Name: Michel Hahne
Sex: Male
Alignment: Chaotic BalancedWhen the nameless child was found washed up on the riverside one moonless night, the local police thought they’d encountered a ghost. They could find no trace of him in their records, no evidence on the scene that might point towards his origins, and none of their efforts to communicate yielded a single word from the pale and wide-eyed boy. Unnerved and confused, they hastily arranged for him to be taken in by a nearby orphanage, not wanting to keep him around any longer than strictly necessary.
It was easy to see why. The child was odd, never speaking or engaging with others but always staring at them wide-eyed with a deep and ravenous curiosity. He didn’t listen to directions or follow anyone’s schedule, but only wandered wherever he wanted, sometimes showing up behind locked doors or in places that should have been too high for him to reach. Most of the staff wanted nothing at all to do with him, but one particularly dedicated worker took it upon himself to try and speak to the boy, persisting until ‘Michel’ finally learned to repeat and reply. Now that a line of communication had been established, it was only a matter of time until he began to integrate with the other children, though strange happenings would persist around him for several years after that.
By the time he was finally placed with a foster family, he seemed almost like an ordinary boy. Sure, he had his head in the clouds half the time, and didn’t seem at all motivated by the concerns that drove the people around him, and often caused great offense with his incredibly blunt manner of speaking… But altogether he was able to live a simple life, going to school every day with his peers and struggling with his studies just like everyone else. He often wondered about his origins, and the half-remembered images of the distant past, but was never able to find any hints that could lead him closer to the truth.
If it hadn’t been for Chaldea, that might have been the end of it. He could have lived a simple life, barely knowing anything of magi or the Clock Tower or any of that. However, when an agent of the organization scouting for Master candidates happened upon an old rumor about a boy washed up on the riverside, they decided to investigate further. What they found was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed: a natural-born prodigy, someone whose inner energy was connected with the outside world such that his entire body formed a single, unified magic circuit. Not a mage, but rather the kind of person who could create Mystics just by existing, often without even being aware of it.
Normally such individuals were quickly snatched up by Eastern magecraft organizations, but Michel had been missed, blending into the local population without ever understanding or harnessing his potential. Jumping at the chance, the recruiter immediately offered him a position, and Michel, realizing that this might be his best chance at ever finding answer, willingly boarded the aircraft that would whisk him away to a hidden facility in Antarctica.Magecraft
Magic Circuits Quality: EX
Magic Circuits Quantity: E
Magical Affinity: Water
Attribute: Breathing and WalkingMinor Magecraft
- Breathing in Water
- “Drowning? I’ve never really understood why people worry about that. Do they hold their breath because they’re scared?”
To him, there is no difference between breathing while submerged and while aboveground. The ‘method’ is the same either way.
Charges: No limit
- Walking on Water
- Put one foot in front of the other, and stride across the surface. What would be considered a divine miracle by some is just as easy as breathing for Michel.
Charges: No limit
- Connection to the World
- He naturally absorbs the ambient mana around him, and his physical fitness and stamina are abnormally high because of this. The higher the density of magical energy in the environment, the more capable he becomes.
Charges: No limitMajor Magecraft
- Walking Through Spaces
- To step out of one place and into another, without regard for the distances or barriers in between. With enough training, it’s even possible to reach the Reverse Side of the world. In Michel’s case, he’s still a novice in this area.
Charges: 10/Singularity
- Painting the Surface
- By drawing upon images from within himself, he can bring out parts of his mental landscape to overwrite the world around him. It’s nowhere near the scale of a full Reality Marble, but more like a small patchwork—a fragment of terrain the size of a building at most, and often just a few square meters. The exact form of it differs each time and depends on Michel’s current state of mind, meaning he can never be quite sure what will come out.
Charges: 5/Singularity
- Speaking the World's Words
- The ability to communicate with Spirits, absent any special methods. He can speak with everything from Wraiths to Nature Spirits to Gods and Elementals that have not incarnated in a physical body, though he typically needs to be aware of their presence first, and there is never any guarantee that they will agree or cooperate with him.
Charges: 10/Singularity
- Cleansing the Soul
- With just a touch, he can purify malign influences from a person or a place. Mostly this includes mind-altering effects such as Charms or magical sleep, but it can also extend to greater ‘impurities,’ such as recurring nightmares or evil spirits. With its full potential, it becomes possible to destroy ancient grudges completely, or cleanse a Servant that has been blackened by the mud of a corrupted Grail.
Charges: 5/SingularityPrimary Mystic Code:Mystic Code: Chaldea
The standard Mystic Code available to active Master Candidates at Chaldea. It’s a uniform that allows even those untrained in Magecraft to use basic abilities such as Healing and Reinforcement.Non-Magecraft Abilities
- The Perfect Method for Breathing and Walking
- The key to all of the abilities listed above, but not a Mystic in and of itself. Michel is simply able to control his own breathing and move without any waste of energy, making him a natural talent in technique-based physical activities such as archery and martial arts.
- Drawing and Painting
- He studied art in school. One wouldn’t call him a genius, but his skills are definitely above-average for his age.
- Cooking and Baking
- These techniques fascinate him, and as one might expect he can easily learn to handle any kind of exotic utensil. The problem is… His tastes are a bit… Well, he gets a little overexcited sometimes.
Basics
Class: Lancer
True Name: Fu Hao
Master: Michel Hahne
Sex: Female
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Attribute: ManAn ancient warrior-priestess who led armies across China in the Age of Gods. Coming from a small and nameless tribe, she became one of many wives to the powerful Shang king Wu Ding in order to secure a future for her people. The king had many wives from political alliances, and could hardly show dedication to them all, but Fu Hao’s ambition would not allow her to languish in obscurity. By consulting with ancestral deities through oracle bones, she was granted visions of events to come, and used this knowledge to oversee bountiful harvests and repeatedly offer immense tributes to the Shang. Before long, Wu Ding singled her out as one of his most favored consorts, and elevated her to the position of both high priestess and military commander.
For many, her rise to power was proof enough of her worth, but to Fu Hao it was only the beginning. With more than ten thousand soldiers under her command, she took to the field and obliterated the Tu-Fang in a single battle, instantly putting an end to a conflict that raged for generations before her. Now the most powerful general of the Shang, she proceeded to beat down neighboring kingdoms one after another, refining her tactics along the way and perfecting the art of the ambush on an unprecedented scale. To the king, she remained a trusted advisor and uniquely talented shamaness, overseeing the most important rituals and securing the aid of gods and ancestors alike for her nation.
Yet unfortunately for the Shang, her legend would not last forever. Exhausted by repeated wars and heartbroken by the death of her only son, she proved unable to resist when sickness came for her and stole her away from her king. After her death, sixteen human slaves were sacrificed to honor her burial site, which was built not in the royal cemetery but on the same lands she had so carefully cultivated during her rise to power. In the years that followed, her tomb would become a place of prayer, where Wu Ding and his future lineage came to seek her advice and blessings in their wars against the enemies of the Shang. The dynasty would later fall, and future lineages embraced new philosophies that downplayed and dismissed the role of women in war, but even so her name would be remembered for thousands of years as a warrior without equal in her time.Parameters

Mana B
Luck DClass Skills
- Magic Resistance A
- Cancels spells of A-rank or below, making her virtually untouchable to any modern magus. The high rank comes from her position as the preeminent shamaness of an entire kingdom from the Age of Gods: generations of ancestral spirits stand ready to protect her from any magical assault.
Personal Skills
- Collector C
- A skill given to those who gather and seek out all manner of treasures. During her life, Fu Hao sought out artifacts from dynasties even more ancient than her own, so that she could better understand and communicate with the ancestral spirits. Allows the user to identify items of unique note or potency, such as distinguishing a Noble Phantasm from an ordinary weapon with a mere glance.
- Oracle of the Shang C
- The ability to predict and calculate possible futures through the use of oracle bones. This does not grant perfect foresight, only fleeting visions that she interprets to identify threats and opportunities lying in wait. Due to her not being summoned in the Caster class, the rank of this skill is lowered from its original level.
- Charisma B
- The skill to command an army and maximize the abilities of allies in group battles. Fu Hao led armies from the front and worked hard to raise the morale of her soldiers, while her role as a priestess made her an influential political figure.
- Tactics B+
- Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized, granting a bonus to one’s own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm and a resistance against those of the enemy. This skill gains an additional modifier when launching a surprise attack against enemies who have been lured into a trap.
Noble Phantasm:
Fù Hǎo Mù: Memorial Temple of the War Goddess
Rank A
“Even in death, they still won’t leave me alone… Well, I suppose I can make the effort just this once. Fù Hǎo Mù! Come to my side, and I will lead you to victory once more!”
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-2
Effect:
The tomb where she was buried and the edifice that once existed above it, sublimated as a Noble Phantasm. Fu Hao was laid to rest among hundreds of weapons and artifacts, treasures that represented all her greatest achievements in life, and which would carry her memory through untold ages long after she had turned to dust. As a Servant, she can draw on any of these items at any time, producing varied weapons, magical artifacts, and divination materials at a moment’s notice. Once per Singularity, she can release its True Name and call upon the full force of the magical energy stored within, bringing out her entire collection and merging it into the form of a gigantic warrior that shadows her movements in battle.
I will look at this after I get off work, and have a written up thing ASAP.
