Fate/ Of Thrones

Legends of old speak of a time when darkness marched forth from the north to meet mankind and bring about ruin, destroying all it touched with hands of ice and souls of ruin. The dead danced madly and brought about such death that the world would have flooded in the blood of those slain had it not frozen under the touch of their masters. The final battle for the dawn saw the deaths of many brave souls and defeat was certain for a race that had only known what it felt like to be at one anothers throats. It was only during the darkest hour of man that the greatest heroes of the age came together and weaved a magic strong enough to defeat their old foes.

They called out into the dark for the greatest souls of every era to come and aid them, summoning the souls of great knights and mighty magicians to take up arms once more and fight back the tide of death.

These forces from throughout time cut through the Eternal Night and sealed the power of darkness, and furthermore they answered the sincere wish of their summoners, to revive the world so utterly destroyed by the dark. When the deed was done the spirits could no longer return to the place they had charged out of, so they took residence in an object that could contain them, an iron throne crafted from the blades of many others, and in doing so it became a paradise for the fallen souls of heroes.

But the seal on the dark had to be managed carefully, for the power of the seal took a great deal of strength from the throne but still left a great deal of magical energy left over, enough that any wish could be granted to the one who took its seat. In order to prevent warfare over the use of this wish a deal was struck between seven great families to see that their would be no great wars fought. Each time the seal had to be fixed the seven families would provide the throne with a champion, and in return the throne would provide that champion with whichever hero from within they called out for.

With the Champions and Heroes summoned the Throne would put on a month of 'games' in order for the Champions to prove their valor, might, and wits. The Champion who proved themselves to the Throne would take the seat and command its power for both the sealing ritual and would be granted a desire of their choice so long as it wouldn't bring calamity or break the seal that protected the world from Night.

Years have passed now, and magic has seen a grand resurgence, being used for everything from communication to travel and even warfare. The Games that the Throne puts on are seen as an important part of the world, and having a city chosen by the Throne is a great honor even with the horrid destruction the games will sometimes bring.

And now the time has come once more for the seal to be fixed, after fifty years the Throne has announced that the grand city Kings Landing, a sprawling metropolis of large buildings and a central hub of trade throughout the world. Those appointed as the closest heirs to the seven families have announced their champions and now the world waits with baited breath as to which Heroic Spirits will be summoned forth by the Champions.

So, shall we play a Game of Thrones?

__________________________________________________________________

So this is a crossover RP for Game of Thrones and Fate/stay Night. You will take the role of a Champion who has been blessed by the Throne with a Heroic Spirit from times long passed. Odds are that your character is a mage of some standing, as the power that is drawn by the Spirit in order to do battle is drawn from the inner magic within people, and failing that is drawn from their very life force. To win the Throne means also to have a wish granted, wherever that wish is a selfish desire or is something for the world at large is a choice for the victor.

However the rules are different then days of old, while Heroic spirits will no doubt wage battle against each other at times defeating a fellow Spirit is much less important then the trials of the Throne, which can be anything from battling an army of summoned creatures to finding and rescuing a maiden from a horrid fate before any of the fellow heroes. Each time the throne calls the game is a bit different, but the best path to victory is by winning the games.

Now for some background info. The families that are closest in bloodline to those of old are diluted and changed to the point where the Throne now chooses who is most worthy of picking the Champions, and the current Seven are:

• Seth Velic- Current CEO of White Frost inc, the leading provider in magitech vehicles in Westeros. Designated as closest of House Stark

• Mellin Salor- A high ranking member of nobility who has lived off of her parents money. Designated as closest of House Lannister

• Kali Storvim- Military officer known for a kind heart but merciless temper. Designated as closest of House Baratheon.

• Abraham Targaryen- One of the last of a long bloodline who has used his family name and fortune to found various charities and advocate for peace in various times of unrest. Designated as closest of House Targaryen.

• Mary Stolinhold- A crime lord current imprisoned under a life sentence for various crimes. Designated closest of House Greyjoy.

• Velmire Stockholm- A high profile lawyer who is nearly undefeated in court, and works only for those he believes are innocent. Designated closest of House Arryn.

• Kine Sumar- A famous popstar whose songs are known worldwide. Designated closest of House Tyrell

Their choices for champions can be wide and varied, however they will look for mages or otherwise who are close to them in ideal. Afterward they will provide the mage with an offering for the Throne to draw out the hero they most wish to summon, as otherwise the will of those spirits within the Throne might trump the Champion's wish. Some will want heroes from their families summoned in order to show a connection with their history, but some others can be convinced the best champion might be from outside and allow for such a summoning to take place.

Character Sheet -Your character

• Name

• Age

• Fighting Style- (If magic is their primary source of defense state what they specialize in with the knowledge that the power they use will be drawn away from their Heroic Spirit.)

• Background-

• Their Wish-

• Appearance-

• Name of Heroic Spirit Summoned-

• Class of Heroic Spirit- (A spirit is summoned into a suitable class to fit into their heroic mold. This will also decide what their Noble Phantasm will manifest as. The base classes in the Fate series are Saber- (uses swords), Lancer- (spear), Archer- (ranged weapons), Caster- (Magic user in life), Rider- (famous for fighting on horseback), Assassin- (famous for being sneaky), and Berserker- (Famous for being rage monsters). Of course a characters class might go under something different, which is fine)

• Noble Phantasm- (It is important to remember that the spirit draws power from the Champion, so if its Phantasm is too powerful it might be a single use per battle thing. Summoning a dragon or bringing forth an army to aid you might sound good, but if that trump card should fail you will be without protection.)

So, thoughts?

One question. Are the Servants those from Fate/ canon, from A Song of Ice and Fire canon, or both?

The Game of Thrones cannon, as it would make no sense to have heroes from Earth on a world totally different from our own. But you can pull them from throughout the history of the world, not just the t.v. show or books. Brandon the Builder or others from the heroic age can be summoned just as easily as John Snow.

Well, be sure to have all Targaryen riders nerfed.

• Name:
• Age:
• Fighting Style-
• Background-
• Their Wish-
• Appearance-
• Name of Heroic Spirit Summoned- Sandor Clegane
• Class of Heroic Spirit- Rider
• Noble Phantasm- Stranger. Sandor's courser, it is almost as large as a destrier but much faster. It is a savage and ill tempered beast, but is gentle with its master. The warhorse is a truly monstrous beast, capable of riding down any combatant in his path. He bites and kicks harshly and without a hint of mercy.

Much like all the best abilities the mana draw for summoning a dragon makes it a short term power, best saved for a finishing blow.

Wouldn't have expected Clegane to be a Rider, but should be pretty darn interesting.
