Master Profiles Template: First Holy Grail War:

Servant Profiles Stat sheets detailing the parameters and Noble Phantasms of all Servants available can be found here. Remember that metagaming is strictly prohibited. Many Servants qualify for more than one class; the class that suits them the closest is where they will be found. A point to note is that Servants that may seem "overpowered" may not actually work out to be so; this only lists abilities, not their costs, and makes no mention of personality. Here is a template: Saber Archer Lancer Rider Berserker Assassin Caster Ruler

Fate/Reborn Story: Growing up you certainly heard stories of great heroes. Legends from stories such as Graterras, Of Shadow and Flame, and ANKL. But never would you have imagined getting to meet those heroes. Well now you have been provided the chance. For whatever reason, you want something, you want this something so desperately you would risk your very life for the chance to obtain it. And you’re now being given the chance to acquire that something. Every five years a mystical artifact known as the Holy Grail chooses seven Masters to summon one of seven Servants to fight in a battle to the death. The winner of this so-called Holy Grail War will be granted one wish, with this wish you can attain whatever it is you want. In addition, you will also gain protection from disease and slowed aging You may also be a servant, summoned by one of these Masters to fight and win the Grail for them. Your reasons for doing this may be simple or complex. Why is not too important, what matters is that you are here and you must fight Setting: This RP is set in a fictional city called Seigishi. This is a random Japanese city where the Grail War is held, chances are that your Master didn’t grow up here, but is from a different country entirely. This is simply where the Grail appears Combat: As this is a PvP-based RP, combat will play a central role. Standard RP forum battle etiquette applies; give your opponent a chance to respond to every action unless it is completely and utterly beyond the realm of possibility that they could, and essentially “play to lose.” That means being reasonable with the effect an attack has on your character; a giant, city-destroying laser is going to do more than make your character sweat, for example. The Fate series does use a ranking system to help determine combat outcomes: these range from E to A rank, and serve as rough estimations of the relative power of attacks. A + or - next to a parameter represents an increase or decrease in the parameter due to another factor; these are called Rank-Up and Rank-Down respectively. A full explanation can be found here, but the above should be enough for the purposes of this RP. Rules: Follow all Reborn Forum rules No bunnying/powerplaying/godmodding/etc Respect the moderators’ decisions Respect your fellow RPers Understand that your character will most likely die If you do not post for two weeks straight without reasonable excuse beforehand (EX: vacation, no internet, etc) your characters will be killed off to prevent the RP from stalling And try to have fun, that’s the whole point of this after all ^^ Characters: Upon joining this RP you have three options for how you will participate: You may play a Master You may offer to play a Servant You may play a Master and Servant, but not a Master/Servant pair Masters: If you wish to play as a Master, you may apply for one of the seven slots using the sheet provided in the third post. Character slots will fill based on the order they are accepted, not in the order they are posted (you may not reserve a spot). If you have participated in a previous Grail War where your character survived, you may reuse them with minor updates based on the previous war’s events Servants: If you wish to play as a servant, you may submit a stat sheet using the template provided in the second post. Submitting a stat sheet is agreeing that you are willing to play that character in the RP if they are summoned. Note that, depending on how many different RPers join and how many different classes you submit characters for, you may not always have one of your servants summoned. If at any point you no longer wish to participate as a servant (or a specific servant), simply notify one of the Fate/Reborn moderators and your characters will be tagged as inactive Summoning and Controlling Servants: While in the standard Fate series it is possible to choose which servant you want specifically, for the sake of simplicity, in this RP you may only request which class you want. You may also only choose a class that has not already been claimed by another Master. It’s also possible to simply summon a Servant with no catalyst, in which case you will be matched with a Servant suiting the Master. Your Master may order about their servant in any way they please, however, servants do possess free will and may go against these orders as they please. Your Master will also be given three Command Seals. When used, these Seals allow the master to compel their Servant to do anything the Master wishes, whether the servant would normally agree to it or not. The more specific the command is, the more powerful it will be; for example, a command to “come here” would result in instant teleportation, regardless of whether the Servant is normally capable of doing so themselves. A command to win the War, however, would do essentially nothing. A full explanation of Command Seals can be found here. Servants will be summoned with basic knowledge of the world, as well as the basic knowledge of the War itself. (This includes the ability to speak the language of the area.) Servants summoned for multiple Grail Wars will not recall the events of previous wars or any information about the world they learned during them.

Well, I'm pretty sure we're only planning to use characters of participants in the RP. Meaning that you would be playing your own character as a Servant summoned by another RPer's Master. So in you make a Heroic Spirit stat sheet for your character, that's basically saying you're willing to play that character if they're summoned in the RP

Yes, there will be politics happening. I alluded to that in the original post when I talked about the war between Kalo and Nayo. And even if we weren't, this is a very complete world so this would still be part of the world, just not something pertinent to the RP (like, I also have a general idea of the military structures and strategies of the different countries, but that's not going to matter one bit) It's not totally apparent, but that "sure" is basically an "Alexus Sure™" The school is in Kalo, I thought I'd mentioned that >_< Sorry if I didn't And yes Commander, it probably never would have come up quite so specifically (the most we would have gotten was some comments about men being treated as livestock or something) Though there are people questioning it; it's a major political issue right now, the ethics of how men are treated in society

Dobby, men being oppressed like that is like super-important to the world of Alex's political state. And yes, Strat, you P much hit it right on the money

Mrrp, so I was gonna try to avoid this subject, but then it was too funny not to http://pastebin.com/jTq5DzfR

Well, chances are you won't be able to play a master/servant pairing, though that's not finalized. Just, having the servants be more separate from the masters would be more like actual Fate, esp. when it comes to Archers. Not set in stone though We're thinking of just having a large pool of summon-able heroic spirits and then early on in the RP all the masters will each summon a different one

I, am not really the biggest fan of how this is going TBH. Like, it all just feels really forced

Oh, whoops, I was too focused on the content of the post and forgot about the rest >_< And yeah, Sarcy says Fate stuff hasn't gone that great, but we want to try anyways. And I think it will be fun to summon other people's characters to fight for us

So hey, Sarcy and I have been brainstorming a bit about doing an RP based on the Fate Series. For those who don't know Fate, basically what happens is there's a war for the Holy Grail and seven mages, known as masters, summon the spirits of great heroes, known as servants, from one of seven classes--Archer, Assassin, Berserker, Caster, Lancer, Rider, and Saber--to fight and win the Holy Grail for them. In this case, the heroic spirits would be characters from other RPs on the site. We're still working on the details, but we need to have a general idea of how many people would be interested before we finalize a few things about how the RP works If this goes over well, we're certainly interested in running more of these. It's likely it could become something along the lines of a reroll, except without premade characters

She preferred being alone? That was something Lilith found familiar. Though she did understand not liking crowds, Lilith had felt crowded with just three people. "Crowds aren't fun." She agreed, "But being all alone can't be good for you either." Lilith bit her lip, what she was about to say seemed pretty out of the blue. But it was almost like some unseen puppet-master was forcing her to say it. "In fact... I'm partnerless myself." Lilith paused, giving it one last consideration before finishing her question, "So, um, i-if you'd l-like, I'd be h-honered to have you as my p-partner." Lilith subconsciously braced herself for a negative answer. Arya was the first person she'd encountered she'd actually had a real interest in partnering with, so chances were she was in for major disappointment.

And it was decreed that all mornings begin with a cup of coffee with cream

Kindle nodded, "Yeah, that's why I'm in here, a gem thing blew up in my face." Names? She did remember Mr. Scraggly's name, but decided against telling Hikaru. He seemed nice enough, but she hadn't known him long enough to be sure she trusted him. "I don't remember their names, I just called the one Mr. Scraggly." She accepted the paper with his number, "I'll be sure to call as soon as I can." She gave a polite bow and waiting for him to leave. (OOC: Blergh, this post could be better, but it's the best I've got ATM. I assume this heralds the end of the interaction?)

Lilith looked at the drawing, and found her breath completely taken away by how absolutely gorgeous it was. "It's n-nice to meet you, A-Arya." She said upon regaining it. She gave the area a quick scan, nobody seemed to be around. She was sure someone so pretty and talented as Arya would have a partner, if not an entire group of friends. Even Lilith, who had only just opened herself to the idea of having friends--which would probably come back to bite her if her mother ever found out--hadn't had to sit alone for very long. "W-why are you here all a-alone? Y-you and your art are so p-pretty, you must have a p-p-par-partner." She said.

All the while a robot was singing the blues

Lilith is too much fun to write

(OOC: I'll edit in further posts as they are completed) Riley The poke registered in Riley's nerves, but she managed to restrain herself from jumping. Lexi, on the other hand, seemed to shoot up fifteen feet in the air. Riley giggled momentarily, but was silenced by a glare from Lexi. "Don't do that." Lexi said indignantly. "Oh come on sis, it's all in good fun." Riley replied, stifling another giggle. Everything felt so, peaceful right now. There was the noise of a room full of girls having idle chit-chat, but compared to the insanity of lunchtime, this was nothing. Riley had her friends, old and new, it felt like nothing in the world could go wrong. (OOC: Also, it'd be nice if Lyre and Sion could attempt to complete their partner-ifying within their next couple posts) Lilith Lilith didn't really pay much attention to her friends. It wasn't that she didn't like them, it was that she had seen someone else who had caught her interest. Across the room, sitting by herself as Lilith had been moments earlier, a pretty black-haired girl was drawing. She seemed very focused on her drawing, but just for a moment she looked up. In fact, she looked in Lilith's direction. Though normally shy, Lilith's confidence was bolstered by her little group of friends and she stood. "I'll be back in a minute." She said absentmindedly to the other three. She then walked over too where the girl was sitting, now leaning against the wall with her eyes closed. "Um, h-hello." Lilith said, her confidence suddenly draining out, "I'm L-Lilith. I like dr-drawing, c-c-c-can I s-see what you were, were drawing?" Inside, Lilith wanted to turn and run back to her friends, but she stood her ground, mostly because she was too nervous to move.

But the duck was a virgin
