I don't suppose everyone would agree to meet at a prepared café before they summon their servants, leave behind all weapons, and sit at the table with the blinking red lights under the seats :3 It would make Tama's quest for love so much easier, neh?

@Lonewolf685

Not really.

The Lesser Grail won't descend unless the Servants are summoned and then die.

If the Masters die prematurely then some other magus with a Mark of the Chosen will summon instead.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

And away we go.

@kusanagifire, @Moonman, @Flamelord, @Lonewolf685, @Hantu Kongkek, @KoL, @Zobozun, @Turboshitter, @Scrapula, @ADamnFiddle, @Black Alice, and @vFear, good luck.

Don't die too quickly.

Location unknown

In a sea of darkness, a point of light thrummed as though it were alive. A hand was laid on it, glowing with its own light as it caressed that.

That omnipotent cup filled with the blood of God.

That tool used to puncture a hole to that roiling sea outside of the human World.

That magic circle designed to actualize the third of the final True Magics, the third of the five tasks that remain for humanity.

The owner of the hand felt a smile come to their face, eyes looking warmly to that device. The work of the Three Great Families really was something incredible. If it wasn't for them, none of this would have been possible, but as it stood now...

"...why are you crying?"

Retracting their hand, the figure standing before that wishgranting device frowned slightly, before letting out a soft sigh. "There's no need to be like that, you know. If you had been allowed to leave the world forever, then that path would have been lost along with you. That can't occur. After all, you are the strength through which I will save humanity. You should be happy."

Even now, the figure didn't understand. The designers of this device were brilliant, so why did they make such a perfect foundation with such a flawed execution? It was that flawed execution that led them to ruin; had this not been the case, they would have achieved their goals.

No...perhaps not. Not all of them. After all, the collective is not to be underestimated. If you successfully do the "impossible" and create a door to that place that cannot be assigned a name, then before you can step into it, something will step out from the other side...

Turning their back on the Holy Grail, the figure smiled softly. The summoning of the Servants would begin soon, and with it, the Holy Grail War. By tomorrow morning, the Masters would likely begin binding their Servants.

"Goodnight, Justeaze. Sleep well, we'll soon need to work."

Uttering these words, the figure left.

And so, the curtain opened on a tragic play with its conclusion already decided.

Fuyuki City, Japan

As a Master, you have come to this city in pursuit of the 726th Holy Grail. As a result, there is only one path to follow: the destruction of all Masters other than yourself. All alliances that you forge are fragile, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

The seven Masters have arrived in the city at the same time, and each of them must summon their Servant should they have any intent of surviving the day. In Fuyuki, there are four fallen leylines. Given this status, these areas are likely to be the goal of many of the magi; after all, any competent magus would view these four locations as the ideal ones for a base of operations.

The mountaintop Ryuudou Temple, perfect for the maintenance of Servants. The Fuyuki Park, unmarred by the tragedy that would have struck it in a different world. The Church on a hill, run by a man of the cloth. The Tohsaka house, abandoned since their line died out in the Third Holy Grail War.

So go forth, fight for your goal of that omnipotent cup which can grant any wish.

Perhaps this time, a miracle will occur.

@Unoedipal

Don't tell me what to do. You're not my real dad. *Internally tips Fedora*

@ADamnFiddle

I can make your character unable to reinforce breakfast burritos, you know.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

Alrighty, so Turboshitter's Master's approved now, just waiting on him to post it. As all the pairs are decided and all the characters approved, I'll be putting up the OP this evening.

In the meantime, get to know your partner and plan stuff out with them on how you plan on winning the war.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

Can Master's still be appd until all the Servants are paired off?

@Lonewolf685

No. Technically though, since Turboshitter's not approved yet, one slot is open, but he only has one thing to really edit so the odds of stealing it out from under him are low.

Non-Master magi, however, can be apped.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

@vFear
Alrighty, you're good to go. Go ahead and move it to the Characters tab.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

@ADamnFiddle
Make the last round of edits I said to do in PMs.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

@vFear

Why does a Chinese family care so much about a backwater irrelevant ritual held in Japan that nobody cares about or even keeps records about?

The family views mana as chi

Qi is od, not mana. As a point of clarification, mana is the greater source, the prana in the environment, whereas od is the lesser source, the prana of living beings.

Healing

On what principle does this work? IE, increased natural rate of regeneration, something similar to the Dead Apostle's Curse of Restoration, etc.

Resistance Defense

Since this is a sustained magecraft analogous to making a Mystic Code, it'll take time to make instead of being an instant cast, just as a heads-up.

Air Synchronization

This will be much less efficient than using a broom where air movement is concerned, as a heads up.

The spell uses half the normal mana when cast on others.

Remove this. It'll actually be harder because the Resistance effect is a thing.

Three variations of this spell exist: a three-word chant that does a lesser amount of damage, a sentence-long chant that does significant damage and a two-sentence long chant that does more damage again.

Three-Count spells in this are treated as C rank, One-Count and Two-Count as D rank.

amplifier mystic code

For what specifically?

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

After a mistake of spectacular proportions, I've managed to lose a mostly completed character sheet. I'll try to get it rewritten later today after work.

@vFear

F-Fighto. ;~;
