Fate/strange fake CANON 19 AGE Meridian FACTION Tier 1 HARMONIZATION LEVEL

End of Vol 6 CANON POINT Male (he/him) GENDER Savant ASPECT Tier 0 DISCORD LEVEL

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Flat is a lanky young man standing at 5'8/175cm with blonde hair and bright light blue eyes. He's energetic and always bouncing around, his emotions written very clearly on his face. You'll know when he's happy, and you'll definitely know when he's sad. Often he walks with a spring in his step, and it's almost as if nothing can get him down— and if something does, it won't be for long.

Flat is overly friendly, often considering himself someone's friend long before the other has probably even conceived such an idea. He has almost no concept of personal space, absolutely no idea how to read the room, and he can simultaneously be the smartest and dumbest guy in the room at any and all times. Such lack of common sense can quickly alert others that something is definitely 'off' with him, but worry not. He's a pure soul.

SHARD

A transparent jewel sitting above his heart, perfectly round.

ASPECT TATTOO

Flat's tattoo is a ⚙ that sits at the nape of his neck. Though it's often hidden by the collar of his shirt, it can occasionally be seen if you're standing just at the right angle.

PERSONALITY

Flat Escardos is a young man that can only be defined as eccentric. Or, perhaps, an idiot. An annoying pest, would also be fitting. He's loud, easily excitable, and overly friendly to the point that it almost feels pushy. Surely there must be a reason for all of this, right? Some ulterior motive, some hidden darkness that will come to light the moment that he's crossed? Fortunately (or unfortunately) that's not necessarily the case. Flat is, for the most part, someone who lacks ulterior motives and, aside from working out, seems to have absolutely no dislikes, so what you see is what you get with him...technically.

Flat is straightforward, selfish, and sometimes downright inconsiderate, but it's always done with the most innocent intentions. If you dislike it, then that's fine too, so long as you are plain and honest with him. Not because he'll change, mind you, but because he's someone who values genuineness— whether it's genuine animosity or genuine friendship, that doesn't matter. This lack of common sense is far too common with him, and it's something that he honestly cannot help, no matter how much he tries. So maybe it's best to simply sigh and whack him over the head— he'll appreciate it, at least.

BACKGROUND

Flat Escardos is the eldest child of the Escardos family, a lineage of mages that have been based in Monaco since nearly the beginning of the Common Era, almost two millennia back. Their 2000 years of history, however, is all that the Escardos have had to their name since anyone could remember. They're a mediocre lineage, never able to improve their Magic Circuits no matter what they did...until, one day, they were blessed with a genius like they had never seen before. Flat Escardos is a child that has Magic Circuits like capillaries, a seemingly endless reserve of mana, and an innate control of magical energy that would put most adult mages to shame. It was exactly what they needed... until they realized that their blessing was in fact a curse in disguise. Flat's temperament was too unsettling and too difficult to control. This, coupled with his ridiculous skill, quickly made his parents realize that they were never looking into a telescope that allowed them to see the stars of fame, but instead they were looking down the barrel of a cannon that could destroy them and the Escardos family. In order to save their lineage, they had no choice but to reject their son and eliminate him. After five failed attempts, the young boy decided to take someone's advice and go study in the Clock Tower.

It's in the Clock Tower where, after some struggles, he manages to meet the newest Lord in the Clock Tower, Lord El Melloi II, also known as Waver Velvet. From there on, Flat integrates himself in the classroom of misfits and troublemakers as the top troublemaker of them all. He meets great friends who come and go, such as Gray, Svin, and Reines, and it's like this that he spends the next 10 years of his life...

Until he hears about the Holy Grail War that's about to take place in Snowfield, Nevada. Believing that his begging to the Professor paid off and that he had a genuine catalyst to summon Jack the Ripper, he heads off to the United States to summon False Berserker with a plastic toy. And it's there where the story of Fate/strange Fake begins, with one of the most unconventional Master-Servant pairs: a young man full of innocence and the legend of a serial killer that serves as his Servant.

ABILITIES & SKILLS

Magic sense Flat has the ability to sense magical energy with his five senses and interact with it as he pleases (ie, analyze, modify, absorb, etc). This allows him to be proficient with utilizing, modifying, and analyzing the leylines and other magical structures.

Limitations: or a while, the learning curve of being in a new world with a different form of magical energy than his own. Just because he can sense it, doesn't mean that he can understand it. Not only that, as this is a different form of magical energy, he will not be as proficient into transforming it into energy for himself. For someone as sensitive to magical energy as Flat, changing his location is probably the same as moving a fish from one tank to the ocean.

Chaos Magecraft A New Age form of Magecraft that involves taking pieces from different spells and mixing and matching them into an entirely new spell that fulfills the user's wishes. Flat can cheat his way into using it thanks to his void affinity, intuition, and the above Manasphere skill, however, which is why he's able to use this to create impromptu spells that change depending on what he needs at the moment.

He is not omnipotent, however. Because his spells lack a solid foundation, they are both unstable and unable to be reproduced. His spells are brittle by nature and can fall apart even with the slightest of interruptions or changes. He specializes in spell analysis and interference.

Limitations: As for spells, these will all drain on his stamina much quicker than they would back at home. AOE spells such as bounded fields will not affect more than 5-6 people and heals will only fully restore small wounds and serve as first aid for larger wounds. He will not be able to instantaneously interfere advanced spells either.

Curse resistance: Due to the high quality and high quantity of his Magic Circuits, his ability to interfere with magical energy, and the fact that he doesn't disclose his real name to anyone, Flat has a rather powerful resistance to curses from other parties.

Limitations: For this game, however I feel that curses of stronger power will be able to affect him, while he will remain immune to weak curses.

Void/ether affinity: Flat's elemental affinity: void, otherwise known as ether. While it by itself is useless, it's the most basic building block of all modern magical energy and therefore compatible with all other 4 elemental types.
