Plot

AN ALTERED HISTORY

The Einzbern have established a legacy on the back of "wishes". Under the tutelage of Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, they established a ritual to recover their lost Third Magic with the generous aide of the Tohsaka and Makiri. That is what the textbooks and history of the Clock Tower say as fact, irrefutably so. As Truth. However, there was another UNTOLD history that was a blight upon the Einzbern legacy they'd erased along with removing themselves from involvement with the Magical World after unbearable embarrassment.

The Palmgren family were renowned for their alchemy in the early second millennia of human history, only dwarfed by a certain famous family. Second only to the Einzbern, who sported the Third Magic in antiquity, they garnered unquestioned resources and fame. Upon losing their Sorcery the Swedish family greedily reached out to assist the Einzbern for centuries under the guise of mutual elevation of their craft. Mages, by their nature, use each other for knowledge so there was no suspicion beyond the norm for magi. The Palmgren used the Einzbern to elevate their knowledge with methods they'd been unable to create themselves, and the Einzbern used the Palmgren to try and recover their Wish-Granting Sorcery. This partnership continued for nearly half a millennia until the Einzbern began to create the Holy Grail War.

Naturally, the Einzbern reached out to their closet 'ally' who offered to assist. Only, the Palmgren fled with the initial blueprints after the first stages of development. Why would the Palmgren assist another family in becoming Sorcerers when they just could themselves with minimal risk. The Einzbern had much more to lose in this endeavor while the Palmgren only had power to gain. The Lesser Grail could be constructed by any Alchemist so long as one knew the formula and the inner workings of the Ritual. The Swedish family allowed their former allies to construct the Greater Grail, wanting to Usurp the ritual at a later occasion much farther down the line. For centuries the Grail recognized the Palmgren's wish and repeatedly made them Masters through the first three Holy Grail Wars. They repeatedly made it their goal to analyze and observe the ritual rather than prioritizing winning, in case they lost. As expected they were bitterly crushed by the Einzbern homunculi again and again.

After the Third War, the family had made a competent enough replica of the Lesser Grail that the Greater Grail connected itself, jointly, to it between wars. The dawn of the Fourth War was approaching, and the Palmgren made a genuine effort with the military of the Nazi armies. The group in question blindly coveted the occult and eagerly searched for the 'Grail' told of in biblical scripture as proof of 'magic' in the world. The Palmgren ransacked the war, using unorthodox tactics such as bombing and assassination to eliminate all the other Masters before plucking the Grail from its perch on the leyline. Then it disappeared into the night, the Nazi's and the Einzbern losing track of their prized possession... For decades.

THE CURRENT EVENTS

Six months ago the Clock Tower Association got a letter from the Prague Association, particularly from the Twenty-Seventh head of the Palmgren family. It stated that they had obtained the Greater Grail and was initiating a Grail War to manifest the Wish Granting device, inviting any who were interested to travel to the specified location to attempt being blessed by the Greater Grail. According to the current heir, Mikael Palmgren, they were initiating the War as merely a proof of concept of their alchemy surpassing the Einzbern. Once the structure of their magecraft was soundly tested they'd attempt to create a pathway to the Root. While experiencing the Root is a life-long dream, in its current setting, only the Wish-granting ability can be realized according to the family. As 'thanks' for participating the winner would be allowed to make use of the infinite amount of Magical energy for whatever they desired.

Shamelessly they had stolen from the Einzbern and were attempting to replicate the original ritual... But due to the potential gains and power that magi family could obtain from this chance, there was no punishment or Sealing Designation on behalf of the Mage's Association. The Einzbern were rightfully livid at this embarrassment, and even with all their clout couldn't mobilize a force to retake their masterpiece. Unable to take the embarrassment of the scandal, the family to withdraw from the Clock Tower's inner workings and strike it out on their own. With their great wealth and lineage, they would make it, but they have been rarely observed by the Mage's association for the last ten years. It appears the extent of their humiliation leads the mage's association to believe they won't try to interfere and instead have returned to the 'drawing board' so to speak.

The Holy Church seemed to have been in contact with the Palmgren family as all the preparations for a formal War, much like the ones in Fuyuki, had been completed without incident. Overseen by Anja Manuela Weber, the Church's Flame of Hatred, it has been ensured that any foul play won't be tolerated. Over the last five decades the Palmgren family has built a strong relationship with the church and due to their ties have refrained from entering themselves in the war. This was, of course, on the behest of the Church in exchange for more thorough support by the typically anti-magi faction. Instead, their Command Spells have been passed onto the Overseer so that seven impartial masters can be chosen.

As Magi who lived in Switzerland were chosen, and interested individuals from the Clock Tower arrived to do battle, the pieces began to fall into place. Anja and Mikael stand as a duo of overseers and impartial members that only desire to see the Grail appear before them. Then Seven Pieces had appeared... And the play had begun to weave itself into creation. Seven sets of commands that were dispersed to usher a great tapestry of carnage.

Mechanics

Unlike a typical grail War, there will be no Servant's applied for this war. Instead, they will all be presented with bare minimal stats provided for those who would be their Masters. They will be played as NPCs by myself. This is to ensure proper balancing and prevent metagaming, in addition to allowing proper strategy to occur. Only once you become a Servant's Master will you receive their full stat block, abilities, and likely true name.

Other players will not be privy to true names or abilities until they're discovered in RP, allowing some sense of danger and strategy since you do not have all the information. All these Heroic spirits have been balanced to have strength against some and weakness against others... None are 'weak' however and have the potential to win under the right conditions. Yes, even Assassin~

Please note that players will choose which they are interested in. In the event of mutual interest, a die roll will decide who receives the Servant. The looser of said die roll will choose again, and if necessary, another dice roll will occur. These will continue until all Servants have been distributed to their worthy Masters.

This IS a DEATH NABLED thread. Only one of you, likely, will survive to win this entire war... Though Alliances can still be made in the loss of a servant under the right conditions. In the event of your loss/death please be graceful and don't be toxic. I know we're all immensely attached to our characters but story and fairness comes first.

Also for those worried, there won't be a strict system or anything like that. If it makes sense on paper and isn't a blatant overpowered character you'll probably be accepted on the basis of a general concept.

I believe rules should guide a character, not to be so rigid to restrict them. So long as it doesn't blatantly spit in the face of the lore. If you have questions on mechanics or lore questions feel free to PM me or ask in a post.

Fate/Aureum Mea

That's two, at five I'll recreate a starter thread. Any questions?

Fate/High Rollers

Koschei, The Deathless

Class: Rider
True Name: Koschei
Titles: The Deathless, The Immortal
Sex: Male
Attribute: (Leave blank for now)

Personality: Cold, impersonal he can be a hard man to ally oneself with. He will always put forward his own safety above that of any of his compatriots. At the same time he likes to plan ahead and won't be afraid to make use of a little mayhem or death to further his goals. Morality and subtlety cannot overshadow his greed and pride.

History: A great demon of Russian Folklore. Unkillable and a diseased monster of a mage who spread havoc until he was sealed away. Ivan Tsarevitch mistakenly freed him and he stole his beloved, Marya, and had to go through a great number of trials and troubles to finally defeat the Giant. Fast as the wind, and impossibly clever, Ivan had to rely on a great many allies and trickeries to finally overcome Koschei the Deathless.

Parameters:
Strength: C
Endurance: D
Agility: B
Mana: A
Luck: C

Class Skills:

Riding: A
Rider is Capable of handling modern vehicles with unrealistic skill, and a qualifying rank for the 'Rider' Class. At this rank Phantasmal Beasts and magical mounts are not outside the realm of comprehension. Koschei is able to ride the very wind made flesh at this rank.

Magic Resistance: A
A rank that cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer".

Personal Skills:

Slavic Magecraft: B
The ability to perform Slavic Magecraft, Rider's namesake as a Sorcerer. Even though his ability has diminished slightly through his designated class he still shows great skill above any who exist in the current era. Of particular note, he can control the cardinal elements with a single verse, influence and curse others with his magical energy, and bend the very weather with his will. COmplex and 'complex' magecraft isn't something he makes particular use of and instead relies on his strengths pertaining to his Slavic origins.

Shapeshift: A
The ability to change one's form and at this rank, it's not limited by his physical body. Flesh can turn to wind itself or become a raging fire to consume his enemies. Since he lacks a soul dwelling in his body there is no "corrective" force on his Body. As such, unlike other individuals, he can dwell in his forms indefinitely if he so chooses and has no ideal form which he must return to. Rider can become anyone or anything imaginable so long as it has roughly the same mass and weight.

Frozen Death: A
The skill embodying the worship of Koschei as a force of nature and the manifestation as a "God of Death". It bestows the designation of "Force of Nature" on Rider and allows him to affect the world as easily as breathing. Unlike humans who have to "act" to bring about a result Rider merely achieves the result of "Cold" simply by existing. Heat naturally ceases to radiate, living things gradually freeze, and the surrounding structures will never fail to crumble around him. A curse that warps the world around the "Sorcerer" known as Koschei.

While he can't turn off the ability, he can alleviate its effect by making use of his shapeshifting ability. Dispersing his body over a large area will lessen the bitter cold. While walking around in his physical body everything around him will take constant damage. The oppressive cold will freeze master's solid in five rounds as long as they are within ten meters, but will incapacitate them in three rounds. Servants will take more or less damage based on their Endurance rank but will be able to survive around Koschei much longer than normal humans and animals. Magic and Cold resistance will lessen the damage as well.

Noble Phantasms

Okrovavlennyy Tuman: The Steed Which Carries A Red Wind - B
Noble Phantasm Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1~65

A wind elemental bound in the shape of a horse that Koschei had possessed in life. It's a nature-spirit that obeys its rider and only takes a convenient form so that he may ride it as a mount. At a whim, it can break its body apart to become winds and storms again and cover the entire battlefield in a Tornado, a Hurricane, or a batch of lighting with a destructive force on par with the highest caliber High-Thaumaturgy. Able to decimate a complete city block in an instant with its might it is a literal force of nature.

Koschei's can make use of his Shapeshift skill in order to turn into the wind along with his mount. This can make them seem like an illusion, impossible to trap or capture with conventional means. Any barrier will flow around and any cage escaped in a single breath. In fact, it can be even hard to hit them with any direct attacks as you'd have to burn or destroy all the air they'd flee into. Great anti-Army attacks able to fill a large space with lethal energy cannot be evaded and will burn the mount away. Even if Koschei cannot die so easily from direct damage, this mount doesn't have such a luxury and cannot be reformed if destroyed.

Koshchey: So Declared The World That He Shall Be Deathless - A
Type: Anti-Death, Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1

Koschei is famous for his deed of hiding his soul away outside of his body, in an innocuous object far removed from danger so that he would never experience death. In the Holy Grail War this can be any object deemed no larger than a few inches across upon calling out this Noble Phantasm's true name. Upon doing so Rider's spiritual core is stowed away inside of the object to no detriment to his Body and Mind's performance. This is because his body is held together by this Noble Phantasm and the anchor of his master.

In exchange, he can no longer return to spirit form as his "Soul" is no longer part of his body so he no longer technically a Spiritual entity. Instead, he is simply a puppet body manufactured by the Soul, given shape and repaired with his Master's magical energy. Each injury restored or time his body reformed costs an amount of mana, and if there isn't enough magical energy to sustain his Noble Phantasm, then Rider will perish. If this object that houses his Spiritual Core is destroyed he'll also die immediately.

Since his spiritual core is no longer in his body, lethal blows have ceased to have meaning. They can be regenerated merely by channeling Od into the organ or damaged part of his body, the Noble Phantasm transferring the Magical Energy to restoring the Bag that once contained his soul. Simple wounds such as broken limbs and ruptured organs can be cured almost indefinitely as it only takes a little bit of energy to reform the 'bag'. Rider can revive from firmly lethal blows a number of times equal to his Mana score (Five), with additional times being dependant on his Master's amount of upkeep and preparedness. Generally, he can naturally restore magical energy through his Magecraft at a rough rate of 2 lives per day, but this can be greatly increased through assistance from his Master.

NOTE: I will allow the GM to determine how many times he can be restored based on his own Magical Energy combined with his Master's reserves.

PS: Forgo this post, I've come in too late for with all the slots already taken with a dedicated player. Apologies for the initial barrage of interest but I will be respectfully withdrawing. Happy hunting all players!

Fate/Aureum Mea

I am looking to start, or rather, reboot a war that fell through... The last time I put this forward real-life disallowed me to keep attention to it. For those of you who were interested, I apologize. Moving on, in this setting, the Holy Grail was stolen similar in Apocrypha, and the next iteration is being initiated in Switzerland.

It's a War where no Servants will be permitted by players... Instead, I will be playing all of them. Information will be held close to the chest in that regard and only the Master of servants will be privy to their entire stat sheet. All of their opponents will only know basic stats such as Class, Parameters, and a general hint at catalyst. This is to ensure everyone has a chance and not whomever has the best Servant wins, as well as making sure they're balanced against each other in a fair manner.

This is a very Story-driven scene about an alternate history, possibly having a sequel if all goes well. Side-Players may ally themselves with the Masters for a more dynamic story, but 'teams' can be no more than two people similar to Kayneth and Sola-ui. This will only be permitted if a sufficient background is permitted.

I look forward to playing with you all.

Give me till the end of tomorrow and I'll get with you on a review Pigeon

Fate/Aureum Mea

Due to a lack of input sheets, with Lancer's Master being the only one sent to me so far... I am opening this up again. First Six, other than Lancer, to get a Master sheet approved in will receive their slots.

Those who had shown interest and reserved slots have had a two-week head start for their slots, so now I'm opening up again to the general public. Happy hunting everyone.
