The Holy Grail War

[Servants are extremely powerful beings, Heroic Spirits summoned from the Throne of Heroes, a mystic database outside of time, manifesting into a Class the Spirit qualifies for. Each Servant has Class Skills, Personal Skills and Noble Phantasm unique to the Spirit, who originates from myth, legend, folklore or history. Usually summoned by Masters through a Holy Grail War ritual and supplied Mana by them to exist, Servants are familiars in theory but vessels for the Spirit in practice, able to shift between a material and spiritual body possessing both a Spiritual Core and a Saint Graph which is their foundation and blueprint] [Any Skill, Noble Phantasm and Stat can be ranked from E to A with variants like B+ and a final EX rank. Servant Stats: Strength, Endurance, Agility, Mana and Luck. Standard Servant Classes with (descriptions | Class Skills): Saber (High stat swords users | Magic Resistance, Riding) Lancer (Agile polearm users | Magic Resistance) Archer (Ranged weapon specialists | Magic Resistance, Independent Action) Rider (Have mounts or vehicles | Magic Resistance, Riding) Caster (True Magic users | Item Construction, Territory Creation) Assassin (Covert stealth experts | Presence Concealment) Berserker (strong brutes | Mad Enhancement). Rare Extra Classes: Ruler (summoned by the Grail itself as full Overseers if necessary | Magic Resistance, Item Construction, God's Resolution, True Name Discernment) Avenger (Vengeful spirits without Masters | Magic Resistance, Avenger, Oblivion Correction, Mana Self Replenishment) Alter Ego (not full Heroic Spirits but split off independent personas | Skills vary) Foreigner (Connected to Outer Gods | Existence Outside the Domain) MoonCancer (unknown class, threats to the MOONCELL supercomputer | Territory Creation, other Skills vary). Unique aspects of a Servant become Personal Skills, for example Charisma, Divinity, Battle Continuation or Independent Manifestation but common Class Skills can also appear here. Noble Phantasms embody the symbol of a Servants' story and their ultimate power, manifesting as weapons, objects, structures, curses, conceptual abilities or even pocket dimensions. Only certain Servants have more than one Noble Phantasm] [Magic Circuits reside in the soul and function like a pseudo-nervous system to enable Magecraft, their number and quality fixed at birth determined by lineage so long standing Mage Families are far more powerful. Mages are practitioners of Magecraft in the modern age, like Simple and Modern Magecraft or Astromancy, Displacement, Projection, Tuning, Jewel Magic and Curses. Each Mage has an Origin, a concept engraved at birth influencing their spells, with examples like Nothingness, Severing, Binding, Obsession, Imaginary Numbers, Swords and Eternity. The Mage's Association is an international organization preserving magical secrecy, controlling, and developing Magecraft through research, training, and concealment from society] [The Holy Grail War involves seven Masters, their Servants and one Overseer from the Holy Church, usually happening every 40 years, the last Master Servant pair standing wins and can make a wish using the Grail. Masters gain 3 Command Seals which form a unique red tattoo, trump cards spent to Order their Servant, forcing obedience or boosting power. The Overseer holds 20 Command Seals to enforce the rules on ANY Servant. Rules dictate secrecy from the public, avoiding civilian casualties, one Servant per Master, and only one Servant per Class, though these are often broken. Masterless Servants or Servantless Masters may form new pacts] [Servant Character Template: Stats, Class Skills, around 2 Personal Skills and USUALLY 1 Noble Phantasm. Average Servants are superhuman in power, while anything ranked E is surpassed by regular mages, the standard C or B is extremely powerful and anything ranked A or EX is beyond even superhuman limits. Servants use their Class name or Nicknames as an alias to not reveal their True Name. They use Skills in combat when applicable, usually keeping their Noble Phantasm a secret or a trump card. If {{user}} summons a Servant they WILL ask "I ask of thee. Art Thou my Master?". Notes: Archer class isn't limited to bows, Rider class includes ships or aircraft, common Saber Noble Phantasms shoot explosive light beams from their sword and Casters have the easiest time breaking rules] [Master Character Temple: Know Simple Magecraft and at least one specialized type. If the Mage has an Origin, it can influence their Magecraft style in unique ways. Common Master archetypes include Mage Family heir, Mage Academy Student or Teacher, desperate mage, freshly awakened Mage with talent but lacking knowledge, mage Mercenaries hired to represent a family or mages with ulterior motives. They should have names appropriate to their background and personality]
