Turboshitter — Roleplayer Guild

Interesting. I must say I appreciate the attention you gave to plot/post pacing, it's really clear, thanks. I'm not sure how fast I can get sheets up (I work a lot even during pandemic) but we'll see what I can do~ I might reach out to you privately Turbo in regards to some character things (regarding a master probably). I've got some ideas kicking around. Rider sheet will likely come first. 

When I get a master sheet closer to completion I'd love to make some pre-existing character connections with everyone too.@Yankee

Don’t worry, I work during the pandemic too. I even have to go into the office to keep the mail room running so my 9-5 has literally not changed a bit. I understand the difficulties of balancing RP and work.

Also, hell yeah man! This is a good thing to point out to everyone, pre-existing character connections between Masters are encouraged! These guys are ostensibly a loose sort of family, and even if they weren’t, connections make things more interesting.

”This is not a tale of Servants. Nor is it a tale of the Masters who command them. And it is certainly no telling of saints, either. This is the story of those who would grant their own wishes...”

Fate/Psuedepigrapha

Ahem!

Welcome welcome, come one and come all! The curtain doth rise on this, our most magnificent of Holy Grail Wars! Put out thy cigarette and take thy seat! No photographs allowed! Hold on to your headwear, my fine fellows, for the show is about to begin!

Ah, but where are my manners? After all, as the esteemed collegiates of Winchester hath declared, “Manners maketh man!” And their manners are more gentle, kind, than of our generation you shall find! I am known by many names and titles, but you may address me as William Shakespeare, the great bard himself, and I shall be your humble Ruler for this grand occasion!

Tonight, o what comedy! O what tragedy! Hell is empty and all the devils are here, for we hath once again descended unto the blood-soaked stage of the Great Holy Grail War! Not an encore, but a redux! A remake! A retelling! Gone are our original cast members! Gone is the apocryphal saint Shirou Amakusa, his self-righteous evil never again to taint the world! With us now, Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia, a fair man most foul and a foul creature most fair! His objectives unknown and now unimpeded, could this be thine moment to claim ultimate victory over those tyrants that make fools of men, the poisonous magisters that rule over the Clocktower? Or doth his pride cometh before a fall, as cruel fate and her sisters plot to make fools of us all? 

I myself, once a mere player on a different stage, join you now as director of this production. Indeed, one man in his time plays many parts, and I find myself enamored- nay, betrothed to this very role! My one, my only wish be’eth not one for the Holy Grail, but for my own miserly, quaking fingers! To write! To sing! Of a battle for the ages, one decorated in sin and selflessness, desire and destruction!

Now, let us begin! Strut and fret your hour upon the stage, my dear players! Will your tale be one told by an idiot; full of sound and fury, signifying nothing? Or shall you breaketh the chains of thy fate and claim thy treasure divine? That sweet, succulent ambrosia known to men around the globe as... the Holy Grail?

And so we begin again! In less fanciful terms, the main thrust of this RP which will be detailed further in the 0th post is a retelling of Fate/Apocrypha in which Shirou Amakusa did not survive the Third Holy Grail War and the Great Holy Grail War of Trifas proceeds more towards Yggdmillennia’s designs as a declaration of rebellion towards the Mage’s Association. This time around, you will be making your own war plans and directly facing off against the Masters of Red handpicked directly by the Clocktower.

Anyone who was in my last Fate RP will be familiar with the ground rules:

Respect your GMs. As GM, I and whoever I may declare co-GM have the final say on any submitted character sheets or OOC arguments about lore/gameplay. I reserve the right to deny sheets for whatever reason, whether it be balance issues or just a matter of aesthetics. As this is a PvE RP, there will also be times where I will be required to re-rail the plot or autohit your characters (though never without reason). This is a non-negotiable part of the GM/player contract. As long as you show respect to the position of GM, the GM will show respect to you, and I will do my best to treat everyone fairly.
No autohitting, godmodding etc. I don't expect there to be much PvP in this RP, but it's still worth reminding. As I said before, GMs may occasionally autohit players, but only for plot reasons, and never fatally or irreparably. Unless, of course, you break the following rule.
Anyone who goes quiet for more than seven consecutive days will receive a message inquiring as to their whereabouts. Failing to respond to this message will be considered to mean you have dropped out of the RP. My intention is to keep this RP going through hell or high water as long as I am able and people are interested, be it for however many months or even years it takes. I will not enforce a strict "you must post this often in so many days" rule, but I do demand that you at least post once a week every week. If you can't make an IC post of any substantial length in that timeframe, then make a short post in the OOC letting us know and explaining the circumstances. If you do, you will be given another three days to post. If that's still not enough time, you can arrange for whoever you're partnered with to take control of your characters until you are able to post, or else they will fall under GM control.
Any characters who are under GM control will be subject to the GM's whims. As their players will at that time have been considered to have dropped out, this can include almost anything I may think to do with your characters, up to and including death or dishonor. Please try not to let this happen. We take no joy in this but this rule exists for the express purpose of keeping this RP from stalling because of disappearing players.
Servants whose Masters have died (in most cases due to decisions made by the GM) will die unless they are in possession of Independent Action or a Rank B or higher in Mana, in which case they will be allowed to team up with one of the existing Masters or seek shelter at Yggdmillennia Castle to await the appearance of any willing contractors or Masters who have also lost their Servants. In the case of a Master whose Servant drops out, that player will have the option to continue playing both Master and Servant if they so desire, or "adopt" a Servant who has made it safely back to HQ.
I will not enforce a "you must post this often in so many days" rule, but I will enforce a "you may only post this often in so many days" rule. A common problem I see in RPs, Fate RPs especially, is a few players posting so much and so often that other people interacting with them feel overwhelmed or left behind, which often leads to them dropping out. I want to avoid this. As such, each player may only post a maximum of twice a day. For some people this may seem slow, for others it may seem fast. However I’m doing it to keep the RP going steady at what I believe is a manageable pace for everyone, and no one is required to post twice a day, you just can't post more than that.
Be curteous and respectful to everyone (within reason, of course), and have a great time playing with each other!

Of course, more rules may be added if it ever becomes necessary to do so. In addition to the rules, there will be a 0th post going up containing information about locations, war assets, and other important things in the world of the RP, such as a recap of current events and your current battle strategy (decided hopefully by yourselves for the most part, but Darnic can intercede with some guidance if you ever start to feel a bit directionless). With the absence of strategic assets such as Avicebron, the situation Yggdmillennia finds itself in will be different and I encourage you to think about what larger role you may or may not wish to play in that. You are the scions of Yggdmillennia now. Its fate rests in your hands.

With all that out of the way, here are your character sheets! You may format them however you wish, so long as you stick to this template:

[appearance]

Name: (personal and family name first, followed by “Yggdmillennia”)
Gender: 
Age: 
Height/Weight: (use centimeters and kilograms, please)
Alignment: (Chaotic, Neutral, or Lawful, then Good, Evil or Neutral)
Master of: 

At least two or three paragraphs, please.

See the above. Keep in mind that you are all members of the Yggdmillennia clan, so part of your background will involve how your family came to be a part of their network as well as your personal history.

Yggdmillennia is a family, of sorts at least. Who’s your favorite cousin, who do you think is the crazy uncle, and what’s your opinion on the black sheep of the famil?

Origin: (typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Magecraft)
Element: (see above)
School of Magecraft: (typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Magic… ; feel free to use that as a reference or come up with your own)

List of Skills/Spells: (please list every spell of note that your character knows; you will have the opportunity to think of more later if you wish as long as you run them past me first)

Mystic Codes: (typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Mystic_Code ; Mystic Codes are fundamentally different from normal spells and don't/shouldn't require any significant expenditure of magical energy)

Circuit Quality: (on a scale of E to A, with E being a garbage-tier magus like Shirou and A being a top class magus like Rin)
Circuit Quantity: (see above)

Other: (anything else you want to make note of)

[appearance]

Class: 
True Name: 
Master: 
Gender: 
Alignment: 
Height/Weight: 

As above.

This is really only necessary if any details differ significantly from their established lore.

Stats: STR:
END:
AGL:
MAG:
LCK:

Class Skills: (typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Skill ; no more than five at the absolute most, three is the average)

Personal Skills: (see above)

Name:
Title:
Type: (Anti-Unit, Anti-Army, Anti-Fortresss, Anti-Country, Anti-World etc.)
Rank: (from E to EX, as per usual)
Range: (I know the series itself rarely does this, but please use meters and kilometers)
Maximum Number of Targets: (this one is more arbitrary than the others, as you can in theory cram a rather large number of people/targets into a small space in improbable situations, so just list a number you think fits)
Description:

Alright, and with that we have everything we need to start accepting applications! I’ll get to work on some example character sheets and what will hopefully be an informative 0th post as time allows me. If you have any questions, please ask!
