Fate/phantasmagoria Signups

Class: Berserker
Master: TBA
True Name: "Jack the Ripper", Legendary Serial Killer
Gender: Female
Height/ Weight: 150cm, 45kg
Alignment: Chaotic Mad
Appearance: "I'm a nasty surprise, I'm a devil in disguise..." Whilst under Mad Ehancement, she assumes a more feral expression and stance, her eyes glow red, and she is permanently shrouded in mist.
Personality: A young girl filled with contradictions, possessing properties of both day and night. Her personality is pure, but cruel at the same time. Though her manner of speech is innocent, she is quick of thought. She is rational, but is emotionally weak. She responds cruelly to others' ill will, but is soft against good will. And although she wears revealing clothing, she is shy, and doesn't go out during the day. She yearns strongly for a mother, and if her Master is female, she will insist on calling them "Mother".
Stats: (Stat boosts whilst under Mad Enhancement indicated in brackets)

• Strength: C (B)
  
• Endurance: C (B)
  
• Agility: A (A+)
  
• Mana: C
  
• Luck: E
  
• Noble Phantasm (Rank): C
  

Skills:

• Mad Enhancement (C)
  
• Murderer of the Misty Night (A)
  
• Mental Pollution (C)
  
• Information Erasure (B)
  
• Surgical Procedure (X): Jack is incapable of using this skill due to being summoned as Berserker.
  Noble Phantasms:
  
  • Maria the Ripper - The Holy Mother of Dismemberment (D) (Anti-Unit): A set of four strangely shaped knives. They are normally classified as Rank D Noble Phantasms, but they can be empowered under certain conditions by "the hatred of children who were denied everything, even the chance to sell their own flesh; the children who were abandoned back then by the 80,000 prostitutes in the London ghettos in order to maintain their own livelihood." If activated normally, they can be used to deal physical damage to the target while the conditions are not completely fulfilled. Upon fulfilling them, the damage rendered receives a large boost in Rank and the attack can guarantee instant death. If a) "it is night-time," b) "the target is a female," c) "it is misty," the knives manifest within the target's body, instantly vivisecting their flesh. The attack is communicated as a curse rather than a physical technique executed by utilizing the set of knives, so it may be used at range. Much like Zabaniya: Delusional Heartbeat, physical defense is impossible, but resistance to curses may permit evasion. Jack cannot use the eviscirating curse of Maria the Ripper whilst under the effects of Mad Enhancement, and instead only uses it as a regular set of D Rank knives.
    
  • The Mist - Darkened Misty Metropolis (A) (Anti-Army): a Bounded Field Noble Phantasm generated from an antique lantern that reenacts the phenomenon of the "Mist of Death". Upon opening the shutter and gently touching the candle inside, the lit flame instantly begins to generate smoke-like mist from the bottom of the lantern. The mist, wrought of prana, forms a Bounded Field around the area that has a negative effect on all those who enter within the perimiter. Normal humans will quickly faint from pain upon coming in contact with the dense cloud of enveloping smoke, as simply breathing it in burns the throat and direct contact with eyes causes them to fester. They start to sufficate due to being unable to breath, and they cannot see anything as they writhe in pain. She can easily use this time to selectively kill them, or she can simply wait for them to be inflicted with death within a few turns. Magi will not immediately perish, but they will recieve continuous damage. Heroic Spirits will not recieve damage, but they will have a Rank Down in Agility. The Mist is constantly active whilst Jack is under the effects of Mad Enhancement.
    

Name: Galahad Athanasius Weishaupt
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Description: Looks kinda familiar...

Personality: Serious minded, with no patience for nonsense or foolishness. He takes great pride in his family's pedigree as blue blood mages, and is very devoted to the quest of reaching the Root. Galahad truly believes that, like his namesake, he is destined to obtain the Grail, and that no-one else of worthy of it.

Abilities: A magus with an affinity for the wind element, and possessing the Weishaupt family crest. He has practiced fencing since he was young, and so is adept in swordplay (just about every sword-wielding Servant outclasses him by miles, though). Galahad possesses a Mystic Code named Gladio Ventus, which when activated takes the form of a cylinder of strong, focused winds that surround him. The winds are strong enough to deflect most projectiles fired at him (even bullets) and will cause serious lacerations to any non-Servants who get too close to them. As a drawback, it is fixed in position whilst active, and he must deactivate it if he wishes to move.
Bio: The latest master of the old magus lineage of Weishaupt. His family's esteem in the Association has been dropping as of late due to lack of results, and as such he has taken a gamble in his search for the Root: after hearing rumours of the Grail Wars that took place in Fuyuki, he has travelled to Redrock to take part in this new war.

Assets: His family's vast fortune and ancestral rapier (just pretend it looks less, um, plasticky and more like a real sword).

Class: Rider

True Name: Horst Bernard, The Headless Horseman

Gender: Male

Height/Weight: 6 feet, four inches tall, 240 lbs (5 feet 2 inches, 230 lbs after losing his head and neck)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral.

Appearance: A man in a black cloak with a burning pumpkin for a head. He sits on the back of his ghostly horse whenever possible.

Personality: Horst is a simple man who does what he thinks is necessary in the long run for his own survival. Unlike most Heroic Spirits, he has no claim to nobility, only notoriety, and is well aware of the fact his image is widely used in tales of horror and fully intends to use this to his advantage in the Grail War.

Stats: (Bonuses activate at night when in physical contact with the Blazing Pumpkin.)
Strength: D (B)
Endurance: C (A)
Agility: B+
Magical Energy: D (B)
Luck: E
Noble Phantasm (Rank): B

Skills:
Class Skills:
* Battle Continuation (A)
* Riding (A)

Personal Skills:
* Ghostly Visage (A): Horst is a ghost, giving the air an unnatural chill as he passes by, leaving the air about him smelling like a tomb. This effect, when activated, causes his enemies to fear him, making his horse seem larger and more demonic and the flames from his pumpkin take on a sickly green glow.

Noble Phantasms:
* Blazing Pumpkin (B): His true head, a pumpkin wreathed in flames. As long as it is intact, his body (and that of his horse) will quickly regenerate any damage done to it. It is, aside from its flames, a mundane (if fireproof) pumpkin. Contained within is a seed which, when exposed to Prana while the previous pumpkin is destroyed, can grow a new head, although it must be planted in soil from a church and the pumpkin kindled to return the Horseman's sight and power. It allows him to speak and get sensory input as if the pumpkin were an actual head.

* Brimstone (B): The ghostly mount of the Headless Horseman, this horse leaves the air stale in its wake. It is capable of moving at incredible speeds. However, being a ghost just like its rider, it can't cross running water.


History: In life, Horst was one of many Hessian mercenaries in the employ of the British Crown hired to suppress the American Revolution. Although he'd had terrible luck all his life, he thought that by doing mercenary work for the British crown he could finally save enough money to buy some land to settle down with a family. However, this was not to be, for at the long-forgotten Battle of Chatterton Hill, his head and neck were blown off by an American cannonball. He still fought on from the back of the horse, having been experimented on by a British magus masquerading as an army surgeon after being shot earlier, before finally being unable to fight after his mount was shot. He was carried to a church to be buried (even while still barely alive), but those who searched for it failed to locate his head and he was buried without it. As his body had been separated from his head, he could not rest and roamed as a ghost and dragged himself and his horse from grip of death, seeking either his head or the perfect replacement, one that would rest on his shoulders without rolling off. However, he still needed a head and as such stole a pumpkin from the garden of the church where he was buried, carving out eyes and setting it ablaze to light his path. Each moment he held it reminded him of the indignity of his burial, giving him strength from his anger. Soon enough, travelers began to fear traveling the roads near Sleepy Hollow, New York at night. For those who did would often find themselves facing down a headless man on a horse spitting fire and brimstone, a smoldering pumpkin balanced on his shoulders and a bloody sword in hand decapitating everyone he came across.

In 1793, he found his perfect replacement. A man who had just fled from a thrown pumpkin tossed by a man across the river. Horst raised his sword and decapitated the man in one swing, placing the head on his shoulders, tossing the body in the river, taking one last ride around the area before settling into his own grave. Now that he had a reasonable facsimile for his own head, he could finally rest peacefully. From that day forth, he remained dead.

Now, he fights in the Grail War with a simple wish... "I want to be returned to life... with a head!"

Name: Rachel St. Claire

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: "Ah... cold, today."

Personality: With the goal of her family in mind—to try and pack as much prana into a human frame and open the path to Akasha—despite her own desire to be an author. She likes fiction a lot more than magecraft and, though she devotes time to that which she's been raised to do from birth, Rachel tends to look at a lot of things like stories.

Abilities:

• Elemental Affinity: Blood; a sub-element of Water possessed by her entire family for generations. Also has a secondary affinity for Wind, though she's not so keen to apply that.
  
• Family Magics—Prana-Packed Blood. The entire basis of Rachel's family's magic is that blood is almost omnipresent in the human body. So why not turn the blood vessels themselves into magic circuits? Over the generations, this is EXACTLY what they have done, to the point that Rachel's normal magical circuits are effectively dead next to those that infuse her blood.
  Result? Her blood is literally packed with magic, above and beyond that which could be achieved by most normal magus. In addition to producing substantial amounts, the amount stored in her body is huge. Naturally, this comes with a downside: if she wants to get at these particular circuits—rather than her barely working (Shirou's are better—yes, Shirou's) but normal ones—then Rachel has to lose some of that blood.
  This extends to fuelling a Servant, too, unless she wants to go the OTHER route.
  
• Blood Control: So long as it still contains prana, she can control and direct a small quantity of her own blood, as well as multiply it. The result (aided by her Wind affinity) is that she can turn her blood into weapons and shields. Or use it for closing others' wounds by forcing it to form a bandage. She can control any blood that has been mingled with hers, too, without needing to waste prana to multiply it.
  In a pinch, she could force it through her skin. But that? That's not a good idea, given the size of the wound
  
• Mystic Code: Stasis Bandages. Fuelled by the blood constantly flowing past it, these bandages (one on each arm) keep a wound open but the blood INSIDE her body. Only the magecraft involved prevents infection or an immune response. The wounds beneath still hurt, though.

Bio: Born to a long line of mages, Rachel experienced a pretty normal childhood. That her mother died not too long after passing on her thaumaturgical crest—her father being a magus but not one with anything of note to his name—has... well, it's made her want to get away from her family for a while. She's justified the trip as for 'research', though she actually means for stories rather than magecraft. Who knows what she'll find?

Assets: Money. Her family's wealth is actually kept in normal banks, amazingly. Guess her parents couldn't think of anything to do one day.

Class: Saber

Master: -If applicable-

True Name: Lancelot du Lac

Gender: Male

Height/Weight: 191cm, 81kg

Alignment: Lawful Good

Appearance: Projected armour is awesome. Gets this for clothing.

Personality: Despite his failings, still the Knight In Shining Armour, bound to the code of chivalry and almost as close as you can get to a living embodiment of it. Protect the weak. Guard your honour and the honour of fellow warriors and never refuse a challenge or surrender—persevere until the very end. Protect a ladies honour. Do not lie. Loyally obey anything your superiors command. It is this last one, and protecting a female's honour, that Lancelot feels he has failed—though Arturia doesn't see it that way. He wants to atone; wants her to be the one to kill him... and until this war is over and the chance of that is lost, he will not give in. The Quest for the Holy Grail shows that Lancelot does not know how to give up

Stats:

• Strength: A
  
• Endurance: B
  
• Agility: A
  
• Magical Energy: C
  
• Luck: C
  
• Noble Phantasm (Rank): A

Class Skills:

• Magic Resistance: D. Cancel Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy. As it is resistance that comes from a magical ring and not oneself, it is lower than expected of the Saber class.
  
• Riding: A. A: All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts. This rank is high enough to have aptitude for the Rider Class.

Personal Skills:

• Eternal Arms Mastership:A+. Mastership of combat arts has reached the point of being said to be unrivaled in one's era. By complete merging of mind, body and technique, it is possible to make use of full fighting skills even when under the influence of any sort of mental hindrance.
  
• Protection of the Fairies: A. A blessing from Elementals; the capacity to increase one's Luck in dangerous situations. Activation is limited to battlefields, where it is possible to perform feats of arms.

Noble Phantasms:

• Arondight, Unfading Light of the Lake. A++, Anti-Unit. A holy sword and the counterpart to Excalibur, it was forged by fairy hands rather than human. 'It is a limitless sword capable of receiving any attack without taking damage that shines much like the water of the Lake. It was given only to someone who could be exalted as the "perfect knight", the strongest, bravest and truest knight of an era, which signifies the unrivaled Lancelot out of all those who sat at the Round Table of Camelot.' Summoned as Saber, it retains its original shine but still forgoes its status as a holy weapon. Picture.
  Raises all parameters by one when activated and vastly increases prana drain. The mere act of drawing it seals For Someone's Glory and Knight of Honour. Also possesses an anti-dragon attribute.
  
• For Someone's Glory: Not For One's Own Glory. B, Anti-Unit. A fog materialised from Lancelot's tendency for winning tournaments and endeavours under another's name or a false name, it shrouds his appearance and abilities. Masters cannot observe his capabilities, either (hence the spoiler tags). It can be used to take the form of another Servant of military note—but due to Lancelot's personal convictions, only the use of a Command Seal can persuade him to do so for dishonourable reasons.
  
• Knight of Honor—A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands. A++, Anti-Unit. Anything that Lancelot takes into his hands and can conceive as a weapon is considered to be his Noble Phantasm and he can wield it as if he was a master that had trained his whole life with it. Mundane weaponry or items are considered to be Noble Phantasms of D-Rank and their capabilities (such as speed or rate of fire) are increased to be a threat to Servants. This also allows Lancelot to wield another's Noble Phantasm as his own. Faint red lines and a dull shine envelop all items that are combined with this Noble Phantasm. Has a high activation cost.

Alright, I'd prefer if we had a Lancer and an Assassin before starting. However, now would be a good time to decide on Master-Servant pairings since I'm considering starting this up somewhat soon.

Faust for Galahad's Servant is fine by me!

Also, for Tamamo:

Name: Coney Satin
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: "It's very simple."
Personality: Coney is sarcastic to a fault. She rarely restrains her tongue, and is liable to make biting comments almost constantly over everything. Coney is prone to judging others rather harshly. However, she doesn't intend to be cruel... even if she is by accident. She has a severe fear of heights which she tries to keep hidden, and a fear of darkness to a lesser extent.
Abilities: Coney's elemental affinity is air. As a magus-in-training, she has yet to learn some more advanced techniques. However, what she has learned includes the manipulation of air currents to accelerate throne objects, primarily knives.

• Mystic Code-World's Edge: A Knife with the ability to manipulate time. It has a set pattern for these manipulations, one slow down, one speed up, one slow down, one speed up. This takes place over an outside time-span of ten seconds. The knife does not manipulate time for Coney, instead manipulating time for the target. It makes the target the center and source of these time manipulations, doing vast damage to their. However, the entire blade must be inside their body in order for it to work. It cannot harm Servants, and is far too heavy to be thrown or accelerated with air currents.
  

Bio: Born in the Satin magus family, Coney's early life was filled with hard training and focus. However, when she entered her teens, her family decided to have her work as a maid for another magus family in order to pay back a favor. She resents this, to some extent, but likes the uniform.
Assets: A lot of knives, a sizable sum of money, and a mansion home.

Accepted.

Accepted.

Name: Alexander Taylor
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Description: I'm the only one that can win.
Personality: A loner with an air of superiority, Alex claims he needs no allies to get by, with the obvious exception of his Servant. For all his claims of being greater, however, he never seems to actively pick a fight - rather, he seems to try and avoid it, though whether it's out of cowardice or some other reason isn't too clear. He's also been known to offer a helping hand on rare occasions.
Abilities: Reinforcement - Is able to strengthen objects, or his own body to make it much more difficult for any non-servant to wound him. Still feels the pain, though.
Bio: Alex was never the friendliest person growing up. He always had a cocky and superior attitude to others, even though he could hardly be called a powerful magus. His father participated in the Grail War and died during its course, which seemed to have slightly worsened his overall attitude to others. Although Alex was never one to jump into conflict, especially life-risking ones, he's somewhat eagerly joined the current Grail War.
Assets: The family fortune, of course. Though he opts live in a rather small apartment.
