Name:

(Assumed) Charlonne de Chevalier, (True) Morgana

Gender:

Female

Approximate apparent age:

Mid-twenties. In fact, she looks a bit too young to be a professor at the Clock Tower, but a bit too experienced for anyone to call her bluff.

Personality:

Charlonne is a well-versed magus and while her specialty is Aethermancy, she is knowledgeable in other schools of magic. This is due to her profession and well-esteemed position in the Clock Tower. Her demeanor is unusually calm and she seems almost detached when it comes to combat, the Holy Grail War, and the concept of killing others. This is due to the personality magi are suppose to have - cold and ruthless. She may even jest that it wouldn’t be all that bad to kill someone to take a step closer towards a higher understanding, even if she has no intent to do so.

Magic is her life and due to that, she’s willing to talk on end on topics relating to it. This is why she makes such an ideal candidate for partnership and why she’s an excellent lecturer. She has a way with words and understandably so: incantations are necessary with her Thaumaturgical Crest as she’s encountering difficulty with it suddenly rejecting her body, so it isn’t as though she’s able to fully achieve the benefits of such a precious family heirloom. This may be the only thing that frustrates her in her life as everything else is seemingly perfect. An excellent job, a prestige family bloodline, and a long line of suitors in which to continue this bloodline with.

She takes her leave of the Clock Tower after an assassination attempt was made on her life for her Thaumaturgical Crest. Seeing as this is an ordinary occurrence with the rivalries within the Mage’s Association, there’s little backlash and hardly any punishment inflicted upon such criminals. Yet, there's something wrong with her Thaumaturgical Crest after the attempt made on her life, finding herself unable to actually tap into it's powers. Due to such, Charlonne decides to participate in the Holy Grail War with the wish of mastering it once more.

All of that is a facade though as the real Charlonne was murdered mercilessly and her family’s Thaumaturgical Crest stolen. It’s because of the late transplant into a non-blood relative that this girl suffers from the pain and inability of accessing it’s full potential. However, she’s unaware of this, and she does display exemplary skill with magic. She’s more of a magic user than a magus, which is quite the insult in the Mage’s Association. Morgana does come from a family that lives within the world of magi, but she is inept with their chosen craft, choosing instead to make up the slack with alchemy. Within her family, the generation before her own sold their crest to the highest bidder which then ended up in the hands of another family of magi. Due to her frustration with this, she develops an interesting personality. Even if she’s bitter about the missed opportunity, she still does what she can to make up the slack.

Justice-sought and passionate only in mind, her laziness seems to be her largest vice. Even though she wants nothing more than to do what’s right not only for her family, but herself, she can’t motivate herself easily. In fact, she suffers often in school, only being able to attend due to her family’s wealth and eagerness to keep her out of the war. Most often she won’t ever act out on impulse or her feelings, choosing instead to let life take it’s course. Studying is something she never bothers with, choosing instead to daydream about saving the day.

Degree of magical family heritage:

Family hit a rough time during the war and believed wealth > magical power: in doing so, they sold their Thaumaturgical Crest to the highest bidder. Morgana was only accepted into the Clock Tower due to impressive donations and reputation. Once she assumes this professor’s identity, she believes herself to be from a long lineage of magi who’s specialty is Aethermancy.

Competence as a magus:

At her core, she’s able to mimic what she believes she can do through alchemy and a bit of magical studies. Even though she has a Thaumaturgical Crest implanted into her body, she’s unable to use it’s full potential much to Charlonne’s frustration. As a magus, she has an excellent amount of circuits and is able to produce 800 units of prana, which makes her a superior Master.. Her problem is that she’s unable to efficiently use it herself and instead must rely on a familiar spirit to use it. The only thing she’s adept at as a magus as Charlonne is her ability to creature nature spirits, ranging from Jinn to tiny orbs of sentient-like gas. Due to their nature, they are easily detected and aren’t very good for use in the Holy Grail War.

Backstory prior to the Holy Grail War:

Coming from a family that auctioned off their only reliable way of remaining a true magus family, Morgana's life has been a bit more laid back than the typical magus. Morgana was a simple girl with a seemingly brilliant mind, she just lacked the drive to apply herself vigorously to her studies. What passion she did have was spent in alchemy, the girl specializing in aether studies and biochemistry. In the world of magi, the lack of a Thaumaturgical Crest pretty much labels the person a 'magic user' over magus. With this prejudice against her, Morgana only attended the Clock Tower due to her grandfather insisting she should. After all, there was still the chance she could charm her way into another family and with the large amount of circuits she has, there was still hope that she could at least produce a suitable heir.

Finding this chosen life unfair, she takes matters into her own hands. After a couple years of study, she finds a magus who works there suitable enough for her liking. Her obsession grows with this professor to the point where she completely knows various things about her ranging from her favorite food to the smell that makes her nauseous. One night during a heated discussion, there's an accident (debatable as both possibly wanted to kill each other), and this professor ends up reborn in the body of her student. Morgana is completely oblivious to her life prior to becoming Charlonne and gets agitated easily when someone finds a contradiction in her story. They are rare and usually will result in a very violent reaction if brought to her attention. She completely believes she's Charlonne and has no recollection of any of Morgana's past.

[archerzon]

Name: Hippolyta
Gender: Female
Approximate apparent age: Somewhere in her 30s
Personality: Archer is everything one would expect of a leader of fierce warriors. She's strong, fearless, and cares greatly for the women under her command. She's also compassionate; she treats every amazon like her sister, and will go to great lengths to keep them safe from harm. Like attacking the capitol city of a powerful nation, for example. This is pretty much the only thing that can really set her off! Archer is a true Mother to her Girls. She's prideful but not to the point where she boasts about her combat prowess, led her followers with a stern hand, and generally had a good head on her shoulders. She's capable of kindness, and isn't one whose temper can be set off at the drop of a hat.

... All of this applies only when she's in female company, however. She has a great contempt to anyone of the male gender, a trait common among amazons. Her opinion of men had started to change, once upon a time, but it was soured again almost instantly by the actions of one huge jerkface as mentioned below. She treats men as far inferior to those of her own gender; to Archer, they're no better than dogs.

Class: Archer
Fighting Style: Focuses mostly on her bow, though as the leader of a race of warriors, she is able to wield other weapons as well. Focuses more on face-to-face fighting rather than stealth.
Attitude towards the Holy Grail War: Neutral. Her main focus is to protect her Master.

Noble Phantasm:
Belt of Ares - With it, all her physical stats are boosted up one rank.
Call to Arms - Can summon reinforcement Amazons. These Amazons are significantly weaker than Archer, and any who are destroyed in battle will not reappear until the next time she uses this Noble Phantasm.

Angst-filled AU historical backstory: Hippolyta's backstory is more or less the same as her mythological background. She was the leader of the Amazons, a race of all-female warriors. She was visited by the hero Heracles, who needed to retrieve her belt for the daughter of King Eurystheus, as the ninth task in his fabled Ten Labors. Despite him being a man, Hippolyta was impressed with his strength and skill, and agreed to hand the belt over. Things would have ended peacefully, but Theseus, one of Heracles' companions, thought it would be a smart idea to capture one of Hippolyta's fellow amazons, a woman named Antiope. This was actually a Very Bad Idea, and the amazons quickly attacked. Heracles and his companions were able to flee, but the amazons tracked them down, eventually attacking the city of Athens itself. This was a Very Bad Idea on the Amazons' part, and most of them died in the battle, including Antiope and Hippolyta herself. However, in an attempt to bring her some peace before she died, her surviving warriors did not tell her of Antiope's death, and so she passed on with the fake knowledge that she was able to give her life for another's safety.
