Acute Vennschneizen
Gender: Female
Age: 8 years old
Height/Weight: 4'9 ft / 91 lbs
Birthplace: Augsburg, Germany
Character
Like all other homunculi, Acute lacks something that perceives herself as a human being. While her height cannot be argued since it is that of a child, her endowments are something out of that age range and into an older tier. Despite her chest getting in the way, it doesn't bother her too much when fighting. Acute, like the name, embodies how intensive and direct this person is. She will close each gap and end each problem with a direct statement without regard of the recepients' feelings in mind. This is yet another thing she lacks, a moral high ground for herself, she truly believes that whatever her "Papa" (The Father Dollmaker) says to her is the right thing to do and if she does them, she gains praise.
Like an eight year old, Acute does not know any better than what she already knew under the care of her "Papa" however, it is not impossible for her to learn something new.
Acute Vennschneizen is a close combat homunculus equipped with the right magecraft to do so. She is a danger in the field and will not hesitate to chase a certain target should she deem it easy prey and to her enemies, everything is easy prey, that includes her competition. Masters would need to have be much more diplomatic around her as she is quite hard to negotiate with, what with her thinking of punching and kicking things being relevant to what her "Papa" made her to do. Nothing more than a combat maid.
Ah right... she does maid work as well.
Background
Idea ProjectedGeoffrey Vennschneizen was a quiet man with a Crest that he made for himself when he decided to marry another Crest-less magus and have an heir together. Although it is when the heir was born did the problems begin to amass. Having decided to show their daughter what he had been perfecting, the risk of danger grows greater, constantly their house would face problems from experimentation until it burned down with the girl in it. His wife, distraught, left him in front of the burning building with nothing more he could do. What's worse to a magus father? He passed the Crest onto her and she was their first and last heir.
From this grief and the regret that followed as the days go by, Geoffrey turned to the creation of homunculi, using various formulae and methods of creation his past few attempts failed. Creating life wasn't as easy as how the Einzberns make it but it did not stop him from creating an imitation of his only daughter. The Association caught wind of this and sent a magus of an impressionable family line to hunt him down for such a crime.
Of course, when the magus arrived, Geoffrey explained his ordeal with the forbidden practice of creating life. Finding this intriguing, they struck a deal, a contract if you wish. While this Noble magus missed the chance for an opportunity to take the Holy Grail out of Rome as was stated by the Association's main goal. He decided to let him continue his project by taking half of his Magic Circuits as an ingredient as long as he gets the Grail in return. Geoffrey hastily agreed and with the new ingredient, continued his work.
Acute The First TwinCreated in a tube of fluid, Acute was the first "failed" imitation of Geoffrey's daughter, she was given the name when awakened and released but that didn't mean she was discarded and thrown away, no. Instead, he was considered the second daughter that he never had. Created as an obedient being that's honest with her feelings and a little bit too direct but not towards her creator, who she deems her "Papa.".
She had spent the last eight years being taught what to do in public and what to do to maintain her skills in close quarters combat using her Transmutation magecraft. However, she was deemed far from the perfect daughter that she herself wishes for, in fact, the desire to become the perfect daughter that Geoffrey wanted manifested itself when the Holy Grail reawakened in Rome, granting her Command Spells.
She surprised her father when she had it and was overcome with joy that if he had the Grail, he may bring back his daughter from the dead. Normally she wouldn't care about anything like that but something about his wish had hurt her more than he could. She hadn't realized it and kept it at the back of her mind. The family of two flew to Rome when informed about the true mission from the same Noble that came to his manor all those years ago.
While the father's wish was never strong enough. Acute's was and she would do anything to "Papa's" perfect little girl.
Magic Circuits
Circuit Quantity: C+
Circuit Quality: A
Skills
HouseworkAcute has the expertise of a housewife or a maid for that manner. Able to cook and clean with minimal problems that aren't too concerning. This also applies to tailoring ripped up clothes.
EspionageAcute can blend well with her surroundings, while she does have Command Spells she could easily hide it just by using her child-like appearance to fool others into thinking she is nothing but a mere child or a student attending high school that didn't have a growth spurt. All she needs is the proper clothing.
Close Quarters CombatantProgrammed to be a close combat homunculus. Acute is equipped with the necessary knowledge and athletic ability to execute martial arts and other methods of self-defense well which comes in handy with her own Magecraft to boot.
Magecraft
General MagecraftAcute has a basic grasp of General Magecraft such as the creation of Bounded Fields, mana transfers, healing and etc.
Alchemy: TransmutationAcute can transmute her limbs into any metal she wishes, reconfiguring the bone and skin structure to match the properties of said metal she wishes to replace with. Normally this would exhaust a great amount of prana but in her case, the amount required is less.
Mystic Code: DollmakerAcute was given a cylindrical, steampunk-themed automaton that acts like a dollmaker, should she have any missing body parts. This Mystic Code can not only repair the Magic Circuits that were lost from the limb but also recreate the part if they have its parallel no matter the size or color.
Weaknesses
Can Only Fight One At A TimeWhile homunculi are perfect beings on the outside, they aren't on the inside. Acute can really only hold her own against one opponent at least. Should there be swarms or pressure from multiple people, she could get easily overwhelmed and be forced to retreat.
Vulnerable At Long RangeAcute is no Servant, if she cannot see someone with a ranged weapon then she is more or less just another target dummy for them.
