The year is 2030.

The futuristic city of Neo Kyoto has experienced no catastrophic events ever since the earthquake of 2007. Neo Kyoto has prospered, under the watchful eyes of Neo Kyoto's local Magus Association, who carefully guide the city toward global significance. Their supremacy is unchallenged by any other Magus Association or group of Magi in Japan, and only carefully matched by the likes of London and Dublin abroad.

Recent digs to reclaim lost territory during the earthquake, however, revealed a strange construct unlike any made by man before, now or since; a strange array of crystalline structures- numbering in the hundreds of thousands, focused around a core of magical energy, connected to a strange device later identified as a computer terminal of unknown make, found in the basement of what was a former Internet cafe in downtown Old Kyoto. When it was activated, the terminal had but one word on the screen; Do you wish to usher in a new Millennium?.

Despite various scientists and linguistic experts attempting to enter affirmative answers into the terminal, it did not change. The computer was immediately sealed off for study by order of the Japanese government.

Ever since, the Millennium construct-as it came to be called- was rapidly identified to be a supercomputer, far more advanced than any computer humanity had the potential to come up for the foreseeable future, yet dating back 66 million years ago, around the time of the Cretaceous extinction event and the Chicxulub impact. Analysis revealed it to have records of almost every single event, figure, place and piece of information ever since that event. Further analysis by the Magus Association discovered an even more startling function; the Millennium supercomputer had the power to alter reality itself with the well of magical energy that constructed the core of the computer, if only one could figure out how to make the computer work. In effect, the supercomputer could grant wishes.

It was determined, however, that the best way of using the supercomputer was to destroy the terminal and directly influence the core. A ritual was drawn up that would theoretically force the core to grant their wish.

Immediately, the Magus Association sought to make use of the supercomputer to advance their aims and extend the influence of Neo Kyoto throughout the world, pulling the world under their grasp. However, this decision was not unanimous, and some Magi splintered from the Association, plotting to destroy the supercomputer and maintain the order of the world as it was. Yet others splintered away from this group, seeking to use Millennium for their own wishes. A war was to be fought, a secret war that was unlike any other fought before.

Yet, on the eve of the first skirmish between the Association and Rogue Magi, a strange event occurred.

Millennium turned on of it's own accord and changed the atmosphere of Neo Kyoto entirely. Suddenly, all the Magi- and some others, who desired Millennium but lacked knowledge of Magecraft or the ability to use magic at all- involved in the war knew a ritual that they had never seen before, one that was deemed impossible.

By the use of a catalyst and the sacrifice of blood, with a certain magical circle, it was possible to summon a being from myths, legends or even history, a Servant in the container of one of seven classes, to serve the Master. The first people to attempt it found something else- these Servants were far stronger than normal humans, far better at battle, bringing to bear Magecraft and weapons that the world had long forgotten or thought impossible, some even bearing Reality Marbles, Magecraft that approached True Magic.

All sides began to employ Servants in place of themselves to fight their secret war in their place and take control of Millennium.

The Millennium War had begun in earnest.

OOC: This is a roleplaying game based partially on the visual novel Fate/stay night and the spinoff game Fate/Extra. The concept of the game is that there are three factions of Masters fighting over the Millennium supercomputer- the Magus Association, seeking to control the supercomputer to rule over the world, the Rogue Magi, seeking to destroy it and maintain order, and the wild cards with their own aims and designs for the computer.

There are two kinds of characters here:
- Masters: Magus or non-Magus, these are normal humans who have taken control of a Servant and so can participate in the Millennium War. Their purpose is to command their paired Servant and fight to suppress the other faction in order to gain access to Millennium.
- Servants: Historical, mythical or legendary figures, these beings were summoned from a world beyond time and space to fight once more. Their purpose is to act as the champion of their Master and fight on their behalf to claim Millennium.

Please feel free to ask any questions, ask for clarifications or suggest modifications to this system. I only came up with it in four days to coincide with the release of this RP.

((Well there's a fine line.

You barricade yourself in without accounting for someone barricading you in from the outside, that's suicide.
You get barricaded in by someone else without barricading yourself in, that's murder.
Also, Monobadger.))

((Not if we climb in through the window and stab you.))
