A relic said to be able to grant whoever possess it any wish their heart desires.
Ten years ago, a War was fought for that same relic. Seven Magus, called Masters, fought in battle for a chance to obtain such a prize.
It was called The Holy Grail War.
Ten years ago, after so much blood was spilled, after so much was sacrificed, the last War, the 4th incarnation of the same, ended without winners, with only death and misery for those fools who decide to partake in it.
It was a War fought for Ideals, for Devotion, for Obsession, for the simple pleasure and promise of Death.

It was called The Holy Grail War.
It was not fought between the Magi; however, it was fought between seven spirits called Servants, seven [Heroic Spirits] confined by the boundaries of the seven classes:
Saber, the [Heroic Spirit] of the sword
Lancer, the [Heroic Spirit] of the lance
Archer, the [Heroic Spirit] of the bow
Rider, the [Heroic Spirit] of the mount
Caster, the [Heroic Spirit] of magic and spells
Berserker, the [Heroic Spirit] of madness and rage
Assassin, the [Heroic Spirit] of assassination

--And now, it begins once again…
Please, tell me.
Oh, futures witness of this Sacred Ritual, which will forever change (and promises to end,) the lives of those who shall now fight on it…
Please, allow this simple soul to ask of you--
Which shall be the Victim/Corpse/Prisoner of Fate/Eyes you whose you will see this Tragedy/Tale unfold?
...
[] The Sword
You remember flames, you remember the heat, and you remember the screams… And you remember that smile, you remember that Dream he left for you to hold up… And now, with the strength you have chosen, you shall now cut through this silent night, with an unstained courage… You will honor His Dream, and, once this Night ends, the tomorrow you seek shall now be on your youthful hands…
[X] The Nobody
You are a faceless nobody, and what else would you be? You lack power, you lack influence, and if that wasn't enough, you also lack Time… The clock runs mercilessly against you, you can feel your memories, fading all too soon… But you're Will is undeniable, your intellect is up to the task, even if everything is useless, you shall not go without a fight…
[] The Magus
You wish anything but to fight, you have lost way too much in this ritual, people you love, people you looked up to, family and friends… All gone, due to this cursed Night, your only wish is for the peace of never having to fight… But alas, Fate is a cruel Mistress. So now, with the choice taken out of your hands, you must face the upcoming night, even if it means having to fight your fears, when the time comes, you shall come alive of this carnage…
...
And thus, with your Puppet/Testimony chosen, May The Holy Grail Shall Bless Your Path, Oh, My Lord…

A 17th year-old young man who studies at Homurahara's High School that at first look doesn't look like anything special.
In reality, he's the heir of a Magus Bloodline and a Master in the 5th Incarnation of The Holy Grail War.
He suffers from a degenerative condition in his brain, which will inevitably leave him brain dead at the age of 27 at most, thus, he decided to bet his life in the War to have the chance of changing his Fate.

Mana Output : 3 Units per Circuit (54 Units in Total)
Origin : Adversity/Determination
Element : Fire
Reinforcement: C-

Structural Grasp: D
He is capable of understanding the basic stucture and materials of the more mundane objects he has in his hands.
Graduation Air: D+
He is capable of creating solid, yet hollow, copies of the more mundane objects he has seen in the last hour.
Bounded Field: B
He has shown a great deal of competence in the manipulation of Bounded Fields, being able to create Fields both highly resistant and difficult to detect, while at the same time showing a high capability to break through foreing Fields.
Memory Manipulation: B-
He has shown to be capable of manipulating memories of almost 24 hours old, and he is capable of imposing ideas or suggestions in the mind of his target and making them believe that those were their ideas. He is still incapable of manipulating multiple targets at once, though.
Breathing and Walking: E+
Key concept in both Magecraft and Martial Arts. Though mainly affecting one's physical fitness, it also plays a role in the strength of nature interference. The absorption of outer energy (breath of life) to connect your inner world to the outer world. This skill can take years to learn.

Traits
Survivors Will: No matter what, you are going to live, even if you have to drag your broken body to victory, you shall Survive. (When your life is in mortal danger, it allows for a failed roll to be rerolled once with a reduced penalty. Allows the taking of certain actions, but at the cost of locking others.)
Perceptive: You are capable of noticing little things with a greater clarity than most people, you can use that to your advantage. (It gives an extra d6 when rolling for perception. It allows to take notice of ceirtain details in a situation.)
Inqusitive: You are a Magus, trusting someone without a good hook on them isn't a good idea for most members of the magical community. You are far more 'Trusting' that most Magi, but you still are rather protective if you don't know the other party's intentions before hand, so you can make the mistake of letting that cloud your judgement for searching too much into something. (Allows for the capability of noticing ceirtain traits and actions performed for people that you don't consider trustable, but it can also make you point out more proofs in favor of your lack of confidence in the subjec rather than the ones in favor. At some points, it may require a dice roll to realize ceirtain actions.)
Skills
Bajiquan: C
Chinese Martial Art based in dealing explosive strikes at short range with elbows, shoulders, etc. This skill had been fused with Thaumaturgical mysteries to form a even more lethal style of combat. At this point, you can now be considered a capable fighter.

Magecraft: B
Capable of using orthodox Thaumaturgy. During his life, Emiya was a third-rate Magus at best, being able to replicate the use of simple spells like "Reinforcement", "Projection", "Alteration" with the capability of crafting bounded fields of average quality, and finally a certain level of skill in the use of Runes. Regardless, his ability with "Projection" allows him to recreate any bladed weapon, including the components, to near perfection, also allowing him to copy the abilities of the original owner. This Skill is boosted by the Caster Class.
Capable of keeping track of fast-moving object within a range of four kilometers. Nameless acquires this by applying Reinforcement to his eyes.The plus modifier is attained with instantaneous application of Magecraft.
This is the Skill given to the man who spend his entire life combating anything that was considered 'Evil' for the rest of the World, and thus, he earned this Skill by becoming 'The incarnation of Justice' in the eyes of the World. This Skill reduces the opponents Parameter by one Rank if they have the 'Evil' Alingment.
Territory Creation: D(EX)
Due to the fact the he lacked a permanent Workshop in life, this Skill would normally be severly reduced. However, due to the fact that a Reality Marble can be considered not only borderline True Magic, but also as a 'Workshop' of sorts, this Skill can reach the EX Rank with ease.
While he was never an expert craftsman of Mystic Codes, he did indeed made use of them during life, and was forced to learn at least the basics of their creation. When the Item in question fall under the category of 'Sword', then this Skill reaches the A Rank.
Unlimited Blade Works: Infinite Creation of Swords (E-A)
A powerful Reality Marble that allows the recreation of any Bladed weapon that the user has ever seen, in life or beyond, with minimal degradation. And at the same time allows the user to copy the skill and abilities of the original 'Owner' of the respective weapon. This is the Ultimate Answer to a man who lived his life by and as a 'Sword'. It is required an Aria for it's deployment
"I am the bone of my Sword
Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood
I have Created over a thousand Blades
Unknown to Loss
Nor known to Gain
I have wistood Pain to Create many Weapons, Waiting for one's arrival
I hold no regrets, this is the only Path
My whole life always was Unlimited Blade Works!
Inside this Reality Marbel, the recreation of Divine Constructs becomes possible, with the permission of the Owner.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excalibur Image: Sword of the Illusory Victory (A)
This is a recreation of the original 'Last Phantasm', the Holy Sword Excalibur, only useable within the confines of Unlimited Blade Works.
This recreation works on the basis of being crafted by The World (e.g. Caster's Reality Marble) when it's Owner faces an opponent that menaces it's existance.
It recreates, even if at a infinitely lower scale, the power of The Sword That Will Protect The World, in order to be used at his Owner's call.

"—I apologize, _________-san, but the result of your test were…" The Doctor was clearly uncomfortable, and to be honest, in this kind of situation, who wouldn't be?
(To tell someone, with irrefutable proofs, that in the next few years they would not only be forced into the bed of an hospital, but that they would also not only lose their motor capabilities…)
"—we have some medicaments that can slow down the symptoms, but I'm afraid that that's the most they can do, if the results are right…" The Doctor looked right at the boy's face.
'He's no older than 14…' Thought The Doctor with pity, all that life in front of him, all that potential… now that kid would never know all the life's has to offer.
(But that they would also end up as nothing more than a vegetable, with their brain activity slowly dying out, and that person would be completely powerless to stop it…)
"…If our estimations are correct, with the regular use of the prescript medicine, your condition should be stable until at least your twenties…" The Doctor sighed; here comes the hard part…
"The estimate is that the symptoms should start appearing at the latest date being you at 22 years old…
--We believe that the need for hospitalization would come two years later, at that point is almost sure that many of your motor functions will begin to fail.
Is at this point where we believe, the degeneration of your mental capabilities will start"
The Doctor then looked into the eyes of the Child in front of him to see if He was able to understand his words
(--I felt sick for a moment, trying to understand the complicated words that the man in front of me had just spoken.)
"Ah" Was the only response that he got from The Child.
(…'Seriously, what kind of lame reaction was that?' You may say, but please have some mercy on me, I was in shock.)
"—In conclusion," he said, ready to drop the news on The Child "we believe that you have between until 26 or 27 years old before the degeneration in your brain reaches levels that can be classified as 'Brain Dead'.
(His words were cold and to the point, but I couldn't detect any malice coming from this man…
And thus, my time limit as a sentient being in this world was set in stone.)
The Doctor looked into the eyes of The Child in front of him, he could see confusion, then he could see understanding, and finally—
He could see fear as realization dawned on him.
He sighed, this is the part he hated about his job, delivering the news that there would be no cure, no hope, no future.
"'I'm sorry," It made no sense to apologize, he wasn't at fault for anything about this Child's Illness, but still, it felt the right thing to do so" I can only say you this…
(And there wouldn't be anything to do about it; nothing would change that deadline,)
Don't waste the time you have left, I know this is a worthless advice, but please—
(The only hope for me,)
Enjoy what little life you will have,
(Was to pray for a [Miracle],)
Kishinami-san"
(To change my Fate—)
And with those words The Doctor led the Child out of his office in silence… Trait Unlocked! Survivors Will

-->[X] You are Hakuno Kishinami
I woke up with a jolt.
Immediately after that I realized—
I had once more managed to fall asleep in my seat, just after classes had ended.
I sighed, and looked at the window at my side, and noticed how late it was. The sky was now a bright orange; obviously, my lack of sleep was catching up with me.
I looked at the reason of my lack of sleep in these recent days—
My hand was now covered by bandages, supposedly because I burned my hand while preparing a bento for lunch.
I slowly removed the bandages, and I was immediately able to distinguish the faint Red glow in the back of my hand.
ACommand Seal.
The proof of my right to battle in The Holy Grail War.
Now the only question was if I was Willing to do what was necesary to win...
I attempt to remember what I managed to gather about the previous War.
Some of the families that participated in it were the Sajyous, one of the three founding families who created the Grail in the first place. Which Servant did they summoned is still unknown, but it is believed to be Saber.
The Matous, another of the founding families, it is believed that they were the summoners of Caster.
And finally, there were the Einzberns, the summoners of Archer.
Their identities are a mistery to me.
Anyways, within the seven classes there are some that are highly mana taxing on the user...
Rules:
D = 3 Units of Mana per Circuit
C = 5 Unit per Circuit
B = 7 Unit per Circuit
It would be safer for me to be on the side of caution, my reserves are average, a low consumption Servant like Caster or Assasin would be better suited for me.
Regardless, I quickly took your belongings and set on my way home.
But when I was exiting the bulding I've met with a Familiar Face...
...
[] A Red-headed young man...(Lore bonus! Son of the Magus Killer)
It is the Kishinami Magical Crest, It has knowledge of Runes, Curses, and Healing Magecraft. Besides, the boost in your magical reserves will indeed be useful...
[] A Catalyst...
A catalyst to summon an specific [Heroic Spirit], sadly, you don't know who this will call, it will roll a d100. Who knows? You may summon Gilgamesh!
[X] Some Mana-filled gems...
These are gems filled with mana, they were brought from some Magus family famous for their Jewelcraft. Using these during your summoning, the taxation from the rest of the Grail War shall be reduced, even more, some Parameters of your Servant shall be upgraded...
...
AN: Well, here we go, it took me a little more time than expected, but I think this is fine...
And for those who noticed the detail of the 'Mana Units', they are more than it should be for an average Magi in the Fate timeline... Well, let's just say that we are in a rather... Strange timeline.
Completely average eh... that is honestly better than I was expecting. So I'd say we're on the same level as Waver?
[X] A nervous girl with glasses...
[X] Some Mana-filled gems...
If we were stronger I would have considered the magic crest but in the end the catalyst and gems are better. For an average mage the best hope they have is getting a strong servant. The catalyst could be very good but the randomness turns me off. It's probably better to go with reliability and choose the gems.
