Fate/ Crimson Dream Singup

Fate Crimson Dream

On this unremarkable city, a miracle is about happen

In the hidden world of Magic dark tidings are rising, the great house of the Einzberg family has been raided and many powerful sorcerers have been found death.

And now on the English city of Weirhollow the unexpected has happened.

A challenge has been thrown to mages from all over the world as the ritual known as the Holy Grail War has been casted.

A contest in which mages known as Masters make their claim to enter the tournament by the way of summoning a Servant, a legendary figure from the Throne of Heroes to fight in their stead. The last Master to survive the War with his Servant shall be awarded the prize of the Holy Grail rumored to be able to grant one single wish.

If you deem yourself worthy to possess the Holy Grail and are willing to risk your life in the struggle then come to Weirhollow and whisper your summons. By a trial of Magic and Steel you shall be tested and in the end only one may receive the greatest of all blessings.

This letter has been sent far and wide, the sender is unknown but the promise of Grail is more than enought to spark the interest of the contenders and make them cast aside their suspicions.

Weirhollow is the stage to this play, a little city surrounded by tall mountains where few mages dwell, nobody knows why this place is the one chosen, the only thing certain is that before it all ends it's long peace shall come to an end.

Alright all pretentiousness aside this is a new Fate/Stay Night RPG, you can join the game as one of the Masters, the Servants or another character that somehow got involved in the war.

The Master must be a Mage of some talent able to perform the Summoning ritual but besides that you may developt the character in any way you desire.

The Servant must be a hero, a person of legend or renown, the Servant can't be a god, the higher you can aspire to are semi deities, like Heracles.

Further information on Servants can be found here and for more information on the diferent classes you can look here.

Additionally those who want to play Servants must fill this form:

• Class:

• Master:

• True Name:

• Gender:

• Height/ Weight:

• Alignment:

• Stats: (From E to A+, E being the worst, A+ being the highest)
  • Strength:

  • Endurance:

  • Agility:

  • Magical Energy:

  • Luck:

  • Noble Phantasm (Rank):

• Class Abilities: (From E to A+, a single Servant will obviously not have all of these. Also how strong these abilities will be depends on the individual Servant)

• Skills: Particular powers that depend on the Heroic Spirit's character.

• Noble Phantasms: Weapons and powers unique to the Heroic Spirit alone.

You don't have to fill it all to reserve a spot, if you have any difficulties with it you may ask for assistance or check some examples here.

The setting is the small fictional city of Weirhollow, encased in mountains from north west and south and plains on the east.

Here are some simple rules for this game:

• Number one and most important No Godmodding, even if you play as an all mighty servant about to drive your heaven-splitting sword into the heart of a cripple child Master in a wheelchair, you don't kill him. You state your intent and then wait for confirmation of the kill. This rule is slightly more lax with NPC but still use your common sense. If you really feel your character is being pushed around then please report it and I will mediate as best as possible.

• This is an elimination game, which means that your character will most likely die. We'll try to keep the killing to latter in the game but if it happens it's just the course of the game, you may start again with another character if you want to keep playing.

• The Holy Grail War and Magic is supossed to be kept a secret in the game world, which basically means that even thought you can kill civilians in plain daylight, destroy whole buildings while giggling and declare yourself Lord Mage and Master of all the patetic Muggles, all these acts will carry dire consequences. If you break the Masquerade you will make yourself enemy of all and a price will be put on your head. You have been warned. This doesn't mean that you can't be evil, you can commit as many attrocities as you can think of, the trick is to be discreet and make sure that nobody notices.

• You control your PC and I'll even allow you to control the actions of some little NPC's like your PC parents, service or whatever, but please don't abuse this.

• Last but not least, if you want to quit the game, please just say so instead of simply dissapearing into the night. We'll reach some agreement on what to do with your character, whever it is by the character's elimination from the War or let another person take on the role.

And finally, if you want to keep your character's stats and identity a secret so you can surprise the other players you can send me the his or her data as a PM. That way you can play your mistery character and it won't be an Asspull when you unleash your special abilities.

The Sing Ups are now officially open, I hope we can have a nice RPG, good luck everyone, may the best prevail.

• Age:
• Master Of: (put none for unaffiliated magus)

I sign up as Assassin...again.

This sounds good, can I be a caster?

You want to be Servant Caster?

Alright I'll hold it up while you create your character.

Sounds cool. I wouldn't mind joining, but I'm not sure what I'd play. Either a master or...I don't know, the Servant Rider. I'm probably not supposed to mention my Servant's true identity, even though I think they'd be pretty cool, right?

Either Servant Rider or Master of Rider, I'll PM more, I guess.

edited 30th Nov '09 1:39:30 PM by DrRockopolis

Aww, Church Overseer is already taken...can you hold the spot for Master of Lancer for me?

BTW, do you allow several characters? I'd like Elizabeth Jouvin to make an appearance.

Sure Lemurian, Master of Lancer is now officially taken.

And yes, I do allow multiple characters as long as you can handle them.

edited 30th Nov '09 3:08:52 PM by daltar

Sign me up possibly for Servant saber. I will be able to give you the stats in a few weeks, once this semester ends. I have my servant picked out already.

Rider - Napoleon Bonaparte?

• Grande Armee - Army of the First Empire
  • Effect: See Rider - Alexander's Reality Marble. Probably going to be fairly similar.

• Hundred Days - Last Great Hurrah
  • Named for the period of time spanning his return from his exile at Elba to his final defeat after the Battle of Waterloo.
  • Effect: This Noble Phantasm may be activated by the Master of Rider at any point after Servant Rider has been defeated. This Noble Phantasm returns Servant Rider to the field at full strength but only for the period of one day. This Noble Phantasm may not be activated more than once per Grail War.

Not that I'm saying I'm playing for sure. I just had an idea for a Noble Phantasm.

Goldurnit, all you tropers need to stop throwing up worthwhile ideas for time sinks.

Sign me up for Berserker's master, good sir. (Just don't ask me for details while I'm On A Boat for the next two days...)

Alright, no God Modding. Fine. But how will we resolve combat situations? If it ends up like the last game's "X attacks Y with no resolution", then I really don't see the point of the combat in the first place.

EDIT: Also, the Grammar Nazi in me is seeing "Singup". So, Holy Karaoke War?

edited 1st Dec '09 12:22:41 AM by catch_the_sun

Yes Catch The Sun it will be based on X attacks Y, as this is a freeform RPG, there is no other way to resolve combat situations.

That means that all players need to make a compromise in order for this to work. We have stats to know what your characters strenghts and weaknessess are, and it is up to the player to play those as best as he or she is able.

The whole basis of this sistem is trust and responsability. You need to accept some blows in order to be able to give out some of your own and accept when things are goig to hell. All players should try to win, yes, but that's not the most important part of this game. What matters the most is to make it as enjoyable as possible and have as much fun as you can while it lasts.

And about the name of the page, yeah now I see it, epic fail on my part. Oh well what can I do about it? Is there someone I can PM to fix it?

Name: Thomas Fournier
Age: 36
Description: Thomas is a tall and slim Frenchman who has been living and travelling in Britain for several years, studying magic history. Out of luck, he found himself in the area studying druidic rituals when the invitations started arriving and jumped at the chance of becoming the next master of the Holy Grail. He has short black hair and clear grey eyes. He dresses in functional clothing and he always wears the Fournier family symbol, a red lance, in a chain around his neck. He still has a faint French accent.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if it's going to give us pointless battles, then that fight really shouldn't have happened in the first place.

And, no. The typo gave me an idea. Let's see. Seven Managers summoning Seven Idols, competing for the coveted prize of the Holy Grammy, in a single-elimination tournament.

That could still work. And we could add in an Avenger, just because eight is more manageable in a tournament situation than seven. Also, it makes it easier for Servants to interact. And it eliminates meaningless battles. Thoughts?

8 battlers...Tournament style battles...is this an Arcade Machine?

Hey, took a sort of jokey premise and stretched it out a little. I still think there are problems that really do need to be fixed, especially since those sheets are placed in an out-of-the-way place and half the players last time didn't even make one. Oh, well.

I never said it was a bad Idea...

Well that sounds like a good idea for a parody, and a hilarious one at that.

'nother FSN? ...

A thought: Ever open to the idea of letting George S. Patton be a Servant?

Not sure of his class, though. Rider? Or maybe Berserker? (a bit edgy on this. Him wanting to attack the Soviet Union is the only lead I have.) Saber? (Patton Saber.)

edited 6th Dec '09 4:27:42 AM by catch_the_sun

He could probably fit into Rider or Saber, but Killersquid is already Saber, so I could pull off Rider Patton if daltar lets me.

Or maybe he could fit into Archer? Apparently, he was a pretty good shot.

Never mind. I really need to stop jumping the gun on this.

edited 6th Dec '09 4:47:49 AM by catch_the_sun

The thing is though I think according to Nasu's rules Servants can't be summoned if they have current modern technology (in this case, guns and tanks). Like if it was lasers time, gunslingers could be summoned, but not laser users.

But I'm not positive on that, and it's not like we really care.

Sorry gadeel but Dr Rockopolis already said he wanted to play as Rider. Still he still hasn't decided on whenever he will use his idea of Rider or if he should make a Master, so if in the end he prefers to make a Master then you can take the role of Rider.

Of course Catch The Sun also gave an idea for Rider, so he also has bigger claim should he want to take it in the end.

And since the Grail takes heroes from all ages including the future I don't see why we can't have Servants with guns. It wouldn't be my preference but still I'll allow it.

edited 6th Dec '09 11:32:42 AM by daltar

Apparently, it's more to do with their deeds and how a present-day person's deeds may no longer be perceived as unique, a requirement for being recognised as a Heroic Spirit in the first place.

So, I would guess that if the person can be presented as a unique and well-known enough being, then he/she could be included. Adolf Hitler comes to mind. Not to sure about Che Guevara.

'''from TYPE-MOON Wiki'''

It is almost impossible for someone of the present era to become a Heroic Spirit, for the great events of the past are now everyday occurrences. In an age when the destruction of the planet can be prevented all the time by simply preserving the Amazon forest from being plundered by industries, saving the world is not a big deal. Additionally, because modern armaments are widespread and gives instant power to anyone who wields them, it is hard for a hero who uses today’s firearms to be recognized as a unique being.
