True Name: Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont

Age: 24

Cause of Death: Guillotine

Gender: Female

Master: Jacob

Class: Assassin

Summoning Relic - Blood stained guillotine blade shard

Class Skill: Presence Concealment – A skill common to most members of the Assassin class, this ability represents the capacity of the user to hide their nature as a Servant from both other Servants and Masters. When acting in a non-aggressive manner Assassins are nigh impossible to detect under normal conditions unless they chose otherwise. Useful for both reconnaissance and escape, as well as attacks of opportunity.

Noble Phantasm: Assassins Blade (Anti-Unit) - The base manifestation of this Noble Phantasm lacks a consistent physical form as it is the manifestation of an idea rather than a specific artefact that existed in reality. Assassins Blade enhances weapons held by the Servant, provided they meet specific criterion that they must have an edge and/or a stabbing point. The enhancement functions in such a way that it gives the weapon properties 'suitable for assassination'. These properties include vastly increased durability, sharpness and penetrative properties. The effect is maintained through physical contact and is transient in nature, fading almost instantaneously once physical contact with the weapon is lost. The opposite is also true, with enhancement happening almost instantaneously upon contact with a weapon or tool that meets the criteria. Essentially this weapon allows 'normal' weapons to inflict harm upon most entities. Due to its inconsistent nature the permanent destruction of this Noble Phantasm is theoretically improbable.

Appearance



Personality: Having been raised in Abbaye-aux-Dames, a convent in Caen following the untimely death of her mother and elder sister Charlotte is both well-educated and eloquent, as well as a woman of great religious faith. Or at least that is how history would record her. In truth Charlotte Corday is mild mannered only when it is desirable for her to be so, her natural silver tongue allowing her to easily manipulate the opinions of others. She is also very adept at lying and twisting the truth, requiring a skilled mind to see through her illusions. Though her gift of the gab transcended death her piety did not. Having been denied the afterlife that her faith promised her Charlotte’s faith has been significantly eroded, leaving her with an emotional hole in her heart.

As befits her role as the Assassin she has no obvious qualms about ending life, be that of Servant, Master or Witness should it be required of her, especially if the end justifies the means. As expected of members of her class she is also loathe to engage in a fair fight if it can be avoided due to her lower combat potential when compared to other Servants. Unless given the chance to manipulate a situation to her advantage beforehand she might outright refuse an order to battle another Servant directly.

Alignment: True Neutral

Legend: Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont was executed at the age of 24 for the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat. Her legend arose due to her status as a heroine of the Second Empire of France, resulting in her spirit becoming shackled to the so called Throne of Heroes and therefore preventing her soul from reincarnating, thereby granting her status as a ‘heroic spirit’. Her legend is somewhat stronger then that of many Assassin class Servants, making her more powerful relatively speaking, as well as preventing her from losing her identify and therefore her face.

Though she was not born to poverty or the like Charlotte Corday was born to a period of great strife and hardship in France during which the long standing social order would ultimately be up heaved. Unlike many killers of this age Charlotte was no trained killer or soldier. Her assassination of Marat was the result of a belief that he should be punished for his role during the Reign of Terror, as well as the belief that without his death the country would be driven to another civil war from which it might never recover. Through his death she believed that this outcome could be avoided.

Other/s

Despite having a true identity and therefore retaining her appearance Charlotte still wears a mask in combat.
She insists on being called by her full name, Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont. Charlotte Corday has to be earned. Charlotte is costly. To this end it is easier to just stick with Assassin.
The scarf that she is so fond of wearing hides a scar that circles the base of her neck, an indication as to the cause of her death.

Name – Louise Evangeline Kotomi
Age – 19
Gender – Female
Servant -
Alignment – Neutral Good
Elemental Affinity – Air
Thaumaturgy - Alchemy – This branch of magecraft focuses on the ability to convert, create and manipulate matter. High level alchemist are also able to convert phenomena. Louise’s known abilities include;

Reconstruction – A specific form of matter manipulation dedicated solely to reconstructing an object to its previous state of existence. As there is no alteration of the materials intrinsic and physical properties the technique requires less preparation than Transmutation, requiring only physical contact, concentration and sufficient prana. If the user possess insufficient od and the area lacks enough mana to complete the task the object will fail to reconstruct and be reduced to its degraded state.

There are certain fundamental limitations in regard in Reconstruction magecraft. The object must have at some point in its history been ‘whole’. This ability is not meant to build or create objects, only restore them to a previous state. If the object has no history of being whole there is no previous state to which it can be returned. Objects with Legendary or Divine properties cannot be Reconstructed with this magecraft.

The time taken increases with the magnitude of the damage and history of the object. How the damage was caused is largely irrelevant. Area wide reconstruction requires preparation time.

Transmutation – The ability to manipulate the configuration and properties of an object or material at its most basic level, such as increasing or decreasing the durability or density of an object. As a chemistry student Louise has a very firm understanding of the principles that underlie and dictate the properties of materials and is naturally proficient in this arena of Alchemy. Louise’s Transmutation requires that the material to be ‘changed’ is physically present in reality and can be interacted with directly, along with certain preparative measures such as the appropriate magical circles. Unlike the aptly named ‘Reinforcement’ Transmutation takes longer to implement and is far less battle worthy as a result.

Broom flight - Female magi can easily achieve magical properties such as "foot not making contact with the ground" and "repelled by the earth" when employing a broom, allowing for the use of said item for transportation purposes. Louise is trying to develop a method to trump the so called "Touko Travel" method, though has met with little success.

Void Implosion/Explosion Mk2 – An ability that involves creating an implosion of air through the creation of a temporary void zone. Removal of the void zone creates an explosion of air in a sphere around the central point, blowing everything in proximity away with kinetic force. Generally harmless but is good at separating individuals. An improvement of Mk1, which would also hit Louise as well. MK2 only affects her 30% of the time. Has been known to shatter windows when aimed badly.




Personality – A mage who is generally speaking a good person, if not exactly 100% ethical and certainly not virtuous. In fact at times she can be quite the ‘lecherous old man’ according to certain sources, i.e. anyone who has known her for more than an afternoon. Because of this she has something of a following of like minded individuals. She does not discriminate between the genders either. Her more admirable qualities include an innate talent for both her Magecraft and Chemistry and is one of the better students of the later in her year at the university. She is also curious and can be surprising astute and empathic when it is called for. Despite her obvious inclinations Louise has very little experience of actual romance, causing her brain to ‘malfunction’ if her actions result in positive consequences.

Biography – A chemistry student studying at the Ukatan City University in Japan who also happens to be a practising Alchemist. Originally from France, Louise moved to Japan several years ago following the divorce of her parents. Her father, a member of the Mage’s Association used his connections to set up his daughter in a new university which itself had strong ties to the Association. A mere formality considering that she was something of a prodigy at her previous university. Luckily due to having a Japanese father and a French mother Louise was at ease with both languages and acclimated quickly to her surroundings. Her easy going personality made it easy for her to make new friends, though she is not exactly ‘popular’ and is often in trouble due to her antics.

With rumours of a new Holy Grail War spreading through the community it did not take her father long to warn her off of any foolish notions in regard to attempting the summoning required to take part. Louise for the most part had no real interest in taking part in the Grail War, however the prospect of Servants being summoned caused her to become curious about the specifics of such rituals and their intricacies and complexities. With that in mind Louise began researching the required rituals. She assumed that she would be safe enough since she did not consider herself to be either a ‘worthy’ candidate or having a wish that she desired fulfilling. Apparently some other force disagreed.

ThemeWith Lightning Speed
FYI this is literally one of the most useless possible magecrafts you could have. Like, it's incredibly, incomprehensibly bad. The only people who can use it to where it's useful are the Ainsworths, to any other modern magus it's pointless. You can't really do anything of value with it.


Hehe, I know it's virtually useless in a practical sense, but still as a low level magecraft in the Alchemy branch it would be strange not to know it. I suppose I could/should come up with something else though.

That's not really how Western Alchemy works. It's not really a blend with science, science+magecraft kills magecraft's mystery. Since you don't have spells that "apply" that though it's fine, I guess.


Yeah, my bad, kind of messed myself up a little there. I'll change that.

Cheers for the critique.
The master...is done. Though it is still slightly rough. I need some critique of the abilities, too much, too little, is Transmutation distinct enough from Reinforcement?

Speaking of abilities my Assassin possesses 'Information Erasure'. I wanted to get people's opinions on this as I can understand how it would make posting awkward when Assassin is involved since you would all, save for the Caster, lose your recollection of the encounter and any information you might have gained.

If you guys think it should be changed I have plenty of less obtrusive options to fill in the gap.

Noble Phantasm: Nameless Blade (Anti-Unit) - The base manifestation of this Assassin specific Noble Phantasm lacks a consistent physical form as it is the manifestation of an idea rather than a specific artefact that existed in reality. As such it ‘manifests’ via the imbuement of specific properties into weapon’s possessing sharp edges and/or points that increases the weapons suitability for fighting Servant level opponents. The effect is maintained for only as long as the weapon is held by the Servant, its effect dissipating almost instantly upon loss of physical contact. By the same measure the effect is granted to any weapon meeting the specific criteria once held by the user. Properties that increase ‘suitability for fighting Servants’ include vastly increased durability and sharpness. Such weapons can more easily bypass tough defences due to the nature of their class affiliation. Due to its inconsistent nature the permanent destruction of this Noble Phantasm is theoretically improbable.

Hehe, no, what I meant is you can pick which servant my master character receives. I'm making an assassin right now.
Cheers, though I meant the assignment of a servant to my master ^^
I'll make a master if need be. As for preferred servant I'd rather leave that up to chance, as it were.
