Fate / Fading Days

[ArtificalLens]

---
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.

• Apprentice (D): You are the universal norm for most people, it means you are able to carry yourself in daily life without too much problems with this part of yourself. In statistical value, this represents an 10.

• Journeyman (C): You have placed some effort into improving this aspect in yourself, and while isn't too impressive, its good to know you are taking care of yourself and are able to take care of most things in life without issue. In statistical value, this represents an 12.

• Expert (B): You have significantly placed enough time in effort in honing this part of yourself that most would be jealous or in awe of. Among normal folks you are no doubt more capable than them, with only those who have honed themselves to your level can only compare with you. In statistical value, this represents an 14.

• Master (A): You are at at a level that most would not be able to achieve ordinarily, but you are not like most are you? At this rank you are considered to be at the peak limit of what the human body is capable of achieving and few are able to compete with you. In statistical value, this represents an 16.

Each character can spend up to a maximum of 15 points & only two skills can be expert level as the max rank. If your character knows magic, it counts as a skill. Skills that are needed for basic function in society are considered to be around novice to apprentice. Any skill that is not under a normal person's skill set is considered to be at poor level.

• Master (A): Among the most dedicated of members who have hone their experience along with their craft, you are one who has decisively stood among them that have spent either an immense amount of time dedicated to your craft or some natural talent that has been honed to a deadly use. Treat this statistically as a +7 mastery.

• Grandmaster (A+): You could be considered as one among the legends with stories told about your skill and experience that surpassed nearly everyone who practices your skill, as a master among master, only a few of the living stand as your peers. Treat this statistically as a +9 legendary.

[DeadDrop]

Seems cool...

[The Red Seelie]

A different setting from normal. I like.
A way to handle combat? I like alot.

Though a question of how servant characteristics would be handled (espically in the case of skills like imperial privilige)

[Ryougu]

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. ^-^

[Crusade]

My reaction when reading the grading scale

Hella numbers.
Anyway, memes aside, seem pretty interesting, so I'll toss my hat (Helmet?) in

[ArtificalLens]

@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.

Rough Servant Parameter Guide

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

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!

Crusade

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!

[Flood]

I'll toss my hat into the ring, this seems interesting.

[Reflection]

It's interesting. More time might need to be spent explaining how the stats stuff is supposed to work.

[ArtificalLens]

@1Charak2@Ryougu@Crusade@floodtalon@Reflection

As a offhand question, do any of you guys know how to play Dungeon and Dragons 5e? Just seeing if I need to make something simple to sum the game mechanics of creating our characters and the dice rolls involved~

[DeadDrop]

when you aren't tagged

[ArtificalLens]

@DeadDrop

Sorry thought the message that posted had everyone's names, not sure what happened with that. It might be on one of the other tabs I have opened, I'll try to double check next time. Sorry

Same question tossed at you though

[Reflection]

@ArtificalLens Not too familiar with it to be honest. I think making it easier to explain would help.

[Crusade]

@ArtificalLens

Very familiar. Me and My cousins regularly run campaigns.

[Ryougu]

@ArtificalLens
Well, I've played about 3 games of DnD, 2 of which sort of recently, but as you may guess, I'm not exactly an expert... I do have a rough understanding, though.

[The Red Seelie]

@ArtificalLens
I have a rudimentary understanding of DnD 5e nothing major. So as long as the things are layed out clearly. It should be good.

[Ryougu]

@ArtificalLens
So... Not to rush or anything, but how's the progress looking on this thing?
