Once there was a world in which giant beasts roamed the land. The beasts, known as Gaiakin, would destroy and consume all in their path. Humanity cowered in their wake, occasionally managing small victories against them, but in the end were caught in a cycle of destruction. Until one day...

A Gaiakin in the form of a towering fanged beast made of stone, attacked a certain village. The inhabitants, with the help of a talented wandering mage, fought back against it. It was a long and deadly battle, and by the end a large portion of the village was laid waste, but somehow through pure luck, the beast was brought down, its body shattered into pieces. As the villagers toiled to rebuild what they had lost, the mage examined the remains, and to his horror he realized that the creature was still alive. His first instinct of course, was to destroy all that was left of it, but some strange impulse stopped him. Suddenly, a mad, wondrous idea gripped his mind. With the cooperation of the villagers, master craftsmen and smiths, they rebuilt the body of the Gaiakin with iron and magic, but thanks to powerful spells crafted by the mage, it was under his control. So began the tale of the first Emperor Arthrus, and the first Argoth Avendas.

With the power of Avendas behind him, Arthrus united the people of the land, and created the Arthoran Empire, which would stand for over 700 years. People crafted new Argoths from metal and stone in imitation of Avendas, and used them to fight back against the Gaiakin. As the ages passed nine other Gaiakin were captured and rebuilt, becoming the ten living Argoths, the ultimate power of the Empire. Unlike the metal Argoths forged in their image, the 10 living Argoths possessed incredible power, owing to their origins and intelligence.

The empire withstood countless threats, invasion, rebellions, and unimaginably powerful Gaiakin.  But then one day it collapsed. The reasons for its fall are shrouded in mystery, and for the next 300 years its land, and eventually the rest of the world,descended into chaos, from which few records would survive. But the people rebuilt, and today they stand on the cusp of regaining their former greatness...

Nah, I don't plan anything after FEF2. Possibly will go back to sci-fi games and mecha.

Is there a Mecha Fire Emblem somewhere I can spy on?

I'm working on it! But not in the way you spoke. Hmmmm I should consider that. I have the perfect setting and all...

But it's probably a year off or something XD

And for once I actually manage to underestimate myself. Yay.

So yeah, this is a forum game using a Medieval Fantasy - Mecha fusion setting I've been working with for about... 4 years now? The game will be using the FEF system, but the classes and items and such have all be replaced to accommodate the setting. Since a lot of stuff was statted from scratch, some of them may be altered mid game to deal with balancing issues if it pops up. So yeah here we go!

Spoiler: Other important Notes (click to show/hide)

-You will be starting off as a group of rookies and mercenaries assigned with defending a town in Northeastern Tresk.
-Will be taking 5-7 players to start with. More characters will be added in later chapters.
-Death shall be handled by when a PC or allied named NPC is brought down to 0 HP, there will be a 1d3 window of turns for them to be revived. If time runs out they explode and the death becomes permanent.
-If you make a talksprite featuring your Argoth along with one for your character, then I figure I might as well mention that the rule I'm using with the bosses talksprites is using their Argoth sprites when speaking in battle against someone who they don't have a direct communication with.
-The first chapter will be using a... well experimental setup, so just be prepared for it to be kinda weird.
-The Fortress class refers to a humanoid torso mounted atop a lowerbody with multiple pairs of legs in a crablike formation.

Stating interest, running character.exe now.

It will be a Scavenger.

Also how will Elementalist cast some spells if they can't stand on Mountain, Cliffs and Water?

[Furtuka]

There's some equipment I forgot to add to the rulebook. Fixing that now. It's in the list as a just in case sorta thing.

[Twi]

PTW. Might join, might not. Time constraints and whatnot.

[Powder Miner]

[Nerjin]

In

Making the character sheet as we speak.

[Nerjin]

Nevermind. I'm not really understanding the sheet. I'll be watching though.

[Furtuka]

What's are you not understanding?

[Nerjin]

Base points of states. I'm not a Fire Emblem player so maybe a spin-off game wasn't the best place to start but that threw me off. Furthermore stat progression. I'm not getting that.

Then personal skills and flaws. On second look that one makes a bit of sense.

Lastly weapon proficiencies. Is that just the base ones of the class or there more to it?

Edit: Never mind. I figured it all out weapon profeciences and base stats. Still don't understand the other stuff though.

[Furtuka]

Base points of states. I'm not a Fire Emblem player so maybe a spin-off game wasn't the best place to start but that threw me off.

Ah. On the class sheet it should have the starting stats listed underneath each class. You copy those onto your sheet and then distribute 4 extra points among them. The progression rates are percentages that determine how likely it is for each of your stats to go up when you level up.

Then personal skills and flaws. On second look that one makes a bit of sense.

Ah yeah I should probably have explained that better for people who haven't done FEF before. They're minor abilities like "+15 to Hit when attacking a unit of the X Class or its promotions" Or "+1 to AT and DEF when hp is below 70%"

Lastly weapon proficiencies. Is that just the base ones of the class or there more to it?

Yeah it's the base ones of the class.

[evilcherry]

Placehold. Deadline day is so hard to get over. I needa sleep but I couldn't...

[Nerjin]

So is there an overall number limit of my chances for a stat to go up or are we just supposed to be sportsman about it?

[Furtuka]

Do you mean stat caps or do you mean if the percentages say you roll nothing?

If you don't roll anything then your preferred stats automatically go up instead.

[Haspen]

* Haspen lurks.

[Powder Miner]

You have 330 percentage points to spend upon progressions.
