Here is a map for Vienna, specifically its districts:


It does not have any scale, though, for which I apologize.

Fate/Awakening World

October, Apartment of Philia von Einzbern, the First District of Vienna

The First District of Vienna was the least residential of all of the city's many districts, and yet was often full of activity and life. While only few would ever think to live there in anonymity under normal circumstances, the Holy Grail War was not in any way "usual circumstances." As a battle between seven Masters and their Servants, the Heroic Spirits of humanity's past summoned as familiars, the Holy Grail War was a very recent phenomenon. Further, its location in the City of Dreams was entirely unique - never before had this ritual been performed outside of a small island country in East Asia.

Representatives from many diverse backgrounds had been chosen - both by human organizations and by the Grail itself. Each would get the chance at completing the Grail and earning a single miracle - a wish that might grant them something beyond anything they had ever grasped. Among these Masters, Philia von Einzbern did not have a wish for herself. Rather, she was designed, created to ensure that humanity was saved through this ritual... admittedly, not as directly as some of her fellow homunculi, dead these past twenty years.

Luckily, she still had connections with certain archeological groups, as well as access to the bank accounts of the Einzbern clan. These two resources would allow her to perform the ritual she was about to begin - to summon a Servant, that the Holy Grail War would be won and the Einzberns would finally complete their mission. Her apartment, located on the edges of the First district - near to the Ringstraße, where once the city walls had stood - was not the height of luxury, but it was defensible and practical. It was the most efficient living area available to her. Thus, as the waning moon shed dim silver light over the city, Philia was finally prepared to execute the summoning.

Fate/Awakening World

A Heaven's Feel set in Vienna

The call has gone out. Magi from across the world have dreamt of the Holy Grail and Command Seals have appeared on their hands, indicating the start of a Holy Grail War in Vienna, Austria. A Grail has been crafted, and it will be filled with the mana of seven Masters and their Servants, to grant a wish to one of each. The Mage's Association, the Salem Academy, the Anglican Church, a descendant of an ancient fangshi family, a monster and two remnants of the previous Grail Wars have all been gifted the chance, and each has prepared carefully for the battles to come.

However, not all is exactly as it seems in Vienna. The residents are haunted by odd dreams, and the city seems to hold its breath in anticipation. In the shadows, a mysterious cult worshipping “the White Princess" has made itself known, and mana seems unusually thick in the air. Something stirs beneath the streets, its ancient seal weakening slowly, just waiting for someone foolish enough to break it free, while people have been vanishing from the Thirteenth District, only to reappear some days later, their existence a Mystery beyond what even many magi have experienced. A mysterious white-haired Servant stands atop der Stephansdom, watching and waiting, while in the distant East, a woman leaves the home that has been her refuge for decades to investigate her dreams...

This is where we'll post the characters that you two encounter - Servants will have slowly updating profiles as they get more and more revealed, while non-Servants will get general information that the pair of you already know.

Please post your characters here when you have the chance.

So, we're finally up! @Crimmy, @Holy Grail, this is the OOC thread. I'm sure we probably won't use too much of this space, but that's not a huge deal. Anyways, let's get this on the road, shall we?

Fate/Awakening World - A Fate/Stay night Interest Check

Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Thank you for your interest, though!

Fate/Awakening World - A Fate/Stay night Interest Check

I am reasonably certain that @Crimmy was referring to the Einzbern, and I've PM'd some of that info to them. xD

Fate/Awakening World - A Fate/Stay night Interest Check

Whoah, lots of messages since I last checked. o_O Welcome, all, and thanks for the interest!

Europeans sure love stealing the Fuyuki Grail not looking at you at all, Darnic and moving it to their homelands.

Given that this follows after some iteration of the Fourth, am I wrong to assume that

Hider

the Einzberns still fucked up their chance of world salvation back in the Third with Avenger, or did they use Ruler and thus avoid both the corruption, yet also managing to not have the Grail stolen by the Nazis?

@Crimmy

Spoilers for Fate/Zero

I will say that they summoned Angra Mainyu, and the Fourth War ended... poorly, as a result. The Einzbern family is in a weakened state because of the results of the Fourth Holy Grail War, but I can give more information if you wanted to play an Einzbern.

@Plank Sinatra and @Write: With the amount of interest that has suddenly arisen, I am no longer certain I can guarantee a spot in an RP - that said, if you want to PM me your Master & Servant combo, I might run two of this concurrently, as mentioned in the OP.

(I also wanted to add that I am so grateful to everyone for their interest. I honestly wish I could take you all, but that would rather defeat some of the point of the RP as it is currently designed.)

Fate/Awakening World - A Fate/Stay night Interest Check

Eh, these things happen - no worries.

Fate/Awakening World - A Fate/Stay night Interest Check

Hey, welcome @Alternax! While I do prefer more experience, I am glad that I left it open for longer as well, because more interest in my plots pleases me. (I mean, I would assume that's the same for everyone.) I was thinking of beginning discussions on who wanted to play what, so as to better decide who gets in on this. Mostly 'cause I don't want to run it for more than a couple players, due to other circumstances, admittedly, but there you go.

Did you have any ideas or preferences that you wanted to try?
