A university makes the most sense. I had planned to play the part of an older Master, so I can be some kind of staff easily. On that note, how soon are the servants going to be summoned? If it’s not for a couple dozen posts then everyone should make a non-servant to start with as so everyone can post and set up the setting, unless you don't mind waiting. Also the problem I find is that Fate RPs suffer from one side being favored over the other, ie six people wanting to be servants and two wanting to be masters. Does anyone have a good work around for this?

I'm indifferent on what servants we use, but I do like originality over cannon. Being overpowered would only be a problem if we are going against one another, or bad storytelling. (As no one likes a Mary sue)
