*PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE FATE SERIES*
Due to some concerns ahead of time, I’ve decided to add this little thingy here. If you’re new and you are just coming from the Fate anime, be sure to let me know! It’ll help correct some things that the anime incorrectly teaches compared to the visual novel and other sources.
*THANK YOU VERY MUCH~!!!*
Welcome to a reboot of a Fate RP that I made a couple of months back, and that I’ve been itching to recreate. Although, with my experience with the last one, I wanted to take things in a different route and see how well things go.
As you may have already noticed, this RP has more than just a few different twists and turns to it compared to the Nasuverse that I'm sure that many, or none of us if you’re new, are used to. Unlike other RPs, where it seemed at times there were complications thanks to the Nasuverse and that the canon stories brings into them, I’ve brought it upon myself to eliminate those factors so that there will be a lot less problems and needless arguing!
Now! Onto a few rules!
-----
No Godmodding! Nope. Nadda. Zip. NOPE! No excuses! This rule is more lax toward npcs/Non-playable Characters, but please use your head! However, if you feel your character is being pushed around too much by other people, or if things seem to be going bad for you, then please don’t hesitate to come to me! While I can be a friendly person, I won’t hesitate to put my foot down if I suspect there to be bullying as my duty as a fair GM! >:L
Chances are, given how things usually are in these kinds of settings, that there will definitely be high fluctuations on the power levels of characters in the RP. However! Do be warned that this does not in any way mean that there is a contract, deal, or some given right that because you are playing a mighty god-tier destroyer of world character that you can push people around and do whatever you want! Stronger forces will without a doubt face greater challenges and will mostly be given bounties from the Overseer for their amusement. While I sincerely hope from the bottom of my heart that we can all have fun and go nuts while having a good time, please, PLEASE, take into account and consideration that signing up with someone who has more power under or over their belt will definitely mean more trouble for you, both from me and the other players!
I will throw this out there right now! That this is an elimination game unlike any other! I will try my hardest as the kind person I am to keep the killing from happening until we have a ground set base and have what I feel is a good point for people to start dying! However, if things happen, and I feel that you’ve gotten yourself into that situation despite numerous options to avoid it, I won’t hesitate to allow your death to happen. You have been warned! >_>
Now! While the original has it that the war is supposed to be secret, you are allowed to go a bit nuts and destroy things if they reasonable and explained properly! Take a look/read at Fate/Zero and check out how that plays along, some things there happen RIGHT IN FRONT OF CIVILIANS, and that’s perfectly fine since, like I said, this Overseer doesn’t really care and can be a dick! However, if he deems that things are getting too out of hand, then consequences will be had! Simply put, if you think it’s a bad idea, it probably is. If you think it’s a bad idea, but could be fun, run it by me and I’ll give you a “yay” or a “nay”!
You control your PC(s) and that is all! Wanna control that dragon npc who’s napping? Nope. Wanna play with the CEO of McDonalds who just happens to be in town? NO. Feel like stabbing the voice actor for Barney who just happens to be with the CEO of McDonalds and who also just so happens to be directly in front him? Not going to happen… Okay, maybe a bit on that last one. But in all honestly, you will probably only have limited controls over Npcs. Services such as taxis, busses, small minions, etc. are fine to be controlled. Though, if I feel it’s being abused I miiight just suspend your privileges with this in order to keep the flow of things good.
Last, but not least, if you want to quit the game, just say so! If you leave all of a sudden and considering how much a sudden disappearance can affect an RP, it’ll ruin the enjoyment of others and it’ll make people extremely sad. :/ I think this happened before with the GM, and players were left to do things on their own.

Now that all of the rules are out of the way, let's move onto a couple of twists and turns to this RP that I'm sure you are all dying to read about!
First of all! There are classes that have been included that we may or may not be familiar with, and these classes are Avenger and Beast.
Click on them to learn more about them~
[hider=Avengers]These Servants are those who were hailed as a hero despite their wishes, sacrificed for a greater purpose, were betrayed or had betrayed someone in some manner or form, or were killed wrongly. For example: Ariadne, Medea, and Polyphemus (Cyclops) would qualify as an Avenger Servant. All those summoned into this class have the Class Skill “Vindication” that greatly enhances the stat of one of the Avenger’s choosing if they are facing a foe that is stronger than them. For the way this works, is by adding up their numerical stat values; allow me to explain with this example here:
Cu Chulainn’s numerical stats are as follow: 40+30+50+30+10 which adds up to a total of 160.
Iskander’s Numerical stats are as follow: 40+50+20+30+50 which adds up to a total of 190
So, if Cu was an Avenger he’d get the difference, which in this case is 30, in one of his stats of his choosing, which is a mighty fine boost. While the math is tad annoying, the reward, as you can see, is well worth it and can level the playing field quite quickly.
As a final added bonus for the Avengers, Spirits summoned into this class also get the skill “Battle Continuation” for another one of their class skills as well. Those who already have the skill get theirs increased a rank higher at my discretion.
[/hider]
[hider=Beasts]Now we come to the Servants who have been summoned into the Beast Class. These Servants are the great beasts of legends whose death would make their slayer a famous hero. Basically, spirits summoned into this class are the ‘great beasts’ or ‘creatures’ of legends that were slain and used to make their hero more famous. Examples of Beast class Servants are: The Nemean Lion, Fafnir, Fenrir, The Minotaur, The Hydra, Scylla, Wendigo, and other famous creatures. Those who are summoned into this class have the Class Skills “Transformation” and “Monstrous Strength”.
Transformation is theoretically Shapeshifting, however, this is a more advanced version that allows its user to alternate between their humanoid form and their ‘true’ form, along with anything in-between in mere seconds. Naturally, those summoned within the Beast class already have their basic abilities; such as a signature ability that was theirs in life. This ability would be at their disposal no matter what form, but the closer they are to their true form, the stronger the ability is. Upon taking one's true form, they gain resistances and numerous skills reflecting those that they might have had in life. But as a result of transforming to their truest form, their identities are automatically revealed to all.
[/hider]
Now, with all that said and done, there are a total of nine classes to choose from when creating a Servant:
Saber, the Servant of the Sword
Lancer, the Servant of the Lance
Archer, the Servant of the Bow
Rider, the Servant of Mounts
Caster, the Servant of Magic
Assassin, the Servant of the Shadows
Berserker, the Servant of Madness
Avenger, the Servant of Vengeance
Beast, the Servant of Creatures
Each class obviously has its strengths and weaknesses, but it is up to you and you alone if you can properly utilize them.

Character sheets are here if you want to get a head start on working on you folks.
Masters
Name: What is your name!
Age: How old are you!
Gender: Are you male, female, both, or something entirely different~?
Nationality: Where do you come from?
Height/Weight: Get on that scale and tell me now!
Appearance: We do need to know what you look like after all~
Personality: Well… Like, are you calm, laid-back, or are you hyper? How do you normally act in public?
Weapon: What’s your choice of weapons?
Abilities: Tell me what you can do!
History/Background: Make this part very brief and generalized! I want you to reveal your character’s history more IN the RP, rather than OUT of it. Actually do what you want, it is your character after all.
Assets: What do you have access to?
~~~~~
Servants
Class:
Master: -If applicable-
True Name: Who are they?! A link to a source would be wonderful as well~
Gender: Obvious!
Height/ Weight: Just a generalization is all.
Alignment: Are they good, neutral, chaotic, etc.
True Appearance: What is their battle outfit?.
Outfits: What do they normally wear in public?
Personality: Keep it brief! Show who they are in the RP, rather than tell~
Stats: (From E to A+, E being the worst, A+ being the highest)
Class Abilities: From E to A+, a single Servant will clearly not have all of these! Also how strong these abilities will be depends on the individual Servant that is summoned. These are the Skills your Servant gets depending on the class they were summoned into. Here's a list, under Class Skills. See the previous post above for the Class Skills of the new Classes. For the designated Class Skills for each Servant Class, click on one of the following based upon what Servant class you're interested in: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker. As for the newer classes, please refer to the previous post above for their designated Class Skills and use your best judgment!
Personal Skills: Special particular powers that depend on the Heroic Spirit's character. Basically, these are the individual perks that your character has by who they were in life. Click Here for a list of abilities and how they work. Feel free to make your own if you can't find what you like in the list~! I will be allowing a maximum of five personal skills, but be warned that the Servant must have a pretty good reason to have that many skills under their belt, and I will probably remove some to balance the Servants out.
Noble Phantasms: These are the weapons and powers that are unique to the Heroic Spirit alone! These are usually named and are very symbolic and relate heavily to their legends. These are the Servant's Ace in the hole and without a doubt their greatest possessions. For those curious and are struggling to make a Noble Phantasm, take a look at this page for a good idea. Also, for the sake of the RP and to make things easier for everyone, please don't have anything involving ‘absolute’. Like a weapon that will always hit, or will always strike the heart, or anything like that. This can ruin the fun of others and I'd like to avoid that as much as possible. .

For now, I'm still thinking about the exact setting and other things, so thoughts on that would be appreciated. Again, this is just an interest check to gauge people's interest. So, questions, comments and anything else would be more then welcomed, since I don't bite that much~
I'm fairly nice after all! Fairly~ ^_^
