Fate/Marion Magi
Plot
Somewhere in the far reaches of the galaxy, a Magical Girl named Homura Akemi had stolen the power of the goddess, Madoka Kaname. With it, she reshaped the world and transformed every Magical Girl and Witch of the past and future into normal teenage girls, unknowing of the grave consequences that awaited her. In her vengeance, she also turned the creator of the Magical Girl system, the Incubator named “Kyubey”, into her own cosmic plaything while cursing it with human emotions, and more importantly, pain receptors. Elsewhere, a bored spectator named “Koyemshi” had been waiting for this moment. In an amusing turn of irony, he offered Kyubey a contract of freedom in exchange for carrying out tasks given by his masters. To perform these tasks, Kyubey would be granted the power to traverse between different realities. The Incubator accepted. In an alternate reality, a priest named Kirei Kotomine had been researching the Second Magic - the power of parallel realities. Ever since the fifth Holy Grail War bore fruit a fictional Servant who should not have existed, the man devoted to finding out the meaning of his own existence became interested in exploring the nature of fictional beings. But in his experiments, he inadvertently let in the Incubator Kyubey into his world. More curious than cautious, Kirei began exchanging pleasantries as well as information regarding his own world and reality. Kirei learned about the Magical Girl system, whereas Kyubey learned of the Holy Grail War. When both saw a golden opportunity to capitalise on each other’s resources for their own goals, they came to an agreement: Kirei would provide knowledge of the inner-workings of the Holy Grail and its bloody history, while Kyubey would supply its advanced tech to ‘materialise’ fictional Servants into existence, a summoning that was normally impossible in the past. Now, six centuries later, the Holy Grail War has evolved. Fictional Servants are now commonplace due to their advanced powers and technologies beyond the bindings of reality, Masters are now only allowed to kill other Servants and not other Masters, the Holy Church has fallen upon discovery that God too was a fictional puppet, the primitive Mage’s Association was defeated by the superior firepower of alien-tech, and the teenage girls of Kyubey's world, forced to become Magical Girls once more, have been enslaved by Kyubey as Servants of the Holy Grail War. You are a fellow Master preparing for the 16th Holy Grail War in this new age of technology. With the start of a new War, who shall obtain the miracle they have wished for?
Rules
1. No godmodding (obviously) and no overpowered characters that overwhelm anyone else. Please check with me in the OOC thread before playing out any world-changing actions in the IC. 2. When applying for “Fictional Servants”, characters can be from any story, movie, game, or any other fictional mediums (see “Roles Applicable” for more information about Fictional Servants). 3. Third person, past tense, A+ grammar and spelling, with a paragraph of five sentences per post at least (case by case basis). 4. Each player is expected (but not strictly required) to post actively, with at least a minimum of one post per three days, an expectation that’s only valid if you have a good excuse. The normal expectation is at least one post per day. 5. Speed-posting is encouraged, but quality over quantity is enforced. Expand the universe to your own imagination, but don’t spam the thread with trivial descriptions just for the sake of writing something. 6. Knowledge of both the Fate and Madoka franchise and an interest in them is highly encouraged, but not strictly required. Minimum information needed to enhance your roleplaying experience is listed under the “Codex” section. Alternatively, if you don’t want to work through bodies of texts, there might be a point in the IC thread where the characters seek information regarding the lore of both the Fate and Madoka realities from the administrator of the Holy Grail War; you could choose to ask your questions then. Take note that this method is much more impractical due to the awkwardness of explaining the lore through IC posts. 7. For those who are already informed about both universes, I’ve conveniently highlighted the changes made to the lore in red. This includes information regarding the summoning ritual of fictional Servants.
