Alrighty, now at this point we're just waiting on the Edelfelt, Thule, and Matou Masters, as well as the second Caster application which has been delayed due to real life circumstances.

Since I don't want to delay starting because of waiting on someone to come along to fill the very last slot, if someone without a character on the Japanese faction has not volunteered to make the second Edelfelt by the time that said applications are complete, I'll fill in for that role. I'll make the sheet itself tomorrow evening so that nobody has to wait on me writing it up.

I will be clear in saying that this does not mean I will be competing on the German faction, and that any role in the OOC decision-making process that I have for the German team will be null; you can essentially consider my character as something puppeted by the will of the general faction in that instance. It will not be a GM character and should not be viewed as one, since I don't want to interfere in that sort of thing at all.

Obviously this isn't my preference, but it's the best thing I can think of to do if we don't find anyone in a reasonable time span. If, during the roleplay, someone comes along wanting to join, then I will give the option to take that Edelfelt character off of my hands.

Alternatively, if any of you have friends who might be interested in making an Edelfelt, please reach out to them!

As mentioned, this character's existence does not mean I will be helping the German faction in any way. The German faction should not expect me to take part in their planning despite this character's existence, and the Japanese faction should not worry that I will be helping one faction over another.

Alrighty, so I'm happy to say that, at this point, I'm firming up all slots at this time. This means for all slots except for Matou and Thule, I will no longer be accepting applications. The Matou character by Berserk Gene and Thule character by Yukitamas should be done shortly. I also don't anticipate receiving new applications for those two roles, but you never know.

This means that everyone with an approved application can now post it in the Characters tab.

Now then, let me introduce the factions.

Japanese: @Art of Fun @GrafRoy Zeppeli @Berserk Gene @Ijoyen @MeteorD @Cu Chulainn @Liu Mei

German: @Rune_Alchemist @Breo @Yukitamas

Obviously one side has quite a few more people than the other! That can be either a blessing or a curse, depending on how the team planning goes.

Now then, each faction will be receiving a group PM from me shortly. That will be the "private faction chat", so to speak, where you can talk OOC about plans, make strategies to deal with enemies in advance, and so on. Basically all faction-related chatting should go there. IC planning can also occur, for instance you can say "Our characters met IC and talked about X" in the chat if you don't want to publicly post it since it includes confidential info.

That said, please still use the OOC here for general chatting!

Instead of PMs, there will also be the option for me to set up Discord chats for each of the factions, so if you would prefer that, let me know!

You'll be deciding how to pair people up through those private chats, so start thinking about who on the faction you want. As a note for the Japanese faction, Ruler will necessarily be paired with the Einzbern, and @Berserk Gene has, due to bad prior circumstances, requested he be paired with himself despite my recommendations against, so essentially it's Fafnir and Stheno as the options for the IJA and Tohsaka Masters.

If you want to talk to someone else on your team in private, one-on-one, that's fine but please include me in that message so I can see what all's going on. The same goes for OOC conspiration with someone on the other team. I'm not going to interfere with your planning, I just want to make sure there's as little metagaming as possible.

Information on logistics has been added to the OP, so please ask if you have any clarifying questions on that. Expect to start the roleplay once the last couple Masters have trickled in!

Yeah last time around my partner had to drop out due to IRL, then my second partner had an emergency and I didn't know what was going on, so the end result was not being able to RP much at all.

So I requested insurance against that happening again.

@Over Illusion
Discord works best for me as well

EDIT: Also, I would be interested in joining up with the IJA Master. Also, I noticed the Caster hyperlink in the Character post links to Moses. Dunno if that's a placeholder or not.

Nope, that's just what happens when you forget to change it.

EDIT: I've just noticed that the max number of people you can have in a PM including yourself is six, so since Japan needs eight we'll be using discord unless there are objections.

All characters except for the Thule Society Master, who will be posted today I'm told and the abilities of whom have already been disclosed to the German faction, have now been posted. As such, it's now officially partnering time.

You all will have a 24 hour time window to decide on partnering for your characters. If you have an unpartnered character and there is a Master or Servant you would like to partner with specifically, please state this in your faction's chat.

If 24 hours proves unreasonable and we have multiple still-unmade pairs at that time because people have been busy, then I will extend this. In the worst-case scenario, we will move to random assignment, but I doubt it will come to that.

After pairings are decided, there will be 48 hours for the factions to think of initial strategies as well as to send me the locations each of their characters will be at during Phase One of Day One. If you're confused by what I mean by this, refer to "Logistics" in the OP. For instance, you should send me via the faction chat "Sigurd and his Master will be at the Ryuudouji Temple, Cocles's Master will be at the docks, Cocles will be in Miyama", and so on. After this is sent in, the roleplay itself will begin.

Incredibly 11th hour, and not even kind of what was asked for. I am sorry.

Regrettably, Rune Alchemist's had to dip out, so his slots are now up for grabs.

We have someone already working on the SS Master replacement, so expect that up in the next day or two.

As for the Archer slot, we need someone willing to fill that at this time.

About that Archer spot. I saw the interest check and was wondering if I could maybe take that spot if nobody is already working on a replacement?

Thought it might be better to ask here than in the interest check.

By all means. If you have any questions as you do so, just shoot me a PM. I would recommend running the concept by me first, just to be safe.

You should probably update the character tab so people can see applications are still sort of open

For now, we'll be operating under the assumption that Shioban and Angry Hungarian are filling the Archer and SS slots respectively. Strictly speaking, I'm allowing a 24 hour time period to let others make submissions if they want to compete for the slot.

Assuming either no such competition happens or it does happen but the current roster is unchanged, locations for Day One Phase One are due in 24 hours. Assuming competition does happen and the roster is changed, locations are due 24 hours after that change.

The war has begun. The pieces have been set.

As an aside, the date is August 27th, 1939.

Non-interaction Locations


Servant Assassin is positioned at the Fuyuki Park.

Servant Berserker and Tohsaka Syone are positioned at the Tohsaka Manor.

Servant Caster, Servant Ruler, Matou Youzai, and Uva von Einzbern are positioned at the Ryuudouji Temple.

Servant Rider and Emmerich Lisztmayer-Anschütz von Sabern are positioned at the Eastern Field.

Servant Saber (P) and Janika Edelfelt are positioned at the Big Bridge.

Servant Saber (S) and Frederica Edelfelt are positioned in Shinto.

These individuals are free to do as they wish. They cannot sense any Masters or Servants besides themselves. If they wish to move location, they may do so.

Interaction Locations


Servant Archer and Brauer Herstelle are positioned inside the Church. Due to possessing the speed of a Servant, albeit limited by the flesh of the Master, they have arrived first. They have demanded the surrender of the war's overseer, Arianna Lombardi, in a violation of the Church's neutrality.

Brauer Herstelle's Command Seals burn. He is aware that a Master is present.

Nanaya Saizou is positioned on the very outskirts of the Church's premises.

Nanaya Saizou's Command Seals burn. He is aware that a Master is present.
