Fate Nuovo Guerra/Characters


This is a list of characters from Fate Nuovo Guerra. These are still mostly a work in progress and will be updated in the future. As a note, the forum makes use of face claims.


Masters

General tropes for Masters.

Masters who command the Saber Class.

Celestina Barbieri/Celestina Barthomeloi

"Victory is determined by intellect and power. Lacking in one is just careless."

Barthomeloi Lorelei's illegitimate daughter, Celestina is the result of the Queen of Clock Tower's first and last mistake. Hidden and raised in the family estate's basement and personally trained by her parents, she ended up hating her father after learning of the truth of her conception. Proud of her lineage, she has been sent to participate in the Sixth Holy Grail War under the alias "Celestina Barbieri", perhaps to earn the coveted Barthomeloi family name, perhaps as a convenient way to dispose of her, bastard child that she is.

Celestina embodies the following tropes:

  • Ahoge
  • Blow You Away/Shock and Awe - Her specialization is in these two types of magecraft, and her spells include Razor Wind, as well as a "railgun" spell that magnetically accelerates a metallic object.
  • Blue Blood - It doesn't get any bluer than the Barthomeloi family.
  • Evil Eye - Inherited from her father's side, a family that strengthens their bloodline by absorbing evil spirits to strengthen themselves. This has resulted in her inheriting their demon blood. Her Mystic Eyes protect against enemy spells or banish familiars. In the case of Servants, their stats are also affected. The protective effect can also leak to her Servant.
  • In the Blood - See Evil Eye above.
  • Knife Nut - She collects blades of all sorts from many countries.
  • Lady of War - Her preferred weapon of choice is a longsword.
  • Magic Knight - She enchants her sword with Razor Wind properties.
  • The Ojou
  • Pointy Ears - When she makes full use of her Mystic Eyes.
  • Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training - Due to being raised away from human contact, she has difficulty expressing her affections, which tend to end up looking more like bullying.
  • The Stoic
Miguel Luria-Nova

"If only you knew."

A Master hailing from a Portugese family born from the merger of two older families who pulled the move in order to save their ailing magic circuits.

Profile still under construction.

So far, Miguel is known for:

Alexandra Ritter von Ehre

"Honor? Hah, I break yours along with your spine!"

A young woman that seems to have a lot of hatred for the world, Alexandra does not play nice with others. She became the next family head after going on a rampage through her families mansion and killing her own sister just a few short days before the start of the 6th Grail War. She has no (apparent) goals.


Lempicialynn Edelfelt

"Se ei pelaa, joka pelkää." [1]

The younger of the two Edelfelt Sisters, by six minutes. As with the rest of her family, Lempi is an expert at a martial art, namely Capoeira, and Jewel Magecraft. Loves roast pork and Heineken beer, and has such a great disdain for guns that she created a spell that is basically a magical Hand Cannon for the sake of proving that her magecraft is better. She and her sister Lumi have come to participate in this war to regain the honor lost by their family in the Third Grail War. More importantly, she is a reincarnation of Rin Tohsaka made possible by her father's genetic magecraft.

Lempi is presently known for the following:

Siyr Arend


"I dream of Eagles"

Siyr is a girl living in a fantasy world, and all that that entails. She is spacy, easily distracted, and never sees the world the same way as anyone else. A normal person might call her insane, but she doesn't listen to normal people. She is after all, a magus. Who tends to have fire at hand to solve problems.

Aashiq Jeremiah Nassar

"If Plan A doesn't work, go to Plan B. If Plan B fails...well, Plan C is usually "Run like hell."

A 29-year old Master and retainer to the Nassar family based in Cairo Egypt. He joined the war to earn a little prestige for the declining family he seems doomed to inherit. Much more of a thinker than a fighter, he is brilliant at deductive reasoning but can’t fight to save his life. As a result his magecraft revolves around fleeing and distraction, and he himself is fairly quick on his feet. Eccentric, cordial, and a generally nice guy, albeit with a tendency to snark when irritated.

Fayina Reznova


"Have you ever heard that crows can remember faces and hold grudges?"


Masters who command the Archer Class.

Lumivellamo Edelfelt

"N/A"

The older of the Edelfelt Sisters, by six minutes. She essentially has the same personality as her aunt, Luvia. This is mainly because she is a reincarnation of Luvia, who died fighting a Dead Apostle Ancestor. She and her sister Lempi are participating in this Holy Grail War in order to recover the honor they lost from the Third War.

Profile still under construction.

Lumi is currently known for:

Archard Kullervo Achille

"Such useless things… They are only interesting the moment before they cease."

Sajyou Ayaka

"Can you help us find our 'Answer' . . . ?"

Franz Regendorf

"Sometimes you got to take matters into your own hands, most of the time in fact."

Tyonis Reybrant

“Well... one last chance."

Percival Heath

"Hey. Lookit me. C'mon. It'll be fine."

He just an average joe who gets trolled by his benefactor to participate in the war. Derp.

Masters who command the Lancer Class.

Ankokuki Shiki

"Enjoy this time while you can... because it won't last very long..."


Cardwyn

"You want justice? You shall have mine!"

A woman from an older Welsh line of Magi, she had her mind shattered and reformed by her father. It left her mentally unstable, and with a strange desire to deliver justice herself. With knives.

Alan Girm Moria

"Not just any book worm. I'm a book wyrm."

A man hailing from...well, Hell, Michigan; he works part time at the piccolomini library. If he's not reading a book, he's practicing his magecraft. His wish is to own a library that contains every book in existence past, present, and future. Or to become the god of libraries. Depends on his mood at the time.

He finally got approved.

Jacob Archer

"This should make for an interesting learning experience...."

A man who has lived in various countries throughout his life, Jacob Archer is an international man of mystery. His family is a fairly recent one, having only joined the association 200 years ago. He was choosen to participate in the war due to the sole fact that he happened to be the closest family member to lucca at that time. Calculating, curious, and a realist: he's the kind of man that keeps his head straight. His goal is to survive the war, and maybe grab a souvenir in the process.


Jordan Gallagher

"Baby, I've got the whole world for you. In my pants."

A lady lover with a heart of (slightly tarnished) gold. Jordan was on vacation when his own curious nature caused him to be dragged into a war he knows nothing about and attacked by monsters. Having been helped by Honda, he seeks to repay him by helping the guy out if possible.


Masters who command the Rider Class.

Enrica Mezzanotte

"I wish this peaceful life of mine could go on forever..."

Younger sister of the present Don of the Mezzanotte clan, Luciano. Enrica is a sweet, caring, obedient, and generally nice girl who just wishes her family would stop doing its dirty dealings. She has seen much of the carnage, however, and quietly accepts that there's no way to fix this. Or is there? Incidentally, she has no idea that her family is a magus family... at least until she becomes a Master. Manipulated by the Holy Grail into summoning a servant.

Enrica embodies the following:

Yang Huang Long

"Remind me tp punch myself for the brilliant idea of entering the holy grail war"

A 27 year old university student hailing from the Schezuan province of China. He's A brilliant, manipulative, sane passionate man that has a knack for sprinkling things with sarcasm. He's also lazy. Very lazy. He hopes to test his skills by participating in the war, and to nab the grail to wish for his newborn Chinese Mage Association to be protected from the other Organizations around the world.

Alice Harper

"The ends justify the means, but only if the ends themselves are just."

A brilliant, but cold magus specializing in metal-aligned magic. She is dead-set on winning the war in order to honor her family name, and will brook no interference in this matter. Little else is known about her or her origins, except for the fact that she was not the original heir to her line, and she was only chosen after the death of her brother.

Adam Wells

"Once, my mum told me that the most important thing in the world was to be happy, the second most important was magecraft of course. She died a week after telling me that, so I had a party. She’s probably happier getting reincarnated anyway, people can get too old these days."

An actor that has become a master of the war, Adam West is a man who always has a smile on his face. He sets goals he can realistically meet and never gives up once that goal is set. He can be quite the quick thinker as well. He lacks a goal due to being dragged into the war (the best wish he could think up was "for everyone in the world to be happy"), hoping to just set be a good representative for his family if anything else.

  • Agony Beam - "Mind Numbing Pain" is more of an agony bullet then beam, but it's still pretty close.
  • Horrible Judge of Character - Inverted, he's a wonderful judge of character.
  • Mask of Power - His "Faceless Illusion" artifact.
  • Only a Flesh Wound - Has a high tolerance for pain.
  • Stepford Smiler - Averted, his constant smiling is due to him being happy. Some people believe this trope to be in effect when they meet him though. Something is seriously wrong if he's not smiling.
Amaranta Bastillo

"There's a difference between being a cynic and being a realist. Luckily for you, I'm both. "

A fiesty Italian girl who was forced into the war by her grandfather, she's a full time illustration student (part time barister). She's quick thinking, practical, and always makes her mind known. Her goal is to simply survive the war, having no real long-term plans of her own.

Alex McCeol

"Okay. Now you've pissed me off. I got a song for you RIGHT HERE!"

A musician from an old family of magi, Alex's family specialized in spellsinging... at least they did until their heir decided to go to America to escape his family. Since then, the line is almost gone, with Alex being the only heir to their power. Needless to say, she isn't happy about this. Or anything else for that matter. Still she's here, unknown and underestimated, with nothing but her guitar and her gift. And of course, The Power of Rock. Partnered with Spartacus.

Masters who command the Caster Class.

Touko Aozaki

"I recently lost my familiar, so I wanted someone that can help me with my work. Are you up to the job?"

Yes, that Touko Aozaki. She's in town to study the mechanics that make the Holy Grail work. See her sheet on the respective page.

Not a Blatant Ripoff
Luciano Mezzanotte

"The one with the most preparations and flexibility has the best chances of winning."

Enrica's older brother and the current head of the Mezzanotte family. Also The Don of the Mezzanotte crime family. A Chessmaster and Manipulative Bastard who has an OCD about being prepared for things. Naturally, he likes to hide in the background and sit back watching, while the other Masters kill each other. But more likely than not, he'll use convoluted plots to kill other Masters without implicating himself.

Luciano is known for:

  • Blue Blood
  • Crazy Prepared - He's crazy enough to keep strong-grip tires in the trunk of his car even in the drought in case it rains, despite the fact that it's a drought. His workshop is wired to self-destruct if somebody manages to get inside. He commands his mafia clan under the identity of his dead big brother in order to keep himself from getting assassinated. He sleeps with a high caliber pistol under his bed.
  • Chessmaster: The others move like pawns in his plans.
  • The Don
  • Evil Eye - The "Mystic Eyes of Single Command" at its true power level. Still pretty tame compared to Lelouch's Geass, though.
  • Expy and Composite Character - His RPer lampshades this with his Custom Title of "Lelight™".
  • Fighting Dirty - He keeps three pocket guns and a retractable knife hidden on his person at all times. In order to avoid detection, he redirected the prana flow so that a 'Substitute Master' supplies his Servant with mana, while he keeps the command spells. He sics his Mage Killer assistant to kill targets. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
  • Knight Templar Big Brother - Don't even look at his sister in a funny way, if you know what's good for you.
  • Manipulative Bastard
  • Man of Wealth and Taste
  • Meaningful Name - "Luciano" is Italian for "Light"
  • Power Nullifier - His family specializes in interrupting the flow of prana through magic circuits, preventing targets from casting spells. On the other hand, they are incapable of casting physically damaging offensive spells of any kind due to being so good at this. Which is why he knows how to use a gun.
  • Purity Stu - Luciano puts this up as a facade whenever dealing with people who're unaware of his involvement with the mafia, or magi who don't know much about his family, which is saying much, considering only the Lords of Clock Tower are aware of their Manipulative Bastard tendencies.
  • Xanatos Speed Chess
Mia Hedera

"You are always under my watch"

Seikou Arigatami

"Please don’t forgive me."

An experimental human weapon descended from a family that specializes in defensive spells. He was raised in Clock Tower under fully controlled conditions, in order to turn him into an efficient weapon.

Masters who command the Assassin Class.

Genessa Satellizer

"All those with forms will perish. It's up to us to figure out how to kill it."

A prodigious child from a talented family that specialized in lightning magecraft. When said family was almost completely killed in an experiment gone wrong, Genessa was taken under the wing of the Barthomeloi family and became a maid in their service. It was during this time that they observed her talent and decided to train her. Genessa eventually attended Clock Tower and rose through the ranks to become a member of the elite Chelon Canticle Brigade. She has a crush on her employer, Lorelei Barthomeloi. Genessa is participating in the war in order to gain the respect of the Barthomeloi family, so that she can marry Lorelei.

Genessa is known for:

Miliardo Red

"Just let me put on... my game face."

A (wo)man of many faces, Miliardo Red specializes in powerful illusions to make him(her)self look like others. Calm, duplicitous, and proud of his(her) skills. Is actually a lady, but refers to him(her)self as a (s)he. His(her) wish is to be everyone in the world, simultaneously.

Matthew Walker

"I won't let her down."

A 21 year old master, Matthew Walker is one of two Magus focused in the the magecraft of Soul Burn Magic. He's a friendly guy with strong moral codes. He always keeps his word, no matter what.


Aya Howard

"I've got a nice pair of handcuffs for you."

A woman who works for Interpol (formerly S.A.S), she's a complete workaholic. She's known by the title "Little Lady". Her goal is to find out the truth behind the catastrophe of Fuyuki.

Zack Smith

"How shocking"

Zack is the Master of Ahwang Kongju in the 6th Holy Grail War. Hailing from America, he climbed up the ranks from 7th to 1st with ease in the Clock Tower, proceeding to join the ranks of Enforcers. He has been sent by the Clock Tower to observe the sixth war and take care of inconveniences. Disobeying his orders due to boredom and because he needed help for his job, Zack Smith used a good-luck charm as a cataclyst to summon his Servant. He is also known in the Clock Tower for being a lazy bum, a slacker. He is, however, a very good slacker who, when forced to, does his job perfectly.

Masters who command the Berserker Class.

Kosviel von Einzbern

"I'm cosplaying as this character because I can kill you the way she kills people."

An Einzbern homunculus created to become the next Holy Grail. Or so she thinks. Kosviel is actually a decoy Grail Vessel set up to become a Master. The true vessel is her secret twin sister, Kernsviel. Kosviel spent most of her life in Japan learning Soujutsu (spear arts). Along the way, she got exposed to anime while accompanying the dojo sensei to Akihabara, and 'grew up' into an Otaku. Kosviel spends most of her free time cosplaying and playing around.

Kosviel is known for:

  • Alchemy - Her family's specialty.
  • Blue Blood - Perhaps only second to the Barthomeloi in blueness.
  • Body Double - Lampshaded by her custom title, "The Holy Grail™".
  • Cosplay Otaku Girl - She dresses up like Lancet Keisse from her favorite Visual Novel, Firstlight Dragon. Incidentally, Lancet (and hence Kosviel) looks just like Archerko.
  • Determinator - This is how she earns her Servant's respect. Despite losing badly every single time, she continues to challenge him to duels. He eventually asked for the reasons behind why she just doesn't give up, despite the fact that everybody knows that a Master is no match for a Servant no matter how hard s/he tries.
  • Empathic Weapon - Her spear contains a fragment of her consciousness, and is thus a part of her.
  • Gratuitous German
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl - When compared to her Servant, Attila
  • Lady of War - With a Blade on a Stick.
  • Magic Knight - Kosviel isn't as skilled at alchemy as other Einzbern magi because of her spear training. She's just good enough, however, to craft high-quality bladed weapons suitable for combat.
  • Mook Maker - With her very high prana capacity, she is easily capable of creating an army of attack familiars.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity - Though apparently a Cloudcuckoolander, when the going gets tough, she gets dangerous.
  • Our Homunculi Are Different
  • Otaku Surrogate
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning
  • Shout-Out - An in-universe example. Kosviel is well-aware that Lancet's/Archerko's costume, which she wears, is reminiscent of Edward Elric's, and claps her hands to activate her magic circuits for transmutation spells, just for the sake of completing the image. She even creates Ed's trademark lance when she needs an instant weapon. This has led to the forum nickname "Fullmetal Einzbern".
  • White-Haired Pretty Girl
  • Younger Than They Look - Excepting Ilya, Homunculi are normally born in 'adult' form. Kosviel is ten years old.
Aela Atheling

"Frosty? I think you might suit that name better soon..."

A young woman who was born into the Corrain family. At the age of 7 she slit her own brothers throat and single handily caused the destruction of her family through a series of events. After that she was adopted into the Atheling family soon after and given thaumaturgy at the age of ten. Her goal is to undo the killing of her brother, as she believes it will not only save him but her older family as well.

Renard Aestling

"Blood isn't everything. Even the Barthomeloi probably had a few talentless morons in their oh-so glorious history, so what makes you think you're any better off?"

A 25 year old Fire-aligned mage who despite being from a 'young' family has a great deal of insight into the Mage Association and generally knows more than he lets on(or should), with his standard excuse being 'I read.' A bit jaded, but relatively good-natured and even-keeled so long as you don't push his buttons. He was more or less tossed into the War with little to no idea of what's going on, but then figured he may as well make the best of the situation. As such he has no real designs on the Grail as of yet, preferring to wait and see how things develop first.

Ray Rummo

"Hi, I'm Ray! It's nice to meet you!"

The third born to the Rummo families former leader and younger brother to the current, Ray was never forced into harsh magical training like his siblings. His days, in comparison, were carefree. He came to join the war when his best friend, Maarja, fell ill. His goal is to use the grail to cure her.

  • Blow You Away - His families specialty.
  • Cheerful Child
  • Determinator - Managed to travel across the Europe by himself to join the war so he could save his friend.
  • Failure Is the Only Option - Ray entered the war to gain the power of the grail to cure his friend Maarja. She died before he even reached the city. Subverted, as he can still revive her with the grail. If he wins.
  • Goggles Do Nothing - Rays don't have any particular function.
  • Improbable Age - He's the youngest master at the age of ten.
  • Infant Immortality - Averted, he has just as much chance of dying during the war as anyone else. His friend Maarja died before he even joined the war
  • Shout-Out - His command seal is a flaming skull wearing sunglasses.
  • Tagalong Kid
  • The Promise - Made one to his friend Maarja that he would find a cure for her. Subverted in that she died before he even reached the city
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Masters without Servants.

Veronica Vecchioromani

"This place screams with pain for a tragedy that is yet to be revealed."

Born in an old but quirky family of Magus Romas. Don't have a crest, but can divine things and improve their bloodline like that. She was a exceptionally talented one. Was jeopardized but suceeded in thriving. Had a political marriage. Was beaten by husband. Left him a wheelchair, and left to avoid the downfall. Tries to go low key as dust settles.


Mariselle Moreno

"So by war, you mean a really intense game of checkers, right? Right?!"

A 19 year old popstar who has been chosen to participate in the war. Eccentric, irrational, and easily frightened; she is a girl who is blissfully ignorant to what it means to be a master. Her dream is to bring about an age where witches can freely reveal their identity's without fear or persecution.

Profile still under construction.

Chris Carter

"The best choice to take, is the one that gets us out of here alive."


Servants

General tropes for Servants

Sabers

General tropes for Sabers

Uther Pendragon

"Call me Gorlassar."

Arturia Pendragon's father and the High King of Britannia. A Saber-class Servant partnered with Celestina, he is responsible for putting Caliburn in the stone from which his daughter Arturia drew it. As the original Pendragon, Uther's dragon attribute is much higher than Arturia's, and thus manifests as a defensive personal skill. He's in the war to resurrect the British Empire bigger and better.

  • Ahoge
  • Anti-Magic - Rank B
  • Armor-Piercing Attack - His sword, Caledfwlch.
  • Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons - He's the original Pendragon, after all. His Dragon Affinity boosts his already top-notch defense and protects him from status-lowering effects.
  • Kryptonite Factor - Anti-Dragon Weapons are even more affective against him than they are against Arturia.
  • Lightning Bruiser - Uther is a fast-moving big bruiser with a thick hide and a sword that almost completely ignores enemy defense. His primary weaknesses are his short range, and his weakness against anti-dragon weapons.
  • Only the Chosen May Wield - "Caliburn", of course, but gets more complicated due to Noble Phantasm Rules, resulting in the creation of Uther's Noble Phantasm "Caledfwlch" (Welsh for Caliburn), which is Caliburn before he stuck it in the stone. In other words, a prototype Noble Phantasm similar to the weapons found inside Gate of Babylon. Its full-power attack is basically a nerfed version of the one that kills Berserker in the Fate route, symbolic of the great power that it took for Uther to stick the sword into the stone.
  • Overprotective Dad - His signature implies that he might have been one had he not put Arturia up for adoption.
  • Parental Abandonment - Inverted. He entrusted his daughter to one of his knights because he was afraid the British wouldn't like the idea of a woman to rule them. When he got poisoned, he decided to resort to it anyway.
  • Patriotic Fervor - See Shout-Out below. Apparently, his profile subtly paints him as "Captain Britannia".
  • Red Baron - "Gorlassar" (which is Welsh for "Above Heaven"), "Dragon King"
  • Shout-Out - His profile is littered with struck-out "All Hail Britannia" quotes, and variations thereof.
  • Strong Family Resemblance - Invoked by his RPer, who uses the appearance of Saver, Saber's male archetype character.
Mordred

"History shallst be rewritten!"

Arturia's illegitimate "son", in fact a homunculus created by Morgan le Faye in order to usurp her kingdom. A Saber-class Servant partnered with Miguel, he is responsible for leading the uprising against Arturia and killing her. Thanks to a mix-up caused by the corruption of the Grail, he was implanted into a Servant vessel based on Arturia's body, thus turning him into a woman. She is in the war to get out of her 'father's' shadow by changing history.

Sigurd Fafnesbane

"You, lay a Hand on my treasure? I think not."

Sigurd Fafnesbane, the last Inheritor of the Volsung lineage. Best known for slaying the Dragon Fafnir, he was cursed twice-fold, once by the Dragon's presence, sustaining him, and again by the Andvarinaut, the essence of boundless greed. Sigurd Fafnesbane would later swear fealty to the land of Burgundy, only to be betrayed by his country. Yet, he feels a semblance of regret. He fights to remove himself from the Throne of Heroes... even if the world must burn for it.

Gaius Julius Caesar

"Let the dice be tossed."

Senator, Dictator, Conquer; all have been used to described Julius Caesar. Yes, that Julius Caesar. No, not Saber from EXTRA; that was Nero. He hates it when you get that wrong. Lived, from the age of thirty, as a successful political man and soldier. Years later, he experienced his downfall from a combination of love for Cleopatra/ his political enemies getting the best of him. His wish is to restore glory to Rome, and take over the world.

If the trope can be found on Julius's Trope page, then it won't be listed here.


Roland

"All I feel is in this sword"

Roland, nephew of Charlemagne, was the best paladin among the Franks. He is the wielder of the sacred sword Durandal, which is said to contain within its golden hilt one tooth of Saint Peter, blood of Saint Basil, hair of Saint Denis, and a piece of the raiment of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He is known for igniting his temples and liquifying his brains out of his ears as he blew the Oliphaunt three times, and for creating what is now known as 'La Brèche de Roland'. Brave, bold, and hot-tempered, Roland was considered a model for knights.

Ogier, The Dane

""I accept your challenge."

Tomoe Gozen

"Archers that are skilled with blades exist too de gozaru."

Profile still under construction.

Archers

General tropes for Archers

EMIYA

"-"

Yes, that Archer. He was summoned by Lumi Edelfelt using the same jewel that Rin used to summon him in the Fifth War. See his tropes on the respective sheet. Since Shirou is dead, we have no idea what he's fighting for.

Borjigin Temjin/GENGHIS KHAN

"It is not sufficient that I succeed. Everyone else must fail."

Genghis Khan the King of Kings, born as Temujin, arguably the greatest conqueror the world has ever know. He went from a unremarkable nomad to become the founder of one of the largest empire in human history. He is also know as one of the worst monsters in human memory, having personally ordered the deaths of hundreds of million of people across Asia. When he was alive he sought to reach the Truth of the World, to shape the Earth as he see fits. However he was killed by the magi before he could accomplish his goal. Now, he joins the war in order to finish what he started and to get revenge.


Houyi

"One good shot is all I need"

The legendary Chinese archer of lore, she's a soft spoken individual. A person with great compassion for humanity, she goes out of her way to help those in need. Her greatest feat was shooting down nine of the ten sun-birds that had wreaked havoc on the world. Her goal is to reunite with her wife, who is currently on the moon. It's a Long Story

Davy Crockett

"Sorrow, it is said, will make even an oyster feel poetical."

The legendary king of the wild frontier and archetypical mountain man, Crockett is one of the most mellow of the servants summoned. He is kindly and conversational to his allies, and even has some shades of The Mentor. Of course, to his enemies, he is a first class Determinator with a passion for Hot-Blooded speeches who never misses with his musket, affectionately named Bessie. Due to his death being in the lowest point in magical history, he is a lot weaker then most servants, however doesn't let that stop him from kicking ass.

Marian Fitzrobert

"You have enemies? good - It means you stood up for something, sometime in your life."

  • Determinator - To the point were one of her N Ps revolve around this concept.
  • Idiot Hero - Shows traits of this.
  • Just Like Robin Hood - Justified, since she was trained by him (or at least, one of the many Robin Hoods of lore)
  • Robin Hood - Was trained by one in archery and combat.
Martha Jane Cannary Bruke aka CALAMITY JANE

"Stop bothering me, or you might see a true Calamity."


Lancers

General tropes for Lancers

Brynhildr

"Death is a gift for some."

A daughter of Odin and one of the noblest of shield maidens that had walked the land, she slowly started to break down after going through different events throughout her life. By the time she served Odin as a Valkyrie, she had already become a bitter individual obsessed with the idea her idea of "justice". Her wish is the rebirth of the gods.


Saito Musashibo Benkei

"Letting you pass is the last thing I will do."

A warrior monk born in 1155, Benkei has never been a person to back down from a challenge. Outside of battle, he can be a fun guy to be around. Inside of battle, he's a bloody horror to see on the enemies side of the field. His goal is only to test his strength against the other servants.

Xenophon

Guan Yu

"I have followed the code, I have followed my lord, and that has made me content.”

Known as the Chinese God of War (and Righteousness), he is a man that does not like to be toyed with. A man full of morals, he hold a warriors honor in high regard and his word is his law. Though he's perfectly willing to break said word should the time call for it. His wish is aid his master (if their goal is just) and to wish for "world peace" himself. Should he not be able to accomplish this, then merely wishes to die together with his master.


Boudica Iceni

"You will see that in this battle you must conquer or die. This is a woman's resolve."

Known as the Warrior Queen of the Iceni tribe, this woman led a large revolution against her enemies who dared to threaten and take away her freedom. Despite losing in the end, her efforts were not in vain, and her story became a legend of its own. She wishes to live once again and hopefully serve as a better leader than she once was, or at least a better person. She is the Servant of Alice Harper.

Anne Bonny

"Let's put some perspective on things, shall we?"

A woman who was born the illegitimate child of an attorney, she didn't enjoy much of her early life.

Her wish is to win a second go at life. And have fun in the process.

Bedwyr

"I still serve."

His goal is to revive Arturia and serve her once more. Can't seem to understand that half the things he says in public can be taken the wrong way.

Spartacus

"I am no one's puppet."

Famed Gladiator who took it upon himself to escape captivity and raise an army amongst the slaves. He isn't quite the hero or villain that history painted him as, being more worried about his own skin then those who followed him. However, it is undoubtable that he is a brilliant tactician and strategist, managing to hold off the Roman Legions with nothing but an army of gladiators and slaves. He is mildly angry at the fact that he spent his life fighting for freedom only to find himself a slave once more.

The legendary blind prophet of greek myth, adviser to kings and men of great renown, seeker of truth who was blinded for his honesty. And mostly a grumpy, angry old man that hated his job.

Merlin Ambrosius

"Amuse me."

Uther's, and eventually Arturia's, court magus. A Caster-class Servant partnered with Seikou, he is a half-incubus prankster and skirt chaser who spends most of his time... well... playing pranks and chasing skirts. He's in the war just for the fun of it.

Imhotep

"What have you built, little man?"

Ancient Egyptian Polymath and one of the most intelligent and skilled men in antiquity; Imhotep held a vast number of positions from High Vizier to Egyptian King Djoser to High Priest of Heliopolis. He is most famous for designing the pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid in existence, and curing over 200 diseases thousands of years before Hippocrates was born.

Assassins

General tropes for Assassins

Goemon Ishikawa

"Sure thing, Master."

The legendary shinobi. An Assassin-class Servant partnered with Genessa, he is a master of the ninja arts, particularly in the many different ways to assassinate people. He has a pretty justified fear of oil (see below). Goemon fights for another shot at life.

Dr. Jacob Heller

"Are you afraid of the dark?"

Born in London, 1868, Dr. Jacob Heller is the youngest (date wise) servant to be fighting in the war. He was a serial killer in his former lifetime, officially recorded as the slayer of 11 girls. Unlike other heroes participating in the war, Dr. Heller had faded into history rather then dying in a spectacular fashion. He has no wish, only interested in inflicting more pain and suffering on to anyone he can get his hands on.

Also, he's Jack the Ripper.

  • Blue and Orange Morality - Subverted. Jack claims to adhere to this but really he's just evil.
  • Combat Sadomasochist - Non sexual example. He wants to be hurt as much as he wants to hurt other people.
  • Crippling Overspecialization - Even more so than traditional Assassins from Fate/Stay Night. In the daylight he is nearly as weak as a Servant can be. In the darkness he becomes an unstoppable murder machine.
  • Darkness Equals Death
  • For the Evulz - Tortures/Kills people for shits and giggles.
  • Jack the Ripper - The man himself ladies and gentleman.
  • Knife Nut - His weapon of choice.
  • Mad Doctor - His day job was being a Physician.
  • Manipulative Bastard - He's one of the most charming men you'll ever meet. Doesn't change the fact that he'll torture you the first chance he gets.
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast - "Jack the Ripper", Subverted in that he's actually one of the weakest servants in the war.
  • Nice Hat - See image above.
  • Omnicidal Maniac
  • Red Baron - Once more, "Jack the Ripper". And once again subverted, as he is still one of the weakest servants.
  • Serial Killer - This should be obvious.
  • Weak but Skilled - Most of his skills only work during certain times of the day. And even when they're at full power/potential, their still weaker in comparison to other servants powers. Is also horrible in a straight up fight (though this should be expected, given his class).
Saitou Hajime

"I was the only one of the Shinsengumi said to be immortal."


Hassan-i-Sabah XIX/Fatima Al-Faqadi

"I will not fail you again"

She's the last of the Hassans, who didn't really know she was a Hassan because she was conducted posthumously. She was trained at an early age by the Hashshashin, and manages to become one of the most talented assassin in the clan/organization. However a loss to her brother, the 18th Hassan, gave her an inferiority complex regarding her skills as an assassin. She died in an effort to delay the Mongolian horde from approaching the fortress Alamut, in order for the evacuation of the nearby villages to be completed. Her goal is to serve her master and making up for her failure in her last mission.

Chevalier D'eon

"Let us then live the life of children of God, and let us stop simply usurping that name. God makes clear whenever he pleases that he is the master of heart. He alone can change us; he alone must be glorified for our change; for allowing us to overcome prejudices from birth and habit."

An individual born in the 1700's, he was noted at a young age to have an effiminate facial and body structure. This was due to a lack of Testosterone running through his system. In short, a hermaphodite (and quiet aggitated by this fact). It later proved invaulable when he was sneaking around England as a spy for the French king. His Wish to go back in time and redo the day he published his letters, memories and properties of the French king aka Expose King Louis the 15th's plot to invade England.

Profile still under construction.

Lenneth Archimedes

"From the ancient of days, a legacy of genius."

Quoted from the woman herself. "I'm basically Kimblee, except my schtick is "melting things and people on the verge of death are beautiful because that's what being alive really looks like" rather than "screams of agony is music to me". Yeah. That about sums her up.

Catherine Trandor

"Shall I fix you up?"

The current heir of the Trandor family and one of the supervisors of the current Grail War. She was supposed to participate on the previous Grail War, but circumstances and coincidences denies her the opportunity. She accepted the job in Lucca in order to prevent another Fuyuki disaster, but secretly wanted to examine the grail prototype, unaware that the current grail is not the current Einzbern master.

Dominik Jaeger

"My strength isn't from my arms or legs, but from my courage and my soul."


Victoria Devereu

"Bo-ring."

Grumpy teenager who might've bitten off a bit more than she could chew by following Erin to Lucca. And she's also a wanted criminal. Since that's sort of important.

Kinou Kuroboshi.

"Though I did not know the place,
I set out for the land of my dreams
Having arrived at the land of my dreams,
I found I did not know the place"

Heir to a family of magi that, in their attempts to replicate Akasha, created a cheap (and evil) copy instead, Kinou was naturally destined to inherit their fate of keeping it under control. When it somehow manages to get around her mental shielding and kill everybody aboard a plane she was riding, she eventually ends up studying at the Sea of Estray to find a way to destroy it. After it kills her best friend there too, however, she starts Walking the Earth to continue on her search.

Her latest lead has brought her to Lucca, where she is drafted by Lord Ashley to work as an assistant supervisor.


The Church

Ciel

"-"

Yes, that Ciel. The Seventh member of the Burial Agency, she has been dispatched, along with two other agents, to supervise the Grail War. See the respective page for tropes.

Fujino Asagami

"Spin, spin, spin..."

An alternate version of that Fujino Asagami, she joined the church to live a solitary life as a nun after finishing high school. Unfortunately for her, they had other plans, and decided to use her power for the Burial Agency. Along with Ciel and a third Burial Agent, She agreed to be sent to supervise the Sixth War, mostly as a legitimate excuse to quench her thirst for killing. See the respective character page for more information.

Amadeo Giudotti

"It is written to love thy enemy and pray for those who persecute you. Then consider this tough love, for I shall be doing the persecuting."

Burial Agent number Four, Amadeo is a magus from a family that, in its quest for immortality discovered a way to stop physical aging. Unable to do the same to the aging of the soul, he cut a deal with The Church to give him additional research resources in exchange for his services in the Agency. Amadeo has been active for at least two hundred years, and has developed a twisted, sadistic sense of humor. He most eagerly accepted this latest mission to supervise the Grail War, because he'll have an excuse to kill any extra heretics that show up.

  • BFG - When the going gets tough, Amadeo whips out his semi-automatic grenade launcher that's loaded with reinforced grenades.
  • Charles Atlas Superpower - Par for the course of being a Burial Agent. He ups the ante, however, by having two centuries of fighting experience and training, which allows him to top even executors of Kotomine's level.
  • Church Militant
  • Creepy Cool Crosses
  • Dual-Wielding - In true Bruial Agent fashion, three Black Keys in each hand.
  • Four Is Death
  • Hyperspace Arsenal - See Rule of Three below.
  • Jumped At the Call.
  • Really Three Hundred Years Old
  • Rule of Three - Allegedly the name of a magecraft that he supposedly uses. It allows him to carry three times more Black Keys than physically possible, throw them three times faster, and allows them to 'magically' return to his Hyperspace Arsenal exactly three minutes after being thrown. This apparently parodies Ciel's abilities in the Tsukihime anime.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses
  • Status Buff - As if the high-level Charles Atlas Superpower weren't enough, Amadeo takes this even further by using Reinforcement magecraft on himself, the grenades in his grenade launcher, and his Black Keys.
  • Weak but Skilled - He doesn't have the Seventh Holy Scripture, superior magical abilities, or regenerating powers like Ciel, Mystic Eyes of Distortion like Fujino, or any other quirky powers that the other members of the Burial Agency have, but Amadeo makes up for it by being just that damn good.
Cardinal Vezzoni

"I intend to take every measure possible to ensure the success of this operation."

The leader of the Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament and one of the bigwigs of The Church, the Cardinal personally came to Lucca, bringing with him a veritable army of Executors and Knights.
