    BlackHadou

    Bunny-Sensei
    Tomorrow. A curious word. The days by which the Association of Magi referred to tomorrow as assured have waxed and waned. In preparation for the inevitable day, the organization known as Fenis Chaldea, the Security Organization for Securing the Future of Man, was founded. However, since tomorrow is not assured due to the Calamity that will Fall from the Stars, even in the future it is not certain that humanity will still exist.

    Tomorrow. A cursed word. A name for something that may never come.
    -The Memoirs of Lord Yggdmillennia

    The halls of Chaldea were cold. That was the first thing one in the building would come to understand. It was a hidden base, one sealed deep within the depths of the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica. Technically, it was the subject of over one hundred different little agreements, but those within found the goings of regular mortals either inconsequential or unimportant.

    After all, the world faced a calamity beyond which any person had ever seen. The Great Threat from Beyond the Stars had been detected once more, the beast known as the Scarlet Calamity. The day would soon arrive that the world would be in dire peril. Indeed, to many, the world was already in dire peril. The enemy had struck first, struck hard and struck repeatedly.

    "If the world faces one more Armageddon where the enemy fights by attacking multiple points of time, we might as well just accept there's a lottery for it."

    "Look on the bright side. It justifies the precautions Lord Yggdmillennia made."

    "I don't want his precautions justified. The arse just didn't want to hire more staff."

    Within the depths of Chaldea, the majority of the staff had already been slain by the enemies first strike. The temperature control had been obliterated in an instant by saboteurs, and along with it, the majority of Chaldea's staff had been either freezing to death or had frozen to death. It was a shockingly effective method of defeating ones opponents.

    Non-essential staff had been put into stasis to conserve what little heat was left. In a bitter, ironic twist, it was easier to prevent the world from affecting a person then it was to keep them warm.

    The main control room was manned by what was best called a skeleton staff. In the centre of the small crowd was two people, a man with pinkish blond hair who was hurriedly validating the vitals of those in stasis, and a young man, almost a boy, with girlish features and a huge, fanciful cape over his shoulders.

    "Do you really need more staff?" The blond asked. The boyish man took a moment to ponder, his hand gliding over a nearby computers keyboard, his eyes narrowing at the data.

    "Well, yes. If the enemy is going to try and murder this little organization at the day of its inception, then we will need more staff. A lot of them." He quipped back. "Narrowed down your list yet?"

    "I have a few options, but I'm leaning towards one in particular to wake up. They were injured in the temperature control explosion, though."

    "Hardly an issue. The summoning infusion will deal with that." The boy's voice took a turn for the grumpy, as he hopped onto a table. "We need someone with a resilient spirit. The rest is inconsequential."

    "Leonardo, you are asking me to consign someone to death here. Let me work." Leonardo rolled his eyes as the blonde continued, kicking his feet absently on the side of the table.

    "Death is a release for some." He muttered. "For others, it is a curse."

    "Philosophy again?"

    "I have nothing but time right now, Roman." He admitted. "I could gesticulate as to the nature of the enemy, but that would be a waste of time."

    "Have you selected a Servant for them?"

    "I have some ideas, but not until you actually pick a person." Leonardo admitted. "Come on, Roman. We need a person."

    "We need someone who can be trusted to save the world. I'm making a lot of guesses here." Roman shot back. "I'm going as fast as I can."

    "Well I can't move until you pick."

    "Enough." Both men looked to the side, Leonardo snickering as the aged form of Lord Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia, better known as the poor bastard consigned to leading Chaldea during this time of relative peace, spoke up. "Surely you two have work to do besides just heckling each other?"

    "Nope, boss." Leonardo was unrepentant as he spoke up, flamboyantly flicking his cape. "Not a thing. Summoning circle is ready for infusion and more then that would require that Roman give me a body."

    "Then give him a body." Darnic muttered. "After all, it's not like the soul will survive intact."

    "It will influence the person that results, though." Roman shot back. "You surely know this."

    "Influence, maybe." Darnic retorted. "That's why we have Ruler. You overthink it."

    "She'll die if you make her use that too much." Roman's eyes narrowed. "I wo-" Whatever he was about to say was cut off by Leonardo's hand.

    "Optimally, we'd rather use such powers to assist us in surviving." Leonardo shot back. "Have you nailed down when the enemy is trying to delete you?"

    "Ignoring the pleasure you derive from this, they are attacking us at our conception. Trifas, in the year 2003." Darnic shot back. "The days of the Great War."

    "The days where you pursued segregation from the Clock Tower." Leonardo continued. "How did you avoid execution, anyway?"

    "... They don't call me silver tongued for nothing." Darnic admitted, groaning. "I suppose you will wish to go on site to lend additional support?"

    "Unless you can come up with a compelling reason for me to remain here." Leonardo folded his hands under his chin, staring at Darnic. "You know more then you are letting on."

    "... Time travel is impossible." He answered. "At least, true, genuine, change the future time travel. After all, such changes retroactively change the present."

    "Then you already know who Roman picks?"

    "... Maybe." Darnic snorted. "The enemy we face is very different then what we would normally consider a mere blip of a Holy Grail. We face an enemy that clearly sees not the present, but all time as individual locations to travel to."

    "Yet we can fight back due to the properties of the Ross Ice Shelf. Clever, but I don't believe you for a moment."

    "I need not your belief or trust. Those will come on their own." Darnic shot back darkly. "Roman, your decision? Our window to send a party back in time is closing."

        • Name: Bella Arkesis
          True Name: Karna
          Height: 5'7
          Weight: 61kg

          Alignment: Neutral Good
          Attribute: Heaven
          Region: India/Chaldea
        • Strength: C
          Constitution: D

          Magical Power: B -> D
          Luck: D
          Noble Phantasm: ???
        • Magic Resistance D
          Cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy. Since the effect is low, the owner must be careful not to be the subject of high-thaumaturgy or other sorcery. Due to deposition, the effect improves against the sacraments of the church.

          Independent Action B
          The ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from one's Master; the ability that allows for action even in the absence of the Master. It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving magical energy and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.

          Since the Master is 'Ruler', the flow of magical energy can be inconsistent from Chaldea. As such, this skill is invaluable for battlefield operations.
        • Discernment of the Poor C
          The ability to see the character of others and discern their attributes. Originally, a skill possessed by Karna, and as a result, the rank is lowered. In a sense, it is the ability to grasp the true character of another from their voice and actions. Fundamentally, it is impossible to be directly lied to, although the skill fails to detect half-truths.

          Magical Burst (Flame) B-
          An increase in performance caused by infusing one's weapons and body with Magical Energy and instantly expelling it. Simply put, recreating the effect of a jet burst by expending large amounts of Magical Energy. For Bella, the element of the magical burst is expressed as fire. The effect is lowered due to the nature of the human body. Even granted resistance to fire due to Karna's latent divinity, activating this skill at full power would cause unbearable heat to all in the area. It isn't that the skills power is lowered due to being converted to a Servant, but rather, that it is impossible for the merged body to withstand such heat. However, this skill is almost always active and applies both to the body and to weapons that Bella's hands grasp. Perhaps this is why her Magical Power rank is so low.

          Divinity E
          A skill that shows the measure of a divine spirit. In Bella's case, she is considered a form of divided spirit, or Kanjo, of Surya. Since she is considered a very small shard of Surya, her value as a divine spirit is also very low.

          Normally, Divinity would not be retained in the infusion process, but due to Bella's history and predisposition, it has been retained regardless. In many ways, it can be considered an irony, but since Bella barely remembers her previous life, she doesn't appear to mind. Since she is a divinity of Surya, she has a resistance to heat based attacks and other sun divinities, but the effectiveness of this resistance might as well be nil, since it can't even protect her from her own flames.

          Sealed Legacy
          Sealed succeed phantasm. Noble Phantasms and skills are sealed and weakened until a future date. This is due to the imperfections of the summoning and infusion process.
        • Vasavi Shakti Doharaana
          O Thunder, Strike Twice
          Rank: B+
          Type: Anti-God
          Range: 1-1000
          Targets: 7

          Vasavi Shakti revised. A revision phantasm created by Indra for the purposes of human salvation. Normally, as an Archer, Karna would not possess this Noble Phantasm. It is said that Indra does love humanity in his own way, and as such, he lent this weapon again for the purposes of battling calamity.

          It is a false phantasm in the shape of Vasavi Shakti, possessing the ability to 'kill divinities'. As a result, it has enhanced damage against divine spirits. Normally it takes the shape of a spear in Bella's hands, but by drawing her bow, it's actual form is revealed to not be a spear, but an oversized arrow. Firing it requires a moment to plant her feet, as its incredible size and power makes it difficult to fire on the go.

          In principal, it is a one strike, many kill weapon. Among Archers, it is considered a cheat ranged weapon, with the benefit of the lightning. It strikes immediately after being released.

          Under certain circumstances, it could become another Noble Phantasm, but those circumstances aren't met.

          Vijaya Dhanush
          O Destruction, Be Victorious
          Rank: A -> C-
          Type: Anti-Evil
          Range: 1-1000
          Targets: 1-3

          An anti-evil bow gifted by Shiva. It is a huge weapon that actually is taller then Bella, and almost unwieldy. In theory, using it as a weapon should allow the owner to always be victorious, but in its current state, that ability is sealed.

          It has the effect of imparting the power of Magical Burst (Light) to all arrows shot from its string. Since Bella fires arrows made of pure magical energy, these arrows are very effective against demonic foes. It has a secondary function of enhancing the power of certain Astras, but in her youth as a heroic spirit, Bella has no access to these Astras.

          Since it is so heavy, Bella must use magical burst to even lift it. As a result, in melee combat, she resorts to Vasavi Shakti Doharaana instead.

          Noble Phantasm: ???
        • Magic Resistance A
          Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer".

          True Name Discernment D
          Reveal the identity, status, parameters and skills of an opposing Servant. In the case of Marche, the statistics revealed are done so at random, although the current status is always revealed. Since it is weakened compared to the normal Ruler ability, it is not possible to obtain statistics that have been hidden due to concealment abilities, though the presence of Assassin is always identified.

          In it's current state, it can be called the ultimate confirmation skill, as abilities are revealed with certainty when they are seen deployed. The effect is automatic, which can prove problematic if an ability relies on the target knowing a keyword.

          Divine Judgement A-
          A skill that is deployed as the right of Ruler to preside over a Holy Grail War. In the context of the battle against Calamity, its alternative effect is revealed at the cost of ranking down. The Servant, Ruler, can act as a pseudo-master of Servants, allowing for the deployment of Command Spells on Servants who have aligned themselves with Ruler.

        • Name: Leonardo da Vinci
          Height: 5'6
          Weight: 71kg

          Alignment: Chaotic Good
          Attribute: Star

          Noble Phantasm: ???
        • Item Construction A
          A Skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Also, this Skill requires time to gather components and manufacture items. Because he possesses Rank A in this, it is possible to create even a potion of limited immortality. However, since Da Vinci is fundamentally a 'human being', not a Magus, he requires time to construct the wonders within his Noble Phantasm. Normally, the rank would be EX, but Da Vinci's lazy and whimsical spirit that remains focused only on his interests prevents him from rushing his work, even for world's end.

          Territory Creation A
          A Skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting magical energy. Creation of a "Temple", which is superior to a "Workshop", becomes possible. Since Da Vinci is a workman, his Temple takes a rather strange shape, more akin to a steam workshop or a craftsman's dream then a wizards lair. However, the number of mechanical monstrosities within can terrify those not familiar with him.
        • Pioneer of the Stars
          A unique Skill given to heroes that became turning points in human history. All difficult voyages and challenges which are considered "impossible" turn into "events that can be realized". Leonardo da Vinci, who gave birth to many stimuli that resulted in the birth of modern civilization, naturally can lead any voyage into the unknown. It doesn't, however, seem like he likes to lead.

          Universal Man
          A skill that is possessed by several of the legends of the renaissance. In some versions of Leonardo's hands, it is actually rendered as a Noble Phantasm, however, in this versions case, it is merely a skill as his traits as a craftsman are put to the fore. Any subject is within Leonardo's knowledge. Any magic can be learned. Any mystery solved. It is the source of his prodigious talent and allows him to reshape the world through invention. A 'demonic intellect' not dissimilar to the secret sword skills of certain Japanese servants, it's workings are unknown and, in a pinch, can substitute for a Noble Phantasm.

          Eye for Art A
          An infatuation for works of art. If the Noble Phantasm or Servant themselves possesses any artistic merit, then it is almost certain Leonardo will discern it's true name. The result of a fascination with the Mona Lisa, the appreciation of art extends well beyond. In Leonardo's case, he's particularly in tune with paintings.

          Surgery B
          The ability to repair the body using tools and procedures. The technique is ancient, but also beyond it's time. Leonardo is capable of repairing any injury given time and even modifying the body, but he doesn't seem too inclined to use this skill defensively. Rather, he employs it offensively to remove enemy offensive capabilities.

          Height: 5'8

          Noble Phantasm: A+++ -> C
        • Item Construction C
          A skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Also, this Skill requires time to gather components and manufacture items. Since he specialized in the creation of contracts, his ability in this is only of average level. However, Roman is incredibly proud of his ability to make health potions, even if their effectiveness is limited.

          Territory Creation A -> D
          A skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting magical energy. Creation of a "Temple", which is superior to a "Workshop", becomes possible. Fundamentally unusable, since Roman does not have access to the 'Temple of Time' in order to use his abilities, the value of Territory Creation is immediately rendered almost nil. Perhaps it is because he has no inclination to rebuild the splendor of his Temple in Israel that Roman's level in this skill is so poor.
        • Revelation B
          A skill that allows one to hear the 'voice of the heavens' and take the optimum result; a instinct that achieves all things known to man. However, at current, Romani seems to ignore this skill. Since in life, he received a Revelation only once, it would seem he is concerned that such a thing could happen again.

          High-Speed Incantation C
          An ability to speak magical incantations at an accelerated speed.Despite being, in terms of speed, the fastest caster in terms of modern magecraft, it isn't uncommon for Romani to worry that he miscalculated the result and thus ruin his spell. As a result, it would be safe to say that he is a worrywart that can't be relied on in an emergency.

          Clairvoyance EX -> D
          A visual ability that allows one to perceive the world. In the past, this allowed Solomon to see the Past, Present and Future, however, this aspect of the skill was returned to God. Roman has no need to apply this skill to seeing fast moving objects; rather, he uses it to pick out details that should simply be impossible. As a result, sometimes it seems like he is reading the mind of the person he is talking to, but really it is just an acute and accurate guess.
