Fate/Yet Another Grail War RPing Idea

[Soldat der Trauer]

Actually, did the Process of the Grail Getting Corrupted like in the "Canon" 3rd Heaven's Feel happen? Or was there no Avenger Fiasco?
I'm asking about that because if Avenger hasn't corrupted the Grail, then we cannot have the likes of Medea or Medusa (Anti-Heroes and the like).

Probably still did; Avenger was the 1st of the 3rd War Servants killed in canon.

by "you're full up on masters" do you mean seven peeps have already sent sheets in?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Well, I'd assume that the first seven people would be sending in Master sheets, which would fill it up. Make sense?

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Yeah, makes sense

getting on that sheet then

And a couple of servant sheets

EDIT: Dumb question, but Origin as in the nasuverse term or origin as in origin story?

I agree with randomizing which Master gets which Servant, but I don't know if I agree with randomizing what Servant we play. It's difficult to play someone else's character when we don't really know how to play them or who they really are. It'd limit us to playing canon Servants, which limits the pool a fair bit.

Yeah, I'd rather not RP someone else's character, honestly. It may well end up being someone I just can't play.

Well there's a problem with someone else playing a character you made, especially if they're based on a Historical figure.

Say if I made a character based on Robert the Bruce, a bad assed Saber.  Now I use Robert the Bruce because I fangirl Scotland.  However let's say that NACHOS draws him and gives zero shits about how awesome Scotland and that period of history is.  There would be a serious disconnect between the player and the character.

Hmm time to bunker down and make a Master, I will admit I've always been better at making Servant's but I'll try my best.

Yeah, I can easily see situations where the player's interpretation of the character (especially a historical figure) will differ from the person who created them, causing them to at best bend what the sheet says and at worse outright break it. For example, I am not overly fond of Robert the Bruce, but would be rather more supportive of William Wallace, because Wallace was a genuine rebel who died (painfully) for his cause whereas Bruce was a somewhat-opportunistic nationalist who used his position to gain power. But, if I drew someone like William Wallace I would emphasise the whole "rebelling against authority" part and de-emphasise the nationalist part, because I consider nationalism to be idiotic but rebellion against oppressive authority to be a very positive thing.

Well I wouldn't say the Servant selection has to be entirely random. Also for the issues mentioned, it's better if anyone playing a Servant has more than one character in mind that they'd like or be alright writing.

>start writing backstory for my character
>End up writing an abridged family history from the first magus downwards to explain how their family works/why they're in murrica/why the character is how he is (it's genetic)/how their crest is filled incrementally across generations/so on

You. I like you. Follow this mans example.

@Mags: Oi. So can people pair up as Masters, or are we restricted to doing vanilla single human?

ALSO, what are the bloody power levels for the Masters? B/c it seems tempting for someone to say they're gonna make a "vanilla" magus, and then they make a guy who's extended their lifespan a few decades, knows a bunch of martial arts styles (when they're European aristocracy!), comes from a lineage w/ oodles of old money, and uses magecraft that basically makes them Shang Tsun(g).

So, what do?

Also also, how does the Master sheet change if someone wanted to make a PC who doesn't have magic circuits?

OK

First off, I'd veto that sort of sheet like crazy, rewrite it, send it back, and tell them what a shameful display they have performed, and act like a disapproving asian father. Put short, while you can go nuts, go nuts within reason. Consider Kayneth as a powerlevel limit.

For the second bit, all stats at F. Your servant is also going to get really nerfed.

EDIT:

For that matter you can't supply your servant. You'll have to find other methods to supply them with power.

Thank you, wanted to know the limits. Still haven't addressed the double-Master question, though.

So in short, no Atlas magi allowed? Really?

LEWD.
