Shirou Emiya

Summary
Shirou Emiya (衛宮 士郎, Emiya Shirō) is the Master of Saber during the Fifth Holy Grail War. Orphaned by the devastation caused by the destruction of the Grail ten years before, at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, he was rescued and adopted by Kiritsugu Emiya, who saved him from death by embedding Avalon into his body. Kiritsugu disclosed his identity as a magus, and Shirou badgered him until he agreed to teach him magecraft, though Kiritsugu only taught him the basics.

Plagued by intense survivor's guilt as the only survivor of the Fuyuki City fire, Shirou decided that he didn't deserve to have any goals or dreams for himself and had no choice but to prioritize others. He thus inherited Kiritsugu's dream to be a Hero of Justice as his only purpose, feeling joy only when he helps others and otherwise feeling empty. Over the course of each route of Fate/stay night, he confronts his ideals and trauma to grow as a person.

Name: Shirou Emiya

Origin: Fate/stay night

Age: 17 years old (19 years old in the Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel epilogues)

Classification: Human

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Magecraft, Enhanced Senses (Can make out fine details from kilometers away and snipe targets from such a distance), can reinforce objects and himself with mana, can copy any weapon he sees down to the soul (barring Divine Constructs), replicating the physical abilities and fighting skill of the original wielder, Energy Projection with Caliburn, Forcefield Creation, Homing Attacks, minor Spatial Manipulation with Caladbolg II, Regeneration Negation with Gáe Bolg, Magic Negation with Rule Breaker, Pocket Reality Manipulation with Unlimited Blade Works, possesses incredibly strong willpower (Survived being exposed to All The World's Evil through sheer willpower), Resistance to Magic (All magi have basic resistance to magical effects; due to his ineptitude, Shirou's resistance is minimal, but still enough to allow him to stay alive within Blood Fort Andromeda, which quickly melts the skins of normal humans and digests them), Forcefield Creation (Avalon Shuts out all interference up to the sixth dimension, including True Magic, can block attacks from a "higher order dimension"),  Regeneration (Low-Mid; Avalon, combined with Unlimited Blade Works, allows him to regenerate from lethal wounds such as being nearly cut in half by Berserker and Gilgamesh, regenerating his destroyed organs and reattaching lost limbs)

Attack Potency: Street level (Can reinforce a paper poster into a weapon hard enough to block strikes from a non-serious Lancer) | Wall level (Stabbed and killed Kirei with the Azoth Sword), Island level with Caliburn (Killed Berserker seven times with one strike, emitting a light on the level of Excalibur with the release of its True Name, albeit with Saber's help) | Wall level, at least Mountain level with Kanshou and Bakuya (Can parry blows from Kuzuki and Archer, cut off Gilgamesh's arm), up to at least Island level with Unlimited Blade Works (Matched the Gate of Babylon, which easily killed Berserker) | Wall level, at least City level with Kanshou and Bakuya (Duplicates Archer's strength when projecting them), Island level with Triple-Linked Crane Wings (A C-rank Noble Phantasm, which are equivalent to A-rank attacks, cut through Saber Alter's armor and destroyed her heart and lungs in Sparks Liner High, a Bad End), Large Island level with Caladbolg II, Hrunting, Nine Lives Blade Works, and Excalibur Morgan (Caladbolg II and Hrunting should be somewhat comparable to Archer's, Nine Lives Blade Works destroyed 80% of Berserker's body instantly, and Shirou destroyed the Grail with Excalibur Morgan in the Normal End).

Durability: Wall level (Can handle being sent flying into a wall 20 meters away by a kick) | Wall level, higher with Unlimited Blade Works (By subconsciously projecting weapons within his body, he was able to block a lethal blow from Rider, shattering her dagger, even though she had been previously easily wounding him). Low Complex Multiverse level with Avalon (Shuts out all interference up to the sixth dimension, including True Magic, can block attacks from a "higher order dimension"). | Wall level, higher with Unlimited Blade Works, at least City level, likely Mountain level with Rho Aias (Was able to protect him from Noble Phantasms from the Gate of Babylon, but is weaker than Archer's) | At least Wall level (His body essentially became a suit of swords, allowing him to survive blows from Kirei that would normally kill him instantly, though he was still somewhat injured, and deflect attacks from the Black Shadow), at least Large Island level with Rho Aias (Combined with Rider's Bellerophon, was able to overpower Excalibur Morgan).

Stamina: Extremely high. His willpower lets him move even in a grievous state, such as forcing himself to his feet after being nearly cut in half by Gilgamesh to continue fighting, even projecting Avalon. In Heaven's Feel, he survived and kept on fighting for a day after releasing the Shroud of Martin, something that should've killed him instantly, even after repeatedly projecting past his limits. Even before the beginning of Fate/stay night, he was capable of maintaining a harsh training regimen for his magic on a daily basis for years, turning parts of his nervous system into a Magic Circuit over the course of an hour despite the pain - described as being equivalent to having a burning steel rod shoved into his spine.

Range: Standard melee range | Extended melee range with weapons | Extended melee range with weapons, Tens of Meters with thrown Kanshou and Bakuya, Kilometers with Unlimited Blade Works | Extended human melee range with weapons, Tens of Meters with thrown Kanshou and Bakuya, Kilometers with Caladbolg II, Hrunting, and Excalibur

Standard Equipment: Avalon in Fate, the Shroud of Martin in Heaven's Feel, and anything else he projects. Intelligence: While academically average, Shirou is skilled in combat, and is trained in combat by Saber in all three routes, mostly defensively, as attempting to train him to fight on even grounds with a Servant is a lost cause. He has an undeveloped Eye of the Mind, and can calmly analyze any situation, no matter how dire, considering multiple options and making intelligent decisions. He is incredibly stubborn, putting his all into everything he faces. In Unlimited Blade Works, his exposure to Archer causes his combat skills to develop much faster, and in Heaven's Feel, he can call on Archer's knowledge directly. However, Shirou is quite naive, and his self-destructive thought processes tend to hold him back and put him into dangerous situations.
 * The Shroud of Martin: After Kirei transplanted Archer's arm onto Shirou during Heaven's Feel, he sealed the arm with a Holy Shroud, to keep Archer's powers as a Servant from invading and destroying his body and mind. This was only possible in the first place due to Shirou and Archer's shared origins. By unwrapping the Shroud, Shirou releases Archer's power and gains access to his abilities, allowing him to project far past his limits and fight on par with Servants. This comes at a great price, however, as Archer's Unlimited Blade Works invades his body and mind, turning his flesh into swords and overwriting his mind, destroying his memories. Due to the difference in his and Archer's experiences and internal worlds, Shirou cannot use the full extent of Unlimited Blade Works' abilities, however, and must project mainly off of his own experiences.

Weaknesses: Shirou is naive and inexperienced. He is dependent on his projections and is somewhat powerless without them. He needs to be able to recite the full incantation for Unlimited Blade Works to bring it into existence as a Reality Marble. His low mana means that he can't use Unlimited Blade Works for long and only has a limited amount - though enough to match and overwhelm the Gate of Babylon - of projections before he runs out of mana. Avalon is useless without his connection to Saber, and thus can't be used in Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel under normal circumstances (Though he can still use its force field ability). He can lose control of Unlimited Blade Works' regenerative capabilities and die as his body bursts apart into swords. In Heaven's Feel, he cannot access Archer's abilities without unsealing the Shroud of Martin, which will eventually kill him by transforming his body into swords and overwriting his mind. Projecting past his limits will only accelerate this. His armor of swords doesn't protect his head.

Notable Attacks / Techniques:

Magecraft: Shirou is an incredibly inept magus with no formal experience, having only been taught the barest essentials by his father. He is not really a true magus, but more a Spellcaster, who does not follow the normal way of a magus. His formal magical knowledge is never going to really surpass that of an apprentice, as he fully focused his efforts on the magecraft he was most skilled in, Reinforcement and Projection. He's skilled at using magecraft to analyze an item's structure, and then, by using Reinforcement, filling in the gaps in the object with magical energy to improve any of the object's qualities. While this normally just makes the object stronger, he can also raise his eyesight to superhuman levels. He generally uses it to either reinforce random items for use as weapons, or to reinforce his own body to become stronger.

Projection (also known as Gradation Air) is a high-level magical skill that allows for the materialization of physical objects from magical energy. It is a more complex form of Reinforcement, and thus, Shirou is highly skilled in its use. These items slowly fade not long after being created, though the better the user's image of the item in their imagination, the more stable it is. Despite its utility, Projection is generally seen as effectively useless by most magi, as it is incredibly inefficient. Shirou utilizes a unique type of Projection, Tracing, which is special in that it not only duplicates an object's shape and structure, but its history as well.

To trace and reproduce something, Shirou must see it first. Objects duplicated through tracing are inferior to the originals, but only slightly. Reproductions of more powerful weapons such as Noble Phantasms are even weaker, decreasing in rank. Due to the greater effort put into tracing, the projections Shirou creates through it can last much longer than normal projections. He is most skilled in the projection of swords due to "Sword" being his Origin and Elemental Affinity. He has his limits, however, and is not capable of projecting Divine Constructs under normal circumstances, though he can project a degraded imitation, and was able to project Avalon in Fate due to his connection to Saber. Shirou can also duplicate the special abilities of magical weapons such as Noble Phantasms, due to Unlimited Blade Works.
