Fire Emblem: Requiem

The old times are long gone - but many still recount the tales of the forming of Rivesca. When the dragons arrived from a distant land they found a land almost untouched. They found the first human dwellers of Rivesca, and using their superiority, claimed them as slaves. For many years humans were oppressed and used by their dragon overlords, before an uprising by a young female mage called Fayne Slara was able to claim the power of the creators of Rivesca to save humanity, with the spell Pallas Leia. Her, with her companions, was able to liberate humanity and send the rest of the dragons flying from Rivesca, never to return. It is said that every old nation was formed after the name of Fayne and her companions - Slaria stands proudly as the magical height of power. While many of the nations have suffered wars, most of the larger nations remain in relative peace despite their immediate past. Humanity itself has almost become their own masters - they have fought against nature and themselves to be where they are today - wyverns, horses and pegasi are under their control. However, as revolution rack the nations of Tara and Altharia to split them from the Great Otela Empire and other powers are waning and growing, there seems to be a significant power shift to come in the land of Rivesca.


Overview
This is a Stat-based RP. We are primarily going to be using the FEGBA system, though there are some changes. Please read all of the rules before you create a character. There is some world fluff below, as well as a map with nations.

I'm going to be using FE4 and FE5 sprites and tilesets, however. For those unfamiliar with how those games look, here's an example from FE4:



Those that are familiar may be seeing familiar maps as I'm not a fantastic map editor but I hope to splice sections and do basic editing to swap things up at least a little. For reference, FE4 maps usually are pretty huge compared to FE standards and cover a good section of land in the continent while the FE5 maps are more like a standard FE style - in this case I'm likely going to be using FE4 for outside maps and FE5 for indoors generally.

Everything else below is stats and how the stat-based part of the RP is going to run.
Remember, tell me if you have any queries.

Nations

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Blue: Leda (the Ledanese)

Capital City: Rossau
Leader: Chanelle Matan (Rossau), Marcus Tobia (Sarus), Allan Salor (Levelle), Vestan Rador (Yilsen), among other settlement leaders.
Main class types: Dragon Knight, Pegasus Knight, Troubadour
 
The republic of Leda find themselves on the northern island of Edina, which is mostly covered in ice. Most of the people that hail from Leda are adapted to the cold weather. It was established out of necessity for transporting goods between the settlements most in need of food. Most of their cities are self-managed by governors though there is a council that meet annually to discuss what is in their best interests. The city of Rossau is the largest in all of Leda, and so controls much of the regions trade after it passes through port towns such as Levelle and Yilsen. The citizens of Leda don't dare to go any further north than they do, because that area which they Kabaleth is considered holy ground that no human should traverse on.
 
They are known for their elite pegasi and dragon riders that have the ability to cross vast distances in a short amount of time and the Ledanese army often incorporates these in order to subjugate local banditry and to transport important materials across Leda. Since they are so far away from any of the southern nations, they have very little contact with them. However, they are in contact with Slaria and usually are even willing to send some of their troops to their side as allies. They have a hatred for Tarakon because of the fighting that happened between them long ago and it still hasn't subverted.
 

Gray: Tevakon (the Tevakons)

Capital City: Hania
Leader: Frederick Seton, Richard Seton, Seton family.
Main class types: Armour, Social Knight, Soldier
 
Tevakon find themselves with the most well trained and organized military - often made up of ranks of heavily trained soldiers and knights. The Seton family has ruled for generations and today is still no exception, with the king Frederick and his son prince Richard overseeing the kingdom. His father and his ancestors before believed there would be a time when all of humanity would be proud to call themselves Tevakon, and while they are ambitious and looking to expand, they are smart enough to know when this would be unwise.
 
Tevakon mostly finds itself in mountainous regions, especially south before the border to Tara and Altharia. Mostly they find themselves at ends with Leda - they had several battles with them in their history and it still holds old feelings in both nations.
 

Orange: Beles (the Belesians)

Capital City: Suton
Leader: Rodrigo Agenanno, Darius Agenanno
Main class types: Bard, Dancer, Pirate, Thief
 
Beles finds itself mostly on the Paritana Island though it is currently waging a war on their holdings on the Velosias Island just south of Paritana. Beles is the undeniable home of seafaring in the whole land of Rivesca, and even many of the other nations ships are constructed in Beles. Beles is one of the biggest tourist resorts in the land, with their capital Suton being home to plenty of markets and entertainers, dancers and musicians. They find themselves as mainly a merchant nation that has for the most part stayed out of other nations affairs, there have been some things to suggest that they are ambitious - there current war with the natives of Velosias Island and expansion more and more west on Paritana has made the other nations wonder if they are capable of a full-scale invasion with their vast wealth and navy.
 
Piracy is common in and around the seas surrounding Beles, so any ships into the area are often filled with mercenaries for safety. The Agenanno brothers lead Beles currently. They have had a few incidents with Vanaan and so there is definitely a feeling of resentment between the two nations, and Slaria's anxiety about their expansion has also raised a few questions.
 

Yellow: Vanaan (the Vanaans)

Capital City: Suaxules
Leader: Aqain Catho
Main class types: Arch Knight, Axe Knight, Hunter, Swordfighter
 
The Vanaans occupy the island Mauras, most of it filled with plains and dusty terrain. They are rather isolated from both their location and their diplomatic position from the rest of Rivesca. Most of the land they have was united under the horde leader Aqain Catho, who turned them from a collection of tribes into an actual force. They hold the majority of their power in the maturing city of Suaxules in the center of Maruas. Various tribes have allied against them to attack their borders repeatedly from the small parts of land that these tribes still control. They include the Loxorani in the northwest, the Varanna to southwest and the Dessau to the southeast. Despite the Vanaans power over these smaller tribes, their power was spread over a good part of land and the hit and run tactics were beginning to diminish the borders.
 
Aqain has decided to finally turn his attention to this, and so has mobilized his own army to wipe out the rebels after several attempts at diplomacy had failed. Vanaan generally does not keep in contact with any of the other nations and there have been a few scuffles between them and troops from Beles as well as uncertainty from both sides causing friction.
 

Green: Slaria (the Slarese)

Capital City: Coyetho
Leader: Queen Xeela Jenia, council of mages.
Main class types: Light Mage, Mage, Priest, Shaman
 
Slaria is often seen as the home of knowledge and the Observatory, the seat of mages is found to the very east peaks of Slaria. The mages of Slaria have been known to have immense magical affinity and power for centuries. It is known throughout the land that Slaria obtained its name through the hero Fayne Slara, who was said to have liberated humanity from their dragon masters with the help of the immensely powerful spell, Pallas Leia. She then established the lands of Slaria to unite humanity under a new light.
 
The leaders of Slaria have often passed between various mages throughout the ages but one theme is common - often the most knowledgable or capable mages are made into the rulers. Xeela Jenia is the current queen of Slaria. They are anxious about Beles expanding as they believe that with the amount their wealth and their mercenary power they could be a serious threat not just to Slaria but any other nation in Rivesca.

Red: Tara (the Tarans)

Capital City: Dahrall
Leader: Ascain Ismil
Main class types: Archer, Fighter, Mercenary
 
The Tarans have been dwellers in the Sena Desert for years, and they all know how to navigate its perilous conditions very well. They, along with the Altharians, were united under the empire of Otela before years of strife and corruption divided the two nations into east and west. There was a fierce war over the area before a ceasefire was reached recently and has holded ever since. The gulf in between the nations is known for being extremely dangerous with both bandits and deserters from the armies of Tara and Altharia having known settlements there.
 
Ascain Ismil is the current king of Tara having come to power through a revolution, violently disposing of the previous Losia family as rulers and ushering in an new age for the Tarans after the horrible conditions Tara was left in after the split from the Otela empire. While he has no experience as a king, Ascain has been know to be sly and cunning and certainly capable and charismatic. He signed the ceasefire with the Altharians as both nations have suffered greatly. With him as their ruler, the Tarans have enjoyed well-needed relief from their days of strife and try to live their days in peace. He seeks to reach out to the people of Altharia to also overthrow their current leader and perhaps join with Tara.
 

Purple: Altharia (the Altharians)

Capital City: Ekal
Leader: Serhiel Osta (?), various Dukes.
Main class types: Fighter, Free Knight, Lance Knight
 
While the Tarans are mainly located in the Sena Desert, Altharia finds its terrain to be more managable, with forests and lakes being strewn throughout the land. They, along with the Tarans, were united under the empire of Otela before years of strife and corruption divided the two nations into east and west. Corruption was rife in Serhiel's government before and after the split with Tara, which subsequently lead to the war against them that has now reached a necessary ceasefire. Serhiel has been forced to go into hiding as the citizens of Altharia have seen what the Tarans have done to overthrow the leaders after the split and are calling for Serhiel to answer for years of corruption and oppression.
 
While the people of Altharia are directing their angry at Serhiel and the oppression they have lived under for many years, Altharia does have strong cavalry units that hail from the region and they wish to reinstate their proud history of being a well-respected nation that they have lost recently with all the fighting with the Tarans and their own civil war that is currently happening between getting rid of Serhiel or attempting to unite both countries together with Tara once again, hoping Ascain will yield a more fruitful union.

Who Are The Players?
The players are part of a mercenary group in Tevakon who have recently been called up to have a mission from the royal family - there doesn't need to be a particular leader, and there doesn't need to a specific reason for you being in this mercenary group, but it seems like the easiest way to get everyone in and together quickly.

If you are a character joining the group later, I'll try to fit you in in various ways. You may start on the enemies side, in which case, I'll move you.

That's all I would say, you pretty much have freedom with the rest of your bio.

Calculations Changes

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Calculations will mostly be based on the GBA FE system, but there will be some exceptions. Note that everything will be in the 1RNG system.

There have been changes to Luck and Skill:
Skill now gives one critical per point instead of a critical point every two points of skill. Therefore a point of skill now gives two to accuracy and one crit.
Luck now gives one accuracy per point instead of an accuracy point every two points of luck. Therefore a point of luck now gives one to avoid, one to accuracy, and one to critical dodge.

Not really a calculation but Canto is active for mounted units and fliers. You can only attack and move, rescue and move, or use item then move. Units with Canto are also the only ones that can rescue and drop in the same turn.

AID is how much you need to rescue, and we're taking GBA FE for the base here, but I'm setting it so every character, male or female, that is mounted or a flier has (25-CON) as their Aid.

Effectiveness damage is 3x base Might of Weapon. And then you add that to your strength/magic.

Staff% is different from GBA.
{30 + [(Magic - enemy's Resistance) x 5] + Skill} - (Distance between units x 2)

Weapon Ranks
Weapon experience will be kept along with your other stats. You will gain weapon experience depending on that weapons value and this will contribute to your weapon rank just how it works in GBA.

Classes and Items
I'm going to be mainly putting everything up on excel spreadsheet for statistics and such. The classes that I am using are found at the following link as well as the item list. Since I haven't went through all of the item list and plan to add more later, I have only added the first few starting weapons. Everyone will be getting a "Slim" variant of their weapons or the basic tomes. All you need to know is that the current ones and probably many of the later weapons will be based off the FE8 stats for the weapons, with a few exceptions: Lances and bows are generally one weight lighter, and axes and dark tomes are generally two weight lighter. Keep in mind that con is static and higher weapon ranks do not reduce weight values. I'm hoping that most of the stats that I have right now I'm going to keep hopefully but I may change things later on if we get that far. Another thing to note is that mounted units generally have less benefits than dismounted units - this is to make up for the lack of movement and Canto is still quite useful for every mounted unit.

Death

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A character or NPC will go into a "downed" state if they lose all their HP. There is no limit for when you can pick them up.

Healing in this state will be half as effective. If you use a Heal staff, and you would normally heal for 17, that is divided in two and rounded down, becoming 8. They will be revived and will restore 8HP, but they cannot take an action this turn unless a Dancer or Bard performs for them. There may be limits for the amount of damage they can "go into the negative" with.

You can also use vulneraries (or any other healing item) to revive dead teammates, though they will also be half as effective. (As would be any healing item)

Any 'death' will be noted and take one off your "life" counter. You start with three, and if you get through a map without going down, then you would gain a point back.

Gold
Gold will be given to each character, in separate quantities. You can freely give gold and weapons/items between characters, however you will need to be adjacent to do so.

Affinities & Supports

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I will roll three times for different elements, and you will be able to choose one of these three.
Supports will be gained through roleplaying and have to be mutual between players. I will only let you have certain ranks at certain points in the RP.

The bonuses for supports are as follows:

Element    DMG   DEF   Hit     Eva     Crt     Dge
Fire        +0.5     0.0   +2.5    0.0    +5.0     0.0
Wind        0.0     0.0   +2.5   +2.5   +5.0     0.0
Anima     +1.0     0.0    0.0    0.0    +5.0     0.0
Light        0.0   +0.5   +2.5    0.0    +5.0     0.0
Dark       +0.5     0.0    0.0   +2.5   +5.0     0.0
Thunder    0.0   +0.5    0.0   +2.5    0.0    +5.0
Ice          0.0   +1.0    0.0    0.0     0.0    +5.0
Water     +0.5   +0.5    0.0    0.0     0.0    +5.0
Heaven     0.0     0.0   +5.0    0.0    0.0    +5.0
Earth        0.0     0.0    0.0   +5.0     0.0   +5.0

As per FE standards the bonus from your supports is based on the combined values of the bonuses you give, rounded down. For instance, if a character with a Thunder affinity and a Fire affinity supported each other...

  Damage         Defence                Hit             Evasion        Critical       Dodge
(0.5+0)=.5     (0+0.5)=.5      (2.5+0)=2.5     (0+2.5)=2.5     (5+0)=5     (0+5)=5

In this case, both characters would receive: +0 Damage, +0 Defence, +2 Hit, +2 Evasion, +5 Critical, and +5 Dodge (used to reduce opposing Critical Hits)

This would be for C Rank Support, so this would be double for B Rank and triple for A Rank. If the RP goes on long enough, I may introduce S Ranks.
There would be a limit to how many supports you could have.

Terrain
The terrain defense and evasion etc values will mainly be taken from GBA terrain data where it's applicable.

Experience & Level-ups.
Experience will be shared for all members of the party. When the exp pool hits 100, every player will receive a level at the end of that turn. Experience totals will be kept track off seperately, however, and there will be bonuses given out to especially good performances or awards at the end of chapters, so not everyone will constantly be on the same experience total.

Character Creation

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your chosen first class bases. You can add 4 to any stats apart from Movement (including Con, which will affect weight as well), but only to a maximum of 2 in a specific stat.
If you put 2 points into HP, Luck or Skill, however, they will give you +3 instead of +2. These are the only stats which do as such, and only on character creation. If you put one point in them, they will still only give +1.

After that, you have your growths. You have 285% to use.
You must put at least 40% in HP growth.
You can put 0% in Magic/Strength if this is not what your character uses (i.e Bandit and Magic)
For the rest of your stats, you will need to put at least 10% into them.

Hybrid characters: if you put at least 35% into both magic and strength, you will get a free extra 25% growths to place elsewhere. Also, hybrid characters that satisfy this same condition will gain the "Focus" skill, which is an activated ability which allows you to boost the lower of the two stats of strength and magic by 50% for three turns. You can use this twice per map.

Check the Character Sheet Example below for an example on how to format your sheet. If you want to, you can also create a portrait for your character, though it is not necessary.
Remember affinities will be rolled by me and you will get a choice of three.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Gailia Cosgrove
Age: 17
Appearance: A young girl that always seems to have a smile on her face. Tends to wear many layers of clothing that are loose, light and colourful, often with visible (and colourful) patches from where she had to repair or replace parts; she says it gives her clothing more "character".

Class: Apprentice

LCK: 2 20
DEF: 1 (50) (+1=2)
RES: 3 (40) (+1=4)
CON: 4
AID: 3
MOV: 4

Bio: Belonging to "The Church of the Smiling Saint" (also know as "The Church of the Smiling Goddess") Gailia believes the best way to do Good (as opposed to the grammatically incorrect action of doing good) is to make people happy, that the amount of happiness one causes and their goodness/Goodness are intertwined.
She was born from the marriage of an abbess and a "holy guard", a soldier of sorts that devote themselves to the protection of monasteries and such from bandits and invading armies (or armies in general).
From a somewhat early age she showed some ability with Light Magic, not much, mostly the ability to conjure balls of light and move them around; which considering her parentage wasn't surprising; however she did find her skills all that useful, especially compared to some of the others who could do amazing things with their orbs of light. It turns out however than having a father who's job partially revolves around fighting has it's uses, in this case he taught her how to use her powers to defend herself and others.
When she announced that she would go on a journey to spread happiness and find out about herself and all that malarkey her parents where overjoyed, after making sure she'd thought it through (getting eaten by wolves will do nobody but the wolves any good) they tearfully saw her off

On closer inspection of the classes I'll probably go Apprentice -> Light Mage -> Valkyrie

[darkpaladin109]

Hmm, Anima or Wind...
Well, Random.ORG rolled lower than 50, so Anima it is.

[Kelsper]

I should note that I'm also rolling a con growth between 1-5% for everyone - it's not much, but maybe it'll proc someday! Both of the signups so far got 3%.

Swordstar's character is fine and picked Anima as well.

[xelada]

Made my submission, check my original post.
Also why not give us all 5%, that way none of us start off better than others?

[Kelsper]

1. Earth
2. Thunder
3. Water

I can set everyones con growth at 3% if you want, was just thinking of rolling to see some variation. It's not as if it'll make any significant difference either way.

[xelada]

I'll take Earth.
I find 3% an odd percentage, all other percentages on FE Character Sheets tend to be multiples of 5%.

Bio: Irios was orphaned at an early age and spent most of his time sitting either on the streets or in taverns, listening the tales of the common man. Eventually he learned to craft them into miniature epics, using his magical ability to enhance the story. He told them to all who would listen and often receiving scraps of food and pocket change for his efforts but never anything more. Eventually he grew disillusioned with the life of a vagrant in Suton so he began wandering, hoping to find a place where he could either settle down or at least where the people handed out more than scraps of food. Eventually he found himself working as a mercenary in Tevakon.
