Right, sorry, you probably haven't had too much experience with tags yet. Putting something in spoilers is a good way to condense large bodies of text or images into a small space so that people don't have to look at them if they don't need to, and they're pretty commonly used to shrink character sheets and the like.Glasgow said:
Hellsinger explained how to use the tags pretty well, but here's what your character sheet would look like in spoilers:
Name: Maria Schmidt
Gender: Female
Age: 45
Appearance: Maria is a black, short and thin woman. She had aged horribly over the years and appears to be much older than she really is. Her hair grows thinner by the day - the white, short strands reach up to her shoulders and are left unkempt. Wrinkles litter her face and her tired eyes are colored with an amalgamation of green and brown. She is covered with what appears like a collection of old rags stitched together to form a coat of sorts - but the rags themselves have a purpose.
Origin: Trickster. Maria had learned over the years how to fool those who go after her - with a combination of various spells that alter the senses of those in pursuit of her, she can throw them off balance and teleport them into a fantasy world while she makes her escape.
Personality: Maria had become an outcast from her family in the last decade. Her barren womb had made her unusable for the purposes of the family and her weak trickster magic was called out as too feeble to be used in the grand tournament. She tried her best to please her family but she failed nonetheless - she still loves them, but the solitude that was forced upon her changed her outlook on life. She became more reclusive and had little experience with communicating with her fellow men. She couldn't trust strangers and would regularly doubt their intentions.
Mystice Code: A parting gift the clan had given her before sending her on to their castle in the old continent, this pair of glasses allowed her to see prana in the air and identify those wielding magic and their origins.
A coat she created from many pieces of enchanted cloth, it protects her from fire and the cold.
History: Born to the cadet branch of an old family from Europe, Maria was found to be gifted with magic but not enough to be given much attention. As she grew older she became valuable again when the clan tried to lure in a rogue magician with the promise of accepting him to the house - and marrying him to Maria.
At first Maria didn't like the arrangement at all, but she had no other choice but to oblige. To her surprise her husband proved to be very caring and friendly. Maria thought he loved her at times, and so their relationship deepened. He taught her magic and gave her more knowledge to use so she could study it for herself. He was supposed to represent the house in the tournament but the summoning of the servant failed. The following years tensions grew when Maria continued fail bearing any children and finally at the end of her 36th year her beloved husband officially asked the elders to leave her in favor of a younger wife - her 19 year old cousin. They agreed.
Maria was shamefully expelled from the life of the house and led to spend out the rest of her life in the family's old dwelling - a castle just outside of Budapest. She was devastated by the betrayal she suffered, and her agony continued while she lived ten more years in solitude. Maria thought she would be reading the old library of the castle till her death, but terrible news of her ex-husband's death and the clan's inability to find a replacement so close to the tournament pushed her to become a player herself. She was determined to right the wrongs that were done upon her - and return the time she lost as a mere pawn in the hands of the family's elders. She found one of many remains in the old castle and preformed the ritual... fortunately she succeeded.

To answer your second question, as of now I'm only aware of two teams being formed:
Arcanist and HellsingerAngel, playing Clay Marks and Rider, respectively.
CJ1145 and Redryhno, though I'm not sure which of them is playing the Master and which is playing the Servant.
Which means that, so far as I know, everyone else's characters are still available to partner up with! Let's see, we've got:
Ruedyn's Saber.
drmigit's Assassin.
TheIronRuler's Caster.
I'd try to either PM them or just talk here in the thread. See if any of those Servants interest you and talk to them about teaming up. Simple as that!
