Beginners FEF


     Welcome to Beginners FEF, a game meant as an introduction for players new to the FEF series of forum games. In comparison to a normal FEF, Beginner’s FEF is built to be much shorter than the usual campaign, taking place over the course of a mere five chapters.

     FEF, standing for Fire Emblem on Forums, is as the name implies, a forum game built off the mechanics and themes of Nintendo’s Fire Emblem tactical RPG series. As such, it features several hallmarks of the franchise, including the concepts of character development and interpersonal bonds having effects in battle, the class system, and of course permadeath (Though a less harsh version due to the nature of the game).
   
     It is currently planned for there to be 8 player characters in the party in total. To help guide the newer players, a system similar to Haspen’s old NEF series shall be used in Beginners FEF. Along with the 6 newcomers in the main player list, there shall be two slots reserved for veteran FEF players who will help guide and advise the newcomers as they progress through the game. However, it is asked that the veteran players please abstain from planning out the entire parties moves for them, unless an emergency situation arises to necessitate it.

The party will be starting as a group of mercenaries hired to escort a merchant across the country of Napelli, so applicants should keep that in mind while writing their character bio.

The official FEF IRC channel can be found on the server irc.darkmyst.net at the channel #feftalk
Players Handbook 1.3
As it is currently the most popularly used version of the rules, Beginner’s FEF shall be primarily using an adjusted version of the Fire Emblem: The Further Journeys Handbook version 1.3 which can be downloaded from the link above.

Character Creation
Character Sheet Template
Example Sheet

Characters are to be created as described within the player’s handbook, with a 335% progression total and 4 extra stat points to be distributed upon creation. Again, please check the rule changes listed further up above in this post before creating your character.
Leave the Affinity section of the character sheet blank, as you will be given a choice from a randomly chosen pair once your character has been accepted into the game.

Please note that in this game characters will be starting from First Tier Classes, as opposed to Trainee Classes.

Mugs

When playing FEF, its common practice to have a set of mugs or “mugshots” to represent your character. While not truly necessary to play the game, the mug sets can aid in expressiveness and are considered to a large part of the fun of FEF. These mugs typically take the form of edited and spliced together versions of Fire Emblem character portraits made using image editing software. More specifically from the Gameboy Advanced entries of the Fire Emblem series.

 For example.


Links to obtain the base sprites are listed below.
Fire Emblem 6 Mugshots
Fire Emblem 7 Mugshots
Fire Emblem 8 Mugshots. (Note, uses a different color pallet than the previous two)

If you consider yourself artistically unskilled or are unfamiliar with working with sprites and pixel arts, don’t be afraid. There are many people in the FEF community who are very happy to offer advice or help in making mugs for other players. If you need help, just post a request in this OOC thread or in the FEF Hub Thread.
   
As a last note, please don’t use somebody else’s spritework in your mug without gaining their permission in some way beforehand. Tis rude and will get people very angry at you if you do.



Character List

Character sheets shall be accepted based on level of experience and quality of the submitted sheet, along with the need to create a balanced party. Outside of the veteran slots, generally players with zero or very little FEF experience will be given priority over those who haven’t.
The term Veteran as referred to here isn't very stictly defined, but a nice rule of thumb would be someone who has played through and completed at least three FEF chapters in the same campaign depending on participation level. Someone who once entered an FEF that died out after a chapter or two is not considered a veteran for the purposes of this game, so please don’t feel discouraged.

I'd apply for a veteran slot, as a Thief. Sheet soon.

Also, if we're starting at first class we actually have 335% to spend;
Quote from: The 'About Stats and Progressions' page
If your group skips the Trainee Stage, each player adds the 5 additional points they would've gotten from promotion to First Class to their starting growth rates.

As AbstractTraitorHero has decided to play a Scavenger, I decided to play a Dancer to avoid class overlap.

Sheet.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

Absion is more warlike, while Elmerit has a strong sense of making sure to know how to defend yourself in their culture.

Hey, uh, Furtuka, did you copy the modifications list from a game run on a different version? Awareness is already free and Reinforce doesn't exist, at least in the PDF you linked.
