Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Sumiteru Masao
Nicknames: Sumi-san, Sumi-kun
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Birth Date: September 17
Highschool Level: Senior
History: The Sumiteru family was an offshoot of the Matou family of magi which specialized in the development and manipulation of boundary fields. While they were small, barely one or two members, the Matou blood did run in their veins. Over the years through a combination of selective breeding and the traditional inheritance of the Magic Crest, the Sumiteru family became capable of having a child that could compete in the Holy Grail War and have some chance of victory.
Masao Sumiteru was that child since before he was even born. His mother was the niece of a Tohsaka that had married out of her family hoping to escape the responsibility of a magus. His father, the head of the Sumiteru family and inheritor of the Crest. He was raised to be a magus before a man, and grew up almost as comfortable with an Azoth dagger as with a bottle.
Because of this he was very withdrawn with his "normal" life, rarely making friends and usually burying his nose in whatever books he could find. He developed his love of reading for specifically this purpose.
This habit continued until he was 13 years old. He heard rumors of a student, Okitsugu Tomou, and how his eyes burned like hellfire; how they seemed to rip into one's very soul. Acting on a hunch he set up a defensive boundary field around his eyes, and sought out the hellish gaze.
He did not falter-it was as he thought, Okitsugu was a magus. The two became fast and best friends, learning from each other.

Family:
-Father (Sumiteru Toju, 44 )
-Mother (Sumiteru Yaeko, 38 )
Magic Specailty: Boundary Fields
Element: Shielding
Personality: Masao is quiet and observant-in public, he even appears to be shy. He is fiercely determined to win the Holy Grail War and earn respect for the Sumiteru family, however. He has an "as it comes" attitude towards life-not exactly lazy, not exactly enthusiastic. The one exception is when he is studying magic, and when he does it nearly consumes him.

~Appearance~

Height: 5'11''
Weight: 140 lbs
Hair: Red
Eyes: Bright Orange (Wears contacts, natural color is green)
Clothing: Standard high school uniform when in public, dark blue and black casual dress in private.
Physical Description:


Magic Crest: A spiral within a spiral, similar to the double-helix of DNA tattooed on his left side and up to his armpit.
Command Spell: Three circles on his inner palm, each inside another.

Spells:
Tectum Ex Levis (Shield from Light)
This technique creates a personal boundary field around the users, bending light around the field and keeping it from touching Masao. This results in a form of invisibility. Those capable of detecting magical energy can still get a general idea of where Masao is, though they cannot see him.

Tectum Ex Vulnero (Shield from Harm)
This technique stacks five separate, small boundary fields around one point of Masao's body, normally his arm. These fields repulse anything trying to enter them. This results in an ability to block most regular attacks and several weak ones. As attacks are used, Tectum Ex Vulnero falls apart, becoming weaker as each shield is destroyed.

Tectum Ex Magus (Shield from Magic)
This technique is a large-area boundary field. Within this field, 'unapproved' magic has it's potency decreased (sometimes drastically and sometimes barely at all, based on the power of the spell) as the boundary field saps away the magical energy of the magic. 'Approved' magic comes from a magus with a specific rune on their body somewhere. This rune is unique to individual instances of Tectum Ex Magus. If the rune is on the magus' body, all of that magus' magic is 'approved' and will not be drained.

~Servant~

Name: Henry McCarty
Rank: B-
Nicknames: Billy the Kid
Age: 21 at death
Gender: Male
Birth Date: November 23, 1859
History: ((Providing a link for everyone's reading pleasure-there's a lot! Billy's Wiki))
Servant Type: Archer
Weapon: Archer fires bullets of semisolid magical energy as his primary form of combat. He does not need to use a weapon to do this. The bullets come in varying shapes and sizes, each corresponding to the attack's relative strength.
He also carries what appears to be a normal six shot revolver as his Noble Phantasm.
Personality: Sarcastic and cocky to a fault, Archer believed himself to be "The Fastest Hand in the West." and won't listen to anyone tell him he's wrong. He is an archetypal anti-hero, not completely uncaring about the lives of others so long as he gets his goal but unwilling to actively aid them and willing to use them if necessary.
Special Abilities:
-Magical Manipulation[A]: Archer is capable of manipulating raw magical energy though barely any actual magic. This provides his primary mode of attack. This also gives him the ability to create ammunition for his Noble Phantasm (see below). He may only make one round a day, two if he chooses to deplete himself entirely for that day.
-Independent Action[B+]: Archer is capable of acting without a Master, though at a severely weakened form. He cannot regenerate his own magic energy, and gains very little from the souls of others. He is also forced into a human form.
-Mind's Eye (True)[C+]: Archer is capable of analyzing a situation and deciding the best course of action. This ability makes it easier for Archer to turn around combat, though it is not enough in and of itself.

Noble Phantasms:
Peacemaker, The Shot That Won the West[B+]
-Archer's revolver fires crystallized magical energy created by his Magical Manipulation ability, loaded into one of six chambers. These rounds are created BEFORE a battle and not when Peacemaker is used. Because of this, Peacemaker does not take any magical energy from Archer when used.
-Peacemaker reverses cause and effect, resulting in an unavoidable attack similar to Cuchulain's Gae Bolg. Unlike Gae Bolg, however, if Archer knows the full name of his target, he may call out the target's name and where the bullet will go. Otherwise, where he points is where he will hit no matter how the target tries to defend.
-The only way to avoid the attack is to be incredibly lucky, to the point of altering fate itself.
-EG. Archer is fighting the Lancer spirit Lu Bu. He uses Peacemaker, calling out it's true name and aims at Lu Bu's spear arm. Lu Bu tries to block, but the bullet pierces the spear and into his shoulder.
-EG. Archer is fighting the Saber spirit Arturia Pendragon (King Arthur). Prior to this fight, though, he spied on Saber and learned her full name. He uses Peacemaker, calling it's true name followed by "Arturia Pendragon. Heart!" Arturia, unless she is incredibly lucky, is shot through the heart.

Tombstone, All is Decided in an Eyeblink[A]
-Tombstone is a Reality Marble resembling the old Wild West town of it's name-or specifically, one dusty empty street of it.
-Inside of this Reality Marble, Archer may freely manipulate the distance between himself and his opponent. Other than this ability he cannot alter the area, himself, or any inside. Tombstone takes an insanely large amount of magical energy and can possibly kill Archer and Masao if used more than once or twice.
-EG: Archer is fighting another Archer spirit, Robin Hood. Robin proves better with a bow, so Archer uses Tombstone. Robin is sucked in but keeps fighting. Robin's arrow is fired, but Archer makes himself five thousand miles away. The arrow falls off and misses. Archer shoots back-and makes himself five feet from Robin, too close to dodge.

~Appearance~

Height: 5'9''
Weight: 115 ls
Hair: Dirty Blonde/Brown
Eyes: Blue
Physical Description: Lithe and with a slight build, Archer obviously relies on speed over strength. He wears a dark tan duster, covering brown pants, thick-soled black leather boots with wicked pentagram-shaped spurs, and a leather jerkin over his chest. A classical 10-gallon hat rests on top of his head-no matter how fast he moves, strangely.
Weapons Decription:

They're IC auto-hits. However, I won't force anyone to be hit and die instantly. Anyone can claim they are lucky enough to have fate say "Nah, not feeling it" and avoid it.

arturia....no complaining miss EX. ill point to the fact that IC noble phantasms are supposed to be like that.

...ill admit if it was anything other than fatestay night id say it was godmodding too. like he said. Lancer...who didn't get killed by it. Both archer AND saber avoided the always lethal strike. ICly its a sure kill. ooc he already said that its not and i know him well enough that hes not gonna spam a noble phantasm.

Idk, Im kinda new, but I know Mvid from a Bleach server on NWN, so ill speak on this matter.

Games are fun. We play them because they are fun. Players make the game. And the game is made by players. Admins work for the players. Rule's Lawyering does nothing but make people mad, and you lose players. Lose players and you lose the game. (I just lost the game btw)

As for the auto hit, so what? hit.. big deal. If you're gonna go so far as to say your character being injured is a huge deal, then why play or expect to be injured. As it seems like you're going on about not being hurt, and that this threatens some dream of being invincable. I personally, dont see anything wrong with it as long as the damage isnt so massive it's auto-win. There's a difference between two things there. If taking a hit is so threatening.. maybe your character shouldnt be ranked so strong if in actuality its that weak?

Dunno, just my change in the bucket.

Mm-hmm... thank you Ventro, for explaining better than I^^ you are most definitely right with the 'description' part... also, 'jake'. i'll tell you something^^ mdbitsgato^^ why don't you pm me to know what it means.

With all due respect, truly, I don't understand what you mean by an Out of Character weapon and and In Character one. The only time you'd use the weapon is when you are in character, and therefore, what is the use of an Out of Character one?

Basically what I meant is that what I wrote was a description of Peacemaker looking at it as a character would. So from, say, Artemis' perspective, it would seem to be unavoidable. However, OOCly (that is for YOU, Arturia razz ) I won't force anyone to actually be hit by it. Peacemaker (and also Gae Bolg) were both unavoidable physically, but if the servants were lucky enough (which incidentally, both his targets were) than the attack will fail anyway. Since we don't have a randomness factor here, like die rolls and the like, anyone can say they're lucky enough to avoid it. That's what I meant, sorry if I confused you. smile



Bold faced for truth! Yes, if you can stay out of Peacemaker's line of fire after the name is called, the attack will NOT hit you! And if your abilities can absorb mana (though I would say absorbing a B rank Noble Phantasm would be too difficult to do in the time it takes for the bullet to leave the gun >.>) than the attack can be stopped! BUT~! If the attack is fired, and the target is lined up, and no one is around to absorb it, the only defense (Again, looking at it from an IC perspective) is luck.

Also, you didn't read correctly with regards to Lancer. razz Here's a link to his Noble Phantasm.
