Fire Emblem: Ascension

[Apollosarcher]

I'd something a little lighthearted, maybe more towards the style of Sacred Stones or Awakening? A grand mission of sorts that we receive after being together as a group for awhile.

[AquaAzura]

Yeah I think going with a bit of lightheartedness RP would be good, but you shouldn't make it to light and add darker stuff in it. And I have a couple ideas for a couple custom classes will there be custom skills?

[Eisenhorn]

Hmm, I can think of stuff for a custom class too, really. Might be some overlap, depending on what ideas Aqua has, but definitely an interesting thought. And I'm fine with whatever story that ends up taking place, really, light of heart or otherwise.

[Corporal Lance]

@AquaAzura

Sort of. Custom skills will come in a few flavors, but will essentially be a class feature. For instance, if you're a Pegasus Rider you would start with a "Mounted Combat" skill that would let you fight from horseback. This would be significant in the sense that you could dismount and be no less effective, but each skill should be a general feature of the class that makes the class stand out. Pending approval, of course, can't have skills that break the game.

[Penultimate_Pi]

Well, as of the time of writing, Lance and I have agreed on an overarching plot. To give a brief taste:

In typical Fire Emblem fashion, one of the continent's greatest nations takes a grim turn when they suddenly go on a rampant crusade. The emperor leading the forces has made clear their intentions to claim the Fire Emblem. At this time, the player characters are all mercenaries or other individuals within a small caravan that gets caught up in the ensuing conflict, as bandits and soldiers begin to invade.

As you protect yourselves from various foes, you are eventually hailed by the keepers of the Fire Emblem and given the task to help protect it. The party will engage in guerrilla skirmishes to fight back against the invaders, uncover the evil emperor's plan, and personally put an end to this sudden dastardly war.

Of course, this is only the first act, in what is shaping out to potentially be an epic story with amazing twists and a far more sinister plot, culminating in a battle worthy to go down in all of history.
So, what do you think?

[Eisenhorn]

I am game for that, sure as sure. I can dig the whole aspect of a guerrilla approach to fighting back against this larger and numerically superior force, for the first act.

[AquaAzura]

That sounds interesting. How many characters can we make each?

[Corporal Lance]

Depending on group size I'd say that 2 is a good round number. Thoughts, @Penultimate_Pi?

[Penultimate_Pi]

It would depend on group size, yes. For the sake of simplicity, though, it might be best to start with just one character apiece. If we end up with a deficit of characters, or some other player wants to join later on, we can always introduce characters into the party via traditional Fire Emblem recruitment.

I'm interested in playing in this if you're willing to have me.

@Penultimate_Pi
As I stated earlier, I have quite a large amount of not only GM experience, but Fire Emblem rp experience. If possible I would like to contribute as a 3rd GM, not just a player with ideas.

If you want, I will link the (now dead) FE battle rp I created (from scratch and single-handed). I actually have rebuilt it mechanically and I'm testing it on Facebook with some close friends.

EDIT:
If you want to keep the story and world your own, then I would be just fine with working only on mechanics, such as classes, battle, maps, skills and stats.

[Sagittarius]

I might join in.

@Light

@Penultimate_Pi Actually came up with a pretty awesome setting and plot after me, @Corporal Lance and him discussed one. Though with your GM experience it would be nice to have you on the team.

[Light]

@Jinxlynx
Yeah, I'm alright with only the mechanics. There's a lot of potential in this thread and I only want to add to it.

[AquaAzura]

The class I'm thinking of making would be called the Vagabond which would use Lances and Staves, Skills would be (Passive-Aggressive) Critical Hit + 10 if enemy initiates a battle, (Escape Chance) If unit doesn't defeat an enemy they're able to use a half action (Think Canto in the older games) to escape from an enemy.

[Light]

So is this happening or what?

@AquaAzura
That seems cool. Do you want to see all the classes I came up with when I made my game?

[AquaAzura]

@Light thanks~
Sure I would like to see it

This is a Beta of sorts. The "Player Armies" folder is a list of my friends and I who are testing it out. But it IS play-ready, we can use it here if the GM's will let me be a GM as well.

[AquaAzura]

@Corporal Lance Do you see anything wrong with the Skills?

@Light It's pretty cool, good attention to detail.

@AquaAzura
Thank you
