Name: Shirou Emiya
Age: 17
Canon: Fate/stay night
Character History: Shirou
Fate (The route I'll be playing him from)
Personality: Almost everything about Shirou's personality can be traced back ten years into his past. Though he managed to physically survive the fire that took his home and family, his inner self was effectively killed. He lost all memory of his past life, becoming a blank slate that immediately latched onto his new adoptive father. That attachement, as well as his admiration for Kiritsugu, is what led him to take on Kiritsugu's former dream of becoming a hero - that is, someone who can save people. Not just one out of many, but everyone. Due to the immense trauma and survivor's guilt he suffered, he has no sense of self-worth or self-interest. Thus, he can only derive any enjoyment or meaning in his life from helping others and goes to absurd lengths for it. He'd sacrifice himself for the sake of even a stranger with no hesitation and rarely refuses to help others even in trivial situations. Even when it seems he has fun immersing himself in things like cooking or housework, he's simply doing it for the sake of those who live with him. It should be noted that though he prefers not to think about it, he's not entirely unaware that his ideals are unrealistic and unhealthy; he simply sees them as worth the trouble.
All that said, there's more to Shirou than just naivete and idealism. While he maintains a friendly and calm demeanour most of the time, he can be quite sarcastic and critical of others in his inner thoughts. He'll even show that side outwardly with people he's close to and knows can handle it. Sometimes he'll also be quite rude or just awkward without meaning to; for example, he had a bad habit of trying to use sexist arguments to justify his overprotectiveness to women before fighting alongside Saber forced him to accept he was wrong. Not that it was easy, since he's ridiculously stubborn and will stick to his beliefs as long as he possibly can, no matter how mistaken they might be.
While that stubbornness often holds him back, it's also his greatest strength, allowing him to keep going despite every setback. Whether he's training in magecraft night after night despite having next to no talent for it or standing up and fighting even in the face of hopeless odds, Shirou does not give up. Though his past experiences have given him the ability to remain almost eerily fearless in the face of death and danger, his calmness isn't without emotion; seeing others in pain might not disturb him the way it would a normal person, but it does make him angry in a way he can channel into determination. That goes doubly so when those he cares about the most are in danger. Hurt someone Shirou loves, and he'll become nigh unstoppable in his quest to set things right.
Powers: Though he's technically a mage, Shirou is a complete amateur with little talent or training. Additionally, his special circumstances have left him with an extremely specialised style of magic. The spells he can use are technically all derived from the same source, but since he's not aware of said source and doesn't have enough mana to use it anyway, let's discuss them separately.
Analysis/Tracing: By focusing on an object, Shirou can completely familiarise himself with its composition and workings. When it comes to swords, he does this automatically and unconsciously without needing to focus or even touch the item. He also gains more information, down to the sword's creation process and how it's wielded.
For the sake of game mechanics, it's probably best just to say that any attempts to analyse plot-significant items will automatically fail for whatever reason!
Reinforcement: After analysing an object, Shirou can attempt to reinforce it, making it stronger or more efficient. I use the word attempt here because he tends to fail eight times out of ten. His rate of success is higher in combat situations, especially when reinforcing something to be more sword-like, but he's mostly still pretty shit at it.
Projection: After analysing an object, Shirou is capable of producing a copy of it out of thin air. Objects other than swords retain only their appearance and are otherwise completely useless. Swords are functional, but magical ones are significantly less powerful. Additionally, his body will sometimes unconsciously turn parts of itself into swords as protection from severe danger. As you might imagine, when that happens it's just as likely to harm Shirou himself as it is to stop attacks or close wounds.
As he currently has extremely little knowledge of his projection abilities, the things he can consciously do with it are limited; the only sword he knows he can project is Caliburn, and it costs so much mana that he can't do it without extreme pain and potential damage to his body. (He also can't use the sword's magical properties because never in his dreams will he have that much mana.)
Samples: [There's been a murder.
As much as Shirou wishes he was surprised by this, he really isn't. This whole camp thing has been suspect from the start, so there really is nothing unexpected about finding one of their number floating face down in the quiet waters by the boat area, now blackened by the blood presumably wafting from an unseen wound.
(If there's a part of him that always fearfully anticipates the moment he'll lose everyone around him again, he ignores it. That kind of pessimism is hardly a good attitude for a superhero.)
After wading closer, he carefully turns the body over. It's one of the other guys - his name escapes Shirou for the moment. The only thing he can focus on is the source of all the blood, a nasty gash in the middle of the boy's chest.
Yeah, this was definitely not a natural death. Not as bad as burning alive, but far from peaceful either.
He looks up at the people gathered around, looking calm and composed despite the fury boiling inside his chest.]
We're going to need to find out who did this.
[It's very dramatic, but... also kind of really obvious. Not likely to impress anyone.]
Do you want to volunteer to be part of the first murder?: Yes!
Any other questions or concerns?:
