Fate / Fading Days

---
 


---
The year is 1926.

You were all seeking something, for one reason or another, you had all come together...

Magus, Executor, Enforcers, Freelancers... Whatever you want to call yourself. You all had answered the call of an individual who had contacted you, calling on your services to accomplish a task in trade of what you sought out. It was neatly placed into a letter that had all that was needed to reassured you that what they were saying was true, having found its way to you where ever you were at the time. 

Signed by the name of 'Naomi Kurokami'

Not knowing what to expect, you guys finished your tasks that had you preoccupied before getting yourselves ready to head over to East Asia where your contact wished to meet you in Okinawa Island, Japan. 


---
This will not be your typical Fate/stay night roleplay, as we will be focusing on the group of character that you guys make will be making for this. With the branches of this story will be woven around around those individuals, their backstories and goals will be necessary for painting the opportunities to be explored as a collaborative project between everyone here. The goal of this is to build a prologue with weight behind its story and give our characters depth for the eventually of the Holy Grail War that our story will collide with, there is no doubt about that.

In this iteration of the Type/Moon universe, it has been separated from most of the existing canon allowing for freedom of artistic liberties. With knowledge of the Holy Grail was something not even the most studious of the esoteric in the magus world knew about, shifting the course of this universe's history. With the opening as ambiguous as this, we have a variety of options for our story to start off with.

If you guys are interested, I encourage you to join! 

As a side note we'll be using the Dungeon and Dragons 5e system to determine to keep everything in check for combat and story purposes, please be aware of this.




I assume you guys already know the rules that you should follow with etiquette with each other so I'll get on with the specifics that I wish to say before anything else.

Due to the nature of this roleplay that I envision, the activity of you as the player and the quality of your characters will the prime variables that I'll be judging applications on. Reasonably, I can only handle up to 7 characters maximum but small exceptions can be made.

Expectation for activity aren't strenuous but just something to ensure that the project does not die out. With at least one or two posts a week minimum for the group that we will be having.

After that, its honestly just have fun and hopefully we can create something epic together. I'll be more than willing to help and work anyone if you give effort into what you are providing.



Just curious to see if there is any interesting in this before I take it to the next level, if anyone is interested just pop in to say hi!

@1Charak2@Ryougu@Crusade@DeadDrop

Thanks for all the replies, I'm glad you guys are interested to try such a new take on an idea.

Though a question of how servant characteristics would be handled (especially in the case of skills like imperial privilege)1Charak2
In terms of Servant parameters, I plan to do them in the same style as our protagonists, where if they are truly are top quality individuals will mean that they will be near unlikely for our characters to oppose them (as servants do).

As for characteristics, I am perfectly fine with anything such as imperial privilege being on a servant so long as it makes sense. I would rule that the skills gained would no doubt be inferior by at least a single rank or two. With these class skills and personal skills, they will be translated over into Dungeon and Dragon format where we can get a solid understanding of their capabilities.

E = 14 (+2)
D = 18 (+4)
C = 22 (+6)
B = 26 (+8)
A = 30 (+10)

While I am uncertain of how to interpret all of these stats, I'm sure I'll figure that out in time. So in case it wasn't clear yet, I'm interested. ^-^Ryougu
In the grand scheme of things, we'll just be playing Dungeon and Dragons placed within the Fate Universe so I'll walk everyone through the system when we build the characters. If you still have question, feel free to ask!

Hella numbers.
Anyway, memes aside, seem pretty interesting, so I'll toss my hat (Helmet?) inCrusade
 Hahaha, no worries, even the format I that I had set everything up in was a bit confusing and tedious for me to look through. Hopefully I can mesh everything together that is digestible for you guys 

I'll try mentioning this interest check to a few people who are in the scene with this type of roleplay to see if I can grabbed another person or two. Either way I will be hitting you guys up soon!
