Biography:
A ten year-old prodigy graduate from Wales' Merdiana Academy. Negi was a mage in training, assigned by a magic diploma to serve a stint as a teacher in Japan's Mahora Academy. As the homeroom and English teacher of Junior High Class 3-A (Girl's School Side), Negi quickly got himself embroiled in several conflicts that did, more often than not, demand for him to establish Provisional Alliances or 'Pactios', with his students, something he's still morally troubled by.
Negi was a studious, yet naive young gentleman who knew a disturbing amount of foreign swear words, but hiding a frustrated, overbearing side of himself and was obsessively focused on finding his long lost father Nagi, a feared and respected mage best known as 'the Thousand Master'. For some reason, he never wondered whether a mother might have been part of it at some point until he traveled into Mundus Magicus, the New World of Magic, looking for clues to his father's whereabouts.
During this Mundus Magicus campaign, Negi found even more allies and partners to his cause, and also made several sworn enemies. This all resulted in a climactic confrontation at the ruins of Old Ostia, the abandoned kingdom of Negi's mother Princess Arika, against the mystical criminal organization Cosmo Entelecheia. His victory granted Negi the status of a world saving hero and access to the Throne of Heroes, further solidified by his ulterior role in the creation of the Space Elevator linking Mundus Magicus to Mundus Vetus (Earth).
Class Skills:
Territory Creation: D
As Caster's magical talents were more oriented in the direction of assimilating and developing spells for use in the battlefield or similar situations, his rank at this Skill is not very high. However, he can set decently functional laboratories where he can work on his spellcraft. The more tools and artifacts he is allowed to have or given, the better structured the laboratory will be; at top levels of performance, the laboratory may work as a veritable miniature fortress for Caster to work in.
Item Creation: C
Caster is better at modifying and upgrading previously existing magical items than he is at creating them. Item Creation of a successful nature is quite possible and may impress other Servants and all mortal magi, but the rank is nowhere near that achieved by Mages from the Era of Gods like Medea or Circe.
Personal Skills:
Chinese Martial Arts: C
The Skill to make good use of the fighting styles originated in China in personal combat, or against large groups of enemies. Caster was a good student of these disciplines from a short age and even would grow to resort to them as a first resource in battle, before falling back on spellcasting.
The Skill's rank cannot compare to that of Ku Fei (also summonable as a Lancer), Caster's master in martial arts, or that of Chao Lingshen (also summonable as a Rider or Caster). Regardless, for the standards of most people in Caster's time his ability was astonishing, especially for one so young.
High Speed Incantation: B
The measure of a high speed combatant using magic in direct melee. Caster can forego the usage of long winded spells to cast his magic, using shorter and faster equivalents. Several spells can be deployed even without uttering a single word. This makes Caster noticeably more active and offensively able than most other Heroic Spirits of this Class.
Caster's element affinity is aligned with the Lightning and the Wind, although he can use Magecraft related to all elements but Void to one degree or another. His most used spells include, but are not limited to:
Sagitta Magica- Caster's favorite, fastest moving and most economic in terms of mana projectile attack, taking the appearance of several arrows of light shot from Caster's wand at the same time.
Flans Exarmatio- A Wind-type spell that blows all clothes and equipment off the opponent, reducing their defenses and breaking apart even powerful and resilient suits of armor. This spell is so codified into Caster that he can manifest it even without meaning to, by sneezing.
Dios Tukos- An offensive spell where the user makes a downward-sweeping motion which destroys the target with an intense electric attack. While the attack has a limited area of effect, its short incantation makes it very effective at close to medium range.
Thousand Lightning Bolts- The most powerful and devastating lightning spell known by Caster, taking the form of an explosive bursting release.
Master of Many Specialties: A-
Always a gifted student and child prodigy, Caster can easily learn almost any discipline or technique that is taught to him with impressive speed, and even can learn on the fly from merely watching others deploy their own abilities before him over a reasonable length of time. This is what gave him the Chinese Martial Arts Skill listed above in the first place. He is especially good at languages and memorizing historical and magical data.
Caster's limits are scarce, including a complete inability to ever learn to sing in anything resembling a decent and melodic fashion. He is notoriously tone deaf and will find great pleasure in the songs of Lancer Elizabeth Bathory and Saber Nero.
Eye of the Mind: B-
The capacity to find and detect weaknesses in the defense and offense of an enemy, and to deduct and extrapolate solutions for any given difficult solution demanding an answer. As long as there is a 0,01% chance of success, Caster can come up with a logical way to extricate himself from trouble and achieve success.
The Skill's rank decreases accordingly in cases of extreme stress, agitation, distress or anger, depending on the severity of Caster's emotions.
Noble Phantasms:
Magia Erebea: A
A dangerous forbidden technique developed by Caster's teacher Evangeline A.K. Mc Dowell (also summonable as another Caster) over the course of ten years. It grants incredible power, stamina and speed, but at the cost of madness that can only be overcome by an intense affinity with the dark end of the emotional spectrum, one that Evangeline was quite attached to. As this version of Negi is the one who roomed with Hasegawa Chisame instead of Kagurazaka Asuna, and his life choices were quite different, his mastery of Magia Erebea is not complete and he can only use it for short periods of time. It never turned him into an inhuman monster permanently, but when he uses it, it wrecks a heavy toll on his body and mind.
Endurance and Strength shoot up to A, and the Servant gains a B ranked Mad Enhancement. Telling friend apart from foe might be difficult for the duration of the Noble Phantasm, although Alter Ego Hasegawa Chisame will always be recognized as an ally.
Caster turns into a lightning powered magical juggernaut, with long hair, horns and bestial features, growing more maddened and savage by the moment until he collapses. The mana consumption is critical and Masters are well advised to be extremely careful with this technique. The Servant's body and mana resources regenerate very slowly after usage.
The rank is lowered from the A+ that Negi would have were he summoned as a Berserker.
Decadent Habits: EX
A Noble Phantasm born from frequent corruptions and deviations of Caster's legend. The mark of an unbound Harem Protagonist character, a 'natural born gigolo' as Chisame (also summonable as an Alter Ego, see her Servant sheet for more details) would call him. A Stud Monkey that can carry numerous conquests even accidentally. It only is effective against fully female Servants, no matter the species, Attribute or Moral Alignment. Widows, wives, those involved in other manners of steady relationships with others; none are safe against this Skill that surpasses even Diarmuid's Love Spot.
The Skill is even more effective on family members like Saber Arika Anarchia Entheofushia. Only Servants who are of a shorter apparent age than Caster remain unaffected. Magic Resistance can grant a temporary respite against it, but ultimately the female Servant will be overwhelmed. In addition, the Noble Phantasm grants the miracle ability to successfully impregnate female humans and Heroic Spirits alike, something usually impossible to achieve for Servants. Caster is quite reluctant to ever make use of this Noble Phantasm, however.
This Noble Phantasm cannot be used while Magia Erebea is active, and Berserker Negi has it sealed by default.
