Assassin of Red

• Name: Jack the Ripper
• Class: Assassin
• Appearance: Devil in Disguise
• Personality: It can be said that, in some ways, Assassin is somewhat contradictory. She appears pure and innocent, desiring simply to feel the love of a Mother. And yet she is a remorseless killer who does not hesitate to strike. She appears naive and childish, but is quick-thinking and remarkably intelligent. Regardless, it is immediately obvious on her summoning that Assassin attaches herself to her Master, especially if they are female, like glue. She desires to be praised, to be treated with affection by her Master. Indeed, female Masters are referred to exclusively as Mother by the young girl. When she is treated kindly, her behavior will reflect this treatment and she will happily return kindness both to her Master and to others. Cruel treatment will slowly damage her psyche. Beyond these traits, Assassin is almost desperate when it comes to food, and while she is incredibly affectionate towards her Master she will be nervous and uncertain about being touched to begin with. Additionally, while she can show cheerful behavior, she is prone to depressive moments, as well as a shyer side. Loud or overly crowded situations will leave her likely to attempt to conceal herself behind her Master. Still, while one side of her appears to be an innocent girl, the other side of her is hardly hidden. Assassin has absolutely no hesitation when it comes to the matter of killing, and will even ask her Master if it is acceptable to kill any given target she chooses. She is, after all, a serial killer right out of legend.

  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: C
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: C
  • Luck: E
  • Noble Phantasm: C
• Class Skills:
  • Presence Concealment: A+
• Personal Skills:
  • Murderer of the Misty Night: A. Assassin possesses the capacity to strike opponents while they are unguarded. This becomes uncontested as long as it is night.
  • Mental Pollution: C. Due to the horrible conditions of her life, Assassin's psyche is fractured, rendering it difficult to effect her mind via magecraft. If Assassin is treated with cruelty, this skill will increase in rank, but her mind will become completely shattered. However, positive treatment will cause this skill to become inert.
  • Information Erasure: B. A undiscovered killer in life, this trait manifests as a skill that causes all traces of Assassin to be wiped away at the conclusion of an engagement. Even memories of her presence are lost, and images captured on recordings vanish. However, physical signs of the encounter still remain.
  • Surgical Procedure: E. An inexplicable capability demonstrated by the surgical precision with which Assassin's victims were dissected, Assassin is capable of performing surgery in order to heal herself and others. In spite of the unreliable appearance of the procedure and its aftermath, even severed limbs can be repaired to proper functionality.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Maria the Ripper: The Holy Mother of Dismemberment
  • Rank: D~B
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: The four oddly-shaped knives utilized by Assassin.
  • Effects: A curse fueled by the rage of the hundreds of thousands of angry phantoms inhabiting Assassin's body, resulting in a conditional instant kill upon her target. Physical defense is completely impossible, but conceptual defenses or a resistance to curses may allow survival. Upon the invocation of this Noble Phantasm, a check is performed to confirm three conditions. First, if it is night. Then, if it is foggy. Finally, if the target is female. If all three of these conditions are met, the four knives utilized by Assassin materialize inside the target's body before carving their way back out, pulling out the target's internal organs with them. Through this manner, any victim of Assassin's Noble Phantasm is unquestionably transformed into an eviscerated corpse. However, this requires a fulfillment of all three conditions and no resistance to curses. In spite of this, even if these conditions are not met, the curse still inflicts internal damage as the knives appear inside the victim and cut away at their internal organs. It will simply fail to to actually kill them, instead leaving them with violent, but nonlethal, internal injury. However, if none of the conditions are met, the curse will fail to activate.
  
  
  • Name: The Mist: Darkened Misty Metropolis
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Bounded Field
  • Appearance: A mist that pours from an antique candlelit lantern.
  • Effects: The embodiment of the choking mist that filled the streets of London during Assassin's lifetime, The Mist is a bounded field that inflicts a poisonous effect upon all who become trapped within it. In spite of this, Assassin is capable of designating targets within The Mist to remain unaffected. Simply opening the lantern and touching the candle inside causes this Noble Phantasm to activate. Those who do not receive this protection are afflicted differently depending on their nature. A mundane human will choke on The Mist, weaken, and die in a relatively short period of time as the caustic fog burns their throat and eyes and renders it impossible for them to breath. A magus will resist the effects for somewhat longer, but they will eventually perish as well from taking a continuous assault on their body if they do not swiftly take countermeasures. Servants, however, will not take any damage from The Mist and instead will receive a rank down in agility. By utilizing The Mist, Assassin can fulfill one condition of Maria the Ripper, as well as disable targets in order to selectively kill them. Even against enemy Servants, The Mist allows her to gain an advantage in the form of surprise and her own unaffected Agility parameter.

@ZekariVoblis: Okay, have to veto that many weapons. It would be way too hard to smuggle that massive illegal arsenal through Japan. Maybe like a couple he can hide really well.

Fate/bizarro alternative

The Einzbern preparations for the Fourth Holy Grail War had been going just as planned. They had obtained this catalyst many years ago, a true divine relic that could only summon one of the most powerful Heroic Spirits from the history of mankind. Combined with the intended Master, the pinnacle of their craft, there was no way that they could fail this time. In addition, she would be supported by her family, her maids… finally, it was their path to victory. They had taken extensive time to plan their course of action after the delay of the Fourth War due to the farce that had become the Fifth. To think, someone had tried to steal the Greater Grail itself… and met his end at the hands of the Tohsaka Family’s representative, body blown apart and burned to cinders. They had even lost one of the founding families with the death of Matou Zouken…

But now, the grail would be ready, would it not?

Except…

It soon became clear that they were not the only ones who had been waiting for this day.

To those who were present, the Ainsworth raid on the Einzbern mansion in Fuyuki’s forest had been a shocking, chaotic event. Dozens of empowered dolls led by the most powerful among the Ainsworth family’s magi descended on the mansion and begun their assault. In spite of the mayhem, it became clear their target was indeed Illyasviel von Einzbern herself. The ensuing conflict lead to the deaths of many of the Ainsworth dolls, but also the crippling of Emiya Kiritsugu and the loss of many resources due to the devastating attack.

In the end, the Ainsworths had failed to obtain Illyasviel. However…

They had claimed the ritual. Through careful manipulation, they had installed their own Masters, members of their family or others tied to them, in every available spot in the Holy Grail War.

There was no way to obtain entry into the war, now, with all seven spots filled.

Or so the Ainsworth Family thought…

Soon they learned that the Einzbern, and the Tohsaka, were far more resourceful then they had anticipated, and the damage the grail had sustained all those years ago had allowed for even further manipulation of the ritual known as the Holy Grail War.

Two teams of Seven Servants and their Seven Masters.

The Great Holy Grail War.

---

Avalon.

The Holy Scabbard of King Arthur. The Everdistant Utopia that the King was said to wait in after his death, biding his time until the world needed him once again.

The ideal catalyst for a Saber-class Servant. The Ainsworth family had also clearly been intent on capturing it for their own use, but they had been unable to locate it.

For good reason. The Einzbern family had placed it somewhere it would be truly impossible to obtain by anyone else.

Illyasviel von Einzbern had been able to conduct the summoning in a safe location, under careful supervision. Until she obtained her Servant, it was deemed unsafe for her to be left alone at any point. The Ainsworths were awaiting any chance they had to try and obtain the girl, after all. And so their backup location, the Emiya residence, specifically in a shack behind the home itself. It was an unlikely place for such a legendary figure to be called fourth, but it had proven to be an ideal location in the absence of the Einzbern mansion itself.

And indeed, as expected, Illyasviel had conducted the ritual perfectly. Nothing had gone awry, and there had been no mistakes in the process. It was indeed just what everyone had hoped for.

And yet…

“Servant Saber, successfully summoned into this world.”

The figure that had been summoned was not the man they had expected. Instead, a slender, beautiful blonde girl in an armored dress stood before Illyasviel. In one hand, she gripped a weapon cloaked in swirling air, hiding even its shape and length from sight.

“I ask of you, are you my Master?”

Indeed, Saber herself had been somewhat confused by her Master, just as the onlookers had been surprised by her gender. She had never expected to be called to fight in the Holy Grail War by what appeared to be a child no older then ten years of age.

It was not long before she was informed of the truth of the situation, and the nature of the conflict she had been called to.

It was an even greater battle then she had anticipated.

The Tohsaka Household

The anticipation that had been built up was almost thick in the air. And yet, Tohsaka Tokiomi seemed as cool as ever, collected and confident as he oversaw his daughter’s arrangements for the war. It had been somewhat chaotic, arranging for the impending meeting between the seven Masters of the Tohsaka-Einzbern faction of the Great Holy Grail War. The decision to utilize his daughter as the representative for his family, rather then himself, had been a conclusion fueled by her position as his successor as the head of the family.

This was an opportunity to showcase her position and her capabilities, as well as a crucial battle for their family, and indeed the remaining founding families of the Holy Grail War. The fact that the Matou no longer existed as a family of magi was regrettable, but that had been before his time as the head of the Tohsaka.

By this point, his wife had been safely sent out of town, and out of harm’s way. Only himself and his daughter remained in the Tohsaka residence.

Rin had performed an admirable job, taking to her position as one of the organizers for their faction quite well. Now it was simply time to provide her with the final piece required for a Master’s participation in the battle for the Holy Grail.

The gem that would serve as the core of her summoning ritual. The instrument that would allow her to bring fourth a hero of legend, even if it was not a proper catalyst. The time it had spend storing up mana for all those years…

Soon, the other Masters would arrive. Tokiomi knew the Einzbern had already called fourth their Servant, but he was admittedly uncertain about the others. Regardless, it was time.

“Since everything is ready, Rin… I believe it is time to give you this.”

He held up an elaborate, decorated box. Within was a large, crimson amulet.

Everything had been prepared.

Even if Rin waited until the others arrived to summon her Servant, there could be no denying that she would summon an excellent and reliable Heroic Spirit.

As for the others, in some cases it would be the first time the Masters met one another. In others, they would recognize each other, or even lived together. Whatever the case, they were now allies against the Ainsworths in this Great Holy Grail War.

The Ainsworth Workshop

For someone with the wealth of the Ainsworth family, purchasing an entire apartment complex was trivial. With their capabilities, the alteration of the interior to their specifications was even moreso. They had needed a base of operations, a territory in which they would be able to defend against even the most powerful assault by enemy Servants. The current family head, Delphine, had ensured that, to anyone unwelcome, the complex would be a deathtrap. Moving hallways, walls that could crush intruders, and a host of other features resulted in a deadly complex of rooms and hallways that any member of the Ainsworth family could rearrange through the use of Flash Air.

It was a fortress not easily assaulted.

But for the Ainsworth family and their allies, it was simple to navigate. Everything would simply fall into place before them, no matter what.

Tonight was the overture of the ritual know as the Holy Grail War. They had hoped to shut out any interference, but it seemed that was truly impossible. The Tohsaka and the Einzbern, and their allies, had managed to access the ritual anyway, prepare to summon their own Servants. And so it would not be a simple matter to obtain their goal. Oh no, this was to be a battle of two teams of seven Servants and Seven Masters. A clash of heroes of the past.

But that did not matter. All that mattered was reaching that distant goal that had finally come closer.

No matter what, it had to be attained.

The first to arrive had been Sophelia, the youngest child of the Ainsworths, waiting in the vast space that had been created as a meeting room. Clutching a stuffed doll against her slight chest, the little girl’s appearance certainly hid how dangerous she truly was. From birth, she was an unnatural prodigy whose existence shined like a beacon of Ainsworth magecraft.

The others would arrive soon.

Even if they had not all summoned their Servants, they would soon be ready.

To wage the Great Holy Grail War.

Sophelia, of course, was especially concerned with one specific goal of the family. The capture of Illyasviel von Einzbern. Ever since she had seen the other girl, she felt that, somehow, they were rivals. That it was her deepest duty to capture her and prove her superiority. It felt like a natural impulse, something she would follow no matter what. Not only that, but it was an important duty that any member of their faction was supposed to follow.

It was only natural that she would be the one most likely to succeed.

Delphine herself had yet to make an appearance, but she would as soon as everything was settled.

She would stop at nothing. Her goal of all these long years was far too close for that.

@Grey: Hmmm... going to be honest, he doesn't seem like much of an Assassin in this state. He's more of an Archer then anything, lacking the usual sure kill NP Assassins tend to have.

@Argonaut: Alright I think you've made all the necessary edits, accepted.

@Kyoka: Hmm... I think you should maybe reword the bombs a little bit? Sorry, right now it still reads like they're regular bombs he builds which feels out of place for a traditional family like the Ainsworths. ^^; But if they're kind of like one-use mystic codes(or extensions of the mystic code he uses to detonate them) that's very nasty combined with flash air.
