Bay 12 Games Forum

You are one of the following:
- An apothecary or other member of staff of the Mizuno Pharmacy heading down to the imperial capital of Soumahara with Rin, who have been tasked with first dropping off a caravan at the Sangonomiya Shrine outside the capital.
- One of the mercenaries and brothers-in-arms of Todoroki Guren's Todoroki's Thousand Swords, a mercenary company tasked with protecting Rin and the other Mizuno Pharmacy officials heading to Soumahara.
- A traveler setting out from Mount Kaikuma for their own reason who has been granted permission to accompany the caravan.

Whatever the case, eight of you have chosen to (or been pressed into) being here.

(OOC Note: Do not worry about overlap or what best fits the party. I care more about if your character is interesting. Being the sole representative of a class that is often considered essential is not a guarantee of getting into Chains of Horai Redux. You will be starting at First Class and you will have an extra 4 points to allocate; no stat can go beyond 10.)

(Further OOC Note: As this is a reboot of Chains of Horai as we have lost all of our plot notes from Chains of Horai, we decided instead of scrapping the whole thing, we'd give it the old college try with new resources and a new shiny story, this time with all of our notes backed up on multiple computers this time. Anyone who signed up for the original Chains of Horai will be given priority but otherwise anyone is welcome to sign up. Of things to note:
- The Gnosis System and the Combat Arts do NOT apply to this version.
- There are no Juunishi this time. We went with something else.)

- Progression caps on non-HP stats can be conditionally increased up to a total of 100% and to a minimum of 0% depending on GM discretion.
- There is no permadeath in Chains of Horai; downed allies will be incapacitated and unable to participate in the next map after their incapacitation.
- Cavaliers may promote into Great Knight. Great Knights have 6 MOV to compensate.
- Characters may exchange Sword for Whip Proficiencies  and Axe for Fist Proficiencies at the discretion of the GM.
- You may start with any weapon of C-rank or below that is not a Devil Weapon, a Siege Weapon or equivalent if they have C-rank proficiencies, and D-rank if D-rank proficiencies arep resent.
- For every 20% growths put into both STR and MAG, you gain 5% growths to put into other stats. Maturity and other Skills that affect Growths, as well as the First Class and Promoted increase, do not count towards the 20% for this rule.
- The Tags Youkai, Bird and Beast are considered equal for the purposes of this game and characters that start with Beaststone or Dragonstone proficiencies will have the Youkai tag attached. Characters who elect to start as part of the Youkai race will also have the Youkai tag added.
- Affinities may be selected at character creation, referred to as Birth Animals, and have been changed as follows:

1. Rat (Water)
2. Ox (Earth)
3. Tiger (Wind)
4. Dog (Anima)
5. Snake (Dark)
6. Horse (Fire)
7. Rabbit (Ice)
8. Dragon (Thunder)
9. Monkey (Heaven)
10. Rooster (Light)
There are also three new Affinities not present in normal FEF:
11. Boar: - +2.5 Hit, +2 points to buffs received, +2.5 Critical/Dodge
12. Sheep: - +2.5 Eva, +2.5% Skill activation chance, +2.5 Critical/Dodge
13. Cat: - +0.5 DMG, +2.5% healing effectiveness, +2.5 Critical/Dodge

In addition, Threat Attacks, Great Monsters, Press Turns, Talk and Life Points are in play.
- Threat Attacks: Powerful attacks that hit multiple tiles, triggered by attracting the attention of the attacker. Threat Attacks are marked with red squares over the tiles that will be hit and will activate one turn after they are triggered.
- Great Monsters: Monsters that occupy more than one tile, have massive HP counts and have Threat Attacks of their own. They reward large amounts of EXP for defeating them.
- Talk: Certain marked enemies will have the option to be Talked to, which grants the talker items or EXP. If an enemy is made to leave the map through Talk, EXP will be gained as if the enemy was defeated through combat. Some enemies can be Talked to after certain conditions are fulfilled, but enemies that are attacked while Talk is enabled for them will no longer accept being Talked to. Furthermore, certain enemies will be weakened when Talked to.
- Life Points: Certain enemies will have Life Points, which allow them to be healed completely upon being reduced to 0 HP at the cost of that point. Life Point expenditure cancels all Threat Attacks launched by the wielder that have yet to land.
- Press Turns: Certain bosses will have multiple moves per Phase. Depleting a Life Point destroys all of their Press Turns for that Phase and if Talk is used correctly Press Turn points can be reduced.

First Class:
- Cavaliers can choose between Swords/Lances and Axes/Lances for weapons.
- Pegasus Knights may choose between Swords and Lances for proficiencies.
- Shaman’s Ancient Gamble trades 1 SPD for 1.5 MAG (rounding up), instead of 1 SPD for 1 MAG.
- Wyvern Knights may choose between Lances and Axes for proficiencies.
- Soldier's Anti-Cavalry activates against Monsters as well as Cavalry.
- Classes that rely on items for their Class Skills (i.e. Apothecary, Brewkeeper) may start with an additional buffing consumable, status inflicting, status restoring or healing item (aside from Concoctions, Elixirs and Nul Needles) of their choice.

Promoted Classes:
- Shadow Sword’s Marked for Death doesn’t apply to the overall bosses of a level, but can be used on midbosses and other named enemies.

Bio:

You are all Miragers, magical girls and boys who use the power of music, love and friendship to fight the demonic Amanojaku. You are either:

- A member of the Fire Soul Agency's 1st and 2nd Units, an entertainment agency that doubles as a Mirager group led by retired rocker Javier Luna and impish scientist Freydis Ormrsdottir. Using their tours, they use their Biorhythm-enhanced music to lower the Amanojaku's defenses. However, recent mysteries are coming to the fore....
or
- A member of the Tactical Sound Unit EUFON, an elite government-funded Mirager group investigating the origin of Amanojaku, under the guise of the idol units KNIGHTMARES and Afternoon. You are investigating the Fire Soul Agency, believing that their methods may have the key to the attacks of the Amanojaku....

The plot and setting of the story are heavily inspired by Symphogear, Macross Delta, Macross Frontier and Tokyo Mirage Sessions and the half-remembered knowledge I have of various idol media. As such, expect unhingedness, cheesiness and complete insanity.
(OOC Note: Do not worry about overlap or what best fits the party. I care more about if your character is interesting. Being the sole representative of a damage type is not a guarantee of getting in.)

There are small bonuses depending on what origin your choose for your characters.
Mirage
SONG-type Mirage - The Mirage you use is a SONG-type, which recognises only one wielder. Its power increases with the user's Biorhythm output. You gain an extra Personal Skill. Only Fire Soul Agency characters can use this.
EUFON-type Mirage - The Mirage you use a EUFON-type, with anyone being able to use it, with an increased base power compensated by requiring the special serum Quartz Fold to use. You gain a Free Chance Character Skill that is not an alternate version of a Cost Skill you have, and with half the base chance to activate. Only EUFON characters can use this.

Affiliation:
Fire Soul Agency:
1st Unit - Galactic☆Fairy (2 slots): An experienced Mirager, you two worked with your partner Azusa to help dispatch Amanojaku. With your additional experience, you gain an extra 4 points and one extra Mirage Art at character creation. That Mirage Art counts towards your 15 Art limit.
2nd Unit (2 slots): After a trial by fire, you are a Mirager in the newly-created 2nd Unit of Fire Soul, training to use your Mirage in the defense of others. You gain 20% growths and an additional 5% at Promotion.

Tactical Sound Unit EUFON:
EUFON Receptor Candidates/1st Unit - KNIGHTMARES (2 slots): The earliest members of the Tactical Sound Unit, you were hand-picked due to your skills and compatibility with the Mirages possessed by the unit. With your additional experience, you gain an extra 4 points and one extra Mirage Art at character creation. That Mirage Art counts towards your 15 Art limit.
EUFON Volunteers/2nd Unit - Afternoon (3 slots): Later applicants to the unit, you were recruited based on your Biorhythm levels being high enough to use EUFON-type Mirages. You gain 20% growths and an additional 5% at Promotion.

Example Civilian Forms:

Example Mirager Forms:

- There is no permadeath in MegaMirager; downed allies will remain on the map until pulled up.
- Stillness, Taunt, Discipline, Reinforce, and Provoke are not available.
- The following Character Skills are changed:
   - Akimbo: Applies to Mirage Forms instead.
   - Armsthrift: Armsthrift now has a SKL*2% chance of not using Biorhythm Charge on Mirage Arts or QL on items.
   - Colossus/Colossus+: Now increase offensive stat by x1.5/x2 before calculations instead of adding CON.
   - Fortitude/Fortitude+: Now increase defensive stat by x1.3/x1.5 before calculations instead of adding CON.
   - Corrosion/Corrosion+: Now disables Mirage Arts and seals equipment.
   - Imbue/Center: Changes the HP recovery effect to MAG/2 or STR/2. In return, Imbue/Center does not disappear when taking Magical or Physical proficiencies at Promotion.
- For every 10% Progression put into both STR and MAG, you gain 5% growth to put into other stats, capped at an extra 25%. Maturity and other Skills that affect Growths, as well as the Ascension increase, do not count towards the 10% for this rule.
- Weapons and equipment are overridden with the lists in the MegaMirager guide.

In addition, the following mechanics apply:
- Threat Attacks: Powerful attacks that hit multiple tiles, triggered by attracting the attention of the attacker. Threat Attacks are marked with red squares over the tiles that will be hit and will activate one turn after they are triggered.

- Great Monsters: Monsters that occupy more than one tile, have massive HP counts and have Threat Attacks of their own.

- Talk: Certain marked enemies will have the option to be Talked to, which grants the talker items or EXP. If an enemy is made to leave the map through Talk, EXP will be gained as if the enemy was defeated through combat. Some enemies can be Talked to after certain conditions are fulfilled, but enemies that are attacked while Talk is enabled for them will no longer accept being Talked to. Furthermore, certain enemies will be weakened when Talked to.

- Life Points: Certain enemies will have Life Points, which allow them to be healed completely upon being reduced to 0 HP at the cost of that point. Life Point expenditure cancels all Threat Attacks launched by the wielder that have yet to land.

- Barriers: Certain, very powerful enemies have Barriers, which tank damage at a rate of 10 damage per 1 hit; any excess damages their HP directly. Barriers also resist Critical hits; while Barriers are up, the enemy cannot be critted, but are still vulnerable to other forms of damage increase such as Focusing Chant or Luna.

- Elite Enemies: Elite enemies take halved damage from all sources except Poison, Drain and Session-boosted attacks. Once struck with a Session-boosted attack, the Elite protection breaks, allowing them to take normal damage from attacks. Critical hits do not work against Elites until their protection has been destroyed.

- Press Turns: Certain bosses will have multiple moves per Phase. Depleting a Life Point destroys all of their Press Turns for that Phase and if Talk is used correctly Press Turn points can be reduced.

Bio:

You and five other young residents of the idyllic town of Iwatodai were once friends with the titular Hanako Saihara and Satoshi Akamatsu, all of you going on "adventures" around the town of Iwatodai, the closest of friends despite the occasional disagreement; maybe you've known everybody since the first day of kindergarten, or maybe you showed up a little later. Idling away those beautiful summer afternoons, you hoped it could all last forever.

However, after an unfortunate accident during one fateful summer two years ago, Hanako disappeared, and was found dead, a few days later.

With the grief and stress that occurred as a result, your friendship group drifted apart despite Satoshi's best efforts....until now, where, on a summer afternoon as the summer heat begins to blanket Iwatodai and summer break begins, Satoshi calls you frantically. The only thing you can figure out is that somehow, some way....Hanako has returned.

Plotwise, this story takes many cues from AnoHana, Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai and Your Name. Setting-wise, this story takes place seven years before Demon Soul Saga in the same world, and thus shares many setting elements, such as the Mishima Corporation, the existence of the Mishima District, Kaijin and a few characters. For obvious reasons, you are not allowed to submit a character from Demon Soul Saga as a character for Seven Wishes but you may have characters with links to the events in Demon Soul Saga. This will also be a test game for a more experimental and abstract approach to combat, with more emphasis on roleplaying past obstacles and the like, an approach I've been toying with since the good ol' days of Wonderful Blessing. Mechanically, you begin as first class units.

(OOC Note: Do not worry about overlap or what best fits the party. I care more about if your character is interesting. Being the sole dancer, healer or other essential role is not a guarantee of getting in.)

Taking a cue from Aston's Rise and Fall of Kishibe Senior High's Souban, consider the following while making your character:
- Classes are to be fluffed as ordinary occupations a teenager might hold. For instance, a Mercenary might be a Baseball Player, and a Priest a Miko (assuming my ten minutes of Googling have not failed me).
- Magic, weapons and items are fluffed as the sort of things an average teenager might get access to in a medium-sized town. Remember, you're high school students - and non-Kaijin at that. There is some leeway allowed - for instance, you could fluff magic as firecrackers or witty words.
- When fluffing items like this, leave their actual names in brackets next to them like so:
   - Morinaga Firecrackers (Arcfire)
   - Haymaker (Iron Cestus)
  An item list will cover consumables.
- In-universe, combat is not as intense as other Fire Emblem on Forums games. Your HP is actually representative more of your mental ability to cope with the Abnormalities you will encounter, than your actual physical health. As such, while mentally you might be fatigued, physically you will be more or less untouched.

Other Outfits:

- There is no permadeath in Seven Wishes; downed allies disappear after 3 turns but may return on the next map or if the map mechanics allow for it.
- Stillness, Taunt, and Provoke are not available.
- Cavaliers may promote into Great Knight; Great Knights gain 6 MOV.
- Characters may choose any starting weapon within the proficiencies of their class.  You may start with any weapon of C-rank or below that is not a Devil Weapon, a Siege Weapon or equivalent.
- The following class lines and classes may replace their Axe proficiencies with Fist:
   - Pirate line
   - Bandit line
   - Oni Savage line
   - Hero
   - War Cleric
- The following class lines and classes may replace their Sword proficiencies for Whip:
   - Dancer line
   - Fencer line
- Merchants and their promotions, Apothecaries and their promotions, Quartermasters and their promotions, Artificers and their promotions and Wanderers have an additional class skill, Negotiator.
   Negotiator: The holder of this skill pays 30% less at shops.
- For every 10% growths put into both STR and MAG, you gain 5% growths to put into other stats, capped at an extra 35%. Maturity and other Skills that affect Growths, as well as Promotion, do not count towards the 10% for this rule.
- Classes that are reliant on item usage may start with one extra consumable item from the following list if they do not start with a Class Skill that gives them an extra item upon character creation:
   - Vulneraries
   - Any restoring item that isn't a Nul Needle
   - Any buffing item
   The following classes are considered to be be reliant on item usage:
   - Alchemist line
   - Apothecary line
   - Hospitalist line
   - Quartermaster line
   - Scavenger line
   - Thief line
- Units that have Staff and Weapon proficiencies may start with both a Staff and a Weapon.

In addition, Threat Attacks, Great Monsters, Press Turns, Talk, and Life Points are in play.
- Threat Attacks: Powerful attacks that hit multiple tiles, triggered by attracting the attention of the attacker. Threat Attacks are marked with red squares over the tiles that will be hit and will activate one turn after they are triggered.
- Great Monsters: Monsters that occupy more than one tile, have massive HP counts and have Threat Attacks of their own. They reward large amounts of EXP for defeating them.
- Talk: All boss enemies can be Talked to. If an enemy is made to leave the map through Talk, EXP will be gained as if the enemy was defeated through combat. Some enemies can be Talked to after certain conditions are fulfilled, but enemies that are attacked while Talk is enabled for them will no longer accept being Talked to. Furthermore, certain enemies will be weakened when Talked to.

As a side note, roleplaying to get past enemies will be heavily emphasised in Seven Wishes. As such, most bosses will have a way around them that does not involve fighting them to the finish. Fights will in general be a lot looser and less regimented than in other FEFs, and as such will be heavily experimental in nature.

- Life Points: Certain enemies will have Life Points, which allow them to be healed completely upon being reduced to 0 HP at the cost of that point. Life Point expenditure cancels all Threat Attacks launched by the wielder that have yet to land.
- Press Turns: Certain bosses will have multiple moves per Phase. Depleting a Life Point destroys all of their Press Turns for that Phase and if Talk is used correctly Press Turn points can be reduced.

First Class:
- Bards receive an additional Class Skill, Team Spirit.
   - Team Spirit: Allies Performed, buffed or healed by the Bard receive an Energised buff. Energised status grants +3 DMG and +3 DR in addition to other buffs and lasts until the end of the next Phase.
- Cavaliers can choose between Swords/Lances and Axes/Lances for weapons.
- Fighter’s “Clear a Path” ability now also applies to Pillars, to Forts, and to any miscellaneous terrains that cost 2 MOV to move into.
- Pegasus Knights may choose between Swords and Lances for proficiencies.
- If promoting into Commander, Tacticians may elect to change their Anima A/C proficiencies for a Sword/Anima D/D pair of proficiencies.
- Troubadour gets a buff on Healing Flow – each turn’s worth of healing is 1/2 the normal healing amount, not 1/3 the normal healing amount.
- Wyvern Knights may choose between Lances and Axes for proficiencies.
- Necromancer's Draw Life now restores an additional 20% MHP in addition to the 20% of total damage it already restores.
- Soldier's Anti-Cavalry activates against Monsters as well as Cavalry.

Promoted Classes:
- Assassin’s Vital Strike is limited to a cap of +25 Crit at maximum.
- Dark Rider’s Life Steal only heals 33% of max HP.
- Illusionist doesn’t get Brilliant Disguise, but instead they get the following ability: Deceptive Dance.
   -Deceptive Dance: The Illusionist can choose to create an illusion and refresh the action of one allied unit within 2 spaces. This doesn’t replace Bolster, which Illusionist does get.

Bio:

You are either:
- A player of the hit VRMMO Rebel Impulse, dubbed a Diver, going about their normal business.
- An Aes Sidhe, an NPC in Rebel Impulse who breaks out of their routine to masquerade as a Diver. If you do intend to play an Aes Sidhe, please PM first either on Discord or Bay12 (Discord preferred).
The game takes place on an alternate Earth where, among other differences, VR gaming took off significantly earlier. You will start at First Class for your characters.

(OOC Note: Do not worry about overlap or what best fits the party. I care more about if your character is interesting. Being the sole representative of a class or testing new classes is not a guarantee of getting in. The only stipulation I have is that, for game reasons, all player Divers are based in the same city in reality, which shall remain unspecified.)

- There is no permadeath in Rebel Impulse; downed allies will be incapacitated and unable to participate in the next map after their incapacitation as they must "respawn" at the nearest respawn point.
- Cavaliers may promote into Great Knight. Great Knights have 6 MOV to compensate.
- Lockpicks are no longer items; instead, any class with the Lockpick skill may open doors and chests without keys.
- New formula for Ailment staves: Staff%= Staff Hit + [(User MAG - Target RES) * 3] + (SKL * 2) - (Distance between user and target * 5).
- Characters may choose any starting weapon within the proficiencies of their class. In addition, units that have Staff proficiencies and access to one other Proficiency may select a weapon from that in addition to a Staff. You may start with any weapon of C-rank or below that is not a Devil Weapon, a Siege Weapon or equivalent.
- Stillness, Taunt, and Provoke are not available.
- Savior, in addition to its other effects, gives the user +3 Aid.
- Pirates and Bandits may swap their Axe proficiencies for Fist proficiencies, as can their promotions, Heroes and War Clerics. Fencers and their promotions may use Whips in place of Swords. Troubadours may take Light or Heavy Guns, but Disciples may not use either of the Gun categories.
- Merchants and their promotions, Artificers and their promotions and Wanderers have an additional class skill, Negotiator.
Negotiator: The holder of this skill pays 30% less at shops.
- For every 20% growths put into both STR and MAG, you gain 5% growths to put into other stats. Maturity and other Skills that affect Growths, as well as the First Class and Promoted increase, do not count towards the 20% for this rule.
- Daggers gain +5 Critical across the entire subcategory. Knives gain +2 MT across the entire subcategory.
- This game will be using the Milestone system for EXP; completing objectives or defeating a certain bloc of enemies will gain EXP, instead of gaining EXP per action or per combat.
- Players may pick their own affinities. However, this affinity must match either at least one Spell tree, their Elemental Infusion or the intended element of their Impulse Tech. Anima and Heaven are replaced by Nature and Metal; otherwise, they have the same effect. Do not take this as a chance to abuse this opportunity, as I have right of final veto.

In addition, Threat Attacks, Great Monsters, Press Turns, Talk and Life Points are in play.
- Threat Attacks: Powerful attacks that hit multiple tiles, triggered by attracting the attention of the attacker. Threat Attacks are marked with red squares over the tiles that will be hit and will activate one turn after they are triggered.
- Great Monsters: Monsters that occupy more than one tile, have massive HP counts and have Threat Attacks of their own. They reward large amounts of EXP for defeating them.
- Talk: Certain marked enemies will have the option to be Talked to, which grants the talker items or EXP. If an enemy is made to leave the map through Talk, EXP will be gained as if the enemy was defeated through combat. Some enemies can be Talked to after certain conditions are fulfilled, but enemies that are attacked while Talk is enabled for them will no longer accept being Talked to. Furthermore, certain enemies will be weakened when Talked to.
- Life Points: Certain enemies will have Life Points, which allow them to be healed completely upon being reduced to 0 HP at the cost of that point. Life Point expenditure cancels all Threat Attacks launched by the wielder that have yet to land.
- Press Turns: Certain bosses will have multiple moves per Phase. Depleting a Life Point destroys all of their Press Turns for that Phase and if Talk is used correctly Press Turn points can be reduced.

You are a student of Our Lady of Hermelin High School in a fictional city of Japan, the Mishima Economic District. After an attack by a mysterious Rakshasa, you gain the power to transform into a Kaijin, a powerful demon embodying your very soul, to fight against the Akuma to protect your fellow students.

Example Kaijin:

- Progression caps on non-HP stats can be conditionally increased up to a total of 100% and to a minimum of 0% depending on GM discretion.
- There is no permadeath in Demon Soul Saga; downed allies will remain on the map until pulled up.
- Stillness, Nullify, Nullify+, Taunt, Discipline, Weapon Saver, Savior, and Provoke are not available.
- For every 10% growths put into both STR and MAG, you gain 5% growths to put into other stats, capped at an extra 35%. Maturity and other Skills that affect Growths, as well as the Ascension increase, do not count towards the 20% for this rule.
- Weapons and equipment outside of the Items List do not exist; instead, you will follow the Spells List mechanics.

In addition, Threat Attacks, Great Monsters, Press Turns, Talk, Elemental Affinities and Life Points are in play.
- Threat Attacks: Powerful attacks that hit multiple tiles, triggered by attracting the attention of the attacker. Threat Attacks are marked with red squares over the tiles that will be hit and will activate one turn after they are triggered.
- Great Monsters: Monsters that occupy more than one tile, have massive HP counts and have Threat Attacks of their own. They reward large amounts of EXP for defeating them.
- Talk: Certain marked enemies will have the option to be Talked to, which grants the talker items or EXP. If an enemy is made to leave the map through Talk, EXP will be gained as if the enemy was defeated through combat. Some enemies can be Talked to after certain conditions are fulfilled, but enemies that are attacked while Talk is enabled for them will no longer accept being Talked to. Furthermore, certain enemies will be weakened when Talked to.
- Elemental Affinities: Enemies and players alike have Elemental Affinities, allowing them to resist or take extra damage from different types of elemental or physical attacks.
- Life Points: Certain enemies will have Life Points, which allow them to be healed completely upon being reduced to 0 HP at the cost of that point. Life Point expenditure cancels all Threat Attacks launched by the wielder that have yet to land.
- Press Turns: Certain bosses will have multiple moves per Phase. Depleting a Life Point destroys all of their Press Turns for that Phase and if Talk is used correctly Press Turn points can be reduced.

(lf using a physical spell, calculate with enemy’s Strength. If using a magical spell, calculate using the enemy’s Magic. Spell capable of both use the stat that targets the same defensive stat as they do.)
-Trailblazer (Free): Penalties for moving into forest, desert, deep snow, and hills tiles are reduced by 1. No ill effects from Weather are suffered as well.

Bio:

You are one of the following:
- A Companion: Perhaps you are a friend of one of the three characters here, a bodyguard assigned to protect Rin on her mission, a companion of Todoroki's on his quest to find his master, or an ally of Yusuke's on his quest for freedom. If you are interested in this origin, please PM me.
- One of the Cursed: Fourteen individuals are born every generation, bound together by a curse extending back into the fogs of time. Whether you have escaped the Empress' clutches or were never with her to begin with, you seek answers to the curse. If you are interested in this origin, please read the datafiles and PM me.
- A resistance fighter: Fed up with the Empress' reluctance to rule, you seek recompense, and seek to throw her aside. In these adventurers, you see opportunity; someone who can finally bring an end to the Empress' reign, whether by force or by words alone.
- Someone else entirely: The world of Horai is full of wanderers and travellers who can be bound together by the whims of fate. Perhaps this is you, your destiny bound with countless others on a journey you have yet to truly set foot on.
Whatever the case, eight of you have elected to follow this journey.

(OOC Note: Do not worry about overlap or what best fits the party. I care more about if your character is interesting. Being the sole representative of a class that is often considered essential is not a guarantee of getting into Chains of Horai. Furthermore, although I will ask for your sheets to be Trainees, you will be leveled up to First Class before the first map, so keep that in mind.)

Bio:

In the world of Horai, the Gods of the Land grant certain individuals a Gnosis that grants them power. Mechanically, your Affinity is your Gnosis, which is why I have elected to allow you to pick your own Affinity, as your Gnosis is given to you as a combination of your personality, backstory and deeds, and your Gnosis determines also the elements and effects of your Art and Burst. Do not take this as a chance to abuse this opportunity, as I have right of final veto. Anima and Heaven affinities are also replaced by the Lignum and Ferrum Gnoses; mechanically, these have the same effect.

You are boarding students in your third year at Solrise Academy. Preparing for a career either with Solrise Academy, the Calamity Forecast Office or somewhere else, all of you are in your final year of studying at one of the most prestigious institutions in the world of Parvain, a world not so different and yet not so similar from Earth. While at Solrise Academy, you will have the opportunity to participate in many academy activities, as well as learn the ropes of how the Elerian Order works. Given the small sizes of the classes, eleven lucky students will have been able to continue all three years at Solrise Academy without being expelled or dropping out.

(OOC Note: Do not worry about overlap or what best fits the party. I care more about if your character is interesting. Being the sole representative of a class that is often considered essential is not a guarantee of getting into Solrise Academy.)

Bio: (optional but very much recommended)

This is a short gaiden game set in the same world as Wonderful Blessing. Comprising only seven maps total, Whereabouts of Drink and Coin revolves around seven members of the Wharf Street Warriors adventuring guild as they attempt to survive one night in Ishim with the entirety of the city's gangs chasing them. As such, the entirety of the plot of this story takes place within the span of one night, and takes place the day before Chapter 3 of Wonderful Blessing. This was also created to test out the HEAT Mechanic System that I created to translate the titular mechanic from the Yakuza series into FEF for later usage.

In case you're wondering, this was heavily inspired by The Warriors and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.

The Wharf Street Warriors -you- are some of the better adventurers in Midgardia. Established back in 3119, the Warriors have pulled off some serious stunts; taking down a rampaging dragon in northern Midgardia, repelling an entire raid of multiple bandit clans on Aviane City and a few other jobs. While still far behind the Heavenly Emperors, the Warriors are nonetheless a respected adventuring outfit. The Boss, guild leader, is well-known as a great adventurer in her own right, however; some say they could've been a Heavenly Emperor if they'd joined up, while others wonder why they're not fighting up in Penultia at the front lines. Regardless, they've inspired enough people to join the Warriors in the hope of seeing good action.

Seven of you got saddled with protecting the Boss' sister, of course. Well, 'got saddled' is an unfair term; after all, they wouldn't trust their sister to just anyone. You were selected for one reason; for whatever reason, you happen to be the best of the Warriors, no matter what kind of quirks you got. The Boss loves their sister dearly, and wouldn't see her off without the cream of the crop. Go get 'em.

- The party will start at First Class Level 5 with 2 C Supports and be levelled up to match with arrangements to sort out simulations of supports to be decided within the next two weeks. B, A and S supports will be awarded at an accelerated rate.
- Progression caps on non-HP stats can be conditionally increased up to a total of 100% and to a minimum of 0% depending on GM discretion and on how entertaining it would be to allow it.
- Instead of being permanently killed when three turns have passed after reaching 0 HP, players who are downed remain downed until picked up. Allies left behind on Escape maps are considered to have been abandoned. If Nico is left behind, the map is considered to have been failed. (The Warriors leave nobody behind, but we got too many enemies to stick around.)
- There will be no gold in Whereabouts of Drink and Coin; instead, items will be received through drops, breaking vending machines and ice boxes, chests, class skills and GM discretion.
- Cavaliers may promote into Great Knight. Great Knights have 6 MOV to compensate.
- The Apothecary promotion line is playable. In addition, Priest/Sister may promote into War Cleric. In addition, Apothecaries now can use vulneraries and concoctions on anybody and still attack during the turn, rather than just vulneraries on themselves.
- Lockpicks are no longer items; instead, any class with the Lockpick skill may open doors and chests without keys.
- New formula for Ailment staves: Staff%= Staff Hit + [(User MAG - Target RES) * 3] + (SKL * 2) - (Distance between user and target * 5).
- Characters may choose any starting weapon within the proficiencies of their class.
- Stillness and Provoke are not available.
- Savior, in addition to its other effects, gives the user +3 Aid.
- Pirates and Bandits may swap their Axe proficiencies for Fist proficiencies, as can their promotions, Heroes and War Clerics. Fencers and their promotions may use Whips in place of Swords.
- Energy Boost and derivative items count as Buffing items for the purposes of the Alchemist's Power of Alchemy and the Hermeticist's Mastery of Alchemy, while Stamina Boost items count as Herbs, Vulneraries and Concoctions. The Polymath's Mastery of Transmutation may produce Energy Boosts and Stamina Boosts from their Transmutation action but cannot upgrade them.

In addition, Threat Attacks and Life Points are in play.
- Threat Attacks: Powerful attacks that hit multiple tiles, triggered by attracting the attention of the attacker. Threat Attacks are marked with red squares over the tiles that will be hit and will activate one turn after they are triggered.
- Life Points: Certain enemies will have Life Points, which allow them to be healed completely upon being reduced to 0 HP at the cost of that point. Life Point expenditure cancels all Threat Attacks launched by the wielder that have yet to land.

 -Aegis (Free): When suffering an attack from Bows, Hidden Weapons, Tomes and Dragonstones, there is a (SKL+LCK)% chance to reduce the damage dealt by half.
-Aegis+/Pavise+ (Cost): When suffering an attack, there is a (SKL+LCK)% chance to reduce the damage dealt by half.
-Desperation (Free): When making an attack or counterattack, if you are < or = 30% HP, you may make any followup attacks after your first attack/counterattack.
-Desperation+ (Cost): When making an attack or counterattack, if you are < or = 40% HP, you may make any followup attacks after your first attack/counterattack, and you gain 15% crit.
-Dragon Ward (Free): When an adjacent ally suffers an attack, there is a (SKL+LCK)% chance, based on your stats, to reduce the damage by half.
-Dragon Ward+ (Cost): When an adjacent ally suffers an attack, there is a (SKL+LCK)% chance, based on your stats, to cancel it out altogether.
-Pavise (Free): When suffering an attack from Swords, Lances, Axes and Monsters, there is a (SKL+LCK)% chance to reduce the damage by half.
-Rend Heaven (Free): During an attack, you have a (SKL+LCK)% chance to deal damage equal to half your enemy’s STR or MAG stat based on the type of weapon you are wielding. (lf using a physical weapon, calculate with enemy’s Strength. If using a magical weapon, calculate using the enemy’s Magic. Weapons capable of both use the stat that targets the same defensive stat as they do.)
-Trailblazer (Free): Penalties for moving into forest, desert, deep snow, and hills tiles are reduced by 1. No ill effects from Weather are suffered as well.
-Vengeance (Free) – During an attack, you have a (SKL+LCK)% chance to add half of your missing HP to your attack.
