A magus stood before a summoning circle, an object of great importance in a bag in the circle, kindly provided by their family. The words of their father echoing - bring victory to the family. Bring victory so that they can raise up and claim their lost glory from those in the Clocktower, to bring the true prestige that they deserve. However, the heir couldn't help, but feel like that is a misplaced wish. A desire, more than anything, forced upon them as the heir to the family who wondered if this is what they truly wish. However, they are bound to their family and so, the magus began the ritual.

"Let silver and steel be the essence. Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation. Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall. Let the four cardinal gates close. Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate. I hereby declare. Your shall serve under me. My fate shall be your sword. Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail. If you will submit to this will and this reason, then answer! An oath shall be sworn here! I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven, I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell! From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three greet words of power, Come Forth from the ring of restraint, Protect of the Holy Balance!"

With the final incantation spoken, the summoning circle turned to a bright crimson, blinding the magus before a loud and thunderous crack echo throughout the basement. A thick cloud of black smoke fills the room as the magus wondered if they have failed in the task of the summoning. But did they?

Greetings to you fair reader who has decided to click on this prompt. I have come upon here with a rather specific fandom that I don't see many people roleplay in - the Typemoon/Fate fandom. As such, I figure I stake my claim upon this and just give it a shot for a roleplay! Firstly, allow me to point this that I would like this roleplay to be both engaging and being longterm. In addition to us playing as our characters, I also like for us to be able to play as the different Masters and Servants that is spread throughout as a sort of GM on both parties.

With that said, I do want to point out that this is open to the different worlds set by Typemoon. As in, we can do a classic Holy Grail War with seven Masters and Servants for the ultimate prize. Maybe something like Fate/Apocrypha in terms of a massive team fight. Maybe something as weird as the Extra route. Maybe something completely different all together? I won't lie and that I do want to delve slightly into the darker story undertone that Fate is known for, but hopefully not stoop down to Sakura Matou level. Whatever that may be, I do like for us to discuss so that we can reach an agreement.

Now, onto our characters. I like for where I will play as the Master and you as the Servant. As this is going to be a big and expansive undertaking, I am open to whatever character that you like, within reason of course. If you are unsure about who to pick, there is the wiki to find one. Now, for me, I am open to playing either male or female Master, just let me know.

One last thing, while I am open to playing this on other platforms, if we're going to stick to Reddit, please use the PM than the chat system as the system has now decided to hide any sort of notifications. Additionally, so that I know that you have read through to the end of this prompt, please put the pass-phrase "Grail's Gate" somewhere within your message. Now, I believe that's everything I want to say for right now. Thanks to reading this and I hope to hear from you.
