@Duoya This is a really cool concept! I really like it. Go ahead and post her in characters, great work. Fun read. She took an eye for an eye to the extreme, and never held up her end of that bargain...

Fate/Eigengrau

Also for those of you lurking, not in the discord, if you want to make a Caster just let me know. I would rather just play a master than play both!

The Last Vestal Virgin

"I want to be strong. I want to be feared. I want to be powerful."

Name: Parthenia Elisavet Aspasia Kalliope Metaxas
Title(s): The Last Vestal Virgin, Keeper of the Eternal Flame
Gender: Female
Age: 35
Alignment: True Neutral
Objective for the Grail: Immaculate conception
Command Seal:

---

Personality: Parthenia is something of a megalomaniac obsessed with power. A manipulative woman who always believes herself to be the smartest in any room, no matter the size. She enjoys toying with her opponents and at times will travel the curved road to victory, instead of the straight, solely for her own amusement. Though these traits make her a terrible person, they’ve made her an outstanding magi.

Biography: The Vestal Virgins were once the most powerful women in Ancient Rome. They were the priestesses of Vesta and had the duty of protecting her eternal flame. Considered pure and beautiful, these women were highly respected in society; in charge of keeping the sacred fire alight that represented the hearth of Vesta. These women led extraordinary lives, freed of the usual social obligations to marry and bear children, instead taking a 30-year vow of chastity.

After that vow was over and the whole of their term was completed, it was lawful for them to marry, leaving the sacred order in order to choose a life that pleased them. A marriage to a former Vestal was highly honored, and – more importantly in ancient Rome – thought to bring good luck, as well as a comfortable pension… Thus, the Metaxas line was born. A matriarchal family that does not keep a crest, but a flame. The longer it burns… the more powerful they become.

Parthenia is the only daughter succeeding an abundance of brothers her family saw no use for. Men could not keep the flame burning and therefore had no business practicing magecraft. As soon as the young girl could speak her training began, and as did a deep devotion to a Goddess the world had long since forgotten. Taking the vow she promised a period of servitude as a holy maiden, someone truly worthy of caring for Vesta’s flame.

But with as many times as it had been snuffed out in the past, Parthenia had her work cut out for her. Eventually, she joined the Clocktower, a surprisingly well-respected student due to the preserval of her family's mystery and her innate talent for manipulating flame. Even now at thirty-five years old, in the very last year of her vow, she works tirelessly to ensure her family's success and up until recently has paid no mind to her future duties though that is all about to change…
Unless she wins of course.

Magic Circuit Switch: A sacrifice burning (real or imagined)
Number of Magic Circuits: B
Quality of Magic Circuits: C

Elemental Affinity: Fire

Magecraft:

General Magecraft

The commonly understood metrics of what constitutes the bare basics of magecraft. One could hardly be considered a mage without at least an understanding of these basic principles.

Spiritual Evocation

A type of magecraft which allows one to summon beings or perform spiritual possession. It includes "invocation", the technique of attracting higher spirituality into one's own self, and "evocation", the technique of invoking spirituality on the outside of the self.

Evocation is Parenthia's specialty, often calling upon nature spirits to possess fires she may or may not have created herself, strengthening her control over them in the process.

Fire Magecraft

The spark of Vesta’s sacred fire was lit well over a million years ago, when our ancestor hominids first marveled at the mystery of fire and learned to rely upon it for life itself. They built stones around it. Then they built their homes around it. And eventually, they would build their temples and civilizations around it.

Fire worship is the earliest form of “religion” known to humankind, and it gave birth to the beloved goddess the earliest Romans called Vesta. Represented by an Eternal Flame, Vesta burned in the household hearth. Her divine flame was the spiritual focus of the home and made it a sacred space within which to live. When the fire cracked in the hearth, it was believed to be the voice of Vesta herself, speaking or singing.

The ancient Romans believed that as long as Vesta’s protecting fire burned in the temple, Rome would survive whatever famines, plagues, invasions or political crises came her way.

As a worshiper of this flame, a woman who has devoted her life to the Goddess many have since forgotten, Parthenia is allotted control over the primordial flame. Able to create embers and sparks with basic incantations. Her flames can be combined with the basics of magecraft to perform extraordinary feats such as the following:

• Utilizing fire as a catalyst to induce a trance, a type of mental interference which seeks to manipulate a target.
• Pyrotic communication.
• Employing fire to divine the locations of objects or people, often shown through the smoke.
• Transforming a fire into a bounded field, taming a flame into a circle of protection.
• Ritualistic fire combined with spiritual evocation allows communication with various nature spirits alongside the recently deceased.
• When combined with spiritual evocation, she is able to "tame" wildfires by calling nature spirits into the flame. For example, she could save a building from burning by utilizing the spirit to snuff out the fire, or use that spirit as gasoline, speeding up the inevitable.

Weapons:

Sacred Fire of Vesta (False): Eternal Flame

A type of replacement magic crest, sealed within Parthenia’s body the moment she took her vow. Just as flame is compared to knowledge, it holds the learnings of every Metaxas Matriarch for the past four hundred years. It would be much older if it wasn’t for the mistakes of her ancestors, a mistake she does not wish to make.

It acts as an auxiliary-type mystic code, greatly enhancing the abilities of her magecraft and cutting back on pesky preparation time.

Ceremonial Robes and Dagger

A religious garment to be worn when sacrifice is necessary, she also carries a simple dagger in her possession. Both are made from only the most precious materials money can buy.

@Cu Chulainn That's a great idea

Here is the discord link everyone, for faster communication purposes and idea help!

Fate/Eigengrau

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.
