Shirou Emiya
Good boy, crap magus. A previously relatively normal highschooler until he was thrust into a grail war. Currently attempting to save everyone he can, instead of everyone in general. A member of the archery club and a third rate magus, he may be in far over his head.
Medea of Colchis - (Shirou's Servant)
Witch with trust issues. A lot of trust issues. Slowly warming up to Shirou. Magic teacher #1
Mordred - (Shirou's Servant)
A madwoman, constantly bleeding from a gaping wound in her stomach. Doesn't say much, but is continually hunting for 'Arthur'. In battle she seems to regain some semblance of Sanity.
Circe of the Nameless Isle
Witch causing as much chaos as possible, is still alive from the Age of Gods which may or may not be a problem. Magic teacher #2
Ayako Mitsuzuri
Shirou's girlfriend, tomboy, fellow member of the archery club. May now be a magical girl.
---
Taiga Fujimura
Teacher at Shirou's school, in far, far over her head. She wasn't ever supposed to know about magic or be part of the grail war. Now she's rather injured and just trying to keep Shirou from getting himself killed.
Assassin - (Taiga's Servant)
A very friendly woman who seemingly can disappear from notice at will, seems to be plotting something or other... with Taiga specifically.
---
Sakura Matou
Childhood friend of Shirou, a quiet girl not used to being the center of attention. Was used to summon a servant for the grail war, who by all appearances killed her abusive family. Has been dealing with a lot of crap lately.
Archer - (Sakura's Servant)
A very friendly man who hasn't talked to Shirou much, but whenever he does he usually gives him some form of advice.
---
Rin Tohsaka
Sakura's sister, and a normally friendly Magus who has turned her lot in with Kotomine Kirei after several bad turns in this grail war.
Saber - (Rin's Servant)
???
---
Illya Einzbern
Shirou's sister, normally not this friendly. They only spoke briefly, but hit it off rather well.
Kotomine Kirei
The local priest, as far as Shirou knows anyway. In charge of the grail war and has been very busy doing so.
Raiga Fujimura
Local mob boss, he is letting Shirou stay in his house since Shirou's house was destroyed. Has plainly told Shirou that if he doesn't handle the grail war. Raiga will.
---
Fujimaru Ritsuka
A time traveler apparently, looking for her missing servant. Has shacked up with Shirou after he stated he would help her.
---
Unknown Servants
The Monster
A beast in the guise of a man, seemingly attacks without rhyme or reason. Its master is unknown.
Brihannala
An apparent archer who attacked without warning at the church and killed over a dozen people before Shirou narrowly escaped. Her master is unknown.
---
Oberon (Annatar) Is messing up the clock tower, the consequences of this are not known. Nor is it known if he is part of this grail war. Summoned by Marisbury Animusphere.

Ongoing plotlines.
Shirou is learning magic from Circe and Medea, both are teaching him how to be an actual Magus after Kiritsugu deliberately crippled him in that regard.
Shirou has TWO command seals remaining for Mordred, THREE remaining for Medea.
Rin has thrown her lot in with Kirei, the extent of this is unknown.
Berserker (Mordred) had a complete breakdown after Shirou witnessed one of her dreams.
There is at least two servants with unknown masters, and one is seemingly going on random rampages.
Fujimaru's servant is missing, they got seperated when they traveled here.
Annatar is doing... something in England, and it has so far affected Luvia, Kadoc, Reines, and Ophelia. Kadoc and Reines accepted rings from him.
There will be significant downtime between the HGW and the GHGW. Sauron is coming, but he's scouting. So plenty of time for training, character 'sidequests' and the like.
Yes that means more Medea content. Quest doesn't end with Sauron gone anyway, there'll be quite a few post quest chapters and then epilogue.
The entire premise of the quest was summoning Mordred from the start.
If we have chosen Bazzet on the very first vote instead of Medea, how different things would have been/what would have been some of the plot points that would happen?
Are we going to get to see any more greek servants? (could even be in a dream sequence) Mo was simultaneously one of the most exciting reveals, but also a bit disappointing for me considering I'd be missing my favorite berserker
Has there been any Vote that totally took you by surprise the direction it went? Like totally didn't saw it coming that we went with that? Aside from the "avoid Rin" of course.
Because the readers were having Shirou suggest she do it and he has no concept for Jaguarman existing. And if they were suggesting she do it the voters have no control over people that aren't Shirou.
Does Shirou even know about the concept of Noble Phantasms?
Would you believe this was started as a shot in the dark idea of 'what if Shirou got Mordred' and now here we are?
I'm on a bit of a break due to suffering burnout due to my schedule, and I'm shuffling things around. Don't worry, this story isn't going anywhere. I'm just reading the mood. Some things have gone in ways I've expected, others not. Some things have been planned from the start. (Annatar being summoned), others were last moment (Medea being added to the starting vote). I try not to write by the seat of my pants but you don't always win those. As it stands though, we are approaching the final arc, it's gonna be a long final arc mind, but still a final arc. Some shenanigans are still coming, some fun servant concepts (I hope!), and well, beyond just dealing with Warp!Cu you still have to defeat Brihanalla before you even think about dealing with Annatar.
So I'm just checking on the mood to make sure ya'll are still enjoying yourselves.
