Name: Kikyo Tohsaka
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Appearance:
Personality: Kikyo is the sort of person who at times can seem rather bored and tired of things, stemming from her status a genius/prodigy in part that has dulled her sense of the world to an extent. That being said, when she gets onto topics she loves or enjoys, it is hard to make her shut up and calm down when she gets into such a mood. When she indulges in certain activities such as cooking and swimming, she tends to fall into a somewhat “spaced out” sort of mode where she claims it helps release her mind from the usual stress of life and allows her to empty her mind. Ironically, this isn’t on the level of but is similar to the concept of Mushin (no-mind) seen in martial arts.
Beyond this she is normally rather serious when it comes to serious matters, and this Holy Grail War is no exception to that. Though mentions of her mentor at the Clocktower can bring up good memories for her that she seems to genuinely smile at in retrospect. Though when it comes to attractions and speaking her mind, she can be as blunt as ever about her likes and dislikes without hesitation.
Skills:
-Swimming
-Cooking- Cheap ramen noodles and home recipes to save money are the name of her cooking game. She can’t cook a five star meal to save her life, mainly due to not bothering to want to learn due to boredom, but due to experience and some learning one could give her scraps and limited supplies and she can transform them into a great dish on the fly for any occasion. Also helps when one’s money ends up going to jewels and other things, and one’s family is constantly struggling in the financial regard. Though given the chance to learn, she might have had a future as chef were she a normal human being and not born into the world of magi.
Abilities:
-General Magecraft- The usual things a mage would learn at base, magecraft skills like locking doors or making bounded fields or constructing familiars. Also within this general magecraft is very proficient in Reinforcement magecraft.
-Jewel Magecraft- The Tohsaka Family Specialty, she very much excels at this magecraft much like she does other forms she has put time and effort into. This includes the creation of small jeweled figures that can move about as familiars as well. She currently possesses 12 gems and about 5 jewel familiars, having built up a store. It perhaps helps that her mother has many business connections among normal people in order to keep the family’s budget afloat in the first place beyond their usual income. However, her father sacrificed his own supplies for her to make the Jeweled Sword due to time constraints.
-Earth Magecraft- Due to having and Earth affinity and a combination of prodigy/training in magecraft, she possesses a rather high amount of skill in this area as general-use combat magecraft to supplement her jewels and lessen how much she’d need to use them. Has discovered a spell or two to help search for gems on her own if need be, though has not applied them yet in practice due to a lack of time.
Short History: Kikyo was born the heiress of the Tohsaka family, the head to their magecraft who would take them to the next level. She was drilled in the magecraft of her family, and even spent some years at the Clocktower learning there. Amongst her peers she proved to be a rare talent, a genius prodigy that swiftly gained attention from those higher up who sought to use her to their own gains/ends. It was a natural thing, but in the end she chose to learn under a professor who seemed to be more "entertaining" and "genuine" a person than others. Safe to say, to her the time was never “boring” around him, and she gleaned the best she could whilst under his tutelage. To her “it was the most exciting time of my life when it came to magecraft”.
However, she was the sort of genius who feels bored with life at times, finding many things dull due to her skills being that level above the average. She found some enjoyment in martial arts, and took up classes in them, and swimming as well as shopping for clothes became hobbies for her at times that she found entertaining. Though a mage, she held no evil or selfish intent for the world, merely desiring to feel alive and learn. Further, her parents slated her to join the next Holy Grail War as was fitting.
Yet she helped managed to do the unthinkable, surpassing her ancestors ahead of schedule as she was called back home and temporarily abandoned her tutelage (master’s permission given of course) to return with her family’s home in Fuyuki to help finish the last part of a project they had long worked on. So when the Einzbern struck with a their plan to seize the Holy Grail, she had by this time managed to help finish the lifelong project of her family alongside her parents: an (imperfect) version of the Jeweled Sword Zeltrech. With this she and her family got the idea to use this object to gather mana to manage to summon another 7 servants to oppose the Einzberns. However, as a result the imperfect sword was destroyed due to the strain.
Other: Has a secret enjoyment of super spicy mapou tofu, though can't cook it. If she gets it she goes late at night to her favorite place, in order to avoid detection by many others and friends/family. In general, she just really likes spicy food, and at times has certain odd feelings when eating it as well when the spicyness is intense enough.

Video Conference With Japanese Team
"Bluntly speaking, seeding chaos like this must have a very deliberate purpose. An endgame if you will. So to what specific end or purpose might this all be aiming for? We must ask ourselves this as we investigate this matter on all sides, even if it seem ludicrous at the time as we weed things out," the small Empress said once her time to speak came along, having carefully listened to the others speak with a calm formality about her, though she did continue speaking after a second, a determined regality in her tone, calm, smooth, yet calculating in nature much like the look of her eyes at this point in time, "There were two similar situations in my world where someone drove the world into a war, both times to meet specific ends and goals. Similar sentiments have been noted here about both Yukari and Altair, that they would each have a distinct reason for acting as they are. And if both don't have plainly obvious reasons, as seems to perhaps be the case, then we must look beyond the boundaries of their normal character as to why they might be doing what they are."
To what end was bringing many random beings here for? It couldn't be to simply stir up chaos, there was always a reason others did such things to the world. To seize power, manipulate the populace, to awaken forces for their own gain, among other potential things. She had even sent the Greil Mercenaries to disrupt illegal slave trade a time ago to better get a hold on the senate's more underhanded dealings. Whether in small scale or large, there was always a reason. And if this Altair was as intelligent, powerful, and cunning as she was being made out to be then there had to be a grand scheme. A bigger plan than to cause chaos or recruit others to her cause such as this Yukari. that or even this Altair could be under the effect of something else beyond this, if she had no proper reason to do things here according to Ms. Meteora. It was all still very much a mystery.
"Thus i have a suggestion. If we could find a manner in which to force one or both of these individual to manifest before us without battle, or under the right circumstances, we could potentially question them even if temporarily. Further, a coordinated effort between our groups that might separate them for questioning could be even better so if possible," Sanaki continued, keeping a proper tone as she stepped forwards again to stand in front of the screen, arms held behind her back in a proper manner as if addressing the senate or another crowd whilst on her feet, "Regardless of what plans could be made, information is also an important matter that requires care. With Altair's apparent skills, though, we must not be too secretive either, lest this arouse too much suspicion. Thus i propose that we utilize our 'unique' people on both sides to find a means by which to securely communicate. Perhaps by magic of some kind, or a combination of things?"
Li Shuwen
Yakuza Storehouse, Near Ikebukuro, Tokyo
The Yakuza. Japan's own version of the Mafia, some operated well into modern times admits all the advancement and other goings on. In particular, one group had operated in Tokyo for a few generations, and even in modern times had storehouses and meeting places scattered about Tokyo for purposes of business. And business had been going smoothly and quietly as normal....until recently. Strange people appearing out of nowhere, monsters destroying things, they had been forced to pull supplies and forces out of some areas to avoid taking too much collateral.
In particular, a hideout concealed in the basement of a legitimate business (one this particular group owned) near the borders of Ikebukuro was in danger due to the area being declared a dangerous place to avoid. In response, the group was trying to get out a shipment of smuggled arms and "human product" they had been keeping there as soon as the first abnormal dangers in the city had arisen, to be moved to another place. In the meantime they had offered a little help in getting people out of the affected area initially, which had kept the eyes of the officials off of them enough to make this possible.
Though there was one problem they had never forseen....
"Oh? This is not the Moon Cell." he had exclaimed initially.
A man who looked like a Chinese in fancy clothes had appeared before them within the hideout, out of the blue. Another one of those strange figures seemingly jumping from the world of fiction, and the group of men currently removing supplies and people from the storage area had attacked on sight. How dare more of these things show up, on their turf, killing their guys and ruining their business! However, even this had been in vain, as the strangely clothed, red-haired man had slain the group down to the last man faster than they could manage to do a thing to react more.
As the martial artist knocked down the entrance, chunk of the wall blown away like paper in the face of a fire, he dusted himself off as the people he'd freed walked past. Surely it wasn't his job to free them, his fists had done much evil in life. But "that girl" back home would have scoffed at this terrible sight, he knew that much, and until he returned he could at least do this little something for her as a reminder to himself as well of that need to return. Further, the act of keeping these girls like this offended him. And so he did this, to free those weak and slay those men who had dared to raise their weapons at him in a futile effort.
'Not even a challenge...," the martial artist thought to himself with a mental sigh of exasperation,
He thought this even as the bruised "human product" ran out of the building, the few scared-looking girls moving past him without a thought, running out of the building proper as well to escape and flee to potential safety together outside of Ikebukuro. They had learned the area wasn't safe from their captors as the first few had been gathered up to be moved, and as such weren't interested in hanging around now that they were free. Only one, a girl in her mid-teens seemed to stop, however, and give enough time to respectfully bow to the martial artist before running off to join the others. It merely brought a small smile to the martial artist's lips, as her appearance reminded him of "that girl" who was the master of the ruler of the Moon Cell.
But looking out into the distance, he noticed the destruction from Ikebukuro from afar. It only took a moment of pondering before a smile came to his face. Ah. Such devastation to be wrought, it was like what that man who had been a former master of his had described the world as after their initial meeting. Though this was definitely not the same world, at all in fact, though similarities to what the Moon Cell had recorded of "proper modern civilization" were too strong to discard.
Yet most importantly, whatever could do that damage might prove a fun match for him. Yes, to put his life on the line with his life at stake, such was the true purpose of martial arts.
And so the man, the servant, Li Shuwen of the Assassin class, began to sprint off towards Ikebukuro.

Name: Li Shuwen, “Demon Fist Master”, “Divine Spear Li”
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality: A man, a martial artist, and a servant whose desire is devoted to the challenging of formidable and tough enemies. That being said, he is also of the sort who might potentially be considered a “badass” by the general onlooker. He carries no regret or grudges from his past life, though has a sort of loyalty-based fondness for the master whom he was forced to separate from in being brought to “this world”. Related to this he feels a sense of honor to return to his master’s side since their contract was not through, and he quite enjoyed the tough battles he was having on their side to boot.
Prideful, serious, and energetic in battle, to him being able to get to know his opponent and make conversation with them is the ultimate in luxury he feels he could have when it comes to his enemies. Further, to fight on one’s life and face a situation where either side could lose their lives is to him the core of martial arts itself.
If his own sense of rationality, he has no hesitation in aiming to kill them on the spot. This being said, he personally does not see a great difference between the concepts of “good” and “evil”, and he could use his fists for either a good or evil cause as long as it was desirable to him personally.
Brief History: A powerful Chinese martial artist who was famous for needing “no second strike” according to his own skills and boasts. There is an individual in “this” world that corresponds to him, though they are different individuals in that they originate from different worlds. Regardless, his fists killed many in life, making him more like a professional killer than a martial artist in a sense, and in the end his life was cut down and his soul was preserved in the Throne of Heroes. He was also recorded within the records of a machine hidden inside of the moon, called “The Moon Cell Automaton”.
He was eventually summoned/recruited by a certain professional killer who sought to make a brother win a conflict called the “Holy Grail War”. In this conflict he arose under the Assassin class. Then from here he went through issues where he became a Berserker after his master couldn’t accept defeat, and was finally brought to a merciful end. Then upon the end of this conflict, he was recruited again by a certain Roman Emperor to serve in her forces alongside the winner of the war itself who was his (and said emperor’s) master. Having sworn his loyalty to said master, and now disappeared amidst a bad situation whilst fighting for her and that emperor, he desires to return to his world that he may continue his fight.
That being said, to enjoy the thrill of tough fights in this new world could still provide the greatest pleasure for an individual such as himself. At least until he is able to return home to be able to fulfill his contract.
Universe of Origin: Nasuverse, specifically Fate/Extella
Equipment: His carries the clothes he has on his body, but nothing more.
Abilities:
-His skills in Chinese Martial Arts, specifically Bajiquan, are nothing short of a true master, and both unarmed or even with a spear he is nothing short of deadly.
-With his level of martial arts skill, he has also achieved a skilled dubbed “Sphere Boundary”, where by bringing his Qi in line to synchronize with the world he renders himself invisible and imperceptible to others. However, by moving to attack this ability drops in efficiency though his invisibility is still maintained. However, in the absence of any preparation for offensive action, he remains utterly imperceptible even on physical contact.
-As a servant, similar to a certain “Saber”, he is a servant, and thus mundane forms of damage must be incredibly strong in order to even damage him.
-He is also rather strong and agile as well.
-He also boasts an attack called “No Second Strike”, a sum of martial arts skill that became a Noble Phantasm that is the quintessence of his martial arts. A one-shot attack that requires no name to be called or uttered, simply willing to utilize it upon a foe and striking them. Said attack essentially kills targets through “engulfing them with Qi” and causing what in modern times is called “circulatory shock”, skewing the nervous and circulatory systems and things such as the “magic circuits” of his world. Such an attack is capable of killing others servants in one shot, if not cutting their ability to receive magical energy from their master if they survive, and with that in mind it is an attack that should not be underestimated (against viable enemies).
***The above Noble Phantasm has a caveat. It is only used with double confirmation from the GM (PKMN) and VitaVitaAR.***

Sophia von Einzbern
Einzbern Compound, Einzbern Forest, Miyama Southwest
Night 1
Night 1
She had noted her servant' seeming melancholy about not being able to use his lovely castle as a base of operations. A sad thing too, it was a nice place that could've been adorned to her liking and still provided more cover and defensive territory than her current compound. Though this compound, and its bounded field, would very much make do. She had gone over the information on the Matous and Tohsakas and such that could be gathered for the conflict, including a note or two about potential alliances. It had been amusing to ponder over a hot and piping up of Earl Grey tea that she had been brought as she had sat and mulled over the papers in her comfortable chair in the compound's lounge, a goose-feather pillow tucked behind her head for an ease of comfort and tea cakes and cookies on the side table between her and her servant's chairs as she sat. Ah, she could've gone to sleep afterwards if it wasn't for the occasion itself, the darkening sky, and indeed she had a mission to complete.
Telling the maids to ensure the bounded field was strengthened as she had said before, and had sent all but one of her familiars out far before it turned dark to scout the woods and maintain a patrol as she sat in luxury. Even Rider had been requested to maintain a partol of the forest and alert her to the slightest instance of intrusions and such, and indeed beyond his power he seemed like the sort of servant she enjoyed having around as well. Though as paranoid as she maybe seemed in a sense with these defensive measures, she took her primary goal as seriously as she did her hedonistic tendencies and ensuring her favorite tea cakes were able to be produced at a whim by the kitchen maids. Which is to say, very seriously indeed, and she desired victory for this conflict as securely as possible.
Though that word came up again in her mind. Alliances. She had no doubt that, being one of the three founders of this ritual, she would be major target of enemies and anyone who was out to forge alliances with the others. To her it would be natural of the Matou's or Tohsaka's tried to gang up against her somehow, though it made her somewhat lower in mood to think of obliterating Zouken's own flesh and blood to fulfill the Einzbern's most fervent wish. But tis' the life of a mage to deal with such things as they came. However, she needed to make some contact for the sake of making her own connections in this, or at least scouting out things.
To this end, she wrote a couple of letters, handing them to one of her personal familiars, before sending it out with the aim of delivering said letters to a couple of the other familiars she had prowling about already in town, for delivery of course, and then coming back to her. The letters would read something along the lines of "Should you find yourself in need of allies in the face of the Matous and their schemes, i hereby offer alliance with you should you find the need for an ally in this war. Send word to me if you wish to ally".
If they they were desperate enough then they could give her an ally, and vice versa in order to further their own goals in the war, different as they might be in the very end. Though a finale amongst the three families was preferable to useless rabble, though the latter could provide better fodder and an easier time later on. It was a small conundrum of sorts. Simultaneously, she took the time to focus on three other familiars that were outside of the forest to go scout about the Docks/Harbor, Matou Residence (this familiar itself ALSO was carrying the other letter), and the last going to the Fuyuki Outskirts to see what might be around there. And of course one familiar would be headed to the Tohsaka's once it got its letter.
Though as a great crash of impact in the woods shook even the compound floor a good ways away, Sophia sat up abruptly in her chair. Something had impacted her woods, but from the feel of it was far from the compound. Suspicious, and utilizing her magecraft to see through the eyes of her closest in-forest familiar she had deployed she began to move it towards the impact site. At the same time she sent a missive to her servant.
"Something had impacted the woods greatly, likely the work of another servant. Head to the impact site and see what has happened, or if there are any signs of what sort of servant deployed what caused that. I would assume an Archer, but we must be sure," the homunculus said, being to the point and precise in her orders before switching gears slightly, "...ah, and if you so desire dinner is about ready. Servants i do not think need to eat or rest or such, but to deny such a pleasure is beyond me."
That, and keeping that servant of hers closer for the night might bode well in case Assassins or their ilk attempted to strike. Or anyone in general for that matter. The bounded field being in place, and three of her familiars going about, would detect and be able to find any familiars that entered the area. Or any other individuals for that matter. And her servant would be able to handle any servants that could potentially get past things as well, perhaps detect them or such things. However it best woekd out.
Now was the time to switch between familiars over the next while to see what would go on, what she could learn, what she could observe. TGo this end she also called in a maid with a stack of papers and ink and quill. She would need all of this to be jotted down, and writing it down herself would be a bit of a stretch for multi-tasking, unlike any of those Atlas freaks if they were around Fuyuki for this war. Blech. Speaking of which, its wouldn't be unfeasible for Atlas to fund a master all the way over here. A somewhat scary thought, though she herself also had funds. Albeit she didn't have any funds being kept in the local banks, at least, having moved them to the compound alone prior to the war's start. Hah. She wanted to make sure she had her thing close by, just in case other magi got ideas or she needed to purchase things with limited public involvement.

Familiar 1
Docks/Harbor
As the odd bird-like familiar flew over the Dock/Harbor area, it began to pick up some odd things as it observed the area below. Other than the usual view of rats and the usual things that stalked the now-quiet area it spied an odd thing. A badly dressed, young boy who was....what was in that bag? As the familiar perched out of reach and observed from a supposedly safe distance, it observed the behavior of the boy using cats as a means to start clearing rats from the docks. With his method, of course a familiar in the air would be drawn to observe the odd and somewhat abusive use of the cats in this manner. However, to Sophia on the other end, it was all an odd sight that wasn't quite normal, especially with the boy's more European appearance making it glaring that he was not from here at all.
Potentially a servant or a master. Noted. Sophia noted this event and details of the observed character aloud to a maid, one standing near her who was jotting down Sophia's observations at a hectic speed.
However, this same familiar would observe an odd thing as well. The concentration of rats was astonishing to say the least, abnormal on levels that could only suggest the potential presence of a magus or a Caster. This too would be noted. Potentially....was this poorly dressed thing combating another magus' attempts to use rats? Regardless, this place was now of note as a potential enemy location, a place a base could be or such, and where at least one potential servant seemed to be taking actions right now.

Familiar 2
Tohsaka Manor
The second familiar sat a small distance just outside of the bounded field of the Tohsaka estate, upon the lower rung of a tall post for telegraph lines. Sounds from inside could be heard, the clash of something or another at least. Curious, Sophia didn't have the bird enter the bounded field proper. She knew the Tohsaka master would be there, and had the bird wait on its perch. It would be very visible from its position from any window of the western-style estate, and so Sophia hoped the Tohsaka master would have the tact to look outside at some point tonight and see an obvious familiar with a letter visibly waiting.

Familiar 3
Fuyuki Outskirts
Ah. As this familiar continued on observing the activity on the outskirts, near the edge of a clearing seemed to be a line of trees cut down by some force, in a row as if something had been....thrown. The familiar perched a little ways away, using its vision at a distance to look at the scene, observing from the branches as Sophia had the information dictated down about the location. That path seemed to be aimed towards the town itself, and was perhaps not a coincidence of sorts. Regardless, this was the likely location of a workshop in her mind, since only a servant could perhaps cause that much destruction in that distinct of a path, and that would be valuable for later.

Familiar 4
Front Yard, Matou Manor
The final familiar, carrying a letter similar to the one Sophia had dictated for the Matou's, flew into the open and just outside of the Matou bounded field. Observing the yard and house that lie before it, the EInzbern mistress knew this was the place. Question is, would the Matou look and see there was a familiar with a letter waiting for them just barely beyond their boundaries? Her information from before noted that this particular member of the Three Families had some potential alliances in the works. So hopefully the Matou's got the needed letter in good time if they were observant enough.

Night 1
Night 1
Honestly, he wouldn't blame others if they were trying to keep eyes on him as well, though it was not like he wasn't an observant individual in his own right. Some might want to break rules, and getting tabs on him might facilitate that. Yet he also held what could be considered the "sword of Damocles" over the servants' heads in this conflict as was needed, if case masters and/or their servants were thinking of shattering the rules and fiddling with things not to be messed with. He was a judge and executioner, not something he enjoyed but a role he understood and took on with seriousness. And luckily it seemed things were going as planned for now....for the moment.
Of course he had noted with a light grim-ness earlier when he noted the battle that happened briefly back at the temple as well. He had warned those two magi, and now hopefully they would be responsible. That incident, had it put the war in danger of exposure, might have had to force him to intervene. And what was going on in the Tohsaka Manor and in the yard of the Matou's were among the thing he had noted already into the night, though time was short and not long till the true war erupted on the streets, around the outskirts, and in other places. If he needed to act, he would do so without question.
Yet overall in his duties he was not alone, but was one of two Rulers who would be moderating this conflict and its terrible potential consequences that could arise from it. He at least hoped Fuyuki itself wouldn't be annihilated, but if the push came to shove he would put forth the effort to do what was necessary. Ah. That was the signal he had been promised for kicking off the war, those colorful streaks in the sky almost like a rainbow. Though their location of impact was at least out of civilian territory, though a certain master would likely not be happy with the results. Magi and their territorial nature, no better than lions fighting over dominance in the savannah.
It was time for the Grail War to commence, however, and he stood by, waiting. Observing the events that would unfold tonight.
@demonspade64@Jangel13@Kheliop@ReusableSword I have posted! Yay! \o/
I had some stuff i had to work with, and a shift at work yesterday, so sorry for the slowness. I have work tomorrow, but i hope to get a post out before that if my turn comes around again fast enough. XD
Regardless, Nyma is happy to go hunt with the others! *insert group spider killing montage here* >:D

Nyma
Day 5: Morning
Nymna listened to the pale goblin's response, she nodded a few times in affirmation as the large Hobgoblin explained things and tossed her the bracelet. She took it and put it on as she listened, at first looking mildly shocked as her vision changed into the sort of things Luz was seeing. Was this maybe a tool for perception of the soul? That was the first thought that came to her mind as she considered who this gift was from, and what the goddess presided over. It seemed logical enough a guess, anywho, until or unless hard answers were garnered at some point if the goddess desired to answer such questions. Whatever the case, Nyma continued to listen, once in a while adjusting the spider corpse being carried on her back.
So having dedicated her kill to the goddess with this guy around....fufufu, the strength from each kill would only be even greater for her and the others! A most welcome thing, and she felt in a better mood with that in mind. A small wry smile again came to her face as she continued to listen to Gird and Luz's rules for hunting and such things, the idea of hunting with fellow worshippers being appealing to her, though she was also surprisingly glad Barth wanted to come along regardless of not wanting to partake in Duvelna worship. He'd been compliant, yes, but beyond that he'd been helpful, testing of the situation with the spider and overall useful to the aim of killing their opponent. Plus she felt a small soft side for the happy doofus who seemed to love risks, whom she'd been working with so far, though she dared not tell him that.
Still, she could use a similar stance as the spider (as she had in this fight) for future hunting experiences, as a measure to attack or defend in good measure. Even pounce better onto prey if needed, for that matter.
She also payed some attention to what the other Hobgoblin said as well, before giving a light but subtle chuckle.
"Yeah, i'm Nyma, and honestly i'm glad the goddess heard my prayer to her and sent you two this direction. Honestly, on seeing Gird here walk up, and not instantly go for our throats, i had some suspicions about the matter of if you two were enemies or not, or perhaps i took a gamble like Barth here," she said to Luz in honesty but also her usual blunt manner, somewhat amused by Luz's own somewhat obvious attempt to get Gird's attention on a personal note. Not hard to potentially see the bit of feelings at least that one of those two hobgoblins maybe had anyways.
But she then looked to Gird, before speaking once more with some added gusto then before.
"I can agree to those rules without issues. I'd be glad to join the hunt for more spiders, and we can see how useful the venom is as well later. Maybe see if that could be used against bigger game in time. Ah....but yeah, i'm ready to go right now, but Barth needs his spear back, or at least something to use while we are out killing spiders anyways."
If nothing else maybe Barth could find a decent branch and do something like put web on the end to stick it to enemies. Or something to compensate if his spear was somehow truly lost for the time being.

@PKMNB0Y
Name: Li Shuwen, “Demon Fist Master”, “Divine Spear Li”
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality: A man, a martial artist, and a servant whose desire is devoted to the challenging of formidable and tough enemies. That being said, he is also of the sort who might potentially be considered a “badass” by the general onlooker. He carries no regret or grudges from his past life, though has a sort of loyalty-based fondness for the master whom he was forced to separate from in being brought to “this world”. Related to this he feels a sense of honor to return to his master’s side since their contract was not through, and he quite enjoyed the tough battles he was having on their side to boot.
Prideful, serious, and energetic in battle, to him being able to get to know his opponent and make conversation with them is the ultimate in luxury he feels he could have when it comes to his enemies. Further, to fight on one’s life and face a situation where either side could lose their lives is to him the core of martial arts itself.
If his own sense of rationality, he has no hesitation in aiming to kill them on the spot. This being said, he personally does not see a great difference between the concepts of “good” and “evil”, and he could use his fists for either a good or evil cause as long as it was desirable to him personally.
Brief History: A powerful Chinese martial artist who was famous for needing “no second strike” according to his own skills and boasts. There is an individual in “this” world that corresponds to him, though they are different individuals in that they originate from different worlds. Regardless, his fists killed many in life, making him more like a professional killer than a martial artist in a sense, and in the end his life was cut down and his soul was preserved in the Throne of Heroes. He was also recorded within the records of a machine hidden inside of the moon, called “The Moon Cell Automaton”.
He was eventually summoned/recruited by a certain professional killer who sought to make a brother win a conflict called the “Holy Grail War”. In this conflict he arose under the Assassin class. Then from here he went through issues where he became a Berserker after his master couldn’t accept defeat, and was finally brought to a merciful end. Then upon the end of this conflict, he was recruited again by a certain Roman Emperor to serve in her forces alongside the winner of the war itself who was his (and said emperor’s) master. Having sworn his loyalty to said master, and now disappeared amidst a bad situation whilst fighting for her and that emperor, he desires to return to his world that he may continue his fight.
That being said, to enjoy the thrill of tough fights in this new world could still provide the greatest pleasure for an individual such as himself. At least until he is able to return home to be able to fulfill his contract.
Universe of Origin: Nasuverse, specifically Fate/Extella
Equipment: His carries the clothes he has on his body, but nothing more.
Abilities:
-His skills in Chinese Martial Arts, specifically Bajiquan, are nothing short of a true master, and both unarmed or even with a spear he is nothing short of deadly.
-With his level of martial arts skill, he has also achieved a skilled dubbed “Sphere Boundary”, where by bringing his Qi in line to synchronize with the world he renders himself invisible and imperceptible to others. However, by moving to attack this ability drops in efficiency though his invisibility is still maintained. However, in the absence of any preparation for offensive action, he remains utterly imperceptible even on physical contact.
-As a servant, similar to a certain “Saber”, he is a servant, and thus mundane forms of damage must be incredibly strong in order to even damage him.
-He is also rather strong and agile as well.
-He also boasts an attack called “No Second Strike”, a sum of martial arts skill that became a Noble Phantasm that is the quintessence of his martial arts. A one-shot attack that requires no name to be called or uttered, simply willing to utilize it upon a foe and striking them. Said attack essentially kills targets through “engulfing them with Qi” and causing what in modern times is called “circulatory shock”, skewing the nervous and circulatory systems and things such as the “magic circuits” of his world. Such an attack is capable of killing others servants in one shot, if not cutting their ability to receive magical energy from their master if they survive, and with that in mind it is an attack that should not be underestimated (against viable enemies).
Other: (none)

@Jangel13 Ah, speaking of killing things, how much EXP did Nyma and Barth get for the spider kill? XD
Nyma tried to dedicate the kill to Duvelna, so not sure if that worked unless Gird was close enough or such.
But still, i am curious. :P
