"With the passing of the Age of Gods and the start of the Common Era, Mankind has become the most prosperous species in the world. The fate of the planet is in our hands. We are the ones who will write its epitaph. Thankfully, there is a map to prolong mankind's survival and ensure its everlasting prosperity.
In the world of magi, this is known as... the Human Order."




Welcome to Chaldea. You are the best of the best. At least that what we’re telling you. But we’re just thankful you’re here at all. Chaldea exist as an observation facility primarily. But since the founding of our organization we have found the odd moment in human history that is a blemish. A point that exists to mangle our timeline, and send humanity off its course. These are better known as Singularities.

To combat each Singularity, a team of four mages are gathered, and then sent into the field. Summoning Heroic spirits in the process. Chances are you have had time to talk with your servant from a prior summoning, or perhaps the servant summoned in done on the field. It’s your choice.

Consider this your mission briefing in that regard. The facility has been in need of fresh blood for a while. You’re it.

Your first point is a small singularity in Fuyuki. Something about things going off path. Anyway, small squabbles like this happen all the time. Show up, find who or what went wrong, and set it right. Time will set itself right when that’s done.

Are you ready? Don’t respond, we’re sending you there now.

Rules
1 - Don’t Godmod
2 - Be a decent person. If you have a problem with another player, you are invited to tell a GM. We’ll do what we can.
3 - There will be only four Master slots. But Eight Servant slots. Each Master can provide mana for two servants at a time.
4 - If a servant dies, the player is allowed to perform a re-roll. If a Master dies (Which is less likely) they are not allowed to re-roll until the end of a Singularity. If a Master quits, another player is allowed to take over the character, and replace them when the Singularity ends.

Servant Gatcha:
While likely unnecessary, the mods have elected to include a Gatcha system. We have made up a list of Servants/Classes, and if interested you can ask to roll the Gatcha. One of the 20 options will be rolled up, and you will be allowed to roll again, or go with that idea. (Or decide to do something else entirely.) It’s for those who have an interest in random chance.

Okay, color me intrigues, but a couple questions:

1. If I don't use the gatvha system, am I allowed to pick my servant?
2. Do the players also play as their servant?
3. What if I don't know much about the Fate continuity?

1- You can choose your own servant. As mentioned in the Gatcha, it's totally optional. The main appeal is for people who don't know who or what they'd want to play, so they're basically asking for a random idea.
2- It is optional to do so. Yes. There are only four masters, and eight servants. You can make a servant but not a master, or a master but not a servant. But you're only allowed to make one of each. So you can't have two servants, or two masters.
3- You don't need to know too much about the franchise to get involved. General rule is "Bad guys are messing with history, so mages summon famous people to fight the bad guys."

@SSW
It's an optional way to get a random servant idea tossed at you. We have Twenty-One random ideas from various mythologies/histories. If you decide you don't like the idea presented, you can request a reroll or just make your own. You are not obligated to use one. It's just for people who might not know what they want to make.

Say for example you want to roll an idea. We'll spin a wheel, and then send you the name, possible classes, and a brief summary of a character.

Ex:
Pocahontas (Rider/Caster) - Princess of the Powhatan's chieftain. She married an Englishman, and acted as a speaker on behalf of her people to protect their culture from the English. Her story has been romanticized over the years, and she is a subject of art, literature, and film. Her true name is supposedly Matoax, which was carefully concealed from the British because knowing her true name would enable them to cast harm upon her.

Giving you a basis to create a character sheet around the identity, and a little blurb for a possible noble phantasm.

Oh, I've been getting into Fate recently. Might I request a gatcha roll, as well?

@SSW
Alright, you rolled a 1.
Taksin (Berserker) - King of Siam. Went insane. Was a powerful general, a hero of chaos who brought his kingdom to peace after destroying an army. Despite his low birth, he was a great hero, who was friends with the person who would later pass him as king. He was the only king of his dynasty.

@Rondo of Blood
You rolled a 19.
Wright Brothers (Rider) - American Inventors and the fathers of flight. They are no doubt weak servants, but can create a rather powerful machine to match anything of other servants if given time. Mostly based around aerial combat, they are inventors at heart. And there are two of them, so that's double the power.

If you have questions, or want a GM to toss ideas around with, let me know.

Well well, we already have some foolsbrave heroes who wish to challenge the gacha. May it have mercy on your souls...

On a more serious note, hey there! I'm Floodtalon, one of the Co-GMs here to make sure everyone has fun! Glad to see we have some interested people, I'm excited to see how many of you are willing to save humanity investigate this boring Singularity where absolutely nothing is going wrong! Promise!

I want you to reread what I said. You can pick a canon servant. The Gatcha exists as a random idea generator for people who don't know what they want to make.
And I want to rephrase myself for one bit. You are allowed to make a servant and a master, but you can't have multiples of both.

There's nothing stopping you from apping a Servant from canon, the gacha is merely here as a suggestion. If you decide you hate our Servants, feel free to grab something from canon! Just uhhh, don't grab Gilgamesh. This is a benign Singularity according to Chaldea radars, there's no reason to bring in the big guns. Unless your Noble Phantasm is a big gun.

Hm... it does seem interesting, but I was leaning towards doing a Caster of sorts actually.

Sorry, I misinterpreted that bit. I already have ideas who I want to use, just need to service on who...

And I take it masters would be the player character. I'll get back to you on this. I'm at work and typing I my phone.

That's fine. The Gatcha is just a suggestion system. If you want to, I'm fine writing up some casters and then spinning a wheel on that.
On a side note: The Wright Brothers are Riders only in the sense that they fly in a plane. As inventors they also fill the role of Casters, so they can invent new weapons and such. So they're more like modern casters than spell book casters.

Oh yeah I can definitely see the Wright Brothers being the more modern sorts of Casters, but I was moreso looking for someone more... mystical, I suppose.

I think I'd like to spin the Caster wheel if that's fine.

Not sure about the one I rolled either, sorry. I've got a few others in mind, though some of them might be a bit eccentric for team play. Is it an issue to play someone who's likely to be as much of a hindrance as a help?

Alright, that's fine. Let me know who you think up. Characters who don't work well in a team can be interesting to play around. But it might be a good idea to send them in first, because it's still an iffy subject depending on how much of a nuisance they are.

@Rondo of Blood
Alright, Re-Roll
Took a bit to scrounge a good list together, but how about...
John Dee (Caster/Assassin) - He was a book collector who along with Edward Kelly rediscovered the language of angels. (Or demons, there is basis for both.) He had a massive library, and was considered a cunning mystic. Also, for assassin he was considered the Queen’s Spymaster. Something with little basis, but is still believed to this day. Giving him a lot to work with. (One of the books in his possession is said to be 'Book of Soyga')
Or
Chen Gong (Caster) - He was Lu Bu’s strategist. Lu Bu didn’t really listen to him, but fate lore has it that he had more influence than he did historically. In Fate, he's the creator of God Force, a weapon used by Lu Bu that is said to be capable of being all weapons. And a major strategist.

Hmm... after a bit of thought, I think I might do a Lancer instead. Those two seem like cool choices though for future reference!

I had a Lancer already in mind. I think he'd be on the higher tier of things? He's Greek and he stabbed a god or two, if that gives any ideas.
