I thought I would make this for a larger more cooperative setting. I do not want to restrict this to just seven people, and I really do not want to restrict the type of characters, namely Servants, that one can use. I want this to be a little more open ended.
I also feel like a GM playing as one of the participants can become biased to put it lightly.
This RP still depends on how many people join, but I hope we can all have fun together.
Setting:
Rather than being destroyed by Emiya Kiritsugu, the 726th Holy Grail crossed dimensions to a world not unlike our own. Here it combined with another of this world distorting it and the rules of this dimension to recreate the Holy Grail War. The Church sought this device to make sure none could abuse its powers, and like the previous grail of Fuyuki City, this grail of Halifax will do just the same. The first Holy Grail War of this dimension was going to happen.
The date is December 3rd 2012, the day before the start of the next Holy Grail War, in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The great families are moving to see the Great Disaster through. The descendents of the great seer Nostradamus, the powerful Shamans of the Mayan Civilization, and the messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. Many other powerful magus want this wish granting device. Many hope to be worthy of the Grail. With so much uncertainty going on this world has never seen before, everyone knows one thing, something will happen at War's end.

Here is a crude example of a profile. I want more detail than I have written here, but it doesn't have to be anything fancy. You can describe yourself in better detail in your opening posts and how you portray your character throughout the RP. Do PM it to me. I want to thread to be relatively clean.

Summary
Here will be a summary of what has happened. I will probably have it go day by day and highlight what I think are key things.
Notes:
-The three big families in this are the Nostradamus, a descendent of the Mayans, and a descendent of Jesus of Nazareth.
-I would like people to choose partners for their Servant and Master. PM a good friend. I would rather not have the same person play a Servant and Master. I think it would be more fun that way with Masters and Servants having different agendas and thought processes.
-I myself will play as the Moderator of the Holy Grail War.
-I would also like for everyone's first post to be what happened in the past. It should include the summoning of your servant and somehow ending in present time which will be December 3rd, 2012.
-When posting for a battle, be sure to read things over and put detail into it. I do not want for things to be interpreted multiple ways different from how the original poster intended. This way we can avoid retcons.
-If there is anything that needs clarification or anything you think that will make this better, feel free to let me know.
