Always been meaning to join a Fate rp, but somehow still haven't - maybe it's time to fix that! Would be especially cool to play a Servant or a Master for someone else, but can play both if needed too.
If I end up playing a Servant, will probably go the cliché route with a Saber!
Ohh! Happy to have you aboard. I'll go ahead and reserve you for the Saber slot. Excited to see what you come up with!! Since both of yall expressed interest, we'll probably try and have people play just one character (master or servant). It may be more fun that way!
Alright awesome! Once a few more people show interest I'll be making it a real deal. Yeah, as long as we have the people to support that I'd be fine with it 100%, someone else playing the servant or master would make it more interesting for sure.
Maybe. I always like a Fate RP but got a lot going on currently. But hey, a few questions for you if you don't mind to get conversation started:
1. You don't seem to have yourself listed in reserve list, so I was wondering if you planned to play a character or just play as "the world"/strictly a GM? 2. Are you wanting seven players to each play two characters or just open it up for whoever? Like player 1 playing servant and master, player 2 only playing a master, player 3 only playing a servant, etc.
1. Hey! Yeah, I wanted to play a character as well as GM if possible but I wanted to let other people have the first pick! It doesn't matter to me which class I have to play, so letting other people go first seems fair : )
2. Yes. Ideally, I'd like for it to be seven people (you play your own master and servant) just because that is a very convenient and simple way to run it. That being said, you could make your master pretty obsolete/in the background if you wanted, but I don't want that to be a common theme!
Thanks for showing interest and I am 100% willing to hear ideas/suggestions if you have any. I'm very excited to write the story so!
For centuries Fuyuki City has hosted the Grail War, a tourney in which mages from all over the world participate, calling forth heroic spirits of the past to fight alongside them in hopes that after claiming victory... their wish will come true. The omnipotent wish-granting device has reappeared, summoning seven masters and seven servants in its wake.
The year is 1990, and a rather recent Volcanic Eruption has changed Japan as we know it. Dimming the historical "land of the rising sun" and causing temperatures there to drop, creating storms, producing frosts and floods, and generally darkening the landscape. This extreme weather has decimated harvests as well, leading to hunger, poverty, and displacement.
In the midst of all this, you have been called upon by the universe itself to fight. A deep desire within you, whether you are aware of it or not, has connected you to the grail like a moth drawn to the flame. The darkened sky is merely a foretelling of the tragedies to come and let us not forget the color we see when our eyes are closed. In the absence of light. Perhaps even in death? Eigengrau... the same color as that volcanic ash which has laid waste to the country.
General Rules
First and foremost the goal of this roleplay is to have fun! It is really important to know that we are not writing to win this war, that is pointless. Our focus is on the interaction between characters because who wouldn't want to see Cú Chulainn argue with Francis Drake?
We also have a focus on writing! Given that this isn't as fast-paced as something like discord, try and put a little effort into what you write. I'm not asking for a graphic novel, but a paragraph or three would be nice. There is also something called "writing too much" which we should be wary of! Sometimes fluff is not a good thing. Find a nice balance : )
I will be the first to admit I am not a Nasuverse prodigy. I do not know every little detail about the universe and I never intend too, because I am not Nasu. If you see something you do not like, feel free to mention it respectively! I can only try my best when it comes to the approval process, I am bound to miss stuff.
It is important to note that in a Combat Roleplay, all participants should come out a "winner". You can gain more from defeat than victory. Do not auto-hit or auto-dodge, that is not what this server is about. With a heavy focus on interactions, and a war setting, people are bound to die and 13 of us are going to lose. Respect one another and bounce off of each other in order to create the best scene possible. People are reading ya know!
Character Creation Rules
Do not make servants that were born after 1905. Anyone who is not dead is also inapplicable. Don't even try lost best stuff.
No pure divine spirits!
Please do not try and pull a Touko with your master. Mages can be really interesting WITHOUT having ninety different powers and a million Mystic Codes. Of course, you can make a powerful master, but be original and reasonable when doing so.
I am allowing canon servants but some are obviously going to be banned. Karna, Gilgamesh, etc. Definitely, most of the go-to's are going to be unsuitable. It's advocated that you make your own custom servant but not required if you'd prefer a canon one!
This is perhaps the most IMPORTANT rule for character creation, the nasu-way of writing might as well be its own branch of English. Using a bunch of scientific terminologies and ancient words, fluff after fluff leaves the reader in a dazed and confused state... of course this is allowed, but if you are going to do that, please add a paragraph blatantly explaining how your power works in the most watered down way possible. I should not have to read five wikipedia articles and get access to the Akashic Records to understand what it is you've written.

No, sorry. It's strictly 7 Players - myself, included - at a time. But, feel free to lurk, and if anyone drops, just shoot a sheet for their spot. It's first come, first served.
Alright awesome! Thanks for getting back to me. I probably will lurk, it's fun to read : )
