Fate/strange fake

Fate/Strange Fake is an allowed doujin game that was announced in the fan magazine "Type-Moon Ace 2" along with a short novel to introduce the concept to a later game that is to be developed. Not canon to the Nasuverse, it started as a an April Fool's blurb written by, author of , called "Fate/States Night", about a Grail War faultily copied from the third Grail War in Snowfield, a small town in California, ten years after Fate/Hollow Ataraxia.

Plot
After the end of the third Grail War, a group of magi separate from the London based Mage Association decided that they would copy the ritual. They only managed to copy part of the ritual, which lead to the loss of the Saber class and further loss of the definition of a "Hero." The magi eventually infiltrated the U.S. Government and for two hundred years manipulated events in Snowfield, California to replicate the Sacred Land needed to generate a Grail.

Characters

 * Player: There is a hole in the ritual, the lack of the Saber class, but there is a seventh Master. The Master has no Servant, but does have the ability to draw upon the power of any Servant up to five times with a limited duration depending on how much power is expended. This master is the first Pretender master known.


 * Archer: Archer is once again Gilgamesh, though this is a new copy produced from the Throne of Heroes. Though without memories of the Fourth and Fifth Grail Wars and unpolluted by the Grail, he still displays his generally haughty attitude. He initially has no plans to participate, but after his master is assassinated by a magical Native American woman who wants a prosperous free nation for her people, and he finds that Lancer is Enkidu, he decides to participate under her command.


 * Lancer: Lancer is Enkidu, Gilgamesh's closest friend, and the namesake for Enkidu. His master is a Wolf Familiar, who betrayed its original master after it was to be used as a sacrifice to summon Enkidu. Enkidu has the "appearance of a woman."


 * Berserker: Berserker is Jack The Ripper, though it is a flawed copy. Jack was already bloodthirsty in life, so attempting to grant him Mad Enhancement in turn made him a relaxed and calm individual. He has the ability shapeshift into any incarnation of the legend of Jack The Ripper he wants to be, as his real identity was never discovered. His master is an inept man, who used a toy knife as the catalyst.


 * Assassin: Assassin is "The Unspoken Hassan", a woman who excelled at all of the techniques of the Hassan clan of Assassins, but was never allowed to become Hassan Sabbah. They feared her, which created a legend that surpassed all of them. Assassin has decided that the Holy Grail is a falsehood to her faith whether it functions the way the magi want it to or not, and has committed to destroying it. She immediately pulls out the heart of her master, Jester Calture, though it turns out that it is a Dead Apostle, the "Six Hearted Revolver", with a body to match each of its six hearts. It has decided that its goal is to crush Assassin's Faith.


 * Caster: Caster is Alexander Dumas, a writer who was never trained in magecraft. He is the weakest Caster on record, though he does have the ability to "write" items into existence. His master is the Police Chief of Snowfield, and he has a very loyal cadre of deputies; all mages. He has Caster create Noble Phantasms, which allows him to control a small army of knowledgeable, powerful, and well-trained special ops.


 * Rider: Rider's master, Kuruoka Tsubaki, is the child of magi who looked upon Zouken Matou's work on magical worms and attempted to improve upon it. They infected Tsubaki with a magic-based Bacteria as an experiment, and though it put her into a coma, it created an exceptionally powerful Master out of her. Her parents planned to use her as a puppet and summon the First Emperor of China as a Servant, though it was instantly devoured from the inside by Tsubaki's true Servant, The Black Death. Without human form, the legendary disease that killed off much of Europe "rides" people, brings them to it's master's residence, and places them into a coma. They are placed into Tsubaki's dream world. The first people taken were Tsubaki's parents, and the first thing that they had to do upon entering was to buy her cake.
