Yo. Seeing if peeps be interested in a new RP story-line. With the cult gone, the grail war can begin in earnest. Seven masters, all mages of varying strength, and their seven servants, Heroic spirits of legends, all compete to knock the others out of the fight either through death or willing surrender. Once only one duo is left, the grail will reveal itself to them and grant them both one wish

Touching on the two roles once more

Masters: Masters are people who have inherit magical energy in some form. The grail chooses them seemingly at random, and assigns a servant that fits their personality to them. They can be relatively strong mages, or only have a single magic circuit to their name, but they are almost always much weaker than the servants themselves. What they have however, is three command seals. Three tattoo like marks that appear on their body, each one allowing them to give their servant an absolute command. the command does not pay heed to reality necessarily, allowing such things as summoning servant from great distances with the simple command of 'come'. However, once you use all three seals, you are out of the war

Servants: Servants are the spriits of Heroes of legend. There are seven classes

Saber: Servants placed within this class are agile and powerful melee warriors. It is commonly assumed to be the best class overall, with high ratings in all categories. It is one of the three Knight classes, together with Lancer and Archer and also possesses the Riding skill like the Rider class.

A few examples: King Arthur, Spartacus, Prince Yamatotakeru

Lancer: Servants placed within this class are very agile and skilled with long-range melee weapons, such as spears, lances, etc. It is one of the three Knight classes, together with Archer and Saber.

Vlad the impaler, Cu Cuhlan, King Leonidas

Archer: Servants placed within this class are usually proficient with projectiles and can survive longer without a Master nearby, thanks to their special ability Independent Action; the strongest Archers can be difficult to control at times, in fact, due to their near-total independence from their "Masters". It is one of the three Knight classes, together with Lancer and Saber.

Emiya Shirou, Robin Hood, Odysseus

Rider: Servants placed within this class place emphasis upon speed and powerful Noble Phantasms, which often include their mounts. Their special skill is Riding, which allows them to fully utilize abilities of their mounts (which can range from simple horses to mechanical vehicles to divine or supernatural creatures.).

Medusa, Genghis Khan,

Caster: Servants placed within this class are adept in magecraft and have a special ability akin to Reality Marble, called Territory Creation, which alters or creates space around them to enhance their sorcery.

Medina, Merlin

Assassin: Servants placed within this class are always, as a rule, one of the 19 Hassan i Sabbah, the leaders of the clan of the Hashshashins who passed their name down (although this rule does not hold absolutely true in the Fate/Extra reality). The Assassin in Fate/stay night summoned by Caster is an exception, an aberration in the system, as he was summoned by another Servant. This rule comes from how the word "assassin" itself finds its etymological roots in that clan. The Assassins' special ability is Presence Concealment, which allows them to remain undetected. Offset by their stealth is their weak combat skills. Due to this, Assassins often target Masters instead of Servants.

See above

Berserker: Servants placed within this class are always incarnations of heroes who have gone berserk on their lifetime. This trait allows them to use the special ability Mad Enhancement, which trades their consciousness (i.e. sanity) for a large power boost. Most Masters are incapable of controlling their Servant once Mad Enhancement has been activated, which eventually results in their death.

Hercules, Sir Lancelot

In general, you want to pick a hero who matches up with each class as close as possible.

will fill in more later, but DO NOT pick a specific character just yet, just post if you have interest in playing, and whether as servant or master
