"Now, the Bates house is largely seen as a physical manifestation of the three parts of human sub-consciousness: the superego, the ego, and the id."
Elaine Wren nibbled on the cap of her pen as she half-listened to the lecture. Why did every film class include a section on Psycho? Yes, it was a good movie, but honestly. There were only so many five-page analyses she could write before she started plagiarizing herself, and she did like to be original.
The back of her left hand burned painfully for a moment. She looked down at it with a frown. It had been bruised for a couple of days, and she could not for the life of her remember what she had done to it. And weren't bruises supposed to yellow and fade instead of redden and darken? How annoying.
The professor dimmed the lights and cued up the next scene that they were to discuss. Elaine rubbed the back of her hand and turned her attention back to the front of the room. Maybe she could try healing it once she got back to her dorm, assuming that her roommate was still in class. It had been awhile since she had done anything relating to that particular aspect of her life, but it should still be no trouble. Just like riding the bike. Hopefully. Maybe. Perhaps.
Twenty minutes later, it burned again. Hotter and longer until she gasped in pain. The guy sitting next to her looked at her in concern. She still had no idea what his name actually was, even more than a month into the semester.
"You good?" he whispered, leaning his head in close.
Elaine nodded, and he reluctantly turned away. What on Earth was that? She turned her hand over to look at the back, and all of the blood drained from her face.
No.
No, that wasn't possible. She wasn't even the strongest magus in the family. That designation belonged to her elder brother, Quinn. He was the heir. He had the majority of their family's circuits. He was supposed to be chosen. Not her. No, she purposefully left for school an ocean away in order to get away from all of this.
Still, her rising panic did nothing to change the truth. On the back of her left hand where her bruise used to be were three, clear red lines. A jagged arrow shot up the center, flanked by symmetric swirls on either side of the arrowhead.
Command Seals. Unmistakably.
The Holy Grail had chosen her to be a Master.
That's right, guys. I'm doing a Fate SYOC. While I have done this format before, this is my first time dipping my toe into the Fate fandom and I'm very excited. I have a lot of fun plans for this story! But first, I need characters from you. I will be looking for both Masters AND Servants.
A little bit about the world of this story: this is an AU in which a lot of the main families of the series either don't exist or are no longer in power. There is no Fuyuki Grail War. Instead, this will be set in a small town in the middle of the Irish countryside that has been built slowly to house the war.
A couple of ground rules:
-As I said, I am looking for both Master and Servant OCs. Ideally, I will have 7 of each, including the lovely Elaine. Meaning, I am looking for 6 Masters and 7 Servants.
-There are no age, gender, or nationality restrictions on any character.
-If you are making a Servant character, they may NOT appear in any of the shows. Appearing in Fate/Grand Order is perfectly acceptable, but I would really love truly original characters. Although, like I said, any character that is NOT in any of the shows is also welcome.
-No Servants that are also deities.
-You maybe submit both a Master and a Servant character. They can be paired up if you wish, but they do not have to be.
-This shouldn't have to be said, but no Mary/Gary Sues. Everyone has weaknesses and character flaws, even Heroic Spirits.
-I love paragraphs. The more detail that you give me to work with, the better.
-Only send submissions through PMs.
For Masters, title the PM "FL – Master (Character Name)"
For Servants, title the PM "FL – Servant (Character Name) (Class)"
-The deadline for submissions is December 14th, so you have just over two weeks. If you need or would like an extension, then shoot me a message! I will not make any decisions regarding characters until after the deadline.
-Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns! I love getting messages!
