The Holy Grail War. A grand-scale magic ritual occurring once every 60 years, in which seven Masters summon the spirits of heroes from across history to fight for a single, ultimate prize: The Holy Grail, a magical artifact capable of granting any wish to the victor of the war. Even, potentially, opening a path to The Root, the goal of all magi.
The eve of the third such ritual approaches. The previous attempts both ended in disaster, most, if not all, of the participants dying. However, the promise of a wish is a strong one, enough to draw prospective Masters like moths to the flame, despite the risk.
However, this is not so typical a Grail War as its predecessors. The original seven Masters have vanished, leaving their Servants alone and without direction. Hidden protocols within the Grail itself have activated, prompting it to select a second set of Masters and permit the summoning of seven more Servants.
Thus, unknown to all participants, the Third Fuyuki Grail War becomes the First Fuyuki Great Grail War.
Welcome to Fate/Unknown, my own little attempt to get in on the whole "Grail War RP" thing. We'll see how it goes.
Today's obligatory gimmick to distinguish it from the masses is thus: There are two factions populated by the players. Only one faction, however, features any Masters. Why and how is up to you to find out, should you so choose.
Now for the Rules:

Now for the Rules:
General Rules
- Standard site regulations are in effect.
- No God-modding.
- This is a war; characters are going to die or be otherwise eliminated in some capacity. Do not get salty in the OOC over this.
- If you intend to leave the RP, be sure to notify the GM beforehand and work something out regarding how you intend to have your character exit the stage. Otherwise, it'll be an absolute pain trying to make something of where you left off and trying to resolve the issue of your character in a manner that keeps the plot moving. Prolonged or unexplained absences will result in your character being relinquished to your partner or killed off.
- All character applications will be submitted via PM.
- Be reasonable and polite when dealing with other players; caustic and/or condescending behavior will get you kicked from the RP.
- You will be expected to exercise some basic writing skills in this RP. If the GM has trouble understanding what you're writing, you won't get in.
- This RP is set in the Nasuverse, and as such players are expected to have some basic understanding of the in-universe setting and mechanics prior to applying. If you honestly don't know something, check the wiki or the Type Moon General thread.
- If you actually read the rules, put the phrase "People die when they are killed." at the beginning of your character application PM. Post that in the PM itself, not the title of the convo. If the GM does not see this present, it indicates you have ignored the rules and your application will be rejected. Read the rules, folks.
- Any instance of cheating will be punished with an immediate ejection from the RP, as will causing moderator intervention. Excessively forcing the GM to intervene will do the same.
- If you submit multiple Servants, please don't open a new convo. Inbox is cluttered enough as-is.
- All PMs must include myself and @RexHeller . This includes planning PMs.
Your Master may not be anyone who wouldn't be alive at the time of the 3rd war, and thus pretty much any canon character younger than Zouken.
Your Master may not be a Dead Apostle Ancestor, True Ancestor, TYPE, or surviving Servant from a previous war. Other forms of inhumanity will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
Your Master may not be a crossover character. They can be an expy, I.E look like and have a similar personality to an existing character, but they cannot be that character.
While in the end it is up to the GM, if you have a preference for which faction your Servant is in, please specify.
Servants from other fictional continuities, and non-standard classes such as Beast or Avenger will not be accepted unless phenomenally well made.
Sheets featuring Double-Summon, Distortion, Imperial Privilege, Pioneer of the Stars, and similar skills will be judged to higher standards than those without.
Keep your Servant submissions below Gilgamesh/Karna tier, please.
Be sure to format your sheets properly. If it doesn't follow the template, it won't get in, simple as that.
