@Raijin: Eternal Arms Mastership E wut. Also, FSG is sealed in Mad Enhancement outside of Command Sealing, and Arondight also seals KoH.
@Kitsune: Morgan is free, and, since we're definitely lacking in Lancers (and Archers and Assassins), I have a Hector in the works.

[Kaname Housen, Basement/Worm Pit, Matou Household]
It took a bit of time, but after several birds, a few precise angle measurements, and some pushing back of collapsed worm piles, Kaname finally finished throwing together his little summoning array.
But did he really have to do this? He was only participating because he was told to, after all. There was still a chance to back down and not risk his life. But he'd learned his lesson already.
And that meant he had to say the words.
"Silver and iron to the origin.
Gem and the archduke of pacts to the foundation.
Let the descending winds become a wall.
Let the gates in four directions close, rising above the crown, and let the three-forked road leading to the kingdom rotate.
Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill).
Five perfections for each repetition.
And now, let the filled sigils be annihilated in my stead!
—Set.
Let thy body rest under my dominion, let my fate (doom) rest in thy blade.
If thou submittest to the call of the Holy Grail and if thou wilt obey this will and reason, then answer my summoning!
—I make my oath here.
I am the person who is to become the virtue of all Heaven.
I am that person who is covered with the evil of all Hades.
Thou seven heavens, clad in a trinity of words,
come past thy restraining rings,
O keeper of the balance—!”
His hand was thrust out, back of the palm burning as his bruise became a three-part Seal. Light and wind coursed around the summoning circle, illuminating the basement and sending crusty worm skins everywhere.
And at the apex, the room went white.

[Kaname Housen, Basement/Worm Pit, Matou Household]
If there was one thing that Kaname thought he'd never experience in the battle known as the "Holy Grail War" he was assigned to win, it was clean out worm carcasses from a missing magi family's basement. Nevertheless, he still had to do it to get anything done and over with, and after doing so, he wanted to set his skin on fire. He wouldn't do it, of course. He lacked the immediate means to do so, even if he wanted to. Besides, he had better things to do. Like actually set up the ritual he'd went through that sickening experience for.
Kaname set down Puppet-chan's suitcase on a clear patch of floor and dropped the bag held in his left beside it. The teen magus looked between the cleared off floor and the bag of dubious contents before nodding to himself. It looked to be a good enough size for the circle. He then unzipped the bag and removed a ragdoll-esque dead bird, one of several, by it's neck.
He used his free hand to remove his cell phone and check the picture he had taken of the summoning circle. Sure, he... sort of... studied it beforehand, but it was always good to have a visual on hand.
Right then, back to the circle.

Yeah, sure.
Meanwhile, here's a Servant that I may or not get flak for.
I'll admit Mind of Steel!Mental Pollution is a bit weird, though.

Well this was certainly an... interesting household that the Matous had. Very western. Lots of cylinders. Lots of dead worm carcasses that crunched when you stepped on them. Especially in the basement.
Now, empty, uncarpeted basements were usually just creepy all around, but this one was big and was definitely lacking in artificial lighting fixtures. Not to mention the sizable pile of dead worms in the middle. How deep was that, anyway? Now that he thought about it, it was more like a dungeon than a basement, huh?
More crunching noises. Jeez, ignoring these dead worms everywhere was tough. He'd definitely have to clean, set fire to, or abandon this house if he had the time.
Kaname walked down the staircase leading to the bottom of the not-dungeon, footsteps (and the resulting crunching of dried, shrivelled worms being stepped on) echoing through the pit. Maybe one of the other places would've been better to set up, like the temple perhaps. Definitely would have been less creepy, if more swarming with other potential participants instead of dead insects. Well 'swarm' was probably an exaggeration, but other magi would surely be there and his skills were probably not as suited as theirs for a direct attack on his own. Hence why he had the suitcase on his right swinging jauntily at his side with every step.
Kaname made it to the bottom, stepped into some dried-up invertebrates, and sank.
'EWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwww!!!'
The pile of shrivelled parasites was about as deep as a kiddie pool, and pretty much covered the entirety of the basement-dungeon's floor. Which meant that to get anything done, he'd have to push aside about one or two feet worth of worms across a decently sized area of floor.
And he didn't have gloves.
Isn't it sad, Kaname?

Name(s): Kaname Housen
Gender: Frustratingly androgynous Male
Age: 18
Birthday: April 16
Personality: An unpleasant sort of likable human being. He has a very flexible moral moral code and the uncanny ability to think of a justification for everything. It's not out of malice though, he does it because he can and it's convenient to. That said, it could be a lack of empathy since there's definitely some kind of disconnect going on. He is extremely persistent in that 'childlike enthusiasm' sort of way and doesn't have a great deal of tact, often coming off more rude than he intends. That said, he's not all too good at speaking in the first place and seems to have an all around 'tense' feeling to him.
Strangely enough, his personality is rather different when controlling Puppet-chan. Almost as if he's given her an identity of her own.
Appearance: Wears clothes better suited for a walk around town, of course.
Biography and Family History: The Housen family is one that spans back six generations. They're a fairly independent line, with only a minimum connection to the Mage's Association and it's politics and traditions (read: they take their money, purchase resources, and maintain the masquerade). The family is oriented towards Earth magecraft, and their choice specialty lies in producing humanoid puppets. They got their start when their first head's childhood friend decided to teach her a thing or two about magecraft, and it was decided that familiars would be the way to go. Unfortunately she lacked the stomach for animal familiars and opted for puppets instead. Five more generations later and then you had Kaname.
Over the years the family's become an isolated batch, keeping outside contact with the mundane world to what they could manage on trips to the store, from the comfort of their home, or what is mandated by the government. They'd also become a bit... crazy. Definitely control freak-esque, for what else would you call cutting your 7-year old son's arm off to prove to him that puppets were superior because he got tired of making puppets, and had the gall to ask: "Why do we have to keep making stupid puppets? Can't we do something else?" Though they did, technically, do something else, Kaname rather liked that arm. But at least his father was 'nice' enough to replace it with a prosthesis, and he did leave with a valuable lesson: don't be insubordinate to your elders in this family or the next one will be ten times worse, you little shit.
That incident aside, there wasn't much else to speak of. His childhood was spent mostly learning magecraft and martial arts, and skipping a good deal of school under the pretense of illness. His family was very strict, controlling pretty much every move like he was a puppet on a string (eheh), but not any more abusive than the arm incident of '94. They did once dress him up as a girl to mock him though, but that kind of backfired. Then the Grail War rolls around again, and they force Kaname to participate on their family's behalf, a wish already decided by his betters for him to grant.

Team Snake in My Pants is now a go.
The RP isn't fun if everyone else is just trying to get a post out because they feel obligated to. If everyone feels like letting it die, let it die.
However, that isn't to say I wouldn't like it up and running again. Because I do. But I will allow it's departure because I care about all of you. ;-;
Except you, Vari, you made the death formal <3

I'm cancelling my Lancer. Apparently making a servant takes time and effort. :p I did what I'm good at.Also on the "disrupting" part, I need your help on that one Gnar, I was thinking of making the arrows like Kiritsugu's but I don't think I should.
Well, Kerry's Origin Bullets are because his Origin of Severing and Binding is pretty much perfectly suited to screwing over Circuits. Though that's a permanent disruption. There is a temporary disruption magecraft (Counter Magic IIRC?) though, but I think you need it to hit the magus exclusively. I'm not 100% sure on that front.

Okay, my Master has been fixed and i just finished my first beast servant. Can someone please give me some feed back on my Servants, as I have no idea if they are good or not. Also, helping me Rank my skills and Noble Phantasms(if they're acceptable) would be much appreciated.
Alrighty then.
@Solomon: Magic Resistance is not a Caster-class Skill, they're Territory and Item Construction. END/AGI are... Really high for Caster-class (But Caster base AGI is C, so maybe B could pass though that's rather high in and of itself). Demons and demonic possession in Nasuverse don't work like that, and I'm not sure angels are even a thing (unless you count V/V who looks like an angel but is actually just the Ultimate One of Venus). And Knowledge of Respect and Harmony? I know he was given wisdom from God, but I think that'd more correspond to Revelation more than anything.
@Nidhogg: Okay, so don't know much about the Beast class, but I'm definitely sure Nidhogg has no justification for Independent Action of that rank, especially in a class without IA as a skill. Plus, I think Niddhogg is still alive and thus ineligible for being a Servant? I 'unno how Gnar wants to treat that. Speaking of which, Nidhogg is a dragon right? That should mean he gets Prana Burst and Magic Resistance A as personal skills due to the whole 'dragons are living prana furnaces that breathe prana' thing. Also, those Personal Skills seem like less skills and more NPs with their absurdity. 'Biting through most mystic bindings' and 'nigh incurable curse breath/bite' just seem really powerful for something he can do even outside full Nidhogg form. Also, chaos magic? What's that?
No comment on NPs yet, since they seem to be WIP.
I believe I mentioned I was tentatively interested in the Skype chat, but I'll show up to pitch in~
Ah, my bad then. I was looking at your NP effects as Rank Up boosts instead of temporary boosts.
