Getting His Feet Wet
Fate/Marion Magi
Plot
Somewhere in the far reaches of the galaxy, a Magical Girl named Homura Akemi had stolen the power of the goddess, Madoka Kaname. With it, she reshaped the world and transformed every Magical Girl and Witch of the past and future into normal teenage girls, unknowing of the grave consequences that awaited her. In her vengeance, she also turned the creator of the Magical Girl system, the Incubator named “Kyubey”, into her own cosmic plaything while cursing it with human emotions, and more importantly, pain receptors.
Elsewhere, a bored spectator named “Koyemshi” had been waiting for this moment. In an amusing turn of irony, he offered Kyubey a contract of freedom in exchange for carrying out tasks given by his masters. To perform these tasks, Kyubey would be granted the power to traverse between different realities. The Incubator accepted.
In an alternate reality, a priest named Kirei Kotomine had been researching the Second Magic - the power of parallel realities. Ever since the fifth Holy Grail War bore fruit a fictional Servant who should not have existed, the man devoted to finding out the meaning of his own existence became interested in exploring the nature of fictional beings. But in his experiments, he inadvertently let in the Incubator Kyubey into his world. More curious than cautious, Kirei began exchanging pleasantries as well as information regarding his own world and reality. Kirei learned about the Magical Girl system, whereas Kyubey learned of the Holy Grail War.
When both saw a golden opportunity to capitalise on each other’s resources for their own goals, they came to an agreement: Kirei would provide knowledge of the inner-workings of the Holy Grail and its bloody history, while Kyubey would supply its advanced tech to ‘materialise’ fictional Servants into existence, a summoning that was normally impossible in the past.
Now, six centuries later, the Holy Grail War has evolved. Fictional Servants are now commonplace due to their advanced powers and technologies beyond the bindings of reality, Masters are now only allowed to kill other Servants and not other Masters, the Holy Church has fallen upon discovery that God too was a fictional puppet, the primitive Mage’s Association was defeated by the superior firepower of alien-tech, and the teenage girls of Kyubey's world, forced to become Magical Girls once more, have been enslaved by Kyubey as Servants of the Holy Grail War.
You are a fellow Master preparing for the 16th Holy Grail War in this new age of technology. With the start of a new War, who shall obtain the miracle they have wished for?

So, basically, this is a crossover between the Fate/Stay Night universe and the Madoka Magica universe. There's a lot of lore-reading involved once the OOC is up, especially if you're unfamiliar with the story behind either (or both) of the franchises, but I promise I'll make it worth your while with a great RP ahead.
Basically, you'll be playing one of the seven Masters in the latest Holy Grail War (a battle royale for a wish-granting grail), and you have learned to summoned fictional Servants, something previously impossible within the physics of the Fate franchise. Kirei from Fate has joined up with Kyubey from Madoka, and they have reinvented the Holy Grail War such that fictional characters from TV shows, movies, video games, comic books, and other miscellaneous fictional mediums could be summoned as Servants. This proves to be revolutionary in the Holy Grail War because these fictional Servants possess extraordinary capabilities that exceed the imaginations of Greek mythologies and the limited 'realism' of Servants based on real life historical figures (imagine summoning Darth Vader to fight against Arturia Pendragon). There's a whole technophobia theme going on with this story, a debate between innovation and tradition, as well as the question of whether if artificial life should be treated as fairly as any kind of life (think Mass Effect 3, and to a lesser extent, Digimon Tamers).
I'm really hoping to get this RP off the ground, so if there's a really thin amount of interest gathered for this, I might settle for two characters per player, which means you get to play both the Master and the Servant. The previous plan was for each player to play either a Master or Servant, and then each of you get to pick which player you want to cooperate with as you work together as Master and Servant to win the Holy Grail.
But yeah, this would make a lot more sense if you have at least read the Fate/Stay Night visual novel. Nevertheless, it will all be explained in a summarised codex if this ever gets to the OOC stage and past the Interest Check stage, so non-fans... more or less don't have much to be concerned about. (
)Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Leave a comment below and let me know what you think. (

) It was definitely a lot of effort put into this, I'll say that much, but it only took me about five or six days to put together the basic skeleton of the RP, how it would play out, that kind of stuff.
