The HOLY GRAIL WAR Meme

Seven Masters, magi of the present day. Seven Servants, heroes of days past.
One Holy Grail, granting whomever claims it a wish. Only one team of Master and Servant may claim it.
Who will it be?
For those unfamiliar with Fate/Stay Night or Fate/Zero, you can find a better explanation of the Holy Grail War here.


Instructions
1. Comment with your character. In the subject line, put that character's name, canon, and which role (Master, Servant, or either) you would like them to fulfill. Add other preferences if you would like. (NOTE: If your character can fill the role of Servant, I suggest you state which class(es) -- Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, or Berserker -- they fall into.)
2. Reply to others' comments. Pick your character's role (and the other character's if they list "Either" as their preference), then use the RNG to pick a scenario that fits the two characters' roles.
3. Enjoy! Though there might be triggers, depending on how the prompts are interpreted.


TWO MASTERS


1. Battle. Who says that Servants get to have all the fun? After all, most Masters try to kill each other, too. Whatever the circumstances, the two of you are locked in a fight. Neither of you are willing to use your Command Spells just yet, so no Servants here. Just two magi duking it out.

2. Alliance. There's a bigger threat out there. Either one Servant is exceptionally powerful, or the situation has changed and the participants need to take action aginst it. One way or another, you're teamed up with one of your rivals for the Holy Grail. How long will this last before you try to stab each other in the back? Or, will something more develop?

3. Protection. Uh-oh! One of you has lost your Servant! Unfortunately, there's no way you'd get to the church safely on your own, so the other one will help you get there! Or maybe you don't trust the priest presiding over the Holy Grail War and are giving shelter to them yourself? Given their track record, no one would blame you.

4. Death. One or both of you lay dying. It might have been by the other's hand, or by someone else's entirely. How will you spend your last moments in the presence of one of your rivals?

5. You, Too? Surprise! You may have been friends before, but you've just discovered that you're both Masters! How will you handle this revelation?

6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!


MASTER AND SERVANT


1. Are You My Master? The summoning is complete. Whether intentional or not, catalyst or not, a magus has summoned a Servant. What kind of meeting was it? Was everything totally under control, or did a hitch occur? Or maybe it happened in the middle of a life-or-death situation!

2. Identity. Either the Servant has flat out told the Master their identity, or they unleashed their Noble Phantasm. Either way, the cat is out of the bag. How will the Master react, now that they know their Servant's name and legend? Will anything change between the two?

3. Battle Aftermath. A battle has just ended. Who participated? Are either of you hurt? Did the Master have to use a Command Spell? Any number of things could have happened here.

4. Discord. Uh-oh. It looks like the Master and the Servant don't get along. Here come the arguments! Don't do something stupid, like waste a Command Spell over a triviality...

5. Love. And then, there's the opposite. Sometimes Masters and Servants fall in love with each other. How will this affect things?

6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!


TWO SERVANTS


1. Battle. This is what usually happens when two Servants meet -- they duke it out. This probably says enough as it is.

2. Alliance. There's a bigger threat out there. Either one Servant is exceptionally powerful, or the situation has changed and the participants need to take action aginst it. One way or another, you're teamed up with one of your rivals for the Holy Grail. How long will this last before you try to stab each other in the back? Or, will something more develop?

3. The Grail Dialogues. Maybe you're not interested in fighting just yet. Maybe you just want to sit down and talk with the other Servant. Find out what they want, what makes them tick. Get some wine while you're at it -- nothing like good wine to go with good talk!

4. Death. One or both of you lay dying...again. It might have been by the other's hand, or by someone else's entirely. How will you spend your last moments in this War in the presence of one of your rivals?

5. Identity. Congratulations, you've just learned each other's identities! Will this change the situation, or will you press onward?

6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!

[[This is the meme I've been waiting for, since the Master/Servant relationship actually has a bit in common with her canon. Details available on request, but in short, both Pyra and Mythra are orthodox Sabers in their own right (as if the swords weren't a clue), or Mythra could be one of those off-class Archers because of how she uses her weapons. While I'm happy to play one or the other, canonically they share a body and switch back and forth if you want to include that, and the also have a couple of other XC2-spoiler functions that could be interesting in a Grail War context.

As for prompts, I'm up for just about anything, although I tend to lean away from death prompts.]]

[Master! The basic premise of her fate/ AU is team magma are some organisation of dumbass mages who want to try and revive [god of your choice] for humanity's prosperity or...something!

Courtney has no actual stake in the religious aspect of her job but she is the best qualified master of the entire group, so they selected her to participate in the war and take the grail for their cause. She's agreeable to it solely because she's super loyal to her organisation's leader and acts like Nothing Else Matters and She Is Only A Tool To Be Used By Her Leader etc etc.

[Master! She's a supernatural detective who investigates cases rooted in the occult. She probably accidentally set off a summoning circle while lurking around the shady hideout of a person aiming to summon a servant.

...claims to be an everyday detective, somehow pumps out an enormous amount of magical energy. Just what is your master's secret?? who knows drink some coffee with her and stop asking questions

[Available as a Saber or an AU'd Master!

For saber prompt I am totally open to anything except romance options, but I'd really like to try playing out a scenario that goes like this.

- kills your servant early on
- has her own master killed later
- you both run into each other and form an awkward contract for survival

bonus points if the master offers, but I can work her into initiating it need be.

As for Master her AU is she's a human who was born to act as an eventual host for Altera/The white titan/whatever and her dad is probably part of some doomsday cult working towards its summoning through the use of the grail, so she was raised from birth to Prepare for this. This might not make a lot of sense but I haven't thought too hard about it so we're playin' fast and loose with this shit.
