Hello everyone, I'm interested in running a Nasuverse/Fate RP centered around a Holy Grail war. The setup, for anyone unfamiliar with the premise, is a battle between seven teams of two, a Servant and a Master each, with the last group standing receiving a wish from the Holy Grail. The plan is to set the war in Boston, Massachusetts. Anyone familiar with the premise knows it's not a Grail War until something goes terribly wrong and ruins the whole thing for everyone but we will be starting out on the simple, tried series formula and rolling in the plot as things progress. About the plot; while it is my intention to fish around with plot hooks and abnormalities for interested players my first priority as a GM will always be supporting player driven storylines and furnishing the world for whatever kind of game ours turns out to be. It is my belief that the characters are always the core of a fun roleplay, and there can be none more important than the Servants and Masters brought in by the players.

The underlying scenario for the thread is pretty much ready to go and I'm in the process of finishing up the OOC thread, so you won't be left waiting once we've got a party together. Depending on what the players want to do we can wait for a fuller cast and focus on the war itself, or move forward with a few teams and stick closer to the plot. 

If you're interested at all or have questions, drop a post here or feel free to PM me. I'll always be glad to help anyone out. Whether you are unfamiliar with the franchise, drafting a character, or just curious about elements of the thread it would be my pleasure to assist. Thank you for reading.

[hider=Rules and things to remember]
[center]1: Be courteous and follow all general RP rules (no autohitting, godmodding, metagaming etc). Your characters might not respect each other, be the asshole of your dreams IC, but the joy of trying to murder each other in game is made better when we, as a community, respect each other and collaborate towards a fun game.

2: There will be combat in this RP. Some of it will be PvP, maybe most of it if that's what you folks are into. Please try to be reasonable with one another and remember we're all here to have fun. If disputes arise, I will settle them.

3: Characters will die in this RP. That being said, I take serious issue with 'falling rocks' style unreasonable deaths and do not present unwinnable situations. Also, your character's death doesn't necessarily mean you're on an automatic out of the thread. Obviously you're welcome to hang around in the OOC all you want but IC there are definitely some shady things we can have you participate in if you're interested. Or, you know, the situation will probably permit rolling a new character.

4: Nasuverse rules are almost always made to be broken. I'm not going to be overly pedantic about canon restrictions when the canon goes out of its way to modify them with every new addition. Generally speaking, if it can be backed by even the slimmest modicum of good old logic and mythology, we'll be good. 

5: Please try to post regularly. Stick with us, engage in the OOC, and lets get a rotation going. If you've got to go, either on a break or for good, [i]please[/i] inform me. You have my solemn promise that there will be no hard feelings either way: No game is better than a bad game and sometimes one just isn't for you, I just need to know if we're down a poster for the good of everyone else. If you're gone for a while and I can't get in touch with you after trying, your character will be controlled or replaced for your partner's sake, but you will be welcomed back if you return.

6: There's no problem with apping canon Servants as long as they're actually eligible to be here, but I would strongly encourage people to respec their favorite Servant or draft up a legendary spirit new to the Fate treatment to keep things interesting. As above: Need to bounce ideas off someone? I'm all ears.

7: As far as reserving character spots, I'm fine with you reserving a particular spot if you wish to do so. I understand it takes a while to make a character. If you reserve a spot and disappear though, I can't hold a spot for someone not communicating with me or the thread.

8: You are welcome to run both a Master and a Servant if you'd like, the only restriction being that they cannot be paired together. Actually, I strongly encourage running Masters (they always seem to be in short supply). You're certainly not required to run more than one character though.

9: Tact is always the word of the day. I prefer to keep things relaxed and communal when it comes to the thread. Please do your best to do the same and treat your fellow roleplayers with respect and dignity. That doesn't mean you've got to be up front and greeting everyone in the OOC if that's not your style, it just means these things work better with the understanding that we are all working together. I am always willing to help you and hear you out.[/center]
