• No Servants Older than Gilgamesh
  
  • He's the king of heroes for a reason, the most powerful Servant is also the oldest.
• Few Servants from 1900 or later
  
  • Very few Servants come from beyond this point that qualify outside of the Moon Cell, please be careful if you choose a Servant from beyond this date.
• Great Grail War
  
  • There are two teams, but any slots that are not filled will be occupied by NPCs.
• Classes
  
  • The Servant classes permitted in this RP are the standard seven. However, one of the two Casters may be replaced with a Foreigner, and one of the two Berserkers may be replaced with an Avenger.
• Lives System
  
  • As stated above, the RP will operate on a three lives system to encourage more bold behavior on part of the players. As a result, you cannot lose your character without using up three chances to survive unless you agree to your character's death or the situation is impossible to prevent.
• No reality marbles
  
  • These are super-rare. Exceptions MAY be made but it's unlikely.
• Have fun!
  
  • That's what this RP is here for. Follow standard RP etiquette and my guidelines, and you should have no problem.
• Co-GMs

• Name: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, proud owner of a stupidly long name.
• Class: Saber
• Appearance: Still just letting you see.
• Abilities:
  • Strength: D
  • Endurance: B
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: B
  • Luck: B
  • Noble Phantasm: -
• Class Skills:
  • Magic Resistance: C. Despite being a Saber, Nero boast a pitifully low magic resistance due to her own lack of interaction with the art.
• Personal Skills:
  • Divinity: A++ (D). With the family descent from Mars, and holding a direct descent back to the founding of the family tree through her mother, Nero holds a natural level of Divinity. However, through Imperial Privilege--and specifically the Imperial Cult, which holds the dead Emperors as deities and in places and parts held select Emperors as living gods, including Nero--she has achieved the highest possible level of Divinity. Not that this does terribly much, but it's good for her ego.
  • Imperial Privilege: EX. A function of Aestus Domus Aurea, Nero's insistence that a certain ability should be the providence of the Emperor can make this a reality for a period. Such insistence is the entire basis for her class, granting the Emperor a truly impressive grasp of swordsmanship for one that would never have needed to use it, and skills in the various fields of athletics the Romans entertained (including wrestling, even if you're a lion). Such insistence gives her a truly diverse skill set despite her lack of direct combat power, from Riding through to all aspects of leading, arranging, and planning a military campaign from the tactical to the strategic level. These skills also work on the less relevant civic level--legal matters, politics, architecture and city planning; the role of an Emperor is vast. Finally, Nero's belief in her own artistic talent can be fully vindicated through the expression of this skill, although given her lack of taste...
    Only in two regards does this give Nero an ability that could be considered 'supernatural': augmenting the Divinity so attributed to the Emperor, and a link to the Emperor's role as Pontifex Maximus in the guise of casting and reading various auguries. Why would an Emperor possess some power not of this world, save for the gods' favour?
  • Invictus Spiritus: A. A skill born from an anecdote where, three days after her death, a servant thought to cover her body--only for the apparently-deceased emperor to open her eyes and thank him. It is further born from the possibility of a wraith born of her resentment still lingering long after her demise...
    Similar in nature to Battle Continuation, only rather than allowing for her Nero to continue fighting after receiving a fatal wound, it instead means not dying when fatally wounded--at least, not for a much longer period than a Servant should be able to hold on despite the severity. At this rank, stubbornness alone is enough to force survival for several days in spirit form regardless of injury--although on her own, she could never recover from this state.
  • Migraine: B. The greatest limitation on Nero's exercise of her considerable talents is, of course, the frequent recurring migraines. At least her ability to swing a sword is undiminished.
• Noble Phantasms:
  • Aestus Domus Aurea. Type: Reality Marble. The manifestation of the Emperor's unyielding belief in her own abilities and ego, even in the face of an uncooperative Senate, a coup, and even her own madness. It takes the form of the theatre that at once expresses the combination of her civic abilities in rebuilding from the fire, architectural skill, and a venue for her artistic ambitions. Passively, it grants her the ability to access skills she never learned or at a level superior to her life (see above) and justifies her position as the strongest class of Servant.
    Activated, the world created is a perfect venue for whatever the Emperor might desire--cooking or arts, gladiatorial combat or simply fighting. In the face of the Emperor's magnificence, enemies' statistics are ranked down, progressively getting more severe if the theatre is maintained for long enough, such that none may outshine the theatre's star. And of course, Nero herself is strengthened--the environment of her theatre is always going to match her desires, and within its confines the truly theatrical like a flaming sword and roses are all but guaranteed.
• Personality: There are several words that can be used to describe Nero's attitude, but inevitably it all comes round to the obvious: if there's anyone in the world that can possibly compete with her by ego alone, then it's the King of Heroes, followed shortly thereafter by the King of Conquerors. She assumes, from the start, that she is the greatest of artists, able to rival the very gods themselves, and that everything she does must be perfect. To that end, she puts a truly vast amount of passion into everything that she does--a passion that she expects to be reciprocated, even if her subjects cannot possibly match it or understand the art produced.
  Her driving desire, besides art, is beauty (and for some reason, competing with Heracles. Given that she's a short girl, wrestling a lion might be impressive but it's a long way off), and it doesn't matter if you're male or female to that end in getting her interest. Because of this, she has little direct interest in wealth or treasure--but the trappings of it greatly appeal to her interests.
  Despite her general attitude being upbeat, she's quite easily angered by criticising her art or refusing to experience it, believing that it is something to be admired and praised even if beyond your comprehension. On the flip side, flattering her is an easy way to get into Nero's good graces and manipulate her.
• Alignment: Chaotic Pervert Good

• Name: Nagao Kagetora
• Class: Lancer
• Appearance: "Bishamonten's protection is upon me!"
• Personality: At heart, Kagetora is a person who cannot understand the oddities and complexities of human emotions. Born with immense strength that dwarfed that of the people around her, she was never once able to understand the weakness of the humans that she protected thus. Without sadness, without anger, Kagetora herself simply wore a permanent smile upon her face, never once breaking the mask that she put on for herself (and continues to do so even now). With that said, though she is 'inhuman' in terms of both empathy and strength (which she herself acknowledges), her battle-mania means that combat is where her usually boisterous self stops being held back, be it by herself or by others. To charge forth into battle without fear or hesitation to strike down enemies is fun for her, after all, so even as a Servant she is more than a little unruly in that regard. That being said, her own ability as a former warlord is not to be underestimated...
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: C
  • Agility: A
  • Mana: D+
  • Luck: C+
  • Noble Phantasm: B
• Class Skills:
  
  • Magic Resistance: C
  • Riding: C
  • Divinity: C
• Personal Skills:
  
  • Fate is With Heaven: A
    A skill that amplifies Kagetora's own personal exploits on the battlefield, and has varying effects depending on what circumstances she finds herself in. On a chaotic battlefield, Kagetora is able to carve through the enemy to bring victory; in a duel, she is able to strike accurately and decisively regardless of the state of the fight itself. Additionally, Kagetora is able to summon multiple other weapons for use in combat, regardless of her class being denoted as Lancer. As an avatar of Bishamonten, such boons are but a given.
  • Armor Upon the Chest: A
    Drawing upon an anecdote where she calmly drank wine and dodged bullets flying all about without a scratch upon her, this skill allows Kagetora to dodge any and all objects fired at her so long as she believes that she will not be hit. The effect of this skill is not absolute, of course—if there are enough shots fired at her, it is possible that this skill will fail and that the projectiles will find their mark.
  • Accomplishment in the Feet: A
    An amalgamation of Military Tactics and Charisma, this skill allows Kagetora (who, in over 70 military battles across her lifetime, had never been defeated) to direct and lead her forces to victory in battle. Of course, her own personal style of combat is more suited for explosive and violent battles, so this skill fares poorly against opponents who prefer to hide away in castles or fortresses or the like.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Bishamonten's Eight Phases Wheel Charge Formation
  • Rank: B
  • Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army
  • Appearance: --
  • Effects: Kagetora's Noble Phantasm does not actually activate without having its name spoken, as it is a technique rather than any sort of tangible object. When invoked while Kagetora is mounted on her horse, she is able to split into eight different copies of herself to strike out at her opponents. Though these eight clones may focus on a single target, their status as a sublimation of her military tactics enables them to be used to direct the flow of battle as well. Wounds inflicted upon these copies do not reflect back onto the original, and though they only last a short while, they are more than able to inflict the same amount of damage as if it was the original lashing out.
• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Changes: N/A

• Name: Okita Souji
• Class: Assassin
• Appearance: "In battle, there is no good or evil... only killing."
• Personality: Assassin possesses something of a contradictory nature. In battle, she is a very serious combatant, completely focused on the fight, determined to win. She does not consider battle in terms of good or evil, rather in terms of winning and losing. That being said, this does not mean she does not approach battle totally without moral concerns. Rather, she will attempt to win regardless of her enemy's cause. That being said, Assassin is not tolerant of truly evil actions, such as the harming of innocent people without cause or especially the intent to harm children. Indeed, Assassin has an affinity for children, enjoying spending time around them and making them happy. In spite of her conduct in battle, Assassin is revealed to be a very different person outside of combat. Lighthearted, optimistic, and even somewhat ditzy, Assassin is a remarkably cheerful and friendly girl who shows almost no signs of the determined and skilled fighter who focuses utterly on her victory. However, no matter what, she is always very proud of her skills in combat, referring to her ultimate technique as 'perfect' and often complimenting herself on a job well done, after a fight. While she will refer to herself as a Manslayer, and express surprise at someone being open and friendly towards her, that does not prevent her from being open and friendly towards others. Assassin deeply enjoys sweets, especially dango. In spite of her cheerful and energetic personality, she is deeply regretful over the circumstances of her death, wishing she had the chance to fight to the end with her compatriots. Finally, she is quite dismayed at being summoned as Assassin rather then Saber, even though nothing has really changed.
• Stats:
  
  • Strength: C
  • Endurance: E
  • Agility: A+
  • Mana: E
  • Luck: D
  • Noble Phantasm: C
• Class Skills:
  • Presence Concealment: C
• Personal Skills:
  • Eye of the Mind(False): A. An innate, instinctive sixth sense, allowing Assassin to sense both weaknesses in the opponent's defense and incoming attack. It almost appears to be a form of prescience, but it is in fact a natural instinct. At this rank, it is possible to 'see' beyond visual obstruction.
  • Weak Constitution: A. A skill inherently similar to Innocent Monster. Due to the modern perception of Assassin's death by tuberculosis, it is possible that Assassin may suffer from a sudden drop in status, accompanied by coughing fits, fever, and weakness. While it may occur at any time, the risk of its occurrence is very low. Additionally, the parameter drop is mitigated due to the advantage provided by her presence in her homeland.
  • Reduced Earth: B. A technique Assassin honed to near-mastery in life, through a combination of breathing and bodily motion she is capable of cutting the distance between herself and her target in an instant, seemingly as if she has teleported from one location to the other. Further advancement of this technique would become dimensional transition.
• Noble Phantasm(s):
  
  • Name: Mumyou Sandanzuki: A Sword Absolute
  • Rank: N/A
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: N/A
  • Effects: Technically a skill rather than a Noble Phantasm, Mumyou Sandanzuki is a transcendent sword technique unique to Assassin. It is the pinnacle of her capabilities as a samurai, an attack that is composed of three simultaneous thrusts. This is not to say that the thrusts occur so quickly that they appear simultaneous. Rather, it is three individual thrusts that occur, fundamentally, at the same time, at the same position. Even if it were possible to block an individual strike, the other two would still pierce their target. This contradiction causes reality itself to shatter at the tip of the sword, the relationships between cause and effect breaking down entirely. This technique surpasses virtually any known defense, and even the mere destruction of material objects, allowing it to destroy objects that the sword normally would not be capable of piercing. When the attack has been completed, Assassin comes to a halt behind her target, the point of impact having become a perfectly circular hole. While blocking is impossible, defenses that rely on preventing the tip of the sword from reaching its target are the best measure against it.
  
  
  • Name: Chikai no Haori ~ The Colors of the Shinsengumi
  • Rank: C
  • Type: Anti-Unit
  • Appearance: The haori worn by Saber
  • Effects: The distinctive haori worn by officials that were part of the Shinsengumi in Kyoto during the Bakumatsu period. When clad in this garment, Assassin's very mentality causes her capabilities to be ranked up, both in terms of her parameters and the weapon that she wields. Her physical parameters are ranked up, and she receives her beloved katana, Kiku-Ichimonji Norimune to replace Kojiki Kiyomitsu, her usual weapon. As this Noble Phantasm instantly reveals her identity, she is unlikely to use it unless she absolutely requires the enhancements that it provides.

Well I've decided to try my hand at this and pick the Berserker of Red spot. So here's an Attack on Titan reference.

Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger! [+]

Talos

• Name: Talos
• Class: Berserker
• Appearance: "P...rO...t...Ek...t..."
• Personality: Talos was truly "born" only after Medea acknowledged its desire to be something more than a tool. As a result, one might call it a baby when it comes to attitudes and behaviors.
  
  It finds everything curious. Despite having seen them so many times, it still finds trees and the sea interesting since it only stared at the same ones for generations.
  
  Even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, it is still attached to its duty. Talos considers it something sacred and forsaking it would make its past existence meaningless. Therefore, despite its endless curiosity for everything, its Master's safety is the giant's top priority. Despite wishing to be "something more than a tool", in a regular Holy Grail War it would readily accept death in order to ensure its summoner's safety. However, being betrayed and discarded like an object is a different matter.
  
  It will not betray its Master under any circumstance, but if it's constantly assailed with statements such as "Servants are nothing but tools", it might start to display slightly rebellious behaviors. It won't let its Master be harmed, but it can't be helped if they land painfully on their butt as Talos pushes them out of harm's way.
  
  Indeed, just like a child.

• Stats:
  
  • Strength: A++
  • Endurance: A++
  • Agility: D
  • Mana: C
  • Luck: E
  • Noble Phantasm: B

Class Skills:

Mad Enhancement: D

-Raises basic parameters and strengthens one's physical abilities in exchange for hindering mental capacities and/or their sense of reason. The rank is rather low for this Class, enhancing only Strength and Endurance. Speech is still possible, but complex thoughts can bring complications. Berserker barely had a sense of self but developed one after its encounter with a young witch, who led it to a short-lived madness followed by death.

Personal Skills:

Guardian Knight: B-

-A rare Skill that grants the Servant a temporary attribute bonus if acting in the defense of others. Upon summoning, Berserker will immediately mark its Master as "the one who must be protected". As long as Berserker is guarding its Master, defensive power is raised significantly. Berserker was crafted for one single purpose: protect a woman loved by the King of Gods. It never faltered in this duty until it met a young bewitching magus.

Projectile (Rocks): A

-The expertise for throwing projectile weapons; in this case, rocks. It may sound ridiculous, but Berserker's inhuman strength compensates for the odd choice of weaponry. Rocks as large as one's head can be thrown with enough force to collapse a small house in a single hit. Berserker can form its own rocks through its Self-Modification skill. In its legend, by picking up large boulders and throwing them, Berserker easily sank hundreds of ships that threatened the woman it was tasked to protect. Not even the famous Argo and its Argonauts could directly match Berserker's monstrous power.

Earthly Vessel: A

-By virtue of being an existence made of earthly materials, one's body can be shaped and modified. In Berserker's case, it's any type of metal. A Skill possessed only by inhuman Heroic Spirits. Berserker is capable of shaping its body to form any sort of weapon: swords, axes, spears, maces, shields. By shedding much of its body mass and forming a pair of wings, even a limited form of flight can be achieved. Berserker can absorb metallic materials by coming into contact with them, but its body mass is limited to a set value. If its body is heavily mutilated, as long as Magical Energy is sufficient, Berserker can merge the broken parts and reform it. Berserker was a creature of the earth, crafted by the Divine Spirit Hephaestus, all for one purpose. Manipulating its body to such an extent alienated it from the concept of humanity, but it was born to be a tool, so no one ever cared.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: Zoi Ilios: The Life-Granting Sun
Rank: B~A+
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)/Anti-Army
Effects: Talos is the Sun. In Crete, Berserker's true name was the equivalent of Helios, the Greek embodiment of the Sun. Rather than the two having any actual link or bond, it hints at Berserker's birth and origin instead.

As a Noble Phantasm of the Gods, endowed with strength and toughness that not even Demi-Gods could hope to match, a powerful energy source was required in order to sustain such an imposing existence.

Hephaestus replicated a Sun and shrank it. Although the size was dramatically different from the real deal, it still accomplished its objective by animating the once motionless statue of brass and bronze.

Zoi Ilios is located in the same spot where one might find a human's heart. It's a mystical furnace, endlessly emanating magical energy that's converted into heat if Berserker doesn't consume it. As a result, steam is constantly emitted from its mouth and its unmeltable metallic body is capable of reaching blazing temperatures that instantly boil water, liquefy flesh and injure even Servants on contact unless they possess a particular resistance.

By stimulating the mini-sun acting as its core, Berserker can boost the production of magical energy even further, enhancing the above-mentioned effects. In Berserker's legends, pirates and intruders would be executed with a hug from its heated body, reducing their bodies to sizzling husks devoid of fluids and life. In this state, Servants without high defensive values would be instantly killed.

It acts as Berserker's main power source, making support from the Master meaningless. The Berserker class is infamous for the obscene amount of prana it demands, but if not for this Noble Phantasm, this particular Heroic Spirit would drain an average magus of all their reserves in a minute if allowed to rampage. Thanks to Zoi Ilios, Berserker can always fight at full capacity and won't tire, making him the ideal Servant for attrition battles.

If Berserker wills it, Zoi Illios can be overcharged and turned into a powerful Anti-Army blast surpassing a modern nuke when it comes to raw power. Anyone caught in the radius will be undoubtedly vaporized, including Berserker itself.

Alignment: True Neutral
Changes: Duo to being summoned as a separate entity from the Noble Phantasm version of Talos mixed with Rhodes that belongs to Europa, this Talos takes the form of the original. A Monster and weapon created by the Gods in the same vein as the Minotaur and Enkidu. The fact he can be summoned at all comes from becoming more human due to the manipulations of a certain Greek witch.
