Mattias Nilsson
Mattias Nilsson is a Swedish mercenary formerly in the employ of the PMCs Tactical Solutions and Executive Operations. Before that, Nilsson was a member of the Swedish Lapland Rangers, and after that, a member of a biker gang who is currently wanted in his home country. Nilsson is known for being exceedingly enthusiastic in the deployment of explosives, armored vehicles, and air strikes, and lives for the excitement of his career, caring little for who he works for, but he does have a soft spot for the "little guy" just trying to get by and is loyal to his (few) real friends and allies. Nilsson has fought in North Korea and Venezuela, killing countless enemy troops and destroying numerous vehicles, and well as personally bringing down two dictators.

Jennifer Mui
Jennifer Mui is a British-Chinese mercenary formerly in the employ of the PMCs Tactical Solutions and Executive Operations. Before becoming a mercenary, Mui was a member of the Special Air Service and MI-6. Unlike Nilsson, who prefers to use overwhelming firepower, Jennifer Mui prefers stealth and sniping. Mui is motivated entirely by the prospect of making a profit from her missions.

Kiritsugu Emiya
Kiritsugu Emiya was born on a small island off Japan, to a mage working on dangerous magecraft related to vampirism. After the island was destroyed in one of his father's experiments, Emiya was forced to kill his own father before escaping the island. Emiya became determine to prevent such tragedies from occuring, and trained in both magecraft and the use of weaponry, in order to become a "hero of justice" and fight mages such as his father, who endangered the lives of innocents such as those on his home island. Kiritsugu went on to destroy a jumbo jet after the passengers had been zombified, sacrificing a woman who had been a mentor of his during his younger years. Emiya later became dark and cynical, realizing that in order to save lives, one must end lives. Emiya was eventually killed in a "Holy Grail War" a ritual performed by the mage's association where seven mages and the spirits of seven summoned legendary heroes fight over an artifact reffered to as the "Holy Grail", capable of granting any wish. Shortly before his death, Kiritsugu adopts a young boy whose parents were killed in an incedent during the "Holy Grail War", naming his Shirou. Shirou appears as the main character in the sequel to Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night

Maiya Hisau
Maiya Hisau is a name given by Kiritsugu to a child soldier adopted from a war-torn country earlier in his life. Maiya became Kiritsugu's trusted assistant, and once she reached adulthood, his lover. During the "Holy Grail War", sniping "Masters"/summoners of "Heroic Spirits/Servants" ("Servants" could not be killed directly by conventional weaponry, but will die for their source of magic power- their "Master" is killed). Maiya was, like Kiritsugu, killed in "Grail War".

=Weapons=

Smith and Wesson 500 (Mattias)
The Smith and Wesson 500 is the world's most powerful revolver, firing a .500 Smith and Wesson round capable of bring down most large game, hitting at a velocity of 650 meters per second. The weapon can hit targets at ranges of up to 200 yards. Even with recoil control systems, the weapon still has an exceedingly high recoil, and the escaping gases are so powerful, they can injure the hand if the gun is improperly handled.

Thompson Contender (Kiritsugu)
The Thompson Contender is a single-shot target shooting pistol that can easily be rechambered with different calibers, both pistol and rifle. Kiritsugu prefers the .30.06. Emiya uses the Contender as a specialist anti-mage weapon, with magic bullets that literally use the targets's magic against them, having an effect similar manner to an electrical charge. Against a normal human, these rounds will simply cause tissue necrosis around the site of impact, but leave no wound.

119's Edge
Nilsson's Smith and Wesson 500, as Emiya's Contender is specialized for killing mages, while the Smith and Wesson can kill just about anything. Also, the S&W has five shots to the Contender's one.

Sig Sauer P226 (Jen)
The P226 is a 9mm handgun with 15,17,18, or 20 round magazine. For the purposes of this match, Jen's SIG will have a 17-round mag. The 9mm round has a muzzle velocity of about 350-400 meters per second.

The rifle has a rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute, and a muzzle velocity of 900 meters per second. The weapon is equipped with an unmagnified reflex sight.

119's Edge
Mattias' XM8 for its superior (or at least more consistent) rate of fire.

The Barrett M99 is a .50 caliber bolt-action sniper rifle. The weapon has a five-round magazine. The weapon has a muzzle velocity of 854 meters per second and a range of 1800 meters.

Claymore Mine and C-4 (Kiritsugu)
The M18 Claymore mine is a remote-detonated directional mine filled with ball bearings that, when detonated, shoot out in one direction, like a giant shotgun blast. C-4 is a plastic explosive with a high explosive yield, whilst still being stable enough to mold by hand or even shoot it with a bullet without detonating the explosive.

119's Edge
Mattias' RPO-A Shmel for its long range ability.

Extreme Durability (Mattias)
In order to counter Kiritugu's speed enhancement magic, I have given Mattias the level of durability he displays in the video game. Namely, he is capable of surviving numerous gunshots, or a single explosion, but concentrated gunfire and multiple or particularly powerful explosions can kill him quickly.

Speed Enhancement Magic (Kiritsugu Emiya)
Kiritsugu has the power speed enhancement magic. This allows him to move at superhuman speeds that allow him to move so quickly that everything seems to move in slow motion. This ability, however, drains his strength quickly, and is thus means he can only use it for a distance of, for the purposes of this match, about 50 meters.
