YankeeSaw there was a spot free, so I'm putting my hat in the ring.
Name: Archer Emiya
Game Origin: Fate/Stay Night
Appearance:
Personality: Emiya was once someone who believed he could save everyone if he simply tried hard enough. His life was guided by the simple idea that the world needed heroes willing to put others before themselves. However, that mindset betrayed him time and again, ultimately resulting in the pessimistic and tortured person that he inevitably became. Unable to escape the purgatory that he had created for himself, he fought on as a killing machine. Existing as a timeless being, Emiya has had an unchecked amount of time to think about his misguided ideals and where they brought him. As a result he has resentment for himself more than anyone.
Despite wearing a stern face when matters concern himself, he can be rather playful and even lighthearted around others. When he isn't forced into combat and is leisurely passing time with company he enjoys, he is relaxed and smug. There is very little that affects him emotionally, and thus doesn't take insults or outbursts personally. At times he may even come across as arrogant, but such an attitude is merely his way of having fun and provoking an entertaining reaction from a person he enjoys being around. He would never admit it, but he also has personal enjoyment towards chores and cooking.
Background: Emiya is a Counter Guardian: a spirit who has long since passed on in their mortal life, eternally summoned to fight against extinction-level threats whenever the world calls upon them. Among them, Emiya is the most cynical and one of the most experienced. As he is a spirit materialized across time to fight for humanity, he would have been summoned to fight against Galeem and failed in his initial encounter against Galeem's attack. Turned into a wandering spirit and then revived once more, his eyes are still set firmly on ending the overwhelming threat he was tasked to fight against.

Specialty: All-rounder
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10
Powers:
- Projection - Emiya can create weapons that he has seen before using magic as long as it follows two conditions: that the weapon was made by a mortal, and that it is a melee weapon capable of cutting (swords, daggers, spears, axes, etc.) with the exception of his trademark bow. Once he has seen a weapon and created it, it's stored in his memory for future use. Starting off, he can only create Kanshou and Bakuya, dual short swords that can be thrown and returned to him like boomerangs, as well as his bow and arrows. He must learn to create other weapons through RP. Weapons made through Emiya's magic are nearly perfect replicas, maintaining the structure and special abilities of weapons he creates; however, their durability is lacking and creations break after a few clashes as a result. Any special abilities from created weapons are also not as powerful as their original versions, with the exception of Excalibur from the Arthurian legend, which retains its original power.
Strengths:
- Faker - Whenever a melee weapon is placed into Emiya's hand, he temporarily gains the proficiency and expertise of the weapon's creator or most well known wielder, if they are more proficient with it than Emiya himself.
- Speed - Though not able to keep up with any hedgehogs that might exist within the World of Light, Emiya's speed surpasses that of humans by allowing currents of mana to push him in his direction of choice. With this he can easily close or increase gaps with enemies and allies alike. Alongside this, his reaction and striking speeds are also heightened - more as a result of combat experience and training rather than anything else, however.
- Perceptive - Emiya's ability to perceive the world is supernatural, particularly his eyesight. With concentration, his ability to see long distances is equivalent to the scope of a sniper rifle.
Weaknesses:
- Fake - With his ability to copy others comes a price: his lack of original power. His strength relies on those around him being powerful, and even then he's unable to match the original strength of those he copies from. In that respect it could be said that there's not a single thing that is Emiya's own.
- Opportunistic - It is possible for Emiya to be swayed by others in positions of power. If pushed, he prefers to side with the team that has the highest chance of winning that simultaneously furthers his own goals. This could even go far enough to result in his alliance with villainous masterminds, if he believed them to be more competent than his current allies. Emiya can just as quickly betray even that alliance, however, resulting in somebody that many would consider to be untrustworthy.
- Self-hatred - Emiya can be emotionally intelligent when dealing with others, but becomes completely clueless when dealing with his own thoughts and feelings. All he knows is his own regrets, but doesn't know how to properly deal with them. As a result he often turns into a mass of self-hate, brimming over but not knowing how to release it. This could cause him to lose focus in battle depending on the circumstances, or even lash out at allies.
- Cautious - Emiya is cautious to a fault. He is slow to take risks and would rather be the last one in a fight to tip off his full hand even under dire circumstances. Due to this, he can often be seen as weaker than he is due to his own reluctance to take risks and accidentally expose an opening.
Spirits: -
Kindred Spirits:
- Saber - Saber, her true name Arturia Pendragon, is a knight bound by honor to protect the weak and seek the Holy Grail: a magical wish granting device. Their relationship is rocky at best, possessing a mutual respect for one another but little further than that.
- Rin Tohsaka - Former allies in the Holy Grail War, Rin formed a pact with Emiya to win as master and servant. Things grew more complicated as they fought, but ultimately they prevailed. Due to amnesia, however, Emiya can't quite remember the complications that arose during their war.
- Gilgamesh - Known as the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh is a threat to humanity on a massive scale. Regarded as among the most powerful beings in existence due to his possession of Ea, the Sword of Rupture, he was defeated during the Holy Grail War. Despite his power, his fatal flaw is his arrogance and inability to call upon Ea against anybody he sees unfit to see it - Emiya himself being one of the top considered unworthy of it. If Emiya were to encounter him, he would have no choice but to engage him.
Inventory:
- Kanshou and Bakuya - Twin yin-yang short swords with faint magical energy. Emiya's signature weapons and his most commonly projected tools of battle. They have the ability to be thrown and returned to their wielder like boomerangs, and are naturally attracted to each other such that they may also circle and enclose around an opponent if thrown the correct way. When both are wielded in Emiya's hands at the same time, they also grant a small amount of magic resistance.
- Bow - A black bow made from a sturdy yet unknown material that is wood-like in texture and design. Using this bow, Emiya can fire magically-enhanced arrows conjured using Projection.
