The time for joining is now! All players for Fate/Frontier, post in here with your character outline so that I know who all is in.

This does NOT mean that anyone who isn't teamed up yet is out of the game. There's still time! Not many of you are left, so here's a recap!

Dalten is offering a depressed-businessman-turned-magus Master!
Llama is offering a sexy world war II fighter pilot as Rider!

BF has a trillion Servants offered and three Masters offered, but hasn't confirmed any teamups yet!
Chris has the biblical Joshua as General, but no confirmed Master for him!

Name: Grant Ruskin
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Personality: Grant Ruskin is obnoxiously friendly. He's the kind of person who brings a sixpack of beer to a study session. Everyone has a good time and nothing gets done. He gets in fights but somehow most people don't end up hating him after they fight him. He is lazy and unmotivated, but has tremendous natural talent, which kind of balances out. He is, in short, a bro.

Degree of magical family heritage: They have been magicians for four generations, and are pretty good at it.
Competence as a magus: Lots of natural talent, not much actual studying. So he can do simple magic well, but beyond that he has to do research before attempting anything complicated. His trademark trick is manipulating metal. He has a chunk of Orichalcum, a legendary magic metal from the city of Atlantis that has the property of only being able to be effected by magic, which he uses to make tools or weapons as the situation requires.

He can also drain the mana out of magical artifacts or constructs by touching them, thanks to his crystal heart (see below.)

Backstory leading up to the Holy Grail War: Grant was a member of Clocktower before he died. In general he was too much of a pest and a disruption, so they send him to be an enforcer in the lawless magical frontier of America, partially because his personality made him suited for work in the field but mostly just to get him out of their hair. His official title was "Sheriff".

He was good at his job, and became fairly famous in the magical world, building up a substantial reputation. Then a necromancer got the jump on him and killed him. The Necromancer used his body for an experiment that required the body of a magus, replacing his heart with a special crystal that would maintain his life as long as it was kept charged with mana.

It worked, Grant came back to life and kicked the necromancer's ass. Now he needs to keep charging his "heart" with mana or he will die, which is why he wants the grail.

Name: Grant Ruskin
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Personality: Brawler is a guy who likes having fun, particularly with other people. Sure, sometimes his idea of a good time with others involves punching the crap out of them, but it's hard to hold that against the guy when he's so chill and friendly about it. And, let's be honest, most people on the receiving end of Brawler's fist had it coming. What he doesn't like is work. He prefers to do things at his own pace and his own way, which is infuriating to anyone who's ever had to try and get him to do something he doesn't want to, why Clocktower sent him off to America, and why it's probably for the best that his Master is himself.

Class: Brawler
Fighting Style: Brawler, unsurprisingly, specializes in hand-to-hand combat. He has a unique style of combat, by which I mean he doesn't really follow any sort of style at all, cruising by on talent and a minimum of study, just as with his magic. Which is, of course, integrated into his fighting style, where he generally uses it to make impromptu brass knuckles, small shields, and a total mockery of anyone stupid enough to try to use a metal weapon against him. Of course, that's not all he can do with it, and with Brawler, the name of the game is flexibility.
Attitude towards the Holy Grail War: He's in it to win it, even if he probably won't technically from his perspective benefit from his Master's second chance at life. I mean, hey, sounds like a fun time, anyway, right?

Noble Phantasm: Orichalcum Knuckles. Not always in the form of Knuckles, of course, but that's a catchy name, so there you have it. Again, legendary magical metal, completely impervious to anything that isn't magical.

A note: That bit up there about getting killed? Yeah, that's what the Throne of Heroes counts as his death. So Brawler has neither a crystal heart nor any foreknowledge of how this Grail War goes.
