The whole point of role playing a master...

Stop right there. People roleplay different things for different reasons, even same things for different reasons. You can't define the point of role-playing for someone....
Me for example, I might want to role-play as a master so those living legends address to me as "Master" or because of the idea that I have control over them and can issue commands to them.

Sure, but that only goes so far. You can have different aims. But if you're aiming for a character that can fight on par with a Servant, you're objectively looking in the wrong direction.

@ReflectionNah, I'm not against the overpowered nature of your character. It just feels out of place to have so many phantasms in so many diverse areas. Detection, charm, chariot and etc. These all feel like basic powers a servant might usually have instead of being defined as his phantasms.

I think overpowered servants add a lot of depth to the roleplay as long as the person roleplaying is flexible and reasonable. Look at Gilgamesh or Iskandar. If one were to look at their sheets beforehand, they'd think there's no way they'd lose and yet they did. Likewise for characters like our blue lancer who had a phantasm that had a one-hit kill move that altered the very laws of the universe (yet still didn't 1 hit kill). You also had other servants who had seemingly overpowered skills but were unable to utilize them conveniently or to their full effect due to their circumstances which is usually seen in casters.

Wait what tf did you know this?
(The Command Spells's) ...their truest purpose is to allow the winner of the Grail to force the Servant to kill themselves so that the ritual to reach the Root with all seven Heroic Spirits can be completed.

So was Lancer in Unlimited Blade Works; you can order a Servant to do anything with a command spell but that's not the point of that quote.

From my limited understanding the way the grail war works is that by filling the grail with the mana of ALL SEVEN Servants the grail gains enough power to grant the winner of the war any wish they want. Every Servant needs to die for the ritual to be completed, not just the other six; in other words a Servant can never have their wish granted, or at least not and live to see it, since they need to die as well for the grail to be complete.

I could be wrong though and that could only apply when using the grail to reach the root. Maybe other wishes take less power and therefore you'd be able to have your wish granted even before the war ends if you can get your hands on the grail and enough Servants have died to fill it up. Plus there are examples like the Great Grail War in Apocrypha and this case where there are more than seven Servants so not every Servant would need to die, since it's to do with the amount of power in the grail and not a hard rule of all Servants need to die.

I don't know. Fate is weird.

Is it too late to try and take a spot as a master? Because I'm a big Fate fan, and if I miss out on this I'll probably hate myself for a good long while.

On the subject of Masters, if anyone wants to be Ajax's Master I am open to any suggestions. If not I'm fine being paired with a random Master once everyone has joined.

Out of curiosity, will there be a Discord Server? I think it'd be best to have one, so we can discuss Master/Servant connections, and who ends up working with who.

As well as ideas for interactions we'd like to see before a character dies.

Quick check-in, sheet is about sixty percent done. Hadn't mentioned it before, but I'm making the master for @Plank Sinatra's Lancer.

Cojemo said it was fine if people were planning ahead with pairs when asked, and everyone else would probably be randomly assigned. Plank and I were just planning ahead. As for the Lancer, well, I'll let him showcase that when he's finished.

@Cojemo Any idea on when we'll be starting? Or if we'll have a Discord group? I can probably set one up and leave an invite for the group to set up and discuss ideas.

@ReflectionI think you should go ahead with it since ultimately you could pass Cojermo admin privileges anyway. Btw do you want to partner up with my master?

Well, I've finally decided that I want my master to be someone who, while not very talented at most forms of magic, is very good at making Mystic Codes. The only problem is that I'm stupid in real life, so I may not always understand what I'm saying. If anyone catches me saying something stupid, could you let me know?

Finally got a first draft done, pending a little tweaking and revision.
