Rawr-ness
This is a detailed roleplay focused around what happens after the Corrupted Greater War grants a wish after the last Holy Grail War. The planet earth as we know it has been put into ruin. Most of the population was wiped out as the corrupted essence of the grail flowed out consuming most of the world. Those who were killed were resurrected as shambling zombies seeking to kill anything that lives. The more unfortunate ones who survived were quickly driven mad and became ghouls, possessing greater agility and intellect posing a threat to any normal human being, with the most dangerous being the Magus Ghouls, capable of using twisted magecraft seeking only to kill those they encounter.
The Greater Grail seeks to exterminate the rest of mankind. Twisting the rules it has summoned 7 greater servants of its own in order to hunt down the survivors. In order to fight, the last group of Magus has come together creating a new lesser grail in hopes of summoning servants of their own to try and combat the Grail, seeking to find it and destroy it for good and give mankind a chance to rebuild itself in the ruined earth.
Quick Q and A
How will the RP work?
The Roleplay will focus upon the group of survivors and the servants summoned by them and their attempt to survive and retake the world from the grasp of the Greater Grail's Corruption. This roleplay is very much a co-operative roleplay rather then the typical Fate RP with the Alter servants being secondary characters (likely controlled by the Masters). It will focus on their efforts to destroy the Greater Grail and attempt to retake the world and give mankind a chance to try and flourish once more.
While it is meant to be a cooperative effort, I do very much like some drama and do like some group conflict. While it is an alliance made from desperation, there are likely to be some parties who will try to do things to try and secure influence for what happens after that might help create some clashes (and I highly encourage my fellow roleplays to help create this element in the background. ^^ )
What is the expected post length/rate of the RP?
Posts in the roleplay are expected to have reasonable grammar (I don't expect perfect... I am sure I goofed up a lot of stuff in this interest check I just want what is typed to be readable) and be roughly 3 Paragraphs in length. I don't need full book length responses though I like to see some effort put into place.
As for a posting rate, I am looking for players who have LONG TERM interest who are willing to post 2-3 times a week at minimum (more is always encouraged). If you aren't the type to show long term interest, do not join. Chances are you probably won't get in anyways as I'll be strict with the character sheets. I find people who put work into their CS and fleshing out their character tend to be more attached and much more likely to stay dedicated to a roleplay.
Can I claim a servant?
Currently, Servants are NOT open for grabs. This is right now meant to be just an interest check so any attempts to 'claim' a servant will be ignored and will likely mark you as being someone to be cautious about recruiting. I will announce when I'm taking claims for servants when its time for it and I'll likely throttle it (only allow for 4 Servants/4 Masters as an example for allowing for more). I am looking for consistent players rather then filling out a whole roster of servants.
Ambition into Destruction
For as long as mankind has existed, humans have worked to understand the world and the way it works. From the wheel up to the smart phones we now posses, we are always new knowledge in order benefit society as a whole. It is no different from the Magus kept tucked away under the common man's nose. While having their own motivations and goals, it is all ultimately in the pursuit of absolute knowledge. It is this very foundation that had lead to the creation of the Holy Grail.
The battle for the Holy Grail raged on for entries. Each time, 7 servants would be summoned from heroes of the past representing seven separate classes. The servants paired with their master who provided an anchor to the world, would battle it out until only one pair remained in which they had the chance to have a single wish granted that they desired.The grail is an object so revered, viewed to be some omnipotent source of power beyond what mankind could ever hope to achieve. It was during the 6th Holy Grail war that the grail had reached its pinnacle, taking the form of the Greater Grail. It was upon making the wish that the corrupted grail's mud spread through the world and engulfed the planet in darkness.
The black mud spread through the world. Those caught in it stood no chance. Those who were lucky died, only to be brought back as twisted zombie like abominations. The ones who survived were quickly mutated and took on hideous shapes and forms losing with it much of their sanity. Cities were quickly wiped out. Within an hour of the wish being granted, most of mankind was lost, few managing to avoid the ravages of the black mud rushing over the surface of the world like a tsunami. The device meant to bring the answers to all mankind had caused its very destruction.
Present Day
Five years have passed since mankind was pushed to the point of extinction. The world is in ruin as the dark creatures that were once man or beast wander aimlessly seeking to kill anything that moves. Mankind has found its way to survive by keeping hidden away. The Magi who had kept their presence hidden from the world no longer hide their abilities, forced to take any hands they can to maintain what shambles of society they could hope to rebuild. With the grail's wickedness consuming the world, their only hope of fixing it would be to find the grail and destroy it, wherever it may be. The grail however had other plans.
Using its own power, the Grail summoned 7 altered servants in order to fight on its own behalf, twisting the rules of the grail war to serve its purpose. The servants sole mission is to seek out the survivors and finally wipe out the last of humanity. The only way they could hope to combat this was to do something drastic... to create another lesser grail as a last ditch effort.
Now, mankind stands united with 7 servants of their own powered by their lesser grail in order to try and combat the 7 alter servants and to destroy the greater grail. Will they be able to do so, or is this the END for the world and humanity for good?
