Lazy bad author here that only writes first drafts.

BE AWARE THAT THIS SHIROU IS MY PERSONAL CREATION.

This Emiya shirou is based on the assumption that the archer card is similar to archers arm from the heavens feel route. Meaning without the card Shirou lacks the connection to EMIYA and so does not have access to EMIYA experiences, arsenal and his reality marble.

Where it differs from the manga and anime is that this shirou is half invaded but since he had finally became real, he became fundamentally different from EMIYA, which stopped the invasion and in turned purged EMIYA from himself, becoming Shirou but at the cost of EMIYA's abilities and experiences only leaving behind his origin, element, and some blueprints. Since this takes place on more of a soul level, Shirou's body still retains parts of a servants power.

This shirou looks like normal shirou except with black hair instead of red, due to his origin and reality marble.

In terms of alignment Shirou is lawful evil normally but when he turns into villain Shirou he would become chaotic evil. In terms of his mentality he is still distorted but in a different manner to the fate Shirou. He has no qualms about dooming a world for his sister Miyu and there lies his distortion. He will eliminate anything for her and he doesn't care about the methods, after all he was raised as Kiritsugu assistant. He has killed before personally and a lot more indirectly when he was a child.

If Miyu isn't involved and to a lesser extent Angelica he reverts back to the Shirou you know but more jaded. He has threw away his fake ideals about being a hero of justice but that doesn't mean he can't help or save people. He is still a nice amicable person but he won't go the extra mile anymore. For example if he sees a person in trouble, he would help them if it isn't too much trouble. On the other hand if the underworld was under attack and they asked for his help, he wouldn't lift a finger unless they are offering some form of compensation.

However both versions of shirou would follow mages law, the difference is normal shirou would try to wipe the person's memories first, and other methods before resorting to killing them. Villain would just kill no questions asked.

Both are Shirou but if one was to say which is the one that is real it would be the villain as it reflects his reality marble.

In terms of Origin I'm aware that you can't have 2 origins (never stated but implied.) But this is fanfiction and an alternate universe which allows me some leeway. So basically im combining the two into one to make darkness and sword. Also origin has alot of relationship with death and this Shirou died like twice, one mentally the other physically.

Personal skills

Eye of the mind (true) D-

An insight attained by years of training, discipline and experience.

A combat logic that allows for calm analysis of the situation and the enemy's ability in spite of danger, and consideration of all possible actions in a particular situation.

Since Shirou lacks the necessary combat experience this skill is weakened.

Magecraft B

Having being properly trained by Kiritsugu he is well versed in being a magus, however due to him inheriting EMIYA origin and element, his skills aside from his specialities (reinforcement, projection etc.) has weakened massively however in exchange the former is strengthened.

Projection magic C- (A+)

Inheriting EMIYA's core abilities has allowed Shirou to use Tracing a unique variation of gradation air. However due to the lack of training, the projections take far longer to create effectively making it worthless in close combat.

After months of training and projecting mundane items, he is more proficient with Tracing as a whole, but it still takes far too long to project noble phantasms aside from Kanshou and Bakuya.

Erebus is the exception considering that it is a unique weapon created by Shirou, and that it is not a projection but rather a part of his reality marble itself. A physical and conceptual weapon, It could be summoned into reality and maintain its form indefinitely, but it would still require a small amount of prana from Shirou.

Knowledge of the occult B

When Shirou was raised by Kiritsugu, he assisted his foster father with his journey of being a hero of justice. Sifting through various different fields they searched tirelessly to find a method to save humanity, eventually their search led to Miyu.

Knowledge of modern technology and weaponry D- ©

Raised as Kiritsugu assistant Shirou knows how to use modern technology and weaponry, including the construction of explosives and the strategies employed by Kiritsugu against magi. However his knowledge has dulled over the years of inactivity.

Hawkeye B+

By reinforcing his eyes to the limit it allows for him to see much further than humanly possible.

Cooking C+

From a young age Shirou was forced to learn how to cook for himself, since his foster father Kiritsugu had no talent in household work. At first it was a chore but eventually he started to love cooking, especially since it helped him empty his mind from disturbing thoughts as well as bonding with his little sister.

Affections of the true holy grail – EX (Unlike Illya and Sakura whom are lesser grails, Miyu is a true holy grail as she is considered to be a child of god. Rather then being created for the holy grail war like the former, the holy grail war was created for Miyu.)

This is a skill for one who is deeply loved by a Holy grail, in some time and place. One could call it the greatest curse in the world.

This skill boosts the rank of the recipient luck to exceptional heights, even to the point it allows the recipient to break out of abilities that would normally be impossible to escape from. However this good fortune comes at the expense of other's happiness. Once the recipient is aware of the skill, it allows him to sense the location of the holy grail by following the connection as well as hearing whispers from the holy grail.

If Miyu/holy grail exists in the same world as the recipient, a magical connection is created between Miyu/holy grail and the recipient. (when the holy grail is Miyu gives EX mana, otherwise gives A+.)

This skill still applies even if Miyu loses her holy grail abilities, due to the fact that she would still have a near limitless reservoir of mana.

Archery C

Shirou could be said to be an absolute genius in archery, having never missing a shot at a target with the only one missing being intentional. However since he lacks practical experience of shooting a moving target this skill is weakened.

Older brother's will EX

This skill symbolises Shirous determination to save his sister Miyu at all costs, he is willing to choose her over the world and would annihilate anything standing in his path.

The effects of this skill negates any form of mental interference when Shirou is in this mindset, over wise it gives a buff to his mental fortitude.

Noble phantasms

Known blueprints inherited by the archer card. Rho Aias, Kanshou and Bakuya, Caladbolg II, Gae bolg , Excalibur (devoured.), Hrunting (devoured.)

Known blueprints he discovered, Archer's bow, some of Gilgamesh's arsenal, Sul-Sagana, Ig- Alima.

A brief description of Erebus, the sword would have more than one name to reflect the state of the sword.

If a noble phantasm was the ultimate embodiment of a hero and a divine construct is armaments created by non-mortal beings then this sword had the potential to go a step further, into the realm of Last phantasm: The Strongest Illusions.

A sword that perfectly embodies the concept Sword as it cannot be called beautiful for the description itself will only dirty it. It is instead sacred, made from people's conceptions, a legend weaved purely out of hope. It is the crystallisation of the prayer known as 'Miracle' and all that gaze upon it will recall mankind's greatest desire salvation.

Yet its true form lies hidden even from its creator and wielder by a sheath of darkness, only being revealed if the conditions are met.

This was the sword ? named after his ?, it embodies Shirou Emiya's soul as well as his connection to the holy grail, forged within one man's world of darkness, mankind's potential and the crystallisation of mankind's wishes. It has the potential to reach the absolute pinnacle of the concept 'sword' as it devours the blueprints of other weapons that Shirou could analyse at the cost of him being unable to replicate them. This process is autonomous and cannot be stopped.

True form unknown - owner/creator Shirou emiya, miyu emiya (could be used by her.), Type: unknown, Rank: EX, range:unknown, maximum number of targets: unknown. (sealed until conditions are met.)

Normal form (darkness released/unveiled.) - Owner/creator Shirou Emiya, miyu emiya (could be used by her.) Type: unknown, Rank: A+ (outside of the reality marble) A+++ (inside the reality marble.) Miyu A++ (by her self.) A+++( with Shirou/ within his reality marble.), range: varies, maximum number of targets: varies.

Normal form Erebus (darkness covered.) - Owner Shirou Emiya, Type: varies , Rank: varies, A+ (outside of the reality marble) A+++ (inside the reality marble.) , range: varies, maximum number of targets: varies.

Just for people wondering Shirou's sacrificial blow in the flashback is EX rank but the cost is his death.

(tentative name haven't thought of it yet.) Reality marble - left blank on purpose, until I reveal the abilities in the story.

I am the darkness that shrouds all

Steel is my body and darkness my heart

I have made many mistakes

Always searching for the ever distant stars

Not realising the stars beside me

Yet not all is lost

So I will be the dark night separating the stars

Granting despair to all that seek the hidden stars.

very rough draft of an oc I'm planning on introducing Hideo Arima

Boredom this single word summed up my emotions perfectly throughout my life. If someone was to ask me the question "what do you think of life?" I would instantly reply with that it was dull. There was nothing for me to do, no goals or dreams of my own, I was only going through the motions as my life was already predetermined from the moment I was born into this world as Hideo Arima, the only heir of the Arima corporation and clan.

One might be envious of my position but it wasn't really that great, having your life decided for you from the very start. My family was very traditionalist and they believed that a child should obey their elders as 'it was for their own good'. They weren't wrong though, under their careful tutelage my talents was allowed to bloom into their full potential but such a routine itself was devoid of excitement.

From the very beginning of my birth I was destined to become something great, a person that will stand above all others a leader, a king. This is what they constantly told me and I believed it without a doubt, for I have yet to see anything that disapproved the fact. I was always better than the people around me, I excelled in my studies, in my physical activities and even the mystic arts. There was nothing I couldn't master and that made life extremely dull, my only consolation was that I had a caring master that always told me that the world is vast and one day I would meet my match.

But as time moved on, my hopes became dashed I had only grew stronger and stronger leaving my peers behind. It had reached the point that I was stronger than the majority of elders of my clan, I could now defeat them without using my sacred gear earthbound a powerful sacred gear that contained the spirit of my master Di long. Despite my master trying to cheer me up saying that there would be rivals around my age, by then I already gave up hope I had resolved myself to the boring life of Hideo Arima but then they came along, a group of people who called themselves the hero faction.

A smile graced my face as I remember that moment, it was the spark that ignited my passion that I thought never existed. Their goal was to recruit me into their faction, their mission to fight and defeat all that would bring harm to humanity be it devils, angels or monsters. I refused I had duties to attend to, as the future head of the clan and corporation, I had to put their future over my own, that was the reason for Hideo Arima existence.

They didn't take too kindly at that but they were going to leave, after all it wasn't in their best interest to antagonist an entire clan with the power of both the mundane world and the magical world. However a couple of their members decided to pick a fight with me I think their names was Heracles and Connia?

They were pretty good but they weren't a match for me but together as a whole, the group posed a slight challenge. The smile on my face widening even further as I recalled that moment where they all ganged up on me. To think they actually forced me to use my sacred gear but it was a shame our fight was stopped just when it was getting exciting. But still the fact that they were people close to my age out there who could give me a proper fight made my heart beat with excitement.

For the first time in my life I was tempted to abandon my duty to the clan and join them after the battle but reason took hold of me once more. Yet I couldn't get rid of the idea that plagued my heart, after conversing with Di Long about the conundrum, he advised me not to be rash and consider the consequences first, maybe it would all work out in the end.

Returning back home I sought an audience with the elders. I requested that I wanted a vacation but in truth I wanted to explore the world, I wanted to seek out strong opponents, I wanted to experience the excitement from before, I wanted to live not as Hideo Arima the heir but rather as Hideo the student of Di long.

It came as a surprise to me back then when the elders told me they knew that this day would come eventually, it has happened many times before with previous heirs that latter became the patriarch. They told me I was free to do what I wanted, that I didn't need to follow the routines which governed my entire life, they told me that because I finally had a passion and goal to strive for I needed to leave and only return once I had completed them, without the clan's help.

I chucked to myself softly as I recalled what happened afterwards, I was basically kicked out in a rough manner with my parents and grandparents stating that if I wished to return, I needed to become a man that achieves his goals. But not before they threw out my belongings with a massive stack of cash and a note that wished me good luck.

So here I am with my backpack, at the first step of my journey Kuoh town. It was time for the prince to become a king.

(The reason why he chose this is obvious for plot but seriously, where would one start? So he decides to chance it by picking a random location and starting there working his way from place to place. Shirou ex's luck plays the role in this case.)
