Before this Quest begins, I want to mention that @Arthellion's Star Wars: The Chosen One Quest inspired me to start a Quest in this system, however, I wanted to make a Fantasy Quest with this idea before that. Seeing him use a D20 system in a Star Wars setting inspired me to check out how D20 works and now I want to try it out and experiment with it. That said, make sure to go and check his Quest out if you haven't.
SELECT MODULE:
[] Show Rolls: You get to see how badly the Random Number God fucked you over, or how much of his mercy he has shown you for the time being.
[] Don't Show Rolls: Gives everything a more mysterious feel. You never know when you're actually failing or winning. A hint of realism.
There are many children with potential out in the mortal plane. Each one of them is unique. However, almost all of them remain unaware of the threads of fate that run through the universe. They are the fabric upon which everything is built. And the weave of fate has chosen you and blessed you with a destiny and purpose. You will become a legend.
CHARACTER GENERATION
20 Fate to spend.
RACE
[] Human.
[] Orc.
[] Lizardman
[] Elf.
-[] Drow.
-[] Wood Elf.
[] Half-Elf.
[] Half-Orc.
[] Dwarf.
[] Cambion. (-3 Fate.)
[] Nephilim. (-3 Fate.)
[] Demigod. (-10 Fate.)
WEALTH & LIFESTYLE (note: only select the first word, like "wretched" or "royal" to make the vote tally a bit more tolerable to the eyes.)
[] Wretched.
You live in inhumane conditions. With no place to call home, you shelter wherever you can, sneaking into barns, huddling in old crates, and relying on the good graces of people better off than you. A wretched lifestyle presents abundant dangers. (+2 Fate. Gain Trait: Hardened.)
[] Squalid.
You live in a leaky stable, a mud-floored hut just outside town, or a vermin-infested boarding house in the worst part of town. You have shelter from the elements, but you live in a desperate and often violent environment, in places rife with disease, hunger, and misfortune. (Gain Trait: Hardened.)
[] Poor.
A poor lifestyle means going without the comforts available in a stable community. Simple food and lodgings, threadbare clothing, and unpredictable conditions result in a sufficient, though probably unpleasant experience. Your accommodations might be a room in a flophouse or in the common room above a tavern. (-1 Fate.)
[] Modest.
A modest lifestyle keeps you out of the slum. You live in an older part of town, renting a room in a boarding house, inn, or temple. You don't go hungry or thirsty, and your living conditions are clean, if simple. (-2 Fate.)
[] Comfortable.
A comfortable lifestyle means that you can afford nicer clothing and can easily maintain your equipment. You live in a small cottage in a middle-class neighborhood or in a private room at a fine inn. (-4 Fate.)
[] Wealthy.
A wealthy lifestyle means living a life of luxury. You have respectable lodgings, usually a spacious home in a good part of town or a comfortable suite at a fine inn. You likely have a small staff of servants. (-6 Fate.)
[] Aristocratic.
You live a life of plenty and comfort. You move in circles populated by the most powerful people in the community. You have excellent lodgings, perhaps a townhouse in the nicest part of town. You dine at the best restaurants, retain the most skilled and fashionable tailor, and have servants attending to your every need. You receive invitations to the social gatherings of the rich and powerful and spend evenings in the company of politicians, guild leaders, high priests, and nobility. (-8 Fate. Gain Trait: Spoiled.)
[] Royal.
A royal lifestyle means you are literally born into royalty; perhaps the son of the warrior-queen of an island nation, or the beloved daughter of a kind, wise king in the mainland. You are destined for a satisfactory and abundant living where everyone constantly looks to your smallest whims and needs. You can live anywhere you want, be it a royal palace or castle, or simply taking the land from a peasant and building yourself a luxurious vacation manse there. For even a perceived insult, you can order the guards to off the head from the wretched proletariat. (-10 Fate. Gain Trait: Spoiled.)
Name and gender will be decided later in character-creation.
Basically, a D&D Quest, except the QM doesn't know jackshit about D&D and has only barely gotten the hang of the D20 system. This will be fun as shit, I tell you.

Psychic
You can cast spells without verbal, somatic, or material components, although in some cases it may be required or useful to do so. You are now a magic caster, using your Wisdom ability modifier for your spells. You do not learn spells from tomes, but rather, learn them through meditation, self-invention, or from other psychic trainers. Learning from spelltomes is still possible, but the rate at which it is done will be hampered, like with any other non-wizard. Removes the division in MP counting. +10 Magic Points. Telepathy, 15m. Read Spells for more effects.
Drow Ex-Agent
Once, you served in the Spider-Queen's army. When encountering an officer of the Drow army or raiding party or an equivalent, make a d20 roll, DC12. Upon success, they know, recognize, and respect you, giving you a +5 modifier to all following interactions unless insulted. Critical failure gives opposite effect. Critical success gives doubled effect.
Son of Business
When bartering, you have an advantage. When bartering, upon a failed roll, you may reroll once automatically.
Tel-Quessir
You can live up to 750 years naturally.
Superior Darkvision
As a Drow, you can see even in pitch darkness, but only in various shades of grey.
Cold-Blooded Manipulator
Upon a successful Bluff check, you gain an advantage on all Charisma-related rolls with the person you manipulated for as long as they don't figure out the bluff.
Lolthtouched
As a Drow, you can cast Deeper Darkness, Darkfire, Dancing Lights, Darkness, Faerie Fire, Detect Good, Detect Magic, and Levitate at the cost of 1 magical energy for any of them, with no material components required. Your ability modifier for these rolls is Wisdom.
Keen Senses
As a Drow, you receive a +2 to all Perception skill checks. However, when in contact with sunlight, you take a -1 penalty to vision-based perception checks and Attack Rolls.
Magic Resistance
As a Drow, all magical damage is effectively halved. You also have an advantage on all saving rolls from magical effects.
Tel-Quessir Meditation
As a Drow, you take less time to rest properly when sleeping. In addition, instead of normal "sleep" you enter a meditative trance in which you are fully aware of your surroundings, which proves invaluable considering how many assassination attempts would take place otherwise. In addition, you are immune to magical sleep effects and you get +2 to any saving throw against magical enchantment effects.

All of the magic spells that you have memorized.
Lolthtouched
As a Drow, you can cast Deeper Darkness, Darkfire, Dancing Lights, Darkness, Faerie Fire, Detect Good, Detect Magic, and Levitate at the cost of 1 magical energy for any of them, with no material components required. Your ability modifier for these rolls is Wisdom.
Psychic Senses
Allows you to detect psychic energies, sense auras, their flavor, intensity, and color. Basically, you are a Jedi who senses the dark and light side. You can also sense invisible entities and you see through illusions, as well as sense magic in a range of 40 meters unless concealed. Passive.
Arcanis Supremus: Contains tens of pages of spells. No spell rises above 7th level. There are plenty of spells inside, not listed here and not memorized by you. Instead, you must look inside and read to find a spell.
Prestidigitation (.25MP): Performs a simple magic trick.
Telekinesis: Allows you to lift items with your mind, throw them at enemies, and perform similar maneuvers. Weight, speed, and quantity of items state cost in MP.
Jump: Allows you to jump higher with the MP growing with height. You can also add speed and momentum at varying costs to make deadly leaps across the battlefield.
Psychic Invention: At your mind's whim, you can invent new spells, but their effectiveness may prove doubtful.
Mindcrush (3MP): Deals 3d6 psychic damage to one opponent of your choice. Alternatively, amount of MP spent can be lowered with MP cost.
Charm Creature (1MP): You attempt to charm a single creature. It has a Wisdom saving throw. Upon failure, it considers you a good friend. When the spell ends, it doesn't know it was charmed by you and may in fact still remain friendly.
Suggestion (2MP): You speak (or telepathically convey) roughly up to two or three sentences worth of commands. The creature follows them if it fails a Wisdom saving throw. Creatures can be ordered to perform harmful actions or ones that go against their alignment, but in that case, they receive an additional Wisdom saving throw with an advantage.
Dominate Creature (5MP): You attempt to mentally dominate a single creature. If it fails a Wisdom saving throw, it is fully under your control for 1d4 days. Every six hours, it may retry the Wisdom saving throw.
Enthrall (7MP): You dominate a single creature. If it fails a Wisdom saving throw with an advantage, it is under your control for an hour. Each hour, it may attempt the Wisdom saving throw again without the advantage, but the DC grows by 4 with every such saving throw, until at 40, it becomes impossible to break the spell.

HOW ROLLS WORK:
Most of the time, I will roll a d20, apply appropriate modifiers and compare the outcome against a DC (difficulty) rating. The typical schtick. Naturally, there are exceptions, like percentile rolls or damage rolls.
OMAKE POLICY:
Yes, you can write fanfiction. For every 500 words in an omake, you get 1 Fate. The amount of Fate from an omake is doubled if the omake can be (and the QM can be convinced to,) tied into the canon of the story, in which case it will also have IC repercussions. Popularity among players or visible effort put into the omake may also yield additional benefits.
Any more notes on the system and mechanics will be put in here.
Most of the time, I will roll a d20, apply appropriate modifiers and compare the outcome against a DC (difficulty) rating. The typical schtick. Naturally, there are exceptions, like percentile rolls or damage rolls.

[X]Squalid You live in a leaky stable, a mud-floored hut just outside town, or a vermin-infested boarding house in the worst part of town. You have shelter from the elements, but you live in a desperate and often violent environment, in places rife with disease, hunger, and misfortune. (Gain Trait: Hardened.)

Pretty sure tally is wrong since 5 people have voted for Demi-God making it equal to half elf

Hmm? Oh, crap. It's a writing discrepancy. Good thing you noticed.

CHOICES:
Show Rolls - You get to see how badly the Random Number God fucked you over, or how much of his mercy he has shown you for the time being.
Demigod. (-10 Fate.)
Wealthy - A wealthy lifestyle means living a life of luxury. You have respectable lodgings, usually a spacious home in a good part of town or a comfortable suite at a fine inn. You likely have a small staff of servants. (-6 Fate.)
Fate Left: 4
Fate has blessed you with a life of fortune. Upon being born, it was clear to everyone around you, that the baby that came to this world was destined for greatness. Your parents were an unlikely match; one was a deity, and the other one a mortal.
You are...
[] Male.
[] Female.
Your parents named you...
[] Write-in. (Name.)
Your mortal parent is a...
[] Human.
[] Orc.
[] Lizardman.
[] Elf.
-[] Drow.
-[] Wood Elf.
[] Half-Elf.
[] Half-Orc.
[] Dwarf.
[] Write-in.
As a demigod, you are the descendant of a god or goddess. Gaian mythology speaks of a triumvirate of Three Great Gods who ruled over the universe in ancient times. These gods were - still are - the law that binds the universe.
Your godly parent is...
[] A greater deity... (-8 Fate.) [LOCKED]
-[] Mithras, Great God of Order.
-[] Veddartha, Great Goddess of Magic.
-[] Torath, Great God of Destruction.
[] A lesser deity of...
-[] Magic.
-[] Death.
-[] Nature.
-[] Love.
-[] Sea.
-[] Fertility.
-[] War.
-[] Trickery.
-[] Knowledge.
-[] Light.
-[] Adventure.
-[] Write-in.
Upon your birth, your godly parent entrusted your caretaking to your mortal parent, who was your...
[] Father.
[] Mother.
By the name of...
[] Write-in. (Parent's name.)
And they are a...
[] Military commander.
[] Rich and influential merchant.
[] Sophisticated artist.
[] Studious scholar.
[] Write-in. (High-class occupation. Don't go overboard with it, but creativity is appreciated and may be rewarded.)
The land you are native to is...
[] Albion. An island nation, teeming with wild dragons, adventurers, knights, lords and barons, intrigue, and kings. The land is currently in a power dispute, trying to find a new, rightful king.
[] Al-Hassad. A desert realm that is rife with treasure and scattered city-states who war amongst each other for influence, power, and arcane might which is important in the local culture.
[] Kvardia. A northern country, where it snows for most of the year. Full of high mountaintops and dangerous landscapes, the land is united only through a force of viking raiders and pirates that declare themselves rulers.
[] Write-in. (Any ideas?)
