ciel ✟ tsukihime/melty blood ✟ not reserved
Outstanding athleticism: As a member of the Burial Agency, a merciless and universally feared organization that is the equivalent of a SWAT team within the Catholic Church of the Nasuverse, Ciel is extremely fit. Swift, strong, and accurate, she can move on top of buildings, lampposts, and electricity/phone line poles with great precision and speed. As a wielder of the Black Keys, she has very good aim with projectiles. She’s also physically trained in martial arts, skills that she has acquired through vigorous practice. It’s been commented that while she hasn’t trained herself to the Master level, she is essentially capable of walking into a completely hostile environment, wander around for 4 days without rest, and undergo 46 hours of combat relying purely on her physical abilities.
Skilled magus: It is the original reason why Roa chose her as his next vessel: because the magical aptitudes that Ciel’s body possessed were outstanding. Think of it in terms of MP unit: Ciel has roughly 100 times the reserves of an average magus. Fuyuki wiki notes Ciel's capacity to be 2500 at the low end or 4000 at the high end, depending on her own personal condition. That's higher than some Servants from Fate/Stay Night, even, so Ciel's aptitude is truly monstrous. More shown in the manga than the VN, she can match Roa with offensive bolts of lighting, put up magical barriers to seal and protect, fire powerful spells that can even harm Arcueid (in a weakened state, but still), and perform healing, although the latter likely falls under sacrament rather than thaumaturgy. She likely also knows reinforcement, in order to strengthen her weapons and her own physique (strength, stamina, speed). From the canon fighter Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code, when going serious and all out in her battle dress, Ciel makes rampant use of her sorcery. In one of her victory quotes, she likens the average magus' capacity to that of a car/motorbike, and her own, to a jetplane. The trigger phrase to her lightning spell is ‘code’; she announces the number in French and the corresponding amount of hits will be fire. E.g.: Code Dix-Sept unleashes 17 horizontal bolts straight forward. The bolts’ directions can go straight or downward like a row of curtains. Her Last Arc (fighter finisher) is named Heaven's Nest. It throws foe upwards with the bayonet of her Scripture, draws a cross while wrapped in an orb of light, and then massively electrocutes in midair to inflict 99 Hits. Setting those aside, due to her ability to tap into Roa's knowledge, she's also versed in Numerology (i.e.: Blue Storm, Lightning Fury – it’s a school of thaumaturgy), High Speed Incantation, and Simplified Repetitive Incantation. She can literally perform more high-level spells than she actually knows, and would be able to easily surpass Lord-tier magi at the Association if only she tried (which she never will).
Black Keys User: As mentioned above, these are her default weapons of choice, though Ciel is proficient with practically any type of weaponry and possesses a personal preference for firearms. They are actually just sword hilts created from the pages of a Bible, but Ciel can materialize the blades and throw them at her leisure whenever she desires. Because of how they are made, she can carry a huge amount on her at all times. She can also engrave spells on them so that they gain additional properties: the entire list is here. Canonically, she is shown to have been capable of pinning a human in place and making them unable to move, by burying a Black Key in the ground and through their shadow. She also stated with confidence that once planted, she is the only one who can remove it.
Regeneration: It's her born ability which allowed her to revive from having her heart removed in the first place, as Roa 17th. Because of her insane potential, as long as the brain, which controls the circuits and the body, is not destroyed, Ciel will slowly be able to regenerate from any wound received. It's a much longer and limited process contrasted to that of her Roa-bound immortality (i.e.: it took her three years to regrow her heart and come back to life), but one nevertheless with use, given her line of career. That body has an abnormal reviving ability.
Suggestion: Also known as "Mystic Eyes of Whisper", they are also possible because of her circuits: Ciel has the ability to captivate ordinary humans with weak magical resistance and make them believe whatever she says. What she really does is subtly encourage people to abide by her idea, and not ask questions in return. For example, canonly she was capable of convincing both Shiki and Akihiko that she has been studying at their school for as long as they remember: she could do that because they had no reason to doubt her to begin with, and she acted perfectly the part as well to match up. Her ability will not be able to fully coerce another to believe something that they have valid reasons to have doubts over, or manipulative another to do something that their true selves would never want. The former happened to Shiki, who became aware that Ciel was manipulating his psyche to in Ciel’s Route True End. He caught on when realized the inconsistencies of Ciel talking about taking over her father’s business when he already knew that it was impossible, because he knew her history by that point and how her father has been killed a long time ago.
Necromancy: Manipulation of dead corpses. She admits this, when characters from Kagetsu Tohya, Tsukihime’s fan-disk, 4th walls the original game. Humorous but also terribly true, she confesses that in Arc route, on the 10th day when Arcueid and Shiki were suddenly ambushed by 4~5 Deads, she was the one manipulating them after preserving them and restoring their bodies. ...Something in her asset, let's leave it at that.
Sample Entry: Anything at
Sample Entry Two:
A terrible miscalculation. There was no two ways about it. On a physical level, and an emotional one as well. Having spent the last two years of her life inside that artificial town, Ciel became very familiar with the structure of Mayfield. The feeling she's been getting since arrival all keep tell her the same thing, however: that wherever this is, it's no longer there. The dry and desolate land, the different smell, the flow of thinning mana everywhere... It's hard to confirm, but this place is different.
That's fine, however. She's an adaptive fighter. She'll systematically hunt down information and decide on the best course of action from there. That's what any Executor is trained to do, as a soldier fighting under the name of the Holy Church. She doesn't expect to meet anyone else who might be familiar with how the Church is back home, though. Two years in Mayfield taught her enough about inter-dimensional shifts like these, in a way (the 'virtual copy' theory was still floating around, but you can scrap the 'virtual' part when everything else feels real). Vampire-hunting is going to get put in the back burner again, at least as long as it's not justifiably warranted. Others are trapped here too, and until further notice, the top priority would be to break the system and get everyone out. Many others are here against their wills, she's determined that much at least so far.
Mm. What worries her is those memories that she still held. She allowed herself to soften so much during her last few months in that town, because she was convinced that once Mayfield ended, she'll be returned home with no memory of anything that's happened. That, or her Mayfield copy will cease to exist, which was okay too. Her friends back then needed her emotional support, but to continue down the road she knew she must walk, she couldn't afford to hold onto such frail sentiments. Especially in such a desolate land, it was more obvious now than ever that playtime is over. She can't slack off any longer.
...
But are the two mutually exclusive, really? She knew far well how important emotional support is. She can fight, but she'd rather heal. If any nasty disturbances were to occur here, as they had the habit to back in Mayfield, then there shall always be people who can use a shoulder to lean on, and a smile to brighten their day with. She can't pretend to be a student or a mother anymore, but she can still be of use and assist others. When put outside of her role as a Burial Agent, that's... What she can do. What's right to do. What's simple to do, even. She didn't have to act as something she didn't particularly care for. And besides... Memories are to be honored, aren't they? To try to throw away the influences that others have had on her would be disrespectful. She already knew she needed to sober up, but maybe... Locking the last two years away isn't necessary, either. She'll definitely have to supervise more carefully her own behavior, but that's nothing she hasn't done before.
Look ahead and do what you can, hmm. Just like before. Seriously... This is going to be quite a toll, but she's alive. So what else is there to do, as long as your legs can still carry you forward?
