I've got this obsession of having all the statuses on my profile page with more than 2 likes. I know that when the wailing winds of darkness come for me, these thumbs up will keep them away!

<Snipped quote by Kaithas>
May I have Caster?
I originally wanted to play a Caster but the spots got eaten up really fast lol.
Sure, go ahead XD I'm still holding out for the other positions but, as made painfully obvious by Thomas Joren, my understanding of the magic system is limited to what I've seen from Fate/Zero and read online. Cannae pull off a mage on the level of a caster.
That being said, you've gotta make me proud. Another RPG I was in had Robin from Fire Emblem as their caster. And that made me sad. And I don't like it when I'm sad.
I'll go Caster if no one else wants it... I'd rather have Archer or Gunner, though, if we decide to do something like add move Colt to a Gunner class/introduce one.
Thomas Joren: Servantless, in my case. Be more than happy to pick somebody up XD
"I don't hold anything back."
Name: Thomas Joren, the Paper Mage
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Servant: … Hmm, we’ll see how this goes.
Powers/Abilities: A rather unorthodox mage, Joren is almost entirely dependent on two, simple resources for his magecraft: A writing utensil, and paper.
Remember the Name:
By writing a person or Servant’s name on a piece of paper, Joren can read their abilities and a few of their personal details. The amount of the name he has changes his power–a full name lets him see every ability, but just a first or last name gives him around half.
Words of Power:
By far his most useful ability, Joren is capable of writing a word on paper and summoning an item with it. Most have to be simple, or writing the description takes too long to be of use. This is how he does basic mage abilities like fireballs and the like: by describing them on a sheet of paper, then triggering the enchantment when necessary.
Bloodcasting:
In a pinch, Joren is capable of using his own blood as the material for writing his spells and as a source of mana. Such an effort, however, will cost him a huge amount of energy and will possibly kill him–so he’d much rather not use it. He can use the blood of others as well, though he must do it by physical contact with the fluid in question and he’s sworn to never use it.
Appearance:
Personality: Thomas Joren’s entire “thing” is caution, but complete and utter committal once he has decided on a course of action. He’s slow to make a decision, but once he begins he’s as unstoppable as a steam train going out of control. This often leaves him in a weakened position if he has to fight multiple enemies in a row as he’ll exhaust himself in attempts to utterly obliterate the first, but he’s careful to not get in over his head, and always seeks a less… Exhausting way to deal with them, ordinarily by trying to talk them down. He was probably picked for the grail war due to a desire for greater power that borders on an insatiable hunger.
Short Biography: Thomas Joren has a relatively ordinary heritage. He isn’t descended from any inordinately skilled mages and isn’t a member of a powerful family. His childhood was fairly ordinary for a magus, though the desire for power that marks him to this day arose early. He used paper as an early focusing medium for spells and his magic developed along those lines, granting him the power he so desired at the price of the flexibility other types of magecraft allow. Still, he was good enough at it to gain a teaching position at the University, becoming the instructor of Ritual Studies.
Other: Joren always carries a pen behind his ear, multiple ink cartridges, and two pads of notecards in his pockets.

@TwilightDragon I read the rules and mind blanked on that one. Put a catchphrase in. Good to go now?
I'd honestly suggest Hikou. Seems to know his stuff.
That being said, you need to establish a few policies before you give a set of reigns to another person no matter who they are XD Like... If we can actually do things that aren't explicitly done in canon or not.

I had a long post response typed up, but it got lost in transit and my backup got corrupted (yay phone battery problems). I neither have the time (yay school) nor the energy to recreate it (yay sickness) so I'll just state that I'm reworking the profile. Will probably scrap most of it to be honest, and just start from scratch.
Was hoping to not have to do tremendous amounts of research to be able to participate in this since I don't have a large amount of time. Not terribly happy with Joren, though, so a rework might be a good thing.
That being said, if TwilightDragon says he's okay I'll probably go with him as he stands because my plague makes me lazy XD

Words of power will literally kill him if he tries to pull off anything large or extremely complicated. I can change how the ability works, I suppose. The way I think of it is like a summoning circle, but instead of, I dunno, summoning something as powerful as a magic servant from the depths of history he can use it to create simple objects by describing them. The paper is consumed in the construction and it will take matter from the area around it, I'll add that too. Rune magic exists in the Fate world, and this is honestly just rune magic that uses English (or whatever language our characters are ostensibly speaking) instead of ancient symbols in the case of the fireball spell. Easier, yes, maybe. Limited to paper instead of being able to just draw the symbol from a distance? Yes.
As for the name thing, he cannot just write a name like "Saber" down and get anything off of it. He has to write the full real name of the person in question, and he can't magically tell what it is–it has to be told to him. The information will appear on the sheet of paper where the name is written. His incantations are in the form of writing, which allows him to focus his efforts without quite as long a process as a long spell. It's a shortcut, but it also makes him dependent on the time and materials to write whatever it is he's trying to do down.
I will change Bloodcasting, I was unclear on that aspect of the system.
