Just thought I'd test the waters for how interested people would be for a Holy Grail War RP, inspired by the Fate/ series and set in that whole canon. For people unfamiliar with it, its basically set in a world where magic exists, and the grail war is a battle royale where seven magi are chosen to be "masters" and then summon "servants", who are historical or mythological figures several times stronger than modern humans. Some servants in Fate/Stay Night are like King Arthur and Hercules. I'm happy to explain more if you want some more information!

I'll need at least seven people to start this, if everyone's okay with making a master and a servant. If you only want to make one then we'll need even more, so there needs to be a lot of interest but I think it could be fun!

It all depends on the setup. This is a fighting rp where the seven of us fight each other(I assume). Groups may be formed but in the end only 1 shall remain. And since killing other players who also want to win the grail is very complicated, this might not bid well for you. The only way this can go smoothly is by some battle system or at the begging of each fight, the players decide who dies and who wins(although I can't imagine anyone wanting to die and let the other side win and continue Rp-ing).

I would be interested to at least try ('cause I have yet to see the day when a Fate/Whatever RP will go right), as long as it is as canon as possible. Anything with weird extra mechanics turns me down unless it's very, very well thought.

That said,I do have ideas on stock for a Master, mainly inspired on Bazett "Awesome" MacRemitz, but for a servant I'd have to ask your opinion about the usage canon/official ones, since as of the advent of Fate/Grand Order, it's getting considerably harder to find legendary/historic figures that are worth of becoming servants that haven't been used yet.

I will be using a battle system, since PvP devolves into a bit of a freeform mess without at least some structure and means by which players can actually kill one another.

@KoL
I won't be incorporating my own headcanon, if that's what you mean. Everything will be staying along the lines of the Type-Moon world.
As for canon servants, you're definitely allowed to app them, but there will be some restrictions. For instance, some will be banned because of balancing (eg, Gilgamesh), and some because we don't have their full information (eg, a lot of the Strange Fake, Fragments, and Grand Order cast).

@Unoedipal

I see, I wasn't talking about head canon and such. Obviously I would like to see NPC and other characters made by you on the world. What I was talking more was things like changing the Grail System in and of itself for no apparent reason other than "spice things up". You see, it's terrible to join a Fate RP and then half way though it learn that you must win the war by playing Rock Scissors Paper with the other masters, right?

That said, I was only asking the second question as a matter of public utility, I will probably make this as a Servant (if I end up playing, that is):



But it's always good to be aware of one's options, nonetheless.

Oh no, I'll of course have NPCs, but they'll all be abiding by canon regulations and mechanics. So for instance, apping something decisively impossible in canon won't be allowed. That said, the Grail System will be altered from the Fuyuki baseline to allow for evil and Eastern heroes to be summoned; I'm still deciding on the background to justify the system being like that, though.

If you want me to review your Saber now, I can. If not then we can just wait till later.

Ahh, I see, an alteration that actually makes sense. How many times have I wondered why they never summoned Tadakatsu Honda as Lancer, for example...

Well, if you are willing to, it would be welcome. Naturally I'll have to adapt her when you provide a CS model, but the information I have there is all based on canon, except for Le Comte's specific skills and NP.

If you don't mind, could I create a servant of my own? Non-related to the series I mean. Starting from scratch. I'll of course stay withing the parameters and will also change them if they are deemed inconvenient by you.@Unoedipal

Oh, absolutely. There's zero issue with making a Servant, I'd actually prefer it since it's always more original to make your own character. Sorry if that was unclear.

I should say though that they will need to be an actual pre-1900s historical/mythological figure, so you can't app your OC from the year 4000 with laser weapons and stuff like that, but I feel like that goes without saying.

If anyone has suggestions for a background to the roleplay, let me know! I'm working on it, but it's always nice to get the thoughts of others!

I might have some thoughts on it, but it depends on a few things. For example, will you change the place the war happens, like on Strange Fake and Apocrypha? What about the time, will it be an alternative version of the 4th, the 5th, or another one of the Grail Wars?

IMO, the answers to these two questions are enough to begin shaping things, if you have them, then it woul dbe easier to present you with a concept or two.
