The Story so far

The year is 2030, and the Clocktower has refused to end the Grail War. Despite the wishes of the Tohsakas, Einzberns, and Matou families, the Clocktower chose to keep the ritual going. Rin Tohsaka has been confined to her home to keep her from interfering with the new war. Waver is under house arrest at the Clocktower. Shirou and Illya have left Fuyuki and are in hiding. The Matou family has collapsed. And the Grail?

It needs to grant a wish. All the magic that has failed to grant a wish for so long has become dangerous. That magic has become tendrils, reaching out into different worlds. Lostbelts connected to our world, if only for a moment. Pulling in servants who might not have even appeared in a normal war. This desperation calls out and masters are created enmasse, Command seals coming to even the desperate or weak.

Noticing this, the Clocktower made the choice to bring the Grailwar home. Bringing the grail to Europe, but that never came to be. Mid-way through the journey, the grail vanished. The couriers dead, and nothing but egg on the Clocktower’s faces.

Until… The announcement. The Grail had been stolen by the American mage association. Known to the Moonlit World as the Freemasons, the American government agency of magic that has taken the Grail for their own. Now, the Grail is in Blue Fields, Montana, a lesser known location of the western part of the united states.

A new war begins there.

__________________________________________________________________________
SO! You may be asking, what's this? Well, long-ish story cut short, the grail wars didn't end with 5, but continued. Most major characters have moved on, or are kept out of the grail war proper. Now taking place in America.

Co-Gms will be @floodtalon and @Red Alice
__________________________________________________________________________
Base Rules

__________________________________________________________________________
How this war will work
- When applying, you will make both a Master and a Servant. (You can only make one if you find somebody who is willing to make the other for your pair.)
- The war as mentioned before takes place in Montana. During the winter. So expect heavy snow fall from time to time. Mostly because it's dramatic to fight to the death in the snow.


If you have any questions regarding masters, let me or one of my Co-Gms know. We will be providing extra material in the OOC proper.


There will be more than one of each servant, so you don't need to worry about overlapping.

Do I have the time for this?

Regardless I can probably make time for this.

I may be interested in this. Will see if I can put together a character for it tomorrow. I will likely bring a character which has never been used in a Fate RP, series or game yet. Note that I am not very set into the fate lore or World, I just know pretty much the basic idea of what the servants are after, the matter with the masters etc. The class special skills and such are pretty much what I don't know.

Well, this seems interesting.

I already have a Servant idea gathered up. I'll see if I can come up with Master later.

In any case, here's what I could make until now:

@Dezuel Don't worry too much. We're a really good group, and the RP is focused on being a mostly casual experience. So people don't need to worry about being lore-fu'd to death. For making your servant, we'll help guide you to finding the right skill set as you need it, okay?

@Parallel Hearts I'm going to talk to my Co-GMs about whether we want to deal with Lancer Artoria. Mostly because she exists pretty much as a Fate/Go gatcha creation, and arguably shouldn't even be summon-able in any regular (Or even special circumstances) grail war due to how she's more or less an immortal divine spirit. It can't even really be argued as a lostbelt situation. Since Lancer Artoria is just a thin guise of her Lion King variant from Go. (And that's not even bringing up all the other special stuff she can do as a lancer.)
I suggest looking into a less controversial character idea.

I'm tempted to join this. Whether or not I do will probably be dependent on whether I can come up with a Master; I really don't know much about how magic works in the Fate universe.

@Reflection will this be a standard war with 7 master/servant pairs? The top post mentioned masters being made en mass so I wasn't sure.

@King Cosmos We can always help out in the magic department. Since a lot of people struggle with how magic works. (Even I have trouble wrapping my head around some of the magical jargon.) As for masters, there will be more than the 7 pairs. This is mostly because these RPs attract more than seven people usually. And if one person or another has to drop, it won't be nearly as tricky to keep the momentum up.

That's not correct. Regular Lancer Artoria is an even more viable possibility than most of the Lost Belt related material. You may be congealing her image too much with the Lion King who was an irregular entity that:



The summonable version, such as this one, isn't the same as the Lion King in any manner which is evident from both her in game description and dialogue. To begin with this one is a pretty compassionate and caring individual, that alone should be enough to not mix her up with the alternative version.

I can give up on her if you still don't want this Servant around, but the reasons you pointed are flawed. I guess that an explanation and appeal for you to check her description in the source material is the only thing I can do now.

@Dezuel
We are more than happy to help you build a Servant, like Reflection said we're all pretty friendly dudes. Class skills aren't too bad, each class has their own set class skills after all. Personal skills and Noble Phantasm are where things get tricky, but a lot is doable when creating a Servant and we're ready to help.

@Parallel Hearts
I think that Lancer Artoria would be fundamentally unsummonable even if it were from a Lostbelt due to the fact that she has never died. The Artoria of FSN is only summonable because of the contract she made with the world. Even if a similar contract was made with Lancer Artoria, she would not be summonable into this world, only her own world.

@King Cosmos
I struggle with Magic in the Fate universe, it's some complicated stuff at times lol. There will be several Sabers and such most likely, the IC reason being strange behavior on the part of the Holy Grail, the OOC reason being we're kind of screwed if our only Saber just drops off the face of the planet out of nowhere.

[@everyone else]
I'm super glad to hear you're all interested! If anyone has further questions, feel free to ask any of the GMs, we'll do our best to answer.

@floodtalon I spent some time reading through the wiki pages on magecraft and related materials. Its... confusing, but I have a general idea of how it all works. Unfortunately the wiki has a lot of information on how magecraft works from a lore perspective and very little in the way of examples of what mages can actually do.

As far as Servants go I'll probably just use an existing one, unless I think of a hero I really want to use.

@King Cosmos
I would suggest starting at where you want to be and then trying to work your way backwards from there. If you need help you can message any of the GMs including myself and we can try to help you figure out how to get where you want to be. In general you can adapt most systems of real world magic into Type-Moon friendly magic, it just requires a bit of adjustment.
