I'm interested trying a fate series based rp incorporated with a simple dice roll battle system and post order. This is my first time trying this and I'd like some talented rpers as testers. Anyone interested? I prefer people familiar with the fate series, but others are welcome to join so long as they read the rules:) Here's the overview:


Centuries ago, God blessed humankind with a wish-granting chalice called the Holy Grail that was meant to be used by heroes—magic users—to save humanity in times of great peril. However, humans, in their greed, have fought over the grail and used it for their own selfish desires. As a result, the grail had become corrupted, causing both great salvation and great disaster over the course of humanity. Every 50 years, the Holy Grail would choose 7 candidates(mages) to fight for possession of the grail in what was known as the Holy Grail War. They were given the power to summon one of 7 servants to be their partner and represent them in the war. The winner of the war, the last survivors(Master+servant), would have their wishes granted.


Flash forward to the year 2015, the Holy Grail War is about to start again. In the midst of technological advancements and science, most of humanity had forgotten about the existence of the Holy grail—or magic. Only a few still remember. Hidden from the normal civilians, mages have built a society of their own and trained in hopes of participating in the war. They do it for honor, glory, wealth…and the right to influence the world.


***


You will be rping as either a Master or Servant in the Holy Grail War.


Master: You are a modern mage chosen to participate in the Holy Grail War…whether they want to or not. Three command seals appeared randomly on your body signifying your status as a participant. As a master, you are required to summon one of 7 servants to represent you in the war/fight by your side. You can be a mage from a long history of magic users or civilian who has just recently discovered he/she has magic. Whichever the case, the Grail has chosen you as someone with the right to wield its powers.


Servant: You are a figure of legends(can be historical or fictional) whose spirit has been preserved by the grail because enough people still remember/believe in you. You’ve answered the summons of a mage to participate in the Holy Grail War and were given bodily form by the magic of the summoning. The mage is what anchors you to the human realm. Thus you are the Mage’s Servant, bound to serve him/her because of the three seals that appeared on your body. However, you still retain your personality(and memories depending how accurately the summoning was done). As a Servant, you are much more powerful than the average mage under normal circumstances.


To win the war, Master and Servant must work together to find and eliminate 6 other Master-Servant duos before they themselves get eliminated. Do you have what it takes to survive this war?


If you're interested read the rules and mechanics here for further details.
 
As somebody who has read all of Fate/Apocrypha, all the VN routes, Hollow atraxia, strange fake, and spends at least two hours a day on the Fate/stay night and typemoon subreddits, I approve of this roleplay!
 
I had a look at your RP... Damn. That is just... amazing. The amount of work you put into that thing, the rules, the lore, everything. It makes me feel insecure about my own Fate RP. lol...


But really, it's incredible, the amount of details you put into everything. I guess the standards around this forum must be really high. (>:<) Mind if I use the lore section of your RP as a reference for building the lore section of mine?
 
Thank you :) I've actually been ruminating this idea for a while and finally managed to get it down into words. Most of my lore was taken from the wiki so feel free to use as reference.


As for standards, I don't have a minimum post requirement. I do, however expect ppl to read and follow the rules of the rp. The dice rolling and all the technical stuff(which is honestly not that much) will be done by me. That's why I won't be rping a participant in the war, but as the game's moderator--and god in a sense.
 
I assume there would be no applying for a servant-gone-rogue workaround since there don't appear to be any characters left.

No, sorry. Only 7 masters and 7 servants in this rp.

Heyyy. Totally got my interest. I've been silently crying for a Fate RP that is simple and works. I swear I'd replay it forever.


Anyway, I came to suggest something rather than join. I like where you're going with this, so I'm saying something. It's up to you, but I implore you to cancel the RP and test it out with one or two people. It will do wonders for role-play.


I was looking at the mechanics and see a few things that would become problems for you. The healing for example, is unclear. Also, getting people to fight each other will be difficult too. Have a post limit. If no one wins by post 100 for example, the game is over.


There's more but hey, that's why I suggest to test it. I like the path you're headed on! <3

I actually love the post limit idea, you could start with different Servant/Master pairings every time and simulate the different 'routes' the Holy Grail War would take. That would be pretty fun and interesting.

I'm glad u like it:)


The rpers willing to participate in this rp are my test bunnies, in a sense(i mean this in the nicest way possible:P). I have no idea how well the battle system will work especially with 14 ppl and an implemented post order, but I want to find out. I do like ur idea of a post limit tho. If this rp doesn't work out(either ends too quickly or no one fights) then I'll definitely try it out with my next attempt^^


Umm, what exactly about the healing aspect did u find unclear? Any feedback you're willing to give is much appreciated.

Okay, let's say someone runs, then stops to heal. Is that part of battle if they're being chased? And how do you run away exactly? Do you have to beat a certain number? What if the person wants to chase you?


Then third, it'd be best to have 1 person controlling the servant and master. Post orders are hard enough. Having 14 different people posting in order is just asking for trouble =P. Believe it! You'll see!
 
My idea is something along the lines of:


rper1 tries to escape the battle in his rp using any method he/she wants(hiding behind building, jumping into ocean, etc).


rper 2 tries to chase rper1


Dice is rolled and higher number succeeds in their action.


If rper1 sucessfully escaped battle, they may heal in their next rp. Lol, it's pretty simple now that i think about it.


The 14 ppl in a post order is the thing I'm most worried about this rp. However, having 1 person controlling servant+master takes away the fun from servant-master interactions, which I don't wanna do. I believe it might be possible if enough ppl are committed, but I agree it'll be tricky to keep so many ppl interested.

Wonderful. Well in that case, I wish you the best of luck!
