On the topic of Masters, it also surprised me that they filled [i]before the Servants[/i] even. But I guess that the whole revenge plot thing is a good catalyst for character concepts, as opposed to the "yeah your guy wants something real bad" of a traditional Grail War RP. Here you have a well-defined goal (humiliate an old man), a character archetype set out for you (upstart magus who was humiliated by an old man), and a reason to be there (also to humiliate an old man)
