This roleplay is still accepting people.
===
The year is 2012 and the next holy grail war is set to begin with the last ending in a flat out no-contest with the death of one of the magi ending in two friends left forcing them to call it a draw as neither side wanted to end the other. The last war was held in Fuyuki city and now it seems to be held there once more due to the failure of the previous masters to seek a draw. However the pent up magic from the previous war seems to have caused unfortunate consequences in this war as well. As the masters begin to gather and summon their servants it would seem that there is a specific clause for this particular war. An enforcement made by the guardians of the grail itself. The grail's magic in the last war seems to have somehow been used to reawaken old bloodlines of magisters and has caused an influx of a new group of potential candidates whom all seem to wish to take on the chance to win this new power despite some being slow to learn, others have quickly mastered their powers.

The war is just beginning and the stipulation has been sent out by the neutral priest in charge of the war. The groups shall break up into teams of seven people. The winners of the war shall all receive one minor wish granted to them personally due to the nature of the war the grail's magic may end up needing to be shared among the winning party. Though how they are to team up is up to them there will need to be two sides of the war anyone who refuses to side with a party is allowed to continue fighting in the war however they will be outnumbered, and possibly eliminated quickly. To this end the neutral party has inclined to offer a meet up at his large home for those who wish to become a part of a side without having to seek out other masters by themselves. This war is setting up to become a mess as rules have been changed and old rivalries have been resurrected from long past eras. What shall come of the war is up to the masters and the servants who fight for them.

Hello everyone assuming you're still interested after hearing the plot basis I have some stuff I'd like to inform you all about. Yes fourteen magi will be participating in this war. In order to incorporate a actual roleplaying basis for this I will be putting all player characters on one singular team. The win conditions for the war have been altered slightly from usual wars in that you must eliminate, or force a surrender from the opposing team. There is no set hierarchy so it may be nessessary to force each individual master to surrender to the other faction.

You may play as a servant, or a hero. I encourage you to make two seperate characters so you can play both. For masters I will be willing to shorten requirements on servants if you wish to make them an add-on to your main master sheet. You may also play as a servant alone but you will need a player character master to attach yourself to. In the case of drop outs ex-masters will be allowed to resummon servants, and already made servants can attach themselves to an existing master, or make one for their own.

Here's another part of the roleplay that I am unsure of. This will be left up to vote and if it is not included then it will not alter the roleplay itself all too much but will add another dangerous element. I'm considering adding a particularly interesting stipulation. Player Versus Player style combat. That part of the roleplay will be conducted in the arena area of the site if added. Alternatively players can make a giant collab. Why though would you want to fight you're team mate? To strengthen the magical power you can get out of the grail at the end of the war. This will be handled by calling out another player in the IC to a fight sometime and then it will either end with a forced stalemate, or the death of one of the characters. This is a very risky element to incorporate into the roleplay so as said I am leaving this up to vote and this may very well not be included into the roleplay.

A note is I'm going to do my best to balance out certain aspects of characters as to prevent any power playing from happening. Some people will excel at certain areas and others won't. Therefore it's how you use your abilities not the quality, or quantity of them that will end up with a victorious winner.

Here's a list of roles currently claimed:

Archer: Taken
Lancer: taken

Assassin: Taken
Beserker: possibly reserved

Interest placed.

As for what servant i would play, I'm up for any. Question though, do you have to play a Master and the servant they summon? or could you be a Master to someone else's servant if the other player agrees?

PvP, I dont see how we wouldn't use the Arena.

I highly prefer someone to be the master and servant it makes getting rid of players who drop out much easier however you can play as a servant if you choose or a master if you choose so but it will be singular things so two people don't take up say rider, and lancer slots all by themselves.

Gotcha.
I have an idea for a Berserker or Saber. For now, just expressing interests.
For servants, do you prefer unique ones or ones that were already taken?

You can play any heroic spirit you like with future limits on, and demi-gods not allowed.

Gotcha.
For curiosity sake, in FSN, Heracules(Berserker) made an appearance, despite him being a demi-god. Would someone of similar level not be allowed?

Heracles and Gilgamesh are exactly the reasons why demi-gods aren't allowed nor heroes with similar power levels. They can take on multiple heroes single handedly and easily overpower them.@Musaki Hajime

@vancexentan
Makes sense =) Need to make it balance. Plus it encourages people to search for heroes and myths from other places to come up with interesting Servants.
What are you looking for in terms of Master power level? How strong is too strong for the RP you envision?

The power limit will vary between masters. I don't want masters who can just flat out go 'Za Worldo!" Dio style with time magic. Likewise leveling buildings is something I'd like to avoid seeing. So if you have say earth magic you can change formations around you, mend concrete, and overall control the battlefield by that standpoint but causing grand earthquakes, and such is beyond you and you'd only be able to use earth magic from a certain distance away preventing you from instant kill spiking an enemy servant or master.

What about like Cu, Perseus, Medusa, Romulus, Kintoki, Semiramis, etc?

@Phase TransitAnyone who has displayed abilities, or has skills on level with Hercules, Gilgamesh, or let's say Thor is not allowed. I don't want uber heroes to take front and center at the start of the roleplay. Taking Romulus for example I'd say maybe he'd be allowed he seems like a Lancer type character and would have a potent spear ultimate move.

Ohh ok, so you meant like a general power level ban and not a ban on demigods in general. That seems reasonable. Romulus was a bad example that I used since he's King Arthur tier in terms of power (Maybe better) but I'm assuming Artoria tier isn't too OP.

Arthur in my opinion is impressive in terms of abilities but nothing too above other heroes. Arturia Pendragon in context of this roleplay wouldn't be op but certainly capable of holding her own. The enemy team is going to receive a VERY powerful beserker, who's identity will remain unknown until found out in roleplay obviously, but otherwise will follow similar restraints despite at least two others having high tier skills but still being beatable.

I'd like to make a small add-on to my previous statement: Aturia wouldn't be too broken if she was on terms of her strength or slightly above in terms of her abilities in fate/stay night. I understand she's stronger in other iterations.

I'll drop my tentative interest here. I'll read over it later and see if I'll keep up or not.
