[b][h1][center]Fate/Charonioi Klimakes[/center][/h1][/b][i][h2][center]Your Dreams will fall onto the ground and shatter.[/center][/h2] [/i] [hr][img]https://i.ibb.co/Y3gTqgJ/Herc.jpg[/img] [hr] [h3][i]Budapest slumbers as a war occurs under its feet. Magi fight with legends of old in order to achieve their dreams. That which has once returned to dust return once more to acquire that which they could never rectify in life. The cycle continues once more as the curtain is lifted on [b]Fate/Charonioi Klimakes[/b]. Let the spiral of tragedy begin anew.[/i] [/h3] [hr] This is a Fate/Stay Night, Zero, Extra, Apocrypha, etc. based roleplay. The main goal with this RP is to make a communal story, with a heavy emphasis on a narrative and the themes surrounding it. This RP will have some unique rules because of this (which will be elaborated on further down), but I believe it’ll make for a more engaging experience because of it. Ultimately, the objective of this roleplay is to have fun and recreate some of the cool drama and moments found within the various Fate works. As this RP is meant to be more of a story experience, I would really like the players to go into it with that kind of mindset. Your characters are deeper than just avatars to win an online text based roleplay game you can brag about to your friends on AIM. While there are methods to stop powergaming and toxic behavior, it ultimately relies on the players to acknowledge and agree to play with this in mind. This RP will be taking place with Budapest as the backdrop. The standard Nasu mechanics will be at play without any major changes. I want this RP to be an experience for both veterans and newcomers, so if anyone doesn’t feel super comfortable with how Nasu works, that is completely okay! The main thing I’m looking for is good characterization. A character which feels like a good story piece will always be a priority over magecraft-on-legs. [hider=Special Mechanics] The mechanics and story of this roleplay will not exactly fall in line with the format of many of its sister roleplays. Those differences directly relevant to character creation will be given a brief overview here and now. For those playing Masters, make sure to use the Roll Request Form included near the master sheet. We will not respond if you don't use it. [b]0.)[/b] It is highly recommend that you don't center your strategies or abilities around long term preparation or build up of a base over long periods, for reasons to be revealed later. Caster will be given specific, balanced benefits to ensure they operate as intended(based on their rank in Territory Creation) in spite of this. [b]1.)[/b] One character per player. You may have a single character in play. This means you will be playing either just a servant, or just a master. [b]2.)[/b] Servant-Master pairing will be determined by the game masters. [b]3.) [/b]This is a narrative focused roleplay at its core. People will fight, kill, and die, but this is all for the sake of communal story telling and the drama leading up too and resolved by these fights. Do not consider this roleplay PvP, and moreover, fully expect to die before it is resolved. [b]4.)[/b] Family age, Mystic Codes(Number received and their quality), Magical Crest Age, and Magical Crest Quality(An amalgamation of both the value of its recorded knowledge and how intact it is) will be randomized by the Game Masters. If you intend to play a Master, please do request these are rolled for you as soon as possible. [b]5.)[/b] Magical Circuit Quality, Magical Circuit Quantity, Magical Experience and Magical Talent(Natural inclination toward magecraft and accumulated years of experience respectively) will be randomized by the Game Masters. If you intend to play a Master, please do request these are rolled for you as soon as possible. [b]6.)[/b] After all Master slots are filled the GMs will assign to each Master various attitudes toward other Masters, such as 'Enemy' or 'Friend'. Players will be expected to define the meaning and history of these attitudes and incorporate them into their backstory. Naturally, players should cooperate to weave these connections into place. [b]7.)[/b] No enhancements for being summoned in the European cultural sphere(specifically) will be applied to servants. Additionally all servants are to be summoned within Budapest, during or shortly before the roleplays start. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Servant Interest] [i]Players interested in a particular class will be listed here. When a spot becomes (1/1), a player has become accepted in that spot.

Figures before the time of the first flood are banned, and coincidentally, so is Gilgamesh. Gods, are of course, inapplicable- though those of mixed blood, animals(under some conditions), and machines may of course be summoned if they are Heroic Spirits. Composite skills, most army summon Noble Phantasms, and anything boring or too derivative are additionally disallowed. There are several canon servants I will not be allowing such as the F/SN Lancer, so it's important to ask beforehand in the case of canon servants.
