EMIYA

Intro EMIYA is not your typical heroic spirit. While most servants come from legends, stories, or historic people accomplishments, EMIYA started out as an ordinary person and used to be called Shirou. During his early childhood, Shirou once lived a normal life until the conclusion of the fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki when Kiritsugu Emiya ordered Saber to destroy the Grail, causing chaos and destruction throughout the city and taking hundreds of lives. Shirou lost his family, and everyone he knew died that night. While Shirou was ready to accept his fate in the chaos, Kiritsugu saved Shirou and took him in and became his adopted father. Kiritsugu would then raise and teach Shirou about magecraft. While Shirou wasn't gifted and was at best an average mage, Kiritsugu taught Shirou to help others while also telling him how he wanted to be a hero and save everyone, but he realized that this dream is impossible since you can't save everyone. Shirou then decided to carry on Kiritsugu dream and become a hero who would save everyone, and soon after, Kiritsugu would pass away. 10 years after the Fuyuki incident, Shirou would join the fifth Holy Grail War and became the master of Saber, who was contracted with Kiritsugu in the previous Grail War. In the future, a calamity that would've taken hundreds of lives, Shirou made a contract the world (Alaya) and became a Counter Gaurdian. As a Guardian, Shirou took on the alias EMIYA and would often be summoned by the Counterforce to prevent the word destruction. However, EMIYA soon realized that he would have to kill those who would be the cause of these events. After taking hundreds of lives, EMIYA realized that Kiritsugu was right and that it's impossible to save everyone and began to detest himself. Although EMIYA comes off cold, EMIYA is still a caring person who would protect and look after others. Even as a servant, EMIYA enjoys cooking while also giving his master advice if they're inexperienced.
