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!
Shini has a Servant in, and an idea for a Master whose Servant is their direct ancestor!
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!

Don't think of the below as a full-on app - I am not going to be approving or rejecting based on thoroughness of content. I trust you guys well enough. Just give me an idea of what you're going for. However, No signup will be accepted for a Master or Servant unless there is also a signup for their Servant or Master. To keep things organized, if your Servant/Master has already posted their signup, post yours as a reply to theirs.

Name: Anna Hayes
Gender: Female
Approximate apparent age: 16
Personality: Anna is a fairly average teenage girl. She has quite a level head on her shoulders, and is a bit of a bookworm; she prefers reading to the constant gossiping of her classmates. Technically she'd be considered a bit of a rebel, what with her preference to more masculine clothing, but that's about as far as that label goes. She's also incredibly laid-back; it takes a lot to ruffle her feathers, and even then, she's more likely to just brush things off and get past the issue than lash out in anger. This makes her a great voice of reason! She flows easily through life, and all she wants is to help out wherever she can.

Degree of magical familiy heritage: Magic in her family goes back many generations, when their roots were still planted firmly in Europe, but they're nothing noteworthy.
Competence as a magus Moderate. Focuses mostly on alteration, with considerable skill in reinforcement. Her personal element is water.
Backstory leading up to the Holy Grail War: As mentioned, she's your fairly average teenage girl. Her family is just managing to scrape by in the wake of the Great Depression, and so she, as the only child, has to take on whatever work she can get to help her family. It was hard, and over and over again, Anna wished there was more that she could do to help her family out of the slump the entire country was in.

So when the whisperings of the Holy Grail War first began making their way around, she didn't pay much attention to it. But the more she learned, the more she realized that this could be what she was looking for. Her parents, while capable magi themselves, were too focused on keeping the three of them afloat in a world that seemed to be falling apart. But if she could make it into this war, if she could win...

Even without the wish the Grail would grant, the family of the winner of the Holy Grail War would obviously earn great prestige and notoriety in the magical community. It was the best hope they had, so Anna threw herself enthusiastically into her studies.

Name: Nakano Takeko
Gender: woman tyvm
Approximate Apparent Age: 21

Personality: Lancer is well-educated and extremely dedicated. She does her best to protect what she lives by and who she's with, and she's more than willing to help others become strong as well. She's not exactly rebellious, but she can see when the rules are in the way, and her response to that is, more often than not, "screw the rules". Well, not exactly; she's more of a rules lawyer, saying that just because she can't do this doesn't mean she can't do that and get the same result. She has a backup plan for a lot of things, and if she can't win, she at least wants to make sure the other side can't get what they want.

Class: Lancer
Fighting Style: Lancer gets in there and fights, but she isn't an idiot. She's aware of her surroundings and takes the same approach to a battle as she does to everything else: if she can't do something the normal way, she's going to do it her way. She usually uses her naginata over everything else.
Attitude towards the Holy Grail War: She wants to win, and once she sees her Master's determination, she'll do her best to win.

Noble Phantasm:
Root of Tradition: Her primary and most well-known weapon, her naginata (yamato nadeshiko characters who use them probably have her to thank). She's fast with this thing -- she shanked a bunch of guys who were carrying guns with it, after all.
Thousand Striker: Lancer's secondary weapon is a short sword. She's practiced with the thing all her life and will use it if she feels the need; she can keep on using it as long as she wants to without getting tired.
Promise: If Lancer is mortally wounded while her Master is still alive, as she fades away, a temporary burst of power will go directly to the Master, allowing Anna to escape or open a can or whatever she very well wants to do.
