Fate/FAKKU (Role-Play)

The shining light shone throughout the large and spacious room, the Holy Maiden appeared before the old man. Shocked, he asked in pure state of surprise, "A-A Servant?!".

"As I am the chosen administrator of the war, the grail has no use of you, begone."

"T-That is impossible! I am the judge of the upcoming Holy Grail war, not you!" they exchanged words for some time, the man screamed, the woman spoke subtly, and was taciturn. The old man soon fell to the ground; unconscious. Never to be the judge of a Holy Grail war again.

"If you don't follow the rules, or refuse to accept it; I have no choice but to use force. Now, all Masters wishing to enter the war, shall come to me. The war shall soon begin, the seven Masters shall summon seven Servants, and have bloody battles leading them to death, except for one Master and one Servant, who'll manage to survive till the end and shall be the winners of the War!"

The next minute, something popped up on FAKKU! It was a newly-made topic, all it said was "The War is starting," the author of the topic and the post was the Administrator and creator of the website himself, Jacob. He is also the Mayor of FAKKU City.

- This RP follows a system that basically is made from the Fate system, which contains World of Darkness (WoD) and the Unisystem. It has Primary Statistics, Derived Statistics, dice rollings, Skills, Qualities, Success Levels, and all of those things. You can get the Players' Guide here. Though the RP may not follow it word to word. You can say that we're borrowing most of the system from that book, though.

- The time is set on 2015, so the last War had taken place on 1955. The third Holy Grail War shall take place on this RP.

- Your character can be of any age, but if they are human; they'll usually fall under these two following categories: Meddling Kids, Meddling Adults (Age: 18+). If he or she is a half-demon, werewolf, vampire, and all of those Supernatural beings, then your character will fall under the Supernatural category. For more information about Meddling Kids, Meddling Adults and Supernaturals, look at the second post of this page.

- A dice is rolled for each players before anything even before the actual summoning. The decision about which Servant Character every players gets will be shown via PM to each of the Players. They will receive only the Servant's name, Age, Sex, Appearance, Background, Role-playing Notes and Wish. This is done so that the Players can create an appropriate Master character for the Servant Character.

- A Player starts first with posting his Master character (which is his main character) on the thread, he must not include anything other than: Name, Age, Sex, Nature, Demeanor, and Background, and Weapon (if any). All else should be kept secret from public, or else players will be able to predict, calculate outcomes and may avoid taking some decisions altogether and decrease the fun of the RP due to lessening the element of surprise. Curiosity can provide lots of fun!

- The same could be said for Servant characters, try to keep their informations a secret. And Players are not required to post any character sheet for their Servant characters. Full information of the Servant Character won't be sent via PM until the Player's Master character summons the Servant on the RP. Remember that when summoning the Servant, a dice will be rolled for the summoning's success rate, regardless of how great or how perfect the Magus/Magi are known to be, the summoning may not be perfect depending on the success level.

- Stats and full informations about the Servant character won't be shown before the summoning because, success rates will alter the stats. Hence why the players have to summon their Servants first before we can even put their Primary Statistics and all that down, which wouldn't take much time to do once the actual summoning is done on the RP.

- There will be a Day Phase: A day phase is usually the time when a Player's character will go to school, or work, etc. It is when they do their usual and social activities, a good time to role-play for luck, sometimes.

- What comes next after the Day phase is the Afternoon phase: Usually a time of preparation for battle, or just lazing around or doing whatever activities.

- Last comes the Night phase: Where battles will usually take place, as Master or Servant Characters may go out at night for hunting their preys.

- The GM or Co-GM will announce when a phase starts and ends.

- A Player is completely free as to what they'll have their characters do on each phases.

- There will be side-quests, which will be offered to Players most likely by the Co-GM, it is possible to be rewarded for completing side-quests.

- It is possible for Master characters to summon a new Servant Character after losing their current Servant character. They'll instantly gain the profile of the Servant Character via PM after the successful summoning and when the success levels and statistics are applied.

- There are 18 Servants on the rooster. One of them are randomly given Players when required.

- The classes of Servants that are available are as follows: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Berserker, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Saver, Avenger, Ruler, and temptress. There are two Servants per class on the first seven classes, and one Servants for the others.

Now, the RP uses the Fate system, which contains World of Darkness (WoD) and the Unisystem, but this doesn't necessarily mean that we'll follow it word to word:


[size=15]Primary Statistics:[/h]

- Primary Statistics goes like this: Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), Constitution (CON), Intelligence (INT), Perception (PER), Willpower (WILL). Primary Statistics are spent on a 1:1 ratio until it's level five (5). After that, additional levels costs 2 points.

Miles x 1.5 = km
Meters = Yards
Pounds x 0.5 = kg
Total Inches/0.40 = Centimeter
1 ton = 2000 lbs

STR: It stands for you how much weight a character can lift with each points. People with a few points with this particular stats are usually athletes, manual laborers and even soldiers. We can determine how much a character can lift by this formula:

STR 1-5: 25kg x STR
STR 6-10: (STR-5) x 100 + 125 kg
STR 11-15: (STR-10) x 250 + 750 kg
STR 16-20: (STR-15) x 500 + 2500 kg
STR 21-25: (STR-20) x 1000 + 5000 kg
STR 26-30: (STR-25) x 2000 + 10000 kg


DEX: is for coordination, agility and gracefulness, and well, in a basic sense; speed. This includes dodging and sidestepping, of course. Precision and fine controlling of a vehicle makes use of this stat, too. DEX also helps to have the attacks connect. STR adds more effects to hand-to-hand combats. You can also learn how many attacks and defensive actions (or evasive actions, like dodging and parrying) you get in a round in the following table:
(Each successful attack or defensive actions are resulted in a cumulative penalty -2. Thus the third attack in a round would be at -4, etc)

DEX 1 - 4: 1 attack and 1 defensive action
DEX 5 - 6: 2 attacks and 2 defensive actions
DEX 7 - 8: 3 attacks and 3 defensive actions
DEX 9 - 10: 4 attacks and 4 defensive actions
DEX 11 - 12: 5 attacks and 5 defensive actions

Basically, after plus two (+2), plus one (+1) additional attack and defensive action.

If a character is under attack from more than one source, and the character has only one defensive action; then the attack connects if the attacker's skill test roll results with 9 or higher.

CON: shows how healthy your character is and how well he can shrug off diseases, illnesses, damages, fatigue, etc.


INT: is the ability to analyze and use the knowledge gained from the character's education which is identified through the skill-pool. We can figure out the IQ of a character by using this formula:

(INT -1) x 15 + 100

Thus, a one (1) point of INT that a character has means that the character has an IQ of 100, for three (3) points of INT, it'd be 130, and a point of six (6) INT would result in 175 points.


PER: This is the ability to notice sneaky activities, spies and basically notice things. Detectives and Psychics have decent PER. It may work for levels of intuition too.


WILL: This is meant for resisting magic, psionics, casting magic, dealing with temptation, dealing with sources of psychic stress, etc. It is also the stat meant to be used for dominating or controlling other characters with magic and psionics.


[size=15]Character Categories:[/h]


There are four character categories, they are as follows:

[size=14]Meddling Kids:[/h] Players are allowed to pick this category while creating a character and NPCs

Points for character's creation of statistics:

- 15 Primary Statistics points

- 10 Quality points

- 25 Skill points

- 10 Drawback points

Meddling Kids are the teenage protagonists you find on most anime series. I could have one or two of them be really powerful characters like a sneaky GM secretly for adding more spice to the story, but I have no such plans like that as of now and I doubt that I'll do it soon. Meddling Kids are the default character types for young humans. for older (age: 18+) characters, you can play Meddling Adults, if you do, just add ten more points to the skill points.

[size=14]Supernaturals:[/h] Players are allowed to pick this category while creating their main characters, but not for NPCs. They need to take permission first (because I don't want too many of these on an RP by other players, yet).

Points for character's creation of statistics:

- 25 Primary Statistics points

- 30 Quality points

- 20 Skill points

- 10 Drawback points

If you want to play a vampire, half-demon, werewolf, or any type of a supernatural monster; pick this category.

[size=14]EX Supernaturals:[/h] A player is not allowed to play as an Ex supernaturals. Perhaps through permission... or we'll most likely see these characters as NPCs.

Points for character's creation of statistics:

- 30 Primary Statistics points

- 35 Quality points

- 25 Skill points

- 15 Drawback points

Ex Supernaturals are those have been monsters for quite some time and knows whats what. An average Dead Apostle would fit in here.

[size=14]Epic Heroes:[/h] Players already have such characters, the are not allowed to pick this category when making a new character for whatever reasons.

Points for character's creation of statistics:

- 40 Primary Statistics points

- 40 Quality points

- 50 Skill points

- 15 Drawback points

(Note: Success rate can still alter this.)

Epic Heroes often have high and nigh-divine powers. The Epic Heroes are the Servants. These beings have done deeds enough to inspire myths and legends. Some are them are demigods, even. They should not be taken lightly.


[size=15]Nature and Demeanor:[/h]


- On this RP, we have what's called "Nature" and "Demeanor" for each and every characters.

Nature stands for the inner-self, the hidden side and hence how a character is deep inside. While Demeanor on the other hand, stands for the character's normal behaviors towards a stranger or people who are not exactly close to them. You'll be allowed to make them for your character on your own, but you can use some of the ones that are listed on the next spoiler on this post, which are especially present to serve as examples, they are all the natures and demeanors are applied on the servants, though taken from the book. No characters are exceptions from these two things.


[size=15]Derived Statistics:[/h]

Derived Statistics are important for many types of situations and governs even a character's Life Points, Mana, Fear Save, etc. They can be brought up through buying up Perks (also known as Qualities) with Quality points a Player gains with the category the Player picks for his or her character sometimes. But they are mostly derived from the Primary Statistics of the character.

- Action: How many actions a character can make per turn. Can be derived from DEX.

- Initiative: Alertness (a skill) + DEX + Level of Combat Reflexes (these are perks; soldiers and other profession battle types have these.)

- Movement: Represents the amount of squares a Player's character can move in a round. It must be done at the start of the turn and while it is an action that doesn't require any type of skill test (dice rolls), additional attacks and defensive actions causes a minus two (-2) of points for that round. You can determine how much a Player's character can move by multiplying the points of a Player's character by three (3). Thus, a character with a Movement point of ten (10) can run 30 miles her hour. But for ever 10 mph above, the pursuer or whatever may be chased accrues one automatic in the contested skill test.

- Life Points: Self-explanatory, once a character runs out of them, hey die. Unless Luck is used for avoiding the killing strike altogether.

- Mana: They are the total magic points for a Player's character (or any character who can cast magic). It must be spent to cast spells and magics. For spirit lifeforms such as Epic Spirits; this stat is vital. If an Epic Spirit's mana statistic is reduced to zero (0); it's existence will be banished and will go back to the Throne of Heroes and summoning it back is nearly impossible. The mana spent to power up a particular spell is equivalent to the spell's power level x3.

- Fear Save: Seeing a monster's true shape, witnessing the decaying of a zombie's body or watching a monster feast on a victim's body or seeing a ghostly illusion or coming face to face with a vampire's game-face normally calls for this statistic. Usually, when a character is confronted with something really scary, 1 or more success rate roll prevents the character from going insane and press on. A penalty or two may be applied here in order to determine how the character deals with the frightening situation. More presence of gore such as a Den of Evil can add more penalties to the Fear test rolls.

The statistic that influences fate itself; Luck: This is one of most important things on the game, it is a way to allow destiny to side with a Player's character. One can spend luck points to come back from the dead (if a Player's character has enough Luck points for that, of course). Luck has two types:

Characteristic Luck: This is the max Luck point a Player character (or any character) starts out with.

Functional Luck: This can be bought up by a character by spending levels in Extra Lucky. Which recovers after a set period of time (the period of time is yet to be disclosed). They are basically an extra form of Luck points for the players to use.


[size=15]Skills and Specializations:[/h]

- Skills: They represent the training a character had for performing various tasks. Sometimes, a single quick skill test isn't enough to determine what happens in a situation, hence requiring extended tests. Extended tests are divided over a period of time and have phases. At the end of each phases, dices will be rolled with Statistic + Skill for the player in order to accrue successes. At the end of the last phase, the GM or the Co-GM (mostly the Co-GM, I doubt I will most of the time) determines whether the task is accomplished by the Player's character or not by looking over the results of the rolls on each phases.

Sometimes, a test is not just about resisting (like Brawl [punching] VS. Dodge for example) due to the complexities of the actions and how long they take to complete. These are called Extended tests and Resisted tests. On these situations, there will be dice rolls for both the Players on each phases until the final phases and accrue points for both. The Player for whom the roll hits the highest success (or the first to gain a number of predetermined successes) will be announced to be the winner.

Skills can be specialized by adding extra points to them during character creation. Whenever a dice is rolled for the Player which involves the use of a particular skills with levels of Specialization, +2 points will be added to the roll. The only way to improve the Specialization points of a Skill is to buy more Specialization levels on the particular skill. It can be done in a total of four (4) times. Six (6) points for second, eight (8) points for third, and ten (10) points for fourth.

Certain Skills such as Arts and crafts, Wildcard and Science forces a Player to take specialization levels, though.

There is a list of all the Skills by NeoStriker in the third post of this page.


[size=15]Perks and Flaws(also known as Qualities and Drawbacks):[/h]

Perks grants some kind of a benefit to a character. They can be taken through spending Quality points. When a Player picks Flaws for his or her character during character creation, his or her character will gain Quality points according to the amount of points the Flaw can grant.

There is a list of Perks and Flaws in the third post of this page, by NeoStriker.

All players must PM their character profile to both NeoStriker and I.

Here's a vacant character profile template the Players should use:

Name: (Self-explanatory.)
Type: (Put down one of the categories from the spoiler above.)
Nature: (If you make a nature on your own, be sure to write it in full details. If it's from the book, just write it's name.)
Demeanor: (If you happen to make a demeanor of your own, write it in full details. If it's from the book, just write it's name.)

Primary Statistics: (Remember that Meddling kids (or adults) can't go above six 6 on any of the stats)

Strength (STR):
Dexterity (DEX):
Constitution (CON):
Intelligence (INT):
Perception (PER):
Willpower (WILL):


Derived Statistics: (There are formulas for finding these out, which are written under each.)

Action: Look at the informations about DEX on the above spoiler. 1-4 DEX would be 1 action for instance.
Luck: INT + PER + WILL/5.3
Initiative: Alertness (a skill) + DEX + Level of Combat Reflexes (these are perks; soldiers and other profession battle types have these.)
Movement: [(DEX + CON)/ 3 ]+ 4
Life Points: (STR + CON -2) x 4 + 18
Mana: PER + WILL x 3.5
Fear Save: WILL x 2 + Any levels of Conviction (Quality)

Skills: (Skills are basically the training a character had to perform particular tasks)

Perks: (List all the Perks you pick for your character.)

Flaws: (List all the Flaws you pick for your character.)

(Note: Remember to somehow explain *how* your character possess all of these skills, perks, flaws, or even Primary statistics, etc. Or else things won't make sense.)
