This is just an interest check, a proper intro post will come once I know there are enough people interested to warrant one. Don't worry, I'm not about to make my triumphant return to RPGuild without a massive wall of text!
Basically, this has been stewing in my head for the better part of a couple months now ever since I finally got around to binging Apocrypha on Netflix. I have... opinions on that story. Most of them some flavor or another of disappointment. However, I think we can do better! This RP would basically be a PvE game for 6-12 players in which you take on the role of the Yggdmillennia of a slightly different universe. Gone are the original Masters and Servants of Black (save perhaps Darnic), replaced by your characters. The Servants of Red have similarly been remixed and this time around, you'll actually be facing the enemy Masters sent by the Mage's Association instead of Marik Ishtar and his Servant harem.
I haven't ironed out further details just yet, since this is just a preliminary interest check, but due to the nature of the story, this could actually be a Grail War with multiple winners. A problem I've noticed tends to happen with battle royale-style Fate RPs is that nothing much tends to happen because, well, people get invested in their characters and want them to survive. Here, your Masters/Servants don't necessarily need to die unless that's what you want (or you drop out, I plan on keeping this thing moving in one way or another even if people start dropping out/ghosting).
Anyway, that's about all I've got at the moment. Leave a response if this is something you'd like to see and I can get to work hammering out something of substance.
