I came up with an idea for a Master already, but no Servant yet.
She might be a little OP for a Master. Also, I never heard of circuit quantity and quality, so I'll need some help on that.
Name: Alexandra (family name pending)
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Personality: Alexandra lost most of her personality over the years after inheriting her family's crest. What once was a playful and innocent lady, became a dull and cold woman, with the side effects of her crest keeping her constantly in a bad mood. Despite this, she still treats other with respect and consideration and can eventually warm up to others.
Appearance: Fair skin, blue eyes, small black spot on the right side of the chin, blonde hair reaching her lower back, D cups, 1,72 m.
Biography and Family History: Alexandra comes from a family of magi that specialized in using illusions. Their signature spells are all focused on tricking the senses of others, while leaving the world around them untouched. While it may not seem like an impressive use of magecraft, the illusions become more realistic and powerful as they grow older and is also affected by the user's natural talent. At their peek, these illusions can trick all senses of a target person or group, leaving them unable to even tell the difference between real and fake. This method of magic, however, is a double-edged sword and also affects their user, which affects their sanity over the years and going as far leaving the bearer of the crest delusional or demented. Due to this, their maids were trained in rituals like that of the transferal of the family crest to the next member should the current bearer be unable to do so himself.
Alexandra lived a relatively normal life in her childhood, while also learning the basics of magecraft. Out of pity, her mother, Charlotte, waited as long as possible to transfer the crest to her, knowing well the effects it would have on Alexandra and allowed her peace of mind. However, her father, the at the time bearer of the crest, was losing his lucidity and the already delayed transferal was scheduled. As debilitated as he was, the maids assisted in the ceremony and successfully transferred the crest to Alexandra, but this did's stop her father's fall into lunacy instead only slowing it.
Alexandra's father died a few years later and she already was demonstrating progress in illusions, but also started to have hallucinations soon after. Usually the side effects only showed much later; this rapid development was likely due to her talent in magecraft. Charlotte was actually sad that her daughter was as talented as she was as she would also lose her sanity faster, but helped her as much as she could.
Through her mid teens, Alexandra started to have recurring nightmares, becoming more and more frequent as time went by. At puberty she frequently had headaches and sometimes dizziness. While she had medication at her disposal to weaken the side effects of the crest, they returned soon after and she didn't want to abuse it as the suppression actually weakened her magecraft as well, so she only took them when the pain and discomfort was unbearable. To distract herself between doses, she took up a habit of reading novels and plays. She even tricked her own senses to make the scenes real in her eyes and that proved to be very effective.
Her progress was satisfactory, as she could already perform minor illusions at will and trick several senses at once relatively easy, which took her father over a decade to achieve. But her interest in studying magecraft was diminishing, she honestly saw no point in studying something that caused so much pain and the idea of having to pass it on to her children was repulsive at the least.
What filled her with hope, however, was the mysterious message she received from a man wearing golden armor. The Holy Grail could easily rid her of her torment and so she departed to Judea.
Origin and Elemental Affinity: Illusions.
Number of Magic Circuits and Quality of Magic Circuits: 40 of rank B.
Magic Circuit Switch: A snap of her fingers. As she can make minor illusions at will, the snap will echo to anyone that can be affected by her illusions. How much it echos determines how much one would be affected by her trickery.
Magecraft:
Gandr Shot (just because).
Illusions: various illusion types that can affect each of the senses. Can use one type at a time as single-action, two as a one-line and three as a two-line and so on. Can affect Servants with Magic rank of E~C with each rank reducing the effectiveness of the illusions, while B and above aren't affected at all. Magic Resistance of rank D is already enough to make the effects negligible and using more types of illusions at once have no added effect as it is merely quantitative. The Clairvoyance skill will not prevent one from being affected, but just by knowing what's actually fake weakens their effect.
Mental Link: Creates a bridge between herself and another person. Can more easily affect them with illusions (restrictions of Magic rank and Clairvoyance still apply) and transfer her sensations as well as read the target's mind, but this is very dull. One-line incantation.
Cradle of Nightmares: Invades the dreams on a person she's holding or is under the effect of Mental Link. As dreams are illusions themselves, Alexandra can take over them more easily than normal and turn them against the target. While this can't kill anyone it can leave them weakened afterwards. Defeating Alexandra while inside a dream will mentally hurt her and prevent the use of high-level magecraft. Can only affect a target that is asleep and a preparation of a five-line incantation as well as going to sleep herself is necessary. Ley lines and magical circles can amplify her range and chances of maintaining control of the dream.
Phantasmagoria: high-level thaumaturgy that affects anyone within a range of 50 meters, including Alexandra herself. Once inside the Phantasmagoria one cannot tell real from fake and all senses will be tricked. Will affect anyone without at least a rank A on Magical Resistance, although rank B already reduces the effect. A higher rank in Magic can reduce the effect of the illusions, but not cancel them. Alexandra can choose who is affected by it once they have been drawn inside. Five-line incantation.
Mystic Codes and Equipment: None.
Non-Magecraft Related Skills: Alexandra knows several fairy tales and plays almost by heart. Good at ignoring certain things when focusing. Can brush off pain and discomfort despite not being physically strong.
