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. (Note: The Holy Grail War in Fate/EXTRA functions in a dramatically different way, and one not followed for purposes of this meme.)

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!

[Servant, berserker]

[ A Servant. She is of the "fictional servant" variety, like Nursery Rhyme and Sherlock. Monika was inscribed in the Throne of Heroes by becoming associated with the concept of Sentient Video Game Characters & AIs in the far future. Because she is one of the exceedingly rare future Servant, exists entirely in the digital space and is fictional, there are no relics related to her. That means she's only summonable through either the Chaldea system, or by a Master who makes a mistake in the summoning process / doesn't use a relic.

She comes in three different flavor:

Caster: Her default form. Canon point is post-ending. Her skills revolves entirely around manipulating the enemy Servant's Saint Graphs the same way she would manipulate character file. That makes her absolutely useless against non-Servant characters but excellent against other Servants. In FGO terms, she's essentially a 4-stars.

Foreigner: Her alternate form. Canon point is immediately after her epiphany but before DDLC even began, though she's familiar with the rest of her story. Her skills are less broken than those of her Caster form, but she's actually useful against non-Servants. In FGO terms, she's essentially an event 4-stars freebie.

Moon Cancer (Alter): Canon point is Act 3, though she's familiar with the rest of her story. On top of behaving like her Act 3 self, all her negative traits are being amplified tenfold (extremely love-obsessed with her Master, no care for deleting other servants, suffers from extreme self-loathing). Also comes with a dashing silver hair dye and neat red contact lenses. Much more powerful than either of her other variants. In FGO terms, that makes her a limited 5-stars Servant.

In every cases, her wish is to be allowed to live in the real world. Not a second life, but just a life since she was never really alive to begin with. ]

( a reluctant master, but would care a lot for her servant. we don't have to involve smut if you don't want to. shipping and gen is fine. )

[ She is the Servant--but not a rather obedient one. While Bernkastel will try and 'act' out the part of the perfect Servant in order to manipulate her Master, as it is much more interesting that way. In terms of summoning her, it is considered a miracle to do so, as she cannot be summoned by utilizing any normal catalysts.

Bernkastel is a Caster with several abilities.

The first is that she can transform into a cat at will--doing so uses less prana from the Master, similarly to spirit form.

The second is that her weapon of choice is a scythe. With this, she can utilize the power of the red and blue truths to attack her opponent. In this particular case, given that it isn't a mystery, any information that she knows about her opponent can be weaponized against them.

The third is her Noble Phantasm: "The Creation of a Miracle". This Noble Phantasm can be used at a whim's notice, and only if she wills it. Basically, it's not something that can force her hand. But because she's a servant, it's something that can only be used once a day.

Bernkastel doesn't really have a wish on the grail, she is simply here to be entertained by this Holy Grail War and potentially rip the proverbial guts of the truth behind it if necessary. Also, because her Noble Phantasm is what it is, it is possible for characters to encounter her Master-less with no problems - something similar to Medea in Fate/stay night. ]

[ ooc: Servant Assassin or Avenger. OTA for gen, M/F for ship ]

[ master. the heir of a decently aged family of mages that specialize in what would be known as "possession" magecraft. in other words, they are capable of placing parts of their souls in inanimate objects (or animate beings, for short periods of time and if they can overwhelm the other's will). c-ta himself is a mage that has integrated himself into a normal lifestyle almost seamlessly, but should not be taken lightly...

although he might not have much motivation for this war in the first place. all he wants is for things to go back the way they were. ]

Edited 2021-07-22 12:42 (UTC)

[ as a master--she is a very well trained magus. she is part of a renowned family of mages with a strong mixed bloodline, as hinamizawa was the land of demons and men, mion herself is a magus that possesses demon blood.

meakashi-hen spoilers, but: at a very young age--the two girls did a swap and the current mion ended up being the one to inherit the family crest.

she is rather skilled in reinforcement magic and knows how to use martial arts and - to the surprise of a lot of magi, weaponry such as swords and guns. mion herself is pretty much an all arounder. in terms of the grail war, mion participates in it as her family's duty and doesn't really have a wish--all she simply wants to do is to win; the wish is not for herself, but for her sister, shion.

as a servant, she is a ruler--she does not have a wish for herself, after all. her noble phantasm deals with the unrelenting love and trust she has in her friends, and the power that comes from that. of course, her weapons are also considered as 'noble phantasms'. ]

[ a master or a caster-class servant. ]

[Either Master or Servant!

As a Master, she would be the runaway daughter of a magus family that was "blessed with the divine" which resulted in her being born with wings. Though she later rebelled and is working on usurping them, especially the patriarch aka her father. Might be a homunculus. Very bold and brash, and happily throws herself into battle alongside her Servant. She also doesn't have a wish, as she also aims to try destroying the Holy Grail...

As a Servant, she would be a Foreigner. Tainted half-angel turned god killer with her found family, and some stories might speak about how she eventually become the consort of a primordial god who shunned his duty... Highkey troll and menace, though will still do her best to protect her Master. Will not be a fan of the Church Overseers at all, and will just generally enable her Master in the worst ways.

More general info in journal!]

[Servant; Very powerful Ruler who holds a lot of power over Spring (and somehow some strong fire/sun magic too). Would be more inclined to do her own thing most of the time, but would assist her Master if she felt it would be beneficial. Very easygoing and confident - 'Persephone' isn't her true name but she will only address herself with that. Also a tease and doesn't seem as strong as she actually is.

Would also never call her Master 'Master', given name or nicknames only.

More general info can be found in her journal!]

[ Servant, Assassin. A serial killer whose mysterious methods were never confirmed by the police. His Noble Phantasm, "Pull of Yomi", summons a creature never fully seen except by those it pulls beneath the ground to attack, but should the target survive for a minute, they'll be spit back out and Adachi will be left vulnerable from the strain of summoning.

A lazy Servant who complains the whole way through, and if asked says he doesn't have a wish. Rack up enough Bond Points and that answer changes to "resting in peace, finally."

Bonus level, Foreigner. This would be Ameno-Sagiri using Adachi as a host, not Adachi himself. ]

[Caster. Open to canon, crosscanon, AUs, and scenario-based restrictions.]

Edited 2021-07-22 16:16 (UTC)

[Servant. An extremely loyal and idealistic Outlier Cybertronian with extraordinary hearings and telepathic powers. Got inscribed in the Thrones of Heroes after the deed he had done to save Earth, if you wanna go down this route. Comes in three class flavors to choose from.

Caster or foreigner, canon point is past this point or post-finale. This version of Soundwave is more empathetic and least violent, trying to make amend for all the bad shit he's done during the war.

Assassin, ~~robots in disguise~~ He's the Soundwave from during the civil war. So he's typically colder, calculating, quieter, and unconcerned with the lives of anyone who isn't a Cybertronian (sans maybe his master if ranked up his bond enough).

His skills involve debuffing and disrupting enemy Servant via telepathic-based powers. For Caster version specifically, can summon spirit animals to replace the Casseticons friends he always relied on. Prolonged use will strain him.

His wish is for a world where all Cybertronian can stand as equals. For either caster or foreigner version, this extends to all other species too, mechs and organics. Can come in regular human-sized robot or 30 ft tall giant robot.]

[Servant, Archer, or Caster. Or Master during the Heian period.]

Edited 2021-07-22 16:27 (UTC)

[Ok with both Servant or Master scenarios. If he's a Servant, I can have him as either a Caster or Ruler (AU). Premises based on LB spoiler speculations also doable.]

[ Master! Heir to a fairly unimpressive mage family that specializes in summoning familiars, along with voice-induced charms. ]

[Servant, Saber]

[As a Servant, is she a Caster? An Assassin? One claiming to be the other? A double summon? Who knows, she's just here to have a good time and impale your enemies. Regardless, should an urban legend from the 1980's be this powerful?]

[As a Master, expect a demanding and enthusiastic witch with Some Shit she needs the Grail to deal with.]

[Master with some minor clairvoyance. Alternatively: Servant Rider, or Saber, latter as a Pseudo-Servant]

Edited 2021-07-22 16:33 (UTC)

[Primarily a Master good with summoning familiars and creating bounded fields, or a Caster or Ruler Servant]

[Normally he's Ruler, but can be summoned as Caster, Archer, or Saber but it'd be fun to play Living Sherlock Holmes as a Master in the Victorian era]

[Ushiromiya Jessica has been through a lot today.

And staring the witch of the portrait, Kinzo's beloved Beatrice, in the eye as she steps out of some freaky magic circle really isn't helping to convince her that it isn't all a nightmare. Or maybe a hallucination brought on by blood loss.

Oh, yeah, blood loss, that's important. As Jessica falls flat on her ass, staring up at Beatrice with wide-eyed awe, she's clutching her profusely bleeding left shoulder. Something should probably be done about that.]

Haha... what... what the hell...

[It's something that had to be done - he didn't expect to use his Noble Phantasm this early, but their opponent forced their hand by the nature of the reality marble they were trapped in.

While no key appeared in their hand, they now know the means of shattering their prison, and one that flies in the face of conventional logic. Caster - no, Sherlock Holmes turns to the witch as the lenses folded back against him, tucking themselves out of the way]

Miss Beatrice? There is a way out, but you will have to trust me.

(OoC: Lancer Ruby taking care of her master?)

[ would most likely be a caster, but i'm down for exploring her as a master, merely due to the fact she'd be interested in gaining her wish. :') whichever wish that may be. ]
