Calligraphist, Mage and swordsman in that order. Junji is a carefree individual who rarely engages in affairs that do not concern him directly. His family forcing him to make the contract and participate at the grail war was a terrible event to him, and now the only way to reclaim his peaceful life is by winning.

While not very physically imposing, Junji is adept in defensive magic and Niten Ichi Ryu.

Name: Aimon Duritt Redfox

Age: 24

Description: A young magus from a well-off English family notable for holding various position at different clocktower faculties for generations. Although Aimon was set on a path to extend his family's streak by becoming a lecturer, a career choice his parents encouraged, he quickly became disillusioned with the Clock Tower after enrolling. Though he had a natural affinity for the academic study of magecraft, something instilled into him by the strict homeschooling he received, he found most other aspects of the Clock Tower to be unbearable, most of all the politics and the pettiness of magus relations. Though he did not abandon his education or the resources the Clock Tower, he did decide to not pursue any further involvement or a position as a lecturer. He is someone who turned his back on magus society, but not necessarily the magus lifestyle as a whole, furthering magecraft and reaching the Root remains his primary goal in life. He is motivated by curiosity and the intrigue of the supernatural world. Mundane matters tend to be secondary to him, though he does sometimes manage to find amusement in the simplistic life and asperations of non-magi. Spending time apart from other magi has tempered his personality somewhere to the point where he isn't quite as sociopathic as most, yet by the standards of normal humans he can still come across as callous or aloof. His entrance into the Holy Grail War received tenuous from both his family and the Clock Tower, who seem him as an easily disposable representative in the conflict. Aimon's own motivations for entering the war are a bit different from what might assume given his goals. He does not believe the war to be a method of reaching the Root, and in fact even if it were he would not wish to pursue it as a legitimate path to Akasha. Rather he is more curious about the underpinnings of the ritual itself and is curious to the the "process" of the war unfold and hopes to write a definitive book on the nature of the ritual. He is also curious about what sort of magi might be attracted by the Holy Grail War and hopes to meet likeminded individuals. He is also excited about the potential of directly interacting with a Heroic Spirit.

Capabilities: Aimon has extensive knowledge about the basics of magecraft. Though he has dabbled in Alchemy, Runes, Curses and the Flowing and Transference of Power, his forte lies in Astromancy. Having spent a while with the Animuspheres during his upbringing he is adept both at divination using the stars as well as more direct and immediate spells which use Astromancy as a basis. He pursues two paths, that of the Stella Major Claris and the Stella Minor Obscuris, two somewhat opposed approaches to Astromancy which are meant to compliment one another. The former uses the fame and accumulated history of established constellations, stars, their names, meanings and uses in magecraft throughout the ages for powerful spells and even grand scale rituals, while the latter is far more eclectic, providing flexibility and versatility by relying on the mystery and the lack of attachment unknown stars, star formations and clusters benefit from by not having ever been culturally relevant, giving Aimon the freedom to practically create his own personal branch of Astromancy based on his own readings of the stars, at the cost of the power and influence which is lost by not relying on established conventions. His crowning achievement in this field is the Ars Astralogia, a Mystic Code developed under the tutelage of the Animusphere head. It was a spherical construction with ethereal and malleable borders which functions not unlike an orrery, simulating various constellations and star formations based on the user's needs and wants. Rather than augmenting his toolkit with something new, it serves to enhance his magecraft. He posses a pair of Mystic Eyes.
