement of the mansion.

"I command thee...
Thou shalt come forth to my side;
Thy sword shalt control my fate."

Kiyomi took a break as gems melted in her hand, closing her eyes as she continued her chanting. A small gust of wind started to fill the room that she was in.

"Abiding by the Holy Grail's haven,
If thou accedest to this will and reason, then answer me
The oath set forth here.
I am the embodiment of good in the eternal world.
I am the disposer of evil in the eternal world.
Thee, the seven heavens that bear the great trinity,
Come forth from the circle of constraint..."

When the summoning chant was almost completed, the fingers that gripped the gem loosened, letting the object fall on the floor. It dropped quietly, almost turning into liquid form as it reached the summoning circle. Once the two objects molded as one, the reddish glow on the circle intensified until it seemed that the circle itself floated in midair. The wind seemed to increase each passing second. Kiyomi suddenly opened her eyes as she said the final chant:

"... O Guardian of the balance!"

A blinding light came forth from the circle, disturbing the darkness that covered the entire mansion. It was so bright that it even illuminated the surrounding trees. Suddenly, a loud blast was heard as an energy of unknown force came forth. The impact sent Kiyomi reeling on the floor in the next room. Groaning at the sharp pain on her rear, she quickly scrambled to her feet and ran to the room where the oath was made.

Her Servant had arrived.

Poison - Assassin's most valuable kunai, it has the ability to poison the enemy, the effect lasts as long as Assassin is living.
Paralysis - Assassin paralyses the enemy, making them unable to move for a short time, giving Assassin time to go in for the kill with his daggers.

Assassin is able to pull his knives towards him from a distance.
Shadows
Assassin can manipulate shadows to create small illusions.

Personality
Assassin has a very sarcastic personality, but also a very protective personality towards his master. To other servants he tends to dislike them a lot, trying to get their full potential out, so he can get information back to his headmaster about each servant. Assassin only uses his kunai's if he wants to go kill the enemy, he'll try to take out the master first though.

History
Marcus Junius Brutus Minorwas the son of Marcus Junius Brutus Maior and Servilia Caepionis. His father was killed by Pompey the Great in dubious circumstances after he had taken part in the rebellion of Lepidus; his mother was the half-sister of Cato the Younger, and later Julius Caesar's mistress. Some sources refer to the possibility of Caesar being his real father, despite Caesar's being only 15 years old when Brutus was born. Around the time of the assassination, many senators began to fear Caesar's growing power following his appointment as dictator in perpetuity. Brutus was persuaded into joining the conspiracy against Caesar by the other senators. Eventually, Brutus decided to move against Caesar after Caesar's king-like behavior prompted him to take action. His wife was the only woman privy to the plot.

When Caesar finally did come to the Senate, they attacked him. Publius Servilius Casca Longus was allegedly the first to attack Caesar with a blow to the shoulder, which Caesar blocked.[24] However, upon seeing Brutus was with the conspirators, he covered his face with his toga and resigned himself to his fate. The conspirators attacked in such numbers that they even wounded one another. Brutus is said to have been wounded in the hand and in the legs.

Upon hearing that neither Mark Antony nor Octavian had an army big enough to defend Rome, Brutus rallied his troops, which totalled about 17 legions. When Octavian heard that Brutus was on his way to Rome, he made peace with Antony. Their armies, which together totalled about 19 legions, marched to meet Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. The two sides met in two engagements known as the Battle of Philippi. The first was fought on October 3, 42 BC, in which Brutus defeated Octavian's forces, although Cassius was defeated by Antony's forces. The second engagement was fought on October 23, 42 BC and ended in Brutus' defeat.

After the defeat, he fled into the nearby hills with only about four legions. Knowing his army had been defeated and that he would be captured, Brutus committed suicide by running into his own sword being held by two of his own men.

[vFear]

Master

[Valeria von Einzbern (right) pictured with her senior maid, Adelheid (left).]

Name:
Valeria von Einzbern.

Nickname:
Null.

Appearance:
Valeria stands at 4 feet and 3 inches with an elegant build and a light, clear complexion. Her eyes are a strong shade of Crimson and her relativity short hair an off shade of white, both of which telling of her affiliation to the Einzbern family. Much like her predecessor, Valeria remains prepubescent in appearance regardless of growing age, although as more of a defect as opposed to a side effect; although this has little implication since Valeria is infertile regardless.

Valeria wears a variation of white dresses with royal purple trims, the majority of which complete with frills and a matching hat.

Age:
21 (Twenty-one).

Gender:
Female ♀.

Servant:
Archer (Balthasar Gérard).

Magic Circuits:
Approximately 70% of Valeria's body consist of magic circuits.

Personality:
Valeria is borderline antagonistic in nature, accompanied by blind loyalty to the Einzbern family. She plays something of a mix between a leader and a spymaster: she prefers retaining command and executing her will through her underlings, whether aware or otherwise, and uses intelligence acquisition-based tactics to gain the upper hand on.. just about anybody she sees fit, really. She's famously bold throughout the Einzbern family and is a few steps shy of being ruthless.

In a social setting, Valeria is charismatic in the sort of way you'd expect someone intending to manipulate you would be. She's fairly discreet when the situation calls for it, but outside of that, she deliberately toys with those who she's not close with for her own amusement; the only one who seems to speak with her on mostly even terms is the Einzbern senior maid, Adelheid.

History:
Valeria was created at the initiative of Jubstacheit von Einzbern for the sixth holy grail war to act as the vessel at the Einzbern head estate in Germany; Gerlinde was created alongside her, built and optimized to act as a bodyguard, whilst the much older Adelheid was appointed to act as Valeria's lieutenant, teacher, and council. Valeria was raised by carefully selected delegates and underlings of Jubstacheit, ranging from close family members to hired renowed magus, to learn the skills she would need to know - as selected by the old man - to become the vessel of the holy grail, to defeat the other masters, and manage Einzbern operations in Fuyuki City.

Gerlinde stands at 5 feet and 9 inches with silver, borderline white hair and dulled crimson eyes with a muscular build often covered in the Einzbern maid attire. She carries an excessively large and inproportionately wide Zweihander greatsword with her into battle, which she enhances using earth magic. At the cost of her high combat ability, much like her predecessor, she is infertile, has below-average intelligence, and mostly lacks a personality to speak of. Adelheid, on the other hand, is much different: she's cunning, efficient, quick-thinking and intelligent, with an iron will that could put the young mistress herself to the test. She fights using a pair of Turkish Falchions and throwing daggers, enhanced by lightning and wind magic; she strides to make up for her lack of raw power with a more agile fighting style, which let's her keep up with Gerlinde.

Only 6 years ago, when she was 15 years old, did Valeria move to Fuyuki City. A small cabinet of her mentors initially stayed to help her get the feel of things before she was left to her own devices. Over the remaining 6 years, Valeria has been hard at work: she's established a wide information net over Fuyuki City using her familiars and has secured both the local Yakuza presence and a number of politicians on the local council as her underlings, whether willing or otherwise. Through this robust network, she secured the remnants of one of Balthasar Gérard's flintlocks through purchase on the black market, which now acts as a catalyst for summoning her future servant of the same name.

Magic:
Valeria is a novice as far as direct forms of combat and support magic go but is extremely talented with familiars. Using either lengths of thin wires or strands of hair, the number of which depending on what she's casting, she can create an assortment of familiars, ranging from nondescript insects and rodents to large war elephants.

Servant

Name:
[Balthasar Gérard.]

Nickname:
Null.

Appearance:
Balthasar stands at 5 feet and 11 inches with a semi-athletic build and a slightly tanned, clear complexion. His hair is a shade of natural black and is worn slicked back, accompanied by semi-vibrant emerald eyes and a clean shave, if not a slight stubble on off days.

Balthasar primarily wears a dark jagged hooded poncho which obscures his features; it wouldn't be hard to mistake him for an Assassin-class servant based off appearance alone. Outside of his traditional attire, he dresses with 'class' as perceived by the Einzbern's, often in a black and white suit with a loosened or absent tie accompanied by an overcoat.

Gender:
Male ♂.

Master:
Valeria von Einzbern.

Heroic Spirit:
Balthasar Gérard.

Servant Type:
Archer.

Noble Phantasm:
Bane of William the Silent, mysterious flintlocks.
- Rank: B
- Type: Anti-Personnel.
- Maximum range: 30 yards.
- Maximum target: 2 objects.
- "A pair of mysterious flintlocks of unknown origin. The flintlocks were used by Balthasar Gérard to kill the rebel William the Silent. Although Balthasar only fired a single volley at William the Silent, William was shot 3 times and died shortly after. The flintlocks magically reload themselves in approximately the same time it would take a modern semi-automatic pistol to chamber another round."

Class Abilities:
Independent Action: B
- Ability that allows independent movement even after the Master's magical energy supply is cut off. With rank B, it is possible for a Servant to stay in this world for two days after losing its master.

Magic Resistance: D
- Nullifies single-action magic. Magic resistance equivalent to a warding amulet.

Skills:
Zealotry: B+
- Normally unattainable mental strength can be obtained by having so much religious faith in something that it is beyond understanding of those around him.
- Strong resistance to mental interference magic is obtained and physical pain is barely felt, if at all - although the damage remains.

Instinct: B
- The ability to always "feel" the best course for oneself during combat.
- Whilst some would argue that Balthasar has developed instinct, others would call it divine guidance.

Clairvoyance: D-
- Allows clear vision of distant targets, and improves body movement and vision.
- At this rank, Balthasar is more of a talented scout than a hawk.

Personality:
As opposed to Valeria's cold and cunning personality, Balthasar is charismatic, witty, and sarcastic. Whilst he generally fights in dedicated silence, outside of combat he's favors sarcastic humor, witty responses and one-liners, and puns. To some contrast however, he's a very religious man and takes his dedication to the Catholic faith very seriously.His puns are terrible, please don't encourage him.

History:
On the 10th of July, 1584, out of loyalty to King Philip II of Spain and the Christian faith, Balthasar shot and killed the independence leader William of Orange - such is known as fact. It's also known that Balthasar Gérard carried 2 flintlocks but William the Silent was shot 3 times in 1 volley, and that throughout his days of brutal torture leading to his execution, he showed little signs of pain or fear. Although as a heroic spirit Balthasar is relatively minor, the legends exist: and the legends say that Balthasar's mysterious flintlocks were the product of a progressive witch, and that he was something of a saint or angel and the assassination was not the wrath of King Philip the II, but God himself. Whilst many suspect that Balthasar may have very well been an angel sent by god, the reality is that he's a dedicated christian and his flintlocks were magically enchanted, although only some of this has carried through to the popular legend.
