[OOC] The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

Life in Akkad is harsh. . .

'They have made you swear by heaven and earth,
										By heaven and earth,
											Thy will is rock, thy brow held high,
												Thy soles run rash, thy blood run dry,
													They have made you swear by sand and sky.'
															- An unknown soldier

Far from the flowing silver and azure streets of Uruk, the Hellions of Gir, eek out a meager existence, subsisting on the even more meager Aurums that grease their palms and oil their blades. On hardtack and smoked fats, their bellies rumble while a few bronze coins jangle across their strings and belts, clattering on their tarnished mail as they make their long march through the dry heat of the Zagros Mountains.

On another fools errand, another great break, another goose chase the captain set them on that'd fill their stomachs with aged old wine, the good stuff.

A strange twist of fate that while the realm is peaceful, prospering under just rule, the soldiers and retired veterans who propped it all up upon their valorous shoulders now languish across the dunes. A score and a couple, in dire straits search for a pittance of coin guarding greedy merchants, slashing a handful of throats, or sallying after strange recluses strapped for cash themselves, hellbent on whatever untold lore they'd uncovered this week.

This job's the latter. . .


The Akkadian Empire. . .

. . . Is a land of great priests and philosopher kings, touted as the very first of its kind. Just as its Lugal - 𒈗 - Or Emperor if you will, is decidedly the first of his. To use the words of the Ensi, the kings of city-states beneath the great Lugal; 'Of eminence there is no equal, from the Lower Sea to the Upper Sea. The totality of all lands under Heaven are subject to his methodical rule. From sunrise to sunset, it is no wonder he is called šar kiššati, lord of the universe.'

A gross and overwhelming exaggeration to be sure, but it can be said no other has found themselves with such a vast domain, nor power. Yet, with such great a canyon's breadth, so too grow the cracks and crevices, easier for man to slip into unnoticed.

With such rapid expansion, marching upon the barley filled stomachs of an unmatched force, Akkadia was able to secure its name in all the legends of the Earth. Soon of course, none challenged its majesty, and the need for a standing army fell into disparity. So too the men and women it left behind. . .


The Hellions of Gir

Twenty-two of such downtrodden folk, a loose-knit band of sellswords often tenuously allied. Regardless, the men, women, and few young-lings of the Hellions fly under the same banner. Old soldiers, brigands making a turn, thieves, and all manner of sallow folk who can so much as carry a blade.


THE CRUNCH


This roleplay will be a marriage between traditional long-form forum based RP as well as tactical RPG-like mechanics based on the Fire Emblem series, albeit with some modifications to better suit the format. Due to the free-form nature of roleplay think of the following mechanics to be more like strong guidelines that can be bent to some degree as well as more than open to additions and alterations by the playerbase, or even as you read further on, adding more content such as equipment or traits.

I will be taking the roll of a pseudo-GM as it were, mostly just arbitrating dice rolls and the like for a smooth, consistent game. Similarly I will be creating at the very least starting scenarios from which we collectively branch off on, or even rotate GMing between. In all cases, any potential GM is just as free to play a character like any other, provided they do so solemnly swear not to cheese the dice!

With all that aside, in a general sense beyond what one expects out of the usual forum based RP, gameplay, and more specifically combat will take place on handmade sets of maps bashed together from the assets of the GBA Fire Emblem games as well as custom made assets thereafter. Maps will be grid based and labeled on both sides by letter and by numeral in order to easily communicate locations.

A small example
   1  2  3  4
A|__|__|__|__|
B|__|__|__|__|
C|__|__|__|__|
D|__|__|__|__|

Similarly, character sprites and portraits will be created through a combination of bashing assets together as well as custom edits. The only requirement for sprites that will be used on the map screens is that they are 16x16 pixels in dimension.

During combat, players will denote their actions specifically at the end of their post, after whatever flavor they've cooked up before hand; 
'Alicia dashes forward with a mighty lunge, to pierce through the dark knight's gloomy mail.'
Alicia moves three tiles to D-12, and attacks the dark knight with her bronze lance.

This is generally fully under the banner of 'commands', particular actions in most cases can only be taken but once per turn after movement. Commands are as follows:
ATTACK -- Choose a weapon or spell and engage in battle with a target within range.
ASSIST -- Choose a relevant spell or ability that does not involve battle to cast. Generally support magic.
ITEM -- Choose an item within your inventory to use.
WAIT -- Do nothing after your movement, useful only when a character bears traits that modify it.
RESCUE -- Mounted units, or units with certain traits may carry an ally to safety. After doing so they may place the unit anywhere adjacent to them at the end of their movement.

Combat and other encounter scenarios will always take place in two phases, back and forth. The player phase and the opposition phase. In some edge cases there may be a third (or more) phase for factions who are neither friend nor foe. After every player has determined and posted their actions, they will be resolved by the GM and the next phase will begin.

Terrain, or the geographical typography of a tile will affect many statsitics during combat, leaving the shrewd company and good scouting a great advantage should they choose to utilize it. Effects of different terrains are as follows.

DEF and AVO bonuses: benefits granted to units that fight while standing on these terrains

Heal: amount of VIT restored to a unit that starts its turn on these terrains

Move cost: amount of movement expended when moving onto these terrains

All characters, monsters, and such are built from the same seven principle statistics that determine their effectiveness in a number of ways. They are detailed as such:

VITALITY (VIT) -- A character's measure of endurance, of health and stamina. It is the sole factor when it comes to combat by which a character's gauge of injury and life are considered. Damage received is subtracted from this stat. If (and when) a character's Vitality reaches zero, they are dead.

MIGHT (MGT) -- A character's measure of physical strength and prowess. A mighty character may be heavily muscled or perhaps bear the will and adrenaline to squeeze out every ounce of human vigor when it comes down to it. This statistic directly affects a character's physical damage, such as swinging an axe. Every five points of strength reduces equipment weight by one.

SKILL (SKI) -- A general determinant of your character's competency and acumen. Both in combat, by their grace, dexterity, finesse, and overall technique. But also beyond, such as their propensity for training and their grasp for the basics. This statistic primarily affects a character's accuracy or chance to hit / succeed in a maneuver in all forms of combat. As well as modifying the chance to critically hit slightly.

SPEED (SPD) -- Your character's deftness, their fleet of foot and tact. Affects a character's ability to strike more than once within a single action, provided they out-speed their opponent more than a certain degree. Similarly increases a character's chance to avoid, parry, riposte, or otherwise avoid an attack sent their way. Weight of all in-use equipment is subtracted from your speed.

SPIRIT (SRT) -- The prior four statistics concern the physical world, but there is ever so much more to a character. Spirit is a one half of a character's force of will, their attunement with the makeup of life and the piety of their soul. Man does not readily understand the glyphic language of the gods, but a character with a great spirit may glean the basic fibers and grammar. Using this innate comprehension, they are able to simultaneously resist the affects of harmful magicks, while also making better use of incantations regarding creation, life, and the natural world.

MIND (MND) -- If a strong spirit is to work within the divine structure that the gods have laid out for man, then a strong mind is to reach beyond. To tear that mystical foundation down to a logical, reasoning basis. And to weave those glyphic powers to your beck and call. This statistic has a minor benefit to the resistance of unknowable mystic spells much like spirit, as well as to greatly empower one's ability to wield them. Often falling under the banner of dark magicks, they are often harmful effects such as casting a gout of flame from one's fingertips or calling upon a bolt from the blue. It should be warned that those skilled in both magicks and of strong mind draw attention from forces beyond the realm of the divine, for even laymen or dabblers in such powers can sense when another draws near.

LUCK (LUK) -- All character's have a place in the interwoven thread of fate, some more favorable than others. Luck is a determinant of that place in the predetermined, and whether a character can tug their threads just a little beyond its natural place of rest. This statistic has a general yet usually small affects on a number of others. Such as chance to critically hit, accuracy, avoidance, and so on.

Secondary Statistics
ACCURACY (ACC) -- The final sum of which is your percent chance to strike true in an engagement.
AVOIDANCE (AVO) -- The final sum of which is subtracted from a foe's ACC to strike you.
WEIGHT (WGT) -- The final sum of which from equipment is subtracted from your character's speed. Every five points of MGT reduces individual equipment weight by one.
Formulas regarding the specifics of how each statistic is considered in the mechanics are detailed later on this page.
MOVEMENT (MVT) -- The number of tiles by which a character can move. Like with engaging in combat, all measurements are made first by the four cardinal directions. Meaning a diagonal movement requires two tiles to be crossed. All characters begin play with their movement statistic at six.



All characters are assumed to bear skill and merit in some form of wheelhouse. The rating at which they are considered proficient from least to most is as follows; E, D, C, B, A, S. For the nature of this game, only proficiency with regards to combat will be considered, and are detailed along with the 'weapon triangle' as follows:

SWORD/BLADE 
All manner of swords or bladed weapons, from the claymore to the khopesh, to daggers and knives. These are generally the most accurate of the three melee classes, yet least damaging, it is also extremely seldom that any blades attack beyond adjacent tiles. The grace and poise of blades are at an advantage against those who wield the more lumbering and heavy axes or blunt weapons.
E: -10 Accuracy / -2 Might
D: -5 Accuracy / -1 Might
C: +0 Accuracy / +0 Might
B: +5 Accuracy / +1 Might
A: +10 Accuracy / +2 Might
S: +20 Accuracy / +4 Might

LANCE/POLEARM
The most common weapon of war used from even the most ancient of times. Spears, halberds, bill-hooks and all, any manner of long pokey/bladed weapons fall under this class. It is the most balanced of the three, neither overwhelmingly powerful, nor accurate, somewhere in between. Those who employ a polearm find that the reach and ease of use are advantageous against those who bear blades.
E: -15 Accuracy / -1 Might
D: -10 Accuracy / -0 Might
C: -5 Accuracy / +1 Might
B: +0 Accuracy / +2 Might
A: +5 Accuracy / +3 Might
S: +15 Accuracy / +5 Might

AXE/BLUNT
The most powerful when it comes purely to wrecking force, from great axes to flails to the simple club, all of which can splinter shields and crush through armor. Against lances and polearms, this class of weapon's great weight can easily find an opening to batter away their opponents and find an opening, giving them the advantage against such.
E: -20 Accuracy / -0 Might
D: -15 Accuracy / +1 Might
C: -10 Accuracy / +2 Might
B: -5 Accuracy / +3 Might
A: +0 Accuracy / +4 Might
S: +10 Accuracy / +6 Might

The aforementioned three classes of weapon, by which all manner of melee will fall into, are contained within what is called the 'Weapon Triangle'. Each class having both an advantage and disadvantage against another.
Sword > Axe > Lance > Sword
Through this, an attacker with the advantage in a combat engagement will accrue a bonus of +20 Accuracy / +1 Might. While one with disadvantage is affected by a malus of -20 Accuracy / -1 Might.

BOWS/RANGED
This class of weaponry are beyond the triangle, and include a versatile number of equipment. Longbows, Crossbows, Slings and the like are found under this banner. All of which have an attack range beyond adjacent tiles.
E: -20 Accuracy / -2 Might
D: -10 Accuracy / -1 Might
C: +5 Accuracy / +0 Might
B: +10 Accuracy / +1 Might
A: +20 Accuracy / +2 Might
S: +30 Accuracy / +3 Might

THEURGY
Rolling the bones, reading the signs, deciphering the words of the unknowable gods; To be skilled in Theurgy is to have an understanding, whether innate or through great study of the language of gods from which their awesome powers of creation are stemmed from. While not explicitly handed down to man, Theurgs remain and work rigidly within the divine structure as it is laid out. The greatest of Theurgs are wise sages and philosophers with booming voices and unshakable spirits. Incantations are oft' spoken in few words, methodically and purposefully.
E: -20 Accuracy / -2 Might
D: -10 Accuracy / -1 Might
C: +5 Accuracy / +0 Might
B: +10 Accuracy / +1 Might
A: +20 Accuracy / +2 Might
S: +30 Accuracy / +4 Might

MYSTICISM
There are secrets inlaid deep within divine grammar, spoken in whispers and twisted into new vocabulary. Mystics grasp at the impossible contractions beyond the purview of the gods. Indeed it is not often that those pursuing a mystic path use their knowledge for creation like that of Theurgy. Self actualization and taking hold of destiny beyond divine plans all the way up to shedding destruction across the land; this is not to say that Mystics are 'evil' or beyond the pale. But they are oft' looked upon with disdain or fear, for when they tap into words un-uttered they become a locus for the vile gaze of beings similarly ominous. A Mystic all the same will find that they develop a preternatural sense for other Mystics.
E: -15 Accuracy/ -3 Might
D: -10 Accuracy/ -1 Might
C: -5 Accuracy/ +0 Might
B: +10 Accuracy/ +2 Might
A: +15 Accuracy/ +4 Might
S: +25 Accuracy/ +6 Might

All proficiencies may be increased to the next letter rank through use. Each rating has a threshold of 'Weapon Experience' a character must reach in order to advance to the next rank. Each successful attack or cast if a spell will increase a character's weapon experience by a single point. Thresholds for each rank are detailed as such.

E - 30 -> D
D - 40 -> C
C - 55 -> B
B - 70 -> A
A - 100 - > S


Firstly, before any numbers and mechanics enter into, know your character. Who they are, where they've come from, where the intend to go. I do not ask for paragraphs upon paragraphs of backstory by any means, (especially when this setting is not so fleshed out.) but only that you've a proper idea of who your character is. After all, while the tactical combat will likely be the main thrust of this game, it remains an RP still. With that said, character creation is detailed hereon. 

Allocating Statistics
All characters that begin play at first level of experience are allowed 30 points by which to allocate to the aforementioned statistics, none may exceed fifteen at the start (which is not counted), while all aside from SRT and MND must begin with a minimum of one point. On that note, VIT starts with a value of 15.

Allocating Growth Rates
All characters grow in experience as the game moves forward, by which is simply measured on a scale from zero to one hundred. Once a character gains experience points equal to one hundred, through all manner of combat engagement, weaving of spells, training, RP, or otherwise, they move up to the next level and are potentially rewarded with greater statistics. Each statistic is given a percent chance on character creation that is tested with each level, with luck a character gains one point added to said stats. Though this value can increase if a growth rate is set above one hundred percent. All characters may allocate from a pool 300% points to each stat. VIT must begin with 20% while all others must have at least 5%. Thus leaving 250% readily available.

Assigning Masteries
All characters are assumed to be skilled in something. While simultaneously not being locked out from trying new things. As of such, you begin play with one proficiency of C-Rank, and another of D-Rank. All others begin at E-Rank, the only caveats are Theurgy and Mysticsm, both are considered rare skills that could not so easily be picked up by anyone who is uninclined, thus if they are not selected, they begin without a rank at all. It is not to say they cannot be improved later however. 

Furthermore, due to the time and effort required to learn either, they may only begin at D-Rank, and if you should choose to do so, any other weapon skills must also being at D-rank.
As an example; Gericht is a character beginning at level one. If one were to select both Mysticism and Theurgy, then one begins at D-Rank and the other must be E-Rank.

| VIT -- 16 | 50% |
| MGT -- 4 | 60% |
| SKI -- 7 | 45% |
| SPD -- 6 | 30% |
| SRT -- 1 | 25% |
| MND -- 5 | 60% |
| LUK -- 6 | 30% |
------------
| TOT -- 30/30 | 300/300% | 

BLADES -- D
POLEARMS -- E
AXES/BLUNT -- E
BOWS/RANGED -- E
THEURGY -- N/A
MYSTICISM -- D

Despite bearing little physical bulk as of yet, he shows great potential to grow toward that affect, while his finesse and quickness eventually are outpaced, all while showing a large aptitude toward Mysticism as he advances. So too does Gericht bear minor skill in both bladecraft and mysticism.


Aurums are the currency of Akkadia. It is a mixed coinage system of six-inch metal circles/shapes that are most often found bound together on strings and ropes. The usual value of which tend to follow the use and rarity of the same metals with regards to their use in warfare.

Copper - 1 AU
Bronze - 5 AU
Iron - 20 AU
Silver - 50 AU
Gold - 100 AU

Characters will begin play each with 650 Aurums in order to purchase their starting equipment.


Weapons as detailed hereafter are broken up by class and further by type or build. The separation of different values are by metal composition always in this order; Bronze / Iron / Silver

A weapon's might is added to that of the wielder when used in combat. Accuracy determines the baseline percentage unmodified for that weapon's chance to hit. Weight is subtracted from the wielder's speed when primarily equipped. Cost is the average price in Aurums said weapon is purchased for. Condition is the number of attacks a weapon may make before it requires repair. While range is the number of tiles in distance it can attack from. And the special category will include any additional affects or traits appended to the weapon.

Weapon names have been generic-ified where possible in order to give more freedom as to how they are used in terms of flavor. While more specific weapons, such as 'Khopesh' or 'Xiphos' will be given to more unique/rare or even magical weapons of the type.

Without special traits, a character may bear only five pieces of equipment. So they must choose very wisely as to what they bring. Multiple weapons for versatility? Armors and shields for maximum protection? Or Perhaps a number of useful items and gears for when they are needed most. . .

Spells, sorcery, magic, the arcane. . . Whatever you call you call powers beyond the realm of the mortals; yet even so they are not unlike a sword or shield, a means by which mankind has gripped elements of reality and shaped them, bent all their will upon, and forged tools for striking out their own destiny. 

In this sense, a spell or better yet, 'Incantation' is some small piece of the unknowable 'Language of Gods', a glyphic and wholly indecipherable form of text found passed down throughout the world. Divinely inspired, it is believed that they whom are most pious have been left a fragment of creation, by which they have been given to carry out the will of the heavens even as the gods slumber. This has been found to more often than not be reality. For there are many whom use these powerful runes to speak 'Black Words' for selfish means.

Whether Theurgy, working within the grammatic structure that has been laid out for man. Or Mysticism, studying and piecing together the language into an ever expanding vocabulary of incantations. Both require glyphs to be inscribed upon a medium. These mediums take the form of ancient scrolls, staves, totems and loci of power, crystalline spheres, bones, even tattoos. So long as the medium bears some connection with the glyph and incantation, then the word or phrase can be uttered, springing the magic to life. 

Thus the 'condition' statistic, much like with a sword or spear, mechanically represents the number of uses one may get out of an incantation before the unstable divine power wears away the medium or ink. Requiring a Theurg or Mystic to spend Aurums finding new materials and special components to put together a new medium or inscribing a new glyph. 

There is but one exception to this; 'Grave Magick' some call it; for callus misuse thereof will swiftly whisk ones life away. While generally considered a subset of Mysticism, it is more accurate to say it is something else entirely. Grave Magicks do not draw power from mythic runes or glyphs, it comes from within. The blood, the flesh, the inner-most makings of man are what fuels such incantations. As of such, only those with connections to death as it were find they are inclined to wield Grave Magicks. And they are just as reviled, if not more so than egoist Mystics. Yet. . . Isn't there something to be said about those who seize their fate beyond the reach of the gods? Something admirable.
