-fate/intermittence SIGN-UP & OOC (M)

Random idea splurge go! I was recently enamored by the Fate/Stay Night universe, and really wanted to do an RP about it. And so... this! The works the RP is based off of aren't exactly new user friendly, but if you aren't familiar with the source material, I can try and help out. >.x The M rating is for all the violence and potential for blood and stuff btw.

Plot and Background Information

The Holy Grail War is a twisted competition forged 200 years ago by three great Magi families, with the rumored reward to whomever wins to have their wish granted, regardless of the consequence. While the most commonly known Holy Grail War is held in Fuyuki City in Japan, there are others held in other parts of the world with other objects that hold the same title of the Holy Grail.

The basic premise behind the War is simple, on paper. Seven magus summon seven "Servants" that act as warriors for the magus, who are then referred to as "Masters". The Servants are like familiars, but are much more powerful, and take on the forms of famous Heroic Spirits from throughout history. These Servants are split into seven classes, with the strongest being Saber, Lancer, and Archer. Aside from these three, which are regarded as the Three Knight classes, there are also Assassin, Caster, Berserker, and Rider. The point of the war is to have the Servants fight each other until only one remains. The Servant and Master that survive the entire war are granted the prize - a wish each. As a result, the two parties are essentially using one another to reach their own goal. Every Servant has a Noble Phantasm, a weapon or technique imbued with the intricacies of the Heroic Spirit that uses them.

Every Master possess three Command Spells, which take the form of a symbol on the body of the Master. By using a Command Spell on their Servant, a Master can force the hero to commit to any action, regardless of their will. It can even be used to perform the almost-impossible, provided the magus has the ability to use the associated magic in some capacity. Command Spells react when in the presence of another Master, so that is how they detect one another (likewise, Servants can detect one another, but not other Masters). A Command Spell is proof that one is a Master, but they are not required to be one. For example, a Master can use up the seals and still control the Servant if the Servant wills it; there is just no fail safe in the case the Servant turns for some reason.

The rules of this war are similar to those of the five Holy Grail Wars that have been held in Fuyuki City. The setting for this war is the city of Seaview - a European city nestled inside a cove that lays along the North Sea. It is overseen by the the Clock Tower, one of the three branches of the Mage's Association and supervised by a member of the Holy Church. Seaview is actually a city that was sponsored by Clock Tower to function as a location for the war. As a result, the abnormally large Church is based in the center of the city, which allows for the reaching towers of the building to see far and wide. The Church is also a safe haven for Masters that have lost their Servants, and have such forfeited the war.

Unfortunately I can't explain everything, so feel free to read the links I gave if you're confused or have questions.

tl;dr version for all those familiar with Fate/Stay Night:
- A Holy Grail War featured around a different Grail in the fictional, British city of Seaview
- Follows the same rules as the series
- I'll be drawing up a map of Seaview soon

Rules
- As I'm writing this, I realize the series is very term heavy. If you are applying without being familiar with the concepts, I'll correct you. It's not a big deal, it happens. However, I have included all of the links to the TYPE-MOON wiki to help explain things. Please read them if you're unsure.
- I'm going with the expectation that every participant plays a Master and a Servant. You don't necessarily have to put your Master and Servant with each other, but make sure you have an agreement with the other party if you're going to mix and match.
- Based on the nature of the Holy Grail War, one or both of your characters is likely going to die. It won't be until near the end of the RP, but keep that in mind when you apply.
- Don't make overpowered Servants, please. When fighting another Servant, try and be fair.
- Quality of posts is going to be key here.

I would like to reserve myself a spot as the master of the Rider (and the Rider him/herself, of course).

Tbh I don't know if I can handle another RP, but I'm just going to have to wing it, I love Fate/stay night!

Woh, it's a TYPE-MOON RP.

May I have a reservation for Saber and the Master of Saber?

I'm not against bending the system for something like that provided you have an explanation for it.

In fact, this war is a little different from the Fuyuki City one, so I can't see why it wouldn't be okay.

MASTER

Name: Syrene Rousseau

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Appearance: Syrene stands at six feet three inches, and is therefore a tall and slender woman. She is particularly proud of her hourglass figure, which she works hard to maintain. She has a very pale skin, so pale, in fact, that she seems to glow a blue color under moonlight. Her face is a chiseled oval, with high cheekbones and firm lips. Her eyes are heterochromatic; her left eye is a velvety red, while her right is a clear, shining blue. Her nose is small and pointed, and she has a small, barely visible mole on the right side of her chin. Syrene's hair is dark red in color with black roots and highlights, characteristic of the Rousseau line of magi. She wears it in a fancy updo; her bangs are slicked to the back to join together, held up by a black-and-red cylinder, and the hair that falls from the cylinder are braided into six locks that reaches down all the way to her knees. The locks are held together in place by what looks like six pieces of black rings.

Syrene's usual wardrobe consists of a two-piece dress. Covering her neck down to her elbows is a dark red cloak-like piece of velvet, strewn together at the bodice by golden lines that intersects each other in a criss-cross style. The hem of this piece is also lined with golden threads. Underneath that, she wears a dress of the same color that starts above her breasts and ends in a cascading style from left-to-right, rather like a staircase. On both arms she wears a dark red piece of silk, that gives off the image of trailing sleeves. They are held in place by two simple black bracelets. She also wears rings on both of her index fingers and little fingers.

History: (Keep in mind that to be able to summon a Servant, the Master needs some sort of Magus lineage - to be a Magus, you need a Magic Circuit)

Weapon:

SERVANT

Class: Rider

Heroic Spirit: Saladin

Appearance: Saladin stands at a height just barely above his master's, at six feet five inches. His build is neither muscular nor flimsy; his muscles are well-toned, of course, considering his status as one of the greatest commanders history ever knew, but surprisingly they're not anything special. His sword arms, however, have plenty of swing in them, and it would be a very big mistake to disregard this danger due to underestimation of his not-so-burly physique. Physically he looks quite young; most people would guess he is halfway into his twenties. His skin color is on the light side of olive. Saladin's face, by middle-eastern standards, is very smooth, with vague and undefined features. He has no visible cheekbones nor jawbones, and his oval face is completely clear of any scars or other abnormalities, which is strange for a man who have been in so many battles against strong foes. He has no bangs, and his short, slick hair only reaches down to the top of his neck, in a spiky cascade. Both his eye and hair colors are a deep, midnight blue, so dark that most people seeing it from afar would think that they're black. His nose is small, and it is neither pointed nor flat.

Saladin's clothes consists of an ornate Arabian-style garb, often called a shalwar kamiz, which is pure white in color. While the regular shalwar kamiz is just a plain piece of cloth that covers every part of the wearer's body neck-down except for the hands, the one Saladin wears looks more European influenced, a two-piece with twin square-shaped collars and a trailing twin-tailed back end. To cover his bottoms, Saladin wears a pair of revolutionary army style pants, ending just above his foot and continued by a pair of traditional skin sandals. Saladin also wears a turban above his head, locked in place with a blue jewel with a white feather pointing upwards coming out of it. In battle, he is hardly ever seen without his personal mount, a mechanized camel.

Slowly chipping away at my signup... slowly. I should be done by the end of the week at latest.
