@NRVNQSR: There's a couple available Masters and more on the way if they don't appeal to you, so I'm sure you'll find someone.

@GummyCat: Thanks four the heads up, eh-heh.

@Dblade26: Should probably blank that post now so no-one gets confused. ^^;

On a wider note, if people who can post haven't posted after a bit I'll be sending reminder PM's. After all, it's important people remember to post for this for the sake of the ones they're paired with.

For now, I've already received some private speculation of Servant identities that makes me really kind of happy I went with secrecy for Servant identities. It's fun seeing what people think.

Want some more responses at Castle Tepes before I reply again. ^^;

Fio Mal-Rai

Still grinning, Fio gave firm nod in response to her Servant. Right, that was quick and to the point, and to e truthful she could respect that. It was exactly as he described, after all. He was now bound to her, and he was her only chance to obtain the Holy Grail for the Association.

Caster's suggestion that he got to know the landscape made perfect sense to Fio, as well. Even if her Servant had not made such a request, doing so was immediately on her mind when she first arrived in Redrock. One of her first acts as preparation for the war upon arrival was to do some thorough investigation of the town and the surrounding areas, as well as utilize information provided to her by the Association. It was half-way between a large town and a city, it seemed, caught in development. Around it was a large forest, perfect for covert operation if you so chose. In Fio's opinion, while she wasn't an idiot she was also not the stealthy type. Besides, if her Servant was Caster, couldn't he manage the subterfuge?

"Of course, of course," she said, waving her hand. "It doesn't make any sense not to get a good look at the battlegrounds, now does it?"

Saber

Saber was silent as she regarded her Master. For a few moments, quiet, it seemed as if the somewhat taller girl before her was hesitating before confirming their contract. She could not say she particularly approved of such hesitation, but perhaps it was simply a case of the girl needing to get her bearings. As someone who possessed no capability for the use of magecraft, Saber had no knowledge of how such a ritual as the one required to summon a Servant would affect the summoner. So she did her best not to comment on the hesitation, though it was a struggle to hold her tongue, and wait until her potential Master accepted.

At last, the girl indeed did, and Saber stepped forward, clasping both her hands in front of her before bowing low to her Master. Holding this position, she began to speak. "My class is Saber, as stated. I should certainly hope that mishearing what is said to you is not a common occurrence, as that could be very dangerous in battle."

She paused for a moment. Now, though her Master seemed to easily miss information if she did not know what Saber's class was and required it repeated, it was a simple fact that the Japanese Servant truly wished to speak of her deepest desire to the girl.

"I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity you have granted me. To serve a Master once more and aid them in battle is my sole desire in this war," she continued. It was all she wanted, the opportunity to once again serve a Master and fight for them, to conduct honorable combat against foes in the name of winning victory for the one who commanded her.

Saber rose, straightening at last from her bow, and tilted her head upwards to look directly into her Master's eyes.

"I will win you the Grail, for that is my duty."

I'm not exactly sure what I said that you found insulting. It's not like that kind of thing is only bad when you do it, it's bad when anyone does it. No-one should throw rape in just for drama.

Fio Mal-Rai

Fio stood as still as she could, her eyes open for as long as she could manage as the circle grew brighter and brighter. However, when the glow became too much, she had no choice but to shut her eyes and shield them from the brilliantly shining circle. For a few moments, as the images remained in her vision before eventually fading into darkness, she remained. At last the magus hunter opened her eyes, and they fell upon her Servant. It was a man, a Chinese man to be specific. Clad simply and with a calm expression, he seemed something like the respectable sort. Perhaps not as ornate as Fio had hoped for when it came to a hero from legend, but choice in clothing was hardly a chief concern of hers. Indeed, the identity of her Servant made this appearance quite fitting, to be truthful.

And there, of course, was the question. The one that sealed the deal and forged the final bond between Master and Servant, rendering them as a pair in the battle to win the Holy Grail. With a grin, Fio jerked a thumb towards her chest.

"Of course I'm your Master," she began, the tone of her voice practically dripping with a thick coat of confidence, "And you don't have to worry, 'cause I'm the best Master you could hope for."

Saber

The circle blazed with light. The intensity of the glow grew and grew, flaring as the girl chanted the incantation that would bring about a heroic spirit. A wind seemed to originate from the center, forced outwards and casting a burst of air through the area. And indeed, as the light grew, so too did a growing mist, rising and pouring out from the circle. What else could be expected from the summoning of such a being? A ritual of this nature could not possibly be a quiet and peaceable affair. No, indeed, the light built, the mist grew thicker, and then-...

Then it all faded away. For a few moments it seemed as if something was wrong, but suddenly something began to build in the center of the circle. Motes of green light drifted through the air, collecting and swirling in the center. As they joined together, they began to construct... something. A shape was formed, starting with a pair of armored sandals, then legs in black leggings... further and further, the light traveled, forming an ornately layered hakama with various designs upon its dark pink and white surface, and lacquered armor plating. Further and further up, forming an elegant female form clad in fabric and lacquered armor. Arms were folded across her chest, and at last, silky black hair, a youthful, soft face, and several ornamentations formed from green light. Fixed to her hip was a sheathed katana, or more accurately a nodachi. Only a nodachi would describe a blade of that sheer length.

That soft face was turned in a serious expression as the girl looked upon her Master. She was not at all tall, but at the same time she cast an air of power about her, one someone would expect from a warrior. So, this was the one who had summoned her? Who had called her to the world in order to battle for the Holy Grail? Inclining her head to the side, the black-haired young woman knew precisely what action to take next.

"My class is Saber," she began, "As the one who summoned me, you can only be my Master. Is this correct?"

Also, you can skip the summoning sequence if you so choose. Not every Master is going to be summoning at the same time, after all.

@Weird Tales: I'm not the GM, but...

No, you didn't directly state it, but it's beyond just being implied. Rape can be utilized in character backstory properly, and I know of a couple of good characters who have backstories which do properly use it off the top of my head. However, just throwing it in to make things darker or generically edgy is offensive and frankly disgusting. Handling the topic remotely well involves a lot more then just tossing it in because it's traumatic and you want to do traumatic things in your character's backstory. Does that seriously need to happen to her to have her have had a rough backstory? Nothing in her character indicates that it's a necessary part of what has created your character, unlike the good characters I know of who have it as part of their backstory.

It's not a topic you take lightly and just shove into things to make them dark and edgy.

... Also all she has to do to murder literally everyone in an area is talk loudly enough, so I can pretty much guarantee no GM would accept that even with that terrible backstory.
