Fate Series Holy Grail War RP

[Raineh Daze]

I have a Saber that is canon but noncanon all at the same time, because they never actually got summoned as Saber. :D

[Grey]

...It's the Black Knight isn't it?

[VitaVitaAR]

My Caster's not canon, but I worked on her a lot.

[Caelum]

Wait, by canon here, are we talking Nasuverse canon or non-canon as in they never existed in real life/legends?

Well, if Berserker is already taken, I'm going with either Assassin or Rider, but yeah....My idea for Rider is an original idea, but my idea for Assassin is... Actually a canon Servant if that's okay. None of the ones that have been animated, though, since... Well, not sure if we're supposed to be stating who our intended Servants will be or not so um. Hmmm.

I don't mind at all. Trying to find a good Servant for this that hasn't been done is hard. I remember I tried lancer several times and each one had been done. Then I switched to saber and found out they had been done in a different class.

Whether or not they actually existed doesn't matter. So long as people have had faith in their legend, they become a Heroic Spirit. Unless you mean can you make up a legend, then no. That would make it impossible to guess the servants identity.

[Rin]

Well, my idea for Rider is Queen Boudicca, and my idea for Assassin is Apocrypha!Jack the Ripper so yeah. XD

Nasuverse canon.

Yes, yes it is.

[VitaVitaAR]

Actually, um...

Sorry if this seems nitpicky but every Servant existed in the Nasuverse. All of them actually were people from the Nasuverse's history. There has to be a real soul there in order for there to be a heroic spirit. ^^;

And yeah Nasuverse canon. My Servant is probably pretty well-known actually even if she's not entirely like she is in the myth. ^^;

[Caelum]

Of course, I was just making sure we arn't making up imaginary heroes here or something, because that's no good.

[Necromantic]

In all honesty my servant would likely be realized after I just describe him.

[VitaVitaAR]

My Caster actually has a pretty awesome disguise without needing to actually change her appearance in any way! ^_^

[Necromantic]

Unfortunately, disguising himself would mean losing everything he has to fight, so not gonna happen

[Dblade26]

My Lancer...MIGHT be recognizable? I dunno.

[Caelum]

So, where to from here?

[Necromantic]

I shall begin work on an OOC. I shall have a CS template up by the end of tomorrow at the latest. I do not think a cs needs to be posted about the Servants. I'd like them to be completely unknown, until their identities are guessed/revealed. In the mean time, consider what your master will have in terms of servants and magic used(if any really)

...Wait, I thought you said I should say what my ideas were... >.<

...Need to come up with new ideas now. >.<

Also, um... Kind of a bad idea, honestly, but panicking too much right now to coherently go into why so um sorry.

That's... a bad idea. Great for story, but horribly problematic: OC's have an enormous advantage because they can have any sort of crazy powers the player wants without restriction, and by being OC's their appearance isn't a giveaway. Any canon Servants of any description are easily guessed.

Also, it all but encourages stuff like throwing Gilgamesh in as Archer, which is bad news for basically everyone else.

[Caelum]

So are the servants on a first come first serve basis in terms of playing them, or do we have a way of dishing these out? Because I still don't know who's taking what and whats free.

[Grey]

Well, I'll probably be taking Archer.

Here's what everyone's said they were willing to be so far

Archer: Myself
Saber: Raineh, Cael
Lancer: Dblade
Rider: Rin, Cael
Caster: Vita
Berserker: Rin, Cael
Assassin: Rin, Cael
