The Holy Grail War, a battle of mages, waged by pitting the Heroes of the past against one another for the possession of this wish granting cup of heaven.

This ritual, once carried out in the far eastern city of Fuyuki, has been appropriated by the agents of the Holy Church and established in the city of Prague. Now magi from all over the world have come to Prague to try their hand in the conflict, to summon their Servants and pit their magecraft against one another. Overseen by the gathered agents of the Holy Church, this war will now wage to its finnal conclusion, a single winner who will earn the right to have their most personal wish granted by the holy artifact.

Though similar in name and form, the old rules of the Grail seem to have been overwritten, and now any number of participants of any variety of classes is possible.

Your character arrived in the midst of this, and, after summoning their Servant in a location of their choosing, will be invited to the Prague Castle complex, wherein the Cathedral of St. Vitus sits, a bastion of neutrality in the strange and increasingly horror filled city. There they will be inducted into the war by the Holy Church, and granted the special privileges of sanctuary should their Servant fall in battle.

In the meantime however, other strange forces have begun to appear. Something odd is certainly going on in the grand Cathedral, this so called safe haven. Meanwhile strange disappearances have begun to happen all over the city, as well as bizarre episodes of mob violence. Strange bands of foreigners are roaming the streets after dark, and recently the city's inhabitants have begun going out less and less at night.

Either way the gathered Masters and Servants must slay one another, or so the Church Agents claim, but with no way to predict how many Servants may join the war in the long run, and no assurances as to the current number loose in the city, it may be wiser to find an ally and band together before you strike out blindly...

Though the city of Prague be raised to ashes, the Grail War shall now commence.

@Beloss
Sorta interested. Tell me, will you allow Karna, Ravan and similar indian mythical/historical heroes, seeing as their stories technically DO HAVE some foundation in reality?

@Keksalot Karna specifically is not allowed, though, if you are intent on him we may be able to work something out (something being a weakened form of him) In general I am shy of Heroes who combine things like invincibility with massive destructive capacity as well as peerless skill. Achilles is similarly off the menu for the same reasons.

Other than these few, everyone besides completely fictional modern characters and gods are on the menu.

@Beloss
Can i pick Ravana?
He ain't much, just a master of veena and greatest acolyte of Viswanathan.
:3
(honestly though i really want to have terrifying indian godhead flavor and similar ambitions)

@Beloss

Oho, what do we have here? I'll take a look at this later, when I have some free time. I can't guarantee that I'll join, but just the mention of Fate and Prague was enough to entice me.

@keksalot we would have to discuss Ravana, he is basically a god, which we try to stay away from. I know that Indian legend blurrs the line, but even by the high power standards of that mythology, he is much closer to a sky father figure than a hero, or even monster. We do allow some very high divinity servants in this war, but I don't exactly want it to become overrun with them. PM me and we'll talk.

@KoL bad KoL bad! Go back and post in Paragdim. Anyway, uh sure hope abord mate, we got room.
