(ignore the spoilers if you don't want to spoil anything from the anime)
Canon characters are allowed to be used because this rp takes place in a alternate universe meaning characters can be the same but act different/doing different things example Saber not being Shiro's servant also on the note of relationships. You can have relationships but keep it pg13 the setting is the same as fate/stay nights for those of you who don't know it here's the setting there has been this war for the holy grail which grants the winner a wish this is the 5th war for the holy grail and each time there are a number of magi (masters) who summon their servants in this instance one of each class (classes are as follows Saber, Archer, Rider, Assassin, Berserker, Lancer, and Caster. Will go more into detail on the classes later) the exception to this would be Gilgamesh in this instance he has no master and is pretty much his own class since he can summon any of his weapons at any given time.
Back to the setting each master and servant fight against the other masters and servants sometimes forging short term alliances with other masters and servants to defeat a more difficult master/servant also the world that they fight in is created by the holy grail which is separate from the real world. A master/servant will be disqualified if their master/servant is killed in a fight since a master cannot properly defend themselves without a servant and a servant cannot exist without their master. Before I forget a servant is a hero from the past and the holy grail pretty much creates a copy of them to fight this copy will usually be them at their most heroic state which can gender bend them most obvious example would be though they do not have to be a real hero from history for example .
Masters also have 3 command spells which can force their servants to follow a order their servant though how strong it is on the servant depends on how specific it is pretty much a order like obey everything I say is a pretty useless order but a order like help Berserker kill Saber would be pretty powerful due to how specific it is and if the servant tries to resist such a order they would feel intense pain if a master uses all 3 they will lose their control over their servant but the servant can still help them if the bound between the two is strong enough. Another note is that masters call their servants by their class usually since others knowing their true name can lead to them being easily defeated now onto the classes

Saber: Servants placed within this class are agile and powerful melee warriors. It is commonly assumed to be the best class overall, with high ratings in all categories. It is one of the three Knight classes, together with Lancer and Archer and also possesses the Riding skill like the Rider class.

Lancer: Servants placed within this class are very agile and skilled with long-range melee weapons, such as spears, lances, etc. It is one of the three Knight classes, together with Archer and Saber.

Archer: Servants placed within this class are usually proficient with projectiles and can survive longer without a Master nearby, thanks to their special ability Independent Action; the strongest Archers can be difficult to control at times, in fact, due to their near-total independence from their "Masters". It is one of the three Knight classes, together with Lancer and Saber.

Rider: Servants placed within this class place emphasis upon speed and powerful Noble Phantasms, which often include their mounts. Their special skill is Riding, which allows them to fully utilize abilities of their mounts (which can range from simple horses to mechanical vehicles to divine or supernatural creatures.).

Caster: Servants placed within this class are adept in magecraft and have a special ability akin to Reality Marble, called Territory Creation, which alters or creates space around them to enhance their sorcery.

Assassin: Within the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, Servants placed within this class are always, as a rule, one of the 19 Hassan i Sabbah, the leaders of the clan of the Hashshashins who passed their name down. The Assassin in Fate/stay night summoned by Caster is an exception, an aberration in the system, as he was summoned by another Servant. This rule comes from how the word "assassin" itself finds its etymological roots in that clan. This rule is not present in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War and Great Holy Grail War, allowing for those known to be specialized killers to be summoned. The Assassins' special ability is Presence Concealment, which allows them to remain undetected. Offset by their stealth is their weak combat skills. Due to this, Assassins often target Masters instead of Servants.

Berserker: Servants placed within this class are always heroes who have gone berserk in their lifetime. This trait allows them to use the special ability Mad Enhancement, which trades their consciousness (i.e. sanity) for a large power boost. Most Masters are incapable of controlling their Servant once Mad Enhancement has been activated, which eventually results in their death.

A few side notes
Noble Phantasms are basically a all or nothing attack since using one would take a lot of energy from a servant if used recklessly it can result in the death of the servant at the hands of a careful servant who managed to avoid/survive the noble phantasm even a master can manage to kill a servant who recklessly used one should only be used if it will ensure a killing of a servant like for example a saber using their noble phantasm to kill the wounded and unable to move archer would be a good use if the archer is otherwise able to defend themselves.

Reality Marbles are a type of noble phantasm that can change the nearby landscape to a reality more suited to their purpose like a saber although unlikely that this would be their noble phantasm would create a world full of swords to pick up on the fly and stab at the enemy another thing about reality marbles is that they trap the target in it along with the user a reality marble can only be held for a few mins even if the servant is at full strength

Alright I believe you guys get the idea if you have any questions ask and I will answer them besides that the usual rules you see like no god modding etc. and have fun with your characters

Oh shit, you're starting with Gilgamesh.
Anyway, count me in, i'll be making my CS soon.

Alright man glad to have you aboard and lmao Sanger is pretty damn awesome XD

I'm interested. I'll write a cs soon. I haven't read/watched all of Fate Stay Night yet, though I have watched Fate Zero, If that's an issue.

naw its not a issue dude this is more or less loosely based on fate/stay night hence why I made it a alternate universe

An entirely OC servant with no historical connection? Nooooope

You do know not all servants in Fate/stay night had historical connections right?

Squall0175 said
Eh to be fair not all servants in Fate/stay night had historical connections lol

All of them did, I don't know if you watched the show. Or read the visual novel.

Explain to me about Archer then who was last time I checked he wasn't of any historical resemblance or anything but in the world of fiction

Squall0175 said
Explain to me about Archer then who was last time I checked he wasn't of any historical resemblance or anything but in the world of fiction

So, you're saying that your character is a ripoff of archer? Because he was an anomaly...

Did I say that? No i didn't just saying not all of them had historical connections besides if you looked at the names of my characters weapons they ARE from history plus using that as a reason to not do a fun rp is kinda a stupid reason ya I'd be with ya if this was a actual Fate thing but its not its a rp meant for fun and enjoyment

While I see where you're coming from Tatsua , Squall does have a point. Anomaly or not, was technically a heroic spirit. who had no historical connections, and then there was Stay/Night's Assassin who was fictional character.

Name: St George
Age: 28
Servant
Master: (Still writing a cs for).
Class: Lancer
Weapons: Ascalon, the lance that slew the dragon.
Noble Phantasm: A gift from God.
Noble Phantasm description: Saint George raising Ascalon, creates a storm in witch lightning strikes Ascalon, the next hit to his target send the electrical current through them badly damaging them. If by a large body of water like a river or ocean waves will become violent and directed towards his enemies. During this St George’s white horse is summoned as well, until the final strike of Ascalon.
Appearance:
Personality: He is very passionate about his Christian morals and will resist the command spells if used when it contradicts his beliefs and morality this said he is very obedient as a servant. He is very humble in his own abilities with a lance. Though he has calm demeanour he isn't much of a strategist and will go full force into a fight without thinking of the consequences of being so rash.
Bio: Historians believe that Saint George was hailed as a martyr after being tortured and finally decapitated for refusing to make a sacrifice to the Roman Gods, after a witnessing this Empress Alexandra of Athanasius, a pagan priest converted to Christianity. However Saint George is better known for his depiction of slaying a dragon on a white horse with a lance from medieval times. This is the most well know n of the legends about Saint George with little alteration depending on location and interpretation This legend has led to him being the patron saint of many countries and his cross appearing on the flag of the country England. In Georgia devotion to St George goes back to the fourth century were there are 365 Orthodox churches devoted to him as legend states he was cut into 365 pieces and spread around the country.
Saint George has many legends surrounding him many are different but I’ll be using the legend of him slaying the dragon. Many countries patronage him and this is why he has was summoned to the Holy Grail War, as he is an international icon of Christianity.

(This is a work in progress. I'm putting it up to hear your opinions and reserve Lancer.)

Hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and made a bit more specific of a sheet for my Servant. Let me know if there are any issues.

Personal Skills:

World Terminal: -
An ability gained through the creation of demons and the nightmares relating to them. It is the ability to "summon" Demons, in other words, create illusions that are similar to demons. Given through Noble Phantasm.

Divinity: A
The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. It can break through Skills such as Protection of the Faith. Son of a goddess.

Imaginary Numbers: A
Mastery of magecraft related to the idea of “making theories possible”. A perfect world ability earned by Tamulu’s own actualization of theory through his creation of monsters, phantasms, dreams, and nightmares, as well as the way in which he shaped the course of the world itself.

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Ijoròkan
Title: Forging of the Not Man
Rank: A Plus Plus
NP Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: 10
Description: Tamulu, in an act of jealousy and defiance, was the creator and master of all beasts, monsters, phantasms, dreams/nightmares, and demons. This Noble Phantasm is the crystallization of that. Allows for summoning of up to any ten "non-human existences", such as Phantasmal Beasts or constructs of clay which are weapons of the gods. Summoning is a one-time prana cost, and creatures last until killed or dispelled by their creator. Does not extend to the Transcendent Kind with the exceptions of Dragon Kind and Oni Kind. Passively grants the World Terminal skill. Passively grants authority over all members of the Phantasmal Species at a rank equivalent to this Noble Phantasm.

Name: Owarano Nuno
Title: Protection of the Darkness
Rank: B
NP Type: Barrier
Range: 0
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: As the existence who became one with the moon after his death and the lord of the night, when under the cover of night Tamulu’s capacity for prana usage becomes highly augmented. This leads to heavily increased speed in regeneration of wounds, as well as all other usages of prana being reduced in terms of overall cost by a margin of two-thirds.

So... question: How heavy is the PvP in this meant to be?

Name: Togo Heihachirou (東郷 平八郎)
Age: Summoned at the prime age of 25
Master or Servant: Servant
Who is their Master/Servant: Open
Class (servant only): Rider
Weapon(s): An officer's handgun; Japanese Naval Officer Shortsword.
Noble Phantasm: Sunrise of the Imperial Fleet
Noble Phantasm description: Togo summons the fleet he had under his direct command during the Battle of Tsushima, and he himself along with his master is transported to the open bridge of the ship from which he commanded the fleet against the Russian Second Pacific fleet in life. With a single hand motion, the fleet sails in a line across the battlefield, all of them opening fire. Each shell has a large radius of effect, making the Sunrise of the Imperial Fleet an extremely difficult Noble Phantasm to outright avoid.

He is also able to partially summon the secondary turrets of the Mikasa during the heat of combat without unleashing his full Noble Phantasm.

Appearance:

Personality: Togo keeps a cool head but is willing to take gambles, as shown when he gambled on Russian incompetency during the opening moves of the battle of Tsushima. Instead of Chivalry he does follow the codes of Bushido, but he is highly suspicious when offering "a warrior's mercy," always considering the possibility an opponent's surrender and submission may be a feint, as demonstrated when he delayed in accepting the Russian fleet's surrender and had his ships continue firing without retaliation due to concerns that the surrender would be a bluff. Outside of combat, he is a man who still strictly adheres to notions of respect and tradition.

Bio: Togo Heihachirou was a Japanese naval officer of the 19-20th centuries. During his time as an officer in the Japanese Navy, he shocked the world when he led the Japanese navy against Russia and, in a war that shocked the war, defeated not one but two Russian fleets, causing a surprise in which people expressed disbelief that "mighty Russia", feared by Europe as the giant of the East, was defeated by a small, non-European nation. The climax of the war came in the Battle of Tsushima, a battle in which he not only defeated the entire Russian Second Pacific Fleet within a span of 24 hours but did so with minimal losses, marking the first and only true victory in a pre-dreadnought steel battleship battle. However, his victory doomed Japan to a militaristic legacy that would haunt them for over 40 years - a legacy that would cost his nation millions of lives.

I decided to use Guy's format. I personally think it is a lot cleaner.

Name: Sci-Fi

Title:

Class: Saber

Gender: ?

Birth and Death Dates: 17th century-Present

Alignment: ?

Height: ?

Weight: ?

Personality: Sci-Fi's personality changes depending on the form it takes, though most tend to have fanboy/fangirl dispositions to certain things that correspond with the character that it is portraying, and can be described as a "geek" or "nerd." It has a strange habit of "breaking the fourth wall," as it puts it, though it refuses to explain. It refers to its Master as "Gamer" or "Reader," depending on the persona.

Appearance: Sci-Fi the Servant claims that it has no definitive form that it can claim as its own. It cannot be identified as male or female, as even that changes on a whim. The form that it initially takes depends on the Master that summoned it. The mist provided by the summoning ritual covers up its true for, a featureless semi-solid form of living electricity approximately three feet in height.

Weapon: Whatever the character that it changes into wields.

Parameters:

Strength: E

Endurance: E

Agility: E

Mana: C Plus Plus

Luck: E

Class Skills:

Riding: A (plus)

Creatures on the level of Phantasmal and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.

Magic Resistance: E Minus

Magic Resistance grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects prana, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Important to note that the term "verse" seen below refers to a set of three lines. Thus, a chant of two verses is equivalent to a Six-Line incantation.

E Minus: Sci-Fi, ironically, has absolutely no natural defense against magecraft and only has this skill because of its class. However, it can get around this by taking a form that is capable of withstanding the attack.

Bio: Sci-Fi is the personification of an amalgamation of every fictional story based at least partially on science. Movies, comic books, books, video games, etc. It is the hopes and fears that humanity has for its future.

Personal Skills:

Expert of Many Specializations: A Plus

Expert of Many Specializations is access to and use of many expert skills.

A Plus: Tactics, academia, espionage, assassination, swindling, rhetoric and a total of 32 other skills can be used with proficiency of Rank B or above. Sci-Fi is capable of using any skill that has appeared in a work of science fiction.

Golden Rule: A

Golden Rule measures one's fortune to acquire wealth.

A: Money problems are completely unknown. Sci-Fi has a credit card connected to an account that has an almost unlimited amount of money, stemming from the massive industry that is the production of modern day science fiction works. For every science fiction book, comic, movie ticket, movie, and video game that is sold world-wide, more money is added to the account.

Librarian of Stored Knowledge: A Minus

Librarian of Stored Knowledge is an ability that makes it possible for a clear recall of knowledge from memory with a successful Luck check, even if the information perceived in the past was not consciously acknowledged at the time.

A Minus: Sci-Fi has a near photographic memory, but it only applies when it involves science fiction.

Noble Phantasm: Limit one.

Name: Potential of Endless Futures

Title:

Rank: E-EX

NP Type: Anti-Self

Range: 0

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Description: This Noble Phantasm makes up for the abysmal base parameters that Sci-Fi is summoned with. Utilizing it, it can take on the form of any iconic character from any work of science fiction, and its parameters are raised to match what the character would have as a Servant, as well as gaining two skills and any powers that correspond to them. Science Fiction covers anything that is a piece of fiction that covers anything Science related, Cosmos related, etc. Additional prana is not necessary to maintain the form, only when Sci-Fi decides to change shape. If it so chooses, Sci-Fi can change into an iconic science fiction weapon for its Master to wield. This is not recommended unless the Master is a badass, but the option exists.

I'd like to reserve the assassin class. If it hasn't already been taken.

Guten morgen.

I would love to reserve the designation of Class: Berserker at this time.

Holy crap didn't expect this to explode lol alright now to respond to everyone
@ChunkyCaptain alright cool will put you up for Lancer
@GuyYouWishYouDidntKnow No that is perfectly fine the one I put up is just a basic one you can mod it as much as you want and will put you down for Caster
@LaXnyd how heavy pvp based is going to be decided by everyone pretty much if you run into someone overall its more or less going to be the masters choice if they want to get into a fight atm or not but there will be at least some pvp I will be sure of that and I will put you up for Rider
@Sakaki Chizuru again thats perfectly fine will put you for Saber
@Gareth that is possible I am waiting on a response from Kael Taiyou if I hear nothing from him within the next day or if he chooses to be something else Assassin is yours
@BB Sorry someone else has already reserved berserker and their master if they cancel I'll let you know
Alright I hate to have to do this to people but I must say I am still waiting on a response from Kael Taiyou since he was first here I have to give him priority over what class he chooses so I'd advice you to at least think about a back up character if he makes one for the class you made if he makes a master or doesn't at least respond within the next day I will let you all know. For now I'll put you up for the classes you have put down but note it can change within the next 24 hours I really didn't expect this to explode like this XD

Are we allowed to use special classes from the side stories and sequels?
