I might try nabbing that Berserker spot if you don't mind.

Is an Einzbern on the menu in terms of master choice? Either one of them or a Matou appeal the most to me. As for Servant, I'll probably either app Magni or Jack the Ripper, depending on whether or not I wanna do canon shit.

Should also note I'm more than happy to pair up with someone else as opposed to playing both master and servant. Prefer it, even.

@Asura

It is yours! Absolutely you can play an Einzbern or Matou (so long as they aren't carbon copies).

That sounds cool! I'm glad you've taken an interest. A lot of people have expressed wanting to play only one character, so don't worry you aren't alone. The more people who apply, the more likely this will be possible!

Fate/Eigengrau

@Cu Chulainn Ahh! Ohhh! I see. This is my bad then, for misreading. Approved! Welcome aboard Assassin ; ) You can go ahead and post your OC in the characters tab. I will be making a roster once more people are done.

Fate/Eigengrau

@Cu Chulainn Hey! So I really LOVE the choice you made. I think it is very creative and I've never seen him app'd before! Unfortunately, Kirei would exist in the universe, though he'd have no part in the roleplay. Changing the picture would probably be for the best, just to avoid confusion. I have to admit before I read anything I was SO scared I was about to read someone submitting him as a servant...

The only thing that concerns me is the double plus modifiers when his NP is activated, which I do understand to an extent, and considering that is his only Noble Phantasm, I think it should be fine. Just know that this roleplay won't take numbers TOO TOO seriously. They are more so a guide to tell us how good the servant is at something, an explanation for specific things they can and cannot do, not necessarily a law.

That being said, some type of recovery from the NP would be nice and feel more "fair" or perhaps if he does not feed off of enough negative emotions, he does not get the second +? I'm open to discussion, but for the most part this app is great. I love it.

A Holy Grail War

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.

Rules

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.

Here is the link to the real roleplay, where characters can be posted and reviewed! Eager to see what you all make.

Fate/Eigengrau

I had no idea I could make a 0th post! Anyway, once you post your OC here I will review it and get back to you! Mine will be coming soon.

Fate/Eigengrau

I'll stick with just playing a Servant in case someone desires just to play a Master, if that is fine! Does anyone from the main F/sn cast exist in this setting, btw?

@Cu Chulainn

They would exist! I will allow people to make members of the big three families (Einzbern, Tohsaka, Matou) if you so desire, but playing as a canon master/magus won't be allowed, they exist but they are not the focal point of this story! Also, I believe my friend will be joining soon and she would prefer to just be a master so it works out just fine : )

Fate/Eigengrau

I just got an idea for a Caster, so I'm going to go ahead and claim that. Later tonight I'll put this in the actual roleplay section, and we can start submitting!

Fate/Eigengrau

@Cu Chulainn Assassin is one of my favorites, I won't reserve you yet as requested but I will put you showed interest!

Fate/Eigengrau

Definitely interested! I'll probably stick with just a Master since people usually want to make a Servant, but if for some reason we are low on players, I can fill a slot if needed.

Quick question though - did the eruption just affect Japan and the surrounding countries, or the world as a whole? My Master will probably be foreign and not as impacted.

@Duoya

Great question! It would mainly have affected Japan, but other countries would know about it of course, though they would care about it significantly less. It would be fun to see that reaction, arriving in what looks to be the depths of despair. Excited to see your master when this boots up!
